  • Why American Schools Are Even More Unequal Than We Thought

    Aug 16, 2016

    Education is deeply unequal in the United States, with students in poor districts performing at levels several grades below those of children in richer areas. Yet the problem is actually much worse than these statistics show, because schools, districts and even the federal government have been using a crude yardstick for economic hardship. A closer look reveals that the standard measure of economic disadvantage — whether a child is eligible for a free or reduced-price lunch in school — masks the magnitude of the learning gap between the ric...

  • Not just for top athletes: the signing bonus lures in-demand teachers to Bay Area school districts

    Aug 16, 2016

Amid a statewide teacher shortage and the region's affordable housing woes, more school districts are offering bonuses that can range from $1,000 to $10,000 for hard-to-fill positions in special education, math, science, dual immersion language, and for speech pathologists and school psychologists. One hot candidate was 30-year-old Cuauhtemoc Mixcoatl-Martinez, who scored $10,000 in...

  • Schools slow to put seat belts in buses, with the added cost as only one factor

    Aug 16, 2016

    LINCOLN — The two-second free fall from a highway bridge still passes in a terrifying blur for Dawn Prescott. All she knows for sure is that she clutched a storage rack above her seat as the Seward, Nebraska, school bus plunged nearly 50 feet from the bridge on West Dodge Road and slammed sideways into the muddy bed of the West Papillion Creek. She saw broken glass, blood and heaps of tangled limbs. She heard moans and screams as dazed children pleaded for help. Her pelvis broken, her shoulder separated, she crawled to the front of the bus w...
