EVEN HAVE DIED FROM CANCER. I
WOULD HAVE DONE JUST ABOUT
ANYTHING. TO KEEP THAT FROM
HAPPENING TO MY LOVED ONES. YOU
THINK THIS WILL GET EASIER AS
THEY DO THIS BILL OF THOUGHT
THAT MUCH EASIER. HPV CAUSES A
RANGE OF CANCERS IN BOTH MEN AND
WOMEN AND TESTING EXAMINATIONS
REAL REVEALED JUST A FEW. OTHERS
REMAIN UNDETECTED UNTIL THEY
BECOME A THREAT TO A PERSON'S
LIFE. EVEN AS AMENDED IN THE
SENATE HEALTH COMMITTEE SB SIX
FIFTY NINE WILL INCREASE UPTAKE
OF THE CANCER PREVENTING HPV
VACCINE. BY GUARANTEEING THAT
THE VACCINE IS COMPLETELY
COVERED BY ALL PUBLIC AND
PRIVATE HEALTH PLANS. THIS BILL
WILL NOW RECOMMEND THAT EIGHTH
GRADERS THE FULLY VACCINATED
AGAINST HPV. AS WELL AS
RECOMMEND THAT STUDENTS ENTERING
UC'S. CS USING CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES ALSO BE
VACCINATED AGAINST HPV AS WELL.
PARENTS OF SOON TO BE HIGH
SCHOOL STUDENTS WILL BE NOTIFIED
AT THE BEGINNING OF SIXTH GRADE.
OF THE HPV VACCINATION
RECOMMENDATION GIVING THEM AMPLE
TIME TO LEARN ABOUT THE VACCINE
AND ITS BENEFITS. THE
NOTIFICATION WILL BE DONE IN THE
METHOD ALREADY CHOSEN BY LOCAL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO COMMUNICATE
TO STUDENTS AND PARENTS. AND IN
THE STATISTICALLY PREVALENT
LANGUAGES OF THE POSSIBLE
POPULATION. SB SIX FIFTY NINE.
HAS BEEN AMENDED IN THE ASSEMBLY
TO REMOVE ANY ENFORCEMENT BY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND HIGHER
EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS. SO NO
STUDENT WILL BE BARRED FROM
SCHOOL COLLEGES OR UNIVERSITIES
. WE HAVE ALSO TAKEN A MEMBERS
REQUIRED BY THE SENATE COMMITTEE
ON HEALTH THE CHANGE THIS BILL
FROM A VACCINATION EXPECTATION.
TO A VACCINATION RECOMMENDATION
. AND I WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH STAKEHOLDERS AND THE
COMMITTEES TO INCREASE CLARITY
REGARDING NOTIFICATIONS TO
PARENTS AND STUDENTS ENTERING
COLLEGE TO ENSURE ACCURATE
INFORMATION IS DISTRIBUTED.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MY GOAL IS TO
HAVE EVERY ELIGIBLE CHILD
VACCINATED AGAINST THIS LIFE
THREATENING VIRUS RECOMMENDING
THE STUDENTS RECEIVE THE SAFE.

INSTEAD OF MANDATING VACCINATION
WITH ME TODAY TO SPEAK IN

PROFESSOR OF PUBLIC HEALTH FROM
THE U. S. C. GEX SCHOOL OF
MEDICINE IN. TAYLOR JACKSON
DEPUTY DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENTAL
AFFAIRS AT THE CALIFORNIA HEALTH
PLUS ADVOCATES THANK YOU. THANK
YOU FIRST WITNESS DR CLOSER
WELCOME. THANK YOU VERY MUCH I'M
A PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE
INFECTIOUS DISEASES POPULATION
AND PUBLIC HEALTH SCIENCES THE
UNIVERSITY OF SOUTHERN
CALIFORNIA I'M A FORMER MEDICAL.
OFFICER FOR THE CDC AND FORMER
TWELVE YEAR DEPUTY HEALTH
OFFICER FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY
OF SAN FRANCISCO I'M TESTIFYING
TODAY AS AN INDIVIDUAL DO NOT
REPRESENT ANY PRIOR CURRENT
AFFILIATIONS. TODAY IN
CALIFORNIA ONLY 50% OF
ADOLESCENTS HAVE COMPLETED HPV
CANCER VACCINATION LEAVING ABOUT
HALF A CALIFORNIANS WITHOUT
PROTECTION AGAINST PREVENTABLE
CANCERS. MY OWN PUBLISHED
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT THE
CURRENT INADEQUATE VACCINATION
COVERAGE IN CALIFORNIA RESULTS
IN ABOUT THIRTEEN HUNDRED NEW
PREVENTABLE CANCERS EVERY YEAR.
ANNUAL COST OF FIFTY TWO MILLION
DOLLARS TO THE STATE EVERY DAY
TO CALIFORNIANS DIE FROM VACCINE
PREVENTABLE HPV RELATED CANCERS
ADDITIONALLY MY RESEARCH HAS
SHOWN THAT VACCINATION COVERAGE
IS NOT EQUITABLE IN CALIFORNIA.
IN SOME COUNTIES COMPLETION IS
AS LOW AS 10215% ONE OTHER
COUNTIES IT IS 60% OR MORE. HPV
CANCER VACCINE IS VERY SAFE IN
THE SEVENTEEN YEARS SINCE THE
FDA APPROVAL THE VACCINE SAFETY
CONCERNS HAVE NEVER BEEN
VALIDATED AND WELL DONE
SCIENTIFIC STUDIES. OPPONENTS TO
SB SIX FIVE NINE WILL STATE THAT
TWO POINT 3% OF VACCINE
RECIPIENTS WERE TWENTY THREE
HUNDRED PER HUNDRED THOUSAND
WILL HAVE A SERIOUS ADVERSE
EVENT. THAT IS MISINFORMATION
AND MISLEADING THE PACKAGE
INSURANCE THOSE THAT
300-541-5000 HAD REPORTED
SERVICE EVENT BUT ONLY FOR ONLY
FOUR WERE DETERMINED TO BE
VACCINE RELATED. PRIOR STUDIES
HAVE ALSO SHOWN THAT THE
FREQUENCY OF ADVERSE EVENTS IS
THE SAME IN THOSE WHO GOT THE
VACCINE VERSUS THOSE WHO GOT A
PLACEBO. THE H. P. V. CANCER
VACCINE IS HIGHLY EFFECTIVE IN A
RECENT STUDY IN SPANISH- THAT
VACCINATION REDUCED CANCERS BY
EIGHTY EIGHT PERCENT. IN
COUNTRIES LIKE A S. WERE HPV
VACCINE WERE. THEY EXPECT TO
LIMIT H. VACCINE RELATED CANCERS
IN TWENTY THIRTY FIVE. WE'VE
ALSO SHOWN THAT SCHOOL BASED-
REQUIREMENTS INCREASE
VACCINATION FROM 5280% I URGE
YOU ALL TO VOTE YES ON EIGHTY
SIX FIVE NINE TO HELP FOR BY
CALIFORNIA FAMILIES WITH THE
INFORMATION. THEY NEED THAT MAY
HELP PREVENT CANCER REDUCE
HEALTH DISPARITIES AND SAVE
LIVES THANK YOU VERY MUCH NICK

FQHCS AND RURAL HEALTH CENTERS
WHO STRONGLY SUPPORT AB SIX FIVE
NINE. AS THE PROFESSOR SAID
VACCINATION RATES IN
CALIFORNIA'S YOUNG PEOPLE ARE
CURRENTLY WELL BELOW THE
NATIONAL GOAL OF EIGHTY PERCENT.
MUCH OF THIS CAN BE ATTRIBUTED
TO HPVS CLASSIFICATION AS A
SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED INFECTION
WHICH IS UNNECESSARILY
STIGMATIZE THE VACCINE EVEN
THOUGH THE FDA APPROVED THE
VACCINE BACK IN TWO THOUSAND
SIX. AND THE CDC AND THE
AMERICAN ACADEMY OF PEDIATRICS
HAVE LONG RECOMMENDED THE
VACCINE FOR ALL GENDERS BY THE
AGE OF TWELVE. CALIFORNIA SHOULD
BE LEADING IN THIS FIGHT TO
PROTECT THE NEXT GENERATION FROM
PREVENTABLE ILLNESS AND DEATH.
CERVICAL CANCER IS THE FOURTH
MOST COMMON CANCER IN WOMEN
ACCORDING TO THE WORLD HEALTH
ORGANIZATION AN ESTIMATED FIVE
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND
PEOPLE WERE DIAGNOSED WITH
CERVICAL CANCER WORLDWIDE. AND
ABOUT THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
PEOPLE DIED FROM THE DISEASE IN
TWENTY EIGHTEEN ALONE. AND AS
THE AUTHOR SAID HPV IS KNOWN TO
CAUSE 90% OF CERVICAL CANCER
CASES. WITH THIS BILL COMMUNITY

MORNING OF ALL CHAIR. SENATOR
NEWMAN AND THE MEMBERS OF THE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF
CAPITA I'M HERE TO SHARE MY
CONCERNS. ABC FIVE NINE CANCER
PREVENTION ACT FROM THE
INTRODUCTION OF THE BILL WE HAVE
STATED OUR SUPPORT OF THE
SECTIONS PERTAINING TO INSURANCE
EXPANSION AND THE OVERALL
INTENSIFIED HPV CANCER. BUT
BECAUSE EACH PREVIOUS SEXUALLY
TRANSMITTED INFECTION AT AND IT
SURELY NOT SPREAD IN A CLASSROOM
SETTING. WE HAVE ASKED REMOVAL
OF THE SECTIONS PERTAINING TO
SCHOOL NOTIFICATION FOR HPV
VACCINATION. ESPECIALLY USING
SCHOOL POLICY TO ACHIEVE SUCH A
GOAL SINCE AGAIN HPV DOES NOT
SPREAD IN A SCHOOL SETTING. WE
GREATLY APPRECIATE THE BILL OUT
THERE LISTENING TO THE CONCERNS
OF THOSE IN OPPOSITION. AND WE
HOPE SHE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK
WITH US ON THE BILL LANGUAGE.
AND LOOKING AT THE BILL IN ITS
CURRENT FORM WE DO ADVISE
AGAINST GIVING THE NOTIFICATION
TO VACCINATE. DIRECTLY TO THE
PEOPLE BECAUSE ONE LAW SCHOOLS
DO NOT GIVEN ROMAN NOTIFICATIONS
DIRECTLY TO THE PEOPLE. BUT TO
THE PARENTS AND THE BILL STATES
THAT NOTIFICATIONS WILL BE GIVEN
THROUGH ENROLLMENT PROCESSES
ALREADY IN PLACE AT SCHOOL. TO
THE BILL STATES TO SUBMIT
NOTIFICATION TO PEOPLE'S
ENTERING SIXTH GRADE. BUT NOT
ALL CHILDREN. AT THAT AGE YOU
KNOW WHAT AN STI IS. A STATE
STANDARDS IN EDUCATION CODE FIVE
ONE NINE THREE FOUR STATE THAT
REQUIRED COMPREHENSIVE. SEXUAL
HEALTH EDUCATION AND HIV AND STD
PREVENTION EDUCATION HOW WE
TAUGHT IN SEVENTH GRADE.
CHILDREN ENTERING SIX GREAT HAVE
ONLY LEARNED ABOUT SEX IN TERMS
OF ANATOMY AND PUBERTY BUT HAVE
NOT YET HAD THE SEXUAL HEALTH
EDUCATION LESSONS. YOU KNOW WHAT
H. P. V. S. DOES OR WHY THEY
SHOULD BE RECOMMENDED TO RECEIVE
THE HPV VACCINE. SO THE VERY
BASICALLY STRIKE OUT IN SECTION
ONE TWO ZERO THREE THREE SIX BTC
AND THAT THE NOTIFICATION TO THE
PEOPLE. BECAUSE IF YOU THE
VACCINATION RECOMMENDATION
SHOULD BE. SPECIFIC CHILDREN WHO
ARE PARTICIPATING IN SEXUAL
BEHAVIOR. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR
VACCINATION IS BETTER OFF. IN A
DISCUSSION WITH THE DOCTOR.
THANK YOU HONORABLE SPEAKER PRO

HAVE A WE FULLY A- WITH THE-
SPEAKER. I REQUEST FROM AN ON
THE NIGHT. AND NOT HAVING IT
GIVE TO SIX. FOR EXACTLY THOSE
WE- THE ONLY OTHER. THAT WE HAVE
REQUESTED. A IS THAT IN THE
NOTIFICATION SECTION ONE TWO
ZERO THREE THREE SIX B. IT DOES
SAY IT IS NOW INCONGRUENT WITH
THE RECOMMENDATION LANGUAGE THAT
IS NOW IN THE STATE POLICY
WHICH- ASSEMBLY MEMBER
AGUIAR-CURRY TOOK IN THE- HEALTH
COMMITTEE. IT DOES SAY THAT THE
NOTIFICATION WOULD. SUMMARIZE
THAT A RECOMMENDATION BUT THEN
IT ALSO SAYS THAT IT WOULD
ADVISE. THAT THE PEOPLE BE FULLY
IMMUNIZED AGAINST HPV BEFORE
ADMISSION OR ADVANCEMENT EIGHTH
GRADE NOT INCONGRUENT WITH THE-
WITH THE RECOMMENDATION WEDDING
THAT IS NOW THE STATE POLICY.
AND SO WE WOULD ASK THAT EITHER
THE WHITE ADVISING GET ALSO
CHANGED TO RECOMMENDED OR THAT
IT STATE THAT ADVISING THAT THE
PEOPLE BE. AT THAT THERE IS A
RECOMMENDATION THAT THE PEOPLE
BE FULLY IMMUNIZED BECAUSE WE
FEEL THAT THERE WILL BE-
INCONSISTENCIES AND SCHOOLS WILL
NOT KNOW. AND PARENTS WILL NOT
UNDERSTAND THAT THAT IT IS A
RECOMMENDATION. THE OTHER PIECES
THAT WE WOULD ASK THAT IN THE
NOTIFICATION THAT- OUR PAP
SMEARS AND HPV SCREENING WHICH
ARE TWO OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE
PROVEN MEANS OF PREVENTING
CANCER. ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN
THAT- NOTIFICATIONS SO THAT THEY
UNDERSTAND THE FULL. ARRAY OF
OPTIONS OF ENSURING THAT THEY
DON'T GET HPV. THANK YOU VERY

SPEAKING TO THAT BRIEFLY. WELL
FIRST OF ALL IT'S A GOOD PLACE
FOR US TO BE ABLE TO KEEP. OF
BACKSEAT BACK RATES CALLED HELLO
ARE SUCH A LOW AND OUT
RECOMMENDING AND TO WILL BE AND
EFFORTS TO TOWARD SPREADING
AWARENESS IMPROVING OF THE
UPTAKE OF. SAFER CANCER PER.
FROM BACKS IT'S A REASON WILL
COME IN THIS BILL WE'VE COME TO
INSTEAD MANDATING VEXATION AFTER
HEARING CONCERNS FROM THE
SCHOOLS IN THE STATE OF THE MY
OF THE OPPONENTS RUN FORSMAN
ENROLLMENT OF SCHOOLS WE AMENDED
THE BILL TO ENSURE THE PARENTAL
NOTIFICATION THE VACCINATION THE

DONE IN PART OF EXISTING.
NOTIFICATIONS FROM SCHOOL
DISTRICTS REMOVED. ANY BURDEN ON
SCHOOLS. THE NOTIFICATIONS WILL
BE SUBJECT TO REQUIREMENTS THAT
ARE SENT TO IN THE STATISTICALLY
PREVALENT LANGUAGES OF THE
SCHOOL POPULATION. AND TO
PREVENT ANY CONFUSION THE
LANGUAGE BARRIER BUGBEARS. THE
BILL DOES NOT MANDATE THE HPV
VACCINE WHILE THE BILL SETS
REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS IN
HIGH SCHOOL AND HIGHER LOOK AT.
EDUCATIONAL LEVEL EDUCATIONS
INSTITUTIONS. WE WILL NOT. BE
ASKED TO CONFIRM THE
VACCINATION. AND WE DO THAT
BECAUSE WE LISTEN TO THE
FAMILIES THEY DIDN'T WANT. US TO
MANDATE ANYTHING. THIS IS THE
EASIEST WAY TO DO IT'S ALREADY
THAT STUDENTS CAN. GET MANY
VACCINATIONS WITHOUT PARENTAL.
APPROVAL AND- WE JUST TRY TO BE
COMPLY WITH WHAT'S ALREADY IN
EXISTENCE. RESHOOT THAT ENSURE
THAT YOU VERY BRIEFLY FOR DR
CLAWSON- THERE WAS SOME
DISCUSSION ON THE OTHER SIDE AS
WELL THAT VACCINE INJURIES. CAN
YOU VERY BRIEFLY WITH WITH
ESPECIALLY WITH SPECIFIC.
RESERVE EMPHASIS ON THIS
VACCINE- AND CANCER PREVENTION
FOR SYRACUSE CAN SERVE HAZARD IT
SPEAKING THE ISSUE OF VACCINE
INJURIES. RIGHT SO IN IN THE
ARRAY. STORY WHICH WAS GUARDED
FOUR VERSES PLACEBO IN THOSE
PLACEBO INCLUDED SALINE OR SALT
WATER. PLACEBOS THERE WERE NO
DIFFERENCES IN THE FREQUENCY OF
ANY REPORTED INJURIES SO THE
PEOPLE WHO GOT THE ACTIVE
VACCINATION PRODUCT FIRST THE
PEOPLE WHO GOT THE PLACEBO
PRODUCT HAD THE SAME. REPORTED
FREQUENCY OF ADVERSE EVENTS SO
THE SCIENTIFIC CRITERIA FOR
ASSOCIATION ARE DIFFERENT THAN
WHAT SOME PEOPLE SEE IN THE
COURTS OR THE LEGAL CRITERIA.
BUT SCIENTIFICALLY THERE IS
ABSOLUTELY NO ASSOCIATION WITH
INCREASED RISK OF VACCINE INJURY
FROM HPV VACCINATION THANK YOU.
APPRECIATE THAT. WE STILL DO NOT
HAVE A CORPSMAN TECH WITH FEWER
THAN. WITH WITH FEWER THAN WE
DID. AND I WANT TO SAY TO THE
CONCERNED PARTIES HERE AND IT'S
UNFORTUNATE RIGHT I DYED MY

THE VACCINE THIS BILL ENSURES
PROPER COMMUNICATION WITH

REGARDLESS OF HEALTH INSURANCE
STATUS. I'VE BEEN WORKING ON
THIS PROPOSAL FOR FIVE YEARS
DURING THAT TIME OVER TWO
HUNDRED THREE THOUSAND AMERICANS
HAVE DEVELOP HPV RELATED CANCER
AND MORE THAN THIRTY FIVE
THOUSAND HAVE DIED FROM THERE AS
A RESULT. WE WILL PREVENT LESS

CRITICAL FIRST STEP IN
PROTECTING OUR YOUNG PEOPLE THE
FUTURE. FROM THIS PREVENTABLE
DEADLY VIRUS. I WANT CALIFORNIA
DO ITS PART IN PROTECTING OUR
YOUTH FROM CANCER AND SPREADING

ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
EXISTING LAW ESTABLISHES A PILOT
PROGRAM ALLOWING LAUSD TO AWARD
TASK ORDER PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS
FOR THE REPAIR AND RENOVATION OF
SCHOOL BUILDINGS AND GROUNDS AB
FOUR THREE NINE EXTENDS THE
SUNSET OF THIS PROGRAM UNTIL
TWENTY THIRTY FOUR AND ALLOWS
LAUSD TO FIND TASK ORDER
PROCUREMENT CONTRACTS THE LOCAL
SCHOOL CONSTRUCTION BONDS AND
FEDERAL OR STATE FUNDS IN ITS
POSSESSION IN ADDITION TO THE
DISTRICT'S. GENERAL FUND TASK
ORDER CONTRACTING ALLOWS A
DISTRICT TO BUNDLE MULTIPLE
SMALL CONTRACTS INTO A SINGLE
MASTER CONTRACT IN ADVANCE AND
ENSURES THAT ALLEY WAS THE AS
PREPARED FOR REPAIR AND
MAINTENANCE REQUESTS BEFORE THEY
ARE NEEDED. I HAD TO USE THIS
PROCUREMENT METHOD DISTRICT MUST
HAVE A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENTS
IN PLACE. PRIOR TO LU IS THE
TASK ORDER CONTRACTING PILOT
PROGRAM. THE DISTRICT WOULD
INITIATE THE PROCUREMENT PROCESS
AND AWARDS CONTRACTS ACROSS
MULTIPLE LOCATIONS ONLY AFTER
DETERMINING. THAT A SERVICE WAS
NEEDED. AS WAS THE CASE IN
TWENTY FIFTEEN WHEN L. A. U. S.
T. RECEIVED NEARLY. TWO THOUSAND
SIX HUNDRED SERVICE CALLED. FOR
EIGHT FACT WITH AND THIRTY NINE.
H. FAQ UP PER WERE. THE DISK
SOON BEGAN THE WEEK PROCUREMENT

DISRUPTED CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION
AND STUDENT A STUDENT SUFFERED
FROM. HEAT TASK ORDER
CONTRACTING HAS THREE UNIQUE
BENEFITS THE DISTRICT CAN
PREPARE CONTRACTS BEFORE
SERVICES ARE NEEDED SECURE
PRICING DURING NON PEAK PERIODS.
AND PREPARE MORE COMPREHENSIVE
CONTRACTS ACROSS MULTIPLE
PROJECTS. OTHER USES OF TASK
ORDER CONTRACT INCLUDE FIRE
SAFETY FIRE SAFETY TESTING
ROOFING SERVICES PAINTING FLOOR
REPAIRS AND HEATING. AN
INDEPENDENT THIRD PARTY ANALYSIS
FOUND THAT THE MAJORITY OF
PROJECTS EIGHTY THREE POINT 5%
OF WHICH WERE COMPLETED
COMPLETED UNDER BUDGET. RECENT
AMENDMENTS CLARIFY THAT THESE
CONTRACTS MAY ONLY BE USED FOR
REPAIR AND MAINTENANCE PROJECTS
AND NOT FOR UNRELATED SERVICES
THE BILL HAS NO OPPOSITION AND

ORIGINALLY AN ACT IN TWENTY
EIGHTEEN AS A FIVE YEAR PILOT
ALLOWING THE DISTRICT TO BUNDLE
MULTIPLE SMALL REPAIR AND
MAINTENANCE CONTRACTS INTO A
SINGLE MASTER CONTRACT IN
ADVANCE. BEFORE SERVICES ARE

ENABLES THE DISTRICT TO
NEGOTIATE THE SERVICE CONTRACTS
BEFOREHAND SO THE CONTRACTORS

BY ALLOWING FOR NEGOTIATING
SERVICE COSTS IN ADVANCE OF PEAK
DEMANDS. WERE PRIORITY REQUEST

PROGRAM WAS SUBJECT TO A THIRD
PARTY INDEPENDENT VALUATION FEE
FOR BY THE DISTRICT. IT FOUND
THAT ALLEY UST IMPLEMENTED AND
FOLLOWED FOR BOSTON'S CLASS

CONTROLS IN PLACE. THIS BILL
EXTENDS THE PROGRAM FOR ANOTHER
TEN YEARS. TO ALLOW THE DISTRICT
TO ALSO USE FUNDS FROM LOCAL
CONSTRUCTION BONDS FOR TASK
ORDER CONTRACTS. THE LANGUAGE
ALSO CLARIFIES THAT FEDERAL OR
STATE FUNDS MAY BE USED TO
ENSURE FEDERAL MATCHING FUNDS TO
BE SPENT. ON BOND ELIGIBLE
PROJECTS SYNTHASES FREQUENTLY
USE A FINE MIXTURE. IS
CONTRACTOR PAID LOCALLY AND DO
NOT HAVE ANY STATE COSTS. ALL
OTHER ASPECTS OF THE ORIGINAL
PROGRAM REMAIN THE SAME
INCLUDING A REQUIREMENT TO HAVE
A PROJECT LABOR AGREEMENT IN
PLACE. THE THREE MILLION DOLLAR
LIMIT ON A SINGLE CONTRACT THE
SUPPLEMENT NOT SUPPLANT LANGUAGE
REGARDING DISTRICT PERSONNEL.
THAT RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR

THANK YOU RE TESTIMONY ANYBODY
ELSE. REALLY NOBODY IN Q. ALL
RIGHT WITH THANK YOU VERY HAS
COME TO THE DAY. AND IT COMES
QUESTION A COLLEAGUE SPENCER
GLAZER. OKAY GENTLEMEN- SOMEONE
I I'M TO YOUR BILL TO. AS A LOT
OF I THINK- EFFICIENCIES. BUT
THE ONE PART I DID WHAT TO ASK
ABOUT IS THAT I WAS. IT REALLY
UNDERSTAND WHY A PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENT BEING IN PLACE OR NOT
REALLY AFFECTED THE EFFICIENCIES
YOU'RE TRYING TO DO IN YOUR BILL
WANT TO GIVE YOU THE CHANCE TO.
SPEAK TO THAT. THANK YOU FOR THE
QUESTION SENATOR. LOS ANGELES-
HAS- A MODEL IN WHICH THE
MAJORITY OF OUR WORK IS DONE
THROUGH PROJECT LABOR
AGREEMENTS- UNIONS ARE IMPORTANT
TO OUR CITY WE WANT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WHILE THERE ARE VACANCIES
WITHIN LAUSD. THE ADMINISTRATION
WITH AN ALLEY UST IS DOING
EVERYTHING IT POSSIBLY CAN TO
ALSO HIRE IN HOUSE. A AND SO
THAT THEY'RE NOT HAVING TO DO AS
MANY CONTRACTS AS NEEDED- WE DO
BELIEVE THAT UNION. LABOR IS
IMPORTANT- AND SHOULD HAVE THE
MAXIMUM CAPACITY TO BE ABLE TO
HIRE WITHIN THAT SCOPE HOWEVER
WE ALSO UNDERSTAND THAT
SOMETIMES THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF
POTENTIAL WORK FORCE. AND SO AT
THE VERY MINIMUM WHEN USING
PUBLIC DOLLARS WE. HAVE A
STANDARD OF USING A PUBLIC LABOR
AGREEMENT. THANK FOR THAT
EXPLAIN AND I DON'T HAVE A
PROBLEM WITH THE- BUDGET LABOR
AGREEMENTS IT'S JUST REALLY AT
AND A LOCAL CHOICE- AND- SOME
JURISDICTIONS FIND THAT IT WORKS
FOR THEM OTHERS DOWN. IN THIS
CASE L. A. U. S. T. SEEMS TO
FIND IT- A GOOD THING. I DON'T
HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THAT EITHER-
IT'S JUST THAT THEY'RE IT THE
EFFICIENCIES THAT REQUIRED IN
THIS BILL ARE CONTINGENT UPON
THAT SO IT DOES CREATE A LITTLE
BIT MORE OF A STATE. REQUIREMENT
TO ALLOW THAT THESE EFFICIENCIES
TO HAPPEN BUT WITH ALL THAT
BEING SAID I'M HAPPY TO MOVE THE
BILL AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME.
PRESHEAF THAT- ANY OTHER
COMMENTS UNION. I WOULD LIKE TO
CLOSE. THANK YOU M. S. KERR THE
IS A COST EFFICIENT- COST SAVING
MEASURE THE BILL THE POLICY
ALREADY EXIST IN THIS IS SIMPLY
AN EXTENSION. TO ENSURE THAT
PUBLIC DOLLARS IN THE GENERAL
FUND FOR CALIFORNIA'S LARGEST
SCHOOL DISTRICT. IS ABLE TO
CREATE THE CONTRACT NECESSARY TO
CREATE. TO ENSURE THAT COSTS
REMAIN LOW WHENEVER THERE IS AN
ISSUE RELATED TO A SCHOOL
NEEDING- TO BE FIX OF FACILITY.
LEADING TO HAVE REPAIRS AND WHEN
THE TIME IS APPROPRIATE WITH
RESPECT TO THE QUESTION ABOUT
NUTRITION THAN WE DO A QUORUM-

ASSEMBLY MEMBER ORTEGA. GLAD TO
SEE YOU I DON'T SEE ANOTHER
AUTHORS SO YOU ARE THE BIG
WINNER YOUR NEXT. AT WELCOME
YOU'LL BE PRESENTING AB EIGHT
HUNDRED. EARNERS YOU PROBABLY
WHERE WE DO NOT THE AT A CORE. I
THANK YOU MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS-
FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT
AB EIGHT HUNDRED TODAY. AB EIGHT
HUNDRED ELEVEN ENACT A WORKPLACE
READINESS WEEK IN CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC HIGH SCHOOLS. TO INFORM
STUDENTS ABOUT THEIR RIGHTS AS
WORKERS AND THEIR RIGHTS AS
EMPLOYED MINERS. IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE ONE HUNDRED AND
NINETEEN MAJORS. DIED FROM WORK
RELATED INJURIES IN THE UNITED
STATES. THE SAME YEAR. OVER
THIRTY THREE THOUSAND TEENS
SUFFERED WORKPLACE INJURIES SO
SEVERE THAT THEY NEEDED TO GO TO
THE EMERGENCY ROOM. WORKERS
RIGHTS ARE ESSENTIAL KNOWLEDGE
FOR ANYONE PARTICIPATING IN
TODAY'S WORKPLACE. IT IS
ESSENTIAL FOR MINORS. ENTERING
THE WORK PLACE TO BE PREPARED
WITH INFORMATION. ON LAWS THAT
THIS BODY HAS ENACTED. SUCH AS
WAGE AND HOUR PROTECTIONS WORKER
SAFETY PAID SICK LEAVE AND-
PROHIBITIONS AGAINST EMPLOYER
HARASSMENT. AB EIGHT HUNDRED
WILL ENSURE THAT OUR ALL OUR
YOUNG WORKERS ARE INFORMED ABOUT
THESE WORKPLACE RIGHTS. AS
RECENTLY AS TWO MONTHS AGO IN
OAKLAND TWO SEVENTEEN YEAR OLD
HOURLY EMPLOYEES FILED LABOR AND
SAFETY COMPLAINTS WITH CAL OSHA
FOR UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS.
TODAY I HAVE ONE OF THOSE TWO
WORKERS THE TESTIFIED IN SUPPORT
OF AB EIGHT HUNDRED MS ARMADA
REAL METAL. MISTER MELLOW
WELCOME YOU HAVE TO MAY. PLEASE
PROCEED. HELLO EVERYONE MY NAME
IS JOHN ONE OF THE MIDDLE AND I
AM SEVENTY YEARS OLD I'VE WORKED
AT POPEYES. ONE OF THE BEST
THINGS OF THE FAST FOOD INDUSTRY
HAS DONE IS BRAND ITSELF AS
AMERICA'S BEST FIRST JOB IN THE
FIVE MONTHS I'VE BEEN A POPEYE'S
I'VE LEARNED FIRST HAND THAT
THAT'S BEEN A FALSE PROMISE. IN
MAY I WENT ON STRIKE FOR THE
VERY FIRST TIME TO SOUND THE
ALARM ON HOW THE COMPANY HAS
BEEN EXPLOITING MINORS AT THE
STORE INCLUDING THAT THERE'S
YOUR WORKER. AND THE SEXUAL
HARASSMENT THAT WAS GOING ON AT
WORK DURING MY TIME APPLE PIES
MANAGEMENT NEVER ASKED ME FOR A
WORK PERMIT I WAS EXPECTED TO
WORK LATE UNTIL TEN OR ELEVEN
PM. THERE WERE TIMES I MISSED MY
MORNING CLASSES BECAUSE I WAS
TIRED AFTER A LATE SHIFT IN THE
HELPFUL SO EXHAUSTING BECAUSE I
DIDN'T KNOW IF I WAS GOING TO
GRADUATE BECAUSE OF THE- ONE OF
A. SHIFT THAT I HAVE TO WORK. I
NEVER SAID ANYTHING TO
MANAGEMENT BECAUSE I WAS AFRAID
THAT CUT ALL MY HOURS I NEED
THIS JOB TO HELP MY FAMILY WITH
BILLS FROM TIME TO TIME. OUR
PRESIDENT TAKE ACTION TO
WASHINGTON POST REPORTER REACHED
A CORPORATE OFFICE FOR COMMENTS
ABOUT THE CHILD LABOR VIOLATIONS
THAT WE HAD EXPOSED. THE
IMMEDIATELY SHUT DOWN A STORE IN
MOTION. ISSUES WE EXPOSED. BY
LEADING THE STRIKE I EXPERIENCED
A POWER WORKERS HAVE WHEN WE
ORGANIZE AND GO UP AGAINST SOME
OF THE BIGGEST FAST FOOD BRANDS
IN THE WORLD. BUT I ALSO REALIZE
HOW SO MANY YOUNG WORKERS ON
AWARE OF THEIR RIGHTS AND HOW
EASY IT IS TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF
US. AFTER GOING ON STRIKE IN
SPEAKING OUT MY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN
CUT OUT WEEK AFTER WEEK
SOMETHING I KNOW IT IS HARD TO
SAY. RETALIATION IN MORE MORE
HOUSEHOLDS ACROSS THE STATE'S
YOUNG WORKERS LIKE ME ARE
STEPPING UP TO HELP OUR PARENTS
AND FAMILIES WITH. BILLS RENT
GROCERIES AND MORE. WITH
HONORING OUR RIGHTS AND HOW TO.
DEMAND BETTER WE ARE MORE
VULNERABLE. TO BEING EXPLOITED
ESPECIALLY FOR BORIS IF OUR
BOSSES NOW HAVE BAD YOU NEED
THESE JOBS. THAT'S WHY I'M
ASKING YOU SENATORS TO SUPPORT
AB EIGHT HUNDRED THIS BILL MAKES
WORKERS RIGHTS A KEY. PART OF
OUR EDUCATION JUST LIKE ALGEBRA
HISTORY AND SCIENCE. IF MORE AND
MORE YOUNG PEOPLE ARE ENTERING
WORKPLACES WE NEED TO HAVE THE
TOOLS AND KNOWLEDGE AND- KNOW
WHAT RIGHTS WE HAVE AND HOW TO
PROTECT OURSELVES. ON BEHALF OF
OUR YOUNG WORKERS IN OAKLAND
ACROSS CALIFORNIA I ASK FOR YES
VOTE ON THIS BILL. THANK YOU.
THANK YOU- ANY OTHER PRIMARY.
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. YES I HAVE
MISTER. THAT HERE. FROM THAT CAN
. LABOR FOR. THIS STAGGERED
MORNING WELL. ACCORDING YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN. AND MY SNIDER
WITH CAL. LABOR PROUD. CO
SPONSOR THE BILL. ALONG WITH
THE- FOR. OF AND J. WOULD LIKE
TO JUST REFER AND FOR. THE
STRUCTURE OF THE BILL BUT BEFORE
I DO THAT. WOULD ALSO LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE THE PREVIOUS WITNESSES
TESTIMONIES THAT WE THINK IS.
SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT
TESTIMONY THAT WILL HERE TODAY.
THAT WE'VE SEEN SIMILAR STORIES
HERE IN CALIFORNIA. ALL ACROSS
THE COUNTRY AND- FOR WHATEVER
REASON MANY AREAS IN THE REST OF
THE COUNTRY ARE RESPONDING TO
THESE. REALLY AWFUL REALLY
COMPELLING STORIES BY RELAXING
THESE LAWS MOVING IN WHAT WE
BELIEVE IS A VERY VERY MUCH THE
WRONG DIRECTION. BUT WE'VE GOT
AN OPPORTUNITY WITH THIS BILL TO
WE THINK MOVE IN THE RIGHT
DIRECTION. TAKES STEPS TOWARDS
PREVENTING THIS SORT OF THING
FROM HAPPENING TO FURTHER ON TO
FURTHER YOUNG WORKERS. AND THIS
BILL PRESENTS WE THINK A VERY
GOOD OPPORTUNITY TO DO THAT. SO
BASICALLY DOES THREE THINGS- IT
CREATES A WORKPLACE READY THIS
WEEK TO COINCIDE WITH WORKERS
MEMORIAL DAY. DURING WHICH
SCHOOLS WOULD OBSERVE THIS WEEK.
HOWEVER THEY LIKE TO A GIVES A
LOT OF FLEXIBILITY COULD BE AN
ASSEMBLY IT COULD BE A DISPLAY
IN THE HALLWAY WHATEVER SCHOOL
WOULD LIKE TO DO. THE SECOND
THING THAT IT DOES IS IT-
INTEGRATES THESE TOPICS INTO THE
REGULAR SCHOOL CURRICULUM FOR
ELEVENTH AND TWELFTH GRADES. WE
VERY CAREFULLY ALONG WITH THE
AUTHOR'S OFFICE DRAFTED THAT
SECTION TO MAKE SURE THAT.
TEACHERS COULD COVER THESE
TOPICS WHENEVER DURING THE YEAR
IT MAKES SENSE FOR THEM. WE
UNDERSTAND THAT TEACHERS HAVE.
ALL SORTS OF SCHEDULES AND
THINGS THEY HAVE TO MEET IN THAT
WE DON'T WANT TO INTERFERE WITH
THAT ANYWAY SO. WHENEVER MAKES
SENSE FOR THEM THEY CAN COVER
THAT. AND THEN THE THIRD THING
IT DOES IS CREATE THIS DOCUMENT.
THAT IS GIVEN TO KIDS WHEN THEY
RECEIVE A WORKPLACE A WORKERS
PERMIT. THAT LAYS OUT ALL OF
THESE RIGHTS. ANOTHER WAY FOR US
TO BE SURE THAT THEY HAVE THIS
INFORMATION AND- FOR A LOT OF
THESE KIDS WERE TRANSLATORS FOR
THEIR PARENTS WE THINK THIS IS A
DOCUMENT. THAT THEY COULD THEN
TAKE TO THEIR PARENTS AND HELP
WALK THEM THROUGH. THEIR RIGHTS
ON THE JOB AND- THROUGH THIS
BILL. ALSO HEALTHCARE DOT
KNOWLEDGE OF WORKERS RIGHTS
BEYOND JUST THE STUDENT TO THEIR
ENTIRE FAMILIES. WE THINK ALL
ALL THESE REFORMS. TO GET. WE'LL
DO A WHOLE LOT TO HELP. KIDS
MORE KNOWLEDGE ABOUT THE RIGHTS
THAT THEY DESERVE. AND
PARTICULARLY FOCUSED ON THE
RIGHT TO ORGANIZE A UNION. SO
THAT THEY CAN IN THE MOST
EFFECTIVE WAY POSSIBLE PROTECT
THEMSELVES ON THE JOB. YOUR
SUPPORT. THANK YOU SIR. I ANY

LET'S LET'S COME BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE HEARING ROOM-
COLLEAGUES REQUEST YOUR.
COMMENTS ON THE BILL SENATE
GLAZER. THANK YOU- I CERTAINLY
SUPPORT ALL THE GOALS AND VALUES
THAT ARE IN YOUR BILL SO THERE'S
NO REAL ISSUE WITH ME IN TERMS
OF THAT THE IMPORTANCE AYE AYE
FIRST JOB WAS AT A FAST FOOD
RESTAURANT FIFTEEN AND A HALF.
LIKELY IT WAS A GOOD EXPERIENCE-
HERE IN SACRAMENTO BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THE- AGAIN THAT THAT
MESSAGES AND LESSONS THAT YOU'D
LIKE TO SHARE DURING THAT WEEK.
BUT LET ME EXPLAIN WHY I CAN'T
SUPPORT YOUR BILL TODAY NOT
BECAUSE OF THE GOALS AND CONTENT
AND VALUES THAT YOU WANT TO
ADVANCED BECAUSE- I JUST DON'T
KNOW WHERE WE STOP IN TERMS OF
DESIGNATING WEEKS. OR MONTHS FOR
IMPORTANT TOPICS AND I ASKED MY
STEPS WE HAD QUITE AS- A ROBUST
DEBATE ABOUT THIS BILL EARLIER
THIS WEEK. ABOUT OTHER THINGS
THAT WE'D LIKE OUR CHILDREN TO
KNOW REALLY IMPORTANT THINGS
WOULD LIKE THEM TO KNOW IN
SCHOOL THAT ARE NECESSARILY.
DIRECTED AROUND. MATH IN ENGLISH
AND HISTORY. AND ADD SOME OF
THOSE THINGS THAT WEBER BROUGHT
UP WERE FINANCIAL LITERACY-
MENTAL HEALTH. ENVIRONMENTAL
CONSERVATION CAREER-
EXPLORATION. TECHNOLOGY IN THE
DIGITAL CITIZENSHIP. A CIVIC
ENGAGEMENT WE PASSED A BILL LAST
YEAR ABOUT TRYING TO GET OUR
KIDS MORE INVOLVED IN CIVIC
ENGAGEMENT. A DIVERSITY AND
INCLUSION WEEK. CREATIVE ARTS
WEEK. SO WE KIND OF GLENDALE A
LOT OF THESE AND SEVERAL THESE
WOULD BE REALLY VALUABLE AS YOU
AS YOU ARE ADVANCING IN THIS
BILL A GOOD VALUE FOR OUR KIDS.
THERE'S SO MANY OTHERS AND SO
THE DILEMMA FOR ME AND I'M SURE
THIS BILL IS GETTING OUT OF THE
COMMITTEE TODAY BUT I JUST WANT
TO BE CLEAR THE DILEMMA FOR ME
IS. NOT THAT THIS IS NOT A GOOD
THING TO DO BUT THERE'S SO MANY
OTHERS AND WHERE DO WE AS A
LEGISLATURE START AND STOP THIS
PROCESS. WE KNOW THAT THAT WE
HAVE LOCALLY ELECTED SCHOOL
BOARDS. THAT HOPEFULLY ARE
SENSITIVE TO THEIR COMMUNITY AND
CAN MAKE GOOD JUDGMENTS ABOUT
HIGHLIGHTING DIFFERENT TYPES OF-
OF FIVE VALUES THAT THAT AS AS
THIS BILL. ADVANCES AND SO FOR
ME IT IS THE REASON WHY I CAN'T
BE SUPPORTIVE OF THE BILL WHICH
I KNOW HAS AT ITS HEART. I'M
REALLY GOOD VALUES AND GOALS.
THANK YOU SIR GLAZER BEYONCE.
TWO NINE. I AM FROM MY PROGRESS
WITH THE BILL- ASSEMBLY MEMBER

AGENDA. THAT NUMBER TWO WE HAD
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BERMAN I WILL
SAY I'M A LITTLE DISAPPOINTED
BECAUSE THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO

UNDERSTAND IS YOU ALSO GAVE
MAKES AN IMPASSIONED REMARKS
YESTERDAY ABOUT- ATTENDANCE AND
COURTESY WOULD YOU WANT TO
REVISIT THIS TODAY INSIDE OF
YOUR- YOUR ARRIVAL BOTH- THANK
YOU MISTER CHAIR I WOULD HUMBLY
AND SINCERELY APOLOGIZE. FOR
KEEPING YOU UP FOR A COUPLE OF
MINUTES TO TALK AMONGST
YOURSELVES AND- SENATORS
STRUGGLED TO TALK LET'S NOT
MEAN. YOU MAY BE SEATED AND
READY. THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
CENTERS OUT FROM SILICON VALLEY
TO BIOTECH BEACH CALIFORNIA IS
THE UNDISPUTED CRADLE OF
INNOVATION. HOWEVER FAR TOO MANY
STUDENTS GROW UP IN THE SHADOWS
OF TECH COMPANIES YEAH THEY GO
TO SCHOOLS THAT DON'T OFFER THEM
THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO ONE DAY
WORK AT THOSE COMPANIES IN THEIR
OWN COMMUNITIES. CALIFORNIA HAS
FALLEN BEHIND TWENTY SEVEN OTHER
STATES WHEN IT COMES TO
PRIORITIZING ACCESS TO COMPUTER
SCIENCE EDUCATION EXACERBATING
EXACERBATING EDUCATIONAL
INEQUITIES IN THE DIVERSITY GAPS
IN TECH. STATES LIKE ARKANSAS
NEBRASKA NEVADA SOUTH CAROLINA
AND TENNESSEE ARE FAR AHEAD OF
AHEAD OF US. AB TEN FIFTY FOUR
WOULD REQUIRE. SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND CHARTER SCHOOLS TO ADOPT A
PLAN TO ENSURE ALL HIGH SCHOOLS
OFFER AT LEAST ONE COMPUTER
SCIENCE EDUCATION COURSE. BY THE
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN TWENTY
TWENTY EIGHT SCHOOL YEAR. THIS
BILL PROVIDES A THOUGHTFUL
PHASED IN APPROACH WITH
ADDITIONAL FLEXIBILITY MEASURES
TO ENSURE SCHOOLS HAVE BOTH THE
TIME AND FLEXIBILITY TO
IMPLEMENT THIS SUCCESSFULLY.
IT'S TIME TO RESTORE CALIFORNIA
AS A LEADER AND TAKE THE NEXT
STEP OF ENSURING COMPUTER
SCIENCE EDUCATION FOR ALL- I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE
AND I'M JOINED BY KERR CAN MOST
YOU ON BEHALF OF CO DOT ORG. AN
AUTO NINE MAC SENIOR DIRECTOR OF
EDUCATION FOR CHILDREN NOW-
MISTER. MISTER MAC WELCOME. IF
THEY TWO MINUTES. THANK YOU GOOD
MORNING CHAIR ON A MAC ON BEHALF
OF CHILDREN NOW IN THE
CALIFORNIA STEM NETWORK BECAUSE
SPONSORS OF AB TEN FIFTY FOUR.
WE KNOW COMPUTER SCIENCE IS A
CRITICAL CORE FOR ALL KIDS IN
CALIFORNIA TO EXPERIENCE
THROUGHOUT. TO EXPERIENCE
THROUGHOUT THE YEARS THE STATE
LEGISLATURE HAS TAKEN IMPORTANT
STEPS TO DEVELOP AND EXPAND
COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATION IN
CALIFORNIA. IT IS NOW TIME TO
TAKE THIS NEXT STEP TO IMPROVE
THE EQUITY AND ACCESS IN
COMPUTER SCIENCE. COMPUTER
SCIENCE IS A VITAL COMPONENT OF
HIGH QUALITY WELL ROUNDED
EDUCATION. ACCESS TO HIGH SCHOOL
COMPUTER SCIENCE EXTREMELY
LIMITED AND MORE OFTEN THAN NOT
. IS NOT AVAILABLE TO STUDENTS
OF COLOR. MULTI LINGUAL STUDENTS
AND STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME
FAMILIES. WHO OFTEN ATTEND
SCHOOLS THAT DO NOT OFFER A
COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSE
ACCORDING TO DATA COMPILED BY
THE COMPUTER SCIENCE OF
CALIFORNIA. OF WHICH CHILDREN
NOW THE MEMBER CALIFORNIA RANKS
THIRTY FIFTH IN THE NATION FOR
THE PERCENTAGE OF HIGH SCHOOLS.
OFFER COMPUTER SCIENCE COURSES.
IN A STEM DEPENDING ECONOMY LIKE
CALIFORNIA LIMITS TEAM THE
AVAILABILITY OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
COURSES. IS ALSO LIMITING OUR
STATE'S ECONOMIC POTENTIAL. I WE
CERTAINLY RECOGNIZE THE IMPACT
OF THE TEACHER SHORTAGE ON
DISTRICTS. ABILITY TO FULFILL
QUALIFIED CANDIDATES HOWEVER WE
BELIEVE THAT THE IMPLEMENTATION
DATE OF TWO THOUSAND TWENTY
EIGHT PROVIDE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
MORE THAN AMPLE TIME TO UTILIZE
CURRENT. PROGRAMS THAT SUPPORT
THE TEACHER PIPELINE SUCH AS THE
TEACHER RESIDENCY PROGRAM. AS
WELL AS THE FUNDING THAT'S
PROVIDED TO PAY FOR SUPPLEMENTAL
AUTHORIZATION. FOR THESE REASONS
WE ASK FOR YOUR IPHONE ON TEN
SEVENTEEN FIFTY FOUR THANK YOU
THANK YOU. MR COMMISSION MORNING
WELCOME. THANK YOU CHAIRMAN
NEWMAN IN MEMBERS KERR KIMMEL
SHOW ON BEHALF OF CO DOT ORG- AT
CODE WE BELIEVE THAT COMPUTER
SCIENCE IS FOUNDATIONAL IN
TRANSFORMING THE WAY THAT
STUDENTS THINK ABOUT TECHNOLOGY.
AND TEACHES THEM ESSENTIAL
PROBLEM SOLVING SKILLS. FOR
THOSE REASONS WE THINK
INTRODUCING COMPUTER SCIENCE
COURSES ACROSS ALL. CALIFORNIA
HIGH SCHOOLS TO ALL CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS. IS REALLY REALLY
CRITICAL TO CLOSE THE EQUITY GAP
IN COMPUTER SCIENCE FIELDS AND
PROVIDE THE WORK FORCE NEEDED
FOR CALIFORNIA TO REMAIN
COMPETITIVE IN THE GLOBAL GLOBAL
ECONOMY. FOR THOSE REASONS WE
ARE DRIVE OUT. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH YOU'RE DOING OF OTHER
WITNESSES HERE IN SUPPORT OF THE
MEASURE- WELCOME. MISTER

CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
IS FOR. VERY GOOD VERY LIKE TO
SIGN OPPOSITION THE MEASURE.
WELCOME GOOD MORNING MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MR
COMMITTEE ON BEHALF OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS I WAS
RESPECTFULLY IN OPPOSITION TO
THE BILL WELL WE UNDERSTAND THE
IMPORTANCE OF COMPUTER SCIENCE
EDUCATION PREPARING STUDENTS FOR
THE FUTURE. WE ARE DEEPLY
CONCERNED ABOUT THE LACK OF
QUALIFIED EDUCATORS TO FILL THE
SACRAMENT. CALIFORNIA IS
CURRENTLY FACING A SEVERE
SHORTAGE OF TEACHERS
PARTICULARLY IN SPECIALIZED
FIELDS SUCH AS COMPUTER SCIENCE
IT TAKES YEARS TO EDUCATE AND
TRAIN TEACHERS AND ALTHOUGH THE
STATE HAS PROVIDED FUNDING TO
INCENTIVIZE THE FIELD. WE DON'T
KNOW IF IT'LL HAVE- PRODUCING
ASSIST HER WORKLOAD. WORKFORCE
NEEDED. ENFORCING A COMPUTER
SCIENCE REQUIREMENT WITHOUT
SUFFICIENT EDUCATORS TO DELIVER
HIGH QUALITY INSTRUCTION WOULD
BE COUNTER PRODUCTIVE AND
UNDERMINE DID THE INTENDED
PURPOSE OF THE BILL. THIS WOULD
RESULT IN A SUPERFICIAL
UNDERSTANDING OF THE SUBJECT
MATTER WHICH WE BELIEVE WOULD BE
DETRIMENTAL TO STUDENTS FUTURE
SUCCESS IN PURSUING CAREERS ARE
HIGHER EDUCATION THE FIELD.
FURTHERMORE THE SHORTAGE OF
COMPUTER SCIENCE EDUCATORS WITH
PLACEMENTS BURDEN ON ALREADY
OVERBURDENED TEACHERS. EXPECTING
CURRENT EDUCATORS SUCH AS MATH
TEACHERS TO TAKE ON ADDITIONAL
RESPONSIBILITIES SUCH AS
TEACHING COMPUTER SCIENCE
WITHOUT PROPER TRAINING OR
SUPPORT WOULD BE TO INCREASE
WORKLOAD AND POTENTIAL BURNOUT.
THIS IN TURN ME OVER AFFECT THE
OVERALL QUALITY OF INSTRUCTION-
ACROSS ALL SUBJECTS A TEACHER
MAYBE. TEACHERS MAY BE UNABLE TO
DEVOTE ADEQUATE TIME AND
ATTENTION TO EACH SUBJECT THAT
THEY'RE RESPONSIBLE FOR. IN
LIGHT OF THESE CONCERNS ACTUAL
REQUEST EXEMPTION FOR SCHOOLS IF
THEY'RE UNABLE TO SECURE
QUALIFIED EDUCATORS OR THE
NECESSARY RESOURCES TO TEACH
COMPUTER SCIENCE. THIS EXEMPTION
WOULD ENSURE THAT. SCHOOLS ARE
NOT PENALIZED FOR CIRCUMSTANCES
BEYOND THEIR CONTROL AND WOULD
PREVENT THE IMPLEMENTATION OF A
REQUIREMENT THAT CANNOT BE
EFFECTIVELY FILLED. OUT WITHOUT
THIS EXCEPTION PROCESS-
UNFORTUNATELY WE REMAIN ON
RESPECTFULLY OPPOSE I THANK YOU
FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION THANK YOU
ANYBODY ELSE IN OPPOSITION.
WELCOME THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR

Q. LET'S COME BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE HEARING ROOM-
COLLEAGUES A QUESTIONS OR
COMMENTS TO THE AUTHOR
REGARDING. MAYBE TEN FIFTY FOUR.
I SAW CENTER WILL PROPOSED.
THANK YOU JOHN SO I GET. CERTAIN
SUPPORT SUPPORTING THE BILL
TODAY AND ONE OF THINGS ARE WE
SAY THAT A PERSON ZIP CODE
SHOULD NOT- HAVE ANY IMPACT ON
THEIR ABILITY TO. HAVE ACCESS TO
EDUCATION BUT THAT THAT IS A
PRACTICAL MATTER THAT THE
OPPONENTS HAVE SHARED I HAVE
SUBURBAN SCHOOLS I HAD VERY VERY
RURAL SCHOOLS LIKE THE WHOLE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS LIKE. NOT EVEN
FIVE HUNDRED KIDS SO ARE YOU
STILL CONTINUING TO TALK TO THE
OPPOSITION CB CAN'T OF LAND
SOMEWHERE THAT. HOPEFULLY
ACCOMMODATES THEM YEAH I I'M
VERY COMMITTED TO CONTINUE TO
TALK WITH THE OPPOSITION I
SIMILAR TO YOU HAVE HAVE A VERY
DIVERSE DISTRICT WHERE I HAVE
URBAN SCHOOLS AND I ALSO HAVE
VERY RURAL SCHOOLS IN
SOUTHWESTERN SAN MATTEO COUNTY
ACCOUNT PASSCODE AREA. WE HAVE
SOME THIS AND BECAUSE OF THAT WE
PUT SOME- DETAILS IN THE BILL
THAT INCLUDE THE ABILITY TO
OFFER A VIRTUAL OR DISTANCE
COURSE OPTION IF A TRADITIONAL
CLASSROOM SETTING. ISN'T
FEASIBLE- AND SO THE SCHOOLS CAN
YOU KNOW DO THESE CLASSES CAN BE
TAUGHT REMOTELY BUT I JUST READ
AND I AM SYMPATHETIC TO THE
ISSUE OF NEEDING TO TRAIN MORE
TEACHERS I'VE- WORKS ON THESE
ISSUES IN THE PAST I'VE BEEN
VERY FRUSTRATED AT THE LACK OF
SUCCESS THAT I'VE HAD WORKING ON
THESE ISSUES IN THE PAST- AND
IT'S COME TO THE POINT WHERE. I
THINK CALIFORNIA REALLY NEEDS TO
SET A MARKER LIKE WE DO WITH
OTHER POLICIES THAT IT SAID THE
DATE THAT WE'RE GONNA GET
SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED. AND THEN
WE HAVE TO DO THE HARD WORK TO
GET THAT ACCOMPLISHED- AND SO-
YOU KNOW I WOULD BE MORE. THIS
ISN'T GONNA BE EASY- THE INVITE
BUT THE BUT IT'S IMPORTANT. AND
IF WE WERE THE FIRST STATE IN
THE COUNTRY TO DO THIS. I WOULD
BE I WOULD BE A LITTLE MORE
HESITANT. WOULD BE THE TWENTY
EIGHTH STATE IN THE COUNTRY TO
DO THIS. TWENTY SEVEN OTHER
STATES ALREADY. REQUIRE THAT
EVERY HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT HAVE
ACCESS THIS IS A REQUIREMENT
THAT YOU TAKE IT BUT HAVE
ACCESS. TO COMPUTER SCIENCE
THERE FIVE STATES THOSE FIVE
STATES THAT I LISTED EARLIER-
IT. ARKANSAS NEBRASKA NEVADA
SOUTH CAROLINA AND TENNESSEE-
HAVE. COMPUTER SCIENCE AS A
GRADUATION REQUIREMENT. I'M SURE
THEY HAVE DID YOU KNOW A
CHALLENGING TIME GETTING
COMPUTER SCIENCE TEACHERS IN
THOSE COMMUNITIES AND- IN THE
STATES AS WELL WE CAN'T LET THAT
BE AN EXCUSE NOT TO MAKE SURE
THAT OUR- STUDENTS. YOU KNOW
HAVE ACCESS TO IT TO THE COURSE
ISN'T SKULLS OF THE NEEDS. BUT I
WILL ABSOLUTELY KEEP ON. TALKING
TO THE OPPOSITION. THANK YOU
SENATOR BOTH. SO BASICALLY THE
SAME CONCERNS THAT I HAVE WITH
THEIR SMALL- COURSES- SMALL
COUNTY CENTER SCHOOL THIS IS A
VERY SENSITIVE TO THEM IT AS
WELL. AND BECAUSE I UNDERSTAND
THE SHORTAGE THAT WE HAVE. FOR
TRAIN TEACHERS THROUGHOUT THE
STATE. AND IT'S VERY WELL KNOWN
I STUDENT. BOTH IN THIS
COMMITTEE AND ALSO IN BUDGET ONE
WHICH IS THE EDUCATIONAL
FUNDING- COMMITTEE AND THE
REPORTS THE OVERSIGHT HEARINGS
THAT WE HAVE WITH REGARDS TO-
EDUCATIONAL WORKFORCE. IS
INCREDIBLY DIRE- YOU NEED HERE.
IN CALIFORNIA SO MANY AREAS
HEALTH CARE IT IS ANOTHER ONE-
PUBLIC SAFETY IS ANOTHER ONE.
AND BUT I A. M. I'M GOING TO
SUPPORT THE BILL TODAY HOWEVER.
I DO WANT TO SEE SOME
ACCOMMODATIONS OR AND AT LEAST
ADDRESSED- THE- UNFUNDED MANDATE
I AM VERY SENSITIVE TO THAT
HAVING HAD SENATORS LOCAL SCHOOL
BOARD TRYING TO FIGURE OUT- HOW
DO YOU MEET ALL THESE
REQUIREMENTS WITHOUT THE
FUNDING. ALLOCATED TO SELL M. I
NOTICE THAT THIS ISN'T UNFUNDED
MANDATE. YES IT'S I SUPPOSE IT'S
A MANDATE THAT YOU OFFER THE
COURSE IS NOT AMENDED THE TAKE
THE COURSE WE DO HAVE PROGRAMS
WHICH I CAN TALK ABOUT THE
MINUTE THAT THE GRANT FUNDING TO
TRAIN TEACHERS TO IT TO. TEACH
COMPUTER SCIENCE I'M GOING TO IT
NOW I CAN WAIT UNTIL OUT YOU CAN
DO THAT WHEN YOU CLOSE BUT I
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE- WE
DON'T REQUIRE THIS WITHOUT
GIVING THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS HERE
B. B. THE FUNDING. TO BE ABLE TO
PROVIDE THESE COURSES ARE BOTH
AS NOT JUST THE TRAINING AND WE
NEED TO TRAIN THE TEACHERS BUT
ALSO. THE ABILITY TO HIRE THEM-
ESPECIALLY IN RURAL AREAS AND AS
WE KNOW LIKE- HEALTH CARE IT'S
VERY DIFFICULT TO HIRE PEOPLE IN
THE RURAL AREAS. TO BRING THEM
IN THERE WITHOUT- WITHOUT THEIR
PREFERRED FUNDING SO I'M I'M
GONNA I'M GONNA WASH VERY
CLOSELY WHAT YOU HAVE ALLOCATE A
MINUTE. LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY TO
THE OPPOSITION AS WE MOVE
FORWARD AND I WILL RESERVE MY
RIGHT TO CHANGE MY VOTE ON THE
ON THE FLOOR. ONCE THE FINAL
LANGUAGE IS HEREBY I'M IN THE
PROCESS I HOPE THAT YOU CONTINUE
TO WORK. IN BOTH THE FUNDING AND
NUMBER TWO- ACCOMMODATING- NEED
THE ABILITY TO MEET THIS. DEMAND
FOR MANY OF OUR RURAL AREAS.

NONPROFIT- THAT WAS FOCUSED ON
INCREASING. INCREASING ACCESS TO

NEEDS. A NEW COACHING AND- ALL
RIGHT MISS BERMAN FOR MY- YOU

WORKSHEET. WELL BEHIND- AND
THERE'S AN IRONY THERE IS YOU

RESTORED LEADERSHIP IN

IMPORTANT YOUNG PEOPLE GET
EXPOSED TO IT EARLY- IN THE
STATE THIS BIG THERE'S AN UNTOLD
NUMBER OF YOUNG PEOPLE. THAT
WILL. EMBRACE THE OPPORTUNITIES

YOU WOULD BE SENDING AB FIVE-
AND YOU MAY RECEIVE ONE READY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE- TODAY I'M
PROUD TO PRESENT EIGHTY FIVE AND
I'M PROUD THAT THIS CRITICAL
BILL IS SPONSORED BY C. F. T.
THE CALIFORNIA TEACHERS
ASSOCIATION. THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION TONY THURMOND AND
EQUALITY CALIFORNIA THIS BILL IS
THE RESULT OF NEARLY A DECADE OF
ADVOCACY TO QUIT TEACHERS AND
SCHOOL STAFF WITH THE TRAINING
AND TOOLS THEY NEED TO CREATE
SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS. INCLUDING THOSE WHO
ARE LGBTQ PLUS AND WHO MAY BE
FACING HARASSMENT AND LACK OF
ACCEPTANCE AT SCHOOL REJECTION
AT HOME OR DISCRIMINATION AND
THE BROADER COMMUNITY. PRIOR
EFFORTS IN THIS SPACE WERE
DELAYED TO GIVE THE SPONSORS
TIME TO ENGAGE IN BUDGET AT
BECAUSE THE TO FIND THE CREATION
OF AN ONLINE TRAINING PROGRAM
WHICH WE SUCCEEDED WHICH THEY
SUCCEEDED IN DOING IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE AS A RESULT OF
NEGOTIATIONS WITH GOVERNOR
NEWSOM. THE BUDGET ALLOCATED
THREE MILLION DOLLARS TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION FOR THE
CREATION OF AN ONLINE TRAINING
PROGRAM FOR TEACHERS AND STAFF
WHICH REQUIRED ROBUST CONTENT
THAT IS BEARD IN THIS BILL. OUR
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF
INCLUDING CLASSIFIED STAFF ON
THE FRONT LINES OF ENSURING THAT
FOR ALL CHILDREN. REGARDLESS OF
BACKGROUND ZIP CODES SEXUAL
ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY
HAVE A SHOT AT THE AMERICAN
DREAM. THAT OFTEN MEANS
PROVIDING A SAFETY NET. AGAINST
THE EFFECTS OF DISCRIMINATION A
LACK OF ACCEPTANCE THAT MEMBERS
OF THE LGBTQ PLUS COMMUNITY AND
ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH FACE. AND
WHICH TOO OFTEN RESULTS IN
HIGHER DROPOUT RATES LOWER
ECONOMIC SUCCESS HIGHER RATES OF
HOMELESSNESS HIGHER RATES OF
SUBSTANCE ABUSE. AND SUICIDE
AMONG OTHER DISPARITIES IN
HEALTH AND WELL BEING.
FUNDAMENTALLY EVERY CHILD IN
CALIFORNIA DESERVES A SAFE AND
SUPPORTIVE SCHOOL WHERE THEY
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO LEARN
AND SUCCEED. WHEN LGBTQ PLUS
STUDENTS HAVE THAT SUPPORT IN
SCHOOL THEIR LIKELIHOOD OF
OVERCOMING THESE DISPARITIES AND
SUCCEEDING IN LIFE INCREASES
SIGNIFICANTLY. THAT'S WHY WHILE
I WAS AT A QUALITY CALIFORNIA I
WAS SO DEDICATED TO IMPROVING
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT AND MAKING
THEM SAFER AND MORE INCLUSIVE.
THAT'S WHY OUR TEACHERS WERE SO
COMMITTED TO OUR KIDS ARE ASKING
FOR THIS TRAINING AND STRONGLY
SUPPORT THIS BILL. ULTIMATELY WE
KNOW THAT THEY AND THEY KNOW
THAT SUPPORTIVE TEACHERS AND
SCHOOL STAFF CAN CHANGE
CHILDREN'S LIVES. THEY CAN GIVEN
LGBT KID FROM DIAMOND BAR ARE
YOU KAIBA OR SAN JOSE OR CUSTER
CUTS THE OR NORTH COAST OR LOS
ANGELES OR SANTA CLARITA. A SHOT
AT A BRIGHTER FUTURE. IF WE'RE
GONNA EXPECT OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL
TEACHERS AND OTHER CERTIFICATED
STAFF TO FILL THIS CRITICAL
MISSION WE HAVE TO GIVE THEM THE
TOOLS THEY NEED. AND AGAIN I'M
SO GRATEFUL TO OUR SPONSORS FOR
JOINING US IN ADVANCE IN THIS
CRITICAL BUILT. I ASK FOR YOUR
AYE VOTE AT THE APPROPRIATE TIME
AND WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT AND TO ASSIST WITH
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS. ARE ADRIAN
IN ELK GROVE STUDENT IN THE
TENTH GRADE AND JEFF GREATEST
PRESIDENT OF C. OF E. OF ONE OF
THE CO SPONSORS OF THE BILL.
VERY GOOD- I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU
. THE GIVEN THE GREEN LIGHT TO
GO FIRST WELCOME SIR. HELLO MY
NAME IS ADRIAN AND NOW I'M AN-
INCOMING ELEVENTH GRADER AT A
HIGH SCHOOL IN ELK GROVE. AND
I'M HERE TODAY TO EXPRESS MY
STRONG SUPPORT FOR EIGHTY FIVE.
AS I BELIEVE IT IS IMPORTANT
BILL FOR LGBTQ YOUTH IN
CALIFORNIA. AS A TRANSGENDER
STUDENT MYSELF I CAN SAY FROM
FIRST HAND EXPERIENCE THAT THIS
TRAINING IS BADLY NEEDED. IN OUR
SCHOOLS. MANY TEACHERS WANT TO
SUPPORT THE STUDENTS BUT THEY
JUST DON'T KNOW HOW. THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND THE CRUCIAL ROLE THAT
USING THE CORRECT PRONOUNS AND
NAMES. NEED TO STUDENTS THAT
THEY TEACH. THEY DON'T
UNDERSTAND THAT IT GREATLY
IMPACTS OUR SAFETY AND WELL
BEING AND I BELIEVE THEM HAVING
ANY INCREASE UNDERSTANDING WOULD
GREATLY IMPROVE THE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENT AT SCHOOL. FOR KIDS
LIKE ME. WHEN I FIRST STARTED
HIGH SCHOOL I WAS NOT OPEN ABOUT
BEING TRANSGENDER. TO MY PEERS
OR MY TEACHERS. HOWEVER AFTER A
FEW MONTHS AND MAKING MORE
FRIENDS AND BECOMING MORE
COMFORTABLE AT MY NEW SCHOOL. I
THEN DECIDED TO COME OUT TO A
SMALL GROUP OF PEOPLE. BUT AT
THAT TIME I STILL DECIDED NOT TO
DISCLOSE THE INFORMATION WITH
ANY OF MY TEACHERS. DESPITE MY
WISHES MY ENGLISH TEACHER STILL
FOUND OUT THAT I WENT BY ADRIAN
AND HE HIM PRONOUNS. AND THEN IN
AN ATTEMPT TO AFFIRM MY GENDER
IDENTITY THEN DECIDED TO CALL ME
ADRIAN AND HE HIM EFFORT OF THE
ENTIRE CLASS. SUBSEQUENTLY
OUTING ME AS TRANSGENDER TO ALL
OF MY CLASSMATES. I WAS
MORTIFIED ALL CONTROL I HAD OVER
A VERY PRIVATE ASPECT OF MY LIFE
HAVE BEEN TAKEN AWAY FROM ME. A
WHILE I DO BELIEVE THIS TEACHER
WAS TRYING HER BEST TO BE
SUPPORTIVE. I DON'T THINK SHE
REALLY KNEW HOW TO SUPPORT A
CHANGE UNDER CHILD. THAT BEING
SAID I AM FORTUNATE TO HAVE A
FAMILY THAT DOES SUPPORT ME AT
HOME. BUT I KNOW THAT THIS IS
NOT THE CASE FOR MANY LGBTQ
STUDENTS. SO IT IS IMPERATIVE
THAT THIS THAT TEACHERS DO
EVERYTHING THEY CAN TO HELP
CREATE A SUPPORTIVE ENVIRONMENT
AT SCHOOL. TO ENSURE THAT ALL
CHILDREN FEEL ACCEPTED RESPECTED
AND SUPPORTED FOR WHO THEY ARE.
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. MISTER
FRESH WELCOME. GOOD MORNING
THANK YOU CHAIR. THANK YOU
MEMBERS I SAID MY NAME IS JEFF
REYES ON THE PRESIDENT OF CFT-
BUT I'M A MATH TEACHER BY TRADE
- I'M A GAY MAN HAPPILY MARRIED
TO ANOTHER MAN. BUT WHEN I GREW
UP IN LOS BANOS CALIFORNIA I
FELT DIFFERENT FROM THE PEOPLE
AROUND ME. THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
THAT DIFFERENCE WAS. I KNEW THE
WORD GAY BUT DIDN'T KNOW WHAT IT
MEANT AS YOU CAN TELL THIS WAS A
WHILE AGO THE GREAT MY TEMPLES.
THERE WERE REFERENCES IN THE
MEDIA EXCEPT FOR THE THERE WERE
NOT REFERENCES IN THE MEDIA
EXCEPT FOR THE AIDS PANDEMIC AT
THE TIME. THERE WERE FEW ROLE
MODELS. THAT I THAT I WAS AWARE
OVER THERE WERE ONLY RUMORS OF
ENTERTAINERS- THAT WE'RE GOOD.
EVEN THOUGH MY UNCLE WAS
INVOLVED IN SAN FRANCISCO
POLITICS IN THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT
HARVEY MILK AT THE TIME. AS YOU
KNOW TODAY IT'S VERY DIFFERENT.
WE HAVE SEVERAL MODEL ASSEMBLY
MEMBER CARRYING THIS BILL AMEND
A LEADER OF THE COMMUNITY. ALL
SPEED UP THE TIME LINE A LITTLE
BIT BECAUSE IT'S A FEW DECADES-
I THEN WENT TO WEST POINT WHERE
I FIGURED OUT THAT I WAS GAY.
THAT I WAS THE GAME MAN I LEFT
BECAUSE- THE CODE OF THE
MILITARY CODE PREVENTING ME FROM
SERVING THIS WAS DURING BUSH
SENIOR. BUT WHEN I LEFT I KNEW I
WANTED TO HELP PEOPLE I WANTED
TO HELP STUDENTS. THAT WAS WHAT
I WANTED TO DO IN LIFE SO I
BECAME A MATH TEACHER BECAUSE
MATH WAS EASY. I KNOW THAT WHAT
EVERYBODY SAYS BUT IT WAS FOR ME
- BUT THE FIRST TIME THAT A
STUDENT CAME OUT TO ME. I DON'T
KNOW WHAT TO DO HI AS A GAY MAN
DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO SAY. LOW
RESOURCES TO GIVE OR WHAT
CONVERSATIONS EVEN HAVE WITH
THAT STUDENT. EVEN IN SHORT EVEN
I AS A GAY MAN. DIDN'T KNOW AS A
TEACHER. WHAT TO DO. I CAN SEE
IS THE QUADRATIC EQUATION TEN
DIFFERENT WAYS TO THAT STUDENT.
BUT I DON'T KNOW HOW TO HELP
THAT STUDENT WITH WHAT THEY WERE
STRUGGLING WITH AT THE TIME. NOW
WE HAVE STUDENT CLUBS THEY'RE
DIFFERENT ORGANIZATIONS. BUT WE
DON'T HAVE THAT TRAINING FOR ALL
EDUCATORS WHEN I SAY THAT. EVEN
EDUCATORS THAT ARE IN THE
COMMUNITY NEED THOSE RESOURCES.
THIS BILL PROVIDES THAT TRAINING
THE RESOURCES THAT WE NEED TO
KNOW TO BE ABLE TO HELP THOSE
STUDENTS. THAT IS WHY CFT IS A
CO SPONSOR THIS BILL AND WHY I
ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS. THANK YOU
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SHOULDN'T

UNION WE ARE SPECIAL INTEREST
GROUP OF PARENTS GRANDPARENTS

ABOUT THIS BILL. THE ONE OF THE
CONCERNS CONCERNS IS. CURRENTLY

OF THE- LOCAL EDUCATIONAL
AGENCY- BECAUSE IT'S RETIREMENT
I MANDATE A REQUIREMENT SOME OF

OUR STUDENTS- RECEIVE.
APPROPRIATE TRAINING IN REGARDS

COME BACK TO THE DAIS-
COLLEAGUES UNIQUE YOU'RE COMING
TO THE OTHER THE BILL. CENTER
JOB. FOR SENSE OF TO THEM. I
FIRST ONE TO. RECOGNIZED BY
CURRY OF BOTH OF THE YOUNGER
LIKE INTO THIS MORNING BOTH IN
SUPPORT AND IN OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL. I CAN'T IMAGINE M. THE
CHALLENGES THAT YOU BOTH HAVE
FACED AND MANY OF THE YOUTH THEY
GO THROUGH THE SAME. OR SIMILAR
LIFE EXPERIENCES- IN YOUR IN
YOUR LIVES. AT VERY DIFFERENT.
VERY DIFFERENT PATHS AND I'M
GRATEFUL THAT- ON BOTH CASES
YOU'VE HAD FAMILY SUPPORT-
BECAUSE EVERY CHILD. EVERY CHILD
DESERVES TO BE LOVED. AND
SUPPORTED DURING VERY DIFFICULT-
TIME WHICH IS ADOLESCENCE PERIOD
ADOLESCENCE IS VERY VERY
DIFFICULT FOR MANY OF US WE ALL
GO THROUGH THAT AWKWARD STAGE OF
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHAT OUR
BODIES ARE DOING. AS THEY CHANGE
THE HORMONAL- AB FLUCTUATIONS
THAT HAPPEN WITH ADOLESCENTS AND
HOW THAT IMPACTS OUR OUR SELF
PERCEPTION WHETHER YOU'RE LGBT
Q. OR NOT M. EVERYBODY GOES
THROUGH THOSE AWKWARD ARC WERE
STAGES- AND IN LIFE- AND THIS IS
A VERY SENSITIVE. SUBJECT
BECAUSE M. THERE'S SUCH A
THERE'S SUCH A HORRIBLE RISING
ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH- WE'RE
PLACING PEOPLE WHETHER IT'S WITH
LABELS OR WHETHER IT'S WITH- AND
A MOSSERI M. BUT I THINK M.
TODAY I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT THE BILL. AND NOT
BECAUSE I DON'T SUPPORT THE
PRINCIPLE OF. CREATING-
AWARENESS AND HOW DO WE- BEST
SUPPORT OUR STUDENTS BECAUSE I
THINK THAT'S IMPORTANT AS HUMAN
BEINGS AS A MOM AND I'M SPEAKING
AS A MOM- AT THIS TIME. M. WHO
HAS FAMILY MEMBERS WHO ARE
IDENTIFIES LGBTQ. AND HAS SEEN
THESE STRUGGLES THE IMPACT. ON
THAT END I'M- SO IT IS IT IS A
PERSONAL SUBJECT MATTER FOR ME-
ON THIS END. BUT WE HAVE TO DO
IN GENERAL. START TALKING ABOUT
JUST THE CIVILITY. AND THE JUST
THE BASIC- BECAUSE IT LOOKS MORE
THAN ANYTHING I THINK WITH WITH
OUR YOUTH NEED. IS TO FEEL THAT
THEY ARE SAFE BUT THERE LISTEN
TO. THAT THEY ARE- HAVE A PLACE
TO CALL HOME AND A FAMILY- I
THINK THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT
PART. AND THIS IS WHERE FAMILY
BECOMES VERY IMPORTANT. AND THIS
FEAR THAT I HAVE THE CONCERN
THAT I HAVE IS THAT MANY
PARENTS. FEEL THAT AS THEIR
STUDENTS THEIR CHILDREN ARE
GOING THROUGH A PERIOD OF TIME
WHERE THEY ARE HE GREEN THEIR
BODIES OUT. GOING TO THE
HORMONAL MANY PARENTS ARE
FEELING EXCLUDED FROM THE
CONVERSATION. AND AND I'M AFRAID
THAT MANY OF THE POLICY THAT
WE'RE SEEING- IT THROUGH THE
LEGISLATURE IS FURTHERING. THAT-
THAT- ISOLATION INSTEAD OF
TRYING TO PROMOTE AND BRING
FAMILIES TOGETHER. WE'RE WHAT
MIGHT APPEAR TO BE HITTING
PARENTS AGAINST THEIR OWN
CHILDREN. BECAUSE THE CHILDREN
MAY FEEL THAT THEY ARE NOT BEING
SUPPORTED- BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
BEING AFFIRMED. AND ON THE ON
JUST ON THE TRANS CARE FANS CARE
UP PORTION OF IT I. I'VE BEEN
HAVING MANY CONSTITUENTS ON ON
BOTH SIDES SEND ME ARTICLES IN
NEED- DATA AND SURVEYS AND I'M
I'M READING IT AS MUCH AS I CAN
TO BE A BETTER INFORMED- ONLY
MEMBER TO BE A BETTER INFORMED
LEGISLATOR. AND TO BE A BETTER
INFORMED- COMMUNITY MEMBER. SO
THAT I CAN UNDERSTAND THE
SENSITIVITIES THAT OUR COMMUNITY
MEMBERS ARE GOING THROUGH AN
ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH. ON BOTH
SIDES SO- I JUST ONE FOR THE
RECORD TO NOTE THAT- I WILL
CONTINUE TO SUPPORT. OUR
FAMILIES. ENSURING THAT THERE'S
COLLABORATION THAT THERE'S
COMMUNICATION THAT WE DON'T
VILIFY THAT WE DON'T- OSTRACIZE
. BUT THAT WE CONTINUE TO HAVE-
THOUGHTFUL. COURTEOUS KIND AND
CIVIL CONVERSATIONS. I BET ON IT
ON TOPICS THAT ARE INCREDIBLY
SENSITIVE BUSINESS SO- BECAUSE
OF THOSE REASONS I WON'T BE ABLE
TO SUPPORT THIS BECAUSE I'M I'M
I'M WORRIED AS TO WHERE WE'RE
GOING TO BE HEADING. AND WHAT
THAT'S GOING TO ENTAIL BECAUSE
WE DON'T HAVE SPECIFICS ON THAT
IN JUST THE CURRENT ENVIRONMENT
THAT WE HAVE IN WHICH PARENTS
ARE FEELING EXCLUDED- IS
EXTREMELY CONCERNING FOR ME-
BECAUSE AS AS I'VE MENTIONED
WITH- MY COLLEAGUE FROM SAN
FRANCISCO. JUST BECAUSE A PARENT
FEELS ONE WAY. AT A CERTAIN TIME
PERIOD OF TIME DOESN'T MEAN THAT
THAT PERSPECTIVE BONES CHANGE OR
VICE VERSA THAT THE STUDENT MADE
YOU'LL AND THINK ONE THING NOW.
BUT MIGHT CHANGE THEIR MIND AS
EVIDENCED BY THE TESTIMONY AND
THAT'S WHAT MAKES IT SO
DIFFICULT TO NAVIGATE BECAUSE
THEY'RE SUCH DIFFERENT PATHS. AS
EVIDENCE TODAY BYE BYE OUR
WITNESSES IN ONCE AGAIN TO OUR
YOUTH THAT CAME TODAY. MY
HIGHEST COMMENDATION ON YOUR
COURAGE- N. I. E. I AM GRATEFUL
THAT. I'M GRATEFUL THAT YOU'RE
HERE. AND THAT YOU HAVE A VOICE
AND THAT YOU OWN IT. SO THANK
YOU FOR BEING HERE IMPROVE BOTH
SHARING YOUR STORIES TODAY.
THANK YOU SENATOR SENATOR
GLAZERS THANK YOU YOUR NEWMAN I
KNOW WE HAVE A LONG HEARING
TODAY AND I HAVE A LOT TO SAY ON
THE SUBJECT BUT I'M GONNA BE
BRIEF. IT'S A GREAT BILL GATES
MODEST IN SCOPE- I THINK
ANYTHING THAT WE CAN DO TO
ENHANCE SENSITIVITY TO OUR LGBTQ
PLUS IS A GOOD THING. I DOESN'T
DO ANYTHING TO INTERFERE WITH
THE ROLE OF THE FAMILY. SO WITH
THAT I'M HAPPY TO MOVE ABILITY
APPROPRIATE TIME. THANK YOU AND
I AGREE WITH SENATOR GLAZERS
COMMENT- I WAS PARTICULARLY.
MOVED BY MR FRASER'S COMMA CITY
IN- EVEN AS- A GAY MAN TEACHING
YOU WERE VERY WE'RE NOT HAVING
THE TOOLS OF THAT TIME I
UNDERSTAND THIS BILL ASSEMBLY
MEMBER THIS IS THIS IS NOT ABOUT
A PARTICULAR POSITION IS TO
DELIVER THE NEUTRAL PROVIDE.
TEACHERS AND STAFF WITH THE
TOOLS TO BE AWARE AND APPROACH-
SENSITIVE TOO MANY OF THE ISSUES
THAT GENERAL CHOI BOTH I
DESCRIBED- IF YOU IF YOU
WOULDN'T MIND I MEAN YOU'RE YOU
CAN PRESERVE REFER YOUR CLOTHES-
SPEAKING TO THAT- IT'S BEEN A
LOT OF DISCUSSION HERE ABOUT.
PARENTAL INPUT INDOCTRINATION-
MY TO SHARE THIS BILL IS THIS IS
NOT ABOUT ANY OF THOSE THINGS NO
I MEAN WHEN YOU LOOK AT THE
STATISTICS WE KNOW THAT LGBTQ
KIDS FACE HIGHER RATES OF
DROPOUTS HIGHER RATES OF LEAVING
THEIR HOMES AND- AMONG THE
HIGHEST. IN TERMS OF
HOMELESSNESS LIKE THE FOUR OUT
OF TEN HOMELESS YOUTH ARE
MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ PLUS
COMMUNITY. AND WE KNOW SAID
WHAT'S HAPPENING THEY'RE
BASICALLY THEY'RE FACING
HOSTILITY IN THE SCHOOLS WERE
SOMETIMES A FACING LACK OF
ACCEPTANCE IN THEIR HOMES- AND
THEN THE RESULT AS THEY LEAVE
THEIR HOMES AND SO THE WHAT THIS
DOES IS IT'S NOT. YOU KNOW IT
DOESN'T HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH
TRANSGENDER MEDICAL CARE IT'S
REALLY TRYING TO HELP TEACHERS
UNDERSTAND HOW TO GRAPPLE WITH
STUDENTS WHEN THEY'RE FACING
THESE CHALLENGES. AND GIVE YOU
AN EXAMPLE THAT WAS IN MY OWN
FAMILY. MY DAUGHTER WHEN SHE WAS
IN FIFTH GRADE CAME HOME CRYING
ONE DAY. THE THERE WAS A- A
LITTLE GIRL IN HER. CLASS WHOSE
FAMILY DID LIKE THE FACT THAT
SHE HAD LGBT Q. PARENTS. AND
SAID THEY WERE DOING A BIRTHDAY
PARTY- AT THE AT THEIR HOME THAT
WEEKEND. AND INVITED EVERY KID
IN THE CLASS EXCEPT FOR MY
DAUGHTER. AND WE WENT BACK TO
THE TEACHER WE SAID WHY DID YOU
LET THAT HAPPEN YOU KNOW YOU
SHOULDN'T BE USING THE SCHOOLS
TO BASICALLY. TAX POSTURE SIZE
ONE KID. AND THE TEACHER WHO WAS
A GREAT TEACHER REALLY WONDERFUL
WONDERFUL TEACHER SAID. YOU KNOW
WE JUST DON'T HAVE WE'RE NOT
TAUGHT ABOUT WHAT TO DO IN THESE
I THOUGHT REALLY AWKWARD YOU
KNOW THAT. THE KIDS PARENTS CAME
IN AND GET STARTED JUST PASSING
AROUND TO THE KIDS A LITTLE GIRL
PASSED AROUND. AND I DID WANT TO
TAKE THEM BACK I DIDN'T KNOW
WHAT TO DO- THOSE ARE THE KINDS
OF THINGS THE SKILLS THAT AT
THAT LEVEL THAT THEY WOULD. HELP
WITH THE MINISTERS AND TEACHERS
THAT OUR BEST PRACTICE ON HOW
HANDLE THE THINGS AND HOW TO GO.
WITH THE THAT FAMILIES HAVE
DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES BUT HOW
YOU ALWAYS PROTECT. THE KID- SO
THAT'S JUST ONE EXAMPLE- OF THE
KINDS OF THINGS THAT THE
TRAINING ITSELF IS BEING
PREPARED BY THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT. OF A PUBLIC
EDUCATION IT'S A SIX HOUR
COURSE. IT IS REALLY MORE ABOUT
HELPING KIDS STAY IN SCHOOL- AND
KEEP HELPING TEACHERS UNDERSTAND
HOW TO HELP IDENTIFY THESE AT
RISK KIDS AND HELP THEM STAY IN
SCHOOL AND GRAPPLE WITH. THIS
VERY SENSITIVE TIME IN THEIR
COMMUNITY- SO I YOU KNOW I THINK
THAT THIS IS SOMETHING THAT IS
ACTUALLY. PRO FAMILY BECAUSE
IT'S- IT'S ABOUT. GETTING THEM
TO EXISTING RESOURCES AND ALSO.
IMPLEMENTING THE EXISTING LAWS
THAT WE'VE ALREADY PASSED. THANK
YOU CAN CAN WE TAKE THAT ISSUE
CLOSE. YOU CAN DISCUSS ANY OTHER
QUESTIONS THAT THANK YOU FOR
THE- I KNOW YOU'VE BEEN A STRONG
ADVOCATE FOR COMMITTED I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT CENTER GLAZER
AND- I WITH THAT I. RESPECTFULLY
ASK FOR YOUR I. BOATS PRECIADO
WITH A MOTION SENATOR GLAZERS
MEMBERS SO IF YOU PLEASE CALL
THE ROLL. OR ASK QUESTIONS ON. I
DON'T KNOW THAT IT TAKES IS TO
FOR A DOG YOU YOU WILL BE
PLEASED TO MAKE IT IF YOU WOULD
MIND. QUESTION THE WITNESS THE
PARTS OF THE CAR. RIGHT THE- I
MEAN I THINK THE ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS ANSWERED HIS QUESTION
THE ANSWER. BY WAY OF HIS INTENT
FOR THE BILL. THIS FRIDAY
CORRECT I'VE BEEN BRIEFED. THIS
IS WHAT HAPPENS AT THE SCHOOL
BECAUSE I'M IF I'M A PARENT OF A
CHILD WHO THOUGHT THAT SHE WAS
TRANSGENDER. SO THEY KEPT IT A
SECRET THE SCHOOL DOES GO BEHIND
PARENTS BACKS AND THAT'S WITH
THESE. I THIS BILL WILL TEACH.
TEACHERS TO DO TO KEEP IT A
SECRET FROM THEIR PARENTS
SCHOOLS HAVE TRANSITION CLASSES
WHERE CHILDREN CAN GO INTO
SCHOOL AND WON. A PAIR OF
CLOTHING AND THEN WILL THERE AT
SCHOOL CHANGE INTO SOMETHING
ELSE TO KEEP IT A SECRET FROM
PARENTS I APPRECIATE THAT
BECAUSE ALSO THEY ALSO PROVIDING
BINDERS NO THIS IS WHAT THE
TRAINING IS ABOUT THIS IS NOT
WITH THE LEGISLATION'S ABOUT.
HEATERS TO HIDE FROM PARENTS-
INFORMATION THAT'S WHAT IT
TRAINS THEM THERE IS NOTHING IN
THE BILL THE TALKS ABOUT THE
TRANSITION OR ABOUT THE MEDICAL
HARMS SO IT IS IN INCOMPLETE
BILL IF YOU WANT TO. EDUCATE THE
TEACHERS ABOUT I TRANSGENDERISM
YOU HAVE TO EDUCATED IN TOTAL
WHICH IS NOT THAT THE PARENTS
ARE MONSTERS THERE ARE NO
PARENTS THAT ARE KICKING THEIR
KIDS OUT OF THIS I WORK WITH
THOUSANDS OF PARENTS. THANK YOU
YOUR POINT IS WELL TAKEN. MR IF
YOU COULD PLEASE A QUICK
RESPONSE VERY GOOD THAT THE
TRAINING THAT IS BEING DEVELOPED
IS NOT EVEN BEEN RELEASED YET
SO- WHAT'S HE SAYING IT YOU
KNOW. IT'S BASICALLY TRAINING
THAT'S BEEN A PROVIDED BY
EDUCATION EXPERTS THAT'S AGE
APPROPRIATE. AND IS REALLY AIMED
AT THE THINGS THAT THE STANDARDS
THAT ARE SET FORTH IN THE BILL.
AND TO BE CLEAR THIS IS A WORK
IN PROGRESS IN THAT AND I WOULD
ASSUME. GOOD FOR MISTRY'S
COMMENTS THAT YOU'RE MORE THAN
WILLING TO TAKE INPUT TO MAKE
SURE THAT THAT. YOU THIS IS
NEUTRAL THAT THIS IS SENSITIVE
AND TAKES ALL PARTISAN ACCOUNT
IS THAT CORRECT. WE I THINK WE
WE'VE WORKED VERY CAREFULLY WITH
THE DEPARTMENT INSTRUCTION AND
WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION ABOUT SORT OF THE
STANDARDS THAT NEED TO BE IN THE
BILL THOSE WERE ACTUALLY ADOPTED
BY. THE LEGISLATURE SO THAT THAT
PART IS ALREADY DONE. BUT I WAS

PROCESS BY ALLOWING THE
CALIFORNIA STUDENT AID

MANY OF WHOM ARE UNDOCUMENTED.
CAN APPLY FOR FINANCIAL AID AND
COMPLETE THAT ADDITIONAL AB FIVE

ELIGIBILITY FOR AID AND FOR THAT
NON RESIDENT. TUITION EXEMPTION.
RIGHT NOW THE TWO STEP APPROACH
THAT ASSEMBLY MEMBER PHAM
DESCRIBED REQUIRES UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS ARE CALIFORNIA DREAM
ACT APPLICANTS. TO COMPLETE MORE
PAPERWORK COMPARED TO THEIR
PEERS THAT SUBMIT A FEDERAL
APPLICATION. OFTEN TO STILL
RECEIVE LESS AID. IN THE TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO ACADEMIC YEAR OUT
OF APPROXIMATELY TWENTY ONE
THOUSAND CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT
FILERS WHO WERE OFFERED STATE
AID. ONLY THIRTEEN THOUSAND WERE
ULTIMATELY PAID. THAT MEANS THE
NEARLY FOUR OF EVERY TEN OF OUR
DREAM ACT APPLICANTS OFFERED
AID. ARE NOT RECEIVING IT AND WE
KNOW THAT THESE KIND OF
ADMINISTRATIVE CHALLENGES
CONTRIBUTE TO THAT. THE WORK
GROUP THAT WE CONVENED
IDENTIFIED VARIOUS BARRIERS THAT
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS FACE AS
THEY NAVIGATE HIGHER EDUCATION.
STUDENTS VOCALIZED THAT THEY AND
THEIR PEERS ARE OFTEN UNAWARE OF
THE MULTIPLE FORMS THEY NEED TO
SUBMIT CAUSING THEIR AID- TO BE
DELAYED AND ITS DISBURSEMENT. AB
FIFTEEN FORTY REFER DIRECTLY
REFLECTS THE RECOMMENDATION THAT
WE HEARD FROM OUR STUDENTS AND
OUR PRACTITIONERS WERE WORKING
ON THIS EVERY DAY. LATER THIS
YEAR A NEW FEDERAL AID FORMULA
AN APPLICATION WILL BE LAUNCHED
TO SIMPLIFY THE PROCESS FOR
THOSE THAT ARE ABLE TO APPLY
FEDERALLY. UNFORTUNATELY MANY OF
THOSE APPLICATIONS ENHANCEMENTS
ARE CONTINGENT ON EXPANDING THE
USE OF IRIS DATA. THAT'S NOT
SOMETHING WE'RE GOING TO BE ABLE
TO REPLICATE FOR CALIFORNIA
DREAM ACT APPLICATION. HOWEVER
AB FIFTEEN FORTY PREVENTS
PRESENTS US WITH A CHANCE TO
SIMPLIFY THE FOR THE FINANCIALLY
PROCESS FOR UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS AND CALIFORNIA DREAM
ACT APPLICANTS. NOW THE IDEAL
TIME FOR US TO MAKE THIS CHANGE
BECAUSE WE CAN IMPLEMENT IT
ALONG WITH OTHERS THAT ARE UNDER
WAY. TO UTILIZE THAT NEW FEDERAL
AID FORMULA AND OUR STATE A
DETERMINATIONS. SO. NOW YOU'LL
BE HEARING FROM OUR STUDENT-
WILL PROVIDE. A EXPERIENCE. FROM
THE EIGHTY FIVE FOURTEEN FOR.

OF THE COURSES THAT THEY HAVE
SUBMITTED. THE CHART ON PAGE
FIVE THE COMMITTED ELSE'S SHOWS
A 47% ACCEPTANCE RATE. OF THESE
ETHNIC STUDIES COURSES. THEY
HAVE ALSO EXPRESSED FRUSTRATION
WITH THE CRITERIA FOR APPROVAL
WHICH SEEM TO CHANGE OVER TIME
AND WITH REVIEWERS MAY NOT HAVE
HAD THE EXPERTISE AND EXPERTISE
COURSES. FOR EXAMPLE DURING THE
LAST ROUND OF APPROVAL HAS COME
TO MY ATTENTION THAT IS AMERICAN
STUDIES COURSES THAT FOCUS ON
PACIFIC ISLANDERS HAVE BEEN
REJECTED. WITH THE BELIEF THAT
PACIFIC ISLANDERS ARE NOT PART
OF THE ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES.
ESPERANZA IS MICHAEL STUDIES ARE
NOT JUST ABOUT EAST ASIANS WITH
ALSO THE EXPERIENCE OF ALL ASIAN
PACIFIC AMERICANS. WHICH
INCLUDES THE EXPERIENCE AS A
PACIFIC ISLANDER AMERICANS. MY
OFFICE HAS BEEN IN DISCUSSION
WITH THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE
FOR. OVER A YEAR AND EXPENSE
RECEIPT. THE COUNCIL'S OFFICE
WILLINGNESS TO MEET WITH MY
OFFICE. I INTRODUCED THIS BILL
ORIGINALLY AS A PLACEHOLDER
HOPING NOT TO HAVE ANYTHING DONE
LEGISLATIVELY. BUT WE CONTINUE
TO HAVE SOME ISSUES AND THEN US
IN MAJOR IMPROVEMENTS. ASSEMBLY
BILL FIVE OR SIX WILL ESTABLISH
A NEW PROCESS FOR APPROVING
COMMITTEE COLLEGE COURSES. I
THINK THAT IS COURSES. THAT WILL
BE UNDER THE GUIDANCE OF THE
CSU. AND COMMIT COLLEGE ACADEMIC
SENATES AND COUNCILS FOR ETHNIC
STUDIES. THEY ARE SUBJECT MATTER
EXPERTS IN ETHICS THAT IS. THIS
PROCESS IS NECESSARY TO ENSURE
THAT THE COURSES APPROVED FOR
TRANSFER OR PROBE IT AND
SUFFICIENT. IN NUMBER TO AVOID
ANY DELAYS AND STUDENTS ABILITY
TO TRANSFER FROM THE COMMEY
COLLEGE. TO CSU. AND I'M ALSO
THINK THIS. HUMBLE ALSO VERY OF
THE CAN. REGARDING THE SUNSET OF
ASSISTING COURSE THAT BEEN
APPROVED. WE SIMPLY WANTED TO DO
A REVIEW OF THOSE COURSES UNDER
THE NEW PROCESS BY SUBJECT
MATTER FACULTY. AROUND WELL INTO
. COMMIT AND WORKING ON THOSE
ISSUES AND CONCERNS MOVING
FORWARD. AND TESTIFYING ITS- AND
SUPPORT OUR DOCTOR FRANCISCO
RODRIGUEZ CHANCE OF THE LOS

AMONG TO JOIN YOU. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER FONG. THE L. A. C. CITY.
WAS APPROACHED BY OF AB BIBLE.
SIX I THINK STUDIES PROVIDE A-
VIEW INNER. OF OUR SUS HISTORY
RACE. ETHNICITY CLASS IT
PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK. TO HELP
OUR STUDENTS BUILD A MORE
INFORMED RACIALLY JUST AND
INCLUSIVE FUTURE. A FUTURE THAT
OUR STUDENTS WILL INHERIT LEAD
AND ALL OF US WILL BENEFIT FROM
. THE LEGISLATURE'S PASSAGE IN
THE GOVERNOR SIGNATURES. OF AB
FOURTEEN SIXTEEN TWENTY TWENTY
ESTABLISHED THE LANDMARK ETHICS
THAT IS GRADUATION REQUIREMENT
FOR BACHELOR'S DEGREE AT THE
CALIFORNIA MEDICAL SYSTEM. THIS
IS CENTURY REQUIRES ALL
COMMITTEE COLLEGES TO OFFER
LOWER DIVISION ETHNIC STUDIES
COURSES. FOR ALL STUDENTS WHO
PLAN TO TRANSFER TO THE UC. WE
GET A COUPLE OF DATA POINTS THAT
WILL PUT THIS INTO CONTEXT. AS
OF THE TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE
ACADEMIC YEAR MORE THAN 53% OF
COMMITTEE COLLEGE ETHNIC STUDIES
COURSES SUBMITTED FOR APPROVAL
UNDER THE AREA F. CATEGORY. HAVE
BEEN DENIED BY THE CSU. THE
DAILY C. C. D. ONLY 37% OF SUCH
COURSES HAVE BEEN. APPROVED
UNDER AREA F. WE HAVE AT THE
MOMENT SEVEN CHICANO STUDIES
COURSES AVAILABLE FIVE AFRICAN
AMERICAN STUDIES COURSES THREE
ASIAN AMERICAN STUDIES COURSES.
THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE WILL NOT
MEET THE NEED SIMPLY PUT THE
CURRENT APPROVAL PROCESS IN
PLACE IS NOT WORKING IT IS
SIMPLY TOO SLOW. WE MUST CORRECT
THIS PROCESS FOR THAT OUR
STUDENTS CAN SATISFY THE LOWER
DIVISION. REQUIREMENTS AND
SUCCESSFULLY TRANSFERRED TO THE
CSU OF THEIR CHOICE. THIS BILL
ENSURES THAT GRADUATES OF THE
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY AND
TRANSFER STUDENTS FROM THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
FOR FILL THE INTENT OF AB.
FOURTEEN SIXTY WE FIRMLY BELIEVE
THAT BY WORKING COLLABORATIVELY
WITH OUR CSU PARTNERS WITH OUR-
CHANCES OFFICE PARTNERS WE CAN
ESTABLISH A PROCESS THROUGH THIS
BILL. THAT HONORS THE INTENT OF
AB FOURTEEN SIX THREE AND FOR
THESE REASONS I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR YOUR RIVAL. THANK YOU VERY
MUCH. NEXT ONE IS PLEASE. THAT
MIGHT. GOOD MORNING READ MISTER

AND TEST RUBRIC. THAT WAS NOT
SUBMITTED PRIOR TO SUBMISSION.
YET WE'RE USED TO EVALUATE AREA
OF PROPOSALS CONTRIBUTING TO THE
DENIALS OF ALL NINETY
SUBMISSIONS FROM JUST THIS PAST
SPRING. THE RESULT IS THAT
STUDENTS ARE BEING HURT BY THIS
PROCESS WHEN ETHNIC STUDIES
CURRICULUM ISN'T APPROVED IN A
TIMELY AND CONSISTENT MANNER. IT

AND RESTRICT STUDENTS ABILITY TO
TAKE TRANSFERABLE ETHNIC STUDIES

ALUMNI OF SAN DIEGO STATE AS
WELL AS A BOARD MEMBER OF AGENCY

THE AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE
SCADA AND CO CHAIR OF X.
EDUCATION COMMITTEE AND A PROUD
GRADUATE OF UC SAN DIEGO IN SAN

SAME REASON THAT THE COUNCIL.

ABOUT FORTY ALSO ON THE BOARD OF
AJ C. IN MONTHS AND- WE SUPPORT
EFFORTS STUDY BUT- AB OAKS AND
THE- IN OUR LETTER THANK YOU
THANK YOU MISTER WARNING NOW
PLEASE. LINE ONE TWENTY ONE. HI
THIS IS ZIMMERMAN AND-
ABSOLUTELY. OPPOSED AB OKAY
THANK YOU NEXT WHICH- I AM
CURRENTLY NOT FURTHER KILL. A
VERY LET LET'S BACK TO THE
COMMITTEE AND BECAUSE IT COMES
FROM MEMBERS COMMITTEE. SENATOR
GLAZERS. THANK YOU AT YOUR
NEWMAN APPLE FIRST ASSEMBLY
MEMBER I APPLIED AT YOUR
ENGAGEMENT IN THIS SPACE IT'S A
COMPLICATED SPACE- BUT I KNOW IT
COMES OUT OF THE BEST OF
INTENTIONS OF TRYING TO MAKE
SURE THAT OUR ETHICS STUDIES
REQUIREMENTS ARE BEING MET- AND
I THINK YOU'RE RIGHT THAT- TO
ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE'S
DYSFUNCTION. AND IT'S NOT
WORKING AS WELL AS IT SHOULD-
I'M ON ONE HAND ON THE OTHER
HAND IT'S BRAND NEW. AND HASN'T
BEEN IN PLACE FOR A LONG TIME.
AND SO THE GROWING PAINS I THINK
AT SOME LEVEL ARE
UNDERSTANDABLE. BUT NEVER THE
LESS YOU KNOW NOBODY WANTS TO
SEE A YEAR AGO BY AND NOT-
ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE HOPE TO
ACCOMPLISH IN EDUCATING OUR KIDS
IN THIS IMPORTANT AREA. I KNOW
THAT IN A IF I COULD ROLL BACK
THE CLOCK YOU KNOW THIS IS THE
KIND OF THING THAT OF YOU KNOW
IF WE USED TO REFER TO IT AS THE
FACT THAT CALIFORNIA
POSTSECONDARY EDUCATION
COMMISSION. KIND OF ISSUE THAT
THEY WOULD TAKE UP AND MAKE SURE
THERE'S COORDINATION. BECAUSE
KNOW WHAT. MAKES ALL OF US SO
FRUSTRATED IT'S NOT JUST IN THIS
AREA IT'S ALSO ON THE TRANSFER
PORTAL SITUATION BUY IT HERE I
WOULD BE PULLING MY HAIR OUT-
WHICH IS THAT THIS IS A
COMMUNICATION BETWEEN THESE
SYSTEMS THIS THIS FUNCTION. HAS
BEEN GOING ON FOR A LONG TIME
AND IT DRIVES US ALL CRAZY
BECAUSE THE LOSERS ARE THE
STUDENTS. OUT THERE THE TRUE
LOSERS IN THIS SITUATION WHERE-
CONFLICTING INFORMATION.
CONFUSING OP YOU KNOW- CORPORATE
PROVE COURSES. AND THE IDEA. FOR
THE IDEA THAT A STUDENT COMMITS
THEIR TIME TO OF COURSE OVER THE
OVER A SEMESTER AND IT TURNS OUT
NOT TO BE. A TRANSFERABLE COURSE
OR A FUNCTIONAL COURSE IN THEIR
DIRECTION OF THEIR MAJOR. THAT'S
CRAZY IT'S CRAZY AND IF FOR
THOSE OF US WHO HAVE BEEN IN
THIS COMMITTEE FOR AWHILE OF
HEARD ME TALK ABOUT THIS ISSUE
BECAUSE IT DRIVES ME CRAZY. THAT
WE'RE **** STUDENTS. HOUSE
ADULTS. WITH THE BEST OF
INTENTIONS HAVE YEARS AND YEARS
CONTINUE TO. REALLY HURT STUDENT
ACHIEVEMENT AND STUDENT SUCCESS
BECAUSE THIS THE ADULTS. IN THE
ROOM CAN'T SEEM TO FIGURE IT OUT
AND WORK IT OUT. AND THESE ARE
THE SOME OF THE SMARTEST PEOPLE
IN OUR STATE ARE FAR FACULTY.
ARE BRILLIANT FACULTY- AND ALL
SUS AT ALL LEVELS IN THE SYSTEM.
CAN'T WORK IT OUT AND FIGURE IT
OUT AND WE CAN COORDINATE. SO
THAT'S MY FOUNDATIONAL VIEW OF
THIS ISSUE- NO MY FRUSTRATION
WITH THIS BILL IS. YOU KNOW IT'S
ALL STUDENT CENTERED. STUDENTS
WHO THOUGHT THEY WERE DOING
EVERYTHING RIGHT HOUSES BILL
REALLY GOING TO AFFECT THEM THAT
HURT THEM. AND THERE'S
TESTIMONY. THAT THAT IT WOULD DO
SO THAT THE COURSES THEY THOUGHT
WERE APPROVED MAY NOT BE
ELIGIBLE NOW. THAT'S A TRAGEDY I
JUST CAN'T EXTENT. THAT WE WOULD
EVER WANT THAT TO HAPPEN. I
THINK IS THE OF THIS. THAT WE
WOULD BE WE WOULD BENEFIT FROM
FROM INTERIM HEARING OF THE
COMMITTEE. THE FOCUS ON HOW THIS
COORDINATION IS HAPPENING AND
IT'S BEYOND ETHNIC STUDIES- AND
MAY NOT BE THE DIRECTION THAT
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE TODAY I
THINK THAT. THERE'S
JUSTIFICATION FOR MAKING THIS A
TO YOUR BILL. AND MAKING SURE
THAT WE'RE MAKING SMART
DECISIONS NOT JUST MAKING IT
WORSE I THINK THE INTENTIONS ARE
ALL CORRECT. AND IS THIS
FUNCTION IS SOMETHING WE'VE SEEN
OVER TIME. BUT I'M NOT I'M NOT.
CONFIDENT THAT THIS IS THE RIGHT
STEP TO TAKE AT THIS MOMENT THAT
MAY NOT MAKE IT BETTER I KNOW
YOU WANT TO MAKE IT BETTER AND
THAT'S CERTAINLY WHAT YOU'RE
TRYING TO DO HERE. BUT AND I
THINK THIS TAKES AWAY A PROCESS
FROM OUR FACULTY AT ALL THE
INSTITUTIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
WORKING ON THIS ISSUE. SO IT'S
GOING TO SHORT CHANGE THEIR
REVIEW WE HAVEN'T GIVEN IT A
CHANCE I DON'T THINK YET. AND
I'M I'M VERY TROUBLED THAT
STUDENTS WHO THOUGHT THEY HAVE
BEEN DOING EVERYTHING RIGHT
MIGHT BE HURT BY THIS. CINERAMA
I'M. YEAH SURE. PLEASE CONSIDER
MAKING WAS A FOR THOSE BECAUSE-
AND- REALLY APPRECIATE THE
SENTIMENT IN ADVOCATING FOR OUR
STUDENTS. I WOULD TO TAKE THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENT THAT.
SATISFIES A REQUIREMENT THAT THE
STUDENTS EVER TAKEN A COURSE.
THAT WAS ONE OF THE SIX HUNDRED
TWENTY FIVE HAVE BEEN APPROVED-
THAT THEIR- GRANDFATHERED IN. ON
IN TERMS OF THE COURSES AND
CLASSES. THAT HAVE BEEN APPROVED
BY THE CSU SYSTEM. I'M OPEN TO A
CONVERSATION GOING FORWARD TO
MAKE SURE THAT. WE- CAN LOOK AT
THAT PROCESS AND NOT. CENSORED
THE EXISTING COURSES THAT BEEN
ORDER PROOFS PROCESS OF THIS
COMES AS WELL AND THEN IN TERMS
OF CALIFORNIA'S SECOND EDUCATION
COMMISSION. I AGREE WITH YOU
WHOLEHEARTEDLY- WE'RE- LOOKING
AT THAT VERY CLOSELY MATCHES-
EXCEPT SOMETHING THERE WERE THE
TO YOUR BILL BUT IT'S TO BRING
BACK THE BOOK CALIFORNIA'S
SECOND EDUCATION WITH OF THE
CLUB AND HAVE CONVERSATIONS
WITH. ON THAT. THE TICKET. AND
ANY OTHER MOVES COMMITTEE. ZERO
YOUR HAVE TO GIVEN THAT CAN OF.
THING BECAUSE I BECAUSE BECAUSE
OF. WITH THIS IS A SO. YEAR AGO.
VICHY I GREW. FROM COLLEGE AND
BUT I HAD ALREADY GRADUATED WHY
DID GO TO SERMON AND YOU
WOULDN'T. TO THE FALL BECAUSE I
TRANSFERRED FROM A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE TO SEE ISSUE AND THEN
SEE IF YOU DECIDE ONE OF MY
CLASSES DIDN'T COUNT AND I HAD
TO GO ANOTHER SEMESTER. THAT'S
FORTY YEARS AGO HOW DO YOU TO
ANOTHER HEAVY TOP RAMAN FOR
ANOTHER. TEN WEEKS. THE SMELL
THAT STUFF AND I JUST- I GOING
TO VOTE FOR THE BILL TODAY
BECAUSE I YOUR AUTHOR WORKING
HARD I'M ALSO GOING TO CHECK. A
WITH MY COLLEGES TO SEE WHAT'S
BEEN REJECTED. SO THOSE NUMBERS
THAT YOU LAID OUT WAS LIKE.
THERE'S SOME KIND OF DISCONNECT
THAT SO FEW THOSE COURSES ARE
BEING- YOU KNOW APPROVED IN
AGAIN THIS IS A STUDENTS TO
SUFFER. DO YOU HAVE ANY
INCLINATION WHY. WELL LET ME
JUST START OFF BY SAYING THAT
WITH THAT MYSELF AND- WE'RE WE
WERE ALSO MEMBERS OF THE CSU F.
AT THE CITY'S TASK FORCE. BUT HE
WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR IT HI TRYING
TO DEAL WITH MANY OF THESE
DIFFERENT ISSUES. SO AS OF.
DECEMBER BEEN FONG SAID. OF THE
COURSES THE STUDENTS HAVE
ALREADY TAKEN WOULD BE
GRANDFATHERED IN RIGHT THEY
WOULD NOT BE PUNISHED BY THE
WAY. FOR A NEW PROCESS TO. MOVE
FORWARD AND THE IDEA IS TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE CORRECT. THE
PROCESS THAT IS. REPERTORY TO
SOME OF THESE ISSUES WE-
AUTHENTIC ETHNIC STUDIES. ARE
NOT BEING APPROVED- AT THE RATE
THAT NOT ETHNIC CITY COURSES ARE
BEING APPROVED AND THAT'S FIRST
THE DEATH THE DYSFUNCTION. IN
THE PART OF THE PROCESS SO WE
WERE NOT GOING TO PUT A-
STUDENTS. FOR THE OUR MISTAKES
IN IN TERMS OF THE PROCESS WE
WANT TO MOVE FORWARD WITH A NEW
PROCESS AND UNDERSTANDING THAT-
STUDENTS WHO ARE CURRENTLY IN
THE PIPELINE WILL NOT BE
AFFECTED AS WELL BY THIS. IT
GIVES US A TIME TO TAKE IN. A
REVAMPED THE PROCESS AND MAKING
SURE THAT THE COURSE IS MOVING
FORWARD OUR AUTHENTIC ETHNIC
STUDIES COURSES YEAH I'M NOT IN
OTHER DISCIPLINES YOU WOULDN'T
WOULDN'T WANT A STUDENT TO TAKE.
MATH FROM P. A P. E. TEACHER
RIGHT OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT WE
EACH DISCIPLINE HAS TO SPECIFIC
CHARACTERISTICS. THAT ARE
REQUIRED FOR THEM TO MEET THOSE
AREAS SO WE JUST WANT TO MAKE
SURE MOVING FORWARD THAT THE
STUDENTS ARE GETTING THE
AUTHENTIC ETHNIC STUDIES COURSES
THAT AB FORTY SIXTY. INTENDED
RIGHT AND CURRENTLY THAT'S NOT
HAPPENING WE ARE CONFIDENT THAT
WE CAN TAKE AND MAKE THAT
HAPPEN. OKAY GREAT THANK YOU AND
THEN. I GOT ONE OF THE QUESTION
FOR YOU ASSUMING FONG BECAUSE I
HAD READ THAT NOW SIS. AND I SAW
AMERICAN JEWISH COMMITTEE IN IN
OPPOSITION I THOUGHT THAT WAS
KIND OF RANDOM. BUT WE DID HAVE
ONE OF THE PEOPLE ON THE PHONE-
IT. WAS CONCERNED ABOUT THIS
BILL DO YOU KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
WHAT THEY'RE BE FACING IS THERE
A WAY TO ADDRESS IT. THANK SO
MUCH US AND FOR THAT. AND IN
TERMS OF THE OPPOSITION FROM THE
JEWISH COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS-
SOMEBODY REFERENCE THAT SOMEBODY
MIGHT HAVE BEEN ANTI SEMITIC ON
THAT. COUNCIL NO WE DON'T SAN
FRANCISCO SUBMIT TO THEM AT ALL
AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT. IT
WAS TO. BE ON THE COUNCIL WILL
CALL OUT AND SO IF. ON THE CSU
ETHICS THAT IS COUNCIL OF THAT
IS FOUND TO BE TRUE- WE
DEFINITELY DON'T CONDONE THAT.
AT THE SAME TIME. THIS BILL DOES
NOT CHANGE ASSEMBLY BEFORE TEN
SIXTY- ONE MAKE SURE WOMEN IN
THE COR COMES IS AS REFERENCED
BY. DR OF TEQUILA THAT WAS JUST
REFERENCED EARLIER SO THANK YOU
. YEAH EXECUTIVE FREE THANK YOU
I AYE MAN SURE I'M NOT. WITH
OFFICE. AS YOU SEE. A NUMBER OF
CALLS AND LETTERS FROM JEWISH
COMMUNITY WITH THE C. CONCERN. I
THINK ONE OF THAT ONE OF. PHONE
WITNESSES ACTUALLY OR TO THAT
THAT THERE'S A PERCEPTION AT
LEAST THAT- THAT THE COUNCIL.
WHICH VETO POWERS IS SERVICES IS
DIRECTED. AGAINST THE ASSERTION
KNOWN TO TAKE POSITIONS. THAT
ARE HOSTILE. TO ISRAEL LIKE SO.

EXTERNAL EXTREMES TO THE BILL

HEARD FROM. MANY FOLKS GET CAN

SERIOUS CONCERN AND- APPRECIATE
THE TESTIMONY WAS PROVIDED
EARLIER. ON IN TERMS OF THE CSU
ETHICS THAT IS COUNCIL WE CAN
WORK WITH THE CSU SYSTEM TO
ADDRESS THOSE ISSUES. OF THAT IS
FOUND TO BE TRUE AND THAT'S VERY
CONCERNING TO ME THAT. IF THERE
IS AN ANTI SEMITIC VIEWS ON OUR
WITH A PHONE CALL IT UP WE DON'T
CONDONE IT. AND WE DON'T APPLY-
UP. I DON'T ANY ANTI SEMITISM IN
AN- ORGANIZATION'S. AND ALSO YOU
KNOW YOU KNOW IT'S CHAIRED TO
OBSERVERS POINT- I THINK THAT'S
A GOOD IDEA IN IN RE ENTERING
HEARING TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE
KIND OF IN DEPTH INSTRUCTIONS
RELATES. TO THE THREE SYSTEMS
RIGHT IN IN THIS THAT THE
COMPLEXITY. I WHICH I THINK
VOWED. THE CS USED. WHICH IS YOU
KNOW IS AND IN THE- COMPLEX

JOURNEYMEN AND MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE MY NAME IS HEATHER
BRANDT I MAY SYSTEM IMPACTED
WORKING STUDENT PARENT AND
MOTHER OF THREE. EMELEC IN A
MUSLIM AND THE FIRST IN MY
FAMILY TO ATTEND COLLEGE. I ALSO
RECENTLY GRADUATED AND I AM
CURRENTLY SERVING AS A STUDENT
TRUSTEE ON BEHALF OF THE SAN
FRANCISCO COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT AND I COME TO YOU
HAVING SERVED AS A DELEGATE ON
BEHALF OF OUR COLLEGE- WITHIN
THE STUDENT SENATE FOR
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGES
FOR THE PAST TWO YEARS. I WANT
TO SHARE WITH YOU THAT I BEGAN
MY EDUCATIONAL- MY COMMUNITY
COLLEGE EDUCATION IN TWO
THOUSAND ONE AT THE AGE OF
SEVENTEEN READ OUT OF HIGH
SCHOOL AND FULL OF HOPE. THERE
ARE TWO THINGS THAT CONTRIBUTED
TO MY EXTENDED STAY IN THE
CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY COLLEGE
SYSTEM LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES WHICH
ARE BEYOND ANYONE'S CONTROL. AND
THE CURRENT INEQUITABLE COURSE
REPEATABILITY POLICY. IN FACT
THE CURRENT COURSE REPEATABILITY
REPEATABILITY POLICY CAME INTO A
FACT WHILE I WAS ENROLLED AT CCS
F. OVER THE COURSE OF MY
EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY SOME OF THE
THINGS THAT I'VE BEEN FRONTED
ARE A POSITIVE USER
RELATIONSHIP. BEING THE PRIMARY
CARE CARE GIVER TO MY
GRANDMOTHER AS WELL AS MY MOTHER
WHO WERE BOTH DIAGNOSED WITH
ALZHEIMER'S DEMENTIA.
MISCARRIAGE AND THE
INCARCERATION OF MY SPOUSE WHO
BECAME PART OF THE OPIOID
EPIDEMIC IN THIS COUNTRY AFTER
HAVING BEEN PRESCRIBED NARCOTIC
PAIN KILLERS. I HAVE HAD TO DEAL
WITH A LOT DURING MY EDUCATIONAL
JOURNEY. BUT THAT IS HOW LIFE
IS. IT DOESN'T HAPPEN IN A
VACUUM. IT DOESN'T WORK TO
COINCIDE WITH ACADEMIC.
DEADLINES AND TIMELINES. SOME OF
THE EARTH MOST EARTH SHATTERING
EVENTS IN MY LIFE OF HAPPENED
DURING MID TIMES WERE THERE
AFTER WHEN IT WAS TOO LATE. TO
HAVE BEEN WITHDRAWN A COURSE.
DESPITE LIFE CIRCUMSTANCES. AS A
RESPONSIBLE ADULT WHEN POSSIBLE
I WITHDREW FROM COURSES WHEN
ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY. BUT AT
TIMES DUE TO THE PASSING OF
DEADLINES WAS LEFT LEFT WITH NO
OTHER CHOICE BUT TO FAIL THE
COURSES I HAD PAID FOR. WITH
BOTH TIME AND MONEY. LIKE MANY
CALIFORNIA COMMUNICABLE TO DO
THIS I DIDN'T REALIZE UNTIL IT
WAS TOO LATE THAT WITHDRAWS
COUNT TOWARDS ATTEMPTS. BUT WHAT
OTHER RECOURSE DO WE HAVE. DO
THE EXISTING LIMITATIONS ON
COURSE REPEATABILITY AND LYFT I
ENDED UP STAYING IN COMMUNITY
COLLEGE. SIGNIFICANTLY LONGER.
AS I WAS PREVENTED FROM
REPEATING THE TWO COURSES THAT I
NEEDED IN ORDER TO GRADUATE. ON
THE FLIP SIDE. I HAVE ALSO BEEN
IMPACTED BY THE CURRENT COURT
SHOULD BE DEBILITY POLICY WHEN I
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED A
PREREQUISITE COURSE THAT ENDED
UP EXPIRING. DUE TO A LAPSE IN
TIME BETWEEN STUDIES AND AS A
RESULT OF THE STATUE OF LIBERTY
LIMITATIONS THAT I WAS NOT
INFORMED ABOUT. AS A RESULT I
NEEDED AND WAS REQUIRED TO
RETAKE THE PREREQUISITE. I HAD
PREVIOUSLY SUCCESSFULLY
COMPLETED IN ORDER TO GET INTO A
SPECIFIC ACADEMIC PROGRAM BUT
COULDN'T AS I WAS PROHIBITED
FROM DOING SO DUE TO THE FACT
THAT I HAD ALREADY PASSED THE
COURSE. HERE'S WHAT I CAN TELL
YOU GIVEN THE WORK THAT I'VE
DONE TO SUPPORT COMMUNITY
COLLEGE STUDENTS AT CCS OFTEN A
CROWDED MISTREATMENT. BUT PLEASE
OKAY I'M TRYING I'M SORRY. OF MY
LIFE EXPERIENCES ARE NOT THE
EXCEPTION I HAVE SEEN HEARD AND
EXPERIENCE FIRST HAND HOW THE
CURRENT COURSE REPEATABILITY
POLICY DISPROPORTIONATELY
IMPACTS OUR MOST VULNERABLE. LOW
INCOME AND HOUSE JUSTICE
IMPACTED FORMER FOSTER YOUTH
STUDENTS OF COLOR. PARENTING
STUDENTS. AND AS PREVIOUSLY
MENTIONED ENGLISH AS A SECOND
LANGUAGE LEARNERS. SO I COME TO
YOU ON BEHALF. OF THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE STUDENTS OF
TODAY. WHO DON'T HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO BE HERE BEFORE
YOU AND SHARE THEIR EXPERIENCES
TO SAY WE NEED EFFECTIVE
POLICIES THAT ACKNOWLEDGE.

AGAIN MEMBER OF THE EDUCATION
COMMITTEE- ALYSSA BARDO BEHALF
OF EDUCATION TRUST WEST- DATA
DRIVEN. OR COMMITTED CLOSING
ACHIEVEMENT OPPORTUNITY GAPS. I
FIRST WANT TO IGNORE THAT WE
BEEN INCOME WITH THE OFF AND
GREATLY A- YOU KNOW SOMEONE OVER
TAKING STEP TOWARD SOME OF OUR
CONCERN THROUGH. AND HOWEVER WE
REMAIN THAT WITHOUT FRAZIER
GUARDRAILS IN PLACE AB EIGHT
ELEVEN WILL NEGATIVELY IMPACT
STUDENTS TIME 2 DEGREES AND
COLLEGE AFFORDABILITY. WE
SPECIFICALLY REQUESTED TO
AMENDMENTS THAT WOULD ADDRESS
OUR MAIN CONCERNS. FIRST
REMOVING ENGLISH AS A SECOND
LANGUAGE OR ESL FOR THINGS FROM
THE PROVISION THAT WOULD ALLOW
STUDENTS TO REPEAT CERTAIN
COURSES THEY HAVE ALREADY
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED. THANKS
THE EQUITABLE PLACEMENT
COMPLETION REFORMS ENACTED BY
THE LEGISLATURE IN RECENT YEARS
EDUCATION CODE REQUIRES COLLEGES
TO MAXIMIZE THE COMPLETION OF
TRANSFER LEVEL ENGLISH COURSES
WITHIN THREE YEARS FOR ESL
STUDENTS. ENSURING THAT THEY'RE
NOT. REQUIRED TO TAKE MORE
FOURTH THAN US. WAS IT SHOULD BE
INCENTIVE TO INVEST IN SUPPORT
TO IMPROVE OUTCOMES FOR ESL
STUDENTS RATHER THAN EXTEND THE
AMOUNT OF TIME ESL STUDENTS
RENDON PRE TRANSFER LEVEL COURSE
WITH THEIR BY. COSTING THEM TIME
IN AND MORE MONEY. SECOND WE
REQUESTED AN AMENDMENT THAT
WOULD LIMIT THE EXPANSION OF
REPETITION UP TO FIVE TIMES TO
RETURNING STUDENTS ONLY. AGAIN
THANKS TO EQUITABLE PLACEMENT
COMPLETION OF REFORMS CURRENT
STATUTE REQUIRES COLLEGES TO
MAXIMIZE THE PROBABILITY THAT A
STUDENT WILL ENTER AND COMPLETE
TRANSFER LEVEL ENGLISH AND MATH
WITHIN A ONE YEAR TIME FRAME.
THIS IS AN EVIDENCE BASED
STANDARD INFORMED BY DECADES OF
RESEARCH DEMONSTRATING THAT
STUDENTS ARE MORE LIKELY TO
PERSIST AND ACHIEVE THEIR GOALS
WHEN THEY COMPLETE GATEWAY
COURSE WITHIN THAT TIME FRAME.
ESPECIALLY WHEN STUDENTS ARE
PROVIDED WITH CONCURRENT
SUPPORTS THAT MEET THE STUDENT
WHERE THEY'RE AT AND HELP THEM
SUCCEED ON THE FIRST TRY.
HOWEVER THE REPETITION POLICY
PROPOSED BY THIS BILL TWO AND A
HALF YEARS OF REPEATING AND
FAILING THE SAME COURSE DIRECTLY
CONTRADICTS THE EVIDENCE BASED
STANDARD. BY LIMITING THE
EXPANSION OF THE POLICY TO
RETURNING STUDENT WHO MAY HAVE
MAXED OUT THEIR REPEAT ATTEMPTS
AND CONSEQUENTLY DROPPED OUT OF
COLLEGE. THIS AMENDMENT WILL
ENSURE. THAT COLLEGES REMAIN
FOCUSED ON PROVIDING STUDENTS
WITH THE SUPPORT THEY NEED TO
FEED ON THEIR FIRST ATTEMPT.
EXPANSION OF COURSE REPETITION
IS NOT AN INVENTOR. IN
INTERVENTION THAT WILL HELP
STUDENTS SUCCEED IN THE
CLASSROOM. HI IMPACT AN EVIDENCE
BASED STRATEGIES LIKE CO
REQUISITE AND EMBEDDED TUTORING
WILL. GO INSTEAD OF BROADENING
COURSE REPETITION POLICIES AND
ALLOWING COLLEGES TO DOT DOWN
APPORTIONMENT FOR THOSE
ADDITIONAL REPEAT THE TIMES. WE
MUST MAINTAIN APPROPRIATE
GUARDRAILS AND FOCUS OUR LIMITED
RESOURCES ON ENSURING THAT EVERY
STUDENT. IS RECEIVING THE
SUPPORT THEY NEED TO SUCCEED ON
THEIR FIRST TRY. WITHOUT THESE
ADDITIONAL MEN AMENDMENTS WE
MUST RESPECTFULLY APPLY OPPOSED.
ENOUGH FOR KNOW ABOUT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU AS ANY OTHER PRIMARY
WITNESSES IN A POSITION. WELCOME
GOOD MORNING CHINAMEN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS DAVID RAMIREZ I AND THE
TRANSFER CENTER FROM UCLA AT
PASADENA CITY COLLEGE. AS A
FIRST GENERATION STUDENT AND THE
SON OF MEXICAN IMMIGRANTS FROM
THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY I WAS
TRY TRANSFERRED. AND COMMUNICATE
AFTER FOUR YEARS. I WAS LUCKY
THOUGH BECAUSE MY COMMUNITY
COLLEGE WAS AMONG. IF I SURE OF
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS FOR THE UC
STUDENT ASSOCIATION I'M MORE
CONCERNED THAT THIS BILL SENDS A
MESSAGE LOW INCOME STUDENTS OF
COLOR. THAT THEY SHOULD BELIEVE
THAT THE IN ORDER TO GET INTO
CSU OR UC AND THEY NEED TO TRY
AGAIN AND AGAIN TO GET THE BEST
POSSIBLE GRADE IN THE COURSE
THAT THEY'VE ALREADY PASSED.
ALTHOUGH I WOULD LOVE TO TRUST
THE ACADEMIC ADVISING WILL BE
CONSISTENT AND REFUTING THIS
BELIEF I HAVE HEARD FROM FAR TOO
MANY STUDENTS. WHO ARE ALSO
GIVEN A FALSE GUIDANCE AND WORDS
OF DISCOURAGEMENT JUST AS I WAS
. THE FIRST AND LAST TIME I EVER
SAW ACADEMIC ADVISING I WAS TOLD
I WASN'T QUALIFIED TO TRANSFER
INTO FEEL LIKE BECAUSE OF MY
GRADES. AS WE SEE IN OUR FROM
DECADES OF RESEARCH AND STUDENT
SUCCESS AND COMPLETION. THE MORE
UNITS A STUDENT TAKES TO
TRANSFER TO COMPLETE THEIR
DEGREE THE LESS LIKELY THEY ARE
TO FINISH. BECAUSE STUDENTS END
UP ACCUMULATING THAT. USING
THEIR LIMITED FINANCIAL AID AND
ARE ULTIMATELY DISCOURAGE. THIS
BILL COMES OF GOOD INTENTIONS
AND I'M VERY HAPPY TO SEE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WERE MADE.
HOWEVER YES YES THEY REMAINS
CONCERNED ABOUT COLLEGES ABILITY
TO COMPLY WITH THESE PROVISIONS.
FOR EXAMPLE DISTRICTS LIKE THE
LOS ANGELES COMMUNITY COLLEGE
DISTRICT I REFUSED TO FULLY
COMPLY WITH A B. SEVEN OH FIVE
TO THIS DAY. AND IF YOU'RE THE
BY INCREASING THE NUMBER OF
TIMES A STUDENT CAN REPEAT AND
REFILL COURSE. THE TWO AND A
HALF YEARS A LOOPHOLE WILL
REMAIN AROUND COLLEGES
OBLIGATION TO MAXIMIZE
COMPLETION OF TRANSFER LEVEL
ENGLISH AND MATH. WITHIN ONE
YEAR AND WIND BACK THE SUCCESS
OF AB SEVEN OH FIVE IN AB
SEVENTEEN OH FIVE. THIS BILL
PROPOSES THAT WE AS A SYSTEM GO
BACK IN TIME RATHER THAN
CREATING A SYSTEM WHERE STUDENTS
GET IN AND OUT AS SOON AS
POSSIBLE. A TRULY STUDENTS A
STUDENT CENTERED INSTITUTIONS
SHOULD BE ABLE TO INTERVENE.
WITH STUDENT SUPPORT SERVICES
AND ACCOMMODATION WHEN LIFE GETS
IN THE WAY. OF A STUDENTS PURSUE
A HIGHER EDUCATION. THIS BILL
SHIFTS THE BLAME ON THE STUDENT
AND SHIFTS THE OTHER
RESPONSIBILITY AWAY FROM THE
COLLEGES. FROM PROVIDING THE
THIS THE NECESSARY SUPPORT
SERVICES- THAT STUDENTS DESERVE
TO SUCCEED ON THEIR FIRST TRY.
IN REGARDS TO THE LIVING
CIRCUMSTANCES AND I THINK AND I
RESPECTFULLY ACT. ASK THAT YOU
VOTE NO ON THE BILL. THANK YOU

BILL PLEASE COME FORWARD SIX

CURRENTLY NINE FURTHER IN Q. NOW
LET'S GO BACK TO THE ROOM COLLIE
BECAUSE ARE COMING FOR THE SIM
MEMBER REGARD A BE A LOT I'M
SORRY ELEVEN ELEVEN. ELEVEN BILL
. WELL FACILITY THE CONVERSE HE
- M. YOU KNOW I'M JUST KIND OF
CURIOUS- I FROM THE OPPOSITE WE
HAD A OF WHAT THE GROUPS AB
SPEAKING OPPOSITE TO THE I AM- I
WOULD TO HEAR- JUST IN IN IN A
MIN- BRIEFING SOME OF THE
CONCERN AS TO WHY MANY OF THE
LAW. GROUPS ARE IN OFFICE TO
THIS BILL. IS THERE ANY LIKE
THIS ON THE OF. THAT UP- WE WERE
TAKEN TO WITH ADDRESS WEST
WORKING WITH A AUTHOR I'M IT'S
MOSTLY AROUND THE ESL- I'M
AMENDMENT BUT ALSO CONCERNS
AROUND- OF THE WAY IT AFFECTS
FINANCIAL AID AND SATISFACTORY
ACADEMIC PROGRESS. IN HOW DOES
IT AFFECT THE FINANCIAL A PARTY
JUST FOR CLARIFICATIONS FOR THE
PUBLIC SURE I'M A STATE
FINANCIAL AID OR JUST FINANCIAL
AID ONLY COVERS THE FIRST TIME
YOU COVER THANK YOU. TAKE THE
COURSE AND IF YOU FAIL THE
SECOND TIME ANYTIME AFTER THAT-
IT NO LONGER COVERS YOUR COURSE.
AND THEN- FOR SATISFACTORY
ACADEMIC PROGRESS THE LONGER
YOU'RE IN. THE LONGER YOU'RE IN
SCHOOL WITHOUT PROGRESSING IN
YOUR DEGREE IT AFFECTS YOUR THAT
IS FACTORY ACADEMIC PROGRESS.
THE LONG WHAT IS A AND IS A
SAID. ACADEMIC PROGRESS IT'S A
REQUIREMENT- IT'S A SET OF
REQUIREMENTS- SET BY FINANCIAL
AID THAT YOU MAINTAIN A CERTAIN
GPA THAT YOU TAKE A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF CLASSES THAT YOU
COMPLETE THEM IN A SET NUMBER OF
YEARS- SO THE LONGER YOU'RE- IN
A SEGMENT OR IN COLLEGE- WITH.
THE NUMBER OF UNITS THAT YOU
TAKE SO IF YOU KEEP ACCUMULATING
UNITS- THAT DON'T COUNT TOWARDS
A TRANSFER OR A CERTIFICATE IT
COULD ALSO AFFECT YOUR
ELIGIBILITY. KIND OF. THIRTY
SYSTEM IS THE SYSTEM THAT WOULD
BE IMPACTED THAT WOULD ADAM.
ACTUALLY AB AND BE A DISSERVICE
TO THE STUDENTS IF THEY MOVE
FORWARD SO CURRENTLY THE SYSTEM
WE THEY CAN THEY CAN REPEAT OF
COURSE AFTER THREE TIMES
CORRECT. AND THE FIRST NAME IS
COVERED BY FINANCIAL AID THE
SECOND TIME AND THIRD TIME THIS
YEAR WILL BE PERSONALLY
RESPONSIBLE. FOR THE THIRD TIME.
THE THIRD TIME THIS YEAR WILL BE
RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR THAT
COURSE. BUT. IF THE STUDENT
WANTS THAT. YOU KNOW IT SHOULD
BE THAT LEFT UP TO THEM TO PAY
FOR IT I'M ASSUMING I THINK THE
CONCERN THAT I WOULD HAVE THOUGH
IS THE IMPACT THAT IT WOULD
HAVE. AND THEIR ABILITY TO- DO
NOT OVER ACCUMULATE THE V- THE
CREDITS THAT WOULD BE A- OF A
DISSERVICE TO THEM TO BE ABLE TO
PURSUE- THEIR THEIR ACADEMIC AT
STEP- TRANSFERRING NUMBER TO
THEIR ACADEMIC- STANDING IS THAT
CORRECT IS THAT. IN THE JUST OF
IT. YES IT ALSO IMPACTS
FINANCIAL AID IN RELATION TO
SORT OF START SATISFACTORY
ACADEMIC PROGRESS WHICH OF THE
FEDERAL STANDARD BY WHICH OUR
STUDENTS HAVE TO MAINTAIN A
CERTAIN PACE OF COMPLETION- AND
CAN'T GO AND A CERTAIN LEVEL OF
UNIT SO THEY CAN EXCEED A
HUNDRED FIFTY PERCENT. OF THEIR
UNIT- AND THAT IS A COMPLEX
FINANCIALLY POLICIES WHERE THINK
MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THAT
POTENTIAL IMPACTS BECAUSE-
SOMETIMES EARLY ON INNOCENT
ACADEMIC CAREER THEY MAY NOT BE
AWARE OF WHAT THE SAP
REQUIREMENTS ARE. AND HOW
RETAKING A QUARRY COULD
POTENTIALLY IMPACT THEIR STOP.
SO TWO THINGS ONE WITH THE
STUDENT BE ABLE IF THIS BILL
WERE TO PASS WITH THE STUDENT BE
ABLE TO BE COMPLETELY AND FULLY
INFORMED OF A- POTENTIAL
CONSEQUENCES OF. REPEATING THE
COURSES MULTIPLE TIMES. IN ORDER
TO ADD TO MITIGATE THOSE
CONCERNS AND NUMBER TWO. AND I
DON'T KNOW HOW THIS WOULD WORK
BUT OBVIOUSLY THIS BILL WOULD
IMPACT THE FINANCIAL- WHILE
VACATIONS AB IS STUDENT AID FOR
THOSE FOR THE IMPACT THAT
STUDENTS SO. HAVE YOU HAVE YOU
FOLKS HAD ANY CONVERSATIONS
WITH- THE POWERS THAT BE FOR
FINANCIAL AID TO ACCOMMODATE AND
WORK ALONGSIDE. THE CUSTOMER
SERVICE CENTER FOR THE GREAT
QUESTION ON TERMS OF THE
OPPOSITION'S AMENDMENTS AND YOU
TO- WE TOOK A NUMBER OF THE JULY
THIRD AMENDMENTS ARE PROPOSED
AND INCLUDING REQUIRING SPECIFIC
INFORMATION. TO BE PROVIDED TO
THE STUDENTS WHO WISHES TO
REPORT OF COURSE INCLUDING
IMPACT ON A STUDENT'S
ELIGIBILITY FOR FEDERAL AID. AND
STATE FINANCIAL AID AND ALSO
LOOK INTO COLLEGES SATISFACTORY.
ACADEMIC POLICIES FOR THE NUMBER
OF AND PACE OF COURSES TAKEN SO
WITH THE TAKE A MOMENT THAT WAS
ON THE AGENDA EARLIER. AND THE
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHAT IS
CONSIDERED PASSING GRADE FOR
FEDERAL. VERSUS STATE FINANCIAL
AID SO WITH THE TAKE THAT AND
THEN. THE FIRE THE VACANCY
CONCERNS OF THE OPPOSITION NO.
PARTICULAR AMENDMENT IN REGARDS
TO FINANCIAL AID AND AID
NOTIFICATION YES OUR REMAINING
CONCERNS ARE WITH THE ESL
COMPONENT- OF A REPEATING OF
COURSE IT DIDN'T HAVE ALREADY
SUCCESSFULLY COMPLETED- BECAUSE-
WE DON'T AND WE DON'T THINK
THERE IS JUST. FOR AS SOON
RETAIN AND YES OF COURSE THAT
IT'S FREE TO LOVE WHEN THEY'RE
OTHER WHEN THEY ALREADY FOR THE
FULL COMPLETED- ENGLISH THAT
THEY CAN TAKE INCLUDING TRANSFER
LEVEL COURSES. THAT WOULD COUNT
TOWARDS- AN ACADEMICAL TO
TRANSFER. YES SURVEYCOMPARE THE
THINK USE THAT THERE'S BETTER
MORE PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO EDUCATE
RIGHT AS OPPOSED TO LETTING SOME
TO TAKE THE SAME COURSE AGAIN.
IT IN LIEU OF EITHER
INTERVENTIONS OR OTHER KINDS OF
SUPPORT GUIDANCE EDUCATION ISN'T
THAT FAIR PARAPHRASING. YEAH
YEAH OKAY FRAZIER. ANY OTHER
COMMENTS MEMBERS COMMITTEE- I SO
I WAS YOU KNOW WE READ TO- BUT
YOU CLEARLY GIVEN. BOTH THE- AND
NUMBER. OF DIFFERENT PARTIES
THAT HAVE. VERY DIFFERENT
PERCEPTIONS ABOUT HOW BEST. TO
DO THIS I THINK IT'S FAIR AT
SOME POINT S. THE QUESTION
WHAT'S THE PROBLEM WE'RE TRYING
TO SOLVE- AND ARE WE DOING THIS
IN IN IN IN A- IN A WAY THAT
ACTUALLY DOESN'T CREATE
ADDITIONAL. WRINKLES THAT ARE
GOING TO BE IN NEED OF SOLUTION.
AB SO WITH THAT ARE YOU KNOW I'D
URGE YOU TO CONTINUE WORKING.
WITH THE OPPOSITION- ALL RIGHT
I'M GRATEFUL- THAT YOU WERE
THOUGHTFUL AND YOU ACCEPTED THE
COMMITTEES. AMENDMENTS BUT
CLEARLY IS A BUNCH OF OTHER WORK
THAT STILL NEEDS TO BE DONE TO
SATISFY. SURE THAT THE LARGER
PROBLEM OF- ONE OF THE DRESS.
THESE ARE THE OPPORTUNITY ED TO
SERVE ELEMENT THIS BUT ALSO MAKE
SURE THAT IT DOESN'T INTERFERE.
WITH OTHER PROGRAMS FOR WITH THE
SYSTEM'S ABILITY TO PROVIDE
RESOURCES AND GUIDANCE TO
STUDENTS- AND WITH THAT WE WOULD
YOU LIKE TO CLOSE SOON. I THANK
YOU SO MUCH- MISTER CHAIRMAN. I
THINK IT TO ERIN FOR COMMENT AS
WELL. AS PART OF THIS UP WE ALSO
WOULD REQUIRE CHEMICAL LOGISTIC
DATA. AS TO WHY STATE ARE NOT
PASSING COURSE THAT THEY HAPPEN
NOT TO PASS OF COURSE. AND WE
KNOW. THE SUPPORTS FAMILY IN A-
AND THE SERRANO ACADEMIC. FOR
STUDENTS HAVE THE THIRD ATTEMPT
THIS CRITICAL BUT ALSO AS PART
OF THE AMENDMENTS. ALSO REQUIRE
COLLEGES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT
AFTER STUDENT FILLS A TRANSFER
LEVEL MATH OR ENGLISH COURSE THE
FIRST TIME AS WELL. AND SO THAT
WAS PART OF THE JULY THIRD.
AMENDMENTS AS WELL AND SO REALLY
APPRECIATE. THOSE COMMENTS AS
WELL AND WE GET THIS IS AS YOU
HEARD FROM OUR STUDENTS RUSTY
FROM SAN FRANCISCO LIFE
EXTENUATING CIRCUMSTANCES. IF
YOU DO NOT IT- IF LIFE COMES
AWAY WITH THIS. YOU HAVE TO TAKE
ON A SECOND JOB WHETHER YOU FELT
TO TAKE CARE OF. IS AS YOU
MENTIONED- AND. YOU THAT HAD
TAKEN A COURSE. THREE THEY ARE
NOT ALLOWED THAT COURSE. AGAIN
AND US WE WANTED TO SPUR PREVENT
ANYONE FROM TRANSFERRING OR TO-
TO REALLY CONTINUE ON UNDER
EDUCATIONAL JOURNEY SO THAT'S
WERE TO REALLY TRYING TO DO IS
PROVIDE THAT THIS AN
OPPORTUNITY. AS PART OF THIS
LEGISLATION AND ALSO LIFELONG
LEARNING AS WELL AND THE
HUMANITIES AND OTHER AREAS.
SERVICE IN THE PAST OF COURSE
WOULD DETECT A MOMENT ALSO TO.
LIMIT TO ONE ADDITIONAL TIME IF
THEY GOT A SATISFACTORY. I
GRADE. BUT AND WE KNOW THAT THIS
IS A FIVE YEAR PILOT AS WELL AS
PART OF THE LANGUAGE. BUT ALSO
LOOK AT HOW CAN BE COLLEGES CAN.
COLLECT DATA AS TO. THE STUDENTS
ARE NOT PASSING WHAT ADDITIONAL
SUPPORTS WIRED ENOUGH PASSING SO
WE HAVE ADDITIONAL. HUD TOOLS IN
OUR TOOLBOX TO MAKE SURE THAT
STUDENTS CAN CONTINUE. IN OUR
ACADEMIC JOURNEY HERE IN OUR TO
MAKE COLLEGE AS- WE KNOW THAT
ALSO OR A- NEW CULTURES ARE DOWN
EIGHTEEN NINETEEN PERCENT.
ACROSS CALIFORNIA SOME DOWN-
OVER A QUARTER OF TWENTY FIVE
PERCENT. SO DISTANT OPPORTUNITY
TO. BRING BACK STUDENTS AS WELL
SO THIS IS OUR SOME THE REASONS
WE'RE TRYING. TO RESERVE- WHICH

I GUESS ONCE AGAIN I HAVE TO.
MAY GET SOME OF THE CA. HERE SO
M. I KNOW IS THAT THERE IS NO
OFFICE. NO FORMAL OF A THAT AT
LEAST SEED FOR. AND IS A FORMER
ENGLISH LANGUAGE- LEARNER. I'VE
OFFENSE. AB IT BE GREAT IF OUR
STUDENTS COULD HAVE- SUBJECT
MATTER. I COULD DIRECT MATTER IN
THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE WHEN
POSSIBLE AND FEASIBLE ADAMS BE
TAUGHT SO THAT THEY CAN- ADVANCE
ACADEMICALLY WHILE THEY LEARN
ENGLISH AND NOT FALL BACK
ACADEMICALLY BECAUSE MANY OF OUR
ENGLISH LANGUAGE ARTS STUDENTS
HAVE SO MUCH POTENTIAL. THAT YOU
KNOW AB IT KIND OF SLOWS DOWN
THEIR ACADEMIC- AB. ABILITY TO
LEARN AND- WITH THIS PARTICULAR
BELL- WITH THIS REQUIREMENT I
APPRECIATE THAT THE FACT THAT WE
WOULD ALLOW PEOPLE TO LEARN- AND
TAKE CLASSES IN THE NAY IN IN IN
THEIR IN APP IN A PRIMARY
LANGUAGE- BUT I AM CONCERNED
THAT- IN I DON'T KNOW PERHAPS
YOU COULD ENLIGHTEN ME IS THERE
ANY REQUIREMENT. SAY THAT. RIGHT
NOW THIS I ACTUALLY APPRECIATE
THE FACT THAT THEY'RE REQUIRED
TO TAKE AN ENGLISH. CLASS
BECAUSE IT ALLOWS AND EMPOWERS
THEM TO BE ABLE TO FUNCTION IN
OUR SOCIETY- IN THIS COUNTRY IN
IN A IN A OPTIMAL WAY. AB WHEN
YOU ARE AT. ENGLISH SUFFICIENT
THERE ARE A LOT OF BARRIERS THAT
THAT HAPPENED I WHEN YOU'RE NOT
ABLE TO ACCOMMODATE- A LANGUAGE-
TRANSLATOR OR A- LANGUAGE
TRANSLATION OF A DOCUMENTS SO AB
AND WE DON'T ALWAYS HAVE IN
EVERY SINGLE LANGUAGE THE
ABILITY TO BE ABLE TO DO THAT.
SAID TO ME AB I BELIEVE THAT
IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT EVERY.
EVERY PERSON THAT EMIGRATES OR
MIGRATES TO OUR TO THIS COUNTRY
HAS THE ABILITY ART IS HAS IN
INITIATIVE OR NOT INITIATIVE. IN
INCENTIVE OR A DESIRE TO LEARN
THE LANGUAGE OF. THE UNITED
STATES- TO BE ABLE TO BE FULLY
FUNCTIONAL- PARTICIPANTS SO
WITHIN THIS BILL. I'M WITHIN
THIS NEW SYSTEM. WOULD THERE BE
A REQUIREMENT TO SHOW SOME LEVEL
OF PROFICIENCY IN ENGLISH- A
BASIC FUNCTIONAL- UNDERSTAND
ENGLISH SO THAT WE KNOW THAT
THEY'RE MOVING FORWARD- IN THAT
IT MAYBE NOT CONCURRENTLY BY
PERHAPS. TAKING A TEST IN LIEU
OF A CLASS- IF THAT IS NECESSARY
FOR ADAM. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE
OR WOULD BE ACTUALLY WE HAVE TO
THINK ABOUT THAT BUT IS THERE
SOME SORT OF. AN INCENTIVE TO
MAKE SURE THAT. THEY'RE
CONTINUING OUT THERE THERE.
THEY'RE LEARNING- OF THE ENGLISH
LANGUAGE. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THE CENTER FOR THE A VERY
IMPORTANT QUESTION A TERMS OF
LEARNING THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE
WINNER THAT. WAS COURSES MUST BE
TAKEN IN ENGLISH AND IT'S ALSO
REGULATION AND STATUES FOR THE
ENGLISH COURSES I WOULD
DISABILITIES JUST PROVIDE AN
OPTION FOR CLASS BE TAUGHT IN
THE NATIVE. LANGUAGE WILL ALSO
THE CSU IN THE UC SYSTEM THERE'S
GUIDELINES FOR GENERAL EDUCATION
COURSEWORK WHICH INDICATES THAT
ENGLISH IS ALSO THE ONLY
QUESTION IS. TAUGHT IN ENGLISH
SO TO PLAN ON. REALLY WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT WE'RE PROVIDING OPTION
FOR STUDENTS A CLASS OF ONE. I
THINK HE HAS. THE CHANCE. I HAD
SURE THIS DOES NOT STOP. THE
RURAL VERY SUCCESS. AND VERY
POPULAR YES- PROGRAM THAT WE
HAVE THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ADULT EDUCATION THE
PRINCIPAL COURSES THAT ARE
OFFERED THROUGH ADULT EDUCATION
IS INDEED. LANGUAGE ACQUISITION
ENGLISH THIS DOES NOT SUPPLANT
ANY THAT ROBUST SYSTEM IS SIMPLY
MAKES AN ADDITIONAL AVENUE
AVAILABLE OF THE LANGUAGE HELPS
TO BRIDGE CONTENT. RICH ACCESS
TO HIGHER EDUCATION AND REALLY
IN SOME MEASURES ALLOWS THE SOME
OF THE CONTENT KNOWLEDGE THAT
MANY IMMIGRANTS HAVE FROM THEIR
NATIVE COUNTRIES TO BRING IT IN.
IN THEIR NATIVE LANGUAGE IT'S
NOT JUST SPANISH IS THAT A WHOLE
VARIETY OF LANGUAGES THAT WE
HAVE TESTED AT THE LACC I LOVE
THAT. IT COMPLEMENT LATELY IS
THAT SOMEONE OTHER PATHWAYS SAYS
THE OTHER A BEAR HOW TO TAKE THE
IS SO SMALL FOR WORKING DON'T
HAVE THE EXTRA TIME TAKE TO
CLASSES. IT JUST ALLOWS FOR AN
ADDITIONAL. ACCESSIBLE PATHWAY
IF THEY TAKE NONCREDIT COURSE IN
BUSINESS OR AN IN HOME CHILD
CARE OR WHATEVER DISCIPLINE THEY
MIGHT BE CONSTRUCTION. IN THE
NONCREDIT SPACE IT'S FREE OF
CHARGE. THERE'S NO COST SO IT'S
WITHIN THE- LARGER ADULT
EDUCATION A PROGRAM IS
OFFICIALLY ENVISIONED- BUT IT
COMPLEMENTS WHAT'S ALREADY
AVAILABLE AND THAT'S THE PLAN I
WANT TO MAKE SURE. THAT WE MAKE
SURE THEY WERE INCENTIVIZE US HE
WANTS TO CONTINUE THEIR ENGLISH-
IT'S NOT IN LIEU. OKAY
COMPLEMENT AFFECT IN THAT CASE
I'M I'M GRATEFUL FOR THE BILL
TODAY AND I LOOK FORWARD TO
SUPPORTING I JUST WANNA MAKE
SURE THAT. WE INCENTIVIZE WE
REALLY ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO LEARN
AB DEALER IN ENGLISH SO THAT
THEY CAN BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL-

REGULATIONS THE LEAD TESTING
CENTER FOR CHILD CARE CENTERS IS
SET. AT FIVE PARTS PER BILLION.
AB TWO FORTY NINE BUILT ON THAT
IMPORTANT WORK BY REQUIRING
SCHOOLS AND COMMUNITY WATER
SYSTEMS TO COLLABORATE ON A
COMPREHENSIVE SAMPLING PLAN. TO
TEST FOR LEAD IN DRINKING WATER
AND FOOD PREPARATION OUTLETS
USING A FIVE PARTS PER BILLION.
THRESHOLD A STANDARD USED IN
MANY OTHER STATES INCLUDING
MARYLAND. MONTANA AND
WASHINGTON. FAUCETS AND OUTLETS
THAT TEST HIGHER THAN THE LEAD
THRESHOLD ARE REQUIRED TO BE
SHUT DOWN AND EITHER REPLACED OR
PROPERLY FILTERED. FILTERED
BECAUSE TRANSPARENCY IS SO
IMPORTANT. AND SUCH AN IMPORTANT
PART OF THIS PROCESS SCHOOLS
MUST NOTIFY PARENTS IF OUTLETS
AT THEIR CHILD'S SCHOOL TESTS
ABOVE THE LEAD THRESHOLD. AND
THE STATE WATER BOARD IS
REQUIRED TO MAKE ALL THE TESTING
RESULTS PUBLICLY AVAILABLE BY
POSTING THEM ON ITS WEBSITE
WEBSITE. FROM THE LEAD IN WATER
DATA CURRENTLY AVAILABLE THROUGH
THE LIMITED TESTING CONDUCTED TO
COMPLY WITH EIGHTY SEVEN FORTY
SIX WE KNOW THAT NEARLY ONE IN
FIVE CALIFORNIA SCHOOLS. HAVE
WATER OUTLETS THAT ARE EMITTING.
LEAD AMOUNTS HIGHER THAN FIVE
PARTS PER BILLION. UNFORTUNATELY
THAT TESTING AROUND ONLY REQUIRE
TESTING OF ONE TO FIVE WATER
OUTLETS AT EACH SCHOOL. WHAT'S
WORSE IS THAT SOME SCHOOL
DISTRICTS WERE ABLE TO KEEP
THEIR LEAD LEACHING FAUCETS
OPERATIONAL BY FLUSHING THEM. A
TECHNICAL A TERM WHEREBY A
FAUCET IS LEFT TO RUN FOR THIRTY
SECONDS AND THEN RETESTED. A
TWENTY TWENTY STUDY BY THE
CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL AND
THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AB SEVEN
FORTY SIX ESTIMATED THAT IT
ACTION LEVEL. OF FIVE PARTS PER
BILLION WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN A
NINE FOLD INCREASE IN THE AMOUNT
OF SCHOOLS. REQUIRED TO
REMEDIATE THEIR DRINKING WATER.
FROM THE DATA WE HAVE WE KNOW
THERE ARE MANY FAUCETS LEACHING
LEAD AT SCHOOLS OUR CHILDREN ARE
ATTENDING AND MANY OF THE
SCHOOLS ARE CONCENTRATED IN LOW
INCOME AREAS. PREDOMINANTLY
ATTENDED BY STUDENTS OF COLOR.
TESTING DATA FROM CHILD CARE
CENTERS RELEASED EARLIER THIS
YEAR SO THAT OVER ONE IN FOUR
EXCEEDED THE FIVE PARTS PER
BILLION ACTION LEVEL. AND WE'RE
REQUIRED TO REMEDIATE THOSE
WATER OUTLETS. OUTCOMES LIKE
THIS SHOW US. JUST HOW IMPORTANT
THESE LEAD TESTING POLICIES ARE.
TESTIFYING IN SUPPORT OF AB TWO
FORTY NINE IS JAKE A COGNOS A
FORMER ELEMENTARY SCHOOL.
TEACHER AND NORRLAND FROM
CHILDREN NOW. WELL YOU HAVE TO
MINUTES GOOD AFTERNOON MR
CHAIRMAN MR TELEVOTE. MY NAME IS
NORA LYNN AND I'M WITH CHILDREN
NOW THE STATE WIDE POLICY
RESEARCH AND ADVOCACY
ORGANIZATION. WE'RE PROUD TO CO
SPONSOR AB TWO FORTY NINE ALONG
WITH ENVIRONMENTAL WORKING GROUP
. THIS BILL IMPLEMENTS A
COMPREHENSIVE WATER TESTING AND
LEAD REMEDIATION APPROACH FOR
THE STATE'S TITLE ONE SCHOOLS.
BUILDING ON AB TWENTY THREE
SEVENTY BY MR HOLDEN. AND AB
SEVEN FOUR SIX BY MS GONZALEZ
FLETCHER. IN ADDITION TO BEING A
CHILDREN'S HEALTH ISSUE LEAD
EXPOSURE IS AN ENVIRONMENTAL
JUSTICE ISSUE. A U. S. EPA
ANALYSIS FOUND THAT COMMUNITIES
OF COLOR AND LOW INCOME
NEIGHBORHOODS ARE AT A
DISPROPORTIONATE RISK OF LEAD
EXPOSURE IN DRINKING WATER. LEAD
POISONING SCREENING RATES FOR
CHILDREN IN META CAL ARE LOW.
61% OF KIDS WITH MEDIC HELL WERE
SCREENED FOR LED BY THEIR SECOND
BIRTHDAY STATE WIDE WITH ONLY
45% OF BLACK KIDS BEING TESTED.
THIS MEANS TOO MANY KIDS MAY BE
FALLING THROUGH PREVENTION
SAFETY NETS. MANY OF CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS OF COLOR ALSO IN
DISPROPORTIONATELY OLDER MORE
FINANCIALLY INSECURE DISTRICTS.
EDUCATORS AND SCHOOL EMPLOYEES
ARE ALSO AT RISK LEAD EXPOSURE
ON ADULTS IS LINKED WITH AN
INCREASE IN MORTALITY AT 37% FOR
ALL CAUSES. 70% FOR
CARDIOVASCULAR AND A HUNDRED AND
8% FOR HEART DISEASE. DATA FROM
THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES INDICATES THAT IN 95%
OF CASES REPLACING THE FAUCET
ITSELF REMEDIATE LEAD EXCEEDED
SAYS TO BELOW FIVE PARTS PER
BILLION. THIS MEANS THE BILL IS
NOT REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO RIP UP
THEIR WALLS TO FIX LET ISSUES.
THE PROBLEMS CAN EITHER BE FIXED
AT THE FAUCET OR WITH A FILTER.
THIS TESTING AND REMEDIATION IN
AB TWO FORTY NINE NEEDS TO START
AS SOON AS POSSIBLE THERE WAS A
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR
BUDGET ALLOCATION FOR THESE
PURPOSES. AND OUR KIDS IN SCHOOL

VERY GOOD LET'S COME BACK TO THE
DAIS AS IT IS- ANY COMMENTS FOR
THE AUTHOR OF THE AUTHORS
REPRESENTATIVE. OR AN
INCLINATION TO MOVE THE BILL. I
HATE I WILL BE HAPPY TO MOVE IT
THE BILL BUT I DO WANT TO
ADDRESS. M. SOME OF THE CONCERNS
THAT WE RECEIVED- THAT THIS MAY
BE ABSENT IN CONFLICT WITH THE.
SEE WITH THE FEDERAL EPA. M. AND
A RULE THAT IS BEING CONSIDERED
AND APPROVED THAT IT'S SUPPOSED
TO TAKE. EFFECT ON OCTOBER
TWENTY TWENTY FOUR AND THERE IS
A- THERE'S A RECOMMENDATION FOR
AN AMENDMENT THAT. WOULD ASK HE
HAVE- A DELAY OR SUSPENSION OF
THIS ONCE THAT COMES INTO EFFECT
WITHIN A CERTAIN PERIOD OF TIME.
ARE YOU FAMILIAR AT ALL WHAT I
CAN PARTIALLY ANSWER THAT AND
THEN I KNOW WE HAVE A TECHNICAL
WITNESS WHO CAN START ALL START
OFF AND I THINK THAT IS THE
SHORT ANSWER IS THAT THERE IS
ACTUALLY NOT A CONFLICT. ON THE
CURRENT LEAD AND COPPER RULE
REVISION WHICH IS I THINK WHAT
YOU'RE REFERRING TO AUTHORIZES
STATES TO ISSUE WAIVERS
EXEMPTING WATER SYSTEMS FROM
FEDERAL SCHOOL. AT TESTING
REQUIREMENTS IF THE STATE
REQUIRES A WATER SYSTEM TEST FOR
LEAD IN DRINKING WATER IN
SCHOOLS AND AT THE STATE'S
REQUIREMENTS ARE AT LEAST AS
STRINGENT AS FEDERAL
REQUIREMENTS AND THE FACT IS
THAT AT THERE ARE SEVERAL STATES
ALREADY- THAT HAVE STRICTER
FEDERAL STANDARDS- IN PLACE
INCLUDING MONTANA OREGON
TENNESSEE. MARYLAND JUST TO NAME
A FEW SO IT'S REASONABLE THAT
THE NEW FEDERAL LEAD AND COPPER
RULES WOULD ALSO RETAIN THE
WAIVER PROVISIONS FOR STATE AT
STATES INCLUDING CALIFORNIA THE
OKAY SAY WOULDN'T IT WORK IT
WOULDN'T. I GUESS OVERLAP OR ALL
OF ALLOW ME AT TECHNICAL WITNESS
HERE SUSAN TURNING CAMPUS IS A
LITTLE WITH THE ENVIRONMENTAL
WORKING GROUP AND JUST TO
RESPOND YOUR QUESTION. THE BY
DEMONSTRATION IS WORKING ON AN
UPDATE TO LEAD AND COPPER RULE
REVISIONS. THEY HAVE NOT TO
PRODUCE THAT UPDATE YET EVEN IN
DRAFT FORM- WE'RE EXPECTING AT
SOME POINT THAT UPDATED THAT
DRAFT TO BE PRESENTED AT THERE
WILL THEN BE PUBLIC COMMENT. AND
AT SOME POINT IT WILL BE
APPROVED IN THE FUTURE- AT BUT
ONCE IT IS APPROVED. OUR STATE
WATER BOARD WILL STILL HAVE TO
ISSUE REGULATIONS IN ORDER TO
ENFORCE THE RULE IN CALIFORNIA.
AND AT THIS POINT THE WATER
BOARD. ON IS TAKING BETWEEN
THREE AND FOUR YEARS FROM START
TO FINISH. TO DO REGULATIONS
ONCE THEY BEGAN. TO BE LINE THAT
ALL UP. ON THE- MOST OF THIS
WOMAN THE NEW REQUIREMENTS WOULD
BE GOING INTO. EFFECT IN
CALIFORNIA WELL BEYOND THE
TWENTY TWENTY SEVEN DATE THAT
WERE- THAT THE- THE CURRENT BILL
REQUIRES. SO IT'S ARTS ARE
EXPECT ATION THAT THERE WON'T
BE. AN OVERLAP OF THE WAY THIS
ANYMORE BE ROLLING OUT. AND
TWENTY FIVE MILLION DOLLAR AT
MARCH GRATEFUL THAT THERE'S-
BUDGET ALEC TO MAKE IN A COMMON
. BECAUSE I THINK IT'S- THERE'S
AN URGENCY I AS A MOM WITH AN
UNDERSTANDING THE IMPACT OF LEAD
ON OUR ESPECIALLY OUR YOUNG
YOUNG LITTLE ONES- I THERE'S AN
URGENCY FOR ME- ON THIS FRONT SO
I WAS VERY HAPPY TO SEE THAT.
BUT I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT
OUR SCHOOLS HAVE THE APPROPRIATE
FUNDING IN ORDER TO SPECIALLY
THOSE THAT ARE AB. IMPACTED HAVE
SEVERELY IMPACTED SO IT WILL
THIS BE A GRAND FORM HOW ARE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS GOING TO BE. I
THINK JUST TO NOTE ONE OF THE
THINGS IS THAT WE'RE TARGETING
SPECIFICALLY INITIALLY TO A
TITLE ONE SCHOOLS. SO THERE IS
AT LIMITATION AND KIND OF THE
SCOPE OF THE FUNDING REQUIRED TO
BE ABLE DO THIS AND WE KNOW THE
ANYTHING THAT THE LEGISLATURE
MANDATES REQUIRES US TO BE ABLE
TO PROVIDE PROPORTIONAL FUNDING.
TO BE ABLE TO IMPLEMENT OKAY BY
REGULATION SO WHAT ABOUT THE
SCHOOLS THAT ARE NOT. ARE NOT
TITLE ONE I WILL THEY BE
EXPECTED TO DO THE TESTING AND
BE FINANCIALLY RESPONSIBLE FOR.
AND REMEDIATING THE LEAD
COMPONENT. THE CURRENTLY THE
BILL ONLY APPLIES THAT THE LET
WE NARROWED THE BILL TO ONLY-
REQUIRED. THIS LED TESTING TO BE
DONE FOR TITLE ONE SCHOOLS OKAY
SO TITLE ONE SCHOOLS WILL BE
TESTED- AND THEY WILL BE
PROVIDING THE FUNDING FOR THOSE
PARTICULAR SCHOOLS AS WELL. OKAY
I'M GOOD. WONDERFUL WHICH
BECAUSE WE KNOW. WE MANDATE
ANYTHING WE- ARE REQUIRED TO
PROVIDE THE FUNDING FOR IT SO I
APPRECIATE THE URGENCY AND THE
SPECIFIC FOCUS ON LOW INCOME
COMMUNITIES. LOW INCOME SCHOOLS

MEMBER BONTA THIS IS YOUR BILL
AB SIXTEEN OH FOUR. THANK YOU I
SAW THE LINE BY DOING SOME WORK
FOR MY COLLEAGUES AT. THANK YOU
SO MUCH MEANT MISTER CHAIR AND
SENATORS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT TO YOU AB SIXTEEN OH FOR
A BILL I INTRODUCED IN RESPONSE
TO THE STATE AUDITOR'S REPORT.
ON THE CHARTER SCHOOL FACILITY
GRANT PROGRAM I WILL BE
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS AND VERY THANKFUL FOR
THEM. LAST YEAR FORMER
ASSEMBLYMEMBER EDUCATION CHURCH
ZERO DONNELL AND I REQUEST AN
AUDIT OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL
FACILITIES GRANT PROGRAM AND THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL FIST OF
FINANCE AUTHORITIES CONDUIT
REVENUE BOND PROGRAM. WE
REQUESTED THIS AUDIT AFTER WE
LEARNED THAT GRANT PROGRAM FUNDS
INTENDED FOR THE PAYMENT OF RENT
AND LEAST EXPECT EXPENSES BY
CHARTER SCHOOLS WERE IN A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER OF CASES PAID
BY RELATED PARTY SUBSIDIARIES OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS TO PAY OFF
BONDS. ON EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
IN FEBRUARY. AT THE AUDITORS
RELEASED THE AUDITOR RELEASED
FINDINGS AND CONFIRMS WHAT WE
BELIEVE. THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
FINANCE AUTHORITY IS
ADMINISTERING THESE PROGRAMS
WITH INCREDIBLE FOR THE FIDELITY
TO EXISTING LAW. BUT EXISTING
LAW IS INADEQUATE TO PROTECT
PUBLIC FUNDS AND PRESERVE PUBLIC
INFRASTRUCTURE. FIRST THE BILL
WOULD ENSURE THE LOCAL STUDENTS
ARE PRIORITIZE FOR ADMISSION TO
CHARTER SCHOOLS RECEIVING THESE
GRANT FUNDS. REINFORCING THE
PROGRAM'S GOAL OF SERVING LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES AMENDMENTS IN
THIS COMMITTEE IN SHORT THE
ADMISSIONS PRIORITIES CHANGE. I
TAKE PLACE DURING A CHARTER
SCHOOLS NEXT SCHEDULED MATERIAL
REVISION. SECOND THIS BILL WOULD
ENHANCE CONFLICT OF INTEREST
REVIEW IN LINE WITH THE AUDITORS
RECOMMENDATIONS BY REQUIRING THE
CALIFORNIA. SCHOOL FINANCE
AUTHORITY TO UPDATE ITS
REGULATIONS AND CONDUCT ANNUAL
SPOT CHECKS ON A RANDOM SAMPLE
OF GRANT PROGRAM RECIPIENTS.
THIRD THE. AUDITOR RECOMMENDED
STRENGTHENING. STATE LAW TO
MITIGATE IMPACTS FROM SCHOOL. TO
ACHIEVE THIS. THE AMENDMENTS
TAKEN IN THE ASSEMBLY WOULD
REQUIRE AN ENTITY MANAGING A
CHARTER SCHOOL THAT HAS CLOSED
AND WHICH HAS RECEIVED
SUBSTANTIAL FUNDING THROUGH THE
S. B. AT SEVEN FORTY PROGRAM AND
PROP NINETY EIGHT. TO GIVE FIRST
RIGHT TO PURCHASE OF OUR LEASE
THAT PROPERTY AT COST TO ANOTHER
EDUCATIONAL PROVIDER INCLUDING
ANOTHER CHARTER SCHOOL. IF AFTER
SIXTY DAYS NO PUBLIC EDUCATION
PROVIDER OR PUBLIC AGENCY WOULD
LIKE TO PURCHASE OR LEASE THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL FACILITY IT CAN BE
OF OFFERED. ON THE OPEN MARKET
BUT ANY NET PROCEEDS FROM THE
SALE OR LEASE OF THE FACT
DISTILLATE IT MUST BE RETURNED
TO THE GRANT PROGRAM. FOR THE
BENEFIT OF OTHER CHARTER SCHOOLS
AND T. K. TWELVE STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA. I WOULD LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE I'VE TAKEN AMENDMENTS
AND TO ENACT ROBUST PROTECTIONS
FOR THE BOND MARKET PARTICIPANTS
TO ENSURE THAT UNDER ALL
CIRCUMSTANCES BONDHOLDERS TO
FINANCE THESE FACILITIES ARE
PAID WHAT THEY'RE OWED.
ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL ONLY
APPLIES PROSPECTIVELY. WE NEED
TO BE PROACTIVE WHEN IT COMES TO
HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS OF TAXPAYER
DOLLARS INVESTED IN CAPITAL
INFRASTRUCTURE THIS BILL CREATES
IN ORDER OF OPERATIONS BUT WHAT
HAPPENS TO THE PUBLIC'S CAPITAL
INVESTMENTS. WHEN THAT CHARTER
SCHOOL CEASES TO EXIST. THE BILL
ENSURES THAT OUR INVESTMENTS IN
EDUCATION INFRASTRUCTURE
BENEFITS STUDENTS TODAY AND
FUTURE GENERATIONS TO COME. WITH

YOU THANK YOU MISTER INSTANTE
WELCOME. AGAIN THANK YOU GOOD
AFTERNOON- CASSIE MANZINI ON
BEHALF OF THE SPONSOR CSEA- ON
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA SAID AB
SIXTEEN OH FOUR RESPONSE TO THE
SIX RECOMMENDATIONS ISSUED BY
THE STATE AUDITOR ON HIS REPORT
ON THE CHARTER SCHOOL FACILITY
GRANT PROGRAM. RIGHT NOW ROUGHLY
ONE THIRD OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
QUALIFY FOR THIS GRANT PROGRAM
BY RENTING FROM A SUBSIDIARY OR
OTHER RELATED PARTY. THIS MEANS
THAT THOSE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
RECEIVING PUBLIC EDUCATION FUNDS
FROM PROP NINETY EIGHT TO
ACQUIRE FACILITIES BUT THE
PUBLIC HAS NO CLAIM TO OWNERSHIP
TO THE FACILITY OF THE CHARTER
SCHOOL CLOSES. HERE'S THE
PROBLEM UNLIKE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
WHICH MUST CONVENE A COMMITTEE
OF COMMUNITY STAKEHOLDERS
EDUCATORS PARENTS AND STUDENTS
TO RECOMMEND HOW AN UNUSED
SCHOOL PROPERTY SHOULD BE SOLD
OR LEASED. CHARTER SCHOOLS
LEVERAGING THIS LOOPHOLE CAN
SIMPLY CLOSE DOWN AND LEASE OR
SELL THEIR PROPERTY FOR ANY
PURPOSE WALKING AWAY WITH THE
NET PROCEEDS OF THAT SALE. THIS
MEANS THAT FOR ONE A COMMUNITY
IS OUT AN EDUCATIONAL FACILITY
SPACE. LEVY AND OTHER PUBLIC
SCHOOLS SCRAMBLING TO
ACCOMMODATE AN INFLUX OF
STUDENTS- IT FROM THE CLOSE
CHARTER SCHOOLS WITH. FEWER
CLASSROOMS AND FEWER SEATS.
SECONDLY THIS MEANS THAT ANY
GAINS ON THE SALE OR LEASE OF
THAT CAPITAL INFRASTRUCTURE
INVESTMENT. DO NOT NECESSARILY
BENEFIT PUBLIC EDUCATION IN
CALIFORNIA NONPROFIT LAW GOVERNS
HOW THE LLC SUBSIDIARIES THE
WHOLE TITLES THE SCHOOL
FACILITIES. I'M IF MONEY IS
SPENT. THIS LAW ALLOWS THE PER
FROM SALE OF THESE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS TO BE SPENT ON WHEREVER
THAT ORGANIZATION OPERATES IN
CALIFORNIA- IN FLORIDA IT ALSO
ALLOWS THE PROCEEDS TO BE SPENT
ON ANY BECAUSE ANY NONPROFIT
BECAUSE NOT JUST U. K. THROUGH
TWELVE PUBLIC EDUCATION. AB
SIXTEEN OH FOUR SOLVE THOSE
PROBLEMS BY ALLOWING OTHER
CHARTER SCHOOLS PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AND CHILD CARE PROVIDERS HAVE
THE FIRST RIGHT TO PURCHASE. A
CLOSE HER SCHOOL FACILITIES AT
COST AND ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL
ENSURES THAT IF THE FACILITY IS
NOT SOLD TO A PUBLIC EDUCATION
PROVIDER OR PUBLIC AGENCY. ANY
NET PROCEEDS FROM THAT FACILITY
LEASE OR SALE UP TO A LIMIT WILL
BE RETURNED TO THE GRANT PROGRAM
FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHER
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS. THIS
REQUIREMENT IS NOT INTENDED TO
BE PUNITIVE IT'S INTENDED TO
ENSURE THAT OUR PROP NINETY
INVESTMENTS CONTINUE TO BENEFIT
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS. NOT ANY OUT
OF STATE COLLEGE THANK YOU- FOR
THESE REASONS EIGHT AM CST A
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR RIVAL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH- ANY OTHER

OPPOSITION TO THE MEASURE LIKE
TO SPEAK. ON THE MATTER PLEASE
YOU YOUR NAME YOU HAVE TWO
MINUTES IS A PRIMARY WITNESS
WELCOME. SALES GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME IS HILARY HARM SAN WITH
KICK PUBLIC SCHOOLS NORTHERN
CALIFORNIA I'M HERE TODAY IN
OPPOSITION TO AB YOU KNOW FOR.
IT IS UNCLEAR WHAT PROBLEM THIS
BILL IS ATTEMPTING TO SOLVE.
SINCE TWENTY NINETEEN KIT NOR
CAL HAS LEVERAGE FIFTY EIGHT
MILLION DOLLARS IN LOANS THROUGH
BOND FINANCING TO SUPPORT
FACILITIES DEVELOPMENT IN
OAKLAND SAN JOSE EAST PALO ALTO
AND STOCKTON. TO THE STATE
CONDUIT BOND PROGRAM AND THE SB
SEVEN FORTY CHARTER FACILITIES
GRANT PROGRAM. CURRENTLY OVER
THIRTEEN HUNDRED KEPT STUDENTS
BENEFIT FROM THESE PROGRAMS
GROWING TO OVER THREE THOUSAND
IN THE NEXT FEW YEARS. STATEWIDE
THIS NUMBER JUMPS TO OVER NINETY
THOUSAND STUDENTS 79% OF WHOM
ARE LOW INCOME AND OVER 75% OUR
STUDENTS OF COLOR OR ENGLISH
LEARNERS. REFLECTING KIP'S DEEP
COMMITMENT TO PROVIDING THE
JOYFUL ACADEMICALLY EXCELLENT
SCHOOLS TO THE STUDENTS THAT
NEED THEM THE MOST. ACCESSING
EQUITABLE SCHOOL FACILITIES IS
ONE OF THE BIGGEST CHALLENGES WE
FACE. YET THESE TWO PROGRAMS
MAKE IT A REALITY. WITHOUT OUR
NONPROFIT FACILITIES PARTNERS
ARE SB SEVEN FORTY DOLLARS WOULD
PAY FOR PRIVATE LEASES SUBJECT
TO THE WHIMS OF FOR PROFIT
LANDLORDS. A RECENT STATE AUDIT
CONFIRMS THAT ORGANIZATIONS LIKE
HIP ACT IN ALIGNMENT WITH
CURRENT STATE LAW. AND THE
COMMUNITIES THAT NEED BETTER
FACILITIES ARE BENEFITING THE
MOST. SO AGAIN WHAT PROBLEM IS
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA TRYING TO
SOLVE. CURRENTLY IF THE SCHOOL
CLOSES AND THE FACILITY IS SOLD
TO PAY OFF DEBT. ANY REMAINING
PROCEEDS ARE DISTRIBUTED TO
OTHER PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS UNDER
THE OVERSIGHT OF THE ATTORNEY
GENERAL. THESE PROGRAMS
REPRESENT A HIGHLY ACCOUNTABLE
LIFELINE TO EQUITABLE
FACILITIES. BUT THE EXCESSIVE
REQUIREMENTS OF THIS BILL WOULD
MAKE FINANCING MORE COSTLY OR
IMPOSSIBLE TO SECURE. ON BEHALF
OF KIDS STUDENTS AND FAMILIES
AND OVER SIXTY CHARTER SCHOOL
COLLEAGUES WHO OPPOSE THIS BILL
I URGE YOU TO REJECT THIS
PROPOSAL AS WITH UP AND A STABLE
AND TRANSPARENT PROCESS. THAT
OFFERS A PATH TO EQUITABLE
FACILITIES FOR UNDER RESOURCE
COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE STATE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU. NEXT PLEASE
WELCOME GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME
IS COLIN MILLER WITH THE
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION AND WE'VE SUBMITTED
A CONFERENCE OF LETTER BUT WITH
THE TIME I HAVE A WANT TO FOCUS
ON A COUPLE OF KEY ISSUES- WE DO
APPRECIATE THE AUTHOR'S EFFORTS
IN IN AMENDING THIS BILL- TO
ADDRESS A LOT OF THE TECHNICAL
AND PROCEDURAL ISSUES AND IT-
BUT UNFORTUNATELY- WE- WE ARE
STILL OPPOSED TO THE BILL. THE
BOTTOM LINE IS THAT A. B. SIX NO
FOUR WILL HAVE A REALLY
DEVASTATING IMPACT ON ACCESS TO
QUALITY SCHOOL FACILITIES IN LOW
INCOME COMMUNITIES- THAT THAT IS
THE BOTTOM LINE ISSUE HERE- THE
SCHOOLS ARE CURRENTLY BENEFITING
FROM THE FOR THE PROGRAMS THEY
SERVE OVER 80% LOW INCOME
STUDENTS. AND 90% STUDENTS OF
COLOR AND THE STUDENTS ARE THE
ONES WILL BE HARMED HERE- WHILE
THE BILL'S FRAMED AS A RESPONSE
TO THE OF THE AUDIT OF THESE
PROGRAMS- THEY THEY- WOULD KIND
OF FAILED TO NOTE THAT THE
AUDITORS OVERALL CONCLUSIONS FOR
THESE PROGRAMS ARE WORKING WELL.
IN ACCORDANCE WITH LAW THEY ARE
TRANSPARENT AND WHEN THEY WORK.
FONTS NOT PUBLICLY FINANCER OR
OR- HAVE ANY STATE LIABILITY
WHEN THEY WORK TOGETHER IN THESE
COMMUNITIES REALLY BENEFIT- THE-
THEY ALSO NOTED THAT THERE IS NO
CONFLICT OF INTEREST THERE IS NO
PRIVATE GAIN POSSIBLE. BECAUSE
ALL OF THE ENTITIES INVOLVED OR
NONPROFITS AND SUBJECT TO THE
OVERSIGHT OF- DISSOLUTION OF
NONPROFIT ORGANIZATIONS AND
ASSETS. ONCE THEY PAID OFF ALL
THEIR DEBT WHICH IN IN MOST OF
THESE CASES IS SIGNIFICANT- AND
ALSO BECAUSE OF THE HIGHLY- NEW
ACCOUNTABILITY REQUIREMENTS IN
THE CHARTER SCHOOL LAW ITSELF.
REGARDING CONFLICT OF INTEREST.
I'M IN THE SCHOOL CLOSER
SITUATION YOU KNOW IT'S
NECESSARY A YOU KNOW IT'S
UNFORTUNATE WHEN SCHOOLS CLOSE
BUT THE IF THEY HAVE AN ASSET
LIKE THIS IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
THEY THEY SELL ASSET AS QUICKLY
AS POSSIBLE TO PAY OFF THEIR
DEBTS. IF THE SCHOOL REMAINS
VACANT THERE'S NO INCOME SOURCE
TO PAY OFF THAT DEBT AT RISK OF
DEFAULT ON THAT ON THAT LOAN
WHICH IN THAT CASE NOBODY WINS-
D. D- THE SITUATION WHERE
THEY'RE SIGNIFICANT THAT THAT
FACILITIES MUST BE SOLD SOON. MR
MILLER ATTY AT THIS YEAR YEAH-
ADDING A COMPLICATED FIRST RIGHT
OF REFUSAL PROCESS REALLY IS A
IS A- A CHALLENGE TO THE- THE
BOND COMMUNITY- WE'VE HEARD FROM
SEVERAL BOND ATTORNEYS AS WELL
AS- BOND SELLERS. THAT THIS BILL
WILL HAVE A NEGATIVE IMPACT ON
ON THE PEOPLE THAT WOULD BE
INTERESTED IN THESE INVESTMENTS
BECAUSE OF ALL THE NEW
REQUIREMENTS THAT WOULD WOULD
THEN CREATE RISK ON THESE LOANS
MAKING THE MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE.
OR IN MANY CASES NOT NOT
ELIGIBLE AND I AM PRETTY SURE
THAT THANK YOU THANK YOU

WITNESSES HERE IN OPPOSITION THE
MEASURE IF YOU COME FORWARD

THANK YOU NEXT WHICH- A MEASURE
WE HAVE NO ONE ELSE IN Q.
WISHING TO SPEAK AT THIS FOR
VERY LET'S COME BACK TO THE DAYS
I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF A- ALL
RIGHT SO MY SISTER. AND I HAD
KNEE WITH. C. C. C. S. R. ONE OF
TWO- EXPERTS THE PRIVATE BOND
MARKET. AND AS WE WORK THROUGH
THE CONCERNS AS UNDERSTANDING OF
THE THERE ARE TWO PROVISIONS
THIS BILL THAT. THAT COULD
PROSPECTIVELY HAVE WHAT HAS BEEN
CHARACTERIZED AS A CHILLING
EFFECT. ON THE CHARTER SCHOOL
CONDUIT BOND MARKET ONE WAS
REQUIRING THE RIGHT OF FIRST
REFUSAL TO ELEAZAR OR THE PUBLIC
AGENCIES AND AN END TO ALLOW
YOUR CHARTER SCHOOL TO SELL ON
THE OPEN MARKET ONLY IF. WITHIN
SIXTY DAYS A REASONABLE OFFER IS
NOT MADE BY THOSE PUBLIC
ENTITIES. AS SPECIFIC AS I
UNDERSTAND THE CONCERN IS THE
POTENTIAL INVESTORS MAY VIEW
TOWARD BONDS IS RISKIER. FOR
CHARTER SCHOOL HAS TO WAIT UP TO
SIXTY DAYS BEFORE LIQUIDATING
ITS ASSET IN PAYING OFF ITS
DEBTS- AND THE WITNESS TESTIFIED
TO THAT. ALL RIGHT FURTHER- IT'S
POSSIBLE CHARTER SCHOOL BE
REQUIRED ENTERTAINING AND THIS
IS A LEGITIMATE CONCERN
REASONABLE OFFERS- THAT MIGHT
INCLUDE EXTENSIVE CONCERT
CONTINGENCIES THAT WOULD CREATE
FOR FURTHER LIABILITIES. ARE ANY
AND IN SOME CASES TAKE MONTHS IF
NOT MORE SATISFIED ALL RIGHT SO
THESE CONCERNS PRESUPPOSE THAT A
PUBLIC AGENCY CANNOT SUBMIT A
COMPETITIVE QUALIFY OFFER- IN
SIXTY DAYS. WHICH WILL NOT
ALWAYS BE THE CASE SO- ED BUT I
ALSO APPRECIATE THE FACT THE
BILL ALREADY EXEMPTS SALES
RELEASES IN CONNECTION WITH THE
RESULT RESULTING FROM A CHARTER
SCHOOL DEFAULTING. ON THEIR
FACILITY DEBT. I AND I KNOW
WE'VE GOT CONVERSATIONS SO THE
COMMITTEES DONOR DAY TERRIFIC
JOB ON THIS WITH. THE AUTHOR AND
HER STAFF MY OFF MY ASK HERE. IS
THAT THE OTHER COMMITTEE
CONTINUING TO WORK ON
AMENDMENTS. THAT INSURE THAT IN
ALL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT FIRST
RIGHT IF YOU REFUSE TO PROCESS.
IS SWITCHED IN SWIFT ENOUGH. TO
NOT ON INTENSELY BECAUSE YOU
CHORE SCHOOL TO DEFAULT. ON ITS
LOAN- THIS EFFORT MAY MAY NOT
NECESSITATE. BETTER DEFINING
WHAT CONSTITUTES A REASONABLE
OFFER FOR PURPOSES OF THE
PRESCRIBED SIXTY DAY WINDOW.
BESSEMER BAR IF YOU'RE IF YOU'RE
OPEN. AMENDMENTS ARE JOB THAT
PRICE. I PREPARE TO SUPPORT BILL
TODAY. THANK YOU SO MUCH I AT AS
WE HAVE BEEN. FOR THE BEGINNING
OF THIS AND- IS SEEKING THE
AUDITOR GUIDE IN TO BE TO. AT
UNDERSTAND BETTER I WE DO NOT
JUST BE AT ALL THAT THIS IS BEEN
AND- HELPFUL. FOR HER SCHOOL
FACILITIES I TO BE ABLE TO BE
ACQUIRED- WE DO RECOGNIZE THOUGH
THAT WE ABSOLUTELY NEED TO HAVE
FULL TRANSPARENCY- IN THE WAY
THAT OUT THOUGH OUR PUBLIC
DOLLARS ARE USED PARTICULAR
PUBLIC CAPITAL DOLLARS AND GIVEN
THE FACT THAT FACILITIES ARE SO
PRECIOUS. IN MANY OF OUR
COMMUNITIES AND THEY'RE VERY
DIFFICULT TO GET I JUST WANTED
TO CLARIFY AND POINT OUT ONE
THING IS THAT THAT THE AUDIT DID
COME UP WITH. SOME CONCERNS
AROUND THAT UNDERSTANDING AND
HAVING TRANSPARENCY AROUND WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN A CHARTER CLOSES.
THE PROBLEM WITH THIS WELL AS
TRYING TO SOLVE THAT SEEKS TO
SOLVE IS ESSENTIALLY THE FACT
THAT SCHOOLS CLOSE. AND WHEN
SCHOOLS CLOSE IF THE STATE MAKES
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS IN THOSE
RESOURCES. OUT WE SHOULD BE ABLE
TO CONTROL THOSE RESOURCES AS
SCHOOLS ARE. NOTORIOUS FOR
CATEGORICAL FUNDS IF DOLLARS ARE
SPENT FOR FACILITIES THEY SHOULD
BE USED FOR FACILITIES AND
THAT'S THE INTENTION OF THIS
BILL TO GOING FORWARD SO. AT
CHAIR YOU'VE OFFERED SOME
OPPORTUNITY FOR US TO CONTINUE
TO WORK WITH AT WITH AT OUR-
BOND ATTORNEYS AT TO BE ABLE TO
ENSURE THAT THERE ISN'T THAT
KIND OF CHILLING EFFECT
SPECIFICALLY AROUND- AG GETTING
MORE CLARITY IN LANGUAGE AROUND.
THAT REASONABLE THIS- WHICH I
BELIEVE I WAS ACTUALLY AT AT AN
AMENDMENT THAT WE INITIALLY TOOK
BECAUSE WE WERE HEARING BACK
FROM CHARTER SCHOOLS- THAT WE
DIDN'T WANT TO HAVE OFFERS THAT
WERE UNREASONABLE FROM. THE
ENTITIES THAT WERE PRESENTED
THAT WE INCLUDED IT BUT WE WILL
CONTINUE TO WORK ON THAT MOVING
FORWARD AND I DO I DO APPRECIATE
THAT AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR I'M
SURE THEY WERE BEEN REFERENCES
TO. OVERHAULING THE PROGRAM I
THINK IF YOU'RE TEN YEARS NOT TO
OVERALL THE PREGNANCY DEFINED TO
THE PROGRAM. FOR THAT NARAL
CASE- WHERE THERE'S A SUBSIDIARY
WITH WITH AN INTEREST- IN A
PROPERTY CHECK CORRECT AT THIS
AT THIS PROGRAM WAS ESTABLISHED
OVER TWENTY YEARS AGO. I THINK
FINE TUNING IS A VERY.
REASONABLE THING FOR THE STATE
LEGISLATURE TO DO. AFTER OVER
TWENTY BILLION. OF IN THIS THIS
PROGRAM OVER TIME AND THAT IS
WHAT WE'RE TRYING TO DO I
APPRECIATE ANY OTHER QUESTION
COMES FROM THE CALL LEAGUE
SINGULAR. I THINK YOU WERE
ADDRESSING SOME OF THE CONCERNS-
SO. WITH THAT WITH THE
CONSIDERATIONS THAT YOU JUST
MENTIONED. THE OPPOSITION FEEL.
MORE COMFORTABLE WITH THE BILL-
AS THEY WORK. I WILL ANSWER THAT
QUESTION INITIALLY AND I'M SURE
YOU'LL WANT TO HEAR FROM THE
OPPOSITION. I THINK AT THE END
OF THE DAY AND I'VE SAT DOWN
WITH OPPOSITION REPEATEDLY- AS
HAS MY TEAM. AT THERE IS A
FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCE OF
OPINION AND I'VE BEEN VERY VERY.
I CONCERTED IN MY EFFORTS TO
WORK WITH OPPOSITION TO TAKE
AMENDMENTS WE'VE TAKEN THE
COUNTLESS AMENDMENTS. I TO BE
ABLE TO ADDRESS SOME OF THE
ISSUES OF CONCERN- THROUGHOUT
THIS I THINK OUR LAST
CONVERSATION BOIL DOWN TO. HI TO
AN ISSUE THAT IS NOT SOLVABLE
WITHIN THE CONTENTS AND THE
CONFINES OF THIS BILL. I THINK
THE OPPOSITION AT THE END OF THE
DAY SEEKS PARITY AROUND BEING
ABLE TO GET. A FACILITIES
BECAUSE THEY ARE SORELY NEEDED
AT THAT IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD
BE TAKEN UP IN ANOTHER BILL IT
IS NOT. TO BE TAKEN UP IN THIS
BILL. THIS BILL IS ABOUT
SPECIFICALLY THE TURN THE USE OF
OUR SB SEVEN FORTY DOLLARS. AND
AND TO THE EXTENT THAT WE CAN
WITHIN THE CONFINES OF THE THIS
BILL ACCOMMODATE THE OPPOSITION
I THINK THAT WE HAVE. ENDS IN
ANY OTHER OPPOSITION THAT
REMAINS IS BACK. IN MY
ESTIMATION BEYOND WHAT THE SCOPE
OF THIS BILL ENTAILS ANONYMISED
MILIEU IF YOU MAY WANT TO
COMMENT I'M NOT SURE IF YOU DO
IT I MEAN THAT ISSUE HERE IS THE
CODE OF- THIS. IN QUESTION BUT
WITH IMPACT WILL HAVE ON THE YOU
KNOW BOND MARKET MOVING FORWARD
YEAH I WE NEED FOR YOU TO START
OVER WITH A DIFFERENT ACTUALLY
TO HEAR. INPUT ARE YOU REIGN
APPRECIATE THAT- AND TO MEET
THEIR CONCERNS GO AHEAD. JUST
FOR CLARIFICATION MISTER CHAIR-
IF THEY COULD ADDRESS- THIS IS A
CONCERN OF MINE- I TALKED. AND
THE CONCERN WITH THE- AT. THE
PARITY. ISSUE. AND WHY YOU DON'T
FEEL BECAUSE I THE WAY THAT I
EIGHT RATE THAT I'M HERE THIS
BILL IS THAT. WHEN IT COMES THE
STATE. FUNDING THAT IT IT. IT
GOES BACK. WAIT LET ME BE CLEAR
JUST TO BE CLEAR BECAUSE I THINK
OF SOME MEMBER BONTA MADE THE
POINT. THERE'S A LARGER
CONVERSATION. AND IT'S ACTUALLY
OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE OF THIS
BILL TWO POINT. WHICH IS ABOUT
PARITY ABOUT THE RECIPROCAL KIND
OF. YOU KNOW INTENT- WHERE WE
MAKE PROVISIONS FOR THE
DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY IN BOTH
DIRECTIONS THIS THIS IS
SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HOW WE
DISPOSE OF PROPERTIES OWNED BY
CHARTER SCHOOLS. TO YOUR POINT.
THIS IS ABOUT THE SB SEVEN
FORTY. FIVE PROCESS AND ITS
IMPACT ON CONDUIT BOND
FINANCING. SEPTILLION SO THAT
OTHER CONVERSATION ABOUT WE KNOW
WHETHER OR NOT HOW CHARTER
SCHOOLS SHOULD HAVE ACCESS. TO
PUBLIC PROPERTIES SUPPOSEDLY IS
WHEN THEY COME AVAILABLE
SEPARATE BILL RIGHT AND WE HAVE
THIS CONVERSATION YESTERDAY. IT
WHAT I WANT YOU TO SPEAK TO
SPECIFICALLY IS THE VERY VALID
CONCERNS- THAT THIS MAY HAVE AN
ADVERSE EFFECT ON YOUR ABILITY
TO RAISE FUNDS FOR PURCHASES
THROUGH CON WOODBINE FINISHED
BOND FINANCING. YES SO IS SO-
YEAH IT DID THE ISSUE WITH THE
KIND OF ON FINANCING IS AS WE
WILL DISCUSS YOU KNOW REALLY HAS
TO DO WITH HOW DOES THE BOND
MARKET FEEL ABOUT THESE CHANGES
IN THIS BILL. YOU KNOW DOES THAT
MAKE THEM NERVOUS DOES IT THEM
YOU KNOW WE NEED ADDITIONAL YOU
KNOW AN ADDITIONAL A HIGHER
INTEREST RATE BECAUSE THEY'RE
CONCERNED ABOUT. THESE RISKS ARE
THESE DIFFERENT PROCESSES THAT
ARE ON THERE SO TO THE EXTENT
THAT- YOU KNOW THERE'S-
CONVERSATION ABOUT AMENDMENTS
TO. YOU KNOW TO MAKE THAT
TIGHTER THAN THAT. REDUCES THAT
RISK BUT BUT TO YOUR POINT ON
PARITY- YOU KNOW WE RESPECTFULLY
DISAGREE THAT WE THINK WHEN WE
TALK ABOUT. A SITUATION THAT IN
IN. IN IN THIS CASE WILL WILL
REDUCE ACCESS IN SOME CASES SOME
CASES IT WILL ELIMINATE ACCESS.
AND. THE FACILITY SITUATION
AFTER SCHOOL THIS SO DIFFICULT.
WE DON'T GET TO GET PARITY IN
STATE BONDS WE DON'T GET ANY. TO
LOCAL BARS VERY RARELY WILL GET
ACCESS TO LOCAL BONDS- WE HAVE-
SCHOOL DISTRICTS HAVE AN
OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE FACILITIES
FOR CHARTERS WHICH IS. IS MOSTLY
IGNORED IN IN MANY DISTRICTS- SO
THE OPTION TO. LEASE FACILITIES
IN THE IN THE OPEN MARKET IS
REALLY A KEY OPTION FOR CHARTER
SCHOOLS AND SAID THE SEVEN FORTY
PROGRAM WAS DESIGNED TO PROVIDE.
SOME PORTION OF REIMBURSEMENT
FOR THE LEAST COST OF THOSE
FACILITIES- THE CONDUIT BOND
PROGRAM THAT'S WORKING TOGETHER
WITH THIS. WITH THE SEVEN FORTY
PROGRAM IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR
THESE SCHOOLS TO DEVELOP LONG
TERM ASSETS THROUGH NONPROFIT-
MANAGEMENT- THAT ACTUALLY WILL
STAY WITHIN THE COMMUNITY IF THE
CHARTER SCHOOL CLOSES OR- OR IF
THE LEASE THE LEASE GOES AWAY SO
IN A PRIVATE IN MOST CASES. THE
SCHOOLS ARE LEASING FROM PRIVATE
ENTITIES. THAT THE PRIVATE.
LANDLORD IS TAKING THE LEASE
GETTING REIMBURSED FROM FROM THE
PROGRAM- AND AT THE END OF THAT
LEASE THEY WALK AWAY WITH THEM
HONEY AND YOU KNOW THE SCHOOL
HAS TO FIND ANOTHER HOME- BUT
THIS IN THE NARROW CASE WHERE
THESE SCHOOLS ARE USING THESE
CONDUIT BONDS WHICH ONCE AGAIN
ARE NOT STATE SPONSORED THEIR-
PRIVATELY FINANCED BOND. WITH NO
STATE REST- IN THOSE CASES.
THEY'RE ACTUALLY USING THESE.
THESE PROGRAMS TOGETHER TO
CREATE A LONG TERM ASSET FOR THE
COMMUNITY- IT IS IN THE PRIVATE
LEASES. RIGHT A. I MEAN I JOIN A
SPEAK TO THIS. KIND OF WHETHER
OR NOT THE LONG TERM ASSET IS
ACTUALLY RETAINED IN THE
COMMUNITY THE FACT OF THE MATTER
IS THAT THROUGH THE AUDIT WE
LEARNED THAT WE ACTUALLY DON'T
KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT
QUESTION. BECAUSE WE DON'T
ACTUALLY HAVE A AT A RECORD OF
HAVING A VERY CLEAR CLOSE OUT OF
WHAT HAPPENS TO THOSE ASSETS
AFTER WE'VE INVESTED.
SIGNIFICANT DOLLARS THROUGH OUR-
THROUGH OUR SB SEVEN FORTY
DOLLARS THAT'S THE INTENTION OF
THIS BILL THE SECOND IS THAT AT.
AT OFFERING FINDS TO BE ABLE TO
BE RETAINED FOR A NONPROFIT. A
PRIVATE NONPROFIT IS VERY
DIFFERENT FROM ENSURING THAT
FUNDS GET RETAINED FOR THE
PURPOSE OF ENSURING ADDITIONAL
SCHOOL FACILITIES CHARTER SCHOOL
FACILITIES WITHIN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA GET BUILT. A LOT OF
THE WAY THAT THESE ARE LEASE
AGREEMENTS ARE STRUCTURED ARE
THAT THAT DIRECTORS THAT PARENT
COMPANY AT THE CHARTER
MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATION THAT
OWNS THEM. THOSE CHARTER
MANAGEMENT ORGANIZATIONS UP
EXIST ACROSS MULTIPLE STATES SO
WE ACTUALLY HAVE NO GUARANTEE
THAT THE FUNDING IS CERTAIN TO
BE ABLE TO RETURN. FOR THE
PURPOSE OF EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES
WITHIN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
AND SPECIFICALLY FOR THE PURPOSE
OF ENSURING ADDITIONAL
FACILITIES ARE AVAILABLE TO OUR
COMMUNITIES IN A BAND AGAIN
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A NET
PROCEEDS FROM A SALE. THAT
PROCEEDS FROM THE SALE AFTER ALL
. DEXTER PAID CORRECT IS THAT
FROM THE BONDS. NOTE THAT FROM
THE PROPERTY SOME PORTION OF
WHICH HAS BEEN PAID FOR BY THE
SB SEVEN FORTY FIVE AM SAY
SIGNET IS THERE IS THERE OVER
FIFTY ONE PERCENT. SO IS OUR
SEPARATION AND THAT CAN HAPPEN
WITH. WITH THE AS YOU MENTIONED
EARLIER PRIVATE ABOUT. PRIVATE
BONDS VERSUS THE PUBLIC FUNDS IS
THERE IS THERE A
DIFFERENTIATION. OF WHAT CAN GO
TO THE NONPROFIT SO THAT YOU
FOLKS TO SECURE FUTURE FUNDING
FOR YOUR FACILITIES. AND THEN.
BRING THE PUBLIC FUNDS BACK AND
ASK AND BE ACCOUNTABLE BUT-
THAT'S NOT THE ISSUE RIGHT
MISTER MILLER IT'S NOT ABOUT HOW
THIS PROCESS OF USE OUT AT THE
END THE AT THE PROSPECTIVE
ADVERSE IMPACT ON. FUTURE BOND
ISSUES. THAT MOST CASES. THAT
HAVE OCCURRED IN IN THIS
SITUATION THE FACILITIES SO
HIGHLY LEVERAGED BY IT BY THE
THESE BONDS THAT THERE'S VERY
LITTLE RELATIVE YOU KNOW NET
PROCEEDS TO BE USED TO REALLY BE
WORRYING TOO MUCH ABOUT- THEY
THEY HAVE TO PAY OFF THOSE BONDS
FIRST SO THAT THAT'S CRITICAL.
BUT THE KEY DIFFERENCE IN
GETTING BACK TO THE PARITY ISSUE
IS THAT IT IS OFFERING TO
REQUIRING DISTRICT ARE OFFERED
ALLOWING DISTRICTS A RIGHT OF
FIRST REFUSAL TO THESE
PROPERTIES. WHILE NOT ALLOWING
CHARTER SCHOOLS THE RIGHT OF
FIRST REFUSAL TO DISTRICT
PROPERTIES THAT HAVE BEEN
PUBLICLY FINANCED THAT HAVE BEEN
BUILT WITH STATE. AND LOCAL
BONDS- THIS IT WHEN THEY OF
FACILITY CAN SELL OPTED PRIVATE
TO. FOR HOUSING FOR STRIP MALLS
WHATEVER- AFTER THEY GO THROUGH
A PROCESS BUT HER SCHOOLS ARE
PART OF THAT PROCESS AND SO- SO
NOT HAVING THAT OPPORTUNITY.
MEANS THAT WE'VE WE'VE FLIP THE
SCALE HERE RIGHT WE DON'T EVEN
HAVE AN EVEN SCALE RIGHT NOW
WITH ACCESS FOR CHARTERS TO
FACILITIES IN THE STATE. AND NOW
WE'RE WE'RE GIVING DISTRICTS
ANOTHER OPTION TO TAKE CHARTER
FACILITIES BUT NOT GIVING
CHARTERS AND THE OPTION TO DO
ANY ANYTHING ELSE ON THE POLICY.
AND AGAIN THAT ISSUE IS
COMPLETELY OUT OF THE SCOPE OF
THIS BILL. IT IS CERTAINLY
SOMETHING TO BE CONSIDERED I
WILL CERTAINLY SUPPORT ANOTHER A
LEGISLATOR AT A DIFFERENT TIME
TAKING UP THAT ISSUE. OUT WHICH
WOULD GO INTO LOOKING AT THE ART
THE USE OF OUR- AT OUR PROP
NINETY EIGHT DOLLARS THE- THE
REGULATIONS THAT WE HAVE AROUND
THE SEVEN ELEVEN PROCESS AND
THE- DISTRIBUTION OF SURPLUS
LAND. I EIGHT WILL IT TRIGGER AS
A SET OF- EXAMINATIONS THAT ARE
FAR BEYOND THE SCOPE OF THIS
BILL WHICH IS CONSPECIFIC WE
SPOKE TO THE USE OF THE-
HOLOFERNES SCHOOLS- FACILITY
GRANT PROGRAM. AND I AND I
WELCOME THAT BEING AT AN AREA OF
INVESTIGATION FOR AND I
APPRECIATE WITH. A SIMILAR RUN
WITH YOUR COMMENTS I ACTUALLY
AGREE WITH YOU IS SO CENTER
WINNERS GOT WINTER HAD A BILL. I
THINK THREE YEARS AGO THAT THAT
ACTUALLY- DESERVE ADDRESSED THIS
ISSUE AND TRY TO CREATE A
FRAMEWORK FOR THAT. BY AND THAT
IS CERTAINLY SUBJECT TO AN
ADDITIONAL EFFORT I'D BE GLAD BE
PART OF THAT CONVERSATION. YOUR
BILL HERE IS ABOUT THE STATE'S
KIND OF FIDUCIARY. OBLIGATIONS
WHEN IT COMES TO PUBLICLY
FINANCED. PROJECTS WHERE WHERE
AND- YOU KNOW THERE'S A SALE AND
DISPOSITION **** THEIR NET
PROCEEDS- IT SO WITH THAT IN
MIND AND TAKING. NOTE OF THE
FACT THAT WOULD WORK VERY HARD
AND I'M HAPPY TO CONTINUE DOING
SO AS A COMMITTEE I'M GLAD TO
HEAR. THAT THE AUTHORS WANT TO
CONTINUE DOING SO- AS WELL WE'RE
HAPPY TO WORK WITH CCSS- ON ON
THE QUESTION- DESERT SEPARATE.
BUT I ON THE ICE THE RELIC HERE
IS IT THE IMPACT OF THESE. ON
YOU KNOW IN THIS OR YOU. IS YOUR
ABILITY. TO RAISE FOR THE KIND
BOND AND I DO NOT WANT TO SEE-
AN ADVERSE RESULTS. FROM WHAT IS
OTHERWISE I THINK RESPONSIBLE
LEGISLATION. HAVING SAID THAT
ANYTHING ELSE MY COLLEAGUES. AND
LOOKING FOR A MOTION WOULD YOU
LIKE TO CLOSE. THANK YOU I JUST.
WANT TO REITERATE THAT THIS IS A
PROACTIVE SOLUTION WE KNOW THAT
WE ARE IN. A IN A STATE OF
UNFORTUNATE DECLINING ENROLLMENT
IN MANY OF OUR SCHOOLS- THAT
THIS WILL BE AN ISSUE THAT OUR
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE GOING TO
HAVE TO FACE. AS WE INVESTIGATE
AND LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS
LEGISLATION AND WITH THE
AUDITOR'S REPORT. OUT WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE ACTING
RESPONSIBLY WHEN IT COMES TO.
BILLION DOLLARS OF STATE DOLLARS
INVESTED TOWARDS INFRASTRUCTURE
AND IT IS ABSOLUTELY CRITICAL
THAT WE HAVE TRANSPARENCY AROUND
THE USE OF THOSE DOLLARS AND
THAT THOSE DOLLARS GET RETAINED
FOR. THE PURPOSE OF ENSURING
THAT WE HAVE EDUCATIONAL
FACILITIES AVAILABLE TO OUR MOST
NEEDED COMMUNITIES WITH THAT ARE
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR A-

HIGHLIGHTED BY THE STATE

AGO- THAT- OFTEN. B. R. ELEAZAR
HAVING TO DEAL WITH CONFLICTING-
AND CONFUSING- APPLICATION
PROCEDURES- ONE ADMINISTERED BY
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION AND
OTHER THE OTHER BY. A COMMITTEE
COLLEGES I THINK IT'S NOTEWORTHY
THAT THIS BILL IS NOT ONLY
SUPPORTED BY ALL OF THE MAJOR
STAKEHOLDERS AND CURRENT
TECHNICAL EDUCATION BUT IT IS
NOT OPPOSED BY THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNICABLE LEDGES. I WANTED TO
OPEN THE GOVERNOR'S OFFICES
HEARING THAT- I WOULD BE HAPPY
TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS. AND-
HERE IN SUPPORT OF. THIS BILL I
HAVE. WHAT IS MY LIST HERE. LET
ME TURN OVER TO GOOD AS OF THE

GRANT ADMINISTERED BY THE C. D.
E. OPERATE WITH UNIQUE
ELIGIBILITY RECORDING REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS. OUR MEMBERS HAVE
LAMENTED THAT THE ADMINISTRATIVE
STRAIN OF TWO SEPARATE SYSTEMS
CREATES UNNECESSARY WORK AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL AND TAKES FOCUS AWAY
FROM THE CORE FUNCTION OF
DELIVERING HIGH QUALITY CTE
PROGRAMS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
STAFF TIME COULD BE BETTER SPENT
LINKING WITH ADDITIONAL INDUSTRY
PARTNERS IN THE COMMUNITY TO
ENHANCE PROGRAMS THEY COULD BE
IMPROVING WORK BASED LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES AND PARTNERSHIPS
AND THEY COULD EVEN BE SPENDING
MORE TIME RECRUITING INDUSTRY
PARTNERS WHO MIGHT MAKE
EXEMPLARY CTP TEACHERS AND COACH
THEM ON HOW TO EARN THEIR CLEAR
CT CREDENTIAL. UNFORTUNATELY
ADMINISTRATORS DESCRIBE HOW
THEIR FOCUS AND ATTENTION IS
OFTEN A NAVIGATING THESE TWO
DIFFERENT SETS OF SYSTEMS. ARE
WITH GRANT FUNDING AND REPORTING
THAT OPERATE UNDER TOTALLY
SEPARATE TIME FRAMES. THE BILL
HAS THE BENEFIT OF CREATING ONE
SEAMLESS SYSTEM FOR C. T.
CHAMPIONS TO NAVIGATE. AS WELL
AS THE ADDED BENEFITS OF
INCREASED- PROFESSIONAL SUPPORT
FROM THE CD. AND THE FORMATION
OF A WORK GROUP THAT WILL
EXAMINE HOW TO FURTHER MAXIMIZE
CTE OFFERINGS FOR STUDENTS- SO
WITH THESE REASONS- WE ASK FOR
YOUR SUPPORT- AND I. OFTENTIMES

CORTESE JEFF WALKER REPRESENTING
THE RIVERSIDE COUNTY

THE SPIRIT OF BREVITY TO- MY
COLLEAGUE MS KAMINSKI I WOULD
ADD. ARSIA WE OPERATES ROBUST. A
CITY PROGRAMS IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH OUR TWENTY THREE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY.
WHEN THE STRONG WORK FORCE
PROGRAM WAS INSTITUTED. WE DID
HAVE A LITTLE BIT OF SKEPTICISM
BUT WE WANTED TO WAIT AND SEE
HOW THINGS WOULD PLAY OUT- I
THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY I CAN'T
REMEMBER EXACTLY HOW MANY YEARS
WE ARE INTO- THE BIFURCATION
NOW. BUT WE DO SEE THE KIND OF
ADMINISTRATIVE ISSUES THAT MS
KAMINSKI MENTIONED AT RC A WE
HAVE TO HAVE STAFF THAT ARE
DEDICATED TO THE TWO SEPARATE
PROGRAMS. THAT NOW EXIST AND IN
ADDITION WE HAVE ALSO SEEN FROM
OUR PERSPECTIVE WHAT WE FEEL ARE
SOME QUESTIONABLE FUNDING
DECISIONS ABOUT THE REGIONAL-
OVERSIGHT OF THE STRONG WORK
FORCE PROGRAM. AND ULTIMATELY
WHEN WE END UP HAVING TO TALK
ABOUT THESE TYPES OF ADULT
ISSUES IT IMPACTS THE PROGRAMS
AND THEIR ABILITY TO SERVE THE
STUDENTS. SO WE THANK ASSEMBLY
MEMBER VARSITY FOR THE
LEGISLATION WE DO BELIEVE THAT
MAKES SENSE FOR A POLY POLICY
PERSPECTIVE- TO CONSOLIDATE THE
TWO PROGRAMS AND IF WE THINK
THAT WILL BETTER. SERVE THE

THIS- MET. WOULD OF WHAT WE'VE
DONE CALIFORNIA LAST YEAR'S
WHICH IS DRAMATICALLY EXPAND THE
CAL GRANT PROGRAMS IN THE MIDDLE
CLASS SCHOLARSHIP TO COVER THE
FULL. COST OF COLLEGE NOT JUST
TUITION- WHERE ABOUT A THIRD OF
THE WAY THERE TO HAVE DEBT FREE
COLLEGE IN CALIFORNIA- THIS
WOULD HELP US CONTINUE ON THAT
PATH- SETTING MARKS ALONG THE
WAY. THAT THIS STATE TO BE A
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE COULD
INVEST TO MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
FOCUSED ON EXPANDING COLLEGE
ACCESS WE KNOW THAT'S NOT JUST
TUITION AS IN YEARS PAST THE
COST OF COLLEGES BOOKS AND
HOUSING AND TRANSPORTATION. AND
FOOD AND THIS WOULD DO JUST THAT
BY EXPANDING THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP AND CAL GRANT TO
FOCUS ON A DEBT FREE COLLEGE IN
CALIFORNIA NOT FREE DEBT FREE
WERE STUDENTS HAVE TO PAY BASED
UPON THEIR FAMILY INCOME WHEN
THEY HAVE TO OFFER. WORK FIFTEEN
HOURS A WEEK BUT- WITH THIS-
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO NOT TAKE
OUT STUDENT LOANS AND GRADUATE
WITHOUT STUDENT DEBT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK RIVAL TO
WITNESSES HERE TODAY AS WELL. NO
WELCOME TO YOUR FIRST WITNESS.
HI GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
SABRINA ESTRADA AND I'M A TWENTY
TWENTY GRADUATE OF THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS.
RECEIVED A BACHELOR'S DEGREE IN
POLITICAL SCIENCE. I BELIEVE I
CAN OFFER A UNIQUE PERSPECTIVE
AS A STUDENT THAT IS ATTENDED A
PRIVATE UNIVERSITY A CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND A PUBLIC
CALIFORNIA UNIVERSITY.
REGARDLESS OF THE HIGHER
EDUCATION INSTITUTION I KNOW ONE
THING IS CERTAIN. COLLEGE IS
VERY EXPENSIVE. EDUCATION HAS
ALWAYS BEEN EMPHASIZED IN MY
FAMILY. MY FATHER HAS AN
ASSOCIATE'S DEGREE FROM A
COMMUNITY COLLEGE AND MY MOTHER
HAS A HIGH SCHOOL DIPLOMA. SO
MANY PARENTS DO THEY DREAMED OF
ME AND MY SIBLINGS ACHIEVING A
HIGHER EDUCATION. HOWEVER BEING
THE YOUNGEST OF FIVE CHILDREN.
MEANT THAT THE COST OF LIVING IN
TUITION FOR EACH OF US WAS
SIMPLY NOT FEASIBLE. AS A FULL
TIME STUDENT I PARTICIPATED IN
NUMEROUS PROGRAMS AND CLUBS.
INTRINSICALLY MEMBER MCCARTY'S
OFFICE AND HELD TWO PART TIME
JOBS. I RECEIVED SCHOLARSHIPS
QUALIFY FOR THE FEDERAL PELL
GRANTS. AND LIVED AT HOME TO GET
THE SIGNIFICANT COST THAT COMES
WITH THE PENDING COLLEGE. I TOOK
ADVANTAGE OF EVERY SAFETY NET
AVAILABLE TO ME YET I STILL
STRUGGLE TO PAY FOR MY DEGREE.
WHAT'S SO MANY HAD COSTS OF
COLLEGE NOT ENCOMPASS TUITION.
RATES FOR STUDENTS MORE SUPPORT.
I BELIEVE THAT OF CALDERA
FORMING INTO AFFECT WELL I'M
STILL A STUDENT. IT WOULD
ALLEVIATED THE HARDSHIPS THAT
COME WITH MY STUDENT AT.
STUDENTS SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON
THEIR CLASS WORK AND GAINING THE
EXPERIENCE NECESSARY TO ENTER
THIS VERY COMPETITIVE JOB
MARKET. NOT THE BURDEN OF
STUDENTS AT. FOR THOSE REASONS I
ASK THAT YOU PLEASE BUT I ON AB
TWENTY FIVE. TO ENSURE THE DEBT
FREE COLLEGE IS A REALITY FOR
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS. THANK YOU
THANK YOU. IN YOUR NECK OF THE
NEXT WITNESS PLEASE WELCOME.
GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE MY NAME
IS SALIM JERRY DEAN AND I'M AN
INCOMING SENIOR AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA DAVIS
WERE ALSO SERVICE THE EXTERNAL
AFFAIRS VICE PRESIDENT FOR AS-
I'M THINKING FOR YOUR TIME TODAY
AND I'M GOING TO SPEAK A LITTLE
BIT. ON TO MY OWN EXPERIENCE AND
ALSO AS TO WHY YOU SEE A CITIES.
SUPPORTING THIS BILL- I AM A CAL
GRANT AND THE MIDDLE CLASS
SCHOLARSHIP RECIPIENT AND IT IS
BECAUSE OF THESE TWO BRANDS THAT
I AM IN THE POSITION I AM TODAY
AND I AM ABLE TO ATTEND COLLEGE.
I WAS A SENIOR DURING THE
PANDEMIC TWENTY TWENTY- SO LONG
WAS GOING ON WE RECEIVING A
COLLEGE ACCEPTANCE LETTERS AND
FOR ME. AFTER I APPLIED MY
CURRENT TO THE STATE MEET DOWN
ON I KNEW ABOUT IT GOING INTO IT
BUT- MY PARENTS AT THE SYDNEY
DOWN AND HAVE THAT FINANCES TALK
BECAUSE- YOU TO PERSONAL AND
RELIGIOUS REASONS WE CANNOT TAKE
OUT HUGE LOANS IN ORDER TO PAY
FOR MY COLLEGE. SO COMING INTO
MY SENIOR YEAR KIND OF KNOWING
THIS AND HAVING PROP YOU KNOW MY
EXTRA CURRICULAR IS THE CLASSES
THAT I WAS THINKING. IS VERY
DISHEARTENING BECAUSE NOW I
COULDN'T ACCEPT SOME ACCEPTANCE
IS BECAUSE WE COULD NOT AFFORD.
FOR ME TO ATTEND COLLEGE.

REMEMBER I HAD BEEN WAITLISTED
FOR DAVIS AND WHEN I HAD OPENED
MY APPLICATION. I WANTED TO HAVE
SOME JOY ABOUT GOING INTO YOU
KNOW FOR YOUR INSTITUTION I MADE
IT I STUDY HARD. PANDEMICS IT'LL
BE OVER BUT- I COULDN'T HAVE
THAT CHOICE IN THAT MOMENT
BECAUSE THE FIRST QUESTION. I
HAVE TO ANSWER FOR MYSELF AND
FOR MY FAMILY IS. CAN I AFFORD
TO GO DAVIS AND WHAT KIND OF
FINANCIAL AID PACKAGE THAT I
RECEIVED. I TO HOLD BACK JOY IN
THAT MOMENT AS A LIKE RUSH TO
OPEN MY BILL WHICH IS WHERE WE
SEE YOUR FINANCIAL AID AWARDS.
AND THAT'S WHERE I SAW THAT I
HAD. THAT FINANCIAL AID CAL
GRANT. AND I DON'T THINK AT THE
TIME THERE'S NO COST BUT- NOW
THAT I HAVE AS WELL. AND THAT
WAS WHEN I COULD ACTUALLY FEEL
THAT JOY AND I COULD GO AHEAD
AND- YOU KNOW BE HAPPY ABOUT.
GETTING INTO COLLEGE REMEMBER I
BROKE DOWN CRYING THAT DAY
BECAUSE- AFTER I'D SEEN THE
FINANCIALLY PACKAGE BECAUSE I
CAUGHT. YOU KNOW IF I COULD
ATTEND DAVIS AT THE TIME- BUT
WITH THE I ALSO BE YOUNGER
BROTHER COMING UP. AND HE'S
GOING TO GO THROUGH THE SAME YOU
KNOW EMOTIONS ASIDE. AND THERE
SO MANY OTHER STUDENTS IN MY
SITUATION WHO CANNOT ATTEND.
UNIVERSITIES. BECAUSE IF THEY
DON'T HAVE BOB ANY SORT OF FIND.

MISTER CHAIR- THIS BILL WILL
HELP OUR NEWCOMER STUDENTS SIXTY
IN OUR K. TWELVE SCHOOLS WHERE
NEWCOMER STUDENTS THAT COULD BE
IMMIGRANT STUDENTS ARE REFUGEES
WE KNOW- WE'VE SEEN- INFLUX IN
CALIFORNIA IN RECENT YEARS IN
CALIFORNIA HISTORICALLY HAS
BEEN. A TOP DESTINATION FOR
REFUGEES SPECIALLY PEOPLE.
LEAVING WAR TORN COUNTRIES WHOSE
FAMILIES HAVE SERVED OUR COUNTRY
AS WELL AND THIS WOULD ENSURE
THAT THEY SUCCEED BECAUSE THEIR
SUCCESS IS OUR SUCCESS WE DON'T
ALWAYS KNOW HOW THEY'RE DOING-
WHEN THEY COME HERE TO YOUR
EDUCATION NETWORK. SO THIS WOULD
ALLOW A CITY TO BETTER COLLECT
DATA AND OFFER INSTRUCTIONAL
GUIDANCE TO SCHOOLS THROUGHOUT.
CALIFORNIA PLEASE ASK YOUR RIVAL
I HAVE A FEW WITNESSES HE WITH
ME TODAY TO- TO SPEAK THIS
MEASURE VERY GOOD FIRST WHAT. HI
AFTERNOON. MY NAME IS HEATHER
HUFF I'M THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
OF PACE POLICY ANALYSIS FOR
CALIFORNIA EDUCATION A RESEARCH
CONSORTIUM BASED AT STANFORD
UNIVERSITY ALSO IN PARTNERSHIP
WITH UC BERKELEY. UC DAVIS UCLA
AND USC. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
PACE LAUNCHED AN INITIATIVE ON
NEWCOMER STUDENTS IN WHICH A
GROUP OF LEADING EXPERTS FROM
ACROSS RESEARCH POLICY AND
PRACTICE DEVELOPS NEW KNOWLEDGE
AND APPROACHES. TO ADDRESS THE
BALLISTIC NEEDS OF IMMIGRANT AND
REFUGEE STUDENTS. IT'S BEEN SAID
THAT THE TRUE MEASURE OF ANY
SOCIETY CAN BE FOUND IN HOW IT
TREATS ITS MOST VULNERABLE
MEMBERS. OUR PARTNERSHIP FOUND
THAT THERE ARE SIGNIFICANT
OPPORTUNITIES FOR IMPROVING
EDUCATION AND SUPPORT FOR
NEWCOMERS AND OUR STATE. WE'RE
PLEASED TO SEE SEVERAL OF THESE
POLICY OPPORTUNITY IS REFLECTED
IN AB SEVEN ONE FOUR INCLUDING A
MORE NUANCED DATA SYSTEM.
CURRENTLY OUR DATA AND
ACCOUNTABILITY SYSTEM CONFLATES
NEWCOMERS WITH ENGLISH LEARNERS
IN ONE CATEGORY WHEN WE KNOW
THROUGH DISAGGREGATED ANALYSIS
THIS CONFLATION MASKS THAT THE
DROP OUT RATE FOR EXAMPLE FOR
NEWCOMERS. IS OVER FOUR TIMES
THE DROP OUT RATE FOR NON
NEWCOMER ENGLISH LEARNER
STUDENTS AND ALSO MASKS THEIR
LOWER PROFICIENCY LEVELS AND
HIGHER OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL NEEDS.
THIS LACK OF DATA ON NEWCOMER
STUDENTS RENDERS THEM INVISIBLE
TO LEADERS WHO COULD DEVELOP
APPROACHES TO ADDRESS THEIR
UNIQUE NEEDS. WE ALSO KNOW THAT
NEWCOMERS BENEFIT FROM
SPECIALIZED CURRICULA AND
INSTRUCTION. CURRENTLY EDUCATORS
ARE INDIVIDUALLY ASSEMBLING
THEIR OWN APPROACHES BUT
EVIDENCE BASED INSTRUCTIONAL
GUIDANCE IS NECESSARY TO MOVE
TOWARD A VISION IN WHICH EVERY
NEWCOMER STUDENT RECEIVES
QUALITY INSTRUCTION AND SUPPORT
IN OUR STATE. LEADERS FROM THE
STATE'S LARGEST DISTRICTS HAVE
TOLD PACE THAT THEY'RE EAGER FOR
THE TYPES OF NEWCOMER SPECIFIC
GUIDANCE MATERIALS AND DATA
REFLECTED IN AB SEVEN ONE FOUR.
LOOKING OUTSIDE OF CALIFORNIA WE
FIND THAT MANY OTHER STATES HAVE
FAR MORE SOPHISTICATED DATA
SYSTEMS FOR UNDERSTANDING THEIR
NEWCOMER STUDENTS NEEDS. AS WELL
AS MORE ROBUST STATE LEVEL
SUPPORT FOR CURRICULUM AND
TRAINING AND CALIFORNIA. AB
SEVEN FOURTEEN WILL BRING US A
STEP CLOSER TO ALIGNMENT WITH
WHAT IS CONSIDERED BEST PRACTICE
AT THE STATE LEVEL. AND ARE
NEWCOMERS WILL BE THE ULTIMATE
BENEFICIARIES. THANK YOU. THANK
YOU AT. NEXT WITNESS. WELCOME IN
TWO MINUTES GOOD AFTERNOON
HONORABLE MEMBERS OF THE STATE
SENATE EDUCATION COMMITTEE THANK
YOU FOR ALLOWING ME THE
PRIVILEGE OF ADDRESSING YOU
TODAY. I AM A FRAME TO OUR- AND
EXPERIENCE EDUCATOR WITH OVER
TWENTY FIVE YEARS OF PUBLIC
SERVICE. CURRENTLY I SERVE AS A
NEWCOMER TEACHER AT ABRAHAM
LINCOLN MIDDLE SCHOOL IN SELMA
CALIFORNIA RAISING CAPITAL THE
WORLD. I AM ALSO THE FOUNDER OF
THE CALIFORNIA NEWCOMER NETWORK
A COMMUNITY OF FIVE HUNDRED AT
YOUR KITCHEN LEADERS. DEDICATED
TO SUPPORTING NEWCOMER STUDENTS
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. TODAY I STAND
BEFORE YOU WHOLE HEARTEDLY.
SUPPORT AB SEVEN FOURTEEN AND
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST YOUR
CONSIDERATION FOR THIS HISTORIC
BILL. ITS SIGNIFICANCE CANNOT BE
OVERSTATED. L. AS IT IS DIRECTLY
AFFECTS THE WELL BEING OF OUR
PRECIOUS STUDENTS CHILDREN. AB
SEVEN FOURTEEN HAS THE POWER TO
SHAPE HISTORY BY SAFEGUARDING
THE CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS OF ALL
CHILDREN. ESPECIALLY NEWCOMERS
AND ENSURING THAT THEY ARE SEEN.
VALUED AND SUPPORTED. ALLOW ME
TO QUICKLY I'D LIKE TO
COMPELLING REASONS WHY AB SEVEN
FOURTEEN IS CRUCIAL. FIRSTLY AB
SEVEN FOURTEEN A KNOWLEDGES AND
ADDRESSES THE UNIQUE CHALLENGES
FACED BY YOUR NEWCOMER STUDENTS
IN CALIFORNIA. BY PROVIDING CUT
A COMPREHENSIVE SUPPORT THROUGH
THIS LEGISLATION WE CAN MAKE A
PROFOUND IMPACT. ON THE LIVES ON
THEIR LIVES LEGISLATION THAT
PRIORITIZES AND THE WELL BEING
OF THE RIGHTS OF OUR CHILDREN IS
IMMENSELY POWERFUL. AB SEVEN
FOURTEEN HAS THE POTENTIAL TO
ESTABLISH AN ERA FOR ALL
CHILDREN. JOUNI COVERS FOR THIS
THAT THE NEED AND DESERVE.
CURRENTLY THERE IS NO STATEWIDE
FRAMEWORK TO GUIDE US TEACHERS
ADMINISTRATORS EDU LEADERS. IT
ALSO LEADING TO INCONSISTENT
STUDENT OUTCOMES AND LIMITED
UNDERSTANDING OF THE PROGRESS
FOR EXAMPLE EACH DISTRICT IN
CALIFORNIA MAY NEED TO FIND NEW
COMER DIFFERENTLY LEADING TO
COMPLICATIONS WHEN STUDENTS
TRANSFER BETWEEN DISTRICTS.
DESCENDERS OUR ABILITY TO
PROVIDE RESOURCES AND SUPPORT
THROUGHOUT THEIR ACADEMIC
JOURNEY. IN CONCLUSION AB SEVEN
FOURTEEN IS A COMPREHENSIVE AND
INDISPENSABLE MEASURE DESIGNED
TO ADDRESS THE EDUCATIONAL NEEDS
OF OUR STUDENTS. ENGLISH
LEARNERS AND IMMIGRANT FAMILIES
BY PROVIDING GUIDANCE RESOURCES
AND FLEXIBILITY TOWARDS SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THIS LEGISLATION
CHAMPIONS INCLUSIVE AND
EQUITABLE EDUCATIONAL PRACTICES.

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR NO
PATIENT- I'VE BEEN OUT FOR THE
PARTNERSHIP FOR CHILDREN AND
YOUTH WERE A MEMBER OF THE
CALIFORNIA AFTER SCHOOL ADVOCACY
ALLIANCE A STATEWIDE COALITION
EXPANDED LEARNING PROVIDERS AND
INTERMEDIARIES SERVING OVER.
THREE HUNDRED FIFTY THOUSAND
STUDENTS I NEARLY NINETEEN
HUNDRED SCHOOL CAMPUSES IN
NEARLY EVERY REGION OF THE STATE
AND WE'RE THAT PROVINCES OF THIS
BILL. I KRYSTLE SPOKE DIRECTLY
TO THE UNIQUE VALUE OF EXPANDED
EARNING PROGRAMS IN THE LIVES OF
STUDENTS ESPECIALLY OLDER YOUTH
AND THEIR FAMILIES ALL FOCUS ON
THE TWO OTHER. ELEMENTS OF THIS
BILL FIRST AB ELEVEN THIRTEEN
REQUIRES CD TO COLLECT AND ROMAN
DATE ON EVERY STUDENT ENROLLED
IN EXPANDED LEARNING PROGRAM VIA
OF THE COW PATS SYSTEM. WE CAN
ALREADY SEE THE POSITIVE
OUTCOMES OF THE EXPANDED
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
PROGRAMMER ELP INVESTMENTS ARE
HAVING FOR STUDENTS FAMILIES AND
COMMUNITIES AND BY COLLECTING
DATA ON EXPAND LEARNING PEOPLE'S
WE CAN ENSURE THAT FUNDING IS
USED FOR THAT. SURE FUNDS ARE
USED FOR INTENDED PURPOSE AND A
REASON STUDENTS NEED THE MOST
AND TO BETTER UNDERSTAND WHO IS
BEING SERVED BY YELLOW P. I WANT
TO THANK THE COMMITTEE FOR
WORKING WITH US TO ADD
AMENDMENTS TO STREAMLINE DATA
COLLECTION REDUCE REPORTING
REDUNDANCIES AND BURDENS ON
SCHOOL DISTRICTS. AND FURTHER
INTEGRATE EXPAND LEARNING INTO
THE CONTINUE OF CARE FOR YOU
THAT ALSO USE OF DEVELOPMENT.
SECOND FINALLY AB ELEVEN
THIRTEEN PROVIDES A COST OF
LIVING ADJUSTMENT FOR THE AFTER
SCHOOL EDUCATION AND SAFETY OR
ACES. AND THE FEDERAL TWENTY
FIRST CENTURY COMMUNITY LEARNING
CENTERS PROGRAMS. THIS CALL WILL
BE EQUAL TO THAT WHICH LCF AND
CHILD CARE PROVIDERS RECEIVE
THIS YEAR. WE'RE THRILLED AT THE
STATE RECOGNIZES THE CRITICAL
ROLE EDUCATORS AND CHILD CARE
PROVIDERS PLAY IN OUR USED

CHALLENGES ACROSS EDUCATION

FOR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS-
EXPENDABLE IN PROGRAMS COMPETE
FOR YOUNG TALENTED WORKERS
AGAINST INDUSTRIES SUCH AS
RETAIL FAST FOOD THAT ARE ABLE
TO PASS INCREASED COSTS ON TO
CONSUMERS. BUSSMANN EXPAND
LEARNING PROVIDERS ARE
STRUGGLING TO RECRUIT TRAIN AND
RETAIN QUALITY STAFF. ULTIMATELY
THIS BILL PROVIDES. OR SUPPORTS

FOCUS IN ON. OUR ON THE- FOOD-
INTO. FOR OUR CALL STUDENTS INTO
OUR THERE'S A THERE'S A-
ESPECIALLY UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS

SPONSORED BY THE CAMPAIGN FOR

WELCOME BACK. HERE WHILE HEARING
HIM IN- THANK YOU ASSEMBLY

SPONSORS AND COULD BE HERE
TODAY. I'M I'M HERE REPRESENTING
THE COALITION OF OVER FORTY
ORGANIZATIONS WHO ARE DEDICATED
TO ENSURING. EVERY A DOCUMENT
SHE DIDN'T OUR STATE COMMISSION
CALIFORNIA DREAM. THIS IS ONLY
POSSIBLE IF WE AT THE STATE ARE
INTENTIONAL ABOUT ACKNOWLEDGING
AND REPAIRING HISTORICAL
INEQUITIES IN THE WAY WE SUPPORT
STUDENTS REACHING THEIR GOALS.
OVER THE LAST TWO THAT
CALIFORNIA HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT
. IN SUPPORTING UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS WARY FOSS WERE STILL
FAR SHORT IS AN ACCESS TO FOOD
BENEFITS A BASIC NEED THAT IS A
CORE OF HUMAN SURVIVAL. DESPITE
THE AID OFFERED THROUGH THE
CALIFORNIA DREAM ACT APPLICATION
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS ARE
CURRENTLY BARRED. ANY FORM OF
FOOD BENEFITS YEAH CALFRESH DUE
TO IT BEING A FEDERALLY FUNDED
PROGRAM. AND RECENT REPORTS SHOW
THAT UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS AT
THE CSU AND UC FACE FOOD
INSECURITY AT A RATE OF 59% THAT
SIXTEEN POINT 2% GREATER THAN
THEIR PEERS. WE ALSO KNOW THAT
FOOD IN SECURITY AND A LACK OF
PROPER NUTRITION IMPACTS EVERY
OTHER ASPECT OF THE STUDENTS
LIFE- AS YOU HEAR FROM RUSSIAN
TESTIFIED TODAY MOST
SIGNIFICANTLY THE MENTAL HEALTH.
AND ABILITY TO FOCUS IN CLASS
AND PERFORM WELL IN SCHOOL. AB
THIRTEEN NINETY THREE ONE SURE
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENTS NO LONGER
NEED TO MAKE THE DIFFICULT
DECISION- OF CHOOSING BETWEEN
NOURISHING THEIR BODIES FIND A
TEXTBOOK OR PAYING FOR RENT.
THIS BILL STREAMLINED FOR THE
BENEFIT EIGHT DIRECTLY INTO AN
ELIGIBLE DREAM ACT RECIPIENTS
FINANCIAL AID AWARD WHICH
ESTIMATES INDICATE COULD BE X.
THIRTEEN THOUSAND STUDENTS. I'M
HOW FRESHMAN EFFICIENT OF THIS
PROGRAM WILL NOT HAVE TO SUBMIT
AN ADDITIONAL APPLICATION TO
RECEIVE BENEFITS. NOR WILL THEY
BE TIED TO STRENUOUS ELIGIBILITY
REQUIREMENTS SUCH AS EMPLOYMENT
WHICH WE KNOW UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS. CANNOT LEGALLY DEAL
WITHOUT DACA STATUS OR OTHERWISE
. ADDITIONALLY AS A NUMBER OF
ELIGIBLE DACA STUDENTS THE
WINDOW AND THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT HAS YET TO CREATE A
PATHWAY TO CITIZENSHIP. FOR
UNDOCUMENTED COMMUNITIES THIS
POLICY IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO
CONTINUE TO MOVE A STATE IN THE
RIGHT DIRECTION. AS WE AWAIT
MORE PERMANENT SOLUTIONS.
FINALLY TO MEASURE ITS IMPACT AB
THIRTEEN NINETY THREE REQUIRE C.
SOCK TO CONDUCT A SURVEY. TO
EVALUATE THE PROGRAM'S IMPACT
AND EFFICACY ALONG THE PULP
PILOT PROGRAM TO REALLY SERVE AS
AN IMPORTANT MECHANISM FOR THE
STATE TO STUDY THE IMPACT. A
SAFETY NET PROGRAMS. AND HOW
THEY ARE CONTRIBUTED TIMELY
DEGREE COMPLETION. CALIFORNIA
PRICE MATCH AS YOU TO FINISH UP.
CALIFORNIA PRESENTS ITSELF AND
BEING IN IN- IN PROVIDING WITH
RIGHTS AND WE RESPECT WITH. YOUR
SUPPORT AND VOTE- I AM IS THANK
MCCARTY YOUR WORK PAVING THE WAY
. FOR THIS POLICY THANK YOU
THANK TESTIMONY- ANY REAL SICK

IS SUPER INCOME FRESHMEN UP ALSO
BECAUSE PER. YOUR THE LAST WEEK
ON BEHALF OF DOCUMENT INCIDENT
CAN. STUDENTS LIKE MY WHO BEEN
CIVIC ENGAGED AND MEANT GOOD.
STANDING DESPITE RISEN IN A THAT
X. TO LIKE ME. AS A HIGH SCHOOL
I SAW ON THE BOARD ED. OF ALSO
YOU. IN THE POSITION OF STUDENT
BOARD MEMBER. DURING MY TERM I
NOTICED A LACK OF EMPHASIS IN
RESOURCE FOR OUR- AND- STUDENTS
IN HIGHER EDUCATION. MY INITIAL
HIGHER ETHICAL WAS TO
IMMEDIATELY ATTEND A UNIVERSITY
I WAS AWARE OF THE CHALLENGES I
WOULD HAVE FACED AS AN
UNDOCUMENTED STUDENT LIVING AWAY
FROM HOME WITH NO WORK
AUTHORIZATION. NO HEALTHCARE
BENEFITS OR FEDERAL FINANCIAL
AID. I OFTEN WORRIED ABOUT HOW I
WOULD PAY FOR MY LIVING EXPENSES
ESPECIALLY FOR MY FOOD IF I
LEGALLY CANNOT WORK THROUGHOUT
MY COLLEGE JOURNEY. IN HIGH
SCHOOL I AM GRATEFUL THAT I WAS
ABLE TO PARTICIPATE IN A PROGRAM
THAT ALLOWED ME TO RECEIVE. FREE
OR REDUCED MEALS IN SCHOOL. BUT
AS A PROSPECTIVE COLLEGE STUDENT
I WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO COUNT ON A
PROGRAM LIKE THAT ANYMORE.
DESPITE MY CONTINUED OPTIMISM
FINDING WAYS TO NAVIGATE AROUND
THESE FINANCIAL BARRIERS WAS TOO
CHALLENGING SO I ULTIMATELY
ENROLLED IN COMMUNITY COLLEGE. I
CONSIDER MYSELF A PRODUCTIVE
MEMBER OF SOCIETY AT AGE
EIGHTEEN AND BELIEVE IT SHOULD
NOT EXPERIENCED SUCH SETBACKS
WHEN DESIRING. TO PURSUE HIGHER
EDUCATION. WITH THE
IMPLEMENTATION OF THIS PROGRAM I
WILL OBTAIN ACCESS TO FOOD
BENEFITS THE SAME WAY MY
SIBLINGS WHO ARE CITIZENS. DO
WITH VERY LITTLE SUPPORT FOR
BASIC NEEDS FOR UNDOCUMENTED
STUDENTS I'M CONCERNED FOR OTHER
STUDENTS LIKE MYSELF. WHO
EXPERIENCED CHALLENGES MEETING
THESE ESSENTIAL NECESSITIES.
VOTING IN FAVOR OF AB ONE THREE
NINE THREE WILL CREATE A MORE
NURTURING COLLEGE EXPERIENCE FOR
STUDENTS LIKE ME. IMPROVING OUR
CAPACITY TO HAVE A POSITIVE
IMPACT ON OUR COMMUNITIES.
GRADUATE COLLEGE AND HAVE BETTER
CAREER SO THAT WE CAN PAY OUR
FAIR SHARE OF TAXES. AND OTHER
PRODUCTIVE ACTIVITIES. ALL
INDIVIDUAL SHUT IT SHOULD HAVE
EQUAL ACCESS TO FOOD BENEFITS
REGARDLESS OF IMMIGRATION
STATUS. IF WE WANT A SOCIETY
THAT IS MORE EQUITABLE.
INCLUSIVE AND COHESIVE. AS A
RESPECT AS A RESULT I
RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YES VOTE.

EIGHTEEN IT'S AB SEVEN TWENTY
ONE A POLICE PURSUIT. THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN I STATUS
SENATORS I WANNA START BY
THANKING MY TEAM AND ALSO THE
SPONSORS FOR THEIR HARD WORK ON
THIS BILL. AT THE OUTLINED
AMENDMENTS THAT THE CHEN I HAVE
WORKED ON WILL BE ACCEPTED AS
WELL. SB SEVEN TWENTY ONE WILL
MODERNIZE TELL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE ABLE TO POST BUDGET MEETING
NOTICES. THIS BILL PROVIDES
GREATER ACCESSIBILITY AND COST
EFFICIENCY FOR OUR TAXPAYERS.
CURRENT LAW FOR THE NINETEEN
SEVENTIES REQUIRES THAT COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS PUBLISHED
DISTRICT BUDGET MEETING NOTICES
IN THEIR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS. THESE
PUBLICATIONS BRING FINANCIAL
RESOURCES IN PIQUA STAFF TIME
THAT COULD BE SPENT MORE
EFFICIENTLY. AB SEVEN TWENTY ONE
PROVIDES FLEXIBILITY FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO CONTINUE POSTING
THROUGH NEWSPAPER MEDIUMS OR
THEIR WEBSITE. LEAVING THE
DECISION UP TO THE. LOCAL
JURISDICTION AND ELECTED
OFFICIALS. RIGHT INSTITUTIONS NO
AUDIENCE AND THE BEST A CALL TO
DECIDE HOW BUDGET KNOWS SHOULD
BE. ADDITIONALLY UPDATED THIS
OUTDATED STATUTE PROVIDE AID TO
THE STATES FINANCIAL FOR. WITH
ME TO PROVIDE TESTIMONY IS
MISTER GARY STEIN THE EXECUTIVE
DIRECTOR OF SUPPORT SERVICES FOR
THE ORANGE COUNTY DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION AND MICHELLE GUILD
DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND ADVOCACY
FOR THE CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION
OF SCHOOL BUSINESS OFFICIALS.
FRIEDMAN IS WELCOME PLACE FOR
SIX. THANK YOU VERY MUCH A GOOD
AFTERNOON. JERRY NEWMAN-
COMMITTEE MEMBERS AND STAFF
MEMBERS. THANK YOU FOR THIS
OPPORTUNITY MY NAME'S GARY STEIN
I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
THE OREGON DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION AND I'M HERE IN
SUPPORT OF EIGHTY SEVEN TWENTY
ONE. THE CONNECTION BETWEEN
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THE LOCAL
COMMUNITIES THIS IS CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT AND WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT COMMUNICATION REMAINS
INTACT. AND THAT IT IT HAPPENS-
EVERYTHING GAUGE WITH THE
COMMUNITIES AND THE WAY THAT IS
BEST FOR THAT EACH COMMUNITY.
AND THAT'S WHAT AB SEVEN TWENTY
ONE. REALLY AIMS TO DO IS TO
SIMPLY ALLOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
HAVE THE OPTION TO USE A MEDIUM
TO COMMUNICATE WITH THE PUBLIC-
THAT BEST FITS THEIR NEEDS. AND
TECHNOLOGY HAS BECOME A HUGE
PART OF OUR LIVES AS WE ALL
KNOW- IT ESPECIALLY SINCE THE
PANDEMIC WE HAVE HAD A GREATER
PUSH TOWARDS PUTTING MORE
ONLINE. AND THE LEGISLATURES
PASSED BILLS- TO SUPPORT THAT
TOO WE HAVE L. CAPS WE HAVE OF
THE EXTENT A LEARNING
OPPORTUNITY PLANS IF. EXPENSE
REPORTS EVERYTHING WE DO IS
POSTED ONLINE- THIS BILL WOULD
JUST SIMPLY. UNDER THAT KIND OF
MOVEMENT IN THAT DIRECTION AND
ALLOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO HAVE
THAT. COMMUNICATION LOCALLY
LOCALLY ELECTED OFFICIALS MAKE A
DETERMINATION AS TO WHAT WHAT
BEST ARE IS THE SISTER COMMUNITY
AND HOW TO COMMUNICATE. THE
POSTING OF THAT PUBLIC NOTICE MY
BUDGETARY- THE PROMOTES
CONSISTENCY IN A- MEDICATION AS
I MENTIONED WE ALREADY PUT MUCH
AROUND THERE AND EVERY BOARD
MEETING. EVERY DECISION THAT'S
MADE IS PUBLISHED ONLINE ON
THEIR WEBSITE. SO FOLLOWS ALONG
WITH THAT I WOULD. WITH A TREND.
SO- IT IN THE RECENT AND WITH IT
THE IT CAME TO BE IS IT- YOU
KNOW WHAT THE REALIZATION THAT-
REALLY THE TRANSITION OF
COMMUNICATION- FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS. REALLY SHOULD COULD
ALIGN. CALIFORNIANS ARE MORE
MORE- THEY'RE ACCESSING THE
INTERNET MORE OFTEN THAN NOT-
94% CALIFORNIA'S REPORTED HAVING
ACCESS THE INTERNET THROUGH THIS
ONE DEVICE. ACCORDING TO THE
PAC. AND THE LAST US CENSUS HAD
90% OF CALIFORNIANS WHO HAD
BROADBAND ACCESS. SO IT'S
SUPPORTS THAT- THE DIRECTIONS.
AND AGAIN SORRY. WILL NEVER
SPEND. YOU KNOW YOU'RE YOU'RE
DOING GREAT. IS IT THAT IS IF
THE STAKES ARE LOW HERE AT THIS
POINT YEAH HE'S COMMUNITY IS
VERY UNIQUE AND REALLY WANTED TO
RESPECT THAT AND ALLOW LOCAL
ELECTED OFFICIALS TO MAKE THAT
DECISION. AS TO HOW BEST TO
SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND THAT'S
WHAT THE MEMBERS WANT TO TRY TO
DO WITH THIS BILL AND WE SUPPORT
THAT WE SUPPORT THE AMENDMENTS
AT THE COMMITTEE HAS HAS
RECOMMENDED. I WE BELIEVE THAT
IT IT PROVIDES THAT THE THREE
YEAR PERIOD OF ADJUSTMENT AND
ALLOW FOR SOME SAMPLING OF
DISTRICTS THAT WE CAN HELP. YOU
BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW THE
COMMUNICATION TAKES PLACE THANK
YOU VERY MUCH FOR CONSIDERATION
IN YOUR TIME OF RESPECTFULLY.
REQUEST YOUR RIVALS. EIGHT THAT
ANY ANY OTHER WAY TO. INSTEAD OF
THE MEASURE. WELCOME I HAVE GOOD
AFTERNOON MR CHAIR ANDERSON-
COMMITTEE ARE SCHALKE WITH
KELLER SO OF SCHOOL BUSINESS OF
. AND ON BEHALF OF TWENTY FOUR
THOUSAND SCHOOL BUSINESS LEADERS
IN K. THROUGH FOURTEEN EDUCATION
ARE PROUD SUPPORTERS OF THE
BILL- THIS BILL WOULD MODERNIZE
THE STATUE REQUIREMENTS FOR IT
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS TO
PUBLISH. THE STATE BUDGET
NOTICES ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
WEBSITE. CURRENT LAW REQUIRES
THAT COUNTY SUPERINTENDENTS
PUBLISHED DISTRICT BUDGETS
MEETING NOTICES ON THEIR LOCAL
NEWSPAPERS. LEADING TO A LENGTHY
PROCESS OF STAFF DEDICATING
THEIR TIME TO COLLECT IN THE
NECESSARY DATA. INFORMATION
RANGING FROM LOCATIONS ISSUING
PURCHASE ORDERS. VERY FINE
PUBLICATIONS AND- AUSTIN FOR
INVOICES WERE IN PERSON FROM THE
DISTRICT. THIS PROCESS RESULT IN
THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS IN COST TO
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND COUNTIES
AND THE PUBLICATIONS CAN ALSO
COST. AROUND TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
TO EIGHT HUNDRED DOLLARS. THESE
HARD COPY- FOR. TWO NOT PROVIDE
THE PUBLIC WITH SUFFICIENT S.
ACCESSIBILITY TO THESE MEETING
NOTICES WHERE IMPORTANT
PERMISSION IS RELATE TO THE
WHOLE COMMUNITY. EIGHTY SEVEN
TWENTY ONE WOULD ALLOW SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THE CHOICE TO POST
POST NOTICES PROMINENTLY ON THE
HOMEPAGE OF THE INTERNET
WEBSITE. OR CONTINUE TO POST IT
ON THEIR LOCAL NEWSPAPERS.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS WILL HAVE THIS
OPTION TO CUT COST WITHOUT THE
NEED FOR PUBLICATIONS AND SAVE
VALUABLE STAFF TIME. INSTEAD OF
WHICH THEY WOULD BE FOCUSING ON
FORMATTING FORTIES- PURPOSES.
USING ON MY NOTICE WOULD ALSO
INCREASED ACCESSIBILITY OF
INFORMATION FOR STAKEHOLDERS AND
PARENTS. THAT WANT THAT WANT TO
LOOK FOR UPDATES REGARDING
BUDGET AB IT ALSO WOULD LEAD TO
MORE TRANSPARENCY INVOLVEMENT.
WE APPRECIATE THE COMMITTEE'S
INVOLVEMENT AND EDUCATION FOR
WORKING ON THIS BILL- AND
