It’s been a week of high-profile events in the education world. First, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos addressed the faithful on school choice at the American Federation for Children’s annual conference in Indianapolis Monday; then President Donald Trump released his proposed $4.1 trillion budget Tuesday that is bullish on private school vouchers and additional charter school funding but would gut $9 billion from other education programs; and finally Wednesday, DeVos on both those fronts before the House Appropriations Committee.

Which is to say that no one could blame you for missing some of the week’s other most compelling schools coverage. Don’t worry, we got you. Here is a rundown of what we have been reading from other outlets, delivered a day early for your long holiday weekend:
