Seeking alternative funding to continue to improve student achievement despite continuing state budget cuts, the New Haven Unified School District has begun surveying voters regarding the possibility of a parcel tax.

“The situation in Sacramento is only getting worse, and it’s having a devastating effect on education,” Superintendent Kari McVeigh said. “We’ve been able to delay some of the measures other districts have had to take, including laying off teachers and increasing class sizes, but the time is coming -- and soon -- when we will have no choice."

Community colleges can be a great bargain and a good start toward a four-year degree. But a common stumbling block is the sometimes tricky transfer to a four-year college or university.
Done wrong, a transfer can waste money and cause undue hassle, experts said.

"Two years and two years can be a smart choice if you do your homework and make an informed choice," said Susan Weir, an assistant vice provost at the University of South Carolina and author of the book "Transitions: A Guide for the Transfer Student." "It can be counterproductive if you just take classes without any guidance or plan in place."
