MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE THE
EXTRAORDINARY BRAVERY OF THE
YOUNG PEOPLE FROM FLORIDA AND
ALL THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY YOU

TALKED TO CENTER PAN ABOUT THIS
I THINK WE BOTH VERY INTERESTED
IN.
AND.
MARKING.
THIS REALLY IMPORTANT NATIONAL
MOVEMENT AND IN SOLIDARITY WITH
OUR STUDENTS ASKED THAT WE TAKE
A SEVENTY MINUTE RECESS. AT TEN
TEN AM THIS MORNING.
.
TO TO TO HONOR THE EXTRAORDINARY
WORK HAPPENING ALL THROUGHOUT
OUR COUNTRY. TO TRY TO REDUCE
THE. GUN VIOLENCE COURAGE THAT
IS PLAGUING OUR COUNTRY AND
ENFORCING OUR SCHOOLS. AND SO
WITHOUT A LOVE TO CALL CENTER
BELL.
TO SEE. THIS TO PRESENT HIS SP
NINE FORTY WHICH HAS TO DO WITH.
AUSTIN FINANCIALLY THE
CALIFORNIA THE GOVERNMENT
PROGRAM.
FOSTER YOU.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS. OF THIS IS.
PRESENT TODAY AS BEING NINE FOR
THE.
.
THIS IS TO EXPAND THE CAL
GRANTS FOR FOSTER YOU FOR AND.
.
I'M GONNA BE BRIEF BECAUSE I
WANT THE.
FOSTER HIMSELF TO TALK TO THE
COMMITTEE. OF.
FOSTER YOU FOR A NEW POPULATION.
YOU CAN TRULY IS TO UNDERSTAND
THE CHALLENGES THAT THEY FACE
YOU CAN TRULY UNDERSTAND THE
NEED FOR THIS BILL.
THE BILL WILL ALLOW FOSTER YOU
HAVE TO QUALIFY. FOR AN
ENTITLEMENT CAL GRANT UNTIL AGE
TWENTY SIX.
IT WOULD EXTEND THE LENGTH OF
TIME FOR FOSTER USES IS ELIGIBLE
FOR THE CAL GRANT FROM FOUR
YEARS TO EIGHT YEARS.
AND.
CHALLENGE THE DEADLINE.
CHANGE THE DEADLINE FOR CAL
GRANT ENTITLEMENT APPLICATION.
FROM MARCH SECOND TWO MARK TWO
SEPTEMBER SECOND FOR FASTER YOU.
APPLYING TO ATTEND COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
AND.
.
WE HAVE.
.
OF SPEAKERS IN FAVOR LIKE HIM
COME UP.
.
DEBBIE RUBBER RAUSCHER IS WITH
THE JOHN BURTON TO.
ADVOCATES FOR YOUTH EXAMINER
MOUNTAIN.
IS A.
.
FOR PROSECUTION HIS LECTURES
STORY SO. TURN OVER THEM.
SEARCH CURRENT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DETERMINE
ELLEN AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE FOR TAKING THE TIME TO
LISTEN TO ME TODAY MY NAME IS
DEBBIE RAUSCHER. AND I'M WITH
JOHN BURTON ADVOCATES FOR YOUTH
WE ARE THE CO SPONSOR OF SENATE
BILL NINE FORTY ALONG WITH. THE
LOS ANGELES AREA CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE.
AGE TWENTY SIX FOSTER YOUTH ARE
THREE HUNDRED PERCENT MORE
LIKELY THAN OTHER USED TO BE
LIVING IN POVERTY AND FORTY NINE
TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE
INCARCERATED.
THE KEY TO CHANGING THESE
ABYSMAL STATISTICS AS TO SUPPORT
FOSTER YOUTH TO ENROLL AND
SUCCEED IN COLLEGE. HOWEVER BY
AGE TWENTY SIX TO EIGHT PERCENT
OF FORMER FOSTER YOUTH HAVE
EARNED A DEGREE AS COMPARED TO
FORTY SEVEN PERCENT. OF THE SAME
AGE POPULATION OF YOUNG ADULTS.
AT THE SAME TIME THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HAS A UNIQUE
RESPONSIBILITY TOWARDS THE
STUDENTS HAVING TAKEN ON THE
RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR CARE
AND BECOMING THEIR DE FACTO
PARENT.
A KEY FACTOR CONTRIBUTING TO
THIS LACK OF EDUCATIONAL
ATTAINMENT IS THAT FOSTER YOUTH
DO NOT RECEIVE THE FINANCIAL AID
TO WHICH THEY'RE ENTITLED. MOST
NOTABLY THE CAL GRANT. WE DID A
STUDY TWO YEARS AGO WHERE WE ARE
ABLE TO GET DATA DIRECTLY FROM
THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM.
AND FOUND THAT A FOSTER YOUTH
ATTENDING COMMUNITY COLLEGE ONLY
NINE PERCENT ARE RECEIVING THE
CAL GRANT.
THIS IS CRUCIAL BECAUSE MULTIPLE
STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT
FINANCIAL AID RECEIVED
POSITIVELY IMPACTS GRADE POINT
AVERAGE TRANSFER RATES AN
UNDERGRADUATE DEGREE IN PAYMENT.
IN ADDITION PARENTAL EARNINGS IS
THE NUMBER ONE SOURCE OF FUNDING
FOR STUDENTS ATTENDING COLLEGE
HOWEVER FOSTER YOUTH DO NOT HAVE
PARENTS TO PAY FOR COLLEGE AND
SO THEY ARE LACKING THIS
ESSENTIAL RESOURCE IN NEED
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
THE CURRENT LACK OF ACCESS TO
THE CAL GRANT AMONG FOSTER YOUTH
CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO THREE MAIN
BARRIERS ALL OF WHICH ARE
ADDRESSED BY SB NINE FORTY.
FIRST FOSTER YOUTH RECEIVE LESS
ASSISTANCE PREPARING FOR COLLEGE
AND END UP TYPICALLY TAKING LESS
TRADITIONAL EDUCATIONAL PASS
CAUSING THEM TO MISS. THE CAL
GRANT PRIORITY APPLICATION
WINDOW OF ONE YEAR AFTER HIGH
SCHOOL GRADUATION. SB NINE FORTY
WOULD AUTHORIZE FALSITIES TO
RECEIVE AN ENTITLEMENT AWARD UP
TO AGE TWENTY SIX. THE AGE A CAP
OF TWENTY SIX COINCIDES WITH
MANY OTHER PROGRAMS FOR FOSTER
YOU THE NEXT A PROGRAM A
COMMUNICABLE LEDGES PARTY
REGISTRATION. EXTENDED MEDICAL
AND SO WILL SIMPLIFY OF IT FOR
FALSE DUE TO BE ABLE TO
UNDERSTAND ELIGIBILITY.
SECOND THE LENGTH OF TIME FOR
FOSTER YOU TO COMPLETE COLLEGE
EXCEEDS THE EXISTING FOUR YEAR
LIMIT ON THE CAL GRANT EIGHTY
FIVE PERCENT OF FOSTER YOUTH.
STARTED A COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT A TRANSFER
PATHWAY REQUIRES MORE THAN FOUR
YEARS TO OBTAIN A BA.
FOSTER YOUTH ARE MORE LIKELY
THAN OTHER STUDENTS TO HAVE TO
TAKE REMEDIAL CLASSES AND
THEY'RE MORE LIKELY THAN OTHER
STUDENTS TO HAVE TO REPEAT
CLASSES WHICH DELAYS TIME TO
COMPLETION. WHILE SOME STUDENTS
MAY QUALIFY FOR INSTITUTIONAL
AID AFTER THE CAL GRANT EXPIRES
MANY MANY DO NOT AND ARE FORCED
TO EITHER WOLF WORK FULL TIME.
TAKE TIME OFF SCHOOL OR TAKE OUT
LARGE LOANS AND SB NINE FORTY
WILL REMEDY THIS PROBLEM.
FINALLY FORTY PERCENT OF FOSTER
YOUTH ATTENDING COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TO MISS THE MARCH SECOND
CAL GRANT DEADLINE. SB NINE
FORTY WOULD CHANGE THE DEADLINE
FOR THE CAL GRANT TITLE AN
APPLICATION FOR MARCH SECOND TO
SEPTEMBER SECOND. FOR FOSTER
YOUTH APPLYING TO ATTEND
COMMUNITY COLLEGE.
BY REMOVING BARRIERS TO
FINANCIAL AID ACCESS SB NINE
FORTY WILL GO A LONG WAY TOWARDS
IMPROVING FOSTER YOUTH
EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION
OF THIS VITAL POLICY CHANGE FOR
YOU SO MUCH AND LET ME JUST TAKE
ONE MOMENT TO. ASK THE SECRETARY
TO SUBSEQUENT.
ALLEN. ALLEN HERE WELK PRESIDENT
WILL HEAR GOD JOHNNY LLEVA.
HAND.
AND HERE VIED ACT BY ACT HERE.
ALRIGHT THANK YOU SO MUCH. FOR
YOUR TESTIMONY WOULD LOVE TO
HEAR FROM YOU.
YES.
OF MY NAME'S EGGS EVERY MAN AND
I'M A CURRENT GRADUATE STUDENT
OF USC.
I'M FROM STOCKTON CALIFORNIA
WITH ONE OF THE HIGHEST CRIME
RATES AND. CALIFORNIA. AND HAS
JUST DEFINITELY A ROUGH PAST THE
GET EVEN CLOSE TO THAT.
I STILL CAN'T BELIEVE THAT. I
AM EVEN IN FRONT OF.
SOME AWESOME THIS LIKE THIS THIS
IS PRETTY COOL.
BUT I LIKE TO START MY PERSONAL
STORY.
.
MY MOM WAS A DRUG ADDICT. MY A
AND DAD WAS UNDOCUMENTED.
MEN BECAUSE OF THESE THINGS AND
I WAS SENT INTO FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM AT TWO YEARS OLD. WITHIN
THAT SAME YEAR I WAS ADOPTED BY
AN ELDERLY FAMILY.
WHO METHODS TO DISCIPLINE WERE
A?
I TRADITIONAL TO THEIR TIME.
AND THAT SO DURING MY DURING THE
TAKE AGES A TWO TO FIFTEEN HOURS
ROUGHLY SURVIVING MORE THAN
ANYTHING ELSE. BECAUSE A LOT OF
ABUSE AND NEGLECT.
INVOLVED IN THAT RELATIONSHIP.
AND SOMEONE ABOUT AGE FIFTEEN ON
ALL THOSE YEARS OF.
.
DIFFICULT OBSTACLES. I'M DEATHLY
CAME DOWN TO ONE MOMENT I HAVE
CALLED RELIEF.
AND THEY WANT WANTED ME UP GOING
INTO THE FOSTER SYSTEM I FIFTEEN
YEARS OLD.
AND ALSO TO ADD AND THAT'S WHEN
I LEARNED THAT DOBSON PAPERS CAN
BE AVOIDED SO. FROM THE AGE FROM
FIFTEEN TO EIGHTEEN.
I WENT TO FOSTER SYSTEM AGAIN.
AND I WENT TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT
PLACEMENTS FIVE DIFFERENT
PLACEMENTS WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
AND.
.
DIFFERENT HIGH SCHOOLS WITHIN
THAT SAME TIME.
SO YOU CAN SEE GET ROUGHLY SEE
THE IDEA THE IDEA WHERE I'M
GETTING AT HERE. SO FROM THAT
POINT TO EIGHTEEN YEARS OLD I
WAS ONCE AGAIN SURVIVING SO FROM
TWO TO FIFTEEN OH SURVIVING.
FROM FIFTEEN TO EIGHTEEN HOURS
SURVIVING. AND BETWEEN FIFTEEN
AND EIGHTEEN YEAR IN. HIGH
SCHOOL CRACKED CERTAIN THAT TIME
I WAS I HAD TO BE MY OWN. MY OWN
MENTOR ON GUARDIAN IN THAT SENSE
AND.
AND SINCE. ALL THE ABOVE AD TO
BE MY OWN EMOTIONAL SUPPORT. AND
SO.
THEY'RE NOT THE MOUNTS THAT.
ALONG WITH SCHOOL. AT FIFTEEN
YEARS OLD YOU'RE JUST WORRY
ABOUT THE GIRL THAT LIKES YOU
RANKED.
THAT POINT I WAS MORE WORRIED
ABOUT WHERE MY GOD GOING TO GO
NEXT WHERE MY GOING TO BE. BY BE
MENTALLY SANE AT THE END OF THIS
SO BY THE TIME JUNIOR CAME I
WAS TOLD THAT I WAS GOING WASN'T
GOING TO GRADUATE HIGH SCHOOL
LIKELY I DID.
BITING GRADUATE WITH HIGHS.
ACADEMICS AND WITH THAT BEING
SAID TO TRANSFER TO A FOUR YEAR.
AND DUE TO THAT THEY TRANSFERRED
HIM TO I CAN TRANSFER FOR YOU
HAD TO GO TO A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
HOW TO TAKE REMEDIAL CLASSES AND
THAT'S NEVER EASY FOR ANYBODY
SAY YOU HAVE TO TAKE LOWER AND
CLASSES JUST TO GET INTO YOUR
CORE CLASSES?
SO THAT TICKLED THAT MY PATH A
LOT LONGER THAN EIGHT INTENDED.
AND SO BY THE TIME I WAS READY
TO TRANSFER I WAS ALREADY HAD A
ROUGH A ROUGH START. AND ONCE
AGAIN I WAS MY MENTOR MOM
GUARDIAN ON FINANCIAL SUPPORT.
AND I'M DEALING AGAIN FROM THE
SURVIVAL MODE I'M TRYING TO MAKE
IT MORE MOST IMPORTANTLY. AND.
LIKELY I DID AND I TRANSFER TO A
UNIVERSITY MY DREAM UNIVERSITY
AND I WAS ABLE TO RECEIVE THE
CAL GRANT.
BUT DURING MY COULD COMMUNICATE
EYES I APPLIED FOR FAST BUT
LATER BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WAS
AVAILABLE AND I NEVER SEE THE
CASTLE GRANDE EITHER. AND SO
TRANSFER AS THAT IS THE POINT I
RECEIVE THE CAL GRANT.
I KNOW IF I WOULD EVER SEE THE
EXTRA SIXTY NINE DOLLARS AS ACHE
IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE I
DEFINITELY HAD A WAY MORE
ADVANTAGE. AS FOR SURVIVAL GOES
AND I IT WAS SPREAD THE PATH TO
MY PASTOR'S.
AND I WOULD HAVE TRANSFER LAST
SOONER MOLECULAR DATA TRANSFER
WITHIN A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TIME.
AND I WAS ABLE TO SEE THE CAL
GRANT AS A TRANSFER.
BUT I WILL SAY THAT AS A
TRANSFER IF I WE DID NOT RECEIVE
THE CAL GRANT I WOULD NOT HAVE.
MY BACHELORS BECAUSE IT TOOK ME
OVER THE FOUR YEAR PERIOD TO
RECEIVE MY BA.
.
AND SO WITH THAT BEING SAID I A
RECEIPT THAT COW GRANT AND I WAS
IT WAS ABLE TO COVER MY FULL
EXPENSES EXPENSES ALONG WITH THE
OTHER.
FUNDING I RECEIVE.
BUT I CAN FOR SURE TELL YOU
THAT WITHOUT THAT I WOULD NOT
HAVE RECEIVED MY BA AND I WOULD
NOT BE HERE TODAY TO SPEAK TO
YOU ON CABRAS PASS.
BUT THE MAIN REASON I WANTED TO
PURSUE AN EDUCATION WHY MANY
FAST YOU THEY CAN I THINK CAN
AGREE WHY THEY WOULD PURSUE AN
EDUCATION. IS HIS FATHER FOSSE'S
TEND TO GET SYMPATHIZED BECAUSE
OF THEIR STORY.
AND BECAUSE THEY BECOME
SYMPATHIZE THAT'S ALL THEY
BECOME THEY BECOME A PT.
AND BEING EDUCATED BUILDS A
FORMER RESPECT WHICH I KNOW MANY
OF YOU KNOW.
AND SO AND PURSUE MY EDUCATION I
WANTED TO GAIN RESPECT.
NOT SYMPATHY.
AND TO BE ABLE TO STAND HERE AND
TO BE RESPECTED RATHER THAN
SYMPATHIZE WAS MY GOAL.
AND THIS CAL GRANT BEING
APPROVED YOU'LL HAVE YOU'LL GIVE
A LOT OF FUSS USE THAT ABILITY
TO BE MORE RESPECT IN THE
COMMUNITY AND ME BECOME MORE
CREDIBLE. BECAUSE I THINK THAT'S
WHY WE ALL PURSUE AN EDUCATION
TO GET TO WHERE WE WANT TO BE TO
BE IN POSITIONS WHERE WE CAN BE
RESPECTED.
BUT I CAN I THINK MOST OF US CAN
AGREE THAT THE FACT THAT CHANGE
BEGINS WITH US.
AND SO I FEEL LIKE FOR THAT TO
HAPPEN.
AND TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE THIS
BILL.
SHOULD BE SUPPORTED AND I
APPRECIATE IF YOU DID AND
PASSED.
THANK YOU.
I. REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOUR
TESTIMONY AND.
.
YOU'RE YOU'RE MOVING FROM NOT
JUST THAT HAVING RESPECT BUT
ALSO INFLUENCE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THE FOLKS WHO WANNA. RAISE
OPPOSITION OR CONCERNS ABOUT THE
BILL.
OKAY ABSENT ABOUT.
JUST WANT TO. CONFIRM THAT YOU
AGREE TO ACCEPT THE MOMENTS THAT
WE AGREED ON ON PAGE THREE AREAS
OF ONE ONE AMENDMENT WE WILL
TAKE THOSE AMENDMENTS. ACROSS
THE THIRD ONE MOMENT.
ON PAGE THREE ANALYSIS.
OKAY.
QUESTIONS COMMENTS THOUGHTS FROM
THE COMMITTEE.
OKAY YEAH I'VE REALLY DO
APPRECIATE THE THE TESTIMONY AND
AND THE HARD WORK OF THE OF
CENTER BALANCE I'D LOVE TO HEAR
FROM SENATOR PAT.
I THINK YOU THINK CHAIR.
THE SURVEY. ALSO APPRECIATE.
WHAT WOULD TRIGGER? TRYING TO
DO WITH THE BILL OB I DID IT'S A
QUESTION REGARDING THE.
THE EIGHT YEARS I THINK AN
ANALYSIS A. QUESTION TO RAISE
CERTAINLY UNDERSTAND THAT FAST
YOU'D ACTUALLY I THINK AN
AVERAGE MOST OF OUR.
PEOPLE ENTERING OUR COLLEGE
SYSTEM FOURTEEN OR NOT FINISHING
IN FOUR YEARS OVERALL.
DO YOU.
.
SO DO. WHAT ISIS THERE SOME
DATA ON THE AVERAGE TIME IN
WHICH SHE'S ACTUALLY USUALLY ARE
ABLE TO COMPLETE THEIR HIGHER
EDUCATION?
WELL YES THERE IS THE THE ONES
THAT DO COMPLETE OR SEVEN POINT
NINE YEARS ACTUALLY. THOSE ARE
THE ONES TO DO COMPLETE. BUT
WHAT YOU HEARD ESPECIALLY BY
THE.
WOMAN THERE.
ARE PRESENTED HER SAC STATE
FINANCIAL AID. IS THE CURRENT
SYSTEM.
THOUGH THE THE. BOTTOM DROPS OUT
OF THEIR FINANCIAL AID.
AND THERE'S WAY MORE.
THAT ECAUSE OF THAT HAPPENING.
DON'T COMPLETE.
THEIR. ACADEMIC.
GOALS.
AND.
RESEARCH SHOWS THAT IF THEY
WERE ABLE TO HAVE THAT FINANCIAL
SUPPORT FOR THE EIGHT YEARS.
THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO COMPLETE.
THEIR ACADEMIC GOALS SO. AND I
THINK THE THE THIS IS ALL.
SCIENCE YOU KNOW WE HAVE SOCIAL
SCIENCE HERE THE THE THE MSW
STUDENTS HERE. AND TALK ABOUT IT
BUT THE SOCIAL SCIENCE SHOWS A
FOSTER YOUTH YOU DO THE MORE
TIME.
THEY GO THROUGH THEIR
RECOVERING FROM. SOME FORM OF.
VARIOUS FORMS OF TRAUMA.
AND.
IT TAKES LONGER. AND SO THE
SEVEN POINT NINE YEARS IS FOR
THE PEOPLE TO DO. GRADUATE AT
THE AVERAGE YES.
SEVEN POINT NINE YEARS.
RIGHT WHAT'S PRINTED SPREAD IN
THE NUMBERS OF THE GRADUATES ARE
PRETTY PRETTY DISMAL.
I MEAN IT'S PRETTY DISMAL IN
TERMS OF THE NUMBERS ACTUALLY
GET THERE.
THERE BE A.
AND NOW WE WANT TO GET THAT UP
TO THE.
OF.
MUCH HIGHER SO THE BUT THEY
CAN'T DO IT OUT OF THE FINANCIAL
AID SYSTEM. DROPS OUT FROM UNDER
THEM BOTHER TRYING TO COMPLETE
THEIR DEGREE THAT'S WHY WE'RE
DOING THE BILL. THAT'S WHY WE
PICKED EIGHT YEARS USES SEVENTY
WE WE WAS A SCIENCE YOU KNOW
IT'S BASED ON SOCIAL SCIENCE AND
ASK. THAT WE HAVE ALL THE.
BURTON FOUNDATION IS A REALLY.
YEAH ACTUALLY COME PRETTY
COMPLETE REPORT ON THAT
PARTICULAR SUBJECT AND ALL THE
OTHER.
YOU KNOW KIND OF.
IT'S ALL DOCUMENTED BY RESEARCH
SCIENCE SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCH.
OKAY WELL I YOU KNOW I THINK THE
ANALYSIS DOES RAISE SOME ISSUES
ABOUT. SERVICE FOR.
DUPLICATION SOME PLANTED I JUST
I JUST YOU GO YEAH.
AND I I USED TO RESEARCH A CAR
LOOK AT THE DATA OUT OF THAT
DATA TO BOTH OF US LIKE TO LOOK
AT THE DATA SO I APPRECIATE THAT
THE VALUE CENTER BELL AND DIED.
AND SO CERTAINLY ON. HIM WANT
THEM WILL BE VOTING FOR THE BILL
TODAY AND. TO MOVE FORWRD.
I THINK THAT. AS WE LOOK AT OUR
AND AND CERTAINLY APPROPRIATIONS
DEALS WITH THE MONEY SIDE OF
THINGS SO.
I DO THINK THAT.
MAY WANT TO LOOK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT HOW WE TRY TO MAXIMIZE YOU
KNOW ARE OUR. OUR RESOURCES IN
TERMS OF BEING A SHIRT IN A WAY
THAT ASSURES THAT FOST USE WILL
HAVE THE FINANCIAL SUPPORT THEY
NEED THAT THEY'RE NOT GOING TO
DROP OUT BECAUSE OF LACK OF
FINANCES. BUT ALSO BE SURE THAT
WE'RE MAXIMIZING TRYING DOWN ON
OTHER. SOURCES OF FUNDING AS
WELL BECAUSE.
THIS YOU KNOW WE GO THROUGH THE
BUDGET PROCESS AND SO FORTH
SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT
YOU KNOW WE.
LIMITS ARE PLACED AND I DON'T I
DON'T WANT TO DO IS.
REDUCE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE
COULD ACTUALLY GET ACCESS TO
FINANCIAL AID AND IN THE PROCESS
SO.
SO I JUST I AM SURE OF. THE
QUESTION RIGHT WELL THAT'S
THAT'S WHY APPROPRIATIONS WILL
DEAL WITH THAT GOT WE'LL WE'LL
DEAL WITH THAT AND ARE. OF THE
US APPROPRIATIONS OKAY VERY GOOD
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. VAN AND MANY OTHER
QUESTIONS ARE COMES FROM KENNY.
OKAY BILS AND MOVED BY CENTER
LEYVA ISAAC TRIP IS CORAL.
WE SHOULD CLOSE NON.
OKAY WE TAKE AS YOUR CLOTHES NO
I THINK THOSE IMPORTANT THE THIS
IS A.
THERE'S THERE'S SO MUCH RESEARCH
ON THIS QUESTION.
.
AND RESPONDING TO CENTER PAN ON
THE ISSUES THERE. OF THAT THE
AVENUES THAT IS APPROPRIATE
POLICY FOR FOSTER USED TO
COMPLETE. TO COMPLETE THEIR
EDUCATION RESEARCH IS THERE AND.
THIS IS THE BASIS OF THIS BILL
THIS BILL STANDS ON SOME VERY
STRONG RESEARCH.
STUDY.
IT'S BASED ON SCIENCE WE ALL
KNOW THAT IF WE DO THIS BILL.
THERE VIA A TREMENDOUS INCREASE
IN THE NUMBER OF FOSTER YOU HAVE
TO GET. BACHELOR'S DEGREES OF
THE GOAL OF THE FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM IS.
.
TO CREATE SUCCESS WE'VE GONE
WITH ON A PATH TOWARDS THAT.
WITH.
STARTING WITH.
.
THE BILL THAT WE DID.
.
FOR A EXTEND THE AGE FROM
EIGHTEEN TO TWENTY ONE AND THEN
ALLOWING.
.
OF FOSTER YOU'VE TO CONTINUE
THEIR HIGHER EDUCATION. BUT WE
FOUND TOO MANY STORIES WHERE THE
FOX YOU'VE DROP OUT.
BECAUSE OF AND IT'S NOT BECAUSE
OF THEIR ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IS
BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK OF
FINANCIAL. ASSISTANCE AND THEY
DON'T HAVE A PARENT TO GO TO
OTHER PEOPLE TO GO TO.
.
IT'S A IT'S A ROUGH SITUATION
WHEN YOU'RE.
FACED WITH A DILEMMA. SO I
IMAGINE I VOTE I THINK IT'S IN
GOOD PUBLIC POLICY TO EXTEND.
THIS THIS.
IS YOU CAN SEE ANOTHER THING I
POINT OUT IS. THIS IS.
.
AS YOU SAID ABOUT. EARNING THE
RESPECT THE PEOPLE AND I THINK.
THE FOSTER YOU HAVE TO RESPECT
BECAUSE AS A GROUP THAT WANTS TO
DO GRADUATE.
THEY TEND TO GO INTO. THINGS
LIKE SOCIAL SCIENCE.
OR SOME KIND OF PUBLIC ADVOCACY.
AND IF YOU ASK ME START ASKING
HIM WHAT YOU'RE DOING THAT'S
WHAT THEY'RE DOING.
THEY'RE GIVEN BACK. SO IT'S A
GOOD INVESTMENT TO INVEST IN
EDUCATION.
OUT OF IT AS A WHOLE BUT IT'S
ESPECIALLY GOOD TO INVEST IN
FOSTER YOU. MAKE SURE THEY'RE
SUCCESSFUL OURS AND I BOTH.

ABILITY TO PRESENT TO SENATE
BILL NINE FORTY SEVEN. THIS IS
LEGISLATION TO CREATE A PROCESS
FOR PARENTS STUDENTS EDUCATORS.
AND OTHER EDUCATIONAL STAKE. TO
COLLABORATE WITH THE STATE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION. TO
DEVELOP PROPOSALS ABOUT DIGITAL
CITIZENSHIP MEDIA LITERACY AND
THE SAFE USE OF TECHNOLOGY WHICH
WILL PROVIDE THE TOOLS AND
GUIDANCE TO EDUCATORS. IN THE
VERY DIFFERENT TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY LEARNING PROCESS AND THE
PROCESS THAT MANY OF US AND
THOSE OF YOU IN THE DIET SIX
BERRY INST WE LIVE AS WE KNOW IN
A VERY DIFFERENT WORLD.
EDUCATION THAT THE CHALLENGES
AFFECTING OUR YOUTH AND OUR
NATION TODAY ARE QUITE A BIT
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT THEY WERE.
JUST A DECADE OR TWO AGO AS A
RESULT OF THE DIGITAL AGE IN
WHICH WE LIVE TEENAGERS TODAY.
AND IS THIS THESE NUMBERS ARE
SOMEWHAT STAGGERING.
BUT NOT NECESSARILY SURPRISING
SPEND AN AVERAGE OF FIFTY HOURS
A WEEK ONLINE. AND THE NUMBER
FOR TWEENS IS EVEN HIGHER.
CURRENTLY THERE ARE NO STANDARDS
FOR TEACHING STUDENTS ABOUT THE
MORE CRITICAL ASPECTS OF DIGITAL
CITIZENSHIP. THINGS LIKE SEX
THING CYBER BULLYING PRIVACY AND
WHAT IS TRULY FAKE NEWS.
EDUCATORS ARE FACED WITH THE
OFTEN OVERWHELMING CHALLENGES
PRESENTED BY TECHNOLOGY USAGE BY
STUDENTS. AND STUDENTS STRUGGLE
TO MAKE SENSE OF AN EVER
CHANGING DIGITAL LANDSCAPE.
THIS MEASURE AS SPEED NINE FORTY
SEVEN. WOULD ESTABLISH AN
ADVISORY PANEL COMPRISED OF
EDUCATIONAL EXPERTS WORKING IN
TANDEM WITH THE OFFICE OF THE
STATE TUMORS SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION. TO DEVELOP
BEST PRACTICES AND STRATEGIES
THAT SUPPORTS SCHOOL DISTRICTS
INCLUDING PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT FOR EDUCATORS AND
ADMINISTRATORS SPECIFICALLY THIS
BILL WILL REQUIRE THE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION. IN CONSULTATION
WITH THE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION AND A PANEL OF
STAKEHOLDERS TO IDENTIFY THESE
BEST PRACTICES IN MEDIA
LITERACY.
AND THEN REPORT TO THE
LEGISLATURE ON STRATEGIES BEST
TO IMPLEMENT THESE PRACTICES AS
STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA USE THE
IMMENSE POWER OF TECHNOLOGY AND

OF ALL LEARNING WITH ALL

CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
REQUIRED.
TO ACCESS ANALYZE EVALUATE
CREATE AND PARTICIPATE IN OUR
MEDIA DRIVEN ENVIRONMENT WE MUST

THIS BILL CALLS FOR STATUS AND
BEST PRACTICES AND PROFESSIONAL

STATES OF WASHINGTON RHODE
ISLAND CONNECTICUT UTAH IN
MASSACHUSETTS. WITH BILLS
PENDING IN VIRGINIA NEW YORK NEW
JERSEY NEW MEXICO AND HAWAII.
IT SEEMS WE ALL AGREE THAT THIS
IS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE.
WE BELIEVE THIS BILL DESERVES
WIDE NONPARTISAN SUPPORT TIME
FOR CALIFORNIA TO MAKE A
COMMITMENT TO MEDIA LITERACY AND
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP.
LET'S EMPOWER OUR USE BY
CLIPPING THEM WITH THE TOOLS
THEY NEED TO NAVIGATE AND

ERICA HOFFMAN ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION IN SUPPORT OF THE
MEASURE THANK YOU.
MORNING MR TURN MEMBERS ISABEL
GARCIA REPRESENTING THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
FOR ALL THE REASONS STATED WE'RE
RECOMMENDING A FORMAL SUPPORT
THEIR UPCOMING STATE
CONSULTATION MANY. BECAME.
GOOD MORNING SIR MEASURE WITH
THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION SUPPORT.
MAKING MORE REPRESENTING REAL
NEWS FOR THE CALIFORNIA NEWS
PUBLISHERS ASSOCIATION.
THANK YOU.
ALRIGHT.
DO YOU HAVE FOLKS WHO WANT TO
RAISE CONCERNS WITH THE BILL OR
OR. SPEAK UP SESSION.
OKAY THE BILLS BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE FOR QUESTIONS COMMENTS
THOUGHTS A SERPENT.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND.
SUBJECT SOMEWHAT THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR BRINGING THIS BILL
FORWARD I KNOW YOU AND SENATOR
DODD ARE WORKING ON THIS VERY
IMPORTANT ISSUE.
THE YOUNG RECENT STUDY ACTUALLY
SHOWED THAT ON TWITTER.
FALSE INFORMATION OR FAKE NEWS
SOME CALL IT BUT OUR ALTERNATIVE
FACTS OR WHATEVER THING THEY
WANNA CALL BUT THE SENSUALLY.
UNTRUE.
SOME. OF THOSE ARE ACTUALLY
RETWEETED SEVENTY PERCENT MORE
OFTEN.
BUT TRUE STORIES ARE.
SO AS OUR YOUTHS ARE IN THE
SOCIAL MEDIA WORLD. THERE'S A
LOT OF MISINFORMATION.
SOMETIMES MISINFORMATION IS
MORE APPEALING. AND YOU DON'T
KNOW US SO FOR EXAMPLE ACTUALLY
MOST RECENTLY.
WE'RE GONNA REMEMBER A MONTH
AGO THE SHOOTING HAPPENED TO
PARKLAND.
WAS RAPIDLY RE TWEETED THAT THE
SHOOTER WAS PART OF A YOU KNOW
RIGHT WING. GROUPS BECAUSE IN
THAT WHAT TURNED OUT WASN'T
TRUE.
SO.
THAT WAS BUT IN THE MOMENT OUT
PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE ARE RETREATING
THINGS THAT.
ARE UNCONFIRMED THAT THEY DON'T
KNOW AND.
AND THEN OF COURSE WE CAN TALK
ABOUT.
SAYS YOU KNOW WELL OUR
INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES SAID THERE
IS MANIPULATION OF ELECTIONS.
SO. WE NEED TO HAVE A CITIZENRY
THAT'S PREPARED FOR THAT WHETHER
IT'S ON THE POLITICAL FRONT TO
PROTECT A DEMOCRACY TO PROTECT
THEMSELVES FROM COMMERCIAL
EXPLOITATION.
TOO. FROM PEOPLE WHO SEEK TO
UNDERMINE OUR.
TO A SCIENCE WHICH IS AT THE
CORE OF THE STRENGTH OF OUR
COUNTRY OF BEING ABLE TO SING
WISH FACTS FROM NON FACTS AND
THEN BE ABLE TO COME TOGETHER AS
A COUNTRY AROUND WHAT IS TRUE.
AND SO I THINK IT'S EXTREMELY
VITAL THAT.
WE EDUCATE OUR STUDENTS AND
ACTUALLY THERE'S AN URGENCY TO
THIS AS WELL.
THE TECHNOLOGY IS MOVING FORWARD
SO AND. SO.
WE NEED TO MAKE THIS A TOP
PRIORITY BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS.
AND ACTUALLY ADULTS ARE BEING
EXPOSED TO THIS AND A CONSTANT
BASIS I CERTAINLY URGE SUPPORT
AND BE HAPPY TO MOVE AT THE
PROPER TIME FOR BILL.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
FOR MOVING THE BILL OTHER
QUESTIONS OR THOUGHTS.
OKAY SO THE BILLS MOVE MY CENTER
PARENT TEACHER TO CLOSE A VERY
BRIEFLY I THINK.
TALKED PEN YOU ARTICULATED AS
WELL AS. CAN BE.
THIS IS A NON PARTISAN BILL. SO
I UNDERSTAND THEY WERE TWEETING
pTHIS THIS PERSON WAS PART OF A
RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY. PART OF A
LEFT WING CONSPIRACY I MEAN THIS
IS ALL OVER THE PLACE WE KNOW
THAT THE RUSSIANS HAVE
RECOGNIZED THAT FOR DEMOCRACY TO
FLOURISH WE HAVE TO BE OPERATING
FROM THE SAME FACTS. SO TO
DISRUPT DEMOCRACY IS PART OF
THEIR GOAL THEY'VE BEEN SOMEWHAT
SUCCESSFUL.
I'M NOT SURE AT THIS POINT TIME
WE KNOW HOW TO DISCERN THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THE TRULY
REAL AND AND THE UNREAL BUT AS
YOU SAY IT IS CRITICAL FOR
DEMOCRACY. THAT WE ALL COME
TOGETHER.
AROUND WHAT IS TRUE AND MAKE OUR
DECISIONS BASED UPON THE FACTS
REGARDLESS OF WHICH WAY WE
ULTIMATELY DECIDE. AND CERTAINLY
FOR OUR YOUTH THE FACT THAT THAT
NOW WE SEE YOUNG PEOPLE
COMMITTING SUICIDE BECAUSE
THEY'VE BEEN CYBER BELIEVED.
THAT. WE DON'T KNOW HOW TO
ENGAGE EACH OTHER NECESSARILY ON
THE INTERNET AND FRANKLY AS
ADULTS WHO AND WHO DIDN'T HAVE
THIS. THIS KIND OF INTERACTION
WE USED TO TALK ON THE PHONE OUR
PARENTS KNEW WE WERE ON THE
PHONE FOR WAY TOO LONG. THE*
THAT'S OUT THERE TODAY THAT MANY
OF US AS ADULTS DON'T REALIZE I
WAS JUST WITH MY FIVE YEAR OLD
GRANDDAUGHTER THIS WEEKEND HER
ABILITY TO TRAVERSE MY. I PHONE
HERE IS SO MUCH GREATER THAN
MINE IT SCARES ME TO DEATH THEY
KNOW SO MUCH MORE THAN WE DO
THEY KNOW HOW TO USE THE SMITH A
QUICK MEANT. WE REALLY NEED OUR
EXPERTS TO GET TOGETHER AND TO
TRY TO GET SOME HANDLE ON THIS.
FOR THE SAKE OF OUR CHILDREN AND
FOR THE SAKE OF OUR DEMOCRATIC
INSTITUTIONS WITH THAT I WOULD
ASK FOR YOUR VOTE CENTER AREN'T.

LOCAL DISTRICTS AS THEY DO THEIR
ARTWORK. WE DON'T SEE THIS AS

TO MY SENATOR DODD. ASSISTED US
YOUR PRESENT SP EIGHT THIRTY.
AND WE INVITE YOU TO THE DICE.
MR MEMBERS START A WHOLE JOB
HERE THIS MORNING.
I PRESENTING.
SP EIGHT THIRTY PERTAINING TO
MEDIA LITERACY EDUCATION.
THE PROLIFERATIONOF FAKE A
MISSILE MISLEADING NEWS IS
DEEPLY CONCERNED. I EVEN MORE
CONCERNING IS A LACK OF
EDUCATION PROVIDED TO ENSURE
PEOPLE. CAN DECIDE.
DETERMINE WHAT IS FAKE AND WHAT
IS NOT.
THE PREVALENCE OF FAKE NEWS
GARNERED NATIONAL ATTENTION IN
THE MOST RECENT ELECTION. WERE
IN THE FINAL MONTHS OF THE
PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN FALSE AND
MISLEADING. STORIES FROM HOAX
WEBSITES OUTPERFORMED ACTUAL
NEWS STORIES IN TERMS OF SOCIAL
MEDIA ENGAGEMENT.
A RECENT STAFFORD STUDY FOUND
THAT EIGHTY TWO PERCENT OF THE
MIDDLE TO SCHOOL STUDENTS
STRUGGLED TO DISTINGUISH BETWEEN
ADVERTISEMENTS FOR NEW STORIES.
THE REPORT ALSO FOUND
SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WITH THE
CIVIC ONLINE REASONING. OF HIGH
SCHOOL AND COLLEGE STUDENTS AS
WELL.
THIS STUDY CONCLUDED OVERALL
YOUNG PEOPLE'S ABILITY TO REASON
ABOUT THE INFORMATION ON THE
INTERNET. CAN BE SUMMED UP IN
ONE WORD. BLEAK.
WELL WE HAVE A CRITICAL THINKING
REQUIREMENTS IN OUR CURRICULUM
THEY JUST HAVEN'T KEPT UP WITH
THE DIGITAL AGE. BY GIVING
STUDENTS THE PROPER TOOLS TO
ANALYZE THE MEDIA THEY CONSUME
WE CAN EMPOWER THEM TO MAKE
INFORMED DECISIONS.
SB EIGHT THIRTY REQUIRES THE
STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO
DEVELOP A MODEL CURRICULUM IN
MEDIA LITERACY.
WHEN WE SAY MEDIA LITERACY WE
MEAN THE ABILITY TO ANALYZE AND
EVALUATE INFORMATION FROM
VARIOUS OUTLETS SUCH AS WEB
SITES SOCIAL NETWORKING SITES
TELEVISION RADIO AND PRINT.
ADOLESCENCE CAN SPEND UP TO NINE
HOURS A DAY ABSORBING MEDIA FROM
THESE VARIOUS SOURCES.
UNDER MY LEGISLATION THE
CALIFORNIAN STRUCTURAL QUALITY
COMMISSION WILL BE RESPONSIBLE
FOR DEVELOPING A MODEL
CURRICULUM IN MEDIA LITERACY FOR
SOCIAL SCIENCES GRADES ONE
THROUGH TWELVE.
THE BOARD O EDUCATION BE
REQUIRED TO ADOPT THAT MODEL
CURRICULUM MAKE AVAILABLE ON ITS
WEBSITE A LIST OF MEDIA.
LITERACY RESOURCES AND
MATERIALS.
AND ENSURE TRAINING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR TEACHERS.
THAT MEANS EDUCATION
PROFESSIONALS WILL BE THE ONES
DEVELOPING THE ACTUAL MODEL
CURRICULUM AND REVIEWING
MATERIALS TO SEE WHAT. MEETS
THEIR STANDARDS THIS ISN'T ABOUT
TEACHING A CERTAIN PERSPECTIVE.
IT'S ABOUT TEACHING CRITICAL
THINKING AND RESEARCH SKILLS TO
EXPOSE BIASES ARE FALSEHOODS IN
PURPORTED NEWS OR FAX. THAT IS
WHY THIS BILL HAS BIPARTISAN CO
AUTHORS. THIS IS NOT A PARTISAN
ISSUE REGARDLESS OF OUTLOOK
THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO SKEW OR
FABRIC FABRICATE FACTS. FOR
THEIR OWN POLITICAL AND PROFIT
MOTIVES. THIS ISN'T ABOUTPUSHING
AN IDEOLOGY IT'S ABOUT
EMPOWERING STUDENTS.
TO MAKE INFORMED DECISIONS AND
FRANKLY IT'S ABOUT SAFEGUARDING
THE FUTURE OF OUR DEMOCRACY WITH
ME TODAY AND SUPPORT IS DONNIE
CONDO A KAISER COMMON SENSE KIDS
ACTION. AND BETH ORTON FROM THE
DIRECTOR CENTER FOR MEDIA
LITERACY.
GOOD MORNING DANNY CANNOT KAISER
ON BEHALF OF COMMON SENSE KIDS
ACTION WE'RE PROUD TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL WE THINK SENATOR DODD
HIS STAFF AND OTHER GROUPS WHO
ARE HERE IN SUPPORT FOR THEIR
CONTINUED WORK. IN ENSURING THE
SP EIGHT THIRTY ADDRESSES THE
NEEDS TO TEACH OUR CHILDREN THE
CRITICAL THINKING SKILLS
NECESSARY TO SUCCEED IN TODAY'S
WORLD.
THIS BILL THOUGHTFULLY LEVERAGES
OTHER PAST AND CURRENT EFFORTS
SUCH AS SP NINE FOUR SEVEN TO
ENSURE BEST PRACTICES AND
RESOURCES ARE BEING DEVELOPED
OVER THE NEXT FEW YEARS.
WE'RE EXCITED TO WORK WITH
SENATOR DODD ON EXPANDING HIS
VISION.
CREATING CURRICULUM THAT MORE
FULLY EMPOWERS AND SUPPORTS
EDUCATORS AND WE ARE TRY THOUGH
THANK YOU.
BETH ORTON FROM THE CENTER FOR
MEDIA LITERACY RATE HERE IN
SUPPORT OF SB EIGHT THIRTY.
BECAUSE IT CALLS FOR MEDIA
LITERACY EDUCATION THE SOCIAL
SCIENCES AND RECOMMENDS
DEVELOPMENT OF CURRICULUM AND
RESOURCES FOR EDUCATORS.
WE BELIEVE IN MEDIA LITERACY
ACROSS THE BOARD FOR ALL GRADES
AND ALL STUDENTS.
MEDIA LITERACY PROVIDES A
FRAMEWORK FOR STUDENTS TO USE IN
DEVELOPING IMPORTANT NECESSARY
LIFE MAKE LIFE SKILLS FOR MAKING
INFORMED DECISIONS.
TO BE SUCCESSFUL WE MUST PROVIDE
EDUCATORS WITH TRAINING AND
RESOURCES SO THEY CAN
COMPETENTLY PREPARE THEIR
STUDENTS FOR ACTIVE AND
RESPONSIBLE PARTICIPATION IN
TODAY'S WORLD.
THE MAJORITY OF TEACHERS IN OUR
COUNTRY.
UNLESS THEY ARE BRAND NEW TO THE
FIELD AND JUST OUT OF COLLEGE
HAVE NOT HAD ANY TRAINING IN
MEDIA LITERACY. THERE ARE
TEACHERS AND LIBRARIANS WHO SEEK
OUT TRAINING ON THEIR OWN TIME
AND THEIR OWN DOLLAR WHICH IS
HIGHLY COMMENDABLE BUT WE MUST
PROVIDE RESOURCES FOR ALL
TEACHERS AND ALL STUDENTS.
THIS IS A NON PARTISAN ISSUE
THAT URGENTLY DESERVES A
COMMITMENT FROM THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THANK YOU THANK YOU.
