But she's frustrated she can't afford to live in the community where she teaches: It's part of the 10th most expensive housing market in the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"For people in the private sector, they're probably saying, 'Oh, poor you, you can't live in the community where you work, what's the big deal?' \" says Henderson, 35. \"And I guess part of the nature of public education and why it's a different kind of job, is that it's all-consuming — as it should be.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like a lot of teachers, she wants to be a vital part of the community where she works. She says people in high-cost communities need to remember that a teacher's job doesn't end at 3 in the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want them to coach a team, you want them to teach all day, you want them to be a faculty adviser, you want them to be able to give your kid extra help before school, after school — whenever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that leaves teachers with a dilemma: \"We're constantly forced to make that choice: Do I stay and watch my students in the school play, or do I go home and remember what my husband looks like once in a while?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/470710747/471684992\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The problem is playing out in high-priced real estate markets across the country, from Boston and Seattle to Silicon Valley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Walter Hays Elementary School in Palo Alto, in the heart of Silicon Valley, a group of students enjoys end-of-day flag football on an expansive lawn.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Inside, third-grade teacher Tara Hunt, a 16-year veteran, is preparing for the next teaching day. She gets up around 4 a.m. to make it in from the Santa Cruz County town of Capitola -- a commute that can take two hours in traffic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She desperately wants to move closer to work. But, so far, that's not happening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This is where all the tech jobs are.

Veteran teachers in Palo Alto -- a top district in the state -- can make more than $100,000 a year. She wants to connect with the community and families she teaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But when Hunt looked for a place in the city where she's taught for more than a decade?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I was looking at a two-bedroom house in Palo Alto for rent for $7,500 a month — 1,200 square feet. I don't even know who that would work for,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high-cost cities, teachers and their unions are increasingly making cost-of-living adjustments central to contract talks, while conceding that's not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's important for teachers to live and make roots in the communities where they teach,\" Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, tells NPR Ed. \"Yet renting or buying a home in expensive cities is financially out of reach for most educators. Salary increases alone won't do the trick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and communities, meantime, are scrambling to find solutions. Scores of cities have added affordable-housing quotas to rules on new development. Some are debating building subsidized condos or apartments specifically for teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palo Alto's City Council is exploring several ideas, including subsidized housing for teachers and other public servants who can't afford local rents but make too much to qualify for low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is taking several steps, including forgivable housing loans, mortgage assistance and, eventually, affordable housing specifically for teachers. In May the city will restart its \u003ca href=\"http://sfmohcd.org/teacher-next-door-program-tnd\">Teacher Next Door program\u003c/a>, which offers city teachers up to $20,000 toward the purchase of their first home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is that the moves will help stem a teacher turnover crisis in the city brought about largely by the tech-driven housing boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have teachers that are paying rents that are 50 or 70 percent of their take-home pay,\" says union official Matthew Hardy with United Educators of San Francisco. \"That's just not tenable for keeping folks in the school district. That's creating instability in our schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these programs that cities are pressing have yet to significantly move the needle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So far, few local initiatives have been able to make a major dent in the problem,\" says Stockton Williams, a housing expert with the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://uli.org/\">Urban Land Institute\u003c/a>. The biggest changes cities can make, he says, are \"removing or alleviating local obstacles to more development. This means everything from more flexible zoning, more efficient entitlements and more outreach to neighborhoods that resist more development.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Silicon Valley, Tara Hunt says she knows some parents are sympathetic. But she's not sure they really get it. Many are in a different tax bracket and, at times she says it feels like they're in a different world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Steve Jobs' kids went through this school. We have some pretty high-profile parents. It's really hard to relate with them because they're very wealthy people,\" she says.

She says people in high-cost communities need to remember that a teacher's job doesn't end at 3 in the afternoon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"You want them to coach a team, you want them to teach all day, you want them to be a faculty adviser, you want them to be able to give your kid extra help before school, after school — whenever.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that leaves teachers with a dilemma: \"We're constantly forced to make that choice: Do I stay and watch my students in the school play, or do I go home and remember what my husband looks like once in a while?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Veteran teachers in Palo Alto -- a top district in the state -- can make more than $100,000 a year.

I don't even know who that would work for,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In high-cost cities, teachers and their unions are increasingly making cost-of-living adjustments central to contract talks, while conceding that's not enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's important for teachers to live and make roots in the communities where they teach,\" Randi Weingarten, president of the American Federation of Teachers, tells NPR Ed. \"Yet renting or buying a home in expensive cities is financially out of reach for most educators. Salary increases alone won't do the trick.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cities and communities, meantime, are scrambling to find solutions. Scores of cities have added affordable-housing quotas to rules on new development. Some are debating building subsidized condos or apartments specifically for teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Palo Alto's City Council is exploring several ideas, including subsidized housing for teachers and other public servants who can't afford local rents but make too much to qualify for low-income housing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco is taking several steps, including forgivable housing loans, mortgage assistance and, eventually, affordable housing specifically for teachers. In May the city will restart its \u003ca href=\"http://sfmohcd.org/teacher-next-door-program-tnd\">Teacher Next Door program\u003c/a>, which offers city teachers up to $20,000 toward the purchase of their first home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hope is that the moves will help stem a teacher turnover crisis in the city brought about largely by the tech-driven housing boom.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We have teachers that are paying rents that are 50 or 70 percent of their take-home pay,\" says union official Matthew Hardy with United Educators of San Francisco. \"That's just not tenable for keeping folks in the school district. That's creating instability in our schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of these programs that cities are pressing have yet to significantly move the needle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"So far, few local initiatives have been able to make a major dent in the problem,\" says Stockton Williams, a housing expert with the nonprofit \u003ca href=\"http://uli.org/\">Urban Land Institute\u003c/a>. The biggest changes cities can make, he says, are \"removing or alleviating local obstacles to more development. This means everything from more flexible zoning, more efficient entitlements and more outreach to neighborhoods that resist more development.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Silicon Valley, Tara Hunt says she knows some parents are sympathetic. But she's not sure they really get it. Many are in a different tax bracket and, at times she says it feels like they're in a different world.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Steve Jobs' kids went through this school. We have some pretty high-profile parents. It's really hard to relate with them because they're very wealthy people,\" she says. And, she adds, it's hard for those people to understand what Silicon Valley teachers are facing: \"No one's being proactive.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maybe nothing will be done, Hunt says, until more veteran teachers start to pack up and leave the communities they serve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

A few months later, the University of California system's president quietly ordered a new security system to monitor Internet traffic on all UC campuses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And the people who had to put the box in place were ordered to do so and also ordered to keep quiet about it,\" says Ethan Ligon, a professor of agricultural economics at the University of California, Berkeley.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But they didn't keep quiet: Ligon and other faculty members found out — and were surprised that they weren't consulted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"http://www.npr.org/player/embed/468963220/470119984\" width=\"100%\" height=\"290\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" title=\"NPR embedded audio player\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a long tradition that dates back to the [1930s] at the University of California that gives faculty the right to share in shaping policies at the university, both on the campus and across the UC system,\" Ligon says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The decision by Janet Napolitano, the university president and a former secretary of Homeland Security in the Obama administration, is stoking debate over what level of privacy and free speech should be guaranteed to faculty and students at public universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The security system ordered by Napolitano not only monitors Internet traffic — it also stores it for at least 30 days. The idea is to allow security personnel to go back through the traffic to look for breaches.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But experts like Vinnie Liu, a senior partner with the Internet security firm Bishop Fox, say this kind of system creates a trove of information for hackers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Where you rely on that as a central point of control, if that monitoring system were to be compromised, if it's not deployed correctly or it's not managed correctly, then, yes, it would absolutely be a very bad situation,\" Liu says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10893070\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-10893070\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Napolitano-800x483.jpg\" alt=\"UC president and former U.S. Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano.\" width=\"800\" height=\"483\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Napolitano-800x483.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Napolitano-400x241.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Napolitano.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Napolitano-1180x712.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/03/Napolitano-960x579.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">UC president and former U.S. Homeland Security chief Janet Napolitano. \u003ccite>(Chip Somodevilla/Getty Images)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>At a recent meeting of the UC Berkeley Graduate Assembly, many students learned about it for the first time.

Her office said it did not have anyone available to speak with NPR in time for this broadcast.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">'The very substance of higher learning really would not be possible unless the faculty and students have some guarantee of confidentiality that they can pursue perhaps crazy ideas and speak with each other without the fear of the stuff coming back to haunt them.'\u003ccite>Barmak Nassirian\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>But \u003ca href=\"http://security.ucop.edu/napolitano-letter.html\">in a letter to university chancellors\u003c/a>, Napolitano said her office had no interest in individual emails or browsing history, but that network monitoring is a critical element of cybersecurity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Christine Borgman, a professor of information studies at UCLA, recently got a chance to meet with representatives from Napolitano's office who stressed the urgency they felt after the UCLA break-in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can certainly understand that you need to scale up your security and you don't want to broadcast exactly what you're doing because you're only going to invite certain kinds of attacks,\" Borgman says. \"But that doesn't mean that we couldn't have talked through more of it as we went.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Napolitano presides over a university system with a stormy history around free speech and \u003ca href=\"http://www.npr.org/2012/08/21/159373688/student-subversives-and-the-fbis-dirty-tricks\">spying by the federal government\u003c/a> — especially at Berkeley, where Eric Brewer is a professor of computer science. He says J. Edgar Hoover spied on Berkeley faculty and students during the Cold War.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"He was worried about Berkeley being a hotbed of communism, and so he felt free rein to monitor what was going on there,\" Brewer says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, these days most people expect their employers are monitoring them at work. But academia is different, says Barmak Nassirian of the American Association of State Colleges and Universities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The very substance of higher learning really would not be possible unless the faculty and students have some guarantee of confidentiality that they can pursue perhaps crazy ideas and speak with each other without the fear of the stuff coming back to haunt them,\" Nassirian says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But universities are also favorite targets of hackers because of all the personal and professional information on their servers, which means it's going to be tough to balance security, free speech and privacy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Copyright 2016 NPR.

"content": "\u003cp>The computer programming class at Presidio Middle School in San Francisco is humming with excitement as the teacher, Grey Todd, explains the day's assignment to a group of eager sixth-graders. They'll be programming a ball to bounce around a computer screen as part of a semester-long class that teaches them the basics of computer programming.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's part of a district pilot in 12 middle schools so far, and also one of the first in the country to be teaching students so young to program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Whether we like it or not, kids are spending more and more time with screens in front of them. ... So to teach them to use that in a responsible way and to be able to control it in a responsible way, I think it’s vital,\" Todd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pilot started at the beginning of the school year. If successful, it will expand to a pilot program for preschoolers in the district this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district already offers computer programming classes as an elective in high schools or as part of afterschool programs in middle and elementary schools. But this will be its first concerted effort to make a computer programming class that's available and mandatory for all students. The students program in an open-source language called Scratch, developed by MIT and designed for first-time coders.

So to teach them to use that in a responsible way and to be able to control it in a responsible way, I think it’s vital,\" Todd said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The pilot started at the beginning of the school year. If successful, it will expand to a pilot program for preschoolers in the district this spring.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district already offers computer programming classes as an elective in high schools or as part of afterschool programs in middle and elementary schools. But this will be its first concerted effort to make a computer programming class that's available and mandatory for all students.

A teacher had her called to the office when she showed up in the shirt, according to court documents.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'I knew that rule did not exist, and I knew that was my free speech right to wear that shirt to school.'\u003ccite>Taylor Victor\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>\"The law on this is very clear: Public schools can't censor the personal beliefs of students,\" ACLU attorney Linnea Nelson said. \"The message of Taylor's T-shirt expresses the most fundamental type of speech already protected by the First Amendment, the California Constitution and the California education code.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The school board approved the required dress code updates Tuesday night, spokeswoman Victoria Brunn said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Students continue to be supported in their right for self-expression in all of our high schools,\" Brunn said in a statement. \"Our No.1 priority continues to be the ability to keep our kids safe physically and emotionally.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victor, who was open at school about identifying as a lesbian, said she had reviewed the district's dress code before deciding to wear the shirt. Not finding any rules prohibiting pro-gay messages, she says she chose to go home instead of change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I knew that rule did not exist, and I knew that was my free speech right to wear that shirt to school,\" Victor said in an interview.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Victor \u003ca href=\"https://medium.com/@ACLU_NorCal/i-sued-my-high-school-for-censorship-and-won-521b400b59b8#.2710nmfb6\" target=\"_blank\">has published a blog post for the ACLU of Northern California\u003c/a> titled, \"I Sued My High School for Censorship and Won.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A high school senior in South Carolina was suspended in September for also refusing to change out of a T-shirt with the same phrase as Victor's. The school district ended up overturning the punishment, saying the shirt bothered some adults but wasn't a problem for other students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In other recent cases, Ohio University last year agreed to revise its student conduct code and pay $32,000 to a student who sued after a campus group was told not to wear T-shirts bearing a sexually suggestive double entendre.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, a Connecticut school district agreed to let a high school student wear a T-shirt with a slash mark through a gay pride rainbow after facing the threat of legal action from the ACLU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But federal courts have allowed some limits on student speech.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 2007 that an Alaska school acted within its discretion to discourage illegal drug use when it suspended a student who displayed a banner saying \"Bong Hits 4 Jesus\" at an Olympic torch relay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said in 2014 that administrators at a Northern California high school plagued by racial strife lawfully banned T-shirts bearing the American flag while the campus commemorated \"Mexican Heritage Day.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the Central California settlement in the works last week, Victor was given the go-ahead to wear the disputed T-shirt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I wore the shirt on the first day I was allowed to,\" she said. \"My mom bought me the same shirt in a different color, and she bought me a sweat shirt that says 'Dare to be Different' in rainbow colors.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
