PACE's @julieamarsh: “In CA, we’ve made a big investment in the LCFF, gave a lot of control over how funds are spent to local school boards, so there’s a real deep value of local control. For me, it’s almost a philosophical question—at what point is there too much local control?”

Does emerging tech like AI have potential for supporting students? Maybe. But, too often, it replicates existing biases against marginalized students. #EnglishLearners deserve better than egregious plagiarism accusations.

Editorial: A shortage of bilingual teachers threatens goal for a multilingual California (via @latimesopinion) latimes.com/opinion/story/20…
ALT COMPTON, CA - NOVEMBER 17: Marisa Calderon, middle, a bi-lingual instructional aid, helps newcomer's English language development grades 6-8 students, who are among students that are spending their first year in the United States, during in-class learning at Ralph Bunche Middle School in Compton on Tuesday, Nov. 17, 2020. Some schools in Compton have brought back small cohorts of English language learners to receive in-person instruction because educators are concerned about the disparate impact of distance learning on English learners, who have long lagged behind their peers academically.
