Good morning, San Diego.
Turns out San Diego Unified students will go to school as scheduled on Feb. 26.
The district and the San Diego Education Association announced Thursday they reached a deal that could lead to a new contract, settling special education and wage issues that led to the planned one-day strike.
In significantly stranger news, our JW August reported this week on a La Jolla lawyer who was disbarred after allegedly sending over 3,000 “depraved, profanity-laced” threatening emails and text messages to his boss and his boss’ family.
- His boss happened to be an internet-famous legal influencer who uses the handle “Law by Mike” for short-form, jargon-free videos explaining legal issues. He has more than 28 million followers combined between YouTube and TikTok.
And as you read this, a federal deadline for seven Western states to decide how to share dwindling Colorado River water is officially here, as our partners at Inside Climate News report.
- The deal needs to sort out an ongoing mega drought and widespread overconsumption of the West’s main water source.
