Over a dozen in the metro area alone. A debrief on what lies ahead from Vineeta and Scott Croonquist from the Association of Metropolitan School Districts, on The WCCO Morning News.

In November, we celebrate Native American Heritage Month, recognizing the tremendous beauty, resilience, and positive impact of Native American, Alaska Native, and Indigenous cultures. This commitment extends beyond celebration. It is also a moment to confront the historical injustices and ongoing struggles for recognition, equality, and peace that Native communities face.To build a truly inclusive community, we believe that visibility saves lives. Increasing the visibility of Native American, Alaska Native, and Indigenous students and staff is an essential first step in fostering strong, lasting relationships within our district. This month, we renew our commitment to highlighting the rich and diverse cultures of these communities.More importantly, we pledge to ensure that this recognition is not confined to November. Our educators have access to comprehensive lessons and resources designed to seamlessly integrate and elevate Native American, Alaska Native, and Indigenous histories, cultures, and contemporary contributions throughout the entire school year. We encourage every member of our district to seek out opportunities to learn, listen, and honor the Indigenous people who enrich our community.Please mark your calendars for our Native American/Alaska Native Heritage Month Celebration from 5:30 to 7 p.m. on Thursday, November 6, at Orenco Elementary School. The event is free and open to all HSD students and families and will feature delicious food, drumming, and storytelling. For additional information and more upcoming events, please visit our website.Our featured event took place at Butternut Creek Elementary School. On Thursday, October 23, Butternut students joined others from around the state participating in “Oregon Crunch-at-Once” to celebrate National Farm-to-School Month. Crunch-at-Once encourages students to bite into locally grown apples, carrots, or other crunchy produce at the same time to make a powerful statement about the importance of local food and agriculture education in our schools. Butternut Creek's garden steward, Reeba Daniel, and the rest of the parent club signed up the school to participate, and Principal Bethune worked with Nutrition Services to secure local apples for the event. In an interesting twist, they were able to source the apples from Bell Orchards off of Farmington - the owners of which lived three doors down from Butternut Creek for 35 years and sent all six of their children to elementary school there!Daylight Saving Time begins on Sunday, November 2, at 2 a.m. Remember to set your clocks back one hour before going to bed Saturday night.

October 20 through 26, 2025, is America's Safe Schools Week — a time to recognize the ongoing commitment of our students, staff, and community partners to maintaining safe, supportive learning environments across the Hillsboro School District.The foundation for our physical safety efforts was built through the 2017 Bond, which invested approximately $21.6 million in critical security infrastructure districtwide. That investment established consistent levels of protection across all campuses through secure entry vestibules, upgraded fencing, window security film, and the district's integrated “security trio” of access control, intrusion detection, and video surveillance systems. Today, HSD continues to evolve its approach to school safety by continuously reassessing systems, training, and partnerships to stay ahead of emerging challenges. Our focus is on being proactive rather than reactive — strengthening collaboration with public safety agencies, enhancing staff preparedness, and ensuring that physical and behavioral safety measures work hand-in-hand to support a secure learning environment.Together, these layers of prevention, preparedness, and response help ensure that every HSD school remains a place where students and staff feel safe, valued, and ready to learn.Learn more about HSD's comprehensive approach to safety at hsd.k12.or.us/keepingstudentssafe and hsd.k12.or.us/safeandwelcoming. Our featured student is Poynter Middle School 8th grader Andy Alonso Garcia!

(The Center Square) — A half-dozen school districts in New York state reported spending more than $70,000 per student recently, with two districts spending almost or more than $100,000, an investigation by The Center Square found. Each of the six districts were among the smallest in the state, with fewer than 340 students. Still, the figures dwarfed those of a typical pre-kindergarten through 12th grade school district in the Empire State in 2023-'24. According to the New York State Department of Education, the median figure for per-pupil spending was $35,095. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/new_york/article_dad44cd9-fcf1-4d7d-98e7-c35023849811.html Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Four Kansas school districts say they haven't received any complaints about their gender identity policies. But the federal government is investigating them anyway — and it has threatened to withhold federal funding from them.

As the digital landscape continues to expand and AI becomes more pervasive, the importance of fostering safe, responsible, and ethical online behavior is more important than ever. In light of this, schools across the nation are actively participating in Digital Citizenship Week, which takes place from October 20-24, 2025. The nonprofit organization Common Sense Media draws upon the following to define and develop age-appropriate digital citizenship resources for students, families, and educators: media balance, anti-cyberbullying, data privacy, digital footprints, media literacy, social-emotional learning, civic education, and communication and collaboration skills. Check out their site for an abundance of free articles, lessons, activities, and more. A service HSD has offered families since the 2024-25 school year is a weekly report summarizing their student's internet use on personal or district-owned Chromebooks when logged in using their HSD credentials. There is also enhanced functionality available - such as the ability to see detailed browsing history and pause internet access outside of school hours - when families sign up for a free account on Blocksi. Visit our website to read Blocksi's explanation and apology for the multiple emails families may have received in mid-September due to a technical glitch in their system, and consider creating your account. We believe this is an appropriate step to keep our students safe and focused on learning while using district technology and credentials. Another resource you may not have heard of is offered by the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children: Take it Down. This free and confidential service can help remove or stop the online sharing of explicit images or videos of a person when they were under 18. Taking a moment to think before you post, click, send, or share something is so important as we consider the broad reach and long life of digital artifacts. Let's all commit to being informed, ethical, and empathetic online citizens!Our featured event is our Hispanic Heritage Month celebration. More than 275 students, staff, families, and community members gathered in celebration of Hispanic Heritage Month on Thursday, October 2, at South Meadows Middle School. The event featured ballet folklórico performances by students from Farmington View Elementary School and Glencoe High School, a presentation by the Hillsboro Hops, items for sale by local Hispanic-identifying vendors, food, activities, and more. The evening ended with attendees learning to dance the Cumbia. It was a truly uplifting and inspiring commemoration of this rich and varied culture!

Since its launch this summer, we have received feedback that our new communications platform, ParentSquare, is a bit overwhelming with multiple notifications coming in from various sources. There also may be some confusion about what comes through ParentSquare versus what comes through ParentVue. Generally speaking, you should expect to receive information specific to your student through ParentVUE - grades, homework, attendance, etc. Information that's applicable to multiple students - in a special group, classroom, school, or the district as a whole - will come through ParentSquare.ParentSquare has the ability to send messages via text, push notification through the ParentSquare mobile app, email, and phone calls. The good news is that you can decide how and with what frequency you want to receive all non-urgent communications. By logging into ParentSquare.com and clicking on your name at the top right-hand side of the screen, you can manage your notification settings and narrow down to just one method if you like. You can also choose to receive just one daily digest of all messages, rather than receiving each of them individually. Please refer to the instruction sheet on our website for more details.

On this special episode of the Restorative Works! Podcast, host Claire de Mézerville López welcomes three leaders transforming school culture in Worcester County, Maryland: Dr. Jenifer Rayne, Principal of Pocomoke High School; Carlton Cartwright, Community School Liaison and Restorative Practices Coach; and Lauren Williams, Coordinator of School Health and Mental Health. Together, they share a decade-long journey of embedding restorative practices into daily school life—creating spaces where trust, connection, and accountability thrive.  From early district-wide training sessions to the creation of “Restorative Practice Champions,” Worcester County Public Schools has built a living, evolving framework for fostering belonging. The team explains how conscious discipline, culturally responsive teaching, and adult-first self-regulation are equipping both educators and students with the skills to repair harm, navigate conflict, and sustain healthy relationships.  Jenifer Rayne is entering her eighth year as Principal of Pocomoke High School in Worcester County, Maryland. A dedicated and visionary educator, Dr. Rayne has led this small, diverse high school to national recognition, earning distinctions such as National School of Character, Gold School of Opportunity, and Apple Distinguished School under her leadership. Dr. Rayne holds a bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Stevenson University, a K–12 Special Education certification from the College of Notre Dame of Maryland, a master's degree in School Administration from Wilmington University, and a Doctor of Education in Supervisory Leadership from the University of Maryland Eastern Shore.  Carlton Cartwright is a restorative leader and educator with over 26 years of experience supporting student success, access, and belonging on Maryland's Eastern Shore. In his current role he leads initiatives that embed restorative practices frameworks into daily practice and strengthen school-community partnerships. Having received training from the IIRP, Carlton facilitates professional learning and student support systems across Worcester County Public Schools. He believes transformation happens when we lead with rather than to others—building trust, connection, and shared responsibility. His leadership extends beyond the classroom through service in his church, mentoring, and community engagement.  Lauren Williams is a seasoned educational leader and licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience advancing student mental health, family engagement, and restorative practices. As the Coordinator of School Health and Mental Health for Worcester County Public Schools, she leads district-wide initiatives that prioritize student well-being, inclusive leadership, and trauma-informed care. Her leadership philosophy is rooted in principle-centered values, collaboration, and the belief that lasting change happens with people, not to them. Currently pursuing her doctorate in Educational Leadership at the University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Lauren is a driving force behind restorative implementation, behavior reform, adult-first self-regulation practices, and community school transformation in Worcester County.  Tune in to hear practical strategies—like revising the district's code of conduct to reflect community-building values, integrating goals aligned with restorative practices into school improvement plans, and partnering with law enforcement for shared training.

What happens when a district actually builds career pathways students can feel? In this episode, Peter Hostrawser and Alli Dahl sit down with Jeff Stenroos (Director of Secondary Ed, School District of Beloit, WI) to unpack a builder's blueprint: Ford NGL-aligned academies, freshman seminar + mock interviews, tight industry partnerships, and a K–12 pipeline that makes work-based learning real.Jeff shares how Beloit:- collapsed 45+ pathways into 14 focused, credentialed pathways- shifted to academy teams (collocation) and an A/B block to protect teacher collaboration- scaled “Craftsman with Character” into youth apprenticeships with local manufacturers- landed a $100K robotic welding grant to stack student certifications- funds field experiences so teachers and students see industry up close- bakes in mock interviews (10th), college/career exposure, and portfolio milestonesIf you're a district leader, CTE/WBL coordinator, or community partner wondering how to move from posters-on-the-wall to systems that stick, this is your playbook.

Thinking of running for school board? In this episode of Women of Color Rise, I speak with Judith Cruz, Former Board President, Houston Independent School District. Judith has over twenty-five years of experience as an educator, non-profit leader, and volunteer in public schools.   Judith shares her path to school board leadership—and what it really takes to serve well. Know your why – Serving on a school board is a powerful way to create change, but it's not easy. It's unpaid, political, and full of competing priorities. Judith reminds us that while advancing student outcomes is essential, sometimes the most urgent fight is preventing students from falling further behind. Be ready to work across differences – Even among seemingly aligned colleagues, interpersonal dynamics and politics can derail progress. Judith shares how she built trust and found common ground—internally within the board and externally with the broader community. Don't compromise your values – The toughest moments came when Judith had to vote against the wishes of those who helped her get elected. Her advice: stay grounded in your values and make decisions based on what's best for all kids—not just the loudest voices. Go grassroots or go home – To win her campaign, Judith knocked on 3,500 doors in six months, seven days a week. Her message: people matter. Conversations matter. That's how trust—and leadership—is built. Do your homework – Before running, Judith suggests attending civic and board meetings, asking questions, and learning how the system really works. Because once you're in, the work is real—and it's relentless.   Thank you, Judith, for sharing your inspirational and powerful journey.   Get full show notes and more information here: https://analizawolf.com/episode-111-run-for-your-school-board-with-judith-cruz
