THAT WORK THERE SHOULD TRY.
WE'RE GONNA CALL THE MEAT OF THE
BUDGET SUBCOMMITTEE NUMBER ONE
HEARING.
TO ORDER.
.
AND WE ARE GOING TO GO RIGHT
INTO OUR FIRST.
PANEL PRESENTATION.
I BELIEVE MR FINE IT'S GOING TO
COME ON UP AND.
TELL US EVERYTHING WE NEED TO
KNOW.
COME ON SENATORS.
I'M GOING TO.
.
STAR THE COUPLE COMMENTS BEFORE
I GO INTO THE OUTLINE THAT OF
PASSED OUT.
I THINK.
YOU'LL PRE YOU'LL APPRECIATE
THIS THIS IS SO TRUE GONNA NO
MATTER WHAT ROLE WE PLAY IN HIM
IN LIFE.
BUT.
THINK MATT ITSELF DOESN'T.
FULFILL ITS MISSION
ACCOMPLISHED ITS WORK ALONE.
I WE PARTNER WITH MANY AGENCIES
AND ORGANIZATIONS AND EVEN
THEIR TALENTS AND INFLUENCE TO
ENSURE CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE SAM
GOVERNANCE IN FINANCIAL
PRACTICE.
ONE OF OUR GREATEST PARTNERS IN
THIS WORK IS.
I'M SCHOOL SERVICES OF
CALIFORNIA.
THIS PAST WEEK IN HER RUN
BENNETT THEIR CHIEF EXECUTIVE
OFFICER I'M SUDDENLY PASSED AWAY
AT THE AIRPORT DEPARTING FLIGHT.
RON WAS AN ICON IN THIS BUSINESS
HE HAD ENORMOUS INFLUENCE.
HE WAS A MENTOR TO MANY.
DISTRICTS THAT FOLLOWED RUNS
ADVICE WON'T APPEAR.
ON OUR LIST OF CONCERNS THEY ARE
THE DISTRICTS WE TALK ABOUT WHEN
WE COME HERE.
FICK MADIS GRATEFUL TO FOR RON.
AND THE TEAM AT SCHOOL SERVICES
FOR THEIR PARTNERSHIP IN RON
WILL BE SORELY MISSED.
CHAIR COMMITTEE MEMBERS IT'S MY
PLEASURE TO UPDATE YOU ON THE
STATUS OF SCHOOL DISTRICT FISCAL
MATTERS. AND THE WORK ETHIC
MOUNT.
AS THE COMMITTEE IS AWARE THE AB
TWELVE HUNDRED PROCESS WHICH AS
BEEN OUTLINED IN YOUR STAFF
REPORT. PROVIDES EACH SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
.
REQUIRED EACH SCHOOL DISTRICT A
FILE TO INTERIM REPORTS
EACH YEAR WITH THEIR RESPECTIVE
COUNTY OFFICE.
OF EDUCATION WE REFERRED TO
THESE IS THE FIRST IN THE SECOND
IN ARMOR PORTS.
EACH DISTRICT SELF CERTIFIES
POSITIVE QUALIFIED OR NEGATIVE.
THE COUNTY OFFICE REVIEWS THE
REPORT AND SUPPORTING
DOCUMENTATION. AND EITHER
CONCURS OR DOES NOT CONCUR WITH
A SELF CERTIFICATION.
POSITIVE CERTIFICATION IS A
STATEMENT THAT THE DISTRICT.
IS ABLE TO MEET ITS FINANCIAL
OBLIGATIONS FOR THE CURRENT AND
TWO SUBSEQUENT FISCAL YEARS.
A QUALIFIED CERTIFICATION MEANS
OF THE DISTRICT MAY NOT MEET ITS
FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
CURRENT. AND FISCAL AND TO USE
FISCAL SUBSEQUENT YEARS AND
NEGATIVE CERTIFICATION MEANS OF
THE DISTRICT WILL NOT MEET.
ITS FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS FOR
THE CURRENT AND NEXT
SUBS.
HERE.
OFFICIAL RESULTS OF THE FIRST
INTERIM REPORTS WHICH WERE ALL
UMPS ADMITTED COUNTY OFFICES IN
DECEMBER ARE IN YOUR MATERIALS
AND ALL BRIEFLY ON A TALK ABOUT
THOSE IN A SECOND.
THE UNOFFICIAL RESULTS IN THE
SECOND INTERIM REPORTS WHICH
WERE DUE TO COUNTY OFFICES LAST.
THURSDAY.
ARE ATTACHED TO THE OUTLINE I'VE
GIVEN YOU.
AND UPDATE YOUR STAFF REPORT
DOME SINCE THAT DATE IS FRESH
AND HOT OFF THE PRESS.
THIS IS.
DATA THAT REFLECTS SELF CERT
COUNTY OFFICES HAVE NOT YET
REVIEWED THIS DATA SINCE IT WAS
ALL JUST SUBMITTED LAST
THURSDAY.
AND CERTAINLY THE CITY HAS NOT.
.
DONE ITS FINAL REVIEW OF THAT.
.
AND SO WE WE WANT TO KEEP THAT
IN MIND SO REFERRING TO THAT
DATA.
THAT'S IN THE OUTLINE THAT I'VE
GIVEN YOU.
AT FIRST THE INTERIM WE HAVE
FORTY TO QUALIFY DISTRICTS.
WHICH IS UP FROM THIRTY ONE AT
THE SAME POINT A YEAR AGO.
IT'S NOTABLE THAT SIX OF THOSE
FORTY TWO.
OR DOWNGRADES BY COUNTY OFFICE
AS OPPOSED TO SELF CERTIFICATION
SO SIX OF THOSE FORTY ONE.
WERE ORIGINALLY
SUBMITTED BY DISTRICTS AS
POSITIVE AND THROUGH THE COUNTY
OFFICE REVIEW PROCESS AND
FOLLOWING AB TWELVE HUNDREDS
CRITERION STANDARDS.
THERE'S DISTRICTS WERE
DOWNGRADED TO QUALIFY.
FOR.
DISTRICTS CERTIFIED NEGATIVE IN
THAT'S A INCREASE OF ONE.
WHAT'S NOTABLE HERE IS THAT ALL
FOR WHICH HAS BEEN THE CASE FOR
THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS WERE NEW
TO THE LIST.
AND I THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT FOR
YOU TO RECOGNIZE AND THAT IS
THAT THE AB TWELVE HUNDRED
PROCESS ACTUALLY WORKS WHEN I
DISTRICT ENDS UP ON THE NEGATIVE
LIST.
THERE ARE TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
RESOURCES THAT.
THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM TO
COME AROUND AND ASSIST THEM AND.
AND IN ALMOST ALL CASES WERE
ABLE TO TURN THE CORNER WITHOUT
DISTRICT.
WITHIN THE FISCAL YEAR AND SO
THAT'S WHY YOU SEE GENERAL IF
YOU COMPARED DISTRICT NAMES ON
THE NATIVE LISTS FROM YEAR TO
YEAR PERIOD TO PERIOD. YOU'LL
FIND IT'S ACTUALLY DIFFERENT
DISTRICTS.
I'VE LISTED THE FOR THEIR AND
I'LL TALK ABOUT A COUPLE OF
THESE IN JUST A MOMENT.
AT SECOND INTERMINABLE SIZES THE
UNOFFICIAL CSUS ARE SURVEY OF
COUNTY OFFICES.
EARLIER THIS WEEK.
YOU'LL NOTE THAT THE NUMBERS
DECREASE ON THE QUALIFIED SITE
FAIRLY SIGNIFICANTLY.
THIS IS A DIRECT RESPONSE TO THE
JANUARY ON BUDGET PROPOSAL BY
THE ADMINISTRATION. IN THAT ONCE
THEY'VE INCORPORATED.
THE FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF LCF
EFFORT NEXT YEAR NAM AND COLA
THAT INCREASE ACTUALLY HELP
STABILIZE DISTRICTS AND SO YOU
SEE THE INITIAL SELF
CERTIFICATIONS AT SECOND IN
ROOM.
I'M DROPPED TO TWENTY FOUR.
WE KNOW FROM CONVERSATIONS WITH
COUNTY OFFICES ABOUT FIVE
POSITIVE DISTRICTS MAY GET ADDED
TO THE QUALIFIED LIST WHEN
THEY'RE NOW SITS DOWN WHICH
WOULD. INCREASE THAT NUMBER
SLIGHTLY.
THERE TWO NEGATIVE DISTRICTS
DOWN FROM FOUR IN DECEMBER AND
NOW HIS OWN IMPORTANT.
THE ONLY TWO REMAINING ON THE
NATIVE LISTER INGLEWOOD.
A WHICH IS YOUR WELL WHERE'S
UNDER STATE ADMINISTRATION AND
FEATHER FALLS UNION ELEMENTARY
IN BUTTE COUNTY. AND ALL SPEAK
THE FEATHER FALLS AT THIS TIME
OF THIS IS A DISTRICT WITH
ROUGHLY TEN KIDS.
IT'S A K. EIGHT DISTRICT FIVE OF
THE TEN ARE IN SEVENTH GRADE.
THAT IS DISTRICT IN THE COUNTY
OFFICER WORKING TOGETHER SIMPLY
TO GET THROUGH NEXT YEAR WHEN
THOSE FIVE KIDS WOULD LEAVE
EIGHTH GRADE AND THERE FOR MOVE
ONTO THEIR HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AT THAT POINT THE DISTRICT WOULD
BE LEFT WITH FIVE KIDS AND IT
WOULD ACTUALLY CLOSE TO THERE'S
NO ANTICIPATION OF A NEED FOR AN
EMERGENCY APPROPRIATION OR. OR
STATE SUPPORT.
SPECIAL STATE SUPPORT FOR
FEATHER FALLS ON ONE OF ITS
NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS WILL
SIMPLY CONSOLIDATE.
ARM IN THAT THE COUNTY OFFICE IS
ACTUALLY SUPPORTING THEM
FINANCIALLY THIS YEAR AND
EXPECTS TO DO SO NEXT YEAR.
TO HOME TO SERVE THAT GROUP OF
KIDS SPECIFICALLY THE FIVE
SEVENTH GRADERS.
THERE IS ONE DISTRICT IN OUR
CONVERSATIONS WITH COUNTY
OFFICES THAT ARE CURRENTLY
QUALIFIED THAT WE BELIEVE THE
COUNTY MAY CHANGE TO NEGATIVE.
AND AND I'LL SPEAK TO THAT
DISTRICT IN JUST A MOMENT.
GONNA BACK UP TO FIRST INTERIM
BECAUSE I KNOW IT'S OF INTEREST
BOMBING THAT WOULD BE PASADENA
UNIFIED. PASADENA FILED A
NEGATIVE SELF CERTIFICATION AT
FIRST IN A ROOM IT WAS VERY MUCH
A SURPRISE TO ALL OF US TO
MONITOR THIS. WHOEVER REGULAR
CONVERSATIONS WITH DISTRICTS.
IT IS BOTH OUR BELIEF IN
FICHMAN OUT CERTAINLY THE BELIEF
IN THE LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE
OF ED. ON THAT THE DISTRICT WAS
NOT NEGATIVE THEY WERE QUALIFIED
BUT THEY WERE NOT NEGATIVE HOMES
A DISTRICT THAT DID NOT
UNDERSTAND AND APPRECIATE THE.
ARM.
THE RATING PROCESS AND KIND OF
THE STEPS THAT NORMALLY WOULD
WOULD BE INVOLVED IT IS A
DISTRICT THAT IS.
HAS SOME FISCAL DISTRESS
HOWEVER THEY ARE TAKING THE
ACTION AND I DON'T.
I DON'T EXPECT THEM.
THERE.
THAT'LL BE A NEED FOR ANY TYPE
OF INTERVENTION THERE.
WANT TO MOVE NOW TO.
SCHOOL DISTRICT FISCAL
EMERGENCIES IN A CONVERSATION.
ABOUT THEM.
THE FIRST WOULD BE INGLEWOOD
ISSUE AWARE OF WE ARE IN.
.
BASICALLY YOU'RE FIVE MOVING
INTO YOUR SIX OF STATE
ADMINISTRATION IN INGLEWOOD.
.
MOST OF US THAT ARE INVOLVED IN
INGLEWOOD ON A REGULAR BASIS.
BELIEVE THAT THE BEST
OPPORTUNITY THEY'VE HAD TO TURN
THE CORNER IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS IS THIS YEAR.
AND ARM OUR ANALYSIS AT
INGLEWOOD IS JUST BEGUN WE HAVE.
I'M DONE OUR FIELD WORK IN THE
LAST COUPLE WEEKS ON.
.
A PERSONNEL. WE'VE DONE OUR
FIELD WORK ON GOVERNANCE IN
COMMITTEE RELATIONS AND LAST
WEEK WE DID OUR FIELD WORK ON
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
I'M THE FIRST TO PERSONNEL IN A
COMMUNITY AND.
GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE RELATIONS
HAVE BEEN THEIR STRONGEST AREAS
OF THE FIVE OPERATIONAL AREAS
THAT WE REVIEW.
ON FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS SO
WE CERTAINLY EXPECT THAT THEY'VE
CONTINUE TO MAKE PROGRESS IN
THOSE AREAS.
WE'VE BEEN VERY DISAPPOINTED
WITH A PUPIL ACHIEVEMENT IN THE
PASS UT OUR TEAM THAT WAS THERE
LAST WEEK POEM. REVIEWING THE US
PUPIL ACHIEVEMENT ARM SAHGAL
IMMERSE OF HOPE AND SOME
POSITIVE ELEMENTS IN SO THAT'S
ENCOURAGING.
THE TO OPERATIONAL AREAS TO
DISTRICT STRUGGLE THE MOST WITH
WHICH IS FINANCE WHICH COURSE
GOT HIM TO STATE CONTROL AND
PARKED START WITH. AND
FACILITIES.
THEY STILL HAVE A LONG WAYS TO
GO AND WE WILL BE IN THE
DISTRICT STUDY IN THOSE AREAS.
A HOME IN THE OVER THE COURSE OF
THE NEXT MONTH OR REPORT A. CARS
ARE SIX REPORT WILL BE OUT ON IN
THE SUMMER. WE DO BELIEVE THAT
THE RIGHT TEAM IS IN PLACE THAT
CAN TURN THE CORNER IN INGLEWOOD
I THINK IF THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN
THIS YEAR.
OBVIOUSLY OF OURSELVES AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF ED AND OTHERS.
WILL WILL NEED TO SIT DOWN AND
FIGURE OUT. A LITTLE DIFFERENT
STRATEGY I SUSPECT.
DISTRICTS AT RISK OF RD SPOKEN
ABOUT THE NEGATIVE
CERTIFICATIONS INGLEWOOD AND.
.
FEATHER FALLS UNION.
BUT LET ME SPEAK TO SOME OTHER
DISTRICTS THAT ARE ON THE CUSP
AND THAT ARE CERTAINLY OF
CONCERN TO US.
FIRST IS YOU SOMEBODY.
UNIFIED K. TWELVE DISTRICT.
.
TWENTY ONE HUNDRED STUDENTS
ABOUT AN EIGHTEEN MILLION DOLLAR
BUDGET FORTY EIGHT PERCENT AND
DUPLICATED.
AT THE REQUEST THE MADERA COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT FITMENT SPIT OUT
AN INTERVENTION STAFF PRESENT IN
THE DISTRICT SEVERAL DAYS A
WEEK.
FOR OVER TWO MONTHS
THE DISTRICTS CRITICAL
LEADERSHIP STAFF WERE NEW EARLY
THIS YEAR AND HAVE ALL DEPARTED
THAT INCLUDE SUPERINTENDENT
BUSINESS OFFICIAL. ON OTHER
SENIOR STAFF.
STARTED THE YEAR AS NEW FOLKS
IN THE DISTRICT BUT BY.
BY THE HOLIDAYS HAD BY ME MID.
MID FISCAL YEAR HAD ALREADY LEFT
THE DISTRICT.
THERE'S AN INTERIM
SUPERINTENDENT INTERIM BUSINESS
STAFF.
A FISCAL ADVISER SIGNED BY THE
COUNTY AND AND OURSELVES THAT
HAVE BEEN IN THE DISTRICT
ASSISTING THEM.
A GREAT DEAL OF WORK HAS BEEN
ACCOMPLISHED IN THE LAST SIXTY
DAYS.
FINAL IMPLEMENTATION OF THEIR
FISCAL RECOVERY PLAN IS UNDER
WAY.
THE DISTRICT SELF CERTIFIED
THEIR SECOND INERMIS QUALIFIED.
HOWEVER WE BELIEVE THAT THEIR
DATA IN THEIR SELF IN THEIR
SECOND IN A ROOM.
PROBABLY JUSTIFIES THAT THEY
STAY ON THE NEGATIVE LISTS WHICH
IS WHERE THEY WERE FIRST IN A
ROOM. AND TELL THEIR FISCAL
RECOVERY PLAN IS FULLY
IMPLEMENTED.
THE DISTRICT CONTINUES A VERY
MENTION THIS CONTINUES TO HAVE
AN APPOINTED FISCAL ADVISER BY
THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
WE ARE HOPEFUL WE BELIEVE.
THE MOST DIFFICULT PIECE OF THE
WORK THEY NEEDED TO DO TO HOME
RIGHT THE SHIP HAS BEEN DONE AND
THE BOARDS ACTED ON THAT. A WERE
JUST GOING THROUGH THE STAGES
NOW OF IMPLEMENTING MATTER THE
DISTRICT IS IMPLEMENTING OUT AND
ASSUMING THEY STAY ON TRACK WE
CERTAINLY EXPECT OF HIM. VOWED
THAT THEY WILL BE HOME A IN MUCH
BETTER SHAPE.
THE NEXT DISTRICT THAT'S NOT ON
THE NEGATIVE LISTS THAT I THINK
IS WORTHY OF MENTIONING IS
KLAMATH TRINITY AND HUMBOLDT
COUNTY. ENROLLMENT OF ROUGHLY
THOUSAND STUDENTS FIFTEEN HALF
MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET THEIR K.
TWELVE DISTRICT WITH AN EIGHTY
FIVE PERCENT AND DUPLICATED. ON
STUDENT POPULATION.
THINK THAT'S BEEN PROVIDING
SUPPORT TO THE COUNTY OFFICE OF
SINCE THE FALL IN ANALYZING A
CASH FLOW FOR THIS DISTRICT.
WHILE THE DISTRICTS GENERAL FUND
OPERATIONS HAVE BEEN STABLE THE
DISTRICT IS IN THE MIDST OF
SIGNIFICANT SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION
AND MODERNIZATION. I'M TO
MITIGATE MOLD ISSUES.
.
THE DISTRICTS QUALIFY NEWS BEEN
RECEIVING SIGNIFICANT HARDSHIP
FUNDING FROM THE STATE
ALLOCATION BOARD HOWEVER THE
DISTRICT HAS NOT SCOPED ITS
CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN LINE
WITH THAT FUNDING. THEY'VE
ACTUALLY AWARDED CONTRACTS FOR
SCOPE THAT IS WELL IN EXCESS OF
WHAT THE FUNDING SUPPORTS.
WHICH EXPOSES THE DISTRICTS ARM
GENERAL FUND OBVIOUSLY THIS
FINANCIAL RISK AND CERTAINLY
CASH FLOW DIFFICULTIES
WHICH IS WHY WE HAVE FOCUSED OUR
ATTENTION AND THE COUNTY HOUSE.
ON CASH FLOW.
THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT HAS
PLACED EXPERIENCE SCHOOL
CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM MANAGER
WHICH ALSO A RETIRED SCHOOL
SUPERINTENDENT. SO WELL A WELL
VERSED INDIVIDUAL IN THE
DISTRICT HARM.
TO ASSIST THE DISTRICT AND
PROVIDE ANALYSISAND COUNSEL THE
DISTRICT BOMB AS YOU CAN SEE
FROM THE LIST SELF CERTIFIED
QUALIFIED BOTH AT FIRST INTERIM
IN AGAIN AT SECOND INTERIM. OUR
BASED ON OUR MOST RECENT CASH
FLOW ANNOUNCES THE DISTRICT MAY
NOT BE ABLE TO MEET ALL OF ITS
CASH OBLIGATIONS GOING FORWARD
WITHOUT SIGNIFICANT. CORRECTIVE
ACTION
THEY ARE WELL AWARE THAT THIS IS
A COUNTY THAT IS ON ACTIVELY
BEEN ENGAGED.
THE DISTRICT HAS BEEN FRANKLY
SLOW TO RESPOND OF BUT I SUSPECT
HOME IF THE COUNTY.
CONTINUES ITS ACTIVE
INVOLVEMENT OF THAT BUT ALSO
WILL CORRECT.
NEXT DISTRICT I WANNA SPEAK
ABOUT HIS OAKLAND UNIFIED.
OAKLAND OF THIRTY SEVEN THOUSAND
DISTRICT ENROLLMENTS OBVIOUSLY
MUCH LARGER WITH CHARTER
ENROLLMENT.
OF FIVE OR FIFTY THREE MILLION
DOLLAR ROUGHLY GENERAL BUDGET K.
TWELVE. SEVENTY EIGHT PERCENT
AND DUPLICATED STUDENT
POPULATION.
AS THE COMMITTEES WELL AWARE OF
OAKLAND RECEIVED A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR EMERGENCY
PREPARATION FROM THE STATE IN
TWO THOUSAND THREE. THE DISTRICT
MADE SUFFICIENT PROGRESS TO
JUSTIFY THE RESTORATION OF LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS.
IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT.
THERE IS A PROBLEMS.
SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC
CONSTRUCTION APPOINTED STATE
TRUSTEE WORKING WITH THE LOCAL
TEAM IN OAKLAND HAD BEEN ONE IN
PLACE THROUGH JUNE THERE'S A
NEW.
STATE TRUST IN PLACE SINCE JULY
ONE IN AND I WOULD SAY THAT WE
HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE IN THAT
NEW TRUSTEE.
AT THE REQUEST OF THE DISTRICT
A FIGMENT CONDUCTED A FISCAL
HEALTH RISK ANALYSIS LAST SUMMER
IN CONCLUDED THAT THE DISTRICT
SHOWED SIGNS OF FISCAL DISTRESS.
AT THE REQUEST OF THE ALAMEDA
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT AND THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE
THAT MAN HAS BEEN IN OAKLAND
SINCE JANUARY PROVIDING
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE IN AN
EFFORT TO ASCERTAIN.
A TRUE FINANCIAL POSITION OF THE
DISTRICT FOR BOTH BUDGET FUND
BALANCE AND ALSO CASH FLOW.
FOR THE CURRENT YEAR.
FITMENT WILL BE PROVIDING IN IN
ARM STATUS REPORT IN BRIEFING TO
THE DPARTMENT FINANCE THE
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT AND
OAKLAND UST TOMORROW. WHILE WE
HAVE NOT COMPLETED OUR ANALYSIS
ARE PRELIMINARY CONCLUSION IS
THAT THE DISTRICT HAS SUFFICIENT
CASH RESOURCES. FOR THE CURRENT
YEAR BUT IS ABSOLUTELY IN
FINANCIAL DISTRESS AND MUST TAKE
SIGNIFICANT CORRECTIVE ACTION TO
STABILIZE ITS FUND BALANCE AND
CASH FLOW FOR THE SUBSEQUENT
YEARS THEY HAVE STARTED THAT
PROCESS.
THE I SUSPECT ARE GOING TO NEED
CONTINUED SUPPORT AND NUDGING
FROM ALL OF US.
TOO AGAIN OUT ENSURE THAT
THEY'RE THEY'RE STABLE.
THEY DO HAVE AN OUTSTANDING.
A SIGNIFICANT OUTSTANDING.
PORTION BALANCE OF THE ORIGINAL
HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR LOAN.
CONSIDER STABILITY OBVIOUSLY IS
A PRIMARY CONCERN TO ALL OF US.
RETURNING BACK TO MY.
OUTLINED.
SOLVENCY TRENDS I THINK MOST OF
THESE BULLET POINTS REALLY SPEAK
TO THEMSELF AND CERTAINLY.
THE COMMITTEES AWARE OF IT AND
AND
AND PRESENTATIONS EVEN FOLLOW
ME.
ON THIS MORNING FROM FINANCING
THE ILIO.
WILL LEAD TO SOME OF THESE.
I'M SCHOOL DISTRICTS ELEAZAR
CONTINUE TO FACE COST PRESSURES.
INCLUDING PENSIONS AND SPECIAL
EDUCATION. ON THE ISSUE WITH
SPECIAL EDUCATION COURSE VARIES
WIDELY ARM FROM ACROSS DISTRICTS
BUT OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF OUR
DISTRICTS ARE DECLINING
ENROLLMENT ON THEIR STATE
SPECIAL ED REVENUE. STREAM IS
TIED TO TOTAL ENROLLMENT SO WHY
THEY MAY BE DECLINING THEIR
SPECIAL THAT POPULATION IS NOT
DECLINING THEN THEREFORE. ON
COSTS STATE THE SAME ARE
ACTUALLY ARE INCREASING WHILE
REVENUES DECREASING WHICH ADDS
COST PRESSURES TO THE
UNRESTRICTED GENERAL FUND.
WERE FAMILIAR OBVIOUSLY WITH
PENSIONS AND I CAN SPEAK TO THAT
MORE DETAIL ON ANY ANSWERS TO
QUESTIONS.
THE JANUARY BUDGET PROPOSAL FROM
THE ADMINISTRATION PROVIDES
ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO MITIGATE
THESE PRESSURES. ON NEXT YEAR.
CERTAINLY IN THE MINISTRATIONS
PROPOSAL IS BETTER VERY
BENEFICIAL TO
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN HELPING
THEM.
WITH THOSE ISSUES.
AS THE COMMITTEE IS WELL AWARE
OF OWNED THE STATE HAS
APPROPRIATED OVER SIX BILLION
DOLLARS SO FAR IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS AND ONE TIME FUNDS.
TO.
TO ELEAZAR THAT CERTAINLY HAS
PRESENTED AN OPPORTUNITY TO
MITIGATE KNOWN ADVERSE TRENDS IN
DISTRICTS THAT CHOOSE TO PLAN
FOR THE LONG TERM.
A MANY DISTRICTS MAY HAVE GONE
THROUGH A DECISION PROCESS TO
PRIORITIZE THOSE EXPENDITURES
AND THERE'S NO QUESTION. THAT
THERE WERE A LOT OF PENT UP
DEMANDS FOR DEFERRED MAINTENANCE
TECHNOLOGY REFRESH TEXTBOOK
ADOPTIONS AND LOTS OF THINGS
THAT ARE APPROPRIATE FOR ONE
BUT OUR ONLY CRITICISM OF
DISTRICTS WOULD BE IF THEY
DIDN'T TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION
THINGS LIKE PUBLIC PENSION
IMPACTS
WHEN THEY WERE DECIDING HOW TO
UTILIZE THOSE ONETIME MONEY'S.
NOT OFTEN THAT WE RECOMMEND
USING ONE TIME FUNDS FOR
RECURRING ITEMS BUT THEY COULD
HAVE CERTAINLY.
STRUCTURED SOME OF THOSE ONE
TIME MONIES IN TRUST ACCOUNTS OR
OTHER THINGS THAT WOULD HAVE
HELPED. MITIGATE THE PENSION
IMPACT OF HOME SHORTLY OVER THE
FIRST DECADE OR SO OF IT.
WE CERTAINLY DON'T CRITICIZE
DISTRICTS THAT.
CONSIDERED THAT BUT MADE A LOCAL
DECISION.
NOT TO PUT THAT ONE TIME MONEY
INTO A HOME THINGS LIKE PENSION
MITIGATE COSTS MITIGATION THEY
CHOSE TO PUT IT IN DEFERRED
MAINTENANCE OR OTHER HIGH
PRIORITY NEEDS.
OUR ONLY REQUEST OF THEM IS TO.
IS TO THINK ABOUT IT TO PLAN
APPROPRIATELY AND TO KNOW HOW
THEY'RE GOING TO ACT.
MULTI YOUR PROJECTION CHAU
DEFICIT TRENDS BEYOND NEXT YEAR
AGAIN NEXT YEAR WITH THE
ADMINISTRATION'S BUDGET
PROPOSALS.
VERY POSITIVE BUT BEYOND THAT.
CERTAINLY THESE COST PRESSURES
ON CONTINUE.
SO LONG TERM PERSPECTIVE IS
ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL
WE TELL DISTRICTS OVER AND OVER
AND OVER AGAIN DO NOT MAKE A
DECISION WITHOUT LOOKING AT THE
IMPACT LONG TERM.
NEXT YEAR IN A VERY POSITIVE
YEAR ON IS A CONCERN TO US
CANDIDLY NOT BECAUSE IT'S
POSITIVE BUT BECAUSE OF LOOKING
AT HISTORY AND HOW. DISTRICTS
MAKE DECISIONS IN THOSE POSITIVE
YEARS. MY PREDECESSOR JOE
MONTERO HAVE SAID FOR YEARS
THAT.
GOODNESS BAD DECISIONS IN GOOD
TIMES SO IT COMES BACK AND BITES
US IN THE TAIL IN THOSE.
DIFFICULT YEARS AND WE CERTAINLY
SEE SOME DIFFICULT YEARS OUT
AHEAD.
COST CONTAINMENT IN THIS NEW
WORLD OF.
LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY
PLANS LOOKS A LITTLE DIFFERENT
THAN COST CONTAINMENT HAS IN THE
PAST.
HOWEVER I THINK DISTRICTS SELL
THE EL CAP SHORT WHEN THEY DON'T
CONSIDERED AS A BUDGET TOOL. ARE
IT HELPS FOCUS IT HELPS BRING
FOCUS.
DON'T DEVELOPER NO CAP TEN GOALS
IF YOU CAN AFFORD.
TWO OR THREE AND DO THOSE TWO OR
THREE REALLY REALLY WELL.
WITH THE RESOURCES THAT YOU
HAVE AND SO WE CERTAINLY SEE THE
ALL CAP AS A TOOL FOR THEM TO
USE IN THAT. CONVERSATION THAT
THE HIVE LOCALLY ABOUT COST
CONTAINMENT.
GONNA CHANGE TOPICS EVER SO
SLIGHTLY. AND CONCLUDE WITH
TALKING ABOUT AB ONE THIRTY NINE
EXTRAORDINARY AUDIT TRENDS
IS A COMMITTEES AWARE ARE FIFTY
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS UNDER THE
IT COULD HAVE THE EXCLUSIVE
AUTHORITY.
TO CALL UPON HOME.
I US TWO WHEN THERE'S AN
ALLEGATION OF FRAUD
MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS OR
OTHER ILLEGAL FISCAL ACTIVITIES
IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT OR CHARTER
SCHOOL.
ARM AND WE DO THOSE INITIAL
INVESTIGATIONS ARMAR THRESHOLD
IS FAIRLY LOW IN DETERMINING
WHETHER THERE'S EVIDENCE THEY'RE
NOT. AND IF THERE IS THEN THE
CODE PROVIDES DIRECTION OF
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT ON THEIR
NEXT STEPS WHICH COURSE INCLUDES
LAW ENFORCEMENT. WITHIN
HISTORICALLY COME ALONG SIDE OF
LAW ENFORCEMENT AFTER THAT TO
SUPPORT THEM IN THEIR WORK.
BASED ON THE FINDINGS THAT WE
HAVE IN THAT THE DETAIL ON OUR
OUR EXPERT KNOWLEDGE OF OF THE
OPERATIONS SCHOOL DISTRICT.
WHILE LITTLE CONFUSING THEY ARE
PROVIDED YOU HISTORY OF FUN
ACTIVITY ON OF COUNTS OF AB ONE
THIRTY NINE SO GOOD THING IS
IT'S A VERY SMALL PIECE OF OUR
WORK.
.
THE.
MAYBE I DON'T KNOW WHAT SAT ON A
QUITE CALLED THE BAND THING
MAYBE THE GLOOMY THING THAT'S
PROBABLY IT.
TECHNICAL FINANCIAL TERMS AT
THIS POINT GLOOMY.
.
BUT YOU CAN SEE THAT THOSE
NUMBERS ARE TURNING UP.
SO FAR THIS YEAR WE ARE ENGAGED
IN SEVENTEEN AB ONE THIRTY NINE
AUDIT.
OUR PREVIOUS PEAK.
FOR A WHOLE YEAR WAS TEN AND WE
ARE NOT THROUGH THE END OF THE
YEAR.
ARM
I OFTEN IN SPEAKING TO GROUPS
DESCRIBE THIS TREND.
.
AS A CRISIS IN ETHICS AND A
CRISIS IN INTEGRITY IT'S A
OBVIOUSLY CONCERN TO US.
WHEN WE ARE IN DISTRICTS.
LOOKING AT THIS
THE COMPLEXITY OF THESE MATTERS
IS INCREASING.
THEY ULTIMATELY ALWAYS GET BACK
TO LEADERSHIP AND GOVERNANCE
THAT TONE THAT SAID AT THE TOP.
ON THAT ALLOWS FOR THAT AND
CERTAINLY INTERNAL CONTROL
ISSUES.
THEY DEAL WITH BOTH OPERATIONAL
MATTERS AND BOND PROGRAM MATTERS
HOMES ON THE FACILITY SIDE
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES.
DIFFERENT IN THE CURRENT YEAR
TREND THEN THE PAST COUPLE YEARS
THE PAST COUPLE YEARS THE
MAJORITY OF THE TRENDING UP HAS
BEEN IN CHARTER SCHOOLS.
THIS YEAR OF THE SEVENTEEN ONLY
FOR CHARTER SCHOOLS.
THE REST ARE HOME IF YOU WILL
REGULAR.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
OUR WORK IN THIS REGARD.
IS GENERATING THE ATTENTION OF
A NUMBER OF STATE AND FEDERAL
LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES AND
OTHERS US DEPARTMENT OF ED AND
OTHERS THAT HAVE. ON POWERS
BEYOND US INCLUDING SUBPOENA
POWERS AND OTHER POWERS THEY'RE
HELPFUL THEY OFTEN COME IN AND
LOOK AT OUR WORK WHEN WERE
COMPLETE. AND TAKE IT TO THE
NEXT STEP AND SO ON IT DOES
ULTIMATELY BRING SOME
RESOLUTION.
.
BUT THE TREND CERTAINLY IS OF OF
CONCERN.
WITH THAT MISTER CHAIRMAN.
BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS
.
A LIST.
IT RATING
EVER.
ABOUT.
AND.
QUALIFIED.
I I DON'T.
CHART AND.
AND THERE'S JUST A LOT OF DISK.
HERE.
I MOVE UP SOME.
STAY IN.
SECURITY CURIOUS.
YOU GET OFF.
THE NEGATIVE LIST AND
AND DISAPPEAR IN ONE YEAR.
OPPOSED TO MOVING TO QUALIFY.
SO I THINK THE FIRST THING TO
HELP CLARIFY IS THIS IS A
PROGRESSIVE SYSTEM SEE START
WITH POSITIVE YOU MOVED TO
QUALIFY TO MOVE THE NEGATIVE IT
IS SELDOM THAT YOU MOVE FARTHER
AWAY FROM POSITIVE TO NEGATIVE.
IN ONE REPORTING PERIOD THAT
THAT CAN HAPPEN THAT WE SAW THAT
HAPPEN IN PASADENA BUT FOR ALL
THE WRONG REASONS IT WASN'T
FACTUAL.
.
WHICH YOU OF COURSE WAS THE
SURPRISE RIGHT.
FOR PASADENA OR FOR.
ALL OF US MAY NOT BEEN ITS PRICE
PASADENA BUT IT WAS TO ALL OF
US.
SO IT'S NORMALLY UP A
PROGRESSION AIRY PROCESS.
MOVING UP THAT LISTER DOWN THAT
LIST DEPEND ON YOUR PERSPECTIVE
IT'S ALSO. A PROGRESSION TO GO
THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION GENERALLY
WE SEE YOUR FROM NEGATIVE TO
QUALIFIED.
TO.
BACK TO POSITIVE
ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS FOR THE
LIST CHANGING ON THE NEGATIVE
YOU'RE OVER HERE AS I ALLUDED TO
EARLIER IS. THAT
BY THE TIME YOU'VE GOTTEN A
NEGATIVE WE'VE MANY OF US HAVE
ALREADY BEEN ACTIVELY INVOLVED
IN YOUR DISTRICT FIRST AND
FOREMOST. IT'S OUR COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS THAT HAVE THE
FIRST RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT
INTERVENTION.
AND THEY KNOW THEY'RE DISTRICTS
WELL THEY'RE ACTIVELY INVOLVED
IN THAT PROCESS WHEN A COUNTY
NEEDS ADDED ASSISTANCE WERE WHO
THEY TURN TO AND WE COME ALONG
FIRST.
SUPPORT THEIR WORK.
SOMETIMES THEN WE'LL TAKE THAT
EXTRA STEP AND ACTUALLY.
GO DIRECTLY TO THE DISTRICT AND
A FISCAL CRISIS MODE AND SUPPORT
THEM BY GIVING EXAMPLE OF YOU
SOMEBODY WHERE WE ACTUALLY HAVE
HAD STAFF EMBEDDED. AN
INTERVENTION STAFF EMBEDDED IN
THE DISTRICT FOR THE LAST.
COUPLE MONTHS.
.
IN ALL OF THAT'S IN AN EFFORT TO
GET THE DISTRICT NUMBER ONE TO
TRULY.
QUANTIFY WHERE THEY'RE OUT NO
WITH THIS GAP IS THAT HAS PUT
THE CREATED SOME DISTRESS IN
FISCAL INSTABILITY. HAVE A GOOD
HANDLE ON THEIR EXPENSES MAKE
SURE THEIR REVENUES PINK COMP
COMPUTED CORRECTLY AND SO ON.
ARM AND THEN TO HELP.
DEVELOPING A FOR LACK OF BETTER
TERM WE CAUGHT A FISCAL RECOVERY
PLAN WHICH IS OPENLY TO CLOSE
THAT GAP AND TURN THINGS AROUND.
THERE AREN'T DISTRICTS OUT THERE
THAT DESIRED TO GO NEGATIVE
THERE AREN'T DISTRICTS OUT THEIR
DESIRE TO STAY NEGATIVE AND SO
THERE'S YOU GENERALLY A LOT OF
MOTIVATION. CERTAINLY FROM A
GOVERNING BOARDS PERSPECTIVE IF
THEY DON'T MIND THE SHOP ONCE
THEY'RE NEGATIVE THE NEXT STEP
OF INTERVENTION.
IS OFFICE IS CASH INSOLVENCY
WHICH MEANS. WE'RE GOING TO BE.
COLLECTIVELY WE'RE GOING TO BE
HERE IN THIS BUILDING HAVING A
CONVERSATION WITH YOU AND AND
YOUR. YOUR COLLEAGUES ABOUT
EMERGENCY PREPARATION AND AS YOU
KNOW WHEN THAT HAPPENS IN MOST
CASES ALTHOUGH THERE'S SOME
THRESHOLDS.
THOSE LOCAL ELECTED BOARD LOSES
ITS GOVERNMENT LOSES ITS
AUTHORITY GOVERNANCE AUTHORITY
THAT TRANSFERS TO THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT.
SO.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS DON'T DESIRE
SEARCHLIGHT MOTIVATION THERE FOR
THEM TO TURN THE CORNER.
THERE'S A LOT OF WORK THERE'S A
LOT OF EXPERTISE THAT CMES IN
ALONG THEIR SIDE NOT ONLY THE
COUNTY OFFICE OURSELVES. PHONE
BUT YOU KNOW A VARIETY OF
ORGANIZATIONS AS I WOULD BE TO
MY OPENING COMMENTS ABOUT SCHOOL
SERVICES.
FOLKS LIKE SCHOOL SERVICES WHO
MAY COME IN AS WELL AND PROVIDE
THEM ASSISTANCE.
THERE ARE A VARIETY OF REASONS
WHY A DISTRICT GETS TO NEGATIVE.
IT COULD BE.
IT COULD BE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING. HARM BUT GENERALLY
NOT.
THAT'S NOT REALLY THE PUSH RIGHT
DISTRICT HAS COMPLETE CONTROL
OVER THAT.
IT COULD BE EITHER COST
PRESSURES IT COULD BE DECLINING
ENROLMENT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE
FIFTY PERCENT OF OUR DISTRICTS
IN DECLINING ENROLLMENT.
DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH THE CLAIM
ROOM WHEN YOU LOSE.
A HANDFUL OF STUDENTS EACH YEAR
YOUR EXPENSES DO NOT GO DOWN.
RELATIONSHIP TO THE REVENUE LOSS
YES THERE IS A SOFT LANDING IN
THAT WE GET TO. USE THE PRIOR
YEARS.
.
ENROLLMENT IN A. D. A AVERAGE
DAILY ATTENDANCE FOR THE REVENUE
CALCULATION BUT ULTIMATELY THAT
CATCHES UP TO YOU IF YOU LOSE A
COUPLE KIDS AT EACH GRADE LEVEL.
IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT YOU'RE NOT
TRIMMING THE COST OF A TEACHER
RIGHT AND YET THAT'S OUR LARGEST
SINGLE COST A AND APPROPRIATELY
SO THAT'S HOW WE. ACHIEVE OUR
MISSION AND GET OUR WORK DONE
HIS WITH THE TEACHER INTERACTING
WITH KIDS.
AND SO.
OFTENTIMES.
THAT ASSISTANCE IF THEY GET.
IT MAY TAKE SOMETIME THEIR OF
THEIR LABOR ASSOCIATION MAY COME
RIGHT ALONGSIDE THEM AND
PARTICIPATE IN THAT PROCESS IN
MOST CASES.
MAYBE OF AND MAKE SOME
CONCESSIONS HELP WITHOUT PROCESS
WHICH THEN ALLOWS THEM TO MOVE
FROM NEGATIVE
TO QUALIFIED AND ULTIMATELY ON
TRACK.
CITY
SO. I THINK THE.
SIR MORE OF WHAT YOU'RE SEEN IN
DISTRICTS HITTING WILL THAT
NATIVE LISTING COMING BACK IS
REALLY A RESULT OF THE SYSTEM
WORKING WELL.
AS OPPOSED TO SOMETHING NOT
WORKING.
RELATED TO ME.
STATION
FIRST IS.
FEATHER FALLS UNION.
VIEW.
HAD.
STUDENTS
IT'S GOING DOWN TO
I'VE BEEN SO.
IT IT SEEMS TO ME THERE SHOULD
BE SOME KIND OF MINIMUM.
THRESHOLD OR ROOF WHERE WE GOT
THE FORCE A CONSOLIDATION I I
CERTAINLY HAVE GO IGNORED CAM
YES EIGHT YEARS AND WE DON'T
TOUCH SCHOOLS WE JUST. DEAL WITH
CITIES IN THE COUNTY.
BUT
IT SEEMS LIKE THIS IS AN AREA
FOR MAYBE A LEGISLATIVE.
APPROACH ACTUALLY THERE'S
ALREADY.
CODE SECTIONS AND ONE OF
MY-COLLEAGUES SITTING BEHIND ME
WILL HAVE TO REMIND ME BUT I
BELIEVE IT'S TEN.
FIND THE ANSWER.
ORG.
CD KAREN MAYBE I THINK IT'S TEN
ACTUALLY THAT TRIGGERS THAT
PROCESS AND AS YOU'RE AWARE TEN
STUDENTS
YES.
SIX THANK YOU STUDENTS
THANK YOU SO HELP ME I MEAN YOU
KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE COME FROM
BIG METROPOLITAN AREAS SO.
THAT JUST DOESN'T.
YOU HAVE MORE TRUSTEES THEN
YOU'D HAVE STUDENTS.
WHICH COULD BE A SERIOUS PROBLEM
RIGHT.
IT JUST IT JUST BAFFLES ME
WHY NOT.
THOUSAND.
SO.
SO AND FEATHER FALLS IS A GREAT
EXAMPLE THIS IS VERY RULE REMOTE
DISTRICT.
.
CONSOLIDATION FOR THE WHAT WILL
BE THE FIVE OR SO REMAINING
KIDS.
.
AFTER NEXT YEAR PHAM MEANS THAT
THEY'RE PROBABLY GOING TO.
TWO DRIVER BE TRANSPORTED THE
LONG DISTANCE TO THE NEW SCHOOL
THAT'S GOING TO SERVE THEM.
RIGHT THE ZORD OFTENTIMES THESE
KIND OF ENVIRONMENTS ARE SINGLE
SCHOOL DISTRICT WOULD STILL HAVE
THE SCHOOL RIGHT YOU'RE.
RICHARD YOU'RE GOVERNING BODY
WOULD BE.
SUMMER OUT FOR YOUR YOUR YOUR
BOUNDARY WOULD BE LARGER SO I I
GET YOUR POINT COMPLETELY I
DON'T DISAGREE EXCEPT THAT THE
REAL COST OF EDUCATION IS NOT
THE. DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION IS
NOT THE GOVERNING PROCESS IT'S
THE SUPPORT IN THE CLASSROOM
IT'S THE TEACHER NUMBER FIRST
AND FOREMOST IT'S THE TEACHER.
IT'S THE SUPPORT STRUCTURE THAT
WE NEED IF ONE OF THOSE SIX WAS
A SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENT THE OUT
ITS SUPPORT FOR THAT. AND SO ON
AND SO IT IS SCHOOL CENTRIC OUR
COSTS ARE SCHOOL IN THIS. IN
THIS BUSINESS ARE COST HER
SCHOOL CENTRIC.
THE BULK OF THE COST DO NOT
EXIST.
AWAY FROM THE SIGNAL IS REALLY
AND WE MAKE COST CENTER THEM
AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL BUT THE
TRUE DRIVERS OF THOSE COSTS. ARE
ARE ALL SCHOOL CENTURY.
AND SO THE KEY HERE IS
CONSOLIDATION AND CONSOLIDATION
UNFORTUNATELY IN THIS CASE MEANS
THE CLOSURE OF A SCHOOL.
.
AND AND THE TRANSPORTATION F
THOSE REMAINING STUDENTS
SECOND THOUGHT IS.
LOOKING AT US A INGLEWOOD.
AND LOOKING AT OAKLAND WHICH YOU
BROUGHT UP HIS THAT YOU KNOW
WHAT KIND OF. RELATIONSHIP DO
THEY HAVE WITH THE GOVERNING
BOARDS OF THEIR CITIES. BUT I
LOOK AT INGLEWOOD AND OUT OF
FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY TWO CITIES
IT RANKS FOR SEVENTY ONE SO IT'S
A MIKE IN THE BOB BOTTOM DOZEN.
OAKLAND IS FOR SEVENTY NINE OUT
OF FORTY TWO SO IT'S LIKE AT
THE.
BOTTOM LINE EVEN SEE THE CITY
BEING ABLE TO STEP UP TO HELP
THE DISTRICT BUT IS OUR PROCESS
WERE. THERE SOME KIND OF
COLLABORATION.
WELL. THEY'RE ALL FORMS OF
COLLABORATION BETWEEN SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN THEIR LOCAL
MINISTER POWER THESE CITIES
COUNTY SPECIAL DISTRICTS OF ALL
KINDS.
THAT IS VERY COMMON PRACTICE
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS.
SAFE PATHS TO SCHOOL.
LOTS OF COOPERATION ON IN THAT
FINANCIAL SUPPORT NOT SO MUCH
THERE ARE SOME EXCEPTIONS.
I THINK IN CENTER ALAN'S.
AREA SANTA MONICA MALIBU
RECEIVE SOME SUPPORT FROM IT ONE
OF ITS CITIES. IN SAN FRANCISCO
ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WHICH A
COURSE SHE KNOWS OF BOTH SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND A COUNTY OFFICE. I
RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM ITS CITY
SLASH COUNTY AS WELL.
LIKE MY NOT IN MY DISTRICT.
PAYS FOR ALL THE FIELD.
A LOT A JOINT USE ARRANGEMENTS.
AND THOSE TYPES OF THINGS BUT
BUT DIRECT FINANCIAL SUPPORT
ISN'T A. SUCH AS A CONTRIBUTION
A MULTI MILLION DOLLAR
CONTRIBUTION ISN'T CARMEN.
IT IT WOULD BE THE EXCEPTION.
THEN THE LAST QUESTION WOULD BE.
GOOD SAID IT STRONGLY A COUPLE
TIMES TO MAYBE MORE ON LONG TERM
PLANS YES SO I'VE. SEA ISSUE AND
YOU SEE TO GIVE ME TEN YEAR.
PLANS LIKE WE DID THE COUNTY WE
HAD A TEN YEAR STRATEGIC
FINANCIAL PLAN AND IT'S LIKE.
I'M GETTING LIKE NOTHING.
NO NOT THEN AND I'M JUST
WONDERING DO WE NEED TO PUT A
LOT PLACE TO SAID HEY IF WE LOOK
AT YOUR. BUDGETS AND WE LOOK AT
THE TRENDS AND WE TOSS THEM OUT
FOR THE NEXT TEN YEARS HERE'S
WHERE YOUR CASH FLOWS GONNA BE
HERE TO REVENUES ARE YOUR
EXPENSES.
I DO WE MAKE IT AT A LOSS WOULD
GET CBO'S TO.
GIVE THEIR THEIR GOVERNING
BOARDS BETTER INFORMATION TO
MAKE DECISIONS.
SO SENATOR.
I THINK K. TWELVE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ACTUALLY IS WE GO BACK
TWENTY FIVE YEARS AB TWELVE
HUNDRED WHICH BUT THIS PROCESS
IN PLACE AS PART OF AB TWELVE
INNER ALSO PUT OUR REQUIREMENTS
FOR MULTI YEAR FINANCIAL PLANS
IN PLACE. THEY ARE ON A THREE
YEAR WINDOW.
THREE WENT IN AND JUST FOR YOUR
CURRENT PLUS TO.
ON MANY MANY DISTRICTS TO
ENROLLMENT PROJECTIONS BECAUSE
US TAKE A LOT LONGER TO RESPOND
TO WRITE THE CONSEQUENCES OF
EITHER DECREASE OR OR MORE
IMPORTANTLY INCREASE IN
ENROLLMENT. TAKES LONGER MANY OF
THEM DO FIVE PLUS YEARS MAYBE
GIVEN UP TO TEN.
BEYOND ABOUT YOUR THREE THE
NUMBERS GET PRETTY SOFT.
THE BIGGEST CHALLENGE FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS.
A WITH REGARD TO SOMETHING OUT
THREE YEARS IS FRANKLY THE
SOURCE OF THEIR REVENUE AND WHAT
POLICY DECISIONS ARE MADE.
MADE HERE AND WHAT THE ECONOMY
LOOKS LIKE AND WHEN DOES AT A
CON OF ME. I'M REALLY HAVE AN
IMPACT ON.
ON POP NINETY EIGHT AND
ULTIMATELY.
ON SCHOOL DISTRICTS
SO THERE ARE A LOT OF VARIABLES
IN THERE THE CSU ON THE U. SEEM
MAY ACTUALLY BE EASIER TO DO
THAT BECAUSE I REVENUE.
WHILE THEY CERTAINLY DURING THE
GREAT RECESSION EXPERIENCE
REDUCTIONS LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE A
REVENUES A LITTLE BIT MORE
STABLE.
AND SONY HAVE SAID A LOT OF
VARIABLES THAT GO THAT FINANCIAL
THATMULTI YOUR FINANCIAL
PLANNER PROBABLY COUPLE HUNDRED
VARIABLES THAT GO INTO IT.
THAT REALLY GETS SOFT IT YEAR
THREE FOUR FIVE BUT YOU
MENTIONED IT A FEW TIMES MIKE IN
THE EYE IS SORT OF GET HOUSE
STIRS COME AND.
RATE INCREASES ABSOLUTELY AND WE
DON'T KNOW EXACTLY WHAT THEY'RE
RATE WE WE SEE THIS TREND. WE
KNOW WHAT THE RATES ARE ROY THEN
IT'S CITY START DOING IT CAN
YOUR AND THAT WOULD THAT IS
ABSOLUTE ARE OUTLINES ARE ABLE
LOAN IS GONNA JUST. BLOW I MEAN
SO I GUESS THE FOLLOW UP
QUESTION IS WILL YOU HAVE ENOUGH
STEPPING IN THE NEXT YEAR TWO
THREE FOUR. AS AS THIS STARTS TO
REALLY.
CHOKE OUT SCHOOL DISTRICT.
SO. FOR SENATOR APOLOGIZE FOR
CUTTING OFF THE.
YOUR ABSOLUTE CORRECT
ONE OF THE CHALLENGES ONE OF OUR
MESSAGING POINTS ON PUBLIC
PENSIONS IS TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AS WE HAVE THE RATES. STIRS
RATES ARE SET LEGISLATURE SET
THOSE.
BIRTH RATES YES CAN VARY BY THE
PURSE BOARD FROM YEAR TO YEAR
AND POLICY CHANGES ARE INFLUENCE
AMR'S STATION POLICY CHANGES AND
OTHERS INFLUENCE THOSE.
I'M HOWEVER WE HAVE A PRETTY
GOOD IDEA WHERE THEY'RE GOING TO
LAND.
AND OUR ADVICE TO THEM IS
PLANNED FOR THOSE EVEN IF YOU
LEAVE ALL OTHER VARIABLES
CONSTANT.
KNOW WHAT THOSE NUMBERS ARE IT'S
NOT A DIFFICULT CALCULATION.
WE ADVISE SCHOOL DISTRICTS ALL
THE TIME WHEN YOU'RE DOING YOUR
MULTI YOUR PLANNED DON'T ROLL
THOSE PENSION COSTS UP INTO.
THE TOTAL CATEGORY OF BENEFITS
LEAVE THEM BROKEN OUT BECAUSE
THERE PART OF YOUR STORY ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING ON IN YOUR LOCAL
DISTRICT AND WHY YOU NEED TO BE.
I'M PLANNING TO TAKE CERTAIN
ACTIONS OUT INTO THE FUTURE.
ARE AND SO FROM THAT STANDPOINT
ON THAT ITEM THAT'S THOSE ARE
NUMBERS THAT WE HAVE A PRETTY
GOOD HANDLE ON WE KNOW THAT
STEPPING COLUMN WHICH IS THE
ANNUAL INCREASE IN SALARIES FOR
SOME EMPLOYEES NOT ALL. OF WE
KNOW WHAT THOSE AVERAGE IN THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT YOU CAN FACTOR
THOSE INTO KNOW WHAT THE WHAT
THE. BASE COMPENSATION IS GONNA
BE IF YOU WANTED YOU CAN THROW
IN AND OUT REYES HERE AND THERE
JUST A MODEL AND SEE THAT THAT'S
NOT AT ALL DIFFICULT WE
ENCOURAGE THEM TO DO THAT. AND
WE COURAGE THEM THE PLAN.
OUR POINT TO THEM IS.
THIS IS NEVER A ONE YEAR IT
pTHINGS YOU'VE GOT TO LOOK AT
YOUR MULTI YEAR PROJECTIONS.
TWO YEARS TO THE POINT THAT
YOU'RE COMFORTABLE WITH YOUR
NUMBERS TAKEN OUT AS FAR AS YOU
WANT BUT WE KNOW FROM HISTORY
THAT WHEN WE GET INTO YOUR
FOREIGN FIVE THOSE AS I'VE
INDICATED ARE PRETTY SOFT
NUMBERS.
SO COMPLETELY AGREE WITH YOU.
K. TWELVE MODELS OUT FRANKLY
FOR THE REST.
WHILE MANY COMMUNITY COLLEGES
DO MULTI YOUR FINANCIAL PLANS
THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT FOR THEM
THAT I'M AWARE OF TO ACTUALLY DO
THAT.
AND THE YOU SEE IN THE CSU YOU
KNOW CERTAINLY HAVE TOP
FINANCIAL FOLKS WORKING IN
THERE.
IN THE CHANCELLOR IN THE
PRESIDENT'S OFFICE THAT THAT
UNDERSTAND THESE DYNAMICS ARE
CLEARLY.
I I THINK THAT SAYS GIVES YOU
AGAIN LIKE I JUST SEE.
I SEEM.
CLOUDS STORM CLOUDS GOVERNMENT
AND YOU'RE GONNA BE REALLY BUSY
IF WE DON'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO
HELP THESE DISTRICTS HELP
HIMSELF WE ARE. WE ARE IT TO
ANSWER THAT QUESTION CENTER MARK
WE ARE MAXED RIGHT NOW AND WE
PRIORITIZE THE CALLS THAT WE GET
WE HAVE. MORE CALLS ON A WEEKLY
BASIS THAN WE CAN HANDLE HOWEVER
WE PRIORITIZE THOSE BASED ON.
THE REAL FISCAL SITUATION IN THE
DISTRICT IT'S PART OF OUR INTAKE
PROCESS TO UNDERSTAND THE BIG
PICTURE.
AND TEN WE SCHEDULES WE HAVE
JOB SCHEDULED OUT IN THE FALL
FOR ASSISTANCE FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICT BUT THOSE ARE.
DISTRICTS THAT ARE.
THAT THAT HAVE SOME TIME TO WAIT
RIGHT AS OPPOSED TO AN IMMEDIATE
NEED.
FUNDED OUT OF PROP NINETY EIGHT
AS WE ARE SO THERE'S SOME EXTRA
CASH IT SEEMS LIKE THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SHOULD BE.
PLANNING ON PROVIDING MORE FOR
YOU TO ADDED A STAFF MEMBER TO
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T LOOK TO ME
LIKE YOU ARE CONFIRMING OR
SAMPLING DISTRICTS THIS IS A
SELF CERTIFICATION PROCESS.
AND THERE MIGHT BE DISTRICTS
THAT ARE JUST NOT WILLING TO
SELF CERTIFY WORSE A C.. O. E.
THAT IT DOESN'T WANT TO THE
EMBARRASSMENT EITHER SO IF YOU
WERE TO TAKE OUT OF YOUR WHAT
THE ONE THOUSAND DISTRICTS YOUR
TO SAMPLE.
EVEN TEN PERCENT OF A MORE FIVE
PERCENT YOU'RE GONNA FIND SOME
INTERESTING NUMBERS. I WOULD
SUSPECT THAT ABSOLUTELY BUT
HOWEVER I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
TO RECOGNIZE THAT IS THE ROLE
THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT THE
COUNTY OFFICE THERE THAT FIRST
LEVEL OF INTERVENTION THEY DO
THOSE BUDGET REVIEWS THEY DO
I'M.
AT LEAST THREE TIMES A YEAR
THERE SEEN DISTRICT FINANCIAL
DATA ON ON A PRETTY REGULAR
BASIS ABOUT FIVE TIMES A YEAR.
AND LOOKING AT IT EITHER
THROUGH THE OIL CAP APPROVAL
THROUGH THE BUDGET APPROVAL
THROUGH THE FIRST SECOND
INTERMENT FOR NUMBER OF
DISTRICTS THAT REQUIREMENTS TO
DO THIRD IN OUR REPORTS ACTUALLY
THEY JUST DON'T GET REPORTED OUT
PUBLIC. HERB GET REPORTED TO CD
IT TO THE STATE LEVEL ON
BUT THEY'RE DONE LOCALLY AND SO
THAT'S THEIR FIRST IN THEIR
COUNTIES.
WHEN THEY RECOGNIZE THAT THERE'S
A PROBLEM THEY RESPONDED THAT
THEY ACT.
STILL HAVE SURPRISE
AS WE DO.
FOR I GO TO MS JACKSON.
OBVIOUSLY AS YOU POINTED OUT WE
THE EXPENDITURE SIDE OF THE
EQUATION WE WE KNOW WE KNOW WHAT
THE COST OF A CLASSROOM AS WE
KNOW.
THE COST OF MAINTENANCE ARE WE
KNOW WHAT WOULD DISTRICTS SHOULD
HAVE TO SPEND ON A YEARLY BASIS
IT'S THE REVENUE SIDE.
THAT IT'S BEEN THE MOST VOLATILE
AND OBVIOUSLY DURING THE GREAT
RECESSION. YOU KNOW SIXTY
PERCENT OF THE CUTS WENT TO
EDUCATION.
NOT.
THE OTHER YOU KNOW WE PRIORITIZE
WE WE DID NOT PRIORITIZE
EDUCATION AS WE WERE MAKING CUTS
TO BALANCE THE BUDGET BECAUSE
EDUCATION.
TOOK THE LINES HERE.
WHAT'S.
AND EVEN WITH LOCAL CONTROL
FUNDING.
BEING FULLY FUNDED IT WAS AN
ARBITRARY.
TARGET IT WASN'T SOMETHING THAT
WAS ABOUT ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND.
YEAH WE'RE HITTING THAT TWO
YEARS EARLY BUT IT WASN'T.
THE LEVEL OF FUNDING THAT SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ACTUALLY NEED.
TO DO THE BEST JOB THAT THEY CAN
FOR OUR KIDS.
AND SO I THINK THAT'S PART OF
THE CHALLENGES THAT THE
DISTRICTS HAVE. IS. JUST THE
VOLATILITY OF EDUCATION FUNDING
IN CALIFORNIA BOTH FROM AROUND
THE DOWNTURN AND WHEN WE'RE ON
THE.
SO I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
THAT YOU KNOW THAT'S PART OF THE
CONVERSATION MISTER ACTION OF
MUCH QUESTIONS.
I HAVE A FEW.
.
FIRST FALL COULD YOU.
CAN YOU TELL ME ARE THERE ANY
TRENDS THAT.
YOU SHE ACROSS OF THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THAT ARE STRUGGLING IS
SHOULD.
YOU MENTIONED PENSIONS BUT THEN
THERE'S.
SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT.
THAT THE FIXED COSTS ASSOCIATED
WITH TEACHING.
ADA.
.
A WHAT. OR ARE THERE ANY TRENDS
THAT YOU'RE SAYING. ABSOLUTELY
SELECT START WITH CASELOAD
EVERYTHING IN THIS BUSINESS IS
BUILT ON CASELOAD WHICH IS
ENROLLMENT RIGHT THAT ULTIMATELY
WE.
MOST COMMONLY.
VALUE OR QUANTIFY IS EIGHTY A
AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE BECAUSE
THAT'S WHAT THE FUNDING SPACE
STOCK.
HOWEVER REVENUES BASED ON EIGHTY
A.
EXPENDITURES ARE GENERALLY BASED
ON ENROLLMENT RIGHT WE IN WE
STAFF A CLASSROOM WITH A TEACHER
AND BUY BOOKS AND HAVE
FACILITIES BASED ON. ALL THE
KIDS NOT JUST THE KIDS THAT SHOW
UP EACH DAY.
RIGHT
SO ARMS WE HAVE A LITTLE.
AUTOMATIC DISPARITY THERE
ALTHOUGH IT'S RELATIVELY SMALL.
SO THE FIRST TREND IS RIGHT NOW
OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF A THE
DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE ARE
DECLINING ENROLLMENT.
DECLINING ENROLLMENT IMMEDIATELY
MEANS.
.
A DECLINE IN REVENUE ALTHOUGH
UNDERSTAND IN THE FIRST YEAR
THAT DECLINE WERE ABLE TO USE
THE PRIOR YEAR SO WE WE COMMONLY
CALL THAT A SOFT LANDING. RIGHT
BUT IT ULTIMATELY CATCHES UP TO
US.
R. CATCHES UP TO SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
AND SO AS I ILLUSTRATED EARLIER
IN ANSWER TO.
YOU THE CHAIRMAN OR CENTER
MORLOCKS QUESTION.
EXPENSES DON'T FALL AWAY AT THE
SAME SPEED.
A FEW KIDS FROM A CLASS A SECOND
GRADE CLASSROOM A FEW KIDS FROM
A THIRD GRADE CLASSROOM CUTE FEW
GETS FROM A FIFTH GRADE CLASS
AND DO NOT RESULT IN THE LOSS OF
A. FULL TIME EQUIVALENT TEACHER
AND THAT'S OUR LARGEST SINGLE
EXPENSE
AND AGAIN I WILL SAY AND THAT'S
APPROPRIATE. AROUND THAT TIME WE
ACCOMPLISH OUR OUR OUR WORK.
THROUGH OUR TEACHERS AND SO.
THAT TREND OF ENROLLMENT IS
OBVIOUSLY.
.
PUT SOME DISTRICTS AT MORE.
RISK THAN OTHER DISTRICTS.
WHILE MANY DISTRICTS.
CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT GROWTH
BECAUSE ON THE FACILITY SIDE
IT'S DIFFICULT TO DEAL WITH. BY
FAR.
PREFERRED TO BE IN A DISTRICT
THAT'S GROWING GROWTH COVERS A
LOT OF PROBLEMS IN A LOT OF SINS
RIGHT.
THEN DECLINING DECLINING IS A
VERY DIFFICULT SITUATION TO BE
IN.
SO THAT'S THE FIRST TRIP.
SECOND TREND.
IS.
ON THE COMPENSATION SIDE.
AND THAT IS DURING THE
RESTORATION OF OF FUNDING AND
EXPANSION OF FUNDING OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL YEARS WE'VE SEEN
COMPENSATION.
BOTH SALARY AND BENEFITS BUT
TOTAL COMPENSATION GENERAL GROW.
.
I I WOULD SAY THAT IS ABSOLUTELY
APPROPRIATE.
BALANCING THAT THE WITH
PORTABILITY BECOMES THE
CHALLENGE DISTRICT BY DISTRICT.
I MUST SAY THIS I DON'T THINK
I'M ANY OF YOU PROBABLY
DISAGREE.
I.
I SAID THIS ALL TIME I WOULD PAY
TEACHERS WHAT WE PAY BASEBALL
PLAYERS.
AND I PAY BASEBALL PLAYERS WHAT
WE PAY SUB TEACHERS I'D ONLY PAY
HIM ON THE DAY OF THE GAME NOT
FOR PRACTICE BECAUSE WE DON'T
PAY SUBS TO PRACTICE.
SO.
BUT NONE OF US ARE GONNA CHANGE
THAT DYNAMIC RIGHT THAT'S NOT
GONNA CHANGE THAT'S LONG HELD IN
OUR HISTORY KIND OF THAT THAT
RELATIONSHIP AND SO. I DON'T
THINK COMPENSATION IN AND OF
ITSELF IS BAD IT'S. BALANCING IT
WITH ALL THE OTHER NEEDS
UNDERSTANDING ON THAT AND IT'S
ALSO IN THIS ERA OF
ACCOUNTABILITY AND EL CAP THE
NEW ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
SPECIFICALLY ALL CAP.
IS WHERE WE GONNA SPEND OUR
MONEY THAT'S GOING TO MOVE THE
NEEDLE FOR KIDS.
BOTH MEN ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.
AND IN SOCIAL EMOTIONAL.
AND IN A WHOLE VARIETY OF AREAS
THAT
THAT WE KNOW.
I'M ARE CRITICAL TO THE SUCCESS
OF OUR KIDS.
AND IT'S NOT JUST MOVING THE
NEEDLE
IT'S MOVE THE NEEDLE FOR ALL
KIDS IT CERTAINLY MOVING THE
NEEDLE TO CLOSE THE ACHIEVEMENT
GAP TO BETWEEN SOME KIDS AND
OTHER KIDS
BUT THAT'S A MEASUREMENT.
THAT'S A MEASUREMENT BUT THAT'S
A TREND AND SO THAT ADDRESSES.
IMPART WE HAVE A THE TREND IS
WE HAVE SOME WELL DEVELOPED THAT
YOU'RE FIVE NOW WELL DEVELOPED
LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY
PLANTS.
THAT ARE IN SOME CASES MAKING
GREAT PROGRESS AND OTHER CASES.
STILL LAGGING BEHIND.
THERE WERE A DISTRICT AND I
BELIEVE YOU'RE A RIO AS AN
EXAMPLE IS ON THE QUALIFIED LIST
THAT'S ACTUALLY A GREAT STORY.
RIOS MAKING
GREAT STRIDES WITH REGARD TO
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
HOWEVER IT'S COSTING THEM MORE
THAN WHAT THEY CAN AFFORD AND
DOUBTS WHETHER ON THE QUALIFIED
LISTS ARE GOING TO HAVE TO
ADJUST.
THEIR PLANS AND HOW THEY'VE
IMPLEMENTED THOSE PLANS IN THE
COMING YEARS BECAUSE THEY CAN'T
AFFORD TO CONTINUE AT THE
EXPENDITURES THAT THE SPENDING
LEVEL THEY BEEN OUT NOW THAT
THAT IS A VERY VERY. COURSE.
AREA YES SO HIGH POVERTY SO IS
THEIR PROBLEM THEIR LOWER ATA OR
IS IT THAT THEY HAVE HIGHER
NEEDS TO TRY TO ADDRESS THE
CHALLENGES THESE YOUNGSTERS FACE
TO HAVE HIGHER NEEDS IN THEIR
REVENUE REFLECTS THAT IN THE LC
FF IN THAT THEY GET A. HIGHER.
PROPORTION OF EXPENDITURES AND
ACTUALLY AGAIN THERE'S A GOOD
STORY THERE.
THAT WE SHOULD ALL BE TALKING
OUT THERE ACTUALLY MAKING GOOD
PROGRESS IN CLOSING THAT GAP IT
SIMPLY.
NOT MATCH TO THEIR REVENUE AT
THIS POINT AND HOW DO WE MEASURE
THE SUCCESS WE NOT USING TESTS
ANYMORE WHAT WHAT MEASUREMENTS
ARE BEING USED
SO MY COLLEAGUES AND I THINK HER
FOLLOWING ME.
ARE MUCH BETTER PREPARED TO
ANSWER THAT OUT OF IT. AREN'T I
DO HAVE ANOTHER QUESTION THOUGH.
.
CALIFORNIA'S BECOMING A NEGATIVE
BIRTH RATE STATE SO I'M NOT
SURPRISED TO HEAR THAT
ENROLLMENT.
IN OVER FIFTY PERCENT OF OUR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IS DECLINING.
WE HAVE HISTORICALLY IN
CALIFORNIA FUNDED OUR SCHOOLS
THROUGH THE AVERAGE DAILY
ATTENDANCE.
GIVEN THAT THE TREND.
OF.
REDUCTION IN THE NUMBER OF
CHILDREN ATTENDING SCHOOL AND
THUS THE REDUCTION IN A D. A.
IS THERE SOME OTHER APPROACH
THAT YOU HAVE CONSIDERED OR THAT
YOU WOULD RECOMMEND TO US IN
DETERMINING HOW TO FUND OUR
SCHOOLS.
SO SENATOR ARM WHY ME HAVE SOME
OPINION ABOUT THE OUT FROM MY
YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN SCHOOL
DISTRICTS I I THINK THAT TO A
QUESTION I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU
TO DEFER. FOR THE LA OPEN
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE ARM
THEY'VE DONE A LOT TO LOOK AT
CERTAINLY WHEN THE LC FF WAS
DEVELOPED SEVERAL YEARS AGO
THERE WAS A LOT OF CONVERSATION
AROUND.
EIGHTY A ENROLLMENT OTHER MODELS
ACROSS THE COUNTRY.
ALMOST ALL MODELS THOUGH ARE
DRIVEN IN PART BY CASELOAD.
SIGNIFICANT PART BY CASELOAD AND
THAT'S PROBABLY APPROPRIATE.
THE QUESTION THAT I THINK THEY
CAN ADDRESSES ARE MINIMUM TO ALL
THAT COULD TOTAL BUT BACK TO
CENTER MORLOCKS QUESTION ABOUT.
HOW SMALL?
HOW EFFICIENT
AND AND SO ON?
?
YOU KNOW WHEN WE KNOW THAT GREAT
BIG ISN'T ALWAYS THE BEST AND
LITTLE TINY IS INEFFICIENT FROM
IN THEIR THE IN BETWEEN. THOSE
TWO.
AND.
SOME OF THE. THE SUCCESSES IN
OTHER PARTS OF THE COUNTRY OR OR
NOT SUCCESS AS THE CASE MAY BE.
IN SOME BUT I THINK BOTH THE LA
OWN FINANCE HAVE. I'M A MUCH
BETTER.
PERSPECTIVE
ON THAT.
SUCH A PUNT.
IT IS A PUNCTATE.
TRYING TO STAY IN MY BOX VERY
GOOD YOU KNOW I CAN TALK WITHOUT
MICROPHONES.
ABOUT PERSONAL.
SOME IDEAS BUT LET ME ASK YOU A
QUESTION THAT.
I THINK YOU ARE.
I'M MORE THAN WELL EQUIPPED TO
ANSWER AND IS AN APPROPRIATE ONE
TO ASK YOU TO ANSWER AND THAT
IS.
WHAT IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE THAT? IS FACING ELOISE
CURRENTLY IN KEEPING THEMSELVES
FISCALLY SOLVENT.
NO PUNTING HERE
THIS IS YOUR BAILIWICK AND
THAT'S THAT'S FAIR.
.
SO I SAID I THINK THIS SINGLE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE IS.
WHERE WE OUT WITH KIDS?
AND ARE WE MAKING PROGRESS NOT
MAKING PROGRESS AND WHERE WE'RE
NOT MAKING PROGRESS BOTH WITH
OUR KIDS AND WITH CLOSING THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP BETWEEN GROUPS
OF KIDS.
.
THAT PRESENTS THE BIGGEST
CHALLENGE AND WHAT DOES IT TAKE
TO DO THAT.
I THINK RELATED TO THAT IS.
THIS IS AN INDUSTRY THAT
DOESN'T SHED THINGS WELL. WE'VE
BEEN DOING SOME THINGS OVER AND
OVER AND OVER AGAIN AND NOT
MOVING THE NEEDLE WE DON'T
ALWAYS RECOGNIZE THAT* WHICH
GETS BACK TO MY COMMENTS ABOUT
THE EL CAP THE ALL CAPS A TOOL.
THAT BURKE CAN BRING FOCUS.
IT'S EXPANDED IN VAST OUR
DOLLARS IN THOSE THINGS THAT WE
KNOW ARE MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR
KIDS.
GETTING BORED STIFF THINK THAT
WAS GOVERNING BOARDS TO THINK
THAT WAY GETTING SCHOOL DISTRICT
ADMINISTRATION
TO THINK THAT WAY AND NOT.
BUT ON THE WAY MANY OF THEM I
THOUGHT THE PAST IS A
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGE.
IS REVENUE CHALLENGE ABSOLUTELY
OUR EXPENDITURES AND GROWTH AND
TRENDS AND IN. A CHALLENGE
ABSOLUTELY.
WE.
WE'RE NEVER GOING TO HAVE ENOUGH
MONEY TO DO EVERYTHING THAT WE
WANT TO DO.
BUT THAT'S JUST THE REALITY OF
IT AND SO THAT'S WHY FOCUS AND
WHAT IS MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH
KIDS BECOMES.
SO VERY IMPORTANT AND SO.
REALLY EMBRACING.
THE PHILOSOPHY CENTER AND ELSE
EFF THE PHILOSOPHIES THAT ARE IN
AL CAPP THE PHILOSOPHIES THAT
ARE. IN OUR NEW ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM AS PART OF THAT LARGER
UMBRELLA.
I THINK OUR ABSOLUTE CRITICAL
AND PRESENT A CHALLENGE IT'S A
CHANGE AND NONE OF US HANDLE
CHANGE FOR AWHILE.
AND IT TAKES TIME AND WHILE WE
CAN BECOME IMPATIENT OR EAR FIVE
OF THIS.
WE'VE GOT A LONG WAYS TO GO AND
WE SHOULD I THINK DISTRICT
SHOULD BE GIVEN TIME TO DO THAT.
LET ME SAY THIS ON.
INSTABILITY IS IN PART CREATED
BY UNCERTAINTY ESPECIALLY IN OUR
IN THIS WORK.
AND SO WHEN THERE'S UNCERTAINTY
ABOUT CHANGE IN ADMINISTRATION
UNCERTAINTY ABOUT THE FUTURE. OF
A NEW FUNDING SYSTEM ON THE NOT
IS CERTAINLY IS NOT PERFECT BUT
ACTUALLY IS PROBABLY WHEN WE GET
A LITTLE FURTHER DOWN GOING TO
FIND THAT STUDENTS REALLY GET
THINGS.
.
THAT CREATES THAT UNCERTAINTY OF
WHERE WE'RE GOING TO BE NEXT
YEAR AND THE YEAR AFTER AND THE
YEAR AFTER.
CREATES.
SOME INSTABILITY AND SO THE
MORE THEY USE A BODY CAN DO TO.
.
TO GIVE US TO GIVE THE FIELD
CERTAINTY FOR THE NEXT SEVERAL
YEARS THEY CAN PLAN BETTER.
ACTOR.
OF CENTER MORLOCKS POINT ABOUT
PLANNING.
THAT IS A TREMENDOUS HELP TO
THEM.
AND IT'S HARD TO PLAN IF WE
DON'T KNOW THE ADA IS THERE
WHICH IT WAS NOT WHICH I THINK
WE HAVE.
IF SCHOOLS ARE REDUCING IN THERE
THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS I DON'T
MEAN TO INTERRUPT BUT THIS IS
THIS IS IMPORTANT FROM AT LEAST
FOR ME TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND THIS
CONCEPTUALLY.
YOU PLAN YOU YOU HAVE A A SENSE
OF WHAT YOUR RESOURCES ARE GOING
TO BE WHAT CHORE.
WHICH TO REVENUES ARE GOING TO
BE.
BUT IN OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS IT'S
ALL A QUESTION OF WHO SHOWS UP
IN THE FIRST A SCHOOL AND WHO
SHOWS UP EVERY DAY THEREAFTER
THAT'S IS IN THAT THE REVENUE
SIDE OF IT TELLERS CASELOAD THAT
DRIVES BOTH REVENUE AND EXPENSES
HOWEVER. CENTER I WOULD I WOULD
SAY THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO A
PRETTY GOOD JOB THOSE FOR CAPS
SHORTLY IN THE BIG SCHEME OF
THINGS FINANCE DOES AN EXCELLENT
JOB AT FORECASTING ON
ENROLLMENT.
AND.
KNOWING WHERE RAP BY LOOKING AT
AT HISTORY ON EIGHTY A.
EXCUSE ME AND ARM.
AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS LOCALLY
REALLY THAT ARE IN TUNE TO THEIR
COMMUNITIES SEE THOSE TRENDS
I'M KNOW THAT THEY KNOW WHEN
THEY'RE DECLINING WHEN THEY'RE
GOING TO KLEIN THEY KNOW. WE'RE
NOT THE THE SURPRISES FRANKLY IN
THAT ARENA ARE FEW.
.
QUANTIFYING IN GETTING IT
PRECISE BY CLASSROOM BY SCHOOL
IS MORE DIFFICULT THAN BY THE
DISTRICT ITSELF BUT REVENUES
BASED ON THE DISTRICT.
RIGHT THE FINE TUNING WHEN WE
GET DOWN TO CLASSROOM ENROLLMENT
IN SCHOOL ENROLLMENT YES IMPACTS
EXPENDITURE FROM A STAFFING
STANDPOINT MAINLY. BUT BUT NOT
THE REVENUE SO. I'D I DON'T
THINK THAT'S.
A CHALLENGE
I THINK THE CHALLENGE IS WHAT
REVENUE IS GOING TO BE ASSIGNED
TO THAT ENROLLMENT ARE EIGHTY A.
WHAT'S IT GONNA LOOK LIKE HOW'S
IT GOING TO GROW WE KNOW WHAT
THE CURRENT.
FORMULA CALLS FOR WITH RESPECT
TO AFTER NEXT YEAR.
A WHEN WE KNOW RIGHT NOW BASED
ON JANUARY'S BUMPER BUDGET
PROPOSALS WHAT NEXT YEAR WOULD
LOOK LIKE UNDER THOSE
CIRCUMSTANCES WE HAVE AN IDEA
WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THE SECOND
YEAR OUT THE THIRD YEAR OUT. ON
BASED ON CURRENT RULES.
AND WE CAN PLAN AROUND THOSE.
TOOK THAT IN ITSELF I DON'T
THINK IT'S THE CHALLENGE.
BUT ANY UNCERTAINTY ABOUT.
YOU KNOW.
WHAT THE LEGISLATURE'S INTENT
WHAT A NEW ADMINISTRATION'S
INTENT IS WITH REGARD TO THE
FORMULA OF THE SYSTEM AND ALL
THAT?
MY ONLY POINT IS THAT TENDS TO
CREATE SOME UNCERTAIN EVERYBODY
ALWAYS BLAMES THE LARGEST
TRY NOT TRYING TO THERE'S NO
BLAME HERE SIR.
THAT WASN'T THAT WASN'T MY
POINT IT JUST THAT.
THAT IT'S A LITTLE BIT MORE
SOLID
PLAN.
YOU MENTIONED.
THAT
QUESTION IS WHERE ARE WE WITH
KIDS
WHAT WHAT IS HAPPENING.
WITH REGARD TO STUDENT
PERFORMANCE SO YOU'RE. THE
METRICS WITH RESPECT TO BOTH
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND IN
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS AND MATH.
CERTAINLY IN THE WHOLE VARIETY
OF INDICATORS THAT THE DASHBOARD
IS NOW REPORTING HOWEVER WE.
HOW ARE WE DOING WITH CHRONIC
ABSENTEEISM WE WE CAN'T BE
SUCCESSFUL KIDS IF THEY'RE NOT
IN SCHOOL ARM DATA IS CLEARLY
SHOWS THAT? TO THAT NEW
INDICATOR COMING ONLINE IS
IMPORTANT AND ARE WE GOING TO
IMPROVE THAT. THE SUSPENSION
EXPULSION WHOLE AREA OF
DISCIPLINE THE WHOLE AREA OF
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL IS CRITICAL.
MANY OF OUR KIDS IN AND WE ALL
KNOW THIS ISN'T NEWS TO ANYBODY
MANY OF OUR KIDS.
COME TO US EACH DAY IN THE ONLY
THING STABLE IN THEIR LIFE IS
THAT CLASSROOM.
RIGHT.
ARM AND SO THAT PUTS EATEN
ENORMOUS BURDEN ON OUR TEACHERS
IN OUR SCHOOLS VERY CANDIDLY. OF
MRS NAM PROBABLY ESS A
PARTNERSHIP THAN IT'S EVER BEEN
IN HISTORY WITH THE BROADER
COMMUNITY OF AND SO ON AND SO
THEIR EMOTIONAL. AND SOCIAL WELL
PAINS IMPORTANT THE ACADEMIC.
WELLBEING.
ONCE FINALIZED. HOME YET AGREED
UPON THE CAREER.
COLLEGE AND CAREER INDICATORS
AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THOSE.
CLEARLY SO THAT'S WHAT I MEAN
BY BY WHERE WE OUT WITH KIDS
WERE HERE WE WERE WE KNOW WE
WANT TO BE HERE. A WHAT ARE WE
DOING. TO MAKE THAT PROGRESS AND
PART OF THAT PART OF MY CONCERN
IS
IT'S WHAT YOU MENTIONED
THE THE SCHOOLS ARE NOW BEING
ASKED TO DO.
EVERYTHING THAT WE YOU STASHED
PARENTS IN CHURCHES AND
RELIGIOUS INSTITUTIONS AFTER.
SCHOOL SOCIAL PROGRAMS AND SO
FORTH IT'S ALL NOW SEEMS TO BE
FALLING ON THE SCHOOLS EVEN TO
THE POINT OF SUGGESTING. THAT
THE SCHOOLS TAKE RESPONSIBILITY
FOR ACTIVE SHOOTERS AND TO OTHER
SUCH HORRIFIC NOTIONS BUT.
I WONDER IN TODAY'S WORLD GIVEN
HAT YOU KNOW YOUR JOB IT'S IT
IS A LOT OF NUMBERS HERE BUT
THERE'S A LOT I NEED.
HOW?
HOW ARE WE GOING TO?
?
IT WAS A FIX THE PROBLEM BUT HOW
IT JUST IN TERMS OF DOLLARS AND
CENTS HOW CAN ARE WE GOING TO BE
DOING MORE.
WITH LESS.
AND ARE YOU GOING TO START
SEEING MORE AND MORE THE
SCHOOLS.
FALLING UNDERNEATH OR UNDER
YOUR JURISDICTION.
I AND HOW ARE YOU GOING TO GO
ABOUT TRYING TO.
CORRECT THERE THEIR FISCAL
PROBLEMS GIVEN THOSE NEEDS
AND THE EXPECTATIONS WE HAVE OF
THEM.
SO A LOT OF WHAT POINTS IN IN IN
THAT QUESTION.
SO LET'S START WITH.
WHAT WE SEE ON THE HORIZON A
LITTLE BIT BACK TO?
UNSER MORLOCKS POINT.
NEXT YEAR'S VERY POSITIVE YEAR.
WE SEE THAT REFLECTED MOST
IMMEDIATELY IN THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE SECOND IN A ROOM.
REPORTS OR SMITH OF LAST WEEK.
AND THE DROP IN THE NUMBER OF
QUALIFY DISTRICTS.
QUALIFIED BY THE WAY.
THE EVER QUALIFY GOES UP AND
DOWN WITH RESPECT TO THE STATE
ECONOMY STATE BUDGET PROPOSITION
NINETY IS YOU CAN EXPECT
NEGATIVE. THERE ARE SO MANY
OTHER FACTORS INVOLVED IN THE
DISTRICT THAT'S NEGATIVE IN ITS
GENERALLY OVER TIME A LITTLE BIT
MORE STABLE. IN THE IN THE
NUMBERS AND SO SEEM NOT DROP IS
A IMMEDIATE REFLECTION THAT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE TAKEN THE
JANUARY PROPOSAL FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION AND EMBEDDED IN
THEIR WILL. THEIR.
MULTI YEAR FINANCIAL PLAN
SPECIFICALLY FOR NEXT YEAR AND
THAT THEY SEE AN IMPROVEMENT IN
THOSE RESOURCES THAT THEY HAVE
AVAILABLE TO THEM.
.
SO NEXT YEAR THE ONLY CONCERN I
HAVE ABOUT NEXT YEAR IS A
DISTRICTS RESPOND TO IT
APPROPRIATELY. AND THAT THAT
DON'T SET THEMSELVES UP FOR.
FOR AND THEY DON'T MAKE
COMMITMENTS THAT THEY CAN'T
SUSTAIN ALL THE WAY OUT.
UNDER THE CURRENT RULES WE KNOW
IF WE FOLLOW THOSE IN YEAR TWO
AND YEAR THREE.
THAT WE ARE AND FOR THE MOST
PART A.
COLE ONLY KIND OF GROWTH FROM A
REVENUE PERSPECTIVE.
I AM YES PROP NINETY EIGHT MAY
GROW HIGHER THAN COLA AND YOU
KNOW THE QUESTION IS WHERE DOES
THAT DIFFERENCE IN FUNDING GO.
IS IT GOING TO AND FOLLOW
THROUGH THE LC FF FORMULAR IS IT
DONE.
A ALLOCATED ON IN SOME OTHER WAY
TO K. FOURTEEN.
BUT FOR THE MOST PART WE KNOW
WHAT ELSE EFF LOOKS LIKE.
THAT DOES PRESENT A CHALLENGE WE
LOOK IN THOSE OUT YEARS.
YEAR OVER YEAR REVENUE GROWTH
IN LC FF.
EVEN IN PROP NINETY EIGHT FOR
THAT MATTER.
IS PROBABLY NOT QUITE
EQUIVALENT TO.
YEAR OVER YEAR EXPENDITURE
GROWTH AND.
PENSION COSTS
AND.
.
STEPPING COLUMN.
A WITCH'S.
WAS NEGOTIATED DECADES AGO SUCH
KIND OF FIXED COSTS AT THIS
POINT.
AND IN THINGS LIKE THE DYNAMIC
OF SPECIAL ED THAT WE TALKED
ABOUT DECLINING.
REVENUES DECLINE IN SPECIAL ED
BUT EXPENSES OUR ARE INCREASING
AND SO THAT CERTAINLY IS GOING
TO PUT SOME PRESSURES THAT'S THE
VALUE OF THOSE MULTI YOUR
FINANCIAL PLAN SYSTEM NO THAT'S
COMING THAT DAY'S COMING AND
YOU'VE GOT TIME NOW TO DEAL WITH
THAT.
THAT'S OUR ENCOURAGEMENT TO
DISTRICTS YOU HAVE TIME NOW USE
NEXT YEAR AS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY
PLAN.
AND THAT'S REALLY OUR MESSAGE
THAT WILL KEEP THEM AND IF WE GO
BACK.
IF WE GO BACK EVEN TO THE MIDST
OF THE OF THE GREAT RECESSION IN
RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. YOU
HAD DISTRICTS ACTUALLY PLAN YOU
HAD ACTUALLY DISTRICTS WAS SOME
CRITICIZED THIS PRACTICE.
INCREASING THEIR FUND BALANCES
DURING THOSE TIMES BUT IT WAS
ABOUT STABILITY IT WAS ABOUT
HAVING SUFFICIENT FUND BALANCE
IN RESERVES TO DRAW UPON. IN THE
NEXT YEAR AND THE YEAR AFTER AND
THE YEAR AFTER WE STARTED. WILD
MEAT WE AFTER LCF A SIMPLE WHEN
WE SAW FUND BALANCES.
START TO GROW AGAIN.
THAT WILL THAT'S WHITE IN PART
YOU DON'T HAVE AS MANY DISTRICTS
ON THE QUALIFIED LIST THEY MAY
HAVE DEFICIT SPENDING IN YOUR
TOUR YOUR THREE.
BUT THEY HAVE SUFFICIENT
RESERVES AND FUND BALANCE TO
MITIGATE THAT AND BUY THEM TIME
THAT'S REALLY WHIZZER RESERVES
ARE ABOUT IS BUYING TIME TO DEAL
WITH.
THAT DYNAMIC
AND SO NEXT YEAR IS AN EXCELLENT
YEAR
PLAN.
AGAIN USER EL CAP TO HELP BRING
FOCUS.
ABOUT WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR KIDS.
I APPRECIATE YOUR TESTIMONY IN
AIDS ONE.
IMPORTANT FACT MANTIS OF THE.
THE MIX.
.
SO MANY DIFFERENT LEVELS AND
AND.
WERE WORKING WITH YOU RIGHT NOW.
IS WILLING TO. CHARTER
AUTHORIZATION IN.
I IT'S IT'S A THIS IS REALLY ARE
RATHER THAN THE SCIENCE IN SOME
RESPECTS TRYING TO KEEP ALL OF
THESE DISTRICTS.
FLOAT UNDER DIFFICULT
CIRCUMSTANCES THERE THERE OFTEN
TIMES DEALING WITH LOTS OF
MOVING PARTS IN TERMS OF
UNDERSTANDING THEIR.
THEY'RE ON.
THEIR OWN FINANCIAL NEEDS AND
AND TO.
AND ALSO THE MANY TO KEEP
COMING DOWN AT THEM FROM THE
STATE SO I'M.
I APPRECIATE THAT.
BRIDGET I WORK YOU DON'T THINK
YOU CENTER.
YEAH AND I MEAN THAT IF I TAKE.
SOMETHING AWAY FROM YOUR EARLIER
COMMENTS ME THE SYSTEM IS
WORKING I MEAN THAT.
HELPING HELPING DISTRICTS
THROUGH FINANCIAL UNCERTAINTY
HAVING A SYSTEM IN PLACE.
WHERE IT'S BOTH LOCAL AND STATE?
BOTH COUNTY I MEAN IT IT IT IT
SEEMS TO BE AN EFFECTIVE SYSTEM.
TO NAVIGATE I'M PLEASED TO SEE
PASADENA.
MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION I
SEE UPLAND IS OFF THE QUALIFIED.
AS WELL SO I. JUST FROM MY OWN
DISTRICTPERSPECTIVE THOSE
THAT'S GOOD NEWS.
OBVIOUSLY YOU YOU COMMENTED
THAT THE FULLY FUNDING.
LC FF THIS YEAR HAS HAD A
POSITIVE.
THE FACT.
GIVES DISTRICTS AN OPPORTUNITY
TO PLAN AND HAS MOVED DISTRICTS
BETWEEN. THE DIFFERENT.
DIFFERENT LISTS
I'M HAVE YOU LOOKED AT THE THE
SENATE PROPOSAL OF.
INCREASING THE BASE BY ONE
POINT TWO BILLION ONGOING OF
GERMANY. THING YOU WANT TO SAY
ABOUT THAT AND HOW THAT MIGHT
AND TO SOME STABILITY. BUT I
CERTAINLY.
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY WITH.
COMMITTEE STAFF AND AND STAFF
IN FROM.
IN THE LEADERSHIP.
TO DISCUSS THAT I'M PROPOSAL
AND AND TO LOOK AT IT IS
CERTAINLY. POSITIVE I THINK THAT
AS YOU WELL KNOW IT IS AN
ADDITIONAL PUMP UP FOR NEXT YEAR
AND CERTAINLY TO THE BASE AND
GOING FORWARD.
.
CLEARLY IT'S RESTORING.
SOME REVENUES THAT SOMETHING CAR
ONE TIME AND SOME THINK MAYBE
RECURRING RIGHT SO THAT BECOMES
CRITICAL.
.
I THINK IF I WERE TO SAY
ANYTHING TO BE THE SAME ADVICE I
GIVE SCHOOL DISTRICT PAY CLOSE
ATTENTION. DON'T OVER COMMIT TO
SOMETHING IT'S NOT GOING TO BE
THERE COUPLE YEARS FROM NOW ON
IF THERE'S SOME.
THREAT TO THAT REVENUE BASE THEN
I WOULD BE CONCERNED ABOUT.
MAKING A RECURRING ONGOING
COMMITMENT WITH IT.
IF THERE'S.
IF ULTIMATELY THE ANALYSIS IS
THAT'S A SOLID BASE THEN.
IT'S GOING TO IT INFLUENCE PROP
NINETY EIGHT AND I CAN ASSURE
YOU SCHOOL DISTRICTS WOULD BE
GRATEFUL.
TO HAVE THE ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SINGS OVER
ONE.
ONE MORE QUICK CLEAR FOR.
A QUICK ONE.
MICHAEL YOU REFER TO THE YOUR
LAST REMARKS ABOUT THE AB ONE
THIRTY NINE.
ORDINARY EISENHOWER YEAH YOU'RE
SEEING A MATE MAJOR SPIKE OF
SEVENTY PERCENT THIS YEAR ALONE.
COULD YOU BE MORE SPECIFIC.
.
BECAUSE OUR STAFF REPORT OR LOVE
OR REPORT DOESN'T SEEM TO TOUCH
ON.
ON THIS TOPIC IS THIS DIFFERENT
FROM.
QUALIFIED NEGATIVE PIOUS.
YES THESE ARE ALLEGATIONS OF
FRAUD MISAPPROPRIATION OF FUNDS
OR OTHER ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
FISCAL ACTIVITIES.
THAT ARE RAISED.
TO THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT.
AND THE COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT
UNDER CODE THEN HOUSE.
THE AUTHORITY TO CALL FOR WHAT
WE.
CALLING EXTRAORDINARY AUDIT IT'S
NOT A TERM USED IN CODE BUT
THAT'S THE NAME THAT WAS GIVEN
MANY YEARS AGO WHEN AB ONE
THIRTY NINE WAS PASSED.
TO UPDATE THE CODE THAT GIVES
THE COUNTIES AUTHORITY IT IS A
PRACTICE IT IT'S A FUNCTION THAT
WE PERFORM. ON THAT IS FUNDED BY
THE STATE.
A SEPARATE TOWN BUCKET OF MONEY
IN OUR BUDGET.
.
REALLY THE ONLY THRESHOLD FOR A
COUNTY TO ASK FOR THAT REVIEW IS
OF THAT THEY BELIEVE THE
ALLEGATION IS CREDIBLE.
THAT.
THEY'VE DONE ENOUGH
SNOOPING AROUND THAT THEY THINK
THERE'S PROBABLY CREDIBILITY TO
IT.
THE THRESHOLD FOR US IS SIMPLY
TO DETERMINE THAT THERE MAY OR
MAY NOT BE EVIDENCE THEY'RE
WORTHY OF A.
FURTHER INVESTIGATION BY LAW
ENFORCEMENT WE DON'T DETERMINE.
WE DON'T ANSWER THE QUESTION
THAT FRAUD OR MISAPPROPRIATION
SPAN COMMITTED WHAT WE DO IS WE
DEFINE THOSE THINGS THAT THE
STANDARDS. AND THEN WE REPORT ON
OUR OBSERVATIONS WHAT WE LOOKED
AT.
ABOUT HALF OF OUR STAFF ON OUR
CERTIFIED FRAUD EXAMINERS.
SOMETHING THAT IF THEY COME TO
WORK FORCE AND THEY DON'T HAVE
WE INVEST IN.
FOR MANY OF OUR STAFF IN THEM
OBTAINING THAT CERTIFICATION BUT
MANY OF THE FOLKS WE HIRE. ON
COME TO US WITHOUT EXPERIENCE WE
HAVE SEVERAL ON STAFF THAT ARE.
IT CERTAINLY THIS PAST YEAR OF
ALMOST BEEN DEDICATED TO THIS
WORK.
IT IS.
A LARGE VARIETY OF THINGS
SO FROM THE TRI VALLEY.
.
LEARNING CORP AND LIVERMORE
ALAMEDA COUNTY.
THAT.
SOLD TAX EXEMPT ABOUT SIXTY
SEVEN MILLION A TAX EXEMPT
BONDS.
IN A SCHEME REALLY TO SUPPORT A
PRIVATE SCHOOL WOULD BE ARE
PROBABLY OUR CONCLUSION THERE
NOW. BANKRUPT CHARTER LEAVING
THE BOND HOLDERS.
WITH THAT SIXTY SEVEN MILLION.
AND FOR THE MOST PART UNSECURED
DEBT.
ENCLOSED.
AND AT THE SAME PROCESSING
CLOSING.
YOU KNOW.
LEFT A LOT OF KIDS UNSERVED.
AT THE LAST SECOND AT THE END
OF THE SCHOOL YEAR AND EVEN.
DIDN'T MAKE THEIR FINAL STIRS
PAYMENTS THOSE KINDS OF THINGS
AND LEFT THE COUNTY OFFICE OF IT
WITHOUT BURDEN.
YOU GO FROM THAT TOO ALLEGATION
OF.
.
SUPERINTENDENT SEPARATION AND
FINAL PAYMENT IN PAID OUT.
FOR VACATION AND OTHER BENEFITS
THAT MAYBE WEREN'T EVEN INCLUDED
IN THEIR CONTRACT.
AND ACCOUNTED FOR THEIR CONTRACT
BUT SOMEHOW IN THAT FINAL
SEPARATION. A LARGE PAYMENTS
MADE THE IT'S KIND OF ALL OVER
THE PLACE WE'VE BEEN OR POOR
CURRENTLY INVOLVED IN TO. FAIRLY
SIGNIFICANT.
.
BOND PROGRAM.
ALLEGATIONS OF OF
MISAPPROPRIATION OF BOND FUNDS.
GENERALLY START WITH HOW
THEY'RE CAUGHT HOW THE
CONTRACTOR.
WHO THAT CONTRACTORS AND OTHER
PROFESSIONALS WORKING ON A
FACILITY PROGRAM ARE ENGAGED
AND CONTRACTED WITH?
AND THEN IT KIND OF GOES FROM
THERE.
.
I WILL.
I WILL SAY JUSTICE I WOULD SAY
WITH REGARD TO FISCAL
EMERGENCIES ULTIMATELY THIS ALL
STARTS WITH THE TOP. WHAT'S THE
TONE AT THE TOP.
CENTER MORE ACT GUY. YOU HAVE A.
FINANCE BACKGROUND COUNTY
BACKROOM YOU UNDERSTAND INTERNAL
CONTROLS YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ONE
OF THE NUMBER ONE ITEMS INTERNAL
CONTROL IS WHAT WE CALL TONE AT
THE TOP RIGHT WHAT'S THE. THE
STANDARD SAID AT THE VERY TOP OF
THE ORGANIZATION AND MANY OF
THESE CASES THAT'S WHERE THE
FAULT LIES IN THEN.
YOU KNOW IF YOU'VE OPENED HE
DOOR AT THE VERY TOP AND OTHER
THINGS TEND TO HAPPEN.
WE'RE LOOKING AT.
OVER TIME IN ADULT ED IN A
DISTRICT WERE LOOKING AT.
AN ALLEGATION THAT A DISTRICT.
.
IN DUAL ENROLLED PRIVATE SCHOOL
KIDS.
AND PROVIDED THEM ONLINE
INSTRUCTION IN THE MIDDLE OF
THEIR PRIVATE SCHOOL DAY BUT AND
ALSO PROVIDED THEM ALL KINDS OF
TECHNOLOGY AND EVEN INVESTED IN
THE. PHYSICAL PLANT OF THE
PRIVATE SCHOOLS TO INCREASE
THEIR TECHNOLOGY CAPACITY.
I'M ALSO THAT THEY COULD CLAIM
EIGHTY A.
FROM THAT DUAL ENROLLED PRIVATE
STUDENT PRIVATE SCHOOL STUDENT.
WHERE ABOUT TO RELEASE A?
I'M AUDIT IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO
OF THE CHARTER HERE IN
SACRAMENTO A WE ARE NOT FINDING
FRAUD IN THAT CASE WE'RE
FINDING.
A LOT OF MISTAKES.
SOME.
PRO NOT PROPER FOR ME TO SAY
THIS BUT I THINK YOU'LL IT'S.
IT GETS THE MESSAGE ACROSS
WITHOUT A LOT OF STUPID.
BUT WE DIDN'T SO I FIND A LOT
FRAUD BUT IT HAS TO DO WITH
ADULT ED.
IN A HOUSE DO WITH USING LCF F.
FUNDING FOR ADULT ED.
AND THAT. BIG THAT POSSIBILITY
EXISTS UNDER THE WAY CODE IS
WRITTEN.
AND AT THE AT I DON'T KNOW THAT
MOST OF US UNDERSTOOD.
THAT BUT I THINK A GOOD THOROUGH
MOVE ON BUT JUST SO THAT'S THE
VARIETY.
THE MESSAGE TO THOSE.
UNITED.
DO YOU HAVE ANY.
A DO AND WE'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH.
STAFF IN CENTER.
.
O'DONNELL'S OFFICE WHO HAD SOME
INTEREST IN THEIR.
TOPIC.
ON CONDUIT BONDS IN THIS CASE.
BUT IT WAS A SEATS.
YOU NO WAS A SCHEME BASICALLY
USE TAX GET FINANCING FOR THE
CHARTER SCHOOL THAT IN OUR
OPINION WAS REALLY DESIGNED TO
SUPPORT.
A PRIVATE SCHOOL OPERATION THAT
THE.
PEOPLE INVOLVED IN THE CHARTER
WERE OWNED.
THERE'S ALSO SOME INTERNATIONAL
STUDENT.
.
ENROLLMENT APPEARED TIED TO THIS
AND SOME OTHER THINGS HAVE A
PRETTY EXTENSIVE REPORT OUT
THERE.
BUT WE HAVE BEEN WORKING WITH
HIS OFFICE TO PROVIDE SOME
INSIGHT.
OKAY A LOVE TO AND
IF YOU COULD SHARE SOME
INFORMATION WITH THE SENATE SIDE
FOLKS AS WELL. IS WHAT THE
CENTERS ON EVER DONE YEAH I SAID
CENTER I THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER.
AND YOU SEEN THE RISE BOTH IN
CHARTER AND NOT CHARTER IS.
I JUST THINK HE GAVE IN THE
BEGINNING ON A FEW HEARD THIS
THIS IS FOR SO THOUGH THE LAST
SEVERAL YEARS THE MAJORITY DON'T
ONE THIRTY NINE WORK WE'VE BEEN
DOING THE. HAS BEEN IN CHARTERS
THIS YEAR THAT'S NOT THE CASE OF
THE SEVENTEEN WERE INVOLVED IN
RIGHT NOW ONLY FOUR RELATED TO
CHARTERS.
SO THAT TREND IS VERY DIFFERENT
THIS YEAR THE TOPICS ARE VERY
DIFFERENT THIS YEAR THAN THEY
HAVE BEEN THE LAST.
.
TWO THREE YEARS.
MAYBE JUST A SUGGESTION FOR NEXT
YEAR MIGHT.
I LOOKED BE I'VE ON THE IPHONE
FOR AB ONE THREE NINE AUDITS AND
THAT'S A PRETTY LONG. LIST
YOU'VE GOT IT WASN'T IT WASN'T
IN OUR MATERIALS SO MAYBE NEXT
YEAR WE CAN HAVE A LITTLE MORE
DETAIL. ON THOSE AND THEN ALSO
JUST A LITTLE EXPLANATION AS TO.
WHO MOVED FROM NEGATIVE TO
NEUTRAL TO POSITIVE?
MAYBE JUST GIVE A LITTLE SURE
HELP FOR US JUST SO WE CAN CATCH
RACKET YOU'RE YOU'RE. HAPPY TO
DO SO THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK
YOU VERY MUCH.
WE WILL MOVE ON TO OUR SECOND
PANEL ON LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING.
I THINK WE GOT THREE PEOPLE
COMING UP.
IF YOU.
INTRODUCE YOURSELF FIGURE OUT
YOUR SPEAKING ORDER.
AND WE'LL TAKE IT FROM.
WE'LL LET YOU TAKE IT AWAY
BILLION DOLLARS. HOLDOVERS NEW
HARDWARE MONEY
A VIDEO IF EFFORTS WHICH CHARTER
SCHOOLS HAVE RECEIVED OUTSIDE.
PORTLAND OFF IF
YOU HAVE. UP TO TWENTY BILLION
DOLLARS.
UNDER THE OF. DISTRICTS WITH
STUDENT POPULATION I NEED
EXPERIMENT BY THE SENATE.
ALL RIGHT.
SMARTER LOW INCOME ACROSS FROM
YOU.
RECEIVE ADDITIONAL FUNDING IN
THE FORM OF SUPPLEMENTAL.
CREATION GRANTS ADDITION CURRY.
SPACECRAFT FUNNY.
CREEL CFL FUNDING FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICT ALLOCATED BASED FOUR HE
SAID REVENUE EVENTS AND
PARTICIPATION ACCOUNTABLE
PROGRAMS WITH VERY LIMITED
FLEXIBILITY. HUNTERS.
SERVER DISTRICTS OPERATED WITH I
BELIEVE COMPLIANCE WORRIED PARA.
BUT THE POSITIVE THOSE EVENTS
SCHOOL DISTRICTS SMALL THE
REVENUE ON THE MAJORITY OF THEIR
WORK PROGRAM.
BOTH. OF.
PROBABLY PREFER TO. FLOOR
STANLEY SIMILAR TO THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND CHARTER SCHOOL
FORMULA WITH ADDITIONAL WEIGHT
GIVEN TO STUDENTS OF HIGHEST
NEED. ADDITIONALLY COUNTY
OFFICES RECEIVE FUNDING BASED ON
THE NUMBEROF SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WITH IN THEIR COUNTY AND ALSO A
COUNTY WIDE EDA IN RECOGNITION
OF THEIR OVERSIGHT AND TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE RESPONSIBILITIES.
COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION OF
BEEN FULLY IMPLEMENTED ON TO
THEIR LCF HALF A TARGET AMOUNTS
OR ABOVE SENSE THE FOURTEEN
FIFTEEN FISCAL YEAR. AND THEIR
ANNUAL TIME IS APPROXIMATELY ONE
BILLION DOLLARS.
NOW THAT SCOTUS RECEIVE ALMOST
ALL OF THEIR FUNDING THROUGH THE
LC OF HALF THEY HAVE ON
PRESIDENTE LEVELS OF DISCRETION
TO BEST ADDRESS THEIR LOCAL
COMMUNITY NEEDS ALONG WITH
REQUIREMENTS TO PROMOTE. LOCAL
STAKEHOLDER ENGAGEMENT AND
INVOLVEMENT WITHIN THE DECISION
MAKING PROCESS AS PART OF THE
LOCAL CONTROL ACCOUNTABILITY
PLAN DEVELOPMENT.
A IN AN EFFORT TO IMPROVE
TRANSPARENCY AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
SO THAT MEANING GAUGE AND CAN BE
BOTH MORE MEANINGFUL AND MORE
EFFECTIVE. OF THE ADMINISTRATION
PROPOSES REQUIRING LOCAL
EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES THROUGH A
BUDGET CROSSWALK DOCUMENT TO
SHOW HOW THE BUDGET EXPENDITURES
ALIGN WITH THE STRATEGIES
DETAILED IN THEIR EL CAPS FOR
SERVING STUDENTS THAT GENERATE.
SUPPLEMENTAL IN CONCENTRATION
GRANTS.
THE BUDGET ALSO PROPOSES THAT
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION MAKE
AVAILABLE ON A SINGLE WEBSITE
THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF SUPPLEMENTAL
CONCENTRATION FUNDING PROVIDED
TO EACH ELLIE A. UNDER THE LCF
HALF.
THIS PROPOSAL IS NOT INTENDED TO
IMPROVE ACCOUNTABILITY
TRANSPARENCY EFFORTS ALONE IN
ISOLATION.
RATHER IT'S VIEWED BY THE
ADMINISTRATION AS PART OF THE
BROADER EFFORT TO IMPROVE
COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT.
IN SCHOOL DISTRICT DECISION
MAKING AND ALSO IMPROVE CAPACITY
THROUGHOUT THE STATE TO THE
STATEWIDE SYSTEM SUPPORT. IN
ORDER TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR
STUDENTS.
OUT MY COLLEAGUES ON THE PANEL
AFTER US CAN SPEAK A LITTLE BIT
MORE TO THE ACCOUNTABILITY
STRUCTURE OF SYSTEM SUPPORT
STRUCTURE AND.
HOW WE MEASURE STUDENT OUTCOMES
BUT WITHOUT ALL COMPLETE
CONCLUDE MY PRESENTATION AND
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS?
GOOD MORNING RAN ANDERSON
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
WILL BE SPEAKING THIS MORNING
FROM A HANDOUT THAT THE SERGEANT
DISTRIBUTED.
AND SO WE HAVE NO CONCERNS WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL IN
REGARDS FUNDING FOR THE ALSO FF.
BUT WE DO THINK THAT THIS.
.
THIS FULL IMPLEMENTATION OF LCF
OF DOES INTRODUCE AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE STATE TO ENTER.
TO RETURN TO SOME OF THE
DISCUSSIONS IT HAD WHEN IT
INITIALLY SET THOSE LCF OF
TARGET RATES IN TWO THOUSAND
THIRTEEN FOURTEEN.
SELECT A START ON THE FIRST PAGE
OF THIS HANDOUT BY JUST LOOKING
AT WHAT WERE THOSE RATES AND HOW
DID WE SET THEM IN TWO THOUSAND
THIRTEEN FOURTEEN.
AND SO THE FIRST TABLE HERE
SHOWS WHAT THE ACTUAL RATES WILL
BE UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S TWO
THOUSAND EIGHTEEN NINETEEN
BUDGET PROPOSAL. AND BASICALLY
WE THE STATE TOOK.
THREE STEPS IN SETTING THESE
RATES AND THIRTEEN FOURTEEN
FIRST
WE RETURN TO THE PRE RECESSION
FUNDING LEVELS THAT WERE GIVEN
OUT.
FOR GENERAL PURPOSE.
AMOUNTS OF WE UNDID THE CUTS
THAT WERE MADE DURING THE GREAT
RECESSION.
THEN WE INCREASED EACH OF THOSE
RATES
PROVIDED.
ON FOR.
GRADE SPANS
OF BY ADD TO IN TWO WAYS FIRST
WE INCREASED ALL FOUR.
GRADE SPAN RATES BY ABOUT FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS.
AND SECOND WE PROVIDED
ADDITIONAL AUGMENTATIONS FOR THE
CAPE THREE AND HIGH SCHOOL BASE
RATES WHICH REFLECTED SPECIFIC
POLICY PRIORITIES CLASS SIZE
REDUCTION.
FOR THE LOWER GRADES AND CAREER
TECHNICAL EDUCATION FOR.
NOW IN ADDITION TO THE GENERAL
PURPOSE FUNDING.
WE ALSO PROVIDED SOME
SUPPLEMENTAL IN CONCENTRATION
GRANT FUNDING
PACIFIC WE FOR E. L. L. I.
STUDENTS BUT BEFORE I MOVE ON TO
THAT. JUST ONE AND NOTE THAT THE
SPECIFIC CALCULATIONS WE MADE
AND SETTING THESE BASE RATES IN
TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN FOURTEEN.
A WE'RE NOT MEANT TO BE A FINAL
ANSWER ON THIS IS THE
APPROPRIATE LEVEL FUNDING OF
HEARD K. TWELVE EDUCATION THESE
WERE INTENDED TO BE MODERATELY
AMBITIOUS TARGETS OF FOR GENERAL
PURPOSE FUNDING.
AND SO AGAIN WE OWE AT REACHING
FULL IMPLEMENTATION HAVE TO
RETURN TO THIS.
A FUNDAMENTAL QUESTION OF WHAT
IS AN APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF
FUNDING FOR ALL SCHOOLS AND HOW
SHOULD WE TARGET FUNDING
SPECIFICALLY FOR DISADVANTAGED.
ON THAT SECOND QUESTION HOW WE
ANSWERED THIS
A IN THIRTEEN FOURTEEN
DISTRUSTING ON PAGE TWO.
IN MANY WAYS SUPPLEMENTAL A
CONCENTRATION GRANT FUNDING WAS
SEEN AS A SUCCESSOR FOR THE
CATEGORICAL FUNDING THAT WAS
ROLLED INTO ALL CFF. BUT IT
DIFFERS FROM THAT CATEGORICAL
FUNDING IN TWO IMPORTANT WAYS
ONE IT'S NOTABLY LARGER
SO IF YOU ADJUST THE CATEGORICAL
DOLLARS THAT WE ROLLED INTO LCF
EFFORT
FELICIA.
FIND THOSE ABOUT SEVEN BILLION
DOLLARS IN SEVENTEEN EIGHTEEN.
BUT THE SUPPLEMENTAL IN
CONCENTRATION GRANTS TO ARE
WORTH A LITTLE MORE THAN NINE
BILLION.
BUT THE SECOND IN ADDITION TO
BEING LARGER IT'S MUCH MORE
TARGETED TO SPECIFIC STUDENT
DEMOGRAPHIC GROUPS SO WHERE IS
IN THE PAST.
A DISTRICTS RECEIVE CATEGORICAL
FUNDING FOR A NUMBER OF FREEZE.
NOW DISTRICTS ONLY RECEIVE
SUPPLEMENTAL IN CONCENTRATION
GRANT FUNDING BASED ON THE
NUMBER OF ENGLISH LEARNER AND.
SIR.
THIS IS NOT TO SAY THAT WE LEFT
DISTRICTS SERVING FEW ARE NONE
OF THOSE STUDENTS OUT IN THE
COLD AS WE'VE DESCRIBED. ON PAGE
THREE THE LC FF DID INCLUDE A
NUMBER OF ADD ON PROVISIONS
SPECIFICALLY TO BENEFIT.
DISTRICTS THAT SERVE RELATIVELY
FEW DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.
BUT THESE TEND TO BE RELATIVELY
SMALL COMPARED TO THE FUNDING
PROVIDED FOR SUPPLEMENTAL
INCOMES.
NOW CONSEQUENTLY AS THE FIGURE
ON PAGE FOUR SHOWS.
I'D THE MOVE TO LC FF HAS
SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED THE AMOUNT
OF FUNDING THAT'S PROVIDED
SPECIFICALLY TO HIGH POVERTY
DISTRICTS.
SO EVEN BEFORE EL CFF IS WHICH
ON THIS FIGURE HIGH POVERTY
DISTRICTS SPENT MORE PER
STUDENT.
THEN LOW POVERTY DISTRICTS IN
THIS IS BECAUSE EVEN UNDER THE
OLD CATEGORICAL SYSTEM MANY OF
THOSE CATEGORICAL AS WERE
TARGETED TOWARDS DISADVANTAGED
STUDENT GROUPS.
HOWEVER ELSE EFF IS NOTABLY MORE
TARGETED AND AND SO WE'VE SEEN
THAT DIFFERENCE GROW.
CURRENTLY ARE IN THE LATEST
STATE OF THIS IS FROM TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN SIXTEEN WE WE
SAW HIGH POVERTY DISTRICTS
SPEND.
A LITTLE OVER TWENTY PERCENT
MORE THAN LOW POVERTY.
HOWEVER AND THIS IS DOCUMENTED
ON THE FIGURE ON PAGE FIVE.
SPIKE THAT A.
SIGNIFICANT DIFFERENCE AND
EXPENDITURES PER STUDENT SO WE
NOTE THAT THE.
BASS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
OFFERED BY. A HIGH POVERTY
DISTRICTS CONTINUE TO BE OF
SOMEWHAT LESSER QUALITY THAN
THOSE OFFERED BY LAW.
OF POVERTY DISTRICTS AND IN
PARTICULAR IF YOU LOOK AT THE
STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIO.
BETWEEN THESE TWO DIFFERENT
DISTRICTS WHILE THAT GAP IS
CLOSED SOMEWHAT HIGH POVERTY
DISTRICTS STILL. TEND OFFER
LARGER CLASS SIZES AND THEY
STILL TEND TO. OFFER LESS
COMPETITIVE TEACHER PAY AND LOW
POVERTY DISTRICT.
HOW CAN THIS BE WHEN THEY
SPENDING SO MUCH MORE MONEY IT'S
BECAUSE HIGH POVERTY DISTRICTS?
ALL OFFER MANY MORE SERVICES
THAT LOW POVERTY DISTRICTS OTHER
DON'T OFFER DON'T OFFER TO THE
SAME DEGREE THINGS LIKE TRUANCY
PREVENTION.
KYRIE
SCHOOL HEALTH OF THESE TAKE SUCH
A SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF
DISTRICT EXPENDITURES AWAY THAT
THERE'S LESS MONEY LEFT OVER TO
SPEND ON YOUR BASE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM.
TEACHER IN THE CLASSROOM.
NOW WITH THOSE FINDINGS ED IN
MIND BUT THE BIG QUESTION.
UNDER LC FF WAS.
WHAT CAN THE STATE DUE TO
ADDRESSED THE PERSISTENT
ACHIEVEMENT GAP WE FIND BETWEEN
STUDENTS FROM DISADVANTAGED
GROUPS AND ALL OTHER STUDENTS?
WELL WAY DRESS AND PAGE SIX
WHICH IS TO SAY.
A. UNDER THE AVAILABLE
INFORMATION WE HAVE RIGHT NOW
UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT SEEN
THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
DIDN'T DESPITE THIS NOTABLE
CHANGE AND THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING
PROVIDED
FOR HIGH POVERTY DISTRICTS.
OF LOW INCOME STUDENTS STILL
PERFORM MUCH WORSE IN STATE
ASSESSMENTS THEN.
THEIR NON LOW INCOME
COUNTERPARTS
WILL EVINCING THAT GAP CHANGE
SIGNIFICANTLY OVER THE LAST
THREE YEARS OF TESTING DATA
WE'RE ALSO HAVEN'T SEEN THAT GAP
BUSH NOTABLY. AND THE NATIONAL
ASSESSMENT.
OF EDUCATIONAL PROGRESS IN THAT
DATA THAT WE HAVE AVAILABLE.
ALL THAT SAID.
A. WE THINK THAT. FULL
IMPLEMENTATION OF LC FF.
INVITES
SOME BROADER POLICY DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT THE FUTURE SCHOOL FINANCE
WAIT WE HAVE OUTLINED A FEW
SPECIFIC OPTIONS STARTING ON
PAGE SEVEN.
A THE FIRST IS TO INCREASE THE
BASE RATES AND AS WE HEARD FROM
THE PREVIOUS PANELIST.
UGH DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE
ARE EXPERIENCING.
.
COST PRESSURES FROM PENSIONS
FROM SPECIAL EDUCATION AND OTHER
SOURCES OF MANY OF THOSE
DISTRICTS OF SAID THAT THEIR TOP
PRIORITY IS FOR THE STATE TO
PROVIDE MORE GENERAL PURPOSE
FUNDING. OF WE ESTIMATE THAT AN
INCREASE OF ABOUT ONE PERCENT OF
THE BASE RATE WILL COST THE
STATE ABOUT SIX HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS. BECAUSE SUPPLEMENTAL IN
CONCENTRATION GRANT FUNDING IS
BASED ON WHAT THOSE BASE RATES
ARE.
ANY INCREASE TO THE BASE RATE
WILL NATURALLY INCREASE FUNDING
FOR SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONCENTRATE
JIM GRANT FOR.
WELL.
ESOS OF THAT SIX HUNDRED
MILLION FOR INCREASING BASE
RATES BY ONE PERCENT WE WE
ESTIMATE. A LITTLE OVER ONE
HUNDRED MILLION WOULD GO
SPECIFICALLY FOR SUPPLEMENTAL
INCOME.
NON ALTERNATIVE WOULD BE.
TO FOCUS SPECIFICALLY ON AYE
INCREASING THE RESOURCES FOR
HIGH POVERTY DISTRICTS OF MEAN
INCREASING THE RATES WE PROVIDE
FOR SUPPLEMENTAL AND CONCENTRATE
IN FRANCE.
OH WE ESTIMATE THAT DOING SO I
INCREASING THE SUPPLEMENTAL RATE
FROM TWENTY PERCENT OF THE BASE
RATE TO TWENTY ONE PERCENT WERE
CAUSED BY TWO HUNDRED MILLION.
INCREASING THAT CONCENTRATION
GRANT FUNDING.
FROM FIFTY PERCENT TO FIFTY ONE
PERCENT COST BETS.
AND.
AND AN ALTERNATIVE APPROACH THAT
WOULD ALSO INCREASE SUPPLEMENTAL
ANA CONCENTRATION GRANT FUNDING
WOULD BE TO. OF REVISIT DECISION
THAT THE STATE MAIN TO COUNT
STUDENTS
WHO FALL INTO MULTIPLE
DISADVANTAGE CATEGORIES ONLY
ONCE SO RIGHT NOW WE USE ON
DUPLICATED COUNTS OF ENGLISH
LEARNERS AND LOW INCOME
STUDENTS.
AND M. MEANS IF YOU HAPPEN TO BE
FROM A LOW INCOME FAMILY AND
ALSO HAPPEN TO BE IN ENGLISH
LEARNER YOU COUNT ONLY ONCE
TOWARDS GENERATING SUPPLEMENT ON
CONCENTRATION GRANT FUNDING.
NOW YOU COULD ARGUE THAT THAT
PRACTICE DOESN'T MAKE A WHOLE
LOT OF SENSE BECAUSE.
A A STUDENT WHO IT FALLS IN TO
BOTH CATEGORIES LIKELY REQUIRES
THE SUPPORTS.
THAT ARE PROVIDED TO EACH OF
THOSE CATEGORIES SO THAT WOULD
BE ADDED IF IF YOU WANTED TO
DUPLICATE THOSE COUNTS IT WOULD
BE.
QUITE EXPENSIVE JUST ON THE
SUPPLEMENTAL SIDE WE ESTIMATE
THAT COUNTING EACH STUDENT WHO
IS BOTH ENGLISH LEARNER AND LOW
INCOME TWICE WOULD COST THE
STATE ABOUT TWO BILLION DOLLARS
MORE THAN WE CURRENTLY PROVIDE.
ON THE LAST PAGE WE TALK ABOUT.
A FEW REMAINING OPTIONS ONE IS
TO REVISIT.
AN ELEMENT OF THE CONCENTRATION.
.
FUNDING IS PROVIDED SO CURRENTLY
THIS FUNDING IS ONLY PROVIDED TO
DISTRICTS.
I'D THAT SERVE IN EXCESS OF
FIFTY FIVE PERCENT.
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS ON THAT
ON DUPLICATED COUNT.
I'D SO THAT MEANS DISTRICTS
THAT.
A.
SERVE. OF FIFTY FIVE PERCENT OR
MORE THE STUDENTS WHO ARE EITHER
ENGLISH LEARNER ARE OF LOW
INCOME GENERATE SOME
CONCENTRATION GRANT FUNDING
THOSE WHOSE
FEWER THOSE STUDENTS OUT SERVE
I'VE DON'T RECEIVE THAT FUNDING.
HOWEVER THIS IS NOT A
PARTICULARLY LARGE BAR A.
IN FACT.
A LITTLE LESS THAN SIXTY PERCENT
OF CALIFORNIA DISTRICTS
CURRENTLY RECEIVE CONCENTRATION
GRANTS.
OF THE INTENT OF THAT FUNDING
WAS TO TARGET SPECIFIC WITH THE
HIGHEST POVERTY DISTRICTS
AND THE STATE. THE LEGISLATURE
MIGHT WANNA CONSIDER RAISING
THAT THRESHOLD TO BETTER TARGET
THAT FUNDING TOWARDS ITS
DISTRICTS.
AND A FINAL ISSUE WOULD BE TO
REVISIT. THE SPENDING
RESTRICTIONS.
RELATED TO SUPPLEMENT OWN COM.
SO CURRENTLY THE STATE BOARD
HAS.
PUT OUT.
I HAD SEVERAL REGULATIONS
REGARDING. HOW THESE FUNDS ARE
TO BE EXPANDED GENERALLY?
FUNDS
GENERATED BY ENGLISH LEARNER LOW
INCOME STUDENTS MUST BE SPENT ON
TARGETED SERVICES FOR THOSE
STUDENTS THERE ARE SOME
EXCEPTIONS.
BUT WE FIND IN MANY CASES
DISTRICTS ARE FOLLOWING THAT
APPROACH THEY ARE SPENDING THESE
ADDITIONAL.
FUNDS ON TARGETED SERVICES THAT
DOES AGAIN MEAN THAT THEY HAVE
FEWER RESOURCES LEFT OVER TO
IMPROVE THEIR PLACE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS.
THAT MIGHT BE A REASON WHY.
AND THE LEGISLATURE WOULD BE
INTERESTING RELAXING THOSE
SPENDING RESTRICTIONS.
ON THE OTHER HAND MANY GROUPS.
MANY COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS
HAVE MENTIONED CONCERN THAT IT'S
DIFFICULT TO VERIFY THAT IN FACT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE SPENDING
THESE.
FUNDS ON TARGETED SERVICES AS
OPPOSED TO SAY ACROSS THE BOARD
SALARY INCREASES AND THEY'VE
ASKED THE LEGISLATURE TO
INCREASE THE FISCAL
TRANSPARENCY.
ON SCHOOL SPENDING DECISIONS
REGARDING.
OUT THE ADMINISTRATION TALKED
ABOUT A SPECIFIC PROPOSAL THEY
HAVE FOR INCREASING THAT
TRANSPARENCY WE WE HAVE SOME
CONCERNS WITH A PROPOSAL WE
DON'T THINK IT. IT ADDS
SIGNIFICANT BENEFIT TO THE
INFORMATION THAT'S ALREADY
AVAILABLE IN ALL CAPS IT WOULD
IN MANY WAYS. JUST TAKE THE
INFORMATION THAT'S ALREADY
AVAILABLE IN HELL CAPS
AND PLACE IT ON BUDGETS.
WHICH THEMSELVES ARE ALREADY A
LONG AND COMPLICATED DOCUMENT.
NOTE WE THINK THE LEGISLATURE'S
FOCUS WITH. A. THE BETTER
TARGETED AT SIMPLIFYING THE EL
CAP ITSELF.
FINALLY I'VE BEEN ASKED TO
HIGHLIGHT A SPECIFIC.
PROPOSAL.
ADVANCED BY THE CHAIR AND OTHER
SENATORS
I'D TO BOTH INCREASE LCF A
FUNDING SO THIS WOULD BE THE
FIRST OPTION
INCREASED BASE RATES BY ABOUT
TWO PERCENT AND IT'S A COST OF
ABOUT ONE POINT TWO BILLION. OF
WHICH ABOUT TWO HUNDRED MILLION
WOULD GO TO SUPPLEMENT ON
CONCERT.
TING AND ALSO.
WOULD ADD A SECTION TO THE EL
CAP THAT WOULD.
.
A IN SIMPLE TERMS GIVE SOME A
TRANSPARENCY ON HOW SUPPLEMENT
ON CONCENTRATION GRANT. FUNDING
WAS SPENT.
I DON'T IF THAT'S AND IN MY
PREPARED REMARKS BUT HAVEN'T
ANSWERED QUESTIONS.
YOU GET AFTERNOON IF IF IN.
THAT'S VERY GOOD AFTERNOON DEBRA
BROWN AND HAVE THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION AT TOM DRUGS AND
I'LL BE BRIEF IN MY REMARKS BOTH
BECAUSE. YOU PROVIDED AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE
SUPERINTENDENTS
TWO WEEKS AGO BUT THEN I THINK
MR READY AT MISTER ANDERSON
PROVIDED GOOD OVERVIEWS OF THAT
NOT ONLY LCF AT THAT MAP BUT
ALSO THE OPTIONS BEFORE THE
LEGISLATURE. SO I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT THE SUPERINTENDENT
CONTINUES TO STRONGLY SUPPORT
LCF AB AND SUPPORT THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL FOR FULL
IMPLEMENTATION BUT AS HE NOTED
I'M TWO WEEKS AGO WE DON'T THINK
THAT'S ENOUGH SO WOULD AGREE
WITH.
PROPOSALS OUT THERE TO INCREASE
FUNDING FOR LC FF JUST BECAUSE
YOU KNOW AS WAS NOTED IT DOES
RESTORE US TO JUST TWO THOUSAND
SEVEN A FUNDING LEVELS WHICH I
THINK WE ALL IN THE EDUCATION.
COMMUNITY ARGUED AT THE TIME
WHEN ENOUGH SO THEY CERTAINLY
NOT ENOUGH NOW AND IT'S GETTING
US AS WELL YOU KNOW WE ARE
STARTING TO SEE ALL OF THE
PIECES ARE COMING INTO PLACE OF
WHEN WE THINK ABOUT. I'M AND
WE'LL TALK MORE IN DEPTH THAT
THE ON THE NEXT TWO PANELS
REALLY AROUND WHAT ELSE IF
THAT'S ENVISIONED. ON NOT ONLY
IN TERMS OF THE FUNDING SIDE BUT
ALSO ON THE CAN AT THE
ACCOUNTABILITY IN THE SUPPORT
SITE THOSE PIECES ARE ALL.
COMING IN PLACE UP COMING INTO
PLACE AND SO WE'RE SEEING SOME
EVIDENCE A THROUGH THE LEARNING
POLICY INSTITUTE REPORT THAT
THAT MORE DOLLARS ARE GOING INTO
THE CLASSROOM WHICH WAS THE AND
WHICH WAS THE INTENT AND I THINK
AS WE SEE. THAT THE
ACCOUNTABILITY STRUCTURE ON THE
SUPPORT STRUCTURE COME INTO PLAY
UP THAT THAT RECOMMENDATION FROM
THE SUPERINTENDENT BEAT IT TO
INCREASE FUNDING FOR ELSA HOUSE
FF AND AND MAINTAIN THE COURSE
WE WOULD ONE AT. A CREATE THE
INSTABILITY THAT MR FIND TALKED
ABOUT EARLIER SO AND HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
WOULD YOU LISTEN TO ME MISTER
MICHAEL FINE KINDA GIVE HIS
ANALYSIS.
AND REMEMBER WE'RE LOOKING OUT
IN THE FUTURE WE START TO SEE
SOME REAL DIFFICULTIES.
I'M DO YOU WANT TO.
MAKE ANY COMMENTS
IS JUST A TWO PERCENT INCREASE
GATHERED.
DO IT FOR OUR EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM.
.
YEAH AT.
I I.
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE Y. THE
QUESTIONS BEING ASKED BECAUSE IN
MANY WAYS IT IS
IMPORTANT QUESTION I I'M NOT
SURE THAT THERE ISN'T AN
ANALYTICAL ANSWERS.
OR OR A STATEWIDE ANSWER TO
THAT QUESTION
I'D DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE
ARE EXPERIENCING.
VERY DIFFERENT.
CROSS PRESSURES THEY'RE DEALING
WITH THOSE IN VERY DIFFERENT
WAYS I I THINK IT'S SOMETHING
THAT IT STATE IS GOING TO HAVE
TO CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH. A
YEAR BY YEAR BASIS AS NEW
FUNDING BECAUSE
MOBILE.
I THINK I WOULD AGREE WITH
MISTER ANDERSON'S COMMENTS AND
VINCA BUT MISTER FINE PUT IT
VERY ACCURATELY THE STATE OF.
WHAT'S WHAT'S HAPPENING WITH
DISTRICTS GOING THROUGHOUT
THEIR.
IT'S SOMETHING CERTAINLY WERE
CONSIDERING AND TO THE EXTENT
THAT I THINK I DON'T MEMBER WHO
WHETHER IT WAS AT ONE OF THE
MEMBERS OR OF MISTER FIND
HIMSELF BUT. HE SAID THAT
ADDITIONAL REVENUES ARE
AVAILABLE IN FUTURE YEARS THAT'S
ONLY GONNA BE SOMETHING THAT'S
NOT AT THE DISCRETION OF THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION TO DECIDE HOW
THOSE ARE GOING TO BE ALLOCATED
WHETHER WITHIN I'LL SEE IF I
FOR.
SOME OTHER.
AVENUE BUT IT'S NOT SOMETHING
WE HAVE.
PACIFIC WE CONTEMPLATED IT AT
THIS TIME.
WILL THE BUDGET IS REALLY DRIVEN
BY DEAL AFTER THE GOVERNOR AND.
LAST YEAR WE HAD THIS UNIQUE
OPPORTUNITY THERE.
GIVE SIX BILLION DOLLARS TO
CALPERS HAS YOUR DEPARTMENT
LOOKED AT.
DOING SOMETHING SIMILAR.
MCALISTER'S.
AND WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AT DOING
SOMETHING.
SIMILAR SPECIFICALLY TELL YOU
HAVE SOME KIND OF SET ASIDE FOR
CAL STORES AND I THINK I WOULD
NOTE I'D LIKE TO MENTION THAT
THE UNDER SINCE THE PASSAGE OF
BILLS IF AFTER NOW WITH A
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. SCHOOLS WHO HAVE
RECEIVED A TWENTY BILLION
DOLLARS NOW THE ONGOING MONEY
COMPARED TO A PRE LCF LEVELS
THEY ALSO RECEIVE NOW WITH OUR
PROPOSAL AND IN EIGHTEEN
NINETEEN A TOTAL OF SEVEN AND A
HALF BILLION DOLLARS. THROUGH
DISCUSSED DISCRETIONARY ONE TIME
PAYMENTS TO PROP NINETY EIGHT AS
WELL THAT.
THEY CAN USE FOR A SLEW OF
ACTIVITY SOME OF THAT CAN BE ON
EITHER HAVE THE DISCRETION TO
MAKE THAT.
WHETHER IT BE FOR DAHLE COST
PENSION HOUSE AGAIN MISTER FIND
MENTION THAT THEY OFTEN SUGGEST
BEING CAREFUL TO DISTRICTS OF.
PUTTING THOSE WORDS ONGOING
COMMITMENTS BUT.
THEY HAVE HAD THOSE THOSE
REVENUES.
AND IT'S CERTAINLY SOMETHING
THAT I THINK WE WILL HIGHLIGHT
ITS WELL.
UNDER THE LC FIVE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS HAVE INCREASED
FLEXIBILITY TO ADDRESS THEIR
NEEDS AND.
SALARIES AND THEREFORE PENSIONS
ARE ARE LARGELY LOCALLY
DETERMINED AND AS MR FIND.
MENTION AS WELL.
THE CULTURES RATES ARE
SOMETHING THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS
HAVE HAVE KNOWN ABOUT HAVE SEEN
COMING THE FUNDING PLAN THE NEW
FUNDING PLAN WITH THE INCREASES.
WAS PUT IN PLACE AND FOURTEEN
FIFTEEN AND SO ON I THINK IT'S
PART OF THE BROADER.
SYSTEM OF SUPPORT STRUCTURE
OCHAB PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT
BUDGET DEVELOPMENT.
WE EXPECT THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS
CONTINUED UP PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
SO THAT THEY THEY CAN ADDRESS
THOSE THOSE COST.
I BELIEVE IN LOCAL CONTROL BUT I
ALSO UNDERSTAND THEIR THOUGHTS
PRESSURES ON THOSE BOARD MEMBERS
BY CERTAIN INTEREST GROUPS.
SO I JUST SEE A TRAIN WRECK IN
SLOW MOTION SO MAYBE GOVERNOR
BROWN SQUEAKS BY BUT THE NEXT
GOVERNOR JUST WHAT RUNS INTO A
WALL.
SO I'M I'M JUST CONCERNED OVER
THE.
MAKE SURE YEARS WHAT WE'RE GOING
TO BE DEALING WITH IN THIS
LITTLE ROOM.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR.
UPDATE IF I MAY JUST JUMP ON
THAT I I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THAT
IN OUR OFFICES RECENT.
ANNOUNCES THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
PROPOSAL WE INCLUDED A CHAPTER
DISCUSSING.
PENSION COST INCREASES FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS BECAUSE THIS IS
A CONCERN WE WE HEAR FROM ACROSS
THE STATE IN THAT CHAPTER WE DID
SPECIFICALLY DISCUSS A. AS AN
OPTION THAT THE LEGISLATURE TO
CONSIDER WOULD BE AT THE STATE
MAKING A PREPAYMENT ON BEHALF OF
DISTRICTS FOR FUTURE PENSION
OBLIGATIONS. A NOW WILL THERE'D
BE A LOT OF QUESTIONS IF WE WENT
DOWN THAT ROAD WE DO THINK THAT
WOULD.
IN ORDER TO MAKE IT SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT ON A DISTRICT BUDGET
DECISIONS THE STATE WOULD HAVE
TO ALLOCATE AND SEVERAL HUNDRED
MILLION AT LEAST BUT IT WOULD BE
AN OPTION ONE ADDITIONAL.
THOUGHT WE'D LIKE TO.
.
GIVE THERE IS THAT WE DO THINK
OF THE STATE WERE TO CONSIDER
THAT OPTION THAT RATHER THAN
STRUCTURING IT SIMILAR TO THE
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT GIVEN TAKE
CALPERS LAST YEAR WHICH WAS.
DESIGNED AS A LOAN OF WHEAT WE
DO THINK THAT THE STATE SHOULD
JUST FIND.
.
THE FUNDING EITHER ON THE PROP
NINETY EIGHT OR NINE PROP NINETY
EIGHT CITED GIVEN UP FRONT GRANT
FOR. THOSE COASTERS PAYMENTS.
THANK YOU.
I THINK EVERYBODY.
AT LEAST IN THIS ROOM IS AN
AGREEMENT THAT WE GOTTA FIND
MORE RESOURCES FOR.
EDUCATION IN CALIFORNIA JUST THE
NATURE ARE SIGNIFICANTLY GREAT.
MIATA PARA ABOUT.
SOFT WARM AND I'M PLEASED TO
SEE.
THERE WERE TWO YEARS AHEAD OF
SCHEDULE BUT IT STILL
INADEQUATE.
AND I'M.
PLEASED TO SEE THAT THE FOCUS ON
THE PROPOSAL TO INCREASE THE THE
BASE BY THE ONE POINT TWO
BILLION I'M AND SEE WHAT THE MAY
REVISED HOPEFULLY.
BUT BE SOME MORE RESOURCES
AVAILABLE.
.
AND OBVIOUSLY HAVING
DISCRETIONARY FUNDS GIVES
DISTRICTS THAT LOCAL CONTROL TO.
TO FIGURE OUT I MEAN I HEAR A
LOT FROM TRANSPORTATION
OBVIOUSLY SPECIAL ED.
COSTS ARE ARE SIGNIFICANT WE
TALKED EARLIER ABOUT PASADENA I
KNOW.
THE CONCENTRATION OF FOSTER
YOUTH AND SPECIAL ED NEEDS.
I THINK WE NEED TO PUT OUR HEADS
TOGETHER AND COME UP WITH A
BETTER FORMULA TO.
TO MAKE SURE THAT THE.
THE REAL COST OF THE STUDENTS.
.
GETS PAID FOR.
SO.
I THINK I THINK MR I WANT TO BE
HERE FOR THIS PART BUT I.
THINK GONNA MOVE ON TO THE NEXT
PANEL SO THANK YOU.
MISS BROWN I WILL FORGET SHOULD
THIS.
IT.
WELL SOMETIMES YOU JUST SAY
WHAT'S BEEN SAID IT'S BEEN SAID
AND I'M HERE TO ANSWER
QUESTIONS.
STATEWIDE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
STRUCTURE.
WHOSE FIRST.
MY.
GO AHEAD.
GOOD MORNING AND SARAH COURT HAS
WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE WE'RE ASKED TO PROVIDE AN
OVERVIEW OF THE STATE'S
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM INCLUDING
A BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE ROLES
OF THE ACTORS IN THE STATE
SYSTEM.
AFTER I GO OVER THE OVERVIEW OF
THE CURRENT SYSTEM ALL DISCUSS
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSALS
INCLUDING OUR ASSESSMENTS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS. WE'VE DEVELOPED
TO HAND OUT THE CONTRIBUTED
RIGHT NOW I WILL GO THROUGH
EVERYTHING IN SPECIFIC DETAILS
AND ACTUALLY THE LAST TWO PAGES
OF THE HAND OUT.
ALL DISCUSS AN EXIGENT ITEM.
BUT I DO WANT TO NOTE THAT
ISSUES THREE FOUR AND FIVE ALL
CONTRIBUTE TO WHAT THE WHAT THE
STATE'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM A
LOOKED LIKE UNDER THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL SO SOME OF WHAT I
DISCUSS. IN THIS OVERVIEW OF
ACCOUNTABILITY IN CALIFORNIA
WILL BECOME MORE RELEVANT AND
THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM.
SO TO START ON PAGE ONE OF THE
HANDOUT.
THE CHANGE OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM BEGAN IN TWENTY THIRTEEN
AS PART OF THE ADOPTION OF ELSE
IF UP THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING
FORMULA. ATTACH THE LEGISLATION
THAT CREATED ELF THE AFFECT WAS
A NEW ACCOUNTABILITY FRAMEWORK
THAT'S BEEN ROLLED OUT OVER MANY
YEARS.
FOR THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS AS
PART OF THE NEW FRAMEWORK THE
STATE ADOPTED ITS THE PRIORITY
AREAS IS A SAY PRAIRIE AREA ARE
LISTED IN THE FIRST BULLET.
ON THE HAND OUT AND THERE TO
STATUTORILY DEFINED AREAS THAT
SPECIFY THE KEY THINGS.
THE STATE THINGS ARE THE MOST
IMPORTANT FOR DISTRICTS AND
SCHOOLS TO FOCUS ON.
AND EACH PRIORITY AREAS LINKED
TO A STATUTORILY DEFINED
PERFORMANCE MEASURE THAT
DETERMINESHOW WELL ON SCHOOLS
DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS ARE DOING.
SO THE STATE.
ALSO PUT IN PLACE LOCAL CONTROL
ACCOUNTABILITY PLANS WERE
DISTRICTS DEVELOP A PLAN WITH
GOALS AND ACTION ON HOW THEY
PLAN TO IMPROVE IN THE EIGHT
STATE PRIORITY AREAS.
THIS IS NOW THE FOURTH YEAR THAT
DISTRICTS HAVE ADOPTED EL CAPS
IN DISTRICTS HAVE TO GO OUT AND
GET FEEDBACK FROM THE
COMMUNITIES AND THE ULTIMATELY
HAVE TO GET THEIR HEALTH CAPS
APPROVED BY THEIR COUNTY OFFICES
OF EDUCATION.
SO NOW PRIORITY AREAS
PERFORMANCE MEASURES IN ALL CAPS
THEY ALL WORK TOGETHER FOR
EXAMPLE FOR A DISTRICT
DEVELOPMENT ALCOTT THEY HAVE
TYPICAL THAT FOCUSES ON THE
PRIORITY AREA. SO LET'S SAY
STERN ENGAGEMENT ON THE
PERFORMANCE MEASURE FOR SHOOTING
GAME IMAGE GRADUATION RATES SO
NOW DISTRICT WILL HAVE TO HAVE A
GOAL THAT DETAILS THE STEP
IT HOW THEY WILL IMPROVE THE
GRADUATION RATE AND I'LL COP.
SO MOVING ON TO PAGE TWO OF THE
HAND OUT I'M WE DISCUSS
EVALUATION RUBRICS.
WHICH OUR STATE WOULD SEE LAW
REQUIRED ONTHE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION TO DO. TO DEVELOP TO
ASSESS A DISTRICT PERFORMANCE ON
THE PRIORITY AREAS THAT RESULTS
UNTIL THE RESULTS OF THE
EVALUATION RUBRIC ARE DISPLAYED
IN THE DASHBOARD WHICH BECAME
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE DECEMBER OF
TWENTY SEVENTEEN.
ON THERE ARE NONE.
THE RESULTS ARE MEANT TO.
THE RESULT OF THE RUBRIC ARE
MEANT TO IDENTIFY DISTRICTS THAT
NEED ASSISTANCE ARE ALSO MEANT
TO BE USED AS A TOOL FOR
DISTRICTS.
TO IDENTIFY THEIR OWN STRENGTHS
AND WEAKNESSES.
AND THEY DO THIS YOUR
PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND
THERE'S TWO TYPES OF PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS THE FIRST IS. THE
STATE PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND
THIS IS WHERE WE HAVE STATEWIDE
DATA THAT'S COLLECTED ACROSS THE
STATE FOR SCHOOLS FOR SCHOOL FOR
SCHOOLS FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS FOR
INDIVIDUAL STUDENT GROUPS. AND
IT'S DISPLAYED ON THE DASHBOARD
AS A COLOR TO INDICATE
PERFORMANCE FOR ISSUED A GROUP.
PERFORMANCE IS DEPENDENT ON THE
OVERALL PERFORMANCE AND ALSO
IMPROVEMENT OF GROWTH OVER TIME.
ANY OTHER KIND OF INDICATORS
CALL LOCAL PERFORMANCE
INDICATORS AND THESE ARE AREAS
WHERE THE STATE DOES NOT HAVE
UNIFORM CONSISTENT STATEWIDE
DATA BUT.
BUT.
THAT CAN BE USED HAD A GREAT
PERFORMANCE.
BASED ON THESE DIFFERENT
CATEGORIES.
SO MOVING ALONG TO PAGE THREE
THIS IS WHERE I WILL DISCUSS HOW
EVERYTHING I'VE JUST TALKED
ABOUT RELATES TO HOW THE CITY IS
SUPPORTING DISTRICTS.
UNDER THE STATE USES DATA FROM
THE PERFORMANCEINDICATORS TO
IDENTIFY DISTRICTS AND YOU
SUPPORT THE STATE LOOKS AT EVERY
STUDENT GROUP PERFORMANCE OF FOR
EVERY PRIORITY AREA. IF THE SUB
GROUP IS IN THE LOWEST
PERFORMANCE CATEGORY FOR TWO OR
MORE PRIORITY AREAS. THE
DISTRICT WILL BE DESIGNATED AS
NEEDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT.
NOW THE DISTRICT CONTINUES TO
HAVE STUDENTS A GROUP THE LOWEST
PERFORMANCE CATEGORY FOR. THREE
OF FOUR CONSECUTIVE YEARS THEY
WILL BE DESIGNATED TO RECEIVE US
INTENSIVE INTERVENTION.
THE STATE FIRST USE CRITERIA ON
TO IDENTIFY DISTRICTS THEY NEED
SUPPORT IN DECEMBER OF TWENTY
SEVENTEEN WHICH RESULTED IN TWO
HUNDRED AND TWENTY EIGHT
DISTRICTS BEEN IDENTIFIED. THE
MOST COMMON REASON A DISTRICT
WAS IDENTIFIED AS NEEDING
SUPPORT WASFOR SPECIAL
EDUCATION STUDENTS SPECIFICALLY
FOR LOW TEST SCORES AND HIGH
SUSPENSION RATES.
COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION WHAT
OSCAR WHICH I'LL DESCRIBE IN
MORE DETAIL ON THE NEXT PAGE ARE
DOESN'T ARE THE DESIGNATED AND
TO TEACH TO SUPPORT IDENTIFIED
DISTRICTS THE LANGUAGE DOESN'T
GIVE SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS ON
WHAT COUNTIES HAVE TO DO TO
SUPPORT THE DISTRICTS. BUT
SUPPORT CAN INCLUDE IDENTIFYING
DISTRICT STRENGTH AND WEAKNESSES
ASSIGNING ACADEMIC EXPERTS
REQUESTING THE COLLABORATIVE TO
PROVIDE ASSISTANCE TO THE
DISTRICT.
NOW I'M MOVING ON TO PAGE FOR
THIS AS WELL TRANSITION FROM
TELLING YOU ABOUT THE DETAILS OF
THE STATE FAITH ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM. AND ARE NOW DISCUSS THE
RULES OF THE ENTITIES THAT ARE
INVOLVED IN THE SYSTEM IN THEIR
OTHER ROLES RESPONSIBILITIES IN
THEIR FUNDING.
SO ON PAGE FOUR I DISCUSSED
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION.
COUNTY OFFICES CURRENTLY RECEIVE
I'LL SEE IF I FUNDING WHICH IS
VERY DIFFERENT FROM DISTRICTS
WEALTHIER FUNDING. IT'S DERIVED
FROM A TWO PART FORMULA AND THE
FORMULA GENERATES APPROXIMATELY
A BILLION DOLLARS ACROSS ALL
COUNTY OFFICE THAT
OCCASION.
COUNTY OFFICES CONDUCT A HOST OF
STATE REQUIRED ACTIVITIES SUCH
AS AL CAPP REVIEW. AND COUNTIES
ALSO USER LCF A FUNDING TO PRIDE
UP TO PROVIDE A HOST OF OPTIONAL
ACTIVITIES TO SUPPORT. ALL THE
DISTRICTS WITHIN THEIR COUNTY
LIKE PAYROLL PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT. AND WE ESTIMATE
THAT COUNTY OFFICE ELSE IF A
FUNDING SPEND WEEKS ESTIMATE
THAT MOST OF COUNTY OFFICE
SPENDING IS SPENT ON ON OPTIONAL
DISTRICT SERVICES. WERE SIX
HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION OTHER ONE
BILLION ALTHEA FIVE ON IS WHAT
COUNTIES CAN CHOOSE HOW TO
SUPPORT THE DISTRICT AND THEY
HAVE COMPLETE DISCRETION OVER
THE SIX HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION.
ON PAGE SIX.
I DESCRIBE THE COLLABORATIVE
FOR.
THE CALIFORNIA COLLABORATIVE FOR
EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE.
ON THE COLLABORATIVE IS AN
AGENCY THAT WAS DEVELOPED IN
TWENTY THIRTEEN FOURTEEN THE
ROLE OF THE COLLABORATIVE IS
BROAD BUT THEY'RE GENERALLY IN
PLACE TO ASSIST DISTRICTS.
IN NEED OR AT RISK OF
INTERVENTION. THIS PAGE
DISCUSSES THEIR FUNDING TODAY
WHICH TOTALS THIRTY FOUR MILLION
SINCE TWENTY THIRTEEN FOURTEEN
TO CONDUCT AND THEY'VE DONE A
HOST OF ACTIVITIES TO CONDUCT
STATE WEIGHTTRAINING CREE PILOT
PROGRAMS AND THEY BUILT UP THEIR
OWN STAFF.
SO PAGE SEVEN SHOWS A ONE TIME
FUNDING THAT WAS USED TO FUND
THE NEW ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM I
WON'T GO THROUGH THIS PAGE AND
TO TELL YOU HAVE AS A RESOURCE
FOR YOURSELF.
AND PAGE SEVEN.
DESCRIBE THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL OF WHAT COUNTY OFFICE
OF EDUCATION THE ROLE WILL BE IN
THE STATE ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
NOW THERE'S TWO PROPOSALS
REGARDING THE COUNTY OFFICES OF
EDUCATION.
THE FIRST IS THAT THE COUNTY
OFFICE OF EDUCATION RECEIVE
FIFTY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS JUST
PROVIDE SUPPORT TO IDENTIFY
DISTRICTS THE SUPPORT IS
GENERALLY CONSISTENT TO CURRENT
LAW WHERE THE LANGUAGES AND GIVE
SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS ON WHAT
COUNTIES HAVE TO DO TO SUPPORT
THE SUPPORT CAN INCLUDE.
IDENTIFYING A DISTRICT STRENGTH
AND WEAKNESSES ASSIGNING
ACADEMIC EXPERTS. REQUESTING THE
COLLABORATIVE TO PROVIDE
ASSISTANCE TO DISTRICTS OR
DISTRICTS CAN OPT OUT AND PAY
FOR THEIR OWN SUPPORT USING LC
ABOUT FUNDING.
THE SECOND PROPOSAL ESTABLISHES
A NEW ROLE FOR SELECT COUNTY
OFFICES OF EDUCATION THE
PROPOSAL PROVIDES FOUR MILLION
TO SIX TO TEN COUNTY OFFICES TO
SERVICE REGIONAL LEAVES.
AND THE REGIONALLY WAS SUPPORT
COUNTIES WITHIN A GEOGRAPHIC
AREA IN HELPING THESE COUNTIES
PROVIDE EFFECTIVE SUPPORT TO
DISTRICTS IDENTIFIED UNDER THE
BALLOT EVALUATION RUBRIC. THE
REGIONALLY COULD ALSO PROVIDE
SUPPORT DIRECTLY TO DISTRICTS ON
IF THE COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION WITHIN A DEFINED
GEOGRAPHIC REGION WASN'T ABLE
TO.
SO PAGE EIGHT.
DESCRIBES OUR ASSESSMENT OF
THESE TWO PROPOSALS SO WE'RE
CONCERNED.
THAT THE PROPOSED SYSTEM
DOESN'T PROVIDE LOCAL CONTROL.
WITH THIS SYSTEM.
THE SYSTEM ACTUALLY MINIMIZES
DISTRICT CHOICE UNDER THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL DISTRICTS
MUST RECEIVE SUPPORT FROM THEIR
COUNTY OFFICE UNLESS THEY FIND.
UNLESS THEY PURCHASE
ALTERNATIVE SUPPORT AND FUNDED
THROUGH THEIR LCF OFF.
THE LACK OF RICH OUR CONCERN IS
THE LACK OF COULD CHOICE COULD
REDUCE TIMELINESS AND QUALITY OF
THE SUPPORT THAT A DISTRICT
COULD RECEIVE.
SO ONE EXAMPLE OF HOW WE SING
THIS PLAY OUT IS COUNTY OFFICES
LACK OF HOT CITY AND IT WOULD
JUST TAKE TIME TO BUILD CAPACITY
BUT WHILE THE COUNTY OFFICES
BUILDING THE CAPACITY THE
DISTRICT WOULD ITS RUPEE
RECEIVING THE HIGHEST QUALITY
SUPPORT. AND WITH THIS CONCERN
THE BULK OF THE ACCOUNTABILITY
IS NOT ON COUNTY OFFICES BUT
IT'S ON THE DISTRICT BECAUSE THE
DISTRICT WILL REMAIN IDENTIFIED.
AMEND COULD QUALIFY FOR
INTENSIVE INTERVENTION.
WE DO THINK COUNTY OFFICES ARE
POSITIONED TO PROVIDE SOME
SUPPORT AND THE STATE COULD
LEVERAGE OUR EXPERTISE IN
REVIEWING BUDGETS AND AL COPS.
BUT COUNTY OFFICES ARE WELL
FUNDED TO PROVIDE THE SUPPORT
GIVEN THEY HAVE SIX HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION INDISCRETION ARI
FUNDING.
WITH REGARD TO THE REGIONALLY
PROPOSAL OUR CONCERN ON THE
COUNTY OFFICE REGIONAL NEED IS
THAT IT APPEARS DUPLICATIVE TO
BOTH THE ROLE OF THE
COLLABORATIVE AND THE COUNTY
OFFICES ROLE.
AND IT DUPLICATES ALREADY IT
DUPLICATES ALREADY EXISTING
REGIONALES STRUCTURE.
SO THE COUNTY REGIONALES OUR
INTENT OF THE BILL CAPACITY OF
CO EASE BUT PART OF THE RULES
ALSO TO SUPPORT DISTRICTS AND
IT'S UNCLEAR AT WHAT POINT THE
REGIONAL LEGAL SUPPORT DISTRICTS
AND HOW THE DECISIONS TO SUPPORT
DISTRICTS.
ARE MADE.
SO.
A MOVING ON TO PAGE NINE WHERE
WE. PRESENT OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
SO AS AN ALTERNATIVE TO THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL.
WE'VE WE RECOMMEND THAT COUNTY
OFFICES CONDUCT WHAT WE DESCRIBE
AS ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS WERE
COUNTIES WOULD ASSIST DISTRICTS
REVIEWING DATA IDENTIFY RIPPER
FORMING SO SHOES. OR WHY THEY
WERE IDENTIFIED AND NEEDING
SUPPORT.
BY GIVING COUNTY OFFICES
EXISTING FUNDING WE RECOMMEND
NOT AUGMENTING THEIR FUNDING TO
PERFORM THIS FUNCTION WITH
REGARDS TO THE SECOND PROPOSAL
TO CREATE THE REGIONALES WE
RECOMMEND REJECTING THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL.
AND WHEN YOU OFFER AN
ALTERNATIVE RECOMMENDATION TO
PROVIDE DISTRICTS WITH
ADDITIONAL SUPPORT WHICH WILL
DISCUSS IN THE NEXT AGENDA ITEM
AND THAT CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.
GOOD MORNING JUST GO HOMES
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
THE ADMINISTRATION STRONGLY
SUPPORTS THE STATE'S LC FF
ACCOUNTABILITY AN IMPROVEMENT
SYSTEM. THIS SYSTEM REPLACES THE
STATE'S PREVIOUS TOP DOWN
UNCOORDINATED APPROACH
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT WITH THE
STRUCTURE THAT ENGAGES ALL LOCAL
REGIONAL AND STATE EDUCATIONAL
ENTITIES. AS WELL AS THEIR
STAKEHOLDERS IN AN UNPRECEDENTED
NETWORK OF COLLABORATION
INNOVATION IN INFORMATION
SHARING.
TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC OUTCOMES FOR
ALL STUDENTS AND CREATES A
FOCUSED AROUND CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENT INSTEAD OF STATIC
GOALS.
AS THE EARLIER MENTIONED THE
SYSTEM WAS CREATED BY THE
LEGISLATURE IN THE
ADMINISTRATION IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN. AND WE SEE GREAT
PROMISE IN THE WORK CURRENTLY
BEING DONE BY COMMUNITIES
SCHOOL DISTRICTS COUNTY OFFICES
OF EDUCATION THE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION A CALIFORNIA
COLLABORATIVE FOR EDUCATIONAL
EXCELLENCE. AND ADVOCACY GROUPS
IN ADDRESSING DEEP AND
PERSISTENT OBSTACLES TO STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT.
I'D LIKE TO NOTE OF ON THE
PREVIOUS PANEL A MISTER ANDERSON
FROM THE ALEJO. AND DISCUSSED
SOME DATA THAT SHOW THAT THERE
IS STILL A MUCH WORK TO BE DONE
IN CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT GAPS I
THINK WE WOULD AGREE WITH THAT.
HOWEVER WE WOULD ALSO AND NOTE
THAT EARLY DATA SUGGESTED THAT
THE MOVE TO LOCAL CONTROL HAS
ACTUALLY CONTRIBUTED TO
IMPROVEMENTS STUDENT OUTCOES.
WE WOULD POINT TO GRADUATION
RATES WHICH HAVE INCREASED
INCLUDING AMONG VARIOUS A
STUDENT SUBGROUPS.
EXPANSIONRATES HAVE DECLINED
AND SIGNIFICANTLY MORE
CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO ATTEND UC
AND CSU. AND THAT'S IN THE FACE
OF DECLINING ENROLLMENT SO WHILE
WE DON'T WANT TO MINIMIZE THE
THE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS ARGH THAT
ARE IN EXISTENCE CURRENTLY WE
DOBELIEVE THAT EARLY FINE SHOW
THAT LOCAL CONTROL IS WORKING.
THE ADMINISTRATION IS DEDICATED
TO BUILDING OUT* A SYSTEM OF
SUPPORT TO REFLECT THE EFFORTS
AND THE NEEDS OF OUR EDUCATIONAL
PARTNERS.
TO THIS END OF THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PROVIDES SEVENTY POINT
FIVE MILLION AND ONGOING
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT GENERAL
FUND.
SUPPORT COUNTY OFFICES OF
EDUCATION AND THE CALIFORNIA
COLLABORATIVE FOR EDUCATIONAL
EXCELLENCE.
IN PROVIDING TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE AND SUPPORT TO ALL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ESPECIALLY THOSE IDENTIFIED BY
MULTIPLE MEASURES OF STUDENT
PERFORMANCE AS BEING IN NEED OF
TARGETED ASSISTANCE.
ADDITIONALLY THE ADMINISTRATION
PROPOSES THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
AND ONETIME PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT GENERAL FUND TO ENHANCE
THE USER FRIENDLINESS OF THE K.
TWELVE DASH BOARD OF STUDENT
OUTCOMES.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET ALSO
CODIFIES WORK DONE TO IMPLEMENT
THE STATE SYSTEM OF SUPPORT OVER
THE LAST FIVE YEARS. AND
CLARIFIES THE RULES OF DISTRICTS
COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION THE
COLLABORATIVE AND THE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION WITHIN THE STATE
SYSTEM OF SUPPORT.
BACK IN TWENTY THIRTEEN WE
PROVIDED.
AND IT SORT OF AN OUTLINE OF
WHAT WE WONDER SYSTEM TO SUPPORT
TO LOOK LIKE AND WE SEE THESE
CHANGES AS FURTHER FLESHING OUT
WHAT. ON THIS HOW THE STATE
SYSTEM OF SUPPORT WORKS IN AND
AND WHAT WE INTEND TO SEE THEM
IN ITS OPERATION.
SPECIFICALLY TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE CODIFIES THE STATE'S
KATE WILL DASH BOARD OF STUDENT
DATA.
IDENTIFIES COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION AS THE PRIMARY SUPPORT
PROVIDER FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
REQUIRE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
IDENTIFIED AS BEING IN NEED A
DIFFERENTIATED ASSISTANCE TO
ACCEPT ASSISTANCE TO THE STATE
SYSTEM OF SUPPORT.
CREATIVELY COUNTY OFFICES OF
EDUCATION TO HELP BUILD
STATEWIDE CAPACITY AROUND
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. AND
DESCRIBES THE RESPONSIBILITY OF
THE COLLABORATIVE AND THE
DEPARTMENT TO WORK TO BUILD THIS
CAPACITY AS WELL.
PROVIDE AVENUES FOR COUNTY
OFFICES OF EDUCATION THE
COLLABORATIVE IN THE DEPARTMENT
TO ASSIST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN
NEED OF EXTRAORDINARY SUPPORT.
AND MAKES TECHNICAL AMENDMENTS
TO REMOVE THE OLD ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE INDEX ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM FROM STATE LAW. AS WELL
AS A LINE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION'S EXEMPTION FROM
CERTAIN ASPECTS OF THE
ADMINISTRATIVE PROCEDURES ACT
WITH THE CURRENT PORTS TERM.
WE ALSO HAVE ON.
MANY AS.
DISAGREEMENTS WITH SOME OF THE
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE LA L. I
DON'T WANNA GOING TO ALL THOSE
RIGHT NOW TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU
HAVE SPECIFIC QUESTIONS ON SOME
OF THEM. BE HAPPY TO DESCRIBE
THIS THANK YOU.
GOOD MORNING DAVID SAT STATE
BOARD EDUCATION I'D LIKE TO
TOUCH ON THREE POINTS.
FIRST ECHOING SOMETHING MR FINE
SAID EARLIER THE STATE BOARD HAS
ALSO HEARD CONSISTENTLY FROM
LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES AND
STAKEHOLDERS ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING WHAT TO
EXPECT OVER TIME.
A I AGREE WITH THE STAFF
ANALYSIS IN THIS HOMES THAT THE
GOVERNORS BUDGET REFLECTS THE
WORKED THE STATE BOARD HAS BEEN
DOING TO IMPLEMENT LCF OFF.
BUT WE'VE HAD BEEN RELIANT TO
SOME EXTENT ON RELATIONSHIPS AND
SHARED PRACTICES IN COMMON
EXPECTATIONS THAT HAVE
DEVELOPED.
AS AGENCIES AND STAKEHOLDERS
HAVE WORKED TOGETHER OVER THE
LAST SEVERAL YEARS TO IMPLEMENT
LCF OFF.
THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROVIDES
IMPORTANT CLARITY ABOUT ROLES
RESPONSIBILITIES AND
EXPECTATIONS THAT WILL ENSURE
CONTINUITY FOR EDUCATORS AND
STAKEHOLDERS. AS WE MOVE FORWARD
TO IMPLEMENTING APPROACH TO
SCHOOL IMPROVEMENT THAT IS VERY
DIFFERENT FROM WHAT WE'VE DONE
THE PAST.
THAT LEADS TO MY SECOND POINT
WHICH IS THE REASONS WHY WE WANT
CONTINUITY Y. WHICH SUPPORT
CONTINUITY.
A STAFF ANALYSIS NOTED US SOME
DETAILS ABOUT OUR PAST
IMPROVEMENT EFFORTS
ONE COMMON FEATURE OF THIS
EFFORTS IS THAT THEY WERE
GENERALLY COMMANDING CONTROL
APPROACHES THAT RELIED HEAVILY
ON A MIX OF SANCTIONS AND
PUNISHMENT. IN TIME LIMITED
FUNDING TO SUPPORT IMPROVEMENT.
RESEARCH AND EVALUATIONS OF
THOSE PROGRAMS REACHED PRINT
PRETTY CONSISTENT CONCLUSIONS
ABOUT TEM THERE WAS NO
STATISTICAL THROUGH
STATISTICALLY SIGNIFICANT
EVIDENCE OF SUSTAINED
IMPROVEMENT.
AT THE SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS
THAT RECEIVE THOSE INTERVENTIONS
AND SUPPORTS.
I'M HAPPY TO GO INTO MORE ABOUT
THE DETAILS OF THE WHYS BEHIND
IT.
BUT THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE
DISPARITIES IN PERFORMANCE GAPS
THAT WERE ALL CORRECTLY FOCUSED
ON RIGHT NOW.
PERSISTED IN IN SOME CASES GREW
WHILE THOSE PROGRAMS WERE IN
PLACE.
AS THE STAFF ANALYSIS ALSO NOTED
THE PRIORS SUPPORT SYSTEMS TIED
TO ACCOUNTABILITY WERE
DISJOINTED AS JUST ONE EXAMPLE
WE CREATED A REGIONAL SYSTEM FOR
FEDERAL TIED A WHEN PROGRAM
WHICH FOCUSES ON LOW INCOME
STUDENTS.
AND WE CREATED A SEPARATE
REGIONAL STRUCTURE FOR TIGHT
FEDERAL TITLE THREE WHICH
FOCUSES ON ENGLISH LEARNERS.
THIS TO REGIONAL STRUCTURES WERE
OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY.
ADDITIONALLY MANY STE OUR
INVESTMENTS OF STATE FUNDS OF
THE LEGISLATURE ADMINISTRATION
HAVE MADE GO OUT THROUGH REAP A
REGIONAL BASIS TO SUPPORT
IMPLEMENTATION. AGAIN THERE'S
HAVE GENERALLY BEEN DIVORCED
FROM THE EXISTING ONGOING
REGIONAL STRUCTURES.
AND WHY DOES THIS MATTER.
IT MATTERS BECAUSE A CHILD MAY
BE AN ENGLISH LEARNER A FOSTER
YOUTH AND A LOW INCOME STUDENT.
BUT SHE'S NOT A COMBINATION OF
THOSE LABELS
SHE IS A STUDENT WHO HAS
SPECIFIC NEEDS.
YET ARE APPROACH TO HELPING
DISTRICTS BETTER SUPPORT THEIR
STUDENTS WAS BUILT ON LABELS AND
CATEGORIES OF PROGRAMS.
THE BURDEN WAS ON DISTRICTS AND
SCHOOLS TO NAVIGATE THIS
DISPARATE SYSTEMS AND
RATIONALIZE THE SUPPORTS THAT
WERE AVAILABLE DESIGN PROGRAMS
TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR
STUDENTS.
OUR CURRENT APPROACHES INFORMED
BY THIS PAST EXPERIENCES
IN CONTRAST THERE'S PASSED
APPROACHES OUR CURRENT SYSTEM
INSISTS THAT LOCAL DECISION
MAKERS OWNED THE CHALLENGES AND
TOGETHER WITH THEIR
STAKEHOLDERS.
IDENTIFY THE UNDERLYING CAUSES
FOR LIVE PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOP
SOLUTIONS THAT THEY'RE
RESPONSIBLE FOR IMPLEMENTING
WITHIN THE EL CAP PROCESS.
ASSISTANCE IS AVAILABLE FROM THE
STATE THROUGH COORDINATED
APPROACH AS OPPOSED TO THIS JUST
DISJOINTED EFFORTS I DESCRIBED A
MOMENT AGO.
WHICH BRINGS ME TO MY THIRD
POINT.
THE FOCUS ON WHAT LIES AHEAD
SOMETIMES IT SCARES THAT THIS
WORK IS ALREADY UNDERWAY.
WE ALREADY ARE WORKING.
THAT THROUGH OUR SYSTEM OF
SUPPORT
COUNTY OFFICE AND DISTRICTS ARE
WORKING TOGETHER NOW.
I LIKE TO DESCRIBE THAT WORK
THROUGH AN EXAMPLE
THIS IS ACTUALLY THE EXAMPLE
FROM ONE OF THE.
NETWORKS THAT THE CALIFORNIA
CLAPPER FOR EDUCATIONAL
EXCELLENCE IS SUPPORTING THAT
YOU'LL HEAR ABOUT THE NEXT PANEL
BUT THE APPROACH IN THOSE
NETWORKS IS IS VERY SIMILAR TO
THE APPROACH THE COUNTIES ARE
USING TO WORK WITH DISTRICT.
IN THIS EXAMPLE DISTRICT STAFF
AND SPENT SOME TIME LOOKING AT
SOME REALLY TROUBLING SUSPENSION
DATA AND LOOKING AT THE
UNDERLYING CAUSES FOR WHAT WAS
GOING ON.
THE START OF THE SESSION REALLY
PULLED UP WHAT THEY CONCLUDED
BEFORE AND THE FOCUS A BIT ON
THINGS THAT WERE OUTSIDE THE
CONTROL OF THE DISTRICT.
GENERATIONAL POVERTY LINDY
PARENTAL ENGAGEMENT ISSUES WITH
LANGUAGE BARRIERS.
THE NEXT SESSION BEGAN WITH THE
COUNTY STAFF YOUR FACILITATING.
ASKING THE PARTICIPANTS TO
REFLECT ON THEIR PRIOR
CONCLUSIONS
IN FOCUS ON WHAT THEY ACTUALLY
HAD WITHIN THEIR CONTROL WHAT
COULD DISTRICTS CONTROL AS FAR
AS RESPONDING TO THE UNDERLYING
CAUSES.
THIS PROMPTED A RECOGNITION THAT
THE ISSUES THAT THE DISTRICT
STAFF AND FOCUSING ON WHERE
EXTERNAL AND OUTSIDE THEIR
CONTROL AND SO THEY RE ENGAGE
WITH THE NEW DISCUSSION FOCUSED
ON WHAT THEY COULD DO
DIFFERENTLY.
WHICH LED THEM TO LOOK IT THEIR
EXISTING DISCIPLINE PRACTICES AS
WELL SCHOOL CULTURE AND SOME OF
THE SCHOOLS THAT HAVE VERY HIGH
RATES.
CITY SHIFTED FROM AN EXTERNAL TO
AN INTERNAL FOCUS AND FOUND A
WAY TO THINK ABOUT THEIR DATA
THAT OPEN DOORS FOR FUTURE
CONVERSATIONS WITH STAKEHOLDERS
ABOUT HOW TO MOVE FORWARD.
THAT'S A VERY DIFFERENCE A
CONVERSATION THE WHAT WOULD
OCCUR IF SOMEONE SHOWS UP WITH A
CLIPBOARD IN A CHECKLIST OR
PRESCRIBE PROGRAM IN RESPONSE TO
A PROBLEM.
SIMILAR CONVERSATIONS WHICH
TOUCH ON CULTURE.
AND.
AND MINDSET ARE HAPPENING IN
SCHOOL COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE
STATE UNDER OUR SYSTEM OF
SUPPORT. AND THEY'RE LAYING THE
FOUNDATION FOR THE HARD WORK
THAT IS NECESSARY TO DESIGN AND
IMPLEMENT EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
BASED ON STUDENT NEED MONITOR
THEIR FACT IN THIS AND MAKE
ADJUSTMENTS AS NECESSARY LOOKING
AT THE MULTIPLE MEASURES OF
STUDENT SUCCESS THAT ARE PART OF
EL CFF.
I LOOK FOR TO ADDRESS ANY
QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE THANK
YOU.
AFTERNOON DEBORAH BROWN OF THE
HAVE A STATE SUPER
TEN IN THE PUBLIC.
TARA LOOKS AND I'M GONNA TOUCH
ON OTHER THREE POINTS AT A
LITTLE BIT OF WHAT'S
ALREADY BEEN TALKED ABOUT SO
GIVE A LITTLE BIT OF A
PERSPECTIVE ON THE STATEWIDE
SYSTEM.
SUPPORT GIVE AN UPDATE ON WHERE
RAT ON THE DASHBOARD IN NAMELY
SOME OF THE FEEDBACK WE'VE
GOTTEN SOME OF THE IMPROVEMENTS
WE'VE MADE AND THEN CLOSING OUT
SORT OF PUT THAT LAST PIECE OF
THE PUZZLE TOGETHER AND GIVE YOU
AN UPDATE ON. WHERE WE ARE AT
WITH THE I'M A DEVELOPMENT AND
HOPEFULLY AS SOON TO BE APPROVAL
OF THE S. THE STATE PLAN WITH
THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION?
SO I WOULD SAY AYE ON BEHALF OF
THE SUPERINTENDENT WHAT WERE
VERY PLEASED TO BE PARTNERING
WITH THE OTHER STATE AGENCIES ON
THE WORK AROUND BUILDING.
CAPACITY IN SUPPORTING COUNTIES
AND DISTRICTS THAT THEY CAN
IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR THEIR
STUDENTS THE GOAL FOR THE
SUPPORT AT ALL LEVELS IS TO ITS
IT TO ASSIST ELEAZAR THEIR
SCHOOLS. TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
THE IF EACH STUDENT SERVED WITH
A FOCUS ON BUILDING CAPACITY TO
SUSTAIN IMPROVEMENT AND
EFFECTIVELY ADDRESS INEQUITIES
IN STUDENT OPPORTUNITIES AND
OUTCOMES.
IN ORDER TO TO COORDINATE
SUPPORTED ALL LEVELS THE
AGENCIES ARE CHARGED WITH
PROVIDING SUPPORT UNDER THE LCF
F.. X. M. EXPANDED THEIR INITIAL
CROSS AGENCY GROUP TO INCLUDE
STAKEHOLDER PERSPECTIVES
PERSPECTIVES AND PRACTITIONERS
FROM THE FIELD. THE LARGER TEAM
IS THE STATE IS A SYSTEM OF
SUPPORT PLANNING GROUP AND IT IS
INTENDED TO ADDRESS COMMON
CONCERNS AND INTERESTS FROM THE
FIELD REGARDING SUPPORT FOR AL
LIAISON SO THIS INCLUDES THAT.
OUT REACHED OUT LIAISE I'M
REVIEWING DATE AND ASSESSING
STRENGTHS AND UNDER LASING
CAUSES.
FIRST YOU NOW COMES IN
SUPPORTING ELEAZAR TO IMPROVE
STUDENT OUTCOMES.
WELL SORT TO SUPPORT PROVIDERS
WORKING ALONGSIDE A LIAISON
THEIR SCHOOLS TO IDENTIFY THOSE
EY CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITIES.
WITH THE DECEMBER RELEASE OF THE
DASHBOARD COUNTY OFFICES OF
EDUCATION HAVE BEGUN THAT WORK
WITHOUT LIAISED THROUGH THAT
THROUGH THOSE AT AT AT DISTRICTS
THAT ARE ELIGIBLE ELIGIBLE FOR
DIFFERENTIATED ASSISTANCE. AND
THERE AT THAT WORK ALIGNS WITH
THE LC FF STATUTE
THIS CONTACT OCCURRED BEFORE THE
PUBLIC RELEASE OF THE DASHBOARD
TO ENSURE THAT THE ALLEYS HAD
TIME TO CONNECT WITH THEIR.
COUNTY SUPPORT AND STAKEHOLDERS
AS NECESSARY AND WE CONTINUE TO
WORK AT AT TO HELP SUPPORT THIS
DATA ANALYSIS AND UNDERLYING AND
YOU'RE TRYING TO ADDRESS THE
UNDERLYING CAUSES. A WHICH WILL
HELP INFORM EACH ELEAZAR EL CAP
AND ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT AT
THE DEPARTMENT WERE ALSO VESTED
IN THIS POSTED THE IN THIS
APPROACH OF WELL AND WE'VE. HAD
GONE TO AN ORGANIZATIONAL SHIFT
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING AT HOW DO WE
ENGAGE IN A COLLABORATIVE ACT
EFFORT WHERE OUR WORK IS BETTER
ALIGNED OUR WORK INTERNALLY AT
THE DEPARTMENT IS BETTER I LIKE
TO THE WORK OF THE M.. OF AT
DISTRICTS IN AND COUNTIES
AND SO WE DO HAVE A STATEWIDE
SYSTEM OF SUPPORT TEAM THAT IS
ACROSS DIVISION EFFORT THAT IS
LINKING STAFF FOR PROVIDING
SUPPORT FOR DISTRICTS WITH STAFF
WHO ARE STANDARDS AND CONTENT
EXPERTS. WITH STAFF WHO
IMPROVING EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS
AND THOSE THAT ALSO FOCUSED ON
STUDENTS PORTS AND AGAIN WE'RE
TRYING TO GET MAKE OUR WORK AND
OUR EFFORTS ALIGNED WITH WHAT WE
ARE AND ASKING OF OUR DISTRICTS
AND COUNTIES.
AT SWITCHING TO THAT THAT
DASHBOARD AS AS WE'VE TALKED
ABOUT THE DATA THAT DASHBOARD
HAS BEEN AN INTENSIVE EFFORT
THAT'S BEEN UNDER WAY SINCE THE
BOARD ADOPTED THE INITIAL PHASE
OF THE EVALUATION REPORTS BACK
IN SEPTEMBER TWENTY SIXTEEN. AND
I'D SAY WE CONTINUE TO
INCORPORATE THE FEEDBACK FROM
STAKEHOLDER INPUT SESSIONS AND
WORK GROUPS TO INFORM THE STATE
AND LOCAL INDICATORS. AND IN THE
FALL BUT THE DASHBOARD WAS
RELEASED IN INCLUDED SEVERAL NEW
FEATURES THAT WHERE I AM
ADDRESSED HIS CONCERNS ARE AREAS
FOR IMPROVEMENT FROM THE SPRING
CIRCUS AND. THAT PILOT RELEASE
OF THAT UNTIL IN DIRECT RESPONSE
FROM. A USER RECOMMENDATIONS WE
DID OUT.
UP BROAD RANGE OF ONLINE AND IN
PERSON THAT REACH ACTIVITIES TO
HOLD A TO HELP TO SUPPORT THE
DASHBOARD RELEASES INCLUDE NEW
DETAILED REPORTS THAT WE CAN I
AM I SHOULD REPORTON THREE
PRIORITY AREAS.
STUDENT GROUP DATA REPORTS FOR
THE ACADEMIC INDICATOR LISTING
ON THAT DISTRICT ELK ON THE
DISTRICT ASH BOARD LISTING ALL
OF THE SCHOOLS IN THE DISTRICT
THAT MAKE IT EASIER TO NAVIGATE.
I'M WHICH SCHOOLS ARE WITHIN A
DISTRICT UPDATING A VIDEO
TUTORIAL AND THEN ALSO MAKING
IT.
AT PROVIDING PDF PDF CAPABILITY
SO THAT'S EASY TO SHARE WITH
OTHERS.
I'M WE DO THINK THAT WE HAVE THE
RIGHT AMOUNT THE RIGHT DATA BUT
WE'RE CONTINUING TO WORK TO
IMPROVE THE ACCESSIBILITY AND
FUNCTIONALITY OF THE DASHBOARD.
SO EFFORTS THAT ARE UNDERWAY
THINKS TO THE LEGISLATURE WERE
IMPROVING THAT DASHBOARD
HOMEPAGE WITH A THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS THAT WAS
PROVIDED IN THE SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN.
EXCUSE ME EIGHTEEN NOT SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN BUDGET.
AND WE'RE WORKING WITH SAN
JOAQUIN COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION ON THAT EFFORT ROSSA
MAKING FURTHER REVISIONS TO THE
DASHBOARD DASHBOARD REPORTS
ACCUSE ME DISPLAYING THE REPORTS
WITHIN THE DASHBOARD. TO MAKE
THEM LESS TEXT HEAVY IN MORE
INTUITIVE FOR ALL USERS AND ALSO
WORKING ON SPANISH TRANSLATIONS
TO MAKE THAT MORE ACCESSIBLE.
I'M.
I THINK WE OWE ULTIMATELY WE DO
IF WE REALLY DO FEEL LIKE I
MENTIONED EARLIER WITHOUT CFF WE
THINK THAT THAT THE INFORMATION
ON THE DASHBOARD IS THE RIGHT
AMOUNT OF INFORMATION IS THE
RIGHT INFORMATION WE JUST NEED
TO. WORK TO MAKE SURE THAT IT IS
ACCESSIBLE AND AND LOOKING AT A
RECENT SURVEY. I'M THAT FOUND
THAT SIXTY ONE PERCENT AGREED
THAT THE INFORMATION ON THE
DASHBOARD IS AN EFFECTIVE WAY TO
COMMUNICATE OUTCOME SO AND
ANOTHER CASE TO CONTINUE THE
PATH THAT WORK ON.
AND THEN THE THIRD THING WAS
AGAIN DISCLOSING THIS THAT LOOP
AROUND THE AND AS A STATE
PLANNED SO. I AM AS WE'VE
DISCUSSED WHEN ESTA WAS APPROVED
BY CONGRESS AND AND THE
PRESIDENT BACK IN DECEMBER TWO
THOUSAND FIFTEEN WE WERE ALL
ALREADY WELL UNDER WAY WITH THE
REFORMS. NOT ONLY WHAT WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT HERE BUT ALSO WITH.
UP AND NEW STANDARDS NEW
FRAMEWORKS AND NEW ASSESSMENTS
AND AND IN MANY WAYS THE
PRINCIPLES OF S. A COMPLIMENT AT
THE STATE'S EFFORTS TO INCREASE
OUR RESOURCES AND ATTENTION ON
CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT FOR ALL.
GROUPS AND WE'RE WORKING TO
ENSURE THAT OUR AS A PLAN
SIMULTANEOUSLY MEETS FEDERAL
REQUIREMENTS WHILE RECOGNIZING
THE GOALS I HAVE AND FULL
IMPLEMENTATION OF LCF LAUGHS AT
THE STATE BOARD ADOPTED SOME
PRINCIPLES. THAT HAVE GUIDED THE
WORK AND THESE INCLUDE MAKING
SURE THAT IT EMPOWERS LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO MAKE LOCAL
DECISIONS TO ADDRESS LOCAL
NEEDS.
AND ALSO CREATING A A SINGLE
COHERENT SYSTEM THAT AVOIDS THE
COMPLEXITIES OF HAVING A STATE
AND FEDERAL SYSTEM.
SO AFTER A COUPLE OF YEARS OF
SOME PRETTY INTENSIVE OF A WORK
AND OVER A DOZEN STATE MORE
MEETINGS AND COUNTLESS
STAKEHOLDER AYE INPUT SESSIONS
IN SEPTEMBER TWO TWO THOUSAND
SEVENTEEN THE STATE BOARD
ADOPTED.
AN ESTATE PLAN AND THAT WAS
SUBMITTED TO THE US DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION. NOVEMBER TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN THEY WERE
PEER REVIEWS CONDUCTED ON THE
TITLE ONE TITLE THREE AND WE CAN
EVEN VENTO SECTIONS.
FINALLY IN LATE DECEMBER WE
RECEIVED OUR OFFICIAL FEEDBACK
FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION OUTLINING SOME OF
THEIR CONCERNS. AND IN JANUARY
THAT THOSE COULD SOME OF THOSE
AYE THOSE CONCERNS WERE
ADDRESSED REVISED STATE PLAN
THAT THE BOARD. ADOPTED IN THAT
PLAN WAS ALSO SUBMITTED AT TO
THE US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
HOWEVER THAT DID NOT SATISFY ALL
OF THEIR CONCERNS AND IN LATE
FEBRUARY CD AND STATE FOR
STAFF. MET WITH THE EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT AND IN WASHINGTON DC
TO TO DISCUSS OUTSTANDING AREAS
A FEEDBACK AND WE'VE BEEN
ENGAGED IN ONGOING DIE DIALOGUE
TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN COME TO
TERMS ON A LANGUAGE. THAT WOULD
MEET BOTH AND THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION'S INTERPRETATION OF
STATUTE AND ALIGN WITH THE PATH
CALIFORNIA HAS RELATED TO LOCAL
CONTROL AND CONTINUOUS
IMPROVEMENT. AND BASED ON THESE
CONVERSATIONS THE CD HAS
PROPOSED TO THE STATE BOARD
THAT.
A CHANGES THAT WE BELIEVE WILL
MAKE THE PLAN APPROVAL. AND IN
UP JUST LAST WEEK THE STATE
BOARD APPROVED CHANGES TO.
SOME AREAS INCLUDING ME CAN
EVEN TELL ENTRANCE AND EXIT
PROCEDURES FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS
AND DISPROPORTIONATE ACCESS TO
EDUCATORS.
BECAUSE THE DIALOGUE WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION WAS I'M
I'M GOING.
THERE WERE A COUPLE AREAS THAT
WE HELD OVER AND THAT WILL BE
I'M ADDRESSED AT A SPECIAL
MEETING TO ENSURE THAT
STAKEHOLDERS HAVE TIME. TO
ENGAGE IN THOSE AND SO THOSE ARE
AND AREAS AROUND THE
IDENTIFICATION OF SCHOOLS AND
WEIGHING OF INDICATORS AND WE
EXPECT THE STATE BOARD TO
ANNOUNCE SOMETIME THIS WEEK A
AND SPECIAL MEETING TO MAKE
THOSE CHANGES. SO THAT WE CAN
GIVE NOT ONLY THE BOARD MEMBERS
BUT ALSO STAKEHOLDERS TIME TO TO
REVIEW WHAT THOSE PROPOSED
CHANGES ARE. AND WE'RE HOPEFUL
THAT AFTER THAT AFTER THOSE
REVISIONS WILL BE APPROVED THAT
WE CAN SUBMIT THE PLAN AND NEXT
MONTH TO DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION.
AND THAT THAT WILL.
AT BE APPROVED AND SO WILL
CONTINUE TO PROVIDE THE
LEGISLATURE WITH.
UPDATES ON WHERE WE'RE AT WITH
THE DEVELOPMENT AND ADOPTION OF
THE PLAN INCLUDING AT A HEARING
IN ABOUT A WEEK AND A HALF FOR
NOT QUITE TWO WEEKS. ON APRIL
FOURTH WHERE THEY'LL BE A JOINT
ON EDUCATION COMMITTEE HEARING
WILL PROVIDE A FURTHER UPDATE AT
THAT TIME.
MISSED ROC.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR IN OUR.
STEPPED.
REPORT.
ON PAGE THIRTEEN.
THE SECOND PARAGRAPH STATES.
IN TWENTY THIRTEEN THE STATE
BEGAN TO TRANSITION TO NEW
ASSESSMENTS.
ALIGN TO NEW STATEWIDE ACADEMIC
CONTENT STANDARDS.
MOST STUDENT ASSESSMENT SCORES
WERE NOT AVAILABLE PROCESS MEANS
GIVEN IN THE SPRING.
TWENTY FOURTEEN. SINCE THE STATE
WAS PILOTING A NEW ASSESSMENT
SYSTEM IN ADDITION THE STATE WAS
MOVING AWAY FROM USING TEST
SCORES. AS THE MAIN DETERMINANT
OF LED A SUCCESS ACCORDINGLY
BASED ON STATUTORY AUTHORITY.
THE STATE BOARD BACK EDUCATION
APPROVED A RECOMMENDATION BY THE
SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION.
AND THE LEGISLATURE AND GOVERNOR
AGREED TO NOT CALCULATE THE. API
FOR THE TWENTY THIRTEEN FOURTEEN
TWENTY FOURTEEN FIFTEEN FIFTEEN
SIXTEEN AND SIXTEEN SEVENTEEN
FISCAL YEARS. SO WE'RE NOT USING
TEST SCORES WERE OR READ OR
LOWERING THEM AS A PRIORITY UP.
GIVES HIM TO CLARIFY.
SET THE SENATE MORE LIKE THAT
THANKS FOR THE QUESTION TEST
SCORES REMAIN A VERY IMPORTANT
MEASURE OF THAT WE'RE USING IN
OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM IT IT
AND AS POLLS THE PAST THOSE NO
LONGER THE ONLY MEASURE THAT
WE'RE LOOKING AT.
I'M SO IT'S IT'S WE STILL ARE
INCLUDING ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS
AND MATHEMATICS RESULTS AS SOME
OF THE. I BELIEVE OUR STATE
INDICATORS WHICH WAS DESCRIBED
IN A REPORT ON THE DASHBOARD BUT
WERE ALSO REPORTING INFORMATION
FOR SOMEONE GRADUATION RATE.
ENGLISH UNDER PROGRESS IN
SUSPENSION RATE IN ADDITION.
WE'RE STILL DOING THE TESTING.
YES WORK WHERE DEFTLY DOING THE
TESTING AND WERE REPORTING THAT
RESULTS AS A KEY COMPONENT OF
OUR ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM FOR
DISTRICTS AND SCHOOLS YOU SO.
I GUESS I'M GETTING HUNG UP ON
THE TERM TO NOT CALCULATE TO PP
I PICTURED DOING IT JUST NINETY
NOT CALCULATE.
HE.
SO THE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
INDEX WITCHES THE API THAT
YOU'RE REFERRING TO. AND WHEN WE
ADOPTED THE NEW LCF OF
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM. AND WE
SHIFTED AWAY FROM THE API WHICH
ONLY TOOK INTO ACCOUNT TEST
SCORES.
AND GENERATED A NUMBER BASED ON
THAT IN ACTUALLY IN LAW IT WAS
SUPPOSED TO INCLUDE OTHER THINGS
BUT IT REALLY NEVER GOT TO THAT
POINT IS MOSTLY JUST A SCORES.
I'M AND SO NOW WE'RE USING THE
DASHBOARD INSTEAD OF THE API TO
THE REASON WHY WE STOPPED
CALCULATING THE API IS BECAUSE
WE RICH SHIFTING TO THIS NEW
SYSTEM THE DASHBOARD. THAT
ALLOWS FOLKS TO LOOK AT THINGS
LOOK AT THINGS OTHER THAN JUST
THE TEST SCORES ON IN A
DIFFERENT WAY.
THE HOUSE AND WORKING POOR.
WELL AS AND. DEBORAH MENTIONED
I'M SORRY MISS BROWN MENTIONED
EARLIER.
MANY FOLKS ARE FINDING THAT
IT'S AT AND AN EXCELLENT WAY TO
AND.
COMMUNICATE STUDENT OUTCOMES A
BROAD RANGE OF STATE NOT COMES
ON WITHIN THEIR COMMUNITIES.
I THINK WE'VE SEEN SOME SURVEYS
THAT SAY THAT ON PARENT GROUPS
MIND THE THE DASHBOARD. EASY TO
USE ON IT'S JUST A DIFFERENT WAY
OF LOOKING AT THINGS WE WANTED
TO SHOW ON THINGS TO A DISPLAY
THINGS LIKE US SCHOOL CLIMATE.
AND THAT. YOU KNOW THINGS OTHER
THAN JUST THE FOOD THE POINT
TEST SCORES SO IT IS A DIFFERENT
WAY OF LOOKING AT THINGS.
THEN ON PAGE THREE OF THE AUDIO
REPORT.
.
CORD HAS.
YOU REFERRED TO THE SPECIAL
EDUCATION.
.
MOST COMMONLY DISTRICTS WERE
IDENTIFIED BECAUSE THEIR SPECIAL
EDUCATION STUDENTS HAD LOW TEST
SCORES AND HIGH SUSPENSION
RATES.
COULD YOU ELABORATE R. WERE.
IT IS IS SUSPENSION.
PUNISHMENT FOR CERTAIN
BEHAVIORS.
AND.
IF IF SO ARE YOU DO WE HAVE
ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES.
AND SO THIS WAS JUST THE RESULT
OF THE DASHBOARD.
THOSE ARE JUST THE RESULT OF THE
DESPERATE SO WE DON'T HAVE.
UNDERLYING DETAIL ON LIKE WHAT
WE'RE SIR AND WHAT THE CERTAIN
BEHAVIORS OR WHAT THE TESTS.
THE TEST SCORES WERE AND WHAT.
MODIFICATIONS ACCOMMODATIONS
WERE MADE FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION
STUDENTS ARE RESULTED INTO THIS
PLACE BUT THIS IS JUST ON AND
THIS IS WHAT SCHOOLS ARE
BEING IDENTIFIED FOR MOST
COMMONLY. FOR DISTRICTS RIGHT
WHETHER RUBY CABBAGE AND SEE IF
MAYBE SOMETHING DIFFERENT NEEDS
TO BE DONE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
SINCE YOU MENTIONED THE
DASHBOARD AND THE SPECIAL ED
DOOR STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
ALLOT OF ELEAZAR IDENTIFIED.
THAT IS A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM.
WHY WAIT TO ADDRESS IT OR COME
UP?
COULD FOR FUTURE BUDGETS WHY
NOT.
TRY TO USE SOME OF THAT
INFORMATION NOW.
TO DEAL WITH STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES AND SPECIAL THAT I
MEAN.
COME UP WITH A GAME PLAN SOONER
RATHER THEN LATER SO I I DON'T
WANNA AND GIVEAWAYS OUR OUR.
FIFTH PANELS.
GLORY HERE BUT I WE DO HAVE
SOME REGULATIONS THE OTHER
GLORIA AYE WELL. I WE DO HAVE
SOME RECOMMENDATIONS IN TRAILER
BILL LANGUAGE THAT SEEKS TO
ALIGN THE WORK OF SELFLESS MORE
CLOSELY WITH THE STATE SYSTEM OF
SUPPORT I THINK THE KEY FOR US
HERE IS WE'RE NOT WAITING.
WE ARE INTERESTED IN ENSURING
THAT WHEN BECOMING OFFICES OF
EDUCATION ARE HELPING SCHOOL
DISTRICTS DO THE WORK THAT NEEDS
TO BE DONE AROUND DIFFERENTIATED
ASSISTANCE. THEY'RE DOING SO AS
A TEAM WITH THEIR LOCAL SUPPER
PROVIDERS ON WITH THEIR
COMMUNITIES ON WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND WITH
COLLABORATIVE THAT THE ALL THESE
PLAYERS ARE WORKING TOGETHER. SO
I PUSHED BACK A LITTLE BIT ON
THE IDEA THAT WERE WERE WAITING
WE'RE NOT WAITING WHEAT WE SEE
THIS AS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS
TO COLLABORATE EVEN MORE. AND I
THINK THE OTHER THING THAT WE
THINK IS IMPORTANT IS THAT
SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS ON
WOULD RETREAT SPECIAL EDUCATION
IN THE WORKERS SUCH LIKE
EDUCATION STUDENTS. JUST AS AS
IMPORTANT AS THE WORK THAT WE'RE
DOING GENERAL EDUCATION STUDENTS
BECAUSE MOST NATIONAL EDUCATION
STUDENTS DON'T CHECK OFF JUST
ONE BOX IN OUR SUBGROUPS THERE
ALSO RIGHT IN THAT GENERAL
POPULATION OBVIOUSLY. SO SO WE
SEE THEM AS AS REALLY
INTEGRATED.
OBVIOUSLY FOR ME.
.
FOSTER YOUTH AS WELL.
AS A
POURTANT.
COHORT OF STUDENTS
THAT OFTENTIMES HAVE OTHER.
AS WELL THEY'RE NOT JUST ONE
BOX.
SO TO MORE THE MORE WE CAN DRILL
DOWN AND HELP.
PUTTING PLANS IN PLACE TO HELP
THEM.
THE BETTER.
SEE ANYONE ELSE
ISSUE MEANWHILE I.
I'M A LUCKY GUY SAY THAT I WE'RE
GONNA MOVE ON TO THE NEXT PANEL
THANK YOU. AND I BELIEVE YOU BY
THE WAY
.
VERY MATURE DE GOOD MORNING.
.
CHAIR SENATOR MORLOCK THANK YOU
FOR HAVING ME.
JUST QUICKLY INTRODUCE MYSELF
JOSH DANIELS DIRECTOR OF
TRAINING NOT REACH FOR THE
CALIFORNIA COLLABORATIVE FOR
EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE AND ALL.
CAN I WRITE MY* INTRODUCER
SO.
AFTERNOON CD SHOWN AND.
IN CLASS.
AND WE'RE GONNA DO A LITTLE BACK
AND FORTH TO HOPEFULLY THAT
WILL.
LIFE TO. ENJOY THE POTENTIAL
THAT MORE.
AND THE BEFORE I BEGIN I JUST
WOULD LIKE TO.
NOTE THE PASSING OF RON BENNETT.
AND HE WORKED FOR SCHOOL
SERVICES FOR MANY YEARS.
AND ON BEHALF OF THE CC
HOW MY BOSS DR COHN WHO WORKED
WITH MISTER BENNETT AND LONG
BEACH MYSELF IN THE HOLE CCD
E. AGENCY.
ONE EXTENT OF CONDOLENCES TO HIS
FAMILY I'M INTO SCHOOL SERVICES.
SO WE WERE HERE LAST YEAR OUT AT
THAT TIME OUR TESTIMONY FOCUSED
ON A BRIEF OVERVIEW OF
ACTIVITIES.
IN WHICH WE WERE ENGAGED.
AT THAT TIME EVERYTHING WE WERE
DOING WAS NEW.
NOW THAT WE CAN WORK WITH
ELEAZAR FOR OVER A YEAR. WOULD
LIKE TO FOCUS OUR TESTIMONY ON
THE WAYS IN WHICH WERE HAVING AN
IMPACT ON ELEAZAR BOTH
INDIVIDUALLY. AND STATEWIDE TO
INTO THAT IN TWO WAYS WHEN I
TALK ABOUT TO SORT OF MACRO
THEMES OF OUR WORK.
AND THEN GIVE EXAMPLES OF HOW
THAT HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF ON A
DAY TO DAY BASIS.
SO THE FIRST THEME IS OUR
STATUTORY DUTY TO PROVIDE ADVICE
AND ASSISTANCE TO ELEAZAR.
AND THAT'S IN FIVE TWO OH SEVEN
FOR.
AND THIS CAN BE DONE AYE MANY
WAYS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING
THAT WE'VE BEEN WORKING ON.
THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR ELOISE TO
COLLABORATE AND INNOVATE IN A
STRUCTURED AND FACILITATED
ENVIRONMENT.
SO THIS IS IMPORTANT.
AND THIS IS EXCITING FOR A
NUMBER OF REASONS ONE IT ALLOWS
US TO UNDERSTAND WHAT IS WORKING
WHERE THEY'RE BRIGHT SPOTS.
I WHERE OTHER THINGS YOU WANT TO
HOLD UP AS EXAMPLES OF SUCCESS.
IT ALSO ALLOWS US TO DECIDE LOW
OF THE EDUCATION SYSTEM AND TO
SHARE LEARNING.
CROSS ELEAZAR.
AND LASTLY ALLOWS US TO EVALUATE
AND WE LOOK AT OUR HOW
INDIVIDUAL EL YEARS ARE DOING.
SO FOR THE FIRST EXAMPLE OF
ESTIMATES TURN OVER TO MISSION
AND THEN.
I'LL TALK ABOUT IT.
DANIEL SAID I THINK AS WE ENTER
OUR THIRD YEAR.
I'M ONE OF THE CLEAR MEGYN
LESSONS LEARNED FROM OUR WORK IN
ENGAGING WITH OUR PALATE
PARTNERSHIPS ARE PROFESSIONAL
LEARNING NETWORKS.
I AM AS WELL AS OUR GENERAL
ENGAGING WITH THE FIELD IS THAT
WHILE LCF HALF REALLY HELP THAT
PROMISE FOR INNOVATIVE DECISION
MAKING AND IMPLEMENTATION. OF
NEW AND PRACTICES TO SUPPORT
IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES.
AND I THINK IT PRACTICE ARE
DISTRICTS ARE REALLY STRUGGLING
WITH ON THE IDENTIFICATION OF
THESE APPROPRIATE THE INNOVATIVE
NEW BEST PRACTICES AND EVEN MORE
WITH THE DEVELOPMENT AND
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS ON THE
GROUND. AND I THINK MISTER
DANIELS AND I WAS TALK A LITTLE
BIT ABOUT SOME OF THE EFFORTS
THAT WE.
THAT WE'VE SEEN ITEM THAT WE'VE
SEEN AND HOW WE HAVE ENGAGED
WITH OUR DISTRICTS TO EARLY
SUPPORT THIS KIND OF WORK
STARTING WITH SOME OF OUR TITUS
MOVING TO MORE FAR LOOSER
AFFECT.
THE ON THE VERY SERVE TIGHTEN
STRUCTURED AND AND WE HAVE
ENGAGE WITH A VERY SMALL AND
PIECE OF WORK AROUND WHAT WE
CALL THE TEST KITCHEN. AND THIS
TEST KITCHEN WORK IS WE'VE
PARTNERED WITH THREE.
DISTRICTS WHO HAVE AT
IDENTIFIED OF ANY PARTICULAR
AREA FOCUS IN THIS AREA FOCUS
WAS IDENTIFIED AS A RESULT OF
LARGER DEEPER ENGAGEMENTS WITH
THE FIELD OVER THE PAST YEAR. IN
LISTENING TO WEAR SOME OF THEIR
PAIN POINTS WERE IN IMPLEMENTING
LCF FASHION PARTICULARLY AROUND
THE USE AND I'M AT DEVELOPMENT
AT THE EL CAP. AND SO THIS WAS
REALLY FOCUSING ON DISTRICTS
NEEDS TO THINK ABOUT WAYS TO
FOCUS ON BUDGET TRANSPARENCY
BOTH INTERNALLY AND THEN AS WELL
AS ENGAGEMENT. ENGAGING WITH
THEIR DOCTOR STAKEHOLDERS
SO WITH THIS WORK WE'VE ENGAGED
WITH I'M PARTNERED WITH AND SOME
OF THE RESEARCH FOLKS AND WITH
THREE DISTRICTS AND WHO ARE
DEEPLY. I'M WORKING AROUND AND
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF STRUCTURE
FACILITATION PROCESS THESE THE
LOCAL LEVEL HOW WE DEFINE
INSTRUCT
PORT FOR DISTRICTS INNOVATE.
EMPLOYMENT WITH THIS IDEA OF
THEN THINKING ABOUT HOW WE
DOCUMENT THIS WORK AND TOO LADS
TO A DISSEMINATED OUT MORE
WIDELY BUT ALSO THINK ABOUT
HELPING THAT KIND OF SCALING UP.
AS A STATE SYSTEM AS ALL OF OUR
DISTRICTS WILL BE THINK ABOUT
THIS KIND IF I'M PARTICULAR NEED
AROUND BUDGET TRANSPARENCY WITH
ME ALL CAP.
SO THE NEXT EXAMPLE WOULD LIKE
TO ALK ABOUT OR THE
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NETWORK
SCORPIO LANDS.
WITH A ONE TIME FUNDING THE
LEGISLATURE. ARE PROVIDED AT THE
CC NOT A GOOD PORTION OF
THAT FUNDING IS DEDICATED TO
SUPPORTING AYE THESE P. LANDS.
CURRENTLY WE HAVE FIFTY SIX P.
LANDS
AND WALT.
.
THAT THE NUMBERS CHANGE SLIGHTLY
WE WE TOUCH APPROXIMATELY THREE
HUNDRED AND FIFTY.
ELEAZAR ACROSS THE STATE
PRIMARILY SCHOOL DISTRICTS BUT
ALSO CHARTER SCHOOLS.
ACCOUNTING OFFICES
AND THESE P. LANDS ARE
STRUCTURED IN A VERY FORMAL WAY
WHERE YOU HAVE A FACILITATOR
FROM THE HOST AT CITY.
IF WE A COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION BUT NOT ALWAYS.
AND THEY WORK AND FACILITATE
DISCUSSIONS AND LEARNING.
TWEEN THE PARTICIPANTS
OF THE NETWORK THEY MEET VERY
FREQUENTLY ARE ALWAYS ONCE A
MONTH SOMETIMES MORE THAN ONCE A
MONTH.
MOST OF THESE NETWORKS ARE
REGIONALLY BASED BUT SOME OF
THEM
SPAN THE STATE.
AND WE ARE.
.
COLLECTING INFORMATION FROM
THEIR WORK ON IN A VARIETY OF
WAYS WERE SERVING THE
FACILITATORS THE PARTICIPANTS.
WERE ASKING EACH OF THE NETWORKS
TO PUT TOGETHER SORT OF IMPACT
PLANS AND HOW THEY GONNA MEASURE
THEIR IMPACT.
I'M WE ASK THE FACILITATORS TO
WRITE MONTHLY REFLECTIONS.
AND WALL THERE ARE SIMILARITIES
OF COURSE IN THE STRUCTURE.
A FOCUS OF EACH NETWORK IS THE
SO YOU HAVE SOME NETWORKS THAT
FOCUSED ON HOW TO SERVE ENGLISH
LEARNERS BETTER. SON NETWORK
SPOKESMEN HAVE HOW DOES HER
FOSTER YOUTH BETTER SOME
NETWORKS FOCUS ON HOW TO DO.
THE EL CAP BETTER HOW TO MAKE
IT MORE MEANINGFUL IN TERMS OF
THE DECISION PROCESSES WITHIN
THE DISTRICT.
OUR OTHER NETWORKS FOCUS ON.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT HAVING GOT
THE LIST OF ALL FIFTY SIX WAS A
WIDE VARIETY FOCUS.
BUT THE STRUCTURE IS THE SAME
ONE OF THE UNIQUE THINGS ABOUT.
THESE NETWORKS XIN FOLKS A BIT
ON NETWORKS FOR MANY MANY YEARS
AS THAT WE NETWORK THE NETWORKS.
AND SO WE SUPPORT THE
FACILITATORS WITH THEIR OWN
NETWORK WHICH WE CALL.
FASHION LEARNING EXCHANGES
BECAUSE WE NEED ANOTHER ACRONYM
IN ANOTHER INITIAL.
AND WE FOUND SO FAR IN THE NINE
MONTHS OR SO THAT THE.
QUALITATIVE FEEDBACK HAS BEEN
VERY POSITIVE AND THERE'S BEEN A
LOT OF INTEREST FROM THE FIELD.
CONTINUING TO BE ENGAGED IN AND
TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY.
THROUGH THESE NETWORKS.
IT'S I THINK I AM WHEN BAD.
TALKING ABOUT THE P. ON TO THAT
SPECIAL LEARNING NETWORKS IT
REALLY GETS TO THE SECOND WE A
LESSON LEARNED THAT WE ARE
HEARING FROM OUR WORK IN THE
FIELD AND THAT IS AROUND. THE
DISTRICTS REAL DESIRE TO PATENT.
TO PARTICIPATE IN THESE KIND OF
NETWORKS AND LEARN FROM THEIR
PEERS IN THE FIELD ESPECIALLY
THOSE WITH WHOM THEY'RE NOT
ENGAGING WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS
SAY WITHIN. SO THAT THE SAME
KIND OF GEOGRAPHIC AREA WITH NO
REGIONAL COUNTY OFFICE REALLY
THINKING ABOUT THOSE WHO ARE
ALSO FOCUS ON ANY PARTICULAR
PROBLEMS OF PRACTICE. IN SHARING
SOME OF THESE BEST PRACTICES
THESE LESSONS WEREN'T ON THE
FEAST ADDED TRAPS TO AVOID AS WE
THINK ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION FORCE
ACCORDING STUDENT OUTCOMES. I
THINK ON THIS LARGER FUND SOME
OF THE WORK THAT WE HAVE DONE
WITH OUR PILOTS FOR EXAMPLE
WHICH IS MUCH LESS STRUCTURED
ENVIRONMENT. WE HAVE ENGAGED IN
WITH ELEVEN FORMAL PARTNERSHIPS
WITH DISTRICTS A COUNTY OFFICE
AND I HAD TO ADMIT OF OUR PILOTS
ARE CHARTERS. AS AS CMO. AND
REALLY THINKING ABOUT HOW WE
ENGAGE WITH A DISTRICT PARTNER
VERY DEEPLY IDENTIFYING THAT
MARY LOCALLY TO FIND PROPER
PRACTICE AND HOW WE CAN SUPPORT
YOUR T.
DECISION MAKING. AND GREATER
ENGAGEMENT ON A GREATER WIDER
BODY OF WORK CUTTING MORE
INFORMED ENGAGEMENT SO NOT JUST
THINKING ABOUT LARGER NUMBERS
ARE LARGER NUMBERS OF MEETINGS
THINKING ABOUT HOW WE PROVIDE
MORE. AND MORE INFORMATION TO
REALLY.
AT PRODUCE AT FOLKS THAT ARE
BORN GAUGE MORE DEEPLY INVOLVED
HAVE BOTH THE RESPONSIBILITY BUT
BEACON OF AUTHORITY TO HOPE AND
ENGAGE WITH NOT DECISION MAKING
PROCESS.
I'M.
I THINK WE'RE THINKING ABOUT HOW
WE USE A VARIETY OF PROFESSIONAL
ARTERY CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
PROCESS EAST BAY BASED ON
DISTRICT CHOICE.
A PORTS TO REALLY ENGAGE NOT IN
BUT A VALUATION PROCESS FOR AT
DISTRICTS TO REALLY SUPPORT
THEIR DECISION MAKING IN THEIR
NEXT STEPS.
AS A PART OF THIS WORK WITH OUR
INITIAL SIDE OF ELEVEN PILOTS
AND WE DO HAVE SOME OTHER FOLKS
WHO ARE INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS
AS WELL THAT ARE NOT PART A
FORMAL PILOT PROCESS. THEY'VE
ACTUALLY COME TO THE TABLE ASKED
TO.
TO PARTICIPATE WITH NET NET
NETWORK STRUCTURE AND SO EVEN AS
WE ENGAGE ONE ON ONE WITH THESE
DE. I'M VERY.
AT CONTENT SPECIFIC AND LOCALLY
SPECIFIC CONVERSATIONS WERE ALSO
ENGAGING IN THAT LARGER SHARING
PROCESS
THINK ABOUT HOW THEY CAN LEARN
FROM EACH OTHER IT'S A STATEWIDE
NETWORK. RATHER THAN INDIVIDUAL
ON INDIVIDUAL PROJECTS.
SO I THINK THAT'S WHAT GETS US
TO THE MISSILE HOW THE C. C. E.
ENGAGES WITH A BARBARA SYSTEM OF
SUPPORT ITSELF WHERE WE ARE. TO
BE AT THE TABLE WITH OUR
PARTNERS AND THE COUNTY OFFICES
IN OUR DISTRICTS AND. AND THE
STATE BOARD IN CD TO THINK
ABOUT WHAT THE STRUCTURE OF THIS
NEW STATEWIDE SYSTEM WALKS LIKE
AND A WE. KNOW AS WE THINK
ABOUT MOVING FORTIN EXCEPT THIS
OF ROSS SYSTEM I THINK OF A ONE
PIECE ARE I'VE VALUE AT THAT
WE'RE HOPING TO BRING TO THE
TABLE. IS REALLY THINKING ABOUT
HOW WE CAN PROVIDE SOME OF THAT
KIND. LARGER ACCOUNTABILITY AND.
NOT ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERSIGHT
AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN TERMS OF
CONNECTING WITH THE FIELD MORE
DEEPLY I'M I DIDN'T INDIVIDUAL.
I NEVER STATEWIDE LEVEL TO
REALLY GET A SENSE OF WHAT'S
HAPPENING WITH THAT DISTRICTS
ACROSS THE STATE.
THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY CRITICAL
LEVERS AND FOR POLICY MAKERS AND
PRACTITIONERS AS WE THINK ABOUT
THIS DECISION MAKING NEEDS TO
LOOK LIKE I'M. YOU KNOW MOVING
FOR FROM THE DASHBOARD WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF MORE NEW
PRACTICES AND WE DO SEE
OURSELVES REALLY ENGAGING DEEPLY
WITHOUT DISTRICT ELEAZAR
ESPECIALLY ACROSS THE STATE. AND
BEING ABLE TO BRIDGE SOME OF
THAT AND THE CONVERSATIONS
ACROSS WIDER GEOGRAPHIC SPREADS
I'M ACROSS CONTENT AREAS ACROSS
AND DEMOGRAPHICS BANDS TO REALLY
THINK ABOUT GUESS WHAT IS WHAT
ARE WE SEEING IN THE FIELD WHAT
ARE SOME OF THE NOTING BEST
PRACTICES. WHAT CAN WE TAKEN
DOCUMENT AND SCALE UP TO REALLY
BENEFIT ALL OF OUR STUDENTS? I
THINK A CLEAR EXAMPLE THAT
WORKED ON. THAT WE AYE URGED
TAKING OUR NEXT STEPS FROM IS WE
HAVE ENGAGED WITH SOME OF OUR
RESEARCH PARTNER SWELLED TO
THINK ABOUT STATEWIDE SURVEY.
AND WE ARE IN THE PROCESS OF
IMPLEMENTING THAT STATEWIDE
SURVEY ACOSTA COUNTY OFFICES.
ARE DISTRICTS AS WELL AS OUR
CHARTERS TO REALLY GET A SENSE
OF WHERE WE ARE NOW. IN TERMS OF
CONTENT KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE LCF
UP POLICIES ABOUT IMPLEMENTATION
OF SOME OF THESE NEW PRACTICES
SOME OF THEIR PROFESSION AND
PERCEPTIONS OF EFFICACY AND
BELIEF IN IMPACT. IS A ONE TIME.
IT IS CODED IN STATUTE FOR A
ONE TIME. AND ADMINISTRATION BUT
WE YOU KNOW WE WOULD LOVE TO SEE
THAT EXPANDED OVER TIME TO GET A
SENSE OF HOW THIS MOVES ACROSS
THE YEARS AS WE DEEPEN
IMPLEMENTATION. AND AND YOU KNOW
AS A SYSTEM ITSELF EVOLVES.
AND I THINK FOR ANOTHER EXAMPLE
OF THE PRIOR PANEL DISCUSS THE
OUTCOMES THAT DECEMBER DASHBOARD
RELEASE THE FACT THAT IF I TO
UNDER TWENTY EIGHT DISTRICTS
HUNDRED SIXTY THREE OF THEM.
IDENTIFIED AS A RESULT AT THE
STERN TO DISABILITIES AND
STUDENT GROUP AND AS A RESULT OF
THAT IN THE FALL. AND AT THE
STATE BOARD AND MEETING THERE
WAS A DISCUSSION ABOUT YOU KNOW
WHAT WOULD BE WHAT ACTIONS WE
TAKE COLLECTIVELY AS A STATE TO
REALLY THINK ABOUT THE WAYS IN
WHICH WE CAN BETTER SUPPORT OUT
DISTRICTS AS THEY SUPPORT. AND
THEIR STUDENTS WITH THAT AND
DISABILITIES WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS
AND CLASSROOMS AND AS A RESULT
OF THAT CONVERSATION AND THE CC
HAS TAKEN ON A
FACILITATIVE ROLE. IN REALLY
THINK ABOUT THINKING ABOUT THAT
COLLECTIVE EFFORT AND WE HAVE
BROUGHT TOGETHER SOME OF THE
LEADS IN THIS CONVERSATION
INCLUDING OUR SILVA. AND
DIRECTORS AND COUNTY OFFICES
PROGRAM AND LEADERS WHO AND
SUPPORT THIS TYPE OF THIS WORK
PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES AND WE
START TO ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS
ABOUT WHAT SOME OF THESE NEEDS
ARE WHAT THE OUTCOMES OF SOME
THE PROGRAMS TO DATE HAVE BEEN.
AND REALLY THINKING ABOUT WHAT
ARE SOME OF THE NEXT STEPS
ESPECIALLY AROUND AND LOOKING AT
THE DATA MORE CLOSELY IN
UNDERSTANDING SOME OF THESE
QUESTIONS ABOUT. YOU KNOW AND.
YOU KNOW WHAT ARE SOME OF THE
DIFFERENCES IN THE KINDS OF.
ACTIVITIES THAT A RESULT IN A
AND HOW CAN WE ALSO TURN AROUND
PERFORMANCE OBSTACLES PRICED
INTO DISABILITIES.
AND I JUST QUICKLY AND BY
CONGRESS FOR A TOPIC OF HOW THE
CC IS ENGAGED IN.
SUPPORTING THE OVERALL SYSTEM OF
SUPPORT AS I MENTIONED EARLIER
WE HAVE THE FIFTY SIX
PROFESSIONAL LEARNING NETWORKS
REPEAL LANDS.
AND WILL NOT ALL OF THEM ARE
BEING USED AS PART OF THE
SUPPORT PROCESS ON MANY OF THEM
ARE AND MANY OF THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS.
THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED FOR
DIFFERENT ASSISTANCE ARE
PARTICIPATING.
IN PROFESSIONAL NETWORKS WITH
THE COUNTY OFFICES.
AND THAT IS ALLOWING THE
RELATIONSHIPS BETWEEN THE
DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES TO BUILD
EVEN FURTHER.
AND ALLOWING SCHOOL DISTRICTS
THAT ARE.
STRONG WITH THE SAME CHALLENGES
TO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER AND TO
BENEFIT BOTH FROM THAT.
EXPERIENCE AS WELL AS THE
THOUGHT PARTNERSHIP.
FROM THE COUNTY OPPOSITE YOU.
SO THANKS VERY MUCH FOR YOUR
TIME AND THEN THIS WILL ANSWER
QUESTIONS YOU HAVE.
I WAS OUT.
RULES BIG.
BUTIF YOU WANT TO COME OFF
THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
THE CHAIR'S NOT DOING VERY WELL
TODAY.
GO AHEAD I THINK I'LL KEEP THIS
SHORT. KNOWN AS YOU THE DISK
HOMES DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET INCLUDES
ELEVEN POINT THREE MILLION
ONGOING PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GENERAL FUND FOR THE
COLLABORATIVE THIS IS
SIGNIFICANT. ON SPECIFICALLY
BECAUSE PRIOR TO THIS POINT WE
HAVE PROVIDED ONE TIME FUNDING
TO FROM THE ACTIVITIES OF THE
COLLABORATIVE SERVICES REFER TO
ME BUT THE MINUTES AN ONGOING
FUND.
I'M THE FUNDING WILL SUPPORT THE
CLUB IT'S WORKED OUT COUNTY
OFFICES OF EDUCATION BILL
CAPACITY IN PROVIDING ASSISTANCE
TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
WILL PROVIDE STATEWIDE TRAINING.
FACILITATE COLLABORATION.
AMONGST THE STATE WITH SYSTEM
OF SUPPORT AND UNNECESSARY
PROVIDE DIRECT ASSISTANCE TO
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN SPECIFIED
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCES.
ADDITIONALLY TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE FOR THE CLARIFIES THE
RULES THE CLOBBERED ESTIMATES
ESTIMATES.
THEY'RE GREAT AS WITH THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
I'LL BE WALKING THROUGH THE LAST
TWO PAGES OF THE HANDOUT THAT I
PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED YOU.
SO ON PAGE CHEN THAT JUST I'M
IS FOR YOUR REFERENCE BUT THIS
IS THE.
THAT OVERVIEW OF THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL FOR THE COLLABORATIVE
FOR EXCELLENT EDUCATION FOR
EDUCATIONAL EXCELLENCE.
AND THEN PAGE ELEVEN UP. JUST A
DISCUSES OUR ASSESSMENT AND
RECOMMENDATION FOR THIS
PROPOSAL.
I'M SORE OVERALL CONCERN IS A
FUNNY FOR THE COLLABORATIVE IS
ALLOCATED FOR A VARIETY OF
PURPOSES BUT THE MAJORITY OF THE
FUNDING IS PROPOSED TO BE SPENT
SUPPORTING COUNTIES AND REGIONAL
ENTITIES. INSTEAD OF A FUND
UNSENT OF USING FUNDING TO
DIRECTLY SUPPORT DISTRICTS OF
PERFORMANCE ISSUES. SO AS AN
ALTERNATIVE TO THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL WE RECOMMEND USING THE
COOPERATIVE AS A VERY DIFFERENT
ENTITY AS THEY CURRENTLY ARE IN
A VERY DIFFERENT TO T. AS WHAT
THE. AS THE ADMINISTRATION
PROPOSES.
AND WE RECOMMEND THAT THEY BE
USED AS AN ENTITY THAT OPERATES
SIMILAR TO FIX MATT WHERE ONCE A
DISTRICT IS DEMONSTRATED THAT
THEY NEED ASSISTANCE. FIGMENT
DEVELOPS A TEAM.
I CAN SUPPORT THE DISTRICT AND
SOME VERY SPECIFIC AREAS THAT WE
THINK WE CAN BUILD OFF THE
SUSPECTS THE SUCCESS THAT WE'VE
SEEN IN FIG MATTED SUPPORTING
DISTRICTS AND MODEL THE
COOPERATIVE TO OPERATE
SIMILARLY.
SO THE FIRST STEP IN OUR OUR
TENTATIVE IS THAT IDENTIFIED
DISTRICTS WOULD WORK WITH THEIR
COUNTIES TO UNCOVER THE ROOT
CAUSES OF THE PERFORMANCE ISSUE
IN THIS IS THE ROOT CAUSE
ANALYSIS WHICH I DESCRIBED IN
THE PREVIOUS.
ISSUE.
SO ONCE THE COUNTY COMPLETED THE
ROOT CAUSE ANALYSIS THE DISTRICT
WOULD THEN WORK WITH THE
COLLABORATIVE TO IDENTIFY AN
EXPERT OR TEAM OF EXPERTS THE
DISTRICTS COULD WORK WITH THAT
WOULD ADDRESS THE ROOT. THE ROOT
CAUSES OF THE PERFORMANCE ISSUES
THAT THE COUNTIES AND DISTRICTS
IDENTIFIED.
THE EXPERTS COULD BE COUNTY
OFFICE OF EDUCATION THEY COULD
BE DISTRICTS OTHER PERFORMED FOR
THE PROVIDERS OF EDUCATIONAL
SERVICES ARE EDUCATION
CONSULTANTS. THE IDEA IS THAT
THE COLLABORATIVE WOULD HAVE
EXPERTS UNDER CONTRACTS THAT WE
NEEDED EXPERTS WILL BE AVAILABLE
TO SUPPORT DISTRICTS IN NEED.
OTHER RECOMMENDED SYSTEM WOULD
WORK.
WOULD PROVIDE DISTRICTS WITH
GREATER CHOICE IN SELECTING
EXPERTS THOUGH NOT REQUIRED
DISTRICTS COULD WORK WITH THE
COLLABORATIVE TO CHOOSE THE
CHOOSERS CONTRACTED EXPERTS BEST
SUITED TO HELP ADDRESS THEIR KEY
PERFORMANCE ISSUES. AND
DISTRICTS ALREADY HAVE A WE
THINK THE DISTRICTS HAVE A
STRONG INCENTIVE TO CHOOSE
PROVIDERS.
CHIU SUPPORT PROVIDERS WISELY
I'M UNDER STATE LAW IF DISTRICTS
FAILED TO IMPROVE.
THEY CAN GET INTO INTENSIVE
INTERVENTION AND.
AFTER SEVERAL YEARS AND WHERE
IF THEY DO IT AND UP AN
INTENSIVE INTERVENTION THE
SUPERINTENDENT. OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION CAN REQUIRE BUDGET
AN ALCOTT PROVISIONS AS WELL
STAY IN RECENT DISTRICT BOARD
DECISIONS.
WITH ALL THAT SAID WE PRESENT
THIS OPTION TO DISPLAY THAT
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE WAY.
THERE'S MORE THAN ONE MODEL FOR
THE LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER TO
ACHIEVE THE DESIRED OUTCOME OF
SUPPORTING DISTRICTS AND
STUDENTS. AND THIS CONCLUDES MY
REMARKS AND I'M HAPPY TO TAKE
QUESTIONS.
IN THAT ALL HAD BEEN HOW THE
DISTRICT REACTING TO THIS.
SERVICE HARD I MEAN.
YOU GET FEEDBACK.
ABSOLUTELY I THINK AND YOU KNOW
I.
WE ARE SERVING OUR OWN EFFORTS
AND I'M CONTINUE TO IMPROVE OUR
OWN EFFORTS BASED ON THOSE
RESULTS AND I THINK WE ARE
HAPPY.
AND YOU KNOW WITH THESE SURVEY
RESULTS WE'VE GOTTEN IN THAT
AND.
THAT OUR DISTRICT PARTNERS ARE.
I'M VERY WELL PLEASE KIND OF
WORK I THINK WE'VE ALWAYS
THOUGHT ABOUT THE MEASURE OF OUR
SUCCESS IS BEING THAT POINT IN
TIME WHICH. AND THE REQUEST FOR
SERVICES INTERACTION OF THE CCD
EXCEED ACT PASSED THIRTY TO
PROVIDE THE SERVICES AND. WE
HAVE DEFINITELY AND YELL OUT
CONTACT PLACE ALREADY AND
ESPECIALLY AS WE ENTER THIS
PHASE OF DIFFERENT YOU COULD
ASSISTANCE FOURTH DISTRICTS. I'M
AND ANTICIPATE MORE DISTRICTS
COMMITTED TABLE REQUESTING
ADDITIONAL SUPPORTED THE MOVE ON
FROM THAT.
INITIAL REQUEST ANALYSIS
PROCESS AND THINK ABOUT WHAT
DEEPLY THINKING ABOUT NEXT STEPS
FOR SUPPORTING THEIR STUDENTS.
THANK YOU.
ANY COMMENT ON THE LA DOES
SUGGESTION TO MOVE. MORE TOWARDS
AFFECT MY.
THE MODEL.
YES ALLEN.
I THINK OUR CONCERNS WE HAVE
SEVERAL CONCERNS WITH THAT WITH
THE RECOMMENDATION FROM ADALIO.
THE FIRST CONCERN IS.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS UNDER OUR
PROPOSAL ON.
MAY STILL.
CONTRACT OUT FOR ANY KIND OF
ASSISTANCE THEY WISH NOTHING
THAT WE HAVE IN OUR PROPOSAL
IMPINGES UPON THEIR ABILITY TO
USE THEIR LCF DOLLARS AS THEY
WISH.
ON WHAT WE ARE TRYING TO DO IS
INCORPORATE ON THE COUNTY
OFFICES INTO THE PROCESS
AND I THINK THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
POINT BECAUSE THE COUNTY OFFICES
OF EDUCATION HAVE THE AUTHORITY
UNDER STATE LAW.
TO APPROVE THE EL CAP OF THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT THEY HAVE
SO IT'S IMPORTANT THEY BE A
PARTNER IN ALL OF THIS.
I AM I THINK THE OTHER THING
THAT WE'RE REALLY INTERESTED IN
IS. WE'VE HAD A SYSTEM ON WHERE.
STATE LAW AND.
IDENTIFY THE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION AS AN ENTITY TO
IDENTIFY EXPERTS THAT FOLKS
COULD USE. ON TO IMPROVE RESULTS
AND THAT REALLY HAS RESULTED IN
IN THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP THAT WE
SEE TODAY. SO WE HAVE SOME
CONCERNS THAT YOU KNOW
RECREATING NOT JUST WITH UNDER
ANOTHER AND HE MIGHT NOT PROVIDE
THE BEST RESULTS.
AND FINALLY WE ARE REALLY
INTERESTED IN BUILDING ON THE
STATE'S CAPACITY TO SERVE
ITSELF.
AND TO DO THAT IN A LONG TERM
WAY.
TODAY EXCEPT ARENA OUTSIDE
EXPERTS WERE NOT NECESSARILY
ALLOWING OUR COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
REALLY WORK INTERNALLY TO THEIR
OWN SYSTEMS.
TO BUILD THE CAPACITY TO ENSURE
A THAT THERE SOLVING THEIR OWN
PROBLEMS THE BE THERE DOING IN A
WAY THAT SIXTEEN NOBLE.
THERE'S A VERY BIG DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN HAVING A CONTRACTOR CON
MEN FOR A SHORT PERIOD OF TIME.
AND CREATE NEW SYSTEMS AND AND
TRY TO CREATE CHANGE AND THEN GO
AWAY.
AND MAYBE THOSE CHANGES ARE NOT
SUSTAINED OVER TIME TO HAVING
THE PEOPLE WHO ARE INTIMATELY
INVOLVED IN THIS PROCESS SEIZE.
BE THE ONES WHO ARE CREATING
THAT CHANGE AND BILLING THAT
PASSED AROUND SUSTAIN THAT
CHANGE BECAUSE A COUNTY OFFICE
OF EDUCATION ARE NOT GONNA GO
AWAY.
AFTER A FEW YEARS ARE GONNA
CONTINUE TO BLOW THEIR.
SO.
THOSE ARE REALLY ARE ARE KEY
ISSUES FROM THE EARLIEST
TAKE IT AWAY.
GOOD AFTERNOON MR KAREN MEMBER.
AMBER ALEXANDER WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
IN THE SPIRIT OF COORDINATION
ACROSS THE STATE THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET PROVIDES TEN MILLION AN
ON GOING PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT FUNDING. TO INCORPORATE
SPECIAL EDUCATION LOCAL PLAN
AREAS OR SO POSTS INTO THE STATE
SYSTEM OF SUPPORT. THROUGH THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF SIX TO TEN SUB
BELIEVES WHO WILL WORK WITH
COUNTY OFFICES TO IMPROVE PEOPLE
OUTCOMES.
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
RECOGNIZES THAT SUFFERS HAVE
EXPERTISE IN THE DELIVERY AND
MANAGEMENT OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
SERVICES. THAT WE BELIEVE COULD
ENHANCE THE SUPPORT PROVIDED BY
THE COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION.
THE ADMINISTRATION BELIEVES THAT
BRINGING SUPPERS INTO THE STATE
SYSTEM SUPPORT IS CRITICAL GIVEN
THAT APPROXIMATELY TWO THIRDS OF
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IDENTIFIED FOR
DIFFERENTIATED ASSISTANCE NEED
TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR THIS
POPULATION.
IN ADDITION THE GOVERNOR
PROPOSES SEVERAL CHANGES THROUGH
TRAILER BILL THAT ARE INTENDED
TO PROVIDE GREATER COORDINATION
BETWEEN SPECIAL EDUCATION
SERVICES AND GENERAL EDUCATION
PLANNING AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
SPECIFICALLY NEVER CRIME ANSWER
ADDED FOR COUNTY AND DISTRICT
SUPERINTENDENTS TO CONSULT WITH
THEIR SELF BUT TO DETERMINE THAT
ACTIONS AND SERVICES INCLUDED IN
THEIR LOCAL CONTROL
ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN. ARE
CONSISTENT WITH STRATEGIES THAT
ARE IN THEIR SELF A LOCAL PLAN
FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH EXCEPTIONAL
NEEDS.
IN ADDITION IN AN EFFORT TO
INCREASE TRANSPARENCY AROUND THE
SUPPLE PLAN. THE BUDGET PLAN AND
THE SERVICES PLAN.
THE GOVERNOR DIRECTS THE STATE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO
DEVELOP PLANTAGENETS AND ALSO TO
DEVELOP A SUMMARY DOCUMENT THAT
LINKS THE BUDGET PLAN TO THE
SERVICES AND ACTIVITIES IN THE
LOCAL PLAN FOR THE ENSUING
FISCAL YEAR.
BEGINNING ON JULY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY TRAILER TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE ALSO REQUIRES THAT
SPECIAL EDUCATION LOCAL PLANS BE
UPDATED EVERY THREE YEARS AND
LINE WITH A THREE YEAR AL CAPP
PLANNING CYCLE.
AND FRANKLY THE GOVERNOR
REQUIRES THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND COUNTY OFFICES OF EDUCATION
POST THEIR LOCAL PLANNED BUDGET
PLAN AND SERVICES PLAN ON THEIR
WEBSITE AND ALSO AND THAT A
COMPLETE COPY OF THE PLAN BE
HELD ON FILE IN THE SOAP OFFICE
IN EACH PARTICIPATING LOCAL
EDUCATIONAL AGENCY.
THE GOAL HERE IS REALLY TO
ENSURE THAT THESE PLANS ARE
ACCEPTABLE A TO ANY INTERESTED
PARTY.
AGAIN THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL
PROPOSALS ARE FOCUSED ON THE
GOAL OF PROVIDING MORE AND LOCAL
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
AROUND SPECIAL EDUCATION
PLANNING. AND ALSO FURTHERING
EFFORTS TO INTEGRATE SPECIAL
EDUCATION AND GENERAL EDUCATION
INTO ONE COHESIVE CSUS.
I HAVE WITH ME WE SUMMER THINGS
HE ALSO WITH FINANCE AND WE'RE
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS.
A GOOD AFTERNOON RAIN ANDERSON
WITH THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
OFFICE SAYS THE.
ADMINISTRATION.
DESCRIBE THE PROPOSAL HAS
SEVERAL ELEMENTS TO IT AND AND
WE DON'T HAVE ANY CONCERNS WITH.
.
THOSE ELEMENTS RELATED TO
SPECIAL EDUCATION PLANNING
REGARDING THESE SELF OF REGIONAL
LEAVES.
OUR CONCERNS ARE ARE VERY
SIMILAR TO THOSE THAT WE RAISED
ABOUT THE OTHER ELEMENTS OF
THEIR STATEWIDE SYSTEMS TO
SUPPORT PROPOSAL.
BUT IN ADDITION TO THOSE
THOUGHTS.
WE'RE ALSO CONCERNED THAT THIS
A UNNECESSARILY BIFURCATES OF
THE SYSTEM A SUPPORT FOR
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES AND
THOSE.
SUPPORTS PROVIDED PERSONS
WITHOUT DISABILITIES
NOW NOW IT'S TRUE THAT ITSELF
WAS HAVE EXPERTISE IN PROVIDING
SPECIAL EDUCATION SERVICES THE
SPECIFIC ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED
BY THE DASHBOARD. ARE A IN TERMS
OF PERFORMANCE PERSONS WITH
DISABILITIES ARE ARE NOT
ACTUALLY SPECIAL EDUCATION
ISSUES THEIR GENERAL EDUCATION
ISSUES
WOULD BE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE.
A SUSPENSION AND EXPULSION OF
THESE ARE DICTATED BY THE SAME
POLICIES AND PROCEDURES.
I THAT APPLY TO ALL STERN
POPULATIONS
ON ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE FOR
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES IS
LARGELY DICTATED BY. A GENERAL
EDUCATION TEACHERS WHO HAVE
SINCE WITH DISABILITIES IN THEIR
CLASSROOM IT. IS ALL TO SAY IT'S
NOT CLEAR TO US WHY WE WOULD
NEED A SEPARATE ENTITY FOR
INTERVENING FOR ISSUES THAT ARE
SPECIFIC TO STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES. I AM NOT OF RELY
ON THE SAME SOURCE OF EXPERTISE
FOR THOSE SAME ISSUES WHEN THEY
OCCUR WITH OTHER STUDENT
POPULATIONS.
GOOD AFTERNOON DEBRA BROWN ON
BEHALF A STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION TOM PRODUCTS
AND. JUST ISN'T GENERAL COMMENTS
AT THAT THE CD IT THAT THAT THE
DEPARTMENT IS OVERALL SUPPORTIVE
OF THAT THE CONCEPT OF THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL WE ONESELF
IS TO HAVE. ACCOUNTABILITY FOR
THEIR STATUTORY RULES AS WELL AS
PROVIDE FISCAL TRANSPARENCY
AROUND HOW THEY DETERMINE IT
DISTRIBUTES SPECIAL EDUCATION
FUNDING TED MEMBER ELEAZAR. AND
WERE SUPPORTIVE OF A TEMPLATE TO
ENSURE CONSISTENCY TRANSPARENCY
AND ACCESS TO EVERY SYLLABLE
LOCAL PLAN AD WE'VE BEEN HAVING
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE AND THE
SELF ADMINISTRATORS. ASSOCIATION
AROUND THE PROPOSED TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE BUT WE DO HAVE A COUPLE
OF CONCERNS AROUND THE
ALIGNMENT.
OF THE SELF BUT.
SOPEL LOCAL PLANS WITH THE
ALLEY ES EL CAPS NAMELY WHILE
ALIGNMENT OF A SELF BY LOCAL
PLAN TO AN ALLEY ES EL CAP MAYBE
PRACTICAL. AND IN A ONE
DISTRICTS A IN A ONE DISTRICTS
UP A A MULTI DISTRICTS UP WHAT
WOULD HAVE TO CONTEND WITH
MULTIPLE. AT ALL CAPS TO ALIGN
WITH THE LOCAL PLAN WHICH WHICH
WE THINK WOULD BE DIFFICULT WE
BELIEVE THAT THERE MAY BE WAYS
TO ENSURE THE INTENDED
COORDINATION OF LOCAL PLANS WITH
THE GOALS. OF ALLEY OF ALLEY A
L. CAPS AND WE WILL CONTINUE TO
HAVE CONVERSATIONS WITH THAT
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE ITSELF
ADMINISTRATORS AROUND THIS ISSUE
THANK YOU.
NO DEBRA.
WE'VE HAD THE FCM A KEY C. C. E.
S. E. LP A TODAY.
AND I'M JUST WONDERING WITH ALL
THESE LAYERS.
ARE WE GETTING VALUE FOR.
FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING IS IT.
HELP FULL OR IS IT.
IS IT JUST.
MORE BUREAUCRACY WE I MEAN HOW
DO WE CONVINCE OUR OUR
CONSTITUENTS IT THIS IS A.
THESE ARE GREAT.
STRUCTURE.
SO AS I AND I CAN DEFERRED OF
DEPARTMENT FINANCE SINCE IT IS
THAT PROPOSED WHAT IS IS WE
WOULDN'T WANT TO SEE WHERE IT IS
JUST MORE I THINK IS WE'RE
LOOKING AT THE OTHER
TRANSPARENCY PROPOSALS ABOUT THE
SENATE'S PROPOSAL AND THAT. THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSAL
GENERALLY AROUND BUDGET
TRANSPARENCY ALONG WITH THIS IF
WE WOULD WANT IT TO BE AN
EXERCISE THAT DOESN'T PRODUCE
ANY INFORMATION BUT PART OF THE
AT THE ROLL AROUND LOCAL CONTROL
IT REALLY IS AROUND HAVING.
GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY AND
TRANSPARENCY AT THAT LOOK AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL SO WE WOULD WANNA
HAVE A STRUCTURE IN PLACE ON ON
THIS FOR THAT THE SELF BUT. AND
TRANSPARENCY THAT THAT DOES MEET
THAT OBJECTIVE WE WOULD WANT IT
TO BE AGAIN AND IT JUST ANOTHER
EXERCISE FOR. A SELF OR FOR A
DISTRICT SO ANYTHING THAT'S PART
OF THE ONGOING CONVERSATION TO
MAKE SURE THAT IT'S IT'S IT'S
LAYERS OF USEFUL INFORMATION
THAT PROVIDE. I'M AT DIFFERENT
LEVELS OF TRANSPARENCY.
WELL YOU'VE GOT TO BELIAU
PANELISTS THERE. KIND OF PUSHING
BACK A LITTLE BIT.
SO IS THERE ALLEGE THEY HAVE
OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE THE
CURRENT.
APPROACH.
TO IMPROVE THAT THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED
APPROACH JONES TALKING ABOUT THE
ONLY OWES THEY'VE BEEN.
SOME FUN TODAY.
PUSHING BACK AGAIN AND AND SO
THAT MEANS THAT SOMEONE'S IN
APPARENTLY SAYING WE CAN
IMPROVE.
AND I GUESS MY QUESTION IS WHAT
SAY YOU.
REGARDING THE AT THE LA AS
PROPOSAL BROWN I THINK WE HAVE
WE WANT TO LOOK AT IT FURTHER I
THINK WHAT WHAT WE IN LOOKING AT
WHAT THE AD DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE'S PROPOSE WILL GENERALLY
SUPPORTIVE OF IT AND IT. BUT
AGAIN WE'VE IDENTIFIED AT LEAST
ONE AREA OF CONCERN WITH ITS I
THINK FOR LOOKING AT WHEAT WHEAT
WE THINK WHAT THEY'RE TRYING TO
ACCOMPLISH IS A IS A LAUDABLE
OBJECTIVE. AND HOW WE GET THERE.
I'M WERE OPENED A CONVERSATION I
WANT TO BE PRODUCTIVE I IN THAT
CONVERSATION.
ORTEZ IN THIS AT MISTER ANDERSON
ANY.
COUNTERPOINT AMULET SEVERAL FINE
HERE.
BY THE REFEREE JUNIOR HIGH.
I GOOD AT FEDERAL ROAD THAT
LEADS THE ROTH AYE I DO THINK
THAT YOU'RE YOU'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT CENTER MORE LIKE IT'S PART
OF OUR CONCERN WITH SOME OF THE
ELEMENTS OF THE PROPOSAL. WE
WILL THINK THERE'S A PROBLEM
WITH ADDING ADDITIONAL SORT OF
LAYERS IF WE CAN QUICKLY SEE A
VERY CLEAR ROLE AND
RESPONSIBILITY IN MOST CASES. I
THINK IN THE CASE OF THE
REGIONAL LEADS AND AND THE SOLVE
OUR.
THE THOUGHT OF A REGIONAL LEADS
IN BOTH OF THOSE CASES WE THINK
THAT THE PROPOSAL HAS VERY FUZZY
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES FOR
THESE ENTITIES.
WE'RE NOT COMPLETELY CLEAR ON
WHAT VALUE THESE FOLKS ARE
ADDING AND THAT'S PART OF WHY
OUR RECOMMENDATION IS JUST USING
THE COUNTIES AND THE AND THE
COLLABORATIVE. AND BEEN VERY
CLEAR ABOUT WHAT THE RULES OUGHT
ARE THE COUNT EVEN EVEN THE
COUNTY OFFICES ROLE IN THIS
OVERALL PROPOSAL.
THAT'S TO PROVIDE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE BUT DOESN'T ACTUALLY
SPECIFY ANY MINIMUM EXPECTATION
HOURS OR OR CLEAR EXPECTATION
FROM A DISTRICT FROM WHAT
THEY'RE GOING TO GET I THINK
FROM. FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE
THAT'S THAT THAT'S ONE OF THE
REALLY KEY IMPORTANT ISSUES IS
CLARIFYING WHAT WHAT ARE THE
ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES WITH
EACH ENTITIES UP PURPOSE IN IN
THE SYSTEM.
WITH THOSE TWO WE THOUGHT WE
DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING CLEARLY IN
AND AND THE MORE ACTORS YOU ADD
WITHOUT THE RESPONSIBILITIES.
THE FUZZIER FUZZIER GETS TO
FIGURE OUT WHO'S ACCOUNTABLE FOR
WHAT AND AND IF THINGS GO WRONG
WHERE WHERE WE THINK THERE ARE
AREAS THAT WE NEED TO FACE.
S. ALEXANDER ANY RESPONSE.
I THINK WE WERE JUST EMPHASIZE
THAT THAT THE BENEFIT THAT
YOU'RE GING TO SEE FROM THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL IS REALLY
BRINGING ALL OF THESE ENTITIES
INTO ONE COHESIVE SUPPORT
SYSTEM.
COUNTY OFFICES WILL CONTINUE TO
BE THE LEAD ON BUT BY BRINGING
CELLPHONES AND BY BRINGING THE
COLLABORATIVE AND THAT COUNTY
OFFICE WILL HAVE OPTIONS TO GO
TO IN ORDER TO BUILD A MORE
ROBUST SUPPORT SYSTEM TO IMPROVE
THOSE PEOPLE OUTCOMES.
RIGHT WILL DISSIPATE AGAIN NEXT
YEAR THEN.
THANK YOU.
I THINK MISS BROWN'S COME ABOUT
THE SELF WAS THAT HAVE MORE
REGIONAL. CHALLENGES SCORED
MAKING SURE THAT THAT'S
COORDINATED.
SEEM TO BE AT.
SOMETHING THAT.
AS A PORTANTINO. AND AND I JUST
REITERATE WE ARE IN
CONVERSATIONS WITH BOTH THE
DEPARTMENT IN THIS OP US TO LOOK
AT THAT ISSUE SPECIFICALLY
SINGLE DISTRICTS UP ITS FIRST
MULTI DISTRICTS UP AND MAKING
SURE THAT THE LANGUAGE WORKS FOR
BOTH.
YEAH AND I GUESS MY MY GENERAL
TAKE AWAY FROM TODAY IS AS
THOUGH THERE'S BEEN SOME.
I USED OR DISAGREEMENT OR SOME.
OBJECTIONS ON IMPROVEMENTS.
THEY'VE REALLY HAVEN'T BEEN
FUNDAMENTAL TO THE STRUCTURES
THAT HAVE BEEN PUT IN PLACE
SINCE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING ONE
AND PLAY. THAT IT'S IT'S MAKING
THIS SYSTEM A LITTLE BIT BETTER.
BUT ALSO GIVING IT TIME SO THE
DATA.
YOU KNOW SHE
LEADS US TO THE PATH OF
IMPROVEMENT THAT I. THERE SEEMS
TO BE GENERAL AGREEMENT THAT THE
SYSTEM IN PLACE.
IS WELL STRUCTURED AND THAT THE
LAYERS ON TOP OF EACH OTHER. ARE
ARE HAVING INTENDED.
BENEFIT AND SO I THINK.
YOU KNOW FROM OUR PERSPECTIVE
YOU KNOW.
IF IN TWO YEARS FROM NOW YOU
KNOW WE HAVEN'T SEEN. OTHER
PROGRAMS AND OTHER THINGS THEN I
I THINK THERE.
YOU KNOW WHOLESALE CHANGES MAY
BE NECESSARY BUT I THINK.
FROM WHAT I'M HEARING IT'S HOW
WE MAKE OF. HOW WE MAKE IT
BETTER BUT GENERALLY THERE IS
AGREEMENT THAT THINGS ARE ARE
STARTING TO WORK? THE WAY THAT
THEY WERE INTENDED TO WHEN THE
GOVERNOR START US DOWN THIS PATH
OF GOLF.
SORT OF AGREE WITH THAT.
YOU DON'T HAVE TO AGREE WITH ME
JUST BECAUSE I'M SITTING HERE AT
THIS BUT.
THAT JUST SEEMS TO BE THE
TAKEAWAY. RIGHT.
OKAY. THANK YOU.
WE'LL GO TO PUBLIC COMMENT.
LINE UP ONE MINUTE.
THEY ALL RUSH TO THE FRONT WHO
WANTS TO BE FIRST THAT WHO WANTS
TO BE LAST THAT'S ALWAYS THE.
THE GOAL.
ISLAND YEAH MY THANK YOU PANEL.

AND TRY TO TAKE THIS TO THE
NEXT STEP AND WE LOOK FORWARD TO
CONTINUING THOSE CONVERSATIONS

IMPORTANT TO INTEGRATE SPECIAL

DISCUSSIONS BECAUSE THAT HAS HAD
ONE OF THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
FISCAL IMPACTS ON PUBLIC
EDUCATION AND WE BELIEVE THAT
NOW IS THE TIME TO ADDRESS THAT
SITUATION MAKING.
ONE MINUTE EXACTLY.
GOOD AFTERNOON ALICE KESSLER IN

MISTER CHAIRMAN AND US SENATOR
MORLOCK AND BRIAN REAVIS
SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THE

GROUP THAT IS FOCUSED ON CLOSING
OPPORTUNITY IN ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.
AND I WANTED TO SHARE HOW
QUICKLY WE SUPPORT THE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING THAT THE
GOVERNOR HAS PROPOSED TO FULLY
IMPLEMENT LCF HAVE. IN THE
PROPOSAL THAT I BELIEVE IS
COMING FROM SENATE DEMOCRATS TO
ADD TO IT. WE THINK THAT THE
ADDITIONAL FUNDING WILL HAVE A
POSITIVE EFFECT ON EQUITY.
UP BUT I THINK WE NEED TO FOCUS
MORE DO SOME MORE WORK AROUND
FISCAL TRANSPARENCY WE DO A LOT
OF WORK WITH COMMUNITY AMP
PARENT GROUPS. AND PEOPLE ARE
STRUGGLING TO SEE NOT ONLY HOW
ELSE IF IF DOLLARS ARE OR
SUPPLEMENT ON CONCENTRATION
GRANTS.
ARE BEING USED AND WHETHER OR
NOT THEY'RE REACHING THE
TARGETED STUDENTS.
YOUR STAFF HAS DONE SOME GOOD
WORK ON A TRANSPARENCY PROPOSAL

GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL. UP BUT WE
WANT TO CONTINUE WORKING WITH
THEM WE HAVE SOME QUESTIONS
ABOUT HOW. IT A ADDRESSES USED

TRANSPARENCY IS STILL CRITICAL.
I'M SUMMIT EARLY ANALYSES EVEN
IF DEEMED ANECDOTAL GIVEN SMALL
SAMPLE SIZES RAISES HUGE
CONCERNS ABOUT. WHETHER TARGETED
STUDENTS ARE TRULY BENEFITING TO
THE EXTENT. I AM IN INTENDED AND
ONE OF THEM OUT ONE ANALYSIS
STUDY TWENTY FIVE DISTRICTS.
AND IT LOOKED AT THE THREE YEARS
OF STAFF RESOURCE ALLOCATIONS
AND ONLY HALF OF OUR DISH OF
THOSE DISTRICTS THAT STUDIED
WERE STUDY THE TWENTY FIVE. I'M
BORED DEDICATING AND INCREASED
BUT IN ADDITIONAL AMOUNT OF
STAFF TO THEIR SOUND HIGH AND A
LITTLE.
HIGH POVERTY SCHOOLS I'M A
SIMILAR ANALYSIS WAS DONE WITH
SMALLER NUMBER OF OUR SCHOOLS O
THEIR ACTUAL DOLLARS NOT JUST

ARE NOW REQUIRED TO DO THINGS
THAT THEY HADN'T DONE BEFORE AND
OF SOME OF THEM INCLUDE. A USING
CAPACITIES THAT THEY MAY NOT
HAVE SUCH AS STAKEHOLDER
ENGAGEMENT AND IMPROVING SCHOOL
CLIMATE.
