The 5-4 decision was a big victory for Trump in the court's first substantive ruling on one of his administration's policies. It also was the latest demonstration of a newly i...

Unified School District. http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-edu-los-angeles-teacher-evaluations-20180625-story.html...
How do you get kids to come to school on a regular basis in a district where more than half of the students are considered chronically absent? First, you make sure the curriculum is challenging and interesting. Second, you reach out to parents sooner than normal to alert them to their children's absences. And third, you make sure you have consistent policies in place and provide the kind of services that will keep students in school, despite challenges at home. https://www.freep.com/story/news/education/2018/06/25/detroit-sc...

The American Library Association is dropping Laura Ingalls Wilder’s name from a prestigious children’s literature award in order to distance the honor from what it described as culturally insensitive portrayals in her books. The decision was made out of a desire to reconcile the award with the organization’s values of “inclusiveness, integrity and respect,” representatives of the association said in a statement on Monday. The award is given out by its children’s division. https://www.nytimes.com/2018/06/26/books/laura-ingall...
