Admin cut suspension rates by prohibiting teachers from using them

Anyone else's district do something like this? A new super comes in, makes a policy that orders schools to not suspend students, then the following year they proclaim "look how much the suspension rate dropped" like they're some kind of genius. I'm wondering how common this tactic is.

I'm bummed Mike Duggan didn't run for Governor

Mike Duggan seemed like a legitimate good candidate to run for governor. He was mayor of Detroit during a period that saw its revival a little, vs the previous mayor that got caught embezzling and got sent to jail. Duggan was polling pretty good at one point as an independent. Wish the Michigan DNC had went with him instead of the no-name candidate they went with. John James has a very good chance of winning.

Anyone notice how bad Mlive is?

Mlive is the company that bought up the Kalamazoo Gazette a few decades ago. They've been gradually getting more terrible every year.

Now they require a subscription to view any of their articles, which weren't really very good to begin with. Plus the website is buggy and loaded with ads.
