3 Merced County football teams play in section quarterfinals. A look at matchups

The Sac-Joaquin Section high school football playoffs kick off Friday night, and three Merced County teams are looking to go on a run and claim a blue banner. Here’s a look at the quarterfinal matchups (all games scheduled for 6 p.m. kickoff): Division 3: Merced at Vanden After going 2-2 during nonleague play, the Bears have been on a roll. Merced, which won six straight games to claim the Central California Conference championship, now heads to Fairfield for a Division 3 quarterfinal matchup. Merced features a powerful running attack, with seniors Anthony Tacheira (530 yards, 12 touchdowns) and Dougie Andrews (774 yards, 8 TDs) running behind a solid offensive line. Vanden is 9-1 and won the Monticello Empire League with a 6-0 record. The two teams met in the Division 3 quarterfinals in 2025, with the Vikings edging the Bears 26-25 in Merced. Division 5: Casa Roble at Hilmar Top-seeded Hilmar takes its perfect record (10-0) into a first-round matchup against eighth-seeded Casa Roble of Orangevale. The Yellowjackets, having won the Trans-Valley League title at 6-0, are the clear favorites to take home the Division 5 title. The Hilmar offense has been unstoppable this season. It’s led by senior quarterback

California teachers urge 3-year pause on AI use in K-8 schools

The California Federation of Teachers on Wednesday urged Gov. Gavin Newsom to order a three-year pause on artificial intelligence in K-8 public school classrooms, citing concerns that schools are adopting AI tools without adequate protections for students and educators. The call followed Newsom’s September executive order directing state agencies to develop AI safety regulations, including a potential “kill switch” for certain AI programs during emergencies. In a news release, the union representing 120,000 educators and faculty urged Newsom to issue an executive order pausing AI use in classrooms before his term ends in January. “Students’ brain development shouldn’t be monetized for billionaire profit,” CFT President Jeff Freitas said in a statement. “This is a public health and safety emergency, and we need our leaders to treat it as one and act now.” As Newsom has largely embraced AI’s growth in California throughout his governorship, advocacy groups have urged him to impose stronger accountability and protections. The union said they sent a letter to the outgoing California governor, warning that unregulated AI could harm students’ development and limit teachers’ control over instruction. Educators aren’t prepared to supervise AI use, while students may struggle to tell which tools are safe or harmful,

Stop grading the children and start grading the system

Taxpayers are entitled to ask what their money is accomplishing. (Republished from The California Globe – californiaglobe.com) If a school system can keep a child for thirteen years and send that child into adulthood unable to read confidently, manage money, or recognize a dishonest argument, the adults running it should have considerably more explaining to do than the child.

Opinion: California’s Charter Schools Are Public Schools. They Deserve Facilities Funding

A school building does more than house an education. It can expand opportunities for students — or limit what’s possible for them. For too many of California’s charter public schools, the cost of securing adequate facilities has become a hindrance rather than a foundation for student success. Consider Magnolia Public Schools in Southern California, a […]

State Center College District picks new chancellor. She worked under embattled predecessor

The State Center Community College District has officially selected a new leader: an internal candidate who formerly worked alongside the former, controversy-embroiled chancellor. During Tuesday night’s board meeting, trustees unanimously decided that deputy chancellor Christine Holt-McDonald will assume the role of chancellor. The district entered into a two-and-a-half-year employment agreement with Holt-McDonald, who will earn an annual salary of $365,000. “I’m very honored and very humbled, to be the next chancellor of State Center Community College District,” Holt-McDonald said during the meeting. Holt-McDonald joined the district in 2025 and previously served as the chancellor of a university in Arkansas. She worked closely alongside Carole Goldsmith, who served as the chancellor from November 2021 to September 2026. In November 2025, 250 members of the district’s faculty union unanimously issued a vote of no confidence in Goldsmith’s leadership. Hours ahead of this vote, Goldsmith announced that she’d retire in September 2026 and said the union actions had nothing to do with the decision. Ahead of trustees’ decision, Keith Ford, president of the State Center Federation of Teachers, said there are some concerns surrounding the prospect of an internal candidate leading the district. “We would be looking immediately for her to break with
