In order to hire teachers on emergency permits each year, school districts must preemptively declare with the state the number of under-prepared teachers they might need and certify that they will first try to recruit fully credentialed teachers.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Critics said that system has allowed districts to hire cheaper, under-prepared teachers en masse when fully trained teachers are available. California schools \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2012/edu/teacher-layoffs/teacher-layoffs-032212.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cut about 32,000 teachers\u003c/a> between the 2007-08 and 2010-11 school years, the state legislative analyst reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state issued 2,888 emergency permits in 2010-11, according to a commission \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-5B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report [PDF]\u003c/a>. Eleven years earlier, when efforts to reduce class sizes led to a spike in hiring of under-prepared teachers, roughly 35,000 teachers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/EPW_2000_2001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employed on emergency permits [PDF]\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has come a long way in ensuring that all students have access to a fully prepared teacher, but we still have loopholes to close, and this is one of them,” said Tara Kini, a senior staff attorney at Public Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School officials said the current system works and allows schools to staff classes in true emergencies, such as an auto accident that might suddenly put a teacher on medical leave. A teacher on an emergency permit is preferable to a rotation of substitutes, who are limited to serving 30 days in general education and 20 days in special education, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instructional continuity, not only would students not learn, it really would not be safe in the environments that we work in” to rely on substitutes, David Simmons, director of human resources for the Ventura County Office of Education, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials also said the public meetings at which governing boards must approve districts’ declarations of need for teachers served as checks on employing under-prepared teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our community folks are saying, ‘We want the folks who have the right credentials, the right qualifications’ – they hold us accountable to that,” Teri Burns, senior director of policy and programs at the California School Boards Association, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission did not have available the overall number of emergency permits that districts estimate in their declarations of need, but records from some districts showed estimates were greater than actual hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mt. Diablo Unified School District, for example, \u003ca href=\"http://esb.mdusd.k12.ca.us/attachments/d4f6a6a8-1fe3-4827-8155-07dab0550659.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said it would need [PDF]\u003c/a> 100 emergency permits for teachers without English language learner authorization and 12 for those without bilingual authorization in the 2010-11 school year. It \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/TSR_2010_11_Full_Report_Final_15March2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">later hired [PDF]\u003c/a> nine teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and one for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Unified School District \u003ca href=\"http://legistar.granicus.com/ousd/attachments/ax/5f/5f89b5a4-ea0d-4289-88be-054700ef9d4c.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated [PDF]\u003c/a> it would need 150 emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 30 for bilingual authorization that same year. It hired 26 teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 10 for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To supporters of the current system, such numbers show that schools are hiring teachers on emergency permits only when necessary. To critics, the numbers underscore the argument for individual emergency permit applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California required individual applications for emergency permits until 1994, when it moved to districtwide declarations of need. It also used to offer more types of emergency permits, which for many years were called credentials despite their lower training requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, California replaced most emergency permits with short-term staff and provisional internship permits. One-year short-term staff permits are for unanticipated staffing needs and are not renewable. Provisional internship permits may be renewed once, but the commission also may decide \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-agenda.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">today\u003c/a> to eliminate this possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If schools can make do with fewer or no renewals for those permits, Kini said, “why wouldn’t we also apply it to emergency permits?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission’s report shows that, with the exception of teacher librarian credentials that require completion of longer training programs, authorizations to teach English learners, bilingual courses and resource specialist programs can be earned within three years – and they typically are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the current five-year limit on emergency permits is “very appropriate when needed,” Derek Ramage, director of certificated workforce management for the Los Angeles Unified School District, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kini disagreed. “As a parent, and I am a parent of a kid in public school, I don’t want my student being taught by one of those (emergency permit) teachers for five years. I don’t think any parent wants that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\n",

California schools \u003ca href=\"http://www.lao.ca.gov/reports/2012/edu/teacher-layoffs/teacher-layoffs-032212.aspx\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">cut about 32,000 teachers\u003c/a> between the 2007-08 and 2010-11 school years, the state legislative analyst reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state issued 2,888 emergency permits in 2010-11, according to a commission \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-5B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">report [PDF]\u003c/a>. Eleven years earlier, when efforts to reduce class sizes led to a spike in hiring of under-prepared teachers, roughly 35,000 teachers were \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/EPW_2000_2001.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">employed on emergency permits [PDF]\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“California has come a long way in ensuring that all students have access to a fully prepared teacher, but we still have loopholes to close, and this is one of them,” said Tara Kini, a senior staff attorney at Public Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>School officials said the current system works and allows schools to staff classes in true emergencies, such as an auto accident that might suddenly put a teacher on medical leave. A teacher on an emergency permit is preferable to a rotation of substitutes, who are limited to serving 30 days in general education and 20 days in special education, they said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For instructional continuity, not only would students not learn, it really would not be safe in the environments that we work in” to rely on substitutes, David Simmons, director of human resources for the Ventura County Office of Education, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials also said the public meetings at which governing boards must approve districts’ declarations of need for teachers served as checks on employing under-prepared teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Our community folks are saying, ‘We want the folks who have the right credentials, the right qualifications’ – they hold us accountable to that,” Teri Burns, senior director of policy and programs at the California School Boards Association, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission did not have available the overall number of emergency permits that districts estimate in their declarations of need, but records from some districts showed estimates were greater than actual hires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Mt. Diablo Unified School District, for example, \u003ca href=\"http://esb.mdusd.k12.ca.us/attachments/d4f6a6a8-1fe3-4827-8155-07dab0550659.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">said it would need [PDF]\u003c/a> 100 emergency permits for teachers without English language learner authorization and 12 for those without bilingual authorization in the 2010-11 school year. It \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/reports/TSR_2010_11_Full_Report_Final_15March2012.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">later hired [PDF]\u003c/a> nine teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and one for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Oakland Unified School District \u003ca href=\"http://legistar.granicus.com/ousd/attachments/ax/5f/5f89b5a4-ea0d-4289-88be-054700ef9d4c.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">estimated [PDF]\u003c/a> it would need 150 emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 30 for bilingual authorization that same year. It hired 26 teachers on emergency permits for English language learner authorization and 10 for bilingual authorization.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To supporters of the current system, such numbers show that schools are hiring teachers on emergency permits only when necessary. To critics, the numbers underscore the argument for individual emergency permit applications.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California required individual applications for emergency permits until 1994, when it moved to districtwide declarations of need. It also used to offer more types of emergency permits, which for many years were called credentials despite their lower training requirements.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2005, California replaced most emergency permits with short-term staff and provisional internship permits. One-year short-term staff permits are for unanticipated staffing needs and are not renewable. Provisional internship permits may be renewed once, but the commission also may decide \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-12/2012-12-agenda.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">today\u003c/a> to eliminate this possibility.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If schools can make do with fewer or no renewals for those permits, Kini said, “why wouldn’t we also apply it to emergency permits?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission’s report shows that, with the exception of teacher librarian credentials that require completion of longer training programs, authorizations to teach English learners, bilingual courses and resource specialist programs can be earned within three years – and they typically are.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the current five-year limit on emergency permits is “very appropriate when needed,” Derek Ramage, director of certificated workforce management for the Los Angeles Unified School District, said at the September meeting.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kini disagreed. “As a parent, and I am a parent of a kid in public school, I don’t want my student being taught by one of those (emergency permit) teachers for five years. I don’t think any parent wants that,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv>\u003c/div>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(AP) — After a season filled with dramatic comebacks and memorable endings, the Oakland Athletics now expect the unexpected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/Oakland-As-logo.jpg\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-78035\" title=\"Oakland A's logo\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2012/10/Oakland-As-logo.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"194\" height=\"194\">\u003c/a>Two runs down and three outs away from their season ending, the A’s staged their most magical finish yet.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seth Smith hit a game-tying two-run double off closer Jose Valverde in the ninth inning and Coco Crisp capped Oakland’s rally with a two-out RBI single as the A’s staved off elimination for a second straight night with a 4-3 victory over the Detroit Tigers in Game 4 Wednesday night.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve heard a lot of people say we’re not smart enough to know when to lose a game like most people do,” said Josh Reddick, who started the rally with a single. “We’ve been battling till the 27th out all year and we’re not going to stop now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s rode a major league-leading 14 walkoff wins in the regular season to an improbable AL West title. Those paled in comparison to No. 15, which set up a win-or-go-home Game 5 against Justin Verlander and the Tigers.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reddick led off the ninth with a single just under the glove of diving second baseman Omar Infante. Josh Donaldson followed with a double off the wall in left-center and both runners scored on Smith’s double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a confidence,” manager Bob Melvin said. “We’ve done it so many times so there’s always going to be that confidence until we make that last out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two outs later, Crisp lined a single and Smith scored easily when right fielder Avisail Garcia couldn’t handle the ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That set off a raucous celebration near first base as the A’s poured out of the dugout to mob Crisp, who was the recipient of a whipped cream pie that became a regular occurrence in this remarkable season in Oakland. This marked the second time the A’s erased a two-run deficit in the ninth inning to win a postseason game, the other coming in Game 5 of the 1929 World Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s amazing,” Crisp said. “The guys in front of me obviously did a fantastic job of getting on base. … This club, we’ve been battling the whole year, giving 100 percent, and these walkoffs have been our MO this year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan Cook retired four batters for the win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s, who have the lowest payroll in baseball, need just one more surprising result to win their second postseason series since 1990. Rookie Jarrod Parker will take the mound in Game 5 on Thursday night against Verlander, the reigning AL Cy Young winner and MVP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why this is the greatest game of all,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “It looked like we were going to get it. We didn’t do it. We didn’t quite get the 27 outs, that’s part of the game. You get tested all the time in this game. And this is a good test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tigers looked to be in prime position to advance to their second straight ALCS and have a rested Verlander for Game 1 when they took a 3-1 lead into the ninth behind a strong start from Max Scherzer and a homer from Prince Fielder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the A’s are one win away from repeating last week’s three-game sweep of Texas that gave them the AL West title on the final day of the regular season. After losing the first two games in Detroit, the A’s won 2-0 in Game 3 and are looking to become the eighth team to rally from two games down to win a best-of-five series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Giants will have a shot to do it as well earlier Thursday when they face Cincinnati in Game 5 of their NL division series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scherzer, who was dealing with shoulder, deltoid and ankle injuries late in the season, looked in top form against the A’s. He allowed just one baserunner in the first four innings and struck out seven of the first 15 batters before running into his first trouble in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith worked a two-out walk and went to third on Derek Norris’ opposite-field blooper down the right-field line. But Scherzer responded by getting Cliff Pennington to chase an offspeed pitch in the dirt for his eighth strikeout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s finally got to Scherzer for an unearned run in the sixth. Crisp reached when Fielder misplayed a hard grounder to first base into a two-base error. Crisp advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Stephen Drew’s double to right-center. But the A’s ran themselves out of a potential big inning when third-base coach Mike Gallego waved Drew around to third, where he was easily caught on the relay for the first out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octavio Dotel and Phil Coke both retired a batter to get out of the sixth and Al Alburquerque pitched a perfect seventh in his first appearance since his memorable kiss of the baseball on a comebacker by Yoenis Cespedes in Game 2. Joaquin Benoit escaped a first-and-second jam in the eighth by striking out Brandon Moss, but Valverde couldn’t close it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the toughest moment in my whole career,” Valverde said. “I had everything. These guys hit it. There’s nothing I can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>NOTES: This is the seventh postseason walkoff win for the A’s in franchise history and first since Ramon Hernandez won it with a squeeze bunt in the 2003 division series against Boston. … A.J. Griffin allowed two runs in 5-plus innings. He was the third Oakland rookie pitcher to start a game this series, the most ever by a team in a single postseason. The A’s used just two rookie starting pitchers in 147 postseason games before this year:: Joe Bush in the 1913 World Series and Barry Zito in the 2000 division series. … Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera has not driven in a run in the series. … Reddick has struck out eight times in the four games, setting an Oakland record for most in a postseason series.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Those paled in comparison to No. 15, which set up a win-or-go-home Game 5 against Justin Verlander and the Tigers.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Reddick led off the ninth with a single just under the glove of diving second baseman Omar Infante. Josh Donaldson followed with a double off the wall in left-center and both runners scored on Smith’s double.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s a confidence,” manager Bob Melvin said. “We’ve done it so many times so there’s always going to be that confidence until we make that last out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Two outs later, Crisp lined a single and Smith scored easily when right fielder Avisail Garcia couldn’t handle the ball.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That set off a raucous celebration near first base as the A’s poured out of the dugout to mob Crisp, who was the recipient of a whipped cream pie that became a regular occurrence in this remarkable season in Oakland. This marked the second time the A’s erased a two-run deficit in the ninth inning to win a postseason game, the other coming in Game 5 of the 1929 World Series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s amazing,” Crisp said. “The guys in front of me obviously did a fantastic job of getting on base. … This club, we’ve been battling the whole year, giving 100 percent, and these walkoffs have been our MO this year.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ryan Cook retired four batters for the win.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s, who have the lowest payroll in baseball, need just one more surprising result to win their second postseason series since 1990. Rookie Jarrod Parker will take the mound in Game 5 on Thursday night against Verlander, the reigning AL Cy Young winner and MVP.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s why this is the greatest game of all,” Tigers manager Jim Leyland said. “It looked like we were going to get it. We didn’t do it. We didn’t quite get the 27 outs, that’s part of the game. You get tested all the time in this game. And this is a good test.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Tigers looked to be in prime position to advance to their second straight ALCS and have a rested Verlander for Game 1 when they took a 3-1 lead into the ninth behind a strong start from Max Scherzer and a homer from Prince Fielder.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now the A’s are one win away from repeating last week’s three-game sweep of Texas that gave them the AL West title on the final day of the regular season. After losing the first two games in Detroit, the A’s won 2-0 in Game 3 and are looking to become the eighth team to rally from two games down to win a best-of-five series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The San Francisco Giants will have a shot to do it as well earlier Thursday when they face Cincinnati in Game 5 of their NL division series.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scherzer, who was dealing with shoulder, deltoid and ankle injuries late in the season, looked in top form against the A’s. He allowed just one baserunner in the first four innings and struck out seven of the first 15 batters before running into his first trouble in the fifth.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith worked a two-out walk and went to third on Derek Norris’ opposite-field blooper down the right-field line. But Scherzer responded by getting Cliff Pennington to chase an offspeed pitch in the dirt for his eighth strikeout.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The A’s finally got to Scherzer for an unearned run in the sixth. Crisp reached when Fielder misplayed a hard grounder to first base into a two-base error. Crisp advanced on a wild pitch and scored on Stephen Drew’s double to right-center. But the A’s ran themselves out of a potential big inning when third-base coach Mike Gallego waved Drew around to third, where he was easily caught on the relay for the first out.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octavio Dotel and Phil Coke both retired a batter to get out of the sixth and Al Alburquerque pitched a perfect seventh in his first appearance since his memorable kiss of the baseball on a comebacker by Yoenis Cespedes in Game 2. Joaquin Benoit escaped a first-and-second jam in the eighth by striking out Brandon Moss, but Valverde couldn’t close it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is the toughest moment in my whole career,” Valverde said. “I had everything. These guys hit it. There’s nothing I can do.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The revelation, sparked by errors in state data identified by California Watch, means the state has been using an incorrect baseline as it measures progress at its lowest-performing schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Misassignments, as they’re known, have decreased dramatically since the state agreed to give the problem greater attention at low-performing schools. Unlike higher-performing schools, which are monitored every four years, the lowest-performing schools are monitored annually.\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>The action was one of many stemming from the settlement of \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/400494-williams-v-california-first-amended-complaint.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Williams v. California\u003c/a>, a landmark class-action lawsuit that sought to ensure all students were taught by qualified, credentialed teachers.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The 2005-06 school year was the first year of\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>this increased scrutiny, and the misassignment rate “seemed incredible and insanely high,” said Brooks Allen, director of education advocacy at the ACLU of Southern California and the attorney overseeing the Williams settlement’s implementation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The following year, the state reported that the same low-performing schools had pushed misassignments down to 12 percent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The fact that it dropped off that quickly, that far … it seemed really dramatic,” Allen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the initial scope of the problem is half as large as reported, it still “indicates there was a gigantic problem, and that there was substantial progress made once attention was paid to it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Commission on Teacher Credentialing, which collects and reports misassignment data from counties, will present the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-09/2012-09-5B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">latest figures\u003c/a>\u003ca href=\"http://www.ctc.ca.gov/commission/agendas/2012-09/2012-09-5B.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> [PDF]\u003c/a> at its monthly meeting today. It will also explain the erroneous data from 2005-06, said Erin Sullivan, an assistant consultant in the commission’s office of governmental relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Watch alerted the commission in July to thousands of duplicate records in six years of misassignment data it received through a public records request. The commission responded last month that all records in 2005-06 were duplicated; it could not determine how the error occurred and was unable to reproduce it. Sullivan said that while there were some duplicate records in subsequent years, those duplicates were intentional because of how data was reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission has made changes to its online reporting system “that we expect will seriously mediate if not block the possibility of duplicate reporting by counties and provide us with additional tools for identifying potential duplicate reporting on a more detailed level,” Sullivan said in an email. In an interview, she said a warning message will pop up if a county enters duplicate data and will ask if the entry was intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission provided California Watch with revised data last week, and Sullivan said it would correct previously published reports as well. While the figures show an overall decline in misassignments, they also highlight the problem’s persistence. In 2010-11, the most recent year of data available, 13 percent of certificated staff – more than 12,000 in all, most of whom were teachers – at the lowest-performing schools did not have the appropriate credentials for their assignments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers without the credentials to teach core academic subject areas – English, math, science and social science – composed 20 percent of misassignments in 2010-11. About 13 percent of teachers serving English language learners were not authorized to do so. Seventeen percent of misassignments were for nonteaching program coordinators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall misassignment rates in prior years, based on a different cohort of low-performing schools, were even higher: 18 percent in 2007-08, 14 percent in 2008-09 and 19 percent in 2009-10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why is it that there seems to be this persistent and stubborn … floor at 12, 13, 14 percent that we don’t seem to be able to break through?” Allen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s an issue the Legislature and the commission should address, said John Affeldt, who served as lead counsel on the Williams lawsuit and is a managing attorney at Public Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should be thinking about ways to really get that number down,” he said. “If not 0, 1 or 2 or 3 percent should be exception, not the rule.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affeldt said the misassignment rate was “especially frustrating” in light of the thousands of teachers, many of whom were fully credentialed for their assignments, laid off from California schools in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it’s an issue of just saying times are tough, fiscal budgets are tight, because we’ve actually created an opportunity where there’s a bigger supply that maybe didn’t exist before,” he said. “It seems we should have made more of a dent in the number.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It will also explain the erroneous data from 2005-06, said Erin Sullivan, an assistant consultant in the commission’s office of governmental relations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California Watch alerted the commission in July to thousands of duplicate records in six years of misassignment data it received through a public records request. The commission responded last month that all records in 2005-06 were duplicated; it could not determine how the error occurred and was unable to reproduce it. Sullivan said that while there were some duplicate records in subsequent years, those duplicates were intentional because of how data was reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission has made changes to its online reporting system “that we expect will seriously mediate if not block the possibility of duplicate reporting by counties and provide us with additional tools for identifying potential duplicate reporting on a more detailed level,” Sullivan said in an email. In an interview, she said a warning message will pop up if a county enters duplicate data and will ask if the entry was intentional.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The commission provided California Watch with revised data last week, and Sullivan said it would correct previously published reports as well. While the figures show an overall decline in misassignments, they also highlight the problem’s persistence. In 2010-11, the most recent year of data available, 13 percent of certificated staff – more than 12,000 in all, most of whom were teachers – at the lowest-performing schools did not have the appropriate credentials for their assignments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Teachers without the credentials to teach core academic subject areas – English, math, science and social science – composed 20 percent of misassignments in 2010-11. About 13 percent of teachers serving English language learners were not authorized to do so. Seventeen percent of misassignments were for nonteaching program coordinators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The overall misassignment rates in prior years, based on a different cohort of low-performing schools, were even higher: 18 percent in 2007-08, 14 percent in 2008-09 and 19 percent in 2009-10.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Why is it that there seems to be this persistent and stubborn … floor at 12, 13, 14 percent that we don’t seem to be able to break through?” Allen said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s an issue the Legislature and the commission should address, said John Affeldt, who served as lead counsel on the Williams lawsuit and is a managing attorney at Public Advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We should be thinking about ways to really get that number down,” he said. “If not 0, 1 or 2 or 3 percent should be exception, not the rule.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Affeldt said the misassignment rate was “especially frustrating” in light of the thousands of teachers, many of whom were fully credentialed for their assignments, laid off from California schools in recent years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t think it’s an issue of just saying times are tough, fiscal budgets are tight, because we’ve actually created an opportunity where there’s a bigger supply that maybe didn’t exist before,” he said. “It seems we should have made more of a dent in the number.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
