Gadfly Bites 5/1/17 - The more questions than answers edition

Jeff Murray
5.1.2017
  1. Does the state budget bill as it stands right now water down charter school accountability? Doug Livingston – while NOT on the education beat, mind you – is doggedly on the case to find an answer. (Akron Beacon Journal, 4/28/17)
     
  2. Are editors in Youngstown inconsistent in supporting district CEO Krish Mohip’s plan to return to neighborhood schools? They opined on the topic – and the self-reflective question – this weekend. (Youngstown Vindicator, 4/30/17)
     
  3. Are Ohio’s students subjected to too much testing? Three Toledo area teachers on the state’s testing committee have no doubt about the answer to that question. (Toledo Blade, 4/30/17)
     
  4. Is social capital a proxy for wealth in regard to student success? An OSU researcher is part of team looking at that very question. (Columbus Dispatch, 5/1/17)
     
  5. Bonus question: Is soccer too expensive to start up as a varsity sport? Clearview school district is weighing the hella pricey-sounding options. (Northern Ohio Morning Journal, 4/30/17)
