Every weekday, I’m sharing the morning’s top education headlines from all over the Web. Today: Charter school Hakipuu Learning Center is being evicted from its building this month to make way for a nursing facility, University of Hawaii administrators have been taking free season tickets to athletic events while regents consider a new per-semester athletic fee for students and Chicago has instituted a new policy to lay off low-performing tenured teachers before dismissing high-performing novice teachers.

• The Hawaii Department of Health is booting out public charter school Hakipuu Learning Center in order to make way for a nursing facility in Kaneohe, The Honolulu Star-Advertiser reported today.

• While University of Hawaii leaders are considering a $50 per semester athletic fee, it turns out administrators have been receiving free season tickets to sports of their choice, Ian Lind reported on his blog yesterday.

• Chicago’s board of education just passed a policy that would lay off ineffective tenured teachers before dismissing higher-rated new teachers, Education Week reported today. It’s interesting how novel this foray seems to those of us who have forgotten what a merit-based system looks like in public education. Chicago is showing us it is possible to try, at least.

• The starting salaries of new college graduates are even lower than they were a year ago, The Associated Press reported today.

• An NPR story today examines the ethics of unpaid internships for students.
