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.",

The effort has focused most publicly on sweeping governance changes that could curb the growth of charters. But a key piece of legislation also includes a proposal to change who is allowed to teach in charters, which are mostly staffed by non-union employees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB1505\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Assembly Bill 1505,\u003c/a> which \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/blog/charter-school-bills-california-assembly-ab1505-odonnell/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">narrowly passed the Assembly in May\u003c/a>, would require that all California public school teachers hired after Jan. 1, 2020, whether district or charter, hold the proper credentials for the classes that they are teaching. If passed, the proposal would also affect how the state tracks teachers whose credentials don’t match the specific classes they’re assigned to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the proposed language essentially grandfathers in teachers currently leading non-core classes in charters, some charter advocates and local school officials oppose the effort, saying it goes against the state’s intent that charter schools be innovative in their curriculum and instruction. They note that charter teachers already comply with many aspects of the credentialing process, such as fingerprinting and background checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter arts teachers, meanwhile, say that in their fields, credentialing mandates can rule out good teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, the piano teacher, says she is as qualified to teach music as someone who is credentialed through the state, “if not more, because my experience compounds on top of my training and education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would love to continue teaching music in the charter schools because I’m good at it and I love it, and I’d be very sad if I was limited because I don’t have those credentials,” she said. “But what I do have is 30 years of teaching experience. What I do have is a long life of experience, and with my [academy] already up and running, I wouldn’t have time to go and get my credentials at this point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, appropriately credentialed teachers have obtained a college degree, completed a formal training program, proved mastery over the subject matter they’re teaching and have finished or are in the process of completing professional development specifically aimed at rookie teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlos Marquez, the chief lobbyist for the California Charter Schools Association, said it’s “not unusual” for charters to hire teachers who are not credentialed but have specific professional expertise, such as artists, professional dancers or actors with Broadway experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fernando Aguilar, principal of Creative Arts K-8, a San Francisco charter school, said the flexibility in current law has allowed his school to staff teachers in arts, theater, dance, music and visual arts — subjects he said don’t always fully align with the state’s credentialing structure. For example, he said, a person with professional experience as a dancer would be required to hold a credential in physical education under the traditional requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguilar said he tries to hire teachers who have the appropriate credentials, and provides rigorous professional development for teachers who do not. Creative Arts K-8, he noted, has been recognized by the state for its arts programs as well as its efforts to narrow the achievement gap with the help of the credentialing flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are able to prove that this is working for students, that they are being able to thrive in a situation like this, then I wonder why you want to stop that or hinder that at this point,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-bPbYB\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" title=\"Map: Map: Where Are Students Attending Charter Schools?\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/bPbYB/7/\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-describedby=\"The majority of California's charter school student population is concentrated in Los Angeles, San Diego and Bay Area counties.

But O’Donnell believes charter schools have altogether misinterpreted the state’s credentialing exception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too many charters, he said, are “trying to get around something that might take some time and might take up some resources, but ultimately is in the best interest of child safety and student learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/docs/default-source/commission/reports/am-2015-2017.pdf?sfvrsn=2\">report\u003c/a> by the commission, which regulates teacher certification statewide, last year found a 16% increase in teacher misassignments in 2016-17 over the previous school year — with special education making up the largest share. Even so, misassignments accounted for less than 3% of the pool of nearly 70,000 teachers checked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michele Perrault, the commission’s director for the division of administrative services, said wherever the debate lands, these numbers matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is that every student in California classrooms should have a teacher who’s properly assigned, that is fully ready to meet their child’s needs the day they walk into that classroom,” Perrault said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does that mean somebody who is not fully credentialed properly can’t do that? No. But the chances are if they are fully credentialed versus walking in without anything, they’re obviously going to have more tools in their belt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

If passed, the proposal would also affect how the state tracks teachers whose credentials don’t match the specific classes they’re assigned to.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Though the proposed language essentially grandfathers in teachers currently leading non-core classes in charters, some charter advocates and local school officials oppose the effort, saying it goes against the state’s intent that charter schools be innovative in their curriculum and instruction. They note that charter teachers already comply with many aspects of the credentialing process, such as fingerprinting and background checks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Charter arts teachers, meanwhile, say that in their fields, credentialing mandates can rule out good teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Williams, the piano teacher, says she is as qualified to teach music as someone who is credentialed through the state, “if not more, because my experience compounds on top of my training and education.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would love to continue teaching music in the charter schools because I’m good at it and I love it, and I’d be very sad if I was limited because I don’t have those credentials,” she said. “But what I do have is 30 years of teaching experience. What I do have is a long life of experience, and with my [academy] already up and running, I wouldn’t have time to go and get my credentials at this point.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, appropriately credentialed teachers have obtained a college degree, completed a formal training program, proved mastery over the subject matter they’re teaching and have finished or are in the process of completing professional development specifically aimed at rookie teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carlos Marquez, the chief lobbyist for the California Charter Schools Association, said it’s “not unusual” for charters to hire teachers who are not credentialed but have specific professional expertise, such as artists, professional dancers or actors with Broadway experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fernando Aguilar, principal of Creative Arts K-8, a San Francisco charter school, said the flexibility in current law has allowed his school to staff teachers in arts, theater, dance, music and visual arts — subjects he said don’t always fully align with the state’s credentialing structure. For example, he said, a person with professional experience as a dancer would be required to hold a credential in physical education under the traditional requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aguilar said he tries to hire teachers who have the appropriate credentials, and provides rigorous professional development for teachers who do not. Creative Arts K-8, he noted, has been recognized by the state for its arts programs as well as its efforts to narrow the achievement gap with the help of the credentialing flexibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you are able to prove that this is working for students, that they are being able to thrive in a situation like this, then I wonder why you want to stop that or hinder that at this point,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-bPbYB\" style=\"width: 0; min-width: 100% !important;\" title=\"Map: Map: Where Are Students Attending Charter Schools?\" src=\"//datawrapper.dwcdn.net/bPbYB/7/\" height=\"400\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" aria-describedby=\"The majority of California's charter school student population is concentrated in Los Angeles, San Diego and Bay Area counties.

But O’Donnell believes charter schools have altogether misinterpreted the state’s credentialing exception.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Too many charters, he said, are “trying to get around something that might take some time and might take up some resources, but ultimately is in the best interest of child safety and student learning.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/docs/default-source/commission/reports/am-2015-2017.pdf?sfvrsn=2\">report\u003c/a> by the commission, which regulates teacher certification statewide, last year found a 16% increase in teacher misassignments in 2016-17 over the previous school year — with special education making up the largest share. Even so, misassignments accounted for less than 3% of the pool of nearly 70,000 teachers checked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michele Perrault, the commission’s director for the division of administrative services, said wherever the debate lands, these numbers matter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The idea is that every student in California classrooms should have a teacher who’s properly assigned, that is fully ready to meet their child’s needs the day they walk into that classroom,” Perrault said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does that mean somebody who is not fully credentialed properly can’t do that? No. But the chances are if they are fully credentialed versus walking in without anything, they’re obviously going to have more tools in their belt.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CALmatters.org is a nonprofit, nonpartisan media venture explaining California policies and politics.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

His granddaughter, Eve Bergeron, told me he created the cocktail and asked some visiting friends from Tahiti — Ham and Carrie Guild — to try it.

His granddaughter, Eve Bergeron, told me he created the cocktail and asked some visiting friends from Tahiti — Ham and Carrie Guild — to try it.

With less than a week before the last school day, the strike has all but shut down district schools across Union City and South Hayward, putting final grades and graduation proceedings in limbo, and upending most end-of-year activities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m an eternal optimist,” said Lisa Duncanson, a science teacher at Delaine Eastin Elementary School, when asked if she thought a deal could be reached before the end of the year. “But I’m finding it hard to get my hopes up.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For weeks now, district and New Haven Teachers Association officials have been mired in a marathon of near-daily negotiations, often lasting into the early hours of the morning. Negotiations continued Friday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s “last, best and final offer,” made on Thursday, was quickly rejected by union officials, although unlike previous offers, teachers were asked to review it and give feedback.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district’s proposal gave teachers two somewhat confusing options, a choice between more cash upfront or more modest but ongoing salary hikes. The first included a 3% on-schedule salary increase for the 2018-19 school year, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2019, as well as a 3% off-schedule onetime pay increase for the upcoming school year. The second option included a 4.5% off-schedule, one-time increase for the 2018-19 year and a 3% ongoing increase beginning in July. Both also included the possibility of up to a 1% additional increase if more state funding became available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thought is that some folks don’t actually like off-schedule increases, especially folks getting close to retirement,” said district spokesman John Mattos. “Do you want some immediate cash now for your folks and get 3% next year, or do you want to give something to your retirees, which everyone would get?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although a significantly better offer than what the district had put forward at the onset of the strike — a 1% increase for next year and a onetime 3% payment — union leaders said it still fell far short of the union’s current demand of a 6% ongoing increase covering the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union, which initially sought a 10% percent ongoing bump, is now also insisting that striking teachers be fully compensated for every day they’ve been on the picket line, a demand the district has adamantly refused and called “regressive.” The union argues that the district can easily afford the “return-to-work bonus” because of the huge amount of money it has saved over the last three weeks and the fact that it’s not losing any state funding because of low attendance figures this late in the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union is also demanding that the district give striking teachers nearing retirement a full year of credit toward their retirement plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we are sort of at the point where everything we worried about at the beginning of the strike has given way to just anger. Seething anger,” said Duncanson. “The district has pulled the rug out from under us so often. … The things that they’re doing, it feels like they’re trying to punish the teachers, but in fact they’re taking it out on the kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the district says it has stretched itself as thin as it can go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district estimates the union’s proposal would result in roughly $18 million in cuts and is simply not feasible, given its declining enrollment and deficit spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just can’t swing that. It would devastate programs and possibly compromise student safety,” Mattos said, noting that a number of support services would likely land on the chopping block. “It would be a gigantic hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although schools have remained open since the strike began on May 20 — staffed largely by district personnel — virtually no teachers have crossed the picket line, and only about 10% of students have come to class, according to the district. District-run after-school programs have also been canceled, including one geared toward low-income students that provides meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And unlike the Oakland teachers strike earlier this year, during which scores of community centers, churches and libraries offered varying degrees of programming for children not attending school, there appear to be many fewer options available in this community. Most kids are simply staying home, according to teachers and district officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district said it has already started calculating end-of-year grades for seniors — who were scheduled to take their final exams this week and need to know if they’re graduating — by taking the highest of three quarterly grades from the past year. It plans to make similar calculations for other grades starting next week, if there’s still no resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District teachers make an average of $96,544 a year, the highest in the county, a point the district has underscored repeatedly. But unlike their counterparts in most neighboring districts, teachers here also pay full health care premiums, which union members say can add up to at least $20,000. The union said it is simply seeking a cost-of-living increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ku’e Angeles defended the union’s latest offer, arguing that the district has saved a considerable amount of money over the last two weeks and can afford to compensate teachers for time lost without cutting into the future budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we’re asking for something that would come close to bankrupting the district,” he said. “I’m hoping that we can come to terms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a deal is eventually reached, the proposed contract must then be approved by a majority of union members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For teachers and students, though, frustration has continued to mount as the strike drags on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s ridiculous we’re still out here,” Mike Isenberg, a history teacher at James Logan High School in Union City, said. “This isn’t about money, this is about equity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a feeling of disbelief among teachers and students that this is still going on, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all hope that is it going to end, every day,” he said. “Even graduation is in question right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Both also included the possibility of up to a 1% additional increase if more state funding became available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The thought is that some folks don’t actually like off-schedule increases, especially folks getting close to retirement,” said district spokesman John Mattos. “Do you want some immediate cash now for your folks and get 3% next year, or do you want to give something to your retirees, which everyone would get?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although a significantly better offer than what the district had put forward at the onset of the strike — a 1% increase for next year and a onetime 3% payment — union leaders said it still fell far short of the union’s current demand of a 6% ongoing increase covering the 2018-19 and 2019-20 school years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union, which initially sought a 10% percent ongoing bump, is now also insisting that striking teachers be fully compensated for every day they’ve been on the picket line, a demand the district has adamantly refused and called “regressive.” The union argues that the district can easily afford the “return-to-work bonus” because of the huge amount of money it has saved over the last three weeks and the fact that it’s not losing any state funding because of low attendance figures this late in the year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The union is also demanding that the district give striking teachers nearing retirement a full year of credit toward their retirement plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we are sort of at the point where everything we worried about at the beginning of the strike has given way to just anger. Seething anger,” said Duncanson. “The district has pulled the rug out from under us so often. … The things that they’re doing, it feels like they’re trying to punish the teachers, but in fact they’re taking it out on the kids.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the district says it has stretched itself as thin as it can go.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district estimates the union’s proposal would result in roughly $18 million in cuts and is simply not feasible, given its declining enrollment and deficit spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We just can’t swing that. It would devastate programs and possibly compromise student safety,” Mattos said, noting that a number of support services would likely land on the chopping block. “It would be a gigantic hit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although schools have remained open since the strike began on May 20 — staffed largely by district personnel — virtually no teachers have crossed the picket line, and only about 10% of students have come to class, according to the district. District-run after-school programs have also been canceled, including one geared toward low-income students that provides meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And unlike the Oakland teachers strike earlier this year, during which scores of community centers, churches and libraries offered varying degrees of programming for children not attending school, there appear to be many fewer options available in this community. Most kids are simply staying home, according to teachers and district officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district said it has already started calculating end-of-year grades for seniors — who were scheduled to take their final exams this week and need to know if they’re graduating — by taking the highest of three quarterly grades from the past year. It plans to make similar calculations for other grades starting next week, if there’s still no resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District teachers make an average of $96,544 a year, the highest in the county, a point the district has underscored repeatedly. But unlike their counterparts in most neighboring districts, teachers here also pay full health care premiums, which union members say can add up to at least $20,000. The union said it is simply seeking a cost-of-living increase.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ku’e Angeles defended the union’s latest offer, arguing that the district has saved a considerable amount of money over the last two weeks and can afford to compensate teachers for time lost without cutting into the future budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we’re asking for something that would come close to bankrupting the district,” he said. “I’m hoping that we can come to terms.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After a deal is eventually reached, the proposed contract must then be approved by a majority of union members.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For teachers and students, though, frustration has continued to mount as the strike drags on.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s ridiculous we’re still out here,” Mike Isenberg, a history teacher at James Logan High School in Union City, said. “This isn’t about money, this is about equity.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s a feeling of disbelief among teachers and students that this is still going on, he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We all hope that is it going to end, every day,” he said. “Even graduation is in question right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
