Bill seeks to oversee charter schools, but education centers say it's detrimental
(FOX 5/KUSI) — There's growing concern from California charter schools that a new bill in the state legislature would cut funding, if approved. The Assembly members behind AB 84, titled the School Accountability Bill, said the bill is intended to create more oversight for charter schools, but the schools disagree and say the consequences of the bill may be detrimental. 'I'm doing animals, robotics and I'm also doing crochet,' kindergartener and soon-to-be first grader Vienna said she's taking those courses through the Homeschool Enrichment Centers. Woodworking, violin, sign language, skateboarding, French, Kung Fu, are just some of the courses offered through the Homeschool Enrichment Centers, which offer academic or extracurricular classes for homeschooled students or as independent study programs through charters. 'I started it actually for my daughter, who just didn't fit that mold of being able to sit still in a regular classroom for 7 hours a day,' Leslie Kitchen, the founder and owner of Homeschool Enrichment Centers, said. 'And now I just have a passion for alternative education for our students.' Through the centers, 16-year-old Ehmi Leonard just graduated from high school, as a junior in college as well. Assemblymember Al Muratsuchi brought the bill forward, and said it's aimed to be an oversight and accountability bill, sparked by the A3 Charter School Scandal, when several people defrauded the state out of more than $50 million in public funds by opening 19 charter schools in San Diego and elsewhere. Those behind the scandal were formally charged in 2019. 'Charter schools, they are privately run but receive public taxpayer dollars, these are education dollars that are meant for our kids, and unfortunately there are some bad actors that have recognized this as a money making opportunity to abuse the system and so that's what this bill is trying to crack down, we're not going after the good charter schools, we're trying to crack down on the bad actors,' Assemblymember Muratsuchi said. But Kitchen said it would have other detrimental consequences if it goes through, and says the charter school funding would be cut by 30 percent, forcing her to reduce classes by about 75 percent and spend millions of dollars on new audits, which she said some are already being done. 'We already have laws in place, we already have audits in place, it seems a little one-sided,' Melissa Allen, parent and educator at the center, said. 'Will we have to close? That's a good question,' Kitchen said. 'That would mean having to cut the people who can't afford the classes, and that grips my heart.' The bill would also no longer allow classes to be taught by people who don't have a California teaching credential, even if they are credentialed in other states, or have years of professional experience in the field they are teaching young students. Local archaeologist Melissa Allen said this bill would hurt her twofold, as a teacher and as a mom. 'Ninety percent of what I make comes from partnering with independent and charter schools, it would also be detrimental to me as a mother because I have my children in this program,' said. 'As a lifelong educator, who's taught in both charter and non-charter public schools, I understand the importance of flexible options to enhance educational experience and outcomes for our students,' Assemblymember Robert Garcia, a backer of the bill, said. 'The heavily documented reports of fraud committed by non-classroom-based charters clearly reveal a concerning lack of oversight and accountability on the use of public funds.' 'AB 84 is not an anti-charter school bill- it is a comprehensive, school accountability bill implementing a number of recommendations made by unbiased and nonpartisan organizations such as the Legislative Analyst's Office and FCMAT, to ensure greater transparency for all schools – district and charter alike. We owe it to our kids to ensure they are receiving the best education and resources that they deserve,' Garcia said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Teen threatened at knifepoint and pet tortoise stolen during armed robbery
Police in Northern Ireland have issued an appeal to the public after a teenager's pet tortoise was stolen during an armed robbery in Belfast. The incident occurred at the Colinmill area of west Belfast on Tuesday evening. At around 7.30pm yesterday evening, it was reported that a young male in his teens was approached by three males in the area. It was reported the three males demanded money from the 13-year-old boy during the incident. When he refused, one of the males threatened him with a knife. The group took the young man's pet tortoise, named Donatello, in the course of the incident before they then made off towards the Old Colin Road area. The Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI) have launched an investigation into the incident and have appealed to anyone with any information in relation to the armed robbery to come forward. Detective Sergeant Kitchen said in a statement: "The males are described as being aged between 14-16 years old, all wearing black coloured clothing and wearing hoods and scarves around their faces. "The male who was armed with the knife was described as wearing a black coloured North Face jacket and dark clothing. "Enquiries are continuing to establish the circumstances surrounding the incident and police are appealing to anyone with any information to contact them on 101, quoting reference number 1564 20/05/25. You can also make a report online at or anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111." The mother of the young victim has also issued an appeal to the public for help recovering the family pet. "I would be grateful if anyone with cctv could check there cameras please for any footage that could help with the ongoing investigation or any information at all," she wrote in a post shared on Facebook. "I am grateful that my son is alive and not seriously injured. He is deeply traumatised by the whole thing and also heartbroken to have lost our family pet. "So I'm appealing for any information in regards to anyone finding our tortoise or anyone trying to possibly sell one . I'm not confident in there being a good outcome and feel that they have harmed and disposed of Donatello. "Any information at all we would be deeply grateful."

Levi Kitchen, Pro Circuit extend contract though 2027
Levi Kitchen and Monster Energy Pro Circuit Kawasaki announced a two-year contract extension that will pair rider and team through the 2027 SuperMotocross League season. Kitchen joined the team in 2024 and finished second to RJ Hampshire in the 250 SX West division that year. Kitchen was one of 12 riders to win in the 250 class in 2025 when he scored the victory in Detroit. His season immediately took a turn the following week when he crashed in the Daytona Supercross race and broke his collarbone and suffered fractures in his upper back. Kitchen would not return to ride Supercross in 2025. Kitchen got back on the bike in early April to prepare for the Pro Motocross season opener next week at Fox Raceway in Pala, California. Last year, Kitchen finished second at Pala. He was second the following week in the Hangtown Motocross Classic in Rancho Cordova, California, before hitting a dry spell in the next four rounds. He overcame that in Spring Creek, Minnesota, and won three of the last five races.

Sam Choy's in the Kitchen: 2024 Kauaʻi Poke Fest Winner Don Gusman
On this special episode of Sam Choy's in the Kitchen, we're putting the spotlight on poke, and a guest who knows it best. Chef Don Gusman, the 2024 Kauaʻi Poke Fest winner, joins Sam and John in the kitchen to showcase his award-winning creation. Chef Don kicks things off with his winning dish: ahi poke congee. This comforting blend of silky rice porridge and fresh poke is a fusion of island and Asian comfort food. The congee base is warm, rich, and lightly seasoned, while the fresh ahi poke on top adds the perfect balance of texture and flavor, a true showstopper that earned him the title at last year's festival. Chef Don shares two more unique poke creations: a dried aku sesame poke, which highlights the deep umami flavor of aku with sesame and shoyu, and a dried ahi tinono poke, featuring chewy, smoky dried ahi and a mix of traditional Hawaiian seasonings. For dessert, he shares a quick and easy take on a classic Samoan dessert, pani popo. He uses soft bread rolls and whips up a fast haupia cream to pour over the top, creating a simple, sweet finish to this poke-forward feast. Sam and John join the fun with their own creation: a savory poke pie. This inventive dish uses a crust made of blended Ritz crackers, arare, and fresh basil. It's filled with a creamy mix of smoked kampachi, mayonnaise, cream cheese, onions, tomatoes, celery, and peppers. Don't miss your chance to taste creations like these in person at the 2025 Kauai Poke Fest at Koloa Landing! For tickets and info, visit: Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
