New Teaching Emphasis Urged for U S High Schools
The Carnegie Foundation urges restructuring high schools to remove tracking by category, require community service, and prioritize language over science and math. The 363 page report calls for less emphasis on STEM, a new Student Achievement and Advisement Test, higher teacher pay, more prep time, and expanded elective options. It argues for tracking elimination and a core curriculum with civic service to engage students beyond themselves.

Kansas Supreme Court on Wednesday denied rehearings in three Public Employer-Employee Relations Act cases arising from Pittsburg State University faculty disputes. The ruling requires Kansas Board of Regents to negotiate with faculty unions on eight wage and work condition items. The decision also upholds retroactive Legislature nullification of Junction City Fort Riley annexation in a separate 7-0 ruling.
