"content": "\u003cp>New Haven teachers are now mired in the third week of their districtwide strike, following yet another marathon round of negotiations this weekend that failed to produce a deal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>During a nearly 12-hour bargaining session on Sunday with district officials, the New Haven Teachers Association laid out their revised salary demands, including a 3% raise for the current school year, retroactive to Jan. 1, 2019, and another 3% increase for the 2019-20 school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although slightly lower than its previous offer of nearly 7% over two years, the union’s proposal also required that teachers be compensated for every day they’ve been on strike, and that retiring teachers will still get credit towards retirement for those days.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We want to end this strike, and this bargaining team has made considerable movement,” said Joe Ku’e Angeles, president of the New Haven Teachers Association, which represents some 600 teachers, counselors and nurses in schools across Union City and South Hayward. “The proposal falls within the recommendation of the\u003ca href=\"http://newhaventa.org/media/1072/ff19-01-a4-new-haven-usd-and-new-haven-teachers-association-perb-sf-im-3217-e.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> neutral fact-finding report\u003c/a>.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[aside label=\"More Strike Coverage\" tag=\"new-haven-unified-school-district\"]\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the New Haven Unified School District said the union’s latest offer amounted to a step backwards that would actually cost the district more than the previous proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The regressive nature of NHTA’s current proposal represents bad faith bargaining and illustrates an unwillingness of NHTA’s Bargaining Team to end the teacher strike,” \u003ca href=\"https://www.mynhusd.org/apps/news/article/1019898\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the district said\u003c/a> in a statement. The district also emphasized that it would not compensate teachers for any of the days they participated in the strike.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Negotiations are expected to resume on Tuesday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now in its 10th day, this is the first strike in the district’s history. With less than two weeks remaining in the school year, the walkout has left roughly 11,000 students in limbo, particularly those in high school who were scheduled to begin final exams today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although schools have remained open since the strike began on May 20 — staffed by temporary substitutes and district personnel — virtually no teachers have crossed the picket line, and only a small percentage of students have come to class, the union said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a deal is not reached soon, the district intends to calculate students’ final grades based on several data points from previous quarters this year, said district spokesman John Mattos. He said he was hopeful, though, that it wouldn’t come to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really want to meet today and push this thing over the goal line and get kids back in their classrooms,” he said. “I think both sides are very highly motivated to get things done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Sunday, the district’s offer included a one-time 3% pay increase for the current year (paid retroactively) and a 2% increase that would take effect in the middle of the 2019-20 school year. “This offer would give teachers, on average, $2,900 for 18/19 and an ongoing increase for 19/20 of approximately $1,000, which would compound to $2,000 every year after,” the district said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district on Sunday also tried sweetening the deal by offering the possibility of small additional increases if more state funding becomes available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that’s still a far cry from the union’s current demand, the gap has narrowed considerably since the strike began. At that time, the union was demanding a 10% raise over two academic years, while the district had offered a 1% increase for next year and a one-time 3% payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are closer than we’ve been,” district spokesman Mattos said. “I think that’s heartening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the union’s current proposal, he added, which the district estimates would result in roughly $18 million in cuts, is simply not feasible given the district’s 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>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\u003ch2>Long Bargaining Process\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite ongoing talks, and the involvement of State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, who participated in Friday’s negotiations, tensions between the two sides have been ratcheting up. Leading into Sunday’s talks, union president Ku’e Angeles released a statement calling Superintendent Arlando Smith a “dictator who is unwilling to compromise and is hurting teachers by keeping them out on strike.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a follow-up statement, Smith countered, “It is a sign of desperation when leaders such as Mr. Angeles continue to misrepresent the truth, misstate the facts, incite violence, incivility and hate, then deny that is what he is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ku’e Angeles said that while some progress has been made, the district’s current offer is “not anything we could consider.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He 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 the future budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we’re asking for something that would come come close to bankrupting the district,” he said. “I’m hoping that we can come to terms. This is a critical week.”\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>The New Haven strike follows a series of recent high-profile walkouts in larger districts across the country, including in Los Angeles and Oakland earlier this year, both of which were resolved within two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ku’e Angeles said that despite the strike’s duration, almost all teachers have continued to picket outside their schools, and remain committed to holding the line until a fair deal is reached. Teachers who need financial assistance can dip into the union’s strike fund, which now has about $20,000 in donations from supporters, he said. Additionally, a local credit union is offering no-interest loans of up to $2,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For teachers, 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 on Friday. “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, everyday,” he said. “Even graduation is in question right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

With less than two weeks remaining in the school year, the walkout has left roughly 11,000 students in limbo, particularly those in high school who were scheduled to begin final exams today.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although schools have remained open since the strike began on May 20 — staffed by temporary substitutes and district personnel — virtually no teachers have crossed the picket line, and only a small percentage of students have come to class, the union said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If a deal is not reached soon, the district intends to calculate students’ final grades based on several data points from previous quarters this year, said district spokesman John Mattos. He said he was hopeful, though, that it wouldn’t come to that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I really want to meet today and push this thing over the goal line and get kids back in their classrooms,” he said. “I think both sides are very highly motivated to get things done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Sunday, the district’s offer included a one-time 3% pay increase for the current year (paid retroactively) and a 2% increase that would take effect in the middle of the 2019-20 school year. “This offer would give teachers, on average, $2,900 for 18/19 and an ongoing increase for 19/20 of approximately $1,000, which would compound to $2,000 every year after,” the district said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The district on Sunday also tried sweetening the deal by offering the possibility of small additional increases if more state funding becomes available.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that’s still a far cry from the union’s current demand, the gap has narrowed considerably since the strike began. At that time, the union was demanding a 10% raise over two academic years, while the district had offered a 1% increase for next year and a one-time 3% payment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are closer than we’ve been,” district spokesman Mattos said. “I think that’s heartening.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the union’s current proposal, he added, which the district estimates would result in roughly $18 million in cuts, is simply not feasible given the district’s 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>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\u003ch2>Long Bargaining Process\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Despite ongoing talks, and the involvement of State Superintendent Tony Thurmond, who participated in Friday’s negotiations, tensions between the two sides have been ratcheting up. Leading into Sunday’s talks, union president Ku’e Angeles released a statement calling Superintendent Arlando Smith a “dictator who is unwilling to compromise and is hurting teachers by keeping them out on strike.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a follow-up statement, Smith countered, “It is a sign of desperation when leaders such as Mr. Angeles continue to misrepresent the truth, misstate the facts, incite violence, incivility and hate, then deny that is what he is doing.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ku’e Angeles said that while some progress has been made, the district’s current offer is “not anything we could consider.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He 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 the future budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think we’re asking for something that would come come close to bankrupting the district,” he said. “I’m hoping that we can come to terms. This is a critical week.”\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>The New Haven strike follows a series of recent high-profile walkouts in larger districts across the country, including in Los Angeles and Oakland earlier this year, both of which were resolved within two weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ku’e Angeles said that despite the strike’s duration, almost all teachers have continued to picket outside their schools, and remain committed to holding the line until a fair deal is reached. Teachers who need financial assistance can dip into the union’s strike fund, which now has about $20,000 in donations from supporters, he said. Additionally, a local credit union is offering no-interest loans of up to $2,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For teachers, 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 on Friday. “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, everyday,” he said. “Even graduation is in question right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>A resolution to decriminalize certain natural psychedelic plants and fungi — such as “magic” mushrooms — was approved by an Oakland City Council committee Tuesday night and is expected to go to the full council for a vote on June 4.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the measure passes, Oakland would become the second city in the country to decriminalize entheogenic plants, \u003ca href=\"https://www.apnews.com/52a82fbd262b49b1ad035c4e4919e513\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">following Denver earlier this month\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposal would make the “investigation and arrest of individuals involved with the adult use of entheogenic plants on the federal Schedule 1 list be amongst the lowest priority for the city of Oakland.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re here to fix a wrong that never should have occurred,” said Carlos Plazola, chair of Decriminalize Nature Oakland, which was sponsoring the resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"forum_2010101871313\" label='On KQED's Forum']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plazola gave a presentation on the proposal Tuesday night to the Oakland City Council’s public safety committee, which ultimately passed the resolution with three votes and one abstention. The presentation included a number of doctors speaking on the potential mental health benefits of entheogenic plants and nearly an hour of public testimony — and one standing ovation — largely in support of decriminalization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They should never have been Schedule 1 substances in the first place based on any sort of scientific evidence,” said Dr. Kelan Thomas, a psychiatric pharmacist. Thomas told the committee he had published one of the first review papers on clinical trials with psychedelics and, while there have only been limited studies so far, the plants have been found to be incredibly effective in treating mental health issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s some evidence that one of the active components in psilocybin mushrooms can be used as a medical treatment in some patients, but this is also based off studies that have been small or very preliminary,” said Dr. Brian Anderson \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101871313/oakland-considers-decriminalizing-psychedelic-mushrooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">on KQED’s Forum\u003c/a> on Wednesday. Anderson is a psychiatrist at San Francisco General Hospital who has done studies on the use of psychedelic plants in religious ceremonies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" citation=\"Oakland Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan\"]‘Richard Nixon launched a war [on drugs] that we all know is stupid, racist, wasteful and expensive, and it is long past time for us to continue fighting Nixon’s war for him.’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Anderson noted that trials have shown these plants work distinctly differently from other available treatments for mental health. Psychedelic mushrooms’ effects on depression, for instance, can be large, when used as a form of drug-assisted psychotherapy. But this has been tested only on a few hundred patients in the last few years in the U.S. and maybe a couple of thousand in clinical trials in the last 20 years, he said. “It’s a little early to think we’ll be able to get FDA permission at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that’s far from what is being proposed in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is about decriminalization. This is not about legalizing and being able to go get it from your physician,” said Anderson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While proponents argue psychedelic plants and fungi can ease depression and anxiety, and can even be used to treat cancer patients, critics have concerns about educating the public on safe use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things I’m focused on is that we introduce things the right way,” said Councilwoman Loren Taylor, who ultimately abstained from the vote. “How we deploy and how we support safe use and responsible use [is] a big piece for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"futureofyou_441705\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although Taylor said he’s supportive of how valuable psychedelic plants can be in certain settings, he’s also concerned about making sure mushrooms don’t become a fad with high school kids or get into the hands of those who are vulnerable or susceptible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a concern that Plazola, who is sponsoring the measure, acknowledged both in his presentation to the committee and on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101871313/oakland-considers-decriminalizing-psychedelic-mushrooms\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">KQED’s Forum Wednesday morning\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s really about education,” Plazola said on Forum. At the meeting Tuesday night, he presented an education resource guide and a plan for how his organization and others would reach out to Oakland residents over the next two years to provide support and information. For example, he said, they would advise anyone with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder to consult with a doctor before taking entheogenic plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plazola, however, also argued that the criminalization of these plants has contributed to mass incarceration based on “irrational fears.” At the same time, he said, the mental health crisis has also hit those communities who do not have access to these resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"arts_13858117\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The question that people should be asking themselves is, ‘What did the world look like before [these plants] were criminalized?'” he said. There is a long history of different plants being used in various religious ceremonies throughout the world, like ayahuasca tea among certain groups in Brazil or peyote among indigenous peoples in Mexico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Councilwoman Rebecca Kaplan agreed with the assessment that the plants and fungi never should have been criminalized in the first place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Richard Nixon launched a war [on drugs] that we all know is stupid, racist, wasteful and expensive, and it is long past time for us to continue fighting Nixon’s war for him,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Police Department said they have dealt with 19 cases of suspected psychedelic mushrooms over the last five years, and were not certain about cases of other plants listed in the resolution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If it passes, Plazola said Decriminalize Nature Oakland hopes to use the measure as a model for other cities and states.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Decriminalization in Denver was passed by ballot, with 51 percent of the vote. A similar measure is likely to be on \u003ca href=\"https://www.wweek.com/news/state/2019/04/03/why-stop-at-one-campaign-to-legalize-psychedelic-mushrooms-oregon-has-two-and-they-dont-get-along/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the ballot in Oregon in the fall of 2020\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

Psychedelic mushrooms’ effects on depression, for instance, can be large, when used as a form of drug-assisted psychotherapy. But this has been tested only on a few hundred patients in the last few years in the U.S. and maybe a couple of thousand in clinical trials in the last 20 years, he said. “It’s a little early to think we’ll be able to get FDA permission at this time.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, that’s far from what is being proposed in Oakland.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is about decriminalization. This is not about legalizing and being able to go get it from your physician,” said Anderson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While proponents argue psychedelic plants and fungi can ease depression and anxiety, and can even be used to treat cancer patients, critics have concerns about educating the public on safe use.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“One of the things I’m focused on is that we introduce things the right way,” said Councilwoman Loren Taylor, who ultimately abstained from the vote. “How we deploy and how we support safe use and responsible use [is] a big piece for me.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

At the meeting Tuesday night, he presented an education resource guide and a plan for how his organization and others would reach out to Oakland residents over the next two years to provide support and information. For example, he said, they would advise anyone with schizophrenia or bipolar disorder to consult with a doctor before taking entheogenic plants.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Plazola, however, also argued that the criminalization of these plants has contributed to mass incarceration based on “irrational fears.” At the same time, he said, the mental health crisis has also hit those communities who do not have access to these resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Durante’s great-grandfather opened the store in 1897. \u003ccite>(Ryan Levi/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>“Then after World War II people started moving out to the suburbs,” said Elena Durante, owner of Ratto’s, which was founded in Old Oakland by Durante’s great-grandfather in 1897. “Things started to go downhill a little bit in the ’50s. And then by the ’60s this area was largely considered Skid Row, and there weren’t very many retail businesses on this street.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even though the neighborhood was struggling, many of Old Oakland’s original buildings from the 19th century still remained. One writer in the 1970s described them as “the most distinguished composition of late Victorian architecture west of the Mississippi.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Old Oakland Rediscovered\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>These were the buildings that caught the eye of Glenn Storek, a young architecture student from UC Berkeley, when he first visited Oakland’s old downtown in the early 1960s for one of his classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That was astounding to me to see those buildings,” Storek said of his first time seeing what was then known as Victorian Row. “It just burned an image into my brain.”[aside tag='bay-curious' label='Looking for More Bay Curious?']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By the early 1970s, many of the Victorians that had so enthralled Storek had been condemned and padlocked. Storek by then was a practicing architect specializing in historical rehabilitation, and a friend called him to tell him that one of the buildings was for sale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We looked at it pretty skeptically and thought, ‘Maybe this is something that could be saved, and maybe we ought to just figure out a way to do it,’ ” Storek said. “So that’s how it started.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Storek and his friend bought that building and another across the street a few months later. But they knew that even if they restored them, it would be hard to find commercial tenants who’d want to move into a neighborhood filled with condemned and decaying buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They went through the neighborhood asking the other building owners if they’d be interested in being part of a restoration project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They laughed at us,” Storek said. “They just said, ‘Are you crazy?’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At the time, it was a lot easier to destroy a neighborhood than to preserve one. It was the era of redevelopment and urban renewal projects, and cities and developers regularly leveled entire neighborhoods, which were often home to communities of color.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Storek feared the same thing would happen to the historic business district in Old Oakland.

The Department of Social Services went on to extend the certification over the next several years as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Weston, a CDSS spokesman, said Glen Mills eventually completed a plan of correction by training its staff on the appropriate use of restraints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Macallair, executive director of the San Francisco-based Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, says California regulators may have been reluctant to hold Glen Mills accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, he said, that’s because of the limited number of placement options the state has. But it’s also because abuses are not uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s some reluctance to push too hard, to open too many doors or look under too many rugs,” Macallair said. “If we were to pull the curtain back all the way, we’d have to shut the entire system down, because these are the kinds of things that happen in these places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, \u003ca href=\"https://www.philly.com/crime/a/glen-mills-schools-pa-abuse-juvenile-investigation-20190220.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Inquirer’s story\u003c/a> pulled the curtain back on numerous incidents in which teens sent to Glen Mills were battered and brutalized by the school’s staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘There’s some reluctance to push too hard, to open too many doors or look under too many rugs.

In another case, the Inquirer said, a teen required stitches in his back after a staff member pushed him through a plate glass window. Another reported episode involved a counselor stepping on a boy’s face, breaking his jaw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Inquirer story led to calls for the school to close and raised questions over whether Pennsylvania regulators had ignored abuse at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 16 juveniles from California were among the hundreds pulled out of the school after it lost its Pennsylvania licenses, according to Ali Fogarty, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last Friday, Weston told KQED that state social services officials have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Glen Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outcome of that probe could lead California regulators to revoke the school’s license to take in kids from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Santa Cruz Abuse Case\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the boys profiled in the Philadelphia Inquirer series was Nathan Thomas, who was 16 when he was sent to Glen Mills from Santa Cruz in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas told the paper that counselors liked to bash students’ heads into the door of a refrigerator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said one day a counselor overhead him talking with another boy about abuse at the facility. The staff member took him to the refrigerator, which was dented by the heads of his fellow students. Thomas said the staff member slammed his head into the door, choked him and spit in his face. A second counselor slapped him, Thomas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason Hoppin, a Santa Cruz County spokesman, said he could not comment on specific abuse allegations. But he added that probation staff occasionally hear complaints of abuse during state-mandated monthly visits to facilities outside California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those cases, Santa Cruz officials refer the complaints to child protective agencies in the jurisdictions where the facilities are located, Hoppin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have given a client a code word to use to relay any concerns he may have had about his situation,” Hoppin said. “We hate to hear about this kind of stuff, and we act quickly and thoroughly when we do hear complaints like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county has sent eight juvenile offenders to Glen Mills in the last decade, Hoppin said. He added that the county has a limited number of beds in its own jurisdiction and few options statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We use out-of-state group homes as a last resort. Santa Cruz County would prefer to keep kids locally,” Hoppin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Bay Area Counties \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco officials have sent at least 30 boys to Glen Mills over the last decade, according to the city’s top juvenile probation official, who said he hasn’t heard of problems from any of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We actually were very fond of Glen Mills,” said Allen Nance, San Francisco’s chief probation officer. “In fact, among our juvenile justice practitioners, Glen Mills was one of the more popular placement sites for some of our most difficult-to-place youth.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The city placed juveniles in the Pennsylvania school because in-state facilities failed to meet their needs, Nance said. Some of the kids in the system who have dealt with extreme trauma or have been diagnosed with “conduct disorder” were sent to Glen Mills, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When San Francisco probation staff made their required monthly visits to Glen Mills, Nance said, there were never any complaints of abuse or neglect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Santa Cruz County, San Francisco stopped using Glen Mills in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The incidents of concern came up long after we had discontinued our utilization of Glen Mills,” Nance said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nance said his department wanted to keep kids closer to home, reduce the number of out-of-state facilities it uses and choose others that offer more clinical services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara County sent around 45 boys to Glen Mills between 2002 and 2018, according to Michael Simms, deputy chief of the county probation department’s juvenile service division.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Simms did not answer specific questions about how many complaints the county got from youth sent to Glen Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We always follow up immediately on any credible accusations, which is consistent with our current response,” Simms said in an emailed statement. “We expect our youth to be treated with exemplary care and will not allow them to remain in any environment that does not provide such care.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In \u003ca href=\"http://ccld.ca.gov/res/pdf/GM14.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014\u003c/a> Alameda County had eight boys at Glen Mills and in \u003ca href=\"http://ccld.ca.gov/res/pdf/GM15.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2015\u003c/a> the county had 13 teens at the facility, according to state reports.

County officials did not respond to requests for comment, but a county official disclosed two investigations into abuse complaints at Glen Mills during a Commission for Institutional Inspections \u003ca href=\"http://file.lacounty.gov/SDSInter/bos/supdocs/117121.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">meeting\u003c/a> in 2017.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That was the same year that, according to the Inquirer, a 17-year-old Los Angeles boy tried to run away from the 800-acre facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The newspaper reported that staff found the boy in the woods and took him to a school stairwell, where four counselors took turns sitting on his chest. The staff choked and punched him, the Inquirer said. He told the paper he could barely leave his bed for weeks.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have sent male youth to this facility for well over a decade,” said TR Merickel, Kern County’s chief probation officer, who estimated that around 40 boys from the county have stayed at Glen Mills during that time.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have never received any reports or allegations of staff abuse from the youth placed there,” Merickel said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Joaquin County has averaged between five and seven youths per year at Glen Mills since 1999, according to Steve Jackson, a county chief probation officer.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“San Joaquin County takes all allegations of abuse very seriously,” Jackson said. “At the time of this news article our county had one youth in the program who was getting ready to graduate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jackson said his agency was not aware of any complaints from young people it sent to Glen Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jeff Kettering, Merced County’s chief probation officer, said the county sent several juveniles to Glen Mills and heard only positive feedback about the facility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials at the other county probation offices did not respond to requests for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>How Out-of-State Placement Works\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 1998 California law requires state regulators to certify out-of-state facilities where juveniles are placed and directs the Department of Social Services to investigate allegations of abuse at those locations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The next year the department first certified Glen Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Currently, there are more than two dozen certified group homes in 10 states where county social services and probation departments can place foster children and juvenile wards “whose needs cannot be met” in California facilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Every time a kid from California is placed out of state by the juvenile court, the court has to make a finding on the record that there is no place in California that can meet their kids’ needs,” said Jim Salio, chief probation officer in San Luis Obispo County and the former president of the Chief Probation Officers of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some youth advocates say California probation officials use facilities like Glen Mills to send tough-to-treat teens as far away as possible.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They want to get them out of town,” said Macallair with the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice. “Sending them to the East Coast is one way. It takes the problem off your hands.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Counties pay most out-of-California facilities between $6,000 and $9,000 a month per placement, according to state regulators and county officials. That money is made up of federal, state and county funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You would think that in California we would have programs that could meet the needs of children in California and we wouldn’t have to send them out of state. But that’s not true,” said Salio.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s kind of mind-blowing. How come California can’t meet the needs of their own children? What are we missing in our system?” he asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Salio said county probation officials and the state should invest in keeping kids closer to their own communities and move away from the group-home model to short-term residential treatment programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Juvenile Advocates \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Advocates who are pressing for juvenile justice reform agree. They say local probation officials should not be sending juveniles all the way across the country.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In the juvenile justice context, it is much better to serve students within their communities, within smaller local facilities,” said Mozaffar, of the Juvenile Law Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>McInerney, of the Education Law Center, said long-distance transfers of young people go against efforts to make juvenile justice rehabilitative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we should be doing is ensuring that there are options within the community, smaller settings where there can be better oversight,” McInerney said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mozaffar and McInerney say Californians who stayed at Glen Mills have not reported abuses to them yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We heard of extreme fear from everyone that if they told someone, that things would be worse for them,” Mozaffar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A representative for Glen Mills did not respond to a request for comment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school disputes the allegations of wrongdoing and has \u003ca href=\"https://www.philly.com/news/glen-mills-schools-appeal-emergency-removal-order-pennsylvania-abuse-students-20190404.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">appealed\u003c/a> the decision by Pennsylvania regulators to revoke its permits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Clarification: This story originally reported that several dozen juveniles from California were pulled from Glen Mills in March. That’s because a California Department of Social Service spokesman said there were 36 juveniles at the school in 2018.

The Department of Social Services went on to extend the certification over the next several years as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Michael Weston, a CDSS spokesman, said Glen Mills eventually completed a plan of correction by training its staff on the appropriate use of restraints.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Daniel Macallair, executive director of the San Francisco-based Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice, says California regulators may have been reluctant to hold Glen Mills accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In part, he said, that’s because of the limited number of placement options the state has. But it’s also because abuses are not uncommon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s some reluctance to push too hard, to open too many doors or look under too many rugs,” Macallair said. “If we were to pull the curtain back all the way, we’d have to shut the entire system down, because these are the kinds of things that happen in these places.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In February, \u003ca href=\"https://www.philly.com/crime/a/glen-mills-schools-pa-abuse-juvenile-investigation-20190220.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Inquirer’s story\u003c/a> pulled the curtain back on numerous incidents in which teens sent to Glen Mills were battered and brutalized by the school’s staff.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignright\">‘There’s some reluctance to push too hard, to open too many doors or look under too many rugs.

In another case, the Inquirer said, a teen required stitches in his back after a staff member pushed him through a plate glass window. Another reported episode involved a counselor stepping on a boy’s face, breaking his jaw.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Inquirer story led to calls for the school to close and raised questions over whether Pennsylvania regulators had ignored abuse at the school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In March 16 juveniles from California were among the hundreds pulled out of the school after it lost its Pennsylvania licenses, according to Ali Fogarty, a spokeswoman for the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last Friday, Weston told KQED that state social services officials have launched an investigation into the circumstances surrounding Glen Mills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The outcome of that probe could lead California regulators to revoke the school’s license to take in kids from the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Santa Cruz Abuse Case\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the boys profiled in the Philadelphia Inquirer series was Nathan Thomas, who was 16 when he was sent to Glen Mills from Santa Cruz in 2011.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas told the paper that counselors liked to bash students’ heads into the door of a refrigerator.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said one day a counselor overhead him talking with another boy about abuse at the facility.

A second counselor slapped him, Thomas said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jason Hoppin, a Santa Cruz County spokesman, said he could not comment on specific abuse allegations. But he added that probation staff occasionally hear complaints of abuse during state-mandated monthly visits to facilities outside California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In those cases, Santa Cruz officials refer the complaints to child protective agencies in the jurisdictions where the facilities are located, Hoppin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have given a client a code word to use to relay any concerns he may have had about his situation,” Hoppin said. “We hate to hear about this kind of stuff, and we act quickly and thoroughly when we do hear complaints like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county has sent eight juvenile offenders to Glen Mills in the last decade, Hoppin said. He added that the county has a limited number of beds in its own jurisdiction and few options statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We use out-of-state group homes as a last resort.

Some of the kids in the system who have dealt with extreme trauma or have been diagnosed with “conduct disorder” were sent to Glen Mills, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When San Francisco probation staff made their required monthly visits to Glen Mills, Nance said, there were never any complaints of abuse or neglect.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like Santa Cruz County, San Francisco stopped using Glen Mills in 2016.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The incidents of concern came up long after we had discontinued our utilization of Glen Mills,” Nance said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Outside the housing centers, migrant farmworkers might reside in less-favorable conditions – sleeping in cars, garages, old motels or under tarps in the fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But while the centers resolve the affordable housing problem, they create another: second-class citizenship. \u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>State-mandated annual move\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>A 2016 survey of the housing centers noted that \u003ca href=\"https://cdn.theconversation.com/static_files/files/431/Families_Numbers_Housing_Centers.pdf?1546352412\">more than half\u003c/a> the families residing in centers across the state – 1,037 families to be exact – have school-aged children, many of whom, like Luis Miguel’s sister, are natural-born U.S. citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In late fall or early winter when harvest season ends, families must vacate their apartments and move at least 50 miles away for three to six months. The \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-no-funding/docs/OMS_REGULATIONS_2018.pdf\">rationale behind this rule\u003c/a> is to ensure that the housing serves families who are truly migratory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most families cannot afford unsubsidized housing in California and thus spend the off-season months in their Mexican hometowns. While in Mexico, the youth either miss school or attend inconsistently. “It all depends where the students live,” Migrant Education Program counselor Laura Aguayo says. “Some students don’t have a chance because they live too far away from a school. Others can’t go because the schools don’t take them in.” This is because they will only be enrolled for a couple of months before they return to the U.S., she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means that each year, school-aged children living with their families in California’s migrant family housing centers, many of whom are U.S. citizens, miss between three to six months of schooling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11743302\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/file-20190425-121245-13e809i-800x598.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11743302\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A housing center or migrant farmworker families in Merced County, California. \u003ccite>(Housing Authoirty, County of Merced)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Moving makes things complicated’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Migrant education counselors, administrators and teachers try to help migrant students make up whatever academic credits they’re missing. But “moving makes things complicated,” says Luis Miguel. “We lose a lot of time, and it’s hard to concentrate.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The summer of his junior year, Luis Miguel got so discouraged by the routine of moves and having to make up credits that he lost motivation and began to veer off the path to graduation. To help students like Luis Miguel make up credits, California has developed an online program called \u003ca href=\"http://cyberhigh.org/\">Cyber High\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Cyber High has its own issues. “There are a lot of internet problems,” Aguayo explains. “All the schools in California are using Cyber High so the system slows down.

The \u003ca href=\"http://www.hcd.ca.gov/grants-funding/active-no-funding/docs/OMS_REGULATIONS_2018.pdf\">rationale behind this rule\u003c/a> is to ensure that the housing serves families who are truly migratory.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Most families cannot afford unsubsidized housing in California and thus spend the off-season months in their Mexican hometowns. While in Mexico, the youth either miss school or attend inconsistently. “It all depends where the students live,” Migrant Education Program counselor Laura Aguayo says. “Some students don’t have a chance because they live too far away from a school. Others can’t go because the schools don’t take them in.” This is because they will only be enrolled for a couple of months before they return to the U.S., she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This means that each year, school-aged children living with their families in California’s migrant family housing centers, many of whom are U.S. citizens, miss between three to six months of schooling.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11743302\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/04/file-20190425-121245-13e809i-800x598.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"598\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11743302\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A housing center or migrant farmworker families in Merced County, California. \u003ccite>(Housing Authoirty, County of Merced)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>‘Moving makes things complicated’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Migrant education counselors, administrators and teachers try to help migrant students make up whatever academic credits they’re missing.

Since starting as principal at East Union in 2015, Mora has placed at least one Spanish-speaking administrator in each of the school’s three main offices. “It’s about creating a belief system and a culture,” Mora says. “It’s making sure that when the students come back and see our registrar, that she welcomes them in their language.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite these efforts at cultural sensitivity and holistic education, students in migratory conditions are still called “camp kids” or terms even more derogatory by their peers – potentially fueling the belief that they don’t belong.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But inside a two-bedroom apartment at the migrant family housing center, Luis Miguel and two friends craft their own sense of belonging. Together, they formed a hip-hop trio, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCmeEEam4bNB__l74VQTFwTg\">95231 Productions\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure class=\"align-center zoomable\">\n \u003ca href=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/271104/original/file-20190425-121216-13j2wfq.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=1000&fit=clip\">\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https://images.theconversation.com/files/271104/original/file-20190425-121216-13j2wfq.png?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&q=45&auto=format&w=754&fit=clip\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption>\n \u003cspan class=\"caption\">Luis Miguel and 95231 Productions record in a room in a migrant family housing center apartment.\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n \u003cspan class=\"attribution\">\u003cspan class=\"source\">Aggie Ebrahimi Bazaz\u003c/span>, \u003ca class=\"license\" href=\"http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/\">CC BY\u003c/a>\u003c/span>\u003cbr>\n \u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The group reflects on their experiences growing up as the children of farmworking parents, their struggles against racism, and their work to craft an identity that reflects their heritage.
