Santa Ana Unified pays seven figures to settle 38-year-old sexual abuse case |
Tenisha Steen was a 16-year-old student at Valley High School in Santa Ana when she became pregnant after having sex with her sociology teacher. Her daughter is now 38 years old. Thanks to a 2019 California law that gives survivors of childhood sexual abuse a three-year window to sue, no matter when the alleged abuse occurred, Steen filed a lawsuit against Santa Ana Unified School District. Her attorneys said Tuesday that the lawsuit was recently settled for more than $1 million, though they declined to give an exact figure.

As the pandemic set in, charter schools saw their highest enrollment growth since 2015, 42-state analysis shows |
Charter schools experienced more growth in 2020-21 — the first full year of the pandemic— than they’ve seen in the past six years, according to preliminary data released earlier this month from the National Alliance for Public Charter Schools.
In contrast to traditional public schools, which saw a significant, 1.4 million drop in student enrollment during the tumultuous year, charter schools in 39 states saw an influx of 240,000 new students — a 7 percent increase over last year, the Alliance’s review showed.
