@Metrorailinfo Are shuttles still recommended from Ballston to McPherson? Train operator still waiting instructions after 15 min stoppage
English
UPDATE: Orange/Blue/Silver: Trains are not running between McPherson Square and Clarendon/Arlington Cemetery because of a report of a fire at Foggy Bottom. Foggy Bottom station is closed. Shuttle service is being established.

@RbnLake Yet another example of “local control” not serving the interests of families
English
The approach is mind boggling, and communication from the district remains baffling and often dismissive, parents said. “You can’t save small schools by forcing people into them,” said a parent “ You save them by listening and building schools people want to be a part of.” 2/2
English
This is truly absurd. Seattle school district is artificially limiting enrollment in district-run schools of choice to preserve the schools people want to leave. Great reporting from @drsuperville seattletimes.com/education-lab/… 1/2

Chart of the day from @ChadAldeman “At the moment, American achievement scores are falling and gaps are growing, but it wasn’t that long ago when the data were going in a much more positive direction.”

@BBrownIndy And its regulations- especially since the grad rate regs requiring ACGR have also had impact. But I’m hardly impartial on this issue overall.

Who would read a "No Child Left Behind was actually good" column?

Loved talking about the promise of charter schools and policies that lead to charter school growth with @MichaelPetrilli, Senator Calatayu (FL) @AlexisMCalatayu and Sen. Linda Rogers (IN). Freedom, finance and facilities are key! @charteralliance

@MichaelPetrilli 💯OGC and OIG have the fear of God in staff that work on anything choice related for sure.

"...bureaucrats spend way too much of their time complying with hundreds of rules mandated by Congress, rather than using their independent judgment to make decisions that lead to good results for citizens."

Yes to this! Including at @usedgov
