Ensuring success of all students the theme of three-day conference |
|
More than 3,000 educators from throughout California are gathering this week for a conference aimed at sharing practices that support the academic, behavioral and social-emotional success of all students. “All our students have potential,” State Superintendent Tony Thurmond told attendees on Monday during the third annual California Multi-Tiered System of Support (MTSS) Professional Learning Institute (PLI).
“It’s up to all of you to bring out that potential. It’s up to all of you to know their names, faces and stories,” Thurmond said.

California Lottery earns $7 billion a year. But are schools getting a fair share? |
|
The state Legislature has added another audit to the list of investigations into the California State Lottery, this one based on questions over whether the agency is giving enough money to schools as required by state law. The department has been under scrutiny since employees alleged misconduct among senior executives in an anonymous letter last summer to former Gov. Jerry Brown. The state Justice Department has launched an investigation, and the State Controller’s Office has identified inappropriate spending on travel.

LA Unified’s spending plan should be rejected and rewritten, says advocates’ complaint |
|
A public interest law firm that has bird-dogged Los Angeles Unified’s spending has filed a formal complaint demanding that the state’s largest school district redo its 2019-20 school accountability plan. The complaint argues that the district wrote a vague and deficient Local Control and Accountability Plan — or LCAP – that fails to meet the state’s transparency requirements on how it will spend $1.2 billion in state funding dedicated to high-needs students.

Back to school means picking up musical instruments for Rowland elementary students |
|
Students at Rowland Unified on Monday made a beeline to Rowland Instructional Center to pick up musical instruments. The district’s “Music for All” program has every elementary student, about 6,000, take part in music education each week during the school day. Students in first- through third grades attend general music education lessons. Students in fourth grade can choose general music or learn a string instrument; and fifth- and sixth-graders can select strings, band or general music.

Native American Enrollment In Community College Has Plummeted 60% In 20 Years. Here's Why |
|
The numbers scream at you: in the 1997-1998 academic year, there were about 26,000 Native American students enrolled in California's community college system. Twenty years later, that number was down to about 10,000. Community college administrators offer a few explanations, including a general decline in the student population and a federally mandated counting change instituted about a decade ago.
