Q&A: OCDE works to remove barriers and align resources for families experiencing homelessness |
|
Jeanne Awrey says people are often shocked to learn that Orange County is home to approximately 28,000 homeless students. “That’s about 5.5 percent of our overall student population that has been consistently homeless,” she says. “We really haven’t dipped below 5.5 percent.” As the coordinator for the Orange County Department of Education’s homeless education program, Awrey oversees the HOPES Collaborative, which stands for Homeless Outreach Promoting Educational Success. |

|
The race for the state’s top schools job has long followed a familiar pattern: A state legislator, anointed by the Democratic establishment and the teachers unions, faces off against political outsiders who want to bust up the Sacramento status quo. This year’s election for state superintendent of public instruction sticks to that trend with Assemblyman Tony Thurmond facing three challengers, including main contender, Marshall Tuck. |

No debate over special ed teacher shortage, just remedy |
|
The governor’s plan to provide $100 million in one-time money to support the preparation and retention of special education teachers probably won’t solve California’s long-standing shortages, a representative of the non-partisan Legislative Analyst said Tuesday. Last year the state issued about 12,000 emergency teaching permits for all classrooms and is on track to issue about the same number this year. Along with technical subjects—like math and science–the greatest shortage statewide is in special education. |
