His work has appeared on Newsweek.com, Slate.com, CBSNews.com, MotherJones.com, DailyKos.com and NPR’s web site. Fiore’s political animation has appeared on CNN, Frontline, Bill Moyers Journal, Salon.com and cable and broadcast outlets across the globe.\r\n\r\nBeginning his professional life by drawing traditional political cartoons for newspapers, Fiore’s work appeared in publications ranging from the Washington Post to the Los Angeles Times. In the late 1990s, he began to experiment with animating political cartoons and, after a short stint at the San Jose Mercury News as their staff cartoonist, Fiore devoted all his energies to animation.\r\nGrowing up in California, Fiore also spent a good portion of his life in the backwoods of Idaho. It was this combination that shaped him politically. Mark majored in political science at Colorado College, where, in a perfect send-off for a cartoonist, he received his diploma in 1991 as commencement speaker Dick Cheney smiled approvingly.\r\nMark Fiore was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for political cartooning in 2010, a Robert F. Kennedy Journalism Award in 2004 and has twice received an Online Journalism Award for commentary from the Online News Association (2002, 2008). Fiore has received two awards for his work in new media from the National Cartoonists Society (2001, 2002), and in 2006 received The James Madison Freedom of Information Award from The Society of Professional Journalists.",

A fellow student bullied her. She got beat up, her hair pulled, and was called names like “enana,” or dwarf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, she was able to transfer to Oakland International High School, a school with students from all over the world, with an intense focus on English development and academic content.

The district responded by opening up new programs, hiring a coordinator to track and support those students who had crossed the border alone and working to connect students to legal services and mental health therapy.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>District leaders found that these students are more likely than others to drop out before finishing high school.

School starts an hour later and ends an hour earlier than a traditional high school, with classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. This allows students to get to work in the afternoon, and to sleep in after working late at night. There’s no homework. And credits are earned on a six-week cycle, allowing students to constantly assess their progress toward graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a schedule that worked for Yamileth, who was also working as a dishwasher in a restaurant while going to school. She didn’t get off work until 11:00 p.m. and often wouldn’t get home until midnight. Sometimes, she says, she would miss four days of school in a row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I didn’t stop my studies,” she said in Spanish. “When I would come back to school, I would find out how far I was behind and I would go early to make up my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Principal Emma Batten-Bowman says getting students to show up to class is a big challenge, but she and other staff try to offer flexibility, allowing a student who is a mother to go home and breastfeed between classes, for example, or giving students time off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly talking to the students about, ‘Let us know if your schedule changes, we can put you on independent study for a short time, or we can work something out. Let us figure out a plan together. Don’t just drop off the face of the earth,’” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>One of the biggest challenges for many recent newcomers from Central America is missed years of schooling in their home countries, either because they lived in rural communities where junior high or high school was not available, or because it was dangerous to attend school because of gangs. When newcomers haven’t yet mastered academic reading, writing, or math in their home language, they have a lot more to learn in order to grasp high-school level material.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Not only do they need to practice phonics, but they need to learn how to read a map. They need to know, like, you put the holes on the left and write your name on the right, some basic school skills organization,” Batten-Bowman said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamileth says she felt more confident at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We were all learning English,\" she said, \"so I knew there was no one who knew more than I did.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11731745\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg\" alt=\"A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School.\" width=\"800\" height=\"534\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-11731745\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-800x534.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-160x107.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1020x681.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592-1200x801.jpg 1200w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/03/RS35673__DSC6592.jpg 1919w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A student arriving to class in the morning at Rudsdale Newcomer High School. \u003ccite>(Stephanie Lister/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>The school also offers some internships to improve students’ work skills.

They can't be deported back to Honduras, and this year, they can apply for permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months later, she returned to Oakland International High School to seek out an old counselor to ask for help registering for cosmetology classes at a local community college. The steps proved somewhat daunting — at the college, someone asked Yamileth about her immigration status and asked her for more paperwork. The interaction left Yamileth thinking she might have to pay more than she could afford for classes and she decided she would wait to register until she has her green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Yamileth says she’s made it this far, and she isn’t ready to give up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She fled beatings in Honduras after her mother refused to pay gang members a portion of her revenue from a clothing business. On the journey north, in Mexico, Yamileth, her mother and little brother were kidnapped at a bus station and held by a group of people who claimed to part of a drug cartel. One day, when their captors had gone out to collect ransom money for another captive, they were able to escape. Yamileth says it was an act of God — she was the one who found the door unlocked and told her mother and brother to run as fast as they could. She didn't join them until she was sure it was safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since God gave me the opportunity to be here,” she said in Spanish, “I have to make the most of that, most of all for my mom, for her future and for mine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to open her own business. She says she’s always had a good head for it, helping her mother sell clothes and food back in Honduras from the time she was nine. Maybe she’ll open her own beauty parlor. Or maybe a restaurant. Or maybe she’ll become a veterinarian, drawing on the dog-care skills she learned at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels like her whole future could open up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was first published by \u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2019-02-25/newcomer-students-face-daunting-obstacles-graduate-california-high-school-makes\">Public Radio International\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>It was reported in collaboration with \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org\">EdSource\u003c/a> and with support from the \u003ca href=\"https://www.ewa.org\">Education Writers Association\u003c/a> Reporting Fellowship.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

She was already in the middle of her senior year of high school back in Honduras. The Oakland Unified School District enrolled her in the ninth grade because she didn’t speak English and she had no school records with her. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Yamileth stopped going to class just after a few months. A fellow student bullied her. She got beat up, her hair pulled, and was called names like “enana,” or dwarf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Eventually, she was able to transfer to Oakland International High School, a school with students from all over the world, with an intense focus on English development and academic content.

But these schools usually don't offer English as second language classes or have staff with expertise in teaching and supporting newcomers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Classes at Rudsdale are small. School starts an hour later and ends an hour earlier than a traditional high school, with classes starting at 9:30 a.m. and ending at 2:30 p.m. This allows students to get to work in the afternoon, and to sleep in after working late at night. There’s no homework. And credits are earned on a six-week cycle, allowing students to constantly assess their progress toward graduation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a schedule that worked for Yamileth, who was also working as a dishwasher in a restaurant while going to school.

Sometimes, she says, she would miss four days of school in a row.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“But I didn’t stop my studies,” she said in Spanish. “When I would come back to school, I would find out how far I was behind and I would go early to make up my work.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assistant Principal Emma Batten-Bowman says getting students to show up to class is a big challenge, but she and other staff try to offer flexibility, allowing a student who is a mother to go home and breastfeed between classes, for example, or giving students time off.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re constantly talking to the students about, ‘Let us know if your schedule changes, we can put you on independent study for a short time, or we can work something out.

He ran into a former student who had transferred to Rudsdale and the difference was palpable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“He was sharing he had an internship in a hospital and he was super excited. I never saw him that excited about education when I had him for a whole year,” Torres said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yamileth enrolled in a dog care elective, where newcomer students spent time every week at a farmhouse where mistreated pit bulls are rehabilitated with loving care.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Futures Open Up\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>In June 2018, Yamileth finally graduated, just days before her 21st birthday. She wore a white cap and gown.

They can't be deported back to Honduras, and this year, they can apply for permanent residency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A few months later, she returned to Oakland International High School to seek out an old counselor to ask for help registering for cosmetology classes at a local community college. The steps proved somewhat daunting — at the college, someone asked Yamileth about her immigration status and asked her for more paperwork. The interaction left Yamileth thinking she might have to pay more than she could afford for classes and she decided she would wait to register until she has her green card.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, Yamileth says she’s made it this far, and she isn’t ready to give up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She fled beatings in Honduras after her mother refused to pay gang members a portion of her revenue from a clothing business. On the journey north, in Mexico, Yamileth, her mother and little brother were kidnapped at a bus station and held by a group of people who claimed to part of a drug cartel. One day, when their captors had gone out to collect ransom money for another captive, they were able to escape. Yamileth says it was an act of God — she was the one who found the door unlocked and told her mother and brother to run as fast as they could. She didn't join them until she was sure it was safe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Since God gave me the opportunity to be here,” she said in Spanish, “I have to make the most of that, most of all for my mom, for her future and for mine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She wants to open her own business. She says she’s always had a good head for it, helping her mother sell clothes and food back in Honduras from the time she was nine. Maybe she’ll open her own beauty parlor. Or maybe a restaurant. Or maybe she’ll become a veterinarian, drawing on the dog-care skills she learned at Rudsdale.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It feels like her whole future could open up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was first published by \u003ca href=\"https://www.pri.org/stories/2019-02-25/newcomer-students-face-daunting-obstacles-graduate-california-high-school-makes\">Public Radio International\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

From 2007-08 to 2017-18, the period we examined, more than half of California’s school districts—many of them suburban—authorized no charters at all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Charter school expansion seems to correlate with poverty in California. More than half of the state’s charter enrollment is in districts where most students get free and reduced-price lunches. And many of the hotspots are in and around big urban areas with high concentrations of low income kids.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In some districts where charter enrollment has spiked, the rise appears to be less about community demand than a loophole that, as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/audit-school-districts-reap-millions-oking-far-flung-charters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state auditors\u003c/a> have noted, let a few small, mostly rural districts make money by authorizing charter schools that draw enrollment from outside their boundaries.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And though claims abound, it’s hard to know how just much charter growth is impacting traditional schools’ budgets, in part because state law doesn’t let districts consider the potential fiscal drain when authorizing new charters.

Among large urban districts, data show, Oakland has the state’s highest concentration of charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But L.A. and Oakland are exceptions. There were 73 school districts in CALmatters’ database with total enrollments higher than 20,000 students—a group that accounts for more than half of the state’s public school enrollment. Of those, only 18 (San Diego, San Francisco and Chula Vista Elementary school districts also were among them) had more than 10 percent of their total enrollment in charters. Dominating that list were districts in big cities and poorer communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In far more of California’s districts, charter schools are scarcely an option. Two dozen other big districts—in populous suburbs such as Irvine, Garden Grove, Fontana and Chino Valley in Orange and San Bernardino counties—authorized no charter schools at all in the past decade. This could suggest that there is either little demand or effort to establish charters in these communities, or intense resistance from districts toward authorizing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, more than half of California’s school districts—650, of all sizes—authorized zero charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And where charters had been okayed, more than half of the statewide enrollment—350,000 students—was concentrated in school districts where more than 60 percent of students get free or reduced-price lunches, an indicator of poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11728490\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11728490\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS35214_OUSD_MOORE_025-qut-1-800x553.jpg\" alt='Ellie Kerwin, a junior in high school, holds a sign that reads \"I Hella Love Oakland Teachers\" as she walks down Broadway St. during the Oakland student walkout on Friday Feb. 8, 2019.

But a 2017 state audit pinpointed a handful of districts that had authorized charters as far as 50 miles outside their geographic boundaries—a lucrative arrangement that had increased revenue tenfold in at least one district, though the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bsa.ca.gov/reports/2016-141/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">auditor also found\u003c/a> that the districts weren’t necessarily delivering the oversight for which they were paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly one-fifth of the state’s 2017-18 total charter enrollment came from schools authorized by the state’s smallest school districts, according to CALmatters’ analysis. Excluding county education offices, districts that had less than 1,500 students in traditional public schools accounted for more than 108,000 charter students, or about 17 percent, state data show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s directory of public schools shows that some of the charter schools authorized by small districts with the most dramatically disproportionate charter enrollments have addresses that are far outside their boundaries. But state auditors noted that it is difficult to tally exactly how many charters operate with far-flung authorizers. The state does not require charter schools to report the locations of all of their classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, some of these small districts, such as Acton-Agua Dulce Unified in rural Los Angeles County and Dehesa Elementary School District in eastern San Diego County, experienced dramatic charter growth in the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dehesa, which enrolled 145 traditional district kids in 2017-18, grew its charter enrollment from 676 students in 2007-08 to more than 8,500 last year. Acton-Agua Dulce, which enrolled 1,080 students in its district schools last year, grew the number of charter students it oversees from 165 in 2012-13 to nearly 14,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to 2012, the Acton district—in the isolated high desert between Santa Clarita and Palmdale—had not authorized any charters.

But it’s tricky to accurately isolate the costs of enrollment lost to charters; according to the California Charter School Association, about a quarter of charters are “district dependent,” meaning they operate within a district’s financial and governance structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11728499\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11728499\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS8992_Photo3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Students talk after class at Lighthouse Charter School in Oakland.

But a CALmatters analysis of statewide charter enrollment data paints a far more nuanced picture, in which charter growth is more a collection of densely concentrated hotspots than a statewide phenomenon.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Though California’s charter school enrollment more than doubled during the past decade, from nearly 250,000 kids to about 630,000, only about 10 percent of the state’s 6.2 million public school students are enrolled in charters, according to state data. From 2007-08 to 2017-18, the period we examined, more than half of California’s school districts—many of them suburban—authorized no charters at all.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>Charter school expansion seems to correlate with poverty in California. More than half of the state’s charter enrollment is in districts where most students get free and reduced-price lunches. And many of the hotspots are in and around big urban areas with high concentrations of low income kids.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In some districts where charter enrollment has spiked, the rise appears to be less about community demand than a loophole that, as \u003ca href=\"https://calmatters.org/articles/audit-school-districts-reap-millions-oking-far-flung-charters/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">state auditors\u003c/a> have noted, let a few small, mostly rural districts make money by authorizing charter schools that draw enrollment from outside their boundaries.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>And though claims abound, it’s hard to know how just much charter growth is impacting traditional schools’ budgets, in part because state law doesn’t let districts consider the potential fiscal drain when authorizing new charters.

Among large urban districts, data show, Oakland has the state’s highest concentration of charter schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But L.A. and Oakland are exceptions. There were 73 school districts in CALmatters’ database with total enrollments higher than 20,000 students—a group that accounts for more than half of the state’s public school enrollment. Of those, only 18 (San Diego, San Francisco and Chula Vista Elementary school districts also were among them) had more than 10 percent of their total enrollment in charters. Dominating that list were districts in big cities and poorer communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In far more of California’s districts, charter schools are scarcely an option. Two dozen other big districts—in populous suburbs such as Irvine, Garden Grove, Fontana and Chino Valley in Orange and San Bernardino counties—authorized no charter schools at all in the past decade. This could suggest that there is either little demand or effort to establish charters in these communities, or intense resistance from districts toward authorizing them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Overall, more than half of California’s school districts—650, of all sizes—authorized zero charters.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And where charters had been okayed, more than half of the statewide enrollment—350,000 students—was concentrated in school districts where more than 60 percent of students get free or reduced-price lunches, an indicator of poverty.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11728490\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11728490\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS35214_OUSD_MOORE_025-qut-1-800x553.jpg\" alt='Ellie Kerwin, a junior in high school, holds a sign that reads \"I Hella Love Oakland Teachers\" as she walks down Broadway St. during the Oakland student walkout on Friday Feb. 8, 2019.

But a 2017 state audit pinpointed a handful of districts that had authorized charters as far as 50 miles outside their geographic boundaries—a lucrative arrangement that had increased revenue tenfold in at least one district, though the \u003ca href=\"http://www.bsa.ca.gov/reports/2016-141/index.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">auditor also found\u003c/a> that the districts weren’t necessarily delivering the oversight for which they were paid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nearly one-fifth of the state’s 2017-18 total charter enrollment came from schools authorized by the state’s smallest school districts, according to CALmatters’ analysis. Excluding county education offices, districts that had less than 1,500 students in traditional public schools accounted for more than 108,000 charter students, or about 17 percent, state data show.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The state’s directory of public schools shows that some of the charter schools authorized by small districts with the most dramatically disproportionate charter enrollments have addresses that are far outside their boundaries. But state auditors noted that it is difficult to tally exactly how many charters operate with far-flung authorizers. The state does not require charter schools to report the locations of all of their classrooms.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In any case, some of these small districts, such as Acton-Agua Dulce Unified in rural Los Angeles County and Dehesa Elementary School District in eastern San Diego County, experienced dramatic charter growth in the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Dehesa, which enrolled 145 traditional district kids in 2017-18, grew its charter enrollment from 676 students in 2007-08 to more than 8,500 last year. Acton-Agua Dulce, which enrolled 1,080 students in its district schools last year, grew the number of charter students it oversees from 165 in 2012-13 to nearly 14,000.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Prior to 2012, the Acton district—in the isolated high desert between Santa Clarita and Palmdale—had not authorized any charters.

But it’s tricky to accurately isolate the costs of enrollment lost to charters; according to the California Charter School Association, about a quarter of charters are “district dependent,” meaning they operate within a district’s financial and governance structures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11728499\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1920px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-11728499\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2019/02/RS8992_Photo3-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Students talk after class at Lighthouse Charter School in Oakland.

She was also slow to support legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. Harris also declined to take a position on Proposition 47, a progressive measure that reduced some non-violent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. Voters approved it in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What I hope we have in a president is someone who isn't afraid to be a true leader and take some brave courageous stances even if they're not sure that a crowd of people preceded them and are falling behind them,\" Bazelon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Putting all that in the balance, Harris's law enforcement record could pose the biggest problem if she wins the nomination and her opposition to the death penalty becomes the focus of her Republican opponent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course that's a challenge she'd be happy to take on.\u003c/p>\n\n",

She was also slow to support legalizing the recreational use of marijuana. Harris also declined to take a position on Proposition 47, a progressive measure that reduced some non-violent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors. Voters approved it in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"What I hope we have in a president is someone who isn't afraid to be a true leader and take some brave courageous stances even if they're not sure that a crowd of people preceded them and are falling behind them,\" Bazelon said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Putting all that in the balance, Harris's law enforcement record could pose the biggest problem if she wins the nomination and her opposition to the death penalty becomes the focus of her Republican opponent.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
