But the university system also does not plan to admit more residents to any of its campuses unless it gets more state funding, university President Janet Napolitano says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Napolitano told lawmakers on Tuesday during a budget hearing in Sacramento that UC's two flagship campuses will not be allowed to increase the percentage of out-of-state and international undergraduates they enroll during the next academic year. Nonresidents made up 20 percent of the undergraduates at UCLA last fall and 23 percent at Berkeley during the last academic year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The two schools where the number of out-of-state students really rubs people raw are Berkeley and UCLA because they are in the highest demand,\" she said. \"For the '15-16 school year, we will maintain the current level of out-of-state enrollment with no such guarantee for the other campuses of the University of California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The university has been admitting more students from outside California to generate revenue because those students pay much higher tuition — $35,070 compared with the $12,192 charged to residents.

Along with UCLA and Berkeley, nonresident enrollment also has increased rapidly at UC San Diego, where students from outside California accounted for one in five undergraduates in the fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The trend has emerged as a sticking point in negotiations over the university's budget. In November, Napolitano proposed raising tuition by 5 percent this fall and expanding undergraduate enrollment by 3,000 — one-third of the slots for Californians and two-thirds for students from abroad and out of state. Gov.

Using their contacts in East Palo Alto, they have created a new educational coding experience: StreetCode Academy, which launched this past November.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we realized from CodeCamp is that it’s not enough to have a coding summer camp or a coding class. None of those things by themselves are enough.

"content": "\u003cp>If there's one place to watch the really hard choices about what government can afford to spend on higher education and what a college degree should cost, it's the meat grinder that now faces the University of California in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The stakes are high. The university, led by UC President Janet Napolitano, has insisted it will \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/19/gov-brown-tries-to-derail-proposed-uc-tuition-increase\" target=\"_blank\">increase tuition for as long as the next five years\u003c/a> if lawmakers don't pony up enough taxpayer dollars. Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders, on the other hand, have \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Gov-Jerry-Brown-fires-back-at-UC-tells-it-to-6004634.php\" target=\"_blank\">demanded that the university system cut costs and keep tuition levels constant\u003c/a> if it wants any additional dollars. You couldn't ask for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Jerry-Brown-takes-on-Janet-Napolitano-over-UC-5903762.php\" target=\"_blank\">a more tense showdown than this one\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(There was a tiny easing of that tension on Wednesday, when \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-ln-uc-summer-20150218-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Napolitano extended an olive branch by canceling a tuition hike for summer session students\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the middle of the fracas, though, has appeared something fascinating: a push for transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It began when Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) said she'd insist \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article9912773.html\" target=\"_blank\">on a \"zero-based budget\" review of UC spending this year\u003c/a>. Translation: Justify every dollar you spend, UC leaders.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That process kicked off on Wednesday when an Assembly budget subcommittee summoned UC officials and the governor's team to start answering some tough questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This hearing marks the beginning of an overdue journey,\" Atkins said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has called for a $150 million boost in UC funding, and GOP legislators support that -- along with some new efforts at accountability.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"California families are counting on us to come up with solutions,\" said Assembly GOP Leader Kristin Olsen (R-Modesto).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The hearing clearly wasn't going to provide all the answers needed. But here are the big questions the University of California is being asked, and some of them are doozies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Why Has UC Spending Gone Up So Much?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative staff \u003ca href=\"http://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/sites/abgt.assembly.ca.gov/files/UC%20Feb%2018%20agenda.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">has been digging through the university system's spending documents for weeks\u003c/a>, and still doesn't have a totally clear picture of the reason the total UC budget is now $26.9 billion. That's a 40 percent increase from the last pre-recession year of 2007-08 until 2014-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, consider some other government services at that same seven-year mark: court funding has been cut by 3 percent; the state's social services have been cut by 22 percent; even the California State University system's increased spending was smaller, at 24 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costs clearly vary by which of the 10 UC campuses is being examined. UCLA, for example, has a budget about 10 times the size of UC Santa Cruz. Even so, legislative budget experts have highlighted particularly big systemwide expenses, from a 99 percent increase in spending on health sciences instruction (medical and other specialty schools) to a 68 percent increase in spending on the five UC-run hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One huge cost these days: paying for UC employee pensions. The university, with the blessing of state officials, stopped putting money into its pension system for almost 20 years. Now, those pension obligations are costing about $1.3 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a lot more to sort out. Of the $26.9 billion budget for the university system, only $6.9 billion has been identified as being spent on \"core\" operations, like teaching.

The university, led by UC President Janet Napolitano, has insisted it will \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/11/19/gov-brown-tries-to-derail-proposed-uc-tuition-increase\" target=\"_blank\">increase tuition for as long as the next five years\u003c/a> if lawmakers don't pony up enough taxpayer dollars. Gov. Jerry Brown and legislative leaders, on the other hand, have \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Gov-Jerry-Brown-fires-back-at-UC-tells-it-to-6004634.php\" target=\"_blank\">demanded that the university system cut costs and keep tuition levels constant\u003c/a> if it wants any additional dollars. You couldn't ask for \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Jerry-Brown-takes-on-Janet-Napolitano-over-UC-5903762.php\" target=\"_blank\">a more tense showdown than this one\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(There was a tiny easing of that tension on Wednesday, when \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/education/la-me-ln-uc-summer-20150218-story.html\" target=\"_blank\">Napolitano extended an olive branch by canceling a tuition hike for summer session students\u003c/a>.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the middle of the fracas, though, has appeared something fascinating: a push for transparency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It began when Assembly Speaker Toni Atkins (D-San Diego) said she'd insist \u003ca href=\"http://www.sacbee.com/opinion/op-ed/soapbox/article9912773.html\" target=\"_blank\">on a \"zero-based budget\" review of UC spending this year\u003c/a>.

But here are the big questions the University of California is being asked, and some of them are doozies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Why Has UC Spending Gone Up So Much?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative staff \u003ca href=\"http://abgt.assembly.ca.gov/sites/abgt.assembly.ca.gov/files/UC%20Feb%2018%20agenda.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">has been digging through the university system's spending documents for weeks\u003c/a>, and still doesn't have a totally clear picture of the reason the total UC budget is now $26.9 billion. That's a 40 percent increase from the last pre-recession year of 2007-08 until 2014-15.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, consider some other government services at that same seven-year mark: court funding has been cut by 3 percent; the state's social services have been cut by 22 percent; even the California State University system's increased spending was smaller, at 24 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Costs clearly vary by which of the 10 UC campuses is being examined. UCLA, for example, has a budget about 10 times the size of UC Santa Cruz. Even so, legislative budget experts have highlighted particularly big systemwide expenses, from a 99 percent increase in spending on health sciences instruction (medical and other specialty schools) to a 68 percent increase in spending on the five UC-run hospitals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One huge cost these days: paying for UC employee pensions. The university, with the blessing of state officials, stopped putting money into its pension system for almost 20 years. Now, those pension obligations are costing about $1.3 billion a year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there's a lot more to sort out. Of the $26.9 billion budget for the university system, only $6.9 billion has been identified as being spent on \"core\" operations, like teaching. Getting details on that other $20 billion in costs will no doubt be high on the to-do list at the state Capitol.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2. Are out-of-state students crowding out California kids?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is perhaps one of the most intense public debates out there, and it's rooted in money.

This compares with a high of $94,000 and low of $24,000 in California, the index reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nationally, the top-tier income averages about $81,000 and the bottom averages about $23,000, according to EMSI occupation employee statistics and the American Community Survey.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘The truth is that it’s going to take more than Washington, it’s going to take more than government, to fix these things.’\u003ccite>Rana Foroohar, assistant managing editor of Time Magazine\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Income inequality is rising nationally, according to a\u003ca href=\"http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/12/05/u-s-income-inequality-on-rise-for-decades-is-now-highest-since-1928/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Pew study\u003c/a>, and with it the need for collaboration between private companies and the public sector is growing, according to Rana Foroohar, assistant managing editor of Time Magazine, who spoke at Joint Venture Silicon Valley’s annual State of the Valley conference Wednesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is an idea that is taking hold, that we are in a world that is bifurcated and will become ever more bifurcated, that things are going to be getting more unequal in society before they become less so,” Foroohar said. “The truth is that it’s going to take more than Washington, it’s going to take more than government, to fix these things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foroohar said she thinks reforming education through collaboration between the private and public sectors is one possible way to address income inequality. She added that her reporting shows that companies aren’t finding enough qualified individuals to fill middle-tier jobs, while there is a large talent pool for both high-paying jobs and low-end positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”OWwUfEaQMa35C5bP89Pv8CzXJpYPvlzd”]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not do such a good job in this country of connecting the dots between job creators and educators,” Foroohar said to a roomful of public officials and industry leaders. “The educational system, except at a very high level, is churning out skills that aren’t necessarily required.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foroohar said that 60 percent of new jobs that will be created over the next three years will require a two- or four-year degree, making education vital to the success of companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foroohar said she believes the private sector can help improve education and the bottom line. In her talk, she cited Starbucks Corp. and IBM Corp. as examples of corporations that are investing in secondary and higher education in order to improve their respective talent pools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a companywide poll revealed that 70 percent of Starbucks’ workforce hadn’t finished their college degrees, the coffee giant announced in June 2014 that it would \u003ca href=\"http://www.starbucks.com/careers/college-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pay for its employees to complete their degrees online\u003c/a> through \u003ca href=\"https://asuonline.asu.edu/starbucks-and-arizona-state-university/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arizona State University\u003c/a>. While Starbucks has not released the cost of its education program, Forbes reports that if only 3 percent of employees take up the company’s offer, the investment could cost Starbucks about $50 million annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on her reporting, Foroohar said that Starbucks already is experiencing lower retention costs and the program has become a recruiting tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IBM is another corporation attempting to address business weaknesses through education. In order to address the problem of finding middle-tier talent, the company started the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ptechnyc.org/site/default.aspx?PageID=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH)\u003c/a> in Brooklyn, New York. \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/six-years-high-school-two-extra-years-catching/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Participating students\u003c/a> can graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in applied science. IBM guarantees job interviews to qualified graduates of IBM-affiliated P-TECH schools, according to a company news release.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Five other P-TECH schools have since opened in Chicago with IBM, Cisco Systems Inc., Verizon Communications Inc., Microsoft Corp. and Motorola Inc. serving as industry partners.

She added that her reporting shows that companies aren’t finding enough qualified individuals to fill middle-tier jobs, while there is a large talent pool for both high-paying jobs and low-end positions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do not do such a good job in this country of connecting the dots between job creators and educators,” Foroohar said to a roomful of public officials and industry leaders. “The educational system, except at a very high level, is churning out skills that aren’t necessarily required.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foroohar said that 60 percent of new jobs that will be created over the next three years will require a two- or four-year degree, making education vital to the success of companies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Foroohar said she believes the private sector can help improve education and the bottom line. In her talk, she cited Starbucks Corp. and IBM Corp. as examples of corporations that are investing in secondary and higher education in order to improve their respective talent pools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a companywide poll revealed that 70 percent of Starbucks’ workforce hadn’t finished their college degrees, the coffee giant announced in June 2014 that it would \u003ca href=\"http://www.starbucks.com/careers/college-plan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pay for its employees to complete their degrees online\u003c/a> through \u003ca href=\"https://asuonline.asu.edu/starbucks-and-arizona-state-university/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arizona State University\u003c/a>. While Starbucks has not released the cost of its education program, Forbes reports that if only 3 percent of employees take up the company’s offer, the investment could cost Starbucks about $50 million annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Based on her reporting, Foroohar said that Starbucks already is experiencing lower retention costs and the program has become a recruiting tool.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>IBM is another corporation attempting to address business weaknesses through education. In order to address the problem of finding middle-tier talent, the company started the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ptechnyc.org/site/default.aspx?PageID=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Pathways in Technology Early College High School (P-TECH)\u003c/a> in Brooklyn, New York. \u003ca href=\"http://www.pbs.org/newshour/updates/six-years-high-school-two-extra-years-catching/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Participating students\u003c/a> can graduate with a high school diploma and an associate degree in applied science.

College officials didn't grant the demands. So the BSU, along with other people of color organized as the Third World Liberation Front, launched what would become the longest campus strike in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 115-day strike, lasting into late March 1969, led to repeated clashes between students and the hundreds of police officers summoned to campus to impose order. More than 700 students were arrested and scores injured during the strike's first two months. The standoff led to headline-grabbing confrontations between students on one side and Gov. Ronald Reagan and S.F. State's acting president on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10428497\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10428497 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group-1440x964.jpg\" alt=\"A group of community leaders march in solidarity with the Black Students Union at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968.\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group-400x268.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group-800x536.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of community leaders marches in solidarity with the Black Student Union at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the end, the strike resulted in the creation of San Francisco State's College of Ethnic Studies, a division that today offers hundreds of classes each year and serves thousands of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strike had a wider significance for San Francisco's black community, which was fighting its own battles for a more effective voice in community affairs and which came out strongly in support of the student activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10428495\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 390px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10428495\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook-400x271.jpg\" alt=\"Eloise Westbrook (1915-2011) speaking at a protest in support of a student strike at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968. \" width=\"390\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook-400x271.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook-800x541.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eloise Westbrook (1915-2011) speaking at a protest in support of a student strike at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Eloise Westbrook (1915-2011), seen first on camera in this clip, was a formidable community activist in Bayview-Hunters Point for many years.

All clips have been made available by the \u003ca href=\"https://diva.sfsu.edu/collections/sfbatv\" target=\"_blank\">Bay Area TV Archive at San Francisco State University\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>The above clip features KQED footage taken from three different news reports from Dec. 4, 1968, featuring the African-American community of Bayview/Hunters Point at San Francisco State College, supporting the Black Students Union and Third World Liberation Front in their efforts to establish a college of Ethnic Studies.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>In early November 1968, the Black Student Union at San Francisco State University presented a list of 10 \"non-negotiable\" demands to administrators -- a list focusing on creating a black studies department and increasing black access to the university. College officials didn't grant the demands. So the BSU, along with other people of color organized as the Third World Liberation Front, launched what would become the longest campus strike in U.S. history.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 115-day strike, lasting into late March 1969, led to repeated clashes between students and the hundreds of police officers summoned to campus to impose order. More than 700 students were arrested and scores injured during the strike's first two months. The standoff led to headline-grabbing confrontations between students on one side and Gov. Ronald Reagan and S.F. State's acting president on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10428497\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10428497 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group-1440x964.jpg\" alt=\"A group of community leaders march in solidarity with the Black Students Union at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968.\" width=\"640\" height=\"428\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group-400x268.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/group-800x536.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A group of community leaders marches in solidarity with the Black Student Union at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>In the end, the strike resulted in the creation of San Francisco State's College of Ethnic Studies, a division that today offers hundreds of classes each year and serves thousands of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strike had a wider significance for San Francisco's black community, which was fighting its own battles for a more effective voice in community affairs and which came out strongly in support of the student activists.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10428495\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 390px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\" wp-image-10428495\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook-400x271.jpg\" alt=\"Eloise Westbrook (1915-2011) speaking at a protest in support of a student strike at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968. \" width=\"390\" height=\"264\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook-400x271.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook-800x541.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/02/Eloise-Westbrook.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 390px) 100vw, 390px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Eloise Westbrook (1915-2011) speaking at a protest in support of a student strike at San Francisco State on Dec. 4, 1968.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Eloise Westbrook (1915-2011), seen first on camera in this clip, was a formidable community activist in Bayview-Hunters Point for many years.

She does not let Jessica, 6, ride Muni alone. “That’s for older kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of its effort to align its transportation services with the new student assignment policy, the district cut its fleet to 25 buses last school year, down from 44 buses in 2011–2012.

The district does not plan more cuts or additions, according to school district spokeswoman Heidi Anderson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As school board member Rachel Norton sees it, every dollar spent on busing is a dollar taken out of the classroom. One bus costs $100,000 to operate and maintain for a year. The money comes out of the district’s general fund, which also covers teacher salaries and operating essentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have a lot of money, and we have to be careful to invest in the highest-impact strategy,” said Norton, who was first elected in 2009 and now chairs the Ad-Hoc Committee on Student Assignment. “You can pay for a literacy coach and a half with the money it costs to run a bus. Is a bus that carries students to a school without literacy coaches the best strategy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10420229\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10420229 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica.jpg\" alt=\"The Bolos have no car, so choosing a school a few blocks from home is essential. \" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Bolos have no car, so choosing a school a few blocks from home is essential. \u003ccite>(Anna Vignet / San Francisco Public Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Norton said that while the district knows the demographics of students who request transportation, it does not have stop-by-stop data, nor the expertise to design routes that would optimally serve the most students. “We as a district could use some planning assistance,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CHARITY BUYS BUS PASSES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni in 2013 started offering free passes to low- and moderate-income San Franciscans ages 5 to 18 through a pilot program funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

So far, 26,000 kids have signed up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Collier said it saves his family about $30 per month, and many families praise the program for making the commute to school more affordable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10420230\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Jessica-route.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10420230 size-thumbnail\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Jessica-route-400x447.jpg\" alt=\"Jessica Bolos’ walk: 9 minutes, 0.5 miles.\" width=\"400\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Jessica-route-400x447.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Jessica-route-800x894.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Jessica-route.jpg 895w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jessica Bolos’ walk: 9 minutes, 0.5 miles. \u003ccite>(Illustration by Erika Rae Langdon / San Francisco Public Press, Stamen Maps / Creative Commons)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>For families with younger children, who need to be accompanied on public transit, the cost of travel is even more significant because caregivers must pay $2.25 per trip, even if a student qualifies for a free pass. The crowded and delay-plagued Muni system, which gets fewer than 60 percent of buses and trolleys to arrive on time, will bring in millions in new funding to upgrade infrastructure and add service starting this year, thanks to propositions A and B, approved by voters in November. But Muni is not a transit system designed to transport large numbers of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for what families really want, some certainly prioritize community, family history and convenience over test scores when choosing a school. But the district found in a 2012 survey of more than 10,000 families that academic reputation usually trumped proximity to home as a factor. Fewer than half the families responding to the survey included nearby schools in their choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, a number of families interviewed for this story chose otherwise. This contradiction demonstrates the difficulty of drawing conclusions about what drives choice patterns in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the 2014 application process shows that half of the 22 schools least requested by families living in their attendance areas are located in the city’s poorest neighborhoods, and eight of them have student populations dominated by a single race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further, reports produced by the district show that a higher percentage of African-Americans and Latinos submit school choice applications late than do their Asian and white peers, and by doing so are placed at the bottom of the heap during student-assignment season. This limits their access to the district’s best schools, and can result in assignment to the least-requested schools, which are often in their neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2014 report produced by the Denver transit advocacy organization Mile High Connects and UC Berkeley’s Center for Cities + Schools, notes that reforming student transportation can be complicated by the sharing of responsibility for busing by local, regional and federal agencies. It can get very political as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julia Ehrman, a sustainable transportation fellow with San Francisco public schools and a fellow at the Center for Cities + Schools, spent last summer investigating the district’s transportation landscape. She found that there was very little data about how transportation affects families’ ability to take advantage of school choice. But she cautioned against the view that programs intended to promote walking and biking as part of the district’s sustainability goals can replace school bus and transit service for public school students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we only promote walking and biking, then we sort of contradict the premise of school choice: that mobility is a good way to pursue educational equity,” Ehrman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maddison said the biggest problem actually is not transportation. It is the vast disparities among San Francisco schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“School choice can never be a replacement for ensuring that all our schools are excellent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post originally appeared on KQED News Associate site \u003ca href=\"http://sfpublicpress.org/\" target=\"_blank\">San Francisco Public Press\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

With few exceptions, a significantly higher percentage of these students live closer to school than do students at the highest-performing and most requested schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While a number of factors are at play, lack of mobility looms large. Even though families of all socioeconomic backgrounds are traveling long distances, many schools in the most economically disadvantaged parts of town draw the bulk of their students from the surrounding neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Student populations at some of these schools are so imbalanced that the district considers them “racially isolated,” meaning that more than 60 percent of the school’s students are of a single race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>PUBLIC TRANSIT POOR SUBSTITUTE\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rosario Bolos walks her daughter, Jessica, three blocks from their house to Cesar Chavez Elementary in the Mission.

She does not let Jessica, 6, ride Muni alone. “That’s for older kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of its effort to align its transportation services with the new student assignment policy, the district cut its fleet to 25 buses last school year, down from 44 buses in 2011–2012. As a result, 20 schools lost all bus service, and service to many others shrank or changed. The district does not plan more cuts or additions, according to school district spokeswoman Heidi Anderson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As school board member Rachel Norton sees it, every dollar spent on busing is a dollar taken out of the classroom. One bus costs $100,000 to operate and maintain for a year. The money comes out of the district’s general fund, which also covers teacher salaries and operating essentials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We don’t have a lot of money, and we have to be careful to invest in the highest-impact strategy,” said Norton, who was first elected in 2009 and now chairs the Ad-Hoc Committee on Student Assignment. “You can pay for a literacy coach and a half with the money it costs to run a bus. Is a bus that carries students to a school without literacy coaches the best strategy?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10420229\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10420229 size-full\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica.jpg\" alt=\"The Bolos have no car, so choosing a school a few blocks from home is essential. \" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica.jpg 1000w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica-400x267.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2015/01/Bolos-and-Jessica-800x534.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Bolos have no car, so choosing a school a few blocks from home is essential. \u003ccite>(Anna Vignet / San Francisco Public Press)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Norton said that while the district knows the demographics of students who request transportation, it does not have stop-by-stop data, nor the expertise to design routes that would optimally serve the most students. “We as a district could use some planning assistance,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>CHARITY BUYS BUS PASSES\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Muni in 2013 started offering free passes to low- and moderate-income San Franciscans ages 5 to 18 through a pilot program funded by the Metropolitan Transportation Commission.

The crowded and delay-plagued Muni system, which gets fewer than 60 percent of buses and trolleys to arrive on time, will bring in millions in new funding to upgrade infrastructure and add service starting this year, thanks to propositions A and B, approved by voters in November. But Muni is not a transit system designed to transport large numbers of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for what families really want, some certainly prioritize community, family history and convenience over test scores when choosing a school. But the district found in a 2012 survey of more than 10,000 families that academic reputation usually trumped proximity to home as a factor. Fewer than half the families responding to the survey included nearby schools in their choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And yet, a number of families interviewed for this story chose otherwise. This contradiction demonstrates the difficulty of drawing conclusions about what drives choice patterns in the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Data from the 2014 application process shows that half of the 22 schools least requested by families living in their attendance areas are located in the city’s poorest neighborhoods, and eight of them have student populations dominated by a single race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Further, reports produced by the district show that a higher percentage of African-Americans and Latinos submit school choice applications late than do their Asian and white peers, and by doing so are placed at the bottom of the heap during student-assignment season. This limits their access to the district’s best schools, and can result in assignment to the least-requested schools, which are often in their neighborhoods.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2014 report produced by the Denver transit advocacy organization Mile High Connects and UC Berkeley’s Center for Cities + Schools, notes that reforming student transportation can be complicated by the sharing of responsibility for busing by local, regional and federal agencies. It can get very political as a result.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Julia Ehrman, a sustainable transportation fellow with San Francisco public schools and a fellow at the Center for Cities + Schools, spent last summer investigating the district’s transportation landscape. She found that there was very little data about how transportation affects families’ ability to take advantage of school choice. But she cautioned against the view that programs intended to promote walking and biking as part of the district’s sustainability goals can replace school bus and transit service for public school students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we only promote walking and biking, then we sort of contradict the premise of school choice: that mobility is a good way to pursue educational equity,” Ehrman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Maddison said the biggest problem actually is not transportation. It is the vast disparities among San Francisco schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“School choice can never be a replacement for ensuring that all our schools are excellent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

I meet him there in East Oakland, a neighborhood that police say bears the brunt of the city’s robberies. Morris was recently robbed at gunpoint outside a check-cashing place. He didn’t want to use his real name for fear that speaking out would make him more of a target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody asked me, like, they see my watch, they was like, ‘What kind of watch is that?’ And then another guy came from around the corner, there they both just … ‘Give me everything’. Took my wallet, my watch, all the little stuff I had on me,” says Morris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it wasn’t the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know you feel like a sucker,” he shrugs, “stripped you for all [your] dignity, like, you don’t feel like a man no more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robbery — it’s one of the quintessential crimes that we fear when we think of strangers. Overall, robberies in Oakland were down substantially over the past year — by almost a \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/oak050910.pdf\">third\u003c/a>. That’s after they peaked at 4,838 in 2013, or more than 13 a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That year also registered as the city’s worst for the crime since at least \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/oak050833.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">1969\u003c/a>. Cops, criminologists and community leaders disagree about what is driving the ups and downs in the city’s crime rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gangs or Gentrification?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent says Oakland’s 50 or so gangs shifted the way they make money — from drugs to, in part, robberies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used to get significantly more drug hotline calls than we do now,” says Whent, “many more calls about street drug dealing. And that’s really reduced. And so what have those groups and gangs done? Well, we have seen the increase obviously in the street robberies and fraud crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent says police had some success curbing those robberies in 2014. He points to Ceasefire, the city’s chief anti-violence strategy. Its purpose is to reduce homicides, which fell 10 percent last year. But Whent says the heavy focus on certain gang members is turning the robbery rate around, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Youth Uprising Director Olis Simmons is skeptical of Whent’s view that gangs were responsible for the increase in robbery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big-time crime syndicates \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Drug-Kingpin-s-Sentencing-Ends-Bloody-Era-in-2946651.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went away\u003c/a> 20 years ago,” says Simmons, “What we see is acts of desperation. People are robbing their neighbors, their community members, out of hunger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and other Oakland community leaders say the surge in robberies was more like a canary in the coal mine. A sign that as Oakland enters its so-called renaissance, the economic gap is widening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While Oakland is realizing the dream of economic vitality — a renaissance right? — sadly, there is a concentration of people who are locked out,” says Simmons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she thinks for many years those people, largely in East and West Oakland, felt that as the city did better, their neighborhoods would also turn around; they’d get a job, maybe a store would open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realization that it’s never going to happen for (them) is what’s new,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons says the best way for Oakland to fight crime is by helping the community. That means helping kids like Morris, who says he empathizes with the people who stole from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just be the lack of having, like, because if a kid got everything he needs, he don’t need to be in no gang, he don’t need to be out here stealing. Why?” asks Morris, “‘Cause he got his own. But somebody else that ain’t got nothing to take. … ‘Hey, What I’m gonna lose? Go to jail?

I meet him there in East Oakland, a neighborhood that police say bears the brunt of the city’s robberies. Morris was recently robbed at gunpoint outside a check-cashing place. He didn’t want to use his real name for fear that speaking out would make him more of a target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Somebody asked me, like, they see my watch, they was like, ‘What kind of watch is that?’ And then another guy came from around the corner, there they both just … ‘Give me everything’. Took my wallet, my watch, all the little stuff I had on me,” says Morris.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says it wasn’t the first time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You know you feel like a sucker,” he shrugs, “stripped you for all [your] dignity, like, you don’t feel like a man no more.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Robbery — it’s one of the quintessential crimes that we fear when we think of strangers. Overall, robberies in Oakland were down substantially over the past year — by almost a \u003ca href=\"http://www2.oaklandnet.com/oakca1/groups/police/documents/webcontent/oak050910.pdf\">third\u003c/a>. That’s after they peaked at 4,838 in 2013, or more than 13 a day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Cops, criminologists and community leaders disagree about what is driving the ups and downs in the city’s crime rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gangs or Gentrification?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Police Chief Sean Whent says Oakland’s 50 or so gangs shifted the way they make money — from drugs to, in part, robberies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We used to get significantly more drug hotline calls than we do now,” says Whent, “many more calls about street drug dealing. And that’s really reduced. And so what have those groups and gangs done? Well, we have seen the increase obviously in the street robberies and fraud crimes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Whent says police had some success curbing those robberies in 2014. He points to Ceasefire, the city’s chief anti-violence strategy. Its purpose is to reduce homicides, which fell 10 percent last year. But Whent says the heavy focus on certain gang members is turning the robbery rate around, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Youth Uprising Director Olis Simmons is skeptical of Whent’s view that gangs were responsible for the increase in robbery.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Big-time crime syndicates \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/bayarea/article/Drug-Kingpin-s-Sentencing-Ends-Bloody-Era-in-2946651.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">went away\u003c/a> 20 years ago,” says Simmons, “What we see is acts of desperation. People are robbing their neighbors, their community members, out of hunger.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She and other Oakland community leaders say the surge in robberies was more like a canary in the coal mine. A sign that as Oakland enters its so-called renaissance, the economic gap is widening.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While Oakland is realizing the dream of economic vitality — a renaissance right? — sadly, there is a concentration of people who are locked out,” says Simmons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says she thinks for many years those people, largely in East and West Oakland, felt that as the city did better, their neighborhoods would also turn around; they’d get a job, maybe a store would open.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The realization that it’s never going to happen for (them) is what’s new,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simmons says the best way for Oakland to fight crime is by helping the community. That means helping kids like Morris, who says he empathizes with the people who stole from him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just be the lack of having, like, because if a kid got everything he needs, he don’t need to be in no gang, he don’t need to be out here stealing. Why?” asks Morris, “‘Cause he got his own. But somebody else that ain’t got nothing to take. … ‘Hey, What I’m gonna lose? Go to jail? I ain’t got nothing out here anyway.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A power relationship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But none of that reasoning convinces UC Berkeley crime expert Franklin Zimring.
