El Modena High cheerleaders, dancers in Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade with Spirit of America groups |
|
Sixteen cheerleaders and dancers from El Modena High School in Orange will be beamed into homes across the country on Thursday, performing alongside hundreds of other teens as part of the Spirit of America groups in the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
The cheer and dance performance groups bring together students and members of studios from around the nation, who learn a common choreography that they rehearse together in the days before the big show on Thanksgiving Day.

Researchers urge changes to improve California’s education funding law |
|
California’s landmark funding reform law needs to be fixed to help meet its promise of raising the achievement of underperforming student groups, conclude two recently published research studies. While the reports’ authors and other advocates aren’t having major second thoughts about the Local Control Funding Formula, which has steered billions of dollars to designated student groups as intended, they point to new evidence that the funding formula has failed to significantly narrow the gap in achievement between targeted students — English language learners, low-income students, foster and homeless children — and those not entitled to substantial supplemental money. |

Some parents skeptical of San Francisco Unified recall effort |
|
As three San Francisco Unified school board members face a recall election in February, some parents fear that it could mean a halt to the progress that’s been made to expand opportunities for marginalized students. In a story published Monday, KQED spoke with Black and Latino parents who felt as though their voices have been drowned out in the recall election that has caught national attention. Recall advocates are frustrated with three of the district’s seven school board members since schools remained closed last school year despite private schools reopening. At the same time, the board took up other issues, including the renaming of schools and changing the admissions policy for Lowell High School, San Francisco’s elite public high school. |
