voiceofsandiego.org: Schooled...
This is your last newsblitz for the week before I head up to the Alpert family homestead. Drive safe, be thankful and don't overdose on the cranberry relish:
We blog that the teachers union in San Diego Unified won http://www.voiceofsandiego.org/articles/2009/11/24/this_just_in/972workload112409.txt a controversial rule to limit workloads. It had proved one of the toughest issues at the bargaining table between the union and the school district, with critics fearing that the rule would hamstring principals and schools from making changes. Bargaining is still continuing over other issues, nearly a year and a half after teachers' last contract was due to expire.
The Union-Tribune reports that a state appellate court ruled that part of a settlement with a former MiraCosta College president was an illegal expenditure of public money, defying a lower court ruling. You might remember this as part of Palmgate and its aftermath.
The UT also reports on the different ways that schools are handling Thanksgiving, including taking it as an opportunity to teach kids more about American Indian cultures.
