MUCH- MISTER CARE MEMBERS I'M
PLEASED TO PRESENT. SB TWO
SEVENTY FOUR HIT SAVE. POLICY
AREA THE LEGISLATURE IS. NOT NEW
TO US. FROM AS WE KNOW THERE ARE
. ONE OF OUR COMMITMENTS. TO
HELPING OUR- PUBLIC SCHOOLS. IS
IN ORDER TO HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR ALL CHILDREN TO THRIVE. THEN
TO GET THE EDUCATION THAT THEY
NEED. AND PROMISES VERY SIMPLE
THIS BILL. KIDS NEED TO BE IN
SCHOOL. WE HAVE- SEEN IN OUR-
DIFFERENT SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
IMPROVEMENTS MADE IN HOW WE
DISCIPLINE KIDS WE USED TO HAVE
A TENDENCY OF USING SUSPENSIONS
QUITE LIBERALLY SUSPENSIONS POET
KID OUT OF SCHOOL. AND OF COURSE
THOSE KIDS WHO MIGHT BE ACTING
IN SUCH A WAY THAT CAUSES A
SUSPENSION ARE OFTEN THE VERY
KIDS THAT REALLY WE NEED TO KEEP
IN SCHOOL AND THAT SENDING THEM
THE MESSAGE THAT OKAY WE'RE JUST
NOT GONNA LET YOU GO TO SCHOOL
IT'S KIND OF A MESSAGE TO A-
ENCOURAGE FAILURE. THAN WHAT
WE'VE SEEN IS THAT KIDS WITH A
LOT OF SUSPENSIONS TEND TO NOT
TEND TO THEY HAVE THE HIGHEST
DROPOUT RATES THEY HAVE THE
HIGHEST RATE OF FAILURE IN TERMS
OF- EXCESSIVE SCHOOL SCORES THE
HOPE IT SO. THIS BILL FOCUSES ON
A PARTICULAR FORM OF SUSPENSIONS
CALLED WILLFUL DEFIANCE THAT'S A
VERY SUBJECTIVE. AND WE HAVE THE
DATA SHOWS THAT KIDS HAVE BEEN-
SUSPENDED UNDER THIS CATEGORY
BECAUSE THEY WERE THEY'RE HOT
THEY WERE WEARING A HAT IN CLASS
AND HE DIDN'T TAKE IT OFF OR THE
SMIRKED AT THE TEACHER. YOU KNOW
MANY IN YOU CAN LOOK ALL OF US
COULD HAVE A BAD DAY SO I
COMPLETELY APPRECIATE A TEACHER
COULD HAVE PARTICULARLY BAD DAY.
THIS THIS KID SETS THEM OFF. BUT
WE HAVE OTHER ALTERNATIVES WE
DON'T NEED TO KICK THE KID OUT
OF SCHOOL. AND SO WE HAD- WE
CURRENTLY HAVE PROHIBITED WILL
HOLD SIDE FIND SUSPENSIONS IN
GRADES TKA THROUGH FIVE. AND WE
ALSO HAVE A PRIVATE. IN POLICY
FOR GRADES SIX TO EIGHT BUT THAT
IS SUNSET IT IN TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE. THIS BILL WOULD ELIMINATE
THAT SUNSET BUT ALSO EXTEND. THE
WILLFUL DEFIANCE SUSPENSIONS TO
A BROADER. ARRAY OF OUR CLASSES
AND I'D LIKE TO HAVE MY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT MORE A
MORALLY WHO'S A STUDENT FROM THE
BLACK PARALLEL SCHOOL BOARD. AND
VOTER ROBERTSON WHO STEP UP HERE
AND HAVE BEEN IMPACTED STUDENT.
WELCOME AND PLEASE PROCEED WHEN
READY. WELL OVER HERE THE IN
FRONT OF THIS PLEXIGLASS IS
WEIRD I KNOW. BUT WE'RE WORKING
ON CHANGING IT. WELCOME YEAH.
OKAY GOOD MORNING EVERYONE MY
NAME IS MORE MORALLY AND I AM A
SIX YEAR OLD STUDENT IN THE
SACRAMENTO CITY UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT. I'VE SEEN MENTIONS THE
NAME OF THIS ONE PUSH STUDENTS
OUT OF SCHOOL WOULD NEGATIVELY
IMPACT THEIR MENTAL HEALTH. THE
ORGANIZATION PART OF WHAT PEARL
SCHOOL WORK HAS BEEN WORKING TO
PROTECT STUDENTS ARE BEING
SUSPENDED FOR DEFIANCE BECAUSE
WE'VE SEEN HOW IT HARMS YOUNG
PEOPLE BOXES WERE SECULAR. WORK
AND USUALLY ARE TARGETED AS
DEFIANT. PARENTS AND STUDENTS
HAVE SURE THAT YOU FOR BEING
SUSPENDED FOR DEFIANCE FOR
THINGS SUCH AS ONE COULD BE
UTILIZING A PHONE IN CLASS OR
BEING TARDY. CALIFORNIANS
MENTIONS FOR DEFIANCE BECAUSE IT
DOES MORE HARM THAN GOOD. WHEN
STUDENTS ARE SUSPENDED THERE ARE
A LOT OF NEGATIVE IMPACTS SUCH
AS MENTAL HEALTH GETTING BEHIND
IN CLASSES ARE COMING BACK
LESSEN GAUGE. LAST YEAR ONE OF
MY FRIENDS ARE SUSPENDED FOR
TRUANCY THERE WAS A CODE OVER
GOT SCHOOL AND SHE WAS STAYING
ON PROTECT YOURSELF. SHE WAS
SUSPENDED FOR TRUANCY FOR TWO
DAYS. IT MADE HER FEEL LIKE SHE
DID NOT MATTER AND THAT THE
SCHOOL ONLY CARED ABOUT FUNDING
. SHE WAS ALREADY BEHIND HER
CLASSWORK ONE OR SCHOOL
SUSPENDED HER SHE WAS FARTHER
BEHIND. AND WHEN SHE CAME BACK
SHE SAID SHE DID NOT WANT TO
SEND SCHOOL AT ALL. IF A STUDENT
IS STRUGGLING TO COME TO SCHOOL
THE BILL TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH US AND
SUPPORT THE STUDENTS. NOT PUNISH
US AND PUSHES AWAY. MY MOTHER
WORKS NIGHTS IN PSYCHIATRIC
POPULATION OF UC DAVIS HOSPITAL
IN THERE IS IF THERE IS AN SAID
HER JOB SOMETIMES USUALLY TO GET
MY SISTER AND I IN THE MORNING.

ONE MINUTE LATE IN THE MARQUEE
WAS TARDY IN START ANTAGONIZING
YOU. THEY WILL TELL YOU DO NOT
TAKE YOUR EDUCATION SERIOUSLY
AND MAKE YOU FEEL LIKE YOU'RE
DOING A TERRIBLE THING FIRST
THING IN THE MORNING. STUDENTS
SHOULD NOT BE SUSPENDED FOR
BEING TARDY BECAUSE OFTENTIMES
IT'S NOT THEIR FAULT THE BUS IS
LATE OR THEY CAN BE DEPEND ALSO
ON US TO GIVE A RIDE. INSTEAD OF
SUSPENDING STUDENTS FOR DEFINES
TRUANCY RETURNING TO SCHOOL
SHOULD HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH
A YOUNG PERSON TO FIND OUT WHAT
IS GOING ON. THE SCHOOL TO HAVE
SOMEONE ON CAMPUS THE STUDENT
TRUSTEE CAN TALK TO SUCH AS A
FAVORITE TEACHER IN AID OR JUST
THE CURRENT ALL. WHAT SCHOOL
DON'T TRY TO TALK TO YOU ABOUT
WHAT'S GOING ON IT FEELS LIKE
THEY DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU AND
ARE SIMPLY GIVING UP ON YOU. A
LOT OF MY PEERS REALLY STRUGGLE
WITH MENTAL HEALTH RENOWNED
SPENDING STUDENTS ARE BEING LATE
MISSING SCORE BEING. DEFIANT IS
NOT GOING TO HELP IT'S ONLY
GONNA MAKE THEIR MENTAL HEALTH
WORKERS. PLEASE WILL SUPPORT SB

KEEP STUDENTS. MICHAEL MOORE. IN
MY OWN CHILDREN. IN SCHOOL.
SUCCEEDING INCREASES THEIR
GRADUATION RATES- WE SHOWS THAT
SUSPEND. EVEN ONCE IN THE NINTH
GRADE IS ASSOCIATED WITH A
DRAMATIC INCREASE IN THE
LIKELIHOOD OF DROPPING OUT.
BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS ARE
MORE LIKELY THAN THEIR PEERS TO
BE TARGETED WITH EXCLUSIONARY.
DISCIPLINE PRACTICES LIKE
DEFIANCE THIS PENSIONS. BLACK
STUDENTS EXPERIENCE NEARLY FOUR
TIMES MORE. MENTIONS THAN WHITE
STUDENTS FOR DISRUPTION IN
DEFIANCE. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE.
TWENTY TWO SCHOOL YEAR
BLACKSTONE IS FOR ONLY 5% OF
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS BUT FOURTEEN
PERCENT. OF THE DEVICES PENSION
. PASSING S. B. TWO SEVEN FOUR
WILL ADVANCE RACIAL ECONOMIC AND
EDUCATIONAL JUSTICE IN
CALIFORNIA. RESEARCH SUGGESTS
THAT DISPARITIES IN DISCIPLINE.
FOR STUDENTS OF COLOR ARE DUE TO
CONSCIOUS AND UNCONSCIOUS
BIASES. IN TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO
SCHOOL YEAR LOW INCOME STUDENTS
MADE UP JUST. 62% OF THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENT POPULATION
BUT 80% OF STUDENTS WHO WERE
SUSPENDED. WHAT DEFINES AND
DISRUPTION. GOOD DISTRICTS

ESTABLISHED A QUORUM LET'S COME
BACK TO THE DAIS- ANY QUESTIONS
COMMENTS FOR THE AUTHOR WITH
WITNESSES. GOT A MOTION FOR
SENATE GLAZER AS SENATORS GONNA
REJECT CLOSE THANKS SO MUCH- I
DID NOT MENTION BUT I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT. TO POINT OUT THAT THE
BILL DOES PRESERVE THE RIGHT FOR
TEACHERS TO REMOVE STUDENTS FROM
THE CLASSROOM FOR THE DISRUPTION
OR DEFIANCE BUT NOT SUSPEND THEM
FROM SCHOOL. AND WITH THAT I
APPRECIATE. THE CONVERSATION AND
OUR WITNESSES AND I ASK FOR YOUR
I. BOATS. THANK YOU THAT WE ARE
MOTION. FROM THE SENATE VERSION
. THANK YOU MY MOTION THAT I
DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU'RE GONNA DO
THIS YOUR CLOTHES BUT I WANTED
LEAST PUT ON THE RECORD THAT
THEY'RE ALL ALL KINDS OF OTHER
CATEGORIES. IN WHICH TO- TAKE
DISCIPLINARY ACTION AGAINST A
STUDENT- ANY KIND OF VIOLENCE
ANY KIND OF THREAT TO PHYSICAL
INJURY- DAMAGE TO PRIVATE
PROPERTY SO THERE'S A WHOLE LIST
OF CATEGORIES IT'S THIS. THIS
CLASSIFICATION THAT IT HAS
POTENTIALLY BEEN ABUSED THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DEAL WITH THAT
AND YOUR BILL THAT'S A FAIR
OBSERVATION IS THAT. THAT IS A
FAIR OBSERVATION AND WHEN WE-
SKEWS ME. WHEN ARMS. WHEN I AND
OTHER LEGISLATORS FIRST STARTED
BRINGING THIS ISSUE TO THE
ATTENTION LEGISLATURE AND- I MY
FIRST BILL AND THIS WAS BACK
WHEN I WAS IN THE ASSEMBLY BUT-
OVER TIME. WE DIDN'T HAVE GOOD
DATA WE HAD- WE HAD SOME SCHOOL
DISTRICTS WERE IT WAS APPARENT
THAT THIS WAS. OCCURRING THIS
PARTICULAR CATEGORY WAS
OCCURRING MUCH HIGHER LIKELIHOOD
AMONGST A BLACK BOYS. ALSO THE
TEEN OF BOYS AND DISABLED KIDS.
BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE IT STATEWIDE
AND- WHEN GOVERNOR BROWN WAS.
GOVERNOR THIS IS WHY ONE OF THE
BILLS. HAD ONLY A CERTAIN NUMBER
OF YEARS AND NOT. THERE WAS LIKE
WELL WE WANT TO BE ABLE TO PROVE
THIS WE NOW HAVE THE DATA. WHICH
ONE OF OUR EXCUSE ME. WITNESSES
SPOKE TO. WHICH DEMONSTRATES NOW
WE HAVE THE DATA THAT SHOWS THIS
PARTICULAR CATEGORY OF
SUSPENSIONS IS USED.
PREDOMINANTLY ON A BLACK BOYS
BUT ALSO AB YOU KNOW BLACK AND
BROWN KIDS AND DISABLED KIDS SO.
I THINK IT IS IMPORTANT WHEN WE
SEE THAT KIND OF THING THAT'S
IMPORTANT TO REMOVE SOMETHING
THAT WOULD APPEAR TO BE VERY
SUBJECTIVE AND THANK YOU FOR
BRINGING THAT OUT YES SO WE
DON'T WANT TO. HAVE A GOOD DAY
IT IS OF GREAT VALUE HAPPINESS
THE BILL NOW. DURING AN EVENT
THAT'S RIGHT I WOULD AGREE AND I
THINK. THAT YOUR WITNESSES
ASSEMBLY TEST FOR THE RIGHT TO
IS A SUBJECTIVE CATEGORY- THIS
IS IN NEED OF CLARIFICATION- AND

SOONER GROWTH WELCOME. S. B. TWO
NINETY TWO. GOOD MORNING SIR. HI
AND WELCOME AT LEAST RECEIVED
ONE OF END. THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I'M TODAY I'M HERE
TO PRESENT SB TWO NINETY TWO
WHICH IS ESTABLISH A CALIFORNIA
SAVINGS ACCOUNT. ACT OF TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. BECAUSE CALIFORNIA
USED TO BE ONE OF THE TOP
PERFORMING STATES IN THE COUNTRY
FOR K. THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION.
NOW CALIFORNIA SCHOOL SYSTEM IS
IN CRISIS. AT THE BASELINE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS SHOULD BE ABLE TO
EDUCATE CHILDREN ON THE
FUNDAMENTALS OF READING WRITING
ENGLISH. AND PROFICIENCY IN MATH
AND SCIENCE. DESPITE SYNDICATE
SPENDING ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS
MORE PER STUDENT ON THAT THAN
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE CALIFORNIA
HAS CONSISTENTLY RANKED BELOW
THE NATIONAL ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT AMONG FOURTH THROUGH
EIGHTH GRADERS FOR SEVERAL YEARS
NOW. IN THE MOST RECENT NATIONAL
ASSESSMENT OF EDUCATIONAL
PROGRESS TEST. TWO OF THREE
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS DIDN'T MEET
THE STATE MATH STANDARDS IN ONE
AND MORE THAN HALF DID NOT MEET
THE ENGLISH PROFICIENCY
STANDARDS. THE NUMBERS WERE
WORSE FOR STUDENTS OF COLOR 84%
OF BLACK STUDENTS AND 79% OF
LATINO STUDENTS DIDN'T MEET THE
STANDARDS IN TWENTY TWENTY TWO.
LET THAT SINK IN FOR JUST A
MINUTE EIGHT OUT OF TEN LATINO
AND BLACK CHILDREN CAN'T MEET
THE BASIC MATH STANDARDS THAT
COLLEAGUES THAT IS A FAILURE OF
OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM. ANY
COMPANY THAT FAILED THAT MANY OF
ITS CUSTOMERS WOULD BE RUN OUT
OF BUSINESS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. BUT WE REWARD OUR
FAILING SCHOOLS WITH EVEN MORE
FUNDING THE LEGISLATURE
INTRODUCES THOUSANDS OF BILLS
EVERY SESSION TO CREATE NEW OR
FIX POLICIES THAT DON'T WORK.
BECAUSE WE SEE THAT THERE'S A
PROBLEM AND WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE FIX IT. TOO MANY OF OUR
CHILDREN ARE FAILING TO MEET THE
MIDDLE AND MINIMAL EDUCATIONAL
STANDARDS HERE IN CALIFORNIA
THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IMPACTS
EVERY CHILD FOR THE REST OF HIS
OR HER LIFE. BUT NO ONE IS
PUTTING FORWARD A SOLUTION THAT
WILL DISRUPT THE STATUS QUO
WHICH IS WHY I'M HERE TODAY TO
GIVE STUDENTS AND PARENTS
OPTIONS IN EDUCATION. TOO MANY
SO CALLED SOLUTIONS ARE FOCUSED
ON KEEPING STUDENTS IN POOR
PERFORMING SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF
THEIR ZIP CODE. INSTEAD OF
FOCUSING ON EVERY CHILD AND
GIVING THEM THE BEST ACADEMIC
OPPORTUNITY THEY COULD POSSIBLY
GET. AND WE KNOW THAT PARENTAL
CHOICE IN EDUCATION WORKS THIRTY
TWO STATES. FROM HAVE SOME FORM
OF PARENTAL CHOICE IN CHOICE
PROGRAMS IT ALLOWS PARENTS TO
IDENTIFY THE GAPS IN THEIR
CHILDREN'S EDUCATION THAT CAN BE
FILLED WITH ALTERNATIVE OPTIONS.
WE KNOW THAT SCHOOL CHOICE WORKS
BECAUSE STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT
BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS IN
CHARTER SCHOOLS. HAVE OUTPACED
THEIR PEERS IN TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. THE DATA IS OUT
THERE IF YOU GUYS WOULD LOOK AT
IT. THERE'S A PROBLEM IN OUR
EDUCATION SYSTEM BUT THANKFULLY
THERE'S A WAY TO FIX IT. SENATE
BILL TWO NINETY TWO- THE SENATE
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT S. CI
FIVE WHICH IS A COMPANION
MEASURE. THAT TOGETHER ALLOWS
AND ESTABLISHES THE
CONSTITUTIONAL CALIFORNIA
EDUCATION SAVINGS ACT OF TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. THIS LEGISLATION WE
CREATE AN INDIVIDUALIZED
APPROACH TO K. THROUGH TWELVE
EDUCATION BY ALLOWING PARENTS TO
CHOOSE. AN ACCREDITED SCHOOL
THAT BEST SUITS THEIR CHILD'S
NEEDS. WE HAVE THE STUDENTS-
THAT THE STUDENTS SHARE THE PROP
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT FUNDING
IS SET AT SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO ALLOW THEM TO PAY FOR
THAT SCHOOL. THINK ABOUT THAT
FOR JUST A SECOND POOR
UNDERSERVED STUDENTS WOULD NO
LONGER BE INS IN INSTITUTIONAL
OUR LOW PERFORMING PUBLIC
SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF THEIR ZIP
CODES. IT'S COULD USE THAT MONEY
TO GET THE MIGRATED TO SEE
EDUCATION THAT SUITS THEIR
LEARNING STYLE. JUST THINK ABOUT
FOR A MOMENT THE OPPORTUNITIES
THIS WOULD CREATE FOR THE 84%
BLACK STUDENTS IN THE 76% OF
LATINO STUDENTS. THAT ARE NOT
MEETING OUR STANDARDS CURRENTLY
TODAY. UPON GRADUATION FROM HIGH
SCHOOL ANY UNUSED FUNDS WILL BE
ROLLED OVER IN THE GLOBE GO
TOWARD PAYING FOR COLLEGE THIS
BILL CREATES A SOLUTION FOR
THOSE WHO CAN'T AFFORD A COLLEGE
EDUCATION WHICH WILL ALLOW THEM
TO ROLL THIS MANY OVER. FOR IN
HIGHER EDUCATION SO THAT ARCH
STUDENTS HAVE THE ABILITY TO
EXCEL IN ANYTHING THAT THEY
CHOOSE TO DO. UPON GRADUATION
FROM HIGH SCHOOL LIKE I SAID THE
END USE FUNDS COULD BE USED FOR
COLLEGE THIS BILL WILL EMPOWER
PARENTS TO ENROLL THEIR CHILDREN
IN SCHOOLS THAT ARE BETTER
SUITED FOR THEIR INDIVIDUAL
EDUCATIONAL NEEDS. DURING THE
FIRST TWO YEARS OF TWENTY FOUR
AND TWENTY FIVE A NEWLY CREATED
EDUCATION TO SET YOU SAVINGS
ACCOUNT OR TRUST WOULD PROVIDE.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO LOWER
INCOME FAMILIES. THE MONEY AGAIN
WOULD FOLLOW THE STUDENTS
STUDENTS WOULD NO LONGER BE
TRAPPED IN THEIR LOW PERFORMING
SCHOOLS IT CODES. IF THE PARENTS
CHOSE TO USE THESE RESOURCES TO
SEND THEIR CHILD TO CROSSTOWN.
TRANSPORTATION IS COVERED SO
THAT THE CHILD COULD GET THERE.
IF THE PARENTS CHOSE A HYBRID
MODEL THERE'D BE RESOURCES
AVAILABLE FOR LAPTOPS AND THINGS
FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES FOR
EACH ONE OF THESE CHILDREN. THE
TIERED APPROACH CONTINUES IN
TWENTY TWENTY SIX A CHILD WHOSE
PARENT OR GUARDIAN THAT MAKES
LESS THAN A HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS. WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR
STARTING IN TWENTY TWENTY EIGHT
AND WOULD. BE AN IN TWENTY
TWENTY TO BE NO INCOME.
LIMITATION ON ELIGIBILITY. OUR
CHILDREN A SUFFERED ENOUGH THE
LAST SEVERAL YEARS WITH THE
EDUCATIONAL DISRUPTION OF COVERT
SHUTDOWNS REMOTE LEARNINGS AND
STRIKES. CALIFORNIA SHOULD BEGIN
TO FUNDS STUDENTS AND NOT
SYSTEMS. THAT DON'T WORK FOR
EVERY STUDENT. IF THE SYSTEM WE
HAD IN PLACE NOW- WORKED FOR
EVERY STUDENT THEN WE WOULDN'T
HAVE 84% OF OUR BLACK STUDENTS
AND SEVEN NEED FOR. OF OUR- LEFT
CITY FAIL. IN THE SYSTEM. LET'S
PROVIDE FUNDING TO PROGRAMS
THEY'RE PUTTING STUDENTS FIRST
AND PROVIDING ADDITIONAL
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES. FOR
SCHOOL CHILDREN UP AND DOWN OUR
STATE OUR FUTURE IN THE FUTURE
OF OUR CHILDREN DEPENDS ON IT.
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT AS LANCE CHRISTIANSEN
FROM THE CALIFORNIA POLICY SETH
CENTER AND CRISTINA LASTER A
MOTHER WHO'S PUTTING HER
CHILDREN'S EDUCATION. ABOVE ALL
ELSE AND THAT THIS WOULD BENEFIT
HER AND HER FAMILY ALONG WITH
MANY OTHER FAMILIES IN OUR
STATE. OUR CHILDREN'S FUTURE IS
ON THE LINE AND IT'S TIME FOR
CALIFORNIA TO PUT THE NEEDS OF
OUR STUDENTS FIRST. AND STOP
CONSISTS CONSISTENTLY FUNDING
FAILED SYSTEMS AND GIVE OUR
PARENTS AN OPTION FOR A HIGHER
QUALITY EDUCATION FOR ALL OF OUR
STUDENTS. LANCE WELCOME MR
CHRISTENSEN. THANK YOU CHAIR
MEMBERS OF COMMITTEE COULD BE
WITH YOU TODAY WE CALIFORNIA
POLICY CENTER RIGHT PROUD
SUPPORT AND SPONSORS OF S. B.
TWO NINETY TWO. WHICH WILL
CREATE AN EDUCATION THINGS
ACCOUNT FOR ANY CHILD IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM TO ALLOW
FOR GENERAL FUND DOLLARS TO GO
FOR A PRIVATE SCHOOL EDUCATION.
IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD OR ACROSS
THE STATE. PUBLIC EDUCATION I
STATES HAS BEEN TELLING OUR
CHILDREN FOR A LONG TIME
CALIFORNIANS ARE DIFFERENT
RECENT STATISTICS SHOW THAT
CALIFORNIA'S FIFTIETH AND
LITERACY. THE STUDIES. THE
PROBLEM IS MORE PRONOUNCED WITH
OUR INNATE TESTS. WHERE WE ARE
CONSISTENTLY RANKING BELOW THIS
OTHER STATES STUDENTS IN THE
BOTTOM TEARS UP ALMOST EVERY
ACADEMIC METRICS. PRINCE NEED
MORE OPTIONS. IN THE GOVERNOR'S
PROPOSED BUDGET THIS YEAR IT
SHOWS THE EIGHT K. THROUGH
TWELVE PER PEOPLE FINDING. HOLES
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED
AND NINETEEN DOLLARS. FOR THE
GENERAL FUND IN THE PROPOSITION
NINETY EIGHT FUNDS CATEGORY.
IT'S THE HIGHEST EVER AND THE
TOTAL AMOUNT IS TWENTY THREE
THOUSAND SEVEN HUNDRED AND
TWENTY THREE DOLLARS PER PEOPLE
WHEN ACCOUNTING FOR ALL SOURCES.
THE AVERAGE PRIVATE SCHOOL
TUITION IN CALIFORNIA IS
FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS. YET
THESE PUBLIC FUNDS ARE
SEGREGATED FROM NON GOVERNMENT
SCHOOLS. THAT OUR PUBLIC FACING
TOWARDS PARENTS AND ALLOW FOR A
PUBLIC EDUCATION AS GUARANTEED
IN ARTICLE NINE OF STATE
CONSTITUTION. AND RECENT UNITED
STATES SUPREME COURT RULINGS
HAVE REMOVED ANY ROADBLOCKS
STATES HAVE FACED IN THE PAST.
ON THESE KINDS OF GIVING. AND WE
HAVE NOW SEVEN STATES THIS IS
LAST YEAR THEY HAVE UNLIMITED
EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNTS
INCLUDING WEST VIRGINIA ARIZONA
UTAH IOWA ARKANSAS AND OTHERS.
WE BELIEVE THAT SB TWO NINETY
TWO SABATINI TO FUND THESE
CHILDREN THEIR EDUCATION TO GIVE
FLEXIBILITY AND TO PROMOTE THEIR
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND WE
APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT THANK
YOU VERY MUCH. MISS LESTER AND-
WELCOME. I AM CRISTINA LASTER A
MOM AND A GRANDMOTHER IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA AND I STILL
HAVE SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN. I'M
GONNA READ OFFICE ALSO WITHIN MY
TWO MINUTES. I AM HERE TODAY TO
SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF SB TWO
NINETY TO A BILL THAT WILL GIVE
PARENTS THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE
BEST EDUCATION FOR THEIR
CHILDREN. AS A MEMBER OF THE
BLACK COMMUNITY I BELIEVE THAT
THIS BILL IS CRITICAL FOR THE
FUTURE SUCCESS FOR OF OUR
CHILDREN IN FAMILIES. FAR TOO
LONG OUR CHILDREN HAVE BEEN
TRAPPED IN FAILING SCHOOLS THAT
DO NOT PROVIDE THEM WITH THE
EDUCATION THEY NEED TO SUCCEED
IN LIFE. CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS HAVE
PROVEN OVER TWENTY ONE YEARS TO
LACK THE RESOURCES OR ABILITY
NECESSARY TO PROVIDE A QUALITY
EDUCATION OF BLACK CHILDREN.
MOST RECENTLY AVAILABLE FROM THE
DATA FROM CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION SHOWS THAT BLACK
STUDENTS CONTINUE TO BE THE
LOWEST PERFORMING. SUBGROUP WITH
70% NOT MEETING ENGLISH LANGUAGE
ARTS STANDARDS IN 84% NOT
MEETING MATH STANDARDS. AS
EVERYONE RESULT MANY BLACK
CHILDREN ARE LEFT BEHIND. UNABLE
TO ACCESS COMPREHENSIVE RIGOROUS
ACADEMIC OPPORTUNITIES. AND THEY
DO A DESPERATELY NEED THEM TO
ENSURE THEIR FUTURE SUCCESS. BUT
SB TWO NINETY TWO OFFERS A
GLIMMER OF HOPE. IT RECOGNIZES
THAT WE AS PARENTS ARE THE BEST
ADVOCATES THE MOST CREDIBLE
SOURCE OF INFORMATION FOR OUR
CHILDREN. AND THAT WE SHOULD
HAVE THE RIGHT TO CHOOSE THE
EDUCATION THAT IS BEST FOR OUR
CHILDREN. BY GIVING PARENTS THE
ABILITY TO CHOOSE THE BEST TYPE
OF EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENTS FOR
THEIR CHILDREN WE ENSURE THAT
OUR CHILDREN HAVE ACCESS TO A
QUALITY EDUCATION THAT THEY
DESERVE. THE TYPE OF EDUCATION
THAT CALIFORNIA HAS PROVEN IT
CANNOT. BE TRUSTED TO PROVIDE
BLACK CHILDREN. WHO ARE DID.
AFFECTED WITHOUT ACCESS TO
QUALITY EDUCATION MANY BLACK
CHILDREN ARE ABLE. IN THESE
ENVIRONMENTS TO DEVELOP THE
SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE NECESSARY
AND ARE SUBJECT TO GRADUATING
FROM THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
GAP UNTIL THE WHAT RACIAL WEALTH
GAP. THE FACT NO PROGRESS HAS
BEEN MADE IN CALIFORNIA AFTER
DECADES OF ALLUDING TO CLOSING
ACHIEVEMENT GAPS MEANS BLACK
STUDENTS HAVE BEEN CONSISTENTLY
FELL BY SCHOOLS IN WAYS THAT
OTHER STUDENTS HAVE NOT
EXPERIENCED. THIS SYSTEMIC
FAILURE POSES A THREAT TO OUR
UPWARD MOBILITY. AND COMMUNITY
LIVELIHOOD MAKING IT ONE OF THE
MOST IMPORTANT CIVIL RIGHTS
ISSUES OF TODAY. I ASK THAT YOU
CONSIDER OUR FREEDOM TO CHOOSE
THE BEST AN APPROPRIATE
EDUCATION FOR OUR CHILDREN AND
EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITY AND
EXPERIENCE THAT DOES NOT STIFLE.
HINDER OR LIMIT THEIR ACADEMIC
POTENTIAL. AND FUTURE CAREER
PROSPECTS BUT GIVES THEM HOPE
FOR THE TYPE OF FUTURE YOU WANT
FOR YOUR CHILDREN. FURTHERMORE I
ASK YOU TO CONSIDER PASSING SB
TWO NINE TWO. IN THE FAILURE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS HAVE
PERPETUATED ON TO. FAILURE THAT
LEADS TO SOCIALS THAT HAVE
PLAYED THE BLACK COMMUNITY FAR
TOO LONG AND FOR GENERATIONS.
CHILDREN WHO ARE ABLE TO RECEIVE
A QUALITY EDUCATION ARE MORE
LIKELY TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL.
EXPERIENCE UNEMPLOYMENT AND HAVE
LOWER INCOMES AS ADULTS. THIS
NOT ONLY AFFECTS THE INDIVIDUAL
BUT ALSO HIS LAST RACE UNITY AS
YOU RAMP UP PLEASE AS A CIVIL
RIGHTS ISSUE. ACCESS TO QUALITY
EDUCATION IS ESSENTIAL FOR THE
ADVANCEMENT EMPOWERMENT OF THE
BLACK COMMUNITY EDUCATION IS A
FUNDAMENTAL HUMAN RIGHT AND OUR
CHILDREN SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO A
QUALITY EDUCATION. BUILDING
SCHOOLS REPRESENT A SIGNIFICANT
BARRIER TO ACHIEVING THIS GOAL
AND IT IS OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
ADDRESS THIS ISSUE AND PROVIDE
BLACK CHILDREN WITH THE BEST
OPPORTUNITIES NEWPORT. THANK YOU

THERE OTHERS IN THE COMMITTEE
ROOM LIKE TESTING SUPPORT. OF

OPPOSITION TO SB TWO NINETY TWO
AND THE CORRESPONDING SCA- AND
THESE MEASURES WOULD ALLOW FOR

INTENDED FOR PUBLIC EDUCATION TO
BE USED FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL
VOUCHERS INCLUDING RELIGIOUS
SCHOOLS- CTA POSES THIS EFFORT
FOR A NUMBER OF REASONS BUT I'LL
HIGHLIGHT A FEW. OF FIRST THESE
MEASURES SIMPLY UNDERMINE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS BY DIVERTING DESPERATELY
NEEDED RESOURCES AWAY FROM OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. PRIVATE
SCHOOL VOUCHERS ARE PARTICULARLY
DETRIMENTAL TO OUR MOST
VULNERABLE STUDENT POPULATIONS
SUCH AS STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES ENGLISH LEARNERS.
LOW INCOME STUDENTS LGBT
STUDENTS AND OTHERS. AS THE
STUDENTS ARE LESS LIKELY TO BE
ACCEPTED OR BE ABLE TO AFFORD
PRIVATE SCHOOL EVEN WITH THE
VOUCHER. AND THEREFORE THIS
PROPOSAL DOES NOT OFFER A REAL
CHOICE FOR STUDENTS AND
FAMILIES. ALSO AS NOTED IN THE
ANALYSIS- THIS BILL AND I CA
WILL HAVE A SIGNIFICANT IMPACT
ON THE STATE BUDGET. AND THE L.
A. O. ESTIMATED AT THE COST OF A
SIMILAR INITIATIVE TO BE ABOUT
FOUR TO SIX BILLION DOLLARS-
JUST TO FIND EXISTING- PRIVATE
SCHOOL STUDENTS. WHO ARE LIKELY
HIGHER INCOME- THIS WOULD EITHER
COME FROM WITHIN THE EXISTING
PROP NINETY EIGHT OR FROM THE
NONPROFIT I DECIDED THE BUDGET.
DEPENDING ON THE CROP FORMULA.
AND ADDITIONALLY THIS PROPOSAL
WOULD DIVERT PROBABLY NEED
FUNDING TO HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS INCLUDING RELIGIOUS
INSTITUTIONS WHICH WOULD REDUCE
OUR PER STUDENT FUNDING LEVEL
FOR. K. TWELVE AND COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AND SEE TO A BELIEVE
THE STATE SHOULD FULLY FUND OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND IMPOSES A
SYSTEM THAT WOULD ALLOCATE-
PUBLIC TAX DOLLARS TO EITHER
INDIVIDUALS OR NON PUBLIC
AGENCIES SO. FOR THESE REASONS
WE OPPOSE DEVELOPING THANK YOU.
WELCOME SIR GOOD MORNING- GERMAN
THURMOND AND MEMBERS AND CENTER
GROVE CARLOS MACHADO WITH
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION. LIKE THE PREVIOUS
SPEAKER I CSPA IS OPPOSED TO
THIS MEASURE AND- THAT PROGRAM
THAT THE- THAT THE TWO MEASURES
CREATE- IS THAT ESSENTIALLY
VOUCHER SYSTEM THAT WOULD
SIGNIFICANTLY SIPHON. ESSENTIAL
PUBLIC DOLLARS AWAY FROM THE
STATE'S PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM
IN PLACE IN THE HANDS OF
UNELECTED PRIVATELY FUNDED
PRIVATE SCHOOLS WITH LITTLE. TO
NO END HERE INSTEAD PUBLIC
ACCOUNTABILITY. AND IN MANY
CASES A PRIVATE SCHOOL NOT BE
ABLE- BE AN OPTION VIABLE OPTION
FOR FAMILIES THAT RELY UPON
SCHOOL PROVIDED TRANSPORTATION.
MEALS AND OTHER CRITICAL-
SUPPORT. THAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PROVIDE- FOR EXAMPLE THERE'S
MORE THAN THREE MILLION STUDENTS
ARE ELIGIBLE FOR FREE AND
REDUCED LUNCH RIGHT NOW- UNDER
OUR CURRENT SYSTEM. AND
CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS
TRANSPORTATION. SYSTEM SUPPORTS
THREE MILLION PASSENGERS RIDE
TODAY SO IT'S A PRETTY
SIGNIFICANT- GROUP OF STUDENTS
THAT MIGHT NOT BE ABLE TO
ACCESS- PRIVATE SCHOOLS- D. ALSO
BY SHIFTING FUNDS AWAY FROM THE-
GENERAL FUND THE NONPROFIT
NINETY GENERAL FUND. THIS WILL
LEAD TO BUDGET CUTS IN PROGRAMS
SUCH AS- CHILD CARE HOMELESS
HOMELESSNESS HEALTHCARE FAMILY
SERVICES AND OTHER SAFETY NET-
SERVICES THAT MANY OF THE-
FAMILIES THAT PUBLIC SCHOOLS
ARE. RELYING UPON- WILL
EXPERIENCE CUTS ON THAT SIDE AS
WELL AND FOR THESE REASONS CSPA
SUPPOSED TO ON BOTH- S. B. TWO
NINETY TWO AND AS HE EIGHT FIVE

LINE. I. TO AS CHAIR- INDICATOR

SCHOOL MEMBER. MARIN THIS
SUPPORT OF THIS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH NOW WAS. AT THE FINAL ONES
IF YOU ARE SUPPORT OR APPLE TO
S. TWO NINE TWO POINT ONE PLEASE
GO AHEAD WHAT. A DISCUSS ANY
ELSE GOING. ONE ZERO. AND MR
HERE NOBODY ELSE'S QUEUING UP
ANYTHING HE WAS NOT A LET LET
LET'S COME BACK TO COMMITTEE
ROOMS OF CENTER GROVE A WANT TO
RISK WITH TO AB. YOU KNOW NO ONE
KNOWS AND OF STUDENTS THAT WILL
TAKE IT ARE REAL IN A PROBE LIKE
THIS- IT'S NOT GONNA HUNDRED PER
BECAUSE IT'S JUST IT WILL BE A
LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE FOUND THAT A
PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM IS GOOD
FOR THEIR KIDS BUT THERE'S A
HUGE PROPORTION AND NUMBER OF
OUR CHILDREN THAT DON'T DO WELL-
SPECIFICALLY BRACKET BLACK AND
BROWN I'M CHILDREN DON'T DO WELL
IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM IN
THIS GIVES PARENTS AN
OPPORTUNITY. THE BILL SIMPLY
ALLOWS PARENTS TO- PROVIDE HAVE
THE RESOURCES TO PROVIDE THE
EDUCATION THAT WORKS BEST FOR
THEIR STUDENT THE LAST A WITNESS
IN OPPOSITION SAID YOU KNOW THAT
THERE'S THREE MILLION KIDS THAT
ARE BUSTER TRANSPORTED THIS BILL
ALLOWS YOU TO USE THOSE
RESOURCES FOR TRANSPORTATION
WHETHER YOU WANT. THAT YOUR
CHILD TO GET OUT OF YOUR LOW
PERFORMING ZIP CODE SCHOOL AND
GO ACROSS TOWN TO THE OTHER
SCHOOL OR YOU WANT THEM TO GO TO
A PRIVATE OR- OR CHRISTIAN OR
CATHOLIC OR- WHATEVER SCHOOL.
IT'S WHATEVER SCHOOL MAYBE IT'S
A TECHNICAL SCHOOL WHATEVER
SCHOOL WORKS BEST FOR YOUR
CHILD- AND IT'S NOT LIKE THE
MONEY GOES. YOU KNOW INTO BUT
JUST HAND OVER TO THE SCHOOL IT
GOES INTO A SAVINGS ACCOUNT. AND
LET'S JUST SAY THAT. APPEAR
EASES THE SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS A WISELY AND THEY USE IT
FOR TRANSPORTATION AFTER SCHOOL
CARE TUTORING IF THE STUDENT
NEEDS TUTORING- WHATEVER MODEL
WORKS BEST FOR THEIR STUDENT TO
GET THEM INTO. A BETTER LIVING
OF SOCIETY AND BREAKS THAT
GENERATIONAL GAP THAT YOU HAVE
WHERE THERE'S- ECONOMIC
DISPARITIES. AND SO IT GIVES
THEM AN OPPORTUNITY FOR A
DIFFERENT EDUCATION. AND THE
OTHER PERSON IN OPPOSITION SAID
THAT THESE VOUCHERS WOULD
DESTROY IT THAT IT'S NOT ABOUT
HER BUT THIS THAT WOULD DESTROY
THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. WELL
THAT'S NOT TRUE TO THAT YOU KNOW
YOU THEY WOULD BE GETTING MORE
RESEARCH IS FOR FEWER STUDENTS.
TO GET TWENTY THREE OR TWENTY
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS PER
STUDENT NOW IT ONLY COST ABOUT
SEVENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IS WHAT
WE'RE ALLOWING. THESE PARENTS TO
HAVE SO I JUST- I JUST THINK THE
OPPOSITION REMARKS WERE NOT-
VERY TRUTHFUL BECAUSE IT DOES
PROVIDE FOR TRANSPORTATION. IT
DOES PROVIDE FOR THE THINGS THAT
OUR STUDENTS NEED AND IF I'M I'D
HAVE TO DEFERRED ALLOW LANCE BUT
WOULD PROVIDE ALSO FOR MEALS AT
SCHOOL. IF THEY- ON. A CITY. SO
YOU IT'S NOT HER- IT'S NOT AS
THE AND A LOT TO MISS OF THE K.
AND THE SCHOOLS THEN DECIDE HOW
TO APPROPRIATE THAT MONEY IS
NECESSARY. SO IT'S NOT A VOUCHER
PROGRAM AND THAT'S WHAT BOTH
MEMBERS OF THE OPPOSITION SAID
IT'S A SAVINGS ACCOUNT THAT
PARENTS HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
USE. AND IT DOES ROLL OVER. IF
THEY DON'T USE THAT ON THE USE
IT MORE WISELY AND OUR CHILDREN
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO
COLLEGE AND HELP THEM PAY FOR
THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION. IT'S A
GREAT SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM
THAT WE HAVE. AND SO. LOOKING
TO. THE COMMITTEE ANY OF THE
QUESTIONS COMMENTS BUT LET ME
ASK. THIS ONE QUESTION WILL
CREATE OKAY PLEASE. THANK YOU
THANK YOU. CHAIR WELL NOT
PERFECT. I THINK MOST OF WORLD
VIEWS. THE UNITED STATES HIGHER
EDUCATION- UNIVERSITY IN COLLEGE
SYSTEM AS YOU KNOW. THE PARAGON
OF WELL WHAT WE NEED. ARE IN
TERMS OF YOU KNOW EDUCATING.
PEOPLE AT THAT LEVEL. I THINK
ONE OF THE REASONS FOR THAT IS
WE ACTUALLY HAVE FREE MARKET
FORCES IN PLACE BECAUSE OF A
PELL GRANT. SO YOU CAN TAKE THAT
PELL GRANT AND YOU CAN SPEND IT.
WHEREVER YOU WANT. WE HAVE HERE
AT THE K. TWELVE SYSTEM. IT'S A
MONOPOLY. AND IN MANY CASES IT'S
A ONE SIZE FITS ALL WHICH DOES
NOT. EVERYBODY LEARNS
DIFFERENTLY I'D ONE. ONE CHILD
WHO IS SET EIGHT PIECE SUIT
ANOTHER CHILD SPECIAL NEEDS SO
AS YOU SAID YOU KNOW EVERY
EVERYBODY'S DIFFERENT. AND I
KNOW PEOPLE DON'T LIKE TO
COMPETE BUT THE FACT OF THE
MATTER IS IF OUR PUBLIC SCHOOLS
ACTUALLY HAD TO COMPETE. I THINK
THEY WOULD GET BETTER AS WELL.
AND I DO TAKE ISSUE WITH THE
SECOND- FIVE POSITION SPEAKERS
SAID THEY'LL BE A LACK OF
ACCOUNTABILITY. IF WE HAVE THESE
SCHOLARSHIPS ACTUALLY BRING MORE
ACCOUNTABILITY BECAUSE IS THE
PARENT THAT'S GOING TO DECIDE
WHERE THOSE FUNDS. THOSE FUNDS
ARE R. SPENCER BE GREATER
ACCOUNTABILITY- WITH THIS SYSTEM
IS SUPPOSED TO NO ACCOUNTABILITY
WHICH WE HAVE NOW. BECAUSE WE
HAVEN'T MONOPOLY THAT- CONTROLS
ALL THE FUNDING CONTROLS PUBLIC
POLICY UP HERE AND DOESN'T
REALLY WANT TO. BE BEHOLDEN TO
PARENTS AND TO STUDENTS SO. I AM
VERY EXCITED ABOUT THIS PROPOSAL
I SUPPORTED WHEN IT'S- WINS
APPROPRIATE TIME. TO MAKE THE
MOTION TO MOVE THE BILL AND ALSO
SENATOR WILK- THROUGH THE CHAIR
SENATOR WILK. AND A MEMBERS OF
THE DYESS THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION HAS
ACCOUNTABILITY OVER THIS PROCESS
AS WELL WHICH IS TONY THURMOND
NOW. I KNOW THAT IT'S AN ELECTED
POSITION AND IT COULD CHANGE THE
FUTURE BUT THE SUPERINTENDENT OF
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION THAT THE
PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ELECT HAVE THE- THE-
A STORY. TO AUDIT REVIEW AND.
SEE WHERE THIS MONEY IS SPENT SO
IT'S NOT JUST PARENT THERE IS AN
ACCOUNT. PROCESS AS WELL. OKAY
ABSENT RICHER BERMAN. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH. SO LET ME JUST BEGIN
MY COMMENTS WITH. THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT- THE
CALIFORNIA CONSTITUTION AS I'VE
LEARNED. REQUIRES US AS A STATE
TO HAVE A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM.
AB SO. IN OTHER WORDS IT
BEHOOVES US AS A LEGISLATION TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE
FUNDING AND MAKE OUR OUR OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS HOLE. THEY HAVE
THE ABILITY TO ADDRESS OUR- THE
NEEDS OF OUR STUDENTS. HAVING
SAID THAT. I THINK THE OUT MOM.
CRISTINA LASTER. A YOU HAVE A
POWERFUL VOICE AND I AM ASSUMING
THAT ONE DAY SOON WE'LL SEE
RUNNING FOR OFFICE. AB BECAUSE
IT WILL BE A POWERFUL ADVOCATE
ON THAT. DID A BEAUTIFUL JOB
TODAY IN EXPRESSING CONVEYING
YOUR CONCERNS AND YOUR PASSION-
AS A PARENT SO KUDOS ON THAT AND
IF YOU HAVEN'T THOUGHT ABOUT IT
I WOULD ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK
FOR IN SEEK OFFICE PUBLIC
OFFICE. AND BUT HAVING SAID THAT
SO OUR RULES OF LEGITIMACY AS A
CALIFORNIA IN THE STATE
CONSTITUTION SAYS WE HAVE TO
PROVIDE A PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM
FOR STUDENTS THAT IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY. HAVING SAID THAT
IT IS COMPELLING TO NOTE THAT-
THESE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS AB
OUR STUDENTS HAVE NOT. BEEN VERY
SUCCESSFUL IN ACHIEVING- MINIMUM
READING AND MATH AB SCORES. AND
THERE'S SOMETHING TO BE SAID
ABOUT THE- EVEN MORE SO- ABOUT
THE AND BY THE WAY I AM. MAX
AGAIN- ORIGIN BORN IN AMERICA-
PATRIOTIC AND LOVE MY HERITAGE.
I'VE ALSO TAUGHT IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. AB TAUGHT FIRST SECOND
THIRD ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS-
I ALSO SAT ON THE LOCAL SCHOOL
BOARD SO PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR ME
ARE VERY IMPORTANT. TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE HAVE. TEACHERS WHO ARE
PASSIONATE ABOUT THEIR SUBJECT
MATTER PASSIONATE ABOUT CHILDREN
LEARNING AND I THINK THERE'S
MANY MANY TO BE SAID THAT. ARE
WITHIN OUR AREA. BUT THERE'S
SOMETHING TO BE SAID ABOUT ONE.
AB OUR STUDENTS FAILING. AB EVEN
PRE PANDEMIC TIMES. THE AMOUNT
OF MONEY THAT WE'RE SPENDING ON
HERE. AND UNDERSTANDING FROM.
BEING IN SCHOOL SPEAKING FOR
TEACHERS IN THE A SCHOOL BOARD
THAT NOT EVERY SCHOOL HAS THE
RESOURCES MEANING. THE EXPERTISE
NOT NECESSARILY THE MONEY BUT
THE EXPERTISE. AB THE SKILL SETS
M. THAT ARE NEEDED TO BE ABLE TO
MEET EVERY CHILD'S NEEDS WE ALL
KNOW THAT WE WERE HONEST AND
HAVE HONEST CONVERSATIONS WE CAN
AGREE THAT NOT EVERY SCHOOL HAS
THAT ABILITY. AND IT WOULD BE
INCREDIBLY EMPOWERING TO OUR
FAMILIES AND TO THE STUDENTS TO
HAVE THE ABILITY TO HAVE THE
FUNDS. HE MOVED WITH THEM TO A
SCHOOL THAT WOULD MEET. THAT
CHILD'S NEEDS BECAUSE A
PARTICULAR SCHOOL MAY HAVE THAT
ABILITY. I'VE ALSO HEARD. THAT
THERE ARE CERTAIN SCHOOLS WITHIN
CERTAIN GEOGRAPHICAL AREAS OR
ZIP CODES AS YOU CALLED IT THAT
THERE'S A CULTURE WHERE CHILDREN
OF COLOR. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE
ACADEMIC IN OUR ENDEAVORS OR
BEING ACADEMICALLY CHALLENGED
BECAUSE AND THEY ARE AB THEY'RE
BULLIED. THEY'RE BULLIED BECAUSE
THEY WANNA BE ACADEMICALLY LEE-
DRIVEN AND THEN THEY'RE IN AN
ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY DON'T
FEEL SAFE OR THEY ARE LITERALLY
PHYSICALLY ATTACKED BECAUSE OF
THAT. AND IT IT SADDENS ME IT
SADDENS ME THAT WE HAVE THOSE
OPPORTUNITIES BUT I DO AGREE
THAT WHEN WE DO HAVE THE ABILITY
TO CHOOSE. AB EDUCATIONAL
ENVIRONMENTS THAT ARE SAFE AND
MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR CHILDREN-
IT DOES ALLOW US TO COMPETE AND
I CAME FROM A SCHOOL DISTRICT
AND WE HAD A PUBLIC CHARTER
SCHOOL WE HAD A PRIVATE CHARTER
SCHOOL AND WE HAVE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. AND BEING ON THE BOARD
I CAN TELL YOU THAT MY
SUPERINTENDENT MY FELLOW SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS AND STOP THE WORK
WHOLE HEARTEDLY IN MAKING SURE
AND ENSURING THAT WE HAD
COMPETITIVE PROGRAMS TO COMPETE
WITH THOSE CHARTER SCHOOLS. AND
IT MADE US BETTER. IT MADE US
BETTER IS THE PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEM. SO I DON'T FEAR I DON'T
FEAR COMPETITION I DON'T FEAR NO
DIFFERENT MODALITIES I THINK IT
BRINGS OUT THE BEST. IN RESEARCH
IT BRINGS OUT THE BEST IN
PRACTICE. I AM. YOU KNOW THIS
MEASURES ARE GOING TO PASS A
COMMITTEE. EIGHT I AND I HATE TO
SAY THIS BUT CENTER GROVE KNOWS
THAT I KNOW THAT IT'S NOT GOING
TO PASS COMMITTEE. IT WILL PASS
LEGISLATURE- QUITE FRANKLY IT'S
MORE OF A STATEMENT AND IT'S A
STATEMENT THAT I THINK. OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM NEEDS TO
HEAR. BECAUSE THERE ARE PARENTS
SUCH AS MRS MISS LESTER HERE WHO
FEEL DISENFRANCHISED WHO FEELS
THAT THE SYSTEM HAS FAILED HER
CHILD. OR HER GRANDCHILDREN.
THERE ARE MANY MANY WHO FEEL
THAT WAY. THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN
TO HEART. IN THE WAY THAT WE
MOVE FORWARD. THIS BILL SHOULD
BE YOU KNOW AS AS SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID YOU KNOW
THIS BILL. SHOULD BE A SOURCE OF
CONVERSATION. AND I CHALLENGE. I
KNOW IT'S NOT GOING TO GO
ANYWHERE I'M GONNA SUPPORT THIS
BILL BECAUSE I DO WONDER PRESENT
THE VOICE OF MANY PARENTS WHO
FEEL DISENFRANCHISED WHO FEEL
THEIR CHILD HAD BEEN FAILED. I
KNOW WON'T GO ANYWHERE BUT AT
THE SAME TOKEN I UNDERSTAND THAT
OUR PUBLIC SERVICES WHAT IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY. AND AS SUCH WE
HAVE TO MAKE SURE AND ENSURE
THAT THEY HAVE THE RESOURCES AND
THE OPPORTUNITIES TO MAKE SURE
THAT OUR TEACHERS ARE TRAINED
THAT THEY HAVE THE SUPPORT THAT
THEY NEED IN THE CLASSROOM. AS
WE MOVE FORWARD SO THAT EVERY
CHILD IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. RECEIVES THE SUPPORT
AND THE RESOURCES TO BE
SUCCESSFUL BLACK BROWN WHITE
YELLOW WHAT EVER THE COLOR BE
ITS CHILDREN AND THAT IS OUR
RESPONSIBILITY. AND WITH THAT- I
WILL BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS
BILL AND LET IT BE A MESSAGE TO
HAVE. THE RESERVATION CATIONS
ADDITIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE'RE DOING THE BEST FOR THE
CHILD TO MAKE SURE THAT NO CHILD
IS LEFT BEHIND. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU SENATOR VOTED NO INCREASE
COME. BY ANY OTHER MEMBERS
COMING. SIX CENTER GLAZER. WELL
I JUST WANNA SAY I THE GUY. THE
CONVERSATION- THAT YOUR BILL IS
GENERATED- I THINK THAT IN A-
THAT YOU'RE RIGHT WE HAVE A LOT
OF FAILING SCHOOLS IN OUR STATE
AND WE NEED TO BE PAYING A LOT
MORE ATTENTION TO IT IN THIS
COMMITTEE AND THE LEGISLATURE-
AND IT'S A POINT OF GREAT
FRUSTRATION FOR ME AND I KNOW
FOR MANY OTHERS. UNFORTUNATELY
TODAY- I CANNOT SUPPORT THIS
BILL- I BELIEVE THAT THE
MEDICINE THAT IT PROVIDES WOULD
ACTUALLY KILL THE PATIENT- THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND FORTUNATELY
SO. DATA I WANTED JUST REITERATE
THAT I WISH THAT. OUR LEADERSHIP
HERE IN THIS COMMITTEE- AND IT
OUT IN THE LEGISLATURE WOULD PAY
A LOT MORE ATTENTION TO FAILING
SCHOOLS. IT IS IT IS. TERRIBLE
AND IT. LACKS A INCREDIBLE
BREAKDOWN OF SUPPORT FOR SO
MANY. IN OUR STATE. THAT DEPEND
UPON EDUCATION TO. GIVE
THEMSELVES THAT THE GOOD SHOTS
AND LYFT SO WITH THAT THANK YOU.
GEORGE I APPRECIATE THAT. FOR MY
PART. I SHARE YOUR YOUR-
FRUSTRATION A GREW THE SAN THAT
IS WORK BEFORE US AS A- OF THE
MOST REALLY TELLING IN THIS.
ROLE YOU KNOW BUT THAT IS THAT
IS MY- DAYS USED TO- AND
FUNDAMENTAL ADDRESS. IT YOU KNOW
EXACTLY WHAT THE WHAT IS
DESCRIBED- BUT BUT IN SO DOING
MAKE CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS ALL THE
WAY. ACROSS THE BOARD BETTER-
GENERATIONAL EQUITY IS GOING I
JUST WANT TO AGREE WITH A- THE
COMMENTS MISTER CHAIR IN IN OF A
SENATOR GLAZER I UNDERSTAND THE
FRUSTRATION AND- AS A MOTHER OF
TWO TEENAGE CHILDREN IT IS
FRUSTRATING- TO SEE OUR SCHOOLS-
NOT HAVING THE RESOURCES THAT
THEY NEED- TO BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
THE EDUCATION. THAT OUR CHILDREN
DESERVES I. I HAVE TO SAY THAT-
I LIVE THROUGH THE PROCESS AND
WENT TO SCHOOL AT A TIME WE
CALIFORNIA DROPPED FROM FIFTH. I
IN TERMS OF STUDENT SUCCESS TO
FORTY SEVENTH AND IT WAS AT THE
TIME THAT WE CUT. OUR TAX BASE
TO FUND ARE SO PUBLIC SCHOOLS
PROPERLY THROUGH PROPOSITION
THIRTEEN. A I AGREE WE NEED TO
INVEST MORE IN EVERYDAY WE SIT
HERE MAKING THOSE THOSE REALLY
HARD DECISIONS TO TRY TO. FIGURE
OUT HOW DO WE BUILD OURSELVES
BACK- TO A POINT WHERE- OUR OUR
SCHOOLS CAN BE. AS COMPETITIVE
AS THEY CAN BE AND SO- I THINK
WE WORK TOWARD THAT EVERY DAY
THAT'S MY GOAL IS THE
LEGISLATURE LEGISLATOR TO MAKE
SURE THAT THE LEGISLATURE IS
INVESTING IN OUR STUDENTS IN
DEALING WITH THE DISPARITIES-
AND AT. I DON'T SEE TAKING
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OUT OF THE
SCHOOL SYSTEM IS THE SOLUTION TO
THAT SO I BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE
BILL TODAY THANK YOU MA'AM IN
RESPONSE TO THAT THROUGH THE
CHAIR- OF. THE PUBLIC EDUCATION
SYSTEM IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA HAS DOUBLED OVER THE
LAST TWO YEARS DOUBLED OVER THE
LAST YEARS AND WE'VE GOT NOTHING
FOR IT. OUR TEST SCORES ARE
EVIDENT- IT PROVES 84% OF BLACK
CHILDREN DO NOT MEET THE
STANDARDS. THIS IS JUST AN
OPTION M. IT IT DOES. IT RIGHT
NOW A CALIFORNIA SPENDS MORE
THAN A THOUSAND DOLLARS ABOVE
THE NATIONAL AVERAGE FOR EVERY
STUDENT THAT WE HAVE IN OUR
SYSTEM. SO THE FUNDING IS THERE
WE'RE JUST NOT GETTING WHAT WE
NEED FROM THE SYSTEM ITSELF AND
THE WAY THE SYSTEM IS SET UP.
AND WE ALLOW CHARTER SCHOOLS WE
ALLOW CHRISTIAN SCHOOLS FAITH
BASED SCHOOLS CATHOLIC SCHOOLS.
WE JUST DON'T PROVIDE THE
RESOURCES TO UNDERSERVED
FAMILIES TO PAY FOR THOSE
SCHOOLS. AND IT MIGHT BE WELL
FOR ANY WITH YOU ON THE DYESS-
CLOETE MYSELF. AS SOME PEOPLE IN
THIS ROOM TO WRITE A CHECK FOR
FOURTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR
TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR CHILD'S
PRIVATE EDUCATION WHERE THEY
EXCEL. JUST LIKE THE DATA HAS
SHOWN THAT WHEN BLACK STUDENTS
ARE ABLE TO GO TO THEIR CHARTER
SCHOOLS THE OUTPERFORM. THEIR
COUNTERPARTS IN THEIR PEERS IN
THE PUBLIC'S COOL SYSTEM. THIS
IS JUST ANOTHER AVENUE TO GIVE
PARENTS A CHOICE AND LET THE
RESOURCES FALL THE CHILD BECAUSE
THE RESOURCES THAT WE'RE
INVESTING. RIGHT. NOW IN OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEMATISED PUT
IN OUR SCHOOLS OVER THE LAST TWO
YEARS AND OUR PERFORMANCE THE
PERFORMANCE FOR STUDENTS
PARTICULARLY BRACKET BLACK AND
BROWN STUDENTS. HAS EXCEEDINGLY
AND ABUNDANTLY THE INCREASE IN
THE FALLIBILITY THE FAILURE
RATE. AND IT'S JUST SAD AND THIS
IS AN OPTION. AND I REALLY DO
WISH THAT AND NOTHING OFFENSIVE
IN THIS IN ANY WAY THAT YOU HAD
THE COURAGE. TO SAY LET'S TRY
IT. M. MAYBE WE JUST DO THE
FIRST YEAR I'D BE WILLING TO
TAKE IN A MINUTE LET THE POOREST
OF THE POOR IN OUR SYSTEM. GET
THESE RESOURCES IN USE THIS
MAYBE WE TAKEN AMENDMENT I'D BE
WILLING TO WORK WITH YOU ON
THAT. BECAUSE IT'S A TIER THING
DOESN'T MEAN EVERY STUDENT GETS
IT JUST MEANS THOSE IN THOSE
FAILING SCHOOL SYSTEMS THAT ARE
HERE LIKE IN THE CENTER OF LOS
ANGELES THE CENTER OF KERN
COUNTY. THE CENTER OF ON A LOT
OF OUR SYSTEMS WERE THE POOREST
IT'S LIKE A REVOLVING DOOR WERE
BAD TEACHERS THIS GO TO THESE
LOW PERFORMING SCHOOLS AND
THERE'S NO WAY OUT FOR THESE
KIDS. SO I WOULD TAKE AN
AMENDMENT AND NOT CONTINUE TO.
HEAR SYSTEM LET'S TRY IT WITH
OUR LOWEST PERFORMING. AN AREAS
THE SCHOOLS THE LOWEST INCOME
EARNERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA GIVEN THIS ACCESS TO
THE SEVENTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS.
LET THOSE PARENTS USE THAT MONEY
TO JUST SEND THEIR KID ACROSS
TOWN TO THE SCHOOL THAT WORKS
BEST. IN THAT NEIGHBOR IN THAT
AREA BUT THEY'RE NOT ALLOWED TO
GO TO BECAUSE THERE'S TWO
STREETS OVER FROM WHERE THEY
LIVE. JUST YOU HAVE THE COURAGE
TO DO THAT I'LL TAKE THE
AMENDMENT. AND WE WILL SEE HOW
IT WORKS IT WOULD BE LIKE A
SIMILAR LIKE A PILOT PROGRAM TO
REALLY DO THE FIRST YEAR JUST
HAVE THE COURAGE TO DO IT SO WE
CAN AT LEAST. ADDRESS THE LOWEST
PERFORMING SCHOOLS THAT WE HAVE
WITH THE POOREST EVER P. OUR
KIDS ARE. IN THESE NEIGHBORHOODS
. PRESHEAF THAT SEARCH SO FOR MY
PORTED AND ANY OTHER COMES FROM.
COMMITMENT TO SHOW JERRY I TRULY
DO APPRECIATE. WHERE YOU'RE
COMING FROM- I THINK. YOU KNOW
TO PUT A POINT WE DO HAVE AN
ALTERNATE SYSTEM. IN CALIFORNIA
SAID THAT THE CHARTER SCHOOL
SYSTEM THE PUBLIC FURNITURE
SCHOOL SYSTEM. I AND IT IS.
SOMETHING OF A WORK IN PROGRESS
BUT- I'VE SEEN. SOME REALLY
PROMISING. WORK DONE BY CHARTER
SCHOOLS AND SIMPSON REPLICATION
OF THOSE EFFORTS AND- DEPLOYED
INTO THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM TO
IT SO I REMAIN COMMITTED. TO
THAT- END OF PUBLIC EDUCATION.
OVERALL AND SO FOR THAT REASON I
WILL I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING.
YOUR MEASURE TODAY WE DO HAVE A
MOTION I THINK WAS FROM CENTER
WELCOME. IF YOU'D LIKE TO CLOSE.
ABSOLUTELY SIR THANK YOU VERY
MUCH BYE. BYE I DO KNOW THERE IS
AN OPTION AND IF YOU LOOK AT
THAT OPTION AND I'LL- YOU KNOW
THE- THE- CTA AND PUBLIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM. CAME UP IN
OPPOSED S. ALLOWING CHARTER
SCHOOLS. AND NOW IF YOU LOOK AT
THE CHARTER SCHOOL PERFORMANCE
OF BLACK AND BROWN STUDENTS THAT
IS EXCELLED. THEY'VE EXCEEDED
THEIR BLACK AND BROWN
COUNTERPARTS IN THE TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM. THIS IS IT
AGAIN IS JUST ANOTHER OPTION IT
ALLOWS PARENTS TO HAVE A CHOICE.
FOR THEIR EDUCATIONAL NEEDS FOR
THEIR STUDENT THAT WORKS BEST
FOR THEM. AND IF THE PARENTS
DON'T USE ALL OF THE RESOURCES
IT IS NOT A VOUCHER PROGRAM THAT
IS COMPLETELY MISSTATED IN THE
ANALYSIS. AND IF THE PARENTS
DON'T USE ALL THE RESOURCES.
THEN THESE THESE POOR FAMILIES
THAT ARE WORKING TWO JOBS AND
THEIR KIDS ARE MOST I WAS A
LATCHKEY KID. MY PARENTS WERE
DIVORCED. AND THAT THERE WAS NO
MONEY FOR ME TO GO TO COLLEGE.
IF THE SYSTEM WAS IN PLACE THERE
WOULD BE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO
HELP FUND COLLEGE EDUCATION IS
TO AND LIKE MY COLLEAGUE. MISTER
WILL COMPRISE SENATOR WILL BE
BROUGHT UP THE PELL GRANT
PROGRAM. IT'S DOLLARS THAT ARE
JUST USED AT THE CHOICE OF
SOMEBODY'S BEST EDUCATIONAL
DECISION AND I WOULD JUST.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR AYE

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR HOPE THIS
WILL BE A LITTLE YOU TO DIE.
BEFORE I BEGIN I'D LIKE TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE AND THE STAFF FOR
WORKING WITH MY STAFF TO BRING
ASSISTANCE THIS BILL WILL BE
TAKING THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
TO CHANGE THE DATE FROM OCTOBER
FIRST TO OCTOBER FIFTEENTH. SO
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS TODAY I'M
HERE TO PRESENT SB TWO NINETY
THREE WHICH WOULD REQUIRE THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION TO MAKE CALIFORNIA
ASSESSMENT OF STUDENT
PERFORMANCE. PROCEDURES RESULTS
PUBLICLY AVAILABLE BY OCTOBER
FIFTEENTH OF EACH YEAR WE NEED
TO KNOW HOW OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEMS ARE PERFORMING. AND THAT
GIVES US THE DATA WE NEED TO
MAKE GOOD DECISIONS ON
EDUCATION. THE CITY IS REQUIRED
TO ADMINISTER THE CAST WHICH
INCLUDES STANDARDIZED TESTING IN
ENGLISH LANGUAGE AND
MATHEMATICS. FOR GRADES THREE
THROUGH EIGHT AND ELEVEN. AT THE
END GRADE ELEVEN THE DEPARTMENT
MUST DEVELOP A CALENDAR WHICH
INCLUDES A TIMELINE FOR
REPORTING AGENCIES AND RELEASING
TEST SCORES TO THE PUBLIC
TYPICALLY THESE RESULTS. ARE
OPEN TO THE PUBLIC AS EARLY AS
THE LAST WEEK IN AUGUST THROUGH
THE FIRST WEEK OF OCTOBER.
HOWEVER THE C. D. E. DID NOT- IS
NOT CURRENTLY REQUIRED TO ADHERE
TO DEADLINES. RELATED TO THE
RELEASE OF THE STATEWIDE
RESULTS. THIS WAS A PROBLEM
DURING THE TWENTY TWENTY ONE
SCHOOL YEAR WHEN THE CD. THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION DELAYED RELEASING THIS
SPRING STATEWIDE RESULTS IN
FAILED TO PROVIDE AN ESTIMATED
TIME FOR THE RELEASE. IT WASN'T
UNTIL THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT
REQUESTED WAS SUBMITTED TO
NUMEROUS MEDIA STORIES RELATING
TO THE WITHHOLDING OF THE DATA
THAT BUT THEY WERE PUBLISHED AND
I UNDERSTAND. THERE IS A DEEP
DEEP DROP. I'M IN THE
PERFORMANCE NUMBERS. M. THEY
SHOULD BE ABLE TO THE PUBLIC THE
REQUIRED TO BE AVAILABLE TO
PUBLIC IN THIS JUST GIVES THEM A
TIME LINE TO BE ABLE TO HAVE
THEM AVAILABLE TO THE PUBLIC SO
THAT WE KNOW. HOW OUR STUDENTS
ARE PERFORMING IN PUBLIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM. DELAYING THE
RELEASE OF THIS INFORMATION
MAKES IT MORE DIFFICULT FOR
TEACHERS. FOR ACADEMICS FOR
RESEARCHERS AND POLICYMAKERS TO
MAKE DECISIONS ON INVESTMENTS TO
IMPROVE OUR STUDENT PERFORMANCE-
THAT'S WHY SB TWO NINETY THREE
WILL CREATE MORE TRANSPARENCY.
WITH ME TODAY TO SUPPORT. THEM
IN SUPPORT OF THIS BILL IS LANCE
CHRISTIANSEN WITH THE CALIFORNIA
POLICY CENTER. MR CHRISTIANSEN
WELCOME BACK. CHAIR AND MEMBERS
. THE TIME THIS IS COMMON.
MEASURE THE SYSTEM ALLOWS AND
PROVIDE FOR BOARD. RELEASE THIS

EDUCATION THEY SAID THE DENIAL
OF EDSOURCE REQUEST. TO LEAST
TEST FOR DID IT COMES AT A TIME
WHEN EDUCATORS ARE CONCERNED.
ABOUT THE PANDEMIC'S IMPACT ON
READING AND MATH PROGRESS
ESPECIALLY IN THE EARLY YEARS.
RELEASING SCORES LEADER THIS
YEAR MEANS TO THE PUBLIC WILL
LEARN ABOUT SPRING TEST. RESULTS
FOR THIRD GRADERS WHO ARE NOW
WELL IN FOURTH GRADE. IN ESSENCE
THE LONGER THESE TEST RESULTS
WITH HELP FROM THE PUBLIC THE
HARDER IT BECOMES FOR
ADMINISTRATORS TEACHERS. AND
PARENTS TO RE ORIENTATE THEIR
STRATEGIES FOR CHILDREN. FOR A
CHALLENGE IN ANY NUMBER OF
ACADEMIC REYES AND WE SUPPORT

MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY PERCENT S. BEFORE
NINETY FOUR. WHICH WOULD AMEND
CALIFORNIA EDUCATION CODE
SPECIFICALLY SECTION THIRTY FIVE
ONE FIFTY TO REQUIRE THAT SCHOOL
DISTRICT GOVERNING BOARD USE THE
REGULAR MEETING PROCESS RATHER
THAN HOLDING A SPECIAL OR
EMERGENCY MEETING WITH TAKING
ACTION TO TERMINATE A DISTRICT
SUPERINTENDENT. AND OR ASSISTANT
SUPERINTENDENT WITHOUT CAUSE SB
FOUR NINETY FOUR WOULD ALSO
CREATE A COOLING OFF PERIOD
AMELIE FONG IS SCHOOL BOARD
ELECTION DURING WHICH A
GOVERNING BOARD WOULD NOT BE
ALLOWED TO TERMINATE A DISTRICT
SUPERINTENDENT OR ASSISTANT
SUPERINTENDENT WITHOUT BECAUSE
UNDER EXISTING CALIFORNIA LAW
SCHOOL DISTRICT- REPORTS
REQUIRED TO PROVIDE SEVENTY TWO
HOURS. NOTICE PRIOR TO CONVENING
ANY REGULAR MEETINGS OF THE
BOARD BUT ONLY A TWENTY FOUR
HOUR NOTICE BEFORE CONVENING A
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD
WITH EVEN LESS TIME REQUIRED FOR
NOTICING AN EMERGENCY MEETING
PROVIDING SUCH SHORT NOTICE PART
OF SCHOOL DISTRICT GOVERNING
BOARD MEETING AT WHICH AN ACTION
MAY BE TAKEN TO TERMINATE SENIOR
LEADERSHIP WITHOUT BECAUSE-
REDUCES THE LIKELIHOOD OF FULL
PARTICIPATION IN SUCH MEETINGS
BY THE SCHOOL DISTRICT STAFF.
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES PARENTS
STUDENTS OR THE COMMUNITY AT
LARGE ALL OF WHOM ARE LIKELY TO
BE SEVERELY IMPACTED BY THE
OUTCOME OF SUCH AN ACTION
CURRENT LAW DOES NOT PRESCRIBE
THE ACTIONS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT
BE TAKEN AT SPECIAL OR MERCY
MEANS THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
GOVERNING BOARDS MORE OVER
IMPORTANT CHANGES IN SCHOOL
DISTRICT LEADERSHIP SHOULD ONLY
BE MADE AFTER FULL CONSIDERATION
AND DISCUSSION BY. ALL OF THE
AFFECTED PARTIES IN THE CURRENT
LACK OF REQUIRED ADVANCE NOTICE.
RUNS DIRECTLY COUNTER TO THAT
PRINCIPLE THE IMPLICATIONS OF
THE CURRENT ABSENCE OF A
REQUIREMENT FOR SUFFICIENT.
ADVANCE NOTICE WERE BROUGHT INTO
SHARP FOCUS. EARLIER THIS YEAR
WHEN THE NEWLY INSTALLED
GOVERNING BOARD OF THE ORANGE.
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT CALL THE
SPECIAL MEETING OF THE BOARD.
DURING THE DISTRICT'S WINTER
HOLIDAY BREAK WITH JUST. A
TWENTY FOUR HOUR NOTICE AT THAT
MEETING. THE GOVERNING BOARD
PROCEEDED TO TERMINATE THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT'S
SUPERINTENDENT. EXPLICITLY
WITHOUT BECAUSE- APPOINTING HER
INTERIM REPLACEMENT AT THE SAME
MEETING THAT IN REMARKS
SUPERINTEND RESIGNING HERE. FIVE
WEEKS LATER LEAVING THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT LEADERLESS- AND IN
DISARRAY IS FAIRLY SELF. EVIDENT
THE NEWLY ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBERS CAN ONLY NEEDS TIME TO
BECOME FULLY CONVERSANT IN THE
OFTEN COMPLEX. INNER WORKINGS OF
SCHOOL DISTRICT GOVERNMENTS AS
WELL AS THE VARIOUS AND
SOMETIMES UNIQUE ISSUES. FACING
A PARTICULAR DISTRICT. IN
CONSIDERATION OF THE FACT IT
SEEMS REASONABLE THAT SCHOOL
DISTRICT GOVERNING BOARDS.
SHOULD HAVE A COOLING OFF
RAMPING UP PERIOD BEFORE MAKING
DECISIONS AS PROFOUND. AS A
CHANGE IN DISTRICT LEADERSHIP
ABSENT BECAUSE WE'RE SOME OTHER
EXTRAORDINARY CIRCUMSTANCE.
ADOPTING THIS CHANGE WILL ALLOW
FOR APPROPRIATE NOTICING IN A
ROLE SPECIFICALLY SEVENTY TWO
HOURS. AS WELL AS FOR A RESULT A
FULL AND COMPREHENSIVE
DISCUSSION WHICH FULLY ENGAGES
ALL PROSPECTIVELY AFFECTED
STAKEHOLDERS. AS WELL AS THE
PUBLIC AT LARGE UNDER ITS
COMMONSENSE PROVISIONS AS BEFORE
NINETY FOUR WILL ENSURE GREATER
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
IN SCHOOL DISTRICT. GOVERNING
BOARD PROCEEDINGS WHILE
PROMOTING STABILITY AND
TRANSPARENCY IN SCHOOL DISTRICT
GOVERNMENT. ADDITIONALLY AS
BEFORE NINETY FOUR WOULD
PROHIBIT SCHOOL DISTRICT
GOVERNING BOARDS FROM
TERMINATING. A DISTRICTS YOUR
PRINTER. OBTAINED WITHOUT CAUSE
WITHIN THIRTY DAYS AFTER THE
GENERAL ELECTION THIS COOLING
OFF PERIOD AFTER ELECTION IS
IMPORTANT. AS I'VE MENTIONED
WILL OUR NEW BOARD MEMBERS TO
BECOME ACCLIMATED AND WELL
INFORMED THEREBY BETTER
EQUIPPING A GOVERNING BOARD TO
RESPONSIBLY DELIBERATE. AND ACT
UPON SIGNIFICANT PERSONAL
DECISIONS HERE WITH ME TODAY TO
TESTIFY AS DR ED FIGURED THAT
SAYS WHAT. FROM THE ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS AND CHRIS
ERICKSON I AM RESPECTFULLY.
ASKING FOR YOUR AYE VOTE TODAY.
GOOD MORNING I THINK YOU SEVEN
NEWMAN EDGAR SAUCE WITH ON
BEHALF OF THE SUFFICIENT A
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS- REPRESENTING
SEVENTEEN THOUSAND- MEMBERS
EDUCATORS AROUND THE STATE-
WE'RE PLEASED TO BE THE SPONSORS
OF THE BILL. AT THE END OF THE
DAY WE JUST THINK THIS IS
SENSIBLE AND SOUND POLICY- WE
BELIEVE THAT STABLE AND
CONSISTENT SCHOOL LEADERSHIP. IS
IMPORTANT KIDS IMPORTANT TO THE
COMMUNITY AND THAT'S JUST OUR
OPINION. THERE'S ACTUALLY
COUNTLESS LITERATURE AND
RESEARCH THAT SHOW THAT HAVING
CONSISTENT LEADERSHIP THE HAVING
STABLE LEADERSHIP. HAS A DIRECT
CORRELATION NOT ONLY ON STUDENT
OUTCOMES BUT ALSO ON THE
STABILITY OF A TRACK TEAM-
EDUCATORS IN THE WORK FORCE TO
THAT DISTRICT- THE SENATOR
LOOTED TO THE PROFILE K. THE
HIGH PROFILE CASE. IN ORANGE
WHERE- THEY DIDN'T GIVE THE
TWENTY FOUR HOURS NOTICE THAT
WITH JUST TWENTY FOUR HOUR
NOTICE OF REMOVING TO DISMISS.
THE CASE UNFORTUNATES ABOUT THE
ONLY CASE- WE'VE WE'VE BEEN
HEARING ABOUT THIS THROUGHOUT
THE STATE IN ORANGE THE OTHER
BIT OF THE DETAIL IS THE
SUPERINTENDENT WAS OUT OF THE
COUNTRY WITH IN NORWAY- TRYING
TO TEND TO HER AILING MOTHER.
HAD TO RUSH BACK UNSUCCESSFULLY
TRIED TO HELP HER GET BACK IN
PLACE TO BE THERE JUST TO BE
ABLE TO ENGAGE IN THAT
CONVERSATION I WAS NOT
SUCCESSFUL THAT'S THE HIGH
PROFILE CASE THEY GOT A LOT OF
MEDIA ATTENTION. BUT WE'VE BEEN
HEARING ABOUT A NUMBER OF THIS
CASE AND THROUGHOUT THE STATE
DIVERSITY A CASES IN AND SHASTA
IN RIVERSIDE. IN KERN COUNTY A
CASE THAT POPPED UP ACTUALLY
JUST RIGHT AFTER THE BILL WAS
INTRODUCED WITH IN PLASTER
COUNTY WHERE THE SUPERINTENDENT
WAS NOTIFIED ON THE SUNDAY OF
PRESIDENT'S DAY- WHEN THE BOARD
WAS TRYING TO TAKE ACTION TO
DISMISS HER. AGAIN NOT FOR
BECAUSE ON PRESIDENT'S DAY SO WE
THINK THAT THAT DOESN'T MEET THE
INTENT OF THE OF THE LAW OF
TRANSPARENCY AND FRANKLY GIVING
THE COMMUNITY A CHANCE TO HAVE
THEIR VOICE. SAID IN IT IN THESE
MATTERS- THAT. AT THE END OF THE
DAY WE JUST BELIEVE. THAT THIS
IS THIS IS THE BIGGER POLITICS
QUESTION THAT YOU HAVE TO
YOURSELF. IF WE IF FOR GOING TO
MAKE SURE THAT HAVE. AMPLE TIME
TO GIVE THE COMMUNITY A CHANCE
TO HAVE THEIR VOICE HEARD WHEN
SOMEBODY'S GOING TO GET HIRED
FOR THE POSITION. SHOULDN'T WE
PROVIDE THE SAME AMPLE NOTICE
AND TRANSPARENCY WHAT WE'RE
GOING TO EXIT SOMEBODY FROM THE
SYSTEM SO THAT THE IN THE DAY WE
THINK THIS IS A COMMON SENSE
SIMPLE BILL- THAT WILL GIVE THE
COMMUNITY. AND ALL THE
STAKEHOLDERS A CHANCE TO ENGAGE
IN THE CONVERSATION WHEN
SOMEBODY DOES HAVE TO MAKE A
CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP WE
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR
SUPPORT. GOOD MORNING MY NAME'S
CHRIS ERICKSON I'M A TRUSTEE IN
THE ORANGE UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT- AND AS YOU HEARD ON
JANUARY FIFTH THE NEW BOARD
MAJORITY COMING OFF THE HEELS OF
A VERY TIGHT ELECTION. VOTED TO
TERMINATE WITHOUT CAUSE AND
WITHOUT EXPLANATION DURING
WINTER BREAK. OUR
SUPERINTENDENT. THE INTERIM
REPLACEMENTS HAD ALREADY BEEN
CHOSEN THE NIGHT BEFORE WITHOUT
FULL BOARD- INPUT. THE SENATE
I'M EXPLAIN PURGE OF OUR TOP TWO
ADMINISTRATORS- EXECUTIVES HAS
DESTABILIZED OUR DISTRICT. AND
IT'S INSTILLED FEAR AND ANXIETY
AND OUR EMPLOYEES STUDENTS AND
PARENTS. THE DECISION WILL
RESULT IN A GENERAL FUND LOSS OF
APPROXIMATELY ONE MILLION
DOLLARS- THAT'S MONEY THAT
SHOULD BE SPENT ON OUR STUDENTS
IN THE CLASSROOM. IT'S RESULTED
IN EXTREME DISTRUST AMONGST THE
BOARD MEMBERS AND EXTREME
CONFLICT WITHIN THE COMMUNITY.
THERE ARE LAWSUITS FILED AGAINST
HER DISTRICTS THREATS OF
LAWSUITS- TO BE FILED AGAINST
OUR DISTRICT. MEETINGS ARE LONG
AND TOXIC A RECALL IS ON THE
HORIZON. WE'RE LOSING EMPLOYEES
AND QUALITY ADMINISTRATORS.
SUPERINTENDENT SEARCHES ON HOLD
FOR A VARIETY OF REASONS ALL OF
WHICH ARE RELATED TO THE
INSTABILITY. IN THE DISTRICT. I
WANTED YOU TO HEAR THE VOICES OF
OUR STUDENT. GOVERNMENT LEADERS
. YOU DON'T REMEMBER MADISON
SALOON BELIEVES THE BOARD'S
ACTIONS WERE AN ABUSE OF POWER
THAT HAS HURT FAMILIES AND
STAFF. AND STUDENTS. HE SAYS THE
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD BE
MOTIVATED BY STUDENT AND TEACHER
NEEDS NOT POLITICAL IDEOLOGY.
THE BOARD MAJORITY'S ABILITY TO
GO BEHIND OUR BACKS TO FIRE
SUPERINTENDENT ON SUCH SHORT
NOTICE WITH NO LOGICAL REASON IS
WHY CHANGE IS NECESSARY A
COOLING OFF PERIOD ALLOWS THE
BOARD MEMBERS AND SUPERINTENDENT
. YOU CONNECT TO COLLABORATE
BEFORE MAKING SUCH ASTRONOMICAL
CASE THAT CHANGES. HIGH SCHOOL
JUNIOR AND LEADER MARIA SEGOVIA
SAID THIS NEW PROCESS WOULD MAKE
IT HARDER TO FIRE SUPERINTENDENT
BASED PURELY ON IDEOLOGICAL
DIFFERENCES. IF THE MAJORITY
FEEL STRONGLY ABOUT FIRING A
SUPERINTENDENT THEY ARE FREE TO
DO SO BUT THEY WILL HAVE TO PUT
IN A LOT MORE EFFORT TO DO IT.
FINALLY STUDENT WORK MEMBER RUBY
HEWITT SAYS SINCE THE FIRING OF
SUPERINTENDENT HANSON- UST IS
BEEN IN THE STATE OF CHAOS. THIS
HAS COMPLETELY TAKEN THE FOCUS
OFF OF STUDENTS IT'S A WASTE OF
MONEY. WE'RE STUCK IN THE MIDDLE
OF A POLARIZED POLITICAL CLIMATE
AND STUDENTS ARE AFRAID TO
EXPRESS OUR CONCERNS BECAUSE OF
THE I'M SAFE AND WELCOMING
ENVIRONMENT IN THE BOARD ROOM.
THIS BILL COULD PREVENT THIS
FROM HAPPENING TO ANOTHER
DISTRICT BY ENCOURAGING THE
BOARD TO FIND COMMON GROUND.
WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT EARLY ON
. THE EXTENDED NOTICE PROMOTES
PUBLIC AWARENESS OF KEY
DECISIONS AND ENCOURAGES THE
BOARD TO WORK TOGETHER TO DEEPLY
CONSIDER ALL OUTCOMES BEFORE
MAKING A POTENTIALLY DATE
DESTABILIZING DECISION.
OBVIOUSLY A SCHOOL BOARDS- MOST
CONSEQUENTIAL CONSEQUENTIAL
DECISION IS CHOOSING A
SUPERINTENDENT IT SHOULD ALWAYS
BE DONE. THOUGHTFULLY AND WITH
FULL DELIBERATION- THIS BILL IS
NOT A CURE ALL BECAUSE THE- THE
THINGS THAT PLAY GUESTS ARE ARE
MUCH DEEPER. BUT IT'S A
COMMONSENSE POLICY- BILL THAT
WILL. ENSURE AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
MORE TRANSPARENT AND OPEN
PROCESS AND HOPEFULLY LESSEN THE
IMPACT. THAT ASIDE AND ONE SIDED
ONE DAY. DECISION CREATE THANK

ANY QUESTIONS COMMENTS SENATOR
CORTESE. THE TAKEN CARE OF
DISCLOSURE THE AUTHOR- FIRST OF
ALL- KNOWING YOU TO BE A
THOUGHTFUL. AUTHOR THINGS- I'M
SURE YOU'VE THOUGHT THROUGH SOME
OF THIS I UNDERSTAND- IN AND I
DON'T. TOLERATE WHAT'S BEEN. YOU
KNOW CONVEYED AS SERVE THE
NARRATIVE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN IN
ORANGE- OF OVERSEE. I WAS THERE
BUT I COULD TAKE IT AT FACE
VALUE FOR WHAT IT'S WORTH THAT.
THAT WAS NOT- TRANSPARENT IN
PERHAPS PERHAPS NOTED PROPERLY
DONE- IS THIS A FORMER LOCAL
OFFICIAL AND A FORMER SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBER IT AT ONE TIME- FOR
ABOUT EIGHT YEARS THE UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCE THAT POPS IN MY HEAD
IS IF YOU HAVE THE
SUPERINTENDENT OR ASSISTANT
SUPERINTENDENT THAT. ACTUALLY
DOES SOMETHING VERY EGREGIOUS-
AND- OF COURSE. I KNOW ONE
RESPONSE WOULD BE WELL JUST
TERMINATE HIM FOR COSTS BUT A
LOT OF THOSE CONTRACTS ARE SET
UP AT WILL ON PURPOSE SO THAT
FOR EXAMPLE IN A SITUATION OF
HOSTILE WORK ENVIRONMENT- YOU
KNOW SOMETHING WORSE SOME KIND
OF AN ABUSE OR SOMETHING. RATHER
THAN HAVING TO PROVE THAT UP IN
A COURT OF LAW YOU KNOW ONCE
YOU. ESTABLISH THE BECAUSE YOU
HAVE THE OPTION OF. MOVING
QUICKLY AND THEN ALSO MOVING
QUICKLY TO PROTECT PEOPLE
MEETING DO YOU REALLY WANT TO BE
OUT THERE FOR. A MONTH THIRTY
YOU KNOW THIRTY DAYS AFTER. THAT
THIS COOLING OFF PERIOD WITH
SOMEBODY WHO'S ACTUALLY-
PERCEIVED TO BE. HARMFUL SO
THAT'S MUCH DIFFERENT THAN THE
IDEOLOGICAL- SHENANIGANS THAT
WE'RE TRYING TO CUT OFF HERE IS
SO I'M I'M TRYING TO HAVE A BOTH
WAYS BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH
YOU THOUGHT ABOUT THE IN I'M
SUPPORTIVE OF THE BILL I WANT.
IN ANY EVENT FOR YOU TO. BE ABLE
TO KEEP GOING THROUGH IT IN
HEARING FROM PEOPLE ABOUT THINGS
LIKE THIS BUT I JUST WANT TO
KNOW NOTE. YOU THOUGHT THROUGH
THAT PART OF IT S. IS SENATOR
JAY I DO APPRECIATE APPRECIATE
THE QUESTION. IS WHETHER THE TWO
ELEMENTS. IN A AND IN THEIR
SEPARATE BUT BUT THEY DID TO
PART OF A BROADER GENERAL ATTEND
WHAT ONE IS. THE NOTICING
PROVISION- TWENTY FOUR HOURS
COOLEY IS NOT ENOUGH FOR ANY. OF
THE SITUATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
DESCRIBED HERE. IN A SITUATION
WHERE WE YOU KNOW THE WITHOUT
COLLEGE. THIS IS ABOUT THE
COOLING OFF PERIOD SPECIFIC TO
THAT THE CHANGE OF. LEADERSHIP
REALIZATION THE SCHOOL BOARD AND
I THINK IT'S FAIRLY WELL
ACCEPTED. A SCHOOL THIS USER
COMPLICATED ENTITIES- PEOPLE
COME FROM. ALL POLL MANNER
PLACES REGULATED. IT SO THAT
THAT COOLING OFF PERIOD IS
SIMILAR. TO WHAT YOU'D FIND A
CITY COUNCIL- STRETCHES RELATES
TO RECALLS OF SOME OTHER.
ACTIONS IN IT SO YOU KNOW
THERE'S A BALANCE. THAT WE NEED
TO PROBABLY ACHIEVE WHEN IT
COMES TO THE YOU KNOW THAT THE
EXTRA CIRCUMSTANCE I THINK THAT.
YOU'RE YOU'RE WORRIED ABOUT SO
IN A SITUATION WHERE IT WHERE
YOU HAD- BECAUSE- YOU KNOW I
THINK THAT YOU KNOW THE PRETTY
OBVIOUS WHAT SHOULD HAPPEN. WHAT
GETS NEGOTIATED AT THE END OF
THE DAY AS PART OF THE BILL THE
FINAL SEVEN FACTS POLITICALLY
DIFFERENT THING. THAT BUT THERE
SHOULD BE THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT
THESE PROVISIONS THAT THAT
SHOULD. NOT INTERFERE WITH A
DISTRICTS DISTRICT LEADERSHIP'S
ABILITY TO GET AT A TRULY
EGREGIOUS SITUATION- AND I'M I'M
GLAD TO CONTINUE WORKING ON THIS
IF THERE'S LANGUAGE JUST AS THE
SNOW STARTED ELIMINATES. ANY
AMBIGUITY CONFUSION THEY'RE
HAPPY TO DO IT- AND I GUESS I'LL
SAY THE REST OF MY CLOTHES.
THANK YOU YOUR RESPONSE IN AGAIN
I'M I'M SUPPORT OF THE BILL ON
THE PRESHEAF STEPPING INTO THIS.
KIND. OF THORNY ISSUE PRESSURED
THEM. YES THANK YOU. A THAT
SENATOR AT YOU KNOW- AND
CONVERSE A LOT OF BILLS THAT
I'VE A BEEN RELUCTANT FOR A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL. SOLUTION I AGREE
THAT THE ACTIONS IN ORANGE
COUNTY OR CARDS ARE DEEPLY
SUSPECT- BUT I'VE COME TO THE
CONCLUSION THIS IS A VERY
NARROWLY TAILORED- PROPOSAL-
THAT DIES IS LIMITED IN SCOPE-
AND ONLY IN UNUSUAL
CIRCUMSTANCES WOULD REALLY EVER
COME INTO PLAY AND- IT'S FOR
THAT REASON I'M AN OVERCOME MY
LOCAL CONTROL. PROCLIVITIES AND
BE HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL
TODAY. THE FIFTH. THAT IT IS.
SENATOR WELLS. FONG THANK MADAM
CHAIR- HAVE A QUESTION WHY DOES
NOT THE- BOARD. MEMBER
ASSOCIATION. THE HAVE NOT
WEIGHED IN ON THIS. WRECKED IT
WAS NOT IN THE ANALYSIS I EXPECT

HE'S GONNA COME AROUND HE'S HE'S
HIDING BEHIND A PILLAR NOW HE
CAME BACK AND THOUGHT.

THAT CENTER CORTESE HAD
MENTIONED- ONCE WE'VE COMPLETED
THAT PROCESS WE WILL TAKE A
POSITION AT THAT POINT. GREAT
THANK YOU. IT DIDN'T SEEM
JEALOUS SUPPORT OF INTO HIS.
WATER BERMAN SO- I MEAN
OBVIOUSLY EVERYDAY ALL THE TIME
SO HOW THE ORANGE BY THE WAY
WHAT'S GOING ON IN ORANGE COUNTY
BETWEEN THE SCHOOL BOARD AND
EXCITING AND HONEY TEN LGBT NEED
TO REIN IN YOUR COUNTY AND IT'S
WHERE IT'S ALL HAPPENING YEAH.
LET'S MEET EXCITING PLACE TO
LIVE I ANYWAY- OKAY SO THAT
WOULD THAT WAS ONE ALL RIGHT. SO
THEN SOME EMISSION PLASTER
CANION THEN WE HAD A MOM COME ON
TO SAY THAT'S NOT TRUE SO I
THINK WE SHOULD BE CAREFUL ABOUT
THROWING STUFF OUT I DON'T KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT PLASTER CAN
ANYBODY GIVE ME PAUSE WHEN
SOMEBODY SAYS SOMETHING A PAID
ADVOCATE. IN THAT A PERSON HAS
NO VESTED INTEREST OTHER THAN
THEIR CHILDREN SAY SOMETHING
ELSE I DIDN'T I DON'T LIKE THAT
SO- AND THEN FINALLY. ELECTIONS
HAVE CONSEQUENCES WIN WIN THE
OTHER SIDE WINS EVERYTHING'S
HUNKY DORY AND WIN MORE CONSERVE
FACTIONS NGUYEN- THEN YOU KNOW
IT'S IDEOLOGICAL IS NOT IS NOT
IDEAL IDEOLOGICAL. I IN YOUR
THOUGHTFUL LEGISLATOR AND I HAVE
NOT RUN THIS BY LOCAL SO I'M I'M
GONNA NOT SUPPORTED TODAY. AND
I'M JUST GONNA I'M GOOD I'M A
DIG A LITTLE DEEPER ON IT. I
UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT I'VE BEEN
I'VE BEEN A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
BORDER NO THAT'S NOT AS QUITE AS
INTENSE AS THE SCHOOL BOARD AND
THOSE THINGS GET HEATED I
BECAUSE I'VE BEEN IN THOSE-
MEETINGS AS A PARENT. SO I'M
SURE YOU'RE GOING TO GET TO THE
RIGHT RIGHT PLACE ON THIS BUT
I'M JUST I'M JUST I JUST CAN'T
GET THERE TODAY SO. THANK YOU
APPRECIATE THAT. WITHOUT ANY.
OKAY WE HAVE A- AND LET ME KNOW
IF YOU KNOW LET LET ME CLOSE HOW
CAN I DO WITH I HAVE A PLACE IN
CERTAIN PLACES. YEAH THIS IS A
VOTE AND SO. BURGLAR PURPOSES
AND- HE WE HAVE SEVERAL SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS HERE ON THIS BOARD
I HAVE SERVED. AND CORRECT ME IF
I'M WRONG BUT THE ELECTED BOARD
. CANS IN ACTUALLY GIVES
DIRECTION TO THE SUPERINTENDENT.
ON WHAT AND HOW TO IMPLEMENT SO.
THE ACT ACTUAL LEADERS ARE THE
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS THAT GET
ELECTED. BY THE COMMUNITY
MEMBERS WHICH STATE ARE
REPRESENTS WHETHER IT'S
DISTRICTS OR AT LARGE IT IS THE
PUBLIC WHO ELECT THE SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBERS BASED ON THE
VALUES AND PHILOSOPHIES AND
IDEOLOGIES. THAT IS THAT'S
REPRESENTATIVE GOVERNMENT THAT'S
WHAT WE ARE AS WELL. AND THE
SUPERINTENDENT ACTUALLY
IMPLEMENTS THE POLICIES AND
VISIONS AND OF COURSE IT IS THE
SUPERINTENDENT THAT COMES AND
GIVES GUIDANCE AND OPTIONS- TO
THE SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS WHO
ENACT WHAT THE POLICY IS. NOW MY
QUESTION IS- AND AN HOUR AND
I'LL SHARE MY PERSONAL
EXPERIENCE AS TO WHY I'M ASKING
THIS BUT- THE DEFINITION OF
CLAUSE. WHAT EXACTLY DO WE DO WE
LOOK AT WHEN WE ADD WHEAT YOU
YOU TALK ABOUT A SPECIFIED WITH
THE WITHOUT CAUSE IN BUT WITH
THE BECAUSE BE. THAT WOULD M. BE
ABLE TO MOVE ON THAT AND NUMBER
TWO M. MANY. AT MANY CONTRACTS
FOR EITHER SUPERINTENDENTS WAR-
ST CITY MANAGERS ARE AT
CONTRACTS THAT ARE DEFINED UNDER
AT WILL CITY MANAGER THE SAME
WAY IN IN CITIES THEY ENACT WHAT
THE- CITY COUNCIL WHICH WAS
ELECTED- TO MOVE FORWARD SO. THE
AT WILL AND THAT BECAUSE I WOULD
YOU MIND. GIVING A LITTLE BIT OF
DEFINITIONS OF THE PUBLIC HAS AN
UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT THAT
MEANS. SO YOUR CAUSES ARE FAIRLY
WELL ACCEPTED LEGAL- CONCEPT AS
IT RELATES TO HIRING AND
DISCIPLINE. AT THE IT'S SO I
THINK MRS REAGAN BY SPEAK TO IT
BUT BEFORE YOU DO IT WE'RE
SPECIFICALLY SPEAKING TO THE
OPPOSITE SCENARIO WHICH IS A
SITUATION WITHOUT BECAUSE- IT TO
YOUR POINT SUPERTONES PROBABLY
HAD WILL EMPLOYEE BUT BUT IT IT
IS IMPORTANT. IF THE THESE ARE
THE BASIS OF A TERMINATION HAS A
BIG IMPACT ON THE SETTLEMENT- AT
AGE OR DISPOSITION OF THAT. THE
EMPLOYMENT ACTION SO IF YOU
WOULD LIKE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT COST YEAH. BEFORE WE STILL
HAVE JUST SO IF THERE'S ANY JUST
THERE AND THE BOARD TODAY AND MR
CORTEZ THE CENTER CONTAINS THE
ACTUALLY BROUGHT THIS POINT UP
IF THERE'S A REASON FOR THE
BOARD TO TAKE ACTION THERE'S
NOTHING IN THIS BILL THAT
ACTUALLY WOULD PREVENT THEM. TO
DO THAT AND ALSO I WOULD POINT
OUT IF THERE'S EVEN AN
INVESTIGATION LET'S SAY
SOMETIMES BOARDS HAVE TO PUT
SOMEBODY ON THE EVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT THEY'RE NOT HAVING
INTERACTION WITH STUDENTS OR
EMPLOYERS OR EDUCATORS OR
WHATNOT IT'S STILL GIVE THEM ALL
THAT ABILITY. TO DO THAT AND
FRANKLY ALL WE'RE SAYING IS THAT
YOU CAN JUST DO IT WITHIN TWENTY
FOUR HOURS RIGHT THAT YOU WOULD
HAVE TO STILL. GO THROUGH YOUR
REGULARLY SCHEDULED MIDDLE IT
BECAUSE THE ONE PIECE TO LOCAL
CONTROL THIS SOMETHING WE'RE
VERY SENSITIVE TO. ANY
ORGANIZATION WE'VE ALWAYS BEEN
THE BIGGEST PROPONENT OF LOCAL
CONTROL LIKE THE SCHOOL BOARD.
M. WHAT WE THINK BY NOT HAVING
THIS IN PLACE. THEY ACTUALLY
PREVENTS THAT LOCAL CONTROL
BECAUSE WHAT WE'VE SEEN SOME OF
THESE CASES. IS THE COMMUNITY
HASN'T GOT A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN.
SO BECAUSE IT'S HAPPENING MEDIA
AT LEE JUST GIVING THE COMMUNITY
THEY WERE RUSHED HEY WE DIDN'T
EVEN KNOW THIS HAPPENED. SO
GIVING THEM A CHANCE TO HAVE A
VOICE IN THE PROCESS. HAS BEEN A
PIECE BUT JUST TO YOUR QUESTION
THAT OUT WILL- YES THE BOARD HAS
THE DISCRETION. TO GO AHEAD AND
TAKE ACTION ON THAT AND IF IT'S
WITH BECAUSE THEN THERE'S A
NUMBER OF A REASON FOR SOMEBODY
WOULD GET TERMINATED FOR CAUSE.
THE BOARD WOULD HAVE THAT THAT
DETERMINATION AS WELL ON WHY
THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD IN IN A
DISMISSAL SO NONE OF THIS. THIS
BILL WOULD IMPACT ANY OF THAT.
FOR ME LET ME JUST ADD TO THAT
RACE OR TYPICAL EMPLOYMENT.
CONTRACT YOU KNOW YOUR PARTIES
SENIOR LEADERSHIP THAT
TYPICALLY. YOU KNOW THAT THAT
THAT'LL BE CONTRACTUALLY- SORT
OF. A CLEAR IT THEY THEY WILL
THERE WILL BE. SITUATIONS THAT
ARE TO FIND WHERE IT IN THE
EVENT THAT YOU ARE. TERMINATED
WITH CAUSE YOU WOULD NOT GET A
SURGERY BENEFITS IF IT WERE.
WITHOUT BECAUSE YOU WOULD. RIGHT
ANSWER THAT PLACES THE ONUS ON
THE SUPERVISING AUTHORITY. TO
MAKE SURE ALL THEIR DUCKS ARE IN
A ROW IF AND WHEN THEY COME TO
THAT CONCLUSION- THAT IT'S TIME
TO PART COMPANY WITH THAT
PERSON. IN THE EXTRAORDINARY
CIRCUMSTANCE RIGHT WHERE THERE
IS BECAUSE- YOU KNOW AGAIN. THE
THAT'S FOR CLEAR HOW RESOLVED
OVER TO. SOME OF THAT SUBJECT IS
SO THAT'S- DO. ISSUE BUT WHAT
WE'RE TRYING TO DO HERE AND I
WANT TO BE REALLY CLEAR. TO
SENATE WILL EXPLAIN. NONE OF
THESE DISPUTES THE PREROGATIVE.
OF AN ELECTED BOARD. TO DO WHAT
BECAUSE THEY WERE HIRED OR
ELECTED TO DO. THAT WHAT WE'RE
ENDEAVORING TO DO HERE IS JUST
TO CREATE YOU KNOW SET A FAIRLY
CLEAR GUIDELINES. THAT ENSURE
PROCESS AND TRANSPARENCY- AND SO
ONCE YOU KNOW IF THOSE ARE IN
PLACE. BY ALL MEANS. BUT YEAH I
THINK THE ORANGE UNIFIED GOOD
EXAMPLE I'M- ALSO NOT FAMILIAR
WITH SO MANY OTHERS. IT YOU KNOW
NOBODY DOUBTS OR QUESTIONS THE
BOARD'S PREROGATIVE. TO MAKE A
CHANGE IN LEADERSHIP WHAT WE'RE
ENDEAVORING TO DO IS MAKE SURE
THAT IS A SMOOTHER MORE
TRANSPARENT PROCESS- AND I THINK
YOU HEARD VERY VIVIDLY FROM FROM
TRUSTEE ERICSSON'S. A SORT OF A
RECITATION OF SOME OF THE
COMMENTS FROM SOME STUDENTS.
REALLY DESTABILIZED- YOU KNOW IN
IN THE EVENT THAT THIS HAD TO
HAPPEN. BUT THAT'S OKAY THESE
THINGS HAPPEN. DOT MAYBE DIDN'T
HAVE TO MAYBE THERE'S JUST A
DIFFERENCE IN POLICY BY THE NEW
BOARD ALSO FAIR RIGHT ALSO. A DO
YOU KNOW IF YOU'RE CONSOLATIONS.
BUT PROCESS MATTERS ESPECIALLY
AS AS IT RELATES TO A COMPLEX.
SYSTEM THAT HAS YOU KNOW WHERE
THESE KINDS LEADERSHIP CHANGES
HAVE PROFOUND IMPACTS. AND
EVERYBODY PARTICIPATES
ESPECIALLY THE STUDENT. AND I A.
M. EVERYBODY HOW. A ON ON THIS
SO. I AM ACTUALLY VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF THE BILL WE HAD
SOMETHING SIMILAR HAPPEN WITHIN
OUR CITY. SAME SCENARIO SAME
SCENARIO BUT WITH INNER CITY
COUNCIL. AND MY QUESTION WAS
WHERE IS THE TRANSPARENCY IN
WHERE YOU KNOW WHERE. IS THE
DIALOGUE IN COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
AND BETTING AND THERE'S SO MUCH
TO GO THROUGH IT. SO AND THAT'S
WHY ACTUALLY I THOUGHT IT WAS
GOING TO FINANCE LISTENING TO
THE ARGUMENTS AND I THOUGHT WOW
YOU KNOW AND- THEN THE SIMILAR
HAPPENED. AND YOU KNOW REALLY
REALLY QUICK WITH INNER CITY
AND- I THOUGHT THIS IS
INTERESTING. WHATEVER THE CAUSE
BUT IT BUT I THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT WE DO
THERE'S A REASON WHY WE TRY TO
CREATE. APP PROCESSES THAT ARE
TRANSPARENT AND THAT ALLOWS FOR
PUBLIC INPUT. AND AN HONOR AND
HONOR THE BOARDS THAT WERE
ELECTED TO REPRESENT THE VALUES
OF THE PUBLIC. AND THAT ELECTED
THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY
HAVE A PROCESS TO GET TO KNOW
THE SUPERINTENDENT AND WHETHER
OR NOT THAT'S TO BRITAIN HAS THE
ABILITY TO. ENACT WHAT THE
SCHOOL BOARD WAS ELECTED TO DO
AND THE VISION THE DOLLARS THAT
THEY HAVE. AND IF THEY IF THEY
DO NOT IF THERE IS A
DISAGREEMENT ON THE ABILITY TO
IMPLEMENT THAT. THEN HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO SAY OKAY THEN
HAVE A BECAUSE IT'S YOU KNOW
THEY'RE NOT WILLING TO IMPLEMENT
THE VISION AND THE PREROGATIVE
THAT THE SCHOOL BOARD AND
THEREFORE. YOU KNOW SEVER TIES
BECAUSE ABOUT SO. AND WITH THAT
SAID I AM IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL. I THINK IT ALLOWS FOR
OPPORTUNITY. M. AND I HOPE THAT
WE DON'T MAKE THIS AN
IDEOLOGICAL THING BUT MORE OF A
TRANSPARENCY. AND EFFECTIVE WAY
OF MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE A
TEAM THAT IS COHESIVE AND-
EFFECTIVE FOR BOTH OUR STUDENTS.
AND OUR OUR COMMUNITIES AND OUR
TEACHERS ARE STOCKTON
ADMINISTRATION SO. WITH THAT
I'LL TAKE A MOTION TO WE HAVE A
MOTION. OF SENATOR GLAZERS. OKAY
SO IT MOVED BY SENATOR GLAZER-
AND IS AN ATTORNEY JIM WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE TONIGHT IN
APPRECIATE THAT THE
CONVERSATION. I ALSO WANTED ONE
THING IS TO DO SO. AB THE
AFTERMATH OF THIS IS NATALIE
INSTABILITY- BUT AS AS MISTER X.
AND MENTIONED YOU KNOW THE
POLITICS CONTINUE TO KIND OF.
ROYAL AND IT ACTUALLY PROBABLY
WOULD HAVE BEEN THE BEST
INTERESTS OF EVERYBODY INCLUDING
THE NEW BOARD. I HAD THERE BEEN
SOME GIRL GUARDRAILS IN PLACE
WHERE THEY WOULD PROBABLY COME
TO THE SAME CONCLUSION BUT DONE
IT- ANY MORE TRANSPARENT KIND OF
DELIBERATE FASHION. ALL RIGHT
THAT WAS THERE RIGHT- AND THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL IS ABOUT IS ABOUT
ENSURING. THAT DELIBERATION THAT
TRANSPARENCY SHOW THAT YOU KNOW
ELECTED PEOPLE CAN DO WHAT THEY
WERE ELECTED TO DO- SO WITH THAT
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR- THANK
YOU VERY MUCH- I DON'T THINK.
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL. FILE ITEM
ELEVEN SB FOUR NINETY FOUR

SB SIX SIX ONE SIMPLY EXTENDS TO

PLACE AT SCHOOLS THAT RECEIVE
MORE THAN TEN MILLION DOLLARS
AND MEDIA. RIGHTS ARE REVENUES
AT. ALL FOUR YEAR COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES. THIS BILL ALSO
REQUIRES STUDENT OUT. TO BE GAY.
FIND LITERACY EDUCATION AND I
THINK THIS IS VERY CRITICAL
SPECIALIZED OF. ME BEING THE
JOIN AUTHOR OF SB TWO OH SIX THE
FAIR PAY TO PLAY THAT ALLOWS.
STUDENT ATHLETES NOW TO MONETIZE
THEIR NAME IMAGE LIKENESS WORK
STUDENTS IN OUR MAKING HUNDREDS
OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS OF NOT A

WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY
HAVE. THE FINANCIAL CAPACITY TO-
PROTECT AND THOSE- THE REVENUE

WISELY. AND NOW THAT STUDENT
ATHLETES ARE A LEGACY TO BENEFIT
FINANCIALLY WITH THEIR NAME
IMAGE LIKENESS WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY HAVE THE SKILLS
THAT ARE CRITICAL WE SEEN EVEN
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES AFTER

MCGUIRE. SMALLWOOD CUEVAS. WILK
HI WILL KIND. THANK YOU. AND WE
WILL KEEP THIS- L. ROLL CALL
AFTER MEMBERS THINK USING YOUR
BRADFORD. WELCOME TO THE
FRONTIER. FOR PERSONAL. M. WELL
CONSIDER BURNS AND I'VE FOR
GOING TO START WITH. AS FIVE
NINE I AM OKAY PERFECT THANK YOU
THANK YOU- MADAM CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO
START BY ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS. IN ADDITION I WANT
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING DILIGENTLY WITH MY
STAFF. AND THE SPONSORS ON THIS
BILL. MEMBERS WERE IN THE MIDST
OF A MENTAL HEALTH BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH CRISIS I MEAN WE KNEW
BEFORE THE PANDEMIC- AND WE SEE
IT- IN OUR CHILDREN. IN OUR
COMMUNITIES ON OUR CAMPUSES
EVERY DAY I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU
BUT- I GET A LOT OF CALLS FROM
PARENTS- AND I'M ON A LOT OF
CAMPUSES AND- THEY TALK ABOUT.
THE MENTAL HEALTH STRUGGLES
CENTERS THAT'S HAPPENING IT'S
REAL- AND WE CAN'T. WE CAN'T
HIDE FROM IT ANYMORE WE CAN'T
NOT PUT IN PLACE. PROCEDURES
THAT WOULD- HELP OUR KIDS THRIVE
AND EXCEL. AND SO WITH THIS BILL
SIMPLY SAYS IS LET'S MAKE SURE
475% OF THE PEOPLE WHO WORK ON A
COT AND HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS. ARE
TRAINED TO UNDERSTAND THE
WARNING SIGNS OF SUICIDE TO SEE
BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CHALLENGES. IN
OUR CHILDREN NOT TO PROVIDE. THE
CARE BUT TO IDENTIFY IT AND
DIRECT THAT STUDENT. TO KNOW
WHAT THAT STUDENT IS GOING
THROUGH TO UNDERSTAND IT. AND TO
BE ABLE TO BE SENSITIVE TO IT.
NOT HIDE FROM IT. NOT TONIGHT
NOT WALK AWAY FROM IT. WHEN A
STUDENT HAS A CUT. YOU GIVE HIM
A MANDATE. YOU DON'T WALK AWAY
AND SAY YOU'RE BLEEDING DEAL
WITH IT. WE GIVE THEM A BANDAID
. IF THEY'RE HURTING INSIDE. YOU
SHOULD BE ABLE TO DIRECT THEM TO
THE PERSON WHO'S GOING TO HELP
THEM YOU DON'T WALK AWAY FROM
AND SO THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL
DOES IT RECOGNIZES THE CRISIS
THAT WE HAVE. AND TAKES A
PRUDENT STEP TO ADDRESS THAT
CRISIS- NO MORE NO LESS. WE'RE
NOT ASKING ANYBODY ON THE
CAMPUS. TO BE THE HEALTH CARE
PROVIDER BUT WE ARE ASKING THEM
. TO GIVE A BANDAID. SO WITH
THAT I WOULD RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AN AYE VOTE WHEN APPROPRIATE
AND I KNOW WE HAVE. THE UNDER
HARVEY WHO'S HERE TO TESTIFY.
AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE I GET
HER TITLE PROPER. SHE IS THE CEO
OF CALIFORNIA COUNTS OF-

LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR YOU
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY FOUR YEARS OF
ALL YEARS OF AGE AND THE THIRD
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG
YOUTH. AGED TEN TO FOURTEEN. AND
DURING THIS PANDEMIC THE TOLL
THAT ISOLATION HAS HAD ON YOUTH
IS MANIFESTING IN THE FORMS OF
POOR COPING SKILLS. INCLUDING
EATING DISORDERS AND SELF
HARMING BEHAVIORS. YOU KNOW THE
STORY YOU'RE IN THIS COMMITTEE
OUR COALITION STRONGLY BELIEVES
THAT WE NEED TO BETTER EQUIP
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF ON THE
FRONT LINES OF THIS CRISIS. BY
INCREASING ACCESS TO MENTAL
HEALTH TRAININGS FOR ALL ADULTS
WHO INTERACT WITH YOUTH ON'T IN
SCHOOL SETTINGS WE DON'T WANT
SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO BE MENTAL
HEALTH EXPERTS I'M A
PSYCHOLOGIST I DON'T EXPECT
THAT. BUT WE NEED THEM TO KNOW
WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND HOW TO DE
ESCALATE A STUDENT IN CRISIS.
AND HOW TO MAKE A REFERRAL TO
CARE. SCHOOLS ARE CAPPED PLACE
FOR STUDENTS I'VE ALL SAID THAT
I DID MY BEST WORK WHEN I WAS
ABLE TO COLLABORATE WITH OTHERS
WHO ARE WORKING WITH STUDENTS. I
SERVED SO SCHOOL COUNSELORS

I TRY TO MAKE IT SHORTER. LONG
AND SHORT- SHOOTING ON WHEN MY
HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES FACT THE
HIGH SCHOOL THAT MY KIDS WENT
TO. AND THE TEACHERS WERE
TALKING TO STUDENTS TO THE
JUNIOR HIGHS. IN IN A IN THE IN
THE AFTERMATH. AND ONE OF THOSE
STUDENTS EMAILED ME AND SAID SHE
WANTED TO COMMIT SUICIDE.
BECAUSE SHE WAS ACTUALLY FRIENDS
OR FRIENDS WITH THE SHOOTER- SO
IMMEDIATELY WHEN I GOT THAT
EMAIL IN. ON GOT ALL THE
SUPERINTENDENT AND WE GOT HER
THE HELP SHE NEEDED AND THAT THE
TEACHER CALLED ME AND THANK ME
SAID. SHE WAS NOT EVEN ON SHE
WAS NOT EVEN ON MY WATCH LIST IN
OTHER STUDENTS WERE BUT SHE

I WANT UP I WANT TO APOLOGIZE

HEARTBREAKING AND I HAVE NO IDEA
WHAT THAT TEACHER NOT

YOUNG WOMAN STRUGGLING. SO I. MY
HEART HE AS A FATHER TO MY HEART

IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT.
BECAUSE I WANT TO THANK YOU.
JUST FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THIS
ISSUE IN GENERAL AND ARE STILL
BE SUPPORTIVE OF THE BILL TODAY.
THANK THANK SEE YOU OF THE
SECRETARY. THANK YOU JUST
QUESTIONS FOR THE AUTHOR IS. IF
YOU BRING A BILL FORWARD AND-
YOUR WORK IN THIS AREA. AROUND
MENTAL HEALTH IN SCHOOLS AND IN
RISK IN SCHOOLS- WE'VE- THIS IS
A QUESTION IN TERMS OF. ANY
THOUGHT YOU'VE GIVEN TO IT-
GOING FORWARD WHICH IS SOME. THE
ISSUE OF MANDATING TRAINING.
WHICH ON THE ONE HAND IS CRUCIAL
I THINK AND- TRAIN IS CRUCIAL IN
IN THESE KIND OF SENSITIVE
AREAS- BUT IN TERMS OF THE
MYRIAD. I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW
MANY NUMBERS OF COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENTS THAT WE
HAVE OUT THERE- WITCHER
EXPECTATION IS IN TERMS OF- SORT
OF THE CASCADING EFFECT WITH
WITH THE NEED FOR IN SERVICE
TRAINING DAYS AND OBVIOUSLY THE
MEET AND CONFER NEGOTIATION AS
GO ON WITH THAT- IT WAS SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES LIKE. EIGHT AS A READ
THE BILL WITH MULTIPLE DIFFERENT
COLLECTIVE BARGAINING IT IT'S- A
NEW YEAR AND APPROPRIATIONS
EXPERT I'M JUST I'M TRYING TO
WRAP MY MIND AROUND HOW THAT.
HOW THAT PLAYS OUT IN TERMS OF
COST AND- YOU KNOW LOCAL CONTROL
DECISIONS. I THINK YOU YOU ASK A
GOOD QUESTION AND MY ANSWER IS.
I HAVE FOUND. THERE'S
COMMONSENSE AND THERE'S A COMMON
. MISSION AND I HAVE EVERY
CONFIDENCE IN. LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BEING ABLE TO.
IMPLEMENT RAINING. BUT THEY'RE
NOT GONNA DO IT IF IT'S NOT A
MANDATE- I THINK PEOPLE
RECOGNIZE THE PROBLEM. AND
FRANKLY I THINK MOST. TEACHERS
ADMINISTRATORS FOLKS WERE OUT
THERE EVERY DAY. TAKING CARE OF
OUR KIDS WANT THIS- AND I THINK
THE IMPLEMENTATION IS NOT GOING
TO BE. CHALLENGING ODOROUS I
THINK THERE'S A DESIRE TO DO
THIS. AND I HAVE EVERY FAITH AND
CONFIDENCE THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
IMPLEMENTED AND DONE ON THE
LOCAL LEVEL WITH LOCAL SUPPORT.
AND SO I APPRECIATE THE QUESTION
BUT I JUST I HAVE FAITH IN IN IN
THE U. MADDIE AND THE CARE IN
THE LOVE OF PPP BLANCO AND
EDUCATION. WITHOUT HAVING A LOT
OF KIDS. AND WITHOUT SHARING A
COMMON MISSION I THINK THE
COMMON MISSION IS GOING TO BE
THE OVERRIDING PRINCIPLE THAT
GOVERNS THE IMPLEMENTATION. OR
IT COULD BE THANK YOU I JUST
SAID AGAIN WANTED TO DO YOUR-
YOU KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT
TOPIC DIRECTLY FROM THE AUTHOR
SO I APPRECIATED THANK YOU

WELCOME. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
THE MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE-
SOLDERED TO BE- SPONSOR OF SB
SEVEN SIX FIVE IN WITH FAKE.
SENATOR PORTANTINO FOR HIS
LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE YOU'RE
GONNA HEAR FROM AN INCREDIBLE
PRINCIPLE IN JUST A FEW MOMENTS
AND SO I'LL KEEP THIS BRIEF BUT-
I THINK YOU ALL KNOW THAT THE
NEED FOR TEACHERS IS GREAT- AND
I KNOW THAT YOU ALL VALUE
EDUCATION. SO THAT I KNOW THAT
YOU WILL GET IT. THAT WE HAVE
MANY RETIRED TEACHERS WHO WANT
THE OPPORTUNITY. TO HELP- BUT
ARE LIMITED BY- PENALTIES THAT
THEY WOULD EXPERIENCE INTO THEIR
PENSION- MEANS THAT WE HAVE A
CHALLENGE BUT YET WE HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY IN THIS BILL. WILL
HELP TO MOVE US TO THE
OPPORTUNITY OF- ENSURING THAT
THOSE TEACHERS CAN RETURN
CERTAINLY IN THE SHORT TERM. AS
A WAY OF REMOVING THOSE
PENALTIES- BUT HELPING US TO
MAKE SURE THAT EVERY STUDENT HAS
A TEACHER A WELL QUALIFIED
TEACHER IN FRONT OF THEM- THE
BILL ALSO AS YOU KNOW. WOULD
EXPAND FUNDING IN THE RESIDENCY
PROGRAMS FOR TEACHER CANDIDATES
AND TEACHERS IN TRAINING. WE
HAVE SOME GREAT RESIDENCY
PROGRAMS IN THE STATE I WANT TO
THANK ALL OF YOU IN THE
LEGISLATURE- FOR PROVIDING
FUNDING FOR- THOSE STIPENDS FOR
THOSE GOVERNMENT FUNDED
STIPENDS. THE REALITY IS THAT WE
HAVE RESIDENCY CANDIDATES. WHO
HAVE TO SOMETIMES LEAVE THE
RESIDENCY PROGRAM BECAUSE THEY
HAVE TO WORK AN OUTSIDE JOB.
THEY HAVE FAMILIES AND THEY'RE
STUDYING AND SO- THIS BILL SAYS
LET US ALSO- PROVIDE MORE
FUNDING FOR THOSE RESIDENCY
STIPENDS AND OF COURSE. MAKE IT
EASIER FOR FUTURE- TEACHER
CANDIDATES TO GET FINANCIAL AID-
WE ARE HONORED TO WORK ON THESE
ISSUES. AND AVAILABLE TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS THAT RESPECTFULLY
ASK YOUR AYE VOTE ON. SB SEVEN
SIX FIVE THANK YOU. THANK YOU
MISS SHIP INTENDED AT NEXT
WEEK'S FIRST. THIRTY TWO
MINUTES. ALL WE ASK IS THAT YOU
TRY I WORKED REALLY HARD AND-
GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU FOR
HAVING ME HERE TODAY- WE HAVE A
TEACHER SHORTAGE. AND AS IF
THAT'S NOT ENOUGH WE ALSO HAVE A
SUBSTITUTION RICH. A LACK OF
QUALIFIED SUBSTITUTES. MY
MISSION AS A PRINCIPAL IS TO
DRIVE THE INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM
AND WHEN THERE'S AN ABSENCE OR
VACANCY TO MAKE SURE MY STUDENTS
HAVE INSTRUCTIONAL. CONTINUITY
AND TO ENSURE MY STUDENTS TRYING
TO SAVE. DURING MY TWENTY YEARS
IN SCHOOLS I HAVE NOT SEEN THE
LEVEL OF VACANCIES ARE ABSENCES
THAT I HAVE IN RECENT YEARS.
MORE THAN 25% OF MY POSITIONS
WERE VACANT THIS YEAR. I SAW TO
FILL THOSE VACANCIES WITH
RETIRED TEACHERS WHO ARE WILLING
TO WORK ONLY TO BE TOLD THEY
WERE STILL IN THE HUNDRED EIGHTY
DAY WAIT CREATED. OR THAT THEY
HAD REACHED THEIR EARNINGS CALF
AND WERE UNABLE TO STEP IN. SO
THAT MEANT INSTEAD OF HAVING AN
EXPERIENCED AND CREDENTIALED
EDUCATOR WITH THE KNOWLEDGE TO
CREATE A SAFE SPACE WHERE
STUDENTS CAN STILL EXPERIENCE
ACADEMIC SUCCESS. INSTEAD OF
HAVING AN EXPERIENCED EDUCATOR
WHO COULD TEACH TO THE STANDARDS
WITH OR WITHOUT A LESSON PLAN
THAT FOR THEM. CLASSES WERE
EITHER SPLIT UP. OR WHEN WE CAN
GET THEM THEY HAD SUBSTITUTE.
AND IN THE LATTER CASE THIS IS
WHAT SOME OF MY STUDENTS
EXPERIENCE. SUB WHO ARE ON THEIR
PHONES ALL DAY AND I APOLOGIZE
FOR HAVING LINE- STUDENTS WHO
HAD TO PLAY GAMES ALL DAY.
STUDENTS TO WATCH MOVIES ALL
DAY. AND THEN THERE WAS THE ONE
WHO MADE STUDENTS DO PUSH UPS IN
ORDER TO BE ABLE TO USE THE
RESTROOM. WHICH I BELIEVE IS A
FORMER FOR PROPONENTS- TO BE
FAIR THIS IS NOT ALWAYS THE CASE
BUT TRY AS WE MIGHT AS
PRINCIPLES WE CANNOT ALWAYS
SUPPORT THOSE THAT ARE BRAVE
ENOUGH TO STEP INTO CLASSROOMS A
SUBSTITUTE TEACHERS. SB SEVEN
SIXTY FIVE WILL GO A LONG WAY.
TO REMOVING THE BARRIERS TO
THOSE WHO WANT TO CONTINUE TO
SERVE OUR STUDENTS. AND THOSE
WHO WANT TO ENTER THE PROFESSION
THAT'S INSURING STUDENTS RECEIVE
QUALITY INSTRUCTION DESPITE A
HIGH NUMBER OF VACANCIES AND
ABSENCES. RETIRED TEACHERS HAVE
A WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE AND
EXPERIENCE PERHAPS CONSIDER THAT
ONE WAY TO STEM THE EXODUS OF
NEW TEACHERS. IS TO HAVE THEM
BENEFIT FROM THE MENTORSHIP OF
SEASONED EDUCATORS. RETIRED
TEACHERS NATURALLY SEEM TO
SUPPORT SCHOOLS THERE IN. BY
PROVIDING CONTINUITY OF
INSTRUCTION. AND EXAMPLES OF
GOOD INSTRUCTION. MENTORING NEW
TEACHERS MODELING EFFECTIVE
CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT. AND TO
CREATING SAFE SPACES SO STUDENTS
CAN ATTEND TO THEIR LEARNING.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY
DAY IN THE LIFE- TO MOVE AROUND-
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
QUESTIONS. I URGE YOU TO PASS SB
SEVEN SIXTY FIVE AND THEREBY
MAKE THE STUDENT EXPERIENCE THE
BEST IT CAN BE IN THESE
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES WE
FIND OURSELVES. THANK YOU THANK

MR BRAMBLE WELCOME. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS SETH
BROWN BUT HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION.
COMPLETELY AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR
OF THE ABOUT THE SEVERITY OF THE
SHORTAGE WE HAVE A SHORTAGE OF.
WORKERS WHO ARE CHOOSING PUBLIC
EDUCATION AS A CAREER AND THE
OUTCOME IS TOO MANY CLASSROOMS
WITHOUT A- TEACHER THAT IS A
SIGN- DID ONE EXPRESSED SOME
CONCERNS AROUND THE PROVISIONS
IN THE BILL TO. BRING BACK-
RETIREES- AND WANTED TO BE CLEAR
UP FRONT THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION IS NOT ASKING
MEMBERS OF THIS COMMITTEE TO.
STAY OFF OF THIS BILL OR TO
OPPOSE THIS BILL WE'VE BEEN
WORKING WITH THE- THE SPONSOR
THE SUPERINTENDENT AND WORKING
WELL. WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT ON
THIS PARTICULAR MEASURE WHAT WE
HEAR FROM OUR RETIRED EDUCATORS
WHO ARE RETIRED FROM FULL TIME
POSITION IS THAT THEY ARE IN
MANY CASES. WILLING AND ABLE TO
COME BACK AND HELP OUT IN THE
MIDST OF THE SHORTAGE- BUT THEY
WANT TO COME BACK LIKE A DAY OR
TWO YOU WANT TO COME BACK MAYBE
TO A 40% POSITION. AND I WANT TO
COME BACK FULL TIME. THEY THEY
FIND THAT THERE'S A TREMENDOUS
OBSTACLE IN THE HUNDRED EIGHTY
DAY WAITING PRETTY THE
SEPARATION OF SERVICE PERIOD.
AND SO I GET THAT THAT HUNDRED
EIGHTY DAYS SERVICE PERIOD IS IN
PART TO DO WITH IRS RULES TO THE
EXTENT POSSIBLE LET'S REMOVE
THAT BARRIER THE HUNDRED EIGHTY
DAY WAITING PERIOD. THAT
STOPPING FOLKS FROM GETTING BACK
AND ALSO OUR MEMBERS REALLY
WOULD LIKE TO KEEP THE PROVISION
AROUND THE ANNUAL EARNINGS CAP
ANNUAL EARNINGS CAP PROVIDE
SOME. PROTECTIONS SPECIFICALLY
AROUND- PROTECTIONS AGAINST THE
PERCEPTION OF DOUBLE DIPPING.
AGAIN ALL. PERHAPS HIGH PAID
ADMINISTRATORS WHO MIGHT FIND
WAYS TO WORK AROUND PROVISIONS
IN THE BILL. TO GET SUPER PAID-
AND SO I THINK IN GENERAL WE
WANT TO WORK WITH THIS. OF US.
PROTECTION IN THE BILL AGAINST
ABUSE AND I THINK- THAT'S FOR
ALLOWING A TO PROVIDE A MORE
NEW. THE POSITION. AND THANK YOU
DAY AND- PLEASE PROCEED. I THINK
I'M THE LAST WINNER JENNIFER BIG
WITH THE CALIFORNIA RETIRED
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION WE DON'T
HAVE A SUPPORT NOR OPPOSE
POSITION WERE HAVING A
CONVERSATION ABOUT A WATCH
POSITION- AND I'VE BEEN DIRECTED
TO WORK AND I'VE ALREADY REACHED
OUT TO THE SPONSOR WE- VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE WHAT IT'S TRYING TO
BE ACCOMPLISHED WE WANT TO
ENSURE THAT THERE CONTINUE TO
REMAIN GUARD RAILS. BECAUSE A
NUMBER OF THE ISSUES REVOLVING
PEPPER HAD SIGNIFICANT NEGATIVE
IMPACTS ON ACTIVE AND RETIRED
TEACHERS WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT THERE ARE NO UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES WE ALSO WANT TO
RECOGNIZE THE POTENTIAL FISCAL
IMPACT THIS HAS ON CAL STIRS
WHILE SMALL- COULD HAVE LONG
TERM CONSEQUENCES BECAUSE AS YOU
KNOW. IT'S THE LEGISLATURE THAT
CONTROLS THE STRINGS ON SETTING
CONTRIBUTION RATES IT TOOK OVER
A DECADE TO CREATE A FULL
FUNDING PLAN FOR CAL STIRS. ON
ANYTHING THAT COULD OPEN UP OR
CHANGE FULL FUNDING STATUS IS
SOMETHING OF PARAMOUNT
IMPORTANCE BECAUSE WE WANT TO
ENSURE THAT RETIREES HAVE THE
SECURE RETIREMENT THAT THEY'VE
BEEN PROMISED AND SO WE'RE HAPPY
TO WORK COLLABORATIVELY WITH THE
AUTHOR IN THE SPONSOR TO JUST
ENSURE THAT THOSE GUARDRAILS
STAY INTACT. THANK YOU THANK
YOU- NOW LET'S MOVE TO
OPPOSITION IS ANYONE HERE. WOULD
LIKE TO SPEAK IN OPPOSITION TO
THE MEASURE. AT C. NINE LET'S GO
TO THE TELECONFERENCE LINE MISS
MARIA IF YOU CAN PLEASE CREATE A
LINE ANYBODY WHO WANTS TO.
DESTROY EITHER IN SUPPORT OF OR
OPPOSITION TO. THIS MEASURE IT
AS ST SEVEN SIXTY FIVE. REPORTER
OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS ONE THEN
ZERO. THERE ARE NO ONE INTO IT.
WE'RE GONNA COME BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE AND ANY RISKY LIKE TO
. SPEAK TO THE MEASURE QUESTIONS
COMMENTS FOR SINGAPORE JIM.
SINGAPORE I ACTUALLY DO HAVE I
HAVE A COUPLE QUESTIONS FOR YOU
SIR- ONE IS A THERE'S SOME
CONCERN ABOUT YOU KNOW AN
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE FOR
POSSIBLY BEING FIFTY X.
CELEBRATING. A RETIREMENT FOR
TEACHERS WHICH YOU KNOW
OBVIOUSLY WE WOULD WORK AGAINST
THE BORDER GOAL CAN CAN YOU
SPEAK TO THAT. I DON'T. THINK
THAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN BUT I
DON'T KNOW IF. YOU WANT TO
ENSURE THAT. GO AHEAD BECAUSE
WE'RE GOING TO JUST YOU KNOW WE
WANT TO CREATE INCENTIVES THAT
CAUSES GOOD TEACHERS TO-
ACCELERATE THE RETIREMENT PLANS.
YES I THE LANGUAGE IS CURRENTLY
DRAFTING STUFF TO BE A
RETIREMENT AGE TO TAKE ADVANTAGE
OF THE- PROVISION GAME BUT JUST
BEING RETIREMENT AGE IS
DIFFERENT THAN MAKING THE
DECISION. TO RETIRE- TO SERVE.
BUT NOT MUCH YOU CAN DO BEYOND
THAT OKAY YOU KNOW AGAIN AND IN
THE AREA OF PERSPECTIVE
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES AT
ANOTHER ELEMENT- AIR TALK ABOUT
THE- EXCLUDING CAL GRANT WORRIES
FOR FINANCIALLY REQUIREMENTS- WE
WERE THERE IS NOT A VALID SB
THREE OH SEVEN THIS
INTERNATIONALLY BUT RECENTLY
THAT THAT. BUT I WOULD TAP INTO
THE MIDDLE CLASS SCHOLARSHIP
FUNDS. YOU KNOW IT I THINK THERE
ARE CONCERNS ABOUT THAT FUND
BEING. DILUTED IN WAYS THAT- YOU
KNOW AFFECT THE CONSTITUENCY FOR
WHICH IS INTENDED SERVE IF YOU
WOULDN'T MIND SPEAKING THAT'LL
VOTE I THINK. YOU'RE DO YOU WANT
TO. WELL I THINK IT'S TERRIBLY
JOHNSON- THAT SUPERINTENDENT
REGARD YOUR QUESTION I'VE
DISCUSSED WITH HIS REGARD THIS
REGARD THE CAL GRANT TELLS AN
EQUITABLE. ALLOCATION WOULD
THINK OF CREATIVE WAYS TO
ADDRESS A TEACHER SHORTAGE AND-
THE KIND OF. SOMEONE BRING SOME
ACCOUNTABILITY TO THAT MEASURE
IS HAVING THE MEMBERS WOULD
ACCEPT IT THANK YOU TO- IN AND
SENATE. BY HAVING REQUIREMENT IF
YOU COULD NOT BECOME A TV THAT
YOU WILL HAVE TO PAY BACK. YOUR
FUNDING- UNDERSTAND WE ARE
HAVING THIS TEACHERS WERE TRYING
TO COME UP WITH CREATIVE WAYS
TO. ONE ADDRESS A SHORT TERM
ISSUE OF BIG. BRING A RETIRED
TEACHER BUT ALSO TO. BUILDING UP
A PIPELINE AND REALLY YOU KNOW
REALLY GOING OUT TO THE WORK
FORCE. RESIDENTS TO TOUCH ON MY
LAST QUESTION WHICH WAS- IN JUST
GETTING SOME. ON THE PROVISION
TO EIGHT AWARE IF SOMEBODY-
ACCEPTS THE AWARD BUT DOES NOT
FOLLOW THROUGH WHAT WHAT WHAT
ARE WHAT ARE KIND OF YOUR
THOUGHTS- AND I DO UNDERSTAND
ACCEPT EARLY MEMBERS BUT
SPECIFICALLY- YOU KNOW SOME
CONCERNS THERE ABOUT HAVING.
ENOUGH CLARITY- THAT IT'S NOT
EITHER A DILUTE YOU KNOW EITHER
SYSTEM HOLES IN IT OR SOMETHING
YEAH WE DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO
GAME THE SYSTEM I MEAN THAT'S
THAT'S NOT OUR INTENT OUR INTENT
IS TO BRING. AN INCENTIVE FOR
TEACHERS TO COME BACK. TO TEACH.
AND IF THERE ARE FURTHER SERVE
SAFEGUARDS THAT THE- BUT IN THIS
CASE ADVERTISEMENT STUDENTS.
RATHER THE CAL GRANT A WARD IF
THEY DON'T GO INTO TEACHING THEN
THEY HAVE TO GIVE IT BACK OKAY
IT'S SUBJECT TO. TO REFUND AND
WHICH WOULD BE WHAT WOULD AS YOU
AS YOU SORT OF AN ISSUE WHAT
WHAT WHAT THE TERMS WHAT'S THE
TRIGGER THERE WHAT'S THE
ACCOUNT. I THINK FIRST IT'S
LETTING THAT STUDENTS KNOW THE
OBLIGATION THAT THEY'RE SIGNING
UP FOR A MEAN YOU DON'T WANT
ANYBODY TO BE. TO GO DOWN A ROAD
AND SAY I DIDN'T KNOW SO I THINK
IT'S BEING UP FRONT WITH THE
STUDENT AND THEN IT'S HAVING AN
ENFORCEMENT MECHANISM WHERE. THE
STATE WOULD GET THAT MONEY BACK-
YOU KNOW BUT I THINK IT'S THE
STUDENT NEEDS TO BE AWARE OF
THEIR OBLIGATIONS I IT'S TO THE
EXTENT THAT YOU BOUGHT IT YOU
KNOW YOU. SO I KNOW THE
PROCEDURE YOU'RE OPENING. RIGHT
AFTER YEARS OF WORKING TO
CLARIFY LANGUAGE. THAT THE

PLEASED TO BE A PRESENTING US
BEFORE THIRTY THREE TWO TODAY SB
FOUR THIRTY THREE PROVIDES
PARITY CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES OF
SCHOOLS BY GUARANTEEING THAT THE
DISCIPLINARY APPEALS ARE HEARD
BY AN UNBIASED THIRD PARTY
HEARING OFFICER. UNDER CURRENT
LAW TEACHERS ALREADY HAVE THIS
RIGHT. IF A K. TWELVE TEACHER
CHOOSES TO APPEAL BUT THIS A
DISCIPLINARY DECISION MADE BY
THEIR DISTRICT IT'S OVERSEEN BY
THE COMMISSION PROFESSIONAL
COMPETENCE. COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACULTY OR ALSO GUARANTEED A
THIRD PARTY ARBITRATOR PAID FOR
BY THE DISTRICT CLASSIFIED
EMPLOYEES HOWEVER NOT GUARANTEED
THE SAME RIGHT UNDER CURRENT LAW
IF BECAUSE FLOODING PLAGUED
APPEALS A DISCIPLINARY DECISION.
THEY'RE APPEALING TO THE SCHOOLS
GOVERNING BOARD THIS IS THE VERY
SAME BOARD INVOLVED IN THE
INITIAL DECISION TO DISAPPOINT
THEM IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE
SYSTEM IS NOT EQUITABLE IT
DENIES MANY EMPLOYEES A FAIR
HEARING WELL CLASSIFIED
EMPLOYEES REPRESENTED BY A UNION
CAN COLLECTIVELY BARGAIN FOR
THIRD PARTY HEARING OFFICER THE
VAST MAJORITY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE
TO DO SO. SB FOUR THIRTY THREE
PROVIDES CLASSIFIED EMPLOYEES
WITH THE SAME RIGHT. AS K.
TWELVE TEACHERS COMMUNITY
COLLEGE FACULTY AND MANY OTHER
PUBLIC EMPLOYEES OF COSTS FOR
EMPLOYEE UNIONS PREFERRED THE
CURRENT SYSTEM THIS BILL WOULD
STILL ALLOW THEM TO NEGOTIATE
FOR THIS IN COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING AGREEMENTS. BILLS CO
SPONSORED BY THE CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION
OTHERWISE KNOWN AS CSEA AND
ASKED ME IF SUPPORT BY THE
CALIFORNIA LABOR FEDERATION
CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF

FIFTY THOUSAND MEMBERS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE WE'RE PROUD
CO SPONSOR IS AND SB FOUR THIRTY
THREE. AT ITS CORE SB FOUR
THIRTY THREE IS THE PARITY FAIL
IT WILL PROVIDE CLASSIFIED
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES WITH THE SAME
DISCIPLINARY APPEAL RIGHT THAT
TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
FACULTY CURRENTLY HAVE.
CURRENTLY A CLASSIFIED SCHOOL
EMPLOYEE WHO IS SUSPENDED OR
TERMINATED AND ONCE EXERCISED
THEIR RIGHT TO AN APPEAL APPEAL
HEARING MUST HAVE THAT HEARING
CONDUCTED BY THE SCHOOL BOARD.
THIS DEPRIVES MANY CLASSIFIED
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES OF A FAIR
HEARING BECAUSE SCHOOL BOARDS
TYPICALLY VOTE TO TAKE INITIAL
DISCIPLINARY ACTION. IT IS
UNFAIR FOR THE SAME SCHOOL BOARD
THAT VOTED TO TERMINATE AN
EMPLOYEE TO ALSO. BE THE
APPELLATE- BRIEFLY I'D LIKE TO
SHARE A OF WHENEVER MA'AM WHO
COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY SO IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN ONE OF OUR
FORMER MEMBERS. WAS FIRED FROM
HER JOB AS AN ATTENDANCE CLERK
AFTER SHE BECAME CHAPTER
PRESIDENT AND RAISE CONCERNS
ABOUT A SURVEY AT A SCHOOL BOARD
MEETING. THE SCHOOL BOARD HIRED
AN ATTORNEY TO CONDUCT THE
APPEAL HEARING BUT HE NOT
SURPRISINGLY CITED WITH DISTRICT
MANAGEMENT. AFTER HER
TERMINATION CSEA FILED AN UNFAIR
PRACTICE CHARGE WITH PER AGAINST
HER FORMER EMPLOYER AND PER
FOUND THAT SHE HAD BEEN FIRED IN
RETALIATION FOR HER PROTECTION
ACTIVITIES. THE DISTRICT IS
CURRENTLY APPEALING. THE
DECISION AND THE WHOLE PROCESS
HAS TAKEN FIVE AND A HALF YEARS.
ALL OF THIS COULD HAVE BEEN
PREVENTED IF HE HAD BEEN ALLOWED
TO APPEAL HER HEARING THEY WERE
NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD. AND
LASTLY I'D JUST LIKE TO ADD THAT
THIS BILL WOULD STILL ALLOW
SCHOOL BOARDS TO BE INVOLVED IN
THE INITIAL DECISION TO
TERMINATE OR SUSPEND AN
EMPLOYEE. AND WE'RE JUST ASKING
THAT OUR MEMBERS BE GIVEN THE
SAME RIGHTS THAT TEACHERS AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGE BACK TEETH
CURRENTLY HAS- I'M WITH THAT I

THINK IT WAS FAIR- CHRIS ROOF-
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION-
CERTAINLY APPRECIATE AGAIN THAT
CHERITON OUR SIDE THE AUTHOR AND
OTHER STAFF TO MEET WITH US AS
WELL AS OUR SPONSORS. OUR LABOR
PARTNERS- AT THE END OF THE DAY
THIS TAKES AWAY SCHOOL BOARDS
OPEN AT THIRTY TWO BILLS AHEAD
OF PERSONAL DECISIONS. THAT
THEY'RE REQUIRED TO ADDRESS-
THERE ARE EXISTING DUE PROCESS-
PROCESS RATES THERE EXISTS THAT
THAT PROVIDE OPPORTUNITIES FOR
EMPLOYEES TO GO THROUGH-
INCLUDING THE SKELLY HEARING SO
THERE'S A STELLAR HEARING RIGHT
WHAT TO BE ABLE TO EVALUATE. THE
VERIFIABLE NATURE OF A
DESPAIRING ACTION AND IT GOES
THROUGH- THAT SCHOOL BOARD THAT
THEN CAN ALREADY DO A THIRD
PARTY HEARING OFFICER- THIS BILL
IF IT GOES FORWARD ACTUALLY
WOULD THEN. PUT IN PLACE GREATER
REQUIREMENTS ESPECIALLY- SMALLER
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN A MORE RURAL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS- TOUGH TO GO
AND FIND A THIRD PARTY
ARBITRATOR- IN MANY CASES THESE
RURAL AREAS WE HAVE. MAYBE ONE
TWO OR THREE ARBITRATORS- AND
THIS BILL ALSO CHANGES THE
STRUCTURE AND HOW THE DISTRICT
AND THE LABOR PARTNER WITH AND
CHOOSE THE ARBITRATOR. IN THIS
PARTICULAR REGARD THE LIST OF
THE REGARD RIGHT NOW DISTRICTS
AND THEY'RE PUT HER PARTNERS.
NEGOTIATE AND SHARE COSTS ON THE
ARBITRATOR RIGHT AND SO THIS
WOULD ACTUALLY PUT THAT FULL
COST NOW ON THE SHOULDERS OF THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT ARE

THING COMMISSION IF YOU FEEL
YEAH WELL WE GOTTA. GET YOU KNOW
BEHIND THE WHICH IT WILL HAVE A

EXACTLY. WELL THANK YOU MISS
CHAIR AND FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT- SB SEVEN ELEVEN
BLOCKCHAIN IS A DECENTRALIZED
DISTRIBUTED LEDGER THAT KEEPS
TRACK OF PEER TO PEER
TRANSACTIONS WITHOUT THE NEED
FOR A CENTRALIZED ENTITY. WHAT
BLOCKCHAINS ALLOW FOR CRYPTO
CURRENCIES TO FUNCTION THE
FUNCTIONALITY HAS APPLICATIONS
BEYOND CRYPTO CURRENCIES IN
COUNTRIES SUCH AS INDIA CANYON
KENYA AND EAST AFRICA BLOCKCHAIN
TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN USED IN
BANKING AND FINANCIAL SERVICES
SUPPLY CHAINS AGRICULTURE AND IN
MANAGING LAND OWNERSHIP RECORDS
. BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY
REPRESENTS A NEW SECTOR THAT
OFFERS AN INCREDIBLE
TECHNOLOGICAL AND FINANCIAL
PROMISE THAT IS ONLY NOW
BEGINNING TO BE FULLY EXPLORED
AND EMBRACED FURTHERMORE
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY CAN
SIGNIFICANTLY HELP HISTORICALLY
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES BY
CONNECTING THEM WITH HIGH PAYING
JOBS. ENTRY LEVEL JOBS IN THE
BLOCKCHAIN SECTOR PAY ON AVERAGE
A HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YEAR. HOWEVER DUE TO
THE LACK OF SKILLED TEACHING
TALENT- OFICIAL BLOCKCHAIN
COURSEWORK IT'S DIFFICULT FOR
INTERESTED INDIVIDUALS TO LEARN
THE SKILLS AND PURSUE A CAREER
IN THIS NASCENT SECTOR.
CURRENTLY STUDENTS ARE SELF
ORGANIZING IN UNOFFICIAL CLUBS
TO LEARN BLOCKCHAIN SKILLS WITH
THEIR PEERS NOT ONLY CAN THESE
BE CHAOTIC AND UNORGANIZED BUT
THEY LACK A STANDARDIZED HIGH
QUALITY CURRICULUM AND SOME OF
THEM ACTUALLY ARE. BEING CHARGED
IN ORDER TO LEARN THE TECHNOLOGY
AND DESPITE THE FACT THAT- THAT
IT THE PERSON GIVING THE
INSTRUCTION DOESN'T HAVE ANY-
TEACHING SKILLS OR- COURSE WORK
OR- AT ME IN A FRAMEWORK THAT
THEY'RE THEY'RE OPERATING FROM
IT IT'S- IT'S AN INFORMAL-
EDUCATION PROCESS. SB SEVEN
ELEVEN WOULD PROMOTE CUTTING
EDGE HIGH QUALITY AND HIGHLY
SOUGHT AFTER COURSES AND
CURRICULUM SPECIFICALLY THIS
BILL WOULD CREATE A WORK GROUP
THROUGH THE CHANCELLOR OF THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES TO
CREATE THE FRAMEWORK FOR A
BLOCKCHAIN ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE OR
A- CERTIFICATE. OF COMPLETION BY
PROVIDING EDUCATIONAL AND
ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITIES IN
HISTORICALLY DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES WE CAN DIVERSIFY THE
LOCAL ECONOMIES EXPAND THE TAX
BASE IMPROVE CONSTITUENT
SERVICES AND HELP COMMUNITIES OF
COLORS ADVANCE WITHIN THE TECH
CENTER. I WOULD LIKE TO THINK
THAT CHAIR IN THE COMMITTEE
STAFF FOR THEIR WORK AND
ENGAGEMENT NOVICE ON THIS ISSUE
ALTHOUGH I WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AT THIS
TIME I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK ON
THIS ISSUE IN ORDER TO ADDRESS
CONCERNS RAISED. SHOULD THE BILL
IN THE MOVE FOR. WITH ME TODAY
TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS MYRA
AND NONE THAT IS BEING YAGARA
AND COURTNEY BROWN CHAIR OF THE
TECHNOLOGY DEPARTMENT AT MERRITT
MERRITT COLLEGE. YOUR WITNESSES
. WELCOME THERE. ARE HERE YES
PLEASE HI I'M COURTNEY BROWN I
KNOW I AM COMPUTER SCIENCE
FACULTY WITH THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES. AND I LEAVE
THE PROGRAMS AT MERRITT COLLEGE
SEVERAL WHICH I WROTE IN
INTRODUCED AND MOVED THROUGH
LOCAL APPROVAL AT THE COLLEGE
DISTRICT APPROVAL. REGIONAL
APPROVAL WITH OF THE LABOR
MARKET REVIEW AND COMMUNITY SEE
SEE SEE OF CALIFORNIA MEDIC
CHESTER'S OFFICE APPROVAL. AND
WE ARE ACTUALLY CREATED A
BLOCKCHAIN COURSE THAT'S PART OF
OTHER PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT THIS
BILL WOULD BREACH WHICH BRING
FOCUS. TO BLOCKCHAIN IS
APPLICATIONS AND USES BRIDGING
THE TECHNOLOGY WITH THE
PROCESSES THEY MIGHT BE USED.
AND IN OUR COURSE WE COVER
EVERYTHING FROM CRYPTOGRAPHY TO
THE OF BLOCKCHAIN
DECENTRALIZATION. THE MECHANICS
OF THE CORN HOW TO STORE AND USE
IT MINING ANONYMITY. COMMUNITY
POLITICS REGULATION BLOCKED AS A
PLATFORM. AND DECENTRALIZED
INSTITUTIONS AND FUTURE PROJECTS
SO OUR COURSE IS GIVING THE
STUDENTS THE FUNDAMENTALS OF
BLOCKCHAIN AND THIS WOULD
PROMOTE THE USAGE AND COURSE
WORK THAT LEADS TO. SPECIFIC
CAREERS IN PROVIDING THE
BENEFITS OF BLOCKCHAIN TO MANY
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS. IN
AMERICA COLLEGE WE ARE A
MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTION
HISPANIC SERVICE INSTITUTION
WITH A- 35% HISPANIC AND 25%
AFRICAN AMERICAN AND WITH 60%
WOMEN 40% MATH THE PROGRAMS WITH
INTRODUCED LIKE THIS LIKE OUR
CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM WHICH IS
CURRENTLY THE ONLY STATE.
APPROVED CYBERSECURITY PROGRAM.
WE SEE STUDENTS. 9% OF THEM A
CAREER SINCE I WAS. FAMILIES
PERCENT YOU PLAY WAGE FOR THE
BAY AREA AND BECAUSE THESE ARE
MINORITIES. THIS IS REALLY
SPEAKING TO THE IMPACT CITED BY
THIS ANALYSIS THAT. THIS CAN
ADVANCED COLOR EQUITY IN THE
TECH SECTOR SO WE ARE IN FULL
SUPPORT OF THIS AND WE ARE WELL
POSITIONED TO SUPPORT THE
WORKING GROUP AS FACULTY. ARE MY
VIEW IS THE CREATION OF COURSES
AND PROGRAMS THAT SERVE THE
COMMUNITY AND SO THAT'S ONE OF
THE REASONS I'M EXCITED TO
SUPPORT THIS PARTICULAR BILL AND
PROVIDE THE EXPERTISE IN TERMS
OF COMMUNITY COLLEGE. CURRICULUM
DEVELOPMENT AND TEACHING THAT
WILL SUPPORT GOOD OUTCOMES. OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE WORKS WITH AN
ADVISORY BOARD WHICH MEETS UP
WITH INDUSTRY EXPERTS FROM
SILICON VALLEY TO DIRECTLY
ADDRESS HOW TO BEST IMPLEMENT
THE COURSES AND THEY ARE WILLING
AND OFTEN TEACH OUR COURSES
SERVICE YOUR COURSES. SO WE'RE
REALLY- AREN'T. HAPPY TO SEE
THIS APPROACH FROM BUT REALLY
THE FUNDAMENTAL LEVEL ONCE OF
COURSE ISN'T A COMMUNITY COLLEGE
IT CAN BE ACCESSED BY ANY
COLLEGE. IN CALIFORNIA THROUGH
WHAT'S CALLED THE CALIFORNIA
VIRTUAL CAMPUS SO THE INITIAL
IMPACT OF. THIS PROGRAM IS MUCH
GREATER THAN JUST SERVING THE
COMMUNITY IN WHICH COLLEGES
BASED BUT SERVING POLITICIANS.
OF CALIFORNIA- I COVERED MOST OF
THE POOR. ON THE DAY I YOU IN
MAY HAVE QUESTIONS FOR YOU BUT
THE PROJECT I GIVE ANOTHER
WITNESS SENATE. GOOD MORNING
HEARING MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
MY NAME IS MY HERNANDEZ AND I AM
EDUCATION COORDINATOR FOR THE
DIGITAL CURRENCY TRADERS
ALLIANCE. I AM ALSO A FORMER
EDUCATOR WITH OVER A DECADE OF
EXPERIENCE TEACHING AT NEARLY
EVERY LEVEL OF THE STATE'S
EDUCATION SYSTEM. A BLOCKCHAIN
ENTHUSIAST FORMER NATIONAL
SCIENCE FOUNDATION GRADUATE
RESEARCH FELLOWSHIP RECIPIENT
AND IMMIGRANTS. CALIFORNIA HAS A
REPUTATION FOR BEING A LEADER IN
TECHNOLOGY AND INNOVATION A SUCH
IT IS A NATURAL KIND OF THE TO
EMBRACE EMERGING TECHNOLOGY
TECHNOLOGICAL SECTORS SUCH AS
BLOCKCHAIN. BLOCKCHAIN IS
CONSIDERED A FOURTH INDUSTRIAL
REVOLUTION TECHNOLOGY ALONG WITH
THE FUTURE MANUFACTURING A. I.
AND ROBOTICS THE WIDE RANGING
THIS WIDE RANGING SECTOR HAS THE
POTENTIAL TO REVOLUTIONIZE
NUMEROUS EXISTING INDUSTRIES AS
WELL AS NEARLY EVERY LEVEL OF
GOVERNMENT. MAKING IT A CRITICAL
LONG TERM GROWTH SECTOR LUXURY
ALSO OFFERS UNIQUE OPPORTUNITIES
TO ADVANCE EQUITY. THIS IS WHY
S. B. SB SEVEN ONE ONE IS SO
IMPORTANT IT ENCOURAGES THE
STATE TO ACT NOW TO CREATE IT
FOR FRAMEWORK BASED ON THE NEEDS
AND FEEDBACK OF EDUCATORS. FOR
THE BLOCKCHAIN SECTOR AND STATE
INSTITUTIONS TO SERVE AS A
STARTING POINT FOR LOCAL
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS TO
BUILD OFF OF COMMODIFIED AND TO
TAILOR TO MEET LOCAL NEEDS
SAVING TAXPAYERS MONEY IN THE
LONG RUN. IT ALSO POSITIONS
CALIFORNIA TO REAP THE BENEFITS
OF THE SECTOR BLOCKCHAIN JOBS
ARE CAN BE EXTREMELY LUCRATIVE
WITH AVERAGE ENTRY LEVEL JOBS
PAYING IN EXCESS OF SIXTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR. THESE
KINDS OF JOBS HAVE THE POTENTIAL
TO TRANSFORM LOCAL ECONOMIES IN
HISTORICALLY DISADVANTAGED
COMMUNITIES BY ENABLING THEM TO
BUILD ON THEIR LOCAL TAX BASES
X. EXPAND ECONOMIC. OPPORTUNITY
AND EVEN IN PROOF THAT THE LIVE
OF LOCAL FOR WITH. THE PEOPLE BY
. ACTION TO THEY THIS CAN HELP
ADVANCE SOCIAL. AND EDUCATIONAL
EQUITY MORE OVER THERE IS AN
UNIMAGINABLE POWER IN A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE COURSE CATALOG
IT ALLOW STUDENTS TO
DISPROPORTIONATELY IMMIGRANT
NONTRADITIONAL STUDENTS THOSE
RETRAINING FOR JOBS AND HIGH
SCHOOL IN GROTON STUDENTS. TO
SEE THEMSELVES AS PROTAGONIST OF
GREAT STORIES I TO PROCEED A
PROCESS THROUGH THEY ONCE
MERGING THE SCIENTIFIC FIELD
THAT NUMBER COULD SYSTEM THING
CHAOS. MADE FAMOUS BY DR MALCOLM
FROM JURASSIC PARK IN PURSUING
THIS IN READING ABOUT THIS I TO
MEET IN REALITY- WHAT USED TO BE
SCIENCE FICTION FOR A PERSON OF
MY DEMOGRAPHIC FOR THOSE REASONS
I ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUPPORT SB

SENATE APPROPRIATIONS THANK YOU

BRAGGING ABOUT HAVING HAD LUNCH

AMBITION TO SB SEVEN ELEVEN
THANK YOU. FOR. AND NOBODY IS

ZERO YOUR SUPPORT OR OPPOSITION
TO SB SEVEN ELEVENTH. NOBODY IS
GOING TO A- MERIT THANK YOU
LET'S COME BACK TO THE HEARING
ROOM- IT'S JUST TO LET ME START
SAID CENTER COMING ARE YOU YOU
KNOW I'VE HAD A COUPLE.
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THE BROAD
KIND OF SUBJECT OF THE
BLOCKCHAIN AND BITCOIN- I'M
NINETY LEASE UP TO MISS AS YOU
ARE TO GET CONVEYED THAT. AND I
THINK MORE TO THE POINT HERE-
THE IT AND YOU KNOW I'VE TALKED
LIKE I AM LIKE YOU NOT A BIG FAN
OF STUDY BILLS GENERALLY. BUT
BUT BUT I THINK THERE IS MERIT
HERE ON ON ASSESSING. YOU KNOW
SORT OF A BUNCH OF THE
DIMENSIONS. OF THIS TECHNOLOGY
AND THE OPPORTUNITIES THAT IT
PRESENTS AND HOW IT MIGHT BE
INTEGRATED TO ACADEMIC
FRAMEWORK. YEAH AND SO WE SHOW
THE COMMITTEES PRESENTED YOU
WITH. A SOLUTION I'M THEN THE
TRIBES GATHER CITY BUILDINGS
IT'S ABOUT CONVENING. A GROUP
WITHIN THE CHANCES OFFICE THAT
THAT I WOULD I THINK GETS
TOWARD- CLOSE TO WHAT YOU'RE
SEEKING WHAT YOU'RE WHAT YOU'RE
SEEKING- MAYBE NOT IN THE FORM
THAT YOU INITIALLY ENVISIONED
BUT BUT THAT'S- I THINK THAT.
POSTAL IS VALID- ESPECIALLY TO
THE EXTENT THAT TRADITIONAL WE
OFFER. WE GRANT DIFFERENCE TOO-
COMMITTEE COLLEGE. TEACHERS THE
ACADEMIC SENATE IN AND DEVISING
CURRICULAR- INTERVIEW PROGRAMS.
SHOW ANY OTHER MEMBERS VERY
LARGE BY I'M NOT GOING TO
SUPPORT THIS TODAY MY HOPE IS
THAT YOU'LL CHIP THE AMENDMENTS-
AND THEN WE CAN MOVE FORWARD
WITH THE- THAT YOU KNOW THE
ALTERNATE PROPOSAL- HAVING SAID
THAT. LOOKING TO MY COLLEAGUES-
SANDERS ROAD PROVISIONS. THANK
YOU- MISTER CHAIR IN THANK YOU
FOR- WE- THIS ISSUE OF I. MY
CONCERN IS. THE AMENDMENTS THAT
FOCUSED ON. REALLY LOOKING FOR
WHERE THE JOBS ARE IN BRINGING
THE EMPLOYERS TO THE TO THE
TABLE- TO INVEST IN WORKFORCE
TRAINING IN IN IN THE WAY YOU
FRAME THIS THIS DEGREE IS REALLY
ABOUT FOLKS GETTING JOBS TO ME
IT SEEMS REALLY IMPORTANT THAT
THERE'S AN ANALYSIS OF THE
SECTOR- IN TERMS OF. THE FUTURE
OF THOSE JOBS WHERE THE DEMAND
IS FOR THOSE JOBS AND HOW DO WE
ENSURE THAT- WE ESPECIALLY IF
WE'RE LOOKING AT TECHNOLOGY AND
THE- EVER CHANGING TECHNOLOGY
AND SOME TECHNOLOGY HAS BEEN
DETERMINED YOU KNOW TO BE. A
USEFUL AND SOME HAS BEEN
DETERMINED TO BE HARMFUL AND SO
WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT AS
WE'RE THINKING ABOUT WHAT ARE
THE- THE JOBS OF THE FUTURE WE
CERTAINLY WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
THERE IS. LEGITIMATE DEMANDS- OF
FOR THOSE JOBS SO I'M JUST
CURIOUS ABOUT HOW YOU'RE
THINKING- ABOUT THESE JOBS WHAT
. HOW WILL WE HAVE EVIDENCE TO
KNOW- IF THESE ARE LEGITIMATE
JOBS THAT ARE GOING TO EXPAND IN
THE FUTURE AND REALLY BE AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR FOLKS TO SUSTAIN
THEMSELVES AND THEIR FAMILIES-
IF WE'RE NOT TAKING THOSE
AMENDMENTS- I APPRECIATE THAT
THAT THAT THAT COMMENT I GUESS.
I GUESS FROM MY VIEW OF IT IS IF
YOU. PUT THE AMENDMENTS TOGETHER
WITH THE BILL. IN OTHER WORDS
GET THAT DATA AND INFORMATION.
AND AND START WORKING HAVE THAT
SAME GROUP OR A SIMILAR GROUP I
WOULD ASSUME IT BE THE SAME ONE
WORK ON WHAT WOULD IT TAKE TO
COME UP WITH THE CORRECT
CURRICULUM. WHAT I'M CONCERNED
ABOUT IS THIS IS THIS IS A
COURSE AND I I'M I JUST HAVE TO
SAY THAT- INNOVATION MOVES
REALLY QUICKLY. AND- THE
GOVERNOR PUT OUT A GRANT PROGRAM
WHERE HE CEDED SOME IMMIGRANTS
THURMOND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS
AND- A COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND CAL
STATE IN IN MY OWN DISTRICT- PUT
TOGETHER A COMPUTER SCIENCE AND
IN THREE YEARS PROGRAM. THAT IT
MAJORITY WERE WOMEN MAJORITY
WERE LATINO THEY WERE PEOPLE OF
COLOR IS WHAT IT AMOUNTS TO. AND
THAT PROGRAM WITHIN BY THE
SECOND YEAR OR THE YEAR AFTER
AND A HALF. THOSE STUDENTS MOST
OF WHOM ARE FROM FARMWORKER
FAMILIES WERE WORKING IN THE
TECH INDUSTRY AS INTERNS BECAUSE
THEY HAD THE SKILLS TO BE ABLE
TO WALK IN AND KNOW WHAT WAS
HAPPENING AND HOW TO BE HOW IT
HOW TO BE CONTRIBUTORS WHEN THEY
GRADUATED THEY GRADUATED IN THE
THREE FIGURE SALARIES- AS
OPPOSED TO. BRINGING IN PEOPLE
FROM OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTRY WHO
HAD BEEN TRAINED AND WE'RE
ENGINEERS- THAT THAT WAS AN
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT PROGRAM BUT
YOU HAD TO HAVE THE RESOURCES IN
ORDER TO DO IT BECAUSE IT WAS
YEAR ROUND FOR THREE YEARS.
THERE IS NO TIME FOR PART TIME-
EDUCATION AND IN IN MANY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES PART TIME EDUCATION
IS REALLY NECESSARY AT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES SO IN
SPEAKING WITH- INDIVIDUALS THAT
THAT KNOW THIS AREA- AND THAT
ARE TEACHING. THE CLASS NOW AS
WE SPEAK AND THAT HAVE SEEN
PROGRESS IN THEIR STUDENTS AND
THE ABILITY TO GET A JOB. TELLS
ME THERE'S A MARKET NOW YOUR
YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN HOW BIG
IS IT AND WHERE IS IT GOING TO
GO IN THE FUTURE- AND- WHAT I
DON'T WANT TO DO IS WAIT AROUND
FOR THREE YEARS FOR A REPORT.
THAT IT'LL TAKE. YOU KNOW
THEY'LL GET THE ORDER IN JANUARY
SO MEAN WE PASS IT AND IT'LL
TAKE HIM A GOOD YEAR YEAR AND A
HALF TWO YEARS. MAYBE THREE
YEARS- TAKE TO PUT THAT REPORT
TOGETHER- AND IN THE MEANTIME
NOTHING'S MOVING FORWARD AND SO
THAT'S THE REASON THAT I WAS
INTERESTED IN DOING SOMETHING
THAT WAS A LITTLE BIT MORE
PROACTIVE RATHER THAN JUST
SENDING IT TO THE- AND SO IS A
LET ME WE ANSWERED SHOULD MY
SOONEST IS- THERE'S NOTHING THAT
WOULD PRECLUDE. SCHOOLS LIKE MR
BROWN'S FROM CONTINUING TO
DEVELOP. COURSES IN OFFERING
ELLIE COURSES BUT TO GREECE IN
THIS FIELD BUT WHAT WHAT I
UNDERSTAND YOU'RE SEEKING IS A
SYSTEM WIDE IMPLEMENTATION YES.
AND I THINK. PERSONALLY I THINK
I SENT TO- SMALL CREVICES POINT
IS. A VERY GOOD ONE AS IT
RELATES TO THE SYSTEM LIKE IS
THERE IS THERE A AN OPPORTUNITY
THAT'S LARGE ENOUGH- IS THE
INDUSTRY GROWING FAST ENOUGH
THAT THIS JUSTIFIES THE SYSTEM
SYSTEM WIDE. IMPLEMENTATION IT
BECAUSE THE ALTERNATIVES I THINK
WHAT WE'VE HEARD ISSUES YOUR
SCHOOLS LIKE MISTER BROWN'S-
THEY'LL BE OFFERING THE COURSE
THAT THE HEAD OF THAT I THINK
WILL LINE. A MANY CASES WITH THE
OPPORTUNITIES. BUT WE REALLY
DON'T. KNOW ABOUT HOW BIG. ARE
YOU YOU KNOW ALL OF APPLE. OF
BLOCKCHAIN TECHNOLOGY RIGHTS
RIGHT SO I THINK THE REFERENCE.
EARLIER WAS YOU KNOW A. I.
ROBOTICS BLOCKCHAIN MAYBE
SOMETHING ELSE. IF YOU WERE TO
STACK THOSE THINGS- I THINK WE
CAN FAIRLY SAFELY SAY I HUGE.
ROBOTICS CLEARLY VERY LARGE THE
BLOCKCHAIN. THAT YOU KNOW
PERSPECTIVE WE DON'T KNOW- AND
I'M ENCOURAGED AT THEIR SCHOOLS
LIKE MR BROWN'S DOING THIS. BUT
IT BUT I'M I'M VERY RETICENT TO.
YOU KNOW GIVE THAT INSTRUCTION
BE LEGISLATION TO THE COMMITTEE
COLLEGES. PER THE CENTERS POINT.
RIGHT NOT KNOWING HOW ARE THE
OPPORTUNITY IS A AND AGAIN I
DON'T THINK THESE THESE TWO
THINGS CLEARLY ARE NOT MUTUALLY
EXCLUSIVE- ANSWER AGAIN THAT'S
THAT'S THE BASIS I THINK. FOR
THE SUGGESTION OF THE WORKING
GROUP- AND MY HOPE IS THAT YOU
ACCEPT THAT. SO- CAN. CAN I
ACCEPT. THE AMENDMENT WITH A
DIFFERENT DATE. WITH THEIR TIME
AT TWENTY TWENTY SIX. YOU KNOW-
IT JUST SEEMS TO ME THAT- THAT'S
A FAIR QUESTION. LET US FOR.
THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE
COULD CONCERN. I AM TOLD THAT
WE'RE SIMPLY REFLECTING CENTER
COVER YOUR YOUR YOUR ORIGINAL
DATE. AB FOR THE WORKING GROUP I
THINK WE CAN TAKE WE COULD MOVE
THAT UP WELL IT WAS BECAUSE WHAT
WE WANTED THEM TO DO IT IS TO
HAVE THE DETAILS AND REALLY.
MEAN THE RIVER THE RIVER THAT'S
THAT'S RIGHT SO IT IS SUPER
NEGOTIATOR WOULD WHAT IF WE MADE
THE DATE JULY FIRST TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE. YEAH IT'S A LONG
WAY AWAY BUT WHAT YOU. NEED I
I'M I'M PRETTY EXHAUSTED HERE
I'M TRYING TO FIND YEAH WELL I'M
JUST TRYING TO TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT SOMETHING THAT CONVEYS A
SENSE OF URGENCY TO THEM-
BASICALLY THEY DON'T YOU KNOW-
THE WAY THAT THE COLLEGE SYSTEM
WORKS IS THEY WANT TO HAVE THE
IDEA THEMSELVES THEY DON'T. HAVE
HOW ABOUT HOW ABOUT WE DO THIS
YES THAT LET LET'S GO FIGURE
WHAT IT WHAT IS A REALISTIC BUT
AGGRESSIVE IMPLEMENTATION DATE
FOR THE CONCERT WE DESCRIBE
