Pittsburgh Public School officials on Tuesday got their first look at several different scenarios that could drastically change the district’s footprint in coming years. The scenarios, presented by Massachusetts-based education consulting firm Education Resource Strategies during the district’s education committee meeting, are the next steps in Pittsburgh Public’s facilities utilization plan, a blueprint that could lead to the closure and consolidation of some school buildings as PPS faces declining enrollments and a growing budget deficit. Under the proposal, 16 existing schools would close, 14 would change their grade reconfiguration, six magnet schools would phase out and become neighborhood schools and five new programs would open in existing buildings

The latest analysis on Michigan’s teacher shortage sheds light on a troubling reality: the growing gap in opportunities for our most underserved students. This isn’t just an education issue, it’s a community issue, an equity issue, and a future-shaping challenge we must address together. The shortage impacts students in ways that extend far beyond the classroom walls. When schools struggle to recruit and retain qualified educators, it creates ripple effects on academic achievement, mental health support, and access to enriching programs. And the burden disproportionately falls on the shoulders of students who are already facing systemic inequities. But here’s the silver lining: awareness is the first step toward action. As education professionals, parents, policymakers, and community members, we have the opportunity and the responsibility, to advocate for systemic solutions. Whether it’s increasing teacher pay, improving professional development, or fostering inclusive environments where educators feel supported, every step matters. Let’s work together to ensure every child in Michigan, regardless of their zip code, has access to a high-quality education and the opportunities they deserve. What are some strategies you believe could help address the teacher shortage? Let’s spark a conversation and share ideas to inspire change. #EducationMatters #EquityInEducation #TeacherShortage #MichiganSchools #AdvocacyForChange

Louisiana has adopted a wide-ranging set of policies to help eliminate classroom distractions for teachers. Based on recommendations from Dr. Brumley's Let Teachers Teach workgroup, the changes include: ? Decoupling student behavior and the school accountability system. ? Ensuring teachers have the right to have a student removed from the classroom immediately when their behavior prevents the orderly instruction of other students or poses a threat. ? Streamlining and reducing dozens of non-academic trainings and lessons teachers had been required by the state to repeat annually. ? Increasing professional autonomy for effective educators. https://ow.ly/kE2u50T3wRw

I think it’s inaccurate to surmise that urban schools are empty because of low birth rates, which in turn is the reason for parents to move elsewhere. It’s simply not the case. Parents do not move because of not having children. They move in search of better job opportunities. After the pandemic, inperson jobs fell precipitously. Remote jobs began to gain traction, and parents without the requisite skills began to feel the pain. They have been left with no alternative but to move, move along with their children. There is your problem — the absence of jobs! Lawmakers can stabilize this population by creating jobs, and by offering opportunities to retrain low skilled urban parents for the new digital economy. That’s what would keep them in their school districts, and their children in their schools. This is one way to curb the outflow of kids from urban school districts.
