Labor Negotiations in San Diego Unified Drag On, and On
Bargaining between San Diego Unified and its teachers is dragging on behind closed doors more than a year after their old contract expired. It has now stretched longer than the negotiations that spurred a teachers' strike over a decade ago.

A Charter Built By a School District
One of the quirks in the schoobrary idea is San Diego Unified would be spending bond money to build a charter school. That is pretty rare -- and some might find it counterintuitive.

Manufacturing dissent: Camille Zombro's scary scheme to complete takeover of San Diego Unified
Locally, we're seeing a crude, lowbrow sequel -- "Manufacturing Dissent: The Dishonest Narrative of the SDEA." This propaganda, crafted by local teachers union boss Camille Zombro, asserts that San Diego Unified has been so badly run that the school board should adopt a "maintenance of standards" rule that gives the San Diego Education Association a de facto veto over any consequential change in district policy.

Why close schools for flu outbreak?
Schools in San Diego County and elsewhere may close this fall if, as expected, the numbers of swine flu cases markedly increase once kids return to their classes. A vaccine proven safe and effective against H1N1, the swine flu virus, may be available by fall or early winter, but in limited quantity. Given the social and economic costs generated by school closures, it is reasonable to ask what public health goals those closures achieve.
