These people support me, and I want to support these people.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>A Practical and Philosophical Set of Demands\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The students drafted up specific demands, such as more resources for the Title IX office handling misconduct complaints, expanded consent education and policies stating that perpetrators found to be guilty by the school would be suspended from school-sanctioned events. They wanted to create a culture where victims could heal, and for the school to continue the conversation long after they had graduated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Superintendent Brent Stephens had begun working for the district less than a year before the walkout, and he said many of the students' requests were practical, and that change felt necessary. There had also been high turnover in the district's Title IX coordinator role, with at least six different people working in that position from 2015 to 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students, he said, had done their homework, and met with teachers, staff and adult advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And so when they came with a set of demands, they were sort of philosophical in nature, but they were very pragmatic as well,\" Stephens said. \"It was ... a political moment, but it resonated with what I and many others saw as legitimate needs of the district.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Conversation Continues Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Just weeks after the walkout, schools shut down because of COVID-19.

This is already messing with my mental health.

She said administrators also informed police and Child Protective Services about the account and specific allegations that could be traced to any students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The account has since been removed, and now students who participated in the walkout are hoping some of the cultural shifts inspired by their organizing will last when the pandemic is over.\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>District Announces Changes, and the Culture Begins to Shift\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Ultraviolet Schneider-Dwyer, a senior at Berkeley High, said that before the walkout a lot of the incidents of harassment and assault occurred during parties where young people were too intoxicated to consent. She's hopeful her peers will no longer tolerate that culture after so many students shared their experiences of abuse.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There will be more social consequences than there are administrative or academically,” she said. “At the same time, I’m just making sure that they’re not doing it out of fear of not being accepted, but they’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now, Mia Redmond is a part of a committee to give students a chance to provide the school with input on issues like harassment and consent education. She feels like the district is taking students’ demands seriously. She’s graduating this year and plans to continue her advocacy after high school. And she said it will be up to future generations of Berkeley High students as well as administrators to make sure the changes she and others started will last.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I can’t say for certain whether [the walkout] changed the culture at Berkeley High, but it definitely brought up a conversation that wasn’t being had before,” Redmond said. “It was such a monumental thing in Berkeley High history that everyone who experienced it, they’re not going to forget about it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>\u003ca href=\"https://revealnews.org/podcast/protecting-kids-from-abuse/\">This story\u003c/a> was reported in collaboration with Reveal from The Center for Investigative Reporting and PRX.

They wanted to create a culture where victims could heal, and for the school to continue the conversation long after they had graduated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Superintendent Brent Stephens had begun working for the district less than a year before the walkout, and he said many of the students' requests were practical, and that change felt necessary. There had also been high turnover in the district's Title IX coordinator role, with at least six different people working in that position from 2015 to 2020.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The students, he said, had done their homework, and met with teachers, staff and adult advocates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"And so when they came with a set of demands, they were sort of philosophical in nature, but they were very pragmatic as well,\" Stephens said. \"It was ... a political moment, but it resonated with what I and many others saw as legitimate needs of the district.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>The Conversation Continues Online\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>Just weeks after the walkout, schools shut down because of COVID-19.

Like a lot of big public high schools across the country, Berkeley High wanted to close that gap.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So the school started creating the learning communities in 2003. The small schools were designed to offer more personalized support and appeal to students who learn differently. The three remaining small schools, CAS, AHA, and AMPS, are \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/hs/cpagen.asp\">California Partnership Academies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These schools are popular choices with students of color because they graduate and get into college at higher rates than in the rest of the county's schools.

What does a really wide body of research and design tell us will work best to serve all students well?” Friedman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The design team is hoping that its proposals -- which are due in the spring of 2016 -- will help unify the Berkeley High student body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the Black Student Union has been working to make sure black students feel safe and comfortable on campus. The group organized a communal day of self-affirmation on Dec. 9 that was called the Sankofa Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The assembly was for those who were targeted by the hate crime. The rest of the students were in their normal classes, where they took part in the special curriculum on race and racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire student body came together at the end of the day for an all-school assembly. A panel of students from the Black Student Union answered questions from their non-black peers such as, \"Who can be racist?\" and \"When do you use black v. African-American?\" and \"How is touching a black person's hair racism?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As for the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/11/13/how-berkeley-high-identified-student-involved-in-racist-incident\">student who posted the threats\u003c/a>, Berkeley High and the Berkeley Police Department have concluded that the student does not have the intention or the capability to harm anyone.

The small schools were designed to offer more personalized support and appeal to students who learn differently. The three remaining small schools, CAS, AHA, and AMPS, are \u003ca href=\"http://www.cde.ca.gov/ci/gs/hs/cpagen.asp\">California Partnership Academies\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>These schools are popular choices with students of color because they graduate and get into college at higher rates than in the rest of the county's schools. The small-school environment also appeals to parents who are worried about their students getting lost in a big school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For students like junior Alaina Lee, this environment really works.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"My first-period class is a Spanish class. We have [many races] in there. My teacher, she’s mixed, half the students are mixed -- I’m an African-American women. [In the smaller schools], it is more diverse than just one big school and we have a community that’s just a family,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of white and Asian students migrated into AC in 2003 and BIHS after it was created in 2006. AC offers the widest range of classes, and BIHS is an authorized International Baccalaureate school.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Harger, a sophomore in AC, says she can't help but notice the racial breakdown in her classes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"Every day coming to school, blackness is tiring … I wish that just for a day I could come to school and … be able to just sit in a classroom without having to handle all of the prejudice that’s within our school and all of the discrimination and just be able to learn like the average student,\" she says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Kaylah Grisby, a junior in BIHS, says she notices the breakdown as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“In many of my classes I’m the only black kid or maybe one of three, at most,” says Grisby. She wishes her program could have what the smaller schools have. “There’s 20 black kids in a class. You guys have a bond and a family and a community, while us three are struggling to get by.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>New Approach to Achievement Gap?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Berkeley High is currently trying to find a better solution to addressing the achievement gap. It has a design team of teacher leaders looking into the current school structure.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This team is studying how to provide equitable outcomes for all students regardless of their race, ethnicity or socioeconomic background, says Tamara Friedman, a co-leader of the team.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We’re in the early stages of really looking at Berkeley High School and saying this is our goal. What does a really wide body of research and design tell us will work best to serve all students well?” Friedman says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The design team is hoping that its proposals -- which are due in the spring of 2016 -- will help unify the Berkeley High student body.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the meantime, the Black Student Union has been working to make sure black students feel safe and comfortable on campus. The group organized a communal day of self-affirmation on Dec. 9 that was called the Sankofa Assembly.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The assembly was for those who were targeted by the hate crime. The rest of the students were in their normal classes, where they took part in the special curriculum on race and racism.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The entire student body came together at the end of the day for an all-school assembly. A panel of students from the Black Student Union answered questions from their non-black peers such as, \"Who can be racist?\" and \"When do you use black v. African-American?\" and \"How is touching a black person's hair racism?\"\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\u003cp>As for the \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/news/2015/11/13/how-berkeley-high-identified-student-involved-in-racist-incident\">student who posted the threats\u003c/a>, Berkeley High and the Berkeley Police Department have concluded that the student does not have the intention or the capability to harm anyone.
