THOUGH FOR THE PAST THIRTY
YEARS I WORK AS A HIGH SCHOOL
COUNSELOR WITH LOS ANGELES

IMPORTANTLY I AM A MOTHER OF
TWO DAUGHTERS AND A GRANDMOTHER
TWO THREE BEAUTIFUL
GRANDCHILDREN. WITH ONE ON THE
WAY MY YOUNGEST DAUGHTER MINDY
AT AGE SIXTEEN. SURVIVOR BEING
SHOT IN A HATE CRIME IT WAS
AUGUST OF NINETEEN NINETY NINE

HAVE LIVED EVERY PARENT'S
NIGHTMARE. I AM HERE TO ASK YOU

RESOLUTION IN JUNE OF NINETEEN
LAST YEAR TO DO JUST THAT AND
HAS ALREADY BEGUN THE
DISTRIBUTION PROCESS. SCHOOL
SAFETY IS OF CRITICAL
IMPORTANCE TO ALL PARENTS

THERE WAS KNOWLEDGE OF THE GUNS
ORIGIN. 80% OF THE SHE SHE'S
THE GUN HERE SHE OBTAINED FROM
THEIR HOME OR FROM THE HOME OF
A RELATIVE. SENDING HOME SAFE

DRILLS AND HAVE EXPERIENCE
LOCKDOWNS IN FACT I JUST GOT A
CALL THIS MORNING THAT THE HIGH
SCHOOL I WORKING WITH UNDER
LOCKDOWN. WE ALSO DO CRISIS
TRAINING FOR FACULTY. PARENTS
NEED TO BE INFORMED AND BE
RESPONSIBLE AS WELL. THIS IS A
PREVENTATIVE MEASURE MUCH LIKE
OTHER PREVENTIVE MEASURES WE
TAKE TO KEEP OUR CHILDREN SAFE
SEAT BELTS AGE RESTRICTIONS ON
CIGARETTE PURCHASES DRIVING AND
TEXTING LOST. WE HAVE BRADY
CALIFORNIA RECOMMENDS THAT THE
SAFE GOING STORAGE INFORMATION
ON CALIFORNIA'S LAWS WHICH IS
THE CAP BE SENT HOME TO ALL
STUDENTS WHO ATTEND PUBLIC AND
CHARTER SCHOOLS PREVENTING
CHILD ACCESS TO FIRE ARMS NOT
ONLY REDUCES THE RISK OF
UNINTENTIONAL AND SUICIDAL
SHOOTINGS IN THE HOME BUT ALSO
PRODUCES THE RISK OF SHOOTING.
AT SCHOOL PLEASE SUMMERS. THIS
INFORMATION WILL BE A SMALL
STEP TOWARD PREVENTING GUN
VIOLENCE IN KEEPING OUR
CHILDREN SAFE WE ARE COUNTING
ON YOU SO FAR MANY SCHOOL
DISTRICTS HAVE PASSES

WITH THE OTHERS WISH TO SPEAK
I'M A STAR. HI SO I'M CURIOUS
IF THE AUTHOR WOULD CONSIDER

IT WOULD BE DIFFICULT TO
DEVELOP ONE STANDARD-
EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENT FOR ALL
GRADE LEVELS AND BECAUSE THIS
IS MEANT TO GO TO ALL PARENTS
FROM KINDERGARTEN ALL THE WAY
UP TO HIGH SCHOOL- I THINK THAT
THAT WOULD BE DIFFICULT IN THIS
CONTEXT I THINK THAT THIS YES
YOU HAVE DEVELOPED SOMETHING
STUDENTS IS A VERY. GOOD ONE-
GETTING THAT STUDENTS COULD
DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO
NECESSARILY IN A CHILD'S
ANOTHER CHILD MAY SHOW UP WITH
THAT- WEAPON WHEN THEY FIND ONE
ON THE PLAYGROUND- BUT I THINK
THAT THAT'S GOING TO BE HAVE TO
BE A LONGER CONVERSATION
BECAUSE GOING TO FOR FREE. FOR
H. LEVELS BUT I APPRECIATE THE
SUGGESTION. THANK THE BILL.
THANK THE BILL HAS BEEN MOVED
AND SECONDED WITH THAT- SEE NO
FURTHER COMES FROM ANY
COMMITTEE MEMBERS YOU MAY CLOSE
I WOULD JUST ADD THAT I DO
THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT THE-
DOCUMENT THAT IT'S PRODUCED AND
I JUST WANNA PUT ON THE RECORD
NOT JUST BE A RESUSCITATION OF
THE LAW BUT TO BE VERY DISTRICT
PARENTS- ALONG WITH THE RISKS
WHAT THE STATISTICS ARE AND
GIVING THEM TIPS AS TO HOW TO.
SECURE A FIREARM BECAUSE YOU'VE

STABILITY FOR HIGHLY MOBILE
YOUTH INCLUDING YOUTH IN FOSTER
CARE HOMELESS NEWCOMER AND
MIGRATORY YOUTH. AND THOSE
MILITARY FAMILIES BY PROVIDING
ADMINISTRATIVE AREAS FROM
IMPACTING THEIR PROGRESS TOWARD

DEAL WITH THE EFFECTS OF TRAUMA
AND LANGUAGE AND ECONOMIC
BARRIERS DALY WHILE NAVIGATING
SCHOOL CHANGES WHICH CAN
NEGATIVELY IMPACT THEIR
ACADEMIC PROGRESS AND SOCIAL
CONNECTIONS AND THEIR
MOTIVATION AND SELF WORTH.
ALLIANCE CLIENTS RACHEL STORY
WILL HELP EXPLAIN WHY AB ONE
FIFTY IS SO IMPORTANT. RACHEL
WAS REMOVED FROM HER PARENTS IN
MIDDLE SCHOOL AND CHANGED HOME
PLACEMENTS IN SCHOOLS SIX TIMES
IN HIGH SCHOOL AS YOUR SOCIAL
WORKER ATTEMPTED TO FIND THE
BEST PLACEMENT FOR HER AND HER
TWO YOUNGER BROTHERS. AT EACH
NEW SCHOOL RACHEL HAD TO LEARN
A NEW SET OF SCHOOL ROUTINE THE
POLICIES MAKE NEW FRIENDS MEET
WITH ADMINISTRATORS AND CATCH
UP ON CLASSES. SHE WAS
EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH
SCHOOL SHE PREVIOUSLY ATTENDED
FAILED TO ISSUE CREDIT FOR THE
WORK SHE COMPLETED IMMENSELY
HADTO START HER CLASSES OVER
AND OVER AGAIN. THE RAILING HER
PROGRESS TOWARD BECOMING A
NURSE. FOR EXAMPLE WHEN SHE HAD
EARNED CREDITS IN ENGLISH NINE
AT A PRIOR SCHOOL ONE SCHOOL
TOLD HER SHE'D HAVE TO START
OVER BECAUSE THE NEW SCHOOL
OFFERED A COURSE CALLED ENGLISH
ONE. AND THEY WOULD NOT
COMBINED HER ENGLISH NINE
CREDITS WITH THE ENGLISH RUN
CREDITS TO GET HER ONE YEAR
COURSE NEEDED FOR GRADUATION.
EVENTUALLY RACIAL WAS FOR REFER
TO OUR ATTORNEYS THROUGH THEIR
ADVOCACY RACHEL WAS ABLE TO
COLLECT ALL OF HER CREDIT AND
HER ATTORNEYS WORKED WITH HER
TO DEVELOP GRADUATION PLAN
WITHOUT THAT ADVOCACY SHOULD
NOT RECEIVE YOUR CREDIT. WILL
NOT ABLE TO ACCUMULATE UNDER
THE STORE GRADUATION AND SHE
COULD. EASE SOMEONE UP 40% NOT
GRADUATE IN FOUR YEARS. I
REALLY APPRECIATE THE DILIGENT
WORK OF THE COMMITTEE STAFF ON
THIS ISSUE. SO IMPORTANT TO
ACADEMIC SASSON ASK YOUR I'LL
GO TO SUPPORT OUR HIGHLY MOBILE
USE IN ACHIEVING THEIR ACADEMIC
GOALS. CREATE ANY OTHER
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT. GOOD

THANK YOU SEE NO COMMENTS MANY
THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS STIR. AS
REGARDS YOU WISH TO COMMENT
YEAH I JUST WE HAVE COURSE
VOTEDON YOUR BILL A COUPLE
YEARS AGO ON THIS THIS BUILDS
UPON IT AND JUST WHAT I KNOW
THAT RIGHT HERE IN SACRAMENTO
AS WE KNOW THE STRONGEST WHEN
OUT THERE TOWARD IT. WE'RE
ABOUT TO LAUNCH THE CALIFORNIA
INDIAN HERE TO CENTER AND SO
THIS IS A- COUPLE HUNDRED
MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT RIGHT
HERE AT THE CONFLUENCE OF TWO
RIVERS AND- RIGHT NOW THAT THE
HERITAGE OF THEY'VE AMERICANS
AND IN CALIFORNIA'S LITERALLY.
KIND OF A TOOL SHED OUTSIDE OF
pTHE DOUBLE MEANING FOR THE FOR
THAT AND SO. I THINK THIS IS
VERY TIGHTLY WHAT WE'RE DOING
HERE IN CALIFORNIA LOOKING AT

BLEND WELL WHAT WE'RE DOING
HERE. RIGHT HERE IN WEST
SACRAMENTO. THANK YOU. I GOT
RIVER YES I WANT TO. I WANT TO
THANK YOU FOR BRINGING THIS
FORWARD AND OBVIOUSLY THIS WILL
MEAN A LOT- JUST IN TERMS OF
CONTEXT UP. IT MAY PRODUCE
CONTROVERSY- WHICH IS ALWAYS
GOOD- BECAUSE WHEN YOU HAVEN'T
HAD KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY
SOMETIMES HISTORY ITSELF.
BECOMES OFFENSIVE TO PEOPLE
BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE DOING. AND I THINK THAT
WAS THE CASE WITH LAST YEAR
WITH THE ETHNIC STUDIES
CURRICULUM. SO IT WASN'T REALLY
THAT THEY WENT AWRY IT'S A
PULSE WE DON'T KNOW WHAT
THEY'RE DEALING WITH DON'T KNOW
WHAT TO EXPECT. AND THAT MAY
HAPPEN WITH THIS WITHOUT HAVING
BEEN IN ETHNIC STUDIES THE LAST

WITH CAMPUSES IN ORANGE AND
SAN. YOU KNOW COUNTIES. WE HAVE
CONSULTED WITH AN AUDIT YES
DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA SPECIFICALLY
EXAMINING THEIR BEHAVIOR
INTERVENTION PRACTICES. DURING
THESE OBSERVATIONS THE
CONSISTENT THEME IS LACK OF
RESOURCES AND TRAINING FOR
THOSE SERVING STUDENTS WITH
BEHAVIORAL AND EMOTIONAL
CHALLENGES. IT IS FOR THIS
REASON WE ARE ASKING THAT YOU

SIXTEEN. AB TWO SIXTEEN
SPECIFICALLY TARGETS THIS GAP

EDUCATORS WHO ARE ABLE TO
PROVIDE PRO ACTIVE
INTERVENTION. USING THE LIKE OF
STUDENT INJURY OR TRAUMA.
DURING THE LAST SIX MONTHS
WE'VE IN OVER A HUNDRED AND
SEVENTY EDUCATORS AND SUPPORT
PERSONNEL AND FOUND THAT WAS A
LOT JUST. SEE IN WHAT OUR
EDUCATORS THINK THING AND WHAT
THEY NEED TO KNOW TO BEST SERVE
THE STUDENTS. THROUGH PRE AND
POST TRAINING SURVEYS AND
COLLECTION ANECDOTAL DATA WE
HAVE FOUND THAT WHILE EDUCATORS
WANT TO LEARN AND HAVE A LARGE-
TO HELP THERE'S- WITH CHECK.
HERE THEY LACK THE TRAINING
RESOURCE TO DO SO FOR EXAMPLE
SALTS. OF THEM FELT THAT THEY
POSSESS THE KNOWLEDGE TO MANAGE
THESE BEHAVIORS IN A SCHOOL
SETTING. FOLLOWING TRAINING
EDUCATOR SHARED THAT THEY WERE
ABLE TO DEVELOP MORE EFFECTIVE
BEHAVIOR INTERVENTION PLANS AND
REDUCE CHALLENGING BEHAVIORS
QUICKLY WITHIN THEIR CLASSROOM.

I'D LIKE TO THANK MY COLLEAGUE
FROM SAN DIEGO FOR BRINGING
THIS MEASURE FORWARD I HAD THE
PRIVILEGE LAST FALL OF VISITING
A NON PUBLIC SCHOOL PRIVATE
PLACEMENT SETTING FOR SOME OF
MY REGION'S MOST CHALLENGED
EMOTIONALLY DISTURBED CHILDREN
AND WHAT WAS AN IMPRESSIVE TO
ME IS THE EXTENT TO WHICH THE
STAFF WAS REALLY EMBRACING NOT
ONLY THE LATEST IN RESEARCH
DEVELOP TECHNIQUES BUT ACTUALLY
EMPLOYED THEIR OWN RESEARCHERS
IN THE FIELD OF BOTH
KINESIOLOGY AND ENGINEERING
FIRMS OF DEVELOPING SAFE
PHYSICAL RE DIRECTION- AND THEN
HAD COMPLETELY REVAMPED.
CONCEPT OF COLLUSION IT REALLY
CAME MORE ABOUT TEACHING AN
EMPOWERING THESE CHILDREN WITH
THE TECHNIQUES TO LEARN TO DE
ESCALATE THEMSELVES AND I THINK
THEY'RE REALLY ULTIMATELY AS
EDUCATORS THAT'S WHAT ALL IS
FOR ALL OF US SO I THINK VERY
MUCH IS VERY THE MEASUREMENT
