More schools get solar power through $6 million Anaheim utility program |
|
Nine Anaheim schools will get shade, cash and a hands-on science lesson, while the city’s utility moves closer to its goal of getting half its power from renewable energy, thanks to a new partnership. In mid-2018, the Solar for Schools pilot program will build shade structures over schools’ parking spaces and picnic tables and cover them with solar panels that generate energy for the utility. The schools will receive a lease fee for use of their campuses. |

Laws call for no oversight of private schools like Perris home where 13 were shackled |
|
The Perris home where 12 people — including children — were found chained and padlocked to their beds Sunday, Jan. 14, is listed in state records as Sandcastle Day School, a private school with just six students. But no law appears to require inspections or oversight of such schools, education officials said. “When they become a private school, they’re out of the school realm,” said David Long, a former state education secretary and Riverside County Superintendent of Schools. |

California to explain but not change school improvement plan federal officials criticized |
|
Despite significant criticisms last month by the U.S. Department of Education, California will likely make clarifications but no substantial changes to the state’s plan for complying with the Every Student Succeeds Act, the federal law that requires states to improve low-achieving schools. At its meeting on Thursday, the State Board of Education is expected to adopt wording changes and elaborations while keeping most of the 100-plus page document intact. |

LAO: Brown likely under estimates tax revenue this year |
|
The governor’s January budget plan offers $6.3 billion in new Proposition 98 spending over three years, according to a new review from the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst.
The additional funds come from an upward revision of taxes that will be collected this fiscal year and an ongoing surge next year and in 2018-19 probably driven by corporations and big investors adjusting to the new national tax law, the LAO said.
