I'm off to two schools today to get schooled. But first I've got to school you with the newsblitz:
- We explain how San Diego Unified is tentatively planning to balance its budget, including a shorter school year, fewer tests and charging families who have the means for busing and Advanced Placement exams. Hundreds of jobs would be cut under the plan, but it's unclear if that means layoffs.
- The Union-Tribune reports that the Oceanside superintendent says employees will need to take pay rollbacks through salary cuts, furloughs or both.
- We also show you what is budgeted for each elementary school, per student, through a nifty map. And we added more maps to check out later.
- And who will get to sift through resumes for the next San Diego Unified superintendent? We post the list of committee members picked by the school board on our blog.
- SDNN delves into how the expansion and growing ubiquity of Advanced Placement classes has come with concerns about diluting the classes or overwhelming kids who aren't prepared.
