You can’t improve education unless you know what’s happening in education now. The main source of that information in the US is NCES. The commissioner was just put on leave.

It's been 100 days. Helene will be the most damaging inland flooding in US history. We had many distractions since, but the wound is still open. Your help, your taxes, your love, all helped this region cope. But there's a long way to go. Please consider the southern Appalachians. Thank you. 1/n

As we look back on 2024 weather events, at the top of the list is Hurricane Helene. But this storm was so much more than a hurricane. Meteorologist Alex Wilson shows us why.
