Honoring Orange County’s classified school employees of 2022 |
|
There is a common thread that connects the nine exemplary school workers who were announced as the 2022 Orange County Classified School Employees of the Year. The contributions they make toward their schools, districts and students go beyond what is included in their job descriptions. They take pride in their profession and that translates to better learning environments for educators and students. |

State and county officials offer support to schools impacted by Coastal Fire |
|
With their own campus temporarily closed as a result of the Coastal Fire, more than 300 students from Moulton Elementary School in the Capistrano Unified School District were directed to nearby Wood Canyon Elementary on Thursday morning.
At 8:15 a.m., the Moulton students were grouped with their teachers in a multipurpose room. Less than 30 minutes later, they had seamlessly transitioned into 14 classrooms set up by a team of custodians, Principal Chris Dembiec said.

Orange County Board of Education loses lawsuit against Superintendents Mijares, Thurmond |
|
Calling the issue “moot,” a judge on Friday threw out a lawsuit brought by the Orange County Board of Education against county and state school officials over the Orange County Department of Education’s 2019 budget.
Orange County Superior Court Judge Martha K. Gooding ruled in favor of the defendants in the suit — Orange County Department of Education Superintendent Al Mijares and California School Superintendent Tony Thurmond — saying the 2019 budget has been settled.
The board’s decision to file the lawsuit — one of several filed in recent years by the politically outspoken board — has been criticized by some as a waste of taxpayer money.

Billions more for California schools, colleges under Newsom's revised budget |
|
With state revenues continuing to defy projections, schools and community colleges would receive a record $128 billion in funding in 2022-23 under Gov. Gavin Newsom’s revised state budget, which he presented on Friday. That’s a remarkable $20 billion more than the governor proposed just five months ago and $35 billion, mainly in one-time state funding, above what the Legislature passed in the current budget. |

Despite California's Record Budget Surplus, No Easy Solutions For Longstanding Child Care Challenges |
|
Gov. Gavin Newsom’s latest spending proposal funds more public school seats for 4-year-olds and extends policies that helped prop up child care providers during the pandemic. Advocates say the state isn’t investing enough into the long-term stability of an underfunded child care and early education system. “The system has been built on inequity, disinvestment [and] how do we spend the least amount possible,” said Max Arias, chair of the union representing about 40,000 child care providers in the state. “It's never been built around quality, access for everyone.” |
