Lawsuit challenges leadership of Buena Park school for special education students |
|
A half-dozen parents and donors have filed a lawsuit accusing the Speech and Language Development Center in Buena Park of not upholding its mission and are asking a judge to turn stewardship of the nonprofit campus over to a recently-ousted, longtime leader. Their attorney accuses the center’s current board of directors, as well as a recently-hired CEO, of gutting the school’s administration by firing a principal and three vice principals. |

Circle up: Teaching social-emotional skills year round |
|
Creating places that feel safe for students has been the raison d’être of summer programs like Aim High, as it has been for hundreds of after-school programs in school districts across the state. Yet for many school principals who are casting about for ways to improve students’ sense of physical and emotional safety — and in doing so, students’ interest in being at school and learning — the idea of calling on summer school and after-school experts hasn’t occurred to them. But that is starting to change. |

CA’s ESSA plan finalized but doesn’t address all questions |
|
The final draft of California’s plan to implement the new federal education law purposefully leaves out key goals and objectives in an effort to ensure state policies will prevail. The California Board of Education, which will consider the final draft plan at its regular September meeting, has expressed on numerous occasions its intent to emphasis state law and regulations as defined by the Local Control Funding Formula and the Local Control Accountability Plans. |

More LAUSD students are finishing all college-prerequisite courses — but not always with high grades |
|
The Los Angeles Unified School District expects its high schoolers to take all of the courses required to get into a four-year state university in California. This year, more of the district's students met that expectation. L.A. Unified Superintendent Michelle King announced Tuesday that 85 percent of last year's high school senior class passed the full sequence of courses that serve as pre-requisites for admission to a University of California or California State University school. |

Teen pregnancy prevention program in LAUSD and Compton fighting for survival after federal cuts |
|
Last month, over 80 teen pregnancy prevention programs around the country got word they are facing a fiscal cliff. The federal Office of Adolescent Health, overseen by the Trump Administration's Department of Health and Human Services, informed researchers and educators their grant funding will be cut short. For most, that means ending curriculum and data gathering two years early.
One of the programs left reeling from the news serves students and parents in Los Angeles and Compton Unified School Districts. It's called "Keeping It Real Together."
