A year after a massive budget shortfall forced the Baltimore city school district to lay off 115 people — including the first classroom teachers to lose their jobs in a decade — this year’s $1.3 billion proposed budget does not call for layoffs. In fact, the system is creating more than 50 positions, with most going toward the superintendent’s signature initiative that will provide literacy coaches and social support workers to select high-need schools. http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/maryland/education/bs-md-ci-school-budg...
The Minneapolis school district continues to work to fill a $33 million budget gap that school officials blame on the failure of the state and federal governments to fully fund mandated programs for special education students and English learners. Some observers point out that the state was able to devote hundreds of millions of taxpayer funds to a new NFL stadium in recent years, suggesting misplaced priorities. Others see the stadium and public education as separate issues facing a state that’s trying to bolster economic development in a...

Following a 383-2 vote in the U.S. House of Representatives to pass legislation transferring the property to the tribe, the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians is one step closer to gaining ownership of 76 ancestrally important acres in Tennessee. The land in question is located in Monroe County, Tennessee, and is home to the Sequoyah Birthplace Museum, the Chota Memorial, the Tanasi Memorial and acreage supporting these properties and cultural programs. The property borders Tellico Lake, with much of it currently owned by the Tennessee Valley...
Peggy Flanagan had wanted to be a special education teacher. She'd volunteered in special education classrooms for almost a decade. She'd earned her degree in the field. But toward the end of her time in school, she ended up on a drive past Sen. Paul Wellstone's reelection headquarters. Wellstone, a progressive lion, had served two terms in the Senate. He wanted a third. (He died in a plane crash less than two weeks before the race.) Flanagan liked him, in particular for his simple conviction that politics could improve people's lives. On a...
The Trump administration says Native Americans might need to get a job to keep their health care. But Navajo leaders say that policy defies their 150-year-old treaty rights. Three states have introduced a rule — and several more plan to — that says a person has to work or to be in school to receive Medicaid benefits. The Trump administration says American Indians are a race, not a separate government, and exempting tribes would give them preferential treatment. https://news.azpm.org/p/news-articles/2018/4/25/128336-navajo-le...
KSFR independent producer Harlan McKosato’s illuminating three-part series on Native American Homelessness is particularly timely with the recent news of the murder of a homeless Navajo man in Albuquerque, allegedly at the hands of two teens, for quote, “just for fun.” Here now is episode three: http://ksfr.org/post/native-american-homeless-day-day-final-installment...
The issue goes back to 2011, when the Big River First Nations was given a warning about environmental violations at a gasoline station on the reserve. The situation involved contraventions of the Storage Tank Systems for Petroleum Products and Allied Petroleum Products Regulations. http://www.rcinet.ca/en/2018/04/25/first-nation-fined-100k-over-environmental-infraction-and-a-single-word/...
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Two people have taken plea deals for the slaying of a man on an American Indian reservation in northeast Nebraska. Federal court records say 20-year-old Jeremiah Wolfe pleaded guilty Tuesday in U.S. District Court in Omaha to second-degree murder and his mother, 39-year-old Natasha Wolfe, pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit second-degree murder. http://www.nptelegraph.com/news/state/take-plea-deals-for-slaying-of-man-on-nebraska-reservation/article_9a4c17c4-d764-5639-8b20-897b5d00d3c0.html...
When Juan Rodriguez Cabrillo’s fleet first sailed into the San Diego harbor in 1542, the Kumeyaay were on hand to greet the strangers. The various bands of the Kumeyaay have called a wide range of land — including what is now San Diego County, east to the Yuma Sand Dunes, north to Warner Springs Valley and south to Ensenada — home for more than 10,000 years. The Spaniards encountered a complex society, who were master ecologists. The Kumeyaay had developed advanced land and watershed management strategies and social structures. They inhab...
If there was any doubt that the auto industry is rapidly changing, Ford just delivered proof. The industry pioneer is scaling back its North American small car lineup in North America to just two vehicles, the Mustang and the unrevealed Focus Active crossover, in the "next few years." The rest of its range will be limited to SUVs, trucks and commercial vehicles. Ford isn't shy about its reasons: "declining consumer demand and product profitability" make it impractical to develop other sedans. You'd better act quickly if you've been looking at...

Despite little visible movement, new gun legislation expanding background checks for gun sales and establishing gun violence restraining orders may have life at the Minnesota Capitol. On Wednesday, Minnesota House Speaker Kurt Daudt said he’s hopeful common ground can still be reached to expand background checks. And on Thursday, Democrats will make a push on the Senate floor for two recently revised plans to expand background checks and allow police to petition courts to temporarily seize guns from someone deemed to be a danger. h...
