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 clash with police was livestreamed by some, while others filmed and shared it via social media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this week the newly formed coalition also shut down a City Council education committee meeting. The group has the support of the teachers union, the Oakland Education Association, which is sending members to help with the attempted shutdowns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It's the latest tactic in a drawn-out battle over the OUSD's controversial plan to shutter or merge up to 24 schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Last year, parents and students from Roots International Academy, which was on the chopping block, also took over a school board meeting. Oakland teachers took up Roots' cause, making opposition to school closures part of their rallying cry during a weeklong strike. In support of the striking teachers, the Oakland City Council also voted to oppose school closures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that stopped the district from shuttering Roots at the end of the school year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, parents from Henry J.

"content": "\u003cp>The Department of Education has proposed several key changes to its massive survey that collects data from the nation's public schools on a wide range of civil rights issues.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the changes, the 2019-2020 version of the Civil Rights Data Collection would remove questions that focus on preschool and school finance. The proposals would also add in more questions about sexual assault and bullying based on religion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRDC, as it's known, is a massive trove of self-reported information published every two years by the Education Department's Office for Civil Rights. The data collected is used by the department, education researchers, policymakers and scholars from many fields. Every public school in the country is required to participate, and the government gets data from nearly all of them: more than 96,000 in 2015-16, from around 17,000 school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The proposals for the upcoming survey, which will gather data from this school year, are still under review. The public comment period ends Nov. 18, and the department said the earliest that these proposals could go into effect is 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Here are some of the proposed changes.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What's being added\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>While the CRDC previously compiled information about the number of sexual assaults reported at schools, it didn't distinguish whether those incidents were committed by students or school staff. In addition to collecting that information, the new survey would also track whether a staff member was found responsible, and whether they were reassigned, dismissed or allowed to retire \"prior to final discipline or termination.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department says its reason for adding questions on this topic is \"to ensure it has sufficient data to address rape or attempted rape, and sexual assault cases.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CRDC also already records allegations of bullying and harassment on the basis of religion, but this year's proposed change would break down religiously based bullying into 14 different subgroups, the same ones listed in the \u003ca href=\"https://ucr.fbi.gov/hate-crime-data-collection-guidelines-and-training-manual.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">FBI's hate crime data collection handbook\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department noted that in the 2015-16 data collection, about 8 percent of reported bullying and harassment was based on religion. Breaking down that bullying by religion \"could potentially allow OCR to provide technical assistance where there are patterns of conduct, especially where ethnic or ancestral harassment is combined with directed religious discrimination,\" the department said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What could go away\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The OCR proposed retiring over half the survey questions around early childhood education, including the costs of public preschool, the amount of time students spend in preschool, and information about the student populations served. The change would also remove the requirement that respondents break down preschool enrollment by race.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some researchers worry that this will prevent them from tracking racial disparities in areas like school discipline. The 2013-14 CRDC data, for example, found that black preschool students received one or more out-of-school suspensions at \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2016/09/28/495488716/bias-isnt-just-a-police-problem-its-a-preschool-problem\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3.6 times the rate of their white counterparts\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under the proposed new survey, schools would still provide information about the racial makeup of pre-K students who get suspended, but it would no longer be possible for researchers to see whether that percentage is proportional to the number of students enrolled.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside tag='education' label='More Coverage.']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In published comments, the Education Department said this change and others stem from a desire to reduce the paperwork burden on schools and school districts around the country. A \u003ca href=\"https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/DownloadDocument?objectID=49642801\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 report, \u003c/a>commissioned to improve the CRDC as a whole, noted that in previous data collections, districts had experienced \"unacceptable levels of reporting burden.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Officials at the Department declined to be interviewed for this story because the proposals are still subject to change.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates and researchers have sharply criticized the proposal to remove these questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ary Amerikaner, the vice president for P-12 policy, practice and research at the Education Trust, said eliminating the ability to track suspension data is a huge loss. She noted that her group opposes any form of suspensions for preschoolers, and said the fact that those suspensions disproportionately affect black students is \"extremely problematic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government is also proposing to remove the school-finance portion of its data set. The CRDC previously required schools to report the number of full-time personnel, their salaries and the amount of non-personnel expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department says the move is in response to concerns from schools and districts about the difficulty of reporting such data and about the accuracy of self-reported data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amerikaner worries about these changes, too. It matters, she said, because CRDC data can show how funds are distributed \u003cem>within\u003c/em> a district, and whether certain schools are receiving disproportionately less funding. \"It would be a huge loss for us, as advocates and researchers, if they went away,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of its efforts to reduce the paperwork burden on schools, the OCR also wants to stop tracking the number of first- and second-year teachers in classrooms, as well as information about teacher absenteeism. This, too, raises concerns from some researchers that a key data point, that can highlight inequities in the quality of teaching that students receive, would be eliminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What's staying the same\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One thing the OCR hasn't proposed changing is a question about school-related shootings that, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an NPR investigation\u003c/a> found last year, was wildly inaccurate. Our reporting found that more than two-thirds of the \"incidents\" that schools reported as shootings in the 2015-16 CRDC never happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The errors stemmed from several reasons, including confusion about the phrasing of some questions, the definition of a shooting-related incident, and the fact that schools are required to report similar information to other government agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alexis Marshall is an intern on NPR's Education Desk.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

A \u003ca href=\"https://www.reginfo.gov/public/do/DownloadDocument?objectID=49642801\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2014 report, \u003c/a>commissioned to improve the CRDC as a whole, noted that in previous data collections, districts had experienced \"unacceptable levels of reporting burden.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>(Officials at the Department declined to be interviewed for this story because the proposals are still subject to change.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates and researchers have sharply criticized the proposal to remove these questions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ary Amerikaner, the vice president for P-12 policy, practice and research at the Education Trust, said eliminating the ability to track suspension data is a huge loss. She noted that her group opposes any form of suspensions for preschoolers, and said the fact that those suspensions disproportionately affect black students is \"extremely problematic.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The government is also proposing to remove the school-finance portion of its data set. The CRDC previously required schools to report the number of full-time personnel, their salaries and the amount of non-personnel expenses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Department says the move is in response to concerns from schools and districts about the difficulty of reporting such data and about the accuracy of self-reported data.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amerikaner worries about these changes, too. It matters, she said, because CRDC data can show how funds are distributed \u003cem>within\u003c/em> a district, and whether certain schools are receiving disproportionately less funding. \"It would be a huge loss for us, as advocates and researchers, if they went away,\" she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of its efforts to reduce the paperwork burden on schools, the OCR also wants to stop tracking the number of first- and second-year teachers in classrooms, as well as information about teacher absenteeism. This, too, raises concerns from some researchers that a key data point, that can highlight inequities in the quality of teaching that students receive, would be eliminated.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What's staying the same\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>One thing the OCR hasn't proposed changing is a question about school-related shootings that, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/ed/2018/08/27/640323347/the-school-shootings-that-werent\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an NPR investigation\u003c/a> found last year, was wildly inaccurate. Our reporting found that more than two-thirds of the \"incidents\" that schools reported as shootings in the 2015-16 CRDC never happened.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The errors stemmed from several reasons, including confusion about the phrasing of some questions, the definition of a shooting-related incident, and the fact that schools are required to report similar information to other government agencies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Alexis Marshall is an intern on NPR's Education Desk.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2019 NPR.

"headTitle": "Why Aren’t Migrant Students Enrolling in an Education Program Designed Just for Them? | KQED",
"content": "\u003cp>On a recent fall day at the \u003ca href=\"https://www.sjcoe.org/\">San Joaquin County Office of Education\u003c/a>, groups of children built delicate towers out of playing cards balanced on small tabletop earthquake simulators. Their teacher came around and one by one turned on the simulators as the students waited breathlessly to see which tower would stand the tallest after the shaking stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The class is part of the federally funded \u003ca href=\"https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-migrant-education/migrant-education-program/\">Migrant Education Program\u003c/a>, and the roughly 30 students in attendance were all children of farmworkers. The program offers extra instruction — after school, on weekends and during breaks — to kids who might otherwise fall behind academically as their families move around with the harvest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We learn a lot about science and it helps us get ready for [the] school year,” said fifth grader Alexys Chaves, who added that his favorite part was building robots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over the past decade, the program has seen a significant drop in enrollment across the state and nationally. Those numbers are reflected in the area centered around Stockton, where the program is run by Manuel Nuñez, a regional director of migrant education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first started with this region back in ‘01, we had about 21,000,” Nuñez said. “Currently we’re at about 2,200. So that’s a huge drop off.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"MORE EDUCATION COVERAGE\" tag=\"education\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California, which is home to one in three of the country’s migrant students, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/me/mt/programs.asp\">runs the largest program in the nation\u003c/a>, where 90% of the students are Latino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The reasons for the decline in enrollment are complex, said Nuñez. It’s getting tougher to qualify for the program and there are fewer migrant workers as people take jobs in different fields. Then there’s the political atmosphere: Nuñez said that under the Trump administration, many migrant families are reluctant to sign up, even if their children could benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuñez said they don’t ask about immigration status, but he and others say that fear persists in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many times when we have staff go out and they’re talking to families and interviewing them to qualify for the program, they’re hesitant to give us information,” Nuñez said. “Especially because they know we’re a federal program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Part of what we’re trying to do is empower those parents to support their students in their education,” Nuñez added. “So when we don’t have those parents coming in, they’re losing out on that part. So it’s impacting their students, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Veronica Aguilar, director of the English Learner Support Division at the California Department of Education, said migrant education programs across the state are seeing a similar decline in enrollment. She is concerned the program’s budget could take a hit next year, which could hurt the 82,000 students enrolled statewide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We do anticipate next year seeing some fluctuation only because there are rules that are changing in terms of how the allocation to the states are given,” Aguilar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuñez said he knows first hand how hard migrant labor can be.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I did it from when I was 7 years old until 18,” he said. “When the other kids were happy about summer, my brothers and I were like, ‘Oh, summer.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While Nuñez and his brothers spent the hot summer months working in the fields to help their family, they all participated in the migrant education program during the school year.

Their teacher came around and one by one turned on the simulators as the students waited breathlessly to see which tower would stand the tallest after the shaking stopped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The class is part of the federally funded \u003ca href=\"https://oese.ed.gov/offices/office-of-migrant-education/migrant-education-program/\">Migrant Education Program\u003c/a>, and the roughly 30 students in attendance were all children of farmworkers. The program offers extra instruction — after school, on weekends and during breaks — to kids who might otherwise fall behind academically as their families move around with the harvest.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We learn a lot about science and it helps us get ready for [the] school year,” said fifth grader Alexys Chaves, who added that his favorite part was building robots.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But over the past decade, the program has seen a significant drop in enrollment across the state and nationally. Those numbers are reflected in the area centered around Stockton, where the program is run by Manuel Nuñez, a regional director of migrant education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When I first started with this region back in ‘01, we had about 21,000,” Nuñez said. “Currently we’re at about 2,200.

It’s getting tougher to qualify for the program and there are fewer migrant workers as people take jobs in different fields. Then there’s the political atmosphere: Nuñez said that under the Trump administration, many migrant families are reluctant to sign up, even if their children could benefit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuñez said they don’t ask about immigration status, but he and others say that fear persists in the community.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Many times when we have staff go out and they’re talking to families and interviewing them to qualify for the program, they’re hesitant to give us information,” Nuñez said. “Especially because they know we’re a federal program.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
