Bright and Early

I spent last night tweeting the school board meeting and boy, is my beak tired. You can catch up on all the gritty details here. Now for your morning newsblitz:

We blog about another objection to the cuts that an internal team has scrounged up for San Diego Unified: Auditors say a recommendation to cut "non-financial auditors" is just plain impossible because they don't exist. They also argue that cutting the fraud hotline doesn't make sense because it has recovered more money than it costs. (Want an example? 10News reported on this employee who was rooted out by the anti-fraud team.)

We also blog about how the two Gompers charter schools are seeking to become one -- and how it could impact their status under No Child Left Behind.
