Elementary school library gets an IKEA makeover in Costa Mesa |
|
The library at Paularino Elementary School in Costa Mesa was anything but quiet the past few weeks as volunteers completed a full remodel, courtesy of the city’s IKEA furniture store. After a celebratory flag ceremony and ribbon cutting Friday morning, Paularino students were brought in one class at a time to tour the new-look library. “It’s beautiful!” one student called out. “I want to live here!” yelled another. |

Pasadena’s plan to give a part of its sales tax to schools is modeled after Santa Monica — here’s how it works |
|
In addition to a measure asking Pasadena voters if the city should raise its sales tax by 0.75 percent, there will be another, perhaps more confusing one on the Nov. 6 ballot: if one-third of the estimated $21 million in extra annual tax proceeds should go to Pasadena Unified schools. The schools-related question is an advisory one, meaning the measure is meant to gauge residents’ interest in the idea — nothing happens automatically if it passes. It would be up to the City Council to decide whether to send that money to the schools. |

Red tape chokes school data system |
|
A cumbersome and unorganized data management system continues to crimp the ability of policymakers to answer even basic questions about the performance of California’s 10,000 schools, according to a report released today by a team of scholars affiliated with Stanford University. Although California has taken steps in recent years to improve the collection of and access to the mounds of data being generated everyday by the public school system, the state remains far behind what is being done elsewhere nationally, a research team coordinated by the university in conjunction with the Policy Analysis for California Education, or PACE, said. |

District Delights in Spanish Teacher’s Success |

“I laugh every day with my students. When you tap into the joy that students bring, every day is special.” Jason Fritze’s words embody the upbeat attitude he brings to his Spanish classes. Now in his 10th year with the district, Fritze radiates happiness at El Morro and Top of the World Elementary. On Aug. 28, Fritze’s positive impact was recognized by the Laguna Beach Unified School District, as Superintendent Jason Viloria presented him with the 2018 Spirit of Laguna Award. |
