The beginning of the month marked the one-year anniversary of Lowell Joint School District blazing the way as the first district in the state to transfer from one county to another via a ballot measure. In March 2020, more than 70 percent of Lowell Joint voters backed Measure O, which formally authorized the transfer of governance to Orange County from Los Angeles County. District Superintendent Jim Coombs commemorated the anniversary by speaking before the Orange County Board of Education and Superintendent of Schools Dr. Al Mijares on July 7, as he stood beside Lowell Joint school board President Melissa Salinas. |

Bay Area school district becomes first in California to screen all student athletes for heart conditions |
|
Student athletes in the Campbell Union High School District will now be screened for heart conditions this school year through a partnership with a Los Gatos-based nonprofit. The district’s board of trustees partnered with the Kyle J. Taylor Foundation to screen its student athletes in grades 9 and 11 for heart abnormalities or conditions to prevent sudden cardiac arrest. The Los Gatos-based foundation was formed in honor of Kyle John Taylor, a Leigh High School graduate who died of sudden cardiac arrest in 2019, despite appearing healthy and normal. |

Impacts of learning loss, trauma will last for years, GAO finds |
|
More than 60% of teachers said their students ended the 2020-21 school year behind where they would be ordinarily — with impacts especially pronounced for younger students, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office. The report was based on a survey of 2,862 K-12 teachers nationwide and examined the impact of pandemic-related learning loss and trauma on students as well as teachers. While some students excelled during distance learning, the report found, many suffered academic and emotional setbacks that will take years to overcome. |
