Two-day OC festival all about making youth water wise |
|
While rain was still falling Thursday, March 30, several thousand students were learning about the importance of conservation for when it doesn’t. More than 4,500 Orange County students participated in the Children’s Water Education Festival hosted by the Orange County Water District, which manages the region’s groundwater basin. The third-, fourth- and fifth-graders were able to visit more than 50 hands-on activity booths and lectures, learning about water, pollution and the environment from local and state water agency experts. |

Poor, rural students who lack access to advanced math are unlikely to pursue careers in STEM |
|
Rural high schools, small high schools and high schools that serve historically marginalized students don't provide the same access to advanced math classes as other schools, new research shows. As a result, students who attend those schools may be less likely to pursue future courses or careers in science, technology, engineering and math and miss out on admission or financial aid to college and higher-paying job opportunities. |

Petition seeks resignations, censure of Temecula school board members |
|
A political action committee has launched a petition calling for the immediate resignation of two conservative Christian Temecula school board members and the censure of another. One Temecula Valley PAC created the petition Monday, March 27, on change.org. The group’s goal is to gauge the amount of community support for the resignations of board members Joseph Komrosky and Jen Wiersma and for the censure of member Danny Gonzalez for what it called pushing a national political agenda onto the Temecula Valley Unified School District. |
