Orange school district to spend $24 million on renovations of Fred Kelly Stadium |
|
At the recent July 3 celebration, Mayor Tita Smith announced to the large crowd they’ll have to celebrate American Independence elsewhere next year. Fred Kelly Stadium is getting a $24 million renovation that will temporarily close it after the next football season. The Orange Unified School District is expecting the nearly 50-year-old facility to take about 15 months to upgrade and that it would reopen in March 2020. The school board recently approved the plans. |

Placentia-Yorba Linda school district set to add state-required immigrant student rights policy |
|
A first-ever written policy outlining student rights regardless of immigration status has received a unanimous first vote from trustees of the Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified School District. The policy is mandated by state law for all public schools, including charter schools. Other North County elementary, high school and unified school districts have adopted or are in the process of adopting similar policies, some based on a state-developed model document. |

Higher pay, smaller classes, housing perks in San Francisco Bay Area district’s plan to attract teachers |
|
As a way to stem high teacher turnover, one San Francisco Bay Area district has taken a daring leap to boost teacher salaries and address escalating housing costs that drive teachers away. But the pay raises come with potential risk, as the West Contra Costa Unified school district will have to cut from some programs and find other savings to pay for the $37 million in salary increases for all employees over three years. |

Could LAUSD Tax Its Way Out Of A Budget Crisis? Better Question: Will Voters Let Them? |
|
If the Los Angeles Unified School District is so strapped for cash these days, school board member George McKenna recently asked, why can't the district simply raise taxes? LAUSD could put the question on the ballot and ask voters to approve it. "The longer we wait," McKenna argued last month, "the longer we go without solving the problem." The question is whether voters would get on board — and whether L.A. Unified ends up with egg on its face if they don't. |

LAUSD teachers take an official step toward a possible fall strike |
|
United Teachers Los Angeles leaders said officially Monday that — after more than a year at the bargaining table — contract talks between Los Angeles Unified School District officials and the teachers union had reached an "impasse."
The declaration marks the first first formal step toward a possible strike in the coming school year. The last L.A. Unified teachers strike was in 1989.
