"content": "\u003cp>Gov. Gavin Newsom is calling on the California National Guard to help deliver 1,200 small homes for people experiencing homelessness across the state. Newsom’s latest push to address the state’s sprawling homelessness crisis also will provide nearly $1 billion to California cities to help them address unsheltered homelessness and encampments.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As a candidate for governor, Newsom vowed to eliminate chronic homelessness if elected. But under his watch, \u003ca href=\"https://www.huduser.gov/portal/sites/default/files/pdf/2022-AHAR-Part-1.pdf\">the number of Californians living on the streets, in shelters or in cars has grown from around 130,000 in 2018 to more than 171,000 last year (PDF)\u003c/a>, according to data from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The announcement also comes with an updated goal to reduce homelessness by 15% statewide by 2025.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In California, we are using every tool in our toolbox — including the largest-ever deployment of small homes in the state — to move people out of encampments and into housing,” Newsom said in a press release. “We are tackling this issue at the root of the problem by addressing the need to create more housing, faster in California.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California National Guard will assist with preparing and delivering the small homes, which were purchased by the state, to Los Angeles (500 units), San Diego (150), San José (200) and Sacramento (350).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state is expected to begin installing the small homes by fall of this year. Once delivered, local governments will operate, maintain and direct the flow of unhoused people to the homes and services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The new statewide target comes after the governor \u003ca href=\"https://www.gov.ca.gov/2022/11/03/governor-newsom-calls-for-more-aggressive-action-on-homelessness-pauses-latest-round-of-state-funding/\">briefly froze $1 billion in homelessness funding for cities and counties last November\u003c/a> after his administration deemed local plans to bring down homelessness by only 2% by 2024 unacceptable. Local leaders strongly criticized the decision, saying it was counterproductive and that they were given no warning or guidance about how to amend their plans to secure the funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“As a state, we are failing to meet the urgency of this moment,” Newsom said last November. “At this pace, it would take decades to significantly curb homelessness in California. This approach is simply unacceptable.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Following a summit with over 100 mayors two weeks after the announcement to freeze funding, \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11932895/newsom-relents-agrees-to-release-1-billion-in-homelessness-funding-despite-lackluster-local-plans\">the governor reversed course\u003c/a>, releasing the money with the condition that jurisdictions commit to more aggressive plans to reduce street homelessness in the future.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Candice Elder, community advocate, executive director of East Oakland Collective\"]‘Tiny homes are one of the top strategies for getting people out of homelessness … I am astonished to learn that the governor did not designate any tiny homes in Oakland, Berkeley or San Francisco.’[/pullquote]Since 2019, the state has funneled more than $2 billion in flexible spending to local agencies to reduce homelessness through the Homeless Housing, Assistance and Prevention Program, known as HHAP. Last year was the first time cities and counties had to submit action plans to get funding through the program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, local governments have collectively updated their homelessness plans to reduce homelessness by 15% statewide over the next two years. Newsom plans to release the $1 billion in funding to cities and counties with the updated goals as part of the fourth round of the HHAP program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Small homes have grown popular in recent years as one tool to address homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tiny homes are one of the top strategies for getting people out of homelessness. We need to immediately get people off the streets,” said Candice Elder, a community advocate and executive director of the East Oakland Collective. “The reality is it takes — for the clients that we have worked with — it has taken about over seven years to get them into permanent housing — into real apartments, that is.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco currently operates a 70-unit small home village at 33 Gough, a project that began during the pandemic. The project offers a dwelling for people who are seeking alternatives to tent encampments or congregate shelters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Elder was shocked, however, that cities like Oakland — \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/news/article/From-tent-to-shed-Change-is-overwhelming-for-a-12414554.php\">which opened its first tiny home village in 2017\u003c/a>, along with \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11894774/new-tiny-home-village-in-oakland-opens-doors-to-unhoused-residents-amid-ongoing-homelessness-crisis\">another on city-owned land near Lake Merritt in 2021\u003c/a> — was not on the governor’s list of cities that would receive additional homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='tiny-homes']“I am astonished to learn that the governor did not designate any tiny homes in Oakland, Berkeley or San Francisco,” said Elder. “We know 1,200 homes spread across the state is not enough whatsoever, not even though they may scratch the surface.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Carolyn Coleman, executive director of the League of California Cities, was similarly surprised by the short list of cities that will receive the homes. But, if the effort is successful in those places, she said, it could provide a template others could replicate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I would hope that the governor and his folks have a strategy that they’ll share with us about why they picked those places with those numbers,” Coleman told KQED. “Maybe at the end of the day, we can learn from those cities and examples to scale and use in communities more broadly.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The mayors of Sacramento and San José, along with other pro-housing state leaders, applauded the governor’s investment on Thursday during a press conference where Newsom toured some of the tiny homes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Like most cities, San José is grappling with an immense homeless crisis. We all agree building more affordable housing is the long-term solution … but as we build up our housing stock and rebuild our mental health system, we have an obligation to address the enormous suffering we see on our streets every day,” said San José Mayor Matt Mahan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the city has a goal of making 1,000 new placements for unhoused residents this year. “The governor’s announcement will help us get there,” Mahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some, like Elder, expressed concerns over the involvement of the state’s National Guard for such a sensitive issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are talking about a highly, really traumatized, impacted population. Sending the National Guard in to deliver these homes seems kind of a bit much and actually a little bit scary,” Elder told KQED. “I’m assuming there’s regular people, even regular truckers that could just bring the tiny homes in. So what message are they trying to send?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness experts say the small homes, which are typically smaller than 400 square feet, should be just one component of a multipronged approach to reducing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crisis of homelessness will never be solved without first solving the crisis of housing — the two issues are inextricably linked,” Newsom said.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Gavin Newsom is calling on the California National Guard to help deliver 1,200 small homes for people experiencing homelessness across the state.

We all agree building more affordable housing is the long-term solution … but as we build up our housing stock and rebuild our mental health system, we have an obligation to address the enormous suffering we see on our streets every day,” said San José Mayor Matt Mahan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He added that the city has a goal of making 1,000 new placements for unhoused residents this year. “The governor’s announcement will help us get there,” Mahan said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some, like Elder, expressed concerns over the involvement of the state’s National Guard for such a sensitive issue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are talking about a highly, really traumatized, impacted population. Sending the National Guard in to deliver these homes seems kind of a bit much and actually a little bit scary,” Elder told KQED. “I’m assuming there’s regular people, even regular truckers that could just bring the tiny homes in. So what message are they trying to send?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Homelessness experts say the small homes, which are typically smaller than 400 square feet, should be just one component of a multipronged approach to reducing homelessness.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Josh Becker, who chairs the Senate’s budget subcommittee, called the cuts “highly concerning,” especially because they are excessive compared to the cuts applied to other state programs.[aside postID=\"news_11937772,news_11937658\" label=\"Related Posts\"]“Most programs received 10% cuts,” Becker, a Democrat from San Mateo, said in an interview. “I’m very concerned about it, given the timing that we are experiencing these floods. My county is among the most endangered in the state for sea level rise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becker said he hopes to restore some of the money, possibly by finding federal funds to backfill some programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are dramatic cuts to something we agreed upon, and I’m going to try to get it back,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-budget/2023/01/california-budget-newsom-deficit/\">Newsom’s budget\u003c/a>, released on Jan. 10, is not final, with revisions due in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say there’s a lot at stake if \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/category/environment/rising-seas/\">sea level rise\u003c/a> and coastal projects are not addressed now. Last month the state Department of Transportation, Caltrans, released a \u003ca href=\"https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/asset-management/documents/2023_shsmp_draft_02-09-2023_1000.pdf\">draft management plan (PDF)\u003c/a> estimating that it needs nearly $15 billion over the next 10 years to protect bridges and roads from sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2020 report by the Legislative Analyst’s Office projects that \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4261\">more than $20 billion worth of California property will be at risk or underwater by 2050\u003c/a> without planning and funding. “Waiting too long to initiate adaptation efforts likely will make responding effectively more difficult and costly … . The next decade represents a crucial time period for taking action to prepare for” sea level rise, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4692#Coastal_Resilience\">funding on the chopping block\u003c/a> is in the form of grants to local governments to fund projects and planning. Included is $64 million for cities to prepare extensive management plans to prepare for sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Helmer, director of environmental and natural resources for the city of Imperial Beach, said, “If the state cuts adaptation projects, that would be a concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imperial Beach received about $200,000 to prepare a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2020/04/california-coast-rising-seas-climate-change/\">draft sea level rise plan\u003c/a>, he said. It also has a grant pending with the Ocean Protection Council for another project to protect the city from encroaching seas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there’s no money, that’s a major concern for us,” Helmer said. January’s storm exacerbated already massive flooding issues, he said. Waves broke on city streets, sand was driven well past the beach and rocks were thrown through residents’ windows. The cleanup took two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up the coast in Ventura, recent storms also undermined beachfront infrastructure and proved the value of a project at \u003ca href=\"https://toolkit.climate.gov/case-studies/restoring-surfers-point-partnerships-persistence-pays\">Surfers Point\u003c/a>, partially funded by a $1.6 million state grant, which relocated a parking lot and bike path away from the water and protected the beach with a “living shoreline.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second phase of that project is contingent on a $16.2 million grant application with the state. The timeline to begin is this winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cody Stults, the city’s associate engineer, said he is optimistic that the grant would survive the cuts, but added there is no way the city could afford to pay for the next phase of the Surfers Point project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can’t get the money, I can almost guarantee that the work will not be going through this winter,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the statewide programs with deep proposed cuts are protecting the coast from climate change, with a 65% cut; adapting infrastructure to sea level rise, a 74% cut; and implementing SB 1, a 63% cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sd39.senate.ca.gov/news/20210923-governor-newsom-signs-senate-leader-atkins%E2%80%99-historic-sb-1-%E2%80%93-sea-level-rise-mitigation\">SB 1\u003c/a> provides funding for much of the state’s sea level rise response. The author, Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, said the threat is more urgent now than when the 2021 law passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The intent of SB 1 was to empower communities to work to find solutions at the local level to address sea level rise in partnership with the state,” the San Diego Democrat said in a statement to CalMatters. “While we are facing challenging times, the past decade of responsible budgeting has prepared the state to withstand a downturn without devastating cuts to critical programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In testimony before the Legislature last week, Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot characterized the governor’s proposed cuts as “surgical.” When pressed to explain how the administration prioritized programs that would be trimmed, he said the focus was on addressing “clear and present danger.” He identified wildfire and water projects as posing a direct and immediate threat to Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmentalists said the governor’s proposal to cut climate funding is shortsighted: Rising seas are often described as a “slow-moving disaster,” as the most devastating impacts are projected to show up in coming decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sea level rise is here,” said Laura Walsh, California policy manager for the Surfrider Foundation. While wildfires are a “huge deal and we don’t want to compare sob stories, at this particular moment, living on the coast feels like an emergency. This is not belt-tightening, this is drowning,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom proposed the cuts right when California was lashed with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/weather/california-flooding-atmospheric-river-wednesday/index.html\">damaging series of atmospheric river storms\u003c/a>, flooding and high surf, which was proof enough that sea level rise is already harming the state, said Donne Brownsey, chair of the California Coastal Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownsey didn’t criticize the governor’s proposed cuts. But she said she hoped they would be reevaluated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we saw in January was the trailer for the movie. That’s the way it’s going to roll,” she said. “We’re hopeful that given what happened — all the flooding and damage up and down the coastline — we are hoping there will be a reevaluation of these programs. It’s not a future problem. It’s today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownsey and others noted that past budgets have been generous, but also that their programs are increasingly under pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have unprecedented amounts of funding to make these investments.

My county is among the most endangered in the state for sea level rise.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Becker said he hopes to restore some of the money, possibly by finding federal funds to backfill some programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“These are dramatic cuts to something we agreed upon, and I’m going to try to get it back,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/california-budget/2023/01/california-budget-newsom-deficit/\">Newsom’s budget\u003c/a>, released on Jan. 10, is not final, with revisions due in May.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Experts say there’s a lot at stake if \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/category/environment/rising-seas/\">sea level rise\u003c/a> and coastal projects are not addressed now. Last month the state Department of Transportation, Caltrans, released a \u003ca href=\"https://dot.ca.gov/-/media/dot-media/programs/asset-management/documents/2023_shsmp_draft_02-09-2023_1000.pdf\">draft management plan (PDF)\u003c/a> estimating that it needs nearly $15 billion over the next 10 years to protect bridges and roads from sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A 2020 report by the Legislative Analyst’s Office projects that \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4261\">more than $20 billion worth of California property will be at risk or underwater by 2050\u003c/a> without planning and funding. “Waiting too long to initiate adaptation efforts likely will make responding effectively more difficult and costly … . The next decade represents a crucial time period for taking action to prepare for” sea level rise, the report says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Much of the \u003ca href=\"https://lao.ca.gov/Publications/Report/4692#Coastal_Resilience\">funding on the chopping block\u003c/a> is in the form of grants to local governments to fund projects and planning. Included is $64 million for cities to prepare extensive management plans to prepare for sea level rise.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Chris Helmer, director of environmental and natural resources for the city of Imperial Beach, said, “If the state cuts adaptation projects, that would be a concern.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imperial Beach received about $200,000 to prepare a \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/environment/2020/04/california-coast-rising-seas-climate-change/\">draft sea level rise plan\u003c/a>, he said. It also has a grant pending with the Ocean Protection Council for another project to protect the city from encroaching seas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If there’s no money, that’s a major concern for us,” Helmer said. January’s storm exacerbated already massive flooding issues, he said. Waves broke on city streets, sand was driven well past the beach and rocks were thrown through residents’ windows. The cleanup took two months.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Up the coast in Ventura, recent storms also undermined beachfront infrastructure and proved the value of a project at \u003ca href=\"https://toolkit.climate.gov/case-studies/restoring-surfers-point-partnerships-persistence-pays\">Surfers Point\u003c/a>, partially funded by a $1.6 million state grant, which relocated a parking lot and bike path away from the water and protected the beach with a “living shoreline.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The second phase of that project is contingent on a $16.2 million grant application with the state. The timeline to begin is this winter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cody Stults, the city’s associate engineer, said he is optimistic that the grant would survive the cuts, but added there is no way the city could afford to pay for the next phase of the Surfers Point project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If we can’t get the money, I can almost guarantee that the work will not be going through this winter,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Among the statewide programs with deep proposed cuts are protecting the coast from climate change, with a 65% cut; adapting infrastructure to sea level rise, a 74% cut; and implementing SB 1, a 63% cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://sd39.senate.ca.gov/news/20210923-governor-newsom-signs-senate-leader-atkins%E2%80%99-historic-sb-1-%E2%80%93-sea-level-rise-mitigation\">SB 1\u003c/a> provides funding for much of the state’s sea level rise response. The author, Senate President Pro Tem Toni Atkins, said the threat is more urgent now than when the 2021 law passed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The intent of SB 1 was to empower communities to work to find solutions at the local level to address sea level rise in partnership with the state,” the San Diego Democrat said in a statement to CalMatters. “While we are facing challenging times, the past decade of responsible budgeting has prepared the state to withstand a downturn without devastating cuts to critical programs.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In testimony before the Legislature last week, Natural Resources Secretary Wade Crowfoot characterized the governor’s proposed cuts as “surgical.” When pressed to explain how the administration prioritized programs that would be trimmed, he said the focus was on addressing “clear and present danger.” He identified wildfire and water projects as posing a direct and immediate threat to Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Environmentalists said the governor’s proposal to cut climate funding is shortsighted: Rising seas are often described as a “slow-moving disaster,” as the most devastating impacts are projected to show up in coming decades.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sea level rise is here,” said Laura Walsh, California policy manager for the Surfrider Foundation. While wildfires are a “huge deal and we don’t want to compare sob stories, at this particular moment, living on the coast feels like an emergency. This is not belt-tightening, this is drowning,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom proposed the cuts right when California was lashed with a \u003ca href=\"https://www.cnn.com/2023/01/11/weather/california-flooding-atmospheric-river-wednesday/index.html\">damaging series of atmospheric river storms\u003c/a>, flooding and high surf, which was proof enough that sea level rise is already harming the state, said Donne Brownsey, chair of the California Coastal Commission.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownsey didn’t criticize the governor’s proposed cuts. But she said she hoped they would be reevaluated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What we saw in January was the trailer for the movie. That’s the way it’s going to roll,” she said. “We’re hopeful that given what happened — all the flooding and damage up and down the coastline — we are hoping there will be a reevaluation of these programs. It’s not a future problem. It’s today.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brownsey and others noted that past budgets have been generous, but also that their programs are increasingly under pressure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We still have unprecedented amounts of funding to make these investments. The state is committed,” said Jenn Eckerle, deputy secretary for oceans and coastal policy and executive director of the state’s Ocean Protection Council. “But we also know impacts are happening now and we know they are only going to get more extreme over time. We also recognize that failure to invest in planning now can lead to significant costs later.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Crowfoot told the Senate budget panel that state agencies have been scouring federal programs for money to backfill state funding losses.

"content": "\u003cp>Black students’ standardized test scores and graduation rates have long trailed those of their white and Asian peers. For decades, educators and legislators have tried to close that achievement gap, and a school funding proposal in Gov. Gavin Newsom’s new budget illustrates just how difficult it is to do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The idea for the proposed funding began as a bill that would have provided more money for Black K–12 students. The bill, authored last year by Assemblymember \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/legislator-tracker/akilah-weber-1978/\">Akilah Weber\u003c/a>, a Democrat from La Mesa, made it through both the Assembly and Senate with unanimous support. While Newsom never vetoed the bill, he ultimately refused to sign it. Weber agreed to drop the bill when the governor promised to include the funding in his proposed budget for the next fiscal year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But after Newsom released his budget earlier this month, some advocates who supported Weber’s bill say the governor’s proposal falls short. Driven by concerns the bill would violate state and federal laws banning preferential treatment of specific racial or ethnic groups, the governor’s office directed the funding to high-poverty schools rather than Black students specifically.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some advocates say the proposed school funding in the budget waters down the intent of the bill and will perpetuate the achievement gap for Black students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a CalMatters analysis, less than 26% of Black students in California attend a school that would qualify for the $300 million proposed in Newsom’s budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Margaret Fortune is president and CEO of the charter school organization Fortune School of Education and was one of the lead sponsors of the bill. She said the proposal does not reflect the intentions of Weber’s bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It sounds good, but it doesn’t actually get to the students who need the help,” she said. “This is an apple, and what we wanted was an orange.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the bill wasn’t just about race. Weber’s \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=202120220AB2774\">AB 2774\u003c/a> would have given additional funding to school districts and charter schools for the student group with the lowest standardized test scores statewide. In 2022, that group was Black students: Statewide, 30% of Black students met or exceeded standards in English language arts, and 16% met or exceeded standards in math in the 2021–22 school year. For white students, those percentages were 61% for English language arts and 48% for math.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Test scores dropped slightly for all students during the pandemic, and the achievement gap persisted. In the spring of 2019, the last year of standardized testing before the pandemic shutdown, 33% of Black students met or exceeded English language arts standards, and 21% met or exceeded math standards. Among white students, 66% and 54%, respectively, met or exceeded standards.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Tyrone Howard, UCLA education professor\"]‘I don’t think you can take 245 years of slavery and Jim Crow and a legacy of separate and unequal education and expect this gap to not exist.’[/pullquote]Supporters of Weber’s bill said it would have helped Black students — as the lowest-performing group on state standardized test scores — improve academically. At the same time, the legislation would have used test scores to ensure the funding was producing results: Once Black students’ scores were no longer the lowest, the next group with the lowest test scores would qualify for the additional funding.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If after one or two years those students were progressing, it could be any other student group that could be considered,” said Christina Laster, an educational adviser for Al Sharpton’s National Action Network and a co-sponsor of the bill.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Some experts say that while elected officials and policymakers are quick to identify the racial achievement gaps, they lack the political will to target Black students with extra resources.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we’re really afraid to have hard conversations and subsequent legislation around race and how we achieve racial justice in education,” said Tyrone Howard, education professor at UCLA. “I don’t think you can take 245 years of slavery and Jim Crow and a legacy of separate and unequal education and expect this gap to not exist.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber’s bill isn’t a new idea. Her mother, former Assemblymember and current Secretary of State Shirley Weber, authored nearly identical bills in \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2635\">2018\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB575\">2019\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billTextClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB2685\">2020\u003c/a>. None of them made it out of the state Assembly. In 2018, Newsom made a similar deal with Shirley Weber by including \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2018/state-budget-deal-includes-extra-funding-for-students-with-lowest-test-scores/599405\">$300 million in one-time funding\u003c/a> for the state’s lowest-performing students. That funding applied to all students regardless of race to avoid a potential legal conflict.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But some experts and advocates say race-blind solutions won’t close the achievement gap for Black students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When the lowest-performing groups do better, that benefits students across the state,” Howard said. “I think the governor got it wrong here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Tweaking the Local Control Funding Formula\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>California funds its K–12 public schools through the Local Control Funding Formula, a system enacted in 2013. The formula gives more money to districts serving higher percentages of high-needs students — English learners, foster children and students qualifying for free or reduced-price meals.[aside label=\"Related Stories\" tag=\"school-funding\"]The intent is equity over equality: more resources for students who need them most. And while research shows that \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/targeted-k-12-funding-and-student-outcomes/\">the Local Control Funding Formula has helped close gaps\u003c/a> in graduation rates, college readiness and test scores, some advocates and legislators have said the state needs to increase accountability over how districts spend the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/en/press-releases/lawsuit-claims-la-unified-plans-illegally-divert-2-billion-intended-serve-high-need\">ACLU sued the Los Angeles Unified School District\u003c/a> for failing to spend the money generated by English learners, foster children and students from lower-income families on services for those groups. In 2021, the California Department of Education found that \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/state-orders-stricter-county-oversight-of-districts-spending-for-low-income-kids-english-learners/656621\">three school districts in San Bernardino County\u003c/a> misused funds for high-needs students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber’s bill would have added the subgroup with the lowest standardized test scores to the three student groups specified in the funding formula. Subgroups of students, like students with disabilities, that already qualify districts for additional state and federal funding would not qualify. That left racial and ethnic groups as the remaining categories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the bill would have allocated $400 million to districts and charter schools for their Black students.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The ‘equity multiplier’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In Newsom’s proposed budget, Weber’s bill became the “equity multiplier.” The proposal allocates $300 million for elementary and middle schools where at least 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals. For high schools, that percentage is 85%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike funding formula money that goes to districts, the dollars from the equity multiplier will go directly to schools and the rules will be stricter about where the money can be spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks Allen, an education policy adviser for Newsom and the executive director of the State Board of Education, said Weber’s bill was a “launching pad.” He pointed out that Weber’s bill didn’t include any requirements for districts on spending the money. He said Newsom’s proposal will have more accountability measures to make sure schools spend the money on the students with the highest needs. Newsom and his advisers are still working on those details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber’s offices provided little comment about Newsom’s proposal. When asked whether Weber was disappointed by it, her chief-of-staff, Tiffany Ryan, wrote in an email only that the “equity multiplier” is a “step in the right direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how the state will allocate the $300 million to the qualifying schools. Those details will be released in the education trailer bill that comes out later this year, state officials said. The trailer bill will describe the specific education programs that will receive money through the state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Potential legal problems\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Weber’s office and the bill’s sponsors said Newsom raised concerns about violating the state’s Proposition 209 and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The former prohibits preferential treatment of a racial or ethnic group, and the latter guarantees equal protection for all citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no mention of these potential conflicts in any of the analyses of the bill. However, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2635#\">one analysis\u003c/a> for Shirley Weber’s 2018 bill identifies a potential conflict with Prop. 209, stating the bill would “ultimately target an ethnic group for supplemental funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Akilah Weber’s bill say it doesn’t mention race but rather the group of students with the lowest test scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was never once a racial thing,” Laster said. “It’s about the category rather than who’s in the category.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas A. Saenz, president and general counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said the issue remains unclear because no law has been adjudicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The potential problem here is that among the available subgroups for test scores, many of them are race-defined,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials declined to comment on the potential legal conflicts. Weber’s and Newsom’s offices didn’t provide full details about the backroom deal that led to the race-neutral budget proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Lori Wilson, a Fairfield Democrat and chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, said Weber’s bill was a top priority for the caucus last year, and she’s pleased with the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To get to where you want to be, it has to be an incremental approach,” Wilson said. “We do not look at it as a loss in any way, shape or form.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A loss for some\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some California districts have seen success with programs that target Black students. At Fresno Unified, Lisa Mitchell oversees the \u003ca href=\"https://a4.fresnounified.org/\">African-American Academic Acceleration program\u003c/a>. In 2017, the local school board started allocating $4 million to the program each year. This year, the program has an additional $2 million thanks to emergency COVID funds from the federal government.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Lisa Mitchell, executive director, Fresno Unified's African-American Acceleration program\"]‘Why do we give to Black students? Because Black students need the most help.’[/pullquote]The district used the money to hire teachers, tutors and counselors dedicated to increasing test scores and grades and decreasing suspension and expulsion rates for the district’s Black students. Between 2017 and 2019, the district’s Black students saw slight improvements in test scores, but those gains were wiped out during the pandemic. In 2022, less than 1 in 5 Black students met or exceeded English language arts standards and 1 in 10 met or exceeded math standards. Mitchell said the program could be doing more to train teachers as well as more to train parents to teach reading at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of great programs, but they’re not adequately staffed,” Mitchell said. It’s unclear exactly how much money the bill would have directed to the district, but she said it would have helped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The acceleration program offers a 10-week after-school literacy program in the spring and a four-week program in the summer. The curriculum is based on African American authors. The district also offers a three-week coding boot camp for fifth and sixth graders that also teaches students about the contributions of African American scientists. While most of the students in these programs are Black, Mitchell said the district doesn’t turn anyone away. The program also provides on-campus supervision and instruction for suspended students as well as coaching sessions for parents who want to teach reading at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mitchell said the district hasn’t encountered threats of lawsuits or criticism based on Prop. 209 or the 14th Amendment. She said district administrators and community members generally support her work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I try to explain to people that equity and equality don’t mean the same thing,” Mitchell said. “Why do we give to Black students? Because Black students need the most help.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Representatives from the governor’s office and the State Board of Education, however, said the $300 million for high-poverty schools will ultimately lead to greater equity.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand sometimes folks are wed to their initial idea,” Allen said. “When folks have a chance to sit with this and study it, our hope is that they’ll see there’s a lot to like here.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>CalMatters reporter Erica Yee contributed to this story.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp> \u003c/p>\n\n",

And while research shows that \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/targeted-k-12-funding-and-student-outcomes/\">the Local Control Funding Formula has helped close gaps\u003c/a> in graduation rates, college readiness and test scores, some advocates and legislators have said the state needs to increase accountability over how districts spend the money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, the \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclusocal.org/en/press-releases/lawsuit-claims-la-unified-plans-illegally-divert-2-billion-intended-serve-high-need\">ACLU sued the Los Angeles Unified School District\u003c/a> for failing to spend the money generated by English learners, foster children and students from lower-income families on services for those groups. In 2021, the California Department of Education found that \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/state-orders-stricter-county-oversight-of-districts-spending-for-low-income-kids-english-learners/656621\">three school districts in San Bernardino County\u003c/a> misused funds for high-needs students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber’s bill would have added the subgroup with the lowest standardized test scores to the three student groups specified in the funding formula. Subgroups of students, like students with disabilities, that already qualify districts for additional state and federal funding would not qualify. That left racial and ethnic groups as the remaining categories.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year, the bill would have allocated $400 million to districts and charter schools for their Black students.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>The ‘equity multiplier’\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>In Newsom’s proposed budget, Weber’s bill became the “equity multiplier.” The proposal allocates $300 million for elementary and middle schools where at least 90% of students qualify for free or reduced-price meals. For high schools, that percentage is 85%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike funding formula money that goes to districts, the dollars from the equity multiplier will go directly to schools and the rules will be stricter about where the money can be spent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Brooks Allen, an education policy adviser for Newsom and the executive director of the State Board of Education, said Weber’s bill was a “launching pad.” He pointed out that Weber’s bill didn’t include any requirements for districts on spending the money. He said Newsom’s proposal will have more accountability measures to make sure schools spend the money on the students with the highest needs. Newsom and his advisers are still working on those details.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Weber’s offices provided little comment about Newsom’s proposal. When asked whether Weber was disappointed by it, her chief-of-staff, Tiffany Ryan, wrote in an email only that the “equity multiplier” is a “step in the right direction.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s unclear how the state will allocate the $300 million to the qualifying schools. Those details will be released in the education trailer bill that comes out later this year, state officials said. The trailer bill will describe the specific education programs that will receive money through the state budget.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Potential legal problems\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Weber’s office and the bill’s sponsors said Newsom raised concerns about violating the state’s Proposition 209 and the 14th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. The former prohibits preferential treatment of a racial or ethnic group, and the latter guarantees equal protection for all citizens.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s no mention of these potential conflicts in any of the analyses of the bill. However, \u003ca href=\"https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billAnalysisClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB2635#\">one analysis\u003c/a> for Shirley Weber’s 2018 bill identifies a potential conflict with Prop. 209, stating the bill would “ultimately target an ethnic group for supplemental funding.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Supporters of Akilah Weber’s bill say it doesn’t mention race but rather the group of students with the lowest test scores.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It was never once a racial thing,” Laster said. “It’s about the category rather than who’s in the category.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Thomas A. Saenz, president and general counsel for the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund, said the issue remains unclear because no law has been adjudicated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The potential problem here is that among the available subgroups for test scores, many of them are race-defined,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State officials declined to comment on the potential legal conflicts. Weber’s and Newsom’s offices didn’t provide full details about the backroom deal that led to the race-neutral budget proposal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assemblymember Lori Wilson, a Fairfield Democrat and chair of the California Legislative Black Caucus, said Weber’s bill was a top priority for the caucus last year, and she’s pleased with the outcome.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“To get to where you want to be, it has to be an incremental approach,” Wilson said. “We do not look at it as a loss in any way, shape or form.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A loss for some\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Some California districts have seen success with programs that target Black students. At Fresno Unified, Lisa Mitchell oversees the \u003ca href=\"https://a4.fresnounified.org/\">African-American Academic Acceleration program\u003c/a>. In 2017, the local school board started allocating $4 million to the program each year. This year, the program has an additional $2 million thanks to emergency COVID funds from the federal government.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Between 2017 and 2019, the district’s Black students saw slight improvements in test scores, but those gains were wiped out during the pandemic. In 2022, less than 1 in 5 Black students met or exceeded English language arts standards and 1 in 10 met or exceeded math standards. Mitchell said the program could be doing more to train teachers as well as more to train parents to teach reading at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have a lot of great programs, but they’re not adequately staffed,” Mitchell said. It’s unclear exactly how much money the bill would have directed to the district, but she said it would have helped.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The acceleration program offers a 10-week after-school literacy program in the spring and a four-week program in the summer. The curriculum is based on African American authors. The district also offers a three-week coding boot camp for fifth and sixth graders that also teaches students about the contributions of African American scientists. While most of the students in these programs are Black, Mitchell said the district doesn’t turn anyone away. The program also provides on-campus supervision and instruction for suspended students as well as coaching sessions for parents who want to teach reading at home.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mitchell said the district hasn’t encountered threats of lawsuits or criticism based on Prop. 209 or the 14th Amendment.

"content": "\u003cp>California Gov. Gavin Newsom will kick off his second and final term on Friday by contrasting his leadership of the nation’s largest Democratic stronghold with that of Republican leaders he’s branded as threats to freedom and democracy — including former President Donald Trump.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began the ceremonies by leading a march of several hundred people through downtown Sacramento to the state Capitol. He led the crowd with his wife and four children holding hands as a marching band played near the back of the crowd. The sun was finally out after days of relentless winds and rain pounding much of the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The date — January 6 — was chosen intentionally to mark the second anniversary of the \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/jan-6-committee-final-report-trump-bcfea6162fe9cfa0d120e86d069af0e4\">violent attack by Trump supporters on the U.S. Capitol\u003c/a> in an attempt to halt Congress from certifying Democrat Joe Biden as president.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Kim Nalder, professor of political science, California State University, Sacramento\"]‘His narrative that he’s trying to create is: Look how much better things could be if Democrats ran the political world.’[/pullquote]The event is meant to “stand in peaceful contrast to the violent insurrection and assault on our democracy which occurred two years ago,” Newsom’s campaign said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His second term officially began Monday. The planned outdoor ceremony Friday comes amid a series of \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-winter-storm-updates-383927771f2a2c75a683c8f520b776de\">massive storms\u003c/a> that brought heavy rain, snow and intense winds across the state. The deluge prompted Newsom to declare a state of emergency and offered a reminder of the bread-and-butter work of governing the nation’s most populous state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Newsom seeks to put California at the center of the national political conversation, he’ll also be challenged to lay out a vision for his second term. He’ll face headwinds in the form of a budget deficit, an unmitigated homelessness crisis and drought that may persist despite the storms. And he’ll go to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-california-legislature-sacramento-gavin-newsom-f67b8f4a8e0d7a978d4bf34ada1ea256\">battle with the oil industry\u003c/a> as he pushes lawmakers to impose fines on company profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began his first term in 2019 with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/north-america-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-gavin-newsom-801183607f36492c807cc62dd9210a0c\">Trump as a clear foil\u003c/a> in Washington. With Biden now in the White House, Newsom has \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-florida-donald-trump-ron-desantis-gavin-newsom-893f7924da60ee2adf7eee9e7bb133ae\">pivoted his fire toward fellow governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas\u003c/a>, both Republicans. He’s chided fellow Democrats for not being aggressive enough in standing up to Republicans and has taken the fight to GOP states himself — even launching ads in other states that trash GOP policies and promote California as a safe place for people to seek abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Newsom and DeSantis are widely seen as future presidential contenders, though perhaps not against each other. Newsom has committed to supporting Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-5a8fd26a4a9ffa9b47c5de52fface72d\">if the president seeks a second term, as he currently plans to do\u003c/a>.

The planned outdoor ceremony Friday comes amid a series of \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/california-winter-storm-updates-383927771f2a2c75a683c8f520b776de\">massive storms\u003c/a> that brought heavy rain, snow and intense winds across the state. The deluge prompted Newsom to declare a state of emergency and offered a reminder of the bread-and-butter work of governing the nation’s most populous state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As Newsom seeks to put California at the center of the national political conversation, he’ll also be challenged to lay out a vision for his second term. He’ll face headwinds in the form of a budget deficit, an unmitigated homelessness crisis and drought that may persist despite the storms. And he’ll go to \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/business-california-legislature-sacramento-gavin-newsom-f67b8f4a8e0d7a978d4bf34ada1ea256\">battle with the oil industry\u003c/a> as he pushes lawmakers to impose fines on company profits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom began his first term in 2019 with \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/north-america-donald-trump-us-news-ap-top-news-gavin-newsom-801183607f36492c807cc62dd9210a0c\">Trump as a clear foil\u003c/a> in Washington.

He’s chided fellow Democrats for not being aggressive enough in standing up to Republicans and has taken the fight to GOP states himself — even launching ads in other states that trash GOP policies and promote California as a safe place for people to seek abortion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Both Newsom and DeSantis are widely seen as future presidential contenders, though perhaps not against each other. Newsom has committed to supporting Biden \u003ca href=\"https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-5a8fd26a4a9ffa9b47c5de52fface72d\">if the president seeks a second term, as he currently plans to do\u003c/a>.
