Portrait of Sarah Mervosh

Sarah Mervosh

I write about schools across the United States and the biggest issues that affect students, teachers and families. That includes topics like reading and math, policies like school vouchers and the political forces that shape what happens in the classroom. I focus mostly on public schools, which the vast majority of U.S. students attend. I am fascinated by schools that succeed, and spend a lot of time trying to understand which education policies are most effective.

I joined The Times in 2018 and worked extensively on our coverage of the coronavirus pandemic. Previously, I was a reporter at The Dallas Morning News. I grew up in Pittsburgh and graduated from the University of Notre Dame.

I do not donate to education advocacy groups. In keeping with Times policy, I do not campaign for or donate to political candidates. You can read more in The Times’s Ethical Journalism handbook.
