- Kinda weird: Fordham’s Chad Aldis gets more column inches than the ed board themselves in this editorial opining against the state’s academic distress paradigm. And he is definitely on the other side of the fence from them. (The Morning Journal, 5/4/19)
- North Olmstead City Schools’ superintendent held his state of the schools presentation last week. In it, he mentioned two problems facing the district: charter and voucher schools “taking” $800K from the district’s budget and the district’s continued declining enrollment. Of course those two things are actually only one interconnected thing. And the district’s real problem, apparently, will remain hidden. (Cleveland.com, 5/6/19)
- Finally today: Ummm… Say what now? (ABC57 News, South Bend, Indiana, 5/4/19)
