Posted on by

Are you ready for your child’s first day of school?

Public school starts Aug. 16 in Broward and Aug. 17 in Miami-Dade.

Here’s what parents and students should know:

Will breakfast and lunch be free?

Breakfast is free for all students in Miami-Dade and Broward public schools. Miami-Dade’s public school district is also giving free lunch to all students again this year.

The district said it will rely on funding this year from a federal program called Community Eligibility Provision, which reimburses schools and school districts for meals in low-income areas. Last year, South Florida school districts relied on a now-expired USDA waiver to provide free lunch to students.

In Broward, some students, but not all, will get free lunch.

Broward’s public school district said it can provide free lunch to students at 167 schools through the funding it will get from the Community Eligibility Provision program. Broward Schools

Opinion | Here’s What School Covid Policies Should Look Like This Year

Posted on by

Millions of kids went “missing” from schools after the start of the coronavirus pandemic — totally unaccounted for. Reading and math scores plummeted. There has been a youth mental health crisis. There are inequities in Covid impacts and learning loss by race, ethnicity and family income. More than a million people in America have died from Covid-19, and more than 200,000 kids lost one or both parents. Predictions for endemic Covid in this country are 100,000 deaths per year.

All of this is staring us in the face as we enter the fourth school year of the Covid era. And it leaves us with a heavy question many schools are grappling with: Which Covid policies should schools use this fall?

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and individual states are about to answer this question, with guidance coming very soon. Here’s how I’m thinking about

Hanover County, Virginia, school district apologizes for logo resembling swastika

Posted on by

During the conference held for staff this week, Hanover County Public Schools distributed T-shirts and conference materials containing the logo, which the district says had been designed by one of its teachers.

The logo was intended “to represent four hands and arms grasping together — a symbol of unity for our all-county professional learning conference. Nothing more,” Michael Gill, superintendent of the district situated north of Richmond, said in an online message.

“We are deeply sorry for this mistake and for the emotions that the logo has evoked by its semblance to a swastika and, by extension, to the atrocities that were committed under its banner,” Gill said. “Unquestionably, we condemn anything associated with the Nazi regime in the strongest manner possible.”

Gill said the apology comes after concerns about the logo were raised, and that the district understands that the logo “has deeply upset members of our staff and

Posted on by

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

An alumni group at Rhodes College created a petition for the school to remove Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett from the school’s “Hall of Fame” because of her vote to overturn Roe v. Wade.

The petition was created by Rhodes College Alumni for Reproductive Rights and is being sent to the school’s president Jennifer Collins and Director of Community Standards Richard Adams.

According to the letter, the signatories’ “firm belief in the Rhodes Honor Code we all signed impels us to make this request.”

Posted on by

You’re telling me that Buck Showalter couldn’t get back into a major league dugout for three years because teams’ owners and new-age front office personnel thought the old school manager would demand too much authority?

Oh, my goodness gracious.

The culture shift in Queens has been as dramatic as the turnaround in the Mets’ record from 77-85 in 2021 to 69-39 (and counting) this year, following their 8-5, 6-2 doubleheader sweep of the Braves on Saturday that extended their division lead to 5 games … and with Jacob deGrom on tap Sunday for the finale of this five-game set, in which the home team has taken three of the first four.

Last year, fans and players were making thumbs-down gestures at one another. This year, there is mutual love flowing from the stands to the field and back again, with the Mets 30 games over .500 for the first time
