MSCS officials closed schools Monday, with 40 buildings still without power at the end of the weekend, according to a statement on the district’s website. Conditions could change overnight, the statement said, and families will be updated in real time by the district or the school itself. These are the schools that will remain closed Tuesday: A. B.

PriceIda B. Wells AcademyKirby High SchoolNorris Achievement AcademyOakhaven Elementary SchoolOakhaven High SchoolOakhaven Middle SchoolSherwood Elementary SchoolSherwood Middle SchoolWillow Oaks Elementary SchoolWooddale High SchoolThe district has already used one of its limited weather cancellation days for the school year, less than a month after classes began. In February, MSCS had to apply for an emergency waiver after closing school for 10 days in a row due to a winter storm. It’s unclear how Tuesday’s cancellations will affect the yearly weather days for the 18 affected schools. All after-school activities in the district remain canceled for Tuesday. Local utilities company Memphis Light, Gas, and Water wrote in an emailed statement that Saturday’s storm brought winds above 70 mph to the region, cutting power to nearly 140,000 households. The company said full service might not be restored until Thursday. MSCS leaders said restoring power is only the first step toward reopening schools. “Our teams must also ensure HVAC and other critical building systems are operating properly, traffic routes are accessible, and schools are safe and ready for students and staff to return,” the district said in its statement. A January winter storm shut down city and county streets for nearly two weeks, keeping Memphis students out of classrooms as the region slowly recovered. Without the emergency waiver granted by the state Education Department, MSCS would have been forced to extend the school year or shorten scheduled breaks to make up for lost time.

Votebeat is a nonprofit news organization reporting on voting access and election administration across the U.S. Sign up for Votebeat Michigan’s free newsletter here.The Michigan Board of State Canvassers has denied ballot access to a state constitutional amendment that would require Michigan voters to prove they are U.S. citizens.A long, tense meeting on Monday ended in a deadlock, meaning the effort won’t make the ballot without intervention from the Michigan Supreme Court. The decision — or lack thereof — means that despite the massive numbers of signatures the amendment’s supporters turned in, it will likely be the court that decides whether it makes the November ballot. In March, the group Americans for Citizen Voting submitted 709,841 signatures to the state in support of the amendment — significantly more than the 446,198 valid signatures required to get on the ballot. To estimate whether the group surpassed that threshold, the Board of State Canvassers checked the validity of a random sample of 1,000 of the submitted signatures. At least 629 of them needed to be valid to certify the proposal for the ballot. The board found 626 were valid, though it had not ruled one way or the other on a decisive number of the signatures by the end of the meeting. Mary Ellen Gurewitz, a Democrat and the vice chair of the board, called the petition drive “sloppy,” saying that it put the board in a “bad position.” Paul Cordes, a Republican on the board, said he felt that if all signatures were considered, there would be more than enough to certify the effort for the ballot. The bipartisan Board of State Canvassers isn’t allowed to approve or reject certification based on whether board members like the subject matter of the petition. Instead, they have an obligation to act only based on whether the number of signatures is valid. It wasn’t entirely clear what the board would do after the Bureau of Elections released a report last week recommending denial. The board makes its decision independently of the bureau, but the two work in tandem on ballot measures, election results, and more.In its analysis of the 1,000 signatures, the Bureau said that the effort had only 612 valid signatures. After a weekend of back-and-forths between Americans for Citizen Voting and Promote The Vote Action — a voting rights group that challenged some of the signatures — the number was 624. Much of Monday’s meeting was spent going through individual petition sheets to see if others should be added.That effort ended when the board ran out of time and took a 2-2 vote along party lines both to certify the effort and to find it insufficient, falling short of the decisive majority needed to certify and put the amendment on the ballot.Amendment’s rejection to be appealedAmericans for Citizen Voting doesn’t plan to let the canvassers’ decision go unchallenged, particularly given the narrow margin between certification and rejection. Paul Jacob, president of Liberty Initiative Fund, the group behind Americans for Citizen Voting, called the meeting’s outcome a “travesty” based on partisan politics rather than the will of Michigan voters. “People deserve a vote on this issue, and they’re going to get one,” Jacob said after the decision. “We’re going to go to every court we’ve got to go to. We’ll go to the Supreme Court of Michigan. We’ll go to the U.S. Supreme Court, wherever we have to go.”According to Michigan law, organizers have seven business days — in other words, until Sept. 2 — to file their appeal, which will go straight to the Michigan Supreme Court.The group spent more than a year building support for its effort, and in March it claimed to have submitted more than 750,000 signatures to the state. State Sen. Ruth Johnson, a former Republican secretary of state and a supporter of the amendment, said at the time that that number spoke to the popularity of the effort. Jacob reiterated that Monday, saying it was a sign that Michigan supported proof of citizenship.”“You can’t cheat the people of Michigan and get away with it,” Jacob, who lives in Virginia, told reporters. “We’re going to be back.”The Supreme Court will be up against a tight deadline: The earliest ballots go out to military and overseas voters by Sept. 19, and all absentees must be available for distribution no later than Sept. 24. That means the contents of the ballots need to be finalized ASAP to ensure clerks have time to print them.What’s in the Americans for Citizenship Voting proposal?If the proposed amendment does ultimately make the ballot, Michiganders would be weighing in on one of the strictest proof-of-citizenship requirements in the U.S. New voters would have to prove their citizenship when registering, a requirement currently in place in four states. But the amendment would also require existing voters to prove their citizenship if the state can’t independently verify it. The ultimate result would be an Arizona-style system in which Michigan is required to maintain two voter rolls — one for voters who have proven their citizenship and can vote in all elections and a second for those who have not and who can only vote in federal elections.It would also remove the option for voters without a valid photo ID to instead sign an affidavit verifying their identity under the penalty of perjury. It would instead implement a “hardship program” funded by the state to allow those who aren’t able to afford identification documents to get them for free. Those who vote without their citizenship verified would have to vote a provisional ballot. They would then have six days after an election to show their documents to election administrators or else their vote will not be counted.Proof-of-citizenship requirements enjoy broad public support; a YouGov/CBS News poll from earlier this year found that 66% of Americans support requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote. Being a U.S. citizen is already a federal requirement to vote in U.S. elections, however, and opponents say putting up additional barriers would just serve to disenfranchise people who are citizens but lack the paper trail to prove it.Noncitizen voting is extremely rare in Michigan and in the U.S. When it does happen, it is typically prosecuted. Six people have been publicly charged across the state for casting a ballot in the 2024 general election despite not having U.S. citizenship, a tiny fraction of the more than 5.6 million ballots cast in Michigan.The topic has remained at the forefront of conservative talking points, though. President Donald Trump said without evidence last month that more than 270,000 noncitizens appear on voter rolls across the country. He has made a federal proof-of-citizenship requirement a priority, repeatedly pressuring Republicans in Congress to pass the SAVE America Act. The bill, however, lacks the support in the U.S. Senate to pass.If the Michigan proposal makes the November ballot, it would need only a majority of the state’s voters to vote yes in order to be enshrined in the state constitution.Hayley Harding is a reporter for Votebeat based in Michigan.

(The Center Square) - Seattle City Council’s Public Safety Committee Chairperson Bob Kettle says he doesn’t believe Mayor Katie Wilson is adequately addressing the issue of prostitution on North Aurora Avenue and the gun violence that has emerged between rival pimps. Kettle has accused Wilson of lacking a public safety plan to address crime and continues to cite North Aurora Avenue in North Seattle as an example of the mayor’s inaction. “I don’t really have a lot of confidence because we have the tools, we have the abilities, so often as we see in Seattle, we don’t take the next step," Kettle said at a press conference on Friday. Kettle has stepped up criticism of the mayor following the Bite of Seattle shooting on July 26 at the Seattle Center that left three dead and four others injured. He has attacked the mayor for putting a surveillance camera program on hold, for delaying a press conference for hours to inform the public about the food festival shooting and for asking former Police Chief Shon Barnes to resign. Aurora Avenue is also one of his concerns because he said residents keep on complaining about continuing prostitution, which creates the potential for continued gun violence. Wilson had promised stepped up police enforcement on Aurora Avenue at a June 11 press conference after neighbors closed off streets on their own off Aurora Ave, after they say gun violence between pimps had become a nightly event. The Aurora Avenue corridor has been a long-time center of Seattle prostitution trade, with many of the sex workers being minors, but neighbors say that gun violence has gone out of control in recent months. It's not only Kettle who is blaming the mayor. Residents say the inaction by the mayor's office to gun violence fueled by the prosecution trade has continued. “We were promised bike patrols,” said Jake Wallack, who lives in the North Aurora Avenue corridor. Wallack told The Center Square that Wilson’s promise for those patrols at the June press conference never happened. He testified at the City Council after the Bite of Seattle shooting that the narrative about North Aurora Avenue needs to change. He said hundreds of johns gather nightly to solicit prostitutes, but nothing is done by authorities to stop it. He said the city knows most of the shootings are related to the prostitution trade, but refuses to do anything about it. “City press releases aren’t changing it,” Wallack said. For the North Aurora Avenue resident, the issue is very personal, with gunfire coming into his home and threatening his baby, a story he told to the City Council Public Safety Committee on May 26. Wilson is also facing a recall effort, after two residents claimed the mayor has been derelict in her duties to protect the city. They cited the violence on Aurora Avenue and the response to the Bite of Seattle shooting in their petition. Additionally, several recent polls have showed the mayor's approval rating dropping significantly, along with approval of her public safety policies. Kettle said the mayor’s office needs to ensure that additional officers are added, particularly on evening shifts when the prostitution and gun violence occur. Wilson defended her record on public safety earlier on Friday at a press conference. "Public Safety is an extremely high priority for our office," she said. A spokesman for the mayor referred The Center Square to the police department Monday for additional details. Sergeant Patrick Michaud said violent crimes are down 18%, and property crimes are down 15% along the Aurora corridor year to date compared to last year. “Nearly every day there is a car dedicated to the Aurora corridor. Not going to 911 calls outside of that very specific area,” Michaud said. “We don’t discuss specific deployed numbers due to security concerns, so I can’t go into more detail there." "We will keep working to drive that crime rate down as it appears the work in that area is starting to pay dividends," he said.

What’s one of our rules?”“No swinging side to side,” the girl said. A classmate offered another rule: No twisting.Two grown men — one in cowboy boots, the other in dress shoes — hopped on the swings. Denver Mayor Mike Johnston twirled around until the metal chains of his swing were knotted up. Denver Public Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero did the same. “Noooooo!” the third graders cried in unison.The playground rules demonstration was one of the most lighthearted moments on Marrero’s back-to-school tour as he visited classrooms and spoke with students at the start of the 2026-27 school year. Colorado’s largest school district faces several changes and challenges this year, including a new bell-to-bell cellphone ban, the potential for more school closures, a pair of fights with the Trump administration, and whether Denver voters will approve a $44 million tax increase for public schools in November.There is also simmering tension between Marrero and the school board, which is responsible for hiring and firing him. Only board President Xóchitl Gaytán and member Marlene De La Rosa accompanied Marrero as he visited CMS Community School, Goldrick Elementary, Rocky Mountain Prep Westwood, DSST College View, and Denison Montessori in southwest Denver.Denver Public Schools Superintendent Alex Marrero gives high fives to students at Goldrick Elementary on the first day of school. At Goldrick, Marrero listened as fifth grade teacher Craig Sellers went over his classroom rules. Rule number one? No touching. Rule number two? Stay in your seat. Rule number three? No cussing.“I’ll try,” a boy sitting in the front row said quietly.Marrero said he wanted to visit Sellers’ classroom because his students had shown tremendous growth on the state standardized math and literacy tests last spring. Johnston, a former teacher, called Sellers “the LeBron James of reading instruction.” “You all drew the lucky class,” Marrero told the students.Marrero also visited two charter schools, which are authorized by the district but overseen by independent nonprofit organizations. The stops were part showcase, part information sharing, as Marrero asked charter leaders about their start dates and student-to-staff ratios. Marrero has at times taken a hard line with charter schools, pushing low-performing ones to close. Rocky Mountain Prep Westwood offered Marrero and the board members fruit smoothies, breakfast burritos, and branded T-shirts and frisbees. The school put a children’s book that Marrero wrote, called “Ask My Amigos,” in its book vending machine by the front door.Charter schools create their own calendars, and Rocky Mountain Prep Westwood had already been in session for a week. Marrero watched as sixth graders defined the word “authoritarian” and seventh graders wrote about how China portrayed the Cultural Revolution in propaganda. The teacher awarded them an extra point if they used the word “pernicious” in their answer.At DSST College View, Marrero and the board members met with a roundtable of eighth graders before a trio of seniors led them through the charter school.De La Rosa asked one of the seniors how he felt about the new cellphone ban. She said she’d gotten several emails from upset parents in the past week.“I think it’s helped me a lot because I’m focusing,” said the senior, Angel. “I don’t have my phone in my pocket. Nothing is going to distract me.”One of the eighth graders had a question for Marrero: “What’s your favorite DPS school?” “What I’m supposed to say is that I don’t have a favorite, just like when they ask you who is your favorite child,” said Marrero, who was wearing a jersey with the logos of district-run high schools — but not charters — on the back. “But I answer the question. … It is Northfield.”He ticked off several reasons, including that Northfield High, a district-run school that opened in 2015 in northeast Denver, “puts colleges to shame.” Marrero also said that he lives near Northfield and sometimes walks the grounds, and that the school had recently been ranked the best high school in Colorado by U.S. News and World Report. The DSST principal handed Marrero a gift: a DSST College View baseball jersey.Melanie Asmar is the bureau chief for Chalkbeat Colorado. Contact Melanie at masmar@chalkbeat.org.
