And in California, that’s become easier to do thanks to multiple college savings options and additional financial support provided by the government and non-profit organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But how effective is it to start saving early? And most importantly, for parents who have to carefully balance the family budget each year, is it worth setting aside a handful of dollars each month for such a far-off expense?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Keep reading for what you need to know about saving for college, or jump straight to:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#k2c\">San Francisco’s Kindergarten 2 College program\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#difference\">The differences between college savings accounts\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#state\">What the state can offer\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"#kids\">How to talk to kids about saving for college\u003c/a>\u003c/strong>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"k2c\">\u003c/a>One mom’s story\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Over a decade ago, San Francisco mom of four Aisha Brown sat down with her eldest daughter, Tierra, to talk about her college goals. Tierra was just in middle school at the time but she was already deeply motivated to get a degree.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hearing her daughter talk about her dreams with so much determination gave Brown a feeling of pride, but thinking about saving money to pay for college felt insurmountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I knew that it was going to be a struggle trying to put my kids in college,” said Brown, adding that even applying to college comes with a price tag — application fees, testing fees, visiting college campuses and other related costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as Brown started to do the math, she remembered that she had \u003ci>been \u003c/i>saving for Tierra’s college costs for several years already. When Tierra was in kindergarten, the city opened a savings account in her name and deposited $50, and Brown had also added money whenever she could. Tierra, now in her second year studying nursing at Grambling State University in Louisiana, was part of the founding class of Kindergarten 2 College (K2C), \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11952106/kindergarten-to-college-2023\">San Francisco’s universal college savings account program for kids enrolled in the city’s public schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked at the K2C account and I said to myself, ‘Well, that can help with [application costs],’” Brown explained. At that point, they had a little over $1,000. “That’s not tuition money, but it’s something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as Tierra grew and moved through high school, Brown kept saving and learned a few things along the way about how to make the most of what she was setting aside. For many families, even a few hundred dollars each month can make a big difference in household expenses. So if you’re planning on starting to save up for college for your little ones, here’s a few things to keep in mind to make the most of this hard-won investment in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The positive side effects of saving for college\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, researchers from the University of Michigan and Summitlab Corporation \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12004855/sf-narrowed-college-enrollment-gap-by-giving-kindergarteners-50-in-savings-study-finds\">presented the findings of a years-long study that tracked college enrollment data among San Francisco Unified School District students\u003c/a>. The study compares the college enrollment of students who graduated high school in 2023 — who were the first group to be part of K2C when the program began in 2011 — with those who graduated in 2022 and started kindergarten before K2C launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both groups, white and Asian students (identified in the study as “represented students”) enrolled in college at higher rates than Black, Latino, Filipino, Pacific Islander and Native students (“underrepresented students”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgov.org/k2c/media/420/download?attachment\">the gap between represented and underrepresented students was smaller in the class of 2023\u003c/a> — the first K2C group — than in the class of 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_12004855\" hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/06/RS65701_025_KQED_Kindergarten2College_05162023-qut-1020x680.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The gap between the represented and underrepresented groups narrowed by 30% relative to the gap in the comparison group,” said William Elliott, a professor at the University of Michigan’s School of Social Work and one of the authors of the study. Elliott has been studying CSA services for years and is familiar with the various positive impacts that these accounts have on students who come from lower-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having these accounts — and using them — can give kids and their families what Elliot describes as “tangible hope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tangible hope is when you have reasons in your world, in your environment, that make achieving your dream seem reasonable,” he said. “It’s not that you have all the money [for college] today, but rather the perception that you now have a strategy for how to pay for college.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s critical to also pair this feeling of tangible hope with concrete steps. As your child grows up and gets closer to college, make the times you deposit into their account also an opportunity to talk to them about preparing for college. These conversations don’t have to only be about having the money to pay for school, but can also encompass other ideas like grades, tests and information about specific universities or majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, having a college savings account (known as CSA) doesn’t mean you’ll automatically have the funds to go to college – but it gets you one step closer to figuring out some really big questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are giving families access to an institution that allows them to build wealth that’s coupled with a change in attitude and reflecting on what’s now achievable for them,” Elliot said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"difference\">\u003c/a>There are many types of college savings accounts. Know the differences\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all CSAs are the same. Some only serve families in specific cities or who have kids starting at a certain age. There are some options, like San Francisco’s K2C, that offer cash incentives when students take time to explore their account or learn more about personal finance. Others offer an experience that somewhat resembles having an investment portfolio, where families can see annual returns based on what they save.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, every student enrolled in the district’, regardless of their grade or academic performance, already has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11952106/kindergarten-to-college-2023\">a K2C account in their name with $50 deposited in it\u003c/a>, made possible by the Office of the City Treasurer. Parents don’t have to do anything to open up their child’s account – that’s done automatically for them.

When Tierra was in kindergarten, the city opened a savings account in her name and deposited $50, and Brown had also added money whenever she could. Tierra, now in her second year studying nursing at Grambling State University in Louisiana, was part of the founding class of Kindergarten 2 College (K2C), \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11952106/kindergarten-to-college-2023\">San Francisco’s universal college savings account program for kids enrolled in the city’s public schools\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I looked at the K2C account and I said to myself, ‘Well, that can help with [application costs],’” Brown explained. At that point, they had a little over $1,000. “That’s not tuition money, but it’s something.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And as Tierra grew and moved through high school, Brown kept saving and learned a few things along the way about how to make the most of what she was setting aside. For many families, even a few hundred dollars each month can make a big difference in household expenses. So if you’re planning on starting to save up for college for your little ones, here’s a few things to keep in mind to make the most of this hard-won investment in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The positive side effects of saving for college\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Earlier this month, researchers from the University of Michigan and Summitlab Corporation \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12004855/sf-narrowed-college-enrollment-gap-by-giving-kindergarteners-50-in-savings-study-finds\">presented the findings of a years-long study that tracked college enrollment data among San Francisco Unified School District students\u003c/a>. The study compares the college enrollment of students who graduated high school in 2023 — who were the first group to be part of K2C when the program began in 2011 — with those who graduated in 2022 and started kindergarten before K2C launched.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In both groups, white and Asian students (identified in the study as “represented students”) enrolled in college at higher rates than Black, Latino, Filipino, Pacific Islander and Native students (“underrepresented students”).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfgov.org/k2c/media/420/download?attachment\">the gap between represented and underrepresented students was smaller in the class of 2023\u003c/a> — the first K2C group — than in the class of 2022.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Elliott has been studying CSA services for years and is familiar with the various positive impacts that these accounts have on students who come from lower-income families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Having these accounts — and using them — can give kids and their families what Elliot describes as “tangible hope.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tangible hope is when you have reasons in your world, in your environment, that make achieving your dream seem reasonable,” he said. “It’s not that you have all the money [for college] today, but rather the perception that you now have a strategy for how to pay for college.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s critical to also pair this feeling of tangible hope with concrete steps. As your child grows up and gets closer to college, make the times you deposit into their account also an opportunity to talk to them about preparing for college. These conversations don’t have to only be about having the money to pay for school, but can also encompass other ideas like grades, tests and information about specific universities or majors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After all, having a college savings account (known as CSA) doesn’t mean you’ll automatically have the funds to go to college – but it gets you one step closer to figuring out some really big questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You are giving families access to an institution that allows them to build wealth that’s coupled with a change in attitude and reflecting on what’s now achievable for them,” Elliot said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"difference\">\u003c/a>There are many types of college savings accounts. Know the differences\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Not all CSAs are the same. Some only serve families in specific cities or who have kids starting at a certain age. There are some options, like San Francisco’s K2C, that offer cash incentives when students take time to explore their account or learn more about personal finance. Others offer an experience that somewhat resembles having an investment portfolio, where families can see annual returns based on what they save.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In San Francisco, every student enrolled in the district’, regardless of their grade or academic performance, already has \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11952106/kindergarten-to-college-2023\">a K2C account in their name with $50 deposited in it\u003c/a>, made possible by the Office of the City Treasurer. Parents don’t have to do anything to open up their child’s account – that’s done automatically for them. But if they want to contribute to the account, see the balance, or withdraw the savings when it’s time for college, they need to \u003ca href=\"https://sfgov.org/k2c/my-account/register-view-balance-online\">visit the K2C portal\u003c/a> and register their child’s information.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Nonprofit organizations that help Oakland families save for college\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The nonprofit Oakland Promise manages two similar programs: \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandpromise.org/resources/family-resources/\">Oakland Promise Kindergarten to College\u003c/a> helps open savings accounts for families in Oakland public schools and offers scholarships for students who graduate high school, and the \u003ca href=\"https://oaklandpromise.org/brilliant-baby/\">Brilliant Baby program\u003c/a>, opens college savings accounts with $500 already added, for families who recently had a baby and who qualify for Medi-Cal or food stamps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families in Oakland Promise’s Kindergarten to College program have two options: they can either open a college savings account with Self-Help Federal Credit Union at the West Oakland branch or open a \u003ca href=\"https://www.investopedia.com/terms/1/529plan.asp\">529 plan, a college savings plan\u003c/a> that in many cases offers annual returns to the account.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca id=\"state\">\u003c/a>California-based college savings programs\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Wherever you live in California, you can always open up a 529 account – even years before your child starts school, thanks to the state’s own 529 plan: \u003ca href=\"https://www.scholarshare529.com/\">ScholarShare 529\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Families can define their financial goals and set the length of time they want to save for.

Salti recalled the outbreak of the Lebanese Civil War in 1975, which began as a clash between Lebanese Christians and the Palestine Liberation Organization. Then, the U.S., Syria, Israel and Iran got involved in the 15-year conflict that displaced nearly 1 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Waves of Lebanese have left the country since. Many fled when Israel invaded and occupied southern Lebanon in 1982 and again in 2006 during the Israel-Hezbollah war.

Gavin Newsom’s funding plan for California schools violates the state’s constitution and could endanger school funding in years to come, according to a lawsuit filed Thursday in Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California School Boards Association, which filed the suit, has been \u003ca href=\"http://blog.csba.org/may-revise-announcement/\">outspoken in its opposition\u003c/a> to the plan since Newsom introduced his revised budget in May. The \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/california-budget-legislature/\">state already passed its budget,\u003c/a> and the lawsuit won’t affect the money that’s already been allotted to schools, but the association hopes a judge will strike down what they described as Newsom’s “funding maneuver.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, trying to preserve funding for schools amid a tight economic climate, made up an $8.8 billion shortfall in the Proposition 98 school funding guarantee by borrowing from the state’s general fund.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The manipulation … is unacceptable as it removes a funding safety net that has served schools for more than three decades and could be used by future governors and legislatures to avoid complying with the Proposition 98 funding guarantee,” association president Albert Gonzalez said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom’s office said the accounting move was not only legal but \u003ca href=\"https://dof.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/352/2024/07/Response-to-the-California-School-Boards-Association-Regarding-Prop-98-Certification-CC.pdf\">saved schools from potential budget cuts\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because general fund revenues were significantly lower than estimated … the recalculated minimum guarantee for fiscal year 2022–23 is roughly $8.8 billion less than previously calculated,” Joe Stephenshaw, the state’s director of finance, \u003ca href=\"https://dof.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/sites/352/2024/07/Response-to-the-California-School-Boards-Association-Regarding-Prop-98-Certification-CC.pdf\">wrote to legislative leaders\u003c/a> in July. “To help address this decrease in the minimum guarantee without impacting school district and community college district budgets,” the budget shifts some spending sources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"more education coverage\" tag=\"education\"]Proposition 98, passed nearly 40 years ago, sets a minimum funding guarantee for California’s public schools. Based on a complex set of formulas, the guarantee is roughly 40% of the state’s budget and pays for things such as teacher salaries and day-to-day operating expenses at the state’s 10,000 schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom has invested heavily in schools during his stint as governor, funneling billions to programs like community schools, improved school meals, student mental health and other initiatives. He’s said that these programs are especially important as students recover from the pandemic, academically as well as emotionally.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s per-pupil spending, which used to be among the nation’s lowest, is now \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/financing-californias-public-schools/#:~:text=In%202019%E2%80%9320%20(the%20most,nation%20(%2416%2C023%20per%20pupil).\">above average\u003c/a>, according to the Public Policy Institute of California.

California funds schools based on attendance, so fewer students in classrooms equals less revenue from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, schools are trying to find money to maintain programs that have proven successful, such as academic tutoring, after-school programs and summer school. They’re also grappling with teacher shortages in some subjects, and raising salaries to attract and retain staff.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Also at risk is the system’s efforts to improve graduation rates for Black students, a population Cal State \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2022/11/cal-poly-black-students/\">has struggled to serve\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A trustees committee approved a budget request to Gov. Gavin Newsom on Monday \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/past-meetings/2024/Documents/Sep-24-25-2024-FIN-binder.pdf#page=28\">that would largely avoid the projected deficit\u003c/a>; the full board is expected to approve it on Wednesday. In January, Newsom will debut his budget proposal for the next fiscal year. He and lawmakers will negotiate a final budget June of next year.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Why Cal State has a budget problem\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That one-two punch of potential cuts and funding delays was spelled out in the budget deal that the Legislature and Newsom finalized this summer. It could have been worse: Initially, Newsom wanted to apply \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2024/06/financial-aid-california-budget/\">cuts to Cal State this budget year\u003c/a> to address California’s multi-billion-dollar deficit. However, lawmakers \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/newsletter/california-budget-deal-winners-losers/\">pushed back to buy\u003c/a> the university another year to prepare for the cuts and possibly avoid them if the state’s revenue picture brightens. Steve Relyea, the top finance officer at Cal State, said system leaders should get credit for advocating for that reprieve.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Cal State officials are setting a foreboding tone, warning of “severe consequences for students, staff and faculty across all CSU universities” that “could lead to larger class sizes, reduced course offerings, diminished student services, layoffs and hiring freezes,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/past-meetings/2024/Documents/Sep-24-25-2024-FIN-binder.pdf#page=26\">the system’s 2025–26 budget proposal reads\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some campuses \u003ca href=\"https://kion546.com/news/2024/05/24/csu-monterey-bay-lays-off-16-personnel-following-4-million-deficit/\">have\u003c/a> already laid off workers this year or \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2024/budget-cuts-begin-to-surface-at-california-state-university/718699\">plan to\u003c/a>. Meghan O’Donnell, a lecturer at Cal State Monterey Bay and a senior officer in the systemwide faculty union, told CalMatters that the jobs of hundreds of lecturers have been totally slashed or reduced because campuses are cutting the overall number of classes they offer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lecturer job cuts have occurred at the campuses of Chico, East Bay, Humboldt, Los Angeles, Monterey Bay, San Bernardino, San Francisco and Sonoma. Lecturers have fewer job protections than faculty with tenure or who are on the tenure track.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union expects to see formal system data about faculty job loss and work reductions in November. O’Donnell said Cal State Monterey Bay put its faculty on layoff notice last year, but the union was able to negotiate and five faculty marked for layoffs instead got voluntary separation agreements. Meanwhile, in her academic department of humanities and communications, four tenured faculty at Monterey Bay took early retirement packages while three others quit and found university jobs outside the Cal State system.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meeting the state’s goals of enrolling a higher number of new students than past years is also at risk, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Enrollment growth is very challenging at a time when you’re not getting the resources,” Relyea said. “You can’t bring in additional students if you don’t bring in faculty to teach the students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Current budget problems\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Already, the system is working to close an \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/past-meetings/2024/Documents/July-22-24-2024-FIN.pdf#page=17\">operating deficit of $218 million this academic year\u003c/a>— even after new revenue this year from the tuition hikes and some extra state support. It’s a repeat of last year’s situation of ever-higher revenues but even higher expenses. \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2024/05/cal-state-budget/\">And like last academic year\u003c/a>, campuses \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/past-meetings/2024/Documents/July-22-24-2024-FIN.pdf#page=17\">are coping\u003c/a> by pulling from reserves, not filling vacancies and combining under-enrolled classes or outright cutting them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several trustees also noted that the system doesn’t adequately sell its story to lawmakers and the public about the impact the reductions have had on the system. “We’ve almost been too effective at making these cuts year over year over year,” said Diego Arambula, vice chair of the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A hiring freeze is a hiring freeze, and that does impact students if we’re not bringing someone into a role that we know is important,” he said. “It’s impacting our staff, who are taking on more to try and still meet the needs of the students who are here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, eight campuses are working with even less money because the system \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/education/higher-education/2023/01/college-enrollment-decline-csu-funding-penalty/\">began its plan of pulling some funding\u003c/a> from schools that are missing enrollment targets by at least 10%. Cal State leadership rerouted the money to nine schools with growing enrollments. Those eight campuses are down \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/about-the-csu/budget/Documents/fy-budget-coded-memos/B_2024-02_Final_Budget_Allocations_Attachments.pdf#page=2\">a combined $21 million this year\u003c/a> — with San Francisco State getting hit the hardest by losing $6 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Relyea said the campuses are facing the prospect of pulling money from academic services to afford to keep the lights on. “If you’re going to delay maintaining that electrical system, there’s a risk. Are you going to take that risk? How does that compare to the risk of not funding student counselors?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even campus presidents with enrollment growth say they’re struggling. San Jose State has cut $55 million from its budget the past two years, in part by not hiring new staff and avoiding replacing non-faculty job openings, its president, Cynthia Teniente-Matson, told the trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To raise revenue, the campus is enrolling 300 new non-resident students — who pay much more in tuition — in majors that aren’t over-enrolled, she said.[aside postID=\"news_11986301,news_11987878\" label=\"Related Stories\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State San Bernardino had an average operating budget of $266 million until last year. Now, it’s eyeing an average operating budget of $217 million if next year’s expected cuts come through. “No organization can survive with that level of budget cut,” the campus president, Tomás D. Morales, told the trustees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system’s reserves also aren’t enough to ride out a large multi-year deficit. Cal State campuses have a combined \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/past-meetings/2024/Documents/Sep-24-25-2024-FIN-binder.pdf#page=41\">$777 million in one-time funds saved for economic hardships\u003c/a> — enough to sustain operations for about a month.

The projected budget gap may prevent the system from enrolling new students, offering employee raises and spending more money to boost graduation rates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cal State’s Board of Trustees heard system senior finance staff \u003ca href=\"https://www.calstate.edu/csu-system/board-of-trustees/past-meetings/2024/Documents/Sep-24-25-2024-FIN-binder.pdf#page=26\">detail the grim fiscal outlook\u003c/a> on Tuesday at a public meeting.

It’s true everywhere, but I think particularly true in California, where homelessness is unabated, to say the least.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In preparation for the fiscal cliff, homeless liaisons — \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/liaisons-play-pivotal-role-in-connecting-california-homeless-children-to-services/667682\">school staff tasked with identifying and supporting students experiencing homelessness\u003c/a> — are ending some services for students that they’d begun offering during the pandemic, laying off staff, and braiding together other streams of funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Rising rates of child homelessness as the funding to address it decreases\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Homeless liaisons have long rung the alarm of rising child homelessness, and their concerns are not without merit. The rate of \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/amid-pockets-of-rising-student-homelessness-california-districts-tap-covid-funding-to-help-families/691737\">student homelessness in California rose by 9%\u003c/a> during the 2022–23 school year from the year prior. Child poverty in the state also increased in 2023 for the third year in a row and, at 19.2%, is now higher than its pre-pandemic rate of 18.6%, according to \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/updates/california-poverty-increases-for-third-year-in-a-row-surpassing-pre-pandemic-rates\">a recent analysis\u003c/a> published by the California Budget and Policy Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There was a significant dip in student homelessness rates at the peak of the pandemic, which was followed by a sharp increase once schools reopened. Experts attribute this dramatic shift to \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/california-launches-effort-to-count-all-homeless-students-quick-guide/665252\">the identification efforts by liaisons\u003c/a>. While some of the increase can be attributed to rising homelessness amid skyrocketing rent prices and inflation, it is also in part due to the staff hired with ARP-HCY funds whose jobs were to figure out which students were homeless and to connect them with resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liaisons have also resoundingly cited a critical issue: There is no dedicated, ongoing funding for their work, which they say impedes their ability to implement long-term programming, hire staff and build out preventive measures to help families avoid homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The money that we received is the money that we should be receiving on a regular basis to do the work that we need to do,” said Jennifer Kottke, the homeless liaison for the Los Angeles County Office of Education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are other streams of funding for students experiencing homelessness, but most are one-time funds, too limited to be distributed across all schools, or they are not set aside specifically for this population of students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, California’s funding formula for education requires that funds be set aside for high-needs students, which includes homeless students. But those dollars need to be distributed across all high-needs students, not only those experiencing homelessness. As such, the percentage of funds has long been disproportionate to the number of homeless children enrolled in schools statewide. And crucially, this funding requires first identifying students who are homeless — the very effort school staff said needs to first be funded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is also the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act’s Education for Homeless Children And Youth grant, but at $129 million nationwide, it is a fraction of the windfall the ARP-HCY provided.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, there was \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2024/homeless-youth-advocates-call-for-dedicated-state-funding-local-flexibility/707855\">a statewide push to include $13 million in the state budget\u003c/a> as dedicated funding for students experiencing homelessness. The amount was a match for the federal McKinney-Vento dollars California received in the pre-pandemic years, but the state Legislature failed to pass it.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>What did liaisons do with ARP-HCY funding?\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Liaisons are pointing to ARP-HCY dollars as an example of the possibilities for supporting students experiencing homelessness when they are given the opportunity to hire staff and expand their services for children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thing is that the work is intense, but the funding doesn’t match, so then you end up undercounting because you don’t have the time to do the proper identification process,” L.A. County’s Kottke said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With the influx of funds, Kottke hired someone to run a countywide free tutoring program for a year and a half that served about 600 students experiencing homelessness, a data analyst to navigate the complicated nature of homelessness data, and a community outreach specialist to distribute informational modules to other liaisons and share social media posts on homeless education resources. In the last school year alone, her office served at least 63,000 students and families experiencing homelessness, though they are still finalizing their numbers and expect that number to be higher.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"Related Stories\" postID=\"news_12005503,mindshift_64314,news_11999471\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her county office received just over $3 million in the first round of ARP-HCY distributions and about $253,000 in the second round — but these amounts include the funds for 78 districts and charters that Kottke contracted with as the head of her local consortium, which she and other county offices statewide had to create in order to distribute funds to any districts and charters that received less than $500,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/amid-pockets-of-rising-student-homelessness-california-districts-tap-covid-funding-to-help-families/691737\">motel vouchers in \u003c/a>Monterey County were paired with case management to guide families through the county’s housing assistance programs. The part-time staffer in charge of that was hired with ARP-HCY funds, which means that Donna Smith, the county’s homeless liaison, has had to eliminate the position.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The American Rescue Plan “was designed as a safety net to be able to help students still participate in school, still have access to the curriculum,” said Smith, whose county has \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/pockets-of-districts-across-california-show-increases-in-homeless-students-in-2022-23-school-year/691619\">some of the highest concentrations of student homelessness\u003c/a>. “It was really designed to keep them from failing in school because we know that school is very important no matter what you do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To highlight the importance of education, Smith also hired two people to run after-school programs for children at homeless shelters in the region. Every day, for two and a half years, children at the shelters were taught music and art, played sports, and went on field trips on the weekends. However, with the money drying up, the programs were shut down on June 30.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith’s county office received about $423,000 in the first round of allocations and just under $29,000 in the second round. As with Kottke, she was also the head of her local consortium and distributed portions of that funding to other districts and charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In total, Smith had to lay off seven part-time employees, and Kottke is laying off two this month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farther north, Meagan Meloy, Butte County’s liaison, began offering what she calls “the next tier of support for students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In her two decades doing this work, Meloy has focused on ensuring that students experiencing homelessness were enrolled and could get a ride to school. “That always felt like a Band-Aid approach versus the more comprehensive case management,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But with over $295,000 total in ARP-HCY funds, she was also able to support families with getting into housing, maintaining their housing, addressing their social-emotional needs, offering academic support, and distributing basic aid needs like food and clothing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It just puts more restrictions on prioritizing which students and families we’re going to serve first,” Meloy said, referring to the end of ARP-HCY funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the uses of the federal funds was the increase in identification efforts. A significant dip in student homelessness followed school closures at the height of the pandemic, which experts agree occurred because the identification of students experiencing homelessness relies on school staff being able to see and interact with children. That became much more difficult, at times impossible, via video.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If liaisons do not notice signs of potential homelessness, it is then up to the student and their families to self-identify. But, according to interviews with liaisons statewide, few children and families self-identify as homeless; they might feel ashamed, be fearful of their children being taken away from them, or might not consider themselves as being homeless.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Such challenges make identification of homelessness among students a key part of every homeless liaison’s job. Some schools, such as \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2023/amid-pockets-of-rising-student-homelessness-california-districts-tap-covid-funding-to-help-families/691737\">Santa Rita Union Elementary in \u003c/a>Monterey County, used their ARP-HCY money to hire staff who focused primarily on calling and visiting families they believed might be homeless. It’s a job that liaisons say requires significant investment in time, money and effort, as trust needs to be built with families.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’ll see even a bigger bump (in homelessness rates) for ’23–’24 because that’s when ARP was fully out, but if it goes down next year, it’s not going to be because ‘Oh, we’re solving homelessness,’” Duffield said. “It’s because there are fewer people knocking on doors and following up and asking questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2024/looming-end-of-historic-student-homelessness-funding-has-arrived/719222\">\u003cem>This story originally appeared in EdSource.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

These feeds are generated only by posts from people they follow in the order they were uploaded.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Social media companies will no longer have the right to addict our kids to their platforms, sending them harmful and sensational content that our kids don’t want and haven’t searched for,” Skinner said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The legislation follows Newsom’s signing of the \u003ca class=\"external\" href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billCompareClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2273&showamends=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Age-Appropriate Design Code Act\u003c/a> two years ago.

"content": "\u003cp>After an emergency weekend meeting, the San Francisco school board announced its embattled superintendent will stay on the job — with the support of a team sent in by the mayor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shortly after the Sunday closed-door conversation, prompted by concerns about impending school closures, a severe budget crisis and operational struggles, Mayor London Breed said she would deploy what she calls a School Stabilization Team to “provide critical expertise to help stabilize the City’s public schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It has been a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12000784/sf-teachers-students-face-uncertain-future-as-budget-crisis-threatens-closures\">rocky start to the year\u003c/a> for the San Francisco Unified School District. Just one week earlier, Superintendent Matt Wayne delayed the highly anticipated release of a list of campuses that will close or merge after this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12004831/anxious-waiting-game-drags-on-as-sfusd-delays-list-of-school-closures\">frustrating teachers and families\u003c/a> who have pressured school officials to provide some certainty on the plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s team will be led by Maria Su, the executive director of the Department of Children Youth and Their Families, and Phil Ginsburg, the general manager of the Recreation and Parks Department, who Breed said has experience “managing programs and support” for families and children, as well as with facility and logistical oversight and delivering balanced budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will be working as a partner with the school district,” Breed said during a press conference on Monday. “This is not a city takeover, this is a partnership — one in which the school district has embraced because they need help in order to get through this very challenging time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district is facing the threat of a state takeover if it cannot close a massive budget shortfall — projected to reach $148.5 million this school year — and \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12002125/as-san-francisco-school-closures-loom-frustrated-teachers-say-hiring-has-hit-a-wall\">hiring delays\u003c/a> left funded positions empty on the first day of class.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last week, the \u003cem>San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/sf-school-district-sfusd-19777653.php\">reported\u003c/a> that former Board President Lainie Motamedi, who stepped down \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12001593/sudden-shakeup-on-san-francisco-school-board-adds-another-challenge-for-district\">abruptly last month\u003c/a>, and current President Matt Alexander had revealed concerns about the superintendent’s ability to lead through the current challenges and overall district dysfunction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meredith Dodson, the executive director of the San Francisco Parent Coalition, said that while she was previously “aware of some challenges within the central office” and questions about the superintendent’s ability to lead, the weekend’s developments seemed unnecessarily chaotic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It wasn’t clear that there was an emergency issue that needed to get the superintendent out today, but that was clearly what they were trying to do by calling that emergency meeting in this way,” she said. “That’s still really confusing and frustrating to us because the last thing we need for this district right now is more chaos. What we really need is to instill confidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement from Wayne and Alexander late Sunday, Alexander said that the board is “committed to working” with Wayne and has outlined four priorities for him: balancing the budget, rehabilitating fiscal and operational systems, extending the school bond program, and “rightsizing SFUSD’s school portfolio with fewer but better schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I agree that these priorities are critical to our success, and I am ready to demonstrate effective leadership and make progress in these areas,” Wayne said in the joint statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Connie Chan, meanwhile, announced Friday that she plans to introduce a resolution at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting to call on the district to halt school closures — which Wayne \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfusd.edu/announcements/2024-09-19-message-superintendent-wayne-revised-timeline-school-closures-announcement\">said\u003c/a> are being considered to make up for under-enrollment, not to cut costs — until the budget is stabilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of schools recommended for closure, which Wayne pushed back to next month, is expected to go before the Board of Education in December, with the affected campuses shutting down at the end of the academic year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='san-francisco-unified-school-district']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chan joined the ranks of parents and community members calling on the school district to focus first on its budget crisis and facilities bond, which are both hurtling toward deadlines in the next few months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed’s team will focus on helping the board pass a balanced budget, address school site issues and support the school closure process, according to the mayor. When asked whether the closure list could be expected in October, she said she was unsure when it would be ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our School Stabilization Team, once they go in and they start working with the district, they’ll be able to find more clarity and let the school district know when they believe that particular announcement could potentially be made,” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor has also allotted $8.4 million in unallocated grant money to be used by the team for “emergency needs and emergent strategies to support the school community.” The money comes from the Student Success Fund, which was created in 2022 by Proposition G.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said that while the superintendent and Board of Education remain in control of city schools, her team “will be making a number of recommendations that we expect them to implement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with Su and Ginsburg, the team will also include a special advisor, Carl Cohn, who previously served as the superintendent of the Long Beach and San Diego school districts and as a commissioner on the state Board of Education, along with members from other city departments who will provide fiscal and communications expertise, and help navigate staffing analysis, payroll and family support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are walking into a very critical situation at the school district, and we want to bring our experts in the city to provide support to our school district,” Su said during the press conference on Monday, adding that the team had sent letters to Wayne and the board outlining how they plan to move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter shared with SFUSD families on Sunday, Breed said that while the schools are facing an “incredibly challenging moment,” they “will not fail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our children will continue to be served and supported by our public schools, and they will get the education they need to thrive. This City has always done what is necessary to give our children, families and educators the schools they deserve, and we will continue to do so,” the letter reads.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Just one week earlier, Superintendent Matt Wayne delayed the highly anticipated release of a list of campuses that will close or merge after this year, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12004831/anxious-waiting-game-drags-on-as-sfusd-delays-list-of-school-closures\">frustrating teachers and families\u003c/a> who have pressured school officials to provide some certainty on the plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor’s team will be led by Maria Su, the executive director of the Department of Children Youth and Their Families, and Phil Ginsburg, the general manager of the Recreation and Parks Department, who Breed said has experience “managing programs and support” for families and children, as well as with facility and logistical oversight and delivering balanced budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We will be working as a partner with the school district,” Breed said during a press conference on Monday. “This is not a city takeover, this is a partnership — one in which the school district has embraced because they need help in order to get through this very challenging time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

What we really need is to instill confidence.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a joint statement from Wayne and Alexander late Sunday, Alexander said that the board is “committed to working” with Wayne and has outlined four priorities for him: balancing the budget, rehabilitating fiscal and operational systems, extending the school bond program, and “rightsizing SFUSD’s school portfolio with fewer but better schools.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I agree that these priorities are critical to our success, and I am ready to demonstrate effective leadership and make progress in these areas,” Wayne said in the joint statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supervisor Connie Chan, meanwhile, announced Friday that she plans to introduce a resolution at Tuesday’s Board of Supervisors meeting to call on the district to halt school closures — which Wayne \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfusd.edu/announcements/2024-09-19-message-superintendent-wayne-revised-timeline-school-closures-announcement\">said\u003c/a> are being considered to make up for under-enrollment, not to cut costs — until the budget is stabilized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The list of schools recommended for closure, which Wayne pushed back to next month, is expected to go before the Board of Education in December, with the affected campuses shutting down at the end of the academic year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

When asked whether the closure list could be expected in October, she said she was unsure when it would be ready.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our School Stabilization Team, once they go in and they start working with the district, they’ll be able to find more clarity and let the school district know when they believe that particular announcement could potentially be made,” Breed said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayor has also allotted $8.4 million in unallocated grant money to be used by the team for “emergency needs and emergent strategies to support the school community.” The money comes from the Student Success Fund, which was created in 2022 by Proposition G.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breed said that while the superintendent and Board of Education remain in control of city schools, her team “will be making a number of recommendations that we expect them to implement.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Along with Su and Ginsburg, the team will also include a special advisor, Carl Cohn, who previously served as the superintendent of the Long Beach and San Diego school districts and as a commissioner on the state Board of Education, along with members from other city departments who will provide fiscal and communications expertise, and help navigate staffing analysis, payroll and family support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are walking into a very critical situation at the school district, and we want to bring our experts in the city to provide support to our school district,” Su said during the press conference on Monday, adding that the team had sent letters to Wayne and the board outlining how they plan to move forward.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a letter shared with SFUSD families on Sunday, Breed said that while the schools are facing an “incredibly challenging moment,” they “will not fail.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
