Hundreds of schools vulnerable to outbreaks because of vaccine reluctance, data suggests |
|
A measles outbreak that began at Disneyland in 2014 led California lawmakers to tighten up vaccine requirements, eliminating personal and religious exemptions for school attendance. That law took effect in 2016, but the state’s most recent vaccination data — from the 2018-19 school year — show that nearly a quarter of schools in Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties still had vaccination rates low enough to be considered vulnerable to disease outbreaks by the California Department of Public Health.

Graduating students saluted … by circus performers |
|
Parades have become a common thing these days, celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, graduations and more. On Saturday, June 13, the Green Valley neighborhood in Fountain Valley was treated to a unique version of the celebration. The parade saluted all school-age children in the community and included music by local deejay John Borack riding in the iconic Fountain Valley Bodyworks giant red wagon. Masuda School Principal Jay Adams and Fountain Valley High Principal Morgan Smith were on hand for the fun.

Even the Most Firm School Reopening Plans Are Up in the Air |
|
On Tuesday, the San Diego Unified School District Board of Education is set to “approve plans for the safe reopening of school facilities ahead of the 2020-21 academic year.” If parents, educators or students want to comment on the plan, they have to email publictestimony@sandi.net with no more than 150 words by 9 a.m. There’s one thing missing, though: a draft plan. The agenda has no documents or anything to actually comment on.

LAUSD Superintendent Wants School Police Ban On Pepper Spray And Controversial Neck Hold |
|
No more use of pepper spray or controversial carotid holds — that's Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Austin Beutner's recommendation for the district's police force to the board of education, announced in his weekly update to the school community.
The recommendation comes amid the ongoing debate over the future of school police on LAUSD campuses. Student activists and the union representing LAUSD teachers, United Teachers Los Angeles, are calling for eliminating school police, while the unions representing school officers and administrators are pushing back.

California Legislature OK’s budget, but changes coming |
|
Facing an estimated $54.3 billion budget deficit because of the coronavirus, California lawmakers on Monday approved a state spending plan that rejects most of Gov. Gavin Newsom’s proposed cuts to public education and health care with the hope that Congress will send the state more money by Oct. 1 to cover the shortfall.
But the budget likely won’t become law because it does not have the backing of Newsom, who has the power to sign, veto or alter whatever the Legislature sends him.
