The Oregonian reports on this new school that is mainly going to be outdoors.

reports that University of Iowa would rename its College of Public Health after Wellmark Blue Cross and Blue Shield’s foundation for a 15 million dollar gift.

Medical research is import, but this to me is a complete no-no. College buildings should be named after people not companies. We have college sports arenas named after companies too and I do not like it as well.

to the University of California, Davis from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation is going to create a brand new nursing school. The foundation wants to get more students graduated with at least a four year degree.

but schools in the state have 10 years in order to implement it.

IMO the state should work with all the school districts to get this implemented in just 2-3 years.

reports that charter schools in the New Orleans area are leading the way on LEAP scores.

reports that the Cobb County School District is only 90 teachers short this year. They were 250 off last year at this same time.
