Failing Charter School Will Continue To Operate
“Closure of the charter school is in the best interest of pupils.” – LACOE Staff Going into the Los Angeles County Office of Education (LACOE) Board meeting on April 1, 2025, the KIPP chain of publicly funded private schools already had three strikes in its attempt to renew the charter of KIPP Sol.

Tariff War
A tariff war, also known as a trade war, is a situation in which countries impose tariffs (taxes or duties) on each other's goods and services in an effort to protect their own economies or to retaliate against perceived unfair trade practices. The idea behind tariffs is to make imported goods more expensive, thereby encouraging consumers to buy domestic products. While tariffs can serve as a protective measure for local industries, they can also create tensions between trading partners and lead to a series of retaliatory actions that escalate into a full-blown tariff war. This article explores the nature of tariff wars, their causes, effects, and notable examples in recent history.
