FILE - In this April 11, 2017 file photo, Education Secretary Betsy DeVos is seen in the State Department Library of the Eisenhower Executive Office Building on the White House complex in Washington. How to spot a troubled school and how to help it? What does it mean to be a good student? What should report cards look like? These are some of the questions states are grappling with as they are working to submit blueprints of how they will implement the Every Student Succeeds Act, or ESSA, a landmark education law meant to help struggling schools. The law allows states greater flexibility in dealing with low performing schools, but the flexibility also comes with the risk or doing too little, too much or too differently.

Dmitri Moua, a suburban St. Paul high school junior, accused the Minnesota State High School League, the state’s official athletics governing board, of sex discrimination in a lawsuit filed last summer, saying he could not join the girl’s dance team because it did not allow for boys to compete. Another high school junior joined the lawsuit, and this month, after winning an injunction from the U.S. 8th Circuit Court of Appeals, the MSHSL announced it would allow for any boy who wishes to compete in dance the opportunity to do so beginning in the fall of 2019.
