Lingering Learning Loss:
How is your district working towards education recovery?
You’ve heard the news: reading and math have fallen below pre pandemic levels. Students are chronically absent from school which makes the learning recovery more difficult. This research is all done on a national level, but how is your school doing?
​
Here’s how you find out for your district!
-
The CAASPP Report has information about the average English and math scores for your school district. Just type your school district into the search bar!
-
The California School Dashboard has the information on chronic absenteeism. Here’s what it looks like for Fullerton Elementary.
This February the education recovery scorecard released 4 steps towards education recovery.
-
States and districts need to allocate more funds to make up for the impending absence of federal pandemic relief.
-
Community leaders need to step in to help with academic recovery.
-
Teachers should inform parents about their child’s genuine progress towards grade level.
-
We need to leverage the fact that different states have taken different approaches to education recovery to determine what actually works.
Ensure your school district's leaders are working towards education recovery in your districts. Now that federal relief funding is disappearing, are your schools going to use their remaining funding responsibly to help your students? Is your school willing to work with members of the community to work towards academic recovery? Have you had a conversation with your teacher about your child’s genuine progress? How is your school responding to the research?

Healthy Kids Survey
Many parents are unaware that this survey is being conducted in schools. Here is a sample of the high school version. An elementary school survey has also been designed. We are recommending that parents opt-out.
Parental Opt-Out Rights for Sex Education in California
Attention parents! This is not your traditional sex-ed class. New materials have been mandated by law exposing students to sexually explicit curriculums.
Do you know what will be taught to your children? Did you know that parents can choose to completely or partially opt-out of sex-ed?
​
Click on the button below for an overview of the new sex-ed course, the opt-out form, as well as for instructions on how you can let your concerns be heard.

Dear friends,
Unions, educators, superintendents, etc. are a powerful force within the Department of Education. School boards were created as the only voice for parents and the public!
The board was specifically established to focus public opinion on issues with regard their area schools.
It is a vital and important forum for "We the people." The school board is designed to be a non-partisan/non-political group of elected officials who represent the community. It must be preserved and protected!
