The diocese has a financial aid fund filled by parishioners, but it taps out at $1 million. Last year, Galvan calculated there was $16 million in need.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Historically, parish schools were built in this country to serve poor, immigrant families,” Galvan said. “The parochial model in its current form, in most cases, cannot survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galvan is not comfortable saying his schools would accept vouchers without seeing a plan on paper, but they are the ones most likely to. They have \u003ca href=\"http://www.kpbs.org/news/2015/jan/13/san-diego-diocese-searches-way-keep-schools-afloat/\">experienced a sharp decline\u003c/a> in enrollment nationwide, so they have the space. And they already take federal education dollars for low-income children and professional development, so vouchers are not as far of a stretch.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Galvan said school choice, generally, is good for parochial schools — and for parents.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The value of Catholic education — moral and character development, leadership development, a sense of responsibility ethos for others, a safe, caring environment where students are known and loved — those are all reasons why our families choose our schools,” Galvan said, adding that nearly all of his students graduate high school on time, many going on to impressive universities. “So with the question of school choice, that’s something we certainly advocate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Galvan is hesitant to give vouchers his blessing for fear of government influence. He and his colleagues in the \u003ca href=\"http://www.cacatholic.org/\">California Catholic Conference\u003c/a>, the lobbying arm of the Catholic community, favor \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2017/03/01/517917450/trump-highlighted-this-unusual-school-choice-idea-last-night\">tax credit scholarships\u003c/a>.

Of these options, the majority of California families opt for charter schools, which are public schools that operate independently from school districts, giving them greater flexibility when it comes to hiring and curriculum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ccsa.org/understanding/numbers/\">California has the most charter schools\u003c/a> and charter school students in the United States — and that number is expected to grow if President Trump’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/whitehouse.gov/files/omb/budget/fy2018/2018_blueprint.pdf\">federal education spending plan\u003c/a> is approved by Congress.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”6YFwWXlUo5QYxRX1aYkYli973IevpATM”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump wants to boost the federal charter school grant program — currently funded at $333 million — by an additional $168 million. These grants allow state and charter organizations to start new charters and expand existing ones.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some charter school advocates in California welcome that support, while others worry Trump’s support of charters — backed by \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/news/staff/bios/devos.html?src=hp\">U.S. Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos\u003c/a> — might prove toxic and end up bolstering local opposition to charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Will Trump give California public schools more money? Or take funding away?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Trump wants to do both.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The president’s proposed 2017-18 budget calls for a historic $1.4 billion federal investment in school choice, including new money for private school vouchers and charter schools, as well as directing $1 billion to follow students to the school of their choice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That infusion of school choice cash is far smaller than the $20 billion investment he proposed on the campaign trail, but it still represents a big shift in federal priorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, he’s proposing to slash federal funding for long-established after school programs, early learning initiatives and teacher preparation and retention.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”j6YcLp3S5SKHMnEvzH19LUIKDBiztGXZ”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Because California is one of the largest states with the most public school students, Trump’s plan would result in a loss of hundreds of millions of federal dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Trump also doesn’t plan to increase funding for special education programs under the \u003ca href=\"http://idea.ed.gov/\">Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA)\u003c/a>. Special education advocates have been pushing for more federal support because special education programs are costly, forcing state and school districts to make up the difference.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Some local teachers unions say Trump wants to ‘privatize’ public schools. What does that mean? Will he do it?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>President Trump has made it clear he wants to create a private school choice program at the federal level, which would offer American families alternatives if they don’t want to send their children to local public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ij.org/images/pdf_folder/school_choice/50statereport/states/california.pdf\">Constitution prohibits private school choice programs\u003c/a>. However, more than a dozen other states do support them — the most popular programs being school vouchers and tax credit scholarships.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As such, these are the two options Trump wants to make the centerpiece of his education agenda, which is outlined in his proposed 2017-18 budget.

He proposed pausing some planned spending increases to education, eliminating a $400 million fund for affordable housing and halting $300 million in planned spending to modernize state office buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"MJWku5kXSHO3FFhMEN8FCZVOddAMRPtX\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Controversially, he also proposed halting new enrollment in a higher education scholarship fund that was championed by the Assembly several years ago. The revised budget does not restore that funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Housing, child care and higher education spending are among the issues some Democratic lawmakers have cited as priorities recently. The Women's Caucus vowed to fight any cuts to child care expansion, and today issued statements praising the new budget for restoring earlier cuts aimed at child care providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under a budget deal cut between lawmakers and the governor last year, the state is supposed to add thousands of new slots for state-funded preschool and increase reimbursement rates for child care providers over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, much of the budget disagreements between lawmakers and Brown have centered on the Democratic governor's cautious revenue estimates, and Democratic lawmakers' desires to reinvest in social and welfare services cut deeply during the last recession. But this year, the uncertainty surrounding federal health care funding has added to the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other potential points of conflict with lawmakers and interest groups include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Whether the governor digs in on his interpretation of Proposition 56, a $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes passed by voters last year. In January, Brown proposed using the bulk of the $1.8 billion in increased funds to pay for normal cost increases to the state's Medi-Cal program; proponents of Proposition 56 think the money should be used to expand Medi-Cal services.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What happens with the state's cap-and-trade program in the coming months, a key component of the state's plans to reduce carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The governor reiterated Thursday that about half the funds from cap and trade go to mitigate the impact of pollution on low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutional deadline for passing the budget is June 15, but with the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_54,_Public_Display_of_Legislative_Bills_Prior_to_Vote_(2016)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 54 \u003c/a>it will have to be in print 72 hours before legislators vote on it.\u003c/p>\n\n",

He proposed pausing some planned spending increases to education, eliminating a $400 million fund for affordable housing and halting $300 million in planned spending to modernize state office buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Controversially, he also proposed halting new enrollment in a higher education scholarship fund that was championed by the Assembly several years ago.

The Women's Caucus vowed to fight any cuts to child care expansion, and today issued statements praising the new budget for restoring earlier cuts aimed at child care providers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under a budget deal cut between lawmakers and the governor last year, the state is supposed to add thousands of new slots for state-funded preschool and increase reimbursement rates for child care providers over the next several years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, much of the budget disagreements between lawmakers and Brown have centered on the Democratic governor's cautious revenue estimates, and Democratic lawmakers' desires to reinvest in social and welfare services cut deeply during the last recession. But this year, the uncertainty surrounding federal health care funding has added to the pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Other potential points of conflict with lawmakers and interest groups include:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Whether the governor digs in on his interpretation of Proposition 56, a $2-a-pack tax on cigarettes passed by voters last year. In January, Brown proposed using the bulk of the $1.8 billion in increased funds to pay for normal cost increases to the state's Medi-Cal program; proponents of Proposition 56 think the money should be used to expand Medi-Cal services.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>What happens with the state's cap-and-trade program in the coming months, a key component of the state's plans to reduce carbon emissions to 1990 levels by 2020, and to 40 percent below 1990 levels by 2030.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>The governor reiterated Thursday that about half the funds from cap and trade go to mitigate the impact of pollution on low-income communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The constitutional deadline for passing the budget is June 15, but with the passage of \u003ca href=\"https://ballotpedia.org/California_Proposition_54,_Public_Display_of_Legislative_Bills_Prior_to_Vote_(2016)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Proposition 54 \u003c/a>it will have to be in print 72 hours before legislators vote on it.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>President Trump is both dismissing his first 100 days in office as a \"\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/855373184861962240\" target=\"_blank\">ridiculous standard\u003c/a>\" and doing everything he can to convince the public that he \"\u003ca href=\"https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2017/04/25/the-white-house-boo-boo-in-counting-roosevelts-executive-orders/?utm_term=.9848cf2f84fd\" target=\"_blank\">has accomplished more in his first 100 days than any other president since Franklin Roosevelt\u003c/a>.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To help make that case before April 29, the businessman-turned-president is tapping into his inner salesman, pushing out a slew of executive orders and other plans that are generating massive amounts of headlines. In essence, like so many other rollouts by this unconventional president, he appears to be treating campaign issues like the proverbial cooked spaghetti, throwing a host of issues to the wall and seeing what sticks with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, if enacted, these plans could create significant financial, economic and environmental changes in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Education\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue\u003c/strong>: Many Republican lawmakers believe federal interference reached a high point under the Obama administration, which was notably aggressive on civil rights. Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/04/26/presidential-executive-order-enforcing-statutory-prohibitions-federal\" target=\"_blank\">signed an executive order\u003c/a> that allows his team to study whether the federal government has overstepped its authority in public education, including on issues of civil rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Potential Impact\u003c/strong>: In California, a number of reforms have already been adopted, returning control to local schools. But some education leaders, like State Board of Education President Michael Kirst, worry this federal study will be too subjective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"U4CqPkP2TBhE5XimFf4wL0PrOxk9L7Nt\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Local schools know best on lots of things, and I think what we’ve been trying to do is strike the proper balance,” Kirst said. “There is no one right way, and often people’s philosophies get tangled up in what the legal rules should be and are.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>What's Next\u003c/strong>: The study is considered one way for the Trump administration to make it clear it supports local control. The inquiry will be conducted by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos -- a strong supporter of school choice programs like vouchers. She has 300 days to conduct the review.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Environment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue\u003c/strong>: In \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/04/26/trump-to-sign-executive-order-that-could-shrink-national-monuments/\" target=\"_blank\">another executive order\u003c/a>, Trump ordered the U.S. Department of Interior to examine all U.S. national monument designations since 1996 that are over 100,000 acres. This comes after a decades-long campaign by conservative groups -- many funded by the Koch Brothers and other natural resource industries -- to loosen environmental regulations that make it more difficult to extract those resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"i1JGTMOqVL4OHIN7QSKYaRdfxcxNU3S3\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Potential Impact\u003c/strong>: The review will include six national monuments in California. The San Gabriel Mountains, Mojave Trails, Carrizo Plain, Giant Sequoia and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monuments will have their designations reviewed.

In essence, like so many other rollouts by this unconventional president, he appears to be treating campaign issues like the proverbial cooked spaghetti, throwing a host of issues to the wall and seeing what sticks with the public.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yet, if enacted, these plans could create significant financial, economic and environmental changes in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Education\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue\u003c/strong>: Many Republican lawmakers believe federal interference reached a high point under the Obama administration, which was notably aggressive on civil rights. Trump \u003ca href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2017/04/26/presidential-executive-order-enforcing-statutory-prohibitions-federal\" target=\"_blank\">signed an executive order\u003c/a> that allows his team to study whether the federal government has overstepped its authority in public education, including on issues of civil rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Potential Impact\u003c/strong>: In California, a number of reforms have already been adopted, returning control to local schools. But some education leaders, like State Board of Education President Michael Kirst, worry this federal study will be too subjective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The inquiry will be conducted by Education Secretary Betsy DeVos -- a strong supporter of school choice programs like vouchers. She has 300 days to conduct the review.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Environment\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Issue\u003c/strong>: In \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/science/2017/04/26/trump-to-sign-executive-order-that-could-shrink-national-monuments/\" target=\"_blank\">another executive order\u003c/a>, Trump ordered the U.S. Department of Interior to examine all U.S. national monument designations since 1996 that are over 100,000 acres. This comes after a decades-long campaign by conservative groups -- many funded by the Koch Brothers and other natural resource industries -- to loosen environmental regulations that make it more difficult to extract those resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Potential Impact\u003c/strong>: The review will include six national monuments in California. The San Gabriel Mountains, Mojave Trails, Carrizo Plain, Giant Sequoia and Berryessa Snow Mountain National Monuments will have their designations reviewed. The entire California coast is also a national monument, meaning offshore environmental protections enacted by President Bill Clinton and expanded by President Barack Obama could be reversed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That potential reversal comes as \u003ca href=\"https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-04-25/trump-said-to-order-review-of-oil-drilling-off-california-coast\">Bloomberg reports\u003c/a> the Trump administration is planning to open up studies on the feasibility of offshore oil and gas drilling on California's coast.
