Hi, I’m Lori Higgins for Chalkbeat Detroit, here with your morning roundup of education news.
Lily Altavena, Chalkbeat’s national reporter, has an interesting story about motivational signs in a Macomb County school district. In Romeo Community Schools, the district has approved 32 motivational signs that are acceptable for teachers to display in their classrooms. Some teachers and parents in the district are raising concerns that the list grew out of efforts by the school board to root out signs and symbols associated with LGBTQ pride. You can read more here.
Also, don’t forget that we want to hear from you about what education issues are important in Michigan’s gubernatorial contest. Take our survey here.
Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.
