OPINION: California is expanding its transitional kindergarten (TK) to a universal prekindergarten (UPK) system, and must learn from the mistakes of the 1971 federal effort to create a universal early care and education system, which was vetoed by President Nixon.

Teamsters Local 2010, a union representing 1,100 workers within the Cal State University system, has voted to authorize a statewide strike — a move the union may choose to act on if its concerns aren’t addressed.

California law bans colleges from withholding transcripts for unpaid balances, but more than one-fifth of community colleges still state they will continue to do so.

A 2021 state law allows community colleges to create bachelor’s degrees, so long as they don’t duplicate what the state universities offer. Seven proposed degrees have stalled for years because of objections from California State University.

OPINION: We owe our former service members more than gratitude. As educators, we owe them clear, affordable pathways to degrees and credentials that lead to family-sustaining wages by giving them college credit for knowledge and skills they learned in the service. Learn more: buff.ly/PjJW7JT

New federal alert warns that 132 schools and colleges in California produce ‘lower earnings’ LEARN MORE: buff.ly/TqOngIi

The Oakland Unified School District has approved a $103 million plan to remain solvent that includes vague cuts and aims to boost attendance to generate additional revenue.

The law, Assembly Bill 715, aims to reinforce existing anti-discrimination laws and create an Office of Civil Rights and an Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator.

Starting this month, prospective students considering any of 132 California colleges, including cosmetology schools, a music conservatory, and even Barstow Community College, will see a new warning label about alumni earnings when they apply for federal financial aid.

In a new op-ed for @edsource.org, @justequations.bsky.social Executive Director @pamelaburdman.bsky.social puts the recent UC San Diego report in context and calls on California to ensure that its education systems collectively improve quantitative literacy. edsource.org/2025/san-die...

Traditional grading can reflect life circumstances more than actual learning, triggering unintended barriers to student success. In @edsource.org, Joel Knudson outlines how districts can use evidence to refine grading systems for fairer outcomes. https://bit.ly/4iX5A3e

Districts are increasingly using Career Technical Education to raise awareness and offer career exploration to students, even those in elementary school.
