    The document outlines new regulatory updates from the U.S. Coast Guard and the Department of Education. It first establishes a safety zone in the Straits of Mackinac, Michigan, around operational tugs and crew boats conducting surveys of submerged pipelines. This zone prohibits entry without authorization from the Coast Guard from April 1 to May 15, 2024, enhancing maritime safety. Additionally, it presents priorities and requirements for the Augustus F. Hawkins Centers of Excellence Program, aimed at improving teacher preparation programs at minority-serving institutions. Effective May 6, 2024, these updates focus on increasing the diversity of the teacher workforce, enhancing evidence-based clinical training experiences for teacher candidates, and addressing recruitment and retention challenges for underrepresented groups. The Department emphasizes intentional support for candidates from diverse backgrounds and outlines strategies to strengthen the teacher pipeline in underserved schools.
