The district is working toward making sure that no students in the community go hungry when schools close for the summer. More than 440,603 students in LAUSD qualify for free or reduced-price meals during the school year, but many lack nourishment when the school year ends. The Summer Food Service Program ensures that all children continue to benefit during the summer from good nutrition. “Students who are eligible for free or reduced-price meals often go hungry during vacations to the detriment of their health,” said Dr. Thelma Melendez de Santa Ana, CEO of the LAUSD’s Office of Educational Services. “This summer, youngsters may get nutritious meals at no charge at more than 450 locations. They will benefit immediately, and also be ready to learn when they go back to school.” The Food Services Division, in collaboration with the afterschool Beyond the Bell branch will operate the summer food program at 341 sites, including Fairfax High School, Los Angeles High School, Los Angeles Elementary, Selma Elementary, and hundreds more. Anyone between the ages of 1 and 18 may receive free meals. LAUSD also is partnering with the city of Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks to provide meals for 106 sites. Additionally, the District is partnering with the YMCA of the Metropolitan Los Angeles “Get Summer” initiative to provide meals to participating children at selected locations. At the majority of participating schools, the summer program runs from June 20 through July 29. Depending on participation, the program may be extended at select schools.

The bill now goes to the state Assembly committees for considera- tion this week. The bill will establish a “Teacher Bill of Rights” to ensure that California’s 300,000 teachers are made aware of their fundamental rights so they can provide an exceptional educational experience for the state’s 6.2 million K-12 students. The bill will also help address the state’s teacher shortage crisis. “Teachers are the state’s and nation’s unsung heroes and we should do everything we can to ensure their success in the classroom because our children’s future depends on it,” Mendoza said. “A ‘Teacher Bill of Rights’ conspicuous- ly posted in every classroom and at every school site will ensure that every school district is held accountable for providing necessary support for its teachers and the students they serve.” Mendoza said California’s teacher shortage crisis is not the result of just one factor, but a culmination of many, including low salaries, unhealthy school environments and lack of appreciation for the profession. In the last decade, there was a 70 percent drop in people training to become classroom teachers. Last year, 22,000 credentialed teachers were needed, but only 15,000 new fully-credentialed teachers entered the profession. As a consequence, California has one of the highest student-teacher ratios in the nation. The gap became wider during the economic downturn due to teacher lay- offs. As of 2013, the state’s student- teacher ratio reached 24-to-1, compared to the national average of 16- to-1. The “Teacher Bill of Rights” would include the following ten principles: a safe and healthy school environment: a principal as a master teacher to help lead and prepare teachers; access to basic school supplies, a sufficient number of books and technology; the ability to provide input on curriculum; freedom to teach what is best for pupils, including the use of realia; adequate class sizes that allow teachers time to focus on every pupil; competitive salaries and benefits; access to quality profes- sional development opportunities; evaluations that are fair, balanced and accurate; and strict adherence to due process when being disciplined by the principal or school district. 8 June 9, 2016 Park Labrea News/Beverly Press

New legislation seeks to change the CPUC’s responsibilities Assemblyman Mike Gatto’s (D- Los Angeles) proposed constitutional amendment, ACA 11, to restructure California’s regulatory agencies, passed the Assembly by a 61- 9 vote. The measure will reform and modernize the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), reassign regu- lation of industries unrelated to the CPUC’s core functions to more appropriate state bodies, and provide greater accountability to Californians. “The CPUC is spread too thin and has too many issues within its juris- diction,” Gatto said. “It is time to make the commission more focused, specialized and accountable.” The CPUC has been criticized for the way it handled investigations of the San Bruno gas line explosion and the San Onofre Nuclear Generating Station settlement agreement. The recent gas well leak in Aliso Canyon, which displaced thousands of residents in Porter Ranch, Granada Hills and surrounding communities and resulted in over 87,000 metric tons of methane being pumped into the air, has reinvigorated concerns that the CPUC has too much responsibility. Most recently, there have been an alarming number of train fatalities in the Bay Area, which is another area the CPCU regulates. Californians are hesitant to trust that CPUC regulators are able to properly exercise oversight of utilities or act decisively to protect communities under the current system, which cannot be changed without this initiative, Gatto said. “ACA 11 will be the first step in making sure that, no matter where you live in California, you can sleep safely at night knowing that a gas line won’t explode and that necessary protections have been put in place so that our electrical infrastructure is safe and reliable and not subject to risks from terrorist attacks to cyber mischief,” Gatto added. The measure will now be considered by the Senate. Park Labrea News/Beverly Press 9 June 9, 2016

Manhattan House has connected with Growing Great, an organization that works with elementary schools across LA to plant gardens. Chef D visits these local elementary schools and discusses healthy eating habits. She and the students harvest herbs, fruit and vegetables from the school garden and come back to Manhattan House to cook in the kitchen. The parents of the students come and enjoy the organ- ic dish that the students conceptual- ize and create. If it’s a winner, it is featured on the Manhattan House menu for an entire month. Recently, I brought my family to the Manhattan House for Sunday brunch. A colorful mural of the Manhattan skyline gives the restaurant a New York-Manhattan Beach fusion vibe. My favorite is a mural of a girl in a pink bikini riding a bike and carrying a surfboard in front of a New York background. It offers a whimsical fusion of both Manhattans on each coast.
