Governor Glenn Youngkin is defending a new accountability system for Virginia's public schools. The new system classifies schools into four categories: Distinguished, On Track, Off Track, or Needs Intensive Support. Supporters believe the system sets high expectations for students, while critics argue that it may inaccurately label schools. Scott Braband of the Virginia Association of School Superintendents expressed concerns about the classification process. Governor Youngkin emphasized the importance of investing in schools that need the most help and stated that the system will be fully implemented in the next school year.

The fun rolls into the league's first regular season game on a Friday night since 1970 when the Eagles and Packers square off in the NFL's first-ever game from Brazil.
