Samueli High’s first graduating class is off to college |
|
Violeta Vega looked out on her fellow Samueli Academy graduates, from her podium spot as class valedictorian, and called them “trailblazers.”
A lot of people used that word Monday. It was a theme raised by nearly every speaker who addressed the 114 graduates celebrating the first commencement of the Santa Ana public charter. The academy’s graduation was seen by many as an affirmation that an experiment in education and economics is succeeding.

Pilot program at UCI to slash tuition in half for incoming freshmen |
|
In a twist to boost enrollment of California residents, UC Irvine is launching a pilot program that lets up to 500 incoming freshman next fall pay about half the price of first-year admission. The Anteater Leadership Academy program would let students take fully-accredited courses, taught by accredited instructors in the Division of Continuing Education during their freshman year, paying tuition of $6,315, a savings of about $6,000. Students also would take a leadership course, something the school considers an incentive for those in the program. |

Gov. Brown agrees not to hold back money from California schools next year |
|
California school districts won’t have to wait an extra year to get nearly $1 billion in one-time funding, as Gov. Jerry Brown proposed last month. And after-school and summer program providers will see their first funding increase in more than a decade, under the terms of the 2017-18 state budget that legislative leaders and the Brown administration negotiated last week. |
