I want to give (new!) Boston Globe education reporter @marcelanotes a shout-out for her being behind so many of the "I'm glad they wrote about this, and hey, they talked to the right people!" articles recently. Today's: bostonglobe.com/2025/09/02/m… #MAEdu

A father self-deports before dawn. A retired postman helps a 13-yr old through an immigration hearing. A woman signs paperwork to protect her children, lest she get picked up. There are the stories of the Massachusetts families impacted by ICE. bostonglobe.com/2025/07/02/m…

“I don’t understand what the motive for this is.” Last week, I witnessed a mother from the Dominican Republic have a medical episode as ICE agents arrested her in Boston’s immigration court after her hearing. This is what these ICE arrests look like: bostonglobe.com/2025/06/09/m…

Under a 2023 Texas law, students caught with vapes must be removed to disciplinary alternative schools. More students were sent to DAEP last year than at any point in the past decade. State lawmakers are now debating whether to ease up — or double down: dallasnews.com/news/educatio…

On a Monday last fall, only 52% of Cleburne ISD students came to school. Families were fearful after threats against campuses zoomed across Snapchat. A @dallasnews review of Texas Education Agency waivers shows the impact threats can on attendance: dallasnews.com/news/educatio…

Yesterday was my last day @dallasnews. It’s a bittersweet departure. Being a reporter in Texas taught me so much. I’m forever grateful for the amazing people I’ve met along the way. More on what’s next very soon.
