In New York City, Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is returned to office. He had invited voters to hold him accountable for his stewardship of the city鈥檚 schools. (, The New York Times.)

Detroiters pick their first elected school board in six years, made up of four at-large and five district-level members. Their tasks include grappling with the district鈥檚 financial problems and hiring a new superintendent. (, The Detroit News.)

Los Angeles voters approve nearly $4 billion in bonds to build schools. The vote will allow the district to complete its ambitious school construction program. (, Los Angeles Times.)

San Franciscans send a chilling message to military recruiters in schools by approving a ballot measure, 鈥淐ollege Not Combat,鈥 opposing the presence of military recruiters in public high schools and colleges. But it does not ban their presence, which would put schools at risk of losing federal money. (, San Francisco Chronicle.)

School board members supportive of the Wake County, N.C., student-assignment policy are re-elected. At least six of the nine seats on the new board will be held by members who support assigning some students to schools on the basis of family income to achieve diversity. (, The News and Observer.)

In Dover, Pa., eight school board members who supported a plan that introduced students to the concept of 鈥渋ntelligent design鈥 in science classes are ousted by eight challengers who opposed that policy. The policy in the 3,600-student district was the subject of a closely scrutinized federal trial that concluded Nov. 4. (, The Philadelphia Inquirer.)
