VIDEO: Santa Ana students parlay Spyder3D internship into employment straight out of high school |
What started as a work-based learning opportunity with state-of-the-art manufacturing equipment has turned into full-time employment for two recent graduates of the Santa Ana Unified School District. For the latest OC Pathways success story, we paid a visit to the Spyder3D headquarters in Brea, where Victoria Dueñas and Vanessa Martinez talked about their journey from the SpyderLab club at Saddleback High School to a summer program that ultimately led to jobs straight out of high school.
You can watch their story in the brief video above, produced by OCDE’s Media Services team.

A record number of efforts to recall school board candidates in California |
Fifty members of school boards in California can identify with the ordeal that ended on Sept. 14 for Gov. Gavin Newsom. They too have been subjects of recall campaigns in 2021. Nationwide, 66 recall efforts involving 171 school board members have been launched this year, according to Ballotpedia, which tracks recalls of public officials. A third of those recall efforts — 22, with many targeting two to four board members — have been in California.
Both are records.

Parents and teachers who have picked up references over the past five years to the development of a “growth model” to measure student progress on standardized test scores in California now have a Student Growth Toolkit to explain what it is, why it’s important and when it will be put into actual use (hint: no time soon). On Monday, the California Department of Education posted the information, which includes Frequently Asked Questions, flyers and a video explainer.
