Colorado’s $34.1 billion proposed state budget restores deep cuts made last year to K-12 and higher education, provides more money to help students who have traditionally struggled to complete college, and creates a substantial reserve for K-12 schools.

SATs and ACTs can't measure strength of spirit, study habits or maturity. Determining the right answer to a standardized test question doesn't necessarily involve artistic, creative or innovative thinking.

Participating in dual enrollment “helps students move their gaze from a few feet in front of them to a point further on out on the horizon and start on that road,” said Amy Williams, executive director of the National Alliance of Concurrent Enrollment Partnerships.

Georgia will not grade schools and districts using state test results for the second year in a row, the state Department of Education announced, saying federal officials had waived the requirement for the state accountability system.
