Good morning:

Good morning! In good news, my beloved Detroit Tigers broke their four game losing streak with a win last night. Ed Week has a write up about students in Florida’s educational choice program making gains. And, hat tip to @MichaelPetrilli for flagging today’s School Choice Tweet of the Morning.
Have a great Thursday!
Matt
