His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

"content": "\u003cp>On Friday, March 13, Neal Mckenzie was sitting in his office when he got word that Sonoma County schools would be shifting to online learning the next week, due to the coronavirus pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Okay so, what can I do? What is the most important thing?” he remembers thinking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mckenzie works for the Sonoma County Office of Education assisting 130 visually impaired students from kindergarten through high school. He realized one of the most important things he could do was to ensure he could still provide course materials to his students while sheltering in place, using special machines that print out braille materials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re talking about kids who really just need that braille and they need that tactile reference. There is really no stand-in for that,” Mckenzie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mckenzie began by moving the large machines needed to produce braille content into his compact car: embosser, inkjet printer, tactile image maker and 3D printer, plus cables and embosser feed paper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That first trip back to the office was crazy. I only had a 30 minute window to grab not only the machines but \u003cem>everything\u003c/em> to have this whole system run, produce and organize all these forms of tactile materials,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11820371\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11820371\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/1920_Neal-McKenzie_v2-800x433.jpg\" alt=\"With Sonoma County schools closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Neal Mckenzie set up braille printing machines in his garage to continue providing school materials to visually impaired students.\" width=\"800\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/1920_Neal-McKenzie_v2-800x433.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/1920_Neal-McKenzie_v2-160x87.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/1920_Neal-McKenzie_v2-1020x552.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2021/05/1920_Neal-McKenzie_v2-1920x1038.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">With Sonoma County schools closed due to the coronavirus pandemic, Neal Mckenzie set up braille printing machines in his garage to continue providing school materials to visually impaired students. \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Neal Mckenzie)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The machines are now set up in Mckenzie’s two-car garage, along the wall between his car and his laundry machines, effectively creating a make-shift tactile production center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are constantly fighting the clock so none of our students fall behind waiting on accessible materials, so they can have materials at the same time as their classmates,” he said. “It’s a constant struggle.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As an assistive technology specialist for the visually impaired, one of Mckenzie’s challenges was figuring out how to help sight-limited students adapt to virtual classroom technologies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Mario Chitwood, Quest Forward Academy student\"]“He drops off brailled math sheets that I need for school.

What were the holes? What were the things we need to work on? What are the things that are coming up?'” Mckenzie said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His first hurdle was making sure they could handle Zoom, the go-to tool for many teachers and students to meet in virtual classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Some of them were like, ‘Oh, in three days I’m having my first Zoom class,'” Mckenzie recalled. “And it’s not going to wait for them to know how to use it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mckenzie had to find a way to make Zoom meetings accessible to sight-limited students.

They’ve been relying on a friend to take them to the school district’s food distribution sites or other food pantries when possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Mitchell surveyed the students and their households — a total of about 700 people — she was stunned to learn that among the 90% of students who said they needed food support, nearly half hadn’t been able to get to an OUSD pickup site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s definitely a gap between the students who absolutely need food and the students who are getting to the Oakland sites,” Mitchell said. “It’s just not accessible for the families that seem to be some of the most vulnerable. They are going hungry for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Solis and her dad, another concern is rent — they couldn’t pay anything for May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From now on, the truth is we don’t know what we’re going to do,” Solis said. “We’re worried because the landlord is a little demanding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rudsdale teachers say many students are in similar situations. One English teacher recruited his father, a lawyer, to draft a letter students could use to explain their rights under the eviction moratorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am representing your tenants,” it reads in part. “This letter is intended to comply with the governor’s order that tenants unable to pay all or a portion of their rent inform the landlord of that situation within 7 days of the first of the month.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solis has a copy in hand, but she’s skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not sure he’s going to take it well,” she said of her landlord. “We’ll see what happens, because when he comes, he always wants to take some money with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has reason to doubt. Some students are still being threatened with eviction, according to Abraham Falk-Rood, the English teacher who enlisted his father’s help. In one case, a landlord tried throwing out a student’s belongings in the middle of the night, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817494\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11817494\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-800x629.jpg\" alt=\"Rudsdale English teacher Abraham Falk-Rood, math teacher Nick Johnson and history teacher Steven Moreno wearing their ties from a trip to Guatemala last summer.\" width=\"800\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-800x629.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-160x126.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-1020x802.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rudsdale High English teacher Abraham Falk-Rood, math teacher Nick Johnson and history teacher Steven Moreno wearing their ties from a trip to Guatemala last summer. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Emma Batten-Bowman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To support students like Solis, teachers and administrators have managed to raise around $43,000 through a combination of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rudsdale039s-immigrant-amp-unaccompanied-youth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GoFundMe campaign\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://stimuluspledge.org/schools-partners/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stimulus check pledge\u003c/a> and grant from the Rogers Family Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Rudsdale administrators have given out relief funds to about half the school’s students.

They’ve been relying on a friend to take them to the school district’s food distribution sites or other food pantries when possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When Mitchell surveyed the students and their households — a total of about 700 people — she was stunned to learn that among the 90% of students who said they needed food support, nearly half hadn’t been able to get to an OUSD pickup site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s definitely a gap between the students who absolutely need food and the students who are getting to the Oakland sites,” Mitchell said. “It’s just not accessible for the families that seem to be some of the most vulnerable. They are going hungry for sure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For Solis and her dad, another concern is rent — they couldn’t pay anything for May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“From now on, the truth is we don’t know what we’re going to do,” Solis said. “We’re worried because the landlord is a little demanding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rudsdale teachers say many students are in similar situations. One English teacher recruited his father, a lawyer, to draft a letter students could use to explain their rights under the eviction moratorium.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am representing your tenants,” it reads in part. “This letter is intended to comply with the governor’s order that tenants unable to pay all or a portion of their rent inform the landlord of that situation within 7 days of the first of the month.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Solis has a copy in hand, but she’s skeptical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m not sure he’s going to take it well,” she said of her landlord. “We’ll see what happens, because when he comes, he always wants to take some money with him.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She has reason to doubt. Some students are still being threatened with eviction, according to Abraham Falk-Rood, the English teacher who enlisted his father’s help. In one case, a landlord tried throwing out a student’s belongings in the middle of the night, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817494\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11817494\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-800x629.jpg\" alt=\"Rudsdale English teacher Abraham Falk-Rood, math teacher Nick Johnson and history teacher Steven Moreno wearing their ties from a trip to Guatemala last summer.\" width=\"800\" height=\"629\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-800x629.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-160x126.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174-1020x802.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/RS43134_IMG_20190916_144033-qut-e1589227625174.jpg 1440w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Rudsdale High English teacher Abraham Falk-Rood, math teacher Nick Johnson and history teacher Steven Moreno wearing their ties from a trip to Guatemala last summer. \u003ccite>(Courtesy Emma Batten-Bowman)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>To support students like Solis, teachers and administrators have managed to raise around $43,000 through a combination of a \u003ca href=\"https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-rudsdale039s-immigrant-amp-unaccompanied-youth\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">GoFundMe campaign\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://stimuluspledge.org/schools-partners/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">stimulus check pledge\u003c/a> and grant from the Rogers Family Foundation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, Rudsdale administrators have given out relief funds to about half the school’s students.

'[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The current California child care website has disappointed some parents and providers alike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really bad,” said San Francisco mom Maria Jandres. “That portal doesn’t give you any information. It doesn’t say where they are, how many spaces. For a new parent it has nothing. It leaves you more lost and with even more questions.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jandres said her 4-year-old son’s regular child care site closed in March, around the time her work as a realtor and court translator was coming to a slow stop. She stayed home with him for three weeks before signing up as a food delivery driver for various apps. She now juggles his care with her partner when he is not working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to figure out our child care because we don’t have anyone else,” she said. “Without child care neither my partner or I would be able to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, she said she is afraid to send her child to a provider she doesn’t already know, even if there are slots for essential workers. She’d rather ask around in her community for a personal recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes as no surprise to preschool owner Amanda Simoni, who went from having 54 kids every day to the 10 she is taking care of now at Heritage School of Discovery in Oakdale. She said she has laid off half of her staff and hopes to bring them back as soon as more kids return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simoni said California’s new child care website “came too late and it does not give enough information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She reached out to her local nonprofit child care agency after perusing the site and finding her phone number was wrong. It also included three complaints against her program, all of which were three or more years old and had been resolved, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11817603\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11817603\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/ChildcarePortal_screenshot-800x552.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"552\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/ChildcarePortal_screenshot-800x552.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/ChildcarePortal_screenshot-160x110.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/ChildcarePortal_screenshot-1020x703.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/05/ChildcarePortal_screenshot.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Screenshot of California’s child care portal.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Simoni said parents should have all the information, but it should be listed in a comprehensive way. As is, she said, the portal is “just not giving accurate information, it’s not giving parents the opportunity to make a good decision.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For parents seeking child care sites that are much smaller than Heritage School, and are operated out of a provider’s home, this portal is going to require some additional hoops.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag=\"resource\" label=\"coronavirus resources\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These so-called “small family homes,” where providers care for up to eight kids, are listed without the official name of the business, address or contact information. Department spokesman Murray said that the contact information is not listed for privacy reasons because these are individual homes. So in order to reach these providers, parents would have to call their local nonprofit referral agency that oversees child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those extra steps could thwart a connection between a family and a small child care provider.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They need to have as much of an advantage as anyone else,” Buthee said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Child care advocates hope to resolve all of these concerns with the new site.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, any searches will direct web traffic to the new site, Nzewi said. She said she expects the need to find child care to continue to grow into the summer, as some centers reduce enrollment to meet social distancing guidelines — or close altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s going to become even more important for parents and providers,” she said. “Parents will have to seek out new care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

She now juggles his care with her partner when he is not working.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have to figure out our child care because we don’t have anyone else,” she said. “Without child care neither my partner or I would be able to survive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the same time, she said she is afraid to send her child to a provider she doesn’t already know, even if there are slots for essential workers. She’d rather ask around in her community for a personal recommendation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This comes as no surprise to preschool owner Amanda Simoni, who went from having 54 kids every day to the 10 she is taking care of now at Heritage School of Discovery in Oakdale. She said she has laid off half of her staff and hopes to bring them back as soon as more kids return.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simoni said California’s new child care website “came too late and it does not give enough information.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She reached out to her local nonprofit child care agency after perusing the site and finding her phone number was wrong.
