Communities are really important when you’re trying to drive health. Communities have different values; they have different ways of approaching things like exercise, diet, healthy behaviors. And so, a lot of health is local. So having a local medical school that can serve that community and interact with that community is a positive.

What do you think of that criticism?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DESMOND-HELLMANN:\u003c/strong> Well, I'm a big fan of public dialogue.

I think the same is true with philanthropy. I am thrilled that Bill and Melinda Gates and Warren Buffett have decided to take their wealth and try and have all lives have equal value. I mean, that really resonates with me. I’m thrilled about that. Does that mean that no one should question or challenge the focus of the foundation? Or give input? Absolutely not.

After some back-and-forth on proposals this winter, the board is now expected to vote March 26 to approve \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/01/29/cooking-may-be-cut-in-berkeley-schools-edible-program/\" target=\"_blank\">very reduced funding for gardening classes only in the 2014-15 school year\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters – teachers, students and parents – pleaded with the school board at its March 12 meeting not to make further cuts to the cooking and gardening classes, which lost an annual $1.9 million in federal funding last fall. The program is already operating on less than half its former budget this year – about $850,000 — with bridge funds. Next year’s budget would be under $500,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This has been a very difficult process for all of us,” Superintendent Donald Evans said. “This is a nationally recognized program. But that was when we had $2 million. We can no longer retain that type of program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The cuts affect cooking and gardening classes at every school in the district, except King Middle School, where the garden is operated under separate funding by the non-profit Edible Schoolyard Project, founded by Alice Waters of Chez Panisse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During their long discussion, the board members appeared to agree that the current BUSD program needs to eliminate its cooking classes for now and offer limited gardening classes. The latest proposal called for gardening classes for pre-kindergarten through grade 7 (eliminating grades 8-12). However, board members said they’d also like to fund the garden at Berkeley Technical Academy (which is shared by the Independent Study students), and that will be added to the proposal the board is expected to pass Wednesday, March 26.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even at a reduced cost of $485,000 for the coming year, with only $178,000 requested in new funding, the board members were very concerned about whether the budget could accommodate the outlay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m struggling with this,” board member Karen Hemphill said. “We’re having a lot of things come to the board, piecemeal, that are all a priority, that all have their supporters. Nobody here doesn’t love this program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board will be committing to funding only one year right now. Board members recognized that a longer term financial commitment is probably better for attracting major donors. However, with changes in school funding this coming year (the new \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/fg/aa/lc/\" target=\"_blank\">Local Control Funding Formula\u003c/a> from the state), the district is still sorting out priorities for any new monies it gets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board members discussed allowing individual PTAs to raise funds supporting cooking classes in their own schools. Hemphill was initially opposed, saying it would create inequalities between the schools. But by the end of the discussion, the board members seemed to agree that if a principal signed off, they were fine with PTA-funded cooking classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another possibility for the future is involvement from the Edible Schoolyard Project which has offered to help run BUSD’s middle school cooking and gardening program once a blueprint for sustainability is in place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Board president Josh Daniels said he is hoping that \u003ca href=\"http://www.berkeleyside.com/2014/03/14/berkeley-likes-taxing-soda-but-support-for-parks-pools-lags/\" target=\"_blank\">a proposed city tax on sugar-sweetened beverages\u003c/a> (not just soda) for November’s election, will help fund the cooking and gardening program. The tax — which the City Council has not yet decided to put on the ballot — would bring in an estimated $1.5 million a year, say supporters. That’s less than the $2 million cost of the full cooking and gardening program, and it’s unlikely all the proceeds from the tax would go to the program. A further hurdle is that any funding for the cooking and gardening program would have to be re-approved annually by the city council, if, as expected, the tax is a general tax (which would only require a 50% vote to pass). A special tax, which would segregate the funds for specific uses, requires a two-thirds vote to pass.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Starting March 26 the board moves its meeting location to 2020 Bonar St. Meetings will no longer take place at 2134 Martin Luther King Jr. Way.

The test is meant to tap more sophisticated thinking and problem-solving skills than the familiar fill-in-the-bubble forms of old. Questions will gauge students' mastery of the Common Core Standards, the new national list of everything students should learn, adopted by California in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, alas for the No. 2 pencil, the exam will be done entirely on computers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's cause for some anxiety among teachers, students and tech support staff around the state. Do all schools even have the technological capacity to deliver a 3.5-hour computerized exam? The trial run, which will reach different schools at different times through early June, aims to answer that question.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'To take all that in as well as answer a sophisticated question is going to be a difficult task for them.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Small and rural school districts with weaker Internet service are girding for connectivity problems. The digitizing of the exam allows test-makers to include videos, interactive charts and graphics never seen in old-school tests, which modern students might appreciate. But that could further strain schools' capacity, even in urban settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then there's the simple matter of screen space. The San Francisco Unified School District, for one, has been buying iPads and Chromebooks, but there still may not be enough devices to go around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Burke, supervisor for achievement assessments at San Francisco Unified, said glitches are to be expected, and part of this field test will be \"dealing with some of the frustrations as people try to get in (to the test) and aren't successful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/141266378&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questions remain, too, about how the youngest students will fare with the new format. The test emphasizes writing and word problems, and thus relies heavily on keyboarding. Every California public school student in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11 will have to take it. Is it reasonable to expect that kids as young as 8 -- some of whom might be nimble text-messagers but not yet be stellar keyboarders -- will be able to shine?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot going on the screen at any given time, and certainly just their ability to take all that in, as well as answer a sophisticated question, is going to be a difficult task for them,\" Burke said. \"It's going to take a lot of concentration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, the scores won't count during this year's dry run. State education officials underscore that this field test is meant to iron out the technical kinks, gauge the accuracy and fairness of test questions, and give teachers and students some hands-on practice before the real test comes in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new test replaces the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) tests that have been an annual rite for California students for the past 15 years. The new one (prepare for acronym-induced dizziness) will be called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Got questions? The California Department of Education offers these informational videos (which may not have been field-tested as thoroughly as the exam itself) for the high school and middle school demographics:\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/DXXd451e580\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cdiv class=\"single-video\">\u003ciframe src=\"//www.youtube.com/embed/YKerb7NsDUE\" frameborder=\"0\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/div>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state's \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ta/tg/sa/smarterfieldtest.asp\">website\u003c/a> also provides practice tests for the practice test -- in case you want to be extra, extra prepared.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Questions will gauge students' mastery of the Common Core Standards, the new national list of everything students should learn, adopted by California in 2010.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And, alas for the No. 2 pencil, the exam will be done entirely on computers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's cause for some anxiety among teachers, students and tech support staff around the state. Do all schools even have the technological capacity to deliver a 3.5-hour computerized exam? The trial run, which will reach different schools at different times through early June, aims to answer that question.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">'To take all that in as well as answer a sophisticated question is going to be a difficult task for them.'\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Small and rural school districts with weaker Internet service are girding for connectivity problems. The digitizing of the exam allows test-makers to include videos, interactive charts and graphics never seen in old-school tests, which modern students might appreciate. But that could further strain schools' capacity, even in urban settings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The San Francisco Unified School District, for one, has been buying iPads and Chromebooks, but there still may not be enough devices to go around.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>John Burke, supervisor for achievement assessments at San Francisco Unified, said glitches are to be expected, and part of this field test will be \"dealing with some of the frustrations as people try to get in (to the test) and aren't successful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ciframe src=\"https://w.soundcloud.com/player/?url=https%3A//api.soundcloud.com/tracks/141266378&color=ff5500&auto_play=false&hide_related=false&show_artwork=true\" frameborder=\"no\" scrolling=\"no\" width=\"100%\" height=\"166\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Questions remain, too, about how the youngest students will fare with the new format. The test emphasizes writing and word problems, and thus relies heavily on keyboarding. Every California public school student in grades 3 through 8 and grade 11 will have to take it. Is it reasonable to expect that kids as young as 8 -- some of whom might be nimble text-messagers but not yet be stellar keyboarders -- will be able to shine?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a lot going on the screen at any given time, and certainly just their ability to take all that in, as well as answer a sophisticated question, is going to be a difficult task for them,\" Burke said. \"It's going to take a lot of concentration.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fortunately, the scores won't count during this year's dry run. State education officials underscore that this field test is meant to iron out the technical kinks, gauge the accuracy and fairness of test questions, and give teachers and students some hands-on practice before the real test comes in 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new test replaces the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) tests that have been an annual rite for California students for the past 15 years. The new one (prepare for acronym-induced dizziness) will be called the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress (CAASPP).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Got questions?

Torlakson said that the state will provide aid to local districts seeing declining enrollment because of the drought. While the state won't provide new money, it will provide the funding school districts would have received if students had not left. Torlakson said the California Department of Education will work with school districts and state senators to determine what districts experience an enrollment decline due to the drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The superintendent said the drought is affecting students and their families in other ways, too.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We're also seeing the social impact of this crisis where families are doubling up.

Democrats in the Senate have passed a drought relief package without those provisions but focusing on how to transfer water more efficiently among rights-holders and provide emergency relief to communities hurt by the drought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rep.

Jerry Brown urging them to act now to get more water to the valley. Regulations aimed at protecting endangered fish allowed 445,000 acre-feet of water from February rains to be lost into the ocean, the letter said. House Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy, who was among 13 to sign the letter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Given that communities in Central and Southern California are struggling to meet water needs and farmers are fallowing hundreds of thousands of acres of land that feed our state and country,\" the letter said, \"loss of this water is absolutely unacceptable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Could a new reservoir help?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the town of Maxwell, in the Sacramento Valley, Democratic Rep.

With a storage capacity of 1.9 million acre-feet, it would be about the same size as the San Luis Reservoir near Los Banos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal, which has been studied for years, is to wall off a remote valley just about halfway between Sacramento and Redding, and fill it with water from the Sacramento River when runoff is high. They hope construction can start next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, the bill would not guarantee federal funding for the reservoir, which the lawmakers say will cost between $2 billion and $3 billion, although they said federal money could be available later. Likely sources of money are local water districts that will benefit from the reservoir and a state bond that is being negotiated for the November ballot.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This post contains reporting from Sasha Khokha, Craig Miller and Mina Kim of KQED News, and the Associated Press.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

State lawmakers are considering \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SCA5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCA5, a proposed constitutional amendment\u003c/a> that would give voters a chance to repeal parts of \u003ca href=\"http://vote96.sos.ca.gov/bp/209.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition 209\u003c/a> and restore racial and gender preference in college admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1996, voters approved Prop. 209, which prohibits public institutions from granting preferential treatment to any group or individual in hiring, contracting and college admissions. Since then, admission offers to black students have dropped 49 percent at UC Berkeley and 16 percent at UCLA, two flagship campuses in the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, author of the proposed amendment, spoke with KQED “Newsroom” about why he is seeking to reinstate affirmative action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the master plan for the state of California, it clearly says that our institutions should reflect the diversity of the state. It is not doing that,” Hernandez said. “If we’re going to get prepared for the next century…we have to make sure we have a diverse population, but more importantly, a diverse workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hernandez has tried amending Prop. 209 before. When he tried changing the law at the state level, the bills were vetoed by Govs. Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year the overall UC system is roughly 36 percent Asian, 28 percent white, 28 percent Latino and 4 percent African-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>[contextly_sidebar id=”83ea01e64d93b336e60007fe53f0b1b6″]\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current proposal by Hernandez has drawn fierce criticism from opponents of affirmative action, and an online petition is circulating to defeat it. Some of the sharpest comments have come from Asian-Americans who fear that, despite getting good grades, Asian students will be denied spots at California’s top colleges to make room for students of other ethnicities.\u003cbr>\n“I think the petition they’re signing on to is based on a lot of misinformation,” said Hernandez. “We’ve been getting calls into our office that their kids won’t get in because now there’s going to be quota systems. That’s not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Personal View\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence. When I applied to UC Berkeley, well before the passage of Prop. 209, I was told by numerous people my Asian race would be a negative since Cal already had “enough Asians.” I was admitted anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> ‘This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence.’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I graduated, my race would once again be a focal point. I was applying for my first professional job, and my ethnicity made me eligible to apply for a “diversity fellowship” at KQED Radio for a one-year reporting stint. Nearly 100 people applied, and I was offered the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was nearly 20 years ago, when there were far fewer Asian-Americans in the media. It was, and still is, a profession that needs to be diverse to effectively serve an increasingly diverse population. My experiences illustrate the complexity of the debate over affirmative action. When does it work? When does it fail? How do we go about creating equal opportunity when the roots of inequality are deep and not necessarily color-blind?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate has already passed the constitutional amendment by Sen. Hernandez. Next steps include whether the Assembly will take it up and where voters stand if it gets to the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thuy Vu is the host of KQED “NEWSROOM,” a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

State lawmakers are considering \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201320140SCA5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">SCA5, a proposed constitutional amendment\u003c/a> that would give voters a chance to repeal parts of \u003ca href=\"http://vote96.sos.ca.gov/bp/209.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Proposition 209\u003c/a> and restore racial and gender preference in college admissions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 1996, voters approved Prop. 209, which prohibits public institutions from granting preferential treatment to any group or individual in hiring, contracting and college admissions. Since then, admission offers to black students have dropped 49 percent at UC Berkeley and 16 percent at UCLA, two flagship campuses in the UC system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Ed Hernandez, D-West Covina, author of the proposed amendment, spoke with KQED “Newsroom” about why he is seeking to reinstate affirmative action.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you look at the master plan for the state of California, it clearly says that our institutions should reflect the diversity of the state. It is not doing that,” Hernandez said. “If we’re going to get prepared for the next century…we have to make sure we have a diverse population, but more importantly, a diverse workforce.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When he tried changing the law at the state level, the bills were vetoed by Govs. Jerry Brown and Arnold Schwarzenegger.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year the overall UC system is roughly 36 percent Asian, 28 percent white, 28 percent Latino and 4 percent African-American.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current proposal by Hernandez has drawn fierce criticism from opponents of affirmative action, and an online petition is circulating to defeat it. Some of the sharpest comments have come from Asian-Americans who fear that, despite getting good grades, Asian students will be denied spots at California’s top colleges to make room for students of other ethnicities.\u003cbr>\n“I think the petition they’re signing on to is based on a lot of misinformation,” said Hernandez. “We’ve been getting calls into our office that their kids won’t get in because now there’s going to be quota systems. That’s not true.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>A Personal View\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence. When I applied to UC Berkeley, well before the passage of Prop. 209, I was told by numerous people my Asian race would be a negative since Cal already had “enough Asians.” I was admitted anyway.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\"> ‘This debate is especially interesting to me because I have personally experienced affirmative action on both sides of the fence.’ \u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>When I graduated, my race would once again be a focal point. I was applying for my first professional job, and my ethnicity made me eligible to apply for a “diversity fellowship” at KQED Radio for a one-year reporting stint. Nearly 100 people applied, and I was offered the job.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was nearly 20 years ago, when there were far fewer Asian-Americans in the media. It was, and still is, a profession that needs to be diverse to effectively serve an increasingly diverse population. My experiences illustrate the complexity of the debate over affirmative action. When does it work? When does it fail? How do we go about creating equal opportunity when the roots of inequality are deep and not necessarily color-blind?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Senate has already passed the constitutional amendment by Sen. Hernandez. Next steps include whether the Assembly will take it up and where voters stand if it gets to the ballot box.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Thuy Vu is the host of KQED “NEWSROOM,” a weekly news magazine program on television, radio and online.

(Alex Emslie/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>About 200 students and teachers with the \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveccsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Save CCSF Coalition\u003c/a> rallied yesterday afternoon at the school's main campus demanding the resignation of Special Trustee Robert Agrella, the reinstatement of City College's elected board of trustees, and an end to a new \u003ca href=\"https://www.ccsf.edu/NEW/en/student-services/admissions-and-registration/registration/billing-and-payment.html#paydead\" target=\"_blank\">payment policy\u003c/a> requiring class fees to be paid upfront, at the beginning of the semester. Agrella was made a special trustee with broad administrative powers after an \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/03/city-college-accreditation/\" target=\"_blank\">accreditation agency ruled\u003c/a> it would pull the school's accreditation.

I’m a dedicated participant in the fight to save City College.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/timeline-of-ccsfs-accreditation-woes/\" target=\"_blank\">-year battle\u003c/a> between City College and the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges has drawn charges of conflict of interest in the private regulatory body, a state audit of the commission and three lawsuits, including one brought by the city of San Francisco. An \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/02/122601/judge-blocks-closure-City-College-San-Francisco\" target=\"_blank\">injunction granted in that case\u003c/a> put the school's closure on hold indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But students and teachers with the Save CCSF Coalition say much of the damage is already done. The school \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccsf.edu/NEW/content/dam/Organizational_Assets/Department/Research_Planning_Grants/EnrollmentManagement/EnrollmentReport/DailyEnrollmentReportSP2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">shed more than 5,000 students\u003c/a> since last year. Chairs of diversity-related departments, like African American or LGBT studies, say their departments are under siege as programs are being cut. In addition, students who pay nonresident tuition, including noncitizen students, are angry about thousands of dollars in fees now being charged at the beginning of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, I was not able to register this semester,\" Itzel Calvo said at yesterday's rally. \"I pay out-of-state tuition because I'm undocumented, and so for me that's about $3,000 for only two classes.\" Calvo also said the school's payment plan requiring 20 percent down is also \"completely unaffordable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City College Chancellor Arthur Tyler said the college has an obligation to be stricter about collecting fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've instituted a payment plan to try to help students as much as we possibly can, but we've also got a fiscal crisis and I have a fiduciary responsibility to the state and to the taxpayers to ensure that we are collecting fees in a timely way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters gathered yesterday afternoon and listened to students and teachers decry the policy and other changes imposed by Agrella, who replaced the elected board of trustees last summer by order of state Community Colleges Chancellor Brice Harris. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Neighborhood Safety and Services Committee is considering a resolution today that would urge Harris to restore the elected Board of Trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"From my perspective the board should have been restored months ago,\" Supervisor David Campos said. \"I came here as an undocumented student, to the U.S., and I think education is not a privilege, it's a right. Part of that right is that you're allowed to have a reasonable way of paying for something as basic as education, and the fact that they're not giving these students that opportunity is actually shameful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violence erupted yesterday after the crowd tried to get into City College's main administration building at the Ocean campus in southern San Francisco.

He said many students cried and were very upset about the violent clash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it’s shocking that this administration would incite police on peaceful protesters,\" he said. \"The reason there was violence yesterday was there was a decision to bring in massive amounts of police and lock a public building. It shows that they’re scared, the fact that they had to use excessive force against students, that our two demands are widely shared and this administration is increasingly isolated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chancellor Tyler said campus police had a responsibility to lock down the building to ensure the safety of students and staff inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm never happy to see someone get hurt,\" he said. \"There is always a challenge when people are exercising their rights. The idea of civil discourse starts with being civil.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyler said the inside of the building, Conlan Hall, is not one of the three designated free-speech zones on campus. He didn't think coming down from his office to address the protesters would have diffused the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did have my staff down there talking to the crowd.

Ever since the democratically elected Board of Trustees were stripped of their powers students, faculty and staff have endured a series of destructive decisions and policies. One such policy the students are demanding be reversed is the aggressive payment policy that has forced many students out of school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Itzel Calvo, an undocumented student, is also quoted in the release explaining how the payment policy was hurtful to low-income and undocumented students. \"I was not able to enroll in classes this semester unless I paid thousands of dollars in tuition up front, even before the classes started.

She also reported seeing students being hit by batons and that officers, at one point, arrived on the scene in full riot gear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students, who have been inside the building for nearly an hour and a half now, are making posters with slogans on them and snacking on whatever food they have in their bags, said Garabato. There are no serious injuries among the group inside and they intend to stay there \"all night if we have to,\" she said, until their demands are met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rally at City College of San Francisco turned violent this afternoon when protesters attempted to enter the school's administration building, Conlan Hall, to present a petition to special trustee Robert Agrella calling for his resignation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to KQED reporter Alex Emslie, who was on campus covering the rally organized by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveccsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Save CCSF Coalition\u003c/a>, the event became chaotic around 1:30 p.m. when students and teachers tried to enter Conlan Hall. Campus police blocked the entrances to the building, said Emslie, forcing the 250 or so marchers to circle the building looking for an open door. Protesters eventually pushed aside San Francisco Community College Police Chief Andre Barnes and forced their way inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, said Emslie, \"it was a melee.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus police were promptly joined by officers from the San Francisco Police Department, who attempted to physically stop the protesters from entering the building. According to Emslie, batons were used to push back the crowd, and there was at least one detention of a student. Emslie said that while that student was being held on the ground in the process of being detained, he was hit by an officer, slamming his head into the concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AFT Local 2121 President and CCSF English teacher Alisa Messer also reported a student being pepper-sprayed and receiving medical attention. \"This has never happened at City College,\" said Messer of the physical altercation with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been no official word on the number of detainees or any charges that may be brought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a relative standoff has been reached, with about a dozen students inside the lobby of the administration building conducting a sit-in and the remainder of the protesters holding a sit-in outside the building. There are approximately 20 officers outside, monitoring the crowd, and about that many inside, said Emslie, but the administration has said it is going to release the SFPD officers and continue to oversee the scene with just CCSF officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor David Campos, who was scheduled to hold a symposium this evening on the CCSF accreditation issues, arrived after the incident and helped to negotiate with both Barnes and school officials. Campos has introduced a resolution calling for the restoration of the City College Board of Trustees and is holding a hearing on the issue at City Hall on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiated standoff will allow the students, both inside and outside, to continue their peaceful sit-ins, but no one else will be allowed to enter the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group was protesting the scope of powers of \u003ca title=\"Controversy Rages Over Possible Closure of City College of San Francisco\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/10/103173/\" target=\"_blank\">Agrella\u003c/a>, who was appointed after \u003ca title=\"Timeline: CCSF’s Fight to Retain Accreditation\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/timeline-of-ccsfs-accreditation-woes/\" target=\"_blank\">CCSF lost its accreditation last summer\u003c/a>. Last July, the California Community Colleges Board of Governors stripped the elected City College Board of Trustees of its powers after the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges announced that the school would have its accreditation revoked because of financial and governance issues. The board of governors replaced the trustees with Agrella, who has unilateral power over decisions on the school's rules and regulations. Many of the changes Agrella has made, particularly salary increases for administration and a student payment plan, have come under criticism by staff and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A separate rally had previously been planned for 4:15 p.m. today at City College's Chinatown campus, followed by a 5 p.m. forum on the school's master plan for the next five years.

I’m a dedicated participant in the fight to save City College.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/timeline-of-ccsfs-accreditation-woes/\" target=\"_blank\">-year battle\u003c/a> between City College and the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges has drawn charges of conflict of interest in the private regulatory body, a state audit of the commission and three lawsuits, including one brought by the city of San Francisco. An \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/02/122601/judge-blocks-closure-City-College-San-Francisco\" target=\"_blank\">injunction granted in that case\u003c/a> put the school's closure on hold indefinitely.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But students and teachers with the Save CCSF Coalition say much of the damage is already done. The school \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccsf.edu/NEW/content/dam/Organizational_Assets/Department/Research_Planning_Grants/EnrollmentManagement/EnrollmentReport/DailyEnrollmentReportSP2014.pdf\" target=\"_blank\">shed more than 5,000 students\u003c/a> since last year. Chairs of diversity-related departments, like African American or LGBT studies, say their departments are under siege as programs are being cut. In addition, students who pay nonresident tuition, including noncitizen students, are angry about thousands of dollars in fees now being charged at the beginning of the semester.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Unfortunately, I was not able to register this semester,\" Itzel Calvo said at yesterday's rally. \"I pay out-of-state tuition because I'm undocumented, and so for me that's about $3,000 for only two classes.\" Calvo also said the school's payment plan requiring 20 percent down is also \"completely unaffordable.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>City College Chancellor Arthur Tyler said the college has an obligation to be stricter about collecting fees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We've instituted a payment plan to try to help students as much as we possibly can, but we've also got a fiscal crisis and I have a fiduciary responsibility to the state and to the taxpayers to ensure that we are collecting fees in a timely way.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protesters gathered yesterday afternoon and listened to students and teachers decry the policy and other changes imposed by Agrella, who replaced the elected board of trustees last summer by order of state Community Colleges Chancellor Brice Harris. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors Neighborhood Safety and Services Committee is considering a resolution today that would urge Harris to restore the elected Board of Trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"From my perspective the board should have been restored months ago,\" Supervisor David Campos said. \"I came here as an undocumented student, to the U.S., and I think education is not a privilege, it's a right. Part of that right is that you're allowed to have a reasonable way of paying for something as basic as education, and the fact that they're not giving these students that opportunity is actually shameful.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Violence erupted yesterday after the crowd tried to get into City College's main administration building at the Ocean campus in southern San Francisco.

A melee ensued, and Peppinger was thrown to the ground face-down, with officers pulling his wrists behind his back to handcuff him. An SFPD officer punched Peppinger in the back of his head, bouncing his face off the concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He disputes that he assaulted any officers or resisted arrest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pippenger's first appearance in San Francisco Superior Court is scheduled for Wednesday, his mother said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pippenger, who said he's an intern with the AFT 2121, the local teacher's union, said he attended the rally for five points of extra credit for a labor studies class.

He said many students cried and were very upset about the violent clash.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think it’s shocking that this administration would incite police on peaceful protesters,\" he said. \"The reason there was violence yesterday was there was a decision to bring in massive amounts of police and lock a public building. It shows that they’re scared, the fact that they had to use excessive force against students, that our two demands are widely shared and this administration is increasingly isolated.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chancellor Tyler said campus police had a responsibility to lock down the building to ensure the safety of students and staff inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I'm never happy to see someone get hurt,\" he said. \"There is always a challenge when people are exercising their rights. The idea of civil discourse starts with being civil.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tyler said the inside of the building, Conlan Hall, is not one of the three designated free-speech zones on campus. He didn't think coming down from his office to address the protesters would have diffused the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I did have my staff down there talking to the crowd.

Ever since the democratically elected Board of Trustees were stripped of their powers students, faculty and staff have endured a series of destructive decisions and policies. One such policy the students are demanding be reversed is the aggressive payment policy that has forced many students out of school.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Itzel Calvo, an undocumented student, is also quoted in the release explaining how the payment policy was hurtful to low-income and undocumented students. \"I was not able to enroll in classes this semester unless I paid thousands of dollars in tuition up front, even before the classes started.

This has been difficult for low-income students and undocumented students, who typically don't have California residency and are considered out of state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haley Garabato, a San Francisco resident and student at CCSF, is one of about 18 students now inside the lobby of the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I pushed my way through,\" she said. She also reported seeing students being hit by batons and that officers, at one point, arrived on the scene in full riot gear.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students, who have been inside the building for nearly an hour and a half now, are making posters with slogans on them and snacking on whatever food they have in their bags, said Garabato. There are no serious injuries among the group inside and they intend to stay there \"all night if we have to,\" she said, until their demands are met.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Original story:\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A rally at City College of San Francisco turned violent this afternoon when protesters attempted to enter the school's administration building, Conlan Hall, to present a petition to special trustee Robert Agrella calling for his resignation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to KQED reporter Alex Emslie, who was on campus covering the rally organized by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.saveccsf.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Save CCSF Coalition\u003c/a>, the event became chaotic around 1:30 p.m. when students and teachers tried to enter Conlan Hall. Campus police blocked the entrances to the building, said Emslie, forcing the 250 or so marchers to circle the building looking for an open door. Protesters eventually pushed aside San Francisco Community College Police Chief Andre Barnes and forced their way inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At that point, said Emslie, \"it was a melee.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Campus police were promptly joined by officers from the San Francisco Police Department, who attempted to physically stop the protesters from entering the building. According to Emslie, batons were used to push back the crowd, and there was at least one detention of a student. Emslie said that while that student was being held on the ground in the process of being detained, he was hit by an officer, slamming his head into the concrete.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>AFT Local 2121 President and CCSF English teacher Alisa Messer also reported a student being pepper-sprayed and receiving medical attention. \"This has never happened at City College,\" said Messer of the physical altercation with police.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There has been no official word on the number of detainees or any charges that may be brought.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, a relative standoff has been reached, with about a dozen students inside the lobby of the administration building conducting a sit-in and the remainder of the protesters holding a sit-in outside the building. There are approximately 20 officers outside, monitoring the crowd, and about that many inside, said Emslie, but the administration has said it is going to release the SFPD officers and continue to oversee the scene with just CCSF officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco Supervisor David Campos, who was scheduled to hold a symposium this evening on the CCSF accreditation issues, arrived after the incident and helped to negotiate with both Barnes and school officials. Campos has introduced a resolution calling for the restoration of the City College Board of Trustees and is holding a hearing on the issue at City Hall on Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The negotiated standoff will allow the students, both inside and outside, to continue their peaceful sit-ins, but no one else will be allowed to enter the building.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The group was protesting the scope of powers of \u003ca title=\"Controversy Rages Over Possible Closure of City College of San Francisco\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2013/07/10/103173/\" target=\"_blank\">Agrella\u003c/a>, who was appointed after \u003ca title=\"Timeline: CCSF’s Fight to Retain Accreditation\" href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/01/10/timeline-of-ccsfs-accreditation-woes/\" target=\"_blank\">CCSF lost its accreditation last summer\u003c/a>. Last July, the California Community Colleges Board of Governors stripped the elected City College Board of Trustees of its powers after the Accrediting Commission for Community and Junior Colleges announced that the school would have its accreditation revoked because of financial and governance issues. The board of governors replaced the trustees with Agrella, who has unilateral power over decisions on the school's rules and regulations. Many of the changes Agrella has made, particularly salary increases for administration and a student payment plan, have come under criticism by staff and students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

But inside one correctional facility in Stockton, a private business lets kids actually rehearse for their futures and help victims along the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Casaglio introduces himself and some of his colleagues at Merit Partners, an environmentally certified electronic recycling business that’s located within the walls of the N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility. There’s floor leader Terrance Turner, upcoming floor leader Jordan Rutkes and IT tech Chandler Luce. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cables, wires, computers, laptops, computer chips, motherboards,” says Casaglio, as he reels off the types of electronic equipment they resell and recycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit Partners is the only operation of its kind in a California correctional facility. The incarcerated youth do most of the work; a small support staff trains them. The job pays $8 an hour and teaches valuable skills, Casaglio says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a far cry from his drug-dealing past. He spent his youth in and out of foster care; his own parents were addicts, he says. He smoked pot at age 9, used hard drugs at 11 and, at 15, held his gun to another dealer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And during the course of the robbery, somebody tried to prevent us from getting away, so I shot him five times,” says Casaglio, who has been at Chad five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The murder haunts him. “I took somebody’s grandparent away,” he says. “I took somebody’s husband, I took somebody’s dad, and there’s nothing I can do to repay or replace that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he is giving back. Twenty percent of the money he and his peers earn goes directly to victims. The youth contribute to a local victims fund every year, and also compensate the people harmed by their crimes by paying restitution fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compensation is mandatory, but 18-year-old Chandler Luce says he would donate some of his earnings to make up for his past, even if it were optional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You look in here, and this is a place full of people who caused harm to the world. And I was part of that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he rebelled against a strict upbringing that sometimes felt verbally abusive. One night he was at a wild party; police showed up and barged into a room where Luce was having sex with an underage girl. They were both drunk, he says, but he was drunker and he was charged with rape. He says counselors at Chad helped him get on the right track. They made him think about his actions in a whole new light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Was I using that alcohol as an excuse to take advantage of what I wanted, you know, and really it opened my eyes, you know?” he says. “A lot of people think, you know, what their crime did wasn’t really that bad, but once you go and you look at the reasons behind (why) you committed that crime, it was a mindset. You know, using the alcohol to get what I wanted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom Gammon worked for years as a consultant in Silicon Valley before retiring to run Merit Partners. The young men he hires go through an intensive interview and resume screening process. They’re the only kids in the facility who pay part of their room and board. One of the goals of the program is to teach them about budgeting. They even pay into a savings account so that they have some money when they get out of Chad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very humbling experience,” says Gammon. “These kids -- when you can hear them and see where they make a change in their life. How difficult that is. I mean a major deal. These kids, you hear some of their lives. It really just pains you. And you can’t go back and you can’t do anything and they’ve done wrong.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit doesn’t track individual employees after they leave the facility. But Gammon says the low recidivism rate, about 10 percent -- far below the historical 55 percent in juvenile justice -- is one indicator the program is working. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another positive sign: Employees like Terrance Turner want to go to college and be techies. Today Turner is cleaning up a computer for resale, a job that has nothing in common with his rough past, he says. His mother was an addict; his father was in and out of jail. Turner joined a gang so he could belong, and his life got worse. He was involved in the murder of a rival gang member, a 15-year-old boy. Initially he says he wanted a job with Merit only because it paid good money. But then he came to appreciate it on a different level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After awhile, you’re in here, you start to understand the value of a dollar, where our money goes,” he says. “And that is a strong thing that you learn here, about giving back to your victim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Merit employees gave about $8,000 to the San Joaquin County Victim Witness emergency fund. Program Coordinator Gabriela Jaurequi says the fund helps people like 38-year-old ranch hand Mario Dominguez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dominquez was hit head-on by a drunken driver who was trying to pass a semi truck. Today Dominguez sits in a hospital bed in a two-room apartment he shares with his wife and 18-month-old daughter, Julie. He lost a leg in the accident, his arm was broken, and his other leg was shattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One arm is in a brace. But with the other, he beckons for his daughter.

But inside one correctional facility in Stockton, a private business lets kids actually rehearse for their futures and help victims along the way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Casaglio introduces himself and some of his colleagues at Merit Partners, an environmentally certified electronic recycling business that’s located within the walls of the N.A. Chaderjian Youth Correctional Facility. There’s floor leader Terrance Turner, upcoming floor leader Jordan Rutkes and IT tech Chandler Luce. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Cables, wires, computers, laptops, computer chips, motherboards,” says Casaglio, as he reels off the types of electronic equipment they resell and recycle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit Partners is the only operation of its kind in a California correctional facility. The incarcerated youth do most of the work; a small support staff trains them. The job pays $8 an hour and teaches valuable skills, Casaglio says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a far cry from his drug-dealing past. He spent his youth in and out of foster care; his own parents were addicts, he says. He smoked pot at age 9, used hard drugs at 11 and, at 15, held his gun to another dealer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“And during the course of the robbery, somebody tried to prevent us from getting away, so I shot him five times,” says Casaglio, who has been at Chad five years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The murder haunts him. “I took somebody’s grandparent away,” he says. “I took somebody’s husband, I took somebody’s dad, and there’s nothing I can do to repay or replace that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But he is giving back. Twenty percent of the money he and his peers earn goes directly to victims. The youth contribute to a local victims fund every year, and also compensate the people harmed by their crimes by paying restitution fines.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The compensation is mandatory, but 18-year-old Chandler Luce says he would donate some of his earnings to make up for his past, even if it were optional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You look in here, and this is a place full of people who caused harm to the world. And I was part of that,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He says he rebelled against a strict upbringing that sometimes felt verbally abusive. One night he was at a wild party; police showed up and barged into a room where Luce was having sex with an underage girl. They were both drunk, he says, but he was drunker and he was charged with rape. He says counselors at Chad helped him get on the right track. They made him think about his actions in a whole new light.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Was I using that alcohol as an excuse to take advantage of what I wanted, you know, and really it opened my eyes, you know?” he says. “A lot of people think, you know, what their crime did wasn’t really that bad, but once you go and you look at the reasons behind (why) you committed that crime, it was a mindset. You know, using the alcohol to get what I wanted.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Tom Gammon worked for years as a consultant in Silicon Valley before retiring to run Merit Partners. The young men he hires go through an intensive interview and resume screening process. They’re the only kids in the facility who pay part of their room and board. One of the goals of the program is to teach them about budgeting. They even pay into a savings account so that they have some money when they get out of Chad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is a very humbling experience,” says Gammon. “These kids -- when you can hear them and see where they make a change in their life. How difficult that is. I mean a major deal. These kids, you hear some of their lives. It really just pains you. And you can’t go back and you can’t do anything and they’ve done wrong.” \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Merit doesn’t track individual employees after they leave the facility. But Gammon says the low recidivism rate, about 10 percent -- far below the historical 55 percent in juvenile justice -- is one indicator the program is working. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Another positive sign: Employees like Terrance Turner want to go to college and be techies. Today Turner is cleaning up a computer for resale, a job that has nothing in common with his rough past, he says. His mother was an addict; his father was in and out of jail. Turner joined a gang so he could belong, and his life got worse. He was involved in the murder of a rival gang member, a 15-year-old boy. Initially he says he wanted a job with Merit only because it paid good money. But then he came to appreciate it on a different level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“After awhile, you’re in here, you start to understand the value of a dollar, where our money goes,” he says. “And that is a strong thing that you learn here, about giving back to your victim.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2013, Merit employees gave about $8,000 to the San Joaquin County Victim Witness emergency fund. Program Coordinator Gabriela Jaurequi says the fund helps people like 38-year-old ranch hand Mario Dominguez.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dominquez was hit head-on by a drunken driver who was trying to pass a semi truck. Today Dominguez sits in a hospital bed in a two-room apartment he shares with his wife and 18-month-old daughter, Julie. He lost a leg in the accident, his arm was broken, and his other leg was shattered.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One arm is in a brace. But with the other, he beckons for his daughter. Jaurequi says the emergency fund helped him with the $60 transportation cost for each doctor’s appointment before he was signed up with a ride service. The fund can be a lifesaver, Jaurequi says -- something she’s told the youth at Merit. In fact, she’s visited these kids several times and believes they are sincere about their desire to change.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sometimes meeting them, in my mind it’s hard to connect what they’ve done and who this person is that I meet,” she says. “It just doesn’t seem possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
