Parents need school report cards they can actually read, new study says |
|
All states in the country are required to issue education report cards about students’ performance in public schools. The problem is, parents have a hard time finding and reading them — and in many cases, they’re not even available in a language they understand, a new report finds. “Getting people the data they need is essential because when families and communities have the right information to make decisions, students excel,” it states. |

Despite legalization, California colleges stick to their marijuana bans |
|
Students at UC San Diego don’t need to go far if they want to take part in California’s new recreational marijuana market: Torrey Holistics, a dispensary that sells cannabis to anyone over 21, is the next exit up Interstate 5 from the university.
But those students shouldn’t plan to bring their purchases back to their dorm rooms, or anywhere else on campus.

Overlap plagues services to early learners with disabilities |
|
Multiple agencies and programs are charged with serving California’s estimated 41,000 infants and toddlers with special needs, which causes administrative overlap and confusion for families, according to a new review from the non-partisan Legislative Analyst. To simplify the system, save money and improve services, the LAO has suggested that lawmakers unify delivery under an existing network of non-profit regional centers that already coordinate intervention to the lion’s share of those children. |
