Published Mon, 23 Dec 2024 14:57:13 GMT
Police were called to a chaotic San Leandro Unified school district board meeting Tuesday night as hundreds of San Leandro High School students and teachers protested the dismissal of their beloved principal, Dr. Ronald Richardson.Over the course of the evening, students and teachers shouted down board president Peter Oshinski, threatened to go on a hunger strike, and reduced Superintendent Michael McLaughin to bargaining–and even begging–for the crowd to allow the meeting to continue.It was a striking scene, as primarily Black and Brown students excoriated a mostly white board for dismissing a Black principal who they say served as a role model, made them feel safe, and turned San Leandro High School around.According to parents at San Leandro High School, Richardson, affectionately known by the community as “R.O.,” was put on leave without explanation a few weeks ago. Then on Sunday night, parents were informed by email that Richardson “would not be returning to SLHS”.A...Bay Area News Group reporters, photographers honored with NorCal journalism awards

East Bay Times and San Jose Mercury News reporters and photographers won top honors in this year’s annual Excellent in Journalism awards, which highlights the best journalism in Northern California.The NorCal chapter of the Society of Professional Journalists named Nate Gartrell the 2023 Journalist of the Year, the organization’s highest annual honor.The SPJ board acknowledged Gartrell’s prolific nature of the past year — he had more than 600 bylines — but said it was “the depth of his criminal justice reporting” that “demands the attention of the Bay Area, especially in Antioch.”Gartrell, a courts reporter, led news coverage of a police corruption scandal in Antioch and Pittsburg that led to policy changes within the Antioch police force, before ultimately ending in the indictment of 14 police officers.“Gartrell has woven together extensive records and key leaks that shined a bright light on Antioch,” SPJ NorCal’s board wrote in a press release Tuesday. “During this time, the publi...FDA authorizes home tests for chlamydia, gonorrhea

By Jen Christensen | CNNThe US Food and Drug Administration has greenlit the first test for chlamydia and gonorrhea that will allow users to collect samples at home. After HIV, this is the first FDA-authorized test that will allow more accessible home collection for a sexually transmitted infection.The Simple 2 Test, made by New York- and Dublin-based LetsGetChecked, got FDA market authorization Wednesday.Up until now, people concerned that they might have chlamydia or gonorrhea would have to get tested at a doctor’s office.Users of the new test won’t need a prescription and can activate it online. They fill out a health questionnaire for a clinician to go over, collect a vaginal swab or urine sample using the Simple 2 collection kit and then send it in to be evaluated. Test results are delivered online. If the test is positive or if the results are invalid, a health care provider follows up.“This authorization marks an important public health milestone, giving patients more informa...Finalist for NL Cy Young, SF Giants’ Logan Webb finishes as runner-up

A banner year for Logan Webb, which began with the Giants’ homegrown ace inking an extension that will keep him in San Francisco for the next five years and featured career-highs in innings and strikeouts, ended in a runner-up finish for the National League Cy Young.Webb, 26, placed second behind the Padres’ Blake Snell, who became the seventh pitcher in MLB history to win the honor in both leagues. The Diamondbacks’ Zac Gallen, the other finalist, finished third, followed by Spencer Strider, Justin Steele, Zack Wheeler, Kodai Senga and Corbin Burnes.While Webb led the majors in innings pitched, one of only five starters with 200 or more, Snell separated himself from the pack with his strong finish. Allowing two runs over his final six starts, Snell lowered his ERA to 2.25, a full point lower than Webb’s, giving him the upper hand despite throwing only 180 innings to Webb’s 216.The highest finish for a Giants pitcher since Tim Lincecum won the award in ...Bosa not compelled to taunt Mayfield anymore when 49ers face Buccaneers

SANTA CLARA — Nick Bosa stood at the same spot in front of his locker and talked about Baker Mayfield, only Wednesday’s words came out more endearing than four years ago.“He’s definitely scrappy, and he’s tougher than he looks in the pocket with escapability and athleticism,” Bosa said.Sorry, folks, Bosa no longer feels the need to needle Mayfield about a college feud from their days at Ohio State and Oklahoma, respectively.“I’ve never had anything against him. It was just a joke as a rookie,” Bosa said of his antics in an October 2019 win over Mayfield and the visiting Cleveland Browns. “It was fun. My celebrations as a rookie were pretty good.”Now, Bosa wouldn’t mind repeating his shoulders-shrug sack dance a few times Sunday, when Mayfield returns to Levi’s Stadium with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-4) for a cross-country matchup with the 49ers (6-3).Bosa said he had a nice time meeting Mayfield off the field at this past ...In need of a Hells Angels expert, Santa Clara County’s DA turned to an Antioch cop on leave in racist text case

Unable to carry his Antioch Police Department-issued badge or gun after being named in a sprawling racist texting scandal, Officer Thomas Lenderman has found another way to put those sidelined policing skills to work.He’s testifying as Santa Clara County prosecutors’ hand-picked gang expert in a case against members of the Hells Angels Motorcycle Club and the group’s alleged ties to two brutal beatings during a Chris Stapleton concert last year at Mountain View’s Shoreline Amphitheater.All of this, despite Lenderman having spent the past six months on paid administrative leave from his day job in Antioch.His testimony in late October and early November marked a new twist in one of the Bay Area’s largest police scandals in decades. While several other Antioch officers on leave tried desperately in recent months to avoid appearing in court — even going so far as to cite “industrial injuries” for their absences — Lenderman put up no...Man found in suitcase on Lake Merritt identified
