SAN DIEGO (KGVT) - For many students across California, school is either back in session or will start soon in a virtual setting.With uncertainty about what the school year will look like for all children, the parents of students identified as needing special education services are raising serious concerns about their child’s access to necessary supports and resources."Right now, school is virtual," said Sally Sachrison. "It’s been quite a challenge".Sachrison's 12-year-old son just started the 7th grade. That's an achievement, but the emotions she's feeling are not the typical excitement of going back to school."It's just overwhelming because distance learning doesn't always work for everybody, and I feel like they have abandoned our kids that really the special services," Sachrison said.Her son has Down syndrome and is autistic. His unique needs can’t be met over a computer, Sachrison said.“The conflict is that my son needs like a special education teacher, he needs a speech pathologist, he needs an occupational therapist, and these are specialized, trained professionals," she explained.Sachrison said she’s already noticed her child regressing just since schools moved to remote learning in mid-March to prevent the spread of COVID-19. By May, he was slurring his speech and having trouble with other tasks, she described.Regression and lack of services are a concern heard by attorney's and advocates from parents across the state."How do you take a parent and say hey we're going to train you to do occupational therapy even though you're not licensed to do it?” said Nicole Shelton, the executive director of Advocacy Associates Inc. "You don't have that background and still have that done virtually."Advocacy Associates Inc. is an origination that helps families of students with specials needs get the services to which they are entitled by law.In California, once a child is found eligible for special education, the family will participate in the process by attending an individualized education program or IEP.It's both a process and a written document.Shelton explained the IEP team, which includes representatives from the school and district, meets once every three years to conduct an assessment to ensure the student still qualifies. The team must also meet annually to review progress on goals, create new goals, and see what accommodations the student needs.She said parents are concerned that won't happen."I think it's important for parents to be requesting IEP meetings right now," Shelton said.There are also concerns about services not being provided and compensating students if they've regressed because they weren't provided with appropriate services and support."I think parents absolutely need the first step to be asking for that emergency IEP," she said. "We need to talk about services, and we need to talk about accommodation."In Sachrison's case, the district told 10News, "Providing equitable educational experiences to all students including students with disabilities is a key priority for us and we want the service you receive to reflect that principle. Due to the current school closure emergency that prevents in-person instruction, student Individualized Education Plans will be implemented through distance learning to the greatest extent practical via online resources and other means. The IEP will be provided by means of ‘distance learning’, as determined by your child's teachers, in light of the emergency circumstances."A district spokesperson explained, “‘Distance learning’ means instruction in which the pupil and instructor are in different locations. ‘Distance learning’ may include, but is not limited to, all of the following: (1) Interaction, instruction, and check-ins between teachers and pupils through the use of a computer or communications technology. (2) Video or audio instruction in which the primary mode of communication between the pupil and certificated employee is online interaction, instructional television, video, tele-courses, or other instruction that relies on computer or communications technology. (3) The use of print materials incorporating assignments that are the subject of written or oral feedback. This applies to the special education and related services in the IEP to the greatest extent possible in light of the emergency circumstances. Under current public health and CDE guidelines we cannot provide services either at the school, or in person, for more than 10 days due to the qualifying state of emergency. The parent will be notified as to the specific means by which the student's IEP will be provided, given the emergency circumstances present at that time. The IEP will be provided by alternative means as necessitated during the period of emergency conditions only."The district said IEP meetings are being scheduled to take place virtually and it is dependent upon the IEP team to determine whether new goals will be developed on an individual basis.When asked how the district plans to handle learning regression from the spring and forward and whether the state has provided any guidance a spokesperson explained, "When ‘regular’ school hours resume there will certainly be a need to discuss each students' services since distance learning falls short of providing optimal outcomes. At that time students with disabilities, in addition to ALL students in the general education setting, will have to undergo some form of instructional/educational recuperation. Our district is currently considering multiple options to meet this need."A spokesperson for the California Department of Education said students who are receiving special education services through their school district have an IEP and the services and/or accommodations they receive are listed in that IEP."The federal government has not waived the federal requirements under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA) and local educational agencies (LEA) should adhere to IDEA requirements. In the upcoming school year, local educational agencies in consultation with their local health agency may offer in-person instruction, distance learning, or a combination of both. Section 43503(b)(4) specifies that distance learning shall include "Special education, related services, and any other services required by a pupil's individualized education program pursuant to Section 56341, including the requirements of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (9) of subdivision (a) of Section 56345, with accommodations necessary to ensure that individualized education programs can be executed in a distance learning environment." 6617

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — A federal judge in San Francisco is mulling the competency to stand trial of a Mexican man who shot and killed 32-year-old Kate Steinle. The 2015 shooting figured prominently in President Donald Trump’s run for the White House four years ago. The case against Jose Ines Garcia Zarate on federal gun charges has been pending since a judge raised “serious concerns” about Garcia Zarate's mental capacities back in January. Two doctors have diagnosed Garcia Zarate with schizophrenia and found him unfit to stand trial. The San Francisco Examiner reports that Garcia Zarate told the court Friday through a Spanish interpreter that he wanted to be sentenced to prison or deported back to Mexico. 720

SAN DIEGO (KGTV)-- It's been more than a year since the first legal cannabis transaction took place in the City of San Diego. Marijuana industry professionals gave members of the City Council an update on revenue, but also pushed for updated laws.The City if San Diego found out that going green generated green. Since San Diego voters approved of Measure N or the Cannabis Business Tax in 2016, the City’s general fund has increased by .3 million. It's the culmination of a 5% tax from the 14 legal pot shops within the city in 2018.Dallin Young with the Association of Cannabis professionals also updated Council members that crime numbers around marijuana establishments are close to none. However, Young also expressed the industry's hopes for updated city rules. He said the permits are a massive hurdle for pot shop operators. As it stands now, both public retailers and harvesting facilities are only permitted in areas one thousand feet from parks, schools, and churches, 100 feet away from residential areas, and they must be in industrial zones. “Those properties are a little more expensive, they’re off the beaten path, and there are not many available," Young said. Because of these strict rules, Young said future operators struggle to open. More people are applying for permits than what the city has made available. He said the supply and demand for marijuana facilities in the city of San Diego do not align. “We’re just asking for this business and industry to be treated like any other business when it comes to commercial sales," Young said.The industry is also asking the city to consider a place for customers to use their products. Now, people can only smoke pot products if they own their home, or if their lease allows for pot smoking. That is why Young is suggesting the city to approve the opening of a pot version of a hookah bar.“[We are asking for] Consumption at these retail locations or a separate use like a cigar bar or more like a tasting room for a brewery,” Young said.Lastly, Young is hoping the city extends the operating hours for pot shops to match the State's. Currently, the city only allows pot shops to operate between 7 am and 9 pm. The State of California allows for sales between 6 am and 9 pm.“We want to make sure that this industry is thriving and it does well. So if it’s one extra hour, that’d be great," Young said. Young understands that changing rules for a new industry is not easy. But he is hopeful with small changes, it will shift the industry away from illegal sales."I think a lot of people would rather go to a licensed facility than to someone down the street," Young said. 2650

SAN DIEGO, Calif. — For months, we’ve seen face masks in places they shouldn’t be: storm drains, streets, beaches, and parks.Now, we’re learning just how many could be flooding our oceans.“Once plastic enters the marine environment, it’s very difficult to move," said Dr. Teale Phelps Bondaroff, director of research for OceansAsia. The marine conservation group has been tracking the number of face masks washing up on a remote island south of Hong Kong since the pandemic started. “About six weeks after COVID hit Hong Kong, so late February, we began finding masks, and lots of masks," said Bondaroff. “What’s remarkable is we weren’t finding face masks before COVID.”Masks are made with polypropylene, which Bondaroff describes as thin fibers of plastic."The fact that we are starting to find masks that are breaking up indicates that this is a real problem, that microplastics are being produced by masks," he said.These tiny pieces of plastic can remain in the ocean for hundreds of years, threatening fish and even polluting the air.“The question that we couldn’t answer was how many are entering our oceans? We just didn’t know," said Dr. Bondaroff. OceansAsia launched a study to find the answer and recently shared its findings. Of the estimated 52 billion masks manufactured globally in 2020, it's believed 1.56 billion will enter our oceans this year, resulting in an additional 4,680 to 6,240 metric tonnes of marine plastic pollutionBondaroff says the report used a conservative loss rate of 3 percent, and the average weight of 3 to 4 grams for a single-use polypropylene surgical face mask, to arrive at the estimate.“The 1.56 billion face masks that have entered our oceans in 2020 are there for the long run. They will remain in the ocean for 450 years or more, and they’ll break into smaller pieces.”The report notes global sales of face masks surged from around 0 million in 2019 to 6 billion in 2020.“That’s important, we need to keep people safe, but at the same time that has a lasting impact on our environment, and we’re seeing that on the beaches," said Bondaroff. And he says, unfortunately, this problem makes up only a small fraction of the plastic pollution invading our oceans.The report asks people to wear reusable masks whenever possible, dispose of masks responsibly and reduce their overall consumption of single-use plastic. It also calls on governments to:Implement policies designed to encourage the use of reusable masks, such as releasing guidelines regarding the proper manufacture and use of reusable masks.Foster innovation and the development of sustainable alternatives to single-use plastic masks.Discourage littering by increasing fines, and educate the public about responsible ways to dispose of masks.Repair and improve waste management systems to reduce losses and spillage. 2840
