THE MEMBERS SALAS WITH ITEM TO A
B 1963 BEGIN WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND THANK
MEMBERS PLEASED TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL 1963. BUT FIRST
LET ME BEGIN BY STUDYINGTHAT I
WILL BE TAKING THE COMMITTEE'S
AMENDMENTS AND I'D LIKE TO THANK
THE COMMITTEE FOR YOUR WORK WITH
MY OFFICE ON THIS MEASURE, YOU
KNOW FOR A B 1963 SCIENTISTS
HAVE SHOWN THAT IT IS POSSIBLE
TO RECONSTRUCT VIRUSES LIKE
COVID, 19 AND EBOLA BY MEL ORDER
DNA THAT CAN BE PURCHASED
THROUGH THE INTERNET FROM GENE
SYNTHESIS COMPANIES. A B 1963 IS
A COMMON SENSE. MEASURE THAT
ONCE YOUR CALIFORNIA TAXPAYER
DOLLARS ARE BEING USED TO
SUPPORT RESPONSIBLE COMPANIES
WHO TAKE BIOSECURITY SERIOUSLY.
WITH ME TODAY BY PHONE TO
TESTIFY AS DR G, A SENIOR
SCHOLAR AT THE JOHN HOPKINS
CENTER FOR HEALTH SECURITY.
EXCELLENT THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S DR G G.
GRANVILLE PLEASE PROCEED. WHEN
YOU'RE READY. YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES. GREAT THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TESTIFY
BEFORE YOU TODAY. UM SO, YEAH,
I'M USUALLY GROUND FAULT AND I
HAVE, UM MY BACKGROUND IS IN THE
BIOLOGICAL SCIENCES. I WORK AT
THE JOHN POPKIN CENTER FOR
HEALTH SECURITY AND THE
BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF PUBLIC
HEALTH. I SERVE ON FOR A VARIETY
OF COMMITTEES, INCLUDING A
FEDERAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR
NIH ON EMERGING BIOTECHNOLOGY
AND SECURITY. I'VE ALSO SERVED
AS A COMMITTEE MEMBER FOR THE
2018 NATIONAL ACADEMIES REPORT
ON BIODEFENSE IN AN AGE OF
SYNTHETIC BIOLOGY. WE CONCLUDED
THAT ONE OF THE MOST PRESSING
BIOSECURITY RISKS WE FACE IS
THAT A BAD ACTOR COULD BE USED
JEANS SAID. THIS IS PRODUCTS
LIKE ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S MENTIONED
TO MAKE PATHOGENS, PARTICULARLY
SMALL VIRUSES. UM AND THIS
LEGISLATION WHERE GROUP PRIOR
THAT GENE SYNTHESIS SCREEN THEIR
ORDERS AND THAT CUSTOMERS ONLY
USED COMPANIES. THAT PERFORMED
BIOSECURITY SCREENING, WHICH
WOULD MAKE IT MUCH HARDER FOR
NEFARIOUS ACTOR TO ACCESS THE
GENETIC MATERIAL NEEDED TO MAKE
CARS LIKE SMALLPOX, EBOLA OR
INFLUENZA. AND YOU KNOW ALL
VIRUSES THAT WE DO NOT WANT TO
SEE BEING OUT IN THE WORLD,
ESPECIALLY AS WEAPONS. SO UM
MOST COMMERCIAL, JEAN SAID. THIS
HAS COMPANIES ALREADY
VOLUNTARILY SCREEN THE ORDERS.
BUT AS THAT COSTS TIME AND MONEY
, THOSE RESPONSIBLE COMPANIES,
INCLUDING SEVERAL IN CALIFORNIA
HAS BEEN A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS
ADVANTAGE, SO THIS LEGISLATION
WOULD LEVEL THE PLAYING FIELD SO
THAT ONLY HIGH QUALITY COMPANIES
AND ORGANIZATIONS TAKE PART IN
THIS EMERGING BIOTECH FIELD.
IT'S MY HOPE THAT CALIFORNIA
LEADS THE WAY FOR US FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT AND OTHER GOVERNMENTS
TO PUT REGULATIONS IN PLACE
SIMILAR TO THIS UM, AND TO
ENSURE THAT DNA THIS PRODUCT DID
NOT FALL INTO THE WRONG HANDS.
BUT THANK YOU TO THE COMMITTEE
FOR INCLUDING ME AND THANK YOU
FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TO GUARD
AGAINST US. SECURITY STRESS.
VERY GOOD. THANK YOU, DR
GRANVILLE. WE WILL NOW GO TO
ROOM 2100 FOR ANYONE WHO'S IN

OUR NATIONAL MATTERS AND DOESN'T
MEAN THAT WE SHOULDN'T AS A
STATE ENGAGED, BUT PERHAPS THE
YOUR YOUR SUCCESS. HOPEFULLY,
GOING FORWARD IN NOVEMBER WILL
ALLOW YOU TO BRING THIS TO A
NATIONAL PLATFORM WHERE IT WOULD
BE BETTER IF RATHER THAN A STATE
BY STATE, AND I KNOW ONE OF YOUR
WITNESSES TALKED ABOUT THE
COMPETITIVE DISADVANTAGE. THE
CALIFORNIA COMPANIES HAVE THAT
CERTAINLY NOT SOMETHING THAT'S
FAIR AND THAT YOUR LEADERSHIP
CAN CONTINUE TO ENHANCE THAT. ON
A NATIONAL LEVEL. UM AS I
UNDERSTAND THE AMENDMENTS. THIS
IS NOT DIRECTING THAT THE I G S
C AND THEIR PROTOCOLS BEING
ACCEPTED, BUT SIMPLY THAT THE

MADAM CHAIR AND MEMBERS. THANK
YOU FOR ALLOWING ME TO PRESENT
ASSEMBLY BILL 2038, WHICH SEEKS
TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION FOR A
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT. UM TO
ACCURATELY COUNT ITS TEACHERS
AND ADMINISTRATORS. BEFORE I
BEGIN. I WOULD LIKE TO
RESPECTFULLY ACCEPT THE
AMENDMENTS THAT THE COMMITTEE
HAS PROPOSED AND THANK THE
COMMITTEE FOR WORKING VERY
CLOSELY WITH THE SPONSORS AS
WELL AS MY OFFICE IN REACHING
THIS POINT, L. A UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT. IS THE LARGEST PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA
ADMINISTRATORS AND TEACHERS OF L
. A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT ALSO
SERVED ONE OF THE MOST DIVERSE
STUDENT BODY IN THE UNITED
STATES. L. A UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT HAS 1424 80. PARKS ARE
STUDENTS OF COLOR IN 2000 AND 19
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT RECEIVED
A THREE YEAR WAIVER FROM MEETING
THE RATIO REQUIREMENT AS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DISTRICT TO
RESET LOCAL PROGRAMS AND MOVE
TOWARDS COMPLIANCE. THIS WAIVER
IS SET TO EXPIRE BY THE END OF
THIS YEAR. WHICH WOULD MEAN THAT
L. A UNIFIED'S SCOOTERS WHO
MIGHT HAVE TO LAY OFF MANY OF
ITS STAFF. THE GOAL OF THIS BILL
IS VERY, VERY SIMPLE. AND THAT
IT'S TO PROVIDE A SOLUTION TO LA
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICTS,
DILEMMA. ADMINISTRATORS AND
TEACHERS PLAY A CRITICAL ROLE IN
IMPROVING THE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT AND OVER ALL
ACADEMIC PROGRAMS FOR ITS
STUDENTS. ADMINISTRATORS HAVE
ALSO CONTINUED TO PROVIDE OUR
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WITH THE
NECESSARY RESOURCES AND NEEDED
TO RECOVER FROM THE LEARNING
LAWS DUE TO THIS PANDEMIC AND
THEY HAVE DIRECTLY SUPPORTED OUR
TEACHERS AND STUDENTS IN THE
CLASSROOM. JOINING ME TO PROVIDE
SUPPORTING TESTIMONIES IS MARIA
MARIA MAYOR. OKAY DIRECTOR OF
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS OF
L, A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
ALSO, UH, THERE WILL BE JOINING
US FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE MISS
A REPRESENTATIVE WHO WILL
PROVIDE TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE TO
THE BILL. I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR

THANK YOU ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
MISTLETOE BAY OR DID YOU WANT TO
BEGIN? OKAY, PLEASE START AND
YOU HAVE TWO MINUTES. GOOD
AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS MARIA
SOTOMAYOR AND I REPRESENT THE
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT AS A DIRECTOR OF
ORGANIZATIONAL EFFECTIVENESS IN
THE OFFICE OF THE DEPUTY CHIEF
HUMAN RESOURCES. THE LOS ANGELES
UNIFIED IS PROUD TO SPONSOR
SIMPLY BILL 2038, WHICH WAS
ORIGINALLY INTENDED TO CLARIFY
THE DEFINITION OF ADMINISTRATOR
TO INCLUDE ONLY STAFF EMPLOYED
IN A POSITION REQUIRING AN
ADMINISTRATIVE CERTIFICATION
QUALIFICATION. BUT NOW MAYBE
2038 CLARIFIES THE DEFINITION OF
TEACHER AND EXEMPT THESE
POSITIONS TEMPORARILY FROM
COUNTY TOWARDS THE CALCULATION
FROM LOS ANGELES UNIFIED FOR A
THREE YEAR PERIOD. AND ALSO
EXAMPLE ESSENTIALLY UNIFIED FROM
COUNTY MAGNET SCHOOL
COORDINATORS IN ITS CALCULATIONS
, SINCE THESE POSITIONS, SUPPORT
COMPLIANCE WITH A COURT TO
SEGREGATED ORDER, WE WOULD LIKE
TO CLARIFY THAT WE ARE REFERRING
TO TEACHERS UTIL A MEMBERS.
TEACHERS ON SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT
WHO DO NOT SUPERVISE ANY
EMPLOYEES. CURRENT LAW REQUIRES
SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO MEET A
CERTAIN ADMINISTRATOR TO TEACHER
RATIO, ALSO KNOWN AS R. TWO WITH
THE INTENT THAT RESOURCES ARE
DEDICATED TO CLASSROOM SUPPORTS
AND INSTRUCTIONS. HOWEVER SINCE
THE ENACTMENT OF THE LAW, THERE
HAVE BEEN MANY CHANGES IN
EDUCATION POLICY AND FUNDING AND
IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS APPROACHES
SUPPORTING THE WHOLE CHILD BY
TAKING INTO ACCOUNT THE ACADEMIC
, SOCIAL EMOTION, EMOTIONAL AND
HEALTH. NEEDS OF EVERY STUDENT
IN 2018, THE LOS ANGELES UNIFIED
RECEIVED A THREE YEAR BELIEVER
FROM MEETING THE ART TO
REQUIREMENTS AS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR THE DISTRICT TO REASSESS
LOCAL PROGRAMS AND MOVE TOWARDS
COMPLIANCE DESPITE THE ONGOING
COVID 19 PANDEMIC, POSING
UNPRECEDENTED CHALLENGES. FOR
THE 2020 21 SCHOOL YEAR.
ESSENTIAL UNIFIED STAFF HAS
CONTINUED ITS COMMITMENT TO
EXAMINE EXISTING PROCESSES AND
ANALYZING JOB DESCRIPTIONS,
INCLUDING INTERPRETATION OF THE
LAW AS IT RELATES TO OUR
STAFFING NEEDS IN EDUCATING THE
WHOLE CHILD. WE UNDERSTAND THESE
ARE SEVERAL PROPOSALS. THERE ARE
SEVERAL PROPOSAL COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS AND RESPECTFULLY
REQUESTS THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CONTINUE WORKING TOGETHER TO
HELP LOS ANGELES UNIFIED GET
CLOSER TO MEETING THE ART TO
RACIAL WHILE STILL BEING ABLE TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF OUR DIVERSE
STUDENT AS A WHOLE. FOR THESE
REASONS, LOS ANGELES UNIFIED
URGES YOUR I VOTE. THANK YOU

NOBODY IS QUEUING UP AT THIS
TIME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. WE'LL
BRING IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
FOR ANY QUESTIONS, COMMENTS OR
CONCERNS, SENATOR PAN SO SOMEHOW
WE GOT SOME FIRST OF ALL. I GOT
SUPPORT THE BILL AND I
APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK BEING
DONE ON IT AS WELL. AND GIVEN
THE CURRENT CIRCUMSTANCES. I
GUESS THE QUESTION I HAVE IS
THAT ACTUALLY, MANY OF THE
CHANGES THAT YOU'RE SUGGESTING
WHICH WILL BE TEMPORARY.
RELEASING THE MEDIA. VERY
REASONABLE. IS THERE SOME LARGER
CONVERSATION ABOUT? YOU KNOW,
BECAUSE HE SAID THAT PART OF
THIS IS THE EVOLUTION BUT AND I
REALIZED IT'S PROBABLY BEYOND
THE SCOPE OF YOUR BILL. BUT
ABOUT LOOKING AT THAT ARE TWO
REQUIREMENTS AND UPDATING IT OR
SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE THE
SITUATION CAUSE I CAN IMAGINE
THAT MAYBE L A U. S D IS NOT THE
ONLY SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT MIGHT
BE STRUGGLING WITH THIS PROBLEM,
RIGHT? SO WELL, THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. I MEAN, THAT'S A EXCELLENT
POINT. I WOULD ASK MR BATISTA
SURVIVAL ABOUT ZAVALA, PLEASE
PROCEED, PLEASE VERY MUCH AS
LEGISLATIVE ADVOCATE AND
REPRESENTATIVE FOR LOS ANGELES
UNIFIED, YOU RAISE A GREAT
QUESTION. THE LEGISLATURE
CONTINUES TO IMPLEMENT POLICIES
TO OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS. WE
DEFINITELY INVITE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE A PART OF
CONVERSATIONS AS TO HOW THE R
TWO RATIO NEEDS TO BE ADJUSTED.
SO IF YOU ASK LOSS, ANGELES
UNIFIED SHOULD THE REQUIREMENTS
IN THE DEFINITIONS OF WHAT
COUNTS TOWARDS OUR TWO NEEDS TO
BE RECONSIDERED AND REEVALUATED
. THE ANSWER IS YES. COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS POLICIES, FOR EXAMPLE,
AS JUST ONE EXAMPLE OF A VARIETY
OF POLICIES. OFFERS THE
OPPORTUNITY TO HIRE AND CREATE
THESE TEACHERS ON SPECIAL
ASSIGNMENT TO SUPPORT IN
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT,
MENTORING OUR TEACHERS IN ORDER
TO SUSTAIN THE COMMUNITY.
CERTAINLY COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
MODEL THOSE TEACHERS. RIGHT NOW
, IN THIS POLICY DO NOT COUNT
TOWARDS OUR TWO RATIO. BUT IT
COULD COUNT FOR OTHER SCHOOL
DISTRICTS, BUT THEY STILL WILL
MAYBE BELOW THE R TWO RATIO
PERCENTAGE. BUT IT IS SOMETHING
THAT WE DO OPEN ARE INTERESTED
IN REEVALUATING AND ENCOURAGE
THE LEGISLATIVE. THE LEGISLATORS
TO DO SO AND ASK US TO BE A PART
OF THOSE DISCUSSIONS, YOU KNOW,
SO I APPRECIATE THAT ANSWER.
OBVIOUSLY IT'S A BIGGER
CONVERSATION. WE NEED TO HAVE
OUR LABOR PARTNERS ON BOARD
HAVING THE CONVERSATION,
ETCETERA. BUT I THINK THAT YOU
KNOW, AND CERTAINLY I MEAN, IN
TERMS OF CERTAINLY SUPPORTING
THIS, BILL. I KNOW YOU NEED IT
NOW. I'M ALSO JUST THINKING
ABOUT WHEN THIS EXPIRES. YOU
KNOW, WE'RE GONNA BE BACK HERE
AGAIN HAVING THE SAME
CONVERSATION. ETCETERA SO I
GUESS I'M JUST SAYING THIS SO
THAT HOPEFULLY WE STIMULATE SOME
THOUGHT ABOUT MAYBE HAVING MORE
COMPREHENSIVE DISCUSSION ABOUT
THIS THIS ISSUE. BEFORE THIS
EXPIRED SO THAT HOPEFULLY WE'RE
IN A BETTER PLACE AND ALSO FOR
OTHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS AS WELL
WHERE THIS MAY BE AN ISSUE AND
ALSO FOR THE TEACHERS THEMSELVES
BECAUSE THE TEACHERS YOU'RE
TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW, ARE
SERVING THEIR STUDENTS, AND
THAT'S WHY, AND I SAID, I THINK
THIS IS VERY REASONABLE. EVEN
THOUGH EVEN AS A MORE LONG TERM
THINKING ABOUT HOW WE CLASSIFY
TEACHERS, BUT THAT'S AGAIN THE
LARGER CONVERSATION. SO WITH
THAT, I'M PLEASED IN THOSE MOVE
THE BILL. THANK YOU, SENATOR PAN
ANYONE ELSE? ALRIGHT VERY GOOD.
SUDDENLY MEMBER. WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CLOSE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
WANT TO THANK THE COMMITTEE? I
WANT TO THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR
CONSIDERING ASSEMBLY BILL 23 38
IS COMMON SENSE BILL. ON BEHALF
OF L. A UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
ONE. I THINK IT'S
REPRESENTATIVES FOR COMING AND
TESTIFYING AND RESPECTFULLY
ASKED WHEN I VOTE. THANK YOU
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S THE BILL HAS
BEEN MOVED BY SENATOR PAN AND
I'M ASSISTANT. PLEASE CALL THE
ROLL. FILE ITEM 12, MAYBE 2038.
THE MOTION IS DUE PASS AS
AMENDED, BUT FIRST AMEND AND RE
REFERRED TO THE COMMITTEE ON
APPROPRIATIONS LEVER I II COBURG
CORTEZ DOLLY! GLASER GLASER. I
MCGUIRE PAN AND I VOTE TO GET
OUT. BUT WE'LL KEEP IT OPEN FOR
ABSENT MEMBERS. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. THANK YOU.
ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S OKAY?
WELCOME ASSEMBLYMEMBER'S
GABRIEL. YOU HAVE ITEMS 16 MAYBE
26 83 PRESENT WHEN YOU'RE READY.
THANK YOU, MADAM CHAIR AND
MEMBERS. I AM PLEASED TODAY TO
PRESENT A B 26 83, WHICH WILL
CRY OR HIGHER EDUCATION
INSTITUTIONS IN CALIF. TO
ANNUALLY. TRAIN THEIR STUDENTS
ON SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND SEXUAL
HARASSMENT. WE HAVE A WELL
DOCUMENTED CRISIS OF SEXUAL
VIOLENCE THAT ARE HIGHER
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. RECENT
STUDIES SUGGEST THAT TO ONE
THIRD OF UNDERGRADUATE WOMEN
EXPERIENCE, NON CONSENSUAL
SEXUAL CONTENT CONTACT STUDIES
ALSO DEMONSTRATE THAT SURVIVORS
OF NON CONSENSUAL SEXUAL CONTACT
OFTEN EXPERIENCE SIGNIFICANT
BEHAVIORAL, EMOTIONAL, ACADEMIC
AND PROFESSIONAL CONSEQUENCES.
WHILE THERE IS A PAST WORK OF
HIS OF EXISTING LAWS,
INSTITUTIONS ARE NOT REQUIRED TO
TRAIN THEIR STUDENTS ON THESE
TOPICS, AND WHILE SOME
INSTITUTIONS HAVE ADOPTED STRONG
TRAINING REQUIREMENTS
INDEPENDENTLY, OTHER CAMPUSES
AND INSTITUTIONS HAVE NOT. IN
ADDITION, MANY OF THESE
TRAININGS FOCUS ON PREVENTION OF
SEXUAL VIOLENCE WILL INFORMATION
ABOUT WHAT TO DO AFTER AN
INCIDENT OCCURS IS NOT COVERED,
LEAVING MANY SURVIVORS TO FEEL
LOST ABOUT WHERE TO GO OR WHAT
TO DO. THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE
THESE TRAININGS NOT ONLY TO
COVER THE TOPIC OF PREVENTION,
BUT ALSO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND
RESOURCES FOR WHAT TO DO AFTER
AN INCIDENT OF SEXUAL VIOLENCE
OCCURS BETTER ACCESS TO
RESOURCES AND EDUCATION WILL
EMPOWER SURVIVORS TO TAKE ACTION
AND INCREASED REPORTING OF
INCIDENTS. THROUGH THIS TRAINING
THE BILL ENSURE THAT THERE'S A
BASELINE LEVEL NEW KNOWLEDGE
THAT STUDENTS HAVE REGARDING
SEXUAL VIOLENCE AND HARASSMENT
SO THAT WE CAN PROTECT THE
SAFETY AND SUCCESS OF ALL
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS. WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY BY PHONE IS
