It didn’t take long for Jeanne Hillyard’s students to run out of her class last week, holding their noses.
“I think I put too much water in them,” said Hillyard of the beakers of compost her Jesse Bethel High School students were studying — beakers that were giving off a decidedly putrid smell.
Still, after a few minutes, the students were back at work in Bethel’s Green Academy.
It’s the latest academy established to fulfill the vision of the Vallejo school board and Superintendent Ramona Bishop of having every high school student eventually enrolled in an academy.
