At 30, with two children, a high school diploma and a job at a call center, Middleton is the kind of student Gov. Jerry Brown has in mind as he pushes for a new online community college.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The thing is, Middleton has tried online education before—and the results were less than stellar. Two years ago, she signed up for virtual business classes through De Anza College, a state community college in Cupertino. But when a question came up about her enrollment, Middleton said, she couldn’t find a real person to talk to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Trying to get in touch with them was such a headache,” she recalled. “It’s like, ‘hey, call this number,’ and then no one answers.” Discouraged, and busy with a newborn son, Middleton just dropped out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her story illustrates the challenges Brown faces as he tries to convince the Legislature and a skeptical community college faculty that online education is the key to reaching the 2.5 million Californians aged 25 to 34 who graduated from high school but lack a college degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'We want to break down the content already available in the colleges and put it in a format where we can reach working adults.'\u003ccite>Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>With tens of thousands of Californians turning to private and out-of-state schools for distance learning, Brown and Community Colleges Chancellor Eloy Ortiz Oakley say they want to provide an affordable, high-quality option for busy adults to gain skills that will help them in the labor market.

Students could learn at their own pace, would be eligible for state financial aid and might even be able to pay a flat fee to access unlimited courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we’re talking about doing is adopting a completely different educational delivery model that allows for short-term learning that does not follow the traditional academic calendar and does not focus on associate degree and transfer-level courses,” said Oakley. “We want to break down the content already available in the colleges and put it in a format where we can reach working adults.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some faculty groups have raised concerns that the plan takes a group of students least prepared to succeed online and shunts them off into a virtual ghetto, while their transfer-bound peers enjoy the benefits of face-to-face interaction with instructors.

It’s a high-CDB tincture supplemented with THC to reduce seizures and THC oil as a “rescue medication” to stop them once they start. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now, Brooke takes that daily CBD tincture and a rescue drug made of cannabis oil that’s high in THC.

Her doses come in little vials. Wherever she goes, they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooke takes fewer prescription meds now, and her mom says she has fewer seizures. But the main change is that those long ones, known as status seizures, are really infrequent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means no more ambulance trips with a breathing tube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her last status seizure was last August,” Adams says, “and before, she was every five weeks to the day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Drug-Free Schools\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But placing Brooke in preschool was tough. There’s a federal law — called the \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/oGrKCXDM32F5zvKT2pswi?domain=idea.ed.gov\">Individuals with Disabilities Education Act\u003c/a> — which mandates that kids receive a “free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means districts need to make accommodations for kids like Brooke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, before the summer of 2016, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/tHDeCYEM4Nt14RlFlWv-l?domain=rvusd.org\">the Rincon Valley Union School District\u003c/a> told Adams: Those vials of THC oil that are always with Brooke? They’re not allowed at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They said, ‘here’s all the things that you could have,’” Adams recounts, “’but well, she can’t be on campus so you’ll have to just have her at home.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But homeschooling is not what Adams thought was most appropriate for her daughter. And she knew the law. If the district couldn’t accommodate Brooke, they’d have to find another school that would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told the district: “She needs to go to a private school if you can’t have her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district got on board.

And the school district quickly got on board with the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cathy Myhers, Assistant Superintendent for Student Services for the Rincon Valley Union School District, can’t discuss the cases of individual students. But she says that, generally, federal law requires her district to offer “free and appropriate” public education to kids who are “identified as children that have special needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet cannabis prohibition prevents that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[W]e feel as though our hands are tied,” Myhers says. “If we can’t provide her that rescue medication, we can’t serve her on a public school campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myhers and other school district officials met with a local state senator to see if California could do what a handful of other states have already done. \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/r07hCZ6W5Nu4pZghkhLsm?domain=legislature.maine.gov\">Maine\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/qVTrC1w95PSz9yGFMa6aR?domain=legiscan.com\">New Jersey \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/XR3_C2k96Qfl9q3FqCwGu?domain=codes.findlaw.com\">Colorado \u003c/a>have all changed state law to require school districts to accommodate students who have medical-marijuana recommendations.

It explicitly states: No cannabis at schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those state laws could be modified. But there’s another problem: Federal law bars illegal drugs, marijuana among them, within 1,000 feet of any school or school district building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myhers says if the district violates that federal law, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/YhoJC680k4sOB2msVAUQ5?domain=ifap.ed.gov\">they risk losing millions of dollars in federal funding\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it turns out, all those other states that have passed school cannabis laws are taking a gamble that the feds won’t come after them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in Illinois recently encouraged state officials to consider crafting a similar law after the state attorney general agreed not to prosecute school officials for giving an 11-year-girl her cannabis meds on campus. He gave officials until April to work out a statewide policy or craft state legislation that would apply to other families, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a 12-year-old girl who uses medical cannabis for her seizures is among five plaintiffs who are \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/5uIKC73Al2SpJ5NsJWFJI?domain=rollingstone.com\">suing Attorney General Jeff Sessions in federal court in New York\u003c/a>. They argue that the Controlled Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as illegal, infringes upon a whole bunch of constitutional rights. There’s a hearing in that longshot case next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether California will act remains to be seen. There’s no bill yet, just a conversation. One thing is clear though: Being able to go to school has been huge for four-year-old Brooke Adams.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Brooke’s School Day\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On a recent morning, the district’s van driver greets Brooke warmly for the trip across town.

It’s a high-CDB tincture supplemented with THC to reduce seizures and THC oil as a “rescue medication” to stop them once they start. \u003ccite>(Lee Romney/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Now, Brooke takes that daily CBD tincture and a rescue drug made of cannabis oil that’s high in THC. (That’s the best-known cannabinoid in the marijuana plant, the one that does get you high.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams says those drops of THC oil dribbled between Brooke’s gums and teeth tend to stop her seizures within three minutes. Her doses come in little vials. Wherever she goes, they go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooke takes fewer prescription meds now, and her mom says she has fewer seizures. But the main change is that those long ones, known as status seizures, are really infrequent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means no more ambulance trips with a breathing tube.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Her last status seizure was last August,” Adams says, “and before, she was every five weeks to the day.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Drug-Free Schools\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>But placing Brooke in preschool was tough. There’s a federal law — called the \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/oGrKCXDM32F5zvKT2pswi?domain=idea.ed.gov\">Individuals with Disabilities Education Act\u003c/a> — which mandates that kids receive a “free, appropriate public education in the least restrictive environment.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means districts need to make accommodations for kids like Brooke.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, before the summer of 2016, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/tHDeCYEM4Nt14RlFlWv-l?domain=rvusd.org\">the Rincon Valley Union School District\u003c/a> told Adams: Those vials of THC oil that are always with Brooke? They’re not allowed at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They said, ‘here’s all the things that you could have,’” Adams recounts, “’but well, she can’t be on campus so you’ll have to just have her at home.’”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But homeschooling is not what Adams thought was most appropriate for her daughter. And she knew the law. If the district couldn’t accommodate Brooke, they’d have to find another school that would.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She told the district: “She needs to go to a private school if you can’t have her.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district got on board. Adams called dozens of private preschools before she found one that had space and would accept Brooke with her seizures — and cannabis meds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11644565\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11644565\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1440\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/RS29031_IMG_6167-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Brooke Adams, 4, cradles the face of Yolanda Brindis, her nurse, on the way to private preschool in Santa Rosa.

And a lot of other accommodations, like speech therapy, occupational therapy, physical therapy, and adaptive physical education. As well as a one-on-one nurse, Yolanda Brindis, who stays with Brooke all day, riding to and from private preschool with her in a van that the district sends to fetch them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Adams knew her family would soon face a bigger hurdle: getting Brooke into kindergarten this coming fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why we’re pushing to get to Sacramento and get something passed before the fall,” she says, “because I don’t know where her placement will be in the fall if she can’t go to public school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Pushing to Change the Law\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>That “something” is a law, one that would allow Brooke and other kids like her to be in public school with their cannabis medication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Adams hired Joe Rogoway, a cannabis-industry attorney, to help her press for that. And the school district quickly got on board with the idea.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cathy Myhers, Assistant Superintendent for Student Services for the Rincon Valley Union School District, can’t discuss the cases of individual students. But she says that, generally, federal law requires her district to offer “free and appropriate” public education to kids who are “identified as children that have special needs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet cannabis prohibition prevents that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“[W]e feel as though our hands are tied,” Myhers says. “If we can’t provide her that rescue medication, we can’t serve her on a public school campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myhers and other school district officials met with a local state senator to see if California could do what a handful of other states have already done. \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/r07hCZ6W5Nu4pZghkhLsm?domain=legislature.maine.gov\">Maine\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/qVTrC1w95PSz9yGFMa6aR?domain=legiscan.com\">New Jersey \u003c/a>and \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/XR3_C2k96Qfl9q3FqCwGu?domain=codes.findlaw.com\">Colorado \u003c/a>have all changed state law to require school districts to accommodate students who have medical-marijuana recommendations. They permit a parent, legal guardian, and in some cases a primary caregiver, to administer cannabis medication at school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Similar legislation is pending in \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/L3JnC3197PSAE1KTX1sQY?domain=app.leg.wa.gov\">Washington State\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myhers has started to hear from other California districts with similar dilemmas. In California, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/X5gwC4x9gPs0vN5h6WCzC?domain=leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\">state health codes\u003c/a> forbid the practice, as does the \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/Jg8sC5yWjXSjDm9up_TRE?domain=leginfo.legislature.ca.gov\">recent law that governs legal marijuana \u003c/a>for adults. It explicitly states: No cannabis at schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those state laws could be modified. But there’s another problem: Federal law bars illegal drugs, marijuana among them, within 1,000 feet of any school or school district building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Myhers says if the district violates that federal law, \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/YhoJC680k4sOB2msVAUQ5?domain=ifap.ed.gov\">they risk losing millions of dollars in federal funding\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But it turns out, all those other states that have passed school cannabis laws are taking a gamble that the feds won’t come after them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A federal judge in Illinois recently encouraged state officials to consider crafting a similar law after the state attorney general agreed not to prosecute school officials for giving an 11-year-girl her cannabis meds on campus. He gave officials until April to work out a statewide policy or craft state legislation that would apply to other families, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And a 12-year-old girl who uses medical cannabis for her seizures is among five plaintiffs who are \u003ca href=\"https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/5uIKC73Al2SpJ5NsJWFJI?domain=rollingstone.com\">suing Attorney General Jeff Sessions in federal court in New York\u003c/a>. They argue that the Controlled Substances Act, which classifies cannabis as illegal, infringes upon a whole bunch of constitutional rights. There’s a hearing in that longshot case next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whether California will act remains to be seen. There’s no bill yet, just a conversation. One thing is clear though: Being able to go to school has been huge for four-year-old Brooke Adams.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Brooke’s School Day\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>On a recent morning, the district’s van driver greets Brooke warmly for the trip across town.

Next, the bill will move to the Senate floor for a vote, which is expected by the end of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for funding the abortion services, SB 320 doesn't specify the use of any state or university money. A private consortium that includes the Women's Foundation of California, Tara Health Foundation and a private donor has agreed to pay for implementation. The estimated cost is about $14 million, says Dr. Ruth Shaber, president of \u003ca href=\"https://tarahealthfoundation.org/about-us/\">Tara Health Foundation\u003c/a>. That figure \"includes the training, any type of new equipment that's necessary, and training in the processes, billing for the procedure, and making sure that the clinics are really prepared to implement the procedure and to offer the care well,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus health clinics currently provide reproductive health care, like testing for sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives. The risk of complications from medication abortion is low. A University of California, San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://insights.ovid.com/pubmed?pmid=25560122\">study\u003c/a> of more than 50,000 abortions provided between 2009 and 2010 found that 0.31 percent of medicated abortions resulted in major complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the transition to providing the abortion procedure at campus health clinics may give some people pause. \"You can say, well, look at the percentages, but if they're happening to you, it's not a fun thing in medicine for you and your patient,\" says Dr. Richard Boucher, who directs student health services at California State University Fullerton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boucher also cited the issue of whether individual providers would feel comfortable administering the procedure, an issue that is in the spotlight now. On Jan. 18, the federal Department of Health and Human Services \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2018/01/18/hhs-ocr-announces-new-conscience-and-religious-freedom-division.html\">announced\u003c/a> the creation of a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/18/578800250/hhs-to-protect-health-workers-with-religious-objections\">would offer protection\u003c/a> to medical providers who refuse to participate in certain services, like abortion, on religious or moral grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the California Senate votes in favor of the bill, it has a ways to go before becoming law.

Next, the bill will move to the Senate floor for a vote, which is expected by the end of January.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for funding the abortion services, SB 320 doesn't specify the use of any state or university money. A private consortium that includes the Women's Foundation of California, Tara Health Foundation and a private donor has agreed to pay for implementation. The estimated cost is about $14 million, says Dr. Ruth Shaber, president of \u003ca href=\"https://tarahealthfoundation.org/about-us/\">Tara Health Foundation\u003c/a>. That figure \"includes the training, any type of new equipment that's necessary, and training in the processes, billing for the procedure, and making sure that the clinics are really prepared to implement the procedure and to offer the care well,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus health clinics currently provide reproductive health care, like testing for sexually transmitted diseases and contraceptives. The risk of complications from medication abortion is low. A University of California, San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://insights.ovid.com/pubmed?pmid=25560122\">study\u003c/a> of more than 50,000 abortions provided between 2009 and 2010 found that 0.31 percent of medicated abortions resulted in major complications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, the transition to providing the abortion procedure at campus health clinics may give some people pause. \"You can say, well, look at the percentages, but if they're happening to you, it's not a fun thing in medicine for you and your patient,\" says Dr. Richard Boucher, who directs student health services at California State University Fullerton.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boucher also cited the issue of whether individual providers would feel comfortable administering the procedure, an issue that is in the spotlight now. On Jan. 18, the federal Department of Health and Human Services \u003ca href=\"https://www.hhs.gov/about/news/2018/01/18/hhs-ocr-announces-new-conscience-and-religious-freedom-division.html\">announced\u003c/a> the creation of a Conscience and Religious Freedom Division that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2018/01/18/578800250/hhs-to-protect-health-workers-with-religious-objections\">would offer protection\u003c/a> to medical providers who refuse to participate in certain services, like abortion, on religious or moral grounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even if the California Senate votes in favor of the bill, it has a ways to go before becoming law. The legislation would have to be passed by the state Assembly and be signed by the governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2018 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>Dozens of California school systems with some of the state’s worst test scores and biggest academic achievement gaps won’t get any extra help this year under a support system launched recently by the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr17/yr17rel91.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dashboard \u003c/a>system rates districts in several categories that impact student learning. But—mirroring a nationwide shift away from a narrow focus on tests—it offers special help to ones with sagging academics only if they also suspend a high number of students or graduate too few of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If extremely low, declining performance on math and reading exams alone were enough to trigger state support, the number of California districts that could expect it would almost double from 228 to more than 400, a CALmatters analysis shows.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis also revealed that well over 100,000 students across the state belong to key demographic subgroups that scored poorly on the test but won’t get help. The disparity for students in the Latino subgroup with poor test results is especially stark: More than 95 percent are missing out on extra state support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Part of the problem, experts say, is that categories such as suspension and graduation rates are susceptible to manipulation by districts seeking to avoid scrutiny. They also questioned why the lowest test scores don’t automatically activate outside help.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Under this system, districts can escape notice or attention simply by shining in categories that are less than academic and whose outcomes they control,” said Chad Aldeman, an education policy expert whose Boston-based nonprofit group flagged this problem in a recent \u003ca href=\"https://bellwethereducation.org/sites/default/files/Bellwether_ESSA_PlanReview_CA_Final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report\u003c/a> on California’s school accountability system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Raising similar concerns, the federal government recently \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/admins/lead/account/stateplan17/cainterimfeedbackletter.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">notified \u003c/a>the state that California’s school accountability system might be out of compliance with federal education law, in part because of its diminished focus on academics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2017/state-updates-school-data-heres-how-the-school-dashboard-works-california-school-dashboard/591355\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">created \u003c/a>the color-coded dashboard system to identify its lowest-performing school districts. To determine them, the state isolates about a dozen student subgroups (such as Latino students or poor students) and rates them in four categories: academic test performance, suspension rate, graduation rate and success teaching English to students who can’t speak the language.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earning red ratings in any two categories triggers special state help for the underperforming subgroups in that school system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But numerous subgroups of students with some of the states’ worst test scores didn’t make the cut. About a third of California’s roughly 1,000 school districts have at least one low-performing subgroup that’s not set to get any extra assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Districts that do get flagged qualify for increasing levels of state intervention—starting with a data analysis conducted by a county office of education that’s aimed at understanding the root causes of poor performance, and escalating up to possible state takeover if a district fails to improve. The dashboard does not explicitly record the size of the achievement gap—even though state officials call narrowing it a top goal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among examples that illustrate the support system’s shortcomings:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>In Santa Ana, one of the state’s largest school districts, only 4 percent of \u003ca href=\"https://caaspp.cde.ca.gov/sb2017/ViewReport?ps=true&lstTestYear=2017&lstTestType=B&lstGroup=4&lstCounty=30&lstDistrict=66670-000&lstSchool=0000000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students \u003c/a>learning English passed the state test in math and just 2 percent passed reading, levels of performance labeled red and orange on the dashboard. Yet Santa Ana didn’t make the cut. That’s because English learners there earned better than red in all the other key categories.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Stockton’s test scores show that it has eight extremely low-performing student subgroups—more deficient subgroups than any other district in the state. But only one, disabled students, are set to get state assistance.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In San Francisco, fewer than one in five black \u003ca href=\"https://caaspp.cde.ca.gov/sb2017/ViewReport?ps=true&lstTestYear=2017&lstTestType=B&lstGroup=5&lstCounty=38&lstDistrict=68478-000&lstSchool=0000000\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">students \u003c/a>passed state tests in math and reading. But because black students’ suspension and graduation rates won orange and yellow ratings, the district doesn’t qualify for outside help aimed at them.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>In fact, almost none of the districts with the state’s absolute worst test results for poor and minority students and the largest academic achievement gaps will receive special assistance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11643424 size-medium\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-800x2032.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"2032\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-800x2032.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-160x406.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-1020x2591.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-960x2438.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-240x610.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-375x953.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1-520x1321.jpg 520w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2018/01/dashboard-1.jpg 1100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Board of Education President Michael Kirst and state Superintendent for Public Instruction Tom Torlakson declined CALmatters’ requests for interviews. But in a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/Dashboard-QA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joint response\u003c/a> to our questions, their spokespeople said the state’s criteria for special assistance and the list of districts set to get it reflect California’s deliberate move away from accountability driven by test scores alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That said, test scores are important,” Janet Weeks and Bill Ainsworth wrote. “If a subgroup has very low test scores, they have met half the requirement for assistance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, the officials released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr17/yr17rel97.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a> saying that while they don’t agree with all of the U.S. Education Department’s findings, they welcome the feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two-thirds of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/documents/assistance-status.xls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">districts\u003c/a> that do qualify for extra help under the dashboard system landed on the state’s list because of lackluster achievement among their students with disabilities. Not only did the students’ test scores earn a red rating, but their suspension or graduation rate did, too. That means those students’ needs are the greatest in the eyes of the state, Weeks and Ainsworth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is precisely how the system was designed to work,” they wrote. “The dashboard was intended to bring to light inequities and highlight the most glaring gaps in California’s educational system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some observers see things differently. The number of districts on track to get help may be limited by the state’s capacity to lend support, said Carrie Hahnel, deputy director of research and policy at Education Trust–West, a nonprofit advocacy organization committed to closing the achievement gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An ideal system would send support to anyone that’s severely struggling with academics,” Hahnel said. “But the state has limited resources. It has to triage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if California used a different, broader formula to determine which districts to assist—one that offered support to all of the ones with extremely low-performing student subgroups—would the state have the resources to provide that help?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weeks and Ainsworth said this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal of the system is to increase and build capacity statewide so all districts that need support can get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton Unified got flagged for support because the dashboard gave the district’s disabled students several red ratings. Still, seven other student subgroups with bottom-of-the-barrel test scores will escape state scrutiny because they rated better than red in the other categories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Superintendent Dan Wright said he grew concerned about his disadvantaged students’ achievement long before the state released the dashboard. And he doesn’t need an outside consultant to tell him that high rates of teacher turnover in his highest poverty schools are impacting poor kids’ learning. Still, he’s hoping that whatever ideas the state suggests to help his disabled students can help their peers, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/students-help-no-help-1h706e05lpjj25y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be honest, I’m not sure if this system is right or wrong,” Wright said. “What I can tell you is districts that care will own their numbers, drill down and do something about it—whether they get extra help from the state or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special assistance that districts like Stockton qualify for will come from their county offices of education, or another state-approved provider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kern County Office of Education is gearing up to assist 15 of its roughly 50 school districts, a greater workload than that of all but two other counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That work will begin with a data-driven analysis, said Lisa Gilbert, the county’s assistant superintendent of instructional services. For example, if a school district needs to boost its attendance, the county will aim to help the district get to the bottom of its chronic absenteeism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This process is uncomfortable. It is not fun,” said Gilbert, who noted that districts on track for extra help can choose to opt out—and that the county may be able to support a few additional districts that didn’t qualify. “It requires looking in the mirror, not out the window, and being honest about what you’re doing and not doing to help kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilbert has high hopes for the school systems she’ll be assisting. But several academic experts said they’re dubious about the support system’s potential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being on this list will only yield marginal benefit,” said David Plank, who directs Policy Analysis for California Education, a research center at Stanford University. “No one at the state has proven that they know what to do or how to help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters staff reporter Matt Levin compiled and helped analyze data for this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>You can download some of the underlying data we used for this story \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/DataforPost.xlsx?x74105\">here\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[UnhelpedSchools]\u003c/p>\n\n",

But in a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/Dashboard-QA.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">joint response\u003c/a> to our questions, their spokespeople said the state’s criteria for special assistance and the list of districts set to get it reflect California’s deliberate move away from accountability driven by test scores alone.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That said, test scores are important,” Janet Weeks and Bill Ainsworth wrote. “If a subgroup has very low test scores, they have met half the requirement for assistance.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Separately, the officials released a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/nr/ne/yr17/yr17rel97.asp\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">statement\u003c/a> saying that while they don’t agree with all of the U.S. Education Department’s findings, they welcome the feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two-thirds of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/documents/assistance-status.xls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">districts\u003c/a> that do qualify for extra help under the dashboard system landed on the state’s list because of lackluster achievement among their students with disabilities. Not only did the students’ test scores earn a red rating, but their suspension or graduation rate did, too. That means those students’ needs are the greatest in the eyes of the state, Weeks and Ainsworth said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is precisely how the system was designed to work,” they wrote. “The dashboard was intended to bring to light inequities and highlight the most glaring gaps in California’s educational system.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some observers see things differently. The number of districts on track to get help may be limited by the state’s capacity to lend support, said Carrie Hahnel, deputy director of research and policy at Education Trust–West, a nonprofit advocacy organization committed to closing the achievement gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“An ideal system would send support to anyone that’s severely struggling with academics,” Hahnel said. “But the state has limited resources. It has to triage.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So, if California used a different, broader formula to determine which districts to assist—one that offered support to all of the ones with extremely low-performing student subgroups—would the state have the resources to provide that help?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weeks and Ainsworth said this:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The goal of the system is to increase and build capacity statewide so all districts that need support can get it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Stockton Unified got flagged for support because the dashboard gave the district’s disabled students several red ratings. Still, seven other student subgroups with bottom-of-the-barrel test scores will escape state scrutiny because they rated better than red in the other categories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Acting Superintendent Dan Wright said he grew concerned about his disadvantaged students’ achievement long before the state released the dashboard. And he doesn’t need an outside consultant to tell him that high rates of teacher turnover in his highest poverty schools are impacting poor kids’ learning. Still, he’s hoping that whatever ideas the state suggests to help his disabled students can help their peers, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://infogram.com/students-help-no-help-1h706e05lpjj25y\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To be honest, I’m not sure if this system is right or wrong,” Wright said. “What I can tell you is districts that care will own their numbers, drill down and do something about it—whether they get extra help from the state or not.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The special assistance that districts like Stockton qualify for will come from their county offices of education, or another state-approved provider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Kern County Office of Education is gearing up to assist 15 of its roughly 50 school districts, a greater workload than that of all but two other counties.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That work will begin with a data-driven analysis, said Lisa Gilbert, the county’s assistant superintendent of instructional services. For example, if a school district needs to boost its attendance, the county will aim to help the district get to the bottom of its chronic absenteeism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This process is uncomfortable. It is not fun,” said Gilbert, who noted that districts on track for extra help can choose to opt out—and that the county may be able to support a few additional districts that didn’t qualify. “It requires looking in the mirror, not out the window, and being honest about what you’re doing and not doing to help kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gilbert has high hopes for the school systems she’ll be assisting. But several academic experts said they’re dubious about the support system’s potential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Being on this list will only yield marginal benefit,” said David Plank, who directs Policy Analysis for California Education, a research center at Stanford University. “No one at the state has proven that they know what to do or how to help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters staff reporter Matt Levin compiled and helped analyze data for this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>You can download some of the underlying data we used for this story \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/wp-content/uploads/DataforPost.xlsx?x74105\">here\u003c/a>. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
