In Ohio Pushback Grows Against Holding Kids Back Based on a Single Reading Test / Public News Service

After Ohio's State Board of Education passed a resolution urging the General Assembly to eliminate the requirement for third-grade students who have not met required scores on a standardized reading test to be held back, teachers across the state continue to push for changes. Karen Carney, a fourth grade teacher in Campbell, said the current one-size-fits all model does not account for children already behind by the time they have reached third grade, especially students with poor attendance, or who have learning disabilities like dyslexia not caught early-on.

Work Rules Tighten for Students on CalFresh

The pandemic-era exemptions allowing many students access to CalFresh food benefits without having to work 20 hours a week expired in June, leaving many students in the lurch. CalFresh benefits range from $23 to $281 a month for a one-person household, and data showed 127,000 students were enrolled before the pandemic. Carrie Welton, senior director of policy and advocacy at the Institute for College Access and Success, said the work requirements discourage CalFresh recipients from enrolling and make it much harder for low-income students to devote themselves to their studies. ...
