School board gives green light to La Habra City School District reorganization plan |
|
The La Habra City School District board has approved a plan to reconfigure schools to create magnet and specialized schools. The school board’s approval lays the groundwork for changes that will ultimately result in Washington Middle School serving seventh- and-eight-grade students, Los Positas Elementary School and Imperial Middle School eventually merging in 2020 into one kindergarten through eighth-grade campus and the remaining schools becoming kindergarten through sixth-grade campuses. |

Linda Vista students learn what Veterans Day means for their families |
|
For Linda Vista Elementary School students, Veterans Day is more than a holiday from school. The students learned, first-hand, about the sacrifices and conditions encountered by those fighting for our country in Afghanistan, Vietnam, Europe, Korea and throughout the world, during conflicts as far back as World War I.
Every student in Kellie Vella’s fifth-grade class was asked to speak to, or learn about, a family member who had served in a branch of the military.

New threat of high school shootings in Anaheim and Buena Park surfaces, but there’s no evidence it’s credible. |
|
A possible copycat threat has been discovered on social media claiming that a shooting spree at Anaheim and Buena Park high schools will be carried out on Friday, Nov. 17, authorities said. The post, uncovered by Anaheim police Wednesday, Nov. 15, on Instagram, indicated the wrong person has been arrested in connection with a previous threat of shootings at Western, Magnolia and Cypress high schools in Anaheim, and Buena Park High School, Sgt. Daron Wyatt said. |

Legislative Analyst predicts healthy state revenues next year for schools, community colleges |
|
The Legislative Analyst’s Office is projecting robust growth in state revenue for K-12 schools and community colleges in the coming year. The LAO is predicting that the schools and community colleges will get $3.2 billion more in 2018-19 under Proposition 98, the constitutional formula that determines minimum school funding. That would be an increase of 4.3 percent, bringing the Prop. 98 total to $77.7 billion, according to the LAO report released Wednesday. |

Is the NorCal shooting a textbook case for how schools should handle similar incidents? |
|
On Tuesday, a gunman opened fire in the small Northern California town of Rancho Tehama Reserve, about 130 miles north of Sacramento, killing at least four and wounding many others before being shot dead by police. The 45-minute shooting spree occurred at multiple locations, including an elementary school. The school had a locked front gate, which the gunman rammed through with his truck. It’s reported that school officials heard the gunshots first and immediately put the campus into lockdown, but the sequence of events is still unclear as a number of scenes are under investigation. |

These fifth graders tell you what the future will be like – in song |
|
Fifth graders from Huntington Park Elementary have spent the past few weeks imagining the future of health, artificial intelligence, communication, homes and food, travel, and the environment – then working in small groups to write songs about those possible futures. It's all part of a program offered by the Los Angeles Master Chorale called Voices Within. |
