While this club is student-initiated and not school or district sponsored, if the school has permitted the formation of other non-curricular clubs, federal law requires that the school provide equal access to a Gay/Straight Allianc

Just when you've thought you've seen it all, yet again, something new from Hudson County creeps up and knocks your socks off.Today's Star-Ledger has an intense editorial blasting the plagued Union City school district for having on its payroll and accountant who currently lives in South Carolina!That's right. The State of South Carolina. No, there's no municipality in Jersey named South Carolina. It's that state in the union just below, you know, North Carolina.Of course, it ought not come as much of a surprise that the accountant in question has connections to Union City Mayor Brian Stack, who appoints the school board there.This is the latest in a series of strange developments to come out of the Union City school district. Last month, it was revealed school bus drivers are given six hou

NEW ORLEANS (AP) _ A federal judge ordered a public school system to stop allowing in-school Bible giveaways, saying the practice violates the First Amendment separation of church and state.

Darrin Pike, director of 120 schools in the Eastern School District of Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, has recently found that data security is not always relegated to making sure hackers from China and Russia invade his schools’ networks.
Last week, two teenagers were arrested for stealing computer equipment from an elementary school in the Eastern School District. The theft resulted in three computers, one of them the school’s mainframe, and two monitors being taken from school grounds. The school breach involved the names, addresses, phone numbers, and medicare numbers of 84 students. It isn’t believed, however, that the two went after the computers because of the sensitive information; rather, this was more of a grab‑and‑go situation.

Up until our most recent move I had never given school district maps much thought. I hadn't needed to. Each city or town we lived in I simply called the district office when we arrived, gave them our children's ages and grades and found out which school they would be attending and went from there. More often than not our suburb or 'town' only had one school for each education level (elementary
No more Christmas parties for everyone?
Police intervene in parental shouting match
So long Halloween parade. Farewell Santa’s gift shop.
The long-celebrated holiday traditions are facing elimination in some Oak Lawn schools this year after complaints the activities are offensive, particularly to Muslim students.
Please someone clue me in. How does Christmas and Halloween (a secular holiday BTW) offend muslim students? Will they become damaged beyond repair if they see Christmas or Halloween decorations. Will Santa give them nightmares? Jews do not celebrate Christmas or eat pork and has anyone heard them complaining? No.
Parents expect the announcement to add to the tension that’s been building since school administrators agreed earlier this month to change the lunch menu to exclude items containing pork to accommodate Muslim students. News that Jell-O was struck from the menu caused such a stir that officials since have agreed to bring the popular dessert back.

“They want you to ignore the evidence,” said attorney Chris Miller, who argued that the Fayette County Board of Education ignored allegations of sex abuse...“We can’t allow this to happen in our community,” Miller said.Miller asked for $2.16 million in lost wages from the educational opportunities he says Maner, now 45, was denied because of the alleged abuse...Attorney Larry C. Deener, representing the school board, said administrators were not aware of any abuse allegations and did not cause Maner’s injuries.He said Maner’s story is illogical and doesn’t add up...If that’s the case, Deener said, then why didn’t she tell state social workers who investigated child abuse in the Maner household? Why would she allow Maner to go to Florida on spring break with art teacher Roberta Blackwell, an alleged abuser?The case has gone to the jury.This from the Herald-Leader.
