My personal Jane Austen fantasy is that I get to wear an empire-cut dress, have ribbons woven into my hair, dance with grace, spit wit, then win the love of my life and retire to a countryside estate with a killer garden. In place of that, what I actually do get to do is see others live that life, most recently onstage, in the wonderful production of Emma, the fall play of the Alameda High School Drama Department, directed by Anneka Fagundes.

Takeaways from AP's report on school closures in the US

VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) — The start of a new school year can be nerve-wracking under any circumstances. But for thousands of students across the U.S., this academic year brought the added difficulty of adjusting to an entirely new school after their previous ones shuttered.

School closures are accelerating A total of 1,156 U.S. schools closed during the last academic year — the highest number since the pandemic, according to an analysis of federal data by Big Local News at Stanford University. For example, the Vallejo City Unified School District, a working-class district near San Francisco, serves half as many students as it did two decades earlier.
