    Jul 11, 2018

    The persistent hum of an air filter fills Jeff Tentinger’s living room all day, every day. He and his wife, Robin, hoped the smell of cigarette smoke in their downtown St. Paul condo would go away after the condo board voted to ban smoking in the building.

  • Setback for Vouchers, Charter Schools in Puerto Rican Court's Ruling

    Jul 11, 2018

    The Puerto Rican government's push this year to increase school choice has been at least temporarily tripped up by a judge's decision. Superior Judge Iris González ruled that private school vouchers violate Puerto Rico's Constitution, Primera Hora reported. In addition, González declared in the ruling released last Friday that only the University of Puerto Rico and Puerto Rico's municipalities may operate "alianza" schools, which are intended to be similar to charter schools. http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/campaign-k-12/2018...

The Food Research and Action Center's (FRAC) newly-released 2018 Summer Nutrition Status Report entitled "Hunger Doesn't Take a Vacation" finds that only a little over 3 million of those 20 million children from low-income homes...
