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.",

She was already in the middle of her senior year of high school back in Honduras. The Oakland Unified School District enrolled her in the ninth grade because she didn’t speak English and she had no school records with her. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Yamileth stopped going to class just after a few months. A fellow student bullied her. She got beat up, her hair pulled, and was called names like “enana,” or dwarf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, she was able to transfer to Oakland International High School, a school with students from all over the world, with an intense focus on English development and academic content. Yamileth loved it, but she was behind, and time was running out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2121\">A law passed last fall\u003c/a> in California allows newly-arrived immigrant students to enroll in a fifth year of high school if necessary, but they still need to finish before they turn 21. When Yamileth was about to turn 20 and only in her second full year of high school, she realized there was no way she could get enough credits to graduate in time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was also embarrassed because of my age,” she said. “I was 19, almost 20, and I was still in high school. I said to myself, 'no, I’m going to be 21 and still in high school, no!'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when Oakland Unified offered her a new option: a continuation school just for immigrant students who are 16 or older, have been in the United States for fewer than three years, and who need to work or care for their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before Rudsdale, she wouldn't be a student we would send to continuation school because maybe her English wasn't strong enough, but now we have this opportunity,” said Elizabeth Paniagua, a counselor at Oakland International High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://interactive.pri.org/embeds/2019-02/oakland-school-490.html\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County has received \u003ca href=\"https://www.acf.hhs.gov/orr/resource/unaccompanied-alien-children-released-to-sponsors-by-county\">the second-largest number\u003c/a> of unaccompanied minors in California, second only to Los Angeles. The largest school district in the county — Oakland Unified School District — experienced a spike in newcomer students in high school from 575 students in 2013 to 2014, to 1,337 students in 2017 to 2018, according to district officials. The district responded by opening up new programs, hiring a coordinator to track and support those students who had crossed the border alone and working to connect students to legal services and mental health therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District leaders found that these students are more likely than others to drop out before finishing high school.

But these schools usually don't offer English as second language classes or have staff with expertise in teaching and supporting newcomers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classes at Rudsdale are small. School starts an hour later and ends an hour earlier than a traditional high school, with classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. This allows students to get to work in the afternoon, and to sleep in after working late at night. There’s no homework. And credits are earned on a six-week cycle, allowing students to constantly assess their progress toward graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a schedule that worked for Yamileth, who was also working as a dishwasher in a restaurant while going to school. She didn’t get off work until 11:00 p.m. and often wouldn’t get home until midnight. Sometimes, she says, she would miss four days of school in a row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I didn’t stop my studies,” she said in Spanish. “When I would come back to school, I would find out how far I was behind and I would go early to make up my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Principal Emma Batten-Bowman says getting students to show up to class is a big challenge, but she and other staff try to offer flexibility, allowing a student who is a mother to go home and breastfeed between classes, for example, or giving students time off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly talking to the students about, ‘Let us know if your schedule changes, we can put you on independent study for a short time, or we can work something out. Let us figure out a plan together. Don’t just drop off the face of the earth,’” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest challenges for many recent newcomers from Central America is missed years of schooling in their home countries, either because they lived in rural communities where junior high or high school was not available, or because it was dangerous to attend school because of gangs. When newcomers haven’t yet mastered academic reading, writing, or math in their home language, they have a lot more to learn in order to grasp high-school level material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do they need to practice phonics, but they need to learn how to read a map. They need to know, like, you put the holes on the left and write your name on the right, some basic school skills organization,” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamileth says she felt more confident at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were all learning English,\" she said, \"so I knew there was no one who knew more than I did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731745\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731745\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school also offers some internships to improve students’ work skills.

He ran into a former student who had transferred to Rudsdale and the difference was palpable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was sharing he had an internship in a hospital and he was super excited.

She was already in the middle of her senior year of high school back in Honduras. The Oakland Unified School District enrolled her in the ninth grade because she didn’t speak English and she had no school records with her. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Yamileth stopped going to class just after a few months. A fellow student bullied her. She got beat up, her hair pulled, and was called names like “enana,” or dwarf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, she was able to transfer to Oakland International High School, a school with students from all over the world, with an intense focus on English development and academic content. Yamileth loved it, but she was behind, and time was running out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2121\">A law passed last fall\u003c/a> in California allows newly-arrived immigrant students to enroll in a fifth year of high school if necessary, but they still need to finish before they turn 21. When Yamileth was about to turn 20 and only in her second full year of high school, she realized there was no way she could get enough credits to graduate in time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was also embarrassed because of my age,” she said. “I was 19, almost 20, and I was still in high school. I said to myself, 'no, I’m going to be 21 and still in high school, no!'\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was when Oakland Unified offered her a new option: a continuation school just for immigrant students who are 16 or older, have been in the United States for fewer than three years, and who need to work or care for their families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Before Rudsdale, she wouldn't be a student we would send to continuation school because maybe her English wasn't strong enough, but now we have this opportunity,” said Elizabeth Paniagua, a counselor at Oakland International High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://interactive.pri.org/embeds/2019-02/oakland-school-490.html\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"500\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" align=\"center\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda County has received \u003ca href=\"https://www.acf.hhs.gov/orr/resource/unaccompanied-alien-children-released-to-sponsors-by-county\">the second-largest number\u003c/a> of unaccompanied minors in California, second only to Los Angeles. The largest school district in the county — Oakland Unified School District — experienced a spike in newcomer students in high school from 575 students in 2013 to 2014, to 1,337 students in 2017 to 2018, according to district officials. The district responded by opening up new programs, hiring a coordinator to track and support those students who had crossed the border alone and working to connect students to legal services and mental health therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District leaders found that these students are more likely than others to drop out before finishing high school. Teachers would suddenly not hear from students again and have no idea what happened to them, or find them serving food at a local restaurant instead of in class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we were seeing was that students were having to choose basically between work and school, so there would be some students who might be truant for, like, two weeks, a month, a whole marking period or a semester,” said Acacia Woods-Chan, who teaches newcomers at Castlemont High School.

But these schools usually don't offer English as second language classes or have staff with expertise in teaching and supporting newcomers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classes at Rudsdale are small. School starts an hour later and ends an hour earlier than a traditional high school, with classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. This allows students to get to work in the afternoon, and to sleep in after working late at night. There’s no homework. And credits are earned on a six-week cycle, allowing students to constantly assess their progress toward graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a schedule that worked for Yamileth, who was also working as a dishwasher in a restaurant while going to school. She didn’t get off work until 11:00 p.m. and often wouldn’t get home until midnight. Sometimes, she says, she would miss four days of school in a row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I didn’t stop my studies,” she said in Spanish. “When I would come back to school, I would find out how far I was behind and I would go early to make up my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Principal Emma Batten-Bowman says getting students to show up to class is a big challenge, but she and other staff try to offer flexibility, allowing a student who is a mother to go home and breastfeed between classes, for example, or giving students time off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly talking to the students about, ‘Let us know if your schedule changes, we can put you on independent study for a short time, or we can work something out. Let us figure out a plan together. Don’t just drop off the face of the earth,’” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest challenges for many recent newcomers from Central America is missed years of schooling in their home countries, either because they lived in rural communities where junior high or high school was not available, or because it was dangerous to attend school because of gangs. When newcomers haven’t yet mastered academic reading, writing, or math in their home language, they have a lot more to learn in order to grasp high-school level material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do they need to practice phonics, but they need to learn how to read a map. They need to know, like, you put the holes on the left and write your name on the right, some basic school skills organization,” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamileth says she felt more confident at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were all learning English,\" she said, \"so I knew there was no one who knew more than I did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731745\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731745\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school also offers some internships to improve students’ work skills.

"content": "\u003cp>With new fast-tracked transparency rules for charter schools in California, Gov. Gavin Newsom has fulfilled a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsom-charter-transparency-amid-la-strike/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January pledge\u003c/a> to bring “long overdue” accountability measures to this growing sector of publicly funded schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">open meeting and disclosure law\u003c/a> Newsom signed Tuesday, which requires charter schools to abide by the same conflict of interest and open meeting rules as traditional district schools — rules that Gov. Jerry Brown quashed several times — may turn out to be the least controversial part of state lawmakers’ push for tighter charter school regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several bills, introduced as teachers strikes have amplified the issue, would impose far more consequential and politically loaded restrictions on the state’s 1,300-plus charter schools, which are publicly-funded, privately-managed schools that operate outside of the control of school districts and have mostly non-union teaching staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among them:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A cap on charter schools at their current level.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Strict limits on charter school locations and the appeal of charters denied by local school districts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>New rules that would let districts deny a charter based, at least in part, on the potential financial impact on traditional public schools.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bills \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1505\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1506\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1507\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1508 \u003c/a>would curb the growth of California’s charter schools, which educate about 10 percent of the state’s 6.2 million public-school students. Legislators pushing the proposals say they are long-needed revisions to laws that have gone mostly unchanged for decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But unlike \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Senate Bill 126\u003c/a>, which Newsom signed Tuesday, and which received little opposition from charter school advocates, the forthcoming proposals can expect vigorous and organized pushback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are the policy equivalent of an extended middle finger,” said Eric Premack, executive director and founder of the Sacramento-based Charter Schools Development Center. “This is not the type of legislation that is designed to engender constructive discussion.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers unions, however, are welcoming the legislation with open arms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s been a long time coming,” Alex Caputo-Pearl, president of United Teachers Los Angeles, said of the proposed bills, which he called “common-sense regulations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The massive community support that was seen in both the L.A. and Oakland teachers’ strikes showed that parents and communities and the public are willing to fight for the sustainability of public schools,” Caputo-Pearl added. The “most important” bill of the bunch, he said, would place caps on the number of new charter schools that can be created.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom was noncommittal about the upcoming charter proposals at a Tuesday signing ceremony for SB 126. But the governor also said that he was “exhausted” by the intense, polarizing debates surrounding the role of charter schools in California and was “hopeful, but not naive” about the prospects for consensus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to make sure that I’m a conduit to a package that can be broadly supported,” he said. “The goal over the next few months is to work to address a number of these vexing issues that frankly need to be addressed. It’s long overdue to have these conversations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor emphasized that he’s already asked state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond to commission a report studying the financial impact of charter school growth on districts’ budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe title=\"Map: Map: Where Are Students Attending Charter Schools?\" aria-describedby=\"The majority of California's charter school student population is concentrated in Los Angeles, San Diego and Bay Area counties.

O’Donnell said he would consider the Thurmond-led panel’s recommendations, but did not plan to wait for the report’s completion to advance the bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to kick the can down the road, which has been done so many times in Sacramento, and wait and hope that some committee that someone has put together comes up with wise recommendations. I’m going to act,” O’Donnell told CALmatters. “This is the year where I’ve seen the largest push and the most fervor and a sense of urgency (to address this issue).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Kevin Kiley of Rocklin, the education committee vice chair and sole Republican, said the proposed bills are “all very bad ideas – each and every one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is just fundamentally an issue of educational equity,” Kiley said. “And I think the debate over these bills is going to be a chance to see who in the Legislature cares about providing every child in California access to a great education and who has other priorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new political landscape follows a prolong period during which California’s powerful teachers unions and the charter school movement often \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/education-foes-fight-draw-sacramento/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fought for influence \u003c/a>in Sacramento as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-charter-school-data-enrollment-cost-teachers-unions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charter enrollment exploded\u003c/a> throughout the state. The charter school movement often found support from moderate Democrats, Republicans and Brown, who started two charter schools when he was mayor of Oakland; teachers unions, meanwhile, have largely counted on the support of progressive Democrats, who have more consistently defended traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2018 elections, however, upended part of that political calculus. Unions and billionaire school reform advocates pumped tens of millions of dollars into the primary and general election campaigns, with Newsom and Thurmond—labor-backed candidates—emerging as the victors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile teacher strikes, both nationally and in California, have further inflamed the debate over charters, which advocates have typically presented as an antidote to low-performing public schools in low-income areas, and unions have framed as a drain on funding and resources for traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Rogers, professor of education at UCLA, said the 2018 election “sent a signal to Democratic legislators that there is a change afoot in the way the broader public, in particular Democratic voters, are thinking about charters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two deals that resolved the strikes in Los Angeles and Oakland included commitments from both local school boards to consider enacting a moratorium on the growth of charter schools while their budget impacts could be more carefully scrutinized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after the Los Angeles Unified school board passed its resolution, Newsom asked Thurmond to lead a panel, despite concerns among charter advocates that the strike rhetoric unfairly scapegoated charters. Both districts have seen a huge growth in charter schools in the last 20 years, although their financial turmoil stems from numerous factors, including rising employee pension and health care costs and declining enrollment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myrna Castrejón, president and CEO of the California Charter Schools Association, joined Newsom in his bill-signing ceremony Tuesday. Though the association took a neutral stance on SB 126, Castrejón called the legislation “a balanced and comprehensive resolution” and touted Newsom’s leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castrejón said the proposed charter regulation bills soon to be debated were “terrible policy,” but expressed hope that Newsom could guide those conversations toward consensus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the leadership of our new governor and partners willing to come to the table and have serious conversations and solve serious problems, we’re hopeful that that spirit can carry us through to a better conversation about this package of bills that in the end would damage California’s students,” Castrejón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org\u003c/em>\u003cem> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom has fulfilled a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/newsom-charter-transparency-amid-la-strike/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">January pledge\u003c/a> to bring “long overdue” accountability measures to this growing sector of publicly funded schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200SB126\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">open meeting and disclosure law\u003c/a> Newsom signed Tuesday, which requires charter schools to abide by the same conflict of interest and open meeting rules as traditional district schools — rules that Gov. Jerry Brown quashed several times — may turn out to be the least controversial part of state lawmakers’ push for tighter charter school regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several bills, introduced as teachers strikes have amplified the issue, would impose far more consequential and politically loaded restrictions on the state’s 1,300-plus charter schools, which are publicly-funded, privately-managed schools that operate outside of the control of school districts and have mostly non-union teaching staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among them:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>A cap on charter schools at their current level.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Strict limits on charter school locations and the appeal of charters denied by local school districts.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>New rules that would let districts deny a charter based, at least in part, on the potential financial impact on traditional public schools.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>Assembly Bills \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1505\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1506\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1507\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1507\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1508\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1508 \u003c/a>would curb the growth of California’s charter schools, which educate about 10 percent of the state’s 6.2 million public-school students.

The “most important” bill of the bunch, he said, would place caps on the number of new charter schools that can be created.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom was noncommittal about the upcoming charter proposals at a Tuesday signing ceremony for SB 126. But the governor also said that he was “exhausted” by the intense, polarizing debates surrounding the role of charter schools in California and was “hopeful, but not naive” about the prospects for consensus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I want to make sure that I’m a conduit to a package that can be broadly supported,” he said. “The goal over the next few months is to work to address a number of these vexing issues that frankly need to be addressed. It’s long overdue to have these conversations.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor emphasized that he’s already asked state Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond to commission a report studying the financial impact of charter school growth on districts’ budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe title=\"Map: Map: Where Are Students Attending Charter Schools?\" aria-describedby=\"The majority of California's charter school student population is concentrated in Los Angeles, San Diego and Bay Area counties.

O’Donnell said he would consider the Thurmond-led panel’s recommendations, but did not plan to wait for the report’s completion to advance the bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not going to kick the can down the road, which has been done so many times in Sacramento, and wait and hope that some committee that someone has put together comes up with wise recommendations. I’m going to act,” O’Donnell told CALmatters. “This is the year where I’ve seen the largest push and the most fervor and a sense of urgency (to address this issue).”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblyman Kevin Kiley of Rocklin, the education committee vice chair and sole Republican, said the proposed bills are “all very bad ideas – each and every one.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is just fundamentally an issue of educational equity,” Kiley said. “And I think the debate over these bills is going to be a chance to see who in the Legislature cares about providing every child in California access to a great education and who has other priorities.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new political landscape follows a prolong period during which California’s powerful teachers unions and the charter school movement often \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/education-foes-fight-draw-sacramento/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fought for influence \u003c/a>in Sacramento as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/california-charter-school-data-enrollment-cost-teachers-unions/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">charter enrollment exploded\u003c/a> throughout the state. The charter school movement often found support from moderate Democrats, Republicans and Brown, who started two charter schools when he was mayor of Oakland; teachers unions, meanwhile, have largely counted on the support of progressive Democrats, who have more consistently defended traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2018 elections, however, upended part of that political calculus. Unions and billionaire school reform advocates pumped tens of millions of dollars into the primary and general election campaigns, with Newsom and Thurmond—labor-backed candidates—emerging as the victors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>High-profile teacher strikes, both nationally and in California, have further inflamed the debate over charters, which advocates have typically presented as an antidote to low-performing public schools in low-income areas, and unions have framed as a drain on funding and resources for traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Rogers, professor of education at UCLA, said the 2018 election “sent a signal to Democratic legislators that there is a change afoot in the way the broader public, in particular Democratic voters, are thinking about charters.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two deals that resolved the strikes in Los Angeles and Oakland included commitments from both local school boards to consider enacting a moratorium on the growth of charter schools while their budget impacts could be more carefully scrutinized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Soon after the Los Angeles Unified school board passed its resolution, Newsom asked Thurmond to lead a panel, despite concerns among charter advocates that the strike rhetoric unfairly scapegoated charters. Both districts have seen a huge growth in charter schools in the last 20 years, although their financial turmoil stems from numerous factors, including rising employee pension and health care costs and declining enrollment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myrna Castrejón, president and CEO of the California Charter Schools Association, joined Newsom in his bill-signing ceremony Tuesday. Though the association took a neutral stance on SB 126, Castrejón called the legislation “a balanced and comprehensive resolution” and touted Newsom’s leadership.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castrejón said the proposed charter regulation bills soon to be debated were “terrible policy,” but expressed hope that Newsom could guide those conversations toward consensus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“With the leadership of our new governor and partners willing to come to the table and have serious conversations and solve serious problems, we’re hopeful that that spirit can carry us through to a better conversation about this package of bills that in the end would damage California’s students,” Castrejón said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

During the four hour session, teachers, counselors, nurses, psychologists, librarians, speech pathologists, social workers, teacher substitutes and other support staff of the Oakland public schools voted and discussed the proposed contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Education Association, the union representing some 3,000 teachers, nurses and counselors, said its membership voted on two tentative deals that comprised the new contract.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The first tentative agreement, which deals mostly with the 3 percent retroactive bonus for 2017-18, was approved by a vote of 64 percent yes, 36 percent no, or 1,269 to 701. There were five abstentions,\" the union said in its press release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second tentative agreement included the wage increases and was approved by 58 percent or by 1,141 of the educators who voted, the union said. 42 percent, or 832 educators, voted no.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A simple majority was needed to approve both contracts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Unified School District and the union had reached a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11729926/paycheck-propositions-what-oakland-teachers-want-versus-what-the-district-is-offering\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">tentative agreement\u003c/a> on Friday. Union officials had touted the deal — which includes a total salary increase of 11 percent over four years and a one-time 3 percent bonus — as a success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in the hours leading up to the vote, ratification looked far from certain, and the Oakland teachers' union ended up pushing their vote on the contract from Saturday to Sunday. An official with the Oakland Education Association said they made the change due to a \"logistical and capacity issue.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The union is asking for a 12 percent total raise over three years, starting in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district, which had initially offered a 5 percent increase over three years, announced its latest offer on Wednesday: an 8 percent increase over three years starting January 2019, plus a one-time 2 percent bonus (up from the 7 percent increase and 1.5 percent bonus it had offered the week before).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep in mind that each year’s increase is compounded, which means that the percentage increase is based on whatever the salary was the previous year (not the original salary).

We had 7 percent over three, guaranteed, plus the bonus. Straight numbers guaranteed, it’s more. [But] admittedly over a longer time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johanna Langill, a ninth-grade math teacher at Oakland Technical High School, is still not pleased with the district’s latest offer. She said they tried to make it sound much better than it really is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s sneaky,” she said, while standing on the picket line in front of her school. “We are asking for literally the minimum to stay even with inflation, and they're still not close. So I think it’s pretty insulting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added: “Really what they’re trying to do is lock us into a below-inflation rate of increase for the first year of our next contract.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Langill said she feels a responsibility as a math teacher to clearly break it down, and is excited to teach a lesson on it to her students — whenever the strike ends.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Here’s how it would break down:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>2017-2018: 1.5% bonus (that means a one-time deal, not part of the pay schedule).\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Jan. 2019 - Dec. 2019: 3%\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 2020 - Dec. 2020: 2%\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 2021 - June 2021: 1%\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Starting July 1, 2021: 1%\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>So for Mr. Jones, that would look like this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>2017-2018: $945 + $63,000 = $63,945\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 2019 - Dec. 2019: $63,000 + (3% of $63,000)= $64,890\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 2020 - Dec. 2020: $64,890 + (2% of $64,890) = $66,188\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Jan. 2021 - June 2021: $105.06 + (1% of $105.06) = $66,850\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Starting July 1, 2021: $106.11 + (1% of $106.11) = $67,518\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The latest district offer, announced Wednesday, ups the ante to 8 percent over three years and a 2 percent bonus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The graph below shows both offers (using a hypothetical increase schedule for the latter one, because the specifics of it have not yet been announced).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Artboard-6-100.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11729931\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Artboard-6-100.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"531\" height=\"676\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Artboard-6-100.jpg 845w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Artboard-6-100-160x204.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/Artboard-6-100-800x1018.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 531px) 100vw, 531px\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It depends on how you look at it,” said OUSD spokesman John Sasaki, when asked how the district’s proposal compared with the fact-finder's recommendation. “They had 6 percent for two years. We had 7 percent over three, guaranteed, plus the bonus. Straight numbers guaranteed, it’s more. [But] admittedly over a longer time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johanna Langill, a ninth-grade math teacher at Oakland Technical High School, is still not pleased with the district’s latest offer. She said they tried to make it sound much better than it really is.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s sneaky,” she said, while standing on the picket line in front of her school. “We are asking for literally the minimum to stay even with inflation, and they're still not close. So I think it’s pretty insulting.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She added: “Really what they’re trying to do is lock us into a below-inflation rate of increase for the first year of our next contract.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Langill said she feels a responsibility as a math teacher to clearly break it down, and is excited to teach a lesson on it to her students — whenever the strike ends.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
