"content": "\u003cp>In his final year in office, California Gov. Jerry Brown today released a $190 billion \u003ca href=\"http://ebudget.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state budget\u003c/a>, nearly 4 percent more than last year’s spending plan, but restrained in its new initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Brown’s plan, the state’s general fund grows to $131.7 billion, up about $6 billion from last year. The rest of the revenue comes from special funds and bond money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The famously frugal governor noted a “healthy one-time surplus” in his budget, but warns that the state “faces uncertain times, including the ramification of the recently enacted federal tax bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The key to this budget is that California has a very volatile tax system,” Brown said. “It means that money comes in very generously and buoyantly, but it goes out the same way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, who for years has been warning about an eventual recession, proposed a $3.5 billion supplemental payment in addition to the constitutionally required transfer to the rainy day fund for 2018-19. The two payments would bring the total rainy day fund to $13.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It would bring the rainy day fund to 100 percent of its constitutional target.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposed budget for K-14 education would grow to $78.3 billion, its highest level ever, and up $31 billion over the past seven years. Per-pupil spending would grow by $4,600 for 2018-19, and the policy to send more money to school districts with high numbers of English learners and low-income kids would be fully implemented this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing $4.6 billion in additional transportation funding from a massive transportation package passed last year. It includes $2.8 billion to repair roads, highways and bridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about how his spending priorities over the past seven years might affect his legacy, Brown deflected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Governors don’t have legacies. That’s my number one proposition,” Brown said. “Can you tell me the legacy of Goodwin Knight or George Deukmejian?” he asked, notably leaving out his father, Pat Brown, whose legacy is widely believed to include building up the state’s universities and infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s budget proposal comes amid federal budget uncertainty. Buoyed by their victory on federal tax reform, House Speaker Paul Ryan says he’ll next try to cut federal spending on welfare and Medicare, moves that could affect California’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But legislative Democrats still have a lot they’d like to accomplish in the state. Assembly Budget Chair Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) has laid out numerous proposals for the projected budget surplus. They include increasing the earned income tax credit, expanding Medi-Cal to cover all the uninsured, making early education available to all 4-year-olds and putting more money into reserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot ignore the fact that not all Californians have benefited from our state’s renewed prosperity,” Ting said, while unveiling his \u003ca href=\"https://a19.asmdc.org/sites/a19.asmdc.org/files/pdf/2018-budget-blueprint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">budget priorities\u003c/a> last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Budget Chair Holly Mitchell (D- Los Angeles) says the governor’s proposal makes some good investments in education and prison infrastructure. But she’s not entirely satisfied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As it relates to poverty, the governor stated that unlike other states, California has a good system of support, but it is modest. Here, modesty is not good enough,” Mitchell said. “I would like to see more increases in SSI COLAs, and investments in human services, particularly as it relates to deep poverty and CalWORKs. In addition, the need that working parents have for child care is immense and more funding is essential.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans applauded Brown’s move to build up the state’s reserves. But Assembly Budget Committee Vice Chair Jay Obernolte (R-Hesperia) said the state should also use the budget surplus to pay down long-term debt liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We currently have over $200 billion in long-term liabilities. Paying that down now will reduce future state spending,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Republican Leader Brian Dahle (R-Bieber) reinforced the GOP’s philosophy that spending is far too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a strange world where politicians are celebrating that the government took too much money from taxpayers, but that’s exactly what is happening with this budget surplus,” Dahle said in a statement. “My question is: When do California taxpayers get a break?”\u003c/p>\n\n",

Jerry Brown today released a $190 billion \u003ca href=\"http://ebudget.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state budget\u003c/a>, nearly 4 percent more than last year’s spending plan, but restrained in its new initiatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under Brown’s plan, the state’s general fund grows to $131.7 billion, up about $6 billion from last year. The rest of the revenue comes from special funds and bond money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The famously frugal governor noted a “healthy one-time surplus” in his budget, but warns that the state “faces uncertain times, including the ramification of the recently enacted federal tax bill.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The key to this budget is that California has a very volatile tax system,” Brown said. “It means that money comes in very generously and buoyantly, but it goes out the same way.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor, who for years has been warning about an eventual recession, proposed a $3.5 billion supplemental payment in addition to the constitutionally required transfer to the rainy day fund for 2018-19. The two payments would bring the total rainy day fund to $13.5 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Per-pupil spending would grow by $4,600 for 2018-19, and the policy to send more money to school districts with high numbers of English learners and low-income kids would be fully implemented this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The governor is also proposing $4.6 billion in additional transportation funding from a massive transportation package passed last year. It includes $2.8 billion to repair roads, highways and bridges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked about how his spending priorities over the past seven years might affect his legacy, Brown deflected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Governors don’t have legacies. That’s my number one proposition,” Brown said. “Can you tell me the legacy of Goodwin Knight or George Deukmejian?” he asked, notably leaving out his father, Pat Brown, whose legacy is widely believed to include building up the state’s universities and infrastructure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brown’s budget proposal comes amid federal budget uncertainty. Buoyed by their victory on federal tax reform, House Speaker Paul Ryan says he’ll next try to cut federal spending on welfare and Medicare, moves that could affect California’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But legislative Democrats still have a lot they’d like to accomplish in the state. Assembly Budget Chair Phil Ting (D-San Francisco) has laid out numerous proposals for the projected budget surplus. They include increasing the earned income tax credit, expanding Medi-Cal to cover all the uninsured, making early education available to all 4-year-olds and putting more money into reserves.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We cannot ignore the fact that not all Californians have benefited from our state’s renewed prosperity,” Ting said, while unveiling his \u003ca href=\"https://a19.asmdc.org/sites/a19.asmdc.org/files/pdf/2018-budget-blueprint.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">budget priorities\u003c/a> last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Budget Chair Holly Mitchell (D- Los Angeles) says the governor’s proposal makes some good investments in education and prison infrastructure. But she’s not entirely satisfied.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As it relates to poverty, the governor stated that unlike other states, California has a good system of support, but it is modest. Here, modesty is not good enough,” Mitchell said. “I would like to see more increases in SSI COLAs, and investments in human services, particularly as it relates to deep poverty and CalWORKs. In addition, the need that working parents have for child care is immense and more funding is essential.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans applauded Brown’s move to build up the state’s reserves. But Assembly Budget Committee Vice Chair Jay Obernolte (R-Hesperia) said the state should also use the budget surplus to pay down long-term debt liabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We currently have over $200 billion in long-term liabilities. Paying that down now will reduce future state spending,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assembly Republican Leader Brian Dahle (R-Bieber) reinforced the GOP’s philosophy that spending is far too high.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s a strange world where politicians are celebrating that the government took too much money from taxpayers, but that’s exactly what is happening with this budget surplus,” Dahle said in a statement. “My question is: When do California taxpayers get a break?”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

It’s also a known carcinogen. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But further analysis of the water at the San Diego Cooperative Charter School found something else that had gone undetected by the dog, the teachers, and district officials: elevated levels of lead. The district conducted more tests last spring, and found harmful lead levels at other San Diego schools as well. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s not an isolated problem. In Los Angeles, the district has been working for years to identify contaminated fountains and lower the lead levels. And after the much-publicized toxic lead contamination of water in Flint, Mich., a 2016 \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-lead-testing/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> report revealed that children in dozens of California neighborhoods had elevated lead levels in their blood. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lead is a neurotoxin that causes developmental disorders and brain damage. No amount of lead in humans is considered safe.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, under a new law signed by Gov. Jerry Brown in October, public schools are required to get their drinking water sampled for lead, and notify parents if they find traces of the toxic metal. Districts now have until July 2019 to test all campuses, including charter schools. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">school-testing law requires districts to test for lead at least once a year, or once every three years, depending on when the buildings were constructed. If tests find that lead is higher than the state and federal threshold of 15 parts per billion, the school district must notify parents and shut down the contaminated water source until it can be fixed.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“A more aggressive standard” \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Previously, California law gave school districts the option to obtain free testing from their local water supplier, but less than 10 percent of schools had taken advantage of the voluntary program. That’s what spurred \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) to sponsor the new testing bill. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You can’t have water with anything testing above the limits that are drinkable and not follow through and fix for the solution,” she said. “We want to ensure that when you find lead, water is shut off and parents are notified so they can have their kids tested.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Diego Unified has rolled out the strongest policy in the state. Its board decided in late July to set its own threshold at 5 parts per billion, well below the state and federal standard of 15.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We said the state action level was too high, and so we thought we should have a more aggressive standard,” said district spokesman Andrew Sharp. “We wanted to be able to say ‘Look, when kids go back to school in the fall, if there was a positive test for lead on your campus you should know we will have fixed that fountain or kids won’t be drinking from that fountain.’”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Water sampling at San Diego public schools has \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://sandiegounified.org/watersampling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">revealed\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> three campuses with at least one water source above 15 parts per billion, and another 33 sites with water that showed levels between 5 and 15 parts per billion.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The district is working to fix or close the problematic fountains, Sharp said, and intends to test every drinking water source at its schools in the next three to five years. In the meantime, it’s begun a daily “flushing” of fountains at all schools — staff members open the spigot for one minute, to flush through any stagnant water in older pipes and fixtures, which can leach lead into the water overnight. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flushing water fountains has been going on for decades in the Los Angeles Unified School District.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It became evident that a particular kind of drinking fountain had lead content,” said Robert Laughton, district director for environmental health and safety. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was that old style you used to see, that was the square-mounted stainless-steel thing, that was chilled,” Laughton explained. “Well, those old drinking fountains had lead-lined water basins in them, and so in 1988 we removed all of them and began random sampling and began flushing all fountains district-wide.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back then, the district lacked the money to replace or fix contaminated fountains, so at any school where even one water sample exceeded the lead limit of 15 parts per billion, janitors had to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/3450\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">flush\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> every drinking source for 30 seconds each morning, said Mark Hovatter, chief facilities executive for the district. Once flushed, the fountains usually tested below the 15 ppb threshold. Those that did not were shut down.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hovatter said the district chose to “err on the side of safety” for the children, despite taking “a lot of heat during the drought for our flushing.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That’s because the flushing program sent 2.5 million gallons of water down the drain every year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moving forward from preventive flushing to a permanent fix\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2009, the district began systematically testing every single drinking fountain for lead. And in \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">2015 it finally appropriated nearly $20 million to end the flushing, by repairing or closing drinking fountains that tested high for lead. Laughton said all the district’s fountains will be fixed by this fall, and two-thirds of its schools have already been cleared to stop flushing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_362369\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-362369\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-800x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-800x563.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-768x540.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-1020x718.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-1180x830.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-960x675.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-240x169.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-375x264.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-520x366.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students at the 9th Street School in Los Angeles take turns drinking water after recess.

Since the project began, his teams have removed or shut off 800 of those fountains, and fixed or replaced 672.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the 9th Street School near downtown, children line up after recess to drink water. To move them along, a playground monitor gives each child five seconds to drink.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It tastes really good,” said Monica Marquez, 6, of the water.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It tastes like watermelon,” said Vivian Villegas, 7. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At this school, flushing has already ended for all 43 fountains. Testing showed that none of them had to be fixed or shut down.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, officials in other school districts are calling Laughton and Hovatter, seeking advice on how to comply with the new law. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“This isn’t a situation where you can stick your head in the sand and say ‘If I don’t think I’m going to like the answer I’m not going to ask the question,” Laughton said. “We are responsible to know.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet some public health advocates still consider the new law insufficient.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CALPIRG, a consumer advocacy group, had pushed a more stringent bill that would have required every school district to install filters and adopt a tougher lead limit for their drinking water — just one part per billion, instead of 15. But the bill died in committee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jason Pfeifle, a \u003ca href=\"https://calpirg.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALPIRG\u003c/a> health advocate, said children shouldn’t be drinking water that may have lead levels up to 15 parts per billion. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“If a school finds a positive lead test, or finds that a drinking fountain has elevated levels of lead...then it’s already too late, and children have already been exposed,” Pfeifle said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Screening children before they get to school\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gov. Brown also signed into law a related bill to address lead levels in younger children, before they reach kindergarten. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This new \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1316\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">law\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> requires the Department of Public Health to develop a more comprehensive set of screening questions for doctors to use when determining which children should undergo lead-exposure testing. Previously, California only required testing of one- and two-year-olds enrolled in Medi-Cal or other programs for low-income families. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new risk-assessment questions, due in 2019, might \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">include asking whether the family lives near a major highway, or near the site of a former lead or steel smelter, or whether a child might be exposed because he or she spends time in another home or building. The law also requires the state health department to report the test results more promptly, post the data online, and indicate neighborhoods with significant lead-exposure problems. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Some kids in California have more lead than kids in Flint, MI\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">How widespread is the problem? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that five percent of tested children in Flint had elevated lead levels in their blood. By comparison, two percent of tested children in California, mostly those on Medi-Cal, have elevated levels.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But there are local hot spots in California where the data is alarming. In Alameda County, eight zip codes showed rates higher than or equal to Flint’s. Zip codes within Los Angeles, Monterey and Humboldt counties also showed higher rates of childhood lead exposure. In one \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/DEODC/CLPPB/CDPH%20Document%20Library/zip_code_2012_250_tested.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fresno \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">zip code, nearly 14 percent of the children tested had elevated levels of lead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">State health officials caution that the numbers are not an accurate representation of all children, because only those whom health providers believe may be at risk are actually tested.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the data is a few years old. Department officials say those figures come from 2012, and that the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/DEODC/CLPPB/CDPH%20Document%20Library/BLL%20Counts%202012%20by%20LHD%20final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">data\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> set is the most recent they have on hand — despite the fact that labs across the state send in 700,000 test results for blood lead levels every year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The problem we have right now is we don’t know all the different sources of lead in the environment,” said Assemblyman Bill Quirk (D-Hayward), who sponsored the bill. “I hope it will lead to children who are at higher risk being tested, because pediatricians will ask more questions, and parents will ask more questions.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Doctors and insurers didn’t want to have to test every single child \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quirk’s initially wanted the new law to require that all young children in children get tested for lead by their health provider. But the insurance industry, the California Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatricians lobbied successfully to remove that requirement from the bill. The medical association objected because universal testing would override a doctor's discretion, and require costly tests even when a doctor determines there is no risk, according to CMA spokeswoman Joanne Adams.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently about 80 percent of children on Medi-Cal are tested, Quirk acknowledged.

It’s also a known carcinogen. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But further analysis of the water at the San Diego Cooperative Charter School found something else that had gone undetected by the dog, the teachers, and district officials: elevated levels of lead. The district conducted more tests last spring, and found harmful lead levels at other San Diego schools as well. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">It’s not an isolated problem. In Los Angeles, the district has been working for years to identify contaminated fountains and lower the lead levels. And after the much-publicized toxic lead contamination of water in Flint, Mich., a 2016 \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://www.reuters.com/investigates/special-report/usa-lead-testing/\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Reuters\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> report revealed that children in dozens of California neighborhoods had elevated lead levels in their blood. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lead is a neurotoxin that causes developmental disorders and brain damage.

Jerry Brown in October, public schools are required to get their drinking water sampled for lead, and notify parents if they find traces of the toxic metal. Districts now have until July 2019 to test all campuses, including charter schools. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">school-testing law requires districts to test for lead at least once a year, or once every three years, depending on when the buildings were constructed. If tests find that lead is higher than the state and federal threshold of 15 parts per billion, the school district must notify parents and shut down the contaminated water source until it can be fixed.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>“A more aggressive standard” \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Previously, California law gave school districts the option to obtain free testing from their local water supplier, but less than 10 percent of schools had taken advantage of the voluntary program. That’s what spurred \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Assemblywoman Lorena Gonzalez (D-San Diego) to sponsor the new testing bill. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“You can’t have water with anything testing above the limits that are drinkable and not follow through and fix for the solution,” she said. “We want to ensure that when you find lead, water is shut off and parents are notified so they can have their kids tested.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">San Diego Unified has rolled out the strongest policy in the state. Its board decided in late July to set its own threshold at 5 parts per billion, well below the state and federal standard of 15.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“We said the state action level was too high, and so we thought we should have a more aggressive standard,” said district spokesman Andrew Sharp. “We wanted to be able to say ‘Look, when kids go back to school in the fall, if there was a positive test for lead on your campus you should know we will have fixed that fountain or kids won’t be drinking from that fountain.’”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Water sampling at San Diego public schools has \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"http://sandiegounified.org/watersampling\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">revealed\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> three campuses with at least one water source above 15 parts per billion, and another 33 sites with water that showed levels between 5 and 15 parts per billion.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The district is working to fix or close the problematic fountains, Sharp said, and intends to test every drinking water source at its schools in the next three to five years. In the meantime, it’s begun a daily “flushing” of fountains at all schools — staff members open the spigot for one minute, to flush through any stagnant water in older pipes and fixtures, which can leach lead into the water overnight. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flushing water fountains has been going on for decades in the Los Angeles Unified School District.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It became evident that a particular kind of drinking fountain had lead content,” said Robert Laughton, district director for environmental health and safety. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It was that old style you used to see, that was the square-mounted stainless-steel thing, that was chilled,” Laughton explained. “Well, those old drinking fountains had lead-lined water basins in them, and so in 1988 we removed all of them and began random sampling and began flushing all fountains district-wide.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Back then, the district lacked the money to replace or fix contaminated fountains, so at any school where even one water sample exceeded the lead limit of 15 parts per billion, janitors had to \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/3450\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">flush\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> every drinking source for 30 seconds each morning, said Mark Hovatter, chief facilities executive for the district. Once flushed, the fountains usually tested below the 15 ppb threshold. Those that did not were shut down.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Hovatter said the district chose to “err on the side of safety” for the children, despite taking “a lot of heat during the drought for our flushing.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">That’s because the flushing program sent 2.5 million gallons of water down the drain every year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Moving forward from preventive flushing to a permanent fix\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">In 2009, the district began systematically testing every single drinking fountain for lead. And in \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">2015 it finally appropriated nearly $20 million to end the flushing, by repairing or closing drinking fountains that tested high for lead. Laughton said all the district’s fountains will be fixed by this fall, and two-thirds of its schools have already been cleared to stop flushing.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_362369\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-362369\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/stateofhealth/wp-content/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-800x563.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"563\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-800x563.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-160x113.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-768x540.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-1020x718.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-1180x830.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-960x675.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-240x169.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-375x264.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/27/2018/01/20170802_CalMatters_Lea_Kids-520x366.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Students at the 9th Street School in Los Angeles take turns drinking water after recess.

Since the project began, his teams have removed or shut off 800 of those fountains, and fixed or replaced 672.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At the 9th Street School near downtown, children line up after recess to drink water. To move them along, a playground monitor gives each child five seconds to drink.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It tastes really good,” said Monica Marquez, 6, of the water.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“It tastes like watermelon,” said Vivian Villegas, 7. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">At this school, flushing has already ended for all 43 fountains. Testing showed that none of them had to be fixed or shut down.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Now, officials in other school districts are calling Laughton and Hovatter, seeking advice on how to comply with the new law. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“This isn’t a situation where you can stick your head in the sand and say ‘If I don’t think I’m going to like the answer I’m not going to ask the question,” Laughton said. “We are responsible to know.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Yet some public health advocates still consider the new law insufficient.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CALPIRG, a consumer advocacy group, had pushed a more stringent bill that would have required every school district to install filters and adopt a tougher lead limit for their drinking water — just one part per billion, instead of 15. But the bill died in committee. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Jason Pfeifle, a \u003ca href=\"https://calpirg.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CALPIRG\u003c/a> health advocate, said children shouldn’t be drinking water that may have lead levels up to 15 parts per billion. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“If a school finds a positive lead test, or finds that a drinking fountain has elevated levels of lead...then it’s already too late, and children have already been exposed,” Pfeifle said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Screening children before they get to school\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Gov. Brown also signed into law a related bill to address lead levels in younger children, before they reach kindergarten. \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">This new \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB1316\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">law\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> requires the Department of Public Health to develop a more comprehensive set of screening questions for doctors to use when determining which children should undergo lead-exposure testing. Previously, California only required testing of one- and two-year-olds enrolled in Medi-Cal or other programs for low-income families. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The new risk-assessment questions, due in 2019, might \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">include asking whether the family lives near a major highway, or near the site of a former lead or steel smelter, or whether a child might be exposed because he or she spends time in another home or building. The law also requires the state health department to report the test results more promptly, post the data online, and indicate neighborhoods with significant lead-exposure problems. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Some kids in California have more lead than kids in Flint, MI\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">How widespread is the problem? The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention found that five percent of tested children in Flint had elevated lead levels in their blood. By comparison, two percent of tested children in California, mostly those on Medi-Cal, have elevated levels.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">But there are local hot spots in California where the data is alarming. In Alameda County, eight zip codes showed rates higher than or equal to Flint’s. Zip codes within Los Angeles, Monterey and Humboldt counties also showed higher rates of childhood lead exposure. In one \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/DEODC/CLPPB/CDPH%20Document%20Library/zip_code_2012_250_tested.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Fresno \u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">zip code, nearly 14 percent of the children tested had elevated levels of lead.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">State health officials caution that the numbers are not an accurate representation of all children, because only those whom health providers believe may be at risk are actually tested.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">And the data is a few years old. Department officials say those figures come from 2012, and that the \u003c/span>\u003ca href=\"https://www.cdph.ca.gov/Programs/CCDPHP/DEODC/CLPPB/CDPH%20Document%20Library/BLL%20Counts%202012%20by%20LHD%20final.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">data\u003c/span>\u003c/a>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> set is the most recent they have on hand — despite the fact that labs across the state send in 700,000 test results for blood lead levels every year. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“The problem we have right now is we don’t know all the different sources of lead in the environment,” said Assemblyman Bill Quirk (D-Hayward), who sponsored the bill. “I hope it will lead to children who are at higher risk being tested, because pediatricians will ask more questions, and parents will ask more questions.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Doctors and insurers didn’t want to have to test every single child \u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Quirk’s initially wanted the new law to require that all young children in children get tested for lead by their health provider. But the insurance industry, the California Medical Association and the American Academy of Pediatricians lobbied successfully to remove that requirement from the bill. The medical association objected because universal testing would override a doctor's discretion, and require costly tests even when a doctor determines there is no risk, according to CMA spokeswoman Joanne Adams.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Currently about 80 percent of children on Medi-Cal are tested, Quirk acknowledged. But he points out that while low-income children are most vulnerable to lead exposure (because they often live in old or dilapidated houses), \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">any\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> child can be exposed to lead in a variety of ways—from school water fountains to soil in playgrounds.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“I think that every parent should think about having their child tested, period,” Quirk said. “Just ask your pediatrician to order, then you’ll know if there’s a problem. I have a grandchild that just arrived and I’m going to ask my daughter t\u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">o have her child tested.”\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

He did not elaborate on his decision to retire, saying only that it was made with the support of his family.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Applegate, a retired Marine colonel, is running for the seat again, as is environmental attorney Mike Levin. A third Democrat, Paul Kerr, is also in the hunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa was one of two California Republicans to vote against the recent tax bill, which many see as hostile to states like California with high tax rates and housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=”EhUvqLqXK53VRMRf9QlEPtLKWF5WjBR8″]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Issa was one of the most aggressive investigators of Hillary Clinton’s role before and after the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, while she was secretary of State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa tried to moderate his partisan image in his re-election bid last year, sending voters a pamphlet with President Barack Obama’s photo — even though he had been one of the Obama administration’s fiercest critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of recent Democratic sweeps in Virginia and New Jersey and the party’s pickup of a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, Republicans are no doubt sizing up their chances for 2018. The short list of possible GOP candidates to replace Issa includes San Diego Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, considered moderately conservative, and Carl DeMaio, a Republican activist and leading force behind repealing the recent gas tax increase and the recall campaign against Sen. Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), who voted for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are now 31 House Republicans who will not seek re-election in November: 19 who are retiring outright and another 12 who are running for higher office. And that list is expected to grow in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time a party had nearly that many members retire during a midterm year was in 1994, when 28 Democrats left, and the GOP subsequently took back control of Congress in the so-called Republican Revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it’s Republicans who find themselves in the opposite and unenviable position. One year into his term, President Trump has record low approval ratings, congressional Republicans have had few legislative achievements save for the tax overhaul they passed last month, and Democrats seem more fired up than ever to issue a rebuke to the GOP at the ballot box this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no question when you look at these midterms that the Democratic base is more intense than the Republican base. And that offers some significant challenges to Republicans in holding the House, and retirements in marginal seats like [Rep. Ed] Royce’s don’t help,” Tom Davis, a former Virginia congressman and ex-National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Royce, the House Foreign Affairs chairman, is one of eight committee chairmen who are calling it quits. His seat is in one of three open districts held by a GOP member that President Trump lost in the last election, making it a top Democratic opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats need 24 seats to flip control of the House, and history, in addition to other promising signs, is on their side. Going back to World War II, the president’s party loses an average of 28 seats in his first midterm election — and none of those happened with a president’s approval rating as low as Trump’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the latest \u003ca href=\"https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2018_generic_congressional_vote-6185.html\">RealClearPolitics average\u003c/a>, Democrats have an 11-point edge in the generic ballot, on track with where they need to be to pick up the seats to take control, even with the advantage Republicans have from gerrymandering and the pattern of Democratic voters clustered in urban areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vulnerable House Republicans would clearly rather call it quits than stand for re-election with a deeply unpopular agenda hanging over their heads,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Tyler Law told NPR. “The total number of Republican retirements and the importance of the open seats to the overall battlefield are a huge problem for Speaker Ryan’s imperiled majority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

A third Democrat, Paul Kerr, is also in the hunt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa was one of two California Republicans to vote against the recent tax bill, which many see as hostile to states like California with high tax rates and housing costs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As chairman of the House Oversight Committee, Issa was one of the most aggressive investigators of Hillary Clinton’s role before and after the deadly terrorist attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Libya, while she was secretary of State.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Issa tried to moderate his partisan image in his re-election bid last year, sending voters a pamphlet with President Barack Obama’s photo — even though he had been one of the Obama administration’s fiercest critics.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In light of recent Democratic sweeps in Virginia and New Jersey and the party’s pickup of a U.S. Senate seat in Alabama, Republicans are no doubt sizing up their chances for 2018. The short list of possible GOP candidates to replace Issa includes San Diego Assemblyman Rocky Chavez, considered moderately conservative, and Carl DeMaio, a Republican activist and leading force behind repealing the recent gas tax increase and the recall campaign against Sen. Josh Newman (D-Fullerton), who voted for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There are now 31 House Republicans who will not seek re-election in November: 19 who are retiring outright and another 12 who are running for higher office. And that list is expected to grow in the coming weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The last time a party had nearly that many members retire during a midterm year was in 1994, when 28 Democrats left, and the GOP subsequently took back control of Congress in the so-called Republican Revolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, it’s Republicans who find themselves in the opposite and unenviable position. One year into his term, President Trump has record low approval ratings, congressional Republicans have had few legislative achievements save for the tax overhaul they passed last month, and Democrats seem more fired up than ever to issue a rebuke to the GOP at the ballot box this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s no question when you look at these midterms that the Democratic base is more intense than the Republican base. And that offers some significant challenges to Republicans in holding the House, and retirements in marginal seats like [Rep. Ed] Royce’s don’t help,” Tom Davis, a former Virginia congressman and ex-National Republican Congressional Committee chairman, told NPR.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Royce, the House Foreign Affairs chairman, is one of eight committee chairmen who are calling it quits. His seat is in one of three open districts held by a GOP member that President Trump lost in the last election, making it a top Democratic opportunity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Democrats need 24 seats to flip control of the House, and history, in addition to other promising signs, is on their side. Going back to World War II, the president’s party loses an average of 28 seats in his first midterm election — and none of those happened with a president’s approval rating as low as Trump’s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to the latest \u003ca href=\"https://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/other/2018_generic_congressional_vote-6185.html\">RealClearPolitics average\u003c/a>, Democrats have an 11-point edge in the generic ballot, on track with where they need to be to pick up the seats to take control, even with the advantage Republicans have from gerrymandering and the pattern of Democratic voters clustered in urban areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Vulnerable House Republicans would clearly rather call it quits than stand for re-election with a deeply unpopular agenda hanging over their heads,” Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee spokesman Tyler Law told NPR. “The total number of Republican retirements and the importance of the open seats to the overall battlefield are a huge problem for Speaker Ryan’s imperiled majority.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>NPR contributed to this report.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

Please let us know what you find at \u003ca href=\"mailto:baycurious@kqed.org\">baycurious@kqed.org\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Good News: The Odds Are in Your Favor\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>We found that the majority of students, 61 percent, enrolled in their first-choice school, 77 percent enrolled in one of their top five choices and 80 percent in one of their top 10 choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many parents said that one of their big fears was being assigned a random school, one they didn’t list. However, only 3 percent of children received a random school in the first round of assignments.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Gaming Techniques\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While 80 percent is a pretty good chance, it does mean that a fifth of students will not get one of their top 10 choices. There’s a lot of advice out there from parents, organizations and the school district on how to ensure your kid will get into the right school for you. We analyzed some of the most popular techniques to see how they stood up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Note: Each school year is different, and the school district does sometimes tweak the algorithm based on school board policies. So these findings apply to students who applied for the 2017-2018 school year.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listing a Lot of Schools\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a lot of playground chatter, as well as online blogs, saying that listing a lot of schools is one way to success. The vast majority of people list 10 schools or less, about 75 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, some people listed far more schools than 10. Several even listed more schools than are available to attend, up to 92. But we found this system doesn’t necessarily improve the odds of enrolling in one of your top-choice schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We found that, of people who listed more than 10 schools, 39 percent received their first choice, 62 percent received one of their top five choices and 67 percent received one of their top 10 choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Laurel Gaddie’s son, Kelvin, goes to Sanchez Elementary School; her daughter will be entering the lottery this year. When applying to kindergarten for Kelvin, Gaddie listed a lot of schools based on advice from parent blogs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first looked at our list of 17 [schools] I thought, this is absurd, but hopefully it will result in us getting our top choice. It didn’t,” Gaddie says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED asked the San Francisco Unified School District about our findings. However, it did not respond to our requests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listing the Same School Multiple Times\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We also found that many parents listed the same school several times in their lottery applications. However, this technique did not appear to have any significant impact either way on how likely those students were to enroll in their top choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Listing Schools for Swapping\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before everyone receives their first-round school assignment, the algorithm “swaps” schools. Basically, the algorithm looks out across all the tentatively assigned students to see if any two could both receive a higher ranked choice if they swapped places. Then the algorithm transfers the two assignments, so Student A gets Student B’s assignment and vice versa. The district says \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfusd.edu/en/assets/sfusd-staff/enroll/files/Presentation_Dec_7_2017_reduced_size.pdf\">10 percent of first-round assignments were affected\u003c/a> by the swapping mechanism in 2017-18.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This has led some parents to list schools that they think other parents may want in hopes that, during the swapping phase, they could get one of their higher choices.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The strategy is, you fill out your top 10 schools and then you put all the other schools, even if of course you’re not going to go there,” said Jenny Williams, a parent who just went through the school assignment process. “You get the extra piece of paper and you put them all on there. Every school — which is ridiculous.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams didn’t use this strategy, but she heard plenty about it from other parents as she went through the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED could not tell from the data provided whether this technique is effective. However, the school district is considering dropping the swapping mechanism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re concerned that it’s complicated and difficult to understand, and that it encourages families to list schools they don’t want as a strategy to get a choice,” says Orla O’Keeffe, executive director of policy and operations for the SFUSD.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Neighborhood Schools\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One factor we know the algorithm considers is whether the child lives in the school’s attendance area. This has left parents wondering where they should rank the schools closest to them. The data we received does not show how requests are weighted by the system. However, a majority of students enrolled in schools out of their ZIP codes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We did find that some ZIP codes seem harder to leave than others. Students in areas like the Outer Richmond are more likely to attend schools in their ZIP codes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Most Requested Schools\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The top 10 most requested schools, in order:\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Clarendon Elementary School\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>West Portal Elementary School\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Grattan Elementary School\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Rooftop Elementary School\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Lawton Alternative School\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Sunset Elementary School\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>George Peabody Elementary School\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Claire B.

Parents can select multiple schools, and they made more than 45,000 unique choices.

"content": "\u003cp>At least 13 people were killed and 25 were injured in Santa Barbara County as Southern California's first winter storm swept through the region on Tuesday. The heavy rains triggered mudslides that swept several homes from their foundations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Barbara County Officials said at an afternoon news conference that about 7,000 people live in the mandatory evacuation zone, and about 23,000 people live in the voluntary evacuation zone. Officials could not confirm where in the county the deaths and injuries had occurred, nor how many people remained missing. However, at least six people were killed in the Montecito area, Santa Barbara County fire officials said earlier in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first confirmed death was Roy Rohter, a former real estate broker who founded St. Augustine Academy in Ventura. The Catholic school's headmaster, Michael Van Hecke, announced the death and said Rohter's wife was injured by the mudslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First responders were aware of approximately 300 people trapped in Romero Canyon, according to officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents were unaccounted for in neighborhoods hard to reach because of downed trees and power lines, Santa Barbara County Fire Department Capt. Dave Zaniboni told the Associated Press, which reported that there was a \"backlog of scores of callers requesting help.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m. Tuesday morning, dispatchers received more than 600 calls for help, officials said at the afternoon news conference. Fifty people had been hoisted to safety, and \"dozens more\" were rescued from the ground, officials said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Santa Barbara County Fire Department's Mike Eliason tweeted that the 300 block of Hot Springs Road was badly hit by mudslides. That area was not under mandatory evacuation orders, but voluntary ones, according to a \u003ca href=\"https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=1MsfIfBPYO0JcSprEno-QPWR2-POpliv2&ll=34.42906340000005%2C-119.6383927&z=14\">map\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"http://countyofsb.org/asset.c/3629\">press release \u003c/a>circulated by the County of Santa Barbara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://twitter.com/david_r_wagner/status/950850574743879680\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Burbank, the Deer Canyon basin overflowed, according to an \u003ca href=\"http://www.burbankca.gov/Home/Components/News/News/2533/25\">update\u003c/a> from city officials.

The heavy rains triggered mudslides that swept several homes from their foundations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Barbara County Officials said at an afternoon news conference that about 7,000 people live in the mandatory evacuation zone, and about 23,000 people live in the voluntary evacuation zone. Officials could not confirm where in the county the deaths and injuries had occurred, nor how many people remained missing. However, at least six people were killed in the Montecito area, Santa Barbara County fire officials said earlier in the day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The first confirmed death was Roy Rohter, a former real estate broker who founded St. Augustine Academy in Ventura. The Catholic school's headmaster, Michael Van Hecke, announced the death and said Rohter's wife was injured by the mudslide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>First responders were aware of approximately 300 people trapped in Romero Canyon, according to officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Residents were unaccounted for in neighborhoods hard to reach because of downed trees and power lines, Santa Barbara County Fire Department Capt.

He subsequently missed a deadline to file what he described in an email to an FPPC lawyer as “my delinquent statements” and has not been heard from since, the agency complaint says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams did not respond to phone calls and emails seeking comment on the FPPC’s proposed fine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>FPPC spokesman Jay Wierenga said Monday the proposed amount of the fine in the Williams case, $60,000, “is a lot.” He explained that in the relatively rare case in which an officeholder or candidate doesn’t respond to agency inquiries, “the enforcement division will go to the high end to get their attention.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in fact, the enforcement division has already signaled its willingness to settle for less than the $60,000 fine it has asked commission members to approve next week. In an email last November, enforcement counsel Ruth Yang told Williams that once his delinquent statements are filed, “I can send you a stipulated agreement with a demand for a reduced penalty.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, a 2004 graduate of Oakland’s St. Elizabeth High School and former student at Laney College, was elected to the board in 2010 after serving a brief stint on AC Transit’s Accessibility Advisory Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At 24, Williams was the youngest person ever elected to the board. He was re-elected in 2014, and his seat — representing AC Transit’s Ward 4, including parts of San Leandro, Castro Valley and Hayward — is up for election again this year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The FPPC complaint and financial disclosure data on file with the Alameda County Registrar of Voters show that Williams has not filed semi-annual campaign statements required under California’s Political Reform Act since January 2011. The complaint notes that Williams’s election committee showed a balance of $6,295.65 after the 2010 campaign.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Without any subsequent reporting, the public has not information regarding the disposition of those funds,” the document says. The document adds that by seeking re-election “without filing a single campaign statement … Williams hid his campaign activities from his opponent and the public.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The AC Transit Ward 4 race in 2010 was not a high-profile, big-money affair. Williams ran against Gavin Wilgus, whom \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2010/10/15/oakland-tribune-editorial-we-recommend-elsa-ortiz-jeff-davis-gavin-wilgus-and-joel-young-for-ac-transit-board/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the East Bay Times described\u003c/a> as a property manager working on a master’s degree in public administration at Cal State East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilgus’s campaign paperwork doesn’t turn up in Alameda County’s campaign finance database. Records for Williams show that he raised a total of $8,775 for the campaign, with $7,750 coming from unions. The Amalgamated Transit Union, which represents AC Transit’s drivers, donated $5,500 of that total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams won 70 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, Williams sought re-election against Murphy McCalley, a Castro Valley-based transportation and transit finance consultant. Records show McCalley raised about $16,500 for the race, include $6,500 he loaned the campaign himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Williams didn’t file campaign statements for the 2014 race, a check of the labor organizations that backed him four years earlier shows he raised at least $4,700 from them. That total includes $2,000 from AFSCME Local 3916, $1,500 from a Teamsters campaign committee and $1,200 from the Amalgamated Transit Union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite McCalley’s apparent fund-raising edge, Williams won in 2014 with 58 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The seven-member AC Transit board oversees a bus system that operates local and transbay service in the 35-mile corridor from San Pablo to Fremont. The system carries about 171,000 riders each weekday and has an operating budget of $420 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his most recent conflict of interest statement filed with AC Transit, Williams says he worked in 2016 as a political organizer for the Alameda Labor Council, a coalition of East Bay unions. He listed his gross 2016 salary in that position as between $1,000 and $10,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams also receives an $1,185 monthly stipend and benefits as a board member. According to Transparent California, his total compensation from AC Transit in 2015 was $22,593, including benefits.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Williams ran against Gavin Wilgus, whom \u003ca href=\"https://www.eastbaytimes.com/2010/10/15/oakland-tribune-editorial-we-recommend-elsa-ortiz-jeff-davis-gavin-wilgus-and-joel-young-for-ac-transit-board/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the East Bay Times described\u003c/a> as a property manager working on a master’s degree in public administration at Cal State East Bay.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Wilgus’s campaign paperwork doesn’t turn up in Alameda County’s campaign finance database. Records for Williams show that he raised a total of $8,775 for the campaign, with $7,750 coming from unions. The Amalgamated Transit Union, which represents AC Transit’s drivers, donated $5,500 of that total.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams won 70 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2014, Williams sought re-election against Murphy McCalley, a Castro Valley-based transportation and transit finance consultant. Records show McCalley raised about $16,500 for the race, include $6,500 he loaned the campaign himself.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Williams didn’t file campaign statements for the 2014 race, a check of the labor organizations that backed him four years earlier shows he raised at least $4,700 from them. That total includes $2,000 from AFSCME Local 3916, $1,500 from a Teamsters campaign committee and $1,200 from the Amalgamated Transit Union.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite McCalley’s apparent fund-raising edge, Williams won in 2014 with 58 percent of the vote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The seven-member AC Transit board oversees a bus system that operates local and transbay service in the 35-mile corridor from San Pablo to Fremont. The system carries about 171,000 riders each weekday and has an operating budget of $420 million.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In his most recent conflict of interest statement filed with AC Transit, Williams says he worked in 2016 as a political organizer for the Alameda Labor Council, a coalition of East Bay unions. He listed his gross 2016 salary in that position as between $1,000 and $10,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams also receives an $1,185 monthly stipend and benefits as a board member. According to Transparent California, his total compensation from AC Transit in 2015 was $22,593, including benefits.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
