Linocoln has been in session a month already and most of the LAUSD started this past Monday. That 5 day shortening of the school calendar is one reason for a short Fall semester.
There's not much to tell about the LHS experience at the moment, but there's lots going on with the teachers' union and the District concerning test score significance and teacher evaluations. All that is for a separate blog entry but as for Alumni matters, you will have to check the LHS Alumni link in the sidebar.
One matter that's been an ongoing condition with the Alumni Association is the sparse membership or even contact with teachers here who are alumni, and there's a lot. Of course, things get busy for teachers, but there might be a better condition produced for all if there was a little more presence of current alumni faculty in the association. Just an observation that's not anything new.
We do have several teacher alumni who DO attend meetings and give another perspective to the needs and conditions that school environment produces, and that one very postive feature of faculty participation. This participation would not even have to be as a member but an occasional visit to give us all some idea of what the current LHS is all about.
As usual, the meetings are open and anyone is welcome to attend, give comments and share ideas, or just hear what others have to provide. There's a football season underway with the food concession stand on the Visitor's side operated by the Alumni Association. Volunteering to help is always very useful for before, during and after the games.
