Proposed bill would establish baseline funding for schools inside juvenile detention facilities |
|
A proposed bill seeks to establish baseline funding for juvenile hall schools and county community schools plus additional funding between $150,000 and $300,000, depending on the type of school. Currently, such schools receive funding based on average daily attendance. Supporters of the bill say this is too unstable given the declining numbers of youth in detention across the state plus the transitory nature of the juvenile court system. |

Supreme Court rules for deaf student in education case |
|
The Supreme Court ruled unanimously Tuesday for a deaf student who sued his public school system for providing an inadequate education. The case is significant for other disabled students who allege they were failed by school officials.
The case the justices ruled in involves Miguel Luna Perez, who attended public school in Sturgis, Michigan. Perez’s lawyers told the court that for 12 years the school system neglected the boy and lied to his parents about the progress he was making, permanently stunting his ability to communicate.

Former Paso Robles school board member hired as critical race theory ‘expert’ in Temecula |
|
Temecula Valley schools will pay a consultant $15,000 to make presentations to teachers on critical race theory, though many voiced opposition to the idea during a crowded Tuesday night, March 14, meeting. Approved on a 3-2 vote by the school board’s new conservative Christian majority, the move was proposed by Temecula Valley Unified School District board member Danny Gonzalez. Joseph Komrosky, Gonzalez and Jen Wiersma voted to hire Christopher Arend, a former school board member in Paso Robles; Allison Barclay and Steven Schwartz voted no. |
