His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

And in the deals that ultimately ended the two labor disputes, each district agreed to consider moratoriums on new charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland’s school board, which hasn’t approved any new charters in several years, is expected to vote this week on whether to officially suspend the approval process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the last two decades, Oakland has been a veritable charter boomtown: There are now \u003ca href=\"https://www.ousdcharters.net/charters-authorized-in-oakland.html\">45 charter schools\u003c/a> attended by about 30 percent of the city’s K-12 students, up from 13 charters in 2003. Largely as a result, the district lost about 17,000 students in those 16 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first charter school in Oakland, and one of the first in the California, opened in 1993 in the Fruitvale neighborhood, just a year after the state Legislature gave charters the green light. Oakland’s public school system had long struggled academically and financially, and with residents eager for better educational options for their children, the city became fertile ground for new charters to take root.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fueled by a large influx of outside funding from wealthy donors and a succession of charter-friendly district superintendents and city and state officials, new charter schools in Oakland proliferated, particularly in the decade after 2000, when the number of charter schools in the city more than tripled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11732119\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 600px\">\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/enrollment_-_oakland_schools-final.gif\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11732119\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/enrollment_-_oakland_schools-final.gif\" alt=\"https://docs.google.com/document/d/18der2D2inCn9SpWtnc1MbGB_mLCDjIwbwATf1qtKz8E/edit\" width=\"600\" height=\"450\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Graphic: A steady decrease in public school enrollment is matched by a similar steady increase in charter school enrollment. \u003ccite>(Elena Lacey/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https://e.infogram.com/9e6db336-6bf3-410c-a22b-8b125f6dc07d?src=embed\" title=\"Copy: Oakland Small Schools\" width=\"800\" height=\"750\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And while certainly not the sole cause of Oakland Unified’s perennial budget woes, the rise of charters is a factor that has undeniably contributed to the district’s fiscal distress. Because OUSD receives per-pupil state funding, having fewer students means a lot less money for the district, even as its school building and administrative costs remain roughly the same. The Los Angeles and Oakland teachers unions frequently cite a 2018 report by the left-leaning Bay Area policy center, In The Public Interest, estimating that charter growth cost \u003cu>\u003ca href=\"http://www.inthepublicinterest.org/wp-content/uploads/ITPI_LAUSDCharters_PolicyBrief_May2016.pdf\">L.A.

They say that charters are being unfairly scapegoated, and argue that these schools fill a dire need for educational alternatives in many underserved communities, where traditional public schools have largely failed to provide students with the quality education they deserve. Charter schools offer parents and students more choices, which they contend is an inherently good thing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters also argue that charters offer a more innovative, customized approach to learning for many students, particularly those in low-income communities, who might otherwise fall through the cracks in traditional public schools. Charters, they say, provide greater academic and financial autonomy and have more direct accountability to the communities they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After two decades of rapid, largely unchecked growth throughout the state, charter schools are now a flashpoint in the debate over the fate of public education in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of his pledge to bring “long overdue” transparency and accountability measures to California’s charter schools, Gov. Gavin Newsom signed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB126\">new legislation\u003c/a> in early March, requiring them to adhere to the same conflict-of-interest and open-meeting rules as their traditional counterparts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The move marks a departure from the lighter-touch approach taken by his charter school-friendly predecessor, Gov. Jerry Brown, who twice vetoed similar legislation — and as mayor of Oakland, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/until-the-end-gov-brown-opposes-more-data-collection-and-charter-school-regulation/606684\">helped launch two charter schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 126 is just the first of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11731298/common-sense-regulations-or-an-extended-middle-finger-how-far-will-california-go-on-charter-schools\">cascade of new bills\u003c/a> introduced by lawmakers that would subject the state’s more than 1,300 charter schools to an increased level of scrutiny and cap their growth statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So let’s take a step back. What exactly are charter schools? And how did they establish such a strong and controversial foothold within California’s education system?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The basic gist\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Charter schools are publicly funded but privately run K-12 schools that are tuition-free. They are considered part of the public school system, although not subject to some of the rules and oversight of traditional schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each of California’s roughly 1,300 charter schools has its own specific goals and operating procedures as laid out in an original proposal (“charter”) that’s been approved by the school district, or the county or state board of education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many charter schools in California are run independently and got their start through grassroots community organizing efforts. A significant number, though, are overseen by large groups, known as charter management organizations, which operate multiple schools and often receive hefty funding from affluent charter boosters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the larger, more well-known of these organizations have expanded to other states, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.kipp.org/\">Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP)\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://aspirepublicschools.org/\">Aspire Public Schools\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://greendot.org/\">Green Dot Public Schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While conventional public schools generally serve students who live within specific geographic zones, most charters are known as “schools of choice,” meaning that anyone can attend, regardless of home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of charter teachers — \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/teacherbeat/2018/12/nations_first_charter_school_strike_ended.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upward of 90 percent\u003c/a> — don’t belong to a union. Teachers can technically vote to join one, and some have, including the roughly 600 teachers and counselors at Green Dot Schools, who are part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.amuanimo.org/\">Asociación de Maestros Unidos\u003c/a>, a California Teachers Association/National Education Association affiliate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until recently, California’s charter schools could be run by both nonprofit and for-profit organizations, as they are in many other states around the country. That changed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">under a 2018 state law\u003c/a>, which banned new for-profit charters. Prior to the law’s enactment, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2018/09/18/california-gov-brown-signs-bill-banning-for-profit-charter-schools-will-it-really-do-that/?utm_term=.3ff28d863045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five for-profit groups operated roughly 35 schools\u003c/a> statewide. The law, which takes effect July 1, allows schools currently run or managed by for-profit companies to remain open as long as they switch to nonprofit management when their charters are up for renewal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When did charter schools start in California … and why?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1992 the state Legislature passed the\u003ca href=\"http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/provgovpart/Documents/sb_1448_bill_chaptered.pdf\"> Charter Schools Act (SB 1448)\u003c/a>, making California the second state in the nation (after Minnesota) to allow public charters. The law’s stated intent was to “provide opportunities for teachers, parents, pupils, and community members to establish and maintain schools that operate independently from the existing school district structure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial law limited the total number of charters in the state to 100, and no more than 10 per school district (except Los Angeles, which was allowed 20) — a cap soon scrapped by subsequent legislation. Funding would “follow the student” after leaving a traditional public school. In 1993, \u003ca href=\"https://scclc.net/\">San Carlos Charter Learning Center\u003c/a>, an elementary school in San Mateo County, became the first charter school in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools in California got a more solid footing after \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cs/as/proposition39.asp\">voters passed Proposition 39 in 2000\u003c/a>, requiring school districts to make facilities available to charter schools that serve students who live within the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, their numbers have skyrocketed, with steady, rapid growth across the state, which has only recently begun to slow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"”Chart:\" aria-describedby=\"”Only\" id=\"”datawrapper-chart-WYs07″\" src=\"%E2%80%9D//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/WYs07/6/%E2%80%9D\" scrolling=\"”no”\" frameborder=\"”0″\" style=\"”width:\" height=\"”332″>\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>With more than 600,000 students in the state’s roughly 1,300 charters schools – about 10 percent of all public school students statewide – California leads the nation in both the number of charters and the number of students attending them (although states like Arizona, Florida and Utah have higher percentages).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re often started in traditionally low-income school districts, as smaller, locally controlled alternatives to underperforming neighborhood schools.

Then, largely as a result of a series of statewide tax measures — namely Proposition 13 — funding quickly slowed to a trickle, and in many districts across the state, the quality of public schools followed suit. Today, California \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2018/jan/17/delaine-eastin/does-california-rank-41st-student-spending-no-1-pr/\">ranks a dismal 41st nationally \u003c/a>in per-pupil public school spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who are some big supporters and opponents?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the generally friendly reception charter schools have received in California over the last two decades, particularly by key state leaders like Gov. Jerry Brown and his predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, they’ve also faced strong resistance from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/\">California Teachers Association\u003c/a> and the local district-level unions it represents. The CTA has consistently lobbied lawmakers to limit their growth and require greater accountability, an effort that seems to now be bearing fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, one of the earliest boosters of the concept of charter schools was Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers, who \u003ca href=\"https://reuther.wayne.edu/files/64.43.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the late 1980s\u003c/a> promoted the idea of creating experimental schools that would be better equipped to accommodate students who had failed in their traditional schools. Just five years later, however, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/charter-schools-are-leading-to-an-unhealthy-divide-in-american-education/2018/06/22/73430df8-7016-11e8-afd5-778aca903bbe_story.html?utm_term=.f3de9ff27b0c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he publicly renounced the idea\u003c/a>, arguing that it had been adopted by anti-union businesses seeking profits. “Vouchers, charter schools, for-profit management schemes are all quick fixes that won’t fix anything,” \u003ca title=\"books.google.com\" href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=dxsFuYUCKcoC&lpg=PA314&ots=pkEjpi111m&dq=vouchers%2C%20charter%20schools%2C%20for-profit%20management%20schemes%20are%20all%20quick%20fixes%20that%20won%E2%80%99t%20fix%20anything&pg=PA314#v=onepage&q=vouchers,%20charter%20schools,%20for-profit%20management%20schemes%20are%20all%20quick%20fixes%20that%20won%E2%80%99t%20fix%20anything&f=false\">he wrote\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pushing back against stricter regulations is the\u003ca href=\"https://www.ccsa.org/\"> California Charter Schools Association\u003c/a>, which represents most of the state’s charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not for a second will I apologize for the growth of charters that are meeting the needs of parents and are contributing to lifting up our brown and black kids, our disadvantaged students and providing them a lifeline of opportunity for greater success in our great state,” Myrna Castrejón, president of CCSA, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-charter-school-data-enrollment-cost-teachers-unions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told CALmatters\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charter school sector is also commonly criticized for receiving large amounts of funding from corporate philanthropies like the Walton Family Foundation and the Gates Foundation, which have both poured millions into charter organizations across the country and strongly influenced education policy in a number of states, including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/92dc914dd97c487a9b9aa4b006909a8c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 Associated Press investigation\u003c/a> found that philanthropists and their private foundations and charities have given almost half a billion dollars to state-level charter support organizations since 2006. California’s charter industry has been a major recipient of that funding, with donors contributing more than $100 million to the CCSA alone, according to the AP, money that the group has used to start up new schools throughout the state as well as lobby for charter-friendly legislation and push pro-charter candidates in local and statewide elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do charters have to follow the same rules as traditional schools, and how do they line up academically?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Charters are largely unbeholden to school boards and school districts and most don’t have to a negotiate with teachers unions. They also generally have a lot more flexibility in terms of hiring, fundraising and allocating resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they still do have to follow some of the same state and federal academic requirements. Students in charters, for instance, have to take the same \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cs/re/qandasec6mar04.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statewide standardized tests\u003c/a> as those in traditional public schools based on Common Core State Standards. And similar to traditional California public schools, charters are required to be nonpartisan in all aspects of their operations, including academic programming, admissions and employment. They can’t charge tuition or discriminate against any student on the basis of gender, ethnicity, country of origin or disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter critics, however, argue that oversight is often lax in many charter schools, and some deliberately attract higher-performing students. That position was supported by \u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/2rKinzE\">a 2017 study\u003c/a> of charter schools in Oakland, which found that charters there tend to enroll students who are more academically prepared than students who attend district-run schools, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/oakland-charters-more-likely-to-enroll-higher-performing-students-than-district-schools/583582\">giving those schools an edge\u003c/a> when compared academically. The study also found that while charters in Oakland receive less public funding than do district schools, they serve a much lower percentage of students with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, there’s little evidence suggesting that charter schools, on average, have higher academic performance rates than traditional public schools. Much depends on the individual school and district.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do you start a charter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Anyone — a parent, teacher, student, educational organization, etc. — can create and circulate a charter petition to start a new charter school or convert a traditional school. As detailed in\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=EDC&division=4.&title=2.&part=26.8.&chapter=2.&article=\"> California’s Education Code\u003c/a>, the petition must include a description of the school’s structure and student performance expectations, as well as an outline of the operational and management procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The petition needs to be signed by either the equivalent of half the number of teachers expected to work at the school during its first year or by the parents or guardians of half the number of students expected to enroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School boards are expected to approve charters in their district unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the plan is educationally unsound. The fiscal impact of the charter can’t be considered in the decision — one of the rules that some legislators are now trying to upend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a local district denies a charter, petitioners can appeal to the county board of education and eventually to the State Board of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools are approved for up to five years, with subsequent five-year renewals. Charters can be revoked if financial mismanagement occurs, or if the school fails to adhere to the terms of the original charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Correction: An earlier version of this story incorrectly stated that students in California charter schools have to take the California High School Exit Exam and that charters are ranked based on the statewide Academic Performance Index. Both of those measures have since been phased out for all schools in California. Charter school and traditional public school students must now participate in the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smarter Balanced Assessment System\u003c/a> based on Common Core State Standards.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown, who twice vetoed similar legislation — and as mayor of Oakland, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/until-the-end-gov-brown-opposes-more-data-collection-and-charter-school-regulation/606684\">helped launch two charter schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SB 126 is just the first of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11731298/common-sense-regulations-or-an-extended-middle-finger-how-far-will-california-go-on-charter-schools\">cascade of new bills\u003c/a> introduced by lawmakers that would subject the state’s more than 1,300 charter schools to an increased level of scrutiny and cap their growth statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So let’s take a step back. What exactly are charter schools? And how did they establish such a strong and controversial foothold within California’s education system?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The basic gist\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Charter schools are publicly funded but privately run K-12 schools that are tuition-free. They are considered part of the public school system, although not subject to some of the rules and oversight of traditional schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Each of California’s roughly 1,300 charter schools has its own specific goals and operating procedures as laid out in an original proposal (“charter”) that’s been approved by the school district, or the county or state board of education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many charter schools in California are run independently and got their start through grassroots community organizing efforts. A significant number, though, are overseen by large groups, known as charter management organizations, which operate multiple schools and often receive hefty funding from affluent charter boosters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some of the larger, more well-known of these organizations have expanded to other states, including \u003ca href=\"http://www.kipp.org/\">Knowledge is Power Program (KIPP)\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"http://aspirepublicschools.org/\">Aspire Public Schools\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://greendot.org/\">Green Dot Public Schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While conventional public schools generally serve students who live within specific geographic zones, most charters are known as “schools of choice,” meaning that anyone can attend, regardless of home address.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The majority of charter teachers — \u003ca href=\"http://blogs.edweek.org/edweek/teacherbeat/2018/12/nations_first_charter_school_strike_ended.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">upward of 90 percent\u003c/a> — don’t belong to a union. Teachers can technically vote to join one, and some have, including the roughly 600 teachers and counselors at Green Dot Schools, who are part of \u003ca href=\"https://www.amuanimo.org/\">Asociación de Maestros Unidos\u003c/a>, a California Teachers Association/National Education Association affiliate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until recently, California’s charter schools could be run by both nonprofit and for-profit organizations, as they are in many other states around the country. That changed \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB406\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">under a 2018 state law\u003c/a>, which banned new for-profit charters. Prior to the law’s enactment, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/education/2018/09/18/california-gov-brown-signs-bill-banning-for-profit-charter-schools-will-it-really-do-that/?utm_term=.3ff28d863045\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">five for-profit groups operated roughly 35 schools\u003c/a> statewide. The law, which takes effect July 1, allows schools currently run or managed by for-profit companies to remain open as long as they switch to nonprofit management when their charters are up for renewal.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>When did charter schools start in California … and why?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In 1992 the state Legislature passed the\u003ca href=\"http://www.dhcs.ca.gov/provgovpart/Documents/sb_1448_bill_chaptered.pdf\"> Charter Schools Act (SB 1448)\u003c/a>, making California the second state in the nation (after Minnesota) to allow public charters. The law’s stated intent was to “provide opportunities for teachers, parents, pupils, and community members to establish and maintain schools that operate independently from the existing school district structure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The initial law limited the total number of charters in the state to 100, and no more than 10 per school district (except Los Angeles, which was allowed 20) — a cap soon scrapped by subsequent legislation. Funding would “follow the student” after leaving a traditional public school. In 1993, \u003ca href=\"https://scclc.net/\">San Carlos Charter Learning Center\u003c/a>, an elementary school in San Mateo County, became the first charter school in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools in California got a more solid footing after \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cs/as/proposition39.asp\">voters passed Proposition 39 in 2000\u003c/a>, requiring school districts to make facilities available to charter schools that serve students who live within the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since then, their numbers have skyrocketed, with steady, rapid growth across the state, which has only recently begun to slow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"”Chart:\" aria-describedby=\"”Only\" id=\"”datawrapper-chart-WYs07″\" src=\"%E2%80%9D//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/WYs07/6/%E2%80%9D\" scrolling=\"”no”\" frameborder=\"”0″\" style=\"”width:\" height=\"”332″>\" width=\"100%\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003cbr>\n\n\u003c/p>\u003cp>With more than 600,000 students in the state’s roughly 1,300 charters schools – about 10 percent of all public school students statewide – California leads the nation in both the number of charters and the number of students attending them (although states like Arizona, Florida and Utah have higher percentages).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’re often started in traditionally low-income school districts, as smaller, locally controlled alternatives to underperforming neighborhood schools.

Then, largely as a result of a series of statewide tax measures — namely Proposition 13 — funding quickly slowed to a trickle, and in many districts across the state, the quality of public schools followed suit. Today, California \u003ca href=\"https://www.politifact.com/california/statements/2018/jan/17/delaine-eastin/does-california-rank-41st-student-spending-no-1-pr/\">ranks a dismal 41st nationally \u003c/a>in per-pupil public school spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Who are some big supporters and opponents?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite the generally friendly reception charter schools have received in California over the last two decades, particularly by key state leaders like Gov. Jerry Brown and his predecessor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, they’ve also faced strong resistance from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/\">California Teachers Association\u003c/a> and the local district-level unions it represents. The CTA has consistently lobbied lawmakers to limit their growth and require greater accountability, an effort that seems to now be bearing fruit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Interestingly, one of the earliest boosters of the concept of charter schools was Albert Shanker, president of the American Federation of Teachers, who \u003ca href=\"https://reuther.wayne.edu/files/64.43.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">in the late 1980s\u003c/a> promoted the idea of creating experimental schools that would be better equipped to accommodate students who had failed in their traditional schools. Just five years later, however, \u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/charter-schools-are-leading-to-an-unhealthy-divide-in-american-education/2018/06/22/73430df8-7016-11e8-afd5-778aca903bbe_story.html?utm_term=.f3de9ff27b0c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he publicly renounced the idea\u003c/a>, arguing that it had been adopted by anti-union businesses seeking profits. “Vouchers, charter schools, for-profit management schemes are all quick fixes that won’t fix anything,” \u003ca title=\"books.google.com\" href=\"https://books.google.com/books?id=dxsFuYUCKcoC&lpg=PA314&ots=pkEjpi111m&dq=vouchers%2C%20charter%20schools%2C%20for-profit%20management%20schemes%20are%20all%20quick%20fixes%20that%20won%E2%80%99t%20fix%20anything&pg=PA314#v=onepage&q=vouchers,%20charter%20schools,%20for-profit%20management%20schemes%20are%20all%20quick%20fixes%20that%20won%E2%80%99t%20fix%20anything&f=false\">he wrote\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pushing back against stricter regulations is the\u003ca href=\"https://www.ccsa.org/\"> California Charter Schools Association\u003c/a>, which represents most of the state’s charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not for a second will I apologize for the growth of charters that are meeting the needs of parents and are contributing to lifting up our brown and black kids, our disadvantaged students and providing them a lifeline of opportunity for greater success in our great state,” Myrna Castrejón, president of CCSA, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-charter-school-data-enrollment-cost-teachers-unions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">told CALmatters\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The charter school sector is also commonly criticized for receiving large amounts of funding from corporate philanthropies like the Walton Family Foundation and the Gates Foundation, which have both poured millions into charter organizations across the country and strongly influenced education policy in a number of states, including California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/92dc914dd97c487a9b9aa4b006909a8c\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2018 Associated Press investigation\u003c/a> found that philanthropists and their private foundations and charities have given almost half a billion dollars to state-level charter support organizations since 2006. California’s charter industry has been a major recipient of that funding, with donors contributing more than $100 million to the CCSA alone, according to the AP, money that the group has used to start up new schools throughout the state as well as lobby for charter-friendly legislation and push pro-charter candidates in local and statewide elections.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Do charters have to follow the same rules as traditional schools, and how do they line up academically?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Charters are largely unbeholden to school boards and school districts and most don’t have to a negotiate with teachers unions. They also generally have a lot more flexibility in terms of hiring, fundraising and allocating resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they still do have to follow some of the same state and federal academic requirements. Students in charters, for instance, have to take the same \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/cs/re/qandasec6mar04.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statewide standardized tests\u003c/a> as those in traditional public schools based on Common Core State Standards. And similar to traditional California public schools, charters are required to be nonpartisan in all aspects of their operations, including academic programming, admissions and employment. They can’t charge tuition or discriminate against any student on the basis of gender, ethnicity, country of origin or disability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter critics, however, argue that oversight is often lax in many charter schools, and some deliberately attract higher-performing students. That position was supported by \u003ca href=\"http://bit.ly/2rKinzE\">a 2017 study\u003c/a> of charter schools in Oakland, which found that charters there tend to enroll students who are more academically prepared than students who attend district-run schools, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/oakland-charters-more-likely-to-enroll-higher-performing-students-than-district-schools/583582\">giving those schools an edge\u003c/a> when compared academically. The study also found that while charters in Oakland receive less public funding than do district schools, they serve a much lower percentage of students with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even so, there’s little evidence suggesting that charter schools, on average, have higher academic performance rates than traditional public schools. Much depends on the individual school and district.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>How do you start a charter?\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Anyone — a parent, teacher, student, educational organization, etc. — can create and circulate a charter petition to start a new charter school or convert a traditional school. As detailed in\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/codes_displayText.xhtml?lawCode=EDC&division=4.&title=2.&part=26.8.&chapter=2.&article=\"> California’s Education Code\u003c/a>, the petition must include a description of the school’s structure and student performance expectations, as well as an outline of the operational and management procedures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The petition needs to be signed by either the equivalent of half the number of teachers expected to work at the school during its first year or by the parents or guardians of half the number of students expected to enroll.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School boards are expected to approve charters in their district unless it can be clearly demonstrated that the plan is educationally unsound. The fiscal impact of the charter can’t be considered in the decision — one of the rules that some legislators are now trying to upend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a local district denies a charter, petitioners can appeal to the county board of education and eventually to the State Board of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter schools are approved for up to five years, with subsequent five-year renewals. Charters can be revoked if financial mismanagement occurs, or if the school fails to adhere to the terms of the original charter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

By law, the application fee can be waived for those who can’t afford it, but the government has decided not to waive it in this case, Gutierrez says, and the client has missed the deadline. She will now have to wait until applications reopen, which could be years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Administrative snafus like these can carry serious consequences. Another client, a recent UCR graduate from Peru, had a DACA work permit lost in the mail nine months ago, and immigration officials have so far refused to send another one, Gutierrez says. A professional photographer, the client is planning a multi-state photography trip but is nervous about leaving California without the permit in hand, though she’s already been approved for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez is helping her draft a letter to U.S. Rep.

Among them is Gutierrez’s last client of the day, Marvin, a burly construction worker whose daughter attends UCR. Marvin, too, came to the United States as a teen, but it was long before DACA existed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I leave my house in the morning,” he says, “but I never know if I’m going to return. Probably my daughters feel it, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez tells him she wants him to be aware of his rights if he’s stopped by immigration officials at one of the checkpoints he sometimes passes on the way to work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The only thing you’re going to tell them is your name and your birthdate,” she coaches him. “If they ask you any other questions, what are you going to say?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to talk to an attorney,” Marvin responds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gutierrez moves her face close to his and barks questions in Spanish, imitating an immigration official.

She takes off her black blazer, pins up her hair and starts entering details into the case-management system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In some ways, she says, she feels like a professional deliverer of bad news. But there are bright moments, like the client who decided she wanted to be a lawyer after talking with Gutierrez, who was the first undocumented attorney she’d ever met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When all else fails, she simply takes a pause.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes I have to leave the office and cry for 10 minutes,” she says. “And then it’s back to work.”\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>",

Newsom said he cannot sign off on executing hundreds of human beings, knowing there are innocent people among them.

Not that she’s condoning anything illegal. “Most people have found loopholes and very legal ways of influencing the admissions process.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s perfectly legal for parents to buy homes in good school districts, pay for tutors and line up impressive internships. Really wealthy parents can win over schools by building a dorm, endowing an academic chair and so on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While those expensive strategies still raise questions of equity and access in higher education, at least the money goes to the good of the wider school community, Mody pointed out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So there is a larger organizational impact,” she said, as opposed to parents sending tens of thousands of dollars into the pockets of con artists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mody predicted university admissions offices, already skeptical of academic and extracurricular resume padding on the part of students, will now vet claims of sports prowess as well. She added dryly that it’s easy enough to check applicants’ Instagram feeds for evidence. “Wait a minute! You don’t play soccer! You haven’t mentioned one thing about soccer in 10 years!”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the campus of Stanford, one of the elite universities that features in this week’s criminal indictments, you don’t have to travel far to see ambitious construction projects and other evidence of a school that gets a lot of love from a lot of wealthy people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is the way a university stays on top of the game, said \u003ca href=\"https://ed.stanford.edu/faculty/aantonio\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anthony Lising Antonio\u003c/a>, an associate professor at Stanford, who focuses on access and equity in education. “We have to have shiny buildings. We have to have award-winning faculty. We have to have competitive sports teams. Those things cost a lot of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJUOGKvyRPE]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antonio says it may be counterintuitive, but children who go to wealthy school districts in places like Silicon Valley really are facing more intense competition trying to get into elite universities. That’s because there are only so many students from each school that will succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elite schools admit single-digit percentages of the thousands of students that apply each year. The more prestigious the school, the more it can afford to be picky and to select for diversity of all kinds. No university wants to pack its student body with lots of kids from the same ZIP code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hand-to-hand combat, right? To get into Stanford. You know, Palo Alto High School might send two students or so, in a given year, to Harvard,” Antonio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that admissions offices play into the rising competition by looking for students who boast increasingly impossible achievements. “There is no end in that scenario,” Antonio said. “It keeps ramping up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shirley Tokheim, head of the English Department at Palo Alto High School, wrote, “While yes, it does seem especially egregious in its own way, the surfacing of this scandal actually brings to light more about how the college game is just that — a game. A game that the wealthy play very well to set their children up for competitive colleges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “I’ve seen for the past decade freaked-out parents who would do anything — anything — to make sure their students have all the advantages. I’ve seen parents who bully teachers over grades, parents who micromanage their students through course selections, teacher selections, etc. So I understand the insanity — I experience and hear about it regularly. It’s all based on fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which profoundly depresses Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford and faculty director of the math education website \u003ca href=\"https://www.youcubed.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouCubed\u003c/a>. “Chasing grades, and APs, and thinking that is the most important thing. And then they don’t develop a love of learning. And for some of those students, they get to these very prestigious places, and they stop and ask themselves, ‘Why am I here? What am I doing?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants her daughters — one in middle school, one in high school — to feel free to follow their passions, even though they live in a region famous for ambitious parents who want their kids to do as well as they did, or better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that this is a moment where we can all stop and talk to our children and try and dispel these ideas that the only route to success and happiness is through these elite colleges,” Boaler said. “I think it’s a really insidious myth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scandal, she said, is a teaching moment for all of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Those things cost a lot of money.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/KJUOGKvyRPE'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/KJUOGKvyRPE'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Antonio says it may be counterintuitive, but children who go to wealthy school districts in places like Silicon Valley really are facing more intense competition trying to get into elite universities. That’s because there are only so many students from each school that will succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elite schools admit single-digit percentages of the thousands of students that apply each year. The more prestigious the school, the more it can afford to be picky and to select for diversity of all kinds. No university wants to pack its student body with lots of kids from the same ZIP code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s hand-to-hand combat, right? To get into Stanford. You know, Palo Alto High School might send two students or so, in a given year, to Harvard,” Antonio said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that admissions offices play into the rising competition by looking for students who boast increasingly impossible achievements. “There is no end in that scenario,” Antonio said. “It keeps ramping up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shirley Tokheim, head of the English Department at Palo Alto High School, wrote, “While yes, it does seem especially egregious in its own way, the surfacing of this scandal actually brings to light more about how the college game is just that — a game. A game that the wealthy play very well to set their children up for competitive colleges.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added, “I’ve seen for the past decade freaked-out parents who would do anything — anything — to make sure their students have all the advantages. I’ve seen parents who bully teachers over grades, parents who micromanage their students through course selections, teacher selections, etc. So I understand the insanity — I experience and hear about it regularly. It’s all based on fear.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of which profoundly depresses Jo Boaler, professor of mathematics education at Stanford and faculty director of the math education website \u003ca href=\"https://www.youcubed.org\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">YouCubed\u003c/a>. “Chasing grades, and APs, and thinking that is the most important thing. And then they don’t develop a love of learning. And for some of those students, they get to these very prestigious places, and they stop and ask themselves, ‘Why am I here? What am I doing?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants her daughters — one in middle school, one in high school — to feel free to follow their passions, even though they live in a region famous for ambitious parents who want their kids to do as well as they did, or better.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I hope that this is a moment where we can all stop and talk to our children and try and dispel these ideas that the only route to success and happiness is through these elite colleges,” Boaler said. “I think it’s a really insidious myth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The scandal, she said, is a teaching moment for all of us.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
