Alison Collins' lawsuit comes amid S.F. school district crisis. The real losers could be the students |
|
San Francisco’s school district was already juggling a difficult classroom reopening, a departing superintendent, tattered finances and bitter leadership battles when one school board member sued the public agency and her fellow commissioners this week, magnifying the crisis. The federal lawsuit filed by school board member Alison Collins is a rare legal challenge by an elected official against peers and a public agency, with taxpayers on the hook for attorney costs and most of any settlement or damages that could be awarded in the case that stems from a thread of tweets.

Day camps, paying teens to study: Summer school looks different. Will it help kids catch up? |
|
Limited in-person instruction has led to higher absences, more disruptions and widespread signs of reduced learning, especially for the most disadvantaged students. But with new federal money to support reopening buildings and extended learning, districts and cities are hustling to spur academic, social and emotional recovery this summer. New plans include free full day camps at schools, academic lessons shared across states, elaborate experiential projects, and internships for older students.

Amid pandemic, infants especially need quality child care, reformers say |
|
Children are born ready to learn. In the first year of life, the brain doubles, with about 90% of brain growth happening before kindergarten. However, only 1 in 3 eligible children under 5 years old take part in California’s publicly funded early learning and care programs. To make matters worse this year, 3 out of 4 California parents with children under 5 are worried their education and development will suffer because of the pandemic, according to a recent survey.
