ASSEMBLYMEMBERS RAY S. REGARDING
PUPIL INSTRUCTION INFORMATION

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS.
TODAY I PRESENT TO YOU TWENTY
FIFTEEN WHICH WOULD REQUIRE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHARTER
SCHOOLS TO OFFER PROPER
INSTRUCTION ON THE COMPLETION OF
THE FREE APPLICATION FOR FEDERAL
STUDENT AID.
WHERE THE FASTER?
AND THE CLINTON CALIFORNIA DREAM
THAT APPLICATION THIS
INSTRUCTION MUST BE GIVEN TO
STUDENTS AT LEAST ONCE BEFORE
THE STUDENT.
BEGINS IN GRADE TWELVE HOWEVER
THIS BILL ALLOWS SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AND CHARTER SCHOOLS
THE FLEXIBILITY TO DETERMINE HOW
TO DELIVER THIS INFORMATION.
THE TRANSITION FROM HIGH SCHOOL
TO COLLEGE IS CRUCIAL TO A
STUDENT'S EDUCATIONAL CAREER.
RESEARCH FROM THE NATIONAL
COLLEGE ACCESS NETWORK SHOWS
THAT 90% OF HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
WHO COMPLETE THE FASTER ATTEND
COLLEGE AFTER GRADUATING FROM
HIGH SCHOOL.
COMPARED TO JUST 55% A FAB SO.
NON COMPLETAS.
IN ADDITION THERE ARE A
MULTITUDE OF OBSTACLES THAT MAY
PREVENT OUR STUDENTS FROM
PROPERLY COMPLETING EITHER THE
FASTER APPLICATION OR THE DREAM
THAT APPLICATION.
MANY UNFORTUNATELY STEM FROM
STIGMATIZING MYTHS SURROUNDING
THE PFAFF SO AND THE DREAM THAT.
ACCORDING TO FINN MADE A
RESEARCH WEBSITE FOR STUDENT
FINANCIAL AID INFORMATION.
THE TOP REASON WHY STUDENTS THE
TOP REASONS WHY STUDENTS DO NOT
APPLY FOR PFAFF SIR OR BECAUSE
THEY THINK THEY'RE IN AND
INELIGIBLE THEY DON'T WANT TO
TAKE THAT THAT TAKE ON THE DEBT.
OR THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO APPLY
OVER THE PHONE TO TOO
COMPLICATED.
RECEIVING ASSISTANCE TO FILL OUT
THE FORM CAN MAKE THE DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN WHETHER OR NOT THE
STUDENTS TAKE ATTENDS COLLEGE.
AND ENSURES THAT STUDENTS ARE
GIVEN EVERY OPPORTUNITY TO
PREPARE AND TO SUCCEED HERE TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
ARE DAVID O'BRIEN DIRECTOR OF
GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS FOR THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID

THIS CRUCIAL LEGISLATION WHICH
WILL TAKE.
A KEY FIRST STEP TOWARDS
ENSURING THAT ALL STUDENTS
RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID IN
CALIFORNIA TO WHICH THEY'RE
ENTITLED --
AS MY COLLEAGUE AT TRUST WHAT'S
WILL NO DOUBT NO THIS IS TO A
LARGE EXTENT IN EQUITY ISSUE WE
KNOW THAT MANY STUDENTS OF COLOR
PARTICULARLY AFRICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS APPLY FOR AND THEREFORE
RECEIVE FINANCIAL AID AT LOWER
RATES THAN THE STATEWIDE AVERAGE.
SO IT IS CRUCIALLY THIS
INSTRUCTION BE PROVIDED TO
STUDENTS AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE A
IN THEIR QUE TWELVE EDUCATION
AND WE'VE CERTAINLY COMMISSION
ARE PLEASE TO BECOME SPONSORS
WITH NO CONCERNS WHATSOEVER WITH
THE SUGGESTED STAFF AMENDMENTS.
AND HAVE TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS

GOOD MORNING SENATE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE MEMBERS MINES MAYBE
RODRIGUEZ FROM THE EDUCATION
TRUST WEST --
FIRST I WOULD LIKE TO THINK
ASSEMBLY WOMAN REYES FOR
INTRODUCING THE BILL.
WHICH ADDRESS WAS NOT ONLY
SUPPORTS BUT ALSO HAS IDENTIFIED
AS A LEGISLATIVE PRIORITY THAT
WILL ADVANCE EQUITY AT A HIGH
SCHOOL -- AB
TWENTY FIFTEEN IS A PARTY FOR US
BECAUSE IT WOULD REQUIRE.
AND ENSURE THAT EACH FOR
STUDENTS RECEIVE BASIC
INFORMATION ON HOW TO COMPLETE
THE FASTER CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT
APPLICATION.
TODAY THERE ARE MANY BARRIERS
THAT EXIST FOR STUDENTS WISHING
TO PURSUE A HIGHER EDUCATION.
ONE OF THOSE HURDLES
SPECIFICALLY FOR LOW INCOME
STUDENTS STUDENTS OF COLOR.
IS HAVING INFORMATION ABOUT IN
GETTING ACCESS TO FINANCIALLY.
APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID IS A
CRITICAL STEP FOR STUDENTS WHO
WANT TO ATTEND COLLEGE.
ALARMINGLY IN TWENTY SEVENTEEN
EIGHTEEN ACADEMIC YEAR ONLY 53%
OF CALIFORNIA SENIORS COMPLETED
FASTER.
AND JUST 65% COMPLETELY CAL
GRANT OR DREAM ACT APPLICATION.
UNFORTUNATELY WHEN WE DIG DEEPER
INTO THE STATOR WE SEE THAT TO
SUPPORT DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER
OF THOSE WHO DID NOT COMPLETE
THESE APPLICATIONS WERE LOW
INCOME STUDENTS FOR STUDENTS OF
COLOR.
THAT IS WHY WE'RE EXCITED ABOUT
AB TWENTY FIFTEEN AND KNOW THAT
WITH YOUR SUPPORT WE CAN ENSURE
THAT ALL OUR STUDENTS WILL
RECEIVE BASIC INSTRUCTION ON HOW
TO COMPLETE THESE.
FINANCIAL AID APPLICATIONS.
pFOR LOW INCOME STUDENTS AND
STUDENTS OF COLOR.

ISSUE IS THIS THIS MEASURE CLOSE
THE LOOPHOLE IN OUR CHARTER
SCHOOL LAW IN CALIFORNIA. TO
PROHIBIT CHARTERS FROM OPERATING
AT EITHER VIA THE EDUCATION
MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION MODEL OR
A CHARTER MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZATION MODEL EM OUR CMO.
AS YOU KNOW THERE'S A GROWING
MOVEMENT TO PRIVATIZE OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOLS.
AND FORCEFULLY CORPORATION SEE
PUBLIC EDUCATION AS AN UNTAPPED --
MARKET FOR INCREASING CORPORATE
PROFITS AT THESE ENTITIES HAVE
ESTABLISHED THAT BUSINESS IS TO
START MANAGES CHARTER SCHOOLS.
AND EVEN MORE SO THESE
BUSINESSES CREATE THESE
EMERGENCY OPPOSED TO TO
ESTABLISH A SCHOOLS AND REQUIRE
THEM TO CONTRACT BACK FOR THEIR
SERVICES --
THESE ARE SCARCE PUBLIC TAX
DOLLARS FOCUSING ON CORPORATE
PROFITS SHAREHOLDERS EXCESSIVE
SALARIES WITH LITTLE OR NO
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY.
TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM OUR

GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE RON
RAPIDLY HAVE TO THE CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS WERE THE
PROUD SPONSOR MAYBE FOR A SIX AS
THE AUTHOR STATED WE'VE BEEN
WORKING ON THIS BILL FOR TWO
YEARS ND BEYOND --
TO TRY TO GET IT RIGHT --
THE UTHOR FOR HIS LEADERSHIP IN
THIS AREA IT'S A IT'S A VERY
IMPORTANT ISSUE WHAT WE SEE IN
CALIFORNIA AND NATIONALLY IS
THAT THESE FOR PROFIT EMO ISN'T
CMOS.
ARE TAKING MONEY AWAY FROM OUR
CHILDREN WITHOUT --
TRANSPARENCY AND ACCOUNTABILITY --
AS AS THE AUTHOR STATED FOR A
SIX WILL PROHIBIT THAT PRACTICE
AND KEEP THE MONEY IN THE
CLASSROOM --
I RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE
VOTE ON AB FOR A SIX AGAIN IT
WILL STOP THE CORPORATE IS ASIAN --
OF OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS AND AND
STOP THE SIPHONING OFF A PUBLIC
DOLLARS --
AWAY FROM CHILDREN --
WITH ME TODAY I HAVE DOCTOR GARY

HE'S DONE EXTENSIVE RESEARCH ON
EDUCATION REFORM --
BOTH IN EUROPE AND THROUGHOUT
THE UNITED STATES HE IS THE
PREMIER EXPERTS --
IN THIS AREA IN TERMS OF
ANALYZING WHAT THE DO IN THESE
CHARTER MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS
DO AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE
HELPFUL --
TO HAVE --
DOCTOR MERE ON HERE AS AN EXPERT
WITNESS TODAY HE IS THE AUTHOR
OF A STUDY THAT WE'VE USED
EXTENSIVELY TO TRY TO CRAP THIS
BILL AND TO WORK WITH
STAKEHOLDERS TO COME TO A
COMPROMISE ON ON THE CORRECT
LANGUAGE --
THAT STUDY IS PROFILES OF FOR
PROFIT AND NONPROFIT EDUCATION
MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS IT'S
PUBLISHED BY THE NATIONAL
EDUCATION POLICY CENTER OUT OF
THE UNIVERSITY OF COLORADO.
AND SO I RESPECTFULLY I WOULD
LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO DR GARY
MOORE ON BUT WHEN I THINK THE
GOOD PROFESSOR FOR COMING OUT
AWAY FROM MICHIGAN AND I
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR BEEN
HEARING TESTIMONY [inaudible]
THANKS --
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS ON THIS IS A
REALLY IMPORTANT TOPIC --
IN MY STATE OF MICHIGAN WE HAVE
91% OF OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
NOW OPERATED BY AND ALL AND IN
MOST CASES OWNED BY PRIVATE
EDUCATION MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZATIONS.
CALIFORNIA HAVE A DIFFERENT
PITCH PICTURE NOW NOT SO NOT SO
FOR PROFIT OR BOTH FOR PROFIT
AND AND MICHIGAN THEY'RE MOSTLY
ON 80% OF FOR PROFIT IN ANOTHER
TENANT 11% NONPROFIT.
INVERSE HERE IN CALIFORNIA WE
HAVE MOST OF THE NON PROFITS ARE
PLAYING A LARGE ROLE --
WHAT WE DO IN OUR ANNUAL REPORTS
ON EDUCATION IN MOST AWARE ON
OUR FIFTEENTHADDITION OF THAT
RIGHT NOW WILL COME OUT AND?
TIMBRE WITH NEW NUMBERS BUT WE
TRY TO PRESENT THIS NATIONAL
PICTURE OF OF OF THESE HARTER
MANAGING ORGANIZATIONS ARE
EDUCATION MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZATIONS AND AND THEIR
GROWTH OVER TIME WE TRACK THE
NUMBERS OF YELLOW IS THE NUMBER
SCHOOLS A NUMBER STUDENTS.
AND WE LOOK AT OTHER THINGS
DEMOGRAPHICS FINANCES ARE THERE
OTHER THINGS AS WELL --
WE'VE ALSO BEEN REQUESTING IN
THAT PROCESS OF IDENTIFYING THEM
WE OFTEN DO FOR A REQUEST TO
LOOK AT THOSE MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENTS WE CAN LOOK AT THE
CONDITIONS UNDER WHICH THESE
EMOTES OPERATE AND ALSO TO HELP
US DETERMINE.
WHETHER THIS IS A VENDOR
RELATIONS SHIP SO --
BUT THEY'VE LAGELY WORK IN THE
CHARTER SCHOOL SECTOR ABOUT 4%
OF THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN OUR
NATION OPERATE A BY IAN MOE'S
ARE.
AYE DISTRICT SCHOOLS ALMOST AN
EAST COAST --
96% ARE CHARTER SCHOOLS NED
CHARTER SCHOOL IDEA IS A REALLY
GREAT IDEA.
CHARTER SCHOOLS WHICH MANY IN
THE EARLY EIGHTIES I'M SORRY
EARLY NINETIES BOOK THERE ABOVE
SMALL LOCALLY RUN INNOVATIVE
SCHOOLS.
AND TODAY WHAT WE HAVE EXPECTS
TO WITH THE EMO AS WE HAVE QUITE --
DIFFERENT PIC PICTURE THE
CHARTER SCHOOL IDEA OR IDEAL HAS
BEEN GREATLY DISTORTED IN LARGE
PART BECAUSE THE YET MOST --
SO EMO IS ARE THESE PRIVATE
COMPANIES NONPROFIT A FOR PROFIT
WE DON'T SEE WHEN WE LOOK AT
CONTRACTS WE DON'T SEE A BIG
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THEM.
ARE THE CONDITIONS UNDER THE
CONTRACT BUT THEY OP DAY THEY
START TO SCHOOLS THAT OPERATE
THE SCHOOLS WHAT'S UNIQUE ABOUT
THEM IS THAT THEY HAVE EXECUTIVE
CONTROL THE SCHOOL.
AND THEIR ACCOUNTABLE VOTE FOR
OUTCOMES THEIR DIFFERENT THAN
VENDORS LIKE THAT SENT SOME
PENCILS AND OTHER THINGS THERE'S
LOTS OF PRIVATE VENDORS BUT WHEN
THEY'RE EMO THEY HAVE CONTROLLED
BUDGET.
THEY OFTEN ARE INVOLVED IN START
IN THE SCHOOL --
BUT IN MANY CASES WHEN WE LOOK
AT OTHER THINGS OWNERSHIP OF THE
BUILDING PRIVATELY OWNED
TEACHERS PRIVATE EMPLOYEES.
OUR CURRICULUM OTHER THINGS ALL
PROPRIETARY MATERIALS BELONG TO
THE PRIVATE COMPANY NOT TO THE
NONPROFIT --
PUBLIC GOOD --
ORGANIZATION THAT IS THE OR SO
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO
DISTINGUISH BETWEEN THE FOR
PROFITS AND NONPROFITS EMO WAS
AND AND HOW THOSE ARE DIFFERENT
THAN THE NONPROFIT --
ORGANIZATIONS WHICH IS A CHARTER
SCHOOL BOARD --
GIVEN NATIONAL PICTURE TODAY
WE'RE LOOKING AT A AND AND I
FOURTEENTH EDITION OF THE PMR
PROFILES I CAME OUT IN TWO
THOUSAND THIRTEEN AT THAT TIME
ABOUT 35% OF THE NATION'S
CHARTER SCHOOLS WERE.
WERE OPERATED BY IAN MOWS TODAY
WERE AT 50%.
OLD LOOK A CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW
ABOUT 47% OF YOUR CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE OPERATED BY IAN
MODES AGAIN MOST OF THOSE ARE
NONPROFIT YET MOST --
I THINK THERE'S ONLY ABOUT
THIRTY FIVE OF YOUR SCHOOLS ARE
OPERATED BY PRIVATE OFF FOR
PROFIT YOU MOST.
AND THEN ROLL ABOUT FIFTY
THOUSAND STUDENTS SO THIS BILL
ADDRESSES THE FOR PROFIT IAN WAS
I THINK THAT'S AN IMPORTANT
FIRST STEP BUT IT'S REALLY
IMPORTANT TO LOOK AT THE
DIFFERENCES AND IN THE END MOST
OF THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN THE
FOR PROFIT AND NON PROFITS --
THE MAIN ADVANTAGE WITH IAN MOST
NATIONALLY.
IS THAT THEY ARE VEHICLE FOR
GROWTH THEY HAVE BEEN THE
EXPECTS THE FOR PROFIT TO REALLY
PUT IN THE LATE NINETIES UP
UNTIL THE EDISON SCANDALS AND
PROBLEMS WITH EDISON SCHOOLS
INCORPORATED.
UP INTO 200-022-0003 THE FOR
PROFITS WITH THE VEHICLE FOR
GROWTH.
BUT REMEMBER CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
SUPPOSED TO SMALL LOCALLY RUN
SCHOOLS AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE
ENOUGH FOUNDER SOLD.
EXPECTS THE PHILANTHROPIC SECTOR
PUSHED FOR THE FOR PROFITS AND
THEN LATER THE NON PROFITS TO
HELP THEM BECOME THE VEHICLE FOR
GROWTH SO WE SEE CHARTER SCHOOL
OF MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS ARE
YOU MOST.
THEY START CHART THAT THEY THEY
DO MARKET ANNOUNCES THEY DECIDE
WHERE TO START A SCHOOL.
THEY USUALLY IF WE LOOK AT THAT
CONDEMN THE CONCERNS WE HAVE
THEY IDENTIFY NUMBER PEOPLE CAN
BE BORN BUT MEMBERS IN THE PAST
WAS NAMES ON TO THE AUTHORIZED
WITH DAN.
MAKES THEM THE PUBLIC BOARD --
AND SO THIS IS A BIG THE
OPERATION OF THE SCHOOLS.
AND HOW IT IMPACTS PRIVACY.
PRIVATIZATION ISSUESAND
TRANSPARENCY BECAUSE VERY HARD
TO GET INFORMATION FROM THESE
PRIVATE ORGANIZATIONS WHETHER
THEY'RE NONPROFIT OR FOR A FOR
PROFIT --
LOOK AT THE DISADVANTAGE IS THAT
DIFFERENT DISADVANTAGES ARE A
LOT OF PERFORMANCE THEY DON'T
PERFORM AS WELL AS A INDEPENDENT
CHARTER SCHOOLS THE FOR PROFITS.
A NUMBER OF STUDIES OVER THE
YEARS HAVE SHOWN THAT THE FOR
PROFITS PERFORM LESS WELL
RELATIVE TO THE NONPROFITS --
WE LOOK AT PRIVATIZATIONS
TRANSPARENCY ISSUE.
IT'S VERY HARD FOR US TO DO FOR
YOUR REQUEST BECAUSE THEY'RE
USUALLY PASS ON A PRIVATE
COMPANY.
OR NONPROFIT COMPANY AND THEY
SAY HEY WE DON'T HAVE TO TO GIVE
YOU A COPY THE MANAGEMENT
AGREEMENT WE DON'T HAVE TO GIVE
YOU THE LEASE AGREEMENT.
YOU CAN'T FOIA US AND AND LIKE
YOU'RE RIGHT AND I SENT A FOUR
HIT TO THE CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD
WHY YOU HANDLING AT BECAUSE
OFTEN THE CHARTER SCHOOL BOARD
CAME AFTER THE EMAIL.
AND THEY OFTEN PLAY AN ADVISOR
ROLE EVEN NOT NOT RECOGNIZE THE
IMPORTANT ROLE AS A LEGAL PUBLIC
ENTITY.
SO ANOTHER THING IS PROFITEERING
THEY MAKE A LOT OF PROFIT A LOT%
OF MONEY IS TAKEN OFF WE LOOK AT
THAT I'M MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS.
YOU SEE ABOUT 104% 10215% OF ALL
REVENUES GOES AS A MANAGEMENT
FEE AND THEN THE MANAGEMENT
COMPANY WILL STRUCTURE THE
CONTRACT SO THAT.
EVERYTHING IS PAID BY THE BOARD
FOR THE EMPLOYEES UP PRIVATE
EMPLOYEES --
THE PRIVATE ADMINISTRATORS --
ALL THE THINGS I'D BEEN PAID BUT
A FEED USING OF 10215% AND
WHAT'S ALARMING TODAY WHEN WE
LOOK A CONTRACTOR MOST OF THE
CMOS BOOK NONPROFIT AND FOR
PROFIT.
THE GOING TO SOMETHING THAT WE
CALL SWEET SO IF I THAT ALL
REVENUE THAT COMES IN WILL BE
TRANSFERRED AT FIRST OF THE
MONTH TO A BMO.
AND THE BOARD.
CHARTER SCHOOL THE PUBLIC ENTITY
IS GUARANTEED A 2% OR 33% YEAR
AND BALANCE SO WE HAVE LESS AND
LESS TRANSPARENCY EVEN THE BOARD
WE'VE SEEN THE SOME LAWSUITS IN
OHIO AND OTHER PLACES WITH THE
BOARD CAN'T EVEN GET DATA FROM
THE E. AMAL.
ON HOW THE FINANCES ARE BEING
SPENT SO THESE ARE SOME SOME OF
THE CONCERNS AND DISADVANTAGES
WITH SOME --
I MENTIONED THAT THE DIFFERENCES
BETWEEN THE FOR PROFITS AND
NONPROFITS ARE GREAT.
CHARTER SCHOOLS WILL YOU COULD
CHARTS WITH IS A STORY OF
ANECDOTES IS ALWAYS EXCEPTIONS
THERE'S A COUPLE REALLY GOOD
ACTORS OUT THERE.
AND WE SEEKS BETWEEN CALIFORNIA
WE SEE WITH THE PHILANTHROPIC
SECTOR WE SEE A SUBGROUP OF
THESE NONPROFIT YET MOST
BRINGING MONEY WITH THEM TO THE
CHARTER SCHOOLS ACTUALLY GREEN
MORE PHILANTHROPIC DOLLARS TO
THE SCHOOLS.
THEN THEY TAKE AWAY IN THEIR OWN
FEES AND SO FORTH SO WE CAN'T
GENERALIZE ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS
BUT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
LOOK AT THE BROAD PICTURE AND
WHAT'S ON LARGELY HAPPENING.
HE EXPECTS IN THE NONPROFIT
SECTOR AS WELL.
ARM THE TEARS BECAUSE IT'S A
GREAT IDEA.
BUT THERE IS WAS TO BE LOCALLY
RUN AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING TODAY
IS WE SEE CHARTER SCHOOLS BEING
HOPE RUN HALFWAY ACROSS THE
STATE.
WE SEE CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT HERE
IN CALIFORNIA BEING RENT FROM
NORTH CAROLINA AND MICHIGAN WE
SEE TERRACE WAS IN RISK IN
CALIFORNIA MISS EVEN NEW YORK
STATE BEING RUN FROM OVERSEAS.
THIS STUFF LOCALLY RUN.
TERRACE WAS WHOSE POST WE
INNOVATIVE AND WHAT WE HAVE WITH
THESE COMPANIES THEY COME IN
WITH THE COOKIE CUTTER ALL YOU
HAVE TO DO IS IN AND THEY CAN
WRITE APPLICATIONS THEY CAN
BREAK CHARTER PROPOSALS.
BECAUSE HE SIMPLY CHANGE THE
NAME AND THE ADDRESS AND THEY
JUST GENERATE ALL THOSE THE CAN
THEIR WONDERFUL VEHICLE FOR
GROWTH.
BUT DO NOT INNOVATIVE TO PRESENT
THE SAME THING AGAIN AND AGAIN.
AND THEY DON'T HAVE THAT LOCAL
CONTROL THAT WE WANT ARM SO SOME
OF THE THINGS WE TYPICALLY
RECOMMEND WHEN WE DO OUR STATE
EVALUATIONS FOR EDUCATION
EDUCATION OUR STATE EDUCATION
AGENCIES IS.
IT'S LIKE REQUIRING HARM OR
REQUESTING THAT.
AUTHORIZES REVIEW ANY CONTRACTS
THAT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
BETWEEN THE BOARD AND THAT YAMAL
AND ALSO LEASE AGREEMENTS WHICH
IS A BIG AREA FOR PROFITING FOR
THESE COMPANIES BECAUSE THEY
OFTEN ON THE BUILDINGS OR THEY
OWN -- ITS
OWN THROUGH A PAPA SUBSIDIARY OF
THE OF THE IMAM.
ANOTHER THING THAT'S VERY
IMPORTANT IS TRYING TO COULD
REQUIRE REQUIRE A BIDDING
PROCESS AND MANY STATES WHEN YOU
HAVE LARGE.
CONTRACTS BEING.
DELEGATED TO PUBLIC ENTITIES.
LIKE IN MICHIGAN IF IT'S OVER
TEN THOUSAND DOLLARS IS REQUIRED
TO HAVE TO DEAL PUBLIC BIDDING
PROCESS.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE AT LEAST THREE
BIDS AND SO THIS IS ANOTHER
THING THAT WE RECOMMEND AS A WAY
TO INSURE THAT WE GET THE BOARD
FOR THE PUBLIC BOARD IN PLACE
FIRST AND EMPOWER --
BECAUSE WE WHAT WE NEED THEM IN
PLACE AND SO THAT IF THEY DON'T
PUBLIC BIDDING PROCESS ARE GONNA
FORCE DIZZY AND MOST TO THINK
TWICE ABOUT CHARTING STARTING A
SCHOOL.
THAT MIGHT THEN BE HANDED OVER
TO A DIFFERENT MANAGEMENT
COMPANY BUT IT ALSO PUTS THE
BOARDS IN A POSITION OF POWER
BECAUSE MANY TIME THE GOVERNING
BOARD WHICH REPRESENTS THE
STUDENTS AND THE TAXPAYERS.
THEY OFTEN THINK THIRD ADVISORY
ROLE BECAUSE THEY COME AFTER THE
M. ALL WE GOTTA FIND A WAY TO
GET.
THE BOARD IN PLACE FIRST AND
THEN THE EMO IF THERE'S GOING TO
BE ANY OF OUR VENDOR THAT THEY
COME LEADER --
SO MUCH TALK ABOUT THE SYSTEM
BIT OF AN OVERVIEW AND I'VE GOT
SOME DATA AND INFORMATION
SPECIFIC CALIFORNIA IF YOU'D
LIKE SOME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HE
APPRECIATE THEM THANK YOU.
I'VE FOLKS WANT TO VOICE THEIR
SUPPORT FOR THE BILL.
SANDERS SMITH THEN DOUBLE ACP WE

ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA.

I MEAN CARLOS MARKETS WITH THE
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION WE CURRENTLY DON'T
HAVE A POSITION WE LOOK FORWARD
TO REVIEWING THE AMENDMENTS.
AYE BUT HAVE BEEN AGREED TO BY
THE AUTHOR --
AND SUGGESTED BY THE COMMITTEE --
BUT WE ARE ON RECORD --
AND HAVE SPONSORED LEGISLATION
TO BAN ENTITIES FOR PROFIT
ENTITIES FROM HOLDING A CHARTER
AND ALSO TO LIMIT THAT POTENTIAL
EFFECTIVE CONTROL.
AT THAT FOR PROFITS COULD
POTENTIALLY.
SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA AND WE
THINK THAT --
THE AMENDMENTS ARE ABSOLUTELY
MOVING IN THE RIGHT DIRECTION SO
THANK YOU ASSEMBLY MEMBER
MCCARTY AND AND AND SPONSORS IN
THE COMMITTEE.
GREAT THANK YOU AYE ANYONE WHO
WANTS SERIOUS CONCERNS ABOUT THE
DOLLAR OPPOSITION [inaudible]
DIRECTOR.
MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS BROWN
TAKE JONES ON BEHALF OF K.
TWELVE AND LEARN FOR LIFE --
IN OPPOSITION.
YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE AMENDMENTS
HAVE HAD A CHANCE TO LOOK AT
THEM WE WILL REVIEW THEM --
OUR CONCERN IS ALWAYS BEEN WE
BELIEVE TO BILLS ABOUT
LITIGATION WE DON'T BELIEVE THE
BILL'S ABOUT FOR PROFIT CHARTER-SCHOOLS.
BEEN WORKING IN CHARTER SCHOOLS
BASED ABOUT EIGHTEEN YEARS
UNDERSTAND THAT.
AT ONE POINT WE DID HAVE A
NUMBER OF FOR PROFIT CHARTER
SCHOOLS IN THE STATE NOW YOU
HAVE ABOUT.
SIX SO YOUR PASSING A PIECE
LEGISLATION TO AFFECT FIX
SCHOOLS.
AND OUR QUESTION IS YOU KNOW HOW
DO YOU DEFINE OPERATE AS A FOUR
BY.
THE WEEK WITH WHERE WE'RE GOING
HERE WHAT'S THE REAL INTENT OF
THIS.
CLUB AND I APPRECIATE THE
GENTLEMAN FROM MICHIGAN COMING
OUT BUT UNDERSTAND.
ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS HAVE
NONPROFIT GOVERNING BOARDS.
BUT THEY HAVE CONTRA THEY DO
HAVE CONTRACTS WITH SOME FOR
PROFIT.
COMPANIES AND WE WANT TO PROTECT
THE ABILITY TO DO THAT AND WE
HOPE THE LEGISLATION DOWN.
OR THE IMAGE OF CRAFTED WE HOPE
THAT IT DEALS WITH THAT IN IN IN
SEPARATES BETWEEN THAT.
BUT WE BELIEVE LIKE.
HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES THIS
STATE.
THAT THE THOUGHT OF THIS BILL
PASSED AND SIGNED INTO LAW WILL
BE USING PROP NINETY EIGHT
DOLLARS IN LITIGATION AND NOT ON
OUR STUDENTS THAT RAISES
CONCERNS FOR US.
DELANO HALLERAN METATARSALS
DEVELOPMENT CENTER I'M AGAIN
THAT I WANTED TO ECHO WHAT FRONT
SHE WAS TALKING ABOUT LITTLE
AROUND THE NUMBERS THAT THE LAST
SPEAKER.
TALKED ABOUT WITH THIRTY FIVE
SOULES WE THINK THEY'RE MORE
LIKE SIX AM IF THIS BILL IS KIND
OF A A BROAD BRUSH TO ADDRESS A
VERY SMALL ISSUE.
WE ALSO THINK THAT IT LIMITS AND
INNOVATIVE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES
LIKE TEACHER EMPLOYEE OWNERSHIP
AND PARTNERSHIPS --
WE THINK THAT RATHER THAN --
SIPHONING OFF PUBLIC DOLLARS IT
ACTUALLY WOULD PROHIBIT
CURRENTLY COMING PRACTICES OF
OUTSOURCING AND BUSINESS
SERVICES FOOD SERVICES
FACILITIES MAINTENANCE AND OTHER
ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS TO THINK IT
REALLY LIMITS THE IDEA WHAT
CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE.
FOR TIME TO BE INNOVATIVE AND TO
BE CREATIVE AND TO USE TAXPAYER
DOLLARS MORE UP WISELY AND SO WE
REMAIN IN OPPOSITION BEFORE TO
SEEN THE AMENDMENTS AND HOPE TO
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE BILL.
Q. FREAKY FOR EVERYONE FOR
COMING AND I'M SEEING NO OTHER
OPPOSITION ARM FOLKS HONOREES
CONCERNS.
OKAY THE MATTERS BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSION --
I WANTED TO START BY THANKING
THE AUTHOR I'M I WON A
PARTICULAR THINK RON RAPOSA
MARKINGS TREMENDOUSLY DIFFICULT
AND HARD ON THIS.
WITH A LOT OF MOVING PARTS IN
DIFFERENT AND FOLKS FROM ALL
OVER THE THE THE SPECTRUM MY
TURN AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT OF OF
OF A PLACE TO LAND.
ON I MEAN ULTIMATELY I THINK
THAT.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE HAVE
SAID OVER AND OVER AGAIN THAT
AND WE DON'T WANT TO MOVE TOWARD
A MOTTO --
LAKE MICHIGAN OR ELSEWHERE WHERE
IT WHERE SO MUCH OF THE WHERE
APPARENTLY SO MUCH OF THE
CHARTER SCHOOL SECTOR IS.
RUN BY FOR PROFITS AND THAT.
IT WE LIKE OUR CHARTER SCHOOLS
WE WANT THEM TO BE.
A NONPROFIT AND DONE.
YOU KNOW GENDAI UP WE HAD.
HE HEARD THE COMMENTS FROM THE
THE FOLKS FROM THE CHARTER
SCHOOL ASSOCIATION --

TO GETTING A BUT WORKABLE
SOLUTION HERE THAT MEETS
EVERYBODY'S NEEDS.

I THINK WHERE WHERE THIS IS THIS
IS.

ONGOING CHALLENGE AND I IN THE
BEEN THAT NASH IN THE STATE

THURMOND FOR BRINGING IT FORWARD
WE URGE YOUR SUPPORT TODAY AND I
WILL GLADLY TURN OVER THE REST
OF MY TIME TO THE FOLKS WHO ARE
HERE IN SUPPORT THANK YOU.
HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TIME -- I'M
SPEAKING HERE ON POLY PAGE APART
FROM OUR FAMILY COALITION.
WHICH WORKS ON BEHALF OF THE
LGBTQ FAMILIES IN THE BAY AREA
AND BE.
BUT I'M ACTUALLY SPEAKING TODAY
MOSTLY FROM MY HEART AND AS A
PARENT -- ON
BEHALF OF MY TO SCHOOL CHILDREN
BOTH OF WHOM ARE IN BERKELEY
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT THERE
NOW.
RISING SIXTH AND NINTH GRADERS
BUT EACH OF THEM HAD EXPERIENCED
AS WE'VE JUST HEARD THE
INCIDENTS OF HARASSMENT --
BEFORE THEY EVEN GOT THROUGH
THIRD GRADE --
THEY WERE JUST AT THE BRINK OF
GETTING REALLY CONNECTED AND
INVESTED IN SCHOOL ANY TO THEM
BEFORE THEY FINISHED THIRD GRADE
WERE.
HARASSED AND HE'S ON THE BASIS
OF THEIR PARENTS BEING GAY.
AND THIS IS I WANT TO UNDERSCORE
BERKELEY UNIFIED BACK TO BE ONE
OF THE MOST --
SYMPATHETIC PREDISPOSED TOWARD
LGBTQ UNDERSTANDING AS WE CAN
FIND.
ALSO MY DAUGHTER EXPERIENCED --
IN SEVENTH GRADE --
THE ON RELENTING HARASSMENT OF A
FRIEND OF HERS WHO WAS COMING
OUT AS A TRANS AND WELL IN BOTH
OF THESE CASES.
THE TEACHERS WANTED TO HELP THEY
DIDN'T KNOW HOW.
IN THE CASE OF MY DAUGHTER'S
TEACHER SHE WAS HUGELY ASHAMED
OF NOT KNOWING HOW TO SUPPORT
HER AND I SPENT AS MUCH TIME AS
I COULD AS A PARENT BUT SHE
SIMPLY DIDN'T HAVE THE RESOURCES
IN THE CASE OF MY DAUGHTERS --
THE FRIEND IN SEVENTH GRADE --
THAT TEACHER WAS DEFENSIVE AND
AGAIN UNPREPARED TO UNDERSTAND
THE DEPTH OF THE SITUATION.
SO --
THERE'S AMPLE LEGISLATION WHICH
SUPPORTS NONDISCRIMINATION BUT
THIS LEGISLATION THAT --
THURMAN HAS.
IN A PROPOSED TWENTY ONE FIFTY
THREE IS CRITICAL TO FINISH THE
JOB -- THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
BLOWN THINKS VERY TIME MY NAME
IS LILLIAN AND I AM A CURRENT
COLLEGE STUDENT AT NORTHWESTERN
UNIVERSITY.
AND I'M ALSO AN EDUCATION
INTERNET OUR FAMILY COALITION.
THOUGH I'M NO LONGER IN HIGH
SCHOOL THERE'S A DAY FOR MY
SOPHOMORE YEAR THAT I REMEMBER
REALLY VIVIDLY.
IN CLASS ONE DAY WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT DATING AS HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS DO AND ONCE SOMEONE
BROUGHT UP THE INNOCUOUS IDEA OF
A MAN DATING ANOTHER MAN.
MY TEACHER WHO OVERHEARD REACTED
IN THE MOST UPSETTING WAY
POSSIBLE.
SHE VISIBLY RECOILED IN DISGUST
AND VERBALLY SAID YOU OUT LOUD
AT THE MERE THOUGHT AND
SUGGESTION.
THAT TWO MEN COULD POSSIBLY BE
ROMANTICALLY INTERESTED IN ONE
ANOTHER.
THE MOMENT WAS SHOCKING TO SAY
THE LEAST MY TEACHER A PERSON
WHO I TRUSTED HEDGES OPENLY AND
OUTWARDLY DISPLAYED AN OVER
ACTIVE HOMOPHOBIA --
WELCOME AND CELEBRATE DIVERSITY
OF ALL KINDS MY TEACHER HAD JUST
ON THE VERY OPPOSITE.
SO FOR THE REST OF THE SEMESTER
I AND THE REST MY PEERS FROM
THAT CLASS HAD TO GO TO HER
CLASS EVERYDAY FEELING A HEAVY
SENSE OF DISCOMFORT KNOWING WHAT
MY TEACHER THOUGHT OF LGBTQ
INDIVIDUALS.
THOUGH THE INCIDENT WAS A LONG
TIME AGO I DON'T FEEL FAR
REMOVED FROM THE SITUATION AT
ALL.
RECENTLY I TOOK A CLASS ON
GENDER IDENTITY DEVELOPMENT
MINORITY TRUST IN POLICY AND
NORTHWESTERN.
AND IN THAT CLASS I WROTE A
PAPER ON IMPROVING SCHOOL
CLAIMANTS FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS AND
I MADE A POLICY RECOMMENDATIONS
SUGGESTING THAT MORE SCHOOLS ARE
TO MANDATE THAT EDUCATORS BE
TRAINED.
TO ADDRESS LGBTQ ISSUES AND
THEMES.
WHILE I RESEARCHED ON WORKLOADS
ON THAT PAPER I COULDN'T HELP
BUT THINK BACK TO THAT INSTEAD
IN HIGH SCHOOL.
AND WONDER HOW THINGS MAY HAVE
BEEN DIFFERENT HAD MIGHT NO THAT
IF YOU'RE IN REACTION TO CLEARLY
INAPPROPRIATE.
WE URGE THE MEMBERS OF THIS
COMMITTEE TO SUPPORT AB TWENTY
ONE FIFTY THREE TO ENABLE
TEACHERS TO BE PREPARED TO TREAT
ALL THEIR STUDENTS AFFIRMING LEE
AND RESPECTFULLY SO THAT
STUDENTS OF ALL GENDER
IDENTITIES AND SEXUAL
ORIENTATIONS.
NEVER HAVE TO FEEL OSTRACIZED BY
THEIR OWN TEACHERS AND ON SAFE
IN THEIR OWN SCHOOLS.

UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
ASSISTANT SUPERINTENDENT
PROFESSIONAL GOAL SYSTEMS.
WHEN IT THANK YOU ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THURMAN FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ADDRESS YOU TODAY?
RIVERSIDE INVITES A FIFTEENTH
LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN
CALIFORNIA WITH OVER FORTY TWO
THOUSAND STUDENTS WE STARTED OUR
CURRENT DUAL LANGUAGE IMMERSION
OR DLI PROGRAM EIGHT YEARS AGO
IN.
TWO THOUSAND TEN WE NOW HAVE SIX
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS IN OUR DEAL I
PROGRAM WE'VE GOT TO TRANSITION
THE FIRST COHORTS OF DLI
STUDENTS TO THE MIDDLE SCHOOL.
WITH ARE VISION TO EXPAND
THROUGH THE TWELFTH GRADE.
AND THE YEAR.
TWENTY NINETEEN TWENTY WE
ANTICIPATE HAVING OUR FIRST HIGH
SCHOOL FRESHMAN CLASS OF DLI
STUDENTS.
OUR DAD DATA INDICATES VERY
CLEARLY.
JUST AS IT DOES FOR SCHOOLS
ACROSS THE STATE ARE DLI
STUDENTS ACHIEVING ABOVE THE
AVERAGE OF MULTIPLE METRICS.
THIS INCLUDES BOTH ARE ENGLISH
LEARNERS.
AN ENGLISH NATIVE SPEAKERS.
AB TWENTY FIVE FOURTEEN IS
IMPORTANT TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT
BECAUSE IT WOULD PROVIDE THE
NEEDED ADDITIONAL RESOURCES TO
SPECIFICALLY TARGET THE AREAS WE
NEED TO ADDRESS TO CONTINUE
EXPANDING RTL I PROGRAM.
WE'RE SPECIFICALLY CONCERNED
ABOUT TO AREAS LA ONE STUDENT
ACCESS TO AND RETURN CHEN THE
DLA PROGRAM AT THE SECONDARY
LEVEL.
AND SECONDLY ADDRESSING THE
TEACHER SHORTAGE FOR DLI CLASSES
SO THE FIRST STUDENT ACCESS. TO
DLI CLASSES AT THE SECONDARY
LEVEL IS.
PARTICULARLY CHALLENGING BECAUSE
STUDENTS NEED ROOM IN THEIR
SCHEDULE TO BE ABLE TO TAKE
OTHER CLASSES OF THEIR CHOICE
SUCH AS VISUALART'S PERFORMING
ARTS ABBY.
CREW TECHNICAL DUCATION IN
ETHNIC STUDIES.
IN ADDITION TO THE REQUIRED
WORLD LANGUAGE CLASS THAT'S
REQUIRED TO CONTINUE BUILDING
THEIR TARGET LANGUAGE
ACQUISITION THEN THE DLI PROGRAM.
WE BELIEVE IT'S IMPORTANT FOR
STUDENTS IN DELIGHT TO HAVE THE
SAME ACCESS AND OPPORTUNITIES AS
ANY OTHER STUDENT TO HAVE A
COMPREHENSIVE IN FULL EXPERIENCE.
AT THE MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL
LEVEL.
SO AS WE EXPAND OUR DLI PROGRAM
INTO THE SECONDARY LEVELS AND
STUDENTS EACH TAKE SPANISH FOR
EXAMPLE WHICH IS ARE SCHEDULED.
OTHER TARGET LANGUAGE OTHER
SCHEDULES GET IMPACTED AND THIS
BILL WOULD PROVIDE THE RESOURCES
TO DEVELOP A FULL COURSE
SEQUENCE AND ALLOW DELIGHTS
WHOSE TAXES AND CONTINUE THE
PROGRAM.
AFTER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
AS FOR ADDRESSING THE TEACHER
SHORTAGE FOR THE DEAL I PROGRAM
WE CURRENTLY HAVE A PARTNERSHIP
WITH UC RIVERSIDE EXTENSION WERE
WERE PREPARING TEACHERS FOR
THEIR BE CLAD WHICH AUTHORIZES
THEM TO TEACH THESE DELEK
CLASSES.
IT'S PROGRAM IS BEING FUNDED
WITH THE BY LEGAL AUTHORIZATION
GRANT FROM THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION HOWEVER
THE FUNDING.
IS LIMITED IT'S ALLOCATION THAT
WE HOPE WE CAN BUILD ON WITH A
BEAT [inaudible]
TWENTY FIVE FOURTEEN FINALLY.
WE'RE VERY INTERESTED IN
STARTING DLI IN OUR EARLY
CHILDHOOD EDUCATION PROGRAMS IN
THE ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS THAT
CURRENTLY OFFER DLI IN OUR
DISTRICT.
WE BELIEVE THAT PROVIDING
STUDENTS INSTRUCTION IN THE
TARGET LANGUAGE S. EARLIEST
PRESCHOOL WOULD CONTRIBUTE
FURTHER TO CLOSING THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP AS EARLY AS
POSSIBLE.
AND POISE ARE ENGLISH LEARNERS
IN PARTICULAR TO GREATER SUCCESS
AS THEY PROGRESS THROUGH THE
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM.
OUR NEEDS AND ARE YOU ES DE IN
RIVERSIDE ARE NOT VERY DIFFERENT
FROM OTHER DISTRICTS ACROSS THE
STREET.
WHILE ACROSS THE STATE AGAIN I

TWENTY FIVE FOURTEEN I WOULD
LIKE TO BEGIN BY TELLING YOU THE
STORY OF FOR STUDENTS THAT I
BROUGHT WITH ME TODAY.
MARY IS AN ELEVENTH GRADER AT
FAIRFAX HIGH SCHOOL.
SHE FOUND OUT SHE WAS A LONG
TERM ENGLISH LEARNER AND
ELEVENTH GRADE AND THAT SHE
NEEDED TO FULFILL THE
REQUIREMENTS TO RECLASSIFY
[inaudible]
BEFORE GRADUATION.
SHE WAS VERY UPSET AT FINDING
OUT THIS INFORMATION HOWEVER THE
STAFF CAME TOGETHER TO SUPPORT
HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO
RECLASSIFY WITHIN SIX MONTHS.
BUT UNDER THE STORY OF A TENTH
GRADE STUDENT AT FREMONT HIGH
SCHOOL.
HE CAME TO THE UNITED STATES ON
HIS OWN FROM EL SALVADOR. TO BE
REUNITED WITH HIS PARENTS WHOM
HE HADN'T SEEN FOR TEN YEARS.
HE WAS ABLE TO MEET OTHER
BECAUSE OF OCCASION CRITERIA
WITHIN ONE SCHOOL YEAR.
THROUGH THE SUPPORT OF MANY
TEACHERS COUNSELORS AND HIS
PRINCIPAL.
THERE IS ANOTHER STORY OF A
YOUNG MAN WHO WANTS TO BECOME
TRAILING WILL.
HIS MOTHER ENROLLED HIM IN ONE
OF OUR DUAL LANGUAGE MANDARIN
CLASSROOMS.
WHILE MAINTAINING THE SPANISH
LANGUAGE AT HOME SO THAT BY THE
TIME HE ENTERS MIDDLE SCHOOL
HE'S TRILINGUAL.
AND LASTLY THERE IS A THIRD
GRADE STUDENT WHO IS AN
IMMIGRANT FROM AFRICA.
HER MOTHER ENROLLED HER IN A
KOREAN DUELING WITH SCHOOL.
WHEN I ASKED HER MOTHER WHY SHE
ENROLLED HER IN A KOREAN SCHOOL?
INSTEAD OF HAVING HER MAINTAIN
HER HOME LANGUAGE AND LEARN
ENGLISH.
HER MOTHER SAID.
I WANT MY DAUGHTER TO KNOW THAT
THE WORLD BELONGS TO HER.
AND NOT TO FEEL THAT SHE BELONGS
TO THE WORLD.
BY SPEAKING MANY LANGUAGES SHE
WILL BE ABLE TO LEARN AND KNOW
MORE ABOUT HERSELF THE WORLD IN
ITS PEOPLE.
THESE ARE JUST SOME OF THE
STORIES OF THE STUDENTS AND
FAMILIES IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THE STORIES OF THE STUDENTS
REPRESENTS SOME OF THE
CHALLENGES WE CONTINUE TO FACE.
AND SOME OF THE AMAZING WORLD
CLASS PROGRAMS THAT EXIST WITHIN
OUR DISTRICT.
IN LA UNIFIED WE OFFER ONE
HUNDRED AND ONE DUAL LANGUAGE
PROGRAMS IN SPANISH MANDARIN
KOREAN.
FRENCH ARMENIAN AND ARABIC.

SUPPORT. TO BECOME GLOBALLY
PREPARED WORLD CITIZENS.
LET'S NOT ALLOW THE STUDENTS
HOME LANGUAGE IS TO BECOME
EXTINCT.
LET'S HARNESS THE POWER OF
STUDENTS IDENTITY INCREASE
PROGRAMS FOR ALL STUDENTS
BENEFIT.
THAT CONTRIBUTE TO LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS IN A POSITIVE WAY.

OVERSIGHT OF CHARTERS IS BEST
CONDUCTED. TO PROTECT THE

FURTHERMORE CURRENT LAW IT IS
NOT CLEAR ABOUT CHARTER SCHOOLS
GOVERNING BOARDS CONFLICT OF
INTEREST POLICIES.
THE BILL WILL ENSURE THAT

GOVERNING BOARDS WILL NOT USER

POLITICAL GAIN.
I APPRECIATE THE WORK OF THE

AMENDMENTS.
THAT WILL ALLOW PUBLIC RECORDS
TO BE ACCESS VIA THE AUTHORIZED

OF MISTER CHAIR AND SENATOR SOFT
BRAMBLE HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
PROUD TO CO SPONSOR THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION REALLY
APPRECIATE.
THE TIME AND EFFORT SPENT BY THE
AUTHOR BY COMMITTEE STAFF BY THE
CHAIR. TO COME TO AN AGREEMENT
ON AMENDMENT A ON PAGE FOUR AS
WAS REFERENCE TO THE EDIT TO THE
AMENDMENT FOR THE COMMITTEE'S
BENEFIT.
WILL READ AND I'M QUOTING HERE
THE GOVERNING BOARD OF A LOCAL
EDUCATION AGENCY.
INCLUDING A CHARTER SCHOOL AND
OR AN ENTITY MANAGING A CHARTER
SCHOOL.
SHALL BE SUBJECT TO ALL OF THE
FOLLOWING SO WE REALLY
APPRECIATE --
THE AGREEMENT AROUND THAT
CHANGED TO AMENDMENT A ON PAGE.
FOUR CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED
WITH THE PROMISE WOULD HAVE USED
TO START GO AHEAD ONE THEM VERY
MUCH APPRECIATE THAT BUT THE ONE
FINAL AND THEY SHOULD THAT WE'RE
GONNA.
CONTINUE TO WORK OVER THIS WEEK
TWO I TRY TO FIGURE OUT A
DEFINITION --
AND SO THAT THE MOVEMENT OF THE
BILL S. IS STILL DEPENDENT UPON
THAT BIG SUCCESSFUL COMPLETION
OF THAT NEGOTIATION AGREE.
THANK YOU.
UP CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS THAT WERE ESTABLISHED
WITH THE PROMISE.
WE WILL GIVE YOU THE FREEDOM TO
INNOVATE AND YOU WILL SHOW US
RESULTS LIKE LIGHTHOUSES THEY
WERE A PLACE WHERE WE COULD TRY
SOMETHING A LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT
AND WE COULD LOOK TO IN ORDER TO
DETERMINE.
WHETHER THIS SOME POLICY SETS
THAT WOULD BENEFIT THE ENTIRE
SYSTEM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION I DID
ATTEND A MEETING IN OAKLAND OF
THE LOOP LITTLE HOOVER
COMMISSION A COUPLE YEARS AGO
REGARDING CHARTER SCHOOLS I WAS
EXCITED TO HEAR.
FROM THE DIRECTOR OF OAKLAND
UNIFIED CHARTER SCHOOL DIVISION
ABOUT A PROGRAM SHE CAUGHT
KNOWLEDGE TRANSFER THIS WAS
PRINCIPLES AT CHARTER SCHOOLS
AND PRINCIPLES THAT NEIGHBORHOOD
PUBLIC NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC
SCHOOLS COMING TOGETHER. TO
SHARE BEST PRACTICES SHARE
LESSONS LEARNED AND WE DON'T DO
THAT WORK ENOUGH THAT SAID.
THE SYSTEM CANNOT LEARN FROM
THIS INNOVATION IF THE BUSINESS
OF THE PUBLIC IS CONDUCTED IN
PRIVATE.
THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CHARTER
SCHOOLS WAS NOT PASSED THE
PUBLIC YIELDING OUR CONTROL TO
THE AGENCIES THAT SERVE US.
WE DID NOT INTEND TO GIVE A
CHARTER SCHOOL TOTAL AUTHORITY
TO DO WHAT THEY WANT WITH OUR
TAX DOLLARS.
BUT IN FACT WE INSIST ON
RETAINING CONTROL AND ON STAYING
INFORMED HAVING PRIVATE AND
SECRET MEETINGS TO DISCUSS HOW
TAX DOLLARS WILL BE SPENT IS NOT
INNOVATION.
IT DOES NOT BENEFIT THE SYSTEM
AND IN FACT IT'S RESULTED IN
SOME HORROR STORIES I CAN GO
INTO SOME DETAIL AND PROVIDE
SOME EXAMPLES.
IF THE COMMITTEE --
REQUEST THAT WITH THIS BILL IS
SAYING USED TO CHARTER SCHOOLS
IS DO WHAT YOU WANT BUT DO IT
OUT IN PLAIN VIEW WHERE EVERYONE
CAN SEE.
WHAT THIS BILL IS SAYING IS
DREAM BIG AND THINK OUTSIDE THE
BOX BUT DON'T ABUSE THE PUBLIC
TRUST AND SPEND TAX DOLLARS ON
THE KIDS ON OUR CHILDREN?
WE URGE YOUR SUPPORT.
THANK YOU THANK YOU VERY MUCH
YES.

DEFINITION IN THE FIRST PART OF
THE BILL.
ON THE RESORT CHO A SPONSORING

SCHOOLS ARE FAMILY UP UP.
PUBLIC SCHOOL ENTITIES --
THEIR BOARDS HAVE THE SAME
RESPONSIBILITIES IS LOCALLY
ELECTED SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS TO
UPHOLD THE PUBLIC TRUST CENSURE
UP PUBLIC RESOURCES ARE USED
APPROPRIATELY.
ON THIS INCLUDES ENSURING THAT
BOARD MEMBERS DON'T PROFIT FROM
THEIR POSITIONS.
I BILLIONS OF UP PROP NINETY
EIGHT DOLLARS FLOW TO CHARTER
SCHOOLS --
IT'S ONLY MAKES SENSE THAT OTHER
GOVERNING BOARDS.
I HAVE THE BASIC LEVEL
TRANSPARENCY --

AND WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE FOR THE AMENDMENTS I'M
ON TOP OF PAGE FIVE AND FOR THE
AUTHORS ACCEPTANCE OF THAT
AMENDMENT THANK YOU.
OKAY I FOLKS WHO WANNA A OPPOSE
OR TRAINERS EXPRESSED CONCERNS.
CARILLO HELLER AND A HALF OF THE
CHARTER SCHOOLS DEVELOPMENT
CENTER WE REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE
BILL.
PART OF THE INNOVATION THAT THE
JOHN FROM CTA SPOKE ABOUT IS
WHAT THE CHARTER SCHOOL LAW IS
ABOUT.
AND IT WAS DESIGNED.
TO ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM TO A
PERFORMANCE BASED ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEM AND WE THINK THAT.
BUT SUBJECTING CHARTER SCHOOLS
TO THIS OUR EXISTING PUBLIC
MEETING OPEN RECORDS ACT IS IS
PART OF THE ISSUE THAT WE'RE
TRYING TO CHANGE AND BE MORE
INNOVATIVE AROUND.
AS YOU KNOW CHARTER SCHOOLS HAVE
LOTS OF OVERSIGHT BOTH OF THEIR
AUTHORIZED USERS WITH ACCS WITH
A STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION AND
WE THINK THAT --
THAT THAT WE DON'T NEED THIS
BILL THAT RIGHT NOW THINGS ARE
WORKING WELL AND WE'D LIKE TO
KEEP.
TRYING THE NEW INNOVATIVE AND
PERFORMANCE BASED ACCOUNTABILITY
SYSTEMS --
CARLOS MARKETS ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION WE ARE ON RECORD AS
OPPOSED TO AB TWO SEVEN SIX BUT
AFTER HAVING THE OPPORTUNITY TO
REVIEW THAT COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS --
WE ARE AT THIS MOMENT NEUTRAL
AND ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE
POTENTIAL FOR COMING ONBOARD.
AS A SUPPORTER AT AB --
TWO SEVEN SIX PENDING I'VE
FURTHER NEGOTIATIONS ABOUT.
HOW WE CAN APPLY --
MORE DEFINITIONAL FRAMEWORK TO
MANAGING ENTITIES --
WE'VE BEEN ON RECORD AT THIS
POINT -- FOR
ABOUT FIVE YEARS SUPPORTING.
THE CONCEPT OF APPLYING OPEN
MEETINGS PUBLIC RECORDS THE
POLITICAL REFORM ACT --
TO CHARTER SCHOOLS AND OVER THE
LAST DECADE THIS ISSUE'S BEEN
DEBATED IN THE LEGISLATURE.
AND IT'S ELUDED THE LEGISLATURE.
IN THEM THE INTERIM --
OUR MEMBERS I OUR SCHOOLS HAVE
CAUGHT UP WITH --
OR PRETTY PERHAPS --
A BLIGHT DAVE THAT ADOPTED
PRACTICES --
EITHER AS A FUNCTION OF
AGREEMENTS WITH THEIR AUTHORIZES
OR MOMENT ON A VOLUNTARY BASIS --
THAT -- HAVE
ALLOWED THEM TO COME INTO
COMPLIANCE WITH THE BROWN ACT
AND WITH THE PUBLIC RECORDS ACT --
AND EVEN IN SOME INSTANCES
GOVERNMENT CO.
TEN NINETY WHAT WE SEE AS
PROMISING WITH THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS IS AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT
THAT YES CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND AS SUCH
SHOULD.
FOLLOW ALL OF THE SAME RULES AS
SCHOOL DISTRICTS BUT IN A WAY
THAT IS IN KEEPING WITH THAT
CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT FLEXIBILITY
IN A TAMI.
AND WE THINK THAT THE LOANS AND
LEASES EXCEPTION LANGUAGE --
THAT -- THE
COMMITTEE HAS --
HAS THE AUTHOR ADOPT --
ALLOWS THAT FOR REASONABLE HOT
LOANS EMERGENCY CIRCUMSTANCES
AND AND ALLOWS --
FOR ON A PHILANTHROPIC BASIS
BOARD MEMBERS TO PROVIDE LEASES --
AND RELATED TO MANAGING ENTITIES
AGAIN WE LOOK FORWARD TO FURTHER
CONVERSATION THANK YOU.
MISTER CHAIRMAN THAT SOUNDS A
NEUTRAL SO MAY I BE COUNTED IS
ONE OF THE OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU A TO LUCY WITHOUT
VOICE WERE STRONGLY OPPOSE THE
BILL WHEAT DE AMENDMENTS THAT
ARE BEING PROPOSED WITH REGARD
TO PHILANTHROPY AND CHARITY ARE
INADEQUATE --
WE BELIEVE THERE IS YOU KNOW IN
THE ISSUE OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING
FOR EXAMPLE THE EVEN EVEN IN
HIGH POVERTY COMMUNITIES.
THE PRICE OF REAL ESTATE CAN BE
ESPECIALLY COMMERCIAL REAL
ESTATE RAINY SPACE TO HAVE A
SCHOOL CAN BE EXTREMELY HIGH.
AND BEYOND THE ISSUE OF A THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE A CERTAIN
BOARD MEMBER AND HAVE ANY.
OF RECUSAL OPPORTUNITY --
TO OWNER PROPERTY FOR WHICH
WOULD PREVENT CHARTER SCHOOLS
LOCATED THERE INSTANCES WHERE
THE ID'S TOUCH SCHOOLS ARE BEING
MOVED AROUND BECAUSE OF PROP
THIRTY NINE REQUESTS.
AND IT EFFORTS ARE BEING MADE TO
KEEP THE SCHOOL COMMUNITY INTACT
AND DE THESE ARE ISSUES OF QUOTE
UNQUOTE FISCAL EMERGENCIES SO.
THAT WE WOULD THINK THAT THIS IS
OVERLY RESTRICTIVE IN WHAT'S
BEING PROPOSED HERE IN TERMS OF
A COMPLETELY REASONABLE
OPPORTUNITIES TO STILL
PARTICIPATE ON A BOARD AND BE
INVOLVED IN THIS SPORT A CHARTER
SCHOOL.
BUT NOT HAVING THIS STANDARD OF
THE FISCAL.
IN THE LEGISLATION YEAH AND THE
GLARING OVER AN ENTIRE BODY OF
LAW IN CREATING PENALTIES THAT
ARE SUBJECT TO STATE PRISON FOR
PEOPLE THAT MAKE.
OF THE ERRORS BIT OTHERWISE ARE
DEALT WITH THROUGH THE AUDIT
PROCESS AND THROUGH DID THE THE
AUDIT REVIEW A PANEL OF BY THE
STATE COMPTROLLER IN THIS AYE
SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION.
ARC OR ADEQUATE I WOULD NOTE DAY
JUST LAST WEEK.
V. FICK MATT HAS REPORTED THAT
IN SAN DIEGO THERE WAS A
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL WHERE
THE SCHOOL LEADERS WERE SELF
DEALING THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS.
OF MONEY THIS IS NOT A CHARTER
SCHOOL BUT THREE HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS AND WHAT WAS
PARTICULARLY DISTURBING ABOUT
THAT AS YOU MAY KNOW IS THAT.
THE INTERNAL CONTROLS OF THE
TRADITIONAL SCHOOL DID NOT CATCH
A IT WAS A COURAGEOUS
WHISTLEBLOWING SOUBISE SCHOOL
BOARD MEMBER.
THEIR THEIR OWN ALERTED
AUTHORITIES AND NOW THOSE ARE
EING A BIT WHERE THEY WERE
FOUND TO BE ILLEGAL ACTIVITIES
BY FICK MATT AND BEEN REFERRED
TO THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY'S
OFFICE IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY SO.
THESE THESE KINDS OF ISSUES THAT
ARE BLOWING.
DISCIPLINE INSTRUMENT APPROACH
TO DEAL WITH ISSUES ABOUT ACTORS
AND WE STRONGLY OPPOSE THIS BILL
[inaudible]
CLICK YOU.
I'M ANYONE ELSE WANTS RAISE
CONCERNS.
OKAY MEMBERS AS YOU SEE --
I THINK THAT --
THIS BILL IS SAN.
NOT.
AS CLOSE TO THE FINISH LINE AS
THE DIFFICULT MCCARTY BILL THAT
WE HEARD A LITTLE EARLIER --
BUT I DO CONTINUE TO BELIEVE
THAT I'M AYE AYE I'M
RECOMMENDING A SPORT TODAY.
ARE GIVEN HOW FAR WE'VE
PROCEEDED ON THE NEGOTIATIONS.
I'M IT'S BEEN A CHALLENGING OUT
WINE AND I THINK COMES DE YEAH
ONCE AGAIN TRYING TO TACKLE
ENORMOUS STICKING POINT THAT HAS
EXISTED.
IN OUR EDUCATION COMMUNITY --
FOR QUITE SOMETIME.
AND I YOU KNOW I'M HOPEFUL THAT
IN THE NEXT WEEK WILL BE ABLE --
TO FIGURE OUT AT THE NUMBER OF
THE REMAINING ISSUES THAT THAT
ARE HERE SO IT'S MY
RECOMMENDATION THAT WE MOVE FOR
THIS BILL BUT NOW I'M CERTAINLY
INTERESTED HEARING FROM MEMBERS
AND QUESTIONS THOUGHTS.
I MISTER MEISTER SO YEAH I HAD
SO OF MY VIEWS ARE IN LINE WITH
THE MISTER LUCIUS I'M NOT TO BE
ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL TODAY.
BUT I'M I'M JUST LOOKING FOR
CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THERE WERE
FOUR COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS.
AND AS I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE ONLY
GOING TO ACCEPT A AND AND AND
THE REASON I'M ASKING THAT IS
BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE GAVE
TESTIMONY SEE THERE NOW NEUTRAL%
BUT I DON'T THINK YOU GUYS AGREE
TO ACCEPT THEIR MEMBERS I'M JUST
LOOKING FOR CLARIFICATION
[inaudible]
GOING [inaudible]
OF SENATOR --
THE AGREEMENT OF THE AUTHOR WAS
TO ACCEPT ALL OF THE AMENDMENTS
OKAY ARE THERE'S A TWEAK TO A
WHICH I JUST EACH WEEK TO
SHOWCASE I MEAN OKAY OKAY.
THAT'S GOOD OKAY GREAT.
STILL CAN'T SUPPORT IT BUT THANK
YOU AN ELEVEN THE MYTHIC YOU
MISTER CHAIR I WANT TO THANK THE
AUTHOR FOR ALL OF HIS WORK I
KNOW THAT THIS IS A HARD SUBJECT.
AND I WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT I
UNDERSTAND WHAT IS HAPPENING IN
THE BILL --
THAT CHARTER SCHOOLS WOULD BE
SUBJECT TO A VARIETY OF THE SAME
OPEN MEETING CONFLICT OF
INTEREST AND DISCLOSURE LAWS AS
TRADITIONAL SCHOOLS IS THAT
CORRECT.
I BELIEVE THAT'S CORRECT OKAY I
DON'T SEE HOW THAT COULD BE A
PROBLEM AND I APPRECIATE THAT --
THE ONE GENTLEMAN WHO TESTIFIED
AND OPPOSITION AND I THINK WE'RE
BACK TO SIT DOWN.
YOU KNOW WE HAVE A SCHOOL IN MY
HOME SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE CITY
WHERE I LIVE AND A WOMAN LEFT A
REGULAR PUBLIC SCHOOL OPEN TO
CHARTERS THEN SHE ABSCONDED WITH
THE MONEY AND SHE TOOK THE MONEY
AND SHE ALSO INVESTED.
IN OF THINGS TO HELP HER FAMILY
AND SO SCHOOL TIMIDLY HAD TO BE
SHUT DOWN AND I HAD PEOPLE
COMING TO MY OFFICE.
SO YOU KNOW PARENTS TO THEIR
CHILDREN VERY HAPPY THERE SO I
JUST DON'T SEE THAT THERE'S A
PROBLEM WITH TRANSPARENCY --
DAYLIGHT SOLVES A LOT OF OUR
PROBLEMS SO I THINK YOU FOR YOUR
HARD WORK ON THIS AND LOOK FOR
DISAPPOINTED BILL MOVE THE BILL
WHEN APPROPRIATE.
THEIR THOUGHTS OR COMMENTS
MEMBERS SENATOR JANET.
NGUYEN.
I WAS WANTING TO SUPPORT THE
BELL I WASN'T AWARE OF IT ADD
VOICES STRONG OPPOSITION TO THIS
I HAVE SOME CONCERNS.
ABOUT HOW THIS WILL AFFECT A
SCHOOL IN MY DISTRICT HEALTH
CAREERS ACADEMY WHY BELIEVE THAT
THERE IS AN ARRANGEMENT WITH
REGARD TO THE PROPERTY AND I
CAN'T SPEAK.
WITH ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY BUT I'M
GOING TO WITH HOLD.
ON BOATING EITHER WAY TODAY
INTEL I CAN.
ASCERTAIN.
AND I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW MORE
ABOUT THE PROGRESS ON THAT
SUBJECT.
MATTER OF THIS BILL BEFORE IT
COMES BICU ON THE SENATE
[inaudible]
FULLER THINKING.
CINEMATIC I'D LIKE TO ECHO MY
COLLEAGUE.
THE SAME TO THE PROPERTY ISSUE
IS A BIG DEAL FOR ME ESPECIALLY
MY DISTRICT WE GOT SOME
WONDERFUL SCHOOLS WE GOT SOME
WONDERFUL WONDERFUL PEOPLE.
WHO DO GREAT WORK CARE AND NO
SCHOOLS WOULD NOT EXIST WITHOUT
THEM?
AND SO THAT'S WHY I'M STUCK
RIGHT NOT SO.
I'M GONNA PLAYOFF.
OKAY I AM OTHER THOUGHTS OR
COMMENTS [inaudible]
SENATE PAN.
THANK YOU I'M SORRY WAS --
WHERE IT'S NOT A COMMITTEE SITE
AND HAVE A CHANCE TO HEAR --
AT MAYBE AND I DON'T FEE ANSWER
QUESTION READY BUT CAN YOU
PERHAPS --
ADDRESS ANY PEOPLE BRING UP THIS
PROPERTY ISSUE WHICH ACTUALLY I
CAN PUT SHADOW NOT SPECIFICS ARE
BUT THE DC AWAY. TO ADDRESS THAT
OURS THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I
THINK IS A BEEN ADDRESSED IN THE
CURRENT BILL.
BUT ME TURN TO OF THE WITNESSES
IF I COULD [inaudible]
I'M SO.
SO THIS IS NOT A NEW
CONVERSATION PROBABLY FOR THE
PAST DECADE WHAT WE'VE HEARD
FROM THE OPPOSITION.
IS THAT IN SOME CASES WHEN
THERE'S A A SCHOOL IN FISCAL
DISTRESS THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL
TO HAVE --
ONE OF THE MEMBERS OF THE
GOVERNING BOARD BE ABLE TO DO --
A LEASE OF PROPERTY --
TO THE CHARTER SCHOOL O. WERE IN
GENERAL UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THAT
IDEA WERE UNCOMFORTABLE WITH THE
IDEA THAT ONE GOVERNING BOARD
MEMBER MIGHT OWN THE PROPERTY.
OR FLOAT THE MONEY.
FOR SCHOOL RUNNING WE THINK THAT
IT MAY BE UPSETS THE BALANCE OF
POWER ON THE GOVERNING BOARD OF
ONE PERSON OWNS.
THE SCHOOL OR OR PROVIDES ALL
THE CAPITAL FOR THE SCHOOL BUT
IN THE SPIRIT OF COMPROMISE I
THINK WHAT WE'VE COME TO IS TO
SAY.
WHAT IF WE DID A 0% LOAN AND A
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR LEASE IN TIMES
OF FISCAL DISTRESS WE DON'T WANT
TO NORMALIZE IT WHICH I HEARD
CERTAINLY THE OPPOSITION EXPLAIN --
THAT HE WOULD LIKE MORE THAN
JUST FISCAL EMERGENCY TO BE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO USE THAT BUT WE
DON'T WANT TO MAKE THAT A NORMAL
SITUATION WE WANT TO BE IN AN
EXTREME SITUATION THAT THERE'S
NO PROFIT THAT CAN BE.
ARRANGED BECAUSE THERE HAVE BEEN
INSTANCES --
PRETTY FREQUENTLY WHERE WE HEAR
ABOUT ARE CHARGING --
SCHOOL TWICE OR THREE TIMES
MARKET READ AND POCKETING THE
EXTRA MONEY SO WHAT WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE IS THAT IF YOU DO TO
RELEASE.
THERE'S NO PROFIT IN THE
CONVERSATION IT'S ONE DOLLAR A
YEAR AND IF YOU DO DO ALONE
THAT'S A 0% LOAN SO WE'RE
REMOVING PROFIT FROM THE
EQUATION.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MAY I ADDRESS.
THROUGH THE CHAIR.
THE BILL WE SEE WITH THAT VOICE --
DID [inaudible]
THE MY TESTIMONY WAS JUST
MISSTATED.
I'M THE ISSUE IS.
NOT JUST ON FISCAL EMERGENCIES
PICKED UP OPERATION OF SCHOOLS
WHERE THERE IS A GOVERNING BOARD
MEMBER WHO'S ACTING IN THAT
CHAIR BOWL FASHION.
IN PROVIDING THE THE USE OF A
PROPERTY.
AND IN MANY CASES EVEN IF IT'S
IN PARTICULARLY IN HIGH POVERTY
COMMUNITIES.
WHERE THIS IS THE SAME ISSUE
THAT PEOPLE ARE FACING WITH
AFFORDABLE HOUSING WERE YOU HAVE
A HIGH POVERTY COMMUNITY AND
IT'S HARD TO GET SOMETHING BUILT
OR FIND SPACE AND CRITICALLY
FIND ENOUGH SPACE? TO GET A
OCCUPANCY PERMIT FOR A SCHOOL.
AND SO THEIR TIGHT END AND
CANDIDLY.
IN THAT SAME SITUATION THIS
OFTENTIMES A HOSTILE AUTHORIZED
OR IS JACKING UP THE CHARTER
SCHOOL WITH REGARD TO
PROPOSITION.
THIRTY NINE EQUITABLE USE OF
FACILITIES AND SO IN ORDER TO
MILITARY TENSIONS BETWEEN
HOSTILE AUTHORIZED URANUS IN HIS
SCHOOL THAT PHILANTHROPISTS HAVE
COME IN AND SAID LOOK.
HOW ABOUT WILL GET WILL GIVE YOU
WILL GIVE YOU ACCESS TO THIS
FACILITY IT'S NOT A FISCAL
EMERGENCY WHICH I OTHERWISE I
ALSO TESTIFIED IS NOT DEFINED IN
THE BILL?
BUT THERE INSTANCES WHERE THEY
WANT TO SERVE POOR CHILDREN.
IN THE COMMUNITIES PROVIDE.
RESOURCES IN TERMS OF THE
FACILITY AND AND STILL BE AN
INTERESTED PARTY IN RECUSE
THEMSELVES ON ANYTHING THAT HAS
TO DO WITH THE FACILITIES AT THE
CHARTER SCHOOL WOULD BE INVOLVED
IN BUT STILL BE HELPFUL TO THE
SCHOOL.
OKAY SO JUST TO CLARIFY YOU HAVE
NO ISSUE WITH THE SUPPORT THAT
PEOPLE SHOULD NOT HUSSEIN
ABORTION UPBEAT SELF PROFITING
FROM THE SCHOOL ITSELF IN OTHER
WORDS IN TERMS OF THE INTEREST
RATES AND SO FORTH DEFINITIONS
OF THAT.
BUT YOU'RE NOT WITH RESPECT TO
THE IT YOU KNOW THERE'S THE DEBT
THAT'S THE ISSUE IS PHILANTHROPY.
AND PROVIDING THE RESOURCE SO
IT'S IT'S NOT IDENTICAL BUT
FOLKS LIKE MANY OTHER FIRE
THERE'S NO --
THE MERCY LANGUAGE IS ONLY FOR
THE LOANS NOT SAYS SHARPLY
TOWARDS CHARGE MORE THAN A
DOLLAR YEAR SO THIS IS THIS IS
UNREASONABLE.
CAN YOU TALK ABOUT IT.
YOU SO YOU'RE SAYING THE ONLY
WAY THAT SOMEBODY CAN THEY THEN
THEY HAVE TO OTHERWISE THEY'RE
PROHIBITED IN THERE A FELON
UNDER TEN NINETY SO WEARING THIS
OTHER BODY OF LAW WHICH WE ALSO
OPPOSED.
TO MAKES THIS PERSON A FELON
UNLESS THEY CHARGE ONE DOLLAR
YEAR.
I GUESS THAT'S THE THAT'S THE
LANGUAGE OF THIS AMENDMENT IN
THE LANGUAGE OF THE STATUTE BY
OVERLAYING CARP LAUNCH
GOVERNMENT CO.
TEN NINETY SO TO CLARIFY YOU DO
HAVE AN ISSUE IT SAYING THAT
SOMEONE YES THAT HAVE A SHOULD
NOT PROFIT WELL SINCE WE TO GO.
YOU KNOW THE DAY THAT YOU OF
TOMORROW IF YOU CHARGE SOMETHING
IS A BELOW MARKET RATE YOU'RE
NOT PROFITING.
RIGHT DID YOU CAN YOU THAT YOU
MAY HAVE A FINANCIAL INTEREST
BECAUSE IT HE EVEN IF YOU HAVE A
FINANCIAL INTEREST EVEN IF IT'S
A DOLLAR.
IT'S OF OUR BECAUSE YOU'RE YOU
EVEN IN ADDIS YOU'RE ASKING THE
SCHOOL TO BE A CUSTODIAN OF THE
PROPERTY WHILE YOU'RE THE OWNER.
CAN YOU HOLD THE LIABILITY FOR
ANY MAINTAINING A THE THE
OCCUPANCY REQUIREMENTS AND TO
ACCORDING TO LOCAL MUNICIPAL
REQUIREMENTS FOR FOR FIRE LIFE
SAFETY ISSUES AND WHAT NOT.
SO WITH THAT YOU WHEN YOU'RE
ASSN WHAT WE'RE SUGGESTING IS
THAT THERE ARE REASONABLE THINGS
THAT CAN BE ENTERED INTO IN
TERMS OF AGREEMENTS BETWEEN
PHILANTHROPISTS IN A SCHOOL.
IN AB IN AGAIN IN HIGH POVERTY
COMMUNITIES.
WHERE THERE IS THERE IS NO
WHETHER SPEECH JUST SITTING
AROUND?
I THINK I GOT MISTER MARQUEZ
TYPE OF CARL'S MARKETS WITH THE
COMPANY CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION OUT SO WE ARE
ABSOLUTELY SYMPATHETIC TO THE HE
OF THE CONCERNS THAT THAT MR
LUCIER IS SURFACING.
THE MY AMENDMENTS AREN'T PERFECT
I THINK WHAT --
WHAT WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH
THIS IS HOW DO WE DEAL WITH THIS
ISSUE RELATED --
TO YA PHILANTHROPIC LOANS AND
AND LEASES --
THAT ALSO A YOU KNOW PULL
ULTIMATELY UNDER THE CONSTRUCT
OF THESE AMENDMENTS ABOUT WOULD
REQUIRE THAT THE BOARD MEMBER
ACTUALLY TAKE A LOS --
AND AND THAT'S ABSOLUTELY
SOMETHING THAT WE'VE STRUGGLED
WITH BUT IF THE IF.
IF THE COMMITTEE --
AND THE AUTHOR HAVE MADE CLEAR
LUCK WE WE ACTUALLY THINK THERE
SHOULD IS MORE EXCEPTIONS FOR
ABOUT FOUR BUT EXCLUSIVELY FOR
PHILANTHROPY --
THEN THAT'S SOMETHING THAT WE
BELIEVE JOB YOU KNOW ULTIMATELY
IN PHILANTHROPIC CASES IS IN
FACT WORKABLE.
AND WHAT I JUST WANNA BE CLEAR
ABOUT WHAT THE AMENDMENT DOES SO
IT IT ALLOWS.
FOR BOARD MEMBERS WHO ARE
INTERESTED ATTITUDE PER CUES
THEMSELVES AND NOT UNDULY
INFLUENCED THE BOARD --
THE LEAST HAS TO BE APPROVED A
PUBLIC NOTICE MEETING.
AND WHAT IT REQUIRES IS THAT THE
LEAST BE NO MORE THAN A DOLLAR A
YEAR BUT ALSO THAT THE THAT IF
THE LEASE IS VIEWED AS THE IRS.
THAT AT LEAST --
THE BOARD MEMBER CAN CHARGE UP
TO THE FEDERAL IMPUTED INTEREST
RATE UNDER WHICH THE IRS WOULD
SEE THIS AS A LOAN AND
POTENTIALLY CHARTER PENALTY.
SO IT'S NOT JUST ONE DOLLAR A
YEAR NOW THERE'S NOT REALLY A
PRECEDENT FOR IMPUTED INTEREST
ON LEASES SO WERE IT'S A LITTLE
BIT OF A GRAY AREA.
BUT WERE WERE HOPEFUL THAT WE'RE
WILLING TO TAKE THE PLUNGE
BECAUSE IT GETS IS FURTHER ALONG --
IN IN DEALING WITH THIS ISSUE
ONCE AND FOR ALL BUT I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE WOULD MEAN
CLARIFIED THIS MANAGING ENTITIES
ISSUE IS.
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT BECAUSE
OF THE FACILITIES ISSUES THAT MR
LUCIER HAS RAISED SO A LOT OF
THESE MANAGING ENTITIES ARE.
FOUNDATIONS THEY MIGHT BE
ENGAGED IN ACTIVITIES THAT --
ARE DIRECTLY RELATED TO THE
OPERATION OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL
BUY YOU KNOW PERHAPS ARE I'M
SOCIAL SERVICES.
AYE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS OR
HOLDING PATENT HOLDING NONPROFIT
FOR REAL ESTATE.
AND SO THE QUESTIONS WILL BE
OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS IN OUR
NEGOTIATIONS.
WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF
COMPLIANCE AND SCRUTINY RELATED
TO GOVERNMENT HOTEL NINETY
PUBLIC RECORDS BROWN ACT AND
OPEN MEETINGS ON THOSE HIGHER
LEVEL BOARDS --
AND THAT'S THE QUESTION THAT WE
ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO RESOLVING
BUT OUR SUPPORT HINGES ON
RESOLVING THAT QUESTION WITH
PRECISION.
AND IN A WAY THAT DOESN'T HARM
SOME OF THESERELATED
ORGANIZATIONS THAT MIGHT
ACTUALLY IMPACT --
THAT'S HERS WAS ABILITY TO
PROCURE.
MISTER CHAIRMAN THE FROM THE
ISSUES THAT WE HAVE. TO ANY
AMBIGUITY THAT WAS JUST
DISCUSSED IT NOW HAS A THE
HAMMER OF A JUDGMENT OF TEN
NINETY AND WE WOULD STRONGLY
URGE.
THE COMMITTEE TO TAKE IT A
POSTURE THAT YOU WERE TRYING TO
MOVE PREVIOUSLY BUT THEN IT TO
INCORPORATE ALL THE CHANGES
ENTIRELY IN EDUCATION CODE.
AND PROVIDE RECALL YOU PROPOSE
THAT AS WE HOPE IT'S A STRONG
PENALTIES.
DID DETER UNAMBIGUOUS IN THE
EDUCATION CODE INSTEAD OF
WEARING A WHOLE NOTHER BODY OF
LAW ON TOP.
THE ALL THE OTHER REQUIREMENTS
FOR PUBLIC RECORDS AND
TRANSPARENCY ALL THAT WERE FINE
WITH.
BUT THE THIS THIS IS THIS IS THE
CRUX OF IT AND FOR EVERY
SPECIFIC THING TO THE RIGHT
ACCOUNTING EDUCATION CODE.
AND THEN CREATE A STRONG PENALTY
FOR BAD ACTORS [inaudible]
WELL.
JERRY SO WHY I APPRECIATE THE
DISCUSSION I I WOULD JUST SAY
FIRST OF ALL.
I ACTUALLY WANTED THANK --
RESPONSE THE BILL CHARTER
SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION FOR TRYING
TO HELP PERCENT THIS IS BETTER
ISSUE WE'VE BEEN STRUGGLING WITH
FOR A LONG TIME I THINK SENATOR
MEDINA FOR TAKING THE SIDE --
I THINK THAT THE SPELL WHILE
STILL NEEDS FURTHER WORK --
I THINK SOME* FRANK AND
APPRECIATE THE SOUNDS LIKE THE
PARTIES ARE INTERESTED IN TRYING
TO WORK THIS OUT WE'VE HAD THIS
GAP.
IN OUR CODE TO TO ATTRACT
TRUSTEES CONFLICT OF INTEREST
ISSUES AND NOW I'VE HEARD FROM
BOTH SIDES.
IT'S AGASSI'S MARTIN TWO SIDES
NOW WE HOPE THAT --
ALWAYS ARE YEAH THAT YOU KNOW
THAT YOU KNOW WHAT PEOPLE AND I
I THINK THAT FUNDAMENTALLY NOW
WE GOT WORK OUT EXACTLY HOW THE
DETAILS OF WORK IN THE LAW BUT
FUNDAMENTALLY I THINK WE
GENERALLY AGREE.
I BELIEVE THAT WE DON'T WANT A
SITUATION WHERE YOU HAVE SOMEONE
WHO'S OPENING S. CUCKOO BECAUSE
THIS INVOLVES PUBLIC MONEY.
THAT THERE IS AND THAT YOU KNOW
THIS CASE SCHOOL BECAUSE WHEN IT
CAME TO TALK ABOUT SCHOOLS THAT
SOMEONE OPENS A SCHOOL BUT THEN
IS IN SOME WAY SELF PROFITING
FROM IT --
WE ALSO WANT TO CREATE
OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO BE
ABLE TO CONTRIBUTE TO THE SCHOOL
AND VARIOUS WAYS --
BUT IN A WAY THAT SO AS SO I I I
THINK THIS BILL --
WHILE STILL NEEDS FOR THE WORK-IS AN IMPORTANT STEP FORWARD I
WANT TO VOTE FOR I'M GONNA
MOTION FOR THE BILL AND VOTE FOR
THE BILL SO WE CAN CONTINUE THIS
CONVERSATION.
AND I THINK THAT I APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT THE ARTIES ARE
COMING TOGETHER IN A WAY THAT
CERTAINLY I THINK WE MADE MORE
PROGRESS WITH THIS BILL THE
NIGHT THEN I'VE BEEN ON THIS
COMMITTEE FOR NOW TO SMITE
FOURTH YEAR.
THAT WE'VE HAD BEFORE AND I
THINK AND THIS IS A VERY OF WHAT
WE NEED TO RESOLVE BECAUSE RIGHT
NOW IN THE ABSENCE OF ANY.
YOU KNOW WE ARE HAVING
SITUATIONS WHERE UNFORTUNATELY
WHILE NOT MUSCLY FREQUENT --
WE HAVE SITUATIONS WHERE UP
PEOPLE LEARNED VIRTUALLY TAKING
ADVANTAGE IS CAPTAIN AND CODE SO.
SO WITH THAT I DON'T THINK IN
THIS CHAIR FOR LET ME ASK
QUESTIONS.
YOU'RE NOT NAY I APPRECIATE THE
DISCUSSION I MEAN IT'S ON THIS
IS TRICKY THAT THIS HAS TAKEN US
A LONG TIME TO EVEN GET THIS FAR
AND I'M.
YOU KNOW I I I THINK GUYS WHO
ARE ALSO IN A BIT OF A DIALOGUE
WITH THE JUDICIARY COMMITTEE --
THERE WAS A BILL THAT I HAD
EARLIER THIS --
THIS YEAR THAT NOW I'M.
THAT RELATED TO THE LISA AND ON
A LARGE NUMBER OF THESE TOPICS
AND DONE.
THAT'S ALSO INFORMING SOME OF
THIS DISCUSSION AS WELL.
HI SO.
OTHER QUESTIONS THOUGHTS FROM
THE MEMBERS.

AYE IF YOU LOOK CLOSE I'VE JUST
JUST TO THANK AGAIN THE CHAIR
AND STAFF FOR ALL THE HARD WORK
AND FOR THE PARTIES FOR COMING
TOGETHER TO WORK ON WHAT SEEMS
TO ME VERY COMPLICATED --
LA SO YOU THINK YOU ALL AND AND
I AND I JUST IN A BIT OF GOOD
THAT I WILL SAY THIS IS.
AT ANY BILL THAT I AM
RECOMMENDING AND I SUPPORT.
OUR THIS WEEK THIS IS THE LEAST
LANDED AND WE WE STILL HAVE SOME
STUFF TO WORK OUT AND I'M YOU

THIS DOUBLE REFERRED --
THERE'S A TIME PRESSURE THEIR
EYES SO THERE'S STILL SOME
THERE'S STILL WORK TO BE DONE
BUT I I DO.
SINCE THE WERE GETTING EVER
CLOSER TO RESOLVING IN IT AND
YOU KNOW I THINK A A REALLY
PROBLEMATIC AND SERIES OF
AMBIGUITIES IN THE LAW THAT THAT
IT'S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO
ADDRESS.

THE OTHER BILLS NINA --
LET ME BEGIN BY ACCEPTING THE
AMENDMENTS IS NOT TAKING THE
BAIT OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS --
THE PURPOSE OF AB SEVEN ONE SIX
IS TO UPDATE STATE LAW AND ALIGN
IT WITH FEDERAL LAW AS IT
RELATES TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF
SINGLE PLANS. FOR STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT THESE PLANS GIVE
SCHOOLS THE FLEXIBILITY TO
COORDINATE VARIOUS STATE AND
FEDERAL CATEGORICAL PROGRAM
FUNDS INTO A SINGLE PLAN TO
IMPROVE STUDENT OUTCOMES.
HOWEVER THE LAW GOVERNING THESE
PLANTS HAS NOT BEEN UPDATED
SINCE THE IGNAT ENACTMENT OF A
LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA
THERE.
FOR THE LAW STILL CONTAINS
REFERENCE TO CATEGORICAL
PROGRAMS THAT NO LONGER EXIST.
AND IS OUT OF SYNC WITH OUR
CURRENT SYSTEM OF ACCOUNTABILITY
AND CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT.
THIS BILL UPDATES AND ALIGN
SINGLE PLANS FOR STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT.
BY DOING THE FOLLOWING.
NUMBER ONE IT ELIMINATES THE
OBSOLETE REQUIREMENTS AND
UPDATES OTHER PROVISIONS TO
ADDRESS CURRENT CATACOMB
CATEGORICAL PROGRAM AND SCHOOL
SITE COUNCIL REQUIREMENTS. TO IT
ALLOWS SCHOOLS THAT HAVE BEEN
IDENTIFIED FOR TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE UNDER THE FEDERAL
EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS AXED YOU
SINGLE PLAN. TO USE A SINGLE
PLAN ALL TO MEET FEDERAL
PLANNING REQUIREMENTS. THREE AND
A LINE'S FEDERAL PLANNING
REFORMS TO THE LOCAL CONTROL
ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN TO REDUCE
DUPLICATIVE PLANNING.
AND FOR IT ALLOWS SMALL AND
RURAL SCHOOLS TO OPERATE A
SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL THAT IS
EITHER SHARED WITH OTHER SCHOOLS.
OR REDUCED IN SIZE --
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
AND THEY DO HAVE --
COUPLE IT THIS IS HERE TODAY
STRUCTURE.

COHESIVE DISTRICT LEVEL PLAN

O'DONNELL A. B. SEVEN SIXTEEN
THE LINES FEDERAL SCHOOL
PLANNING REQUIREMENTS TO BE OF
THE SCHOOL PLAN FOR STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT WHICH WE CALL SIP
SAKE -- WITH
THE LOCAL CONTROL AND
ACCOUNTABILITY PLAN EL CAP.
OVER THE DECADES ON DATA
COLLECTION AND REPORTING
ACTIVITIES HAVE SIGNIFICANTLY
EXPANDED --
WITH LIMITED EFFORTS MADE AT THE
STATE LEVEL TO ALIGN AND
CONSOLIDATE DUPLICATIVE
REPORTING REQUIREMENTS AS LAWS
HAVE BEEN PASSED AT THE STATE
AND FEDERAL LEVEL.
AB SEVEN SIXTEEN IS A STEP IN
THE RIGHT BETTER ALIGNING STATE
AND LOCAL PROP SAYS.
WITH THE FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS
WITH THE GOAL OF MOVING TOWARDS
GREATER ALIGNMENT TO IMPROVE
SCHOOL DISTRICT LEVEL OPERATIONS
AND MAXIMIZE RESOURCES OF BETTER
SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS.
ACSA IS PARTICULARLY PLEASED
THAT THE LEGISLATION WILL
AUTHORIZE SINGLE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO USE.
THE EL CAP TO SERVE AS THEIR
SIMPSON PROVIDED THE EL CAP
MEETS FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS OF
COURSE THIS PROVISION WILL BE
BENEFICIAL PARTICULARLY FOR
SMALL AND RURAL DISTRICTS.
THAT HAVE A SINGLE SCHOOL SITE
AND THE HAVE LIMITED STAFF
CAPACITY SUCH AS MY DISTRICT TO
COMPLETE SEPARATE REPORTS THAT
HAVE SIMILAR INFORMATION.
IT IS RULY A CHALLENGE FOR
SMALLER DISTRICTS SUCH AS
PARAMOUNT TO ENSURE THAT THE
SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT IS MEANINGFUL --
IT VERSUS I JUST A CHECKLIST
OFFER COMPLIANCE OP PURPOSES WE
ALSO APPRECIATE THAT A. B. SEVEN

TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE ON THAT THE
EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT. TO
USE A STEPS OUT TO MEET FEDERAL

REQUIRING A SEPARATE IMPROVEMENT

EXPERIENCES --
AS CHIEF ACADEMIC OFFICER IN

CLASSIFIED STAFF THROUGH THE
WORK OF A LOCAL SCHOOL SITE
COUNCILS THESE EDUCATIONAL
PARTNERS WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
THE OPPORTUNITY TO COLLABORATE
WITH SCHOOL PRINCIPALS.
AND DISTRICT LEADERSHIP TO
DEVELOP AND REVISED A SIMPSONS
THAT ARE MORE MEANINGFUL AND
MORE CLOSELY ALIGNED WITH THE
DISTRICT CELL COUNT.
THIS BILL IF IT PASSES WOULD
RESULT IN GREATER ALIGNMENT
BETWEEN REPORTS WITH THE GOAL OF
IMPROVING OUR INSTRUCTIONAL
PRACTICE AND OUR DIRECT SERVICES
TO OUR STUDENTS.
THANK YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO

FEDERATION OF TEACHERS AND
SUPPORT.
OKAY ARGUING WITH SERIOUS
CONCERNS ON THE BILL OPPOSITION.
GOOD MORNING --
WHISKEY AND WITH PUBLIC
ADVOCATES WE HAD INITIALLY
EXPRESSED OPPOSITION --
AND AFTER TALKING WITH A I'M
MISTER PRATT EMISSIVE BANG ON WE
FELT THAT OUR CONCERNS WERE
ADDRESSED SO WE APPRECIATE THAT
VERY VERY MUCH WE WERE CONCERNED
ABOUT A BOOK.
THAT THERE NEEDED TO BE
CLARIFICATION AROUND THE INTENT.
ALL OF THE LANGUAGE.
THIS BILL IS A A GOTTEN AMEND
AND INTERFAX PARENTS ON SCHOOLS
LIKE COUNCIL'S PARENTS ON
ENGLISH LEARNER ADVISORY
COMMITTEES.
AND PARENTS IN DISTRICT LEVEL
ADVISORY COMMITTEES.
AND SO IT WAS VERY CHALLENGING
TO TRY TO FIGURE OUT.
ALL ALL OF THIS PUT TOGETHER AND
THE IMPACT ON ON PARENTS
ESPECIALLY WHO AREN'T.
AREN'T IN THIS PROCESS AND AND
THAT'S THE REASON I APPRECIATE
THE COMMITMENT BY STAFF TO
CONTINUE WORKING. TO CLARIFY THE
INTENT ON THIS SO THAT WHEN THIS
NEW LAW IS A IS A YOU KNOW
TROTTED OUT BY SCHOOLS AND
DISTRICTS TO SAY OVER DOING IT
THIS WAY NOW.
THAT THERE ISN'T AN
UNDERSTANDING THAT THE RIGHTS OF
PARENTS ARE CHANGED.
BOB AND THEY'RE ALREADY FEELING
LIKE WITH EL CAP.
ON AND A NEW PROCESS SING ENOUGH
SO I APPRECIATE THE ARE
COMMITMENT BY AUTHOR STAFF AND
OTHER DEPARTMENT TO CONTINUE
WORKING ON THIS.
CLARIFY AND I APPRECIATE --
THE AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
ADDRESSED BY OTHER COMMITTEE
STAFF.
ALSO WE WITHDRAW OUR OPPOSITION
AT THIS POINT THANK YOU IF YOU.
INCLUDE BUSINESS SOLUTION.
MISTER CHAIRMAN BILL YOU SEE IT
WITH A VOICE.
AND WE TOO HAD A INITIAL
OPPOSITION UP FOR VARIOUS
REASONS WE WE POINTED OUT OF
BOTH TECHNICAL CONCERNS.
IN THE DRAFTING OF THE BILL
REGIONALLY --
AS A RELATED TO WHETHER OR NOT
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PARENTS WERE.
FOUND COMPARABLY EQUIPPED IT
UNDER LAW TO IT BE SITTING ON
SUIT SCHOOL SITE COUNCILS AND
AND PARTICIPATING PLANNING A
SECULAR SCHOOL PARENTS AND WE DO
APPRECIATE THAT MEMORIES TAKEN.
IN THE WEST WE ALSO HAD A MUCH
HIGHER LEVEL CONCERNED THAT WE
RAISED IN AND CONTINUE.
TO ON ALL THE AND ALIGN
OURSELVES WITH SOME OF THE
COMMENTS WERE DISMAYED TO NOT TO
NOT BE REDUNDANT.
BUT IN TERMS OF THE THE PURPOSE
OF THIS WHOLE ACTIVITY.
TO DATE HAS BEEN SUBSTANTIALLY
CHANGE NOT ONLY FROM THE GUT AND
AMEND A WEEK AND A HALF AGO TO
THE ESSENTIALLY THE BILL'S BEEN
GOTTEN AMENDED AGAIN WITH DICK
THE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED
AMENDMENTS.
AND THAT'S NOT TO SAY THAT WE
DISPUTE WHAT THE THE AUTHOR'S
INTENT IS INTERN IN THE SPONSORS
IN TERMS OF HOW TO PROCEED BUT
WE WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT SOME
SPECIFIC THINGS.
THAT AND SUBSTANTIALLY CHANGE.
REVERSING THE ORDER OF PLANNING
IN TERMS OF WHAT WE ARE IT IS
THE GENESIS OF PLANNING COMING
FROM THIS PARENTS AND THE
TEACHERS AT THE SCHOOL SITE
MOVING UP TO THE EL CAP IN
INFORMING THE EL CAP.
IN IN TERMS OF THEN ULTIMATELY
HOW THE HOW BUDGETING IN THE L.
CAPTAIN YOU KNOW EL CAP
AMENDMENTS ARE CANDLE GOING
FORWARD OR IS IT.
THAT DONE DOC THE OTHER WAY I
WOULD I WOULD URGE YOU TO
CONSIDER SOME ADDITIONAL
TECHNICAL REVIEW OF THIS AS IT
MOVES FORWARD BECAUSE IT LOOKS
LIKE THERE'S A CIRCULAR ARGUMENT
HERE AND IT'S AROUND.
NOTABLE THE IN TERMS OF THE
ACTION OF THE LEGISLATURE
REQUIRED INFORMATION THAT'S
CURRENTLY AVAILABLE TO US.
PRINCIPLES.
TEACHERS UNIONS AND TEACHERS AT
THE SCHOOL SITE AND PARENTS ARE
OMITTED HIDDEN IN ONE FELL SWOOP
IN THE EARLIER VERSION OF THE
GOT DEMAND IN THAT'S NOT
RESTORED HERE.
AND DIE IS THE BASIS IAN FEDERAL
ON END UNDER DID NOTION OF THE
REQUIRED STAKEHOLDER
PARTICIPATION UNDER EL CAP TO
HELP PEOPLE WORKING TOGETHER IN
HARMONY TO STAR OWNING THE
DECISIONS.
THAT THE AT THE LOWEST LEVEL AND
AND LOOKING AT HOW TO REACH THE
STATE.
PARTIES [inaudible]
PIN [inaudible]
THE I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LOOK AT
THE FACT THAT ON THE PAGE SIX
BULLETS SIX ON THE ANALYSIS.
SOUNDS GOOD BUT IT'S NOT IN THE
BILL --
THERE ARE OTHER THINGS THAT
SOUND GOOD BUT YOU'RE VOTING ON
THE TEXT OF THE BILL AS AMENDED --
AND THESE THINGS ARE ARE SOME OF
WHICH ARE NOT IN THE BILL ALSO A
DEER ARE.
CONFLICTING PROVISIONS IS IT
RIGHT THAT RELATES TO STATE
WAIVERS UNDER THREE THREE OO
FIVE OO IN SECTION ONE OF THE
BILL VERSES THE SPECIFIC WAIVER
AND AS YOU KNOW IN HARMONIZING
STATUTES SPECIFIC WAIVERS TRUMP
GENERAL WAIVERS.
AND WHERE AND LOCAL EDUCATION
AGENCIES ARE DEFINED IN THE
LEGISLATION IN THE PARTY
REFERENCES APART THIRTY SIX
THIRTY SEVEN AND THIRTY EIGHT OF
THE CODE.
AT A INCLUDING CHARTER SCHOOLS
THEY ARE EXEMPT FROM A BEING
NAMED IN A PARALLEL CONSTRUCTION
IN THIRTY THREE OH FIVE UP.
AND THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S A IT'S
AN INTENTIONAL.
A CONSTRUCT IN TERMS OF DOING
WHATEVER POLICY SO WE WENT WE IN
TERMS OF BILL IMPRINT WE WERE
OPPOSED IN TERMS OF THE
RECOMMENDED AMENDMENTS WERE
SUGGESTING THAT THEIR CIRCULAR
ARGUMENTS.
AND THERE'S SOME TECHNICAL
ISSUES THAT WE HAVE A GREAT
CONCERN WITH REGARDING ACADEMIC
ACHIEVEMENT AS A GOAL FOR
PLANNING PURPOSES AND AS WELL AS
SHARING OF INFORMATION.
ABOUT REQUIRED MANDATED SHARING
INFORMATION BY --
THE GOVERNING BOARD TO THE
SCHOOL PRINCIPAL TEACHERS AND
PARENTS SO THAT THEY HAVE
INFORMATION BY WHICH THE INTER
STAND WITH THE ALLOCATIONS WOULD
BE AT THE SCHOOL SITE LEVEL SO
THAT THEY CAN DO AUTHENTIC
PLANNING.
OTHERWISE WILL RETURN TO WHAT
SOUNDS FROM THE SOVIET AIR IN
THE NINETEEN FIFTIES AND WHEN I
WAS EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR THE
SEAPORT OF EDUCATION WE
CHALLENGED THE SIXTY FIVE
THOUSAND OF THE ECHO PLANS.
WE HAD THE DEPARTMENT BRING
DOLLIES OF ARCHIVE BOXES FOR TO
THE STATE BOARD AND WE
DEMONSTRATED THAT ALL THESE
PLANS THAT WERE SUBMITTED WITH
AN EXCEL SPREADSHEET
RECOMMENDING APPROVAL ON CONSENT.
HAD NOT EVEN HAD THE POSTAL
OFFICE TAPE.
TAKEN OFF.
AND THEY WERE SUBMIT IT IN IT
WAS FEEDING THE MONSTER IN
SACRAMENTO A BUNCH OF PLANS BUT
NOT NOTHING GETTING DONE AND NOW
THERE'S IS THE NOTION THAT A
DELEGATION OF AUTHORITY BY THE
STATE LEGISLATURE. TO HAVE A
BLANK CHECK FOR THE
SUPERINTENDING THE DEPARTMENT TO
COME UP WITH THE MONITORING
PROCESS TO DETERMINE WHETHER OR
NOT THESE PLANS ARE ADEQUATE OR
NOT SO THIS IS PUT THIS IS
POTENTIALLY THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
BILL POSTAL CFF. TO DISCUSS FROM
THE LOWEST LEVEL AT THE SCHOOL
SITE COUNCIL WITH PARENTS AND
TEACHERS WORKING TOGETHER TO TRY
AND GET IT DONE FOR KIDS IN THE
ROLE OF THIS THE CALIFORNIA PART
OF EDUCATION.
AND IT AND IT'S HAPPENING IN THE
SECOND YEAR TO YEAR SESSION IN
THE LAST TEN DAYS OF ONE LAST
POLICY COMMITTEES.
AND WE BUT WE BELIEVE THAT THERE
ARE VERY SIGNIFICANT ISSUES WE
THINK THAT THE AUTHOR HAS A LOT
OF GOOD INTENT HERE.
BUT WE WE HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS
P. COME THROUGH VERY CAREFULLY --
AS IF AND IF I WERE TO MOVE
FORWARD IN THE IN THE SIXTEEN
THE CURRENT VERSION WE THINK
THAT IT'S INADEQUATE NOT
TRANSPARENT IT IN AND
POTENTIALLY REDUNDANT IN A WAY
THAT TAKES US BACKWARD.
INSTEAD OF FORWARD THANK YOU.
OKAY THANK YOU ESOS HERE --
THE FOLKS WHO WANT TO RAISE
CONCERNS.
MARTHA EXCUSE ME MARTHA CERRITOS
IDEAS REPRESENTING COP IN
CALIFORNIA TOGETHER WE DON'T
HAVE AN OFFICIAL POSITION ON THE
BILL YET BECAUSE WE ARE STILL.
OUR NEGOTIATING LANGUAGE WITH
CTE STAFF AND WITH.
THE AUTHOR STAFF AROUND THE
ISSUE OF THE ROLE OF THE D.
LACKS AND E. LACKS AND THE
REVIEW.
AND DIE ADVISING OF THE CON.
THERE'S STILL SOME ISSUE WITH
THE WAY IT'S WORDED CURRENTLY
AND WE'RE WORKING WITH THE STAFF
ON THIS SO THANK YOU
[inaudible]
Q..
YES SIR DID YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
CARICATURE DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION --
I DO I WOULD JUST LIKE TO
CLARIFY BECAUSE IT THE THE
GOTTEN A MAN WAS.
A PHRASE THAT WAS USED TO IT
THREE TIMES --
THE SCHOOL PLANNING LAW ON THE
ADD IN THE AD CODE IT'S BEEN
AROUND FOR A NUMBER OF YEARS
JUST THE FACT THAT IT'S CALLED
THE SINGLE PLAN FOR STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT.
TELLS YOU THAT IT'S BEEN AROUND
A LONG TIME BECAUSE SINGLE
REFERS TO MULTIPLE STATE
CATEGORICAL PROGRAMS BEING
BROUGHT TOGETHER IN A SINGLE
PLAN.
THEN THERE WAS A SEPARATE
EDUCATION CODE NUMBER OF YEARS
AGO THAT WAS PUT INTO PLACE
CALLED THE SCHOOL BASED
COORDINATED PROGRAM AGAIN WITH
THE PURPOSE OF COORDINATING
DIFFERENT STATE PROGRAMS ON THE
REQUIREMENTS OF THOSE PROGRAMS.
THEN THERE WAS A THIRD EDUCATION
CODE THAT REFERRED TO SCHOOL
SITE COUNCILS SO WHEN THE PHRASE
GOTTEN AMEND IS USE WHAT REALLY
HAS HAPPENED IS CURRENT LAW HAS
BEEN TAKEN AND PUT TOGETHER IN
ONE PLACE SO IT'S MORE
UNDERSTANDABLE FOR SCHOOLS AND
DISTRICTS TO UNDERSTAND.
EXACTLY WHAT THE REQUIREMENTS
ARE FOR A SCHOOL FOR A SCHOOL
SITE COUNCIL IMPORTED DISTRICT.
SO THE VOTE FROM THE VERY
BEGINNING THAT NOTHING HAS
CHANGED IN TERMS OF THAT THE
COLLABORATION DEAD THAT IS
EXPECTED --
OF SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS IS THEY
PUT TOGETHER EITHER THEIR
DISTRICT PLAN THROUGH THE EL CAP
OR THEIR LOCAL CHOOL PLAN WITH
THE SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL.
OKAY.
ARE THANK YOU FOR THAT
CLARIFICATION AND I AM ALSO
RECOMMENDING SUPPORT FOR THIS
AND THOUGH I KNOW THAT FOR

OPPONENTS AND SOME OF THE
CONCERNS HAVE BEEN RAISED AND I
I CERTAINLY DO WELCOME MISTER

ISSUES THAT WERE RAISED IN HIS
TESTIMONY. TO DO ONE OF THEM
SPEAK LITTLE TO THAT YEAH IT
DOES MISTER CHAIR YES --
THAT WE WERE COMMITTED TO
WORKING WITH ANY ANY OPPOSITION

CERTAINLY WILL LOOK INTO IT --
BUT IF WE GET THOSE WHO GET
THOSE CONCERNS DOWN ON PAPER AND
GET HIM OVER TO THE COMMITTEE
THAT WILL BE WILLING TO HAVE
DISCUSSIONS [inaudible]
ABSOLUTELY [inaudible]
OKAY -- OKAY
SO WHAT WITHOUT WITHOUT ANY AYE

THIS IS WELL AND I AND I I JUST.

THAT'S FINE WITH ME.
SPECIAL EDUCATION FUNDING.
YOU MAY PROCEED.
BUT THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AB THIRTY ONE THIRTY SIX
PROVIDES MUCH NEEDED INVESTMENTS
AND OUR SPECIAL EDUCATION SYSTEM
BY EQUALIZING FUNDING RATES.
SUPPORTING SPECIAL EDUCATION
PRESCHOOL SERVICES AND PROVIDING
FUNDING FOR HIGH COST PLACEMENTS.
OUR STUDENTS WITH EXCEPTIONAL
NEEDS DESERVE A HIGH QUALITY
EDUCATION WHICH ALLOWS TO REACH
THEIR FULL POTENTIAL.
BUT OUR CURRENT SPECIAL
EDUCATION FUNDING SYSTEM
PRESENTS BARRIERS.
WHERE THERE SHOULD BE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR DECADES
CALIFORNIA SPECIAL EDUCATION
FUNDING RATES HAVE VERY
CONSIDERABLY?
FROM FOR AN EIGHTY DOLLARS.TO
NINE HUNDRED THIRTY DOLLARS PER
PUPIL FOR NO LOGICAL REASON.
IN FACT THE DIFFERENCES IN
FUNDING DATE TO AN INFORMAL
SURVEY OF EXPENDITURES CONDUCTED.
IN.
NINETEEN SEVENTY NINE SCHOOLS
HAVEBEEN LIVING WITH THESE
INEQUITIES FOR NEARLY FORTY
YEARS AND ADDRESSING THEM IS IS
A SIMPLE MATTER OF FAIRNESS FOR
OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR STUDENTS.
FUNDING FOR SPECIAL EDUCATION
PRESCHOOL ALSO PRESENTS A
BARRIER WHERE THERE SHOULD BE
OPPORTUNITY AT A CRITICAL TIME
IN CHILDREN'S LIVES.
CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS ARE REQUIRED
TO WRITE A FREE APPROPRIATE
PUBLIC EDUCATION TO PRE SCHOOL
AGE CHILDREN.
BUT IN SPITE OF THIS MANDATE NO
STATE FUNDING IS PROVIDED FOR
SPECIAL EDUCATION PRESCHOOL
PROGRAMS.
THIS IS SHORT SIGHTED BECAUSE
EARLY INTERVENTION PROGRAMS FOR
PRESCHOOLERS ARE AN EXCELLENT
INVESTMENT.
FINALLY THE STATE PROVIDES NO
ASSISTANT TO SCHOOL DISTRICT TO
SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS WITH MORE
SIGNIFICANT DISABILITIES.
WHEN OUR CURRENT SPECIAL
EDUCATION FINANCE SYSTEM WAS
ESTABLISH THE STATE PROVIDED
SUCH SUPPORT BUT WAS ELIMINATED
DURING THE RECESSION?
ALL THE ADJUSTMENTS IN THIS BILL
ARE COMMON SENSE INVESTMENTS IN
FAIRNESS AND EQUALITY FOR OUR
STUDENTS WITH SPECIAL NEEDS.
WITH ME TODAY IN SUPPORT I HAVE
MERRY SAMPLES ASSISTANT
SUPERINTENDENT OF IN TERROR
COUNTY SALPA --
SHE IF IT SCHOOLS SUBCOMMITTEE
CHAIR OF THE CALIFORNIA
STATEWIDE SPECIAL EDUCATION TASK
FORCE AS WELL.
AND DAVID TOSSED AN ASSOCIATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE EL DORADO
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND
CHAIR OF THE COALITION FOR
ADEQUATE FUNDING FOR SPECIAL
EDUCATION [inaudible]
FUTURE MAGNIFICENT.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
MEMBRS OF THE COMMITTEE THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK
WITH YOU AND MY NAME IS DAVID
TOSSED HIM --
THING I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT IN
ADDITION TO THE EVERY OTHER DAY
IN CALIFORNIA USED TO BEING
FACED WITH INCREASING COSTS
WHILE THE FUNDING HAS REMAINED
THE SAME.
AND IF YOU THINK BACK TWENTY
YEARS AGO GOOGLE WAS NOT IN
EXISTENCE AND HOW MUCH THE WORLD
HAS CHANGED SINCE THAT POINT.
WHILE OUR FUNDING RATES HAVE
MAINTAINED RELATIVELY THE SAME.
AND WE WILL CONTINUE.
TO FACE INCREASED COSTS FOR
SPECIAL EDUCATION AND IT'S
COMPOUNDED BECAUSE OF HIM
EQUITIES AND FUNDING I'M FOR
SPECIAL EDUCATION THROUGHOUT THE
STATE.
AND WHILE THE THERE IS AN
EQUITABLE FUNDING EVERY LA A HAS
THE SAME RESPONSIBILITIES TO
MEET THE FEDERAL AND STATE
MANDATES AND MOST IMPORTANTLY.
TO INSURE THAT OUR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES ARE PROVIDED HIS
BASIC CIVIL RIGHTS.
ADDITIONALLY THE STATE DOESN'T
PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
RELATED TO EARLY INTERVENTION
I'M. FOR FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE IN
THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS AND HAVE
DISABILITIES THIS BILL WOULD
RECTIFY THESE ISSUES AND ENSURE
THAT OUR STUDENTS --
WITH THE MOST COSTLY NEEDS AND
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT OPPORTUNITY
TO INTERVENE EARLY --
ARE FOR TO THE APPROPRIATE
RESOURCES.
WELL WE'RE DISAPPOINTED THAT THE
STATE BUDGET DIDN'T CONTAIN --
OR INCLUDE THE TWO HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS OF ONGOING
FUNDING TO BEGIN TO EQUALIZE
BUSLOAD FUNDING AMER VERY
SUPPORTIVE OF THE CONTINUED
CONVERSATION.
I'M AND WOULD REQUEST YOUR
SUPPORT IN MOVING FORWARD.
A. B. THIRTY ONE THIRTY SIX AS A
FRAMEWORK TO EQUALIZE SPECIAL
EDUCATION FUNDING OVER TIME
ESTABLISH SOME MECHANISM TO FUND
OUR PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS.
AND ASSIST HER WITH SCHOOL OF
FISH SCHOOL AGE ON VERY VERY
HIGH SPECIALIZED SERVICES FOR
STUDENTS WITH LOW DISAPPEAR LOW
INCIDENCE DISABILITIES.
HOME I WOULD ALSO WANT TO
CONNECT TO THE COMMENTS OF
ASSEMBLYMEMBER FRAZIER EARLIER.
HE WAS SPEAKING ABOUT THE
IMPORTANCE OF TRANSITION AND
LEADING TO INDEPENDENCE ARM
AGENCY AND ULTIMATELY OUR LEVEL
OF DIGNITY FOR INDIVIDUALS WITH
DISABILITIES.
AFTER GAINFUL EMPLOYMENT I'M WE
THERE'S A SPECIAL EDUCATORS
RECOGNIZE THAT OUT IN ADDITION
TO TRANSITION PROGRAMS.
EARLY INTERVENTION --
AT THE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM SETS
THIS PATHWAY ENSURING THAT THE
RESOURCES THROUGHOUT THE K.
TWELVE CHURNING ALSO SUPPORTS
DIGNITY AND INDEPENDENCE FOR
STUDENTS AND INDIVIDUALS WITH
DISABILITIES.
SO I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION AND HEARD YOUR
STRONG SUPPORT OF AB.
THIRTY ONE THIRTY SIX GOOD
MORNING I CHAIRMAN ALAN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE --
MY NAME IS MARY SAMPLES FROM THE
VENTURA COUNTY SO BY AND AS
ASSEMBLYMAN O'DONNELL MENTIONED
I HAD THE HONOR OF BEING THE
CHAIR OF THE FISCAL SUBCOMMITTEE.
OF THE STATE WHY TASK FORCE --
FIVE YEARS AGO A GROUP OF THIRTY
FIVE DIVERSE STAKEHOLDERS WERE
SELECTED TO BE ON THAT TASK
FORCE AND THEN MORE ULTIMATELY
JOINED BY MANY AGENCY LIAISONS
INCLUDING THOSE FROM.
THE LEGISLATURE TO COME UP WITH
A COMPREHENSIVE REPORT WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS ON MANY ASPECTS
OF SPECIAL EDUCATION.
AFTER ALMOST TWO YEARS OF STUDY
DEBATE AND COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDER
INPUT FROM ALL OVER THE STATE.
THE REPORT WAS RELEASED IN.
TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN
UNFORTUNATELY THREE YEARS LATER
THE FISCAL RECOMMENDATIONS FROM
THAT REPORT HAVE NOT BEEN
ADDRESSED.
AND DURING THAT TIME THERE HAS
BEEN LITTLE TO NO SPECIAL
EDUCATION FUNDING DESPITE THE
FACT THAT FOR EACH YEAR OVER THE
LAST THREE YEARS SPECIAL
EDUCATION COSTS HAVE GONE UP BY
ALMOST A BILLION DOLLARS A YEAR.
AB THIRTY ONE THIRTY SIX BY
ASSEMBLYMAN O'DONNELL ADDRESSES
THE THREE MAJOR RECOMMENDATIONS
FROM THE FISCAL TASK FROM THE
FISCAL PART OF THE TASK FORCE
REPORT.
LC FF HAS PROVIDED A FRAMEWORK
FOR EQUALIZING BASE FUNDING IN
PROVIDING ADDITIONAL FUNDS FOR
STUDENTS WHO HAVE ADDITIONAL
NEEDS.
WE MUST DO THE SAME FOR OUR
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
THE BASE FUNDING RATES HAVE OVER
OF DOLLAR PER STUDENT DISPARITY.
AND THE VAST MAJORITY OF SELF
WAS AND THEIR DISTRICTS ARE
RECEIVING THE LOWEST RATES EVEN
BELOW THE STATEWIDE TARGET.
THE BILL ALSO ADDRESSES
PRESCHOOL FUNDING NEEDED TO
SERVE OUR YOUNG STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES WHERE WE HAVE THE
GREATEST OPPORTUNITY TO IMPROVE
THEIR ACADEMIC SOCIAL AND
EMOTIONAL GROWTH.
CURRENTLY IN MYSELF ON MY
DISTRICTS RECEIVE TWO SMALL
PRESCHOOL GRANTS BECAUSE AS YOU
KNOW EL CFFC QUE TWELVE FUNDING
BILL AND DOES NOT PROVIDE
PRESCHOOL FUNDING.
THIS YEAR WE RECEIVED A WHOLE
FOURTEEN HUNDRED AND EIGHTY ONE
DOLLARS FOR THE WHOLE YEAR FOR
EACH OF THE PRESCHOOLERS WITH
DISABILITIES.
AND OBVIOUSLY THAT'S NOT ENOUGH
TO ADDRESS THE NEEDS.
AND LASTLY THE BILL PROVIDES
BARGE FOR OUR STUDENTS THAT HAVE
THE MOST SIGNIFICANT
DISABILITIES WHO REQUIRE
EXTENSIVE SERVICES SERVICES
THROUGHOUT THEIR EDUCATIONAL
JOURNEY.
WE THANK AND COMMEND ASSEMBLYMAN
O'DONNELL FOR HIS VISION AND
PROVE IT FOR PRESENTING THIS
BILL INCLUDING A PROMISE THAT
OVER A PERIOD OF YEARS WE CAN
BEGIN TO ADDRESS THE SIGNIFICANT
FUNDING ISSUES.
THAT SURROUND OUR MOST NEEDY

DISABILITIES WE URGE THE

RESPONSIVE TO NUMBER THE ISSUES
WERE RAISED THAT ARE HEARING ON
SPECIAL EDUCATION FINANCE THAT
WE DID EARLIER THIS YEAR AND PAN

I'M I'M EXCITED ABOUT MANY
ASPECTS OF THIS BILL. FOR NUMBER
THE THE REASONS ARTICULATED SO
I'M ANY DOUBTS OR QUESTIONS YEAH
AND STRUCTURE.
NO QUESTIONS JUST COMMENTS FIRST
OF ALL DEEPLY DISAPPOINTED THAT
THAT THE MAJORITY PARTY DID NOT
CHOOSE TO PUT THIS BILL ON
CONSENT.
ANOTHER.
BROUGH WE WE WOULD WE WOULD HAVE

BILL BECAUSE EARLY INTERVENTION

AND THEN A NUMBER THREE OF THE
CHAIR AND I HAVE SENATE JOINT
RESOLUTION AND NINETEEN THAT
CALLS ON THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
TO FULLY FUND I D. E. A. LIKE
THEY SHOULD IT WERE LOSING OUT
ON FOUR BILLION DOLLARS FOR OUR
STUDENTS YOU KNOW WHO THE
MAJORITY PARTY IS THAT.
I DO NOT WITH A MAJORITY PARTY
AS YOU KNOW WHY IT HAPPENED
UNDER PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WELL.
THEY THINK THEY'VE MADE A
PROMISE THEY MADE A PROMISE AND
THEY'VE NOT THEY'VE NOT THEY'VE
NOT ON DID NOT HONOR DID IN SO
WHAT.
THAT'S GOING TO COME TO THE
FLOOR I KNOW YOU'RE GOING BE

US TERADATA FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD IS SET FUTURE XIN WHO
TAKES CARE OF A LOT OF KIDS --
TO SPECIAL ACTUALLY SPEND A LOT
TIME TALK MY PARENTS. FOR THE
KIDS -- AND
ONE THING I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
UNTIL I MORE TALK GOT THE
LEGISLATURE WAS ACTUALLY THE
TREMENDOUS CHALLENGES SCHOOL
DISTRICTS HAD AND IN TERMS OF
FIVE FUNDING A SPECIAL ED GIVEN
THE FACT THAT WE BASE IT ON A BY
SUCH A PER PUPIL SO THAT BASED
ON THE NEED.
IT'S THAT IT'S NOT BEEN AND AND
ACTUALLY AND IN ADDITION TO THE
FACT THAT MY REFER TO THREE AND
FOUR YEAR OLDS THEY DON'T COUNT.
SO -- THAT I
CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO MOVE
DOWN THE PREPPY TIME THAT ONE
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD LOOKING FOR DEBT TO BE
SURE THAT WE ACTUALLY.
GET A FEDERAL FUNDS AND ALSO
STATEWIDE --
MORE ACTUALLY FUND THAT THE
SERVICES IT'S NEAT THANK YOU
[inaudible]
FOREVER.
IF YOU MISTER CHAIR I BELIEVE
YOUR LETTERS OF OPPOSITION CAME
FROM MY DISTRICT --
A HIGHLY SUPPORTIVE OF SPECIAL
EDUCATION FUNDING MY MOM WORKED
IN SPECIAL ED FOR THIRTY FIVE
YEARS OF THE NATURE OF THE
OPPOSITION IS.
THEY JUST WANT TO KNOW WHERE THE
MONEY'S GOING TO BE.
SURE THAT THE MONIES CAN
ACTUALLY GO TO THE STUDENTS AND
NOT TO OTHER THINGS AND I
ACTUALLY TOTALLY AGREE WITH THEM
GO ON TO MAKE SURE THE MONEY IS
BEING SPENT TO HELP THE STUDENTS
AND NOT.
BE SPENT ON OTHER THINGS SUCH AS
LITIGATION AND WHAT NOT SO I
WANNA.
MAKE SURE I LET YOU KNOW THAT
AND I AGREE WITH THEIR CONCERNS
BUT ALSO VERY SUPPORTIVE OF
ANYTHING WE CAN DO FOR SPECIAL
EDUCATION.
THANK YOU.
ACUMINATE IT'S THE HOPE I
SUPPOSE.
THAT THAT WE TO EXPECT OF THE
BILL HELPS. TO DIRECT MORE
FINDING TO THOSE STUDENTS WITH --
MORE SEVERE NEEDS.
IT MAY ACTUALLY REDUCE SOME OF
THAT CURRENT TENSIONS THAT EXIST
BETWEEN DISTRICTS IN FAMILIES
THAT LEAD TO A LOT OF THE HIGH
COST LITIGATION --
SO THAT'S MY THAT'S REALLY MY
HOPE --
SENATE ACTS.
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME BILL STRONGLY
STRONGLY SUPPORT --

AYE VOTE OKAY THANK YOU SO MUCH
AS IT SHOULD BE KALRA.
ITEM TWENTY EIGHT A. B. THIRTY
ONE THIRTY SIX THE MOTION IS TO
PASS TO APPROPRIATIONS ALLEN AYE
ALLEN AYE WELL AYE WILK AYE
GALGIANI LEAVE THAT.
LEAVE THE AYE MCGUIRE PAN PAN I
BITE ACT MY NECK I ALRIGHT WE'RE
GONNA LEAVE IT OPEN TO THANK YOU.
FOR YOUR TESTIMONY AND HOW YOU
GOT ONE LAST BILL MISTER I
BELIEVE.
I DON'T SIXTEEN YOUR AGENDAS
THAT'S A. B.. NINETEEN FIFTY ONE
PATHWAYS TO COLLEGE ACT.
YOU MAY PROCEED ASSIGNMENT
[inaudible]
I BUT I THINK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN THE FIRST EXPLAIN WHY
I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT THIS BILL
THIS BILL IS ABOUT SMARTER
TESTING.
NOT JUST A LOT OF TESTING.
IWAS TALKING TO A TEACHER THE
OTHER DAY WHO SAID SHE DURING
THE MONTH OF I THINK WAS.
MAYBE MID APRIL.
TOOK TOOK IT PART OF MAY THEY
WERE ON BLOCK SCHEDULE THE WHOLE
MONTH BECAUSE IT WAS SO MUCH
TESTING.
SO AGAIN THIS ABOUT SMARTER
TESTING NOT JUST A LOT OF
TESTING IS ALSO ABOUT CLOSING
THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
SUPPORT IMIA AS A CLASSROOM
TEACHER BECAUSE I'VE LIVED THE
ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
THAT I'VE LIVED TRYING TO CLOSE
THAT ACHIEVEMENT GAP --
BECAUSE WHAT THE S. ATRAC TEA IS
IS AN ASSESSMENT AS OPPOSED TO A
TEST.
HEY -- I
TESTED SOMETHING YOU TAKE AT THE
END OF THE YEAR IS A SUMMATIVE
OFFENSE.
YEAH I CAN WILL DIE IF I AND
ACHIEVEMENT GAP THAT WILL
IDENTIFY THAT YOU MAKE ABOUT
WHAT AN ASSESSMENT SYSTEM DOES.
IS IT HELPS YOU A CLOSE IT HELP
TO CLOSE THAT ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
AND THE ACT AND THE SAT ARE
MORMON ASSESSMENT SYSTEM THEN
THEY ARE JUST TESTING SYSTEM
HOWSELL.
AND THE EIGHT NINE TENTH GRADE
YOU CAN TAKE THE PRE.
A C. T. FOR THE PRE SAT AND YOU
CAN SEE THOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS
THEN CLOSE THEM IN THE AND FROM
TIME PERIOD.
BEFORE THE START OF THAT THAT
FIRST PRETEST AND THEN THAT
FINAL SAT TEST SO THAT JUST
PERSONALLY.
IT'S A BIG DEAL TO ME BECAUSE
I'VE BEEN LONGING FOR AN
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM FOR THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA WE HAVE A TESTING
SYSTEM IT'S THE S. BACK.
I WOULD ARGUE IT HASN'T MATURED
INTO A SYSTEM LIKE WE ORIGINALLY
PROMISED THAT'S ANOTHER BILL
ANOTHER CONVERSATION I'VE BEEN
HAVING THEM ALREADY.
UP WITH THAT'S REALLY WHY I'M A
FIRM BELIEVER IN THIS BILL --
AB NINETEEN FIFTY ONE WILL
INCREASE THE PATHWAY TO COLLEGE
BY ENSURING THE PATHWAYS TO
COLLEGE BY ENSURING THAT ALL OF
THE GREAT STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS
TO REQUIRED ENTRANCE EXAM. FOR
COLLEGE.
CURRENTLY STUDENTS IN GRADE
THREE THROUGH EIGHTH AND THEN
ELEVENTH.
ARE REQUIRED TO TAKE THE SMARTER
BALANCED ASSESSMENT.
AND THAT'S THE S. BACK AGAIN.
THIS BILL WILL ALLOW SCHOOL DID
SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO ADMINISTER A
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM SUCH AS
THE SAT OR ACT INSTEAD.
OF THE STATE REQUIRED.
ELEVENTH GRADE ASSESSMENT WHICH
IS THE ASPECT.
OVER FORTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
INCLUDING SANTA MONICA MALIBU
SACRAMENTO.
RIALTO REDLANDS PARAMOUNT THE
DISTRICT WHERE I TAUGHT AND
STILL TEACH AND IN MY HOME
DISTRICT LONG BEACH UNIFIED ARE
CURRENTLY OFFERING THE SAT OR
ACT DURING THE SCHOOL DAY FOR
FREE.
AND AN EFFORT TO INCREASE THE
COLLEGE ATTENDANCE RATE.
AND IN FACT YESTERDAY THE LOS
ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
BOARD ARE BLESSED GOING FORWARD
THAT THE THEY TOO WOULD
PARTICIPATE IN THIS DISTRICT
WIDE.
THEY ONLY GIVE THE ADMINISTERING
THE SAT OR ACT TO THEIR STUDENTS --
SO IT'S COMING IT'S ALREADY
HAPPENING.
WE NEED TO SUPPORT IT.
AS A MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHER FOR HERE ARE MY REASONS
FOR INTRODUCING THE BILL AGAIN.
OF THE SMARTER BALANCED
ASSESSMENT IS A TEST.
THE SAT IS AN ASSESSMENT.
WHAT I MEAN BY THAT A TEST SHOWS
YOU WHERE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS ARE
AND AGAIN ASSESSMENT TELLS YOU
HOW?
TO CLOSE THOSE ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.
BEGINNING IN THEEIGHTH GRADE
STUDENTS CAN TAKE THE PSA T..
WHICH IS TEACHERS CAN USE TO
ADDRESS THE GAPS IN STUDENT
LEARNING.
THE S. BACK WAS INTENDED TO BE
MORE USEFUL TO TEACHERS BUT IT'S
NOT THERE YET IT HASN'T MATURED
TO THAT PRODUCT.
THE SAT IS MEANINGFUL TO
STUDENTS AND THEY HAVE A STAKE
IN A GONER STAND THAT YOU KNOW
YOU'RE IN ELEVENTH GRADE.
YOU'RE SERIOUSLY YOU'RE GOING TO
CLASS YOU GOTTA TAKE THIS PASS
IT DOESN'T MEAN ANYTHING TO HEAR
QUITE FRANKLY YOU'RE OUT YOU'RE
HALF WAY OUT NOW --
BUT THE SAT REALLY HAS STUDENTS
ARE INVESTED IN THAT.
THIS BILL WILL REDUCE THE AMOUNT
OF TESTING THE AND GIVES
STUDENTS AND TEACHERS MORE TIME
FOR INSTRUCTION.
ELEVENTH GRADE IS A VERY BUSY
YEAR FOR OUR STUDENTS STUDENTS
ARE NOT ONLY TAKING THE STATE
REQUIRED TEST BUT ALSO AP TESTS
AND COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS AS
WELL.
WELL LET ME ADDRESS SOME
CONCERNS THAT HAVE BEEN
PRESENTED.
WILL ACCOMMODATIONS BE REQUIRED
ABSOLUTELY YES IT IS A
REQUIREMENT BY FEDERAL LAW.
AND IT IS A REQUIREMENT IN THIS
BILL ACCOMMODATIONS MUST BE
PROVIDED.
ACCOMMODATIONS ARE BASED ON A
STUDENT'S I EP OR FIVE OH FOR
PLAN.
BUT THEY WILL NOT BE IDENTICAL
TO ACCOMMODATIONS PROVIDED FOR
STUDENTS TAKING THE ASPECT.
SOME ACCOMMODATIONS ARE UNIQUE
TO THE S. BACK.
BECAUSE IT IS A COMPUTER TACITUS
IMPURE BASED TESTS AND SO THEY
WILL NOT APPLY TO THE SAT OR ACT.
OTHERS WILL.
ACCOMMODATIONS NEED A VERY --
THEY'VE.
IT'S A STANDARDIZED TEST THAT
TEST IS STATIC BUT STUDENTS AND
STUDENT NEEDS ARE NOT EVERY
STUDENT IS DIFFERENT SO THE
ACCOMMODATIONS MORE DIFFERENT
FOR THOSE STUDENTS WHO NEED
ACCOMMODATIONS AGAIN.
UNDER THEIR PLANS FOR THEIR IP.
UNDER THIS BILL ACCOMMODATIONS
WILL BE EASIER TO COORDINATE
THIS IS IMPORTANT WILL BE EASIER
TO COORDINATE BECAUSE IT'S
PATTERSON WILL CITE.
AT THE SCHOOLS MANAGING THAT THE
REQUEST WILL BE HANDLED BY
SCHOOL STAFF ACCOUNTS ARE PER SE
OR MAYBE THE SPECIAL ED STAFF.
RATHER THAN A PARENT NAVIGATING
THE PROCESS ALONE IS A VERY
IMPORTANT POINT.
WHAT THE ALTERNATIVE ASSESSMENT
BE ALIGNED OUR STATE STANDARDS
YES?
THIS BILL REQUIRES.
AND I WANT TO REMIND THE
COMMITTEE THAT THERE IS NO ONE
TESTS NOT EVEN THE ASPECT NOT
EVEN THE ASPECT THAT IS
COMPLETELY ALIGNED TO OUR COMMON
CORE STANDARDS.
EACH OF THE FOURTEEN COMMON CORE
STATES MAY HAVE CHANGED HER
ADDED TO THE STANDARDS BUT THE
ASPECT IS THE SAME TEST FOR ALL
PARTICIPATING STATES.
QUE IS PEER REVIEW REQUIRE WE'VE
HEARD SOME SOME SOME COMMENTS
ABOUT THAT [inaudible]
ABSOLUTELY PEER REVIEW IS
REQUIRED IT IS REQUIRED BY THE
US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
BUT HAVE ACCEPTED COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS TO MAKE IT BAD VERY --
CLEAR.
AGAIN THERE WERE SOME CONCERNS
WE ACCEPTED AMENDMENTS THAT WERE
BROUGHT FORWARD TO US ON THAT
VERY MATTER.
KATE DOES THIS BILL I ALLOW PEER
REVIEW TO BE PROP BYPASSED NO IT
DOES NOT.
PEER REVIEW MUST TAKE PLACE
WHETHER HERE OR IN ANOTHER STATE
THE REQUIREMENTS THAT MUST BE
MET ARE THE SAME.
WE COULD SAVE TIME AND MONEY BY
NOT HAVING TO REPLICATE THE
PROCESS SO.
IN OTHER WORDS WE DON'T NEED IT
WE WILL WHEN OTHER STATES ARE
ALREADY DOING IT WHY DON'T WE
ADOPTED THEIR PEER REVIEW
PROCESS.
YEAH I'M THE THIS ONLY APPLIES
TO PEARY STEVE HERE YOU DID FOR
STATES THAT BETTER THAT BUT THAT
ARE BASED ON THE COMMON CORE
STANDARDS WERE NOT GONNA.
GO AND LOOK AT SOME PEER REVIEW
FROM A STATE THAT DOESN'T CARE
TO THE COMMON CORE STANDARDS SO
WILL BE CONSISTENT WITH
CALIFORNIA STANDARDS.
CAN WE USE THE SAT OR ACT FOR
ACCOUNTABILITY PURPOSES.
THERE IS DEFINITELY A WAY TO
LINE THE SAT OR ACT WITH ASPECTS
SCORES THROUGH CONCORD AND
STUDIES SO YES THAT IS OUR
EXPECTATION.
WE CAN GET AN ACT OR ACT SCORE
S. BACK PERFORMANCE LEVEL SO THE
ANSWER TO THAT QUESTION IS YES.
WILL THERE BE A PROBLEM WITH
STUDENT PRIVACY.
NO SCORES WILL REALLY RE
RELEASED ONLY TO COLLEGES
REQUESTED BY THE STUDENTS.
AND FOR POT STILL APPLIES SO
THAT CONCERNED QUITE FRANKLY IS
NOT ALL.
OPPOSITION WILL SAY THAT THE
ACHIEVE REPORT THERE'S A REPORT
OUT THERE FLOATING AROUND --
ENTITLED THE ACHIEVE REPORT DE
RECOMMENDS AGAINST USING THE SAT
OR ACT HOWEVER.
ACHIEVE IS AFFILIATED WITH THE
PARK TESTIFIED DIFFERENT TEST
BOMB IS A PRETTY BIASED POINT OF
VIEW SPONSORED BY ANOTHER
TESTING OPERATION.
THEY HAVE A SELF INTEREST IN
PUTTING FORWARD AN ARGUMENT LIKE
THAT.
MEMBERS WHAT WE ARE DOING HERE
IS AUTHORIZED BY THE FEDERAL LAW.
IN FACT A NUMBER OF OTHER STATES
INCLUDING CONNECTICUT DELAWARE
ILLINOIS MAINE MICHIGAN HAVE
RECEIVED APPROVAL FROM THE US
DEPARTMENT OF EDCATION. TO
ADMINISTER A COLLEGE ENTRANCE
EXAM IN PLACE OF THE STATE
ADOPTED ASSESSMENT OTHERS ARE
DOING IT. TWO STATES NORTH
DAKOTA AND OKLAHOMA HAVE
RECEIVED APPROVAL TO DO WHAT WE
WOULD LIKE TO DO GIVE DISTRICTS
CHOICE.
WHILE THEY GO THROUGH PEER
REVIEW.
THERE MAY BE A RELUCTANCE FOR
THIS PROPOSAL BECAUSE CALIFORNIA
WAS ONE OF THE MAIN CONTRIBUTORS
TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ASPECT
BUT AGAIN.
THE S. BACK NEVER MATURED INTO
THE PRODUCT IT WAS DESIGNED TO
BE.
THE IDEA WAS THAT WOULD BE AN
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM.
HEY I'M TELLING YOU TODAY IT IS
REALLY A TESTING SYSTEM.
BIAS THAT WE THINK ABOUT THE
OPPORTUNITIES THAT MAY OPEN UP
FOR OUR STUDENTS WITH THIS BILL.
AND HERE I HERE TO TESTIFY IS
WORRY OCULAR SUPERINTENDENT OF

SPOKEN -- AT
ANY OF OUR SEVENTY SEVEN SCHOOLS.
WE HAVE A VERY SPECIFIC GUIDING
PRINCIPLE IN SAC CITY --
WHICH STATES THAT WE ARE TO GIVE
EVERY STUDENT AN EQUAL
OPPORTUNITY TO GRADUATE.
WITH THE GREATEST NUMBER OF POST
SECONDARY CHOICES FROM THE
WIDEST ARRAY OF OPTIONS.
THIS PARTICULAR BLL WILL HELP
US ACHIEVE THAT GUIDING
PRINCIPLE AND BRING IT TO LIFE
ON BEHALF OF ALL OF OUR STUDENTS.
BY ENSURING THAT THE CAN FULFILL
THE COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM
REQUIREMENT THAT SO MANY OF OUR
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES.
STILL HAVE AS PART OF THEIR
APPLICATION FOR ADMISSIONS
CRITERIA.
WHICH IS WHY SUPPORT THIS
LEGISLATION TO ENSURE THAT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS LIKE SEX CITY.
CAN ADMINISTER THE LSAT OR OTHER
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAMS TO ALL OF
OUR ELEVENTH GRADE STUDENTS.
WANT TO SHARE A LITTLE BIT OF
DATA ON THIS POINT I THAT I SEEN
SHEDS LIGHT ON THE IMPORTANCE OF
THE BILL AND HOW IT WILL HELP
OUR STUDENTS PARTICULARLY THOSE
WITH THE GREATEST NEEDS.
INSECTS CITY UNIFIED.
WE JUST GRADUATED ABOUT TWENTY
NINE HUNDRED HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS
LAST WEEK.
AND OF THOSE ONLY FIVE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY NINE OF THEM
APPROXIMATELY 19% HAD TAKEN THE
S. C. T. OR THE A. C. T. COMING
INTO THEIR SENIOR YEAR.
GET ABOUT TWENTY NINE HUNDRED
GRADUATES AND COMING INTO THEIR
SENIOR YEAR ONLY FIVE HUNDRED
AND FIFTY NINE HAD TAKE IN A
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM.
WHICH POINTS TO A SERIOUS ISSUE
THAT NEEDS TO BE REMEDIED THE
FACT THAT SO MANY STUDENTS IN
OUR DISTRICT WERE PREVIOUSLY
ENTERING THEIR SENIOR YEAR NOT
ON TRACK TO GRADUATE WITH THE
GREATEST NUMBER OF POST
SECONDARY CHOICES FROM THE
WIDEST ARRAY OF OPTIONS.
ONLY TO TO THE REQUIREMENT TAT
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
REUIRE WHICH IS TO TAKE A
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM.
SO IN MY FIRST YEAR AS
SUPERINTENDENT WE TOOK ACTION
AND WE ADMINISTERED THE ESSAY
TEA ON A SCHOOL DAY ON APRIL
TENTH.
WERE ALL TWO THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED OF OUR JUNIORS.
TOOK THAT S. C. T. ACT AS PART
OF THEIR SCHOOL DAY AND AT NO
COST.
THIS WILL SIGNIFICANTLY EXPAND
THE POOL OF STUDENTS PREPARED AN
ELIGIBLE TO CHOOSE TO PURSUE A
HIGHER EDUCATION GOING INTO
THEIR SENIOR YEAR.
BEFORE THE APPLICATION WINDOW
STARTS.
WE KNOW THIS BECAUSE PRIOR TO
OUR S. C. T. DAY OF THE
APPROXIMATELY TWO THOUSAND EIGHT
HUNDRED HIGH SCHOOL SENIORS IN
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT TO TOOK THE
SAT ON APRIL TENTH.
ONLY FIFTY FIVE OF THEM OR 2%
HAD PREVIOUSLY TAKEN THE S..
EIGHTEEN SO WE MAY ASK OURSELVES
WHAT ARE THE BARRIERS PREVENTING
STUDENTS FROM TAKING COLLEGE
ENTRANCE EXAMS THAT ARE SO
IMPORTANT TO THEIR FUTURE.
BUT THE MORE IMPORTANT QUESTION
IS WE DID THAT WE SHOULD ASK
OURSELVES IS WHAT CAN WE AS
EDUCATORS AND LAWMAKERS TO TO
MAKE SURE THESE BARRIERS DON'T
pTHEIR POLL FRUITFUL POTENTIAL
AND I BELIEVE THAT THIS BILL IS
ONE ANSWER.
IT'LL HELP BREAK DOWN WHATEVER
THE BARRIERS ARE THAT ARE
PREVENTING STUDENTS FROM TAKING
THE TEST.
IT'LL ALSO HELP OUR DISTRICT AND
EVERY OTHER DISTRICT IN THE
STATE ENSURE THAT EVERY STUDENT
THAT IS ON TRACK FOR COLLEGE
ELIGIBILITY IS TAKING THE
COLLEGE ENTRANCE EXAM BEFORE THE
END OF THEIR JUNIOR YEAR.
BEING ABLE TO USE THE SAT OR THE
A. C. A. CTS AND ALTERNATIVE THE
STATE'S STANDARDIZED TESTS WILL
BE A RELIEF FOR TEACHERS AND
STUDENTS SO THAT THEY MAY FOCUS
ON PREPARING STUDENTS FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION AND CAREER
PREPARATIONS.
I THINK ASSEMBLY MEMBER
O'DONNELL FOR INTRODUCING THE
BILL AND HOPE THE COMMITTEE WILL
AGREE ON THE VALUE TO OUR
STUDENTS AS YOU WILL HEAR FROM
ALYSSA.
IN A FEW MINUTES OF THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION
[inaudible]
TESTING.
THANK YOU AGAIN CHAIRMAN ALLEN
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND STAFF FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY --
TO ADDRESS YOU ON THIS --
WONDERFUL BUILD --
THAT THE ASSOCIATION OF
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS --
AND MYSELF SUPPORT --
AND AS WELL AS TO RISK ARREST --
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ACROSS OUR
STATE ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THIS
BILL OP BECAUSE IT TRULY
ADDRESSES THE COLLEGE DIPLOMA
GAP BY OPENING DOORS TO HIGHER
EDUCATION FOR STUDENTS THROUGH
OFFERING COLLEGE INTEREST TESTS
LIKE THE SAT OR ACT DURING THE
SCHOOL DAY AT NO COST. TWO
STUDENTS I'D LIKE TO SHARE WITH
YOU THAT I AM A FORMER HIGH
SCHOOL ENGLISH AND THE SL
TEACHER AND A FORMER HIGH SCHOOL
PRINCIPAL.
AND AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER
MYSELF GROWING UP THROUGH THE
NEW YORK CITY PUBLIC SCHOOL
SYSTEM SO THE ISSUE OF OF
CLOSING THE THE COLLEGE DIPLOMA
GAP -- FOR A
SIGNIFICANT PORTION OF OUR
POPULATION ARE AND PROVIDING
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR SPECIAL
POPULATIONS IS VERY OP PERSONAL --
TO ME.
AND IN MY WORK AS A
SUPERINTENDENT THE DISTRICT THAT
I REPRESENT HAS A 94% POVERTY
RATE OVER 80% LATINO AND OVER
35% ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER
POPULATION.
SO TWO YEARS AGO WHEN I STARTED --
MY SUPERINTENDENCY AND PARAMOUNT --
WE BEGAN TO OFFER THE PSA TEA
NSA TEA --
FREE OF CHARGE AND DURING THE
SCHOOL DAY FOR OUR STUDENTS --
THE SAME AS MR ARGUE LOUD IN IN
SACKS CITY THIS WAS AN ISSUE AND
INITIATIVE DOT COMPLIMENTS ARE
DISTRICT FOCUS OF COLLEGE AND
CAREER READINESS.
ADDITIONALLY WE'VE DONE
EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROVIDE OUR
PREPARATION AND THAT FOCUS FOR
COLLEGE AND CAREERS FOR OUR
STUDENTS.
WE'VE IMPLEMENTED AVID A
NATIONAL COLLEGE AND CAREER
READINESS PROGRAM NOT ONLY IN
HIGH SCHOOL BUT IN ELEMENTARY
AND MIDDLE SCHOOL --
THE WE'VE ADDED OTHER SUPPORTIVE
PROGRAMS IN SUPPORTED THIS
PRIORITY.
AND CONSISTENT WITH THE TENANTS
HAVE PROVISIONS IN THE EL CAP
WHICH PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY IN
THESE DECISIONS TO OUR GOVERNING
BOARD AND OUR PARENTS
STAKEHOLDERS WE HAVE EXPENDED A
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF EL CAP
FUNDING.
IN THE PROCESS.
WE'RE ALSO OFFERING FREE SAT
PREP CLASSES FOR STUDENTS
SOMETHING THAT MOST OF OUR
FAMILIES.
IF NOT ALL CANNOT AFFORD AS
THESE CLASSES TAKEN ELSEWHERE
WOULD COST SEVEN HUNDRED DOLLARS
PER COURSE.
IN PARAMOUNT WE DO ALL OF THIS
TO BECAUSE WE RECOGNIZE THAT IF
MORE STUDENTS ARE ABLE O TAKE A
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS TEST.
MORE UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS
CONNECTED DIRECTLY TO
SCHOLARSHIPS FREE PERSONAL LIKES
TEST PRACTICE TOOLS AND COLLEGE
APPLICATION FEE WAIVERS REMOVING
THEIR HISTORIC BARRIERS TO
HIGHER EDUCATION.
WE KNOW THAT THESE OPPORTUNITIES
HELP TO REDUCE BARRIERS AND
EXPANDS OPPORTUNITIES FOR HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS WHO DO NOT YET
KNOW THEIR POST SECONDARY
EDUCATION PLANS.
SINCE TAKING A COLLEGE ENTRANCE
EXAM WILL AFFORD THEM THE OPTION
TO APPLY TO COLLEGE IF THEY
DECIDE TO DO SO.
AS I KNOW YOU'RE AWARE OF THE
VALUE OF THIS CHOICE HAS BEEN
RECOGNIZED BY THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT.
WHICH NOW GIVE STATES THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HELP ADDRESS THE
DIPLOMA GAP BYGIVING ALL
STUDENTS EASIER ACCESS TO
COLLEGE ADMISSIONS TESTS.
AB NINETEEN FIFTY ONE WILL
PROVIDE RELEVANCY TO OUR COLLEGE
AND CAREER READINESS WORK AT THE
SECONDARY LEVEL.
STUDENTS UNDERSTAND THE
IMPORTANCE OF THE SAT WHEN
PLANNING FOR THEIR IMMEDITE
FUTURE IN POST SECONDARY
ENDEAVORS.
IT WILL ALSO FREE UP TIME
EXPENDED ON THIS ADDITIONAL
ASSESSMENT. FOR MORE INSTRUCTION
I'M MORE LEARNING.
IF IT DISTRICT CHOOSES TO
ADMINISTER THE SAT IN LIEU OF
THE S. BACK IN PARAMOUNT.
OURS ARE JUNIORS HAVE APPROACH
THIS ASSESSMENT WITH MOTIVATION
AND HIGH INTEREST.
ON TESTING DAY.
I CANNOT SAY THAT UNFORTUNATELY
ABOUT THE S. BACK.
EQUALLY IMPORTANT A. B. NINETEEN
FIFTY ONE REQUIRES ENGLISH
LEARNERS TO BE PROVIDED
APPROPRIATE ACCURATE MEDINA
AFTER COMMENTS.
I'M SORRY TO ASK YOU TO WRAP UP
YOUR COMMENTS ó SUREN --
WELL THIS WAS MY LAST SENTENCE
OKAY AFFECT HER --
PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT A. B.
IN NINETEEN FIFTY ONE INSURANCE
DISCOMFORT STATION AND DECISIONS
HAPPEN AT THE LOCAL LEVEL
BETWEEN A GOVERNING BOARD AND
STAKEHOLDERS TO CONSIDER WHAT IS
BEST FOR STUDENTS.
BEFORE AND DISTRICT CAN MOVE IN
THIS DIRECTION SO ON BEHALF OF
ACSA AND THE STUDENTS WE SERVE
ACROSS THE STATE ARE REESE THE
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR A VOTE ON
A. B.. NINETEEN FIFTY ONE TO
HELP BRING MEANING AND RELEVANCE
TO THE HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE
FOR OUR JUNIOR STUDENTS ACROSS
THE STATE THANK YOU [inaudible]
YES MA'AM.
I BELIEVE THAT A BABY NINETEEN
FIFTY ONE ADDRESSES A VERY
CRITICAL CONCERN WITHIN OUR
SCHOOL DISTRICT NOT AS THE
PASSION WITHIN OUR STUDENTS --
IF YOU LOOK AT THE GENERATIONS
EACH GENERATION THAT WE ARE NOW
COMING ACROSS HAS A LOT MORE
PASSION THAN THE ONE BEFORE IT
BUT UNFORTUNATELY.
NOT A LOT OF THAT PASSION IS
TOWARDS EDUCATION --
HOWEVER WHEN.
WE ADMINISTERED THE SAT IN APRIL
IN OUR SCHOOL DISTRICT --
IT ACTUALLY AMAZE ME AND HOW HOW
MANY STUDENTS WERE SO INVESTED
IN THEIR EDUCATION ALL OF THEIR
TIME ALL OF THEIR EFFORTS WERE
TOWARDS THE SAT BECAUSE THEY
SEEN THAT TICKET TO SUCCESS THAT
EITHER THEY THOUGHT THEY COULD
NOT REACH A THAT WAS NOT
POSSIBLE AT ALL --
DAY DID NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR IT
THEY DIDNOT HAVE TO GO TRAVEL
TO GO TAKE IT A STUDENTS
ACTUALLY TAKING THIS EXAM
STARTED TO FIND THAT TRUE
POTENTIAL INSIDE THEMSELVES TO
WHERE THEY CAN PUT THEIR PASSION
TOWARDS GOING TO COLLEGE.
AND NOT OTHER THINGS THAT I'D
HAD NO -- AS
A STUDENT MYSELF I CAN TELL YOU
A LOT OF THE TESTS THAT WE TAKE
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR ARE
POINTLESS AND A LOT OF THE TESTS
THAT WE TAKE THROUGHOUT THE YEAR --
HAVE REALLY NO MEANING AND WE
NEVER REALLY KNOW WHERE THE AND
JIM GOES FROM THE EXAMS --
AS YOUTHS AS WE'VE SEEN AND A
WHOLE BUNCH OF OUR AS THE ONLY
TIMES THAT WE ACTUALLY GET TO
SEE OUR RESULTS AND KNOW THAT
THOSE RESULTS ACTUALLY GET US
WHERE WE NEED TO GO.
IS THE SAT AND ACT BECAUSE THOSE
TESTS ARE WHAT CAN GET US INTO
COLLEGE NOW THE ONES THOSE FEW
OF US WHO ARE ACTUALLY FORTUNATE
NOT TO GO OUT AND TAKE THAT EXAM.
WHEN IT'S NOT ADMITTED
ADMINISTERED TO US FOR FREE ON
OUR CAMPUS A WE ACTUALLY DO GET
THAT UPPER HAND WHEN WE'RE
APPLYING FOR A COLLEGES AND
THINGS OF THAT SORT?
BUT OTHER STUDENTS WHEN THEY
CAN'T --
AFFORD THE TEST OR THEY CAN GO
TO TAKE THE TEST OR THEY QUITE
FRANKLY DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT
THE TEST AT ALL --
THOSE STUDENTS EITHER DON'T GO
FOR THOSE DREAMS THAT THEY ONCE
HAD OR THEY SETTLE FOR LESS WHEN
THEY SHOULD HAVE HAD MORE.
NOW -- WE
CAN ALWAYS TELL OUR
ADMINISTRATION YOU KNOW YOU
SHOULD DO THIS THERE ARE A LOT
OF THINGS THAT ADMINISTRATION
SHOULD DO BUT WE CAN'T
NECESSARILY WALK AROUND AND MAKE
SURE THAT EVERY SINGLE PRINCIPLE.
DOES EVERY SINGLE THING THAT
THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT WHAT
I CAN TELL YOU IS THAT WITH THE
PASSION WITHIN OUR STUDENTS ON
WHEN WE ACTUALLY SEEN A LOT OF
GUN VIOLENCE IN SCHOOLS RECENTLY
BUILT A BIT AT THE BEGINNING OF
THIS YEAR.
ON WE NOTICED THAT STUDENTS
REALIZE THAT GUN VIOLENCE
DIRECTLY AFFECTS THEIR LIVES
DOWN IT DIRECTLY AFFECTS THEM
AND EVER SINCE THAT MOMENT WE
HAVE SEEN --
A BLOSSOM OF PASSION FOR MY
STUDENTS WHEN IT COMES TO GUN
VIOLENCE STUDENTS HAVE DONE
PROTEST AND WALKOUTS AND MARCHES
AND THE THINGS THAT THEY'VE DONE
IS ENDLESS BECAUSE NOW THEY HAVE
A PASSION. TO CHANGE GUN
VIOLENCE IN THEIR SCHOOLS NOW
STUDENTS WERE JUST RECENTLY --
EXPOSED TO AN SAT SCHOOLS OR
SCHOOLS AROUND THEM AND NOW THEY
CAN SEE THAT GOING TO COLLEGE IN
BEING ABLE TO TAKE THAT EXAM FOR
FREE AND GETTING TO THE OTHER
LEVEL THAT THEY REALLY WISH THAT
THEY COULD BE AT IS NOW POSSIBLE.
SO I CAN TELL YOU THAT A FOREIGN
MINISTER I FIRE ADMINISTRATION
DOES NOT NECESSARILY IMPLEMENT
THIS OR NECESSARILY UTILIZE IN
THE WAY THAT THEY SHOULD THE
STUDENTS WELL.
OUR FOLKS ONE AND VOICE YOUR
SUPPORT.

NEUTRAL AND NOT SUPPORT AS
INDICATED IN THE ANALYSIS THANK
YOU.
I'M FOLKS WHO WANT TO RAISE
CONCERNS ARE SPEAK UP TO
OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.
YOU COME HERE.
WE HAVE A SEAT APPEARANCE.
YES SIR UNIVERSITY.
GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR CARECA
ASHLEY DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT
TACK CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION.
THE STATE SUPERINTENDENT OF
OPPOSES NINETEEN FIFTY ONE BUT
FIRST LET ME SAY THAT THE
SUPERINTENDENT --
FINDS IT LAUDABLE AND SUPPORTS --
THE CONCEPT OF SCHOOL DISTRICTS --
GIVING ALL OF THEIR STUDENTS
ACCESS TO SAT AND ACT --
WITHOUT COST NO WE JUST THINK
THAT THAT DOESN'T HAVE TO BE AT
THAT THE EXPENSE OF THE SMARTER
BALANCED ASSESSMENT ON GRADE.
ELEVEN AND AT TWENTY THIRTEEN
FOURTEEN THE CALIFORNIA
LEGISLATURE AUTHORIZED --
IT THE SMARTER BALANCED TO A
PROVIDE AT A COMPLETE ASSESSMENT
SYSTEM.
IT IS A SUMMATIVE TEST AT THE
END OF THE YEAR BUT IT'S NOT
ONLY A SUMMIT OF TEST.
THEIR INTERIM TESTS THAT ARE
GIVEN FREE OF CHARGE TO ALL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT CAN BE
USED THROUGHOUT THE YEAR TO
MEASURE PROGRESS AS THEY LEAD UP
TO THE END OF THE YEAR TEST.
THERE IS ALSO A DIGITAL LIBRARY
THAT PROVIDES FORMATIVE
RESOURCES. FOR TEACHERS TO BE
USED IN THEIR CLASSROOM ON A
DAILY BASIS SO THIS MUCH MORE
THAN AN END OF YEAR TASK.
JUST LAST WEEK I WAS MEETING
WITH THE TESTING EXECUTIVE --
NATIONAL TESTING EXECUTIVE WHO
SAID TO ME THAT CALIFORNIA HAS.
THE BEST K. TWELVE TESTING
PROGRAM IN THE COUNTRY.
A LOT OF THAT IS BECAUSE OF OUR
A PARTICIPATION IN SMARTER
BALLOTS.
SMARTER BALANCED IS NOT JUST
ANOTHER TEST FENDER.
THEY ARE OFFICE.
THEY ARE GOVERNED BY THE STATES
THAT PARTICIPATE IN SMARTER
BALLOTS.
SMARTER BALANCES THE UNIVERSITY
OF CALIFORNIA PRODUCT SMARTER
BALANCED EMPLOYEES ARE YOU SEE
EMPLOYEES.
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS HELPED
DEVELOP THE TEST IF THE LINE TO
OUR STANDARDS AND WE KNOW IT HAS
ALL THE ACCOMMODATIONS NEEDED
FOR ENGLISH LEARNERS AND OUR
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
AND WHEN NEEDED WE KNOW HOW TO
AFFECT CHANGE IN THAT ASSESSMENT
SO THAT IT IMPROVES YEAR BY YEAR.
IN FACT JUST LAST YEAR
ASSEMBLYMAN O'DONNELL SPONSORED
AB TEN THIRTY FIVE REQUIRING
SMARTER BALANCED TO IMPROVE ITS
REPORTING SYSTEM FOR ITS
INTERMITTENT.
AND BECAUSE OF OUR PARTICIPATION
IN SMARTER BALANCED AND OUR
INFLUENCE IN THAT TEST WE WERE
ABLE TO MAKE THOSE CHANGES
WITHIN JUST A FEW MONTHS.
SMARTER BALANCED HAS GIVEN --
EIGHT SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN
CALIFORNIA HAVE GIVEN EIGHT
MILLION IN TERM ASSESSMENTS
THROUGHOUT THIS YEAR.
SO IT'S NOT JUST AN END OF YEAR
TEST EIGHT MILLION ASSESSMENTS
WERE GIVEN THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL
YEAR LEADING UP TO THE END OF
THE YEAR TASK.
WE DON'T HAVE ANYTHING THAT KIND
OF INFLUENCE OVER A NATIONAL
TEST.
WE DON'T GOVERN AND WE DON'T
HAVE ANY LEVERAGE TO IMPROVE ITS
QUALITY AND WE DON'T HAVE ANY
LEVERAGE TO IMPROVE THE
ACCESSIBILITY FOR STUDENTS THAT
NEED ACCOMMODATIONS.
YES THESE NATIONAL TESTS YOU
HAVE ACCOMMODATIONS THEY HAVE
SOME ACCOMMODATIONS THAT WILL
ACCOMMODATE MOST STUDENTS.
BUT MOST STUDENTS SHOULDN'T BE
ENOUGH FOR US.
THIS TEST TESTING NEEDS TO BE
ACCESSIBLE TO EACH AND EVERY
STUDENT OTHERWISE IT'S NOT
EQUITY.
IT'S WIDELY SAID THAT WHATEVER
GETS TESTED GETS TALKED.
IF WE HAND OVER OUR HIGH SCHOOL
TESTING TO A NATIONAL VENDOR IN
WHICH WE DON'T GOVERN THAN WE
HAVE HANDED OVER WHAT GETS
TAUGHT IN OUR HIGH SCHOOLS.
NATIONAL TESTS ARE DESIGNED TO
DO ONE THING AND THAT'S CREATE A
CUT POINT.
AS TO WHETHER YOU YOU GAIN
ADMISSIONS INTO COLLEGE OR NOT
THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE DESIGNED
TO DO AND THEY DO THAT VERY WELL.
WE REALLY DON'T KNOW WHAT THOSE
TESTS DO YOU ECT IN A C. T.
COURSE STUDENTS THAT ARE AT THE
LOWER LEVELS [inaudible]
OF ACHIEVEMENT.
THOSE OF YOU WHO CARE ABOUT
STUDENT PRIVACY THE US
DEPARTMENT EDUCATION JUST ISSUED
A WARNING THAT DISTRICTS AND
STATES MAY BE AT RISK.
OF VIOLATING FEDERAL PRIVACY
LAWS BECAUSE THESE NATIONAL
TESTS ASK FOR STUDENT SURVEY
INFORMATION.
AND THEN IN TURN CELLS THAT
INFORMATION TO OTHERS.
CALIFORNIA STUDENT DATA SHOULD
NOT BE FORCED TO HELP. FOR THOSE
WHO ARE CONCERNED ABOUT COST.
OR HOLDING SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABLE.
THIS BILL WILL BE EXPENSIVE AND
IT MAY NOT EVEN BE POSSIBLE TO
COMPARE THE SCORES OF THESE
NATIONAL TESTS IN OUR NEW
ACCOUNTABILITY CSUS.
AS WAS MENTIONED OKLAHOMA NORTH
DAKOTA WANT TO DO THE SAME THING
THAT WE'VE THAT'S BEING PROPOSED
IN THIS BILL FLORIDA ALSO WANTS
TO DO THE SAME THING.
AND THEY AUTHORIZED FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS LAST YEAR TO DO
A STUDY.
THEY PUT OUT AN RFP AND THE
RESULTS CAME BACK THAT SAID.
AT THE AT THE IDEA OF COMPARING
THESE RESULTS IN AN
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM IS NOT
APPROPRIATE AND UNLIKELY TO MEET
FEDERAL REQUIREMENTS.
I'M GLAD ANSWERING THE QUESTIONS.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS I'M ISABEL GARCIA
REPRESENTING THE CALIFORNIA
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION IN
OPPOSITION TO AB.
NINETEEN FIFTY ONE CJ THINKS THE
CHAIR IN THE ON THROUGH BOTH
COMMITTEE STAFFS FOR WORKING
WITH ON CTA TO ADDRESS WELL
REGARDING OUR CONCERNS.
AND WE URGE THE COMMITTEE TO
ACCEPT THE SPECIFIED A
RECOMMENDED COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
BUT ALSO TO DEVELOP LANGUAGE TO
ADDRESS THE REMAINING ISSUES
THAT HAVE BEEN RAISED IN THE
STAFF ANALYSIS.
CTA AGREES WITH THE STAFF
RECOMMENDATION ON PAGE TEN TO
AMEND THE BILL.
I TO REQUIRE THE STATE TO
UNDERTAKE THE PEER REVIEW
PROCESS.
BEFORE THIS STATE SUPERINTENDENT
CAN APPROVE ONE OR MORE
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED HIGH
SCHOOL ASSESSMENTS.
AND PEER REVIEW WILL ADDRESS
MANY OF THE CONCERNS IT'S CTA
HAS HAS RAISED IN ITS OPPOSITION.
YOU -- A
MAYES FIFTEENTH TWENTY SEVENTEEN
US DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
LETTER TO STATE ASSESSMENT
DIRECTOR SAID.
THE STATE MUST ESTABLISH THE
CRITERIA AND UNDERTAKE THE
REVIEW OF ITS NATIONAL OF
NATIONALLY RECOGNIZED HIGH
SCHOOL ASSESSMENT.
BEFORE IT MAY OFFER THE
OPPORTUNITY TO A LOCAL EDUCATION
AGENCY TO SELECT THE ASSESSMENT.
CG ALSO AGREES WITH THE STAFF
SUGGESTION ON PAGE ELEVEN TO
CONSIDER DELETING SUBDIVISION
OF THE BELL.
THE SAME MAY TWENTY SEVENTEEN
LETTER FROM THE US DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION WE FEEL CLARIFIES THAT
pPEER REVIEW PROCESS FROM ANOTHER
STATE.
ON THE WE WE DON'T WE THINK IT
MAKES CLEAR THAT IS NOT
ALLOWABLE UNDER FEDERAL LAW AND
THAT'S WHY WE ARE URGING THE
STRIKING OF SUBDIVISION.
UP THE CTA AGREES WITH THE STAFF
RECOMMENDED AMENDMENT ON PAGE
NINE TO INCLUDE A REQUIREMENT
FOR THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
TO AMEND THE STATE PLAN TO
ACCOUNT FOR THE FOR THE
AUTHORIZATION PROVIDED FOR IN
THE BILL.
S. BACK SCORES ARE PART OF THE
STATE'S ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM
INCLUDING THE SCHOOL DASHBOARD.
ASPECTS GORE'S ALONG WITH OTHER
STATE AND LOCAL PERFORMANCE
MEASURES EVALUATE SCHOOL AND
DISTRICT PERFORMANCE.
THERE ARE MULTIPLE REQUIREMENTS
TO INCLUDE THE RESULTS OF THESE
ASSESSMENTS IN THE STATE
ASSESSMENT SYSTEM WHICH ARE NOT
INCLUDED IN THE BELL.
CTA NOTES THAT AMENDMENTS ARE
NEEDED TO DEFINE THE WORK OF THE
STATE BOARD TO DO THE STANDARD
SETTING FOR CUT SCORES.
AND TO DEFINE GROWTH TOWARDS
PROFICIENCY ON STATE STANDARDS.
S. REPORTER FROM THESE
ASSESSMENTS [inaudible]
LAST.
CT AGREES WITH THE STAFF
SUGGESTION OF PAGES TWELVE AND
THIRTEEN TO SPECIFY THE MANNER.
IN WHICH THE BILL'S REQUIREMENTS
FOR ACCOMMODATIONS WILL BE
IMPLEMENTED.
STUDENTS WHO USE CERTAIN
ACCOMMODATIONS ARE NOT ALLOWED
TO USE IT THERE.
THAT RESULTS FROM THEIR EXAMS
FOR CONSIDERATION FOR COLLEGE
ADMISSION AS WELL AND FEDERAL
REGULATIONS ARE CLEAR THEY
SPECIFY THAT TESTS MUST PROVIDE
THE SAME BENEFITS TO ALL
STUDENTS INCLUDING ENGLISH
LEARNERS AND STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES.
CTA ASSERTS THAT IT IS NOT THE
SAME BENEFIT OF ALL STUDENTS
CANNOT USE THE TEST RESULTS IN
THE SAME WAY.
IN CLOSING THE RECOMMENDED
COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE IS
SIGNIFICANT IMPROVEMENT TO THE
BELL.
AND WE THINK THE COMMITTEE STAFF
FOR THAT AND THE AUTHOR.
AND CT URGES THE COMMITTEE AGAIN
TO ACCEPT THE RECOMMENDED
AMENDMENTS BUT ALSO IN ADDITION.
TO DEVELOP LANGUAGE ADDRESSING
THE REMAINING ISSUES RAISED.
IN THE STAFF ANALYSIS --
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE AUTHOR ON THIS IMPORTANT
ISSUE GOING FORWARD.
FIRST ONE TO RAISE CONCERNS WITH
THE BOOK.
EVELYN EVELYN.
EVELYN I WAS IN DISABILITY
RIGHTS CALIFORNIA WE REMAIN
OPPOSED TO THE BILL PARTICULARLY
ON THE PIECES WILL INTO
COMMENDATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES I THINK THE
ANALYSIS.
ON PAGE THIRTEEN ADEQUATELY
OUTLINES OUR CONCERNS AND WE
URGE THE AUTHORS OFFICE TO
CONTINUE TO WORK WITH US TO
ADDRESS THOSE CONCERNS.
THESE KINDS OF A NATIONAL EXAMS
ARE NOTORIOUS FOR DENYING CAO OF
ACCOMMODATIONS FOR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES AND THAT IS NOT
EQUAL ACCESS [inaudible]
THANK YOU [inaudible]
SIR.
BRAD STRONG GRADUATE UNTIL NOW.
I WE APPRECIATE TERM THE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT AMENDMENTS
LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THOSE
THEY WILL NOT TERM I EXPECT
REMOVE OUR OPPOSITION.
AND WE WILL --
IT WE CAN SENATE CONTINUE TO
HAVE CONCERNS ABOUT ITS
ALIGNMENT AND COMPARE.
AND HOW THE TWO ASSESSMENTS --
WILL ACTUALLY BE EQUATED TO MAKE
THAT HAPPEN THANK YOU
[inaudible]
THANK YOU.
OKAY ARE THE ITEM IS BEFORE THE
COMMITTEE FOR DISCUSSION
[inaudible]
ASSN.
ELEVEN THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR.
I ALSO SECURE SOME COMPETE
CONCERNS ABOUT THE DISABLED
COMMUNITY HOW WILL THAT BE
ADDRESSED --
TO A LIMIT YOU KNOW I I WILL
SPEAK IN GENERAL THAT MONEY
BRING UP SOMEONE.
A MORE SPECIFICALLY WHO CAN
SPEAK TO THAT.
UP POINT --
BUT I ALSO JUST WANT TO CONNECT
BEFORE RECENT. ONE I MISTER
CHAIRMAN MAY THERE WERE SOME
COMMENTS MADE BY.
BY THE SUPERINTENDENT'S OFFICE
THEY JUST KIND ONE OF A KIND
MONEY VIA A DIFFERENT POINT OF
VIEW -- THE
TALK ABOUT STUDENTS DATA BEING
SOLD THERE'S NO INTENT THAT DUE
TO THAT STUDENT DATA WILL BE
SOLD.
IT IN.
THE PROVISIONS OF THIS LAW STILL
FALL FEDERAL REQUIREMENT THAT WE
NOT GO OUT JUST HAND STUDENT
DATA I THINK WHAT HE'S TALKING
ABOUT IS THE SURVEY VISIT
OPTIONAL SURVEY AT THE BEGINNING
BUT IT THAT.
APPARENTLY IT'S MADE PRETTY
CLEAR THE STUDENTS CENTERS
OPTIONAL WAS STUDENTS MAY WISH
TO HAVE THEIR SCORE SET A
CERTAIN COLLEGES THAT I THINK WE
WANT TO BORROW AT YEAH AHEAD
AGAIN.
SO I BUT HE INTO JUST ANOTHER
POINT THERE WAS SOME TALK ABOUT
THE INTERMOUNTAIN IS TO
SUMMATIVE AT THE END OF THE YEAR
AND THEN THEY TALKED ABOUT IN
TERMS.
WHAT WE REALLY NEED IN
CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS IS CERTAINLY
THE SUMMATIVE WE WANT THAT
THAT'S THE TEST BUT WE ALSO WANT
A FORMATIVE?
OKAY AND THAT'S WHERE WE CAN
GIVE A SMALL TEST THROUGHOUT THE
YEAR. TO ADDRESS STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT WE'VE HAD A VARIETY
OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT THAT I
DON'T THINK THE PRODUCT IS WHERE
IT SHOULD BE THE ASPECT PRODUCT
IS WHERE IT SHOULD BE I DON'T
THINK IT'S TEACHER FRIENDLY.
THE US IT'S NOT STUDENT FRIENDLY
DOESN'T HELP OUR STUDENTS AND
THEN HE SPOKE ABOUT THE LIBRARY
I GOTTA BE HONEST I I CAN'T BE
ANYWHERE PLAN ABOUT THE LIBRARY
THAT'S SUPPOSED TO BE A TEACHER
TO WEAR TEACHER GOING TO THIS
LIBRARY.
AND ACCESS DIFFERENT RESOURCES
HELP STUDENTS WITH A TEST.
I JUST FIND ALIVE RATE OF
ECONOMIC QUITE FUNCTIONAL NOT
QUITE USER FRIENDLY AND DOESN'T
REALLY HAVE A LOT OF MEAT IN IT.
I MEAN I COULD GOOGLE SOMETHING
AND FIND IT MUCH QUICKER THAN I
COULD GOING TO THE LIBRARY THE
LIBRARY.
YOU KNOW I DON'T HOUSE TO SAY
I'M GONNA BE BLUNT HERE IN THE
WORD TO HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
SOCKS AGES IS NOT A TOOL THAT IS
USEFUL AND THE CLASSROOM.
OKAY WITH THAT I DID ONE BRING
UP SOME EXPERTISE TO RESPONDING
TO YOUR QUESTION SENATOR LEYVA
THANK YOU.
OR RODRIGUEZ AT THE COLLEGE
BOARD I'M IN REGARDS TO
ACCOMMODATIONS WE DID JUST
RECENTLY UPDATE OUR
ACCOMMODATIONS POLICIES.
ARE INDIAN TWENTY SEVENTEEN THEY
CONTINUE TO EVOLVE WALLACHIAN
SHARES AND IT'S MUCH MORE
STREAMLINED PROCESS AND IF IT'S
BASICALLY DEL FOR STUDENT HOUSE
AN ACCOMMODATION REQUEST AN IEP
YOUR FIVE O. FOUR IS GRANTED
THROUGH THE ACCOMMODATIONS
POLICY.
IT'S A POLICY THAT --
ALLOWS FOR ONLINE PROVIDE THEM
WHAT I THINK FOLKS ARE USED TO
IN THE PAST WHETHER IT WAS EVEN
FIVE OR FIFTEEN YEARS AGO.
WHERE PARENTS WOULD SUBMIT
INFORMATION AND DOCTOR OF
MISSION PAPERWORK IT WAS QUITE
ONEROUS --
TO ENSURE THAT KIDS WERE GETTING
THE APPROPRIATE CONDITIONS NOT
GETTING MORE THAN --
BUT NOW IT IT'S DONE THROUGH THE
SCHOOLS I AND IT'S MUCH MUCH
MUCH MORE SIMPLIFIED AND WE'VE
DONE SOME --
MOCK UPS OF THE COMMONALITIES
BETWEEN US BACK IN S. A. T.
SPECIFICALLY ACCOMMODATIONS --
IT DOESN'T HAVE TO HAVE AN I EP
IN ORDER TO HAVE AN
ACCOMMODATION MADE.
SO IF IT'S AN I EP OR FIVE OH
FOR PLAN IT'S SIMPLY GRANTED IT
IS HAS TO BE SHARED BY THE
SCHOOL SITE COORDINATOR WHETHER
THAT.
APART MY IGNORANCE WHAT IS THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AN I EP AND A
FIVE OH FOR PLAN --
SO I WOULDN'T [inaudible]
OF WHAT.
SPECIAL ADVOCACY WANTED ITEMS
ARE GOING TO THAT TO MY WELL I I
JUST WANNA UNDERSEA OF BUT IF IF
I COULD IF I COULD THOUGH MODE
WHICH IS REALLY EXPLAINING I
THINK IS THAT.
IT WHAT WE'RE WHAT WE'RE
ENSURING AS THE S. A. T. OR THE
ACT IS NOT A SEPARATE VENTURE
FROM SCHOOLS INCORPORATED IN THE
SCHOOL DAY.
AND THE SCHOOL STE PERSONNEL
HAVE BETTER FAMILIARITY WITH THE
STUDENTS NEED TO AN IP LOOKS
LIKE WHAT A FIVE OH FOUR LOOKS
LIKE SO THEY CAN GET THOSE
ACCOMMODATIONS PROVIDE A MUCH
SMOOTHER FASHION.
THAN A PARENT GOING OUT ON THEIR
OWN SEPARATE FROM THE SCHOOL
SIGNED THERE'S YOUR CHILD UP FOR
THIS TEST AND TRYING SOMEHOW. TO
ANAGE THAT PROCESS WITH I DON'T
DISAGREE WITH THAT LOGISTICS A
MUCH SMOOTHER RIGHT I I DON'T
DISAGREE THAT I I LIKE THE WHOLE
IDEA THAT IT'S EASIER FOR
PARENTS TO UNDERSTAND AND THEY
CAN HELP NAVIGATE THEIR KIDS
THROUGH BUT I JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE.
THAT YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE AN I
EP OR THIS ELUSIVE FIVE OH
FOURTH THING IN ORDER.
TO BE HAVE AN ACCOMMODATION MADE.
FOR SO WHERE THEY'RE DISCUSSING.
LET ME SEE LET ME ANSWER FOR
SMARTER BALLOTS FOR SMARTER
BALANCE IT IS A T. IT IS A
DECISION MADE --
AT THE SCHOOL SITE LEVEL AS TO
WHAT THE APPROPRIATE
ACCOMMODATIONS OR RESOURCES AND
TOOLS USED BECAUSE ENGLISH
LEARNERS DON'T HAPPEN I MEAN
PIECE -- AND
AND THERE ARE TOOLS FOR THEM --
BETTER ACCESS AND THEN THERE'S
SOME TOOLS THAT ARE AVAILABLE TO
ALL STUDENTS THE DIFFERENCE HERE
IS THAT WHAT THE NATIONAL TASK
IT IS THE NATIONAL TEST THAT THE
SITES WHERE THAT THE STUDENT
GETS THE ACCOMMODATION ARE NOT.
IN AS THE NATIONAL TEST THAT
THEN DECIDES IF THE SCORE THAT
COMES OUT OF THAT TEST IS VALID
FOR PURPOSES OF COLLEGE
ADMISSION IT'S NOT THE SCHOOL
SITE THAT MAKES THAT DECISION.
IT'S THE TEST THAT'S TRUE.
THOUGH RIGHT IF I COULD JUST A
MINUTE HERE BECAUSE OF THE
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LANGUAGE
LEARNERS IS A PERFECT EXAMPLE OF
NOT HAVING AN I EP BUT CERTAINLY --
WE WOULD GRANT ACCOMMODATIONS
FOR ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS
AND HAVE SEVERAL [inaudible]
SO THE THEY INCIDENT THAT --
MR ASHLEY IS SPEAKING --
TO WE HAVE VERY FEW INCIDENTS OF
HAVING A NON REPORTABLE SCORE --
IT IS AND I CAN ONLY SPEAK FOR
THE ICT IN THE COLLEGE BOARD IS
IT LESS THAN.
POINT 001%.
I HAD IN FACT BECAUSE MY FOLKS
WHEN WE HAD --
DURING AN SAT SCHOOL DAY AND ALL
REPORTABLE SCORE.
AND JUST FOR AN EXAMPLE THERE IS
AN ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNER. TO
WAS A FIRST YEAR TO THIS COUNTRY
SO WOULD BE EXEMPT FROM TAKING
ANY STANDARDIZED EXAM INCLUDING
S. BACK BEING IT WAS OUR FIRST
YEAR -- THEY
DECIDED BETWEEN THEIR PARENTS IN
THEIR TEACHERS AND WITH THE
STUDENT THAT THE STUDENT WANTED
TO TAKE THE MATH PORTION OF THE
SAT.
FELT VERY COMFORTABLE WANTED TO
DEMONSTRATE THE STUDENT SKILLS
ON MATT AND HAVE SOME
FAMILIARITY THE STUDENT DID NOT
WANT TO TAKE THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE PORTION.
OF THE MUSEUM MAKES SENSE.
SCORE BECAUSE IT WAS ONLY HALF
OF A SCORE NOW IF A STUDENT
TAKES THIS HOUSE WITH OTHER
COMBINATIONS WHETHER IT'S DUE TO
THEIR IT HERE THE FIVE A FOUR
ETCETERA.
THAT DOES NOT MEAN THAT THEIR
SCORES NOT REPORTABLE ISN'T
TRUCK FOR AFFORDABLE.
SO MY QUESTION IS TO THE POINT
THAT THE GENTLEMAN MADE ABOUT
THE NATIONAL TESTING A NATIONAL
TEST THAT THEY ARE IN CONTROL OF
WHO.
WHO THEY CONTROL WHO GETS TO
MAKE ACCOMMODATIONS SO IF YOU
ASK IF YOU SAY ó YOU KNOW WHAT
WE UNDERSTAND THE STUDENT NEEDS
MORE TIME TO READ OR THEY HAVE
AN IEP OR WHATNOT?
WE'RE GONNA MAKE THAT
ACCOMMODATION DO YOU HAVE TO GET
THAT APPROVED BY SAT OR ACT.
THERE FOR THE AS A T. THAT IS
SUBMITTED TO THE AS EACH YEAR
YOU DON'T HAVE CONTROL OVER THAT
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DOES NOT
HAVE CONTROL OVER THAT.
RIGHT THE SUBMIT IT AND PART OF
THAT IS TO ENSURE THAT THEIR
COMBINATIONS ARE PROVIDED SO IF
THERE FOR EXAMPLE YOU NEEDED A
BRAILLE.
BOOK THAT WE SENT ROBOT ARM SO
IT IS SENT TO THE COLLEGE BOARD
AS IN THE COLLEGE BOARD APPROVES
IT AND MAKE SURE THAT THE
ACCOMMODATIONS ARE GIVEN.
BUT BUT AGAIN I GO BACK TO THE
SCHOOL WHO KNOWS THE CHILD
DOESN'T HAVE THE ABILITY TO MAKE
THE ACCOMMODATION WITHOUT THE
APPROVAL FROM THE TEST MAKER
WHICH IS THE SAT.
YES MY WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO
SHARE WITH YOU IS AT THE SCHOOL
LEVEL WE HAVE TESTING
COORDINATORS WHO ENSURE THAT ALL
STUDENTS TO HAVE AN IEP.
SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS
RECEIVE THE ACCOMMODATIONS THAT
ARE SPECIFIC TO THEIR I EP.
IF A STUDENT IS A IS IS A ARE
RECORDED ENGLISH LANGUAGE
LEARNER THAT STUDENT WILL ALSO
RECEIVE THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS AS
WELL.
A FIVE WILL FOR STUDENT THE SAME --
FAIBLE FORDS ARE A LITTLE
DIFFERENT BUT THEY DO REQUIRE
ACCOMMODATIONS SOMETIMES AND IT
REALLY IS UP TO THE LOCAL SCHOOL
IN THE TESTING COORDINATORS WHO
ARE FAMILIAR WITH THE NEEDS OF
EVERY CHILD. TO ENSURE THAT
THOSE ACCOMMODATIONS ARE
PROVIDED WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS
THAT THE NATIONAL TESTING AS A
T. CANNOT DENY THAT.
CORRECT I MEAN EIGHT OZ SPECIAL
ED IS A FEDERAL --
YOU KNOW --
BECAUSE LEGISLATIONS.
THAT'S IN CONFLICT WITH WHAT SHE
SAID SHE SAID THAT THE SAT CAN'T
DENY THE ACCOMMODATION.
THAT THEY SUBMIT IT.
AND THEN THE SAT SAYS YES WE
COMMITTEE ACCOMMODATION OR NO WE
CAN'T MAKE THE ACCOMMODATION.
WELL I THINK WHAT WHAT I HEARD
IS THAT THE IT BECAUSE EVERY
ACCOMMODATION IS UNIQUE FOR
EXAMPLE IF THERE IS A BRAILLE.
BOOK OR SOMETHING --
IT WOULD GO THROUGH A REVIEW
PROCESS WITH THEM TO ENSURE THAT --
IT IS IT IS FAIR AND JUSTIFIABLE
BUT FOR THE MOST PART EVERY
ACCOMMODATION FOR OUR STUDENTS
HAS GRANTED.
RIGHT I MINUTES I I BELIEVE IN
WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO DO BUT I
REALLY DO HAVE SOME SERIOUS
CONCERNS OVER OUR DISABLED
COMMUNITY IN OUR DISABLED
STUDENTS I'M GONNA LAY OFF THE
BILL TODAY.
AND HOPEFULLY SOME OF THAT STUFF
CAN GET WORKED OUT AND WHEN HE
GETS THE SENATE FLOOR CAN
SUPPORT IT THANK YOU ALL FOR
YOUR HELP.

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR
ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT TODAY ON
AB SEVENTEEN SIXTY SEVEN AS WE
KNOW SEVERAL UNDERGRADUATES EACH
YEAR RELY ON FEDERAL STUDENT
LOANS TO ENROLL AND COMPLETE
COLLEGE.
YET GROWING STUDENT DEBT FOR
RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES IS A
CONCERNING ISSUE THAT WE AS A
LEGISLATURE AND AS A STATE ARE
CONTINUING TO ADDRESS.
THE INSTITUTE FOR COLLEGE ACCESS
AND SUCCESS FOUND THAT THE
AVERAGE PERCENTAGE OF STUDENTS
IN DOT.
ORG CALIFORNIA GRADUATE A PUBLIC
OR PRIVATE NONPROFIT COLLEGE IS
54% WITH THE TOTAL DEBT AVERAGE
OF OVER TWENTY TWO THOUSAND PER
GRADUATE.
STUDENT LOAN COMPANIES OFTEN
PROVIDE RECENT GRADUATES WITH
THE SIX MONTH GRACE PERIOD
BEFORE THEY ARE REQUIRED TO
BEGAN THEIR LOAN REPAYMENTS
HOWEVER SIX MONTHS IS GENERALLY
NOT ENOUGH TIME TO FOR MANY
RECENT GRADUATES.
AND FACT VULNERABLE STUDENTS
STRUGGLE TO STAY ON TOP OF THEIR
PAYMENTS AND END UP DEFAULTING
DUE TO THE DIFFICULTIES OF
EITHER ENTERING THE WORKFORCE OR
ADJUSTING TO POST GRADUATE LIFE.
THIS HIGHLIGHTS IS INSUFFICIENT
TIME STUDENTS HAVE TO CONSIDER
CAREER OPTIONS AND HINDERS
EDUCATIONAL AND EMPLOYMENT
OPPORTUNITIES WHAT STAGNATING
STUDENTS ABILITY TO EXPERIENCED
ABILITY.
AB SEVENTEEN SIXTY SEVEN WILL
PROVIDE UP TO TWO YEARS A DEBT
RELIEF FOR FEDERAL STUDENT LOANS
MEET CERTAIN CRITERIA.
IT IS --
ACTUALLY REPLICATES AN EXISTING
PROGRAM THAT IS ADMINISTERED BY
THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
THIS IS A NEED A POLICY THAT
WILL SET OUR STUDENTS UPPER
SUCCESS IT WILL OFFER THEM.
FINANCIAL SUPPORT THAT THEY NEED
TO PROTECT THEM FROM POSSIBLE
DOT WITH ME TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT OF THE BILL IS JARED.
JEER RUSSO FROM THE CALIFORNIA
STATE STUDENT ASSOCIATION AS
WELL AS CAROLINE SEEING FROM THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA STUDENT
ASSOCIATION AND ASSOCIATED
STUDENTS EXTERNAL.
VICE PRESIDENT OF UC SAN DIEGO.
GOOD AFTERNOON --
CHAIR ALAN AND MEMBERS ON MY
NAME AGAIN.
ACTOR DIRECTOR FOR THE CAL
SIXTEEN ASSOCIATION --
WHICH REPRESENTS THE NEARLY HALF
A MILLION I'M CSU STUDENTS
STATEWIDE --
THANK YOU TO THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
FOR HER LEADERSHIP IN CARRYING
THIS BILL.
I WANNA TALK ABOUT THE NEED FOR
THE CALIFORNIA KICKSTART MY
FUTURE LOAN FORGIVENESS PROGRAM
BY SPEAKING ABOUT THE EQUITY
ISSUES REGARDING WHO NEED TO
TAKE OUT THAT IN THE CSU.
AND THE POTENTIAL CHANGES TO
LOAN SUBSIDY OF FORGIVENESS
PROGRAMS AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.
FOR PUBLIC UNIVA FOR A PUBLIC
UNIVERSITY SYSTEM LIKE THE CSU
FOR TUITION IS AMONG THE LOWEST
IN THE COUNTRY AND WHERE NEARLY
TWO OUT OF EVERY THREE STUDENTS.
DOES NOT PAY TUITION AT ALL DUE
TO A COMBINATION OF SYSTEM STATE
AND FEDERAL AID PROGRAMS MANY
WOULD ASSUME THAT A CSU DEGREE
IS AFFORDABLE.
YET FINANCIALLY NEED --
NEEDY STUDENTS CONTINUE TO FACE
VERY REAL CHALLENGES AFFORDING
ALL OF THE COSTS NECESSARY TO
EARN A COLLEGE DEGREE.
THIS IS REFLECTED IN THE DEBT
BURDENS THAT FALL MORE HEAVILY
ON UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS IN
THE CSU.
THE CELTICS IN ASSOCIATION AND
COLLABORATION WITH T. BECAUSE
THE INSTITUTE FOR COLLEGE ACCESS
AND SUCCESS PUP PUBLISHED REPORT.
LAST YEAR WHICH INVESTIGATED THE
ISSUE OF WHICH STUDENTS HOLD
DEBT IN THE CSU.
IT FOUND THAT NEARLY EATEN TEN
STUDENTS FOR THE BACHELORS
DEGREE WHO BORROWED CAME FROM A
FAMILY --
WITH INCOMES NO GREATER THAN
FIFTY FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS A
YEAR.
ADDITIONALLY WHILE 47% WHITE
STUDENTS HAD DEBT WHEN THEY
GRADUATED 57% OF HISPANIC OR
LATINO GRADUATES HAD DONE AND
76% OF BLACK OR AFRICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS GRADUATED WITH THAT.
EVEN THOUGH THE AVERAGE EFFORT
CSU GRADUATES IS BELOW THE
NATIONAL AVERAGE THIS REPORT
SHOWED THAT WHEN YOU SLICE THE
NUMBERS THAT DEBT WAS
DISPROPORTIONATELY HELD BY
STUDENTS OF COLOR AND LOW INCOME
STUDENTS.
IN ADDITION AS WAS MENTIONED
RESEARCH ALSO CONDUCTED BY TKO
SHOW THAT FIRST GENERATION
STUDENTS PAL RECIPIENTS AND
UNDERREPRESENTED STUDENTS ALL
SHOWED HIGHER RATES OF STUDENT
LOAN DEFAULT. FOR THESE REASONS
ALONE A PROGRAM LIKE THE ONE
CREATED IN AB SEVENTEEN SIXTY
SEVEN IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL TO
GIVE THE STUDENTS A BIT OF
FINANCIAL RELIEF.
SO THAT THEY CAN HOPEFULLY NOT
BE SADDLED WITH DEBT THAT THEY
CAN STRUGGLE TO FULLY PAY OFF OR
POTENTIALLY DEFAULT ON
ADDITIONALLY OUR ORGANIZATION AS
WELL AS MAY.
THE ORGANIZATIONS ARE DEEPLY
CONCERNED ABOUT PROPOSALS AT THE
FEDERAL LEVEL THAT MAY
NEGATIVELY IMPACT PROGRAMS
DESIGNED DESIGNED TO SUPPORT
STUDENTS WHO NEED TO TAKE OUT
LOANS ARE WHO OUT DEAD.
CURRENTLY BEING PROPOSED IN
FEDERAL AYE AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL
IN EACH ARE FORTY FIVE OH EIGHT
OR THE PROSPECT IS AN
ELIMINATION OF SUBSIDIZED LOANS
FOR UNDERGRADUATES.
AND POTENTIALLY THE ELIMINATION
OF PUBLIC SERVICE LOAN
FORGIVENESS PROGRAMS.
ALL OF THESE CHANGES IF
IMPLEMENTED WOULD HAVE A
DEVASTATING IMPACT ON STUDENTS
TO TAKE OUT LOANS TO COMPLETE
THEIR EDUCATION.
IN ADDITION WE HAVE DEEP
CONCERNS ABOUT THE STATUS OF THE
CONSUMER FINANCIAL PROTECTION
BUREAU AND THEIR ABILITY TO BE
THE LAST LINE OF DEFENSE FOR
STUDENT BORROWERS AND DEBT
HOLDERS.
EVEN THOUGH STATES LIKE
CALIFORNIA ARE FULL ARE LOOKING
TO FILL THE NEW GAP WITH RESPECT
TO FINANCIAL PROTECTIONS FOR
STUDENTS.
THE CURRENT ADMINISTRATION IS
ALSO LOOKING TO PREEMPT STATES
FROM BEING ABLE TO REGULATE
FINANCIAL PRODUCTS LIKE STUDENT
LOANS.
ALL OF THESE CHANGES IN IMPACTS
THE FEDERAL LEVEL SHOW HOW
ABSOLUTELY CRUCIAL A PROGRAM
LIKE THE CALIFORNIA KICKSTAND.
KICKSTART MY LOAN FORGIVENESS
PROGRAM IS NEEDED NOW MORE THAN
EVER TO PROVIDE SOME LEVEL OF
RELIEF FROM PROTECTION FOR OUR
STUDENT LOAN BORROWERS WE ARE GI
AND AYE VOTE TODAY ON ON THE
BILL THANK YOU.
THANK YOU IS FOUND HELLO MY
NAME'S CAROLYN SEEING AS THE EVP
AT UC SAN DIEGO I REPRESENT
ROUGHLY THIRTY THOUSAND
UNDERGRADS HOWEVER AS A YOU SEE
STERN ASSOCIATION.
A MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF
DIRECTORS I REPRESENT UC'S GENTS
STATEWIDE.
THE AVERAGE STUDENT DATA
ACCUMULATED BY GRADUATION
CALIFORNIA'S NOW 210-00 DOLLARS
THREE HUNDRED EIGHTY DOLLARS.
AT MY OWN INSTITUTION UC SAN
DIEGO THE AVERAGE DEBT UPON
GRADUATION IS SLIGHTLY MORE THAN.
TWENTY ONE THOUSAND WELL THOSE
NUMBERS AN AVERAGE I WOULD LIKE
TO STRESS MUCH LIKE HE DID BUT
THIS BURDEN IS NOT EQUITABLE.
AS WE'VE BEEN SEEING A STATEWIDE
HOUSING CRISIS MERGE WE'VE SEEN
THE TOTAL COST OF ATTENDANCE
INCREASE FOR CENTS WITHOUT AN
INCREASE IN AVAILABLE FINANCIAL
AID.
LOW INCOME STUDENTS
UNDERREPRESENTED MINORITIES AND
FIRST GENERATION COLLEGE
STUDENTS ARE THE ONES WHO ARE
MORE IMPACTED WERE THE STUDENTS
WHO HAVE TO TAKE OUT MORE LOANS
ON TOP OF WORKING AT LEAST ONE
JOB JUST TO COVER BASIC NEEDS
SUCH AS HOUSING AND FOOD.
IN LA HOYA FOR EXAMPLE HOUSING
OFF CAMPUS IS ABOUT FOURTEEN
HUNDRED DOLLARS FOR A SINGLE
ROOM.
THIS BILL SEEKS EMPLOYMENT ALONE
PROBLEM OF LONG PROGRAM THAT
ONCE ADMINISTERED BY C. SOKOL
ALLOW STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE WITH
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF DEBT TO
GET A HEAD START IN THEIR
PROFESSIONAL CAREER.
WITHOUT HAVING TO DEAL WITH THE
BURDEN OF DEBT.
THE IMPACT OF PROGRAMS LIKE THIS
GO BEYOND JUST REPAINT JENDA
BECAUSE AND A CONSUMER BASED
ECONOMY LIKE THIS --
THE BILL COULD HAVE IMPORTANT
RAMIFICATIONS FOR BOTH SHORT AND
LONG TERM FINANCIAL DECISIONS
MADE BY YOU SEE GRADUATES. SIX
MONTHS IS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR
SOME STUDENTS AND OUR GRADUATES
DESERVED OPPORTUNITIES THAT THIS
BILL WILL PROVIDE.

SIMILAR WITNESS PROTECTIONS THAT

OTHER LEGAL SETTINGS.
THIS BILL WILL SIMPLY PROVIDE
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGES WITH
THE DISCRETION TO USE A CLOSED
CIRCUIT TELEVISION.
OR VIDEOTAPE DEPOSITION AT
ALTERNATIVE TO AN END HEARING
TESTIMONY BY STUDENT.
THIS BILL WILL ALSO REQUIRE THAT
A SUPPORT PERSON BE APPOINTED TO
CHILD WITNESSES TO ACCOMPANY
THEM DOODLE ENTIRE PROCESS.
ALLOWING THE USE OF THESE
PROTECTION WILL REDUCE THE RISK
OF TRAUMA THAT CAN OCCUR WHEN
VICTIMS FACED THEIR ABUSER.

PROCEEDINGS THOSE ARE THE
EGREGIOUS ONLY PROCEEDINGS.
IN SHORT TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT THE
AUTHOR HAS JUST SAID THIS BILL
SEEKS TO AFFORD LEGAL
PROTECTIONS FOR MINOR WITNESSES
THAT THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN ANY
OTHER LEGAL PROCEEDING.
HOWEVER BECAUSE THE CHILD'S
ALLEGATIONS ARE LITIGATED AND
ADMINISTRATIVE COURT THEY ARE
NOT PROVIDED THESE RIGHTS.
ADMINISTRATIVE LAW JUDGES HAVE
SOME DISCRETION UNDER EXISTING
LAW TO APPLY CERTAIN PROTECTIONS
FOR MINOR WITNESSES.
HOWEVER THERE IS NO CONSISTENCY

INCONSISTENCY IS DUE TO THE LACK
OF STATUTORY GUIDELINES

YES MA'AM.
I EMILY STILL LUIS AND I AM HERE
MY PERSONAL CAPACITY AM URGING
YOUR SUPPORT ON THAT MEASURE.
SOME OF YOU HAVE WORKED WITH YOU
EITHER IN MY CLASS IS A LOBBYIST
OR MY PREVIOUS TENNIS A STAFFER.
BUT WHAT MANY OF YOU DON'T KNOW
IS I WAS A TEEN MOTHER --
SOPHOMORE YEAR IN HIGH SCHOOL I
BECAME PREGNANT I WAS.
FIFTEEN LIVED IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY ALREADY A VERY HARD UNDER
RESOURCE REGION.
BUT PUTTING IN A TEEN PREGNANCY
LAYERED ON TOP OF THAT ONLY
FURTHER COMPLICATED LIFE.
UPON NOTIFYING SCHOOL OFFICIALS
ABOUT MY PREGNANCY IT WAS MADE
CLEAR THE STAYING WITHIN A
TRADITIONAL SCHOOL SETTING WAS
NOT AN OPTION IT WAS MADE FOR ME
BY AND SCHOOL OFFICIALS.
NOT DIG INTO ANY CONTEXT MY
BACKGROUND MACDERMOT HISTORY OR
WHAT I WANTED TO DO IN TERMS OF
GOING TO COLLEGE.
I WAS TOLD THIS WAS FOR MY OWN
GOOD TO ENTER INDEPENDENT STUDY
PROGRAM THIS IS NOT.
YOU KNOW THIS WAS NOW EIGHTEEN
YEARS AGO THIS IS STILL WHAT'S
HAPPENING TODAY ACROSS THE STATE
OR BEING TOLD WHAT'S BEST FOR
YOU.
AND NOT TAKE IN CONSIDERATION.
WHERE YOUR PATHWAY FOR EDUCATION
OUTCOMES?
ONETIME IN LONG TERM EARNING
POTENTIALS WILL EVEN PLAY INTO
IT.
AND WHEN WE'RE TALKING ABOUT YOU
KNOW WHAT THE TYPES MATERIALS
ARE COVERED IS INDEPENDENT STUDY
PROGRAMS.
THEY ARE NOT.
ALL THE SAME PATHWAY AS A
TRADITIONAL SCHOOL SETTING THE
MATERIALS ARE YOU KNOW FOR ME IF
THEY WERE FILL IN THE YOU KNOW
BLANK.
AND BUBBLE STYLE MULTIPLE CHOICE
WORKBOOKS NOT THE SAME AS
LEARNING WITHIN A CLASSROOM.
FINISHING THE PROGRAM ENDS
LOOKING INTO WHAT MY OPTIONS
WERE FOR COLLEGE BECAUSE THAT
WAS THE GOLDEN TICKET.
YOU CAN FINISH COLLEGE YOU CAN
OVERCOME A TEEN PREGNANCY
SITUATION YOU'LL HAVE THE
ABILITY TO HAVE LONG TERM
EARNING.
IT WILL HAVE A CAREER IN A BILL
TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR CHILD'S.
APPLYING TO SCHOOLS AND TALKING
ABOUT WHAT RESOURCES WERE
AVAILABLE.
IT WAS.
IT WITH THE MOST UP CONFUSION
YOU COULD HEAR ON THE PHONE
PEOPLE DID NOT EVEN UNDERSTAND
WHAT YOU WERE ASKING THEM.
FAMILY HOUSING FOR AN INCOMING
FRESHMAN CLASSES THAT HOW DO YOU
CONVERT INDEPENDENT STUDY OVER
INTO.
A AS A FRESHMAN IT'S IS
INSTANTLY PROGRAMS BE JUSTIN
EXPECT US TO BE THERE.
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME IN MY
LIFE I TRULY FELT THROWN AWAY.
I DIDN'T KNOW THE STATISTICS AT
THAT AGE.
AS A TEENAGER I DIDN'T KNOW THAT
ALREADY JUST FINISHING A HIGH
SCHOOL DIPLOMA WAS.
THAT WAS DEFYING THE ODDS.
BUT TO GET INTO COLLEGE WASN'T
2% OF THESE.
YOUNG MOTHERS ARE GOING TO EARN
A DEGREE BY THE TIME THEY'RE
THIRTY SO IT TOOK ME TEN YEARS
WITH MY PARTNER ANTO WE RAISE
OUR DAUGHTER BUT IT TOOK A
DECADE OF SOCIAL ASSISTANCE.
LOTS OF PROGRAMMING AND TO
FINALLY FINISH SCHOOL ABOUT
WORKING FULL TIME THAT WAS TEN
YEARS OF RECEIVING AID.
SOME TYPE OF ASSISTANCE HOW WE
HAD A BETTER PATHWAY TO COMPLETE
OUR DEGREES TO BE ABLE.
TO YOU KNOW TRANSITION WITH AT
LEAST A LITTLE FUNNY BUT
DUCATION UNDER OUR BELTS HOW
MANY YEARS BECAUSE WE HAVE
SHAVED OFF.
THE YEAR I GRADUATED FROM
COLLEGE I WAS.
TWENTY SIX THAT IS THE THEORY
STARTED THE SENATE.
IS THE FIRST YEAR THAT OFFER
FOOD STAMPS.
WITH THE TRANSITION THAT WAS IN
OUR LIFE I THOUGHT BEING A LEAD
SHEET WAS LIFE CHANGING FOR
SALARY.
NOW DON'T GET ANY FUNNY IDEAS
LIKE CUTS IS A DOUBLE THE SALARY
I JUST DIDN'T KNOW ANY BETTER
BECAUSE I HAD BEEN FOR A DECADE.
LIVING IN POVERTY.
SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT GIVING
TRUE PATHWAYS WE HAVE TO START
REVAMPING OLD POLICIES AND WHAT
DOES IT MEAN TO LOOK AT THINGS
THAT PERPETUATE POVERTY.
THIS MEASURE IS GOING TO BE
REASONABLE IT'S ENSURING THAT
TEENS ARE ABLE TO OVERCOME.
A PARENTING IN ON FIREMAN BUT
THEY'RE NOT BEING PIPELINED OUT
OF EDUCATION SYSTEM IT'S
PROMOTING HEALTHCARE OUTCOMES.
PARENT CHILD BONDING WHICH IS
IMPORTANT.
AND IT MAKES CLEAR TO EVERYONE
SHOULD HAVE ACCESS TO EQUAL
EDUCATION.

GOOD MORNING MY NAME IS DOCTOR
NANCY BURKE CLASS ON AN
ADOLESCENT HEALTH RESEARCHER AT
THE UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN
FRANCISCO AND FOR MORE THAN
FIFTEEN YEARS I'VE EVALUATED SEX
EDUCATION PROGRAMS.
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA I'M IN
THAT TIME OUR STATE HAS MADE
GREAT STRIDES IN IMPROVING THE
HEALTH OF ADOLESCENTS IN THIS IS
ATTRIBUTABLE IN PART TO
CALIFORNIA'S COMMITMENT TO
COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL HEALTH
INFORMATION AND SERVICES FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE.
RESEARCHER RESEARCH MAKES CLEAR
THAT SEX EDUCATION AND ADDRESSES
BOTH ABSENCE OF BIRTH CONTROL
CAN HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON
ADOLESCENTS AND NEW RESEARCH
SHOWS THAT ADDITIONAL IMPACT
WHEN EDUCATORS TALK WITH
STUDENTS ABOUT GENDER
STEREOTYPES.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION SEXUAL
HARASSMENT CONSENT AND HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIPS ADOLESCENTS TURNED
TO MANY SOURCES TO LEARN ABOUT
SEX AND RELATIONSHIPS THEIR
FRIENDS THEIR PARENTS SIBLINGS
MOVIES TV AND THE INTERNET.
AND OFTEN THE INFORMATION THEY
FIND IS CONFUSING MISLEADING ARE
JUST WRONG.
THE CALIFORNIA HEALTHY USE ACT
INSURES THAT STUDENTS HAVE THE
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS TO
UNDERSTAND THEIR BODIES FORM
RESPECTFUL IN CONSENSUAL
RELATIONSHIPS AND PROTECT THEIR
SEXUAL HEALTH.
A FEW YEARS AGO I WORKED ON
EVALUATION OF A NEW SEX
EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR NINTH
GRADE STUDENTS IN TEN CHARTER
SCHOOLS IN LOS ANGELES.
AND IT COVERED THE COMPREHENSIVE
RANGE OF TOPICS NOW REQUIRED BY
THE CALIFORNIA HELP THESE ACT.
UNFORTUNATELY THE CLASSES ENDED
WHEN THE STUDY ENDED.
STUDENTS IN CHARTER SCHOOLS NEED
THE SAME INFORMATION IS THEIR
PEERS OF TRADITIONAL SCHOOL
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A RECENT STUDY IN CONCEDING
KOKANEE HAS SHOWN THAT SEX
EDUCATION RECEIVED BY CHARTER
SCHOOL STUDENTS IS OFTEN LACKING.
THIS IS NOT EQUITABLE ALL YOUNG
PEOPLE NEED AND DESERVE ACCESS
TO ACCURATE COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL
HEALTH INFORMATION AB.
TWO TWENTY SIX OH ONE RECOGNIZES
TH NEED OF TH GROWING NUMBER
OF STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA
CHARTER SCHOOLS.

STRONG AND EVIDENCE BASED
FOUNDATION AND SEXUAL HEALTH
THANK YOU.
THE MORNING MISTER CHAIR AND

EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR OASIS FOR

THE PARENT OF A STUDENT WHO'S
BEEN ATTENDING.
OAKLAND CHARTER SCHOOL SINCE THE
FIRST GRADE AND NEXT YEAR SHE'LL
BE IN THE TENTH GRADE --
IN OAKLAND A ONE THIRD OF THE
SCHOOLS ARE CHARTER SCHOOLS IN
JUST UNDER FOURTEEN THOUSAND
STUDENTS --
R. ATTEND THEM IN ROME CHARTER
SCHOOLS HAVE INCREASED BY ALMOST
FOUR THOUSAND IN THE LAST FIVE
YEARS AND MANY OF THE CHARTER
SCHOOLS IN OAKLAND ARE IN LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES OF COLOR.
WHERE THEY HAVE HIGH TEEN BIRTH
RATES AND I CAN ATTEST THAT
WHILE SOME CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
OFFERING SUCH A SEX EDUCATION
THEY ARE NOT FOLLOWING THE
MANDATES THAT ARE SET FORTH IN
THE CALIFORNIA HEALTHY YOUTH
ACTS?
A MY DAUGHTER RECEIVE SEXUAL
HEALTH EDUCATION IN THE SEVENTH
AND NINTH GRADES AT THAT SAME
CHARTER SCHOOL.
AND A SEVENTH GRADE MY DAUGHTER
SPEND LESS THAN FIVE HOURS ON
SEXUAL HEALTH CURRICULUM FOCUSED
ONLY ON SD I THINK CONDOM USE.
AND IT WASN'T UNTIL THE END OF
NINTH GRADE WHERE SHE WAS TAUGHT
ABOUT HOW PREGNANCY OCCURS BIRTH
CONTROL AND PREGNANCY OPTIONS.
AND I NEVER CLASSES INCLUDE
OTHER CRITICAL TOPICS THAT ARE
MANDATED IN CALIFORNIA HEALTHY
YOUTH ACT SUCH AS SEXUAL
HARASSMENT SEXUAL ORIENTATION
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUAL
ASSAULT.
AND THESE TOPICS SHOULD NOT BE
LEFT OUT OF CURRICULUM IS
STUDENTS BECOME MORE INVOLVED IN
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIPS AND
BECOME SEXUALLY ACTIVE.
IN ADDITION IN HER SCHOOL THE
TEACHERS --
WERE IN CONTROL OF WHAT THE
CURRICULUM WISE IN THE CREATED
INSIDE IT SO THERE ARE NO SO
THERE ARE NO STANDARDS IN THE
CONTENT RELIED ON THE TEACHER'S
KNOWLEDGE AND COMFORT OF SEXUAL
HEALTH TOPICS.

MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU
FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT SOME
OF BILL.
TWENTY SEVEN FORTY SEVEN I
APPRECIATE THAT YEAR COMMITTEES
WORK ON THIS BILL A WHILE.
IMPROVEMENTS OF THE WAY.
OUR COLLEGE ATHLETES ARE TREATED
AND HAVE BEEN MADE OVER THE PAST
TWO DECADES.
IT HAPPENED DIDN'T HAPPEN OUT OF
THE GOODNESS OF THE NC TO ACE
HEART.
IT HAPPENED BECAUSE ATHLETES AND
ADVOCATES FOUGHT FOR FAIRNESS
AND QUESTION THE SYSTEM THAT IS
EXPORTED.
THIS BILL SEEKS TO GIVE COLLEGE
ATHLETES EVEN MORE TOOLS OF
PROTECTION TO ADDRESS THE
CHALLENGES OR ABUSES THEY MAY
FACE ON CAMPUS.
WE CONSTANTLY SEE EXAMPLES OF
COLLEGE STUDENTS AND ATHLETES
DEALING WITH ABUSE.
ASSEMBLY BILL TWENTY SEVEN FORTY
SEVEN SEEKS TO ADDRESS.
DRESSED PROBLEM AND I WOULD NEW
WAY BY EDUCATING AND EQUIPPING
[inaudible]
COLLEGE ATHLETES TO BE EVEN
BETTER ADVOCATES FOR THEMSELVES
AND PROTECTING THEM AS THEY DO
IT.
THE REQUIRES SCHOOLS TO INFORM
STUDENTS OF THEIR RIGHTS AND
DOCUMENTATION AND PUBLIC SIGNAGE
INCLUDING WHO THEY'RE MANDATED
REPORTERS ARE.
IT ALSO PROTECTS STUDENTS BY
PROHIBITING RETALIATION BY
SCHOOLS OF THE STUDENT REPORTS
VIOLATIONS.
OF ANY OF THE STUDENT ATHLETE
THE BILL OF RIGHTS.
IT ALSO ALLOWS SCHOOLS TO CREATE
A DEGREE COMPLETION FUN.
WHICH IS A MECHANISM SCHOOLS
CONFUSED THE CURRENT. TO AND
SHOES HOW IT WILL BE USED.
JUST TO BE CLEAR MY GOAL WAS NOT
TO CAUSE AN INSTITUTION TO
VIOLATE INSITU A BYLAWS.
I HAVE ADDED INTENT LANGUAGES TO
THE BILL TO MAKE IT CLEAR THAT
NOTHING AND THE BILL IS MEANT TO
VIOLATE OR CAUSE A VIOLATION.
OF THE IN SITU A BYLAWS.
THIS BILL IS PERSONAL TO ME.
BEFORE I STARTED MY JOURNEY IN
PUBLIC SERVICE I PLAYED COLLEGE
BASKETBALL AT SAN DIEGO STATE
MAY HAVE YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW
THAT.
WHILE THE NC TWO A WAS NOT THE
MULTI BILLION DOLLAR
ORGANIZATION IS TODAY I HAVE
FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE AND KNOW
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE A COLLEGE
ATHLETE.
IS COLLEGE ATHLETES ARE PUTTING
EVERYTHING ON THE LINE AND
RISKING THEIR BODIES AND FOR
SOME ONE INJURY AWAY FROM LOSING
EVERYTHING.
OTHERS ARE AT RISK OF LOSING IT
ALL FOR SPEAKING OUT FOR THEIR
TEAM OR ANY ABUSES THERE
EXPERIENCING US COLLEGE COACHES
HAVE THE POWER TO KEEP.
YOU ON OR OFF THE TEAM.
I RECENTLY SPOKE TO THE
AFFLICTED ATHLETIC DIRECTOR AND
FORMER COACH OF MY ALMA MATER.
THEY TOLD ME ABOUT THE GREAT
WAYS THEY ARE SUPPORTING STUDENT
ATHLETES AND I APPLAUD THEM FOR
THEIR WORK.
I APPLAUD ALL SCHOOLS THAT ARE
DOING THE GOOD WORK OF
PROTECTING COLLEGE ATHLETES
HEALTH.
ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND ECONOMIC
FUTURE.
HOWEVER NOT EVERY SCHOOL DOES
THIS.
I AM WILLING TO ADDRESS THE
ISSUES RAISED ANY ANALYSIS AND
BY THE SCHOOLS TO CLARIFY THAT
AN ACT IS ONLY CONSIDERED
RETALIATION IF IT IS DIRECTLY
RELATED. TO FILING A COMPLAINT
AND NOT RELATED TO ATHLETIC
PERFORMANCE.
THIS BILL HAS RECEIVED
BIPARTISAN SUPPORT AND I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR EUROPE.
THE QUEUE OF WHICH SUPPORT.
GOOD AFTERNOON JANICE WITH
CROWLEY ON BEHALF OF THE
AMERICAN ASSOCIATION OF
UNIVERSITY WOMEN.
WE APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR
INTRODUCING THIS BILL AND OF
PARTICULAR INTEREST WAS HIS
TITLE.
NINE AND JUST HOW IMPORTANT
TITLE NINE ONE ONE ASPECT A
TITLE NINE IS EQUITY IN SCHOOL
ATHLETICS --
IN NINETEEN SEVENTY TWO THE
RECEIPT OF FEW PERCENTAGE OF
WOMEN --
PLAYING SPORTS IN COLLEGE AND
THERE WERE VERY FEW NOW IT'S 43%
OF THE COLLEGE ATHLETES ARE
WOMEN.
BACK IN SEVENTY TWO THERE WERE
NO -- PTLY
ARE NO SCHOLARSHIPS FOR WOMEN I
AND NOW WOMEN ARE GETTING
SCHOLARSHIPS TO SOFTBALL
VOLLEYBALL KINDS OF SPORTS.
AND I'M ALSO THAT JUST THAT
THOUGH TITLE NINE BENEFITS I'M.
PLEASE WOMEN ARE LESS LIKELY TO
PARTICIPATE IN RISKY BEHAVIORS.
THEIR IMPROVE THEIR COGNITIVE
ABILITIES THEY HAVE A STRONGER
COLLEGE INSPIRATIONS MORE LIKELY
TO GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE AND
HAVE WILL HAVE A MORE
PROFESSIONAL WORK ETHIC WHEN
THEY'RE OUT OF COLLEGE.
SO TITLE NINE HAS BEEN
ABSOLUTELY AND WE CONSIDER IT
ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S GREATEST
CIVIL RIGHTS I'M SUCCESS STORIES.

WHAT THEIR RIGHTS ARE AND HOW TO
ENFORCE THEM UNDER TITLE NINE SO

NOW BUT WE HAVE ALL BEEN VERY
CLEAR THAT WE KNOW ON THAT WE
NEED TO INCREASE CAPACITY AND
THAT WE CAN'T INCREASE CAPACITY
WITHOUT BEING ABLE.
TO A FUNDS INJECTED INTO THE
SYSTEM -- SO
WE ARE HERE TODAY TO CONTINUE
THIS FORWARD AS WILL WE WILL
KNOW THAT THERE'S ANOTHER BOND
ON THE SENATE SIDE AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO THE TIME THAT WE ALL
SIT DOWN TOGETHER BEEN HASHED
THESE THINGS OUT.
HOME AND BE ABLE TO BELIEVE IT I
THINK MAKE AN INVESTMENT IN THE
FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA.
IT SHARED MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO
FIRST THANK MY COLLEAGUES DR
EGGMAN AND DOCTOR WEBER FOR
THEIR STRONG LEADERSHIP ON THIS
ISSUE AS A JOINT AUTHOR.
I AM PROUD TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT
OF THIS BOND.
IN SPEAKING OF TO COUNTLESS
MEMBERS OF THE COMMUNITY
CONSTITUENTS STUDENTS FACULTY
STAFF AND ADMINISTRATORS.
IT IS BEEN MADE CLEAR TO ME THAT
THERE IS AN OVERWHELMING NEED
FOR THIS BOND MANY CSU AND UC
CAMPUSES SPACE SEVERE BACKLOGS
IN DEFERRED MAINTENANCE.
STUDENTS DESERVE OPTIMAL
LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS AND THIS
BILL WILL HELP US ENSURE THAT
THEY HAVE THE WORLD CLASS
EDUCATION SYSTEM --
THAT WE HAVE INTENDED FOR THEM
AND THAT IS NEEDED FOR OUR
ECONOMY HERE IN CALIFORNIA.
MY COLLEAGUE MENTIONED --
WHERE THERE IT IS WHETHER IS A
LACK OF --
ACCESS AND WHERE SEATS --
ARE NOT AVAILABLE FOR STUDENTS
TO SAID AND HANDS SO IN COPS
COSTA WE FACE THE EXACT SAME
THING.
OVER A MILLION RESIDENTS AND YET
THEY HAVE NO ACCESS TO A PUBLIC
FOUR YEAR UNIVERSITY OF THEIR
OWN.
SEVERAL OTHER REGIONS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA ARE IN SIMILAR
SITUATIONS AND THIS BILL WOULD
POSITIVELY IMPACT COMMUNITIES
THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE STATE SO
THIS BILL IS A SMART INVESTMENT
FOR THE FUTURE OF CALIFORNIA AND
THIS IS THE KIND OF INVESTMENT.
THAT WILL BUILD FACILITIES OR AT
LEAST LAST --
A VERY LONG TIME TO A LIFETIME --
AND ALSO TURNOUT FUTURE LEADERS
FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA SO.
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN ENGINE.
IF YOU THINK YOU OTHER FOLKS
WANT SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL.

ASSEMBLY BILL THREE TWO TWO
EIGHT AUTHORIZED SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN RECEIVERSHIP TO USE
REVENUE FROM THE SALES OF
SURPLUS PROPERTY FOR PAYING DOWN
THE AMOUNT OWED TO THE STATE.
CURLY REVENUES FROM THE STATE OF
SERVICE SURPLUS PROPERTY MUST BE
USED TO FIND IMPROVEMENTS OF
SCHOOL FACILITIES.
AB THIRTY TWO TWENTY EIGHT HELP
SCHOOLS RETURNED TO FINANCIAL
SOLVENCY AFTER RECEIVING AN

REVENUES FROM THE SALE OR LEASE
OF SURPLUS PROPERTY TO PAY DOWN.
THE EMERGENCY LOAN ISSUED BY THE
STATE ALLOWING THESE DISTRICTS
TO CONTINUE USING THEIR NORMAL
OPERATING FUNDS FOR EDUCATIONAL
PURPOSES WHILE BECOMING
FINANCIALLY SOLVENT.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN RECEIVERSHIP
ARE B DEFINITION IN FINANCIAL
HARDSHIP WE MUST ENSURE THOSE
SCHOOLS WHICH STRUGGLE
FINANCIALLY OF A PATH FORWARD TO
SUCCESS.
THE CURRENT SYSTEM FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS HAS NOT SUPPORTED THE

RECOGNIZES THAT SCHOOL DISTRICTS
THAT RECEIVE AN EMERGENCY LOAN

FISCAL CRISIS MUST BEAR THE COST
OF REPAYING THE LOAN.
INFECTION UNFORTUNATELY THIS IN
ITSELF ALSO CREATES A FINANCIAL
BURDEN. FOR THE DISTRICT THESE
DISTRICTS ARE BALANCING BETWEEN
PAPER PAYING BACK THE LOAN AND
KEEPING SCHOOLS OPERATING.
WHICH DEPLETES CRITICAL
FINANCIAL RESOURCES THAT COULD
OTHERWISE BE USED IN THE
CLASSROOM. TO SUPPORT STUDENT
LEARNING AND ACHIEVEMENT BY
ALLOWING THESE DISTRICTS TO
LEASE OR SOLD SURPLUS PROPERTY.
AB THIRTY TWO TWENTY EIGHT IS
PROVIDING THEM WITH OTHER
