  • Teacher protests close most Detroit schools again today

    May 4, 2016

    The American Federation of Teachers and its Detroit local are seeking to pressure state lawmakers to pass a bailout plan for the city’s troubled school system.

She said educators want to be in their classrooms with students but need a guarantee that they will be p...

  • In Wealthier School Districts, Students Are Farther Apart

    May 4, 2016

    Some of the wealthiest, most-educated towns in the United States have the biggest academic-achievement gaps between white students and their peers of color. That is one of the depressing facts emerging from a wide-ranging new analysis of more than 200 million test scores of 40 million students from around the country between 2009 and 2013 by Stanford University researchers. Comparing district-level data across states is complicated because not all students take the same tests. The researchers created a database that allows these comparisons,...

  • Murfreesboro child arrests part of a growing national concern

    May 4, 2016

  • Washington County prosecutor sees uptick in online sex solicitations

    May 4, 2016

    Online solicitations of girls and women for sex reached nearly 16,000 in the metro area in the first quarter of 2016, Washington County’s major crimes prosecutor said Tuesday. All the ads collected came from a single website — Backpage.com — which means the total number of metro-area solicitations would be even higher if other websites were included, Imran Ali told Washington County commissioners during a board workshop. http://www.startribune.com/washington-co-prosecutor-sees-uptick-in-online-sex-solicitations/378047621/...
