Miami-Dade Wins $1 Million Broad Prize for Most Improved Urban District
Miami-Dade Public Schools, the nation's fourth-largest district, won the prestigious Broad Prize Tuesday for excellence in urban education.
The $1 million prize, awarded annually by the nonprofit Broad Foundation, recognizes districts that have made substantial gains in student achievement and outcomes.
"What is encouraging about Miami-Dade is its sustainable improvement over time," philanthropist Eli Broad said, according to U.S. News & World Reports. "Their gains are a testament to the hard-working teachers, administrators and parents who have embraced innovative new methods to modernize schools and ensure that students of all backgrounds get the support they need."

The Hechinger Report, in partnership with CNNMoney, has done some terrific reporting in a new piece on college students who are Drowning In Debt. This critical issue is also the focus of EWA's upcoming seminar for journalists in Indianapolis. There are still a few spots remaining, and you can register here.
