District-by-District Test Scores Echo a Decade of Decline in U.S. Math and Reading

Stanford's Educational Opportunity Project, linked with NAEP, shows third- to eighth-grade math and reading scores have declined over the past decade. The Times provides a district-by-district lookup for changes since 2015, with exclusions for states and districts lacking data (e.g., New York); where 2015 data are missing, baseline scores come from the 2014–2016 average to enable cross-district comparisons.

"Pottawattamie County Special Election Sees Record Voter Turnout"

Pottawattamie County residents participated in a special election to determine how they will elect their county Board of Supervisors. The ballot included three options: Plan 1 maintains the current system, Plan 2 divides the county into five districts with all residents voting for supervisors from each district, and Plan 3 also divides the county into five districts but restricts voting to the candidate in each individual district. The unofficial results show that Plan 1 received 5,224 votes, Plan 2 received 545 votes, and Plan 3 received 2,357 votes. The specific districts have yet to be determined, but if Plan 2 or 3 pass, Council Bluffs will be divided into four districts, with one district including parts of the county adjacent to Council Bluffs.
