The school year begins this week for public schools in Santa Monica and Malibu. The school district in recent months has gone through several changes, including getting a new superintendent and a few new principals. There are many issues facing public education throughout the state and locally. So this week, Q-Line wants to know, “What do you think are the biggest challenges facing local students and parents? How should they be addressed?” Call (310) 285-8106 before Friday at 5 p.m. and we’ll print your responses in the weekend edition. Please try to limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.
