"content": "\u003cp>Faculty, staff, students and even the Chinese consulate are increasingly demanding accountability from the University of Southern California in how it handled the case of Dr. George Tyndall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyndall is the former university gynecologist accused of sexually inappropriate behavior with students during their medical exams. The Los Angeles Police Department is now investigating 52 complaints about Tyndall, which range from unnecessary touching in the course of pelvic exams to inappropriate sexual comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, about two dozen University of Southern California students and alumni marched from the school’s student health center to the university’s main quad chanting “USC transparency.” They called for help for Tyndall’s alleged victims and a full accounting of USC’s possible role in covering up his actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are at a breaking point,” alumna Viva Symanski, who alleges Tyndall sexually abused her, said at a podium. “Things have to change. USC must change.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last summer, in a confidential deal, Tyndall was allowed to resign from the university with a financial payout.

The Los Angeles Police Department is now investigating 52 complaints about Tyndall, which range from unnecessary touching in the course of pelvic exams to inappropriate sexual comments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Saturday, about two dozen University of Southern California students and alumni marched from the school’s student health center to the university’s main quad chanting “USC transparency.” They called for help for Tyndall’s alleged victims and a full accounting of USC’s possible role in covering up his actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are at a breaking point,” alumna Viva Symanski, who alleges Tyndall sexually abused her, said at a podium. “Things have to change.

"content": "\u003cp>California’s public universities will get an infusion of cash to increase enrollment, smooth students’ progress toward graduation and repair aging buildings under a state budget agreement reached Friday by Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The agreement, which still must be approved by the full Legislature and signed by the governor to take effect, boosts annual funding for California State University by $197 million and the University of California by $97 million. It comes in the wake of months of fervent lobbying by students, faculty and administrators after Brown proposed a less generous higher education budget in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokesperson Dianne Klein said the agreement, while still tentative, “will allow UC to put off a tuition increase for California students and provide much needed funds for deferred maintenance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two university systems will also each receive more than $160 million in one-time money under the agreement, some of which is targeted for specific programs including fighting student hunger and providing legal services for undocumented students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This investment will enable the CSU to enroll more students from a wide variety of backgrounds, and prepare them to improve their communities and lead the industries that are driving California,” California State University Chancellor Tim White said in a statement. “This is vital to our state’s future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>White had already taken a tuition increase for CSU off the table in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The budget projects that CSU will enroll more than 3,600 additional students in the coming year, while UC adds 2,000. It sets aside $75 million to fund an ongoing effort by CSU to boost the percentage of students who graduate in four years to 40 percent by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it gives each university system $35 million for repairs to campuses, where overcrowded classrooms, outdated equipment and leaky buildings sometimes \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/crowded-crumbling-campuses-will-one-time-cash-infusion-be-enough-to-fix-the-university-of-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interfere with learning\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise represents a sea change from a few months ago when Brown was insisting he would not agree to more than a 3 percent funding increase for UC and CSU, and both universities were considering tuition hikes to close the gap. Though California posted higher revenues than expected this year, Brown has kept a tight hold on state purse strings, wary of what he views as an inevitable recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From a $27 billion deficit in 2011, the state now enjoys a healthy surplus and a solid Rainy Day Fund,” the governor tweeted Friday in announcing the $200 billion budget deal, which would keep the state running through the 2018-19 fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Lubin, a UC Berkeley graduate student who heads up the student advocacy group RISE, credited a united front among students and university administrators with helping to sway lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s an accomplishment we’re very proud of,” he said. “I hope we can show students not just here but across the county that when we organize and make our voices heard, we can reverse this vicious cycle of tuition hikes and start restoring California and the nation’s investment in students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s community colleges will also see two major changes under the agreement: the establishment of a new, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/community-college-online-gov-browns-plan-re-imagines-cyber-learning-faces-skeptics/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fully online college\u003c/a> and a shift to funding campuses based not just on how many students they enroll. Both are high priorities for the governor and community colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley that sparked fierce opposition among some faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argued that the online college, which is aimed at giving adult workers short-term credentials that will help them advance in their careers, duplicated work already being done on brick-and-mortar campuses and might not give students the support they needed to succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal lawmakers negotiated will give $35 million to improve online courses at existing colleges, on top of the $120 million set aside for the new college. The online school will be required to develop programs that help students continue their education on a physical campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley called the plan “a good compromise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that the community colleges need to serve more and different kinds of Californians, and that the economy and workforce continue to change,” he said. “We think this will be a great thing for California workers, and we can’t wait to get started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jonathan Lightman, executive director of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, said it was “extremely disappointing” that the agreement didn’t include stricter oversight to ensure the online college didn’t compete with existing campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty association “continues to believe that the online, hybrid and traditional college courses that are offered by our institutions, whether they be credit or non-credit, have greater merit than a separate fully online college that is not anchored in the community,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley also acknowledged that debate over the controversial new funding formula would continue past the June 15 deadline for the Legislature to pass a budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, community colleges received funding based solely on how many students they enrolled. The new formula replaces that with a combination of total enrollment, the number of low-income students on campus and how well colleges perform on a range of measures including awarding degrees and preparing students for transfer to four-year universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

It comes in the wake of months of fervent lobbying by students, faculty and administrators after Brown proposed a less generous higher education budget in January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC spokesperson Dianne Klein said the agreement, while still tentative, “will allow UC to put off a tuition increase for California students and provide much needed funds for deferred maintenance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two university systems will also each receive more than $160 million in one-time money under the agreement, some of which is targeted for specific programs including fighting student hunger and providing legal services for undocumented students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This investment will enable the CSU to enroll more students from a wide variety of backgrounds, and prepare them to improve their communities and lead the industries that are driving California,” California State University Chancellor Tim White said in a statement. “This is vital to our state’s future.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It sets aside $75 million to fund an ongoing effort by CSU to boost the percentage of students who graduate in four years to 40 percent by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And it gives each university system $35 million for repairs to campuses, where overcrowded classrooms, outdated equipment and leaky buildings sometimes \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/crowded-crumbling-campuses-will-one-time-cash-infusion-be-enough-to-fix-the-university-of-california/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interfere with learning\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compromise represents a sea change from a few months ago when Brown was insisting he would not agree to more than a 3 percent funding increase for UC and CSU, and both universities were considering tuition hikes to close the gap. Though California posted higher revenues than expected this year, Brown has kept a tight hold on state purse strings, wary of what he views as an inevitable recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From a $27 billion deficit in 2011, the state now enjoys a healthy surplus and a solid Rainy Day Fund,” the governor tweeted Friday in announcing the $200 billion budget deal, which would keep the state running through the 2018-19 fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Max Lubin, a UC Berkeley graduate student who heads up the student advocacy group RISE, credited a united front among students and university administrators with helping to sway lawmakers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not a perfect solution, but it’s an accomplishment we’re very proud of,” he said. “I hope we can show students not just here but across the county that when we organize and make our voices heard, we can reverse this vicious cycle of tuition hikes and start restoring California and the nation’s investment in students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s community colleges will also see two major changes under the agreement: the establishment of a new, \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/community-college-online-gov-browns-plan-re-imagines-cyber-learning-faces-skeptics/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">fully online college\u003c/a> and a shift to funding campuses based not just on how many students they enroll. Both are high priorities for the governor and community colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley that sparked fierce opposition among some faculty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics argued that the online college, which is aimed at giving adult workers short-term credentials that will help them advance in their careers, duplicated work already being done on brick-and-mortar campuses and might not give students the support they needed to succeed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal lawmakers negotiated will give $35 million to improve online courses at existing colleges, on top of the $120 million set aside for the new college. The online school will be required to develop programs that help students continue their education on a physical campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley called the plan “a good compromise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a recognition that the community colleges need to serve more and different kinds of Californians, and that the economy and workforce continue to change,” he said. “We think this will be a great thing for California workers, and we can’t wait to get started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Jonathan Lightman, executive director of the Faculty Association of California Community Colleges, said it was “extremely disappointing” that the agreement didn’t include stricter oversight to ensure the online college didn’t compete with existing campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The faculty association “continues to believe that the online, hybrid and traditional college courses that are offered by our institutions, whether they be credit or non-credit, have greater merit than a separate fully online college that is not anchored in the community,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakley also acknowledged that debate over the controversial new funding formula would continue past the June 15 deadline for the Legislature to pass a budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the past, community colleges received funding based solely on how many students they enrolled. The new formula replaces that with a combination of total enrollment, the number of low-income students on campus and how well colleges perform on a range of measures including awarding degrees and preparing students for transfer to four-year universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">CALmatters.org\u003c/a> is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.

Jerry Brown initially proposed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The deal comes after a month of negotiations and one week before the constitutional deadline for lawmakers to approve a spending plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown, who inherited a $27 billion shortfall when he came into office in 2011, has worked to put the state back on solid fiscal footing, including by building its budget reserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But in recent years, as the economy has recovered and the state coffers have swelled with cash, Democratic lawmakers have pushed Brown to reinvest in programs that were slashed during the recession.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In May, Brown's office announced a projected $8.8 billion surplus for the fiscal year that begins July 1. He proposed using about half that money for one-time expenditures, including improving levees and other flood control infrastructure; and giving state universities, facilities and courts about $2 billion to tackle years of deferred maintenance to their facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Independent expenditure committees spent over $3 million on his behalf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The position is nonpartisan, but both leading candidates are Democrats. Thurmond represents parts of the East Bay in the State Assembly. He used to be a Richmond city council member, school board member and social worker. He grew up poor and credits public education for saving his life.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Two Very Different Backgrounds, A Lot in Common\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Marshall Tuck has a background in management. He helped found the charter network \u003ca href=\"http://greendot.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Dot Public Schools\u003c/a> in Los Angeles and ran it. He later helped create and run \u003ca href=\"https://partnershipla.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that works to improve underserved LA Unified schools. He started out in the world of finance after college, then says he found his passion in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two differ markedly in their backgrounds, the distinctions in their visions are more subtle. Tuck emphasizes innovation, collaboration and the reform of some teacher protections, like tenure laws. Thurmond highlights his personal connection to public schools, presenting himself as a champion for vulnerable students, and the defender of the state against the assaults of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The differences show up in their views on charter schools. Both Tuck and Thurmond say they want to make for-profit charters illegal and both call for greater accountability and transparency of public charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/tonys-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thurmond stresses\u003c/a> a “crisis of accountability” and calls himself the only candidate who is “fully committed to reforming charter schools,” \u003ca href=\"https://marshalltuck.com/issues/introduction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuck describes\u003c/a> charters as important partners in public education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is our neediest that have been hurt the most by underperforming schools,” Tuck’s plan reads, “and we should support quality public charter schools that can give our highest-need families an additional public school opportunity.” He emphasizes focusing on how charters can collaborate with and support traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Tuck and Thurmond oppose private school vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rIPPbJWwOPw&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to work rules, Tuck has a lot to say, while Thurmond’s plan doesn’t touch on the issue. Tuck calls for reform of the state’s teacher dismissal process, arguing it’s too difficult to get rid of teachers who perform poorly or engage in misconduct. He also wants to see changes to the tenure process in California, which currently allows teachers to be tenured after two years. The law has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/22/490991086/california-teacher-tenure-laws-upheld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court and upheld\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to give our teachers and schools more time before making such consequential decisions,” Tuck’s plan reads. “Neither the teacher nor the student is served by having to make such a high-stakes decision after such a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has said he supports extending the probationary period to four years; Thurmond has said he would support upping it to three, though he has \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sided with the teachers union\u003c/a> in laying out what that might look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, seniority largely determines layoffs for teachers. Tuck wants districts to have more flexibility, and be able to consider other factors when layoffs are necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck also emphasizes paring down regulations he sees as stifling creativity. He calls the California Education Code “overly prescriptive” and says he wants to build on the Local Control Funding Formula to gain greater flexibility from the ed code. In the short term, he aims to help districts get waivers from the code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond says any incoming superintendent should review the rules, and he calls for flexibility in curriculum, but likens Tuck’s critique of the educational code to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ attitude toward regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The result has been the rollback of protections and rights for disabled students, sexual assault survivors, transgender students and student loan borrowers,” Thurmond says. “Because it’s a cheap way to score political points with voters on the right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford-based education policy expert \u003ca href=\"https://cepa.stanford.edu/david-plank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Plank\u003c/a> says the most significant difference between the two doesn’t show up in their plans for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They themselves are not very far apart,” Plank says. “They have very different friends. The friends of one are the enemies of the other and vice versa, so the political contest gives the impression that the stakes are larger than they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/endorsements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support\u003c/a> of the state’s major unions, the California Democratic Party, which has put over $500,000 behind him, and Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Barbara Lee. The California Teachers Association has pumped over $2 million into his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has the Association of School Administrators and California Charter School Association behind him. His biggest fundraiser, The \u003ca href=\"http://cal-access.sos.ca.gov/Campaign/Committees/Detail.aspx?id=1243091&view=general\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ed Voice for the Kids PAC\u003c/a>, got major contributions from billionaire charter advocates Arthur Rock, \u003ca href=\"https://broadfoundation.org/education/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Eli Broad\u003c/a> and the \u003ca href=\"https://www.waltonfamilyfoundation.org/about-us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Walton family\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Teachers Association president Eric Heins is quick to take issue with these supporters, arguing they represent the interests of the few.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s clear that we have a very unaccountable industry that is almost completely unregulated,” Heins says of charter schools, “and that’s draining money from our public school system that actually needs it the most.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cta.org/About-CTA/Leadership/Officers/President-Eric-Heins.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Heins\u003c/a> also says Thurmond’s track record lines up with voter’s values.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He’s continued to work throughout his career as a social worker working with at risk students,” Heins says. “He has passed legislation to \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB1014\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide millions to keep kids in school\u003c/a> and for giving \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201520160AB2506\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">foster kids the opportunity to go to college\u003c/a>. These are all things that California voters want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tuck supporter Ben Austin, a former member of the State Board of Education and former consultant for Tuck’s Green Dot Public Schools, Heins and his union colleagues are a big problem. He argues these backers hem Thurmond in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t have the political latitude to stand up for kids because he’s funded by very powerful adult special interests whose interests sometimes clash with the interests of kids,” Austin says.”You can guess who wins when when that happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent forum hosted by EdSource, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/california-superintendent-candidates-oppose-big-money-from-independent-committees/598132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both candidates decried\u003c/a> the influence of outside money in politics and vowed, if elected, to operate beyond the influence of their bankrollers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XDzXl7d-otg&w=560&h=315]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the clash between their supporters, Tuck and Thurmond have a lot in common. Both say they want to increase teacher pay and provide more mentoring and coaching opportunities for new teachers. Tuck advocates free college and credentialing for anyone who commits to teaching for five years and higher pay for school employees who work in high-needs communities, while Thurmond says he’d like to make college cheaper for future teachers, streamline the credentialing process and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide affordable housing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prioritize boosting per-pupil funding for the state’s public schools. Thurmond touts a plan to bring California into the top 10 states in per-pupil funding by 2022, and to number one in the nation by 2026. Like Tuck, he aims to steer money away from prisons into schools, and make it easier to pass local school taxes and fight cuts to federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both men say they’ll work towards universal pre-K in the state, and want to see schools act as community hubs, providing healthcare services to those who need them. Both are calling for greater funding for special education and expanded bilingual education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both herald the Local Control Funding Formula as an important step toward equity in the state, but say they want to see greater transparency, in the form of public data, and more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has called for a thorough review of the LCFF to “ensure that funding is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Meanwhile Tuck is advocating what he calls a “school equity audit” — a sprawling review not only of how districts allocate funding, but of teacher experience and turnover, access to college prep classes, learning time, and arts and music curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates for the post are on the ballot, but neither has mounted a significant campaign. They are Lily Ploski and Steven Ireland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If no candidate gets a majority of the votes in next month’s primary, there will be a runoff in November.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He helped found the charter network \u003ca href=\"http://greendot.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Green Dot Public Schools\u003c/a> in Los Angeles and ran it. He later helped create and run \u003ca href=\"https://partnershipla.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Partnership for Los Angeles Schools\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that works to improve underserved LA Unified schools. He started out in the world of finance after college, then says he found his passion in education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the two differ markedly in their backgrounds, the distinctions in their visions are more subtle. Tuck emphasizes innovation, collaboration and the reform of some teacher protections, like tenure laws. Thurmond highlights his personal connection to public schools, presenting himself as a champion for vulnerable students, and the defender of the state against the assaults of the federal government.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The differences show up in their views on charter schools. Both Tuck and Thurmond say they want to make for-profit charters illegal and both call for greater accountability and transparency of public charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/tonys-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Thurmond stresses\u003c/a> a “crisis of accountability” and calls himself the only candidate who is “fully committed to reforming charter schools,” \u003ca href=\"https://marshalltuck.com/issues/introduction/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tuck describes\u003c/a> charters as important partners in public education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It is our neediest that have been hurt the most by underperforming schools,” Tuck’s plan reads, “and we should support quality public charter schools that can give our highest-need families an additional public school opportunity.” He emphasizes focusing on how charters can collaborate with and support traditional public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Tuck and Thurmond oppose private school vouchers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/rIPPbJWwOPw'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/rIPPbJWwOPw'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When it comes to work rules, Tuck has a lot to say, while Thurmond’s plan doesn’t touch on the issue. Tuck calls for reform of the state’s teacher dismissal process, arguing it’s too difficult to get rid of teachers who perform poorly or engage in misconduct. He also wants to see changes to the tenure process in California, which currently allows teachers to be tenured after two years. The law has been \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2016/08/22/490991086/california-teacher-tenure-laws-upheld\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">challenged in court and upheld\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We need to give our teachers and schools more time before making such consequential decisions,” Tuck’s plan reads. “Neither the teacher nor the student is served by having to make such a high-stakes decision after such a short period of time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has said he supports extending the probationary period to four years; Thurmond has said he would support upping it to three, though he has \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/author-shelves-teacher-tenure-bill-union-backed-alternative-emerges/584760\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">sided with the teachers union\u003c/a> in laying out what that might look like.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under current law, seniority largely determines layoffs for teachers. Tuck wants districts to have more flexibility, and be able to consider other factors when layoffs are necessary.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck also emphasizes paring down regulations he sees as stifling creativity. He calls the California Education Code “overly prescriptive” and says he wants to build on the Local Control Funding Formula to gain greater flexibility from the ed code. In the short term, he aims to help districts get waivers from the code.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond says any incoming superintendent should review the rules, and he calls for flexibility in curriculum, but likens Tuck’s critique of the educational code to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos’ attitude toward regulations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The result has been the rollback of protections and rights for disabled students, sexual assault survivors, transgender students and student loan borrowers,” Thurmond says. “Because it’s a cheap way to score political points with voters on the right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stanford-based education policy expert \u003ca href=\"https://cepa.stanford.edu/david-plank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">David Plank\u003c/a> says the most significant difference between the two doesn’t show up in their plans for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They themselves are not very far apart,” Plank says. “They have very different friends. The friends of one are the enemies of the other and vice versa, so the political contest gives the impression that the stakes are larger than they are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has the \u003ca href=\"https://www.tonythurmond.com/endorsements\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">support\u003c/a> of the state’s major unions, the California Democratic Party, which has put over $500,000 behind him, and Senator Kamala Harris and Congresswoman Barbara Lee. The California Teachers Association has pumped over $2 million into his campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tuck has the Association of School Administrators and California Charter School Association behind him.

These are all things that California voters want.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Tuck supporter Ben Austin, a former member of the State Board of Education and former consultant for Tuck’s Green Dot Public Schools, Heins and his union colleagues are a big problem. He argues these backers hem Thurmond in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He doesn’t have the political latitude to stand up for kids because he’s funded by very powerful adult special interests whose interests sometimes clash with the interests of kids,” Austin says.”You can guess who wins when when that happens.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a recent forum hosted by EdSource, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/california-superintendent-candidates-oppose-big-money-from-independent-committees/598132\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">both candidates decried\u003c/a> the influence of outside money in politics and vowed, if elected, to operate beyond the influence of their bankrollers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutube'>\n \u003cspan class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__embedYoutubeInside'>\n \u003ciframe\n loading='lazy'\n class='utils-parseShortcode-shortcodes-__youtubeShortcode__youtubePlayer'\n type='text/html'\n src='//www.youtube.com/embed/XDzXl7d-otg'\n title='//www.youtube.com/embed/XDzXl7d-otg'\n allowfullscreen='true'\n style='border:0;'>\u003c/iframe>\n \u003c/span>\n \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite the clash between their supporters, Tuck and Thurmond have a lot in common. Both say they want to increase teacher pay and provide more mentoring and coaching opportunities for new teachers. Tuck advocates free college and credentialing for anyone who commits to teaching for five years and higher pay for school employees who work in high-needs communities, while Thurmond says he’d like to make college cheaper for future teachers, streamline the credentialing process and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB45\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">provide affordable housing\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both prioritize boosting per-pupil funding for the state’s public schools. Thurmond touts a plan to bring California into the top 10 states in per-pupil funding by 2022, and to number one in the nation by 2026. Like Tuck, he aims to steer money away from prisons into schools, and make it easier to pass local school taxes and fight cuts to federal funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both men say they’ll work towards universal pre-K in the state, and want to see schools act as community hubs, providing healthcare services to those who need them. Both are calling for greater funding for special education and expanded bilingual education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both herald the Local Control Funding Formula as an important step toward equity in the state, but say they want to see greater transparency, in the form of public data, and more accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thurmond has called for a thorough review of the LCFF to “ensure that funding is spent as efficiently and effectively as possible.” Meanwhile Tuck is advocating what he calls a “school equity audit” — a sprawling review not only of how districts allocate funding, but of teacher experience and turnover, access to college prep classes, learning time, and arts and music curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two other candidates for the post are on the ballot, but neither has mounted a significant campaign. They are Lily Ploski and Steven Ireland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
