Don't let the newsblitz hit you on your way out:
- California released a list of persistently struggling schools that will have to take drastic steps to improve. We blogged the list of low performers.
- The North County Times writes that in Escondido, school leaders were surprised to see their school on the list. The Union-Tribune talks to a principals' union leader who says district principals shouldn't have to face those choices unless they can choose their teachers.
- Torrey Pines High is known as "the drug school," SDNN writes.
- Also in the UT: Poway schools will appeal a court ruling that allows a teacher to keep banners with slogans like "In God We Trust" in the classroom.
- The Sacramento Bee has a nice explanation of what being on that low-performing schools list means. Educated Guess dissects why so few schools were on the list.
