SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Some local colleges are shifting toward a new policy of getting rid of standardized test scores as an admissions requirement.The University of San Diego is one of 60 other colleges, including local Cal State and University of California campuses, now using the "test blind" policy amid a pandemic-altered high school experience and education.The SAT has been something on Laila Ellyse's mind for some time now. She says part of her concern recently has been COVID-19-related restrictions on testing group sizes."You've been hearing about it for such a long time you have to take the SAT, it's like this big bad test," Ellyse said. "The number of seats available at any given test site is now reduced because of social distancing and all of those kinds of things." Ellyse says she had to go all the way to Utah to take the test because there were no testing site options in California. Standardized testing has also become increasingly debate following the nationwide college admissions scandal, in which several parents were charged with paying to get their kids admitted to top tier colleges.That's part of the reason USD is now a test blind campus. While SAT or ACT scores can be admitted, they'll be ignored for admission. Instead, college officials will consider other factors including high school academic record and GPA, letters of recommendation, admission essays, extra-curricular involvement, work experiences, and family responsibilities.USD says it hopes the new policy will make the admissions process fair and equitable for all students and allow lower-income students who may face barriers to accessing testing an even playing field.The test blind policy may not be permanent though. UCSD is test-optional until 2022 and test blind until 2024. San Diego State and local CSU campuses are test blind for 2021 only at the moment. 1868
SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Small businesses trying to stay afloat amid coronavirus restrictions can apply for up to million in forgivable low-interest loans to help them get by. The Federal Small Business Administration has opened its application site for businesses with fewer than 500 employees to apply for the loans, which would have an interest rate of no more than 4 percent. The loans are part of the stimulus package Congress and the President authorized last week. They are meant to help small businesses maintain payroll and meet essential obligations like rent, mortgages and utilities at a time social distancing has eliminated most consumer spending. RELATED: Coronavirus aid: How to help your neighborsIf an employer uses the money as intended, the government says it will forgive the loans."Forgiveness is based on the employer maintaining or quickly rehiring employees and maintaining salary levels," according to the Small Business Administration. "Forgiveness will be reduced if full-time headcount declines, or if salaries and wages decrease."Kelly DuFord Williams, a managing partner at Slate Law Group, says this is an unprecedented opportunity for small businesses, given the low interest loan offer and six months of deferred payments. RELATED: WE'RE OPEN SAN DIEGO: Search open businesses"Small businesses employ a lot of people, especially in San Diego, with such a big entrepreneur community, and the last thing they want is all of us turning off our lights and doing mass layoffs just because of temporary circumstances," Williams said. Jennifer Byard, who owns Communal Coffee in North Park and South Park, said her sales have dropped 75 percent and that she has had to reduce her employees from 22 to eight. Byard plans to take out at least 0,000 to make it through.RELATED: IRS: Distribution of economic impact payments will begin in the next three weeks"I think it's really important for me to have some backup funds right now to be able to reopen, to be able to keep my employees, to pay them more," said Byard, whose shop is now doing takeout only during the day while offering pizza and salad in the evening.

"We need to have roads as well."RELATED: County Supervisors speak out against SANDAG mass transit planOne sticking point is how to use money from the TransNet Tax.

The rest comes from other federal, state and local funds.SANDAG Director Hasan Ikhrata defends his decision to emphasize transit. He says the County needs to hit specific benchmarks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to get more funding."If we are to sustain ourselves and preserve our quality of life, we need to provide our residents with an alternative," he says. "We can't build our way out of congestion. I think this will put the agency in legal jeopardy.""Freeway widenings are terrible for the environment.

SAN DIEGO (KGTV) -- Several San Diegans are facing charges for reportedly participating in a college admissions scheme. One of the people accused in the scheme is Toby MacFarlane, who was a senior executive at an insurance company living in Del Mar, according to the indictment.

Secondly, the organization allegedly bribed college coaches to help admit the students into college as recruited athletes, regardless of their actual ability, prosecutors said.CNN contributed to this report. 2604
