"bio": "• I write and edit stories about how Silicon Valley power and policies shape everyday life in California. I’m also passionate about making Bay Area history and culture more accessible to a broad public. • I’ve been a journalist for most of my life, starting in high school with The Franklin Press in Los Angeles, where I grew up. While earning my first degree in English at UC Berkeley, I got my start in public radio at KALX-FM. After completing a second degree in journalism at Cal, I landed my first professional job at Marketplace, then moved on to KPCC (now LAist), and then KQED, where I hosted The California Report for more than seven years. • My reporting has appeared on NPR, The World, WBUR’s \u003ci>Here & Now\u003c/i>, and the BBC. I also guest host for KQED’s \u003ci>Forum\u003c/i>, as well as the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco. • I speak periodically on media, democracy and technology issues, and do voiceover work for documentaries and educational video projects. • Outside of the studio, you'll find me hiking Bay Area trails and whipping up Insta-ready meals in my kitchen. • I do not accept gifts, money, or favors from anyone connected to my reporting, I don't pay people for information, and I do not support or donate to political causes. • I strive to treat the people I report on with fairness, honesty, and respect. I also recognize there are often multiple sides to a story and work to verify information through multiple sources and documentation. If I get something wrong, I correct it.",

Sleep-deprived and eager to learn a new language, he left the North Carolina Piedmont for Taiwan in 2007 where he spent several years reporting on cross-Strait issues for NPR, the Financial Times, and Billboard Magazine. He also repeated low-intermediate Mandarin classes more times than he’d care to admit. After a few years in Asia, Thibault headed to France, where (fortunately) he already spoke the local language. He worked for the international broadcaster France24 as an expert guest and multimedia producer. Now happily married, Thibault is glad to find himself reporting for QUEST and Climate Watch, where he is finally putting his biology degree from Brown University to good use.",

In a September 2011 letter, the state geologist cited 34 issues that went unaddressed by Pacific Crest Engineering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Kleames, an geotechnical engineer for Pacific Crest Engineering, told Los Gatos board members last month it would cost millions more and require administrators to be \"jumping through the same hurdles\" to mitigate the latest concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials have \u003ca href=\"http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/education/ci_20391582/los-gatos-board-votes-suddenly-close-school\" target=\"_blank\">denied\u003c/a> being too strict and said they continue to work closely with the district. But cost concerns and school attorney warnings of possible lawsuits apparently weighed heavily on Los Gatos school officials. Trustees voted 5-0 to abandon the current Lexington Elementary campus. A final decision will be made at the May 15 board meeting, and student relocation could begin by August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, some parents and others in Los Gatos say they feel betrayed.

Community members were also told the school would be included in a $30 million bond. Despite the measure's successful passage in June 2010, Lexington Elementary parents are now seeing their hopes for a new school dashed, again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://losgatos.patch.com/articles/letter-help-us-save-lexington-school\" target=\"_blank\">a letter\u003c/a> to Los Gatos Patch titled \"Help us save Lexington School,\" one parent wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I deeply believe there is someone out there who can help our kids, the kids that have a love for their community, and the first-graders who cried together when they heard they are moving next year and asked so many questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is going to happen to my friends, what about our teachers, what about the trees, the nest of the bird on that big tree, what are they going to name us?

State geologists say private geologists and engineers often make errors assessing hazards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, when state experts catch technical mistakes or errant interpretations, some contractors are resistant to making changes\u003cstrong>.\u003c/strong> The financial burden for fixes and the resulting delays are frequently passed onto the school district, causing construction costs to skyrocket. School administrators usually end up paying the bill – regardless of who's at fault.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Construction estimates for Lexington have increased from $18 million to $21.5 million, in large part from spending close to $4 million on seismic-hazard investigations, school officials said. In a September 2011 letter, the state geologist cited 34 issues that went unaddressed by Pacific Crest Engineering.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mike Kleames, an geotechnical engineer for Pacific Crest Engineering, told Los Gatos board members last month it would cost millions more and require administrators to be \"jumping through the same hurdles\" to mitigate the latest concerns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials have \u003ca href=\"http://www.santacruzsentinel.com/education/ci_20391582/los-gatos-board-votes-suddenly-close-school\" target=\"_blank\">denied\u003c/a> being too strict and said they continue to work closely with the district. But cost concerns and school attorney warnings of possible lawsuits apparently weighed heavily on Los Gatos school officials. Trustees voted 5-0 to abandon the current Lexington Elementary campus. A final decision will be made at the May 15 board meeting, and student relocation could begin by August.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, some parents and others in Los Gatos say they feel betrayed. Local residents were promised \u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/los-gatos/ci_20464246/editorial-angry-lexington-parents-expected-at-board-meeting\" target=\"_blank\">school improvements\u003c/a> for Lexington Elementary when they supported a parcel tax increase in 2001, yet the funds were spent on four other schools. Community members were also told the school would be included in a $30 million bond. Despite the measure's successful passage in June 2010, Lexington Elementary parents are now seeing their hopes for a new school dashed, again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cdiv id=\"rpuCopySelection\">\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://losgatos.patch.com/articles/letter-help-us-save-lexington-school\" target=\"_blank\">a letter\u003c/a> to Los Gatos Patch titled \"Help us save Lexington School,\" one parent wrote:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\n\u003cp>I deeply believe there is someone out there who can help our kids, the kids that have a love for their community, and the first-graders who cried together when they heard they are moving next year and asked so many questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>What is going to happen to my friends, what about our teachers, what about the trees, the nest of the bird on that big tree, what are they going to name us?

We upped staffing in the attendance office and added an administrator, a dean of attendance. That increased staffing has led us to be looking at attendance data far more consistently and far more in-depth than we have in the past.

We didn’t go public with this until this week, but we addressed the security issue and reversed the changes that had been made very early on. So the positive irony in all this is that our staffing and emphasis on attendance looks like it’s going to yield a pretty notable gain in attendance for the year for Berkeley High. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>MUSIKER: Have you tightened your computer security? \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>SCUDERI: Yeah, I would say we’ve tightened a lot of things, and anytime you have an incident like this, whether it be around technical security or the physical security of the campus or school policy or instructions, we try to model what we expect our students to be, and that is continuous learners.
