California high school suspends football program after alleged misconduct caught on video

A California school district has canceled all remaining varsity, junior varsity and freshman football games and practices at one of its high schools following allegations of misconduct involving members of the varsity team. One team member was arrested in connection with the alleged misconduct. Officials overseeing Fred C. Beyer High School of Modesto also said that varsity head football coach Mike Young was placed on administrative leave late last week after Beyer administrators received reports of cellphone videos involving the alleged misconduct. School officials contacted law enforcement, and Modesto police investigated the allegations, reviewing video evidence that resulted in one juvenile being cited for misdemeanor battery. “We are deeply troubled by allegations involving members of the Fred C. Beyer High School football program,” the Modesto City Schools district said Friday in a statement. “These allegations are extremely serious and have no place in our schools or athletic programs.” The decision to suspend the football program eliminated last week’s set of games and another this week. Few details about what led to the decision have been released. Officials, for example, have not explained whether Young’s administrative leave was related to allegations against him personally, his supervisory responsibilities or another reason. The

Report: CA colleges should make inroads with working adults

A new report is offering a roadmap for California colleges to attract more working adults to pursue a degree. The advocacy organization California Competes has new findings showing the state has more than 6 million adults of prime working age without higher education credentials. Su Jin Jez, CEO of the nonprofit, said colleges around the region must make it easier for people to pursue their studies while working full time to support a family. "This means flexible schedules, making financial aid and childcare more accessible, and providing the concrete support today's students need to finish," Jez outlined. Among California adults ages 25-54 who graduated from high school but not college, almost half took college classes but did not complete a degree. Nearly the same percentage have kids under 18. Three-quarters are employed, and of those, a third work in service or retail jobs, which often have unpredictable schedules. The report recommended shorter in-person course terms, online and hybrid options, competency-based education and credit for prior learning. Jez argued the state should remove barriers to California's financial aid program excluding older adults. "Basically, if you're over 27 or more than a year out of high school, you're no longer eligible for
