  • Statement on Race from the American Indian College Fund

    Jun 5, 2020

    I am a Native mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. The men, women, girls, and boys in my family are Indigenous. I have spent my entire life living with the possibility of violence or death aimed at myself and the people who I love the most. Every single time an act of violence against a person or a group of people of color is in the news, I know in my heart it is only one visible act—and that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of acts of violence, overt and covert, committed against people of color every day that are not witnessed by...

  • Most Educators Want Schools to Stay Closed to Slow Spread of COVID-19

    Jun 5, 2020

    As school district leaders struggle to solve the complex equation of reopening buildings in the fall or maintaining virtual learning, several factors are weighing heavily on their minds. How do you make educators feel comfortable in their work environments when more than half of them prefer school buildings stay shut to slow the spread of COVID-19? What about educators and students with underlying health conditions? And what if remote learning must continue in the fall even though the approach led to declining student engagement this spring?...

  • The pandemic's toll: nearly 500,000 public education jobs disappeared across U.S. in April

    Jun 5, 2020

    In March, there were just over 8 million jobs in K-12 public education. By mid-April, that figure had dropped to just over 7.5 million - a loss of nearly 500,000 jobs. "More K–12 public education jobs were lost in April than in all of the Great Recession," wrote Elise Gould, who analyzed the data for the Economic Policy Institute, a union-backed progressive think tank. "And that's before any austerity measures from lost state and local revenue have been put in place." https://www.chalkbeat.org/2020/6/3/21279747/pandemic-coro...

  • Infante-Green: Return to school in R.I. will involve hybrid of in-person and online classes

    Jun 5, 2020

    PROVIDENCE -- When classes begin again this fall, students will take a mix of online and in-person classes, and districts will have some flexibility over how they offer this hybrid model. Although the state Department of Education is mulling over several different learning scenarios, State Education Commissioner Angelica Infante-Green did offer the following broad outlines at a hearing Wednesday before the House Committee on Health, Education and Welfare. First, she said it was “extremely important” to get students in grades kindergarten to...

  • Food as Medicine on the Navajo Nation

    Jun 5, 2020

    In March, when COVID-19 closed down the schools in Kayenta, Arizona-just 25 miles from Chilchinbito, home to the first known case on the Navajo Nation-the school district enlisted its bus drivers to get meals out to its 2,000 students. "After spring break, they delivered food for three days," said Lemual Adson, the superintendent of Kayenta Unified Schools, in a recent phone call. "They went out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and then on Thursday, the Indian Health Service called me and ordered us...

  • COVID-19 in Arizona: Navajo Nation cancels July 4 celebrations, ends weekend curfew

    Jun 5, 2020

    PHOENIX – Navajo leaders on Wednesday canceled this year’s Fourth of July celebrations in Window Rock as the tribe continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. President Jonathan Nez announced the cancellation Wednesday during a Facebook Live town hall in which he also lifted the 57-hour weekend curfew “unless we see numbers increase once again for coronavirus cases.” In addition, the reopening of businesses has been pushed from June 8 to July 5, which will give the tribe more time to clean buildings, get employees tested and get stocked...
