<p>&nbsp;&nbsp; Last month marked the 150th&nbsp;anniversary of the firing on Fort Sumter, marking the start of the Civil War.

Public Ed students cannot be charged fees to participate!

   East Lake High School parents were refunded the money they paid for their children to participate on track and field sports team last month. Parents paid $135 for their children to play on the Otay Ranch High School basketball team and may request refunds. That happened because students may not be required to pay any fees to participate in school activities in California public schools because of the state Constitution.
