LAUSD’s board broke the law when picking superintendent, complaint alleges |
|
County prosecutors are reviewing a complaint alleging that the Los Angeles Board of Education may have violated a state open-meetings law during its selection of a new superintendent – which the school district denies. Former investment banker and philanthropist Austin Beutner started his post last week as leader of the nation’s second largest school district. The board announced their pick on May 1 after a months-long process of searching and narrowing the list of contenders. |

San Jose principal becomes a U.S. citizen in front of her students |
|
Gloria Marchant has walked through the double doors of San Jose High School countless times in her four years as principal, but Tuesday was different.
The 44-year-old educator walked in as an immigrant and strolled out a newly minted American citizen after a ceremony before dozens of her students, many of them undocumented immigrants treading their own laborious paths to legalization.

Ryan Smith, executive director of Education Trust-West, an Oakland-based education policy nonprofit, said the new federal data “is maddening.” |

Bill aims to expand childhood lead exposure reporting |
|
More children who have been exposed to lead in California may be identified and receive support services under a bill pending before a key Senate panel. SB 1097, authored by Sen. Ben Hueso, D-San Diego, would impose greater reporting requirements on the California Department of Public Health regarding the number of children tested for lead exposure, and those found to have high levels of lead in their blood, and how continuous and adequate levels of case management are provided. |
