This Day in Maine for Monday, December 8, 2025.
The Northfield School Board meets tonight for its Truth in Taxation meeting. KYMN's Logan Wells explains how school financing works and what makes tonight's meeting unique from the City Government.
On Thursday, November 20, the Oregon Department of Education released At-A-Glance School and District Profiles for the 2024-25 school year. The Profiles are designed to provide a consistent set of school and district level information to local communities. They contain previously released assessment data for last school year, previously released graduation data for the class of 2024, and some new data for the 2024-25 school year. Because the state uses consistent sources of data and calculation methods for all schools and districts, its reports are useful for comparison purposes - both between schools and districts and within individual entities on a year-over-year basis. However, data on statewide standardized assessment results in English Language Arts and Mathematics tell a bit of a misleading story of our students' knowledge and skills. A number of students opt out of these tests, and because they are not used for placement, grade promotion, or for any other success measure in school, we have seen students and families place far less importance on them in recent years. For this reason, we have identified other measures for determining students' growth and learning on a rolling basis and are using that data to track progress toward our Strategic Plan goals. For example, we are using HSD-administered assessments called Running Records to measure proficiency in English and/or Spanish reading. You can find the District's and each school's At-A-Glance Profile in the Accountability section of our website. Additional information can be found in ODE's press release and on their At-A-Glance Profiles and Accountability Details webpage. Our featured event is the fall Career and College Pathways Steering Committee meeting that was held on Thursday, November 20, at Hilhi. This amazing group of industry partners, educators, and community leaders plays a key role in helping us create clear and exciting pathway opportunities for every HSD student. Superintendent Travis Reiman kicked off the morning by sharing the latest district data and indicators tied to student success and postsecondary readiness. Melissa Pendergrass, Coordinator of Career and College Pathways, framed the day by emphasizing the value of authentic partnerships and high-quality work-based learning. She spoke about how real world experiences not only benefit students but also create a powerful return on investment for local employers who are building their future workforce. Participants then jumped into a lineup of interactive workshops that explored everything from supervising youth at worksites to designing meaningful hands-on experiences, understanding the long term benefits of investing in youth career development, and more. Conversations were lively, solutions oriented, and full of ideas that will directly support students. HSD extends a huge thank you to everyone who joined us. Your partnership helps ensure that students discover their interests, build real skills, and feel excited about their futures. We look forward to continuing this work together throughout the year.Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session.

A group of Texas families filed a class action lawsuit Tuesday to stop all Texas school districts from displaying the Ten Commandments in classrooms. The new state law requiring the classroom displays has faced multiple legal challenges, with two federal judges finding it unconstitutional and blocking 25 school districts across the state from implementing it. In other news, Austin authorities said Tuesday that an ongoing investigation into the weekend falling death of Texas A&M student Brianna Aguilera continues to suggest the 19-year-old did not die by homicide, but also cautioned they have not reached any conclusions; attorneys for a North Texas woman who was shown in a video screaming through contractions while hospital staff appeared to slow-roll her admission are requesting a meeting with the facility to discuss what happened and the possibility of financial compensation; a Dallas Morning News analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau found more North Texas adults with college degrees live in poverty today compared to a decade ago. That mirrors a trend across major metropolitan areas in the state and country. Since 2014, the number of North Texans with college degrees has increased by more than 50%; nd on a new list of the 50 best steakhouses in North America, two Dallas restaurants were recognized. The list, compiled by Robb Report, ranked Al Biernat's at 43rd and Nuri Steakhouse at 39th. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
This episode examines how Wichita Public Schools is preparing its educators for the rapidly evolving age of generative AI through deliberate policy development and clear instructional guidelines. Guest Katelyn Schoenhofer, the district's AI Specialist, explains how the organization built a positive culture around AI use by establishing legal policy, creating practical guidance for instructors, and helping staff view generative AI as a responsible and effective tool. She also discusses why educators should focus on the learning process behind student work—rather than solely the final product—when integrating AI into instruction. As part one of a two-episode series, this discussion sets the stage for the next episode focused on classroom-level use.“This podcast is for informational purposes only.

On Wednesday, November 19, Oregon's Legislative Revenue Office released the state's December Economic and Revenue Forecast. The good news is that Net General Fund and Lottery resources are up $318.8 million from the September Forecast. The bad news is that they are still down $635.9 million since the Close of Session Forecast in June of this year. While the news is about as good as K-12 advocates could have hoped for, it is still important to be vigilant and make a clear and convincing case to center the growing needs of students and protect all K-12 programs from cuts or reductions in the 2025-27 budget. There will be many other programs facing cuts, particularly in the Human Services sector, due to the passage of federal legislation - most notably Medicaid and SNAP - that the state will have to consider when weighing how to balance budgets, if and when to tap into reserve funds, etc. It is also worth noting that the Legislature is forecasting other potential costs that have not been budgeted for like wildfire mitigation costs, HR 1 state implementation costs, keeping an ending balance for the state general fund, etc. And while there is one more Forecast that will be released on February 4, 2026, to inform Legislators during their short session, K-12 schools need to be prepared for the possibility of mid-year and/or mid-biennium reductions. Our featured students are from Orenco Elementary School's Life Skills program. They were able to participate in Outdoor School this fall, thanks to the extra efforts of NW Regional Education Service District and Orenco staff. Each Outdoor School location typically has one all-terrain wheelchair, but more were necessary to allow all students who needed them to have access. So, ESD staff borrowed wheelchairs from other locations to make it possible. Many thanks to everyone who worked hard to make this beloved rite-of-passage tradition accessible to students experiencing disability!Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session.

It's Thanksgiving week, which means it's time for our annual ‘weather issue' of Hot News! This is where we like to remind families about how we make inclement weather decisions and how those decisions are communicated. Our district is very large - spanning 204 miles - and within our boundaries are elevations ranging from 140 feet to more than 1500 feet! That means the weather conditions can vary greatly from one area to another. Our goal is always to ensure the safety of all of our students and staff - whether they are among our 10,000+ bus riders, student drivers, walkers, bike riders, or those transported by parents. And when we make an inclement weather decision it applies to all schools. Learn more about the decision-making process and how we will communicate with you on our website at hsd.k12.or.us/weather. Stay warm!Our feature this week is our Community Transition Services program. CTS is a post-high school program housed at the Peter Boscow building that supports students with disabilities who have been part of a life skills class and are 18 to 21 years old. Students are divided into four groups and work with staff to become as independent as possible. They learn about jobs and build skills for future employment opportunities. According to staff member Pam McCann, “It is always exciting to see some of our former students still working in positions they got while finishing up at the Transition program or once they graduated. They are maintaining permanent paid employment and contributing as members of the community using the skills they learned here.” Hot News is produced and emailed to HSD families and staff each week school is in session.
