How much do you know about vaping? |
|
In presentations to educators and parents, OCDE Prevention Coordinator Stephan Lambert displays some of the electronic cigarettes and vaping devices that have been confiscated at schools. His point is quickly and visually evident — these don’t look like smoking devices. Some closely resemble flash drives, highlighters or correction tape. Others could be easily mistaken for makeup cases, credit card holders or batteries. |

‘I’m excited about everything!’ Students return to class as Newport-Mesa opens new school year |
|
As a school bus approached Adams Elementary School in Costa Mesa on Tuesday morning, several teachers and new Principal Stacy de Boom-Howard stood on the sidewalk ready to welcome students to the 2018-19 school year. In some ways, Tuesday also marked de Boom-Howard’s first day of school. She is taking the helm after serving as principal on special assignment in the Newport-Mesa Unified School District for five years, focusing on math, science, music and physical education programs. |

New ‘friendlier’ look coming for California’s school dashboard |
|
The much-maligned California School Dashboard is getting a makeover.
The dashboard is the website that rates districts, schools and student groups on test scores, student suspensions and a range of measures on a scale of five colors. It’s a key element of the state’s new school accountability system, which emphasizes performance on individual indicators without a single summative rating like a letter grade.

Rare mix of disorders could require out-of-state placement |
|
A student diagnosed with emotional disturbance as well as a complex autoimmune disorder would get educational services as well as room and board at a Utah facility, under a proposal pending before the state board. The Chico Unified School District has asked the board to waive state requirements that out-of-state placement for a student with disabilities must be to a facility that has been certified by the California Department of Education to provide the needed services. |
