OPINION: Our education system continues to under-deliver civic education for the very students most committed to improving their communities and our democracy
Black youth are frequently among the most civically engaged young people in the country, yet they are too often absent from conversations about civic excellence and receive too little civic education.
From gangs to college
High school staff often treat students they suspect of gang involvement differently, tracking them into classes that leave them unprepared to matriculate and counseling them out of applying to four-year colleges, research shows. One federal program worked to change how gang-involved adolescents view college and are supported through it.
OPINION: We have to work together to improve school culture and make our public schools great places to teach, work and learn
The persistent chaos and confusion and rigid policies in our schools choke the joy out of learning and breed an education culture defined by fear and distrust, turf wars and a widely acknowledged resistance to change. To fix our schools, we must improve school culture.

OPINION: Trusted reporting is needed more than ever, so let’s have school newspapers pave the way for the next generation

A South Dakota museum takes students on flights to the stars, but future trips are in question because of cuts from the Trump administration cuts
The Institute for Museum and Library Services was established in 1996 and is the largest source of federal funding for museums and libraries like the South Dakota Discovery Center in Pierre. The Trump administration wants to cut IMLS because officials say it provides money to diversity, equity and inclusion efforts, but cutting the program could imperil small libraries and museums.
OPINION: Educators have the tools but not the training or ethical framework to use AI in education wisely. And that’s a problem
The use of AI in education has risks, but it could help personalize learning and free teachers to spend more time doing what only humans can do: connect, mentor, care. Let’s ensure we get this right — by aligning educators and tech experts around what matters most: student outcomes.
