This was a big week for us and a big week for Dallas education. New blogger, more early childhood politics, and much more. Here's what you missed.
First, I want to welcome our new middle school blogger friend, BT Bubble Sheet (BTBS). She's a welcome addition to our family.
Trustee Miguel Solis was active this week advocating for a ban on kindergarten-2nd grade suspensions which was shockingly not well received by the entire board. We're coming off an election cycle that has yet to be fully completed. There was quite a bit going on in Dallas this week.
We wrote 14 blogs this week and only the top 5 are here. Looks like this weekend is going to be a rainy one. Catch yourself up!

Rob Shearer joins us on the Dallas Education Podcast to debrief the District 7 race, causing a bit of controversy. in the process Hopefully someone who disagrees with him will take us up on the open offer to come on and rebut sometime before the new board is sworn in.
