A Shout Out to Voice of San Diego-- linked to this blog!
There's a ton of interesting local opinion today along with your education news: A student editorial from Hilltop High decries the spending habits of Sweetwater Union High School District Superintendent Jesus Gandara in a budget crisis and his "Stalinistic approach to school politics." We blog on the San Diego teachers union joining the Labor Council and give you the background on why this is happening to unions nationwide. The Union-Tribune reports that the Ramona student finally got to present her report on gay leader Harvey Milk after the ACLU threatened to sue, and prints dueling editorials on preschool on its opinion page. And I accidentally overlooked this opinion piece yesterday by San Diego Unified trustee John Lee Evans that touts their "third way" of balancing the budget. Ruth McKinnie Braun at SDNN talks to "The Book Whisperer" on getting kids to read. The La Jolla Light reports on a dustup over expansion plans at a French bilingual school. KPBS talks to a High Tech High teacher heading to Uganda. And back at VOSD, my coworker Rani Gupta tracks the $17M tab to date for the nonexistent downtown library and its potential future as a schoolbrary, and I blog on a scufflebetween a charter school and the district over bond building plans.
