First-grade textbook hails politician as ‘champion’ of gay rights. Some say it goes too far. |
|
California voters are about to decide whether to keep Lt. Gov. Gavin Newsom in Sacramento — in the Governor’s Office. But just a short distance away, Newsom is appearing in a first grade textbook that critics call propaganda. The textbook, being tested in the Elk Grove Unified School District, refers to then-San Francisco mayor Newsom’s 2004 decision to order the city-county clerk to issue marriage licenses to same-sex couples. |

Lowell High School’s competitive selection process may violate state law |
|
San Francisco’s Lowell High School, ranked among the best public schools in the nation, has long admitted high academic achievers to secure its elite status, a practice that has not only led to racial inequities but also could be illegal. Lowell is among several public schools across California that use an academically competitive admission policy.
In the Anaheim Union High School District, Oxford Academy, a school for grades seven through 12, uses only test scores to admit students. It is often considered among the best public high schools in the state and in the top 10 nationwide.

Search lead test results in California school water |
|
A new state law requires California schools to test water for lead by July 1, 2019. Action is required if test results are higher than 15 parts per billion.
More than 3,700 schools have already conducted tests. This database shows the highest test result over the past two years at those schools. Lead is a toxic metal that can pose a health risk, especially to children.

Community Colleges to offer teacher credentialing programs |
|
Students in California may be able to earn a teaching credential at their local community college under a new law that aims to increase the number of educators throughout the state by reducing barriers for low-income and rural candidates.
Signed last week by Gov. Jerry Brown, SB 577 establishes the California Community College Teacher Credentialing Partnership Pilot Program, which authorizes three grants of up to $500,000 each to community colleges working in collaboration with California State University or University of California to provide teacher-credentialing programs.
