Therein lies the catch in “school choice” for disabled children. Unlike public schools, private ones generally aren’t required to educate students with disabilities. And they often don’t.

The choice wasn’t hers, one mom realized. It was the schools’. https://t.co/jqDSE32xtR

Why is ProPublica opening up a California hub and what's the status of our local news initiatives? I spoke to @jbenton at NiemanLab about these questions and more: https://t.co/z5kNlmXRf9

Super disturbing. Almost every year since 2015, Idaho children in a faith-healing sect have died of treatable conditions such as pneumonia and bacterial infections that turned to sepsis. The state just lets it happen. https://t.co/SE4b82bQm6 @audreydutton

At some private schools, every single student is on a publicly funded voucher. Does that make the schools public or private? Read @MegsNewz's piece on how the schools operate mostly in secret: https://t.co/M0C2AvkvPC

Hey @BrendanCarrFCC, the FCC wouldn’t talk to us for this story. Can you help us get the agency’s perspective?

“We flew to the island in June and visited every building the company itself told regulators it serves. We knocked on every door. Talked to every person we could find.
Not a single one told us they subscribe to the island’s subsidized internet service.” https://t.co/aGy4OXzqkW

The US government (you!) and the state of Alaska are subsidizing internet for empty homes. A must-read story by @kylehopkinsAK @adndotcom https://t.co/aGy4OXzqkW

@beardedmahmood Thanks for sharing this! Can I please ask what you pay per month for that service, and who the provider is? (If you'd rather not say, I totally understand. Just trying to get a sense of rates and speeds around the state.)

[Kyle Hopkins @kylehopkinsAK]

Help me with some reporting on Internet access in Alaska? Can you please run this speed test and tell me how fast the Internet is at your home or business? (And what community you're in?) Feel free to email [email protected]. THANKS! https://t.co/WK9CHYUpBN
