Newport-Mesa task force recommends new programs, resources after student swastika party |
|
The Newport-Mesa Unified School District Human Relations Task Force recommended adding educational programs and increasing resources for parents Tuesday night following months of discussion on how to foster greater cultural understanding and acceptance on campuses. Among the proposals the task force presented to the district board of trustees were conducting a district-wide equity audit, creating a review of workshops available to parents on topics such as empathy and compassion and implementing the Anti-Defamation League’s “No Place for Hate” anti-bigotry and bullying program as year-round curriculum.

Charter School Case Exposes Big Loopholes in How the State Funds Schools |
|
Last month, an explosive indictment filed in San Diego alleged a charter school scam that was both lucrative and audacious: Two men, along with a handful of close employees, managed to siphon $80 million of public education funds into “consulting” companies they controlled. The grift was multi-faceted, and it is unclear whether state officials have a plan to deal with all of the vulnerabilities and loopholes exposed by those lesser-known aspects of the scandal.

Audit finds weaknesses in UC admissions process, echoing national scandal |
|
University of California auditors found weaknesses in 11 admissions processes — including potential conflicts of interest among application readers and failing to verify whether students won the awards they said they did — in a report presented to the UC regents Wednesday that echoes problems exposed in a recent nationwide admissions scandal. While UC campuses generally do a good job of protecting against admissions fraud, there are holes in the system that should be patched, UC auditors Alexander Bustamante and Matthew Hicks told the regents meeting in San Francisco.
