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

Es un honor estar con ustedes desde la escuela secundaria CK McClatchy High School en la ciudad de Sacramento, la capital del estado de California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Me encuentro aquí con futuros líderes de nuestro país — estudiantes de la McClatchy — donde yo también estudié, pero hace como cuatro décadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yo soy hijo de inmigrantes trabajadores y el primero en mi familia que pudo caminar por las puertas de la universidad — y por las puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mis padres empezaron su vida aquí por la misma razón que viene mucha gente a este país: para trabajar duro y darles a sus hijos una vida mejor. Al salir de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, trajeron con ellos su fé y no mucho más. Confiaban en la promesa de este país de que todos aquellos que se esfuerzan y cumplen con las reglas, se han ganado la oportunidad de salir adelante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sé que soy producto de los que lucharon por abrir estas puertas de oportunidad. El optimismo que caracteriza las olas de inmigrantes que han llegado aquí corre en mi sangre. Y si el estado de nuestra nación se puede caracterizar como fuerte, es porque gente como mis padres y los suyos ciudadanos o migrantes — construyeron este país.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante 24 años de servicio como congresista en Washington, yo conocí mucho de nuestro gran país y trabajé con tres presidentes diferentes. Y, ahora, como fiscal general, defendiendo y abogando por los derechos de millones de americanos aquí en California, y por extensión, en todo los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permítanme una observación obvia: No hay otro país como los Estados Unidos. El mundo nos necesita fuerte y listo. Y nos busca como líder y socio. Si se cae América, todo el mundo se lastima. El estado de nuestro país decide destinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser, entonces, que el estado de nuestra joven, rica, y fuerte nación ahora es desorden, tensión, hostilidad?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser que lo que defina el estado de nuestro país en el año 2019 es el cierre del gobierno a manos del presidente Trump? Y no sólo una vez, pero quizás una segunda vez en las próximas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Quién pudiera creer que el estado de nuestra Unión sea impulsada por una obsesión extravagante del presidente Trump de construir un muro en la frontera que ni los expertos quieren? El presidente ya ni repite su promesa de que México pagaría los miles de millones que cuesta este muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y sí todo eso no fuera suficiente para preocuparnos, ¿cómo se explica que nuestra nación vive bajo una intensa investigación sobre la interferencia rusa en nuestras elecciones presidenciales del 2016 y sobre el papel que jugó el Presidente Trump? Criminalidad, conspiración, obstrucción de justicia — todas estas sombras oscuras siguen a Donald Trump y a su administración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No es sorpresa que la mayoría del pueblo aquí en los Estados Unidos piense que el país camina en la dirección equivocada. Y que cuatro de cada diez Americanos creen que este es el peor gobierno que han visto en su vida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta noche era para convencernos que de ahora en adelante paraba el engaño y la disfunción y que empezaba la cooperación. Lo que escuchamos fue el cansado refrán de \"construir muros.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si el presidente Trump quisiera avanzar en serio una reforma migratoria integral incluyendo la seguridad fronteriza, los Demócratas estamos y hemos estado listos. Pero cerrar nuestro gobierno — y dejar sin empleo o pago a cientos de miles de trabajadores no es la manera de hacerlo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y la idea de declarar un estado de emergencia en la frontera cuando uno no existe, para justificar robar fondos que le pertenecen a los desamparados de los incendios, inundaciones y huracanes, para pagar por el muro no solo es inmoral, es ilegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estamos listos para rechazar esta propuesta insensata, en la corte, en el momento que toque la tierra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El muro en la frontera no es la única barrera que estamos viendo de esta administración que trata de construir: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Están poniendo un muro entre usted y su médico, dictando cuales servicios puede recibir. Por eso, mis colegas y yo defendemos en la corte a personas como Elizabeth del estado de la Florida, teniendo cobertura de salud, eso le dejo a ella terminar sus estudios universitarios y aseguró que su marido tuviera cobertura para poder vencer el cáncer. Y ahora Elizabeth es abogada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>También la administración de Presidente Trump, ellos construyen un muro entre usted y las urnas de votación. Pero aquí tengo noticias: Fracasaron. En las elecciones de noviembre, Latinos, especialmente los jóvenes, salieron a votar en números históricos. Gracias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Qué más? Ellos ponen un muro entre nuestros veteranos y sus servicios médicos. Ellos estan listos de malgastar miliones de dolares para un muro fronterizo en vez de ayudarles a nuestros veteranos que se enfrentan demasiadas demoras en los hospitales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y ellos también construyen también un muro entre padres y hijos, al meter a niños en jaulas que los separan de sus padres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amigos, créanmelo, podemos tumbar muros y abrir puertas con nuestros manos. Es más, ya lo hicimos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No me lo creen? Con sus votos el noviembre pasado, ustedes cambiaron la composición del congreso. Los votos de los congresistas con quienes contaba el presidente, ya no los tiene. Ahora él tiene que aprender lo que es gobernar en una democracia. Ya no puede ignorar a los Demócratas. Y por eso no tiene su muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su voto en noviembre cambio los votos en el congreso. Y eso ha cambiado la política de nuestra nación. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahora que ven su poder, ¿están listos para abrir nuevas puertas?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No les parece que ya es ahora de que nosotros y nuestro gobierno construya escuelas, no muros? ¡Entonces, prepárense, esas manos pueden cambiar mucho, esas manos pueden cambiar con la próxima votación!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuestro sistema demócrata premia a la participación de todos. Y con 66,000 ciudadanos Latinos cumpliendo 18 años de edad, la edad de votación, cada mes, tenemos muchas manos que premiar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagínense si tuviéramos el poder de decidir la agenda política de esta nación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores escuelas . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Un cuidado médico para su familia que los políticos no le pueden quitar . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sueldos con beneficios y protecciones en el empleo . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores leyes para proteger nuestras familias y nuestra policía del violento uso de las armas de fuego . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protección permanente para los Soñadores, los Dreamers . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leyes que protegen el agua que tomamos y el aire que respiramos . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y una reforma migratoria integral para reparar el sistema roto . . . Check. Check. Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta no es la agenda que presentó el presidente. Pero estas son las soluciones que abren puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En las cortes o en el Congreso o en las urnas de la votación, tenemos que luchar por nuestra agenda. Por eso es que yo he luchado como fiscal general en la corte contra la administración del presidente. Y estamos ganando:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de DACA, luchamos y ganamos para los 700,000 jóvenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de salud Obamacare, somos los protagonistas. Más de 4 millones de Latinos dependen en Obamacare para su seguro médico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger los estudiantes universitarios contra préstamos fraudulentos, luchamos y ganamos por miles de ellos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hace dos semanas, mis padres celebraron 66 años de matrimonio. Empezaron su viaje juntos solo con su fe. Todavía recuerdan los días cuando no podían cruzar las puertas de restaurantes debido a los letreros que les decían: \"Los perros o mexicanos no permitidos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Con los años, han recibido los premios de su labor y dedicación a su familia. No hay duda de que el \"estado de la unión\" de María Teresa y Manuel Becerra es fuerte y sólido.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si les preguntamos a ellos, mis padres, cuales el estado de nuestra nación? Estoy seguro que pintarían un imagen más real que lo que nos presentó el presidente Trump esta noche. Ellos saben lo que significa trabajar duro y respetar las reglas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y bien que saben que para mantenernos fuertes como pueblo unido hay que trabajar juntos y mantener abiertas esas pesadas puertas para que todos nuestros hijos, como los estudiantes de CK McClatchy, puedan cruzar y conocer la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ya sea con marchas en las calles o marchas a las urnas de votación, con luchas en la corte o a través del Congreso, haremos lo que se necesita para asegurar una unión nacional fuerte y vibrante. Amigos, con fe y la fuerza de nuestra labor y respetando las diversas contribuciones del pueblo Americano, los Estados Unidos seguirá siendo el dueño del Sueño Americano.

Es un honor estar con ustedes desde la escuela secundaria CK McClatchy High School en la ciudad de Sacramento, la capital del estado de California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Me encuentro aquí con futuros líderes de nuestro país — estudiantes de la McClatchy — donde yo también estudié, pero hace como cuatro décadas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Yo soy hijo de inmigrantes trabajadores y el primero en mi familia que pudo caminar por las puertas de la universidad — y por las puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mis padres empezaron su vida aquí por la misma razón que viene mucha gente a este país: para trabajar duro y darles a sus hijos una vida mejor. Al salir de Guadalajara, Jalisco, México, trajeron con ellos su fé y no mucho más. Confiaban en la promesa de este país de que todos aquellos que se esfuerzan y cumplen con las reglas, se han ganado la oportunidad de salir adelante.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sé que soy producto de los que lucharon por abrir estas puertas de oportunidad. El optimismo que caracteriza las olas de inmigrantes que han llegado aquí corre en mi sangre. Y si el estado de nuestra nación se puede caracterizar como fuerte, es porque gente como mis padres y los suyos ciudadanos o migrantes — construyeron este país.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Durante 24 años de servicio como congresista en Washington, yo conocí mucho de nuestro gran país y trabajé con tres presidentes diferentes. Y, ahora, como fiscal general, defendiendo y abogando por los derechos de millones de americanos aquí en California, y por extensión, en todo los Estados Unidos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Permítanme una observación obvia: No hay otro país como los Estados Unidos. El mundo nos necesita fuerte y listo. Y nos busca como líder y socio. Si se cae América, todo el mundo se lastima. El estado de nuestro país decide destinos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser, entonces, que el estado de nuestra joven, rica, y fuerte nación ahora es desorden, tensión, hostilidad?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Cómo puede ser que lo que defina el estado de nuestro país en el año 2019 es el cierre del gobierno a manos del presidente Trump? Y no sólo una vez, pero quizás una segunda vez en las próximas semanas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Quién pudiera creer que el estado de nuestra Unión sea impulsada por una obsesión extravagante del presidente Trump de construir un muro en la frontera que ni los expertos quieren? El presidente ya ni repite su promesa de que México pagaría los miles de millones que cuesta este muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y sí todo eso no fuera suficiente para preocuparnos, ¿cómo se explica que nuestra nación vive bajo una intensa investigación sobre la interferencia rusa en nuestras elecciones presidenciales del 2016 y sobre el papel que jugó el Presidente Trump? Criminalidad, conspiración, obstrucción de justicia — todas estas sombras oscuras siguen a Donald Trump y a su administración.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>No es sorpresa que la mayoría del pueblo aquí en los Estados Unidos piense que el país camina en la dirección equivocada. Y que cuatro de cada diez Americanos creen que este es el peor gobierno que han visto en su vida.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta noche era para convencernos que de ahora en adelante paraba el engaño y la disfunción y que empezaba la cooperación. Lo que escuchamos fue el cansado refrán de \"construir muros.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Si el presidente Trump quisiera avanzar en serio una reforma migratoria integral incluyendo la seguridad fronteriza, los Demócratas estamos y hemos estado listos. Pero cerrar nuestro gobierno — y dejar sin empleo o pago a cientos de miles de trabajadores no es la manera de hacerlo.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y la idea de declarar un estado de emergencia en la frontera cuando uno no existe, para justificar robar fondos que le pertenecen a los desamparados de los incendios, inundaciones y huracanes, para pagar por el muro no solo es inmoral, es ilegal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Estamos listos para rechazar esta propuesta insensata, en la corte, en el momento que toque la tierra.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>El muro en la frontera no es la única barrera que estamos viendo de esta administración que trata de construir: \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Están poniendo un muro entre usted y su médico, dictando cuales servicios puede recibir. Por eso, mis colegas y yo defendemos en la corte a personas como Elizabeth del estado de la Florida, teniendo cobertura de salud, eso le dejo a ella terminar sus estudios universitarios y aseguró que su marido tuviera cobertura para poder vencer el cáncer. Y ahora Elizabeth es abogada.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>También la administración de Presidente Trump, ellos construyen un muro entre usted y las urnas de votación. Pero aquí tengo noticias: Fracasaron. En las elecciones de noviembre, Latinos, especialmente los jóvenes, salieron a votar en números históricos. Gracias.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿Qué más? Ellos ponen un muro entre nuestros veteranos y sus servicios médicos. Ellos estan listos de malgastar miliones de dolares para un muro fronterizo en vez de ayudarles a nuestros veteranos que se enfrentan demasiadas demoras en los hospitales.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y ellos también construyen también un muro entre padres y hijos, al meter a niños en jaulas que los separan de sus padres.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Amigos, créanmelo, podemos tumbar muros y abrir puertas con nuestros manos. Es más, ya lo hicimos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No me lo creen? Con sus votos el noviembre pasado, ustedes cambiaron la composición del congreso. Los votos de los congresistas con quienes contaba el presidente, ya no los tiene. Ahora él tiene que aprender lo que es gobernar en una democracia. Ya no puede ignorar a los Demócratas. Y por eso no tiene su muro.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Su voto en noviembre cambio los votos en el congreso. Y eso ha cambiado la política de nuestra nación. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ahora que ven su poder, ¿están listos para abrir nuevas puertas?\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>¿No les parece que ya es ahora de que nosotros y nuestro gobierno construya escuelas, no muros? ¡Entonces, prepárense, esas manos pueden cambiar mucho, esas manos pueden cambiar con la próxima votación!\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nuestro sistema demócrata premia a la participación de todos. Y con 66,000 ciudadanos Latinos cumpliendo 18 años de edad, la edad de votación, cada mes, tenemos muchas manos que premiar.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Imagínense si tuviéramos el poder de decidir la agenda política de esta nación.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores escuelas . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Un cuidado médico para su familia que los políticos no le pueden quitar . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sueldos con beneficios y protecciones en el empleo . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mejores leyes para proteger nuestras familias y nuestra policía del violento uso de las armas de fuego . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Protección permanente para los Soñadores, los Dreamers . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Leyes que protegen el agua que tomamos y el aire que respiramos . . . Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y una reforma migratoria integral para reparar el sistema roto . . . Check. Check. Check.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Esta no es la agenda que presentó el presidente. Pero estas son las soluciones que abren puertas de la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En las cortes o en el Congreso o en las urnas de la votación, tenemos que luchar por nuestra agenda. Por eso es que yo he luchado como fiscal general en la corte contra la administración del presidente. Y estamos ganando:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de DACA, luchamos y ganamos para los 700,000 jóvenes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger el programa de salud Obamacare, somos los protagonistas. Más de 4 millones de Latinos dependen en Obamacare para su seguro médico.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>En proteger los estudiantes universitarios contra préstamos fraudulentos, luchamos y ganamos por miles de ellos.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hace dos semanas, mis padres celebraron 66 años de matrimonio. Empezaron su viaje juntos solo con su fe. Todavía recuerdan los días cuando no podían cruzar las puertas de restaurantes debido a los letreros que les decían: \"Los perros o mexicanos no permitidos.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Con los años, han recibido los premios de su labor y dedicación a su familia. No hay duda de que el \"estado de la unión\" de María Teresa y Manuel Becerra es fuerte y sólido.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y si les preguntamos a ellos, mis padres, cuales el estado de nuestra nación? Estoy seguro que pintarían un imagen más real que lo que nos presentó el presidente Trump esta noche. Ellos saben lo que significa trabajar duro y respetar las reglas. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Y bien que saben que para mantenernos fuertes como pueblo unido hay que trabajar juntos y mantener abiertas esas pesadas puertas para que todos nuestros hijos, como los estudiantes de CK McClatchy, puedan cruzar y conocer la oportunidad.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Ya sea con marchas en las calles o marchas a las urnas de votación, con luchas en la corte o a través del Congreso, haremos lo que se necesita para asegurar una unión nacional fuerte y vibrante. Amigos, con fe y la fuerza de nuestra labor y respetando las diversas contribuciones del pueblo Americano, los Estados Unidos seguirá siendo el dueño del Sueño Americano.

The utility giant said the bankruptcy filing — the second in less than 20 years — would not disrupt services to its nearly 16 million customers in Northern and Central California. The move has angered wildfire victims whose lawsuits against PG&E will be consolidated and their payouts decided by the bankruptcy judge overseeing the company’s financial restructuring.

Pelosi has also been appointing Bay Area and California lawmakers in recent weeks to key assignments on committees dealing with homeland security and government oversight.

The utility giant said the bankruptcy filing — the second in less than 20 years — would not disrupt services to its nearly 16 million customers in Northern and Central California. The move has angered wildfire victims whose lawsuits against PG&E will be consolidated and their payouts decided by the bankruptcy judge overseeing the company’s financial restructuring. State lawmakers are now seeking ways to have more control over what happens next. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Marisa Lagos, KQED Politics and Government reporter\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">California state Sen.

Seated behind him will be House Majority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who united House Democrats in denying the president billions in funds to build a border wall in exchange for ending the 35-day government shutdown. Pelosi has also been appointing Bay Area and California lawmakers in recent weeks to key assignments on committees dealing with homeland security and government oversight. Back in California, a legal fight is brewing between the state and the city of Huntington Beach, as state officials pursue a new strategy to address the housing crisis. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>Guests:\u003c/b>\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scott Shafer, KQED Senior Editor of California Politics and Government\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Lanhee Chen, Hoover Institution fellow\u003c/span>\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u003cbr>\n\u003c/span>\u003cb>Reel Hollywood Love for Oakland\u003cbr>\n\u003c/b>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Three movies released last year with ties to Oakland have won praise from audiences and critics alike.

"content": "\u003cp>California Attorney General Xavier Becerra announced on Tuesday an agreement with the Stockton Unified School District (SUSD) aimed at ending systemwide discrimination against minority and disabled students after an investigation found schools frequently referred students to the district's police department for issues that could have been handled by administrators or teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation found those practices had a disparate impact on African-American and Latino students and students with disabilities. It also raised concerns about the use of force in Stockton schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/filed-complaint-01.18.19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complaint\u003c/a> filed in Sacramento County Superior Court, a review and analysis of incident reports involving minors from 2013-2015 found some schools frequently requested assistance from law enforcement, “including for minor disciplinary infractions such as students refusing to switch classrooms and disrupting class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a Tuesday press conference in Stockton, Becerra said the policies and practices of SUSD and its police department led to students being criminalized for minor misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes that tracked a lot of these students into the criminal justice system, which begins that very vicious cycle that many consider the school-to-prison pipeline,” Becerra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Standing alongside Becerra, Stockton Unified School District Superintendent John Deasy pointed to changes the district has already made in its cooperation with the California Attorney General’s Office.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We take the notion of lifelong learning — not lifelong punishment — dead serious,” Deasy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We think a lot about ‘Stockton now’ and ‘Stockton then.’ This inquiry ... began a number of years ago and looked at the data at that point. The data looks different today. And that is a joint effort in examining what was pointed out and our commitment to do better,” Deasy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, a coalition of organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, alerted the California Department of Justice that increased police-student contact at Stockton schools appeared to be having a disproportionately negative impact on students of color and students with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California DOJ began investigating the school district and its police department in November 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, the ACLU sued Stockton Unified to obtain records of police interactions with students and eventually obtained the records through a settlement. \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/sites/default/files/Analysis_June-2017-Stockton-USD-Data-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arrest data\u003c/a> produced from the documents showed a “culture of over-policing” by the district, according to the ACLU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2017, the Attorney General’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/filed-complaint-01.18.19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concluded\u003c/a> that for children under 10, the odds of incidents with African-American students resulting in police action at Stockton Unified schools were 176.9 percent higher than for white students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DOJ's analysis found that the odds of an incident involving a Latino student 10 and over resulting in the student being booked into custody were 124 percent greater than for other students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation found that SUSD failed to modify its policies related to referrals to law enforcement, resulting in students with disabilities being subject to interrogation, use of force and/or arrest for behavior resulting from their disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When students acted out due to their disabilities, they were at times referred to law enforcement,” Becerra said. “We found that law enforcement referrals had a disparate impact on African-American and Latino students at Stockton Unified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the settlement, the Department of Justice will monitor Stockton Unified \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/filed-proposed-final-judgment.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for five years\u003c/a>. The district will also be required to reformulate clear policies with respect to when students are referred to law enforcement and adopt policies which state that police officers should not be involved in disciplinary infractions that are more appropriately the responsibility of school administrators and teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are cautiously optimistic,” said Linnea Nelson, an ACLU staff attorney who represents the organization in the Stockton Education Equity Coalition. “Several elements of the settlement agreement reflect positive changes for which the Stockton Education Equity Coalition, of which the ACLU is part, has been fighting for many years. ... We hope the district takes seriously its obligation to implement this agreement with fidelity.”\u003c/p>\n\n",

It also raised concerns about the use of force in Stockton schools.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>According to a \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/filed-complaint-01.18.19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">complaint\u003c/a> filed in Sacramento County Superior Court, a review and analysis of incident reports involving minors from 2013-2015 found some schools frequently requested assistance from law enforcement, “including for minor disciplinary infractions such as students refusing to switch classrooms and disrupting class.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At a Tuesday press conference in Stockton, Becerra said the policies and practices of SUSD and its police department led to students being criminalized for minor misconduct.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Oftentimes that tracked a lot of these students into the criminal justice system, which begins that very vicious cycle that many consider the school-to-prison pipeline,” Becerra said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

The data looks different today. And that is a joint effort in examining what was pointed out and our commitment to do better,” Deasy said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2015, a coalition of organizations, including the American Civil Liberties Union, alerted the California Department of Justice that increased police-student contact at Stockton schools appeared to be having a disproportionately negative impact on students of color and students with disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The California DOJ began investigating the school district and its police department in November 2015.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In 2016, the ACLU sued Stockton Unified to obtain records of police interactions with students and eventually obtained the records through a settlement. \u003ca href=\"https://www.aclunc.org/sites/default/files/Analysis_June-2017-Stockton-USD-Data-Report.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Arrest data\u003c/a> produced from the documents showed a “culture of over-policing” by the district, according to the ACLU.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In October 2017, the Attorney General’s Office \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/filed-complaint-01.18.19.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concluded\u003c/a> that for children under 10, the odds of incidents with African-American students resulting in police action at Stockton Unified schools were 176.9 percent higher than for white students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The DOJ's analysis found that the odds of an incident involving a Latino student 10 and over resulting in the student being booked into custody were 124 percent greater than for other students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The investigation found that SUSD failed to modify its policies related to referrals to law enforcement, resulting in students with disabilities being subject to interrogation, use of force and/or arrest for behavior resulting from their disabilities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When students acted out due to their disabilities, they were at times referred to law enforcement,” Becerra said. “We found that law enforcement referrals had a disparate impact on African-American and Latino students at Stockton Unified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As part of the settlement, the Department of Justice will monitor Stockton Unified \u003ca href=\"https://oag.ca.gov/system/files/attachments/press-docs/filed-proposed-final-judgment.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">for five years\u003c/a>. The district will also be required to reformulate clear policies with respect to when students are referred to law enforcement and adopt policies which state that police officers should not be involved in disciplinary infractions that are more appropriately the responsibility of school administrators and teachers.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are cautiously optimistic,” said Linnea Nelson, an ACLU staff attorney who represents the organization in the Stockton Education Equity Coalition. “Several elements of the settlement agreement reflect positive changes for which the Stockton Education Equity Coalition, of which the ACLU is part, has been fighting for many years. ... We hope the district takes seriously its obligation to implement this agreement with fidelity.”\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

And if that's the case, then they should be subject to the same laws.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, Brittany Chord Parmley, spokesperson for the \u003ca href=\"http://www.ccsa.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California Charter Schools Association\u003c/a>, said the vast majority of charter schools in California already comply with these laws.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The California Charter Schools Association has supported charter schools operating in transparent manner consistent with these laws and has been actively engaged in legislative discussions over these issues,\" Parmley said. \"However, we are concerned that a wholesale application of these laws to charter schools will harm the clear intent of the Charter Schools Act by preventing teachers from serving on their governing boards and allowing board members at charter schools to provide financial support or other resources which could be of great benefit to schools.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>California has the highest number of charter schools of any U.S. state. It also has more students attending charter schools than anywhere else. According to data from the \u003ca href=\"https://csba.org/-/media/CSBA/Files/GovernanceResources/Reports/201809CharterSchoolTFReport.ashx?la=en&rev=1c67d2c92b694007bac5a7ec50128aae\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">California School Boards Association\u003c/a>, there are nearly 1,300 California charter schools serving around 630,000 students. That's around 10 percent of all K-12 public school students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But despite the fact that charter schools receive public tax dollars, they do not currently have to adhere to requests for information or throw open the doors to their meetings. California's \u003ca href=\"https://www2.ed.gov/programs/statecharter/calistateapp.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Charter Schools Act\u003c/a> of 1992 provides schools with a high degree of autonomy and operational flexibility, exempting them from many of the laws governing school districts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Despite numerous reports in recent years of financial mismanagement and conflicts of interest, California governors previously vetoed several attempts to make charter schools more accountable.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For example, Assembly \u003ca href=\"http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billHistoryClient.xhtml?bill_id=201720180AB276\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Bill 276\u003c/a>, which would have required charter school boards and charter management organizations to adhere to such legislation as the Brown Act (which guarantees the public's right to attend and participate in meetings of local legislative bodies) and the California Public Records Act (allowing the public inspection of governmental records upon request) died on the senate floor at the end of November.\u003c/p>\n\n",
