Pumpkin Spice Season has arrived but how do we live, laugh and love in these times? Headed into the holiday weekend, Yosemite National Park, Bass Lake and Shaver Lake will be open despite closures of national forests statewide. Clearing up some rumors about Afghanistan. Photos circulating of dogs left at the airport in Kabul were not military working dogs but instead animals from the Kabul Small Animal Rescue, an organization founded by American, Charlotte Maxwell-Jones, in 2018. Video shared online that claimed the Taliban used an American Blackhawk helicopter to conduct a public hanging was in fact a Taliban fighter in a harness trying to affix a flag to a building, unsuccessfully. According to the San Juan Unified School District, 29 students are stuck in Afghanistan following withdrawal of the last US troops earlier in the week.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're joined by Tamika L'Ecluse, board member of the American River Flood Control District, and rising star on Sacramento's "Squad." In 1862, California governor Leland Stanford was forced to take a rowboat to his inauguration due to flooding from the American and Sacramento rivers. Over the following 158 years, city and county leaders have made it a priority to ensure that the people of Sacramento were protected by robust levees.   That's where the American River Flood Control District comes in.   We talk with L'Ecluse about this year's election, in which two people will be chosen to ensure that the levees are safe and that the riverfront is accessible for enjoyment.   Oh, and did we mention that one of her opponents is America's landlord,  Steve Maviglio? He made national headlines over the summer due to his comically tone-deaf response to a man in Washington, DC who had helped shelter demonstrators who were fleeing police violence.   But the gaffes don't stop there.   Last month the Sacramento Latino Democratic Club held candidate interviews, in which both candidates took part. After the LDC voted to endorse L'Ecluse, however, Maviglio responded with a childish Facebook comment, calling them "Very Trump like (sic)."   He later edited the comment, but never apologized. You can read the thread here.    We also discuss the Take the Pledge initiative, which is encouraging political candidates to vow to take no contributions from law enforcement. L'Ecluse signed on, along with Councilmember-elect Katie Valenzuela, Sacramento City Council District 8 candidate Mai Vang and San Juan Unified School District board member Zima Creason.   Thanks for listening, defund the police and, as always:   Patreon: patreon.com/voicesrivercity Twitter: @youknowkempa, @guillotine4you, @ShanNDSTevens, @Flojaune And thank you to Be Brave Bold Robot for the tunes.

Providing a safe place for students to learn with the challenges of COVID-19, in addition to the recent civil unrest, has fueled an examination of equitable policies, curriculum, and considerations for how we can ensure all students have an equal opportunity to succeed. In this podcast, we had a chance to explore this issue with two highly respected equity leaders who share how they are pursuing real and lasting equitable transformation within their districts. Shomari Jones, the director of equity and strategic engagement, for the Bellevue School District in Bellevue, Washington, shared his vast insight and experience. Bellevue School District is a large, multicultural district on the outskirts of Seattle with a highly diverse student population. Shomari is charged with researching, analyzing, developing initiatives, and coordinating strategies to ensure each and every student has an opportunity to succeed at Bellevue School District. He was recently recognized as a Leader to Learn From by Education Week. Diana Marshall, the director of equity and student achievement, for San Juan Unified School District in Carmichael, California, provided her passionate and unique perspective. San Juan Unified School District is a large, diverse district sprawling throughout 75-square miles in northern California. She oversees several projects and initiatives throughout her district to mentor specific populations of students, establish cultural proficiency training for employees, increase student voice and advocacy, and to create positive school climate for all students. She also leads the Equity Task Force and facilitates the Equity Community Collaborative. This episode is chock-full of applicable strategies that education leaders can apply within their districts to embrace equity transformation to impact lasting change.

Many dream of combining the principles of unschooling with the resources of public school — and Gabe Cooper is one of those few who has actually done it. In this episode Gabe discusses “Unschool” (sanjuan.edu/unschool), the program he founded in the San Juan Unified School District of Sacramento, California. We talk about his disillusionment as a public school teacher and administrator, what inspired him to start Unschool, his victories and challenges so far, his commitment to equity via public education, and his plan for keeping Unschool alive in the future. Gabe also offers practical advice for other public school teachers who want to convince their own school districts to approve such an initiative.
