Look out Alta California, ’cause there’s another online media presence in the San Francisco Bay Area.
“California Watch, a nonprofit and independent investigative reporting team, exposes injustice, waste, mismanagement, wrongdoing, questionable practices, and corruption so that those responsible can be held to account and so the public can be armed with the information needed to debate solutions and spark change.”
O.K. then.
Question: Will students play role in the reporting? Oh yes. What will a bunch of college kids from the USC Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism and the Sacramento State University (aka CSU Sacramento) come up with?
Expect good things.
Bon courage, California Watch!

The owner of this BMW laments, “MY DAUGHTER AND MY MONEY GO TO UCSB.” Oh well.
Tuition is going up another 9.3% at University of California campuses, such as Santa Barbara, just in time for summer session. Oh well.

A new program, Student Emergency Response Volunteers (SERV), is being put forth as an alternative to Junior Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (JROTC) in San Francisco Schools.
Per Jane Kim, via Fog City Journal:
“Commissioners [Norman] Yee and I proposed this program so students can create emergency disaster plans for their families. They will learn CPR, first aid, and HAMM radio skills.”
Per popular District One Supervisorial candidate Eric Mar:
“This is a great example of real leadership opportunities we can provide to high school students to replace the military-run JROTC program as it is phased out.”
Eric Mar and Jane Kim speaking out yesterday.
JROTC remains popular with many parents – maybe they’ll see SERV as a viable alternative?

Well the election is almost here, so it’s time to meet San Francisco Board of Education Candidate Emily Murase. The scene below is from one of her recent events in the Sunset.
From another event on the same day, per San Francisco FYI Net:
“Emily Murase talked about addressing the enrollment crisis , closing the achievement gap and ensuring teacher retention and recruitment. Emily is obvious a planner, who researches her issues carefully and wants to help the school system. What a great way to meet a candidate (much more personable than the debate forums). Emily Murase’ house signs say “Kids, first, politics last”.
Emily Murase with supporter Amy Lauer and a youthful Obama fan at yet another house party meet and greet:
Emily has the endorsement of the San Francisco Examiner’s Education Examiner, Caroline Grannan as well as a gamut of local pols, including Congresswoman Jackie Speier, Senators Leland Yee and Carole Migden, Mayor Gavin Newsom, District Attorney Kamala Harris and Public Defender Jeff Adachi.
See you on election day.
