Hi, I’m Lori Higgins for Chalkbeat Detroit, here with your morning roundup of education news.

There are a lot of key issues in the Nov. 3 Detroit school board election One of them is what DPSCD will prioritize once the $94.4 million the district received from the state to settle the right to read literacy lawsuit is gone. The money will be depleted by the end of the school year. We asked candidates to tell us what they would prioritize. We got an earful. Check out this mini voter guide to hear directly from the candidates.

Local education coverage is disappearing. Chalkbeat helps families and educators understand what’s changing. We can’t do it without you.

Every student brings to the classroom different background knowledge and learning needs. Modern research suggests that multimodal instruction — combining modalities and learning experiences to support access and understanding — can reduce learning barriers, especially for students with disabilities and language-learning needs.

Join us for a conversation focused on what the research shows about how students engage with, interpret, and communicate understanding across different formats and walk away with a practical framework for building multimodal instruction into everyday teaching.
