The cost of attracting and retaining public school students in the 21st Century. To paraphrase Strother Martin’s character “Captain” in the movie Cool Hand Luke: “Perhaps what public schools got here is a failure to communicate.” Scottsdale Unified and Paradise Valley Unified apparently think so. According to this report, the districts “allocate hundreds of thousands of dollars to its communications department [for advertising ‘in an effort to attract and retain new students’].” Scottsdale Independent’sTerrance Thornton examines where some of the “money allocated toward marketing” goes, and whether it’s “money well spent.” http://bit.ly/2f4AYv3

Coyotes’ LeBlanc clears up questions about possible Tempe arena. “The plan is to build a 16,000-plus seat arena at the northwest corner of McClintock Drive and Rio Salado Parkway on Karsten Golf Course… Sources stressed the agreement that was announced on Monday is not to build an arena on the site, but instead it is basically an announcement that the two sides will now begin to talk about the process.” Tap through to Arizona Sports to check out what Coyotes CEO Anthony LeBlanc told Doug and Wolf—> http://bit.ly/2fZXVl9

Ride Sharing for pilots is no flight of fancy. “In… 2014 the [FAA] banned private pilots from communicating travel plans and sharing flight expenses over the internet. That order shut down Flytenow, a startup that connected pilots and cost-sharing passengers online…. The Goldwater Institute challenged… and the Supreme Court is expected to decide… whether to review the case.” In this op-ed for The Wall Street Journal, Jonathan Riches (director of national litigation at the Goldwater Institute) and Thomas P. Gross (an attorney and private pilot) make a strong case for a Supreme Court review, noting that “consumers and service providers should be free to choose which innovations work for them.” http://bit.ly/2fZTozf
