Mijares: Classified School Employee Week honors those who make teaching and learning possible |
|
In every school district and at every community college, you’ll find employees who quietly lay the foundation for teaching and learning while nurturing a culture of kindness. I’m referring to the women and men who keep our campuses clean, who maintain our educational technologies, who answer phone calls and are usually the first to greet students and their parents. I’m talking about those who feed our students, drive our school buses, run school and district offices, and provide vital instructional support. |

During the same period 30 local educational agencies have sought and received waivers from the California State Board of Education to make the same change, also under threat of lawsuits. |

|
Charter school advocates are far outpacing teachers unions in spending to support candidates for California governor and state schools chief. Wealthy donors who support charter schools and education reform have poured more than $22 million into independent committees to support former Los Angeles mayor Antonio Villaraigosa for governor and former schools executive Marshall Tuck for state schools chief. |
