Newspaper Items
Listed by date, grouped by "school year", which usually means July 1 through June 30 (unless we happen to know the actual dates set by the county) with the following important exceptions: (1) items that pertain to the election of teachers for the next school year will be listed under that school year, even if the date of the item is before the actual start of that school year; (2) items about summer vacation activities will be listed under the school year just ended, even if the date of the item is in the next school year. Order of elements in citations: name of newspaper (from the masthead, not the digital archive), date of publication, page, column, any other information that might be helpful in finding the item on the page, such as titles, headlines, section headings, etc. Most of the items are untitled. Most titles and headlines are not useful for anything other than providing some help in finding the item on the page, and that is why I have relegated them to the end of the citation.

- Ventura Free Press, 14 Sept 1900, pg 1, col 2, under "Offical County News: List of Teachers"
- Item Number: n571
- Summary: List of teachers, by school district, for the coming year. Rose S. Ismert is in San Buena Ventura school district. Ella L. Weymouth is in Ocean View school district.
- Note: Many of these districts had only one school, and the name of the school was identical to the name of the district. I think at this time there were two schools in the San Buena Ventura school district, the Plaza school and the Poli (street) or Hill school (which I think were alternate names for the same school).

1901–1902 school year
-
- Los Angeles Herald, 12 Aug 1901, pg 5, col 2, under "Schools Open"
- Item Number: n575
- Summary: News from Ventura county, including items on the schools: Rose Ismert is one of three new teachers that have been selected to fill vacancies in the corps at the grammar school, which will be supervised by J. E. Reynolds, as it was in the previous year. [Based on lists of teachers published in previous and subsequent years, the "grammar school" is the school that is also called the "Plaza school". Rose Ismert is considered a "new teacher", I am guessing, because she resigned previously.]. The county board of education issued certificates to ten teachers, including Eva Weymouth, all of whom are reported to have secured schools in the county.
