California to raise income limits to allow more children to qualify for subsidized child care |
|
The budget approved Thursday by the state Legislature responds to a long-sought demand from child care advocates that California raise the income eligibility limit so more low-income families qualify for subsidized child care. The budget for the coming fiscal year requires the Department of Finance to calculate income eligibility for subsidized child care based on the most recent state median income information. It will also adjust that number based on family size. |

The May runoff election for two seats on the Los Angeles Unified District school board has resulted in a new majority backed by charter school advocates. In addition to incumbent Monica Garcia, who won re-election in March, the two new board members who won in the May runoff are 28-year-old Kelly Gonez and 31-year-old Nick Melvoin. Both will join the board in July. As a public service, EdSource is publishing an edited transcript of interviews we conducted with Gonez and Melvoin about their priorities. |

Teacher shortage restricts training of new instructors |
|
With districts forced to rely on higher numbers of non-fully credentialed teachers to staff classrooms, educator preparation programs are finding fewer placements for student teachers who require the mentorship of fully credentialed instructors. The lack of openings for new teachers to train worries some state officials as an emerging cycle that will only exacerbate California’s teacher shortage. |

Students at Deaf and Hard of Hearing program produce music video to inspire bravery |
|
The theme for their music video was simple: Say what you want to say, and let the words fall out. I want to see you be brave. Students from OCDE’s Deaf and Hard of Hearing Program at University High and Venado Middle School in Irvine used Sara Bareilles’ hit song “Brave” to create their own music video with the goal of inspiring bravery among students with hearing disabilities. |

Before moving forward, some Brea Olinda High seniors take one final trip back |
|
Some members of Brea Olinda High School’s Class of 2017 took a quick detour on their way to walking at Wednesday’s commencement ceremony. Dressed in bright green caps and gowns, about 30 graduating seniors who previously attended Country Hills Elementary returned to their primary-school stomping grounds to reminisce — and to give the next generation a sneak preview of their own futures. |
