Bright and Early: The Education Newsblitz
One thing to say today: If you learned it, then you should have got an A on it. Thanks to Alexander Russo for the link! Now for the newsblitz:
  • We blog about the first bids for construction work under the controversial labor agreement on renovating San Diego Unified schools, which came in significantly higher than estimated. Critics say it proves the labor pact will inflate costs; the school district says it's too early to tell.
  • Oceanside schools are scraping for more ways to cut money, which means they may have to turn to employee groups to get concessions, the Union-Tribune reports.
  • Also in the UT: A Lemon Grove middle school is temporarily closing to save its district money.
