(The Center Square) - CalFresh recipients can now get $60 more a month for fruit and vegetables as part of the relaunch of a pilot program, according to Assemblyman Alex Lee’s office. Lee, D-Milpitas, chair of the Assembly Human Services Committee and a member of the Assembly Select Committee on CalFresh Enrollment and Nutrition, secured $36 million in funding to re-start the program, according to the legislator's office. The Legislature approved the funding as part of its 2025-26 budget and as part of the state’s general fund, according to the California Department of Social Services and Lee’s office. “The CalFresh Fruit and Vegetable EBT Program is a lifeline for those living paycheck to paycheck,” Lee said in a press release issued earlier this year. EBT stands for Electronic Benefit Transfer and is used to deliver assistance. “With the Republican-led Congress making catastrophic cuts to our social safety nets, now is the time to double down on our efforts to fight poverty and food insecurity," Lee said. "By investing in the CalFresh Fruit and Vegetable EBT Program, we are taking an important step to ensuring that low-income Californians can afford fresh and healthy meals.” The program first launched in 2023 and allowed CalFresh recipients to get $1 back on their EBT card for every $1 they spent on fresh produce at participating grocery stores. The program was restarted amid cuts to the federally-funded Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, which is known as CalFresh in California. This will result in an estimated 6 billion to 9 billion meals that will be eliminated annually as a result of these cuts, according to Feed America, a national network of food banks, food pantries and local meal programs. "The CalFresh Fruit and Vegetable EBT Program relaunched just in time for the holiday season,” Lee said in an emailed statement to The Center Square. “By putting real dollars back into people’s pockets, this program will help an estimated 230,000 Californians afford fresh and nutritious meals. It is a proven and scalable solution to reducing hunger, and I’ll be working to secure additional funding so that families can continue to benefit from the program." The re-launch of the program will make a difference for those who rely on CalFresh benefits, workers with participating grocery stores and retailers told The Center Square on Monday. “This program really helps neighborhoods that are especially rent-burdened or have a higher cost of living,” Elise Dang, the senior operations manager for the Northeast L.A. Farmers Market, which is part of Food Access L.A., told The Center Square. “It is kind of an instant rebate that they get on their EBT card and allow them to stretch their EBT further for the month.” Other participating grocery retailers in California, which includes Arteaga’s Food Center, Santa Fe Foods, Harvest Market and Mother’s Nutritional Center, were not able to comment before press time on Monday. The Center Square previously reported 41.7 million people received SNAP benefits each month in 2024. Federal SNAP funding cost $99.8 billion, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, which administers the federal food stamp program. SNAP recipients nationwide got an average of $187.20 a month. A report from the California Legislative Analyst's Office states that administering CalFresh cost $2.1 billion during 2020-21, which was paid for by $1 billion of federal money, $740 million from California’s state general fund and $290 million in funds paid for by counties throughout the state.

(The Center Square) – OpenAI has introduced a new free version of ChatGPT for teachers, as artificial intelligence continues to grow within education. The new platform offers educators a free account through June 2027 to adapt classroom materials, streamline lesson planning, collaborate with colleagues and test AI tools at their own pace, the company said in its announcement. Unlike a regular ChatGPT account, the education version operates under enterprise-grade privacy, security and compliance standards designed to protect student information and meet federal FERPA requirements, the announcement added. OpenAI is already working with an initial cohort of leading school districts that collectively serve nearly 150,000 teachers and staff. “When it comes to AI in schools, the question is whether it is being used to disrupt education for the benefit of students and teachers or at their expense,” said Chris Lehane, OpenAI’s chief global affairs officer. “We want this technology to be used by teachers for their benefit, helping them learn, think and create.” Leah Belsky, OpenAI’s vice president of education, wrote on LinkedIn that AI in the classroom is unavoidable and that teachers need a safe space to explore it. “[E]ducators need space to explore AI for themselves. ChatGPT for Teachers is built to provide educators and school district leaders exactly that - giving teachers tools that help free up time for the most human parts of teaching,” Belsky wrote. Over the summer, the company, along with other organizations, partnered with the American Federation of Teachers. Through a $23 million education initiative, the National Academy for AI Instruction, all AFT members, starting with K-12 educators, will receive free access to AI training and curriculum resources. “AI holds tremendous promise but huge challenges — and it’s our job as educators to make sure AI serves our students and society, not the other way around,” said AFT President Randi Weingarten. “The direct connection between a teacher and their kids can never be replaced by new technologies, but if we learn how to harness it, set commonsense guardrails and put teachers in the driver’s seat, teaching and learning can be enhanced.” Educators and competing companies say ChatGPT for Teachers remains a general AI with educator-friendly features, rather than a tool built specifically for school needs. Adeel Khan, founder and CEO of MagicSchool, an AI-assisted platform for educators, pointed out that OpenAI’s improvements do not go far enough. AI is already a part of students' lives through social media like Snapchat and TikTok; schools must help students develop “agency and literacy” around the technology, Khan said. “It’s good that OpenAI is adding protections, but it’s missing the level of protection that’s truly necessary for educators: true enterprise-grade education security, custom district-by-district data-privacy agreements, and real visibility into usage for districts,” he said in an email to The Center Square. As AI tools become impossible to keep out of schools, the conversation continues to shift from whether AI belongs in education to who gets to shape how it is used. “It’s not an 'if’ AI will be in schools," Khan added. "It's how.”
