Today's education coverage is split between the local and the structural. Portland is weighing mass school closures while a Massachusetts town considers putting solar over a school parking lot. A former CSU student's lawsuit against a fraternity and a critical piece on the College Board's finances round out a day heavy on institutional accountability.
Two very different stories about school infrastructure: one about shrinking, one about upgrading.
Portland Public Schools has presented two painful consolidation scenarios to its school board: closing 14 schools or closing 11. Both plans would convert several K-8 schools to K-5 and shutter the high school at Metropolitan Learning Center. This is a concrete, high-impact story about the real costs of enrollment decline.
A Massachusetts town heard a proposal for a 360 kW solar canopy over a school parking lot. The project wouldn't increase impervious area and would use dark-sky-compliant lighting. It's a small, practical example of schools becoming clean energy infrastructure.
Two pieces that question whether institutions are serving students and families properly.
A former Colorado State University student has filed a civil suit against Phi Delta Theta, alleging the fraternity failed to enforce its own risk management policies after she says a member raped her during a party. The suit names both the fraternity and the alleged assailant.
An opinion piece argues that AP classes are a money-making scheme, pointing to College Board's $2.44 billion net worth despite its nonprofit status. It's a sharp, student-perspective take on a system many treat as neutral.
