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.",

"headTitle": "The California Report | KQED News",
"content": "\u003cp>The vast majority of teachers from Oakland High School — at least 75 of the school's 90 educators — rallied outside City Hall on Monday as part of a one-day strike to protest what they say are low wages and the ineffective tactics of their union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Unified School District teachers have been working without a contract since July. The main dispute is over wages. The district has offered a 5 percent raise over five years, but teachers want 12 percent over three years. They are also asking for smaller class sizes and more support services for students, including nurses, psychologists and counselors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The so-called wildcat strike was not sanctioned by the Oakland Education Association, the teachers union. Teachers say the union’s tactics are top-down and ineffective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now is the time for this movement to happen, and the union is moving too slow,\" said Alex Webster Guiney, a special education teacher at the school, in advance of the strike. \"They need to be supporting the grass-roots movement of their members.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/amyhollyfield/status/1072183268387184641\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the union does not support the strike, Oakland Education Association President Keith Brown said he supports the striking teachers' message, and that he understands the urgency of their demands.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We understand the frustration of our members at the district,\" said Brown. \"They're tired of the disrespect from the district, and they're tired of being the lowest-paid teachers in Alameda County.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to science teacher Suzi LeBaron, at least 75 of Oakland High School's 90 teachers took part in Monday's work stoppage.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'What we are doing today is a form of teaching.

When we don't show up to do the thing that we love to do, it's a very concentrated impactful message.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In advance of the strike, Oakland High School Principal Matin Abdel said school would stay open. “We are prepared to create a safe and productive space for our students,” Abdel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The striking teachers told the district of their plans in advance. The school hired substitutes and consolidated classes throughout the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We did our due diligence,\" LeBaron said. \"We chose a date that we thought would cause the least interference in the students' semester. We gave fair warning to our principal. We've done everything we could do to make sure parents knew they had the choice to come join us, or keep their kids home from school, or send their kids to school to have a marginal school day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LeBaron said she also talked to her students about the strike, and about what Oakland High teachers are fighting for.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think every teacher here today has been very upfront with their students about where the exact issues are.

The main dispute is over wages. The district has offered a 5 percent raise over five years, but teachers want 12 percent over three years. They are also asking for smaller class sizes and more support services for students, including nurses, psychologists and counselors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The so-called wildcat strike was not sanctioned by the Oakland Education Association, the teachers union. Teachers say the union’s tactics are top-down and ineffective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Now is the time for this movement to happen, and the union is moving too slow,\" said Alex Webster Guiney, a special education teacher at the school, in advance of the strike. \"They need to be supporting the grass-roots movement of their members.\"\u003c/p>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Jayare was her student last year, and she knows if he doesn’t use his inhaler multiple times each day, his chest tightens up. He follows her down the hallway. “I feel really cough-y. You get it, coffee?” says Jayare. “But seriously it's really important.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Today he’s been asking to go home, but Sakamoto is hoping the extra asthma treatment will keep him at school. She walks him to a small room near the front office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That's Nurse Williams' room,” Jayare says.

I’m so sorry,” she says. “I just rushed here from another school where I had a new student show up with G-tube feedings.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was due at Bret Harte more than two hours earlier, but she had to train the staff at another school to handle the feeding procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was supposed to see many students today here, and of all those students now I can maybe see one,” she says. “The other students will have to be rescheduled to another day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams loves her job and says it’s painful to see the workload take a toll on her relationship with students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have students telling me all the time, ‘Miss Natasha where are you? I never see you. You never get to sit with me and talk about my medication,’” she says. “I feel like if I was here every day it would make a huge difference.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Troubling Best-Case Scenario\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Still, Bret Harte is in some ways the district’s best-case scenario. Because it serves so many high-needs students it gets more nursing attention than some schools in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 30 schools don’t have a nurse assigned to them at all. It falls to managers in the district's Health Services Department and nurses like Williams, who already have brimming caseloads, to assess students and train staff at those schools between other work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers, attendance clerks and other staff are left to manage much of students’ day-to-day care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation in the district has school nurses turning to their union, the \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandea.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Education Association\u003c/a>, for help. In May the union filed a formal grievance accusing the district of violating the \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandea.org/contract/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terms of their contract\u003c/a>, which sets a nurse’s maximum caseload at 1,350 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even without the extra tasks thrown her way, Natasha Williams oversees nearly 1,400 students at her three schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The effects of the shortage are really, really burned out nurses. Our turnover is incredible,” says nurse Sarah Nielsen Boyd, who oversees over 2,000 students at Oakland Tech, though there are other trained staff on site. “It's a crazy job. It's very stressful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to monitoring medical services for severely disabled students and kids with medical conditions from cancer to cystic fibrosis, Nielsen Boyd has dealt with mental health issues like panic attacks and self-harm. She’s also the school’s go-to in emergencies. And with nurses so scarce she sometimes gets pulled away to help at other schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the district did not respond to the nurses’ initial complaint, the union tried again. In late August the district rejected the grievance, saying it wasn’t filed in a timely manner, and deemed it null and void.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to nurses and union officials, OUSD Director of Community Schools Student Services Andrea Bustamante wrote, “Notwithstanding denial of the grievance due to untimely filing, I find the start of the 2018-2019 school year to be a great opportunity to work collaboratively to improve working conditions for our valued OUSD nurses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union and district have yet to work out a solution. In the meantime, nurses have turned to other tactics. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Nurses Demand Action\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At a \u003ca href=\"http://ousd.granicus.com/player/clip/1321?view_id=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School Board meeting\u003c/a> in late September, they showed up alongside teachers to demand the district address the shortage. They provided board members with statements they said they’d collected from parents and pediatricians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You need to take this seriously,” Oakland Education Association treasurer Deirdre Snyder told the board. “You’re going to be sued by some parent! It’s a travesty. I have seen seizures in my room, all kinds of problems, more and more as the years go on. You cannot pretend this isn’t happening. You need to act now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District-wide, there are over 700 students with severe allergies, more than 350 students whose asthma requires regular medication, about 200 students with seizure disorders, 50 students with diabetes and nearly 30 students with sickle cell disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's a high-needs district. We take great pride in filling the medical needs for our kids,” says OUSD spokesman John Sasaki. He points out the district has a vision clinic and dental services, along with independently run general health clinics families can access at over a dozen schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasaki says in the past five years, several school nurses have retired while others have left for other districts or taken hospital jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11707655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11707655\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bret Harte principal April Harris-Jackson estimates she and her staff spend between 20 and 30 percent of their time on medical issues. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Rancaño/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The number of full-time credentialed school nurse positions in the district has dropped over time, and so have the number of unfilled positions. Last school year, the district had 32 nurse positions, six of them unfilled. In 2015, there were about 35 positions and only three were unfilled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some nurses say the district hasn’t done enough to recruit nurses, district officials peg the unfilled positions on a shortage that stretches beyond Oakland. In fact, across the state, about ten percent of school nurse positions are unfilled, according to Sheri Coburn, president of the California School Nurses Organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coburn blames the shortage in part on the fact that nurses can make more money in traditional hospital settings. School nursing also requires specialized training that takes time and money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're doing everything we can,” Sasaki says. “We're scrambling to find more nurses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says staff is working to expand the nurse recruitment campaign and the district is working with the union to offer additional incentives, like signing bonuses, referral bonuses and stipends for experienced nurses who support and mentor newer nurses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown kids who have access to school nurses \u003ca href=\"http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/137/6/e20160852\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">do better than those who don’t\u003c/a> — they’re absent less, and their teachers can dedicate more time to teaching. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a minimum of one full-time school nurse at every school. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, on average, there’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.kidsdata.org/topic/126/pupilsupportpersonnel-type/Table#fmt=2391&loc=2,127,347,1763,331,348,336,171,321,345,357,332,324,369,358,362,360,337,327,364,356,217,353,328,354,323,352,320,339,334,365,343,330,367,344,355,366,368,265,349,361,4,273,59,370,326,333,322,341,338,350,342,329,325,359,351,363,340,335&tf=95&ch=276,278,280,277,279,807,1136&sortColumnId=0&sortType=asc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one school nurse for every 2,500 students\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\n",

I’m so sorry,” she says. “I just rushed here from another school where I had a new student show up with G-tube feedings.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She was due at Bret Harte more than two hours earlier, but she had to train the staff at another school to handle the feeding procedure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was supposed to see many students today here, and of all those students now I can maybe see one,” she says. “The other students will have to be rescheduled to another day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams loves her job and says it’s painful to see the workload take a toll on her relationship with students. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I have students telling me all the time, ‘Miss Natasha where are you? I never see you. You never get to sit with me and talk about my medication,’” she says. “I feel like if I was here every day it would make a huge difference.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Troubling Best-Case Scenario\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Still, Bret Harte is in some ways the district’s best-case scenario. Because it serves so many high-needs students it gets more nursing attention than some schools in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Around 30 schools don’t have a nurse assigned to them at all. It falls to managers in the district's Health Services Department and nurses like Williams, who already have brimming caseloads, to assess students and train staff at those schools between other work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers, attendance clerks and other staff are left to manage much of students’ day-to-day care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The situation in the district has school nurses turning to their union, the \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandea.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Education Association\u003c/a>, for help. In May the union filed a formal grievance accusing the district of violating the \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandea.org/contract/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">terms of their contract\u003c/a>, which sets a nurse’s maximum caseload at 1,350 students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even without the extra tasks thrown her way, Natasha Williams oversees nearly 1,400 students at her three schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The effects of the shortage are really, really burned out nurses. Our turnover is incredible,” says nurse Sarah Nielsen Boyd, who oversees over 2,000 students at Oakland Tech, though there are other trained staff on site. “It's a crazy job. It's very stressful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In addition to monitoring medical services for severely disabled students and kids with medical conditions from cancer to cystic fibrosis, Nielsen Boyd has dealt with mental health issues like panic attacks and self-harm. She’s also the school’s go-to in emergencies. And with nurses so scarce she sometimes gets pulled away to help at other schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the district did not respond to the nurses’ initial complaint, the union tried again. In late August the district rejected the grievance, saying it wasn’t filed in a timely manner, and deemed it null and void.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter to nurses and union officials, OUSD Director of Community Schools Student Services Andrea Bustamante wrote, “Notwithstanding denial of the grievance due to untimely filing, I find the start of the 2018-2019 school year to be a great opportunity to work collaboratively to improve working conditions for our valued OUSD nurses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union and district have yet to work out a solution. In the meantime, nurses have turned to other tactics. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Nurses Demand Action\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>At a \u003ca href=\"http://ousd.granicus.com/player/clip/1321?view_id=4\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">School Board meeting\u003c/a> in late September, they showed up alongside teachers to demand the district address the shortage. They provided board members with statements they said they’d collected from parents and pediatricians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You need to take this seriously,” Oakland Education Association treasurer Deirdre Snyder told the board. “You’re going to be sued by some parent! It’s a travesty. I have seen seizures in my room, all kinds of problems, more and more as the years go on. You cannot pretend this isn’t happening. You need to act now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District-wide, there are over 700 students with severe allergies, more than 350 students whose asthma requires regular medication, about 200 students with seizure disorders, 50 students with diabetes and nearly 30 students with sickle cell disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It's a high-needs district. We take great pride in filling the medical needs for our kids,” says OUSD spokesman John Sasaki. He points out the district has a vision clinic and dental services, along with independently run general health clinics families can access at over a dozen schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sasaki says in the past five years, several school nurses have retired while others have left for other districts or taken hospital jobs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11707655\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11707655\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2-1200x900.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/11/Bret-Harte2.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bret Harte principal April Harris-Jackson estimates she and her staff spend between 20 and 30 percent of their time on medical issues. \u003ccite>(Vanessa Rancaño/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The number of full-time credentialed school nurse positions in the district has dropped over time, and so have the number of unfilled positions. Last school year, the district had 32 nurse positions, six of them unfilled. In 2015, there were about 35 positions and only three were unfilled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some nurses say the district hasn’t done enough to recruit nurses, district officials peg the unfilled positions on a shortage that stretches beyond Oakland. In fact, across the state, about ten percent of school nurse positions are unfilled, according to Sheri Coburn, president of the California School Nurses Organization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Coburn blames the shortage in part on the fact that nurses can make more money in traditional hospital settings. School nursing also requires specialized training that takes time and money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We're doing everything we can,” Sasaki says. “We're scrambling to find more nurses.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says staff is working to expand the nurse recruitment campaign and the district is working with the union to offer additional incentives, like signing bonuses, referral bonuses and stipends for experienced nurses who support and mentor newer nurses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have shown kids who have access to school nurses \u003ca href=\"http://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/137/6/e20160852\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">do better than those who don’t\u003c/a> — they’re absent less, and their teachers can dedicate more time to teaching. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends a minimum of one full-time school nurse at every school. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But that was only a suggestion, not a hard-and-fast rule: a spokeswoman for the county said there is no established Air Quality Index cutoff level for school dismissals or closures in the county.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara County, school and public health department officials say they worked together closely before eventually deciding to leave most schools in the county open. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“How do we get our most vulnerable populations access to indoor air space?\" said county health officer Sarah Cody at a joint press conference with health and school officials on Friday. \"One of the ways we can do that is by keeping the schools open.
