- Interesting coverage of a convening in Dayton last week in which education stakeholders got together to discuss ways to close the racial achievement gap and to end implicit racial and cultural bias in area schools. (Dayton Daily News, 3/3/17)
- In the first of two pieces on the end of the old-style Academic Distress Commission in Lorain, several stakeholders – including commission members – talk about what went right and what didn’t during the ADC term. (Northern Ohio Morning Journal, 3/4/17). The second part, published today, takes a similar sad tone, but pay attention to the comments of Dr. Zelei, former commission member AND former supe. Kind of sounds like he’s secretly OK with a CEO-style distress commission. Or maybe it’s just me. (Northern Ohio Morning Journal, 3/5/17)
