One recent law, the “sit-lie” ordinance, made it illegal to sit or lie down on city sidewalks. Some homeless people say this law takes away their right to dwell freely — essentially the right to be alive. How does one build a place of one’s own in a city where other opportunities are not available? We all have the need to create a sense of home, even in extreme circumstances. In these photos, the lines between public and private, urban and domestic, blur.

One recent law, the “sit-lie” ordinance, made it illegal to sit or lie down on city sidewalks. Some homeless people say this law takes away their right to dwell freely — essentially the right to be alive. How does one build a place of one’s own in a city where other opportunities are not available? We all have the need to create a sense of home, even in extreme circumstances. In these photos, the lines between public and private, urban and domestic, blur. They reveal the architecture of homelessness, and contribute to the understanding of a displaced people who make their own spaces.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Its percentage of seventh-graders meeting or exceeding state standards in math jumped 67 percent during the same period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, just 46 percent of third-graders met the reading target, and half of seventh-graders met or exceeded the math standards. On both measures, Latino and African American children performed worse than their white and Asian peers – disparities that persisted in many of the report’s indicators of well-being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rates were even lower in low-income rural counties, with the exception of Shasta, where 47 percent of third-graders read at grade level. In Mendocino County, for example, 27 percent of third-graders read at grade level. By comparison, 69 percent of third-grade children in Marin County read at grade level – the highest rate in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two measures – reading in third grade and math in seventh grade – are important markers that might indicate whether a child is likely to fall behind later, Mindnich said. Student-level data show that 76 percent of high school seniors graduated on time in 2010-11, a 1 percent increase from the year prior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the report’s 28 indicators showed that children living in low-income rural counties are faring the worst, in spite of making substantial gains in recent years. The trend underscores greater need, fewer resources and less access to services in rural communities, Mindnich said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children’s well-being varied in Bay Area counties, all considered high-income urban areas in the report. In Marin County, for example, children’s well-being ranked in the top third of the state in 21 indicators. The county ranked first in the state in several measures, including preschool attendance (73 percent). Children in Solano County, on the other hand, ranked in the top third in five indicators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, academic performance is not the only factor in a child’s well-being, she said. The report also looked at children’s physical and emotional health – as measured by indicators such as healthy weight, health insurance coverage and risk for depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just what happens in the classroom,” Mindnich said. “We also need to think of what’s the environment we’re creating for children when they are at school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statewide \u003ca href=\"http://chks.wested.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey\u003c/a> that gauges how engaged children feel with their schools, for example, 44 percent of students said they felt connected to their schools in the 2009-11 cycle. That’s up 47 percent from six years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the improvement was substantial, “it’s still very low,” Mindnich said. “These are things we have to start thinking about more broadly if we want to see big jumps in our graduation rates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mindnich said she expects to see some improvement in children’s well-being in the coming years.

But they also highlighted 12 areas in which the state has made little or no progress, such as the rate of high school seniors who graduate on time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California is on the right track,” said Jessica Mindnich, associate director of research at Children Now. “You are seeing some of the effects where the state has decided to prioritize.”\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the percentage of third-graders who read at grade level, for example, California improved 39 percent between the 2002-03 and 2010-11 school years. Its percentage of seventh-graders meeting or exceeding state standards in math jumped 67 percent during the same period.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

On both measures, Latino and African American children performed worse than their white and Asian peers – disparities that persisted in many of the report’s indicators of well-being.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The rates were even lower in low-income rural counties, with the exception of Shasta, where 47 percent of third-graders read at grade level. In Mendocino County, for example, 27 percent of third-graders read at grade level. By comparison, 69 percent of third-grade children in Marin County read at grade level – the highest rate in the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two measures – reading in third grade and math in seventh grade – are important markers that might indicate whether a child is likely to fall behind later, Mindnich said. Student-level data show that 76 percent of high school seniors graduated on time in 2010-11, a 1 percent increase from the year prior.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the report’s 28 indicators showed that children living in low-income rural counties are faring the worst, in spite of making substantial gains in recent years. The trend underscores greater need, fewer resources and less access to services in rural communities, Mindnich said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Children’s well-being varied in Bay Area counties, all considered high-income urban areas in the report. In Marin County, for example, children’s well-being ranked in the top third of the state in 21 indicators. The county ranked first in the state in several measures, including preschool attendance (73 percent). Children in Solano County, on the other hand, ranked in the top third in five indicators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, academic performance is not the only factor in a child’s well-being, she said. The report also looked at children’s physical and emotional health – as measured by indicators such as healthy weight, health insurance coverage and risk for depression.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not just what happens in the classroom,” Mindnich said. “We also need to think of what’s the environment we’re creating for children when they are at school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statewide \u003ca href=\"http://chks.wested.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">survey\u003c/a> that gauges how engaged children feel with their schools, for example, 44 percent of students said they felt connected to their schools in the 2009-11 cycle. That’s up 47 percent from six years earlier.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While the improvement was substantial, “it’s still very low,” Mindnich said. “These are things we have to start thinking about more broadly if we want to see big jumps in our graduation rates.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mindnich said she expects to see some improvement in children’s well-being in the coming years. She noted \u003ca href=\"http://www.edsource.org/today/2012/three-up-one-down-for-student-discipline-reforms/20428#.UHPNqaMj5ng\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">several bills\u003c/a> to reform student discipline that Gov. Jerry Brown signed into law recently that could lead to improvements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re starting to pay more attention to school climate, to those intangible things that influence a child’s academic achievement,” she said. “I think it will be slow progress.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It replaced a regulatory agency that was disbanded in 2007 because lawmakers deemed it ineffective. State regulators said budget cuts and hiring freezes had prevented the current bureau from holding more schools accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Block said the new law improves protections for the 400,000 vocational students in California, many of whom are from low-income backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At these schools, students are often spending $40,000 or more,” said Block, who is chairman of the Assembly Higher Education Committee. “They are often doing so without sufficient information, and this will give them the information they need to make a smart consumer choice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most notably, graduates of unaccredited institutions face limited job prospects. They are barred from many civil service jobs in states such as California, Michigan and Oregon, as well as most jobs requiring professional licenses and teaching certificates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite past problems, bureau officials say they are prepared to enforce the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most of it will be on the schools to comply,” said Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the state Department of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. “If schools don’t follow the law, it will be on the bureau to take enforcement actions. It is not like it is creating additional work for us, except that we will be checking to make sure the schools are making their additional disclosures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following The Bay Citizen's series, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/education/story/regulators-investigate-institute-medical/\" target=\"_blank\">state shut down a medical school\u003c/a> that made false claims about its accreditation status and \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/more-75-vocational-schools-under-investigation-16462\" target=\"_blank\">regulators pledged to investigate 77 schools\u003c/a> operating without state approval.

In addition, the agency \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/education/story/vocational-schools-complaints-mount-lags/\" target=\"_blank\">did not investigate some complaints against schools\u003c/a> or \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/education/story/california-leads-nation-unaccredited/\" target=\"_blank\">shut down illegal diploma mills\u003c/a> – schools that offer dubious degrees for little coursework and that lack accreditation by a recognized government agency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The bureau was launched in January 2010 to strengthen protections for students attending private vocational schools. It replaced a regulatory agency that was disbanded in 2007 because lawmakers deemed it ineffective. State regulators said budget cuts and hiring freezes had prevented the current bureau from holding more schools accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Block said the new law improves protections for the 400,000 vocational students in California, many of whom are from low-income backgrounds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“At these schools, students are often spending $40,000 or more,” said Block, who is chairman of the Assembly Higher Education Committee. “They are often doing so without sufficient information, and this will give them the information they need to make a smart consumer choice.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most notably, graduates of unaccredited institutions face limited job prospects. They are barred from many civil service jobs in states such as California, Michigan and Oregon, as well as most jobs requiring professional licenses and teaching certificates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite past problems, bureau officials say they are prepared to enforce the law.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Most of it will be on the schools to comply,” said Russ Heimerich, a spokesman for the state Department of Consumer Affairs, which oversees the California Bureau for Private Postsecondary Education. “If schools don’t follow the law, it will be on the bureau to take enforcement actions. It is not like it is creating additional work for us, except that we will be checking to make sure the schools are making their additional disclosures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following The Bay Citizen's series, the \u003ca href=\"http://www.baycitizen.org/education/story/regulators-investigate-institute-medical/\" target=\"_blank\">state shut down a medical school\u003c/a> that made false claims about its accreditation status and \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/dailyreport/more-75-vocational-schools-under-investigation-16462\" target=\"_blank\">regulators pledged to investigate 77 schools\u003c/a> operating without state approval.

Boeddeker is the only one open to everyone; the other two, Sgt. John Macaulay Park and Tenderloin Recreation Center Park, are just for children and the adults who accompany them. Those playgrounds scored a \"B\" and a \"C\" respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The playground structure at Boeddeker has not been renovated since the 1980s, but the park is poised for a major renovation this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spearheaded by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tpl.org\">Trust for Public Land\u003c/a>, the $8 million project will give Boeddeker a new basketball and volleyball court, a tai chi patio, a walking path, a lawn, a stage, a spacious clubhouse and a play area. The old play structure will be demolished, along with the imposing black fences that wall off different sections of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be a new park,” said Betty Traynor, coordinator of \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/site/friendsofboeddekerpark\">Friends of Boeddeker Park\u003c/a>, a local group that is involved in the plans to transform Boeddeker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction is due to begin at the end of October or beginning of November; the park will be closed for 13 to 16 months. During the renovation, San Francisco City Academy students will have recess at Tenderloin Recreation Center Park a few blocks away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan for Boeddeker calls for a much more open design, including eliminating the fences that divide the park. The fences were intended to keep park-goers safe, but they instead limit visibility, which once helped make it a haven for drug users and prostitutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police, for one, welcome the new plan. “It will have great view corridors so we can see through there,” said Capt.

The bond would fund capital improvements in parks, not operational expenses, such as staffing. But the renovation of Boeddeker won’t require any of that money, since it has already been raised from state and private sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new playground at Boeddeker will include a big climbing net, swings and giant egg sculptures for small children to climb on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important for the children to understand that they’re worth this neighborhood building a park for them and that they deserve to have the best park in the city,” said Dina Hilliard, executive director of the North of Market/Tenderloin Community Benefit District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Others on the list include Stern Grove, Lafayette Park and Golden Gate Heights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For the children from San Francisco City Academy, the only thing worse than playing on the dilapidated structure is not getting any recess at all, an event that occurs almost weekly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Boeddeker Park is supposed to be open weekdays from noon to 3 p.m. But even with such limited hours, Brakey said the gates remain locked as often as once a week because no one comes to open them. The park is operated by San Francisco Recreation and Park Department.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If someone doesn’t show up, the kids don’t get any recess,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2010 U.S. Census reported that 2,749 children live in the Tenderloin, which is roughly bounded by Market Street, Post Street and Van Ness Avenue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tenderloin has just three small parks. Boeddeker is the only one open to everyone; the other two, Sgt. John Macaulay Park and Tenderloin Recreation Center Park, are just for children and the adults who accompany them. Those playgrounds scored a \"B\" and a \"C\" respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The playground structure at Boeddeker has not been renovated since the 1980s, but the park is poised for a major renovation this fall.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Spearheaded by the \u003ca href=\"http://www.tpl.org\">Trust for Public Land\u003c/a>, the $8 million project will give Boeddeker a new basketball and volleyball court, a tai chi patio, a walking path, a lawn, a stage, a spacious clubhouse and a play area. The old play structure will be demolished, along with the imposing black fences that wall off different sections of the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to be a new park,” said Betty Traynor, coordinator of \u003ca href=\"https://sites.google.com/site/friendsofboeddekerpark\">Friends of Boeddeker Park\u003c/a>, a local group that is involved in the plans to transform Boeddeker.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction is due to begin at the end of October or beginning of November; the park will be closed for 13 to 16 months. During the renovation, San Francisco City Academy students will have recess at Tenderloin Recreation Center Park a few blocks away.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The plan for Boeddeker calls for a much more open design, including eliminating the fences that divide the park. The fences were intended to keep park-goers safe, but they instead limit visibility, which once helped make it a haven for drug users and prostitutes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The police, for one, welcome the new plan. “It will have great view corridors so we can see through there,” said Capt. Joe Garrity of the Tenderloin Station, which sits diagonally across the street from the park.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state will provide more than \u003ca href=\"http://www.tpl.org/publications/land-and-people-magazine/archive/landpeople-fallwinter-2011/parks-reborn.html\">$4.5 million for the renovation\u003c/a>. Private donors, such as Banana Republic and Levi Strauss Foundation, have also contributed to the effort.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the renovation, the park department has pledged to expand the park’s hours and keep Boeddeker open from dawn to dusk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Traynor said Friends of Boeddeker Park is hoping to mobilize volunteers from neighborhood community groups to serve as “eyes on the park.” Community groups plan to keep the renovated park bustling with activities, such as tai chi and after-school programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://sfrecpark.org/bondoutreach.aspx\">$195 million park bond\u003c/a> on the ballot this November in San Francisco includes $15.5 million for the renovation of the city’s failing playgrounds, such as those dinged in the recent Playground Report Card. The bond would fund capital improvements in parks, not operational expenses, such as staffing. But the renovation of Boeddeker won’t require any of that money, since it has already been raised from state and private sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new playground at Boeddeker will include a big climbing net, swings and giant egg sculptures for small children to climb on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s important for the children to understand that they’re worth this neighborhood building a park for them and that they deserve to have the best park in the city,” said Dina Hilliard, executive director of the North of Market/Tenderloin Community Benefit District.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was produced by The Bay Citizen, a project of the Center for Investigative Reporting.

Under the bill, independent experts would have proposed improvements for the Division of the State Architect, which regulates school construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\u003cstrong>Despite early support, the bill stalled in committee, failed to get out of the 'suspense file'\u003c/strong>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>The Legislature went home without approving the measure, written by Senate Majority Leader Ellen Corbett.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We did all we could do,\" Corbett said, \"and we will continue to monitor (the state architect's office) to make sure it is fulfilling its mission to protect California’s schoolchildren and certify the seismic safety of new school buildings in a timely fashion.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School districts pay the state architect to approve school building plans, monitor construction in the field and then certify the work has met strict quality control standards. Such certification is mandatory under state law, to ensure the structures can withstand an earthquake's violent shaking.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>An investigation by The Bay Citizen's sister site \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org\">California Watch\u003c/a> last year found the office routinely allowed children and teachers to occupy buildings with structural flaws and potential safety hazards reported during construction. More than 16,000 school projects across the state lack the required certification, with roughly 42,000 students in buildings with \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/k-12/thousands-students-attending-schools-unresolved-safety-issues-14142\" target=\"_blank\">unresolved safety issues\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California State Auditor's Office has concluded that the office's oversight flaws had increased the safety risk to schools. One report slammed the agency's enforcement of building standards, calling its supervision neither comprehensive nor effective\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their defense, officials in the state architect's office blamed the seismic safety law itself, which they argue doesn't give them the authority to stop children and teachers from entering unsafe structures. The state auditor's report urged the state architect to push for legal changes to prevent occupancy of unsafe schools, and SB 1271 would have asked experts to recommend ways to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year the state Senate approved SB 1271, which had garnered broad support from the school construction community.

More than 16,000 school projects across the state lack the required certification, with roughly 42,000 students in buildings with \u003ca href=\"http://californiawatch.org/k-12/thousands-students-attending-schools-unresolved-safety-issues-14142\" target=\"_blank\">unresolved safety issues\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California State Auditor's Office has concluded that the office's oversight flaws had increased the safety risk to schools.
