Californians went to the polls Tuesday along with voters in 15 other states and one territory. We know some of the outcomes, but others will take time to play out.
“It's kind of a no-brainer when you think about it,” said Antelope Valley College president Jennifer Zellet. The vouchers are made possible through state funding and a $19 student health fee, she said. Antelope Valley College students can also get A local clinic was hosting a day of service, Mendez said, and through a one-time partnership, Long Beach City College provided off-campus dental care for students. These services included free teeth cleanings to remove plaque and tartar, which can cause cavities and decay. Mendez said he plans to host more of these events in the near future.
Luis Rosales enrolled in West L.A. College’s bachelor’s program after years of working as a dental assistant. Looking back on her first time treating a patient, she recalls feeling unnerved. There was “a lot of blood,” she said. Tran was grateful that her professor was there to guide her through the process. Since then, she’s provided care for dozens of patients. And through this experience, she learned the importance of putting patients at ease.
The way Maria sees it, the main job of the school's PTA is to fund the activities that make school fun for kids — e.g., pizza parties for the honor roll students, bringing in a big reptile show for kids, or helping pay for the 6th graders to go to science camp for a week. The beach is just 40 minutes away, but 90% of students at this school are economically disadvantaged and 20% are unhoused, so many of her students have never seen the ocean.
Public schools get their official budgets from local property taxes, as well as states and the federal funding. Technically, schools get more money per student today than they have historically gotten. Marguerite Roza, a school funding expert at Georgetown Universitiy's McCourt School of Public Policy, said it would be possible to just change the rules about how school money can be spent. And, she said, if a school really wanted to prioritize field trips in their official budget, they could. No fundraising from the PTA necessary.
Their next fundraiser starts March 18. They're selling peanut brittle, gummy bears and chocolate covered popcorn.A new law would ban state financial aid, known as Cal Grant, for private universities in California that consider legacy in admissions.Assembly member Phil Ting last tried to pass this bill in 2019, but it never made it out of the Assembly Higher Education Committee.
“People who do college admissions care a lot about equity, but they have to balance many competing interests … And when you change one aspect of that ecology, other aspects are impacted. That said, I agree with the Assemblyman that legacy admission should end.” explained Lucido. “I would favor being very transparent about how all of these spaces are being used and who gets them.
“I started thinking about how the dancers all had each other's back,” said Reagan. “So I told Jordan, we might wanna look at Star Garden.”Palmer laid out the steps toward unionization, starting with the dancers’ initial petition asking for safety measures. Presenting the petition created an organizing action, which meant the workers would be protected from a mass firing.
The outcome of Tuesday's race means that no matter who wins in November, California will not have a female representing the state in the U.S. Senate for the first time since 1992. The late Dianne Feinstein held the seat from her first election in 1992 until her death last fall. Her replacement, Laphonza Butler, was appointed by Gov. Gavin Newsom but she chose not to run.
This week, students in the U.S. will begin taking the new SAT on their own devices — including a tablet or a laptop — or on school devices. The test is also one hour shorter , has shorter reading passages and uses digital tools, like a highlighter, a graphing calculator and a bookmark to go back to skipped questions.
Students will take the digital exam on Bluebook, an app that was built in-house by the College Board. Schools were given time ahead of testing dates to download the app onto their devices. Internet access is key to start the test, though Rodriquez says it requires very little bandwidth during the test and is designed to autosave locally, so students won't lose work or time if they lose their internet connection.
