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.",

Some of those young Californians are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11657217/thousands-of-college-hopefuls-could-leave-california-and-never-come-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaving the state \u003c/a>and may never come back, a trend that could cause a potential \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shortfall\u003c/a> in educated workers that experts warn may have dire economic consequences for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But turning the tide is an expensive undertaking. To raise the four-year graduation rate to just 40 percent by 2025, CSU estimates it will need $450 million from the state. Sacramento funneled \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/about-the-csu/budget/2018-19-operating-budget/Documents/2018-2019-Operating-Budget.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$75 million\u003c/a> into the initiative last year, and CSU plans to ask for another $75 million next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU Chancellor Timothy White said it’s worth it. “These data demonstrate that sustained investment in the CSU is producing good results, and with additional financial support from the state, we can maintain this positive trajectory for students,” he said in a statement. “I am extremely proud of the remarkable efforts and commitment from students, faculty and staff to achieve these gains.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minor credits the infusion of state money for making the gains possible, but said there has also been a sea change in how CSU thinks about student success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A decade ago if a student came to college and left after a year we would have said, ‘Maybe they weren’t ready, they weren’t serious about getting a college degree,’ ” Minor said. “We now ask the question, 'What is it that we might change about the institution that would enable them to be successful?' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To identify those institutional changes, he said, CSU has relied on data and input from students. Among the most common complaints among students is that they can’t get the courses they need when they need them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was Kagianas’ experience. During her first few years at Sacramento State, she said she ran into “bottleneck courses” — prerequisite courses where demand exceeded supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kagianas, who is now president of the California State Student Association, said she's noticed her school has taken a more intentional approach to deciding which classes are offered, especially for popular majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have seen that students feel more confident,” Kagianas said. She's also noticed fewer students \"crashing courses,” referring to when students show up at the beginning of the semester in the hopes that someone else doesn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students now use an online system called \u003ca href=\"https://www.csus.edu/smartplanner/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smart Planner\u003c/a> to map out their path to graduation with an adviser. It helps students plan, but also assists the university in anticipating which courses it needs to provide, and when.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minor says this emphasis on better student advising, and streamlining course offerings is key to Graduation Initiative's success. Across the CSU system, he said, campuses have also hired more faculty to make sure classes are available when students need them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California Faculty Association President Jennifer Eagan sees a problem with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of the new classes that are being offered are being taught by part-time, temporary faculty,” she said, noting a \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstate.edu/hr/faculty-resources/research-analysis/documents/fac_histempl.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steady increase\u003c/a> in the number of temporary lecturers CSU has hired in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Eagan said she's heartened to see graduation rates rising, she's also concerned campuses will feel intense pressure to get students out in four years, even if it's not always in their best interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know at the CSU a tremendous number of our students work, and work much more than part time,” she said. “Four years might not be a realistic target for all of those students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Minor argues that kind of thinking is bad for students. “I resist and reject a philosophy that says our students are too broke, too poor, too hungry, or work too much to graduate in four years,” he said. “If you give students good information and you give them an opportunity they will prove time and time again that they can actually do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Kagianas is glad CSUs are focusing on helping students graduate on time, she said the university can’t help its students succeed without ensuring they can also manage food and housing costs, for which \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11673311/housing-costs-more-than-tuition-are-crushing-californias-low-income-college-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">limited state aid exists\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t separate my financial well-being from by ability to take courses,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporting students who struggle with housing and food insecurity, and providing mental health services, is the most important thing CSU can do to support its students, said Kagianas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU does have a \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/barriers-to-higher-education-attainment-students-unmet-basic-needs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">number of programs\u003c/a> aimed at helping students with these issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That way, students can feel empowered to succeed in their classes without having to worry about all the other aspects of their education that might be barriers to their success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Some of those young Californians are \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11657217/thousands-of-college-hopefuls-could-leave-california-and-never-come-back\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">leaving the state \u003c/a>and may never come back, a trend that could cause a potential \u003ca href=\"http://www.ppic.org/publication/will-california-run-out-of-college-graduates/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">shortfall\u003c/a> in educated workers that experts warn may have dire economic consequences for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But turning the tide is an expensive undertaking. To raise the four-year graduation rate to just 40 percent by 2025, CSU estimates it will need $450 million from the state. Sacramento funneled \u003ca href=\"https://www2.calstate.edu/csu-system/about-the-csu/budget/2018-19-operating-budget/Documents/2018-2019-Operating-Budget.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">$75 million\u003c/a> into the initiative last year, and CSU plans to ask for another $75 million next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU Chancellor Timothy White said it’s worth it. “These data demonstrate that sustained investment in the CSU is producing good results, and with additional financial support from the state, we can maintain this positive trajectory for students,” he said in a statement. “I am extremely proud of the remarkable efforts and commitment from students, faculty and staff to achieve these gains.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minor credits the infusion of state money for making the gains possible, but said there has also been a sea change in how CSU thinks about student success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A decade ago if a student came to college and left after a year we would have said, ‘Maybe they weren’t ready, they weren’t serious about getting a college degree,’ ” Minor said. “We now ask the question, 'What is it that we might change about the institution that would enable them to be successful?' ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To identify those institutional changes, he said, CSU has relied on data and input from students. Among the most common complaints among students is that they can’t get the courses they need when they need them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was Kagianas’ experience. During her first few years at Sacramento State, she said she ran into “bottleneck courses” — prerequisite courses where demand exceeded supply.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kagianas, who is now president of the California State Student Association, said she's noticed her school has taken a more intentional approach to deciding which classes are offered, especially for popular majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have seen that students feel more confident,” Kagianas said. She's also noticed fewer students \"crashing courses,” referring to when students show up at the beginning of the semester in the hopes that someone else doesn’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students now use an online system called \u003ca href=\"https://www.csus.edu/smartplanner/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Smart Planner\u003c/a> to map out their path to graduation with an adviser. It helps students plan, but also assists the university in anticipating which courses it needs to provide, and when.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Minor says this emphasis on better student advising, and streamlining course offerings is key to Graduation Initiative's success. Across the CSU system, he said, campuses have also hired more faculty to make sure classes are available when students need them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California Faculty Association President Jennifer Eagan sees a problem with that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The majority of the new classes that are being offered are being taught by part-time, temporary faculty,” she said, noting a \u003ca href=\"http://www.calstate.edu/hr/faculty-resources/research-analysis/documents/fac_histempl.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">steady increase\u003c/a> in the number of temporary lecturers CSU has hired in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Eagan said she's heartened to see graduation rates rising, she's also concerned campuses will feel intense pressure to get students out in four years, even if it's not always in their best interest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We know at the CSU a tremendous number of our students work, and work much more than part time,” she said. “Four years might not be a realistic target for all of those students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For his part, Minor argues that kind of thinking is bad for students. “I resist and reject a philosophy that says our students are too broke, too poor, too hungry, or work too much to graduate in four years,” he said. “If you give students good information and you give them an opportunity they will prove time and time again that they can actually do it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Kagianas is glad CSUs are focusing on helping students graduate on time, she said the university can’t help its students succeed without ensuring they can also manage food and housing costs, for which \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11673311/housing-costs-more-than-tuition-are-crushing-californias-low-income-college-students\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">limited state aid exists\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t separate my financial well-being from by ability to take courses,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporting students who struggle with housing and food insecurity, and providing mental health services, is the most important thing CSU can do to support its students, said Kagianas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>CSU does have a \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/resources/barriers-to-higher-education-attainment-students-unmet-basic-needs/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">number of programs\u003c/a> aimed at helping students with these issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That way, students can feel empowered to succeed in their classes without having to worry about all the other aspects of their education that might be barriers to their success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

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",

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>",

"content": "\u003cp>San Francisco’s process for assigning kindergartners to public school is notoriously complicated. It’s often called the “lottery,” and some \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11641238/how-the-san-francisco-school-lottery-works-and-how-it-doesnt-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">parents have long complained that it’s a stressful and opaque process\u003c/a>. Now, two San Francisco Unified School District Board of Education members are proposing the district come up with a better plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On Tuesday, Sept. 25, Board Commissioner Matt Haney and Board Vice President Stevon Cook plan to introduce a resolution calling for the end of the current all-choice-based student assignment system.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11641238/how-the-san-francisco-school-lottery-works-and-how-it-doesnt-2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bay Curious: How the San Francisco School Lottery Works, And How It Doesn’t\u003c/a>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>“No more tinkering; no more sticking with the current approach,” Haney said. “We set out a couple of clear goals this system was supposed to accomplish, and it has accomplished none of those. It has not desegregated our schools. It has not provided equity in choice.

If students want to come to school in pajamas, that’s OK, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new policy amounts to a sweeping reversal of the modern school dress code and makes Alameda the latest school district in the country to adopt a more permissive policy it says is less sexist.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students who initiated the change say many of the old rules that barred too much skin disproportionately targeted girls, while language calling such attire “distracting” sent the wrong message.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If someone is wearing a short shirt and you can see her stomach, it’s not her fault that she’s distracting other people,” said Henry Mills, 14, an incoming freshman at Alameda High School who worked with a committee of middle school students and teacher advisers to revise the policy. “There was language that mainly affected girls, and that wasn’t OK.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dress codes have long been the territory of contention and rebellion, but the reversal in Alameda shows a generational shift that students and teachers say was partly influenced by broader conversations on gender stemming from the #MeToo movement against sexual misconduct and a national resurgence of student activism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Approved by the school board on a trial basis over summer break, the new dress code is stirring back-to-school discussions about what role schools should have in socializing children. There are also sharply critical voices of the new dress code.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Listen to KQED’s Forum\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101866857/alameda-schools-try-on-more-permissive-dress-codes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alameda Schools Try On More Permissive Dress Codes\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Math teacher Marie Hsu said she’s all for equity but that the new rules send an unintentional message that it’s fine, even appropriate, to “sex it up.” “It’s good not to punish girls for being distractions. I fully, fully get that,” said Hsu, who teaches at Lincoln Middle School and is an Alameda resident with two young children. “But I think it’s extraordinarily misled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda mother Paula Walker says she may be “old school,” but she didn’t mind the bans against revealing clothing. “They say kids are starting everything younger, and I’m like, well, that’s because you’re throwing it in their faces,” Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dress codes and their severity vary widely nationwide. Twenty-four states have policies that give local school districts the power to adopt their own dress codes or uniform policies, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ecs.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Education Commission of the States\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that tracks education policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some have statewide policies, like Arkansas, which passed a 2011 law requiring school districts “to prohibit the wearing of clothing that exposes underwear, buttocks, or the breast of a female.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Texas high school was recently criticized for \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/catmoring/status/1030188393588813825\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a back-to-school video on dress codes that only featured girls\u003c/a>. The video shown at Marcus High School in a Dallas suburb showed girls in shorts getting reprimanded as the song “Bad Girls” by M.I.A. played in the background. Students slammed it as sexist on social media, prompting the principal to apologize, saying the video “absolutely missed the mark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda’s new dress code was modeled after \u003ca href=\"https://noworegon.org/issues/model-student-dress-code/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a suggested policy by the Oregon chapter of the National Organization for Women\u003c/a>, drafted in 2016 to “update and improve” dress codes, avoid rules that reinforce gender stereotypes and minimize unnecessary discipline or “body shaming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland, Oregon’s public school district adopted a new policy in 2016, followed by Evanston, Illinois, in 2017, both of which incorporated NOW’s suggestions.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Listen to KQED’s The Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688147/cover-the-important-bits-alameda-schools-change-their-dress-code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">‘Cover the Important Bits’: Alameda Schools Change Their Dress Code\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Portland’s relaxed dress code is considered a success, said Carol Campbell, principal at Grant High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campbell said students wear appropriate clothing most of the time and it was “a huge relief” that staff could now focus on teaching, rather than necklines and hemlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s changed the culture of how students view each other,” she said. “When we have rules and dress codes that particularly target one group it sounds like we’re blaming that group, which always tended to be women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students in Alameda, Portland and Evanston have freedom to wear mostly anything as long as it includes a bottom, top, shoes, covers private parts and does not contain violent images, hate speech, profanity or pornography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vague language in the old Alameda policy caused confusion, which led to arbitrary enforcement, students and teachers said. There was, for example, a “three-finger” rule on the width of tank top straps and a ban on shorts and skirts shorter than “mid-thigh” and a rule against “low-cut tank tops.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Girls with more developed bodies often were singled out for discipline ranging from lunch detention, picking up trash on campus, a phone call home or having to change into baggy clothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stella Bourgoin said she makes her sixth-grade daughter dress modestly but she supports the policy mainly for convenience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you go to a store, every pair of jeans has a rip in it. It’s easier this way,” Bourgoin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Associated Press writer Gillian Flaccus in Portland, Oregon contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

I fully, fully get that,” said Hsu, who teaches at Lincoln Middle School and is an Alameda resident with two young children. “But I think it’s extraordinarily misled.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda mother Paula Walker says she may be “old school,” but she didn’t mind the bans against revealing clothing. “They say kids are starting everything younger, and I’m like, well, that’s because you’re throwing it in their faces,” Walker said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dress codes and their severity vary widely nationwide. Twenty-four states have policies that give local school districts the power to adopt their own dress codes or uniform policies, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.ecs.org/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">the Education Commission of the States\u003c/a>, a nonprofit that tracks education policy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some have statewide policies, like Arkansas, which passed a 2011 law requiring school districts “to prohibit the wearing of clothing that exposes underwear, buttocks, or the breast of a female.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A Texas high school was recently criticized for \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/catmoring/status/1030188393588813825\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a back-to-school video on dress codes that only featured girls\u003c/a>. The video shown at Marcus High School in a Dallas suburb showed girls in shorts getting reprimanded as the song “Bad Girls” by M.I.A. played in the background. Students slammed it as sexist on social media, prompting the principal to apologize, saying the video “absolutely missed the mark.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alameda’s new dress code was modeled after \u003ca href=\"https://noworegon.org/issues/model-student-dress-code/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">a suggested policy by the Oregon chapter of the National Organization for Women\u003c/a>, drafted in 2016 to “update and improve” dress codes, avoid rules that reinforce gender stereotypes and minimize unnecessary discipline or “body shaming.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Portland, Oregon’s public school district adopted a new policy in 2016, followed by Evanston, Illinois, in 2017, both of which incorporated NOW’s suggestions.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"alignright\">\n\u003ch3>Listen to KQED’s The Bay\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\n\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11688147/cover-the-important-bits-alameda-schools-change-their-dress-code\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">‘Cover the Important Bits’: Alameda Schools Change Their Dress Code\u003c/a>\n\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Portland’s relaxed dress code is considered a success, said Carol Campbell, principal at Grant High School.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campbell said students wear appropriate clothing most of the time and it was “a huge relief” that staff could now focus on teaching, rather than necklines and hemlines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s changed the culture of how students view each other,” she said. “When we have rules and dress codes that particularly target one group it sounds like we’re blaming that group, which always tended to be women.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students in Alameda, Portland and Evanston have freedom to wear mostly anything as long as it includes a bottom, top, shoes, covers private parts and does not contain violent images, hate speech, profanity or pornography.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vague language in the old Alameda policy caused confusion, which led to arbitrary enforcement, students and teachers said. There was, for example, a “three-finger” rule on the width of tank top straps and a ban on shorts and skirts shorter than “mid-thigh” and a rule against “low-cut tank tops.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Girls with more developed bodies often were singled out for discipline ranging from lunch detention, picking up trash on campus, a phone call home or having to change into baggy clothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stella Bourgoin said she makes her sixth-grade daughter dress modestly but she supports the policy mainly for convenience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you go to a store, every pair of jeans has a rip in it.

"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. The regulation originated decades ago, when it impacted mostly single men—but as more families came to use that housing, the rule disrupted their children’s education every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the new school year gets underway, many migrant families will be able to take advantage of a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB850\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">newly enacted exemption\u003c/a>, championed by Democratic Assemblywoman Anna Caballero of Salinas. It allows migrant farmworkers with children to stay put for the duration of the school year. Up to half of subsidized migrant housing may now be allocated to farmworkers with families. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While some advocates applaud the new exemption, others worry the change could exacerbate an existing housing crisis for farmworkers without children. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11691376\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 919px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/MIGRANT-STUDENTS-photo-2.jpg\" alt=\"Children lined up for a backpack giveaway in Watsonville.\" width=\"919\" height=\"1079\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11691376\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/MIGRANT-STUDENTS-photo-2.jpg 919w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/MIGRANT-STUDENTS-photo-2-160x188.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/MIGRANT-STUDENTS-photo-2-800x939.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/MIGRANT-STUDENTS-photo-2-240x282.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/MIGRANT-STUDENTS-photo-2-375x440.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2018/09/MIGRANT-STUDENTS-photo-2-520x611.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 919px) 100vw, 919px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Children lined up for a backpack giveaway in Watsonville. \u003ccite>(Byrhonda Lyons/CALmatters)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“We should be providing more decent affordable housing for all farm workers,” said Ilene Jacobs, director of litigation, advocacy and training for California Rural Legal Assistance, a nonprofit that provides legal support to farmworkers and other low-income people in rural communities. “We shouldn’t be pitting one group of farmworkers against another group of farmworkers and allowing them to win out in eligibility.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The federal \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/oese/ome/index.html\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Office of Migrant Education\u003c/a> works to improve the circumstances of migrant students, but even identifying them can be difficult. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ramos said that as children begin to stay with relatives or live with other farm-working families, new challenges arise. These students no longer qualify as migrants but they may live in cramped quarters. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Housing is one of the biggest issues we have in our area,” he said. “It’s huge.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said that teachers often need to make home visits and prideful families are reluctant to let teachers see where they’re living. “They don’t want us to see where they’re living just because they’re sharing an apartment with three other families where one family is renting one room, and there’s an entire other family renting another room,” Ramos said. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://youtu.be/RLkePt1_Vns\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jacobs, who’s helped farmworkers with housing for over 20 years, said she’s seen people living in their trucks and under trees. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, for those who rely on the migrant housing centers, moving every year adds another barrier to student success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Four out of every five students California classifies as “migrant” graduate high school, according to the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr18/yr18rel50.asp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">State Superintendent of Education’s office\u003c/a>. But that includes students who were formerly migrants, even though their circumstances have changed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Caballero pushed for the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr18/yr18rel50.asp\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">budget trailer bill\u003c/a> creating the exemption because she contends the regulation fueled lower graduation rates for migrant students. She said she discovered the problem in her previous job as the governor’s secretary of business consumer services and housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the bar is so high because you’ve had to move from school to school, it becomes very discouraging,” she said. “It’s my hope that what we’ll see is migrant students doing better in school, and a stability in their educational experience.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

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. The regulation originated decades ago, when it impacted mostly single men—but as more families came to use that housing, the rule disrupted their children’s education every year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until now.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the new school year gets underway, many migrant families will be able to take advantage of a \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180SB850\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">newly enacted exemption\u003c/a>, championed by Democratic Assemblywoman Anna Caballero of Salinas.

And you can correlate that to the affordability crisis,” said Elder, founder and director of \u003ca href=\"http://www.eastoaklandcollective.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The East Oakland Collective\u003c/a> nonprofit, as she visited a 65-year old woman sitting on a corner, surrounded by piles of belongings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It could take years to build more affordable housing, but Elder sees a faster way to relieve homelessness in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a lot of vacant properties that haven’t been used for years,” said Elder, as she pointed to a fenced, empty parcel next to the encampment she visited on a recent morning. “As a city and as a community, we need to take a look at these vacant public and private lands and see how we can use them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Voters To Decide on Taxing Owners of Vacant Properties\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland voters could approve the state’s first tax on privately-owned vacant properties in November.

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.

Kaplan authored a proposed tax on vacant properties to help ease homelessness in the city. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Acosta, who also owns a lot labeled as vacant by the county assessor’s office, doubted the tax would encourage him to build the duplex he previously planned for his land. 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. But Acosta contemplated that if he is faced with a new $6,000 tax assessment each year, he would likely sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be too much money to pay,” he said. “The tax will pressure people into selling or building, but most likely selling for those who don’t have time, money and energy to deal with the tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building new housing in Oakland is an expensive proposition. While construction costs can vary significantly based on the size and amenities of a project, the city estimates 1,000 square feet of new construction costs about $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permitting fees for a three-bedroom home can total more than $25,000, according to Oakland’s planning and building department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Kaplan said she understands small property owners face barriers to build housing the city desperately needs. Her tax measure would give them financial assistance to design and construct affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofits and low-income owners would be exempt from the tax, as well as others who can prove financial hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaplan suspects the majority of vacant properties are being held by owners as a speculative investment in Oakland’s hot real estate market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who may not have the connection and the motivation to do something with them, and especially a lot of big corporate speculators,” Kaplan said. “And so the vacant property tax will help us keep track of who owns them, what they’re doing with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Measure Lacks Clarity, Critics Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 4,400 bare lots could be subject to the tax plus an unknown number of vacant residential, commercial and industrial buildings, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4797561-View-Supplemental-Report-5-11-218.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report\u003c/a> by Katano Kasaine, Oakland’s finance director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics decried that lack of clarity, arguing it’s unfair to ask voters to decide on the tax in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be great to have a list first before you went about taxing people on it,” said Kiran Shenoy, government affairs director for the \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandberkeleyaor.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Berkeley Association of Realtors\u003c/a>. “We don’t know whether or not this is going to end up disenfranchising a lot of small Oakland property owners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He stressed that although the measure has several exemptions, it will be up to the landowners to prove they qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/H.Raetz_Vacant_Parcels_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley found most vacant parcels in the city are small, fit for a single family house or duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Author Hayley Raetz dug through county data that suggests 57 percent of vacant land owners in the city only hold one parcel. But she cautions that percentage is likely overblown in part because owners can create individual LLCs or limited liability companies for each property they buy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where it gets tricky unfortunately. Sometimes you see lots that have owners with different first names and the same last name. But it’s hard to tell if that’s a family or if it’s just a common last name,” Raetz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Implementing Tax Measure Will Be Key\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Land use experts and others following the debate said that while they support the concept of the tax, much of the proposal’s effectiveness depends on how the city would put it into action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have some concerns about how it will be implemented, starting with the definition of what constitutes vacancy,” said Sarah Karlinsky, senior policy adviser at SPUR, a think tank focused on urban planning in the San Francisco Bay Area. The organization sent \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/publications/policy-letter/2018-05-07/spur-comments-vacant-parcel-tax-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a letter\u003c/a> to city leaders recommending they clarify that definition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A parcel that hosts a farmers market once a week would be considered active, said Councilwoman Kaplan. But Karlinsky said enforcement even in that scenario could prove difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Monitoring that from the public sector side is really tough,” she said. “Like, are they going to send people out every week to make sure Joe had his farmers market?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents for the tax point to other cities that have tried taxing empty homes and blighted properties, such as \u003ca href=\"https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/empty-homes-tax.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vancouver, British Columbia\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://otr.cfo.dc.gov/page/otr-vacant-real-property\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington, D.C.\u003c/a> as examples of efforts to make land more productive while funding city services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this vacant property tax is brilliant,” said Paula Hawthorn, adding that she is tired of walking by abandoned-looking storefronts near her Oakland home. “It’s a good way to stop people from holding on to their property for speculation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11689759\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Photo-5-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Vann, a retired architect who pushed for the proposed tax on vacant properties, near downtown Oakland on Aug. 23, 2018. “We’ve got to tackle homelessness now with whatever means we can,” he said. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For James Vann, a retired architect who pushed for the tax, the exemptions in Oakland’s measure, and the city’s promise to work out the details, are enough to move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax would be in place no sooner than 2020, giving the city time to ramp up the effort and create a registry of properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vann believes the measure, which would expire in 20 years, represents an opportunity to fund homeless services the city is struggling to afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just no money there in the budget,” said Vann, a member of the Homeless Advocacy Working Group. “The homelessness problem is one that we are facing now, that is critical.

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.

Kaplan authored a proposed tax on vacant properties to help ease homelessness in the city. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>But Acosta, who also owns a lot labeled as vacant by the county assessor’s office, doubted the tax would encourage him to build the duplex he previously planned for his land. 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. But Acosta contemplated that if he is faced with a new $6,000 tax assessment each year, he would likely sell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be too much money to pay,” he said. “The tax will pressure people into selling or building, but most likely selling for those who don’t have time, money and energy to deal with the tax.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Building new housing in Oakland is an expensive proposition. While construction costs can vary significantly based on the size and amenities of a project, the city estimates 1,000 square feet of new construction costs about $200,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permitting fees for a three-bedroom home can total more than $25,000, according to Oakland’s planning and building department.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Kaplan said she understands small property owners face barriers to build housing the city desperately needs. Her tax measure would give them financial assistance to design and construct affordable units.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nonprofits and low-income owners would be exempt from the tax, as well as others who can prove financial hardship.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaplan suspects the majority of vacant properties are being held by owners as a speculative investment in Oakland’s hot real estate market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People who may not have the connection and the motivation to do something with them, and especially a lot of big corporate speculators,” Kaplan said. “And so the vacant property tax will help us keep track of who owns them, what they’re doing with them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Measure Lacks Clarity, Critics Say\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 4,400 bare lots could be subject to the tax plus an unknown number of vacant residential, commercial and industrial buildings, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4797561-View-Supplemental-Report-5-11-218.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a report\u003c/a> by Katano Kasaine, Oakland’s finance director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics decried that lack of clarity, arguing it’s unfair to ask voters to decide on the tax in November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’d be great to have a list first before you went about taxing people on it,” said Kiran Shenoy, government affairs director for the \u003ca href=\"http://oaklandberkeleyaor.com/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Oakland Berkeley Association of Realtors\u003c/a>. “We don’t know whether or not this is going to end up disenfranchising a lot of small Oakland property owners.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He stressed that although the measure has several exemptions, it will be up to the landowners to prove they qualify.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A recent \u003ca href=\"http://ternercenter.berkeley.edu/uploads/H.Raetz_Vacant_Parcels_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">study\u003c/a> by the Terner Center for Housing Innovation at UC Berkeley found most vacant parcels in the city are small, fit for a single family house or duplex.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Author Hayley Raetz dug through county data that suggests 57 percent of vacant land owners in the city only hold one parcel. But she cautions that percentage is likely overblown in part because owners can create individual LLCs or limited liability companies for each property they buy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s where it gets tricky unfortunately. Sometimes you see lots that have owners with different first names and the same last name. But it’s hard to tell if that’s a family or if it’s just a common last name,” Raetz said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Implementing Tax Measure Will Be Key\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Land use experts and others following the debate said that while they support the concept of the tax, much of the proposal’s effectiveness depends on how the city would put it into action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do have some concerns about how it will be implemented, starting with the definition of what constitutes vacancy,” said Sarah Karlinsky, senior policy adviser at SPUR, a think tank focused on urban planning in the San Francisco Bay Area. The organization sent \u003ca href=\"https://www.spur.org/publications/policy-letter/2018-05-07/spur-comments-vacant-parcel-tax-oakland\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a letter\u003c/a> to city leaders recommending they clarify that definition.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A parcel that hosts a farmers market once a week would be considered active, said Councilwoman Kaplan. But Karlinsky said enforcement even in that scenario could prove difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Monitoring that from the public sector side is really tough,” she said. “Like, are they going to send people out every week to make sure Joe had his farmers market?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Proponents for the tax point to other cities that have tried taxing empty homes and blighted properties, such as \u003ca href=\"https://vancouver.ca/home-property-development/empty-homes-tax.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Vancouver, British Columbia\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://otr.cfo.dc.gov/page/otr-vacant-real-property\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Washington, D.C.\u003c/a> as examples of efforts to make land more productive while funding city services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think this vacant property tax is brilliant,” said Paula Hawthorn, adding that she is tired of walking by abandoned-looking storefronts near her Oakland home. “It’s a good way to stop people from holding on to their property for speculation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11689759\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11689759\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/08/Photo-5-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">James Vann, a retired architect who pushed for the proposed tax on vacant properties, near downtown Oakland on Aug. 23, 2018. “We’ve got to tackle homelessness now with whatever means we can,” he said. \u003ccite>(Farida Jhabvala Romero/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For James Vann, a retired architect who pushed for the tax, the exemptions in Oakland’s measure, and the city’s promise to work out the details, are enough to move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The tax would be in place no sooner than 2020, giving the city time to ramp up the effort and create a registry of properties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Vann believes the measure, which would expire in 20 years, represents an opportunity to fund homeless services the city is struggling to afford.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s just no money there in the budget,” said Vann, a member of the Homeless Advocacy Working Group. “The homelessness problem is one that we are facing now, that is critical.
