Pomona youth lack access to education, housing and mental health services, new report says |
|
59% of city’s youth are not reading at grade level, Gente Organizada reports. In a report released this week, a grassroots Pomona youth organization highlights the lack of resources for the city’s immigrant youth when it comes to education, housing and mental health services. Gente Organizada released its first-of-a-kind “Gente De Pomona Equity Report” Tuesday, Jan. 28, to challenge city leaders to look at the facts contained in the report and draw attention to the state of youth in the city who come from marginalized immigrant communities, said Jesus Sanchez, the nonprofit’s founder and executive director.

California school officials reassure immigrant parents after ruling limiting benefits |
|
If your child attends public school or eats school lunch, it won’t hurt your application for permanent residency. That’s the message school officials across California are trying to send to parents after the U.S. Supreme Court ruled this week that the Trump administration can begin using new rules to deny permanent residency, or green cards, based on whether an immigrant is likely to use certain public benefits, such as food stamps or public health insurance. The court has not ruled on the merits of the new rules, but is allowing them to go into effect, while lawsuits move through lower courts.

What California voters need to know about proposed $15 billion school construction bond: a quick guide |
|
The March 3 California ballot includes a $15 billion state bond issue to help schools, community colleges and universities with construction costs for their facilities. Last fall, the Legislature and Gov. Gavin Newsom placed the measure on the ballot by approving Assembly Bill 48. It will appear on the ballot as Proposition 13. Does it have anything to do with the Prop. 13 property tax initiative that voters passed in 1978?

Impeachment trial a ‘teachable moment’ for government, history teachers |
|
For the first time in more than two decades, teachers have the opportunity to use the political drama of the impeachment trial to liven their lessons and teach history as it unfolds. The trial has made its way into the lesson plans of both history and government teachers throughout the country. Some use it to prompt classroom discussion and debate, while others are having students compare the ongoing trial to other historical moments highlighted in their textbooks.

San Diego School Districts Get $45K For Human Trafficking Prevention Education |
|
The San Diego Rotary Club gave $45,000 to three San Diego County school districts for training on how to spot the signs of human trafficking in their schools. The money will be split among the San Diego Unified, San Marcos and Sweetwater Union High school districts and used to help train 700 teachers within the next year. "If we can help teachers and students look out for other people who might be vulnerable to that, then we've done our job here," said David Oates, president of the San Diego Rotary Club.
