In a San Francisco high school, the scars of remote schooling linger |
|
There’s chaos all around as Am’Brianna Daniels takes her seat in math class, stares at her paper and tries to catch up. Classmates are chattering, checking their phones, not paying much attention to the teacher at the whiteboard, who is trying to prod his precalculus students to describe the difference between the red and blue graphs on the screen in front of them. |

Why some California school districts are changing how students earn grades |
|
Some of California’s largest school districts are trying an unconventional tactic to help students re-engage in school after distance learning and boost their chances of acceptance into the state’s public colleges: by dropping D and F grades. Los Angeles Unified, Oakland Unified, Sacramento City Unified, San Diego Unified and other districts are phasing out grades below a C for high school students. If a student fails a test or doesn’t complete their homework, they’ll be able to retake the test and get more time to turn in assignments. |

Alpine Union to allow in-person learning off campus for unvaccinated students |
|
Alpine Union School District, a small district in San Diego County, has plans to allow unvaccinated students to keep learning in person, with district teachers, but off campus, to get around the state vaccine mandate. According to The Washington Post, the district’s superintendent, Rich Newman, wrote a letter to parents saying, “This unique program is the first of its kind designed to provide in-person learning to students who would not be able to attend school on campus if not vaccinated.” |

LAUSD Monitoring System Leaked Names Of Students Who Tested Positive For COVID |
|
The computer system used by the Los Angeles Unified School District to keep track of coronavirus sent out emails about students who tested positive to people outside their families. More than a week later, the district has not provided any guidance to those who received the information. According to LAUSD spokesperson Lourdes Valentine, Microsoft “inadvertently sent emails containing COVID-19 test result information to a limited number of unauthorized people, including other Los Angeles Unified parents” on Nov. 22. |

Judge denies parents group's request to block San Diego Unified's vaccine mandate |
|
A judge denied a temporary restraining order request Thursday from local parents group Let Them Choose to block the San Diego Unified School District's COVID-19 vaccine mandate, though another hearing was scheduled for later this month to revisit the issue. The group is seeking to suspend enforcement of the district's vaccine policy prior to Dec. 20, when all students over age 16 must receive their second vaccine dose. |
