Thousands of kids now ready for school after backpack, school supply giveaway in Anaheim |
|
Thousands of children and their parents packed the parking lot at Angel Stadium, Sunday morning, Aug. 4 — not in advance of an Angels game, but rather to receive a free backpack filled with school supplies from Karina’s Backpack Project by the Joy of Sharing. Karina’s Backpack Project, the brainchild of 15-year-old Karina Tarsadia, was created to provide low-income families with supplies for elementary- and middle-school students.

Following Oakland teacher strike, 20 principals step down |
|
After a tumultuous 2018-19 school year, during which teachers went on strike for seven days, Oakland Unified agreed to make more than $20 million in budget cuts and the Alameda County civil grand jury released a scathing report alleging district-wide administrative dysfunction, 20 principals — around a quarter of the district’s total — left their schools.

Meet the East Bay girls taking on tech’s gender gap |
|
As Silicon Valley’s gender gap and toxic “bro culture” continue to make headlines, two East Bay teens took it upon themselves to do something about it, and created a coding boot camp to help middle school girls become the next programming all-stars. Head Royce senior Chloe Beittel and Quarry Lane senior Lucinda Quintal came up with the idea for the “Girls Get Coding” camp after Quintal noticed fewer and fewer girls in her computer science classes as they got more advanced, she said.

Superintendent OK’d active shooter drill that left students crying. Board takes action |
|
The superintendent of a Fresno County school district will be formally reprimanded for his part in an active shooter drill at an elementary school. The Raisin City Schools board voted 4-1 Monday to reprimand Juan Sandoval instead of suspending or terminating him after he approved the drill that terrified unprepared teachers and students in June. The drill involved an employee wearing a mask, holding a fake rifle and banging on classroom doors.
