Teacher pay is a small part of a giant puzzle of how to keep public schools running smoothly and effectively. Funding a school receives, however, can have an impact on a student’s experience. This elementary school in Chesterfield, South Carolina knows all about it. In the eyes of a kindergartener, school is just school, and they believe it's the same for everyone. However, their teacher, Natalie Melton, knows that's anything but true."It’s absolutely not fair,” she says. “All children deserve the same opportunity. All teachers deserve the same opportunity to use the same things to teach them.”But the way schools get their funds is part of a system that’s been in place since the mid-1970s.It’s a system superintendent Harrison Goodwin says needs to change.“It’s never going to be equal, because the resources that children are born into are never gonna be equal,” Goodwin says. “What we have to find is some way to make up for the equity of it.”Schools get their money from a mix of federal state and local sources, but nearly half their funds come from local property taxes. Chesterfield is a high-poverty, rural community. It's a problem faced by educators in states across the U.S.“At this school, we're probably about 70 to 72 percent high poverty,” Goodwin says.In South Carolina, he says there is a direct correlation between poverty and test scores.It means schools feel the need to do more with less. If Melton could send one message to the nation’s politicians, it’s this.“I would implore them to rethink some of the decisions they made to allocate things for education,” she says. “Every child deserves an opportunity to learn just like everyone else, no matter where you’re from, no matter where your parents are from or how much money your parents make. Any of that, all that, should be the same.” 1830

The opioid crisis cost the U.S. economy 1 billion from 2015 through last year — and it may keep getting more expensive, according to a study released Tuesday by the Society of Actuaries.The biggest driver of the cost over the four-year period is unrealized lifetime earnings of those who died from the drugs, followed by health care costs.While more than 2,000 state and local governments have sued the drug industry over the crisis, the report released Tuesday finds that governments bear less than one-third of the financial costs. The rest of it affects individuals and the private sector.The federal government is tracking how many lives are lost to the opioid crisis (more than 400,000 Americans since 2000), but pinning down the financial cost is less certain.A U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report from found the cost for 2013 at billion. That’s less than half the cost that the latest report has found in more recent years. The crisis also has deepened since 2013, with fentanyl and other strong synthetic opioids contributing to a higher number of deaths. Overall, opioid-related death numbers rose through 2017 before leveling off last year at about 47,000.A study published in 2017 by the White House Council of Economic Advisers estimated a far higher cost — just over 0 billion a year. The new study notes that the White House one used much higher figures for the value of lives lost to opioids — attempting to quantify their economic value rather than just future income.The actuaries’ report is intended partly to help the insurance industry figure out how to factor opioid use disorder into policy pricing.It found that the cost of the opioid crisis this year is likely to be between 1 billion and 4 billion. Even under the most optimistic scenario, the cost would be higher than it was in 2017.The study was released just ahead of the first federal trial on the opioid crisis, scheduled to start next week in Cleveland where a jury will hear claims from Ohio’s Cuyahoga and Summit counties against six companies. The counties claim the drug industry created a public nuisance and should pay.The report found that criminal justice and child-welfare system costs have been pushed up by the opioid epidemic.Most of the added health care costs for dealing with opioid addiction and overdoses were borne by Medicaid, Medicare and other government programs, according to the report. Still, the crisis rang up billion in commercial insurance costs last year. Lost productivity costs added another billion.Businesses have begun noticing. Last week, a small West Virginia home improvement company, Al Marino Inc., filed a class-action lawsuit against several companies, claiming the opioid crisis was a reason its health insurance costs were skyrocketing.Still, the biggest cost burden fell on families due to lost earnings of those who died. Those mortality costs alone came to more than billion last year, the report said.Members of a committee representing unsecured creditors helping guide opioid maker Purdue Pharma’s bankruptcy process have been calling for money in any settlement to go toward to people affected by the crisis and not just governments. 3225

TEHRAN, Iran (AP) — Iran's government says 12 people have died nationwide from COVID-19, commonly known as coronavirus, and it has rejected claims of a much higher death toll by a lawmaker from the city of Qom that has been at the epicenter of the virus in the country. The conflicting reports raised questions about the Iranian government’s transparency concerning the scale of the outbreak. Iran's Health Ministry said total infections have risen to 61 while deaths stood at 12. However, a lawmaker from Qom was quoted by a semi-official news agency as saying the death toll was 50. Even with the lower toll of 12, the number of deaths compared to the number of confirmed infections is higher in Iran than in any other country.The 745

The death of Luke Perry, after the actor suffered what his publicist said was a massive stroke, is evidence that the disease can affect people of any age, the American Heart Association said.Perry, who starred in "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Riverdale," died Monday. He was 52."Although stroke often affects older individuals, it is not only a disease of the elderly," said Mitchell S. V. Elkind, chair of the American Stroke Association Advisory Committee. "There is evidence that stroke rates among young people are increasing in the United States and this requires additional research."A 601
