Today, Murrow College had the opportunity to host this year's group of first-year students! Although the academic advisors got to meet these students through New Coug Orientation, the rest of the college finally gets to meet our newest class. We are stoked to see how the year goes for these students as they start to navigate classes like COM 101, COM 102, and more. What piece of advice do you wish you had the first week of school? Sound off in the comments! #WSUWOW #MurrowProud #MurrowCollege #WSU

The State Charter Schools Commission (SCSC) has approved five new charter schools set to open in Fall 2025, including Columbus/Muscogee County’s first start-up and only charter school, Dominion Purpose Academy (DPA). Columbus, Georgia’s 3rd largest city by population, has long awaited this addition, as other major cities outside Atlanta like Augusta, Savannah, and Macon have had multiple charter schools serving their communities for years. DPA will not only be the first start-up charter school in Columbus, but also the only charter school within an hour's drive of the city. We are excited to see DPA offer a much-needed PUBLIC education option for families in Columbus. While the city continues to thrive with industry and opportunity, it is also home to two of Georgia’s most impoverished zip codes. The three elementary schools closest to DPA’s proposed location have 87% of their combined students scoring below grade proficiency levels in ELA, Math, and Science. One of these schools has only 5% of students reading at grade level proficiency. Now, these families will have a choice, and we are confident that DPA will be a game changer by providing access to a high-quality, innovative charter school. With over 14,000 students on wait lists for charter schools all over Georgia, bringing one to a very large community that lacks options- like Columbus- is a significant win for students and families. I can’t wait to visit Dominion Purpose Academy when it opens in Fall 2025! https://lnkd.in/eaJSMU9Q

Something to think about

OSPI's Attendance and Reengagement Project utilized federal Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) funds to support student attendance, engagement, and reengagement. Tacoma Public Schools received an ESSER grant from OSPI to support the creation of attendance teams and contract with community partners to address the underlying reasons for absences. With one of their community partners, they launched the Embodied Leadership Program. The program works with middle school students to help them build confidence and a sense of purpose. "So, looking at attendance as an early warning indicator to figure out where the supports are needed and then looking holistically as a building or as a district, what are things that we need to put in place to help students feel that sense of belonging and community," Jimmy Gere, Attendance & Reengagement Specialist Tacoma Public Schools.

Definitely an exciting milestone. Intentional planning is the first step in progressing a cohesive, mission driven development. "Noting that the area was once called Sheep Hill and owned by Nathaniel Bacon (of Bacon’s Rebellion fame), Lucas said: “As the oldest African-American-owned, continuously run nonprofit, and as an anchor institution for this side of Northside, we have what we feel is a historic responsibility to try to drive the economic community development of this side of town. “For us, the question is how do we transform this space again into a vibrant, living-learning-working, middle-class neighborhood that represents the best of Richmond, and not just a hedge fund-owned, sparsely curated industrial park,” he said." #VUU #virginiaunionuniversity #RVA #planning #design #architecture #construction #campusplanning #development #collegesanduniversities #highereducation #studentsuccess #communitydevelopment #communityimpact

"By being assertive and seeking clarity before the child is even in school, we’re cutting through the noise and establishing what challenges we’re going to face and what support measures we need to put in place to get those children into school. " Peter Hughes, CEO of The Mossbourne Federation. Part 2 in our inspirational Mossbourne attendance series explores the importance of laying the foundations for success to achieve high pupil attendance.
