When things get busy here (as they do during holiday weeks), we kind of slack off on blog posts. You might have noticed. Sorry.
Anyway, here are a few links I've been meaning to post from recent days:
- Los Angeles Unified is considering cuts of up to $140 million this year, the Daily News' George Sanchez reports. Deputy Supe Cortines would halve the budgets of local districts, and cut Beaudry's budget by 30 percent. "It's just that bad," Cortines said
- The Los Angeles Times' Jason Song looks back on Friday's lockdown at Manual Arts High School in South L.A.
- The Associated Press reports that the federal goverment will withhold $1 million from California for failing to test eighth-graders in math. This is related to the whole eight-grade algebra conundrum.
- Another LA Times story: County juvie camps may become charter schools.
- From Friday, the Daily News' Sanchez reports on continuing payroll snafus within LAUSD.
- And ... UC students on Sunday protested proposed budget cuts, reports, yes, the LA Times.
