it's not actually school at all. it's the schools choice. so schools actually do the choosing and we have to remind, i mean, folks who have already gone through the process, gotten into private school, they think they're, fine, you know, that's a that is part of the conversation that needs to be had. but for just starting out, maybe their kids are younger, they're not quite at kindergarten or they think these these these voucher systems, they might work for me. you do have to get into the school. you want to for these things to have any shot number or you're in arizona you can use your voucher money for home school type expenses. well that's not true everywhere. but it is true here. i would say for, you know, the the larger group of folks i mean, at some point there does have to a like we know that public again as i mentioned we know directly investing in public schools has community wide impacts. if somebody is thinking strictly selfish economic terms, better resourced public schools have higher property values around them. i mean, it's not

the public school system. the public schools have provided the space for nearly all of these day nurseries, part of a broad educational program in which wpa has helped millions of children and adults here is another case where an investment made today great dividends and a future of good citizenship. another form of public service is shown in the establishment of life saving glasses and then the employment of lifeguards to protect the lives of bathers, beaches and pools are guarded as are abandoned. and other places, which were formerly hazardous. warning devices, have been erected near schools to remind motorists of their obligation to drive safely and sanely. as an example of work accomplished in park improvement in ohio, a zoo in toledo is being transformed into one of the nation's finest institutions. here again, salvaged materials were utilized in construction. in a new amphitheater, we find the wpa symphony orchestra giving one of its regular concerts under the works program. these musicians, artists in

a school district proposed closing ocean shore school. they're saying they need to do this because of a budget deficit. kron four's terisa stasio has more now from the school. >> fighting to try and save ocean shore school. that's the goal behind a wednesday afternoon rally and yes, absolutely. it is the pacific. a school district is facing a 3 million dollars shortfall. as a result. they're looking to cruise ocean >> i think to a great facility split students between just schools in the district. >> that parents don't want to see that happen. >> and dismantling our schools by closing down and take it to it's great get on another school site. school board has very specific legal processes they have to follow. when we're talking about a school closure. the district's website paints a detailed a complicated set of issues. the board is facing. it also reveals a series of steps the district has already taken. >> to try and mitigate the problems such as cuts in programs furlough days and seeking more grant yes, we're going slow it down and be

i am very fortunate to go to private middle school and high school. i did go to public elementary school and there is a huge gap in education and resources available in public and private. i can't speak to that now. >> it has been a huge burden. recently both our school nurse and our school wellness coordinator left and there was an iligez to the fact it was connected to the pay roll issues occurring with sfusd and not just that but they are already paid much less then other public school districts private school districts, like for nurses if they were to work somewhere else so it is really hard to attract people to work in these schools and we don't budget enough positions in the first place. now we have 7 school counselors for like a body of 3,000 kids and you can think of the kids that have questions about college and classes to take to graduate. it is just not enough resources in the schools. i went to sfusd middle school and we had one counselor for each grade level, but it just really isn't enough and a lot of schools-it kind of-there is pto or

special schools, school is able to attract the best teachers, school is able to tailor the curriculum she wants to educational standards? i just have to say to the honourable gentleman that just just have to say to the honourable gentleman thatjust isn't the case and i would invite him to read the bill and i will come onto further measures that we are setting out. madam deputy speaker, if we believe that every child deserves the best, but every class deserves a top teacher, that every state school must be a great school, then we can't have excellence for some and just ok for the rest. we need all schools working together to deliver national, high quality offer for all children with the flexibility to innovate beyond that. so that parents know whatever their local school, this government is their child's greatest champion. the best schools in trusts do incredible work and i pay tribute to them. they are engines of innovation, civic leaders, collaboration and improvement central to their success. they prove excellence already exists in the system, now is the time to spread it to all sch

poor schools, this is rural schools and urban schools. we have a problem. further more when we look at our ap u.s. government scores ap u.s. government is a class that only 2% of our students ever take it is top of the top one who is think they know and want about government, it is the fifth lowest scoring the last six years. and in 2023 it was the second lowest scoring test. majority of students who sit for that exam do not earn enough points to have college credits. so we know that there's indicators that there are problems in the way we're teaching this or rather than teaching and i'll tell you ma the model delivery style is and in eighth or seven grade you get u.s. history or world history and that's like under umbrella of social studies and we wait until senior year of high school and say now h here's your government class you're going learn how to vote everything aboutt founding fathers in expansion then you're onse your way we're doing too little too late government is hard it is history it is comp temporary it is personalities. we

this is rich school schools. poor schools. this is rural schools and urban schools.have a problem. furthermore, when we look at our ap, us government scores and ap, us government is this it's a class that only 2% of our students ever take. it's the top of the top, the ones who really think they know and want to learn more about government. it is the fifth lowest scoring test for the last six years and in 2023 it was the second lowest scoring test. the majority of students who sit for that exam do not earn enough points to have college credit. so we know that there's indicators that there are problems in the way that we're teaching this, or rather not teaching it. and while i can't say how every school does this, i'll tell you what the modal delivery style is in eighth grade or seventh grade, you're going to get a class called u.s. history or world history. and that's like under the umbrella of social studies. and then we wait again until your second semester of your senior year of high school and say, now, here's your government class. you're going to learn how to vo

schools.i worry i'm going to have to deconstructive eight hours of every day they learn in school something very different. we pay a modest tuition to send them to a christian academy where they learn about patriotism and faith and civics and they learn the classics and they may not have a great basketball team, which i'm a little worried about an football team, liberty is not known for its gridiron skills, but i feel like they will be infused -- the world today is much different than the assumption that in small-town minnesota you will get infused with community values the way i was. our culture has been captured by moral relativism, whether it is progressive elites with a different view of what we should be emphasizing with our kids. i was tempted not to include a whole lot about how you infuse citizenship at a public school level because it become so political, about how you teach the founding documents, how you teach the founders. different iologies control that curriculum and you can see

but at least 5 schools could close. the board will vote on a final plan next month. >> tonight, 3 teenagers are dead after a head-on crash in gilroy. and we're learning that the 17 18 year-olds were all students at hollister. high school. this crash happened just before 7 last night on shore road. the chp says that the car with 4 teenagers inside lost control swerved into the opposite lane, hitting another car head-on with a woman inside. officers say that the surviving teenager was taken to the hospital in critical condition. the woman in the other car was also taken to the hospital and is expected to survive. not clear what caused the teen driver to swerve or drugs or alcohol were involved in this crash. the shut down the road for about 10 hours. a fire broke out in the oakland hills today off lockard street. fire crews were delayed in their response time, all due to budget cuts and closed. i are stations recently close a first good and went to the home and spoke with the fire chief is well as people live around there

hayden: i went off to teach at the library school in the university of pittsburgh and that school waseally before its time. the dean there, toni carbo, really wanted to make sure there was a merger with information science, computer science. she brought in technology companies. it was an innovative library school. david: did you go back to chicago from there? dr. hayden: i went back because one of my students i had sent off with all this "knowledge is power" and work in libraries and help people, he came back and said i'm going to get a phd and i want to teach. i said i thought you were doing so well at this big urban library. he said you told me to bring my ideas up and i saw the director of the library and i went up to him and i was trying to tell him some of the things i was interested in, and he blew me off. i thought, ok. so, i'm coming back to academia. david: what did you do? you joined the chicago -- dr. hayden: the chicago public library. david: you rose up to be the? dr. hayden: the chief librarian. i also did a stint at the museum of science and industry. that was really he

the a school for years in cardiology as a p.a. no discussion of nutrition, no real discussion of people sick because level. i was told by the cardiologist i work with financier, think in the box. cannot think of the whole body. in the western medical system we are badly broken. we're not serving patients will. after school in which a residence at university of washington in seattle. one of the most prestigious universities in one of the highest rated hospitals in the country for primary care. no discussion of nutrition no discussion of food or food quality and no discussion of what is making patient sick. what i was told threat my medical education was memorizing thousands of drugs understand the side effects and went to prescribe them. the medical system is badly broken and i've been through it. this is not surprising. our message goes look to have role in our society. they're not entirely bad but the pharmaceutical companies are wildly infested medical education, research at the level of the fda and usda. there is profound corru

another bay area school district facing a large deficit and school closures are up for debate. tonight's meeting in the north bay that drew more than 100 concerned parents and teachers, and a four year old little girl shot as she rode in a car with her mother. >> details on the gun district held the first of several town hall meetings this week to get input on potential school mergers and closures. the district is facing a $20 million deficit. ktvu tori gaines joins us live from outside montgomery high school, where parents and teachers made their voices heard. tori. >> good evening. claudine. we've been hearing about potential school closures at districts across the bay area for the past year. here, santa rosa city schools says their deficit is due to declining school student enrollment, as well as the loss of covid era funding. now that's bay area school districts are struggling to make ends meet, and santa rosa city schools is no different. the district announced in november that it's facing a $20 million deficit, and closing or consolidating schools is the only way forward.

as we evacuated some schools, then wednesday as we close the handful of schools today where all schoolsin l.a. unified. nearly a thousand schools are closed and then thinking through tomorrow, but also next week and next month and next year. we have two elementary schools in my district and the palisades that are completely destroyed. we have a high school that luckily is mostly intact, but we have thousands of families that are displaced. my district director of palisades, resident and parent, lost her house. and so we are, you know, today schools are closed in l.a. they'll likely be closed tomorrow. we're trying to make announcements soon. we the bar for school closures is incredibly high, as it should be, not only because kids have missed too much school in the last few years, but also we have a population in l.a. where 85% of our kids in public schools are living in poverty, so they rely on the schools for meals and for child care. but we also realize that with 5 or 6 fires raging and air quality, we need to we need to take that into account as well. and then, you know, as the. yeah

about 100 schools out of 1,000 schools. the areas that i'm speaking about, are schools located north of manchester boulevard, firestorm boulevard. east of tenth avenue, west of i- 710, and south of highway 134. any school within that area, and that accounts again, for the eastern part of our district, where the air quality met or exceeded levels that are not appropriate for employees or students to be around or effectively shut down. we will be making decisions about what will happen in those schools, going into tomorrow, by 4:00 p.m. today, based on the evolution conditions. in fact, since we made the decision to shut down those schools, air quality conditions have improved significantly, despite the fact that they worsened significantly, overnight. i want to speak specifically about schools surrounding the palisades area. as of last night, we had to shut down five schools as a result of mandatory evacuation conditions. those were kinter canyon elementary school. canyon elementary school. marquez elementary school, palisad

sunday school.ead of sending our kids to school monday through friday that has god in it, we take that out of the school and we send them to school for one hour on sunday. you see what happens as a result. i would look closely at an elite school any private school and any christian school and look at the baseline prerogatives of what they teach and compare it against the liberal arts classical approach that david has and i think you'll see a stark difference. >> if i could jump in real quick, real quick. it's exhibit a in what we're talking about with the educational state where they control accreditation, teacher certification, because it doesn't matter if you go to a christian high school or an independent prep school, , they are all trained in that system. that's the point were trying to make is the reason that i woke is because they get the same training as everybody else. the prescription we have in the book is out and go a totally different direction. >> tactical retreat is what we call it. so

we ended up going to stillwell high school and moved away from the school i met this young lady at and she followed me into that school because she was obsessed with me. [laughter] that's notot true? oh, i tight when they got 27 years of marriage you learn how to apologize quick. i'm sorry. that's a were successful in marriage. i find myself at the high school but everything is going good. i'm caught up in my classes i'm excelling in some of my classes not all my classes, still getting in trouble a lot of silver really bad temper 15 years old i decided to move out of the house i found a room in a barn so people site wasn't raised in a barn he say yes i was. i found myself in a barn for mpeg my own your chosen working everyday, i'm getting up early milking for a neighbor hauling sheet rock on the day and so s going to school on time i'm cutting wood in the winter. do everything i had to do to make money and pay for myself of the same time making term top of my studies so i could get a scholarship and i'm arresting wrestling and excelling unfocused, i'm all it ever things goingfo great.

school?ke high school still went through that education and still got the quest program and that reiteration of that forest lake high school and conservative minnesota. they controlled the pipeline of every aspect of the educational industrial complex. they unions being the most powerful arm at that but the teachers colleges the textbook, curriculum, certification, accreditation all hard left us. we want to disavow people of the idea you could move to eight nice zip code or i'm going to move to a conservative community and everything is going to be okay. the problem is the pipeline has been federal lies they controlled the positions. protesting is good. doing something for your kid is good we argue it's utterly insufficient at this point. >> if i could add just the one thing, the money involved is icing on the cake. it's the biggest industrial complex in this country, dollar for dollar. not only is infrastructure solidly and handily progressives but the money is two. request was not defined i

education in high schools. all california high school students have to take a health education class to graduate. a new law now requires fentanyl education be included in those courses. that means teachers would have to explain what fentanyl is, the risks of using it, and maybe most importantly, how to detect when drugs may be laced with fentanyl through the use of test strips or spotting signs of an overdose, and learning how to reverse an overdose with naloxone, schools have the next year to figure out how they plan to incorporate those that curriculum into their health courses, and then in 2026, they will have to start teaching it. live in pleasant hill ali rasmus, ktvu, fox two news. >> okay, ali thank you. time now 704. happening today, governor newsom will preview some key elements of the state budget. while the governor's office hasn't released any specifics. governor newsom is expected to talk about the importance of technology and clean energy on creating jobs and boosting the economy. while he's in th

several schools that could be close. franklin mckinley school district says it's faced with a severely declining enrollment. my first. started teaching at bridges. it was fair. and i think there were like 80900 students who richard brooks teaches at the district and says the decline in enrollment has been going on for years. and i know parents are worried about. >> their schools because they're, you know, pretty much community centers. and while his school bridges academy is not on the chopping block, he has a personal tie to dall elementary's. i attended there when i was a child. i had a long history. there was nice to see an honor for the 9.11 victims and for, you know, james don't sell. so it's kind of sad to see something that i thought to be around forever. and the community, you know, possibly going away forever. the district telling kron for news in a statement, quote, at this time, no decisions have been made regarding which school sites will be impacted if captain jason and dodd elementary is selected for closur

the very small school districts. may surprise some people to know that over 10% of all districts in california have fewer than 100 students. so a district like that, even one big settlement or one big judgment could bankrupt the district. so what we're asking the state to do is provide some sort of fund, some sort of pool to help backstop the districts. so their financial solvency is not threatened. the district doesn't go bankrupt and needed resources that today's students require are not diverted. so it's not that we are opposing victims compensation. quite the opposite. we just want to make sure that doesn't jeopardize the school district and the education that today's kids receive. understood. okay. troy flint, thank you so much for joining us. and we are interested to hear what t governor has to say and see if it's in line with what you're what you're hoping for as well. take care. it's 551 right now. i'm going to switch gears and talk a little sports this morning for the faithful. it's time to look to the next

mckinley school district. this is the only school that's been named after a hero, right? especially someone who passed away on such an historic day for us. and so to have to close the school would just break our hearts. for parent charmaine pollack, it's even more personal because of her two foster children. dahl is what's known as a trauma skilled school. the boys have emotional and trauma prior to me taking care of them, and they have come a long way within the last year. bottom line, with the district losing 40% of its student body since 2011, cuts are necessary. but in a statement, the district said no final decision has been made. but if captain jason m dahl elementary is selected for closure, we remain deeply committed to honoring and celebrating the legacy of captain dahl, a hero who will always hold a special place in our community. still tonight, emotions remain high at a school named for a san jose native many see as an american hero. damian trujillo nbc, bay area news. still ahead, a bay congressman
