Oct 5, 2023; Chicago, Illinois, USA; Chicago Blackhawks center Connor Bedard (98) brings the puck up the ice against the Minnesota Wild during the second period at United Center. Mandatory Credit: David Banks-USA TODAY Sports Acquire Licensing RightsTORONTO, Oct 9 (Reuters) - Chicago Blackhawks rookie Connor Bedard skates into the spotlight when a new NHL season begins on Tuesday as Alexander Ovechkin looks to close in on one of hockey's treasured records and Canadians dream of an end to 30-year Stanley Cup drought. The season launches on three fronts with the Vegas Golden Knights raising their first Stanley Cup championship banner before taking on the Seattle Kraken while the Tampa Bay Lightning host the Nashville Predators. An Edmonton or Toronto win would end what has been a humbling 30-year Stanley Cup drought for hockey obsessed Canadians. On the ice the team has been an utter failure, last season winning their first playoff series in 19 years before meekly exiting in the next round.

June 13 (Reuters) - New York City has struck a tentative $6.4 billion five-year contract deal with the teachers union that includes more than 15% in pay hikes over five years and expands remote learning programs that began during the coronavirus pandemic. In Los Angeles, teachers joined a three-day strike in March by the union that represents school support staff, effectively shuttering the second-largest U.S. public school system. The union reached a new deal with the city in April. New York's contract expands voluntary virtual learning, which will offer flexible class scheduling including weekends and evenings and will eventually be available to all high school students and some middle school students. The proposed deal would allow most teachers to reach $100,000 in salary within eight years of getting hired, according to union officials.

New York City public schools are lifting the ban they placed on ChatGPT in January. David Banks, chancellor of the NYC public school system, said the tool caught NYC schools off-guard. The New York City public school system is reversing its ban on ChatGPT. Several other school districts across the country placed restrictions on ChatGPT earlier this year, too, including Baltimore County Public Schools, the Los Angeles Unified School District, and Seattle Public Schools. Now, the NYC school system is saying it's ready to embrace AI in the classroom.

Eric Adams Fails a Charter-School Test
  + stars: | 2023-01-25 | by ( The Editorial Board | ) www.wsj.com   time to read: 1 min
Mayor Eric Adams had a big test this week of his commitment to excellent public schools for New York City school children. He flunked. On Tuesday and Wednesday the city’s Panel for Educational Policy was scheduled to vote on proposals to co-locate three new Success Academy charter schools—two in Queens and one in the Bronx—in unused space in existing public schools. Since the mayor appoints 13 of the panel’s 23 voting members, Mr. Adams should have been able to get the “yea” votes for a majority. But on Monday schools chancellor David Banks cited feedback from “community members” that co-location would create “significant challenges.” He means the teachers union objected.
New York City public schools will now observe the Diwali holiday, Mayor Eric Adams announced at a news conference Thursday. Diwali, also called the festival of lights, is typically celebrated by Hindus, Jains and Sikhs, and will be commemorated starting the next academic year. “For over two decades, South Asians and Indo-Caribbeans in New York have been fighting for the Diwali school holiday,” she said. “I stand on the shoulders of those advocates.”In making space for the holiday, Adams says he hopes non-South Asian students will start to learn about it too. “When we acknowledge Diwali, we are going to encourage children to learn about what is Diwali,” he said.
