Gohill, who was reporting on the incident for The Stanford Daily, was booked into Santa Clara County Main Jail on charges of burglary, vandalism and conspiracy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area-based First Amendment Coalition and the Virginia-based Student Press Law Center \u003ca href=\"https://splc.org/2025/01/splc-fac-urge-stanford-to-call-for-da-to-decline-charges-against-student-journalist/\">received a letter\u003c/a> from Stanford President Jonathan Levin on Monday that said the school’s disciplinary process regarding Gohill “is complete and resulted in no disciplinary action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>KQED News obtained a copy of the letter. \u003cem>The San Francisco Chronicle\u003c/em> \u003ca href=\"https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/article/stanford-drops-case-against-student-journalist-20047810.php\">first reported\u003c/a> the development on Wednesday. Levin was replying to a \u003ca href=\"https://firstamendmentcoalition.org/2025/01/17/fac-splc-urge-stanford-president-to-decline-charges-against-student-journalist-dilan-gohill/\">Jan. 17 letter\u003c/a> from the two press freedom organizations, which have advocated for \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11991389/press-freedom-groups-want-charges-dropped-against-stanford-student-journalist\">ending all disciplinary and legal action against Gohill\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Because of the university’s disappointing and very public role in this ordeal, we request that you publicly confirm that Gohill will face no university disciplinary action and that you urge the Santa Clara District Attorney’s Office not to pursue charges against him,” the letter to Levin said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gohill has also received support from \u003cem>The Stanford Daily\u003c/em> editors and school \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12018109/stanford-student-reporters-fate-still-in-limbo-months-after-arrest-at-protest\">alumni groups\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school’s previous president, Richard Saller, and Provost Jenny Martinez, said in a June 10 \u003ca href=\"https://news.stanford.edu/stories/2024/06/university-statement-on-stanford-daily-students-arrested-on-june-5\">statement\u003c/a> that they believe Gohill “acted in violation of the law and university policies and fully support having him be criminally prosecuted and referred to Stanford’s Office of Community Standards along with the other students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, in his response to advocates backing Gohill this week, Levin said he’d leave the judgment of whether to prosecute Gohill up to the Santa Clara County district attorney.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jean-Paul Jassy, an attorney for Gohill, said Stanford’s actions don’t make any sense.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They should be saying, ‘We were wrong, we never should have encouraged the district attorney to pursue any prosecution against Dilan,’” Jassy said. “Why wouldn’t they say that? They don’t even think that they have grounds for discipline, and they think that there could be a crime proven beyond a reasonable doubt?”[aside postID=news_11991389 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/GOHILL-1-KQED.jpg']\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dee Mostofi, a Stanford spokesperson, said in an email to KQED that the “student conduct review process” for Gohill was completed at the end of last year but did not address concerns from Gohill’s representatives about whether the university would retract its statements about prosecution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As of Wednesday afternoon, the district attorney’s office had not filed charges against Gohill. Sean Webby, communications director for the office, said it is still waiting on all the information from the case before making a decision.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Many of the groups supporting Gohill have emphasized that on the day of the protests, he was dressed in red Stanford Daily attire and displayed a press badge. The protesters were dressed in black. His attorneys said Gohill did not participate in the protest in any way and that he identified himself as a journalist to officers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s shameful that a university seemingly committed to the ideals of free expression and a free press cannot be bothered to come to the aid of its own student-facing potential felony charges for the act of reporting the news,” said Mike Hiestand, the senior legal counsel for the Student Press Law Center.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gohill still works at The Stanford Daily but no longer as a reporter. He serves as the newsroom development director, Szabo said. Stanford employs Gohill as a tour guide for prospective students of the university, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“While he is still suffering from the threat of potential criminal charges today, this news, I think, has lifted a great burden off of his shoulders,” Szabo said. “He feels vindicated. The university made allegations, which they themselves decided not to pursue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re at this point shifting our focus to the district attorney’s office to make sure that they don’t fall into a similar trap and pursue charges that are simply without any merit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

The country’s culture and sports minister, Miki Zohar, said in a statement he would vote on the agreement Thursday with his cabinet colleagues. “It is the duty of every government minister to vote in favor of the deal,” Zohar said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier on Wednesday, Hamas had issued a statement that described a meeting between one of its senior leaders, Mohammed Darwish, and Ziad al-Nakhalah, the head of another armed faction that operates inside Gaza, the Islamic Jihad group. The statement said the two men’s discussion had involved “stressing the exertion of all efforts to make this round of negotiations a success.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres welcomed news of the agreement, saying, “Our priority must be to ease the tremendous suffering caused by this conflict. … I call on all parties to facilitate the rapid, unhindered, and safe humanitarian relief for all civilians in need.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKjZ1d9UE-k\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>A deal in three phases\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Many obstacles remain, though, with fighting still ongoing.

It’s not clear how many are involved, since the group wants more detainees per each hostage freed alive, but has not said how many are still living. Most, but not all, are believed to be alive, according to Israeli officials.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The total number of Palestinians released from Israeli custody is expected to be around 1,000, according to a Palestinian official who was not authorized to speak to the media.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Israel will reduce — but not end — its military presence in Gaza during the first phase.

That’s when, according to a CalMatters analysis, around 560 people, largely students and faculty, faced discipline or arrests. Some student protesters erected tents and other structures that remained on campus for several days or, in some cases, multiple weeks before universities intervened. In light of legal actions and pressure from lawmakers, campus administrators are tightening enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think students are still definitely riled up and ready to have their voice heard,” said Aditi Hariharan, president of the University of California Student Association. “Whenever they take steps to share their voice, I think the administration takes an opposing step and is trying to push them back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, some students and faculty are still facing charges related to last academic year’s demonstrations. And now, some who were arrested \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12003855/uc-santa-cruz-students-professor-sue-over-campus-bans-after-pro-palestinian-protest\">are suing their campuses\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>New year brings emphasis on enforcing protest policies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>While many of today’s protest policies were in place prior to last spring, campus administrators showed discretion in the past over when or whether to respond.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Universities’ varied approaches to dealing with the encampments led state lawmakers and system administrators to seek uniform enforcement of policies governing where and how students can protest. Signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in September, SB 1287 requires the University of California and California State University systems to update their policies and create training to educate students on “what constitutes violent, harassing, intimidating, or discriminatory conduct that creates a hostile environment on campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Even when dealing with divisive issues, all student voices have the right to be heard, and none should be silenced,” said now-former state Sen.

Michael Drake, the UC president, wrote a letter to the 10 UC campuses outlining policies on free speech and protests, including a complete ban on camping and erecting encampments, blocking campus facilities, and refusing to identify oneself. The letter largely banned actions already enshrined in laws and campus policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UCLA, university police officers arrested four people on Nov. 19 during a protest the campus’ Students for Justice in Palestine organization announced as a “Nationwide Student Strike.” According to acting UCLA Chief of Police Scott Scheffler, the protesters violated time, place and manner policies after they attempted to block access to the campus walkway through Bruin Plaza. This case is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheffler is the second acting chief at UCLA since the former chief, John Thomas, was reassigned in May following criticisms of his handling of the spring protests on campus. The UCLA Police Department announced Dec. 10 was Thomas’ last day with the university.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Also, at UCLA, one person was arrested Oct. 22 for failing to disperse during a student rally of about 40 people. The campus police department posted on X that the rally violated the school’s protest policies against erecting unauthorized structures on campus.[aside label='Related Coverage' tag='palestine']At UC Santa Cruz, police arrested one student who was using a megaphone during a demonstration on Oct. 7, according to an eyewitness who spoke to LookOut Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz County Sheriff’s Office public arrest reports show one person was arrested on the Santa Cruz campus for obstruction of a public officer and battery without injury that day.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While no arrests were made, Pomona College has suspended 12 students for the remainder of the 2024–25 academic year following an Oct. 7 demonstration in which they entered, damaged and vandalized a restricted building, according to the student newspaper. The college also banned dozens of students from the four other campuses of the Claremont Colleges, a consortium that includes Pomona.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Private colleges have implemented their own policy changes.

The following day, 254 people were arrested on charges related to the protest encampment. In October, two additional people were also arrested for participating in the counter-protester violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office is pursuing three felony cases against individuals arrested at UCLA in relation to violence during last spring’s protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city attorney’s office is reviewing 93 misdemeanor cases from USC and 210 from UCLA, according to information it provided to CalMatters last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lilyan Zwirzina, a junior at Cal Poly Humboldt, was among the students arrested in the early morning of April 30 following protesters occupying a campus building and ignoring orders to disperse from the university. Law enforcement took her to Humboldt County Correctional Facility, where she faced four misdemeanor charges, including resisting arrest. Zwirzina thought she’d have to cancel her study abroad semester, which conflicted with the court date she was given.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was pretty frustrated and kind of freaked out,” Zwirzina said.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer is pursuing misdemeanor charges against 50 people, including two UCI professors, a teaching assistant, and 26 students, stemming from a protest at UC Irvine on Oct. 22, 2023. Charges include failure to disperse, resisting arrest and vandalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Pomona College, 19 students were arrested on April 5 on charges of trespassing after some protesters entered and refused to leave an administrative building. Students arrested either had their cases dismissed or have accepted community service in lieu of further legal action. James Gutierrez, the attorney representing the arrested students, said he asked that the college drop charges against its students, citing their right to protest the use of paid tuition dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are righteously demanding that their colleges, the ones they pay tuition to and housing fees and pour a lot of money into, that that university or college stop investing in companies that are directly supporting this genocide and indirectly supporting it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Students fight back against campus protest policies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As administrators face the challenge of applying protest policies more uniformly and swiftly, the truer test of California public higher education institutions’ protest rules will be playing out in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one already resolved case, UC leadership agreed in August to comply with a court order requiring the campus to end programs or events that exclude Jewish students. A federal judge ruled some Jewish students in support of Israel who were blocked from entering the encampment had their religious liberties violated — though some Jewish students did participate in UCLA’s protest encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, students have filed at least two lawsuits against their campuses and the UC system for violating their rights while ending student encampments last spring. In September, ACLU NorCal filed suits against the UC and UC Santa Cruz for not providing students due process when they immediately barred arrested students from returning to campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those students should have gotten a hearing, an opportunity to defend themselves or to explain themselves, and the school would have shown evidence of why they created a risk of disturbance on campus,” Chessie Thacher, senior staff attorney at ACLU of Northern California, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Santa Cruz spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason said the university “appreciates the court’s careful deliberation” and that the university “is committed to upholding the right to free expression while also protecting the safety of its campus community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, ACLU SoCal filed lawsuits on behalf of two students and two faculty members against the UC and UCLA, alleging the actions the university took to break down the encampment violated their free speech rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez told CalMatters via email that the university would respond in court and that UCLA “fully supports community members expressing their First Amendment rights in ways that do not violate the law, our policies, jeopardize community safety, or disrupt the functioning of the university.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The encampment that arose on campus this spring became a focal point for violence, a disruption to campus, and was in violation of the law,” Vazquez said in the email statement. “These conditions necessitated its removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>June Hsu and Lizzy Rager are fellows with the College Journalism Network, a collaboration between CalMatters and student journalists from across California.

That’s when, according to a CalMatters analysis, around 560 people, largely students and faculty, faced discipline or arrests. Some student protesters erected tents and other structures that remained on campus for several days or, in some cases, multiple weeks before universities intervened. In light of legal actions and pressure from lawmakers, campus administrators are tightening enforcement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think students are still definitely riled up and ready to have their voice heard,” said Aditi Hariharan, president of the University of California Student Association. “Whenever they take steps to share their voice, I think the administration takes an opposing step and is trying to push them back.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Michael Drake, the UC president, wrote a letter to the 10 UC campuses outlining policies on free speech and protests, including a complete ban on camping and erecting encampments, blocking campus facilities, and refusing to identify oneself. The letter largely banned actions already enshrined in laws and campus policies.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At UCLA, university police officers arrested four people on Nov. 19 during a protest the campus’ Students for Justice in Palestine organization announced as a “Nationwide Student Strike.” According to acting UCLA Chief of Police Scott Scheffler, the protesters violated time, place and manner policies after they attempted to block access to the campus walkway through Bruin Plaza. This case is still under investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Scheffler is the second acting chief at UCLA since the former chief, John Thomas, was reassigned in May following criticisms of his handling of the spring protests on campus.

In October, two additional people were also arrested for participating in the counter-protester violence.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s office is pursuing three felony cases against individuals arrested at UCLA in relation to violence during last spring’s protests.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, the city attorney’s office is reviewing 93 misdemeanor cases from USC and 210 from UCLA, according to information it provided to CalMatters last month.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lilyan Zwirzina, a junior at Cal Poly Humboldt, was among the students arrested in the early morning of April 30 following protesters occupying a campus building and ignoring orders to disperse from the university. Law enforcement took her to Humboldt County Correctional Facility, where she faced four misdemeanor charges, including resisting arrest. Zwirzina thought she’d have to cancel her study abroad semester, which conflicted with the court date she was given.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I was pretty frustrated and kind of freaked out,” Zwirzina said.

Orange County District Attorney Todd Spitzer is pursuing misdemeanor charges against 50 people, including two UCI professors, a teaching assistant, and 26 students, stemming from a protest at UC Irvine on Oct. 22, 2023. Charges include failure to disperse, resisting arrest and vandalism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Pomona College, 19 students were arrested on April 5 on charges of trespassing after some protesters entered and refused to leave an administrative building. Students arrested either had their cases dismissed or have accepted community service in lieu of further legal action. James Gutierrez, the attorney representing the arrested students, said he asked that the college drop charges against its students, citing their right to protest the use of paid tuition dollars.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They are righteously demanding that their colleges, the ones they pay tuition to and housing fees and pour a lot of money into, that that university or college stop investing in companies that are directly supporting this genocide and indirectly supporting it,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>Students fight back against campus protest policies\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>As administrators face the challenge of applying protest policies more uniformly and swiftly, the truer test of California public higher education institutions’ protest rules will be playing out in court.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In one already resolved case, UC leadership agreed in August to comply with a court order requiring the campus to end programs or events that exclude Jewish students. A federal judge ruled some Jewish students in support of Israel who were blocked from entering the encampment had their religious liberties violated — though some Jewish students did participate in UCLA’s protest encampment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, students have filed at least two lawsuits against their campuses and the UC system for violating their rights while ending student encampments last spring. In September, ACLU NorCal filed suits against the UC and UC Santa Cruz for not providing students due process when they immediately barred arrested students from returning to campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those students should have gotten a hearing, an opportunity to defend themselves or to explain themselves, and the school would have shown evidence of why they created a risk of disturbance on campus,” Chessie Thacher, senior staff attorney at ACLU of Northern California, said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Santa Cruz spokesperson Scott Hernandez-Jason said the university “appreciates the court’s careful deliberation” and that the university “is committed to upholding the right to free expression while also protecting the safety of its campus community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October, ACLU SoCal filed lawsuits on behalf of two students and two faculty members against the UC and UCLA, alleging the actions the university took to break down the encampment violated their free speech rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UCLA spokesperson Ricardo Vazquez told CalMatters via email that the university would respond in court and that UCLA “fully supports community members expressing their First Amendment rights in ways that do not violate the law, our policies, jeopardize community safety, or disrupt the functioning of the university.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The encampment that arose on campus this spring became a focal point for violence, a disruption to campus, and was in violation of the law,” Vazquez said in the email statement. “These conditions necessitated its removal.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Diaper changing tables and cribs are in place. Teachers are hired. Dozens of preschools and child care centers across California are just waiting for the licenses they need to care for infants and toddlers, but a change in state fire regulations has disrupted their operations and forced them to turn away or delay enrolling thousands of children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We already have a shortage of infant and toddler care. This just exasperates it,” said Stacey Scarborough, director of an Early Head Start program for Venice Family Clinic, a health care and social service organization in Los Angeles. She said her agency had almost finished converting the ground floor of a homeless family shelter into an Early Head Start center when she heard about \u003ca href=\"https://codes.iccsafe.org/s/CABC2022P1/chapter-3-occupancy-classification-and-use/CABC2022P1-Ch03-Sec305.2\">an updated state building code\u003c/a>, limiting five babies and toddlers per classroom unless the child care facility has a sprinkler system, fire walls and other fire safety equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Architects and contractors didn’t know they had to install sprinklers, which meant Scarborough would need to spend more time and money to make the upgrade — or lower enrollment and staff and risk losing her federal grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation went into effect in 2023, but a lack of communication by state regulators left child care centers in the dark. They found out about it earlier this year when they applied for licenses to care for children under 3 and failed to obtain fire clearance. The rule change comes at a time when many child care centers are seeking to serve more younger kids as they lose 3- and 4-year-olds to California’s expansion of transitional kindergarten and other public preschool programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Public Health Experts Optimistic Emergency Declaration Can Help With Bird Flu Outbreak \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This week, Governor Gavin Newsom declared \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12019022/newsom-declares-bird-flu-emergency-as-u-s-sees-1st-severe-human-case\">a state of emergency\u003c/a> in response to the ongoing spread of bird flu among dairy cattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>State health officials are expected to release more details about what that will mean at a briefing Friday. But Alyssa Laxamana is hopeful. She works at California’s only lab testing animals and milk for bird flu. She says she’s been struggling to keep up. “I have worked 12 hour days. A couple of my other co-workers have worked 13 hour days, 10 hour days,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dr. Peter Chin-Hong is an infectious disease specialist at UC San Francisco. “We can control the speed of the train, and we can put buffers on the rails so that the train moves slower, and I think that’s what that emergency declaration is trying to do,” he said. Chin-Hong hopes it will help different agencies collaborate, and lead to more incentives for testing.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Advocates File Lawsuit Over Situation In Gaza\u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>Northern California advocates \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/legal/lawsuit-alleges-us-failed-evacuate-palestinian-americans-trapped-gaza-2024-12-20/\">are suing the U.S government\u003c/a> for failing to rescue Americans trapped in Gaza.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nafez Aboelreich is the brother of one of the plaintiffs, a California woman who became trapped during a trip to visit family last year, and is still there. “In one situation they were bombing around them and she was hiding and running with my brothers and nephews,” he said. “She sustained injuries to her ankle that was fractured and they had to carry her around because she couldn’t walk on it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The lawsuit claims the State Department discriminated against Americans of Palestinian origin by abandoning them in a war zone, and not making the same effort that it would for Americans of different origins in similar situations.\u003c/p>\n\n",

Public health experts say the declaration is likely a good thing. \u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Northern California advocates \u003ca href=\"https://www.reuters.com/legal/lawsuit-alleges-us-failed-evacuate-palestinian-americans-trapped-gaza-2024-12-20/\">are suing the U.S. State Department \u003c/a>for failing to evacuate Americans trapped in Gaza. They argue that the U.S. has quickly evacuated Americans from other conflict zones, including Israeli-Americans after the October 7 Hamas attacks last year.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003ch2>\u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12017819/huge-lack-of-communication-how-a-building-code-update-disrupted-child-care-centers-in-california\">\u003cstrong>Lack Of Communication Over Updated Building Code Leaves Child Care Centers In Limbo\u003c/strong>\u003c/a>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>The renovations are done. Diaper changing tables and cribs are in place. Teachers are hired. Dozens of preschools and child care centers across California are just waiting for the licenses they need to care for infants and toddlers, but a change in state fire regulations has disrupted their operations and forced them to turn away or delay enrolling thousands of children.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We already have a shortage of infant and toddler care. This just exasperates it,” said Stacey Scarborough, director of an Early Head Start program for Venice Family Clinic, a health care and social service organization in Los Angeles. She said her agency had almost finished converting the ground floor of a homeless family shelter into an Early Head Start center when she heard about \u003ca href=\"https://codes.iccsafe.org/s/CABC2022P1/chapter-3-occupancy-classification-and-use/CABC2022P1-Ch03-Sec305.2\">an updated state building code\u003c/a>, limiting five babies and toddlers per classroom unless the child care facility has a sprinkler system, fire walls and other fire safety equipment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Architects and contractors didn’t know they had to install sprinklers, which meant Scarborough would need to spend more time and money to make the upgrade — or lower enrollment and staff and risk losing her federal grant.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The regulation went into effect in 2023, but a lack of communication by state regulators left child care centers in the dark. They found out about it earlier this year when they applied for licenses to care for children under 3 and failed to obtain fire clearance. The rule change comes at a time when many child care centers are seeking to serve more younger kids as they lose 3- and 4-year-olds to California’s expansion of transitional kindergarten and other public preschool programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch2>\u003cstrong>Public Health Experts Optimistic Emergency Declaration Can Help With Bird Flu Outbreak \u003c/strong>\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>This week, Governor Gavin Newsom declared \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12019022/newsom-declares-bird-flu-emergency-as-u-s-sees-1st-severe-human-case\">a state of emergency\u003c/a> in response to the ongoing spread of bird flu among dairy cattle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
