IT WAS REVEALED THAT WE'RE
FALLING SHORT OF KEEPING OUR

THE AUDIT FOUND THAT MANY SCHOOL
DISTRICTS DO NOT HAVE PROCEDURES
FOR RESPONDING TO VIOLENT
INCIDENTS SUCH AS ACTIVE
SHOOTERS.
BECAUSE IT IS NOT REQUIRED BY
LAW.
AB SEVENTEEN FORTY SEVEN
CODIFIES THE AUDITOR'S
RECOMMENDATIONS AND WILL REQUIRE
SCHOOLS TO CREATE PROCEDURES TO
RESPOND TO VIOLENT INCIDENTS.
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONALS AND
LAW ENFORCEMENT WOULD REQUIRE TO
CONSULT IN THE PLANNING AND
EVALUATION PROCESS.
ADDITIONALLY THIS BILL WOULD
DIRECT APARTMENT EDUCATION TO
PROVIDE GUIDANCE ON BEST
PRACTICES.

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
AMBER'S THANK YOU FOR HAVING

MY NAME IS EMILY DICKSON AND I
AM A SURVIVOR ADVOCATE. FOR
VICTIMS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING
INSANITY NO COUNTY.
TODAY I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF OPEN
DOOR PROGRAM A. NONPROFIT
ORGANIZATION THAT HELPS
SURVIVORS OF HUMAN TRAFFICKING.
WE ARE IN SUPPORT OF ASSEMBLY
BILL EIGHTEEN SIXTY ONE DUE TO
THE FACT THAT WITHIN THE LAST
THREE YEARS WE HAVE HAD CLIENTS
COME THROUGH OUR PROGRAM WHO
WERE RECRUITED ONLINE.
OUR CLIENTS DISCLOSE THAT SOCIAL
MEDIA SITES HAVE PLAYED A MAJOR
ROLE IN THE GROOMING AND
RECRUITMENT OF VICTIMS.
WE LEARNED THAT SOME VICTIMS
WERE BEFRIENDED BY TRAFFICKERS
WHO AT FIRST POSE AS A FRIEND
WHO WAS ATTRACTED TO THE VICTIM
AND WANTED TO BUILD SOME KIND OF
ROMANTIC RELATIONSHIP WITH THEM.
THE TRAFFICKERS WOULD HAVE
INTIMATE CONVERSATIONS WITH
THEIR VICTIMS TO FIND OUT ALL
VULNERABILITIES DISLIKES AND
WANTS IN ORDER TO PREY ON THEM.
AT THE BEACH VICTIMS WEAKEST
MOMENT THE TRAFFICKER WOULD
POUNCE AT THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT THEMSELVES AS A SAVIOR
AND OR A RESCUER. ONLY DISSECT
THEM INTO A LIFESTYLE OF
EXPLOITATION AND MEANS OF
SURVIVAL.
IN ADDITION TO ONLINE
RECRUITMENT BY TRAFFICKERS
THEMSELVES WE HAVE ALSO WORKED
WITH VICTIMS WHO WERE RECRUITED
ONLINE BY OTHER HUMAN
TRAFFICKING VICTIMS. WHO ARE
ALSO KNOWN AS THE BOTTOM?
THE BOTTOM WILL BE FROM THE
TRAFFICKERS NEXT POTENTIAL
VICTIM AND FLASH PICTURES THE
MONEY MATERIALISTIC ITEMS SUCH
AS HIGH AND PURSES CARS CLOTHING
ETCETERA.
ONCE THE VICTIM SHOWS INTEREST
THE BOTTOM WILL CONTINUE TO
INITIATE CONVERSATIONS WITH THE
VICTIM TO GLAMORIZING GLORIFY
THE LIFE AND MAKE PROMISES TO
THE VICTIM THAT HE OR SHE WILL
BE ABLE TO HAVE THOSE SAME
ITEMS.
IN THE VICTIM'S WEAKEST MOMENT
THE TRAFFICKER WILL HAVE HIS OR
HER BOTTOM JUMP ON THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ACT AS THE SAVIOR
RESCUER TO THE VICTIM. AND THEN
INTRODUCE THEM TO A LIFE OF
HUMAN SEX TRAFFICKING AND
EXPLOITATION.
FOR THOSE FOR THESE REASONS WE
ASK THAT A. B. EIGHTEEN SIXTY
ONE GET PAST EDUCATING YOUTH ON
THE DANGERS OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND
MOBILE PHONE DEVICES IS VITAL
WHEN TEACHING ABOUT HUMAN
TRAFFICKING. PREVENTIVE MEASURES
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU UNDER TWO MINUTES WELL
DONE YOUR NEXT WITNESS.
YOUR CHAIR MEMBERS THANK YOU FOR
HAVING ME TODAY.
MY NAME IS NICK LEFFLER I'M A
CORPORAL WITH THE CITY OF
ONTARIO POLICE DEPARTMENT. I'M
HERE TODAY REPRESENTING THE SAN
MARINO COUNTY HUMAN TRAFFICKING
TASK FORCE.
LARGELY OUR SOCIETIES UNAWARE OF
HUMAN TRAFFICKING AND THE SUB
CULTURE OF COMMERCIALIZED SEX
FOR SALE BUT AS PRESIDENT AND
COMMUNITIES ACROSS OUR STATE.
SINCE MAY TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN
OUR TASK FORCES RESCUED FORTY
NINE ADULTS AND TWENTY FIVE
JUVENILES DURING HUMAN
TRAFFICKING INVESTIGATION.
WE HAVE FOUND JUVENILE VICTIMS
THIRTEEN YEARS OF AGE AND
YOUNGER.
DURING THESE INVESTIGATIONS WE
HAVE FOUND THAT THE PRIMARY
RECRUITING GROUND FOR JUVENILES
IS ON THE INTERNET THROUGH
SOCIAL MEDIA.
SOCIAL MEDIA PROVIDES A PLATFORM
FOR TRAFFICKERS TO BEFRIEND
BEFRIEND MINERS INITIATE SECRET
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THEM ENGAGE
IN PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS.
AND EVENTUALLY BEGIN TO
MANIPULATE THEM INTO WORKING FOR
THEM AS COMMERCIAL SEX WORKERS.
I WANT TO TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY
TO PROVIDE TWO EXAMPLES TO PUT
INTO CONTEXT WHAT I'M TALKING
ABOUT.
AFTER WORKING HUMAN TRAFFICKING
INVESTIGATIONS FOR JUST A SHORT
TIME.
IT WAS EVIDENT TO ME THAT
TRAFFICKERS RECRUITING THEIR
VICTIMS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA.
TO COMBAT THIS TYPE OF CRIME AND
PRO ACTIVELY SEEK OUT THE
TRAFFICKERS I DECIDED TO CREATE
A SOCIAL MEDIA ACCOUNT. POSING
AS A FIFTEEN YEAR OLD FEMALE
GIRL.
DURING THE FIRST FULL DAY OF
MAINTAIN THIS ACCOUNT I'D
RECEIVED NUMEROUS FROM REQUESTED
OVER FIFTY MESSAGES FROM
TRAFFICKERS WHO WERE ATTEMPTING
TO BEGIN RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THIS FICTITIOUS CHILD.
I'VE SINCE ARRESTED SEVERAL OF
THOSE PREDATORS FOR HUMAN
TRAFFICKING BASED ON THEIR
CONVERSATIONS WITH ME IN THAT
UNDERCOVER ROLE.
ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF THE
CONNECTION CONNECTION BETWEEN
SOCIAL MEDIA AND HUMAN
TRAFFICKING IS THIS.
IN TWO THOUSAND SEVENTEEN
DECEMBER DANIELLE TASK FORCE
BEGAN AN INVESTIGATION WHICH LED
TO THE ARREST OF THE SUSPECTED
CAMP IN THE CITY OF ONTARIO.
DURING THE INVESTIGATION WE
LEARN THAT THE SUSPECTED
CAMPAIGN USE SOCIAL MEDIA TO
ATTEMPT TO BEFRIEND AND RECRUIT
AT LEAST FIVE RANDOM FEMALES PER
DAY.
IS IMPORTANT WE EDUCATE OUR
CHILDREN ABOUT THE ABOUT HUMAN
TRAFFICKING AND HIDDEN DANGERS
THAT EXIST IN THE REALM OF
SOCIAL MEDIA SO THEY CAN GUARD
THEMSELVES AGAINST BECOMING THE
NEXT VICTIM.

THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
WHICH OF THE ASSEMBLY EDUCATION
COMMITTEE HAS MISTER WRAPS AT MY
NAME IS FRED CLASS THANKS FOR
THE OPPORTUNITY TO SAY A FEW
WORDS ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF
MAY FIRST AS A WORKERS HOLIDAY.
AND WHY SHOULD WE SHOULD ADOPTED
IN CALIFORNIA.
THE HOLIDAY SHOULD BE UNDERSTOOD
AS BELONGING TO EVERY WORKER
EVERYWHERE IT CELEBRATES THE
BIRTH OF THE MOVEMENT FOR THE
EIGHT HOUR WORKDAY A SEEMINGLY
IMPOSSIBLE GOAL. AT A TIME IN
THE NINETEENTH CENTURY WHEN TEN
EVEN TWELVE HOUR DAYS WERE
COMMON SIX AND SOMETIMES SEVEN
DAYS A WEEK.
HE WOULD WRITE AN HISTORIC
INJUSTICE FOR THE HOLIDAY TO
FINALLY BE CELEBRATED OFFICIALLY
SOMEWHERE IN UNITED STATES.
THAT'S BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY IS
WHERE THE EVEN SICKERT STRIKES
AND DEMONSTRATIONS BY A LARGELY
IMMIGRANT WORKFORCE IN THE
EIGHTEEN EIGHTIES THAT BEGAN THE
MOVEMENT FOR THE EIGHT HOUR DAY
WHICH WAS ONLY CROWNED WITH
SUCCESS FIFTY YEARS LATER.
THE PASSAGE OF THE FAIR LABOR
STANDARDS ACT.
HELPING STUDENTS UNDERSTAND
WHERE THEIR BASIC WORKPLACE
RIGHTS COME FROM IS CRUCIAL TO
PROTECTING THEM TODAY AND IN THE
FUTURE.
THESE RIGHTS WERE HARD WON OFTEN
AT THE COST OF WORKERS JOBS.
BLOOD IN LIVES.
IT'S NOT A COINCIDENCE THAT THE
NATIONAL LABOR RELATIONS ACT
PROVIDING PEACEFUL CONFLICT
RESOLUTION IN THE WORKPLACE
THROUGH COLLECTIVE BARGAINING
WAS PASSED IN NINETEEN THIRTY
FIVE A YEAR AFTER A WAVE OF
GENERAL STRIKES WITNESSED
INJURIES TO HUNDREDS. AND IN
SOME PLACES THOUSANDS OF WORKERS
AND THE DEATHS
BUT DOZENS.
I MADE A HOLIDAY INAPPROPRIATE
LABOR HISTORY EDUCATIONAL
EXERCISE OF SURROUNDING IT WOULD
PROVIDE STUDENTS MANY OF WHOM
ALREADY WORK WITH AN
APPRECIATION FOR WHAT IT TOOK TO
CREATE WORKPLACE RIGHTS AND WHAT
THEY STAND TO LOSE IF THOSE
RIGHTS ARE LIMITED. IN SHORT THE
MERIT OF THE HOLIDAY THE MERITS
OF THE HOLIDAY FIT CLOSELY WITH
WHAT CALIFORNIA STANDS FOR TODAY
AS AN ISLAND OF SANITY UNDER THE
CURRENT FEDERAL POLITICAL AND
POLICY ENVIRONMENT.
I RESPECTFULLY URGE YOU TO
SUPPORT AB THIRTY FORTY TWO.
WE THANK YOU OTHERS IN SUPPORT.

PERSONAL LEVEL.
AND AS THIS A BILL IMMENSELY
AFFECTS MY LIFE AND MANY MANY
OTHERS WHO WITHIN THE DISTRICT
STATEWIDE ALSO NATIONALLY.
WHEN I CONTACTED ASSEMBLYMAN
RANDY VOEPEL IS OFFICE LAST YEAR
REGARDING THIS BILL HE
IMMEDIATELY KNEW AND UNDERSTOOD
THE IMPORTANCE. THAT THIS BILL
WOULD HAVE ON MY COMMUNITY.
ASSEMBLY BILL TWENTY EIGHT FIFTY
EIGHT WILL HELP MY COMMUNITY.
THOSE WHO ORIGINATED FROM
MESOPOTAMIA.
THE LAND BETWEEN TWO RIVERS AND
MORE MODERNLY KNOWN BY THEIR
SUBPOPULATION NAMES ASSYRIAN
CHALDEAN AND SYRIAC TO BE A
PROTECTED MINORITY CLASS.
NOW WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE
PROTECTED MINORITY CLASS WITHIN
THE CONTEXT%
BUT I WAS PRESENTING HERE TODAY.
SIMPLY PUT IN ACADEMIA ASSYRIAN
CHALDEAN SYRIAC STUDENTS WOULD
THEN BE ABLE TO CHECK OFF THE
APPROPRIATE BOX OF THEIR ORIGIN.
NOW THIS HAS A MULTITUDE OF
BENEFITS FOR MY COMMUNITY
BECAUSE NOT ONLY WILL WE BE ABLE
TO TRACK HOW WELL WE ARE DOING
IN SCHOOL BUT WILL BE ABLE TO
DECIPHER WHICH SUBJECTS WERE
ATTRACTED TO.
AND MOREOVER WE'RE GONNA BE ABLE
TO DECIPHER WHERE IN THE A
COMMUNITY IN THE STATE OUR SUB
POPULATION RESIDES WITH RESPECT
TO THE CENSUS.
NOW I AM HERE TODAY SPEAKING ON
BEHALF OF TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND
OF MY COMMUNITY MEMBERS WHO
RESIDE IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
AND I'M SPEAKING FOR HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WITHIN THIS.
THE COUNTRY WHO ARE LOOKING AT
THIS DAY AND LOOKING AT ME TO
ADOPT SIMILAR RESOLUTIONS IN
THEIR STATES.
AND MORE IMPORTANTLY AS YOU KNOW
MY PEOPLE LIVE IN THE DIASPORA
BECAUSE OF THE RISE OF TERRORIST
GROUPS LIKE ISIS. THEIR
DISPLACED
BUT THEY WANT TO KNOW THAT IF
THEY COME HERE. THAT THEY'RE
ACCOUNTED FOR NOT LIKELY WHAT
HAPPENED UNDER ICE IS THEY WANT
TO KNOW THAT THERE ARE
RECOGNIZED AND NOT ONLY DID.
AND SO. I'M HERE TODAY TO TO
REPRESENT THOSE PEOPLE THOSE
VOICELESS PEOPLE I DID BRING A
LITTLE PROFIT. BUT ASSEMBLYMAN
RANDY VOEPEL TOLD ME THAT WE
DON'T DO THAT BUT I WANT TO JUST
READ IT READ OUT TO YOU. QUICKLY
GET.
YOUR AT YOUR TIME LIMIT NOW SO
JUST VERY BRIEFLY IF YOU WERE
SURE AND I THINK USES THANKS SO
MUCH.
WHAT WERE ASKING FOR EVENTUALLY
IS A CATEGORY TO SAY
MESOPOTAMIAN ASSYRIAN CHALDEAN
SYRIAC BECAUSE THAT'S WHO WE
IDENTIFY WITH AND I THINK YOU
AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME CHAIR AND
MEMBERS OF THE STATE ASSEMBLY?
GIVE ANY QUESTIONS I'LL BE MORE
THAN HAPPY I THINK YOU THINK YOU
CALPERS WHAT DO I. CLARIFY
SOMETHING I THINK I THINK IT
YET.
STATED THAT THIS WOULD MAKE.
CREATE A PROTECTED CLASS THAT'S
NOT WHAT THIS BILL WOULD DO THIS
NOTICE REQUIRE THE DISTRICT
ACCOUNT THEM. WHICH
THE DISTRICT COULD DO TODAY SURE
SO DESIRED EVENTUALLY IS WHAT I
WANT SO I WITH THAT.
DO WE HAVE OTHERS IN SUPPORT.

THE STRUGGLE I APPRECIATE.
I'M NOT OPPOSED YOUR GOAL PUT
YOUR GOAL TO BE ACHIEVED AT THE
DISTRICT COULD.
PROVIDE THIS DATA PUBLICLY
TODAY.
SO I REALLY DON'T UNDERSTAND IT
CREATING A STATE MANDATE WHICH
STATE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR FOR
THE DISTRICT CONDUCT THAT. THAT
STUDY.
VIDEO I DON'T KNOW WHY WE'RE
HEADING DOWN THAT PATH AGAIN
THEY COULD START THIS TOMORROW
IF THEY DON'T ALREADY DO IT AND
I WOULD. YOU KNOW SO I I ALMOST
WONDER IF YOU SHOULD BE TALKING
TO THE SCHOOL BOARD.
RATHER THAN THE STATE EDUCATION
CAN
BECAUSE AGAIN THEY COULD DO THIS
TODAY.
DON'T KNOW IT'S NECESSARY TO
CREATE A STATEWIDE MANDATE AND
IT DOES NOT.
CREATE A PROTECTED CLASS SO I I
I SO THAT'S WHY WE'RE STRUGGLING
THAT'S WE SEE THAT IN THE END
NOW.
SENATE WE'VE HAD DISCUSSIONS
ABOUT.
BUT MISTER KELLY DID YOU WISH TO
COME.
SO WITH THAT.
THANK YOU YOU MAY CLOSE YES SIR.
ONCE AGAIN I UNDERSTAND THE.
CONCERNS OF THE COMMITTEE CHAIR.
OF.
BECAUSE
THE QUESTIONNAIRES ARE DESIGNED
BY THE PARTNER OF EDUCATION OF
CALIFORNIA IT WAS THOUGHT.
BY MY CONSTITUENTS THAT THAT'S
WHERE IT NEEDED TO GO.
SO THAT'S. THE RULING THERE. AS
FAR AS PROTECTED CLASS NAT
THAT'S A BATTLE FOR THEM TO WAGE
AT SOME FUTURE TIME.
I RESPECTFULLY S. FOR A YES
VOTE.
AND HOPEFULLY THIS CAN MAKE IT
TO THE FLOOR
THANK YOU SIR GETTING GONNA
TWENTY REITERATED CAN BE DONE
LOCALLY NOW IN FACT SOME
DISTRICTS ALREADY DO THIS THE
CREATE THEIR OWN FORM.
UNDER NEW TO STAY LOCKED ON THE
GOVERNOR DON'T NEED JONAH.

PRESENTING TODAY
SO THAT WERE NOT TO MAKE A
MOTION AS WE DON'T OF A QUORUM

THANK YOU MISTER GALLAGHER AND
GALLAGHER PRESIDENT.
AREAS.
IN HERE MISTER GALLAGHER WILL
RESENT AB TWO SIX TWO ZERO SIX
SEVEN TWO ZERO SIX SEVEN.
IT'S ITEM NUMBER EIGHT PILOT
RIGHT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I.
VERY MUCH APPRECIATE YOUR TIME
OF THIS THIS MORNING.
.
AB TWENTY SIXTY SEVEN.
IS MY BILL A DILEMMA SCHOOL
SAFETY IN HAVING. ARMED SECURITY
AT OUR.
SCHOOLS.
AND I FIRST WANT TO THANK THE
CHAIR THE COMMITTEE STAFF.
THROUGH FOR WORKING WITH MY
OFFICE ON THIS WE ARE PREPARED
TO TAKE. OF THE AMENDMENT
SUGGESTED REGARDING.
.
REMOVING PRIVATE.
SCHOOL SECURITY GUARDS AND ALSO
INCLUDING CHARTER SCHOOLS.
IN THIS MANDATE. AND SO WE
WOULD TAKE THOSE THOSE TWO
AMENDMENTS AND.
AND.
.
YEAH THIS THIS ISSUE REALLY
OBVIOUSLY CAME.
.
VERY CLOSE TO HOME FOR US IN IN
MY DISTRICT.
Z. AS YOU HEARD A LITTLE BIT
EARLIER TODAY IN THE COMMITTEE.
THE SMALL SCHOOL OF RANCHO TO
HIM AND MY DISTRICT.
JUST.
WEST OF THE COMMUNITY A CORNY
AND TAMAR COUNTY.
.
HAD A VERY TRAGIC ATTACK.
.
AND THAT MAN WENT ON A RAMPAGE
TO THIS COMMUNITY.
I ULTIMATELY GOING ON TO THE
SCHOOL GROUNDS R. RANCHO TO HIM
ELEMENTARY.
AT THE END OF THE DAY FIVE
PEOPLE WERE KILLED.
.
A COMMUNITY WAS COMPLETELY
DEVASTATED AND.
AND.
YOU KNOW A SCHOOL.
AND IN CHILDREN WERE LOCKED IN
THEIR CLASSROOMS.
BEING SHOT AT FROM OUTSIDE THE
CLASSROOM BY THIS BY THIS GUN
MEN.
YOU KNOW IN TALKING WITH THE
STAFF. AND TEACHERS AFTERWARDS
SO YOU CAN IMAGINE OBVIOUSLY
THE.
THE*.
THAT THEY WENT THROUGH AND AS
THIS WAS TRANSPIRING.
BUT ALSO THAT THE GREAT COURAGE
THAT WE SAW OUT OF THE STAFF
MEMBERS AND TEACHERS. WHO WERE
ABLE TO LOCK DOWN THE CLASSROOM?
AND THEY HAD HAD TRAINING.
.
AS MISTER RODRIGUEZ BILLETS IS
PROPOSING TO DO.
AND THEY ACTED VERY QUICKLY AND
THEY SAVE LIVES THAT DAY BECAUSE
OF WHAT THEY DID.
WE ALSO DID HAVE A A COMMUNITY
MEMBER WHO.
WHO DISTRACTED THE GUNMAN AS HE
WAS SHOOTING INTO CLASSROOMS AND
ALSO THEY GOT HIM TO?
YOU KNOW COME OUT OF THE SCHOOL
GROUNDS.
.
AND SO THERE WAS A LOT OF
HEROISM THAT HAPPEN THERE TO
HELP SAVE LIVES THAT DAY.
BUT AS AS YOU KNOW AS WE
CONSIDER THE THINGS THAT WE NEED
TO DO IN THE AFTERMATH OF THESE
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS.
OTHERS SO MANY THERE'S MULTIPLE
PRONGS HERE WE KNOW THERE'S
MULTIPLE THINGS WE NEED TO DO.
AND.
AT TO STOP THIS BUT THAT THE SAD
REALITY IS THAT WE ARE SEEN
THESE.
HORRENDOUS ATTACKS.
GO TO OUR MOST VULNERABLE OUR
KIDS OUR MOST PRECIOUS.
COMMODITY IN THE STATE.
ARE VULNERABLE.
TO THESE TO THESE ATTACKS AND
SO.
YOU KNOW IS I WAS THINKING ABOUT
HOW WE CAN DO BETTER.
I WAS CONSIDERING THAT IN THE
SCHOOL RESA RESOURCE OFFICER
PROGRAM THAT WE HAVE THAT MANY
SCHOOLS.
THAT HAS BEEN VERY SUCCESSFUL
AND WHY NOT HAVE THESE
INDIVIDUALS AT EVERY AND EVERY
SCHOOL IN THE STATE. A TO ENSURE
THAT THERE'S GONNA BE SOMEONE
THERE.
WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO STOP THESE
ATTACKS WHEN THEY HAPPENED THAT
WE WOULDN'T JUST HAVE TO HOLD UP
IN OUR CLASSROOMS AND HOPE?
THAT SOMETHING DOESN'T MORE
DIRE DOESN'T HAPPEN.
ALL THOSE THINGS NEED TO BE
DONE WE NEED TO HAVE TRAINING.
BUT WE NEED TO HAVE PEOPLE WHO
CAN BE A FIRST LINE OF DEFENSE.
AND YOU KNOW I THINK THE MERITS
OF THIS POLICY.
.
NO REALLY WERE SHOWN YESTERDAY
IN MARYLAND.
WHERE WE HAD ENOUGH SORROW?
A WHO ACTED LEGALLY IN.
IN SECONDS.
UNDER A MINUTE I WON THE FIRST.
WHEN THE SHOOTING BEGAN AT A
SCHOOL THERE IN MARYLAND AND WAS
ABLE TO DISPATCH.
AND STOP THE SHOOTER.
FROM CARRYING OUT MORE THE.
FOR SHE MORE STUDENTS ON CAMPUS
ARE STILL WAS TRAGICALLY TO
PEOPLE SHOT.
BUT CLEARLY EVERYBODY THAT. HAS
REPORT ON THIS IS SAID THIS THIS
HELP STOP AND HELP PREVENT. FEET
MORE LOSS OF LIFE.
.
WE'VE ALSO SEEN THIS ACTUALLY
YOU KNOW THE S. AROSE DOWN AND
ACTUALLY SELLING CALIFORNIA
THAT.
SECURITY GUARD WHO OVERHEARD A
CONVERSATION ULTIMATELY WAS ABLE
TO GO SEARCH A.
STUDENTS HOMEROOM WHEN THEY
FOUND WEAPONS WERE ABLE TO WHAT
THEY BELIEVE PREVENT.
WHAT COULD HAVE BEEN AN ATTACK
AS WELL SO THIS IS A GOOD
PROGRAM THAT WORKS THE S. R. AW
UP PROGRAMS AND WHAT WE'RE
ASKING FOR THIS BILL IS THAT?
THERE WOULD BE AN SRO A TRAINED.
PEACE OFFICER ON EVERY CAMPUS.
THIS WOULD BE A REIMBURSABLE
MANDATE.
FOR OUR SCHOOLS.
AND IT WOULD APPLY ACROSS THE
BOARD NOW WITH THE AMENDMENTS TO
CHARTER SCHOOLS AS WELL AND AND
SO.
I WOULD ASK YOUR CONSIDERATION
OF THIS MEASURE I THINK IT'S A
MUCH NEEDED.
.
NO DEFENSE YEAH THERE'S GOING TO
BE A CASA THAT LOBBYISTS HAVE TO
DEAL WITH THAT APPROPRIATIONS
COMMITTEE. BUT FOR ME YOU KNOW I
DON'T THINK YOU CAN PUT A PRICE
ON PEACE OF MIND WHEN IT COMES
TO OUR KIDS INSIDE ASK YOUR. AYE
VOTE ON THIS MEASURE THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN. FOR YOUR
CONSIDERATION A MEMBERS THINK I
DO HAVE SOME WITNESSES WITH ME
AND SUPPORT WITNESSES IN SUPPORT
TWO MINUTES EACH POLICEMAN.
GOOD AFTERNOON I'M KAREN VIA
LOBOS.
TWIN RIVERS CHARTER SCHOOL
FORMALLY EAST NICHOLAS HIGH
SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I'M IN
SUPPORT OF A SRO. AS I TALK TO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GALLAGHER IT'S
AS PREVENTIVE AS IT IS THE
INCIDENT WE KNOW THAT EFFECTIVE
BEST SORROWS BUILD RELATIONSHIPS
WITH STUDENTS WE KNOW STUDENTS.
ARE MOST LIKELY GOING TO BE THE
PERPETRATORS AND IF WE CAN BE
PREVENTIVE. AND HOW THAT
RELATIONSHIP ON CAMPUS IT'S
GOING TO SAVE LIVES AS WELL.
MY NAME IS DAN RAMOS AND I'VE
WORKED WITH C. PRINCIPLE LAS
PLUMAS HIGH SCHOOL ONE OR OF ALL
FOR NINE YEARS I ALSO HAVE
SEVENTEEN YEARS EXPERIENCE AS AN
EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIAN AND
VOLUNTEER FIRE CAPTAIN WITH
BUTTE COUNTY FIRE. WHERE I'VE
RECEIVED ADVANCED TRAINING AN
ACTIVE SHOOTER TRAUMA RESPONSE?
IN SEPTEMBER TWO THOUSAND SEVEN
I WAS THE ADMINISTRATOR IN
CHARGE AT THE TIME WHEN AN ARM
STUDENT GREAT RIGHT TOOK NEARLY
THIRTY HOSTAGES. IN OUR BAND
ROOM.
A STANDOFF ENSUED THE GUNMEN
FIRED TWO SHOTS HOWEVER NO ONE
WAS INJURED.
WE DID NOT HAVE A SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER ON CAMPUS THAT
DAY.
I'M IN SUPPORT OF AB TWENTY
SIXTY SEVEN AS I RECALL THE
LONELY AND.
TERRIFYING FEELING THE TAKES
HOLD WHILE WE WAITED FOR ABOUT
SEVEN MINUTES FOR LAW
ENFORCEMENT TO ARRIVE AND TAKE
CHARGE OF THE SITUATION.
AND THAT AMOUNT OF TIME WE COULD
EASILY BEEN AT THE TOP OF THE
LIST OF DEADLY SCHOOL INCIDENTS
IN THE NATION. WE'RE JUST LUCKY.
I ALSO KNOW THAT IMMEDIATE ARMED
OPPOSITION IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE
WAY TO STOP AN ACTIVE SHOOTER.
ALONG WITH MY SUPPORT I URGE HIS
BODY TO ENSURE THAT THE SCHOOLS
ARE FULLY FUNDED TO SUPPORT THE
PLACEMENT OF ARMED LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN RURAL
SCHOOLS.
ATTENTION MUST BE PAID TO HOW
FUNNY AND WE'LL GET TO SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AS THE MANDATED COST
REIMBURSEMENT PROGRAM HAS NOT
BEEN A RELIABLE. OR TIMELY
SOURCE OF FUNDING FOR SCHOOLS.
CURRENTLY THE MANDATED COSTS
FUNDS THAT ARE DISTRICT RECEIVES
WOULD BARELY SUPPORT THE ONE
HUNDRED AND FORTY THOUSAND
DOLLAR YOUR PRICE TAG. OF ONE
DEPUTY THAT ROTATES BETWEEN FOR
SCHOOLS WITHOUT ALLOWING A
SINGLE DOLLAR FINE OTHER STATE
MANDATED ACTIVITIES.
IT'S IMPERATIVE THAT YOU TAKE
SCHOOL SAFETY SERIOUSLY AND
TARGET FINDING THOSE FULLY AND
SPECIFICALLY SUPPORTING ARMED
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS IN
SCHOOLS.
ADDITIONALLY I FEEL THAT SWORN
LAW ENFORCEMENT OFFICERS ARE THE
MOST EFFECTIVE FORM OF SECURITY
IN SCHOOLS THEY HAVE THE
TRAINING EQUIPMENT DIRECT
ACCESS.
TO OTHER AGENCIES THAT IS NEEDED
TO RESPOND A MAJOR VIOLENT
INCIDENTS.
THANK YOU OTHER WITNESSES

THANK YOU. ANY OPPOSITION
.
GOOD AFTERNOON.
KATHY SHORT FOR THE ACLU OF
CALIFORNIA WE RESPECTFULLY NOLES
DEPOSED AB TWENTY TWENTY SIXTY
SEVEN.
WE ALL AGREE THAT SCHOOL SAFETY
IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL CHILDREN
SHOULD BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON
LEARNING WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT
THEIR PERSONAL SAFETY. PARENTS
TO FEEL THAT SCHOOL IS A PLACE
WHERE THEIR CHILDREN WILL BE
PROTECTED FROM HARM.
THE MISSION OF EDUCATING OUR
CHILDREN HOUSE TO START WITH
PROVIDING A SAFE PLACE TO LEARN.
WE DISAGREE AS TO HOW TO MAKE
SURE OUR SCHOOLS ARE SAFE.
PUTTING A GUARD OR OFFICER IN
EVERY SCHOOL AS AB TWENTY SIXTY
SEVEN PROPOSES TO DO IS NOT THE
ANSWER.
PUTTING GUNS IN SCHOOLS IN THE
HANDS OF SECURITY GUARDS OR
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS OR
ANYONE ELSE.
WILL MAKE SCHOOLS LESS SAFE NOT
MORE SUBTLE.
WE SAW THIS WITH THE INCIDENT
MONTEREY LAST WEEK WHERE THREE
STUDENTS WERE INJURED BY A
TEACHER WHO WAS ALSO A RESERVE
POLICE OFFICER. ACCIDENTALLY
DISCHARGING A GUN IN CLASS.
BUT THE PROBLEM WITH PLACING A
SECURITY GUARD A RESOURCE
OFFICER AT EVERY SCHOOL EXTENDS
FAR BEYOND THE RISK OF THE USE
OF THAT PERSON'S GOT.
FOR MANY STUDENTS THE PRESENCE
OF AN ARMED OFFICER MAKE SCHOOL
FEEL MORE LIKE A DETENTION
CENTERS ON A SCHOOL.
A PLACE WHERE THEY ARE SEEN AS
SUSPECTS.
SADLY ALL TOO OFTEN THAT FEELING
IS REINFORCED WHEN OFFICERS ON
CAMPUS ARE BROUGHT INTO WHAT
SHOULD BE ROUTINE SCHOOL
DISCIPLINARY MATTERS. ONLY TO
ESCALATE THE INCIDENT TO THE
POINT SOMETIMES OF USING
EXCESSIVE FORCE AGAINST
STUDENTS.
WE'VE ALL SEEN THE VIDEOS IN
CALIFORNIA AND ELSEWHERE.
STUDENTS PUSHED WERE THROWN TO
THE GROUND BY OFFICERS IN THEIR
SCHOOLS.
SOMETIMES WERE OFFENSES AS MINOR
AS FAILING TO PUT AWAY A CELL
PHONE.
FOR THESE STUDENTS AND MANY
OTHERS THE PRESENCE OF A SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER FEELS LIKE A
THREAT NOT A SOURCE OF
PROTECTION.
WE NEED TO BE LOOKING FOR WAYS
TO REDUCE THE PRESENCE OF POLICE
IN OUR SCHOOLS NOT TO INCREASE
THE.
WE KNOW HOW TO KEEP OUR SCHOOLS
SAFE.
WE NEED TO MAKE OUR SCHOOLS INTO
WELCOMING AN INCLUSIVE PLACES.
THAT SUPPORT THE SOCIAL AND
EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF THE STUDENTS
AND THAT HAVE THE RESOURCES THEY
NEED TO BUILD COMMUNITY AND
ADDRESS CONFLICT WITH NON
PUNITIVE METHODS.
LET'S FOCUS ON PROVIDING STE
SCHOOLS WITH THOSE RESOURCES
RATHER THAN INVESTING IN
EXPENSIVE MEASURES THAT WILL
JUST MAKE THINGS WORSE.
WE ASK FOR YOUR NO VOTE THANK
YOU OTHERS IN OPPOSITION.
TONY TO CAROL AND HAVE THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
WE HAVE A RECOMMENDED OPPOSE
POSITION ON THIS BILL.
SARAH MUCH AS THE CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS
OFFICIALS IN OPPOSITION.
RON RAPOPORT HALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA FEDERATION OF
TEACHERS WERE ALSO TAKING IN
OPPOSE RECOMMENDATION TO OUR
CONVENTION.
KAI JACKSON WAS SENDING UNIFIED
SCHOOL DISTRICT IN OPPOSITION.
SIR HUTCHINSON WITHOUT FOR WOMEN
AND GIRLS AND VICE IDEA WE
OPPOSE THIS BILL.
ANY BLOOMBERG ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION AND WE DO NOT HAVE
AN OFFICIAL POSITION BUT WE DO
HAVE CONCERNED WITH BEING
INCLUDED IN THE BILL AND THE
FISCAL IMPACT.
ERNIE SILVA SCIENTIFIC CHARTER
SCHOOL WE WILL ALSO BE TAKING
THE POST POSITION.%
THANK YOU SEE NO OTHERS IN
OPPOSITION.
I MANY COMMENTS ON THE
COMMITTEE.
I I HAVE A COMMENT.
.
I THINK A BILL. AND I APPRECIATE
THAT YOU WANT PEACE OFFICERS.
NOT IN A GUARD THEY MIGHT'VE
GONE THROUGH TWO WEEK EIGHT
THIRTY TWO CLASS WHICH THAT'S
NOT THE SAME THING SOME IS
TRAINED IN THE AREA OF OF LAW
ENFORCEMENT.
AND I THINK YOU'RE NOT ASKING
THESE OFFICERS IN IRAQ THE
STUDENTS AS FAR AS DISCIPLINE
THAT'S NOT WHAT YOU'RE SEEKING
HERE. YOU'RE SEEKING SIMPLY TO
KEEP THE FACILITY IN THE PEOPLE
IN AND AROUND THAT FACILITY
SAFE.
AND AS ONE OF COMES FROM.
HIGH SCHOOL A FIFTY TWO HUNDRED
KIDS.
OKAY WITH TWO SHERIFF'S.
USUALLY.
ON CAMPUS ON AROUND IT'S ALSO
AROUND IN THIS AFTER SCHOOL
HOURS I KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THIS.
IF YOU HAVEN'T HAD THAT
EXPERIENCE YOU HAVEN'T SEEN THE
MASSIVE PEOPLE.
AND THE ACTIVITY SURROUNDING
VERY URBAN HIGH SCHOOL YOU MIGHT
THE YOU KNOW AFRAID OF THIS
CONCEPT BUT IF YOU'VE INTERACTED
AND SEEN THIS LIVE DID. I THINK
HE'D BE MUCH MORE SUPPORTIVE.
AND ANY FIFTY TWO HUNDRED YEAR
OF HIGH SCHOOL FIFTY TWO HUNDRED
IS A SMALL CITY.
SMALL CITIES HAVE POLICE
OFFICERS TO. FOR THE VERY SAME
REASON SO I AM SUPPORTIVE I
THINK THERE ARE OTHERS WHO WISH
TO COMMENT MISTER THURMAN.
NO MISTER LACKEY I'M SORRY.
SELECT ANY JEWISH. OKAY LIKE A
SUBHEADING GO.
I WANT TO.
.
THANK THE AUTHOR FOREVER THE
COURAGE TO BRING THIS FORWARD AT
THIS VERY DELICATE TIME.
WE KNOW THAT THIS IS A VERY VERY
DISTURBING PROBLEM IN OUR
SOCIETY.
AND OTHER REMEDIES ART ALL THAT
SIMPLE.
BUT ONE THING THAT I THINK IS TO
SHOULD RESONATE VERY CLEARLY. AS
IT IS NOT OKAY TO LEAVE ALL OF
OUR CHILDREN.
DEFENSELESS.
AND THAT'S WHAT WE'VE DONE.
WE'VE HAD SOME GOOD WELL
INTENDED POLICIES.
WITHIN OUR STATE AND WITHIN
LOCAL CONTROL.
BUT ONE THING CLEARLY.
NOT OKAY TO LEAVE.
A BODY OF CHILDREN.
THAT HAVE BEEN INTERESTED.
DEFENSELESS.
AND I THINK.
THIS IS A REASONABLE.
POINTED THERE'D BEEN A LOT OF
PROPOSALS AND I THINK.
THIS ONE SHOULD RESONATE IN.
HAD TO SAY THAT.
SOMEONE WHO HAS BEEN GIVEN.
THE.
.
THE PRIVILEGE TO POSSIBLY BEEN
SACRIFICE THEIR LIFE.
FOR THE BENEFIT OF OTHERS AS A
THREAT.
TO THEM AS.
UNIMAGINABLE TO ME.
SO I'VE I THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD AND I THINK IT
MAKES.
GOOD COMMON SENSE BECAUSE WE
NEED TO DO SOMETHING.
THANK YOU.
I MISTER DURBIN.
I AM SUCH YEAR UMP TO THE AUTHOR
I'D JUST WANT SOME CLARIFICATION
BECAUSE AS WE DISCUSS THIS BILL.
YOU SHARED WITH ME THAT YOUR
BILL WOULD.
.
REQUIRE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS
SAID THEY'RE STILL LANGUAGE HERE
AND REFERENCES.
TO ARMED SECURITY GUARDS ALLOW I
HAVE DEEP RESPECT FOR THE WORK
THAT THOSE WHO WERE IN ARMY
SECURITY.
AGENCIES DO ARM I HAVE WORKED
FOR MANY YEARS WAS SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS AND.
I I HAVE A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF
COMFORT.
WITH THOSE SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICERS WHO HAVE WORKED WITH ON
BECAUSE I HAVE EXPERIENCED THEM.
TO.
UNDERSTAND THAT FIRST THING THEY
DO IS BUILD A RELATIONSHIP WITH
STUDENTS.
TO DO PREVENTIVE WORK THAT THEY
CAN AND THEN WHEN THERE IS A
SITUATION LIKE WHEN A CHILD.
CALLS THEIR PARA AND SAYS DAD.
OUR SCHOOLS UNDER LOCKDOWN
BECAUSE WE HAVE A GUN ON CAMPUS
I RECEIVED A CALL.
AT YALE. A SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER KNOWS HOW TO GO FROM
BEING A PREVENTIVE OFFICER.
TWO BEING A IN A LAW ENFORCEMENT
SAFETY UP RESPONSE AND SO.
BUT I'D BE CONCERNED IF WERE
TALKING ABOUT OPENING IT UP TO
US THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE THE SAME
LEVEL OF TRAINING. OF A SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER BECAUSE THEY'RE
TOO MANY VARIABLES THAT CAN
HAPPEN IN HAVE HAPPENED YOU KNOW
THE KIDS HAVE BEEN. MISTREATED
AND ALL NUMBER OF CIRCUMSTANCES
WHERE PEOPLE OF IMPROVISED.
AND WE KNOW THAT SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICERS CAN NEVER BE USED.
AS THE DISCIPLINE AREAS FOR.
WHAT STUDENTS DO KIDS ARE GONNA
DO WHAT THEY'RE GOING TO DO?
AND SO I AS I SHARE WITH YOU ARE
IF THIS IS A BILL TO PUT GUNS ON
CAMPUS IN A WAY THAT. COULD
REALLY OPEN THE STUFF FOR A
RECKLESS BEHAVIOR OR
MISINTERPRETATION OR THOSE WHO
HAVEN'T HAD THE PROPER TRAINING.
BEING ASKED TO DEFEND THE
SITUATION THAT COULD GET EVEN
WORSE I WILL SUPPORT IT.
NOT IF WE'RE TALKING ABOUT CUTE
SCHOOL RESOURCE PATTERSON ONLY.
WHO HAD THE PROPER TRAINING?
WHERE THERE IS A PROPER
OVERSIGHT WHERE THEY WILL NOT BE
AN EXPECTATION THAT THEY WILL BE
USED OR MISUSED?
THE B. THE DEANS OF THE
DISCIPLINARIAN SUBSTANTIVE
BEHAVIOR ON CAMPUS THAT I THINK
WE HAVE A CONVERSATION WITH
HAPPY WOULD YOU PLEASE CLARIFY.
YEAH. THANK YOU MISTER THURMOND
AND.
I AGAIN I APPRECIATE THE
CONVERSATION WE'VE HAD ABOUT
THIS BILL AND AND AND YOUR
EXPERIENCE. YOU HAVE BEEN WORKED
ON THE SCHOOLS AND WORKED WITH.
.
JUSTIN RESOURCE OFFICERS A
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS WAS WAS
VERY APPARENT TO ME.
JUST SO YOU KNOW WE ARE TAKING
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENT.
THAT WOULD REMOVE PRIVATE
SECURITY FROM BEING PART OF THIS
IS WOULD ONLY BE.
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS.
PIECE ORIGINALLY WHEN I DID
THAT I MEAN THERE ARE SOME
PRIVATE SECURITY FIRMS OUT THERE
WHO HAVE.
THE ADDITIONAL TRAINING.
BUT I HEARD THE CONCERN. THAT
WE WANT SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS
AND THAT'S WHY WE'RE ACCEPTING
THE AMENDMENT IT WOULD ONLY BE
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS IN THIS
IN THIS BILL THANKS FOR
CLARIFICATION FIFTEEN AMENDMENT
THANK YOU FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP
THERE MISTER CHAIR. ON THAT
WOULD YOU SPEAK TO THE OTHER KEY
PROVISIONS BECAUSE THEY'RE GONNA
BE PEOPLE.
WHO HAVE THE RIGHT TO BE
CONCERNED
ABOUT WHAT THIS COULD TURN INTO
EVEN WITH IT BEING SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICERS IN?
THERE HAVE BEEN MISS USES AND
ABUSES OF SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER PROGRAMS THROUGHOUT OUR
STATE. THAT HAVE LED TO CHILDREN
BEING CRIMINALIZE
FOR CARRYING OUT THE BEHAVIORS
THAT KIDS CARRY OUT.
I GUESS I'M ASKING YOU TO SPEAK
TO HOW. WE ARE STRUCTURING THIS
SO THAT THOSE THINGS DON'T
HAPPEN
TRAINING AND EXPECTATION SO THAT
THESE ARE NOT OFFICER IS BEING
USED TO TAKE OVER WHAT SHOULD
BE.
WORK DONE BY THE SCHOOL STAFF
TO ADDRESS STUDENT BEHAVIOR.
I KNOW I'M DEFINITELY SENSITIVE
TO THOSE CONCERNS.
AND YOU KNOW ONE THING IS THERE
IS SOURCE OFFICER IT'S MORE THAN
JUST BEING A PEACE OFFICER IT'S
MORE THAN JUST HAVING POST
TRAINING. THERE'S ADDITIONAL
TRADE ON TOP OF THAT THAT GOES
INTO HOW YOU ENGAGE WITH
STUDENTS.
IN ORDER TO BECOME AN ACTUAL
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER SO THERE
IS THAT ADDITIONAL TRAINING
HERE.
YA AS WITH ALL. YOU KNOW KIND
OF BIG BILLS LIKE THIS.
YOU KNOW THIS IS STILL A WORK
IN PROGRESS AND I'M STILL
WANTING TO WORK WITH ALL THE
STAKE HOLDERS ON THIS.
TO MAKE SURE IT ADDRESSES ALL
THOSE DIFFERENT CONCERNS.
YOU KNOW I'VE HEARD YOU KNOW
SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT IS THERE
MAYBE SCHOOLS THAT ALREADY HAVE
THE RESOURCE OFFICER OR. YOU
HAVE DIFFERENT PROGRAMS MAY BE
IS THERE AN OPT OUT KNEW THAT
SOMETHING THAT WE COULD DISCUSS.
YOU AS WE MOVE FOR BUT I'D I
DEFTLY INSENSITIVE TO THOSE
ISSUES YOU WANT TO ENSURE THAT.
THAT THIS PERSON IS IN A PLACE
OF OF OF OBVIOUSLY FIRST FIRST
ALL DEFENSIVE THE SCHOOL IF
THERE IS SOME SORT OF THREAT.
BUT ALSO AS A POSITIVE
RELATIONSHIP.
WITH THE KIDS ON THE CAMPUS AND.
YOU KNOW FOR THERE IS A GREAT
ARTICLE IN MY LOCAL PAPER JUST
RECENTLY ABOUT A SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER MARYSVILLE HIGH SCHOOL.
AND HOW HIS IN HIS ENGAGEMENT ON
CAMPUSES HAD A VERY POSITIVE.
ENVIRONMENT FOR THE ENTIRE
CAMPUS AND I KNOW YOU'VE SEEN
THAT IN RICHMOND AS WELLSO.
WERE DEFTLY WANTED TO ENGAGE ON
THAT AND AGAIN THIS IS IN THE
FINAL PRODUCT AS WELL AS REMOVAL
FOR WE WILL CONTINUE TO HAVE
THAT DISCUSSION AND I'M.
WOULD LOVE TO CONTINUE TO
DISCUSS THIS WITH YOU SO.
EDU WELL I I TO YOUR POINT YOU
KNOW NOT BEING A SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER IS NOT THE JOB FOR EVERY
OFFICER.
ARE THERE ARE SOME OFFICERS WHO
DON'T WANT TO WORKING
ENVIRONMENT.
THAT IS PREVENTION FIRST LAW
ENFORCEMENT SECOND BUILDING A
RELATIONSHIP WITH STUDENTS AND.
.
THE LEVEL PREVENTIVE STUFF THAT
CAN HAPPEN AND SO I APPRECIATE
YOUR APPROACH TO THIS
I DO THINK THAT THERE'S AN ELF
IN THE ROOM THAT'S GOT TO GET
DRESSED AND THAT IS.
THAT HISTORICALLY THEIR
DISCIPLINE BAD RELATIONSHIPS
BETWEEN LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES
AND VARIOUS GROUPS IN THE
COMMUNITY THAT KIDS OF COLOR AND
OTHERS. AND THERE'S A HUGE LEVEL
DISTRESS I THINK WE DON'T TALK
ABOUT IT WE DO OURSELVES IN A
JUSTICE IN A DISSERVICE.
AND SO IN THAT RESPECT I'M
ASKING YOU AS YOU OFFER THE BILL
WHAT ARE YOUR PLANS TO BUILD IN
THE KIND OF OVERSIGHT.
ACCOUNTABILITY IS TO MAKE SURE
THAT WHAT YOU INTEND WHAT I HEAR
YOU SAY YOU INTEND TO BUILD.
GETS BUILT IN A WAY THAT TAKES
INTO ACCOUNT THE HISTORICAL.
.
DISPROPORTIONATE AND NEGATIVE
EXPERIENCES BETWEEN LAW
ENFORCEMENT AND SOME
COMMUNITIES.
THE KIDS OF COLOR AND KIDS FROM
CERTAIN BACKGROUNDS
WHAT WILL WE DO TO MAKE SURE
THAT THIS DOESN'T OPEN THE DOOR.
FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS POLICE
OFFICERS TO.
CRIMINALIZE KIDS MYSTERY KIDS
ARM IN THE WAYS THAT HAVE
OCCURRED IN SOME SITUATIONS.
WELL FIRST WORDS A LOOK I I
WANNA. SIT DOWN WITH PEOPLE WHO
HAVE CONCERNS ENGAGE WITH THEM
AND HEAR WHAT THEY'RE. WHAT
THEY'RE DIFFERENT IDEAS ARE?
OPEN YOU KNOW TWO SUGGESTIONS
ON HOW WE ENSURE THAT AND AND
HOW WE BUILD IN THAT
ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM ON THAT
OR. IS THERE MAY BE SOME
ADDITIONAL TRAINING.
.
KNOW AT THIS POINT A TIME WHAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT IS ONE.
ONE SRO THAT PER CAMPUS RIGHT
NOW I'M SO WE'RE NOT TALKING
ABOUT MULTIPLE. PEOPLE.
DOOR TALKING AT LEAST ONE
PERSON.
AND YOU LOOK WITH AS WE MOVE
FORWARD I WILL CONTINUE TO
ENGAGE WITH ALL STAKEHOLDERS.
AND I'M OPEN TO TO DIFFERENT
IDEAS ABOUT HOW WE HOW WE DO
THAT I'LL BE LOOKING FOR THAT I
THINK THERE HAS TO BE.
THAT LEVEL OF OVERSIGHT.
IN ACCOUNTABILITY.
SO THOSE WHO DON'T HAVE THE
TRUST IN THE FAITH AT THIS TO
WORK CAN NO THERE ARE
STRUCTURES.
TO HELP IT TO WORK NOW IF THEY
WERE IF IT WORKS IT WORKS
IN WHAT I HOPE HAPPENS THIS
STRONG RELATIONSHIPS GET BUILT.
MY CAN COMMUNITY POLICING WERE
STRONG RELATIONSHIPS GET BUILT
BUT UNTIL THAT HAPPENS I THINK
THERE'S A FAIR EXPECTATION THAT
THERE SHOULD BE BUILT IN
STRUCTURES.
TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE OVER
SITES TO PROTECT AGAINST
ABUSE MISUSE THAT RESULTED OF
CRIMINALIZATION OF CHILDREN. THE
MISTREATMENT OF CHILDREN OR THE
HARM OF CHILDREN.
THANK YOU SIR.
THANK YOU MISTER THANK YOU I

GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEMBERS A.
B. NINETEEN SEVENTY FOUR WOULD
PREVENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FROM
TAKING PUNITIVE ACTION AGAINST A
STUDENT FOR HAVING DEBT TO THE
SCHOOL. AND FROM USING A DEBT
COLLECTOR WHEN ATTEMPTING
COLLECT DEBT OWNED BY A PARENT
OR GUARDIAN.
INCREASINGLY FAMILIES EXPECTED
PAY MORE OUT OF THEIR POCKETS IN
ORDER FOR THEIR CHILDREN TO
PARTICIPATE IN SCHOOL. WHEN
FAMILIES LACK THE RESOURCES TO
TOOK PUNITIVE MEASURES AGAINST
STUDENTS FOR DEBT THAT THEY HAVE
LITTLE CONTROL OVER.
DISTRICTS HAVE BEEN KNOWN TO
DENY HONOR CERTIFICATES
TRANSCRIPTS AND DIPLOMAS
PARTICIPATION GRADUATION
CEREMONIES AND PARTICIPATION IN
FIELD TRIPS.
THESE EXCLUSIONS ULTIMATELY
RESULT IN DIFFERENTIAL TREATMENT
WHICH CAN AFFECT A SINCE
ACADEMIC EXPERIENCE BETTER
SOCIAL WELL BEING.
IN ONE EXAMPLE OF ACTION TAKEN
AGAINST A STUDENT A CHARTER
SCHOOL IN EAST OAKLAND WOULD
PROVIDE HONORABLE STUDENTS A
CERTIFICATE THAT INCLUDED A
WATER MARK THAT READ DEBT OWED
IF THEIR PARENT OWED EVEN THE
SMALLEST AMOUNT OF MONEY.
IN ADDITION TO TAKING ACTION
AGAINST PUPILS SCHOOLS AND
DISTRICTS HAVE TURNED. TO
SENDING FAMILIES TO DEBT
COLLECTORS WHICH WILL FOREVER
AFFECT THEIR CREDIT RATING.
THAT WAS HAPPENING IN SAN DIEGO
ALTHOUGH I WILL SAY THAT THE SAN
DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
HAS SINCE STOPPED THAT ACTION
AND HAVE.
VOTED TO SUPPORT THIS BILL.
THIS IS SIMPLY UNACCEPTABLE IN
THOSE ACTIONS ONLY PERPETUATE A
FAMILY'S FINANCIAL DIFFICULTIES.
WHEN PARENTS LACK THE RESOURCES
TO PAY SCHOOLS AND DISTRICTS TO
WORK COOPERATIVELY WITH PARENTS
RATHER THAN ACT LIKE A LOAN
PROVIDER IN SENDING FAMILIES TO
COLLECTIONS.
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY I HAVE
A COUPLE WITNESSES.
GOOD AFTERNOON MICHELLE SOLVE
OUR VINCE HE CHILDREN'S DEFENSE
FUND CALIFORNIA AND WERE PLEASE
TO SPONSOR THIS BILL.
CALIFORNIA'S CONSTITUTION
GUARANTEES EVERY CHILD A FREE
PUBLIC EDUCATION BUT ASK ANY
PARENT IN CALIFORNIA THEY WILL
TELL YOU THAT PUBLIC SCHOOL
ATTENDANCE IS OFTEN ANYTHING BUT
FREE. FROM BUS RIDES TO UNIFORMS
TO SCHOOL SUPPLIES TO LOSS BOOKS
PARENTS WHO LACK THE RESOURCES
TO KEEP UP WITH THE BILLS ARE
HAVE INCREASING OPPORTUNITIES TO
GO INTO DEBT WITH THE SCHOOL.
NO CHILD SHOULD BE BURDEN FROM
BECAUSE OF THEIR PARENTS UNPAID
SCHOOL ME.
SCHOOL THAT.
SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS TAKE
DIRECT ACTION AGAINST THE
STUDENT WHEN THE PARENT ó
STAFF
DID NINE TRANSCRIPTS OR FOR
CERTIFICATES DENYING ACCESS TO
THE LIBRARY. BENNY PARTICIPATION
IN THE GRADUATION CEREMONY OR
ACCESS TO FIELD TRIPS.
FOR INSTANCE AN ADVOCATE SHARED
STORY OF MARIO A STUDENT SAN
DIEGO WHO'D BEEN IN SPECIAL
EDUCATION FOR MOST OF THE
SCHOOLING BEFORE GOING INTO A
TRADITIONAL CLASSROOM FOR HIS
SENIOR YEAR. HE WAS EXCITED
ABOUT HIS GRADUATION CEREMONY
AND THEN GOT A SENIOR DEBT LIST
A WEEK BEFORE THE CEREMONY THAT
LIST A MISSING FOURTH GRADE
BOOK.
IN THE SCHOOL TOLD HIM THAT HE
COULDN'T PARTICIPATE IN THE
CEREMONY UNLESS HE PAID THOSE
STATS HE WAS HEARTBROKEN.
BECAUSE IT WORKS SO HARD TO GET
THERE.
CHILDREN SHOULD SIMPLY NOT BE
USED AS A TOOL FOR GOT
COLLECTION OR SHAMED OR
MARGINALIZED FROM SCHOOL
ACTIVITIES BECAUSE OF HER
PARENTS INABILITY OR
UNWILLINGNESS TO PAY IT THAT.
THAT ADVERSE ACTION TOWARD
STUDENTS CONTRIBUTES TO AN
HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT FOR LOW
INCOME STUDENTS.
FURTHERMORE THIRD PARTY DEBT
COLLECTION FOR SCHOOL DEBTS MAY
ACTUALLY VIOLATE CHILD PRIVACY
LAWS.
THE FAMILY EDUCATION RIGHTS AND
PRIVACY ACT PURPOSE. GENERALLY
PROHIBITS SCHOOLS FROM SHARING
INFORMATION ABOUT ABOUT CHILDREN
WITHOUT RID WRITTEN CONSENT
IT'S NOT CLEAR THAT SCHOOL
DISTRICT SHARING A STUDENTS
INFORMATION WITH A THIRD PARTY
DEBT COLLECTOR. ACTUALLY
COMPLIES WITH FOR ABOUT.
AB NINETEEN SEVENTY FOUR WILL
PREVENT CHILDREN FROM BEING
BROUGHT INTO THE PRIVATE DEBT
PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS BETWEEN THE
SCHOOL AND A PARENT OR GUARDIAN.
THE BILL DOESN'T REQUIRE THAT
SCHOOLS ABSORB ALL OF THE DAY
UNPAID FEES OR STOP COLLECTING
DATA.
IT SIMPLY PROHIBIT SCHOOLS FROM
USING CHILDREN. AS A AS A MEANS
TO COLLECT THOSE DEBTS OR
SHARING INFORMATION ABOUT THAT
CHILD WITH THIRD PARTY DEBT
COLLECTORS.
OUR CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE USES
IT AS TOOLS FOR DEBT COLLECTION
THANK YOU.
GOOD AFTERNOON CATHY SURE FOR
THE ACLU OF CALIFORNIA.
THE RIGHT TO A FREE EDUCATION IS
ENSHRINED IN THE CALIFORNIA
CONSTITUTION. THAT RIGHT IS NOT
CONTINGENT ON THE STUDENTS OR
FAMILY'S ABILITY TO PAY FEES.
DENYING A STUDENT THE ABILITY TO
RECEIVE GRADES ARE TRANSCRIPTS
TO TAKE PART OF SCHOOL
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS FIELD TRIPS
OR EVEN TO PARTICIPATE IN
GRADUATION CEREMONY BECAUSE THE
FAMILY HAS UNPAID FEES IS QUITE
SIMPLY A DENIAL OF THAT
CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHT.
SUCH ACTIONS ARE ALSO
FUNDAMENTALLY UNFAIR TO LOW
INCOME STUDENTS WHO AREBURDENED
WITH BOTH THE SHAME OF HAVING
THEIR PEERS KNOW ABOUT THEIR
STRUGGLES. BECAUSE ALL OF THE
STEPS ARE THINGS THAT OTHER
STUDENTS ARE EASILY GOING TO BE
ABLE TO OBSERVE. AND BARRIERS TO
GETTING THE EDUCATION THEY
DESERVE WHEN THE SCHOOLS TAKE
ACTION AGAINST THEM BECAUSE OF
THE FAMILY'S UNPAID FEES.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA IS
COMMITTED TO EQUITY IN ITS
SYSTEM OF PUBLIC EDUCATION BUT A
SCHOOL TAKING NEGATIVE ACTION
AGAINST A STUDENT BECAUSE THE
PARENTS HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PAY
FEES IS NOT EQUITABLE. IT HARM
STUDENTS FROM LOWER INCOME
FAMILIES WHILE STUDENTS FROM
HIGHER INCOMES FAMILIES HAVE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
TO PRESERVE THE RIGHT OF ALL
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS TO A FREE
EDUCATION AND TO PROTECT
EDUCATIONAL EQUITY IN OUR STATE
WE ASK THAT YOU VOTE YES ON AB
NINETEEN SEVENTY FOUR.
THANK YOU THE CLARIFY THE
AMENDMENTS HONOR THE EGGS OF THE
BILL'S PROVISIONS FOR DEBT OWED
DUE TO VANDALISM.
OR LOS WILFUL DAMAGE TO SCHOOL
PROPERTY.
THOSE ARE THE ONES WE DISCUSSED
TODAY.
THOSE AMENDMENTS WE DISCOVERED
LATER TODAY I I WOULD LIKE TO.
WE WILL NOT RENEGOTIATE THEM
NOW.
THAT'S FINE NOT IT'S I I KNOW
YOU WANT YOU WANT TO WORK ON
THIS BILL FURTHER I KNOW THE
YOUR I ONE OF OUR MOTHERS WILL
FURTHER I WANT TO CLARIFY ONE
THING THAT I WAS CONCERNED WITH.
VANDALISM YES WILLFUL.
LOSS YES BUT I AM CONCERNED
ABOUT HOMELESS STUDENTS WHO MAY
LOSE TEXTBOOKS BECAUSE OF
DISPLACEMENT OF THEIR OWN WHEN
WE DO THIS WHEN WE HAVE A
CONVERSATION ABOUT THAT. YEAH
I'M AND THAT'S WHAT I DON'T
THINK IT'S HARD TO GET. TO KNOW
TO EXACTLY I THINK IT'S A VERY
SMALL.
PERCENTAGE BUT WE HAVE NO
RECORD NINE TO SEE IF THERE WAS
SOME CONVERSATION HAD TODAY WAS
LIKE THIS IS PRETTY NAILED DOWN
NO IT IS ONLY NOW DOWN TO BE
GOING BACK ON THAT PATH YOU
KNOW.
THESE SMALL AYE AYE AYE AYE I
DON'T.
UNFORTUNATELY THINK FIRST OF A
HOMELESS STUDENT WHO MAYBE GETS
DISPLACED SIX TIMES DURING A
SCHOOL THAT IS A LEGITIMATE
CONCERN SOAPS AWAY WILL
CONTEMPLATE THAT'S WILL
CONTEMPLATE THAT ACCEPT
AMENDMENTS HAS RIGHT NOW.
BINGO THANK YOU.
OTHERS IN SUPPORT. OF MY CARE
WITH WESTERN CENTER LAW POVERTY
IN SUPPORT OF.
LARA PRESIDENT OF THE
ASSOCIATION OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS I'M WITH THE
AMENDMENT STATES AS I THINK I
UNDERSTAND THEM.
WE ARE ABLE TO SUPPORT.
OTHERS IN OPPOSITION.
IN SUPPORT THOUGH.
SHUT OFF.

IN SUPPORT YES OKAY COUNTY
QUICKLY DANIELLE CANNOT KAISER
ON BEHALF OF COMMON SENSE KIDS

THESE LOSE BROWN JUNIOR ON
BEHALF OF POLICY MAKING THE
LINES FOR BOYS AND MEN OF COLOR
IN STRONG SUPPORT. THANK YOU
OKAY AYE THOSE IN OPPOSITION.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN CLIFF
WE'RE HERE WE HAVE THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
COLLECTORS.
I HAVE TO SAY MY CLIENT IS
SYMPATHETIC TO THE INTENT OF THE
AUTHOR AND TO MOST OF THE
PROVISIONS OF THE BILL. ARM AND
WE'RE IN CONVERSATION WORKING
WITH HER ON TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
THE RIGHT APPROACH. CURRENTLY IS
THE IS THE BILL IS CURRENTLY
WRITTEN A CONTAINS A COMPLETE.
BAN ON A SCHOOL JUST YOUR SCHOOL
CONTRACTING WITH A COLLECTION
AGENCY WE THINK THAT IS OVER
BROAD AND IS NOT EXACTLY THE
RIGHT APPROACH YOU KNOW. LOOK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH THE
AUTHOR IN TRYING TO DRILL DOWN
I'M REALLY FOCUSING ON WHAT
AREAS ARE A PROBLEM BUT.
THE APPROACH OF.
IN ESSENCE COOLEY BANNING A
RELATIONSHIP WITH WILL LEGAL
BUSINESSES WHEN CERTAIN SCHOOL
DISTRICTS DON'T HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO DO THAT. AS WELL AS
FULL IN THE NEED TO FOCUS ON
SPECIFIC.
PROBLEM AREAS I THINK.
WE'RE CERTAINLY SYMPATHETIC TO
PROTECT.
NEW RESEARCH PROBLEMATIC
PRACTICES BUT AT THIS TIME WE
ARE OPPOSED.
OTHERS IN OPPOSITION SARAH
BOTCHES WITH KASBAH WE HAD AN
OPPOSE UNLESS AMENDED DUE TO THE
CONVERSATION THAT TOOK PLACE
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS AND WE LOOK
FORWARD TO IT RECONSIDERING OUR
POSITION.
SINGLE MOTHERS FURTHER
OPPOSITION.
BEHIND THE RAIL ANY COMMENTS.
MR MCCARTY SURE I'D CAME IN A
BIT LATE BUT I I SUPPORT THE
BELT MOVE THE BILL RIGHT NOW.
BEGIN WITH THE MEMBER I DO HAVE
A QUESTION FOR YOU SO. I I THINK
IT'S IT'S UP I THINK THE BELIEF
OF MANY OF US THAT WE DON'T WANT
TO.
PENALIZE BEING POOR THAT'S WHY
WE DID THAT YOU KNOW THAT
SHAMING FOR SCHOOL LUNCHES LAST
YEAR. AND IN THIS BILL IN THE
STORIES THAT YOU YOU BRING UP
FROM YOUR.
ON AREAS SAN DIEGO.
I THINK PROVIDERS POWERFUL
EXAMPLES THAT WE DON'T HAVE YOU
KNOW HARM PEOPLE CORRECTIVE FOR
FOR BEING POOR.
BUT YEAH THAT THERE ARE
HYPOTHETICALS AND I KNOW WE'RE
STILL WORKING ON THIS WHERE.
YET MAYBE INDIVIDUAL.
THAT JUST DOESN'T WANT TO PAY
THEIR AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM AND
THEY'RE THEY'RE NOT NECESSARILY.
A INCOME BRACKET WERE YOU KNOW
POVERTY RISES THAT MAYBE THERE
ARE SOME OUT LIARS AND SO ARE
THERE ANY EXAMPLES WHERE WE'RE
COLLECTION WOULD BE APPROPRIATE
POTENTIALLY.
FOR IT FOR A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
INSIDE JUST WANT TO YOU KNOW
ASK YOU YOUR THOUGHTS ON THAT.
I UNDERSTAND AND I'VE HEARD
HYPOTHETICALS ABOUT STUDENTS AND
DRONES AND RICH AREAS IN PARENTS
NOT WANTING TO PAY FOR.
DRUMS WHICH I DIDN'T KNOW WERE
BEING USED BY SCHOOLS.
AS FAR AS AN AFTER SCHOOL
PROGRAM AND AND.
THAT COULD BE UNIQUE IN NOT
SOMETHING WE WANT TO WORK ON.
OFTEN.
.
SOMETIMES IT'S A THIRD PARTY
OPERATING THAT AFTER SCHOOL
PROGRAM AND SO THE THIRD PARTY
MIGHT HAVE A RELATIONSHIP WITH
THE PARENT.
SEPARATELY CONTRACTUAL
RELATIONSHIP THAT THEY COULD
STILL PURSUE. IF IT'S BEING DONE
THROUGH THE SCHOOL BY ALL MEANS
A SCHOOL COULD AND IT'S AN AFTER
SCHOOL PROGRAM I I THINK WE DID
INTEND TO SAY THAT. THAT
CHILDREN WHO OTHERWISE COULDN'T
QUALIFY FOR FOR FREE OR REDUCED
PRICES COULD CONTINUE TO ATTEND
AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS WITHOUT
PAIN.
THOSE THOSE ARE USUALLY
STRUCTURED IN A WAY THAT YOU GET
BILL DINNER AND A SYSTEMATIC.
TIME FRAME AND IF YOU.
OUR CONTINUED IF YOU'RE NOT
PAYING YOUR BILL COULD NOT
UTILIZE SOMETHING THAT IS EXTRA
BEYOND THE SCHOOL DAY. I'M SO I
THINK THAT THERE ARE OTHER TOOLS
AVAILABLE MY CONCERN IS.
IS WRITING HUGE EXEMPTIONS
RIGHT BECAUSE. YOU KNOW WE
STARTED THIS WITH WITH THE FACT
THAT.
DEBT COLLECTORS WERE BEING USED
AND FOUND OUT LATER BY A SCHOOL
DISTRICT THAT THE THEY WERE
ACTUALLY GETTING BACK. AND THEY
WERE LOSING MONEY USING A DEBT
COLLECTOR IT WAS THE THREAT OF
THE QUESTION AND IN MEANTIME
RUNNING PEOPLE'S CREDIT NAM. AND
THOSE WERE MAINLY.
MIDDLE CLASS OR MIDDLE CLASS
STUDENTS TO A MAIN I'VE BEEN
FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH PROGRAM
BEGINNING YEAR AND THEN BECOME.
APPARENTLY IS IS A JOB OR HAS A
DIFFERENT SITUATION.
SO I IF THERE'S SPECIFIC THINGS
THAT WE CAN RIDE INTO PROTECT.
.
TO PROTECT SCHOOLS FROM RICH
PARENTS WHO JUST DON'T WANNA PAY
BILLS ARE MORE THAN HAPPY TO DO
THAT I KNOW AND TENSION DID I
HAVE.
YOU KNOW.
AS A BILL TO ALLOW.
PEOPLE TO CIRCUMVENT THEIR
RESPONSIBILITY.
SO WERE MORE THAN HAPPY TO WORK
WITH YOU HAVE SOME IDEAS ON
THAT.
THANK YOU AND MAYBE THE PLACE TO
GO IS HAVE THE STATE BACK FROM
THOSE DOLLARS ASSOCIATE WITH THE
LOS.
IF WE'RE SAYING YOU CAN'T
COLLECT ON THAT. AND AGAIN FOR
FREE REDUCED AYE AYE THEY ARE
PROBABLY ALREADY EXEMPT MANY
CASES YEAH.
SO DOES A CONVERSATIONS WE CAN
HAVE DOWN THERE ARE RATHER THAN
HAVING A SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
AT EVERY SCHOOL. THAT'S A
DIFFERENT BILL I DIDN'T SEE YOU
CAN ASK.
I DON'T KNOW THAT SEEMS REALLY
EXPENSIVE TO I THINK I WAS A CO
AUTHOR.
BUT I'M MISTER BECAUSE THAT THE
REPORTER FROM THE APPROACH HERE.
YOU KILEY HANNAH.
I'M SURE MANY QUESTIONS.
OKAY BACK TO BACK TO THIS BILL
I'M SAID THE CHAIR I HAD JUST
DIED ACTION BROUGHT UP THE POINT
I WAS GOING TO RAISE.
LOOKING AT THE COMMITTEE
ANALYSIS LOOKS LIKE.
LOCATE INCOME.
FAMILIES ARE ALREADY EXEMPT
FROM A LOT OF THESE FEES SO I'D
WHY IS THIS BILL NECESSARILY A
PRIORITY AND.
THE AUTHOR FOR THE WESTERN
CENTER ON LAW AND POVERTY WHEN.
IT'S NOT JUST THE PEACE FIRST OF
ALL AND AND.
TICKETS TO BE.
CLEAR IT'S NOT JUST FEES ADD IN
WERE TALKING IN SPECIFICALLY
ABOUT BY SEEN YES ON ON BY SEEN
FREE AND REDUCED.
LUNCH SOME CHILDREN WHO FALL
UNDER THAT CATEGORY OFTEN ARE
COVERED BUT YOU HAVE SITUATIONS
THROUGHOUT THE YEAR. THAT.
A CHILD TO ME START OFF THE
YEAR ANY.
WITH PARENTS IN A FINANCIAL
POSITION WHERE THEY ARE NOT
SUBJECT TO THAT THINGS CAN
CHANGE.
AND WE SEE THAT A LOT.
SITUATIONS CHANGE.
BUT IT'S NOT JUST THE BY SEEN
ASPECT THAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
HERE WERE ALSO TALKING ABOUT
THINGS LIKE STAMP GREEN AYE AYE
CHILD'S AYE DIPLOMA ARE NOT
GIVING EACH HOW DIPLOMA BECAUSE
OF THE DEBTS OF THEIR PARENTS.
THERE SOMETHING FUNDAMENTALLY
UNFAIR ABOUT THAT IT IS NOT THE
CHILD'S FAULT WE SHOULD NOT
PENALIZE A CHILD.
FOR HAVING AYE IN SITUATIONS
WHERE THEY'RE THEIR PARENTS ARE
NOT POOR.
HAVING HAVING PARENTS WERE
UNWILLING TO PAY FOR SOMETHING
IN EDUCATION IS SUPPOSED TO BE
FREE. AND SO WE JUST WANT TO
ENSURE THAT THE CHILD IS LEFT
HARMLESS.
IN ANY KIND OF SITUATION BY
WHICH THE PARENTS RESPONSIBLE
THAT'S WHY WE ACCEPTED THE
AMENDMENT ON THINGS LIKE
VANDALIZE SCHOOL BOOKS RIGHT
THAT IS A SITUATION.
BY WHICH MOST OF THE TIME AT THE
CHILD IS NOT THE PART OF THE
CHILD IS IN FACT.
THE PERSON WHO COSTS.
FOR THAT KIND OF THE THE OTHER
PART OF THE.
THE DECK
DO KNOWN PRACTICE WHAT WHAT
USUALLY HAPPENS HOW SCHOOLS ARE.
IS THAT ARE THEY ARE MOST THEN
USING THAT COLLECTORS ARE TO.
I HAVE
SO. WE FOUND WHEN WE FIRST
STARTED THAT MOST WERE NOT USING
DEBT COLLECTORS IN AND SAN DIEGO
WAS A.
UNUSUAL CIRCUMSTANCE AND HAVE
SENT STANDING UPRIGHT HAS SINCE
STOPPED THAT PRACTICE.
HOWEVER I IN FURTHER REVIEW IN
FACT MEETING WITH THE OPPONENTS
AND WE FOUND THAT IN FACT
SOME RURAL SCHOOLS USE THAT KIND
OF CONTRACT WITH DEBT COLLECTORS
IN THE PROCESS OF DOING THEIR
NORMAL.
JUST COLLECTION OF ACCOUNTS
RECEIVABLE SO THAT'S WHAT HE WAS
TALKING ABOUT HAVING TO DEAL
WITH.
TO USE A THIRD PARTY YOU
OUTSOURCE.
COLLECTING JUST LIKE THINGS
THAT.
ARE RIGHTFULLY BEING CHARGED.
AND WE WON ENSURE.
THAT THAT COULD BE DONE IN A
WAY THAT THAT DOESN'T VIOLATE
FEDERAL LAW.
BUT ALSO DOESN'T PUT PEOPLE'S.
.
CREDIT AT JEOPARDY.
CREDIT SCORE.
I SEE SO THAT'S AN ALTERNATIVE
YOU'D ACTUALLY.
THE OPEN TO.
IF WE CAN DO IT WHERE DOESN'T
VIOLATE FEDERAL LAW WHERE SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS SIMPLY.
I I HATE THAT THERE OUTSOURCING
BUT THEY HAVE TO CONTRACT WITH A
THIRD PARTY IN ORDER TO DO KIND
OF THE ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE AT A
SCHOOL THAT IS NOT WHAT I'M
TRYING TO PREVENT SO WHAT THAT
OFTEN THAT.
COPYRIGHT.
WISE ONE OKAY AND OTHER NON.
THE ACTINS OF A DEBT WELL WHAT
WAS HAPPENING IN SAN DIEGO WAS A
TRADITIONAL DEBT COLLECTION
SITUATION WHERE THEIR CONTRACT
AFTER TRYING TO. RECEIVE THE
PAYMENT FROM THE PARENT.
THEY SENT IT TO A DEBT
COLLECTOR I'VE SOLD IT FOR
PENNIES ON THE DOLLAR THEY IN
FACT LOST MONEY BY DOING THIS
AND.
AND AS A RESULT THE DEBT
COLLECTORS WORKED.
ARE.
I DON'T WANNA OFFEND ANYONE'S
BUSINESS BUT.
.
I PURSUED THE DEBT.
IN A WAY THAT'S TRADITIONAL LIKE
ANY OTHER DEBT IN EVENTUALLY
LEADING TO PEOPLE'S AYE CREDIT
SCORE BEING RENT.
SO YOU IT SEEMS LIKE THE CONCERN
IS WITH THE CREDIT MOSTLY ON AND
YOUR AND.
THAT WILL TAKE A HIT IF YOU GO
TO REGISTER OFFICIAL DEBT
COLLECTOR BUT SOME OF THE THIRD
PARTY WHOSE.
ACTUALLY COLLECTING THAT'S MAYBE
THAT WON'T HAPPEN WHAT EVEN THE
SCHOOLS DO WRITE A SCHOOL
DOESN'T JUST SEND YOU KNOW YOUR
YOUR THEY HAVE A FORM OF OF
ALERTING PARENTS THAT YOU OWE
SOMETHING RIGHT. AND SOME
SCHOOLS YOU NOW AND I'VE.
FORGOTTEN TO PAY SOMETHING ONCE
AND GOTTEN SIXTEEN EMAILS FROM
THE SPORTS I COME IN AND PAY IT
MOUNTS NORMAL ACTIVITY THAT
HAPPENS I THINK IT'S SCHOOLS
AND.
OBVIOUSLY IF YOU'RE LARGE ENOUGH
SCHOOL. YOU KNOW YOU YOU CAN
PROVIDE THAT WITHIN YOUR OWN
ACCOUNTING SYSTEM I I DO FEEL I
FEEL I I I UNDERSTAND IF IT'S A
SMALL WORLD SCHOOL ARE A SMALL
SCHOOL CAN'T PROVIDE FOR A
POSITION THAT DOES THAT THAT
THAT MIGHT BE NECESSARY.
DOES THAT MAKE SENSE.
YEAH I GUESS SO I'M.
I'M.
STILL A LITTLE UNCLEAR AND I YOU
KNOW.
WHETHER YOU'RE IS CATEGORICALLY
OPPOSED TO THIS
TAKE YOUR INDUSTRY TO HAVING ANY
ROLE IN THE PROCESS BY WHICH
WOULD ALLOW FOR THIRD PARTIES
TO.
WE HAVE TO MAKE SURE THAT IT A
BY WE ARE ABIDING BY FEDERAL LAW
FOR SO LONG YOU KNOW AND MAKING
SURE WE'RE NOT GIVING AWAY THAT
STUDENTS INFORMATION.
BUT I AM NOT OPPOSED TO PEOPLE
COLLECTING WHAT IS OWED I AM
OPPOSED TO ROUTINE.
YOU KNOW COAXES AS.
CREDIT SCORE ESPECIALLY THOSE
WHO ARE UNATTAINABLE SOLICIT
SITUATION AND ARE PAYING FOR
SOMETHING QUITE FRANKLY THAT I
THINK WE'RE DOING A DISSERVICE
TO MOST PARENTS BY NOT.
PROVIDING FOR FREE.
CAN I CAN I ASK WHAT YOU MAY NOT
KNOW THE ANSWER MAYBE THE
OPPOSITION URBAN
SUPPORTERS WILL NOT. IS IS
GOVERNMENT DEBT WHEN IT GOES TO
A COLLECTION AGENCY DOES IT
IMPACT YOUR CREDIT SCORE.
IT I THOUGHT ADDITIONALLY DOES
NOT THERE'S AN EXCEPTION BUT IT
WITH THAT IF YOU USE AN
INDEPENDENT LIKE THE BUS SERVICE
THAT IN SAN DIEGO IT DEAD SO
THAT THE PARENTS WHO SPOKE OUT.
NAKAI CLIPPER BACK.
I THINK THE ANSWER. WOULD BE
THAT YOU TO CLOSE THE KIND OF
GOVERNMENT DEBT SO THERE IS AN
AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE NATIONAL
ATTORNEY GENERAL'S ASSOCIATION.
DEBT COLLECTION IN THE CREDIT
BUREAUS THAT CERTAIN TIE KINDS
OF GOVERNMENT DEBT SUCH AS
PENALTIES AND FEES ARE NOT
REPORTABLE. ARM ON CREDITS.
OTHER KINDS OF THAT ARE
ACTUALLY CONTRACTUAL.
AGREEMENTS
WERE YOU AGREED WITH A
GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO ACCEPT THE
SERVICE IN RETURN JUST LIKE ANY
NORMAL PRIVATE TRANSACTION WOULD
BE REPORTABLE I THINK HOWEVER IN
THE CASE OF.
ON THE SCHOOL DEBT SITUATION
THAT WE'VE BEEN TALKING TO THE
AUTHOR ABOUTS NAM CERTAINLY WE
ARE WILLING TO WORK WITH HER IN
TRYING TO. ADDRESS HER CONCERNS
ABOUT CREDIT REPORTING OVER
THESE KINDS OF EDUCATION ALL
EXPENSES THAT BECAUSE
YOU KNOW CLEARLY FALL INTO THIS
CATEGORY OF AREAS OF EQUAL
EDUCATION.
AND PROTECTING STUDENTS
AND LOW INCOME STUDENTS AND
FAMILIES FROM HAVING THEIR
CREDIT SCORES IN ANYWAY.
AFFECTED BY NORTON WHAT WOULD BE
NORMAL COLLECTION ACTIVITIES
EVEN THOSE CONTRACTUAL SO WE'RE
HOPING TO WORK WITH THEIR AND
I'M WRITING THE RIGHT LANGUAGE
TO COVER THE SITUATIONS IN THIS.
IN THIS INSTANCE BUT YEAH THERE
ARE BROAD LIMITS CERTAIN KINDS
OF GOVERNMENT DEBT IS.
REPORTABLE SOME SOME ISN'T I
WOULD ALSO JUST ADD JUST FOR THE
RECORD.
THE COLLECTION INDUSTRY WHICH
REPRESENTS BANKS AND HOSPITALS
AND DOCTORS
HOUSE TO ABIDE BY ALL OF THE
PRIVACY LAWS IN OUR COUNTRY
WHETHER IT'S HIP ARE. WHETHER
IT'S FINANCIAL PRIVACY AND THEY
CERTAINLY ARE GOING AGREE AND
IT'S PART OF THEIR YOU KNOW BOTH
LEGAL WORK RESPONSIBILITY IN
THAT WOULD BE SUED AT THE GAZOO
BUT THE VIOLATE ANYBODY'S
PRIVACY RIGHTS AND TO REJECT IN
THE EDUCATION AREA. THAT'S
COMPLY WITH ALL THAT IN THE IN
THE HEALTHCARE IN THE FINANCIAL
PRIVACY. AREAS SO CERTAINLY
HAPPY TO REASSURE THE AUTHOR OF
ANY KINDS OF NEED TO RESTATE
THAT.
THANK YOU.

MOTIONS DO PASS AS AMENDED TO
THE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE.

DEMONSTRATE THEIR READINESS FOR
LIFE WORK AND CITIZENSHIP IN OUR
DIVERSE EVOLVING AND
INTERCONNECTED SOCIETY. BUT IN
ED CODE AND OTHER OFFICIALS
STATE DOCUMENTS THESE PROGRAMS
ARE NOT DESIGNATED AS WORLD
LANGUAGE BUT AS FOREIGN LANGUAGE
AND THIS POSES DIFFICULTIES ON
NUMEROUS FRONTS.
FOR EXAMPLE THE WORD FOREIGN
OFTEN HAS A NEGATIVE CONNOTATION
THAT SETS ONE GROUP OF PEOPLE OR
OBJECTS
APART FROM OTHERS AS BEING
STRANGE. ALIEN DIFFERENT AND
UNFAMILIAR. AND THE FACT THAT
THESE FOUR TERMS ARE THE MOST
COMMON SYNONYMS OF THE WORD
FOREIGN PROVIDES COMPELLING
EVIDENCE THAT CLASSIFYING THE
STUDY OF LANGUAGES AS FOREIGN.
RISKS PROMOTING A CONNOTATION
THAT IS IN DIRECT CONTRAST TO
THE UNIFYING WORK WE DO S. WORLD
LANGUAGE EDUCATORS.
AND TO THE DISTINCT VALUE THAT
CALIFORNIA'S VAST LINGUISTIC AND
CULTURAL DIVERSITY BRINGS TO OUR
COMMUNITIES AND OUR LOCAL AND
GLOBAL BUSINESS OPERATIONS.
AND IN FACT IN CALIFORNIA A
STATE THAT IS RICH IN DIVERSITY
NO LANGUAGES TRULY FOREIGN.
CHANGING ALL REFERENCES IN AT
CODE AND OFFICIAL DOCUMENTS TO
WORLD LANGUAGE SENDS A CLEAR
MESSAGE THAT OUR WEALTH OF
NATIVE AND ACQUIRED LANGUAGES
ARE AN ASSET. THAT SETS
CALIFORNIA APART AND CERTAINLY
NOT A FOREIGN PHENOMENON IN OUR
LINGUISTIC AND CULTURALLY
DIVERSE SOCIETY.
IN FACT AMERICAN SIGN LANGUAGE
AND THE NUMEROUS NATIVE AMERICAN
LANGUAGES SPOKEN IN CALIFORNIA
ARE ABSOLUTELY NOT FOREIGN. BUT
CURRENTLY THESE TRULY AMERICAN
LANGUAGES MUST BE CLASSIFIED AS
FOREIGN LANGUAGES DUE TO THE
WORDING CURRENTLY IN PLACE AN AD
CODE. AND FOR ALL OFFICIAL
EDUCATION DOCUMENTS.
IN ADDITION IT IS IMPORTANT TO
KNOW THAT FORTY TWO OF FIFTY
STATES HAVE ALREADY A RACE TO
THE TERM FOREIGN AND REPLACED IT
WITH THE TERM WORLD WHEN
REFERENCING COURSES OF STUDY
AIMED. AT LEARNING LANGUAGES
OTHER THAN ENGLISH.
THERE FOR IN THE STATE IN THE
SPIRIT OF INCLUSIVENESS AND ON
BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS WORLD IN

CITIZENS OF CALIFORNIA'S

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND

B. TWO TWO SEVEN ONE. AND AS A
CLASSROOM TEACHER AND WATCHING
MY STUDENTS FOR MANY MANY YEARS
I EAT LUNCH. A THAT WE KNOW THAT
OVER THE YEARS. THAT OUR LUNCHES
OF CHANGE WE WENT FROM A.
SCHOOL SITES PREPARING MEALS ON
SITES EVEN CENTRAL KITCHENS
PREPARING MEALS TO NOW A MUCH OF
THE LUNCH I.
TYPES OF FOODS ARE PACKAGED IN
BROUGHT TO THE SCHOOLS SO MY
BILL WOULD HELP REDUCE FOOD
WASTE ON OUR K.. TWELVE SCHOOLS
BY EXPANDING EXISTING GRANT
OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOW AVAILABLE
THROUGH THE NATIONAL SCHOOL
LUNCH PROGRAM EQUIPMENT
ASSISTANCE GRANTS.
I BASICALLY THIS WHOLE OUT
SCHOOLS TO MATCH THEIR FUNDS
WITH THE NATIONAL SCHOOL LUNCH
TO BUY A LARGER EQUIPMENT SO
THEY COULD IN FACT START OUGHT
TO COOK. HEALTHIER MEALS NELSON
MIGHT STILL THAT'LL TAKE A QUITE
A BIT OF TIME IN ONE OF THE
DISTRICTS IN MY WAS.
DISTRICT CENTRALIA THEY
ACTUALLY ALREADY ARE DOING THIS
AND WHAT THEY ARE DOING IS
THEY'RE TAKING SOME OF THEIR
OLDER.
TYPES OF EQUIPMENT THAT THEY
PRETTY MUCH PUT AWAY IN THE LAST
DECADE BROUGHT IT OUT HAVE
PURCHASED SOME OTHER TYPES OF
LARGER COOKING EQUIPMENT TO
PRETTY MUCH PREPARE. OF FOOD ON
SITE THERE.
THEY NOW CALL THEIR COOK A CHEF
THEY SCHOOL CHEF WHICH WE HAVE
HEARD THAT I'M SURE BUT.
THOUGH THE OF A SHELF ON
BELIEVES IN WHAT HE'S DOING SO
MUCH THAT HE SAYS IS YOUNG
DAUGHTER ACTUALLY EATS THE FOOD
AND THEY TESTED OUT AT HOME.
HE'S ALSO TOLD US THAT ON SOME
OF THE PARENTS THEMSELVES HAVE
CALLED TO RECENT DATA. ASKS FOR
THE RECIPES BUT THIS STORY
REALLY RELATES NOT ONLY TO.
NOT WASTING FOOD BUT TO
CREATING HEALTHIER STUDENTS ON
OUR CAMPUS
SO WITH THAT I WOULD ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE.
Q. ANY OTHERS IN SUPPORT SEEN
OTHERS IN SUPPORT ANY OPPOSITION
SITTING ON A CONCERT BEHIND THE.
THE DICE.
TO KILEY.
HI GOOD AFTERNOON MISS SOME I
SAW AYE AYES ONE EXTRA
UNDERSTANDING THIS THERE'S BEEN
WHAT A THREE MILLION DOLLAR.
POT OF MONEY THAT'S BECOME
AVAILABLE THROUGH THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT FOR CALIFORNIA
SCHOOLS TO APPLY FOR AND UP TO
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLAR.
BLOCKS IS THAT RIGHT. WHAT
WOULD BE FOR A MATCHING GRANT SO
I AND YES BUT THAT THE EXISTING
PROGRAMS?
TO THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS IF THEY
ARE INTERESTED IN THIS TYPE OF
APPROACH.
SCHOOLS THAT ARE GETTING THAT
FEDERAL FUNDS EIGHT IS NOT GONNA
LIKE THE RICH GETTING RICHER
AND THE DAY THEY WE AREN'T
NECESSARILY GIVING THE FUNDS TO
THE SAME SCHOOLS AND IT'S UP TO
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IF THEY WANT
TO APPLY BUT IF THEY THEY MAY.
ALREADY HAVE APPLIED AND HAVE
STARTED THIS PROCESS BUT IT
WOULD BE SO MAYBE MULTIPLE
SCHOOLS CAN JOIN TOGETHER OUGHT
TO HAVE A CENTRAL TYPE OF
KITCHEN THAT'S ONE WAY TO LOOK
AT IT PUTTING THEIR MONEY.
TOGETHER.
.
BUT YES IT IS A IT IT WOULD BE
JOINING THE FEDERAL DOLLARS WITH
THE STATE DOLLARS SO THEY CAN
ACTUALLY HAVE ENOUGH. ON IT TO
PUT TOGETHER TO IN ESSENCE BUILD
SOME TYPE OF CENTRAL KITCHEN AND
WE USE TO HAVE THOSE IN MOST OF
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS. MOST OF
THOSE WERE CLOSED DOWN.
NOT AFFECT MY MOTHER USED TO
WORK CAN ONE OF THE CENTRAL
KITCHENS AND THAT'S WHERE THEY
ACTUALLY PREPARED FOOD LIKE.
POTATOES BOILED THEM AND MADE
MASHED POTATOES VERSES USING
PROCESSED
FOOD.
WELL I MEAN I YEAH I I DON'T OF
DATA YOU KNOW I OBJECT TO THAT.
IDEAS AND THINGS COULD BE A
REALLY GOOD THING FOR DISTRICTS
I WAS WONDERING CUT OF WHY IS
THAT YOU KNOW IS A HUNDRED
THOUSAND DOLLARS NOT ENOUGH IS.
TWO IF YOU THINK ABOUT THREE
MILLION DOLLARS ACROSS THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA EVEN IF FOUR FIVE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS APPLIED FOR
THAT THAT STILL VERY LIMITED TO
REALLY START. KIND OF A AYE
PILOT THAT COULD TAKE OFF AND
ENCOURAGE OTHERS SO THIS IS IN
ESSENCE A MATCHING FUNDS.
OKAY I GUESS I JUST LIKE TO SEE
A LITTLE BIT MORE. INFORMATION
ON.
YOU CAN GET YOU ARE NOT
AGRICULTURE DECIDED TO SET THE
LIMITS OF A HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS SO WHY. WE'RE GOING TO
TAKE THE WINNING PANIC
APPLICATIONS AND THEN AUGMENT
THAT MONEY RATHER TRY TO CREATE
A MORE WIDELY.
.
DISTRIBUTED BENEFIT.
WELL IF YOU THINK ABOUT A
HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS IT'S
STILL IF YOU'RE TRYING TO BUT TO
BRING BACK WHAT YOU WOULD CALL A
CENTRAL TYPE OF KITCHEN. AND YOU
LOOK AT DIFFERENT TYPE OF
EQUIPMENT THAT HUNDRED THOUSAND
DOLLARS DEPENDING ON HOW LARGE
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT IS. ON THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT I WORK IN HAS
FIFTEEN SCHOOLS IF YOU THINK
ABOUT A HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS
PER FIFTEEN SCHOOLS. THAT'S.
CAN THOUSAND DOLLARS YOU MIGHT
GET A BIG OF AN FOR THAT.
SO ALL THE OTHER THINGS THAT GO
ALONG WITH THE COOKING UP A
WORKING KITCHEN.
THANK YOU SEE NO OTHER COMMENTS.

IT IS PROPOSING TO EXEMPT

THE BILL THAT WOULD PROVIDE
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT TO OUR
TEACHERS TO SUPPORT LGBTQ
STUDENTS.
I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY A DURING
THE INTERIM. TO HOST A
ROUNDTABLE DISCUSSION ON HOW WE
SUPPORT LGBTQ STUDENTS WHO OFTEN
ARE IMPACTED BY BULLYING. AND
HARASSMENT CAN MISTREATMENT.
AND.
AS PART OUR CONVERSATION WE
LANDED ON. THE NEED FOR
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT FOR OUR
EDUCATORS.
AS YOU KNOW OUR STUDENTS OFTEN
FACE VERBAL PHYSICAL IN ONLINE
HARASSMENT BOTH INSIDE AND OUT
OF SCHOOL.
IT'S MATTER FACT MORE THAN
NINETY PERCENT OF LGBTQ STUDENTS
REPORT HEARING ANTI LGBT Q.
REMARKS AMONG OTHER
DISCRIMINATORY ACTIONS BY THEIR
PEERS.
AS RESULT.
LGBTQ STUDENTS CANNOT BE THE
BEST STUDENTS THAT THEY CAN BE
WHEN THEY ARE SUBJECTED.
TO THESE CONDITIONS IT'S
DIFFICULT TO LEARN. WHEN YOU
FEAR FOR YOUR SAFETY OR YOU FEAR
DISCRIMINATION OR RETALIATION ON
A DAY TO DAY BASIS.
UNFORTUNATELY MANY LGBTQ
STUDENTS WHO HAVE EXPERIENCE
HARASSMENT OR ASSAULT. DO NOT
REPORT THESE INCIDENTS TO STAFF.
AB STUDENTS ARE NOT ALWAYS
CERTAIN AT BET THOSE WHO ARE
AROUND THEM WILL HAVE THE
APPROPRIATE KNOWLEDGE ON HOW TO
RESPOND APPROPRIATELY. THAT'S
WHY IT'S CRITICAL THAT TEACHERS
AND STAFF BE EQUIPPED WITH THE
TRAINING AND TOOLS
THEY NEED TO SUPPORT OUR LGBTQ
YOU.
TO ADDRESS THIS NEED THIS BILL
WILL REQUIRE THAT TEACHERS IN
MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL RECEIVED
TRAINING ABOUT LGBTQ SERVICES
AND SUPPORTS
SO THEY CAN KNOW HOW TO BEST
SUPPORT. AND LGBTQ YOUTH.
WHEN THEY COME SEEKING SUPPORT.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE

GOOD AFTERNOON AGAIN.
MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS MY NAME IS
RICK SOBRE WITH THE QUALITY
CALIFORNIA.
WE ARE PRINT WANT TO THANK
ASSEMBLY MEMBER THURMAN.
AND WE ARE PROUD TO SPONSOR
THIS BILL.
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF
THE TRAINING THEY NEED TO CREATE
SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE LEARNING
ENVIRONMENTS FOR ALL CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS INCLUDES LOOTING THOSE
WHO ARE LGBT Q.. AND MAYBE
FACING HARASSMENT OR LACK OF
ACCEPTANCE AT SCHOOL REJECTION
AT HOME OR DISCRIMINATION IN THE
BROADER COMMUNITY.
OUR TEACHERS AND STAFF ARE ON
THE FRONT LINES OF ENSURING THAT
ALL CHILDREN REGARDLESS OF
BACKGROUND ZIP CODE SEXUAL
ORIENTATION OR GENDER IDENTITY.
HAVE A SHOT AT THE AMERICAN
DREAM.
THAT OFTEN MEANS.
PROVIDING A SAFETY NET AGAINST
THE EFFECTS OF DISCRIMINATION
AND LACK OF ACCEPTANCE THAT
MEMBERS OF THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY
AND ESPECIALLY OUR YOUTH FACE.
AND WHICH IS TOO OFTEN THE
RESULT OF HIGH WHICH ARE TOO
OFTEN RESULTS IN HIGHER DROPOUT
RATE.
LOWER ECONOMIC SUCCESS.
HIGH RATES OF HOMELESSNESS FOR
OUT OF TEN.
HOMELESS YOUTH IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ARE LGBTQ.
A HIGH 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 LGBT Q. STUDENTS HAVE THAT
SUPPORT IN SCHOOL THEIR
LIKELIHOOD OF OVERCOMING THESE
DISPARITIES THE DISPARITIES I
MENTIONED.
AND SUCCEEDING IN LIFE INCREASES
SIGNIFICANTLY.
THAT'S WHY A QUALITY CALIFORNIA
IS SO DEDICATED TO IMPROVING
SCHOOL ENVIRONMENTS AND MAKING
THEM SAFER AND MORE INCLUSIVE.
IT'S WHY WE'VE LOST LAUNCH ARE
SAFE AND SUPPORTIVE SCHOOLS
PROGRAM TO ASSESS WHAT SCHOOLS
ARE DOING TO PROTECT AND SUPPORT
THEIR LGBTQ STUDENTS AND
HIGHLIGHT BEST PRACTICES FROM
SCHOOLS. THAT ARE CREATING
INNOVATIVE INITIATIVES AND
ACHIEVING POSITIVE OUTCOMES.
ULTIMATELY WE KNOW THAT
SUPPORTIVE TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
STAFF CAN CHANGE OUR CHILDREN'S

EXISTING LAWS INTENDED TO

DISCRIMINATION AT SCHOOL. AMONG
OTHER PROTECTIONS LAW REQUIRES
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION TO
ASSESS WHETHER ELEAZAR PROVIDE
INFORMATION TO MIDDLE SCHOOL AND
HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS ON SCHOOL
AND COMMUNITY RESOURCES FOR.
LGBTQ STUDENTS.
DESPITE THESE STEPS LGBTQ
STUDENTS STILL FACE BULLYING
HARASSMENT AND A LACK OF
ACCEPTANCE WHICH LEAD NOT ONLY
TO LOWER LEVELS OF ACADEMIC
EXCESS BUT ALSO TO A RANGE OF
OUT OF SCHOOL NEGATIVE OUTCOMES.
AB TWENTY ONE FIFTY THREE IS A
SIMPLE STEP TOWARDS ENSURING
THAT THE INFORMATION ON

NEED IT FOR STUDENTS.
BY REQUIRING TRAININGS FOR

AB TWENTY SIX A ONE WHICH
EXTENDS A CALIFORNIA HEALTHY USE
ACT.
COMPREHENSIVE SEX EDUCATION AND
HIV PREVENTION MANDATES ON
TRADITIONAL. AUNTS TREES THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS TO CHARTER
SCHOOLS.
AT THE TIME WHEN WE PRESENTED
A. B. OF TWENTIES AT THE FIRST
BILL IN TERMS OF THE HEALTHY
YOUTH ACT. IT WAS NOT MY EVER MY
THOUGHT THAT IT WOULD NOT APPLY
TO ALL SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF SEX
EDUCATION HEALTHY EDUCATION. IS
SOMETHING THAT EVERY CHILD
SHOULD HAVE A SYSTEM MEETS THIS
FUNDAMENTAL AS READING WRITING
AND MATH AND THE SCIENCES ARE
AND WHERE WE.
AND BUT OTHERS HAD A TENDENCY
TO NOT SEE IT BECAUSE WE DIDN'T
CALL IT OUT EVEN THOUGH HE SAID
IT WAS FOR PUBLIC SCHOOLS WE
DIDN'T CALL IT OUT. AND SO
THEREFORE AB TWENTY SIX A ONE
EXIST TODAY TO ENSURE THAT
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOL
STUDENTS RECEIVE COMPREHENSIVE
SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION AND HIV
PREVENTION EDUCATION. AT LEAST
ONCE IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND IN
HIGH SCHOOL WITH INSTRUCTION
THAT IS ACCESSIBLE FOR STUDENTS
WITH DISABILITIES AND ENGLISH
LEARNERS. THIS BILL REALLY SETS
A FUND MUCH A FOUNDATIONAL
BASELINE FOR SEX EDUCATION IN
CHARTER SCHOOLS WHILE
MAINTAINING SIGNIFICANT
FLEXIBILITY FOR CHARTERS TO
DECIDE WHAT CURRICULUM THEY
ADOPTED WHAT SPECIFIC GRAYSON
PROVIDE INSTRUCTION AND OTHER
CURRICULA ELEMENTS.
THE RESEARCH IS CLEARLY YOUNG
PEOPLE CRITICALLY NEED HELP
QUALITY HEALTH EDUCATION.
SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION MORE
THAN HALF OF CALIFORNIA'S
STUDENTS ARE SEXUALLY ACTIVE IN
THE TWELFTH GRADE CALIFORNIA'S
GOING STI RATES ARE HIGHEST IN
YOUNG PEOPLE AGES FIFTEEN TO
TWENTY FOUR. AND SADLY NEARLY
TWELVE TO TEN PERCENT OF
CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
EXPERIENCE SEXUAL DATING
VIOLENCE AND PHYSICAL DATING
VIOLENCE WISP OF RESPECTIVELY.
AS CALIFORNIA SEEKS TO ADDRESS
SEXUAL HARASSMENT AND ABUSE
COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL HEALTH
EDUCATION WITH ITS FOCUS ON
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS CONSENT
AND CHALLENGING NEGATIVE JIM
JUST GENDER STEREOTYPES IS
ESSENTIAL. FOR PREVENTING THESE
NEGATIVE BEHAVIORS BEFORE THEY
START. AT A TIME WHEN FEDERAL
FUNDING FOR ABBOTT FOR
ADOLESCENT SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH IS BEING CUT CALIFORNIA
NEEDS TO DO MORE TO ENSURE THAT
CHARTER SCHOOL STUDENTS HAVE THE
SAME ACCESS.
THE COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL HEALTH
EDUCATION THAT'S ALL OF THE
PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS AB TWENTY
SIX ONE DOES THIS BY ENSURING
THAT ALL CHARTER SCHOOLS PROVIDE
INSTRUCTION ON COMPREHENSIVE
SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION.
WITH ME TODAY OF THIS BILL
SPONSORED BY ACLU THE BLACK
WOMAN OF WELLNESS AND AT ACTS
FOR WOMEN AND GIRLS. OF WITH ME
TODAY TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF AB
TWENTY SIX A ONE IS NANCY
BURGERS FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF

UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY HIGH
SCHOOL AND PHILLIP FULLEST OUT
BURLINGAME WILL BE HERE FROM
ACLU FOR TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE.
YOU MAY PROCEED.
TWO WITNESSES TWO MINUTES UNLESS
YOU LIKE SPLIT THE TIME.
GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS DOCTOR
NANCY BURKE CLASS AN ADOLESCENT
HEALTH RESEARCHER AT THE
UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SAN
FRANCISCO.
FOR MORE THAN FIFTEEN YEARS I'VE
EVALUATED SEX EDUCATION PROGRAMS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
IN THAT TIME OUR STATE HAS MADE
GREAT STRIDES IN IMPROVING THE
HEALTH OF ADOLESCENTS
THIS IS ATTRIBUTABLE IN PART TO
CALIFORNIA'S COMMITMENT TO
COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL HEALTH
INFORMATION AND SERVICES FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE.
RESEARCH HAS MADE CLEAR THAT SEX
EDUCATION THAT ADDRESSES BOTH
ABSTINENCE AND BIRTH CONTROL CAN
HAVE A POSITIVE EFFECT ON
ADOLESCENTS DELAYING SEXUAL
ACTIVITY. INCREASING CONDIMENT
CONTRACEPTIVE USE AND REDUCING
RATES OF UNINTENDED PREGNANCY.
NEW RESEARCH SHOWS ADDITIONAL
IMPACT WHEN EDUCATORS TALK WITH
STUDENTS ABOUT GENDER
STEREOTYPES SEXUAL ORIENTATION
SEXUAL HARASSMENT CONSENT AND
HEALTHY RELATIONSHIPS.
ADOLESCENTS TURNED TO MANY
SOURCES TO LEARN ABOUT SEX AND
RELATIONSHIPS THEIR PARENTS
FRIENDS SIBLINGS MOVIES AND TV
THE INTERNET. AND OFTEN THE
INFORMATION THAT THEY FIND IS
CONFUSING MISLEADING OR JUST
WRONG.
THE CALIFORNIA HEALTHY IS ACT
INSURERS THAT STUDENTS HAVE THE
KNOWLEDGE AND THE SKILLS TO
UNDERSTAND THEIR BODIES FORMER
SPEC POLL IN CONSENSUAL
RELATIONSHIPS AND PROTECT THEIR
SEXUAL HEALTH.
A FEW YEARS AGO I WORKED ON THE
EVALUATION OF A NEW SEX
EDUCATION PROGRAM FOR NINTH
GRADE STUDENTS AT TEN CHARTER
SCHOOLS IN LOS ANGELES.
IT COVERED THE COMPREHENSIVE
RANGE OF TOPICS TOPICS NOW
REQUIRED BY THE CALIFORNIA
HEALTHY YOUTH ACT.
ONE YEAR LATER WE FOUND
CONTINUED POSITIVE EFFECTS ON
THEIR KNOWLEDGE ABILITY TO
MANAGE RISKY SITUATIONS
COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR
PARTNERS AND USE OF HEALTH
SERVICES.
UNFORTUNATELY THE CLASSES ENDED
WHEN THE FUNDING AND.
STUDENTS IN CHARTER SCHOOLS ME
THE SAME INFORMATION AS THEIR
PEERS IN TRADITIONAL PUBLIC
SCHOOLS. A RECENT STUDY IN SAN
DIEGO COUNTY HAS SHOWN THAT THE
SEX EDUCATION RECEIVED BY
CHARTER SCHOOL STUDENTS IS OFTEN
LACKING.
RESEARCHERS FOUND THAT FEWER
THAN HALF OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS
ADDRESSED KEY TOPICS LIKE CONDOM
USE SEXUAL ORIENTATION
COMMUNICATION WITH PARTNERS AND
PARENTS AND SEXUAL ASSAULT. THIS
IS NOT SUFFICIENT EDUCATION TO
PREPARE YOUNG PEOPLE FOR A
HEALTHY FUTURE.
NOR IS IT EQUITABLE ALL YOUNG
PEOPLE NEED AND DESERVE A ACCESS
TO ACCURATE COMPREHENSIVE SEXUAL
HEALTH INFORMATION. AB TWENTY
SIX NO ONE RECOGNIZES THE NEEDS
OF THE GROWING NUMBER OF
STUDENTS IN CALIFORNIA CHARTER
SCHOOLS AND ENSURES THAT THEY
HAVE A STRONG AND EVIDENCE BASED
FOUNDATION IN HOUSE.
THANK YOU THANK YOU.
A GOVERNING MY NAME IS LARRY
SUMMERS I'M A SENIOR AT
UNIVERSITY PREPARATORY HIGH
SCHOOL WHICH IS AT HER SCHOOL
AND TULARE. COUNTY.
A I AM HERE IS EITHER PRESENT
AND IF FOR ACT REMAINING GIRLS
AND THE SOURCE OF THE BEACH HE
CENTER IN BY CELAYA AND I ASK
FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR A BI TWENTY
SIX OH ONE.
DURING MY TIME AS A STANDARD
CHARTER SCHOOL I DID NOT RECEIVE
FULLY COMPREHENDS OF SELF SET
SEXUAL HEALTH EDUCATION. LIKE MY
PEERS AT A PRICE I UNIFIED OPTED
TO GO TO A CHARTER SCHOOL TO
TAKE PART AND THEIR RIGOROUS
CURRICULUM BY DID NOT DECIDE OFF
INTENT INTENTIONALLY OPT OUT OF
SEX ED.
SEX ED ONLY TEACHES.
TAX AND NOT ONLY TEACH US ABOUT
HOW TO PROTECT OURSELVES OF SAFE
SEX BUT THANKS TO THE CALIFORNIA
HEALTHY YOUTH ACT STUDENTS ARE
TAUGHT. ABOUT THE SEXUALITY
SPECTRUM IN GENERATED GENDER
IDENTITY THE INCLUSION OF LGBTQ
EDUCATION NOT ONLY LAYS
FOUNDATION FOR.
LEAVE FOUNDATION FOR A KNOWLEDGE
CURRENT THAT.
MAYES FOUNDATION FOR KNOWLEDGE
GROUP. THAT HOLDS CANS LOW
BALLING FROM MY EXPERIENCE WHEN
YOUNG PEOPLE COME BROKE HIS OF
KNOWLEDGE INSTEAD OF FEARING THE
UNKNOWN WE EXPERIENCED LAST
BLAME CREE FRIENDSHIPS INSTEAD.
WE KNOW SOME OF THE INFORMATION
OF THAT CALIFORNIA HEALTHY YOUTH
ACTING PREGNANCY RATES HAVE
DROPPED THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
BUT NOT MANDATING SEX AND ENTER
SCHOOLS WE'RE LEAVING ABSTINENCE
ONLY EDUCATION ON THE TABLE FOR
HER SCHOOLS AND THE MEN ON THEIR
OWN DISCUSSION.
THESE ABSENCE ONLY EDUCATION
DOES NOT ONLY. DOES MORE HARM
THAN NO EDUCATION AT ALL.
THE ME TACTIC FOR USE OF ABSENCE
ON EDUCATION IS SHAMING THOSE
WHO CHOOSE NOT TO BE ABSENT OR
DON'T APPLY WITH THE MALE FEMALE
BINARY SPECTRUM.
THIS SHAMING NOT.
JUST IS ANOTHER FORM OF BOWLING
BY STUDENTS AND THE TEACHER
ANOTHER THIS SHAMING NEGATIVELY
FACT STUDENTS WHO ARE SURVIVORS
OF SEXUAL ASSAULT INDEED
VIOLENCE OR FINDING THEIR OWN
IDENTITY.
BY WITHHOLDING SEX AT A LARGE
PORTION OF THE NEXT GENERATION
WILL NOT LEARN HOW TO PROTECT
HOW PREPARE OURSELVES.
PROTECTION OF OUR HEALTH NORMAL
WE LEARN ABOUT HEALTHY
RELATIONSHIPS HEALTHY BOUNDARIES
OR LEARN ABOUT PEOPLE WHO ARE
DIFFERENT BUT STILL VERY NORMAL.
THERE'S NO REASON FOR HER SCHOOL

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AB SEVENTEEN FORTY THREE
ESTABLISHING ESTABLISHES ONGOING
FUNDING FOR CAREER TECHNICAL
EDUCATION PROGRAMS. INNER K.
TWELVE SCHOOLS AT FIVE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLARS PER YEAR.
THIS BILL PROVIDES TWELVE
BILLION PER YEAR FOR REGIONAL
TECHNICAL SUPPORT THROUGH COUNTY
OFFICES
OF EDUCATION AS WELL THAT'S THE
LOCAL THE MORE LOCAL INDIVIDUALS
WHO HELPED CONNECT CT PROGRAMS.
WITH INDUSTRY THERE THE INDUSTRY
EXPERTS.
CT IS CRITICAL FOR STUDENTS AND
FOR THE CALIFORNIA ECONOMY I
THINK YOU'RE HEARING THAT MORE
AND MORE YOUR DISTRICTS.
AS BUSINESSES NEED INDIVIDUALS
THAT ARE TRAINED IN ON THE
TECHNICAL SIDE YOU'RE JUST NOT
JUST FROM THE UNIVERSITY SIDE
THE BACCALAUREATE SIDE.
AS A TEACHER I KNOW FIRST HAND
THAT CD PROGRAMS ENGAGE STUDENTS
AND REDUCE DROPOUT RATES.
STUDENTS NEED MULTIPLE PASSED
EXCESS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA. THIS BILL ENSURES
THAT.
CT ENSURES THAT STUDENTS ARE
pBETTER PREPARED FOR LIFE AFTER
GRADUATION WHETHER THAT INCLUDES
COLLEGE OR LEAD STRAIGHT TO A
CAREER.
CURRENCY T. FUNDING STREAMS
EXPIRE THIS YEAR.
WE NEED TO MAINTAIN A STRONG
INFRASTRUCTURE THAT THIS
LEGISLATOR HAS SUPPORTED IN THE
PAST AND TO BUILD ON THAT
INVESTMENT BY PROVIDING STABLE.
ONGOING FUNDING
TO K. TWELVE SCHOOLS ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THIS PROPOSAL KEEPS THE EXISTING
INCENTIVE GRANT APPROACH INTACT.
AS IT IS PROVEN SUCCESSFUL
ENSURING DISTRICTS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA RECEIVE FUNDING. AND
THAT THIS REMAINS A PROGRAM THAT
INCENTIVIZE IS THE CREATION AND
SUPPORT.
STRONG CT PROGRAMS IN A FAIR AND
EQUITABLE MANNER.
WE SEE NO NEED TO DISRUPT THE
SUCCESSFUL EXISTING PROGRAMS BY
CREATING A NEW LEVEL OF
BUREAUCRACY WITH LOCAL CONSORTIA
COORDINATED BY THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE SYSTEM THAT MAY END UP.
LESS EQUITABLE.
I RESPECT THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SYSTEM BUT I
AM NOT CONVINCED THAT THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGES KNOW WHAT K.
TWELVE SCHOOLS NEED. NOR SHOULD
IT PLAY A ROLE IN MANAGING THEM.
AB SEVENTEEN FORTY THREE KEEPS
K. TWELVE DOLLARS IN THE K.
TWELVE SYSTEM.
THIS IS CLEARLY A BY FOR THIS IS
CLEARLY A BIPARTISAN ISSUE I AM
PROUD TO BE JOINED BY TWENTY
FIVE COLLEAGUES.
AS JOINT AUTHORS AND CO AUTHORS
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE
INCLUDING MISTER CHAVEZ MISTER
CARD ESTHER MCCARTY. A MISTER
THURMAN AND MANY OTHERS AND
TODAY WITH ME HERE IS OUR.
BUSINESS BURKE I BELIEVE WISHES
TO SPEAK TO THE ITEM AS WELL.
SHE IS OUT OF YOUR CHAIR OF THE
SELECT COMMITTEE ON CT AND OF
COURSE ONE OF THE JOINT OFFERS
AUTHORS ON THIS BILL IN A STRONG
PROPONENT.
CT.
I THINK YOU FOR HAVING ME AS THE
CHAIR OF THE SELECT COMMITTEE ON
CAREER TECHNICAL EDUCATION AND
ALSO IS THE PROUD SPONSOR JOINT
AUTHOR OF AB SEVENTEEN FORTY
THREE AND ONE I THINK ASSEMBLY
MEMBER O'DONNELL AND ALL OF THAT
TWENTY FIVE BIPARTISAN MEMBERS
FOR THEIR LEADERSHIP. ON THIS
ISSUE.
THREE YEARS AGO WHEN WE
ESTABLISH THE CT INCENTIVE GRANT
WITH NINE HUNDRED MILLION
DOLLARS IN FUNDING I WAS A
STRONG SUPPORTER OF THAT PROGRAM
AND THOUGHT IT WAS CRITICAL AT
THAT TIME TO FILL THE FUNDING.
GAP FOR CT.
AFTER HOLDING SELECT COMMITTEES
THROUGHOUT THE STATE I HAVE BEEN
ABLE TO SEE THE TREMENDOUS
SUCCESS IN SUPPORT OF THE C. T.
INCENTIVE BROWN WE'VE HEARD FROM
COUNTLESS TEACHERS STUDENTS. AND
BUSINESSES AND COMMUNITY
PARTNERS ABOUT THE AMAZING WORK
THAT IS BEING DONE AND THE
RESULTS OF THE INCENTIVE GRANT
PROGRAM.
HISTORICALLY ABOUT SEVENTY
PERCENT OF THE POPULATION DOES
NOT HAVE A FOUR YEAR COLLEGE
DEGREE.
AND THAT IS WHY IT IS SO
IMPORTANT FOR THE LEGISLATURE
AND THE EDUCATION COMMUNITY TO
BE FOCUSED ON COLLEGE AND COOLEY
CAREER READINESS FOR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS.
OUR STUDENTS ARE NOW COMPETING
IN A LOCAL AND GLOBAL ECONOMY
AND WE SHOULD BE DOING
EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HELP THEM
SUCCEED.
THE FUNDING FOR CT PROGRAMS NOT
ONLY HELP STUDENTS DREAM OF
POSSIBILITIES FOR THEIR FUTURE
BUT THEY ALSO CREATE LOCAL BONDS
BETWEEN BUSINESS LABOR AND
GOVERNMENT THAT LAST
GENERATION'S.
WE MUST ENSURE ALL CALIFORNIANS
HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY GAIN THE
SKILLS NECESSARY TO OBTAIN A JOB
THAT PROVIDES ECONOMIC SECURITY
FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND WE MUST
SUPPORT A STRONG AND GROWING
MIDDLE CLASS.
I HEARD A GREAT QUOTE.
A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND ONE OF
MY SELECT COMMITTEE HEARINGS AND
IT WAS. IF WE TEACH TODAY'S
STUDENTS AS WE TAUGHT YESTERDAY
WE ROB THEM OF TOMORROW.
LET'S BE INNOVATIVE LETS BUILD
OUR ECONOMY AND LET'S GIVE OUR
STUDENTS A TOMORROW I
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST AN AYE VOTE
ON AB SEVENTEEN FORTY THREE.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR ALSO WITH
ME HERE TODAY IS VALLEY WHOSE
VIEWS SUCH FROM THE FRESNO I
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND
THEN JERRY SMITH. FROM THE
GERMAN SMITH FROM THE ACT
CALIFORNIA STATE BUILDING
TREATS.
GOOD AFTERNOON I'M VALERIE
BICU SICH THE ADMINISTRATOR
FOR KRYCEK GET AND REGIONAL
OCCUPATIONAL PROGRAMS AT THE
OFFICE OF THE PRESIDENT COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS I AM A
LOCAL SEATED RECIPIENT AS THE
FISCAL AGENT FOR A SEVENTEEN
DISTRICT CONSORTIUM. BUT ALSO
SERVE AS ONE OF THE REGIONAL
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS
OR OUR TAXES WERE CALLED. AND WE
ARE IN PLACE TO SUPPORT
DISTRICTS AS THEY GROW IMPROVE
AND MAINTAIN THEIR LOCAL CT
PROGRAMS.
IT WAS EXPECTED THAT ALL K.
TWELVE DISTRICTS WOULD
PARTICIPATE IN THIS FUNDING
THROUGH THEIR SUBMISSION OF A
PLAN TO ENSURE THEIR SAFETY
PROGRAMS WOULD WORK TOWARDS
ATTAINING THE ELEVEN ELEMENTS OF
A HIGH QUALITY PROGRAM. AND TO
COMMIT TO THEIR DISTRICT MATCHED
REQUEST AMOUNT
APPLICATIONS WERE NOT
COMPETITIVE WITH WINNERS AND
LOSERS AND THE OUR TAPS WORKED
WITH DISTRICTS TO SUBMIT
COMPLETE APPLICATIONS THAT
QUALIFY FOR FUNDING IF THEY WERE
UNSUCCESSFUL. THEIR FIRST
ATTEMPT
AS IN OUR TAP WE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE PROMOTED
VARIETY OF INSTRUCTIONAL
STRATEGIES AVAILABLE TO
DISTRICTS THAT INCLUDES LINK
LEARNING PARTNERSHIP ACADEMIES
MAGNET SCHOOLS. AND OUR APPEASE
TO NAME A FEW OVER THE PAST TWO
YEARS WE'VE DEVELOPED AND
EXPANDED RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
CT STAFF IN OUR REGIONS.
WHAT MAKES US EFFECTIVE IS THAT
ALL OF US HAVE AND CONTINUE TO
RUN CTN ROP PROGRAMS FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS AND WERE ACTUAL
PRACTITIONERS OF WALK THE TALK?
ACCORDING TO CALIFORNIA
EDUCATION CODE EACH SCHOOL
DISTRICT IS CHARGED WITH
PREPARING THEIR STUDENTS FOR
BOTH COLLEGE AND CAREER. AB
SEVENTEEN FORTY THREE WOULD
ENSURE THAT DISTRICTS HAVE THE
RESOURCES TO DO SO ARE ROLLING
QUE TWELVE IS TO HELP STUDENTS
EXPLORE THEIR INTERESTS AND
TALENTS WERE PROVIDING THE
INFORMATION. ABOUT HOW THEY
RELATE TO THE WIDE VARIETY OF
CAREER PATHS AND WITHIN INDUSTRY
SECTORS AND WHERE THEY CAN GO TO
PURSUE THEM FOLLOWING HIGH
SCHOOL GRADUATION. K. TWELVE CT
PROGRAMS INCLUDE THE
PARTICIPATION OF INDUSTRY
PARTNERS AND WE PLACE THOUSANDS
OF STUDENTS IN WORK SITES AS A
COMPONENT OF MANY OF OUR PEOPLE
CLASSES.
IF THE FUNDS BECOME ADMINISTERED
THROUGH SOME COMPETITIVE GRANT
PROCESS ACROSS THE REGION AND
BECOME LIMITED TO A SMALL NUMBER
OF INDUSTRY SECTORS A LOT OF THE
WORK WITH OUR CURRENT INDUSTRY
PARTNERS WILL BE LOST AS THERE
IS NO GUARANTEE THAT HIGH SCHOOL
PROGRAMS. WOULD CONTINUE TO BE
FUNDED AT THE LOCAL LEVEL. IN
CLOSING IF YOU DESIRE TO
MAINTAIN OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STUDENTS AND PROVIDE A
COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM WHILE PREPARING ALL
STUDENTS FOR COLLEGE AND CAREER
READY.
AND HAVING AN IMPACT ON
EMPLOYMENT AND ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT AND MAKING USE OF
EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE.
THEN I ENCOURAGE YOU TO PASS AB

WE HAVE A SUPPORTIVE AMENDED
POSITION WE SUPPORT THE ONGOING
FUNDING FOR CT BUT WOULD
JUST LIKE TO SEE SOME AMENDMENTS
MADE SO THAT. UP PROGRAMS AND
ACTIVITIES SUCH AS LINKED
LEARNING CAN I UTILIZE THIS
FUNDING FOR THAT THE SUPPORT OF
ACTIVITIES THAT THE UTILIZED AS
WELL THANK YOU.
ANY WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
DO MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE HAVE
ANYTHING THAT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR I WILL GO
FILED YOUR WITNESS.
RULES BUT I DO.
WANT TO SAY THAT I'M A PROUD TO
AND AUTHOR OF THIS BILL. I
WON'T.
.
STATE AGAIN THEIR COLLEGE CAREER
PATHWAY BENEFITS WITH MY
COLLEAGUES HAVE SAID TO THEM
VERY CLEARLY.
I WILL SAY THAT WE HAVE HEARD
FROM NUMEROUS.
SUPERINTENDENTS FROM COUNTY
OFFICE OF EDUCATION WHO HAVE
SAID THAT.
NOT ONLY IS RENEWAL IMPORTANT
BUT MAKING SURE THAT. OF THESE
DOLLARS DON'T GET FURTHER
SEPARATED FROM THEIR ABILITY TO
DO THIS WORK AND THEY DON'T WANT
TO HAVE A GREATER DISTANCE IS
CRITICAL. AND.
IF NOTHING ELSE I'D SAY SUPPORT
THIS BILL BECAUSE WHEN ELSE HAS
IN THE BILL UNITED AS MANY
SECTORS AS WE JUST SAW. USUALLY
WHEN.
WELL THANK YOU CAN.
USUALLY IT WHEN THE LINE WRAPS
AROUND IN THIS CHAMBER IS
BECAUSE EVERYONE SAYING I'M
OPPOSED THIS WAS SOMETHING THAT
EVERYONE CAN SAY WE SUPPORT. AND
I GUESS ON A PERSONAL NOTE I'VE
NEVER HAD THE CHAMBER OF
COMMERCE SUPPORT ANY AMOUNT
BILLS.
SO YOU HAVE TO SUPPORT THIS.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR.
IF I WON I WON ALSO.
AUTHORS FOR.
PUTTING TOGETHER THIS BILL BUT.
BUT.
YOU NO I I GUESS MYCONCERN LIES
NOT IN THE BILL ITSELF BUT IN IN
IN THE WHOLE LCF F. SITUATION.
BECAUSE THIS BILL DOES NOT
NECESSARILY PRODUCE ANY NEW
MONEY. IS SHIFTING AROUND OF THE
CURRENT MONEY.
THE PEOPLE NEED TO UNDERSTAND
THAT
THAT DATA NINETY EIGHT IS NINETY
EIGHT IS NINETY EIGHT PROBLEM IT
EIGHT AND SO. I THINK IN THE
ORIGINAL INTENT OF LC A FAST WE
EX WE HAD EXPECTED PEOPLE TO
MAINTAIN. THE SAME EFFORTS IN
THE SAME PROGRAMS THEY HAD
BEFORE.
AND UNFORTUNATELY SCHOOLS DID
NOT DO THAT.
BECAUSE THEY TOOK THE CT MONEY
THAT WAS THERE PUT IT BACK INTO
THE BASE GRANT AND DIDN'T
NECESSARILY FEEL THE NEED TO
FUND. THE CT PROGRAMS.
AND SO I WANT TO SAY THAT
BECAUSE IF FOR SOME STRANGE
REASON.
THE GRANTING PROCESS OF WHATEVER
HAPPENS HERE DOESN'T WORK OUT
THE WAY IT SHOULD AT SOME POINT
WITH FOLKS AFTER A PERIOD OF
TIME. ASISTIR STILL SHOULD HAVE
A COMMITMENT TO CT.
BECAUSE THE MONEY IS STILL
THERE.
AND THE KIDS ARE STILL THERE AND
THE NEED IS STILL THERE.
AND SO I THINK WHEN WE DID THE
GRANT PROCESS SEVERAL YEARS AGO
BEFORE SOME OF YOU WERE HERE. WE
END UP DOING IT BECAUSE SCHOOLS
REMAINED ON DOING THE DISTRICTS
DID NOT DO CT. YET THE MONEY
THAT THE CATEGORICAL FUNDS THAT
HAD BEEN IN CT
WE'RE BASICALLY NOW PUT BACK
INTO EL CFF AND IT'S THE BASS
GRANT.
AND THE ASSUMPTION WAS THAT
THOSE THAT THEY WOULD CONTINUE
IT AND SOME SCHOOLS DID AND SOME
DID NOT.
AND SO AS A RESULT THEY WE
CREATED THIS NEED THAT FOLKS
NEEDED TO BASICALLY DO CT AND WE
CREATED THIS QUIET PROCESS TO
KIND OF HELP KICK OFF THE
SITUATION.
BUT I JUST WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW
THAT THE MONEY IS THERE IN
SHOULD BE THERE IN THE LOCAL AND
IN THE BASS GRANT. AND LCF F. TO
DO C. T. BECAUSE IT WAS THERE
BEFORE THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING
FORMULA AND ALL THAT MONIES PUT
PUT IN. SO OFTEN TIMES WHEN THE
GOVERNOR VETOED THESE BILLS.
HE'S VETOING BECAUSE HE KEEPS
SAYING OVER AND OVER I DON'T
WANT CATEGORICAL WHEELS DID
BEGIN TO COME BACK AGAIN.
BECAUSE THE ALL THAT CATEGORICAL
MONEY WOULD BACK INTO IT SO I
THINK WE HAVE TO MAINTAIN AS
DISTRICTS A COMMITMENT TO SEE T.
E.. BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE OUR
KIDS ARE ALL OF OUR KIDS
SOMEONE A COLLEGE SOMEONE DO IN
CT BUT THAT'S WHAT A WELL
ROUNDED DISTRICT DOES. IN TERMS
OF DEVELOPING COMPREHENSIVE
PROGRAMS FOR ALL KIDS AND SO I
THINK WE DO THIS BUT IF FOR SOME
STRANGE REASON. STUFF DISAPPEARS
A FOR SOME STRANGE REASON THE
GOVERNOR DOESN'T SIGN THIS. WE
AS A STATE AND U. S. DISTRICT
SHOULD STILL HAVE A COMMITMENT
CT.
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU I VERY MUCH MISTER
O'DONNELL AND.
MS BURKE FOR YOUR WORK ON THIS
AND THAT AND BUILDING MOMENTUM.
AROUND THIS ISSUE.

WELL TAKEN AYE BUT I THINK THIS

WORK HAS BEEN REALLY IMPORTANT

THAT I GOTTA GIVE A LITTLE SHOUT
OUT THE PLASTIC COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION I'M REALLY GLAD IT'S
HERE I'VE GONE AND SEEN THE
GREAT WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING ON
THIS FRONT. I CAN'T.
AND A STABLE SOURCE OF FUNDING
IS REALLY REALLY IMPORTANT
NOW I CAN'T RESIST THE
OPPORTUNITY TO CONTINUE MY
LITTLE CRUSADE TO I RETIRE THE
TERM CT AND INSTEAD JUST
START SAYING CAREER EDUCATION.
WHICH I THINK MIGHT BE A LITTLE
MORE FITTING BUT I'VE NOT
WITHSTANDING THAT ACQUITTAL.
