Advocates for students with disabilities, minority students and low-income students were among the stakeholders who weighed in on the state’s plan for education under the Every Student Succeeds Act. Some had recommendations adopted in the final plan, which was submitted to the U.S. Department of Education last month. Others say their concerns were brushed aside. Under ESSA, which replaced No Child Left Behind, all states were required to develop a plan detailing how school performance will be measured, achievement gaps will be narrowed and fede...

The scouts ask for unopened and in-date food, especially holiday foods such as pumpkin pie mix, cranberry sauce, stuffing, potatoes, jellos,...

Here is some stock market advice I have observed. And I will give you some advice on stocks. I thought I had it made when my brother-in-law left coaching and became a stock broker in Chicago. So I discreetly asked if he had any special advice. He said “the market always goes up and always goes down, etc.” So I was disappointed that it was not more specific. However, I eventually realized that it was best not to worry about the daily ups and downs or even the yearly ups and downs. So that was advice from an expert analyst. Yesterday I saw a lon...
Stonewall Jackson, Robert E. Lee and Isaac Stand Waite: all names of generals of the Confederacy, men who fought for what they believed, whether it was right or wrong. They are also the names of schools in Oklahoma City. The school board voted 7-0 in favor of renaming all of them. In fairness to the board members, they had no choice unless they wanted to be burned at the stake after the meeting. I am pretty sure all the young people that have gotten educations at these schools never did tell...

It was a matter of economics. Rachel Carter had the intelligence, ability and grades to be accepted at Duke and Baylor. She lived in many larger cities before moving to Alva where she graduated from high school. She thought of herself as a city girl and planned to attend a big name college. Then she learned the costs of higher education at these big name institutions. So she set her sights on an in-state Baptist college. Private schools weren't low-cost either. When she added up the economic adv...

The Alva Goldbugs hosted the Tonkawa Buccaneers in a very important district game Friday. If Alva won, they'd be second in the district rankings and get to host a district playoff. The teams came into the contest with matching win-loss records. Both were 3-1 in district play and 7-1 for the season. The Buccaneers concentrated on shutting down Alva's primary ball movers, Dalton Hess and Davion Murrow. But that strategy didn't stop the Goldbugs who used their depth of talent to score. Alva led...
