| The "What happened in your state last week?" Megathread, Week 21 Posted: 22 May 2018 08:39 AM PDT Hi there, /r/politics. Due to other personal engagements I was unable to post this thread yesterday. My apologies for the inconvenience. Next week this thread will be on Monday again. Welcome to the 'What happened in your state last week' thread, where you can post any local political news stories that you find important in the comments. This is a weekly thread posted every Monday, in order to facilitate more discussion on local issues on /r/politics. Since this is intended to be a thread about local politics, top-level comments that are exclusively about national issues will not be allowed. When commenting, please include the state you're living in, and don't forget to link sources. Also, please actually describe what happened. "I live in X, you know what happened" isn't helpful to users and will be removed. If someone from your state made a news round-up that you think is insufficient, feel free to comment to that round-up with further news stories. Enjoy discussion, and review our civility guidelines before engaging with others. [link] [comments]  | ||
| Posted: 22 May 2018 10:10 AM PDT Hi everyone, I'm Matt Barnum! I'm a national education reporter for the nonprofit news organization Chalkbeat, which works in seven different communities including New York, Detroit, Indianapolis, and Memphis. Part of my job is to unpack education research and policy for both local and national audiences. Some of my most popular pieces include a look at the data behind the recent push to raise teacher pay, why a recent graph shared by Betsy DeVos about school spending was misleading, and how race and racism shape educational outcomes. You can stay up-to-date with all the latest education news with Chalkbeat's weekly e-newsletter that I co-author. I look forward to answering all of your questions today.
