Nearly $2 million later, Santa Ana Kiwanis scholarships continue to help students reach the next level in their education |
|
When selflessness arises, money can be worth far more than the figures on a check.
At the annual Santa Ana Kiwanis foundation awards this week, a series of scholarships to 16 young adults struggling to pay for college brought tears of delight, smiles, happy hearts. But more significantly, the scholarship recipients knew — most for the first time — that a group of strangers deeply cared.

For new L.A. schools chief Austin Beutner, some key unions are giving no honeymoon period |
|
In the less than two weeks since Austin Beutner took charge of Los Angeles schools, unions representing teachers and administrators have staged a job action and a protest.
They've made it clear that they will not give the new superintendent the traditional honeymoon period, and they are bashing him for his wealth and lack of experience running either a school or a school district.

California superintendent candidates oppose big money from special interests |
|
The leading candidates for state superintendent of public instruction on Wednesday strongly opposed state campaign finance laws that have allowed millions of dollars from charter school backers and labor unions to pour into their race. Marshall Tuck and Assemblyman Tony Thurmond also pledged during a candidate forum hosted by EdSource that, if elected, each would be independent of the major donors that are supporting their campaigns through independent expenditure committees. |

Candidates for California schools’ chief vow to wield more influence—but for what? |
|
Most voters are unfamiliar with the state’s superintendent for public instruction, even though the public has selected one at the polls every four years since the Gold Rush. And you can’t blame them. The position has limited power. The superintendent can’t decide how public schools are evaluated, determine their curriculum, control the amount of state funding they receive nor make it tougher for teachers to earn tenure. |
