Public Service
The Need for Public Transparency Regarding a Councilmember’s Resignation The purpose of this news release is to address some of the statements regarding Councilmember Mahan’s resignation. “When a councilmember resigns, that is a public act of a public official so we had to report it to the Council,” said Brian Doyle, City Attorney. “Eventually whatever the communication is that says, ‘I am hereby resigning’ – that is communicated to Council so they can do their duty under the Charter to declare the seat vacant.” The resignation of an elected official is not a confidential matter; it is an inherently public act. The City Charter requires
the Council to declare the Councilmember’s seat vacant. This action will be scheduled for the Feb. 11 Council & Concurrent Authorities Meeting. Per the Charter, the Council must act within 30 days of the vacancy being announced. These options include: • Appointing someone to the seat by a fourfifths vote within 30 days of the vacancy being announced; • Hold a special election; or • Keep the seat vacant until the November 2020 election. Councilmember Patricia M. Mahan’s official resignation, dated Jan. 22, 2020, was
transmitted to the City Council as part of the online agenda packet for the Jan. 28, 2020 Council and Authorities Concurrent Meeting. Per Councilmember Mahan’s resignation, the effective date is Feb. 1, 2020. “We understand that there have been statements about HIPPA violations. I am confident that no one in the City has violated HIPPA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) or any laws regarding confidentiality,” City Attorney Brian Doyle clarified. On Jan. 22, City Manager Deanna J. Santana contacted Councilmember

Mahan regarding the Councilmember’s resignation and advised her that the proper steps would be followed. Nothing in Councilmember Mahan’s official resignation statement mentions confidentiality. On Jan. 23, Ms. Santana offered Councilmember Mahan the opportunity to resubmit her letter and she declined. At 3:04 a.m. this morning, Councilmember Mahan submitted this email and requested that it be put in the form of a memo. In compliance with the California Public Records Act, the City cannot withhold or destroy a public document.

Good Move On January 10, Gov. Gavin Newsom unveiled his record $222 Billion state budget for 202021. The $84 billion he allocated in it for K-12 schools and community colleges represents a historic high level of funding for education in California. The proposed investment in K-14 education is 3.03 percent or $3.8 billion more than last year. Total K-12 expenditures from all sources in the budget are projected to be $17,964 per pupil. While state spending on education is at its highest level numerically, Governor Newsom expressed that “none of us is spiking the ball” because education outcomes for many students are not where it
should be or can be. According to Newsom, “We are making progress, but it is stubborn and slow. We have disparities that are being closed and disparities that are persistent.” The achievement gap is being closed for Latinx students, students with disabilities, low income students, and AfricanAmerican students in some metrics. Latinx students narrowed their gap in English language arts scores and high school graduation rates. Students with disabilities made the greatest gains in math and English language arts. AfricanAmerican students showed the largest graduation rate gain among student groups. Where progress has been slow has been with
Gov. Newsom Breaks Record With Tens-of-Billions Spending Plan for Public Schools students with disabilities, youth in foster care, homeless youth, and African-American students continuing to score below the state standard on English language arts and math tests. Newsom was very candid in pointing out that 23 low-performing, high-poverty school districts have an overrepresentation of AfricanAmerican students. “It seems self evident that we should focus and concentrate our efforts in those areas in order to address ….the substance of the vexing issue as it relates to academic achievement for AfricanAmerican students.” “We have to start
said. The budget includes $100 million to fund $20,000 stipends for new teachers who choose to teach in high-need schools. This addresses the stubborn fact that high-poverty schools have three times as many unprepared teachers. $300 million in grants is being made available to close the academic achievement in the lowest-performing districts. Another $300 million is proposed to expand community schools to address students’ physical and mental health needs by establishing publicprivate partnerships with community services. The funds will also be

getting serious and do something about it. We believe the biggest achievement boost is fully prepared teachers,” Newsom said. The governor is proposing $900.1 million to be invested in workforce investment grants, professional development grants for existing teachers, and teacher recruitment strategies. “The plan is to build a diverse teaching workforce of stable, prepared professional teachers, including more teachers that look like their students. That’s incredibly important as related particularly to African-American achievement,” Newsom

used to promote parent engagement. “Special Education in the state of California is in a crisis,” according to Newsom. About $900 million dollars is being allocated to increase base funding for Special Ed students, support specific teacher training, fund early diagnosing and intervention and pay for studies on how districts are delivering services to respond to the learning needs of those students. The budget calls for establishing a new Department of Early Childhood Development to consolidate under one roof the various efforts to implement the governor’s Master Plan for Early Learning and Care, a policy initiative he announced last year. Newsom is committed to adding 10,000 full-time preschool slots this year and providing universal preschool for all lowincome 4-year-olds by the
end of next year. Education leaders’ reactions to the governor’s 2020-21 state budget presentation has been mixed. “The Governor mentioned that students should have teachers that look more like
them, and we couldn’t agree more. We look forward to having the opportunity to invest in our teacher workforce and the pipeline of future teachers coming into the profession, specifically teachers of color and in the fields of science, math, and special education,” Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond said. State Board of Education President Linda Darling Hammond said, “Some students spend the year in classrooms staffed by highly trained, highly prepared teachers. But many others do not. These disparities are particularly grievous for low-income students of color. The 2020-21 budget investments in educator recruitment and professional development will help place California on solid footing moving forward as we work to
Page 9
Good Move build, train and support the kind of high-quality educator workforce all our students need and deserve.” California Teachers Association President E. Toby Boyd expresses some cynicism. “Despite California’s economy consistently expanding – now being ranked fifth-largest in the entire world – we have some of the most underfunded schools in the country,” he said. “We rank 39th in the nation in per-pupil funding. We boast the most overcrowded classrooms in the entire country.” Los Angeles Unified Superintendent Austin Beutner said, “California’s public schools will remain woefully underfunded, especially when compared with the rest of the
nation.” “This budget proposal does not go far enough in funding supports for our most vulnerable students,” Beutner added. “Including students whose families are experiencing homelessness and students with special needs.” The governor’s presentation begins the formal state budget process. Over the next several months, the California legislature will hold hearings on the budget and special interest groups and the public will have an opportunity to comment on various budget proposals. In midMay the Governor will release a revised budget plan reflecting changes to spending. The budget will be finalized by the end of June 2020.

YANG CAMPAIGN ANNOUNCES CA STATE ASSEMBLYMEMBER EVAN LOW AS NEW NATIONAL CAMPAIGN CO-CHAIR On January 15, California State Assemblymember Evan Low officially endorsed Andrew Yang
Evan Low
for president. Low is the Assemblymember for the 28th California Assembly District that encompasses the heart of Silicon Valley. In addition to the endorsement, Low is joining the Yang Campaign as a National Campaign CoChair. “Andrew Yang has proposed the most innovative solutions to the toughest problems facing our nation,” said Assemblymember Evan Low. “He inspires a brave, bold new vision for our country. His tenacious presidential
campaign performance proves he is the candidate we need to make the current occupant of the White House a one-term president. I am proud to endorse Andrew Yang and serve as a National Campaign Co-Chair.” “Evan is a dynamic and proven leader in the great State of California. Time and time again, he has demonstrated his commitment to representing diverse and dynamic voices and enacting policies that make our society more equitable,” said Andrew Yang. “I’m excited to welcome this trailblazer to our team as we work to rewrite the rules of the 21st century for our children.”
Low, a longtime champion for Silicon Valley families in the state legislature, is the founder of the California Legislative Technology and Innovation Caucus. He is also Chair Emeritus of the California LGBT Legislative Caucus. As a State Assemblymember and advocate, Low has successfully pushed through legislation protecting and celebrating LGBTQ rights, fighting opioid abuse, and maintaining the integrity of the electoral process. Low joining the campaign follows Andrew Yang’s record $16.5 million haul in the final fundraising quarter of 2019, and on the heels
of endorsements from actors Dave Chappelle, Ken Jeong, Steven Yeun and Donald Glover, as well as political activist Cameron Kasky. Low joined Yang for a reception on Thursday, Jan. 16 to discuss his new role with the campaign and the campaign’s plan to compete in California on Super Tuesday.

American artist Thomas Kinkade’s Family opens CityTeam House of Light for Homeless Women and Children Thomas Kinkade, the Painter of Light™, is one ofAmerica’s most recognized artists whose artwork was at one time found in 1 out of 20 households in the U.S. After his passing in 2012, Kinkade’s wife, Nanette, and their four daughters, Merritt, Chandler, Winsor and Everett, founded The Kinkade Family Foundation to honor his memory in the ways he
would most appreciate, by touching lives with his art and helping people in need. Encompassing these beliefs the Kinkade Family Foundation donated funds for a 6 bedroom home to CityTeam naming it the House of Light in recognition of Thomas Kinkade’s signature artwork. “The Kinkade Family
