    California allocates dedicated funding to identify homeless students

    California allocated $116 million over three years to help schools identify and support students experiencing homelessness, marking the first dedicated state funding for this purpose. Advocates note the funding addresses a gap in identifying homeless students, though they caution it is insufficient for long-term solutions. State data estimates 300,000 homeless students in 2024-25, but advocates say this number is likely undercounted.

    State takeovers of local school districts impact more than grades and finances

    Missouri joins multiple states in using an A-F grading system to evaluate schools, with state takeovers based on metrics like test scores and graduation rates. The policy ignores health factors impacting students and communities, disproportionately affecting Black and low-income districts. State takeovers in St. Louis area districts with majority-Black populations are described as traumatic, raising concerns about racial equity and health outcomes.
