Our maintenance team puts all these beautiful decorations up. And when you walk into the building, it’s one of my favorite things to see is families that come on a regular tradition and they walk in and they see the Christmas tree on the ice and they see Snoopy and his Santa outfit in the lobby. And it’s just it’s just magical for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:33] And is is it been a tradition for you?

Have you been going here all your life?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tamara Stanley \u003c/strong>[00:03:39] Yes, I grew up in Santa Rosa. And I was I was born one year before the ice arena. And it’s been part of my life for my whole life. I remember coming here as we still do have school groups come here on a school bus, learn how to skate birthday parties. I remember coming for those. And then also, obviously the shows and that kind of thing, the hockey games, the senior hockey game in the middle of the summer. It’s the coolest place to be in town for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:13] We’re really. I’m excited to go in. I don’t know about you guys. Let’s do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tamara Stanley \u003c/strong>[00:04:19] It’s a ruckus in there. Let’s do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:26] So I’m inside Snoopy’s home Ice with Gabe Meline, senior editor, arts and culture at KQED. Gave This is a very special place to you. This is my first time in here. But you’ve been here many, many times. I am already a maid. This is not how I imagined it to look. Can you just describe this space for me? All right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:04:48] Well, this is a building. The ice arena was built in 1969, and it really has not changed at all since. It’s exactly like it was when I learned how to skate here when I was five. It has a Swiss Alps theme when it was built, Charles Schulz, his wife, sent a local photographer, Don Meacham, to Switzerland to photograph like villages and nature and mountains and everything. And they replicated that inside here, which you’ll see, you know, just about everyone who grew up in Santa Rosa has been here, learned to skate here, has been to events here, has been a holiday shows here. It’s a really special place. And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that having a daughter certainly helped. So it’s part of our tradition every Christmas Eve to come here and just sign up for public skate and skate around the ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:44] Should I wonder if we should go up and talk a little bit more about the history? So it’s a little quieter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:58] Okay, so we’re in the DJ booth where I’m assuming is where they cue all the vince Guaraldi music. Gabe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:07] Dino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:08] So I know Vince Guaraldi, who, you know, made the Christmas album for the Charlie Brown Christmas. He’s from San Francisco, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:06:17] Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:18] How did that these two minds come together?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:06:23] I think it was the producers of that show that put them in touch. One of them was a big jazz fan. But Vince Guaraldi, he would play just small little clubs around San Francisco, the jazz workshop. He did a secret concert at Grace Cathedral. He was just like a local San Francisco jazz pianist. And, boy, that that soundtrack is very, very good. And it’s got legs. It’s still very popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:58] Yeah. And we’re up here because it’s pretty, it’s pretty loud and busy today. It’s a Saturday, so we’re going to find some quiet place to talk with Gabe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:14] This place. I mean, obviously, it’s very Charlie Brown themed. And maybe for folks who aren’t familiar with the connection between Peanuts and the creator of Peanuts, Charles Schulz, but for people who don’t know, can you tell us a little bit about his connection to the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:07:35] Charles Schulz grew up in Minnesota, and he was an avid ice hockey enthusiast. He moved around a little bit, but he settled here first in Sebastopol and then in Santa Rosa in Santa Rosa. At that time, there was only one ice arena on the east side of town on Summerfield Road, and that closed in the late 60s. But he always dreamed of a bigger, better facility. You know, he was a serious ice hockey person from Minnesota. So he and his wife, Joyce at the time decided to build this ice arena. And he went to the owners of the former ice rink and said, hey, we’re going to build a new ice arena. Will you run it? And they did not hesitate. They said yes, absolutely, for sure. One of those people was Skippy Baxter and Skippy Baxter’s name, like, looms very large here. And just in Santa Rosa at large. Skippy Baxter was an incredible ice skater. In fact, Ripley’s Believe It or Not reported that Skippy was the first person to land a triple salchow, which is when you’re skating, you leap into the air, you spin around three times, and you land on one skate. Skippy Baxter. I lived in a house across the parking lot here that the Schultz’s built for him to live at, and he taught me how to ice skate here on the ice. He taught generations of Santa Rosa how to skate Skippy Baxter really was sort of the heart and soul of this place. He was in his 90s when he died. This was like the concert venue for Santa Rosa. For a long time. There wasn’t really a performing arts center here until 1981. So people like, as you can see on the wall here, like Anne Marie played here. Buck Owens played here, Liberace played here. We have a friend of the family who saw Helen Reddy here. And there was a little known comedian who opened up for her named David Letterman. They were just they would cover up the ice. And there’s people sitting in the bleachers. And it was just like the place where you would see whatever touring act there was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:54] It seems like this place is so much a part of your life if you grew up in Santa Rosa. But for me, who did not grow up here but who still grew up in the Bay Area, I literally have never heard of this place until I think you mentioned it. I mean, like, why do you think that is? I mean, I come here and it seems like such a special and amazing place, but also sort of a hidden gem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:10:20] I don’t exactly know why people haven’t heard of it, but I’m kind of glad that they haven’t. You know, like you say, like I think if they marketed it heavily or, you know, really pushed it, especially around Christmas time, you’d think they could, you know, tie in to the Charlie Brown Christmas special or something, but it might mess up what’s special about it. I don’t want it to change. And it really hasn’t in the last 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jesse Silva \u003c/strong>[00:10:59] I had my birthday party here when I was a kid for like at least 12 years straight. So I’m now 30. I’ve been coming here for a year. So now we’re here just having fun doing public skate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Andrew Oldfield \u003c/strong>[00:11:12] Yeah. My first and last is Andrew Oldfield. I actually recently just came back with my daughter last year and today is her fourth birthday. So it’s it’s very nostalgic and fun for us to come. I’ve always loved the holiday decor and looking at the little villages on the sides of the walls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jona Marchbanks \u003c/strong>[00:11:34] Hello, I’m Jona Marchbanks. I mean, the staff is really nice. I just like the vibe here, honestly. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:11:51] I can point out some of the features to you as we’re putting on our skates. So you’ll see these facades of Swiss houses all around. Those are the houses that that photographer Don Meacham took photos of in Switzerland and came back. And so they recreated them all around the perimeter of the ice arena. Then there’s these large murals that the photographer’s wife worked on, and those are also photos from Switzerland in the 60s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:21] Gabe, is this your first time on ice? This this December?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:25] Yeah. Yeah. And I will say, these. These old knees are a little rusty. We’ll see how long I stay vertical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:33] I’m scared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:38] On this side of the colored dots is for kids with the buckets to learn how to skate. So stay on this side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:46] Okay, but what if I need the wall?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:49] The. You will have the wall around the entire other perimeter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:53] Okay. All right. We’re going. We’re going on ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:56] Do you need a hand?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:56] I do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:56] Okay. Here we go!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:03] I’m sweating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:13:04] How are we doing, Ericka?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:06] I’m. I’m. They’re playing new jeans. They’re playing K-Pop. It’s very scary. But I was getting the hang of it over time. I was getting the hang of it. How are you doing, Alan?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:13:19] Good. I fell down. It happened slowly enough that I. You know, I think just back bruises only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:28] It was cartoon. A little cartoonish. I saw the. The wobbly arms that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:13:32] Much like Charlie Brown slipping and falling while trying to kick the football. Right. A 33 year old Filipino man fell in his spot in the ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:44] All right. And now we’re going to get some hot chocolate at the Warm Puppy Cafe. So now we’re standing in line here at the Warm Puppy Cafe at Snoopy’s home ice. Lots of people here drinking hot chocolate, seeking a pretzel. It’s pretty crowded in here. Almost every seat is taken except for one, Right. Can you tell me about that seat in the corner over there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:14:16] Over in the corner, right next to the fireplace. There’s a reserved sign on that table. Nobody ever sits there. And that was Charles Schultz’s table. Every day he would come here and sit at that table. And so after he died in 2000, right after his final strip ran, they’ve kept it empty as a tribute to him. Wow. Charles Schulz. He worked right across the street here. That’s where his studio was. And he would finish his daily strip. And then he’d come over here and he’d, like, have lunch. It was expensive to build this place. It cost a little under $2 million, which is about $16 million in today’s money. And Charles Schulz and his first wife, Joyce, really put a lot into it. I mean, not just money, but time and effort and sort of arguing with the city. And they argued about money when they were building this place. And within three years, they divorced. Months later, his first wife, Joyce, married their contractor for the ice arena. Well, yeah. But Charles Schulz was also having an affair with a much younger woman. And I just think, like, man, like going to this temple of a really rough time in your life. When I learned about the struggles and the time in Charles Schulz’s life when they built this place. I was like, yeah, that’s Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa is a good example of that thing where like, the suburbs look really nice and happy and joyful, but then there’s like this sort of menace beneath the surface little bit. A lot of movies that have been made here have that theme. Alfred Hitchcock film, Shadow of a Doubt Here in the 40s, even in the 90s, Scream was filmed here. And the inverse of that is like this, like overly joyful, like everything is wonderful. When I think about Christmas, like, what is Christmas? But a lot of forced merriment, this sort of like fake it till you make it like, okay, we’re all going to be happy for this month, you know? And I like that tension with the holiday season. I like that. I, you know, like Judy Garland singing. You know what? Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow, like our Merle Haggard singing. Like, if we make it through December and like, you’re acknowledging the coldness and the darkness and the, you know, sort of inherent sadness of it all. So you have to convince yourself to believe that things are good. It’s an interesting framework to think about your hometown that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:08] I don’t know what the second chord of this is. I was trying to look it up f major seven. E-flat seven. Now, that can’t be right. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:17:40] Thank you so much for bringing us to this amazing place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:45] I’m so glad you came. This is my favorite thing to do is show people around my hometown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:17:49] And you’ll be back here before Christmas, right? As part of your tradition with your daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:53] Every December 24th, we’re out there on the ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:56] All right. Well, if you want to see Gabe on ice yourself, you know where to find him. Gabe Flynn, senior editor of arts and culture for KQED, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">[00:18:08] \u003c/span>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Thanks, Ericka. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\n",

And I’m standing here with –\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tamara Stanley \u003c/strong>[00:02:18] Tamara Stanley, general manager.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:02:22] Tamara, tell me about this place and what goes on here.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tamara Stanley \u003c/strong>[00:02:26] Well, Snoopy’s home ice, originally redwood Empire Ice Arena, was actually built here in 1969 by the Schulz family. And it was built not only as an ice arena, but a gathering place for the community. And it continues to be it’s definitely a special, special spot here in Santa Rosa and also the Bay Area. It is an ice arena. We have a cafe, the Warm Puppy Cafe, with the best cocoa around. And we have the Snoopy’s gallery and gift shop, which is fantastic. And then our neighbor is the Charles Schulz Museum.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:02:56] And you’re open year round, right? But I feel like this is a particularly special time to come. Is that right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tamara Stanley \u003c/strong>[00:03:02] We are. We’re open year round and we get you know, I think we have three closed days of the year and then we take it up a notch during the holidays. It’s fantastic. Our maintenance team puts all these beautiful decorations up. And when you walk into the building, it’s one of my favorite things to see is families that come on a regular tradition and they walk in and they see the Christmas tree on the ice and they see Snoopy and his Santa outfit in the lobby. And it’s just it’s just magical for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:03:33] And is is it been a tradition for you? Are you from Santa Rosa as well? Have you been going here all your life?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tamara Stanley \u003c/strong>[00:03:39] Yes, I grew up in Santa Rosa. And I was I was born one year before the ice arena. And it’s been part of my life for my whole life. I remember coming here as we still do have school groups come here on a school bus, learn how to skate birthday parties. I remember coming for those. And then also, obviously the shows and that kind of thing, the hockey games, the senior hockey game in the middle of the summer. It’s the coolest place to be in town for sure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:13] We’re really. I’m excited to go in. I don’t know about you guys. Let’s do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Tamara Stanley \u003c/strong>[00:04:19] It’s a ruckus in there. Let’s do it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:04:26] So I’m inside Snoopy’s home Ice with Gabe Meline, senior editor, arts and culture at KQED. Gave This is a very special place to you. This is my first time in here. But you’ve been here many, many times. I am already a maid. This is not how I imagined it to look. Can you just describe this space for me? All right.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:04:48] Well, this is a building. The ice arena was built in 1969, and it really has not changed at all since. It’s exactly like it was when I learned how to skate here when I was five. It has a Swiss Alps theme when it was built, Charles Schulz, his wife, sent a local photographer, Don Meacham, to Switzerland to photograph like villages and nature and mountains and everything. And they replicated that inside here, which you’ll see, you know, just about everyone who grew up in Santa Rosa has been here, learned to skate here, has been to events here, has been a holiday shows here. It’s a really special place. And as I’ve gotten older, I’ve realized that having a daughter certainly helped. So it’s part of our tradition every Christmas Eve to come here and just sign up for public skate and skate around the ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:44] Should I wonder if we should go up and talk a little bit more about the history? So it’s a little quieter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:05:58] Okay, so we’re in the DJ booth where I’m assuming is where they cue all the vince Guaraldi music. Gabe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:07] Dino.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:08] So I know Vince Guaraldi, who, you know, made the Christmas album for the Charlie Brown Christmas. He’s from San Francisco, right?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:06:17] Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:18] How did that these two minds come together?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:06:23] I think it was the producers of that show that put them in touch. One of them was a big jazz fan. But Vince Guaraldi, he would play just small little clubs around San Francisco, the jazz workshop. He did a secret concert at Grace Cathedral. He was just like a local San Francisco jazz pianist. And, boy, that that soundtrack is very, very good. And it’s got legs. It’s still very popular.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:06:58] Yeah. And we’re up here because it’s pretty, it’s pretty loud and busy today. It’s a Saturday, so we’re going to find some quiet place to talk with Gabe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:07:14] This place. I mean, obviously, it’s very Charlie Brown themed. And maybe for folks who aren’t familiar with the connection between Peanuts and the creator of Peanuts, Charles Schulz, but for people who don’t know, can you tell us a little bit about his connection to the city?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:07:35] Charles Schulz grew up in Minnesota, and he was an avid ice hockey enthusiast. He moved around a little bit, but he settled here first in Sebastopol and then in Santa Rosa in Santa Rosa. At that time, there was only one ice arena on the east side of town on Summerfield Road, and that closed in the late 60s. But he always dreamed of a bigger, better facility. You know, he was a serious ice hockey person from Minnesota. So he and his wife, Joyce at the time decided to build this ice arena. And he went to the owners of the former ice rink and said, hey, we’re going to build a new ice arena. Will you run it? And they did not hesitate. They said yes, absolutely, for sure. One of those people was Skippy Baxter and Skippy Baxter’s name, like, looms very large here. And just in Santa Rosa at large. Skippy Baxter was an incredible ice skater. In fact, Ripley’s Believe It or Not reported that Skippy was the first person to land a triple salchow, which is when you’re skating, you leap into the air, you spin around three times, and you land on one skate. Skippy Baxter. I lived in a house across the parking lot here that the Schultz’s built for him to live at, and he taught me how to ice skate here on the ice. He taught generations of Santa Rosa how to skate Skippy Baxter really was sort of the heart and soul of this place. He was in his 90s when he died. This was like the concert venue for Santa Rosa. For a long time. There wasn’t really a performing arts center here until 1981. So people like, as you can see on the wall here, like Anne Marie played here. Buck Owens played here, Liberace played here. We have a friend of the family who saw Helen Reddy here. And there was a little known comedian who opened up for her named David Letterman. They were just they would cover up the ice. And there’s people sitting in the bleachers. And it was just like the place where you would see whatever touring act there was.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:09:54] It seems like this place is so much a part of your life if you grew up in Santa Rosa. But for me, who did not grow up here but who still grew up in the Bay Area, I literally have never heard of this place until I think you mentioned it. I mean, like, why do you think that is? I mean, I come here and it seems like such a special and amazing place, but also sort of a hidden gem.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:10:20] I don’t exactly know why people haven’t heard of it, but I’m kind of glad that they haven’t. You know, like you say, like I think if they marketed it heavily or, you know, really pushed it, especially around Christmas time, you’d think they could, you know, tie in to the Charlie Brown Christmas special or something, but it might mess up what’s special about it. I don’t want it to change. And it really hasn’t in the last 50 years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jesse Silva \u003c/strong>[00:10:59] I had my birthday party here when I was a kid for like at least 12 years straight. So I’m now 30. I’ve been coming here for a year. So now we’re here just having fun doing public skate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Andrew Oldfield \u003c/strong>[00:11:12] Yeah. My first and last is Andrew Oldfield. I actually recently just came back with my daughter last year and today is her fourth birthday. So it’s it’s very nostalgic and fun for us to come. I’ve always loved the holiday decor and looking at the little villages on the sides of the walls.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Jona Marchbanks \u003c/strong>[00:11:34] Hello, I’m Jona Marchbanks. I mean, the staff is really nice. I just like the vibe here, honestly. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:11:51] I can point out some of the features to you as we’re putting on our skates. So you’ll see these facades of Swiss houses all around. Those are the houses that that photographer Don Meacham took photos of in Switzerland and came back. And so they recreated them all around the perimeter of the ice arena. Then there’s these large murals that the photographer’s wife worked on, and those are also photos from Switzerland in the 60s.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:21] Gabe, is this your first time on ice? This this December?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:25] Yeah. Yeah. And I will say, these. These old knees are a little rusty. We’ll see how long I stay vertical.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:33] I’m scared.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:38] On this side of the colored dots is for kids with the buckets to learn how to skate. So stay on this side.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:46] Okay, but what if I need the wall?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:49] The. You will have the wall around the entire other perimeter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:53] Okay. All right. We’re going. We’re going on ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:56] Do you need a hand?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:12:56] I do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:12:56] Okay. Here we go!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:03] I’m sweating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:13:04] How are we doing, Ericka?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:06] I’m. I’m. They’re playing new jeans. They’re playing K-Pop. It’s very scary. But I was getting the hang of it over time. I was getting the hang of it. How are you doing, Alan?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:13:19] Good. I fell down. It happened slowly enough that I. You know, I think just back bruises only.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:28] It was cartoon. A little cartoonish. I saw the. The wobbly arms that.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Alan Montecillo \u003c/strong>[00:13:32] Much like Charlie Brown slipping and falling while trying to kick the football. Right. A 33 year old Filipino man fell in his spot in the ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:13:44] All right. And now we’re going to get some hot chocolate at the Warm Puppy Cafe. So now we’re standing in line here at the Warm Puppy Cafe at Snoopy’s home ice. Lots of people here drinking hot chocolate, seeking a pretzel. It’s pretty crowded in here. Almost every seat is taken except for one, Right. Can you tell me about that seat in the corner over there?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:14:16] Over in the corner, right next to the fireplace. There’s a reserved sign on that table. Nobody ever sits there. And that was Charles Schultz’s table. Every day he would come here and sit at that table. And so after he died in 2000, right after his final strip ran, they’ve kept it empty as a tribute to him. Wow. Charles Schulz. He worked right across the street here. That’s where his studio was. And he would finish his daily strip. And then he’d come over here and he’d, like, have lunch. It was expensive to build this place. It cost a little under $2 million, which is about $16 million in today’s money. And Charles Schulz and his first wife, Joyce, really put a lot into it. I mean, not just money, but time and effort and sort of arguing with the city. And they argued about money when they were building this place. And within three years, they divorced. Months later, his first wife, Joyce, married their contractor for the ice arena. Well, yeah. But Charles Schulz was also having an affair with a much younger woman. And I just think, like, man, like going to this temple of a really rough time in your life. When I learned about the struggles and the time in Charles Schulz’s life when they built this place. I was like, yeah, that’s Santa Rosa. Santa Rosa is a good example of that thing where like, the suburbs look really nice and happy and joyful, but then there’s like this sort of menace beneath the surface little bit. A lot of movies that have been made here have that theme. Alfred Hitchcock film, Shadow of a Doubt Here in the 40s, even in the 90s, Scream was filmed here. And the inverse of that is like this, like overly joyful, like everything is wonderful. When I think about Christmas, like, what is Christmas? But a lot of forced merriment, this sort of like fake it till you make it like, okay, we’re all going to be happy for this month, you know? And I like that tension with the holiday season. I like that. I, you know, like Judy Garland singing. You know what? Until then, we’ll have to muddle through somehow, like our Merle Haggard singing. Like, if we make it through December and like, you’re acknowledging the coldness and the darkness and the, you know, sort of inherent sadness of it all. So you have to convince yourself to believe that things are good. It’s an interesting framework to think about your hometown that way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:08] I don’t know what the second chord of this is. I was trying to look it up f major seven. E-flat seven. Now, that can’t be right. Yeah.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:17:40] Thank you so much for bringing us to this amazing place.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:45] I’m so glad you came. This is my favorite thing to do is show people around my hometown.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Ericka Cruz Guevarra \u003c/strong>[00:17:49] And you’ll be back here before Christmas, right? As part of your tradition with your daughter.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:53] Every December 24th, we’re out there on the ice.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cstrong>Gabe Meline \u003c/strong>[00:17:56] All right. Well, if you want to see Gabe on ice yourself, you know where to find him. Gabe Flynn, senior editor of arts and culture for KQED, thank you so much.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Originarios de la ciudad mexicana de Puerto Vallarta, lo habían dejado todo atrás para empezar de nuevo en el Norte de la Bahía, donde matriculó a sus dos hijos en el Distrito escolar unificado de Oak Grove, que atiende a familias en la zona este de Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pesar de no hablar inglés y trabajar medio tiempo limpiando casas, Cruz quería formar parte de la educación de sus hijos y empezó a trabajar como voluntaria en eventos escolares y excursiones. “Fue como encontrar una familia”, dice, “te abrían cordialmente las puertas en cualquier evento de la escuela aunque no hablábamos su idioma”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De los aproximadamente 800 alumnos matriculados en los dos centros escolares de Oak Grove, alrededor de un tercio son latinos, y muchos de ellos también están aprendiendo inglés como segundo idioma. Cuando sus hijos crecieron y se trasladaron a otro distrito para cursar la preparatoria, Cruz conservó muchas de las amistades que hizo con padres y maestros. Años más tarde, ella y su marido tuvieron un tercer hijo, una niña, supo que quería volver a Oak Grove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su hija pequeña tiene ahora 9 años y cursa tercero de primaria en Oak Grove. Esta vez, Cruz dice que los alumnos hispanoparlantes están aún más atendidos en las aulas, gracias a Ana Castillo-Williams, la enlace bilingüe de tiempo parcial del distrito. Castillo-Williams se encarga de que toda la comunicación con los padres esté disponible tanto en inglés como en español, traduce en las reuniones entre padres y maestros y además ayuda a organizar los eventos multiculturales del distrito, como la celebración del Día de los Niños.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ella se ganó la confianza de las familias, porque hay muchas familias que no se atreven a hacer presencia en las escuelas porque no tienen el idioma”, dijo Cruz. “Trabaja con ellas para que tengan el valor de hacer presencia, que su voz sea escuchada en las escuelas”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, el 13 de marzo, la junta directiva de Oak Grove \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/13QfcRaf_zQFgwVCBQvkgyvNvZlgrCzh7/view\">votó a favor de recortar las horas de 10 puestos\u003c/a>, eliminando la del enlace bilingüe, ya que el distrito busca cerrar las brechas presupuestarias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Desde el anuncio del distrito, Cruz y docenas de otros padres \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/oak-grove-union-spanish-speaking-parents-protest-district-firing-its-only-t/\">han liderado protestas semanales exigiendo que el distrito revierta su decisión\u003c/a>. Han conseguido el apoyo de la comunidad en general, incluido el sindicato de maestros y grupos activistas como North Bay Organizing Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En todos los distritos escolares del Área de la Bahía, los padres inmigrantes han demostrado su capacidad de movilización, con o sin el inglés. En Oakland, los padres que hablan Mam \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11855640/how-native-speakers-are-helping-1300-mam-students-in-oakland-through-remote-learning\">se organizaron para ayudar a otras familias indígenas adaptarse a la educación a distancia durante la pandemia\u003c/a>. En San Francisco, los padres de habla cantonesa lideraron los esfuerzos para aprobar la Propuesta N en 2016, \u003ca href=\"https://www.cbsnews.com/sanfrancisco/news/sf-school-board-non-citizen-voting-upheld-proposition-n-california-court-of-appeal/\">la cual permite a los padres y tutores no ciudadanos votar en las elecciones de la junta escolar\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En Oak Grove, las familias argumentan que sin el puesto de enlace bilingüe, la brecha entre los estudiantes latinos y sus compañeros seguirá creciendo. Y los padres dicen que no piensan dar un paso atrás en sus demandas.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>Lucha por “la justicia del lenguaje”\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>El 8 de marzo, administradores de Oak Grove tenían prevista su primera reunión desde haber aprobado los recortes de personal. Incluso antes de que comenzara la reunión, decenas de padres ya protestaban frente al gimnasio de Willowside Middle School, donde se reúne el consejo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Con pancartas en las que se leía “protegamos a nuestro enlace bilingüe” y “justicia del lenguaje”, los padres y miembros de la comunidad coreaban: “¡Amber, escucha, estamos en la lucha!” en referencia a la Superintendente del distrito, Amber Stringfellow.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990148\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1536px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11990148 size-full\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/WILLOWSIDE-SCHOOL.jpg\" alt=\"El patio de una escuela.

La publicación The Press Democrat informó por primera vez en febrero de que \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/state-budget-better-than-expected-but-sonoma-county-school-districts-still/\">Oak Grove es uno de los tres distritos en el condado que enfrentan una seria presión financiera\u003c/a> ya que sus reservas están por debajo de los requisitos estatales. Con todos los recortes de personal anunciados en marzo, el distrito espera ahorrar 237 mil 242 dólares, pero los funcionarios siguen buscando más opciones de frenar el gasto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“El distrito entiende y se compromete a proporcionar vías de comunicación para nuestra comunidad, incluidos nuestros padres y tutores que no dominan el inglés”, dijo Stringfellow. Añadió que el distrito ofrece pago adicional a otros miembros del personal que son bilingües para que colaboren con los servicios de traducción.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, para algunos maestro, conseguir que otros empleados del distrito asuman el papel de enlace bilingüe no es una solución.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tenemos a 13 personas que reciben un pago adicional por asumir estas labores”, dijo la profesora de sexto grado Cari Cardle, quien también es una de las líderes del sindicato de maestros de primaria de Oak Grove Union. “Pero, ¿sabes qué? Esas 13 personas tienen un trabajo. Y no es ser enlace bilingüe. No es ser intérprete”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cardle lleva 25 años enseñando en Oak Grove. Sea cual sea el tema, ella dice que lo puede enseñar, pero añade que con el tiempo, la responsabilidad de los maestros en las aulas ha aumentado considerablemente. “La salud mental, la salud física, el aspecto de las redes sociales, todas esas cosas han cambiado este trabajo de manera dramática”, y añade, “esa es la parte que sí es difícil”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero todo esto pasa para establecer relaciones con los alumnos y sus familias, dijo. Esto es especialmente importante para los estudiantes que estan aprendiendo inglés como segundo idioma, que tienen que aprender el material a doble velocidad para ponerse al nivel de sus compañeros.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lo único que importa en un sistema escolar para el éxito de los estudiantes son los vínculos”, dijo Cardle. “Si no tienes una conexión, no vas a sacar lo mejor del niño”.[aside label='Más en español' tag='kqed-en-espanol']Ahí es donde Castillo-Williams ha desempeñado un papel clave como enlace bilingüe, explica Cardle. Cuando ocurría algo en casa, los padres hispanohablantes llamaban al enlace bilingüe, no a los maestros ni a los administradores de la escuela. Varios padres comentaron a KQED que ellos sienten un gran nivel de confianza con Castillo-Williams y sostienen que ella es el único miembro del personal con quien podían hablar cómodamente sobre asuntos familiares delicados. (La propia Castillo-Williams no estaba disponible para hablar con KQED para este reportaje).\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Y no sólo se benefician las familias. También los maestros, ya que podemos ayudar a los niños porque tenemos una vía para saber qué está pasando”, dijo Cardle. En su reunión de marzo, más del 90% del sindicato de maestros votó a favor de apoyar la demanda de los padres de recuperar el enlace bilingüe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“¿Cómo se llega a ese niño que no tiene lo que necesita?”. dijo Cardle. “Si tienen hambre, no pueden aprender”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>\u003cstrong>‘No nos podemos quedar callados’\u003c/strong>\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Los distritos escolares de California se enfrentan a déficits cada vez mayores. El Distrito escolar unificado de San Francisco \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11978035/sfusd-considers-school-closures-and-mergers-amid-declining-enrollment\">podría sufrir un déficit presupuestario de 100 millones de dólares el año que viene\u003c/a>, y el distrito prevé que el número de alumnos siga disminuyendo a lo largo de la década.

En muchas reuniones de consejos escolares a lo largo del estado, la pregunta central es, “¿Qué recortar?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, el grupo de padres hispanohablantes de Oak Grove afirma que sin el enlace bilingüe, será más difícil para los estudiantes latinos recuperar el aprendizaje perdido durante la pandemia.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Según los \u003ca href=\"https://caaspp-elpac.ets.org/caaspp/DashViewReportSB?ps=true&lstTestYear=2023&lstTestType=B&lstGroup=1&lstSubGroup=1&lstGrade=13&lstSchoolType=A&lstCounty=49&lstDistrict=70839-000&lstSchool=0000000&lstFocus=a\">datos de las pruebas estatales\u003c/a>, aproximadamente el 52% de todos los estudiantes en las escuelas de Oak Grove alcanzaron o superaron los estándares de lengua y literatura en inglés (o ELA por sus siglas en inglés) al final del año escolar 2022-23. En matemáticas, ese número fue del 42%. Entre los estudiantes que se identifican como latinos o hispanos, los números son más bajos: 42% en ELA y 28% en matemáticas. Si bien múltiples estudios han confirmado que los resultados de las pruebas estandarizadas \u003ca href=\"https://www.forbes.com/sites/petergreene/2024/02/10/research-shows-what-state-standardized-tests-actually-measure/?sh=352fad7375e5\">rara vez son buenos indicadores del éxito de los estudiantes\u003c/a>, estos datos pueden mejor usarse para identificar las necesidades de los estudiantes.[aside postID=\"news_11986750\" label=\"Lea este reportaje en inglés\" hero=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2024/05/20240514_OAKGROVEUNIONDISTRICTPARENTS-3-KQED-1020x680.jpg\"]“No podemos quedarnos calladas cuando vemos cómo continúan ignorando a nuestra comunidad hispana”, dijo la madre María Gayosso en la reunión del distrito del 8 de marzo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si un grupo de estudiantes tiene dificultades, eso también podría afectar a otros estudiantes, dijo Rhianna Casesa, profesora de la Universidad estatal de California en Sonoma. Su investigación se centra en la educación bilingüe y trabaja con muchos jóvenes maestros que quieren enseñar en las escuelas de Sonoma.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Desde 2017, el Condado de Sonoma ha pasado por un trauma tras otro, como los incendios forestales, COVID-19, inundaciones”, dijo. “Si no sabes cómo es desde la perspectiva de un niño o desde la perspectiva de un padre, realmente es difícil enseñar de manera apropiada a ese niño en ese salón de clases”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y por eso es tan importante que los padres digan lo que piensan, añade la investigadora.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Algo que he visto que ocurre cada vez con mayor frecuencia es que los padres exigen lo que se merecen”, dice. “Los padres se sienten ahora con capacidad para plantear estas exigencias porque, en última instancia, es el dinero de sus impuestos”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En Oak Grove, el consejo escolar está considerando un proceso para reincorporar puestos una vez que el presupuesto del próximo año esté finalizado en junio. La próxima reunión es el 17 de junio, la cual decenas de padres de familia planean asistir y exigir de nuevo que se recupera la posición del enlace bilingüe.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seguirán manifestandose semana tras semana, dice Sandra Cruz. “Creo que lo más importante es la semilla que sembramos en nuestros hijos”, ella agregó. “Los hacemos sentir más fuertes”.\u003c/p>\n\u003chr>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>Este artículo fue traducido por la periodista \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/mpena/\">María Peña\u003c/a> y esa traducción fue editada por el periodista \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/author/ccabreralomeli\">Carlos Cabrera-Lomelí\u003c/a>.\u003c/em>\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

Originarios de la ciudad mexicana de Puerto Vallarta, lo habían dejado todo atrás para empezar de nuevo en el Norte de la Bahía, donde matriculó a sus dos hijos en el Distrito escolar unificado de Oak Grove, que atiende a familias en la zona este de Santa Rosa.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A pesar de no hablar inglés y trabajar medio tiempo limpiando casas, Cruz quería formar parte de la educación de sus hijos y empezó a trabajar como voluntaria en eventos escolares y excursiones. “Fue como encontrar una familia”, dice, “te abrían cordialmente las puertas en cualquier evento de la escuela aunque no hablábamos su idioma”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>De los aproximadamente 800 alumnos matriculados en los dos centros escolares de Oak Grove, alrededor de un tercio son latinos, y muchos de ellos también están aprendiendo inglés como segundo idioma. Cuando sus hijos crecieron y se trasladaron a otro distrito para cursar la preparatoria, Cruz conservó muchas de las amistades que hizo con padres y maestros. Años más tarde, ella y su marido tuvieron un tercer hijo, una niña, supo que quería volver a Oak Grove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su hija pequeña tiene ahora 9 años y cursa tercero de primaria en Oak Grove. Esta vez, Cruz dice que los alumnos hispanoparlantes están aún más atendidos en las aulas, gracias a Ana Castillo-Williams, la enlace bilingüe de tiempo parcial del distrito. Castillo-Williams se encarga de que toda la comunicación con los padres esté disponible tanto en inglés como en español, traduce en las reuniones entre padres y maestros y además ayuda a organizar los eventos multiculturales del distrito, como la celebración del Día de los Niños.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Ella se ganó la confianza de las familias, porque hay muchas familias que no se atreven a hacer presencia en las escuelas porque no tienen el idioma”, dijo Cruz. “Trabaja con ellas para que tengan el valor de hacer presencia, que su voz sea escuchada en las escuelas”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, el 13 de marzo, la junta directiva de Oak Grove \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/13QfcRaf_zQFgwVCBQvkgyvNvZlgrCzh7/view\">votó a favor de recortar las horas de 10 puestos\u003c/a>, eliminando la del enlace bilingüe, ya que el distrito busca cerrar las brechas presupuestarias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Desde el anuncio del distrito, Cruz y docenas de otros padres \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/oak-grove-union-spanish-speaking-parents-protest-district-firing-its-only-t/\">han liderado protestas semanales exigiendo que el distrito revierta su decisión\u003c/a>. Han conseguido el apoyo de la comunidad en general, incluido el sindicato de maestros y grupos activistas como North Bay Organizing Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En todos los distritos escolares del Área de la Bahía, los padres inmigrantes han demostrado su capacidad de movilización, con o sin el inglés.

La publicación The Press Democrat informó por primera vez en febrero de que \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/state-budget-better-than-expected-but-sonoma-county-school-districts-still/\">Oak Grove es uno de los tres distritos en el condado que enfrentan una seria presión financiera\u003c/a> ya que sus reservas están por debajo de los requisitos estatales. Con todos los recortes de personal anunciados en marzo, el distrito espera ahorrar 237 mil 242 dólares, pero los funcionarios siguen buscando más opciones de frenar el gasto.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“El distrito entiende y se compromete a proporcionar vías de comunicación para nuestra comunidad, incluidos nuestros padres y tutores que no dominan el inglés”, dijo Stringfellow. Añadió que el distrito ofrece pago adicional a otros miembros del personal que son bilingües para que colaboren con los servicios de traducción.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sin embargo, para algunos maestro, conseguir que otros empleados del distrito asuman el papel de enlace bilingüe no es una solución.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Tenemos a 13 personas que reciben un pago adicional por asumir estas labores”, dijo la profesora de sexto grado Cari Cardle, quien también es una de las líderes del sindicato de maestros de primaria de Oak Grove Union. “Pero, ¿sabes qué? Esas 13 personas tienen un trabajo. Y no es ser enlace bilingüe. No es ser intérprete”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cardle lleva 25 años enseñando en Oak Grove. Sea cual sea el tema, ella dice que lo puede enseñar, pero añade que con el tiempo, la responsabilidad de los maestros en las aulas ha aumentado considerablemente. “La salud mental, la salud física, el aspecto de las redes sociales, todas esas cosas han cambiado este trabajo de manera dramática”, y añade, “esa es la parte que sí es difícil”.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Pero todo esto pasa para establecer relaciones con los alumnos y sus familias, dijo. Esto es especialmente importante para los estudiantes que estan aprendiendo inglés como segundo idioma, que tienen que aprender el material a doble velocidad para ponerse al nivel de sus compañeros.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Lo único que importa en un sistema escolar para el éxito de los estudiantes son los vínculos”, dijo Cardle. “Si no tienes una conexión, no vas a sacar lo mejor del niño”.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Originally from Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, they had left everything behind to start all over again in the North Bay — where she enrolled her two kids in the Oak Grove Union School District, which serves families in west Santa Rosa and nearby communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite not speaking English and working as a housecleaner, Cruz wanted to be a part of her children’s education and began volunteering at school events and field trips. “It was like finding a family,” she said, “even though we didn’t speak the language, folks opened doors for us at every school event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out of the roughly 800 students enrolled in Oak Grove’s two school sites, about a third are Latino, and many of them are also learning English as a second language. As her children grew up and moved on to a different district for high school, Cruz kept many of the friendships she made with parents and teachers. When she and her husband had a third child, a girl, she knew she wanted to go back to Oak Grove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her youngest is now 9 years old, a third-grader in Oak Grove Elementary. This time around, Cruz said that Spanish-speaking students are even more integrated into the classrooms, thanks to Ana Castillo-Williams, the district’s part-time bilingual liaison. Castillo-Williams makes sure all communication to parents is available in both English and Spanish, translates in parent-teacher meetings and helps organize the district’s multicultural events like the Día de los Niños celebration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“She’s earned the trust of families as many parents don’t feel comfortable coming to the schools because they don’t know the language,” Cruz said. “But she works with them so they have the courage to show up, and she also makes sure that their voices are heard even when they don’t speak English.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, on March 13, the Oak Grove Board of Trustees \u003ca href=\"https://drive.google.com/file/d/13QfcRaf_zQFgwVCBQvkgyvNvZlgrCzh7/view\">voted to cut the hours of 10 positions\u003c/a> — eliminating the bilingual liaison — as the district seeks to close budget gaps.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since the district’s announcement, Cruz and dozens of other parents \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/oak-grove-union-spanish-speaking-parents-protest-district-firing-its-only-t/\">have been leading weekly protests demanding the district revert its decision\u003c/a>. They’ve garnered the support of the community at large, including the teachers’ union and groups like the North Bay Organizing Project.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All over Bay Area school districts, immigrant parents have shown their organizing power — with or without English. In Oakland, Mam-speaking parents \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11855640/how-native-speakers-are-helping-1300-mam-students-in-oakland-through-remote-learning\">mobilized to help out Indigenous families struggling with remote learning during the pandemic\u003c/a>.

The \u003cem>Press Democrat\u003c/em> first reported in February \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/state-budget-better-than-expected-but-sonoma-county-school-districts-still/\">that Oak Grove is one of three districts in the county facing the most financial stress\u003c/a>, with cash reserves running below state requirements. With all the staff cuts announced in March, the district hopes to save $237,242, but officials are still looking for more ways to rein in spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The district understands and is committed to providing avenues of communication for our community, including our parents and guardians who are not fluent in English,” Stringfellow said. She added that the district provides stipends to other bilingual staff who pitch in with translation services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, for some teachers, getting other district employees to fill the shoes of the bilingual liaison isn’t a solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have 13 people getting a stipend for bilingualism,” said sixth-grade teacher Cari Cardle, who is also the co-president of the Oak Grove Union Elementary Educators Association. “But you know what?

Originally from Puerto Vallarta in Mexico, they had left everything behind to start all over again in the North Bay — where she enrolled her two kids in the Oak Grove Union School District, which serves families in west Santa Rosa and nearby communities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite not speaking English and working as a housecleaner, Cruz wanted to be a part of her children’s education and began volunteering at school events and field trips. “It was like finding a family,” she said, “even though we didn’t speak the language, folks opened doors for us at every school event.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Out of the roughly 800 students enrolled in Oak Grove’s two school sites, about a third are Latino, and many of them are also learning English as a second language. As her children grew up and moved on to a different district for high school, Cruz kept many of the friendships she made with parents and teachers. When she and her husband had a third child, a girl, she knew she wanted to go back to Oak Grove.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Her youngest is now 9 years old, a third-grader in Oak Grove Elementary. This time around, Cruz said that Spanish-speaking students are even more integrated into the classrooms, thanks to Ana Castillo-Williams, the district’s part-time bilingual liaison. Castillo-Williams makes sure all communication to parents is available in both English and Spanish, translates in parent-teacher meetings and helps organize the district’s multicultural events like the Día de los Niños celebration.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

With all the staff cuts announced in March, the district hopes to save $237,242, but officials are still looking for more ways to rein in spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The district understands and is committed to providing avenues of communication for our community, including our parents and guardians who are not fluent in English,” Stringfellow said. She added that the district provides stipends to other bilingual staff who pitch in with translation services.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>However, for some teachers, getting other district employees to fill the shoes of the bilingual liaison isn’t a solution.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We have 13 people getting a stipend for bilingualism,” said sixth-grade teacher Cari Cardle, who is also the co-president of the Oak Grove Union Elementary Educators Association. “But you know what? Those 13 people have a job. And it’s not to be the bilingual liaison. It’s not to be an interpreter.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Cardle has taught at Oak Grove for 25 years.

I’ve seen so many fights.’[/pullquote]At a press conference at Montgomery High School on Wednesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m80tx909rRQ\">there were heated exchanges between students and the SRPD\u003c/a>, with several students raising questions about their safety and asking why school officials did not do more to stop the students’ behavior despite knowing there were problems among the three teens. One student asked, “Why has it taken a loss of life for [the police] to start caring about this school?,” to which SRPD Police Chief John Cregan replied that removing SRPD officers from the campus was “a decision by the Santa Rosa School Board.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students and parents at Montgomery High say that safety has been an issue for some time on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The school knew that the three kids were having problems, and they didn’t even bother to help out before Jayden’s murder,” said Lyla Snyder, a 16-year-old sophomore at the high school, in an interview with KQED. “The fact that those two boys were able to either leave their class or come onto campus and enter the art classroom shows the lack of control we have on the campus and the lack of safety that we prioritize on the campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder added that she has “felt unsafe at school before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen weapons that people have at school that the school doesn’t even notice they have. I’ve seen so many fights,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials had earlier said none of the campuses in the Santa Rosa City Schools District have metal detectors or police officers inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder told KQED that she and her fellow students planned to hold a walkout at 11:15 a.m. Monday, saying they will “all walk out of class in protest, and go into the quad and speak about what is important and then return to class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the same block as Montgomery High is the Church of the Roses, which serves free breakfast to high school students and staff every morning. Jayden Pienta used to be one of those students. Rev. Cindy Alloway, aka Pastor Cindy, who is head of staff at the church, didn’t know Jayden personally, but had conversations with students daily. She said some of the students felt like what happened Wednesday could’ve been prevented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They said the teachers did try to intervene a few times. But these particular students were saying that they thought they needed the resource police officers back. They felt like that would have prevented some of the bullying that was going on that caused this incident. They think it would have maybe nipped it in the bud before it became such a terrible, tragic incident,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alana Minkler of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Press Democrat\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> says she thinks the student body is torn on what exactly they want, and that although everyone agrees on the need for increased security measures, not everyone agrees on what that might entail. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a lot of fights on campus in recent years,” said Minkler. “Some of them [remember] student resource officers on campus. In June 2020, the school board voted to pause that program and haven’t put it in place since. But some of those seniors remember what it was like to have those officers on campus, and they want them back. Other students feel like they don’t want their campus to feel like jail or for students of color to feel uncomfortable. So they’re torn on that. Some students want metal detectors. Other students just want more support for their faculty members, and they want more trained behavioral specialists to help intervene when students get into fights.”[aside postID=news_11764070 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/07/pexels-ketut-subiyanto-4473797-1020x680.jpg']Alloway, of Church of the Roses, told KQED that it’s important to listen to the students more to understand what’s happening so as to be able to intervene before things escalate.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The lesson for us as adults is to always be listening to the students, to the teenagers, especially if they are calling out for help or if they are being bullied, to look for signs of that and to try to intervene before it would become a self-defense kind of fight like this seems to have been, according to the students that were talking to me. Every school, I think, right now needs more school counselors who are really there to listen and not just be guidance counselors for going to college someday. I’m a psychiatric nurse therapist before I became a pastor. And teenagers, they go through so much, they really need counselors right there in the school,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder’s mother, Kari Snyder, also believes the most important thing right now is to provide counseling for the students and to develop what she called “emotional intelligence skills” through face-to-face and physical interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would be good for them to state how they’re going to feel safe, and what the school can do to make you feel even more safe. They need to be told, ‘Safety is our highest priority. You’re here with us, you’re family, and we want you to feel safe. And we’ll do everything that it takes to make sure that this gets better. Because you are our family. When you’re here, you are our children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more than 1,600 students, Montgomery High School is the second-largest school in Santa Rosa and in need of major repairs, \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/its-inhumane-raw-sewage-rotting-portables-not-enough-bathrooms-among/\">according to a report published by \u003cem>The Press Democrat\u003c/em>\u003c/a> last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school, built in 1958, has exposed wires hanging from the rafters in hallways; wooden skirting around the foundation of old portable classrooms is rotting; and students often must wait to get home to go to the bathroom because the ones at the school are foul smelling and there aren’t enough available, according to students who spoke to the newspaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Cavin, associate superintendent of business services for the Santa Rosa City Schools District, told the newspaper the district hasn’t had the funds for some projects over the years and that constant vandalism diverts money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office did not immediately have a comment Thursday about the potential filing of charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story includes reporting by The Associated Press, The Press Democrat and KQED’s Riley Palmer, Elize Manoukian and Attila Pelit.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

One student asked, “Why has it taken a loss of life for [the police] to start caring about this school?,” to which SRPD Police Chief John Cregan replied that removing SRPD officers from the campus was “a decision by the Santa Rosa School Board.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Students and parents at Montgomery High say that safety has been an issue for some time on campus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The school knew that the three kids were having problems, and they didn’t even bother to help out before Jayden’s murder,” said Lyla Snyder, a 16-year-old sophomore at the high school, in an interview with KQED. “The fact that those two boys were able to either leave their class or come onto campus and enter the art classroom shows the lack of control we have on the campus and the lack of safety that we prioritize on the campus.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder added that she has “felt unsafe at school before.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen weapons that people have at school that the school doesn’t even notice they have. I’ve seen so many fights,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Officials had earlier said none of the campuses in the Santa Rosa City Schools District have metal detectors or police officers inside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder told KQED that she and her fellow students planned to hold a walkout at 11:15 a.m. Monday, saying they will “all walk out of class in protest, and go into the quad and speak about what is important and then return to class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On the same block as Montgomery High is the Church of the Roses, which serves free breakfast to high school students and staff every morning. Jayden Pienta used to be one of those students. Rev. Cindy Alloway, aka Pastor Cindy, who is head of staff at the church, didn’t know Jayden personally, but had conversations with students daily. She said some of the students felt like what happened Wednesday could’ve been prevented.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They said the teachers did try to intervene a few times. But these particular students were saying that they thought they needed the resource police officers back. They felt like that would have prevented some of the bullying that was going on that caused this incident. They think it would have maybe nipped it in the bud before it became such a terrible, tragic incident,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Alana Minkler of \u003c/span>\u003ci>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Press Democrat\u003c/span>\u003c/i>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\"> says she thinks the student body is torn on what exactly they want, and that although everyone agrees on the need for increased security measures, not everyone agrees on what that might entail. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There’s been a lot of fights on campus in recent years,” said Minkler. “Some of them [remember] student resource officers on campus. In June 2020, the school board voted to pause that program and haven’t put it in place since. But some of those seniors remember what it was like to have those officers on campus, and they want them back. Other students feel like they don’t want their campus to feel like jail or for students of color to feel uncomfortable. So they’re torn on that. Some students want metal detectors. Other students just want more support for their faculty members, and they want more trained behavioral specialists to help intervene when students get into fights.”\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Every school, I think, right now needs more school counselors who are really there to listen and not just be guidance counselors for going to college someday. I’m a psychiatric nurse therapist before I became a pastor. And teenagers, they go through so much, they really need counselors right there in the school,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Snyder’s mother, Kari Snyder, also believes the most important thing right now is to provide counseling for the students and to develop what she called “emotional intelligence skills” through face-to-face and physical interaction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it would be good for them to state how they’re going to feel safe, and what the school can do to make you feel even more safe. They need to be told, ‘Safety is our highest priority. You’re here with us, you’re family, and we want you to feel safe. And we’ll do everything that it takes to make sure that this gets better. Because you are our family. When you’re here, you are our children,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With more than 1,600 students, Montgomery High School is the second-largest school in Santa Rosa and in need of major repairs, \u003ca href=\"https://www.pressdemocrat.com/article/news/its-inhumane-raw-sewage-rotting-portables-not-enough-bathrooms-among/\">according to a report published by \u003cem>The Press Democrat\u003c/em>\u003c/a> last week.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The school, built in 1958, has exposed wires hanging from the rafters in hallways; wooden skirting around the foundation of old portable classrooms is rotting; and students often must wait to get home to go to the bathroom because the ones at the school are foul smelling and there aren’t enough available, according to students who spoke to the newspaper.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lisa Cavin, associate superintendent of business services for the Santa Rosa City Schools District, told the newspaper the district hasn’t had the funds for some projects over the years and that constant vandalism diverts money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Sonoma County District Attorney’s Office did not immediately have a comment Thursday about the potential filing of charges.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
