It inspired two new California laws to protect them from sexual harassment. She was a key member of the reporting team for the Frontline film \u003cem>Rape on the Night Shift, \u003c/em>which was nominated for two national Emmys. Sasha has also won a national Edward R.

Gavin Newsom, who won office with the support of organized labor, signed fast-tracked legislation requiring charter schools to follow the same open-meeting and conflict of interest laws that school districts must adhere to. The new law and other charter restrictions had previously been vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three bills heard Wednesday aim to make the most significant changes to California’s charter school law in the nearly three decades since its inception. Depending on the viewpoint, the bills either make long-overdue and necessary reforms to how charters are overseen, or mark the beginning of the end for the state’s charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Donnell, a Democrat from Long Beach who authored AB 1505, said his bill “returns local control to school boards.” He stressed that the bill put would not close any existing charter schools. “If you’re a good charter operator, there is nothing for you to worry about in this bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “Some charter schools have exploited every loophole in the law, and this bill begins to close those loopholes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter advocates had a different take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, we could not be more clear: This package of bills is poison, and we will not go quietly,” Myrna Castrejón, the president and CEO of the California Charter Schools Association, told a crowd of supporters before the bill hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combined, the bills would give local school districts the sole power to authorize charter schools, create state and local caps on the number of charters allowed to operate and put strict limits on charter school locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fourth bill sponsored by the state teachers’ union, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB756\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 756\u003c/a>, was not heard by the committee Wednesday, but calls for a five-year moratorium on charters unless the Legislature passes specific reforms by 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest legislative battle over charter schools comes as Newsom has directed state schools superintendent Tony Thurmond to lead a panel to study the financial impact charter schools have on school districts, with recommendations due by July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Democrat from San Diego, cited this ongoing study as her reason for not voting in support or against any of the three charter bills on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no question that after 26 years, there’s a need for a serious discussion about charters in California,” Weber said. But, she added, “I can’t support [the bills] until I get more information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, the author of AB 1506, which would cap the number of charters, noted that previous charter legislation battles have drawn out through the end of session, and that “we’ll be going at it, as we know, until the end of summer, end of August, early September.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The report that the governor and the [state superintendent] are working on will be out within a couple of months and allow us to take a look at their findings and recommendations and potentially bridge them into the proposals that we have here,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Wednesday’s hearings unfurled, the scene at the Capitol was raucous. A line of hundreds of teachers, parents, students, administrators clad in red (in support of teachers unions) and yellow (supporting charters) snaked outside the packed Assembly hearing room where legislators debated the bills. Opponents outnumbered those in support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, the charter advocates and unions held dueling press conferences, and charter proponents rallied and chanted outside a union event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tammy Stanton, CEO of Camino Nuevo Charter Academy in Los Angeles, arrived at the Capitol at 10 a.m. to secure one of the limited seats to the 1:30 p.m. hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill package threatens our existence,” Stanton said. “It repeals our right of due process and allows a school district to close us down if they cannot manage their own fiscal house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve McDougall, president of the Salinas Valley Federation of Teachers, said he had left Salinas at 4 a.m. to testify at the hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While unions and charter advocates have feuded for years, McDougall said Newsom could potentially shift the scales after years of legislative gridlock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s our hope, that he will sign bills such as 1505, 1506 and 1507 and move forward and let everybody play by the same rules,” McDougall said outside the Assembly hearing room. “It’s public money, public funds. Everybody should be playing by the same rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Gavin Newsom, who won office with the support of organized labor, signed fast-tracked legislation requiring charter schools to follow the same open-meeting and conflict of interest laws that school districts must adhere to. The new law and other charter restrictions had previously been vetoed by Gov. Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The three bills heard Wednesday aim to make the most significant changes to California’s charter school law in the nearly three decades since its inception. Depending on the viewpoint, the bills either make long-overdue and necessary reforms to how charters are overseen, or mark the beginning of the end for the state’s charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>O’Donnell, a Democrat from Long Beach who authored AB 1505, said his bill “returns local control to school boards.” He stressed that the bill put would not close any existing charter schools. “If you’re a good charter operator, there is nothing for you to worry about in this bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added, “Some charter schools have exploited every loophole in the law, and this bill begins to close those loopholes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter advocates had a different take.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Today, we could not be more clear: This package of bills is poison, and we will not go quietly,” Myrna Castrejón, the president and CEO of the California Charter Schools Association, told a crowd of supporters before the bill hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Combined, the bills would give local school districts the sole power to authorize charter schools, create state and local caps on the number of charters allowed to operate and put strict limits on charter school locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A fourth bill sponsored by the state teachers’ union, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB756\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SB 756\u003c/a>, was not heard by the committee Wednesday, but calls for a five-year moratorium on charters unless the Legislature passes specific reforms by 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The latest legislative battle over charter schools comes as Newsom has directed state schools superintendent Tony Thurmond to lead a panel to study the financial impact charter schools have on school districts, with recommendations due by July 1.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, a Democrat from San Diego, cited this ongoing study as her reason for not voting in support or against any of the three charter bills on Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no question that after 26 years, there’s a need for a serious discussion about charters in California,” Weber said. But, she added, “I can’t support [the bills] until I get more information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Kevin McCarty, D-Sacramento, the author of AB 1506, which would cap the number of charters, noted that previous charter legislation battles have drawn out through the end of session, and that “we’ll be going at it, as we know, until the end of summer, end of August, early September.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The report that the governor and the [state superintendent] are working on will be out within a couple of months and allow us to take a look at their findings and recommendations and potentially bridge them into the proposals that we have here,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Wednesday’s hearings unfurled, the scene at the Capitol was raucous. A line of hundreds of teachers, parents, students, administrators clad in red (in support of teachers unions) and yellow (supporting charters) snaked outside the packed Assembly hearing room where legislators debated the bills. Opponents outnumbered those in support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier in the day, the charter advocates and unions held dueling press conferences, and charter proponents rallied and chanted outside a union event.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tammy Stanton, CEO of Camino Nuevo Charter Academy in Los Angeles, arrived at the Capitol at 10 a.m. to secure one of the limited seats to the 1:30 p.m. hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This bill package threatens our existence,” Stanton said. “It repeals our right of due process and allows a school district to close us down if they cannot manage their own fiscal house.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve McDougall, president of the Salinas Valley Federation of Teachers, said he had left Salinas at 4 a.m. to testify at the hearings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While unions and charter advocates have feuded for years, McDougall said Newsom could potentially shift the scales after years of legislative gridlock.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s our hope, that he will sign bills such as 1505, 1506 and 1507 and move forward and let everybody play by the same rules,” McDougall said outside the Assembly hearing room. “It’s public money, public funds. Everybody should be playing by the same rules.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

They’re fighting it and a related proposal to bar private colleges from deriving more than 85 percent of their tuition revenue from government financial aid programs.

That’s crazy to put that [responsibility] back on the school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Consumer advocates, however, see the proposals as necessary restraints on a for-profit career training industry that relies heavily on public money but has been plagued by poor outcomes and, in some cases, outright fraud.

Under the proposed gainful employment rule, California’s Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education would need to find out how much debt those students take on, then compare it with wage data from the state’s Employment Development Department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet the bureau itself has struggled to enforce existing state laws, a recent \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-for-profit-colleges-investigation/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">investigation by CALmatters and the Sacramento Bee found\u003c/a>, and is not inspecting schools as often as it is legally required to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Veterans Call for Reform\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The gainful employment bill is one of seven introduced by Democratic lawmakers last month in a bid to tighten oversight of for-profit colleges. Veterans groups are lining up in support of another proposal that would limit the schools’ ability to rely on public funding, including students’ GI Bill benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal law currently bars for-profit colleges from receiving more than 90 percent of their revenue in public financial aid. But that doesn’t include the generous benefits veteran students receive under the GI bill, which can include tuition, a housing allowance and money for books. Veteran and consumer advocates say the loophole gives for-profit colleges an incentive to target veterans with aggressive and sometimes misleading recruiting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a cash cow,” said Ramond Curtis, state policy manager for Veterans Education Success, which is supporting similar bills in Oregon and Maine. “They’ve got a business model around recruiting and defrauding veterans.

How many is in dispute: Johnson said about two-thirds of his organization’s membership could shut down if the legislation passes. A spokesperson for the University of Phoenix said it would likely close its brick-and-mortar California campuses, which enroll about 12,000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Century Foundation, a progressive think tank that supports the bill, estimates 90 percent of for-profit colleges either already comply with the requirements or come close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backlash shows how heavily some for-profit colleges depend on public funds. Lobbyists for the colleges argue that the low-income students they serve simply have no other way to pay tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Apparently, our grave sin is that we enroll people who aren’t rich,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But proponents of the crackdown say schools that offer effective training would attract at least some investment from individuals and employers. They point to the University of California Extension, which offers flexible courses for adult learners and is self-supporting — though most of its students already have bachelor’s degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Programs should rely on at least a modest investment of private dollars to ensure that they have value in a market not fully subsidized by taxpayers and veterans,” said Eggman, who is herself a veteran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also noted another provision in the bill that exempts colleges if they spend at least half of their revenue on instruction, as public community colleges must legally do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/p>\n\n",

How many is in dispute: Johnson said about two-thirds of his organization’s membership could shut down if the legislation passes. A spokesperson for the University of Phoenix said it would likely close its brick-and-mortar California campuses, which enroll about 12,000 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Century Foundation, a progressive think tank that supports the bill, estimates 90 percent of for-profit colleges either already comply with the requirements or come close.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The backlash shows how heavily some for-profit colleges depend on public funds. Lobbyists for the colleges argue that the low-income students they serve simply have no other way to pay tuition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Apparently, our grave sin is that we enroll people who aren’t rich,” Johnson said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But proponents of the crackdown say schools that offer effective training would attract at least some investment from individuals and employers. They point to the University of California Extension, which offers flexible courses for adult learners and is self-supporting — though most of its students already have bachelor’s degrees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Programs should rely on at least a modest investment of private dollars to ensure that they have value in a market not fully subsidized by taxpayers and veterans,” said Eggman, who is herself a veteran.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also noted another provision in the bill that exempts colleges if they spend at least half of their revenue on instruction, as public community colleges must legally do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story and other higher education coverage are supported by the College Futures Foundation.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

In a novel use of California’s charter school rules, the district approved the elementary school’s charter and agreed to oversee it, even though the school was located about 20 miles west of Acton-Agua Dulce’s geographical boundary, within another district that had previously rejected the charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In return, Acton-Agua Dulce collected oversight fees of 3.5 percent of the school’s revenue, a formula that officials quickly replicated with more charter authorizations. By the 2015-16 school year, the district had approved and was collecting fees from a growing stable of charters, netting an additional $1.9 million in revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Albert Einstein elementary school program was ultimately shut down in 2018 because of concerns with its financial model and sustainability, \u003ca href=\"https://signalscv.com/2019/03/former-newhall-superintendent-seeks-charter-school-reform-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this creative arrangement between district and charter became the kindling for a prolonged legislative and legal battle over reforms to California’s system for authorizing charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing claims that the district and the charter network improperly gamed the system, Democratic lawmakers are now redoubling efforts to tighten the rules and better prevent small, financially-strapped districts like Acton-Agua Dulce \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/audit-school-districts-reap-millions-oking-far-flung-charters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from boosting their budgets\u003c/a> by offering authorization and oversight to charter schools dozens, or even hundreds of miles from their supposed minders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue strikes close to home for the legislator behind this year’s proposal to clamp down on so-called “far-flung charters.” Democratic Assemblywoman Christy Smith of Santa Clarita sat on the board of the Newhall School District, where the Einstein charter school her district had rejected was located. Adding insult to injury, the school sat directly across from the district’s administration building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith is the sponsor of \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assembly Bill 1507,\u003c/a> which would prevent charters from being located outside the jurisdiction of the district granting the charter. It’s one of several regulation proposals being \u003ca href=\"https://aedn.assembly.ca.gov/hearings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">considered on Wednesday\u003c/a> by the state Assembly Education Committee that form the battle lines of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/charter-schools-california-legislation-politics-newsom-teachers-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this year’s faceoff\u003c/a> between charter advocates and teachers’ unions. Other measures would cap the total number of charter schools allowed to operate statewide and limit the ability of charters to appeal district petition denials to county and state authorizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In past sessions, the longstanding rivalry between those two politically powerful forces has typically ended more or less in a draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this year, the political calculus has shifted. Both the governor and the state’s top school administrator were elected with strong backing from teachers’ unions, which blame declining enrollment and funding, in part, on competition from the publicly funded, independently operated charters that are mostly staffed by non-union teachers. Already, Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a fast-tracked law that requires charters to follow the same open meeting and conflict of interest laws as traditional schools in the public school system.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Nothing added up’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Between 2010 and 2014, six school districts — Newhall, Saugus Union, Ventura Unified, Los Angeles Unified, Moorpark Unified and Conejo Valley Unified — and the Los Angeles and Ventura County education offices each denied Einstein’s charter petition appeals, according to a Los Angeles county report, legislative testimony and local media reports. One district, Saugus Union, denied four separate petitions from the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their rejections, the districts and counties raised similar concerns over the school’s financial viability and lack of specifics on how it planned to educate specific student groups, such as special needs students and English language learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We took a look at the finances — again, four different times — and nothing added up,” said Joan Lucid, a retired superintendent of the Saugus Union School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kept being told, ‘Well, we’re going to have a grant from someone. Someone’s going to give us some money. We’re thinking we’ll have this or we’ll have that.’ And when we actually did an analysis of the figures that were there, nothing added up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rabbi Mark Blazer, the founder of the Einstein charter network, downplayed the financial concerns raised by school districts in their charter application denials, and said he felt school districts in the Santa Clarita Valley were innately hostile toward charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tension, he said, is why he believes charter authorizations should be handled primarily at the state level, not through local school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we had one authorization, if there was a statewide authorization, we would’ve been fine,” Blazer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in 2013, the Albert Einstein charter school network discovered Acton-Agua Dulce, a district where enrollment had been declining so inexorably for so long that, in one five-year stretch after the 2008 recession, one elementary school had lost more than half its student body. In a decade, overall enrollment had fallen by more than 40 percent, from 1,849 to 1,080 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blazer said he saw “a cooperative district” that “was willing to work with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then-superintendent Brent Woodard had proposed a plan that called for Acton to “approve approximately 24 high quality, diverse charter schools” by summer 2016 as a way to bring in more students, according to a presentation to the school board. The district expected to earn more than $1.2 million in revenue as part of its multiyear plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Charter Schools Act of 1992, a governing school board can approve a location in another district if no suitable site is available in the chartering district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the new Einstein school opened, the Newhall school district \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1353279-first-amended-petition-for-writ-of-mandate-and.html\">sued\u003c/a> the Acton-Agua Dulce district and the charter school they oversaw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, the role of charter school authorizer was fairly new territory for Acton-Agua Dulce. Up until 2012, the district had never authorized a charter school. But within three years, it had about twice as many students in charter schools than it did in non-charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Explosive Charter Growth in Acton-Agua Dulce\" aria-label=\"Interactive line chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-MWIMp\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/MWIMp/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" height=\"386\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘They’re doing it for the money!’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>School boards and district officials pushing for tighter restrictions on charter locations contend that they have the responsibility for — and thus should have the ultimate authority over — the learning programs offered by public schools within their boundaries. Newhall alleged that Acton’s authorization had usurped its local control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have locally elected school board members who were supposedly making the determination for educational programs inside their district, and then some other district decides what’s best for that district,” said Marc Winger, a former Newhall superintendent who served when Smith sat on the school board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re 20 miles away, they know nothing about it, and on top of that, we have proof that they’re doing it for money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outrage mounted as more and more Acton charters popped up in communities outside its boundaries. Santa Clarita Valley school officials went to Sacramento and began lobbying. Meanwhile, other school districts also went to court over other far-flung charters: Suits were filed by Pasadena Unified and Los Angeles Unified, where Acton approved another charter school in the San Fernando Valley. And San Diego Unified sued the tiny, rural Alpine Union School District for authorizing another Albert Einstein charter within its boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commenting in a \u003ca href=\"https://scvnews.com/2014/05/19/albert-einstein-academy-refuses-saugus-districts-space-offer/\">May 2014 Santa Clarita Valley Signal article\u003c/a> about Albert Einstein Academy, Assemblywoman Smith, then a Newhall trustee, accused Acton of “engaging in pay-to-play practices,” called the Einstein authorization a “rubber stamp” and called on the state “to put an end to these abusive practices and waste.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Am I opposed to this type of bad actor in the charter business? Absolutely!” Smith wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newhall eventually won its suit, and\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1263\"> Senate Bill 1263,\u003c/a> which would have required permission from the host districts for a remote authorization, passed both the state Senate and Assembly, but was vetoed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who had been a strong proponent of charter schools while he was mayor of Oakland, and helped start two in the city, expressed concerns that the bill’s language might uproot existing charters. Yet in his \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1263\">veto message\u003c/a>, he acknowledged that “some districts and charter schools have gone against the spirit of the law and the exemption has instead become the rule.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By early 2017, Brent Woodard, the superintendent who oversaw Acton’s rapid charter growth, had left the district, citing “\u003ca href=\"https://signalscv.com/2016/12/acton-agua-dulce-unified-superintendent-announces-resignation/\">multifarious reasons\u003c/a>,” the Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in November 2017, the California State Auditor released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bsa.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2016-141.pdf\">yearlong report,\u003c/a> at the request of the Legislature, that detailed school districts’ financial incentive to approve charter schools outside of their boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specifically, the audit noted that the district approved charter applications — including one for the Einstein school in Agua Dulce — that did not have the required number of signatures from prospective parents and teachers meant to gauge community support and demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s audit also found that the Einstein school “consistently failed to meet the district’s minimum (financial) reserve requirement,” putting it at risk for closure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By then, Action had authorized some 15 charter schools, including three other Albert Einstein Academy schools — one based in Agua Dulce, and two others in Valencia and Beverly Hills, 50 miles southwest of the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, more than 14,000 charter school students are enrolled in the district, many of them in non-classroom based programs. Less than one-tenth of Acton’s total enrollment is in its traditional public school classrooms, and its charter enrollment total trails only San Diego and Los Angeles, the state’s two largest school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s directory of public schools shows that Acton has approved 27 separate charter schools since 2012, including some that appeared never to have actually operated before they closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>State or local control?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By June 2018, all charter schools in California affiliated with Einstein charter school network \u003ca href=\"https://signalscv.com/2018/04/einstein-academy-announces-its-relinquishing-charter/\">had closed\u003c/a> as the district “began to question publicly in discussions with the board their financial status,” said Lawrence King, Acton’s new superintendent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or, as Winger, the former Newhall superintendent put it, “The financial problems that we predicted (in 2010) came true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, King describes the district’s approach to charters as “the farthest thing from a rubber stamp or a financial motivation.” Though he acknowledges that the district oversees a large number of charter schools, he points out that the district has not authorized a new charter since October 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Districts abused this loophole’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It is unknown exactly how many of the state’s 1,300-plus charter schools are based outside of their authorizing district’s boundaries. State auditors in a 2017 report that investigated the Acton-Agua Dulce district noted it was next to impossible to tally a count of far-flung charter schools, in part because the state does not require charter schools to list all of the locations of their classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, state auditors identified at least 165 charter schools across California that appeared to be operating outside their authorizing district in 2016-17. Many are in small school districts. A recent \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-charter-school-data-enrollment-cost-teachers-unions/\">CALmatters analysis\u003c/a> of charter school growth in California found that nearly one-fifth of the state’s 630,000 charter students came from schools authorized by districts that had fewer than 1,500 kids in their traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith’s office declined to grant an interview to discuss her proposed legislation, but in a statement, she said her bill “continues to address charter transparency goals that have been set forth by Governor Newsom and the Legislature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, she added, “restores the right of individual districts to have oversight of schools located within their boundaries. In my tenure as a school board member, neighboring districts abused this loophole and authorization privilege and families were impacted because of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original version of this article \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/charter-schools-california-far-flung-loophole-acton-newhall/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appears on the CALmatters site\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://CALMATTERS.ORG\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

By the 2015-16 school year, the district had approved and was collecting fees from a growing stable of charters, netting an additional $1.9 million in revenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Albert Einstein elementary school program was ultimately shut down in 2018 because of concerns with its financial model and sustainability, \u003ca href=\"https://signalscv.com/2019/03/former-newhall-superintendent-seeks-charter-school-reform-2/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this creative arrangement between district and charter became the kindling for a prolonged legislative and legal battle over reforms to California’s system for authorizing charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Citing claims that the district and the charter network improperly gamed the system, Democratic lawmakers are now redoubling efforts to tighten the rules and better prevent small, financially-strapped districts like Acton-Agua Dulce \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/audit-school-districts-reap-millions-oking-far-flung-charters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">from boosting their budgets\u003c/a> by offering authorization and oversight to charter schools dozens, or even hundreds of miles from their supposed minders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The issue strikes close to home for the legislator behind this year’s proposal to clamp down on so-called “far-flung charters.” Democratic Assemblywoman Christy Smith of Santa Clarita sat on the board of the Newhall School District, where the Einstein charter school her district had rejected was located. Adding insult to injury, the school sat directly across from the district’s administration building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith is the sponsor of \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assembly Bill 1507,\u003c/a> which would prevent charters from being located outside the jurisdiction of the district granting the charter. It’s one of several regulation proposals being \u003ca href=\"https://aedn.assembly.ca.gov/hearings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">considered on Wednesday\u003c/a> by the state Assembly Education Committee that form the battle lines of \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/charter-schools-california-legislation-politics-newsom-teachers-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">this year’s faceoff\u003c/a> between charter advocates and teachers’ unions. Other measures would cap the total number of charter schools allowed to operate statewide and limit the ability of charters to appeal district petition denials to county and state authorizers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In past sessions, the longstanding rivalry between those two politically powerful forces has typically ended more or less in a draw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this year, the political calculus has shifted. Both the governor and the state’s top school administrator were elected with strong backing from teachers’ unions, which blame declining enrollment and funding, in part, on competition from the publicly funded, independently operated charters that are mostly staffed by non-union teachers. Already, Gov. Gavin Newsom has signed a fast-tracked law that requires charters to follow the same open meeting and conflict of interest laws as traditional schools in the public school system.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Nothing added up’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Between 2010 and 2014, six school districts — Newhall, Saugus Union, Ventura Unified, Los Angeles Unified, Moorpark Unified and Conejo Valley Unified — and the Los Angeles and Ventura County education offices each denied Einstein’s charter petition appeals, according to a Los Angeles county report, legislative testimony and local media reports. One district, Saugus Union, denied four separate petitions from the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their rejections, the districts and counties raised similar concerns over the school’s financial viability and lack of specifics on how it planned to educate specific student groups, such as special needs students and English language learners.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We took a look at the finances — again, four different times — and nothing added up,” said Joan Lucid, a retired superintendent of the Saugus Union School District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We kept being told, ‘Well, we’re going to have a grant from someone. Someone’s going to give us some money. We’re thinking we’ll have this or we’ll have that.’ And when we actually did an analysis of the figures that were there, nothing added up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rabbi Mark Blazer, the founder of the Einstein charter network, downplayed the financial concerns raised by school districts in their charter application denials, and said he felt school districts in the Santa Clarita Valley were innately hostile toward charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This tension, he said, is why he believes charter authorizations should be handled primarily at the state level, not through local school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we had one authorization, if there was a statewide authorization, we would’ve been fine,” Blazer said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then in 2013, the Albert Einstein charter school network discovered Acton-Agua Dulce, a district where enrollment had been declining so inexorably for so long that, in one five-year stretch after the 2008 recession, one elementary school had lost more than half its student body. In a decade, overall enrollment had fallen by more than 40 percent, from 1,849 to 1,080 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Blazer said he saw “a cooperative district” that “was willing to work with us.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then-superintendent Brent Woodard had proposed a plan that called for Acton to “approve approximately 24 high quality, diverse charter schools” by summer 2016 as a way to bring in more students, according to a presentation to the school board. The district expected to earn more than $1.2 million in revenue as part of its multiyear plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the Charter Schools Act of 1992, a governing school board can approve a location in another district if no suitable site is available in the chartering district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the new Einstein school opened, the Newhall school district \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1353279-first-amended-petition-for-writ-of-mandate-and.html\">sued\u003c/a> the Acton-Agua Dulce district and the charter school they oversaw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, the role of charter school authorizer was fairly new territory for Acton-Agua Dulce. Up until 2012, the district had never authorized a charter school. But within three years, it had about twice as many students in charter schools than it did in non-charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Explosive Charter Growth in Acton-Agua Dulce\" aria-label=\"Interactive line chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-MWIMp\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/MWIMp/2/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" height=\"386\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘They’re doing it for the money!’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>School boards and district officials pushing for tighter restrictions on charter locations contend that they have the responsibility for — and thus should have the ultimate authority over — the learning programs offered by public schools within their boundaries. Newhall alleged that Acton’s authorization had usurped its local control.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You have locally elected school board members who were supposedly making the determination for educational programs inside their district, and then some other district decides what’s best for that district,” said Marc Winger, a former Newhall superintendent who served when Smith sat on the school board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re 20 miles away, they know nothing about it, and on top of that, we have proof that they’re doing it for money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Outrage mounted as more and more Acton charters popped up in communities outside its boundaries. Santa Clarita Valley school officials went to Sacramento and began lobbying. Meanwhile, other school districts also went to court over other far-flung charters: Suits were filed by Pasadena Unified and Los Angeles Unified, where Acton approved another charter school in the San Fernando Valley. And San Diego Unified sued the tiny, rural Alpine Union School District for authorizing another Albert Einstein charter within its boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Commenting in a \u003ca href=\"https://scvnews.com/2014/05/19/albert-einstein-academy-refuses-saugus-districts-space-offer/\">May 2014 Santa Clarita Valley Signal article\u003c/a> about Albert Einstein Academy, Assemblywoman Smith, then a Newhall trustee, accused Acton of “engaging in pay-to-play practices,” called the Einstein authorization a “rubber stamp” and called on the state “to put an end to these abusive practices and waste.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Am I opposed to this type of bad actor in the charter business? Absolutely!” Smith wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newhall eventually won its suit, and\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1263\"> Senate Bill 1263,\u003c/a> which would have required permission from the host districts for a remote authorization, passed both the state Senate and Assembly, but was vetoed by then-Gov. Jerry Brown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who had been a strong proponent of charter schools while he was mayor of Oakland, and helped start two in the city, expressed concerns that the bill’s language might uproot existing charters. Yet in his \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billStatusClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SB1263\">veto message\u003c/a>, he acknowledged that “some districts and charter schools have gone against the spirit of the law and the exemption has instead become the rule.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By early 2017, Brent Woodard, the superintendent who oversaw Acton’s rapid charter growth, had left the district, citing “\u003ca href=\"https://signalscv.com/2016/12/acton-agua-dulce-unified-superintendent-announces-resignation/\">multifarious reasons\u003c/a>,” the Santa Clarita Valley Signal reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then, in November 2017, the California State Auditor released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.bsa.ca.gov/pdfs/reports/2016-141.pdf\">yearlong report,\u003c/a> at the request of the Legislature, that detailed school districts’ financial incentive to approve charter schools outside of their boundaries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Specifically, the audit noted that the district approved charter applications — including one for the Einstein school in Agua Dulce — that did not have the required number of signatures from prospective parents and teachers meant to gauge community support and demand.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s audit also found that the Einstein school “consistently failed to meet the district’s minimum (financial) reserve requirement,” putting it at risk for closure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By then, Action had authorized some 15 charter schools, including three other Albert Einstein Academy schools — one based in Agua Dulce, and two others in Valencia and Beverly Hills, 50 miles southwest of the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, more than 14,000 charter school students are enrolled in the district, many of them in non-classroom based programs. Less than one-tenth of Acton’s total enrollment is in its traditional public school classrooms, and its charter enrollment total trails only San Diego and Los Angeles, the state’s two largest school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s directory of public schools shows that Acton has approved 27 separate charter schools since 2012, including some that appeared never to have actually operated before they closed.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>State or local control?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>By June 2018, all charter schools in California affiliated with Einstein charter school network \u003ca href=\"https://signalscv.com/2018/04/einstein-academy-announces-its-relinquishing-charter/\">had closed\u003c/a> as the district “began to question publicly in discussions with the board their financial status,” said Lawrence King, Acton’s new superintendent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Or, as Winger, the former Newhall superintendent put it, “The financial problems that we predicted (in 2010) came true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today, King describes the district’s approach to charters as “the farthest thing from a rubber stamp or a financial motivation.” Though he acknowledges that the district oversees a large number of charter schools, he points out that the district has not authorized a new charter since October 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>‘Districts abused this loophole’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>It is unknown exactly how many of the state’s 1,300-plus charter schools are based outside of their authorizing district’s boundaries. State auditors in a 2017 report that investigated the Acton-Agua Dulce district noted it was next to impossible to tally a count of far-flung charter schools, in part because the state does not require charter schools to list all of the locations of their classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonetheless, state auditors identified at least 165 charter schools across California that appeared to be operating outside their authorizing district in 2016-17. Many are in small school districts. A recent \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-charter-school-data-enrollment-cost-teachers-unions/\">CALmatters analysis\u003c/a> of charter school growth in California found that nearly one-fifth of the state’s 630,000 charter students came from schools authorized by districts that had fewer than 1,500 kids in their traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith’s office declined to grant an interview to discuss her proposed legislation, but in a statement, she said her bill “continues to address charter transparency goals that have been set forth by Governor Newsom and the Legislature.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bill, she added, “restores the right of individual districts to have oversight of schools located within their boundaries. In my tenure as a school board member, neighboring districts abused this loophole and authorization privilege and families were impacted because of this.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The original version of this article \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/charter-schools-california-far-flung-loophole-acton-newhall/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appears on the CALmatters site\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://CALMATTERS.ORG\">\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Based on Congressional Budget Office data, Skinner's staff estimates companies doing business in California are saving between $17 billion and $20 billion a year in federal taxes because of the cuts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/vanessarancano/status/1115302296219336704\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our hugely profitable corporations did not need Trump’s massive tax cut windfall. SB 37 will allow California to capture part of that giveaway and redirect funds to state programs that need it most — like public education and social services,” UC Berkeley professor and former U.S. Labor Secretary Robert Reich said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawmakers also argued the bill would incentivize corporations to reduce income disparities between their highest and lowest-paid employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“SB 37 also begins to address California’s widening income inequality by telling big companies: Stop overpaying wealthy CEOs and underpaying your workers,” Reich said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Thornberg, founding partner of research and consulting firm Beacon Economics, said he sees a lot to like in the bill, but he takes issue with lawmakers’ focus on corporate pay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He argues the bill’s progressive tax, based on CEO-employee pay discrepancies, is ripe for manipulation. He said companies will likely find clever ways to get around it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trying to make a smarter tax is a good idea,” Thornberg said. “Don’t blow it up by trying to be so clever.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the broader implications for businesses, some are worried. David Wolfe, legislative director of the Howard Jarvis Taxpayers Association, argues the increased taxes will filter down to consumers in the form of higher prices or push corporations out of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While moving out of state wouldn't spare businesses from the increased tax rate, Wolfe argues a lower overall tax burden — including payroll, property and sales taxes — might look appealing in the face of a rate bump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you make yourself economically uncompetitive, there’s going to be consequences,” Wolfe said. “People are going to pick up and move.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thornberg doesn’t buy it. “California is a relatively expensive place to do business as it is,” he said. “Businesses want to be here. There’s lots of reasons for them to be here. I’d be hard pressed to pretend that this is the straw that’s going to break the camel’s back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",
