Every weekday, I am reading and sharing the day’s top education headlines. A little short this morning as there’s a lot going on at the capitol relating to Hawaii education and we’re about to head down there.

Today: One of the nation’s premier education labor unions voted “no confidence” in Obama’s flagship education initiative, a study to be released this fall will show that the days of tenure at the university are over and school districts are grouping students by skill level rather than age.

• Delegates to the National Education Association cast a “no confidence” vote in President Obama’s federal Race to the Top guidelines, Education Week reported on Sunday.

• The Chronicle of Higher Education reported over the weekend that tenured jobs at the university level dropped from 57 percent in 1975 to 31 percent in 2007.

• School districts all over the country are beginning to group students by skill level in each subject rather than by age, The Associated Press reported over the weekend.
