Newsom vetoed high school ethnic studies bill after complaints from Jewish groups about curriculum |
|
Jewish groups angered by their exclusion from a proposed ethnic studies curriculum for California high school students credited their concerns in large part for Gov. Gavin Newsom’s veto of a bill requiring the course for graduation. It was the latest twist in a fight that has lasted more than a year over whether California’s high school students should be required to take an ethnic studies class and, if so, what should be included.

Has distance learning improved for Fresno-area students? Here’s what the early data shows |
|
Elementary school students in Fresno could start going back to campuses in a few weeks, but that doesn’t mean distance learning is going away. The three largest school districts in Fresno County are transitioning small groups of students to in-person classes, but students won’t be on campuses full-time. Until positive coronavirus cases are more under control, distance learning is here to stay.

Schools Are Closed, But School Districts Are Still Feeding Students In Need — With Help From The Census |
|
School districts across the country participate in the U.S. Department of Agriculture's National School Lunch and Breakfast programs. These programs provide reimbursement for free and reduced-price distributed meals to students from low-income homes. L.A. Unified's free school nutrition programs have fed Nancy Paczkowski's two kids, Jackson and Leah, at school for more than four years. The National School Lunch and School Breakfast programs, with budgets informed by census data, have helped eligible families like the Paczkowskis in school districts across the U.S. eat healthily at school without worrying about cost.
