Strong Program in School District Sees Success, But Needs Expansion According to the California Department of Education, over 30% of students do not graduate from high school—numbers which should make anyone look twice at what we are doing in our schools. The good news is that the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) already has a program with the potential to make school relevant to students again, and keep our youth from abandoning their education....

SCHOOL MATTERS: Report Flunks Kids + Cops In light of the recent arrest of a central Florida six-year-old African-American girl by police officers at her elementary school, a recent report finds that African American and Latino students are disproportionately affected and targeted when aggressive disciplinary measures, like the use of police in public schools, are enforced.
