Position Papers
Latinization of California - Challenges faced by Schools
Many times standard methods of teaching do not work for culturally, economically and socially challenged kids. Our District, as the Hispanic population increases, needs to formalize strategies, curriculum and programs to assist this population.
Preparing Kids for School
Are you as a public aware of the criteria that is faced by pre school kids getting ready to start kindergarten? As a society, it should be a concern because if these kids don't hit the street running at an early age they will be dropping out and filling up our prison systems. It would be far better to put the money in up front prior to kindergarten then at the end when they don't make it and become a prison statistic.
