Northwood students spent summer vacation building their own solar car |
|
Northwood High seniors started out on a project to construct a solar powered vehicle for a national competition, but with some help from a local company, discovered a more impactful purpose: Inspiring others to find alternative energy sources. About a year ago, Northwood students Zach Huang-Ogata, Justin Chen, Brian Ngyuen, Nathaniel Irwan, Ashwin Jagadish, Andrew Do, Harrison Ma and Anlon Zhu decided to compete in a solar car challenge.

Four Years Ago, Parents Wanted To Take Over This School. Now, It's Succeeding |
|
Four years ago, dissatisfied parents at 20th Street Elementary School were so unhappy with the L.A. Unified School District's management of the school that they threatened to invoke California's "parent trigger" law. The law allows parents at a school deemed "underperforming" to start a petition. If enough signed, the law lets parents "trigger" big changes — like closing the school down or, in 20th Street's case, converting to a charter school.

School Board Hires Law Firm to Fight Member’s Discrimination, Defamation Claims |
|
The dispute between a Laguna Beach school board member and the School District reached a potentially costly landmark Thursday, following a school board vote to spend up to $50,000 for a top law firm to defend the district in future litigation. Board President Jan Vickers, board member Carol Normandin, and board member James Kelly voted during a special meeting to approve an agreement with Rutan & Tucker, LLP. “The Board is resolute in its position that Dee Perry’s threat to initiate litigation and seek monetary damages is without merit,” Vickers wrote in a statement.
