Impending Teacher Strikes And A New Rule Threatens to Cut College Majors That Don’t Make Money
Description
This Week: First, bombshell news out of LAUSD this week as Supt Alberto Carvalho was placed on paid leave after his home and office were raided by the FBI. Not much has been made public yet, but speculation is that the raid may be tied to Carvalho’s role in the failed investment in an AI chatbot during his time as head of schools in both LA and Miami. Then, our main story today tackles the growing number of districts where teachers are authorizing strikes. The California Teacher Association (CTA) claims ⅓ of their members are living check to check, with many taking on second jobs like Doordash delivers at night to afford housing. Districts say declining enrollment, rising health care costs, and skyrocketing prices mean there’s no money to raise teacher pay. Where do we go from here? Lastly, we tackle a fascinating piece about the state of Indiana acting on a new Trump admin regulation that will remove federal student aid funding from college majors/programs that don’t result in graduates earning more money than the average HS graduate. It’s a policy that seems reasonable, until you think about it. Manuel and Jeff discuss!
