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.",

Violating that federal law can put school districts at risk of losing federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>End of story, right? Well, no, because a different \u003ca href=\"https://ifap.ed.gov/regcomps/attachments/86.pdf\">federal law\u003c/a> guarantees students with special needs the right to a “\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/G21GCZ6W5Nu55VoOhPWJom?domain=www2.ed.gov\">free and appropriate public education\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In January, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11644339/one-santa-rosa-familys-fight-to-allow-medical-cannabis-in-california-schools\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">when I first reported on the Adams family\u003c/a>, the district was paying for Brooke to go to private preschool, and for a one-on-one nurse, who was always at Brooke’s side with those little vials of THC oil, her rescue medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jana wanted her daughter in public school come kindergarten. So she started lobbying her legislators last year “to get to Sacramento and get something passed before the fall, because I don’t know where her placement will be in the fall if she can’t go to public school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, shortly before the beginning of the school year, I went back to check on the family. Things haven’t gone quite as Jana had hoped, but there’s been movement on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laws in seven other states now allow kids some access to their cannabis meds at school. California is trying something similar with \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/MGM_C1w95PSMMDEvFyQE7H?domain=leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\">Jojo’s Act\u003c/a>. Jojo Jiminez lives in San Bruno, and the 19-year-old suffers from a different debilitating form of \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/ofeDC2k96QfppJEnu03wqg?domain=sfchronicle.com\">childhood epilepsy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His state senator, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/ofeDC2k96QfppJEnu03wqg?domain=sfchronicle.com\">Jerry Hill\u003c/a>, learned about him last year — and how, in order to get the regular cannabis tinctures that keep the teenager’s seizures in check, “he would have to be removed from school in a wheelchair and by law taken 1,000 feet away from the school where the drug could be administered. And then his mother would have to wheel him back,” Hill said. “It didn’t seem right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he authored a bill that would permit California school districts — but not require them — to let parents or legal guardians administer cannabis meds inside school to kids who have a doctor’s recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jana Adams says that, for her daughter, there’s a hitch. When Brooke needs her THC oil as a rescue medicine, she needs it immediately. Someone who’s already at school would have to give it to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, I don’t know when I’m gonna have to dose her,” Jana said as she and Brooke flip through picture books. “That’s the whole issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11693939\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11693939\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/BrookeAtPreschoolFall2017-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Brooke Adams, now 5, spent two years at this private Santa Rosa preschool — with her cannabis rescue medication.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brooke Adams, now 5, spent two years at this private Santa Rosa preschool — with her cannabis rescue medication. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some kids need their cannabis meds on an unpredictable schedule, and parents can’t always be on campus to administer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out that’s a problem everywhere. \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/T2FLC4x9gPsBBQ7LhXtj8W?domain=ilga.gov\">Illinois\u003c/a> had to add a last-minute amendment that also allows a “designated caregiver” to dispense cannabis at school. \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/dL4UC5yWjXSZZQWqFjwf2j?domain=state.nj.us\">New Jersey\u003c/a> did something similar. And early this summer, Colorado tacked\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/9iW9C680k4srrAGQFlwl-E?domain=leg.colorado.gov\"> “Quintin’s Amendment”\u003c/a> onto its law. That allows school personnel to dispense the cannabis meds, or designate someone who can, like a contracted nurse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sen. Hill doesn’t think that will fly in California now. Marijuana is still against federal law, and the Association of California School Administrators lobbied against his bill out of concern that they’d lose federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just like the other states, Hill said, California needs a starting point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to avoid having Brooke home-schooled, Jana and her family decided to take the school district to court. The special education hearing was held in late July before Administrative Law Judge Charles Marson. As Jana sees it, the question was: “Are you going to let a sick child take her medication so that she can go to school, or are you going to just keep people at home?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These types of hearings are usually private, but Brooke’s family petitioned to open theirs to the public in hopes of helping other families. Brooke’s preschool teacher testified about all the progress she made interacting with other kids during her two years there. And \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/u6khC829m0u66Zwnhgy7Q6?domain=ucsfbenioffchildrens.org\">Dr. Joseph Sullivan\u003c/a>, one of Brooke’s doctors and director of UCSF’s Pediatric Epilepsy Center, submitted a declaration on her behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for school district officials? They said they’re caught between two federal laws – the one that bans cannabis on school grounds and the one that requires accommodations for special education students. Rincon Valley Union Assistant Superintendent Cathy Myhers told me they want guidance — and some cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a district we just want a level of protection,” Myhers said. “If the judge tells us we can have a student on campus with their medical marijuana, we feel like, ‘OK, we can do it.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marson on Friday ruled that not only can the district do it — it must.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4928752-BrookeAdamsDecision.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">22-page ruling\u003c/a>, Marson said that by seeking to educate Brooke at home, the Rincon Valley Union School District had denied her a “free and appropriate public education” in the “least restrictive setting” — which federal special education law requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marson concluded that Brooke was in compliance with state medical marijuana law. Because her mom and her nurse were “authorized by law to possess and use the THC oil as they did, their conduct was exempt from another California statute specifically regulating the presence of cannabis on a public school campus,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for federal law? Marson called the chance that federal officials would come after the school district “remote” and said the district had already violated federal law for two years without consequences by transporting Brooke to and from her private preschool with her cannabis meds, and “should have reasonably concluded that it could continue to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district can appeal the ruling, which applies only to Brooke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jojo’s Act is now on the governor’s desk. The governor has until the end of this month to sign or veto it. If he signs, it will help kids who take cannabis meds on a regular schedule — and who have parents or guardians who can come to school to administer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jana Adams called Judge Marson’s ruling a “huge relief” for her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says if Jojo’s Act becomes law, she will still push for an amendment that would help other kids like Brooke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.kalw.org/post/santa-rosa-family-fights-daughter-s-right-go-kindergarten-her-cannabis-meds#stream/0\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">version of this story\u003c/a> originally aired on KALW’s Crosscurrents\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

So she started lobbying her legislators last year “to get to Sacramento and get something passed before the fall, because I don’t know where her placement will be in the fall if she can’t go to public school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last month, shortly before the beginning of the school year, I went back to check on the family. Things haven’t gone quite as Jana had hoped, but there’s been movement on the issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laws in seven other states now allow kids some access to their cannabis meds at school. California is trying something similar with \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/MGM_C1w95PSMMDEvFyQE7H?domain=leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\">Jojo’s Act\u003c/a>. Jojo Jiminez lives in San Bruno, and the 19-year-old suffers from a different debilitating form of \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/ofeDC2k96QfppJEnu03wqg?domain=sfchronicle.com\">childhood epilepsy\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His state senator, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/ofeDC2k96QfppJEnu03wqg?domain=sfchronicle.com\">Jerry Hill\u003c/a>, learned about him last year — and how, in order to get the regular cannabis tinctures that keep the teenager’s seizures in check, “he would have to be removed from school in a wheelchair and by law taken 1,000 feet away from the school where the drug could be administered. And then his mother would have to wheel him back,” Hill said. “It didn’t seem right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So he authored a bill that would permit California school districts — but not require them — to let parents or legal guardians administer cannabis meds inside school to kids who have a doctor’s recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jana Adams says that, for her daughter, there’s a hitch. When Brooke needs her THC oil as a rescue medicine, she needs it immediately. Someone who’s already at school would have to give it to her.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I mean, I don’t know when I’m gonna have to dose her,” Jana said as she and Brooke flip through picture books. “That’s the whole issue.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11693939\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11693939\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/BrookeAtPreschoolFall2017-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Brooke Adams, now 5, spent two years at this private Santa Rosa preschool — with her cannabis rescue medication.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brooke Adams, now 5, spent two years at this private Santa Rosa preschool — with her cannabis rescue medication. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Some kids need their cannabis meds on an unpredictable schedule, and parents can’t always be on campus to administer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It turns out that’s a problem everywhere. \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/T2FLC4x9gPsBBQ7LhXtj8W?domain=ilga.gov\">Illinois\u003c/a> had to add a last-minute amendment that also allows a “designated caregiver” to dispense cannabis at school. \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/dL4UC5yWjXSZZQWqFjwf2j?domain=state.nj.us\">New Jersey\u003c/a> did something similar. And early this summer, Colorado tacked\u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/9iW9C680k4srrAGQFlwl-E?domain=leg.colorado.gov\"> “Quintin’s Amendment”\u003c/a> onto its law. That allows school personnel to dispense the cannabis meds, or designate someone who can, like a contracted nurse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sen. Hill doesn’t think that will fly in California now. Marijuana is still against federal law, and the Association of California School Administrators lobbied against his bill out of concern that they’d lose federal funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Just like the other states, Hill said, California needs a starting point.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, to avoid having Brooke home-schooled, Jana and her family decided to take the school district to court. The special education hearing was held in late July before Administrative Law Judge Charles Marson. As Jana sees it, the question was: “Are you going to let a sick child take her medication so that she can go to school, or are you going to just keep people at home?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These types of hearings are usually private, but Brooke’s family petitioned to open theirs to the public in hopes of helping other families. Brooke’s preschool teacher testified about all the progress she made interacting with other kids during her two years there. And \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/u6khC829m0u66Zwnhgy7Q6?domain=ucsfbenioffchildrens.org\">Dr. Joseph Sullivan\u003c/a>, one of Brooke’s doctors and director of UCSF’s Pediatric Epilepsy Center, submitted a declaration on her behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for school district officials? They said they’re caught between two federal laws – the one that bans cannabis on school grounds and the one that requires accommodations for special education students. Rincon Valley Union Assistant Superintendent Cathy Myhers told me they want guidance — and some cover.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a district we just want a level of protection,” Myhers said. “If the judge tells us we can have a student on campus with their medical marijuana, we feel like, ‘OK, we can do it.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marson on Friday ruled that not only can the district do it — it must.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4928752-BrookeAdamsDecision.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">22-page ruling\u003c/a>, Marson said that by seeking to educate Brooke at home, the Rincon Valley Union School District had denied her a “free and appropriate public education” in the “least restrictive setting” — which federal special education law requires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marson concluded that Brooke was in compliance with state medical marijuana law. Because her mom and her nurse were “authorized by law to possess and use the THC oil as they did, their conduct was exempt from another California statute specifically regulating the presence of cannabis on a public school campus,” he wrote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for federal law? Marson called the chance that federal officials would come after the school district “remote” and said the district had already violated federal law for two years without consequences by transporting Brooke to and from her private preschool with her cannabis meds, and “should have reasonably concluded that it could continue to do so.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district can appeal the ruling, which applies only to Brooke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jojo’s Act is now on the governor’s desk. The governor has until the end of this month to sign or veto it. If he signs, it will help kids who take cannabis meds on a regular schedule — and who have parents or guardians who can come to school to administer them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jana Adams called Judge Marson’s ruling a “huge relief” for her family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says if Jojo’s Act becomes law, she will still push for an amendment that would help other kids like Brooke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>Oscar Ramos teaches students of migrant farmworkers in his classroom at Sherwood Elementary School in Salinas, California. He sees students disappear because they must follow the crops with their parents, moving from town to town, making a steady education difficult. One year, a 4th grade teacher started the year with 28 students and ended with just three. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the harvest season is over here in the valley, the Central Coast, a lot of our parents would move to Arizona,” he said. “Everyone, the parents, the children, they would all go. So we would lose a lot of students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One reason that’s been happening in some California communities: the “\u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-no-funding/docs/OMS_REGULATIONS_2018.pdf#2\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">50-mile regulation\u003c/a>” defining who qualifies to live in one of 24 state-subsidized \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-no-funding/docs/feb_2015_oms_map.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">migrant housing centers\u003c/a>. To maintain their housing eligibility, workers have had to move at least 50 miles away for several months out of the year, returning for the next harvest. Some moved across California, or to other states such as Arizona, or even back to Mexico—their children in tow.

He sees students disappear because they must follow the crops with their parents, moving from town to town, making a steady education difficult. One year, a 4th grade teacher started the year with 28 students and ended with just three. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the harvest season is over here in the valley, the Central Coast, a lot of our parents would move to Arizona,” he said. “Everyone, the parents, the children, they would all go.

To maintain their housing eligibility, workers have had to move at least 50 miles away for several months out of the year, returning for the next harvest. Some moved across California, or to other states such as Arizona, or even back to Mexico—their children in tow.

Homeless advocate Candice Elder, 34, said vacant properties dot the area. “A lot of properties were vacant when I was growing up, and they are still vacant now,” said Elder, a native of the city. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Owners of properties in use fewer than 50 days per year would be taxed as much as $6,000 per parcel annually, if two-thirds of voters approve \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4801970-Vacant-Property-Tax-Measure-2018-07-24.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the measure\u003c/a> in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two weeks after the Oakland City Council voted 6-2 to place the tax on the ballot, officials in the neighboring city of Richmond greenlighted a similar proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Owners of vacant properties would pay the same amount of additional tax, regardless of the size or worth of their property. Under California law, cities cannot legally tie a parcel tax to market values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics worry the tax could disproportionately hurt small landowners, pushing some to sell their property to investors that can pay Oakland’s skyrocketing market values. But proponents praise the tax as a creative incentive to transform thousands of vacant lots and buildings into homes or businesses, and at the same time decrease blight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are looking not only to get rid of the trash, the weeds, the types of problems you might see, but also to encourage people to do something that would be of benefit to the community,” said Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan, who authored the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just two years, the city’s homeless population increased by 25 percent to nearly 2,800 people, according to the most \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/City-of-Oakland-ES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent survey\u003c/a> of Alameda County.

He was dismayed after learning city permits would cost about $35,000 and take a year to process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It doesn’t make sense to just try to penalize people with taxes for not having something built on their lot when they are making it difficult for everybody to build something,” said Acosta, who is growing potatoes, bell peppers and other vegetables on the plot instead.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He might not be subject to the tax if the city defines gardening as an active use of property.

Under California law, cities cannot legally tie a parcel tax to market values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics worry the tax could disproportionately hurt small landowners, pushing some to sell their property to investors that can pay Oakland’s skyrocketing market values. But proponents praise the tax as a creative incentive to transform thousands of vacant lots and buildings into homes or businesses, and at the same time decrease blight.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are looking not only to get rid of the trash, the weeds, the types of problems you might see, but also to encourage people to do something that would be of benefit to the community,” said Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan, who authored the measure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In just two years, the city’s homeless population increased by 25 percent to nearly 2,800 people, according to the most \u003ca href=\"http://everyonehome.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/City-of-Oakland-ES.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">recent survey\u003c/a> of Alameda County.

"content": "\u003cp>The Oakland Raiders \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2018/08/28/raiders-school-district-donation-boosts-oakland-youth-sports/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">announced a $250,000 donation Tuesday\u003c/a> to help save Oakland high school sports programs after the district announced it would cut nearly half of them. But some parents are looking for a more permanent solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say no amount of fundraising will fix the fact that the cuts disproportionately impacted girls, and that all of this has unearthed a deeper problem. So, they’re turning to the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don't want to have to do it,” said Oakland parent Shumsha Hanif-Cruz, lamenting Oakland Unified School District's financial straits and emphasizing that she hopes to avoid a costly class action lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanif-Cruz's 6th grade daughter was looking forward to playing golf at Skyline High School, just like her big sister had. So Hanif-Cruz paid attention when the district announced last week it was one of 10 sports on the chopping block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's a lawyer who quickly realized the cuts, which impacted nearly twice as many girls as boys, would likely violate\u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/tix_dis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Title IX, the federal anti-discrimination law.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said it isn’t just about the recent cuts -- it’s about what she believes they expose. “This has been an ongoing issue that just has not been addressed,” Hanif-Cruz said. “It's only being addressed because there was this budget deficit, and now we're all as a community able to see what probably has been going on for decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanif-Cruz and other parents have turned to attorney Elizabeth Kristen, who is a Title IX expert at \u003ca href=\"https://legalaidatwork.org/staff/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legal Aid at Work in San Francisco\u003c/a>, where she runs the Fair Play for Girls in Sports program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This to me is a clean and clear and blatant violation of Title IX,” Kristen says of OUSD's cuts to high school sports, “and they already had a problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristen points to sports participation data collected by Oakland schools which she said shows boys have more athletic opportunities than girls. \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandtech.com/staff/ot-athletics/athletics-overview/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">At Oakland Tech\u003c/a>, for example, 52 percent of athletes are boys, while 48 percent are girls, despite girls making up more than half of the student population. \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandtech.com/staff/blog/2018/08/oakland-athletic-league-cuts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">District-wide\u003c/a>, 54 percent of athletes were male last year, while 45 percent were female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I realize they have this budget deficit,” Kristen said, “but balancing the budget on the backs of girls sends a terrible message. It tells girls they are second-class citizens,” And, she added, “It's against the law. This is a classic story of sex discrimination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After looking at figures for last year’s participation, national Title IX expert \u003ca href=\"http://championwomen.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nancy Hogshead-Makar\u003c/a> agrees. “Before the cuts, girls already had fewer opportunities than boys did,” she said. “It’s 2018 and to not consider the fairness of cutting more girls' programs than boys' programs when girls already weren’t getting as much as boys were is tragic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hogshead-Makar also raises questions about the coach-to-athlete ratio for girls at district schools. \"It appears boys get far more coaches-per-athlete than girl do,\" she wrote in an email. \"There are also lots of men coaching girls, and very few women coaching boys.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanif-Cruz and other parents expressed frustration and sadness at the position she and other Oakland parents find themselves in. While keenly aware that legal action against the\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/oakland-unified-may-eliminate-nearly-340-positions-in-one-year-to-stay-fiscally-solvent/601091\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> already cash-strapped district\u003c/a> could lead to a costly lawsuit, they’re inclined to believe that getting a lawyer involved may be the only way to ensure the district rights its course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have any desire to sue Oakland Unified,” said parent Christian Schreiber, an attorney who's handled civil rights cases. “But I also don’t think that they’re above being sued. I hope it doesn’t come to that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Hanif-Cruz and other parents move ahead, Kristen said the first step would be to send a demand letter to the district with the intention of spurring negotiations about how to right the alleged Title IX violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristen has \u003ca href=\"https://legalaidatwork.org/releases/female-athletes-and-school-district-settle-title-ix-case-after-ninth-circuit-ruling/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">successfully sued districts\u003c/a> for Title IX violations in the past. She said she starts with a demand letter hoping to garner a district's cooperation, rather than end up in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really makes sense to try to resolve these things quickly,\" she said. \"High school is a fleeting time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ideally, Kristen said, a demand letter leads to an enforceable settlement agreement. \"We could go to court if they don't follow what they say they’re going to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advantage of a formal legal process, Kristen said, is that it gives parents a seat at the table, allowing them to help shape the scope of any remedy, \"as opposed to letting it just play out the way it may or may not play out behind the scenes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My hope is that the district recognizes that its actions create the real threat of Title IX litigation,” Schreiber said, “and they take appropriate and immediate action to reconsider the decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, the district announced three fall sports, girls tennis, girls golf and girls lacrosse are coming back, thanks to donations of close to $40,000.

But some parents are looking for a more permanent solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They say no amount of fundraising will fix the fact that the cuts disproportionately impacted girls, and that all of this has unearthed a deeper problem. So, they’re turning to the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don't want to have to do it,” said Oakland parent Shumsha Hanif-Cruz, lamenting Oakland Unified School District's financial straits and emphasizing that she hopes to avoid a costly class action lawsuit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanif-Cruz's 6th grade daughter was looking forward to playing golf at Skyline High School, just like her big sister had. So Hanif-Cruz paid attention when the district announced last week it was one of 10 sports on the chopping block.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She's a lawyer who quickly realized the cuts, which impacted nearly twice as many girls as boys, would likely violate\u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/tix_dis.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Title IX, the federal anti-discrimination law.\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She said it isn’t just about the recent cuts -- it’s about what she believes they expose. “This has been an ongoing issue that just has not been addressed,” Hanif-Cruz said. “It's only being addressed because there was this budget deficit, and now we're all as a community able to see what probably has been going on for decades.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanif-Cruz and other parents have turned to attorney Elizabeth Kristen, who is a Title IX expert at \u003ca href=\"https://legalaidatwork.org/staff/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Legal Aid at Work in San Francisco\u003c/a>, where she runs the Fair Play for Girls in Sports program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This to me is a clean and clear and blatant violation of Title IX,” Kristen says of OUSD's cuts to high school sports, “and they already had a problem.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristen points to sports participation data collected by Oakland schools which she said shows boys have more athletic opportunities than girls. \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandtech.com/staff/ot-athletics/athletics-overview/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">At Oakland Tech\u003c/a>, for example, 52 percent of athletes are boys, while 48 percent are girls, despite girls making up more than half of the student population. \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandtech.com/staff/blog/2018/08/oakland-athletic-league-cuts/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">District-wide\u003c/a>, 54 percent of athletes were male last year, while 45 percent were female.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I realize they have this budget deficit,” Kristen said, “but balancing the budget on the backs of girls sends a terrible message. It tells girls they are second-class citizens,” And, she added, “It's against the law. This is a classic story of sex discrimination.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After looking at figures for last year’s participation, national Title IX expert \u003ca href=\"http://championwomen.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Nancy Hogshead-Makar\u003c/a> agrees. “Before the cuts, girls already had fewer opportunities than boys did,” she said. “It’s 2018 and to not consider the fairness of cutting more girls' programs than boys' programs when girls already weren’t getting as much as boys were is tragic.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hogshead-Makar also raises questions about the coach-to-athlete ratio for girls at district schools. \"It appears boys get far more coaches-per-athlete than girl do,\" she wrote in an email. \"There are also lots of men coaching girls, and very few women coaching boys.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hanif-Cruz and other parents expressed frustration and sadness at the position she and other Oakland parents find themselves in. While keenly aware that legal action against the\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/oakland-unified-may-eliminate-nearly-340-positions-in-one-year-to-stay-fiscally-solvent/601091\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> already cash-strapped district\u003c/a> could lead to a costly lawsuit, they’re inclined to believe that getting a lawyer involved may be the only way to ensure the district rights its course.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t have any desire to sue Oakland Unified,” said parent Christian Schreiber, an attorney who's handled civil rights cases. “But I also don’t think that they’re above being sued. I hope it doesn’t come to that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If Hanif-Cruz and other parents move ahead, Kristen said the first step would be to send a demand letter to the district with the intention of spurring negotiations about how to right the alleged Title IX violations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristen has \u003ca href=\"https://legalaidatwork.org/releases/female-athletes-and-school-district-settle-title-ix-case-after-ninth-circuit-ruling/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">successfully sued districts\u003c/a> for Title IX violations in the past. She said she starts with a demand letter hoping to garner a district's cooperation, rather than end up in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It really makes sense to try to resolve these things quickly,\" she said. \"High school is a fleeting time.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ideally, Kristen said, a demand letter leads to an enforceable settlement agreement. \"We could go to court if they don't follow what they say they’re going to do,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The advantage of a formal legal process, Kristen said, is that it gives parents a seat at the table, allowing them to help shape the scope of any remedy, \"as opposed to letting it just play out the way it may or may not play out behind the scenes.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My hope is that the district recognizes that its actions create the real threat of Title IX litigation,” Schreiber said, “and they take appropriate and immediate action to reconsider the decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week, the district announced three fall sports, girls tennis, girls golf and girls lacrosse are coming back, thanks to donations of close to $40,000. That allows about 150 girls to keep playing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>OUSD spokesman John Sasaki said that helps balance the impact. “We’re certainly more fair than we were a couple days ago,” he said Monday at a press conference. The $250,000 donation from the Raiders will go a long way toward bringing back other sports.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Kristen says reinstating programs temporarily through outside money does not solve the equity issue. \"The problem is the way that it has been packaged as a temporary solution and that girls' sports seem more contingent and less supported by the schools,\" she said. “They’ve sent a message to girls that they aren’t as important.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kristen and Hogshead-Makar point out that Title IX violations are common in high school athletics. \"It's actually rare for us to find a school where they do have parity for girls in sports even though this law has been around for such a long time,\" Kristen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But as a longtime Oakland resident, Kristen said Oakland Unified's data is particularly frustrating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have a community that should be committed to equality for girls, so the fact that this has been going on under our noses for all this time is really disappointing.\" She added that in her experience, once she starts looking into a district, she \"usually finds these kinds of athletic participation gaps for girls are really the tip of the iceberg.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district declined to comment on the prospect of legal action.
