Test season is upon us so I know everyone has their hands full. Power through. Break will be here before you know it.
We know there was some difficulty accessing the blog on the DISD network starting on Thursday. We're looking into it. Thanks for reading on your phones and/or at home. It was still one of the biggest Fridays in terms of reader turnout since we launched. We appreciate you.
New Dallas Education Podcast with Alliance AFT's David Lee comes out tomorrow. Stay tuned!
Here's what you missed while you were getting your students ready for testing season.
