The projected increase, which Superintendent Sean McPhetridge called a “high quality problem,” means that Alameda is now turning away students from other districts. Not only were parents busy getting ready over the past few weeks for the upcoming school year by purchasing school supplies and clothes for their children. So too were the district’s maintenance and other workers. Projects totaling about $3,855,000 were completed over the summer, said Robbie Lyng, the district’s director of maintenance and facilities.

“The Misogynists”: Set around the night of the 2016 presidential election results, Onur Tukel’s stinging satire spares no one — liberals, conservatives, even non-voters. Dylan Baker is appropriately off the hook as a despicable right-winger who’s bellowing and doing blow in his hotel room with a coworker. He’s on fire. Tukel hits on hot-trigger issues — racism, sexism, angry-ism. It’s a discomforting film about the spitting-mad sanctimonious American mindset. Oh, did I mention it was a dark comedy? It’ll get your dander up. Screening: 7 p.m. Feb. 15, the Roxie.
