In 2013, LAUSD handed 650,000 students an iPad. In 2026, they voted 6 to 0 to take the screens away.Same district. Thirteen years apart. Completely opposite directions.So what happened in between?In this episode of The Education Evolution, Mr. Jihad breaks down the full story — from the promise of edtech to the parent movement that forced the largest school system in the country to finally ask the question nobody wanted to ask:Did any of this actually work?What we get into:The 2013 LAUSD iPad initiative — and why it fell apart before COVID ever happenedHow the pandemic accelerated a problem that was already thereThe parent who got tired of waiting for answers and built a movementWhy 37 states are now restricting devices in classroomsWhat schools actually need — and it's not another platformThis is not a screens are bad conversation.This is an implementation conversation.And there's a big difference.

On the Contacts Coaching podcast, Duarte High School athletic director and PE teacher Coach Perry Skaggs shares his path from LA Unified student and Fairfax High alumnus to coaching and athletic administration across private and public schools, including Pilgrim, Viewpoint, Flintridge Prep, Westmark, and LAUSD sites before landing at Duarte eight years ago. He explains why he moved between sectors—job security, parent access, and career stability—and why Duarte feels like a “small town” community where relationships drive athletics. Skaggs discusses lessons from eight-man football, emphasizing coaching adaptability and culture, and outlines Duarte's multi-sport philosophy and sport offerings, including additions like girls flag football, stunt, and boys volleyball based on student interest. He also describes evolving from dogmatic coaching to more collaborative communication and focusing programs on positive student-athlete experiences over championships.00:00 Welcome and Guest Intro00:55 Coaching Roots and Early Stops02:37 Flintridge Prep to Westmark Shift03:44 Westmark Lessons and Eight Man Success04:40 Back to Public and Finding Duarte07:05 Private vs Public Realities13:02 Why Duarte Feels Like Family17:36 Stepping Into the AD Role21:51 Eight Man vs Eleven Man Football25:42 Eight Man Culture and Community28:04 Eight Man Football Shift28:44 Selling Multi Sport Culture30:32 Cutting And Adding Sports34:27 New Programs And Tradeoffs36:23 Do New Sports Hurt Others37:50 Culture Over Championships41:57 Post COVID Team Mindset46:30 Changing Coaching Style50:15 Staying Old School Tools53:02 Final Wrap And Thanks

Sara Hernandez, an attorney, educator, and member of the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees, is running for State Senate District 26, ans she joins me on this episode of What's Next, Los Angeles.District 26, currently represented by Maria Elena Durazo, is a dense, urban district centered in Los Angeles, including Downtown LA, Boyle Heights, Echo Park, and surrounding neighborhoods. It's home to largely Latino and immigrant communities, with a mix of working-class families and renters, and it sits at the center of many of the city's biggest challenges — from housing affordability and homelessness to economic inequality and access to public services.Hernandez has spent her career working at the intersection of education, housing, and public policy. She began as a middle school teacher in LAUSD, where she founded the nonprofit Helping Young People Excel, or HYPE, to support low-income students through high school and into college. Her work with students facing homelessness, food insecurity, immigration challenges, and barriers to opportunity led her to pursue a career in law and public service.After earning her law degree, Hernandez worked in Los Angeles City Hall, helping lead community revitalization efforts through investments in housing, transportation, infrastructure, and economic development. She now practices as a housing and environmental attorney and has done extensive pro bono work representing immigrants in asylum proceedings and assisting students navigating the DACA process.In 2022, she was elected to the Los Angeles Community College District Board of Trustees, where she has focused on expanding access to education, increasing enrollment, connecting students to housing resources, and growing apprenticeship programs in the building trades.Hernandez is also active in grassroots organizing, including founding DTLA Strong, a community group that helped significantly increase voter turnout in downtown Los Angeles.https://www.sarahernandez.com/What's Next, Los Angeles? is produced and hosted by Mike Bonin, in partnership with LA Forward.

Today was a classic example of why people call into the show begging us to 'do more better.' The show was riddled with f'bombs, mistakes & tantrums. We even had a failed guest appearance! Klein had to tell his kids this morning that they indeed had to go to school after the LAUSD reached a last minute agreement with teachers, principals and cafeteria workers. They didn't take it well, which resulted in an expletive laden rant that almost got us fined by the FCC. We also did an AMA with a nanny to the rich and powerful, but apparently it didn't make her rich enough for a stable phone connection. Just as we were learning about 'nanny meat' we had to cut things short, leaving us with more questions than answers. Klein detailed a negative run-in with a cashier at Trader Joe's, heard about your weird turn ons, and apparently shaving Klein's head is back on the table.
