COMMISSION SO WELCOME TO THE
COMMITTEES YOU CAN MAKE YOUR
OPENING REMARKS. GOOD MORNING
AND THANK YOU CHAIR LAYERED AND
MEMBERS OF THE SUBCOMMITTEE- I
REALLY APPRECIATE AND WELCOME
THE OPPORTUNITY TO UPDATE YOU
ON. THE YEARS LONG EFFORT TO
REFORM THE CALIFORNIA THE
CALIFORNIA- CAL GRANT SYSTEM-
MARLENE GARCIA THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE CALIFORNIA
STUDENT AID COMMISSION AND I. AS
FOR BACKGROUND- I'M PRIVILEGED
TO HAVE THIS ROLE LEADING THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID
COMMISSION I WORKED IN THE
LEGISLATURE FOR NUMBER OF YEARS
AS A STAFF PERSON WAS PART OF
THE ORIGINAL STAFF TEAM. THAT
DESIGNED THE FIRST CAL GRANT
ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM SO REALLY
UNDERSTAND A LOT OF THE DETAILS
IN THE PURPOSE BEHIND THIS
IMPORTANT PROGRAM BUT I ALSO WAS
A CAL GRANT RECIPIENT MYSELF.
AND BENEFITED FROM THE
OPPORTUNITY WHICH REALLY MADE IT
POSSIBLE FOR ME TO SUCCEED AND
GO TO COLLEGE AND FRANKLY
TRANSFER FROM A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TO THE UNIVERSITY OF
CALIFORNIA. SO I REALLY SHARE MY
PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE AND MY
LIVED EXPERIENCE WITH YOU HERE
TODAY. LET ME PROVIDE A LITTLE
CONTEXT ABOUT WHY WE STARTED
THIS JOURNEY TO REFORM THE CAL
GRANT. WE ARE THE MOST GENEROUS
FINANCIAL STATE FINANCIAL AID
NEED BASED PROGRAM IN THE
COUNTRY WE DISTRIBUTE MORE THAN
THREE BILLION DOLLARS ANNUALLY
AND SERVE HALF A MILLION
STUDENTS- AND WE YEAH CAL GRANT
PROGRAM IS SO COMPLICATED AND
SEALED. UP HAS A NUMBER OF
RATIONING PROVISIONS THAT KEEPS
SO MANY STUDENTS OUT. SO MANY OF
THE VERY STUDENTS THAT WOULD
BENEFIT MOST FROM THE PROGRAM.
THE LOWEST INCOME STUDENTS AND
FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS
LARGELY LATINO AND BLACK- THE
GOAL OF THE CAL GRANT REFORM WAS
TO SIMPLIFY EXPAND. BY REMOVING
EQUITY BARRIERS AND TO MODERNIZE
THE CAL GRANT SO SOME IN THAT
HAVEN'T DESIGNED FOR STUDENTS
TODAY TO MEET STUDENTS WHERE
THEY'RE AT. THE BOB SPEAKING
WHAT WE WERE REALLY TO DO CREATE
A SYSTEM THAT SERVES STUDENTS
THAT THAT ARE CONSIDERING
COLLEGE TODAY. WE TRY TO CREATE
A COHESIVE SYSTEM THAT MADE IT
EASY FOR THE STUDENTS TO
NAVIGATE AS OPPOSED TO TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT. WHERE THEY GO TO
COMPLETE THEIR FAST AND WHAT IS
IT MEAN RIGHT NOW UNDER THE
CURRENT CAL GRANT PROGRAMS WHEN
THEY APPLY FOR A CALIFORNIA
DREAM ACT OF THE CAL GRANT THEY
DON'T KNOW WHICH PROGRAM THEIR
PLANE FOUR. DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
MONEY THEY'RE GOING TO GET SO
WITH THE CAL GRANT REFORM THE
WOULD NOT ONLY KNOW HOW MUCH
MONEY THEY WOULD GET WE HAVE A
LOOK UP TABLE BUT THEY WOULD
ALSO KNOWS. EXACTLY HOW MUCH
BECAUSE OF THIS INSTITUTION THEY
GO TO. SO WE THINK THAT A SYSTEM
THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE USER
FRIENDLY INTUITIVE IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT FOR TODAY'S STUDENT
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST THE SMALL
NUMBER OF THE LEAST STUDENTS
THAT GO TO COLLEGE AS IT WHEN
THE PROGRAM WAS STARTED IN THE
NINETEEN FIFTIES. NOW WE NEED
EVERY STUDENT TO CONSIDER A
COLLEGE DEGREE CERTIFICATE OR-
THE OR- A TWO YEAR DEGREE OR
FOUR YEAR DEGREE. SO UNDER
KILOGRAM REFORM- THE OF REACHING
A DEBT FREE COLLEGE IS ALSO TO
CREATE A BASE OF UNDERSTANDING
WHERE STUDENTS WILL KNOW WHERE
TO GO AND WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO
GET WITH CAL GRANT. THE
INTERPLAY BETWEEN CAL GRANT AND
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP. AND
PELL GRANTS AND INSTITUTIONAL
AID AND OTHERS- SOCIAL SERVICE
PROGRAMS LIKE CAL FRESH. IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT TO THINK ABOUT
WHAT THE STUDENT NEEDS IN TERMS
OF THE RESOURCES THAT WOULD BE
AVAILABLE TO THEM NOT JUST THE
CAL GRANT. SO WHEN WE DEVISE THE
CAL GRANT REFORM SYSTEM WE'RE
LOOKING BROADLY AT. HELLO CAL
GRANT CAN BE A FUNDAMENTAL EASY
TO UNDERSTAND SYSTEM. AND HOW A
STUDENT CAN LOOK AT THEIR
PARTICULAR CIRCUMSTANCES AND
UNDERSTAND OTHER OPTIONS THAT
ARE AVAILABLE TO THEM AND ALL
TOGETHER. YOU START TO CREATE A
PACKAGE THAT CREATES AND LEADS A
STUDENT TO DEBT FREE COLLEGE
FREE OF CRIPPLING LOANS. AND
THAT REALLY IS A CONCEPT BEHIND
THAT BUT WE HAVE TO START WITH
CAL GRANT. AND- FIRST WE ARE SO
. FOR THE RE- INFO. AND POLICY
CHANGES THAT HAVE ALREADY BEEN
MADE TO THE CAL GRANT PROGRAMS
NAMELY THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM. BUT WE
LATER THAT ON THE EXISTING
LEGACY CAL GRANT PROGRAM AND
THAT HAS CREATED SOME COMPLEXITY
THAT'S EVEN MORE DIFFICULT. FOR
STUDENTS TO NAVIGATE EVEN THOUGH
IT IS A LOT MORE GENEROUS AND
WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR THAT. SO
TODAY WE ARE YOU KNOW LOOKING AT
TAKING THAT FINAL STEP AND WE
REALLY WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU
ESPECIALLY. GERMAN LAYERED AND
THE IN THE BUDGET TEAM FOR
HELPING US ACHIEVE WHAT WE'VE
BEEN ABLE TO ACCOMPLISH- SO FAR
- UNDER THE CAL GRANT REFORM
PROPOSAL WE HAVE TWO TYPES WE GO
FROM EIGHT PROGRAMS TO- WE GO
FROM EIGHT DIFFERENT FLAVORS OF
CAL GRANTS TO CAL GRANT TO. CAL
GRANT FOR. SO THAT'S WHY IT'S SO
EASY FOR STUDENTS TO UNDERSTAND
YOU CAN BE THAT FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS. PARENTS CAN SAY OKAY
I'M GOING TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE
THIS IS HOW MUCH I'M ELIGIBLE
FOR CLIMB GOING TO THE YOU SEE
THIS IS HOW MUCH I'M ELIGIBLE
FOR. WE BELIEVE THAT WE'RE AT A
TIME AND PLACE IN OUR- OUR OUR
HISTORY THAT WE HAVE TO MAKE
SYSTEMS INTUITIVE. FOR STUDENTS
AND THEN THEY CAN FOCUS ON THE
BIGGER QUESTIONS SUCH AS- WHY IS
COLLEGE A GOOD THING FOR ME AND
HOW DOES THIS LEAD ME TO A
BETTER LIFE. THAT'S WHAT WE WANT
WE DON'T WANT THEM TO STRUGGLE
WITH. THE NUTS AND BOLTS OF WAIT
A MINUTE HOW DO I MAKE SENSE OUT
OF THIS. SO WHAT WE DO KNOW IS
THAT CAL GRANTED THE CAL GRANT
AGREE. AGREEMENT EXPRESSING THE
CAL GRANT TO REFORM WOULD OCCUR
IF A MULTI YEAR REVENUE
PROJECTION NEXT YEAR MAY TWENTY
FOUR. TEAMS AT THIS THERE
SUFFICIENT FUNDING FOR THIS TO
GO INTO EFFECT. THE NEEDED
INVESTMENT IS ABOUT THREE
HUNDRED AND SIXTY MILLION
DOLLARS OF ON GOING FINDING.
IT'S ONE THAT WE BELIEVE IS
ESSENTIAL TO CALIFORNIA'S
WORKPLACE IF WE TRULY BELIEVE
THAT OUR WORKPLACE OUR ECONOMY.
REQUIRES THAT. ALL CALIFORNIANS
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE A
CONTRIBUTING MEMBER OF THAT
SYSTEM TO KEEP IT THRIVING AND
GROWING AS IT HAS BEEN. AND TO
DO THAT THEY HAVE TO NOT ONLY
HAVE ACCESS TO FINANCIALLY THEY
HAVE TO KNOW. THAT IS THERE FOR
THEM THE MAJORITY OF THE LOWEST
INCOME STUDENTS DON'T BELIEVE.
THAT FINANCIALLY IT IS REALLY
AVAILABLE WE DON'T BELIEVE THAT
IT'S GOOD FOR MONEY I'M NOT
ALONE THAT THEY DON'T HAVE TO
PAY BACK. TO BY SIMPLIFYING THE
PROCESS AND SEEN. YOU HAVE A
GUARANTEE IN CALIFORNIA WE OFFER
THAT LIKE NO OTHER STATE IN THE
COUNTRY WE'RE GIVING THEM. THE
OPPORTUNITY TO LOOK AT WHAT'S
POSSIBLE AND THAT'S REALLY
WHAT'S AT THE CORE OF THE CAL
GRANT. PROGRAMS WE KNOW THAT
STUDENTS SURVEYS AND DATA AND
OUTCOMES STILL SHOW THAT
STUDENTS PERCEIVED THAT TUITION
IS STILL OUT OF REACH FOR THEM
WHEN IN FACT CALIFORNIA IS ONE
OF THE LOWER COST. OF SYSTEMS IN
TERMS OF PROVIDING AFFORDABLE
TUITIONS WITH THEY'RE NOT
RECOGNIZING THAT IT IS BASIC
NEEDS THAT'S A STRUGGLE FOR
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS. WE BELIEVE
BY SIMPLIFYING THE PROGRAM AND
REALLY HELPING THEM UNDERSTAND.
HOW THEY CAN AFFORD THEIR BASIC
LIVING EXPENSES IS A CRITICAL
PART. OF CAL GRANT REFORM AND
THAT STUDENTS ARE ABLE TO TAKE
ADVANTAGE OF OTHER OPPORTUNITIES
THAT WE HAVE THEY CAN SEE HOW
THEY CAN PIECE TOGETHER THAT.
SYSTEM AND HOPEFULLY WE'RE GOING
TO DO A BETTER JOB OF BREEDING
THOSE OPPORTUNITIES TOGETHER TO
HELP STUDENTS UNDERSTAND. IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT AND THIS IS
WHAT I THINK ABOUT AS- A LEADING
THIS ORGANIZATION IS HOW DO WE
CREATE SYSTEMS THAT MEET
STUDENTS WHERE THEY'RE AT.
INSTEAD OF HAVING STUDENTS
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO
NAVIGATE THIS COMPLEX PROCESS
SEES. AND THEN GET DISCOURAGED
ALONG THE WAY AND MAYBE NEVER
EVEN BELIEVE. SO CALIFORNIA HAS
BEEN A NATIONAL LEADER IN THIS
SPACE ON COLLEGE AFFORDABILITY
IN LARGE PART BECAUSE OF THE
LEADERSHIP OF THE LEGISLATURE IN
THE GOVERNOR- AND FOLLOWING
THROUGH ON THIS INVESTMENT IN
THESE FINAL. POLICY CHANGES IT'S
A REALLY LAST PIECE OF THE
PUZZLE TO MAKE THIS SYSTEM WORK
EFFICIENTLY. EFFECTIVELY AND IN
SERVICE OF STUDENTS. SO I THINK
YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS
IMPORTANT PROGRAM AND LOOK
FORWARD TO ANSWERING ANY OF YOUR
QUESTIONS. THANK YOU VERY. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOU
BEING HERE. AND WILL HOLD THE
QUESTIONS TELL EVERYONE WE'RE
NEXT GOING TO GO TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. HELLO
HEAR ME- GOOD MORNING KAREN
SENATORS DEVIN MITCHELL WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- MARLENE'S
ADDRESS SOME OF THIS BUT I'M
CALIFORNIA'S THE STATE'S PRIMARY
FINANCIALLY PROGRAM. TOWARDS
GRANTS TO STUDENTS ATTENDING IS
CCSU. CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGE OR OTHER QUALIFYING
INSTITUTION. CALGARY IS AN
ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM SO STUDENTS
TO MEET ALL SPECIFIED ELIGIBLE
TO RETIRE. ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
WERE TO COMMUNITY COLLEGE HIGH
SCHOOL OR TRANSFORM OUR
ENTITLEMENT AWARD. ADDITIONALLY
STUDENTS WHO DO NOT MEET ALL THE
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS FOR
ENTITLEMENT BUT STILL
DEMONSTRATE FINANCIAL NEED. FOR
CONSIDERED FOR ONE OF THE
THIRTEEN THOUSAND GRANTS
DISBURSED TO THE CAL GRANT
COMPETITIVE PROGRAM. THIS BUDGET
ASSUMES EXPENDITURES OF TWO
POINT THREE BILLION TO SUPPORT
THE CAL GRANT PROGRAMS FISCAL
YEAR TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR.
YES ME TO THE PROGRAM A PROVIDE
MORE THAN THREE HUNDRED SEVENTY
SEVEN THOUSAND AWARDS TO THE
ENTITLEMENT PROGRAM NEXT YEAR.
IT'S VERY VERY DIFFICULT FISCAL
CLIMATE FOR THE STATE THIS
BUDGET. MAINTAINS CALIFORNIA
STARK INVESTMENTS IN FINANCIAL
AID AND SUPPORT FOR STUDENTS
PURSUING PUBLIC HIGHER EDUCATION
. WITH THAT SAID- DUE A CASE FOR
THE- THIS UNIT COMMISSION
INDICATED REDUCED EXPENDITURES
ON THE COVER IN PROGRAM OF TWO
HUNDRED NINE POINT SEVEN MILLION
THE CURRENT YEAR- AND IS
PROJECTED TO BE TWO HUNDRED
EIGHTY SIX POINT FIVE MILLION IN
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. BASED
ON THE MOST RECENT ESTIMATES.
LOWER PARTICIPATION COVERING
PROGRAM INTRODUCTION IN
FINANCIAL AID DISBURSEMENTS ARE
LARGELY ASSOCIATED WITH THE
LINGERING EFFECTS OF THE COPA
NINETEEN PANDEMIC- OF THE
DRIVING FACTORS ARE ROMAN AND
RETENTION DECLINES IN THE CAL
STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM. THAT
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES AS
WELL AS TO A LESSER EXTENT
RETENTION CHALLENGES IN THE UC
SYSTEM. I BELIEVE TRANSIT
CONTINUED SO FAR IN TWENTY TWO
TWENTY THREE THERE ARE SIGNS OF
A REBOUND IN PROGRAM
PARTICIPATION. RECENT DATA HAS
INDICATED SMALL YEAR OVER YEAR
INCREASES AMONG NEW STUDENTS
RECEIVING A HIGH SCHOOL
ENTITLEMENT- COVERING A WAR EVEN
AS RENEW AWARDS CONTINUE TO
CLIMB. ADDITIONALLY THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF EIGHTY FOUR
SIXTY NINE AT THE STATE LEVEL
AND THE FASTEST IMPLICATION ACT
AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL OVER THE
NEXT FEW YEARS. IS EXPECTED TO
INCREASE FINANCIAL AID
APPLICATIONS BY NEW STUDENTS AND
CONSEQUENTLY TO THE DISBURSEMENT
OF AID- REGARDING CALTRAIN
REFORM- INCLUDING THE TWENTY
TWENTY BUDGET AGREEMENT COVERING
REFORM ACT WOULD CHANGE THE
DESIGN OF THE PROGRAM IT GOES IF
IT GOES INTO A FACT- THE
EXISTING ABC STRUCTURE WOULD BE
REPLACED BY CALTRAIN TO WARD.
FOR NINE TUITION SUPPORT FOR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS AT
CAL GRANT FOR AWARD FOR TUITION
COVERAGE KELSEY AND UC'S.
ADDITIONALLY INCOME ELIGIBILITY
CEILING TO BE LOWERED TO THE
LEVEL THE FEDERAL PELL GRANT
PROGRAM. AGING OUT OF. AGING
TIME AND PRICE RESTRICTIONS WILL
BE REMOVED. THE NEW PROGRAM
WOULD NOT HAVE A MINIMUM HIGH
SCHOOL GRADE POINT AVERAGE
REQUIREMENT FOR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS. AND THE CCC
EXPANDED ENTITLEMENT AWARD
RECIPIENTS WOULD BE ABLE TO
CONTINUE RECEIVING THIS AID UPON
TRANSFERRING TO A PRIVATE
NONPROFIT INSTITUTION. FINANCE
CONTINUES TO MONITOR THE STATE'S
LONG TERM FISCAL OUTLOOK AS WE
GET CLOSER TO HIM MAJOR.
REVISION IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
WHEN THE ADMINISTRATION WILL
DETERMINE WHETHER THESE CHANGES
WILL BE IMPLEMENTED. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND NOW
WE'LL GO TO- LIESEGANG OF THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE.
THANK YOU AND GOOD MORNING
CHIANG MEMBERS FREETHINKING LET
THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
. REGARDING THE TALKING CASE
THAT ADJUSTMENTS DESCRIBED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WE
BELIEVE THESE ARE REASONABLE
BASED ON THE AVAILABLE
INFORMATION. WHICH IS NOT THAT
YOU'LL RECEIVE UPDATED CASELOAD
DATA AT THE MAY REVISION.
PUBLICUS MY REMAINING COMMENTS
IN THIS ISSUE ON CAL GRANT
REFORM. THE COMMISSION NOTED
LAST YEAR AS PART OF THE BUDGET
AGREEMENT THE STATE AGREED TO
SUBJECT HOW CAN REFORM TO A
TRIGGER DETERMINATION. MEANING
THAT THE STATE WOULD DETERMINE
NEXT SPRING LIKELY THE MAYOR
VISION. WHETHER TO PROCEED WITH
THESE PROGRAM CHANGES IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. OUR
MAIN CONCERN WITH THIS APPROACH
IS THAT THE TIMING OF THE
TRIGGER DETERMINATION CONFLICTS
WITH THE UNIVERSITY ADMISSIONS
PROCESS. YOU SEE IN CSU CAMPUSES
GENERALLY AND TO SEND FINANCIAL
AID OFFER LETTERS OUT TO
STUDENTS IN THE SPRING PRECEDING
THE ACADEMIC CARE. SO THAT
STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES HAVE
THAT INFORMATION AVAILABLE AS
THEY'RE MAKING COLLEGE
ENROLLMENT DECISION. IF THE
STATE WAITS UNTIL NEXT MAY TO
DETERMINE WHETHER TO PROCEED
WITH CAL GRANT REFORM IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. SOME
STUDENTS WILL LIKELY BE IN THE
POSITION OF MAKING ENROLLMENT
DECISIONS BEFORE IT IS DETERMINE
WHETHER THEY'RE ELIGIBLE FOR CAL
GRANT. OR HOW MUCH AID THEY WILL
RECEIVE UNDER THE POTENTIAL NEW
ROLES. IF THE STATE WOULD
INSTEAD MAKE THE DETERMINATION
SOONER. WE THINK IT THE PROVIDE
STUDENTS WITH GREATER CLARITY IN
THE AMOUNT OF FINANCIALLY THAT'S
AVAILABLE TO THEM IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. WHILE
ALSO PROVIDING THE COMMISSION IN
THE SEGMENTS WITH MORE TIME TO
IMPLEMENT SIGNIFICANT PROGRAM
CHANGES. RECOMMENDED OPTING THIS
LATTER APPROACH AND DETERMINING
AS PART OF THIS YEAR'S BUDGET
PROCESS WHETHER TO PROCEED WITH
CAL GRANT REFORM IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. IF THE
LEGISLATURE WISHES TO PROCEED WE
RECOMMENDED DESIGNATE FUNDING IN
ITS BUDGET PLAN FOR THIS
PURPOSE. RATHER THAN RELYING ON
A TRIGGER THAT HAS AN UNCERTAIN
OUTCOME. FINALLY IS THE
LEGISLATURE IS MAKING THIS
DETERMINATION WE ENCOURAGE IT TO
WEIGH ITS OPTIONS ACROSS. BOTH
THE CAL GRANT PROGRAM IN THIS
ISSUE. IN THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM THAT WILL BE
DISCUSSING IN A FEW MINUTES
HERE. BOTH OF THESE PROGRAMS
ADDRESS A SHARED GOAL OF
INCREASING COLLEGE
AFFORDABILITY. HOWEVER THEY DO
SO IN DIFFERENT WAYS SO THE
IMPACT DIFFERENT GROUPS OF
STUDENTS AND HAVE DIFFERENT
COSTS IN FISCAL IMPLICATIONS. AT
THIS TIME THE LEGISLATURE HAS
OPTIONS TO EXPAND EITHER OF BOTH
PROGRAMS TO THE EXTENT FUNDING
IS AVAILABLE. AND IN SOME WAYS
THE PROGRAMS CAN BE
COMPLEMENTARY. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH WE'RE GOING TO
MOVE TO QUESTIONS AND LET ME
JUST. IN WITH A COUPLE AND
FIRST- FOR THE DIRECTOR IT
SEEMED IN YOUR TESTIMONY. YOU
WERE LAYING OUT WHAT SHE THOUGHT
SHOULD BE REFORMS AND THEN ALSO
TALKING ABOUT THE BUDGET ISSUE
SO YOU WERE SORT OF LAYING OUT.
SOME POLICY CHOICES AND THEN.
TALKING ABOUT WHAT THE PRECISE
BUDGET ISSUES WERE. IF YOU WERE
YOU SUGGESTING THAT THE POLICY
REFORMS BE DONE AS PART OF THE
BUDGET PROCESS IS THAT WHAT I
WAS HEARING OR WERE YOU LAYING
THAT OUT BECAUSE WE JUST
HAPPENED A FOR LEGISLATORS IN
THE ROOM IT MIGHT BE NICE IF
THEY DID SOMETHING. ON THE
POLICY ONE. WELL MY ANSWER TO
THAT IS TO JUST PROVIDE A LITTLE
BACKGROUND AS TO HOW WE GOT
HERE- MY POSITION IS I WOULD
LIKE. TO URGE THE LEGISLATURE TO
ADOPT IT WHEN IT IS MOST.
POSSIBLE TO GET IT APPROVED AND
SO I AM NOT SUGGESTING WHEN THAT
SHOULD HAPPEN WHATEVER IT
HAPPENS I JUST WOULD LIKE TO SEE
THIS MOVE FORWARD. AND MOVE
FORWARD IN A TIMELY WAY SO THAT
WE CAN HAVE. THE MORE THAN A
HUNDRED AND FIFTY THOUSAND MORE
STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO CAL
GRANT. SO THAT'S THE URGENCY
BEHIND IT WHEN IT HAPPENS
WHETHER THIS YEAR NEXT YEAR AS
PRESCRIBED IN THE- BUDGET
LANGUAGE- I DEFER TO YOU AS THE
LEADERS POLICY AND POLITICAL
LEADERS. THANK YOU AND LET ME.
BACK UP AND MAKE A COMMENT I
PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE MADE AT THE
OUTSET OF THE HEARING AND THAT
IS. THE BEGINNING OF THE AGENDA
PACKET EXPLAINS THE DIFFERENT
PROGRAMS AND EXPLAINS THAT AND
HOW WE WILL BE CONSIDERING THEM
ITEM BY ITEM AND THE HEARING.
TODAY AND IT'S MINE NOW SIS AND
JUST MIND NOBODY ELSE CAN. A CAN
ON THIS. THAT OUR PREVIOUS
SYSTEM SORT OF TOOK A VERY
LIMITED AMOUNT OF MONEY. THAT
AND DREAMED UP ALL THESE
ARBITRARY REASONS TO GET DOWN TO
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY NOT BECAUSE
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY WAS MEETING
THE NEEDS. THAT PEOPLE HAD AND I
THINK HE HAS BEEN THE GOAL OF
THE LEGISLATURE EVEN THOUGH IT'S
BEEN PIECEMEAL. TO TRY TO EXPAND
. THE NUMBERS TO OF TO REALLY
BASED ON THE ELIGIBLE OF WHO
NEEDS FINANCIAL AID. TO THE
GENERAL DIRECTION OF MOVING INTO
SEGMENTS THAT WEREN'T INCLUDED
IN THE FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS
BEFORE. AND MOVE IN THE GENERAL
DIRECTION OF THE FACT THAT
FINANCIAL AID FOR FEES IS NOT
THE ONLY NEED THAT EXISTS THERE
ARE BASIC NEEDS. THAT ALSO ALLOW
PEOPLE TO AFFORD TO GO TO SCHOOL
THAT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO DO IT
AND- THEN THERE BEEN INDIVIDUAL
EFFORTS OR INCLUSIVE EFFORTS. ON
BOOKS ON HOUSING AND FOOD AND ON
FOR JUST A RECOGNITION OF THAT.
FOR MORE GENERAL. FINANCIAL AID
AND I PROBABLY SHOULD HAVE SAID
THAT AT THE BEGINNING BUT IT
JUST SORT OF PROVIDE SOME
CONTEXT. FOR WHAT WE'RE DOING
HERE. AND THEN THE QUESTION I
WAS GONNA AS FINANCING YOU
ALLUDED TO IT IN YOUR COMMENTS
IS. THAT AND. THE DIRECTOR
MENTIONED TO- WE HAVE. A TRIGGER
SET UP IN YEAR. AND A KEEPS
WE'VE BEEN GETTING A LOT OF.
COMMUNITY TO THE COMMITTEE ABOUT
PEOPLE THAT WANT TO MAKE SURE.
THAT STILL GOES AHEAD BUT OF
COURSE WE DON'T NECESSARILY KNOW
WHAT THE BUDGET REALITIES ARE
WHAT DO YOU THINK THE STATE OF
PLAY IS TOWARD THE TRIGGER RIGHT
NOW. SO THAT WOULD REALLY JUST
BE SPECULATION- ALL TO SAY
MIDDLE OF A LOT BUT THAT'S MORE
THAN MANY FINANCE PEOPLE ARE
WILLING TO DO. I'M JUST TEASING
YOU. PLEASE CONTINUE. NO I WAS
JUST GONNA SAY- YOU KNOW. THE
EXTENSION OF ANY ENTITLEMENT
PROGRAMS CALGARY AND INVOLVE THE
POTENTIAL FOR UNKNOWN ADDITIONAL
COST PRESSURES TO GENERAL FUND
SO THE LOGIC BEHIND THE TRIGGER
IS THAT SUFFICIENT RESOURCES
NEED TO BE AVAILABLE OVER A
MULTI YEAR PERIOD TO SUPPORT FOR
THESE CHANGES. I'M BECAUSE
THEY'RE SORT OF UNKNOWN UNKNOWN
. AND I THINK IT'S JUST
OBVIOUSLY I CAN'T SPEAK.
EVERYBODY'S ABOUT TO SPEAK FOR
THEMSELVES BUT FOR ME WE REALLY
HOPE THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY TO
MOVE IT AT THE END AND- YOU KNOW
IF. IF WE GET TO NEXT YEAR THE
END AND THE BUDGET IS TIGHT. WE
MAY WANT TO WEIGH WHAT DIFFERENT
THINGS ARE IN THE BUDGET IN
TERMS OF RELATIVE IMPORTANCE TO
SEE IF THIS ACTUALLY DESPITE THE
TRIGGER. WE STILL THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO PUT MONEY INTO THIS
PROGRAM TO MOVE AHEAD. SO FOR ME
THANK EVERYBODY FOR THOSE
COMMENTS AND THEN ASK IF THEY'RE
QUESTIONS. FROM MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE. NO NO. THIS IS A VERY
ON. MOMENT SO- THANK. BUT DON'T
GO FAR- BECAUSE WE'RE GOING TO
MOVE TO ITEM ONE B. WHICH IS THE
STATE FINANCIAL AID EXPANSION ON
THE MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIPS.
AND WE HAVE THE SAME SET OF
PANELISTS AND SO WE WILL BEGIN-
WITH THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION.
THANK YOU AGAIN CHAIR LEAD FOR
ALLOWING ME TO SPEAK ON ANOTHER
IMPORTANT TOPIC IN A NEW
INVESTMENT TOWARDS COLLEGE
AFFORDABILITY. THIS YEAR HAS
BEEN THE FIRST IN WHICH WE'VE
AWARDED STUDENTS WITH THE MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP TO THE
EXPANDED VERSION TWO POINT OH OF
THE PROGRAM AS OUTLINED IN THE
TWENTY TWENTY ONE- BUDGET AND
FIND IT FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS
YEAR. THROUGH THIS EXPANSION WE
ARE SERVING MORE STUDENTS FOR
THE MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
THAN EVER BEFORE. YOU SEE WE
WHAT ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND A
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIPS THIS
YEAR WE'RE SERVING OVER THREE
HUNDRED THOUSAND STUDENTS WITH
THE MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
AWARDS INCLUDING MANY CAL GRANT
STUDENTS. AT THE UC AND CSU WHO
ARE ELIGIBLE FOR THE MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP ON TOP OF
THEIR CAL GRANT. WE VIEW THESE
CHANGES AS VERY COMPLEMENTARY
WITH THE FORTHCOMING CHANGES TO
THE CAL GRANT WE JUST DISCUSSED.
AND REVIEWED AND THE CAL GRANT
BEGINS TO COVER TUITION FOR MORE
STUDENTS ARE UC AND CSU CAMPUSES
AND IN A PREDICTABLE WAY THE
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP WILL
HELP PROVIDE MORE SUPPORT
SUPPORT TOWARDS THOSE BASIC
NEEDS WHICH WE KNOW STUDENTS
STRUGGLE WITH- TO. TO PERSISTING
COLLEGE. ADDITIONALLY FOR MORE
MIDDLE CLASS STUDENTS ABOVE THE
CAL GRANT ELIGIBILITY CUT OFF HE
WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP AND OTHER
CAMPUS BASED AID. TAKEN TOGETHER
THESE TWO INVESTMENTS IN THE CAL
GRANT IN THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP CAN REALLY PUT
CALIFORNIA ON PC CREATING THAT
DEBT FREE. PATHWAY TOOK COLLEGE
DEGREE. NOW THIS WORK HAS NOT
BEEN WITHOUT ITS CHALLENGES FOR
ALL OF US- WE'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH THE SEGMENTS AND TRYING TO
DEVELOP THE IMPLEMENTATION.
DETAILS TO PUT THIS PROGRAM IN
EFFECT THIS YEAR- THE MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP NEW STRUCTURE
IS TAKING ON THE TOTAL COST OF
ATTENDANCE WHICH IS REALLY THE
FIRST TIME WE'VE DONE THIS IN
CALIFORNIA. AND SEEKING TO
MAXIMIZE OTHER FORMS OF
FINANCIAL AID. AND THEN PACKAGES
SO THAT WE LOOK AT STUDENTS THE
VARIOUS FORMS OF A THAT A
STUDENT RECEIVES AT THE LOCAL
CAMPUS LEVEL THEN Y
WHAT THAT LAST DOLLAR IS. OF THE
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP TO FILL
THAT GAP. AS YOU MAY KNOW THAT
AT THIS POINT THE STATE HAS
INVESTED TO COVER. 264% OF THAT
COST OF ATTENDANCE FOR STUDENTS
TO THE MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
COMPONENT WITH. AN EXPECTATION
THAT THE FULL AMOUNT WILL BE
FUNDED IN FUTURE YEARS. THE LAST
DOLLAR NATURE OF THIS PROGRAM.
IS OUTLINED IN STATUTES WHAT HAS
TO BE THE LAST DOLLAR BUT THIS
IS WHAT CREATES A LOT OF THE
COMPLICATIONS. BECAUSE A STUDENT
FOR EXAMPLE IF THEY GET
FINANCIAL AID THE STUDENT THE
CAMPUS FINANCIAL AID OFFICER
PACKAGES THE PROGRAM THEY SAY
OKAY YOU GOTTA CAL GRANT GOTTA
CAL GRANT YOU GOT INSTITUTIONAL
AID YOU GOT WORK CITY. AND NOW
WE'RE GOING TO CLOSE OUT BY
TWENTY FOUR PERCENT. OF THE
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP. IF
THAT STUDENT GETS OTHER AID OR
EMERGENCY BASIC NEEDS EIGHT WHAT
THEY HAVE TO DO BY STATUTE IS A
HAVE TO THEM. TO REDUCE THE
AMOUNT OF THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP TOOK TO- ACCOUNT FOR
THAT ADDITIONAL AID. SO THE
STUDENTS GETTING THIS ADDITIONAL
AID AND ALL IT DOES IS JUST
REDUCE THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP AND IT REQUIRES RE
PACKAGING. IN THE MIDDLE OF THE
TERM WHICH IS NOT A GREAT
SITUATION FOR FINANCIAL AID
OFFICERS BUT MORE SO IT'S NOT A
GREAT SITUATION FOR STUDENTS. SO
WE THINK THAT'S AN AREA THAT CAN
BE ADDRESSED. AND WE'RE EAGER TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE
LEGISLATURE THE ADMINISTRATION
OF THE SEGMENTS TO REFINE THE
STATUTORY- STRUCTURAL ISSUES.
WE'RE ALSO APPRECIATIVE DIVERSE
SEGMENT PARTNERS THAT YOU SEEN
THE. SEATS YOU HAVE BEEN WORKING
WITH US TO HAMMER OUT THESE. AND
OUT IN RECORD. OF WE DIDN'T.
THIS LAST YEAR IN THE BUDGET AND
THEN HAD TO WORK AT A VERY FAST
CLIP. TOGETHER THE ROSTERS IN
PLACE WITHIN THE SEGMENTS CAN
DEVELOP THEIR OWN PLANS TO-
DISPERSE THE FUNDS. WE KNOW THAT
THERE ARE SOME ISSUES THAT THE
SEGMENTS IN CAMPUS IS STILL NEED
TO WORK THROUGH THE FIRST YEAR
WE BELIEVE THAT TOGETHER WE'RE
GOING TO CONTINUE. TO IDENTIFY
HOW WE CAN REALLY IMPLEMENT THIS
PROGRAM HAS SEAMLESSLY WITH THE
CAL GRANT PROGRAM AND OTHER AID
PROGRAMS SO THAT THE STUDENT AT
THE BOTTOM. AT THE END OF THE
DAY THEY GET THE MONEY THEY NEED
TO PAY FOR COLLEGE. AND FOR IT
BUT IT'S IN THEIR WALLET IT
DOESN'T MATTER WHETHER IT WAS
CAL GRANT OR MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP. IT'S THE MONEY THEY
NEED TO PAY FOR COLLEGE. SO
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE FOCUSED ON
LET'S GIVEN THE MANY IN THE
RESOURCES THEY NEED SO THEY HAVE
THE CONFIDENCE IN THE FAITH THAT
THEY'RE GOING TO BE ABLE TO
PIECE TOGETHER THEIR COLLEGE
EDUCATION. AND BE ABLE TO PAY
FOR IT. THANK YOU AGAIN SORRY.
IN THE SENATE YOUR PARTNERS IN
THE ASSEMBLY AND ADMINISTRATION
FOR YOUR WORK ON BEHALF OF.
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS AND THIS
MAJOR INVESTMENT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH WILL GO TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE- THE BUDGET INCLUDES
EIGHT HUNDRED FIFTY SIX MILLION
TO SUPPORT THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IN TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. OPERATION
PUTIN INCREASE OF TWO HUNDRED
TWENTY SIX MILLION ONE TIME
GENERAL FUND TO DELIVERING ON
THE INTENT TO PROVIDE THIS
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT THAT WAS
INCLUDED IN THE TWENTY TWENTY TO
BUDGET. THIS INCREASE INVESTMENT
FOCUS RESOURCES TOWARD REDUCING
STUDENTS TOTAL COST OF
ATTENDANCE. MCS PROVIDES
ELIGIBLE UNDERGRADUATES INTO IN
PERSON STUDENTS PURSUING A
TEACHING CREDENTIAL WITH
SCHOLARSHIPS. THE PERMITS FOR
STUDENTS WITH FAMILY INCOME AND
ASSETS OF UP TO TWO HUNDRED AND
ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR. THE
WORD ABOUT YOUR FACE ON A
STUDENTS AVAILABLE RESOURCES AND
THE COST OF ATTENDANCE AT THEIR
INSTITUTION. MCS I'M LIKE HOW
GREAT IS NOT AN ENTITLEMENT
PROGRAM SO AWARD AMOUNTS ARE
ALSO SHAPED BY THE TOTAL NUMBER
OF STUDENTS ELIGIBLE AND FUNDING
FOR THE PROGRAM PROCREATIVE BY
THE BUDGET. EACH YEAR. WE
ESTIMATE THE PROGRAM WOULD
PROVIDE MORE THAN TWO HUNDRED
NINETY ONE THOUSAND AWARDS NEXT
YEAR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU WILL
GO TO THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST.
THANK YOU. SO AS MY COLLEAGUE ON
THE PANEL OF NOTED. THE WAY THE
STATE BUDGET FOR THIS PROGRAM AS
IT PROVIDES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
FUNDING FOR EACH YEAR. AND THEN
THE COMMISSION DETERMINES WHAT
PERCENTAGE OF EACH STUDENT'S
REMAINING COST OF ATTENDANCE
THAT CAN. COVER WITHIN THAT
FUNDING LEVEL. IT ALSO HAS THE
COMMISSION NOTED THE CURRENT
FUNDING LEVEL IN TWENTY TWENTY
TO TWENTY THREE IS ESTIMATED TO
COVER ABOUT ONE QUARTER OF
STUDENTS TOTAL COST OF
ATTENDANCE. THINK OF THIS
PROGRAM IS ROUGHLY ONE QUARTER
OF THE WAY TO FULL
IMPLEMENTATION. AUGMENTATION
IT'S INCLUDING THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET IS ESTIMATED TO INCREASE
COVERAGE IN TWENTY TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FOUR. UP TO ABOUT 33%
ABOUT ONE THIRD. HOWEVER BECAUSE
THE AUGMENTATION IS ONE TIME IN
NATURE THE FUNDS WOULD BE
REMOVED THE FOLLOWING HERE. THIS
MEANS THAT IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE CONTINUING STUDENTS
WILL VERY LIKELY SEE THEIR
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP AWARD
AMOUNTS GO DOWN. TO PREVENT
STUDENTS FROM EXPERIENCING THIS
KIND OF DECREASE IN AID THE
LEGISLATURE WOULD LIKELY FACE
PRESSURE TO FIND ADDITIONAL
FUNDING IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR
TWENTY FIVE TO SUSTAIN HIGHER
LORD ANNOUNCE. THEY MENTIONED IN
THE PREVIOUS ISSUE WE RECOMMEND
THE LEGISLATURE FIRST WAY IT'S
FINANCIALLY EXPANSION OPTIONS
ACROSS BOTH THE CAL GRANT
PROGRAM IN THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. IF IT
WISHES TO PROCEED AT THIS TIME
WITH EXPANDING THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM WE RECOMMEND
TO DO SO WITH ONGOING FUNDS
RATHER THAN ONE TIME FUNDS. WE
THINK THAT ONGOING FUNDING WOULD
PROVIDE GREATER CERTAINTY TO
STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
ABOUT THE AID THAT WILL BE
AVAILABLE TO THEM IN FUTURE
YEARS. WHILE ALSO BETTER
REFLECTING THE COST PRESSURES TO
THE STATE ASSOCIATED WITH
EXPANDING FINANCIAL AID IN ANY
GIVEN YEAR. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
. AND THEN WILL MOVE TO. IN I
DON'T KNOW THE BEST TO. IS THERE
SOME STATE ABOUT WHAT. THIS YEAR
I I'M JUST. ABOUT THE
IMPLEMENTATION GIVEN THE FACT.
TO THIS NEW. HOW WAS THE
IMPLEMENTATION GO. WELL I
BELIEVE WE WORK THROUGH A LOT OF
THE ROUGH SPOTS BECAUSE THE
FUNDING WAS DELIVERED TO THE
SEGMENT ARE FROM WE PROVIDED THE
ROLES AND INFORMATION THAT THEY
NEED TO THEN. MAKE MODIFICATIONS
TO THEIR SOFTWARE PROGRAMS TO
DISPERSE THE FUNDING AND- IT
TOOK CSU A LITTLE BIT LONGER
THAN IT TOOK FOR THE- UC- BUT
THE STUDENTS HAVE NOW RECEIVE
THEIR FUNDING HAS A WE THINK
WE'VE WORKED OUT. THE BOOK OF
THE KINGS THAT REALLY DRIVEN BY
THE X. THE COMPRESSED TIME FRAME
IN WHICH WE WERE TRYING TO
IMPLEMENT SO THAT THE STUDENTS
CAN GET THE MONEY AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE AND THAT'S WHAT WE WERE
ALL TRYING TO DO AND IT WAS JUST
A- TIMING ISSUE WHEN IT WAS
APPROVED IN THE BUDGET. AND WHEN
WE CAN ACTUALLY GET THE FUNDS
OUT TO THE STUDENTS AND SO
ANOTHER WAS IN LA- REPORT LAST
YEAR ON SORT OF THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS. AND THEY'RE GOING UP
SO. I DON'T KNOW MAYBE. THE BEST
PERSON START WITH SO THE FACT
THAT THERE'S- THE AMOUNT OF ONE
TIME MONEY THAT IS HERE WHAT IS
EXPECTED TO BE THE RESULT. WHEN
THE ONE TIME MONEY ISN'T IN THE
FOLLOWING YEAR'S BUDGET. SO
THAT'S AGAIN THAT WOULD BE A
CONVERSATION FOR FUTURE BUDGET
YEARS AS AN HOUR WOULD ACADEMICS
. I BELIEVE. BUT IF IT GOES
DOWN. IS THE- AND IS THE AMOUNT
OF GRAY ARE GONNA GO DOWN FOR
THE OF PEOPLE WE SEE GRANTS
GOING TO GO. I MEAN YES THAT'S
FOR FUTURE YEARS BUT- BUT IT'S
IN FRONT OF US AS A ONE TIME.
AND IS IF WE DON'T WANT TO GO
DOWN. WE DON'T WANT THE NUMBER
OF STUDENTS RECEIVING GRANTS TO
GO DOWN THAT'S A POLICY QUESTION
IN FRONT OF US RATHER THAN. FOR
NEXT YEAR BECAUSE THEY'VE JUST
GONE DOWN OF THE GRANTS OF JUST
GONE DOWN SOME TRYING TO GET AT.
IF YOU BELIEVE THAT'S WHAT THE
IMPACT WILL BE GRANTED ON THE
NUMBER OF PEOPLE RECEIVING
GRANTS WILL CANNELLA. THAT IS
JUST THE NATURE OF A ONCE.
DONATION. AND I'M GOING TO PUT
I'M IN A. OKAY AND I'M HOPEFUL
THAT POINT SO PLEASE IDENTIFIERS
YOU'RE A- FROM THE OF FINE. FIND
AS IT IS. CURRENT LOSS WOULD
WITH- THE AMOUNT GRAN PAID PER
TO. L. A. AWARDEES WOULD TAKE
SHOULD. THE AMOUNT OF FUNDING
BUDGET PLUS. THE CLIENT. FOLLOW
UP. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION STATE
ME UNDER A LITTLE BIT. MY
COLLEAGUE. WHO DETERMINES IF
IT'S THE NUMBER STE. MORE THAN
OF THE OVER THE M. THAT GOES
DOWN THAT TERM. WHICH PASS WE
FOR THROUGH WITH THE AMOUNT OF
MONEY A BILL DECREASES I THINK
THAT'S- VERY WERE WOULD I BE FOR
TO KNOW WHO HAS THE POWER DECIDE
THE NUMBER OF STUDENTS BEING
IMPACTED OR THE- AMOUNT BEING
AWARDED. ONE MEMBERS CHEN ME
THAT THAT THAT'S A MATTER OF
EDUCATION CODE SO IN THE PROBE
WAS CREATED AND I WANT TO SAY
TWENTY FOURTEEN FIFTEEN- DEAL
FINANCIALLY THAT WAS THE IT IS
THE STATURE PROGRAM WITH THE-
ITS FEET IT'S NOT ENTITLEMENT.
SO AT THE TIME WE HAD HUNDREDS
OF SEVENTY SIX MILLION
APPROPRIATED IN LAW FOR THE
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP-
FILAMENTS L. FULL IMPLEMENTATION
OF THE PROGRAM TOOK A FEW YEARS-
AND- POINTEDLY BREACH THAT
STATUTORY- APPROPRIATION AND IF
WE HAD. PER STATE LAW GRANTS TO
INDIVIDUAL AWARDEES WOULD HAVE
DECREASED SO IF THE LEGISLATURE
WOULD LIKE TO CHANGE THAT
DIRECTION IT WOULD REQUIRE. IT
BUT I'M STILL NOT SURE IF YOU'RE
GETTING TO THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION SO DOES THE STATUTE
ADOPTED IN. TWENTY FOURTEEN OR
TWENTY FIFTEEN. LEAD WHETHER
GRAN WILL BE REDUCED THE NUMBER
OF PEOPLE. THEM WILL BE RENTALS
REDUCED OKAY THANKS NOT CHANGE
ELIGIBILITY THANK YOU. AND IT
LOOKS LIKE TO STUDENT AID
COMMISSION WANTS TO SAY
SOMETHING I THINK OUR COLLEAGUES
AT FINANCE OF ANSWERED THE
QUESTION FULLY WE WERE JUST
GOING TO HELP CLARIFY THAT
STATUTE. DOES DICTATE WHICH
STUDENTS ARE ELIGIBLE BASED ON
THIS- NUANCED CALCULATION FOR
THE AWARD AMOUNT AND THEN THAT
STATUTORY CAP WE STRETCH THOSE
DOLLARS ACROSS ALL THE ELIGIBLE
STUDENTS BASED ON THE PERCENTAGE
OF HOW MUCH THAT FUNDING CAN
HELP US REACH WHAT IS IDENTIFIED
AS THE TOTAL COST OF FULL
IMPLEMENTATION. OF THE MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM IN I
WOULD JUST SAY ON BEHALF OF THE
COMMITTEE AND THAT IS A POLICY
ISSUE FOR US TO DECIDE.
RECOGNIZING THAT THIRD HAPPEN TO
BE A BUDGET. BUT IT BUT IT IS
STILL A POLICY ISSUE FOR US
DISCUSSES WE MOVE FOR. YES
SENATORS WOULD THANK YOU MISTER
SHE AND I JUST WANT TO HAVE UP.
TO THAT AND THAT IS. DO WE HAVE
A SENSE OF HOW MANY STUDENTS
THEM WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO ATTEND
COLLEGE BECAUSE OF THAT
REDUCTION DO WE KNOW HOW MANY IN
TERMS OF GRANTS. IN TERMS OF-
THE POTENTIAL RECIPIENTS HOW
WHAT WHAT DOES THAT LOOK LIKE IN
TERMS OF STUDENTS THAT WILL NOT
BE ABLE TO ATTEND COLLEGE
BECAUSE- THAT FUNDING WOULD NOT
BE MADE AVAILABLE. SENATOR IT'S
A IT'S A REALLY IMPORTANT
QUESTION FIRST AND CONSIDER I
DON'T KNOW THAT WE HAVE ACCESS
AT THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION TO
DATA WHERE WE CAN MAKE A ONE TO
ONE CONNECTION ON. HOW DOES A
ONE TIME INCREASE AND REDUCTION
OF THE MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
PROGRAM IMPACT STUDENT BEHAVIOR
AROUND ENROLLMENT DECISIONS- I
THINK IT WOULD MAINLY IMPACT
STUDENTS WHO WERE RENEWING THEIR
AWARDS. WHERE CAN YEAR ONE OR
TWO OF THEIR EXPERIENCE AT UC
AND CSU THEY'VE BEEN RECEIVING A
HIGHER AWARD AMOUNT AND THEN THE
FOLLOWING YEAR THERE'S A
POTENTIAL FOR A REDUCTION. I
THINK FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE
APPLYING AS FRESHMEN OR TRANSFER
STUDENTS THEY WOULDN'T HAVE
RECEIVED THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP AWARD PREVIOUSLY.
THEY WOULD HOPEFULLY BE EXCITED
BY THE GOOD NEWS THAT THE
GETTING THIS ADDITIONAL SUPPORT
BEYOND OTHER FORMS OF FINANCIAL
AID SO THEY WOULDN'T BE IMPACTED
QUITE AS MUCH BY THAT REDUCTION-
BUT I THINK THERE IS THIS PIECE
AROUND HOW WOULD THAT IMPACT.
THAT RENEWAL STUDENTS. AS WE
CALL. SENATOR THANK FOR THAT
QUESTION IS SORT OF THE BOTTOM
THAT. TO AND- HOW PROGRAMS
IMPACT STUDENTS DECISIONS
PROCESS. AND THE WAY I'VE ALWAYS
LOOKED AT IT YOU HAVE THE
STUDENTS EVERY STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA HAVE NEED THIS IS A
VERY EXPENSIVE STATE TO LIVE IN.
BUT THOSE STUDENTS WERE LIVING
AT THE POVERTY LEVEL. TO BE
EFFECTIVE MOST. SIGNIFICANTLY
WHEN YOU REMOVE SOME OF THEIR
FINANCIAL AID BECAUSE THEY'RE
NOT GOING TO HAVE OTHER OPTIONS
IF YOU'RE ON THE UPPER END OF
THE INCOMES OF SCHEDULE. IT'S
GOING TO BE A CHALLENGE BUT IT
MAY NOT BE AS ABSOLUTE IN TERMS
OF IMPACTING WHETHER OR NOT
YOU'RE GOING TO. CONTINUE TO
COLLEGE. SO WOULD BE A MATTER OF
LOOKING AT THE NUMBERS AND RIGHT
NOW- AND MAYBE JUST YOU KNOW
THIS. THE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS
THAT ARE GETTING CAL GRANT WHO
GET THE MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
OVERLAY ON TOP OF THAT THERE'S
THAT GROUP AND THEN THERE'S A
STUDENTS. WHO ARE IN THE UPPER
END OF THE INCOME SPECTRUM THAT
ARE JUST GETTING THE MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP AND THAT'S-
THAT'S- DO A CERTAIN AMOUNT.
ABOVE HERE TO HELP THEM WITH
TUITION AND FEES. SO WHEN YOU
LOOK AT THAT. CALTRANS TO IS
ALREADY GETTING THE CALAVERAS
LEAVE GOT THEIR STUDENT FEES ARE
BENEFITING FROM THE BASIC NEEDS.
SO WE REALLY WOULD NEED TO LOOK
AT THE NUMBERS AND ANALYZE WHAT
IMPACT THAT WOULD HAVE IF IN
FACT. PROGRAM OR TO BE REDUCE
THE CLEARLY STUDENTS AT THE
LOWEST INCOME LEVELS OF THE ONES
ARE MOST IMPACTED. CANNOT
PERSIST. IF I CAN ASK A FOLLOW
UP QUESTION. DIZZY THE L. A. O.
OR FOR. WISH TO COME. AND
REFLECT ON THE SCHOOL. ANYWAY.
THE QUESTION. I'M SENATORS.
CUEVAS HOW MANY BE BE. OR CUT
FOR PUSH DOWN. YES AND
UNDERSTAND THAT. IT ACTUALLY THE
WAY THE QUEST WAS. IT THAT
REQUIRES SOME SOME. OF WHAT
INDIVIDUAL DECISION. WOULD BUT-
BUT QUESTIONING. LIKE HOW MANY
PEOPLE. RECEIVE AND THEIR MY
MAKE THE DECISION NOT. AND I'M
JUST GIVING YOU THE OF HAVE ANY
. YOU WISH TO REFLECT ON THE- IF
YOU TO. WHICH IT SOUNDS LIKE
YOU'RE ABOUT TO SAY. IT IS THE
ONLY OAN VÀ THAT TO SEE. I
THINK THAT I WOULD AGREE WITH
THE COMMISSION THE IS TO
ANTICIPATE HE IMPACT OF THIS.
AWARD AMOUNT ON PERSISTENCE
GIVEN ITS INTERACTION WITH THE
OTHER AWARD AMOUNTS THOSE
CONSIDERATIONS THAT THIS GUY'S
AREAS DIRE ARE ALL RELEVANT THE
ONLY THING I WOULD ADD IS THAT
IN YOUR AGENDA ON PAGE A LOT AND
THERE IS SOME DATA ON THE
CURRENT NUMBER OF RECIPIENTS.
RECEIVING THIS AWARD INTO THAT
COULD GIVE YOU A SENSE OF JUST
THE POOL OF INDIVIDUALS WHO
MIGHT EXPERIENCE A CHANGE FOR
EXAMPLE IN TWENTY TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FOUR. ABOUT TWO HUNDRED
NINETY THOUSAND RECIPIENTS
ACROSS CSU AND UC ARE EXPECTED
TO RECEIVE THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM. OF THOSE
STUDENTS THOSE WHO WERE NEO
SAYS- FRESHMAN SOPHOMORE
JUNIORS. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO
WOULD LIKELY EXPERIENCE A
DECREASE THE COMING YEAR. THANK
YOU. IN LET ME JUST MAKE COMMENT
GOING SEE. ACTUALLY THAT COME
YOUR QUESTION YOU GOOD. OKAY- IN
THE CON IS. WHAT HAPPENS TO A-
IT IF WE AHEAD WITH THE ONE. THE
MONEY BEING RENEWED PEOPLE TO US
AND SAID YOU SEE THIS COME. AND
WE FIGHT BACK ON THIS COME.
WE'RE KNOWS FOR SURE EVEN THOUGH
THEY'LL COME BY AND- SAID YOU
SEE COME. SERVICE SENATOR MAN.
YEAH I WANTED FOLLOW UP ON THE
SAME TIME- I THOUGHT THAT KELLY-
MADE SOME IMPORT COMMENTS. I
KNOW THAT WE'RE GONNA GET DAY I
KNOW BACKWARDS SO IT HAVE A ON
THE- OF THE BUT- I MIGHT JUST-
PROFFERED THE IDEA THAT THIS IS
NOT TOO DISSIMILAR FROM WHAT WE
SAW IN THE SUBPRIME MORTGAGE
CRISIS WHICH I STUDIED. WE ARE
WE KNOW THAT CONSUMER BEHAVIOUR
FOR COMPLEX FINANCIAL
TRANSACTIONS OFTEN IS INFLUENCED
MOST HEAVILY BY THE ENTRY PRICE.
THAT IS TO SAY BACK IN
200-072-0006 TWO THOUSAND FIVE.
WE SAW A LOT OF PEOPLE PURCHASE
HOMES THEY KNEW THEY COULDN'T
AFFORD OVER THE LONG RUN BECAUSE
THEY COULD. AFFORD IT AT THAT
TEASER RATE LEVEL HELLO INITIAL
MONTHLY PAYMENT LEVEL. AND I
WOULD SUGGEST THAT PERHAPS A LOT
OF STUDENTS MIGHT BE BEHAVING
SIMILARLY SO AGAIN WE DON'T HAVE
DATA. BUT THIS SEEMS TO ME TO BE
A HUGE PROBLEM THAT WERE FACING.
OUT WHERE WE'RE GIVING STUDENTS
A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF AID AND
WE'RE YANKING AWAY FROM THEM IN
YEAR TWO AND BEYOND- AND SO I
GUESS. THAT'S A POINT I GUESS
THE QUESTION IS. WHY DID WE NOT
PERHAPS THINK ABOUT STRUCTURING
THIS OVER TWO THREE FOUR YEARS
RATHER THAN AS A ONE TIME ONE
YEAR. PAYMENT IT WAS THERE WAS
ANY DISCUSSION AT RAINY WEATHER
WE SHOULD. YOU KNOW REACT TO
THIS TYPE OF THREE POTENTIAL
CLIFF THAT MIGHT OCCUR THAT WHEN
I STRUCTURE THESE PROGRAMS IN A
WAY THAT IT MIGHT. OUT LADIES
FUNDS OVER SEVERAL YEARS RATHER
THAN ONE YEAR I THINK THAT IS
DIRECTED TO THE. DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE PROBABLY. WELL THE
FUNDING FOR HAS HAS CHANGED
SINCE THIRTEEN FOR NINE OF TIME
SO THERE IS A- I SAT ON GOING.
NUMBER AND THEN THEIR BEEN THESE
AUGMENTATIONS AND VERY SERIES
BASED ON RESOURCES THAT ARE
AVAILABLE. BUT BUT YOU SAID I
COULD INTERJECT I MEAN WE HAD A
ONE TIME. PAYMENT HERE THIS IS
NOT GOING BACK TO TWO THOUSAND
THIRTEEN THIS IS LAST YEAR
RIGHT. SO WITH A ONE TIME
SURPLUS- WE CHOSE TO DO THIS. AS
A ONE YEAR. STUDENT AID INCREASE
AND I GUESS THE QUESTION
SPECIFICALLY IS. WHEN WE'RE
STRUCTURING THE PROGRAMMING THIS
MIGHT HAVE IN YOUR PREDECESSORS
AND I DO MEAN YOU- WAS THERE ANY
THOUGHT GIVING GIVEN TO THE
CONCERNS. RAISED BY L. A- THAT
PERHAPS WE SHOULD. S. UP AND
PARTS ARE TWO PARTS WHATEVER
THAT WE AVOID HAVING THAT
PHYSICAL. THAT STUDENTS IN THE
FACE NEXT YEAR. I WOULDN'T BE
ABLE TO SPEAK TO THAT. QUESTION
AROUND THE DISCUSSION. THE
DEVICE THINK THAT WOULD BE IT
BEEN WISER APPROACH THE ONE.
CALLING WHAT WHAT WHAT A SECOND
I CAN ANSWER THAT QUESTION BUT
IT A WIDE. THAT MIGHT SHED SOME
LIGHT. WHEN THERE WAS A TWO.
LEGISLATE AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE
SENATE AND THE ASSEMBLY WE DID
NOT HAVE THAT IS ONE TIME. WHEN
IT BECAME A THREE PARTY
AGREEMENT THAT INVOLVED A THIRD
PARTY. HE CAME ONE TIME. YOU CAN
REFLECT ON WHAT THAT MEANS I
APPRECIATE THAT. MY PAY GRADE
BUT I WOULD JUST SAY- THIS IS
OBVIOUSLY CONCERNED AND- HI I
JUST WANT XP ASSOCIATE MY
COMMENTS WITH MY THOSE MY
COLLEAGUES. THAT I THINK THIS
IS- KEY CONCERN I WOULD SUGGEST
THAT WE MIGHT EXPECT TO SEE. A
MUCH BIGGER PROBLEM IS THAT IT
STARTS TO COME IN. YEAH SENDER
TRUMP. BUT MY COLLEAGUES COME.
FOR THE A. O. WHAT WOULD. WEBER
PRESENT. BEST CENTER AND I HAVE
MY OWN FOR BIAS. ON NO. THAT
FROM YOUR PERSPECTIVE AND YOUR-
OFFICE WILL BE THE- MEANS BY
WHICH COULD. GUARANTEE MORE OF
AN- SECURITY. FOR OURS. TO HAVE
FOR AS YOU PLAY. THEIR TO FOR
YOU- EDUC PATHWAY. SARVER WOULD
BE TO USE ONGOING FUND TO ANY
FURTHER AUGMENTATIONS TO THE
MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
PROGRAM. THAT WAY THE STATE IS
COMMITTING TO INCREASE SAYS THAT
IT EXPECTS TO BE ABLE TO STAY IN
THE COMING YEARS SAID THE
CONTINUING STUDENTS WHEN THEY
RENEW THEIR WORDS PLAYED.
RECEIVE A SIMILAR AMOUNT TO THE
PREVIOUS YEAR AND ALSO THE
INCOMING COHORTS WILL CONTINUE
TO RECEIVE AS MUCH AID AS THE
CULVERTS BEFORE IT HAPPENED. SO
HERE'S MY QUESTION. TO YOU MISS
GARCIA. IF IT MEANT. A MORE
MODEST UNDERGO. AB SECURE
FUNDING FOR STUDENTS. WITHOUT
THE BEST IN YOUR PERSPECTIVE OR
WOULD YOU TAKE THE RISK OF
HELPING A GREATER NUMBER OF
STUDENTS. WITH THAT WITHOUT THE
CERTAINTY. HAVING THE ON GOING
FUNDING FOR THESE FAMILIES I
HAVE MY PERSONAL IDEAS BUT I'M
CURIOUS TO HEAR YOUR THOUGHTS.
THAT'S A HARD QUESTION FOR ME TO
ANSWER I HAVE MY PERSONAL
FEELINGS BUT- YOU KNOW IT'S NOT
MY DECISION BRIDGES IMPLEMENT
THE LAW. AND YOU KNOW OF COURSE
I WOULD LIKE TO BE WE'RE WE'RE
WE'RE WE'RE POSITIONING
OURSELVES MONEY TO PROVIDE AS
MUCH- INFORMATION AND
PREDICTABILITY IS A STUDENTS OF
COURSE THAT WOULD BE THE IDEAL.
BUT WE ARE BALANCING A NUMBER OF
DIFFERENT- BUDGET CHALLENGES
AND- YEAH OF COURSE IT'S ALWAYS
BEST TO OFFER PREDICTABILITY.
THE HARDEST PART AND IT'S HARD
WHEN YOU HAVE A FLUCTUATING
BUDGET ON THAT THAT'S WHY I
WANTED TO KNOW WHAT THE
PRIORITIES. SHOULD BE OR WOULD
BE PREFERRED IN ORDER TO BEST
MAKE THE DECISIONS- FOR THE
POWERS THAT BE- ON THAT FACTOR
THANK YOU. ARE THERE ANY
REMAINING QUESTIONS ON THE SIDE
OF. MORE WE JUST SAY THE
COMMITTEE WAS FAIRLY CLEAR
INDIVIDUALLY AND COLLECTIVELY
WHATEVER. WHAT KIND OF WANT TO
GO. THEN LET'S MOVE TO ISSUE TO
WHICH IS THE GOVERNOR'S WORKLOAD
PROPOSALS FOR THE STUDENT AID
COMMISSION. AND THIS ONE WE HAVE
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE FIRST
OF LEGISLATIVE ANALYST SECOND
AND CHECK FROM HER FROM THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID
COMMISSION THIRD AND WE WILL
BEGIN WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. SO I DEFINITIONAL STILL
WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE-
BUDGET INCLUDING OF ONE POINT
FOUR MILLION ONE TIME GENERAL
FUND IN FY TWENTY THREE TWENTY
FOUR. FOUR HUNDRED SIXTY NINE
THOUSAND OF WHICH IS ON GOING
THEREAFTER TO ASSESS THE
COMMISSION'S CURRENT INFORMATION
TECHNOLOGY SYSTEM. ADDRESS
CYBERSECURITY ISSUES SUPPORT TWO
POSITIONS. THIS INVESTMENT WILL
HELP SEE SEX BETTER HANDLE
INCREASED VOLUME OF SENSITIVE
STUDENT DATA TO THE
ESTABLISHMENT AND EXPANSION OF
FINANCIAL AID PROGRAMS IN RECENT
YEARS. AS WELL AS THE
PROLIFERATION OF EFFORTS BY
MALICIOUS ACTORS TO COMPROMISED
AGENCIES WITH RANSOMWARE AND
OTHER CYBER ATTACKS. THE BUDGET
ALSO INCLUDES TWO HUNDRED AND
FORTY ONE THOUSAND I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT HUMAN RESOURCES POSITION
AT THE COMMISSION. AND TO
DISTRIBUTE TWO KIDS IN HIGH
SCHOOL TO HELP STUDENTS COMPLETE
THEIR FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS
. THIS POSITION WILL HELP THE
COMMISSION BETTER HANDLE
ADDITIONAL WORKLOAD CAUSED BY
THE INCREASE IN OVERALL STAFFING
IN RECENT YEARS. AND FILL VACANT
POSITIONS MORE QUICKLY.
MEANWHILE THE TOOL KITS FOR
TARGETED INVESTMENTS TO HELP
HIGH SCHOOLS AS THEY ADAPT TO
STATE AND FEDERAL POLICY CHANGES
AIMED AT GETTING MORE STUDENTS
TO APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID THANK
YOU. THANK YOU AND THEN WE WILL
GO TO THE LEGISLATIVE ANALYST.
THANK YOU. REGARDING THE
PROPOSED AUGMENTATIONS FOR CYBER
SECURITY AND HUMAN RESOURCES WE
THINK THESE ARE REASONABLE AND
RECOMMEND APPROVING THEM. WE DO
HAVE SOME CONCERNS HOWEVER ABOUT
THE PROPOSED FUNDING FOR THE
HIGH SCHOOL TOOL KITS WHICH
COMPRISES A HUNDRED TWENTY
THOUSAND ONGOING OF WHAT THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCES SHARED.
ELABORATE ON THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL THE TOOL GETS WOULD
CONSIST OF SOME PRINTED
MATERIALS THAT PROVIDE
INFORMATION ON AND PROMOTE
AWARENESS OF FINANCIAL AID. FOR
EXAMPLE RESOURCE GUIDES POSTERS
POSTCARDS NOTEPADS AND STICKERS
. LAST YEAR YOU MAY RECALL THE
STATE PROVIDED SEVERAL
AUGMENTATIONS TO HIGH SCHOOLS
PARDON ME SEVERAL AUGMENTATIONS
FOR HIGH SCHOOL OUTREACH RELATED
TO FINANCIAL AID. BOTH TO THE
COMMISSION AND ON THE CONTROL
SIDE OF THE BUDGET. IN LIGHT OF
THESE RECENT AUGMENTATIONS IT IT
IS SO DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE
WHAT GAPS IN HIGH SCHOOL AT
REACH REMAIN. MOREOVER WE DON'T
KNOW THAT THE PROPOSED APPROACH
OF SENDING PRINTED MATERIALS AS
THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO
ADDRESS THOSE REMAINING GAPS ON
AN ONGOING BASIS. AT THIS TIME
THERE ARE ALSO SOME KEY DETAILS
MISSING FROM THIS PROPOSAL SUCH
AS THE NUMBER OF TICKETS THAT
COULD BE SUPPORT. SO GIVEN THESE
CONCERNS AS WELL AS THAT HIGH
THRESHOLD FOR NEW ONGOING
SPENDING THIS YEAR. WOULD
RECOMMEND REJECTING THE PROPOSED
FUNDING FOR THE TOOL KITS THANK
YOU. IN IN A ONE OF. CLARIFY
QUESTION BEFORE WE GO TO THE
COMMISSION. YOU SAID A CERTAIN
REQUEST WAS REASONABLE BUT I
DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. WHICH REQUEST
YOU WERE REFERRING TO WHEN YOU
SAID IT WAS REASONABLE THANK YOU
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO CLARIFY.
WE BELIEVE THAT THE CYBER
SECURITY PROPOSAL IS REASONABLE.
WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT THE PORTION
OF THE FINANCIALLY TO WORKLOAD
PROPOSAL THAT'S DEDICATED TO THE
HUMAN RESOURCES POSITION THAT
THE HUNDRED TWENTY ONE THOUSAND
ONGOING HIS REASONABLE. AND
BASICALLY. THE COMMISSION S. FOR
SEVENTEEN POSITIONS TO
RECOMMENDED ON THE TOUR IN CYBER
SECURITY SEVEN THE WAY IT IS.
BETTER TO POSITION CYPRESS KATY
AND ALSO ONE POSITION FOR HUMAN
RESOURCES POSITION HOW TO DRESS
FINANCIALLY BUT AT LEAST ONE OF
THE CATEGORIES. THAT THEY DIDN'T
RECOMMEND IF YOU BELIEVE IS
REASONABLE. IS THAT WHAT I'M
GOING I'M TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
OF THE TOTAL REQUEST. WHERE YOU
ARE ON IT. I APOLOGIZE THE CAN.
THE PROPOSAL THAT PAID COULD BE
MINE. DON'T APOLOGIZE FOR ME. TO
GO. WE BELIEVE EVERY ARE ALL
WITHIN THE SUBSTANCE. THAT ARE
INCLUDED IN GOVERNOR'S. WE
HAVEN'T. BECAUSE REMAINING
PROPOS FOR TO POSSESS BE ON
WHAT'S IN THE GOVERNOR'S AND SO
WE DON'T HAVE COMMENTS AND THAT
WAS A CHIU THEMSELVES. OKAY JAKE
. NOW IS YOUR TIME A TEACHER LET
AND BE GETTING INTO THAT FULL
RECALL THEM TO MATCH AND SO DID
MORE- SURE LAYERED SO. MAY CHECK
PARTNER DEPUTY DIRECTOR FOR
POLICY PUBLIC AFFAIRS WITH THE
K. TO NAY COMMITTEE AS YOU
PROBABLY SURMISED IN THE EARLIER
DISCUSSION- REALLY GREAT TO BE
WITH TODAY AND PERSON THE FIRST
TIME SINCE I'VE- BEEN TESTIFYING
AT THE SUBCOMMITTEE. OF COURSE
AS YOUR GENDER DENOTES THE
STUDENT AID COMMISSION HAS SEEN
OUR- RESPONSIBILITIES REALLY
SIGNIFICANTLY GROW OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL YEARS AS THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE GOVERNOR HAVE ENACTED OR
EXPANDED PROGRAMS. AS WE WERE
JUST DISCUSSING WITH MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP FOR EXAMPLE
AND WE'VE ALSO ESTABLISHED NEW
POLICIES LIKE THE UNIVERSAL
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS FOR
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS. THAT WAS
REFLECTED IN BUDGET ACTON TWENTY
TWENTY ONE IN EIGHTY FOUR SIXTY
NINE AS OUR COLLEAGUE AT
FINANCES NOTING. EARLIER AND OF
COURSE WE'RE THRILLED WITH THESE
NEW INVESTMENTS AND POLICIES AND
WHAT THEY'RE DOING FOR TODAY'S
STUDENTS AS WELL AS TOMORROW
STUDENTS- BUT CANDIDLY WE GET
THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION ARE
STRUGGLING TO KEEP PACE WITH THE
ADMINISTRATIVE- AND
INFRASTRUCTURE STANDPOINT. WITH
ALL OF THESE NEW PROGRAMS AND
INITIATIVES. WELL SEVERAL OF
THESE NEW PROGRAMS THAT WILL
TALK ABOUT IN JUST A MOMENT HAVE
BEEN ONE TIME- THEY HAVE
SIGNIFICANTLY LENGTHY RUN AS-
FOR EXAMPLE THE LEARNING ALIGNED
IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS WILL BE
TALKING ABOUT. THAT IN THE
OVERSIGHT ITEM. INCLUDES AND
THIRTY ONE. THE GOLDEN STATE
GRANT PRO. WHICH WILL BE JUST.
IS SCHEDULED TO. ITS FINAL. IN
HASELEY AS TWENTY TWO SIX. AT
WHICH POINT WE THIS TO NAY
COMMISSION STILL HAVE. FOR
TRACKING COMPLIANCE OF PROGRAM
PARTICIPANTS OVER AN EIGHT YEAR
PERIOD AFTER TWENTY TWENTY SIX.
SO WHILE THESE PROGRAMS CAME
WITH SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING. TO
SUPPORT ADMINISTRATION THEY DID
NOT COME WITH ADEQUATE OR IN
SOME CASES ANY NEW STAFF
POSITIONS. HIRING LIMITED TERM
STAFF TO SUPPORT THESE PROGRAMS-
IT'S INEFFICIENT. INCREASE RISK
IN OUR ADMINISTRATIVE PROCESSES
AT THE COMMISSION. WE CAN ONLY
RETAIN LIMITED TERM STAFF FOR UP
TO TWENTY FOUR MONTHS AT A TIME
WHICH WILL CREATE A REVOLVING
DOOR OF NEW HIRES THAT WE NEED
TO RECRUIT. ONBOARD AND TRAIN
ONLY TO LOSE THEIR KNOWLEDGE AND
EXPERIENCE IN A RELATIVELY SHORT
TIME FRAME. SO WHAT WE'RE VERY
GRATEFUL- TO THE GOVERNOR AND
THE ADMINISTRATION FOR THEIR
SUPPORT FOR THE RESOURCES THAT
YOU JUST HEARD ABOUT IN CYBER
SECURITY THE ONE POSITION
ASSOCIATED WITH OUR- WORKLOAD
FOR THE FINANCIALLY PROGRAMS. WE
DON'T SEE THAT AS SUFFICIENT TO
REALLY INTERESTING THE STAFFING
AND INFRASTRUCTURE DEFICITS THAT
WE HAVE AT THE STUDENT AID
COMMISSION. IN THE FALL AS THE
TRAILER DEEPER NOTING WE HAD
REQUESTED SEVENTEEN TOTAL
POSITIONS OUTSIDE OF THE TO FOR
CYBER SECURITY THEY WERE REALLY
FOCUSED ON THIS PROGRAMMATIC
WORKLOAD NEEDS. THESE POSITIONS
ARE CRITICAL TO ENSURING OUR
SUCCESSFUL ADMINISTRATION AND
PROMOTION OF THESE PROGRAMS.
WITHOUT ADEQUATE STAFFING THE
STUDENT AID COMMISSION IS UNABLE
TO AS EFFECTIVELY IMPLEMENT
THESE NEW EFFORTS AND ENGAGE
OTHER PARTNERS TO LEVERAGE THESE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS AS WE
COULD BE OTHERWISE. ONE EXAMPLE
OF THESE IMPORTANT PARTNERSHIPS
THAT WORK FOSTERING THAT THE
COMMISSION IS AND HOW WE'RE-
SUPPORTING OUR LOCAL EDUCATION
AGENCIES AS THEIR IMPLEMENTING
THIS NEW UNIVERSAL APPROACH TO
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS. FOR
HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS. AT THE
STATE'S FINANCIAL AID
ADMINISTRATOR UNDERSTANDABLY
HIGH SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS ARE
COMING TO US LOOKING FOR
RESOURCES AND SUPPORT IN
PROMOTING FINANCIAL AID. HELPING
STUDENTS APPLY AND EQUIPPING
THEIR STAFF TO DO THIS WORK. THE
STUDENT AID COMMISSION HAS SEEN
A DEMAND. IN THE REQUEST FOR
ASSISTANCE. PRIEST FOR TRAINING
. ARE OUT REGION TO. AND OUR
DATA TEAM- BUT ALSO REQUEST FOR
RESOURCE. THAT COUNSELORS ON THE
GROUND CAN USE TO COMMUNICATE
WITH STUDENTS. THIS IS WHY THOSE
TOOL KITS THAT ARE SUPPORTED IN
THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSED BUDGET.
ARE SO ESSENTIAL THE PRACTICAL
ASSETS THAT HELP COUNSELORS
UNDERSTAND FINANCIAL AID IT'S
REALLY COMPLICATED AS WE WERE
SPEAKING TO- IN THE EARLIER
CONVERSATION ABOUT CAL GRANT-
AND IT'S REALLY ESSENTIAL TO
HELPING THEM PROMOTE FINANCIALLY
WORKSHOPS. AND OTHER INVESTMENTS
THAT THE STATE'S ALREADY
SUPPORTED THAT HELPS STUDENTS
APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID. SIMPLY
PUT FINANCIAL AID ASSISTANCE
REQUIRES PREPARED INDIVIDUALS
THAT CAN WORK WITH STUDENTS AND
FAMILIES. WE HAVE SOME GREAT
ONLINE RESOURCES- AND PLATFORMS
THAT ARE TREMENDOUS VALUE IN THE
DISTRICTS WHETHER UTILIZED AND
WE SEE THAT IS COMPLEMENTARY TO
THE KIND OF PHYSICAL MATERIALS
THE CANCERS CONTINUES. TO HELP
STUDENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY
NEED TO DO TO COME PREPARED AND
ARRIVE TO WORKSHOP READY TO
APPLY FOR A- RELATED TO THIS
ALSO BE DISCUSSING A ONE TIME
APPROPRIATION THAT WAS MADE IN
LAST YEAR'S BUDGET AROUND OUR
CASH FOR COLLEGE PROGRAM. WHERE
WE WORK WITH LOCAL PARTNERS
GRANTEES THAT HOST THESE
WORKSHOPS FOR STUDENTS AND I CAN
SHARE MORE THAT- ITEM ABOUT WHAT
THE IMPACT HAS BEEN SO FAR. THAT
WAS A ONE TIME APPROPRIATION
THIS WORK CONTINUES. HE MADE
ONGOING SO THAT WE CAN CONTINUE
DOING THAT WORK WITH OUR LOCAL
PARTNERS SO WITH THAT ALL UP
INCLUDE MY COMMENTS THERE AND
LOOK FOR YOUR QUESTIONS. OKAY
I'M GOING TO READ OFF WITH ONE
QUESTION. FOR YOU. WHICH IS- IT
RESPECT OF THE REQUEST FOR
POSITIONS. THAT ARE IN THIS
BUDGET. HOW ARE YOU DOING IN
FILLING THE POSITIONS YOU GOT IN
THE PREVIOUS BUDGET FOR THE
EXPANSION. YEP WE'VE FILLED ALL
BUT I THINK WE'RE DOWN TO TWO OF
THE POSITIONS THAT WE RECEIVED
IN THE LAST YEAR'S BUDGET HAVE
ALREADY BEEN FILLED. WE'VE HAD
SOME TURNOVER WITH THAT SUPERBAS
ORIEL POSITIONS OVER THOSE SO WE
WANTED TO INITIATE RECRUITMENT
PROCESS EASIER WHEN WE HAVE NEW
STAFF IN THE MANAGEMENT
POSITIONS IT'LL BE WORKING WITH
THOSE TWO- POSITIONS THAT WERE.
APPROVED LAST YEAR BUT HAVE NOT
YET BEEN FILLED IN. EXCUSE ME WE
KEEP TALKING ABOUT THE TOTAL
SEVENTEEN THAT YOU REQUESTED. DO
YOU BELIEVE THAT. ADDRESSES
WHEREVER YOU FEEL YOU WERE SHORT
STAFFED. THOSE ARE THE MOST
ESSENTIAL POSITIONS TO HELPING
TO DO THIS WORK IN FACT MANY OF
THOSE. TWELVE OF THOSE POSITIONS
ARE ALREADY LIMITED TERM
POSITIONS AT THE STUDENT AID
COMMISSION AND GO BACK TO THIS
REVOLVING DOOR ISSUE THAT I
CITED EARLIER. SO IN MOST
INSTANCES WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO
DO IS MAKE SURE THAT TWELVE THE
TWELVE OF THE SEVENTEEN YOU'RE
REQUESTING THAT'S CORRECT
REQUESTING LIMITED TERM POSITION
SO NOW WE HAVE THEM ALREADY
HIRED IS LIMITED TERM WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO IS CONVERT. THOSE
STAFF POSITIONS INTO PERMANENT
GIVEN THE RUNAWAYS ON THOSE
PROGRAMS AND THAT SOME OF THE
OTHER EXPANSION SOME OF THE
OTHER POLICIES. IN PERPETUITY
THOSE ARE NOT ONE TO. HIDDEN.
WHAT THE END OF THE LA TIME OF
TWELFTH. THE- BUDGET ACT PROVIDE
US WITH SOME RESOURCE WE COULD
USE TO HIRE THOSE POSITIONS IN
THE SECOND HALF OF THE CALENDAR
YEAR TWENTY TWENTY ONE. SO
SECOND HALF OF THIS YEAR WE'RE
GOING TO START TO SEE SEVERAL OF
THOSE POSITIONS PUSH UP AGAINST
THAT TWENTY FOUR MONTHS LIMITED
THAT WE HAVE ON THE LIMITED
LIMITED TERM FOR TWENTY FOUR
MONTHS NOT RELATED TO BUDGET
HERE. THAT'S CORRECT IT'S FROM
THE TIME OF THE HIGHER. AND SO.
PROBABLY SHOULD ASK ONE QUESTION
THAT WORKS TO SOLVE TOGETHER AT
THE BEGINNING AND IT'S TUMBLING
OUT SEPARATELY AND- THEN SO IF.
THESE LIMITED TERM POSITION
YOU'RE TRYING TO CONVERT OR
ALLOWED TO EXPIRE. IT WILL
DECREASE YOUR ABILITY TO
IMPLEMENT THE EXPANSIONS THAT WE
HAVE FUNDED. THAT'S CORRECT IT'S
GOING TO RESULT IN THE LOSS OF
THE EXPERIENCE AND THE KNOWLEDGE
BASE OF STAFF WHO HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON THESE PROGRAMS AND
SEVERAL INSTANCES. HELPED US
LAUNCH INITIATE THESE PROGRAMS
AT A TIME WHEN WE'RE STILL
MIDSTREAM AND THOSE PROGRAM KIND
OF SURPRISED BECAUSE I'M- BUDGET
ANALYST BY TRAINING AND
EVERYTHING IS TIED TO A YEAR.
IT'S NOT TIED TO THE LENGTH OF
THE POSITION CAN YOU MAKE IT
SOUND MARK. DITIONS GO. FOR FOUR
REGARDLESS OF WHERE THE BUDGET
HERE ANSWER STARTS IS THAT
RIGHT. YES WE'RE USING SOME OF
THE FUNDS THAT WERE GIVEN TO US
FOR ADMINISTRATION ON THE
PROGRAMS TO SUPPORT THOSE
POSITIONS CURRENTLY- BUT WE DO
SEE A NEED FOR US TO CONTINUE
BEYOND THAT TWENTY FOUR MONTH
PERIOD THAT WE HAVE. FOR ONE
LIMITED TERM HIGHER. I HAVE A
FEELING THAT YOU WANT TO TALK
EVEN IF I DON'T ASK YOU A
QUESTION SO WOULD YOU LIKE TO
COMMENT ON WHAT HE JUST SAID
ABOUT. THEIR NEED FOR THE
POSITION AND WHY YOU DIDN'T
RECOMMEND CONTINUING THIS
LIMITED TERM POSITIONS. I DON'T.
WE DON'T HAVE ANY SPECIFIC.
REMARKS AMERICAN ANSWER BUT
BASICALLY YOU DID NOT RECOMMEND
CONVERTING THESE LIMITED TERM
POSITIONS AND EVEN THOUGH WE'VE
EXPANDED THE PROGRAMS. UNDER THE
RECOMMENDATION IN THE BUDGET TO
STAFFING LEVELS WILL DROP. IS
THAT CORRECT. I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT WE DID THAT WITH ALL THE
BUDGET REQUEST FOR TWENTY THREE
FOR THIS. IS YOU'LL FIND
OPERATING A CONTACT OF MORE THAN
THE- RELATIVE TO PREVIOUS YEARS
THAT. SITUATION TO GET THAT BUT
IT SEEMS TO BE. A CLUE STATE.
SEEM TO BE IN THE- WHERE. HOPPER
IN THE DEFICIT FOR NOT
CONVERTING LIMITED TERM
POSITIONS AND WE EXPECT THAT THE
OPERATIONS WILL. DROP WHAT WISE
BUT POSITIONS WERE NOT ALLOWED
TO CAN. IN THE FACE OF ARCS. OF
THESE PRO. A. B. WILL LIMITED
TERM TO SIR. DIFFERENT THESE
FROM. AND YOUR OPERATE SAYING
THERE'S A- BUNCH OFFICE SO DON'T
HAVE TO EXTEND. BUT IT DOESN'T
SEEM LIKE THERE WAS A CLEAR SHE-
THAT WERE CUTTING. DID MANAGE
ABILITY TO. THE PROGRAMS THAT WE
HAVE FUNDED AT A HIGHER LEVEL
FOR THE STUDENT AID. AND THE- I
WOULD PER. A LEVELS ON THAT
BECAUSE YOU FOR CONTINUING TO
APPROPRIATE THE MONEY FOR
STUDENT AID AND WE'RE CUTTING
DOWN THE NUMBER OF POSITIONS
THAT ARE THERE TO IMPLEMENT IT.
THAT SHOULD BE IN OUR MIX OF
QUESTIONS TO TALK ABOUT AS WE
MOVE FORWARD IN THE BUDGET. I
WOULD JUST SAY THE OTHER THING.
YOU SEE THIS GIVEN TO THE PRESS
FOR THIS POSITION- YEAH. FREE
MINUTES TO INVEST ALLOWED. TO
TWENTY TWENTY TWO- AND ALSO
DESPITE AT THE BE READ AT LEAST
IN THE TIME. LEADING IT'S A. THE
STATE WHY I SO. THAT THE COULD
REVERSE I JUST EARLIER. HI WAS
THAT THE PERSON WOULD HAVE. TO
FILL SOME OF THE BIGGEST
COMMITTED ALSO SOUNDS THE NUMBER
OF VACANT. BETWEEN THE TIME THE
BUDGET FOR LOCKED AND NOW HAS
DOWN A BUNCH. I WOULD HAVE TO
ENSURE THAT WHAT HE JUST
TESTIFIED TO. THE JUST BECAUSE
THEY HAVING A LOT OF FUN DO YOU
WISH TO JOIN US AND ANY. AT THIS
TIME WE DON'T HAVE COME FROM THE
FOR THE THAT THEY COULD HAS THE
ON BUTTON. SIDES AT THAT WOULD
BE HAPPY TO WORK WITH STAFF TO
EVALUATE THOSE DOWN THE LINE IF
ISN'T THINK. I WOULD THAT
BECAUSE I TO FOR THE ANSWER TO
YOUR THE QUESTION. HE OPINED ON
WHAT IN THE BUDGET NOT NOT. ON
WHAT MY HAVE BEEN OR- AND DIDN'T
GET THE BUDGET AND YET WHAT WAS
. IS COULD EXIST POSITIONS WHICH
MAKE IT A LITTLE REBEL FOR YOUR
BOSS ONE. IN I THINK EVERY GONNA
STILL ANSWER QUESTIONS AND
EVERYBODY GONNA STILL TALK ABOUT
THIS SOME BUT ME- AS MOVE
FORWARD. I WOULD REALLY EVERY TO
GET ON THE SAME ABOUT WHAT THE-
ARE. AND IF THE FACT OR- THAT
LIMITED TERM. TO RECORD TO
CONTINUE. LIKE CLARITY ON THAT
RESIDENTS WAS JUST A STANDALONE
NEW POSITION REQUEST. AND IF
IT'S GOING TO LESSEN OUR
BUILDING TO DELIVER THE
SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WHICH THOSE
POSITIONS WERE ASSIGNED TO
ADMINISTER. I WOULD LIKE TO
CLEAR READING ON WITH TO
LESSENING OF THE ABILITY TO DO
THOSE SCHOLARSHIPS SO THAT WHEN
WE GET TO THE POINT OF TIME DOWN
THE BUDGET. WE HAVE ALL THOSE
FACTS IN FRONT OF US IN A WAY
DETECTION MATCH. SO AND-
OBVIOUSLY THAT THAT BUT- ANY OF
THE OTHER SENATORS HAVE ANY
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ON THIS
SITE. SENATOR SMALL WHAT
CRIMINAL JUSTICE AGREE WITH YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND I DID. I WANTED
TO GO BACK TO THIS I THINK IS
CONNECTED TO THE EARLIER
CONVERSATION THAT WE HAD- THE
SAID IN SO MANY OF THESE
HEARINGS ABOUT. THE NEED FOR
TEACHERS THAT NEED FOR NURSES
THE NEED FOR RIGHT AND SO THESE
ARE ROBUST PROGRAMS- THAT ARE
HELPING US NOT JUST EDUCATE THE
NEXT GENERATION BUT ALSO HELP US
ACHIEVE SOME OF THE- CHALLENGES
OF MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE
MOVING FOLKS INTO THESE MUCH
NEEDED VOCATIONAL- AN
OCCUPATIONAL GAPS SO. WE DON'T
WANT TO SET UP PROGRAMS FOR
FAILURE BY NOT HAVING THE
CORRECT LEVEL OF STAFFING- TO
INSURE THAT THESE ROBUST-
PROGRAMS MOVE FORWARD SO I LOOK
FORWARD TO THE EVALUATION AND
INFORMATION- SO THAT THE
PROGRAMS THAT WE ARE FINDING ARE
FULLY. I HAVE THE RIGHT
WORKFORCE MAKE THEM HAPPEN.
THANK YOU. SHARE COMMENTS ANYONE
ELSE AS A COMMONER QUESTION ON
THIS ITEM BEFORE WE MOVE ON.
SINGING ON. LET ME- THANK THE
PANELISTS WILL BE REMAINING FOR
THE NEXT ITEM. SO WE'RE GOING TO
MOVE ON TO THE GOLDEN STATE
EDUCATION TRAINING GRANT
PROGRAM. EXPENDITURES
EXPENDITURE SHIFT. AND THE PANEL
IS DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE DEVIN
MITCHELL LA OVERLY SICKENING
STUDENT AID COMMISSION JERRY
BREMNER AND I SHOULD SAY BEFORE
I GO TO MISTER MITCHELL.
YESTERDAY THE- SUB COMMITTEE HAD
A JOINT. HEARING OVERSIGHT
HEARING WITH THE EDUCATION
POLICY COMMITTEE ON THE SUBJECT
OF TEACHER RETENTION AND
RECRUITMENT. THIS CAME UP AND I
ALSO SORT OF ANNOUNCED IN THAT
HEARING THAT WE WERE GOING TO BE
CONSIDERING THIS TODAY SO WITH
THAT GO TO MISTER. MITCHELL WHAT
MAKES THIS IS THE GOLDEN STATE
EDUCATION TRAINING FOR PROGRAM
FORTY S. ISSUES. SO THE GOLDEN
STATE EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR
PROGRAM SUPPORTS. REDUCE FROM
EMPLOYMENT AS A CONSEQUENCE OF A
NINETY. WITH ONE TIME TWO
THOUSAND FIVE DOLLAR GRANT TAXES
EDUCATIONAL OR TRAINING PROGRAMS
INTENDED TO HELP GRANT
RECIPIENTS REJOIN THE WORKFORCE.
IT WAS ESTABLISHED IN THE TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO BUDGET. NOT
CONSISTENT WITH ESTIMATED
PROGRAM EXPENDITURES THE BUDGET
ASSUMES THAT ONE HUNDRED MILLION
GENERAL FUND PREVIOUSLY PROVIDED
FOR THE GOLD TO EDUCATION
TRAINING GRANT PROGRAM WANTS TO
BE SPENT IN TWENTY FOUR TWENTY
FIVE. AS OUTLINED IN THE FISCAL
PLAN TWO HUNDRED MILLION WOULD
BE EXPENDED IN FISCAL YEAR
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE ONE
HUNDRED MILLION IN TWENTY FIVE
TWENTY SIX AND ONE HUNDRED
MILLION IN TWENTY SIX TWENTY
SEVEN. THANK YOU. MUCH WILL GO
TO LISA KING FROM THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE.
THANK YOU. WHERE IS THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET PROPOSES TO
DELAY FUNDING FOR THIS PROGRAM
AND ALGIERI'S. WE RECOMMEND
DISCONTINUING THE PROGRAM AT THE
END OF THE CURRENT CASH. THE
MAIN REASON FOR THIS IS THAT THE
UNDERLYING NEED FOR THIS PROGRAM
HAS DIMINISHED. THIS PROGRAM WAS
CREATED A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO TO
SUPPORT WORKERS WHO ARE
DISPLACED BY THE COVERED
NINETEEN PANDEMIC. SINCE THAT
TIME THE UNEMPLOYMENT RATE HAS
DECREASED SIGNIFICANTLY AND IS
NOW COMPARABLE TO PRE KENDAMA
CLOSE. MOREOVER THE LABOR MARKET
HAS BEEN VERY FAVORABLE FOR JOB
SEEKERS SUCH THAT THOSE WHO LOSE
THEIR JOBS ARE LIKELY TO HAVE
OPTIONS TO STAY. WITHIN THE
LABOR MARKET RATHER THAN
RETURNING TO SCHOOL. THIS IS A
TRENDY YOU'VE LIKELY HEARD ABOUT
IN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT COMMUNITY
COLLEGE ENROLLMENT DECLINES FOR
EXAMPLE. RELATED TO THESE TRENDS
THE GOLDEN STATE EDUCATION
TRAINING GRANT PROGRAM IS
SERVING FAR FEWER RECIPIENTS
THAN ORIGINALLY INTENDED. FOR IS
THE ORIGINAL ALLOCATION FOR THIS
PROGRAM WAS SUFFICIENT TO
SUPPORT THE FULL AWARD FOR A
HUNDRED NINETY FOUR THOUSAND
RECIPIENTS. AS OF JANUARY ABOUT
FIVE THOUSAND RECIPIENTS HAVE
BEEN PAID. ABOUT 3% OF THE
INTENDED TOTAL. SEPARATE FROM
THE GOLDEN STATE EDUCATION
TRAINING GRANT PROGRAM DISPLAYS
REFERS TO ALSO HAVE OTHER
OPTIONS FOR ACCESSING AFFORDABLE
EDUCATION TRAINING. INCLUDING
BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE ON GOING
FINANCIALLY PROGRAMS WE'VE
DISCUSSED EARLIER IN THIS
HEARING. BASED ON PROGRAM
SPENDING DATA AS OF JANUARY WE
ESTIMATE THAT THERE WOULD BE
ROUGHLY A FOUR HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY MILLION. UNSPENT FUNDS
BY THE END OF THIS YEAR. AND
SOME OF THE LEGISLATURE TO
DISCONTINUE THE PROGRAM AND
REMOVE THOSE UNSPENT FUNDS THAT
COULD YIELD ROUGHLY FOUR HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY MILLION IN ONE TIME
SAVINGS THROUGH TWENTY TWENTY
SIX TWENTY SEVEN. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH PROJECTED
THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION. THE
COMMISSION IS SUPPORTIVE OF THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSED CHANGE
TO THE PROGRAM AND BELIEVE THERE
ARE SEVERAL OTHER MODIFICATIONS
THAT WE CAN MAKE TO PROGRAM
ELIGIBILITY- TO MAKE THE GOLDEN
STATE EDUCATION AND TRAINING
GRANT PROGRAM AND EVEN MORE
VALUABLE ASSET. TO THE TALENT
PIPELINE IN CALIFORNIA. THESE
GRANTS PLAY A VALUABLE ROLE IN
THIS SPACE AS AN ADDITIONAL TOOL
AND HOW WE CAN RECRUIT
INDIVIDUALS THAT MIGHT BE
CONSIDERING VARIOUS PATHWAYS TO
RESKILLING. AND FINDING A NEW
CAREER UNLIKE THE TRADITIONAL
FORMS OF FINANCIAL AID THAT OUR
COLLEAGUE AT ELLIE- JUST SPOKE
TO THESE GRANTS CAN BE USED AT
PROGRAM FOR ACADEMIC TRAINING
PROGRAMS THAT ARE NOT CURRENTLY
ELIGIBLE FOR FEDERAL OR STATE
AID. LIKE CAL GRANT. THESE
PROGRAMS INCLUDE ADULT EDUCATION
SHORT TERM PART TIME PROGRAMS
THAT ARE COLLEGES. AND
QUALIFYING WORKFORCE TRAINING
PROGRAMS THROUGH THE ELIGIBLE
TRAINING PROVIDERS LIST. BUT
ALSO HIGHLIGHT THESE GRANTS OF
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS PLAN
IMPORTANT ROLE IN HELPING
INDIVIDUALS COVER THEIR
EXPENSES. OUTSIDE OF TUITION OR
PROGRAM REGISTRATION FEES. WE
HEARD CLEARLY FROM PARTNERS IN
THE WORK FORCE AND CAREER
TRAINING SPACE THAT IS VERY
DIFFICULT TO FIND THIS KIND OF
FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR
INDIVIDUALS. EVEN WHEN THESE
PROGRAMS ARE SUPPORTED BY FUNDS
ARE BEING PROVIDED BY LOCAL OR
REGIONAL WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT
BOARDS. BECAUSE THIS PROGRAM IS
SO UNIQUE RELATIVE TO OTHER
TRADITIONAL FINANCIAL AID
PROGRAMS THAT WE ADMINISTER. THE
STUDENT COMMISSION WANT TO BE
VERY THOUGHTFUL IN HOW WE ROLL
THIS OUT LAST YEAR BASED ON
FEEDBACK FROM NATIONAL EXPERTS.
THE COMMISSION WANTS TO PILOT
PHASE OF THIS PROGRAM TO LEARN
WHAT WOULD WORK FOR THE TARGET
POPULATION AND TO BEGIN THE
PRIME PART PARTNERS LIKE
CAMPUSES. FOR THIS NEW KIND OF
PROGRAM. THEN THIS PAST AUGUST.
WE LAUNCHED A PUBLIC FACING PART
OF THE- MAKING A SKIP LOGIC
BASED FORM AVAILABLE ANY
POTENTIAL ELIGIBLE. WHAT THEY
PLAYED FOR. FINANCIAL OR WHETHER
THEY HAVE NOT. WHICH THE PILOT
PHASE AND THE WIDER APPEAL OF
APPLE. WE RECEIVE- OVER FIVE.
AWARDS THAT THAT HAVE BEEN
ISSUED ALMOST TEN THOUSAND TOTAL
APPLICATIONS AND THEN THIS PAST
MONTH WE FINALIZED A CONTRACT
FOR OUR REGION MARKETING ON THIS
PROGRAM. TO HELP REACH
POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE
INDIVIDUALS. THIS IS A VERY
DIFFICULT TO REACH TARGET
POPULATION AS THEY'RE NOT
CONNECTED TO ONE OF OUR
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS FOR
TRAINING PROVIDERS CURRENTLY. SO
WHAT WE'VE ENCUMBERED THE FUNDS
FOR THIS CONTRACT- WE'VE NOT YET
SEEN HOW THOSE EFFORTS ARE GOING
TO BEAR FRUIT- WE'RE USING A
NETWORK ACTIVATION APPROACH AND
WHICH WILL BE WORKING WITH
COMMUNITY PARTNERS AND STUDENT
AMBASSADORS. TO HELP BRING THIS
MESSAGE TO POTENTIALLY ELIGIBLE
INDIVIDUALS. AND OF COURSE IT
IS- ELLIE- NOTED- WE'RE RELIEVED
THAT THE WORST FEARS OF THE
ECONOMIC IMPACTS OF COVERT
NINETEEN. ON THE LABOR MARKET
HAVE NOT BEEN BORN OUT. AND AS
YOU KNOW IT'S ACTUALLY BEEN A
MUCH TIGHTER LABOR MARKET THAN
WE WOULD HAVE ANTICIPATED BACK
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE WHEN THE
ADMINISTRATION DEVELOPED A
PROPOSAL FOR THIS PROGRAM. THAT
OF COURSE IMPACTS THE NUMBER OF
ELIGIBLE INDIVIDUALS FOR THE
GRANT AND THE COMMISSION'S
ABILITY TO REACH THAT. AS WE
MOVE PAST THE DEEPEST IMPACTS OF
COVERT NINETEEN- AND LOOK TOWARD
POTENTIALLY EXTENDING THE
DURATION OF THIS PROGRAM. THE
COMMISSION RECOMMENDS THAT WE
CONSIDER MAKING CHANGES TO
EXPAND ELIGIBILITY FOR THE GRANT
SELF. SPECIFICALLY WE WOULD
RECOMMEND BROADENING ACCESS SO
THAT ANY INDIVIDUAL WHO'S BEEN
DISPLACED FROM EMPLOYMENT CAN
ACCESS THESE GRANTS WITHOUT
NEEDING TO ESTABLISH A
CONNECTION TO THE JOB LOSS AS A
RESULT OF THE PANDEMIC. THIS
CHANGE COULD HELP CALIFORNIA
POSITION ITSELF FOR ANY
POTENTIAL ECONOMIC CHALLENGES
THAT MIGHT BEAR OUT FROM THE
BROADER UNCERTAINTY- THAT YOU'RE
HEARING ABOUT IN THE CONTEXT OF
THE REVENUE FORECAST. SO WITH
THAT. ULTIMATELY MY COMMENTS
THERE. THANK. YOU GREAT THANK
YOU- I'M JUST S. FIRST THIS TIME
. IF ANY OF THE COME MEMBERS
HAVE QUESTION. SENATE MEN.
THAT'S A THE QUESTION IS A
COMMON I. THAT WE ARE FACING IT
SHORTAGE. IN THE STATE AND- I
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE THIS
PROGRAM- ONE THING I SAID
YESTERDAY AT OUR JOINT HEARING
THAT I JUST WANT TO REITERATE
IS. WHEN I TALK TO PROSPECTIVE
TEACHERS ONE BIG BURDEN THAT
THEY'RE LOOKING AT IS THE COST
OF HOUSING IN THE STATE SO ANY
PROGRAMS THAT WE CAN. THINK
ABOUT GOING FORWARD THAT ALSO
HELP WITH THE COST OF HOUSING
OBVIOUSLY GETTING RID OF STUDENT
LOAN DEBT IS HUGE. BY ANY
FINANCIAL INCENTIVES ARE HUGE
BUT JUST GIVEN THE BARRIERS TO
ACTUALLY LIVING IN A LOT OF
THESE COMMUNITIES- I WOULD JUST
ENCOURAGE YOU ALL TO THINK ABOUT
THAT AS WE GO FORWARD. AND
SENATOR SMALLWOOD CUEVAS FIVE-
THE EFFORT TO REALLY MAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY MORE RELEVANT TO-
THE WORK FORCE AND WORKING
STUDENTS I THINK- THERE WAS A
STUDY DONE BY THE UCLA CENTER
FOR THE ADVANCEMENT FOR RACIAL
EQUITY AT WORK THAT FOUND THAT.
IN WORKING CLASS COMMUNITIES
PARTICULARLY IN SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA- WHEN YOU LOOKED AT.
BLACK WORKING POPULATIONS IT
WOULD BE TEN YEARS BEFORE THAT
COMMUNITY WOULD ECONOMICALLY
RECOVER FROM COVE IT. SO DESPITE
THE NATIONAL SORT OF AVERAGE IN
MY DISTRICT WHEN YOU LOOK AT
BLACK UNEMPLOYMENT IS STILL
TWICE THAT OF WHITES IN. THE
COUNTY SO WE HAVE A LOT OF WORK
TO DO- I THINK IT IS SMART TO-
READJUST AND TO REALLY FIGURE
OUT HOW TO REACH THOSE HARDEST
HIT COMMUNITIES AND I REALLY
APPRECIATE- THE PROPOSAL AROUND
COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIPS. THOSE
COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS
THAT HAVE PROXIMITY AND
CREDIBILITY WITH THESE COMMUNITY
SO I'M CURIOUS- JUST WHAT IN
THIS PILOT. WHICH IS EXCITING TO
SEE THAT HOW IT HAS INCREASED
THE. DEMAND- WHAT IS IT WHAT DO
THE OF R. AND DE. MAKE UP OF
THESE PARTNERS THAT YOU ARE
BEGINNING TO BUILD THIS NETWORK
AROUND AND- AND WHAT PARTICULAR
SECTORS I HEARD EDUCATION FROM
MY COLLEAGUE- FROM ORANGE COUNTY
BUT CURIOUS TO WHERE DO YOU SEE
THE SECTORS THAT WOULD BE MOST.
IMPACTED BY THIS OPPORTUNITY
THANK YOU SENATOR- ALL ALL NOTE
THAT WEIRD- JUST NOW STARTING TO
IDENTIFY WHO THOSE COMMUNITY
PARTNERS ARE REACHES FINALIZE
THAT CONTRACT WITH OUR- REACH
PARTNER LAST MONTH- SO WE'RE
REALLY EXCITED TO GET TO WORK
WITH THEM IN REALLY MAKING SURE
THAT WE CAST A WIDE NET ACROSS
THE STATE AND THAT WE HAVE
COMMUNITY PARTNERS WERE
MOBILIZED. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
STATE WE WILL CERTAINLY BE
MINDFUL OF WHERE WE KNOW THERE
IS STILL THE DEEPEST IMPACT. ON
EMPLOYMENT FROM THE PANDEMIC AND
OTHER EFFECTS THAT WE CONTINUE
TO SEE BEAR OUT NOW- AND ARE
DOING SO IN A WAY TO THE POINT
YOU JUST RAISED. THAT WE
RECOGNIZE- FOR INDIVIDUAL WHO
ARE. OUT OF WORK THEY'RE NOT
CONNECTED TO ONE OF OUR
INSTITUTIONS RIGHT NOW IT REALLY
IS. CRITICAL THAT WE GO TO THEM
WITH A TRUSTED MESSENGER AND
SOMEONE WHO HAD PARTY HAS THOSE
ACCESS POINTS SO WE'RE BEING
VERY MINDFUL OF THAT AS WE WORK
TO IDENTIFY WHO THOSE PARTNERS
ARE AND I'M HAPPY TO FOLLOW UP
WITH YOU AS WE- PROGRESS IN
THAT- WHAT I CAN SHARE NOW IN
TERMS OF WHERE WE'RE SEEING. THE
INDIVIDUALS WILL ALREADY APPLIED
FOR THIS GRANT- OUTSIDE OF THAT
OUTREACH WORK ABOUT 88% OF THEM
GO TO A CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. ANOTHER EIGHT AND A
HALF PERCENT OR SO ALMOST 9% GO
TO A CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
AND FOR THE MOST PART THE
BALANCE OF. THE REMAINING
STUDENTS ARE GOING TO YOU SEE
PROGRAM AND AGAIN WHAT ON IT
THAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT THIS IS THAT
THESE GRANTS I CAUGHT A SIGNING
BONUS YOU GET THE TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLARS AS YOU ENROLL
INTO THE PROGRAM YOU DON'T HAVE
TO WAIT FOR SOME OF THE- THE
TYPICAL DISBURSEMENT. PRACTICES
AND FINANCIAL AID AND IT'S GOING
TOWARD ANY OF THE PROGRAMS THAT
OUR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS ARE
OFFERING SITE INCLUDES THE ADULT
ED. PART TIME SHORT TERM
PROGRAMS I MENTIONED AT THE
COLLEGES ALSO INCLUDES EXTENSION
CENTERS ARE FOR YOUR
UNIVERSITIES. WE THINK THAT'S A
REALLY. VALUABLE OPPORTUNITY
THAT WE'RE NOT CURRENTLY.
MEETING WITH WITHIN THE EXISTING
FINANCIALLY PROGRAMS. I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT AND THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE- BEING
PRIORITIZED IN IN THOSE IN THOSE
DOLLARS- HAVING WORKED WITH-
RETURNING CITIZENS WHO ARE
TRYING TO GET INTO THE
CONSTRUCTION SECTOR BOOTS AND
TOOLS COULDN'T AFFORD THAT
BECAUSE WE OWE IT DIDN'T COVER
THOSE COSTS SO I APPRECIATE- THE
FLEXIBILITY OF THESE FUNDS- TO
HELPFUL TO ME BUT I ALSO- WOULD
LOVE TO SEE. THAT THE PARTNERS
THAT YOU'RE BUILDING BECAUSE- IN
MANY COMMUNITIES THE TRADITIONAL
NETWORKS- FOLKS AREN'T. THINKING
MAYBE THEIR INTERNET. IS WORKING
MAYBE IT'S NOT. A. B- THE AFFORD
. YOU KNOW- TO GET OUT. TO THEIR
YOU KNOW LOCAL PAPER RIGHT SO
THEY DON'T HAVE THOSE AN OUNCE
MINTS IN ADVERTISEMENTS SO HOW
YOU COMMUNICATE WITH THOSE
HARDEST HIT. COMMUNITIES IS
REALLY IMPORTANT AND- IN SOME
WAYS IT'S OFTENTIMES THAT
NETWORK SO I WOULD LOVE TO SEE-
FROM- OUR OFFICE TO LOOK AND SEE
HOW. WHO ARE THOSE PARTNERS AND
HOW WERE THE REACHING- THOSE
COMMUNITIES THAT ARE
PARTICULARLY HARD TO REACH WHEN
WE ARE STILL IN THIS DEEP DEEP
RECOVERY SO THANKS ABOUT. OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS. GIVES ME
I WAS JUST GONNA SAY THAT. BY
THE COUPLE OF QUESTIONS BECAUSE
THE ALEJO- ANALYSIS ON THIS CAN
YOU DRESS THEM IN YOUR COMMENTS
SO I THINK WE'RE JUST GONNA HAVE
TO KEEP. ABREAST OF THIS FILM
THANK YOU. WE'RE GOING MOVE TO
ISSUE NUMBER THE GOLDENS TEACHER
GRANTS- DEVON. GOING TO BE A
SWITCH OUT AT THE LEGISLATIVE
ANALYST'S- THIS CONVEYOR. AND I
APOLOGIZE IS YOUR NAME ROCIO.
BAROQUE YOU. GROSS. OKAY THANK
YOU. I TRY TO DO THAT THE- AND
THEN J. BRIMMER. SO WE'RE GONNA
GO TO THE OF FIRST. SO. IN A
WORD UP TO TWENTY THOUSAND AND
GRANT. STUDENTS A PROBLEM
TEACHING GROUP YOU PUT ALL PER
ELSE CREDENTIAL. THE PROGRAM WAS
IT WAS IN START WITH AND TO TRY
TEACHER CAN INTO NEED TO LIKES.
TECH ENGINEERING MATH OF AND
EDUCATION- AMONG OTHER AREAS.
APPLICANTS MUST TO TEACHING AT A
HIGH SCHOOLS FOUR YEARS UNDER
CURRENT LAW. GOLDEN STATE WAS
ESTABLISHED TWENTY NINETEEN
BREAK BAND IN THE TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO BUDGET ACT WHEN IT
WAS SUPPORTED BY FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION GENERAL FUND. UP TO ONE
HUNDRED MILLION IS AVAILABLE
EACH YEAR TO BE SPENT ARE
ENCUMBERED BY JUNE OF TWENTY
TWENTY SIX. AT FULL SUBSCRIPTION
THE PROGRAM WOULD FIND AROUND
TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND NEW
EDUCATORS. ELIGIBILITY FOR THE
PROGRAM WAS EXPANDED LAST FALL
REMOVING THE REQUIREMENT TO
TEACH IN HIGH NEEDS FIELD AND
EXTENDING THE TIME THE
PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO COMPLETE
THE REQUIRED FOUR YEARS OF
TEACHING AT A PRIMARY SCHOOL
FROM FIVE YEARS TO EIGHT YEARS.
THE PROGRAM BECAME BETTER KNOWN
AN ELIGIBILITY EXPANDED LAST
FALL BREWING THE REQUIRE MOVING
THEIR WARRANTIES IN HIGH NEEDS
FIELD AND EXITING THE TIME THE
PARTICIPANTS I'M SO SORRY- DOING
PHONE. THREE THE COMMISSION
INDICATED FOR EXAMPLE IN THE IN
THE IN THAT IN THIS YEAR I'M
GONNA TAKE YOUR MATE FACT AND
THE FULL APPROPRIATIONS IN
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE. AND IT
IS POSSIBLE THAT ENROLLMENT IS
HIGH ENOUGH TO EXPAND AVAIL
RESOURCES FROM TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO TO ISSUE GRANTS. STILL THE
ADMINISTRATION BELIEVES THAT
ADDITIONAL ELIGIBILITY CHANGES
ARE WARRANTED. OUR PROPOSED
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE IS PART OF
GOVERNMENT'S BUDGET WOULD ONE
MAKE ELIGIBLE THOSE SEEKING
ELECTORAL EDUCATION CREDENTIALS
TO- REMOVE THE REQUIREMENT IT
SHOULD DESERVE IT A PRIORITY
SCHOOL. AND THREE MAINTAIN THE
FOR THE FOUR YEAR SERVICE
OBLIGATION NON PRIORITY SCHOOLS
WHILE LOWERING THAT OBLIGATION
TO THREE YEARS FOR PRIORITY
SCHOOLS. GIVEN THE SCALE OF THE
TEACHER SHORTAGE ACROSS THE
STATE AND THE WORK FORCE
CONCERNED EARLY EDUCATION IN
PARTICULAR. OUR GOAL WITH THIS
PROPOSAL IS TO ENSURE THE
PROGRAM APPROACHES FULL
ENROLLMENT. THE PROPOSAL ALSO
SEEKS TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR
APPLICANTS COMPLETE THEIR
SERVICE OBLIGATION WHILE STILL
MAINTAINING AN INCENTIVE TO WORK
AT SCHOOLS MOST IN NEED. THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
DISCUSS THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH- WILL MOVE TO THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST. DIRECTOR
AND I THINK IT'S A GOOD CABRAL
IS SOMEHOW HERE FOR BACKUP.
ALTHOUGH I HAVE BEEN IN THE
OFFICE FOR SIX YEARS I JUST
RECENTLY SWITCHED TO THIS
ASSIGNMENT SO I AM YOU. IT WAS
NOT A STATEMENT OF LACK OF
CONFIDENCE IN ANY WAY IN YOUR
BILL PLEASE PLEASE CONTINUE.
THANK YOU JACQUI BRISTOW AT THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE AS
MENTIONED- BY THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE- THE GOVERNOR'S BUDGET
DOES INCLUDE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD MAKE A
SERIES OF CHANGES TO BOTH THE
SERVICE REQUIREMENT BUT THAT
ALSO ELIGIBILITY FOR THE GOLDEN
STATE TEACHERS GRANT PROGRAM.
OVERALL WE RECOMMEND REJECTING
THESE PROPOSED CHANGES FOR THE
FOLLOWING REASONS ONE WHEN IT
RELATES TO THE EXPANDING OF THE-
OR CHANGING THE SERVICE
REQUIREMENT WHERE YOU'RE NO
LONGER STUDENTS ARE NO LONGER
REQUIRED. TO FUND TEACHER TO NON
PRIORITY OR AT A PRIORITY
SCHOOL- BUT THEN ALSO REDUCING
THEM IF THEY STILL CHOOSE TO
TEACHER PRIMARY SCHOOL REDUCING
THE NUMBER OF YEARS WE FIND
THAT. THOSE CHANGES OVERALL
UNDERMINE THE PRIMARY PROGRAM
OBJECTIVE- BEING THAT WE WANT TO
TARGET THESE TEACHERS AND THEIR
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS FOR
PRIORITY SCHOOLS THE SCHOOLS
THAT HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED AS
POTENTIALLY HAVING THE HIGHEST-
ISSUE WHEN IT COMES TO TEACHER
SHORTAGES. ADDITIONALLY WHEN IT
COMES TO THE ELIGIBILITY
EXPANSIONS- AS WAS MENTIONED C.
SACK CURRENTLY- TO THE EXTENT
THAT- APPLICATION TRENDS
CONTINUE AS THEY ARE LOOKING
LIKE TODAY. THEY MAY BE ON TRACK
OF NOT ONLY EXTENDING THE FIVE.
EXPENDING THE FUNDS EARLIER
THAN- ANTICIPATED OR HOW LONG
WE'VE- ALLOWED THEM TO FOR THE
FUNDS TO BE SPENT. TO GIVEN THAT
THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE A
DEMAND ISSUE. ON CHANGING THE
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. MAY
NOT MAKE SENSE AT THIS TIME. AS
IT RELATES TO BUT CHANGE OF
EXPANDING ELIGIBILITY TO INCLUDE
CERTAIN CHILD DEVELOPMENT
PERMITS WE FIND THAT. THAT
SPECIFIC CHANGES NOT LIKELY TO
BE AN EFFECTIVE WAY OF
ADDRESSING- EARLY EDUCATOR WORK
FORCE ISSUES SPECIFICALLY. THE
PROPOSAL EXCLUDES INDIVIDUALS
THAT MAY BE SEEKING THE MORE
ENTRY LEVEL- CHILD DEVELOPMENT
PERMIT TYPES THE ONLY PERMITS
THAT ARE INCLUDED WITH THE
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE FOR THOSE
THAT ARE REQUIRED OF MANAGERS
SUPERVISORS AND PROGRAM
DIRECTORS. ADDITIONALLY THE
PROPOSED CHANGES I WOULD REQUIRE
THAT AN INDIVIDUAL BECOME
CURRENTLY ENROLLED IN A
BACHELOR'S PROGRAM MEETING BACK
CURRENT TEACHERS WHO ARE NO
LONGER IN COLLEGE WOULD BE
EXCLUDED- FROM PARTICIPATING IN
THE PROGRAM. THANK YOU NO WILL
DETECT BERMAN ARTIST NAY
COMMISSION. GIVEN ROLE AS THE
ADMINISTRATOR OF THE PROGRAM AND
RESPONSIBILITY IN BRINGING THESE
RESOURCES TO ELIGIBLE
PARTICIPANTS I CAN COMMENT ON
HOW THESE PROPOSED CHANGES MAY
IMPACT THAT WORK HOWEVER YOU'LL
HAVE OTHER PANELISTS HERE TODAY
WHO ARE. BETTER SUITED TO SPEAK
TO YOU ABOUT THE BROADER
QUESTION OF THE IMPORTANCE OF
EXPANDING THE RESOURCES TO THESE
PROFESSIONAL PROGRAMS. WE HAVE
SEEN AS OUR COLLEAGUES AT BOTH
D. ELEVEN ELIA NOTED A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN THE
NUMBER OF INDIVIDUALS SEEKING
THESE GRANTS AS WE'VE GONE FROM
YOUR ONE OF IMPLEMENTING THE
FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLAR
APPROPRIATION. AND THAT'S WE'VE
ALSO SEEN THAT EXPANSION THAT-
DEVON NOTED IN TERMS OF.
INDIVIDUAL ELIGIBILITY FOR THE
GRANTS. SO NOW AT THIS TIME IS
AS- ELLIE- HAS NOTED- WE'RE
ACTUALLY ON OUR CURRENT
TRAJECTORY ON PACE TO FULLY
EXTINGUISH THE CURRENT
APPROPRIATION- SOMETIME IN THE
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE-
BUDGET YEAR. IF WE WERE TO
FURTHER EXPAND UP ELIGIBLE AS- A
PROPOSED HERE- OF COURSE THOSE
FUNDS ARE LIKELY TO BE EXHAUSTED
EVEN MORE QUICKLY. FROM AN
IMPLEMENTATION PERSPECTIVE ALL
NOTE THAT EACH YEAR OF THIS
PROGRAM THERE HAVE BEEN CHANGES
MADE THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS
TO AMEND PROGRAMMATIC
ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS. THIS
CREATES TWO CONSIDERATIONS FOR
US AT THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION
ONE IS AROUND COMMUNICATIONS-
IT'S CHALLENGING TO MAKE THE
SYMBOL FOR POTENTIAL GRANT
RECIPIENTS WHEN THERE ARE SO
MANY. OTHERS ONGOING CHANGES AND
THEN OF COURSE WE'RE GOING BACK
AND NOTIFY OUR PARTNERS ABOUT
THOSE CHANGES SO THAT THEY CAN
COMMUNICATE THAT AS WELL. THE
SECOND IS THAT A FROM AN
IMPLEMENTATION AND WORKLOAD
PERSPECTIVE YOU HEARD ME SPEAK
TO THAT STAFFING CHALLENGES AT
THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION RIGHT
NOW. EACH ROUND OF CHANGES
BRINGS WITH IT A NEW WORKLOAD TO
ADJUST TOWARD. AND THAT HAS NOT
BEEN ASSOCIATED THE CHANGES HAVE
NOT BEEN ASSOCIATED WITH ANY
CONSIDERATION FOR ADMINISTRATIVE
. FUNDING OR STAFFING AROUND THE
PROGRAM. ADDITIONALLY THESE PER
WOULD SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND THE
NUMBER OF SITES THAT THE STUDENT
AID COMMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE
PREPARED TO ACCOUNT FOR. AND HOW
WE ASSESS AN INDIVIDUAL'S
COMPLIANCE WITH THE TERMS OF
RECEIVING A GRANT- THIS WILL
ALSO EXPAND OUR WORKLOAD AND
RESPONSIBILITIES AS WE MOVE
TOWARD TRACKING. THEIR SERVICE
CONTRIBUTION. WHAT THIS PROGRAM
IS ONE TIME IN NATURE YOU HEARD
ME SAY THIS IS ONE OF THOSE
PROGRAMS HAS A REALLY LENGTHY
FOR RUNAWAY- CURRENTLY EIGHT
YEARS THAT WE TRACK AN
INDIVIDUAL'S COMPLIANCE AFTER
THEY RECEIVE AN AWARD WE CAN BE
PAYING OUT STUDENTS. AS LATE AS
TWENTY TWENTY SIX. WHICH MEANS
WE REALLY STILL HAVE ANOTHER
DECADE OF IMPLEMENTATION FOR
THIS PROGRAM AHEAD OF US. ALSO
NOTE THAT THERE ARE SOME
TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT WE WOULD
NEED TO ADDRESS SHOULD THE
LEGISLATURE. AND GOVERNOR WHICH
TO PURSUE THE EXPANSION THAT'S
BEEN PROPOSED HERE. FOR EXAMPLE
WE WOULD NEED TO RESOLVE HOW THE
TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE I'M ASK
THE STUDENT AID COMMISSION. TO
VIEW THE COMPLIANCE TO PROGRAM
REQUIREMENTS FOR AN INDIVIDUAL
THAT CHANGES A TEACHING FROM A
PARTY SCHOOL TO A NON PRIORITY
SCHOOLS SO FOR EXAMPLE. AFTER
TWO YEARS AT A PARTY SCHOOL HOW
MANY YEARS LEFT- DO THEY HAVE I.
TEACHING AT A NON PRIORITY
SCHOOL- WE OF COURSE STAND READY
TO IMPLEMENT THE EXPANSION
THAT'S PROPOSED HERE. BUT AFTER
THE GOVERNOR OF THE
ADMINISTRATION AND LEGISLATURE
HOLD IN MIND THESE
CONSIDERATIONS AS WE IDENTIFY
THE NECESSARY RESOURCES TO CARRY
THIS OUT. AND OUR COLLECTIVE
EXPECTATION ON. THE AVAILABILITY
OF THESE FUNDS MOVING FORWARD.
THANK YOU. THANKS TO ALL THREE
OF YOU IN ORDER TO MEMBERS
QUESTIONS IN THE SECOND IN MY
ONE QUESTION THAT I BROKE DOWN
BEFORE THE HEARING. WAS WHEN
WE'RE GOING TO RUN OUT OF MONEY
AND HOW WE'RE GOING TO HANDLE IT
AND IT SORT OF GOT IT THE
RUNNING OUT OF MONEY GOT
ADDRESSED. THE SORT OF HANDLED
THE TALKED ABOUT HOW YOU WOULD
HANDLE IT BUT- SOME. MONEY PUT A
FINER POINT ON IT DOES IT JUST.
STOP ANY NEW GRANTS AND YOU
TRIED TO ADMINISTER THE EXISTING
ONE CENTER AVE AND TO STATUS
STATUS OF WHAT HAPPENS IF WE RUN
OUT OF MONEY. THAT WOULD
ESSENTIALLY BE A SENATOR YEAH.
WE WOULD HAVE NO FUNDS TO AWARD
BUT WE WOULD STILL OF COURSE
HAVE THAT RESPONSIBILITY FOR
TRACKING. A PROGRAM PARTICIPANT
COMPLIANCE WITH THE
REQUIREMENTS. OKAY QUESTIONS OF
COMMITTEE MEMBERS. AT. SENATOR
SMALL LIQUID A FEW THINKING
CHAIR- IT. OUR I WANTED TO JUST
CLARIFY. WHAT AND I KNOW THIS IS
AGAIN GOING INTO FOUR CASTING-
BUT THE IMPACT ON HIGH PRIORITY
SCHOOLS- ENDS. THESE SCHOOLS ARE
HIGH PRIORITY BECAUSE- DAY
SERVE- OFTEN- HIGH NUMBERS OF
FOSTER YOUTH IN AN HOMELESS USE
THAN- YOUTH WHO- ARE AT AND
BELOW THE POVERTY LINE AND THOSE
OVERLAPPING CONDITIONS- DEEPLY
DEEPLY IMPACT THEIR- EDUCATION
ACHIEVEMENT- AND SO. TO REMOVE.
THE PRIORITY- THERE WILL BE AN
IMPACT ON THAT I'D DETRIMENTAL
IMPACT ON THOSE- CAMPUSES- AS
ALSO SHORTENING THE AMOUNT OF
TIME THIS PROGRAM IS THERE- A
SENSE OF WHAT IN THIS PROPOSAL
WILL OFFSET BACK. TO THOSE HIGH
PRIORITY SCHOOLS IS IT IN THE IN
THE CONVERSATION WE HAD
YESTERDAY WAS CLEAR THIS IS A
VERY POPULAR PROGRAM THAT WE SEE
TEACHERS WANTING TO PARTICIPATE-
IN THIS PROGRAM IN FACT THERE
PROBABLY SHOULD BE MORE
RESOURCES IN THIS PROGRAM AND
THAT NGUYEN- THERE IS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE THOSE
TEACHERS WHO ARE OFTEN OF COLOR
. STAY IN THOSE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AGAIN CREATING STABILITY AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THOSE STUDENTS
SO TO ME THIS SEEMS. LIKE A GUT
PUNCH. TO THESE HIGH PRIORITY-
STUDENTS- SO I JUST WANT TO HEAR
FROM YOU WHAT WHAT IS THE WAY
WE'RE GOING TO OFFSET. THAT WITH
THESE PROPOSED CHANGES IN YOUR
ESTIMATION OF ADMINISTERING THE
BEST AND I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S
AN ALEJO. FINANCIAL DEPARTMENT
QUESTION AND THEN WE'LL COME
BACK TO FINANCIAL AID MAYBE
WE'LL START WITH THE FINANCIAL
DEPARTMENT. SO. I MEAN I THE
BLUE THERE WOULD STILL BE UNDER
THE PROGRAM AN INCENTIVE
EDUCATION OF PRIMARY SCHOOL.
THERE THAT IT JUST BE THREE YOU
WOULD YOU WOULD. YOU KNOW THAT
THE CHANGES ARE DESIGNED TO MAKE
THE PROGRAM MORE FRIENDLY TO
APPLICANTS AND ADDRESS THE
CONCERNS THEY HAVE ABOUT
COMPLETING THEIR SERVICE
OBLIGATION ALL TOGETHER. AND SO
THEY WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO
TEACH TO FILL THEIR OBLIGATION
TO THE GRANT PROGRAM TO TEACH
FOR THREE YEARS AT A PRIMARY
SCHOOL AND FOUR YEARS FOR ANY
OTHER SCHOOL- SO I MEAN IT'S
HARD TO SAY EXACTLY WHAT THE
WHAT THE CHURCH HAVE AFFECTED
THE CHANGES WOULD. WOULD BE IN
TERMS OF WHAT THE BREAKDOWN OF.
WHERE THESE- APPLICANTS WOULD
TEACH ME WE WILL BE ABLE TO SEE
THAT FOR YEARS RIGHT BECAUSE
THEY NATURE OF ALL THE STATUS
THAT. IT'S JUST IT MEAN THAT HE
WHO ARE IN THE PROGRAM ARE ARE
PROBABLY. MAYBE SORRY TO BE
PLACED INSTANCE AND I COULD
ACTUAL TEACHERS SCHOOLS SO-
BEGIN THE IDEA WITH THE WITH THE
CHANGES IS TO. WE'RE REALLY
FINANCES VERY PLEASED
DEMONSTRATIONS PLEASED TO SEE
THAT IT'S IMPORTANT BUT WE JUST
WANT TO MAINTAIN THAT AND SO
THAT THE ELIGIBILITY EXPANSIONS.
ARE DESIGNED WITH THAT PURPOSE.
THAT'S WHAT I'M HEARING YOU SAY
THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE AN
IMPACT ON THE HIGH PRIORITY
SCHOOLS. IS IT BECAUSE THAT'S
ULTIMATELY WHAT I'M SAYING IS
THAT THIS CHANGE. WILL CREATE AN
IMPACT WHETHER IT'S- CERTAINLY
THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS WHO WILL
NOT BE IN THE PRIORITY WHO WILL
CHOOSE TO OPT OUT OF HIGH
PRIORITY SCHOOLS NUMBER ONE. AND
NUMBER TWO THOSE WHO DO IT
SHORTENS THE LENGTH OF TIME OF
THEIR OF THEIR OF THEIR
ENGAGEMENT ON THAT. CAMPUS
THROUGH THIS PROGRAM- SO. THERE
IS GOING TO BE AN IMPACT ON HIGH
PRIORITY SCHOOLS AND I AND I
GUESS MY QUESTION WAS. YOU KNOW
HOW WE MONETIZE WITH THAT IMPACT
WILL BE BECAUSE- CERTAINLY WE
ARE WE ARE INVESTING IN TRYING
TO RAISE AND LIFT THE STANDARDS
OF THOSE SCHOOLS AND IF WE PULL
THAT. BENEFIT OUT IT IS GOING TO
BE IN WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
NEGATIVE FINANCIAL AND
EDUCATIONAL IMPACT ON THE OTHER
SIDE- BY LIMITING- THE
OPPORTUNITIES. FOR HAVING FULL.
CONTRIBUTION AND INVESTMENT
FEES- THESE THESE TEACHERS IN.
THE IN IN THIS HIGH PRIORITY
SPACE SO I. I HEREBY I HEAR THE
RATIONALE BUT I ALSO I'M HEARING
THAT THERE IS GOING TO BE A
DIRECT IMPACT AND HELPING AND
MOVING US FURTHER AWAY FROM HER
GOAL WHICH IS. TO LIFT UP THESE
HIGH PRIORITY SCHOOLS BUT I
DON'T KNOW THE ONLY A WANTS TO
COME IN AND THEN WE'LL HEAR FROM
THE- I THINK THAT THAT'S ONE OF
THE BASIS OF OUR RECOMMENDATIONS
TO REJECT IS THAT THE PRIMARY
PROGRAM OBJECTIVE IS FOCUSING ON
PRIORITY SCHOOLS. AND THE
SERVICE REQUIREMENT ATTACHED TO
THAT IS BECAUSE THE SCHOOLS-
WHERE YOU'RE AT LEAST 55% OF
STUDENTS ARE ENGLISH LEARNERS
LOW INCOME OR FOSTER ARE
INVOLVED IN THE FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM. IS IN AN ATTEMPT TO
ADDRESS- DISPARITIES WHEN IT
COMES TO TEACHER SHORTAGES AND
HOW THOSE DISPARITIES ARE HIGHER
AMONG CERTAIN SCHOOLS- SO OUR
RECOMMENDATION IS BASED OFF OF
MAINTAINING THE SERVICE
REQUIREMENT. THAT IS THE INITIAL
PURPOSE OF THE PROGRAM OVERALL.
ZACKS COMPLETELY REQUESTED US.
THANK YOU US SENATOR MEANT. I
WANTED TO FOLLOW UP ON THE SAME
LINE- I GUESS. IN THE ABSENCE OF
BUDGETARY CONSTRAINTS IT MAKES
PERFECT SENSE TO DO WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING- BUT
I'D BE INTERESTED IN HEARING THE
DEPARTMENT'S FINANCES RESPONSE
OR C. SIX RESPONSE TO THE
CONCERNS RAISED BY THE LA- IN
PARTICULAR THIS ONE LINE CAUGHT
MY ATTENTION THAT. BASED ON C.
SIX PROJECTIONS AND THIS IS FROM
THE ELIO- ON PAGE TWENTY ONE OF
OUR HOUSES- BASED ON C. SIX
PROJECTIONS DEMAND LIKELY IS
SUFFICIENT UNDER THE CURRENT
PROGRAM STRUCTURE TO FULLY
SPEND. GRANT FUNDS BY THE
EXPENDITURE TAP TIMELINE AND
POSSIBLY SOONER SO GIVEN THE
SCARCITY OF FUNDS. DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE TO ESSENTIALLY DIVERT A
LOT OF FUNDS AWAY FROM MY
FORGETTING LIKE THE EXACT
NUMBERS I KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE
THAT BUT BUT THIS IS A THIRTY
THOUSAND FOOT LEVEL PRIORITY
DOESN'T MAKE SENSE TO BE MOVING.
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF FUNDS
AWAY FROM PRIORITY SCHOOLS WHERE
WE NEED TO TEACHERS THE MOST- TO
THIS PROGRAM AT A TIME WHEN
WE'RE FACING A BUDGET SHORTFALL.
AT A TIME WHEN ACCORDING TO LA-
AND I PRESUME THIS IS YOU KNOW
THERE'S NO REASON. QUESTION THIS
THAT WE'RE GONNA RUN OUT OF
MONEY. SUMPTER TO FINANCES YOU
COULD TAKE THAT. THE POINT I
MEAN THE FACT THAT IT'S THE
TRIBE IS GOOD NEWS IS IT IN THE
PARKING IS A SIX. SO I WOULD
JUST SAY SAVE THE FRAME AND A
SLIGHT DIFFERENT IT'S A WE THE
BOTTOM. OUT THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
RIGHT THEN WE DEPRIVING THE
PRIOR RISK THE TEACHER NEEDED.
FOR SELF BUT I MEAN SORT OF IN
YOUR WANT THE PROGRAM
UNDERSTOOD. SO THESE. WERE MADE
IN ITS ITS IT'S DIFFERENT AS I
SAID AS A PER BECAME BETTER
KNOWN- AND THEN THE OTHER. POINT
IS THAT ME THERE IS TEACHER SURE
AT ALL SCHOOL. I MEAN AFTER THE
STATE NOT JUST THE PARTY SCHOOLS
IT'S GETS IN A- PROBLEM AT. HIM
WAYS AND. SO BUT IT'S MOSTLY
RIGHT AT THE PRIMARY SCHOOL
WHICH IS WHY PRIORITIES. RIGHT
RIGHT. WE SORT OF HER. IN OUR
OVERSIGHT HEARING THAT A LOT OF
PEOPLE ARE. IT FOR THE PRIORITY
SCHOOLS OTHERS. CREATING WHEN
THERE'S A- SO THAT'S HOW THE-
PRIORITIES. JUST WE JUST. AND I
GUESS IT JUST TOOK. I MEAN A
IT'S ON LIKE THAT WILL BE
THERE'S NOT A LIKE A UNLESS YOU
ADDITIONAL THINGS THAT I GUESS I
WOULD TO EXPRESS MY CONCERN.
WITH THIS APPROACH- BASED ON THE
ANSWER I'M HERE- ON WHAT I'M
HEARING FROM ALL PARTIES HERE. I
HAVE A SNEAKING. SOMEBODY- FROM
THE- OF. MIGHT HAVE A CO. YES
TOLD HER FINANCE I DO WANT TO
ABOUT THE SCONCE OF RUNNING OF
MONEY- SALUTE PER IS STRUCTURE.
IS THAT THE INTENT WAS TO
PROVIDE SERVICE FOR A HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS PRIDE IN THE
PROGRAM WHEN WE CREATED THE
PROGRAM. I CAN BE SPENT IN
ANYONE FISCAL YEAR. IS LIMITED
TO ONE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS.
IN THE PAST YEAR. WE ONLY SPENT
ABOUT HALF OF THAT ALLOCATION.
IN THE CURRENT YEAR BUT BELIEVE
A DAILY- MENTIONS AND IT'S IN
YOUR AGENDA. FOR FIRST TO-
EXPENDING THE MONEY FROM THE
PAST YEAR. SO IN YEAR THREE OF
THE PROGRAM WHICH IS NOW TWENTY
TWENTY THREE TWENTY FOUR. WITH
THESE PROPOSED CHANGES WOULD
TAKE EFFECT. THAT APPLIES THAT
ONE MILLION DOLLAR POOL AND THEN
THERE WILL BE A FOURTH YEAR AND
THEN THERE WILL BE A FIFTH YEAR.
AND THEN MAYBE FUTURE YEARS P.
ON THAT PROGRAM. BUT BEYOND THAT
TIMELINE RATHER. AND THE GOAL OF
THESE CHANGES TO IS TO ENSURE
THAT FULL SUBSCRIPTION. TO
INCREASE THE NUMBER OF TEACHERS
ENTERING THE PROFESSION WRIT
LARGE AND TO ADDRESS THIS
ONGOING TEACHER SHORTAGE. SO TO
SAY THAT THE MONEY'S GOING TO BE
SPENT IN THE BUDGET YEAR THERE'S
GOING TO THIS CLASS THE PROGRAM
. IT'S NOT THE CASE I WANT TO
ADD HE WAS SURE THE COMMITTEE.
THAT THAT IS. NOT WHAT'S GOING
TO BE HAPPENING IN THE BUDGET
YEAR THERE WILL BE ADDITIONAL
YEARS OF FUNDING AND POTENTIAL
BEYOND THAT DEPENDING ON. WHAT
CHOICES ARE MADE HERE IN THIS
BUILDING. I GUESS MAYBE JUST
THAT OR WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. I
THINK WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THE
PROGRAM SUCCESS- IT WILL. ALLOW
COLLAPSE BUT I DON'T THINK. HAS
MAKING SOME I'M THINKING. MAYBE
I'M NOT UNDERSTANDING SCREW BUT-
IS IT RIGHT THAT UNDER THIS. THE
PRO. THAT FUNDS. AND LIKE THE BE
SHE- AWAY FROM PRIORITIES. AND
AT THE MOMENT WHEN THE FUNDING
RAN OUT. AND WAS FULLY USE THAT
THAT YOU KNOW THERE'S FIVE
HUNDRED ONLY GETS YOU ONLY SO
FAR IT ONLY GETS SO MANY.
TEACHERS UNDER THIS PROGRAM SO-
IS IT RIGHT THAT THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSAL HERE YOUR PROPOSAL
WOULD. SHIFT FUNDS AWAY FROM
PRIMARY SCHOOLS. IT'S UNCLEAR.
WHAT BEHAVIOR AMONG PARTICIPANTS
WOULD BE. IS ENTIRELY LIKELY
THAT SOME OF THOSE STUDENTS
WOULD CHOOSE TO NOT. TEACH AT
PRIMARY SCHOOL. HOWEVER ONE OF
THE MAJOR CONCERNS WE'VE HEARD
FROM PARTICIPANTS. IS THAT THEY
ARE ON SURE AS TO WHETHER THEY
CAN COMPLETE THEIR ENTIRE
SERVICE REQUIREMENT AT A PRIMARY
SCHOOL. WHICH WOULD THEN CREATE
A FINANCIAL LIABILITY TO THAT
PARTICIPANT. IN WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE IS- TAKE THAT
OFF THE TABLE AND GIVE OUR OF
OUR WOULD BE TEACHERS THE
CONFIDENCE THAT THEY'RE GOING TO
BE ABLE TO ENTER THIS
PROFESSION. AND. I MET UP WITH
THE BILL AT THE END. YOUR PHONE
. CENTRO TROUBLED. THINK I JUST
WANNA WRAP UP REALLY QUICKLY I.
CAN ARE MY CALL HAVE. AND WHAT I
YOU TRIED TO. SO THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE IS TRYING TO. THE SO
IT'S MORE READILY AVAILABLE TO
MORE CAN. AND HAVE IT SENT TO
MORE TEACHERS OCCUR INTO THE-
AND BE ABLE BEAM. WIDELY OF-
WERE MIKE. ARE THAT BECAUSE OF
THOSE CHANGES THEY WOULD BE LESS
TEACHERS- COMPELLED TO STAY AT A
PRIORITY SCHOOL BUT WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING IS THAT IT DOESN'T
NECESSARILY MEAN THAT THESE.
PARTICIPANTS CAN'T STAY AT THOSE
FOR PRIORITY SCHOOLS. DURING
THOSE FOR. THOSE FOUR YEARS AS
CORRECT. YEAH OR OR HERE IS TO
THE. PARTICIPANTS HAVE MAXIMUM
FLEXIBILITY THAT WERE ABLE TO
GET MORE TEACHERS AND FOR. THAT
PART IS HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THEIR
ABILITY CLICK AND THAT SERVE
QUORUM- AND NOTHING BURKE ANY
PARTICIPANT FROM REMAINING AT A
AT A PRIMARY SCHOOL- AT WHAT IT
WOULD DO IF AS IN THE CASE. THE
OPPOSITION WASN'T AVAILABLE THEY
WOULD STILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE
TO MAKE PROGRESS ON THEIR
SERVICE REQUIREMENTS. GOT IT AND
THEN THE OTHER THE OTHER OF THE
BILLING FOR WHEN THAT THE POINT
THAT YOU FOLKS MADE THAT I. KIND
OF UNDERSTOOD IS THAT. THE
PROGRAM ACTUALLY HAS ENOUGH
MONEY RIGHT NOW YOU'RE NOT FULLY
UTILIZING THE FUNDS RIGHT NOW
BUT YOU PERSONALLY FOR SEE THAT
AS THE PROGRAM BECOMES MORE
POPULAR. AND AS THE INTENT IS
TO- EDUCATE- WE HAVE- A BROADER
OUTREACH THAT IT WILL BE MORE
FULLY. IMPLEMENTED IT CAN'T PLAY
IN THE IN IN THE IN THE SHORT
LONGER TERM. IT'S NOT AT ALL-
JEOPARDIZE AS BEING AVAILABLE
THERE FOR FUTURE TEACHER
DEVELOPMENT. PROBABLY YES SO.
THE WAY IT IS NOW WE HAVE
REACHED ALREADY PEERS THAT WE
WILL SPEND THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF
FUNDING AVAILABLE IN THE CURRENT
YEAR. WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
ENTIRE. SUPPLY OF. WOULD BE
EDUCATORS IS- AND WHAT THIS
CHANGE WILL DO IS ESSENTIALLY
ALLOW US TO REACH FULL SET OR
MORE LIKELY TO REACH FULL
SUBSCRIPTION IN EACH YEAR OF
THIS PROGRAM. BECAUSE AGAIN THE
THERE'S A LOT OF PRESSURE IT'S
OF QUALIFIED EDUCATORS ACROSS
THE STATE. AND WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE CONTINUING TO
TELL A 100% PIPELINE USING THAT
MONEY GETTING TEACHERS IN THE
CLASSROOM SOLVING THIS PROBLEM
AND NOT HAVING- ELIGIBILITY
CRITERIA. THAT ME AT THIS POINT
WE SUFFICIENT TO MAINTAIN FULL
SUBSCRIPTION. IN THE FUTURE AS
WE YOU KNOW SORT OF. USE THE
SUPPLY OF WOULD BE TEACHERS AS
WE EXIT IS A EXCEPT- BACHELOR'S
DEGREE PROGRAMMES. WAS THE
RESKILLING FROM OTHER
PROFESSION. WE JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE GETTING THIS
MONEY OUT THE DOOR GETTING AS
MANY TEACHERS AND OUR TEACHER
CANDIDATES INTO PREPARATION AS
POSSIBLE. SENATOR SMALLWOOD
QUICKNESS. THERE WAS A
CONVERSATION AND- THAT WE HAD
LAST NIGHT AND IT WAS LIFTING UP
L. A. U. S. D. AND HOW. YOU KNOW
FOURTH IN EIGHTH GRADE READING
LEVELS RIGHT. HELP PERFORM THE
REST OF THE COUNTRY PLACES LIKE
FLORIDA AND TEXAS. THIS PROGRAM
WAS DESIGNED. TO HAVE A WIN WIN
. MEANING WE PROVIDE RESOURCES.
AND TEACHERS COME IN AND-
THROWDOWN IN HIGH PRIORITY
SCHOOLS. AND I THINK THE IT'S
THESE KIND OF PROGRAMS THAT ARE
HELPING TO CREATE THE RESULTS
THAT WE'RE STARTING TO SEE IN
SOME OF OUR HARDEST HIT
DISTRICTS. L. A. U. S. D. 80% OF
THE- ARE AT BELOW THE POVERTY
LEVEL. IF WE HAVE THE RESOURCES
AND THESE ARE PRECIOUS RESOURCES
THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THEIR
PRECIOUS RESOURCES WERE TALKING
ABOUT HOW WE'RE GOING TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE CAN CONTINUE TO
PROVIDE THEM WE HAVE TO ENSURE
THAT WE'RE PUTTING THEM. IN AN
OP IN A PLACE WHERE WE CAN HAVE
THE GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO
MULTIPLY OUTCOMES. AND TO ME. IT
IS ABOUT THE TEACHER SHORTAGE AS
MUCH AS IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE
THAT THE HIGH PRIORITY SCHOOLS
ARE COMING OF THESE ARE TWO THIS
IS A PROGRAM THAT IS MEETING TO
. IMPORTANT INTERSECTIONAL
CHALLENGES AND WE TOO OFTEN WE
DON'T HAVE PROGRAMS THAT ADDRESS
INTERSECTIONAL CHALLENGES AND I.
BELIEVE THAT THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR US- TO
PRIORITIZE THAT SO THAT WE CAN
CONTINUE OUR TRAJECTORY WHERE.
WE SEE- OUR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN
HIGH PRIORITY SCHOOLS
OUTPERFORMING THE REST OF THE
COUNTRY. IF WE STOP THIS
INTERSECTIONAL APPROACH. BY
MAKING THESE. TWEAKS IN
MIDSTREAM WE THREATEN THAT
OPPORTUNITY SO I JUST WANTED TO
SHARE. HOW DO WE CONTINUE TO. TO
STICK WITH WHAT WE CAME TO DO
WHICH IS TO ADDRESS THE
INTERSECTIONAL PROBLEM NOT JUST
ONE. OF THOSE PROBLEMS SO I.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
ANYONE ELSE. I WOULD JUST SAY
THAT WE HAVE. FOR EXPRESSED OUR
CONCERNS AND WHAT COMMENTS ON
WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THIS
STORY. THE MAY REVISE AND THANK
EVERYBODY FOR THEIR- WE'RE GOING
TO MOVE TO- ISSUE FIVE WHICH IS
A STATUS UPDATE ON PREVIOUS
BUDGET ACT INVESTMENTS AND
ASSETS OVERSIGHT AND WE HAVE ONE
PANELIST J. RIMMER. WHAT BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE. THE ALL STAR WITH
THE FEW ROOM ON WE'RE ARE WITH
THE LEARNING ALLY TO POINT
PROGRAM WHICH WAS FIRST FUND AND
IS BACK IN TWENTY ONE WITH AN
ADDITIONAL APPROPRIATION THAT
WAS MADE IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET.
AS OUTLINED IN YOUR GENDER WHICH
PROVIDES A GOOD SUMMARY OF THIS
PROGRAM THIS IS AN INNOVATIVE
APPROACH TO INTENDED TO PROVIDE
A MORE CAREER ALIGNED EXPERIENCE
IN THE PRIVATE NONPROFIT SECTORS
OR ON CAMPUS RESEARCH. FOR
STUDENT PARTICIPANTS RELATIVE TO
OTHER CAMPUS JOBS THAT ARE
ALREADY SUPPORTED BY FUNDS
SOURCES LIKE FEDERAL WORK STUDY.
THIS PROGRAM ALSO FOCUSES FUNDS
UNDER REPRESENTED STUDENTS AND
ON POSITIONS THAT ARE WITHIN
STEM BASED FIELDS WHICH HELP US
BOTH EXPAND AND DIVERSIFY THE
TALENT PIPELINE INTO THOSE
PROFESSIONS. WE ALSO NOTE. THAT
HIS- WITH PROGRAM FUNDED ON A
ONE TIME BASIS BUT IT DOES HAVE
THAT STATUTORY MANDATE THAT I
MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY OF TWENTY
THIRTY ONE SO IT'S GOT A LONG
RUNWAY. AND ALLOWS CAMPUSES THAT
PARTICIPATE AND RECEIVE FUNDS TO
UTILIZE THOSE FUNDS OVER THAT
FULL PERIOD TOWARD STUDENT WAGES
ARE DIFFERENTIATED BASED ON THE
KIND OF EMPLOYMENT. THAT THE
STUDENTS PLACED INTO. OVER
COURSE OF THE TWENTY ONE TWENTY
TWO YEAR THE STUDENT COMMISSION
ENGAGE OUR CAMPUS AND SEGMENT
PARTNERS AS WELL AS EMPLOYERS
AND INDUSTRY PARTNERS TO ASSIST
US IN UNDERSTANDING. OF THE
ISSUES THAT WE NEEDED TO ADDRESS
AND THE PROGRAM AGREEMENT FOR
CAMPUSES THAT WANTED TO
PARTICIPATE AND GET A SHARE OF
THAT FUNDING. NOW THE FUNDS FOR
THIS PROGRAM ARE DISTRIBUTED TO
PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
BASED ON THE NUMBER OF PELL
GRANT STUDENTS THEY SERVE AS A
PERCENTAGE OF ALL THE PELL GRANT
STUDENTS AT COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES THAT CHOSE TO
PARTICIPATE. IN THIS PROGRAM AND
WE'RE AT IT'S ACTUALLY 99% OF
OUR INSTITUTION SAID YES I
WANTED TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
PROGRAM. BEFORE WE COULD
DISBURSING THE FUNDS WE NEED TO
KNOW WHICH INSTITUTIONS FOR
GOING TO PARTICIPATE. SO WE
COULD NOT DO THAT CALCULATION
ABOUT THEIR SHARE OF THE PELL
GRANTS STUDENT POPULATION. WE
ALSO OVER THE COURSE OF A
DESIGNING THAT PROGRAM AGREEMENT
AND UNDERSTANDING THE INVOLVED
ISSUES WITH OUR CAMPUS PARTNERS
AND EMPLOYERS. OF RECOGNIZE THAT
THESE RELATIONSHIPS WHICH DO
REQUIRE A FORMAL AGREEMENT
BETWEEN. BE COLLEGE OR
UNIVERSITY AND IT OUTSIDE
EMPLOYER. IT TAKES TIME TO
DEVELOP THOSE AGREEMENTS IT'S
ALSO. AN ADDITIONAL WORKLOAD FOR
CAMPUS STAFF PARTNERS WE HEARD
PLENTY OF FOR THEM ABOUT THAT
YOU MAY HAVE AS WELL- OUR
CAMPUSES ARE PERMITTED TO
UTILIZE UP TO FIVE PERCENT. OF
THEIR FUNDING APPORTIONMENT
TOWARDS OUR ADMINISTRATION ON
THE PROGRAM. AND GIVEN THE
SIGNIFICANT START UP ACTIVITIES
FOR LACK OF A BETTER TERM.
REQUIRED TO GET THIS PROGRAM
GOING WE WANTED TO ENSURE THAT
CAMPUSES COULD ACCESS THE FULL
SCOPE OF THEIR FUNDS. FOR
ADMINISTRATION ON THE PROGRAM
FOR EARLY. SO WHAT WE DID WAS WE
TOOK THAT OF APPROPRIATIONS I
DID THE CALCULATION BASED ON THE
NINETY NINE PERCENT. OF OUR
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES THAT
ARE IN THE PROGRAM AND THEN WE
DISTRIBUTED FUNDS. AFTER THAT
APPROPRIATION LANDED- TO THE
STUDENT AID COMMISSION. BACK IN
I THINK IT WAS SEPTEMBER THIS
YEAR. SO THOSE FUNDS ARE NOW OUT
THE FULL FIVE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS THE PORTION THAT GOES
FOR CAMPUSES ARE WITH OUR
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES. SO
THAT THEY CAN BEGIN TO
IMPLEMENT. AND DESPITE IT BEING
SO EARLY AND THE RELATIVE
LIFESPAN OF THIS PROGRAM WE'RE
ALREADY SEEING SOME REALLY
CREATIVE PARTNERSHIPS COMING-
INCLUDING FROM OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGES- WORKING WITH
PARTICULARLY- HEALTH CARE
RELATED FIELDS AND- WE HAVE SOME
EXAMPLES THAT WE CAN SHARE OF
THAT. SO WE'RE EXCITED TO SEE
WHERE THIS PROGRAM GOES- AND THE
KIND OF IT- RELATIONSHIPS THAT
ARE ESTABLISHED BETWEEN OUR
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES BUT-
WE'RE STILL RELATIVELY EARLY
WE'RE STILL REALLY IN THE FIRST
YEAR- AT. WHICH WE'VE INDICATED
TO OUR CAMPUSES WAS REALLY A
BILL THAT YEAR TO CREATE THOSE
RELATIONSHIPS. ON THE CASH FOR
COLLEGE PROGRAM YOU HEARD ME
MENTION THIS EARLIER IN THE
CONTEXT OF THE UNIVERSAL
APPROACH TO FINANCIAL AID
APPLICATIONS. FOR HIGH SCHOOL
SENIORS WHICH WAS ADOPTED BACK
IN TWENTY ONE TO LEGISLATION AND
BUDGET ACTION. THIS INVESTMENT
TOWARDS THE CASH FOR COLLEGE
PROGRAM HAS ALREADY SHOWN A REAL
VALUE. TO OUR LOCAL PARTNERS AND
IMPOSED IMPORTANTLY TO AS- THIS
YEAR I AM PLEASED TO SHOW. THE
ON HOW MANY OF THESE WORKS. THAT
WE HELD ACROSS THE STATE WE SAW
ANOTHER RECORD THIS YEAR THE
TOTAL NUMBER OF WORKSHOPS OVER
FOURTEEN HUNDRED. THAT HAVE
ALREADY BEEN REGISTERED IN
COMPLETED SO FAR. AND WE'RE NOT
DONE YET. AND THIS IS THANKS IN
PART. TO THE FUNDS THAT WE
RECEIVED AS A PORTION MEANT. TO
ESTABLISH NEW ENTITIES AND
REGIONS IN THE STATE THAT DID
NOT PREVIOUSLY HAVE A GRANTEE.
THAT WAS RECEIVING FUNDS TO HELP
DO THESE WORKSHOPS. IN THOSE
COMMUNITIES AND THESE NUMBERS
ARE LIKELY LITTLE OLD AND
PROBABLY WE WOULD HAVE EVEN MORE
IF I WENT BACK AND REFRESH THEM-
BUT- TWO HUNDRED SEVENTY FIVE
MORE WORKSHOPS IN REGIONS WHERE
WE ESTABLISHED A NEW
PARTNERSHIP. WE ALSO WERE ABLE
TO USE SOME OF THOSE FUNDS TO
DEEPEN THE SUPPORT. TO OUR
PARTNERS THAT WERE ALREADY
RECEIVING SOME FUNDS IN OTHER
COMMUNITIES THEY HOSTED AN
ADDITIONAL TWO HUNDRED WORKSHOPS
COMPARED TO LAST YEAR- WITH THAT
SUPPORT. WE'VE ALREADY UTILIZED
OVER FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS OF THAT ONE TIME
APPORTIONMENT AND WHAT WE'RE
DOING RIGHT NOW IS LOOKING AT
HOW WE TAKE. THE BALANCE OF THE
UNUSED FUNDS AND- MODIFY
CONTRACTS WITH THEIR CURRENT
GRANTEES SO THAT THEY COULD DO
MORE WORK BECAUSE BECAUSE OF
THE- THE LEGISLATURE IN THE
GOVERNOR'S PRIVATIZATION OF
EXPANDING ACCESS FOR AID. AND
THE CAL GRANT PROGRAM AS WE
DISCUSSED EARLIER OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS HAVE UNTIL
SEPTEMBER SECOND. TO APPLY FOR
GUARANTEED FINANCIAL AID IF THEY
MEET THE INCOMING GPA
REQUIREMENTS. THAT IS STILL
REALLY NEW WITHIN THE FINANCIAL
AID IN THE COLLEGE GOING WORLD
SO WE WANT TO WORK WITH OUR
PARTNERS AND I MAKE SURE THAT WE
DON'T JUST STOP AFTER FOR YOU'RE
GOING STUDENTS- HIT THEIR
FINANCIAL AID DEADLINE. BUT WE
SPRINT TO THE FINISH LINE GET
ALL THE WAY TO SEPTEMBER SECOND.
CONTINUE HOSTING WORKSHOPS THAT
ARE GOING TO HELP OUR COMMUNITY
COLLEGE GOING STUDENTS APPLY FOR
THAT NEW FINANCIALLY THAT'S
AVAILABLE. SO THAT'S WHERE THESE
RESOURCES WILL CONTINUE TO BE
REALLY CRITICAL AS WE BOTH THE
MINISTER THAT. REQUIREMENT FOR
HIGH SCHOOLS TO HELP STUDENTS
APPLY FOR AID. BUT ALSO AS WE
THINK ABOUT THE OPPORTUNITY TO
HELP MORE FOR COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID
AS WELL. AND WE'RE WE WOULD
REQUEST THAT WE TAKE THAT ONE
TIME. APPROPRIATION AND MAKE
THAT ON GOING. TO THE.
COMMISSION DOESN'T HAVE TO PULL
BACK ON HOW WE'RE SO. IN OUR
LOCAL PARK. TO DO THE WORK. WITH
THEIR- EDUCATORS. RIGHT I JUST
HAVE ONE. HERE. HE USE WENT
THROUGH IT ALL. ARE THERE ANY.
SIMPLE CHALLENGES YOU HAVE. FOR
WITH THE LEARNING ALIGNED
IMPLEMENT PROGRAM- WE CERTAINLY
RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE
CHALLENGES FOR OUR COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES AND FINDING THOSE
EMPLOYERS AND WORKING WITH THEM
TO CREATE AN AGREEMENT. THOSE
ARE USUALLY- YOU KNOW THE CAREER
CENTER ON CAMPUS THE FOLKS WHO
DO C. T. E. ON CAMPUS. AND THE
FOLKS IN FINANCIAL AID- THAT
REQUIRES A REAL PARTNERSHIP
BETWEEN THEM AND REALLY
DEDICATED WORK TO. TO MOBILIZE
EMPLOYERS AND GET THEM TO RALLY
AROUND THIS. THAT WE KNOW THAT
THAT IS HAPPENING NOW SO I THINK
WE'RE GOING IN A GOOD DIRECTION.
AND THEN FROM THE EMPLOYER SIDE
WE KNOW IF YOU'RE AN EMPLOYER
YOU THINK REGIONALLY YOU DON'T
NECESSARILY THINK JUST ABOUT
THAT ONE COLLEGE IN YOUR
COMMUNITY. YOU HAVE PROBABLY
SEVERAL THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO
WORK WITH- AND I THINK SOMETHING
WE'RE MINDFUL OF IS ENSURING
THAT OUR EMPLOYERS GET SOME
CONSISTENCY FROM THEIR CAMPUSES
SO THAT RATHER THAN HAVING. TEN
SEPARATE TYPES OF AGREEMENTS
FROM ALL OF THE NEIGHBORING
INSTITUTIONS THAT IDEALLY WE'D
LIKE TO SEE A SYSTEM WHERE THERE
ARE SOME MORE REGIONAL APPROACH
THERE. AND THERE ARE SOME
EFFORTS THAT ARE ALREADY UNDER
WAY- INCLUDING IN THE BAY AREA
ACTUALLY TO USE OTHER FUND
SOURCES TO HELP TRY TO FOSTER
THAT. REGIONALISM AND THIS
APPROACH MAKE IT EASY FOR
EMPLOYERS- TO PLUG IN AND WE'VE
BEEN WORKING WITH PARTNERS TO
TRY TO HELP. FOSTER THAT AND
CROSS PROMOTE. THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES TO OTHER
COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU ANY. FROM
THE COMMITTEE. I HAD IS JUST ON
THE- CASH FOR COLLEGE AND- JUST
THE OVERALL. ENROLLMENT WORK-
DURING THE PANDEMIC THERE WAS
OBVIOUSLY AN EXODUS OF A LOT OF
DIFFERENT- STUDENT POPULATIONS-
BUT THOSE GROUP BUT THE MOST
IMPACT WERE LARGELY BLACK MEN IN
THE CSU SYSTEM AND JUST. WANTING
TO GET A SENSE OF HOW- HOW ARE
YOU THINKING ABOUT- THE EQUITY
INVOLVED IN THESE PROGRAMS TO
HELP. ADDRESS THE BAD AND WE
KNOW- THAT LEADS TO. THE
CHALLENGES WITH THE GRADUATION
INITIATIVE- OF TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE SO JUST WHAT WHAT'S THE
EQUITY PEACE AND- CRITICALLY
THAT GROUP THAT HAS SEEN THE
DEEPEST. SORT OF ERASURE FROM
THE SYSTEM. HOW DO WE HOW HOW
ARE WE- BRINGING THEM BACK IN
AND THEN JUST LAST QUESTION.
JUST ON THE- ANY UPDATES ON THE
FACULTY. PIECES IF THERE'S ANY
UPDATES THERE- IN TERMS OF THAT.
THE PAYCHECK SURE. SO I CAN
SPEAK TO THE CASH FOR COLLEGE
QUESTION WE DON'T HAVE ANY
NEGOTIATIONS WITH FACULTY FOR ME
TO UPDATE YOU ON BUT- ON THE-
CASH FOR COLLEGE BECOMING SUCH
AN IMPORTANT PART OF HOW WE
THOUGHT ABOUT USING THIS LIMITED
POOL OF FUNDS TO REALLY HAVE THE
MOST IMPACT. AND WHAT WE DID
WAS- FIRST- WE KNOW THAT THERE
ARE SOME REGIONS IN THE STATE
THAT ALREADY HAVE ORGANIZATIONS
GETTING GRANT FUNDS FROM THE
STUDENT AID COMMISSION THROUGH
CASH FOR COLLEGE OR THROUGH OUR
CALIFORNIA STUDENT OPPORTUNITY
AND ACCESS PROGRAM CAL SOAP. AND
WHAT WE DID THEN WAS LOOK AT THE
REMAINING REGIONS AND REALLY TRY
TO IDENTIFY WHERE- ON A COUNTY
LEVEL THERE WERE THE MOST HIGH
SCHOOLS WITH THE MOST STUDENTS
AND THE LOWEST FINANCIAL AID
COMPLETION RATES WHICH ARE
OFTEN- SOME OF OUR SCHOOLS WITH
THE MOST TEAMS WHO WOULD BE
ELIGIBLE FOR FINANCIAL AID.
BASED ON THEIR IF THEIR FAMILY
INCOME THOSE WERE THE REGIONS
THAT WE TARGETED AND WE DID
PROACTIVE WORK TO ENGAGE A NEW
PARTNER BRING THEM INTO THIS
PROGRAM AND WORKED WITH THEM HOW
THEY CAN ENTER INTO A CONTRACT
WITH US. TO BECOME A GRANTEE
WHAT WE'VE BEEN DOING SINCE THEN
IS CONTINUING TO TRACK THAT DATA
AND CONTINUING TO LOOK AT WHERE
OUR HIGH SCHOOLS ARE IN HELPING
THEIR STUDENTS APPLY FOR AID.
REACH OUT TO WE CALL THEM THE
REGIONAL COORDINATING
ORGANIZATIONS FOR THIS CASH FOR
COLLEGE PROGRAM. REACH OUT TO
THOSE ORGANIZATIONS TO LET THEM
KNOW. HEY THESE HIGH SCHOOL
STILL LOOKED TO BE BELOW 40%
FINANCIAL AID COMPLETION. LET'S
SEE IF WE CAN MAKE SURE THEY
KNOW ABOUT THESE WORKSHOPS. AND
THEN ON THE FLIP SIDE ALSO AND
FORMER COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS.
ABOUT THESE. CASH FOR COLLEGE
RESOURCES AND REALLY. THERE'S
BEEN A BROADER EFFORT AS WE
TAKEN ON THIS NEW. STATE
REQUIREMENT. TO REALLY MOBILIZE
OUR LOCAL LEADERS AROUND THIS
AND MAKE IT A DISTRICT PRIORITY
AND ALL COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT
THE STATE. WITH AN EYE TOWARDS
WHO ARE THE STUDENTS WHO. ARE
OFTEN THE LEAST LIKELY TO
ALREADY BEING APPLIED. TO
ALREADY APPLY FOR AID. WHO ARE
OFTEN THESE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
GOING STUDENTS WHO APPLY. AFTER
MARCH SECOND. ANY FURTHER. OR IN
GOING TO CONTINUE TO BE KEPT

MILLION DOLLARS IT WILL COST TO
REALIZE THE VISION. THAT IS
ENCOMPASSED IN AB NINETEEN
THIRTY SIX. TO REMOVE THE NAME
HASTINGS FROM ONE OF THE GREAT
LAW SCHOOLS IN THE STATE. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION

FORTY EIGHT THOUSAND TWO HUNDRED
AND SEVENTY THREE DOLLARS. THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET INCLUDES AN
INCREASE OF TWO POINT TWO
MILLION I'M GOING GENERAL FUND
TO SUPPORT OPERATION COST THIS
REPRESENTS A 3% INCREASE IN ITS
FACE HOW MANY PATIENTS. THE
BUDGET ALSO INCLUDES AN INCREASE
OF THREE MILLION GENERAL FUND-
OVER THREE YEARS TO CONTINUE
SUPPORTING A CAMPUS SAFETY
PROGRAM KNOWN AS KNOWN AS URBAN
ALCHEMY THAT EMPLOYS FORMERLY
INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS N. OR
HAVE EXPERIENCE HOMELESSNESS- ED
TECHNICAL ISSUE THAT WE WOULD
LIKE TO CLARIFY IN THE GALLEY-
WILL BE CORRECTED DURING MY
REVISION DUE TO THE- SITUATIONS
THAT WE EXPERIENCE DURING THE
FALL. AND HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS THANK YOU THANK YOU
VERY MUCH FOR THE OHIO. WELCOME
THANKS VERY MUCH MISTER CHAIR
SENATORS INCLINE WITH
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST ON. AS NOTED
BY THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET INCLUDES TWO
POINT TWO MILLION IN GENERAL
FUND TO SUPPORT OPERATIONAL
COSTS. AS WELL AS THREE MILLION
SPLIT OVER THREE YEARS EVENLY
FOR THE URBAN ALCHEMY CAMPUS
SAFETY PROGRAM. WITH RESPECT TO
THE TWO POINT TWO MILLION
GENERAL FUND INCREASE. THE ON
PAGE TWENTY THREE AND TWENTY
FOUR OF YOUR AGENDA YOU CAN FIND
THE SCHOOLS FISCAL TWENTY THREE
TWENTY FOUR SPENDING PLAN. THIS
PLAN INCLUDES CORE COST
INCREASES SUCH AS HIRING NEW
FACULTY. SALARY INCREASES. IT
ALSO INCLUDES LEASE PAYMENTS FOR
THE NEW STUDENT HOUSING FACILITY
. WE RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE TREAT THIS INCREASE
AS AN UPPER BOUND FOR THE
SCHOOL. AND THAT THIS INCREASE
COULD BE REVISITED LATER IN THE
YEAR SHOULD THE PHYSICAL
CONDITION OF THE STATE. WITH
RESPECT TO THE THREE MILLION IN
ONE TIME FUNDING TO BE SPLIT
OVER THE NEXT THREE YEARS FOR
THE URBAN ALCHEMY PROGRAM- WE
NOTE THAT CAMPUS SAFETY IS A KEY
PART OF THE SCHOOL'S ONGOING
OPERATIONS. THIS PROGRAM LIES
LESS HEAVILY ON TRADITIONAL
METHODS OF POLICING AND IN FAVOR
OF SAFETY SERVICES. AS NOTED BY
THE CHANCELLOR AND APARTMENT A
FINANCE THIS PROGRAM ALSO
PRIORITIZES THE HIRING FORMERLY
INCARCERATED INDIVIDUALS AND
THOSE WHO WERE FORMALLY
EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS. IN
ADDITION TO THE THREE MILLION
THAT IS PROPOSED IN THE BUDGET.
THE INSTITUTION ALREADY RECEIVED
A THREE MILLION ONE TIME FUNDING
SPLIT OVER THREE YEARS IN THE
TWENTY TWENTY ONE BUDGET ACT. OF
WHICH ONE MILLION IS STILL
AVAILABLE FOR FISCAL TWENTY
THREE TWENTY FOUR. WE RECOMMEND
THAT THE SCHOOL USE CORE FUNDS
TO PAY FOR THE SCHOOLS. FOR THE
PROGRAMS ON GOING COSTS. OPTIONS
EXIST TO FUND THE PROGRAM OF
CURRENT CORE FUNDS ARE NOT
SUFFICIENT IN THESE WOULD
INCLUDE INCREASING STUDENT FEES
OR TUITION. WITH RESPECT TO THAT
NAME CHANGE AS NOTED BY THE
CHANCELLOR. EIGHT HUNDRED AND
EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND WAS
PROVIDED IN THE PREVIOUS BUDGET
ACT TO HELP OFFSET THE COST OF
THE INSTITUTION'S NAME CHANGE.
ADDITIONAL COST EXISTS TOTALING
AT LEAST ONE POINT FOUR MILLION
AS NOTED THIS IS FOR SIGNAGE AND
OTHER ISSUES. CAN OPTIONS EXIST
TO PAY FOR THESE REMAINING COSTS
IN THESE COULD INCLUDE THE
LEGISLATOR PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
ONE TIME GENERAL FUND SUPPORT.
HOWEVER CAMPUS RESERVES ARE
AVAILABLE AND COULD BE UTILIZED
TO PAY FOR THESE COSTS. THANK
YOU VERY MUCH AND I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU-
I'M GOING TO JUST LEAD WITH ONE
QUESTION AND THEN GO. TIM- OF MY
MEMBERS AND THANK YOU FOR AGAIN
FOR BEING HERE. WHAT'S THE
STATUS OF THE FUNDING FOR THE
NAME CHANGE BECAUSE I BELIEVE.
WE APPROPRIATED ROUGHLY EIGHT
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND
THEN THE COST IS ABOUT A MILLION
MORE THAN THAT. WHAT'S THE
STATUS. THE V. EIGHT HUNDRED
EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND THOSE
ALLOCATED IN LAST YEAR'S BUDGET
HAS ALREADY BEEN ENCUMBERED AND
BEING SPENT- AND IT'S- IT'S ONLY
ENOUGH TO COVER THE DIGITAL
FOOTPRINT TO CHANGE ALL THE
EMAIL ADDRESSES. TO CHANGE THE
WEB PAGE AND CHANGE A U. R. L.
AND SO WE HAVE- MORE CONTRACTING
WITH EIGHTY OUTSIDE PROVIDER- TO
DO ALL THAT WORK. SO WE HAVE WE
HAVE NO MONEY FOR SIGNAGE SO WE
TOOK THE HASTINGS NAME OFF OF
THE BUILDINGS. BUT WE DO NOT
HAVE MONEY FROM- RESOURCES ON
THE STATE AND IS THAT A BUDGET
REQUEST IS NOT BEING
RECOMMENDED- THIS IS A REQUEST
TO THE LEGISLATURE TO AUGMENT-
THAT I KNOW BUT USUALLY THE-
FINANCE DEPARTMENT. TODAY AND.
THAT'S MY POINT. HE LET ME ASK
DEPARTMENT DO NOT PUT THIS IN A
REASON. THE STATE IS FACING A
DEATH- WE ARE WITH WE- AND GIVEN
THE THAT WE SHOULD YOU IGNORE.
THIS IS SOMETHING WE PROBABLY
NEED TO DO BUT IT'S THE DEFICIT
THAT KEPT YOU FROM PUTTING IT IN
THE BUDGET. SAID THE PERMANENT-
THE VIOLATED THE COSTS AND THE
RESOURCES THAT WE HAD IT WOULD
PROVIDE A HUNDRED A HUNDRED
EIGHTY FIVE OF THE ONE WHERE HE
JUST SAID THAT I'M TALKING ABOUT
THE MILLION BUCKS AT. SO YOU. I
THINK I'M JUST TO GET RID. THAT
WE A DEFICIT IN THAT WHERE WE
ARE ALSO FOR SOFT RID. SO LATER
MAY. HAVE ANYTHING WISH TO ABOUT
THIS. I WOULD JUST. THAT I
RECOMMEND HERE BE THAT THE
INSTITUTE HAS CAN'T RESEARCH
AVAILABLE AND THESE COULD BE
FUNDS COULD BE USED FOR THIS
PART. WHAT WE HAVE HERE TODAY
ISSUE OR OR THEIR- FROM OTHER
MEMBERS SENATOR MAN. YES SO-
FIRST I JUST WANNA- ECHO THE
COMMENTS MADE BY CHAIR LAYERED I
APPRECIATE THE NAME CHANGE- THIS
IS SOMETHING THAT'S BEEN
IMPORTANT IN THE LEGISLATURE SO.
APPRECIATE YOUR PROMPT CHANGES
THERE- THE NAME IS- AND IT YOU
KNOW IT'S ABOUT AS PLANNED AS
ONE CAN GET SO GOOD FOR YOU I
GUESS ON THAT- AND WHEN YOU'RE
READY KIDDING BLAND US I JUST
WANT YOU KNOW YOU'RE SPEAKING
FOR YOURSELF ON OFFENSIVE- I DID
HAVE A QUESTION FOR UNITS REYES
KIND OF BY THE L. A- IT. YOU
KNOW YOU SEE YOU SEE COLLEGE OF
THE LAW SAN FRANCISCO DO YOU
GUYS HAVE A SHORTHAND THING YOU
SEE L. U. C. LAW SAN FRANCISCO
ARE YOU SEE WHY SF YOU SEE OKAY
YOU SEE LAW AS IF I CAN DO THAT-
THE SEATTLE SF IS. RECEIVING IT
WAS OBVIOUSLY AN INTERESTING
POSITION BECAUSE YOU ARE UNLIKE
THE OTHER LAW SCHOOLS THAT ARE
PUBLICLY FUNDED IN THE STATE YOU
ARE- YOU RECEIVE FUNDING
DIRECTLY FROM LEGISLATURE ABOUT
A QUARTER OF YOUR BUDGET- AND I
DID NOTATE DALY CORNELIO YOU'RE-
YOU'RE RECEIVING A LARGEST
PERCENTAGE INCREASE OF ANY.
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION IN OUR
PURVIEW AS I GUESS I'M JUST
WONDERING- HOW DOES YOUR TUITION
AND BUDGET STACK UP AGAINST THE
OTHER YOU SEE LAW SCHOOLS.
HOWEVER IF. NO ANSWER. THANK YOU
FOR YOUR CALL- IT WHEN ANIL A
BUDGET A SMALL TASTING. YOU KNOW
THE- FOR MORE. RELATIVELY
NUMBERS RELATE TO PRETTY BIG
PRESENTS. FILL THE GROWTH OUR
WORK BUDGET. IS 3% AND THAT'S
BEEN- PRETTY. CONSISTENT OVER
TIME- IN TERMS OF TUITION FEE.
THAT THE THERE'S A SECOND YOUR
QUESTION WE WERE EXTREMELY-
MINDFUL OF THE IMPACT OF COST
AND STUDENT ENROLLMENT- PRICKLY
ACCESS TO- THE STUDENTS THAT WE
SERVE. AND SO FOR A PERIOD OF
TIME- WE MAINTAIN FLAT FEES AND
THOSE OF FOR OVER A DECADE AND
FRANKLY- WE'RE QUITE PROUD OF
THAT IT. REFLECTED CHOICES THAT
GOT MADE- WE WERE ABLE TO MANAGE
THAT BUDGET. SO WE ARE FEES
RIGHT CURRENTLY ARE BELOW YOU
SEE AVERAGE BY ABOUT 10% WE
DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE- THE
REGION'S HAVE A MULTI YEAR FEE
PLAN THAT. PRESCRIBES THE
PROCESS BY WHICH- OF. THE UC
FEES ARE DEVELOPED I HAVE SOME
KNOWLEDGE OF THAT BUT IT'S TIME
FOR A DEEP FRANKLY- YEAH- TO THE
HOUR BUT TO STACK UP BECAUSE
WE'RE STANDALONE INDEPENDENT
ENTITY. WE HAVE OUR OWN-
INSURANCE POLICIES- IS A 100% OF
OUR WHEN OUR COSTS THAT WOULD
GOING SURE IT WITH THE CAMPUS
PER SE. WE DON'T HAVE BENEFIT OF
A FINANCIAL MOTHERSHIP- WHICH IS
CALLED A CHALLENGE. I MEAN TO
THE LET'S AND INDICATE A RESERVE
LEVELS BEING FIVE MONTHS. THAT
NUMBER TO ME STRIKES ME AS BEING
A LO FI FRANKLY I MEAN WE DON'T
HAVE ANY RECOURSE TO FALL BACK
ON. OTHER THAN THE GOOD GRACES
OF THE- CITY CALIFORNIA AND
SOMETIMES THAT CAN BE HELPFUL
SOMETIMES IN A POSITION TO. SO
WE DO MANAGE OUR BUDGET TO OUR
OWN- FLORAL BY. AND OUR
COMPENSATION STRUCTURE IS BELOW
THAT OF YOU SEE AND THE FIRST
STAFFING PROFESSOR CYNTHIA AND
HEAD TO HEAD COUNT AND DOLLARS.
SO ONE OF THE WAYS WE DON'T WITH
PERIOD OF FISCAL. WHICH THIS
COST THAT'S WHAT YOU DO WHEN
YOU'RE IN THE OSCAR. OF STURDY.
AND SO WE HAVE SLIPPED BEHIND
THE YOU SEE BENCHMARKING TERMS
OF BOTH COMPENSATION LEVELS AND-
FACULTY ACCOUNT LETTER FACULTY
ACCOUNT. SO WE DOUBLE MULTI YEAR
PLANS TO ADDRESS THESE-
PRIORITIES. AND WE EXECUTE UPON
THEM. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
PROFESSOR MAN- ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS ABOUT THIS
BUDGET SENATOR SMALLWOOD CUEVAS
JUST HAD A QUESTION AND I'M
FAMILIAR EVEN THOUGH FROM L. A.
I'M FAMILIAR WITH THE
TENDERLOIN. AREA A LOT OF
DISPLACEMENT OF COMMUNITIES IN
THAT AREA AND I'M CURIOUS ABOUT
THE DEMOGRAPHICS OF YOUR-
COMMUNITIES THAT YOU ARE
SERVING- AND EMPLOYING THROUGH
THE URBAN ALCHEMY PROJECT AND I
ALSO WANT TO HEAR A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT- THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT
IT'S PROVIDING TO FOLKS IN THE
COMMUNITY- IN TERMS OF. THIS
PROGRAM IS IT EMPLOYMENT OR JUST
WANTED TO GET CLARIFICATION ON
THAT. THANK YOU SENATOR FOR THE
QUESTION- I'LL START OUT IN A
HOME WITH MY CFO FOLLOW US URBAN
ALCHEMY HAS BEEN A TERRIFIC
PARTNER TO US- I DON'T KNOW THE
EXACT DEMOGRAPHICS OF THE
COMMUNITY- BUT THEY HAVE REALLY
INTEGRATED WITH OUR- FOLKS- AND
INCREDIBLY WELL- THE- ARE FULLY
EMPLOYED EVAN OUTCOME IS A
NONPROFIT AND- ONE OF OUR- LEGAL
CLINICS. HELP SERVE THEIR LEGAL
NEEDS AS WELL SO WE- ARE ALSO
SERVING THEIR- NONPROFIT
CORPORATE NEEDS- AND THEN THEY
SERVE OUR COMMUNITY NEEDS BUT
OUR DAVID MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL.
EVIDENCE OF THE DEMOGRAPHICS
DESPITE A ROUGH ESTIMATE I WOULD
SAY ABOUT 85% ARE AFRICAN
AMERICAN MALES. THE MAJORITY OF
THESE HAVE DONE- THEY'LL HAVE
THEM. UNDER LINKED PERIODS OF
COMMERCE- LARGE PARTY TO THREE
OUT OF AND THEY THEIR TEN TO BE
A- HELLO ALL. AND THE- BUT HAVE
BEEN WELL RECEIVED NOT JUST BY
OUR COMMUNITIES TO RECKONS THAT
BY THE NAME- THE- I HAVE
INGRAINED THEMSELVES INTO THE
FABRIC OF OUR COMMUNITY. WRIT
LARGE AND THE SUCCESSES BEEN SO
PRONOUNCED THAT THE SITTING
COUNTY SAN FRANCISCO HAS
EXPANDED THEY'RE USING THE SAME
SERVICE DELIVERY MODEL. TO COVER
YOU KNOW SOME REALLY DIFFICULT
AREAS OF MID MARKET DEEPER IN
THE TENDERLOIN- THE URBAN
ALCHEMY IS ALSO MOVING INTO LOS
ANGELES AS WELL AS THE PORTLAND
. THE- THE HUMAN TOUCH AMONG
THESE ARE INDIVIDUALS WHO. HAVE
HAD. THE CHALLENGES IN LIFE
MEANS OR- ARE OUT THERE DOING A
GREAT JOB. THE HOME DELIVERY
TRULY ARE A CALMING INFLUENCE ON
STREETS. SOMETIMES WHEN YOU'RE
SURE TRYING TO NAVIGATE A
SIDEWALK AND THERE'S A LOT OF
STUFF GOING ON- IT'S DAUNTING
AND EVEN IF. THE PERCEPTION OF
SAFETY IS LACKING YOU COULD
ARGUE WHETHER SAFETY IS LACKING
BUT THE PERCEPTION OF SAFETY IS
MOST DEFINITELY IS LACKING. IN
THIS ORGANIZATION STABILIZE THE
SITUATIONS THAT PEOPLE CAN JUST
WALK DOWN THE SIDEWALK AND
ENJOYED HER FROM POINT A TO
POINT B. AND FEEL- PART OF THE
COMMUNITY. THANKS I WOULD ADD
THAT ALTHOUGH URBAN ALCHEMY. NOT
OF PHILOSOPHY PRACTICE TO
POLICING THEY'VE ALSO BEEN GREAT
PARTNERS WITH THIS AS A GREEDY
US HAVE CISCO POLICE- REALLY
HAVE WELCOMED URBAN ALCHEMY AS
WELL AND THEY REALLY DO-
COLLABORATE. AND COMPLEMENT ONE
ANOTHER. THANK YOU FOR SHARING
THAT AGAIN IS BACK TO THE WIN
WIN SITUATION THAT WE ARE FOR
ALL IN SEARCH OF THE PRESHEAF.
THANK YOU. ANY FURTHER QUESTIONS
OR COMMENTS. GIPSON WROTE
TROUBLES. SO IT'S NOTED THAT
BOTH THE C. IN THE COMMUNITY THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE- HAVE SEEN A
DROP OKAY. SINGLE MY- VANISHED
YOUR UNIVERSITY OR LAW SCHOOL
HAS INCREASED BY A HUNDRED AND
FIVE. SEVERAL EVEN WITH AN
INCREASES THOUSAND TWELVE AND
THIRTEEN WITH THE TWO OPTIONS
THAT YOU FOLKS HAD- FOR TEN
DAYS- OR TEN YEARS. THANK
BECAUSE THAT AIN'T IN A THE ROOM
. SUCH AS THE AMOUNT IN
COMPARISON TO OTHER WHAT. WHAT
TO EAT FROM YOUR- THAT WE COULD
TAKE AWAY- TO HELP OTHER-
SCHOOLS. ABLE TO INCREASE OUR
INVOLVEMENT LIKE YOU HAVE THANK
YOU SENATOR IT'S A GREAT
QUESTION AND I'VE BEEN THAT- YOU
SEE WHAT SAN FRANCISCO SINCE
NINETEEN EIGHTY SEVEN SO I'VE
SEEN THE UPS AND DOWNS SO THIRTY
SIX YEARS AND- PRIOR
220-001-8000 NINE WITH THE GREAT
RECESSION- I THINK APPLICATIONS
WERE QUITE STRONG- UC AND CSU
WIDE AND I THINK ALSO WITH THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES- 200-080-0009
AND REALLY INTO TWENTY TEN
TWENTY ELEVEN. DEEPLY AFFECTED
THE APPLICANT POOL OUR APPLICANT
POOL CUT WAS CUT IN HALF- DURING
THAT TIME. OVER THE LAST SEVERAL
YEARS AND I THINK IT'S A
COMPLICATED ANSWER I DO THINK-
WHAT WAS HAPPENING IN WASHINGTON
DC IN TWENTY SIXTEEN-
CONTRIBUTED TO PEOPLE THINKING
THAT LAW SCHOOL WAS A- PLACE
WHERE THEY COULD MAKE A
DIFFERENCE- GOING FORWARD- I SO
I THINK SPECIAL IN A PLACE LIKE
SAN FRANCISCO CALIFORNIA THERE
WAS A- A SENSE THAT THERE WERE
POLITICAL. AND BRING BOTH SIDES
OF THE AISLE- POLITICAL ISSUES
THAT HAD REALLY COME TO THE
FORE- I ALSO THINK THAT WHAT IS
HAPPENING IN LAW AND I THINK
THAT MY UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA-
YOU COUSINS AND RELATIVES WOULD
AGREE. THAT THE G. D. IS
INCREASINGLY BEING VIEWED AS A
PLATFORM DEGREE AND SO LOT OF
TECH COMPANIES ARE HIRING WOULD
HAVE COPRODUCT COUNCIL. WE'VE
BEEN VERY BIG IN THIS SPACE
BECAUSE WE ARE IN SAN FRANCISCO
AND SO PRODUCT COUNCIL ARE FOLKS
THAT ACTUALLY WORK AT THE ELBOW
OF ENGINEERS SOFTWARE ENGINEERS-
SO THAT WHEN THEY CREATE AN APP.
THAT IS GOING TO DISRUPT-
WHETHER TO AIRBNB OR UBER AND
LEFT- WITH THE DISRUPTING IS NOT
ONLY THE TECHNOLOGY BUT THE
DISRUPTING THE REGULATORY
FRAMEWORK- OR THEY MIGHT HAVE
SIDES THIRTY OR AND I TRUST
ISSUES. AND SO WE'VE SEEN THAT A
GROWTH NINE JD WITH- ROLES FOR
GDC- THINK THAT THAT BEEN A
REAL. FOR US- AND SO BACK TO
THE- COMMITTEE CULTURE- WE JOIN
AS C. IRVINE UCLA- AND WHAT SEND
HAVE BEEN OF THE PATH. PROGRAM
AND THE PATHWAYS PROGRAM COURSE
THE I'M SURE FAMILIAR IT- IS.
DEAD TO IDENTIFYING AND
EMPOWERING ENABLING COLLEGE
