At issue is a parent-participation program that created separate classes for students whose parents volunteered to help out at school. The problem: Parents from the largely white Rose Garden neighborhood turned out in droves, while far fewer parents from poorer, mostly Latino neighborhoods were present. As a result, the school ended up with mostly white students in its Parent Involvement in Education classrooms. \u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2011/06/17/BU2A1JUJ27.DTL&type=business\">Amazon tax bill makes it to Gov.

The idea to cut the agencies from the state budget has been around since at least January, when Gov. Jerry Brown included it in his earliest proposal to close a multibillion dollar deficit. Wednesday night’s news, which came as legislators also approved a budget package, threw many Oakland city staffers into survival mode and the city began moving more than $100 million around through property transfers, leases and project proposals, in hopes of protecting Oakland should the ax fall on the agency.\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003c/li>\u003cli>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mercurynews.com/news/ci_18293668\">San Jose school parents say bigger, not better, is bad plan for parent volunteer program\u003c/a> (San Jose Mercury News)\u003cbr>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>In a conflict studded with racial pitfalls and playing out at Trace Elementary School, a program to lure middle-class families back to public schools has run head-on into San Jose Unified’s three-decade-old promise to integrate its classrooms. And as the district teeters along a fine legal line, it may end up alienating the very parents it once hoped to recruit. At issue is a parent-participation program that created separate classes for students whose parents volunteered to help out at school. The problem: Parents from the largely white Rose Garden neighborhood turned out in droves, while far fewer parents from poorer, mostly Latino neighborhoods were present.
