Teachers are disappointed in the current state of education, according to data from state-issued surveys addressing retention issues.

Los Angeles Supt. Alberto Carvalho pledged Monday to bring rapid progress to the nation’s second-largest school district, which has long struggled to make modest, consistent gains.

The program was developed through an agency called Educational Partners International, an exchange visitor program that sponsors teachers for K-12 placements in North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia and Florida.

Principal Thomas W. Glanton Jr. can't sleep the night before school starts because he's still excited about every aspect of K-12 education.
