It's the first day of school at Fremont High School, with mostly new teachers, administrators and even cafeteria workers.
The South Los Angeles school began its school year Tuesday because it operates on a year-round schedule because of overcrowding.
The school was restructured under the Los Angeles Unified School District's drastic reform program that requires all educators and staff to reapply for their jobs.
About half of the school's teachers returned. Others refused to apply and a few were

While the recession continues to deliver high unemployment, budget cuts and economic uncertainty, it also keeps filling Oregon colleges and universities with an unprecedented flood of students.

The state's community colleges, public and private colleges and universities are seeing record numbers of summer students and bracing for record-high enrollments this fall. The growth comes atop record enrollments last year and the year before, putting a strain on state institutions as they scramble to hire more professors and add more classes. Some say they are nearing capacity.

The Oregon University System projects enrollment will climb at its seven campuses by about 5 percent to a record 96,200 students this fall.

At the same time, students are taking on more debt as state financial aid shrinks and some of their parents lose jobs and wages. Some students are opting for graduate school, and deeper debt, because they can't find jobs.

In addition, a large number of high school graduates, an influx of students shut out of Washington and California financially-strapped state universities and a continuing stream of people into Oregon all help fill the state's universities and community colleges.

Every community college also is reporting increases in summer enrollment ranging from
