Newport-Mesa Unified picks interim head until replacement for Supt. Lee-Sung is found |

CUSD Trustees Approve Resolution on School Mask Guidance |
|
In an effort to get the California Department of Public Health’s attention, the Capistrano Unified School District Board of Trustees approved a symbolic resolution Wednesday urging a change in mask guidance for people on school campuses—effectively requesting masks be optional, particularly for students. Students, teachers, and school staff have been required to wear masks while indoors on campus during the COVID-19 pandemic. Whether they are required to do so is set by CDPH guidelines, and the school district has no jurisdiction on the matter.

San Diego Unified Ethnic Studies Expansion Sparks Debate Over How Race Taught In Schools |
|
Earlier this week, the San Diego Unified School Board unanimously approved a plan that will integrate anti-racism and ethnic studies education into its curriculum.
The vote was preceded by a protest of roughly two dozen people who were opposed to the effort — with some equating the new curriculum to components of critical race theory. This expansion of ethnic studies comes at a time of heightened racial awareness in San Diego, where many are considering how racism should be confronted in the classroom — especially after several racist incidents at local high schools.

Labor shortage complicates Newsom's plan for universal pre-K in California |
|
Gov. Gavin Newsom has pitched an ambitious expansion of child care and pre-kindergarten in California, but a severe labor shortage in early education — worsened by the pandemic — threatens to thwart his agenda. In his budget blueprint last month, Newsom proposed funding 100,000 new subsidized child care slots for lower income families and a year of free public pre-K, or "transitional kindergarten," for every 4-year-old in the state. But almost immediately after the announcement, the reality set in: There simply aren't enough teachers.
