WHEN READY. OR. YOU'RE WELCOME
IS MY GLASSES IF NECESSARY. BY
X. RAY VISION DOESN'T WORK TODAY
. GOOD MORNING A CHAIR MEMBERS
I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT SB EIGHTY
EIGHT. LAST YEAR. WE
SUCCESSFULLY INCREASED OUR
BUDGET. IN A WAY THAT INCREASE
THE FUNDING FOR. SCHOOLS TO
PROVIDE HOME TO SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION. CALIFORNIA WAS
DEAD LAST IN TERMS OF THE NUMBER
OF SCHOOL BUS. RIDES IT OFFERED
ITS CHILDREN'S. BEFORE AND NOW
WE'RE TRYING TO GET BETTER
BECAUSE OBVIOUSLY. IF WE CAN'T
PROVIDE IF WE DON'T PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION TO OUR CHILDREN.
MANY KIDS CAN'T GET TO SCHOOL.
AND WE KNOW THAT SOME OF THE-
THE LF MISSING SCHOOL ANDY IN
OTHER WORDS THE LOWER ATTENDANCE
ESPECIALLY IN OUR- PRIMARY
GRADES WAS DUE TO THE KIDS NOT
HAVING TRANSPORTATION SO THE
BUDGET FUNDING THAT WE SECURED.
AND THAT'S ONGOING IS REALLY A
GREAT THING SO NOW TO IMPLEMENT
THAT THIS IS THE PURPOSE OF SB
EIGHTY EIGHT. AS WE- EXPAND OUR
HOME TO SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION WE
WANT TO ENSURE THE SAFETY OF OUR
CHILDREN SO WHAT THIS BILL DOES
IS REQUIRES THAT DRIVERS WHO ARE
PAID TO DRIVE OUR STUDENTS MEET
THE SAME REQUIREMENTS THAT WE-
REQUIRE FOR SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS.
AND THROUGH IN OTHER WORDS THERE
CAN BE OTHER ENTITIES THAT ARE
CONTRACTED TO PROVIDE- THIS HOME
TO SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION THAT
EXISTS TODAY WHERE DISTRICTS DO
CONTRACT WITH SOMETHING OTHER
THAN A EMPLOYED SCHOOL BUS
DRIVER. HOWEVER THIS BILL WOULD
JUST MAKE SURE THAT THEY MEET
THE SAME SAFETY AND BACKGROUND
CHECK REQUIREMENTS THAT WE
REQUIRE OF SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS
AND WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO HAVE
MY WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. AND
THEY ARE ONE MORALIS FROM THE
DIRECTOR WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF
THE SCHOOL FACILITIES AND
TRANSPORTATION DIVISION AT THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION. AND EMILY CARON WHO
IS THE LEAD SCHOOL BUS
INSTRUCTOR. AT THE WEST COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AGENCY IN SANTA
ROSA. THANK YOU MISTRUST THAT
GOOD MORNING PLEASE PROCEED MORE
MISTER MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE
AGAIN MINIMUS WIRELESS ON THE
DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL
FACILITIES AND TRANSPORTATION
SERVICES DIVISION OF THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION. ON BEHALF OF OUR
SCHOOLS TO PRESENT A PUBLIC
CONSTRUCTION MISTER TONY
THURMOND WHO IS A PROUD CO
SPONSORED SENATE BILL EIGHTY
EIGHT I'M HERE IN SUPPORT OF
THIS IMPORTANT MEASURE. SCHOOL
BUS DRIVERS PROVIDE IMPORTANT
SERVICE TO OUR PEOPLES AND THEIR
FAMILIES. THE ENSURE THE SAFE
TRANSPORTATION OF PEOPLE'S
BETWEEN HOME AND SCHOOL WHICH IS
THE FIRST STEP IN EDUCATING OUR
STUDENTS. BECAUSE OF THE STATE
THE RESPONSIBILITY SCHOOL BUS
DRIVERS IN SCHOOL BUSES HAVE
STRICT OVERSIGHT. BY THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
DEPARTMENT VEHICLES AND THE
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL. AS IT
ENSURES THAT PROPER TRAINING AND
SAFETY CHECKS ARE IN PLACE TO
TRANSPORT STUDENTS SAFELY.
HOWEVER WE KNOW THAT IS NOT
ALWAYS POSSIBLE TRANSPORT
STUDENTS IN BUSES. THAT IS WHY
SOME LOCAL NEWS AGENCIES HAVE
RECENTLY ENTERED INTO MULTI YEAR
CONTRACTS. WITH COMPANY WITHOUT
THESE COMPANIES ALSO KNOWN AS
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANIES
TO TRANSPORT STUDENTS THROUGH
FROM SCHOOL. THESE COMPANIES ARE
NOT REGULATED IN THE SAME WAY.
THAT SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS AND
BUSES ARE REGULATED. I MEAN IF
THEY DON'T FALL UNDER THE RULES
AND REGULATIONS FOR THESE THESE
STATE AGENCIES. WHEN PERFORMING
THE JOB AND THE DUTIES THAT
HISTORICALLY HAVE ONLY BEEN
PERFORMED BY SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS.
THIS BILL WOULD PLACE VARIOUS
IMPORTANT REQUIREMENTS. SUCH AS
REQUIRING THESE BUS DRIVERS TO
COMPLETE INITIAL AND ONGOING
TRAINING. TO BE MANDATED
REPORTERS AND JUST TO MAKE CLEAR
AND TO REGULUS IS RISK
ASSESSMENTS. THESE ARE JUST A.
FEW THE SAFETY REQUIREMENTS IN
THIS BILL. STILL SAFETY IS AND
SHE CONTINUED BE OUR TOP
PRIORITY NAY. THESE ARE POOR.
WILL NÂNG STRAIN PUBLIC
CONFIDENCE BUT MOST IMPORTANTLY.
IT WILL HELP ENSURE THAT OUR
STUDENTS WILL CONTINUE TO BE
TRANSPORTED SAFELY TO AND FROM
SCHOOL. WITH THAT RESPECT GOOD
PRESS FOR AN AYE VOTE ON THIS
BILL. I ALSO HAVE MISSED AND
ABORTIONS HERE FROM OUR SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION OFFICE TO HELP
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. THANK YOU.
IN NEXT WITNESS SAID MRS KAREN
MISCANTHUS. GOOD MORNING MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS MY NAME IS
EMILY KEREN AND I'M LEAD SCHOOL
BUS INSTRUCTOR AT WEST COUNTY
TRANSPORTATION AGENCY IN SANTA
ROSA. I STARTED MY CAREER AS A
SCHOOL BUS DRIVER IN TWO
THOUSAND SIX. I BECAME A SCHOOL
BUS INSTRUCTOR IN JANUARY TWENTY
NINETEEN AND THAT LEADER
TRAINING DEPARTMENT. SAYS
BECOMING AN INSTRUCTOR I AM
TRYING TO TOTAL FORTY SCHOOL BUS
DRIVERS. BUT MANY SCHOOL
DISTRICTS MY AGENCY IS ALSO IN A
BIND WITH WORKFORCE CRISIS WHICH
IS NECESSITATED THE USE OF TNC
DRIVERS TO TRANSPORT OUR
STUDENTS. THEY'RE DOING THE SAME
WORK ALONGSIDE MY SCHOOL BUS
DRIVERS WHO HAVE TRAINED THROUGH
A RIGOROUS PROGRAM. YET THEY
DON'T HAVE TO MAKE ANY OTHER
REQUIREMENTS OR QUALIFICATIONS
THAT MY SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS DO.
HOW DOES THAT MAKE SENSE WHEN WE
ARE ESSENTIALLY DOING THE SAME
JOB. AND THE INTEREST OF TIME
I'LL ONLY TOUCH UPON A FEW OF
THE THINGS THAT MY SCHOOL BUS
DRIVERS MUST GO THROUGH. WE MUST
PASS A PRE EMPLOYMENT DRUG
SCREENING. TAKE A MINIMUM OF
TWENTY HOURS CLASSROOM
INSTRUCTION. CONSISTING OF
NEARLY SIX HUNDRED PAGES OF
RULES REGULATIONS DEFENSIVE
DRIVING AND PEOPLE MANAGEMENT.
WE HAVE TO COMPLETE A MINIMUM OF
TWENTY HOURS BEHIND THE WHEEL
WITH AN INSTRUCTOR. BE
FINGERPRINTED AND TAKE A WRITTEN
TEST WITH THE CHP. AND A FINAL
DRIVE TEST WITH THE CHP. SCHOOL
BUS DRIVERS ARE PLACED INTO A
FULL NOTICE PROGRAM. OR ANY AND
ALL FRACTIONS ARE REPORTED.
VARIOUS INFRACTIONS OR OFFENSES
ARE CAUSE FOR THE DMV TO CANCEL
SUSPEND OR REVOKE. OUR SCHOOL
BUSTER DIFFICULT'S. ALL SCHOOL
BUS DRIVERS ARE ALSO PLACED INTO
A DOT RANDOM DRUG AND ALCOHOL
TESTING PROGRAM. GO BUSTERS ARE
REJECT ARE RESTRICTED TO A ZERO
TOLERANCE LEVEL FOR ALCOHOL. OR
ANY DETECTABLE AMOUNT OF ALL
CALL IN OUR SYSTEM THE PLACE IS
OUT OF SERVICE FOR TWENTY FOUR
HOURS. AND LIKELY INTOXICATED AT
POINT 004% TNC DRIVERS ARE NOT
REGULATED AT A ZERO TOLERANCE
LEVEL IT COULD POTENTIALLY BE
DRIVING YOUR STUDENTS AND YOUR
CHILDREN. WITH A SIGNIFICANT
AMOUNT OF ALCOHOL IN THEIR
SYSTEM. BUT IS IMMINENT OR RENT
A DRUG TESTING PROGRAM WOULD
HELP PREVENT SUCH THINGS FROM
HAPPENING. I'VE BEEN IN THIS
FIELD FOR SEVENTEEN YEARS THE
PAY AS LITTLE THE HOURS ARE
HORRIBLE BUT I REALLY CARE ABOUT
MY STUDENTS. AND SHARING THAT
THEY ARE TRANSPORTED SAFELY. I
FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THE BEST AND
SAFEST OPTION IS TO ALWAYS HAVE
A STUDENT IN A YELLOW SCHOOL
BUS. BUT WE'RE ALLOWED TO OUR
STUDENTS BE TRANSPORTED
PASSENGER VEHICLES I WANT TO
ENSURE THAT THEY ARE DONE AS
SAFELY AS POSSIBLE. I'D LIKE TO
ENCOURAGE YOU TO SUPPORT SB
EIGHTY EIGHT. THANK YOU. AND
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TESTIMONY THE
FIRST OPPOSITION WITNESS. JEFF
FLOCK OF FROM THE RIVERSIDE
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION
WELCOMES ROCKETS. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR- GOOD MORNING-
CENTER SKINNER MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE AND STAFF. JEFF WALKER
REPRESENTING THE RIVERSIDE
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
AND THE TWENTY THREE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS SUPERINTENDENTS OF
RIVERSIDE COUNTY- WE ARE PART OF
A COALITION THAT OPPOSED TO THE
BILL. AS INTRODUCED- I WANT TO
RECOGNIZE SENATOR SKINNER FOR
HER EFFORTS LAST YEAR AND THIS
COMMITTEES EFFORTS IN SECURING.
ADDITIONAL FUNDING FOR SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION. OF WE ARE
ABSOLUTELY NOT OPPOSED TO
ENSURING THAT. DRIVERS ARE POOR
FARMERS ARE WELL TRAINED AND
SAFE AND NOT PUTTING STUDENTS IN
PERIL- SOME OF THE ISSUES WE
RAISED IN OUR LETTER HAVE IN
FACT BEEN ADDRESSED. WITH THE
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDED
AMENDMENTS. THANK YOU TO MR
JOHNSON FOR HIS WORK ON THOSE.
WE WERE REALLY TRYING TO ENSURE
ALIGNMENT BETWEEN EDUCATION CODE
LANGUAGE VEHICLE CODE LANGUAGE.
WE'VE MADE A LOT OF PROGRESS I
THINK WITH THESE AMENDMENTS AND
PRINT. THE PIECE THAT WE STILL
WOULD LIKE TO CONTINUE TO LOOK
AT ARE THE TRAINING
REQUIREMENTS. AND WE WANTED TO
STRIKE A BALANCE BETWEEN
ENSURING THAT DRIVERS ARE SAFE.
BUT ALSO MAINTAINING OPTIONS OR
LOCAL EDUCATIONAL AGENCIES TO
ENSURE THAT WE CAN GET. KIDS TO
AND FROM SCHOOL. AND THAT'S
PARTICULARLY IMPORTANT FOR A
FOSTER YOUTH A STUDENTS WITH
EXCEPTIONAL NEEDS ETCETERA THAT
SOMETIMES USE THESE- OTHER TYPES
OF- MODES OF TRANSPORTATION.
OPPOSED AS OPPOSED TO THE
TRADITIONAL YELLOW SCHOOL BUS.
SO NOT QUITE READY TO REMOVE
OPPOSITION BUT RECOGNIZE THAT
WE'RE MAKING PROGRESS AND
CONFIDENT THAT WE WILL. GET
THERE AT SOME POINT THIS YEAR NO
CRESCENTA DURING AN CHAIR I DID
FAILED TO OPEN WITH THE FACT
THAT I AM TAKING THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS. TO DO WE DON'T WE
WOULD HAVE ASKED YOU FOR IT- SIX

WOULD IT TAKE FOR ME TO PUT MY
KIDS JACKSON AND SAM IN A HOP
SKIP DRIVE. FIFTY IS THE
FOUNDATION OF EVERYTHING THAT WE
DO AND SO IT IS WITH NO SURPRISE
THAT I'M COMPLETELY ALIGNED WITH
THE LEGISLATURE'S INTENTION TO
ENSURE STUDENT SAFETY IS THE
NUMBER ONE PRIORITY. WE
UNDERSTAND THE INTENTION BEHIND
THE BILL WE THINK THAT THERE ARE
A LOT OF NEGATIVE CONSEQUENCES
THAT HAVEN'T BEEN CONSIDERED IN
THIS BILL IT WOULD DRAMATICALLY
IMPACT STUDENT OUTCOMES AND
EQUITABLE ACCESS TO EDUCATION.
THE BILL IS DESIGNED TO SOUND
LIKE A PROMOTE SAFETY BUT IN
REALITY THERE PROPOSED
REQUIREMENTS ARE INCONSISTENT
WITH THE RIGOROUS SAFETY
MEASURES THAT ARE ALREADY IN
PLACE. BY THE PUBLIC UTILITIES
COMMISSION HOP SKIP DRIVE IS A
LICENSED AND REGULATED
TRANSPORTATION NETWORK COMPANY
REGULATED BY THE QC. UNDER P.
REGULATIONS TRANSPORTATION
NETWORK COMPANIES DO FINGERPRINT
BASED BACKGROUND CHECKS DO YOU
REQUIRED TRAINING. AND DO
REQUIRES ZERO TOLERANCE POLICIES
AS WELL AS- HUSKY DRIVE DOES
REAL TIME TELEMATICS TO
UNDERSTAND DRIVING BEHAVIOR IN
REAL TIME TO DETECT. RISKY
BEHAVIOR OR IMPAIRED. DRIVING
BEHAVIOR. WE BELIEVE THAT WE
NEED ALL OF THE INTENT OF THE
SAFETY REGULATIONS IN THIS BILL.
JUST DESIGNED FOR SOMEBODY
DRIVING A PERSONAL VEHICLE AND
NOT DESIGNED FOR SOMEBODY
DRIVING. A TWELVE TONNE. BUS AND
MUSIC PRODUCER RUSSIA AND ENSURE

PRECIADO THANK YOU. BUT MISS
RODRIGUEZ WELCOME MY NAME.
GERMAN NEWS AND MEMBERS OF
SENATE COMMITTEE I AM GEORGINA
RODRIGUEZ A CURRENT RESIDENT OF
TARZANA CALIFORNIA GROWING UP MY
FAMILY EXPERIENCED HOMELESSNESS.
MY PARENTS TWO SISTERS AND I
CONSTANTLY MOVED FROM ONE
SHELTER TO ANOTHER STRUGGLING TO
FIND STABILITY. AT TIMES WE HAD
TO WALK TWO HOURS JUST TO ATTEND
SCHOOL ON DAYS IT WOULD RAIN WE
COULDN'T GO IT WAS JUST TOO FAR
AND WET CLOTHES. TAKING PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION WAS A LUXURY WE
COULDN'T AFFORD WHEN I WAS
SIXTEEN AND MY SISTERS WERE
FIFTEEN AND FOURTEEN MY PARENTS
MADE THE HEART HEART WRENCHING
DECISION. TO LEAVE US WITH OUR-
AND UNCLE HOPING THAT WE WOULD
FIND A MORE STABLE ENVIRONMENT.
BUT INSTEAD OF SAFETY WE FOUND
ABUSE IT TOOK ME WEEKS TO SPEAK
UP BECAUSE I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
WAS THE WORST ABUSE OR
INSTABILITY. BUT I HAD TO
PROTECT MY SISTERS ONE NIGHT
CHILD PROTECTIVE. SERVICES
SHOWED UP AND MOVED MY SISTERS
INTO ONE FOSTER HOME AND I WAS
MOVED TWO AND A HALF HOURS AWAY
TO ANOTHER HOME. I BEG TO BE
ABLE TO ATTEND MY SCHOOL OF
ORIGIN SO I COULD SEE MY SISTERS
BUT MY SOCIAL WORKER. TOLD ME IT
WOULD NOT BE POSSIBLE THERE WAS
NO SCHOOL BUS OR PUBLIC
TRANSPORTATION THAT COULD GET ME
THERE. I WAS SEPARATED FROM THE
MOST IMPORTANT THING IN MY LIFE
MY SISTERS. AT NIGHT I WOULD
PRAY I WOULD JUST DIE BECAUSE-
THE PAIN AND SADNESS WERE TOO
MUCH. OVER THE NEXT TEN MONTHS
MY SISTERS AND I MOVED. HOMES
FIVE TIMES FINALLY WHEN I
SETTLED IN AT HOME I WAS OFFERED
THE CHOICE. TO CHANGE SCHOOLS OR
TAKE A TWO HOUR. BUS RIDE EACH
WAY TO GO TO SCHOOL WITH MY
SISTERS. I DID IT BECAUSE BEING
WITH THEM WAS THE BEST PART OF
MY DAY. BUT I COULD NOT KEEP UP
I WAS FALLING APART MENTALLY AND
FALLING BEHIND IN SCHOOL. IN A
YEAR I HAD BEEN TO THREE SCHOOLS
EVERY TIME I MOVE SCHOOLS NOT
ALL OF MY COURSE WORK WOULD BE
TRANSFERRED OVER TO THE NEXT
SCHOOL. I HAD TO MAKE NEW
FRIENDS AND MEET NEW TEACHERS. I
DIDN'T THINK I WAS GOING TO
GRADUATE I THOUGHT ABOUT
QUITTING. MY SENIOR YEAR MY
SOCIAL WORKER TOLD ME THERE WAS
A SERVICE THAT DCFS WAS PAYING
FOR. TO TRANSPORT STUDENTS TO
SCHOOL OF ORIGIN. IT WOULD CUT
DOWN THE RIGHT TO THIRTY MINUTES
TO THE RIGHT SCHOOL FOR ME AND
MY SISTERS. THIS CHANGED
EVERYTHING FOR US. WE GOT TO
WRITE TOGETHER WE GOT TO GO TO
SCHOOL TOGETHER. WE HAD THE SAME
DRIVER WHO SHOWED UP EVERY DAY
AND CARED. ABOUT US AND OUR WELL
BEING. I TELL PEOPLE IF THERE IS
ONE WORD THAT DESCRIBES FOSTER
CARE. IT'S DISPOSABLE. YOU FEEL
DISPOSABLE. NO ONE CARED ABOUT
ME- SHOWED INTEREST. MONETTE ARE
CARE DRIVER DID. SHE WAS OUR
DRIVER ALMOST EVERY DAY. SHE
WOULD ASK US ABOUT OUR DAY AND
WE COULD PLAY GAMES IN HER CAR
LIKE US THE SONG. I COULD BE A
KID. I COULD. CRY IF I HAD A BAD
DAY AT SCHOOL. I GOT MORE FROM
THOSE RIGHTS THAN I EVER GOT.
FROM SCHOOL. I FELT SAFER IN.
CARS HAVE DISPUTED. THE SHIP
PLEASE. RETURN TIME. I FELT
SAFER IN THAT CAR. THAN I EVER
DID IN A FOSTER HOME BECAUSE OF
HOP SKIP DRIVE I WAS ABLE TO GO
TO SCHOOL. EARLY AND STAY LATE

MISSED. I WORKED REALLY HARD I
TOOK AP CLASSES I GRADUATED WITH
PRESIDENT'S AWARD CITIZENSHIP

MORNING THERE. THANK YOU SO MUCH
FOR BEING HERE TODAY AND- TO
THOSE TWO- BUT- CAME TO TESTIFY
BUT SERRANO. AND JUST BEFORE I
BEGIN THE RIGHT HAVE TO JUST
YOUR CALL TO THE YOUNG LADY WHO
AB ONE WAS REYES IN THE PAST
LAUGH. FOR ALL THE WAY. JUST A
QUICK COMMENT- YOU KNOW IT'S ONE
OF THE THINGS WERE. I TRIED TO
FIGURE OUT YOU KNOW LIFE AND
FIFTY YEARS OLD AND I TRY TO
FIGURE OUT LIFE IS YOU KNOW I
THINK WE ALL GO THROUGH
CHALLENGES SOME OF THE HARSHER
THAN OTHERS BUT AS SOMEONE WHO
DOES HAVE A PERSONAL BELIEVE
ENOUGH FAITH. M. IT'S REALLY
INTERESTING BECAUSE I LOOK AT
CHALLENGES AND ADVERSITY IN
PEOPLE'S LIVES AS AN OPPORTUNITY
FOR GROWTH. RIGHT AND I ALWAYS
LIKE YOU THAT TO SORT OF LIKE A
ROCK TUMBLER- AND- WE STATE A
ROCK TUMBLER YES YOU COULD DO IT
A ROUGH STONE IN THERE AND YOU
GO IN IT TUMBLES AND IT YOU KNOW
IT GETS REALLY ROUGHED UP IN
THEIR- BUDGETS YOU PULL IT OUT.
YOU KNOW IT COMES OUT THIS
BEAUTIFUL SHINY ROCK- ON THERE
AND I SEE ADVERSITY AND
CHALLENGES IN LIFE IN THAT
RESPECT IT WHEN I'M GOING
THROUGH- OR WHAT I'VE DONE TO
RUN. AT A LOOK RETROSPECTIVELY I
LOOK AT THAT AND I AND I HOPE
AND ENCOURAGE YOU THAT YOUR
PERSONAL CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR
SUCCESSES AND LYFT IN OVERCOMING
WHAT YOU'VE BEEN ABLE TO
OVERCOME. THANK YOU FOR LOOKING
OUT FOR YOUR FOR YOUR SIBLINGS.
AS AN OLDER SISTER I'M THE
OLDEST OF. OF ACTUALLY SIX SIX
CHILDREN SO I AM VERY MOTHERLY
ORIENTED AND I AND YOU KNOW IF
OVERSEEING WHAT. YOU KNOW MY
SIBLINGS DO IS- IT'S IMPORTANT.
BUT I'M JUST REALLY. QUICK ON
THAT END- IT CREATES TOUGH AND
CHARACTER. SO I THINK YOU'RE
MUCH BETTER. AND A GREAT
ATTITUDE AND IT. TO YOUR
COMMUNITY SO. UP SO GOING ON THE
BILL NOW- CENTERS SKINNER. WE
HAVE SOME QUESTIONS THAT- WOULD
LIKE TO BE ADDRESSED ON HERE SO.
I'M FIRST OF ALL TO BEGIN WITH.
IS THERE ANY. TRYING TO FIND THE
REASON WE- WE DO A LOT OF POLICY
HERE IN THE LEGISLATURE BASED ON
THE DATA- THAT IS- RESEARCHING
GATHERED AND SO FORTH. HAS THERE
BEEN ANY DATA THAT SHOWS THAT.
THERE'S BEEN ISSUES WITH THE
THESE TRANSPORTATION SYSTEMS AS
THEY HAVE BEEN. UTILIZED BY THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT AND BY FAMILIES-
IN THE STATE THAT COMPELS A NEED
TO FURTHER REGULATE THIS
INDUSTRY. THIS IS ONE OF THE
PROBLEMS IS THERE ISN'T PAID ON
IT. AND IF WE TAKE THE ARGUMENT
THAT THE PSC REGULATES TNCS
WHICH IT DOES THE PC DOES NOT
REGULATE TNCS TO DRIVE STUDENTS.
TO TUTOR SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION.
ARM AND IN FACT THE PUC'S OWN
REGULATIONS EXEMPT TNCS THAT
HAVE A CONTRACT WITH THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT. SO I THINK THE PC
LOOKS AT IT THAT IF YOU ARE
DRIVING STUDENTS THEN IT'S THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT'S
RESPONSIBILITY. TO PUT THE
REQUIREMENTS BUT WE
UNFORTUNATELY HAVE A SITUATION
WHERE NOT ALL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
HAVE PUT EQUAL REQUIREMENTS ON
THESE DRIVERS. SO EQUAL BUT NOT
NECESSARILY NOT HAVING THEM
REQUIRED SO THEY MAY HAVE
REQUIREMENTS THAT FIT THEIR
DISTRICT NOT NOW YOU DON'T KNOW
WE DON'T KNOW WE DON'T HAVE ALL
THE CONTRACTS TO BE ABLE TO EVEN
REVIEW. IN OTHER WORDS THE
TURRET THIS STATEMENT THAT THE
PUC'S REGULATIONS ARE EITHER
ADEQUATE OR SUFFICE FOR THIS. IF
THE TNC IS IN A DIRECT CONTRACT
AND NOT ALL OF THE MARK BUT IF
THEY'RE IN A DIRECT CONTRACT
WITH THE SCHOOL DISTRICT THE
PUC'S REGULATIONS ARE EXEMPT. SO
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS TRYING TO
PUT IN SOME REGULATIONS FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS. BUT THAT'S NOT
TO SAY THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
MAY NOT ALREADY HAVE THAN IT AND
I'M ASSUME WELLNESS HAVE YOU
HAVE THEM THEY DON'T HAVE TO
WORRY ABOUT THE BILL BECAUSE THE
COUPLE EASY BUT BUT THEY COULD
NOT BE THERE MIGHT NECESSARILY
BE. MEETING WHAT YOU'RE
PROPOSING SO THEY MAY HAVE
REGULATIONS THAT GET THEIR
DISTRICT BUT NOT NECESSARILY ONE
THAT IS A ONE SIZE FITS ALL
THROUGHOUT THE STATE. IF THAT'S
WHAT I'M TRYING TO. AND YET WE
HAVE A ONE SIZE FITS ALL FOR ALL
SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS. THAT WAS
BEFORE MY TIME. RIGHT AND THIS
IS A- A SEPARATE SEPARATE ENTITY
THAT WERE TRYING TO- OVERSEEING
WHAT WHAT I'M TRYING TO OVERSEE
IS. THE PAID DRIVERS WHO TAKE
CHILDREN TO SCHOOL. I DON'T CARE
WHAT THEIR PARTICULAR EMPLOYMENT
IS WHETHER THEY'RE A CONTRACTOR
OR THEIR EMPLOYEE. I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SAFETY
STANDARDS FOR PEOPLE THAT ARE
PAID TO DRIVE OUR STUDENTS TO
SCHOOL. BUT ONCE AGAIN. THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS HOW
REQUIREMENTS IN PLACE THEY MIGHT
NOT MEET THE REQUIREMENTS TO
PROPOSING BUT THEY ALREADY HAVE
SOME IN PLACE AT SEA. I SUPPOSE
WEEK WE HOPE YOU'RE HAVING THAT
THAT'S AN ASSUMPTION SO BUT WE
DON'T HAVE ANY DATA OR WE DON'T
HAVE ANY REPORTS THE STATE THAT
ANY SCHOOL DIFFERENT DOESN'T
HAVE THEM ALREADY IN PLACE.
RIGHT NOBODY HAS PROPOSED THAT
IN PLACE I'M ASSUMING. ANYBODY
WOULD KNOW THAT. I DON'T THINK
ANYONE CAN ANSWER THAT BECAUSE
WE DON'T HAVE THAT DATA HELLO
INDIA ANSWER NOW WOULD BE
SPECULATION. OKAY SO I HOPE
WE'LL HAVE SOME. YES THE SONG
WITH THE CALIFORNIA'S
GLOBALIZATION WE HAVE CITY AND
THEY'RE TRANSPORTATION
DEPARTMENT HERE- IF WE CAN HAVE
AN A AS A- TECHNICAL EXPERT.
PLEASE GO AHEAD AND ANSWER
SEARCH ABOUT IT THAT THEY WERE
GETTING STUCK IN A CIRCLE HERE
SO TO WE CAN MOVE ON. TO THE
DATA. THANK YOU GOOD MORNING
GOOD MORNING ANNA BORDER
SUBSTANCE CONTRAST. WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION L. A.'S
DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE ANY
REGULATION THEY HAVE POLICY IT'S
UP TO EACH INDIVIDUAL L. A. A.
WHETHER OR NOT THEY PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION ONE. BUT THEY
DON'T AND CANNOT- REGULATES WHAT
THEY CAN DO IS SAY WELL IF WE
GOING TO CONTRACT WITH A PRIVATE
CARRIER WE REQUIRE THIS OKAY AS
A POLICY OKAY SO POLICY BUT SAME
DIFFERENCE YOU'RE YOU'RE TRYING
TO. HAVE CERTAIN STANDARDS IN
PLACE FOR PEOPLE THAT YOU
CONTRACT AS A SCHOOL DISTRICT
AND I'M SURE THAT THEY'RE
LOOKING INTO WHEN THEY LOOK AT
THESE CONTRACTS. THEY'RE LOOKING
AT THE LIABILITY THAT COMES
ALONG. WITH CONTRACTING WITH ANY
. A AB. IN ANY SPACE. THAT THEY
MAY BE CONTRACTING TO THE NOT
RESPONSIVE GOING TO WE'RE GOING
TO THE YOU KNOW X. Y. Z. AND NOT
PUT SOMETHING AS A REQUIREMENT
BEHIND IT AND I'M AND I'M SAYING
THIS IS A FORMER SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBER. THAT WE'RE NOT GOING TO
HIRE SOMEBODY UNLESS WE HAVE
CERTAIN STANDARDS OR
REQUIREMENTS- IN ORDER TO
PROTECT OUR CHILDREN- BECAUSE-
ULTIMATELY OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS
THE SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN. AND
I GUESS THE REAL POINT TO SOONER
SCHEDULES IS WHAT ARE THE
STANDARDS OR THE UNIFORMED
BECAUSE TO STAY- AND- REYES WHO
THROUGH THE READER YES SIR WELL.
YEAH I DON'T BUT DON'T WANNA
HEAR FROM YOU NEXT FOR YOU YOU
FIRST OKAY SO. AND YOU'RE GONNA
DRESS THE C. U. P. AND HOW THEY
DO THAT I WANT TO KNOW SO WE
TOOK WE HEARD ABOUT BUS DRIVERS
HOW DO. WHO DO THE BUS DRIVERS
REPORT TO AND WHAT'S THE DATE ON
THAT IN TERMS OF SAFETY DO YOU
EYES ANY OF THAT ABSOLUTELY.
RIGHT NOW CURRENTLY THERE ARE
OVER SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND
CERTIFIED SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL
REGULATES ALL MATTERS PERTAINING
TO SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION. AND OF
THE CALIFORNIA HAS THE BEST
SAFETY RECORD WE OPERATE TWENTY
FOUR THOUSAND SCHOOL BUSES ON A
DAILY BASIS WITH ALL MANDATORY
TRAINING MANDATORY BACKGROUND
FINGERPRINTING- AND- THE DATA IS
COLLECTED IN THE REGARDS TO
SCHOOL BUS ACCIDENTS OR DO YOU
EYES. THROUGH THE DEPARTMENT OF
MOTOR VEHICLES IN CALIFORNIA
HIGHWAY PATROL WHICH THEN
HIGHWAY PATROL PRESENTS THAT
REPORT ONCE A YEAR. TO TO THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS WHAT THEY
DO. I DO NOT HAVE THE NUMBERS
THROUGH HOW MANY ARE DO YOU WISE
BUT THERE IS A PROCESS IN PLACE.
THROUGH A STATUTE REQUIREMENTS
IN VEHICLE CODE THAT BUS DRIVERS
- MEETS OUR CRITERIA- I KNOW THE
EMILY SPOKE ABOUT A POINT- FOR
CDL IN A SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS
APPOINT A ONE THRESHOLD WHEN
OPERATING A SCHOOL BUS. THAT
THEY WOULD BE TAKEN OUT OF
SERVICE SO NOT ONLY ARE WE
COMPLY WITH FEDERAL STANDARDS
WERE ALSO COMPLYING WITH STATE
STANDARDS AS WELL TO ENSURE THAT
WE HAVE THE. SAFEST DRIVERS OUT
IN THE VEHICLES. WELL THAT'S
GOOD SO YOU GOT A RECORD THREE
PER IN PLACE THAT DOESN'T TELL
ME HOUSE THE DRY ARE SO I WOULD
LIKE TO. TAKE A TEST TO SEE TO
SEE THAT DATA MAKE ANOTHER PART
CENTER UP THERE YEAH I GOT JUST
ONE OTHER QUESTION SO MY
UNDERSTANDING MY STEPS IN SOME
RESEARCH ON THIS. AND WE ARE
BEHIND ON THE NUMBER OF SCHOOL
BUS DRIVERS WE CURRENTLY NEED IF
WE WERE TO CHANGE THIS MODEL.
WHAT'S WHAT'S THE PLAN FIRST
WHAT'S THE PLAN TO GET UP TO
SPEED NOW AND HOW WE GET IF WE
GET READY I'M CONCERNED. ONE OUT
OF EVERY THREE FOSTER USE IN L.
A. COUNTY WAS TEN POINT THREE
MILLION PEOPLE RESIDE IN MY
DISTRICT. MANY OF THOSE. YOUNG
PEOPLE COME FROM. LOS ANGELES
ARE NOW LIVING IN THE IN THE
HIGH DESERT. I DON'T SEE. A BY
TWO MORE SCHOOL BUSES ON THE
FOURTEEN FREEWAY THAT ALREADY
HAS EIGHTY FIVE THOUSAND-
DRIVERS TODAY GOING DOWN THERE
SO. SO WHAT'S THE PLAN ON SCHOOL
BUS DRIVERS TAKE TO GET TO THE
NUMBER YOU NEED COULD YOU CAN
YOU KNOW EVEN CURRENTLY FILLING
THE NEED. SO RIGHT- INDIVIDUALLY
OUT L. A. AS WHERE THAT WHAT
HAPPENED NOT AT THE STATE LEVEL
WRITER SO IT'S EACH INDIVIDUAL
TRANSPORTATION PROVIDER WHETHER
IT'S A PRIVATE CARRIER OR
WHETHER IT IS A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND THEY'RE CONSTANTLY TRAINING
CONSTANTLY BRINGING DRIVERS AND
FOLKS THAT ARE RETIRING AND
LEAVING AND THEN- DO YOU KNOW SO
THAT THAT'S ALWAYS. WHAT THEY'RE
WORKING TOWARDS- A FOSTER YOUTH
HOMELESS EACH OF THE COUNTIES
HAVE- ADVOCATE AT THE COUNTY
OFFICE OF ED. IF THAT IS A
MANDATED SERVICE THOSE THINGS
ARE PROVIDED. TO THAT CHILD SO
THEY DO ARE THEY HAVE A PROCESS
IN PLACE TO BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY
OF SERVICE OF TRANSPORTATION
WOULD BE MANDATED AS WELL GREAT
THANK YOU I'M SORRY ABOUT THAT
SENATOR. JOE BUT I JUST. SHE WAS
ALREADY UP THERE SO. GO AHEAD
JOB. M. SO. I AM EXTREMELY
CONCERNED ABOUT JUST IN GENERAL
I JUST. TO ANYONE I'M- I'M JUST
REALLY CONCERNED THAT WE ARE.
SUBJECTING AN INDUSTRY. TO A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL AND WHEN
INDIVIDUAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ALREADY AND I TRUST YOU KNOW WE
TALK ABOUT. UNLESS THERE'S A
PROBLEM WE HAVE TO TRUST THOSE
IN LEADERSHIP TO MAKE SURE THAT
THEY'RE MAKING THE BEST
DECISIONS FOR THEIR SCHOOL
DISTRICT TO BE ABLE TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF THE STUDENT POPULATION
IN THOSE AREAS. AND HAVING COME
FROM A- MEDIUM I GUESS. NOT AS
BIG AS LA BUT A MEDIUM HIGH
SCHOOL DISTRICT- AND HAVING MET
MANY SUPERINTENDENTS THROUGHOUT
THE DISTRICT AND- THROUGHOUT AB
THE STATE OUT THAT I'M GETTING
TO ME- I KNOW THAT THEY DO. THE
BEST. JOB THAT THEY HAVE THEIR
TRAINING AND THEIR SAFETY OF
THEIR CHILDREN ARE THE NUMBER
ONE PRIORITY. I REALLY WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE THE
ABILITY TO HAVE FLEXIBILITY IN
SCHOOL DISTRICTS BE ABLE TO
HAVE- TRANSPORTATION NEEDS FOR
THEIR STUDENTS. AND UNLESS WE
HAVE A COMPELLING RECENT- TO
REQUIRE THEM TO HAVE ADDITIONAL
TRAININGS ARE DISHING OR
WHATEVER. YOU KNOW WE WE'RE
ASKING THEM TO DO HERE IN
ADDITION TO WHAT THEY ALREADY
HAVE AND IN WHICH BY THE WAY
MANY OF THE SERVICES ALREADY
CONTRACTED BY PEOPLE HERONS
THEMSELVES WHO. I'M SURE VETS.
MANY OF THESE- COMPANIES BEFORE
USING THEM. SO I'M I'M I'M I'M
LOOKING AT IS I'M NOT SURE THAT
THIS IS NEEDED AT THE AT THIS
TIME I WOULD I WOULD BE
SUPPORTIVE IS ACTUALLY PERHAPS
DOING A REPRICING OF STUDY. TO
GATHER THE DATA TO. ANALYZE AND
COMPARE WHETHER OR NOT THERE IS
A NEED FOR SUCH A BILL- WE'VE
DONE THAT IN OTHER SPACES WHERE
WE- WERE WE LOOK AND WE DO EIGHT
EIGHT A STUDY AND BASED ON THE
STUDIES IF THERE IS A COMPELLING
REASON. THERE'S A LACK OF SAFETY
ORDER'S BEEN- INCIDENTS WHERE AB
. IT QUESTIONS WHETHER OR NOT
THIS MEETS THE NEEDS OF THE OR
THE SAFETY CENTERS OF THE
CHILDREN. I'M NOT SURE WHY WE'RE
WE'RE PROPOSING SUCH A
TRANSPORTATION BUT I'D BE
WILLING TO SUPPORT A STUDY TO
COLLECT THE DATA BEFORE WE START
MANDATING A NEW INDUSTRY WITH
SANDERS THAT MAY COMPROMISE THE
ABILITY FOR STUDENTS. TO GET TO
SCHOOL OR FOR PARENTS TO
CONTRACT AND BE ABLE TO MAKE
MEET THE NEEDS OF THE CHILDREN
PEOPLE TO BE TRANSPORTED TO THE
DIFFERENT ACTIVITIES THAT THEY
NEED TO ROUTE. SO I'M- I'M NOT
SURE IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO SHARE
YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT BUT- THOSE
ARE SOME OF MY HEART FELT
APPRECIATED. I THINK THIS
REASONABLE RESERVE YOUR CLOTHES.
WE GOT IT LET ME LET ME BRING IT
BACK. AND REFRAME IT FIRST. YOUR
I THOUGHT YOU USE TERMS KIND OF
STRESS GOES MOSTLY CHAIRING
ANOTHER COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW IT
IS A REALLY DON'T LOOK STRESSED
YOU KNOW THIS IS REALLY
IMPORTANT ISSUE PLEASE FOR SO WE
IF WE COULD BRING UP THE
OPPONENTS BECAUSE THEY SEE THAT
THEY ARE REGULATED BY THE C. I.
P. YOU SEE- THE AUTHOR SAYS IF
THEY'RE NOT SO I SAID THEY ARE
NOT. IF THEY ARE CONTRACTED OKAY
LEAVE BY THE SCHOOL OKAY THEN I
STAND CORRECTED. COULD YOU SHED
MORE LIGHT ON THAT I WANT TO
ELABORATE ON THAT SO ACTUALLY
THE PC DISTINGUISHES BETWEEN.
VEHICLES FOR SOLELY FOR STUDENT
TRANSPORTATION AND VEHICLES OR
COMPANIES OR SERVICES THAT DO
THINGS BEYOND THAT ARE NOT
EXCLUSIVE TO SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION. THAT MIGHT
PROVIDE YEAR ROUND SERVICE OR
MIGHT AS WE DO PROVIDE SERVICES
EXACTLY A FAMILIES TO CONTRACT
WITH US AS WELL. SO WE ARE STILL
WE ARE RATE REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER WE ARE CONTRACTING WITH
A SCHOOL DISTRICT OR NOT WE ARE
REGULATED BY THE P. U. C. AS
PART OF THAT. WE PROVIDE
REPORTING TO THE PC ON AN ANNUAL
BASIS SO WE DO HAVE DATA ON OUR
SAFETY RECORD WE ALSO SELF
PUBLISHED A SAFETY DATA A SAFETY
REPORT EVERY SINGLE YEAR.
BECAUSE WE THINK THAT IT IS
IMPORTANT YOU GUYS WERE THE ONLY
ONES IN THE SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION SPACE THAT I'M
AWARE OF. THAT PUBLISHES THE
SAFETY REPORT WE'VE HAD ZERO
CRITICAL SAFETY INCIDENCES IN
THE EIGHT YEARS OF OUR OPERATION
AND IN THE THREE YEARS SINCE
WE'VE BEEN PUBLISHING THE
REPORT. SO WE ARE REGULATED
THERE IS DATA OUT THERE SO I DID
JUST WANT TO ADDRESS THAT. GREAT
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR THAT. SO
JUST MAKE IT AYE I DON'T THINK I
HAVE ANY MORE QUESTIONS YOU HAVE
A COUPLE COMMENTS SO I. TOOK A
SCHOOL BUS FOR TWO YEARS IN
JUNIOR HIGH SEVENTH AND EIGHTH
GRADE. OUR BUS DRIVER WAS
CLARENCE. YOU REMEMBER HIM
TODAY'S LIKE SIX FOOT FOUR CREW
CUT. BY HARD BUT REALLY SOFT TO
WAS GREAT GUY STILL REMEMBER HIM
FONDLY. SO POURTANT ROLE THAT
DAD'S SCHOOL BUS DRIVERS DO AND
I SALUTE THEM FOR DOING IT- I
THINK I'M WITH THE CENTER JOE
ABOVE THAT. I'M NOT SURE IF
THERE'S A PROBLEM THERE AGAIN.
THESE THESE FOSTER YOUTH I'VE
DONE A LOT IN THIS SPACE.
BECAUSE MY HARD TO GOES OUT FOR
THEM. IS THAT THAT'S THERE
THAT'S WHAT THEY- WALK THROUGH
EVERY DAY. AND THIS IS A SERVICE
I THINK ALLOWS HIM TO HAVE SOME
SEMBLANCE OF STABILITY- I JUST
YOU KNOW FOR MY DISTRICT MODE
MOST THESE KIDS END UP GOING.
THEY CALL DOWN BELOW WHEN YOU.
IN THE HIGH DESERT YOU GOT A LOS
ANGELES IS CALLED DOWN BELOW.
AND IF IT DOES IT DOES DOES OR
LONG THOSE ARE MY COMMUNITY I
CAN'T SEE OF ALL THESE BUSES.
BUSES ON THERE. AND I'M NOT I'M
NOT SURE. MAYBE THERE'S SOME
THINGS WE NEED TO DO TO TIED IT
UP I CERTAINLY I THINK THIS IS
SERVICES THAT. CHILDREN
DISABILITIES AND HOMELESS YOUTH
IN FOSTER YOUTH- RELYING ON. IN
ORDER. TO GET THE EDUCATION THEY
NEED TO LIFT THEMSELVES UP SO
WITH THAT I'M GONNA I'M GONNA BE
NO TODAY- YOU'RE GOOD AUTHOR SO
I'M HOPING YOU WORK WITH
EVERYBODY AND MAYBE THERE IS. A
SWEET SPOT THERE. WERE WE ENSURE
ALL STUDENTS ARE SAFE BY DRIVING
CARS NOT THE SAME IS DRIVING A
BUS SO. ANYWAY WITH THAT YOU'RE
A GOOD GUIDE SERVICE SAID ABOUT
HAVING CLEARANCE- CLEARLY HAD A
BIG IMPACT ON. THE VERY PROUD.
OF THE PERSON YOU BECOME.
ABSOLUTELY BUT LET'S TALK
SPECIFICALLY IT BUT FIRST
BAPTIST SENATOR. REID SKINNER TO
THE AMENDMENTS EACH OF THOSE
MASS TO ALIGN- THE LANGUAGE BUT
THE VEHICLE ED ENCODES. WE WILL
HAVE TO GO TO THE NOW YOU CAN
RESERVE A FREE CLOTHES FOR YOU
THINK SO I CAN JUST QUICKLY SAY
THEY'RE CHANGING THE EIGHT
PASSENGER LIMIT TO TEN INCLUDING
THE DRIVER. THEY'RE REMOVING THE
TWO YEAR EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENT
AND THEY ARE MENDING THE DUTY
AND DRIVE TIME REQUIREMENTS. TO
ALIGN WITH CURRENT CALIFORNIA
REX. AMENDMENTS SEARCH HILLS ME
IN THE YOU KNOW QUICKLY WE GET.
SEE WILL POINT WHICH I THINK IS
YOU. AND RESPECT FOR OUR- HAS
SPOKE A LITTLE BIT OF IT TO THE
EXTENT THAT. LIKE COULD. SERVE
A- SPECIFIC CLIENTELE- CLIENTELE
THAT THEY GENERALLY IS WE DON'T
DISTRIBUTED FAR AND WIDE. AND
FOR WHOM THE SERVICES LIKE
BUSES. IT WAS ELEAZAR TOWARD FOR
THEM TO ALLOCATE THE RESOURCES
TO KIND OF ONCE YOU TO SEE PIC
FOLKS UP SO YOU KNOW THAT THAT'S
FOSTER KIDS SPECIALLY KIDS. YOU
KNOW HOW TO HOW DO WE THINK
ABOUT THAT RIGHT BECAUSE BECAUSE
WE CAN MAKE THESE CHANGES AND
STILL WIND UP. WITH A SITUATION
WHERE ELEAZAR STILL HARD PRESSED
IN THE ABSENCE OF BEING ABLE
COUNTRY WITH TNCS TO PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE
SPECIFIC STUDENTS IN THEIR
NEEDS. WELL AS I OPENED. BEFORE
OUR BUDGET ACTION CALIFORNIA WAS
DEAD LAST IN TERMS OF. ITS
PROVISION OF HOME SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION WHAT THAT MINUTES
WE DID NOT FUND OUR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO DO SO. SO OF COURSE
IF OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS WERE NOT
FUNDED BY US. THEN YOU KNOW
THERE ARE MANY OF THEM LOOKED TO
THESE CREATIVE- TYPE OF
SOLUTIONS. I'M ACTUALLY MANY OF
THE DISTRICTS IN MY AREA STILL
USE SMALL SCHOOL BUSES TO
TRANSPORT. THERE ARE SOME
SPECIAL NEEDS KIDS ARE KIDS WITH
DISABILITIES. THEY DON'T
CONTRACT WITH ANOTHER ENTITY SO
IT DEPENDS ON THE DISTRICT- BUT
I THINK WHAT NOW THAT WE HAVE
EXPANDED THE FUNDING. ANTICS THE
EXPECTATION. OF PROVISION OF
SCHOOL HOME TO SCHOOL THAT'S
WHEN. WE WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE ARE DOING IT IN A WAY THAT
MAKE SAFETY PARAMOUNT- SO. YOU
KNOW HOW MUCH SCHOOL DISTRICTS
HAVE UTILIZED THESE OTHER
SERVICES BECAUSE OF THEIR LACK
OF FUNDING I DON'T KNOW. YOU
KNOW I CAN'T AND- BUT WE
CERTAINLY. IF THEY WANT TO
CONTINUE WE JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE. THAT THEIR DRIVERS HAVE
MEET THE SAME TYPE OF
REQUIREMENTS AND SAFETY EXPECTED
TO THE EXTENT THAT THEY DO OR
THAT THEY THAT THEY MEET THOSE
STANDARDS NOTHING WOULD
PRECLUDE. THEM FROM CONTRACTING
WITH ROUGHLY TNC LIKE HUSKY
TRUCK SO MISS MCFARLAND I KNOW
YOU'RE STILL HERE AT THE EDGE SO
IF YOU COULD VERY BRIEFLY SPEAK
TO THAT- AND YOUR SPECIFICALLY
WHAT WHAT WOULD PREVENT HOP SKIP
DRIVE IN OTHER COMPANIES LIKE
YOU FROM MEETING THAT STANDARD
WHILE STILL PROVIDING A SERVICE
TO THE CLIENTELE WHICH- WE
DISCUSSED. YES SO I THINK ARE
YOU KNOW THERE ARE THINGS IN THE
BILL THAT I THINK WE AGREE WITH
I THINK THERE'S- THE WAY THAT
THEY'RE BEING MANDATED THAT WE
DON'T AGREE WITH THEM. AND YOU
KNOW WE ARE REGULATED BY THE TO
SOME OF THOSE REGULATIONS ARE
JUST. CONFLICTING WITH
REGULATIONS THAT WE ARE ALREADY
SUBJECT TO UNDER THE PC AND SO
TO BE PUTTING US UNDER DUAL AND
OFTEN CONFLICTING REGULATIONS
WHICH MAKE IT VERY DIFFICULT AND
I'M GETTING RIGHT OR THE OR THE
CONTRADICTORY OR SIMPLY ONE
HIGHER THAN THE OTHER. THERE
SOME OF THEM ARE SIMPLY
CONTRADICTORY LIKE TWO DIFFERENT
RULES FOR FINGERPRINTING WHICH
ARE TOTALLY CONTRADICTORY IT
WOULD MEAN WE WOULD NEED TO
FINGERPRINT DRIVERS TWICE. TO DO
THE SAME THING. AND SOME OF THEM
ARE ALSO WE BELIEVE THAT WE
ACTUALLY MEET EVERY SINGLE
SAFETY REQUIREMENT IN THAT BILL
WE JUST MIGHT DO IN A SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT WAY. SO YOU KNOW WE
DON'T DRUG TEST DRIVERS. AB AND
WE DON'T PUT THEM THROUGH A
RANDOM DRUG TEST THAT THEY MIGHT
GET TESTED ONCE A QUARTER OR
ONCE A YEAR. BUT WE ARE USING
TELEMATICS TO DETERMINE REAL
TIME DRIVING BEHAVIOR WE CAN SEE
IF A DRIVER SPEEDING IF THEY'RE
DRIVING A RADICALLY. WE CAN SEE
IF THEY'RE USING A PHONE WHILE
THEY'RE DRIVING AND DISTRACTED
DRIVING IS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
REASONS FOR ACCIDENTS. WE
BELIEVE THAT WE ARE MEETING THE
INTENT WE ARE JUST DOING IT. IN
A MODEL THAT MEETS THE NEEDS OF
SOMEBODY WHO MIGHT BE DRIVING.
THREE HOURS A WEEK BECAUSE YOU
HEARD AND OF THE CALLS WE ARE
GRAHAM. LIVING IN THERE CAN.
YOUR TO HELPING OUR DISTRICT WHO
ARE. STAFFED TO DO HAVE. THAT
TEAM THAT THEY NEED TO DO THESE
THINGS. AND WE'RE BRINGING
PEOPLE FROM THE COMMUNITY. TO
HELP PROVIDE THE SERVICES AND SO
WE ARE PROVIDING ALL OF THAT
SAFETY. IS DOING IT THE WAY THAT
MEET SOMEBODY DRIVING A PERSONAL
VEHICLE AND NOT DRIVING AT FULL
TIME PASSED. AND I GUESS WHERE
I'M CONCERNED I THINK I'M
PICKING UP ON WORK. SOONER WOULD
LIFT UP. IS YOU KNOW ADDITIONAL
FUNDS WONDERFUL RIGHT WE CAN
INCREASE OUR TRANSPORTATION
RESOURCES SCHOOL DISTRICT. BUT
BUT WE DO WORRY THAT THERE WILL
BE UNMET NEEDS. RIDE SPECIAL ED
KIDS. FOSTER KIDS THAT'S A
CLIENTELE ATTENTION YOU SERVE.
IT'S A CENTER SKINNER YOU KNOW
AGAIN. IT IS POSSIBLE AS WE MOVE
FORWARD THAT THAT SCHOOL
DISABILITY CREASE THEIR
TRANSPORTATION. RESOURCES BUT
THEY STILL WILL BE IN A POSITION
TO SERVE WELL. YOU KNOW THESE
VERY SPECIFIC USE CASES. SO
WHAT'S WHAT'S YOUR APPROACH TO
THAT MOVING FORWARD WELL. DONE I
GUESS I WOULD RAISE THAT YOU
KNOW TNCS ARE RELATIVELY NEW-
TRANSPORTATION SERVICE IN THE
SPACE. AND YET WE'VE HAD KIDS
WITH SPECIAL NEEDS AND FOSTER
KIDS. WITHIN DISTRICTS FOR.
DECADES. SO I GUESS IT'S- IT'S-
I THINK IT'S- GREAT THAT YOU
HAVE A- NEW. INNOVATION IN
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES BUT WHY.
THEY WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MEET.
THE REQUIREMENTS THAT WE EXPECT
FOR SAFETY IS WHAT I WOULD THE
QUESTION. AND I CERTAINLY
WILLING TO LOOK AT. WHETHER
THERE ARE- REDUNDANT
REQUIREMENTS- BUT I THINK THAT
TO. WHAT WE HEAR FROM THE
OPERATOR IT'S GREAT SHE MAY USE
TELEMATICS. WHAT IF THE OTHER
TNC DOES NOT. BUT IN TWO AND THE
OTHER THING ABOUT TELEMATICS IS.
IF THAT DRIVER IS IMPAIRED IS
DRUNK FOR EXAMPLE. RIGHT YOU
MIGHT SEE THAT THEY'VE BEGUN TO
. FUNCTION A RADICALLY BUT THEN
HOW IS IT THAT YOU INTERVENE IF
THEY'RE DRUNK AND THEY HAVE THE
ACCIDENT THEN SCHOOL AFTER THE
FACT. SO THE BENEFIT OF WE DO
THIS KIND OF TESTING FOR CERTAIN
TYPES OF JOBS- AND OF COURSE
THIS IS ONE OF THOSE JOBS WERE
WHEN WOULD SAY YES IT'S PROBABLY
A GOOD IDEA TO DO SUCH RANDOM
TESTING. ON BUT I'M CERTAINLY
WILLING TO LOOK AT THOSE
REQUIREMENTS AND SEE WHAT MIGHT
BE MODIFIED TO. MAKE SURE THAT
SAFETY COMES FIRST AND THAT
THERE'S MAYBE NOT REDUNDANCIES
BUT I WOULDN'T LESSEN. LESSEN A
CERTAIN OF THE SAFETY
REQUIREMENTS INTO THAT'S FAIR
AND I THINK I APPRECIATE THEM
THROUGH THAT YOU DO AS WELL AS
THE FRONT SO AND I THINK IT HAS
BEEN SPOKEN I THINK IT'S CLEAR
THAT YOU KNOW SOME. DEMENTIA
THIS IS ABOUT LIABILITY RIGHT
IT'S IT IT'S NOT TO BE A SAFETY
THREAT PROTECTING ELEAZAR FROM
RENO PROPOSED SPECULATE MASSIVE
LIABILITIES IN THE EVENT. OF
ACCIDENTS RIGHTS ARE THERE THINK
THERE HAS TO BE CONSIDERED NO
AND THAT'S WHAT THESE GUYS
REGIMES ARE ABOUT AT LEAST IN
PART BY I WANT TO CLARIFY
SOMETHING THAT DOES CENTER TO
APPROACH ABOVE MENTIONED.
THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THIS
LEGISLATION THAT WOULD PRECLUDE
PARENTS FROM USING THE. SERVICES
AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE CORRECT.
RIGHT WHAT WHAT WHAT I'M- OR IS
THERE LIKE A I WANTED HAVE MY
RIVER. WHO NORMALLY WOULD GET
PUBLISHERS WOULD WOULD THEY BE
PRECLUDED FROM DOING IT'S ALL
OVER THE CALVET LOCAL AS A- NO
THERE IS A- IN THE BILL THIS IS
ALL FOR. A DRIVERS WHO ARE
COMPENSATED SO YOU ARE BEING. TO
DO THE JOB- AND- THESE ARE OUR-
I'M AND THAT IS A TOUGH BEEN
DRIVE WE HAD A MEETING WITH
THEM. AND WE HEARD THEIR STORIES
OF HOW THEY CREATED THE
ACCOMPANY- BUT THEY THEMSELVES
TOLD US THAT 95% OF THEIR
BUSINESS IS NOT ONE. BASED ON
CONTRACTS SO WE SEE THIS AS THIS
IS NOT A BUSINESS FOR. PARENTS
WHO ARE CONTRACTING AND THAT
USING THE SERVICE IT'S ACTUALLY
A SERVICE WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS
WHO SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE USING.
AND ASKED THE SENATOR SAYS THIS
IS NOTHING PROHIBITING THEM FROM
DOING THIS WORK AND PARENTS IF
THE IF THE PARENT AND I'M A
PARENT. OF A SEVEN YEAR OLD IF I
CHOOSE TO DO THAT THAT'S ON YOU
BUT I WILL NOT HAVE MY SCHOOL.
PUT MY SEVEN YEAR OLD INTO
STRANGERS CARS BECAUSE THEY'RE
CARE DRIVERS ARE STRANGERS. NOT
EMPLOYEES THEY ARE STRANGERS OF
THE COMPANY AND THE- THERE'S NO
GUARANTEE THAT IS COULD BE THE
SAME TRIED FOR LIKE OUR SCHOOL
DRESS DRIVERS WHO. ARE. DRIVING
ON A ROUTE. HEY I THINK YOU
CLEVERNESS THE DANISH CASE IS
IT'S A- WHERE THE L. E. A. S.
PAYING T. AND TO PROVIDE
SERVICE. AS DISTINCT FROM WHERE
I INDIVIDUAL YOU DON'T HAVE TO
GET CHILD TO SCHOOL I BY LIKE
USUALLY FOR. HOW TO GET DRIVERS
OKAY. APPRECIATE THAT YEAH ANY
OTHER. THAT WE- A FAIRLY
THOROUGH HE REJECTS- TO NINTH.
CIRCUIT WHICH IT WOULD YOU LIKE
TO CALL. I APPRECIATE THE-
PRODUCTIVE IN LIVELY TO. AND
FORTY WITH THE AMENDMENTS ARE.
AND I THINK THAT NOW THAT WE ARE
EXPANDING. OUR FUNDING FOR HOME
TO SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION WHICH
IS BEEN OVERDUE WE NEEDED TO I
CALIFORNIA BACK. PRE PROP
THIRTEEN WAS IN THE TOP FIVE IN
TERMS OF NUMBER OF IN TERMS OF-
HOME TO SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION
PROVISION WE DROPPED TO BOTTOM.
SO I THINK THIS IS A VERY
IMPORTANT ADVANCE. IN TWO WAYS
NUMBER ONE THAT WILL EXPAND FROM
SCHOOL TRANSPORTATION AND NUMBER
TWO THAT WE WOULD ENSURE THE
SAFETY WITHOUT I ASK FOR YOUR I.
BOATS. THANK YOU THANK YOU BUT I
DO WE DO NOT CURRENTLY HAVE A
QUORUM SO THANK YOU SOONER
SKINNER- AND ONCE WE ONCE WE
STEP YOU QUORUM. WE WILL BRING
THIS TO A ROLL CALL VOTE. THANKS
VERY MUCH. AND THANK EVERYBODY
FOR PATIENTS. THANK YOU TO ALL
OF THE WITNESSES. NINE ZERO.
WELCOME AYE AYE. YOU ARE NEXT
LOW PRESENTER- IT'S A GOOD- YOU
READ SENDING SOME BILL THREE TWO
ONE. EVEN THE MORE. YOUR OKAY
WELL WE'LL JUST WORK WITH MIKE.
OKAY I. WILL NOT TED. TAKE TOO
MUCH OF YOUR TIME HERE NOW WE'VE
HEARD THAT BEFORE. UNDERSTOOD
IMPERATIVE WE SPEAK THOUGH IF
CALM I CAN MEET. ALLEN THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR HAVE ME HERE TODAY
TO TALK ABOUT SENATE BILL THREE
TWO ONE THIS IS MY CATCH PHRASE
FOR YOU TO KEEP IN THE BACK YOUR
MIND THREE TWO ONE. READING IS
FUN THIS IS THE YOUTH LITERACY
ACT. AND I JUST THAT ONE START
OFF BY THANKING OUR STATE
LIBRARIAN WHO'S HERE WITH US
TODAY GREG LUCAS AND HIS
COMMITTEE STAFF LYNN LORBER
THEIR ASSISTANCE ON THIS BILL
HAS BEEN INCREDIBLE AND I AM
EXCITED TO PRESENT IT TO YOU.
OUR NUMBERS ARE STAGGERING HALF
OF THE COUNTRY'S THIRD GRADERS
AND TWO THIRDS OF BLACK STUDENTS
AND MORE THAN HALF OF LATINO
STUDENTS. DO NOT CURRENTLY READ
AT GRADE LEVEL STUDENTS THAT ARE
UNABLE TO MEET THIRD GRADE
READING LEVEL READING LEVELS ARE
FOUR TORRENT FOUR TIMES FOUR
TIMES IF THEY CAN'T READ. ON
GRADE LEVEL AT THIRD GRADE THEY
ARE FOUR TIMES LESS LIKELY TO
GRADUATE FROM HIGH SCHOOL. AND
HIGH SCHOOL DROPOUTS ARE FOUR
TIMES MORE LIKELY TO BE
ARRESTED. IN THEIR LIFETIME. AND
APPROXIMATELY 8585% OF THE YOUTH
IN OUR JUVENILE COURT SYSTEM ARE
DEEMED LOW LITERACY. SO THE
ABILITY TO READ IS A VERY STRONG
INDICATOR FROM AN EARLY AGE
ABOUT THE TRAJECTORY OF A YOUNG
PERSON'S LIFE. MEMBERS
CALIFORNIA THIS IS STAGGERING
READY FOR THIS CALIFORNIA. RANKS
LOWEST WORST BOTTOM. IN THE
ENTIRE NATION FOR THIRD GRADE
READING LEVELS THIS IS ACCORDING
TO A TWENTY TWENTY TWO NATIONAL
CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS
REPORT. WHICH IS THE ONE
EVERYONE USES TO FIGURE OUT
WHERE THIRD GRADERS R. COSTA
COUNTRY. WEALTHIEST STATE IN THE
NATION WE SHOULD BE AT THE TOP
OF THAT LIST. THIRTY SHOW THAT
IMMERSING CHILDREN IN BOOK
ORIENTED ENVIRONMENTS BUILDS
THEIR VOCABULARY. INCREASES
COGNITIVE SKILLS AND IMPROVES
EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES BUT WE KNOW
THAT WE KNOW THAT READING TO
KIDS MAKES EVERY DIFFERENCE IN
THE WORLD AND WE KNOW THAT KIDS
WHO HAVE ACCESS TO BOOKS AND
BOOK RICH ENVIRONMENTS DO
BETTER. TO ADDRESS THESE
INEQUITIES. IN MY COMMUNITY WHEN
I WAS ON THE SACRAMENTO CITY
COUNCIL I STAB WAS THE PILOT
PROJECT A PARTNERSHIP BETWEEN
THE SACRAMENTO PUBLIC LIBRARY IN
THE LOWEST PERFORMING SCHOOL IN
MY DISTRICT. WE WENT INTO THE
THIRD GRADE AND WE GAVE A MALL.
LIBRARY CARDS AND THEN WE SAT
BACK AND SAW WHAT HAPPENED. AND
THAT SUMMER OUR SUMMER READING
NUMBERS SKYROCKETED AT THE
SCHOOL CLOSE AT THE LIBRARY
CLOSEST TO THAT SCHOOL. THE
LIBRARIANS PRESENTED THOSE
STUDENTS WITH THE RESOURCES
AVAILABLE TO THEM GIVEN THE
LIBRARY CARDS BUT THEY ALSO GAVE
THEM SOMETHING ELSE. A PASSPORT
TO LEARNING IN EDUCATION IN
THEIR OWN TIME ON THE SUMMER
WHEN THEY WANTED TO COME IN AND
CHECK OUT WHATEVER BOOKS THEY
WOULD LIKE AND USE THEIR
IMAGINATION TO. TRAVEL WHEREVER
THEY MIGHT LIKE TO GO. THAT
PILOT PROGRAM WAS SO SUCCESSFUL.
THAT SACRAMENTO COUNTY
REPLICATED IN FIVE ADDITIONAL
SCHOOLS. PROGRAMS LIKE THAT
EXIST IN SEVERAL COUNTIES ACROSS
OUR STATE. L. A. IN PALO ALTO
BOTH HAVE STRONG PROGRAMS. IT IS
VITAL THAT WE EXPAND LITERACY
INITIATIVES THAT WE KNOW WORK.
AND MAKE THEM STATEWIDE. SB
THREE TWO ONE REQUIRES ARE
AMAZING STATE LIBRARIAN AND HIS
TEAM. TO FACILITATE PARTNERSHIPS
BETWEEN LOCAL PUBLIC LIBRARIES.
AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS. TO ISSUE
STUDENT SUCCESS CARDS TO THIRD
GRADE STUDENTS. THAT MEANS
THEY'LL ALL HAVE ACCESS TO THEIR
PUBLIC LIBRARY AND TO OUR STATE
LIBRARY. IT ALSO REQUIRES THE
STATE LIBRARY TO REPORT OUTCOME
DATA THE LEGISLATURE SO WE CAN
TRACK HOW WE'RE DOING WITH THOSE
THIRD GRADERS. THIS BILL WOULD
HELP ENSURE THAT ALL CHILDREN
REGARDLESS OF SOCIOECONOMIC
STATUS CAN SUCCEED IN SCHOOL AND
LIFE. THROUGH EDUCATION BY
CREATING PUBLIC LIBRARY
PARTNERSHIPS WITH SCHOOLS. SB
THREE TWO ONE ENSURES THE
CALIFORNIA GIVES OUR STUDENTS
THE RESOURCES THEY NEED TO
SUCCEED AND I WILL JUST CLOSE
WITH THIS STATEMENT I'M REALLY
HONORED TO HAVE JUST ONE CO
AUTHOR AND THAT IS PRO TIM TONI
ATKINS BECAUSE SHE TOO BELIEVES
IN THE POWER. OF THE LIBRARY.
AND I CHOSE THIRD GRADE FOR A
REASON BECAUSE ALL OF THE
STUDIES SHOW THAT THIRD GRADE IS
THE POINT AT WHICH STUDENTS GO
FROM LEARNING TO READ. TO
READING TO LEARN WHICH IS AN
IMPORTANT AND CRITICAL TIME. IN
A CHILD'S LIFE COLLEAGUES I ASK
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE I HAVE WITH ME
TO WITNESSES. THE FIRST TO
TESTIFY IS GREG LUCAS ARE
CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARIAN MUCH
BELOVED AND OUR SECOND IS
CRYSTAL MILES WHO'S THE PUBLIC
SERVICE MANAGER FOR MY OWN HOME
SACRAMENTO PUBLIC LIBRARY. SHE'S
ALSO CO CHAIR OF THE CALIFORNIA
LIBRARY ASSOCIATION'S
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. THANK YOU
CENTER AS YOU MUCH BELOVED.
STATE LIBRARY AND WELCOME YEAH
WHO KNOWS YEAH I'M GREG LUCAS
CALIFORNIA STATE LIBRARIAN I'VE
HAD THIS JOB FOR NINE YEARS
THANK YOU CENTER. AND IN THE
NINE YEARS I'VE BEEN AT THE
STATE LIBRARY WE WE'VE YET TO
FIND A SINGLE NEGATIVE
CONSEQUENCE. OF PROVIDING MORE
CALIFORNIANS PARTICULARLY SCHOOL
KIDS- WITH ACCESS OR PASSPORT TO
THE- ONLINE AND IN PERSON
RESOURCES THAT ARE OFFERED. AT
CALIFORNIA'S. ONE THOUSAND ONE
HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN
COMMUNITY LIBRARIES. OKAY
AWESOME TESTIMONY THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. WHAT WILL PUT I THOUGHT
YOU WOULD BE BRIEF I WELL AND
THEN WE LOVE IT SHOULD THE GROUP
. LUCAS HAS BEEN SO THANK YOU.
UNITARY JIM THIS MONTH. GOOD
WELCOME MR AND MEMBERS I AM A
LITTLE LESS BELOVED I'M NOT AT
ALL I LOVE THAT YOU HAVE YOUR
TEST. MORE BELOW AND NOT QUITE
AS BRIEF- I'M REPRESENTING THE
CALIFORNIA LIBRARY ASSISTS THIS
SEASON TODAY AS THE CO CHAIR OF
THEIR LEGISLATION AND ADVOCACY
COMMITTEE- I FIRST WANT TO THANK
SENATOR ASHBY AS WELL AS LESLIE
IN HER OFFICE AND YOUR CHIEF
CONSULTANT LYNN LORBER. FOR ALL
OF THE WORK THAT THEY'VE DONE IN
CRAFTING SB THREE TWENTY ONE A
CLA IS PLEASED TO SUPPORT THE
BILL AS IT IS AMENDED. BY THE
LIBRARY PROFESSIONAL FOR OVER
TEN YEARS I'VE BEEN ABLE TO
WITNESS FIRSTHAND THE JOY
EXCITEMENT AND IMPACT THAT
READING PROVIDES TO THE CHILDREN
OF OUR COMMUNITY. THE LIBRARY
PROVIDES SO MUCH FOR STUDENTS
INCLUDING LITERACY EDUCATION
ACCESS TO BASIC TECHNOLOGY LIVE
HOMEWORK HELP AND FREE LUNCH
DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. WITH
ACCESS TO THE LIBRARY IT FEELS
HOPEFUL THAT EVERY CHILD MIGHT
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE
CONNECTED WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE
TO LIFT THEM UP REGARDLESS OF
WHAT THEY MAY BE FACING A HOME.
LATER IN THE OF TO ENGAGE WITH
BOOK IS ONE OF THE MOST CRUCIAL
ELEMENTS OF MAKING YOUR WAY OUT
OF POVERTY. AS IT'S ALREADY BEEN
SAID RESEARCH SHOWS THAT BY
THIRD GRADE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE
BASIC GRADE LEVEL LITERACY
SKILLS YOU ARE LESS LIKELY TO
ESCAPE POVERTY. OR SUCCEED ON
THE SAME TRAJECTORY AS YOUR
PEERS WHO ARE READING AT GRADE
LEVEL. YOU ARE ALSO MORE LIKELY
TO BE INCARCERATED. CURRENTLY
CALIFORNIA HAS THE LOWEST
LITERACY RATE IN OUR NATION THIS
MEANS THAT MOST CHILDREN IN THE
STATE ARE NOT GOING TO MAKE IT
INTO THE FOURTH GRADE WITH
LITERACY SKILLS NEEDED. TO BREAK

QUESTION SO I'M GOING TO ASK A
QUESTION FOR HER SO THIS IS
COMING FROM HER NOT ME. YEAH SHE
WANTS TO KNOW AIR THEY ARE THERE
ANY COSTS TO THE L. E. AS THE
IMPLEMENT THIS PROGRAM AND IF SO
WHO'S PAYING IT. IF YOU DIDN'T
ALREADY LOVE OUR STATE LIBRARIAN
YOU WILL LOVE HIM NOW GREG. OKAY
GREAT LOOK AT FROM THE LINE. THE
BELOVED. WE LEFT THAT OUT.
BECAUSE IT'S- RIGHT I YEAH- WE
DON'T THINK SO IN THE IN THE
ARRAY. THAT EXIST IN. LOK BUT TO
LOCAL THAT'S AND A LOT. NOW
THERE ISN'T REALLY A COST AND X.
EXCEPT SORT OF THE PRINTING OF
CARDS AND THAT BECOMES AN ISSUE
IT ONLY IF YOU USE PHYSICAL
CARDS. SO FOR EXAMPLE LA UNIFIED
HAS AN MO YOU WITH. L. A. CITY
LIBRARY. AND THEY'VE CONVERTED
IT TO IT'S A DIGITAL
ARRANGEMENTS SO IT'S ALMOST LIKE
JUST A- THOUGHT IT'S NOT A Q. CO
BUT LIKE A BAR CODE KIND OF
THING. AND SO THAT'S THE LIBRARY
CARD SO THAT THAT'S ALMOST NO
EXPENSE WHATSOEVER THERE SOME
TIME INVOLVED. BUT IT'S MINIMUMS
LIKE GOOD TIME YOU KNOW RUNNING
GREAT THANK YOU FOR THAT AND I
CAN SET ON TO THE SENATOR. IT
STARTED OFF WITH A LITTLE BIT OF
A COST BUT THE REALITY IS THAT
THE STATE LIBRARIAN REALLY
STEPPED UP. AND HAS OFFERED A
LOT OF SUPPORT AND HELP AND-
REALLY BELIEVES IN IN IN THE
OPPORTUNITY HERE THE THING IS
THIS ISN'T REALLY ABOUT JUST
GIVING KIDS ACCESS TO LIBRARIES.
IT'S ABOUT MAKING SURE THEY KNOW
WHERE THEIR LIBRARY IS AND WHAT
THAT LIBRARY MEANS FOR THEM AND
MODERN DAY LIBRARIES ARE ABOUT A
LOT MORE THAN BOOKS THESE ARE
THE GREAT EQUALIZER OF TODAY.
IT'S A PLACE WHERE EVERYONE CAN
GET THE INTERNET WHERE YOU CAN
GET HOMEWORK HELP. THESE
LIBRARIES FEED KIDS THERE'S
EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN THESE
LIBRARIES SO GETTING THEM ACCESS
IS CRITICAL. NO I UNDERSTAND
THAT SO ON THE FUTURE I MEAN I'M
I'M A PASS. TRUSTEE OF A OF A
CITY LIBRARY AND I'M TALKING
ABOUT IN THE LATE EIGHTIES AND
WE'RE LIKE THE FIRST LIKE WE'RE
LIKE THE FIRST LATCHKEY PROGRAM
THAT I'M EVEN AWARE OF BECAUSE-
THERE'S ALL THESE KIDS THERE SO
WE STARTED AFTER. AFTER SCHOOL
PROGRAMS AND STUFF WE DIDN'T GO
TO THE EXTENT OF FEEDING THEM
BUT I UNDERSTAND HOW IMPORTANT
LIBRARIES ARE TO COMMUNITY AND I
THINK THIS IS GREAT AND I PLAN
TO SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY. THANK
YOU CENTER WORK SO WE DON'T WE
DON'T HAVE A QUORUM AS OF YET-
ABSENT RASH IF YOU LIKE TO CLOSE
AND YOU MOVE ONTO YOUR NEXT
ITEM. I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME.

THANK YOU FOR YOUR PATIENCE.
OKAY THANK YOU. VERY YES SIR
INSERTED ARE YOU WITH. SB THREE
TWENTY I WILL BE TAKING ANY
PROJECTIONS ON HOW LONG THIS
WILL BE MISTER CHAIR THAT'LL BE
UP TO THE COMMUNITY WE REMAIN
HOPEFUL ABOUT ANDREAS. FIRST HAD
LIED. THE CHAIRMAN IN THE-
COMMITTEE FOR THEIR WORK ON-
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR THE WORK ON.
THIS BILL SB THREE TWENTY EIGHT
ADDRESSES A HOLE IN OUR CURRENT
CAMPAIGN FINANCE SYSTEM THAT
ALLOWS. UNLIMITED DONATIONS FOR
LOCAL OFFICE LIKE SCHOOL BOARDS.
COMMITTEE COLLEGE BOARDS COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION. IT'S SPECIAL
DISTRICTS THIS BIPARTISAN BILL
SETS CONTRIBUTION LIMITS FOR
THOSE LOCAL GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
AT THE SAME LIMIT. AS A
LEGISLATIVE CANDIDATE. SIMPLY
PUT YOU SHOULD NEED MORE MONEY
THAN THE STATE SENATORS RUN FOR
THESE OFFICES. WE'VE ALL SEEN
THESE LOCAL RACES COME OVERLY
POLITICIZED DESPITE BEING
NONPARTISAN OFFICE. THIS BILL
ALSO ALLOWS CONTRIBUTION LIMITS
TO BE MODIFIED BY THE GOVERNING
BOARD. OR BY THE VOTERS
ESTABLISHING THESE LIMITS PUTS
ALL LOCAL ELECTIONS ON AN EVEN
PLAYING FIELD IT WILL HELP
RESTORE PUBLIC TRUST. I'D LIKE
TO INTRODUCE. LAUREL RENDON SKI
. ROB IN SKI SKI ME THE
LEGISLATIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE CAL
COMMON. TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF
THIS BILL. THANK YOU SENATOR
DODD GOOD MORNING WELCOME PLACE
FOR STUDENTS. THANK YOU CHAIR
I'M MORE BRZEZINSKI LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR OF CALIFORNIA COMMON
CAUSE. WE WORK ON BUILDING A
CALIFORNIA DEMOCRACY THAT
INCLUDES EVERYONE INCLUDING ON
MONEY IN POLITICS TO AND
STRUCTURAL INEQUITIES IN OUR
DEMOCRACY. ALLOWING UNLIMITED
CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS HAS A
CORRUPTING INFLUENCE ON LOCAL
DEMOCRACY AND CONTRIBUTES TO
VOTER CYNICISM. ABOUT
GOVERNMENT. WHENEVER CANADA IS
FINANCIALLY DEPENDENT ON JUST A
HANDFUL OF CONTRIBUTIONS THERE
IS A RISK THAT THEY WILL VALUE
THEIR CONTRIBUTORS INTERESTS
ABOVE THOSE OF THE PEOPLE THEY
SERVE. MOREOVER REQUIRING
CANDIDATES TO SEEK SUPPORT IN
SMALLER AMOUNTS FROM A BROADER
NUMBER OF CONTRIBUTORS AS A
DEMOCRATIZING EFFECT AND CAN
HELP THE COMPETITIVENESS. OF
COMMUNITY SUPPORTED CANDIDATES
WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO
WEALTHY PATRONS. FOR THESE
REASONS CALIFORNIA COMMON CAUSE
SPONSOR PRIOR LEGISLATION. THAT
ESTABLISHED THE DEFAULT CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION LIMITS FOR CITY AND
COUNTY RACES. AFTER FINDING
NUMEROUS EGREGIOUS EXAMPLES OF
MASSIVE SPECIAL INTEREST
CONTRIBUTIONS. OUR DATA SHOWS
NOW THAT. ABOUT 98% OF
CALIFORNIA CITIES UNDER THAT
BILL NOW HAVE CAMPAIGN
CONTRIBUTION LIMITS WITH ONLY A
FEW HAVING CHOSEN TO PASS LOCAL
ORDINANCES INSTITUTING NO LIMIT.
SB THREE TWENTY EIGHT CLOSES THE
GLARING LOOPHOLE EXTENDING THAT
APPROACH TO LOCAL JURISDICTIONS
CURRENTLY WITHOUT LIMITS SCHOOL
DISTRICTS COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICTS AND OTHER SPECIAL
DISTRICT ELECTIONS. THAT'S
PUTTING REASONABLE ANTI
CORRUPTION LIMITATIONS IN PLACE
WHILE RESPECTING LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS AUTHORITY TO SET
CONTRIBUTION LIMITS MORE
PRECISELY TAILORED TO THE NEEDS
OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY. WHAT ARE
LOWER OR HIGHER THAN THE DEFAULT
KATH. I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
EITHER. WITH YOU VERY MUCH.
THERE IS ANYBODY ELSE THE
COMMUTER LEGISLATOR IN SUPPORT.
OF THE MEASURE SHE NOT IS
ANYBODY HERE LIKE TO DESPITE
OPPOSITION SB THREE TWENTY
EIGHT. ALSO SEE NONE MISTER
MODERATORS TO COULD Q. THE
PETITION SO TELECOMS LINE FOR
SUPPORT OVER A OPPOSITION TO SB
THREE TWENTY. AND IF YOUR-
PROVIDER THAT COMMONSENSE PLEASE
STATE YOUR NAME YOUR
ORGANIZATION POSITION. SO WE'RE
LOOKING FOR. AND TO PROVIDE
COMMENTS IN SUPPORT OR
OPPOSITION PLEASE PRESS ONE THEN
ZERO SB. THREE TWENTY EIGHT.
GREEN LINE TWENTY THREE. HI I'M
IN FAVOR SB THREE TWENTY EIGHT.
THANK YOU YOUR NAME. OKAY ALL
RIGHT NEXT WHICH- NO FOR THE
COMMENTS THANK YOU AT THE START.
THANK YOU- BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
. HELLO WORLD PLEASE THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIR I HAVE GREAT
RESPECT FOR THE FOR THE AUTHOR
IN A- I KNOW YOU'RE TRYING TO
ACHIEVE- I PERSONALLY THINK WE
NEED TO GO WE NEED TO GO IN IN
THE OTHER DIRECTION ONE OF MY
BIGGEST FRUSTRATIONS WITH
POLITICAL CAMPAIGNS IS
INDEPENDENT EXPENDITURES. AND
WHAT I THINK IT'S GOOD
UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF
LIMITING IT TO FIFTY FIVE
HUNDRED IS GOING TO IN POWER-
THE SPECIAL INTERESTS EVEN MORE
SO AS A KID IF I TAKE MONEY
THAT'S PUBLIC RECORD EVERYBODY
KNOWS IT AND THEN THEN I THEN I
HAVE TO OWN IT- SO I'M NOT GONNA
VOTE FOR THE BILL THEY I WANT
EXPLAINED WHY I UNDERSTAND WHY
YOU'RE DOING IT I JUST. THINK
GOING IN THE EXACT OPPOSITE
DIRECTION WOULD ACTUALLY PROVIDE
GREATER TRANSPARENCY BUT IT'S
JUST A DIFFERENCE OF OPINION AND
YOU KNOW IT IS WHAT IT IS. BUT
YOU KNOW AGAIN. I APPRECIATE YOU
AND IN ALL YOU DO I JUST I JUST
THINK. OTHER FORMS OR WOULD BE
BETTER PACKED. ALL RIGHT SO I
DON'T I'LL I'LL AGREE WITH
GENERAL GENERAL CONCERN ABOUT
THE IMPENDING CHANGES BUT I DO
THINK THIS IS A GOOD AND
REGIONAL MEASURE- TO YOUR POINT
IT IS NOT ABOUT A BOARD OF
EDUCATION MAKES A DIFFERENCE
THAT AND- WE'VE SEEN TOO MUCH-
BY WAY OF SPENDING ON THESE
RACES- AND IT HAS A CORROSIVE
EFFECT SO. I'LL HAPPILY SUPPORT
THE BILL TODAY WOULD YOU LIKE TO
CLOSER DON'T DISRESPECT LAST
YEAR BY BY VOTERS I ACTUALLY
AGREE WITH BOTH THE BUT THAT.
THE SHIP HAS ALREADY SAILED ON
THIS POLICY FOR LOCAL CITY
COUNCILS AND BOARDS OF
SUPERVISORS AND WE SHOULD JUST
HAVE A STREAMLINED ACROSS BUT-
MUCH WORK NEEDS TO BE DONE IN
THIS AREA I WOULD AGREE WITH
THAT. RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR
ABOUT. ADD YOU FOR. WE DO NOT
YET A QUORUM THANK YOU SO DOT-
WILL TO UP THE- INTO THE VOTE.
AT THE TIME AS WE DO- SURE WELL
YOUR LUCK- YOU ARE NEXT UP. WITH
A SIX FORTY. OF ON SCHOOL SAFETY
. YOU MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBER
WHICH I GUESS IS ME. THIS SHOULD
BE HIGHER THIS IS TRUE LOW-
ANOTHER GUY I'M I GUESS I'M
GOING TO THE PRESENTATION SINCE
WE DON'T. HAVE ANOTHER AUTHORED
AT 2% BUT THIS WAS ACTUALLY
SPOKE AB RECALL SUPPOSED TO COME
UP LAST WEEK- WE RAN IT WE RAN
OUT OF TIME. IN THIS IS ONE OF
MY TWO BILLS HAVING TO DO. TO
ADDRESS SOME OF THE ISSUES THAT
CAME IN THE AFTERMATH OF THE
SCHOOL SHOOTING THAT HAPPENED IN
MY DISTRICT ON NOVEMBER
FOURTEENTH. OF 202-019-2019 AND
AFTER THAT AFTER THAT EVENT
OCCURRED AND IT WAS A KID WHO
WENT ON THE INTERNET BOT PARTS
GO TO GHOST GUN. AND THEN WENT
TO. TRY TO MURDER- GIRL THAT YOU
KNOW SAID YOU SAID NOTE SAID NO
TO HIM WE HAD ONE CHILD. THAT
WAS ACTUALLY SAFE BECAUSE THERE
WAS A TRAUMA KIT IN IN THE IN
THE IN THE CHOIR ROOM AND THAT'S
MADE BILL I DID EARLIER. BUT
AFTER FOLLOWING THAT EVENT. I
GOT INVITED TO GO TO ONE OF THE
JUNIOR HIGH SETS A FEEDER
SCHOOL. FEEDER SCHOOL INTO THAT
HIGH SCHOOL BECAUSE THE STUDENTS
HAD CONCERNS IN THE TEACHER
COMING HEY WE ARE COME SPEAK TO
MY STUDENTS GO NORMAL COME TO
SPEAK. TO THEM BUT I'LL COME AND
LISTEN. AND IT REALLY OPENED MY
EYES TO EVERYTHING THAT THESE
KIDS GO THROUGH TODAY IT'S WAY
WORSE THAN ANYTHING I EVER WENT
THROUGH WITH WITH SOCIAL MEDIA.
IN AND ALL THAT SO WHAT THIS
BILL WOULD DO AND BY THE WAY I
AM ACCEPTING THE COMMAND- THE
AMENDMENTS AT THE COMMITTEE
STAFFING YOU BOUT PROPOSED. A
UNIQUE YOU FOR ALL YOUR WORK ON
THAT. SO ALL THIS WOULD DO WOULD
IMPROVE STUDENT SAFETY BY
REQUIRING ANONYMOUS REPORTING
SYSTEMS TO BE AVAILABLE FOR
STUDENTS PARENTS OR CONCERNED
COMMUNITY MEMBERS. TO REPORT
DANGEROUS FAMILY- UNLAWFUL
ACTIVITY ON CAMPUS. CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS ARE EXPERIENCING
INCREASING RATES OF MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES HIGHER RATES OF
SUICIDE INCREASED INSTANCES OF.
CAMPUS VIOLENCE AND BULLYING.
AND THE AND THE IMPACT OF THE
PANDEMIC RELATED SHUTDOWNS
DISTANCE LEARNING IS SOCIAL
ISOLATION AND EXASPERATED THESE
TRANS IS TAKING A TOLL ON
STUDENTS MENTAL HEALTH.
TYPICALLY INDIVIDUALS ENGAGE IN
BULLYING ATTEMPT SUICIDE OR
COMMIT ACTS OF VIOLENCE EXHIBIT
KNOWN INDICATORS A REPORT BY THE
FBI. CONFIRMS IT 80% OF
POTENTIAL SCHOOL SHOOTERS EITHER
DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY TELL
SOMEONE ELSE BEFOREHAND. BY
PROVIDING AN OPTION FOR
ANONYMOUS REPORTING WE ARE
EMPOWERING STUDENTS TO BROKE
BREAK THE CODE OF SILENCE IN
MAKE OUR SCHOOLS SAFER. TWENTY
SEVEN OTHER STATES HAVE
STATEWIDE REPORTING PROGRAMS
THAT REGULARLY RECEIVE AN
INTERVENING THOUSANDS. OF
REPORTED NOTICES INVOLVING
SUICIDE BOMBING THREATS OF SELF
HARM PLANNED ATTACKS TO SCHOOLS
AND OTHER CONCERNING BEHAVIOR.
ONLY ONE OUT OF THREE IN ONLY
ONE OUT THREE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE CURRENTLY
PROVIDING AN HONEST REPORTING
PROGRAMS. AND I'M CALLING THIS
ASIDE A STRONG ACTOR AFTER
CYPRUS I WILL KEEP STUDENTS
TEACHERS AND COMMUNITY SAFER.
THIS IS GOING TO BE. I IS GOING
TO BE THEIR SPOTS ABILITY OF THE
L. E. A. TO COME UP WITH
WHATEVER SYSTEM WORKS BEST FOR
THEM THIS IS NOT IT IS NOT A
STATE STATEWIDE SYSTEM I DIDN'T
WANT A ONE SIZE FITS ALL. BUT I
WANT TO BE TAILORED TO THE
COMMUNITY NEEDS. WITH THAT. YES
YOU DO NOT TO MY KNOWLEDGE OF
LEAD WITNESS I DID LAST WEEK
WHEN. THEY DID A WONDERFUL JOB
LAST WEEK BY THE WAY- SEARCHING
PEOPLE. YES OKAY. AND SO LET'S
GO TO THE COMMITTEE HEARING ANY

LET HIM GO AHEAD OF ME SO I.
ALWAYS A COMMON I'M SURE SHE AND
HE ARE VERY GRATEFUL ALWAYS- I'M
A CONVERSATION OFTEN. MURATSUCHI
SO SB FIVE FIVE NINE SIX FROM
TODAY I'M PRESENTING SP FIVE
NINE SIX WHICH WOULD MAKE IT A
CRIME TO THREATEN HARASS. A
SCHOOL EMPLOYEE FOR REASONS
RELATED TO THE COURSE. OF THEIR
DUTIES WHILE THEY ARE AWAY FROM
SCHOOL SITE OR AFTER SCHOOL
HOURS. IN THE LAST SEVERAL YEARS
WE'VE SEEN A GROWING
MISINFORMATION ABOUT SCHOOL
CURRICULUM ACCORDING TO A RECENT
STUDY FROM THE UCLA INSTITUTE
FOR DEMOCRACY EDUCATION ACCESS
IN THE UC RIVERSIDE CIVIC
ENGAGEMENT RESEARCH GROUP. 65% A
CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL PRINCIPAL
SURVEYED REPORTED SUBSTANTIAL
CONFLICT OVER EDUCATION ISSUES.
TOPICS AT THE CENTER OF THE
CONFLICT INCLUDE INSTRUCTION
ABOUT RACE AND RACISM LGBT. Q.
STUDENT WRITES BOOKS IN
LIBRARIES AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL
LEARNING. PRINCIPLES
PARTICIPATING IN THE STUDY ALSO
REPORTED. THAT INDIVIDUALS
CONNECTED TO OUTSIDE
ORGANIZATIONS HAVE RESORTED TO
THREATENING SCHOOL EMPLOYEES.
FOR EXAMPLE LAST YEAR AN
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEACHER IN MY
DISTRICT RECEIVED THREATS OF
VIOLENCE AFTER TEACHING STUDENTS
ABOUT LGBTQ PRIDE MONTH. THIS
SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ON OUR CAMPUSES
AND SHOULDN'T HAPPEN OFF CAMPUS
FOR THOSE FOLKS WHO WERE TRYING
TO. HELP AND TEACH OUR KIDS.
EDUCATOR SHOULD NOT BE
THREATENED HARASSED FOR
PROVIDING ACADEMIC INSTRUCTION
THE CHORDS WOULD CALIFORNIA'S
STATE STANDARDS. EXISTING LAW
HAS MEASURES IN PLACE TO HOLD
INDIVIDUALS. THE PROTECTIONS
CURRENTLY IN PLACE DO NOT
CLEARLY APPLY. TO INCIDENTS THAT
OCCUR OFF CAMPUS. THIS BILL
SEEKS TO EXPAND CURRENT LAW IN
AN EFFORT TO PROTECT SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES. AND IN DOING SO THE
BILL WOULD ENSURE THAT OUR
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES CAN CONTINUE
FOSTERING SUPPORT OF AN
INCLUSIVE LEARNING ENVIRONMENTS.
SB FIVE NINE SIX IS SUPPORTED BY

ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS AND
ALSO LIKE TO THANK THE COMMITTEE
STAFF AND MY STAFF FOR WORKING.
WITH THE SPONSOR OF THIS BILL TO
GET IT IN THE SHAPE IT'S IN AND
APPRECIATE ALL THAT HARD WORK SB
SIX SEVEN ONE WOULD REQUIRE THAT
A COMPREHENSIVE SCHOOL SAFETY
PLAN INCLUDE PROCEDURES TO
ASSESS AND RESPOND TO REPORTS
WERE THREATS OF DANGEROUS
VIOLENT OR UNLAWFUL ACTIVITY
OCCURRING ON CAMPUSES. WE'VE
SEEN. FAR TOO MANY. TRAGIC
VIOLENT ACTIONS ON OUR SCHOOL
SITES AND UNDER. EXISTING LAW
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COUNTY
OFFICE OF EDUCATION REQUIRED TO
DEVELOP A PLAN. FOR THEIR CASE
SCHOOLS. IN THEIR JURISDICTIONS
A TRANSPARENT PROCESS. AND
COLLABORATION WITH LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS
AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS.
WHILE THE SCHOOL SAFETY PLANS
ABLE TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE
AT SCHOOL. TRACTICA ACTS OF
VIOLENCE REMAIN ALL TOO COMMON.
IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE. THEY WERE
NINETY THREE SCHOOL SHOOTINGS
WITH CASUALTIES HAD A PUBLIC
PRIVATE ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY
SCHOOLS NATIONWIDE. THE
STATISTIC IS HIGHEST SINCE TWO
THOUSAND TWO THOUSAND ONE SO
WE'RE SEEING A RISE. ANY MORE
CAUSE FOR CONCERN DATA FROM THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION INDICATES THAT THEY
WERE NEARLY FORTY SEVEN
THOUSAND. SUSPENSIONS AND
EXPULSIONS STATEWIDE DURING
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO SCHOOL
YEAR STEMMING FROM VIOLENT
INCIDENTS THAT RESULTED IN AN
INJURY. THIS INCREASE IN
VIOLENCE IN OUR SCHOOLS CANNOT
BE IGNORED AND FRANKLY. WE
SHOULD HAVE MORE COOPERATION AS
SCHOOLS DRAFT THIS PLAN AND
THAT'S WHAT WE'RE ASKING FOR
JUST FOR PEOPLE. TO COOPERATE
WITH ONE ANOTHER AS THEY MAKE
OUR CAMPUSES SAFER AND WITH ME I
HAVE- LIEUTENANT T. GROUND. TO
BY TAJIK. COPEPODS DICKEY I'M-
I'M SORRY TO GROWN. FROM THE
GLENDALE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
THE MYSTERY OF THIS RIGHT MR
TOBIN SICK YET THEY'LL GO GET IT
AND. I SAID IT. IN ORDER TO.
RECEIVE MORE. HE GRINNED OF
WOULD YOU CAN WITH THE GLENDALE
POLICE TO. NEWMAN AND I. MEMBERS
OF THE- MY NAME IS DIFFERENT
OVER CAN I MEAN. WITH THE GUN
CAL POLICE TO. HAVE BEEN A
PUBLIC. SINCE NINETEEN NINETY
SIX. I'M STANDING HERE. IN FRONT
OF YOU TODAY. IN THIS CAPACITY
BECAUSE MY SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER ENCOURAGED ME TO.
PARTICIPATE IN THE POLICE
EXPLORER PROGRAM WHEN I WAS IN
MIDDLE SCHOOL. I CAN OF THE
NAVAL POSTGRADUATE SCHOOL IN
MONTEREY AND AUTHORED A THESIS.
ON THE TOPIC OF SCHOOL
SHOOTINGS. AND NETWORKING WITH
SCHOOL TO. THE ACADEMIC RESEARCH
BROUGHT. BROUGHT TO THE
FOREFRONT THE FOLLOWING. THE
SAFE SCHOOLS ACT IN TEXAS
REQUIRED LAW ENFORCEMENT. TO
SHARE INFORMATION WITH THE
SUPERINTENDENT RELATED CRIMES
COMMITTED. BY STUDENTS WITHIN
TWENTY FOUR HOURS. CASE STUDIES
OF PREVIOUS SCHOOL SHOOTINGS UP
AND ACTS OF VIOLENCE HAD WARNING
SIGNS PRIOR. MULTI DISCIPLINARY
APPROACH TO ASSESSING MONITORING
AND PREVENTING VIOLENCE IS A
MULTIPLIER BECAUSE MORE THAN ONE
PAIR OF EYES IS LOOKING AT THE
PROBLEM. AND COMMUNICATING AND
COLLABORATING. COULD PREVENT
INCIDENTS IN THE FUTURE. THIS
BILL WOULD ENHANCE THE WORKING
RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE FIRST
RESPONDER COMMUNITY. AND THE K.
THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM. AS IS PROVIDING THE
FRAMEWORK FOR COLLABORATIVE AND
COMMUNITY CENTRIC METHOD. TO
ADDRESS THOSE SITUATIONS WHERE
THE CHILDREN AT SCHOOL MAY FACE
DANGER. I'M ALSO A PARENT OF A
STUDENT CURRENTLY IN
KINDERGARTEN. OUR CHILDREN ARE
IMPRESSIONABLE AND UNABLE TO
PROTECT THEMSELVES AT SCHOOL
TIMES. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY
REPORTS OF RECENT VIOLENT
INCIDENTS ON SCHOOL CAMPUSES
WHERE THE UNTHINKABLE HAS
OCCURRED. THIS BILL REINFORCE
THE COLLABORATION THAT IS NEEDED
BETWEEN SCHOOL DISTRICTS. AND
THE FIRST RESPONDER COMMUNITY TO
DO THE VERY BEST TO PREVENT
VIOLENT INCIDENTS ON SCHOOL
CAMPUSES. THERE HAS BEEN A
PARADIGM SHIFT IN STAFFING
MARLIN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
. THEY HAVE SOCIAL WORKERS AND
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS
EMBEDDED WITHIN THE
ORGANIZATION. THIS ALLOWS FOR
THE PROBLEM TO BE VIEWED THROUGH
MULTIPLE LENSES AND RESOURCES
PROVIDED FROM THOSE- RESEARCH
PROVIDERS. AND GLENDALE WE HAVE
AN EXCELLENT WORKING
RELATIONSHIP WITH THE GLENDALE
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WHERE
THE POLICE DEPARTMENT AND THE
OFFICE OF THE SUPERINTENDENT
COMMUNICATE AND COLLABORATE
ROUTINELY. OUR WORKING
RELATIONSHIP SECTION I CAN CALL
THE SUPERINTENDENT AND EXECUTIVE
MANAGEMENT TEAM. AND IF AT ANY
TIME ON THEIR CELLULAR PHONE. I

STUDENTS LAST YEAR IN IN MY
DISTRICT IN THE PAST ROBLES
SCHOOL DISTRICT. THERE WAS A
RATHER HORRENDOUS INCIDENT I
CAN'T DESCRIBE TO YOU IN PUBLIC
BUT IT WAS A- A MAJOR DEFAMATION
IN A VERY SERIOUS WAY. AND IT
AND IT LED TO AN AMAZING SERIES
OF EVENTS BASICALLY THE SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATION AND SCHOOL BOARD
WASN'T GONNA DO ANYTHING ABOUT.
AND STUDENTS AT THE HIGH SCHOOL
ORGANIZED AND HAD A TOWN HALL
MEETING. WITH THREE HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY FIVE PEOPLE THAT BECAME
A FRONT PAGE STORY SUBJECT OF

TO DO THIS. AND THIS PROPOSAL
CAME FROM STUDENTS THEY WANT Y.
TO BE ABLE TO HAVE OUR
COLLABORATION AMONG THE
DIFFERENT SECTORS IN EDUCATION.
TO HELP PROVIDE- EFFORTS ON
CREATING A SUPPORTIVE
ENVIRONMENT. AND SO. OF THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT ADMINISTRATORS
ALONE CANNOT SOLVE THIS ISSUE
THAT WAS PROVEN IN THAT IN THAT
INCIDENT AND THIS CREATES AN
IMPORTANT OPPORTUNITY TO BRING
STUDENTS TEACHERS AND
ADMINISTRATORS TOGETHER. TO
ENSURE THAT AUTHENTIC VOICES
ADDRESS THIS IN A WAY THAT IT
PROVIDES HELP AND SUPPORT AND
SOME GUIDANCE FOR PEOPLE THAT
ARE STRUGGLING WITH THIS ISSUE
IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS THE
STATE AND OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
HAVE BECOME THE FRONT LINES FOR
A LOT OF DISCUSSIONS ABOUT
SOCIAL ISSUES AND WE NEED TO
TAKE THE INITIATIVE TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE WORK TOGETHER AND WE
PROVIDE GUIDANCE AND LEADERSHIP
AND WE I LEARNED AS A MATTER
YEARS AGO. THAT THERE'S REALLY A
SOCIAL STANDARD AND PEOPLE
DEFAULT SOMETIMES TO SOCIAL
STANDARD THAT ISN'T VERY GOOD
UNLESS THE PEOPLE THAT ARE LEAD-
STANDOFF. AND TALK ABOUT HOW WE
CAN WORK TOGETHER CHAU EXAMPLES

HAS NINE THIS STRONG
NONDISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS.
STUDENTS MUST BE ALLOWED TO.
PARTICIPATE IN ACTIVITIES AND
FACILITIES CONSISTENT WITH THEIR
GENDER IDENTITY AND SCHOOL
MATERIALS MUST BE INCLUSIVE OF
LGBTQ PEOPLE. YES STILL WE KNOW
THAT MANY DISTRICTS LACK
AWARENESS ABOUT EXISTING LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS OR MAY NOT HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO FULLY IMPLEMENT
THEM. AND IN SOME CASES SCHOOL
DISTRICTS FACED A HOSTILE LOCAL
CLIMATE THAT PREVENTS THEM FROM
IMPLEMENTING EXISTING LAWS OR
ATTEMPTS TO SUBVERT THEM
ENTIRELY. WE ARE VERY PLEASED
THAT THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
IS CURRENTLY IN THE PROCESS OF
HIRING A NEW STAFF POSITION THE
WE TASKED SPECIFICALLY WITH
HELPING SCHOOLS TO CREATE A SAFE
AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL CLIMATE
FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS. AND WE
BELIEVE IT IS CRITICAL THAT
LGBTQ STUDENTS AND STAFF BE
ACTIVE PARTNERS IN THESE EFFORTS
AND HELP TO IDENTIFY WAYS IN
WHICH SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN GO
ABOVE AND BEYOND EXISTING LEGAL
REQUIREMENTS. THE CREATION OF AN
LGBTQ ADVISORY TASK FORCE IS A
LOGICAL NEXT STEP TO ENSURE THE

INVALUABLE PERSPECTIVES TO
BETTER SUPPORT LGBTQ STUDENTS.

ADVANCE NO TOLERANCE APPROACH
ARREST MINDEN. HOLD PERPETRATORS
ACCOUNTABLE. ABOUT INTO MANY
CASES OVER THE PAST DECADES ON
CSU CAMPUSES AS WELL AS
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IT'S BEEN THE
EXACT OPPOSITE. A CULTURE OF
LOOK THE OTHER WAY VICTIM
SHAMING IN ATTEMPTING TO COVER
VIOLATIONS THEY'LL BECOME TOO
COMMONPLACE WHICH IS WHY WE'RE
ADVANCING. SB SEVEN NINETY ONE
FOCUSING ON POST SECONDARY
EDUCATION EMPLOYMENT
DISCLOSURES. BETWEEN TWO
THOUSAND SEVENTEEN IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE FIFTY FOUR EMPLOYEES
AT CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
CAMPUSES WERE FOUND TO HAVE
COMMITTED VIOLATIONS OF SEXUAL
MISCONDUCT AND DISCRIMINATION.
AT THE VIOLATIONS INCLUDED
UNWANTED ADVANCES INCLUDING
REQUESTS FOR SEX IN UNWANTED
TOUCHING AN AGGRESSIVE VERBAL
HARASSMENT. AND THE STORIES ARE
PREVALENT JUST BEING CANDID
ABOUT IT NOT EASY TO HEAR ABOUT.
BUT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THEM. AND ESPECIALLY
SINCE THEY ARE SO PRESENT IN THE
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS TASKED WITH
PROTECTING OUR STUDENTS AND
EMPLOYEES FROM THIS TYPE OF
HARM. WHILE TITLE NINE
PROTECTIONS EXIST TO PROTECT OUR
PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS BAD ACTORS
HAVE BEEN ABLE TO ESCAPE THE
CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR ACTIONS BY
MOVING LITERALLY FROM. ONE
CAMPUS TO ANOTHER. EVEN THOUGH
THEY HAVE BEEN FOUND GUILTY OF
THESE ACTIONS ONE NOTABLE
EXAMPLE IT FROM TWO THOUSAND
EIGHTEEN IS A CHICO STATE
PROFESSOR THAT RESIGNED BEFORE
THAT HE COULD BE DISCIPLINED OR
FACING CHARGES OF SEXUAL
HARASSMENT OF A STUDENT. AND
HAVING A PROHIBITED RELATIONSHIP
WITH THE STUDENTS. HE WAS THEN
HIRED TO TEACH. AT CAL STATE
EAST BAY. SB SEVEN NINETY NINE
WOULDN'T THIS. SB SEVEN NINETY
ONE WOULD ENSURE HIRING

KIND OF HISTORY OF A GREGIS
ACTIONS IT IS SHOCKING THAT WE
DON'T ALREADY DO THIS. BY
REQUIRING APPLICANTS FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE OR ACADEMIC
POSITIONS DISCLOSED ANY FINAL
ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL
DECISION DETERMINING THAT THE
APPLICANT COMMITTED SEXUAL
HARASSMENT. THIS COMMONSENSE
APPROACH WILL BE FOCUS WITH
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
AND CEASE USE. AN ONLINE SURE
THAT THESE HIRING COMMITTEES ARE
FULLY INFORMED WHEN MAKING
HIRING DECISIONS AND HELP
PREVENT BAD ACTORS FROM ESCAPING
THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR
EGREGIOUS ACTIONS. TO FOSTER A

ONE REQUIRES APPLICANTS FOR
ADMINISTRATIVE OR ACADEMIC
POSITIONS ARE PUBLIC POST
SECONDARY INSTITUTIONS TO
DISCLOSE ANY FINAL
ADMINISTRATIVE OR JUDICIAL
FINDING DETERMINING THE
APPLICANT COMMITTED SEXUAL
HARASSMENT. ORIGINALLY SEXUAL
HARASSMENT HAS BECOME A SYSTEMIC
ISSUE ACROSS OUR COLLEGE
CAMPUSES AND STUDENTS ARE OFTEN
THE SUBJECT OF SAID MISCONDUCT.
PUBLIC COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES
ARE SUPPOSED TO BE A SAFE
LEARNING ENVIRONMENT. BUT IS THE
VINCE BY REPORTS AND AUDITS THIS
HAS NOT BEEN THE CASE ESPECIALLY
WHEN BAD ACTORS ARE ABLE TO
ESCAPE THE CONSEQUENCES OF THEIR
EGREGIOUS ACTIONS BY MOVING FROM
ONE CAMPUS TO ANOTHER. THIS BILL
WILL HELP PREVENT THAT FROM
HAPPENING BY ENSURING HIRING

STORIES ABOUT RAMPANT SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AT A PUBLIC

SERIOUS PROBLEM ON THE CAMPUSES.
WE ARE GRATEFUL TO THIS
LEGISLATURE FOR NOT PASSIVELY
STANDING BY WE HEAR CONSTANT
STORIES FROM OUR MEMBERS AND
STUDENTS THAT HAVE IN STOCK IN A
SYSTEM WITHOUT ACCOUNTABILITY-
THIS IS AN IMPORTANT STEP. THAT
CENTERS OUR STUDENTS AND OUR
FACULTY THAT GO BACK INTO THE

HARASSMENT DETERMINATIONS IT

CONDUCT AND ON OUR COLLEGE
CAMPUSES. SB SEVEN NINE ONE SURE

PROPS WITH THAT MISTER CHAIR THE
FLOOR IS YOURS AND THANK YOU MR
THANK YOU REFER YOUR PATIENTS
TODAY. ALL RIGHT SO- GOOD
MORNING COMMITTEE MEMBERS I AM
PLEASED TO RESENT S. B. TWO
NINETY ONE WHICH IS A MEASURE
WHICH IS CRAFTED SURE THAT K.
THROUGH EIGHT STUDENTS ALL HAVE
A RIGHT TO A JURY RECESSES
BECAUSE SPENDING UNSTRUCTURED
ACTIVITIES WITH OTHER STUDENTS
DURING THE SCHOOL DAY. EDUCATORS
AND CHILD PSYCHOLOGISTS HAVE
LONG AGREED THAT PLAY REPRESENTS
A CRITICAL INPUT FOR POSSIBLE
CHILD AND YOUTH DEVELOPMENT.
YEAH AND THE ONLY TIME THE
SCHOOL THEY WERE STUDENTS CAN
LEARN TO PRACTICE SOCIAL AND
EMOTIONAL SKILLS AS WELL AS BE
PHYSICALLY ACTIVE CONNECT WITH
FRIENDS AND TAKE A BREAK. FROM
THE STRUCTURE THE CLASSROOM AND
THAT'S RECESSED BUT THE
COMBINATION OF THE EVENTS OF THE
PAST THREE YEARS THE PANDEMIC
WILDFIRES FLOODS- AND ONGOING
CALLS FOR RACIAL EQUITY- AND THE
ALARMING TREND TOWARD POLITICAL
POLARIZATION HAVE. HAD
DEVASTATING EFFECTS ON CHILDREN
AND YOUTH IN THE FORM OF
ISOLATION STRESS. AND BETRAYAL
HARDSHIPS WHICH RESULTED IN ON
PRESENT LEVELS OF MENTAL HEALTH
CHALLENGES BOTH IN OUR SCHOOLS
AND IN OUR HOMES. A JANUARY
TWENTY TWENTY TWO CHILDREN OUT-
CHILDREN NOW IS TWENTY TWENTY
TWO CHILDREN. CHILDREN SUPPORTER
GAVE CALIFORNIA A GRADE OF D.
PLUS HONOR SUCCESS REDRESSING
THE DRAMATIC UPTICK IN YOUNG.
PEOPLE'S MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS-
ARE IN MANY WAY NOT A QUICK TO
HANDLE IMMERSION NEED SO THROUGH
INTO INTER. LIKE AND WAY THEY
CAN PURSUE HEALING GENERAL WHOLE
SCHOOL IS THIS THROUGH INCREASED
ACCESS. TO PLAY EVEN PRIOR TO
THE EVENTS OF THE LAST THREE
YEARS AN EMPHASIS ON RECESS TO
GAIN TRACTION AMONG EXPERTS AS A
CRUCIAL TIME IN THE SCHOOL DAY
AND WE'RE HERE FOR FROM TO THEM
TODAY. IN TWENTY THIRTEEN THE
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
TO CLEAR THAT RECESS IS A
NECESSARY BREAK IN THE DAY FOR
OPTIMIZING YOUR CHILD'S SOCIAL.
EMOTIONAL PHYSICAL AND COGNITIVE
DEVELOPMENT. IN ESSENCE RESEARCH
RESEARCH SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A
CHILD'S PERSONAL TIME. IT SHOULD
NOT BE WITHHELD FOR ACADEMIC OR
PUNITIVE REASONS FURTHER. THE
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL
PROFESSIONAL LONG WITH THE SIDE
OF HEALTH AND PHYSICAL
EDUCATORS. NOTED IN A TWENTY
SEVENTEEN REPORTS THAT RECESS
ALSO IS AN ESSENTIAL PART OF
STUDENTS WHO EXPERIENCE THAT
CONTRIBUTES TO THEIR NORMAL
GROWTH. AND DEVELOPMENT TO HELP
STUDENTS PRACTICE SOCIAL SKILLS
POSITIVE ENGAGING CLASSROOM
ACTIVITIES ENHANCES COGNITIVE
PERFORMANCE. AS CALIFORNIA
CONTINUES TO EMERGE FROM THE
DARK DAYS THE PANDEMIC AND ITS
IMPACTS. WE CONTINUE TO SEE
SIMPLY REFLECTS ON CHILDREN'S
SOCIAL EMOTIONAL DEVELOPMENT
PLAY OUT IN THE FORM OF THE
KINDS OF BEHAVIORAL DISRUPTIONS.
WHICH HAVE BECOME INCREASINGLY
PREVALENT IN CLASSROOMS ACROSS
THE STATE. SB TWO NIGHT ONE WILL
ENSURE THAT ALL CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS IN GRADES ONE THROUGH
EIGHT. ARE PROVIDED AT LEAST
THIRTY MINUTES OF RECESS DURING
EACH SCHOOL DAY WHILE
PROHIBITING THE DENIAL OF
RECESS. UNLESS ITS STUDENTS
PARTICIPATING IN RECESS WOULD
POSE AN IMMEDIATE THREAT TO
THEIR OWN PHYSICAL SAFETY OR THE
SAFETY OF OTHERS. UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL IN THE
EVENT THAT A SCHOOL'S OUTDOOR
SPACE IS SUFFICIENT. FOR THE
CASE OF INCLEMENT WEATHER DAILY
RECESS MAY BE HELD INDOORS. IF
THE SPACE PROVIDED BY SCHOOL
SUFFICIENT TO FACILITATE
PHYSICAL ACTIVITY AND PLAY. IN
THE CASE OF STUDENTS WITH
INDIVIDUAL EDUCATION PLANS OR
IEPS OR FIVE OH FOUR IS. THE
BILL WOULD ENSURE THAT
PARTICIPATION RECESSED WOULD
COMPLY WITH THAT I. E. P. AS
SCHOOLS OF STUDENTS SEEK TO
RECOVER FROM COVERT RELATED
EDUCATION DISRUPTIONS. THE
BENEFITS OF UNSTRUCTURED PLAY
AND- SOCIAL INTERACTIONS THAT
ARE OFFERED BY RESISTOR MORE
IMPORTANT NOW THAN EVER. I AM

BOOK- IN TWENTY NINETEEN. SENATE
BILL TWO NINETY ONE SUPPORT TO
PROJECTS ACCESS TO DAILY RECESS
FOR STUDENTS UP TO GRADE EIGHT.
BOTH THE AMERICAN ACADEMY OF
PEDIATRICS AND THE CENTERS FOR
DISEASE CONTROL AND PREVENTION
RECOMMEND THAT ALL CHILDREN HAVE
ACCESS TO DAILY RECESS. AND
UNDERLYING THESE REACHED THESE
RECOMMENDATIONS AS A VERY DEEP
RESEARCH BASE. THAT DOCUMENTS
THE MANY BENEFITS OF RECESSED
FOR CHILDREN- ESPECIALLY
UNSTRUCTURED PLAYTIME SO IT
HELPS CHILDREN TO CONCENTRATE IN
THE CLASSROOM IT SUPPORTS THEIR
EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONING. ALLOWING
THEM TO MAKE GOOD DECISIONS
IMPROVE THEIR CLASSROOM BEHAVIOR
AND TOGETHER ALL OF THAT HELPS
TO IMPROVE ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE
. IT'S ALSO A PLACE WHERE
CHILDREN HAVE TIME TO PRACTICE
THEIR SOCIAL AND EMOTIONAL
SKILLS THAT THEY MIGHT BE
LEARNING IN THE CLASSROOM. AND
THESE ARE THINGS LIKE CONFLICT
RESOLUTION TEAMWORK EMPATHY AND
SELF REGULATION. OUR HIGH
QUALITY RESOURCE AND BERMAN
LEADS TO IMPROVEMENTS IN STUDENT
SCHOOL ATTENDANCE AND ALSO THE
OVERALL SCHOOL CLIMATE. AND
CONNECTING WITH PEERS AND ADULTS
DURING THIS UNSTRUCTURED TIME.
CAN PROVIDE A BUFFERING EFFECT
FOR STUDENTS WHO HAD ADVERSE
CHILDHOOD EXPERIENCES. HOW MUCH
RECESSED SHOULD STUDENTS HAVE
ONE COUNTRIES LIKE FINLAND AND
JAPAN STUDENTS HAVE TEN TO
FIFTEEN MINUTES OF RECESS FOR
EVERY HOUR OF INSTRUCTION. THE
CDC RECOMMENDS PROVIDING AT
LEAST TWENTY MINUTES OF RECESS
PER DAY FOSTER GATE CURATES
CATER TWELVE AND THE AMERICAN
ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS SAYS THAT
CHILDREN NEED MULTIPLE BREAKS
THROUGHOUT THE SCHOOL DAY.
BECAUSE THEIR ATTENTION STARTS
TO WANE AFTER FIFTY MINUTES SO
THE THIRTY MINUTES HAS PUT FORTH
IN SB TWO NINETY ONE. ALLOWS FOR
TWO BREAKS IN THE SCHOOL DAY I'M
IN IT CAN EFFECTIVELY COMBINE
THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THESE TWO
PROFESSIONAL ORGANIZATIONS. SB
TWO NINETY ONE ALSO STATES THAT
RECESSION NOT BE WITHHELD FROM
STUDENTS FOR PUNISHMENT MY
RESEARCH INDICATES THAT THIS IS
A REALLY COMMON PRACTICE
PARTICULARLY IN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOLS. BUT IT'S NOT AN
EVIDENCE BASED PRACTICE THERE'S
NO RESEARCH SHOWING THAT
WITHHOLDING RECESS IMPROVE
STUDENT BEHAVIOR. IN FACT BOTH
THE CDC AND THE AMERICAN ACADEMY
OF PEDIATRICS ENDORSE THE DOORS
BANNING THE PRACTICE OF
WITHHOLDING RECESS. BECAUSE IT'S
NOT ALIGNED WITH THE GOALS OF
POSITIVE CHILD AND YOUTH
DEVELOPMENT. IN SHORT SB TWO
NINETY ONE EMBODIES THE BEST OF
WHAT WE KNOW FROM THE RESEARCH
LITERATURE ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE
OF RECESSED FOR CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS. AND I FULLY ENDORSE IT
THANK YOU VERY MUCH. GOOD
MORNING MY NAME'S HANNAH
THOMPSON- I'M A FORMER
CALIFORNIA PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHER
AND NOW AN ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
AT UC BERKELEY. I'VE DONE
RESEARCH AND HUNDREDS OF SCHOOLS
AND DISTRICTS IN CALIFORNIA AND
BEYOND RELATED TO POLICIES TO
INCREASE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY FOR
KIDS. I'M ALSO THE MOTHER OF TWO
PUBLIC SCHOOL ELEMENTARY
STUDENTS. SB TWO NINETY ONE IS
AN EVIDENCE BACKED APPROACH TO
INCREASE PHYSICAL ACTIVITY IN
PLAY FOR CALIFORNIA STUDENTS.
THESE LAWS MATTER WHICH IS I'M
SURE WHY YOU ARE SITTING HERE
TODAY YOU HAVE THE POWER TO
IMPROVE THE LIVES OF MILLIONS OF
CHILDREN. SIMPLY PUT STATES THAT
HAVE STRONG RECESSED LAWS ARE
MORE LIKELY TO PROVIDE RECESS TO
THE BENEFIT OF STUDENTS. YOU
JUST HEARD FROM DR LINDEN ABOUT
THE IMPORTANCE OF RECESSED IT'S
ALSO NECESSARY TO REITERATE THAT
THESE BENEFITS DO NOT COME AT
THE EXPENSE OF ACADEMIC
LEARNING. SUBSTANTIAL RESEARCH
NOW SHOWS THAT THE TIME STUDENTS
SPEND OUTSIDE ON THE PLAY YARD
IS AN IMPORTANT AND NECESSARY
COMPLEMENT TO THE LEARNING
THAT'S DONE IN THE CLASSROOM.
HOWEVER IN CALIFORNIA NOT ALL
STUDENTS HAVE EQUAL ACCESS TO
RECESS AND THIS IS VERY LIKELY
WORSENING EXISTING HEALTH AND
ECONOMIC DISPARITIES FOR OUR
STUDENTS. USING DATA FROM OVER A
HUNDRED FIFTY ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS
ACROSS THE STATE LAST SCHOOL
YEAR WE SAW THE ONLY A LITTLE
MORE THAN HALF PROVIDED MORE
THAN TWENTY MINUTES OF RECESS
TODAY. FURTHER SCHOOLS WITH MORE
LOW INCOME STUDENTS SCHOOLS WITH
HIGHER HISPANIC ENROLLMENT
SCHOOLS WITH HIGHER OVERALL
ENROLLMENT AND SCHOOLS IN THE
INLAND EMPIRE LOS ANGELES COUNTY
ORANGE COUNTY AND SOUTHERN SAN
JOAQUIN VALLEY WERE LEAST LIKELY
TO PROVIDE MORE THAN TWENTY
MINUTES OF RECESS TODAY. THESE
DATA CLEARLY DEMONSTRATE
DISPARITIES THAT NEED TO BE
ADDRESSED. PASSING THIS
LEGISLATION WOULD HELP ENSURE
STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR
BACKGROUND OR WHERE THEY LIVE IN
THE STATE HAVE OPPORTUNITIES TO
BENEFIT. IN SOME SB TWO NINETY
ONE HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ADDRESS
DISPARITIES AND ACADEMIC
PERFORMANCE AND LOW PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY LEVELS THAT HAVE BEEN
PARTICULARLY APPARENT SINCE
WE'VE RETURNED TO IN PERSON
LEARNING. POST CODE. AND AS A
SCHOOL HEALTH RESEARCHER BUT
ALSO ON BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA
PARENTS AND TEACHERS OF KIDS WHO
CANNOT HAPPILY SIT IN THE
CLASSROOM ALL DAY WITHOUT
DRIVING ABSOLUTELY EVERYBODY
CRAZY. I URGE YOU TO PASS THIS
LEGISLATION THANK YOU. WATERSHIP
. THE INSIDE JOKE CENTER GUY HAS
A LOT OF ENERGY- I FORGOT I'M
SHARING YOU'RE A GREAT SHOT WHAT
I TOLD YOU I HAVE NO REGRETS I

WITNESSES IN THE ROOM IN
OPPOSITION THING THEN YOU NEED

WHERE HERE SMALLWOOD CLEVERNESS.
WILK PRESENT WILL CARE. OKAY
WITH THAT WILL PULL WILL PULL
BACK TO COMMITTEE FOR ANY
QUESTIONS COMMENTS CONCERNS. THE
CENTER ACCIONES BOKE. HELLO AT
SEVERITY MENU HELLO HELLO HELLO
- THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BRINGING
THIS I'M YOU KNOW I WAS READING
SOME OF THE QUESTIONS AND
CONCERNS. AND YOU KNOW I TAUGHT
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THREE OF MY
KIDS I HAVE A TWENTY THREE
TWENTY ONE AND A SEVENTEEN YEAR
OLD AB AND I KNOW AB. SEVERAL OF
MY KIDS ARE VERY VERY ACTIVE
THEY NEED THAT SIR AB PHYSICAL
ACTIVITY SPORTS IS THEIR OUTLET
FOR THEIR ANXIETY FOR YOU KNOW
JUST CLEARING THE MIND AND
STRESS- NO THAT IS THEIR THEIR
OUTLET. I'M I'M KIND OF CURIOUS
WHAT PROMPTED YOU TO BRING THIS
- THIS BILL FORWARD AND DO WE
HAVE ANY DATA HAS THERE BEEN A
STUDY THAT SHOWS THAT WE'RE NOT
MEETING THEIR RECESS-
REQUIREMENTS IN IN IN THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA SO. IT KIND OF
INTERESTING CALIFORNIA'S ONE OF
A RELATIVELY SMALL NUMBER OF
STATES THAT DOESN'T HAVE A
STANDARD FOR RECESS ACROSS THE
STATE SCHOOLS A IN YOU MIGHT
HAVE COME IN. AFTER THE
WITNESSES AND NOT SURE IF YOU
DID OR DIDN'T KNOW AYE MISS AYE
I'M SORRY YOUR OTHERS I HAVE TWO
VERY ACCOMPLISHED. RESEARCHERS
WHO TESTIFIED- IT DID DO THAT WE
DO HAVE DATA THERE'S A THERE'S A
SUBSTANTIAL BODY DATE SHOWS THAT
UNSTRUCTURED PLAY- THE IN THE
FORMER RECESS IS. A VERY
POSITIVE ELEMENT OF THE SCHOOL
DAY THAT ENCOURAGES LEARNING-
THE YOU KNOW THE DISSIPATION OF
ENERGY THAT ALLOWS FOR FOCUS-
AND SO THERE'S A FAIRLY CLEAR
CUT CASE. OF FOR ENSURING
RESEARCH I AM GLAD TO HAVE
EITHER REBEKAH HIM TO COME UP
AGAIN- IT AND I'M NOT I'M NOT
DEBATE OKAY THAT THAT POINT AT
ALL I MEAN I UNDERSTOOD IN THE
DATA AND I THINK THE TECHNIQUE
IS. LIKELY MUCH LIKE HOW TO DO
MORE WITH THE WHETHER OR NOT- I
DON'T KNOW OF ANY SCHOOL THAT
DOESN'T. AT PROVIDE AN
OPPORTUNE- THERE ARE THERE ARE
MANY SCHOOLS THAT DON'T ACROSS
THE STATE AND THEY THEY'RE ALSO
MANY SCHOOLS THAT DENY STUDENTS.
ACCESS TO RECESS FOR
DISCIPLINARY REASONS THAT
ACTUALLY WORKS COUNTER TO IT I
THINK THE INTENT GET BUT GO
AHEAD YES WE COLLECTED DATA DATA
FROM A HUNDRED AND FIFTY SCHOOLS
LAST SCHOOL YEAR AND JUST OVER
HALF ONLY PROVIDED. MORE THAN
TWENTY MINUTES A DAY OF RECESS
AND THERE. ARE SIGNIFICANT
DISPARITIES BY SCHOOL TYPE THE
LOW INCOME RELY LIKELY TO ME.
SCHOOLS WITH A HIGHER HIS AND IN
SCHOOLS AND SO. ON OF LARGER
ROLE MODEL. AND THEN SCHOOLS IN
CERTAIN. OF THIS WHERE SICKENING
LESS. TO BE. ADEQUATE RECESS
WERE THESE STANDARD- PUBLIC
SCHOOLS WERE YOU REFERRING TO
ALSO CHARTER SCHOOLS WERE ALL
ELEMENTARY SCHOOLS AND THIS WAS
ACTUALLY A SAMPLE OF LOW INCOME
ALLEN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SO THESE
ARE ALSO NOT BAD ELIGIBLE
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL SO. PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. IN THE ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL THEY WERE NOT PROVIDING
RESEARCH REALLY CORRECT.
INTERESTING OKAY WAS NOT AWARE
THAT. OKAY NOT FORGET DID J.
INDEED NOR ARE MANY PEOPLE IN
AND I THINK WE ALL AS PARENTS.
IT SEEMS SELF EVIDENT THAT THAT
RECESSES YOU KNOW GOODNESS
EVERYTHING- IT IS SOMETIMES
SURPRISED TO FIND OUT THAT IT'S
NOT. A PROVIDED- AND THE IMPACTS
OR REAL- AND THAT'S THAT'S THE
GENESIS OF THIS BILL. AND SO MY
FOLLOW UP QUESTION WOULD BE
PROBABLY. JUST FOR CLARIFICATION
SO IT IS A REQUIREMENT IN THIS
BILL TO BE THIRTY MINUTES- IN
INCREMENTS OF THIRTY MINUTES OR
CAN'T AND I THINK YOU HAVE MY
SCHOOL DISTRICT. WHERE THEY
DIVIDE- THERE RECESSES IN ITS
THIRTY MINUTES ACROSS THE NET.
FIFTEEN MINUTES IN INCREMENTS
AND LUNCH THIRTY FORTY FIVE
MINUTES CORRECT ALLEGES THAT
WHAT YOU FOLKS ARE LOOKING. OKAY
GOOD. THE FLEXIBILITY IN THE WAY
THAT IT'S BEEN IMPLEMENTED BUT
JUST AS WITH THE ASSURANCE THAT
UNDERGIRDS FISHING TIME IS LED.
ACROSS THE- THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
HERE QUESTIONS. THERE'S CHAIR.
PASS THE LATE START TIME BILL.
AND I THINK THIS BILL CAN BE AS
SIGNIFICANT. AS THAT BILL IN
TERMS OF THE QUALITY OF OUR
STUDENTS LIVES. IN ADDITION TO
EVERYTHING THAT WAS LAID OUT BY
THE RESEARCHERS- WHICH I AGREE
WITH. ONE OF MY BIGGEST CONCERNS
GOING FORWARD IS THESE KIDS ARE
LEARNING SOFT SKILLS. BECAUSE
THEY SPEND WAY TOO MUCH TIME ON
THEIR PHONES TURNED IN FRONT OF
A SCREEN AND NOT ENOUGH TIME
INTERACTING. SO I THINK ON TOP
OF HER ALL THOSE OTHER BENEFITS
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING. THAT
AS A SOCIETY WILL BENEFIT FROM
AS WELL- WITH THAT IF YOU'D LIKE
TO CLOSE EIGHT ZERO W.
EFFECTIVELY. SORT OF PRESENTED
MY CLOTHES AS I DO APPRECIATE
THAT AND I WANT TO THANK. HANNAH
AND REBEKAH FROM THE WORK THAT
YOU'VE DONE OVER THE PAST
SEVERAL MONTHS IN SUPPORT OF THE
BILL WORKING WITH COMMITTEE
STAFF TO DO THIS- AND WITH THAT
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR IDOL

THE MOTION. SO WITH THAT CLERK

FRISBEE WE REFERRED TO THE
COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS.

NEW. REGARDING SCHOOL FOR. IN
ALL GENDER. EARS THANK YOU IT
GOOD AGAIN MEMBERS SO BEFORE I
I'D LIKE TO MAKE CLEAR THE I AM
A- THE CA. TO CLASS AND- TO IT.
SEVEN SIX IS A FOR AND MEASURE.
WHICH AIMS TO CREATE A SAFE AND
INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT ONLY FOR
NON BINARY STUDENTS BUT TO BUT
FOR ALL STUDENTS. BY ENSURING
FREE AND ON STIGMATIZE ACCESS
DURING THE SCHOOL DAY TO AN ALL
GENDER RESTROOM THAT THE GENESIS
OF THIS BILL DATES BACK TO
TWENTY TWENTY ONE. WHEN THE
MEMBER OF THE BOARD OF A
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
DISTRICT INTRODUCED A MEASURE
WHICH WOULD HAVE BANNED NON
BINARY AND TRANSGENDER STUDENTS.
FROM USING THE RESTROOMS
CORRESPONDING TO THEIR GENDER
IDENTITIES. IN RESPONSE TO THE
UPROAR GENERATED BY THIS
PROPOSAL CALIFORNIA STATE
SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION. TONY THURMOND MADE
CLEAR THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
POSTAL TO EXCLUDE NON BINARY
STUDENTS FROM SIX AGREE BATHROOM
BATHROOMS WOULD LIKELY
CONSTITUTE A VIOLATION. OF STATE
LAW AND ALTHOUGH THE PROPOSED
MEASURE WAS ULTIMATELY DEFEATED
AT THE BOARD LEVEL THE
SUPERINTENDENT BELIEVE THERE WAS
BOTH A NEED AND AN OPPORTUNITY
TO FOSTER MORE THOUGHTFUL. AND
PRODUCTIVE CONVERSATION AROUND
THIS IMPORTANT ISSUE
SUPERINTENDED THURMAN
SUBSEQUENTLY CONVENED AN AD HOC
COMMITTEE ON SAFE SCHOOL
BATHROOMS. GUIDED BY CDP SENIOR
STAFF THE AD HOC COMMITTEE WHICH
WAS COMPRISED PRIMARILY OF
STUDENTS HELD A SERIES OF
MEETINGS TO SURFACE AND EXPLORE
THE RELEVANT ISSUES. AND TO
PROPOSE A POLICY FRAMEWORK WHICH
COULD BE APPLIED TO SCHOOLS
ACROSS ARE VERY EXPENSIVE IN
DIVERSE STATE SB SEVEN SIXTY IS
THE DIRECT RESULT OF THOSE
CONVERSATIONS. ACCORDING TO THE
TWENTY NINETEEN NATIONAL SCHOOL
CLIMATE SURVEY FULLY 45% OF L.
G. B. T. Q. PLUS AND NON BINARY
STUDENTS REPORTED ACTIVELY
AVOIDING USING GENDER SEGREGATED
SCHOOL BATHROOMS. BECAUSE DOING
SO MAKES THEM FEEL UNSAFE OR
UNCOMFORTABLE MORE OVER STUDENT
WAS DENIED ACCESS TO RESTROOM
FACILITIES APPROPRIATE TO THEIR
GENDER IDENTITY MAY SUFFER
PHYSICAL HARM. IN THE FORM OF
DEHYDRATION URINARY TRACT
INFECTIONS OR OTHER HEALTH AND
MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS IN
ADDITION TO EXPERIENCING
ACADEMIC HARM IN THE FORM OF
TRUANCY- IN DIMINISH GRADES AS A
RESULT. S. B. C. SEVEN SIXTY
WOULD REQUIRE EACH CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC SCHOOL TO ESTABLISH AT
LEAST ONE ALL GENDER RESTROOM
THAT IS AVAILABLE TO ALL
STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF THEIR
GENDER EXPRESSION. ENTEROMEDICS
SENSIBLE TO STUDENTS THROUGHOUT
THE SCHOOL DAY THE BILL ALSO
ALIGNS WITH CALIFORNIA'S
MENSTRUAL EQUITY ACT OF TWENTY
TWENTY ONE AND INCREASES ACCESS
ACCESSIBILITY TO THESE PRODUCTS
BY REQUIRING THAT ALL ALL GENDER
RESTROOMS. ALSO BE STUCK WITH MR
PRODUCTS THE BILL WOULD ALSO
REQUIRE THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO
CONDUCT. PERIODIC COMPLIANCE
REVIEWS I RESPECTFULLY ASKING
FOR YOUR AYE VOTE TODAY WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFY IN SUPPORT OF
SB SEVEN SIXTY I OF JASPER
NIKOLAI A STUDENT MEMBER. OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT AT HOT COMMITTEE
ON C. SCHOOL BATHROOMS AND ALSO
CRAIG PULLS OVER THE LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR FOR QUALITY CALIFORNIA
WHICH IS A PROUD CO SPONSOR. OF
THIS MEASURE IN PARTNERSHIP WITH
SUPERINTENDENT THURMAN. RESPOND
LET US CENTER NEUTERED AS
SENATOR NEWMAN HAS SAID I AM A
MEMBER OF THE SAFE SCHOOL
BATHROOMS ON HOT COMMITTEE. AS
WELL AS SUPERINTENDENT
THURMAN'S- USE ADVISORY COUNCIL
. SO WHETHER WE REALIZE IT OR
NOT MANY OF US HAVE FELT
UNCOMFORTABLE USING THE BATHROOM
AT SOME POINT. WHETHER THE
PEOPLE INSIDE MAKE YOU FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE WHETHER THE
BATHROOM ITSELF AS IN AN UNSAFE
LOCATION OR WHETHER IT FAILS TO
PROTECT YOUR PRIVACY. BATHROOMS
CAN EASILY BECOME VERY
UNPLEASANT PLACES. IN SCHOOLS
THIS DISCOMFORT IS MAGNIFIED.
BULLYING TEENAGE ANGST AND SELF
CONSCIOUSNESS CAN EASILY TURN A
TYPICAL BATHROOM TRIP INTO A
NIGHTMARE. STUDENTS HARASSED OR
BULLIED IN BATHROOMS OFTEN LIMIT
WHAT THEIR WATER INTAKE AND
PURPOSELY AVOID USING SCHOOL
RESTROOMS. I HAVE FELT
UNCOMFORTABLE USING MULTI STALL
SEX SEGREGATED BATHROOMS BEFORE
AS A TRANSGENDER STUDENT I DID
NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE USING- THE
MEN'S RESTROOM FOR. A LARGE
AMOUNT OF YEARS AND NOW I DO
FEEL COMFORTABLE USING IT BUT I.
PREFER USING SINGLE STALL GENDER
NEUTRAL BATHROOMS THEY MAKE ME
FEEL COMFORTABLE THE I DON'T
HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT BEING
HARASSED OR BULLIED. SO EVEN
THEN I AM VERY FORTUNATE NOT TO
HAVE EXPERIENCED MUCH HARASSMENT
OR BULLYING WITHIN BATHROOMS
SOME OF MY CLASSMATES AREN'T AS
LUCKY. THEY ARE BULLIED BECAUSE
OF THEIR WEIGHT THEIR PHYSICAL
APPEARANCE THEIR GENDER IDENTITY
THEIR SEXUAL ORIENTATION. AND
THIS HARASSMENT CAN LEAD TO
MENTAL HEALTH PROBLEMS ANXIETY
LOW SELF ESTEEM DEPRESSION IT
CAN ALSO LEAD TO- PHYSICAL
PROBLEMS AS SENATE AS SENATOR
NEWMAN MENTIONED URINARY TRACT
INFECTIONS DUE TO BACTERIAL
BUILDUP AND DEHYDRATION.
STUDENTS WILL ALSO BE LESS
FOCUSED AND UNABLE TO LEARN DUE
TO OVER FULL BLADDERS. SO THIS
BILL WOULD JUST REQUIRE STUDENTS
TO MAKE ONE SINGLE STALL GENDER
NEUTRAL BATHROOM AVAILABLE FOR
ALL STUDENTS TO USE. IT WAS
CREATED TO ADDRESS THE
HARASSMENT TRANSGENDER AND
GENDER NONCONFORMING PEOPLE
EXPERIENCE IN BATHROOM USE BUT
IN REALITY IT WOULD BENEFIT
EVERYONE. MY PEERS AND I WHO
HAVE BEEN AVOIDING SCHOOL
RESTROOMS AND DEHYDRATING
THEMSELVES THROUGHOUT THE DAY
WOULD BE ABLE TO RELIEVE
THEMSELVES WITHOUT FEAR. IT'S
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL HEALTH WOULD
IMPROVE AND THEY WOULD BE ABLE
TO FOCUS MORE AND LEARN MORE IN
CLASS. SINGLE STALL ALL GENDER
RESTROOMS EXIST EVERYWHERE IN
OUR DAILY LIVES. FROM
RESTAURANTS TO PLAYGROUNDS
CAMPGROUNDS THIS BUILDING. WE
USE THEM WITHOUT THINKING TWICE
. THEN BY IMPLEMENTING THEM IN
SCHOOLS WE MINIMIZE BATHROOM
HARASSMENT AND STUDENT
DISCOMFORT AND IMPROVE STUDENTS
MENTAL AND PHYSICAL WELL BEING
THANK YOU. A GOOD MORNING AGAIN-
CRACKLES FROM BEHALF OF A
QUALITY CALIFORNIA PREKO SPONSOR
OF SB SEVEN SIXTY- AS THEY SAID
THAT THE SAD REALITY IS THAT FOR
MANY LGBTQ STUDENTS ESPECIALLY
TRANS AND NON BINARY YOU IF.
THEY DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE
PERFORMING ONE OF THE MOST BASIC
AND NECESSARY BODILY FUNCTIONS
AT SCHOOL. AS THE CENTER STATED
ROUGHLY 45% OF LGBTQ STUDENTS
REPORTER AVOIDING SCHOOL
RESTROOMS BECAUSE THEY FEEL
UNSAFE OR UNCOMFORTABLE USING
THEM. AND IT GOES WITHOUT SAYING
THAT STUDENTS CAN SUFFER
SIGNIFICANT HEALTH AND ACADEMIC
CONSEQUENCES BY NOT USING THE
RESTROOM DURING AN EIGHT HOUR
SCHOOL DAY. SB SEVEN SIXTY WILL
BRING DESPERATELY NEEDED RELIEF
TO THE STUDENTS BY REQUIRING ALL
K. THROUGH TWELVE SCHOOLS IN
CALIFORNIA TO HAVE AT LEAST ONE
ALL GENDER RESTROOM AVAILABLE
FOR STUDENT USE BEGINNING IN THE
TWENTY TWENTY FIVE SCHOOL YEAR.
AND SCHOOLS CAN USE EXISTING
RESTROOMS TO LIMIT COSTS AS LONG
AS THE RESTROOM IS OPEN AND
ACCESSIBLE DURING SCHOOL HOURS.
OF THE BILL WOULD ALSO REQUIRE
SIGNAGE THAT INCLUDES CONTACT
INFORMATION FOR A STAFF MEMBER
TO ADDRESS ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION. AYE WE BELIEVE
THIS IS LANDMARK LEGISLATION THE
FIRST OF ITS KIND IN THE NATION
AN IMPORTANT AND TIMELY
DEMONSTRATION OF THE STATE'S
COMMITMENT TO LGBTQ STUDENTS. IT
ALSO STANDS IN STARK CONTRAST TO
THE NOW OVER FIVE HUNDRED ANTI
LGBTQ BILLS HAVE BEEN INTRODUCED
TO COP ACROSS THE COUNTRY THIS
YEAR ALONE MANY WHICH TARGET
TRANS TO DANCE AND THEIR ABILITY
TO USE THE RESTROOM. WE ARE
GRATEFUL TO BOTH SENATOR NEWMAN
AND SUPERINTENDENT THURMAN FOR
BRINGING THIS BILL FORWARD TO
TRULY PROTECT LGBTQ STUDENTS I
RESPECTFULLY URGE DRIVE UP.

TESTIMONY ARE THERE ANY. OTHER

SACRAMENTO IN SUPPORT. THANK YOU
VERY MUCH NOW WILL TURN TO THE
OPPOSITION ANY PRIMARY WITNESSES
IN OPPOSITION IN THE ROOM.
PLEASE COME FORWARD. YOUR
MEMBERS MY NAME IS- GREG BURKE
FOR THE CALIFORNIA FAMILY
COUNCIL. I THINK WE ALL AGREE
THAT BULLYING IN SCHOOLS A REAL
PROBLEM IT'S NOT JUST FOR KIDS
IDENTIFYING AS NON BINARY
TRANSGENDER. EVERY KID WHO HAS
EVER BEEN BULLIED KNOWS THE MOST
VOLATILE PLACE YOU CAN BE ON A
SCHOOL CAMPUS IS THE BATHROOM.
WHY BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE
BULLIES HANG OUT. PLEASE KNOW
THAT THAT'S THE BEST PLACE TO
PICK ON KIDS THERE NO SECURITY
CAMERAS THERE'S NO TEACHERS IN
THE BATHROOMS TO DISCOURAGE
MISBEHAVIOR. FEATURES DAILY
DON'T GO IN THE BATHROOMS FOR
FEAR OF BEING ACCUSED OF SEXUAL
ABUSE. I THINK SINGLE STALL
BATHROOMS WOULD BE A WELCOME
ADDITION TO ANY SCHOOL. THEY
PROVIDE A SECURE PLACE FOR
EVERYONE TO GO TO THE BATHROOM
THE PROBLEM IS THEY'RE VERY
EXPENSIVE. BUT A GENDER NEUTRAL
MULTI STALL BATHROOM WHICH IS
LESS EXPENSIVE. WOULD ONLY MAKE
THE PROBLEM BALLING WORSE. THE
GIRLS- ARE GOING TO OUR GIRLS
GOING TO FEEL SAFER AND MORE
COMFORTABLE GOING TO THE
BATHROOM KNOWING THAT BOYS ARE
RIGHT OUTSIDE THEIR STALL. HOW
ARE YOU GOING TO KEEP THE
BULLIES OUT OF GENDER NEUTRAL
MULTI STALL BATHROOMS. THIS
BILL- LET SCHOOLS DECIDE FOR
THEMSELVES WHETHER THEY WILL
INSTALL A GENDER NEUTRAL SINGLE
STALL OR A MORE PEACEFUL
BATHROOM. IF THIS PIC. THE BILL
PASSES WHAT I PREDICT. SCHOOL
DISTRICTS LOOKING FOR THE MOST
COST EFFECTIVE WAY TO IMPLEMENT
THIS WILL SIMPLY CONVERT ONE OF
THE FEMALE MULTI STALL
BATHROOMS. INTO GENDER NEUTRAL
BATHROOM. THE ONLY COST WILL BE
CHANGING THE SIGN ON THE DOOR.
THAT IS WHAT HAPPENED AT THE
STATE CAPITOL WE'RE ONE OF THE
FEMALE MULTI STALL BATHROOMS
NEAR THE DOME ON THE FIRST FLOOR
WAS CONVERTED TO AN ALL GENDER
BATHROOM A FEW YEARS AGO. I
REMEMBER STANDING BY THE NEW IN
NEARBY. WATCHING THE CHAOS THAT
WOULD ENSUE WHEN ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL STUDENTS VISITING THE
CAPITAL WITH ALL HEAD INTO THE
GENDER NEUTRAL BATHROOM. THE
GIRLS WERE NOT HAPPY WITH BOYS
IN THEIR BATHROOM. EVERYONE
DESERVES. TO GO TO SCHOOL
KNOWING THEY'RE SAFE FROM
BULLIES. ASK THE AVERAGE PARENT
IF THEY WANT THEIR DAUGHTERS
USING A BATHROOM WITH BOYS OR
MEN FOR THAT MATTER. SINGLE
STALL BATHROOMS WOULD BE A PLUS
MULTI STALL GENDER NEUTRAL
BATHROOMS WOULD BE A DISASTER. I
ENCOURAGE YOU TO MIDDLE THE BILL
OTHERWISE PLEASE VOTE NO THANK
YOU. THANK YOU ANY ANY ANYONE

CONCERNS. CENTER GLAZER. THANK
YOU- HEY I YOU KNOW WE ALL BRING
TO THE DAIS OUR EXPERIENCES IN
LIFE- ADD UP FOR ME AT LEAST
THAT SOMETIMES YOU WANT IF YOU
SHARE MORE THAN YOU SHOULD BUT-
FOR ME IN MY LIFE THE FIRST TIME
I EVER RAN FOR PUBLIC OFFICE WAS
IN JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL AND FOR
STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT. AT THE
ISSUE WAS THE BATHROOMS. THAT'S
A LONG TIME AGO- BUT CERTAINLY
IT'S SOMETHING THAT- I'VE I'VE
RECOGNIZE THEN AND NOW THAT IT'S
A SERIOUS SERIOUS ISSUE. AND I
APPRECIATE THE WITH THE WORKADAY
AUTHOR ON THIS BILL. I KNOW THAT
THE CHALLENGES ARE FACILITIES
THAT'S NOT EASY TO OVERCOME IN.
BUT THIS ALLOWS THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THAT LOCAL. ECONOMY
TO. MAKE THE BEST CHOICES I
THINK IN THE SPIRIT OF THIS
BILL. AND SO I'M HAPPY TO
SUPPORT IT TODAY WITH THAT.
CREATED FOR YOU I HAVE
AMENDMENTS GOING FORWARD IF YOU
CONSIDER ME AS A CO AUTHOR
BRIGITTE THAT IS WRITTEN GLAD TO
THANK YOU. SENATOR JOE BOTH. SO
TALKING ABOUT IT LIFE
EXPERIENCES SO I AM GOING TO
SHARE MY BRICK MY EXPERIENCE
WITH YOU KNOW MY CHILDREN I HAD
TWO OF MY THREE KIDS ACTUALLY.
BULLIED IN THE BATHROOMS- IN AT
IN JUNIOR HIGH. AND THEY CAME
HOME THEY SHARED WITH ME AND-
IT. IT BOTHERED ME BUT ONCE
AGAIN I'D NEVER MADE MY CHILDREN
FEEL LIKE VICTIMS I EMPOWER THEM
TO UNDERSTAND- I EIGHT I TELL
THEM EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE. BUT
THAT ASIDE AND THERE'S SOME
THINGS THAT I WANT TO CLARIFY-
MAKE SURE THAT WE UNDERSTAND IS
THE PUBLIC. M. LET ME JUST BEGIN
FIRST WITH THE CONCERN THAT I
HAVE AND THAT IS THE FUNDING
PART OF IT AT OF THE OF THE BILL
COMING FROM A SCHOOL. OUT LOCAL
SCHOOL. BOARD I'M I'M ALWAYS A
LITTLE HESITANT ABOUT NOT LITTLE
VERY HESITANT ABOUT SUPPORTING
BILLS THAT ARE UNFUNDED
MANDATES. SO THAT'S THE CONCERN
THAT I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE YOU
ADDRESS WHAT THE PLAN OF ACTION
IS MAKING SURE THAT WE PROVIDE
THE FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE THIS FOR OUR
STUDENTS. AND THE REASON I AM
GOING TO BE IN SUPPORT OF THIS
BILL IS BECAUSE I THINK THAT
THERE ARE A LOT OF STUDENTS.
REGARDLESS REGARDLESS OF GENDER
IDENTITY REGARDLESS OF SEX
REGARDLESS OF ANYWHERE I THINK
SOME STUDENTS FEEL- SAFER GOING
TO A PRIVATE STRONG THAT I'M
GONNA DRESS THE PRIVATE SMALL
PART OF IT. THE PRIVATE STROLL
AND THEN- THAN USING A PUBLIC
BATHROOM I KNOW THAT WOULD NIGHT
RIGHT HERE IN THE BUILDING WHEN
THERE IS AN OPTION BETWEEN THE
SINGLE STALL OR THE- THE- THE
MULTI STRONG. I PREFER THE
PRIVATE STRONG. THAT'S OCCUPIED
THEN I GO TO THE MALL BASED ALL
BUT THAT IS MY PERSONAL
PREFERENCE. AND I THINK OUR
STUDENTS WOULD VERY MUCH
APPRECIATE THE PRIVACY-
REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE. AB
FOR SAFETY REASONS- TO DO THE TO
HAVE A PRIVATE STROLLER
ACCESSIBLE- ON CAMPUS- FOR THEIR
USE IN A AND THAT'S ONE OF THE
REASONS WHY I'M IN HUGE
SUPPORTED THIS BILL SPECIALLY
WITH THE EXPERIENCES OF MY
CHILDREN HAD. AND I KNOW HOW
CHILDREN CAN BE I HAD- YOU KNOW
MY SIGN AT ONE POINT SAID YOU
KNOW MOM. I BECAUSE I. DON'T
UNDERSTAND I'VE COME TO THE
REALIZATION THAT HIGH SCHOOL
HERE ARE JUST. MEAN THANK FROM A
SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD. SO. TO
REALIZE THAT THERE'S ACTUALLY
MEAN PEOPLE OUT THERE.
REGARDLESS OF WHERE YOU ARE AS
FAR AS IDENTITY GOES IT DOESN'T
MATTER IT'S JUST. HUMAN NATURE
IN THAT STAGE OF LIFE. YOU KNOW
ACTUALLY EVEN AS ADULTS WE HAVE
THAT- THERE ARE PEOPLE WHO ARE
JUST MEAN AND THAT'S JUST LIFE.
AB SO WE HAVE TO EMPOWER PEOPLE
WITH THE ABILITY THE SKILL SETS
TO BE ABLE TO NAVIGATE THAT. ON
THE CIRCUMSTANCES BUT THAT'S ONE
OF THE REASONS WHY I AM ACTUALLY
VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BILL-
THE MET THE FUND THE FUNDING IS
WHAT THE PROBLEM. AND IN ORDER
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUES WITH THE
GENDER NEUTRAL MULTI STALL. AND
IF THEY WERE TO INSTALL MULTI
MULTI STALL GENDER NEUTRAL
BATHROOMS. THE SCHOOLS THIS THE
SPOOLS IN THE STUDENTS STILL
HAVE ACCESS TO ALL FEMALE
BATHROOMS THIS IS NOT EXCLUDING
OVERCORRECTED SHOULDN'T DID
THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT THIS BILL
THAT WOULD. CAUSE A SCHOOL
DISTRICT OR A SCHOOL TO
ELIMINATE THE FACILITY FOR ONE
OF THE OTHER GENDERS IT'S ABOUT
PROVIDING. AN ADDITIONAL SPACE
THAT IS GENDER NEUTRAL- THAT
EASILY ACCESSIBLE THAT'S ON
STIGMATIZED. IN ITS USE SO WE
STILL HAVE ACCESS TO ALL FEMALE
BATHROOMS WE STILL HAVE ACCESS
TO MAIL BATHROOMS WHERE STUDENTS
CAN BOTH PARTICIPATE IN THE
REASON I BRING THIS UP IS
BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND THAT THEY
ARE. A FEMALES AND WHO FEEL
UNCOMFORTABLE HAVING SOMEONE
THAT IDENTIFIES DIFFERENTLY-
COMING TO THAT STROLLING USE
THAT RESTROOM AND THAT'S WHY I
WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE
THAT ON RECORD IS THAT. AB THIS
ACTUALLY. WOULD MAKE A LOT OF
GIRLS VERY COMFORTABLE BASED ON
WHAT WE'VE HEARD IN THE NEWS AND
REPORTS- FROM FROM INDIVIDUALS
THAT. I'M FEELING COMFORTABLE
WITH HAVING MALES COMING IN AND
THE WAY TO DEVISE FEMALES COMING
INTO THE BATHROOM- AND PERHAPS
EVEN VICE VERSA SO I THINK
HAVING ALL THREE A BILL. THREE
FACILITIES AB TWO AVAILABLE FOR
STUDENTS WOULD ACTUALLY BE.
ACCOMMODATE EVERYBODY SPEARS AND
EVERYBODY'S NEEDS ARE ON THAT
FRONT ENDS ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY I'M ACTUALLY GOING TO
SUPPORT THAT THE ONLY CONCERN
AND I WOULD LOVE TO GIVE YOU
NUMBER TEN IS THE FUND THE
FUNDING PART OF IT BECAUSE WE'RE
GOING TO MAKE THIS. A MANDATE WE
HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ALLOW
THAT THE SCHOOL DISTRICT WE HAVE
THE FUNDING TO BE ABLE TO
ACCOMMODATE YES INSISTED I
APPRECIATE BOTH YOUR PERSPECTIVE
AND YOUR SUPPORT. CHAU CHAU ITO
IN CRAFTING THE BILL WE TRIED TO
DELIVER RELIEF FIND THAT SPACE
WHERE WE WERE. AT SOLVING THE
PROBLEM RIGHT AND THE PROBLEM IS
REAL RIGHT THE IN THE PROMISE
ESPECIALLY INTENSE AS JASPRIT
CLEAR IF YOU'RE AT THAT. AGE YOU
KNOW AND LIKE YOU SAID COOL CAN
BE A MEANS. IT'S A REAL MEAN FOR
A YOUNG PERSON TRYING TO
SOMETHING OUT- AND THAT DOES.
HAS TO HAVE TO EXTRA. THAT
GAUNTLET EVERYDAY JUST DO
SOMETHING WE ALL TAKE FOR
GRANTED. I HAVE AND SO YOU WHAT
WE DON'T DIDN'T WANT TO DO WHICH
WAS WILK BECAUSE SCHOOLS- TO
INCREASE THE EXPENSE OF BUILDING
NEW FACILITIES- AND SO WE HAVE
DELIVERY LEFT IT. TO THE
DISCRETION OF DISTRICTS THAT TO
LOOK AT THE FACILITIES- TO CRAFT
EXACTLY WAY DESCRIBE WHICH IS TO
HAVE SO IS FOR. ME TO MAKE IT
FIT MALES FEMALES GENDER
NEUTRAL- IN SOME WAY THAT
IDEALLY PROVIDES- THE PRIVACY
THE ACCESS THAT WERE WERE THAT
WERE ENDEAVORING TO PROVIDE- ED
CHAU IT THERE HOPEFULLY WILL BE
VERY FEW CASES. WHERE A SCHOOL
EITHER HAS TO CONSTRUCT A NEW
BATHROOM. OR TO JASPER'S POINTS
THAT USES A MULTI STALL
BATHROOMS TO ACCOMPLISH THE
GOAL- AND AGAIN WE YOU KNOW WHAT
WE'LL WE'LL WORK DELIVERY WITH
ANYBODY BUT I GIVE GREAT CREDIT
TO C. D. E. FOR. NOT FOR WORKING
THIS FOR THEY ALSO PROVIDE
GUIDANCE ALREADY ABOUT HOW
SCHOOL DISTRICTS CAN DO THIS-
BUT IT'S GETTING STAND ACROSS
THE STATE- IN IT SO THAT'S
THAT'S WERE DIFFERENT TO DO
HERE- AND I DELETE THE THEY
WON'T INCUR THE EXPENSE FOR. YOU
KNOW THE KIND THE BUREAUCRATIC-
IT CHALLENGES WORKING WITH THE
DEPARTMENT STATE THEY DID THE
STATE ARCHITECT- SEE DO YOU KNOW
BECAUSE YOUR SCHOOL IS YOU KNOW
HOW TOUGH THAT IS. SO FIRST STEP
IS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM PROVIDE
THAT NEUTRAL- YOU KNOW SO ON
STIGMATISE SPACE TO YOUNG
PEOPLE. THAT SAY THEY DON'T
ENCOUNTER THE PEER PRESSURE- THE
ANXIETY. OR THE STIGMATIZATION
COME FROM EFFECTIVELY OUTING
THEMSELVES EVERY SINGLE DAY.
MULTIPLE TIMES A DAY FOR NOT-
AND ABSORBING ALL OF THE HARMS
THAT THAT CAUSES. A ISSUE THAT'S
THE GIST OF THE BILL AND I WANT
TO GIVE- YOU KNOW IMMENSE CREDIT
TO NOT ONLY TO THE ONLY JAZZ FOR
GOOD ALL OF THE PARTICIPANTS- OF
THE TASK FORCE WHO VERY BRAVELY
AND VERY ARTICULATELY GOT
TOGETHER- AND WORKED WITH. THE
SUPERINTENDENT I WITH MY STAFF
WITH COMMITTEE STAFF TO MAKE
SURE THAT THIS BILL ACTUALLY DO
ACHIEVE GOALS. HERE THANK I'M A
MAKE A QUICK COMMENT- I THOUGHT
JASPER WAS VERY EFFECTIVE
ADVOCATE IN FACT- BOTH CENTER
GLAZER NOW AND MYSELF WERE
HAVING FLASHBACKS TO OUR YOUTH-
BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT BATHROOM
BEING BEING A VERY. VERY
DANGEROUS PLACE BUT YEAH I WENT
TO HIGH SCHOOL THIRTY THREE
HUNDRED. KIDS WHEN YOU'RE A
FRESHMAN AND I WAS NOT GOOD-
THERE OUTSIDE OF GOOD FRIEND
FEMALE. AND SHE WOULD NOT GO TO
THE BATHROOM AND OPTION IT WITH
THE URINARY TRACK INFECTION-
BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT HER
STORY WAS I WAS A TEENAGE BOY
THEN I DON'T REALLY CARE. I NOW
BE MORE CONCERNED ABOUT IT BUT
YOU KNOW HOW THAT WORKS- BUT I
DO. I DO THINK THAT THERE'S
CREDENCE AND I UNDERSTAND WHAT
YOU'RE DOING YOU'RE TRYING TO.
NOT BE ONE SIZE FITS ALL AND ALL
THAT BUT I DO THINK IT'S A
LEGITIMATE ARGUMENT BROUGHT UP
BY THE OPPOSITION. I'D LOVE AYE
PREFERS TO USE SINGLE SINGLE
STALL. BECAUSE I THINK I THINK
THAT THAT IT. ACHIEVES THE GOAL
AND IS ACTUALLY SAFER. AND I'M
SURE THERE WILL BE LIMITED. IF
IS MULTI STALL. THERE TO BE
INCIDENTS. IN I'M SURE IT WILL
BE MUCH. THAN IT IS CURRENTLY IS
. I DON'T I DON'T KNOW I JUST. I
AM BUT I'M WELL I'M WELL I'M
GONNA LAY OUT FOR TODAY AND I
THINK MORE THINK MORE ABOUT IT.
BUT I UNDERSTAND YOU'RE TRYING
TO GET THAT SWEET SPOT. IN YOUR
COLLEAGUE YOU'RE PROBABLY THERE
BUT I'M I'M NOT THERE YET BUT-
ANYWAY PRECIADO YOU ALWAYS
LOOKING OUT FOR THE BEST
INTERESTS OF ALL STUDENTS. I'M
PRETTY SURE THAT THEY DON'T MOVE
UNTIL. BILLS REMOVED DID YOU
WANNA MAKE ONE FURTHER COMMENT I
DON'T CONJURE ON THAT AND I AND
FOR THE RECORD I THINK YOU'RE
ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AS SENATOR WOKE
IN THE FACT THAT. WITH MULTI-
MULTI STALL BATHROOMS GENDER OR
NON. NEUTRAL BATHROOMS. BULLYING
COULD ALWAYS HAPPEN IN THOSE. IS
REST WHICH IS WHY I THINK WHAT I
WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT I WOULD
PREFER. SINGLE STALLS- AS WELL
BUT YOU HAVE TO. IS A COST YOU.
YEAH I WAS THAT THEY IS THE
ASPIRATION THE I DO- BUT WHAT WE
DIDN'T WANT TO DO WAS TO CREATE
A YOU KNOW A MASSIVE EXPENSE.
FOR THOSE SCHOOLS THAT ARE GOING
HAVE TO FIGURE SOMETHING OUT.
AND MORE LIKELY THAN NOT WHAT
THEY'LL FIGURE OUT IS THE
PROBABLY ALLOCATED STAFF
BATHROOM IS ALREADY SINGLE STALL
BATHROOM. YEAH AND THE ONLY
CONSIDERATION THERE IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT THEY DID YOU AGAIN ON
STIGMATIZE THAT YOU DON'T HAVE
TO ASK FOR THE KEY THE ONLY
AFTER. YOUR FAVORITE PRESENT
YOURSELF THAT TO YOU KNOW TO
ADULTS IT BY WAY OF. EXPRESSING
YOUR GENDER IDENTITY EVERY DAY
DAY BY DAY. IT THE CUT YOU KNOW
THE ALTERNATIVE WAS WAS TO ADD
SOMETHING TO TRY TO NARROW THAT
WOULD HAVE ACTUALLY IMPACTED
MANY SCHOOLS AND IT'S REALLY.
PROPONENTS WELL CAN ALSO PASS
CENTER. SCHOOL BOND. NOT JUST ON
THE BALLOT ISSUE HEAR THAT SOME
POINT I DON'T TO- ANYWAY GRANT
PROGRAMS YEAH. YOUR GRANDMA
AFTER. BUT I WILL SAY YEAH I WAS
GOING TO TELL. A INAPPROPRIATE
TO THIS. ESPECIALLY IN THIS
BUDGET. RIGHT DISCOUNT ON TO. SO
ALL OF THE THINGS ARE THINK
WORTHY OF PURSUIT- THE FIRST
WATER BASED IS JUST A VERY
PROBLEM. FOR YOUNG PEOPLE AND
LET ME ALL SAY THIS IS YOU KNOW
WE HAVE HI MY- IN ORDER. THE
TEND TO STRETCH OUT. WHEN YOU'RE
IN HIGH SCHOOL IN HIGH SCHOOL
WHEN YOU'RE A JUNIOR SENIOR DO
YOU GET YOU GET ONLY ONE. HIGH
SCHOOL EXPERIENCE YOU GET ONLY
ONE SCHOOL EXPERIENCE SO IT IS
INCUMBENT UPON US AS POLICY
MAKERS TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DO
WHAT WE NEED TO DO AS QUICKLY AS
POSSIBLE FOR THOSE STUDENTS. WHO
NEED RELIEF NOW I AGREE TO YOUR
CIS SEVEN WORST YEARS OF MY LIFE
HIGH SCHOOL. OKAY WITH THAT IF
YOU COULD. THAT WAS MY OKAY
EXACTLY- PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
SB SEVEN SIX NEWMAN MOTION IS TO
PASS AMENDED BUT FIRST AMENDED.
AND RE REFER IT THE COMMITTEE ON
CREATION. NEWMAN AYE NEWMAN- TO.
AYE BUT TROUBLED I FORTES. AS
PLEASE AYE MCGUIRE. SMALLWOOD
CLEVERNESS I SMALL WOULD. I WILK
NUMBER. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR
WE HAVE FOR INCHES- AND WE'RE
WHICH I THINK SHOULD HAVE TO GO
IT OUT IN THE RECOMMEND. TWO
PASS AS AMENDED JEFF PROBST AND
WE'LL LEAVE IT OPEN FOR OUR
COLLEAGUES TO ADD ON. WITH
ELEMENT TURNED. THE GAL BACK
OVER TO- OUR CHAIR TO HEAR OUR
FINAL BILL THE DAY SENATOR
GLAZERS. OKAY THANK YOU SIR
WELCOME TO MEET VERY LOW STATE
CHEERING. FOR NEXT BILL SENATE
BILL WILL TO YOU TO PRESENT SB
EIGHT FIFTY SIX. AND THANK YOU
TO ALL THE WITNESSES WHO CAME
FOR SB. SEVEN SIXTY. THANK YOU
YOUR NEWMAN AT I KNOW THAT
MEMBERS KNOW WHAT DOUBLE BOOKED
HERE THIS MORNING ABANDONED
OTHER COMMITTEE OBLIGATION OTHER
BILL PRESENTATIONS SO. I DO NOT
HAVE HEARD ALL THE CONVERSATIONS
EARLIER TODAY THAT FABRICATE THE
OPPORTUNITY PRESENTS YEAH SB
EIGHT FIFTY SIX TODAY THANK YOU
FOR THE COMMITTEE STAFFER
WORKING WITH ME ON THE BILL. BUT
FOR THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND
YOU WILL KNOW THAT I- I AUTHORED
LEGISLATION TWO THOUSAND
SIXTEEN- WITHOUT WHICH THE
CALIFORNIA PROMISE PROGRAM AT
THE STATE UNIVERSITIES- THE
PROGRAM AIMED TO INCREASE THEIR
GRADUATION RATES FOR FOUR YEAR
STUDENTS AND ALSO TO YOUR
TRANSFER. STUDENTS I ALLOWS THE
STUDENT TO SIGN A PLEDGE SAYING
THEY'RE GONNA TAKE AT LEAST
THIRTY UNITS. IN A PER ACADEMIC
YEAR AND THEN OUT OF THAT THEY
RECEIVE PRIORITY REGISTRATION
AND ADDITIONAL COUNSELING.
SERVICES SO THERE'S SOME
POSITIVES AND NEGATIVES THAT
HAVE COME OUT OF THAT PROPOSAL
AND THE WORK THAT THE CSU IS
DONE TO IMPROVE GRADUATION
RATES. LET ME MENTION THE
POSITIVES FIRST THE POSITIVES
ARE FROM SIX YEARS AGO WE'VE
IMPROVED A FOUR YEAR GRADUATION
RATES FROM NINETEEN PERCENT.
THEN THE 35% TODAY OKAY
UNBELIEVABLE PROGRESS AND THAT
OF COURSE IS DUE TO THE
WONDERFUL FACULTY. UNIVERSITY
PRESIDENTS THE- LEADERSHIP FROM
THE SYSTEM- AT STAFF EVERYBODY
HAS DONE A GREAT JOB AT THAT
SITTING. IT'S ALMOST A DOUBLING
OF PRODUCTION OUTCOMES AT ALMOST
NO COST THINK ABOUT THAT CHANGE.
TALK ABOUT TRYING TO IMPROVE
EFFICIENCIES IN OUR STATE. BUT
WOW RIGHT. THE SECOND WOW IS
THAT THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THIS
CALIFORNIA PROMISE PROGRAM THAT
THEY'RE A TRANSFER STUDENT. THEY
THEY'RE GRADUATING IN TWO YEARS
64% AND IF THEY WERE NOT IN IT
THE ONLY GRADUATING AT FORTY TWO
PERCENT. SO AGAIN IF YOU CAN GET
STUDENTS ON THAT PATH. WITH A
FOCUS ON COULD GETTING THOSE
UNITS AND THE SYSTEM THE
CAMPUSES ARE WORKING WITH THEM
TO DO THAT WERE SEEN SUBSTANTIAL
SUBSTANTIAL PROGRESS- AND
FINALLY. AND THIS IS A POSITIVE
TO. THAT OF THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN
IN THE PROMISE PROGRAM TWO
THIRDS OF THEM ARE PARTICIPANTS
WHO ARE PELL GRANT RECIPIENTS.
FIRST GENERATION STUDENTS SO THE
FOCUS OF THIS PROGRAM. ON THE
UNDER REPRESENTED IS PAYING OFF
REALLY INCREDIBLE PROGRESS. BUT
LET ME TALK ABOUT THE NEGATIVES.
AND THERE'S A REAL THERE'S A
REAL BIG NEGATIVE. WHICH IS THAT
THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP. THE
GRADUATION RATES OF-
HISTORICALLY UNDERREPRESENTED.
CAMPUS WIDE IS NOT CHANGING. NOT
CHANGED IT WAS 11% GAP. SIX
YEARS AGO. YOU'RE STILL 11% GAP
TODAY. IS THAT FOR WHATEVER
REASON. WE'RE STILL NOT CLOSING
THAT GAP SO WE'RE MAKING
PROGRESS ON A GRADUATION RATES.
THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN IN THIS
PROGRAM ARE MAKING MORE PROGRESS
BUT OVERALL AS A CAMPUS. NOT SO
MUCH. SO THIS LEGISLATION HERE
TODAY. IS AN ATTEMPT TO CONTINUE
THIS POSITIVE WORK. THIS
COMMITTEE IN THE LEGISLATURE HAS
SUPPORTED. TO INCREASE THE
GRADUATION RATES AMONG UNDER
REPRESENTED. AND IT HAS TO
PROVISIONS TO IT. NUMBER ONE IT
REQUIRES THAT ON CAMPUS IS THAT
THEY HAVE AT LEAST 5%
PARTICIPATING. IF ONLY SEVEN
CAMPUSES THAT HAVE MEET THAT
THRESHOLD TODAY THIS BILL SAYS
OKAY NO CAMPUS IS NOT JUST THE
GOOD ONES BUT ALL OF THEM YOU
NEED TO DO BETTER. THAT'S THE
FIRST THING THE BILL DOES AND
THE SECOND THING THAT IT DOES IS
THAT. A STUDENT WOULD NOW HAVE
TO OPT OUT OF THE PROGRAM VERSUS
DECIDE TO GET INTO THE PROGRAM.
SO WHEN YOU SIGN UP AND REGISTER
YOU HAVE TO SAY I DON'T WANT TO
BE AN- RATHER THAN I HAVE TO
FIND OUT WITH THIS WITH THIS
PROGRAM EXISTS AND I WANT TO BE
IN. BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT I THINK
IS THE BEEN THE PROBLEM.
STUDENTS REGISTERING ON A CAMPUS
TO KNOW ABOUT THIS FOR YOUR- A
GRADUATION PROGRAM IT'S SIX
CLICKS AWAY. IT'S NOT RIGHT
THERE IN FRONT OF YOU I WANTED I
WANT TO SIGN UP I WANT TO BE IN
THIS I WANT THAT PATHWAY IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT TO FIND. AND SO
THIS IS AN ATTEMPT TO NOT
PRETEND LIKE EVERY CAMPUS YOU
KNOW I'M A LOCAL CONTROL PERSON
EVERY CAMPUS GETS TO DO IT THEIR
WAY. THIS IS NOW GOING TO SAY A
STUDENT EVERY STUDENT HAS TO
ACTUALLY SAID I WANT TO BE IN
THIS PROGRAM BECAUSE WE NEED
THEM IN. AND ON THIS BACK. SO
THAT'S A SUMMARY OF WHAT THIS
BILL DOES AND APPRECIATE YOUR
CONSIDERATION TODAY I HAVE ONE.
PERSON TO. FIND A WONDERFUL
STUDENT. AT CAITLYN GOMEZ. IS A
PROMISE STUDENT AT CSU FORTUNATE
SHE'S STILL HERE. YOUR SHE
DUMPS. I'M IS GONNA IS WELCOMED
. AND THANK YOU. BEING HERE. YOU
GOT YOU GOT TO SEE A LOT OF
LEGISLATIVE PROCESS TODAY
PROBABLY MORE THAN YOU. WANTED
TO WITH. WELCOME PLEASE PROCEED.
GOOD MORNING THANK YOU SENATOR
GLAZERS. KAREN COMMITTEE MEMBERS
IS AN HONOR TO BE HERE IN
SUPPORT OF SB EIGHT FIVE SIX. MY
NAME IS KILLING GOMEZ I'M A
FOURTH YEAR STUDENT AT CAL STATE
FULLERTON. I AM A PROUD
CALIFORNIA PROMISE SCHOLARS. AND
AM FORTUNATE TO GRADUATE IN MAY
TWENTY. THREE AS OF FIRST
GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENT I
WHEN I HAD ANTICIPATED. THAT I
WOULD HAVE STAYED AND GRADUATE
ON TIME WITHOUT THE STRONG
SUPPORT OF THE COPRINUS PROGRAM
. THE SUMMER BEFORE MY FIRST
SEMESTER AT CSUF. I RECEIVED AN
EMAIL INVITING ME TO JOIN THE
CALL PROMISE PROGRAM. THE
PRIORITY REGISTRATION WAS A NICE
INCENTIVE THAT PERSUADED ME TO
OPT INTO THE PROGRAM. SO I
SIGNED UP. EVERY SEMESTER I WAS
GUARANTEED IN ADVISING MEETING
WITH MY GENERAL EDUCATION MAJOR
AND MINOR ADVISORS. TO ENSURE I
SIGNED UP FOR THE RIGHT CLASSES.
IN ADDITION THE SEMESTER MEANS
HELP ME BUILD A RELATIONSHIP
WITH MY ADVISERS THE ULTIMATELY
OPEN DOORS TO OPPORTUNITIES THAT
I WOULD OTHERWISE NOT HAVE KNOWN
. WITHOUT THE COMPLIMENTS I
WOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN FULL
ADVANTAGE OF THE PROGRAMS SUCH
AS THE CAL CDC SACRAMENTO
SEMESTER IN MINORITY HEALTH
RESEARCH. OFFERED AS A POLITICAL
SCIENCE MAJOR AND PUBLIC HEALTH
MINOR. HOWEVER THE REALITY IS
THAT SCHOLARS WOULD HAVE TO BE
INVITED TO JOIN THE PROGRAM. I
RECALL BEING SURPRISED BY MY
PEERS WERE NOT INVITED TO JOIN
OR ALLOWED TO SIGN UP. SB EIGHT.
EIGHT FIVE SIX WOULD SOLVE THAT
INCLUDE MORE STUDENTS IN THE
PROGRAM YOU MAY BE IN THE SAME
BOAT AS I WAS FOUR YEARS AGO.
OVERALL THE COPRIME PROGRAM HELP
ME STAY ON TRACK AND SAVE ME
FROM DIGGING MYSELF INTO
FINANCIAL DEBT. I RESPECTFULLY
ASK THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS TO
VOTE I ON SB EIGHT PRICE SIX.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
TESTIMONY AND TESTIMONY AND GO
TITANS- IS THERE ANYBODY ELSE IN
THE COMMITTEE HEARING WOULD LIKE

ISSUES MY NAME'S CHARLIE ASKED I
AM ONE OF THE FEW
REPRESENTATIVE. ON THE VEHICLE
BACK THEN COME- IN I AM PLEASED
DRUNK THE COURT ON BEHALF OF ALL
OF IT WOULD BE TO KEEP THE COULD
BE LEFT IN I HAVE. THAT SO FOR
ANY. THANK YOU IT NEXT PLAYS.
THAT WE HAVE NO FOR COMMENTS
THANK YOU WITH THE STOCK. I
THINK IT WAS GREAT BACK TO THE
CA. AIM IS TO WANT TO SPEAK TO
THE BILL QUESTIONS CIRCULATION.
SENATOR BUGS. YES I WAS JUST.
CURIOUS FOR THE REC FOR THE
PUBLIC TO UNDERSTAND AND YOUR-
IS ON OKAY SIR. ALWAYS ON. SO M.
LLER WAS ON AND- WITH QUESTIONS
WITH S. SEE IT'S AN OPTIMUM. AND
YOU SAID LEAST- 5% OF THE
INCOMING. AT LEAST. C. SEVENTY
PER HAVE TO BE AT EITHER LOW
INCOME IF HAVE TO. OUT OF THE
PROGRAM ARE YOU. ARE YOU
INFERRING THAT EVERY SINGLE
STREET COMING INTO THE
UNIVERSITY. IS ROLLED INTO
PROGRAM AND- THEN THEY HAVE THE
OPTION TO. EXIT THE PROGRAM BUT
THE UNIVERSITY HAS TO. REQUIRE
THAT WHERE WAS LEFT OVER HER-
WHOEVER. HOW WOULD THEY DO THAT
HOW IT DEBIT AND TYPICALLY IT'S
JUST DONE BY A MOUSE CLICK-
WHERE THEY- AND THE REGISTRATION
IS SAID YOU WANT TO BE IN THIS
PROGRAM OR DO YOU WANT TO OPT
OUT A WEEK. BUT THE BOXES OPT
OUT SO I'M JUST TRYING TO FIGURE
OUT HOW DO A COMEDY THAT THE
THAT THAT THE MINIMUM
REQUIREMENTS- SO THAT YOU SEE IN
THE MADE AWARE OF THE
REQUIREMENTS YOU HAVE TO TAKE
THIRTY THAT UNITS IN THE COURSE
OF THE YEAR NOT THOSE
REQUIREMENTS. BY THE UNIVERSITY
I'M SORRY I'M NOT BEING VERY
CLEAR MY QUESTIONING- WITHIN THE
REQUIRED HOW DO YOU HOW DO YOU
ENSURE THAT THE THAT THE
UNIVERSITY IS ABLE TO MAINTAIN
THOSE MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS OF
FIVE PERCENT. OF INCOMING
STUDENTS OR THAT AT LEAST 70%
ISSUES BE EITHER LOW INCOME
FIRST GENERATION- OR UNDER
PRESIDENT COMMUNITIES WHEN IT'S
AN OPTION FOR THE STUDENTS TO.
EITHER STAY IN THE PREMIER NOT
C. THE PROGRAM ALSO THERE'S NO
PENALTIES IN THIS BILL THIS IS
THEIR GOALS THAT THE BILL HAS
ESTABLISHED AND- IT TOO WAS
SUCCESSFUL THE- UNIVERSITIES
WOULD WORK TO. TO DO EXACTLY
THAT TO AT LEAST HAVE FIVE
PERCENT- BUT THAT THE REASON
THAT I DON'T THINK THEY'LL BE AN
ISSUE IF YOU'RE A CAN OF COURSE
IF YOU'RE GOING TO. ALLOW THE
OPTION TO OPT OUT VERSUS OPT IN
I THINK YOU'RE GOING TO MEET THE
5% THRESHOLD EVERY CAMPUS. QUITE
EASILY- AND- SO I DON'T THINK
THAT'S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM IN
PARTICULAR- AND DIED YOU KNOW IN
TERMS OF THE DIVERSITY I THINK
THIS IS WHAT THE PROGRAM FOCUSES
ON IS DIVERSITY. AND I THINK
THAT I'M NOT QUESTION THE INTENT
AT ALL THROUGH I THINK IT'S A
IT'S A GREAT INTENT OF THE OF
THE BILL I WAS JUST ABOUT THE
CAPACITY ISSUE OF THE UNIVERSITY
NOT THE CAPACITY ISSUE JUST THE
FACT THAT. GUARANTEED THAT THE
STUDENTS. AT THE UNIVERSITY HAS
ENOUGH STUDENTS TO MEET AT LEAST
5% WHEN THE STUDENTS HAVE TO
CHOOSE WHETHER OR NOT. THERE'S A
KNOCK OUT ROUND CAN'T GUARANTEE
IT SO NOW OKAY- SO WE'VE DONE IT
THAT IT'S BEEN VOLUNTARY. WE CAN
SEE SIT SEVEN CAMPUS BEING
SUPERSTARS. YOU KNOW I'VE UPPING
THEIR GRADUATION RATES
SUBSTANTIALLY- AND SO- IT THAT
WE REALLY HAVE- AND- ABOUT YOU
KNOW HALF. OF THE- THAT HAVE
INVOKE ON THIS FOR. IT HIT AWAY
AND THERE WERE. STUDENTS TO EVEN
KNOW WHAT'S AVAILABLE- AND ON.
WITH DICK IMPORTANT. IN TERMS OF
UNDER. IN TO BE MORE AWARE SO I
I'M PUSH THE SYSTEM WITH THIS
BILL. YOU KNOW FROM MY WORK HERE
I LOVE THIS THE FOUR YEAR
INSTITUTIONS I'M A CHAMPION FOR
SO MANY OF THEM. AND I WAS A
TRUSTEE SO THEY KNOW THIS IS MY
FRIENDLY NUDGE. THE WANTING TO
DO BETTER. AND THAT'S WHAT WE'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE AND IN THE
LEGISLATION AND I A COMPLETE
APPRECIATE THE INTENT THAT I
APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU'RE
DOING THIS. I WAS JUST KIND OF
CURIOUS AS TO YOU. YOU HAVE
REACHED MINIMUM REQUIREMENTS AND
TRY TO FIGURE OUT HOW DOES THAT
BECOME. A RESPONSIBILITY
UNIVERSITY. WHILE MAY. THE
OPTIONS ON. FALLING UPON THE
STUDENT I UNDERSTAND I
UNDERSTAND YOUR POINT NOW AND
IT'S- IT'S A FAIR POINT. I'M NOT
I'M NOT CONCERNED ABOUT IT IN
TERMS OF THIS BILL I THINK THAT
THE- BIGGER ISSUE IS THAT. THE
CAMPUS YOU'RE GONNA SAY WITH SO
MANY MORE STUDENTS WANTED TO GET
ON THIS PATH AND GET OUT. WE'RE
GONNA BE MORE RESPONSIVE MAKING
SURE THEIR CLASSES ARE
AVAILABLE. THAT'S WERE PUSHING
THE BUREAUCRACY. AND THE
DIRECTION THAT THEY'RE NOT
ALWAYS COMFORTABLE WITH. MAKING
SURE CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE
BECAUSE I KNOW THAT. MY SENSE OF
BIKE EXPERIENCE IN MY
CONVERSATIONS WITH THE STUDENTS
AND THE DATA SHOWS. THE STUDENTS
ARE TAKING ALMOST ENOUGH UNITS
TO GET THROUGH. AND IT'S BEEN A
ESTABLISHED SEVERE ROCKER SEE
THAT THE CLASSES ARE AVAILABLE
THE CLASSES THAT THEY NEED. THE
PREREQUISITES. THAT THIS THAT
BARACK RECEIVE THAT IS BINS IT
PUT IN THE WAY OF STUDENTS
ACTUALLY GETTING OUT GETTING
THEIR DEGREE. I RATHER THAN GET
AND NO DEGREE AND DEBT. THE
THIS- THIS IS THIS THIS IS
PUSHING THEM TO DO BETTER AND TO
DO MORE. AND IT'S FOCUSED ON
UNDERREPRESENTED BECAUSE THAT'S
WHERE THE GAP REMAINS EVEN
THOUGH THEY HAVE MADE GREAT
PROGRESS IN THE OVERALL
GRADUATION. GOALS IT SAID IT
FORTY PERCENT. BY TWENTY TWENTY
FIVE I THINK THAT IS TOO LOW
NOW. THIS AT THIS YOU SEE IT'S
OVER 70% FOR YOUR GRADUATION.
AND I BELIEVE OUR STUDENTS AT
THE CSU. MUCH CLOSER TO THAT AS
A GOAL I WANT TO SEE THE SYSTEM
KEEP MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION.
THANK YOU SENATOR. THIRTY
SATURDAY- I WANNA COMMEND YOU ON
THE WORK YOU'VE DONE OVER THE
PAST SEVERAL YEARS NOT ON THIS
PROJECT AND UNDERSTOOD TO GENTLY
AS YOU SAID TO GENTLY NUDGES
SYSTEM. ALL RIGHT TO DO BETTER
AND I THINK WE SEE RESULTS SO
YEAH I I'M GLAD TO SUPPORT FOR
LIFE TOO QUICK TWO QUICK
QUESTIONS. YOU WANT TO USE IT
YOU KNOW GIVEN THAT THE UNDER
THE CURRENT SYSTEM CALIFORNIA
FROM STUDENTS RECEIVE PRIOR TO
REGISTRATION. IF YOU INCREASE
THAT NUMBER BY A LARGE AMOUNT.
HOW WILL PRIORITY THEN BE
DETERMINED. THAT WE HAVE SO MANY
ASSEMBLY ADDITIONAL STUDENTS
THAT WOULD RECEIVE THE SAME
BENEFITS THAT I LEAVE IT AT THE
CAMPUS IS THEY SET PRIORITIES
ALL THE TIME ON REGISTRATION.
SOME THAT WE LIKE AND SOME WE
DON'T LIKE- BUT THAT'S A LOCAL
CHOICE THEY CAN MAKE IT IN TERMS
OF HOW THEY IMPLEMENTED. IT AND
THEN THERE'S SORT OF A CHORLEY
CONCERN THAT THAT THAT. YOU KNOW
THIS BILL MIGHT. RESULT THE
REDIRECTION OF ADVISING. OR
OTHER SUPPORT SERVICES AWAY FROM
STUDENTS WHO ARE ENROLLED AS YOU
GET MUCH LARGER NUMBERS. AND I
DO EXPECT YOUR ANSWER IS THE
SAME. IF YOU CREATE POSITIVE
SYNERGY CREATED WITH THEIR BASIS
FOR THESE. EFFORT MEASURES TO
FIGURE OUT THESE QUESTIONS. WELL
AT THAT AND ALSO- LOOK I'D LIKE
TO SEE MORE RESOURCES GO TO THE
SYSTEM. FOR THESE ACTIVITIES-
YOU KNOW WE'VE WE'VE PROVIDED
SOME ADDITIONAL FUNDING- IN
LIGHT OF THEIR GRADUATION TWENTY
TWENTY FIVE INITIATIVE THAT I'VE
BEEN. BIG SUPPORTERS THAT I'D
LIKE US TO DO MORE. THAT WE
DON'T RUN INTO THE PROBLEM THAT
YOU'RE KIND OF IDENTIFYING.
SYSTEM SEES IT AS A ZERO SUM
GAME IF YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO.
SUPPORT THIS PROMISE PROGRAMMER
NOW THIS PHOENICIAN FOR PROGRAM
MORE. IT'S GOING TO TAKE IT AWAY
FROM OTHER THINGS THEY LIKE TO
FIND. I APPRECIATE THAT I'D LIKE
THIS IS YES THE ENLARGE THE PIE-
BUT I APPRECIATE THAT THERE WILL
BE SOME CHOICES THAT THEY MAKE.
I THINK THIS IS A OF A PROVEN
SUCCESSFUL PROGRAM. AND I'D LIKE
TO SEE THEM TO DO IT MORE. YOU
SHOULD THAT'S OKAY SO. WITH THAT
THIS THE MOVES FROM- IF IT GETS
SUPPORT TO APPROPRIATE. MOVE THE
BILL. GOT A THEY'VE GOT A MO.

THANK YOU GOOD MORNING CHAIR
MEMBERS I'M HERE TODAY PRESENT
AS SIX THREE BUT I WILL START BY
ACCEPTING THE WRECK I'M TO IN
THREE OF THE NL- ASK SIX THIRTY
THREE AUTHORIZES A PARTICIPATING
UC. OR CSU CAMPUS TOWARD DREAM
GRANTS TO GRANT ELIGIBLE
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS IF THE
INSTITUTION HAS FUNDS THAT HAVE
NOT BEEN AWARDED IN THEIR
EXISTING DREAM LOANS REVOLVING
FUND FOR CALIFORNIA HAS TAKEN
SIGNIFICANT STEPS TO PROVIDE
ACCESS TO FINANCIAL AID WHICH IS
CREATING THE GE A CALIFORNIA
DREAM LOAN PROGRAM STUDENTS
WITHOUT WORK AUTHORIZATION STILL
FACE A SHORTFALL AND ARE
DISCOURAGED FROM TAKING
ADVANTAGE OF LOAN PROGRAMS. WITH
SB SIX THIRTY THREE THE STATE
HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO EXPLAIN
THE G. THE DREAM LOAN PROGRAM BY
PROVIDING PUBLIC HIGHER IN
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS WITH THE
ABILITY TO REPURPOSE AN UNUSED
FUNDS TO PROVIDE FINANCIAL GRANT
ASSISTANCE UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS
WITH AN UNMATCHED MEET. UP BEING
ABLE TO PAY FOR COLLEGE
CONTINUES TO BE A CHALLENGE FOR
MANY STUDENTS AS WE KNOW BUT FOR
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS IT'S EVEN
AND HIGHER BARRIER OF COLLEGE AS
COLLEGE REMAINS UNAFFORDABLE.
ADRIN GRANT WILL HELP OFFSET THE
COST OF ATTENDANCE FOR UC AND
CSU UNDERGRADUATES. I'M PROVIDE
SUBSIDIES FOR STUDENTS TO
GRADUATE. TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT
OF THIS MEASURE TODAY I HAVE
SHOWN BREAK EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF STUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICES AT
THE UC OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.
AND TYLER AGUILAR LEGISLATIVE
DIRECTOR FOR STATE GOVERNMENT
RELATIONS AT UC OFFICE OF THE
PRESIDENT AS WELL. I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
ON SB SIX THIRTY THREE. THANK
YOU I'VE BEEN TO BOTH THE WOODS
PLEASE PLEASE. PROCEED
JOURNEYMEN CENTER. AND MEMBERS
OF THE SENATE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE THANK YOU FOR THE- TO
SHARE. ENTHUSIASTIC SUPPORT FOR
SENATE BILL THIRTY THREE THE
DREAM GRANT BILL. MY NAME IS
BREAKING I'M EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOR STERN FINANCIAL SUPPORT AT
THE UC OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT.
YOU SEE IS PASSIONATE ABOUT IT
SUPPORT FOR UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS WE SPONSORED THE
ORIGINAL DREAM LOAN BILL NEARLY
A DECADE AGO AND- THIS ONE
TODAY. THE DREAM LOAN PROVIDES
EQUITY FOR OUR AB FIVE FORTY
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS BY GIVING
THEM ACCESS TO THE SAME TYPE OF
LOANS. AVAILABLE TO THEIR PEERS
THROUGH THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT.
HOWEVER EACH YEAR WE ADD MORE
TOWARD DREAM LOAN FUND THROUGH
OUR STATE BUDGET. THROUGH OUR
UNIVERSITY MATCHING FUNDS AND
THROUGH REPAYMENTS FROM FORMER
STUDENTS. AND TO DATE THE DEMAND
FOR FROM STUDENTS FOR THE DREAM
LOANS. HAS NEVER KEPT PACE WITH
THE AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL FUNDING
THAT WE ASK EACH YEAR. THIS
MEANS THAT EVERY YEAR DREAMLAND
FUNDS SIT IDLE RATHER THAN
OPENING DOORS FOR OUR STUDENTS.
SENATE BILL SIX THIRTY THREE
WOULD PROVIDE US THE FLEXIBILITY
TO MAKE GRANT AWARDS OUT OF
THESE IDLE FUNDS. DO NOT
UNDERCUT THE DREAM LOAN PROGRAM
WE WOULD MAKE THE DREAM GRANT
AWARDS. TO STUDENTS INDEPENDENT
OF WHETHER OR NOT THEY CHOSE TO
TAKE OUT A LOAN. INSTEAD THE
UNIVERSITY WOULD AWARD DREAM
GRANTS TO QUALIFYING STUDENTS.
IF DREAMERS AS A WHOLE DID NOT
USE UP ALL OF THE LOAN FUNDS THE
YEAR BEFORE. WE WOULD THEN
PRIORITIZE AWARDING THESE GRANTS
TO LOW INCOME UNDERGRADUATE.
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS. AS
STUDENTS ACROSS CALIFORNIA NOW
STRIVE FOR DEBT FREE PATH TO DO
A DEGREE. WE WANT TO BE SURE
THAT THE SAME DREAM IS AVAILABLE
TO OUR UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS.
THIS IS A THIS IS CRITICAL SINCE
MOST OF THEM. ARE CURRENTLY-
UNABLE TO WORK BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE WORK AUTHORIZATION.
THE DREAM GRANT WILL BE ONE MORE
TOOL IN OUR TOOLBOX FOR HELPING
SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE
STUDENTS. YOU TO THE COMMITTEE
FOR CONSIDERATION AND THANK YOU
TO SENATOR GONZALEZ FOR HER
LEADERSHIP ON THIS BILL. THANK
YOU. THE NEXT A MISTRIAL YEAH

TYLER REGULAR ABOUT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA WE WANT

IN PERSON. ON BEHALF THE BILL
WELCOMES. HI GOOD AFTERNOON
NINETY WHITE CALIFORNIA STATE
UNIVERSITY AND WE WERE ABLE TO
GET A LETTER IN ON TIME BUT WE
ARE IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL THANK
YOU SO MUCH THANK YOU. NEXT
PLEASE. HI THAN A LITTLE THE U.
S. WITH STUDENT- SORTS OF. THANK
YOU MISTER USE. ANYWHERE ELSE
SEEING ANYBODY HERE LIKE TO SIGN
UP- TO THE MAY- NOT SEEING ANY
IN PERSON. LET'S MOVE TO THE
TELL. LINE IS BE ON THE- FUNDED
LIKE. TESTIFY IN. OPPOSITION WAS
FOR THE- WE NOTED MOMENT
MODERATE IF YOU DOUBLE CHECK.
THANK YOU AND TO OUR PROVIDE. IN
SUPPORT OF OPPOSITION. PLEASE
PRESS ONE THEN ZERO AT THIS TIME
. HEY WE HAVE NO COMMENT THANK
YOU AT THIS TIME. OKAY LET'S
COME BACK TO THE HEARING ROOM.
AT MEMBERS ANY QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS WITH RESPECT TO THE
BILL. I DO HAVE A COUPLE OF
QUESTIONS. ZURCHER ABOUT PLEASE
THANK YOU. SEVERAL FAMILIES. FOR
UNDERSTANDING FOR THE PUBLIC TO
UNDERSTAND. IN ORDER TO APPLY
FOR THE DREAM LOAN. THE DREAM
LOAN DO YOU HAVE TO BE
UNDOCUMENTED. YES TO BE OKAY SO
AND THIS PROGRAM WOULD. WOULD
MAKE AVAILABLE THE DREAM LOAN
PROGRAM IF WE DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
DREAM ARE UNDOCUMENTED APPLYING
FOR THE LOAN PROGRAM THEN THE
LEFTOVER FUNDS WERE GOING TO THE
GRANT IN THE- AND THEN. THE
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS COULD THEN
APPLY FOR THE GRANT. M. WHAT
COMPELLING REASON WITH ANY
STUDENT. HAVE TO APPLY FOR THE
LOAN WHEN IF THEY WAIT THEY
COULD ACTUALLY APPLY FOR THE
GRANT AND NOT HAVE TO REPAY IT.
AND THAT IS CORRECT AND IT'S AT
THE DISCRETION OF THE UC NCS USE
BUT- I THINK WE DON'T WANT THEM
TO COMPETE I MEAN YOU CAN- APPLY
FOR THE LOAN AND THEN ALSO
RECEIVE A GRANT AFTERWARDS THE
YEAR AFTER- SO YOU COULD RECEIVE
BOTH- BUT I DON'T KNOW FASHION-
ANY OF MY WITNESSES WOULD LIKE
TO. ADD ON TO THAT AS WELL SURE
YES THE- WAY WITH THAT WE
ENVISION IT WOULD BE THAT THE
STUDENT WOULD RECEIVE A GRANT AS
A RESULT OF BEING LOW INCOME AND
IN NEED. AND WITHOUT REGARD TO
WHETHER OR NOT THEY CHOSE TO
TAKE OUT A LOAN IN THE CURRENT
YEAR OR IN THE PRIOR YEAR SO
YOUR CHECK YOUR DECISION TO TAKE
OUT A LOAN. DOESN'T AFFECT YOUR
ABILITY TO RECEIVE THE GRANT- IF
THERE'S ADDITIONAL MONEY LEFT
OVER. IT AND I UNDERSTAND THAT
I'M JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND-
OUR TRADE I GET I GUESS CLARIFY.
WHY WOULD ANY STUDENT. WE
COMPELLED TO APPLY FOR A LOAN.
WHEN IF YOU WAIT. M. YOU'LL BE
ABLE TO GET A GRANT WHICH YOU
DON'T HAVE TO PAY. BACK SO WHAT
I'M SAYING IS THAT YOU'RE
BASICALLY REALLY YES- UNLESS YOU
YOU DO WHAT YOU JUST STATED THAT
YOU CAN APPLY FOR BOTH. AND
YOU'RE BASICALLY GOING TO BE. A
MAKING THE LOAN PROGRAM OBSOLETE
BECAUSE IF A STUDENT HAS AN
OPTION BETWEEN A LOAN AND A
GRANT. THERE'S NO REASON FOR
THEM TO APPLY FOR A LOAN INDIAN
DAD- UM AS YOU WOULD RATHER YOU
KNOW IF THEY HAVE ANY
UNDERSTANDING WOULD PREFER TO DO
A GRANT AND NOT HAVE TO PAY IT
BACK. SO BASICALLY WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING IS YOU WANT TO KIND OF I
MEAN IF YOU DON'T. PUT SOMETHING
INSPIRATION IN THERE UNLESS YOU
MAKE IT SO YOU CAN APPLY FOR
BOTH THERE'S REALLY NOT NO
REASON FOR ANY STUDENT. TO GET
INTO A LOAN AND BEING THAT. THEN
RATHER HAVE A GRANT SO MAKING
IRRELEVANT A LOAN PROGRAM AND
JUST RE DEDICATING IT FROM A
DIFFERENT ANGLE. AT THE FUNDING
SO THEY BECOMES A WHOLE GRANT
PROGRAMS. ENTIRELY IS THAT MAKES
SENSE. IT DOES MAKE SENSE I
THINK THE- FOR UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS THEIR NEEDS ARE SO
GREAT THAT THEY MADE NEED BOTH A
LOAN AND A GRANT- AND SO- WE
DON'T WANT TO UNDERCUT THE LOAN
PROGRAM- BECAUSE THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT CAN BE USEFUL TO
THOSE STUDENTS. TO ANY GIVEN
YEAR WE WOULDN'T SAY TO A
STUDENT DO YOU WANT TO LOAN YOU
SAID NO OKAY HERE'S A GRANT. IT
WOULD JUST BE THAT THE GRANTS
WOULD BE MADE AVAILABLE IN THE
SUBSEQUENT YEAR IF THERE'S MONEY
THAT STUDENTS DID NOT WANT TO
USE AS A AS A WHOLE. FROM THE
LOAN PROGRAM. HELLO ME ASSURE
YOU PERMITS A SERIES SHOWED
SENATOR BOWS THE ASK. YOU KNOW
DO YOU WANNA BE SURE NOT TO GROW
ON INTENT. INCENTIVES BUT BUT
MORE IMPORTANTLY IT'S FROM YEAR
TO YEAR RIGHT AND SO E. YOU KNOW
A SUPER WOULD HAVE TO WAIT A
YEAR IF THE GUY CAME THE SYSTEM
EFFECTIVELY RIGHT RIGHT AND WE
WOULDN'T. ENVISION MAKING
STUDENTS APPLY FOR THE GRANT SO
AS IF WE WOULD OFFER THE LOAN TO
WE WOULD OFFER LOANS TO ALL THE
STUDENTS WHO ARE ELIGIBLE. AND
THEN IN THE SEARCH AND THEN WE
WOULD ALSO PROVIDE GRANTS
WITHOUT ASKING THEM TO APPLIERS
SEVEN AND A AND THE SUPPLEMENTAL
APPLICATION- SO WE WOULD JUST.
IT WOULD JUST BE ADDITIONAL ARE
GIFTED THAT MONEY THAT WOULD BE
AVAILABLE TO ARE UNDOCUMENTED
EIGHT AND AGAIN TO SORT OF
CLARIFY. THE YOU KNOW THAT IT'S
IT IS- AN UNINTENTIONAL OUTCOME
THAT THERE'S EXCESS MONIES
AVAILABLE RIGHT TO THE EXTENT
THERE ARE YOU ON MAKE SURE THAT
THEY'RE PROBABLY. USE FOR THE
FOLKS FOR WHOM THEY WERE
INTENDED. BUT IT'S UNLIKELY THAT
PEOPLE GONNA YOU KNOW SHOULD.
BANK ON THE FACT THAT THERE
WON'T BE ENOUGH. APPLICANTS YOU
KNOW ON THE PROSPECT OF SUCH
GOING TO GETTING A GREAT
STUDENTS NEED MONEY IN THE YEAR
THAT THEIR OWN ROLE THEY'RE NOT
GOING TO TRY TO GAME THE SYSTEM
FOR NEXT YEAR. I TO GET A GRANT
. IT MAKES SENSE WEIGHT BUT
STILL WITHIN YEAR THEY COULD
SEE. CHOOSE TO DO A LOT. OR
GRANT. IF YOU DON'T ARM. COME A
STUDENT TO TAKE OUT A LOAN. AND
THE- QUALIFY FOR A GRANT. IF
THERE WERE ANY GRANT FUNDS WE
WOULD BE OFFERING THAT OUT AND
THEM TO THE STUDENTS UP FRONT-
AND SO. THEY WOULD BE PRESENTED.
WITH A THOUSAND DOLLARS EXTRA
AND GRANT FOR EXAMPLE BECAUSE-
SO YOU YOU KNOW IT'S IT SHOULD
BE CLEAR IT'S EXTRA TOP OF THE
LOAN THEY'VE ALREADY. TAKEN OUT
OR JUST. IT'S JUST THE GRANT
ABSENT ANY OTHER. DISSIPATION SO
FOR EXAMPLE IF WE ENDED THIS
SCHOOL YEAR AND I CAMPUS HAD
FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS LEFT IN
THE LOAN FUND THAT THEY- THAT
STUDENTS DID. NOT CHOOSE TAKE
OUT. THEN THEY WOULD HAVE. THEY
COULD IF THEY HAD AND YOU KNOW-
A HUNDRED STUDENTS WHO QUALIFY.
THEY WERE COULD OFFER A FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLAR SCHOLARSHIP IN
THE SUBSEQUENT YEAR. TO ALL OF
THOSE NEEDY STUDENTS IN. THE
SUBSEQUENT YEARS THAT. NOPE WHAT
I'M SAYING IS THAT IF YOU
LEFTOVER MONEY. NOW TODAY YEAH.
AND AS YOU COMES. IF THEY THEY
COULD QUOTE THEY COULD THEY HAVE
THE OPTION. TO EITHER UP. TODAY
YOU HAVE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS
. THEY HAVE THE OPTION TO EITHER
GET. THAT THROUGH THE LOAN
PROGRAM THE DREAM LOAN PROGRAM.
OR THEY HAVE AN OPTION TO DO THE
GRANT PROGRAM. SO WHAT WOULD BE
THE COMPELLING REASON THAT A
THAT A STUDENT WOULD ACTUALLY
APPLY FOR THE LOAN PROGRAM. AND
NOT JUST GO FOR THE GRANT
PROGRAM. AT BECAUSE YOU HAVE TO
DATE FIFTY THOUSAND DOLLARS IN
WHY WOULD A SITTING GOING TO
DEBT SO WHAT I'M SAYING IS THAT
IF YOU FOLLOW THAT FORMULA
MOVING FORWARD RIGHT NOW BECAUSE
YOU DO HAVE ACCESS. IN THE
ACCOUNT WHEN YOU AREN'T LIT YOU
ARE. IT ESSENTIALLY WHETHER
INTENT AND UNINTENTIONALLY OR
INTENTIONALLY YOU ARE COOPER
GOING THE LOAN PROGRAM BECAUSE
NOBODY'S GOING TO CHOOSE A LOAN
WHEN YOU CAN ACTUALLY APPLY FOR
THE GRANT SENATOR. IF I MAY ADD
I THINK ALSO IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE I THINK THAT LOAN PROGRAM
PROVIDES UP TO WHAT FOUR
THOUSAND DOLLARS. NOT A LOT OF
MONEY IN THE LOAN PROGRAM IN THE
SCHEME OF THINGS IN TERMS OF IF
YOU'RE GOING TO A CSU OR USC FOR
BOOKS AND TUITION. SO YOU COULD
ON TOP OF THE FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS WITH THIS IS I THINK
WHERE THERE'S NOT A LACK OF
CLARITY RESEARCH SO THAT THE
GRANT WOULD GO TO THE RECIPIENTS
TO PREVIOUS RECIPIENTS A LOAN IT
TO AUGMENT. THE SUPPORT THEY'VE
GOTTEN CORRECT YES THEY CAN
OKAY. BUT THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S
THAT INTO CENTER CHOICE BUT
QUESTION RIGHT SO IT'S
SOMEBODY'S NOT MAKING A
DELIBERATE CHOICE SHOULD I TAKE
IT ALONE SHE IT CAN I GET A
GRANT. THE GRANT THE ACCESS
REMAINDER WOULD THEN BE
ALLOCATED DISPERSED TO LOAN
RECIPIENTS. TO AUGMENT THE
SUPPORT THEY RECEIVE IS THAT IS
THAT CORRECT IF THAT MAKES SENSE
YOU HAVE TO GO HAVE A LOAN
FIRST. AND THEN GET THE GRANT
THAT'S PERFECT COUNTY IT'S
EITHER OR SINCE. SHE'S RAISE A
GOOD POINT. SO THAT'S THAT'S THE
POINT YOU ARE GOING TO LET YOUR
LITERALLY. YOU'RE YOU'RE
REALLOCATING THE FINDING. BUT
IT'S BIG BUT THOSE AGREEMENTS
AGAIN I'M STARTING UP THERE CAN
BE SMALL. RIGHT AND THERE IS NO
WAY TO KNOW. GOING TO SAY. I'M
GONNA FOREGO THE MONEY I NEED TO
GO TO COLLEGE. FOR A FIVE DOLLAR
SCHOLARSHIP AND AS MENTIONED YOU
NEED THEN THE MONEY NOW. STILL
YOU STILL HAVE TO MONEY. THE
RECIBIR CLIMATE ANYWAY RIGHT SO.
THAT'S THAT'S IRRELEVANT THAT
THAT THAT THAT THE PEOPLE WERE
TRYING BUT CENTER. PEOPLE TO
COLLUDED SAY LIKE HEY NONE OF US
IS GOING TO GO AND APPLY FOR THE
LOAN. SO THERE'S ENOUGH MONEY
LEFT FOR IT ALL THE TIME THERE'S
A THAT INTENTION AND CSU OR UC
RESIDENT. NO NOT THAT STUDENTS
TRYING TO GET. ALERTS FROM YEAH
THAT'S NOT A LONER AT THE. POINT
IS THAT. WE ARE GOING TO GET RID
OF THE LOW. THAT PROGRAM BE THIS
YOU. WHY WHY WOULD THIS. IF THE
HOW TO OPPORTUNITY GRANT. THIS
YEAH THIS. ARE YOU MAXING. I ARE
YOU. A MAN OR K. ON THE- MMHM
NOW. THE SEVENTY JUST TO BE
CLEAR THE STUDENT ISN'T BEING
PRESENTED WITH A CHOICE. IN
THEIR CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR. IN
THE CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR YOU
WOULD. LIKE IN THE BASE YEAR
BEFORE THIS WENT INTO EFFECT.
YOU WE WANT YOU MAY HAVE BEEN
OFFERED A LOAN OF FOUR THOUSAND
DOLLARS MAXIMUM. AND USE A SPOON
WOULD EITHER MAKE THE CHOICE TO
TAKE THAT LOAN OUT OR NOT. IN
THE CURRENT ACADEMIC YEAR. IF
THERE WAS AN ATTACK AND- THEN IN
THE NEXT YEAR. WE WOULD GIVE A
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS A FIVE
HUNDRED DOLLAR EXTRACELLULAR
SHIPPED TO ALL OF THE
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS WHO
QUALIFIED. REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
OR NOT THEY TOOK OUT THE LOAN
THEY WOULDN'T EVEN KNOW THAT
THAT'S- PART OF THAT
CALCULATION. THEY WOULD JUST BE
PRESENTED WITH AN ADDITIONAL
FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS IN GIFT
AID. AND THE OPPORTUNITY IN
THAT. IN THAT SECOND YEAR FOR A
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLAR LOAN. SO
THEY COULD ALL THEY WOULD ALSO
HAVE ACCESS TO OTHER RELIGIONS.
IT WOULD THERE EVER BE SHERRY
WITH THE GRANT AMOUNT EXCEEDS
THE LOAN AMOUNT. BECAUSE I THINK
THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GETTING AT BY
WAY OF THAT IS VERY UNLIKELY
YEAH. BUT IT'S NOT IT'S NOT
WITHIN THE PURVIEW OF THE SPELL.
OR IN YOUR POLICY THAT THEY
WOULD BE A MAX I'M JUST THINKING
OF. M. THE RESPONSIBILITY YOU
KNOW I JUST DON'T THINK. I
UNLESS YOU'RE MAKING THE LOAN
FIRST A PRIORITY. AND THEN THINK
OF THE GRANT A SECOND AS AN
ADDITION TO THE TO THE LOAN.
THERE'S NO MOTIVATION OUR
INCENTIVE TO APPLY FOR THE LOAN
AND THEN YOU JUST GO FOR THE
GROUND AND SPECIALLY BE DON'T
HAVE A CAP ON THE GRANT. WHICH
MEANS YOU COULD GET A GRANT FOR
FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS AT THE
MONIES WERE AVAILABLE- ON THERE.
WHY WOULD ANY STUDENT APPLY FOR
A LOAN WHEN YOU COULD JUST.
APPLY FOR THE GRANT AGAIN THE
STUDENT WOULD NOT BE PRESENTED
IN THAT WITH A CHOICE BETWEEN A
LOAN AND A GRANT THEY WOULD JUST
BE RECEIVING. A FINANCIAL AID
OFFER THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE
LOAN OFFER. AND IF THERE HAD
BEEN MONEY LEFT OVER FROM THE
PRIOR YEAR. MORE GRAND THAN THEY
WOULD HAVE REALIZED- OTHERWISE.
SO WE ARE STILL PRIORITIZING THE
LOAN IN THE SENSE THAT WE ONLY
WOULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL GRANT
DOLLARS TO STUDENTS SO I THINK
THAT'S THE OPERATIVE ISSUE. IT'S
PART OF THE FINANCIAL AID
PROCESS. RIGHT RIGHT IT DID THAT
EVERYBODY EVERYBODY'S GOING TO
BE DREAMING SO IT'S NOT PEOPLE
SORT OF. A SELF SELECTING THE
RIGHT IT IT'S ALL OF THE
STUDENTS TO. PROSPECTIVELY
QUALIFY FOR IT THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH THE STANDARD PROCESS
THEY WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR A LOAN
ACCEPTED MIGHT BE ABLE TO
REGRET. BUT BUT TO YOUR POINT
WHERE YOU DON'T WANT IS STUDENTS
TO KIND OF GAIN THE SYSTEM. AND
APPLY FOR ONE THING AND NOT THE
OTHER PARTIES TO THIS THEY'RE
GOING TO BE GOING THROUGH THE
FINANCIALLY PROCESS IN ANY EVENT
IS THAT CORRECT. YES YEAH. YES
NO STUDENT WOULD BE PRESENT WITH
A CHOICE YOU WANT THIS LOAN OR
WOULD YOU RATHER WE GIVE YOU A
GRANT RIGHT NOW. OVERALL I JUST
THINK YOU KNOW DOLING THIS THIS
MONEY IS GOING ON USED
REGARDLESS OF WHAT WE DO SO TO
BE ABLE TO GIVE THEM THE
AUTHORITY TO. SORT OF FORMULATED
A NEW FLEXIBLE GRANT PROGRAM TO
JUST PULL THIS MONEY OUT FOR. I
THINK STUDENTS THAT NEED IT THE
MOST THAT ARE UNDOCUMENTED IS. A
PLUS FOR ME REGARDLESS OF HOW
IT'S DONE AND I UNDERSTAND YOUR
QUESTION BECAUSE IT WOULD KIND
OF. ALLUDE TO WEALTH IS DOES
THIS DIMINISH DIMINISH AND PHASE
OUT THE LOAN PROGRAM- I DON'T
KNOW I DON'T THINK IT WILL I
THINK STUDENTS ARE STILL TAKING
OUT LOANS TO BE ABLE TO FULFILL
THEIR OBLIGATIONS. IN THAT
SCHOOL YEAR- I DID IT YOU KNOW
WHEN I WAS. GOING TO GRADUATE
SCHOOL I TOOK A LOAN OUT THE
NEXT YEAR I WAS ABLE TO GET A
GRANT- YOU WE DO IT- SO I THINK.
AUTHORIZES USE TNCS TO DO THAT
IS GREAT. I'M SORRY THE FIRST IS
THAT YOU'RE APPLY YOU CAN GET.
YOUR FLY YOU OFFER A GRANT AT A
LOAN AND A GRANT. YES THE FIRST
YEAR. SO THERE YOU HAVE. BUT
AGAIN THAT THAT GRANT WOULD
NEVER BE SO SUBSTANTIAL THAT
WOULD OFFSET ALL. ALL OF THE
THINGS YOU HAVE TO DO TO AFFORD
YOUR EDUCATION RIGHT IT'S- IT'S
YOU KNOW IT'S- RIGHT CAP. OKAY
BUT I MADE IT VERY UNLIKELY
SARAH GONZALEZ THAT THERE'S
GONNA BE A HUGE YOU KNOW
REMAINDER. THAT SO BIG THAT
PEOPLE ARE AFFECTING TO GET. IN
A WIN THE LOTTO AND GET MORE
MONEY THAN THEY NEED FOR THEIR
EDUCATION THIS IS UNUSED. UNUSED
DOLLARS WE JUST NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE GIVING THE
FLEXIBILITY TO THE UC'S NCS USED
TO PROVIDE THIS TO. STUDENTS
THAT NEED IT THE MONDAY AND IT'S
SO I'M TOLD TO IN AGAIN TO MY
QUESTION ABOUT. THE FINANCIALLY
PROCESS. THAT THE CAP IS THAT IT
CAN EXCEED THEIR FINANCIAL NEED.
CORRECT REGNUM YEP THAT'S
CORRECT THEY HAVE RAISED ME A
CERTAIN. CRITERIA RIGHT BUT AND
THEY HAVE TO MEET THE RECIPIENT.
QUALIFICATION WRITERS WELL. OKAY
ALL RIGHT SO. I GUESS I GUESS
WHERE WE ARE IS APPRECIATE YOUR
CONCERNS- ANY OTHER QUESTIONS
SEARCH OF LOCUSTS AT THE END OF
THE DAY. WHERE THE INFO FOR IN
OCTOBER. THE PLEASE ANYTHING
ELSE I AM. HAPPY THEN. MEET HIM
THERE TOMORROW TO BUT BY IT'S
SIMPLY I THINK VERY GOOD. TRIED
TO ANSWER THE QUESTION I FOR.
THAT YOU WILL BE. YOUR READ.
YOUR CREATING A SYSTEM
UNINTENDED WHITE AND
INTENTIONALLY. THAT WILL
EVENTUALLY PHASE OUT. THE LOAN
PROGRAM AND IT'S GOING TO BE
SORE SORELY. A GRANT PROGRAM
WHICH I'M NOT SURE WHY WE
INITIALLY. MADE I DON'T KNOW THE
HISTORY BEHIND WHY WE NEEDED A
LOAN PROGRAM BUT OBVIOUSLY HAD
A- LEVEL OF RESPONSIBILITY TO
HAVE- INVESTMENT. ON THE STUDENT
PAYING IT BACK. AND ESPECIALLY
IF WE. ARE TALKING ABOUT. AB
THIS COULD BE A YOU KNOW
INTERPRETER IN MANY. WAYS ON ON
SO MANY LEVELS. AND I'M AN
ADVOCATE FOR. FURTHERING
EDUCATION FOR EVERYONE WHO LIVES
IN OUR COUNTRY. I'M UNDOCUMENTED
OR DOCUMENTED. BUT FOUR IF
YOU'RE MAKING THE CASE FOR A LOT
OF PEOPLE THEY'RE GOING TO WANT
A LITTLE BIT OF INVESTMENT IN
MAKING SURE THAT YOU KNOW YOU
ARE PULLING A LOAN AND THAT
YOU'RE PAYING IT BACK. BUT IF
THE GOAL IS UNINTENTIONALLY OR
INTENTIONALLY TO REALLOCATE
THOSE FINDINGS THERE'S NO REASON
WHY STUDENTS WOULD PREFER A LOAN
OVER A GRAND AND SO YOU'RE
EVENTUALLY GOING TO HAVE MORE
AND MORE MONEY LEFT OVER FOR THE
GRANT. FACING OUT THE LOAN
PROGRAM WHETHER OR NOT THAT'S
INTENTIONAL OR NOT I DON'T KNOW
ON THAT END BUT WHAT YOU'RE
SAYING IS EVENTUALLY IS YOU'RE
WORKING TOWARDS A- DEBT FREE NO
RESPONSIBILITY NO PERSONAL
INVESTMENT IN YOUR EDUCATION
BECAUSE YOU'RE MAKING IT A GRAND
YOU DON'T HAVE TO PAY IT BACK.
VERSES LIKE I WOULD DISAGREE
THERE'S PERSONAL INVESTMENT IN
GOING TO THE UC YEARS YES YOU
KNOW THE MONEY WISE I KNOW BUT.
AM TALKING ABOUT THE- I GET IT'S
THE IS THE BETTER IT'S THE BEST
A INTEREST IN IN SAYING OKAY
I'VE GOT A GAME INTO THIS. SO
THAT'S THAT'S THE THING YOUR
THIS IS CREATING A SYSTEM I'M
GONNA SUPPORTED. BUT I JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE IT
FOR THE RECORD THAT YOU'RE GOING
TO BE PHASING OUT. ALONE BECAUSE
NO ARE NOT PHASING OUT THE LOAN
FROM NOT NOT. NOT INTENTIONALLY
KNOW NOTHING ELSE BUT I JUST
WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT'S NOT THE
INTENTION THE INTENTION IS TO.
ENSURE THAT WE'RE GIVING UNUSED
DOLLARS FROM THE DREAM LOAN
PROGRAM. TO AUTHORIZED SHOULD
THEY SEE FIT THE UC'S MCS USE IT
AND HAVE TO BE FOR EVERY SEASON.
YES YOU SHOULD THEY SEE FIT. TO
USE UTILIZES UNUSED UP LIKE A
DOLLARS TOWARDS A GRANT PROGRAM
TO HELP. UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS I
JUST. VERY CLEAR WHAT WE'RE
DOING HERE. I COMPLETELY
UNDERSTAND THAT GREAT. THANK YOU
ANY OTHER COMMENTS OR QUESTIONS
GIVE IN ORDER BUT SENATOR BUT I
DO NEED TO GET I WAS NOT GIVING
ALTERNATIVE. I THINK WE HAD
