The 49ers are required to pay $170,000 for public safety costs per game at Levi's, according to the terms of the team's lease. The problem? Security costs have consistently run over.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/news/2016/02/18/new-santa-clara-mayor-vows-openness-in-dealings-with-49ers-developers/\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Clara Mayor Lisa Gillmor\u003c/a> said some of the security cost overruns are being billed to the city's general fund, eating up taxpayer money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"It's my understanding it's still going on,\" Gillmor said. \"We have to stop the bleeding now. We have to stop it because I've heard from police officers and firefighters that it's still happening in Santa Clara.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gillmor said Sellers, who was elected chief in 2012 before the stadium opened, has failed to pressure the 49ers for more money when the team's management wants more cops to deal with parking lot brawls. She is supporting Nikolai for police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can't have a private business, which the 49ers are, making public safety decisions for our city,\" Gillmor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sellers says it's unfair to blame him for the city leaders' decision to cap the amount of money the 49ers must pay; he wasn't even chief at the time. Sellers thinks the 49ers should be responsible for all security costs. After all, he said, the city and team are in a long-term lease, and they have to get along.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11147186\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-medium wp-image-11147186\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"Santa Clara Police Chief Mike Sellers campaigns in front of Levi's Stadium.\" width=\"800\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-800x600.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-160x120.jpg 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-1020x765.jpg 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-1180x885.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-960x720.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-240x180.jpg 240w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-375x281.jpg 375w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/10/RS21637_FullSizeRender-qut-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Santa Clara Police Chief Mike Sellers campaigns in front of Levi's Stadium. \u003ccite>(Beth Willon/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\"We cannot get a divorce after two years, two and a half, three years,\" Sellers said. \"We've got 40 years here, and we've got to make it work.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But rival Nikolai said Sellers hasn't been tough enough.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think he could have stepped up a long time ago and gotten more money from the 49ers.

The 49ers are required to pay $170,000 for public safety costs per game at Levi's, according to the terms of the team's lease. The problem?

We have to stop it because I've heard from police officers and firefighters that it's still happening in Santa Clara.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gillmor said Sellers, who was elected chief in 2012 before the stadium opened, has failed to pressure the 49ers for more money when the team's management wants more cops to deal with parking lot brawls. She is supporting Nikolai for police chief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We can't have a private business, which the 49ers are, making public safety decisions for our city,\" Gillmor said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sellers says it's unfair to blame him for the city leaders' decision to cap the amount of money the 49ers must pay; he wasn't even chief at the time. Sellers thinks the 49ers should be responsible for all security costs.

On the other hand, jail staff told interviewers that the jail's administration often exercises favoritism in meting out discipline and \"sometimes rushes to hold officers accountable before culpability has been established.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The perceived combination of 'sweep it under the rug' culture with 'throw officers under the bus' reactions from administration results in staff morale that is reported to be exceedingly low,\" the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jodie Smith, the attorney who presented the report's findings Saturday, said both inmates and correctional staff view the jail's system for filing and acting on grievances as broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system requires inmates to hand grievance slips directly to correctional officers, the report says, adding that many prisoners report that officers simply refuse to take the slips or tear them up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys said many inmates report that guards retaliate against those who complain, with some saying they avoid filing grievances because they fear the consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They didn’t want to be locked down,\" Smith said of the inmates. \"They didn’t want to have strip searches, they didn’t want to have force used against them, they didn’t want to receive disciplinary infractions, and they feared, based on their observations of others, that’s what would happen to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Laurie Smith, an ex-officio member of the blue ribbon commission, listened intently to the findings. Following the four-hour meeting, she wrote in a statement, “We are not waiting for every report to be issued before we take action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said locked grievance collection boxes were being installed in all facilities “so that inmates feel safe in making a complaint.\" She vowed to implement a complaint-tracking process \"to ensure those complaints don't fall on deaf ears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaDoris Cordell, the retired Superior Court judge who heads the commission, says she plans to discuss a response to the findings at a meeting March 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel will also consider recommendations from a separate \u003ca href=\"http://sccgov.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=146742\" target=\"_blank\">review of jail policies and procedures\u003c/a> from special consultant Aaron Zisser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser, an attorney who previously served with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, called Santa Clara’s grievance system “a mess,” with serious flaws that result in “critical failures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser found jail staff made no distinction between minor grievances and serious allegations -- and that claims of serious misconduct and incidents involving serious use of force, other serious misconduct and failure to report a use of force often were not referred for investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There really isn’t any meaningful independent oversight,” Zisser told the panel Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser recommended the establishment of an independent oversight entity that has authority to enforce inmates’ rights and has full access to jail facilities, data, records, staff and administrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser said the agency should be fully independent from the sheriff’s office and report directly to the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was produced as a project for the California Data Fellowship, a program of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerforhealthjournalism.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Health Journalism\u003c/a> at the \u003ca href=\"http://annenberg.usc.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

On the other hand, jail staff told interviewers that the jail's administration often exercises favoritism in meting out discipline and \"sometimes rushes to hold officers accountable before culpability has been established.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The perceived combination of 'sweep it under the rug' culture with 'throw officers under the bus' reactions from administration results in staff morale that is reported to be exceedingly low,\" the report said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Jodie Smith, the attorney who presented the report's findings Saturday, said both inmates and correctional staff view the jail's system for filing and acting on grievances as broken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The system requires inmates to hand grievance slips directly to correctional officers, the report says, adding that many prisoners report that officers simply refuse to take the slips or tear them up.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Attorneys said many inmates report that guards retaliate against those who complain, with some saying they avoid filing grievances because they fear the consequences.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They didn’t want to be locked down,\" Smith said of the inmates. \"They didn’t want to have strip searches, they didn’t want to have force used against them, they didn’t want to receive disciplinary infractions, and they feared, based on their observations of others, that’s what would happen to them.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sheriff Laurie Smith, an ex-officio member of the blue ribbon commission, listened intently to the findings. Following the four-hour meeting, she wrote in a statement, “We are not waiting for every report to be issued before we take action.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Smith said locked grievance collection boxes were being installed in all facilities “so that inmates feel safe in making a complaint.\" She vowed to implement a complaint-tracking process \"to ensure those complaints don't fall on deaf ears.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>LaDoris Cordell, the retired Superior Court judge who heads the commission, says she plans to discuss a response to the findings at a meeting March 5.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The panel will also consider recommendations from a separate \u003ca href=\"http://sccgov.iqm2.com/Citizens/FileOpen.aspx?Type=4&ID=146742\" target=\"_blank\">review of jail policies and procedures\u003c/a> from special consultant Aaron Zisser.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser, an attorney who previously served with the U.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division, called Santa Clara’s grievance system “a mess,” with serious flaws that result in “critical failures.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser found jail staff made no distinction between minor grievances and serious allegations -- and that claims of serious misconduct and incidents involving serious use of force, other serious misconduct and failure to report a use of force often were not referred for investigation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There really isn’t any meaningful independent oversight,” Zisser told the panel Saturday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser recommended the establishment of an independent oversight entity that has authority to enforce inmates’ rights and has full access to jail facilities, data, records, staff and administrators.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Zisser said the agency should be fully independent from the sheriff’s office and report directly to the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This article was produced as a project for the California Data Fellowship, a program of the \u003ca href=\"http://www.centerforhealthjournalism.org/\" target=\"_blank\">Center for Health Journalism\u003c/a> at the \u003ca href=\"http://annenberg.usc.edu/\" target=\"_blank\">USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

"content": "\u003cp>NFL turf consultant George Toma has been called everything from \"the god of sod\" to \"the nitty-gritty dirt man\" after preparing the natural turf for every single Super Bowl.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And if any stadium needs the 86-year-old's golden rake, it's Levi's. The sod has been replaced several times, partly because chunks of dirt have been popping up and plaguing the 49ers new digs in Santa Clara for two years. In October, a Baltimore Ravens placekicker missed a field goal when the sod fell apart underneath him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toma is confident that will not happen when Super Bowl 50 is played at Levi's on Feb. 7. He is among dozens of groundskeepers laying down 75,000 square feet of new Super Bowl sod that came rolled up like enormous rugs. The NFL installs new sod for every Super Bowl, using natural turf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This field will be superb for these Super Bowl athletes. Like a golf green,\" said Toma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The old sod was ripped out a week ago when the NFL took control of Levi's Stadium to prepare it for Super Bowl 50. The new sod -- grown by Palm Springs supplier West Coast Turf -- is expected to be completely installed by Tuesday night, said Ed Mangan, the NFL's field director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"We worked the sand base, and today we started installing the new sod,\" said Mangan on Monday morning.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That's accomplished by rolling out the turf in strips, with dirt on one side and thick grass on the other.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10829489\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 640px\">\u003cimg class=\"wp-image-10829489 size-large\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut-1440x810.jpg\" alt=\"The lush Super Bowl sod is grown on top of plastic making for stronger roots.\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut-1440x810.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut-400x225.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut-800x450.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut-768x432.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut-1180x664.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS18002_sod1-qut-960x540.jpg 960w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The lush Super Bowl sod is grown on top of plastic making for stronger roots. \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Levi's earlier sod problems, Toma said, are partly because the stadium had the wrong sand base.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The sand was more like scrabble so it never firmed up. You can see the sand now. You can drive over it with all these tractors,\" said Toma. \"The earlier problems were because the roots had the wrong sand.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He said the key to getting the Super Bowl grass so thick -- and ready for massive football players to run on -- is to grow it on plastic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The roots have no place to go, so they intertwine together in a network of roots,\" said Toma. \"...The other sod doesn't have the network of roots. You cut the roots off, you hurt the sod. But on plastic, it's grown right on top and you just roll it up like a rug.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mangan said the grass is called Hybrid Bermuda 419 Overseeded With Perennial Rye, but he wouldn't discuss how much the NFL pays for it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_10829376\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 400px\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-10829376\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-400x223.jpg\" alt=\"Two dozen crew members lay down the new Super Bowl turf at Levi's Stadium.\" width=\"400\" height=\"223\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-400x223.jpg 400w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-800x445.jpg 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-768x427.jpg 768w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-1440x801.jpg 1440w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1.jpg 1920w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-1180x656.jpg 1180w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-960x534.jpg 960w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2016/01/RS17999_sod-install-qut-1-1038x576.jpg 1038w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two dozen crew members lay down the new Super Bowl turf at Levi's Stadium. \u003ccite>(Adam Grossberg/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>His biggest worry now isn't the cost of the turf but the cost of rain, El Niño style.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Removing this field, we did most of that in the rain.

The sod has been replaced several times, partly because chunks of dirt have been popping up and plaguing the 49ers new digs in Santa Clara for two years. In October, a Baltimore Ravens placekicker missed a field goal when the sod fell apart underneath him.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Toma is confident that will not happen when Super Bowl 50 is played at Levi's on Feb. 7. He is among dozens of groundskeepers laying down 75,000 square feet of new Super Bowl sod that came rolled up like enormous rugs. The NFL installs new sod for every Super Bowl, using natural turf.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"This field will be superb for these Super Bowl athletes. Like a golf green,\" said Toma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The old sod was ripped out a week ago when the NFL took control of Levi's Stadium to prepare it for Super Bowl 50. The new sod -- grown by Palm Springs supplier West Coast Turf -- is expected to be completely installed by Tuesday night, said Ed Mangan, the NFL's field director.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The concentration of tech companies has long made the region a target. Many companies do surveillance and security work for the federal government and military. Asked if this makes Super Bowl 50 an even greater terrorist target, Guido says these companies actually are a positive because they have the experts and technology to detect problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think having those companies here is helpful,\" says Guido, noting the \"infrastructure they provide, the experience they provide, the knowledge they provide.\"\u003c/p>\n\n",

The only event to get higher security preparations is the Presidential Inauguration, the NFL says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That will be clear to anyone with a ticket to the Super Bowl, says Jim Mercurio, general manager of the 49ers and Levi's Stadium. Law enforcement will be visible in a big way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"As you arrive in the parking lot you'll see security. As you walk to the entry gates of the facility you'll see them,\" says Mercurio. \"You'll see them on the concourses and you'll see them on the field. You'll see them in the tunnels and you'll see them in the streets.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This kind of high-level security preparation extends to activities leading up to the game and taking place in different locations. Keith Bruce, president and CEO of the San Francisco Bay Area \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbaysuperbowl.com/#jEdfRqKhPtRqX30C.97\" target=\"_blank\">Super Bowl 50 Host Committee\u003c/a>, says there will be bag checks and secure entrances at Super Bowl City in San Francisco's Justin Herman Plaza and the NFL Experience at Moscone Center; at Super Bowl Opening Night at San Jose's SAP Center; a possible Super Bowl concert in Oakland; and at the Stanford University and San Jose State University Super Bowl teams' practice fields.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The real estate -- just the sheer scale of the Bay Area -- does make it more challenging in terms of making sure the security resources are in place,\" says Bruce.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The NFL expects a total of 1 million people to attend the events from San Francisco to Santa Clara.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Bay Area is no stranger to security issues, especially Silicon Valley. The concentration of tech companies has long made the region a target. Many companies do surveillance and security work for the federal government and military. Asked if this makes Super Bowl 50 an even greater terrorist target, Guido says these companies actually are a positive because they have the experts and technology to detect problems.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"I think having those companies here is helpful,\" says Guido, noting the \"infrastructure they provide, the experience they provide, the knowledge they provide.\"\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

(Charla Bear/KQED)\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Since 1996, Santa Clara County has encouraged legal permanent residents to become naturalized citizens and has worked to\u003cstrong> \u003c/strong>integrate immigrants in the region. A new report by the University of Southern California's Center for the Study of Immigrant Integration says those efforts are lessons for the rest of California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"There's a clear need for a statewide body to invest in immigrant integration,\" Vanessa Carter, a data analyst at the center and an author of the report, said in a call with reporters. \"This body could help coordinate immigrant integration efforts and, in the end, could help build a more resilient California.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Immigrants constitute about 27 percent of California's population, and nearly half of the children in the state have at least one immigrant parent, according to the center. How successfully immigrants and their families integrate in California \"is something in everyone's interest,\" said Manuel Pastor, director of the center.\u003c!--more-->\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara ranks first out of 10 major regions in the state in immigrant integration, according to the \u003ca href=\"http://csii.usc.edu/CAimmSCORECARD.html\" target=\"_blank\">report\u003c/a>. The analysis, released last week and the first of its kind, measured immigrants' economic mobility and civic participation. It also considered how welcoming their adopted regions were, based on indicators such as the availability of immigrant-serving organizations, civic infrastructure for naturalization and availability of English courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers used 28 indicators – including demographic and economic census figures, test scores from the California High School Exit Exam, school performance data and news media coverage of immigration – to compare immigrants with their U.S.-born, non-Hispanic white counterparts in each region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastor said that while some regional variations in part reflect differences in the composition of immigrants, the immigrant population throughout California generally is very diverse. Regional differences also were the product of local policies and practices, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis found the smallest economic gaps between immigrants and their native-born white counterparts in Santa Clara, San Diego and Sacramento counties. Immigrants' economic standing over time improved most in San Joaquin, Orange and Santa Clara counties. And although San Francisco and Los Angeles were among the most welcoming regions in the state, immigrants there faced grim economic situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That San Joaquin offered a rosier economic trajectory than San Francisco was not surprising, researchers said. Immigrants who arrive in San Francisco and make economic gains might leave for more affordable locales, while others who are more affluent or poor may remain so and stay in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The very high cost of living showed us that immigrants are having trouble around economics\" in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a five-point scale, only Santa Clara scored perfectly in one category: civic engagement. The score is a reflection of the county's high rate of naturalization and English-speaking immigrants. But because regions' scores are relative to one another, researchers said there is still room for improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara, 46 percent of adults are immigrants, and nearly 1 in 4 is a naturalized immigrant. By comparison, in Fresno, which ranked lowest in civic engagement, 29 percent of adults are immigrants, and 9 percent are naturalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara encourages all eligible immigrants to become citizens, said Teresa Castellanos, lead program coordinator for the county's Immigration Relations and Integration Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castellanos' office holds an annual event in 14 languages to teach immigrants about and help them through the naturalization process. The biggest barriers to naturalization are lack of understanding of the process and language, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Language-specific programs are about not just luxury, but about access,\" Castellanos said. \"If people don't understand what exists, they can't access it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county maintains an \u003ca href=\"http://www.immigrantinfo.org/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">online list of classes\u003c/a> teaching citizenship and English as a second language. In recent years, the number of classes has shrunk from 1,200 to about 700 or fewer, Castellanos said. At the same time, the number of immigrants seeking those classes has increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English learners are falling behind academically in every region of California, the report found. Researchers said immigrants need greater opportunities to learn English in the state.\u003c/p>\n\n",

The analysis, released last week and the first of its kind, measured immigrants' economic mobility and civic participation. It also considered how welcoming their adopted regions were, based on indicators such as the availability of immigrant-serving organizations, civic infrastructure for naturalization and availability of English courses.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Researchers used 28 indicators – including demographic and economic census figures, test scores from the California High School Exit Exam, school performance data and news media coverage of immigration – to compare immigrants with their U.S.-born, non-Hispanic white counterparts in each region.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pastor said that while some regional variations in part reflect differences in the composition of immigrants, the immigrant population throughout California generally is very diverse. Regional differences also were the product of local policies and practices, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The analysis found the smallest economic gaps between immigrants and their native-born white counterparts in Santa Clara, San Diego and Sacramento counties. Immigrants' economic standing over time improved most in San Joaquin, Orange and Santa Clara counties. And although San Francisco and Los Angeles were among the most welcoming regions in the state, immigrants there faced grim economic situations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That San Joaquin offered a rosier economic trajectory than San Francisco was not surprising, researchers said. Immigrants who arrive in San Francisco and make economic gains might leave for more affordable locales, while others who are more affluent or poor may remain so and stay in the city.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The very high cost of living showed us that immigrants are having trouble around economics\" in San Francisco and Los Angeles, Carter said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On a five-point scale, only Santa Clara scored perfectly in one category: civic engagement. The score is a reflection of the county's high rate of naturalization and English-speaking immigrants. But because regions' scores are relative to one another, researchers said there is still room for improvement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In Santa Clara, 46 percent of adults are immigrants, and nearly 1 in 4 is a naturalized immigrant. By comparison, in Fresno, which ranked lowest in civic engagement, 29 percent of adults are immigrants, and 9 percent are naturalized.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Santa Clara encourages all eligible immigrants to become citizens, said Teresa Castellanos, lead program coordinator for the county's Immigration Relations and Integration Services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Castellanos' office holds an annual event in 14 languages to teach immigrants about and help them through the naturalization process. The biggest barriers to naturalization are lack of understanding of the process and language, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Language-specific programs are about not just luxury, but about access,\" Castellanos said. \"If people don't understand what exists, they can't access it.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county maintains an \u003ca href=\"http://www.immigrantinfo.org/index.html\" target=\"_blank\">online list of classes\u003c/a> teaching citizenship and English as a second language. In recent years, the number of classes has shrunk from 1,200 to about 700 or fewer, Castellanos said. At the same time, the number of immigrants seeking those classes has increased.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>English learners are falling behind academically in every region of California, the report found. Researchers said immigrants need greater opportunities to learn English in the state.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",
