Our latest roundup of upcoming events and activities of note

Editor’s note: Before sharing the latest edition of News You Can Use for paid subscribers, a quick breaking news update. The Martinez Education Association, the union that represents Martinez Unified School District’s teachers, announced on Facebook on Monday evening that it has reached a tentative contract agreement with the district, following months of contentious negotiations that included strike threats. No details of the tentative agreement were mentioned in the MEA’s post or immediately disclosed by MUSD. I will include them in a post when they become available.
