📰 News we're reading
• From novices to advocates: Stanislaus County parents want more computer science classes in schools (edsource.org) — Parents in the Patterson Joint Unified School District are learning computer skills and organizing to push for more computer science classes, especially in middle schools. Local moms describe how new tech training helps them navigate school apps and advocate for digital literacy, coding, and AI instruction. District officials say they’re open to hearing parent input through advisory meetings. 
• Did CA hospital release ICE shooting patient's medical records without consent? (fresnobee.com) — A man shot by ICE agents in Patterson earlier this month is now at the center of questions about whether Doctors Medical Center improperly shared his confidential medical records with federal investigators. Court filings show FBI agents accessed drug test results taken during his hospital stay, while his public defenders say they have seen no warrant authorizing that access.
• Bill requiring California AG to investigate federal agent shootings advances (sacbee.com) — State lawmakers are advancing a bill that would require California’s attorney general to investigate shootings by federal immigration agents, including the recent ICE shooting on Sperry Avenue in Patterson. Supporters say the change is needed for accountability, while analysts warn that prosecuting federal officers is legally complex and could strain already backlogged state investigations.
