Closures MichiganStudents walk outside Pershing High School, Friday, Jan. 20, 2017, in Detroit.

Fitzgerald, left, speaking in Madison, Wis., said he and Gov. Scott Walker, center, and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, right, have agreed to pull language altering the state's open records law from the state budget _ a move that follows a loud bipartisan outcry. Walker, not used to getting so much gruff on the budget from his own party, had hoped a boosted Republican majority in his state’s Legislature would lead to the quick and smooth passage of a budget, a perfect kickoff to his all-but-announced campaign for president.

School Board Debates Staff ReductionsLOS ANGELES, CA - MARCH 10: Teachers who illegally occupied the Los Angeles Unified School District Board Room after the Board of Education left for an undisclosed location to hold a vote on whether to issue thousands of layoff notices to teachers and other school employees rally March 10, 2009 in Los Angeles, California. The teachers had intended to be arrested for acts of civil disobedience but were not and went on to rally outside for their cause. The board authorized layoffs in a 4-2 vote if other options are not found to decrease a budget shortfall. The school district is facing a $718 million budget deficit for the coming year. Notices of potential layoffs would reportedly be sent to 8,846 school employees, including 3,477 non-permanent elementary and secondary teachers, 1,996 permanent elementary teachers, 498 counselors and advisers, and 2,875 administrators and supervisors.

The kids then went to their own computers for online learning. The school is one of the first in the District public school system to move toward blended learning in which students spend part of the day learning with teachers and the other half learning online. Ketcham is one of 10 DCPS schools who saw significant improvements in their test scores. They plan to expand the model to four more schools this year.

Early Childhood Center works on creative ways of incorporating gender and sexual diversity in their classrooms in Boulder, Colorado.BOULDER, CO - MARCH 30: Preschool teacher Fernanda Perez Chaves, {cq}, left, plays a memory game called "I Never Forget a Face", with faces from all over the world, with students, from left to right, Elijah Hernandez, 4, Juliette Martinez, 5, in pink, Cohen Rose, right, during class at the Mapleton Early Childhood Center on March 30, 2016 in Boulder, Colorado. Preschools are looking at creative ways to incorporate gender and sexual diversity in their schools. At the Mapleton Center teachers post pictures of children's families on walls, allow kids to bring framed photos of their family into class and read diverse books to them. The family photos not only make children feel more comfortable in class but also help to show their classmates the diversity in each family. (Photo by Helen H.

to School Parent PortalsFILE - In this Jan. 7, 2015 file photo, public school buses are parked in Springfield, Ill. Once upon a time, finding out how your child was doing in school could require weeks of patience. You waited for the parent-teacher conference, for a return phone call from school if you were concerned and, eventually, for a report card to land in the mailbox. Now, a growing number of families can get instant access to grades and other school information through online parent portals.
