Training shouldn’t be a precedence for San Francisco Unified College Board, says recall chief Siva Raj

Sun, 16 Jan 2022 05:20:32 +0000

Ritu Jha-

Siva Raj, an Indian-American father of two, faced a difficult decision when the pandemic hit in 2020: rebuild his start-up business that fell victim to COVID-19, or face the sudden downfalls of his children to focus on prolonged school closures; he chose the latter.

That decision all these months ago has resulted in Raj, a data scientist by training, taking on the Herculean task today of recalling the board members of the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD).

Only speak to shows, Raj [Above with his children]expressed surprise and concern that the board was more focused on changing school names for political expediency than on ensuring better educational outcomes in a desperate situation.

There’s nothing wrong with changing names, he said, but is this the right time to do so when parents and students are grappling with the pandemic and its impact on education? Furthermore, the process was superficial and flawed without involving the community and parents.

“It wasn’t just the wrong time, it was the wrong way,” he said. “With billions of dollars in the school system in one of the wealthiest cities in the world, we’re fighting to get basic rights.”

Siva Raj with Autumn Looijen.

Raj is joined in his campaign by his partner Autumn Looijen. Both had relocated to San Francisco in December 2020 to join the ecosystem the city offers for startups. Both have now shelved their start-up idea in order to use a grassroots campaign to recall the school board.

Solarium told shows, “Siva and I have seen in our own family what a difference it makes to have open schools. My kids were happily studying personally down on the peninsula while he was stuck at home, depressed and falling behind. It was deeply unfair.

“Siva’s children are my children too and it was heartbreaking to see them fight,” she said.

The voting decision will be made on February 15; Postal ballots begin January 17. Three San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) board members were named in the special election: Gabriela López, Faauuga Moliga, and Alison Collins. According to the city’s elections office, more than 500,000 mail-in ballot packages are on the way and voters should expect them starting this week.

As to why only three are named in the recall election, Looijen said: “When we started recalling, only 3 members were eligible for recall – you have to wait 6 months after they were sworn in (in this case it would have meant waiting until July).”

Both Raj and Looijen believe the recall is important because every kid in San Francisco deserves a top-notch education — and that’s not going to happen with this board.

“This school board is letting kids fall behind during Zoom school and has no plan to help them catch up,” Looijen said. “They didn’t spend the money wisely and evicted families, and now they’ve taken $125 million out of our budgets. They treat parents like enemies when we all want the best for our children.

“It will take more than the recall to get our schools back on track – but getting better guidance is a crucial first step,” she added.

Raj said the deteriorating system at SFUSD was not due to a lack of money or talent, but rather a lack of political will. “For us, it’s been a real learning in terms of understanding why it’s happening. I’ve never bothered with politics in the past and lived here (San Francisco) for work,” he said.

Raj, who came to the US in 2010, initially lived in New York before moving to California to start a business. Before the pandemic hit, he worked in tech healthcare, selling specialty bikes to health clubs and gyms.

He worked with Looijen, a software developer, on another start-up and experimented with some ideas and apps to start a business until they decided to call it back.

Raj believes SFUSD stayed closed because he had no plan to reopen. Private schools reopened in 2020, as did schools in the Bay Area and Los Altos. They were ready because they had done the preliminary work in the summer of 2020.

In San Francisco, the school board was supposed to hire a “reopening consultant,” but declined. Raj said even Superintendent Vincent Matthews was furious with the board, saying it made reopening impossible.

When asked if she was with Dr. Matthews, he said they didn’t have direct access to the superintendent. In any case, it is not he who decides, but the school board. The Superintendent’s role is limited to executing the decisions of the Board of Directors.

San Francisco has a very diverse school district. Many of the students had little or no support at home. Some families had to go to work and simply giving a laptop was the starting point.

“I was lucky that I was home and able to supervise my kids and make sure they were on Zoom,” Raj said. “There were Wi-Fi issues and a lot of work. It was difficult.” The children, who came from disadvantaged families, were simply left behind, he said.

“We realized they just weren’t interested in the schools reopening, so we thought we should do something,” he explained of the reasons for the recall.

SFUSD elementary schools reopened in April last year, while middle and high schools reopened in the current school year in August 2021.

When asked why the recall election was called after schools reopened, Raj gave a number of reasons. “It was a tremendous learning loss for our children,” he said, “and even today, the board is unwilling to acknowledge the learning loss.

“You have to identify children and put in place a plan to help them catch up with their peers or their future is in jeopardy forever.

“What would they (the students) do when they graduate and have no future to look forward to? We can’t allow that,” he said.

School enrollments have fallen due to the prolonged shutdown, he continued, leading to severe budget cuts that could result in staff and teacher cutbacks.

A third major issue is racism on the board. “In March, we discovered that former San Francisco School Board Vice President Alison Collins made anti-Asian tweets that she refused to acknowledge until asked to resign, and then sued SFUSD schools for $87 million, because she said this violated her first edit rights.

“The level of dysfunction happening here at (the SFUSD) is exorbitant,” exclaimed Raj.

He explained why the three board members were chosen: “The three that we remember made bad decisions at every step. Instead of focusing on the students’ education, they focus on all sorts of shenanigans. They are more interested in advancing their political careers.

“They could have apologized and offered corrections, but they took the opposite approach. The children will be badly affected,” he added.

Getting the recall going wasn’t easy considering how difficult it has been to get signatures during the pandemic. Raj, Looijen and their supporters collected personal signatures from April 1st to September 7th. “In San Francisco, we had to submit 51,325 valid signatures to get the recall on the ballot,” Raj said. “We have almost 80,000.”

Last July, the San Francisco Chronicle published an opinion poll showing that 71 percent of San Francisco residents disapproved of the school board and 69 percent of public school parents supported the recall.

Raj has received a wave of support from Mayor London Breed for former California Democratic Party leader John Burton.

“We’re a grassroots organization run mostly by parents and some teachers and people interested in public education,” he said. “We Are Nonpartisan” Nearly 1,000 people volunteered to collect signatures for the recall petition. “We’ve had people standing in grocery stores and farmers markets all over the place,” he added.

Raj was hopeful for the February 15 result. “We have so many crises that need to be resolved,” he said. “We feel safe and we’re out there every weekend talking to people and educating them.”

If all three members are removed, the mayor of the city appoints three new members in their place.

Possibly the first Indian-American to initiate such civic action and become a catalyst for change, Raj said, “This is very important to us. Education is central to Asian Americans, and that’s why so many come to America because we’re educated.”

“Many of us come from poor backgrounds. We are in San Francisco, we have money because of our education and skills, and we want our next generations to have a similar opportunity.”

The campaign was also supported by the Chinese American Democratic Club. “People are united and they feel very strong in this recall election,” Raj said.

California college reopening chief broadcasts run for state legislature: ’12 months of the mother or father’

Fri, 14 Jan 2022 02:17:11 +0000

A California resident who was a key advocate for schools reopening after many learned remotely at the start of the coronavirus pandemic, has announced a candidacy for a seat in the state assembly.

Jonathan Zachreson, founder of Reopen California Schools, announced his candidacy for the 5th Assembly District on Friday after Rep. Kevin Kiley announced he was running for Congress.

Zachreson told Fox News Digital that he is running for the state assembly to make 2022 the “Year of the Parents,” and said there are pressing issues schools are facing that are being ignored by California lawmakers.

“They don’t address the fact that we have more than doubled the rate of chronic absenteeism due to quarantine policies. You know, we have situations where we test unnecessarily and that causes problems and it’s invasive. Schools spend a lot of money on testing and other unnecessary procedures when they could really do things to make up the difference,” Zachreson said.

CALIFORNIA STUDENTS SUFFER ACADEMICALLY DURING COVID-19, NEW REPORT REVEALED

Reopen California Schools, the organization Zachreson founded, is focused on getting California kids back to school five days a week.

Aside from problems with reopening and keeping schools open, Zachreson says unions in California need to be confronted. In some situations, he says, unions negotiate for school districts to pay union administrators’ salaries.

“This has to go,” Zachreson said.

He also said that since California has a Democratic supermajority, making it very difficult for Republicans to pass legislation, another focus will be raising awareness of Republican issues through ballot initiatives and social media campaigns.

“My approach is going to be unconventional and how we’re tackling these issues, try to do whatever it takes to take them directly to the people through electoral initiatives, to lobby for electoral initiatives and to uncover things through social media and media that the just don’t know people,” Zachreson said.

Referring to the recent crime spate in the state’s major cities, Zachreson said criminals need to start being treated like criminals.

“You know, we have to start treating victims like victims and criminals like criminals. We can address the issues that might lead to a life of crime,” Zachreson said.

One measure he supports is repealing Proposition 47, which was passed in 2014 and set the threshold for stealing property at $950, meaning if someone steals goods from a store, their value is below that price lies, this is charged as a misdemeanor.

Zachreson also said he was running a grassroots campaign “by parents and for parents” and didn’t want special interest money.

Tue, 26 Oct 2021 15:05:49 +0000

SAN FRANCISCO – (BUSINESS WIRE) – Grant Thornton LLP, a leading accounting, tax and advisory firm, has appointed Melanie Krygier to lead growth in private equity tax. Krygier, a San Francisco-based partner and head of Grant Thornton’s M&A Tax Services West Coast Practice, will join the private equity leadership team and will focus on assisting private equity clients with mergers and acquisitions (M&A).

“Melanie’s exceptional tax knowledge and long history of helping private equity investors and their portfolio companies through M&A will be incredibly valuable to every client she works with,” said Carlos Ferreira, Grant Thornton’s National Managing Partner of Private Equity. “The private equity space is constantly evolving, and the pandemic has only accelerated that development. This space requires the creative, self-confident and determined leadership that Melanie offers. ”

Krygier has more than 15 years of experience serving public and private companies in a variety of industries. After seven successful years with another national consulting firm, she moved to Grant Thornton in 2013. For almost 10 years she mainly focused on advising on M&A. Specifically, Krygier has carried out due diligence on the buyer and seller side as well as tax structuring and modeling for customers who are considering potential sales, purchases or restructuring.

Krygier has also assisted clients navigating tax-free restructurings, particularly those related to special purpose vehicle (SPAC) transactions. Her in-depth transactional knowledge will be beneficial to companies that need a skilled hand to guide them through the often complex tax implications of a merger or acquisition.

According to a recent M&A survey conducted by Grant Thornton, the surge in SPACs is likely to continue. Additionally, the recent surge in M&A activity could be a catalyst for new challenges, including a new type of earnout dispute. These results show the importance of a skilled executive like Krygier.

“As M&A activity becomes more prevalent, it is critical for any business to get the most value from what can be a very complex and labor-intensive process,” said Rimma Tabakh, executive partner at Grant Thornton’s San Francisco office. “Melanie will provide detailed and reliable guidance at a time when companies need her more than ever.”

“She is an inspiring and highly collaborative professional,” continued Tabakh, “who will nurture all of our team members in San Francisco and be a valuable role model for women in a historically male-dominated space.”

In this new management position, Krygier succeeds Chris Schenkenberg, who, as the national managing partner of Regional Tax Business Lines, has taken on a new role for the firm’s tax leadership team. Krygier earned a bachelor’s degree in accounting from Michigan State University.

“Melanie is a talented and knowledgeable leader with an innate ability to boldly break new ground and have an immediate and lasting impact on professional services,” said Renato Zanichelli, Grant Thornton’s National Managing Partner of Tax Services. “Her track record in delivering powerful business solutions and effective tax strategies makes her the perfect person to lead this team and help our clients succeed.”

San Jose NAACP Chief Leaves For Atlanta, Laments Lack Of Alternatives For Folks Of Colour – CBS San Francisco

Thu, 17 Jun 2021 08:16:07 +0000

SAN JOSE (KPIX 5) – Rev. Jethroe Moore II, a celebrity and civil rights activist in Silicon Valley, left Silicon Valley to start a new life outside of a town he said does not care for people of color .

“We’re not capturing the essence of the blacks or the browns or the people of color culture, so people almost always say they don’t want us here,” said Moore.

The pastor, who has lived in Silicon Valley for almost 50 years, packed his things and moved his family to Atlanta. This meant that Moore, a pillar of the community for civil rights, education, and the Church, was stepping down as president of the San Jose-Silicon Valley NAACP.

“It’s a sad day you know it was hard to go,” he said. “Housing is priceless, the education system is in order and the jobs are no longer as big as they used to be. I need to make sure my children are safe, have the education and the opportunity, and for me as a black person, I don’t see these opportunities to be a focal point for the city of San Jose. “

Moore said he was not only the victim of the Silicon Valley tech boom that praised him, but he also felt that San Jose has failed its black and colored communities to allow them to stay in the region thrive.

“We had clubs, we had restaurants, we had softball teams, we had a lot of things,” he said of life in San Jose when he moved to the city in the 1970s. “All of these things are gone. You can find us to arrest us, but you cannot find us to keep us busy. “

The pastor isn’t the only one who has seen the black population dwindle; make up 3% of the population today, compared to nearly 5% in 1990, according to the US Census Bureau.

“Many of them have moved out over the years,” said Belinda Bush, owner of B-Pizazz Barbershop.

Bush has owned her shop for 30 years and first opened her business in Cupertino before moving to her location in Campbell. But Bush believes Silicon Valley has ousted all races that can’t afford to make it to the tech capital of the region.

“You just can’t afford to live here, that’s what this area is about,” Bush said. “It’s all about the money, it’s all about the money.”

Moore cited examples of San Jose’s failure to help its residents build housing, pay decent salaries, and take care of minorities, particularly the discussion about the development of land used by longtime flea market sellers.
