Teachers should real- ize that just like students need differentiated instruction, parents need different ways of reach- ing them.

Lawmakers switch schedule for extra pay nia lawmakers have again adjusted their legislative calendar to accommo- date a holiday weekend, allowing them to continue collecting their $142- a-day per diem payments while they are away from the capital during the break. SACRAMENTO (AP) — Califor- moved their regular Thursday sessions to Friday this week. Per diem pay- ments continue as long as the Legisla- ture does not take a break of more than three days. Both houses of the Legislature The per diems add about $30,000 a year to lawmakers' $95,290 annual salaries. The Associated Press exam- ined the legislative scheduling switch in February, when lawmakers did the same thing ahead of the Presidents Day weekend. All but six of the Legislature's 120 ules. California lawmakers already are the nation's highest paid and receive separate reimbursements for travel and mileage. lawmakers take the per diems, which are tax-free and are meant to cover the daily expenses of lawmakers who must travel to Sacramento from out of the area. The total cost to taxpayers over the four days of the Memorial Day week- end, starting Friday, is $65,000. Switching the day of the legislative session ahead of a holiday weekend is a long-standing tradition, but it has drawn scrutiny as California continues to face large budget shortfalls that have forced billions of dollars in spending cuts. The latest move comes a week before the independent California Cit- izens Compensation Committee, which sets lawmakers' salaries, is poised to consider cutting the salaries of lawmakers and statewide elected officials by 5 percent. Gov. Jerry Brown's latest budget proposal also calls for a 5 percent pay cut for state workers by switching thousands of employees to four-day-a-week sched- Football prospect exonerated LONG BEACH, Calif. (AP) — A former high school football star whose dreams of a pro career were shattered by a rape conviction burst into tears Thursday as a judge threw out the charge that sent him to prison for more than five years. Brian Banks, now 26, pleaded no contest 10 years ago on the advice of his lawyer after a childhood friend falsely accused him of attacking her on their high school campus. In a strange turn of events, the woman, Wanetta Gibson, friended him on Facebook when he got out of prison. During an initial meeting with him, she said she had lied; there had been no kidnap and no rape and she offered to help him clear his record, court records state. But she refused to repeat the story to prosecutors because she feared she would have to return a $1.5 million payment from a civil suit brought by her mother against Long Beach schools.
