BOULDER, Colo.—The federal government will impose a 10-year operating framework for managing water use in the Colorado River Basin by the end of this summer if the seven states that rely on the river cannot come to an agreement before then, said Scott Cameron, acting commissioner for the Bureau of Reclamation, at a water conference […]

Sign up for Chalkbeat New York’s free daily newsletter to get essential news about NYC’s public schools delivered to your inbox.New York City elementary and middle school students may soon have a greater say in shaping their education by joining their school leadership teams — and earn $300 doing so. School leadership teams, or SLTs, are committees of educators and parents that collaborate to develop and evaluate school policies aimed at improving student outcomes and ensuring that a school’s goals and budget align. Through a shared decision-making process, these teams create a sort of blueprint for the school year, known as a “comprehensive education plan.” Under state law, all schools are required to have these governing bodies, and when Mayor Zohran Mamdani pledged a more democratic model of mayoral control, he said he would tap the existing infrastructure of parent involvement, including SLTs.The city already requires high school SLTs to include at least two students. An Education Department proposal to update SLT regulations would mandate middle schools include at least two student members and would encourage elementary schools to include students as well. (All SLT members can get a remuneration of $300 for completing 30 hours of SLT work, including training. In the summer, they may receive an additional $10 per hour for up to 10 hours.)“School Leadership Teams are most effective when they reflect the voices of the communities they serve, including students,” Education Department spokesperson Chyann Tull said in a statement. “As we continue strengthening family and student engagement, we are focusing on expanding meaningful opportunities for young people to participate in school-level decision-making, so that school policies and priorities are informed by those closest to the student experience.”But will students sign up to be on these committees? About about 125 high schools — or nearly a quarter — have no student representatives assigned to their SLTs, Education Department officials said. Roughly 370 high schools have at least two student members identified on their SLT rosters, and another 30 have at least one student member listed. More broadly, SLTs must have at least 10 members, including a school’s principal, its teachers union chapter leader, and parent teacher association president, along with other school staffers and parents in equal numbers. Andabout 10% of schools across the city do not have the minimum 10 SLT members, as required, officials said. SLTs were codified in state law in 2004 and haven’t been updated since 2010. The new regulations propose adding other members to SLTs in addition to students. At schools that receive federal Title 1 funding — generally those with at least 60% of students living in poverty — the proposed regulations would also mandate the Title 1 Parent Advisory Chair serve on SLTs. It encourages schools to make their “best effort” to include staffers from DC37, the union that represents cafeteria workers, crossing guards, and substance abuse specialists as well as parent coordinators. Parent coordinators are not allowed to serve on the committees due to potential conflicts of interest representing parents but reporting to principals. The updated regulations, which are expected to be voted on June 17 by the Panel for Educational Policy, clarifies election procedures for SLT members as well as the open meetings law requirements when conducting meetings, among other things. The city solicited feedback on the proposed regulations, posted May 1, and as of Tuesday, received just 14 responses, including calls for more transparency in how the meetings are run and promoted. Though these meetings are open to the school community at-large and the public in general, they rarely attract non-members. One commenter pushed back on excluding parent coordinators since they are so involved in daily school operations.Lisa Donlan, a former parent leader from Manhattan’s District 1, who led training sessions as part of the district leadership team for SLTs, said she focused on empowering these committees to help them “grow” their school’s sense of community rather than making them feel like a “coffee clatch.”“The work is creating the goals of the school for the following school year and creating actions plans — and then seeing if those goals are met,” Donlan said.For parents, she added, “you forget that you’re not just serving on the SLT, your job is to represent the parents.” (District 1’s Neighborhood School PTA Advocacy meeting, which is open to the public, is hosting an 8:30 a.m. discussion at the school, located at 121 E. 3rd St., on the proposed SLT regulations and co-governance in city schools on June 17, before the panel votes on the proposal.)Loading…If you are having trouble viewing this form, go here.Amy Zimmer is the bureau chief for Chalkbeat New York.

(The Center Square) – After a $3.5 billion contract was awarded for track and electrical work on California’s high-speed rail, critics are calling the entire project problematic because of a lack of transparency. It's the latest criticism of a delayed project that is costing taxpayers more than $100 billion in additional costs. The firm Kiewit, Stacy Witbeck and Herzog won the contract approved at Tuesday's High-Speed Rail Authority meeting. That firm won out over one other bidder, which was ruled out because that firm didn’t meet all the requirements set out by the state agency. No one from Kiewit, Stacy Witbeck and Herzog responded to The Center Square's request for comment on Friday. According to a presentation from the meeting earlier this week, $118.1 million will pay for design, acquiring materials and doing pre-construction work, among other facets of the project. Roughly $260 million will pay for engineering work, laying track and construction – totaling about $378.9 million to start laying down tracks. Other facets covered by the contract include an overhead contact system and traction power, train control and communications systems. “The bottom line is, I think we should pull the plug on this whole thing,” state Sen. Tony Strickland, R-Huntington Beach, told The Center Square on Friday afternoon. “The fact is that they’re moving forward without a realistic plan. Even the inspector general said the plan, moving forward, is unrealistic.” Strickland said he is concerned the high-speed rail doesn’t have the money on hand to follow through on construction and be built the way it was proposed almost 20 years ago. “They have major cash flow issues and major funding issues,” Strickland said. “The fact that they’re willing to move forward and waste billions of dollars on a project that I believe will never be built as proposed for the people of California, I think, is irresponsible.” Some board members had concerns this week about designating so much money to paying for various phases of the continued construction of high-speed rail, especially with the $3.5 billion going to just one company. However, High-Speed Rail Authority staff said during the meeting that walking away from working with a contractor was “not desirable.” “We’re invested and our partners are invested in getting this project right,” Ed Fenn, chief of construction at the High-Speed Rail Authority, said during the meeting. “We have a lot of institutional knowledge as far as what costs and schedules should be, and we have experts to help us ensure that we have competitive pricing going forward.” An official from The High-Speed Rail Authority said on Friday via email that while the 119-mile segment that runs through the Central Valley will be electrified and ready to test after work is complete, it will start operations at a later date. “It will not be operational yet,” Micah Flores, public relations manager for the California High-Speed Rail Authority, told The Center Square. “Certification, train-set testing and other pre‑revenue activities still need to occur. This segment is part of the 171-mile operating line between Merced and Bakersfield, which is planned to begin passenger service in 2033.” So far, the high-speed rail project is estimated to cost $126.2 billion, much more than the $9.95 billion bond that California voters approved in 2008, according to previous reporting by The Center Square. The complete high-speed rail was supposed to be finished in 2020.
