How San Bernardino administrators are learning the concerns of students walking to school |
|
School district officials walked a mile in their students’ shoes — more or less — before class Monday, stepping over broken glass and past stray dogs to get a better idea of the challenges students face walking to and from school. San Bernardino City Unified School District employees and others walked from 18 locations, each about a 20 minute walk from one of the district’s five mainstream high schools, with students joining many of the walks. |

CSU faculty rebels against changes in remedial and math education, calls for delay |
|
The California State University faculty is rebelling against recently announced changes in remedial education and math requirements at the 23-campus system and wants delays of at least a year. So far the university’s administration shows no indication of slowing down. But if the university’s governing board agrees with the faculty, one of the most ambitious education reform efforts in California higher education in decades could be delayed or overhauled. |

Michael Fullan, former dean of the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at of the University of Toronto—Canada’s primary education graduate school—has been following the development of the Local Control Funding Formula since its inception in 2012. |

Bills supporting diverse student body move to Gov. |
|
A pair of bills headed to the Governor’s desk will allow students to wear cultural adornments during graduation ceremonies, and will require schools to inform parents of English learners of their child’s language development progress. AB 81, authored by Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez Fletcher, D-San Diego, aims to ensure that parents know whether a school has classified their child as a “long-term English Learner” or an “at risk, long-term English learner” and what the implications of that classification might be. |
