Anxious California teachers with pink slips await word on jobs next school year |
|
Second-grade teacher Jacob Willis has worked in the San Diego Unified School District in different roles since he graduated from high school in 2016. Now, he is one of hundreds of California teachers waiting to see if they will still have a job when campuses reopen next school year. Declining enrollment, expiring federal funds for Covid relief, plus a proposed state budget with no new money for education made school leaders in 100 of California’s 1,000 school districts nervous enough about balancing their districts’ budgets to issue layoff notices to 1,900 teachers — 16 times more than the 124 that were issued last spring, according to the California Teachers Association. |

Are young children suspended from school too often? |
|
A kindergartner got suspended for pulling his pants down at recess. A second grader was suspended after he got mad and ran out of the building. A third grader got suspended because she yelled about not being allowed to have cookies. Elementary school students are often punished for developmentally typical behavior, experts say, Hechinger reported. Even upsetting behaviors like kicking or punching can be a matter of young children figuring out how to regulate their emotions and how to behave in class. |

Two California schools tapped for national arts education grants |
|
Two California high schools are among the recipients of grants from the Andrew Lloyd Webber Initiative, which include college and training scholarships and classroom resource grants. The program is part of the push by the American Theatre Wing (the force behind the Tony Awards) to help under-resourced students continue their arts education. Webber is a famed musical theater impresario known for iconic hits such as “Phantom of the Opera,” “Cats” and “Evita.” Canyon Hills High School in San Diego and Cordova High School in Rancho Cordova were selected to take part in the program. |
