In the end, an absence is an absence, whether it’s because a student is sick, disinterested in school, or suspended, district leaders and advocates said at a forum at the Brookings Institution on expanded accountability under the Every Student Succeeds Act. h...
Houston ISD leaders will not turn over control of their 10 longest-struggling schools to any outside organizations, district leaders announced Wednesday, a decision that shifts enormous power over HISD's future to the Texas Education Agency. The move, in all likelihood, means HISD must receive accountability or sanctions waivers from TEA Commissioner Mike Morath for the district to avoid forced campus closures or a state takeover of its locally elected school board. The potential punishments follow HISD's failure to improve performance at the...
National Influenza Vaccination Disparities Partnership members focused a lot of energy on communications and public education during the peak of the 2017-18 flu season.

Native American tribes have been free to own and operate breweries and wineries since the 1950s, but they are still prohibited from operating distilleries on tribal land under a 184-year-old law. That would change under a bill co-sponsored by Southwest Washington Congresswoman Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, who is proposing to repeal a 19th-century prohibition on tribal distilleries. https://tdn.com/news/local/herrera-beutler-bill-would-allow-tribes-to-operate-distilleries/article_f990e02c-2cb9-5345-b29a-29a790f6762...

To most spectators, the term "Olympics" means world-class swimming competitions, downhill skiing, or the 100-meter dash.

Some anglers go above and beyond to make fishing better in Minnesota by purchasing walleye stamps that help the Department of Natural Resources add walleye to lakes where there otherwise would be none. “Buying a walleye stamp is a concrete way to help maintain fishing opportunities in Minnesota,” said Neil Vanderbosch, DNR fisheries program consultant. Funds from walleye stamps go toward the cost of purchasing 4- to 6-inch walleye called fingerlings from private fish farms for stocking into lakes. A walleye stamp is not required to fish for...
