PAL Charter Academy Travels to Honolulu for EdFest

HONOLULU, HI-Leaders from PAL Char- ter Academy recently traveled over 2,500 miles to attend EdFest, the annual Festival of Education in Honolulu, joining educators from around the world to explore strategies for innovation, leadership, and collaboration. The delegation, which included administrative leadership and one lead teacher, participated in sessions designed to strengthen schools and better serve students.

EdFest is part of a global network of education conferences, including txedFest in San Anto- nio, the Festival of Education in Washington, D.C., and the China Festival of Education in Shanghai. All share a mission to equip educa- tors with tools to navigate today's complex educational landscape. While each conference emphasizes different areas from family en- gagement to instructional practice they are united in inspiring and empowering educators. "Educators from around the world come to- gether to share strategies that directly address the needs of students and schools," said PAL Charter Academy Executive Director Dwaine Radden Sr. He emphasized the value of pro- fessional learning experiences that extend be- yond local or regional boundaries, particularly for schools serving "at-risk or at-promise" stu- dents.

HAWAIIAN VILLAGE WAIKIKI BEACH RESORT

For Head of Schools Brooke Fernandez, the trip offered a unique cultural perspective in ad- dition to professional growth. "Learning in a place like Hawaii reminds us that education is deeply connected to culture, history, and com- munity," she said. Hawaii is a part of the Unit- ed States and became the 50th and most recent state to join the Union on August 21, 1959. Its capital, Honolulu, is located on the island of Oahu.

Hawaii, often seen primarily as a tourist des- tination, is a state of remarkable cultural di- versity and resilience. Home to 1.45 million residents across 137 islands (seven inhabited). the state hosts large Filipino, Japanese, and Chinese populations, along with multiracial, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander commu- nities. An estimated 27,000 to 53,000 Black or African Americans live in Hawaii, account- ing for roughly 2% to 3.7% of the population. More than one-quarter of residents speak a language other than English at home. Despite its natural beauty, Hawaii faces so- cial challenges, including high homelessness rates, particularly among Native Hawaiians and children. Its history includes the 19th-cen- tury exploitation of Asian immigrant laborers on sugar plantations, where harsh conditions and limited protections were common. Today, crime rates are generally lower than the U.S. national average, with violent crimes around 218 per 100,000 residents. Many businesses close early-often between 9 and 10 p.m.- reflecting high energy costs and a lifestyle that prioritizes family time and balance. The islands' rich culture from multicultural cuisine to Jawaiian music blending reggae and Polynesian influences provided the PAL Charter Academy team with context for under- standing education within a broader social and cultural framework.

Reflecting on the experience, Radden quoted Nelson Mandela: "Education is the most pow- erful weapon which you can use to change the world." The trip reinforced the importance of selecting professional learning opportunities that align with a school's mission and values. Though thousands of miles from California, Hawaii's coastal skylines, bustling ports, and global economy offered relevant parallels for PAL Charter Academy's work. By broadening their perspectives through in- ternational collaboration, PAL Charter Acade- my's leadership returned with renewed insight to strengthen their school and better serve stu- dents and families.

SBCUSD's Kimbre Sargent And Angela Quinlan Honored

The SBCUSD Board of Education and Superintendent Mauricio Arellano presented Pacific High School Career-Technical Education Teacher Angela Quinlan with an award at the January 20, 2026, Board meeting in honor of her being named 2025 Biomedical Science Teacher of the Year by the national non-profit Project Lead the Way. (Photo by Corina Borsuk and provided courtesy of SBCUSD)

SAN BERNARDINO, CA---- The San Ber- nardino City Unified School District (SB- CUSD) Board of Education recognized staff members Kimbre Sargent, Director of Cat- egorical Programs, and Angela Quinlan, Pa- cific High School Career-Technical Education and Demonstration Teacher, at the January 20, 2026, Board meeting.

The Board of Education recognized Sargent for being the California Association of Ad- ministrators of State and Federal Education Programs (CAASFEP) 2025 District State & Federal Leader. Sargent, a former SBCUSD principal, was selected by CAASFEP mem- bers based on her exemplary leadership, dedi- cation and impact in implementing and man- aging state and federal education programs at the school district level.

Announced in October 2025 as part of CAAS- FEP's inaugural awards program, the District State & Federal Leader Award recognizes Sar- gent's strong commitment to advancing equi- table and effective state and federal education programs in the service of students, educators and school communities in her role as direc- tor of Categorical Programs. SBCUSD's Cat- egorical Programs department helps monitor and implement District and school budgets and state and federal programs, including the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA) and the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP). The Categorical Programs depart- ment also oversees the School Site Council (SSC), a decision-making body that represents school and community partners at every SB- CUSD campus.

Quinlan was recognized by the Board of Edu- cation for being the National Project Lead the Way (PLTW) Biomedical Science Teacher of the Year. Quinlan was one of just seven teach- ers and administrators nationwide recognized by PLTW for the 2025-2026 school year. PLTW honored her, in part, because "As lead of the Biomedical Pathways [at Pacific], chair of the Biomedical Advisory Board and a TIP mentor, Quinlan empowers students and col- leagues alike with a passion for transforming the future."

• Letter to the Editor
• The Question
• CalMatters Asked About a Lawmaker's Handbag
• --and the One It
• Refused to Answer

By Joe W. Bowers Jr. California Black Media

Since California Black Media was the question CalMatters had (CBM) reported that CalMatters asked Assemblymember Tina McKinnor (D-Inglewood) wheth- er the Louis Vuitton bag she car- ried at a Capitol event was "real or fake," much has been said-just not clearly, or publicly, by CalM- atters.

In the two weeks since the ques- tion and the editorial decision behind it -- sparked backlash and accusations of racial bias, CalMat- ters has issued no public explana- tion or correction. Instead, on Jan- uary 21, it published a story titled "Lobbyists and lawmakers mingle over luxury tequila, shrimp and cigars at capital party." McKinnor was prominently featured, with descriptions of what she drank, who she spoke with, and her vot- ing record. What it didn't mention asked her office just days earlier - one widely condemned as inap- propriate, racialized, and unpro- fessional.

On Facebook, McKinnor wrote about the January 21 story. "In- stead of asking real, substantive questions, you chose to single me out. That's not journalism -- that's a 'gotcha' attempt that missed the mark... Ask real questions. Re- port real news."

Her Facebook followers echoed her frustration. "What a joke of an article," wrote one. "I don't see where they list what everyone was wearing," said another. Oth- ers called the story "selective," "lazy," and "pointless."

California Families and Students Can Celebrate Financial Wellness Month by Claiming Their CalKIDS Scholarship letters, making it an easy first step for families CalKIDS encourages long-term planning and planning ahead.

SACRAMENTO, CA - Financial Wellness Month is a time for families across California to set goals, build healthier money habits, and plan for the year ahead. It's also the perfect moment for parents and guardians to take one simple step that can make a long-term differ- ence for a child's future: claim a CalKIDS Scholarship Account that may already be wait- ing in their name.

CalKIDS is a statewide program that provides automatic scholarship accounts to help Cali- fornia newborns, young children, and eligible public-school students pay for college or ca- reer training. For many families, the schol- arship is already available and just needs to be claimed by visiting CalKIDS.org. Unlike many scholarships, CalKIDS does not require essays, a minimum GPA, or recommendation

Statewide, more than 60% of public school students in grades 2-12 are eligible to claim a CalKIDS Scholarship worth up to $1,500. Eligible college-aged students may also have a CalKIDS Scholarship Account and can use funds once they are enrolled in an accredited college or eligible career training program.

Additionally, children born in California on or after July 1, 2022, also have a scholarship account worth up to $175. This includes an additional $50 for parents and guardians who link the child's CalKIDS Scholarship Ac- count to a ScholarShare 529 Account, Cali- fornia's official education savings plan, where they can continue saving on their own. Link- ing to ScholarShare 529 Account is one-way helps families build savings habits over time. "California is investing in our children be- cause education and career training are the strongest pathways to opportunity," said State Treasurer Fiona Ma, CPA, Chair of the Schol- arShare Investment Board. "CalKIDS is a $2 billion public investment that puts scholar- ship funds within reach for millions of Cali- fornians. During Financial Wellness Month. I encourage parents, guardians, and students to visit CalKIDS.org, to see if they have a schol- arship account ready to be claimed."

SB Symphony Renews Music Director Contract, Begins 97th Season with a Major Gift

SAN BERNARDINO, CA--- The San Ber- nardino Symphony Orchestra will open their 97th performance season February 21 with the first of five performances designed by Music Director and Conductor Anthony Parnther in honor of the American Semiquincentennial.

"In 2026, we will begin with "American Voices: Lift Every Voice and Sing!" which will celebrate the musical contributions of iconic composers from classically inspired orches- tral pieces to contemporary works," explained Maestro Parnther, adding, "Then, throughout the year, we will continue to shine a spotlight on the genius of American composers."

FBN/DBA $99 www.wssnews.com

Panther, who recently celebrated his sixth highly successful year with the Orchestra by signing a new three year contract, has helped to ensure the organization's sustainability by making a personal gift of $100,000.

"My donation is given in honor of all those who value the arts in the Inland Empire to help to ensure our region can maintain the world class level of creative artistic expression it de- serves. In place until we reach our historic one hundredth year, it is given as a matching gift to encourage others to support the Symphony and therefore, it is my sincere hope, inspire a more profound local culture of philanthropy,"

shared Parnther.

"This is something we never could have imagined," said Orchestra executive director Dr. Anne Viricel. "To have this type of support from an artistic leader is extremely rare in our industry; but over the past six seasons, I have learned to always expect the unexpected from Maestro Parnther. His commitment to our re- gion is unmatched."

State Settlement Shines Light on Civil Rights

Protections for Black Students years.

A state civil rights investigation into Yuba City Unified School District (YCUSD) has resulted in a settlement requiring districtwide corrective actions after allegations that a Black elementary school student was subjected to re- peated racial harassment over multiple school

The settlement, announced by the California Civil Rights Department (CRD), stems from a 2024 complaint filed by the Black student's family under the Ralph Civil Rights Act.

According to CRD, the alleged misconduct included incidents over multiple school years in which students used racial slurs while repeatedly kicking, slapping, or taunting the stu- dent. The complaint also alleged that a teacher pulled the student's hair and used disparaging comments. CRD said the family raised con- cerns with school administrators' multiple times, but the conduct allegedly continued.

The Yuba City Unified settlement highlights how existing civil rights laws can be used to protect Black students from racial harassment in all California schools particularly in dis- tricts where they represent a very small share of the overall student population. In Yuba City Unified, Black students account for 183 of the district's 12,176 students, or roughly 1.5 per-

YUBA CITY UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT cent of enrollment.

According to statewide survey data from the California Healthy Kids Survey, which is administered by the California Department of Education to assess school climate and safe- ty, a substantial share of students report being bullied or harassed at school, with measurable differences by race and ethnicity available through the survey data system.

Redlands High School Claims Third Consecutive San Bernardino County Mock Trial Title

SAN BERNARDINO Redlands High School Team Blue has been named San Ber- nardino County Mock Trial champions. San Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools (SBCSS) and the San Bernardino County Dis- trict Attorney's Office co-hosted a final round of the competition at the San Bernardino Su- perior Court on January 24.

More than 483 students participated in this ⚫ year's county competition. Students repre- senting high schools across 16 districts were tasked with studying the hypothetical criminal case People v.

Assemblymember Mike Gipson Holds "Rallying for Justice" Event Challenging ICE for Shootings

Assemblymember Mike A. Gipson (D-Car- son) on Jan. 21 led a "Rallying for Justice" demonstration in Sacramento challenging federal immigration enforcement over deadly shootings tied to U.S. Immigration and Cus- toms Enforcement (ICE).

Gipson, a member of the California Legisla- tive Black Caucus, and other speakers called for more accountability and stronger legisla- tive action.

Gipson's event at the State Capitol brought together lawmakers, community leaders, and activists to protest what they describe as ex- cessive use of force by ICE and other Home- land Security agencies. The rally highlighted two recent fatal incidents involving immigra- tion agents that have drawn national attention and sparked public outery.

One case involved 37-year-old Renee Nicole Good, a Minneapolis woman shot and killed by an ICE agent on Jan. 7 during a federal op- eration in Minnesota. Video reviewed by news outlets shows the ICE officer firing multiple shots at Good's vehicle as she attempted to leave the scene amid a heightened federal pres- ence. Local leaders and civil rights advocates have disputed the federal claim that the agent acted in self-defense, and the shooting has prompted public protests and legal scrutiny. A federal judge in Minnesota recently issued limits on use-of-force tactics by immigration agents toward nonviolent demonstrators, a de- cision linked to the fallout from Good's death. Another focus of the rally was the death of Keith Porter Jr., 43, who was fatally shot by an off-duty ICE agent in Northridge, Los Ange- les, on New Year's Eve. Local advocates have urged the Los Angeles Police Department to fully investigate the circumstances of the shooting and pursue charges, saying the fam- ily deserves transparency and accountability.

"We are demanding that federal agencies be held to the same standards of justice as every other law enforcement body in this country," said Gipson at the rally. "Communities de- serve safety and accountability, not fear and force." Leaders from both legislative houses' diversity caucuses joined Gipson, underscor-

LICE ICE ing the shared concern over the incidents.

As the rally unfolded, reports emerged of a Customs and Border Protection operation in the Willowbrook neighborhood that involved officer-involved gunfire, causing disruption in the community. Gipson condemned the tac- tics, saying federal enforcement actions have put everyday residents at risk.

The event concluded with a march from the State Capitol to the John E. Moss Federal Building in Sacramento with participants call- ing for state and federal reforms to immigra- tion policy and enforcement practices. They also urged broader public engagement on the use of lethal force by federal officers.

"We are witnessing a mass movement by or- dinary people of conscience who say 'No' to the abuses of ICE," said Gipson "Everywhere from Minnesota to my own Assembly District, I condemn this Administration's callous disre- gard for human suffering - and I am outraged to read in the news of two dozen people shot by ICE since Donald Trump's new term began."

Black Man Gets 22 Years in Prison for Self

Defense Shooting During Armed Home Invasion

Dovico Raynard Miles, an African American man from Gainesville, Florida, who fought back during a violent 2022 home invasion, was sentenced to more than 22 years in federal prison after the case shifted to drug and weapons charges. Miles, 47, was at home with his niece, D'Halani Armstrong, when the break-in hap- pened on July 19, 2022. Court records say two men forced their way inside, searching for drugs, money, and jewelry. A struggle broke out, and Miles managed to wrestle a gun away from one of the intruders as shots were fired from both sides.

Amid the gunfire, Armstrong was fatally shot. Both intruders, Jason Ward and Alderious White, also suffered gunshot wounds. Inves-

NATIONWIDE tigators later confirmed that the firearm Miles used during the exchange belonged to one of the men who broke into the home.

Authorities said that after the shooting, Miles hid drugs and firearms in the backyard. Ac- cording to a federal release, officers later re- covered about 1,000 grams of cocaine, more than 70 grams of cocaine base, over 1,400 grams of methamphetamine, marijuana, sev- eral firearms, and $10,000 in cash.

Miles was already on federal supervised re- lease tied to a 2008 drug conviction. Prosecu- tors charged him with new drug and weapons offenses, along with violating the terms of his release. He pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 20 years for the new charges, plus an ad- ditional two and a half years for the violation.

Local charges involving firearm possession and evidence tampering were later dropped. However, a separate Department of Justice case moved forward and resulted in the final sentence. Gainesville Police Chief Nelson Moya said authorities maintain "zero toler- ance for violent crime" and remain focused on removing guns and drugs from the community.

The others involved in the home invasion have also been sentenced. Ward received 30 years in prison in October 2023. White was sentenced to 50 years in October 2025. Pat- rick Owen Watson, identified as the organizer. received a life sentence in December 2025. Ti- ara Luckie, who served as the getaway driver. pleaded no contest and was sentenced to 15 years of probation.

Rep. Aguilar Highlights Impact of the Republican Health Care Crisis on the Inland Empire

House Democrats led an effort to restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits and lower health care costs, but Senate Republicans have refused to vote on the bipartisan bill

SAN BERNARDINO, CA - Rep. Pete Agui- lar (CA-33) held a press conference at the Unicare Community Health Center in San Bernardino to highlight the impact of the Re- publican health care crisis on the Inland Em- pire and to call on Donald Trump and Senate Republicans to immediately restore the ex- pired Affordable Care Act tax credits.

Almost two million Californians have seen their monthly health insurance premiums sky- rocket after Donald Trump and Republicans failed to extend the Affordable Care Act tax credits by December 31, 2025. In California's 33rd Congressional District, the number of new enrollees in Covered California, Califor- nia's Affordable Care Act marketplace, has decreased by 35 percent compared to last year

due in part to rising costs. That's why House Democrats are leading the effort to restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits and lower health care premiums for 21,000 residents of California's 33rd Congressional District and more than 1.7 million Californians statewide. You can watch the full video of the press con- ference at www.wssnews.com.

"Right now, tens of thousands of people in my district have seen their monthly insurance premiums go up and their health care become too expensive because Donald Trump and Re- publicans let the Affordable Care Act tax cred- its expire," said Rep. Pete Aguilar. "I've heard from countless people in our community who are suffering right now because of skyrocket- ing costs and are having to decide between

House Democrats delivered a real path forward to restore these vital tax credits and lower health insurance costs for hard- working people, but Senate Republicans have refused to vote on this bipartisan legislation.

It's time for Trump and Republicans to work with Democrats to restore the Affordable Care Act tax credits and ensure that working families can get the affordable, quality health care that they need."
