April 7, 2020 Denver, Colo.— American Indians and Alaska Natives have significantly higher rates of chronic diseases and resulting effects, according to the Centers for Disease Control. It is more important than ever that tribal colleges and universities (TCUs) create greater opportunities in the health sciences fields to better serve Native people. Today the American Indian College Fund published Native Health Workforce Recommendations 2019, a report resulting from its September 2019 roundtable in Bismarck, North Dakota, where the College F...
WASHINGTON, D.C. [04/08/20]— U.S. Senator Tina Smith (D-Minn.)—a member of the Senate Indian Affairs Committee—says that Congress heeded her call to ensure Native elders continue to have nutrition assistance during the COVID-19 pandemic. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) includes $20 million in emergency funding for Native elder nutrition programs. Sen.

Thanks to the monarch agreement, more than 45 companies in the energy and transportation sectors and countless private landowners...
BURLINGTON, April 8 — In an opinion piece published today in The Guardian, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) laid out the “core principles” which he believes must guide Congress’s next legislative package to tackle the coronavirus pandemic: We cannot rely on Trump.

Tribal leaders and environmental groups in Minnesota are criticizing a Pollution Control Agency decision to allow a permitting process for the controversial Line 3 pipeline to proceed even as the agency halts a review for another project because of concerns about the COVID-19 pandemic. The agency last week announced it would suspend a rule-making process around the adoption of Clean Car Standards. The standards are intended to decrease pollution and increase the availability of electric vehicles in Minnesota. “Public engagement is critical t...

April 8, 2020 (SAINT PAUL) — Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison characterized the Minnesota Supreme Court ruling today that Secretary of State Steve Simon complied with Minnesota law in not releasing voter data to an organization that was not entitled to have it as “a big win for Minnesota voters’ privacy.” “The Supreme Court’s decision today is a big win for Minnesota voters’ privacy,” Attorney General Ellison said. “I’m proud of the role our office played in helping Minnesotans live with the dignity and respect that comes from knowing...
With group gatherings currently not allowed because of the coronavirus, school boards across the country have been transitioning public meetings to virtual platforms. But if they don’t have a plan for allowing public comments, are they at risk of violating open meeting laws? Such laws vary from state to state, and not all specify whether members of the public have a right to address public officials. But some do. In California, for example, citizens have a right to attend — or in today’s reality — view the meeting and to “directly address e...

Schools need upwards of $200 billion in new aid to help them deal with the coronavirus, several education groups, including the two national teachers' unions, have told congressional leaders—well above their previous request for emergency help. The Monday letter to Capitol Hill says that in addition to at least $175 billion in state stabilization funding for K-12 budgets, Title I programs for disadvantaged students should get a $12 billion boost, and special education should get a fresh $13 billion in funding. And the 12 organizations r...
Since her daughters' school closed for the coronavirus outbreak, Mariana Luna has been thrust into the role of their primary educator, like millions of parents across the U.S. But each day, before she can go over their schoolwork, her 9-year-old first has to help her understand what the assignments say. A Spanish speaker originally from Mexico, Luna uses Google Translate on her phone and, when she gets stuck, asks her daughter to translate instructions and emails from teachers. https://www.usnews.com/news/us/articles/2020-04...
The Washington Post (4/7, Stein) reports on efforts by Hanover Area School District Superintendent Nathan Barrett to “salvage his Pennsylvania school district’s graduation ceremony” by hosting it at a local drive-in movie theater. On June 4, the district’s nearly 200 seniors and their families “will drive to the theater, remain in their cars, and the students will receive their diplomas — or symbolically receive them, depending on what the guidance is at the time from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.” Barrett said he is current...
For decades, lawmakers and K-12 education advocates alike have been fighting to close the digital divide by expanding internet access to areas that need it most — poor, rural communities. A 2019 report from the Federal Communications Commission, the agency responsible for, among other things, getting Americans connected to the internet, estimated that 21.3 million Americans, 6.5 percent of the population, lack internet access. Some 12 million of them are students in K-12 schools. https://www.the74million.org/article/laurens-...
Even with $13.5 billion in coronavirus relief aid provided to schools by Congress last month, an across-the-board 8 percent cut to states’ school funding would lead to a decline in per-pupil spending in all 50 states, a new analysis shows. In addition, the analysis by Michael Griffith, a veteran school finance consultant, finds that the K-12 relief package signed by President Donald Trump on March 27 as part of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act amounts to less than 2 percent of all spending on public schools. h...
