Principal kisses pig after students reach milestone goal of $35K |
|
McAuliffe Middle School Principal Dr. Ryan Weiss-Wright hasn’t had a good couple of weeks. He’s been hit in the face with a pie, made to wear a dough boy costume for a day at school and had to kiss a pig on the snout. But all the excitement was ultimately for his students. Weiss-Wright agreed to the incentives if the students reached certain milestones as part of the school’s annual fundraiser. |

Capo Unified Students Promote Diversity, Understanding Through ‘No Place for Hate’ Initiative |
|
This coming December, students at Dana Hills High School will stand against discrimination in a unique way. Kids on campus are welcome to create a holiday display that reflects a holiday personal to them, including Hanukkah and Kwanzaa, which will be displayed at the school during the first week of December. The cultural awareness project is one example of how students in the Capistrano Unified School District are working toward more understanding and less bigotry through the “No Place for Hate” initiative. |

Adviser to student newspaper faces suspension over refusal to censor name from story |
|
The adviser of the student newspaper at a Los Angeles High School is facing a three-day unpaid suspension from her job after refusing to remove the name of an unvaccinated school librarian from a story published by student journalists, the Los Angeles Times reported Thursday. In November, the award-winning student-run news website of Daniel Pearl Magnet High School in Lake Balboa, the Pearl Post, published a story naming a librarian who had refused to comply with the Los Angeles Unified School District’s Covid-19 vaccine mandate. The school is named for the slain journalist Daniel Pearl. |

As LBUSD classes try to beat the heat, parents call for more action |
|
The Long Beach Unified School District has air conditioning in almost 80% of its classes according to the district—something that’s been crucial this week as the city fights a historic heat wave—but that leaves 20% of classes trying to stay cool by other means while students attempt to learn in temperatures that have sometimes crested 95 degrees. “The district has been, and will continue putting heat-mitigation measures in place at all schools that do not yet have full AC,” LBUSD spokesperson Chris Eftychiou said. Those steps include rotating classes so that empty rooms that are air-conditioned are filled with classes, or relocating classes to air-conditioned facilities such as auditoriums or libraries. |
