OKAY SO IT'S AN HILLS PRESENTING
ESCULENTA ESTIMATES ITEM FOR IN
YOUR AGENDAS AND HE'S JUST
GETTING STARTED THANK YOU VERY
MUCH YOU MISTER CHAIR AND WE'RE
ACCEPTING BOTH AMENDMENTS
AMENDMENTS WILL REQUIRE PARENTS
OR GUARDIANS TO SIGN IN AT THE
SCHOOL. AND REQUIRE A COPY OF
THE CHILD'S VALID MEDICAL
RECOMMENDATION TO.
THE FILE AT THE SCHOOL
S. B. ELEVEN TWENTY SEVEN WILL
HELP STUDENTS WITH SEVERE
MEDICAL DISABILITIES ATTEND
SCHOOL. OFTEN THE ONLY
MEDICATION THAT WORKS FOR SOME
OF THE STUDENTS IS MEDICAL
CANNABIS. THIS BILL WILL ALLOW A
PARENT OR GUARDIAN TO COME ON
CAMPUS TO ADMINISTER MEDICAL
CANNABIS TO THEM IN NON SMOKING
AND NON VAPING FORMS. MANY OF
THE STUDENTS NEED TO TAKE A DOSE
OF MEDICAL CANNABIS AT REGULAR
INTERVALS. WHICH OFTEN INCLUDES
DURING SCHOOL HOURS CURRENT LAW
DOES NOT ALLOW ANY FORM OF
CANNABIS ON SCHOOL GROUNDS. THE
STUDENTS MUST BE PICKED UP BY
THEIR PARENTS AND TAKEN OFF
CAMPUS IN ORDER TO TAKE THEIR
MEDICINE. THIS IS A VERY
DISRUPTIVE.
SITUATION FOR THEIR LEARNING SB
ELEVEN TWENTY SEVEN WILL ALLOW
THE GOVERNING BOARD OF A QUE TO
TO
THROUGH TWELVE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION OR A
CHARTER SCHOOL.
CHOOSE WHETHER TO ADOPT THIS
POLICY IT IS NOT A STATE
MANDATE.
RESTRICTION COUNTIES THAT OFTEN
CAN OPT OUT FOR ANY REASON
INCLUDING IF FEDERAL FUNDING IS
PUT AT RISK AS A RESULT OF THIS
POLICY.
S. B. ELEVEN TWENTY SEVEN
REQUIRES A STUDENT TO BE
QUALIFIED MEDICAL CANNABIS
PATIENT BIG QUALIFY PATIENT WITH
A DOCTOR'S RECOMMENDATION.
RIDLEY THE MEDICINE IS
ADMINISTERED IS OIL CAPTURE OF
CAPSULES TEENAGERS LIQUIDS OR
TOPICAL CREAMS.
THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES THAT A
PARENT MUST NOT DISRUPT THE
EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT AND MUST
TAKE ALL CANNABIS FROM THE
SCHOOL GROUNDS AFTER
ADMINISTRATION.
EXISTING LAW ALLOWS SCHOLS TO
LEGALLY ADMINISTER ANY
PHARMACEUTICAL DRUGS INCLUDING
OPIOIDS.
THAT A CHILD HAS BEEN
PRESCRIBED.
BUT THERE ARE MEDICAL CONDITIONS
PHARMACEUTICALS CAN'T FIX.
FILL SOME OF THESE GAPS UNLESS
IN THESE CHALLENGING SIDE
EFFECTS.
PARENTS ACROSS THE NATION HAVE
HAD SUCCESS TREATING THEIR
CHILDREN WITH MEDICAL CANNABIS
WHEN NO PHARMACEUTICAL WOULD
WORK.
WASHINGTON COLORADO FLORIDA
MAINE AND NEW JERSEY HAVE ALL
PASSED LEGISLATION ALLOWING
STUDENTS TO USE MEDICAL CANNABIS
ON SCHOOL CAMPUS CAMPUSES I HAVE
WITNESSES MISTER CHAIR AND
APPRECIATE YOUR CONSIDERATION.
ONLY IF I NEVER SEE AND I AM
HERE TO SUPPORT SB ELEVEN TWENTY
SEVEN MY SON GIOVANNI.
JO JOE JIMENEZ IS EIGHTEEN YEARS
OLD AND A SENIOR. IN HIGH SCHOOL
HE'S USED CANNABIS IN A FORM OF
TEACHERS THE MEDIAN TEACH THE
FOR THE PAST FOUR YEARS.
HE HAS BEEN PLAGUED WITH
EPILEPSY SINCE THE AGE OF THREE
MONTHS OLD.
HE WAS DIAGNOSED WITH LENNOX
CUSTO SYNDROME IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN THIS KINDA EPILEPSY IS
VERY VERY HARD TO CONTROL.
HE WAS MEDICATED WITH VERY HIGH
DOSES OF PHARMACEUTICALS AND
ALSO FIT IT WITH THEM MEDICAL
DEVICE.
NERVES VAGUS NERVE STIMULATOR
AND IT WAS ALL WITH NO SUCCESS.
I WAS WATCHING MY SON DIE RIGHT
BEFORE MY EYES.
I KNEW THAT THERE HAD TO BE A
BETTER WAY. I BEGAN RESEARCHING
CANNABIS AND THE EFFECTS OF IT
TO TREAT EPILEPSY AND CHOSE TO
TRY IT.
AS OUR LAST RESORT. IN FEBRUARY
OF TWENTY FOURTEEN WAS THE FIRST
TIME THAT WE TRIED IT.
AND IT SEEMED VERY VERY HOPEFUL
DAY BY DAY I SEEN HIM EMERGE
FROM HIS MEDICAID IT'S THE
STARTING CAGING AGAIN.
SEIZURES WERE DECREASED
IMMEDIATELY. I SUPPORT THIS BILL
DUE TO THE FACT THAT JUDGE NEEDS
A DOES OF HIS MEDICINE AT SCHOOL
TWELVE PM EVERYDAY.
I FEEL CANNABIS SHOULD BE
TREATED AS EVERY OTHER
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE ON CAMPUS.
IT IS NOT FAIR THAT THIS
MEDICINE AND SAVE MY SON'S LIFE
AND IT NOT BE GIVEN THE SAME
TREATMENT. AND AN ABILITY IS
OTHER PHARMACEUTICALS ON SCHOOL
CAMPUSES.
JO JO WAS MEDICATED TO THE SKY
ON BEN'S THOSE AND OTHER HARD
DRUGS THAT TOOK AWAY
PARTICIPATION AND THE ABILITY TO
CONNECT WITH HIS PEERS.
THERE'S SOMETHING SOCIALLY
UNACCEPTABLE ABOUT THE FACT THAT
NURSES AND TEACHERS ARE OKAY
WITH ADMINISTERING OPIATES
AND ARE FEARFUL OF MEDICAL
CANNABIS WHICH ALLOWS MY SON TO
FOCUS.
AND ACHIEVE A SEIZURE FREE DAY
AT SCHOOL.
I LOOK FORWARD TO THIS BILL
BECOMING LAW MY SON'S LIFE
DEPENDS ON IT AND SO MANY OTHER
CHILDREN AND YOUNG ADULTS.
IN FIVE THOUSAND YEARS NO ONE
HAS DIED FROM CANNABIS.
IT IS THE ONLY MEDICINE.
THAT CAN TREAT SO MANY DIFFERENT
ELLEN ILLNESSES ON SUCH A WIDE
SPECTRUM FROM EPILEPSY TO CANCER
TO PARKINSON'S.
AND MOOD DISORDERS ANXIETY.
I ASK YOU TODAY TO BE THE VOICE
OF MY SON IN SO MANY OTHERS THAT
NEED YOU TO SAY YES AND PASS
THIS BILL ALONG.
PLEASE VOTE YES BEGIN VERY MUCH
FOR YOUR TIME AND YOUR
COMPASSION. THANK YOU.
ONE SENATOR.
BUT IF I. AM A WIFE A MOTHER TO
BEAUTIFUL FIVE YEAR OLD BOY.
THERE. ARE MANY MISTER RIVER
COMMISSION A WIFE AND MOTHER TO
BEAUTIFUL FIVE YEAR OLD BOY
NAMED ZACHARY HE'S HERE IN THE
PICTURE. I'M ALSO IN INTENSIVE
CARE NURSE THAT REGIONAL MEDICAL
CENTER IN SAN JOSE. AMMAR
CHILD'S ARE COULD WAS BORN IN
APRIL OF TWO THOUSAND THIRTEEN
AT FIVE MONTHS OLD HE.
THOUSANDS AND SEIZURES.
LIFE FOR US STOPPED
WE TRIED EVERYTHING OVER TWELVE
MEDICATIONS THE KETOGENIC DIET
WE THOUGHT COUNTLESS SPECIALIST
A PACKARD. EVEN TALK ABOUT BRAIN
SURGERY WHICH HE DID NOT QUALIFY
FOR.
I LEAVING GIVE HIM A MEDICATION
THAT WOULD PROBABLY CAUSE
BLINDNESS.
AND AT THE TIME.
NOTHING SEEMED TO BE WORKING HE
WAS ON A MIXTURE SEVEN
MEDICATIONS AND STILL HAVING
FORTY TO SIXTY SPASMS EACH
LASTING FOR THIRTY TO SIXTY
MINUTES.
THE DOCTORS TOLD US HE WOULD NOT
SURVIVE PAST THE AGE OF FIVE AND
GIVE US INFORMATION ON NURSING
HOMES AND INSTITUTIONS TO PLACE
OUR INFANT INTO. THAT WAS WHEN
HE WAS FOURTEEN MONTHS OLD.
AS A NURSE I WAS A COMPLETELY
AGAINST CANNABIS MY HASN'T HAD
SEEN A SPECIAL OCCULT LEAD WORK
ON TELEVISION AND BROUGHT THE
IDEA TO ME AND I THOUGHT HE WAS
INSANE.
I TOLD HIM I WOULD NEVER BE
GIVING MY FOURTEEN MONTH OLD
CANNABIS.
IN ANY SHAPE OR FORM. BUT WHEN
YOU'RE FACED WITH DEATH AND YOU
HAVE NO OTHER OPTIONS YOUR MIND
SUCH CHANGES.
WE TRIED CBD OIL AND TWO
THOUSAND FOURTEEN AND WITHIN
THREE WEEKS MY SON LOOKED AT ME
FOR THE FIRST TIME IN THE YEAR
HE HAD NEVER LOOKED AT ME IN
OVER A YEAR ON ALL OF THOSE
MEDICATIONS.
OVER THE NEXT SEVERAL MONTHS HIS
SEIZURE STOPPED
AND HE BEGAN TO INTERACT HE'S
BEEN ON CANNABIS FOR FOUR YEARS
NOW. AND HE'S ENTERING
KINDERGARTEN IN THE FALL THIS
BILL WILL AFFECT HIM FOR THE
REST OF HIS SCHOOL CAREER.
IT'S DIFFICULT TO THINK ABOUT
REMOVING HIM FROM THE CLASSROOM.
WOULD YOU KNOW THAT HIS MEDICAL
RECORDS IN HIS EEGS. SHOW
MINIMAL IMPROVEMENTS ALL THE
PHARMACEUTICALS IN THE MASSIVE
IMPROVEMENTS ON CBD OIL. EVEN
ABLE TO TITRATE A FIVE
MEDICATIONS AND HE ONLY REMAINS
ONTO PHARMACEUTICALS.
YOU DON'T KNOW IF THE CHILD IS
USING CANNABIS OIL BUT YOU DO IF
YOU HAVE TO REMOVE THEM FROM THE
CLASSROOM. IS A VIOLATION OF HIS
HIP A RIGHTS AS THERE IS NO
SAFER PRIVATE PLACE A THOUSAND
FEET AWAY FROM SCHOOL TO GIVE
YOUR SON A MEDICATION ON
STREET CORNER IN FRONT OF A
STRANGER'S HOME.
HE SHOULD BE ABLE TO RECEIVE
MEDICATION PRIVATELY ON CAMPUS
JUST LIKE ANY OTHER CHILD
CURRENTLY THE WAY THE LAW IS IT
IS A HEARTLESS WAY TO SUPPORT
CHILD MEDICAL NEEDS.
THE WERE TAKES ABOUT THIRTY TO
FORTY MINUTES OF HIS EDUCATION
TIME TO GIVE HIM HIS MEDS AND
THEN RETURN HIM TO THE
CLASSROOM.
AND DESPITE OUR BEST EFFORTS TO
DISRUPT THE REST OF HIS NINE
CLASSMATES AND THEIR LEARNING
PROCESS AS WELL.
IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO ME TO
MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE CHILDREN
HIS CUSTOMER SUPPORT IT IN THAT
HE AND THE CHILDREN WHO RECEIVE
THIS VITAL MEDICATION. ARE
SUPPORTED AS WELL.
THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY
HEART FOR YOUR TIME AND
CONSIDERATION I KNOW YOU'LL TAKE
TIED TO CONSIDER THE FACTS ASK
ANY QUESTIONS YOU HAVE AN OD
SIMPLY MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION
FOR OUR CHILDREN.

GOOD MORNING KIMBERLY CLARK I'LL
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF A
THERAPEUTIC ALTERNATIVE WE

CHILDREN IN THE SACRAMENTO
REGION ON OUR PROGRAM. AND AND

ALTERNATIVE PHARMACEUTICALS ON
BEHALF OF. OUR HUNDRED CHILDREN
ON OUR PROGRAM WE URGE YOUR
SUPPORT AND WE AGREE WITH THE
AMENDMENTS TODAY THANK YOU.
BEGIN.
I EVEN KNOWS WHO WANTS TO SPEAK
IN SUPPORT ANYONE WANTS TO RAISE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL AS YOU
CAN OPPOSITION.
COME UP.
YEAH.
THERE.
LOVE ALLURE PRESIDENT OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS I HAVE THE AN
ENVIABLE POSITION TO. COULD YOU
A RAISE A COUPLE CONCERNS. AND
I'VE TRIED WITH OUR MEMBERS TO
MOVE THE NEEDLE TO HIM FOR THEM
TO.
OPPOSE BECAUSE.
TO THE MEMBERS TODAY TAKE CAN
HELP.
THE CONCERN IS.
IT'S REALLY REALLY DIFFICULT FOR
THEM TO GET TO A PLACE WHERE.
THEY SPEND THEIR ENTIRE CAREER
HAVING TO COMPLY WITH BOTH
FEDERAL AND STATE LAW. AND ON
THIS ONE CAME ON THIS ONE ISSUE
OF THEIR SUPPOSED TO TURN A
BLIND EYE AND ALLOW. UN BUT IS
STILL TECHNICALLY AT THE FEDERAL
LEVEL AND A LEGAL SUBSTANCE TO
BE APPLIED AT THEIR SCHOOLS. ON
THE UNDERSTAND IS THAT IT'S A
TOUGH ON. BROUGH LIFE FOR THEM
TO WALK BECAUSE WE WANT TO TAKE
CARE OF THE STUDENTS MAKE SURE
THEIR HEALTH IT'S TAKEN CARE OF.
AT THE SAME TIME KNOWING THAT
WOULD KNOWINGLY ALLOWING THIS
TIME PRODUCT TO BE ADMINISTERED
CAMPUS THE OTHER PROBLEM THAT
THEY'VE EXPRESSED IS.
THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT'S IN THE
PRODUCT BECAUSE THIS IS.
A RECOMMENDATION AND IT'S NOT
FILLED AT A. LEGAL REGULAR FARM
SEATS CHILDREN DISPENSARY THEY
HAVE NO IDEA WHAT'S BEEN
ADMINISTERED UNDER CAMPUS AND IT
WAS ANOTHER REALLY SIGNIFICANT
CONCERN ARMS RACE FOR THEM. THE
OTHER MEMBER OR CAN BE STRUCK BY
SEEKING I THINK ILL BE IN
JUDICIARY IS TO REMOVE ANY
LIABILITY FOR THE DISTRICT OR
THE AND HE EMPLOYEE THAT HOUSE
TO ASSIST IN THE.
APPLICATION OF A PRODUCT WE
KNOW WE DON'T KNOW OF ANY BOMB
ADVERSE AFFECT FROM THESE
PRODUCTS VERY VERY THOROUGH AND
VERY
QUALIFIED STAFF PERSON WORKING
FOR HIM THAT IT'S BEEN A
PLEASURE TO WORK WITH AND HE.
HAS BEEN MY.
RESOURCE PRETTY MUCH FOR
EVERYTHING THAT I THAT SUBPLOT
RELATED LATELY OKAY.
IN AMERICA. MILLER IS AN INTERN
BY THE TIME. THEY CARRY GOOD WE
HAVE IT ON HIM LATER SO. GREAT
WILL.
SO SO BUT I DO WANT TO MAKE IT
CLEAR TO THE MEMBERS THAT AND
THAT THIS.
THAT THIS BILL THAT IS AN
OPTIMIST PERMISSIVE SO IT ALLOWS
A SCHOOL DISTRICT TO OPT IN AND
THEY CAN PULL OUT ANYTIME.
SO THAT'S NOT REQUIRING THIS
UPON OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS IT'S
THEIR CHOICE UNDER THIS BILL.
BUT THAT'S GREAT IF MADE MIGHT
ADD SOMETHING MISTER CHAIR THE
THAT MAIN FLORIDA COLORADO AND
NEW JERSEY THEIR BILL IS
MANDATED BY THE STATE THAT'S NOT
AN OPTION SO IT'S.
DIFFERENCES THAT WE'VE CHOSEN TO
GO THE WASHINGTON WAY THAT ONE
OF THE QUESTIONS WE RAISED ARM
WAS WHY THEY MANDATED THAT
VERSUS AN OPT AND AND. I THINK
I'VE GOT THE ANSWERS WE WERE
CONCERNED IF IT WAS GOING TO.
A VIOLATION OF FATE AD THAT YOU
WOULDN'T HAVE A FAIR AND OUT YOU
KNOW EQUAL ACCESS TO ALL
SCHOOLS.
ON BUT BECAUSE THAT SPECIAL LIVE
ALBUM WE CAN'T BE IN CONFLICT
WITH FEDERAL LAW SO IF. BETA
SUPPOSEDLY CARD IN THE DECK I'M
LAWYERS HAVE TALKED TO THAT IT'S
NOT A PROBLEM TO OPT THAT OKAY
OKAY BUT WE AYE. VERY MUCH
WELCOME YOUR PARTICIPATION. THAT
MINISTERS ARE EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT VOICE IN THIS
CONVERSATION BECAUSE ULTIMATELY
THE MINISTERS WHO ARE RUNNING.
THE SCHOOLS ON THE GROUND AND TO
AND TO THE CENTER WHICH YOU CAN
REALLY CONTINUE TO WEIGH IN AND
BY THE WAY. IF IT SOMEHOW MAKES
IT.
LESS COMPLICATING LEGALLY. TIED
TO MANDATE AND MAYBE THAT'S
COMMERCE IS NOT HOW I DON'T KNOW
I I THINK BY I BELIEVE THAT
THIS.
THIS APPROACH IS A BETTER ONE
BUT I AND BUT.
WE SHOULD CONTINUE TO HAVE LEGAL
CONVERSATIONS AND WITHOUT A MIND
IF THE BILL. PASSES OUT TODAY
BECAUSE JUDICIARY IN SOME OF THE
SOUND ISSUES YOU RAISE
LIABILITIES HAS A TOUCH OF WILL
BE WILL CERTAINLY BE EXAMINED IN
THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE.
I'M TO OTHER FOLKS WHO WANT TO
RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL
OR.
OPPOSITION INNER.
OKAY.
I THE BILL BEFORE THE COMMITTEE
FOR QUESTIONS AND CENTER LEYVA
AND FOLLOW US IN A PAN.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THAT IS
WHAT TO THINK ABOUT CENTER HILL
FOR BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD
AND I JUST WANT TO COMMEND YOU
BOTH ON AS A MOTHER MYSELF IT
JUST BEING AWESOME MOTHERS. AND
DO WHATEVER NEEDS TO BE DONE TO
HELP YOUR OWN CHILD BUT WITH
THIS BILL YOU'RE ALSO GOING TO
HELP HUNDREDS OF OTHER CHILDREN
SO GREAT JOB.
YOU'RE WELCOME.
ITS IMPACT.
THANK YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOU
TAKING THE AMENDMENTS I JUST
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THE ISSUE
pADMINISTRATORS SIDES WHAT
CLARIFIES THAT THE.
MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION IS
SAME ONE THAT'S BEING THAT'S
USED FOR ALL OTHER FOR BACK UP.
OTHER PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS
AND THERE'S A CERTAIN LEVEL OF
SPECIFICITY OF SOMEONE'S HAVE
FELT MAYBE THOSE FORMS AS
PHYSICIAN AND PEDIATRICIAN.
THAT THAT'S THE KIND OF
INFORMATION THAT THE SCHOOL HAVE
ON FILE.
CORRECT.
WELL THAT'S GOOD AND THAT'S WHY
WE WE DID THAT IN.
THIS YEAR ASKING YOU'RE ASKING
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT THE DUGGAR
YET SO TELL IN INTO ANY EIGHTEEN
TERMS OF THE EXAMINING IT SAYS%
YEAH YOU BECAUSE ON THE
AMENDMENTS IS THAT THERE'S GOING
TO BE A MEDICAL.
ON FILE IT'S RIGHT AND SO I
ASSUME THAT THAT BAD YEAH WHAT'S
ON FILE IS THAT AT THE SAME
LEVEL OF SPECIFICITY DETAIL
THAT.
IS REQUIRED OF ANY OTHER
MEDICATION.
THAT.
THAT'S A PRESCRIPTION
MEDICATION THAT.
A PHYSICIAN ONLY FILL OUT AND
SIGN AND SUBMIT TO THE SCHOOL SO
THAT THE CHILD CAN TAKE THAT
MEDICATION IN THE SCHOOL
SETTING.
BUT IT WOULD BE EXPECTATIONS THE
SAME FORM THAT.
THE REQUIREMENT THAT.
THAT THE PHYSICIAN FILLS OUT
THAT IS A SIMILAR TO A
PRESCRIPTION ONLY RIGHT NOT A
HEART CONDITION WITH SPECIFICITY
IN IT RIGHT BECAUSE IT'S NOT THE
EXACT SAME THING
A PRESCRIPTION CHO LET US NOT
THE SAME THING BUT. ITSELF. AS
SO WHAT HAPPENS IS WHEN A CHILD
NEEDS TO TAKE A PRESCRIPTION
MEDICATION IN SCHOOL.
USUALLY WHAT HAPPENS IS SCHOOL
REQUIRES THAT.
THEIR FOR THE CHILD'S POSITION
SAMA FEATURE XIN FILL OUT A FORM
THAT ACTUALLY HAS STIRRED AT
BACKSEAT SAYS WHAT THE
MEDICATION IS WHEN THERE'S THIS
TO TAKE IT WHAT THE SIDE EFFECTS
ARE. NOW SO IT DOES HAVE
SPECIFIC INFORMATION IN THERE TO
HELP GUIDE THE SCHOOL IN TERMS
TO BE SURE THE CHILD SAFE AND
TAKES IT SAFELY WHICH I HOPE
ACTUALLY ADDRESSES SOME OF THE
ISSUES THAT SCHOOL MINISTERS
BROUGHT UP IN TERMS OF. SOME OF
THEIR CONCERNS ABOUT WHAT IS
THIS THING SO I MEAN BUT YOU'RE
BUT YOU'RE ASKING THE POSITION
TO DO IS ACTUALLY SPECIFICALLY
IDENTIFY WHAT IS THAT.
MEDICATION ARTIST CASE SUBSTANCE
THAT THE CHILD'S ACTUALLY GOING
TO BE TAKING THE PARENTS
ADMINISTERING SO HOPEFULLY THAT
ADDRESSES THAT ISSUE.
IF THOSE LAWS THAT WHAT'S UP
WITH MEDICAL PERMISSIONON FILE
HAS THE SAME SPECIFICITY IS WE
WOULD.
SUPPLY FOR ANY OTHER MEDICATION
THAT HAS TO BE ADMINISTERED IN
THE SCHOOL.
YEAH.
I DON'T I'VE NEVER SEEN WITH THE
BOTH THE RIVER THAT THAT THE
ACTUAL MINISTRATION IS DONE BY
THE PARENT RIGHT BACK BUT LAMBS
AS YOU'RE SAYING THAT THERE'S A
MAN.
SO I APPRECIATE THE MEN THAT IT
SAYS WILL PROVE SCHOOL HAS ON
FILE.
RIGHT SAYING THAT THE CHILD
ALLOWED TO TAKE A MEDICATION.
WHAT I WISH ONE WE?
SHARE THE LANGUAGE.
WITH THEIR STAFF AND.
OKAY AND AND AS IT OF ALL I IN
EXEC IS GONNA GO TO TO DISH OUT
THAT I'M. IF YOU GOT AYE AYE AYE
CAN ONLY BUT A NUMBER HAPPY TO
BE TO MAKE IT YEAH IT IN
WHATEVER'S NECESSARY
UNDERSTANDING THE ADMINISTRATORS
CONCERNED THEY DON'T WANT TO
HAVE ANY.
ACTIVE INVOLVEMENT OR
PARTICIPATION IN.
PARENTS SO THEY WOULD NOT.
BE INVOLVED BUT WHATEVER
SPECIFICITY IS ON THAT
RECOMMENDATION AND WOOD FOR LIFE
AND.
TREAT IT THE SAME WAY WE TREAT
ANY OTHER PRESCRIPTIVE ABOUT
THAT BUT NOT TECHNIQUES COULD WE
WOULD TREAT THE SAME WAY WE
TREAT A PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
THAT ALSO NEED TO BE
ADMINISTERED AT THE SCHOOL. AND
TO PROVIDE THE SAME KIND OF
INFORMATION TO THE SCHOOL AS A
LITTLE HAS THE INSTRUCTIONS AND
UNDERSTANDS WHAT THE CHILD IS
TAKEN RIGHT TO TRACK THE NICE
IDEA FROM YOUR TESTS MAY ASSUME
THAT WAS THE INTENT I JUST.
BACK WHERE FINE APPOINTED ALSO
WENT TO REASSURED THE SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS THAT THERE IS
INFORMATION THAT HELPS GIVE THE
SCHOOL GUIDANCE AND PROTECTION
IN TERMS OF WHAT THE CHILD
ACTUALLY TAKING.
ON THE GRANT IS.
I WE WE WILL BE INJECTED SEE HOW
THAT IS WORK WITH THE COMMITTEE.
ACCOUNT AND IT IS A CLEAR AND
CLARIFY TAKE A LOOK AT THAT BY
SOON THAT'S WHAT THE INTENT IS
THE INTENT OF THESE AGREE
QUESTIONS.
I'M BUDGETS THINKING THAT WE'RE.
BLESSED TO HAVE THE EXPERTISE TO
PETERSON ON THIS COMMITTEE DOES
YOUR YOUR ASKING THE RIGHT
QUESTION SO WHY DON'T WE MAKE
SURE THAT AND. TO AS THE BILL
GETS.
CONSOLIDATED ON THE WAY TO.
HE ONCE BEGIN THE MICROPHONE SO
IT'S ON THE RECORD. I'M SO
SPEAKING FROM A NURSING
PERSPECTIVE THE DOSAGE THE ROUTE
EVERYTHING IS THERE SO WHEN
YOU'RE LOOKING AT THE BOTTLE IT
SPECIFICALLY STATES IN THE
BOTTLE TWENTY EIGHT MILLIGRAMS
OF CBD TO ONE MILLIGRAM TEACH
THE.
IT DOES SPECIFICALLY THE AMOUNT
OF MILLIGRAMS IT WILL BE
RECEIVED AND THEN THE
MILLILITERS THEIR USER SPECIFIC
SYRINGES THAT ARE USED. THE
PRODUCT IS LABELED THE BOTTLE OF
FREEDOM WITH THE PATIENT'S NAME
AND THEN THE PEDIATRICIAN HAS
THE RECOMMENDATION WITH ALL
THOSE THINGS RIGHT ON IT IS IT'S
VERY CLEAR ALL OF THE.
DOSING REQUIREMENTS TO A LOT OF
THAT ARE MAD YEAH NOW IT'S MUCH
AS THEY CAN BE ARE ARE DRESSED
IN A RECOMMENDED ACTION ACTUALLY
WHAT WHAT THE FORM THAT THIS IS
NOT ONLY FILLS OUT. NOTIFIES
EXACTLY WHAT THE SUBSTANCE. ARE
THE DOES SEND WHEN IT'S IT
MISTER DURING THE SCHOOL THAT
HAVE TO GO TO THE OTHER TIMES
ALSO THE POTENTIAL SIDE EFFECTS
THAT THE SCHOOL NEEDS TO BE
CONCERNED ABOUT SO SOME THE
CHILD RECEIVES A MEDICATION AND
SOMETHING HAPPENS THEY KNOW IT'S
ME.
RELATED THE
EDUCATION
AND IT'S SIGNED BY POSITION SO I
MEAN IT'S BASIC INFORMATION
HELPS THE SCHOOL BE SURE THAT
THE CHILD SAFE AND I THINK THAT.
.
I DON'T.
YEAH THEY WILL MAKE SURE THAT
THAT'S IT WAS AND IT NEARLY
THAT'S THAT'S WHAT'S. WHAT'S
CONTAINED IN A NORMAL
MEDICATIONS NAM ARM SO I'VE AND
THAT'S ASSUMING THAT WHEN USED
TO CLEAN AND IT THAT THAT'S OF
MEDICAL THAT THAT'S WHAT WOULD
BE INCLUDED.
THE PROMISE THIS IS A FORM IT'S
GIVEN TO THE SCHOOL FROM THE
DOCTOR. DOWN.

RATHER SELF EXPLANATORY.
AND ONE THAT WE'VE DEBATED EVER
SINCE I'VE ARRIVED HERE. THAT
DON'T USE FOREIGN STUDENTS AS A
REVENUE ENHANCEMENT BOB BLOCKING
OUT ARE CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS.
THE THIRD PROVISION IS WHAT IS
KNOWN AS THE COVERDELL EDUCATION
SAVINGS ACCOUNT ANY ESSAY. IT'S
A TAX ADVANTAGED INVESTMENT
ACCOUNT IN THE UNITED STATES
DESIGNED TO ENCOURAGE SAVINGS TO
COVER FUTURE EDUCATION EXPENSES.
THE SECOND PROVISION COLLEAGUES
IS ONE THAT GIVES HOPE TO
PARENTS ABOUT EDUCATING THEIR
CHILDREN. IF THAT WHICH MEANT OF
THE EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNT
TRUST.
SO LET ME EXPLAIN THAT ONE AT
LANE BECAUSE THAT'S THE FUN ONE
OF THE THREE.
ONE IT WE DIVIDE THE PROP NINETY
EIGHT REVENUES BY THE TOTAL
STUDENTS TO DETERMINE THE ANNUAL
ACCOUNT DEPOSIT FOR ARE SIX
MILLION STUDENTS THAT THAT GOES
INTO.
UNACCOUNTED ESA AN EDUCATIONAL
SAVINGS ACCOUNT.
IT WILL BE OVERSEEN BY THE HEAT
OF THE EDUCATIONAL SAVINGS
ACCOUNT TRANSPORT. IT ALSO
ESTABLISHES A TRUST
ADMINISTRATIVE FUND TO COVER THE
COSTS
TO EARMARKED THESE ACCOUNTS.
AND THAT SHOULD NOT EXCEED ONE
PERCENT OF THE PROGRAM FUND.
WE'VE JUST DE THAT SENATE
APPROVED AND GOVERNOR BROWN
SIGNED LAST YEAR.
.
SECURE CHOICE AND SO I'M SURE
THERE'S WILL BE SIX MILLION
PARTICIPANTS APPETITE IS
IMPLEMENTED SO WE HAVE THE
SOFTWARE TO ABLE TO MONITOR ALL
THE ACCOUNTS.
THE BALL THAT STUDENTS IN THIS
STATE INTO. WOULD BATTLE BE ALL
DONE ELECTRONICALLY NUMBER FIVE
WE DISPERSE FUNDS MONTHLY TO AN
ELIGIBLE SCHOOL MOST LIKELY THE
CURRENT HOME SCHOOL FOR MOST OF
US. ARE STUDENTS.
OR CAN GO TO A CHARTER SCHOOL
AN ACCREDITED PRIVATE SCHOOL OR
VOCATIONAL TRAINING INSTITUTION.
SIX THIS GIVES PARENTS AND
STUDENTS.
THE WORD CHOICE.
SEVEN UNUSED FUNDS ACCUMULATE
OVER THE YEARS THAT'S ELIGIBLE
TO FIND A COLLEGE EDUCATION IT
FOLLOWS THE STUDENT WE ARE.
TRYING TO RAISE.
GOOD STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA ZA
AGE THIS EMPOWERS THE CONSUMERS
ESPECIALLY THE LATINO AND BLACK
COMMUNITIES TO A SELECT
EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS. BEST
SUITED FOR THEIR SCHOOL AGE
CHILDREN AND TO BE GIVE THEM
HOPE FOR THE POTENTIAL. TO FUND
COLLEGE AT TWO OF THE BEST
COLLEGE SYSTEMS IN THE NATION.
BUT THE COST OF LIVING.
OF HOUSING.
CONSUMING SOME FIFTY PERCENT.
OF DISPOSABLE INCOME FOR MANY IN
CALIFORNIA THIS WOULD BE A
GODSEND.
THAT IS VIRTUALLY.
IN ITS FIRST WEEK COST NEUTRAL
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
COLLEAGUES THIS IS A BIG HAIRY
AUDACIOUS GOAL.
IT WILL IMPROVE THE TEST SCORES
OF OUR SIX MILLION STUDENTS.
IT WILL IMPROVE OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AS THEY COMPETE FOCUS
MORE ATTENTION ON THEIR RETAIN
STUDENTS AND CONTRIBUTE TOWARD
THE OVERALL TEAM EFFORT TO GET.
OUR STUDENTS WHO WANT TO GO TO
COLLEGE THE OPPORTUNITY TO DO
SO.
COLLEGE COLLEAGUES COLOR FORMULA
HAS FOLLOWED THE SAME
ORGANIZATIONAL EDUCATION
STRUCTURE FOR DECADES.
THE RESULTS ARE NOT IMPRESSIVE.
AND THOSE WHO WISH TO PRESERVE
THIS MEDIOCRE AND STRUGGLING
PARADIGM WILL BE HERE TO OPPOSE
THESE TWO BILLS.
PARENTS WANT A GOOD EDUCATION
FOR THEIR KIDS.
EVERYONE WANTS PROGRESS.
CHANGE THEY DO NOT LIKE.
BUT IT'S TIME TO GET
UNCOMFORTABLE.
COLLEAGUES S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY
FOUR CHANGES EVERYTHING IT IS
THE IT IS OUTSIDE OF OUR
GOVERNMENTAL BOX.
IT WILL GIVE CALIFORNIA'S
UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES HOPE FOR
THE FUTURE.
BECAUSE WE KNOW SOMETHING IS
WRONG WHEN WE HAVE STUDIES THAT
SHOW THAT MUCH OF A GOOD CHUNK
OF OUR. PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS.
SEND THEIR CHILDREN TO PRIVATE
SCHOOLS.
THIS LEGISLATURE NEEDS TO BE
VISIONARY. CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
ARE DEMANDING REFORMS YOU KNOW
SOMETHING IS INHERENTLY WRONG.
WHEN PARENTS ARE FIGHTING FOR
MORE CHARTER SCHOOLS.
BUT INVESTED MILLIONS IN LAST
YEAR'S.
WHAT'S ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT BOARD MEMBER RACES
ELECTING PRO CHARTER SCHOOL
CANDIDATES.
COLLEAGUES INSTEAD OF PARTIAL
CHOICE.
LET'S GIVE FULL CHOICE.
S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY FOUR AND
HAVE C. A. NINE UPSET THIS OP
APPLE CART BUT I BELIEVE IN THE
RIGHT WAY. IT WILL MAKE
EDUCATION BETTER FOR FUTURE
GENERATIONS

OPPORTUNITY OF A MORE
PERSONALIZED EDUCATIONAL
EXPERIENCE FOR A WHILE
CONTINUING TO BE PROTECTED BY
THE NONPROFIT AND ACCREDITATION
REQUIREMENTS OF ALL

PASSIONATE AND HANDS ON
EDUCATORS.
THOSE WHOM HOME SCHOOL ARE
ACKNOWLEDGED AND GIVEN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SEE THEIR
SACRIFICE AND INVESTMENT.
IN THEIR STUDENTS.
HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO MORE
EASILY ALLOW A GREAT COLLEGE
EDUCATION
WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT THE
BALANCING ACT SO OFTEN REQUIRED
BETWEEN SELF EDUCATING WORKING
AND SAVING FOR THEIR CHILD'S
COLLEGE EDUCATION.
CALIFORNIA'S KNOWN FOR BEING
BOTH INNOVATIVE AND PROGRESSIVE
CHOICE TWENTY TWENTY BELIEVES
THAT THIS BILL ALLOWS
CALIFORNIA'S EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
A. CONTINUED EXPANSION IN BOTH.
A VISA OPTIONS.
SENATE BILL THIRTEEN FORTY FOURS
PROGRESSIVENESS CONTINUES TO
GROW CALIFORNIA'S CURRENT
INITIATIVES A BY INCREASING
LOCAL CONTROL AND INVOLVEMENT IN
OUR EDUCATIONAL SERVICES.
AT YOU CAN'T GET ANYMORE LOCAL.
THEN PARENTAL INVOLVEMENT IN

SENATE BILL THIRTEEN FORTY
FOURTH INNOVATION WILL RESULT IN
INCREASED FUNDING. FOR LOCAL
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL
STUDENTS. INDIVIDUAL CHOICE

STUDENTS AND THEIR PARENTS
PROVIDING A PENSION BUT
POTENTIAL FREE COLLEGE OR
VOCATIONAL EDUCATION OPPORTUNITY
TO EVERY CALIFORNIA STUDENT
WHILE ALLOWING ALL STUDENTS THE
FREEDOM TO EXPATRIATE WING
SYSTEMS. IRRESPECTIVE OF THEIR
LOCALE OVER INCOME THANK YOU.
THIS REDUCE QUICKLY IT COULD YOU
I MEAN HOW IS IT THAT THIS AND
THAT BRING MORE MONEY TO SCHOOLS
WHEN.
BUT IT IS IN A.
IT'S BEEN VERY GENERALLY
SPEAKING AND AS A NON EXPERT.
CENTER MARK POINTED OUT THE
CURRENT FUNDING FOR ITS UPPER
STUDENT IN CALIFORNIA SIXTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS PER YEAR.
THIS BILL WOULD ALLOW PUT
ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS INTO
EDUCATIONAL SO.
SO EVERY CHILD EXITED THE
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL WOULD
TAKE ELEVEN THOUSAND DOLLARS
WITH THEM LEAVING IN AN
ADDITIONAL FIVE THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
FOR THE TRADITIONAL PUBLIC
SCHOOL.
SO YOU'RE JUST GONNA DISMANTLE
THE COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION.
AND IT'S BEEN A.
THIRD PARTITION AND THEY.
THIS.
IT'S ABOUT THE PLAN FOR THE NOT
AT ALL.
OKAY.
OKAY I'M.
NOT SURE HOW THAT'S UP BUT LET'S
LET'S KEEP GOING.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE. MY NAME IS
REBECCA FRIEDRICH'S I'VE SERVED
AS A TEACHER IN CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC SCHOOLS FOR TWENTY EIGHT
YEARS.
I'VE PERSONALLY WITNESSED THE
PLIGHTS OF HUNDREDS OF CHILDREN
WHOSE LIVES HAVE BEEN NEGATIVELY
IMPACTED.
BECAUSE THEIR PARENTS DID NOT
HAVE THE AUTHORITY TO
CHOOSE COOLS THAT COULD BEST
MEET THE NEEDS OF THEIR
CHILDREN.
IN ADDITION I SERVED AS THE
LOCAL TEACHERS UNION
REPRESENTATIVE TRYING TO MAKE
VOICES OF TEACHERS LIKE MYSELF
HEARD.
I WAS NOT HEARD BUT RATHER I WAS
MOCKED.
SILENCED AND LABELED RADICAL
RIGHT WIENER.
FOR DARING TO SUPPORT SCHOOL
CHOICE.
ON BEHALF OF FAMILIES WHO NEED
SCHOOL CHOICE AND THE GREAT
TEACHERS WHO SERVE THEM I AM
HONORED TO TESTIFY BEFORE YOU
TODAY IN SUPPORT. OF SENATOR
MORE LOCKS S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY
FOUR THE EDUCATION SAVINGS
ACCOUNT ACT OF TWENTY TWENTY.
NICOLE A CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL
SOPHOMORE.
SUFFERS FROM ABSENCE SEIZURES.
AFTER HER DIAGNOSIS IN SECOND
GRADE.
SHE WAS ASSIGNED AN INDIVIDUAL
EDUCATION PLAN IEP. AND WAS
ASSIGNED TO RECEIVE SPECIAL
SERVICES FROM A RESOURCE
TEACHER.
BUT HER MOTHER SAYS THOUGH THE
RESOURCE TEACHER WAS VERY SWEET.
SHE WAS QUOTE COMPLETELY
OVERWHELMED SO NICOLE DID NOT
GET ALL THE HELP SHE NEEDED.
THE THE COLE'S MOTHER WAS HIGHLY
INVOLVED THE SCHOOL WOULD NOT
PROVIDE BETTER ASSISTANCE.
AND PASSED NICOLE ON TO THE NEXT
GRADE LEVELS EVERY YEAR.
COMPLETELY UNPREPARED FOR HIGHER
LEARNING SOME THE COOL
TRAGICALLY EARNED ALL DIS AND
DEATHS THROUGHOUT ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL.
I WORKED WITH NICOLE MULTIPLE
TIMES.
AND ON EVERY SINGLE OCCASION SHE
UNDERSTOOD THE WORK QUICKLY AND
COMPLETELY.
IT WAS OBVIOUS THAT SHE COULD
LEARN EASILY BUT WAS NOT
RECEIVING THE RIGHT SUPPORT FROM
HER PUBLIC SCHOOL.
BY SIXTH GRADE NICOLE WAS SO
DEPRESSED OVER HER FAILURES BUT
SHE HATED SCHOOL.
GETTING HER THERE WAS A DAILY
NIGHTMARE FOR HER PARENTS.
SHE MISSED A LOT OF SCHOOL DUE
TO STRESS HEADACHES.
AND HER DIESEL NEFSS PERSISTED.
DESPERATE FOR A BETTER
EDUCATIONAL SITUATION FOR NICOLE
HER PARENTS WERE RELIEVED TO
FIND A CHARTER SCHOOL IN THEIR
NEIGHBORHOOD.
NICOLE ATTENDED THE CHARTER
DURING SEVENTH GRADE. HER
CONFIDENCE SOARED PROTEST SCORES
WERE UP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN
HER ENTIRE LIFE.
PROCEDURAL ISSUES EVEN
DECREASED.
AND SHE EARNED ALL EIGHTIES AND
BEES.
SHE TOLD ME SHE WAS POPULAR.
THOUGH THE CHARTER WAS
SUCCESSFUL WIT THREE HUNDRED
OTHER FAMILIES AND NICOLE'S
ENTIRE LIFE IMPROVED.
THAT CHARTER WAS CLOSE DOWN OVER
IN ATTENDANCE AREA TECHNICALITY.
THAT WAS SO CONVOLUTED THAT THE
SCHOOL LEADERSHIP AND THE
PARENTS WHO FOUGHT FOR YEARS TO
OPEN THAT WONDERFUL CHARTER
SCHOOL.
STILL CANNOT FULLY UNDERSTAND
WHAT WENT WRONG.
THEY ARE ALL DEVASTATED.
SINCE HER PARENTS DON'T HAVE THE
MONEY FOR PRIVATE SCHOOL AND
CANNOT HOME SCHOOL BECAUSE THEY
WORK. NICOLE'S NOW A SOPHOMORE
NAVIGATING A TRADITIONAL PUBLIC
HIGH SCHOOL SHE'S VERY STRESSED.
AND SHE IS NOW SUFFERING FROM
GRAND MAL SEIZURES SOMETIMES
MORE THAN ONCE A WEEK.
I SAW HER ON CHRISTMAS
SHE TOLD ME SHE'S TOO STUPID FOR
COLLEGE.
SHE LAUGHED AS SHE MOCKED
HERSELF BECAUSE WHEN YOU FEEL
DISCOURAGED AND HOPELESS IT'S
BETTER TO LAUGH.
THAN TO CRY.
I HUGGED HER AND I TOLD YOU THAT
SHE WAS WRONG ABOUT HERSELF AS A
TEACHER I KNEW SHE WAS BRIGHT
AND BEAUTIFUL AND CAPABLE BUT
SHE WAS STUCK IN A SCHOOL
ENVIRONMENT THAT JUST COULD NOT
MEET HER NEEDS.
I SAW A GLIMMER OF HOPE IN HER
EYES FOR JUST A SECOND. BUT HER
REPORT CARDS WON THE DEBATE.
NICOLE IS BACK TO BURNING DEASON
APPS IN EVERY SINGLE SUBJECT
EXCEPT DRAMA.
THE TEACHERS UNIONS LOBBY YOU
EVERY SINGLE DAY WHILE TEACHERS
LIKE MYSELF ARE BUSY IN THE
CLASSROOM AND CANNOT COME SEE
YOU. AND THEY TELL YOU THE
TEACHERS LIKE ME ARE AGAINST
SCHOOL CHOICE AND THAT TOO
SAVINGS ACCOUNTS.
THEY TELL YOU THAT KIDS WILL BE
HARMED BY CHOICE.
MY HUSBAND CHARLES A PROFESSOR
AND I HAVE BEEN FORCED TO PAY
THESE TEACHERS UNIONS FOR
SEVENTY COLLECTIVE YEARS.
THOUGH THEY FORCIBLY TAKE OUR
MONEY AND SAY THEY SPEAK ON OUR
BEHALF YOU NEED TO KNOW THAT
WHEN THEUNIONS LOBBY YOU THEY
ARE NOT SPEAKING ON EHALF. OF
TEACHERS LIKE US WHO WANT WHAT'S
BEST FOR THE CHILDREN WE'VE BEEN
HIRED TO SERVE. THE SPEAK ON
BEHALF OF UNION LEADERSHIP AND
THE POLITICAL AGENDA.
AND EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNT
WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE COLE'S
FAMILY OPTIONS. SHE COULD BE
THRIVING TODAY INSTEAD OF BEING
DEMEANED TO ALL THESE AND ASKS
IF CALIFORNIA LEADERSHIP ALLOWED
TAX DOLLARS TO FOLLOW THE CHILD.
INSTEAD OF FORCING KIDS TO
FOLLOW THE MONEY INTO SCHOOLS
THAT ARE NOT MEETING THEIR
NEEDS.
IT'S TOO LATE FOR NICOLE BUT I'M
HOPING AND PRAYING THAT HER
STORY WILL INSPIRE YOU TO DO
WHAT'S RIGHT FOR THE REST OF
CALIFORNIA'S CHILDREN. AND THE
FAMILIES AND TEACHERS WHO SERVE
THEM THANK YOU.
YOU CAN JUST ONE CLERK A
QUESTION YOU MENTION THERE IS A
ATTENDANCE AREA TECHNICALITY
ASSOCIATED WITH THE CHARTER
SCHOOL YOU COULD COULD YOU TELL
US WHAT THAT WAS. I MENTION THAT
IT WAS VERY CONVOLUTED SO I
DON'T FULLY UNDERSTAND IT MYSELF
BUT IT'S SOMETHING ABOUT SOME OF
THESE CHARTERS ARE PERMITTED.
TO.
.
I EXIST OUT SIDE OF A PARTICULAR
SCHOOL DISTRICT BECAUSE THEY'RE
MEETING THE NEEDS OF SPECIAL
KIDS I AM NOT AN EXPERT ON THIS
I JUST KNOW THAT THIS CHILD AND.
MANY FAMILIES WERE HURT. AND SO
BECAUSE OF THAT.
SOME TECHNICALITIES SOME LAW
THAT CAME DOWN REQUIRED THESE
SCHOOLS TO CLOSE DOWN. BUT WHAT
BOTHERED ME ABOUT IT WAS THEY
WERE ALL PERMITTED TO GO BACK
INTO THE PRIVATE THE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS RIGHT THERE IN THE MONEY
GO BACK INTO THOSE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
BUT THIS OUTSTANDING SCHOOL
WHERE WHERE SCORES WERE BEING
BROUGHT UP IN CHILDREN WERE
THRIVING WAS CLOSED DOWN NONE OF
THE PARENTS INCLUDING THE CALLS
PARENTS UNDERSTAND WHAT
HAPPENED.
THE WHAT IT CALLS MOTHER TOLD ME
THAT THERE WAS A QUOTE GRIEVANCE
FILED AGAINST THE SCHOOL FOR
ATTENDANCE ISSUE.
OKAY LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT
THAT METHINKS YOU YET SO I AM.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY YES
MA'AM.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
ARM.
ONE OF THE MOST ATTRACTIVE
FEATURES OF AN EDUCATION SAVINGS
ACCOUNT. AND THE EVIDENCE IS
COMING TO BEAR HOW THIS IS
WORKING IN PLACES LIKE ARIZONA.
IS THE ABILITY OF PARENTS TO USE
THEIR ACCOUNTS TO PAY FOR
COLLEGE TUITION.
WE SPEND ABOUT ONE POINT FIVE
TRILLION IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT
AND THAT'S ABOUT FORTY FOUR
MILLION BORROWERS RIGHT NOW THE
AVERAGE COLLEGE STUDENT IN
TWENTY SIXTEEN GRADUATED WITH
THIRTY SEVENTH.
ONE DOLLAR.
IN STUDENT LOAN DEBT.
.
AND IN ARIZONA THE EDUCATION
SAVINGS ACCOUNT THERE ON AVERAGE
PARENTS ARE ROLLING OVER ABOUT
TWENTY SIX PERCENT.
OF THE ESSAY EVERY YEAR TO USE
FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
IN CALIFORNIA IF THE ESSAY WAS
POTENTIALLY ELEVEN THOUSAND
DOLLARS PER YOU YEAR AND FAMILY
SAY BETWEEN TEN AND TWENTY
PERCENT.
THAT WOULD BE.
PERHAPS THE MOST TWENTY TWO
HUNDRED DOLLARS OVER THIRTEEN
YEARS SO YOU COULD HAVE TWENTY
EIGHT THOUSAND DOLLARS
POTENTIALLY OVER THE LIFETIME OF
THE CHILD TO GO INTO.THE ESSAY
TOWARDS THEIR COLLEGE EDUCATION.
RIGHT NOW IN CALIFORNIA THE
AVERAGE NET PRICE AND TWENTY
SEVENTEEN.
FOR YOU SEE LA WAS FIFTEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS FOR A STUDENT
WITH AVERAGE AID AND THE AVERAGE
NET PRICE FOR LOW INCOME STUDENT
WAS NINE THOUSAND DOLLARS.
AT CAL STATE UNIVERSITY THE
AVERAGE NET PRICE FOR AN AVERAGE
STUDENT WITH OUR JADE WAS
THIRTEEN THOUSAND. AND FOR A LOW
INCOME STUDENT WAS ELEVEN
THOUSAND.
YOU CAN SEE THAT IF FAMILIES
WERE ABLE TO USE THE ESSAYS OVER
THE LIFETIME OF THE CHILD
POTENTIALLY. THAT WOULD HAVE.
TWO YEARS POSSIBLY COVERED OF
TUITION OR THEY WOULD LARGELY BE
ABLE TO WIPE OUT THE STUDENT
LOAN DEBT FOR THEIR STUDENTS.
SO THIS IS A REALLY A GOOD WAY
THAT.
STUDENTS AND FAMILIES CAN PLAN
FOR THEIR HIGHER EDUCATION
EXPENSES ESPECIALLY LOW INCOME
FAMILIES THAT DON'T HAVE OTHER
MEANS TO SAVE FOR.
THE SECOND POINT I'D LIKE TO
MAKE IS JUST THAT SCHOOL CHOICE
ACROSS THE COUNTRY HAS HAD
BETTER OUTCOMES. I KNOW PEOPLE
LIKE TO SAY THAT THE EVIDENCE IS
MIXED
WHEN YOU LOOK AT GOLD ASSIGNMENT
RANDOM ASSIGNMENT STUDIES WHERE
THEY ACTUALLY USE A LOTTERY.
THERE'S ELEVEN OUT OF SEVENTEEN
STUDIES ON PRIVATE SCHOOL CHOICE
THAT SHOW IT IMPROVED
ACHIEVEMENT.
ESPECIALLY AMONG DISADVANTAGED
STUDENTS ONLY TO SHOW.
NEGATIVE A FAX MEASURED AFTER
ONE YEAR OF THE PROGRAM AND IN
BOTH OF THOSE CASES AFTER THREE
YEARS OF BEING IN THE ABOUT.
PROGRAM VERY SEVERELY LOW INCOME
AND LOW SCORING STUDENTS CATCH
UP OVER TIME. THIS GOES BEYOND
TEST SCORES SCHOOL INTEGRATION
IS AN IMPORTANT CONCERN IN
CALIFORNIA EIGHT OUT OF NINE
RIGOROUS STUDIES ON THE TOPIC
SHOW THAT SCHOOL CHOICE
INCREASES INTEGRATION. AND NON
INCREASE SEGREGATION.
CHOICE ALSO PROMOTES ON COULD
CITIZENSHIP EIGHT OF ELEVEN
EMPIRICAL STUDIES SHOW THAT
CIVIC VALUES SUCH AS TOLERATION
FOR THE RIGHTS OF OTHERS
VOLUNTEERING AND CIVIC KNOWLEDGE
HAVE MORE POSITIVE EFFECTS FOR
SCHOOL CHOICE PARTICIPANTS.
ZERO STUDIES SUGGEST THAT THESE
PROGRAMS ACTUALLY ó ROAD CIVIC
PARTICIPATION OUR CIVIC VALUES.
AND FINALLY SCHOOL CHOICE MAKES
PUBLIC SCHOOLS BETTER AS WELL
TWENTY FIVE OF TWENTY SIX
EMPIRICAL STUDIES FOUND POSITIVE
ACADEMIC A FAX
FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT WERE
COMPETING. FOR SCHOOL CHOICE.
AND THE FINAL POINT THAT I'D
LIKE TO MEET MAKE IS THIS IS
REALLY A CHANCE TO HAVE TRUE
EQUITY.
THE POINT OF THE LOCAL CONTROL
FUNDING FORMULA AND THE INTENT
OF THE LEGISLATURE WAS TO
ACTUALLY HAVE THE WAITED STUDENT
FUNDING. GO TO LOW INCOME
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS IN THEIR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS
RIGHT NOW IN MANY LARGEST
DISTRICTS LA UNIFIED FOR
EXAMPLE.
A LOT OF THAT MONEY IS GOING TO
DISTRICT WIDE SPENDING AND YOU
SEE. BRUCE FULLER FROM U
BERKELEY HAS DONE SEVERAL
STUDIES ON THIS AND.
WE HAVE A NEW STUDY AT THE
REASON FOUNDATION ON LA UNIFIED
SPECIFICALLY COMING OUT AND THE
MONEY IS NOT GOING TO THE
SCHOOLS IN WHICH THE
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS ARE
ENROLLED. IN FACT IN LA UNIFIED
BOTH THE UC BERKELEY WORK IN OUR
WORK SHOW BUT THE SCHOOLS WITH
THE HIGHEST NUMBER OF
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS RIGHT NOW
ACTUALLY ARE GETTING THAT MONEY.
COM AND SO WHAT THIS DOES IS YOU
CAN ACTUALLY WAIT.
THE BOMB ESA SO THAT THE
STUDENTS THAT HAVE.
WAITED MONEY COMING TO THEM
BASED ON BEING FOSTER CARE
STUDENT OR DISADVANTAGED OR
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER COULD
RECEIVE MORE FUNDS BUT THIS
WOULD ACTUALLY. FOLLOW THEM IT'S
VERY AGNOSTIC IN EARLIER.
THE SHARE WAS ASKING ABOUT
HOW THIS WOULD DISMANTLE THE
STATE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION OR
WOULD DISMANTLE COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION YOUR DISTRICTS AND I'D
JUST LIKE TO END WITH THAT.
THIS IS REALLY AGNOSTIC THIS IS
REALLY NO DIFFERENT THAN THE
STUDENT MOVING FROM RIVERSIDE
COUNTY FROM LA COUNTY OR A
STUDENT GOING TO A CHARTER
SCHOOL. IT DOESN'T DO ANYTHING
TO DISMANTLE THE RESOURCES THAT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE DISTRICTS
ALREADY HAVE TO COMPETE WITH
OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE
STATE THAT HAVE TO COMPETE WITH
CHARTER SCHOOLS. AND WE NEVER
SAY THAT RIVERSIDE COUNTY SHOULD
STOP BUILDING SCHOOLS BECAUSE LA
COUNTY LOST TWO HUNDRED AND
FORTY FIVE STUDENTS OVER THE
LAST FIFTEEN YEARS LARGELY TO
COUNTY SURROUNDING LA. THIS IS
JUST A FUNDING DISTRIBUTION
MECHANISM IT DOESN'T TO ANYTHING
TO DISMANTLE LEVELS OF
GOVERNMENT OR SCHOOL DISTRICTS
IT'S JUST FUNDING THAT FALLS
STUDENT IN THE SAME WAY THAT ARE
CURRENTLY FALL ASSIST YOU TO.
WELL I WAS JUST TRYING TO
UNDERSTAND HOW IT WOULD BE THAT
THERE'D. BE A BIT THAT SOMEHOW
BY GIVING ALL THIS MONEY TO NON
PUBLIC SCHOOLS THERE WOULD
SOMEHOW BE MORE MONEY FOR THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS IF YOU DON'T
INCREASE THE TOTAL AMOUNT AMOUNT
EDUCATION. ACT THAT CLEANS I
GUESS THE POINT THAT BOB WAS
TRYING TO MAKE IS THAT IF IT'S A
LOWER AMOUNT.
THERE'S ACTUALLY PER PUPIL MONEY
LEFT IN THE A PROP NINETY EIGHT
FUNDS WERE THE STATE GENERAL
FUND THAT IS NOT NOW SERVING
STUDENTS
YEAH I DIED AND I DON'T THINK
IT'S BUSINESS MISUNDERSTANDING
OF THE WEIGHT PROP AND IT WORKS.
WHAT I'D SAY IS THAT WE WE
TYPICALLY ASK FOR I'M YOU KNOW
FOR TWO WITNESSES PER SIDE I
I'M?
I KNOW YOU'RE HERE HAPPY TO.
HEAR TESTIMONY BUT I'VE. GOT A
VERY LONG AGENDA TODAY AND I'M
I'M HOPING THAT WILL.
DOUBLE THE EXPEDITE AB ALL THESE
BILLS SO.
ABSOLUTELY HIM.
THE BIG PICTURE.
PLEASE PRESS YOUR LITTLE I'M
DEPEND ON A MAC FINE OTHER YOU
GOT YOU GOT YOU GOT TALK ABOUT
IT. A WE ARE PROGRESS IN THIS
COUNTRY WHICH GO TO NEEDY
COLLEGE STUDENTS AT THE BIG
FAVORITES OF THE OF REPUBLICANS
DEMOCRATS LIBERALS CONSERVATIVES
THE TEACHERS UNIONS.
IT PAUL RECIPIENTS CAN TAKE
THEIR TAXPAYER FUNDED GRANTS AND
ATTEND RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS.
PRIVATE SCHOOLS OF COURSE A
RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS LIKE NOTRE
DAME AND BRING HIM OUT.
BUT IN THE CASE THROUGH TWELVE
LEVEL VOUCHERS ARE. MANY
PEOPLE'S WORST NIGHTMARE I DON'T
GET IT.
WHY IS THE PRIVATE OPTION OKAY
FOR COLLEGE STUDENTS BUT NOT
HIGH SCHOOL KIDS?
IT'S THE SAME DEAL THE GI BILL
THE GI BILL IS A A VOUCHER BILL.
THE COUNTRY'S FIRST.
SERIOUS ABOUT YOUR BILL SIGNED
IN NINETEEN FORTY FOUR BINGO TO
PRETTY MUCH ANY SCHOOL IN THE
COUNTRY PUBLIC OR PRIVATE.
EVEN WITH POOR PEOPLE PEOPLE GET
SLAPPED CARDS USED TO BE CALLED
FOOD STAMPS.
I DON'T HAVE TO GO THE
GOVERNMENT STORE THEY CAN TAKE
THEIR GOVERNMENT ISSUED MONEY.
AND TAKE IT TO RALPH'S OR ANY
OTHER. PRIVATE SUPERMARKET I
DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY K. THROUGH
TWELVE EDUCATION CAN FOLLOW.
THAT REGIMENT THANK YOU.
IT'S GOOD GOOD POINT.
THE PROJECT AND.
OKAY.
AS THE FOLKS WANT TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
MY I'M FOLKS WHO WANT TO RAISE
CONCERNS OUR OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL. IRAN.
WHEN WE GIVE THEM THE
OPPORTUNITY COMES.
A BY THE WAY.
IT'S IMPORTANT FOR PEOPLE WE
WERE HEARING TWO BILLS AT THE
SAME TIME WE GOT. THE SP
THIRTEEN FORTY FOUR AND ALSO AS
CA SIXTEEN WAS THE CONSUMMATE SO
IF FOLKS CAN SPECIFY.
I JUST KEEP THAT IN MIND AS YOU
LOSES ME EXPRESS SUPPORTER
OPPOSITION I ASSUME. SAME FOLKS
ARE SUPPORTING BOTH THEIR OF.
THEIR SPORTING BOTH SIMPLE TO
OPPOSING BOTH OPPOSING BOTH BUT.
KEEP THAT IN MIND PLEASE.
ERICA HOFFMAN ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION.
ON BEHALF OF. AN OPPOSITION I
SHOULD SAY TO BOTH SB THIRTEEN
FORTY FOUR AND A CA SIXTEEN.
CURRENTLY PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA OUR DOOR TORREY SLEEP
UNDER FUNDED.
WHAT THIS BILL DOES AT LEAST IN
OUR VIEW?
WHICH YEAR FUNDING AWAY FROM
LOCAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS. AND PLACES
THOSE FUNDS INTO ACCOUNTS OF
STUDENTS THAT COULD GO TO GO TO
ANY SCHOOL IN THE STATE.
REGARDLESS OF THE PUBLIC OR
PRIVATE.
.
WE SEE THIS IS CREATING A NEW.
BURDEN ON THE STATE IN BILLIONS
OF DOLLARS DRIVING DOWN
POTENTIAL FOR FUNDING OF LOCAL
SCHOOLS. BECAUSE YOU NOW TAKEN
THAT MONEY OUTSIDE OF THE
SYSTEM.
A. FEW EXPERIENCE WAS WORKING TO
INCREASE PER PUPIL FUNDING. TO
REVERSE THE DECADES LONG. A
DISINCENTIVE R. DISINVESTMENT
PUBLIC EDUCATION ADDING THIS NEW
FINANCIAL OBLIGATION WOULD
OVERWHELM THE ABILITY. OF THE
STATE TO PROVIDE FAIR AND FULL
FUNDING FOR ALL STUDENTS THAT
ARE IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
OUR OPPOSITION IS NOT JUST ABOUT
MONEY HOWEVER. NEITHER OF THESE
BILLS WOULD REQUIRE THAT PUBLIC
SCHOOLS OR THE OTHER SCHOOLS
THAT STUDENTS WOULD ATTEND. ON
THAT WOULD BE ELIGIBLE FOR THESE
PAYMENTS.
THAT THEY TEACH TO THE
CALIFORNIA STATE PUBLIC
STANDARDS.
THAT WE HAVE FOR STUDENTS THAT
THEY PARTICIPATE IN THE STATE
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM OR FOLLOW ANY
THE BASIC PROVISIONS OF
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY
THAT NOW DO APPLY TO PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
BOTH AT A LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT
LEVEL AND AT A CHARTER SCHOOL
LEVEL AND FOR THESE REASONS WE
DO OPPOSE BOTH THESE MEASURES
THANK YOU.
Q. ANSWER.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE RON RAP
ON BEHALF OF THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS I HAVE A
RECOMMENDED OPPOSE.
ON THIS BILL WE HAVEN'T HAD A
FORMAL POLICY MAKING.

I'VE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO
WORK ON STATE BASED EDUCATION
POLICY OVER THE LAST TWENTY FIVE
YEARS I FOURTEEN TWENTY SEVEN
STATES I'VE SEEN VOUCHER
PROGRAMS ACROSS THE COUNTRY. AND
THEY HAVE.
THEY HAVE BEEN DISMAL MOST
RECENTLY IN OHIO WHICH HAS FIVE
VOUCHER PROGRAMS THE RESEARCH IS
CLEAR IT HAS ABSOLUTELY NO
POSITIVE IMPACT ON STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT. I BELIEVE THAT.
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS HAVE
MULTIPLE CHOICES TO GO TO TWO
SCHOOLS THAT THAT THEY CHOOSE TO
GO TO INCLUDING MAGNETS CHARTERS
PRIVATE SCHOOLS. ON THIS TAKES
CALIFORNIA BACKWARDS WERE
SUPPOSED TO BE A LEADER AND.
EDUCATION NATIONALLY.
THIS IS ARCHAIC.

THIRD IN THE COUNTRY AND PER
PEOPLE ADJUSTED FUNDING? LET'S
BUILD UPON OUR SUCCESSES AND
THAT'S MAKE CALIFORNIA PUBLIC
SCHOOLS THE BEST IN THE COUNTRY

AVAILABLE FOR HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATES IN THE STATE IS TO
CONTINUE TO INVEST IN OUR SYSTEM
THANK YOU. THANK YOU.
KERN FRENCH REPRESENTING THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WHERE
ALSO IN OPPOSITION TO THE SCA AS
WELL AS THE BILL. BECAUSE OF
THE-PROVISIONS THAT WOULD
EFFECTIVELY ELIMINATE OUR
ABILITY TO ADMIT NONRESIDENT
STUDENTS.

RESIDENT STUDENTS ARE A FUNCTION
OF STATE FUNDING PROVIDED FOR
THAT AND NON RESIDENT STUDENTS
ARE A SEPARATE CATEGORY PRINT.
THAT'S RIGHT.

ABOUT YOUR UNION BUT THE
DIFFERENCE WHEN YOU TALK ABOUT
LOBBYISTS IS THAT WHEN UNIONS
COME UP TO LOBBYISTS ON ISSUES.
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE
THEY REPRESENT THEIR WORRIED
ABOUT WORKERS MAKING ENOUGH
MONEY SO THEY CAN SUPPORT THEIR
FAMILIES. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT
WORKERS HAVING A PENSION SO THAT
THEY CAN RETIRE AND THEY'RE ALSO
WORRIED ABOUT PEOPLE THEIR
WORKERS HAVING HEALTH CARE
BENEFITS SO I AM SORRY THAT YOU
ARE DISGRUNTLED AND YOU DON'T
SEE THAT. I COULD NOT DISAGREE
WITH YOU MORE AND JUST REMEMBER
THAT WORDS AND ACTIONS HAVE
CONSEQUENCES AND YOUR WORDS AND
ACTIONS WILL ULTIMATELY HARM
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. AND THE
CHILDREN THAT YOU CAN'T CLAIM TO
BE WORRIED ABOUT THANK YOU.
OKAY PROPERTY CENTER HAS SO FAR
I'VE BEEN OTHER QUESTIONS OR
THOUGHTS FROM THE COMMITTEE.
BUT CENTER WILK.
WHY NOT?
I'M IMPRESSED BY THE RAY ABOUT
THE ARRAY OF OPPOSITION.
TO TO YOUR PROPOSAL.
.
IF IF I WERE YOU BEAUTY STOLE MY
COMMENT SAID ABOUT THE PELL
GRANT WHEN PEOPLE PEOPLE COME
FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD TO COME
TO AMERICA FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
BECAUSE IT'S SO GOOD. ONE OF THE
REASONS I BELIEVE IT IS SO GOOD
IS BECAUSE THERE IS CONSUMER
CHOICE. AND YOU KNOW ONE SIZE
FITS ALL DOESN'T WORK EVERY
CHILD IS DIFFERENT I KNOW FOR ME
I ONE CHILD WAS IN A P. STUDENT
ANOTHER CHILD SPECIAL NEEDS. AND
WE SHOULD GIVE PARENTS AND
STUDENTS CHOI SONG TO BE
SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR BILL TODAY I
DO HAVE A QUESTION READING
READING THE ANALYSIS. OTHERS
CONCERNS THAT THERE'S NOT GONNA
BE EQUITY IN TERMS OF THIS IS
GOING TO BENEFIT AFTER OF FLUID.
.
CITIZENS OF MORE THAN THAN POOR
SO MAYBE IF YOU COULD.
ADDRESS THAT AND HOW EVERYBODY
BENEFITS THAT MIGHT BE
BENEFICIAL.
WHAT'S BEEN REAL INTERESTING
ABOUT THIS BILL. CENTER WILK IS
IS EVEN THE PHONE CALLS I'VE
TAKEN. MEMBERS OF THE BLACK
COMMUNITY THAT WE'RE VERY
EXCITED ABOUT THIS OPPORTUNITY.
TO HELP THEIR KIDS.
.
WE WERE SEEING THE DATA THE AND
THE BUSINESS COMMUNITY AND AND
THE. LATINO COMMUTER STILL
FALLING WAY BEHIND. AND SO WE
SEE THAT SAYS AS SOMETHING AN
ENDEAVOR THAT WOULD ACTUALLY
HELP THOSE COMMUNITIES. I DON'T
HAVE SPECIFIC DATA MEMORIZED SO
I APOLOGIZE ABOUT THE STATS BUT
I CAN PROVIDE YOU.
STUDIES AND IT MIGHT EVEN BE
DISCUSSED THIS AFTERNOON.
OKAY ONE LOOKING FOR TO THE
DISCUSSION THIS AFTERNOON AYE
AYE.
YOU KNOW I THINK THAT.
.
IN SOME RESPECTS LE MIS
FRIEDRICH'S.
ARGUMENTS.
GOT YOU KNOW SOME UP I'M WHY I
DON'T THINK WE OUGHT TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL TODAY I MEAN SHE
TALKED ABOUT A STRONG CHARTER
SCHOOL THAT WAS AVAILABLE FOR.
THE STUDENTS IT SOUNDS AS THOUGH
THERE WAS SOME PROBLEM
ASSOCIATED. WITH ATTENDANCE
AREAS I DON'T QUITE UNDERSTAND
ON WHAT HAPPENED WE WILL
CERTAINLY LOOK TO FIND OUT MORE
ABOUT IT AND. I'M PART OF WHY WE
HAVE ESTABLISHED THIS BAND
NETWORK OF CHARTER SCHOOLS IS TO
PROVIDE. ALTERNATIVES AND THAT
ARE ROBUST AND WE HAVE BIG
BATTLES HERE IN THIS COMMITTEE
IS YOU KNOW SENATOR ABOUT ABOUT
CHOICES IT RELATES TO. THAT
WHOLE SECTOR BUT IT'S CERTAINLY
BEEN A GROWING ONE THAT HIS SON.
BEEN EDCATING AN INCREASING
NUMBER OF STUDENTS.
SOMETHING. YOU KNOW ALSO
THERE'S MAGNET SCHOOLS ARE INTER
DISTRICT PERMITS DIFFICULT
CHOICE PROGRAM WE JUST APPROVED
LAST YEAR.
OPEN ROMAN ACT THE PARENT
EMPLOYMENT TRANSFERS.
AND DONE SO I CERTAINLY WOULD
LOVE TO FIND OUT MORE ABOUT WHY
IT WAS AT THIS PARTICULAR SCHOOL
THAT WAS ALLUDED TO WAS SHUT
DOWN BUT AND. YOU KNOW.
CLEARLY THE SYSTEM WAS WORKING
FOR THE STUDENTS HE WAS TALKING
ABOUT AND AND AND. WE NEED TO
FOR IT AND AND THE ISSUE WAS
NOT.
SWITCHING TO AN ENTIRE LEAN
BRAND NEW VOUCHER SYSTEM IS
ABOUT FIGURE OUT WHAT HAPPENED
WITH THAT SCHOOL.
AND DID DIVERSITY CALIFORNIA
EXAMINED AND LOOKED AT THE
POSSIBILITY OF CREATING A A
MASSIVE VOUCHER PROGRAM AND
REJECTED THE IDEA. AND YOU KNOW
I KNOW THE.
I I GUESS I I'VE GUIDE.
BUT I'M RESPECT THIS PERSPECTIVE
BUT I I DON'T I DON'T SHARED
ULTIMATELY I'M ALSO VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT.
ON THE EXTENT TO WHICH THIS
IMPINGES UPON THE AUTONOMY OF
UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA. THAT WE
HAVE I'M WELL PROTECTED FOR A
LONG TIME I THINK THEY'VE SERVE
THE STATE WELL BY NOT.
AIMED INCURRING.
A WHOLE NEW SET OF RULES ON THEM
ITS WONDERS WHY I'VE PUSHED BACK
AGAINST DEMOCRATIC EFFORTS TO.
I'M TO MY COMMANDS YOU RECEIVE
CALIFORNIA.
AS WELL AND I WILL CONTINUE TO
DO THAT.
.
I ALSO SAY THAT WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT ARIZONA SIMILAR PROGRAMS
AND THEY HAVE.
THE BOOBS A SERIES OF CAPS.
THAT I WOULD FULLER BRANDY
PROGRAMS WE DON'T HAVE A LOT OF
GOOD DATA YET BUT THERE'S
THERE'S A CAPS THIS IS THIS NOW
CAP.
AND ALL AND IT'S A BIG HAIRY
AUDACIOUS GOAL I SUPPOSE THAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO REACH IN AND I
UNDERSTAND YOUR. YOUR SHOOTING
BIG WITH THE SPELL BUT I I'M.
PIPE I RESPECT YOU GREAT DEAL
I'M NOT PREPARED TO SUPPORT THIS
TODAY.
BUT I CERTAINLY AND.
YOU KNOW WE THINK THAT WE ALL
NEED TO KEEP WORKING HARD TO TO
TRY TO MAKE SURE THEY'RE DECENT
CHOICES FOR PEOPLE ON ITS.
PART OF WHAT THE.
I THE WORK OF THIS COMMITTEE
FOCUSES ON ALL THE TIME NOW AND
DOWN THERE'S GOING TO NUMBER OF
BILLS COMING UP.
THROUGH THE COURSE OF THIS.
AND I'VE THIS SIZE SEMESTER IN
FACT THAT THERE REALLY TO THAT
SO.
I'M SO WITH THAT I WILL
ENTERTAIN A MOTION IN FRONT OF
THE BILL. FENNER.
SO THAT SO CENTER WILL PASS AS
MOVE THE BILL I'M BUT BUT YOU'VE
MIL BUT BOTH BILLS I ASSUME THAT
IN THE THE SCA ANY S. B. OKAY.
SO ITS FIRST AND HAVE A VOTE ON.
S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY FOUR AND
AND I'D DO. IT RIGHT WE NEED TO
CLOSE AYE BUT I DO WANT TO THANK
ALL THE FOLKS WHO CAME IN TO
TESTIFY I'M I DO THINK WE'RE
ALL.
YOU KNOW. WE ALL CARE ABOUT
ABOUT MAKING THE SYSTEM BETTER
FOR PEOPLE AND I I WOULD LIKE TO
FOLLOW UP WITH SOME OF THE
SPEAKERS ON THE ON THE. SUPPORT
SIDE ABOUT SOME OF THE DETAILS
THAT CAME UP IN TESTIMONY.
SO WITH THAT WHY DON'T WE LET
THE CENTER CLOSE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR IS ALWAYS
A DELIGHT TO HAVE POLICY DEBATES
WITH YOU YOU'RE A GRACIOUS
OPPONENT.
THE MEAT ANSWER JUST OR LIKE
DRESS IF YOU THE COMMERCE OR
MADE. SO IF YOU TAKE ELEVEN
THOUSAND PUT THAT IN THE ACCOUNT
YOU STILL HAVE THE FIVE THOUSAND
ROUGHLY THAT'S AVAILABLE TO ALL
THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS OTHER.
THEY'RE GONNA HAVE THE RESOURCES
BABY AT BAY. TRIMMED DOWN A
LITTLE BIT THEY'LL HAVE MORE
MONEY TO ADDRESS THEIR. ENROLLED
STUDENTS SO I SEE THAT AS A
MATHEMATICAL ISSUE WE COULD DO
SOME EXAMPLES AND SHOW YOU.
WITHOUT SOME EXCEL SPREADSHEETS
HOW THAT MIGHT ACTUALLY BE A
POSITIVE AT THE END OF THE DAY.
GOING TO.
I NONPROFIT SCHOOLS AND
CONCERNED ABOUT SCHOOL
STANDARDS.
THESE ARE THEY'RE REQUIRED TO
BE ACCREDITED.
SO THEY HAVE TO FETCH OUT STATE
RULES.
I'M SAYING THAT THAT THE VOUCHER
SYSTEM IS DISMAL AND BACKWARDS
I'M WHAT I LIKE BEST ABOUT THOSE
ARGUMENTS IS THAT IT WAS
REFERRED TO AS THE CHICKEN
LITTLE BILL.
MISTER CHAIR I WAS CALLED
CHICKEN LITTLE IN NINETEEN
NINETY FOUR. THE ORANGE COUNTY
REGISTER AT AN ARTICLE OF THAT
LEAD UP TIED LINE ON THE. ON
THE.
PAGE ONE OF THE BUSINESS SECTION
OC SKY DID NOT FALL. YOU KNOW
THREE MONTHS LATER WE FILED FOR
BANKRUPTCY BUT THE ARTICLE SAID
BY EVERYTHING THAT MORE LIKE
GUYS SAID WAS LIKE GOOEY.
IT WAS.%
BACKWARDS
BUT WHATEVER YOU WANT TO THROW
AT ME. AND AND SO MY LICENSE
PLATE NOW MY CAR SAYS SKYE FELL.
SORT OF THE IN YOUR FACE KIND OF
THING TO THE CHICKEN LITTLE
NONSENSE THAT PEOPLE.
SORT OF BRAG GRAB ONTO THE ALSO
JAMES BOND ILLUSION. GUY FALL
HIM YEAH.
BUT LICENSE PLATE WITH CLOSE.
THEM.
SO.
I WOULDN'T YOU'RE COOL.
WITH REGARDS TO SEE ISSUE AND.
YOU SEE ADMISSIONS.
.
YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING THAT
THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT.
A LITTLE IMPOSITION ON WHO GETS
ENROLLED.
YET THEY'RE COMING TO US EVERY
YEAR FOR MORE MONEY.
SO THERE'S GOT TO BE SOME KIND
OF QUID PRO QUO THAT WE CAN WORK
ON TOGETHER TO SAY OKAY WE'RE.
HAPPY TO PROVIDE FUNDING BUT.
I DON'T HAVE ANY MORE MOTHERS
COME TO ME.
AND SET SON GOT A FOUR POINT
TWO.
AND HE COULDN'T GET INTO A YOU
SEE. COLLEGE NEVER CRY IN FRONT
OF ME.
READ IT JUST DOESN'T MAKE SENSE.

AN APPRECIATION FOR ONTARIO
CHRISTIAN HIGH SCHOOL TOGETHER

WITH IT THIS AFTERNOON.
I'VE ENJOYED THREE YEARS ON.
BUDGET FISCAL REVIEW
SUBCOMMITTEE ONE.
THE FIRST FEW MONTHS WITH YOU
VERA LINER.
BUT THIS IDEA OF ALL THE ONES
I'VE LOOKED AT.
IT'S THE MOST PROMISING.
IT IS THE BIG HAIRY AUDACIOUS
GOAL IT UPSETS THE PARADIGM HERE
IN CALIFORNIABUT I THINK IT IS
THE MOST EXCITING.
SOLUTION THAT WILL BE. GREATLY.
APPRECIATED BY OUR RESIDENTS AND
OUR PARENTS.
WE GOT TO DO SOMETHING OTHER
THAN THE STATUS QUO AND I THINK
WE CAN ALL AGREE ON THAT AND WE
ALL.
I THINK I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
OUR PARENTS GET SOMETHING
BETTER.
AND SO WITH THAT THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME TO. PROVIDE
SOMETHING A LITTLE OUT OF THE
NORM BUT I STRONGLY REQUEST AN

AS SENATE DATA SENATE BILL
THIRTEEN SIXTY EIGHT IS ABOUT
AYE DROPPING SCHOOL DISTRICT
BOUNDARIES. COLLEAGUES S. B.
THIRTY SIX SIXTY EIGHT ADDRESSES
OPEN ENROLLMENT IT ALLOWS
PARENTS AND STUDENTS.
INCREASED SCHOOL CHOICE.
THERE ARE ATTENDED THEY CAN
ATTEND ANY SCHOOL IN CALIFORNIA
REGARDLESS OF DISTRICT
PRESIDENCY. INTERDISTRICT
TRANSFERS HAVE BEEN WIDELY
ACCEPTED IN UTILIZED. IN FACT
ONE OF MY NEIGHBORS IS ENJOYING
THAT OPPORTUNITY IN THE NEWPORT
MESA UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
BEING ABLE TO TAKE HER DAUGHTER
TO A SCHOOL IN NEWPORT BEACH.
CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE GREAT TO
TALK ABOUT THAT THE LAST BILL
BUT I WOULD ADVISE YOU IF YOU
HAVE NOT ALREADY SEEN WAITING
FOR SUPERMAN.
THAT TWENTY TEN DOCUMENTARY.
THEY MAY HAVE.
CHARTER SCHOOLS BY YOU MAY NOT
GET INTO THEM. OF WHAT.
WHAT ABOUT IN TRIED DISTRICT?
TRANSFERS BY WHAT HOUSING SO
EXPENSIVE MANY PARENTS COMMUTE
MANY MILES TO WORK WHY NOT
ENROLL THEIR KIDS NEAR WHERE
THEY WORK ESPECIALLY IF THEY'RE
LIVING IN SACRAMENTO AND
COMMUTING TO THIS. TO THE BAY
AREA BECAUSE.
IN SOFTWARE.
SO THEY WOULD HAVE AT LEAST THE
ABILITY IF THEIR CHILD CALLS IN
SICK OR AT SCHOOL THE. THE THE
THE PARENT COULD JUST TAKE A.
AN UBER LEFT AND GRABBED THE
CHILD THE CITY TAKING THE TWO
HOUR TRAIN RIDE BACK TO
SACRAMENTO. BOB SO THIS WOULD TO
PROVIDE SOME.
FLEXIBILITY ALSO WE HAVE A LOT
OF INDIVIDUALS TAKE.
IT AND AND AND BUYING A HOME IS
SO CRITICAL PITCHER ACTUALLY
BUYING INTO THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
BUT A LOT OF US NOW.
CANNOT AFFORD TO MOVE INTO
CERTAIN DISTRICTS WOULD STILL
WOULD LIKE TO GET THE EDUCATION.
AND SO HOW WHY NOT ALLOW SOME OF
OUR COMPUTERS AND INTO TO TO
WORK.
ARE BRING YOUR KIDS CLOSER TO
MEMBERS GIVE ME BRING THEIR KIDS
TO A SCHOOL THAT IS WITHIN
DRIVING DISTANCE A BETTER. THAT
HOUSING PRICES.
PROHIBITS TEMPER FROM MOVING
INTO WHATEVER RESIDENT JUST
LIVES A FEW BLOCKS FROM THE NEXT
DISTRICT OVER Y. PRECLUDE THEM
FROM NOT BEING ABLE TO USE THE
NEIGHBORING DISTRICT.
WHY NOT TO THE ADVANTAGE OF A
CLOSE COMMUTE?
SO WITH HIGH HIGH HOUSING COSTS
MANY CANNOT AFFORD TO RESIDE
WITHIN A CERTAIN DISTRICT.
BUT THEY'RE WILLING TO CAN YOU
BRING THEIR KIDS THERE.
CALIFORNIA COMMUTER COTTAGES ARE
READY ALLOW THE ABILITY OF
STUDENTS TO GO TO ANY OF THE
CAMPUSES Y. NOT.
ALLOW THAT FOR K. THROUGH
TWELVE.
ONE DISTRICT IN MY.
ONE SCHOOL DISTRICT IN MY SENATE
DISTRICT TUSTIN UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT THIS IS SAYING THAT
ENROLLMENT DECLINE IN THERE
ACTUALLY TRYING TO. AYE RECRUIT
STUDENTS.
SO THERE DEPEND ON EIGHTY EIGHT
AT THE AVERAGE DAILY ATTENDANCE
LIKE EVERYONE ELSE SO LITTLE
COMPETITION IN A SMALL MANNER
IMPROVES SHOULD HOPEFULLY
IMPROVE ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
THERE'S CURRENTLY A DISTRICT OF
CHOICE PROGRAM WHICH ALL ONLY
FORTY SEVEN DISTRICTS OUT OF
ELEVEN HUNDRED IN THE STATE HAVE
ADOPTED SO THAT CERTAINLY IS
THERE BUT IT IS NOT WORKING.
ITSELF ONLY
BUT IT'S ONLY TO ALLOWING TEN
THOUSAND STUDENTS TO BE A
TRANSFERRED OUT OF THE SIX
MILLION I DON'T EVEN KNOW HOW
MANY. ZEROS BEHIND THE DOT WE'RE
GONNA BE TALKING ABOUT SO
COLLEAGUES.
THANK YOU FOR LETTING ME HAVE
SOME OF YOUR TIME THIS MORNING
TO KEEP THIS BRIEF.
SENATE BILL THIRTEEN SIXTY EIGHT
EXPANDS THIS PROVEN STRATEGIES
STATEWIDE AND I ENCOURAGE YOUR
SUPPORT.
OKAY SO LET'S SON I GIVE
PROPERTY FOR FOLKS TO VOICE
THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE BILL TIME
ANYONE WAS TESTIFYING HERE.
VOICE SUPPORT THEY CAN HAVE A
BILL.
PICTURE IF YOU WANT TO TESTIFY.
ON BEHALF OF THIS BILL.
OR YOU.
TALK ABOUT CHOICE WITHOUT
SUPPORTING THIS BILL.
A SENATOR MORE LIKE IT'S IN ON
THE ONE OF THE MAIN IMPEDIMENTS
OF.
PARENTS BEEN ABLE TO SEND.
THEIR CHILDREN TO THE SCHOOL OF
THEIR CHOICE IS BASED UPON THE
AFFORDABILITY OF THEIR HOUSING
AND WHERE THE GOVERNMENT SAYS
THAT OUR KIDS.
WILL ATTEND SCHOOL SO SIMPLY
PUT.
ALLOWING A TRANSFERS.
IT INDEPENDENT OF WEARING AS
SOON LEAVES ISN'T.
DIGITS DID A PARA PARAMOUNT
IMPORTANCE.
AND ANYBODY WANTS TO SUPPORT
CHOICE NEEDS TO SUPPORT THIS
BILL THANK YOU.
OKAY THANK YOU.
AND OTHER FOLKS WHO WANT HIM
REYES OPPOSITION.
TO THIS BILL.
AND
.
YES GROSS.
BOTTLES WHICH SHOWED CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL BOARDS ASSOCIATION.
.
WE.
ARE OPPOSED TO THE BILL WE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT IT
WOULD HAVE BOTH UPON US SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AND ALSO UPON
STUDENTS.
AND THE BY CHANGING. THE
DISTRICT LINES RIGHT NOW.
IT IMPACTS THE AND DISRUPTS A
DISTRICTS.
ABILITY TO PLAN AND BUDGET.
I.
IT BE DIFFICULT FOR DISTRICTS TO
DETERMINE WHAT ARE THEIR NEEDS
ARE GOING TO BE WHAT STUDENTS
ARE GONNA BE SERVING. OUR MANY
DISTRICTS HAVE IMPLEMENTED MULTI
YEAR PROJECTS TO HELP WITH
VARIOUS TYPES OF PROGRAMS.
SUCH IS A TEACHER RECRUITMENT.
INVESTING IN SPECIAL EDUCATION
PROGRAMS.
THIS COULD. POTENTIALLY IMPACT
DOES ANOTHER PROGRAM SAID THAT
DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN.
COUNTING ON THAT ENROLLMENT IN
ORDER TO FUND THOSE PROGRAMS FOR
STUDENTS.
NONE WERE ALSO CONCERNED ABOUT
THE.
ONE SIDED.
AND. AUTHORIZATION THAT THE
BILL GIVES TO.
RECEIVING DISTRICTS ALLOW THEM
TO CONSIDER.
DE FINANCIAL HEALTH AND ALSO
THE IMPACT IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
CALLED THE EDUCATION.
.
I I THINK. THIS SAME.
OUR CONSIDERATION SHOULD BE
AFFORDED TO THOSE DISTRICTS THAT
ARE GONNA BE AYE DISTRICTS
RESIDENTS.
THEY'RE GONNA BE IMPACTED BOTH
IN TERMS OF THE UPPER SCHOOL
IMPACT AND.
CALLED THE EDUCATION FOR
INSTANCE THAT REMAINS.
ON STUDENT SIDE.
THESE CHOICES WON'T BE
AVAILABLE TO ALL STUDENTS IN
THAT.
AND MANY STUDENTS.
I OR TRANSPORTATION IN PUBLIC
SCHOOLS RIGHT NOW IS HAS BEEN
ADVERSELY UNDERFUNDED. AND MANY
STUDENTS WON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO.
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF.
THE TALKS BUILDING UP PROVIDED
UNDER THIS BILL.
WE ALSO THINK THAT THERE'S
OTHER GROUPS OF STUDENTS TO THAT
WOULD BE ABLE TO BENEFIT
BECAUSE.
THOSE OTHER SCHOOLS THAT THEY
MIGHT BE INTERESTED IN MY NOT BE
HAVE THAT SERVICES THAT THOSE
ARE THAT THOSE ARE PARENTS IN
THOSE FAMILIES MIGHT BE LOOKING
FOR.
AND FOR THOSE REASONS.
WE ARE STRONGLY POSTED BILL AND
ASK COMMITTEE TO.
TO REJECT THE MEASURE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
IT'S I MSTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS
PAMELA GIVES REPRESENTING THE
LOS ANGELES COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION LIKE TO APOLOGIZE TO
MISTER MOORE LIKE I'M BORED JUST
VOTED TO OPPOSE THE BILL LAST
NIGHT.
SO.
pTHAT WAS RECENTLY DISTRIBUTED
TO
THE MEMBERS SO I THINK YOU AND
MISTER MOORE LACK OF WOULD LIKE
TO CONTINUE DISCUSSIONS WITH
YOU.
BUT WE ARE OPPOSED WITH A TO THE
BILL.
CURRENTLY.
AS YOU KNOW AND THE. CHAIR DID
MENTION IN THE PREVIOUS UNDER
THE PREVIOUS BILLS THERE ARE
NUMEROUS OPTIONS RIGHT NOW
AVAILABLE TO OF THE CHILDREN OF
ACCOUNT OF CALIFORNIA.
ENDS THIS BILL SEEKS TO PROVOKE
MANY OF THOSE ONE OF THEM IS.
A BILL THAT ESTABLISHES
RESIDENCY FOR PARENTS WERE
EMPLOYED IN THAT A DISTRICT.
A IN THE DISTRICTS AREA ALSO
THE DISTRICT OF CHOICE BLL
WHICH THE TERROR OF AND ALSO
MENTIONED WAS RECENTLY
REAUTHORIZED AS WE KNOW. AND
ALSO.
PROVOKES A BILL THAT ALLOWS
CHILDREN TO ATTEND SCHOOL WHERE
THEY LIVE I'M WITH THE PARENTS
ARE LIVING IN.
THEIR EMPLOYMENT AREAS SO ALL
OF THOSE THINGS WOULD BE
REPEALED.
WITH THIS BILL IT ALSO
CONFLICTS WITH RECENTLY ENACTED
BILL.
A FROM LAST YEAR THAT PROVIDES
I'M AND THAT WAS LAST YEAR. MOST
IMPORTANTLY AND I HAVEN'T HEARD
THIS DISCUSSED HERE.
IS THE BILL MAY ALSO RAISE
CHALLENGES RELATED TO CHILD
FIND.
WHICH.
WOULD SERVE STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES SO DUE TO THE
UNCERTAINTY OF WHERE STUDENTS.
MIGHT BE INVOLVING.
AND THAT MIGHT BE AN ISSUE AND
LASTLY.
TO ALIGN MYSELF WITH A KIND.
COMMENTS OF CSPA SCHOOL
DISTRICTS MIGHT EXPERIENCE
DECLINING ENROLLMENT FISCAL
INSTABILITY SO WE DO HAVE A
PROCESS IN PLACE FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO. AND MAKE THEIR
ENTIRE ANNUAL A YEARLY
PROJECTIONS.
FOR.
DEALING WITH OUR BUDGETS AND WE
THINK THIS WAS DESTRUCTIVE OUT
FOR THE SO FOR THESE REASONS WE
OPPOSE THE BILL THANK YOU.
Q..
THROUGHOUT MORNING MISTER CHAIR
BROWN WRAPPER ME OFF THE
CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
TEACHERS.
I'D LIKE TO.
JUST SUPPORT THE COMMENTS OF MY
COLLEAGUES WE DO HAVE A FORM.
POSITION
SPILL.
WE DO BELIEVE THAT PARENTS HAVE
MULTIPLE CHOICES CURRENTLY AND.
FIND THAT THIS BILL IS
UNNECESSARY AND FOR THOSE
REASONS WE OPPOSE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OKAY OTHER FOLKS WHO WANT TO
RAISE CONCERNS ABOUT THE BILL
OPPOSITION.
OKAY THE ITEM IS BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE AND. ANOTHER.
ROBUST IN AND DONE DRAMATIC
CHANGE TO OUR SYSTEM PROPOSED BY
AND MY GOOD FRIEND CENTER MORE
LOCKED.
I DO APPRECIATE IT. IVAN.
ANY QUESTIONS THOUGHTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE.
OKAY I'M.
I.
YOU KNOW I I THINK PART OF HER
WAS ALWAYS A CHALLENGE YEAR AND
I I SERVED AS A MEMBER OF THE
SCHOOL BOARD AND IS THAT WE ALL
WANT TO SEE THE SYSTEM WORK
BETTER THERE'S NO QUESTION ABOUT
IT BUT. AND.
I.
YOU KNOW THERE ARE. BUT IT'S
IT'S HARD TO MAKE A SYSTEM WORK
IN IN IN IN AND ALSO YOU WANT TO
MAKE SURE AS YOU.
NAVIGATE THE WATERS OF OF
CREATING A SYSTEM THAT ACTUALLY
WORKS ON A MASS LEVEL AND THAT.
SOMETIMES THESE THESE KINDS OF
CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED
SOUND BUREAUCRATIC AND THEY ARE
TO SOME EXTENT BUT.
I'M.
THERE NECESSARY PARTS OF RUNNING
AN ENORMOUS SCHOOL SYSTEM. I'M.
AND IT'S PART OF THE CHALLENGE.
I THINK WE'VE TRIED TO MEET
SOME OF THE KINDS OF CHOICE
RELATED CONCERNS THAT YOU'VE
BEEN RAISING THROUGH THE SERIES
OF HIS BILL THROUGH SOME OF THE
THINGS WE MENTIONED DISTRICT
CHOICE IN.
CHARTER SCHOOLS AND MAGNET
SCHOOLS AND AND OTHER TYPES OF
OPTIONS THAT ARE OUT THERE IN
THEIR.
IF YOU THAT AND I KNOW PARENTS
AVAIL THEMSELVES OF THE
ALL THE TIME.
WE FROM HAVING SERVED ON THE
BOARD.
I AM.
SO I I APPRECIATE YOU ASKING
TOUGH QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WAY
THE SYSTEM WORKS.
AND I BEEN COULD YOU DO ME
CONTINUE DOING GAUGE IN THIS
CONVERSATION AND I WOULD LOVE
TALKED TO ANYONE ABOUT THIS.
I'M ONCE AGAIN I THINK THIS I'M.
I'M I'M WORRIED ABOUT A WHOLE
SERIES OF UNFORESEEN
CONSEQUENCES AND IN TERMS OF.
THAT THE CAN AND IMPACTING A
LOT OF.
STUDENTS NEGATIVELY IN WAYS THAT
I'M I'M NOT SURE THAT I'M.
THE PROPONENTS OF FULLY THOUGHT
THROUGH AND AND SO WITH THAT I I
I REGRETFULLY WILL NOT BILLS FOR
THIS BILL AGAIN.
I'M BUT I I DO APPRECIATE.
I'M.
YOU CONTINUE TO GRAPPLE WITH
WAYS TO IMPROVE OUR SYSTEM SO
WOUND. IF THERE'S A. MOVE THE
BILL MOTIONS YOU ARE TO CLOSE.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
CHAIRMAN THANK YOU FOR SHARING
WITH EVERYONE THAT YOU ARE.
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER ALL HAPPEN
IN THE PAST I HAD NOT AN EASY
EXPERIENCE THAT'S THAT'S NOT.
BEING THE TREASURE FOR THE.
THIRTY PLUS SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN
ORANGE COUNTY FOR TWELVE YEARS
AND YOU KNOW. WHAT A FUN?
I DEALING WITH THEIR FINANCES SO
I APPRECIATE SOME OF THE
CONCERNS. ABOUT THE DIFFICULTY
TO PLAN AND BUDGET.
THERE.
PROBABLY. NOT AS DIFFICULT. AS
AS MAYBE THEY ARE PROJECTED BUT
ONE OF THE COMMENTS THAT I I
JUST WANNA CLOSE ON HIS THAT.
THE ABILITY TO INVEST AYE IN
SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
WOUND WITH THIS IS COME UP NOW
TWICE THIS MORNING. AND AND AND
WE FORTY HAD A PRETTY LENGTHY A
HEARING ON IT FOR SOMEONE. ON
JUST HOW WOULD WE COULD BE DOING
A LOT BETTER FOR SPECIAL
EDUCATION.
SO IF WE WERE TO BE A LITTLE
MORE. GLOBAL ON OUR APPROACH TO
SPECIAL EDUCATION MAYBE WE COULD
HAVE WON CAMPUS.
FOR AND AND ALLOW PARENTS TO DO
A LITTLE BIT MORE MOVING OUR OUR
COMMUTING TO A LOCATION WHERE
THE NEEDS ARE MET LITTLE MORE
SPECIFICALLY INSTEAD OF A LITTLE
BIT YOUR LITTLE BIT THERE. YOU
PUT ALL THE LITTLE BITS TOGETHER
YOU'D HAVE UNDER PERCENT
PROGRAM.
SO I SEE SOME OPPORTUNITIES HERE
WHERE WE CAN WORK INTER DISTRICT
TO ADDRESS.
A CLIENTELE THAT HIS
RELIEVED DOT GETTING THE
BENEFITS OF WHAT WE ARE CAPABLE
OF DOING.
SO WITH THAT MISTER CHAIR THANK
YOU ONCE AGAIN FOR INDULGING IN
LOBBY THAT. GUY JUST KIND OF
UPSET THE APPLE CART AGAIN.
BUT.
I THINK I THINK OUR RESIDENTS.
I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE A LITTLE
MORE FLEXIBILITY AND IT'S NOT
BEING PROVIDED TO THEM AND THIS
IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO HELP
PARENTS ONCE AGAIN AYE ASPIRIN
AYE. PICKY SENATOR IF YOU
WANNA-TALK SHOP ABOUT A A VERY
FOCUSED
BILL ON SPECIAL QUESTION FOR
EXAMPLE VERY OPEN.
I I'M I'M LEARNIN EVERY YEAR
WILL DO SO.
RIGHT.
ACRYLIC THANK YOU FOR THAT TO
OFFER BUT YOU CENTER.
ART SO BILL AND VIEW OF THE
MOTION FOR THE BILL.
SO MISTER VICE CHAIR OKAY SO THE
BILL IS ITEM TWELVE IT'S S. B.

B. THIRTY IMMEDIATE EMMA QUICKLY
PASSED THE GAVEL TO SENATOR I
WILL AND I'LL BE RIGHT BACK
.
TO SEE YOU SENATOR AND ANDERSON
SO YOU YOU CAN GO AHEAD AND
PROCEED.
THANK YOU SCARE MEMBERS. DOWN
OVER THE COURSE LAST YEAR WE'VE
HAD A NUMBER OF INFORMAL.
INFORMATIONAL HEARINGS REGARDING
FREE SPEECH ON CAMPUS AND.
PERHAPS ALL OF YOU HAD THE SAME
EXPERIENCE IN COLLEGE THAT I
DID.
BUT I'D LOVE GOING LISTEN TO.
IDEAS FROM ALL WALKS OF LIFE
WHETHER.
THEY WERE CONSERVATIVE OR
LIBERAL.
I LOVED HEARING ALL THE DEBATE
ON CAMPUS AND I THINK IT'S
REALLY IMPORTANT.
BUT.
THE SUPREME COURT HAS BEEN
CRYSTAL CLEAR ON THIS ISSUE. IN
THE NINETEEN SEVENTY TWO HEALY
CASE THEY CALLED PUBLIC
UNIVERSITIES QUOTE PARTICULARLY
THE MARKETPLACE OF IDEAS WERE
YOUNG ADULTS. LEARN TO EXERCISE
THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS
NECESSARY TO PARTICIPATE. IN OUR
SYSTEM OF GOVERNMENT INTO
TOLERATE OTHERS EXERCISE OF
THOSE SAME RIGHTS.
INHERENT.
THERE ARE TWO OTHER IS NO ROOM.
FOR THE VIEW THAT THE FIRST
AMENDMENT PROTECTS.
SHOULD APPLY WITH LESS FORCED ON
COLLEGE CAMPUSES. THEN THE
COMMUNITY AT LARGE.
I AGREE WITH THE COURT. THAT
THEY'RE EXERCISING THEIR FIRST
AMENDMENT RIGHTS ON PUBLIC
UNIVERSITY CAMPUSES IS A
CRITICAL COMPONENT OF QUALITY
EDUCATION.
OUR EXPERIENCE FOR ALL STUDENTS
IN THEREFORE REQUIRES THAT EACH.
PUBLIC UNIVERSITY ENSURE FREE
ROBUST UNINHIBITED DEBATE IN
DELIBERATIONS. FOR THE ULTIMATE
SUCCESS THEIR STUDENTS ON
CAMPUS.
AND IN LIFE. YEAH AND.
BEFORE YOU NOW IS MY BILL THAT
SIMPLY.
UP WITH A PLAN THEY PUT IT UP ON
THEIR WEBSITES THEY SHOW GREAT
TRANSPARENCY SO THAT EVERYONE
KNOWS WHAT THE RULES ARE THAT
THEY CAN PLAY BY THE RULES. IN
THERE ALSO.
ALLOWS THOSE AGGRIEVED TO.
A PATH.
.
TO GET TO THAT THE UNIVERSITIES
TO COMPLY IF THEY FEEL THEY'VE
BEEN WRONGED WHAT WE CAN'T HAVE
HAPPENED. IS THAT THE HECKLER'S
VETO WHEN THE DAY.
WITH THAT I ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE.
ANY SPEAKERS IN SUPPORT.
CNN.
YOU NEED OPPOSITION.
SEEING NONE OPEN IT UP TO
QUESTIONS COMMENTS CONCERNS
FROM.
THE COMMITTEE.
WHILE I'M A LOOK FOR MOTION AND
THEN WE'LL GO TO CLOSING
COMMENTS.
MR BIDAK MOVES THE BILL.
SENATOR ANDERSON YOU MAY CLOSE.
.
I THINK THAT TO THE FACT THAT WE
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC
SPEAKERS FOR AND AGAINST THAT WE
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PUBLIC
COMMENT.
IS BECAUSE THERE'S AGREEMENT WE
ALL AGREE HOW IMPORTANT FREE
SPEECH IS ON OUR CARE.
AND I THINK WHAT WE'VE GONE
THROUGH WITH HER.
UNIVERSITIES IN THE LAST
TWO THREE YEARS.
IT'S BEEN HORRIBLE AYE IN THAT
THOSE COLLEGES UNIVERSITIES NEED
OUR SUPPORT ANDLEGISLATURE TO
LAY OUT WHAT ARE THE PARAMETERS
AND HOW TO MOVE FORWARD. AND I'M
HOPING THAT THIS BILL MA WORKS
IN THAT MANNER PSALM URGING AN
AYE VOTE IN I APPRECIATE IT
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU I'VE WE COULD.
TAKE ROLE. ITEM FOURTEEN SB
THIRTEEN EIGHTY EIGHT THE MOTION
IS DUE PASSED YOU JUDICIARY

OKAY. CENTER NIELSEN.
AND HE COME UP TO THE PODIUM AND
WHERE IT THIS IS FILE ITEM
THIRTEEN S. B. THIRTEEN EIGHTY
ONE CENTER NIELSEN. HAVING TO DO
WITH CAMPUS FOR EXPRESSION AT
THE BOARD AND WAS CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS.
A YES THIS. THIS BILL WAS BEFORE
US LAST YEAR WE'VE HAD CHANGED A
BIT.
WELL OBVIOUSLY CONSISTENT WITH
THE RULES BUT WHEN OUT
UNANIMOUSLY.
AND WE GOT HUNG UP ON TO SPENT
IN THE PROPER.
ABOUT.
OUR CAMPUSES OF HISTORICALLY
BEEN THE BASTIONS OF FREE SPEECH
AND EXCHANGE OF IDEAS.
BUT IN RECENT YEARS. THERE'S
BEEN A. CONSTRICTION.
THE OTHER OPPORTUNITY ON OUR
CAMPUSES.
WITH RULES.
AND DESIGNATION OF VERY LIMITED
AREAS.
OF ACCESS.
FOR FREE SPEECH.
I DON'T KNOW THAT A COLLEGE
CENTURY.
BUT IT CERTAINLY IS FAR MORE
RESTRICTIVE.
THEN OUR STUDENTS DESERVE.
OR THE CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA IN
OUR INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER
EDUCATION.
AND SO IT ENDED THE DESIGNATION
FOR EXAMPLE OF FREE SPEECH.
AREAS.
AND MAKING THEM VERY SMALL.
OR INCONVENIENT AREAS.
HAS BEEN ONE OF THE TOOLS OF
THAT CLASS.
COSTLY.
.
BUT FINDS.
BUT PERMITTING.
FOR DOING THIS KIND OF ACTIVITY
ON OUR CAMPUS.
SO WE'RE TRYING TO DO IS TO.
AMELIORATE THAT.
BUT IN WAYS A DOES NOT. OBSTRUCT
THE MISSION AND PURPOSES OF OUR
INSTITUTIONS.
I KINDA LIKE THESE WORDS THAT WE
PUT IN THE BILL.
THAT.
IT WOULD BE IN A MANNER TO
ENFORCE REASONABLE TIME PLACE
AND MANNER RESTRICTIONS ONLY ON
THOSE RESTRICTIONS THAT ARE
NARROWLY.
TAILORED AND SERVICE OF A
SIGNIFICANT INSTITUTIONAL
INTEREST.
SO IN OTHER WORDS YOU'RE GOING
TO DESIGNATE A SMALLER AREA YOU
HAVE TO HAVE A.
LEGITIMATE INSTITUTIONAL
PURPOSE.
AND THAT'S IMPORTANT TO PROTECT.
THE INSTITUTION AND ITS PURPOSE.
IN DESIGNATING AREAS BUT THAT
DOES NOT HAVE TO BE AS
RESTRICTED AS IT HAS BECOME.
SO FAR.
THE RESTRICTION SHOULD ALLOW FOR
MEMBERS OF THE CAMPUS COMMUNITY
TO SPONTANEOUSLY AND
CONTEMPORANEOUSLY DISTRIBUTE
LITERATURE.
THEN A SIMPLE.
THAT TRULY IS THE ESSENCE OF THE
BILL.
I DO NOT THINK ITS ANY GREAT
BURDEN ON THE.
THE ADMINISTRATION OF ANY OF OUR
INSTITUTIONS.
BUT I DO BELIEVE THAT FOR THE
FREE EXCHANGE.
THIS A CRITICAL. CHANGE THAT
NEEDS TO BE IN PLACE.
MISTER DAVID BELLA HAWKINS IS
HERE TO TESTIFY. THAT HE AND I
HAVE WORKED TOGETHER AND SINCE
THE LATE SEVENTIES ON IS IT
ISSUES RELATED TO HIGHER
EDUCATION.
BUT HE WAS AN ADVOCATE FOR
STUDENTS MANY YEARS AGO.
AND HE STILL APPEAR ADVOCATING
FOR HIGHER EDUCATION.
MISTER DAVID BELL HAWKINS.
THANK YOU SENATOR I DAVID BELL
HOP INTERPRETING THE FOUNDATION
FOR THE ADVENTURE OF FOUNDATION
FOR INDIVIDUAL RIGHTS IN
EDUCATION.
BECAUSE IT NONPROFIT THAT WORKS
TO PROTECT.
A FREE SPEECH RIGHTS A
PRIMARILY AS STUDENTS.
AT PUBLIC COLLEGES AND
UNIVERSITIES I WANTED TO GIVE
YOU TED RECENT EXAMPLE OF
THAT. ILLUSTRATES THE PROBLEM
THAT THAT'S A BUILD DOWN TRIES
TO ADDRESS.
AT MODESTO JUNIOR COLLEGE WE HAD
A STUDENT THAT WAS DISTRIBUTING
A COPY OF THE U. S.
CONSTITUTION.
I USE A WAR VETERAN AND HE WAS
ACTUALLY DOING IT ON
CONSTITUTION DAY.
A HE WAS TOLD BY CAMPUS POLICE
THAT THE IT THAT WAS NOT ALLOWED
BECAUSE HE WAS NOT. DOES
STANDING IN THE FREE SPEECH
AREA.
I MEAN YOU KNOW IT'S INTERESTING
IF YOU LOOK FOR FREE SPEECH
AREAS ARE LOCATED AT COLLEGES
AND UNIVERSITIES THAT PRETTY
MUCH REMOVED FROM THE GENERAL
TRAFFIC OF OF STUDENTS IN THE
REST THE CAMPUS POPULATION.
VERY MINUTE PERCENTAGE.
THAT SET ASIDE.
IN MOST INSTANCES.
STUDENTS NEED TO GET PRIOR
PERMISSION. BEFORE THEY CAN
EXERCISE THEIR FREE SPEECH
RIGHTS.
IN MANY CASES THEY HAVE TO HAVE
THEIR MATERIALS APPROVED OR HAVE
SOME SORT OF A PERMIT PROCESS IN
PLACE.
THIS BILL IN KNOW WAY CHANGES
EXISTING LAW OR CHANGES.
COURT CASES IN REGARDS TO
STUDENT FREE SPEECH.
IT SIMPLY WILL AVOID HAVING
MULTIPLE LAWSUITS BROUGHT
AGAINST. ME COLLEGES STATE
UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA.
THAT ARE PROHIBITING.
STUDENT SPEECH BY PUTTING A
LIMITS ON THAT ARE
UNCONSTITUTIONAL.
A WE HAVE HERE AYE VOTE THE
COMMITTEE.
SUPPORTED THIS SO UNANIMOUSLY
LAST YEAR WE HOPE THAT THAT
CONTINUES THIS YEAR AS WE MOVE
THROUGH THE PROCESS

QUESTIONS THANK YOU.

THE COMMITTEE AND STAFF FOR
HELPING ME ON THIS VERY VERY
IMPORTANT ISSUE AND I. CERTAINLY
ACCEPT THE COMMITTEE'S PROPOSED
AMENDMENT IT'S IDENTIFIED IN
COMMENT FOR OF THE ANALYSIS.

ONE YEAR TO IMPLEMENT THIS
POLICY IF IT IS ADOPTED.
KLAY JANUARY ONE.
TWENTY TWENTY ALSO WANT TO
THANK MY A CO AUTHORS APPROVED
TIM ATKINS AND MINORITY LEADER
BATES.
OF FOR THEIR. SPECIFIC ISSUE IN
VERY VERY IMPORTANT A LEADERSHIP
ON THIS ISSUE.
I'M I DON'T HAVE TO TELL YOU
THAT CALIFORNIA PLEASE
ADJOURNMENT CALIFORNIA LEADS THE
NATION.
IN REPORTED CASES OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING AND ALTHOUGH WE'VE
PASSED THE BILLS AFTER BILL OVER
THE YEARS. VERY VERY IMPORTANT
YEARS OF BILLS OVER THE YEARS
HAVE REQUIRED TEACHERS AND
STUDENTS TO BE PROVIDED.
I INFORMATION RELATED TO HUMAN
TRAFFICKING WE'VE NOT FOR
WHATEVER REASON INCLUDED
PARENTS.
AND GUARDIANS.
BUT I IN THIS PREVENTIVE
DISCUSSION AND IN THESE BILLS.
FRANKLY.
CONSIDERING THAT.
PERPETRATORS FREQUENTLY GROOM
THEIR VICTIMS BY INSTILLING IN
THEM A DISTRUST OF AUTHORITY
FIGURES ARE ISOLATING THEM FROM
THEIR FAMILIES.
STUDENTS OFTEN TRY TO HIDE.
VICTIMIZATION FROM TEACHERS AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT UNFORTUNATELY.
THAT'S WHY PARENTS AND GUARDIANS
CAN PLAY SUCH A VERY VERY
IMPORTANT ROLE IN THIS HUMAN
TRAFFICKING.
DISCUSSION.
OBVIOUSLY A PARENT OR GUARDIAN
IS.
EXTREMELY ADEPT OR SHOULD BE
ADAPTED IDENTIFYING CERTAIN
CHANGES.
IN YOUNG PEOPLE WHETHER IT'S AND
BEHAVIOR CHEN DEPRESSION IT'S
UNEXPLAINED CASH IN A DRAWER
IT'S FAKE IDENTIFICATION THAT
YOU FIND.
OR OTHER SIGNS OF ABUSE
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL IS
DESIGNED TO ADDRESS ITS DESIGNED
TO ENSURE THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS
PROVIDE PARENTS
AND GUARDIANS OF MIDDLE AND HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS.
WITH CRITICAL INFORMATION AND
RESOURCES INFORMATION RESOURCES
NECESSARY TO IDENTIFY INDICATORS
THAT THEIR CHILD. IS BEING
GROOMED FOR TRAFFICKING.
I HAVE WITH ME TODAY ALL THE WAY
FROM RIVERSIDE COUNTY JENNIFER
NICOLE WITH THE RIVERSIDE
CHAPTER OF THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF WOMEN'S CLUBS.
THANK YOU FOR COMING MA'AM TO
PROVIDE TESTIMONY IN ANSWER ANY
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS THAT YOU MAY
HAVE MEMBERS.
OKAY. CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
WOMEN'S CLUBS URGES YOU TO PASS
SB ELEVEN NOW FOR.
OUR NATIONAL ORGANIZATION IS
STRONGLY CONCERNED WITH THE
ISSUE OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
ESPECIALLY GIVING THAT OUR STATE
LEADS THE NATION IN THE HIGHEST
HUMAN TRAFFICKING RATES.
DUE TO OUR NATION'S WAR ON DRUGS
GAINS HAVE SWITCHED THEIR
EMPHASIS FOR REVENUE FROM THE
HIGH PENALTY RISK OF DRUG
TRAFFICKING. TO THE RELATIVELY
LOW PENALTY RISK OF HUMAN
TRAFFICKING.
THIS IS CREATING GROWTH IN AN
INDUSTRY THAT NEGATIVELY IMPACTS
OUR NATION AND OUR STATE.
THE CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
WOMEN'S CLUBS HAS FOUND MOST
FAMILIES HILL INSULATED AGAINST
OUR LOVED ONES BECOMING VICTIMS.
AND DON'T RECOGNIZE THE WARNING
SIGNS THAT PREDATORS ARE
TARGETING TILT THEIR CHILDREN
FOR HARM.
BUT THE RESOURCES AVAILABLE TO
THEM FOR HELP UNTIL IT IS TOO
LATE.
WE COMMEND THIS LEGISLATURE'S
EFFORTS TO EXPAND CALIFORNIA'S
FOCUS ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
I TO ADDRESS PREVENTION EFFORTS.
WELL WE BELIEVE EDUCATION IS THE
KEY TO SUCCESSFUL PREVENTION. WE
ASK THE LEGISLATURE TO TAKE LAST
YEAR'S A. B. TWELVE TWENTY SEVEN
A STEP FURTHER.
BEYOND EDUCATING STUDENTS AND
TEACHERS ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING WE
ASK THE LEGISLATURE TO INCLUDE
PARENTS AS WELL.
WE BELIEVE THAT EDUCATING MINERS
ON HUMAN TRAFFICKING PREDATORS
IS IMPORTANT BUT INADEQUATE TO
PROTECT THEM FROM ADULTS WERE
VERSED IN EXPLOITING THEIR
VULNERABILITIES FOR PROFIT.
S. B. ELEVEN OH FOUR WILL ALLOW
US TO NOT ONLY UTILIZE
INFORMATION. OF THE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION'S WEBSITE BUT ALLOW
INFORMATION FROM THE ACTUAL
SCHOOL TO BE DIRECTLY PROVIDED
TO PARENTS AND GUARDIANS.
WHEREBY FURTHER PROTECTING
CALIFORNIA'S YOUTH.
WE BELIEVE THAT EXPANDING THE
BATTLE AGAINST TRAFFICKERS BY
SHARING INFORMATION WITH
PARENTS.
WHETHER BY SCHOOL WEBSITE
POSTING EMAIL OR PRINT.
CALIFORNIA CAN HELP RAISE
AWARENESS OF THIS BLIGHT AND
HELP TURN BACK THE TIDE ON
TRAFFICKING.
WE ARE PROUD OF OUR STATE AND
SENATOR ROTH FOR OFFERING THIS
LEGISLATION.
WE ASK THAT RATHER THAN BEING A
LEADER IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING
STATISTICS.
CALIFORNIA BE RECOGNIZED AS A
LEADER IN HUMAN TRAFFICKING
SOLUTIONS.

REQUIRES COMEY COLLEGES AND
PRIVATE COLLEGES TO INCLUDE DATA
RELATE TO CLINICAL PLACEMENT
SITES FOR ALLIED HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS TO THEIR EXISTING
STATE REPORTING. OF THIS MODEST
ADDITIONAL BY REPORTING STEP ON
FORM HOW WE CAN EXPAND ALLIED
HEALTH PROGRAMS WHICH ARE
DEPENDENT ON CLINICAL SLOTS.
BUT PROVIDE A CLEAR PICTURE OF
WHERE STUDENTS ARE TRULY BEING
PLACE FOR CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
AND HOW THIS CLINICAL PLACEMENTS
CONTRIBUTE TO STUDENT SUCCESS
AND OUTCOMES.
UNDERSTAND THE TRAINING
PIPELINES PARTICULAR IMPORTANT
TO DEVELOPMENT OF A DIVERSE
WORKFORCE THAT'S REFLECTIVE OF
THE CHANGING DEMOGRAPHICS OUR
STATE. AYE CURLY AYE CALIFORNIA
SINCE FALLING SHORT ONLY TWENTY
FIVE PERCENT OF PROFESSIONALS
LATINO COMPARED TO FORTY
PERCENT.
OF CALIFORNIA AND WITHOUT
DIVERSE PIPELINE OF HEALTH CARE
WORKERS CALIFORNIA WILL NOT BE
ABLE TO PROVIDE CARE DIFFICULTLY
LINGUISTICALLY APPROPRIATE AT
ALL TIMES.
THIS OFFICE CONSISTENT WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SENATE
OFFICE RESEARCH WENT AND THAT A
FIGHT IN THE TWENTY TWELVE
REPORT THAT THERE WAS A LACK OF
INFORMATION CLINICAL TRAIN
SUPPORTS. IS FURTHER RECOMMENDED
THAT THE LEGISLATURE LEAD THE
CHARGE IN ESTABLISHING A MEANS
TO COLLECT CLINICAL PLACEMENT
DATA AND EVALUATES SUPPLY AND
DEMAND OF CLINICAL TRAINING
PROGRAMS.
CURRENTLY PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS
THAT ROUGHLY SEVENTY PERCENT OF
THE MARKET SHARE FR PROGRAMS
WHICH ARE DIRECTLY DEPENDENT
CLINICAL PLACEMENT PROVIDERS.
THERE'S A COMPELLING PUBLIC
INTEREST TO KNOW IF THERE'S A

MEDICAL FIELD BUT SURLY ALSO HAD
WORKED AS A COMMISSIONER.
FOR AYE QUE HELP WHICH OVERSEES
MANY ALLIED PROFESSIONS. THIS IS
A HUGE CHALLENGE WHEN IT COMES
TO.
AT THE TRAINING OF HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS SOUL LA TIMES FOR
OTHER AT PROFESSIONS LIKE A LAW
YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO SPEND
TIME TO COURT TO GET YOUR GED
ARE TO GET YOUR BAR EXAM
NECESSARILY.
BUT IN MAY THE HEALTH
PROFESSIONS YOU ACTUALLY HAVE TO
HAVE CLINICAL EXPERIENCE IS GOOD
REASONS WHY IT'S SO WHEN THERE'S
A LIMITATION OR A.
.
DISTORTIONS AND.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR A CLINICAL
EXPERIENCES THIS ACT IS A
PROFOUND
ACT ON THE WORK FORCE SO EXPECT
THE ASK FOR AN AYE VOTE AND I
HAVE.
SUPPORT.
THANK YOU THANK YOU SO MUCH AS
KIM. EMILY ROSENBERG WITH
SERVICE EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL
UNION UP HOW TO SPONSOR THIS
BILL AND I MADE A FROM MY TIME
TO OUR CO SPONSOR AND BE HERE TO
ANSWER A TECHNIQUE.
SINCE BEEN. MATURE YES MA'AM.
BOB THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS MY NAME SHARON VOCAL I'M
A REGISTERED NURSE AND I'M THE
PAST PRESIDENT OF THE FACULTY
ASSOCIATION FOR CALIFORNIA
COMMITTEE COLLEGES.
WHO HAPPENED TO BE CO SPONSOR OF
THIS MEASURE?
I'D BEEN A NURSE FOR FORTY THREE
YEARS AND I'VE DONE EVERYTHING
IN NURSING ACCEPT DELIVERED
BABIES WORK TO ME ARE.
I THINK IT IS NOT A BIG PIECE.
I'M THE LAST TWENTY EIGHT YEARS
I SPENT AS A FACULTY MEMBER AYE
IN COMMUNITY COLLEGES HAVE YOU
COMMITTED COLLEGE TEACHING
NURSING HOUSE OF TOP PART TIME
THE CSU BACHELOR. NURSING
PROGRAM.
IN CLINICAL IS WHERE THE REAL
LEARNING TAKE PLACE TAKES PLACE
SUBCLINICAL. FACILITIES IN
CLINICAL EDUCATION IS CRITICAL
NOT JUST FOR NURSING STUDENTS
BUT FOR S. AS DOT ON SENATOR PAN
SAID FOR RESPIRATORY THERAPY
PARAMEDIC AT ALL THE OTHER
ALLIED HEALTH.
THEY HAVE TO HAVE THAT CLICK
CLICK SPIRITS THAT'S WHEN THEY
GET TO APPLY WHAT THEY'VE
LEARNED.
I SEE SOME VERY STRONG ARGUMENTS
BY YOU SHOULD SUPPORT THIS BILL.
ONE.
IT ALLOWS ALL THE ALLIED HEALTH
PROGRAMS TO LEARN FROM ONE
ANOTHER WE CAN GATHER THE
INFORMATION OF PERHAPS WHAT LA
OR SAN DIEGO IS USING FOR
CLINICAL SITES OF FACILITIES.
AND PERHAPS WE CAN UTILIZE THAT
TO EXPAND THE AREAS WHERE WE CAN
SEND OUR STUDENTS TO LEARN BUT I
DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO THAT
INFORMATION RIGHT NOW.
TO GIVE YOU IS LAWMAKERS BETTER
INSIGHT WHAT'S HAPPENING ACROSS
THE STATE WITHIN OUR CRITICAL CT
A LIFE HEALTH PROGRAMS AND
ALLOWS YOU TO MAKE INFORMED
POLICY DECISIONS MOVIE
PORTRAYED.
AGAIN IT'S THAT IT IS AS SENATOR
PENN TALKED ABOUT THE SHORTAGE
THERE'S A HUGE SHORTAGE COMING
OUT HOW ARE WE TO EXPAND OUR
PROGRAMS WE DON'T. HAVE ENOUGH
FACILITIES TO TAKE THEM TO OUR
KNOW WHERE THEIR FACILITIES THAT
ARE AVAILABLE THIS WILL ALLOW US
TO BE MORE KNOWLEDGEABLE AS WE
TRY TO EXPAND TO BE OUR
COMMUNITY'S NEEDS.
THREE IT GIVES US A BETTER SENSE
OF HOW COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS ARE FARING THESE PAPA.
PLACEMENT SLOTS AGAIN THERE MAY
BE OTHER PLACEMENT AREAS THAT
WE'VE NOT THOUGHT OF THAT ALLOW
US TO BE MORE CREATIVE.
SIXTY FIVE PERCENT OF REGISTERED
NURSES RIGHT NOW COME OUT OF
EIGHTY AND COMMITTEE COLLEGE
PROGRAMS.
BUT BECAUSE IN PLACES THEY ARE
BEING DENIED ACCESS TO
FACILITIES TO DO CLINICAL
PLACEMENT BECAUSE. PRIVATE
BACHELOR PROGRAMS PERHAPS HAVE
GOTTEN THERE FIRST.
IT ELIMINATES THEM OUT AND WE'RE
THE ONES THAT REALLY TURN OUT
THE NURSES
AND OUT SO IT'S CRITICAL WE HAVE
ACCESS THERE. AND THREE I THINK
MOST IMPORTANTLY IT WILL PROVIDE
FOR FACILITIES ACROSS THE STATE
TO LOOK AT THIS DATA AND SEE IF
THERE'S OTHER WAYS THEY CAN HELP
SUPPORT A.
GETTING MORE ALLIED HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS OUT TO THE FIELD.
AT BICU COLLEGE OUR NURSING
STUDENTS REFLECT THE NURSES.
THE CONDITIONS OF RULE COLLEGES
I'M UP NEAR CHICO.
AND WE HAVE BOTH BUTTE AND CHICO
STATE BETWEEN US WE HAVE ABOUT
FIVE HUNDRED STUDENTS ARE SOME
MASTER.
VYING FOR CLINICAL SLOTS
THAT'S PARKS ME TWO HUNDRED
SEVENTY FOR BUTTE COLLEGE IN
ABOUT TWO HUNDRED AND THIRTY FOR
CHICO.
EACH YEAR IT AS A CHALLENGE TO
FIND. OUT SLOTS PARTICULARLY IN
CRITICAL SPECIALTY AREAS OB.
PEDIATRICS PSYCH AND COMMUNITY
HEALTH.
WE ONLY HAVE THREE FACILITIES
THEY ARE USING US TO THE MAX
THEY ARE BEING SO COOPERATIVE
BUT WE ARE AT THE MAX THERE ARE
NO OTHER FACILITIES FOREST'S.
AS AN INSTRUCTOR WE CAN SPEND
WELL OVER TWENTY FOUR HOURS EACH
SEMESTER WORKING TRYING TO FIND
CLINICAL PLACEMENT.
HAPPY TO SET UP THE CONTRACTS
THAT LEGALLY ALLOW US TO GO INTO
THAT FACILITY
AND MAKING SURE ALL THE THINGS
THAT ARE DONE THAT THAT FACILITY
REQUIRES ARE DONE.
THAT'S A GREAT DEAL OF TIME AND
THEN WHEN OFFENSIVELY CAUSES UP
A WEEK BEFORE CLINICAL SPEAKING
TO GOV WERE NO LONGER TAKING
STUDENTS WE HAVE TO SCRAMBLE TO
FIND ENOUGH SLOTS FOR OUR
STUDENTS TO BE ABLE TO GO THERE.
AND PLACE THEM.
WE TRY TO BE VERY CREATIVE AND
STILL MEET THINK THE QUALITY
EDUCATIONAL CLINICAL EDUCATIONS
ARTS STUDENTS NEED.
TO DO THAT WE ALSO ROTATE THEM
THROUGH THE SIMULATION
ENVIRONMENT WHICH PARAMEDIC
PROGRAMS ARE T. ALL OF US ARE
UTILIZING THE SIMULATION.
ENVIRONMENT BUT THAT'S NOT A
REAL PATIENT AND. FOR THE OUR
ENDS WE RE LIMITED BY THE
APPROVING BOARD THE ACCREDITING
BOARD ONLY TWENTY FIVE PERCENT
OF OUR CLINICAL TIME CAN BE
SPENT AND SIMULATION.
SO I THINK THIS BILL IS CRITICAL
FOR US TO REALLY GET A A A
SCIENTIFIC VIEW OF WHERE WE AT
AND WHERE WE ARE GOING. SO I
THINK YOU AND I REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT FOR THIS BILL. BECAUSE
RIGHT NOW THERE'S NO PLACE
CURRENTLY THAT THIS INFORMATION
IS STORED EACH CAMPUS HAS IT
IT'S IN OUR APPROVAL REPORTS TO
GOING TOWARD CREDITING BOARDS
BUT IT'S NOT GATHERED ANYWHERE
IN ONE PLACE. AB PLUS THIS ASK
SOME OTHER EXCELLENT QUESTIONS
THAT GO BEYOND WHAT WE GIVE OUR
PORTS SITE VERSION SUPPORT AND
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
IF YOU THINK YOUR TESTIMONY.
BOB WE HAVE SOME OF THE FOLKS
WHO WANT TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF
BILL. GOOD MORNING O. RICHARD
HALL ROOM THE PRESIDENT OF THE
SAN MATEO COUNTY COMMUNITY
COLLEGE BOARD. AND OR BOARD DID
VOTE UNANIMOUSLY LAST WEEK TO
SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION I DON'T
THINK WE MADE IT IN TIME FOR.
THE COMMITTEE ANALYSIS BUT IT IS
VERY VALUABLE INFORMATION
THAT'LL HELP OUR DISTRICT IN THE
ENTIRE SYSTEM UP WITH OUR
PLANNING FOR. ALLIED HEALTH
PROFESSION TRAINING THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
MR REMEMBER BRIAN HOW WITH THE
CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
TEACHERS. ON THIS STATE IS
HEADED INTO DANGEROUS TERRITORY
THIS BILL RECTIFIED AS IT WERE
STRONG SUPPORT THANK YOU.
ALARM A TICKET WITH THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE WE DON'T
HAVE AN OFFICIAL POSITION ON
THIS BILL BUT FOR MANY OF THE
REASONS PREVIOUSLY STATED BY
MISS VOCAL. WE AGREE WITH THAT A
DIRECTION IT'S GOING AND WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH THE AUTHOR
THE SPONSORED TO ENSURE EASE OF
COMPLIANCE WITH THE REPORTING.
THANK YOU.
Q..
FOR THE FOLKS WHO WANT TO RAISE
OPPOSITION CONCERNS YEAH.
THE MORNING TURN MEMBERS
JENNIFER TANNA HELL WITH AARON
READ AND ASSOCIATES ON BEHALF OF
AMERICAN CAREER COLLEGE IN WEST
COAST UNIVERSITY. AMERICAN KERR
COLLEGE OPERATING SINCE NINETEEN
SEVENTY EIGHT AND WAS BECAUSE
UNIVERSITY OPERATING SINCE
NINETEEN OH NINE HAVE AN
EXCELLENT REPUTATION FOR
PROVIDING TO.
EDUCATION
STUDENTS.
S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY EIGHT IS
CONCERNING FOR SEVERAL REASONS.
FIRST SCHOOLS DO NOT PAY
HOSPITALS TO PLACE STUDENTS IN
CLINICAL SPOTS NEEDED FOR
LICENSURE.
THE CONTRACTS WE HAVE FOR
CLINICAL PLACEMENTS ARE NOT
EXCLUSIVE.
HOSPITALS ARE NOT LIMITED WITH
WHOM THEY CAN CONTRACT.
SCHOOLS HAVE NO CONTROL OVER
WHAT CLINICAL PLACEMENTS THEIR
STUDENTS AND SHE RECEIVED.
ALSO SCHOOLS ALREADY REPORT THE
DATA CALLED FOR IN THE BILL TO
LICENSING BOARDS AND TO THE
ACCREDITING AGENCIES.
REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO AGAIN
REPORT THIS DATA BUT IN A
DIFFERENT WAY DOES NOT INCREASE
ACCESS TO THESE PROGRAMS OR
PROVIDE BETTER EDUCATIONAL
OUTCOMES.
IT WILL REQUIRE HIRING
ADDITIONAL ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF
TO PRODUCE THE DATA.
SECOND THE BPP RECENTLY
FINISHED REGULATIONS TO MAKE THE
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE FACT SHEET
MORE USEFUL TO STUDENTS FOR FOR
CHOOSING A SCHOOL.
REQUIRING CLINICAL DATA TO BE
ADDED TO THE SCHOOL PERFORMANCE
FACT SHEET DOES NOT INCREASE THE
STUDENTS CLARITY OF HOW THE
SCHOOL REALLY PERFORMS.
FOR THESE REASONS WE MUST
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE THE BILL.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN MAP
BACK REPRESENTING CAPS
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
PRIVATE POST SECONDARY SCHOOLS
WITH ABOUT TWO HUNDRED SCHOOLS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA. MANY OF
THEM DO TEACH ALLIED HEALTH
PROGRAMS. I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT
THAT WE RECOGNIZE WHAT ALLIED
HEALTH IS IT'S A LAUNDRY LIST OF
PROFESSIONS
SO IT'S NOT JUST NURSING ITS
MEDICAL BILLING ITS MEDICAL
ASSISTANCE ITS RESPIRATORY IT'S
ULTRASOUND IT'S. IT'S A WHOLE
LAUNDRY LIST.
BROWN
WE HAVE SCHOOLS BUT THAT TALK TO
pCAMPUS SCHOOL THEY HAVE A
HUNDRED DIFFERENT CLINICAL
SITES.
IF YOUR PHARMACY TECH YOUR ONE
ON ONE WITH THE PHARMACY YOU'RE
NOT GOING IN WITH.
STUDENTS
SO WE ARE CONSTANTLY WORKING TO
GET THESE CLINICAL SITES I AGREE
WITH THE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PERSON THAT'S SPOKEN IT IS A
CHALLENGE. BUT A CHALLENGE FOR
ALL OF US WERE IT NOT THAT WERE
COMPETING RIGHT NECESSARILY
AGAINST SCHOOL VERSUS SCHOOL BUT
WE ARE I MEAN IN THEORY
COMPETING FOR THOSE SLOTS IN
THERE MIGHT ONLY BE SO MANY
SOMETHING IT'S A VALID. DEBATE
OR DISCUSSION TO HAVE OF OF OR
THEY'RE AVAILABLE SITES.
I THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT IN
A COUPLE REGARDS Y. WERE OPPOSE
THE BILL ONE PER CERTAINLY
OFFENDED BY THE ACCUSATION THAT
WE'RE PAYING TO PLAY. ON THE
ANALYSIS SAYS THERE'S
ACCUSATIONS THERE'S NOT BEEN A
FACTOR HAS BEEN NONE NONE OF
YOUR WITNESS TESTIFY TO WHO'S
DOING THAT OR IN WHAT INSTANCES.
SO THAT IS FRUSTRATING
SO WE ARE NOT PAYING TO PLAY I
TALKED TO MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS WE
NEVER GOING TO THE SITE TO HEY
WHAT IF I
IF YOU ACT.
THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN AND MORE
OFFENDED BY THAT. ON THE SCHOOL
PERFORMANCE FACT SHEET
SO THIS IS A. FAIRLY CONCISE
DOCUMENT THAT WE NOT COMMUNITY
COLLEGES ONLY THE FOR PROFIT
SCHOOLS HAVE TO DO. IT DISCUSSES
THE PERFORMANCE OF THE SCHOOL
HOW WE'RE DOING WITH OUR
LICENSURE RATES HOW WE'RE DOING
WITH OUR PASSAGE RATE HOW WE'RE
DOING WITH THEIR GRADUATION
RATES HOW WE'RE DOING WITH OUR
DEEP
ALL RIGHTS.
IT'S SOMETHING A STUDENT LOOKS
UP BEFORE THEY COME TO SCHOOL.
IT'S THE PERFORMANCE OF THE
SCHOOL.
PUTTING ON THESE REQUIREMENTS IN
THIS CONCISE DOCUMENT WILL ONLY
CONFUSE STUDENTS WE DON'T HAVE
STUDENTS COMING TO A SANE WHERE
CAN I DO MY PHARMACY TECH WHERE
DID LAST YEAR STUDENT OR TWO
YEARS AGO STUDENTS DO THEIR
PHARMACY TECH. EVEN IF I
PROVIDED THAT INFORMATION TO
THEM NEXT YEAR THAT LIST OF
SCHOOLS ARE I'M SORRY THAT LIST
OF SITES WILL NOT PROBABLY BE
WHERE THEY GO TO THEIR FARM
THE TECH.
OR THEY GO DO THEIR MEDICAL
BILLING WERE LITERALLY DOING
MEDICAL BILLING AND DOCTOR PAINS
OFFICE OF A SINGLE PHYSICIAN WE
ARE GOING AND GETTING A MEDICAL
BILLING PERSON AT THAT ONE
MEDICAL OFFICE.
SO PUTTING ALL OF THAT
INFORMATION IN A SCHOOL
PERFORMANCE FACT SHEET WILL ADD
FOLKS TO THIS.
SO WE PROVIDE THIS WE PROVIDE
THAT ENROLLMENT AGREEMENT BE
PROVIDED SCHOOL PERFORMANCE FACT
SHEET WE PROVIDE A CATALOG WE
PROVIDE ANNUAL REPORTS. WE
PROVIDE ALL OF THEIR COURSE
CURRICULUM ALL OF THIS
INFORMATION BREAK IS PROVIDED TO
STUDENTS THIS IS A MORTGAGE
DOCUMENT THIS POINT RIGHT AT
WHAT POINT DO STUDENTS NOT FULLY
UNDERSTAND WHAT THEY'RE GETTING.
SO IT'S IT'S HELPFUL TO PROVIDE
CONCISE DOCUMENTS HOW WE'RE
DOING AGAIN COMMUNITY COLLEGES
DON'T HAVE TO DO THAT BUT WE DO.
AND SO WE GET CONCERNED WHEN
WERE JUST PILING ON MORE
INFORMATION AND AT WHAT VALUE.
AGAIN AS JENNIFER TELL POINT
OUT WE ALREADY PROVIDE A LOT OF
THIS INFORMATION WHETHER IT'S.
ETHNICITY IPADS THERE'S
NATIONAL INFORMATION.
DEMOCRATS BUT.
AND ALL THE OTHER STUFF.
I WOULD ARGUE BY THE WAY THAT WE
DO A GREAT JOB. OF HAVE BEEN I'M
APPROPRIATE NUMBERS IN THAT
REGARD AND BETTER THAN THE OTHER
SEGMENTS OF HIGHER EDUCATION.
AND THERE'S INFORMATION ABOUT
OUR CURRICULUM THAT WE HAVE TO
PROVIDE OUR LICENSING BOARD
PROVIDE A LOT OF THAT WE DO HAVE
TO PROVIDE INFORMATION ON A
CLINICAL SITES FOR CERTAIN
PROFESSIONS THAT ARE LICENSE NOT
ALL I WILL ADMIT THAT.
THE WHAT OUR BOARDS AND
REGULATORS DEMAND OF US
I'M SO
I THINK IT'S A FAIR DISCUSSION
TO TALK ABOUT HOW IT'S
CHALLENGING TO GET THESE
CLINICAL SITES.
I JUST DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS THE
RIGHT VEHICLE FOR IT AND ARE WE
JUST PILING ON MORE INFORMATION.
AND TWO THE COUNT WAS DOCUMENTS
THAT THE STUDENTS ARE ALREADY
GETTING. AND WE'RE NOT QUITE
SURE WHAT VALUE THEY'RE GOING TO
GET AYE THAT FOR THOSE REASONS
AGAIN WE WANT TO WORK WITH YOU
I'VE I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH YOUR
OFFICE HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET
AND SEE YOU.
SO WE WE WELCOME THE
CONVERSATION BUT AT THIS POINT
WE MUST REMAIN REMAIN OPPOSED.
CUT TO INTEREST CONCERNS.
OH YES MY NAME SET TO HE MENACE
TIME COULD DIRECTOR PRESIDENT
OF.
MAGNA TECHNICAL COLLEGE IN
POMONA BUT WE'RE A SMALL SCHOOL.
AS YOU HEARD BEFORE OUR
STUDENTS HAD TO SIGN PRETTY MUCH
MORTGAGE AGREEMENT JUST TO COME
TOWARD COURSE.
I IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO KEEP
BOLIVIA TO TRACK ALL THESE
THINGS MUCH SPECIALLY WHEN
YOU'RE SMALL INSTITUTION.
VERY VERY SMALL SPECIFIC PACIFIC
SCHOOL IT WOULD DO A VERY GOOD
JOB IN THE THINGS THAT WE DO
HAVE BEEN AROUND FOR ALMOST
FIFTEEN YEARS AND. I HAVE TO SAY
THAT I'M PUTTING ON MORE AND
MORE DISCLOSURE ISSUES DOESN'T
DO THE STUDENT WELL. WHAT IT
DOES IS IT MAKES IT MORE
DIFFICULT TO RESIST OUR PRICES
AT THE SCHOOL SITE BECAUSE
EVERYBODY SAYS HOW COMMITTEE SO
EXPENSIVE TO GET A?
A SMALL PROGRAM HOW COME BECAUSE
SO MUCH WELL BECAUSE OF ALL OF
THESE THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO
TRACK AND WE HAVE TO LOOK FOR WE
HAVE TO LOOK FOR. THINGS AS.
AMINAH BY NOW YOU KNOW.
ON THE COMMITTEE SCHOOL SITES
I'D BE DON'T HAVE YOU KNOW THERE
PROGRAMS I DON'T KNOW IF IT IS
THE CASE NOW BUT. ON OUR SIDE WE
TO A FAR PROGRAMS AMINA CERTAIN
JOB OF SPECIFIC IN OF THE LOOK
AT CERTAIN JOBS THE BISHOP IS
DOWN.
AND MY MY PROGRAMS UNDER FIVE
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS ME WERE
NOT A VERY BIG SCHOOL VERY SMALL
BUT YET. WHERE SPECIFICALLY
TRAINING IN THE PRESCHOOL THAT
TEACHER AREA? AND DATA IS VERY
VERY HEARTENING.
TO CONTINUE DOING THIS WHAT WE
DO HAVE WHAT WHEN MEDICAL SYSTEM
PROGRAM AND THE REASON WE
STOPPED INVOLVING THE PROGRAM
BECAUSE. IT WAS BECAUSE OF THE
HIGH COST OF THINGS IN ME
WOULDN'T THINK IT WAS AN
APPROPRIATE THING TO KEEP
OFFERING IN MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM. IN INCOME MONA BECAUSE
OF ALL OF THESE ARE JEWISH
THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO GET
RELEASE HOOPS AND EVERYTHING
JUST TO TRAIN UP FOR A PERSON IN
THE AND.
THE AREA.
SO WE WE CONCUR WITH OUR WITH
THE MY COLLEAGUES ON WITH THE
SCHOOLS THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
THANK YOU SIR.
ARMS.
SO SENATOR I DO.
WHAT WAS WHAT SO I THINK YOU
KNOW? EVERYBODY AND.
CAN AGREE THAT IT'S GOOD TO GIVE
STUDENTS INFORMATION I I. YOU
KNOW I UNDERSTAND.
THERE IS A TAMI SAID FOR TOO
MUCH INFORMATION THOUGH. I
WONDER HOW MUCH OF THAT STACK IS
ACTUALLY MANDATED RATHER THAN
JUST THE INFORMATION YOU PROVIDE
THE STUDENTS.
ALL OF IT. THE ENTIRE WERE
REGULAR I SEEN LIZA CREDIT POST
SECONDARY EDUCATION AND WE ARE
REQUIRED TO PROVIDE ALL OF THAT
INFORMATION SOME OF IT THEY HAVE
TO SIGN AS WELL RIGHT THAT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT.
HE DID BUT THESE
CERTAINLY AND WE ALSO HAVE TO
PROVIDE ON A WEBSITE
SO IT'S IT'S BOTH
ELECTRONICALLY.
AND PRESENTED TO THE STUDENT AT
OUR REGULAR BY THE BUREAU.
OKAY AND TO LOOK INTO THAT A
LITTLE BIT AND.
I'M I'VE YOU KNOW PART OF THAT
CHALLENGE OFTENTIMES IS IT WHILE
ANY INDIVIDUAL PIECE OF
INFORMATION MAY NOT BE USEFUL
FOR ANY INDIVIDUAL STUDENT. IT'S
IMPORTANT HAVE INFORMATION OUT
THERE SYSTEMICALLY. POSITED
JOURNALISTS AND OTHERS CAN
UNDERSTAND TRENDS IN ANY ISSUES
I'M AND ALSO BUTTE RESEARCHERS
WHO ARE LOOKING AT TRENDS AND
POLICY MAKERS AS WELL. THAT ALL
BEING SAID AYE AYE SIR LIAM
SYMPATHETIC TO THE ARGUMENT THAT
WE DON'T WANT TO UNNECESSARILY
CREATE. PAPERWORK AND.
I I GET MY QUESTION I SUPPOSE
TTU CENTERS FOR HOW DO YOU
RESPOND TO SOME OF THE ISSUES
THAT WERE RAISED IN AND DONE.
I IT HOW WE MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
NOT.
DO MAKE WORK AND REALLY
PROVIDING MEANINGFUL INFORMATION
TO BOTH THE STUDENTS AND ALSO.
POLICYMAKERS AND SIGH A LARGE AS
IT RELATES TO THIS FIELD. OFFER
FIRST OF ALL I WANT TO SAY THAT
THAT SOME WHO WANT TO WORK WITH
THE.
THE OPPOSITION I WAS ADMIT THAT
WE'RE NOT A FIGHT WITH YOU BY
UNITS OR WHATEVER THAT I WORK
WITH YOU TO SEE IF IT THAT
FIGURES OUT BITING Y. THINGS
THAT'S REALLY CRITICAL TO KEEP
IN MIND. OR TALK ABOUT.
HEALTH. YEAH WE EDUCATING HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS ALRIGHT AND. THIS
IS WHAT THIS IS ABOUT INCLUDING
ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS.
BEES ARE.
CLINICAL.
AT.
THE EXPERIENCES ARE NOT JUST I
MEAN CALL CLINICAL EXPERIENCES
BUT I MEAN IT'S IT'S ESSENTIAL
PART OF THE EDUCATION SO IT'S
NOT.
AVAILABLE OR ITS
IT'S YOU KNOW IT'S NOT WELL
STRUCTURED.
IT'S IF AND AND WE DO HAVE
SEALED SOMETIMES WHAT HAPPENS IS
THAT THESE CLINICAL SITES I'VE
THEY'RE NOT.
IT'S.
VISITORS IN A WAY TO SEARCH
TRACK WHAT ABOUT REVIEW
SOMETIMES PEOPLE ARE LAST MINUTE
COBBLING STUFF TOGETHER AND DAD
CAN IMPACT THE ONE EDUCATION OF
THE STUDENTS AND WHAT THEY'RE
GETTING. BUT THE OTHER THE OTHER
THING THAT WE ALSO NEED TO LOOK
AT AS WELL AND THIS PART OF TIME
LOOK AT THE LARGER PICTURE IS IS
THAT.
DOES IS WE SEE THIS GROWING
DEMAND FOR.
OUR OUR HEALH PROFESSIONALS
BECAUSE AGING POPULATION
ACTUALLY BECAUSE OF OUR ABILITY
TO HELP THAT PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES LIVE LONGER AND
BETTER LIVES AND ADVANCED
TECHNOLOGY AND SO FORTH.
WE I NEED TO BE SURE THAT.
WE HAD ALSO.
HAVE.
SUFFICIENT.
LOCATIONS AND OPPORTUNITIES TO
DO TRAINING AND WHERE DID
DISTRIBUTED.
SO FOR EXAMPLE IF THEY'RE ALL
CONSEQUENCE LACE THAT PEOPLE
TEND T PRACTICE WHERE THEY GET
EDUCATED RIGHT WHAT AT STUDENTS
WHO MAY BE. LOOKING
FOR IF I'M JUST USING THIS GOAL
VERSES THAT SCHOOL.
TYPE CITY CLINICAL EXPERIENCE
BECAUSE THAT IS AS ESSENTIAL
PART OF THE EDUCATION THAT JUST
THE COURSE WORK IT'S ACTUALLY
THE CLINICAL SITES ARE
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT. BENEFITS
IT'S ALRIGHT TO LET US THAT THE
SPONSORS OF THE ALSO SPEAK TO
THAT.
WE RECOGNIZE THE DIFFICULTY
REPORTING AND NOT KILLING PEOPLE
WITH PAPERWORK THAT NO
INFORMATION IS BEING SPREAD BY.
CURRENTLY THERE'S NOT A
REPORTING IN A CONSISTENT MANNER
FOR INSTANCE ALVY AND AND.
T. DON'T HAVE TO REPORT THEIR
LICENSE FOR THE PLACEMENTS ARE
SO AND WANTED TO USE THAT
WITHOUT.
CREATING TOO MUCH OWNERS SO
WE'RE DEATHLY OPEN TO WORKING.
WITH EVERYONE TO MAKE THIS THE
BEST APPROACH POSSIBLE HOWEVER
WE JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
THERE IS CLEAR WAYS FOR PEOPLE
TO GET THIS INFORMATION. AND FOR
EVERYONE TO SEE THOSE OPTIONS
ESPECIALLY.
WITH ALLIED HEALTH CARE SOME
FOR PROFITS HAVE HAD THE
SITUATION WHERE THEY HAVE TO THE
STUDENTS ARE.
PUT ON THEMSELVES TO FIND THEIR
OWN POLICEMAN SO I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT STUDENTS TO KNOW
WHETHER THERE ARE CLINICAL
PLACEMENTS AND WHAT THAT SUCCESS
RADIUS.
OKAY THANK YOU I'M QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE SO CENTER BY
DOCUMENTS AND LIVE.
THE CENTER OUT. WITH LOOKING AT
THE THE LARGER PICTURE LIKE YOU
SAID IT WOULDN'T IS READING MY
NOTES HERE IS OUR THAT YOU
SEASON THE CS USE EXCLUDED FROM
THIS MAINTENANCE COSTS.
IS THAT ACCURATE.
BUT THINK BASICALLY WE'RE
FOCUSING ON THE PLACE WHERE THE
ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONALS ARE
TRAINED ACTUALLY.
SO RIGHT NOW ARE FOCUSING ON
ALLIED HEALTH CARE AND THAT IS
UP.
MORE THAN MAJORITY DON NOT A FOR
PROFIT AND
PHOENICOPTERIFORMESFAMILY BY.
WE WANT FULL REPORTING BUT I
THINK AT THIS TIME WE'RE JUST
GONNA ALLIED HEALTH CARE ARE AND
A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE CSU AND
UC'S SIDE. SO I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING A CONVERSATION TO
HAVE.
PERHAPS ANOTHER YEAR WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE WE DO DATA SMALL SCALE
BUT I'D HEALTH CARE IF WE FIND
OUT THAT THAT'S THE SUCCESSFUL
WAY TO GET INFORMATION AND HELP
IMPROVE SLOP PLACEMENT. BUT
SOMETHING WE COULD BE CONSIDERED
ON THE ROAD. WHY WOULD WE WANT
THE BIGGER PICTURE?
IMMEDIATELY I THINK RIGHT NOW
WE'RE JUST TRYING TO FIND
INFORMATION AND START THE GROUND
FLOOR SO.
.
AND AT OUT ALSO SAY IS THAT THE.
PRIVATE MORE SIGNIFICANT
PROBLEMS ARE AT THE ALLIED
HEALTH FOR SO FOR EXAMPLE IN
MEDICINE WE HAVE TO DO YOU KNOW
CLINICAL ROTATIONS AND SO FORTH
BUT THERE'S A VERY ROBUST
ACCREDITATION.
UP PROCESS THAT ENSURES THAT AND
SOMEONE WHO'S ACTUALLY SURVIVE
PREDATION BY TEACHERS THAT THOSE
ARE BACHELORS CLINICAL
COMMITMENTS ACTUALLY HAVE TO BE
IN CONTRACT AND AVAILABLE FOR
REVIEW BY GRADATION BODY.
BEFORE YOU CAN EVEN TAKE UP
RESIDENCE SO. THAT THIS TYPE OF
OVERSIGHT IS NOT IS NECESSARY
BECAUSE OF THREE BEEN DONE BY
THINK AND ALLIED HEALTH FIELD
ITS LUMBER TRICKY IN CENTER
SPEND SOME SITUATIONS AGAIN IT'S
NOT. ON THE SIDE THE NORM BUT.
WHERE SOMEONE ME GOING TO TRAIN
PROGRAMS OUR LIVELIHOOD THAT THE
ABILITY
TO OPERATE OUR SCHOOLS ARE BASED
ON OUR RESULTS?
SO YOU KNOW WE WE WE HAVE TO PUT
OUT THERE ARE PASSAGE RATES ARE
GRADUATION RATES ARE GAINFUL
EMPLOYMENT RATES MEAN AND SOME
OF THOSE ARE LINKED TO APPROVALS
FOR YOU KNOW QUALIFYING.
KNOWN FOR GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT
TITLE FOR SO SO IF WE DON'T
PLACE OUR STUDENTS IN CLINICAL
BEEN THEY DON'T GRADUATE AND
THEN THEY DON'T GET PLACED AND
THEY DON'T PASTORAL LICENSE SO
WE. IF ANYBODY WE ABSOLUTELY ARE
DOING EVERYTHING WE CAN TO
ENSURE THAT OUR.
HOW THE AVAILABLE CLINICAL SITES
AGAIN I'M NOT GONNA SAY IT'S AN
EASY PROCESS?
BUT AGAIN THERE ARE EXAMPLES
THERE ARE THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF
STUDENTS COMING UP HERE SAYING
SO IT'S VERY RARE THAT THAT
WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN OF THAT TENS
OF THOUSANDS OF STUDENTS ARE NOT
GOING TO SAY NEVER. BUT IT'S
VERY RARE AND IS THAT WARRANT.
EVERYTHING THAT WE'RE GONNA HAVE
TO DO FOR THOSE ONE OFFS THAT
MIGHT HAVE HAPPENED.
THANK.
INTERESTING OKAY.
DELIVER.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR. O. I
MEAN TO SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY

WAY TO MAKE IT NOT TOO
CUMBERSOME.
FOR THE SCHOOLS TO DO THIS AND
THAT IF WE REALLY DO THINK THAT
THERE'S THE ACCUSATIONS OF PAY
FOR PLAY ARE HAPPENING I THINK
IT'S OF ACQUISITION AT
ACCUSATIONS. WHICH ACTUALLY HAVE
BUT I VERY MUCH ALONG THOSE
LINES COULD YOU TO.
WORKING TOGETHER.
I'D THIRD TO SEE IF YOU CAN COME
UP WITH SOME WAYS TO TO TO MEET
HERE. HERE HEARD VARIOUS CALLS
AND THAT WHICH I DON'T SEEK AS
BEING NECESSARILY.
I'M.
THE OTHER NIGHT UNABLE TO TO
RECTIFY TO RECONCILE SO
IRRECONCILABLE.

BE BRIEF.
SO THANK YOU SIR DUSTER.
YES I CAN. SO HELLO CHAIR ALLEN
ONCE AGAIN IN. THE LISTING WHICH
COMMITTEE MEMBERS OF MY NAME IS
JUST OUTSIDE THE US HILL AND I'M
A CURRENT STUDENT SACRAMENTO
CITY COLLEGE AND A FORMER
STUDENT OF THE ELLIOTT COMMUNITY
COLLEGE DISTRICT.
I AM HERE TO COME TO REPRESENT
OUR TWO POINT THREE MILLION
STUDENTS AND CALIPHATE OUR
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM. WHO
ALL STRUGGLE WITH FOOD AND
SECURITY ARE FOR THE MOST PART A
LOT OF US IT'S IS A PERVASIVE
THAT WHEN WE DEAL WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT FOOD INSECURITY IN OUR
SYSTEM HOW MUCH IT AFFECTS
EVERYONE AROUND US INCLUDING?
EVEN CLOSE FRIENDS OF MYSELF AND
I DO HAVE SOME TESTIMONY FROM A
FORMER STUDENT AND FROM EAST LA
COLLEGE.
A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AGO WHEN MY
MOTHER QUIT HER JOB TO JUST DUE
TO DISCRIMINATION I WAS WORKING
ONCE A WEEK AND HAD TO HELP PAY
RENT.
AT THE TIME MY MOM AND I WERE
BOTH LIVING IN THE BACK
POORHOUSE NO SLEEPING ON THE
FLOOR. IBM THE STRESS AT SCHOOL
BUT CONTINUED MY SIXTEEN UNICOR
SLOWED THE UC APPLICATION COST
ME SIX HUNDRED DOLLARS BIKER
THROUGH ALL MY MONEY IN MY
APPLICATIONS.
I WAS EATING FOOD IT IN HIGHS IN
SODIUM AND TEACH IN ENGLISH
TEACHERS WOULD SAVE ME FOOD AND
LEFTOVERS I WAS LOSING AN OUNCE
OF BLOOD EVERY DAY FROM THE
LINING OF MY STOMACH. I WAS
EATING ONCE A DAY AND I WAS
AFRAID TO ASK FOR HELP THE
ACCUMULATION OF STRESS AND NOT
EATING CAUSE ME TO BUILD ULCERS
AND QUIT EVERYTHING I WAS A PART
OF. I'D QUIT MY JOB TO CONTINUE
MY CLASSES.
THE CONSEQUENCE WAS THAT I HAD
TO PAY TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS A
MONTH FOR MEDICINE AND PACKING
LUNCH AND EXETER I TRAIL MANAGED
BY SHARING WITH OTHER STUDENTS
WERE AROUND FOR.
PEOPLE THAT PEOPLE SHOULDN'T EAT
EVERYDAY THAT'S JUST THE REALITY
OF IT.
AND I MEAN I JUST WANT TO RE
EMPHASIZE.
A COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS.
DEAL WITH SOME FORM HOUSING IS
SECURITY IN OVER HALF A LAW
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS DEAL WITH
SOME FORM FOOD INSECURITY.
AND BUT WHEN WE LOOK AT THIS
WHAT'S IMPORTANT IS NOT JUST
THAT WE'RE ALL SUFFERING IT'S SO
WE'RE STILL CHOOSING TO BE
STUDENTS.
BUT WERE STILL MAKING THE CHOICE
TO GIVE UP HOUSING TO GIVE UP
FOOD.
ACTUALLY PROVIDE IN OUR. INNER
SAYS ACTUALLY BE ABLE PROVIDERS
HELPS.
TO ACTUALLY BE ABLE TO GET THE
MEANS TO PROVIDE OURSELVES AND
GIVEN THAT. WE KEEP PUSHING
BECAUSE IT'S ALL WEEKEND.
AND IT'S ALREADY BEEN SHOWN THAT
WHILE WE ARE ON FINANCIALLY AND
WHILE WE ARE WORKING OVER THIRTY
PERCENT THIRTY PERCENT OF US ARE
STILL FOOD INSECURE AND THAT'S A
STATISTIC FROM AS ON THE JEWISH
RESPONSE TO HUNGER OR FIGHTING
EVERY DAY TO SECURE THE MEANS.
EVENTUALLY PROVIDE FOR OURSELVES
WHAT WE CURRENTLY CAN'T BUT SO
MANY MORE OF US WOULD BE
COMPLETING IF WE'RE JUST GETTING
A LITTLE MORE HELP AND THAT'S
ALL WE'RE ASKING FOR TODAY.
I THINK YOU PROCUREMENTS
APPRECIATE. IT'S HIM.
THE NAME IS THE KEY TO VOEPEL I
AM A FOURTH YEAR STUDENTS
STUDYING POLITICAL SCIENCE AT UC
IRVINE AND I SERVICE THE
GOVERNMENT RELATIONSHIP FOR THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA STUDENT
ASSOCIATION.
WHEN I WAS ACCEPTED TO UC
IRVINE I WAS GRATEFUL TO BE
ELIGIBLE FORTHE POLKA AND CAL
GRANT BE AND A COMBINATION OF
BOTH HAS ALLOWED ME TO COVER MY
TUITION.
BUT AS NOT.
.
HOLDEN HOW MUCH I WOULD HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT OTHER COSTS ATTEND
COLLEGE LIKE RENT TRANSPORTATION
AND FOOD.
AS A CALL CAN BE AWARD RECIPIENT
ACCESS OR DOESN'T NEED TO PAY
FOR SOME OF THOSE SONG TUITION
BECAUSE. PLACE IS A FRACTION OF
MY OVERALL COSTS
AND STILL DOESN'T LEVY ALL
THE-CHALLENGES I FACE AS A
RESULT OF
THESE RISING ON TUITION COSTS OF
ATTENDING THE UC.
DURING MY THIRD YEAR COLLEGE MY
ROOMMATES AND I MADE THE
DECISION TO MOVE OUT OF IRVINE
AND INTO THE NEIGHBORING CITY OF
COSTA MESA BECAUSE WE COULD NO
LONGER AFFORD TO LIVE IN. LINE.
THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE AT
UCI WHERE SMALL TWO BEDROOM
APARTMENT CAN REACH UPWARDS OF
TWENTY THREE HUNDRED TO TWENTY
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN MONTHLY
RAT.
THE DECISION TO MOVE FELT LIKE A
RESPONSIBLE ONE. CHEAPER RANT
MAN I CAN USE THE MONEY I WAS
SAVING FOR MY DAILY MEALS AND
TRANSPORTATION TO AND FROM
CAMPUS. BUT WHAT I DIDN'T
ACCOUNT FOR IS HOW THAT
SACRIFICE OF TIME IN PROXIMITY
TO CAMPUS AFFECTED MY ABILITY TO
EVERY DAY THING
I TAKE FOR GRANTED.
LIKE EATING.
AND JUST TO GIVE AN IDEA OF WHAT
A DAY TO DAY LOOK LIKE BETWEEN
CLASSES AND WORK I HAD TO BE ON
CAMPUS FROM EIGHT AM TO. EIGHT
PM MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY I HAD
NO TIME TO COMMUTE BACK TO MY
HOUSE AND MAKING AFFORDABLE
INTEREST
S. MAIL. AT ON CAMPUS I DON'T
HAVE OPTIONS WHICH KEEP YOU
HEALTHY FOOD TO CHOOSE FROM.
I TRY TO BE SMART CITY JACOB
WHILE ALL MY MEALS I ATTEMPTED
TO PREPARE MY MEALS FOR THE
ENTIRE WEEK EVERY SUNDAY. BUT
THAT BECAME CLOSE IMPOSSIBLE AS
FINALS CAME CLOSER AND MY
WEEKENDS ARE FILLED WITH
STUDYING AND.
IT GOT TO THE POINT WHERE I WAS
FORCED TO SKIP MEALS IN ORDER TO
JUGGLE. EVERYTHING I WAS DOING I
WOULD SKIP BREAKFAST TRIED TO
MAKE A SMALL AND CHEAP.
MEAL LIKE THIS WITH YOUR
SANDWICH FOR LUNCH AND THEN TRY
TO HAVE DINNER AT LEAST FIVE
TIMES A WEEK.
DINNERS WOULD RANGE FROM MAKING
SOMETHING OUT OF TECHNOLOGY
GROCERIES FROM TRADER JOE'S
RAMAN NOODLES AND A FIVE DOLLAR
MEAL AND.
WHICH IS POSSIBLE WITH THE
GRILLED CHEESE AND SMALL.
.
WHEN YOU'RE STUDENT COLLEGE YOUR
WHOLE MIND SET HUSSEY CHANGE.
MY FAMILY AND I IMMIGRATED HERE
IN TWO THOUSAND ONE AND I WAS IN
BED WITH THAT MENTALITY TO WORK
HARD.
AND BASICALLY HOW MUCH WORK IN
MY GOING UP TO PUT IN TO GO FROM
POINT A TO POINT B..
BUT WAS I ENTERED COLLEGE IT WAS
NO LONGER WHAT I HAVE TO DO TO
GO ON A LOT IT'S WHAT DO I HAVE
TO GIVE UP TO GET WHAT I NEED.
OFTENTIMES THAT SACRIFICE IS MY
HOPE.
THIS IS HONESTLY THE FIRST TIME
I'VE SPOKEN UP ON MY EXPERIENCE
AND ITS BECAUSE I PROCEED TO.
INITIALLY AS A PERSONAL
INDIVIDUAL ISSUE.
BUT I'M A RESIDENT ADVISER NOW
AND I HAVE SIXTY AMAZING
FRESHMEN AND THEY'RE BASICALLY
MY LIFE NOW AND I SEE AS THE BIG
OUT THERE HOUSING SITUATION FOR
THE NEXT SCHOOL YEAR. I SEE THEM
HAVING TO FIGURE OUT THINGS LIKE
FOOD AND TRANSPORTATION AND WHAT
IS HAPPENING TO ME IS GOING TO
HAPPEN TO THEM.
THIS ISSUE IS PREVALENT AND
PERMEATES BEYOND JUST BEING MY
OUR STUDENTS AND YOU SEE
STUDENTS AS AFFECTING ALSO HAS
ACOSTA THREE SYSTEMS. A PUBLIC
HIGHER ED THE PLAN AGAINST
COLLEGE HUNGER ACT
WE TAKE STEPS TO CHANGE THAT BY
ACCOMMODATING FOR FOOD
INSECURITY INTO A COW GOT AWAY
PACKAGES AND AVOIDING STUDENTS
AT LEAST TEN MILES PER WEEK IT
WOULD HELP ELIMINATE THE CULTURE
OF HUNGER. THAT'S A MUCH ON AYE
CAMPUSES AND ALLOW STUDENTS
ACCESS TO REGULAR MEALS SAID OUR
REAL FOCUS REMAINS ON OUR
EDUCATION.
THANK YOU.
A GOOD MORNING EVERYONE AND THEN
BE VERY BRIEF. MY NAME IS
MATTHEW I AM A STUDENT AT CSU
STANISLAUS AND VERY PRIVILEGED
TO SERVE AS THE PRESIDENT OF
THE.
STUDENT ASSOCIATION ARE CSSA
WHICH REPRESENTS ALL STUDENTS IN
THE CSU SYSTEM.
WE AT CSAA ARE VERY CONCERNED
ABOUT THE RATES OF DIDN'T
HOUSING INSECURITY AMONG
STUDENTS AND THE CSU SYSTEM.
WHICH WE NOW ARE HIGHLY
DETRIMENTAL TO STUDENT SUCCESS
AND WHILE BEING.
A RECENT REPORT FROM THE
CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE FOUND THAT
FORTY ONE POINT SIX PERCENT OF
STUDENTS SURVEYED HAD REPORTED
SOME LEVEL OF FOOD INSECURITY.
MEANING THAT NEARLY TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND STUDENTS JUST MY SYSTEM
ALONE.
WE'RE STRUGGLING TO PULL
TOGETHER ENOUGH RESOURCES TO
SECURE NUTRITIOUS FOOD FOR
THEMSELVES ON A REGULAR BASIS.
YOU AN LIKELY IMAGINE JUST HOW
DIFFICULT IT WOULD BE FOR A
STUDENT TO PAY ATTENTION IN
CLASS.
LITTLE ENTERTAINMENT NECESSARY
INFORMATION TO SUCCEED AT A HIGH
LEVEL IN GRADUATE IN A TIMELY
MANNER.
WHEN ALL HE CAN THINK ABOUT AS
THEIR HUNGER AND WHERE THE MY
LOOK AT THEIR NEXT MEAL.
CAMPUSES ARE TAKING GREAT STEPS
TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE FROM ON
SITE FOOD PANTRIES TO WORKSHOPS
TEACHING HOW TO STUDENTS HOW TO
SIGN UP FOR CONFERENCE.
AS WELL AS DEVELOPING A
SMARTPHONE APPS THAT TELLS
STUDENTS WHEN THERE'S LEFTOVER
FOOD FROM CATERED EVENTS ON.
S..
BUT IT'S JUST NOT ENOUGH.
THE TEN MEALS PER WEEK PROVIDED
BY THIS PLAN AGAINST COLLEGE
HUNGER PROGRAM WOULD BE LIFE
CHANGING FOR MANY OF OUR
STUDENTS WHO STRUGGLE WITH FOOD
AND SECURITY AS THEY GO THROUGH
COLLEGE.
WE KNOW THAT STUDENTS DO BETTER
MANY OF REGULAR ACCESS TO
HEALTHY FOOD AND WHEN THEY CAN
STAY ON CAMPUS AS MUCH AS
POSSIBLE.
I HAVE NO DOUBT THIS PROGRAM
WILL BE OF GREAT BENEFIT TO OUR
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF
STUDENTS. WHO WAIT DESPERATELY
FOR AN ALERT FROM THEIR
SMARTPHONE AFTER THERE'S
LEFTOVER PIZZA IN THE LOUNGE?
THIS PROGRAM IS A DIGNIFIED WAY
OF KEEPING STUDENTS SAFER AND
HEALTHIER SO THEY CAN FOCUS ON
THEIR STUDY THINK DO GREAT
THINGS FOR THIS STATE. THANK YOU
FOR YOUR TIME.
OKAY.
HELLO.
MY NAME IS DANIEL NAY KEY AND I
AM A THIRD YEAR ECONOMICS AND
PSYCHOLOGY DOUBLE MAJOR AT UC
DAVIS.
FOOD INSECURITY IS SOMETHING MY
FAMILY AND I HAVE STRUGGLED WITH
MY WHOLE LIFE BEING HIT BY
PROGRAM SUCH AS WICKR EBT. WALL
LEVIN SUPPORT WAS ALWAYS AN
ABUNDANCE
FOOD WAS NOT.
FAST FORWARD TO THE BEGINNING OF
COLLEGE LIVING ON MY OWN FOR THE
FIRST TIME TRYING TO SCRAPE UP.
SCRAPE UP ENOUGH MONEY FOR
SKYROCKETING RENTS FOOD AND
SCHOOL SUPPLIES LEFT ME BROKE.
AND NOT THE KIND OF PROCS
STUDENTS JOKE ABOUT WHEN THEY'VE
SPENT ALL THEIR PARENTS MONEY
THE KIND OF PROGRAM THAT YOU MY
FRIENDS TO LEND YOU MONEY FROM
MY NEXT MEAL.
IT'S EASY TO FORGET WHEN YOU'RE
SURROUNDED BY ELEGANT FOOD PAID
FOR BY YOUR SUPPORTERS THAT THE.
DOES NOT COME EASY TO ALL.
IMAGINE WORKING.
WORKING YOUR ENTIRE DAY TODAY
INCOME COMING HOME.
AND NOT HAVING FOR A HOT MEAL ON
THE TABLE.
PEOPLE VOLUNTARILY SKIP MEALS
BECAUSE THEY FOR. NOT BECAUSE
THEY FORGOT AND NOT BECAUSE THEY
DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO EAT BECAUSE
BUT BECAUSE THEY SIMPLY CANNOT
AFFORD A MEAL. EITHER EDUCATION
SYSTEM BECOMES MORE PRIVATIZING
EXPENSIVE IT BECOMES LESS SIX.
TO LOWER INCOME STUDENTS
MONEY SHOULD NEVER BE A BARRIER
TO ANYONE WHO WANTS EDUCATION
YET WHEN CHOOSING BETWEEN HAVING
A MEAL WHICH MEANS WORKING OR
GOING TO CLASS I'M GOING TO
CHOOSE WORK.
SOME STUDENTS DON'T EVEN HAVE
THE LUXURY OF CHOOSING THEY JUST
STARVE.
WHAT IF THERE WAS SOMETHING WE
COULD DO ABOUT IT WHAT IF THERE
WAS A WAY TO FEEDING HUNGRY
STUDENTS WITH A HUNGER TO LEARN
AND STAY IN SCHOOL? WELL THERE
IS SUPPORT S. B. TWELVE SEVENTY
FIVE HELP STUDENTS LIKE ME
SURVIVE COLLEGE HUNGER FREE.
THANK YOU.
OUR MOST FOLKS WANT TO PRESERVE
THEIR SUPPORT FOR THE BILL.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN BURSTS
JUST OF OUR FLOW WITH THE
WESTERN CENTER ON LAW AND
POVERTY AS FUNDS FOR THIS BILL.
SUPPORT THANK YOU.
BUT WE CAN'T FROM UC DAVIS.
AND SUPPORT FOR THE BILL I JUST
WANT TO SAY THAT S. B. TWELVE
SEVENTY FIVE WILL GO A LONG WAY
TOWARD HELPING OUR STUDENTS WITH
THE CHRONIC STRESS THAT COMES
FROM. NOT KNOWING WHERE YOUR
NEXT MEAL IS.
EMILY RESIDENT WITH SERVICE
EMPLOYEES INTERNATIONAL UNION IN
STRONG SUPPORT TAKES.
BRENDA BIGGER FOR THAT
CALIFORNIA'S TO NAY COMMISSION
WE DON'T HAVE A FORMAL SUPPORT
POSITION LARGELY DUE TO TIMING
BUT THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT
BILL THAT LEVERAGES EXISTING
STATE PROGRAMS TO ADDRESS THIS
VERY IMPORTANT ISSUE. STARVING
STUDENTS USED TO BE A WHIMSICAL
REFERENCE.
AND THE SUIT NAY COMMISSION
RECOGNIZES THAT.
TO HELP THANK YOU THANK YOU.

IMPORTANT BILL.
I'M THIS BUILDS OUT OF SOME WORK
AT THE COMMITTEES TO AND IN THE
PAST AND AND CENTER WILL CURE
THERE WHEN WE WERE SITTING DOWN
TALKING ABOUT THE EXTENT TO
WHICH.
I WE ARE.
FOR FILLING THE VERY IMPORTANT
GOALS IN OUR EDUCATION COULD AS
IT RELATES TO ARTS EDUCATION.
HOW WE ALL KNOW WHAT AN
IMPORTANT ROLE ARTS EDUCATION
PLAYS IN? STUDENTS PARTICULARLY
BY THOSE TUNES WERE MOST
VULNERABLE THE STUDENTS ARE MOST
LIKELY TO DROP OUT ITS FOUND
OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT A
STRONG ARTS EDUCATION CAN REALLY
BE THE DIFFERENCE.
I FOR THOSE THOSE STUDENTS WERE
THE MORE DISCONNECTED AND FROM
FROM THE TRADITIONAL.
CURRICULUM AND THERE'S
SOMETHING ABOUT ARTS EDUCATION
THAT CONNECTS THEM IN A
DIFFERENT WAY THAT. SPEAKS TO
THEM THAT MAKES THEM FEEL AS
THOUGH THEY CAN ACTUALLY BE
SUCCESSFUL IN THE CLASSROOM.
I IN A WAY THAT SOME OF OUR
OTHER CLASSES SOMETIMES CANCEL
THIS BILL ESTABLISHES THE ARTS
FOR EVERY STUDENT ACT IT'S
INTENDED TO TO CLOSE THE GAP IN
ACCESS.
DIVISION PERFORMING ARTS
EDUCATION FOR CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS IN IT SO IT DOES SO BY
CREATING AN INCENTIVE GRANT
PROGRAM FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
EXPAND VISUAL PERFORMING ARTS
INSTRUCTION.
NOW. ARE WE KNOW THAT OUR CODE
DOES REQUIRE THAT STUDENTS
INDICATED TWELVE RECEIVE ARTS
EDUCATION THAT INCLUDES ELEMENTS
OF DANCE AND MUSIC VISUAL ARTS
AND THEATRE. BUT IT TURNS OUT
THAT ONLY THIRTY NINE PERCENT OF
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS WERE
ENROLLED IN ARTS COURSE DURING
THE PAST.
SCHOOL YEAR.
I HAD TO DO THAT SOMETHING WE'RE
TRYING TO ADDRESS WE'RE TRYING
TO USE THIS OPPORTUNITY IN THE
BUDGET TO PROVIDE A ONE TIME
INVESTMENT
WE NEW PROGRAMS FOR SCHOOLS WITH
LIMITED ARTS.
RESOURCES AND MATCH LOCAL FUNDS
FOR EXISTING PROGRAMS IN ORDER
TO EXPAND. ARTS EDUCATION ACCESS
AND OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS
ACROSS THE STATE.
WE'RE HOPING THAT THAT COMING
OUT OF THIS PROGRAM WILL WILL
HAVE SOME SCALABLE PROGRAMS THAT
WE CAN HELP TO REALLY CHANGE THE
WAY WE THINK ABOUT WITH THE WAY
WE DO ARTS EDUCATION THE STATE.
AND SO WITH THAT I I AM VERY
PLEASED TO WELCOME A FEW PEOPLE
HERE WHO WILL BRIEFLY.
PRESENT THEIR THEIR THOUGHTS
AND IN THEIR SUPPORT FOR THIS
BILL MONIQUE MITCHELL WHO'S FROM
THE GET LIT WORDS IGNITE. WHICH
IS AN ORGANIZATION THAT USES.
POETRY TO INCREASE LITERACY AND
EMPOWER YOUTH INSPIRED
COMMUNITIES BUT WHEN YOU'RE
WHOSE THE EXECUTOR AFTER THE SAN
FRANCISCO CHAPTER THE RECORDING
ACADEMY AND CAMILO AND I WAS A.
TWENTY SIXTEEN AYE GRAMMY
NOMINEE BOARD OF GOVERNORS
RECORDING ACADEMY FOR THE
SOUTHEAST CHAPTER AND SO WE'RE
VERY PLEASED TO HAVE SOME VERY
TALENTED PEOPLE HERE TO. SPEAK
ABOUT SUPPORT THE BILL.
BELOW WHEN I WAS IN NINTH GRADE
I ATTENDED HIGH SCHOOL IN THE
CRENSHAW DISTRICT AND I FLUNKED
NEARLY ALL OF MY CLASSES. IN WAS
SINCE THE SUMMER SCHOOL. BUT BY
ELEVENTH GRADE I WAS ON ON A
RULE AND PERFORMING AROUND MY
LOCAL COMMUNITY BECAUSE I WAS
INTRODUCED TO APPROACH YOU
PROGRAM.
POETRY AND ARTS EDUCATION HELPED
INTRODUCE ME TO THE HUMAN
EXPERIENCE AND THE IDEA THAT WE
ARE ALL THE SAME. WE HAVE EACH
EXPERIENCE SOME VARIATION OF JOY
SADNESS PAIN AND FEAR.
I WAS INTRODUCED TO COUNTY
KULLEN A POET DURING THE HARLEM
RENAISSANCE IN HIS WORK
SURROUNDING POVERTY REMINDED ME
OF TO POCKET IN MY OWN
EXPERIENCE.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU TAUGHT ME
THAT RESILIENCE WAS NECESSARY TO
MOVE THROUGH ANY ADVERSITY IN
LIFE.
SUPPOSE SHE REALLY HELPED ME
THAT'S HAPPENED SEMI AUTHENTIC
VOICE WHICH EMPOWERED ME TO BE
AN AGENT FOR SOCIAL CHANGE IN MY
LOCAL AND GLOBAL COMMUNITY.
I WOULD LIKE TO DEDICATE THIS
POEM TO THE STUDENTS THAT I NOW
TEACH AND SEMI ANGELOU WHOSE
BIRTHDAY IS TODAY.
HARD TO FIND PEACE WHEN CALAMITY
COLORS THE BLOCK.
PARTS TO DRAW PIECE WOULD BODIES
OUTLINED IN CHALK MY FOOD WAS
FULL OF DEAD ENDS.
SEEN CEMETERIES FULL OF DEAD
FRIENDS WHO USED TO BE ROSES.
DREAMT OF RISING UP FROM
INGLEWOOD STRANGLED BY A THORNY
SYSTEM.
DID WE EVER STAND A CHANCE.
I REMEMBER STANDING ON THE
CORNER OF CRENSHAW AND SLAWSON.
TO WITHERING AWAY.
UPROOTED BY UNRULY CLASSROOMS.
OVERCROWDING FOUND ME LOST IN A
FACE OF SEIZE.
GAMBLED MY FUTURE ON MEDIOCRE
AVERAGES THE ARTS.
AGAINST ME.
FUNDING FINAL THROUGH POCKETS
THAT NEVER REACHED US.
HOW COULD THE TEACHERS ON SECOND
HAND SALARIES?
WE SAW INSTRUCTORS GET REPLACED
WITH THE SEASONS.
DOING SO A PERPETUAL FALL WE
FELL BEHIND.
IT'S EDUCATION.
A SLOW DECLINE.
AND THEY PROMISE NO CHILD WOULD
BE LEFT BEHIND BUT WHAT ABOUT
THE RAIN SO.
WHAT ABOUT DAIRY?
WHAT ABOUT ME?
MY MIND WAS A HUNGRY WOLF AMONG
SHEEP THE WAY SHE SOUGHT FOOD
SHE WASN'T GETTING.
HOW MANY FUTURES HAVE STARVED IN
THESE HALLS?
I WOULD HAVE BEEN SWALLOWED BY
FALL IF PUT WHICH SHE DIDN'T
SPRING NEEDS A LIFE.
I WAS ALWAYS RUNNING BY LUIS
RODRIGUEZ INSULATE PROVIDED ME A
PLACE TO REST.
A PLACE TO RISE.
I MODELED MYSELF AFTER THE
CLASSICS.
SAW DUNBAR TRANSFORM INTO A
SCHOLAR FROM A SLAVE SO I
RETIRED MY MASK IN CHAINS.
HEARD WALT WHITMAN'S BARBARIC
SHOP IN DECLARED I TOO AM NOT A
BIT TEAM.
POETRY GAVE MY UNTRANSLATABLE
THOUGHTS ELAINE.
MAMA MY EX TOLD ME WHY THE CAGED
BIRD SINGS.
SO MY NEW SHARING MY STORY WOULD
HELP ME GET FREE.
I'VE SEEN ROSE IS RISE FROM THE
CONCRETE BIKE POCK.
SO WHEN I SEE MY STUDENTS
STRUGGLING I CAN'T LET THEM
STOP.
IT'S BEEN NEARLY A DECADE SINCE
I GRADUATED HIGH SCHOOL. AND I
HEAR THE SAME STORY LIKE THE
RECORDS ON THE LOOP.
WHEN WILL WE DEMAND THAT ENOUGH
IS ENOUGH.
WHEN WILL OUR STUDENTS
EDUCATIONS IN FUTURES BE
UNCHANGED FROM THEIR CUPS.
SEEING CAGED BIRDS REFORM
RESIST.
RISE UP ROSES WE WILL PERSIST.
CLAIMING POEMS IN THE CRACKS OF
CONCRETE MENSA BREAK OUR BACKS.
LET'S PROVE EDUCATION IS THE
SHARPEST FORM.
OF ATTACK.
THANK YOU.
BUT IS VERY HARD ACT. PASSED.
WE DO HAVE A GRAMMY FOR SPOKEN
WORD BY THE WAY HOW. MY MONEY IS
BY GOING ON THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF THE RECORDING
ACADEMY SAN FRANCISCO CHAPTER.
WE ARE ONE OF TWO CHAPTERS THAT
OPERATE IN SAN FRANCISCO IN THE
CALIFORNIA REGION.
WHERE OUR ORGANIZATION IS BEST
KNOWN FOR THE GRAMMY AWARDS WE
PUT ON OUR WORK CHAU ONCE A YEAR
WHICH RECOGNIZES?
WHERE ARE WHERE MUSIC
PROFESSIONALS WHICH IS A LITTLE
KNOWN FACT THE GRAMMY AWARD IS
ACTUALLY? AWARDED BY PEERS OF
MUSIC PROFESSIONAL SONG WRITERS
PERFORMERS PRODUCERS ENGINEERS
COMPOSERS ALL OF THESE ARE THE
PEOPLE WHO VOTE ON THE GRAMMY
AWARDS THAT YOU GET TO WATCH ON
TV.
TO THAT AND OUR ORGANIZATION
ALSO SUPPORTS.
MUSIC AND THE ARTS AS AN
ECOSYSTEM AND AS AN INDELIBLE
PART OF OUR CULTURE AND THAT'S
ACTUALLY IN OUR MISSION
STATEMENT.
AND ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
THINGS ABOUT MUSIC AND ARTS
EDUCATION. IS THAT IT IS BEYOND
US JUST SOMETHING THAT IS FUN
FOR KIDS TO DO IT IS IT IS THE.
IT IS THE FOUNDATION OF WHO WE
ARE AS A PEOPLE AND AS A SOCIETY
AND ITS CITIZENS.
SO BEYOND THE ISSUE OF HOW IT'LL
BE NEAT IF I LEARNED HOW TO PLAY
PIANO OR IF MY SON IS GOING TO
BE ABLE TO PICK UP A
GLOCKENSPIEL AND PLAY QUARTER
NOTES IN TIME. WHAT'S MORE
IMPORTANT IS THAT. WHEN YOU
LEARN.
MUSIC OR WHEN YOU LEARN THE
ARTS.
YOU'VE LEARNED HOW TO THINK.
TO LEARN HOW TO COLLABORATE YOU
LEARN HOW TO WORK TOGETHER. YOU
LEARN HOW TO LISTEN AND YOU
LEARN HOW TO PLAY.
IN LEARN HOW TO DO SO MANY
THINGS BUT NOT ONLY SPARKED JOY
IN YOURSELF AND IN OTHERS.
BUT IT ALSO RADIATES OUT INTO
YOUR COMMUNITIES AND IT RADIATES
OUT INTO YOUR CITIES AND INTO
YOUR STATE AND INTO YOUR NATION
IN THE WORLD. MUSIC DOESN'T JUST
STOP AT THE END OF YOUR STREET
DOESN'T STOP WHEN IT GETS INTO
SCHOOL IT LIVES IN YOUR HEARTS
IT LASTS A LONG TIME.
SO WHAT WE CAN DO.
AS A STATE.
WHICH IS PROBABLY ONE OF THE
BEST KNOWN STATES FOR PRODUCING.
GREAT PART IN IN FACT I WOULD
SAY WE ARE THE GREATEST STATE IN
THE GREATEST NATION THAT
PRODUCES. GREAT ARTWORK.
THAT FOR OUR STUDENTS TO ONLY
HAVE THIRTY EIGHT PERCENT
ENROLLED IN ARTS PROGRAMS IN
ARTS EDUCATION IS A GIGANTIC
MESS.
IT IS A GIGANTIC MISSED
OPPORTUNITY. THAT YOU ALL.
AND THEN THIS BODY HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY.
TO FIX
AND TO MAKE BETTER. AND IT'S
REALLY INCUMBENT UPON ALL OF US.
CITIZENS.
LEADERS BUT WAS IN OUR COMMUNITY
TO SERVE OUR KIDS THIS TYPE OF.
WORK WITH VERY CAN VENUES TO
BRING TO WHATEVER PROFESSION
THEY CHOOSE.
BECAUSE THE THE SKILLS THAT COME
WITH CREATING AND LEARNING ABOUT
ART. OUR CREATIVITY.
AND THEIR WAYS OF SOLVING THINGS
THAT WE NEED PEOPLE TO BE ABLE
TO HARNESS THAT TYPE OF THINKING
THAT GOES BEYOND JUST TURNING
SOMEONE INTO A PROFESSIONAL
MUSICIAN.
OR PROFESSIONAL FILMMAKER ARE
PROFESSIONAL PAINTER. NOW THOSE
IN ADDITION TO THAT THERE ARE
JOBS THAT ARE DIRECTLY AFFECTED
BY THIS AND AND MY OUR
ORGANIZATION SERVES THOSE
PROFESSIONALS AND THOSE ARE
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT JUST.
BRIANNA OR AEROSMITH THIRTY
FORTY THOSE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE.
WORKING BEHIND THE SCENES IN
STUDIOS THEIR STUDENTS STRAIGHT
OUT OF SCHOOL OR WORKING FIFTEEN
DOLLARS AN HOUR. I'M GONNA BE
RECORDING IN A RECORDING SESSION
IS TO PRODUCE ALBUMS NOW HAVE A
FIFTEEN DOLLAR AN HOUR STUDENT
WHO'S GOING TO BE AN INTERN ON
THE SESSION WILL STAY UP WITH ME
UNTIL TWELVE THIRTY TONIGHT.
BUT THESE ARE STE THESE ARE JOBS
THAT LEAD TO FUTURE CAREERS ANY
LEAD OTHER COURAGE SO. I JUST
URGE YOU TO CONSIDER THIS
PASSAGE IN AND THANK YOU ALL FOR
YOUR CONSIDERATION THANKS
SENATOR ALLEN FOR BRINGING THIS
BILL.
I NAMES KAMALA LANDAU I MA
TWENTY SIXTEEN GRAMMY NOMINEE
AND.
PART OF. THE CREDIT GOES TO ARTS
EDUCATION IN CALIFORNIA I WENT
TO THE SCHOOL OF THE ARTS IN SAN
FRANCISCO THEM I AM THE
FORTUNATE RECIPIENT OF A GREAT
ARTS EDUCATION HERE IN IN
CALIFORNIA AND. IT'S SO
IMPORTANT NOT JUST FOR THOSE
LIKE ME WHO CAN GO ONTO FOR A
PROFESSIONAL CAREER IN THE ARTS.
BUT. IT HELPS IN SO MANY OTHER
THINGS.
I'M SURE YOU'VE SEEN NOTED IN
THE BILL.
COLLABORATION GET CREATIVITY AND
SO MANY OF THE SKILLS THE LIFE
SKILLS THAT STUDENTS TODAY NEED
AND OF COURSE. ARM.
ARTS EDUCATION.
IT IS NOT JUST ABOUT ARTS
EDUCATION BUT IT HELPS WITH ALL
THE OTHER ACADEMIC ASPECTS OF
EDUCATION THE STUDENT YOU KNOW
THERE'S A TON OF STUDIES THESE
CAN SEE SOME OF THE MOST.
CITED IN THIS BILL.
OF THAT SHOW THAT STUDENTS WHO
DO ARE AND TO DO MUSIC DO BETTER
AT MATH BETTER AT SCIENCE
ETCETERA ETCETERA AND.
.
THE ONE GREAT THING ABOUT THIS
BILL TWO IS THAT AS HOWIT
ADDRESSES THE UNDERPRIVILEGED
COMMUNITIES AYE I WAS ABLE TO
TEACH A CLASS OF.
RECENTLY AT THE SMART. HIGH
SCHOOL IN OAKLAND WHICH IS A
VERY UNDERPRIVILEGED COMMUNITY
SCHOOL OF PUBLIC AYE SCHOOL. AND
THEY DO HAVE A MUSIC PROGRAM
THERE WITH ONE MUSIC TEACHER FOR
THE WHOLE SCHOOL AND THEY HAVE
THEIR.
A BAND ROOM WITH INSTRUMENTS
BAND INSTRUMENTS TRUMPETS
TROMBONES SAXOPHONES CLARINETS
ETCETERA.
BUT NONE OF THIS NONE OF THOSE
BILLS THE. INSTRUMENTS ALL ALL
REMAINED COMPLETELY UNUSED ON
THE SHELF BECAUSE THE MIDDLE
SCHOOLS THAT FEED. THAT HIGH
SCHOOL DON'T HAVE ANY MUSIC
EDUCATION PROGRAMS WHATSOEVER NO
MUSIC PROGRAMS SO.
IT'S IT'S REALLY WHEN I SEE THAT
AS I JUST.
AND HEART BROKEN AT THE
OPPORTUNITY THESE KIDS DON'T
HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY AND.
IN IT YOU'LL SEE THAT.
.
STUDENTS WHO DO STUDY MUSIC.
ARE ARE FIVE TO I THINK IT WAS
FIVE TIMES MORE LIKELY TO
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. THE
ENGAGEMENT IS IT IS A
COMPLETELY.
.
TRANSFORMED AND IT GIVES THEM
REALLY A REASON TO CONTINUE
STUDYING AND HELPS THEM IN THEIR
IN THE REST OF THEIR STUDY SO
IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT THOSE LIKE
ME WHO CAN CONTINUE TO A
PROFESSIONAL ARTS IT ARTS
CAREER.
BUT IT'S HELPFUL AND SO MANY
OTHER WAYS AND SOMETHING WE NEED
VERY STRONGLY IN THE STATE.
IF YOU
PROCUREMENT.
QUESTION IF WE DIDN'T HAVE THE.
JOE LANDED EXECUTIVE TOOK UP
SORRY.
OTHERS.
OR YEAH.

FOR THE BILL I MEAN FOR THE
GRANT GOING TO BE THAT THEY

PLAN BECAUSE I MEAN THIS IS
ESSENTIALLY A. ONE TIME.
POT OF MONEY RIGHT SO HOPEFULLY
IT'S USING.
SOMETHING TO KICK START
SOMETHING BUT YOU WANT TO KNOW
THAT STAINED THAT'S NOT JUST
GOING TO BE A ONE YEAR ARE.
MAYBE YOU SPLIT THE MONEY OVER
TWO YEARS TWO YEAR PROGRAM AND
THEN IT STARTS AND STOPS OR ITS
SUPPLANTED BY. HIS OTHERWISE
WE'RE NOT PUSHING ANY NEW
PROGRAM SO IS THERE SOME THOUGHT
ABOUT.
BY REQUIRING SOME YELL
COMMITMENT SUSTAINABILITY
COMMITMENT BEYOND APPEARED AT
THE GRANT.
YOU KNOW THEY CAN DO THROUGH
THEIR LCF EFFORTS SOME OTHER
MECHANISM.
BEYOND THE TIME PERIOD OF WHAT
WILL PROBABLY BE A FAIRLY LIVE
VERY LIMITED TIME BRANDS AT
LEAST AT THIS POINT MUST BE
GRATEFUL TO GET. MORE MONEY OF
SUBSEQUENT YEARS OUT THEN YOU
WILL GET MORE SCHOOLS HOPEFULLY.
SO THAT WE SPECIFICALLY HIGHWAY.
.
SUPPORT FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS
FROM FOR ONE OF THIS PROGRAM
THAT ARTICULATED PLAN FOR THE
SISTINE PROVISION OF VISUAL AND
PERFORMING ARTS EDUCATION.
BUT WITH WITHOUT YOU EXACTLY THE
CRITERIA FOR GETTING HIS*.
THAT YOU'RE OUT SEE RIGHT BOOT
DID THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT
WOULD ULTIMATELY THIS IS ABOUT.
I'D.
ABOUT CREATING MODELS THAT WILL
BOTH BE SUSTAINABLE WITHIN THE
CONTEXT OF THESE LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BUT THEN. WERE REALLY
LOOKING TO HELP SCALE.
MODELS THAT AND THEY COULDN'T
THEY CAN BE EFFECTIVE ACROSS THE
BOARD.
THE NOT THE DEBTS APPRECIATE
THAT HIM BECAUSE I THINK WE WANT
TO HAVE SUSTAINABLE CHANGE NOT
JUST ONE TIME ITSELF.
THEY WELL THAT. WOULD THAT'D BE
HAPPY WITH THE BILL IT'S PRETTY
TIGHT.
IT BILL'S BEEN MOVED ANY OTHER.
COMMENTS QUESTIONS SAYING NINE
SENATOR IF YOU LIKE TO CLOSE.
APPRECIATE THAT THE TETHER ONE
FULL TESTIMONIUM PARTICULAR THEY
ARE OUR FUTURE GRAMMY AWARD
WINNER HERE SPOKEN WORD. AND.
INTERCEPT YES I'VE.
CALL THE ROLL ITEM ONE S. B.
NINE THIRTY THREE THE MOTION IS
TO PASS AS AMENDED TO
APPROPRIATIONS ALLEN AYE ALLEN
AYE WILK. AYE WILK AYE GALGIANI.
LEYVA. LEYVA AYE PAN CAN AYE
BIDAK.
BY THAT I.
I CAN.
BUT ONE DURING.
YEAH.
SORRY.
BY LEVEL YEAH THIS IS THIS BILLS
ON CALL. WE WERE SENATOR MISSING
SO I'VE READ THAT.
PAGE I MAYES AND NOT ON TOP AND.
ON.
OKAY.
SO MEMBERS THIS IS A.
.
THIS IS A BILL THAT AND HOW THAT
SHE SPEAK WITH WITH SOME OF YOU
ABOUT AND.
YOU'RE ONE OF THINGS WE'VE BEEN
TRYING TO LOOK AT THIS YOU KNOW.
THE LAST COUPLE YEARS IS IS SAN.
IN THIS CONSTANT TENSION THAT WE
KNOW EXISTS ON THIS COMMITTEE.
BETWEEN VARIOUS SIDES OF THE.
THE BAY.
WITH REGARDS TO. IN EDUCATION
REFORM AND I'M CERTAINLY SOME OF
THE THEMES THAT WERE BROUGHT UP
EARLIER TODAY.
NO HAVE SOME RELATION TO THIS.
I MEAN.
IT WE'VE WE'VE SEEN FOLKS COME
FORWARD WITH VARYING PROPOSALS
ASSOCIATED WITH APPLYING. THE
SAME RULES TO CHARTER SCHOOLS
AND DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
WE'VE SEEN FAILED ATTEMPTS TO
JUST POINTEDLY APPLY ALL THE
SAME RULES.
INCLUDING THE CONFLICT OF
INTEREST STATUTE BITS ESPOUSED
IN.
IT HOUSED IN GOVERNMENT CUT TEN
NINETY.
ARE WE ALSO HAD THOSE A FAILED
WE'VE SEEN ATTEMPTS TO COME UP
WITH A DIFFERENT ROUTE MAYBE
APPLY THE COLLEGE OF INTEREST
STATUTE IN THE CORPORATION'S
CODE.
TO THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ON THAT
ATTEMPT HAS FAILED.
SO WHEN I'M TRYING TO DO HERE IS
ULTIMATELY.
YOU KNOW TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT THE
COURT CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN ON
THE CHARTER SIDE WITH RELATION
TO GOVERNMENT CUT TEN NINETY.
FIGURE OUT A WAY TO COME UP WITH
A SERIES OF CHANGES TO TEN
NINETY THAT WE THAT WILL WORK
WELL FOR BOTH CHARTER SCHOOLS.
AND SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARDS.
AND THEN.
MAKE THOSE CHANGES APPLY THE
CHANGES ACROSS THE BOARD.
AND. THEN THIS PARTICULAR ASPECT
OF THE ON ONGOING BATTLE.
AND I I SEE THIS IS AS ON MY YOU
KNOW AS A SORT OF A PUBLIC
SERVICES IF THE BOARD CHAIR AS
IF THE KIDS THE COMMITTEE CHAIR.
ON TO TRY TO SEE IF WE CAN PUT
SOME OF THAT THESE PARTICULAR
BATTLES BEHIND US.
AND MOVE ON TO OTHERS. AND SO.
.
ULTIMATELY.
THE GOVERNOR COULD TEN NINETY
IS THE STATE'S CENTRAL CONFLICT
OF INTEREST ACT IT INSURERS THE
PUBLIC OFFICIALS DON'T HAVE A
FINANCIAL INTEREST. IN CONTRACTS
MADE IN THEIR OFFICIAL CAPACITY.
SO THIS BILL SEEKS TO ADDRESS
CONCERNS ON VARIOUS SIDES
PRIMARILY ADDRESSING CONCERNS
FROM THE CHARTER SCHOOL
ADVOCATES. RELATING TO LOANS
LINES OF CREDIT AND LEASES FROM
BOARD MEMBERS WHILE PROTECTING
THE SYSTEM FOR PROFITEERING.
IT ALSO ADDRESSES FAR REACHING
CONCERNS BY BOARD MEMBERS FROM
ALL LEVELS OF GOVERNMENT FROM
SCHOOL DISTRICT BOARDS.
CHARTER BOARDS AND AND AND
COUNTY AND STATE LEVEL RELATED
TO POTENTIALLY FACING CRIMINAL
PENALTIES. FOR PROVING CONTRACTS
THAT THEY WERE NOT KNOWINGLY AND
WILLFULLY INTERESTED IN WITHOUT
THE RIGHT TO CURE.
THERE'S A LOT OF GOOD STATUTE
ALREADY IN THE FRAUD.
.
STATUTES THAT WE PROTECT AGAINST
THAT SORT OF THING.
I AND MY INTENT IS TO RESOLVE
GOVERNMENT CUT TEN NINETY
CONCERNS FOR BOTH SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND CHARTER BOARD
MEMBERS. I VERY MUCH WELCOME
CONTINUED DIALOGUE FROM BOTH
SIDES AND I HOPE THAT WE CAN
REACH AGREEMENT.
ON THE BILL THAT ENSURES
TRANSPARENCY BUT CREATES
WORKABLE EXCEPTIONS FOR BOTH.
I SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN CHARTERS
AND WE WE WE HAVE WITH US TODAY
A REAL. TALENT IN GREG MOSER
HE'S AN ATTORNEY WITH EXTENSIVE
KNOWLEDGE OF GOVERNMENT CUT TEN
NINETY HIS REPRESENTED CLIENTS
BOTH. I'VE I'VE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND CHARTERS
SO HE'S GOT A A REALLY.
STRONG NUANCED PERSPECTIVE ON
BOTH THE CHALLENGES
OPPORTUNITIES IN IMPORTANCE OF
GOVERNMENT CUT TEN NINETY AND
ALSO THE PARTICULAR CONCERNS
THAT EXIST. BOTH FOR THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT SIDE AND THE CHARTER
SIDE AND I AM VERY GRATEFUL AND
APPRECIATIVE OF THE SUPPORT AND
HELP HE'S GIVEN US SO FAR. IN
THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE SPELL AND
AND.
WELCOME HIS TESTIMONY TODAY.
SO I'M GONNA GREG MOSER WITH THE
LAW FIRM OF PROKOP YELLOW I'VE
BEEN ADVISING LOCAL AGENCIES FOR
ABOUT THIRTY FIVE YEARS AND PART
OF THAT HAS BEEN ADVISING ON.
GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION TEN
NINETY.
YOU SEE A LOT OF TWEAKS IN THE
BILL TO TEN NINETY BECAUSE IT IS
ONE OF THE MOST COMPLICATED
STATUTES.
IN THE CONFLICT AREA IS SO
COMPLICATED THAT.
THE FAIR POLITICAL PRACTICES
COMMISSION IF YOU CALL THEM
PROTECT ALGO ADVICE THAT GIVE
YOU TECHNICAL ADVICE ON THE
POLITICAL REFORM ACT THEY WILL
NOT GIVE YOU TECHNICAL ADVICE ON
TEN NINETY BECAUSE THEY
RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS. MORE
COMPLICATED THAN A PHONE CALL
CAN HANDLE.
SO I YOU KNOW IN IN THE IN THE
SITTING ON THIS BILL I KINDA HAD
TWO. GOALS ONE WAS TO MAKE IT
CLEARER AND TO PROVIDE SOE
RELIEF. UP BECAUSE THE PENALTIES
I YOU KNOW THE IF YOU LIVE
VIOLATE POLITICAL REFORM ACT
YOU'D LIKELY GET FINED.
IT AND IF YOU VIOLATE GOVERNMENT
CODE SECTION TEN NINETY YOU CAN
BE BARRED FROM HOLDING PUBLIC
OFFICE FOREVER. AND IT'S
CRIMINALLY PROSECUTED WILL AS
WELL SO THIS ANGST AND AND THE
ID THE DEAL THAT YOU. HURT
PARTICIPATED IN THIS COMPLETELY
UNWOUND SO THAT THE CONSEQUENCES
FOR VIOLATING TEN NINETY ARE
REALLY SEVERE. AND THERE'S IT'S
A VERY COMPLICATED STATUTE.
AND SO YOU WE WE HAVE HERE AN
ATTEMPT TO NOT ONLY.
UNPACK SOME OF THE ISSUES IN TEN
NINETY THAT HAVE BEEN FESTERING
FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME BUT
ALSO TO DEAL WITH THE SPECIAL
CHALLENGES OF CHARTER SCHOOLS.
ARE I'VE BEEN WORKING THE
CHARTER SCHOOL SINCE NINETEEN
NINETY FIVE SOME I'M WELL AWARE
OF HOW THOSE.
KINDA COME INTO PLACE SO THAT
THE FOCUS ON THAT ON THE CHARTER
SCHOOL ELEMENTS OF THIS BILL. IS
REALLY TING ON THE FINANCING
SIDE TO. GIVE CHARTER SCHOOLS AN
OPTION
THAT WHERE THEY DON'T HAVE TO
SELL THEIR RECEIVABLES WHEN THEY
RUN SHORT OF FUNDS WHERE THEY
CAN GO TO A NORMAL LENDER. NAM
AND THEN ON THE REAL ESTATE SIDE
AND THEY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO
THE SAME A REAL ESTATE RESOURCES
AT SCHOOL DISTRICTS DO THEY
CAN'T CONDEMN THEY DON'T GET.
MUCH STATE BOND MONEY THERE'S
NO S. S. B. SEVEN FORTY IS
FAIRLY LIMITED SO THEY NEED TO
BE ABLE TO HAVE A LITTLE MORE
FLEXIBILITY. SO THAT'S THAT'S
REALLY.
WITH THIS IS DESIGNED TO DO AS
DRAFTED I I'VE HEARD SINCE THIS
BILL CAME OUT AND PRINT FROM A
NUMBER OF MY COLLEAGUES. WHO
HAVE?
YOU KNOW ISSUES THAT NEED TO
STILL BE ADDRESSED SO I'D I
REGARD THIS IS A LITTLE BIT OF A
WORK IN PROGRESS.
BUT BUT THAT'S.
THE ANSWER REASON IF YOU IF YOU
LOOK AT THIS BILL COMPARED TO
ANY OF THE OTHER BILLS THAT HAVE
BEEN PUT FORWARD ON TEN NINETY
OVER THE LAST TEN YEARS YOU'LL
SEE THIS ONE IS MUCH MORE
COMPLICATED. MUCH MORE
THOROUGHAND I THINK A GREAT
FIRST STEP
TOWARDS.
RESOLVING BOTH THE CLARITY OF
TEN NINETY AND THE NEEDS OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS.
YEAH.
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS THAT
BROWN BUT ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
WE DO NOT HAVE A POSITION. ON
THIS PHONE BILL.
BUT.
WE HAVE HAD A BILL ON THIS
TOPIC FOR THE LAST
ON TO YEARS. ON AND NO ONE ON
THEIR CONVERSATIONS THAT WE'VE
HAD WITH THE SENATOR NOW FOR
MORE THAN A YEAR.
THE SENATOR EXPRESSED TO US
LAST YEAR DESIRE TO LOOK AT
GOVERNMENT CO TEN NINETY.
TO TAKE A LOOK AT YOU KNOW WHAT
POSSIBLE CHANGES MIGHT OCCUR
THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT PIECE
A LAW THAT PREVENTS SELF
DEALING.
WITH RESPECT A PUBLIC FUNDS AND
ON THE GUIDE RAILS WE KIND OF
HAD FOR OUR CONVERSATION WITH
THE SENATOR WAS PLEASE DO NOT.
OPEN THE FLOODGATES TO ABUSE AND
ENSURE THAT ON THE LAW APPLIES
THE SAME TO CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT
IT DOES AND TRADITIONAL PUBLIC
SCHOOL SO I DO WANT TO THANK THE
SENATOR FOR THIS ATTEMPT I DO
WANT TO ALSO EXPRESS.
A SEVERAL SPECIFIC CONCERNS WITH
THE BILL.
MOVING FORWARD BUT THERE IS A
AUTHORITY IN THE BILL FOR
CHARTER SCHOOL TO BE OPERATED BY
A LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND
I NOTE FOR EXAMPLE IN THE.
.
IN THE ANALYSIS THAT THERE'S
SOME CONVERSATION ABOUT THE FACT
THAT THE CHARTER INDUSTRY HAS
HISTORICALLY SAID THE CONFLICT
OF INTEREST PROVISIONS OF THE
CORPORATION'S CODE. ARE
SUFFICIENT WELL THAT THOSE
PROVISIONS WOULDN'T APPLY TO
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY AND I
DON'T KNOW WHAT OTHER.
PROVISIONS WOULDN'T APPLY TO
LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY THAT
WHEN THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT WAS
WRITTEN THERE WAS NO.
CONTEMPLATION THAT ELSIE WOULD
RUN A CHARTER SCHOOL.
WE'D LIKE TO SEE THAT THAT
LANGUAGE WAS REMOVED FROM THE
BILL.
ADDITIONALLY THERE ARE SOME
PROVISIONS I THINK THAT STILL
PERMIT PROFIT AT WITH RESPECT TO
ALONE.
THERE'S DISCUSSION OF MARKET
VALUE ANY CONVERSATION A MARKET
VALUE IS GOING TO BE KIND OF
DEFINING HOW
THE PROFIT CAN BE MADE WE'D LIKE
TO SEE A ZERO PERCENT.
LOAN PERHAPS WITH RESPECT TO
LEASE YOU CAN TAKE PROFIT OF THE
CONVERSATION AS WELL LEASE
PUBLICLY THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
SHOULD BE ABOUT KIDS NOT PROFITS
OF THREE FOR EXAMPLE MOVE TO A
DOLLAR LEASE.
YEAR SOMETHING LIKE THAT THAT
WOULD ELIMINATE PROFIT FROM THE
CONVERSATION REGARDLESS WE'RE
STILL CONCERNED AND THE EVENT
pMEMBER OR TOWARD SCHOOL
GOVERNING BOARD MEMBER WHO OWNS
A PIECE OF PROPERTY. THAT THE
SCHOOL IS RUNNING ON OR WHO IS
FLOATING ORGANIZATION WITH FUNDS
DOES THAT UPSET THE BALANCE OF
POWER WITH RESPECT TO. A
DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE OF.
THAT SCHOOL SO THAT SAID WE
HAVE CONCERNS MOVING FORWARD.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE SENATOR ON THOSE CONCERNS
MOVING FORWARD AND THANK YOU FOR
YOUR TIME.
A PARENT PREMARKET THE CHARTER
SCHOOLS DEVELOPMENT CENTER.
HAVE THE UNENVIABLE. POSITION
OF OPPOSING THE CHAIRS WELL
INTENDED BILL HERE.
WEEKS HAVE A LOT OF CONCERNS
WITH THE BILL WE REPRESENT A LOT
OF SMALLER CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT
DON'T HAVE.
ACCESS TO THIS KIND OF
SOPHISTICATED LEGAL COUNSEL ON I
THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT.
GREG TO MY KNOWLEDGE IS THE ONE
ATTORNEY IN THE STATE WHO
ACTUALLY CLAIMS TO UNDERSTAND
SECTION TEN NINETY AND THE
RELATED LAWS.
THEY'RE SUPER COMPLICATED THERE
A MINEFIELD.
IF WE'RE GONNA POKE IMPOSE FEES
ON CHARTER SCHOOLS WE THINK THEY
NEED. NOT ONLY THE TYPE A CLEAN
UP TO HE STARTED HERE AND THERE
ARE SOME HELPFUL CHANGES HERE
INCLUDING INSERTING A WILLFUL
AND KNOWING STANDARD FOR
PROSECUTION. THEIR NUMBER OF
OTHER AREAS OF SECTION TEN
NINETY THAT REMAIN INCREDIBLY
COMPLEX.
WHERE KEY CONCEPTS LIKE WHAT IS
A FINANCIAL INTEREST WHAT'S A
REMOTE INTEREST? ARE NOT DEFINED
IN THE STATUTE AND YOU HAVE TO
GO THROUGH A VERY COMPLICATED
CASE LAW. TO UNDERSTAND HOW TO
APPLY AT AND IT'S JUST A
NIGHTMARE.
FOR ALL AGENCIES TO DEAL WITH
AND HAMSTRINGS A LOT OF FOLKS
AND WE THINK THIS IS A LAW THAT
BEFORE. EXPANDING ITS
APPLICATION THAT NEEDS TO BE
CLEANED UP AND CLARIFIED IN A
REALLY BIG WAY SO FOR THOSE IN A
LOT OF OTHER REASONS WE OPPOSE
IT THANK YOU. BEFORE WE GO
FORWARD. DAR TYPICAL FORMAT IS
SPEAKING IN SUPPORT THEN OPPOSE
SO RIGHT NOW LET'S GO BACK TO
THOSE YEARS AGO HE IN SUPPORT.
HOW MUCH WIENER OF OKAY YOU CAN
DO THAT THEN YOU CAN GO NEXT?
UP AT THE GIVE MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND MEMBERS AJAI SURPRISE SUIT
WITH THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION. AND FIRST
OFF I WOULD JUST SAY THAT WE
DON'T HAVE A FORMAL POSITION.
AND WE'VE ALWAYS CONTACTED
AUTHOR BEFORE WE COME TO
TESTIFIED THESE ISSUES QUICK AND
GIVEN THE LATENESS OF THE.
CHANGES IN THE BILL WE'RE STILL
EXPLORING YET AND WE ALWAYS HAVE
HAD A VERY RESPONSIVE AUTHORED
TWO AND ALWAYS WORKED WITH HIM.
ON THESE ISSUES I WANT TO PUT
THAT UP FRONT FOR THOSE.
WHICH DIED WE WOULD JUST SAY
THAT YOU KNOW I WAS HERE WHEN
THE CHARTER SCHOOL MOVEMENT WAS
STARTED.
IT WAS INTENDED TO BE. A PROGRAM
TO LOOK AT LABORATORIES OF
INNOVATIONS AND WE HAD A CAP OF
ABOUT A HUNDRED SCHOOLS.
BUT NOW THAT GOD BUT BOTH
WANTED THOUSAND SCHOOLS.
AND YOU KNOW YOU MAY HAVE SEEN
THE RECENT REPORT THAT JUST CAME
OUT LAST MONTH BY THE PP I SEE.
THAT TALKS ABOUT BOB.
I MEAN THE PUBLIC INTEREST AND
SCIENTIFIC GROUP ADDED TALKS
ABOUT OF A CATALOG OF ONE
HUNDRED. FORTY NINE MILLION
DOLLARS IT JUST CLEAR ABUSE IT
CLEAR CASE OF VIOLATION OF LUCK
BECAUSE OF. LACK OF
ACCOUNTABILITY THAT'S AVAILABLE
ONLINE AT THIS POINT. AND SO IT
DOES UP RAISE A LOT OF CONCERNS
FOR US AS WE LOOK AT THE CHANGES
THAT ATTITUDE IS BILL. BOMB IT
MIGHT FOR AFOREMENTIONED LLC
ISSUE A WE OPENING UP A NEW DOOR
OUGHT TO DOT DOT DOT AREA.
ALLOWING BOARD MEMBERS TO ARM
YOU KNOW GIVE LOANS LIKE FIFTY
PERCENT OF FAIR MARKET RATE.
THAT REALLY SEEMS TO OPEN THE
DOOR THERE SEEMS TO BE NO CAP
WHEN YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT. ARM
ALLOWING.
OF WHAT MEMBERS TO LEASE
PROPERTY STYLE. ARM.
AND THEN IT DOES ELIMINATE THE
PENALTY SECTION INCLUDING THE
REMOVAL FROM OFFICE. IF THERE'S
A CLEAR CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
TEN NINETY HAS BEEN COVETING TO
STATE.
ARM
FOR AS LONG AS I CAN REMEMBER AT
THIS POINT YOU ALL HAVE TO
COMPLY WITH IT. AND NOW WE'RE
DOING A SPECIAL EXCEPTION FOR A
THIS PARTICULAR GROUP OF SCHOOLS
AT ITS BASE RAISE A LOT OF
CONCERN ON OUR PART. WHICH STILL
REVEALING AND I'LL LEGAL TEAMS
GOING THROUGH THIS. ARM BUT I
JUST WANNA BE INFORMAL I LEASE
FORMALLY A LODGING THESE
CONCERNS AND. WE'VE ALWAYS
WORKED WELL WITH THE OFF AND WE
WANT TO SIT DOWN WITH HIM AND
APT OPPORTUNITY BUT. THESE ARE
SERIOUS CONCERNS THAT WE WE
WOULD ON A RACE NOW THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
NOW TAKING TESTIMONY FROM THOSE
IN OPPOSITION.
NOT IN FULL OPPOSITION WE HAVE
SOME CONCERNS WE'VE MET WITH
THE.
TIME SENATORS OFFICE AND WE
APPRECIATE I'M STARTIN
CONVERSATION RESPECT THE WORK
THAT MR MOSER'S DONE.
BUT BRIEFLY.
FROM. ON BEHALF OF LEARN FOR
LIFE PROJECT JONES MAY HAVE
LEARNED FOR LIFE IN THE FORTY
THOUSAND PLUS KIDS WE SERVE IN
THE STATE.
ONE OF THE CONCERNS WE HAVE IS
THE. CONSISTENT EFFORT TO TREAT
CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS
LIKE THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
AND THAT'S WHAT GOVERNMENT
COLTON NINETY IS THERE FOR. AND
THAT'S WHY YOU HAVE A PROVISION
IN THERE WE REMOVED FROM OFFICE
THESE FOLKS HAVEN'T BEEN
ELECTED.
THEY THEY HAVE A. THEY HAVE
ELECTED BODY OR AN APPOINTED
pBODY THAT ACTUALLY OVERSEAS HIM
WHICH THEY PAY OVERSIGHT FEES
TO.
SO. ONE WORK WITH THE SENATOR'S
OFFICE OF THE BILL MOVES
FORWARD.
BUT I WANT TO BE. VERY CAREFUL
THAT WE'RE NOT TREATING
VOLUNTARY BOARD MEMBERS LIKE
THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS I THINK
THAT'S VERY PROBLEMATIC
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU SIR.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS THING NOT
OPEN UP TO QUESTIONS FROM THE
COMMITTEE.
SENATOR LEYVA.
THANK YOU MR VICE CHAIR BY I'M
GONNA VOTE YES ON THE BILL TODAY
BECAUSE I WANNA KEEP THE
CONVERSATION GOING I THINK WHAT
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IS
INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT. AYE IN
KIDDING CONTINUE TO HAVE COME.
SCHOOLS BEING TO.
ONLY THEN ARE PUBLIC SCHOOLS SO
IF WE CAN GET TO A POINT WHERE
THEY'RE TREATED EQUALLY AND ONE
IS IT REQUIRED TO DO.
I THINK OF BE GREAT AND I'M
HAPPY TO BE PART OF THE
CONVERSATION IF IT WOULD BE
HELPFUL. WITHOUT I'M OF THE BILL
ONCE APPROPRIATE.
DOCTOR PAN.
NO THANK YOU AND US SARAH THANK
YOU WAS SUCH CHAIR OF OUR
COMMITTEE TO IN TERMS OF
TACKLING THIS.
.
DIFFICULT ISSUE.
I THINK.
.
WHEN THINGS WE NEED TO RECOGNIZE
APPRECIATE YOU TAKE TRY TAKE THE
SUN IS IS THAT.
WITHOUT YOUR EFFORTS WE WERE.
WHERE WE'RE CURRENTLY AT IS NOT
REALLY A GREAT PLACE EITHER SO?
SO I'VE AND TO APPRECIATE ME
AND WE NEED TO HEAR ALL THE
CONCERNS OF ALL THE DIFFERENT
STAKEHOLDERS AND FIGURE OUT HOW
WE CAN PULL THAT TOGETHER BUT.
HOPE APPRECIATE YOUR TRYING TO
MOVE THE BALL FORWARD BECAUSE I
THINK WHERE WE'RE AT RIGHT NOW
IS NOT NECESSARILY.
THE BEST PLACE TO BE AS WELL
AND.
THERE'S A LOT OF GAPS RIGHT NOW
IN TERMS OF ENSURING A.
THAT THERE'S ACCOUNTABILITY.
IN.
ITAND THE SYSTEM SELF THINK
YOU'VE ANDA CERTAINLY HAPPY TO
SUPPORT YOUR BILL.
BONO MISTER BUT I CENTER BY
ACTING OF A COMMENT PLEASE
QUESTION.
OKAY.
.
THIS IS A VERY VERY BIG.
LIFTED YOU'RE DOING HERE FOR
BOTH SIDES AND I HAVEN'T HEARD
BOTH SIDES EVEN KNOW EXACTLY
WHERE WE'RE GOING TO GO. TO ON
THIS IS THAT. YOU KNOW WE'VE GOT
A FEW MORE.
COMMITTEES I'M SURE HAPPENING
AND I JUST AND HONESTLY DON'T
KNOW. NO MISTER BRAMBLE BOOKS
HERE I DON'T KNOW THAT ANYBODY
KNOWS WHERE THIS IS GOING AND SO
I'M NOT A HARD TIME. SUPPORTING
IT BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW.
WHAT? WE'RE GOING TO DO IS IT'S
GOING TO COME BACK DO WE GET TO
SEE THIS AGAIN.
.
THERE I MEAN I I LOOK THIS IS
THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND I I
GUESS I DON'T KNOW WHAT THIS
BILL IS GOING TO DO YOU HAVE A
BASIC PARAMETERS I THINK ARE.
ARE.
CLEAR RIGHT WE WANT TO MAKE
SURE.
THAT WE APPLY TEN NINETY TO
EVERYBODY.
BOB BUT WE MAKE SOME CHANGES
THAT GET TO THE CORE OF THE
CONTINUAL CONCERNS OF THE
CHARTERS HAVE RAISED THAT OF
ALLOWED THEM TO GET CONTROL
VETOES AND GET.
YOU BLOCK THE BLOCK PREVIOUS
ATTEMPTS TO PLAY TONIGHT THEM.
YOU GET TO THE CORE OF THEIR
CONCERNS THE CORE CONCERN IT
SEEMS OVER AND OVER AND OVER
AGAIN HAS BEEN.
THE QUESTION OF.
OF ALLOWING A BOARD MEMBER.
TWO. I MAKE SOME SORT OF LONER
LEASE OR LINE OF CREDIT TO AN
INSTITUTE TO CHARTER.
YET THEY DON'T HAVE THE SAME
KIND OF FACILITIES ACCESS AND
FUNDING ACCESS THE TRADITIONAL
I'D SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS.
AND.
THE QUESTION IS HOW DO WE ALLOW
FOR THAT SORT OF THING WHILE
ALSO ABSOLUTE PROTECTING ITS
PROFITEERING.
AND THE LANGUAGE IS CURRENTLY IN
THE BILL SAYS THAT BE YOU THE
ANY KIND OF A LONER OR LINE OF
CREDIT CANNOT BE AND IT DIDN'T
GIVE ME NO MORE THAN HALF OF
FAIR MARKET RATE. IRISH IN SOME
CONCERNS BOOKS YOU KNOW ONE HOW
BOUT THAT CENTER TO BE LOWER. ON
OUTSIDE OPEN THAT CONVERSATION I
THINK IT'S BEEN VERY YOU COME A
NON NEGOTIABLE TO ME THAT THAT
AND I THINK EVERYONE INVOLVED.
NOBODY WANTS TO SEE BOARD
MEMBERS PROFITEERING OFF OF
PUBLIC FUNDS AND SO THAT'S GONNA
BE
CRITICAL.
OF WHATEVER
A SOLUTION
IT'S HERE
BUT EFFECTIVELY WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO. IS.
RESOLVE THIS ISSUE AND OWNS THIS
IS JUST AN ENORMOUS STICKING
POINT THAT HAS TAKEN UP A LOT OF
TIME OF THIS COMMITTEE AND OTHER
COMMITTEES. AND I SENSE THAT
THERE IS A NEEDLE THAT CAN BE
THREADED HERE.
BECAUSE THE CORE VALUES THAT
I'VE HEARD FROM FOLKS ON THE
CHARTER SIDE AND FOLKS.
ON.
THE LABOR SIDE AND SOME OF THE
CHARTER SKEPTICS.
I I'VE I'VE I THINK THE TWO
POSITIONS ARE ULTIMATELY NOT
IRRECONCILABLE.
BUT THERE'S NO QUESTION THAT
IT'S NOT GONNA BE EASY I THINK
BOTH SIDES ALSO POWERFUL IN THIS
LEGISLATURE. AND DONE IN ANY
EVENTUAL SOLUTION THAT WERE ABLE
TO PASS A LAW.
WILL BE BOTH FAIR AND.
ULTIMATELY.
I AM IF NOT SUPPORTED AT LEAST
NOT. OPPOSED. BY BOTH SIDES. ARE
JUST GIVEN THE THE POLITICAL
DYNAMICS ALSO WHAT I'M TRYING TO
DO AND I'M REALLY NOT TRYING
THAT OF I'M TRYING TO. I'M
TRYING O. PUSH A SOLUTION THAT
WILL ACTUALLY AND HELP US AS
POLICYMAKERS ON THIS COMMITTEE.
BE ABLE TO MOVE ON TO SOME OF
THE SUBSTANCE OF OUR WORK AND
NOT KEEP BATTLING OVER AT THIS
AGE SO FASTENING ABOUT WHAT YOU
HEARD TODAY.
IF YOU GOT. ONE SIDE THAT SAYS
TEN NINETY IS ALWAYS APPLIED TO
CHARTERS AND THEN A GROUP OF
CHARTER FOLKS YOU'RE SAYING. YOU
KNOW NOT IT WE DON'T WANT TO DO
ANYTHING THAT WOULD SUGGEST THAT
TEN NINETY SHOULD APPLY
CHARTERS.
SO.
I IDEA TO TO TRY TO PARAPHRASE
CENTER BENDS ARGUMENT WE WE DO
KNOW THAT THE CURRENT STATUS QUO
IT'S JUST IT'S JUST IT'S NOT
GOOD POLICY IT'S NOT GOOD LAW
I'M REALLY COMING AT THIS FROM A
MIDDLE OF THE ROAD PERSPECTIVE
IT'S GONNA TRY TO MATCH.
THE CONCERNS ON BOTH SIDES I'M
ALSO AWARE THAT THE POWER
DYNAMICS HERE AND I THINK IF WE
DON'T MATCH BOTH SIDES CONCERNS
WILL BILL GET A DOCTOR.
AND
BUT MY CORE PRINCIPLE HERE AND
AND IT'S IT'S LAID OUT IN THE IN
THE MEAT OF THIS BILL EH I'M
CERTAINLY OPEN TO TO HAVING ALL
THESE CONVERSATIONS EVERYBODY IN
TWEAKING THINGS AND CHANGING
THINGS.
BUT THE CORE GOAL HERE IS TO
APPLY TEN NINETY ACROSS THE
BOARD BUT BUT MAKE THE CHANGES
NECESSARY TO ALLOW FOR EFFECTIVE
GOVERNANCE. THAT MEETS THE KINDS
OF CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN
RAISED IN THE PAST WHEN TEN
NINETY HAS BEEN BROUGHT UP BY
THE BY THE CHARTER FOLKS.
I THINK WE CAN GET THERE.
BUT THAT'S THE GOAL OF A OF MY
EFFORTS HERE.
NO YOU GOT AWESOME GOALS AND I
RESPECT YOUR YOUR FAIRNESS IN
EVERYTHING YOU DO HERE IN THIS
BUILDING FUTURE ALSO. I'M JUST
NOT SURE WHAT.
WHERE WHERE ARE WE JUST WISH WE
COULD ONLY HAD THREE MORE WEEKS
TO ACTUALLY WORK? SOME OF THIS
STUFF OUT OR TWO WEEKS OR SO I'D
NEW WORK ON WHERE WHERE WE WERE
GOING BECAUSE I I DON'T KNOW
WHAT'S WHAT'S GOING TO JUDICIARY
SO SO WE BASED IT GOING TO GO
THROUGH THE CONCORD.
THE COURT PROVISIONS OF THE
BILL.
MAYBE IT BASICALLY WHAT WE'RE
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING WHAT WHAT THE
BILL DOES.
.
IS IS THAT WHAT YOU'RE ASKING OR
DO YOU WANT TO JOIN YOU SORT OF
WONDERING WHERE THE NEGOTIATIONS
ARE GOING TO GO TO HELL I MEAN
THAT'S THAT'S PART OF THE DATA.
I YOU KNOW I I HAVE THAT BECAUSE
YOU'VE NO HOISIN MEMBERS DESPITE
A YOU'VE SEEN BILLS.
MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH AND RAN
DOWN.
OUT OUT WHEN I CAME OUT DAHLE DO
FOR YOU SENATOR IS FERTILE THIS
BILL IF IT PASSES OUT HERE WILL
GO TO JUDICIARY COMMITTEE WHICH
WILL HAVE A LOT OF OPINIONS.
WHEAT WE CERTAINLY KNOW THE
THAT THE STAFF THERE WELL IN AND
DONE.
THERE WILL BE A ROBUST DEBATE
THERE CERTAINLY.
WHEN I CAN ABSOLUTE COMMITTEE
YOU IS KEEPING YOU UNDER PERCENT
A PRIZE AND WELCOME YOU INTO THE
CONVERSATION.
TO THE EXTENT THAT YOU WANT TO
BE BOMBALA THIS AND COULD
ULTIMATELY I I REALLY DO BELIEVE
THIS IS GONNA TAKE A CONSENSUS
BUILDING.
I'M AND I.
AT E..
GIVE BECAUSE THERE'S IT JUST GOT
PASSED WITHOUT IT OUT BY JUST
GIVEN THE RIGHT THE REALITIES
HERE. AND SO I'M.
YOU KNOW I I CAN'T TELL YOU
EXACTLY WHAT.
WHAT WHAT WHERE WE WILL FALL ON
ALL ON THESE LITTLE STICKY
POINTS THAT WE'VE HEARD HERE?
BUT I BUT WHAT WILL COME TO YOU
IF IF WE'RE ABLE TO BE
SUCCESSFUL IT WILL BE BECAUSE
WE.
ABLE TO.
THREAD SEVERAL THESE NEEDLES I
DON'T ULTIMATELY THINK THAT THE
CORE PRINCIPLES THAT HAVE BEEN
EXPRESSED HERE TODAY IN THAT
HAVE EXPRESSED TO ME.
BY THE EDUCATION COALITION ON
THE DISTRICT SIDES USPA CTA CFD
AND THE CCS SAY BECAUSE WE'VE
BEEN TALKING TO EVERYBODY. I
DON'T THINK AT THE CORE VALUES
THAT EXPRESSED TO ME ARE
IRRECONCILABLE.
THANK YOU KNOW.
IMAGE IS GOING TO JUDICIARY IS
GOING BACK TO RULES FIRST I DO
YOU KNOW WHY THAT'S THE CASE.
WELL THAT WAS OKAY THAT'S IT SO
MUCH JUST OF.
I PRY TECHNICAL PROCESS OKAY
GOOD.
I GIVE YOU MY VOTE TODAY.
AND AGAIN I MEAN THIS A
COMPLICATED ISSUE I SALUTE YOU
FOR TAKING IT ON I HAVE A LOT OF
FAITH AND TRUST IN YOU AND AND.
I CONCUR WITH YOU THAT I DON'T
THINK THIS GETS OUT ON THE
SERIOUS CONSENSUS SO THANKING
HER FOR TAKING THAT ON. AND.
COMING HERE BEFORE WE GO TO
VOTE.
YES I I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT
YOU'RE DEALING AYE I HEARD ABOUT
THIS ISSUE A COUPLE OF YEARS AGO
AND THAT. MY FIRST THOUGHT WAS
WELL.
IF IT'S NOT WORKING FOR THE
CHARTER SCHOOLS MAYBE IT'S NOT
WORKING FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
EITHER MAYBE WE SHOULD LOOK TAKE
A LOOK AT MAKING IT BETTER BUT I
DIDN'T. HAVING NOT SERVED ON A
SCHOOL BOARD I DON'T HAVE AS
MUCH X. EXPERIENCE WITH THE
ISSUE BUT. JUST ON THE SURFACE
IT SEEMED LIKE WHY WOULDN'T WE
AND TRY TO MAKE IT WORK.
FOR THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEIR
BOARD MEMBERS AND THEN HAVE IT
BE A FAIR PLAYING FIELD SO I
APPRECIATE YOUR APPROACH I KNOW
IT'S IT'S DIFFICULT.
I ALSO APPRECIATE ON BOTH SIDES
FOR BEING WILLING TO WORK WITH
YOU AND TRY TO REALLY GET
SOMETHING DONE. IN THIS AREA AND
I APPLAUD THEM FOR HOW THEY'VE
HANDLED.
HANDLED THE COMMITTEE HEARING
TODAY. AND I VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE I WANNA SAY EVERY BAD
AYE BUT I DO APPRECIATE IT THAT
THIS IS GONNA BE A LONG AND
WINDING ROAD I'M SURE. I'VE BEEN
ON THESE ONLINE OR IT'S A COUPLE
OF INCIDENCES AND ON ON AND SOME
OTHER BILLS BUT I'M. I THINK
THIS IS A WORTHY TASK TO TAKE ON
AND I I.
I FEEL KIND OF BIZARRE IT'S.
THEY'RE MY RESPONSIBILITY I
SPOKE WHO SITS IN THE CHAIR THIS
COMMITTEE TO TO TRY TO ADJUST
ADDRESS THIS.
