and enroll enough new students to keep it open The Catholic Diocese of San Diego told them in October that they had until Feb 1 to raise $500,000 and enroll 30 new students They raised $114,000 and no new students enrolled said the experience brought the community together we're going to a different school,’” he said “But this community was really important to us even though we're going to all be dispersed to different schools.” the diocese said the school faced a $400,000 deficit The diocese had covered the school’s deficits in the past Superintendent Leticia Oseguera told the school community they no longer could “Efforts to increase fundraising have not yielded the needed funds to cover such deficits,” she wrote in October the diocese has had to subsidize deficits in previous years given the fact that the diocese has filed for bankruptcy it is no longer able to cover the deficit.” The diocese filed for bankruptcy last summer after hundreds of alleged sexual abuse victims sued Katharine Drexel Academy is connected to the diocese rather than a parish Most Catholic schools in San Diego are connected to a parish and those parishes often make financial contributions we have seen that these other schools have business development leads They have a more robust front office,” Carter said Katharine Drexel through the end of the school year will receive a $1,000 tuition discount at another Catholic school for next year “This isn't anything anybody is happy about,” said Kevin Eckery “We hope that the students and families will take advantage of other Catholic schools in the community.” Eckery said the $102,000 raised through major donations will go back to the donors Parents also raised more than $12,000 through a GoFundMe campaign Carter said they’re figuring out how best to spend it He said ideas include an end of the year celebration additional field trips and offsetting eighth grade graduation fees 2025Stream local breaking news and original programming -- The El Cerrito Plaza BART station reopened hours after shutting down because of a train that fatally struck someone who went onto the tracks a spokesperson for the transit agency said BART initially issued an alert at 8:40 a.m about the station closure and spokesperson Chris Filippi said the person was pronounced dead at the scene after being hit The collision prompted the closure of the El Cerrito Plaza station and also stopped service to the El Cerrito del Norte and Richmond stations so trains had to turn around at the North Berkeley station BART officials said shortly before 11:30 a.m that the El Cerrito Plaza station had reopened and limited service was resuming between Richmond and North Berkeley Filippi said authorities investigating the fatal collision have not found any indication of foul play Stay with ABC7 News for updates on this developing story on October 30 With three open seats on the five-member El Cerrito City Council 5 election offers residents a rare opportunity to shape the city’s future Mayor Tessa Rudnick will not be running for reelection after one term on the council Councilmember Paul Fadelli is also not running leaving Lisa Motoyama as the sole incumbent a design researcher and landscaper; Courtney Helion El Cerrito council members serve four-year terms Winners will be sworn into office in December How do you plan to work with fellow council members to make the most of your term A: “I plan to work with my fellow council to address the ‘high performing organization’ goal and specifically financial responsibility of the city of El Cerrito it will be my mission to create a City Revenue Optimization Strategy My experience as a service designer and user experience researcher and instructor for public service employees will allow me to work with the residents the city employees and businesses to ensure the creation of a feasible and community beneficial revenue optimization strategy The council has done a great job pushing El Cerrito into a strong financial position I will work with my fellow council members and the city manager to chart a strong financial future it’s impossible to utilize services provided effectively if you cannot find them or do not know who to talk to I know how challenging it can be to learn about what a city or area has to offer Moving to El Cerrito requires talking with a lot of people and a bit of detective work to find out what’s what I want to work with the city to create a clear map of services and offer this on the city website I think it is also important to track data around services expenses and make it transparent so that citizens can make more informed decisions about what services they are supporting By showing how services are funded and how to access them in a clear and simple manner the city of El Cerrito can empower and direct the public’s voices in the most impactful direction.” Where does your love for this city come from and how will it inform your decisions as a council member?  but it is the first place that I chose to live — not for school I chose to move here because I love what El Cerrito has to offer so I get to walk to local shops like the El Cerrito Natural Grocery Transit and pedestrian travel is easy and safe I want to share what I love about El Cerrito with others and protect it and develop its strengths for others.” Whose voices are going unheard in El Cerrito and how do you intend to amplify them?  From what I can tell from my attendance at City Council meetings and the El Cerrito Democrats renters’ voices are significantly underrepresented I want to ensure that we are regarded as equally important citizens in El Cerrito as homeowners We live and work in this city and I think it is only fair that we are included in conversations around taxation I have a lot of skills and comfort around stakeholder engagement and I will put these to use to elevate renter’s voices.”  The City has some ambitious goals in terms of addressing climate change as outlined in the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan what does a sustainable El Cerrito look like?  A: “A sustainable El Cerrito to me is a transit and pedestrian focused city I believe that encouraging safe and bike friendly streets naturally decreases a dependence on cars It also drives commerce and will benefit streets like San Pablo and the El Cerrito Plaza which promotes community and empathy for our neighbors and there will be growing pains to switch to a more transit and pedestrian focused city A: “I plan to work and collaborate with council members and city staff My main goal is to represent the residents and give them a voice I feel like sometimes it is hard to get a clear sense of how decisions are made and I want residents to feel they are heard.”  EC was the first place I felt like I could establish roots and saw opportunities to give back to my community and the first time I visited his house in EC I felt like I was home I feel like I am in a good position to talk to residents with an open mind.” A: “Many seniors and older residents of El Cerrito feel like they are not being heard Speaking with these individuals has changed my own perceptions about what I thought a senior center was In general I have met and spoken with individuals that have contacted me and will continue to do so I think it is important to give residents a space to speak and feel heard.” what does a sustainable El Cerrito look like A: “A sustainable EC is a safer place for bikers and pedestrians It means thoughtfully switching to renewable energy — all systems have their pros and cons — being better prepared for wildfires and climate change through education I think one of the best ways to mitigate this change is empower and support our residents to make collaborative and proactive policies.” A: “I first became concerned about El Cerrito five years ago when the California state auditor identified 18 cities in California at greatest risk of bankruptcy Out of California’s nearly 500 incorporated cities El Cerrito ranked seventh from the bottom in financial health and was placed in the state’s “Local Government High Risk Program.” In an open letter to Gov “The city is at high risk of financial instability because of its continual overspending and lack of a comprehensive plan to address its financial challenges all of which threaten the future provision of city services.” While the city has made significant progress since 2022 El Cerrito is still designated as “high risk,” with serious problems that have not been addressed the city owes $89 million in unfunded and growing pension liabilities to the retirement accounts of its police officers maintenance staff and other city employees — an irresponsible and unfair burden on future generations El Cerrito overspent its original fiscal year 2024 budget by $3.9 million I am running for city council to ensure fiscal responsibility accountability and transparency; to provide much needed oversight and leadership; and to genuinely engage residents in open I will work collaboratively and partner with not just fellow council members as together we address the city’s complex problems A: “After serving as a Peace Corps volunteer in Thailand I moved to the area 24 years ago to attend graduate school at UC Berkeley where I earned an MBA with a focus on economic development and municipal finance for 15 years; taught finance and economics at the University of San Francisco for over a decade; and volunteered for three years on El Cerrito’s Financial Advisory Board I fell in love with El Cerrito and chose to make it my permanent home because of its small-town feel and beautiful natural environment— all of which have made it a wonderful place to raise my son and establish his roots… My commitment to and appreciation of El Cerrito are why I’m running for City Council and will inform every decision I make as a council member.” fiscally responsible Democrat with values firmly rooted in social justice and community involvement I am fully committed to genuinely engaging residents in planning and decision-making While I encourage residents to visit my website for my analysis of important issues facing our city I also want to hear their thoughts and ideas as I’ve walked neighborhoods and knocked on doors many people have shared with me their frustration at not being heard and not having their concerns addressed I tell my students that I expect to learn at least as much from them as they will learn from me I learn as I listen to my neighbors and community and know I will learn more and make better decisions by amplifying their voices and valuing their diverse experiences A: “The most important role of local government is clearly public safety As recent fires in the East Bay hills have reminded us there are links between fire safety and environmental protection with fire risks greatly exacerbated by environmental degradation and climate change El Cerrito’s Climate Action and Adaptation Plan rightly focuses on community engagement alongside strategies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the impact of global warming resilient El Cerrito prioritizes fire safety Addressing climate change not only enhances the quality of life for all residents but also makes the city a safer more vibrant and equitable place to live.” I now have the experience of being on City Council and serving as mayor.  I have learned that the only way to change things is to work together with my council colleagues and work with the assistance of city staff on clear priorities.  I will continue to push to make fiscally prudent budget decisions support program and process improvements such as making greener choices for vehicles and make us safer through seeking funding and pressing for wildfire prevention and the return of bicycle patrol of the Ohlone Greenway.  I hope that if I am elected my colleagues as well as city staff will also support and move forward my goals.” A: “I moved to El Cerrito in 2005 and as I move through different life stages I have come to love my city and community more and more.  When I first came to El Cerrito so my family participated in local children’s programs and the local public schools.  Then over time I got more involved with the city by serving on the Planning Commission for eight years getting to know the community development plans for our city and getting to know the staff.  Now having served as council member for nearly four years I have learned so much more about the city and how amazing all of the people here are.  In addition to the work of the city along with all the people that walk the neighborhoods and keep an eye on things All this together makes El Cerrito special.”   A: “Many people who are generally content with how things are going don’t come to council or write to tell us what they think I talk with as many people as possible at events and in the community.  Other important voices that are unheard in El Cerrito are from our very large Tibetan and Nepalese community Whenever I have the privilege to meet with members I strongly encourage them to participate in and volunteer for advisory bodies and participate in community events.  This past year we had young people from the Tibetan Association of Northern California perform music and dance as part of our Martin Luther King which was a great way for our community to be even more inclusive.” The city has some ambitious goals in terms of addressing climate change What does a sustainable El Cerrito look like?  “There are two parts of the Climate Action and Adaptation Plan the part that the city will do to make the work of the city more climate resilient and the part that we as residents can do.  The change will not be as dramatic here in El Cerrito because we have been working to be greener for a long time.  We have great participation in almost all of our existing programs as well as choosing to go deep green with Marin Clean Energy our community energy aggregator and non fossil fuel alternative for electricity.  The work of the city will be to implement the plan to keep us on track to get to carbon neutral by 2045.  For us in El Cerrito the climate work will look like all the things that we expect in our community: more healthy trees maintaining the native vegetation in the Hillside Natural Area and reducing fire fuels facilities like a new library that will also serve as a climate refuge for extreme weather and walkable neighborhoods with easily accessible services and retail.  We will feel the benefits of a sustainable El Cerrito through experiencing how livable our community continues to be in the face of climate change.” A: “I look forward to working with everyone on the City Council I have worked with 15 other directors who have represented various cities and counties and brought different perspectives to the board I have also served on several other regional bodies including the West Contra Costa Transportation Commission and the Capitol Corridor Joint Powers Board I have always had productive working relationships with my fellow board and commission members and I will bring this experience and approach to the El Cerrito City Council.” A: “I’m raising my family in El Cerrito and running for City Council because I want what’s best for my daughter’s generation My daughter attends TK at an El Cerrito public school and we plan to keep her in public schools throughout her education My wife and I take our daughter to the swim center and the library and we enjoy walking along the Ohlone Greenway and hiking through the Hillside Natural Area I want El Cerrito to be the best it can possibly be which is why my priorities include fiscal oversight so we can continue to provide robust city services creating homes for people of all incomes and backgrounds so many voices are currently unheard or minimally heard by El Cerrito government At community meetings and City Council meetings where active participation is only allowed in person only the most actively engaged folks are heard and so many others cannot make it to council and community meetings in person One of my first priorities on the City Council will be to bring back Zoom public comment to create greater access and to meet with folks where they are — at community group meetings and other public places where folks gather.” A: “El Cerrito has done quite well on moving to renewable energy to power homes and other buildings and that is primarily how the city has reduced its greenhouse gas emissions Now we must take the more difficult step and reduce our vehicle miles traveled by making it easier We need to improve pedestrian and bicycle safety on streets and particularly at intersections throughout the city with a focus on crosstown corridors including San Pablo Avenue and Central Avenue.  My vision for San Pablo Avenue in El Cerrito and from Oakland to Richmond is for a street where people can move around safely biking or walking and where small businesses thrive — this would include bus only lanes and protected bike lanes all along the corridor and increased bus service on the 72 series lines.” 10890 San Pablo Ave.El Cerrito Community Center More information about the candidates is on the El Cerrito website El Cerrito | Election 2024 Richmond

quickly pick up that bestseller that a friend told them to check out It is a place to escape whatever is going on to get lost in a world that for a short time is better than their reality Even if they don’t leave the store with anything it still provided the safe haven they needed.  This is a feeling book-lovers of El Cerrito will no longer get to experience Barnes & Noble will be closing its store in El Cerrito Plaza by Jan The store was not given an opportunity to renew its lease “No choice was given because when you are sent a letter saying you have until this day to vacate who has led the bookstore chain since 2019 did not respond to requests for comment.  Asked about what will replace Barnes & Noble in the building “We don’t know at this time what new business or businesses will take over.”  Customers visiting the El Cerrito store first noticed that something was amiss in the summer when a store-wide sale was announced.  “I came by to get my little sister a gift,” said Brenda Rodriguez of San Pablo  “The news of the closure was a surprise for me and my co-workers,” said a worker who was not authorized to talk to the media.  Along with the San Jose Almaden Plaza store, El Cerrito workers fought the closure with an online petition that accumulated over 3,000 signatures They first heard about the possibility of a closure at a meeting in January with management El Cerrito employees had moved to unionize they joined the United Food and Commercial Workers Local 5 “I didn’t understand why they waited until after we unionized to tell us … It wasn’t until after we won our election in April that management officially confirmed the store’s closure,” the worker said They first were told that closure could happen when the lease was set to expire in June they were told the lease was extended to January The worker said employees are still in the process of negotiating contracts and severance pay Daunt said the store’s closure had nothing to do with unionization So while the distrust of employees and company does occur unionization just wasn’t the factor,” he said Barnes & Noble’s impending closure will leave El Cerrito and the neighboring cities of Richmond and San Pablo in a book dessert Various bookstores exist in the Berkeley area with the closest Barnes & Noble being at the Bay Street Shopping Center in Emeryville While stores such as Walmart and Target have become a book destination since the rise of the TikTok feature #BookTok nothing can compare to walking into a bookstore and getting lost in a world of one’s choosing there’s just something about walking into a bookstore even if you don’t get anything,” she said The El Cerrito store has been hosting a 25% off sale encouraging shoppers to pick up their favorites and some gifts for the upcoming holidays Business | El Cerrito There is still a bookstore only 6 minutes by car from El Cerrito Plaza – Pegasus Books on Solano Avenue but not so far in as to be inaccessible (and much closer than the chain store in Emeryville) Let’s not overlook our local businesses I totally agree with your point and I love Pegasus but as someone who lives in El Cerrito I want my tax dollars spent in El Cerrito

didn't share details but a witness tells ABC7 News that the pedestrian was an older man Both the driver and the pedestrian were injured and transported away from the scene of the crash BART had to suspend service between North Berkeley and Richmond for nearly three hours Tuesday morning and we’re now learning that this was because someone wandered onto the tracks and was struck and killed by an oncoming train BART had a few service alerts Tuesday morning, and the problem was perhaps a little more severe than the agency was letting on. At 8:46 am this morning, the BART Twitter account posted “BART service has stopped between North Berkeley and Richmond due to a major medical emergency at El Cerrito Plaza.” BART is recovering from an earlier problem Limited train service has been restored between Richmond and North Berkeley By 11:25 am, the transit agency posted that “BART is recovering from an earlier problem Limited train service has been restored between Richmond and North Berkeley.” #BREAKING UPDATE: A BART train hit and killed a person on the tracks at the El Cerrito Plaza station, and the station is closed, according to the transit agency. https://t.co/ZFEYwMVFd3 pic.twitter.com/PsqhOzgZB5 But as NBC Bay Area reports, that “major medical emergency” was that someone walked onto the BART tracks and was killed by a train. The Bay Area News Group adds that foul play is not suspected though the name of the victim has not been released The Chronicle got a statement out of BART which simply said that “A person entered the trackway [at El Cerrito Plaza] and a collision with the train may have occurred.” Normal train service has resumed on the Richmond line Service is back to normal on that Richmond line as of 12:24 pm Tuesday afternoon Yet still, this comes just one week after someone was on the tracks and got killed by a train at Civic Center Tuesday of last week It’s unclear if that person fell accidentally If you or someone you know is struggling with feelings of depression or suicidal thoughts the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers free Related: Person Struck By BART Train at Civic Center Causes Major Delays [SFist] Image: Noah Salzman via Wikimedia Commons Bathhouse and naked yoga hotspot Archimedes Banya recently announced that trans women would no longer be admitted to their monthly women-only “Women’s Day,” and after a furor they’re now declaring two separate women’s nights in hopes of appeasing both sides The Mission Street pinball bar and restaurant Outer Orbit just announced it’s closing after this weekend but there’s a crowdfunding campaign afoot to make sure it’s not Game Over for the popular burger bar Get the latest posts delivered right to your inbox editor / reporter who has been published in almost every San Francisco publication Get all the latest & greatest posts delivered straight to your inbox
