Today's riddle: What day of the year is trucker's day? 🤔 (Answer below!)
• AC Transit director subjected to 'unwanted physical contact,' investigation finds (berkeleyside.org) — Piedmont riders' representation on the AC Transit board is at stake as an investigation finds Director Joel Young subjected fellow director Sarah Syed to unwanted physical contact, just as both vie for new ward seats. The report, video release, and reactions from female elected officials are now shaping endorsements in the Ward 3 race that covers Piedmont, Oakland, and Alameda.
• UC regents get first look at students' worsening math skills as SAT debate heats up (sfchronicle.com) — Piedmont Unified is one of just two school districts statewide publicly urging UC regents to bring back SAT and ACT requirements, as new data show worsening math performance among undergraduates. Their stance puts local families at the center of a heated debate over equity, academic rigor, and how best to prepare students for increasingly math-heavy college majors.
• Crawford Joins World Rugby Hall of Fame (therugbybreakdown.com) — Piedmont gets a shout-out on the global rugby stage, as Hall of Fame inductee Jen Crawford is credited with co-founding the Piedmont High School girls' rugby club while helping grow the sport nationwide. Her international career, World Cup titles, and club success are highlighted ahead of her induction ceremony tied to a major USA–England match this fall.
