Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 86 into law on Friday, he marshaled the state’s mighty resources to facilitate a return to classroom learning in thousands of public schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>His signature also ends, for now, the state government’s direct involvement in California’s clamorous school reopening dispute — the latest skirmish in a decades-long debate over whether school policy in California should be driven by state or local officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11863208/california-legislature-approves-plan-to-reopen-schools\">Under the legislation\u003c/a>, the state is paying for improved school ventilation, cleaning, tutoring and counseling needed to bring the state’s youngest kids back to class in the next month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the bill does \u003cem>not\u003c/em> force districts to bring back in-person education, thus leaving the most important details for many parents and students (reopening dates, school-day length, classroom setup) in the hands of locally elected school boards.[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"Pat Reilly, Democratic political consultant\"]‘Having individual school districts try to negotiate with their labor partners in the thousand-plus school districts in California, from my perspective, is like setting off a bunch of brush fires across the state.’[/pullquote]Legislators of both parties hailed AB 86 as a victory for local control, the concept of leaving decision-making power to officials closest to the voters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Everybody loves to talk about local control, it’s kind of like something sacred, like motherhood and apple pie,” said Gloria Romero, the former Democratic chair of the state Senate Education Committee.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But critics of the approach believe many school boards are proving ineffectual\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11861466/sfusd-isnt-alone-escalating-pressures-facing-lawmakers-in-school-reopening-debate-across-bay-area\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> in the face of competing local pressures\u003c/a>. In San Francisco, parent groups want to change how school boards are constructed, arguing that a switch to mayoral appointments may produce more competent boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others think that the decision to reopen schools is simply too important to delegate to an entanglement of forces working between the Capitol building and California classrooms — what Romero calls the “Byzantine labyrinth” that includes elected school boards, powerful teachers unions, county and state offices of education and the independently elected superintendent of public instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re finding out that local control … there are so many fingers in the pot stirring it, blocking it, adding in poison pills,” said Romero, a longtime charter school advocate. “Despite how convoluted that is, the governor has the bully pulpit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Fear of Local ‘Brush Fires’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Critics of Newsom have for months called on him to use executive authority to force teachers back into the classroom — potentially by \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/to-help-get-kids-back-in-school-california-should-temporarily-suspend-local-collective-bargaining/646857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suspending collective bargaining\u003c/a> at the local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He should have shown leadership,” said Romero. “He was just, I think, embarrassingly weak and without a backbone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the fate of reopening will likely be decided through the contentious negotiations taking place between school districts and unions representing teachers, bus drivers, custodians and administrators. Many large districts, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, are unlikely to reopen by April 1, after which, the amount of grant funding in AB 86 starts to decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having individual school districts try to negotiate with their labor partners in the thousand-plus school districts in California, from my perspective, is like setting off a bunch of brush fires across the state,” said Pat Reilly, a Democratic political consultant and advocate with the group \u003ca href=\"https://www.openschoolsca.com/\">OpenSchoolsCA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After months of distance learning, legislative leaders grew impatient with the progress of local reopening talks. Some appeared flummoxed that districts hadn’t done more to resume in-person schooling when infection rates ebbed in September and October.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I am normally a huge proponent of local control, but this year, local control has been a complete failure,” said state Assembly Budget Chair Phil Ting, D-San Francisco, in a hearing last month on the school reopening plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘A First Step’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In the end, however, local control carried the day. Lawmakers hailed AB 86 for setting a uniform standard of “flexibility.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label=\"related coverage\" tag=\"school-reopening\"]But without a mandate, the bill might not move the needle in the most stubborn negotiations. And the legislation has no effect at all on the vast majority of middle and high school students. The plan only provides grants to bring back elementary school grades, along with one grade of middle or high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Friday’s virtual bill-signing ceremony, Ting was left to describe the bill he authored as “a first step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to go home to all our districts and beg all our districts to open up, use this money,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, the deference that Newsom and the Legislature have given to local decision-making is borne of the vast differences in public schools throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at 58 counties, a thousand-plus school districts, this truly is a challenge at scale that no other state in the country is faced with,” Newsom said as he signed the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, former Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, a Democrat who \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/magazine/school-reopenings-rhode-island.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gained national recognition\u003c/a> for her work in reopening schools last year, dealt with roughly 60 districts — and the state already had control over its largest school district, in Providence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new legislation ensures the state will not be a hurdle for districts keen on opening their doors: There are no mandates to vaccinate teachers or reach collective bargaining agreements with unions — and districts located in counties outside of California’s purple COVID-19 tier will not be required to test students and staff for the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the bill’s guarantee that 10% of the state’s vaccine doses be set aside for school employees (codifying an earlier promise made by Newsom) may be the most important provision in nudging teachers back into the classroom. In just the last week, an increasing vaccine supply and the hope of a continued decline in infections has accelerated the progress of reopening schools in large districts like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11863665/questions-linger-as-san-francisco-schools-aim-to-reopen-next-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/education-lab/article249615263.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fresno\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are generally supportive of handing authority to local governments; the leading Republicans seeking to challenge Newsom in a potential recall election this year said they would also not have suspended collective bargaining rights to force reopenings. Just four GOP legislators in the state Senate and Assembly voted against the plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, R-Yucaipa, argued that “it is essential that we have local control.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recalled a recent meeting with constituents, when a frustrated audience member asked her who bears responsibility for the decisions being made at his local school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said, ‘You are, you are ultimately in control of your local schools,’ ” said Ochoa Bogh, who served on the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District before her election to the Senate last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re not happy then, lo and behold, go ahead and find candidates that reflect your values and your vision of education and get them elected,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Attention on School Boards \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In a number of cities across the state, many parents aren’t waiting for the next election to decide the fate of their school boards. Recall campaigns against individual board members have been launched in Benicia, La Mesa and San Ramon. And in San Francisco, critics of the board are pursuing a recall and a wholesale change in how members are selected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing both impatient Sacramento lawmakers and exasperated parents, “school boards have really been stuck in the middle,” said Troy Flint, senior director of communications for the California School Boards Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re dealing with parent communities which are often rife with division on this issue,” he said. “And they don’t really have the framework needed to effectively pursue negotiations on reopening, because there hasn’t until now been the standard for the state on what acceptable measures of safety are to reopen.”\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nBy and large, parents furious with the lack of progress on reopenings argue their elected boards are too aligned with local teachers unions — and thus more likely to prioritize the safety of educators over the education and \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2021/01/18/953581851/ive-tried-everything-pandemic-has-cut-options-for-kids-with-mental-illness\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">mental well-being\u003c/a> of students, which have \u003ca href=\"https://www.ppic.org/publication/who-is-losing-ground-with-distance-learning-in-california/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suffered greatly\u003c/a> during the pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That perceived imbalance is likely a result of shifts in education decision-making over the last half century, said Gary Hart, the former state secretary of education under Gov. Gray Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until the 1970s, school boards had greater control over decisions to tax and spend on local schools. That provided an incentive for business-minded community members to run for seats on the board to provide a check on members more sympathetic to teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That began to change in 1971, when the California Supreme Court ruled that the state’s education funding scheme \u003ca href=\"https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/serrano-v-priest-27628\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disadvantaged students in low-income neighborhoods\u003c/a> where fewer local taxes could be raised to pay for schools. Then, in 1978, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, the landmark initiative that dramatically shrunk the amount of local property tax revenue that schools had traditionally relied on, forcing districts to feed from the trough of state revenue controlled by the Legislature and governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“School boards no longer had much overall control of their school budgets, particularly as it related to increases in spending,” Hart said. “So as a result of that, I think there was a diminishment of civic leaders serving on school boards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their place, he said, emerged increasingly diverse school board candidates who were more aligned with the California Teachers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mayoral Involvement\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Beyond recall campaigns, parent advocates and some supervisors in San Francisco say the answer is to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11861151/new-pac-targets-san-francisco-school-board-over-reopening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">move away from a citywide election of school board members\u003c/a> — either by splitting the election into districts, or by \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/heatherknight/article/Should-S-F-City-Hall-control-the-school-board-16005019.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">giving the mayor direct power\u003c/a> to appoint the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that there needs to be some change, what that change is, is yet to be determined,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882236/2010101882236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent interview on KQED Forum\u003c/a>, when asked about the possibility of appointing the board. “I know that folks who don’t even have kids in the school district are paying very close attention to the fact that the leaders of our school district are not up for the task of doing what’s necessary to get our kids back in school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who has joined parents at recent rallies to support reopening, was reluctant to endorse more mayoral control over schools. She told KQED she believes “shared governance in our city is the best model right now.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"San Francisco Mayor London Breed\"]‘I think that there needs to be some change, what that change is, is yet to be determined.’[/pullquote]Mayors in cities such as Chicago and New York (where schools have opened) appoint a controlling share of their local school boards. But in California, efforts by mayors to play a larger role in school policy have largely fallen flat.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2000, then-Oakland Mayor Jerry Brown \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11795095/direct-action\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">convinced voters to pass Measure D\u003c/a>, giving him three appointments to the school board. But still lacking a majority, Brown wrestled with the board for the next few years before turning his attention to creating his own charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And in Los Angeles, former Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa, an adamant proponent of charter schools, received permission from the Legislature to take control of individual schools and hire the district’s superintendent. But months after those changes were enacted, \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=6663370\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">they were ruled unconstitutional \u003c/a>by a Superior Court judge.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In recent years, school boards have trended toward even greater localized control — with hundreds of districts \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2019/california-school-district-latest-to-change-board-elections-to-better-reflect-diversity-of-community/609854\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">switching to electing members\u003c/a> from individual geographic districts, rather than through citywide elections. Most recently, voters in San Diego (who rejected the idea of appointed school board members in 2010), \u003ca href=\"https://www.kpbs.org/news/2020/nov/03/election-2020-san-diego-measures-c-d/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">opted to move away\u003c/a> from at-large elections altogether.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate over reopening schools brings to a head the conflicting feelings of voters, said Larry Tramutola, a political strategist known for his work in school campaigns.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would like to have school boards to be more competent and represent all people,” he said. “But on the other hand, they want district elections, where school board members are elected by basically small neighborhoods, so it’s often difficult to find quality people — experienced, knowledgeable — to run for these seats.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those school board seats often become launching pads for elected officials aspiring to reach higher office — though the reopening debate is certain to test the veracity of that narrative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They can be a stepping stone,” Tramutola said. “But it can be a step into quicksand, too.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>KQED’s Sara Hossaini contributed to this report. \u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

In San Francisco, parent groups want to change how school boards are constructed, arguing that a switch to mayoral appointments may produce more competent boards.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Others think that the decision to reopen schools is simply too important to delegate to an entanglement of forces working between the Capitol building and California classrooms — what Romero calls the “Byzantine labyrinth” that includes elected school boards, powerful teachers unions, county and state offices of education and the independently elected superintendent of public instruction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re finding out that local control … there are so many fingers in the pot stirring it, blocking it, adding in poison pills,” said Romero, a longtime charter school advocate. “Despite how convoluted that is, the governor has the bully pulpit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Fear of Local ‘Brush Fires’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Critics of Newsom have for months called on him to use executive authority to force teachers back into the classroom — potentially by \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/to-help-get-kids-back-in-school-california-should-temporarily-suspend-local-collective-bargaining/646857\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">suspending collective bargaining\u003c/a> at the local level.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He should have shown leadership,” said Romero. “He was just, I think, embarrassingly weak and without a backbone.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, the fate of reopening will likely be decided through the contentious negotiations taking place between school districts and unions representing teachers, bus drivers, custodians and administrators. Many large districts, including Los Angeles, San Diego and San Francisco, are unlikely to reopen by April 1, after which, the amount of grant funding in AB 86 starts to decline.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Having individual school districts try to negotiate with their labor partners in the thousand-plus school districts in California, from my perspective, is like setting off a bunch of brush fires across the state,” said Pat Reilly, a Democratic political consultant and advocate with the group \u003ca href=\"https://www.openschoolsca.com/\">OpenSchoolsCA\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After months of distance learning, legislative leaders grew impatient with the progress of local reopening talks.

And the legislation has no effect at all on the vast majority of middle and high school students. The plan only provides grants to bring back elementary school grades, along with one grade of middle or high school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Friday’s virtual bill-signing ceremony, Ting was left to describe the bill he authored as “a first step.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re going to go home to all our districts and beg all our districts to open up, use this money,” he added.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>To be sure, the deference that Newsom and the Legislature have given to local decision-making is borne of the vast differences in public schools throughout the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When you look at 58 counties, a thousand-plus school districts, this truly is a challenge at scale that no other state in the country is faced with,” Newsom said as he signed the legislation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>By comparison, former Rhode Island Gov. Gina Raimondo, a Democrat who \u003ca href=\"https://www.nytimes.com/2021/02/10/magazine/school-reopenings-rhode-island.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gained national recognition\u003c/a> for her work in reopening schools last year, dealt with roughly 60 districts — and the state already had control over its largest school district, in Providence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s new legislation ensures the state will not be a hurdle for districts keen on opening their doors: There are no mandates to vaccinate teachers or reach collective bargaining agreements with unions — and districts located in counties outside of California’s purple COVID-19 tier will not be required to test students and staff for the virus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ultimately, the bill’s guarantee that 10% of the state’s vaccine doses be set aside for school employees (codifying an earlier promise made by Newsom) may be the most important provision in nudging teachers back into the classroom. In just the last week, an increasing vaccine supply and the hope of a continued decline in infections has accelerated the progress of reopening schools in large districts like \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11863665/questions-linger-as-san-francisco-schools-aim-to-reopen-next-month\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">San Francisco\u003c/a> and \u003ca href=\"https://www.fresnobee.com/news/local/education-lab/article249615263.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Fresno\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republicans are generally supportive of handing authority to local governments; the leading Republicans seeking to challenge Newsom in a potential recall election this year said they would also not have suspended collective bargaining rights to force reopenings. Just four GOP legislators in the state Senate and Assembly voted against the plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State Sen. Rosilicie Ochoa Bogh, R-Yucaipa, argued that “it is essential that we have local control.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She recalled a recent meeting with constituents, when a frustrated audience member asked her who bears responsibility for the decisions being made at his local school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I said, ‘You are, you are ultimately in control of your local schools,’ ” said Ochoa Bogh, who served on the Yucaipa-Calimesa Joint Unified School District before her election to the Senate last year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re not happy then, lo and behold, go ahead and find candidates that reflect your values and your vision of education and get them elected,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Attention on School Boards \u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In a number of cities across the state, many parents aren’t waiting for the next election to decide the fate of their school boards. Recall campaigns against individual board members have been launched in Benicia, La Mesa and San Ramon. And in San Francisco, critics of the board are pursuing a recall and a wholesale change in how members are selected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Facing both impatient Sacramento lawmakers and exasperated parents, “school boards have really been stuck in the middle,” said Troy Flint, senior director of communications for the California School Boards Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re dealing with parent communities which are often rife with division on this issue,” he said. “And they don’t really have the framework needed to effectively pursue negotiations on reopening, because there hasn’t until now been the standard for the state on what acceptable measures of safety are to reopen.”\u003cbr>\n\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Gray Davis.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Until the 1970s, school boards had greater control over decisions to tax and spend on local schools. That provided an incentive for business-minded community members to run for seats on the board to provide a check on members more sympathetic to teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That began to change in 1971, when the California Supreme Court ruled that the state’s education funding scheme \u003ca href=\"https://scocal.stanford.edu/opinion/serrano-v-priest-27628\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">disadvantaged students in low-income neighborhoods\u003c/a> where fewer local taxes could be raised to pay for schools. Then, in 1978, voters overwhelmingly approved Proposition 13, the landmark initiative that dramatically shrunk the amount of local property tax revenue that schools had traditionally relied on, forcing districts to feed from the trough of state revenue controlled by the Legislature and governor.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“School boards no longer had much overall control of their school budgets, particularly as it related to increases in spending,” Hart said. “So as a result of that, I think there was a diminishment of civic leaders serving on school boards.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In their place, he said, emerged increasingly diverse school board candidates who were more aligned with the California Teachers Association.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Mayoral Involvement\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Beyond recall campaigns, parent advocates and some supervisors in San Francisco say the answer is to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/coronavirusliveupdates/news/11861151/new-pac-targets-san-francisco-school-board-over-reopening\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">move away from a citywide election of school board members\u003c/a> — either by splitting the election into districts, or by \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/local/heatherknight/article/Should-S-F-City-Hall-control-the-school-board-16005019.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">giving the mayor direct power\u003c/a> to appoint the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think that there needs to be some change, what that change is, is yet to be determined,” San Francisco Mayor London Breed said in a \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/forum/2010101882236/2010101882236\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">recent interview on KQED Forum\u003c/a>, when asked about the possibility of appointing the board. “I know that folks who don’t even have kids in the school district are paying very close attention to the fact that the leaders of our school district are not up for the task of doing what’s necessary to get our kids back in school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf, who has joined parents at recent rallies to support reopening, was reluctant to endorse more mayoral control over schools.

I feel bad for the teachers, so I have my camera on in every single class because I feel bad when it’s just a black screen. So I always get my camera on, but then it makes me hyper aware of what I look like, which means I’m not paying attention. My phone is always right there, which means I’m not paying attention. So it’s just really hard to have self control in a way. And on top of that, teachers are likely very tired. So I feel like they’re putting in less effort. It’s justified, but they’re putting in a little less effort, some of them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Katayama: So there have been a lot of conversations about reopening schools lately. And I feel like a lot of the people who we’re hearing from are the governor or are the school district officials. And I’m just wondering, has anybody ever asked you your thoughts?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Brenneman\u003c/strong>\u003cem>\u003cstrong>: \u003c/strong>\u003c/em>No, weirdly enough, no. I don’t think anybody has. My mom was a teacher for a while so she asked me personally how I was feeling about it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>I haven’t heard a lot about at-risk students, how they’re feeling. I’m not at risk. I know my sister is, which is why I think about that a lot. But I haven’t heard any students who maybe have lung problems or autoimmune disorders, anything like that. I haven’t heard any voices from them, which I think it would be interesting to hear that from them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Kritikopoulos: \u003c/strong>We’ve all just kind of accepted our fate, that it’s up to the adults to figure out what’s happening. We don’t really have a say in it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Katayama: Well, let’s actually ask you then. How do you feel about reopening and going back to to school in person? Like, what are you thinking about? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Kritikopoulos:\u003c/strong> We don’t trust our fellow classmates at all. We see on Instagram and Twitter or whatever every day. Nobody follows precautions who are our peers. We all follow each other on Instagram and there’s one group of friends who’s like in Santa Cruz every other weekend and we’re like, do you not go to school? And none of them are wearing masks ever, and they’re all posing next to each other. So we don’t trust our fellow classmates, even if they’re all wearing masks and socially distanced from us. We just don’t trust that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Brenneman: \u003c/strong>No, I’m definitely worried because none of us students are vaccinated or anything yet. And it seems like we won’t be getting vaccinated until the summer. I have a sister who’s at risk. So going to school is really scary for me and her going to school is really scary too, because I don’t want her to get anything.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Katayama: W\u003c/strong>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>hat do you want people to know about what you and your peers are going through right now? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Kritikopoulos: \u003c/strong>Especially since we’re teens and people probably think ‘You’re already on a screen all day anyways. Like, how different is it?’ It is just as hard for us as it is for you, potentially even harder because a lot of teachers have not changed their curriculum to be more compatible with this system. They’re even doing more sometimes. And schoolwork is just as hard as whatever job you have.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>Brenneman: \u003c/strong>Mostly for parents, I wish they would understand how difficult it is to get up and get into your Zoom. They might think it’s really easy just because you can roll over in bed and get on it. But it’s just really tiring. It’s really difficult to have any motivation to do homework and that sort of thing. And I also wish teachers would understand that I’m trying my best and it is really difficult to get everything done whenever you want it. And I know it’s hard on them too. So I wish we would have some communication where we each understand that both of our jobs is really hard at the moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Cheng: \u003c/strong>A\u003cb>\u003c/b>bove all, I’d ask for understanding, especially for the seniors this year. A lot of us aren’t eighteen yet. And even if we are eighteen, that’s just a part of being a child and just becoming an adult. And I think having that year like having memorable times taken away from us, like prom, graduation, those things which are like keys to adulthood, I guess some would say we didn’t get. So I think it would be really nice if people could see that just beyond like us not liking online school.

"content": "\u003cp>At the end of 2020, California had lost a record 1.6 million jobs during the pandemic. Nearly a half-million people stopped even trying to look for work. Business properties saw their value plummet more than 30%.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California’s bank account is overflowing. As of January, the state’s tax collections were $10.5 billion ahead of projections. By the end of the fiscal year on July 1, Gov. Gavin Newsom and the state Legislature could have a $19 billion surplus to spend.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s so much money that, for just the second time ever, the state is projected to trigger a state law requiring the government to send refunds to taxpayers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=\"news_11861698\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/04/RS42583_003_KQED_SanFrancisco_Businesses_04072020-qut-1020x680.jpg\"]Economic downturns usually put state governments in a bind, forcing them to cut services at a time when people need them most. That’s what happened a decade ago during the Great Recession when the housing market collapsed and the stock market tanked, creating a cascade of losses from the wealthy on down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But this time, with the pandemic forcing the closure of bars, restaurants, theme parks, sporting events and small businesses, lower-wage workers bore the brunt of the losses while the wealthier worked from home. The economic losses started at the bottom of the income ladder and so far they haven’t made their way up to the top.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s put states like California, with a tax code that relies heavily on the rich, in a strange place. A year ago, state lawmakers thought this downturn would behave like other downturns. They cut spending, raised taxes on some businesses, borrowed money and pulled from the state’s savings account — all to prepare for having less money.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003cbr>\nBut the state’s revenues went up. And billions of dollars from the federal government, which paid for things like hotel rooms for the homeless and home-delivered meals for seniors, also softened the blow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This isn’t a recession that was driven by economic failures, this is a recession driven by a global pandemic,” said Chris Hoene, executive director of the \u003ca href=\"https://calbudgetcenter.org/\">California Budget and Policy Center\u003c/a>. “It just has different structural elements to it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Unlike most states, California taxes capital gains — mostly money made from investments and stocks — the same as money made from wages and salaries. The result is 1% of the population accounts for nearly half of the state’s income tax collections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote align=\"right\" size=\"medium\" citation=\"David Kline, spokesman for the California Taxpayers Association\"]‘It does point to an overreliance of a very small population of taxpayers. … In general, you want a broad base of taxpayers at the lowest rate possible.’[/pullquote]That 1% had a pretty good year in 2020, financially speaking. The stock market is 16% above its pre-pandemic high in February 2020. A slew of California tech companies, led by Airbnb and DoorDash, debuted on the stock market last year, adding to the state’s population of millionaires and billionaires.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Newsom administration projects Californians will earn $185 billion from capital gains — the most ever — resulting in $18.5 billion in tax revenue for the state.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It does point to an overreliance of a very small population of taxpayers,” said David Kline, spokesman for the California Taxpayers Association, which favors limited taxation. “In general, you want a broad base of taxpayers at the lowest rate possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But California’s windfall means it can increase spending at a time when many people can’t. Last week, Newsom signed off on \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11861667/gov-newsom-signs-7-6-billion-stimulus-package\">$7.6 billion in new spending\u003c/a>, including more than $2 billion in grants for struggling small businesses and $3.6 billion to send \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2021/02/23/newsom-signs-coronavirus-relief-package-with-aid-for-small-businesses-low-income-residents/\">$600 one-time payments\u003c/a> to nearly 5.7 million people.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative leaders say they plan to pass another $2.3 billion in tax breaks for businesses in the coming weeks, bringing the state’s aid package to nearly $10 billion.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While California has more money, the pandemic has brought more expenses. Schools need more money to reopen after months of distance learning, a thorny subject that \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11860986/democratic-state-legislators-split-with-newsom-on-school-reopening\">has split Newsom\u003c/a> from the Democrat-controlled Legislature.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While employment has increased slightly in California for people who earn $60,000 a year or more, employment has dropped nearly 30% for people earning less than $27,000 per year, according to Opportunity Insights, an economic tracker based at Harvard University.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California’s economy has been buoyed by unemployment benefits, which Congress has expanded and extended multiple times. As of December, nearly 90% of people either unemployed or underemployed were receiving jobless benefits in California, according to new research from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.capolicylab.org/\">California Policy Lab\u003c/a>. That’s an increase from earlier in the pandemic, when only about half such people were getting benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The rather recent spurt in revenue growth that we’ve seen should in no way be taken to mean that California’s economy overall has recovered from the COVID-19 recession,” said H.D.
