Sign up for How To LA, delivered weekday mornings. Topline: U.S. Secretary of Education Miguel Cardona visited a Bell Gardens middle school on Wednesday to promote his call for more before- and after-school programming in public schools. Cardona was flanked by former Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who championed a funding measure for extracurricular programming that Cardona called a national model. The backstory: In 2002, California voters approved Proposition 49, which set aside millions for before- and after school programs in public schools.
