    We met 3-year-old Maisy Yost this week. Recently diagnosed with autism, she's eligible to receive services in the public schools this year.

    We met a mother dealing her daughter’s recent autism diagnosis. We met a parent who has qualms with the state’s new method of grading the state’s schools. And we met college students unconcerned with the number of hours they’re taking, but still support state lawmakers’ efforts to curb “credit creep.” These are the people we met this week — catch up with them in our wrapup of this week’s essential StateImpact:
