FNA granted an advisory seat on the Fairbanks school board June 6, 2024 Fairbanks, Alaska — In a unanimous vote, the Fairbanks North Star Borough School District Board of Education voted to assign FNA an advisory board seat. “This is a historic moment for Fairbanks Native Association,” said Melissa Charlie, FNA executive director. “Our leaders, past and present, have long dreamed of having a seat on the school board.” “FNA will bring a unique and culturally rich perspective that will benefit the success of all students. We take this role very seriously and come prepared to work and advocate for excellent education for all students in this district.” Education for Alaska Native students was one to the issues FNA faced when it organized in 1963. FNA has experience in addressing the difficult issues of graduation rates, achievement gaps, attendance, test scores, and the wellbeing of families and students, Charlie said. “We thank the board for this opportunity, and look forward to joining the board in the fall,” she said.

Yesterday, the New York State Education Department presented a new vision for State Graduation Requirements. This November, the Department is expected to present its related state department implementation plan. Other states looking to similarly move toward modernizing graduation requirements and measures can access two reports that helped inform years of rigorous analysis and deliberation underlying NYSED's efforts. The reports, curated by the Region 2 Comprehensive Center at NYSED's request, reflect what is known about how other states approach graduation measures and requirements, including performance based assessments. They are accessible here: https://lnkd.in/erehmR-B #R2CC WestEd #GraduationRequirements #GraduationMeasures

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐨𝐧? The north-south divide is at an all time high, with the government recently listing 55 'coldspots' for education, with many of these being in the north of the country. Dudley, Middlesborough, and Oldham were among 3 of these 'coldspots' with the weakest education outcomes, meaning students were leaving with lower prospects than the rest of the country. However, the DfE recently approved plans with Eton College and Star Academies for a partnership of 3 sixth forms to be built in these towns to increase the engagement with education in these areas. Eton will fund £1 million a year per college on top of current funding levels, with the aim of helping students from deprived backgrounds in the north secure places at top universities. It's great to see Eton recognise their own privilege and the north-south divide to help children from deprived areas receive extra funding. Is this just a PR stunt for Eton or a step in the right direction?
