Good morning.
Senior Reporter Ann Schimke reports the school board in School District 49 unanimously approved the dissolution of ERBOCES. The move comes after growing scrutiny by state education officials.
Also, I have a story about a national report that calls for states, including Colorado, to implement policies that authors say would help help dual-enrolled high school students.
Also, we’re running a back-to-school membership campaign to invite readers who value Chalkbeat’s reporting. If our journalism helps you understand what’s happening in schools and why it matters, consider becoming a member today so our reporters can do this work all year long. Support Chalkbeat.
Thank you for reading. If you have a comment, question, or tip, reach us at [email protected].
A new school year needs strong local reporting. Help Chalkbeat’s reporters keep asking the questions that matter.
