"content": "\u003cp>[soundcloud url=\"https://api.soundcloud.com/tracks/174102855\" params=\"color=ff5500&inverse=false&auto_play=false&show_user=true\" width=\"100%\" height=\"20\" iframe=\"true\" /]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators in California know well the debate over tenure, the job security given to teachers after about two years in the classroom. But for those outside education, it may be hard to understand why teacher tenure is such a big deal, especially during an election season in which both Democrats and Republicans are seizing on the issue to win votes. Let’s rewind the clock for a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, a Superior Court judge in Los Angeles issued a \u003ca href=\"http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/local/court-decision-in-vergara-v-california/1031/\">landmark ruling\u003c/a> that says three state laws actually allow bad teachers to keep their jobs, depriving students of a quality education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.neelkashkari.com/%20\">Neel Kashkari,\u003c/a> the man gunning to be the state's next governor, was quick to jump all over that ruling during his only debate with incumbent \u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/home.php\">Jerry Brown\u003c/a>, who is \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1283281-teacher-vergara-canoticeofappeal082914.html%20\">appealing the ruling\u003c/a>. “You sided with the union bosses. You should be ashamed of yourself, Governor. I’m going to fight for the kids. I’m going to fight for the kids, I want you to know that,” attacked Kashkari. Brown retorted, “That makes no sense at all. That is so false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the judge's decision stands, California would be the first state in the country where teachers could get fired almost regardless of their seniority. Kashkari has focused his entire campaign in the last few weeks on the judge's decision, including a controversial \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/17/neel-kashkari-campaign-tv-ad\">TV ad of a child drowning in a pool \u003c/a>– who Kashkari says represents the kids Brown refuses to rescue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>All of this underscores just how explosive the issue of tenure has become this election season, and nowhere more so than in the race for state superintendent of public instruction. Incumbent \u003ca href=\"http://www.tomtorlakson.com/jointom?splash=1\">Tom Torlakson \u003c/a>is joining Brown in appealing the ruling. “Stop blaming teachers and attacking them about taking away their job protections, that’s no way to improve our schools in California,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"Stop blaming teachers and attacking them about taking away their job protections, that’s no way to improve our schools in California.\"\u003ccite>Tom Torlakson, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Torlakson is in a tight race against \u003ca href=\"http://www.marshalltuck.com/\">Marshall Tuck\u003c/a>, a charter school executive who wants to rein in teacher job protections.\u003cbr>\nIt's created a kind of \"battle royale,\" pitting those who call themselves education reformers -- and support Tuck -- against the state's powerful teachers unions, which back the incumbent Torlakson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Torlakson says stripping veteran teachers of these rights doesn't get at the state's real education problem. “We know the way to improve our schools is to invest. To get the dollars in there so we can have smaller class sizes, bring back art music and drama, have stronger academics,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cta.org\">Teachers unions\u003c/a> hope that message will get across to voters and have poured more than $2 million into Torlakson's bid for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those same unions are staking a claim in several legislative races where teacher seniority is also a hot-button issue. Political ads play up Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://timsbranti.com/%20\">Tim Sbranti's\u003c/a> teaching experience in the 16th Assembly District, made up of well-to-do suburbs east of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sbranti wasn't just an educator. He also led the political action committee for the California Teachers Association, arguably the state's most powerful interest group. He says he was proud to serve: “I knew at the time then and now that I had to do and stand up for what is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught up with Sbranti at a recent debate against his opponent, Republican \u003ca href=\"http://bakerforassembly.com/\">Catharine Baker\u003c/a>, whose campaign speeches and mailers play up Sbranti's union connections -- and her opposition to teacher tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti says what's missing from this whole debate is what California should be doing to help educators become more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My biggest focus is what are we doing to uplift the other 95 percent of teachers who are dedicated to their craft, who want to do right by students. What are we doing to make above-average teachers, great? Or -- great teachers off the charts?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Baker, his challenger, doesn't buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker is an attorney and a mother of two school-age children, and says she's seen firsthand how bad teachers can hold kids back. She's been racking up newspaper endorsements, in part because of her stand on tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many parents like her support fewer teacher job protections. “And there’s nothing they can do about it. And principals are frustrated. And the really great teachers that we have all throughout our schools, they’re frustrated, too, because they know they’re treated exactly the same as someone who may be less effective in that career,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-poll-vergara-20140626-story.html\">statewide poll over the summer on teacher tenure\u003c/a> seems to reflect that dissatisfaction.

But for those outside education, it may be hard to understand why teacher tenure is such a big deal, especially during an election season in which both Democrats and Republicans are seizing on the issue to win votes. Let’s rewind the clock for a moment.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Earlier this year, a Superior Court judge in Los Angeles issued a \u003ca href=\"http://apps.washingtonpost.com/g/documents/local/court-decision-in-vergara-v-california/1031/\">landmark ruling\u003c/a> that says three state laws actually allow bad teachers to keep their jobs, depriving students of a quality education.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.neelkashkari.com/%20\">Neel Kashkari,\u003c/a> the man gunning to be the state's next governor, was quick to jump all over that ruling during his only debate with incumbent \u003ca href=\"http://gov.ca.gov/home.php\">Jerry Brown\u003c/a>, who is \u003ca href=\"https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/1283281-teacher-vergara-canoticeofappeal082914.html%20\">appealing the ruling\u003c/a>. “You sided with the union bosses. You should be ashamed of yourself, Governor. I’m going to fight for the kids. I’m going to fight for the kids, I want you to know that,” attacked Kashkari. Brown retorted, “That makes no sense at all. That is so false.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the judge's decision stands, California would be the first state in the country where teachers could get fired almost regardless of their seniority. Kashkari has focused his entire campaign in the last few weeks on the judge's decision, including a controversial \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2014/10/17/neel-kashkari-campaign-tv-ad\">TV ad of a child drowning in a pool \u003c/a>– who Kashkari says represents the kids Brown refuses to rescue.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Incumbent \u003ca href=\"http://www.tomtorlakson.com/jointom?splash=1\">Tom Torlakson \u003c/a>is joining Brown in appealing the ruling. “Stop blaming teachers and attacking them about taking away their job protections, that’s no way to improve our schools in California,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"pullquote alignleft\">\"Stop blaming teachers and attacking them about taking away their job protections, that’s no way to improve our schools in California.\"\u003ccite>Tom Torlakson, California State Superintendent of Public Instruction\u003c/cite>\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Torlakson is in a tight race against \u003ca href=\"http://www.marshalltuck.com/\">Marshall Tuck\u003c/a>, a charter school executive who wants to rein in teacher job protections.\u003cbr>\nIt's created a kind of \"battle royale,\" pitting those who call themselves education reformers -- and support Tuck -- against the state's powerful teachers unions, which back the incumbent Torlakson.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Torlakson says stripping veteran teachers of these rights doesn't get at the state's real education problem. “We know the way to improve our schools is to invest. To get the dollars in there so we can have smaller class sizes, bring back art music and drama, have stronger academics,” he says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"http://www.cta.org\">Teachers unions\u003c/a> hope that message will get across to voters and have poured more than $2 million into Torlakson's bid for re-election.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those same unions are staking a claim in several legislative races where teacher seniority is also a hot-button issue. Political ads play up Democrat \u003ca href=\"http://timsbranti.com/%20\">Tim Sbranti's\u003c/a> teaching experience in the 16th Assembly District, made up of well-to-do suburbs east of San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Sbranti wasn't just an educator. He also led the political action committee for the California Teachers Association, arguably the state's most powerful interest group. He says he was proud to serve: “I knew at the time then and now that I had to do and stand up for what is right.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I caught up with Sbranti at a recent debate against his opponent, Republican \u003ca href=\"http://bakerforassembly.com/\">Catharine Baker\u003c/a>, whose campaign speeches and mailers play up Sbranti's union connections -- and her opposition to teacher tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti says what's missing from this whole debate is what California should be doing to help educators become more effective.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“My biggest focus is what are we doing to uplift the other 95 percent of teachers who are dedicated to their craft, who want to do right by students. What are we doing to make above-average teachers, great? Or -- great teachers off the charts?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Baker, his challenger, doesn't buy it.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker is an attorney and a mother of two school-age children, and says she's seen firsthand how bad teachers can hold kids back. She's been racking up newspaper endorsements, in part because of her stand on tenure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She says many parents like her support fewer teacher job protections. “And there’s nothing they can do about it. And principals are frustrated. And the really great teachers that we have all throughout our schools, they’re frustrated, too, because they know they’re treated exactly the same as someone who may be less effective in that career,” she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A \u003ca href=\"http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-poll-vergara-20140626-story.html\">statewide poll over the summer on teacher tenure\u003c/a> seems to reflect that dissatisfaction. Researchers at Stanford and USC found more than 60 percent of California voters support fewer teacher job protections.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, the real poll is the one that comes out on Election Day.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

But the two have a lot in common.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>They’ve both served as council members and mayors of their respective cities, and both say they’ll make good use in Sacramento of their experience balancing budgets and keeping their cities debt free and friendly to business.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The first night I became mayor, we made economic development our priority,” said Sbranti in an recent interview. “When I go to bed at night that’s what I think about … are we doing a good job to attract and retain jobs in our city?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steve Glazer starts just about every interview with this phrase:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’m a fiscally conservative Democrat that’s socially progressive.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[contextly_sidebar id=\"9d2710b246450ac6a977a19fd5938463\"]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But these two lifelong Democrats come from opposite wings of their party, and they’re waging a political war that has drawn more than $3 million in spending, and left a third Democrat trailing far behind.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glazer started the battle last October during the second BART strike, circulating a petition to convince state lawmakers to ban walkouts by BART workers. He said his position demonstrated the kind of leadership he’d bring to Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When all the politicians refused to acknowledge what we all saw,” he said in a recent interview, “which was a disaster for our economy, for our people … I was willing to stand up against the BART union and call it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glazer is a pro at finding hot-button issues. He ran Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign, and managed various campaigns on behalf of business groups. His current campaign seems calculated to take advantage of voters’ growing unease about benefits for public employee unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glazer noted that Orinda has a defined contribution program for city unions, with no pension or retirement obligations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get pressure every year from our employee union to join the CalPERS system,” Glazer said, “And that’s a good example of being willing to stand up to powerful forces that want you to join a dysfunctional pension program, and you’ve got to hold your ground and say what can the budget support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Glazer may have underestimated how hard unions would come after him for his stand on BART and for his record working for business groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It's Business Versus Union Money\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Service Employees International Union, representing most BART workers, the California Teachers Association and other unions, has poured more than $1.6 million into ads, mailers and phone banks opposing Glazer, including a series of mailers claiming Glazer has worked for tobacco companies, with one showing Glazer’s head sitting on a pile of stubbed-out cigarette butts. “My favorite,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor’s preferred candidate is Tim Sbranti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides his work as mayor of Dublin, Sbranti teaches at Dublin High School. He also used to head the California Teachers Association’s political involvement committee. No surprise, then, that Sbranti said he supports the right of BART union members to strike, arguing that it’s a bigger priority to find funds to help extend BART to Livermore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti said his history at the CTA doesn’t mean, though, that he’s too cozy with unions to fairly represent the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s part of the tired thinking in Sacramento, that really places you in categories that you can’t work with business and labor.” He said. “That you have to choose a side. And what I’ve been able to successfully demonstrate in my career is that you can work with all sides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti has also won endorsements from the state Democratic Party and environmental groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, business interests are spending big to defeat Sbranti and elect Glazer. The California Chamber of Commerce, real estate agents and charter school advocates are backing him with more than $1.8 million in independent spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Glazer’s stance on BART strikes is still winning him supporters. He was campaigning last Sunday at the Walnut Creek Farmers Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen your signs,” a woman said as Glazer introduced himself. “You’re the person with the sign that says 'No More BART Strikes.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s me,” Glazer said..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the woman’s male partner said, “I like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if he’s too close to business groups, Glazer said, “I’m proud of that business support, because I think it shows I’m a Democrat that can bridge the difference between various interests to make good public policy for our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s one other Democrat in the race. Danville Mayor Newell Arnerich, an architect, said he’s the only truly independent candidate, but he has raised little money for his campaign and has generated meager support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That three-way Democratic split, though, has opened the door for a Republican to be among the top two finishers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137476\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/musiker.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-137476\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/musiker-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Catharine Baker at her campaign office in San Ramon.

They’re going into middle school next year. They are twins, so if there’s one thing you can say about me, I’m very efficient, I had a boy and a girl all in one go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker said education reform would be her top priority.

He said his position demonstrated the kind of leadership he’d bring to Sacramento.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When all the politicians refused to acknowledge what we all saw,” he said in a recent interview, “which was a disaster for our economy, for our people … I was willing to stand up against the BART union and call it out.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glazer is a pro at finding hot-button issues. He ran Gov. Jerry Brown’s 2010 gubernatorial campaign, and managed various campaigns on behalf of business groups. His current campaign seems calculated to take advantage of voters’ growing unease about benefits for public employee unions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Glazer noted that Orinda has a defined contribution program for city unions, with no pension or retirement obligations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We get pressure every year from our employee union to join the CalPERS system,” Glazer said, “And that’s a good example of being willing to stand up to powerful forces that want you to join a dysfunctional pension program, and you’ve got to hold your ground and say what can the budget support.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But Glazer may have underestimated how hard unions would come after him for his stand on BART and for his record working for business groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>It's Business Versus Union Money\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Service Employees International Union, representing most BART workers, the California Teachers Association and other unions, has poured more than $1.6 million into ads, mailers and phone banks opposing Glazer, including a series of mailers claiming Glazer has worked for tobacco companies, with one showing Glazer’s head sitting on a pile of stubbed-out cigarette butts. “My favorite,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Labor’s preferred candidate is Tim Sbranti.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides his work as mayor of Dublin, Sbranti teaches at Dublin High School. He also used to head the California Teachers Association’s political involvement committee. No surprise, then, that Sbranti said he supports the right of BART union members to strike, arguing that it’s a bigger priority to find funds to help extend BART to Livermore.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti said his history at the CTA doesn’t mean, though, that he’s too cozy with unions to fairly represent the district.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think it’s part of the tired thinking in Sacramento, that really places you in categories that you can’t work with business and labor.” He said. “That you have to choose a side. And what I’ve been able to successfully demonstrate in my career is that you can work with all sides.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sbranti has also won endorsements from the state Democratic Party and environmental groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Still, business interests are spending big to defeat Sbranti and elect Glazer. The California Chamber of Commerce, real estate agents and charter school advocates are backing him with more than $1.8 million in independent spending.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, Glazer’s stance on BART strikes is still winning him supporters. He was campaigning last Sunday at the Walnut Creek Farmers Market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I’ve seen your signs,” a woman said as Glazer introduced himself. “You’re the person with the sign that says 'No More BART Strikes.' \"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“That’s me,” Glazer said..\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And the woman’s male partner said, “I like that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Asked if he’s too close to business groups, Glazer said, “I’m proud of that business support, because I think it shows I’m a Democrat that can bridge the difference between various interests to make good public policy for our community.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s one other Democrat in the race. Danville Mayor Newell Arnerich, an architect, said he’s the only truly independent candidate, but he has raised little money for his campaign and has generated meager support.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That three-way Democratic split, though, has opened the door for a Republican to be among the top two finishers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_137476\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\" style=\"max-width: 300px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/musiker.jpg\">\u003cimg class=\"size-thumbnail wp-image-137476\" src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2014/05/musiker-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"Catharine Baker at her campaign office in San Ramon.

They’re going into middle school next year. They are twins, so if there’s one thing you can say about me, I’m very efficient, I had a boy and a girl all in one go.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Baker said education reform would be her top priority.
