A story covering our study in Social Science Research looking at how a district's two-way dual language programs attract students within and across zones.

With an amazing team: @lucasantibanez.bsky.social, Sarah Asson, Clemence Darriet, Francesca Lopez, & Claudia Cervantes-Soon.

“On the 70th anniversary of the Bus Boycott, Gray said the most important thing for people to do, aside from continuing to fight for civil rights, is for people to know their history, and use it to impact the future.”

Charlotte-Mecklebburg Schools, according to reports, saw 15% of its students absent today amid Border Patrol operations in Charlotte. If that percentage of 15% happens Tuesday in Wake County due to the Border Patrol coming to Raleigh, 24.000 students could be absent from school. #nced #ncpol #wcpss

Especially important school board races--to help determine how our public schools include and educate all children--and judicial races on the ballot in PA.

I have a beginning violist in my household (such a beautiful instrument!) and I appreciate this reframing to share…

Dear Secretary McMahon, Ms. Mailman, and Mr. Haley, I appreciated the opportunity to speak with you yesterday. I welcome further engagement around how we can (a) enhance the long-standing partnership between the federal government and this country's leading research universities and (b) ensure that higher education stays focused on academic excellence. As I shared on the call, I do not believe that the involvement of the government through a compact--whether it is a Republican- or Democratic-led White House- is the right way to focus America's leading colleges and universities on their teaching and research mission. Our universities have a responsibility to set our own academic and institutional policies, guided by our mission and values, our commitment to free expression, and our obligations under the law. Staying true to this responsibility is what will help American higher education build bipartisan public trust and continue to uphold its place as the envy of the world. We remain open to other ways to work with the federal government to enhance higher education. Best, Sian Leah Beilock President

Dartmouth is OUT! Thank goodness... a friend at U of A and I have been playing "Who will be the last of the 9 standing?" and it's not gonna be us!

..., we find they are attracting students from outside their attendance zones, modestly overcoming residential segregation.

Grateful for this coverage of recent early childhood research from Center for Education and Civil Rights. With amazing recent grads Rohitha Edara & Karen Babbs Hollett.

As @dartmouthartsci.bsky.social alum, very glad to see this. Many of the things this compact seeks to change would have lessened my college experience. Important moment for higher Ed.

Congrats to @lexapot.bsky.social & the incredible providers she works with to stabilize ECE providers and to work towards funding full cost of care for CA’s youngest. This will support kids, families and providers.

So disappointed by this decision to wind down our local NPR station due to fed & univ cuts. I joined several NPR programs over my years here to talk about my research.

I’m also frustrated for our community & as a parent who has a kid who adores listening to/ learning from NPR when he’s in the car.

Our new special issue is out on "The Rise of Education Marketization & the Enduring Enigma of School Segregation" with Ee-Seul Yoon, & great commentary from @efrankenberg.bsky.social journals.sfu.ca/ijepl/index....

Congrats to you & Ee-Seul for shepherding such a terrific issue! Highly recommend reading this entire set of articles.

After Eight Years, a Kids Section Says Goodbye

I have two disappointed kids by this @nytimes decision. They were always very faithful adherents to the tagline not to let adults read the NYT kids section. It helped make my son a devoted newspaper reader.

Frey: I think the impetus has to be on all of us to recognize that we've got more guns in this country than we have people, and it's on all of us to recognize the truth and the reality that we can't just say that this shouldn't happen again, and then allow it to happen again and again
