La Habra City School District announces new focuses for schools |
|
The La Habra City School District is re-configuring its campuses for the 2018-19 school year, creating a special focus for each, and hundreds of parents have already put in requests to transfer their children to the school that interests them. The district held two rallies recently to introduce families to the changes happening in the fall when each of the district’s elementary schools will have classes for transitional kindergarten through the sixth grade – Las Positas Elementary will end at fifth grade. Previously campuses were either K-2 or 3-5. |

It focuses on teaching people ways to stop bleeding, which, according to the American College of Surgeons, is the No. 1 cause death in a trauma that can be prevented. |

Federal, state visions for improving schools collide in California |
|
During a presentation earlier this month on how to choose the roughly 300 lowest-performing schools that must get intensive help under federal law, a number struck some members of the State Board of Education like a brick from the sky: 3,003. That’s the total number of schools in the state that staff estimate would require at least some form of help based on the school selection criteria that the board was considering. |

|
It’s well known that notices going home in some school districts in California need to be translated into more than a dozen different languages. But in Vermont? Or Maine? Or Montana?
