TO DEVELOPING A POLICY FRAMEWORK
FOR CSU AND COMMUNITY COLLEGE
PARTNERSHIPS THAT WOULD EXTEND
THE TEACHER CREDENTIALING
PROGRAMS IN TEACHER PREPARATION
AND RURAL COMMUNITIES.
AS YOU'RE AWARE THERE ARE A
NUMBER OF EXISTING CSU AND
COMMUNITY COLLEGE PARTNERSHIPS
THAT PROVIDE PATHWAYS FOR
TEACHER EDUCATION.
I AND THE INTO TEACHING CAREERS
BUT THEY ARE ALL IN LOCATIONS
WHERE THERE IS A A CS YOU. FOR
PRIVATE INSTITUTION AND A
COMMITTEE COLLEGE IN CLOSE
PROXIMITY.

THE FRAMEWORK IS SOMETHING THAT
WE CAN WORK WITH.
AND WE DO A LOOK FORWARD TO
WORKING WITH YOU AND AT THE
AUTHOR --
AND REACHING UP --
VERSION THAT WE CAN SUPPORT
THANK YOU.
HELLO MY NAME IS CHRIS IN THE
HEAD CENTERS ON BEHALF OF THOSE
AT NUMBER IF LIKE ME BECAUSE
THEY'VE CALIFORNIA --
PLEDGES FOR NOT COMING IN
EARLIER BUT WE ARE ARE HERE IN

THINKING.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
THE COMMITTEE [inaudible]
JOBS.
YEAH AND I REALLY THINK THE AREA
MAKE --
CENTER DODD GRANT FOR BECAUSE
THE TEACHER SHORTAGES SERIOUS WE
KNOW PROBABLY WHEN BETTER THINGS
WE NEED TO DO IS.
ONE INCREASE OUR IMAGE OF THEM
BUT ALSO TO PAY SO FOODS ARE
GOING THAT DIRECTION.
BUT IN A MATTRESS IN THIS
PROGRAM NIGHT BECAUSE WE HAD
STARTED A FEW YEARS AGO.
WITH THE A BA IS A COMMUNICABLE
INCH.
AND WHAT WE FOUND THAT DUE TO
SOME QUEUE MANY COLLEGES DOING
REALLY WELL WITH THAT SOME.
DON'T HAVE A LOT OF PEOPLE APPLY
AND IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA.
WITH ANY COMMUNICABLE ADJUST IT
TOOK ONTHAT REQUIREMENT TO GIVE
WOULD BE A THERE WERE SEVERAL
YES.
YOU KNOW WHAT'S BEEN THE RESULT
OF THEM.
MY MY UNDERSTANDING IS --
WHERE THE --
THERE'VE BEEN --
BA'S THAT --
DISTRICTS OF TAKING ON THEY'VE
GENERALLY BEEN SUCCESSFUL --
I THINK WE HAD OUR FIRST A GROUP
OF GRADUATING CLASSES JUST THIS
PAST --
SPRING --
THERE WAS A LOT OF I KNOW THERE
WAS A LOT OF MEDIA COVERAGE OF
THOSE.
AND AND THOSE PROGRAMS HAVE
DEFINITELY BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
WHEN I SAW BEFORE THAT SOME OF
THEM IN THE NORTH WERE NOT
SUCCESSFUL AT LEAST THE NUMBERS
WHEN?
IT FALLS FAR AS INVESTMENT.
SO WHAT AS THIS BILL GOES
FORWARD MAYBE THERE SHOULD BE
SOME BENCHMARKS IN STANDARD SAY
THAT.
THERE'S ACTUALLY A MARKET FOR
THIS YOU KNOW WE'RE GOING
PROVIDE THIS.
YOU KNOW BUT I THINK IT'S A GOOD
IDEA TO TRY IT'S A PILOT PROGRAM --
CALIFORNIA'S LARGE STATE ONE
SIZE DOESN'T FIT ALL.
AND HAVE A GREAT RESPECT FOR THE
DOCTOR ARE YOU SO IF HE'S.
TRYING TO DO THIS OUT THERE YOU
KNOW.
GIVEN THE CHANCE TO DO IT BUT I
THINK.
MAYBE IN A MEMBERS LOOK AT SOME
WAYS IS ACTUALLY.
IS A MAKE IN A SENSE FOR THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE BUT SO MUCH
RESOURCE INTO SOMETHING THAT.
MAY HAVE YOU KNOW NOBODY WANTS
TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT.

THIS SORT OF BASIS FOR THE

UNIVERSITY CALIFORNIA IS
ENCOURAGED TO MEET THE SAME
RATIO AS BE NINE SIXTY EIGHT
HOPES TO REMEDY THE GENERAL LACK
OF CONSISTENT REPORTING
THROUGHOUT THE SYSTEM THE MENTAL
HEALTH NEEDS BY REQUIRING EACH
CAMPUS REPORT THE LEGISLATURE
EVERY THREE YEARS.
THROUGH THE USE OF A SURVEY AND
REPORT ANNUAL ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
DATA WINNER STAND THAT THE BOARD
BEHAVIOR SCIENCES WOULD LIKE TO
COUNT ASSOCIATES AND TRAINEES
TOWARD THE RATIO.
ALSO LIKE TO NOTE THAT S. B.
NINE SIXTY EIGHT DOES NOT LIMIT
THE CS USE ABILITY TO LIMIT PAID
OR UNPAID ASSOCIATES ARE
TRAINEES THIS BILL ONLY SET THE
MANY M. A MINIMUM RATIO FOR
LICENSED MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELORS.
MIGHT AS MENTAL HEALTH
COUNSELORS ALSO ALREADY HAVE A

WOULD BE CONCERNED THAT BY
ADDING ASSOCIATES TRAINEES THE
CAMPUS IS WOULD BRING THEM.
ON IS EITHER CHEAPER LABOR FREE

[inaudible]
GOOD AFTER.
GOOD AFTERNOON CHAIR MEDINA AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON
HIGHER EDUCATION I'M DOCTOR MIMI
BOMBER SPOCK I'M A CLINICAL
PSYCHOLOGIST FROM CHICO STATE
UNIVERSITY.
AND I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA FACULTY ASSOCIATION.
COUNSELING CENTERS IN THE CSU
ARE CHRONICALLY UNDERSTAFFED WE
NEED S. B. NINE SIXTY EIGHT TO
ENSURE OUR STUDENTS ARE SAFE AND
ARE STAYING ON TRACK TO GRADUATE.
ANXIETY AND DEPRESSION ARE
RAMPANT AND INCREASING AMONG
COLLEGE STUDENTS BOTH HERE IN
CALIFORNIA AND ACROSS THE NATION.
STUDIES SHOW THAT THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS SEEKING A MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES IS
UP 30%.
MANY STUDENTS PRESENT IN CRISIS
UNABLE TO FUNCTION AND WE CAN
AND MUST DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS.
S. B. NINE SIXTY EIGHT IS ABOUT
ADEQUATE STUDENT COUNCIL RATIOS.
THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
COUNSELING SERVICES THE
ACCREDITING BODY FOR COLLEGE
COUNSELING CENTERS RECOMMENDS A
MINIMUM OF ONE COUNSELOR
410-002-1500 STUDENTS THAT'S A
MINIMUM.
YET IN THE CSU ON SEVERAL CAMPUS
WE HAVE ONE CANCER 430-002-4000
STUDENTS.
THIS UNDER STAFFING IS REAL AND
IT IS DANGEROUS. SEVEN SUICIDES
OCCURRED ON ONE OF THESE
UNDERSTAFFED CAMPUSES DURING THE
PAST WINTER QUARTER.
TREATMENT IS EFFECTIVE YET
COUNSELORS IN THE CSU ARE
STRUGGLING TO BE SURE STUDENTS
ARE GETTING THE TREATMENT THEY
NEED.
HIGH RISK STUDENTS ARE
PRIORITIZED BUT THAT LEAVES MANY
WAITING FOR HELP.
STUDENTS WAIT WEEKS AND
SOMETIMES MONTHS FOR TREATMENT
AND BY THEN STUDENTS TELL US
IT'S OFTEN TOO LATE.
I AM VERY TROUBLED BY THE
STORIES FROM STUDENTS I MET AND
THE CAMPUSES AND DURING RECENT
VISITS AND THEY ARE IMPLORING US
DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS PROBLEM.
I'M SPEAKING ON BEHALF OF THOSE
STUDENTS.
IGNORING THE STUDENT MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS MUST STOP WE MUST
MEET MINIMUM STAFFING RATIOS
RECOMMENDED BY EXPERTS.
WE CAN NO LONGER CONTINUE TO
SHORT CHANGE STUDENTS WITH
MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS WE KNOW FROM
RESEARCH THAT PROVIDING ADEQUATE
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES PAYS FOR
ITSELF.
WE KNOW THAT COUNSELING LOWERS
DROPOUT RATES ENHANCES
GRADUATION RATES AND CONTRIBUTES
TO THE FINANCIAL WELL BEING OF
FAMILIES IN CALIFORNIA AND
BEYOND.
I URGE AWAY THE REAL COSTS OF
IGNORING SUCH AN OBVIOUS
SOLUTION MANAGEABLE AND SAFE
COUNSELOR TO STUDENT STAFFING
RATIOS I THANK YOU FOR YOUR
SUPPORT OF SB.
NINE SIXTY EIGHT GOOD AFTERNOON --
COMMITTEE CHAIR MEDINA AND
MEMBERS MY NAME IS GEORGE RUSSO --
THE ASSISTANT EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
FOR THE CAL STATE SENATE SOCIO
XIN.
I'M WE'RE THANKFUL FOR SENATOR
PANS CFA.
AND LEADERSHIP ON THIS IMPORTANT
ISSUE.
SINCE THEN THE CAL STATE SYSTEM
HAVE A HOST OF ISSUES THAT
THEY'RE DEALING WITH RIGHT NOW
HOMELESSNESS FOOD INSECURITY --
AND THE POLITICAL CLIMATE AND
THIS COURSE HAVE CREATED AND A
NUMBER OF ENVIRONMENTAL
CHALLENGES FOR STUDENTS MENTAL
HEALTH --
THAT ISN'T NOW CONSTANTLY BEING
CHALLENGED.
IN FACT THE ISSUE OF MENTAL
HEALTH RESOURCES ON OUR CAMPUSES
HAS BECOME THE NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY OF OUR STUDENTS IN THE
CSU.
EACH YEAR CSSA --
CREATES A POLICY AGENDA TO GUIDE
OUR STUDENTS WORK FOR THE YEAR
THIS YEAR THOSE FOR POLICY
PRIORITIES WERE MENTAL HEALTH.
AFFORDABILITY SAFE INCLUSIVE
ENVIRONMENTS AND EQUITY IN
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT --
AZERSUN LEADERS WERE CONSULTING
WITH THE ASSISTANCE AT LARGE
THEY FOUND THAT THE NUMBER ONE
PRIORITY THE ISSUE THAT OUR
STUDENTS CARED MOST ABOUT WAS
MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES ON
CAMPUSES MORE SO THAN
AFFORDABILITY.
MORE SO THAN ANY OTHER ISSUE.
AND IT'S EASY TO UNDERSTAND WHY
THIS IS BECOME SUCH A PRESSING
ISSUE ON OUR CAMPUSES JUST UNDER
HALF OF OUR TWENTY THREE CSU
CAMPUSES HAVE A MENTAL HEALTH.
COUNSELOR TO STUDENT RATIO THAT
IS -- NEAR
OR BELOW THE PROPOSED RATIO IN
S. B. NINE SIXTY EIGHT SMITH ON
A MAJORITY A CAMPUS IS STUDENTS
ARE REPORTING SIGNIFICANT WAIT
TIMES TO SEE A COUNSELOR.
SOMETIMES UP TO A MONTH AND CAPS
ON HOW MANY TIMES THEY CAN SEE A
COUNSELOR AND YEAR SOMETIMES AS
LOW AS FIVE TIMES PER YEAR --
THAT'S WHY PASSING S. B. NINE
SUCCEEDED SO CRUCIAL IN A
STUDENT CAN ACKNOWLEDGE OUR NEED
FOR MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES THEY
SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WAIT NEARLY A
MONTH. TO SEE SOMEONE ESPECIALLY
GIVEN THE FACT THAT MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES CAN PRESENT REAL
IMMEDIATE SAFETY CHALLENGES FOR
STUDENTS IN THE STUDENTS AROUND
THEM --
ADDITIONALLY ON ALL CAMPUSES TO
INFUSE ARE BEING USED TO PAY FOR
THESE MENTAL HEALTH RESOURCES
THIS MEANS THAT THE MOST OBVIOUS
WAY TO EXPAND MENTAL HEALTH
RESOURCES ON CAMPUSES ARE TO
INCREASE.
I'M STUDENT CAMPUS BASED FEES --
THIS ONLY COMPOUNDS THE CYCLE OF
AFFORDABILITY AND MENTAL HEALTH
CHALLENGES THEIR STUDENTS ARE
FACING.
AND AS OUR SINS ARE STRUGGLING
WITH SO MANY BASIC AYE NEEDS
ISSUES AS WELL AS THE OVERALL
COST TO ATTEND.
I EXACERBATING WINE ISSUE --
BY INCREASING BY INCREASING
CAMPUS SPACE VIEWS TO SOLVE
ANOTHER ONE IS NOT AN ISSUE AT
ALL OR IS NOT A SOLUTION AT ALL.

URGE YOUR SUPPORT.

APPROPRIATE.
THIS BILL IS CONSISTENT WITH
RECOMMENDATIONS BY THE SENATE
OFFICE RESEARCH WIND WHICH
IDENTIFIED IN A TWENTY TWELVE
REPORT THAT THERE WAS A LACK OF
INFORMATION A CLINICAL TRAINING
SUPPORTS.
THOSE FURTHER RECOMMEND THAT THE
LEGISLATURE LEAD THE CHARGE AND
ESTABLISHING A MEANS TO COLLECT
CLINICAL PLACEMENT DATA AND
EVALUATE SUPPLY AND DEMAND OF
CLINICAL TRAINING PROGRAMS.
CURRENTLY PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS
HAVE ROUGHLY 70% OF THE MARKET
SHARE FOR PROGRAMS WHICH ARE
DIRECTLY DEPENDENT A CLINICAL
PLACEMENT WITH PROVIDERS.
THERE'S A COMPELLING PUBLIC
INTEREST TO KNOW IF THERE'S A
FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT AS
ADVANTAGE IN PRIVATE
INSTITUTIONS OVER A COMMUNITY
COLLEGE PROGRAMS.
WITHOUT ADEQUATE DATA
EFFECTIVELY ALIGNED EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAMS CLINICAL TRAINING SITES
ARE PROJECTED ALLIED HEALTH CARE
WORKFORCE DEMANDS OF SHORTAGES
CALIFORNIA SYSTEM OF HIGHER
EDUCATION WILL BE UNABLE TO MEET.
IT'S FUTURE HEALTH CARE
WORKFORCE NEED THE STATE.
S. B. THIRTEEN FORTY EIGHT WERE
AT SPECIFIED DATA TO EXISTING
REPORTS PROVIDE THE POLICY
MAKERS AND THE PUBLIC BY
COMMITTEE COLLEGES AND PRIVATE
COLLEGES SPOTS A BOWL FOR ALLIED
HEALTH PROFESSIONALS EDUCATION.
I BET WITH THE OPPOSITION AND
THE SPONSORS I CONTINUE WORK OF
THE CHANCELLOR'S OFFICE AND THE
BUREAU OF PUBLIC IN POST
SECONDARY EDUCATION TO ENSURE
THAT THE REPORTING IS THAT.
AYE TO A ONEROUS COOPER STILL
PROVIDING IMPORTANT INFORMATION

ASSOCIATING.
SHOULD OF CALIFORNIA AND THEY
CAN REALLY ROSA BROKE FROM THE
S. YEAH YOU TO ANSWER ANY
TECHNICAL QUESTIONS.
THANK YOU AWARE HOW TO BE HERE
ON BEHALF OF THE WORKERS ON THIS
IS A GOOD STRONG MIDDLE CLASS
FIELD AND YET DESPITE THAT WE
ARE SEEING A WORKFORCE SHORTAGE
THAT IS GROWING A DRAMATIC READ --
WE THINK THAT THIS INFORMATION
IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO GATHER IS
THAT WE CAN MAKE INFORMED NEXT
STEPS HERE AT THE LEGISLATURE
AND HOW TO GROW THOSE --
ESPECIALLY BETWEEN THE COLLEGE
LEVEL WHERE IT'S CONSISTENT WITH
A STRONG WORKFORCE PROGRAM --
WE ARE BEING COGNITIVE OF THE
OPPOSITION AND THOSE ALSO OF OUR
AFFILIATES IN SUPPORT BECAUSE IN
ONE FOR THE STREAMLINED WILL
ALSO BE HELPFUL TO US IN
PROVIDING A SOLUTION TO ADDRESS
THE SHORTAGE.
THINK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS JONATHAN LIGHTMAN IN
BEHALF OF THE FACULTY
ASSOCIATION CALIFORNIA COMMUNITY
COLLEGE IS THE CO SPONSOR OF S.
B..
THIRTEEN FORTY EIGHT SO WE SEE
THREE MAJOR --
ARGUMENTS FOR THE BILL FIRST.
IT ALLOWS COLLEGES TO LEARN FROM
ONE ANOTHER WOULD IT'S WORKING
AT THE PLACEMENT SLOTS AND
PROVIDE THEM WITH IDEAS ON
HEALTH FACILITIES WHERE STUDENTS
CAN BE PLACED.
SECONDS AND CONSISTENT WITH THE
SENATE OFFICE OF RESEARCH STUDY
THE DOCTOR PAN REFERENCE THAT
GIVES YOU THE LAWMAKERS.
BETTER INSIGHTS INTO WHAT'S
HAPPENING ALLOWING YOU TO MAKE
INFORMED POLICY DECISIONS MOVING
FORWARD.
AND FINALLY IT GIVES US A BETTER
SENSE OF HOW COMMUNITY COLLEGE
STUDENTS ARE FARING IN THESE
PLACEMENTS LOTS.
AS LARGEST PUBLIC SYSTEM OF
HIGHER EDUCATION THAT'S
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT.
SO WE'VE INVESTED A LOT OF TIME
AND RESOURCES ON DEVELOPING THE
STRONG WORKFORCE INITIATIVE AND
INCIDENTALLY THE THEY ACTUALLY
THAT WERE TOUGH THAT HAPPENED
HERE IN THIS COMMITTEE.
AND IT'S CRITICAL THAT WE HAVE A
GOOD SENSE OF WHAT'S HAPPENING
WITH OUR STUDENTS IN THESE HIGH
DEMAND AREAS LIKE.
ALLIED HEALTH I'M HAPPY TO
ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ANY OTHER WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT.
RIGHT NOW WITH CALIFORNIA
FEDERATION OF TEACHERS WERE IN
STRONG SUPPORT.
ANY WITNESSES IN.
ALRIGHT GO AHEAD ADJUSTING
TELECOM AFTER THE CALIFORNIA
COMMUNITY COLLEGES CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE AND WE DON'T HAVE AN
OFFICIAL POSITION ON THE BILL WE
ARE SUPPORTIVE OF THE INTENT
WE'VE HEARD.
ANECDOTALLY FROM COLLEGES ABOUT
THIS ISSUE OF DIFFICULTIES WITH
CLINICAL PLACEMENTS.
WE THINK THIS BILL GO FORWARD
THAT THE QUANTIFY THE PROBLEM WE
CAN.
FIND SOLUTIONS TO AND WILL
CONTINUE WORKING ON AMENDMENTS
AROUND THE REPORTING
REQUIREMENTS [inaudible]
THANK YOU [inaudible]
TWEETERS [inaudible]
OPPOSITION.
MISTER CHAIRMAN MAP BACK
REPRESENTING CAPS WHICH IS THE
CALIFORNIA ASSOCIATION OF
PRIVATE POST SECONDARY SCHOOLS
HAVE.
BEEN BEFORE THIS COMMITTEE
BEFORE BUT JUST AS A REMINDER WE
REPRESENT ABOUT TWO HUNDRED
INSTITUTIONS THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA.
A WE HAVE MEMBERS IN ALL OF YOUR
DISTRICTS.
I'M SO AND FORCING WE ARE
OPPOSED TO THE BILL WE'VE WE'VE
SPOKEN TO THE SENATOR --
ONE WE THINK IT'S DUPLICATIVE
AND THERE'S A LOT OF THIS
INFORMATION THAT'S REQUIRED IN
THIS FORM THAT WE ALREADY
PROVIDE.
A BOW TO THE STATE TO THE
FEDERAL GOVERNMENT AND TO OUR
STUDENTS --
BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY WHAT I'VE
I'VE HANDED OUT TO YOU IS A
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE FACT SHEET
TEMPLATE PROVIDED BY THE BUREAU.
AS YOU SEE THERE'S NINE PAGES
THERE THIS IS THE FORM THAT WE
HAVE TO PROVIDE.
I'M AND YOU'LL SEE THAT THERE'S
TWO YEARS OF DATA.
THE GRADUATION RATE THERE'S
DEFAULT RATE --
PERCENTAGE OF BORROWERS THIS IS
ALL VERY SPECIFIED INFORMATION
THAT A SCHOOL CAN USE TO
DETERMINE IF I WANT TO GO TO
SCHOOL A YEAR BE.
A THIS WAS MANDATED BY THE
LEGISLATURE AND RECENTLY THE
REGULATIONS WERE FORMALIZED BY
THE BUREAU.
SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO ADD TO
THIS NINE TO TWELVE PAGE
DOCUMENT A NUMBER OF THINGS
WE'RE GONNA PROVIDE A LIST OF
ALL OF OUR CLINICAL SITES.
WE TEACH ANYWHERE FROM FIFTY TO
A HUNDRED DIFFERENT PROGRAMS
SOME OF THESE ARE INDIVIDUAL
CLINICAL SITES WHERE A MEDICAL
ASSISTANT STUDENT WILL GO TO
DOCTOR PANTS OFFICE AND LEARN
HOW TO BE A MEDICAL ASSISTANCE
DID.
IT'S NOT A TEAM OF TEN DOCTORS
GOING TO A HOSPITAL IT'S ONE ON
ONE EDUCATION AND CLINICAL
TRAINING.
SO WE HAVE HUNDREDS OF CLINICAL
SITES ONE INSTITUTION CAN HAVE
HUNDREDS OF CLINICAL SITES.
SO THIS NINE PAGE DOCUMENT AT
BEST THAT WE'RE GONNA GIVE TO
STUDENTS IS GONNA HAVE A LIST OF
DOZENS IF NOT HUNDREDS OF SITES.
WE ALSO CONDEMN GOING TO PROVIDE
THE LENGTH AND TYPES OF CLINICAL
ROTATIONS WE PROVIDE THAT IN OUR
CATALOG TODAY IF A STUDENT WANTS
IT.
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO PROVIDE THE
SUPERVISION RATIO AT EACH SITE I
DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH THAT'S GOING
TO ADD TO THE DOCUMENT BUT IT'S
GOING TO ADD TO THE DOCTOR.
WE'RE THEN GOING TO PROVIDE
DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION ABOUT
ALL OF OUR STUDENTS IN THAT
PROGRAM WE PROVIDE DEMOGRAPHIC
INFORMATION TO DAY TO THE BUREAU
AND ALSO TO THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT THROUGH IPADS.
ALL DISCLOSED ALL PUBLIC
INFORMATION.
WE ARE THEN ALSO GOING TO JUST
TO HAVE --
TO REPORT OUR EMPLOYMENT
RETENTION AS THE FORM YOU SEE
THEIR SHOWS WE HAVE TO REPORT.
JOB PLACEMENT TODAY BUT WE'RE
GONNA HAVE TO PUT ADDITIONAL
SECTIONS IN THIS FORM.
WE'RE ALSO GONNA HAVE TO TALK
ABOUT WHETHER WE DONATE MONEY TO
THE SCHOOL TO GET PLACEMENT
SITES WHICH IS OFFENSIVE WE DO
NOT BRIBE THESE PLACES TO GET
CLINICAL SLOTS.
SO THIS NINE TO TEN PAGE
DOCUMENT THAT YOU'RE LOOKING IN
FRONT OF YOU IS GOING TO TURN
INTO A THIRTY TO FORTY TO FIFTY
PAGE DOCUMENT.
THAT IS ON TOP OF OUR CATALOG
THAT IS ON TOP OF OUR THIRTY TO
FORTY PAGE ROAMING AGREEMENT
THAT IS ON TOP OF AYE OUR IPAD
STATED THAT IS ON TOP OF THE
SHOPPING SHE THIS IS.
A MORTGAGE DOCUMENT FOLKS WE
HAVE NOW.
LEGISLATED AND REGULATED A
MORTGAGE DOCUMENT FOR A STUDENT
TO PICK A SCHOOL.
SO I THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATE.
AGAIN MOST OF THIS DATA IS HERE.
AND THIS IS THE LAST POLICY
COMMITTEE THAT THIS BILL IS
GOING TO GO BEFORE.
A AS YOU SEE IN THE FORM BEFORE
YOU IT'S TWO YEARS OF DATA THAT
WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THIS BILL IS
COMPLETELY SILENT ON HOW MANY
YEARS OF DATA WE HAVE TO PROVIDE
OF DO WE HAVE TO PROVIDE THE TWO
YEARS OF DATA THAT THE CURRENT
SCHOOL.
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE FACT SHEET
MANDATES.
DO A REPORT LAST YEAR'S COHORT
DO A REPORT ALL THAT THE
CLINICAL SITES THAT WE HAVE
CONTRACTS WITH.
ALL OF THESE IN ALL OF THESE
DETAILS ARE NOT OUTLINED IN THE
BILL AGAIN THIS IS THE LAST
POLICY COMMITTEE THIS BILL IS
GOING BEFORE.
SOME OF THE ASSERTIONS AND THAT
AND THE CLAIMS THAT THE
PROPONENTS WANT FROM THE BILL
THIS IS GOING TO STUDENTS.
THIS ISN'T A STUDY THAT'S GOING
TO THE LEGISLATURE FOR YOU
WALDRON TO COLLECT THAT DATA AND
MAKE DECISIONS ABOUT OUR
CLINICAL SITES THIS IS NOT A
STUDY BILL.
THIS IS REAL LIFE WHAT OUR
SCHOOLS ARE GONNA HAVE TO ADOPT
IT IS EXPENSIVE.
I WOULD ARGUE IT IS DUPLICATIVE
AND AT THE END OF THE DAY ARE
STUDENTS ARE NOT ASKING FOR THIS
INFORMATION.
BECAUSE WHAT WE'RE REPORT TWO
YEARS OUR CLINICAL SITE FROM TWO
YEARS AGO THAT WOULD HAVE TO PUT
IN THIS REPORT IS NOT THE
CLINICAL SITE THAT A STUDENT
THAT IS APPLYING TO DAY IS GOING
TO GO.
TO SO IT'S NOT EVEN THE SAME
CLINICAL SITE.
THAT THE STUDENTS GOING TO
ATTEND A YEAR TO TWO YEARS DOWN
THE ROAD WHEN THEY GET TO THAT
PLACE IN THEIR EDUCATION SO. FOR
ALL OF THESE REASONS WE HAVE TO
OPPOSE THE BILL AND AGAIN THIS
IS THE LAST STOP FOR THIS BILL
AND THERE'S A LOT OF UNANSWERED.
AND I WOULD I WOULD JUST REMIND
THE NEXT WITNESS THAT WE SAID
TWO MINUTES TO WITNESSES AND I
THINK HE WENT OVER FOUR MINUTES
AGO.
IF YOU COULD MAKE IT BRIEF.
THANK YOU JENNIFER TARA HELL
WITH AARON READ AND ASSOCIATES
ON BEHALF OF AMERICAN CAREER
COLLEGE AND WEST COAST
UNIVERSITY.
AMERICAN CREW COLLEGE OPERATING
SINCE NINETEEN SEVENTY EIGHT
WEST COAST UNIVERSITY OPERATING
SINCE NINETEEN OH NINE HAVE AN
EXCELLENT REPUTATION FOR
PROVIDING TOP NOTCH.
HEALTHCARE CAREER EDUCATION TO
STUDENTS THROUGHOUT LA THE
INLAND EMPIRE AND ORANGE COUNTY.
SB THIRTEEN FORTY EIGHT IT'S
CONCERNING TO OUR SCHOOL
SPECIFICALLY FOR SEVERAL REASONS
FIRST OUR SCHOOLS DON'T PAY
HOSPITALS TO PLACE STUDENTS IN
THE CLINICAL INTERNSHIPS NEEDED
FOR LICENSURE.
THE CONTRACT SCHOOLS HAVE WITH
HOSPITALS FOR CLINICAL
PLACEMENTS ARE NOT EXCLUSIVE AND
HOSPITALS ARE NOT AS LIMITED AS
TO WHICH SCHOOLS THEY CAN
CONTRACT WITH.
SECOND LICENSING BOARDS AND AND
APPROVAL OF SCHOOLS PROGRAMS.
DID THAT ENSURES THAT STUDENTS
RECEIVE THE CLINICAL HOURS
REQUIRED TO LICENSING EXAMS.
REQUIRING SCHOOLS TO REPORT
CLINICAL PLACEMENT DATA IN THE
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE FACTSHEET AS
MATT MENTIONED DOES NOT PROVIDE
BETTER OUTCOMES BUT WILL REQUIRE
US TO HIRE ADDITIONAL
ADMINISTRATIVE STAFF. TO PRODUCE
THE DATA CALLED FOR IN THE BILL
THIS DATA WILL BE OUTDATED AS
SOON AS IT'S REPORTED.
OUR SCHOOLS HAVE HUNDREDS OF
CLINICAL PARTNERS AND CLINICAL
PLACEMENTS CONTINUALLY CHANGE
THAT CAN'T BE STRESSED ENOUGH.
THAT THAT PLACEMENTS TO BE
REPORTED ON THE FACT SHEET WILL
NOT REFLECT THE CLINICAL
PLACEMENTS OF POTENTIAL STUDENTS
RECEIVE. ONE SET STUDENT HAS
MADE IT TO THE POINT IN THE
PROGRAM WHERE THEY'RE ACTUALLY
GONNA PARTICIPATE IN CLINICAL
PLACEMENT AND NEXT TO BE PP
RECENTLY FINISHED RAGS ON
THIS.
IT SCHOOL PERFORMANCE FACTUALLY
AS MATT HAD MENTIONED SO I WON'T
GO OVER THAT AGAIN.
I'M BUT THERE ARE WAYS TO
RELIEVE PRESSURE ON CLINICAL
PLACEMENTS AND I THINK THAT'S
WHERE A LOT OF THIS IS STEMMING
FROM.
YES THAT THE INDUSTRY THERE'S A
A CALL FOR MORE AND
PROFESSIONALS ENTERING THE
WORKFORCE AND AND THERE'S A
PRESSURE FOR THESE CLINICAL
PLACEMENTS AND WE WELCOME A
DISCUSSION AN OPPORTUNITY TO
TALK ABOUT.
A MORE CLINICAL PLACEMENTS AND
HOW TO RELIEVE PRESSURE FOR
THOSE AND THAT THIS BILL IS NOT
THE WAY TO GO IT WOULD JUST
CREATED ADMINISTRATIVE BURDEN
AND I THINK YOU FOR YOUR TIME
TODAY.
YEAH I GIVE UP.
OTHER WITNESSES IN OPPOSITION.
ANY TWEENER WHO'S.
ANY QUESTIONS OR COMMENTS FROM
THE COMMITTEE.
SENATOR PAN IF YOU'D LIKE TO
CLOSE.
NO THANK YOU SO MUCH --
NO LIGHTS I APPRECIATE --
THE CONVERSATIONS I HAD WITH THE
OPPOSITION I WOULD POINT OUT IS
THE HEALTH PROFESSION MYSELF AND
SOMEONE WHO SERVED ON A TRADING
BODY NOT ONLY FOR VISION BUT
ALSO FOR ALLIED HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS THAT.
ARE --
CLINICAL TRAINING IS ESSENTIAL
PART OF THE EDUCATION OF AN
ALLIED HEALTH FOR NOTE THAT --
THAT.
SCHOOL THAT IS PROVIDING
CLINICAL TRAINING BECAUSE TALK
ABOUT THE BURDEN OF GATHERING
INFORMATION I SURE HOPE THEY
WOULD KNOW WHERE THAT OUR
STUDENTS ARE GAINED A TRAINING
IN THE QUALITY OF THE TRAINING
THAT'S TAKING PLACE IN THE
CLINICAL SITES.
THEY DON'T HAVE THAT INFORMATION
READILY AT HAND I'D BE VERY
CONCERNED ABOUT THAT.
ARE IN FACT --
I'D A SOMEONE WHO SERVED ON THE
GRADING BODY --
AS IT WAS MENTIONED THEY ALSO
FEEL THAT INFORMATION SHOULD
ALSO BE RELIEVED BAILABLE AT
THEIR FINGERTIPS WHEN
ACCREDITING BODY ASKS ABOUT AS
WELL SO.
SO I END.
LITTLE CONCERN ABOUT.
ABOUT BUT THAT PART OF THE
TESTIMONY BUT I WOULD I WOULD
JUST SAY IS THAT IT IS IMPORTANT
FOR US AGAIN AS I SAID BEGINNING
THAT.
THIS INFORMATION IS IMPORTANT
FOR STUDENTS KNOW THE QUALITY
EDUCATION BUT ALSO IMPORTANT FOR
US AND YOU HEARD FROM --
THE COMMITTEE COLLEGES AS WELL
FROM BOTH FACULTY ADMINISTRATION
THAT THEY'VE THAT THAT THIS IS
GOING TO BE IMPORTANT FOR THEM
AS WELL TO HELP US BE SURE WE
HAVE THE STATE CONVENE FORWARD
AND AND PROVIDE THE WORKFORCE
SUPPLY THAT WE NEED. TO TAKE
CARE OF THE PEOPLE OF CALIFORNIA
PROFESSIONS AND SO AYE URGENT
AYE BUT THANK YOU.

ASSEMBLY MEMBER ACOSTA FOR
SENATOR BERRYHILL.
FILE ITEM.
TO WELCOME MISTER COST THANK YOU.
CHAIR MEDINA AND MEMBERS.
TODAY'S PRINT THE PRINCIPLE
COOPER I HAVE THE HONOR OF
PRESENTING SB NINE SIXTY SEVEN
ON BEHALF OF SENATOR BERRYHILL
WHO COULD NOT BE HERE TODAY.
ABOUT THIS LEGISLATION SEEKS TO
ELIMINATE ONE OF THE PRIMARY
BARRIERS TO HIGHER EDUCATION FOR
OUR FOSTER YOUTH THE COST OF
TUITION.
THE FOSTER YOUTH ARE MUCH LESS
LIKELY THAN THEIR PEERS TO
ENROLL IN COLLEGE IF THEY
COMPLETE HIGH SCHOOL WHICH FEWER
THAN HALF DO.
THEY ARE ALSO LESS LIKELY TO
GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE IF THEY DO
ONE ROLE.
SEVERAL FACTORS BOTH ACADEMIC
AND NON ACADEMIC CONTRIBUTE TO
THIS GAP IN EDUCATIONAL
SUCCESSES.
FOSTER KIDS DO NOT HAVE THE
ABILITY TO TURN TO THEIR PARENTS
FOR INFORMATION ABOUT COLLEGE
HELP WITH APPLICATIONS FOR
ASSISTANCE WITH THEIR TUITION.
WELL THOSE WHO ARE FORTUNATE
ENOUGH TO BE ADOPTED OUR FORMER
LIKELY TO ATTEND COLLEGE
ADOPTION IS ALREADY AN EXPENSIVE
PROPOSITION FOR THE FAMILIES.
WITHOUT EVEN CONSIDERING THE
COST OF COLLEGE AND FEES.
THIS CAN BE CONSIDERABLE TORRENT
FOR PARENTS CONSIDERING ADOPTION
THOSE WHO DO ADOPT FOSTER
CHILDREN OFTEN DO NOT HAVE THE
SAVINGS IN PLACE FOR HIGHER
EDUCATION.
S. B. NINE SIXTY SEVEN WAR WILL
WAIVE COMMUNITY COLLEGE CSU YOU
SEE TUITION AND FEES FOR FOSTER
KIDS WHO HAVE BEEN IN FOSTER
CARE FOR AT LEAST TWELVE MONTHS.
THE STUDENT WOULD FOOT FIRST OUT
OF THE REQUIRED TO FILL OUT THE
FAST FOR ANY TUITION WAIVER
WOULD TAKE PLACE AFTER GRANTS OR
SCHOLARSHIPS ARE ACCOUNTED. FOR
TWENTY EIGHT STATES ALREADY HAVE
TUITION WAIVER PROGRAMS IN PLACE
AND MOVING THIS BURIED EDUCATION
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BE A TRUE
GAME CHANGER.
THEN THE LIVES OF SO MANY FOSTER
YOU IN THIS STATE.
WELL CALIFORNIA PRIDES ITSELF AS
A LEADER IN SO MANY POLICY AREAS
IT'S TIME WE FOLLOW THE LEAD OF
SO MANY OTHER STATES THAT HAVE
MADE FOSTER YOUTH THE PRIORITY.
AND GIVE THEM A CHANCE FOR
SUCCESS S. BE NINE SIXTY SEVEN
WILL DO JUST THAT.
THE BILL HAS ENJOYED UNANIMOUS
SUPPORT THROUGH THE SENATE AND I
HOPE WE CAN CONTINUE THAT HERE
TODAY.
I HAVE AT HOWARD WITH THE
CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY INSTITUTE
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY IN
SUPPORT BANK THREE TIME IN
[inaudible]
S. RIVAL.
GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS AT HOWARD SENIOR COUNSEL
AT THE CHILDREN'S ADVOCACY
INSTITUTE AT THE UNIVERSITY OF
SAN DIEGO SCHOOL OF LAW THANK
YOU FOR THE MOMENT BRIEFLY TO
ADDRESS YOU ON WHEN --
THE GOVERNMENT COMES INTO OUR
HOMES AND REMOVES OUR CHILDREN
FROM OUR SHARE.
THAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST SICK --
TO OUR GOVERNMENT THERE IS
NOTHING WORSE THAT YOU COULD DO
TO ME -- AS
MY FAMILY THAT TO COME IN AND
TAKE MY AYE DAUGHTER AWAY.
AS A RESULT --
BECAUSE OF THAT WIN THE STATE --
WHEN WE COLLECTIVELY AS THE
STATE REMOVE A CHILD FROM THE
CARE OF THEIR PARENTS WE INCUR A
MORAL RESPONSIBILITY LIKE NO
OTHER -- UP
THE LATITUDE AND LONGITUDE OF
STATE GOVERNMENT.
WE BECOME LITERALLY AND THE
PARENTS OF THESE CHILDREN AND WE
ARE PROPERLY AND FAIRLY JUDGED
BY HOW WELL WE ARE DOING BY THEM.
WHEN THEY GROW UP?
IN THIS INSTANCE WHEN IT COMES
TO COMPLETING HIGHER EDUCATION.
WE EARN A FAILING GRADE.
ACCORDING TO MOST STUDIES
APPROXIMATELY 3% 3%.
A FORMER FOSTER CHILDREN
GRADUATE FROM COLLEGE DID NOT DO
PARTICULARLY WELL IN ARITHMETIC
BUT I DO KNOW HOW TO ROUND.
IF WE WOULD AROUND THAT.
THAT WOULD BE [inaudible]
ZERO NONE.
ARE CURRENTLY GRADUATING.
FROM COLLEGE THESE ARE OUR
CHILDREN.
AND GIVEN OUR UNIQUE MORE
RESPONSIBILITY AND THIS
DISGRACEFUL RESULT THAT CHANGES
ALL IT IS NOT TOO MUCH TO ASK.
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WHEN
CONSIDERING THE FINANCIAL
OBLIGATION OF THESE CHILDREN
START FROM THE BEGINNING PLACE.
THAT WE WILL NOT IN OUR OWN
INSTITUTIONS CHARGE OUR OWN
CHILDREN MONEY.
AS FOR THE GETTING PLAY.
A THIS IS AN EXCELLENT BILL I
CONGRATULATE THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER
