Hey supts- just a friendly reminder that it is DEFINITELY ALLOWED to use ARP funds to offer incentives to students (and their families!) to get the COVID-19 vaccine. Official text from ED here: oese.ed.gov/files/2021/07/FA…

Agree, though I'd encourage you to read the blog post you cite, beginning with the first sentence: "One of the most enduring—and maddening—aspects of Betsy DeVos’s legacy as secretary of education will be the way she has politically charged complicated issues in education."
29 Oct 2020
.@BrookingsInst: If public health were driving districts’ decisions, we might expect to see districts with relatively high COVID-19 rates opting for distance learning. In reality, there is no relationship between reopening decisions and cases. brookings.edu/blog/brown-cen…

Nice piece (and study) here by Mike Gilraine. Always so struck by the magnitude and range of positive effects from (low-cost!) efforts to reduce kids' exposure to pollutants. Low-hanging fruit for policymakers looking to improve health educational outcomes.

Low-cost interventions, like plug-in air filters, may be able to deliver the promised health and academic benefits of cleaner air in classrooms. brook.gs/3mwg37y

1/ @JonValant writes, "national politics—and the strings attached to federal resources—can affect the decisions of local and state leaders."
Giving extra $ for reopening reminds me of ethics debate about compensating research subjects without coercing them...

School reopening plans are overwhelmingly linked to politics rather than public health, per a new analysis from @JonValant. brook.gs/3381DEa

New post... Depressing, not surprising -- school district reopening plans more correlated with local Trump support than local COVID conditions

A piece from one of my favorite people about how the (cruel, ridiculous) ICE guidelines are derailing her grad school career.
13 Jul 2020
.@Quintero05Diana is one of the students affected by ICE guidelines that would require int'l students to leave the US if their university goes online.
She explains why this policy would be devastating for the 800K foreign students in American higher ed: brook.gs/3j2zeEP

The Trump administration is proposing changes to school menus that allow more potatoes and pizza and fewer vegetables and fruits, per @washingtonpost.
But research has shown that healthier school meals are linked with better academic performance. brook.gs/2yXWkJe
