Analysis of Covid funding reveals California districts have spent little so far to address learning loss |
|
One year after Congress passed record funding in Covid relief, a new analysis reveals that California school districts so far have spent little of it on efforts to address learning setbacks caused by the pandemic. This despite data that indicates that learning slowed, especially among the youngest students, and gaps in achievement between Black and Hispanic students and their white and Asian peers widened during distance learning in 2020-21. |

Schools highly segregated, despite more diversity |
|
Schools remain highly segregated by race, ethnicity and socioeconomics, a new report from the U.S. Government Accountability Office finds. According to the report, more than a third of students attended a school with a population that was predominantly of the same race or ethnicity, during the 2020-21 school year. “You have large portions of minority children not only attending essentially segregated schools, but schools that have less resources available to them,” Jackie Nowicki, the director of K-12 education at the GAO and lead author of the report, told NPR. |

Children learn about the James Webb Space Telescope at Air & Space Museum |
|
At San Diego’s Air & Space Museum, you can see lots of planes. In fact, if you want to know the history of aviation, this is a great place to come. But, on Thursday, the emphasis was on space — way, way out there in space — and the James Webb Space Telescope. Unless you happen to be an astrophysicist, it’s hard to know what to make of the images from the Webb telescope, which is mounted on a spacecraft that’s now orbiting the sun. |
