COULD- MISTER CHAIR- STAFF
MEMBERS OF THE CA- I'VE JUST
WANT SAY HELLO TO IT IS TO BE
HERE TO THIS MY FIRST BILL IN
FRONT OF THE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE. AND AS AN EDUCATOR
AND A PARENT TO HAVE SEX TWENTY
FOUR CHILDREN AND A GRANDCHILD-
I CAN'T THINK OF A BETTER SPACE
I'D LIKE TO START MY MORNING- I
TRULY BELIEVE THAT EVERYONE IN
THIS ROOM IS HERE FOR THE LOVE
OF KIDS. FOR THE BELIEF THAT
EDUCATION IS THAT EQUALIZER THAT
ALLOWS US TO BREAK CYCLES. OF
POVERTY AND BREAK SITE CYCLES
OF- LACK OF EDUCATION AND LIFT
OUR COMMUNITY UP SO I JUST WANNA
THINK EVERY SINGLE PERSON THAT'S
HERE TODAY BECAUSE WE ARE ALL
HERE FOR THE PROTECTION AND THE
LIFE OF OUR CHILDREN. SO WITH
THAT I'D LIKE TO OPEN UP SENATE
BILL SEVEN THIRTY NINE THIS IS A
CHARTER SCHOOL AT RENEWAL BILL-
I'M ASKING- COMMITTEE AT TO SEE
THE RECOMMENDATIONS AND KNOW
THAT I HAVE ALSO REVIEWED THEM.
BUT I WOULD LIKE AN OPPORTUNITY
TO HEAR FROM OUR WITNESSES AND
HAVE THEM SHARE THEIR
PERSPECTIVES ON THE. BILL AS IT
IS CURRENTLY DRAFTED. SHARE A
FEW AGREE I HOPE. A POLICE
PURSUIT I AM BUT DID BE CLEAR
YOU ACCEPT ANY THE MANAGED. I'M
I'D LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF
DISCUSSION. OR WE MAKE THAT
CONCLUSION OKAY- I DO KNOW THAT
THIS COMMITTEE HAS WORKED VERY
HARD- FROM THE ORIGINAL DRAFT OF
THE BILL TO NOW- AND I DO
BELIEVE THAT IN THE SPIRIT OF
COMPROMISE. AND RESILIENCE- I
THINK IT'S ONLY APPROPRIATE TO
ENSURE THAT ALL VOICES ARE HEARD
TODAY M. AS WE MOVE FORWARD ON
THIS VERY IMPORTANT PIECE OF
LEGISLATION I WOULD AGREE THAT
RESTRICTS A PLATE LET'S LET'S DO
THAT ALL RIGHT. THANK YOU SO
MUCH. THE SENATE BILL SEVEN
THIRTY NINE WOULD EXTEND THE
CURRENT TERMS OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
BY TWO YEARS. TO ACCOMMODATE THE
GAP IN STUDENT DATA BECAUSE BY
THE PANDEMIC. UNDER THIS BILL
CHARTER SCHOOLS WOULD REMAIN
ACCOUNTABLE THROUGH ONGOING
AUTHORIZER OVERSIGHT AND
PARTICIPATION IN THE STATE'S.
BROADER ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
IS FROM THE TWENTY ONE CAL SAYS
OF. PERFORMANCE AND PROGRESS OR
THE CASSPI. CONFIRMS THAT THE
PANDEMIC HAS A PROFOUND IMPACT
ON STUDENT LEARNING. STUDENTS
NOT ONLY LOST GROUND IN MATH AND
READING. BUT THEIR MENTAL
PHYSICAL AND EMOTIONAL WELL
BEING ALSO SUFFERED IMMENSELY.
AND THIS IS NOT JUST THE
STUDENTS THIS IS ALSO OUR
EDUCATORS. AND BEING THAT I WAS
IN THE CENTER OF THE PANDEMIC AS
AN EDUCATOR I SAW AND
EXPERIENCED FIRSTHAND. THE
IMPACT NOT ONLY ON OUR
CLASSROOMS EDUCATORS ABILITY TO
KEEP THE SPIRIT. OF THE
CLASSROOM INTACT TO ENSURE THAT
WE WERE MEETING. THE GOALS THAT
NOT ONLY BE SET OUT FOR
OURSELVES BUT THOSE THAT WE HOLD
OURSELVES ACCOUNTABLE FOR OUR
KIDS. WE SAW MANY OF OUR
FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES-
DESTABILIZE AND SOME OF THOSE
HOMES EVEN FALL APART. WE SAW A
WHOLE OTHER LEVEL OF TEACHING
AND HAVING TO- TO CONNECT TO
LEARNING WITH THE LOVE OF
LEARNING AND FOLLOW THROUGH AND
WHAT HOMEWORK WAS AND HOW TO
PRESENT HOMEWORK EVEN HOW TO
TEACH BE ZOOM. IN A ONE
DIMENSIONAL ENVIRONMENT. SO
CURRENT LAW CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
REQUIRED TO BE RENEWED
PERIODICALLY BASED ON SPECIFIC
METRICS BECAUSE OF SCHOOL
PERFORMANCE ON THE STATE
DASHBOARD. OVER TIME. THE STATE
DASHBOARD BEING A NEW TECHNOLOGY
PRE PANDEMIC. AS THE EDUCATION
SECTOR CONTINUES TO ADDRESS THE
CHALLENGES AND THE SETBACKS
CAUSED BY THE PANDEMIC.
POLICYMAKERS AND SCHOOL LEADERS
MUST FOCUS THE SPOTLIGHT ON
STUDENT IMPROVEMENT. THAT IS
WHAT THE SCHOOL CALIFORNIA
DASHBOARD WAS INTENDED TO DO.
AND IT WAS ALSO INTENDED TO LOOK
AT A CONSECUTIVE YEARS OF DATA.
NO ONE COULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT
WE WOULD HAVE BEEN SHUTTING DOWN
SCHOOLS FOR EIGHTEEN MONTHS OR
MORE IN THE PUBLIC SCHOOL SECTOR
. WHO WOULD HAVE PREDICTED THAT.
SO HAVING A TOOL AS NEW AS THE
CALIFORNIA STATE DASHBOARD BUT
IN THE PANDEMIC A WORLDWIDE
PANDEMIC THAT REALLY CHANGED THE
WAY. THAT WE DELIVERED EDUCATION
PUBLIC EDUCATION HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. TRANSPARENCY AND
ACCOUNTABILITY PART OF THE
INTENT OF THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
DASHBOARD. FOR ALL PUBLIC SCHOOL
STUDENTS REQUIRES A FAIR
COMPLETE AND COMPATIBLE DATA
OVER TIME AN INDEX TO INDIVIDUAL
STUDENT PROGRESS WITH THE FOCUS
ON CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT. I
DON'T THINK ANYONE HERE WOULD
DISPUTE THE FACT THAT THE IMPACT
OF SCHOOL CLOSURES AND THE
PANDEMIC. HAVEN'T IN DESPAIR IT
IMPACT ON OUR BLACK AND BROWN
STUDENTS CHILDREN WITH
DISABILITIES AND THOSE THAT WERE
ALREADY STRUGGLING TO KEEP UP
WITH THEIR PEERS IN READING AND
MATH. WE KNOW THAT THE DAY TO
GET GAPS AND TESTING SUSPENSIONS
HAS CAUSED BY THE PANDEMIC
UPENDED OUR SYSTEM. ESPECIALLY
FOR HIGH STAKES ACCOUNTABILITY
SUCH AS CHARTER SCHOOLS RENEWALS
. DID YOU KNOW THAT CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE THE ONLY PUBLIC
SCHOOLS THAT CAN BE VOTED FOR
CLOSURE. YEAH THAT'S A FACT. THE
DATA NECESSARY TO IMPLEMENT THE
STATUTORY FRAMEWORK FOR CHARTER
SCHOOL RENEWAL DECISIONS SIMPLY.
DON'T EXIST AND THAT'S WHY WE'VE
BEEN WORKING SO HARD IS
POLICYMAKERS EDUCATORS. AS
FAMILIES PARENTS IN THE
COMMUNITY TO CREATE A PUBLIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM THAT NOT ONLY
WORKS FOR ALL BUT THAT LIFTS UP
. OUR MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS
AND POPULATIONS. TO SUPPORT
NEARLY SEVEN HUNDRED THOUSAND
STUDENTS THAT ATTEND CHARTER
PUBLIC SCHOOLS. MANY OF WHOM ARE
LOW INCOME. IT IS VITAL THAT THE
STATE SHOULD ONLY RESUME CHARTER
RENEWALS BASED ONLY ON THE
ASSESSMENT OF POST PANDEMIC DATA
. AN IMPROVEMENT OF THAT
COMPARATIVE DATA INVALID
DASHBOARD INDICATORS OVER THE
TIME WHICH THE DASHBOARD WAS
INTENDED TO ASSESS AND EVALUATE
. ABSENT RELIABLE DATA
BENCHMARKS AND COMPATIBILITY THE
RENEWAL PROCESS WILL BE FRAUGHT
WITH UNCERTAINTY FOR STUDENTS
FOR FAMILIES AND FOR TEACHERS
WHO WORK EVERY SINGLE DAY IN OUR
CLASSROOMS TO HELP OUR KIDS
SUCCEED. THIS BILL WOULD RETAIN
EXISTING CHARTER OVERSIGHT
INTERVENTION WITHIN THE STATE'S
OVERALL ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM.
LET ME BE VERY CLEAR THIS BILL
DOES NOT CHANGE. THE PASSION AND
DEDICATION AND ENERGY AND TIME
AND COMMITMENT AND INVESTMENT.
THAT WE MADE IN AB FIFTEEN OH
FIVE TO ENSURE THAT WE CAN REACH
THIS LEVEL OF UNDERSTANDING
BETWEEN OUR OPPOSITION. AND OUR
SUPPORTERS IT DOES NOT TAKE AWAY
AT WORK. CHARTER SCHOOLS WOULD
REMAIN ACCOUNTABLE DURING THIS
TIME TO ONGOING REQUIRED ANNUAL
REPORTING TO THEIR AUSTER
AUTHORIZERS. INCLUDING ANNUAL
SITE VISITS. PARTICIPATION IN
THE STATE'S BROADER
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM OF
DIFFERENTIATE ASSISTANCE AND THE
MOST IT RIGOROUS SITUATIONS TO
THE REPLICATION PROCESS.
AUTHORIZERS AUTHORIZERS ARE THE
ONES AT THE LOCAL LEVEL WHO ARE
ELECTED. TO EVALUATE THE OPEN TO
SUPPORT. OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS
WHETHER IT'S A LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICT- A COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION. WE MADE CHANGES HERE
AT THE STATE LEVEL SO THAT THAT
HONOR THAT PRIVILEGE THAT
RESPONSIBILITY WAS NOW GIVEN TO
OUR LOCAL ELECTED AT THE LOCAL
LEVEL FOR LOCAL CONTROL. HERE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT. OF MY BILL
IS CRISTINA THE HAY SEUSS BOARD

LIKE A DISTANT MEMORY FOR SOME
THE COMMUNITIES WE SERVE ARE
STILL NAVIGATING A DEMOCRAT
LATEST TRAUMA. OUR STUDENTS AND
TEACHERS IN SCHOOL DESERVE TIME
TO RECOVER SOME ESTIMATED COULD
TAKE MORE THAN A DECADE TO
RECOVER THE ACADEMIC LEARNING
LOST SINCE TWENTY TWENTY.
RESUMING CHARTER RENEWALS WITHIN
THE NEXT TWO YEARS WOULD BE
IMMORAL AND SIGNIFICANT
DESTRUCTION FROM OUR COLLECTIVE
FOCUS ON GETTING ALL STUDENTS
BACK ON TRACK. ACROSS THE STATE

REQUEST YOUR VOTE ON SB SEVEN

MISSED THE SHOW. THE IS JUST YOU
RISKY TO. GOOD MORNING MEMBERS
MY NAME IS DOUG CALLING FOR FROM
THE S. OF THIS TO TURN PUBLIC.
THIS OPERATES FOR SCHOOL AND HOW
SENATE AND ANGELES. OF WHICH 90%
STUDENTS ARE STILL OF COLOR AND
NINETY THREE PER. OF STUDENTS
QUALIFY FOR FREE OR DO LUNCH.
I'M HERE AND SO OF SB THIRTY
NINE ON BEHALF OF OVER THREE
HUNDRED CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT ARE
REPRESENTED IN THE COALITION
SUPPORT LETTER TO THE COMMITTEE.
DEREK HAS IMPACTED DISTRICTS AND
CHARTER SCHOOLS SIMILARLY. THIS
DESPITE A QUICK TRANSITION TO A
DIGITAL LEARNING ENVIRONMENT.
FOR STUDENTS LOST GROUND IN BOTH
MATH AND READING. HER ABSENTEE
RATE WENT UP IN THE PANDEMIC HAS
HAD A PROFOUND IMPACT ON OUR
STUDENTS MENTAL AND PHYSICAL
WELL BEING. WITH US TEACHERS AND
STAFF AND ARE STRUGGLING TO HIRE
QUALIFIED STAFF IN THIS TEACHER
SHORTAGE. WE'RE DEALING WITH THE
LONG TERM IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC
ON OUR SCHOOLS OUR STAFF AND
MOST IMPORTANTLY OUR STUDENTS.
AT THE SAME TIME OUR SCHOOLS ARE
BEING ASKED TO TURN THEIR
ATTENTION TOWARD CHARTER
RENEWALS. IN A PERIOD OF GREAT
UNCERTAINTY WITHOUT VALID OR
COMPLETE DATA NECESSARY FOR SUCH
A HIGH STAKES. LIVE OR DIE
DECISION. TESTING DURING THE
PANDEMIC WAS EITHER SUSPENDED OR
DONE IN A SCALED DOWN FORMAT. WE
DON'T HAVE COMPLETE OR
COMPATIBLE DASHBOARD DATA UPON
WHICH CHARTER SCHOOL CHARTER
RENEWALS ARE BASED. COMPARING
PRE PANDEMIC DATA TO MORE RECENT
RESULTS HAS BEEN WIDELY
DETERMINED TO BE INVALID. IN
ADDITION CHARTER RENEWALS TAKE
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF TIME. AND
RESOURCES. FOR BOTH CHARTERS
AND- AUTHORIZERS. THE PROCESS
BEGINS NEARLY AHEAD A YEAR AHEAD
OF THE CHARTERS EXPIRATION. WELL
BEFORE THE MOST RECENT DASHBOARD
DATA IS AVAILABLE FURTHER
COMPOUNDING THE DATA CHALLENGES
AT THIS TIME. RIGHT NOW OUR
FOCUS IS PUBLIC SCHOOLS USED TO
BE ON RECOVERY. ON LEARNING LOSS
AND OUR STUDENTS SOCIAL
EMOTIONAL WELL BEING. NOT ON
CHARTER RENEWALS. SB SEVEN
THIRTY NINE WOULD GRANT A TWO
YEAR EXTENSION ON. A CHARTER
RENEWAL TERMS WHICH WOULD HELP
OUR SCHOOLS AND HUNDREDS OF
OTHER SCHOOLS LIKE OURS. FOCUS
OUR ATTENTION ON WHERE IT'S
TRULY NEEDED AS WE TURN THE
CORNER OF THE PANDEMIC. IT IS
FOR THESE REASONS WHY WE SUPPORT
SB SEVEN THIRTY NINE THANK YOU
THANK YOU. AND GOOD LUCK HERE
FROM OTHER WITNESSES. HERE IN
THE HEARING ROOM IN SUPPORT- AND
IF SO PLEASE COME TO THE PODIUM.

MISTER TURNER AND MY OF BRAMBLE
ON BEHALF THE COLOR TEACH THIS.
RESPECT IN UPPER TO BILL THREE
NINE CERTAIN WE A THAT THE-
CAUSE HAVOC IN JUST ON SCHOOLS.
SYSTEM ALSO ON EVERY AREA OF OUR
PROFESSIONAL AND PERSONAL LIVES.
I JUST WANT TO CORRECT THE
COUPLE- INACCURACIES THAT I
HEARD AND THE TESTIMONY- CHARTER
SCHOOLS. ARE THE ONLY SCHOOLS
THAT CAN BE VOTED ON FOR CLOSURE
THAT'S NOT TRUE ANY PUBLIC
SCHOOL IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA COULD BE VOTED ON FOR
CLOSURE. THE DASHBOARD DATA IS
NOT AVAILABLE UNTIL LATE TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR- I MEAN THERE WERE
TWO YEARS WHERE IN TWENTY TWENTY
AND TWENTY TWENTY ONE WHEN WE
DIDN'T HAVE USABLE DASHBOARD
DATA FOR SCHOOL ACCOUNTABILITY
PURPOSES. AND THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE GOVERNOR SIGNED INTO LAW
AN EXTENSION ON CHARTER SCHOOL
PETITION EXPIRATIONS FOR TWO
YEARS SO THAT'S ALREADY OCCURRED
THE LEGISLATURE ESSENTIALLY
TOOK. US A STEP TO ENSURE THAT
THE PANDEMIC WOULDN'T BE- AN
OBSTACLE TO IMPLEMENTING THE
PROVISIONS OF AB ONE FIVE OH
FIVE WHICH WAS SPONSORED IN TWO
THOUSAND AND NINETEEN TO GET
EVERYBODY ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WHETHER IT'S- CHARTER SCHOOLS-
OR A NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
TO BE ON THE DASHBOARD A
MULTIPLE. METRIC SCHOOL
PERFORMANCE INDICATOR THE LOOKS
NOT JUST AT ENGLISH LANGUAGE
ARTS AND MATH TEST SCORES BUT
LOOKS ALSO AT THINGS LIKE. YOU
KNOW PARENT ENGAGEMENT LOOKS AT
SCHOOL CLIMB IT LOOKS AT
SUSPENSIONS AND IT'S A USEFUL
TOOL FOR PARENTS WHEN YOU'RE
COMPARING SCHOOLS SO IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT THAT WE'RE ALL. ON THE
DASHBOARD THE SPONSORS COME TO
US KNOWING THAT THERE'S TWO
YEARS WHERE WE DIDN'T HAVE-
DASHBOARD DATA THAT WE COULD USE
AND ASK INSTEAD FOR FOUR YEARS
OF AUTOMATIC RENEWALS AND A MATH
TEACHER WOULD TELL YOU THAT
DOESN'T ADD UP TO YEARS OF- DATA
THAT WE CAN'T USE. AND A FOUR
YEAR EXTENSION- THAT DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE CHARGE CRIMINALS BEEN
PAUSE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE
PANDEMIC- IN TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
FOUR THEY'LL BE BACK. AND IT'S
TIME AND AUTHORIZES HAVE DATA
THAT THEY KNEW TO MAKE A ASSESS.
NOT GOING TO SPEAK ON VERIFIED
DATA WHO THAT THE AUTHORS GOING
TO. ACCEPT KINDS OF IN BUT WOULD
SAY- CHARTER SCHOOLS WORST. WITH
THE PROMISE YOU KNOW WE GIVE YOU
THE FREEDOM TO INNOVATE YOU'LL
SHOW US RESULTS- IT'S TIME TO
BRING THOSE RESULTS BACK AND
LET'S KEEP OUR PROMISE WE ARE
UNDER NO BOTH. THANK YOU MISTER
TRAVEL. IN THE- NEXT- THIS. THIS
ISSUE COURT. GOOD MORNING. LUCY
SALCEDO CARTER ON THE OF THE
ALAMEDA. OFFICE OF EDUCATION.
RESPECTFULLY IN OPPOSITION TO SB
SEVEN THREE NINE. I FIRST WANT
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FURTHER ANALYSIS WHICH POINTS
OUT SEVERAL OF THE CONCERNS WE
HAVE WITH THE BILL. WE ALSO
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S INTENT
WITH THIS BILL BUT OPPOSE THE
BILL BECAUSE OF THE UNINTENDED
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES THAT WILL
RESULT. SAID THIS BILL IN ITS
CURRENT FORM BECOME LAW. COUNTY
OFFICES OF EDUCATION CONDUCT THE
ACADEMIC OPERATIONAL AND FISCAL
ASSESSMENTS THAT IN. THE COUNTY
BOARD'S DECISIONS ABOUT WHETHER
TO AUTHORIZE OR RENEW OR CHARTER
SCHOOL. ONE THING AND INTENDED
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES OF
ALLOWING ON. USE OF VERIFY DATA
IS THAT IT WILL CREATE AN
INEQUITABLE ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM. WHEREBY CHARTER SCHOOLS
AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE HELD TO
DIFFERENT STANDARDS. ANOTHER
NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN. THE USE
OF VERIFY DATA CREATES FOR
EDUCATION AGENCIES LIKE OURS. WE
DON'T MIND MORE WORK FOR BETTER
RESULTS. BUT MAKING COMPARISONS
ACROSS INCONSISTENT
ACCOUNTABILITY MEASURES MAKES NO
SENSE. WHEN WE NOW HAVE OUR
DASHBOARD AVAILABLE AGAIN. WE
ALSO OPPOSE THE BILL'S AUTOMATIC
TWO YEAR EXTENSION OF RENEWALS.
THE RENEWAL PROCESS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE AUTHORIZER
TO REVIEW THE CHARTER SCHOOL'S
PERFORMANCE A TWO YEAR RENEWAL
EXTENSION WILL ALLOW CHARTER
SCHOOLS TO GO TOO LONG. WITHOUT
THE AUTHORIZER BEING ABLE TO
DECIDE WHETHER TO RENEW OR NOT.
WE BELIEVE THAT CURRENT DATA
EXISTS. FOR CHARTER SCHOOL
AUTHORIZERS TO ASSESS THE
ABILITY OF CHARTER SCHOOLS TO
SERVE THEIR STUDENTS STARTING
WITH PETITIONS. THAT ARE
ELIGIBLE FOR NEW WILL AND TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. WE WILL REVIEW THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENTS- BUT WE DO
NOT BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD
ENACTED TO DELAY THE RENEWAL
PROCESS FOR THESE REASONS WE
URGE A NO VOTE THANK YOU. THANK
YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES HEARING

A QUESTION COMMENTS FOR THE
AUTHOR. I KNOW THIS INCLUDES.
LASER HAS IT'S. ONE I GUESS WE
CAN USE THIS NUMBER IS SUBJECT-
AND SO OF ARE GOING NOT FEELING
WELL SO YOUR YOUR STAMINA HERE-
MADAM. IF YOU COULD PLEASE CALL
ROLL ACOSTA CORPS. SENATORS
NEWMAN HERE. TOWBOATS PRESS.
COURTESY GLAZER. MCGUIRE HERE.
SMALLWOOD WILK. ERIC A QUORUM IS
PRESENT- CLOSER GLAZER WRAPS- WE
COULD DO THE CAN COUNT NOW FOR
HELPFUL JUDGING NO. I DON'T KNOW
IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING FOR THE FOR
THE OFFICE FOR COMING. QUESTION
THERE WAS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
COMMENT OR DIRECT A QUESTION TO
THE ALL I'M SORRY. I CAN I CAN
IF YOU MONTHS IF YOU DON'T HAVE
SETTLEMENT ON THE SCHOOL. THAT'S
. FOR I SPEECH.
TO THAT THE ONE YEAR THE TWO
YEAR IS THAT BASED ON A CALENDAR
YEAR AND ACADEMIC HERE AND
WHAT'S THE EFFECT OF THAT START
THERE AND SO THAT IS THE
MUNCHIES IT'S BASED ON FOR THAT
OF THE CALENDAR YEAR- AND THE
AUTHOR I DISCUSSED ONE OPTION
MAKING IT THE FOR THE SCHOOL
YEAR BUT BY CHANCE THAT DOESN'T
ACTUALLY- CHANGE MUCH BY WAY OF
THE- YES FOR THE DATA
COMPILATION AND- A NEW REVIEW
PROCESS. AT. SOAP OF THE LINING
. IT WHAT IT DOES IT GIVES YOU
EFFECT GIVES SPEAK TO YEAR EXAM
TO SOME. SCHOOL IN RICHMOND SO
THAT WOULD INCONSISTENT WITH.
THE AUTHOR THE OFF- THE CAN- I
AS OPPOSED TO MEN COULD I HEAR
FROM THE ON THAT UNDERSTOOD
BETTER THE CALENDAR YEAR VERSUS
ACADEMIC YEAR AND WHAT THAT
MEANS YES SO- BEING THAT I'VE
BEEN ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS
BOTH AS A CHARTER SCHOOL-
ADVOCATE OPENING SCHOOLS AS A
PARENT- AS WELL AS AS OPERATING
AND GOING THROUGH. DOES EVERY
NEW- MY INTENT WAS TO BE AS
THOUGHTFUL AS POSSIBLE OF ASKING
FOR THIS EXTENSION. AND ONE
THING THAT IS REAL IN TERMS OF
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF POLICY. IS
THAT WHEN WE IS LAWMAKERS HAVE
PUT FORWARD POLICY. THE DAY HERE
IN APRIL AND IT GOES TO THE
PROCESS IT IS NOT ACTUALLY GO
INTO EFFECT UNTIL THE FIRST
STATE OF THE FOLLOWING YEAR.
WHICH IS. AFTER ONE WHOLE
SEMESTER OF SCHOOL HAS ALREADY-
STARTED IN UNDER GOD. SO FOR ME
THE INTENT ON THE TWO YEAR IS TO
ESTABLISH A ONE FULL ACADEMIC
YEAR AT EXTENSION- BUT BECAUSE
OF THE WAY THAT AB THE YEARS
OVERLAP OR UNDER LACK IF YOU
WANNA LOOK AT IT THAT WAY. AB I
BELIEVE THAT IT SETS UP OUR
EDUCATORS. FROM DAY ONE START OF
SCHOOL. OUR FAMILIES TO BE
PARTNERS IN EDUCATION AND OUR
STUDENTS TO PERFORM AT THEIR
HIGHEST POTENTIAL TO ENSURE THAT
ONE FULL ACADEMIC YEAR IS
PROTECTED. AS AN EXTENSION WHICH
WOULD MEAN THAT I WOULD ASK THIS
COMMITTEE TO APPROVE THE TWO
YEAR. FOR A YEAR AND A HALF IF
THAT'S THAT WE WANT TO BE
TECHNICAL. AND SO LET ME ACTION
MR BRAMBLE IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND
- WE DISCUSSES AT LENGTH SO YOU
KNOW YOUR PERSPECTIVE ON THIS AS
A AS AN OPPONENT OF. FOLKLORE SO
I MEAN ORDERED AT SOME POINT WAS
THAT WE DIDN'T HAVE JOSH WERE
INTO THE TWENTY TWENTY FOUR WE
DO HAVE DOES MORE DATA IN TWENTY
TWENTY TWO AND IT'S FOR THE
TWENTY TWENTY. ONE TWENTY TWENTY
TWO SCHOOL YEAR SO WE HAVE THE
TWENTY TWENTY TO DUST BORN AND
WE HAVE THE TWENTY TWENTY THREE
DASHBOARD. THE PROBLEM WITH THE
TWENTY TWENTY TWO TO ITS BORDERS
THERE WAS CONVERSATION ABOUT
GROWTH THAT IT DOESN'T HAVE
COLORS ON IT BECAUSE- YOU HAVE
TO HAVE. A DATASET FROM BEFORE
THAT SO TWENTY TWENTY TWO IS OUR
STARTING POINT AND TWENTY TWENTY
THREE WILL HAVE COLORS AND THE
WHAT WE HAVE IN TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR IS IT WILL BE BRINGING BACK
THE RENEWAL PROCESS SO I HAVE
TWO YEARS WHICH IS WHAT'S
REQUIRED IN THE LAW IT MAKES
TOTAL SENSE. THAT WE SHOULD COME
BACK TO THEIR NORMAL PROCESS IN
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR IT'S VERY
LOGICAL. WRITTEN WANT I'M NOT
SURE THAT PROVIDES A INSIDE TO
MIKE. OF THE ACTIVE. YEAR YOU
KNOW IS THE CHARTER AT THE
DASHBOARD BASED ON ACADEMIC YEAR
IS THAT RIGHT. THAT'S CORRECT
AND THE WAY THAT. SCHOOLS
ASSESS. AND EVALUATE AND- HOW
SCHOOL BOARDS. MAKE DECISIONS ON
FUNDING THEY'RE MAKING THOSE
DECISIONS NOW JUST LIKE WERE
MAKING FUNDING DECISIONS THAT
POLICY MAKERS FOR THE FOLLOWING
YEAR. WHAT OUR STAFFING LOOKS
LIKE WHAT RESOURCES ARE GOING TO
BE WHAT- WHAT TUTORING SERVICES
EXTRA SUPPORT SERVICES THOSE
DECISIONS ARE BEING MADE RIGHT
NOW FOR THE FOLLOWING SCHOOL
YEAR. AND SO- IT'S A PROCESS
IT'S A WINDOW AS WE ALL KNOW
WITH PUBLIC SERVICE IT'S A
PROCESS OF BUDGETING.
IMPLEMENTATION EVALUATION. AND
THEN. COURSE CORRECTING. SO
THAT'S WHERE THAT TWO YEAR CYCLE
IS SO IMPORTANT. RIGHT BUT I
WOULD I APPRECIATE THAT'S WHY.
YOUR PREFERENCES RIGHT TO YOUR
CYCLE BUT I'M TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND IF IT WAS THE DATE
ACADEMIC YES AND SO IN SOME
CASES THAT'S THAT'S ONLY GOING
TO BE A YEAR AND A HALF. THAT'S
CORRECT AND- RESPECTFULLY. TO
ADD TO THE TESTIMONY IS WE ARE
MISSING THAT COLLEGE AND CAREER
DATA. THAT IS SO ESSENTIAL TO
OUR KIDS TRANSITIONING FROM HIGH
SCHOOL INTO COLLEGE AND CAREER
PATHS SO WE DO NOT HAVE COMPLETE
DATA AND THE DASHBOARD AND
WITHOUT THAT TWO YEAR EXTENSION
EXTENSION WE WOULD NOT HAVE
COMPLETE DATA. RIGHT BUT IT IS
GOING TO THE BACK TO THE CHAIR
PUSHING HIS INSIGHT ON THIS. AN
ACADEMIC YEAR. STILL IS ABOUT AN
EXTENSION FOR ONE YEAR AND ACT
ONE ACADEMIC YEAR IT MAY HAVE
THE EFFECT OF THE IN A YEAR AND
A HALF IN SOME CASES IS THAT
SOMETHING THAT. THAT WOULD BE AN
OPTION THAT WE SHOULD BE
CONSIDERING TO SHOW IT CAN I GET
SENATE BUDGET AND THAT'S
SOMETHING WE DISCUSSED AND I
THINK THE BROADER CONTEXT HERE.
IS THAT THIS COMES ON TOP OF A
TWO YEAR EXTENSION ALREADY
GRANTED- AND SO. THE COMPROMISE
HERE YOU YOU KNOW WITH THE
DANISH- KIND OF. CRAWFORD THE
BILL WAS TWO YEARS. AND THE
COMPROMISE WAS A YEAR NOTHING IS
PERFECT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
NOTE- YOU KNOW THE DUDE WE ALL
AGREE THE PANDEMIC SAID.
SUBSTANTIAL IMPACTED IN IN ALL
SPHERES OF LIFE IS SPECIAL
EDUCATION. AND SO. THE RATIONALE
HERE WHICH ABOUT THE PANDEMIC
CONCERT SO THE THINKING WAS WE
HAVE TO GET BACK ON A SCHEDULE-
THE ORIGINAL OFFER WAS TWO
YEARS- THE COMPRISES ONE YEAR
BUT THAT SEEMS. THAT SPLIT THE
BABY IS A WERE- AND SO. THE
RETURN ON. THE CHANGE- TO THE
ACT YEAR. WAS NOT I THINK I
THINK THE REVISED NOT OFFSET BY
ADDITIONAL. ADMINISTRATIVE
BURDEN AND THE SORT OF DE FACTO
EXTENSION WHICH GETS IS. CLOSER
TO TWO YEARS THAN TWO ZERO WHICH
WAS KIND OF THE ORIGINAL
OPPOSITION SO THAT'S WHY WE CAME
BACK. TO A YEAR I'VE I
APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN ACTUALLY
APPRECIATE LOUIS LOOKING FOR
COMPROMISE AND I AM ALSO VERY
AWARE THAT THIS IS AN UNWIELDY
PROCESS. INITIATIVE IN HEAVENLY.
BODY BUT AGAIN. THIS NECESSARY I
THINK WE AGREED BUT IT ALSO
COMES ON TOP OF- A PREVIOUS
EXTENSION- THEY'VE ALREADY
EXTENDED ONCE BY TWO YEARS. OUT
OF RECOGNITION THAT SUFFICIENT
DASHBOARD CHORE SCHOOL STUDENT
FORRESTER IS NECESSARY THE
RENEWAL PROCESS BUT THAT THAT
DATA APPLIES TO ALL SCHOOLS
RIGHT. TO ASK A FOLLOW UP TO
FIND A TEACHER- BE A PART OF
THIS WE TALK ABOUT THE PANDEMIC
IS OVER- YEAH WE KNOW THAT THE
PANDEMIC IS NOT OVER. BECAUSE HE
AFFECTED THE PANDEMIC IS ON
GOING ON A WHOLE VARIETY OF
ISSUES FOR OUR STUDENTS AT EVERY
LEVEL PUBLIC CHARTER PUBLIC
SCHOOL- AND A PART OF I THINK
THE A FAIR EVALUATION IS TO TRY
TO GET TO SOME PLACE OF
NORMALCY- IN TERMS OF THE
PROFESSOR FOR THE AT THE FOR THE
FUNCTIONING OF THE SCHOOL. AND
SO I APPRECIATE THE TWO YEAR
EXTENSION ISSUE AND I THINK THAT
WAS A- SMART THING TO DO. BUT
I'M ALSO TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
WHETHER WITH WITH IT'S
APPROPRIATE ENOUGH TO SAY WE'VE
GOTTEN TO A STABLE PLACE OF THAT
EVALUATIONS CAN BE PROPERLY
DONE. AND THAT'S WHAT I WAS
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND ONE HAND.
ON THE AND THE OTHER ISSUE IS-
THE ISSUE OF THE AUTHORIZERS THE
AUTHORIZING SIDE OF THIS- THAT
THAT IS A WORKLOAD ISSUE I HEAR
COMPLAINTS QUITE OFTEN- THAT THE
AUTHORIZING. A COMMUNITY DOESN'T
HAVE THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO DO
THEIR WORK IN REVIEWING PUBLIC
CHARTERS- AND- THIS CERTAINLY IS
GOING TO CREATE. YOU KNOW A AN
OBLIGATION AT EIGHT A-
RESPONSIBILITY ON THEM BASED ON
WHAT WE DO IN THIS BILL. SO I'M
TRYING TO ALSO UNDERSTAND THE
AUTHORIZERS CIRCUMSTANCES
WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD BE
GIVING THEM A LITTLE MORE
FLEXIBILITY- TO DO THEIR THEIR
GOOD WORK IN THEIR REVIEW. LET
ME ASSURE YOU IT MOST NECESSITY
TO COURT IF YOU WOULDN'T MIND
YOU ARE AUTHORIZERS. IF YOU
COULD SPEAK TO THOSE WHO THINK
THAT'S IMPORTANT. HE OUR CONCERN
WITH EXTENDING THE RENEWALS IS
IT THEN STACKS. THE NUMBER OF
FOR NEW RULES THAT WE HAVE TO
ASSESS INTO A SINGLE YEAR. I'M
SO THAT'S WHY WE ACTUALLY
OPPOSE- THE EXTENSION- IN
ADDITION WE SERVE AN APPEAL
FUNCTION SO WHEN YOU ADD THE
APPEALS TO THAT NUMBER- IT IT
JUST INCREASES THE WORKLOAD
EXPONENTIALLY IF I COULD ASK
FOR. STACKED BUT IF YOU WERE
GIVEN THE FLEXIBILITY TO DO IT
IN A YEAR AS AS A- AS PROPOSED
BY THE COMMITTEE OR TO GIVE
YOURSELF MORE TIME YOU HAVE YOUR
OWN CIRCUMSTANCE YOU'RE TRYING
TO EVALUATE EVERY AUTHORIZED OR
HAS THEIR OWN. CIRCUMSTANCES
WITHIN THAT FLEXIBILITY IS
SOMETHING. THAT YOU WOULD IT
WOULD BE BENEFICIAL TO YOU. WE
WOULD PREFERRED HAVE THINGS GET
BACK ON TRACK FOR THE OTHER
REASONS THAT I'VE MENTIONED-
RIGHT BUT DID WITHIN THIS ALSO
GIVE YOU THE ABILITY TO GET BACK
ON TRACK AS YOU SEE FIT I MEAN
YOU CAN DO IT ALL IN HERE AND BE
DONE. OR IF THERE WAS SOME
STAFFING ISSUES OR OTHER ISSUES
THAT CAME UP YOU COULD TAKE MORE
TIME WHY WOULD YOU NOT WANT THAT
FLEXIBILITY TO DO IT. THE WAY
YOU WOULD PREFER TO DO IT VERSUS
THE WAY CIRCUMSTANCE MAY DICTATE
. WELL WE'VE BEEN PREPARING WITH
THE CURRENT TIMELINE IN MIND. SO
I'LL JUST SAY THAT AND WE DO
HAVE LIMITATIONS- STAFF TIME AND
RESOURCE. IT LET ME ALSO
SPEAKERS ARE GREATER MEDIA YOU
KNOW THIS. YOUR POINT IS WELL
TAKEN BUT IT BUT- IT YOU KNOW
THIS IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SYSTEM.
WERE SYSTEM WIDE PROCESS RYAN
SAID TO REPORT WE'RE TRYING TO
GET. THE SYSTEM BACK ON TRACK SO
THAT IT IT DID OPERATES AS
ORIGINALLY INTENDED. WHILE
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT. THE IMPACT
PANDEMIC WILL ALSO HAVING HAVING
PROVIDED THE FIRST EXTENSION BUT
NOW. ANOTHER AN ADDITIONAL YEAR-
AND YOU KNOW SO THAT'S THE
LOGIC. YEAH AND I APPRECIATED
AND- AT ALL I'M ALL I'M TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND IS THE FACT THAT.
THE DASHBOARD IS CHANGED THE
PANDEMIC WALT- YOU KNOW AT SOME
OF THE MORE SIGNIFICANT HARMS.
IN THE SHORT TERM HAVE HAPPENED
THERE'S LONGER TERM CONSEQUENCES
AND THERE'S A LACK OF STABILITY.
AND WHETHER OR NOT WE SHOULD BE
PROVIDING A LITTLE BIT MORE
FLEXIBILITY. FOR THE AUTHORIZERS
AND THERE'S MANY. MORE THAN JUST
ALAMEDA COUNTY AT THE END IN
THIS LEGISLATION TO GIVE THEM
SOME. I THINK THAT YOU CAN YOU
KNOW GET. YOU COULD RENT YOU CAN
STILL HAVE THE REQUIREMENT OF
THE YEAR BUT SAY IF WORKLOAD OR
OTHER ISSUES COME INTO PLAY THEY
COULD HAVE UP TO TWO YEARS WHY
NOT GIVE THEM SOME MORE
FLEXIBILITY WITH IT LET ME LET
ME PUT IN A LITTLE CLOSER YOU
KNOW TO IN EFFECT. WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION DATE NEXT TO US
WE ARE EFFECTIVELY I THINK
ECONOMY ECONOMIC YEARS SAID SO
TWO YEARS OF DATA WILL BE
AVAILABLE IN MARCH OF TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. AND WHAT THAT MEANS
IS THAT IT'S A ONE YEAR
EXTENSION MEANS THE CHORES THAT
ARE TRYING TWENTY TWENTY FIVE.
WOULD BE THE FIRST TO ENTER THE
NEW PROCESS RIGHT SO IT IS HERE
THAT DOES I MEAN YOU KNOW BY ALL
ACCOUNTS I THINK THAT SEEMS LIKE
A MEANINGFUL EXTENSION. RIGHT AN
INMATE NAMED MAC MAY NOT BE
IDEAL TO SOME BUT AGAIN BIG
STATES- LOTS OF DIFFERENT
AUTHORIZED AGENCIES THOUSANDS OF
SCHOOLS- AND SO THIS IS THIS IS
WHAT TAKEN ACCOUNT. CHILDREN
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT TO- JUST
WANT TO ADD A FEW PIECES THE
FACT IN THIS- IN. IN A
TRADITIONAL. PUBLIC SCHOOL DO.
ENVIRONMENT UP I WOULD AGREE
WITH. POINT WE HAVE SEEN A
CHARTIST. OPEN DURING THE TIME
OF. WHEN THE- YOU KNOW WE WERE
PREPARED. INTO POST PANDEMIC WE
HAVE SO. NEW OPERATIONS- SERVE
THE NEEDS OF KIDS. IN SO MANY
DIFFERENT WAYS- WITH TECHNOLOGY.
WITH YOU KNOW RULE BASED. OF NON
CLASSROOM BASED. AND SO WE SAW
REAL SOLUTIONS COME FORWARD TO
HELP BRIDGE THAT GAP DURING THE
PANDEMIC. SO MANY OF THOSE ARE
ON THAT COLLEGE TO CAREER PATH
AND WE WOULD NOT HAVE. THE
NECESSARY DATA. SO THEY WOULD BE
GOING INTO THESE LIVE OR DIE.
SITUATIONS WITHOUT THE NECESSARY
DATA TO BE EVALUATED UNDER THE
CURRENT. GUIDELINES THE CURRENT
RESTRICTIONS. SO JUST THE BASE
OF COURSE. MAYBE WHAT BACK AND
FORTH BUT THAT CAN BE TO A- FOR
AUTHOR TO WRITE. B. E. A. YOU
KNOW YOU YOU HAVE SOME LATITUDE
AND LOOKING AT CASES LIKE THE
ONE DESCRIBED YES ABSOLUTELY AND
TO WORK WITH THE CHARTER SCHOOLS
AS WE'RE DOING THE ASSESSMENTS.
WE SHOULD NOT. CAN READ YOUR
BOOK. SO I AM I'M- NEVER. AS FAR
AS- THE DASHBOARD OF THE DATA
THAT THEY WERE GOING TO HAVE
AVAILABLE CONSIDERING- THE TWO
YEAR EXTENSION- JUST
CLARIFICATION THE TWO YEAR
EXTENSION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN
GIVEN WAS THAT TO GIVE GRACE FOR
WHICH YEARS. WORKING BACKWARDS
AND NO ONE SHOULD GET THIS RIGHT
THAT WAS THAT WAS FOR THE
PANDEMIC YEARS CORRECT. TWENTY
TWENTY ONE. 222-020-2020 ONE
TWENTY TWO TWENTY ONE. AND LET
ME FINISH SO TUESDAY WILL BE
BUILT ON MARCH TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR- THIS THIS APPLIES TO
CHARTERS BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE
EXPIRING IN TWENTY TWENTY FIVE
SO YOU SO YOU WOULD HAVE TWO
YEARS OF DATA. AVAILABLE SAID
THIS IS WHERE I WAS TRYING TO
FIGURE OUT THE TWO YEARS OF DATA
WHICH IF THEY WERE TO BE RENEWED
IN TWENTY FIVE WOULD BE BETWEEN
TWENTY THREE AND TWENTY FOUR.
AND TWENTY TWO AND TWENTY THREE
IS THAT CORRECT I BELIEVE THAT
IS CORRECT OKAY AND- AND THIS
DATA WILL BE USED TO ASSESS
WHETHER OR NOT A- A RENEWAL FOR
THAT CHARTER. WOULD BE IN PLACE
BASED ON PERFORMANCE- CORRECT
BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WERE ALIGNED AND- ON THE DATES
AND TIMES IS IT OKAY IF I BRING
THE TECHNICAL QUESTION TO MY
WITNESS I THINK IT'S FINE BUT
I'M ALSO GOING TO HAVE THE
AUTHORIZER. CORRECT WINNERS YES
CANNOT SPEAK TO HOW THEY HAVE
ALL YOUR DECISIONS AND TO HAVE
CERTAIN ANSWER THE QUESTIONS.
WOULD BE FAIR. THANK YOU I'M- TO
BE CLEAR I THE CURRENT DOWN DATA
IN ITS DATA FOR LAST YEAR. I
DON'T THINK ANYBODY THIS ROOM.
IF THE FIVE THAT LAST YEAR WAS
NOT A RISK. LAST YEAR WAS-
ALMOST HARD. THAN BEING IN THE
PANDEMIC WE NEVER SCHOOL
CLOSURES. CHRONIC ABSENTEEISM
SKYROCKETED TO DO MANY VARIANTS
AND THE- WITH WITH ON. THE BACK.
OF IT- AND SO LAST YEAR I
COULDN'T EVEN OPEN SCHOOLS IN
JANUARY AFTER WINTER BREAK
BECAUSE I DIDN'T HAVE ENOUGH
ADULTS WHO WERE NOT SICK. TO
OPEN SCHOOLS THAT'S THE DEED IN
THE DASHBOARD RIGHT NOW. THE
DATA DOES WHAT IS ALSO
INCOMPLETE BECAUSE IT DOES NOT
C. C. IDEA IT ALSO DOESN'T HAVE
CHANGE IT ONLY HAS STATUS.
THERE'S A REASON WHY THE
DASHBOARDS PURPLE IT'S
INCOMPLETE IT WAS MEANT TO BE
BASELINE DATA TO ASSESS LEARNING
LOSS IN A ONCE IN A LIFETIME
PANDEMIC. SCHOOL IF WE DO NOT
HAVE A TWO YEAR RENEWAL THAT
DATA WILL BE USED AGAINST
SCHOOLS. THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT AND THAT'S WHY I
WANTED TO HAVE CLARIFICATION AS
TO THE DATA BECAUSE I AM VERY I
THINK WE'VE BEEN SITTING ON MOST
OF US HAVE BEEN ON EDUCATION FOR
THESE PROCESSES TWENTY TWENTY.
AND I'VE BEEN IN SCHOOL WORK
HARD TO COME HERE IN TWENTY
TWENTY WAS ELECTED IN TWENTY
TWENTY. WAS HERE IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE SO I'M VERY PREVIOUS
TO. THE IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC
HAD ON ON THE PERFORMANCE OF
SCHOOLS- UNDER STUDENTS AND SO
FORTH AND THE REASON I'M ASKING
THIS QUESTION I WANTED TO
CLARIFY. WHAT DATE AFTER WHAT
YEARS WAS CURRENTLY IN PLACE.
REASON BEING AS SUCH BECAUSE THE
STATE IS BEING USED. IN THE.
CONSIDERATION FOR- AT. COULD NOT
BE ASSESSED IN BUT AS- WE KNOW A
LOT FOR RENEWAL FOR THE RENEWAL
CHARTERS. I WOULD. TO INCOMPLETE
DATA OR DATA IS BEEN IMP. BY THE
- IN ASSESSING WHETHER OR NOT A
CHARTER- HAS MERIT TO CONTINUE
ITS WORK. AND THAT'S WHY I
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT I
UNDERSTOOD WHICH YEARS ARE
TECHNICALLY THE ONES THAT ARE
CURRENTLY IN THE DATA. THAT
WOULD BE INCLUDED AS THE
OFFICIAL TWO YEARS OF DATA
WITHIN THE SYSTEM. AND I THINK-
WITH ALL DUE RESPECT. TO OUR
CHAIR. WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT ANY
DATA BETWEEN TWENTY TWENTY.
TWENTY TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWENTY
TWO. WE'RE IN TWENTY TWENTY
THREE RIGHT NOW WOULD BE
COMPROMISED BY THE PANDEMIC
BECAUSE OF THE IMPACT IN THE
CLOSURES IN THE STATE OF. BEING
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO
THAT'S WHY I WANTED TO CLARIFY
THAT BECAUSE IT DOES IMPACT
EVALUATION OF THOSE RENEWALS AND
WE ALL KNOW THAT THAT THOSE
PARTICULAR YEARS HAVE BEEN
IMPACTED THE ONLY REAL YEAR THAT
I THINK WE'RE GOING TO BE. EVEN
CLOSE TO BEING AS NORMAL AS WE
CAN TO MAKE WOULD BE CURRENTLY
THE TWENTY TWENTY TO TWENTY
TWENTY THREE. LET LET LET ME TRY
TO CLARIFY SO TO YOUR POINT THAT
EVEN IF THERE'S CONCERN THAT THE
TWENTY TWENTY TO DATE IS NOT
GOOD TODAY. BY THE TIME THE
SCHOOLS APPLY FOR RENEWALS IN
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE GET TO THAT
POINT WE WILL IN FACT HAVE
TWENTY TWENTY THREE DASH FOR
DATA WITH COLORS IN TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR DASH FOR DATA WITH
COLORS. AND SO AGAIN YUP THAT IS
WHY THE THINKING IS THAT A ONE
YEAR EXTENSION IS SUFFICIENT- TO
BOTH MEET THAT CONCERN BUT ALSO
GET THE. SYSTEM BACK ON TRACK
MISTER BROWN I THINK. YOU WANT
TO RESTORE AS WELL CLARIFY POINT
NOT SURE HE'S- THERE'S A DELAY
IN GETTING TO WHERE DO YOU SO
THE WAY RENEWALS WORK IF I NOT
FROM. MY CHOI EXPIRE IN JUNE
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE I ACTUALLY
HAVE TO GO UP FOR RENEWAL IN
FALL OF TWENTY TWENTY FOUR. THE
DASHBOARD FOR THE PREVIOUS YEAR
IS NOT READY BY THAT. TYPICALLY
THEY ARE SUPPORTED NOT RELEASED
UNTIL LATE DECEMBER EARLY
JANUARY SO MY RENEWAL HAS PASSED
BEFORE THE DASHBOARD IS
AVAILABLE AND READY TO USE SO
I'M STILL GOING TO BE JUDGED. ON
TWENTY TWO DATA WITH THE BIG
DEBTS THAT PROCESS STARTS IN
MARCH OF TWENTY FOUR CORRECT.
WHAT'S UP WITH THE REAL PRESS
WAS STARTED IN MARCH OF TWENTY
FOUR. MY IF YOU GIVE A YEAR X.
OF MY TO EXPE IN TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE- MOTT THE DASHBOARD FOR THE
PREVIOUS YEAR. WILL NOT BE READY
UNTIL- UNTIL JANUARY DECEMBER OF
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR FOR JANUARY
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE I CAN'T WAIT
TILL JANUARY TWENTY TWENTY FIVE
TO START MY RENEWAL. I LOSE ALL
MY APPEAL RIGHTS ANTI RACISM
ADMISSION THERE BE A THIRD YEAR
TO. BUT IT MAY IT IS SO I THIS
IS GOOD. A LITTLE CONVOLUTED TO
WIZARD. IF SHOULD IT- AND- THIS
IS THE THIS IS A- VERY AND
PROCESS. WAS BRAMBLE DISORDER
CLARIFY SOME DAY- I THINK YOU
CAN. OF THE TWENTY TWO TO.
DASHBOARD AS THE STARTING POINT
IT HAS. AS IS A- IN. WHAT IT'S
MIS IS THE CO. BECAUSE IT DOES
SHOW. FOR THE PRIOR THERE WAS
WILL BE PRIMARY. SO IF YOU TALK
ABOUT TWENTY IS THIS. POINT
TWENTY TWO THREE TO. WILL HAVE
COME- AND THAT'S WHY AND- TWO
FOUR. WHEN NOW THE RENEW SKIN
THIS. TO COME BACK WE HAVEN'T
HAD NOSE FOR FIVE YEARS SOME
TRADERS HAVEN'T GONE FOR SEVEN
YEARS WITHOUT RENEWALS AND THE
PROPOSAL YEARS NINE YEARS
WITHOUT RENEWALS. BUT BUT YOU
KNOW ESSENTIALLY IF YOU'RE BACK
IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR HE GOT THE
TWENTY TWENTY TWO DATA AND YOU
GOT THE. TWENTY TWENTY THREE
DATA THEIR TWO YEARS OF USABLE
DATA. AND SO. MISTER SPEAKER.
YOU'RE GOOD. TIMES AB. YOU
CERTAINLY MAY. HERE I GUESS I'M
JUST TRYING TO AND I HAVE. THE
DE. DATA DEBATE. BUT PART OF
THE- THE WORK OF AN SCHOOL- DATA
TO BE ABLE TO SEE TRENDS AND BE
ABLE TO MAKE CHANGES. IN THE AT
THE WORK THAT IS BEING DONE SO
YOU CAN MAKE THINGS BETTER WHEN
YOU SEE THAT DEFICIENCIES YOU
HAVE TIME TO IMPROVE THE
DEFICIENCIES VERSES. IT'S A IT'S
A- IT'S A IT'S A TEST RESULT AND
THAT'S THE END OF THE STORY. IF
YOU DON'T HAVE THAT FIVE YEARS
OF DATA LEADING UP TO RENEWAL
YOU HAVE TO YOU HAVE YOU BEEN
BLINDED ON THAT AND TELL ME IF
I'M WRONG HERE. YOU'VE BEEN
BLINDED ON YOUR ABILITY TO MAKE
CHANGES IN YOUR SCHOOL TO
IMPROVE THINGS. THAT IT'S ALMOST
LIKE A FLASH EXAM AND THAT'S THE
END OF THE STORY. THOUGH THE
ABSENCE OF DATA AND THOSE TWO OR
THREE YEARS SEEMS TO BE A VERY
SIGNIFICANT ISSUE FOR THE
BILLION ANYONE ANY ANY SCHOOL.
ANY ANY EVALUATION OF A
LEGISLATIVE BODY TO MAKE CHANGES
TO ADJUST TO IT. TOO AND I MISS
MY I MIGHT LET ME I JUST I JUST
FOR SOME ADDITIONAL CONCERT TO
SENATORS. THE ROOM PROCESS DOES
TAKE INTO ACCOUNT. THAT THE DASH
FOR DATA MAY NOT ALWAYS BE
AVAILABLE- AND SO DID WHAT THE
STATUTE SAYS IN THAT CASE IT
SAYS. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS
SECTION SECTION FORTY SEVEN SIX
DECEMBER TWO IF THE DASHBOARD
INDICATORS ARE NOT YET AVAILABLE
FOR THE MOST RECENT COMPLETED
ACADEMIC YEAR BEFORE UNTIL THE
CHARTING AT FORTY. SHALL
CONSIDER VERIFIABLE DATA
PROVIDED BY THE CHORE SCHOOL
RELATED TO THE DASHBOARD
INDICATORS SUCH AS DATA FOR THE
CALIFORNIA ASSESSMENT. OF
STUDENT PERFORMANCE AND PROGRESS
FOR ANY SUCCESSOR SYSTEM FOR THE
MOST. RECENT YEAR SO IS THIS
SORT OF SITUATION- WAS
CONTEMPLATED- BUT AND THAT IS I
GET THAT IN TERMS OF ALTERNATIVE
DATA TO RELY UPON BUT THAT
DOESN'T CHANGE THE ISSUE IT TWO
OR THREE YEAR PANDEMIC AFFECT.
RIGHT YES YOU COULD HAVE. OTHER
EXAMINATIONS OF THOSE THAT
DURING THAT THE PANDEMIC RECORD
BUT VICTOR IF I DID IT DID IT IS
AVAILABLE DURING CONDEMNING. AND
RIGHT IT IS IT'S NOT A- ON
FRIDAY IT MAY NOT DIG INTO AS A
DEAL. THANK IT'S NOT IT'S NOT.
TRUTH IT'S A IT'S NOT TRUTH SO
IT DATA DATE. AND RIGHT AND SO
IT MAY NOT BE I DO. TO PAY MAY
OF IMPACT BUT BUT THE INDIA OF
THE DID SUBJECT WAS JUST. TO
CAPTURE MATCH. AND YOU KNOW WHEN
WE HAD A ONCE IN A LOT. JUST
EVENT. AND WE'RE TRYING TO GET
BACK ON. AND WE'RE TRYING TO DO
SO IN A WAY THAT THAT IS NOT-
DELETERIOUS TO WARN HIM THE
DELETERIOUS TO THE PEOPLE WOULD
USE THAT DATA. AND AGAIN THAT'S
THE BASIS FOR THE COMPROMISED
RIGHT. THE ORIGINAL PROFFER WAS
TWO YEARS. THE KNOW NO NO. HAD
BEEN. PRIOR TO THIS LEGISLATIVE
EFFORT INTO THE OFFER OF. A ONE
YEAR IS IN FACT THE COMPROMISED
. JUST TO RESPOND ON SOME OF
THAT THE COMMENTS THERE- IN
TERMS OF INCOMPLETE. DATA AND
YOU BROUGHT UP HE BROUGHT UP THE
NOTION OF VERIFY DATA. AND A
PORTION OF THIS BILL SPEAKS TO
VERIFY DATA AND SAYS IN THE
EVENT. THAT A GOVERNING BOARD
DOES NOT HAVE THE COMPLETE DATA
AND IS FORCED TO MAKE A
DECISION. THAT THE CHARTER
SCHOOL CAN THEN. PUT FORWARD
VERIFY DATA THAT IS REQUIRED TO
BE ASSESSED. NOW WHY THIS
PORTION OF THE BILL IS SO
IMPORTANT BECAUSE WE KNOW WE
HAVE GAPS WE ALL AGREE THAT
THERE ARE GAPS. SOME OF THE MOST
VULNERABLE. PAUL R. T. CARES ARE
FOR KINDERGARTNERS OR FIRST
GRADERS AND SECOND GRADERS. THAT
WERE BORN INTO THIS PANDEMIC IN
THEIR EDUCATIONAL LIFE. AND NONE
OF THE STANDARDIZED TESTING DATA
ON THE DASHBOARD COVERS THAT
VERY VULNERABLE GROUP. SO WITH
THE TWO YEAR EXTENSION OR
WITHOUT THE TWO X. YEAR
EXTENSION THAT STILL EXISTS THAT
GAP WILL STILL EXIST. IN THIS
SITUATION. BECAUSE CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE EVALUATED ON
PERFORMANCE DATA PERFORMANCE
METRICS. ACADEMIC AND NON
ACADEMIC. NON ACADEMIC DATA THAT
IS IMPACTED BY THE SOCIO
EMOTIONAL TRAUMA AND FEAR THAT
WAS INSTILLED IN FAMILIES IN OUR
SCHOOL COMMUNITIES. WE ARE SEEN
NOT ONLY INCOMPLETE DATA IN
ACCURATE DATA IN ACCURATE TO THE
POTENTIAL OF OUR STUDENTS
ABILITY TO PERFORM. SO WE ARE
ALMOST THERE OUR PUBLIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM HERE IN
CALIFORNIA I FEEL VERY HOPEFUL
AND CONFIDENT THAT WE'RE HEADED
IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION. THE
PANDEMIC GIVE US A REAL BIG
PUNCH IN THE GUT. THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO CATCH OUR
BREATH RIGHT CATCH YOUR BREATH
AFTER KNOWING THAT YES WE DID
CLOSE DOWN SCHOOLS FOR EIGHTEEN
MONTHS PLUS BUT WE DID NOT KNOW
WHEN WE GAVE THAT FIRST TWO YEAR
RENEWAL EXTENSION. THE IMPACT
THE AFTERMATH OF THE PANDEMIC WE
DID NOT KNOW AND NOR CAN WE
PREDICT THE IMPACT THAT WOULD
HAVE. WE'RE RECOVERING IN TERMS
OF OUR HOUSING MARKET WERE
RECOVERING IN TERMS OF OUR-
EMPLOYMENT OF OUR OF OUR FOOD
SCARCITY OUR OUR COST OF LIVING
. WE NEED TO MAKE THAT SAME
RECOVERY. TO OUR EDUCATION
SYSTEM AND SO THAT'S WHY THIS
BILL IS SO IMPORTANT INTO PART
AND I UNDERSTAND HOW COMPLEX IT
IS AND I UNDERSTAND US WANTING
TO GET BACK INTO THE NORMAL
NORMALCY. I GET IT. I HAD THREE
KIDS ON PATH TO FOUR YEAR
UNIVERSITY AT TO JUNIORS AND
SENIORS AND THE PANDEMIC HIT.
AND THEIR NORMALCY WAS MOVING
INTO A TWO YEAR AB BRIDGE
PROGRAM INTO THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IN ORDER FOR THEM TO GET
EMOTIONALLY READY PHYSICALLY
READY. TO LEAVE HOME TO PUT
THEIR WINGS ON AND FLY INTO
THEIR FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY. SO
AS HARDCORE AS I AM AROUND
EDUCATION I UNDERSTOOD I NEEDED
TO GIVE MY KIDS THAT RESPITE TO
GET BACK ON TRACK. BUT I COULD
NOT UNIFORMLY THANKS TO ALL OF
THEM YOU HAVE TO GET BACK ON FOR
YOUR TRACK OF COLLEGE BY THIS
DATE. COULD NOT TAKE INTO
CONSIDERATION THE NUANCES. AND
THE INDIVIDUAL NEEDS OF THOSE
CHILDREN MY CHILDREN THAT A
RESPONSE I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR.
NOW AS A LEGISLATOR WE ARE
RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL CALIFORNIA'S
CHILDREN. SO I ASK YOU TODAY TO
LOOK AT THIS BILL THROUGH THAT
LENS OF RESPONSIBILITY TO OUR
KIDS AND TO OUR FAMILIES AND IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH OUR EDUCATORS
TO GET BACK ON TRACK. BUT TO NOT
APPLY A ONE SIZE FITS ALL SO
THAT WE CAN GET TO A PLACE WHERE
WE ARE ALL HEALING. WE ARE
BUILDING RESILIENCY RESILIENT
COMMUNITIES WITH OUR OUR SCHOOLS
BY APPROVING THIS MEASURE AND BY
CONTINUING TO GET BACK ON TRACK
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILLS ABOUT.
SHOULD USERS I JUST WANNA MAKE.
SO THE CLEARLY I THINK WE DO
NEED TO MAKE A DISTINCTION
BETWEEN. YOU'RE VERY COMPELLING
SORT OF. DISK OF YOUR KIDS
EXPERIENCE AND THE RENEWAL
PROCESS RIGHT THERE'S SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT THINGS STRAIGHT SO.
THE ENOUGH ALL OF THESE THINGS
ARE INCLUDED STATED THAT. ARE
USER- PROCESS- BUT BUT IT'S
ABOUT. RELATIVITY THE YESTERDAY
TO THE CORRECT PM HAVE A
RELATIVE MEASURE. OF SUCCESS AND
AGAIN TO BE CLEAR THERE OR-
FEATURES OF THE NEW PROCESS THAT
TAKES INTO ACCOUNT- EXTEND YOUR
CIRCUMSTANCES RATIO IS SO AGAIN.
NONE OF THIS IS OPTIMAL BECAUSE
OF COVERT THAT'S RIGHT BUT I
DON'T THINK THAT IT'S FAIR TO
SAY THE DATA IS INACCURATE IT'S
JUST THEY ARE A REFLECTION. OF
THE TRYING TIME WE FACED. AND I
THINK IT IN FOR SPORTS SUBTEXT
OF ALL OF THIS IS THAT THERE
SOMETHING. HURLEY YOU HAVE BY
STRICT CHU. YOU KNOW THE IN THE
RENEWAL PROCESS TO. CHARTER
SCHOOL ADDED THAT IS NOT THE-
HERE- AND IN FACT THIS
COMMITTEES. LARGER TURN TO MAKE
SURE THEY IS NOT THE CASE-
ANSWER. AGAIN COME BACK TO WHERE
WE STORE WHICH WE- THE OFFER OF
ONE YEAR- IT IS IN FACT A
COMPROMISE IN THE END AND WE
CONSIDERED A VERY REASONABLE
COMPROMISE CONSIDERING ALL OF
THE VIEWS. OF ALL OF THE
AFFECTED STAKEHOLDERS- AND SO I
THANK THEM TO GIVE YOU A CHANCE
TO CLOSE BUT I'M A GOOD GUY.
JOHN GOING TO. REITERATE THE
PROPOSED AMENDMENT. ONE THAT WE
THE PER CHARTER SCHOOLS TO
FUTURE SCHOOLS TERMS. ON A CHOI
. JANUARY FIRST TWENTY FOUR JUNE
THIRTIETH. TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN
INCLUSIVE FROM TWO YEARS TO ONE
YEAR- AND STRIKE ALL PROPOSED
CHANGES RELATED TO VERIFY DATA-
INSERT THOSE THOSE WHO MANAGES
TO THE QUESTION FOR YOU- I GUESS
IS PART BECAUSE IT'S ORG ARE YOU
OPEN TO ACCEPTING THOSE
AMENDMENTS- HAPPY A RESPECTFULLY
- IF YOU DON'T THAT'S FAIR- THAT
IS THAT IS YOUR PREROGATIVE AS-
OF THE AUTHOR HERE. THAT IS THE
THAT IS THE QUESTION BEFORE YOU.
SELL AYE AYE I BELIEVE IN
COMPROMISE AND I KNOW. THE
INTENT OF THIS COMMITTEE IS TO
DO GOOD BUYER KIDS IN OUR
SCHOOLS- ONE OTHER PIECE OF NOTE
BECAUSE I DO BECOME VERY
PASSIONATE WHEN I TALK ABOUT. MY
OWN KIDS OF MY OWN EXPERIENCES.
BUT REMEMBER. WHEN THE PANDEMIC.
AND WE WERE TRYING TO BUILD THAT
BRIDGE FOR OUR COLLEGE AND
CAREER STUDENTS. THE UC SYSTEM
IN THE CAL STATE SYSTEM MADE A
DECISION A DECISION THAT
DETERMINATION. NOT TO. MANDATE
SAT STANDARDIZED TESTING TO
EVALUATE OUR STUDENTS ABOUT
WHETHER OR NOT THEY WERE READY
TO BE. GO ON TO COLLEGE THAT WAS
A DECISION THAT WE MADE. BASED
ON THE PANDEMIC WE GAVE A BREAK
RIGHT TO BE ABLE TO RECOVER AND
TO ALLOW OUR STUDENTS TO REACH
THEIR LEVEL OF POTENTIAL.
POTENTIAL IN THEIR CHOICE AT
SUCH A TENDER AGE SO THIS IS
REALLY PARALLEL TO THAT SO. THAT
IS MY LAST PLEA HERE- I AM OPEN
TO COMPROMISE AND I AM OPEN TO
HAVING. A REASONABLE- AMENDMENT
SO THAT WE CAN MOVE FORWARD AND
CONTINUE TO DO RIGHT BY OUR KIDS
. ANSWERED THE QUESTION HERE IS
DO YOU REGARD THE SYSTEM
REASONABLE AMENDMENT AND WILL
ACTUALLY WE SENT TO. I THINK
THERE A REASONABLE OF. IS FOR US
TO STRIKE ALL VERIFY DATA AS
PROPOSED CHANGES- AND I WOULD-
IN TERMS OF. PROCEDURE IN
COMMITTEE CHAIR AND I WOULD ASK
FOR YOUR AB DIRECTION ON THIS
ONE- WOULD THE COMMITTEE BE
AMENABLE. TO TAKING A VOTE AS
AMENDED OR EXCUSE ME AS
PRESENTED AND IF THAT BOAT SHALL
NOT. GET A MOTION THEN WE CAN
HAVE THE DISCUSSION AROUND
AMENDMENTS OR IS IT ONE OR THE
OTHER. THE PROBLEM HERE IS WE
DON'T HAVE THE FULL. THE PANEL
HERE RIGHT WITH THAT SO THE
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A LOT OF
TROUBLE DOING THAT. TODAY IN THE
ABSENCE OF THE FULL COMMITTEE.
THANK AND CERTAIN I'M NOT
INCLINED TO COME BACK IN AND RE
OPEN THIS CONVERSATIONS. OF THE
AGENDA ZERO ZERO UNFORTUNATELY
ANSWER THERE IS NO. AND THAT IS
BAD SO THE YOU KNOW WE WANTED TO
FOR YOU'RE ACCEPT THE MEMBERS OF
ON THE PRO AMENDMENTS- YOU CAN.
REFUSE REMEMBER WILL VOTE. ON
YOUR PROPOSED TRIPS. MISTER
CHAIRMAN WANT TO FOLLOW PLANNING
COMMISSION IT'S A E. DON'T THAT
THE ONE ACT YEAR AS- VEHICLE TO
YOU I DO. ENFORCE IF YOU FOR ALL
REASONS WE DISCUSS. AND SURE
WOULD YOU BE A TO- HELLO THE ONE
EXT. WITH THE OPPORTUNITY FOR
LOCAL. AUTHORITIES LOCAL LOCAL
AUTHORIZING BODIES AN APPEAL
BODIES TO THEN HAVE THE LENIENCY
FOR TO BE ABLE TO EXTEND. THE
RENEWAL NO I THINK THAT'S-
REALLY PROBLEMATIC. BECAUSE FOR
AGAINST IMMIGRATION DISCUSSED AT
THE END OF THE SESSION WILL THEN
BECOME THE RULE WITH. BUT BUT
BUT WHEN THAT THE LOCAL CHOICE
THEN I MEAN YOU GET THE ONE YEAR
MINIMUM REQUIREMENT IS A LIST OF
THIS PROCESS SLOWED IT IS
UNFORTUNATE GOVERNED BY STATUTE
SO. NO AND AGAIN TAKE INTO
ACCOUNT THAT THERE ARE OTHER
BASIS. FOR LOCAL AUTHORIZES TO
MAKE. IT YOU KNOW TO CONSIDER
DATA DATA AND OTHER CASES AND
MAKE ALTERNATIVE ASSISTANCE IS
THAT CORRECT ASSIST MISTER
SPEAKER. AND IT'S POINT WE'RE
GONNA VOTE ON THIS. UNTIL THE
FULLY BUT- TAKE A LOOK THE
STATUTE THAT I NOT WANT TO PUT
THE AUTHORIZES IN THAT POSITION

POINT WE ARE. GOING TO KILL HER

AYE VOTE- ON THE PROPOSED
AMENDMENTS AND ASKED THAT- THAT

CHILD CARE PARENTS CANNOT WORK
ACCORDING TO THE CENTER FOR
AMERICAN PROGRESS TO TALK HER
WORKFORCE HAS LOST EIGHTY EIGHT.
THOUSAND JOBS NATIONALLY SINCE
FEBRUARY OF TWENTY TWENTY HOW CO
WORKERS ARE SOME OF THE LOWEST
PAID WORKERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY
THEY ARE CURRENTLY M. T. S.
THERE ARE CURRENTLY EMPTY EARLY
CHILDHOOD CLASSROOMS BECAUSE
PROVIDERS CANNOT HIRE ENOUGH
TEACHERS TO STAFF THEM. THIS
BILL WOULD HELP EARLY LEARNING
AND CHILDCARE PROVIDERS AND
FAMILIES BY TRANSITIONING
PROVIDERS TO A SINGLE COST BASED
REIMBURSEMENT RATE SUSPENDING
FAMILY FEES UNTIL AN EQUITABLE
FAMILY FEE SCHEDULE CAN BE
ESTABLISHED AND MAKE
REIMBURSEMENT- BASED ON THE
ENROLLMENT RATHER THAN
ATTENDANCE TODAY WE HAVE LAWANDA
WESLEY. DIRECTOR DIRECTOR OF

CARE RESEARCH CENTER AND HEIDI
KYSER A PUBLIC POLICY OFFICER
FOR HEALTH CARE ACTION TO
SUPPORT THIS BILL. THANK YOU AND
WELCOME AGAIN THANK YOU FOR YOUR
PATIENCE ALL ANYTIME I THANK YOU
TURN NEWMAN AND COMMITTEE AS
WELL AS- SO THE TOTAL AMOUNT FOR

CHILD CARE WORKERS- THAT'S FAR
THE RATE REFORM FOR TALKING TO
WORKERS. I AM DOCTOR MELINDA
WESLEY THE DIRECTOR GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS ARE AGENCIES. ABOUT
FIFTY THOUSAND CHILDREN BETWEEN
NORTHERN LOS ANGELES AND SAN
BERNARDINO COUNTY IT IS A
PRIVILEGE FOR ME TO BE BEFORE
YOU TODAY REPRESENTING OUR CALL
SPONSORS AS WELL AS- PARENTS AND
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES. I WOULD
LIKE TO TELL YOU THREE WHAT
THREE REASONS WHY THIS BILL IS
URGENT THE FIRST ONE IS THERE IS
A NEED TO INCREASE ACCESS. AND
SUSTAIN HIGH QUALITY WORK
FOREST. THE OTHER IS WE NEED TO
ADDRESS THE LONG OVERDUE- RACIAL
AND GENDER PAY INEQUITIES AND
DISPARITIES WITHIN OUR FIELD AND
THREE WE NEED THIS IS. AN
INDUSTRY. THAT SUPPORTS ALL
OTHER WORK FOR SECTOR. EFFORT
NEVER NUMBER ONE THERE HAVE BEEN
ANOTHER OF WORK. REPORTS AND-
DIFFERENT WORKGROUP THAT HAVE
GONE BEFORE IT SOME OF THOSE
GROUPS HAVE SUED. THAT RATE
INCREASES THE ONE SINGLE ISSUE
THAT WILL MITIGATE THE LOS OF
STAFF WERE FEES NOW. SOME OF
THOSE WORK GROUPS INCLUDE
LIFTING CHILDREN THEIR FAMILIES
OUT OF POVERTY IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN. THE BLUE RIBBON
COMMISSION IN TWENTY NINETEEN
THE MASTER PLAN FOR EDUCATION IN
TWENTY TWENTY AND MOST RECENTLY.
THE RECALL THE WORKGROUP ALL OF
THESE WORK GROUPS COMBINED
RECOMMENDS THAT THERE IS AN
OVERWHELMING CONSENSUS AND
ASSISTING IN THE WORK FORCE. AND
THE NEED TO REFORM AND MOST OF
US ARE WOMEN AND WOMEN OF COLOR
THAT WORK IN THE FIELD INCLUDING
MYSELF AS A FORMER PRESCHOOL
TEACHER- WHO'S RECEIVING THIS
PAY. WHILE RAISING FIVE KIDS.
RECEIVING SUBSIDIES SUCH AS
CALFRESH AND MEDI CAL. ON TO
WORK IN THE INDUSTRY THAT I LOVE
SO DEARLY- RIGHT NOW WE KNOW
THAT MANY OF OUR WORK FORCE-
FOLKS ACCORDING TO THE U. S.
LABOR STATISTICS. ARE MAKING
ABOUT THIRTEEN TWENTY TWO- AS
AVERAGE MEDIAN THAT DOES NOT-
COVER AS YOU KNOW RENT HERE IN
CALIFORNIA FOR ANY OTHER BASIC
NEEDS SO. WHAT WE'RE ASKING. IS
THAT WE HELP- CALLS EITHER MAKE
SURE THAT WE CAN SERVE CHILDREN
IN CLASSROOMS THAT WE CONSIDER
GOING DARK. AND WHAT WE MEAN
DARK IS THAT WE HAVE THE
CLASSROOMS OF BUT WE DON'T
ACTUALLY HAVE THAT EDUCATORS. TO
FILL THOSE CLASSROOMS ASKED
SENATOR LIMON HAS SAID. SO I
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE YOU DON'T
GO OVER IN CLOSING WHAT WE'RE
ASKING. IS THAT THIS BILL AND BE
SUPPORTED SO THAT WE CAN- HAVE A
SINGLE RATE STRUCTURE SYSTEM AND
ASK FOR FEDERAL APPROVAL FOR
THAT SYSTEM- THE BILL ALSO CALLS
FOR SUSPENSION FAMILY FEES AND
WE DON'T WANT THE COST. TO BE
PROJECTED ONTO FAMILIES BY
TRYING TO RAISE OUR RATES FOR
THAT SOMETIME WHAT HAPPENED.
INCREASE DO YOU GIVE US BETTER
WAGES BUT THEN WE ASK THE.
PROVIDERS- WE ASK- FOR THE DO
THINK YOU'RE THAT. SO AGAIN AS A
FORM PRESCHOOL. AND MENTOR. THAT
SPEAK YOU TODAY WERE. PLEADING
THAT THEY TWENTY IS NOW OUR OUR
REALITY AND THAT WE PAY FOR
VARIOUS. HIGHLY AND- THE COMP
WORK SUCH AS THE MYSELF MANY OF
US HAVE THE EIGHT DEGREES
MASTERS. I AM BE YOU WITH A
DOCTORATE IN THIRTY TWENTY TWO
DIFFERENT ITSELF- I ASK- FOR
YOUR IDOLS THANK YOU. THANK YOU
. WHAT IS. GOOD MORNING
HONORABLE MEMBER. AND ON BEHALF
OF HEALTH. RESOURCE AND REFERRAL
NETWORK AND CHILD ACTION. MY
NAME IS HEIDI KYSER IN THE
PUBLIC POLICY OFFICER FOR TOLD
ACTION WE OPERATE SACRAMENTO
COUNTY'S CHILD CARE SUBSIDY AND
RESOURCE AND REFERRAL PROGRAMS.
WERE CURRENTLY SERVING OVER TEN
THOUSAND CHILDREN. AND FIVE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND NINETY
TWO FAMILIES RIGHT PROGRAMS OVER
34% OF THOSE FAMILIES WILL STOP
PAYING A FAMILY FEES THIS JULY.
ANOTHER EXPENSE ANOTHER FEEL
LIKE THIS WILL ALMOST CERTAINLY
LEAD TO MANY OF OUR FAMILIES
MAKING THE AGONIZING DECISION TO
TERMINATE THEIR ABSOLUTELY
ESSENTIAL HIGH QUALITY CHILD
CARE. JUST BECAUSE THEY DON'T
HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS REASON
AND OTHERS WE MUST TRANSITION TO
A- COST BASED REIMBURSEMENT RATE
. A SMALL CHILD CARE CENTER
OPERATE IN ONE OF SACRAMENTO
COUNTY'S HIGH RISK COMMUNITIES
OPEN RIGHT BEFORE THE PANDEMIC
AND CLOSED WITHIN A YEAR. VIÆT
CARE FOR MANY CHILDREN ON A
SUBSIDY PROGRAM TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF THE COMMUNITY. THEY
OFFERED NONTRADITIONAL OUR CARE
THE FINANCIALS JUST DON'T WORK
OUT. MANY OF US IN THIS BUILDING
HAVE FLEXIBLE HOURS OR AT LEAST
A FIX NINE TO FIVE WORK SCHEDULE
MANY OF ALL OF COME COME IN
FAMILIES. DO NOT HAVE SUCH
LUXURIES. IT BREAKS MY HEART TO
SEE CENTERS CLOSE DUE TO
ANTIQUATED REIMBURSEMENT SYSTEM.
FOR EARLY EDUCATORS PARENTS AND
HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS NEED
THIS CHANGE THESE CLOSURES OF
CHILDCARE CLASSROOMS LIMIT
OPTIONS FOR A FAMILIES WERE SEEN
CENTER DIRECTOR SEPARATE INTO
CLASSROOMS TO MEET RATIOS. JUST
BECAUSE THEY CAN'T FIND THE
STAFF THEY NEED OR THEY CAN'T
AFFORD TO HIRE STAFF.
UNFORTUNATELY MANY STAFF LEFT
AND GOT FURLOUGHED DURING THE
PANDEMIC THIS IS LED TO MANY
AMAZING TEACHERS LEAVING THEIR
DREAM JOBS OF EDUCATED ALL THE
LITTLEST LEARNERS JUST TO
SURVIVE. TO REDUCE COST MAY OF
OUR PROVIDER OF CUTS STAFF CLOSE
CLASSROOM AND STOP OFFERING FROM
. TO AND FROM SCHOOLS. THESE
IMPACT PARENTS ACCESS CARE. AND
IMPACT THEIR NEED. THE STAFF IN
ISSUES ALSO IN THE NUMBER OF
CHILDREN. AND EARLY CARE SETTING

THEY LOST SHOW TELL CONSENT.

AND WHENEVER YOU'RE READY. YES
MISTER CHAIR AND I WOULD LIKE TO
BEGIN BY THE AMENDMENTS THAT I
COMMITTED TO TAKE IN SENATE
ENERGY COMMITTEE AND THAT ARE
SUMMARIZED IN THE ANALYSIS.
SENATE BILL THREE NINETY FOUR
WILL REQUIRE THE CALIFORNIA
ENERGY COMMISSION TO COLLABORATE
WITH VARIOUS STATE AGENCIES IN
EDUCATION STAKEHOLDERS TO
DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR
HEALTHY SUSTAINABLE AND CLIMATE
RESILIENT SCHOOLS. CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS ARE SERVED BY OVER ONE
THOUSAND SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT
UTILIZE MORE THAN TEN THOUSAND.
SCHOOL FACILITIES COMPRISING OF
OVER ONE HUNDRED TWENTY FIVE
THOUSAND ACRES OF GROUND AND
SEVEN HUNDRED THIRTY MILLION
SQUARE FEET OF FACILITY SPACE
WOULD PRODUCE SUBSTANTIAL GHG
EMISSIONS INCOME TRIBUTE TO
OTHER ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS.
STUDENTS FACULTY AND STAFF TO
UTILIZE THESE FACILITIES EACH
DAY ARE INCREASINGLY- FACING THE
IMPACTS OF CLIMATE RELATED
THREATS LIKE EXTREME HEAT
FLOODING WILDFIRE SMOKE IN OTHER
IMPACTS. THAT CAN LEAD TO
LEARNING LOSS AND POOR ACADEMIC
OUTCOMES FOR CALIFORNIA HAS SOME
EXISTING PROGRAMS I HAVE TAKEN
PIECEMEAL STEPS TO BEGIN THIS
GENERATIONAL TRANSITION TO
CLIMATE RESILIENT FACILITIES.
THERE IS A LACK OF A UNIFIED
VISION AT THE STATE LEVEL AND A
DESPERATE NEED FOR A
COMPREHENSIVE ROADMAP AND MASTER
PLAN. IN MASTER PLAN ON CLIMATE
RESILIENT SCHOOLS WILL BETTER
POSITION CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS Ã
DISTRICTS TO LEVERAGE THE
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS AVAILABLE
UNDER THE RECENTLY PASSED
INFRASTRUCTURE INVESTMENT AND
JOBS ACT- AND INFLATION
REDUCTION ACT EXCUSE ME TO
MODERNIZE AND MAKE SCHOOL
FACILITIES AND BUSES MORE ENERGY
EFFICIENT. TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT
TODAY I HAVE DR MARIANNE TAMON

ASSISTANCE IF NEEDED I HAVE JOB

RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE
MISTER CHAIRMAN SB THREE NINETY
FOUR. THANK YOU- AND WELCOME TO
WOODS POLICE FOR STUDENT. BODY
YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. HELLO I'M
MARION TWO ONE SENICA COUNTY. OF
SCHOOLS I AM PLEASED TO SUPPORT
SENATE BILL THREE NINETY FOUR IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS.
CALIFORNIA LABOR FOR CLIMATE
JOBS GENERATION. AND TAUNTED K.
TWELVE AND MANY MANY OTHERS. MY
APPRECIATION TO SENATOR GONZALEZ
FOR BRINGING FORWARD THIS
IMPORTANT BILL. THAT WOULD
DEVELOP A MASTER PLAN FOR
CLIMATE RESILIENT SCHOOLS. HAS
CALIFORNIA EXPERIENCES A GROWING
NUMBER OF EXTREME WEATHER EVENTS
AND DISASTERS. THAT IMPACT
CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND DISRUPT
OUR LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS. K.
TWELVE SCHOOLS. MORE THAN A
HUNDRED AND TWENTY FIVE THOUSAND
ACRES OF CALIFORNIA LAND. AND
REQUIRE SIGNIFICANT ENERGY TO
OPERATE. CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS
UNFORTUNATELY HAVE NOT HAD THE
FINANCIAL AND STAFFING RESOURCES
TO ADOPT ENERGY EFFICIENT
TECHNOLOGY OR MOVE AWAY FROM A
RELIANCE ON CARBON EMITTING
ENERGY SOURCES. BY EDUCATING
PLANNING FOR AND IMPLEMENTING
CLIMATE RESILIENT SCHOOLS
CALIFORNIA COULD SUBSTANTIALLY
REDUCE GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
AND FOOD WASTE THAT'S GETTING US
CLOSER TO THE STATE'S GOAL OF
REDUCING EMISSIONS. 48% BY
TWENTY FORTY FIVE THIS BILL
WOULD REQUIRE THE STATE TO
CREATE A MASTER PLAN FOR CLIMATE
RESILIENT SCHOOLS WHICH WOULD
HELP ENSURE THAT SCHOOLS
FACILITIES FUNDING WHICH AMOUNTS
TO ABOUT SEVEN BILLION DOLLARS
ANNUALLY. IS ALIGNED WITH THE
STATE'S GREENHOUSE GAS EMISSIONS
REDUCTION TARGET. AND A MASTER
PLAN WOULD ALSO ESTABLISH A
FRAMEWORK FOR SCHOOLS AS THEY
IMPLEMENT ENVIRONMENTAL
EDUCATION AND CLIMATE ORIENTED
CURRICULUM AND CAREER PATHWAYS.
AND SEEK FOR FEDERAL
INFRASTRUCTURE GRANTS. AS A
CONTRIBUTING AUTHOR ON THE
CLIMATE RESILIENCE CALLS REPORT
I AM PLEASED TO SUPPORT SENATE
ABOUT THREE NINETY FIVE THREE
NINETY FOUR WHICH IS ALIGNED
WITH THE RESOURCE RESEARCH AND
RECOMMENDATIONS IN OUR REPORT.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
AND AUTHOR IN THIS BILL AND
COMMITMENT TO ADDRESSING CLIMATE
CHANGE. I URGE YOU ALL TO JOIN
ME IN MY COLLEAGUES AND SUPPORT
CAN WE ASK FOR YOUR IPHONE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THE NEXT
WITNESS. MY NAME IS DR LISA
PATEL I'M A CLINICAL ASSOCIATE
PROFESSOR OF PEDIATRICS AT
STANFORD ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENTIST
AND A MOM TO A CHILD OF SAN
FRANCISCO UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT. I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF
SB THREE NINETY FOUR TO
SAFEGUARD OUR CHILDREN'S HEALTH
IN A CHANGING CLIMATE. AT THE
HOSPITAL BASED PEDIATRICIAN WHO
CARES FOR PREMATURE INFANTS AND
CHILDREN WHILE NEWBORNS I'VE
BEEN ON THE FRONT LINES OF HOW
CLIMATE CHANGE IS AFFECTING OUR
CHILDREN'S HEALTH AND DOCTORS
UNDERSTAND THAT HOW CLIMATE
CHANGE WILL BE THE GREATEST
DETERMINANT OF HEALTH FOR CHILD
BORN TODAY. OUR SCHOOLS ARE
BUILT FOR A DIFFERENT CENTURY
AND IF WE DON'T ACT NOW TO
REPAIR OUR SCHOOL SYSTEMS IT
WILL THREATEN OUR CHILDREN'S
LIFETIME OF HEALTH AND LEARNING.
FOR EXAMPLE WORSENING HEAT WAVES
MAKE CLASSROOMS WITHOUT AIR
CONDITIONING TOO DANGEROUS FOR
CHILDREN LAST SEPTEMBER SCHOOLS
IN THE AREA HAD TO CLOSE EARLY
BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE H. FAX
SYSTEMS TO HANDLE THE HEAT. IN
THE HOSPITAL AND SEEING MORE
ATHLETES WITH HEAT STROKE THAT
CAN RESULT IN KIDNEY DAMAGE AND
SEVERE TICKET DEHYDRATION. AND
ON HOT DAYS IN THE HOSPITAL WE
SEE MORE KIDS TURNING UP WITH
ASTHMA FLARES. AND MORE
EXPECTANT MOTHERS AND PRETERM
LABOR. WE ALSO KNOW THAT HOT
DAYS RESULT IN POOR LEARNING
OUTCOMES WITH BLACK AND HISPANIC
CHILDREN EXPERIENCING A 5% GAP
IN STANDARDIZED TEST SCORES
COMPARED TO THEIR WHITE
COUNTERPARTS. DURING DUE TO THE
HEAT. THE EPA ESTIMATES THAT HE
DRIVEN BY CLIMATE CHANGE WILL
RESULT IN A 7% DECREASE IN
ANNUAL ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT PER
CHILD. THIS LOSS TRANSLATES TO
BILLIONS OF DOLLARS LOST
ANNUALLY FROM POOR RATES A
GRADUATION. POOR PAYING JOBS AND
THE INABILITY TO PROCURE HEALTH
INSURANCE. WILDFIRE SMOKE ALSO
THREATENS KIDS HEALTH AND
LEARNING. WILDFIRE SMOKE IS TEN
TIMES AS TOXIC AS REGULAR AIR
POLLUTION THAT WE BREATHE FROM
BURNING FOSSIL FUELS. AND MANY
OF OUR SCHOOLS ARE NOT EQUIPPED
WITH UPDATED OR EFFICIENT EIGHT
FIVE H. FAX SYSTEMS TO KEEP KIDS
SAFE. THE EPA ESTIMATED INCREASE
OF UP 211% OF ASTHMA CASES FROM
AIR POLLUTION DRIVEN BY CLIMATE
CHANGE. CHILDREN CALIFORNIA
ALREADY MISSED ONE POINT TWO
MILLION DAYS OF SCHOOL FROM
ASTHMA. AND WE PREDICT AN
INCREASE IN BOTH
HOSPITALIZATIONS AND WILDFIRE
SMOKE BY 50% BY TWENTY FIFTY. IT
SHOULD BE MISSION CRITICAL THAT
EVERY SCHOOL OFFER SAFE AIR FOR
A CHILD TO BREATHE. BUT THEY
CAN'T. GET THERE WITHOUT HELP.
THIS BILL CAN HELP LINE FEDERAL
STATE DOLLARS TO ENSURE USE OUR-
WISELY TO CREATE SAY HEALTHY.
FOR CHILDREN TO THRIVE. THANK

I HAD A QUESTION COMES FROM MY
COLLEAGUES HERE. SEARCH ABOVE
THANK YOU GREAT IDEA SO JUST A
COUPLE OF QUESTIONS HERE. ONE
IS- THE DATE SEEMS REALLY REALLY
CLOSE TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT HAS
THERE BEEN ANY CONCERNS OR
QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS OR
DISCUSSIONS WITH REGARD TO THE
IMPLEMENTATION IN THE STATE THE
CARD. COMPLETED BY I THANK YOU
INTO THE CHAIR- THANK YOU
SENATOR WE ACTUALLY PUSH THE
DATE BACK- WE AGREED AND- I
THINK ORIGINALLY WE HAD NOVEMBER
OF NEXT YEAR- TO COMMENCE BUT
WE'RE STARTING IN MARCH OF THE
FOLLOWING YEAR SO MARCH OF- I
THINK IT'S TWENTY TWENTY THAT IS
CORRECT SIR DID IT WOULD BE. A
START TO SAFEGUARD MEETINGS IN
MARCH TWENTY TWENTY FIVE OR ANY
TWENTY FOUR PROCESS EXACTLY
MARGINALIZED SINCE WHEN YOU HAVE
THINKING TO THIS YEAR'S TWENTY
FOUR. EXTERIOR NEED TWENTY FOUR
OKAY AND THAT WAS THAT WAS A
GOOD I WOULDN'T I'M NOT ALWAYS
AT THE DISCUSSION TABLES BUT I
JUST I'M ASSUMING THAT WAS THINK
WE UPON. GREETING AGREED UPON.
DATE WOULD WORK FOR EXACTLY WAS
AGREED AT WE TOOK THOSE AND
ENTER- IT WAS A LITTLE LATE SO
THIS IS WHY WE ARE. KEEPING TO
HERE IN AND TOUCH. I'M AND THEN-
I ALSO HAVE A CO WITH TO OCCUR
BY THE WESTERN IN CONTRACTORS IS
- THAT THEY DO NOT OPPOSE THE
MASTER PLAN PROPOSES
REQUIREMENTS AT THE BILL. THAT
MANDATE THE PLAN INCLUDES
RECOMMENDATIONS TO ENSURE THE
LOCAL EDUCATION AGENCIES HAVE
ACCESS TO SUFFICIENT TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE PROFESSIONAL LEARNING
AND TRAINING PROGRAMS. AND
PIPELINES OF SUSTAINABILITY AND
CLIMATE RESILIENCE PERSONNEL TO
IMPLEMENT THE DECARBONISATION
THIS IS THE LOCKS PARAGRAPH. AND
ADAPTATIONS PLANS THAT INCLUDE
HIGHER ROAD LABOR STANDARDS
PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS WITH
UNIONIZED WORKFORCES- AND THEN
IT GOES ON TO SAY WE COULD
BELIEVES PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENTS ARE DISCRIMINATORY
AND INCREASE THE COST
CONSTRUCTION HAS OF ANY
DISCUSSIONS ON THAT END. WE WANT
LABOR AT THE TABLE I THINK IF
WE'RE GOING TO GOING TO
DECARBONISE AND THIS IS WHY WE
HAVE A REALLY ROBUST- YOU KNOW
COALITION OF ENVIRONMENTALISTS
AND LABOR AT THE TABLE BECAUSE
WE SHOULD BE THINKING ABOUT THAT
THESE ARE STATE DOLLARS. FOR
TRYING TO LEVERAGE ABOUT SIX
BILLION DOLLARS FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AS WELL THEY SHOULD
BE- THEY NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE
THEM IN THE STAKEHOLDER GROUPS-
BUT WE SHOULD. THINK ABOUT A
PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS AS WELL
ON THIS DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT
THIS JUST RECOMMENDS THAT WE DO
LOOK AT THAT WHICH I THINK IS.
ABSOLUTELY WHAT WE SHOULD DO IN
THE THAT YOU KNOW IN THE NEXT
GREEN ECONOMY THAT WE ENVISION.
SHOULD HAVE- AT THE SKILLED
SKILLED BURKE SO I SO I'M JUST
GONNA PUT A PLUG IN I KNOW THIS
IS NOT WHERE WE DISCUSS IT BUT-
I BELIEVE THAT ALL NEIGHBORHOODS
FULL. CONTRACTORS SHOULD BE AT
THE TABLE NOT JUST EXCLUSIVELY
ONE SET OF. OF LABOR OR
CONSTRUCTION WORKERS OR WHATEVER
IT MAY BE I THINK. THEY SHOULD
BE OPENING. PIPELINES AT. WHAT
FORCES IN ALL CLASSES. BOTH EYES

LEARNING. NEW SPACE ME THAT I.
STRONGLY ENCOURAGE BECAUSE DO I
DO BELIEVE THE EVERYONE SHOULD
BE. EVERYONE SHOULD GET THE

THANK YOU- THIS. MEMBERS I AM
PRESENT AS. TO SIX. THIS BILL. A
REALLY A VERY SO CHORE OR- YOU
ME REBRANDED YOU WILL ONE. OF
THE- SYSTEM S. B. FOR TWO SIX
CHANGE TERM NOW CLASSROOM BASED
IN. TO FLEX SPACE TO. THE CHANGE
NOT AFFECT ANY EXISTING FOR TO
TERM THE- I'VE BROUGHT BILL FOR
IN CLARITY AND EDUCATION BEFORE
THIS YEAR I ACTUALLY ASSUME THAT
THE DESIGNATION NON CLASSROOM
BASED I TRULY MEANT STUDENTS WHO
WERE WHOLLY ONLINE AND THAT
SIMPLY IS NOT THE CASE. THE
REALITY IS THAT MANY STUDENTS
CAN BE IN THE CLASS IN A
CLASSROOM FACILITY THREE OR FOUR
DAYS A WEEK BUT STILL BE
CONSIDERED NON CLASSROOM BASED.
THIS DOESN'T SEEM ACCURATE TO ME
AND- NOR I THINK UNDERSTANDABLE
FOR POLICYMAKERS THE REALITY IS
THAT CALIFORNIA IN CALIFORNIA
ONLY 9% OF PUBLIC CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE EXCLUSIVELY ONLINE.
THE VAST MAJORITY TAKE PLACE IN
A VARIETY OF FLEXIBLE AND
INNOVATIVE INSTRUCTIONAL MODELS
IF THERE'S ONE THING THAT WE ALL
LEARNED DURING THE PANDEMIC IT'S
THAT FLEXIBILITY IS KEY WHETHER
IT BE IN THE WORKPLACE WITH
HEALTH HEALTH CARE OR WITH
EDUCATION. STUDENTS BENEFIT FROM
FLEXIBLE PERSONALIZED AND HYBRID
LEARNING DELIVERY METHODS THESE
FLEXIBLE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS
HAVE PROVEN TO BE EXTREMELY
BENEFICIAL FOR LOW INCOME
MINORITY SPECIAL NEEDS AND OTHER
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.
ESPECIALLY THOSE AT RISK OF
DROPPING OUT OR WHO ARE
ACCREDITED PROFICIENCY BASED
DESCRIBES WHAT THE SCHOOLS ARE
IN USING A POSITIVE TERM TO
ACCURATELY REFLECT THESE PUBLIC
CHARTER SCHOOLS IS PARAMOUNT IN
ENSURING ALL STUDENTS ARE
TREATED EQUALLY REGARDLESS OF
THE A TYPE OF PUBLIC. OR MODEL
THEY CHOOSE- WITH ME TODAY IS-

WELCOME TO THE FIRST WHAT IS
YOUR TWO MINUTES PLEASE. THANK
YOU CENTER DENIRO GOOD MORNING
MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS JEFF RICE
FOUNDER AND DIRECTOR OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF PERSONALIZED
LEARNING SCHOOLS AND SERVICES
WHICH IS A STATEWIDE ASSOCIATION
OF NINETY THREE PERSONALIZED
LEARNING PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS
SERVING MORE THAN NINETY
THOUSAND K. TWELVE PUBLIC SCHOOL
STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA. A LARGE
PERCENTAGE OF WHOM WERE
PREVIOUSLY DISADVANTAGED THE
PROBLEM WITH THE TERM NON
CLASSROOM BASED INSTRUCTION IS
THAT IT FALSELY IMPLIES THAT THE
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PUBLIC
SCHOOL STUDENTS IN THE SEGMENT
DO NOT RECEIVE ANY SITE BASED
INSTRUCTION THIS IS NOT AT ALL
ACCURATE AND HAS CAUSED
WIDESPREAD CONFUSION. AND
MISUNDERSTANDING THROUGH THE
YEARS AS SENATOR NI LOW
CORRECTLY STATED THE DIVIDING
LINE IN STATUTE BETWEEN
CLASSROOM BASED AND NON
CLASSROOM BASED INSTRUCTION IS
80% OF INSTRUCTION TIME AT A
SCHOOL SITE WHICH VERY FEW
PEOPLE UNDERSTAND. IN REALITY A
LARGE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS WHO
ATTEND NON CLASSROOM BASED
PUBLIC CHARTER SCHOOLS RECEIVE
SIGNIFICANT IN PERSON
INSTRUCTION AT A FISCAL SCHOOL
SITE. R. NINETY THREE MEMBER
SCHOOLS FOR EXAMPLE TOGETHER
OPERATE MORE THAN ONE HUNDRED
AND NINETY SCHOOL SITE
FACILITIES THROUGHOUT THE STATE
BUT AT LEAST TWO THIRDS OF THEIR
STUDENTS ATTEND. DEMONSTRATING
THAT THE TERM NON CLASSROOM BASS
WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE TAKEN
LITERALLY. BEYOND THE SCHOOL
SITE FACILITY THE STUDENTS
COMPLETE THEIR LEARNING
ASSIGNMENTS THROUGH A VARIETY OF
OTHER OPTIONS PROVIDING THEM
WITH A MUCH GREATER LEVEL OF
PERSONALIZED SUPPORT AND
FLEXIBILITY FROM WHICH THEY
BENEFIT. CHANGING THE TERM IN
STATUTE TO FLEX BASED
INSTRUCTION MORE ACCURATELY
DESCRIBES THE DISTINGUISHING
CHARACTERISTIC OF INSTRUCTIONAL
FLEXIBILITY THAT THESE TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND PUBLIC SCHOOL
STUDENTS RECEIVED. RECOGNIZING
THAT MANY TRADITIONALLY
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS HAVE MUCH
GREATER SUCCESS IN A MORE
FLEXIBLE AND PERSONALIZED
LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND
DESERVE TO BE TREATED EQUALLY.
SB FOUR TWENTY SIX SIMPLY
FOSTERS MORE CLARITY THAT THESE
TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND PUBLIC
SCHOOL STUDENTS ARE RECEIVING
GREATER INSTRUCTION X.
INSTRUCTIONAL FLEXIBILITY FOR
THEIR BENEFIT. NO LAWS OR
COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS OF THE
SCHOOLS ARE BEING CHANGED ON
BEHALF OF THESE MANY STUDENTS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE I URGE YOUR
AYE VOTE ON SB FOUR TWENTY SIX.
ON FOUR TWENTY SIX I WISH TO END
BY CLOSING BY THANKING SENATOR
NEALE- FOR AUTHORING SB FOUR
TWENTY SIX AND SENATORS ELDORADO
KILL THE CHOI BOGUE AND WILK FOR
SIGNING ON AS CO AUTHORS. THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME MISTER CHEN
THANK YOU MISTER ICE THANK YOU

HARD ACT OF MISTER CHAIRMAN

THOUSAND STUDENTS MORNING
CALIFORNIA. READ AND WHICH AND
STUDENTS FOR VARIOUS AT BACK.
LOW INCOME. AND WE PROVIDE A
FULL CAN OF SPECIAL EDUCATION
SERVICES. MANY OF OUR STUDENTS
COME. SCHOOLS TO BECAUSE THEY
ARE SEEKING FLEXIBILITY IN THEIR
EDUCATION. FOR THE STUDENT OR
THEIR FAMILY THIS IS A KEY
REASON WHY THE TERM NON
CLASSROOM BASED DOESN'T REALLY
MAKE SENSE BECAUSE THEY ARE
LOOKING FOR FLEXIBILITY. WE
ACTUALLY CONSIDER SCHOOLS TO BE
HYBRID MODELS. RIGHT CLASSROOM
ONLINE AND IN DIFFERENT STUDIES
. JUST LAST MONTH I HAD A
MEETING WITH THE MAYOR OF IN ONE
OF OUR COMMUNITIES THAT WE
SERVE. THE MEETING WAS HELD AT
ONE OF OUR RESOURCE CENTERS AND
SEE SO MANY OF OUR CLASSROOMS
DESPITE THE FACT THAT WE ARE
CALLED NON CLASHING BASED
CHARTER SCHOOLS. THIS TERM IS A
MISNOMER AND IT DOESN'T MAKE
SENSE BECAUSE OUR STUDENTS
ACTUALLY DO HAVE ACCESS TO
CLASSROOM BASED EDUCATION. DUE
TO THE CLASSROOM BASED LABEL WE
HAVE BEEN EXCLUDED FROM FUNDING
OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDING ALL
STATE FACILITIES SUBSEA
PROGRAMS. IS UNFAIR TO PUBLIC
SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO CHOOSE A
DIFFERENT PATH. A FLEXIBLE
LEARNING PATH FOR THAT MATTER.
WELL THIS BILL WON'T SOLVE THAT
IT WILL HELP ACTUALLY DEFINE
WHAT MY SCHOOLS OFFER. THE
CLOSING I SUPPORT SB FOUR TWENTY
SIX IT'S AN IMPORTANT FIRST STEP
TO BRING GREATER CLARITY. AND
UNDERSTAND POLICYMAKERS AND
DECISION MAKERS EXPECTED
ACTUALLY RIVAL. HE WAS WHITE-

MAKE OPTIONS WE HIS FIRST IS FOR
THE- CASH. STEVENS WHY. THANK
YOU I'M MORNING MR. OUT OF MANY
CASTING SEEN A HERE ON. OF THE
COW. SCHOOL PLAY ASSOCIATION AN
OPPOSITE TO SB TWENTY SIX. THIS
BILL WOULD REPLACE THE TERM
COSTA BASINS. WITH FLEXPAY
INSTRUCTION A CHANGE THAT WOULD
DO OP. NO TO SELL THE NEWMAN AND
WELL DONE. ISSUES WITH NON COSTS
ARE BASED HER SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA. TO PROVIDE SOME
CONTEXT THE LEGISLATURE
INSTITUTED A MORATORIUM ON THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW NON
CLASSROOM BASED CHARTER SCHOOLS
BACK IN TWENTY NINETEEN. THAT
MORATORIUM EXPIRES ON JANUARY
FIRST TWENTY TWENTY FIVE AND WAS
INSTITUTED AND PART TO GIVE THE
LEGISLATURE MORE TIME TO
CONSIDER SIGNIFICANT REFORMS IN
THE SPACE. AND SIGNIFICANT
REFORMS ARE NECESSARY TO PROTECT
STUDENTS. FROM HARM AND TO
PROTECT PROP NINETY EIGHT FUNDS
FROM UNSCRUPULOUS ACTORS THE
MOST FAMOUS EXAMPLE OF THIS OF
COURSE IS THE A. THREE CHARTER
SCHOOL NETWORK WHERE FROM TWENTY
SIXTEEN TO TWENTY NINETEEN.
EIGHTY THREE EDUCATION
EXECUTIVES FRAUDULENTLY
PURCHASED CHILDREN'S PERSONAL
INFORMATION AND ROLL THEM IN NON
CLASSROOM BASED CHARTER SCHOOLS
WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT. AND STOLE
ROUGHLY FOUR HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS FROM THE STATE. THERE IS
A CLEAR NEED FOR LEGISLATION IN
THE SPACE. SB FOUR TWENTY SIX
WITH ITS LONG LIST OF UNDEFINED
MODALITIES ONLY SERVED TO SOW
SOW MORE CONFUSION. THE
LEGISLATURE SHOULD NOT SEGMENT
OUR APPROACH TO NON CLASSROOM
BASED CHARTER EDUCATION REFORM.
INSTEAD WE SHOULD CAREFULLY
CONSIDER THE DATA INCLUDING
RESEARCH PUBLISHED BY STANFORD
CENTER- FOR RESEARCH ON
EDUCATION OUTCOMES IN TWENTY
FIFTEEN. STOP ONLINE CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE QUITE TO A STUDENT
LOSING SEVENTY TWO DAYS OF
LEARNING AND READING AND A
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAYS OF
LEARNING AND MATH BASED ON A
HUNDRED AND EIGHTY DAY SCHOOL
YEAR. ALL STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA
DESERVE A HIGH QUALITY EDUCATION
. AND TO ACHIEVE THIS WE NEED TO
TAKE SERIOUS STOPS TO ELIMINATE
FRAUD AND IT. OVER AND OF. FOR
THOSE REASONS WE RESPECT OPPOSE.
SB FOUR TO SIX AND- JOURNAL.
THANK YOU MISTER BRAMBLES. MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS BRUMBIES BEHALF
OF THE- TEACHERS AS- RESPECT IN
UPPER. TO FROM ABOUT FOUR TO SIX
WITH ONE OF THE CO SPONSORS OF
THE BILL A COUPLE YEARS AGO THAT
ESTABLISHED A MORATORIUM. ON NEW
NON CLASSROOM BASED CHARTER
SCHOOLS. AS MENTIONS TWO NOW
COMES WAS A CONCERN CERTAINLY A
THREE THERE ARE ALSO CASES AT
THAT TIME. OF IN SAN DIEGO MEDIA
MARKETS PARENTS USING HOME
SCHOOL- CHARTERS TO FOR EXAMPLE
PURCHASE FAMILY PASSES TO THE
SAN DIEGO ZOO AND OTHER
INAPPROPRIATE USES OF PUBLIC
FUNDS. ARE NOT MORE TIME IS
STILL IN PLACE THESE LOOPHOLES
HAVE BEEN IDENTIFIED NONE OF
THEM HAVE BEEN CLOSED AND THIS
BILL OPENS NEW LOOPHOLES. BY
ESSENTIALLY REDEFINING NON
CLASSROOM BASED CHARTER SCHOOLS
AS FACTS BASED CHARTER SCHOOLS
AND DESCRIBING IT WITH VERY.
VAGUE VOCABULARY SUCH AS
PERSONALIZED LEARNING. SUCH AS A
COLLEGE READY- I WOULD SUGGEST
THAT EVERY SCHOOL IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA WOULD. TRY AND
MEET THE NEEDS OF EVERY CHILD IN
COULD BE CALLED PERSONALIZED
LEARNING EVERY SCHOOL IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA TRIES TO
PREPARE KIDS FOR COLLEGE AND
COULD BE CALLED COLLEGE READY.
WHEN YOU PUT THESE BIG TURNS
INTO THE CODE YOU CREATE
PROBLEMS WITH TRYING TO REGULATE
THAT KIND OF MARKET AND WE DON'T
NEED NEW CONFUSION IN THIS AREA
OF LAW IN PARTICULAR AT THIS
TIME. WHAT WE NEED TO DO IS STOP
THE FIRE A FIRE THAT'S BURNING
THROUGH THE RESOURCES THAT OUR
STUDENTS NEED- ONLY BY
CONTAINING THAT FIRE CAN WE STOP
IT FROM GROWING AND CAUSING MORE
DESTRUCTION- THE LAW IS NOT
CLEAR ABOUT WHAT CONSTITUTES A
NON CLASSROOM BASED CHARTER
SCHOOL AT THIS TIME IF YOU'RE-
NOT DOING EIGHTY PERCENT. I MEAN
IF LESS THAN 80% OF YOUR
INSTRUCTION IS OCCURRING IN THE
CLASSROOM IN A CLASSROOM BASED
THE LAWS CLEAR ABOUT WHAT SOME
EXAMPLES THAT MIGHT BE IN A HOME
SCHOOL CHARTER INDEPENDENT STUDY
CHARTER. VIRTUAL CHARTER. THOSE
ARE ALL EXAMPLES OUTLINED. IN
THE CODE. BUT THE NAME OF AN-
IN. MODEL WHY THERE IS A MORE
IT'S- AND- IT IS AN ATTACK TO
AVOID NOTRE. IS LIKE CHANGING.
TO AVOID BEING FAR- WE WITH.
THAT THERE IS NOTHING IN THIS
BILL AND I WOULD ASK ANYONE ON
EITHER SIDE OF THE ISSUE IF THEY
CAN IDENTIFY ANYTHING IN THIS
BILL. THAT HELPS STUDENTS.
IMPROVE STUDENT LEARNING WE URGE
A NO VOTE. THANK YOU MR BRAMBLE

YOU MEANT BECAUSE INTO

SORRY I FEEL LIKE ANY DISNEY'S.
GO AHEAD. MY EYES ARE WATERING I
AM. SO M. I'D LIKE FOR YOU TO
HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO OR YOUR
WITNESS SAYS TO ADDRESS THE
CONCERNS THAT THE OPPOSITION HAD
WITH REGARDS TO THE
ACCOUNTABILITY- PORTION
SPECIALLY WITH THE FACT THAT-
THE ONE CASE OF THE NEFARIOUS
ACTORS AND TAKING ADVANTAGE OF
THE SYSTEM. AND UNFORTUNATELY
THAT'S THE HARDEST PART- WITHIN
ANY SPACE IS THE IS TRYING TO
DEAL WITH THOSE PEOPLE THAT-
WILL WORK THE SYSTEM. TO TO
VIEWS IT AND- IMPACT THOSE THAT
ARE ACTUALLY TRYING TO DO GOOD
WORK AND IT HOW DID
INDIVIDUALIZED- EDUCATIONAL.
FRAMEWORK FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE
UNIQUE AND AS FAR AS THE
PERFORMANCE- YOU KNOW AND I'M
NOT AN EXPERT BUT- IT IS MY
UNDERSTANDING THAT MANY CHARTER
SCHOOLS CATER TO STUDENTS THAT
NECESSARILY DON'T ARE NOT
SUCCESSFUL IN TRADITIONAL SCHOOL
SETTINGS AND THEREFORE THEY NEED
SOMETHING MORE PERSONALIZED MORE
UNIQUE- ADDED THAT ME. IN THE-
ACADEMIC- PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
FOR THOSE AND I'M NOT SURE HOW
CHARTER SCHOOLS WORK WITH
INDIVIDUALIZED- EDUCATIONAL
PLANS ON THAT FRONT BUT I DO
WANT TO GIVE YOU AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ADDRESS THE ACCOUNTABILITY
PART IN THOSE NEFARIOUS ACTORS
WITHIN THAT SYSTEM AND HOW THAT
WOULD. HOW THAT WOULD BE
IMPACTED BY. BY YOUR BILL. FIVE
THANK YOU FOR THAT- CENTER OCHO
VOGUE- WELL I APPRECIATE BY THE
WAY THE- AUTOMOBILE OF METAPHOR
OF THE UP OPPOSITION STATEMENTS-
AND THEIR- THE POINTS THAT
THEY'RE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE BUT
ALL DUE RESPECT. IT WAS KIND OF
A NON SEQUITUR HI. AGAIN ALL DUE
RESPECT I THINK THEY'RE MISSING
THE POINT- FLEXIBILITY- TRULY
IS- THE ANSWER TO A LOT OF
EDUCATIONAL CHALLENGES
PARTICULARLY WITH- PEOPLE FROM
DISADVANTAGED AREAS AND PEOPLE
AT RISK OF- DROPPING OUT OF
SCHOOL OR- MISSING CREDITS. BUT
TRUMP THIS BILL IS NOT. A REFORM
PER SE IT'S SORT OF A TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING MEASURE BY WE
BELIEVE THAT WERE CORRECTING A
MISNOMER AND THE WAY THESE-
SCHOOLS ARE ARE- MARKETED IF YOU
WILL DESCRIBE IT TO THE PUBLIC.
BUT TO SAY THAT SCHOOLS THAT
HAVE A MAJORITY OF THEIR TIME IN
CLASS FROM OUR NON CLASSROOMS
SCHOOLS JUST FRANKLY DOESN'T
MAKE SENSE. AND THIS HAS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WHATSOEVER TO
DO WITH THE SITUATION WITH A
THREE EDUCATION OF THAT WAS
FRAUDULENT ACTIVITY THAT WILL BE
DEALT WITH COMPLETELY SEPARATELY
CERTAINLY NOT IN THIS BILL AND-
ALL OF US THAT ARE SUPPORTING
THIS BILL WILL GO ON RECORD IN
SAYING THAT THAT WAS WRONG AND-
ANY OF THOSE LOOPHOLES NEED TO
BE CORRECTED. BUT THIS DOESN'T
CREATE. LOOPHOLES AGAIN IT'S NOT
A MAJOR CHANGE IN- THE CHARTER
CHARTER IF YOU WILL- IT IS
CORRECTING A MISNOMER AND
DESCRIPTION- AND IS AS I SAID I
THINK REALLY SORT OF A TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING A MEASURE- DIED ASK-
MISTER RICE TO- ADDRESS ANY
OTHER TECHNICAL ISSUES THAT TO
YOUR QUESTION REYES. THANK YOU
SENATOR NEW LOW. FIRST FOR THE
RECORD WE ABSOLUTELY CONCUR THAT
MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE TO
PROVIDE SOLUTIONS THAT LEAD TO
THE PROLIFERATION OF BAD ACTORS
IN THIS SEGMENT. AS AN
ASSOCIATION THAT IS WHOLLY
DEDICATED TO HIGH STANDARDS OF
INTEGRITY ACCOUNTABILITY AND
ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE WHEN WE
WITNESSED FIRST HAND- THE BAD
ACTOR ORGANIZATIONS ENTER THE
SEGMENT IT WAS HEART WRENCHING
TO US. TO HAVE NO POWER
WHATSOEVER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT
GETTING RID OF THOSE BAD ACTORS
. THE POWER TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT
THAT- IT WAS. THE RESPONSIBILITY
OF AUDITORS AND AUTHORIZERS AND
THEY DID NOTHING FOR MANY MANY
YEARS ALLOWING THESE
ORGANIZATIONS TO PROLIFERATE
INTO CANCERS. SO WE AGREE THAT
MORE WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE
HOWEVER. THE EVEN THE- THOSE
OPPOSED TO THIS BILL. ASSERTED
THAT WE WERE ALL ONLINE SCHOOLS
AND IN FACT THEY CITED A STUDY
THAT WAS FROM TWO THOUSAND
FIFTEEN THAT CREDO DID THERE WAS
A NATIONAL STUDY. ALL ON ONLINE
SCHOOLS ONLY. SO THAT STUDY DID
NOT ACCURATELY REFLECT THE
ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE OF THE FLEX
BASED CHARTER SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA BECAUSE IT WAS AN
ONLINE ONLY STUDY IN SIX INTENT
AND THAT STUDY NOW IS TEN YEARS
OLD. SO IT DOESN'T EVEN
ACCURATELY ACCURATELY REFLECT
THE PROGRESS MADE NOT ONLY AN
ONLINE SCHOOLS IN THE PAST TEN
YEARS BUT ALSO IN THE HYBRID
FLEXPAY SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA I
SPOKE DIRECTLY WITH THE AUTHOR
OF THAT STUDY WHO SAID YES IT
WAS ONLINE SCHOOLS ONLY. AND
NATIONALLY ONLINE SCHOOLS IN
OTHER STATES DON'T PERFORM AS
WELL AS ONLINE SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA SO IT WASN'T EVEN AN
ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF THE
9% OF ONLINE ONLY CHARTER
SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA. BUT THAT
ARE IN THIS SEGMENT ANOTHER
IMPORTANT FACT I'D LIKE TO POINT
OUT IS THAT ONE OF THE REASONS
WERE ASKING FOR YOUR AYE VOTE ON
THIS BILL. IS BECAUSE WE DID
EXPERIENCE A BILL THAT WAS
INTRODUCED TWO YEARS AGO WITH SO
CALLED REFORMS IN IN THIS
SEGMENT HOWEVER THE BILL
ASSERTED THAT ALL THREE HUNDRED
AND TEN NON CLASSROOM BASED
CHARTER SCHOOLS WERE ONLINE
ONLY. AND CITED THAT STUDY AND
PROPOSED SOLUTIONS THAT WOULD
HAVE CUT FUNDING FOR STUDENTS
BACK IN THE CLASSROOM LIMITED
ENROLLMENT AND DONE A LOT OF
THINGS UNDER THE PRESUMPTION
THAT NON CLASSROOM BASED EQUATED
ONLINE ONLY WE SEE THIS AS A TWO
STEP PROCESS. LET'S FIRST BRING
GREATER CLARITY. TO THE SPHERE
OF DECISION MAKERS AND LAWMAKERS
TO BETTER UNDERSTAND THAT NON
CLASSROOM BASED DOES NOT MEAN
ONLINE ONLY FLEX BASED IS A MORE
ACCURATE TERM TO DESCRIBE THE
DISTINGUISHING CHARACTERISTIC OF
WHAT BRINGS ALL OF THE SCHOOLS
AND ALL OF THE STUDENTS TOGETHER
IN THIS SEGMENT. THEY RECEIVED
GREATER FLEXIBILITY FOR THEIR
BENEFIT WE WILL THEN THANK AND
IN A CLIMATE OF CONFUSION AND MR
YOU'RE STANDING AND- MISS
CHARACTER. OF THAT TERM NON
CLASSROOM BASED INSTRUCTION IT
IS VERY DIFFICULT TO CREATE
EFFECTIVE TARGETED SOLUTIONS
THAT WILL ELIMINATE THOSE
LOOPHOLES WE SEE THIS AS A TWO
STEP PROCESS NUMBER ONE LET'S
CHANGE THE TERM TO REFLECT. WHO
THE SCHOOLS ARE AND HOW THEY
OPERATE MORE ACCURATELY NUMBER
TWO WILL BE HAPPY TO COME BACK
AND ENGAGE IN DISCUSSIONS AS TO
HOW TO CREATE EFFECTIVE
SOLUTIONS TO CLOSE THOSE
LOOPHOLES TO PREVENT THOSE BAD
ACTORS FROM. ENTERING THE SPHERE
IN THE FUTURE. I APPRECIATE THAT
OUR TEAM IS RIGHT SAID MISTER
BREMER KNOW THAT YOU WANT TO WAY
AND- AND ARE WELCOME TO DO THAT
. THANK YOU OWN- THE QUEST ABOUT
HER WAS OF WHAT THE HELL OKAY
ABILITY IMPACT BY THE BILL TO
BECAUSE THERE IS. ACCOUNTABILITY
IN THE BILL WHATSOEVER THERE'S
BEEN SOME CONVERSATIONS ABOUT
THIS BEING A MISNOMER ABOUT IT
MISS NAMING THIS TYPE OF
INSTRUCTION. THIS TYPE OF I MEAN
WE HAVE A POLICY PREFERENCE IN
THE LAW WE HAVE A POLICY
PREFERENCE TOWARDS IN CLASS
INSTRUCTION BECAUSE MOST KIDS
MOST KIDS I'M NOT SAYING THAT A
NON CLASSROOM BASED ENVIRONMENT
IS NOT. YOU KNOW GOOD FOR SOME
CHILDREN BUT MOST KIDS REQUIRE
THAT KIND OF KID INTERACTION
LIVING ADULTS AROUND YOU KNOW.
WHO CAN. CREATE THAT KIND OF
INTERACTION THAT'S NEEDED SO IN
MOST CASES WE HAVE A PRESENT FOR
IN CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION WE SAW
THAT DURING THE PANDEMIC. AS WE
WERE URGENTLY TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW WE COULD BRING BACK. IN
PERSON INSTRUCTION SO IT'S JUST
IN LETTING PARENTS KNOW AND THE
PUBLIC KNOW THAT A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF YOUR INSTRUCTION AT
THIS CHARTER SCHOOL IS NOT GOING
TO BE IN THE CLASSROOM- TWENTY
PERCENT. AT LEAST IT COULD BE
MORE BUT THE BASIC NOT FORGET
AMOUNT OF TIME THAT'S NOT IN THE
CLASSROOM AND THEN THEY GO TO
FUNDING DETERMINATION TO THE
STATE. BECAUSE IN THE STATE
LOOKS AT LIKE YOU KNOW SHOULD
YOU BE 100% FUNDED DO YOU HAVE A
SCHOOL BUS DO YOU HAVE A
CAFETERIA. THAT'S NOT ALWAYS THE
CASE IN THE CLASSROOM BASED
INSTRUCTION ESPECIALLY WHEN
WE'RE TALKING MAYBE NOT
NECESSARILY ABOUT THE TYPES OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT MR RICE WAS
TALKING ABOUT. BUT YOU ALSO HAVE
A HOME SCHOOL CHARTERS YOU ALSO
HAVE INDEPENDENT STUDY CHARTERS
JOB TOTALLY 100% VIRTUAL
CHARTERS AND SOME OF THOSE FOLKS
DON'T NEED THE SAME LEVEL OF
FUNDING IF THEY DON'T HAVE THE
SAME LEVEL OF FACILITY. SO I
DON'T THINK IT'S A MISNOMER I
THINK IT'S REALLY A POLICY
PREFERENCE. TOWARDS CLASSROOM
BASED INSTRUCTION. AND IT MAKES
IT VERY CLEAR THAT A LARGE
PORTION OF THE INSTRUCTION IS
NOT OCCURRING IN THE CLASSROOM.
THANK YOU- ONE. OF THE SENATE.
POETRY CLOSE. WELL I JUST SAY-
ALL DAY RESPECT. I THEY'RE MISS
THE- THIS IS MERELY. CORRECT A
MISSED- AND- THE OPPOSITION
KEEPS. GOING BACK TO THE PHRASE
NON CLASSROOM BASED. WHEN WE
HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE. KIDS ARE
IN THE CLASSROOM THREE FOUR DAYS
A WEEK AND THAT'S STILL CALLED
NON CLASSROOM BASED. IF A PARENT
IS LOOKING TO- EDUCATIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR
CHILDREN- AND THEY SEE A- A
GROUP OF SCHOOLS THAT ARE
CALLED. NON CLASSROOM BASED. AND
THEY DON'T. PARTICULARLY WANT AN
ONLINE. SITUATION THEY WANT A
CLASSROOM SITUATION- IT
MISREPRESENTS IT TO THEM SO I
THINK AS WELL THAT'S WHY I SAY
THIS IS- SORT OF A TRUTH IN
ADVERTISING THANK ACCURATELY
REFLECTS HOW THESE INSTITUTIONS-
CONDUCT THEIR MODEL. AND THERE
ARE GREAT SUCCESSES IN THIS
SPACE AND AGAIN IT HAS
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING TO DO WITH
THE FRAUD THAT WAS DISCOVERED A
FEW YEARS AGO- WITH THAT I WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL NINETEEN
SO. LET'S LET ME QUICKLY- JUST
KIND OF WEIGH IN ON THIS SHOW IS
SO I AGREE PART OF YOUR MUCH BUT
I ALSO BY ABOUT. WE'RE COMING
FOR YOU KNOW BUT THE BROADER.
THE NEED FOR CLARITY IT RELATES
DIFFERENT CLASSES OF SURE SCHOOL
THE- MANY SOCIAL I ALL AGREE
THAT NOT BECAUSE BASED PROBABLY
DOESN'T IT BUT I PUT HIM ON THIS
BUT FLOW. WITHOUT ANY IN YOUR
BILL IS GOING TO REFER TO RE SO
PLACES ARE FAIRLY CHEN WORD-
THAT'S USED TO CONTINUALLY AND
MARK- IT'S- NOT SURE THAT THAT
IS. SOLVING FOR THE PROBLEM
RIGHT WHICH TO YOUR POINT ABOUT
YOU KNOW WHAT TO A BETTER. HERE
TO- TO. CLEARLY TO A CLASS OF
SCHOOL RIVER TYPE OF IN. THAT IS
NOT TRADITIONAL BASED THAT'S-
YOU KNOW CAR COMPANIES TO GET
PAID LOTS OF TO COME WE'RE NAY
SO ANOTHER AUTO. WHEN I TO THIS
THAT'S RIGHT IT I DO IT SO BUT I
DO I DO THE TERMINALS MATTERS
AND ENTER WITH RESPECT TO THE-
IT YOU KNOW IN THIS SPHERE-
BECAUSE IT IT POINTS BEING BOTH
THREE SPEED- BUT ALSO IN MANY
WAYS VERY TECH- ANSWER SO I AM

DENIM DAY NICE JEANS.
SO SB FOUR EIGHTY SIX TO CREATE
A- AUTHORIZATION FOR PILOT
PROGRAM AND I HAVE TO.
COMPLEMENT YOUR STAFF FIVE WE'VE
HAD MANY MANY CONVERSATIONS.
ABOUT THIS BILL AND WE ARE
ACCEPTING THE TECHNICAL
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS OUTLINED IN
THE ANALYSIS SO THANK YOU- THE
GENESIS OF THE GENESIS OF THIS
STARTED WHEN I WAS IN KOREA
SEVERAL YEARS AGO VISITING HIGH
SCHOOLS AND- AS WE ALL TALK
ABOUT. HOW WE PREPARE STUDENTS
FOR YOU KNOW THE TECH WORLD THE
NEW MIDDLE CLASS JOBS- INCREASE
THEY DO A UNIQUE THING WHERE
THEY CALL A NEW COLLAR JOBS-
TECH CAREERS THAT DON'T REQUIRE
A FOUR YEAR DEGREE BUT REQUIRE
CERTAIN LEVEL OF TECHNICAL
EXPERTISE IN ORDER TO. PERFORM
THE DUTIES OF THOSE PARTICULAR
COMPANIES AND SO THEY PARTNER
DIRECTLY WITH THEIR HIGH SCHOOLS
WHERE YOU GO TO HIGH SCHOOL
MONDAY TUESDAY WEDNESDAY AND
THEN YOU WORK IN THAT. FIELD
THURSDAY AND FRIDAY FOR YOUR
SENIOR YEAR WHEN YOU GRADUATE.
YOU ARE TRAINED AND YOU GO RIGHT
INTO A INTO A MIDDLE CLASS JOB
UNTIL THEY'RE CALLING ON NEW
COLLAR JOBS INTO WHAT WE WANT TO
DO IS AUTHORIZE THIS TYPE OF
MODEL ON A PILOT. BASIS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA IN THAT WITH THIS
BILL DOES WE REALIZE THAT THERE
ARE SOME REGULATIONS THAT ARE
GOING TO NEED TO BE DRAFTED
WHICH IS WHAT THE TECHNICAL
AMENDMENTS CALLED FOR. AND THAT
ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T PENALIZE
A STUDENT WHO DECIDES TO DO THIS
ROUTE BUT THEN LATER WANTS TO GO
ON TO A FOUR YEAR DEGREE. WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE
THE ABILITY TO DO THAT AND SO
WE'RE LOOKING AT A VERY NARROW
SMALL PILOT JUST TO LET THIS.
LET SCHOOLS AND- TECH WORLD
WORK. COLLECTIVELY AND
COLLABORATIVE LEADERS TO CREATE
A CAREER PIPELINE SO. THAT'S
WHAT THE BILL DOES AND- WOULD
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE. AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
MARIANNE IN DO YOU HAVE ANY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. I DON'T
BELIEVE WE DO OKAY- I'M RIDING
SOLO RUN SOLO WITH. FIFTEEN WITH
. WITH A DRIVING IDEA. GUY
ANYTHING NEED THE PERSON. THE
ROOM LIKE TO FLIGHTS. OF THE
MEASURE- IF ANYBODY LIKE TO SEE.
UP AS- TO THE- IS ANYBODY ON THE
- JUST. LIKE THIS. IN OPPOSITION
TO REST PORT OF. A CENTER
PORTENT TINO'S BEFORE. EIGHTY
THANK YOU THIS CHAIR IT YOU
AREN'T. OR A- TO S. FOR EIGHTY.
LEAST ONE FOLLOWED BY GENERAL
FUND FALL BY. THIS TIME. AND TO
ALIGN ONE OUTER AND FIFTY YOU
ARE ALL. GOOD MORNING YOU HEAR

THE BILL FIGURESFIGURE IDEA AND
I SAID BECAUSE DEFINITELY GO.
WELL THEY WERE FOR THIS FILM
THANK YOU THANK YOU SERENA THANK
YOU FOR THANK YOU VERY MUCH. OF
THIS. OR TO. PUT THAT INTO YOUR
COLLIE ISRAEL'S ON THE TELECOM
NAIDU LIKE TO. WITH TO S. BEFORE
EIGHTY OR OR OR SAILOR TO CENTER
. FOR
I'M KIND OF CURIOUS HOW IS THIS
DIFFERENT THAN OUR CURRENT R. O.
P. PROGRAMS THAT ARE. IN PLACE-
THROUGHOUT THE CITY INCLUDING MY
AREA- CONVENE MEETINGS WITH THE
LOCAL INDUSTRIES- IN THE REGION
AND THEY SEE WHAT WHAT WORKERS
THEY NEED. TO BE TRAINED SO THAT
THEY CAN MEET THAT WORKFORCE IN
THE LOCAL AREA SO HOW WOULD YOU
EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN
YOU KNOW TECHNICAL SCHOOLS IN
OUR OF P. SCHOOLS- AND EVEN SOME
I GUESS CONTINUATION SCHOOLS
WITH. EMPHASIS THAT PIPELINE SO
IT WITH THIS IT'S A SIMILAR BUT
IT WHAT WE'RE LOOKING AT IS
LOOKING AT IT SORE TRADITIONAL
FOUR YEAR HIGH SCHOOL ALLOWING A
BUSINESS IN THAT AREA TECH
BUSINESS IN THAT AREA TO BE
DIRECTLY PARTNER WITH THEM AND
SO YOU WOULD GO TO CLASS MONDAY
TUESDAY WEDNESDAY YOU'D GO TO
WORK THURSDAY FRIDAY. BUT YOU
WOULDN'T BE PENALIZED AND YOU
WOULD COULD GET ACADEMIC BENEFIT
FROM BEING IN THAT SETTING SHE
STILL WOULD HAVE THE
PREREQUISITES TO GET YOUR HIGH
SCHOOL DIPLOMA BUT WE YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE TO GO THROUGH A
THREE G. IF YOU. TWO YEARS LATER
DECIDED YOU WANT TO GO TO A FOUR
YEAR UNIVERSITY SO IT'S SIMILAR.
BUT THIS IS SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT
IN THAT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT AN R.
O. P. PROGRAM IT'S NOT A CAREER
TECHNICAL PROGRAM IT'S A
PARTNERSHIP- THAT SOME SCHOOLS
ARE ARE. DOING IT BUT THE SORT
OF FORMALIZES IT BUT ALSO CREATE
SAFEGUARDS FOR THE STUDENTS AND-
SO THAT THROUGH TWO DAYS IN THE
WORK FORCE GOES TOWARDS YOUR
GRASS YOUR GRADUATION
ELIGIBILITY SO WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU GET A HIGH SCHOOL
DIPLOMA WE ALSO WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOU HAVE MAXIMUM
FLEXIBILITY AND THAT'S WHERE.
WRITING THE REGULATIONS IN THE
AUTHORIZATIONS TO MAKE SURE WE
PROTECT THE STUDENTS WITH
SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT BUT VERY
SIMILAR. OKAY AND I'M ASSUMING
THAT'S ALSO VERY SIMILAR TO
THOSE ACADEMIC PATHWAYS THAT
THEY HAVE THE WORKFORCE PROGRAMS
THEY CURRENTLY HAVE IN PLACE
YEAH VERY SIMILAR OKAY BECAUSE-
I KNOW I'VE SEEN THOSE AS WELL
IN MY DISTRICT AND- I IS THIS.
AND I NAME FOR. SOMETHING
SIMILAR TO IT RIGHT JUST. FOUR

THROUGH THE ACADEMIC YEAR. A
MONTH ON A MONTH OFF AND SO.
WE'RE NOT PICKING ONE OR THE
OTHER WE'RE JUST TRYING TO SAY
THAT THIS IS WORKING IN KOREA.
FOR NEW COLLAR JOBS AND LET'S
SEE WHAT WE CAN DO HERE IN THE
U. S. AND TO THE EXTENT THAT WE
KNOW WHAT WE'RE GOING TO ADD A
TEN YEAR SUNSET IF WE HAD.

RUBIO IS HE- NICE TO. USE AND
YOU WILL BE PRESENTING SPEAK.
SEVEN SIXTY SO. AND YOU MAY
PROCEED WERE YOU'RE READY. GOOD
MORNING HOW THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR MEMBER OF THAT CAN I THINK
PUT OUT TO AS SEVEN SIXTY SEVEN
WHICH IS A PIECE OF LETTUCE THAT
WILL ENSURE THAT SHOW RECEIVE
CREDIT AND IN THE- YEARS YEARS.
OF LEARNING THIS THIS WILL REACH
US TO COMPETE WHEN YOU'RE CANDOR
BEFORE INTO THE FIRST GRADE AS
AN EDUCATOR FOR NEARLY TWENTY
YEARS IN ELEMENTARY I HAVE
PERSONALLY WITNESSED HOW EARLY
EDUCATION HAS A POSITIVE IMPACT
ON A CHILD NOT ONLY THERE'S
THEIR ACADEMICS AS SUCCESS BUT
JUST OVERALL. WELL BEING OF THE
CHILD YOU CAN INSTANTLY
DISTINGUISH THOSE STUDENTS WHO
DID NOT BENEFIT FROM EARLY
EDUCATION ALMOST IMMEDIATELY
WITHIN THE FIRST FIVE MINUTES OF
HAVING THEM IN YOUR CLASSROOM.
HI WHEN I WAS IN A FIRST GRADE
CLASSROOM EASILY YOU CAN SEE
WHEN A CHILD HOLDING A BOOK
UPSIDE DOWN THERE HOLDING A
PENCIL NOT KNOWING WHAT IT IS
AND THEY'RE PLAYING WITH ALL THE
MATERIALS WE GIVE I'M- RETAINING
TO BE CARS AND TOYS AND IT'S
VERY CLEAR THAT THOSE THAT HAVE
CANDOR EXPERIENCE. COME IN
WRITING FULL SENTENCES.
UNDERSTANDING OF BUCK- TALKING
ABOUT SCIENCE PROJECTS SO THE
LEARNING GAP JUST AND THE
DISPARITY GROWS EXPONENTIALLY IF
WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH RESOURCES
TO SUPPORT THE CHILD WHEN THEY
COME IN FIRST GRADE. AND THEY'VE
MISSED AN ENTIRE YEAR OF
KINDERGARTEN. STUDENTS WHO DO
NOT ATTEND KINDERGARTENS ARE
ALSO HAVE VERY DIFFICULT TIMES
AND OTHER AREAS YOU CAN SEE IT
IN THEIR CONFIDENCE
PARTICIPATING IN THE CLASSROOM.
EVEN OUTSIDE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW
TO INTERACT WITH OTHER CHILDREN
AND IT TAKES HIM A LITTLE WHILE.
TO GET THERE BUT IT DOES IMPACT
THEIR OVERALL. ACADEMIC SUCCESS
. A STUDENTS WHO NOT AT CAN.
ALSO PUT A LOT MORE. ON THEIR
PARENTS AND TEACHERS AS OP
PARENTS ARE HAVING TO FIGURE OUT
HOW TO TEACH THEM AT HOME AND
YOU KNOW WITH A COMMENT QUITE
STANDERS CHANGING THE WAY WE DO
THINGS IT'S ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE
FOR. A PARENT TO KNOW HOW TO
TEACH THEIR CHILD I IN AND OF
COURSE WE HAVE OUR TEACHERS THAT
ARE STRUGGLING TREMENDOUSLY. THE
WORK LOAD CONTINUES TO INCREASE
ON A DAILY BASIS WEEKLY MONTHLY
BASIS AND- AS WE KNOW WITH THE
PANDEMIC THE LEARNING LOSS HAS
BEEN. DOES STOP. INCREDIBLY
DIFFICULT FOR TEACHERS WHO HAVE
TO NAVIGATE. REMOTE LEARNING AND
NOW IN THE CLASSROOM AND SO THIS
IS A BILL THAT REALLY WILL
SUPPORT NOT ONLY OUR STUDENTS
BUT OUR TEACHERS. AND THE
PARENTS AT HOME. I THE PANDEMIC
GOD LED TO A RECORD WHEN YOU'RE
ENROLLMENT DROP OF A HUNDRED AND
FIFTY FIVE. THOUSAND STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA K. THROUGH TWELVE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS- THIS JOB WAS
EVEN MORE PREVALENT IN
KINDERGARTEN. IN THE TWENTY
TWENTY TWENTY ONE ACADEMIC YEAR
KINDERGARTEN ENROLLMENT HAS
DROPPED BY 14% AND LOS ANGELES
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. THAT
DECLINE IS SIXTEEN I'M SORRY SIX
THOUSAND STUDENTS. SO THAT SIX
THOUSAND STUDENTS IN CANDOR
ESPECIALLY IN THE SCHOOL SYSTEMS
LOWEST INCOME NEIGHBORHOODS THIS
DECLINE IS ABOUT THREE TIMES AS
LARGE AS- IN RECENT YEARS AND SO
I WANT TO CONSIDER THAT. THE
STUDENTS THAT- ARE HARMED THE
MOST BY NOT ATTENDING CANDOR ARE
THESE LOW PERFORMING
NEIGHBORHOODS OF CHILDREN OF
COLOR. LATINOS BLACK CHILDREN
AND SO WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ENCOURAGE THEM TO BE IN
SCHOOL EARLIER BECAUSE WE KNOW
THEY HAVE A HARDER TIME LATER IN
LATER YEARS. FURTHER MORE
RESEARCH DEMONSTRATES THAT
CHILDREN EXPOSED TO KINDERGARTEN
MANDATES ARE MORE LIKELY TO GO
TO COLLEGE. EARN A HIGHER.
INCOME AS WELL AS- MORE LIKELY
TO BE MORE PRODUCTIVE CITIZENS
OF SOCIETY. AS I STATED THESE
IMPACTS ARE LARGER. LARGER IN
BLACK AND HIS BANIK YEP CHILDREN
. AND WE NEED TO DO WHAT WE TO
CLOSE AND- GAP GIVEN THAT
DESTROY. OFF ARE AT HOME ALONE
SOMETIME. THEY GO HOME TO TUNE
AND NANNIES OR NEIGHBORS OR
FRIENDS- THEY NEED TO BE
PREPARED AND SCHOOL AND KENDRA
IS GONNA GIVE ON THAT ABILITY.
FIVE SO ONCE AGAIN WE ASK THAT
YOU SUPPORT THIS BILL AND I WANT
TO JUST HIGHLIGHT SOMETHING
THAT'S VERY IMPORTANT. THIS BILL
DOES NOT CREATE A BRAND NEW
GRADE LEVEL AND ALL STUDENTS
ALREADY ATTEND KINDERGARTEN SO I
KNOW THAT FINANCING HAS BEEN
TOUTED AS ONE OF THE CONCERNS
BUT REALLY WE'RE JUST TRYING TO
CAPTURE A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF
STUDENTS THAT STAY HOME. WELL WE
DON'T- SAY THAT CAN- IS
IMPORTANT BY NOT MAKING IT
MANDATORY SOME PARENTS JUST.
KEEP I'M AT HOME I CAN TELL YOU
COMING FROM OUT LATINO HOUSEHOLD
WE VALUE WHAT A SCHOOL TELLS US
AND OF A SCHOOL DOESN'T SAY
CANDOR IS MANDATORY OR
IMPORTANT. THEY KEEP THEIR
CHILDREN AT HOME NOT BECAUSE
THEY DON'T CARE TO CINEMA SCHOOL
THEY JUST DON'T THINK IT'S THAT
IMPORTANT SO WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE THAT ALL HOUSEHOLDS PARENTS
KNOW THAT IT'S IMPORTANT IT'S
CRITICAL. BOB BY WAY OF EXAMPLE
I KNOW THAT SOME OF US IN OUR
GENERATION PERHAPS GREW UP
HAVING CANDOR BE MORE OF A NAP
TIME AND CRAFTS AND COLORING
AND- SLEEPING THAT'S NOT WHAT WE
DO IN THE CLASSROOM TODAY. IT IS
EXTREMELY RIGOROUS IN TERMS OF
LEARNING HOW TO. READ RIGHT. AND
LEARN ACADEMIC SKILLS SO BY THE
TIME THEY REACH FIRST GRADE WE
HAVE ALREADY DISADVANTAGED
THESE- STUDENTS SO- I WANTED TO
UP TO TURN IT OVER NOW TO
SOMEONE MIGHT WITNESSES JOINING
HERE TODAY MICHEAL ROMERO FROM
LA UST. IS THE CHIEF OF
TRANSITIONAL. PROGRAMS AND
MEREDITH DE CO PRESIDENT OF THE
CALIFORNIA KINDERGARTEN
ASSOCIATION. THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIR. IMAGE REMEMBER WELCOME-
PLEASE PROCEED TO THE NEXT THANK
YOU GOOD MORNING CHAIR NEWMAN
MEMBERS. I'M DR MICHEAL ROMERO
CHIEF OF TRANSITIONAL PROGRAMS
WITH THE LOS ANGELES UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT. IN LOS ANGELES
UNIFIED IS A PROUD SPONSOR OF
SENATE BILL SEVEN SIXTY SEVEN.
TO CREATE KINDERGARTEN AS A
MANDATORY. GRADING CALIFORNIA.
WE VIEW MANDATE KELLER. AND TO
KEEP OF K. VIC TERM SURE CHILD
HAS THE EARLY LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES THEY NEED TO
SUCCEED. IT'S ALSO FUNDAMENTAL
TO EQUITY AND CLOSING THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP WE SEE BETWEEN
SOME OF OUR KIDS. COMING FROM
DISADVANTAGED BACKGROUNDS AND
THEIR CLASSMATES. IN LOS ANGELES
WE'VE SEEN THAT KIDS WHO ATTEND
KINDERGARTEN DO BETTER ON THEIR
YEAR END ASSESSMENTS FOR FIRST
GRADE SECOND GRADE THIRD GRADE.
AND HAVE HIGHER TEST SCORES ON
SMARTER BALANCED AS LATE AS
FIFTH GRADE AND WE FEEL THIS IS
A BIG DEAL. AND IT'S NOT ONLY IN
LOS ANGELES RESEARCH DONE
RECENTLY BY EXPERTS AT UC
IRVINE. DEMONSTRATE THAT KIDS IN
STATES WITH MANDATORY
KINDERGARTEN DO BETTER. AND AS
SENATOR RUBIO MADE REFERENCE TO
THE ARE MORE LIKELY TO GO TO
COLLEGE FOR MORE MONEY AND ARE
LESS LIKELY TO LIVE IN POVERTY
AS ADULTS. THESE IMPACTS ARE
STRONG AS FOR HISPANIC AND BLACK
CHILDREN WHICH ARE EXACTLY THE
GROUPS WE NEED TO FOCUS ON TO
LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD. AND
MAKE SURE ALL KIDS IN LOS
ANGELES IN CALIFORNIA ARE READY
FOR THE WORLD. NOW EVERYONE
AGREES THAT KIDS ATTENDING
KINDERGARTEN IT'S A GOOD POLICY
IN CALIFORNIA. THE CONCERN WE'RE
FACING IS THE BUDGET AND
ESPECIALLY FOR THIS YEAR. THE
LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S OFFICE
ESTIMATES THAT SB SEVEN SIXTY
SEVEN WOULD RESULT. IN FOURTEEN
THOUSAND ADDITIONAL KIDS
ATTENDING KINDERGARTEN. AND
LET'S BE CLEAR THAT WORKS OUT TO
ABOUT TWO KIDS PER ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL. WE DO NOT THINK THIS
WILL CAUSE ANY ADDITIONAL
STAFFING- FACILITY NEEDS. M.
FOURTEEN THOUSAND IS LESS THAN
HALF OF THE DECLINE IN TOTAL K.
TWELVE ENROLLMENT BETWEEN THIS
YEAR AND LAST YEAR. THIS MEANS
THAT THE MONEY IS ALREADY THERE
TO SERVE THESE KIDS IN PROP
NINETY EIGHT WITHOUT ANY CUTS OR
REDUCTIONS TO OTHER PROGRAMS. WE
HOPE THAT CALIFORNIA WILL JOIN
THE NINETEEN OTHER STATES THAT
PRIORITIZE EARLY LEARNING FOR
ALL CHILDREN AND MAKE
KINDERGARTEN MANDATORY GRADE. WE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR AYE
VOTE THANK YOU THANK YOU.
CONNECTIONIST AND WELCOME. THE
MORNING CARE MEN AND MEMBERS
THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME MY NAME
IS MEREDITH CA AND I AM THE CO
PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA
KINDERGARTEN ASSOCIATION AND
I'VE BEEN A KINDERGARTEN OR
FIRST GRADE TEACHER FOR OVER
TWENTY YEARS. I HAVE MANY
ANECDOTAL STORIES THAT
ILLUSTRATE THE IMPORTANCE OF
ATTENDING KINDERGARTEN BUT
PROBABLY THE MOST IMPACTFUL ONE
IS FROM JUST THIS LAST YEAR.
LAST YEAR AS A FIRST GRADE
TEACHER I HAVE THE CLASIFICADOS
THAT MISTER MAJORITY AND THEIR
KINDERGARTEN YEAR BECAUSE OF
KOVIN. SOME WENT BACK IN PERSON
IN MARCH OR APRIL BUT MOST OF
THEM WERE ONLINE FOR ALL OF
THEIR KINDERGARTEN YEAR. AND LET
ME TELL YOU LAST YEAR'S FIRST
GRADE CLASS WAS MY HARDEST YEAR
OF TEACHING KINDERGARTEN THAT
I'VE EVER HAD. AND I JOKE ABOUT
THAT A LOT BUT REALLY IT WAS
TRUE AND IT WASN'T THE ACADEMICS
THAT WAS DIFFICULT I'LL COME
BACK ANOTHER TIME TO TALK ABOUT
PUSHING DOWN ACADEMICS INTO
KINDERGARTEN. THAT'S ANOTHER
BILL. BUT IT WAS THE SOCIAL
EMOTIONAL PARTS THE PROBLEM
SOLVING THE INTERACTING WITH
EACH OTHER. THAN KNOWING HOW TO
BE IN SCHOOL AND THE
KINDERGARTEN BASICS THE HOW TO
HOLD THE PENCIL. HI DEAN- THOSE
WERE THE THINGS THAT WERE REALLY
HARD FROM THE STUDENTS LAST
YEAR. AND THAT'S THE VALUE AND
THE IMPORTANCE OF KINDERGARTEN.
IN KINDERGARTEN KIDS LEARN HOW
TO BE IN A CLASSROOM. HOW TO GET
ALONG WITH TWENTY PLUS OTHER
KIDS HOW TO WAIT THEIR TURN HOW
TO PROBLEM SOLVE. BECAUSE
SOLVING A PROBLEM WITH THEIR
CLASS ME IS A LOT DIFFERENT THAN
HOW YOU SOLVE A PROBLEM WITH
YOUR SIBLING. HI YOU WAIT YOUR
TURN TO TALK IS A LOT DIFFERENT
IN THE CLASSROOM THEN HOW YOU
WAIT YOUR TURN TO TALK OR MAYBE
HOW YOU DON'T WAIT YOUR TURN TO
TALK AT HOME- AND NOT ALL KIDS
COME FROM HOMES THAT ARE ABLE TO
PREPARE THEM FOR SCHOOL. AND
SOME KIDDOS COME TO SCHOOL
HAVING NEVER PICKED UP A PENCIL.
AND IMAGINE IF THEY DON'T GO TO
KINDERGARTEN AND THEY COME INTO
FIRST GRADE NOT HAVING PICKED UP
A PENCIL. IMAGINE HOW FAR BEHIND
THEY ALREADY ARE THAN THEIR
CLASS THEIR CLASSMATES. AND VISA
THIS IS KINDERGARTEN IS THERE
OPPORTUNITY TODAY. TO LEVEL THAT
PLAYING FIELD AS SOON AS SENATOR
RUBIO MENTIONED EARLIER.
KINDERGARTEN GIVES THEM THE
SKILLS THAT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED
NOT JUST IN SCHOOL. BUT IN LIFE.
AND THIS IS WHY I THINK
KINDERGARTEN SHOULD BE MANDATORY
AND I. AM THINK. YOU SHOULD
SUPPORT. IT THAT YOU GUYS FELT
THANK YOU APPRECIATE THAT SIR
THANK YOU DID ANYBODY ELSE HERE

COMMENTED QUESTIONS ON THE
MEASURE SEARCH OVER. YES I THINK
MY COLLEAGUE KNOWS THAT I
HAVEN'T BEEN SUPPORTIVE OF THIS
MEASURE IN THE PAST- ON SEVERAL
FRONTS I THINK M. ONE
DEVELOPMENTALLY- I THINK PARENTS
NEED TO CHOOSE WHEN THEIR CHILD
IS REASSESS COURSE WITH THAT
WITH THE ASSISTANCE OF SCHOOLS
DISCUSS WHETHER OR NOT THAT
CHILD IS READY TO ENTER. THE
SCHOOL SYSTEM AT THE AGE OF FIVE
BUT I'M I'M KIND OF CURIOUS WHAT
THE EXPERTS THAT ARE HERE- WITH
ALL THE ACADEMIC- PAST
EXPERIENCE I WANT TO KNOW WHAT
THE ORIGINAL- RATIONALE WAS TO
MAKE FIRST GRADE THE FIRST GRADE
THAT WAS. APPROPRIATE
DEVELOPMENTALLY FOR A CHILD TO
GO TO SCHOOL AND BE MANDATED BY
THE STATE WHICH IS THEN IT PUTS
CERTAIN RESPONSIBILITIES ON
PARENTS AND ACCOUNTABILITY AND
PARENTS AND IT ACTUALLY HAS THE
STATE YOU KNOW BE ABLE TO. M.
HAVE INPUT INTO THAT FAMILY AND
THE ND ACADEMIC IN THE
DEVELOPMENT OF THAT CHILD AND
RESPONSIBILITIES PLACED ON THOSE
FAMILIES AND THOSE CHILDREN WHAT
WAS IT WHAT WAS THE ORIGINAL
THIS DO ANY OF YOU FOLKS KNOW
WHAT THE ORIGINAL INTENT WAS
WHEN WE MADE FIRST GRADE. D.
MANDATORY GRADE BY WHICH
STUDENTS HAD TO ENTER PUBLIC
SCHOOLS OR SCHOOLS THE SCHOOL
SYSTEM IN GENERAL SO IN OTHER
WORDS WHAT WHY NOT KINDERGARTEN
READY AND- I MEAN. EITHER EITHER
OF THE WITNESSES WANT TO SPEAK
TO THOSE. I MEAN. I WOULD ONLY
BE GUESSING BUT MY GUESS WOULD
BE AS WHEN THAT HAPPENED. IT
STAYED HOME WITH THEIR PARENTS
OR WITH THEIR MOM YOU KNOW MOMS
WERE AT HOME AND THERE WAS A LOT
IT WAS A DIFFERENT TIME. AND SO
THE PREPARATION FOR FIRST GRADE
AND ALSO FIRST GRADE IS
DIFFERENT YOU KNOW FIRST GRADE
NOW IS NOT WHAT FIRST GRADE WAS
AT THE TIME. AT THAT TIME- AND
SO. I THINK WHAT KIDS DID AT
HOME IT WAS IT WAS. SO THAT'S MY
GUESS IS THAT IS THAT. WHAT
HAPPENED AT HOME. WAS MORE WHAT.
WAS PREPARATION FOR FIRST GRADE-
IF I CAN JUST HAVE BEEN A WEEK
OF SCHOOL BECAME COMPULSORY THIS
WOULD HAVE BEEN IN THE LATE
EIGHTEEN IN EARLY NINETEEN
HUNDREDS IT WAS THE AGE AT WHICH
CHILDREN WERE DEEMED CAPABLE OF
GRADING SCHOOL ON THEIR OWN- WAS
AROUND AGE SIX- KINDERGARTEN
BECAME A THING- FOLLOWING WORLD
WAR ONE. AT THAT POINT IT WAS
VIEWED VERY MUCH AS A
DEVELOPMENTAL THING TO GET KIDS
USE TO SCHOOL- AND THAT CHILDREN
GETS COULD BE TAKEN TO AND FROM
BY THEIR MOTHERS OF FOR THAT
REASON SINCE THE NINETEEN
FORTIES THERE'S BEEN SPECIAL
RULES AROUND. SPECIAL
KINDERGARTEN PLAYGROUNDS THEY
HAVE THEIR OWN BATHROOMS BECAUSE
PEOPLE WERE VERY CONCERNED.
ABOUT CHILDREN THAT YOUNG BEING
IN A SCHOOL SETTING SAID THIS IS
PART OF A GRADUAL TRANSITION-
BUT THE ORIGINAL AGE OF SIX IS
BASED ON THE AGE AT WHICH OF US
FELT APPROPRIATE FOR CHILDREN TO
WALK TO SCHOOL ON THEIR OWN.
WHICH IS THE ASSUMED MODE OF
TRANSPORT IN THE EARLY NINETEEN
HUNDREDS. INTERESTING WALKING TO
MY ONE ON ONES ATTENTION. A GOOD
QUESTION MY HUSBAND. ACTUALLY
REMEMBERS WALKING TO SCHOOL. BY
HIM. AT THE AGE OF FIVE. THANK
YOU TO FIRST GRADE AB AND HE TO
THIS DAY HE GOES. I CAN'T
BELIEVE MY PARENTS ALLOWED ME TO
DO THAT- IN THE YEAR BECAUSE YOU
HAVE TO CROSS A MAIN AVENUE
GRANTED IT WASN'T AS- AS- AS-
WHAT'S YOURS. HE'S TO. YEAH IT
WAS A DIFFERENT TIME. YEAH AND I
AM I AM TO I. TAKE I ADDRESS
IT'LL BE CONCERN- ABOUT- YOU
KNOW JUST UP. OF A CHECK- AND I
AM SORRY TO MENTION IT EARLIER.
TO BE BEEN WORKING WITH TURN
OUT. FOR THREE YEARS NOW AND SO
WE HAVE TAKEN A LOT OF INPUT
FROM THESE PARENTS. AND SO
BECAUSE OF THEIR INPUT AND WHAT
I'M HEARING YOUR CONCERN IS WE
TOOK. THEIR ADVICE AND IN
CORPORATE SOME OTHER CONSTRAINTS
IN THE BILL. BY WAY OF EXAMPLE
THERE ARE OPTIONS IT'S NOT THAT
HAVE TO BE IN. SCHOOL AND SOME
OF THE OPTIONS ARE THEY CAN
CHOOSE TO HOME SCHOOL THEM. YOU
KNOW THROUGH THE PUBLIC
EDUCATION THEY CAN CHOOSE.
PRIVATE SCHOOL AS WELL. THEY CAN
CHOOSE A CHARTER SCHOOL OR THEY
CAN CHOOSE TO DELAYED THE
ENROLLMENT OF THE CHILD UNTIL
SIX YEARS OLD. WHEN THEY FEEL
IT'S THERE READY AND EVEN THEN
IF THEY THINK THEIR CHILD IS
HIGH ACHIEVING AND IS PERFORMING
WELL THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO
WORK WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
TO TEST THEM OUT OF KINDERGARTEN
NOT SOMETHING THAT THEY WOULD
HAVE TO DO WITH THEIR SCHOOL
DISTRICT SO. THERE'S A VARIETY
OF WAYS WHERE- YOU KNOW I GUESS
AT THE THIS CAME FROM PARENT
CONCERNS AND LAST THREE YEARS
WORKING WITH PARENT GROUPS AND-
AND WE GOT TO A GOOD PLACE IN
THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE WHICH I
BELIEVE IS. YOUR CONCERN ABOUT A
STUDENTS MAYBE NOT BEING READY.
YEAH IN THE IN THE SO EXPAND A
LITTLE BIT ON THE FACT THAT YOU
JUST SAID. THAT THEY HAVE A
CHOICE. NOT TO. NOT TO ENROLL
THE KIDS THEY HAVE. I'M SORRY ME
INDEPENDENT STUDIES BUT EVEN
WITH THAT CHOICE THEY NOW.
BECOME AT. WE TO. A SHOP. TO
CERTAIN LEVEL FOR THESE. IN CAN
RIGHT ANYBODY I MEAN NO.
REGARDLESS OF THE OPTION THAT
THEY PURSUE. THEY HAVE TO.
DEMONSTRATE THAT THAT CHILD HAS.
ACHIEVED A CERTAIN LEVEL OF
PERFORMANCE- THAT EQUATES TO
KINDERGARTEN. CORRECT WHAT DO
YOU KNOW FIRST OF ALL. I JUST
WANTED TO SHARE THAT THE EACH
RIGHT NOW A COMPULSORY AGES SIX
AND RIGHT NOW 40% OF STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA. BOB GO TO SCHOOL AT
THE AGE SIX. YOU KNOW SO MEANING
THE PARENTS CAN CHOOSE TO SAY MY
CHILD IS NOT READY I DON'T THINK
THEY'RE EMOTIONALLY. PREPARED
AND THEY CAN JUST HOLD OFF TILL
THERE THE AGE OF SIX AND ENTER
KINDERGARTEN IN THE AGE. SIX
YEARS OLD WHICH IS WHAT NOW THE
LAW. IS SET TO ENTER SCHOOL. SO
THEY WOULD HAVE TO BE IN SCHOOL
NO MATTER WHAT AT AGE SIX THAT
REQUIREMENTS OF PERFORMANCES
MANY TENDONS. AND THAT'S
ACTUALLY INTRINSIC TO THE GOAL
WHICH IS WHICH IS TO HAVE
STUDENTS. IN SCHOOL. IN
KINDERGARTEN TWO POINT YOU COULD
GO EIGHT SIX OF THE PARENTS TEAM
THAT THE APPROPRIATE TIME BUT
IT'S TO HAVE THAT EDUCATION
EXPERIENCE DURING THAT MANDATE
YEARS ARE CORRECT. THAT'S
CORRECT. THE IN OUT THERE I MEAN
CITY CALIFORNIA HAS CHANGED THE
STANDARDS- THAT TEACHERS ARE NOW
MANDATED TO TEACH AND SO. THERE
ARE STANDARDS FOR CANDOR SO I
FEEL THAT. YOU KNOW WE'RE JUST
SETTING THEM UP FOR FAILURE IF
WE HAVE THESE EXPECTATIONS
COMING OUT OF CANDOR- BY WAY OF
EXAMPLE THEY HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO
WRITE A SENTENCE. A SIMPLE
SENTENCE BUT NONETHELESS A
SENTENCE THEY HAVE TO KNOW HOW
TO COUNT THEIR NUMBERS AND-
THERE'S SO MUCH THAT THEY HAVE
TO. COME INTO FIRST GRADE
KNOWING THAT IS KINDERGARTEN
STANDARDS SO WE HAVE THAT
EXPECTATION BUT YEAH WE DON'T
MANDATE THAT THEY SHOW UP TO
CANDOR BY TIME THEY SHOW UP TO
FIRST GRADE. THERE'S ALREADY AN
ENTIRE YEAR OF LEARNING GAPS SO
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO MAKE SURE
THAT EVERY CHILD STARTS WITH THE
SAME. EMAIL EXPECTATIONS THE
SAME- ACADEMIC RIGOR AND THEY'RE
ALL. AT THE SAME PLAYING FIELD
WE DON'T WANT SOME OF OUR
CHILDREN'S SHOW FAR BEHIND
BECAUSE A PARENT BUT- IT WAS AN
IMPORTANT. BECAUSE WE DON'T
MANDATE IT- ENGR AND I. AND I.
ARE WERE BOTH THE SAME WITH FROM
LIKE. AT A- ADD BACKGROUND. AND
UPBRINGINGS I WAS RE BETWEEN
MEXICO THE US I VERY MUCH OF.
THE VALUE THE FACT THAT. AT
LATINOS IN. HAVE BEEN HOLD A
HIGHER. FOR PA. TO EDUCATIONAL.
AND TEACHERS ARE REVERED. AB
PROFESSORS ARE REVERED IN THE
LATINO CULTURE AT LEAST IN MY-
IN MY STATE SO WHATEVER. YOU
KNOW THE TEACHERS SAY. THEY WILL
TAKE TO HEART BECAUSE EDUCATION
FOR MANY OF THEM IS VERY
IMPORTANT ESPECIALLY THOSE THAT.
DIDN'T HAVE MANY EDUCATIONAL-
OPPORTUNITIES IN THEIR NATIVE
COUNTRIES WHEN THEY COME HERE
IT'S LIKE NO ME WHOLE. ON THE
LAKE BUT AS WELL AS- EDUCATION
IS INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT TO. KNOW
HAVE YOU SAID THAT. I STILL
THINK THAT. HERE'S THE OTHER
CONCERN THAT I HAVE IS THAT AT
SOME POINT WE DECIDED THAT. SIX
YEARS OF AGE OF FIRST GRADE
FORWARD WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
MANDATORY THAT'S WHEN THE STATE
AND THIS IS WHERE I'M LOOKING AT
IT. THIS IS WHEN THE STATE HAS
INPUT AND FEEDBACK INTO A
FAMILIES. AB ENVIRONMENT.
INCLUDING THAT CHILD'S
RESPONSIBILITIES CAN GOING
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT NOW YOU GIVE
THE STATE. STILL SYSTEM THE
ABILITY TO DICTATE. EXPECTATIONS
FROM THAT FAMILY FOR THOSE
STUDENTS THEY COME IN THAT'S
WHEN THE SECOND INTO YOUR LIFE
AS A PARENT. WITH REGARD TO YOUR
CHILD. NOW WE'RE SAYING BECAUSE
THE BECAUSE THE CHILDREN ARE NOT
PERFORMING IN SCHOOL AND QUITE
FRANKLY IN BECAUSE I. THIRTY TWO
LIKE YOURSELF I TAUGHT FIRST
SECOND AND THIRD GRADE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE LEARNERS. WENT TO
EDUCATIONAL PARKER COURSES DID
MY- MY CLASSES MY COURSE WORK
FOR AT FOR BEING A TEACHER- I
CAL STATE SALMON DINO I TOOK
MANY CLASSES WITH REGARDS TO
YOU. AB CHILD DEVELOPMENT AND
REALIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THOSE
FIRST FIVE YEARS- BOTH A
SOCIALLY SOCIALIZATION AS WELL
AS BEING SPONGES AND JUST.
LEARNING EVERYTHING THAT IS
GIVEN TO THEM WHICH IS AN
ADVANTAGE FOR US TO WORK IN THE
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM KNOWING THAT.
THESE KIDS WILL LEARN EVERYTHING
THAT IS GIVEN TO THEM UNLESS
THERE IS A BEHAVIORAL
PSYCHOLOGICAL PHYSIOLOGICAL.
IMPEDIMENT THAT DOESN'T ALLOW
THEM TO LORD ACCURATELY BUT
THOSE CHILDREN WILL LEARN IF YOU
GIVE ON THE MATERIAL AND THE
EXPOSURE TO IT THEY ARE SPONGES
AND NO ONE. NO ONE WILL WILL-
WILL DISPUTE THAT FACT THAT THEY
ARE SPONGES UNLESS THERE'S
SOMETHING NOT QUITE THEIR
IMPEDIMENT. I LEARNING
IMPEDIMENT- HAVING SAID THAT SO
COMING IN WHEN I LOOK IT BUT
WHEN I LOOK AT THIS PARTICULAR
BILL. AND I LOOK AT THE IMPACT
THAT THE STATE HAS ON PARENTS
AND INPUT AND FEEDBACK AND
ACCOUNTABILITY ON THEIR PART AS
FAR AS EXPECTATIONS OF THE
FAMILY THAT CHILD. AT ONE POINT
WE SAID FIRST GRADE NOW WE'RE
SAYING THEY'RE NOT READY FOR
FIRST GRADE WE WANT THEM. AT
KINDERGARTEN WE WANT THEM AT
FIVE YEARS OLD. MY CONCERN IS
THAT THIS RATE BECAUSE THE
ACADEMICS ARE SO RIGOROUS
BECAUSE WE KNOW CHILDREN HAVE
THE POTENTIAL TO LEARN SO MUCH
AT THAT TIME. THAT SAY IN
FIFTEEN TWENTY THIRTY YEARS
WE'RE GOING TO SAY YOU KNOW WHAT
THESE CHILDREN ARE NOT READY AT
KINDERGARTEN. THEY'RE NOT READY
IN KINDERGARTEN. THEREFORE
THERE'S SO MUCH MORE THAT WE'RE
EXPECTING IN KINDERGARTEN
BECAUSE WE KNOW THE POTENTIAL
NOW WE'RE GONNA WANT THEM AT
FOUR YEARS OLD. AND THEN FIFTEEN
TWENTY YEARS FROM THERE ARE YOU
TO SAY YOU KNOW WHAT. THESE
CHILDREN ARE NOT CAPABLE. ARE
ARE NOT COMING IN AT READY FOR
FOURTH OR FIFTH GRADE R. FOUR
FIVE YEARS OLD AND THE EDUCATION
WHATEVER THAT MAY BE AT THAT
TIME. WE'RE GONNA ONE AT THREE.
SO WHAT POINT DO WE STOP AND SAY
NO WILL THAT THE FAMILIES DECIDE
HOW THE ECONOMY TO CHOOSE. WHAT
WORKS BEST FOR THOSE FAMILIES
AND THEIR CHILD WITHOUT THE
STATE HAVING INPUT OF FEEDBACK
OR EXPECTATIONS AND WHAT THAT
FAMILY FEELS IS IMPORTANT FOR
THEIR CHILD. AND THAT'S MY
BIGGEST CONCERN THAT AS A
PARENT. I WANT TO RESPECT THE
AUTONOMY OF THOSE FAMILIES TO
HELP THEIR CHILDREN. TO HAVE AND
ENJOY THEIR CHILD WITHOUT
SOMEONE COMING IN ITS STATE THIS
IS WHAT WE NEED WE NEED YOUR
CHILD. WE WANT YOUR CHILD WE
WILL DO A BETTER JOB THAN YOU.
IF YOUR CHILD. THAT'S MY
CONCERNED WHEN THEY SEE THIS I'M
LOOKING AT IT FROM A SIXTY
THOUSAND. FOOT LEVEL MOVING
FORWARD AND WHERE WE'RE GOING
CULTURALLY. SOCIETALLY EXPECTING
FOR MY CHILD. SORRY MY HEART IS
RACING. I'VE SEEN MANY PIECES OF
POLICY WELL INTENDED. WHEN IT
COMES TO POLICY WITH THEIR
CHILDREN. HI MY COLLEAGUES ALL
HAVE GOOD INTENT WELL INTENDED.
BUT I AM I'M A THINKER AND I AM
SOMEONE WHO LOOKS AT THINGS
VISIONARY LEE AND I'M GOING HOW
IS THIS CHANGING OUR CULTURE OUR
EXPECTATIONS. AND BE. IMPACT BUT
THE GOVERNMENT HAS. I'M THE MOST
PRECIOUS THING THAT IS NOT OUR
CHILDREN OUR LEGACY. SORRY.
THOSE ARE THE CONCERNS THAT I
HAVE AND THOUGH THIS MAY BE
SOMETHING THAT IS NEEDED IN LA.
KALLONI AND WANTED IN L. A.
COUNTY WHICH YOU KNOW I DON'T
KNOW WHETHER OR NOT YOU FOLKS
HAD THE CAPACITY TO DO THAT
WITHIN YOUR OWN WITHIN YOUR OWN
COUNTY BUT- I REALLY CAN'T
SUPPORT A BILL. THAT REFLECTS
MAYBE THE NEEDS AND WANTS OF LA
OR THE REST OF THE STATE. AND
WITH THAT I'M GOING TO
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE BILL.
AND I HOPE THAT WE THINK ABOUT
WHAT THE EXPECTATIONS IN THE
IMPACT AND THE DIRECT. HOW WERE
THAT THE STATE. WHICH WELL
INTENDED BUT WHERE DOES THAT
TRULY MEANS HOLD TRILLIONS IS
HARDLY BY MANDATING THIS THANK
YOU. THESE ARE THE THINGS A
LITTLE YOU KNOW MY FUTURE ABSENT
ANYTHING. PLEASE I'M JUST
LOOKING AT THE ANALYSIS ON PAGE
THREE- ITEM NUMBER FIVE. IS THIS
BILL DOES NOT REQUIRE STUDENTS
TO ATTEND KINDERGARTEN AT A
PUBLIC SCHOOL PARENTS WOULD
RETAIN THE OPTION TO ENROLL
THERE FIVE OR SIX YEAR OLD. IN
KINDERGARTEN AT A PRIVATE SCHOOL
INCLUDING HOME SCHOOL SO THERE
IS THAT OPTION IN THE BILL FOR
HOME SCHOOLING TO THE AUTHOR IS
THAT CORRECT CORRECT. THANK YOU
. AND FOR MY PART I ASSUME.
THANK YOU TO SHOWBOAT- I WITH
THE ARE MORE PEOPLE. WHO ARE NOT
AWARE OF THAT CAN IS NOT
MANDATORY THAN AND ALL- AND IT'S
JUST I THINK WE. ONE THE ITEM IS
NOT BEEN JUST WHICH I THINK IS
REAL HERE'S THE MAY THIS YEAR
VESTED AND TEACH. THE ANALYSTS
THAT WERE YEAR IN SO CAN IS TO
FACED WITH SORT OF THIS IS- I
DON'T KNOW HOW EDUCATION DON'T
ALL WE'RE GONNA WE'RE FUNNY TO
K. FOR SIMPLE. SOME REALLY. I
CERTAINLY JIM AND ADDS READ- NOT
LEAST AWAY. ARE YOU HELPING TO
ALIGN- THE YOU KNOW A CHILD SAY
THE WITH WORK DAY- AND- I. KNOW
I THINK YOU KNOW IN IN IN
CONCERT DOING AWAY CASE WE HAVE
DIFFERENT IDEA OF. TO THE OF
SCHOOL. AND JOBS AYE AYE IT'S I
THINK OF IT AS INCLUDES- AND I
SUPPOSE OF- AND EMILY IS.
PHYSICAL TO COME TO THE MOTIONAL
DEVELOPMENT AGAIN I THINKS WHICH
EARLY POINTS. YEAH IT'S WE'RE
NOT TRACKING. ANYTHING OTHER
THAN IS THE COMMONS BUT TO.
EARLIER RATHER LATER IS SO THAT
THEY- TO. COMMUNITIES DON'T WANT
A BETTER IDEA BEHIND. HERE'S
YOUR I THINK YOUR POINT IS IN
YOUR NICHE. PROJECTIONS WILL
TAKE A IF YOU GIVE PEOPLE- IN
CHALLENGE WHICH WHICH OFTEN THEY
MAKE IT YOU. WHICH SEEMS. LEVINE
OR FORCES WILL THE SHORT AND
LONG TERM. IT PRO IS AT THE X.
OF THE KIDS DEVELOPMENT. I WANT
HE'S ALSO THE X. WE DO THIS
WELL- TIME WEEK MAKING
INVESTMENTS STANDARD LEARNING
AFTER SCHOOL OF THE PRIEST.
AGAIN I THINK IF YOU KNOW IN A
LINE- THE SCHOOL DAY FELT DAY
WITH DAYS WE CAN UNLOCK NOT ONLY
A OF THE TEN IN SHORT ALSO FOR
UP. PARENTS TO BETTER PROVIDE
FOR THEIR TO PROVIDE THE AT HOME
TOOK I THINK THIS MAKES TO ME
QUICKLY THERE ARE. HOW MUCH OF
OTHER ASPECTS TO THIS THAT WILL
CHALLENGING YOU MOVE. BUDGET
THERE TO K. DEFERRED GRADE WE
SHOULD INCLUDE CAN. WE SHOULD
FIND- WE SHOULD WE SHOULD ASK.
HONOR THE EDGE. WHO WHO. SERVED
AT THE YOU KNOW EARLY CHILD
DEVELOPMENT ALL THE WAY TO START
EARLY OF THROUGH- YOU KNOW K.
THROUGH TWELVE. JOE COMMITTEE
FROM THIS FOR. HAPPY SUPPORTED-
DAN- HAVE A SAID THAT ANY OTHER
COME FROM NO THE YOU HAVE A
MOTION FROM. MY COLLEAGUE SENATE
GLAZER MU THE BILL- WOULD YOU
LIKE TO WHICH- YES THANK YOU-
AND I YOU KNOW I'VE I DO TO. YOU
KNOW YOU'RE KIND. AND JUST WANT
SURE I'M HUMAN TO MAY ME AND-
BASED ON MY STUDIES WE KNOW THAT
CHILDREN LEARN. BOB THERE'S AS
YOU PUT IT ASSET THE LEARNED.
QUICKLY IN THE YEAR YEAR YEAR
UNLESS THEY A LEARNING TO. BUT I
THIS IS WHERE CANDOR IS VITAL
BECAUSE- THEY COME INTO OUR
SCHOOL SYSTEM AND THAT'S WINNING
CAN A YOU START. ANALYZING YOU
KNOW THE DAILY CLASSES CAN BE
HERE AND I'VE HAD SO MANY KIDS
EVEN WHEN I TAUGHT THIRD GRADE
OR FOURTH GRADE THAT. PARENTS
AND EVEN THE EDUCATION SYSTEM
DIDN'T CATCH CERTAIN THINGS LIKE
GLASSES SIMPLE THINGS LIKE
CLASSES I HAD ONE CHILD THAT WAS
TRACK SPECIAL ED AND IT WAS AND
THAT HE HAD A LEARNING
DISABILITY BUT HE COULDN'T SEE.
AND STILL CANDOR IS THAT YEAR
WHAT YOU START TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT OF IS THERE A LEARNING
DISABILITY CAN THE HERE CAN BE
SEEN YOU CATCH ALL THOSE THINGS
TO ENSURE THAT THEY'RE GETTING
THE SERVICES IN CANDOR BY TIME
TO COME THE FIRST GRADE. THEY'RE
READY TO LEARN YOU DON'T HAVE TO
START. TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT'S WORTH THE DEFICIENCY IS
SINCE THE FIRST GRADE AND- AND
SO I THINK IT'S JUST IMPORTANT
AND I WILL ALSO POINT OUT THAT.
YOU KNOW FOR SOMEONE LIKE
YOURSELF OR LIKE MYSELF YOU KNOW
HOW EDUCATORS WOULD DECREASE OUR
CHILDREN WILL BE FINE. THEY
WOULD DO FINE. BUT YOU KNOW FOR
COMMUNITIES WHERE THERE IS YOU
KNOW HOW PARENTS THAT. DON'T
SPEAK THE LANGUAGE OR DON'T HAVE
THE RESOURCES YOU KNOW FOR THEM
THEY'LL HAVE A MUCH HARDER TIME

LEAVE HERE THINKING IT'S IN LOS
ANGELES. YOU S. T. BILL DEREK

CENTRAL VALLEY YOU KNOW THE
THEIR CHILDREN A FARM. AT THE-
ALSO NEED. TO UNDERSTAND HOW
IMPORTANT THIS BILL IS AN- HI I

ABOUT HAVING YOUR CHILD HOME A
LITTLE LONGER BUT I THINK AT THE
END OF THE- DAY THIS BILL IS TO
SET UP. STUDENTS FOR OP LONG
TERM SUCCESS AND I THINK IT'S A
WIN WIN FOR. OUR EDUCATORS AND
THAT YOU KNOW THAT THEIR
STRUGGLING AND THEY NEED BETTER
PREPARE CHILDREN IT'S A WIN FOR
THE CHILD WHO. REALLY THAT THE
FOUNDATIONAL SKILLS ARE VITAL TO
THE SUCCESS. THEIR ENTIRE
EDUCATIONAL ON LIFE AND DEATH.
AND OF COURSE PARENTS WHO DON'T
HAVE TO STRUGGLE AT HOME TRYING
TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO DO HOMEWORK
AND HELP ON. THEIR BETTER

NEWMAN AND COMMITTEE MEMBERS I
HAVE WHAT I THINK IS MAYBE LESS
CONTROVERSIAL BILL BUT WE'LL SEE
WHAT WE WILL SEE SB EIGHT
SEVENTY TWO WOULD REQUIRE LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCIES TO REPORT
ACTUAL NUMBERS OF STUDENTS IN
EACH CLASSROOM. THE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION RATHER THAN AVERAGE
RATIOS WHICH WOULD ALLOW US TO
BEGIN THE PROCESS OF LOWERING
CLASS SIZES THROUGHOUT THE STATE
APPROPRIATE LEVELS THAT YIELD
HIGHER STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
WINNOWED FROM ALL THE DATA THE
CLASS SIZES ONE THE MOST
IMPORTANT FACTORS IN STUDENT
OUTCOMES- AND YES CLICK
CALIFORNIA'S CLASS SIZES OR
HIGHER THE NATIONAL AVERAGE AND
ARE NEGATIVELY IMPACTING OUR
TEACHERS ABILITIES TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF EVERY STUDENT.
CURRENTLY THE STUDENT TO TEACHER
RATIO IS USED AS A PROXY FOR
CLASS SIZE BUT IN REALITY MOST
CLASS SIZES ARE LARGER THAN WHAT
STUDENT TO TEACHER RATIOS MAY
SHOW. IN ADDITION THE DATA
CURRENTLY COLLECTED INCLUDES ALL
CERTIFICATES CERTIFICATED STAFF
WHICH DICK SIGNIFICANTLY
DEFLATES THE REAL STUDENT TO
TEACHER RATIO. AS A RESULT
CALIFORNIA CLASS SIZES MAY BE
MUCH LARGER THAN WE REALIZE. IN
ORDER TO OBTAIN THE GRANULAR
DATA THAT PARENTS POLICYMAKERS
AND ACCOUNTABILITY MODELS NEED.
WE HAVE TO REQUEST INFORMATION
FROM EACH SCHOOL INDIVIDUALLY AN
ARDUOUS TASK. SB EIGHT SEVENTY
TWO WOULD REMOVE THAT STEP AND
ENSURE THAT WE CAPTURE
CALIFORNIA'S TRUE CLASS SIZES BY
ANY INSURING THAT THE REAL
NUMBER STUDENTS PER TEACHER IN
EACH CLASSROOM IS REPORTED. ONLY
THEN WILL YOU WILL BE ABLE TO
REALLY UNDERSTAND CLASS SIZES

DISTRICT AND SILICON VALLEY. ARE
TO COLLEGES WEST VALLEY COLLEGE
ADMISSION COLLEGE SERVE FIFTEEN
THOUSAND STUDENTS AND WE'RE
NATIONALLY RENOWNED FOR
ARCHITECTURE OUR HOSPITALITY
MANAGEMENT OUR FIRE ACADEMY IN
ADMINISTRATION OF JUSTICE
PROGRAMS. ANYWHERE IN SANTA
CLARA COUNTY YOU CAN FIND A FIRE
FIGHTER A POLICE OFFICER OR A
NURSE WHO'S GONE THROUGH THE
MISSION COLLEGE PROGRAM. BUT IN
THE TENTH LARGEST METROPOLITAN
AREA IN THE UNITED STATES THE
MEDIAN PRICE OF A ONE BEDROOM
APARTMENT IS THREE THOUSAND
DOLLARS. THE HAS PRICED MANY
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS OUT
OF THE MARKET FOR AN EDUCATION.
THIS BILL TODAY DOES NOT ASK FOR
ANY FINANCIAL COMMITMENT IT ONLY
ASKS FOR YOUR FLEXIBILITY. WE'RE
REQUESTING THE ABILITY TO
UTILIZE LOCAL REVENUES ALREADY
EXIST IN OUR BUDGETS TO SUPPORT
STUDENTS ON THEIR EDUCATIONAL
JOURNEY. FOR ME THIS IS THE
NATURAL EVOLUTION OF THE STATE'S
EFFORTS TO REMOVE BARRIERS AND
CREATE GREATER EQUITY AMONG
STUDENTS AS YOU ALL KNOW WE HAVE
THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS- PROMISE
PROGRAM WE HAVE AB NINETEEN THE
PROMISE PROGRAM- IN THE SAN
MATTEO COMMUNITY COLLEGE
RECENTLY PASSED THE SENATE BILL-
EIGHT NINETY THREE. OURS WOULD
BE THE OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL
DISTRICTS TO FILL IN THE BLANKS.
TO SERVE STUDENTS WHO ARE MAYBE
BEYOND OUR MOST SOCIO
ECONOMICALLY VULNERABLE
POPULATION INTO THE 60% OF OUR
STUDENTS THAT WE KNOW ARE
HOUSING INSECURE ON ANY GIVEN
DAY. 60% OF OUR STUDENTS ARE
WRESTLING WITH MENTAL HEALTH
ISSUES AND WE KNOW THAT 80% OF
OUR STUDENTS ARE ONE PAYCHECK
AWAY FROM BEING HOMELESS. EVERY
DOLLAR COUNTS IN MANY RESPECTS
TUITION AND ENROLLMENT FEES
MIGHT BE SOME OF THE LOWEST COST
TO STUDENTS ENCOUNTER BUT WE'RE
TAKING EVERY EFFORT TO REMOVE
EACH AND EVERY BARRIER. WE'VE
ALREADY REMOVED THINGS AS SIMPLE
AS PARKING COSTS BUT WE'VE ADDED
THINGS LIKE WE'VE REMOVED THE
COST OF MENTAL HEALTH COUNSELING
AND MENTAL MEDICAL TREATMENT ON
CAMPUS. WE PROVIDED FREE CHILD
CARE FOR OUR STUDENTS AND
WORKING VERY HARD TO ELIMINATE
FOOD INSECURITY WITH THEIR BASIC
NEEDS. HAVING FREE TUITION AND
ENROLLMENT FEES FOR OUR STUDENTS
IS THE NEXT STEP IN THIS
EVOLUTION SO WE HUMBLY REQUEST
RESPECTFULLY. FOR YOUR AYE VOTE
ON A SENATE BILL SIX TWENTY NINE
