This is a milestone moment, and one we should stop and take stock of. More MKE students now are educated outside of @MilwaukeeMPS than inside the district.
As new state leaders talk K12 funding, will they make sure that ALL of MKE’s students benefit?

Today’s Supreme Court ruling affirms what we already know to be true: Charter schools are public schools.
Thanks to @charteralliance and the many national advocates who advocated for today’s outcome.

It's pretty simple @DrJillUnderly:
22 to 19 on the ACT is lowering the bar
"Meeting , Below College Ready" isn't OK
Leaders across the spectrum from @GovEvers to @SpeakerVos, & orgs across the spectrum from @ppi to @WILawLiberty, aren't all "getting it wrong" – at Milwaukee, WI

I finally have a website where all my writing, editorial, and podcast work lives! Over the years, I've ghostwritten essays, op-eds, and two books. I've penned essays on race and culture and a middle grade fantasy manuscript (that I am currently querying!) nicolegyoung.com/

Buried in today's @WisconsinDPI data release - due to lower standards, WI now has a new category: students "meeting expectations", but below college-ready. on the ACT.
We @CityForwardCol have been clear: DPI's changes are bad for students & families. This is just one reason why.
Josh McCarty retweeted
Denver's reforms offer lessons to others seeking change. The challenges that led DPS to reinvent itself—chronic low-performance, financial instability, & declining enrollment—districts across the country face today. Districts can take needed courage from evidence of its success.
