High cost of living and low wages drive up childhood poverty rate in California |
|
Nearly a quarter of California children 5 years old and younger live in poverty, according to a new report that examines the impact of the cost of living and family income on the state’s youngest residents. The report, titled “Reducing Child Poverty in California,” found that 31 percent of “poor” families spend more than half of their income on housing, making it difficult to meet basic needs, such as food and health care. |

Laguna Schools Bow to Judicial Order on Student Discipline |
|
Facing a contempt of court hearing, the Laguna Beach Unified School District has expunged the record of a high school senior disciplined for an off-campus incident with racial overtones. And while the contempt hearing scheduled for Monday, Dec. 18 was cancelled, attorneys for the school district returned to court anyway to file a new appeal of last week’s order by Orange County Superior Court Judge Ronald L. Bauer. |
