Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 04:20:57 GMT

As unprecedented pandemic-era spikes in absenteeism linger in schools around the state, Education Department officials are looking to redirect district accountability measures, pour in funds and move the issue to the front of the line.“I am considering proposing increasing the weight of chronic absenteeism in the district and school accountability system to highlight the importance and urgency of the issue,” said Education Commissioner Jeffrey Riley at Tuesday’s Board of Elementary and Secondary Education meeting. “At the same time, we believe in kind of reciprocal accountability. And we want to make sure that we put out grants and offer the technical assistance — like webinars and other things — to support our districts as they better engage our families.“This is not about ‘gotcha’ or blame in any way, shape or form,” Riley continued. “This is about an educational community, focusing on an issue that is germane to al...

Or rather, it was a look I’m guessing he reserves for those times when someone thinks of him as a conduit for getting a band’s demo into Wilco’s hands. Wary — that’s the word I’m thinking of. He is good at his job, and I know because he appeared deeply exhausted by me and my idea. I had a high concept for my conversation with Tweedy, I explained, and that’s why I’m carrying my record collection in a plastic crate from Target.He shrugged. My funeral.“‘High concept,’” Tweedy said, suddenly at my side, staring at the record bin.We walked down into the concrete bunker of a green room beneath the Athenaeum Center, a few hours before Tweedy began a short tour for his new book, “World Within a Song: Music That Changed My Life and Life That Changed My Music.” The book is a funny, generous installment of a pretty smart trend in music autobiographies: Rather ...
