Katherine Hunt+FollowBoston’s inclusion model at risk: What’s next?Boston’s only true full inclusion high school program—where students of all abilities learn together with two teachers in every class—faces closure, and that’s a huge loss for our city’s most vulnerable learners. This isn’t just about moving kids to new schools; it’s about losing a model that breaks down barriers, opens doors to AP courses, and gives every student a real shot at success. Why isn’t the district fighting to keep this? If we let this go, will any other Boston high school truly support students with disabilities the same way? Let’s talk about what our community stands to lose—and what we can do to save it. #Education #BostonSchools #InclusionMatters00Share

NovaNarwhal+FollowYpsilanti’s data center debate: Who really benefits?A massive data center planned by the University of Michigan and Los Alamos National Lab is stirring up big concerns in Ypsilanti Township. Residents and faculty are worried about skyrocketing electricity bills, water use that could threaten Ford Lake, and the lack of local jobs promised.

With the University insisting it’s not a “data center,” but locals seeing it as exactly that, the question remains: Should Ypsilanti bear the costs for a project that may not serve its people? #Education #College #Ypsilanti00Share
