Moderna said Tuesday its COVID-19 vaccine strongly protects kids as young as 12, a step that could put the shot on track to become the second option for that age group in the U.S. With global vaccine supplies still tight, much of the world is struggling to vaccinate adults in the quest to end the pandemic. But earlier this month, the U.S. and Canada authorized another vaccine - the shot made by Pfizer and BioNTech - to be used starting at age 12. Moderna aims to be next in line, saying it will...
BOSTON (WWLP) — Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey announced that she joined a coalition of 23 attorneys in calling on federal Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona to reinstate a 2014 guidance package designed to help public schools to administer student discipline equitably. Healey joined the attorneys general from New York, Vermont, Connecticut, Maine, Rhode Island, Washington, and other states in calling for reform. “Discipline measures can have lifelong consequences for young people, so it is particularly important that, when use...
LANSING, Mich. (AP) - Michigan Republicans on Tuesday advanced a bill that would prohibit state and local health officials from requiring COVID-19 vaccinations for children under age 18. The concept is not under consideration in the state. But GOP senators said they want to be proactive. "While they might not be mandating something, they're certainly creating a scenario where mandates are being pushed. I just wanted to ensure that that wasn't going to happen in this space. Parents should be...
SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — Amid pressure from some parents and teachers, public schools across New Mexico have rejected tens of millions of dollars in state funding for extra learning days. Each “no” vote from local school boards is a blow to the state Legislature’s signature education initiative. Based on years of research about how best to improve academic outcomes for children and narrow the achievement gap for struggling students, the plan takes aim at the three idle summer months that hold back many students. The research found that extendi...
Two days after the school board in Johnston, Iowa, decided last week to keep requiring mask wearing in schools to prevent coronavirus transmission, the state's Republican governor signed a law that immediately prohibited such mandates. The reaction in Johnston was swift and sharply divided, with some parents applauding the move to make masks optional for the waning days of the school year and others calling it dangerous given the continued threat from COVID-19. "I just find it super...
When Jean-Pierre Roberts entered Wilson High School in Washington, D.C., as a freshman in 2018, he expected his new school to be a safe and accepting place. But on the first day, Roberts was greeted by officers who ushered him through the school’s metal detectors instead of a welcoming committee. Roberts, 17, said that as a young Black man, he feels uncomfortable by police presence in schools because of racial profiling. “As a person of color, I feel like I’m constantly being surveilled and watched in case I do something, as if they expec...
Last week the St. Paul Pioneer Press published an op/ed by MN350 climate justice organizer Grant Stevensen calling on Gov. Tim Walz and other elected officials to catch up with Minnesotans’ demand for a cleaner energy system. A recent poll sponsored by MN350 showed Minnesotans favor more clean energy by significant margins, but our elected officials are lagging behind in turning the will of the people into meaningful action. For instance both the governor and members of the Minnesota House supported and pushed a 100% clean energy bill last s...
St. Paul, MN: Customers who have stepped-up to “buy local” over the last year can include plants grown right here in Minnesota. Now is the best time to shop local nurseries and garden centers, and consumers have a convenient way to connect with over 100 of them around the state, through the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s Minnesota Grown Directory. Jay Holasek, grower and vice president of Holasek Flower Power Garden Center, notes the benefits of working with local growers. “Here at Holasek Flower Power garden center, we grow almost...

St. Paul, MN: The Minnesota Department of Agriculture (MDA) has positively identified the invasive weed Palmer amaranth in Polk County. The confirmation came after the MDA inspected a field being used for the disposal of agricultural screenings. The MDA collected a sample of the screenings material and determined by genetic testing that it was contaminated with Palmer amaranth seed. The field was scouted, and MDA staff found several dead Palmer amaranth plants on the field’s edge remaining from last year, suggesting the plants had grown and m...
