Math scores fell only 4 points.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>In Mt. Diablo Unified, one of the few districts to break down the results by subgroup, Black, Latino, English learner, foster and unhoused students had far lower scores compared with 2019 than their white and Asian peers. For example, among English learners, 96% did not meet the math or reading standards.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>By and large, scores show little change from 2021, the first year results were released after the state suspended the 2020 tests due to COVID. The 2021 test was optional for schools to administer, so results were limited and likely not an accurate reflection of students’ progress overall. Just under 25% of students took the test in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lodi Unified saw scores in both math and reading improve from 2021, but they still lag significantly from 2019. That’s not a surprise, considering the difficulties teachers and students faced as they returned from distance learning, said Robert Sahli, assistant superintendent.[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Lucrecia Santibañez, associate professor of education, UCLA\"]‘COVID was tough for everyone … But these scores signal that we need to make a personalized, intensive effort to help kids catch up and recoup what they’ve lost.’[/pullquote]“Last year, even though we were back in person, it was very challenging,” he said. “Teachers and support staff were working very hard to address learning loss while also responding to the social-emotional impacts on learning and socializing at school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other districts, Lodi has hired more tutors and teachers to help students catch up, beefed up summer school and after-school academic offerings, adopted new curricula and taken other steps to bring students to proficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heather Hough, director of Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), said the preliminary results are actually better than she expected. Because 2022 is the first year all schools were required to give the test, she anticipated a significant drop from 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We thought 2022 would be a recovery year, but there was so much chaos — teacher shortages, students missing school — that it turned out to be another pandemic year,” she said. “If the scores are the same (as 2021), that’s actually encouraging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the state releases the full data, Hough and her colleagues will pay close attention to differences among subgroups and statistical anomalies. If one district, for example, shows good results for students in special education, it would be worth researching what special steps that district has taken.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She also noted that some students thrived during remote learning, so she expects some good news, as well. In any case, schools and districts, as well as statewide policymakers, should use the scores to shape their allocation of resources in the coming years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we get this data, we’ll finally be able to see how California is doing, what challenges we’re facing, and how we can best help students as we move forward,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In anticipation of the statewide release of test scores, the state last week launched a push for schools to help students regain skills they lost during COVID. The state is emphasizing accelerated learning, rather than remedial lessons, to speed up the process.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Steps like that could be the most useful result of the Smarter Balanced scores, said Lucrecia Santibañez, associate professor of education at UCLA. Closely analyzing the data and using it to forge a path forward — specifically for certain groups of students — is more useful than assigning blame, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“COVID was tough for everyone, and it’s not worth putting blame on anyone. Everyone was trying the best they could. But these scores signal that we need to make a personalized, intensive effort to help kids catch up and recoup what they’ve lost,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the scores are disappointing, they can be an important tool to help schools pinpoint resources in the future, she said. The scores can provide a window into what exact content students have missed, where they’re lagging and which students need the most help, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Mt. Diablo Unified, Raymond Tjen-A-Looi, director of assessment, research and evaluation, told the school board that comparisons with 2021 aren’t helpful because education was still so disrupted due to COVID.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re concentrating on using 2022 as a baseline, with the expectation that everything will stay the same going forward — testing will be in person, instruction will be in person,” he said. “So moving forward, hopefully, we’ll be able to do more comparisons and see how well we are making up for what we’ve lost.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2022/preliminary-glimpse-at-test-scores-shows-steep-declines-in-reading-math/679898?amp=1\">\u003cem>This story originally appeared in EdSource.\u003c/em>\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n","blocks":[],"excerpt":"The California Department of Education will release the 2022 Smarter Balanced assessments in full by the end of October, but preliminary results from 10 big school districts so far show that students face major challenges statewide.","status":"publish","parent":0,"modified":1701732840,"stats":{"hasAudio":false,"hasVideo":false,"hasChartOrMap":false,"iframeSrcs":[],"hasGoogleForm":false,"hasGallery":false,"hasHearkenModule":false,"hasPolis":false,"paragraphCount":22,"wordCount":1078},"headData":{"title":"Preliminary Glimpse at Test Scores Shows Steep Declines in Reading, Math | KQED","description":"The California Department of Education will release the 2022 Smarter Balanced assessments in full by the end of October, but preliminary results from 10 big school districts so far show that students face major challenges statewide.","ogTitle":"","ogDescription":"","ogImgId":"","twTitle":"","twDescription":"","twImgId":"","schema":{"@context":"http://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Preliminary Glimpse at Test Scores Shows Steep Declines in Reading, Math","datePublished":"2022-10-20T19:15:39.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-04T23:34:00.000Z","image":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png","isAccessibleForFree":"Y","publisher":{"@type":"NewsMediaOrganization","@id":"https://www.kqed.org/#organization","name":"KQED","url":"https://www.kqed.org","logo":"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/KQED-OG-Image@1x.png"}}},"source":"EdSource","sourceUrl":"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/edsource","nprByline":"\u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/author/cjones\">Carolyn Jones\u003c/a>, \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/author/dwillis\">Daniel J.

Diablo Unified, one of the few districts to break down the results by subgroup, Black, Latino, English learner, foster and unhoused students had far lower scores compared with 2019 than their white and Asian peers. For example, among English learners, 96% did not meet the math or reading standards.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cp>By and large, scores show little change from 2021, the first year results were released after the state suspended the 2020 tests due to COVID. The 2021 test was optional for schools to administer, so results were limited and likely not an accurate reflection of students’ progress overall. Just under 25% of students took the test in 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Lodi Unified saw scores in both math and reading improve from 2021, but they still lag significantly from 2019. That’s not a surprise, considering the difficulties teachers and students faced as they returned from distance learning, said Robert Sahli, assistant superintendent.\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"‘COVID was tough for everyone … But these scores signal that we need to make a personalized, intensive effort to help kids catch up and recoup what they’ve lost.’","name":"pullquote","attributes":{"named":{"size":"medium","align":"right","citation":"Lucrecia Santibañez, associate professor of education, UCLA","label":""},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>“Last year, even though we were back in person, it was very challenging,” he said. “Teachers and support staff were working very hard to address learning loss while also responding to the social-emotional impacts on learning and socializing at school.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like other districts, Lodi has hired more tutors and teachers to help students catch up, beefed up summer school and after-school academic offerings, adopted new curricula and taken other steps to bring students to proficiency.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Heather Hough, director of Policy Analysis for California Education (PACE), said the preliminary results are actually better than she expected. Because 2022 is the first year all schools were required to give the test, she anticipated a significant drop from 2021.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We thought 2022 would be a recovery year, but there was so much chaos — teacher shortages, students missing school — that it turned out to be another pandemic year,” she said. “If the scores are the same (as 2021), that’s actually encouraging.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the state releases the full data, Hough and her colleagues will pay close attention to differences among subgroups and statistical anomalies.

Everyone was trying the best they could. But these scores signal that we need to make a personalized, intensive effort to help kids catch up and recoup what they’ve lost,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Although the scores are disappointing, they can be an important tool to help schools pinpoint resources in the future, she said. The scores can provide a window into what exact content students have missed, where they’re lagging and which students need the most help, she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At Mt.

What do you want to happen?’” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Mage is optimistic, but also worries that the district will struggle to hire someone for the position while the school year is already underway, especially when interviewing for the job has yet to begin. The district has grappled with high turnover and low resources in the Title IX office for years. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On top of the student advocate role, the district will need to hire a new investigator after the previous person in that post stepped down in September. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The federal rules governing how schools respond to Title IX complaints are also expected to change by the next school year, a move many advocates for victims and survivors are eager to see. The Biden administration is in the process of overturning Title IX regulations adopted by former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, which offered greater protections for people accused of misconduct and significantly narrowed the definition of sexual harassment. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for Ava Murakami, she says a few weeks ago she met with the district’s Title IX coordinator and compliance officer, Jasmina Viteskic, who started the job in November.

The district has grappled with high turnover and low resources in the Title IX office for years. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">On top of the student advocate role, the district will need to hire a new investigator after the previous person in that post stepped down in September. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The federal rules governing how schools respond to Title IX complaints are also expected to change by the next school year, a move many advocates for victims and survivors are eager to see. The Biden administration is in the process of overturning Title IX regulations adopted by former Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos, which offered greater protections for people accused of misconduct and significantly narrowed the definition of sexual harassment. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">As for Ava Murakami, she says a few weeks ago she met with the district’s Title IX coordinator and compliance officer, Jasmina Viteskic, who started the job in November. Viteskic holds office hours for students at Berkeley High twice a week. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Murakami said Viteskic walked her through the Title IX process, providing the kind of transparency that was missing when she first sought out help. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“And she explained to me, ‘This is where they did you wrong,’” Murakami said. “I just kept having this, like, ‘Oh,’ moment of just, like, ‘Oh, that’s what happened with my report.’ So I actually feel a lot better.” \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Murakami said Viteskic also brought up the demands fellow students had drafted when they first walked out of class to protest the school’s response to sexual misconduct back in 2020. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">“That was crazy cool,” Murakami said. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">The demands include regular training on consent for student athletes as well as a long-term and properly paid Title IX coordinator. \u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400\">Students like Murakami plan to continue revising the demands this year based on the school’s progress, and on what their classmates need.\u003c/span>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"floatright"},"numeric":["floatright"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11928094/reporting-sexual-misconduct-in-high-school-can-be-traumatic-a-new-position-at-berkeley-unified-aims-to-help","authors":["11635"],"categories":["news_6188","news_8"],"tags":["news_31779","news_31177","news_22602","news_6215"],"featImg":"news_11928106","label":"news"},"news_11892267":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11892267","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11892267","score":null,"sort":[1634247951000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"what-california-parents-and-teachers-need-to-know-about-universal-transitional-kindergarten","title":"What California Parents and Teachers Need to Know About Universal Transitional Kindergarten","publishDate":1634247951,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>Even as the pandemic continues to disrupt the way children learn, California is poised to make a historic investment in its early education system.

Until then, children who were 4 years old on Sept. 1 could still enroll in regular kindergarten as long as they turned 5 by Dec. 2 of that year. But the new law changed that.

These are the students who narrowly miss the cutoff for regular kindergarten. The new $2.7 billion universal TK program, by contrast, will gradually be made available to every 4-year-old in California, eventually serving nearly 400,000 students. It will essentially become California’s version of a universal preschool program, available to all children regardless of income.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>5. How long will it take for universal transitional kindergarten to be fully rolled out?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>It is expected to be rolled out beginning in the 2022-2023 school year, expanding annually until it is available to all the state’s 4-year-olds by 2025-2026. The plan is to gradually phase in younger students each year. However, some school districts are ahead of the curve, having already expanded TK to most 4-year-olds.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>6. How large will the class sizes be?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Small class sizes are optimal to give young kids the attention they need.

The ratios for TK are expected to start out at 12 students to 1 teacher or teaching assistant and transition to 10 students to 1 teacher by the 2025-2026 school year. That is about half the size of many current TK classes, many of which rely on parent volunteers to help teachers. Many preschool settings enjoy an even smaller ratio.

What will the credential requirements for TK teachers be?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Currently, TK teachers are required to have a multiple-subject teaching credential, the same credential teachers need for all the elementary grades. By 2023, TK teachers also will need to complete an additional 24 units of early childhood education coursework or the equivalent, as deemed by their employer, or they will need to hold a \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/credentials/leaflets/child-development-permits-(cl-797)\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">child-development permit\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>10.

What will TK teachers get paid?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>That is ultimately determined by districts, but typically, TK teachers are paid the same as kindergarten teachers. It should be noted that K-12 teachers generally earn about 38% more than preschool teachers and child care workers, according to \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/workforce-index-2020/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a> at the University of California, Berkeley. That wage disparity helps explain why 17% of the state’s early childhood educators live in poverty, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>12. Is there a pathway for preschool teachers, a workforce that's predominately women of color, to move into TK careers?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Commission on Teacher Credentialing\u003c/a> has developed a proposal that would create a pathway for preschool teacher permit holders to gain the preparation they need to teach TK without completing all the requirements for a multiple-subject teaching credential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, about 49% of early childhood teachers in child care centers have a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/early-educators-equipped-to-teach-tk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>13. Will TK be a full-day or a half-day program?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Universal TK, like kindergarten, is a local choice of full-day or part-day.

It should be noted that K-12 teachers generally earn about 38% more than preschool teachers and child care workers, according to \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/workforce-index-2020/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">the Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a> at the University of California, Berkeley. That wage disparity helps explain why 17% of the state’s early childhood educators live in poverty, experts say.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>12. Is there a pathway for preschool teachers, a workforce that's predominately women of color, to move into TK careers?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.ctc.ca.gov/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Commission on Teacher Credentialing\u003c/a> has developed a proposal that would create a pathway for preschool teacher permit holders to gain the preparation they need to teach TK without completing all the requirements for a multiple-subject teaching credential.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Right now, about 49% of early childhood teachers in child care centers have a bachelor’s degree or higher, according to Berkeley’s \u003ca href=\"https://cscce.berkeley.edu/early-educators-equipped-to-teach-tk/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Center for the Study of Child Care Employment\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>13. Will TK be a full-day or a half-day program?\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Universal TK, like kindergarten, is a local choice of full-day or part-day. However, the state’s new \u003ca href=\"https://edsource.org/2021/staffing-shortage-delays-ambitious-program-to-extend-school-day-and-year-in-california/661436\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Expanded Learning Opportunities Program\u003c/a> requires that local educational agencies offer a nine-hour school day including before- and after-class services.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>14.

Why should we have to go through a bureaucratic hassle to get a kid fed, when we could just have universal meals?’[/pullquote]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This is so historic. It’s beyond life-changing,” said Erin Primer, director of food services for the San Luis Coastal Unified School District on California’s central coast.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several U.S. cities, including New York, Boston and Chicago, already offer free school meals for all. But until recently, statewide universal meal programs were considered too costly and unrealistic. California became the first state to adopt a universal program late last month, and Maine followed shortly after with a similar plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve completely leveled the playing field when it comes to school food,” Primer said. The extra funding will also allow her to offer tastier, better-quality food such as fresh bread, produce and cheese from local producers, she said.\u003cbr>\n[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Under federal rules, a family of four must make less than $34,000 a year to qualify for free meals and $48,000 to qualify for reduced-price meals. The caps shift annually but are based on federal poverty measures that don’t take into account the high cost of living and taxes in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it’s just for the most poor families, and not even all of them because some people failed to sign up or were fearful to sign up,” said Kat Taylor, a philanthropist and major funder of the Center for Ecoliteracy and the TomKat Ranch that backed California’s plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 60% of California students qualify, but experts say the number of children who need food assistance is much higher in a state with vast income inequality. Communities of color are disproportionately affected and immigrant communities in particular are fearful of applying because of detailed forms that ask intrusive questions such as their family income, Social Security number and children’s immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools reported a declining percentage of families applying for free and reduced-price meals during the Trump administration, which attempted to tighten immigration policies and public benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like school officials statewide, Primer has countless tales of children who struggled to pay for school meals or were too ashamed to eat for free. There was the child whose mother called Primer, distraught because she made a few hundred dollars too much to qualify; the father who is in the country illegally and feared that filling out the free meal application could get him deported; and constant cases of high schoolers not wanting friends to know they need free food, so they skip eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the pandemic hit, it changed everything — including how school meals were served — and provided an impetus for the universal program, which had bipartisan, unanimous support. Lawmakers previously had only pursued targeted bills such as easing school lunch debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After schools shut in March 2020, many transformed their parking lots into pickup sites, and federal funding allowed schools to offer meals to anyone. There were no applications, qualifications and no questions asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massive turnout showed how much families rely on the meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Unified School District, the state’s largest with 600,000 students, handed out upward of 400,000 meals a day, said spokeswoman Shannon Haber. San Luis Coastal, with 7,500 students, gave out 30,000 meals a week at the height of the pandemic, nearly triple the number before. The district includes the wealthy city of San Luis Obispo and lower-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it was a pipe dream for a long time,” said Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, a longtime advocate for universal free meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backed by over 200 organizations in a coalition called “School Meals for All,” Skinner and other lawmakers pushed for funding in the state budget, seizing the momentum at a time when California is flush with cash. The $262 billion budget provides $54 million for the coming school year, supplementing funding from the Biden administration through June 2022. After that, California will spend $650 million annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re a hungry child, you’re not going to learn well,” said Skinner. “Why should we have to go through a bureaucratic hassle to get a kid fed, when we could just have universal meals?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Education Committee Republicans supported the plan as a way to help families struggling with California’s high cost of living. State Sen. Brian Dahle, a Republican from a largely rural area of Northern California, said he had watched kids at his children’s school steal leftover food when cafeteria workers weren’t looking.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“For a lot of them that was their dinner and they were sneaking it or taking it off someone’s plate when they didn’t finish it,” said Dahle.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools rarely turn hungry kids away.

But until recently, statewide universal meal programs were considered too costly and unrealistic. California became the first state to adopt a universal program late last month, and Maine followed shortly after with a similar plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’ve completely leveled the playing field when it comes to school food,” Primer said.

The caps shift annually but are based on federal poverty measures that don’t take into account the high cost of living and taxes in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“So it’s just for the most poor families, and not even all of them because some people failed to sign up or were fearful to sign up,” said Kat Taylor, a philanthropist and major funder of the Center for Ecoliteracy and the TomKat Ranch that backed California’s plan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>About 60% of California students qualify, but experts say the number of children who need food assistance is much higher in a state with vast income inequality. Communities of color are disproportionately affected and immigrant communities in particular are fearful of applying because of detailed forms that ask intrusive questions such as their family income, Social Security number and children’s immigration status.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Schools reported a declining percentage of families applying for free and reduced-price meals during the Trump administration, which attempted to tighten immigration policies and public benefits.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like school officials statewide, Primer has countless tales of children who struggled to pay for school meals or were too ashamed to eat for free. There was the child whose mother called Primer, distraught because she made a few hundred dollars too much to qualify; the father who is in the country illegally and feared that filling out the free meal application could get him deported; and constant cases of high schoolers not wanting friends to know they need free food, so they skip eating.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>When the pandemic hit, it changed everything — including how school meals were served — and provided an impetus for the universal program, which had bipartisan, unanimous support. Lawmakers previously had only pursued targeted bills such as easing school lunch debt.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After schools shut in March 2020, many transformed their parking lots into pickup sites, and federal funding allowed schools to offer meals to anyone. There were no applications, qualifications and no questions asked.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The massive turnout showed how much families rely on the meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Los Angeles Unified School District, the state’s largest with 600,000 students, handed out upward of 400,000 meals a day, said spokeswoman Shannon Haber. San Luis Coastal, with 7,500 students, gave out 30,000 meals a week at the height of the pandemic, nearly triple the number before. The district includes the wealthy city of San Luis Obispo and lower-income areas.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I thought it was a pipe dream for a long time,” said Sen. Nancy Skinner, D-Berkeley, a longtime advocate for universal free meals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Backed by over 200 organizations in a coalition called “School Meals for All,” Skinner and other lawmakers pushed for funding in the state budget, seizing the momentum at a time when California is flush with cash. The $262 billion budget provides $54 million for the coming school year, supplementing funding from the Biden administration through June 2022. After that, California will spend $650 million annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“If you’re a hungry child, you’re not going to learn well,” said Skinner. “Why should we have to go through a bureaucratic hassle to get a kid fed, when we could just have universal meals?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Senate Education Committee Republicans supported the plan as a way to help families struggling with California’s high cost of living. State Sen.
