Video from 2018 shows water polo athletes at Pacifica High in Garden Grove singing Nazi march song while giving ‘Heil Hitler’ salute |
|
Garden Grove Unified School District officials are facing questions about the handling of an anti-Semitic incident at Pacifica High last year. In a video posted on social media, about a dozen members of the 2018 boys’ water polo team are shown performing a Nazi marching song while extending their arms in a Hitler salute. The district issued a statement Monday, Aug. 19, saying the video was recorded in November of 2018 prior to an “off-campus student athletics banquet in an empty and unsupervised room at the facility.”

Clock ticking on dispute over vaccination exemptions |
|
A contentious, heavily amended attempt to tighten California’s mandatory vaccination law remains stalled in the Legislature with the deadline less than four weeks away.
The measure would crack down on doctors who write fake medical exemptions for children. It would require physicians to provide detailed information to the California Department of Public Health, including their name and medical license number, the reason for the patient’s exemption, and proof that the physician had seen the patient.

Amid tensions statewide, an embattled California charter school's quest ends badly |
|
Increasing school expenses and declining enrollments have heightened tensions between charter schools and school districts in California. From Oakland to Los Angeles and San Diego, districts with the largest numbers of charter schools, the fights over buildings are becoming more fraught, charter renewals more contested, positions of school boards more entrenched. Perhaps few disputes have matched the intensity of the one centered on Promise Academy.

Support grows nationwide for paying teachers more |
|
Most Americans believe that K-12 schools deserve more money, the federal government should chip in a bigger share of education costs and a college education — especially at community colleges — should be tuition-free, according a nationwide education poll released Tuesday. The annual poll by Education Next, an education journal that encourages school choice and charter schools, found a record level of bipartisan support for higher pay for teachers.

LBUSD Eyes Return to Live Streaming Meetings |
|
The Laguna Beach Unified School District’s Board of Education signaled Tuesday that it was willing to spend up to $60,000 over the next year to live-stream its meetings with captions that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
The School Board decided to stop live-streaming its meetings on May 14 after a member of the public complained the videos violated an ADA-requirement to assist hearing-impaired viewers.
