I ran because I thought the city was not listening to people. It's really the way the deal was handled that led to this kind of uprising.

The UK medical landscape has moved dramatically in the last twelve months, showing a clear move away from fad diets and toward regulated, injectable treatments. This shift is not staying local; it's already visible across London clinics and private healthcare providers, where demand has accelerated sharply over the past year.

"We are currently gathering details on this incident," said school police spokesman Jorge Herrera. "We can confirm the shooting occurred off campus adjacent to Sepulveda Middle School."

Police data revealed that approximately 1,300 cases of bodily harm were recorded at schools in 2024, a significant increase from the 700 to 1,000 cases reported in previous years.

"This administration has ground fair housing enforcement to a halt. Worse, they're picking and choosing which protected classes count."

The Department of Education's failure to properly process discharge applications from vulnerable and sick borrowers is reprehensible. We are simply asking the Department to review their applications on the merits, as is their right.

"Let me be direct: racist language was used against students in our school. That is not a gray area, and no one on this committee or in district leadership is treating it as one. Our first obligation, before academics and before anything else, is that every student has a safe place to learn. And if any student does not feel like that, we have work to do."

"This year's increase in undergraduate credential attainment isn't just about more completions-it's also about timing. More students are earning certificates and degrees earlier and that shift reflects how postsecondary pathways are changing and starting sooner than they once did."

The overall facilities approach to shift towards more active cooling is going to take a significant amount of time and a significant amount of dollars.

The last three months have been tumultuous in the district. The community was divided by a surprise move in January to add ethnic studies to the high school curriculum, a class that Chinese and Jewish families felt was discriminatory. When new board member Rowena Chiu said publicly she felt bullied by other "woke" school board members for questioning the class, all hell broke loose.

The Palo Alto Unified School District is in the middle of at least 11 different lawsuits, including cases that allege unchecked bullying, racist attacks, injured students, inadequate special education and retaliation by district leadership.

Los Alto School District board trustee Vladimir Ivanovic is resigning in protest over the district's plan to build a new campus for Bullis charter school, a move he believes will impose a large tax burden on residents and jeopardize future bond measures. The long-time trustee announced his decision at the board's meeting on Jan. 12, and submitted his resignation letter. Ivanovic, whose four-year term was set to expire in December, will stay in the position until March 11.

Jack Hamner, the president of the East Side Teachers Association, said 70% of the district's students are English language learners, homeless, foster youth or low income and can't afford to lose access to counselors, social workers and advisors. Those are some severely needy kids. They need their support systems more than ever, Hamner said. The positions they're cutting, these are the mental health and wellness services that our kids desperately need.

A group of students who are eager to learn about advanced math are asking for multivariable calculus, and teacher Daniel Nguyen has obtained a master's degree in order to teach it. The school board told Paly to add the class on Dec. 16, but the teachers council said no. Apparently the school is run by a committee of teachers, called the council of administrators and instructors, who oppose adding the class.

On a chilly day before Christmas, Teresa Rivas helped a tween boy pick out a new winter coat. "Get the bigger one, the one with the waterproof layer, mijo," she said, before helping him pull it onto his string-bean frame. Rivas provides guidance counseling at Owen Goodnight Middle School in San Marcos, Texas. She talks with students about their goals and helps if they're struggling in class. She's also a trained navigator placed there by a nonprofit called Communities in Schools.
