Facing declining enrollment and struggling student performance, many school board members are facing questions of closing and consolidating district schools. This report may lend some insights to help them navigate the situation in their district. https://lnkd.in/ewWhYsaq

https://lnkd.in/gVjXyFaV We look at the complex factors that parents must consider when choosing schools for their children, and what options are available for separated couples who are struggling to come to a decision.

"Father’s Day graduation success stories like Larry’s should be more common and less fraught with tribulations. Student parents are resilient and strive to do what is best for their children. But as policymakers, leaders, administrators and practitioners, how can we build a more equitable system for parenting college students nationwide? By supporting student-parent success, we ensure the success of their children and future generations. So, this #FathersDay, how will you join the movement to ensure every student father and every student parent has the support they need to succeed?," writes Queena Hoang, Ed.D. from Michelson 20MM Foundation.

While this article shares reasons for some of the decline in the K12 public ed sector, such as a significant movement of families toward private schooling and homeschooling, it fails to mention why they have left such as the indoctrination of woke heresies, DEI, and the kidnapping of children’s minds from their parents instruction. Here’s to the continued increase in Christian schooling, whether micro schools, homeschools or hybrid situations. What are your thoughts?

IGNORING THE LONG-KNOWN FACT THAT, COMPARED WITH THEIR SUBURBAN & RURAL COUNTERPARTS, LARGELY URBAN SCHOOL DISTRICTS LIKE DUVAL COUNTY ENROLL STUDENTS WHOSE PARENTS HAVE LOWER EDUCATION LEVELS (#1 predictor of student success,) and a LARGER PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS IN POVERTY & MORE STUDENTS FROM FAMILIES WITH LOWER INCOME LEVELS (based upon # of students eligible for free and reduced-price lunch) THIS FLORIDA TIMES-UNION ARTICLE IS SOPHOMORIC. 💩🤯🤮. https://lnkd.in/e7E4Ee63

Another important data story from Sarah Mervosh on the role of chronic absenteeism in limiting learning recovery. Around one-third of students in low-income districts missed 18+ days of school last year. Overlay this with Timothy Daly's recent writing on heightened teacher absences, and you have a lot of kids losing 20% of instructional days in a year. No perfect answers, but heartening to see the recent study from the National Student Support Accelerator on District of Columbia Public Schools (DCPS)which showed kids with tutors were more likely to come to school. We need to give kids and families a reason to believe they are loved and supported. https://lnkd.in/eCizYCb7

Education is the single most important component of any advanced modern society. I find the attached article shocking. Parents of school age children, what is wrong with you?

While millions of undergraduates across the nation juggle coursework with parenting, their unique challenges often remain invisible within college systems. This lack of visibility can lead to a significant gap in the support these student parents critically need. Today, we spotlight Nicole Lynn Lewis, Founder & CEO of Generation Hope. Under her leadership, Generation Hope has championed the cause of student parents by providing nearly $1M in tuition assistance, celebrating 170 degrees earned, and impacting nearly 100,000 student parents through partnerships with 16 colleges and universities. Through their systemic change efforts and technical assistance program, FamilyU, Generation Hope is making monumental strides. "We are already seeing states pass legislation that requires higher education institutions to collect data on parenting status," Nicole shares. "It's inspiring to see the tangible results of these initiatives." We call on the EdLoC network to engage with this cause: share your insights, support legislative change, and advocate for better recognition and support of student parents. Your actions today can pave the way for more young people of color to thrive. #WeAreEdLoC #EducationEquity
