The clock is ticking: LAUSD board members have 60 days to decide how to fill Ref Rodriguez’s seat |
|
The ouster of Los Angeles Unified School District board member Ref Rodriguez — who resigned Monday after pleading guilty to money-laundering charges — means the remaining board members must now decide when and how to replace him. They have 60 days to decide a path forward, and the clock is ticking. Right now, board members have three options, said LA Unified’s general counsel David Holmquist: They can appoint someone to serve out the remainder of Rodriguez’s term, they can call for a special election which would likely be held next spring, or they can do both, appointing someone to serve until an election. |

|
A federal appeals court has upheld a lower court’s ban on the Chino Valley Unified school board’s years-long practice of mid-meeting prayer. “The prayers frequently advanced religion in general and Christianity in particular,” judges M. Margaret McKeown, Kim McLane Wardlaw and Wiley Y. Daniel wrote in an unsigned decision released by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Wednesday, July 25. |

Improving California school environments focus of pilot program |
|
Teachers and administrators throughout California will get additional training on how to improve school environments and implement alternatives to traditional discipline thanks to a state-funded partnership between two county education departments and UCLA. This week the departments of education in Orange and Butte counties, along with UCLA’s Center for the Transformation of Schools, announced a pilot program to develop a training curriculum based on multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS), an approach to learning and behavioral problems in which students progress through a range of interventions depending on their need levels. |

No Teen Lifeguard On Duty: Summer Jobs Are No Longer An Attraction |
|
A summer job, like lifeguarding or scooping ice cream, used to be a rite of passage for teens. Thirty years ago, nearly two-thirds of U.S. teenagers worked summer jobs. Twenty years ago, more than half of them did.
Now, only a third of teens are in summer jobs, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Proposition 5 would allow homeowners 55 and older to move to more expensive homes and keep their lower property tax bills from their old homes.
