PRESENTE TWENTY TWO I'VE BEEN
THIS COMMITTEE BEFORE TALKING
ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND WE THINK
THIS IS THE YEAR TO FINALLY
MAKE THIS HAPPEN MAKING A PRE
K. UNIVERSALLY ACCESSIBLE FOR
ALL FOUR YEAR OLDS IN
CALIFORNIA. A FIRST OF ALL I
THINK THANK YOU AND YOUR STAFF
AND I WILL BE ACCEPTING THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS- HI WE
KNOW THAT EARLY EDUCATION. IS A
BIG DIFFERENCE MAKER IN MATTERS
FOR THE KIDS AND COMMUNITIES
ACROSS CALIFORNIA IMPACTS THE
TRAJECTORY OF THE LIGHTS FOR
SUCCESS AMONG OUR KIDS
IMPROVING SOCIAL EMOTIONAL
DEVELOPMENT. SCHOOL READINESS
AS WELL AS LONG TERM ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT AS WELL AND AS WELL
AS ADDRESSES CRIMINAL JUSTICE
ISSUES KIDS WHO GO TO EARLY AT
AND QUALITY PRE K. ARE LESS
LIKELY END UP IN OUR JUVENILE
JUSTICE SYSTEM. HOWEVER TOO
MANY FAMILIES STRUGGLE TO FIND
PRE K. IN CHILD CARE MASSIVE
WAITING LISTS. AND IF YOU CAN'T
OF. HAVE A SLOT TO GO SOMETIMES
WE KNOW THAT PRIVATE PRE K.
COST MORE THAN UC BERKELEY. SO
TOO MANY FAMILIES ARE NOT BOND
THE SUBSIDIZE LIST BECAUSE THEY
ARE SO CALLED A TO- RICH TO BE
ON THE SUBSIDIZE LIST BUT
THEY'RE TOO POOR TO PAY THE
TRUE AMOUNT OF PRE K. IN THEIR
COMMUNITIES. SO WITH THIS BILL
AND WITH THE PACKAGE THAT WE
ARE PUTTING FORWARD THIS YEAR
IN THE BUDGET AND THROUGH OTHER
A BILL THROUGHOUT THE
LEGISLATURE WE WILL HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO REALLY. DO THIS
ONCE AND FOR ALL AND MAKE EASY
UNIVERSALLY ACCESSIBLE
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA- THIS
BILL AB TWENTY TWO WILL JUST
WILL DO JUST THAT FOR FOUR YEAR
OLDS GIVING EVERY CHILD IN
CALIFORNIA. A FREE YEAR OF
UNIVERSAL PRE K. THROUGH
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN AS WE
CURRENTLY KNOW ONLY KIDS ARE
BORN IN THE FALL GET THIS FREE
YEAR OF TEEKAY. AND BY DOING
THIS WE WILL EXPECT SPENDING
ACCESS FOR ZERO THREE THREE FOR
THE KIDS TO COOK FOR THE SLOTS
pPRESCHOOL NEARLY HUNDRED
THOUSAND SLOTS CURRENTLY SERVE
FOUR YEAR OLD AND STATE
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM. WE CAN USE
THOSE MONIES TO SHIFT TO SERVE
MORE ZERO THREE THREE
POPULATION WHICH IS HEARD
INSTANTLY MOUNTS BUILT THIS
COMMITTEE A FEW WEEKS AGO- THIS.
IT WILL BE TO REALLY. TACKLE
THE SCHOOL READINESS GAP AND
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE DIFFERENCE
WITH KIDS THROUGHOUT OUR
COMMUNITIES HAVE TWO YEARS. OF
QUALITY EARLY EDUCATION BEFORE
THEY ENTER KINDERGARTEN. AGAIN
THIS BILL IS PART OF A LARGER
EASY PACKAGES HERE THROUGH- THE
BUDGET AND LEGISLATION-
ELEMENTS OF THIS ARE EXPANDING.
SLOTS THROUGH TRANSITIONAL TKA
AND OUR STATE PRESCHOOL AND
CHILD CARE PROGRAM OVER HALF A
MILLION SLOTS. ARE SCHEDULED IN
OUR IN OUR BUDGET AND THE SCOTT
COMPANION LEGISLATION. AS WELL
AS RATE REFORM WHICH WE KNOW IS
THE PRIORITY OF YOURS- MADAM

STRONGLY OPPOSE THEIR
IRRESPONSIBLE BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. NEW HAMPSHIRE
SHOWING NO FURTHER LINED CUTE
IN OPPOSITION. THANK YOU MR
MODERATOR ART WE'RE GOING TO
BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
SENATOR PAM. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH MADAM CHAIR AND- FIRST VIA.
FREESHEET THE OUTFITTERS-
TAKING THE AMENDMENTS PROPOSED
BY THE COMMITTEE- I THINK IT'S
LIKE A QUESTION IS THAT- YOU
KNOW WITH HER HEARING FROM THE
OPPOSITION THAT- WHAT MAKES
DELIVERY SYSTEM I'M NOT SURE I
SEE IN THIS BILL HOW THIS
PREVENTS THAT IT'S NOT
MANDATORY RIGHT- BUT PERHAPS
YOU CAN CLARIFY THAT- BUT I
GUESS THE OTHER ISSUE IS ALSO-
YOU KNOW WE TALK EVERYTHING
ABOUT THE SYSTEM SO THAT IT
MAKES DELIVERY AND SO FORTH AND
WE HEARD EVEN SOME OF THE-
PROPONENTS TALK ABOUT- WELL
WITH FINANCING SO. I KNOW THAT
YOU ALSO HAVE TO THE CHAIR THE
EDUCATION SUB COMMITTEE FOR
BUDGET AND SIMPLY CAN YOU TO
SPEAK TO ME ABOUT- HOW THIS
FITS INTO THE OTHER PROPOSALS
IN THE BUDGET- IN TERMS OF THE
C. E. AND- ALSO- HOW DOES THIS
THE THAT AND PERHAPS ADDRESS
OPPONENTS CONCERNS ABOUT- MAKES
DELIVERY SYSTEM FOR QUITE WAY
THEY'D BE CONCERNED OF WHAT
YOUR SPOTS THAT ON WHAT WHAT A
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT WHEN.
LEAST FROM I UNDERSTAND THIS
BILL DOESN'T MANDATE SOMEONE
DAVID STILL HAVE A CHOICE RIGHT.
SO PERHAPS YOU CAN ADDRESS
THOSE POINTS. THANK YOU I THINKTHOSE ARE THE KEY IS. AND WE'RE
IN THE MIDDLE OF THE OF THE
BUDGET PROCESS AND SO WE'RE
HEARINGS TODAY AND HOPEFULLY
WE'LL WRAP THIS UP AND HAVE A
TRAILER BILL HEARN IN THE
COMING DAYS BUT WE'RE HERE
TODAY. SO FIRST ON THE POLICY
ISSUES. FOR CHANGES HEART
CHANGING THE TRADITIONAL ORDER
OF THINGS IS COMPLICATED A LOT
OF THIS IS BUILT UPON TRUST.
RIGHT THIS IS A PACKAGE OF
THINK SO IF AB TWENTY TWO WAS
JUST SOLO. WE PROBABLY HAVE
SOME CHALLENGES THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA WITH YOU SEE HI I
PACKED I READILY ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT. BUT BY THE FACT THAT
WE'RE DRAMATICALLY INCREASING
SLOTS BY. YOU KNOW THIS AND
CHILD CARE AND PRESCHOOL SLOTS
ABOUT FIVE HUNDRED THOUSAND
NEW. PUBLICLY FUNDED SLOTS. AND
THE RATE IT BOB STRUCTURE.
BECAUSE THE CURRENT SYSTEM AS
WELL AS GIVES COMMITTEE IS.
HEARD BEFORE ANOTHER BILLS. IT
THAT THE PROGRAMS AREN'T
FINANCIALLY VIABLE- THE WORK
FIRST IT DOES NOT ARE NOT PAID
LIVING WAGES SO. THAT WE THINK
THIS IS PART OF AN OVERALL
PACKAGE- GETS THEBUDGET A
SECOND. BUT AS FAR AS NEXT
DELIVERY YOU KNOW WE THINK IT'S
STILL THERE IS THAT AS YOU SAID
IF AND IF A CHILD A FAMILY. IS
INCOME ELIGIBLE TODAY. THEY CAN
SEE WHAT THIS DO THEY CAN STILL
DO TO. A CENTER BASED PROGRAM
AS A FOIL THEY GONNA FAMILY
CHILD CARE HOME THEY CAN THAT
THEY CAN CURRENTLY DO THAT AND
WE'VE WE'RE CLARIFYING THAT. IN
THE BILL TO MAKE SURE THAT'S
THE CASE. FURTHER THAT WE HAVE
NEXT DELIVERY FOR ZERO THREE
THREE SEVEN AND THIS. BY THE
FACT THAT WE ALL OF US IN A
MORE KIDS IN THE ALLEY EIGHT
SYSTEM THROUGH STATE THIRTY
THREE T. K. THERE'S ABOUT A
HUNDRED THOUSAND CURRENT KIDS
IN STATE PRESCHOOL SYSTEM. THAT
WE CAN MOVE THOSE TO SERVE
THREE THREE THREE SO THAT IS A
MIX DELIVERY SYSTEM. PLUS
FURTHER THROUGH THE BUDGET AND
THE COMPANION BILL SB FIFTY.
THERE'S GOING TO BE WRAPPED
AROUND THESE PROVIDERS CANCER
OF THOSE FOUR YEAR OLDS THAT
ARE ANTI K. SO WE THINK THERE
ARE MULTIPLE. WAYS TO ADDRESS
THAT ISSUE AS FAR AS- THE
BUDGET. WITH THE WEEK WE VOTED
ON THE BUDGET AS YOU KNOW A
COUPLE DAYS AGO AND WE DID HAVE
MONEY IN THEIR- TAX IRONICALLY
TO PAY FOR RATE INCREASES BUT
NOT FOR TEA CAKE IS TK'S AND-
OUT YEAR. EXPENDITURE THIS JUST
THE START WE WERE JUST
AUTHORIZE IT. BUT THIS LOOMING
TRAILER BILL WHICH WERE STILL
NEGOTIATING THE SPEAKER IN THE
PROTON. THIS IS OUR TOP
PRIORITY. THERE ARE YOU KNOW
ARE MESSING WITH THE GOVERNOR
AS WE SPEAK- IT WILL HAVE IN
THERE. THE RAY. AND WHICH WE
CURRENTLY FIND OBJECT TO
INCREASE THAT THE EIGHTY EIGHTY
EIGHT PERCENTILE AND DRAMATIC
OVER A BILLION DOLLARS IN RATE
INCREASES. AND WE HAVE. OVER
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND NEW. CHILD
CARE AND STATE PRESCHOOL SLOTS
SO. WE HAVE THESE COMPONENTS IN
THERE. AND THE YOU KNOW I THINK
BY THE TIME THIS BILL IS HEARD
APPROPRIATIONS EARLIER IN THE
SUMMER. SO I'LL BE A RESULT BUT
A LOT OF THIS IS BASED UPON
TRUST AND LASTLY. A BIG PART OF
THE BILL AND WE'RE IS WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THIS ONE YEAR OF
IMPLEMENTATION TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE- CAN ADDRESS THESE
ISSUES AND MAKE WE CAN BE. A
RISING BUT FOR EVERYBODY
BECAUSE I THINK THE BIGGEST
THING IS WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
INVESTING FIVE BILLION DOLLARS
FOR LITTLE SKITS IN CALIFORNIA.
WITH PRIOR GOVERNORS THIS
WASN'T AN OPPORTUNITY. SO THE
FACT THAT WE'RE- TALKING ABOUT
HOW WE CAN DO. A MASSIVE
INVESTMENT AND RE HAULING ARE
YOU SEE PROGRAM. IS I THINK
HALF THE BATTLE THIS IS A PIECE
OF THE PUZZLE- THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR THAT- ANSWER AND I
WOULD ALSO BIG NOTE DIE
UNDERSTAND THIS BILL IF IT
PASSES OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE
WILL. THEN GO TO HUMAN SERVICES
FOR FURTHER VETTING- AS WELL SO.
OKAY THANK YOU JIM SO VERY MUCH.
THE CENTER PAN OTHER QUESTION
COM CONCERNS. OKAY WELL I HAVE
A COUPLE ARM COMMENTS- CENTER
TO SUMMER MCCARTY I DO WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR TAKING ALL OF THE
ASSEMBLY ARE ALL OF THE ALL OUR
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL BUT I DO
HAVE VERY SERIOUS CONCERNS THAT
WE'RE PUTTING THE CART BEFORE
THE HORSE IF WE DO NOT DO RATE
REFORM WHICH I CONTINUE TO BE
APPALLED THAT IT WAS NOT IN THE
BUDGET AFTER THESE ESSENTIAL
WORKERS WERE OPEN. THE ENTIRE
TIME DURING THE PANDEMIC CARING
FOR OUR WORK MOST VULNERABLE
PEOPLE WHICH ARE OUR CHILDREN
IT WAS NOT IN THE BUDGET WE ARE
WORKING ON IT. BUT IT.
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
SHOULD BE THE LAST THING WE'RE
WORKING ON GREAT REFORM IS THE
FIRST THING WE SHOULD BE
WORKING ON BECAUSE THAT COVERS
MOST OF OUR CHILDREN BACK IT'S
WORKING MOMS BACK TO WORK. WE
KNOW THAT WE LOST THIRTY SEVEN
HUNDRED CHILD CARE CENTERS
DURING THE PANDEMIC. AND THEY
MAY OR MAY NOT BE COMING BACK
IF WE DON'T DO RATE REFORM YES
I AGREE WITH YOU SOME REFORM
HAS BEEN DONE BUT THAT'S FOR
THE- WORKERS WHO ARE ORGANIZED
THAT ONLY COVERS 20% OF CHILD
CARE PROVIDERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. SLOTS MY NUMBERS
ARE A LITTLE DIFFERENT THAN
YOURS I THINK FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND I THINK YOU'RE
CONFLATING THAT WITH. THE T. K.
SLOTS TRUE FOUGHT. OR THE
FOURTH OR FOURTH GRADER FOR
CHILD CARE THERE ARE A HUNDRED
TWENTY THOUSAND IN THE BUDGET
MOVING TO TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
OVER THREE YEARS. AND JUST TO
PUT THAT IN PERSPECTIVE FOR
PEOPLE BECAUSE I AT THAT SOUNDS
LIKE A LOT BUT JUST IN SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY AND L. A.
COUNTY THERE IS A NEED OF A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND
SLOTS. SO WE KNOW THAT OVER
THREE YEARS OF TWO HUNDRED
SEVEN THOUSAND SLOTS. WILL NOT
BE ENOUGH TO MEET THE NEEDS OF
OUR CHILDREN AND OF WORKING
PARENTS. SO I JUST REALLY HOPE
THAT WE CAN GET TO A PLACE
WHERE WE ARE NOT PRIORITIZING
SOMETHING THAT DOESN'T HELP OUR
YOUNGEST LEARNERS. I THINK BACK
WHEN MY GIRLS WERE LITTLE I.
WENT BACK TO WORK WHEN THEY
WERE TWO YEARS OLD.
TRANSITIONAL WILL NOT HELP ME I
WOULD HAVE STAY HOME FOR TWO
MORE YEARS. WAITING FOR
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN IF
THERE WAS NOT HEALTH CARE
AVAILABLE TO ME AND MY
CHILDREN. SO LIKE I SAID I
APPRECIATE YOU TAKING THE
AMENDMENTS. WE WILL I WILL BE
SUPPORTING THE BILL TODAY. BUT
I CERTAINLY HOPE THAT WE CAN
GET TO A POINT IN THIS BUDGET
WHERE WE ARE TAKING CARE OF THE
WOMEN. THAT TOOK CARE OF OUR
CHILDREN DURING THE PANDEMIC.
SO WITH THAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSE ASSEMBLY MEMBER MCCARTY.
AT THANK YOU FOR THE- FOR THE
DIALOGUE THIS IS AN IMPORTANT
ISSUE THAT I KNOW WE HAVE.
BIPARTISAN AND STRONG INTEREST
IN MAKING SURE WE DO IT RIGHT
AND I APPRECIATE THAT THAT BACK
AND FORTH AND- I'M COMMITTED.
JUST LIKE YOU TO MAKING SURE
THIS IS A WIN WIN WIN FOR THE
KIDS AND FAMILIES OF CALIFORNIA
ASKEY RIVAL. THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER MEMBERS TO WE HAVE A
MOTION ON THE BILL. THANK YOU
SENATOR PAN HAS MOVED THE BILL.
THE TWENTY TWO THE MOTION IS TO
PASS AS AMENDED BUT FIRST AMEND
AND RE REFER TO THE COMMITTEE
ON HUMAN SERVICES. SENATOR

FOR ABSENT MEMBERS THANK YOU
AND MISTER MCCARTY. WE ARE NOW
MOVING ON TO OUR NEXT BILL AND
THAT IS BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MEDINA A. B. THREE EIGHTY
EIGHT. WE GET IT ALL CLEANED UP
PLEASE PROCEED- AND. AND. AND
WELCOME. WELCOME THANK YOU. I
AM PLEASED TO PRESENT A. B.
THREE EIGHTY EIGHT WHICH IS A
MEASURE THAT WILL ENSURE NON
ADMINISTRATIVE EDUCATION
EMPLOYEES SERVING IN POSITIONS
REQUIRING CERTIFICATION WILL
BECOME PERMANENT EMPLOYEES
FOLLOWING A PROBATIONARY PERIOD.
TODAY EXPERIENCE EDUCATORS IN
SMALLER SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE
BEING DISMISSED. AND TERMINATED
FOR ARBITRATING ARBITRARY
REASONS WITHOUT WARNING. UNDER
CURRENT LAW ONLY CERTIFICATED
EMPLOYEES AND TEACHING
POSITIONS AT COUNTY OFFICES OF
EDUCATION WITH AN AVERAGE DAILY
ATTENDANCE OF MORE THAN TWO
HUNDRED AND FIFTY PUPILS CAN
ACHIEVE PERMANENT STATUS AFTER
PROBATIONARY PERIOD. THIS MEANS
THAT CERTIFICATED EMPLOYEES IN
NON TEACHING POSITIONS DO NOT
HAVE THE RIGHT TO ATTAIN
PERMANENT STATUS. THIS POLICY
AFFECTS GROUPS OF CERTIFICATED
EMPLOYEES SUCH AS SCHOOL NURSES
ENGLISH LANGUAGE EDUCATORS
FOSTER YOUTH COUNSELORS AND
SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHERS
WORKING WITH SEVERELY DISABLED
STUDENTS AMONG OTHERS. IN THE
CASE OF A DISMISSAL PERMANENT
EMPLOYEE STATUS WOULD ALLOW
EMPLOYEES TO REQUEST A HEARING
BEFORE A COMMISSION ON
PROFESSIONAL COMPETENCE TO
DECIDE WHETHER THIS. THIS
DISMISSAL WAS APPROPRIATE
FURTHER A PERMANENT EMPLOYEE
HAS A RIGHT TO REQUEST A
HEARING DURING A REDUCTION IN
FORCE. UNFORTUNATELY SEVERAL
CLASSES OF EMPLOYEES HAVE BEEN
INAPPROPRIATE INAPPROPRIATELY
DENIED PERMANENT STATUS BASED
ON THE NEED TO CREATE FISCAL
SOLVENCY. OR IN ANTICIPATION
THAT THE NEEDS FOR SERVICES IN
THE FUTURE ARE IN SECURE. THIS
LACK OF PERMANENT STATUS IS
LEAD TO DISCRIMINATION
RETALIATION AND FAVORITISM
WITHIN OUR SMALLER SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THIS BILL WILL REMEDY
THE SITUATION TREATING ALL
CERTIFICATED EDUCATION
EMPLOYEES WITH DIGNITY RESPECT
AND THE PROFESSIONALISM THAT
THEY DESERVE. WITNESSES TODAY
ARE TWO ADULT EDUCATION
TEACHERS ELIZABETH KITCHEN AND
MATTHEW COKE. NEW THANK YOU
VERY MUCH ASSEMBLYMEMBER
ALRIGHT WE'LL GO TO YOUR LEAD
SUPPORT ON THIS KITCHEN AND MR
COGAN YOU EACH HAVE TWO MINUTES
MISS KITTIN PLEASE PROCEED WHEN
YOU'RE READY. GOOD MORNING
MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS MY NAME
IS ELIZABETH CATCHING AND I
TEACH ENGLISH AS A SECOND
LANGUAGE FOR EVANS ADULT SCHOOL
I HAVE BEEN TEACHING ESL SINCE
NINETEEN NINETY NINE. IN TWO
THOUSAND TWELVE AND AGAIN IN
TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN I WAS LAID
OFF NOT BECAUSE OF MY
PERFORMANCE BUT BECAUSE OF
WORRIES ABOUT THE BUDGET. THEN
SOMEHOW MONEY WAS FOUND AND I
WAS RE HIRED. ABOUT ONE THIRD
OF US IN ADULT EDUCATION ARE
PERPETUALLY TEMPORARY.
REGARDLESS OF OUR PERFORMANCE
WE HAVE NO PATH TO PERMANENT
STATUS. WE ARE TREATED
DIFFERENTLY FROM ANY OTHER
TEACHERS IN THE STATE OR THE
COUNTRY. SO WHY DO WE PUT UP
WITH IT. MANY OF US HAVE
MASTERS DEGREES AND COULD TEACH
COMMUNITY COLLEGE. BUT WE DO IT
BECAUSE WE BELIEVE IN OUR
STUDENTS AND WE BELIEVE AND
WHAT WE HAVE TO OFFER THEM. IN
NOVEMBER OF TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN A YOUNG MAN IN A
WHEELCHAIR CAME INTO MY LEVEL
FIVE CLASS. HE HAD ALMOST BEEN
KILLED IN A TERRIBLE MOTORCYCLE
ACCIDENT. I SUGGESTED HE ENROLL
IN COMPUTER CLASS AT THE SAME
TIME AS ESL. THE PAST LEVEL
FIVE AND WHEN HE SHOWED UP IN
MY GYM CLASS IN LEVEL SIX IN
SPRING OF TWENTY TWENTY HE TOLD
ME HE WAS TAKING THE NEXT LEVEL
OF COMPUTER CLASS. AND LEARNING
PROGRAMMING. I AM SO PROUD OF
THIS YOUNG MAN. I FEEL HONORED
TO BE HIS TEACHER. BUT I'M ALSO
PROUD OF OUR PROGRAMS THAT
PROVIDE ENGLISH AND AFFORDABLE
JOB TRAINING. WHERE ELSE COULD
HE LEARN SKILLS TO BE ABLE TO
BECOME INDEPENDENT AND SUPPORT
HIMSELF. MANY OF US ARE
TROUBLED AS WE WATCHED THE
GROWING GAP BETWEEN THE VERY
RICH AND THE VERY POOR IN THIS
COUNTRY AND WE FEEL HELPLESS TO
DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AN ADULT
EDUCATION WE ARE DOING
SOMETHING ABOUT IT. FOR
PROVIDING LOW COST
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS TO
IMPROVE THEIR LIFE AND WORK
THEIR WAY OUT OF POVERTY. I
BELIEVE IN MY STUDENTS AND I
BELIEVE IN OUR PROGRAMS. NEAT
ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT MY
EMPLOYER DOES NOT BELIEVE IN ME
DOES NOT VALUE ME AND DOES NOT
GIVE ME JOB SECURITY. THANK YOU
THANK YOU ALL RIGHT MR COGAN
YOUR UP NEXT YOU HAVE A MINUTE
AND A HALF PLEASE PROCEED. GOOD
MORNING COMMITTEE MEMBERS MY

HERE TODAY TO RAISE CONCERNS
ABOUT ASSEMBLY BILL THREE EIGHT
EIGHT AND THE SIGNIFICANT
IMPACT IT WILL HAVE ON OUR- KEY
PROGRAMS SUCH AS TRI VALLEY. I
AM NOT HERE TO A POINT OPPOSE
OUR TEACHERS HAVING ACCESS TO
DUE PROCESS NO WAY OUT PROCESS.
HOWEVER THIS BILL WILL CREATE
HUGE HURDLES THAT WILL PLACE AN
IMPOSSIBLE BURDEN ON EMPLOYERS
THAT WERE FORCED TO IMPLEMENT
LAYOFFS THAT RELIANCE. DORY AS
THE PRIMARY CONSIDERATION.
RATHER THAN SUCCESSFUL
INNOVATIVE AND INDUSTRY
RELEVANT PATHWAYS EACH EACH.
CURRENT STATURE ALLOWED OUR
PEACE TO ADAPT TO THE RCD
PATHWAYS ALWAYS THE CURRENT
RELEVANT TO THE LOCAL ECONOMY.
INDUSTRY CHANGES AFFECT WHAT
COURSES ARE OFFERED OR NOT
OFFERED BASED ON LOCAL
WORKFORCE THE- FOR THIS REASON
MY STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO.
CLASSIFIED JIM VIDEO GAME IN
OUR DESIGN SPORTS MEDICINE AND
CYBER SECURITY. IMPLEMENTING
INTO YOUR SENIORITY BASED
LAYOFFS WOULD FORCE US TO
RETAIN TEACHERS AND PROGRAMS
THAT MAY NOT HAVE LABOR MARKET
DEMAND. OR FOR WHICH THEY DON'T
HAVE THE PROPER EXPERTISE IN
TRAINING BECAUSE OF THE WAY ETT
CREDENTIALS ARE STRUCTURE. AS
AN EXAMPLE A TEACHER IN
DENTISTRY HAS THE EXACT SAME
THING TO CREATE CREDENTIAL AND
HELP FIND. AS A TEACHER TEACHER
SPORTS MEDICINE. BUT IF I NEED
TO IMPLEMENT A LAY OUT THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE ME TO LAY
OUT BASED ON SENIORITY AND NOT
THE COURTS TO HAVE THE GREATER.
INDUSTRY DEMAND BECAUSE THEY
HAVE THE EXACT SAME
CREDENTIALS. ARE- HE'S ALSO DO
NOT HAVE STABLE. DEDICATED
FUNDING WITH THE ELIMINATION OF
CATEGORICAL FUNDING OUR OF PEAS
RELY YEAR TO YEAR ON
COMPETITIVE GRANT. SUCH AS THE
C. T. INCENTIVE GRANT CASE
TWELVE STRONG WORKFORCE GRANT.
BOTH GRANT SUPPLEMENT OUR
FUNDING BUT DO NOT COVER A
FRACTION OF OUR CAR. AND AGAIN
OUR FUNDING IS COMPETITIVE AND
NOT GUARANTEED. OUR REMAINING
FUNDS OPERATE ARE DEPENDENT
YEAR TO YEAR UPON OUR MEMBER
DISTRICTS LOCAL DECISION. NOW
MORE THAN EVER OUR OPD TO
RETAIN THE CURRENT LAW THAT
GOVERNS OUR PROGRAM. FOR THESE
REASONS PLEASE CONSIDER THE
IMPACT EIGHTY THREE EIGHT EIGHT

SMALL A DISTRICTS. AND SO I
UNDERSTAND THAT CHALLENGE LA-
VERY MUCH. THAT AT THE SAME
TIME IF I MAY. UM JUST EXPAND A
LITTLE BIT AND MAYBE WE CAN YOU
KNOW CONTINUE TO DISCUSS- WE
DID HEAR. FROM TEACHERS I WANT
TO THANK THOSE TEACHERS WHO
TOOK THE TIME OUT OF THEIR DAY-
TO SPEAK. ON BEHALF OF THE BILL
IN NOW AND I'M NOT TAKING
ANYTHING AWAY. A MISTER
DARLING. SENATOR FROM WHAT
YOU'RE SAYING AT THE CHALLENGES
TO TOO SMALL. A DISTRICTS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. BUT TO
THE TEACHERS THAT CAME THIS
MORNING- THE TEACHERS LIKE-
ELIZABETH KITCHING MATIC COGAN.
AND THE MANY TEACHERS WE HEARD
FROM. I ALSO WAS A CLASSROOM
TEACHER LET THIRTY FOUR YEARS
IN THE IN THE CLASSROOM. AND
AND YOU KNOW I THINK WE ALL-
FEEL A DEBT OF GRATITUDE TO THE
TEACHERS IN THIS PAST YEAR- WHO
WHO WERE IN THE CLASSROOM OR
WERE TEACHING AT DISTANCE
LEARNING. AND THE- VERY-
CHALLENGING JOB THAT THEY DID
AND EDUCATING OUR CHILDREN- AND
WE SAY OFTEN THAT THAT THAT WE
RESPECT TEACHERS YOU KNOW WE
OFTEN SAY- AND THEN WE SAY THAT
WE RESPECT TEACHERS AND THE JOB
THAT THEY DO WE HEARD FROM
ADULT EDUCATION TEACHERS ESL
TEACHERS ENGLISH AS A SECOND
LANGUAGE TEACHERS I HAPPEN TO
HAVE TAUGHT BOTH THOSE
SUBJECTS. AND I CAN TELL YOU
THAT A TEACHER WHO GOES AND
GOES TO- TEACH ADULTS TEACH
ENGLISH AS A SECOND LANGUAGE
WORKING WITH WORKING ADULTS
WHO'VE WORKED THE WHOLE DAY AND
THEN COME BACK- AFTER HAVING
WORKED THE WHOLE DAY TO TRY TO
IMPROVE AND LEARN ENGLISH
LANGUAGE NONE OF THOSE TEACHERS
LIKE MYSELF WE'RE DOING THAT.
FOR THE MONEY THAT THEY WERE
PAID. THE AND IF WE GO BACK A
FEW YEARS WHEN WE WERE IN LOW
BUDGET- TIMES. AND ALL TEACHERS
ARE MANY TEACHERS WERE GETTING
WHAT THEY CALLED PINK SLIPS.
BECAUSE THEY WERE IN DANGER OF
BEING LAID OFF. AND THEY WERE
YOU KNOW HUNDREDS AND THOUSANDS
OF TEACHERS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE WHO WERE GIVEN THOSE PINK
SLIPS. ALONE AROUND THE
TEACHERS FELT DURING THOSE
YEARS BUT HERE YOU HAVE A GROUP
OF TEACHERS WHO ARE. EVERY YEAR
IN THAT SAME SITUATION WE HEARD
FROM THOSE TEACHERS WHO WHO MAY
HAVE BEEN TEACHING. YOU KNOW.
TEN YEARS FOURTEEN YEARS TWENTY
YEARS AND NEVER GET PERMANENT
STATUS SO I DON'T WANT TO.
DIMINISH YOUR CONCERN CENTER
DOLLY. ON SMALLER DISTRICTS BUT
AT THE SAME TIME I DO THINK
THAT IT IS- AND- YOU KNOW I'M
JUST A FULL JUSTIFIABLE
SITUATION THAT WE'RE IN WHERE
WE ALLOW. TEACHERS TO TEACH
WRAPS THE ROLE WORKING LIVES
AND BECAUSE OF THE IF THE-
WHERE THEY ARE TEACHING AND
WHAT SUBJECT THEY ARE TEACHING
THEY NEVER GET PERMANENT STATUS
SO THAT THAT IS WHY I HAVE
INTRODUCED THIS BILL. TO I
APPRECIATE THAT AND I
APPRECIATE THE FACT THAT THERE
ARE OBVIOUSLY WE HEARD
TESTIMONY FROM THE TEACHERS
THAT YOU TALK ABOUT. BUT THE
ADMINISTRATION STILL HAS TO RUN
THE SCHOOL AND START TO PROVIDE
THE CLASSES IN THE IN THE
ABILITY BILL TO AND WHEN YOU
HAVE A VERY SMALL. RULE SCHOOL
DISTRICT IT HAS ALL THESE
MANDATES THAT THEY HAVE TO
MEET. THERE IS NO FLEXIBILITY
AT SOME POINT THERE'S NO THIS
IS TAKING AWAY THE ABILITY HAVE
FLEXIBILITY I'M NOT DISCOUNTING
THAT. LARGE SCHOOLS SCHOOLS CAN
FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO THAT
BECAUSE THEY HAVE MORE STUDENTS
MORE ADA BUT WHEN YOU'RE- IT.
REPRESENTING UP A WHOLE BUNCH
OF VERY SMALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
THAT ARE TRYING TO PROVIDE. THE
STUDENTS WITH A BROAD. AMOUNT
OF MANDATES IT'S THIS THIS BILL
IS GOING TO MAKE IT EVEN MORE
DIFFICULT FOR THEM TO BE ABLE
TO PROVIDE THAT AND THAT'S THAT
THAT'S THAT'S WHY THERE IS. A
CAR ABOUT- THERE IS HOPE.
BILITY TO HAVE THIS. TWO
HUNDRED FIFTY OR LESS NOT IN
THAT SO THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY
PROVIDE THE SERVICES THAT YOU
NEED WITHIN THE BUDGET THAT
THEY ARE. TRYING TO BALANCE AT
THE SAME TIME. AND SO I DON'T
BELIEVE THAT THIS IS GOING TO
HELP THE SITUATION I THINK IT'S
GONNA MAKE IT WORSE WHEN THEY
HAVE TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT
HOW THEY'RE GOING TO PROVIDE
THOSE COURSES. MORE THOSE
STUDENTS WITH THE NEEDS THAT
THEY HAVE WHEN THEY'RE LOCKING
WHEN WE'RE LOCKING THEM INTO.
NEP THAT THEY THEN HAVE TO TRY
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO BALANCE
AND THAT'S THAT'S THE PART
THAT. IS THE FRUSTRATION FOR ME
ON MANY ISSUES IN GOVERNMENT IS
THAT WE SEE THAT. WE JUST
BLANKET LEE COVER AND WE DON'T
DIG INTO THE FACT THAT THERE'S
A ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING TO
PROVIDE THE ALL THESE MANDATES
AND IT MAKES IT VERY DIFFICULT
ON SEVERAL LEVELS. ESPECIALLY
FOR SCHOOLS WHERE THEY'RE AT A
IS VERY LOW AND THEY DON'T HAVE
AND THE AMOUNT OF RESOURCES TO
MEET. THE HI TERRY THAT THEY
HAVE TO MEET SO FOR I'M NOT
GONNA BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY I'M HOPEFUL. THAT
THERE IS SOME SOLUTION THAT
WOULD ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHERE
YOU HAVE TWENTY FIVE YEARS I
DID NOT HEAR THOSE PEOPLE
COMING FROM OUR DISTRICT I
HEARD IT COMING FROM VRY
POPULATED AREAS. THAT HAVE A
LOT OF STUDENTS IN THOSE AREAS
SO FOR THE VERY EXTREME RULE.
IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT.
SOMETIMES DON'T EVEN HAVE THE-
FOLKS THAT. ARE EDUCATED TO BE
EVEN WHICH TEACHES CLASSES
TRYING TO WORK THROUGH THOSE
PROCESSES SO FOR THOSE REASONS
I WON'T BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY I APPRECIATE SEEING
YOU AND I AM GOING TO VOTE FOR
SOME OF YOUR OTHER BILLS TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR DOLLY AND-
MADAM CHAIR IF I MIGHT YES- I
WOULD- PLEDGE. MOVING THIS BILL
FORWARD WE MAY HAVE MORE
DISCUSSION. ON THE EFFECTS OF
SMALL DISTRICTS- YOU YOU HAVE
MY WORD ON THAT WE CAN WE CAN
CONTINUE TO DISCUSS THAT. THANK
ANY CENTER PAM. THANK YOU AND-
SUMMER MEDINA I APPRECIATE YOU
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD I
DID NOTE THAT- YOU KNOWHE'LL
TALK ABOUT RETENTION AND- OF
COURSE THIS BILL THIS. DRESS IS
A RETENTION WHICH IS TRYING TO
HOW DO YOU RETAIN HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHERS BUT THERE'S ONE ISSUE
THAT'S BROUGHT BY OPPOSITION IS
HOPING THAT YOU COULD PERHAPS
ADDRESS. SO REALLY SOME OF THE
COURSES LIKE FEELS THE LEARNING
IT WAS NOTED THAT- THEY NEEDED
TO TRY TO MEET THE DEMAND- SO
THOSE I THINK THE TESTIMONY.
WAS ABOUT WELL WHAT HAPPENS IF
I HAVE A- NO WAY OUT ONE COURSE
THAT FOR INTO SKI AND I WITH
THE EXAM SORTS WORDS MATTER.
VERSE ABOUT THE THING ANY BUT
THE AND DAY AND SO THEY SAID
PROBLEM WOULD BE IF WE DECIDED
SOLELY BY SENIORITY. WE MAY NOT
NECESSARILY BE ABLE TO RETAIN
THE PERSON TO ACTUALLY TO TEACH
THE- SUBJECT MATTER THAT WAS
MORE IN DEMAND BECAUSE THE
VARIETY OF DIFFERENT SUBJECT
MATTER SO IT'S NOT LIKE IT'S A
SIX CURRICULUM. BUT THAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO. MEET THE NEEDS OF
ADULT LEARNERS OTHER TYPES OF
THINGS SO. HE PERHAPS JUST
SPEAK TO- SO I ACTUALLY AGREE
THAT WE SHOULD TRY TO TRY TO
GET. THESE TEACHERS OFF
PROBATION AND ONTO THEIR
PERMANENT STATUS. BUT CAN YOU
JUST SPEAK TO THE- HOW SCHOOL
DISTRICTS- AT OUR- MARK COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION WHATEVER TO
RUNNING THESE ROGRAMS
PARTICULARLY THESE ADULT
EDUCATION PROGRAMS- HOW THIS
WOULD WORK IN TERMS OF-
REDRESSING. THAT PARTICULAR
ISSUE- SO BE ABLE TO RETAIN THE
PEOPLE THAT WOULD ACTUALLY OF
SKILL SETS TO TEACH OUR- THE TO
SUBJECT MATTERS. THE KNOWLEDGE
BASE FOR THE SUBJECT MATTER SO
THAT THEY WOULD NEED. MURSI'S
DISHES AROUND SENIORITY LET.
THANK YOU- CENTER PAN FOR THE
QUESTION. AND- I WAS A SCHOOL
MEMBER KATE. SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBER- COMMUNITY COLLEGE TRUST.
AND WELL I UNDER THE CHALLENGE.
BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT SOMETIMES
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ROOM- ALSO-
YOU KNOW MAKE THE ARGUMENT-
THAT WE CAN DO SOMETHING WHAT
PERTAINS TO TEACHERS BECAUSE OF
X. Y. AND Z. ROOM AND SO- EVEN
AS AS SENATOR DOLLY SAID YOU
KNOW CERTAINLY- I WOULD EXPECT.
AND I THINK WE HEARD FROM- FROM
MATTHEW KOGAN THAT THAT I DON'T
KNOW THAT THIS BILL WOULD YOU
KNOW NOT ALLOW A TEACHER TO BE
RELEASED IF- THEIR COURSE WAS
NOT GOING TO BE BE OFFERED- AND
DOES THAT JUSTIFY- NOT GIVING A
PERMANENT STATUS TO ALL THE
TEACHERS KNEW SO I GUESS I'D
SAY IS THAT IT'S AGAIN I
SUPPORT THE IDEA THAT WE SHOULD
GET READY JUST PROCESS. IT AND
I THINK IT'S- AND SO I ALSO PUT
THE BILL TO BUT- UPPER- YOUR
YOUR OFFICE COULD HELP CLARIFY.
HOW SCHOOL. DISTRICT ARE
SOPHISTICATION WOULD RESOLVE
THE ISSUE IN TERMS OF SUBJECT
MATTER EXPERTISE AND- GIVEN
THAT AND- AND BE SURE THAT YOU
HAVE THE STAFF THAT WOULD HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO TEACH THOSE
SUBJECTS- IN IN THE EVENT THAT
YOU HAVE. UNFORTUNATELY
HOPEFULLY WE NEVER HAVE TO DO
THAT WE KNOW THAT FORTY DOES
HAPPEN THAT YOU NEED TO HAVE A
REDUCTION IN YOUR- WORK FOR SO-
SO THE PROVISION HONORED ALL OF
THAT THANK YOU. LOW
ARTIFICIALLY DUNCAN I WAS THE
ONE SPOKE TO THE- SUPPORT THAT
EXAMPLE IF YOU WOULD LIKE ME TO
ANSWER THAT I COULD DO THAT FOR
YOU. WELL I DID DIRECT THE
QUESTION TO THE AUTHOR OF THE
BILL BUT I. AM ACTUALLY I THINK
I MIGHT BE ABLE TO HELP A
LITTLE BIT FROM TO YOUR POINT
SENATE ALL THE ABOUT THE MONEY-
THIS YEAR IN THIS BUDGET LCF
THE FUNDING IS GOING IS.
THROUGH THE ROOF SO THERE WILL
BE MORE MONEY. EVERY DISTRICT
BIG OR SMALL SO I THINK THAT
GOES TO PART OF YOUR ISSUE HOPE
MAYBE THAT HELPS A LITTLE BIT.
AND TO YOUR POINT- CENTER PAN
CURRENT LAW ALREADY ALLOWS. FOR
LAYOFFS BASED ON OTHER THINGS
OTHER THAN SENIORITY SUCH AS
PROGRAMMATIC NEEDS SO SENIORITY
CERTAINLY COULD BE CONSIDERED
BUT IT IS NOT THE SOLE FACTOR
IN DETERMINING WHETHER SOMEONE
SHOULD BE LAID OFF I HOPE MAYBE
THAT HELPS BOTH OF YOU A LITTLE
BIT. NINE NINE MAY THOUGH YES
THEY DO YEARS WHEN WE DON'T
HAVE THE RESOURCES THIS. WILL
STILL BE IN EFFECT THAT'S
THAT'S MY- THAT IS CORRECT BUT
YOU COMPLAIN. WHEN YOU MONEY TO
FOR. ALL THE LONG BUT IF. WHEN
YOU WHEN YOU DO WHEN YOU HAVE A
BUDGET CRUNCH LOOK AT THIS YEAR.
MORE MONEY THAN EVER BUT- A FEW
YEARS NOW WILL BE THAT
SITUATION THEY'LL BE STUCK WITH
THIS. LAW NOT. BEING FLEXIBLE.
AND I WOULD I WOULD ARGUE
NGUYEN. IF WE HAVE THE MONEY WE
DON'T DO IT WE DON'T HAVE THE
MONEY WE DON'T DO IT WHEN IS
THE RIGHT TIME TO DO IT SELF
THAT'S JUST MY TWO CENTS. BUT
SENATOR OAKS USE ME ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. YES OF.
SENATOR CHAU BUG. GOOD MORNING.
A SIMILAR MEDINA GLAD TO SEE
YOU HERE CANADA. I DID HAVE A
QUESTION- WE DID HAVE A LOT OF
AT. THE BACK AND THEN INPUT
FROM CONCERNS FROM MY DISTRICT
FROM DISTRICT TWENTY THREE. AND
I NEEDED TO ASK YOU FIRST OF
ALL. AS A FORMER ENGLISH
LANGUAGE LEARNER. TEACHER I
ABSOLUTELY VALUE OUR TEACHERS
WHO ARE. IN THE FIELD- I ALSO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE DO HAVE AB
IT'S COOL BOARD MEMBER AS WELL
AS HE WE HAVE BE SURE QUITE A
BIT AND IN COMMON IN THAT
RESPECT- I ALSO. FROM THE
TEACHER'S PERSPECTIVE THEY
ALWAYS WANNA HE WANTS SECURITY
THAT'S YOU KNOW WE WILL
GRAVITATE TOWARD TOWARD THAT
SHE MINIATURE. ON THE SCHOOL
BOARD PERSPECTIVE WE HAVE TO
MANAGE WE HAVE TO JUST AS A
BUSINESS WE HAVE TO BE-
REPAIRED. WE HAVE TO BE
FISCALLY RESPONSIBLE WE HAVE TO
WE ACKNOWLEDGE AND WE KNOW THAT
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT IS ONLY. AS
SUCCESSFUL AS- HAS BEEN LOOK
FOR PROVIDE THE- ENVIRONMENT
WHERE WE PROVIDE THE- THE
RESOURCES AS WELL AS BE ABLE TO
RETAIN AND- KEEP OUR RETAIN AND
HIRE. ARE THE BEST QUALIFIED
TEACHERS. SO THAT IS A BENEFIT
TO OUR COMMUNITY TO OUR
CHILDREN- AND SO FORTH SO
THAT'S. THE CONTEXT IN WHICH
I'M WORKING WITH- I'M NOT A- I
KNOW TO ASK THE- IT'S MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT AS OF MARCH
THERE HAVEN'T BEEN ANY OTHER
AMENDMENTS THAT HAVE BEEN TAKEN
SO. I'M JUST KIND OF CURIOUS AS
IF YOU HAVE BEEN ABLE TO
ADDRESS ANY OF THE CONCERNS OF
THE LOCAL DISTRICTS HAVE- THAT
ADDRESSED. AND MOST IMPORTANT
LET'S SEE THE LAST SET OF
AMENDMENTS- TO. JUST TRYING TO
SEE WHETHER OR NOT YOU HAVE
ADDRESSED ANY OTHER CONCERNS-
LOCALLY TO FOR THIS LOCAL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS BECAUSE AB. AS
IS IT'S WRITTEN RIGHT NOW IT
WOULD BE DEVASTATING FOR MY FOR
MY DISTRICT- I THINK WE ARE
HEARING. LIVE KIND OF COMPETING
CONCERNS AND THAT. AT THE END
OF THE DAY. YOU KNOW WE VOTE.
AND WHICH WE THINK ARE THE THEM
THE MAYBE PERHAPS THE MOST
IMPORTANT COMPETING CONCERNS.
AS FAR AS THE AMENDMENTS YOUR
RIGHTS ARE B- THERE HAVEN'T
BEEN ANY TAKEN- BUT AS I SAID
TO CENTER DOLLY. I WOULD BE
HAPPY AS THE BILL MOVES FORWARD
TO CONTINUE THE DIALOGUE
CONTINUES TO ADDRESS CONCERNS-
BUT- AS AS CHAIR POINTS OUT WE
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO. I
THINK THE RIGHT THING FOR
TEACHERS AND AT AND WITH THAT
I. WOULD ASK LAW FOR THEIR AYE

PROBATIONARY EMPLOYEES- AND IN
THE SENSE THAT THERE ARE FOR
ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND AS FOR
ALL TEACHERS YES REALLY IS
THERE ANYTHING THE BILL THAT
EXTENDS THE RETIREMENT. DATES

SUBJECT OF THIS BILL OR WOULD
PRECLUDE- DISTRICTS INCLUDING
RURAL DISTRICTS FROM USING
GOLDEN HANDSHAKE OR OTHER TOOLS

ANY DATA THAT RURAL DISTRICTS
ARE ANY DISTRICTS HAVE GIVEN ME
THAT INDICATE THAT- THOSE TOOLS
THAT YOU JUST RESPONDED TO THAT

WHERE RURAL SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY EMPLOYEES

TIME THEY'RE ALL GOING TO BE
TENDERED- NONE OF WHICH ARE
PROVISIONALLY NONE OF WHICH ARE
TEMPORARY. IN NONE OF WHICH

ONE FIVE WOULD HELP ALLEVIATE
THE SCHOOL NURSE SHORTAGE IN
CALIFORNIA BY CLARIFYING
EXISTING LAW- BY STATING THAT
ELEAZAR. ARE AUTHORIZED TO
OFFER IN HOUSE SCHOOL NURSE
CREDENTIALING PROGRAMS TO
QUALIFIED CANDIDATES. THE
COVERT NINETEEN PANDEMIC
HIGHLIGHTED THE CRITICAL ROLE
NURSES PLAY IN SAFEGUARDING THE
HEALTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES
UNFORTUNATELY A MAJORITY OF
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL CHILDREN
ATTENDED SCHOOL WITHOUT A NURSE
PRESENT. CALIFORNIA HAS ONE OF
THE WORST NURSE TO STUDENT
RATIOS IN THE COUNTRY WITH
TWENTY FOUR HUNDRED STUDENTS
FOR EVERY SCHOOL NURSE. THE
SCHOOL NURSE SHORTAGE IS
PARTICULARLY CONCERNING AS
CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS AMONG
STUDENTS SUCH AS CHILDHOOD
OBESITY AND ASTHMA CONTINUE TO
RISE WITHOUT SCHOOL NURSES NON
MEDICAL SCHOOL STAFF MUST
PROVIDE CRITICAL HEALTH
SERVICES. THAT STUDENTS NEED
INCLUDING ADMINISTERING INSULIN
MONITORING SIGNIFICANT
ALLERGIES AND ASSISTING
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
UNDER CURRENT LAW A CANDIDATE
WHO WANTS TO BECOME A SCHOOL
NURSE MUST HOLD A BACHELOR'S
DEGREE- AND A NURSING LICENSE
IN ADDITION SCHOOL NURSE
CANDIDATES MUST COMPLETE AN
ADDITIONAL YEAR OF COURSE WORK.
TO RECEIVE A CLEAR SCHOOL NURSE
SERVICES CREDENTIAL HOWEVER
ONLY FOR UNIVERSITIES IN THE
ENTIRE STATE CURRENTLY OFFER
PROGRAMS THAT CAN GRANT A CLEAR

CREDENTIAL AB EIGHT EIGHT ONE
FIVE CREATES AN ADDITIONAL
PIPELINE FOR SCHOOL NURSE
CANDIDATES TO RECEIVE THIS
CREDENTIAL BY ALLOWING ELEAZAR
TO OFFER IN HOUSE CREDENTIALING
PROGRAMS. THESE ALLEY A
SPONSORED PROGRAMS WOULD HAVE
TO BE APPROVED BY THE
COMMISSION ON TEACHER
CREDENTIALING ADDITIONALLY THIS
BILL WOULD REQUIRE ALLEY A
SPONSORED CREDENTIALING
PROGRAMS TO MEET THE SAME
QUALITY STANDARDS AND RIGOR AS
THOSE EXPECTED OF POST
SECONDARY EDUCATION.
INSTITUTIONS THAT CURRENTLY
CURRENTLY OFFER THESE
CREDENTIALING PROGRAMS AT THIS
TIME I WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT

CREDENTIAL PROGRAMS ISSUE ABOUT
ONE HUNDRED AND FIFTY CLEAR
CREDENTIALS EACH YEAR COMPARED
TO THE OVER FOUR HUNDRED
PRELIMINARY CREDENTIALS ISSUED
BY CTC. THIS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
PRELIMINARY AND CLEAR

STATEWIDE ATTRITION PROBLEM
AMONG NEW SCHOOL NURSES THAT
MANIFESTS ITSELF WITHIN OUR L.
E. AGE. WE SURVEYED OUR ONE
HUNDRED AND NINETY NURSES
CURRENTLY SERVING WITH A
PRELIMINARY CREDENTIAL. ONLY
20% OF THESE NURSES WERE
ENROLLED IN A CLEAR PROGRAM THE
OTHER 80% NOT ENROLLED EXPRESS
AN INTEREST IN CLEARING THEIR
CREDENTIALS IN AN ALLEY A BASE

INCENTIVE TO CLEAR THEIR

FEW YEARS AGO THAT I'M SURE YOU
SAW THE HEADLINES ACROSS THE
NATION READ FRED WAS TAKING-
BIG SWAP THAT WHAT THE OLD
GUARD WAS IN PUBLIC EDUCATION
AND IT WASN'T JUST ABOUT FISCAL
ISSUES IT WAS ABOUT EQUITY FOR
STUDENTS. INCLUDING THEIR
ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE WE SEE
THAT THE PROLIFERATION OF
SCHOOL NURSES ACROSS OUR OUR
STATE. IS A HUGE CONCERN AND IT
GOES WITHOUT SAYING BUT OF
COURSE I'M HERE TO SAY IT IN A
POST PANDEMIC WORLD WE ARE- SO
FOCUSED ON. BEING ABLE TO HAVE
MORE SCHOOLS WITH NURSES ON
SITE. AND ARE GRATEFUL FOR THIS
OUT OF THE BOX- IDEA THAT AS
THE OTHER AND MY COLLEAGUE ON

SUPPLEMENTAL TO THE EXISTING
STRUCTURE OF GETTING.
CREDENTIALED NURSES ON TWO
CAMPUSES WE THINK THAT THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT CAN HELP US
SPEED UP- THE CURRENT SYSTEM
UNDER THE SAME GUARDRAILS OF
QUALITY THAT ARE- YOU IMPOSE
CURRENTLY AND SO WE FIND THAT
THIS WILL HOPEFULLY PROLIFERATE
SCHOOL NURSES ON OUR CAMPUSES
AND HELP OUR STUDENTS
IMMENSELY. IT'S SOMETHING WE'VE
HAD CFT VERY TRULY BELIEVE IN
IS HAVING ACCESS TO SCHOOL
NURSES EVERYWHERE SO WE'RE VERY
GRATEFUL. FOR THE ASSEMBLY

MCCLANAHAN AND I AM THE
COORDINATOR OF THE CALIPHATE
BULLETIN GOMEZ CREDENTIAL
PROGRAM AND A FORMER SCHOOL
MARCH. I AM VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE QUALITY OF EDUCATION
FOR SCHOOL NURSES. THE
IMPORTANCE OF CONNECTED HAS
FINALLY BEEN MADE CLEAR.
UNFORTUNATELY DESPITE THIS
RECOGNITION THE BILL
DEMONSTRATES THAT BONUSES ARE
STILL EXPENDABLE ENOUGH TO BE
RELEGATED TO A CREDENTIAL
PROGRAM WITHIN THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT. RATHER THAN IN THE
UNIVERSITY SCHOOL OF NURSING
ALONGSIDE THEIR PEERS TRAINING
TO WORK IN THE ICU COMMUNITY
HEALTH CLINICS AND BASICALLY
EVERYTHING ALL OTHER NURSING
SPECIALTY AREA. GONNA TO DO
DIFFERENT THINGS THE NIGHT THE
UNITED BUT THE PROFESSIONAL
EDUCATION IS NO LESS IMPORTANT.
IF WE VALUE THE WORK IS
COLLECTED AS MUCH AS WE VALUE
THE WORK OF ICE AND ICU NURSES
OUR COMMUNITY HEALTH NURSE
THERE. WHY WOULD WE NOT COMMIT
TO ENSURING THAT THEY RECEIVE
THE SAME HIGH QUALITY
EDUCATION. DON'T CHILDREN AND
FAMILIES. THEY SERVE ALSO
DESERVE BEST. HELLO THAN TO
EDUCATE IN AND A BE MARCH. BY
APPROACH THAT IS LIMITED AND
SCOPE BECAUSE IT WILL NOT BE
BASS ON OVER. NATIONAL
EDUCATION STANDARDS. TRUE IT
MIGHT NEED THE BASIC
CREDENTIALING CRITERIA THAT
STUDENTS ATTENDING UNIVERSITY
PROGRAMS WE SEE MORE THAN JUST
A FEW CLASSES TO EARN A
CREDENTIAL. UNIVERSITY EDUCATED
NURSES ARE PART OF THE VAST
STRUCTURE A STANDARDIZED.
EVIDENCE BASED PROFESSIONAL
NURSING PROGRAM. ANY PROGRAM
NURSES INCLUDING FULL NURSES
ARE SPECIFICALLY TRAINED ON HOW
TO PROVIDE CARE TO MEET LOCAL
STATE AND NATIONAL HEALTH IN
EQUITY GOAL SET FORTH BY THE
NATIONAL ACADEMY OF MEDICINE

HELP THE NURSING SHORTAGE IF

GREATLY APPRECIATE THAT SENATE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE IS
EXPLORING WAYS TO SUPPORT WELL
NOTHING. AB EIGHT FIFTEEN IT'S
NOT THE RIGHT WAY TO DO SO. AND
LEN OWNER'S CREDENTIAL PROGRAM
WILL LIMIT IT DANCE. AND PLACE
A CEILING ON THE SALARY
INCREASE. A SCHOOL NURSE UNDER
THE L. E. A. PROPOSAL WOULD NOT
GENERATE COLLEGE UNIT. PAUL
FULLER SAYS ARE ENCOURAGE ALL
NURSES ARE ENCOURAGED BY THE
INSTITUTE OF MEDICINE TO EARN A
MASTER'S DEGREE OR HIGHER THIS
WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE TO AN
ALLEY A PROGRAM. MANY LA A PAIN
SCALES REQUIRE COLLEGE UNIT
INCREASE OR THE BAND ALONG WITH
CANCELLED YEAH. WITHOUT THE
NECESSARY COLLEGE IN A
CUSTOMER'S RECEIVING THEIR
CREDENTIALS WITH THE L. A.
CREDENTIAL PROGRAM WOULD BE
LIMITED IN THE EARNING
POTENTIAL. ALSO WE ALREADY HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO SERVE ALL YOUR
CREDENTIAL CANDIDATES AND OUR
CAPACITY IS GROWING. THERE
ISN'T A BACKLOG FOR A
WEIGHTLESS ENTER ANY OF THE
THREE THE US IS GONNA THINK
PROGRAM. ALL OF OUR PROGRAMS
CATER TO THE NEEDS OF OUR
CANDIDATES BY OFFERING VIRTUAL
COURSE. COURSE OFFERINGS AND
LIMIT THE NUMBER OF IN PERSON
DATE. THE INCREASE ACCESS
ACROSS THE STATE. CURRENTLY SAN
FRANCISCO STATE IS A FINE TO
THE CDC TO OPEN THE BORDERS
PROVINCIAL PROGRAM STARTING IN
FALL TWENTY TWENTY TWO. WE
START WITH THE START OF ABOUT
THIRTY STUDENTS AND CAPACITY TO
UPSCALE AS PART. LAST WE ALL OF
THAT ALLEY NEED MORE SCHOOL IN
OUR WHO ARE BETTER SUPPORT.
HOWEVER A ONE OFF PROGRAM THAT
THERE'S A SINGLE SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS NOT BENEFICIAL. TO
EITHER THE SCHOOL NURSING
CANDIDATES. OR TO THE NURSING
PROFESSION AS A WHOLE.
THEREFORE WE ENCOURAGE ELLIE IS
TO PARTNER WITH THE CSU AND
DEVELOP PROGRAMS THAT RECRUIT
NEW CANDIDATES THAT RESULT IN
SCHOOL NURSING CANDIDATES.
HAVING CAREER ADVANCEMENT
OPPORTUNITIES. HAVING A STRONG
WELL EDUCATED AND SUSTAINABLE
WORK FOR. AND THE PEOPLE OF

CONCUR WITH THE COMMENTS OF OUR
COLLEAGUES WE ARE ASKING FOR A
NO VOTE ON AB EIGHT FIFTEEN-
THANK YOU- AFTER SHOWING NO FOR
THE LIGHTS CUTE IN OPPOSITION
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR
MODERATOR WILL BRING IT BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE. A CENTER PAM.
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH AND SOME
MEMBER RIVAS FIRST OF ALL- SHE
DEBTS AND- THAT'S A SHARE YOUR
CONCERN ABOUT THE- SHORTAGE OF
SCHOOL NURSES IN FACT- IN MY
CAREER AS A PEDIATRICIAN
ACTUALLY SERVED AS THE MEDICAL
CONSULTANT FOR- SCHOOL DISTRICT
HERE IN SACRAMENTO- SENTIMENTS
A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ONE
THE LARGER ONES. VERY CLOSELY
WITH THE SCHOOL NURSES AND
SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGISTS- AND- THIS
IS SO- HIMSELF AND NOT ON MY BY
THE WAY I'M ALSO A MEMBER OF
THE SCHOOL HEALTH- TRANSACTION
FOR AMERICA PEDIATRIC SO IT'S A
PARTICULAR INTEREST OF MINE.
AND I GUESS- I DO HAVE A FEW
QUESTIONS AND I DO HAVE SOME
CONCERNS ABOUT YOUR BILL NOT
WITH YOUR GOAL BECAUSE I
APPRECIATE AND I KNOW YOU WANT
TO TRY TO. CALL BUT- I GUESS
ONE THE QUESTIONS I HAVE IS
THAT- BASICALLY WE'RE GONNA
HAVE AN ALLEY A AND I AND I
DON'T KNOW THERE'S MORE AND L.
A. U. S. D.'S PLANE TO DO THIS
OR NOT- SO I WAS JUST LAS
ENCINAS OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT
ARE INTERESTED IN DOING THIS.
IS A REAL WHAT'S THE ROLE OF
THE COMMISSION COMMISSION ON
TEACHER CREDENTIALING CENTER
STAND THE THEY'RE THE ONLY ONES
WHO HAVE TO SIGN OFF ON THE
PROGRAM IN TERMS OF THE QUALITY
OF THE PROGRAM. YES THIS OF THE
CTC THE TEACHERS CREIGHTON-
APPROVES THESE PROGRAMS AND
WHAT THIS BILL DOES IS JUST
ALLOW THEM. TO CONSIDER- A
SCHOOL NURSE CREDENTIAL PROGRAM
THAT IS BASED OUT OF AN ALLEY
A- WHILE THIS BILL IS SPONSORED
BY LOS ANGELES UNIFIED- WE HAVE
OTHER- COUNTY. OFFICES OF
EDUCATION AND SUPPORT INCLUDING
HUMBOLDT COUNTY SHASTA COUNTY
RIVERSIDE COUNTY I DON'T KNOW
IF THEY HAVE PLANS TO DO THIS
BUT THEY HAVE SUPPORTED THIS
IS SO I THINK ONE OF THINGS I'M
CONCERNED ABOUT SOME SORT OF
COMPOUND IS SORT OF CONFLATING
A COUPLE THINGS SO YES SCHOOL
NURSES PRACTICE IN SCHOOLS AND
AN EDUCATIONAL SETTING- BUT
THEIR MAIN ROLE THERE IS
ACTUALLY. HEALTH I MEAN THE
HEALTH SERVICES NOT THE
EDUCATION SO. WELL CERTAINLY
SOMETIMES SCHOOL NURSES CAN BE
INVOLVED IN TEACHING THINGS
STUDENTS AND SO FORTH. SO I
THINK THE ON THE COMMISSION
TEACHER CREDENTIALING WHICH IS
VERY FOCUSED ON EDUCATORS AND
EDUCATION STANDARDS WHICH IS
THEIR ROLE NOT SURE IS THE
RIGHT BODY BECAUSE IT'S NOT
REALLY ADDRESSING THE HEALTH
PART SIDE OF THINGS THEY'RE NOT
EXPERTS AND HEALTHCARE EXPERTS
IN EDUCATION. EDUCATIONAL
STANDARDS- A JUST TELL YOU FROM
MY EXPERIENCE WORKING WITH
SCHOOL NURSES- AS A MEDICAL
CONSULTANT. SCHOOL NURSES HAVE
TO TAKE CARE OF FAIRLY CAN END
UP TAKING CARE VERY COMPLEX
PATIENTS SO WHAT HAPPENS IS
THAT YOU HAVE A CHILD THAT OF
COURSE EVERYONE HAS A RIGHT
EVERY CHILD HAS A RIGHT TO AN
EDUCATION. SO THEY'RE IN THE
SCHOOL DEPRIVE IN SPECIAL
EDUCATION. THEY MAY NEED
SOMEONE TO FEED THEM THROUGH A
G. TWO MAY NEED TO HAVE OTHERS-
K. AND SO FORTH. AND FOR WHEN I
WAS WORKING WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT WORKING THE SCHOOL
NURSES OFTENTIMES THAT WAS.
WHAT I DID WAS. TRY TO GIVE
THEM ADVICE ON HOW TO MANAGE
THESE PATIENTS BECAUSE-
ESSENTIALLY THE SCHOOL NURSE
THAT IS FAIRLY INDEPENDENT I
MEAN FACTORED THE EXPERT SO
WE'LL BUT TIMES. THE OTHER
STAFF GO TO THEM AND ASK THEM
HOW HOW TO HANDLE DIFFERENT
DIFFERENT HEALTH ISSUES SO IT'S
NOT SIMPLY- WHICH OUT AS A
HEADACHE HERE'S- A TYLENOL AND
I WAS WATCHING MY OFFICE AND WE
ACTUALLY CAN DO FAIRLY
SOPHISTICATED THEY HAVE TO. THE
HANDLE FAIRLY SOPHISTICATED
THINGS. AND MY CONCERN IS THAT-
WERE GOING TO CREATE A
SITUATION WHERE- CERTAINLY. YOU
KNOW THAT NURSES- WHO ARE INTO
IN DOING- ARE VERY CAREFUL WHY
APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENT THAT
WAS TAKEN TO RELEASE REQUIRED
BACHELORS DEGREE. BUT IN FACT
MANY SCHOOL NURSES ACTUALLY DO
HAVE MASTERS DEGREES BECAUSE-
THE AMOUNT OF- SKILL THAT IT
TAKES ACTUALLY MANAGE THESE.
SOMEWHAT COMPLEX PATIENTS AND
ALSO TO THE PUBLIC HEALTH
ASPECT AS WELL BECAUSE YOU'RE
KIND OF LIKE THE PUBLIC HEALTH
PERSON FOR THE SCHOOLS THAT FOR
THE SCHOOL AND SCHOOL DISTRICT
ARE CONFLICTING MULTIPLE
SCHOOLS BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE
ENOUGH FOR. SCHOOL NURSES. SO I
AM CONCERNED THAT THIS- THAT BY
HAVING THE CTC AND I ALSO MAKE
NOTE THAT- THE PEOPLE WHO ARE
TESTIFYING FOR WERE LIKE HUMAN
RESOURCES ADMINISTRATOR CITING
HERE PEOPLE FROM THE SCHOOL
HEALTH COMMUNITY SAYING HEY
THIS IS. THIS IS THE RIGHT WAY
TO GO ABOUT GETTING MORE SCHOOL
NURSES- BY HERE IS THAT FROM
THE SCHOOL HEALTH COMMUNITY
THAT WE'RE VERY CONCERNED ABOUT
THIS BECAUSE WE'RE CONCERNED
ABOUT THE STANDARDS AND- ARE WE
GONNA HAVE SCHOOL NURSES NOW I
UNDERSTAND WE DON'T HAVE THE
SCHOOL NURSES WE HAVE SCHOOL
STAFF EVEN THROWN AT THIS
POSITION BUT SCHOOL NURSES FROM
THE POSITION WHERE. THEY THE
WHERE WE'RE BASICALLY- HILLS.
THEY'RE NOT GOING TO BE W. F.
THREE DIFFICULT POSITION
BECAUSE- AGAIN THE STANDARDS
ARE APPLIED TO THEM ARE NOT
REALLY STANDARDS RELATED
NURSING THEIR STANDARDS RELATED
TO. YOU KNOW EDUCATION- AND SO
WHILE THEY ARE PRACTICING AN
EDUCATIONAL SETTING I THINK
THAT I WOULD PREFER THAT IF WE
WOULD HAVE AN ENTITY. THAT WAS
FOCUSED ON NURSING. BE THE ONE
THAT HAS TO SIGN OFF ON
WHATEVER PROGRAM IS. YOU KNOW
SUFFICIENT AND SO I GET THAT
YOU DID HAVE LANGUAGE SAYING
WELL THE CDC HAS TO ON THE ON
THE PRICE THE SAME STANDARDS
BUT THEY'RE NOT REALLY IN A
GOOD PLACE TO INTERPRET WHETHER
DISPERSED THAT THAT OTHER.
PROGRAM ACTUALLY. HAD THE RIGHT
STANDARDS ARE NOT A- NURSING-
AS A STANDARDS ORGANIZATION
WRITER AND EDUCATIONAL
STANDARDS ORGANIZATION. SO
PERHAPS- SO ANYWAY I SO I DO
HAVE MY CONCERNS I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU HAVE SOME ANSWERS TO
THAT- WITH YOU I ANSWER IT NOW
OR TO CLOSE- BUT- IT YOU KNOW I
AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
FACT THAT. THE THAT. THE CDC IS
THE MAIN BACKSTOPS TO BE SURE
THAT THESE NURSES MEET THE
STANDARD AND- AND SO. FORTY ONE
APPEALS TO SUPPORT BILL TODAY.
THANK YOU CAN EXCLUDE PROCEED
WITH THE SENATE THANK YOU FOR.
YOUR CONCERNS I WANT TO BE
CLEAR THAT- THE SCHOOL NAY.
CURRENTLY THE CTC. AS EVEN
TODAY APPROVED THE SCHOOL
NURSING CREDENTIAL. THIS BILL
IS NOT CHANGING THAT I KNOW YOU
YOU EXPRESSED SOME CONCERNS.
ABOUT THE CTC BEING THE ENTITY.
TO APPROVE THESE PROGRAMS WERE
RIGHT NOW LIKE WHAT WAS
MENTIONED SAN FRANCISCO STATE
WANTS TO CREATE A NEW PROGRAM.
THE CTC. IS GOING TO APPROVE
THE SCHOOL NURSE CREDENTIAL-
THE SCHOOL NURSE CANDIDATES
ALL. ARE REQUIRED TO HAVE A
BACHELOR'S DEGREE. AND A
NURSING LICENSE WHICH HAS YOU
KNOW THAT IS AN ENTITY. THE IN
OUR STATE THAT APPROVES THEIR
QUALIFICATION. BASED ON THE
NURSE SEEN AND MATTER. OF
REQUIREMENTS WRITER- SKILLS
THAT THEY HAVE. THIS PROGRAM IS
JUST AN ADDITIONAL YEAR FOR A
NURSE TO PRACTICE ALREADY A
LICENSED NURSE. TO PRACTICE IN
A SCHOOL SETTING- THAT'S WHAT
WE'RE DOING WE'RE PROPOSING
TODAY. THE CTC ALREADY APPROVED
THAT CREDENTIAL FOR ANY
INSTITUTION- A POST SECONDARY
INSTITUTION IN OUR STATE. OF
THE SO WE ARE NOT CHANGING NOW
ALL WE'RE DOING IS. ALLOWING
THE CTC TO CONSIDER. AN
APPLICATION FROM AN ALLEY EIGHT
OF THE CTC WILL APPLY THE SAME
QUALITY STANDARDS- AS IT
CURRENTLY DOES TO EVALUATE POST
SECONDARY EDUCATION. THEY CAN
DENY THE APPLICATION. APPROVED
IT WOULD BE UP TO THE C. T. C.
USING THE EXACT SAME STANDARDS
THAT THEY WOULD USE ON CAL
STATE FULLERTON- SAN FRANCISCO
DATE SAN FRANCISCO STATE AND
OTHER- UNIVERSITIES IN OUR
STATE. I AM I'M NOT SURE IF
THAT CLEARS IT UP I JUST WANTED
TO BE CLEAR- THAT THIS IS NOT A
NURSING LICENSE RIGHT THIS IS
THE SCHOOL NURSE CREDENTIAL
THAT IS JUST ONE YEAR. IN
ADDITION TO THE BACHELOR'S
DEGREE AND THEN LICENSE- THAT
AN INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL THERE'S
CANDIDATES ALREADY HAS WHEN
THEY ENTER. THE NET AND
APPRECIATE THE CLARIFICATION
AND I KNOW YOU'VE YOU KNOW
YOU'VE WORKED VERY HARD ON THIS
SO- I GUESS FROM MY PERSPECTIVE
AS SOMEONE WHO'S BEEN AND
OTHERS WORKED PRETTY CLOSELY
SCHOOL NURSES AND THE FACT THA
SCHOOL NURSING ORGANS YOU KNOW
SCHOOL HEALTH FOLKS ARE
OPPOSED. I'M HOPING THAT WE CAN
THINK ABOUT IN ADDITION TO THE
C. T. C. BECAUSE WE HAVE A
SCHOOL DISTRICT TO. YELL FOR
READY GOOD REASONS IS TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT HOW TO INCREASE THE
NUMBER SCHOOL NURSES THEY HAVE.
AN EIGHT YEAR AGREED THEY DO
HAVE A LICENSE- FROM THE
NURSING BOARD BUT PRIDE MORE
SPECIFICALLY E. JUST I DON'T
KNOW IT'S REQUIRES THEM TO HAVE
SOME SPECIALTY IN SCHOOL
NURSING- IN THAT- LICENSE
GENERALLY JUST HAVE A GENERAL
LICENSE BUT- I'DLIKE TO SEE
THAT THERE'S SOME ASPECT OF
REVIEW- THAT AND IT IS ON THE
NURSING SIDE OF THINGS I GOT ON
THE HEALTH PROFESSION SIDE OF.
ON THE SCHOOL HEALTH NURSING
SIDE OF THINGS TO BE SURE THAT
THOSE TYPES OF THOSE STANDARDS
ARE ARMED ARE MET BY THE END BY
THE EDUCATION PROGRAM ARE.
SYSTEM WHEN YOUR CERTIFICATION
PROGRAM THAT THOSE THAT THOSE
STANDARDS ARE MET I KNOW WE
DON'T HAVE THE C. T. C.
AVAILABLE TODAY AND THEY'RE NOT
ON THE LINE- BUT I AM ASSUMING
THAT THEY ALREADY HAVE. SOME OF
THOSE- IT'LL LIKE CRITERIA WHEN
THEY'RE EVALUATING THE CAL
STATES RIGHT BECAUSE THEY
CURRENTLY APPROVE. THE SCHOOL
NURSE CREDENTIAL- BUT I DON'T
KNOW THE EXACT PROCESS BUT-
THIS IS. HOW ARE STATE APPROVED
NURSE CREDENTIALS. YEAH I DID-
THE CTC- NO I BUT I MEAN YEAH I
THINK WE WOULD HAVE TO WORK ON
IF YOU WANT TO CHANGE THAT
PROCESS- EVALUATE IT- WE WOULD
HAVE TO WORK ON THAT. OKAY YET
NOW WOULD BE THAT WOULD APPLY
TO. THE POST SECONDARY
EDUCATION. INSTITUTIONS ALSO
RIGHT. BUT CITED FREESHIP THAT
AND- IT'S AND I ALSO WANNA
THANK YOU FOR YOUR WILLINGNESS
TO HELP AND I DON'T TAKE UP TOO
MUCH TIME OR COMMITTEES I LOOK
FORWARD TO HAVING AND- I'M
GOING THAT MAYBE CAN HAVE A
DIALOGUE THOSE KENNEDY. SO AND-
BEFORE IT COMES TO THE FLOOR I
THINK IF WE CAN TO SATISFY THE
ISSUE ABOUT HOW TO JUST BE SURE
THAT WE VETS V. SO. BECAUSE
FINANCES OF THE SCHOOL DISCUSS
SELFISH EIGHT EIGHT ESSENTIALLY
PROGRAM AT SCHOOL DISTRICT AS A
SEAT YOU SEE IS THIS GOOD
ENOUGH RIGHT SO L. U. S. T. I
THINK THAT YEAH AS SOMEONE
WHO'S ACTUALLY SOUND
CREDENTIALS AND ACCREDITATION
BOARD. WE WILL BE SURE THE
REVIEW OF THAT IS NOT SIMPLY A
PAPER REVIEW WHICH AB SIDE.
THAT IT'S IT THERE'S AN
EXAMINATION OF THE- PREPARATION
AS WELL AND SO MY GUESS IS THAT
AGAIN I'M GETTING GAS BECAUSE
WE HAVE CITY SEE HERE IS THAT.
WHEN THEY WERE IT AT LEAST YOU
KNOW VARIOUS PROGRAM SETS AT
SAC STATE BECAUSE OF THE
FACULTY STRUCTURE AND SO FORTH
THERE IT'S FIGHT LESS NEED TO
GO INTO TOO MUCH DETAIL. ABOUT
THAT LIKE A BIT MORE OF A-
VERSUS IF WE KNOW. IT'S AN
HANDS OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
WHICH IS A EIGHTEEN IN
EDUCATIONAL. NORMALLY THE
PROPER OF NURSES RIGHT. AROUND
LIKE THESE THE SCS PROGRAMS
ACTUALLY NURSING SCHOOLS. THE
PERHAPS NEEDS TO BE PERHAPS A
LITTLE MORE ON THE GROUND
EXAMINATION REVIEW. RICHARD
DATE- THAT OF NURSES THAT GET
THIS CREDENTIAL- YOU DON'T MEET
THE STANDARDS AND THAT THE
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAM. IS SUCH ON
THE NURSING SIDE OF THINGS I'M
NOT WORRIED ABOUT THE EDUCATION
SIDE OF THINGS. IS THE-
SUFFICIENT SO- AND DOES IT
BEYOND JUST SIMPLY LIKE A
WHITE. PICKED OFF THE VARIOUS
REQUIREMENTS ON ON A PIECE OF
PAPER SO. PERHAPS WE CAN WORK
ON THAT HAPPY TO WORK WITH YOU
THAT THIS IS NOT THIS BILL IS
NOT CHANGING THE APPROVAL
PROCESS. OF OCCUR A SCHOOL
NURSE CREDENTIAL PROGRAM IT'S
CONTINUING TO DO WHAT THE STATE
ALREADY DOES. TO APPROVE ANY
SCHOOL NURSE CREDENTIAL PROGRAM
ACROSS THE STATE. WHAT I THINK
WHAT ARE SOME OF THE CONCERNS
YOU'RE BRINGING THAT I WOULD
LOVE TO WORK WITH YOU ON AND
DISCUSS FURTHER ESPECIALLY WITH
YOUR EXPERTISE. IS ARE WE WHAT
STANDARDS ARE WE USING TO
APPROVE ANY SCHOOL NURSE
CREDENTIAL PROGRAM. YES AND SO
THAT'S THAT THAT'S NOT WHAT
THIS BILL IS DOING. BUT IT IS I
THINK A VALID CONCERN AND- I
THINK SOMETHING THAT WE COULD
REVIEW TOGETHER AND- YES I
WOULD DEFINITELY LIKE TO WORK
WITH YOU ON THAT. THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THAT UP. ME TOO AND-
WELL I WON'T BILL SUPPORT THE
BILL TODAY I LOOK FORWARD TO
OUR CONVERSATIONS AND HOPEFULLY
LOOK FORWARD TO SUPPORTING YOUR
BILL ON THE FLOOR. THANK YOU
OKAY THANK YOU THANK OU BEFORE

WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THE SAME
STANDARD. AT FOUR C. ISSUE
PROGRAMS WOULD ALSO APPLY TO
ELLIE A PROGRAMS CORRECT YES
