Strong First-Day Attendance at LAUSD Schools Despite Immigration Fears
This article was originally published in EdSource. Four days after a 15-year-old with a disability was mistakenly detained and handcuffed by immigration agents outside of Arleta High School, the first day of the new school year in the Los Angeles Unified School District seemed normal. Students at Arleta High walked through the school's annual red carpet on Thursday as music played and cheerleaders performed. Teachers, like Nicole Patin, greeted them while passing out flyers in English and Spanish to parents and red cards detailing what to do if stopped or detained by an ICE agent. Close friends and former colleagues joined in to welcome the students, including some of Patin's former students. Get stories like this delivered straight to your inbox. Sign up for The 74 Newsletter 'It was actually even emotional, because they just decided to show up,' said Patin, who also serves as chair of the school's United Teachers Los Angeles chapter. 'People that, at one point, were dear friends that had worked, people that were retired, they all came out to help us kick the year off in the right way.' Similar sentiments reigned across Los Angeles Unified as students returned to school, district officials said during a press conference at Gardena High School. And amid heightened immigration fears, district Superintendent Alberto Carvalho touted a 92% attendance rate districtwide — two percentage points higher than last year, a direct result of outreach that included more than 11,000 phone calls and 1,000 home visits. 'We're very proud of you, and I just want to echo our happiness and congratulations on all the things that you've done today, and we know that you're not going to stop, that this will be a continuation,' State Superintendent of Instruction Tony Thurmond said at the press conference. 'The state of California and our office will continue to support you in your work.' The district's Region South had the lowest rate of attendance, which Carvalho suspected was due to the area being home to more Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) activity and parents' fears. He did not disclose the number. Related In response to current immigration activity, he said the district would ramp up its iAttend program — where school and district staff knock on the doors of families and encourage students to return to the classroom — from a quarterly to a monthly activity. He also said that following a 300-student increase, or 7% uptick, in virtual academy enrollment last week, about 200 families changed their minds and reenrolled their children in one of LAUSD's regular, in-person campuses 'as a result of increased trust and confidence specific to the protection protocols.' '[Today] was a great day of joy, of happiness, of community that was celebrated by students, parents and staff alike,' Carvalho said. 'The fear is real, that the anxiety is undeniable, that the concern in the minds and hearts of parents is strong. But many parents told us that the steps we took [involving several tiers of protection and safety zones surrounding schools] … created an environment where parents believed that the best place for their children would be the schoolhouse.' ICE activity took place on Tuesday, near several schools, but no closer than two blocks away. The schools were: Danny J. Bakewell Sr., Primary Center and Bret Harte Preparatory Middle School in Region South Mendez High School, Ramon C. Cortines School of Visual and Performing Arts and Castelar Elementary School in Region East Victory Boulevard Elementary and STEAM Magnet in Region North Everyone involved was quick to communicate and respond, and 'no impact was seen or felt by these schools as a result of these federal actions in the neighborhood,' Carvalho said. The superintendent also said the district is working actively with two impacted families. One is the family of an 18-year-old Reseda High School student who was detained while walking his dog and is currently in a detention center in Los Angeles. Carvalho said the boy's mother told him, 'My son is in a small space with 40 men, most of them, if not all of them, much older than he is. He is 18 years old, but he's a kid. He has not been exposed to anything in his life. He drinks water once a day. The food is insufficient.' The second involved a student who was taken to a detention center in Texas but has since been released. 'Armed men in hoods with masks jumping out of vehicles with militarized vests with long guns in hand. … It's shocking for most adults,' Carvalho said. 'Think for a second about the impact that this has on impressionable young children. … I'm a father. I would not want my child to witness that.' He and school board member Tanya Ortiz Franklin urged families to contact their school's principal if they need help with transportation. Carvalho said they have so far met the needs of more than 300 families who have requested special accommodation, including modifications of bus routes and potential door-to-door services. 'In some ZIP codes in our country, the children will never witness [detentions]. Never,' Carvalho said. 'And then there are kids in [other regions who] walk to school. Blocks. … Can we spare, beyond politics, policy and legalities, can we spare our children from that trauma?' Patin, the Arleta High School teacher, said attendance remained strong on her campus and in her classrooms. 'Our campus is very secure. Our office is locked. … There's no strangers or people just dropping in or having access to our campus,' she said. 'That's really never been that way. But we're especially vigilant now.' And while the overall energy was positive, she said the immigration raids have impacted students. Many, she said, had watched violent interactions on social media and feared for themselves or family members. 'When class started, they wanted to talk about all of the people that were out in front of school and the reporters. They had questions,' she said. 'They also wanted to share their own perspective on the experience and what they were feeling. So, we all allowed for that.' More LAUSD students stayed home this summer than usual, Patin said. And many were happy to meet up with their peers after months of being apart. Twelfth grader Andry Estrada was among them, happy to leave home at 6:30 a.m. and greet his classmates as a member of the marching band and as the secretary of the school's Associated Student Body. He said he was excited to be reunited with his classmates, some of whom had stayed home toward the end of the 2024-25 academic year for fear of immigration enforcement. 'I was definitely excited to see my teachers again and build new relationships and friendships that I haven't been able to reach in the summertime,' Estrada said. 'It's overall been a great day.'

Trump thinks owning a piece of Intel would be a good deal for the US. Here's what to know
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — President Donald Trump wants the U.S. government to own a piece of Intel, less than two weeks after demanding the Silicon Valley pioneer dump the CEO that was hired to turn around the slumping chipmaker. If the goal is realized, the investment would deepen the Trump administration's involvement in the computer industry as the president ramps up the pressure for more U.S. companies to manufacture products domestically instead of relying on overseas suppliers. What's happening? The Trump administration is in talks to secure a 10% stake in Intel in exchange for converting government grants that were pledged to Intel under President Joe Biden. If the deal is completed, the U.S. government would become one of Intel's largest shareholders and blur the traditional lines separating the public sector and private sector in a country that remains the world's largest economy. Why would Trump do this? In his second term, Trump has been leveraging his power to reprogram the operations of major computer chip companies. The administration is requiring Nvidia and Advanced Micro Devices, two companies whose chips are helping to power the craze around artificial intelligence, to pay a 15% commission on their sales of chips in China in exchange for export licenses. Trump's interest in Intel is also being driven by his desire to boost chip production in the U.S., which has been a focal point of the trade war that he has been waging throughout the world. By lessening the country's dependence on chips manufactured overseas, the president believes the U.S. will be better positioned to maintain its technological lead on China in the race to create artificial intelligence. Didn't Trump want Intel's CEO to quit? That's what the president said August 7 in an unequivocal post calling for Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan to resign less than five months after the Santa Clara, California, company hired him. The demand was triggered by reports raising national security concerns about Tan's past investments in Chinese tech companies while he was a venture capitalist. But Trump backed off after Tan professed his allegiance to the U.S. in a public letter to Intel employees and went to the White House to meet with the president, who applauded the Intel CEO for having an 'amazing story.' Why would Intel do a deal? The company isn't commenting about the possibility of the U.S. government becoming a major shareholder, but Intel may have little choice because it is currently dealing from a position of weakness. After enjoying decades of growth while its processors powered the personal computer boom, the company fell into a slump after missing the shift to the mobile computing era unleashed by the iPhone's 2007 debut. Intel has fallen even farther behind in recent years during an artificial intelligence craze that has been a boon for Nvidia and AMD. The company lost nearly $19 billion last year and another $3.7 billion in the first six months of this year, prompting Tan to undertake a cost-cutting spree. By the end of this year, Tan expects Intel to have about 75,000 workers, a 25% reduction from the end of last year. Would this deal be unusual? Although rare, it's not unprecedented for the U.S. government to become a significant shareholder in a prominent company. One of the most notable instances occurred during the Great Recession in 2008 when the government injected nearly $50 billion into General Motors in return for a roughly 60% stake in the automaker at a time it was on the verge of bankruptcy. The government ended up with a roughly $10 billion loss after it sold its stock in GM. Would the government run Intel? U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick told CNBC during a Tuesday interview that the government has no intention of meddling in Intel's business, and will have its hands tied by holding non-voting shares in the company. But some analysts wonder if the Trump administration's financial ties to Intel might prod more companies looking to curry favor with the president to increase their orders for the company's chips. What government grants does Intel receive? Intel was among the biggest beneficiaries of the Biden administration's CHIPS and Science Act, but it hasn't been able to revive its fortunes while falling behind on construction projects spawned by the program. The company has received about $2.2 billion of the $7.8 billion pledged under the incentives program — money that Lutnick derided as a 'giveaway' that would better serve U.S. taxpayers if it's turned into Intel stock. 'We think America should get the benefit of the bargain,' Lutnick told CNBC. 'It's obvious that it's the right move to make.' Michael Liedtke, The Associated Press
