Worcester School Committee stands by decision to extend remote learning, will respond to letter from state education officials

[email protected]_84 December 4, 2020

Members of the Worcester School Committee on Thursday night stood by a decision to extend remote learning during the pandemic, as the district administration works to respond to a request for more information from Massachusetts education officials.

Superintendent Maureen Binienda told committee members during Thursday’s meeting that the district received a letter from the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education seeking more information about when students are expected to return to classrooms. Other districts that are using online learning models also got a letter, Binienda said.

Last month, the committee voted to push back the start of a hybrid learning model as updates to school HVAC systems were ongoing. Members had vowed to not bring back students until buildings are safe, and also noted rising coronavirus rates in the community, which continue to increase. Students with the highest level of needs are slated to return to school buildings on Jan.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey’s grants for school districts less than promised

Grants promised by Gov. Doug Ducey meant to stabilize school budgets are coming in lower than expected for some districts and charter schools, possibly putting smaller school districts in a financial bind.

Arizona school districts last week started receiving $370 million in Enrollment Stability Grant allocations, which is funding from CARES Act money.

Ducey in June announced the grant program, which is meant to help schools make up budget losses tied to enrollment declines. The governor guaranteed that schools wouldn’t lose more than 2% of the funding amount they received last school year.

But the amounts some schools received do not match the 2% guarantee.

In the Bullhead City Unified School District, enrollment decline because of the pandemic has brought the budget down by 11%, according to a

Dr. William Bates, currently a professor at Meharry Medical College, has been appointed founding dean of Belmont University’s new College of Medicine, the university announced on Dec. 3, 2020.

Dr. William Bates, a professor at Meharry Medical College, will lead Belmont University’s new college of medicine as the school’s founding dean, the university announced Thursday.

Belmont announced in October its plans to establish a medical school in partnership with HCA Healthcare, one of the largest hospital chains in the country and a long-time partner of the university.

The first step toward opening the school was selecting someone to lead it, Belmont University President Bob Fisher said at the time.

University of Houston Charter School may be closing for good

The University of Houston Charter School may soon be closing its doors for good.

University of Houston Charter school likely to close

In an email sent to parents, the school’s principal said a resolution to close will be presented to the board of regents on Thursday afternoon during their meeting.

“I think a lot of parents are lost,” said Sara Martinez, a mom of two of the school’s students. “They don’t know what the next step is. HISD has its own failure to students at the moment.”

Martinez’s 7-year-old son, Nicolas, and 9-year-old daughter, Nadia, have been attending the charter school since they were three months old.

“There is a children’s learning center that is a day care/pre-school and they have been there since they were babies,” she said.

Meanwhile, parents like Veronica Bagley are hoping the close won’t happen.

Here’s a new, rather remarkable story about charter school grants recently awarded by the Education Department — including one for more than $1 million that went to a soccer club in Pennsylvania that had no experience running a school.

Competition that increases depth has been crucial for third-seeded University in Division II | High School Sports

[email protected]_84 December 3, 2020

No one questions the importance of competition in an LHSAA football playoff game. However, University High coach Andy Martin says competition within his own team is just as important.

Case in point? The return of the Cubs’ top rusher Derrick Graham to the lineup last week and what transpired before that.

Graham ran for 73 yards and 2 touchdowns in a 55-12 win over Evangel Christian to open the Division II select playoffs. Third-seeded U-High (7-1) hosts No. 6 Vandebilt Catholic (6-1) for a quarterfinal game set for 7 p.m. Friday.

If you did not notice Graham missed a few games with bruised chest/collar bone, including a District 7-3A showdown with Madison Prep, you are not alone. Brian Beck rushed for 339 yards and 3 TDs and now is the complement to Graham, who has 367 rushing yards and 8 TDs.

After the deaths of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Elijah McClain and other individuals killed by police officers in 2020 — along with the protests that followed — the national conversation surrounding police brutality and the role of law enforcement has come to a head.
