Judge denies school board member's request for a restraining order against Huntington blogger |
|
An Orange County Superior Court judge denied a local school board member's petition seeking a permanent restraining order against a Huntington Beach blogger during a hearing Wednesday. Attorney Jeffrey W. Shields filed the petition on behalf of Ocean View School District trustee Gina Clayton-Tarvin, 46, who alleged in court documents that Charles Keeler Johnson, 56, has threatened her on social media and at school board meetings, causing her to "fear for my own safety and for that of my immediate family members." |

How Predatory Teachers Stay on the Job |
|
Settlements that forbid victims from speaking out. Poor record-keeping. Inconsistent policies. Union protections, costly litigation, disbelief. Records from districts across San Diego – as well as powerful accounts from students, parents and educators – shed light on some of the factors that help public school employees accused of sexual harassment and misconduct evade accountability, even when administrators or investigators decide that student complaints are credible. |

Gov. Brown to release California budget amid growing revenue |
|
California Gov. Jerry Brown releases his last state budget proposal Friday, kicking off a month of negotiations with the Legislature about how to spend a growing budget surplus. The Democratic governor last pegged the surplus at $6.1 billion in January and proposed spending almost none of it, preferring to direct all but $300 million to reserves. Since then revenue during the busy April tax-filing season came in even higher than expected. |
