Santa Ana School Board may honor city founder after dropping his name from a campus |
|
The name of William H. Spurgeon – Santa Ana’s founder – may have a spot on an educational building in the city after all. The Santa Ana Unified School Board is scheduled to consider on Tuesday, Oct. 8, renaming its District Central Office as the WH Spurgeon Administrative Center. The district got considerable flak from historians and other long-timers in August, when it renamed Spurgeon Intermediate the Romero-Cruz Academy.

El Rancho Unified teacher’s union files charges against school board |
|
The El Rancho Unified teacher’s union took the first step toward possible legal action against the district’s school board majority, alleging interference, discrimination and retaliation against union members and leadership in a filing with the state’s Public Employee Relation Board. The move comes on the heels of similar charges filed by an unaffiliated union of district principals in August. Among other accusations, they alleged the firings and reassignments earlier this year were retaliation for union-related activities.

The Things Parents Don't Talk About With Their Kids ... But Should |
|
A majority of parents rarely if ever discuss race/ethnicity, gender, class or other categories of social identity with their kids, according to a new, nationally representative survey of more than 6,000 parents conducted by Sesame Workshop and NORC at the University of Chicago. The researchers behind Sesame Street say the fact that so many families aren't talking about these issues is a problem because children are hardwired to notice differences at a young age — and they're asking questions.
