Well happy new week, everybody.
How it got here so quickly, I'm not sure, but I guess when one is an education writer in the midst of graduation season, it's easy to get busy and find time flying by. Of course one week from now school will be out, things will be slow and I'll be pounding the pavement for good stories. Unlike now, when they're coming at me constantly, in bigger numbers than I can get to.
Anyhow, here are three tasty local news bites to whet your appetite until I get ramped back up:
*State Superintendent of Instruction Jack O'Connell is set to be the commencement speaker at Torrance's South High School on Wednesday. Apparently his nephew attends there. Who knew?
*It looks like LAUSD is downgrading its plans for a new high school at the Angels Gate Cultural Center in San Pedro. Previously proposed as a 1,215-student site, the agenda for an upcoming public meeting (June 24, 2 p.m.) of the district's facilities department says they're seeking to revise that figure -- and reduce the scope of the project, apparently -- to max out at 810 students.
*About-to-graduate Redondo Union High School student Aisha Sheffield has not missed a single day of school in the last 12 years -- a devoted pupil from kindergarten on -- according to her aunt, Michelle King, who emailed me. Impressive!
