It was a rather busy news week. The House of Representatives passed a bill to dismantle Obamacare, and Mark Keierleber analyzed how the move could cut funds to schools. As Matt Barnum reports, Colorado’s teacher evaluation “revolution” has stalled, with fewer than one in 1,000 teachers being rated “ineffective.” And one of the highlights from National Charter Schools Week: 19 state and federal officials were celebrated on Capitol Hill as this year’s charter “champions.” Mareesa Nicosia has the full roster of honorees.

Here are a few other interesting articles we’ve been reading at other outlets this week, that you might have missed amid the breaking headlines:
