Ethics Law: Reference for Local Officials
by CSBA
California has a complex set of ethics laws to guide local officials in their service to their communities. How does the well-intentioned local official keep track of them all? This guide will acquaint local officials with the basic requirements of ethic laws, so they know when to consult their agency attorneys for more specific guidance. This guide also notes that ethics laws constitute minimum standards for officials’ conduct. They are a floor for conduct, not a ceiling. Just because a particular course of action is legal does not mean it is ethical. This guide will help officials stay on the right side of ethics laws and avoid inadvertent missteps that would undermine the public’s trust in their leadership and their agency.

City Schools & The American Dream
by Pedro Noguera
Drawing on extensive research performed in San Francisco, Oakland, Berkeley, and Richmond, Pedro Noguera demonstrates how school and student achievement in influenced by social forces such as demographic change, poverty, drug trafficking, violence, and social inequity. Readers will get a detailed glimpse into the lives of teachers and students working “against the odds” to succeed. Noguera sends a strong message to those who would have urban schools “shape up or shape down,” invest in the future of these students and schools, and we can reach the kind of achievement and success that typify only more privileged communities.
