KILEY MY VICE CHAIR THAT IS NOW.
THE CHAIR THERE WE GO MR KILEY.
MISTER CHAIR IF I MAY PROCEED.
THANK YOU I MISTER BOND WHO'S
GOING TO SENATE WITH ME AS WELL
TODAY.
I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK FIRST
START BY ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS.
THE BILL BEFORE YOU TODAY AB
FIFTEEN OH FIVE REFORMS THE
CHARTER SCHOOL AUTHORIZATION
APPEALS AND RENEWAL PROCESS.
WE ARE ALL AWARE THAT THIS IS A
TOPIC OF MUCH DISCUSSION INSIDE
THIS CAPITAL AND OUTSIDE THIS
CAPITAL.
IN FACT THERE ARE MANY RECENT
AND NOT SO RECENT MEDIA REPORTS
ABOUT THE NEED TO REFORM THE
CURRENT PROCESS.
NOT TO ELIMINATE IT BUT TO
REFORM IT IN FACT THERE BEEN
MANY MEDIA REPORTS HERE SOME
HEADLINES RECENT.
CALIFORNIA'S BROKEN CHARTER
SCHOOL LAW HAS DEFIED REFORM.
CAN NEWSOME BREAK THE GRIDLOCK.
HOW A COUPLE WORK CHARTER SCHOOL
REGULATIONS TO MAKE MILLIONS?
SMALL DISTRICTS REAP BIG PROFITS
BY APPROVING CHARTER SCHOOLS
WITH LITTLE OVERSIGHT.
HOW A TINY CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
DISTRICT SPARK CALLS FOR CHARTER
CRACKDOWN?
CELEBRITY CHARTER SCHOOL FOUNDER
TO PLEAD GUILTY TO CONSPIRACY
CHARGES.
PROSECUTORS SAID.
AND THERE ARE MANY MORE.
AGAIN RECENT ARTICLES IN LEGAL
PROCEEDINGS DOCUMENT THE REASONS
WHY IT IS TIME TO REFORM CHARTER
SCHOOL OUT LAWS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
AND LET'S REMEMBER THERE ARE
MORE CHARTERS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA THEN THERE ARE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS.
CLEARLY SOME BUT NOT ALL.
CHARTER SCHOOLS HAVE TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF THE WEAKNESSES IN
CURRENT LAW.
WHICH IS LED TO PERSISTENT
CORRUPTION AND DAMAGE TO OUR
DISTRICT SCHOOLS AND ALL
STUDENTS IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
CLEARLY WE NEED TO SHORE UP THIS
LAW.
THIS LAW DOES NOT GET RID OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS BUT SHORES UP A
LAW THAT AUTHORIZES AND OVER
PROVIDES OVERSIGHT OF CHARTER
SCHOOLS -- LAWS ALLOW THOSE
SEEKING TO OPEN A CHARTER SCHOL
TO GO AUTHORIZED YOUR SHOPPING.
SIMPLY PUT WAS AUTHORIZING
SHOPPING ME.
SIMPLY PUT THIS MEANS THAT AFTER
BEING REJECTED BY ONE BOARD THEY
CAN GO SEARCHING FOR AN OTHER
BOARD FOR APPROVAL AND THIS IS
OFTEN HAPPEN.
WHY IS THAT A PROBLEM?
THE DISTRICT WHERE THE CHARTER
IS LOCATED NOT ONLY LOSES THEIR
STUDENTS TO A SCHOOL THEY DID
NOT BELIEVE WHAT'S BEST FOR
THEIR STUDENTS.
BUT MUST PROVIDE FACILITIES AND
OTHERWISE A COMEDY THAT CHARTER
IN THEIR OWN DISTRICT EVEN
THOUGH THEY DID NOT APPROVE IT.
FURTHER THE OVERSIGHT OF THAT
CHARTER IS BY AN ENTITY THAT IS
NOT LOCATED.
IN THEIR DISTRICT AND IN FACT
MAYBE HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY.
THIS LACK OF OVERSIGHT CAN LEAD
TO POOR FISCAL MANAGEMENT AND
POOR STUDENT OUTCOMES AND IN
FACT.
HAS MANY TIMES ACROSS OUR STATE.
OUR LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS AND
ADMINISTRATORS KNOW THEIR
DISTRICTS AND THEIR STUDENTS
BEST AND SHOULD HAVE THE ABILITY
TO DETERMINE WHICH CHARTERS CAN
BEST SERVE THEIR STUDENTS THEIR
LOCAL STUDENTS.
THIS BILL AUTHORIZES RATHER THAN
REQUIRES DISTRICTS TO APPROVE
CHARTER PETITIONS.
THIS GIVES LOCAL DISTRICTS THE
SAME AUTHORITY THAT THEY
ORIGINALLY HAD WHEN THE LAW WAS
WRITTEN IN.
NINETEEN NINETY TWO WE MUST
ALLOW SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO
CONSIDER ANY FISCAL ACADEMIC OR
FACILITIES IMPACT A CHARTER
SCHOOL MAY HAVE.
A NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
AND ONCE CHARTERS ARE APPROVED
THIS BILL REQUIRES AUTHORIZE
RESTRICT SITTER THE FINANCIAL
STABILITY OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL
DURING RENEWAL.
THIS WILL ALLOW THE AUTHORIZED
TO IDENTIFY AND RESPOND TO A
PROBLEM BEFORE IT BECOMES AN
EMERGENCY.
WHEN I CHARTER SUDDENLY CLOSES
OR SHUT DOWN IT IS DEVASTATING
FOR STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES
AND SCHOOL DISTRICTS MUST PICK
UP THE PIECES TO MAKE SURE?
THOSE STUDENTS ARE SERVED
EDUCATED.
AN EXAMPLE LAST YEAR IN
SACRAMENTO A CRISIS SITUATION
COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED IF THIS
DISTRICT HAD LOCAL CONTROL.
THURMOND COLLEGIATE ACADEMY WAS
INITIALLY DENIED BY SAN JUAN
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND TONIGHT AGAIN BY THE
SACRAMENTO COUNTY OFFICE OF
EDUCATION BECAUSE THEY IDENTIFY
POTENTIAL FINANCIAL PROBLEMS.
THE SCHOOL WAS APPROVED.
BY THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
IT'S WERE NOTIFIED THAT THE
SCHOOL WAS CLOSING ON THE VERY
DAY IT CLOSED DUE TO FINANCIAL
PROBLEMS.
THIS SCHOOL CLOSURE LEFT
STUDENTS STRANDED AND IT COULD
HAVE EASILY BEEN AVOIDED.
APPROVED ON APPEAL.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE ARE MANY
STORIES LIKE THIS ACROSS THE
STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
THIS BILL REFORM THE APPEAL
PROCESS SO THAT SITUATIONS LIKE
THIS.
ARE NOT REPEATED.
THIS BILL GIVES CHARTER
AUTHORIZES THE TOOLS TO HOLD
CHARTER SCHOOLS MORE ACCOUNTABLE.
BY ALLOWING THE AUTHORIZED TO
SHORTEN THE RENEWAL PERIOD. FOR
STRUGGLING SCHOOLS.
FURTHERMORE ANOTHER WAS RIGHT
NOW IT'S IT'S FIVE YEARS THEY
CAN ACTUALLY.
DESIGNATE A NUMBER UNDER THAT.
OF COURSE BECAUSE FIVE IS JUST
TOO LONG.
WHEN THEY HAVE FISCAL PROBLEMS
FURTHER TO ENSURE THAT CHARTER
TEACHERS ARE QUALIFIED THE BILL
CLARIFIES THAT ALL TEACHERS IN
CHARTER SCHOOLS MUST HOLD?
THE REQUIRED CREDENTIAL FOR
THEIR ASSIGNMENT.
ALLOWING CHARTERS TO HIRE AND
TRAIN TEACHERS ONLY HURTS
STUDENTS.
FINALLY.
THE BILL ALLOWS CHARTERS TO
RECEIVE VALUABLE TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE IN A TIMELY MATTER AS
CURRENTLY PROVIDED FOR OTHER
SCHOOLS ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
WHEN CHARTERS ARE STRUGGLING
ACADEMICALLY?
I WOULD LIKE TO RESPOND TO SOME
OF THE OPPOSITION'S CONCERNS.
THIS BILL CLOSE EXISTING CHARTER
SCHOOLS NO.
THIS BILL WILL NOT SHUT DOWN
EXISTING CHARTER SCHOOLS.
THIS BILL MAY POTENTIALLY SLOW
THE GROWTH OF NEW CHARTER
SCHOOLS WHY BECAUSE SOME OF THE
NEFARIOUS OPERATORS WILL RECEIVE
MORE SCRUTINY AND POTENTIALLY.
NOT BE APPROVED BUT IT WILL
AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE ANY SCHOOL.
IF YOU'RE A GOOD CHARTER
OPERATOR THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU
TO WORRY ABOUT IN THIS BILL
AGAIN.
IF YOU ARE A GOOD CHARTER SCHOOL
OPERATOR THERE'S NOTHING FOR YOU
TO WORRY ABOUT IN THIS BILL.
THIS BILL GRANDFATHERS IN ALL
EXISTING CHARTERS THAT ARE
AUTHORIZED BY SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION.
THERE ARE TWENTY NINE CHARTERS
AUTHORIZED BY THE STATE BOARD
THAT WILL NEED TO RETURN TO THE
LOCAL DISK SCHOOL DISTRICT WHEN
THEY ARE UP FOR RENEWAL.
THIS WILL RETURN OVERSIGHT.
RESPONSIBILITIES TO THE LOCAL
LEVEL.
AS THEY HAVE BEEN VERY LAX.
WELL THIS BILL ALLOW SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO CLOSE CHARTER
SCHOOLS AT RENEWAL FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICT FINANCIAL ACADEMIC OR
FACILITIES IMPACT.
THE INTENT IS TO ALLOW SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO CONSIDER THE FISCAL
IN THE FISCAL ACADEMIC AND
FACILITIES IMPACT DURING THE
REVIEW OF A PETITION FOR A NEW
CHARTER SCHOOL OR FOR A SCHOOL.
THAT IS EXPANDING ENROLLMENT.
BUT NOT FOR EXISTING SCHOOLS I
AM HAPPY TO WORK WITH ALL
PARTIES TO CLARIFY THE INTENT OF
THIS.
AND WE ALL DRESSES AND FUTURE
MOMENTS WORKING WITH ALL
STAKEHOLDERS.
NEXT HOW THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT'S TASK FORCE ON
FISCAL IMPACT AND CHARTER
AUTHORIZING IMPACT THE BILL.
I APPLAUD THE GOVERNOR IN
SUPERINTENDENT FOR CLEARLY
SIGNALING THAT MORE CHARTER
REFORM IS NEEDED.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING THE
RECOMMENDATIONS FROM THE TASK
FORCE WHICH MAY HELP INFORM AND
CHANGE THE BILL.
THE LEGISLATURE IS A SEPARATE
BRANCH OF GOVERNMENT AND WE
SHOULD IT TURMAN OUR PRIORITIES
AND MOVE FORWARD WE SHOULD NOT
KICKED THE CAN DOWN THE ROAD WE
SHOULD ACT TODAY WE SHOULD NOT
WAIT FOR A COMMITTEE THAT IS
OUTSIDE THIS BUILDING. TO COME
AND TELL US WHAT TO DO WHAT WE
LISTEN TO THEM ABSOLUTELY WILL
INCORPORATE SOME OTHER IDEAS I'M
SURE WE WILL -- AND WITH THAT --
ASSEMBLY MEMBER BONTA IT WAS ONE
OF THE JOINT AUTHORS OF THE BILL
AND HE WOULD LIKE TO SAY A FEW
WORDS FOLLOWED BY THREE
WITNESSES MISTER CHAIR.
WHICH IS APPROVED PRIOR TO THE
HEARING OAKLAND UNIFIED BOARD
PRESIDENT ANYTHING.
SAN DIEGO UNIFIED A TRUSTEE
RICHARD BARRERA AND REMOVE THE
WORLD UNIFIED TRUSTEE CITY
GARDENER SPEAKING ON BEHALF TO
THE STANDARD YOU KNOW COUNTY
OFFICE AND OTHER AREA DISTRICTS.
MISTER CHAIR I TURN ABOUT YOU
MISTER BONTA I THINK IT'S NEXT.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
COLLEAGUES AND STAFF FOR THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PRESENT.
ON AB FIFTEEN OH FIVE TODAY AS A
CO AUTHOR THE CHARTER SCHOOLS
ACT HAS.
LARGELY BEEN UNTOUCHED SINCE IT
WAS ENACTED IN.
NINETEEN NINETY TWO CALIFORNIA
NOW FINDS ITSELF FAR REMOVED
FROM THE ORIGINAL MISSION AND
VISION OF THE ACT WHICH WASN'T
PART MEANT TO HELP GENERATE
INNOVATION. TO BENEFIT STUDENTS
IN ALL SCHOOLS.
OVER THE PAST TWO DECADES THE
GROWTH OF CHARTER SCHOOLS HAS
STEADILY DRAINED MONEY AWAY.
FROM TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
AS A RESULT NUMEROUS SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ARE FACING SERIOUS
FINANCIAL CHALLENGES.
IN MY OWN HOME DISTRICT.
THEY TO THE ASSEMBLY DISTRICT
THE OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT HAS ONE OF THE HIGHEST
CONCENTRATIONS.
OF CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THE STATE
WITH NEARLY 30% OF STUDENTS
ATTENDING CHARTER SCHOOLS.
AND TWENTY EIGHTEEN OPEN UNIFIED
FACED A FISCAL SHORTFALL OF
ABOUT THIRTY MILLION DOLLARS.
OTHER DISTRICTS LIKE SAN DIEGO
SANTA CLARA AND INGLEWOOD.
ALSO FACE SIMILAR FISCAL
PRESSURES THESE DISTRICTS ALSO
HAVE A LARGE CHARTER SCHOOL
PRESENCE.
SCHOOL GOVERNING BOARD TO MAKING
CUTS IN STAFFING AND FACILITIES
AS STUDENT ENROLLMENT DECLINES
BUT DISTRICTS.
ARE AT A BREAKING POINT.
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS HAVE A
FIDUCIARY DUTY TO ENSURE THE
FISCAL HEALTH.
OF THEIR DISTRICT THAT IS THEIR
MOST FUNDAMENTAL A CRITICAL ROLE
MAKING SURE THEY HAVE A VIABLE
FISCALLY SOUND SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AB FIFTY NO FIVE WOULD
AUTHORIZED LOCAL SCHOOL BOARDS
TO CONSIDER.
HOW A PROPOSED CHARTER SCHOOL
WHEN SEEKING ORIGINAL
AUTHORIZATION COULD IMPACT A
DISTRICTS FISCAL HEALTH?
AS WELL AS HOW IT MAY IMPACT IT
DISTRICTS EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS
AND FACILITIES.
THIS BILL ALSO SEEKS TO
STRENGTHEN THE ABILITY OF
CHARTER AUTHORIZES THE WHOLE
CHARTER SCHOOLS ACCOUNTABLE FOR
THEIR FISCAL MANAGEMENT.
AB FIFTY NO FIVE WOULD PERMIT
THE CONSIDERATION OF A CHARTER
SCHOOLS FINANCIAL STABILITY.
DURING THE RENEWAL PROCESS SO
THAT A SCHOOL DISTRICT CAN
IDENTIFY AND APPROPRIATELY
RESPOND TO A PROBLEM.
WITH ASSISTANCE BEFORE IT
BECOMES.
AN EMERGENCY.
MOREOVER SCHOOL DISTRICTS NEED
PARTNERS IN INNOVATION NOT
COMPETITORS.
ALONG WITH THE OTHER GOALS OF
THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT CARTER
SCHOOLS ARE MEANT TO GENERATE
INNOVATION.
NOT PROVIDE DUPLICATION.
THIS BILL WOULD REQUIRE CHARTERS
IN THEIR PETITION TO DESCRIBE
WHY THEY'RE PROPOSED MODEL.
COULD NOT BE ACCOMPLISHED WITHIN.
THE EXISTING TRADITIONAL PUBLIC
SCHOOL STRUCTURE.
LASTLY SCHOOL BOARDS ARE ELECTED
BY AND ACCOUNTABLE.
TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES THEY ARE
ENTRUSTED TO MAKE FINAL
DECISIONS ABOUT THE EDUCATION OF
THE STUDENTS LIVING WITHIN THE
DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
AB FIFTEEN OH FIVE SEEKS TO
ENSURE THAT CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
AUTHORIZED AND OVERSEEN.
BY LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT
BEST UNDERSTAND THE EDUCATIONAL
NEEDS OF THEIR LOCAL STUDENTS.
AND THEIR COMMUNITIES.
AB FIFTY NO FIVE WILL CREATE
MORE ACCOUNTABILITY AND A
STRONGER EMPHASIS ON EMPOWERING
LOCAL.
SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR AN AYE
VOTE ON AB FIFTEEN OH FIVE WE
HAVE WITNESSES HERE.
STARTING WITH OAKLAND UNIFIED
BOARD PRESIDENT.
A MEETING.
BILL'S BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED --
MISSING.
YOU MAY PROCEED THANK YOU GOOD
AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS A MEETING PRESIDENT
OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR
OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
WE DIRECTLY SERVE THIRTY SEVEN
THOUSAND STUDENTS VERY DISTRICT
SCHOOLS.
IN ADDITION WE HAVE FORTY FOUR
CHARTER SCHOOLS OPERATING IN
OAKLAND SERVING SIXTEEN THOUSAND
STUDENTS.
THIS MEANS THAT ARE CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE NOW SERVING 27% OF
OAKLAND'S PUBLIC SCHOOL STUDENTS
WHICH IS THE HIGHEST PERCENTAGE
OF STUDENTS OF CHARTER SCHOOLS
IN THE STATE.
IN THIS RATIO IS EVEN HIGHER AT
THE MIDDLE SCHOOL LEVEL WHERE
OVER A THIRD 34% OF OUR MIDDLE
SCHOOLERS ARE NOW IN CHARTER
SCHOOLS.
THE FINANCIAL OVERSIGHT AND
MANAGEMENT CHALLENGES ARE
COMPLEX AND NEED TO BE SUPPORTED
BY STATE LAW IN ORDER TO BE
BETTER ADDRESSED AND BEST
ADDRESSED LOCALLY. FOR EXAMPLE
THE CURRENT CURRENT APPEALS
PROCESS HAD LIMITED THE
DISTRICT'S OVERSIGHT AUTHORITY
IN OUR ROADS OUR ABILITY TO PLAN
FOR LONG TERM FISCAL HEALTH.
OF OAKLAND'S FORTY FOR CHARTER
SCHOOLS NINE ARE APPROVED BY THE
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION MANY
AFTER INITIAL REJECTION BY THE
LOCAL UST BOARD.
AND ONE WAS APPROVED BY THE
STATE LAST SUMMER AT THE SAME
TIME THAT VIC MAC AND OTHER
ENTITIES SUCH AS THE ALAMEDA
COUNTY GRAND JURY.
CRITICIZED OUR DISTRICT FOR
OPERATING TOO MANY SCHOOLS IN
ASKING US TO GET OUR FISCAL
HOUSE IN ORDER.
THERE IS A CLEAR FINANCIAL
EDUCATIONAL IMPACT TO THE EXTENT
CHARTER SCHOOLS CONTRIBUTE TO
THE CONCENTRATION OF OUR HIGHEST
NEED STUDENTS INCLUDING LATE
ARRIVING NEWCOMER AND SPECIAL
NEEDS STUDENTS.
AS A WHOLE OAKLAND CHARTER
SCHOOLS SERVE.
LAST SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS
AND ALSO LESS.
MODERATE TO SEVERE US STUDENTS
WITH MODERATE AND SEVERE
DISABILITIES.
AS USTA'S OVER ALL STUDENT
POPULATION DECREASES OUR
PROPORTION OF STUDENTS WITH
SEVERE DISABILITIES IS
INCREASING IN OUR DISTRICTS
CONTRIBUTION TO SPECIAL
EDUCATION SERVICES HAS INCREASED.
FIFTEEN MILLION DOLLARS OF THE
LAST THREE YEARS TO NEARLY A
SIXTY MILLION DOLLAR
CONTRIBUTION FROM OUR GENERAL
EDUCATION FUND.
AND OUR POPULATION -- OUR
SPECIAL JEKYLL EDUCATION
POPULATION IS CONTINUING TO
INCREASE.
ONLY SIX OF THE THIRTY FOUR OPEN
AUTHORIZED CHARTER SCHOOLS
PARTICIPATE IN OUR O. U. S. D.
SELVA.
WHICH ALSO LIMITS OUR ABILITY TO
TAKE ADVANTAGE OF ECONOMIES OF
SCALES IN TERMS OF SERVING OUR
SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS
EFFECTIVELY.
FINALLY DISTRICTS US SUCH AS
OAKLAND UP THAT ARE LARGE HAVE A
DIFFICULT TIME BEING NIMBLE
ENOUGH TO WOULD MAKE ADJUSTMENTS
TO THE ENROLLMENT LOSS.
OR IN ROMAN LOSSES SPREAD ACROSS
THE CITY'S EIGHTY SEVEN DISTRICT
SCHOOLS MEANING IT'S DIFFICULT
TO CUT STAFF FOR PROGRAMS TO
ANYONE SCHOOL -- IT IS ALSO
DIFFICULT TO MAKE FURTHER
ADJUSTMENTS SUCH AS MERGERS
CONSOLIDATIONS ENCLOSURES TO GET
THE DISTRICT BACK ON SOLID
FINANCIAL FOOTING.
THE LAST TIME THE DISTRICT TRIED
TO CLOSE SCHOOLS IN TWENTY
ELEVEN AND TWELVE THEY TRY TO
CLOSE FIVE SCHOOLS AND ONE OF
THOSE SCHOOLS.
CONVERTED TO A CHARTER SCHOOL
AND WAS APPROVED TO THE COUNTY
IN THE DISTRICT LOS THOSE
STUDENTS.
THE ABOVE CHALLENGES HAVE IS
SIGNIFICANT FINANCIAL IMPACT
WITH WHICH LEADS TO UNCERTAINTY
AND ABILITY TO MAKE THOUGHTFUL
AND STRATEGIC DECISIONS ON
BEHALF OF OUR STUDENTS IN IN THE
BEST INTEREST OF OUR STUDENTS.
WHICH LEADS -- TO AND WHICH
ULTIMATELY HAS AN IMPACT ON
STUDENT LEARNING.
AND THE ABILITY TO HAVE MORE
LOCAL CONTROL OVER AUTHORIZATION
INTO MANAGE CHARTER GROWTH
PARTICULARLY JUST TRICKS SUCH AS
OURS WITH OUR HIGHEST RATIO OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS IS ABSOLUTELY
CRITICAL.
ON BEHALF OF OAKLAND WE URGE AN
AYE VOTE ON AB EIGHTEEN EIGHTY
AB FIFTY NO FIVE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU THANK YOU FOR STAYING
WITHIN THE TWO MINUTES VERY
CLOSE VERY GOOD.
YOUR NEXT OUR NEXT WITNESS HI
I'M RICHARD PERERA I'M WITH THE
SAN DIEGO UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT WE ARE THE SECOND
LARGEST SCHOOL DISTRICT IN
CALIFORNIA WE SERVE A HUNDRED
AND THIRTY THOUSAND STUDENTS --
WITHIN OUR DISTRICT WE HAVE --
FORTY SIX CHARTER SCHOOLS
CURRENTLY OPERATING ARE ROUGHLY
17% OF OUR STUDENT POPULATION.
I CERTAINLY I SUPPORT OUTSIDE
THE AYE ISSUES ARE REGARDING THE
IMPACT THAT OAKLAND UNIFIED I
JUST SPOKE TO AND AND WE'VE
EXPERIENCED MANY OF THE SAME
ISSUES AND SAN DIEGO BUT I I
PARTICULARLY WANT TO SPEAK TO
THAT LOCAL CONTROL.
ASPECT OF THIS BILL -- WE TAKE
OUR RESPONSIBILITY IS ELECTED
OFFICIALS -- VERY SERIOUSLY WHEN
A CHARTER PETITION COMES TO US
OR WHEN A RENEWAL COMES TO US.
I AND IN FACT WE I IN OVER THE
LAST SIX YEARS.
HI ON RENEWALS WE HAVE RENEWED
FIFTY EIGHT PETITIONS THAT HAVE
COME FORWARD TO OUR DISTRICT AND
WE DID NIGHT THREE WE ARE HARDLY
A DISTRICT THAT IS HOSTILE -- TO
TO OUR EXISTING CHARTER
COMMUNITY BUT WE DO HAVE AN
EXAMPLE I'D THAT IS VERY CURRENT
THAT I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT HI
FREDA I KNOW ABOUT IF YOU DON'T
ALREADY.
WE HAD A SCHOOL SEVERAL EITHER
FIVE YEARS AGO THRIVE PUBLIC
SCHOOLS THEY CAYMAN PETITION TO
OUR DISTRICT.
WE HAD SERIOUS CONCERNS IN THE
PETITION ABOUT THE ABILITY OF
THRIVE -- TO SUCCESSFULLY
PROVIDE A QUALITY EDUCATION
PARTICULARLY HI TO YOU I
STUDENTS -- FACING SOCIOECONOMIC
DISADVANTAGED ENGLISH LEARNERS
AFRICAN AMERICAN STUDENTS TO
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
I AND WE DENIED THAT PETITION
AND AGAIN IT'S RARE I AND I'VE
IT IS MY ELEVENTH YEAR ON THE
SCHOOL BOARD IT'S RARE THAT WE
DID NOT AND AND INITIAL PETITION
BUT WE DENIED THAT.
ONE THRIVE IN APPEAL TO THE
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION WHICH
DENIED THE PETITION FOR MANY OF
THE SAME REASONS THAT WE HAD
IDENTIFIED.
THRIVE AN APPEAL TO THE STATE
BOARD OF EDUCATION WAS GRANTED
IT AYE AYE CHARTER.
I AT THE TIME WAS GRANTED A
CHARTER FOR AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
WITH FEWER THAN ONE HUNDRED
STUDENTS AND OVER THE LAST FEW
YEARS -- THE STATE BOARD OF
EDUCATION TWICE APPROVED
MATERIAL REVISIONS THAT ALLOWED
THRIVE TO EXTEND TO A MIDDLE
SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.
AND NOW HAS A THOUSAND STUDENTS.
WHEN DR CAME TO US FOR RENEWAL
WE SAW SOME OF THE WORST
ACADEMIC OUTCOMES THAT WE'VE
EVER SEEN IN A CHARTER PETITION
WE DENIED THE STATE BOARD THEN
DENIED THE RENEW ALL?
AND NOW WE'RE IN A POSITION THAT
WE ARE READY TO WORK WITH ONE
THOUSAND STUDENTS TO FIND
PLACEMENTS FOR THEM I THAT
SHOULD HAVE NEVER HAPPENED IF
OUR LOCALAUTHORITY THAT ARE
EXPECTED IN THE FIRST PLACE SO
WE ARE SUPPORT FOR THIS THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU I'M A GARDENER.
IS -- IT IS ON GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME IS CINDY GARDNER AND THE
TRUSTEE VICE CHAIR FOR SAND DABS
WHICH IS DECEMBER NINETEEN OH
COUNTY DISTRICT ADVOCATES FOR
BETTER SCHOOLS AND ON THE SCHOOL
BOARD PRESIDENT PROGRAM IN THE
WORLD UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AT THE MARCH SAND DABS MEETING
WE VOTED UNANIMOUSLY TO SUPPORT
THIS BILL BELIEVING THAT CHARTER
SCHOOL DECISIONS SHOULD BE MADE
AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AND STAY AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL.
WHILE WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MANY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN DECEMBER
NINETEEN OH COUNTY HAVE GREAT
WORKING RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE
CHARTERS OPERATING WITHIN THEIR
DISTRICT BOUNDARIES WE ALL
AGREED THAT THE DECISIONS REALLY
NEAT NEED TO BE REMAINING AT THE
LOCAL LEVEL.
INCLUDING IN THAT DISCUSSION WAS
COUNTIES ASSEMBLY DINO COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT TED ALL HUNDREDS.
OF VOICE OF SUPPORT FOR THIS
BILL AGAIN AGREEING COLLECTIVELY
WITH ALL OF US REPRESENTING THE
COUNTY THAT THE DECISIONS NEED
TO BE MADE AT THE LOCAL LEVEL.
WITH THE DATA THAT DISTRICTS
SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO CONSIDER
THE FACTORS OF FINANCE
FACILITIES IN ACADEMICS.
RAN FACE TO CHARTER SCHOOL
PETITION WITH A MYRIAD OF RED
FLAGS FOR A BOARD AND DISTRICT
ESPECIALLY IN THE AREAS OF
SERVICES PROVIDED TO ENGLISH
LANGUAGE LEARNERS.
AND SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS
THIS ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION
PROGRAM HAD CONTINUOUS BORDERS
ALL THE WAY TO SAN DIEGO AND WE
KNEW OUR SMALL DISTRICT STAFF
COULD NOT EFFECTIVELY OVERSEE A
MONITOR THIS ORGANIZATION.
WE KNEW WORKING WITH OUR
ATTORNEY ON THIS ISSUE WE COULD
NOT INCLUDE ISSUES OF FACILITIES
ALTHOUGH WE ONLY HAVE ONE HIGH
SCHOOL WITH ONE FOR FOOTBALL
FIELD ONE BASEBALL ONE STOP ALL.
AND WE SHARE THESE FACILITIES
WITH OUR YOUTH SPORTS PROGRAMS
BECAUSE FLAT SPACE IS A PREMIUM
ON THE MOUNTAIN AND WE'RE IN THE
MOUNTAINS.
SO A THIRD ENTITY CHALLENGING US
FOR THESE FACILITIES WOULD BEEN
HIGHLY PROBLEMATIC WE ALSO KNEW
THAT WE COULD NOT INCLUDE THE
ISSUES OF FINANCIAL HARDSHIP WE
ARE DISTRICT WOULD FACE.
IF THIS DISTRICT OPERATE WITHIN
OUR BOUNDARIES BECAUSE WE ARE
EXPERIENCING IT'S READ A 5%
DECLINE FOR THE LAST TWENTY
YEARS WE ALSO ARE NOT THE
WINNERS OF THE LCS THAT FORMULA.
AND MOST OF THE HOMES IN OUR
COMMUNITIES HAPPEN TO BE RESORT
SECOND HOME OWNERS ONLY ABOUT
3240% OF OUR FAMILY.
OUR HOMES ARE ACTUALLY FAMILY SO
WE HAVE A VERY -- TIGHT
POPULATION WE KNEW WE WERE
FACING ARREST TO DENY THIS
CHARTER YET WE FELT BASED UPON
THE PETITION DOCUMENT.
THAT WE MADE THE BEST CHOICE FOR
OUR SCHOOLS WHERE THE FIGHTING
SCOTS EVERYBODY ON THE MOUNTAIN
IS A FIGHTING SCOTT AND SAN
BERNARDINO.
ALSO BELIEVES THAT THEY NEED TO
MAKE THEIR OWN CHOICES THANK YOU
ARE WELL DONE I WILL HAVE ONE
THAT'S ONE OF THE OPPOSITION OF
THREE WITNESSES I BELIEVE THIS
ROUTE IS A FOR THE OPPOSITION.
THEY CAN COME FORWARD.
I'M SORRY MY FAULT I'M AHEAD OF
THINGS I APOLOGIZE MY HEAD WAS
SOMEWHERE ELSE -- STAY THERE --
WE'RE GONNA GO TO THE REST OF
THE SUPPORT SO IF YOU SUPPORT
THIS BILL.
AND YOU ARE MEMBER THE PUBLIC
WISHING TO TO TO SPEAK TO IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL WHAT YOU DO
IS YOU WALK UP TO WHAT ONE OF
THREE MICROPHONES THERE'S
THERE'S THREE OF THEM.
AND WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO IS
STATE YOUR NAME.
AFFILIATION MAYBE YOU'RE WITH A

PUBLIC SCHOOLS OAKLAND.
SERVING OVER THREE THOUSAND
STUDENTS 90% OF WHOM QUALIFY FOR
FREE AND REDUCED LUNCH I CAME TO
THE CHARTER SECTOR AFTER FIFTEEN
YEARS WITH AN OPEN UNIFIED TO
SEE IF THE FLEXIBILITY IS
EMBEDDED IN CHARTER LAW COULD
FACILITATE XCELERATED.
ACADEMIC GROWTH FOR HIGH POVERTY
STUDENTS IN EAST OAKLAND.
WHO HAVE BEEN VERY POORLY SERVED
FOR DECADES?
I AM DISMAYED BY THE DIVISION
AND SCAPEGOATING THAT AB FIFTEEN
OH FIVE AS INVITED INTO AN
OTHERWISE REASONABLE DEBATE
ABOUT SUSTAINING OUR PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM.
THE RESEARCH BY GORDON LATE FOR
THAT THE COMMITTEE IS RELYING ON
LEX RIGOR AND BASIC REVIEW.
THERE'S LITTLE CREDIBLE EVIDENCE
THAT CHARTER SCHOOLS OF THE
CHIEF CAUSE OF DISTRICT
FINANCIAL DISTRESS AND FAXES
INSUFFICIENT FUNDING FOR SPECIAL
EDUCATION SKYROCKETING PENSION
AND BENEFITS COSTS.
WERE IDENTIFIED BY STANFORD
RESEARCH.
GETTING DOWN TO FAX IT TO REPORT
AS THE MAIN DRIVERS OF DISTRICTS
FILE JUST FISCAL DISTRESS AND
FRANKLY CHARTER FISCAL DISTRESS.
CHAIR O'DONNELL INDICATED THAT
AB FIFTY NO FIVE GRANDFATHER'S
EXISTING CHARTER SCHOOLS.
ADD CODE FOUR SEVEN SIX OH SEVEN
NAMES AT RENEWAL STANDARDS ARE
GOVERNED BY CRITERION AT CODE
FOUR SEVEN SIX OH FIVE WITH THIS
LEGISLATION MODIFIES WHICH THIS
LEGISLATION MODIFIES TO ALLOW
DENIAL FOR NEGATIVE FINANCIAL
ACADEMIC OR FACILITIES IMPACT.
SO AB FIFTEEN OH FIVE STILL
GRANT SCHOOL DISTRICTS EXPANSIVE
DISCRETION TO CLOSE EXISTING
CHARTER SCHOOLS AND DENIES
EXISTING SCHOOLS MEANINGFUL DUE
PROCESS. TO OVERTURN DECISIONS
THAT ARE ENTIRELY DIVORCED FROM
THE EDUCATIONAL VALUES THE
CHARTERS ARE PROVIDING FOR MRS
MOST DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.
STANFORD'S REPORTER FROM THE
CHARTER SCHOOLS DO SIGNIFICANTLY
BETTER THAN DISTRICT SCHOOLS IN
URBAN AREAS AND FOR
TRADITIONALLY LOWER PERFORMING
STUDENT GROUPS.
ISN'T THIS THE PRIORITY OF OUR
PUBLIC SCHOOL SYSTEM TO SERVE
THE CHILDREN AND NOT THE
INSTITUTION.
AB FIFTEEN OH FIVE IT'S TO
STARTING SCHOOL SYSTEMS AGAINST
EACH OTHER HOLD ON HOLD ON WE
CAN'T HAVE OUTBURSTS LIKE THAT.
IN THIS ROOM HEY.
EVERYBODY GETS A CHANCE TO BE
HEARD BY THE A LIKE IT OR YOU
DON'T THAT'S HOW DEMOCRACY WORKS
OKAY AND WE'RE GONNA WORK RIGHT
NOW SO PLEASE PROCEED.
AB FIFTY NO FIVE PITS TO
STARVING SCHOOL SYSTEMS AGAINST
EACH OTHER DOES LITTLE TO
ADDRESS THE ENVIRONMENT A
SCARCITY THAT WILL TO LOOK
DOUBLE DEBILITATE ALL CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN THE LONG TERM.
I APPLAUD THE GOVERNOR AND STATE
SUPERINTENDENT FOR BRINGING A
GROUP OF DIVERS PRACTITIONERS
TOGETHER TO RECOMMEND REVISIONS
I AM NOT OPPOSED REVISIONS TO
CHARTER LAW.
I BELIEVE HOWEVER THAT
PRACTITIONER VOICE THE VOICES OF
PEOPLE ON THE GROUND DOING THE
WORK MUST INFORM THE REVISIONS
THAT WILL HAVE A VERY REAL
IMPACT ON THE LIVES OF HUNDREDS
OF POTENTIAL CHILDREN.
IN HUNT THOUSANDS OF POTENTIAL
CHILDREN AND HUNDREDS OF SCHOOLS.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH THANK YOU

CHARTER SCHOOL IS THE TOP
PERFORMING SCHOOL IN ALUM ROCK
DISTRICT.
YET THIS BILL WILL GIVE POWER TO
LOCAL DISTRICT TO DENY RENEWALS
BASED ON FINANCIAL IMPACT ON
THEIR DISTRICT INSTEAD OF
LOOKING AT ACADEMIC RESULTS.
GIVEN FINANCIAL POWER BACK TO
ALUM ROCK IS AN INJUSTICE TO OUR
COMMUNITY WHEN THE RECENT GRAND

COMMUNITY RIGHT.
OUR COMMUNITIES OF COLOR THE

GOOD AFTERNOON I'M DAVE GORDON I
WORK IS THE SACRAMENTO COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS AND
TODAY I'M REPRESENTING OUR
COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION FOR
SACRAMENTO.
WE HAVE THREE REASONS OUR
BORDERS THREE REASONS FOR
OPPOSING THIS BILL NUMBER.
ONE ELIMINATES THE COUNTY BOARDS
OPPORTUNITY TO APPROVE COUNTY
WIDE CHARTERS GOING FORWARD.
OUR BOARD CERTAINLY HASN'T ABUSE
THAT PRIVILEGE AND FOURTEEN
YEARS.
THEY'VE ONLY APPROVED ONE COUNTY
WIDE CHARTER.
THE FORTUNE CHARTER SCHOOL WHICH
IS BEEN OPERATING FOR ABOUT
EIGHT YEARS NOW AND WAS.
INTRODUCED IN THE FIRST PLACE TO
CLOSE THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP FOR
SOME OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE
STUDENTS AND IN FACT.
THE SCHOOL HAS OVER TWELVE
HUNDRED STUDENTS AT SIX
LOCATIONS NOW.
AND IS DOING EXACTLY THAT WE'RE
VERY PROUD OF THE PERFORMANCE OF
THE FOURTEEN SCHOOL.
SECONDLY THE BILL WOULD
ELIMINATE THE CHARTER APPEAL
PROCESS. FOR EXISTING CHARTER
SCHOOLS WHICH THE BOARD FEELS.
IS NECESSARY IN A DEMOCRATIC
SYSTEM TO HAVE SOME -- REDRESS
IF UP IF THE PETITION IS TURNED
DOWN AND AGAIN THE PROCESS
HASN'T BEEN ABUSED IN ANY WAY
SHAPE OR FORM.
THERE HAVE BEEN THIRTEEN APPEALS --
NONE OF WHICH WAS APPROVED AND
IN FACT ONE OF THE ONES WAS THE
ONE THE CHAIRMAN MENTIONED THAT
EVENTUALLY WENT TO THE STATE
BOARD.
AND WAS APPROVED IT HAD BEEN
TURNED DOWN BY THE SACRAMENTO
COUNTY BOARD.
AND FINALLY OUR BOARD BELIEVES
A. B. FIFTEEN FIVE FIFTEEN OH
FIVE IS PREMATURE AGAIN.
BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR'S TASK
FORCE WE BELIEVE HAS A HAS A
VERY VERY BALANCED -- MEASURED
GROUP TO LOOK AT THESE ISSUES
AND WE HOPE WILL COME UP WITH
SOME SOUTH SOLUTIONS SO THANK
YOU.

YEAH YEAH SO MEMBERS WE PLAN TO
TAKE.
NOT THE CURRENT FORM.
OKAY BILL FOR THEIR NOT REFLECT
IN THE BILL.
OKAY THAT'S WHAT I'M STATING YES
I'M SORRY I THOUGHT OF YOU THE
CLIP.
OKAY THEN AGAIN -- I I JUST HAD
A QUESTION TALK ABOUT FISCAL
IMPACT YOU TALK ABOUT DISTRICTS.
MAYBE THE WAY SOUND MAY WORK THE
COMMENTATOR TAKE TEACHERS TOO
MUCH.
YOU TALKED ABOUT PENSIONS AND
YOU TALK ABOUT BENEFITS AND PAY
WAS IS IT YOUR POSITION THAT
TEACHERS IN CALIFORNIA PAY TOO
MUCH.
NO MY POSITION WOULD BE THE
OPPOSITE AND WE COME FROM
OAKLAND CALIFORNIA WERE
SKYROCKETING COST OF LIVING IS
MAKING IT SUCH THAT WHETHER
YOU'RE IN A DISTRICT A CHARTER
PUBLIC SCHOOL OUR ABILITY TO PAY
TEACHERS TO EVEN PAY RENT -- AND
SURVIVE IS INADEQUATE SO I THINK
I WAS REFERRING TO THE FACT THAT --
IN THE LAST COUPLE YEARS ARE THE
ART.
SCHOOL OPERATORS HAVE BEEN
REQUIRED TO CONTRIBUTE
INCREASING AMOUNTS TO THE
PENSION FUNDS WHICH HAVE MADE IT
SO THAT WHILE L. L. C. AT THAT
HAS GONE UP OUR EXPENSES OF ALSO
GOING UP DRAMATICALLY IN AT THIS
POINT.
THE INCREASES IN LCF ARE NOT
KEEPING PACE WITH THE INCREASES
IN PENSIONS AND BENEFITS
INCREASES OKAY AND I AGREE WITH
AND THAT'S NOT A THAT'S NOT A
CHARTER SCHOOL OR TRADITIONAL.
SCRAP PROBLEM THAT'S A
CALIFORNIA PROBLEM THAT WE NEED
TO DRESS FOR ALL STICKER ACT IN
EVERY SCHOOL SO I APPRECIATE
THAT POINT OF VIEW.
AND I AGAIN I JUST I EITHER A
LOT OF FOLKS WHO CAME UP WITH
THINK FROM THE HOME SCHOOL
COMMUNITY I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY
FEEL MORE TARGETED THAN ANY
OTHER IN THIS EFFORT I DON'T
THINK THAT'S THAT'S THAT'S THE
EFFORT HERE.
AND I I JUST WANT UNDERLYING
THAT IF YOU'RE CHARTER SCHOOL AS
WELL OPERATED TODAY.
THIS BILL DOES NOT SPEAK YOUR
SCHOOL.
THIS BILL SPEAKS TO THOSE
SCHOOLS WHO ARE NOT OPERATED
WELL THAT'S THE INTENT OF THE
BILL OKAY SO WITH THAT WE'RE
GONNA GO BACK TO THE COMMITTEE.
AND ALL MR MCCARTY YOU SEE SHE
IN HER DO WISH [inaudible]
TO THANK YOU -- MAYBE I CAN JUST
ASK YOU MISTER BONTA OR THAT THE
CHAIR IS A JOINT AUTHORED JUST
TO CLARIFY ONE MORE TIME.
BECAUSE I THINK IF YOU ASK THE
FIVE HUNDRED PEOPLE HERE TODAY
WHATEVER THE WHATEVER NUMBER
THERE ARE THIS BOOK CAN
OPPOSITION.
THEY WOULD SAY TWO THINGS.
THEY LOVE THEIR CHARTER SCHOOLS
THEY EITHER HALFORD HAD A GREAT
EXPERIENCE.
AND THEY DON'T WANT TO SHUT DOWN.
HEY THERE'S A LOT OF CONFUSION.
AND FRANKLY DISINFORMATION ABOUT.
THIS AND THE AND THE NEXT BILL
WHICH WILL GET TO A LITTLE BIT
SO COULD YOU CLARIFY. FOR THE
RECORD WHAT WOULD HAPPEN TO
CURRENT.
OPERATORS.
WHETHER THE GRANDFATHER
GRANDMOTHER CLAUSE WHEN THEY
PETITION FOR RENO.
YES IN SHORT THIS THIS BILL IS
NOT DESIGNED OR INTENDED TO
CLOSE ANY CURRENTLY EXISTING
CHARTER SCHOOLS [inaudible]
THE IT'S UNFORTUNATE THAT WE
HAVE A DRAFTING ERROR.
THAT HAS CREATED SOME CONFUSION
IT'S IT IS IN THE CURRENT FORM
OF THE BILL WHAT YOU'RE READING
YOUR READING IT RIGHT.
BUT THAT'S NOT WHAT IT'S
INTENDED TO DO IT WILL BE A
CHANGE SO THAT.
THE CONSIDERATION OF FINANCIAL
IMPACT THE CONSIDERATION OF
ACADEMIC IMPACT THE
CONSIDERATION OF FACILITIES
IMPACT WILL ONLY APPLY. TO
INITIAL AUTHORIZATION.
NOT.
NOT. TO RENEW OFFICE
[inaudible]
AND YOUR GRANDFATHER NANOGRAM
MOTHER DâN.
I'VE HEARD THAT BEFORE BUT OFF
REPEATED -- IF -- IF YOU'RE HAVE
ALREADY BEEN AUTHORIZING YOU SEE
CAN WE AUTHORIZATION YOU GO BACK
TO THE AUTHORIZED FOR THAT
AUTHORIZE YOU -- WITH ONE
EXCEPTION BUT BUT IF YOU GOT A
AUTHORIZATION FROM A LOCAL
SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT'S THAT'S
WHERE YOU GO BACK FOR FOR RE
AUTHORIZATION. FOR WE KNOW IF
YOU GOT AUTHORIZED BY COUNTY.
HE GO BACK TO THE COUNTY.
BUT IF YOU'RE AUTHORIZED BY THE
STATE WE ASK NOW WITH THIS BILL
THAT YOU GO.
BACK TO THE LOCAL DISTRICT
THAT'S THE ONE EXCEPTION.
SOMEONE JUST BE CLEAR ABOUT THAT --
SO THAT WE MY IMPRESSION WAS
MUCH THE SAME AS YOURS MISTER
MCCARTY -- AND I FIRST WANT TO
THANK INCREDIBLE LEVELS OF
ENGAGEMENT FROM -- FOLKS MALL
OVER THE STATE MANY -- I NOTICED
A FROM MY DISTRICT THANK YOU ALL
FOR COMING IF YOU CAME FROM MY
DISTRICT -- THE YOUNG PEOPLE
PARTICULAR WANNA GIVE A SHOUT
OUT TO FOR BEING HERE FOR
EXPRESSING YOUR VIEW FOR
ENGAGING.
AND OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS --
BUT MY SENSE WAS.
THAT FOLKS LOVE THEIR CURRENT
CHARTER SCHOOL.
AND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE CLOSE BY
THIS BILL.
AND I WANT TO CLARIFY THAT THAT
IS NOT THE INTENTION NOR DO WE
THINK IT WILL BE THE IMPACT AT
ALL.
OF OF THIS BILL THIS IS ABOUT
NEW APPLICATIONS --
AUTHORIZATIONS GUY GOING FORWARD
WHERE I CHARGE BUT NEVER BEEN
AUTHORIZED BEFORE SO THERE'S NO.
KIDS ARE STUDENTS GOING TO IT
YET IT DOESN'T EXIST.
AND THEY'RE GONNA WE'RE GONNA BE
ASKING.
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.
TO CONSIDER WHAT THEY CONSIDER
FOR OTHER ISSUES.
LIKE THE FISCAL IMPACT OF
PENSIONS THE FISCAL IMPACT OF
HEALTH CARE THE FISCAL IMPACT OF
HUMAN RESOURCES WERE GONNA ASK
THAT THEY ALSO BE ABLE TO
CONSIDER AS ONE FACTOR AMONG
MANY.
THE FISCAL IMPACT OF ON A
DISTRICT OF A CHARTER SCHOOL
THAT'S BEING ASKED WE AUTHORIZE
FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER.
SO I HOPE THAT CLARIFIES THINGS
FOR SOME OF THE FOLKS HERE IN
THE AUDIENCE -- AND MAKES THEM
FEEL A BIT MORE COMFORTABLE
ABOUT THEIR EXISTING CHARTER
SCHOOL AND MISTER MCCARTY IF I
COULD THERE'S ALREADY PROCESS
FOR TRADITIONAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
AB TWELVE HUNDRED I BELIEVE IT
IS THERE'S A PROCESS WHERE AND
THEY FILED THE COUNTY AND THERE
FISCAL SITUATION LOOKED AT THREE
YEARS OUT AND ALSO SEE NEW
SIMPLY.
IS DEPRIVE BASICALLY THE SAME
STANDARD TO CHARTER SO THAT WE
CAN IDENTIFY WHEN THERE ARE
FISCAL PROBLEMS MUCH EARLIER.
AND I DON'T KNOW HOW ANYONE CAN
FAULT US FOR DOING THAT THAT'S
JUST WISE POLICY SO THAT IF
THERE ARE PROBLEMS WE CAN GET
INTO THE CHART OF THE COUNTY
MEMBER THEY NEED HELP FROM.
CAN GET IN THERE I AND HELP
ADDRESS THE FISCAL PROBLEMS ON
IT -- IT EARLY ON SO THEY DON'T
RESULT IN A DAY OF APPARENTLY
THE DAY HAVE A SCHOOLS CLOSING
THAT THEY HAVE TO GO THEN FIND A
SPOT FOR THEIR STUDENT IN IN IN.
IN ANOTHER SCHOOL IN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL LOCAL TRADITIONAL PUBLIC
SCHOOL HAS TO PICK THAT STUDENT
UP IN A VERY IMMEDIATE BASIS AND
THAT CAUSES ALL KINDS OF
LOGISTICAL ISSUES.
SO AGAIN THIS IS IT WE SEEK
EARLY WARNING. TO HELP NOT TO
HURT YEAH.
THANK YOU AND AND MY NEXT
QUESTION CAN I ASK MY LOCAL
COUNTY SUPERLATIVE SCHOOLS
MISTER GARDEN -- TO TO TO COME
BACK IF YOU MAY FOR SECOND.
YEAH AND WHILE HE'S HE'S ON HIS
WAY OUT -- MISTER BONTA I WILL
SAY JUST LIKE YOU THAT YOU KNOW
WE KNOW GOOD CHARTER OPERATORS
AREN'T IN OUR COMMUNITIES I
HEARD.
HERE FROM TODAY AND A BUNCH OF
MY AREA THAT THE HIGHLANDS
CHARTER PROGRAM WHICH IS THE
FOCUS IS PROBABLY AN ADULT ADULT
EDUCATION.
ADULT LEARNERS ARE FORTUNE
SCHOOL OF COURSE ARE HEARD FOR
THE LANGUAGE TO CARRY A SACK
SACRAMENTO SO.
I KNOW INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES
TO PARTICIPATE SO WANT TO
ACKNOWLEDGE.
THE WORK THAT THEY'RE DOING AND
THEY'RE NOT GOING AWAY.
I WILL I WANT TO I WANT TO ASK
YOU MISTER GORE YOU FOR THOSE OF
YOU DON'T KNOW YOU ARE ARE
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS.
AND YOU'RE HERE TODAY TO TESTIFY
IN OPPOSITION -- TO THIS BILL --
ON BEHALF OF YOUR BOARD YOU SAID
RIGHT SO SO YOU'RE YOU'RE NOT
HERE AS AN INDIVIDUAL AS A SUPER
TEN YOU'RE HERE ON BEHALF OF
YOUR BOARD.
CORRECT.
YEAH I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF MY
BOARD TRYING TO REFLECT THE
EXPERIENCE.
THAT I AND MY BOARD HAVE HAD
OVER THE YEARS.
WITH CHARTER SCHOOLS.
I ALSO THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO
NOTE THAT THERE ARE.
OF THE ED COALITION.
WE HEARD FROM -- THREE GROUPS OF
MY SENDING EARLIER THAT ARE TO
SUPPORT THE MEASURE.
AND THERE'S THREE OTHERS FROM
THE MANAGEMENT SIDE THE SCHOOL
BOARD ASSOCIATION CSPA
BACKS -- WHO UP SOMEWHAT
SUPPORTIVE AMENDED IN YOUR
ORGANIZATION SUCCESS AT?
WHICH IS COMMUNICATED TO OUR
STAFF THAT THEY ARE ALSO.
SUPPORT FOR MINUTES SO IT SENDS
A LITTLE BIT OF CONFUSION THAT
YOU'RE HERE.
OPPOSING THE BILL.
WHEN YOUR ORGANIZATION WHICH
YOU'RE A PROUD MEMBER OF IS
WALKING AROUND THE SAME ALL
SAYING THAT THEY WOULD SUPPORT
WITH THAT TECHNICAL AMENDMENT?
THAT CREATES A PROBLEM MISTER
GORE'S LE LET ME TRY TO SET THE
RECORD STRAIGHT ON THAT BECAUSE
AS I SAID I THINK YOU KNOW ME
WELL ENOUGH TO KNOW.
THAT WHAT I'M TRYING TO DO IS IS
PRESENT TO THE COMMITTEE.
THE RECORD OF OUR EXPERIENCE
WITH MY COUNTY BOARD.
AND THE MANAGEMENT OF OF
CHARTERS.
AND I THINK OUR OUR BOARD OVER
THE YEARS HAS BEEN VERY PRUDENT.
IN LOOKING AT CHARTERS THEY HAVE
NOT -- APPROVED WEEK CHARTERS
THIS AS I MENTION THE ONLY
COUNTY WIDE CHARTER THAT.
THE BOARD HAS APPROVED AS THE
FORTUNE CHARTER WHICH WHICH I
THINK IS IS KNOWN PRETTY WELL.
AS A HIGH PERFORMING CHARTERS SO
THAT'S OUR EXPERIENCE WITH
CHARTERS AND THAT'S WHAT WE
WANTED TO REFLECT TO TO THE
COMMITTEE AS YOU DELIBERATE.
ON WHERE THE SKULLS.
OKAY I WOULD JUST ASK THAT THE
DID YOU KNOW YOU WORK WITH ALSO
WITH THE ASSOCIATION.
THEY'RE BRINGING US INFORMATION
ABOUT -- SUPPORTING THE BILL
WITH A TECHNICAL ADJUSTMENT AND
SO I THINK THAT GOD AND ASK YOU
CAN CONTINUE TO MAKE SURE THAT
YOU COMMUNICATE THAT WITH US AS
WELL YEAH YOUR EYES SHALL AND
AND WE'RE VERY PLEASED TO HAVE A
MEMBER ON THE GOVERNOR'S --
APPOINTED COMMITTEE -- UP.
THE HEAD OF OUR COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENT ASSOCIATION --
ADVANCE.
AND AND WE'RE LOOKING TO TO HIM
TO HAVE -- INPUT AN INFLUENCE ON
THAT PROCESS SO THANK YOU.
YES AND AND AND YOU KNOW WE HAVE
A FEW BILLS I WON'T GET AHEAD OF
OURSELVES BUT IT'S BUT I KNOW
SACRAMENTO IS IS ROUGHLY 1012%
CHARTER POPULATION SIMILAR TO
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
AND AND I THINK THAT YOU KNOW
WE'VE HAD.
THIS LAW ON THE BOOKS SINCE THE
EARLY NINETIES FARCE CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE.
LABORATORIES FOR LEARNING WHEN
THEY FIRST CAME ABOUT TEN IT'S
EVOLVED AND IT IS WHAT IT IS AND
SO I THINK.
THIS IS AN APPROPRIATE
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE FISCAL
REALITIES OF OUR SCHOOLS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA AND NEEDED AND THAT'S
WHY SUPPORT THIS MISSION THANK
YOU.
DO WE HAVE ANY HOPE.
MISS SMITH.
I LIKE TO THINK MY CO AUTHOR ON
THIS MISTER BONTA AND I
PARTICULARLY APPRECIATED YOUR
COMMENT.
ABOUT PARTNERS IN INNOVATION AND
FOR THOSE WHO ARE HERE IN
OPPOSITION TODAY AND I'VE HAD
SOME ROBUST CONVERSATIONS WITH
THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION
ONE OF MY MAIN CONCERNS HAVING
SPENT.
TIME AT THE US DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION AND NINE YEARS AS A
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER IS THAT WE
HAVE LOST SIGHT.
OF THE INNOVATION FEEDBACK LOOP
THAT WAS ORIGINALLY INTENDED IN
OUR NATION AND OUR STATE'S
CHARTER MOVEMENT.
AND SO IF YOU COULD THOSE OF YOU
IN OPPOSITION SPEAK TO KIND OF
WHAT THAT INNOVATION FEEDBACK
LOOP LOOKS LIKE IN THE DISTRICT
THAT YOU CURRENTLY SERVE.
AND IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON ANY
CHANGES GOING FORWARD TO HELP
ENHANCE THAT PROCESS.
I'M SORRY JUST TO CLARIFY SO THE
CHARTER SECTOR IN OAKLAND IS
ACTUALLY IN PRETTY STRONG
RELATIONSHIP WITH DISTRICT
LEADERSHIP -- WE MEET REGULARLY
WITH THE SUPERINTENDENT HER
STAFF TO THINK ABOUT THE LARGER
PORTFOLIO OF SCHOOLS I AM THE
FOUNDER AND A PARENT URBAN
MONTESSORI CHARTER SCHOOL THE
ONLY PUBLIC MONTESSORI OPTION IN
OAKLAND.
WORKING ACTUALLY WE RAISE MONEY
TO HAVE A STAFF PERSONWHO IS
ACTUALLY WORKING ACROSS DISTRICT
IN CHARTER SCHOOL TO HELP FIGURE
OUT HOW TO CREATE MONTESSORI
PRESCHOOL AND KINDERGARTEN
PROGRAMMING AND U. S. D..
I I DON'T THINK THERE'S BEEN
ACTUALLY WE'RE PART OF WE
PARTNER WITH -- SIX ACTUALLY --
THIRTEEN LOWER ELEMENTARY
PROGRAMS OPEN UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT AS PART OF AN EARLY
LITERACY INITIATIVE FUNDED BY
THE KENNETH RENDON FOUNDATION
CHARTER DISTRICT ALIKE WE
EDUCATION FOR CHANGER IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH -- UST AROUND
CREATING A SPECIAL EDUCATION
RESIDENCY PROGRAM AND ACTUALLY
GOT STATE FUNDING TOWARDS THAT
THIS THIS SCHOOL YEAR.
THERE ARE MANY WAYS IN WHICH THE
DISTRICT CHARTER DIVIDE THAT IS
SORT OF PERPETUATED IS ACTUALLY
NOT TRUE IN OAKLAND THERE'S
RHETORIC AND THERE'S REALITY.
AND I THINK THERE IS MUCH
INTEREST IN WORKING ACROSS -- I
OPENED AT THE CONTROVERSIAL
LATITUDE HIGH SCHOOL THAT WENT
TO STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION IT
IS ONE OF THE MOST INNOVATIVE
PROGRAMS IMAGINABLE WHICH IS WHY
I PUT SO MUCH ENERGY AND OPENING
IT.
WE'RE THEIR CREDIT A COMPETENCY
BASED HIGH SCHOOL MODEL VERY
INVEST IN WORKING WITH THE
ALTERNATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAMS
OAKLAND SO WE CAN GET RID OF
THINGS LIKE CONTINUATION HIGH
SCHOOLS AND ALTERNATIVE HIGH
SCHOOLS AND MOVE TOWARDS.
IF YOU HAVE A COMPETENCY BASED
SYSTEM ALL KIDS REGARDLESS OF
WHETHER THEY'RE UNDER CREDITED
SIXTEEN CAN ACTUALLY ATTEND HIGH
SCHOOL AND WORKED QUICKLY OR OR
THROUGH SUMMERS ARE EVENINGS TO
ACQUIRE THE COMPANY SEES TO GET
A FOUR YEAR DEGREE THOSE ARE THE
KINDS OF INNOVATIONS WERE
LOOKING.
FOR AND SPEAKING OF INNOVATION I
THINK WHAT'S TRICKY FOR ME ABOUT
THE WORD INNOVATION BECAUSE MY
CHARTER NO HE'S NOT PARTICULARLY
INNOVATIVE.
BUT I WILL SAY THIS IN FACT ART
MY TURN OVER HE'S ACTUALLY
COMPRISED ALMOST ENTIRELY A
FORMER -- UST SCHOOLS THAT
CONVERTED TO CHARTER SCHOOLS FOR
VARIOUS SINCE OVER THE YEARS.
AND I WILL SAY THIS I THINK ONE
OF THE THINGS THAT OAKLAND NEEDS
FOR INNOVATION IS.
BETTER PERFORMANCE FOR BLACK AND
BROWN KIDS IF THAT'S NOT
INNOVATIVE IT'S A PROBLEM
BECAUSE WE'RE GOING INTO IT
FIFTY SIXTY YEARS OF UNDER
PERFORMANCE. FOR BLACK AND BROWN
KIDS IN THE DEFAULT PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT'S THE STATUS
QUO AND SO IT IS DISRUPTIVE TO
ACTUALLY HAVE HIGH PERFORMING
BLACK AND BROWN KIDS IN OAKLAND
BECAUSE IT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
AND I UNDERSTAND HERS AREN'T
ALWAYS THE ANSWER IN FACT THERE
ARE BAD PLAYERS AND WE ARE VERY
OPEN TO GREATER ACCOUNTABILITY.
WE HAVE A VERY STRONG AUTHORIZED
AN OPEN UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
THEY ARE TOUGH AUTHORIZED -- ARE
COUNTIES A TOUGH AUTHORIZED --
AUTHORIZING PLAYS A BIG ROLE IN
ACCOUNTABILITY -- IT'S A TOUGH
PLACE TO RUN A CHARTER SCHOOL IF
YOU'RE NOT A GOOD PLAYER.
AND I WILL SAY THIS I THINK THE
CLOSING DOORS TO POTENTIALLY
INCREASING OUTCOMES FOR KIDS
WE'VE NOT SEEN OUTCOMES FOR
DECADES WORRIES ME IT MIGHT NOT
BE INNOVATIVE IN IN TERMS OF
LIKE ENGINEERING OR STEM.
BUT IT'S AND IT'S TRULY INNOVATE
IN TERMS OF LIKE KIDS AND AND
COMMUNITIES IN OAKLYN ARE
EXPERIENCING.
I WOULD ONLY THANK YOU NO NO NO
NO NO NO NO.
I WOULD ONLY GOT A GAME -- DO WE
HAVE ANOTHER SPEAKER.
IN OTHER NO AND CONNECT YOU
REMEMBER WHICH IS [inaudible]
NUMBER OKAY.
NO ONE DOWN THERE MISS SMITH.
IS A FOLLOW UP TO THAT SO I
pREMARKS.
AND HERE'S MY THOUGHT WITH THIS
BILL BECAUSE I LIKE AS I JUST
SAID I CAME OF NINE YEARS AS A
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBER.
I ALSO KNOW THAT IN THE
DISTRICTS THE COMMUNITIES THAT I
SERVE WE HAVE SOME HIGHLY
EFFECTIVE CHARTERS I'M THE HOME
TO THE GRANADA HILLS CHARTER
HIGH SCHOOL MULTIPLE TIME WINNER
OF THE STATE'S ACADEMIC
DECATHLON.
I REPRESENT AND I LEAD AS HE AYE
AYE LEAD SCHOOLS SELF DIRECTED
LEARNING FOR STUDENTS -- A
NUMBER THAT ARE CHARTER THROUGH
OUR LOCAL HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT
HAVE BEEN HIGHLY SUCCESSFUL IN
SERVING STUDENTS WITH VERY
DIVERSIFIED BUT SPECIFIC NEEDS.
AND SO MY HOPE AS SOMEBODY WHO'S
BEEN A GOVERNING BOARD MEMBER
AND WHO KNOWS THE SIGNIFICANCE
AND THE IMPORTANCE OF THAT KIND
OF RELATIONSHIP IN ESTABLISHING
WHAT THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT
INTENDED.
WHICH WAS DRIVING INNOVATION.
ELIMINATING THE ACHIEVEMENT GAP
AND FOCUSING ON STUDENT SUCCESS
THAT THE CLOSER THAT
RELATIONSHIP IS AND THE MORE
THAT WE TAKE OUT THE HIGHER
INSTITUTIONS OF APPROVAL LIKE
THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION
THAT REALLY HAS NO RELATIONSHIP
TO THAT LOCAL DYNAMIC.
THE BETTER OFF STUDENT SUCCESS
IS GOING TO BE ACROSS THE BOARD.
SO I DO PLAN TO SUPPORT THIS
MEASURE TODAY I LOOK FORWARD TO
FUTURE WORK THAT WE MAY DO AFTER
THE GOVERNOR'S TASK FORCE IS
DONE AND WRAPS UP AND GIVES US A
REPORT ON WHAT THEY THINK MIGHT
FURTHER IMPROVE THIS
RELATIONSHIP.
BUT I THINK I'VE BEEN PRETTY
CLEAR WITH EVERYBODY ALL ALONG
FROM MY OWNCOMMUNITY TO THE
FOLKS ON THIS COMMITTEE THAT
WHAT I CARE ABOUT IS GETTING
BACK TO THE ORIGINAL INTENT.
OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL MOVEMENT.
MAKING SURE THAT WE ARE FOCUSED
ON STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AND I
WANT EVERYBODY OUT OF THEIR
SILOS AND TO STOP THROWING BOMBS
FROM OTHER SIDES OF THE AISLE
AND FOCUS ON WHAT THAT
MEANINGFUL WORK IS ABOUT.
REGARDLESS OF THE KIND OF
NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL AND THE KIND
OF PUBLIC SCHOOL THAT THEY ARE
SO I APPRECIATE YOUR TIME AND
CONSIDERATION ON THAT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU ARE THERE ANY OTHER
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE THAT
WAS TO SPEAK DOCTOR WEBER GOING.
YES OF I WANT TO FIRST OF ALL
THANK -- MY COLLEAGUES WHO.
BROUGHT THIS FORWARD I REALIZE
IT.
IS THAT YOUR HEART IN THE RIGHT
PLACE AND SO I DON'T THINK
THAT'S A PART OF IT ANY
MALICIOUS OR PLATEN PLAN AGAINST
I HOPE NOT AGAINST CHARTER
SCHOOLS.
AS MOST OF YOU KNOW I I JUDGE
EVERYTHING THAT COMES IN -- ON
ITS MERIT IN WHERE THE NOT IT'S
BENEFICIAL TO CHILDREN.
AND CLEARLY IT BRINGS ME GREAT
CONCERN TO SEE THE SIGNIFICANT
NUMBER OF BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE
HERE TALKING ABOUT WANTING
SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND FOR
THEIR CHILDREN -- ESPECIALLY IN
LIGHT OF WHAT WE KNOW.
GENERALLY HAPPENS IN MANY PUBLIC
SCHOOLS WITH REGARDS TO BLACK
AND BROWN KIDS WILL POUR -- HAVE
BEEN UNDERSERVED ANDAND IT'S
UNFORTUNATE THAT THE CRITICAL
QUESTION IS NOT BEING ASKING IS
WHAT IS BEST FOR CHILDREN.
I THINK WE CAN IDENTIFY THE
ECONOMIC ISSUES THAT WE HAVE
CREATED FOR OURSELVES -- THE MAY
OR MAY NOT HAVE SOME VALIDITY --
I AM CONCERNED AND I EXPRESSED
TO SOME OF THE AUTHORS OF THAT --
I'M THAT PRETTY MUCH THIS THIS
THIS DISCUSSION TODAY IS A DONE
DEAL BECAUSE FOUR OF THE SIX
MEMBERS ON THIS.
ON THE DAY AS OUR CO AUTHORS OF
OF THIS BILL SELF OF THIS BILL
AND ALL THE OTHER CHARTER BILL
SELF.
BUT IT'S GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU
ANYWAY SO I DON'T FEEL LIKE
THERE'S A WHOLE LOT OF ROOM FOR
PERSUASION BUT SIMPLY LET ME SAY
THAT -- I AM CONCERNED THAT THE
GOVERNOR.
AND THE SUPERINTENDENT HAVE
FORMED A TASK FORCE.
WHOSE TASK IS TO ANSWER SOME OF
THESE QUESTIONS ABOUT
AUTHORIZATION.
YOU WHERE SHOULD BE HOPEFULLY
ACCOUNTABILITY THAT SHOULD BE IN
THERE AND EVEN NOW MORE RECENTLY
THE IMPACT ECONOMICS HAS ON THE
CHART OF SYSTEM -- I JUST LOOKED
AT AND OF A LETTER FROM THE
STATE SUPERINTENDENT ABOUT THE
MEETINGS A PAD AND THE GOAL THAT
THEY HAVE TO RELEASE THE REPORT
BY JULY.
ONE SO I'M CONCERNED THAT I
DON'T HAVE ALL THE INFORMATION.
NOT UNBIASED INFORMATION ABOUT
WHAT CHARTER SCHOOLS ACTUALLY DO
AND THE IMPACT THEY HAVE ON OUR
SCHOOLS.
NOW IS NO QUESTION THAT AFTER
TWENTY SIX YEARS -- THERE'S A
NEED FOR A SERIOUS DISCUSSION
ABOUT CHARTERS IN CALIFORNIA.
AND OVERSIGHT OF CHARTERS -- AND
WHAT IS REASONABLE FOR A
DISTRICT WHAT PERCENTAGE OF
CHARTERS IS REASONABLE FOR
DISTRICT THAT THEY CAN ACTUALLY
MANAGE AND SUPERVISE.
THE WHAT WE'RE GETTING READY TO
DO WITH THAT AND SOME OTHER
BILLS WOULD WITH TAX AND THIS
AND THIS DOESN'T REALLY ADDRESS
THAT.
BECAUSE OF OAKLAND IS ONE THIRD
CHARTER IS THAT A REASONABLE
PERCENTAGE FOR THE FOR THE
ADMINISTRATION OF THAT DISTRICT
ACTUALLY SUPERVISE THAT NUMBER
SINCE YOU'RE CAPPING IT AT THAT
THOUGH STILL BE A 30%.
AND SO THE QUESTION THEN BECOMES
IS THAT THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY
THAT WE HAVE FOR CHART IS NOT
ONLY TO BE OPERATED BY A BOARD
THAT HAS GOOD OVERSIGHT IS THAT
ENOUGH.
AND WHAT IMPACT DOES THAT HAVE
WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE ENOUGH
OVERSIGHT AND WE SEEN THAT IN
OTHER PLACES WHAT HAPPENS TO
BOARDS THAT ARE BAD ACTORS.
WHO ACTUALLY MAKE LOTS OF
CHARTERS AND DO NO OVERSIGHT YOU
KNOW DO WE TAKE AWAY THEIR RIGHT
TO CHART I MEAN I THINK THERE'S
SOME REALLY SERIOUS QUESTIONS
THAT WE NEED TO ASK THIS NOT?
BEING ASKED AND SERVE OTHER
LEGISLATION THAT WE SEE THIS
COMING FOR I'VE HEARD THE RUMORS
I KNOW WHAT PEOPLE SAY I'VE
LOOKED AT IT.
AND THEN I KNOW THE TRANSPARENCY
POLICE IS GOOD AND WE WE BOTH
GREASE FOLKS GREAT TO THAT.
BUT I'M JUST CONCERNED THAT THAT
THE REAL ISSUES AFFECTING
CHARTERS AND THEIR EFFECTIVENESS
IN THE STATE ARE NOT REALLY
BEING ANSWER.
NOW MY YOU KNOW MY INVOLVEMENT
WITH CHARTER SCHOOLS WAY BACK
PROBABLY MORE THAN ANYBODY IN
THIS ROLE.
BECAUSE I WAS CHAIR OF THE NO
ONE ONE SEVENTY FOUR CAMPAIGN IN
NINETEEN NINETY THREE I WAS
CHAIR OF THE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
AND I'VE FOUGHT AGAINST VOUCHERS.
AND I KNOW THAT A PART OF THE
NEGOTIATION OUT OF THAT CAME
CHARTER.
WHICH IS FINE AND AND THE WHOLE
IDEA OF SHARING INFORMATION AND
ALL THAT OTHER STUFF AND WE'VE
GONE COMPLETELY IN A DIFFERENT
DIRECTION IT SEEMS AS IF THE YOU
KNOW THAT MOST OF THE
CONVERSATION HAS NOT BEEN.
FRIENDLY SUPPORTIVE
CONVERSATIONS EVEN THOUGH I KNOW
THERE ARE SOME SCHOOL BOARDS AND
A SAN DIEGO SOMEONE THAT
ACTUALLY WORKS WITH CHARTERS.
AND HAS DONE SOME GOOD WORK WITH
CHARTERS AND AND AUTHORIZES
REASONABLE CHARTERS BUT I KNOW
THAT RUMORS AND ALL KINDS OF
THINGS AND YET I DON'T REALLY
NECESSARILY SEE THIS BEING
ADDRESSED HERE.
THAT HAS TO BE ADDRESSED AND
IT'S NOT BEING ADDRESSED IN
TERMS OF WHAT WHAT HOW AS WE
MOVE FORWARD.
WHAT'S THE BEST WAY TO DO IT --
AND WHETHER NOT WAS THE ECONOMIC
ISSUES REGARDING CHART IS WHAT
THIS WAS THE REAL ECONOMIC ISSUE
WHAT'S A REASONABLE NUMBER OF
CHARTERS THAT SHOULD EXIST IN
RELATIONSHIP TO THE SIZE OF THE
DISTRICT.
I MEAN THESE ARE SOME IMPORTANT
ISSUES THAT TO ME STILL ARE NOT
ADDRESSED AND AND SO WHEN I SAW
THE THREE BILLS COME FORWARD.
WITH THE WOOD FOR THE AUTHORS
FROM THIS COMMITTEE I BASICALLY
SAID WAS A DONE DEAL.
YOU KNOW IT'S A DONE DEAL THAT
THIS IS THE DECISION THEY MADE
AND THAT MY COLLEAGUES IN MAY TO
MOVE FORWARD WITH I THINK GREAT
INTENTIONS BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT
OF DISCUSSION.
AROUND CHARTERS AND MANY OF YOU
AS PARENTS HAVE -- YOU DON'T
HAVE EXPRESSED THAT INTEREST BUT
I'D STILL ASK THE QUESTION AND I
WILL CONTINUE TO ASK A QUESTION
WHAT'S BEST FOR KIDS.
AND WHY DO SO MANY PARENTS FEEL
SOUL DESPERATE. FOR A CHARTER.
YOU KNOW WHAT I FIND THIS TO BE
TRUE THAT THEY SEE THIS IS THE
ONLY HOPE THEY HAVE THE ONLY
ANSWER THEY HAVE A MEET AND I
HEAR THIS REGULARLY FROM PARENTS.
AND WHAT I SHARED A DON'T SHARE
THEIR THEIR VIEW OF THAT THE
REALITY IS WE HAVE TO ASK
OURSELVES THE QUESTION.
WHY IS IT THAT THERE'S SUCH A
TREMENDOUS INTEREST IN CIARA'S
WE CAN TALK ABOUT THE ECONOMIC
PIECE AND THERE'S SOME BAD
ACTORS OUT THERE THAT ARE MAKING
A BUNDLE ON CHARTERS AND THEN
GETTING UP THE BUSINESS OF
WHATEVER THEY'RE DOING?
BUT WE STILL HAVE TO ASK THE
QUESTION WHY ARE FOLKS SO
WILLING TO DO CHARTERS WE LIVE
RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO A PUBLIC
SCHOOL ALL RIGHT DOWN THE STREET
FROM A PUBLIC SCHOOL AND THEY
WANT TO GO TO A CHARTER.
YOU KNOW AND SO I I THINK
THERE'S STILL A LOT OF QUESTIONS
THAT HAVE TO BE ASK I'M NOT
GOING TO VOTE FOR THIS BILL I'M
GOING TO STAY OFF OF IT.
BECAUSE I DON'T THINK WE HAVE A
RIGHT THAT YOU ALL THE
INFORMATION YET AND LIKE I SAID
I LOOK FORWARD TO THE COMMITTEE
THAT WAS FORMED.
BY THE GOVERNOR AND THE STATE
SUPERINTENDENT TO BASICALLY
PROGRAMS A LOT OF THESE ISSUES
AND HELP US COME TO A CONCLUSION
ABOUT WHAT IS BEST -- WITH
REGARDS TO CHARTERS AND I I
STILL LOOK FORWARD TO THAT
INFORMATION I'LL SEE WHAT
HAPPENS WHEN IT COMES IN IS HOW
IT AFFECTS THESE THREE BILLS
THAT ARE HERE.
BUT I CAN'T IN GOOD CONSCIENCE
VOTE FOR THE BILL'S KNOWING THAT
THAT WE THAT THAT MANY OF US ASK
FOR TASK FORCE.
AND NOW WE HAVE ONE AND IT'S
JUST GOT STARTED AND WE'RE GOING
TO DO SOME MAJOR RESTRUCTURING
OF CHARTERS BEFORE WE HAVE THE
INFORMATION BUT I WOULD THINK MY
COLLEAGUES FOR THINKING ABOUT IT
IT IS A CRITICAL ISSUE.
I CAN'T SUPPORT IT UNTIL I GET
MORE INFORMATION.
THANK YOU THANK YOU MISTER KILEY.

THINGS YOU SAID MISTER CHAIR SO --

SO IN THAT SITUATION -- WOULD
THE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE
AUTHORIZING DISTRICT BE A VALID
FACTOR TO CONSIDER IN
AUTHORIZING THE CHARTER.
THE ES.
IT'S A NEW CHARTER.
AND UNDERSTANDING UNDERSTAND WHY
WE'RE DOING THIS -- BECAUSE
THERE ARE NOW MORE CHARTERS IN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA THEN
THERE ARE SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
AND WE HAVE A VARIETY UNDER --
FINANCIAL DURESS AND I THINK IT
IS A VALID QUESTION SHOULD NOT
AT ALL.
THE THE ONLY QUESTION IS ASKED
UPON APPROVAL BUT IT IS A VALID
QUESTION TO ASK.
IF THAT IS -- FINANCIALLY
IMPACTFUL AND IN FACT CAN THE
CHARTER.
BE SUSTAIN FINANCIALLY.
TO OKAY I JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR
YOU SAID THAT IF YOU'RE A GOOD
CHARTER OPERATOR YOU HAVE
NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT.
BUT YOU KNOW SOMEONE OR OFTEN
THIS BILL BECAUSE YOU WANT OPEN
ANOTHER SCHOOL DOING PROVIDE
OPPORTUNITY TO MORE KIDS.
YOU WOULD HAVE A FACTOR OTHER
THAN THE ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT
AND THE PERFORMANCE OF THAT
SCHOOL BE ROB IS THAT RIGHT.
WELL YOU WOULD.
IT'S A FIGHT AT THE FINANCIAL
QUESTION WOULD BE ON PAR WITH
THE OTHERS WHICH I THINK IT'S
IT'S A VALID QUESTION ACT ASK.
IT IS VALID TO ASK WHAT
FINANCIAL IMPACT A NEW SCHOOL
WOULD HAVE.
AS FAR AS THAT STREET SCHOOL
BEING ABLE TO BE SUSTAINED OR
ITS IMPACT ON OTHER SCHOOLS.
WHAT -- I MEAN HOW WOULD.
HOW WOULD YOU ESTABLISH THIS --
YOU KNOW THE NEW FACTOR IS.
NEGATIVE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE
DISTRICT -- WHAT EVIDENCE WOULD
YOU HAVE TO SHOW TO SUBSTANTIATE
THAT THERE BE A NEGATIVE
FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE DISTRICT
UNDER THIS BILL?
WELL I'M SURE THERE WOULD BE AN
APPLICATION PROCESS WHERE THAT
INFORMATION WOULD BE ASCERTAINED
SO EVEN IF IT'S A VERY MINOR
NEGATIVE FINANCIAL IMPACT ON THE
DISTRICT WOULD IT COULD A
CHARTER BE DENIED ON THAT BASIS.
I WOULD THINK -- BOARD WOULD
TAKE THE SITUATION IN TOTALITY
AND MAKE AN ACTION BASED ON THE
INFORMATION THEY'VE BEEN
PROVIDED BUT IT WOULD BE LAWFUL
FOR A BOARD TO DENY CHARTER ON
THE BASIS OF A NEGATIVE.
EVEN A MINOR NEGATIVE FINANCIAL
IMPACT ON THE DOESN'T THAT RIGHT
I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S TRUE
[inaudible]
AND AGAIN.
I'M NOT ON THE LOCAL BOARD.
OKAY BUT I FOR ASK ABOUT THE LAW
THAT YOU'RE SEEKING TO MAKE THE
GOVERNOR'S THESE THINGS AND WHAT
WE'RE SEEKING TO DO IS. THREE
CHART RETURN THOSE DECISIONS THE
LOCAL LEVEL BASED ON A VARIETY
OF FACTORS.
WELL LET'S TALK ABOUT THAT SO
YOU YOU SAID YOU WANT TO RETURN
DECISIONS TO THE LOCAL LEVEL AND
I THINK YOU TALKED ABOUT.
WHAT AUTHORIZES SHOPPING WAS AT
THE TERM?
AND YOU MADE THE ARGUMENT THAT
THERE IS.
GREATER DEMOCRATIC
ACCOUNTABILITY -- WITHIN THE
AUTHORIZED -- WHEN THAT WHEN
THAT CHARTER IS WITHIN THE
BOUNDARIES OF THE AUTHORIZES
SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS A ARGUMENT?
YES YEAH WHAT WE HAVE NOW IS A
SITUATION WHERE.
CHARTERS ARE BEING AUTHORIZED
FAR AWAY FROM THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT THEY MAY SIT IN.
AND THERE IS LITTLE TO NO
OVERSIGHT OF THESE CHAR'S WHAT
WE FOUND AYE AYE TO I TALKED
ABOUT THE ARTICLES WE HAVE
PEOPLE MAKING LOTS OF MONEY OFF
THESE CHARTERS.
KIDS NOT BEING SERVED WELL AND
IT TURNS OUT TO BE A RATHER
UNFORTUNATE SITUATION FOR THE
STUDENTS.
AND AND AND AND THE THE THE
AUTHORIZED.
FOR SO WHAT ABOUT COUNTS THAT
COUNTIES HAVE DEMOCRATIC
DEMOCRATIC ACCOUNTABILITY --
THEY'RE MORE MEMBERS ARE
POPULARLY ELECTED -- YET THIS
BILL SEEKS TO FOR ALL INTENTS
AND PURPOSES ELIMINATE THE ROLE --
WHY IS DEMOCRATIC ACCOUNTABILITY
NOT GOOD ENOUGH WHEN IT COMES TO
THE COUNTY?
BUT WELL FIRST OF ALL WE'RE NOT
TOTALLY ELIMINATING THE ROLE BUT
WE'RE SAYING IS IT SHOULD BE A
LOCAL DECISION WERE CHAIRED AND
WERE RETURNING DECISIONS TO
LOCAL BASIS.
OKAY SO WHY IS I I'M NOT I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT YOU BUT I'M A FIRM
SUPPORTER OF LOCAL CONTROL AND
THAT'S WHAT THIS BILL DOES.
IT FALL IT FALLS BACK ON THE
LOCALS.
OUR COUNTY IS NOT LOCAL DECISION
MAKERS.
THE REGIONAL DECISION MAKERS I
WOULD SAY THEY'RE VERY MUCH
LOCAL DECISION OKAY SO WHY IS IT
THAT.
I MEAN WHY IS THAT A DISTINCTION
THAT MATTERS IN THIS CONTEXT.
YOU TELL ME.
WELL NOW YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S
ACTUALLY PUTTING THAT
DISTINCTION THE LAW SO I THINK
YOU WANT TO TELL ME WELL IT'S
IT'S IT'S A GENERALLY UNDERSTOOD
CONCEPT THAT COUNTIES MAKE
DECISIONS ON A REGIONAL BASIS.
AND FOR INSTANCE A SCOLD SCHOOL
DISTRICT MAKES DECISIONS ON A
VERY LOCAL -- BASIS ONLY WITHIN
THE CONFINES.
OF THAT DISTRICT SO WE'RE
SEEKING TO DO IS ALLOW THAT
DISTRICT WHICH MANAGES THAT.
THAT.
WITHIN THE CONFINES THAT
BOUNDARY TO MAKE THE DECISIONS
NOT TO PASS IT ON TO SOMEONE WHO
WOULD NOT.
A REALLY BE ABLE TO PROVIDE
OVERSIGHT ON ON I SEE
COOPERATION AND A VERY LOCAL
BASIS UNDERSTAND SOME THESE ARE
HUNDREDS OF MILES AWAY.
FROM WHERE THE SCHOOL SIT SO
HE'S AUTHORIZE OR SITS FAR FAR
AWAY STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION TO
TALK HOW FAR AWAY FROM SOME OF
THESE ARE THAT IS AN ANSWER.
SEVENTIES SO THESE CHARTER
SCHOOLS SIT FAR FAR AWAY FROM
THE STATE BOARD OF EDUCATION.
AND THEY'RE JUST IS NOT ADEQUATE
OVERSIGHT I THINK YOU'VE SEEN
PEOPLE GOING TO JAIL.
YOU SEEN CHARTERS CLOSING
OVERNIGHT YOU SEEN FINANCIAL
DISASTERS AND I THINK TODAY WE
NEED TO FIX THAT OKAY I WAS
TALKING ABOUT COUNTIES SO SOME
COUNTIES ARE ACTUALLY SMALLER
THAN SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS -- I
THINK THAT MOST PEOPLE CAN TELL
YOU WHAT COUNTY THEY LIVE IN A
LOT OF YOU MIGHT EVEN KNOW WHAT
SCHOOL DISTRICT THEY HAPPEN TO
BE AND SO WHY IT.
IS THAT NOT CONSIDERED A FORM OF
LOCAL CONTROL BUT SHOULD BE
AVAILABLE FOR CHARTER AUTHORIZED.
BECAUSE AGAIN WE'RE DOING WHAT
WE'RE SEEKING TO DO IS RETURN
THE DECISION OF LOCAL CONTROL A
LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT.
HAS CONTROL OVER ITS OWN
BOUNDARIES AND AND AND I SUPPORT
THAT YOU MAY NOT I DO.
AT A COUNTY DOES NOT HAVE
CONTROL OVER ITS OWN BOUNDARIES
[inaudible]
I'M SORRY.
BUT WHATEVER I COUNTY DOES NOT
HAVE CONTROL OVER ITS OWN
BOUNDARIES THAT WE'RE SAYING
[inaudible]
SURE DOES [inaudible]
OKAY.
LET'S GO ON TO A THE PORTION OF
THIS BILL.
THAT WOULD ELIMINATE GROWTH IN
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AS THE MOST
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CHARTER REAL
WHAT'S THE REASON FOR THAT.
I'M SORRY ONE MORE TIME WHY DOES
THE BELL THE MINUTE GROWTH IN
ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT IS THE MOST
IMPORTANT FACTOR IN CHARTER
RENEWAL -- DOESN'T IT IT DOES
NOT.
IT IS STILL A FACTOR IT IS STILL
A FACTOR BUT IT'S NO LONGER THE
PRIMARY FACTOR WHY DO YOU THINK
THAT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT SHOULD
NOT BE THE PRIMARY FACTOR.
WELL IT PUTS IT ON PAR WITH
OTHER FACTORS BECAUSE WE'VE HAD
SOME CHARTER THAT ARE VERY
SUCCESSFUL BUT OUR FINANCIAL
DISASTERS WE HAVE TO THE TRI
VALLEY EXAMPLE.
WHERE IN A CHARTER -- CHARTER
WENT BANKRUPT WHEN OUT OF
BUSINESS YET THE THE BUILDING
THEY BOUGHT WITH PUBLIC MONEY
ENDED UP IN PRIVATE HANDS.
THE BUILDING WAS WORTH A LOT OF
MONEY THE STUDENTS MIGHT HAVE
BEEN SUCCESSFUL WITH THE SCHOOLS
GOING DOWN THE TUBES FINANCIALLY.
SO THERE'S A BALANCE TO BE FOUND --
BUT LISTEN I'M AS A CLASSROOM
TEACHER I WANT STUDENT SUCCESS I
WANT OUR STUDENTS TO MOVE
FORWARD.
WITH US IF IF CHARTER IS -- IS
IS IS IS FINANCIALLY CHALLENGED
I THINK THAT'S SOMETHING WE DO
NEED TO LOOK I THINK WE HAVE A
RESPONSIBILITY TO PAY ATTENTION
THE PHYSICAL ASPECT OF ANY
GOVERNMENTAL OPERATION.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA YOU
MAY NOT YOU MIGHT NOT AGREE WITH
THAT BUT THAT'S MY PERCEPTION MY
POSITION.
THAT'S OFTEN UP.
THANK YOU -- THAT -- MISTER
KALRA.
THANK YOU SO MUCH THAT I REALLY
PERSON DIALOG.
PUSH THE DOWN ESPECIALLY AS OF
LATE SO THE CONVERSATION FROM
THE CHARTER EXPLICA THERE'S ROOM
FOR A LOT OF COMMON GROUND AND I
THINK THAT'S SOMETHING THAT.
OPTICALLY WITH THE AMENDMENT AND
THE CLARITY THERE I THINK THAT --
THAT'S SOMETHING THAT THAT -- IS
A TAKE AWAY FROM ALL OF US IS
THAT -- NO ONE WANTS ANYONE
WHETHER IT'S A TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOL OR A CHARTER
SCHOOL TO BEA POOR PERFORMER I
I THINK THAT WE WANT TO DO OUR
BEST UP THAT ALL CHILDREN ALL
SCHOOLS.
AND I'M HOPEFUL THAT WITH THE
THE CLARIFICATION -- THAT'LL BE
FORTHCOMING THAT THAT HELPS
ALLEVIATE SOME OF THE CONCERNS
AT LEAST FROM THE SCHOOLSTHAT
ARE CURRENTLY OPERATING IN
OPERATING WELL -- AND IF THERE'S
FURTHER NEEDS FOR CONVERSATION
AMENDMENTS WHAT HAVE YOU THE
DIALOGUE CONTINUES IS THE FIRST
COMMITTEE HEARING.
I'VE NEVER YEAH I WOULD I WON
THIS ONE OF MY THIRD YEAR I'VE
NEVER SEEN A BILL THAT'S
INTRODUCED THAT ISN'T AMENDED --
NUMEROUS TIMES AS IT MAKES ITS
WAY THROUGH THE LEGISLATIVE
PROCESS AND SO -- IT'S REALLY
REALLY IMPORTANT TO GET FEEDBACK
IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT.
AND APPRECIATED EVERYONE THAT
CAME ON BOTH SIDES TO PROVIDE
THAT BE BACK -- BECAUSE THAT
THAT IN ADDITION.
TO CLEARLY UP SOME OF THE THE
THE STAKEHOLDERS HAVE GREATER
EXPERTISE -- CONTINUING THE
DIALOGUE HELPS. NINE TIMES OUT
OF TEN TO MAKE IT BETTER BILL.
AND TO IMPROVE ON THE BILL AND
CREATE CLARITY WHERE IT'S
NECESSARY AS HAS BEEN SICK --
DEMONSTRATED BY THE CHAIR.
AND SO -- I ALSO -- SHE DOCTOR
WEBER'S COMMENTS THAT WE HAVE TO
HAVE SUPPORT OF CONVERSATIONS.
THAT THE AND THAT'S AND THAT'S A
A TWO WAY STREET BOTH IN TERMS
OF COLLEAGUES DOING ONE OTHER
BUT ALSO IN TERMS OF DIFFERENT
STAKEHOLDERS.
IS GONNA BE IT OF OF A
COLLABORATIVE EFFORT WERE AT
LEAST THERE'S UNDERSTANDING THAT --
THAT.
THE GOOD THE ULTIMATE GOALS AS
STATED BY DOCTOR WEBER NEED TO
BE SIMILAR OR THE SAME HOLE FOR
THE SAME OR SOMETIMES IT CAN BE
THE SAME ONLY SIMILAR.
IN THE SENSE OF ENSURING THAT
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT.
THE OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN AND
WE'RE ALSO TALKING ABOUT THE
FACT THESE A PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT
REQUIRED THE SAME KIND OF
ACCOUNTABILITY THAN ANYTHING
ELSE THAT IS FUNDED BY TAXPAYERS
REQUIRES.
AND SO I THINK THAT THERE IS A
COMMON GROUND THAT CAN BE HAD
HERE.
WE ALSO RARELY SEE BILLS THAT
HAVE A 100% UNANIMOUS SUPPORT ON
EVERY ITEM BUT I THINK THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT.
THAT I KNOW THE CHAIR OF HIM
HAVING SERVED ON THIS COMMITTEE
AND SEEN HUNDREDS OF THE HOUSE
COMPASS ME THE CHAIR ALWAYS.
TRIES TO STRIVE FOR AN AND BEING
OBVIOUSLY HAVE A PRIMARY
AUTHORED THIS BILL WILL CONTINUE
TO DO SO AND I AND I JUST WANNA
MAKE MAYES WAS A MENTION OF AND
I AND I TOLD I NEED TO BECAUSE I
WAS.
VERY SPECIFICALLY MENTION
REGARDS TO IN A SCHOOL DISTRICT
ALUM ROCK AND JUST TO MAKE IT
VERY CLEAR I THINK THAT ANYONE
HAS PAID ATTENTION DOWN OCT
KNOWS THAT.
I CALLED FOR THE AUDIT OF THE
ALAMO SCHOOL DISTRICT I
SUPPORTED THE GRAND JURY
RECOMMENDATION TO THAT THREE OF
THE BOARD MEMBERS SHOULD RESIGN --
SINCE THEN TWO OF THE MEMBER OUR
PLACE TO DEMOCRATIC ELECTIONS --
THE SUPERINTENDENT WAS UNFAIRLY
TARGETED BY THE PREVIOUS BOARD
MAJORITY.
HAD BEEN -- TRYING HER BEST TO
WORK WITH THE STATE AND THE
COUNTY OFFICE OF EDUCATION AND
AND SUBSEQUENTLY HAS SUPPORTED
ALL OF THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF
SUPPORTER IN THAT WORK.
AND WITH THE NEW BORDER MAJORITY
I HOPE -- EFFECTIVE FORMS BE PUT
IN PLACE BECAUSE I BOARD.
THE BOYS ACTUAL HARM PUT ALL
SCHOOLS CHARTER AND OTHERWISE
AND IF THERE'S SOME AGREEMENT
THAT WE HAVE -- I HOPE -- BUT
ANYONE THAT'S BEEN PAYING
ATTENTION ALUM ROCK THAT IT'S IN
A BETTER PLACE NOW IN TERMS OF
CHANGES IN THE LEADERSHIP.
IS A LOT AUDIT RECOMMENDATIONS
THAT WE NEED TO BE VOLATILE
BLACKED OUT THE NEED TO AT LEAST
MENTION THAT.
IS WAS VERY SPECIFICALLY
MENTIONED AND AND I THINK THAT
WITH THE I. I HOPE THERE'S
AGREEMENT REGARDLESS OF WHAT
SIDE YOU'RE ON ON THIS
PARTICULAR BILL.
THAT OUR BROUGHT NEEDS TO
CONTINUE TO CHANGE AND MOVE IN
THE RIGHT DIRECTION AND
HOPEFULLY ALL CAN WORK TO
CERTAINLY MAKE THAT HAPPEN AND
SO.
WITH THAT -- I I I I WANT TO
EXPRESS GRATITUDE TO EVERYONE
THAT CAME TODAY EVERYONE ON BOTH
SIDES PROVIDING EXPERTISE.
BECAUSE I THINK THAT AGAIN THAT
EXPERTISE IS GOING TO BE NEEDED.
GOING FORWARD TO ENSURE THAT THE
GOOD WORK OF MY COLLEAGUES I AND
AGAIN AS DR WEBER SAID AND I
AGREE A 100% -- WILL CERTAINLY
IS A PRINCE ACOSTA I CERTAINLY
AGREE THAT THEIR INTENTIONS ARE
GOOD I WOULDN'T HAVE SIGNED ON
IF I DIDN'T BELIEVE THE
INTENTIONS WERE GOOD.
AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE GOOD IN
GOING FORWARD AND SO I LOOK
FORWARD TO CONTINUED -- DEBATE
AND AS THIS BILL MOVES FORWARD
AND AS A DOES MOVE FORWARD IF
THERE ARE RECOMMENDATIONS THAT
COME FORTH OUT FROM THE GOVERNOR
SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC
INSTRUCTIONS.
AS INDICATED BY THE CHAIR --
THAT THAT CERTAINLY CAN BE
ACCOUNTED FOR GOING FORWARD AS
WELL -- SO WITH SO AGAIN THANK
YOU TO EVERYONE THAT CAME FOR
TODAY [inaudible]
UP.
THE MOTION IS TO PASS TO
APPROPRIATIONS AND I'M SORRY I
JOIN AUTHOR I DID NOT LIKE YOU
TO RESPOND TO MR KYLIE'S
QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO ADD TO THOSE.
PLEASE ADDED AN OTHERWISE YOU
MAY HANDLE THE CLOTHES THANK YOU
THE MOTIONS TO PASS TO
APPROPRIATIONS.
I THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR THANK
YOU COLLEAGUES AND THANK YOU TO
ALL OF OUR WITNESSES WHO
TESTIFIED SUBSTANTIVELY AND ALSO
REGISTER THEIR SUPPORT TODAY.
I JUST WANNA MAKE A COUPLE
COMMENTS ON A NUMBER OF ISSUES
THAT WERE RAISED -- BRIEFLY OUT
ONE IS THERE'S BEEN REPEATED
REFERENCE TO THIS THIS BLUE
RIBBON COMMISSION.
IT'S A BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION
WHO.
ARE WILL BE DIGGING DEEP INTO A
POLICY AREA THAT THAT NEEDS TO
DEEP DIVE THAT WE EAGERLY AWAIT.
THE REPORT FROM IN THERE AND
INPUT FROM -- AND THEY ARE ALSO
NOT THE LEGISLATURE [inaudible]
THAT.
THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT WAS
PASSED BY THE LEGISLATURE SIGNED
BY THE GOVERNOR. TWENTY SEVEN
YEARS AGO.
IT'S OUR ROLE TO TO LOOK IF IT'S
AT THAT SET OF LAWS AND IDENTIFY
WHETHER WHICH ACHIEVING ITS
GOALS.
IF THERE'S UNINTENDED
CONSEQUENCES OF IT CAN BE
STRENGTHENED IMPROVED IF THIS
PLACE TO FIX IT MAKE IT BETTER
MAKE IT STRONGER MAKE IT BETTER
FOR KIDS PARENTS.
TEACHERS SCHOOL DISTRICTS SO
WHILE THE BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION
HAS THE ESSENTIAL ROLE.
AND AND I I APPLAUD THE GOVERNOR
I APPLIED A SUPERINTENDENT
PUBLIC INSTRUCTION FOR THEIR
LEADERSHIP ROLE -- WE WE WILL
AND WE'LL BE LISTENING TO IT AND
INCORPORATING -- ITS IDEAS --
THERE REALLY IS A ROLE FOR THE
LEGISLATURE HERE AND TERMS OF
BEING ELECTED BY THE PEOPLE OF
CALIFORNIA SENT HERE TO ADDRESS
BIG POLICY ISSUES LIKE LIKE THIS
ONE SO -- I I I I I M. I KNOW
IT'LL ADD VALUE TO LOOK FOR TO
IT I JUST WANT TO SORT OF TRY
OUT AND HE'S OUT THAT
DISTINCTION A LITTLE BIT.
ALSO WANT TO SEE A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT THE LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS --
YOU KNOW.
MUCH OF THIS BILL IS ABOUT
PROVIDING.
MORE LOCAL CONTROL IT'S
SOMETHING THAT WE TALK ABOUT SO
MANY TIMES IN THIS BUILDING --
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE FOLKS
TOUT THE IDEA OF LOCAL CONTROL
THAT THOSE NEAREST TO THE
PROBLEM OUR BEST LOCATED TO
PROVIDE THE SOLUTIONS.
AND AFTER THIS BILL DOES AND IN
POWERS OUR OUR LOCAL SCHOOL
BOARD LEADERS WHO ARE.
ELECTED TO STAND UP FOR KIDS AND
PROVIDE -- RACIAL EQUITY AN
OPPORTUNITY AND TO STAND UP FOR
TEACHERS AND PARENTS TO HAVE AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE DECISIONS
THAT ARE BEST FOR THEIR SCHOOL
DISTRICT.
AND THE CONSIDER DIFFERENT
FACTORS THAT ARE RELEVANT.
AND NOT TO BE WILLFULLY BLINDED
TO CERTAIN FACTS THAT COULD BE
RELEVANT TO AN ANALYSIS NOT TO
BE WILLFULLY BLIND AT THE
FINANCIAL IMPACT OR TWO IMPACT
ON FACILITIES BUT TO CONSIDER
THEM -- MANY OF THE SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBERS WILL UP LEFT THE IDEA OF
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT AS THE TOP
ISSUE WILL UP LEFT THE IDEA OF
ACADEMIC SUCCESS AS THEIR TOP
ISSUE.
THAT'S THEIR RIGHT -- BUT THEY
SHOULD ALSO BE ABLE TO AT LEAST
CONSIDER.
OTHER FACTORS LIKE FINANCIAL
IMPACT -- IMPACT ON FACILITIES
THAT TO THIS BILL -- ASKS SO AND
I I WANT TO JUST -- UPLIFT AS A
MEMBER SERVICE MATHS.
CONCEPT I I'VE THOUGHT ABOUT
THIS A LOT AS I'VE GIVEN A LOT
OF THOUGHT TO OUR CURRENT
CHARTER SCHOOL LAW ON THE IDEA
OF OF OF WHAT THE INNOVATIONS
AND GOAL THIS. TO ME THE END
GOAL IS IS.
TO RECAPTURE.
EFFECTIVE IMPACTFUL INNOVATION
APPROACHES SO THAT MORE STUDENTS
CAN BENEFIT FROM AND TO SCALE.
AND IF SOMEONE HAS UNLOCKED -- A
PROCESS FOR HOW -- TO THEN THE
NEEDLE OR ARE THAT.
BEND THE CURVE.
FOR BLACK AND BROWN KIDS AND
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT.
WHY SHOULD THAT BE LIMITED TO
ONE CORNER OF THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT IN ONE SCHOOL? FOR
COUPLES WHY CAN'T IT BE SOME OF
THAT COULD BENEFIT ALL -- BLACK
AND BROWN STUDENTS IN A SCHOOL
DISTRICT AND BEYOND -- SO I JUST
ASK THAT QUESTION NOT TO
ATTRIBUTE ANY -- BLAME BUT JUST
TO SAY THAT THE KIND OF THING I
THINK WE SHOULD BE THINKING
ABOUT GETTING BACK TO BASICS ON
AND I ALSO JUST WANT A DOCTOR
WEBER FOR ALWAYS LOOKING AT
EVERYTHING. THREE JUSTICE LANDS
FOR AN EQUITY THROUGH AN EQUITY
LANDS -- WE MUST AS WE MOVE
FORWARD SHOULD THIS BILL GET OUT
OF THIS COMMITTEE -- KEEP THE S.
S. DO NINETY MINUT OUTCOMES FOR
ALL OF OUR STUDENTS -- FOREMOST
AND MAKE SURE THAT EVERYONE OF
OUR CHILDREN CALIFORNIA HAS AN
OPPORTUNITY TO MEET THE FULL
POTENTIAL REALIZE THEIR DREAMS --
WITHOUT RESPECT ASK THE I'VE ON
THIS BILL.
THANK YOU AGAIN THE MOTION IS TO
PASS TO APPROPRIATIONS PLEASE

.
FIFTEEN OH SIX OKAY WE'RE NOW
GOING TO ITEM NUMBER THIRTY
WHICH IS AB.
FIFTEEN OH SIX MISS MCCARTY'S
GOING TO PRESENT [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS.
I'D FIRST LIKE -- TO THANK YOU
AND THAT COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING WITH US ON THE PROPOSAL
AND WILL BE ACCEPTING THE THAT
COMMITTEE.
SUGGESTED AMENDMENTS.
ESSENTIALLY THIS MEASURE.
I THINK IT IS JUST AS PROBABLY
HEATED FROM THE POLITICS AS A
PRIOR MEASURE BUT I THINK A BIT
MORE SIMPLE.
IN ITS NOT THAT YOU'RE MEASURE
WAS NOT AN IMPORTANT ONE USED TO
SHARE BUT WE'RE GONNA BE TALKING
ABOUT HERE.
IS A BIT MORE OF A SIMPLE --
EQUATION I THINK PEOPLE WITH
WOULD UNDERSTAND.
THIS MEASURE WOULD ESTABLISH A
CAP ON THE NUMBER OF CHARTER
SCHOOLS OPERATING AT BOTH THE
STATEWIDE.
AND LOCAL LEVEL IN CALIFORNIA.
WE KNOW THAT CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
OF COURSE THE LAN THE LANDS
TWENTY SEVEN YEARS AS MR BONTA
ALLUDED.
TO THEY WERE CREATED TO BE --
LABORATORIES OF LEARNING AND
HAVE SERVED A VITAL ROLE.
HOWEVER THIS CHARTER SCHOOL
GROWTH HAS PLAYED A ROLE.
NOT THE ROLE A ROLE IN THE
FINANCIAL INSTABILITY FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
CHARTER SCHOOL GROWTH HAS
REMAINED STEADY IN THE STATE
OVER THE PAST TWENTY YEARS.
LEADING TO MORE AND MORE AND
STABILITY WE ALL KNOW THAT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE FUNDED
BASED UPON ATA AVERAGE DAILY
ATTENDANCE.
AT IS DECLINING STATEWIDE.
THAT MEANS FEWER FUNDING AND
FEWER THAT MEANS LESS FUNDING
AND FEW OPPORTUNITIES FOR
STUDENTS IN SCHOOL DISTRICTS OF
COURSE ETA'S DECLINE BECAUSE OF
THE POPULATION OUR STATE.
BUT ALSO BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH
OF THE CHARTER SCHOOLS
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA.
COMPETITION FOR THESE SCARCE
EIGHTY EIGHT DOLLARS BETWEEN
DISTRICTS AND CHARTER SCHOOL.
BREED STRESS AND TENSION THAT'S
LEADING TO A SCHOOLS WEARING IS.
TO OPEN ADDITIONAL CHARTERS OF
COURSE.
MANY TITLE ONE SCHOOLS FACE
GREAT CHALLENGES WITH EDUCATING
OUR LOWEST INCOME STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA.
A SPREADING FINITE RESOURCES
AMONG BOTH CHARTER SCHOOLS AND
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
NEGATIVELY IMPACTS EQUITY IN
SKIN A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
EVEN IF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT DID
NOT APPROVE THAT CHARTER SCHOOL.
ESSENTIAL WE HAVE THROUGHOUT
CALIFORNIA.
IS WERE FUNDING TO SCHOOL
SYSTEMS.
LIKE A FAMILY.
WITH THAT.
WITH THAT THE I. CAPPED INCOME.
FUNDING TO HOUSEHOLDS.
IT'S NOT SUSTAINABLE.
THIS BILL WILL GRANT SCHOOL
DISTRICT WITH SOME FINANCIAL
RELIEF BY CURBING CHARTER SCHOOL
SCHOOL GROWTH.
IT'S NOT A BAND IT'S NOT A
MORATORIUM HAVE SOME VAST I
THINK THIS IS A FAIR SOLUTION.
IT WON'T CLOSE SCHOOLS AGAIN
THIS WILL NOT CLOSE SCHOOLS.
DESPITE WHICH MANY -- THINK WITH
THE OPPOSITION.
THIS BILL WOULD INSTITUTE A
ROLLING CAP.
MEANING THAT WHEN A CHARTER
SCHOOL CLOSES.
ANOTHER CHARTER SCHOOL MAY TAKE
THAT SLOT
AND WE'RE AND WE'RE WE'RE
ADJUSTING AND AMENDING THE
PROPOSAL NOT ON THE ACTUAL
NUMBER OF SCHOOLS BUT UPON THE
ATA.
SO IN OTHER WORDS KIND OF THINK
ABOUT CAP AND TRADE HERE.
SO IF A FAILING SCHOOL NOT A
GOOD ANALYSIS CAP AND TRADE NOT
A POPULAR PROGRAM.
BUT THE MATHEMATICAL PART ABOUT
CAP AND TRADE.
IS SOMETHING WE WE WE CLEARLY
UNDERSTAND.
SO IF ONE OF THAT.
POOR PERFORMING CHARTER SCHOOL
CLOSES AND WE HAVE A THRIVING
CHARTER SCHOOL LIKE WE HEARD
FROM EARLIER TODAY DRIVING
CHARTER SCHOOLS.
THEY CAN OPEN THIS PLACE.
A ROLLING CAT.
AGAIN THIS RECOGNIZES THAT THE
SIGNIFICANT IMPACT THAT CHARTER
SCHOOLS HAVE ON THE DISTRICT'S.
COMPREHENSIVE EDUCATIONAL
PROGRAM AND FINANCES.
AT THAT TWO THINGS ABOUT THEIR
FINANCES YOU KNOW WE HAVE
DISTRICTS IN FINANCIAL STRESS.
WE'VE HEARD ABOUT LOS ANGELES
WE'VE HEARD ABOUT OAKLAND.
RIGHT HERE IN MY HOMETOWN OF
SACRAMENTO OUR DISTRICT IS
LITERALLY ON THE BRINK.
MAY RUN OUT OF CASH IN THE
COMING MONTHS.
IS IT BECAUSE OF CHARTER SCHOOLS.
PROBABLY NOT PROBABLY WASN'T THE
ISSUE IS IT A FACTOR IT'S GOING
ON AS FAR AS THEIR THEIR
ATTENDANCE.
POTENTIALLY THERE ARE CHARTER
SCHOOL POPULATION TO ABOUT 12%.
ABOUT FIFTY SEVEN HUNDRED
STUDENTS HOWEVER.
IF THAT GREW BY 10% NEXT YEAR TO
THE THEIR FIVE THOUSAND SEVEN
FIVE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY AND THE
YEAR AFTER THAT -- THOUSAND
STUDENTS THAT GROWTH WOULD PUT
THIS DISTRICT ON THE BRINK.
AND THAT'S WERE FACING UP AND
DOWN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
SO THAT'S THE ISSUE WE'RE
LOOKING TO ADDRESS I ALSO WANT
TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE OF THE
REPORT COMING BY OUR GOVERNOR.
AND OUR SUPERINTENDENT.
OUR COLLEAGUE MR BONTA SAID IT
WELL THAT'S THE THOSE ARE TWO
STATEWIDE ELECTED OFFICIALS WERE
THE LEGISLATURE.
WE HAVE A SIGNIFICANT ROLE IN
THIS AS WELL.
BUT SHOULD THIS REPORT COME OUT
WITH SOME GREAT RECOMMENDATIONS --
REST ASSURED THAT THIS BILL WILL
NOT BECOME LAW.
WHEN THAT REPORT COMES OUT WE'LL
BE GOING AT IT AS WE KNOW UNTIL
THE END OF SUMMER END OF AUGUST
EARLY SEPTEMBER?
THE REPORT THAT THE GOVERNOR AND
THE S. P. ARE WORKING ON WILL BE
OUT WITHIN A COUPLE OF MONTHS
AND ALLOW US TO TAKE A LOOK AT
THEIR FINDINGS AND
RECOMMENDATIONS AND POTENTIALLY --
BRIDGE THAT MEANT THE PROPOSAL
WE HAVE HERE -- SO WITH THAT I
WOULD LIKE TO INTRODUCE MIKE MY
TWO WITNESSES -- CLEAR CRAWFORD
SENIOR POLICY ANALYST WITH IN
THE PUBLIC INTEREST MISTER
JEFFREY BEAR SUPERINTENDENT OF A
LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICT THE LOS
ALTOS SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE BAY
AREA.
THANK YOU.
HI I'M CLEAR PRO FOR THE SENIOR
POLICY ADVISER IS IN THE PUBLIC
INTEREST.
AND I'D LIKE TO SHARE FINDINGS
FROM TWO OF OUR REPORTS THAT
DOCUMENT SOME OF THE FISCAL AND
RESULTING.
EDUCATIONAL IMPACT OF
CALIFORNIA'S UNRESTRICTED
CHARTER SECTOR GROWTH ON
DISTRICT PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
I'M AB FIFTEEN OH SIX ALONG WITH
A COMING BILLS BEFORE YOU TODAY
WILL GO ALONG WAY IN ADDRESSING
THESE IMPACTS.
ARE TWENTY SEVENTEEN REPORT
SPENDING BLIND EXAMINED
CALIFORNIA'S ON TARGETED IN
HAPHAZARD SYSTEM FOR FACILITIES
FINANCING OF CHARTER SCHOOLS.
WE FOUND THAT CALIFORNIA'S
CHARTER SCHOOLS HAD RECEIVED
MORE THAN TWO POINT FIVE BILLION
DOLLARS.
IN IN TAXPAYER DOLLARS ARE
TAXPAYERS SUBSIDIZE FUNDS TO
LEASE BUILDER BY SCHOOL
BUILDINGS.
MUCH OF THIS FUNDING WENT TO
SCHOOL THAT OPENED WHERE THERE
ARE ALREADY ENOUGH CLASSROOM
SPACES FOR ALL STUDENTS.
AND TO SCHOOL THAT DID NOT
PROVIDE A BETTER ACADEMIC
OUTCOMES THE NEARBY TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOLS THAT SERVE
DEMOGRAPHICALLY SIMILAR STUDENTS.
WE FOUND THE PUBLIC FACILITIES
FUNDING HAD BEEN
DISPROPORTIONATELY CONCENTRATED
AMONG THE LESS THAN ONE THIRD OF
SCHOOLS THAT ARE OWNED AND
OPERATED BY CHARTER MANAGEMENT
ORGANIZATIONS.
OPERATING CHAINS OF BETWEEN
THREE AND THIRTY SCHOOLS.
SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF PUBLIC
TAX DOLLARS HAD ALSO BEEN USED
BY CMO IS TO BUY PRIVATE
PROPERTY.
OUR SECOND REPORT RELEASED IN --
TWENTY EIGHTEEN DOCUMENTS -- THE
IMPACT ON LOCAL SCHOOL DISTRICTS
SO WHEN A STUDENT LEAVE THE
NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL FOR CHARTER
SCHOOL ALL THE FUNDING FOR THAT
STUDENT LEAVES WITH THEM HOWEVER
NOT ALL THE COSTS.
TO OUR TWENTY EIGHTEEN REPORT
BREAKING POINT DOCUMENTED THESE
NOT COSTS OF CALIFORNIA'S AND
RESTRAINED CHARTER GROWTH WHICH
LEADS TO CUTTING CORE SERVICES
LIKE COUNSELING IN LIBRARIES AND
NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
USING OUR MOST CONSERVATIVE
ESTIMATES WE FOUND THAT OAKLAND
UNIFIED LOST FIFTY SEVEN POINT
THREE MILLION PER YEAR.
THAT'S ABOUT FIFTEEN HUNDRED
LESS PER STUDENT ATTENDING A
NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL THE ANNUAL
COST OF SAN DIEGO UNIFIED WAS
SIXTY FIVE POINT NINE MILLION.
AND HE SAID UNION HIGH SCHOOL
DISTRICT IN SANTA CLARA COUNTY
THE NET IMPACT OF CHARTER
SCHOOLS WAS NINETEEN POINT THREE
MILLION PER YEAR.
AB FIFTY NO SIX WILL HELP ENSURE
THAT STRONG EXISTING CHARTER
SCHOOLS COULD FLOURISH WITHOUT
FURTHER HARMING THE EDUCATION OF
THE 90% OF STUDENTS THAT ATTEND
DISTRICT MANAGED SCHOOLS.
HELLO GOOD AFTERNOON I'M JEFFREY
BEAR I'M SUPERINTENDENT LOS
ALTOS SCHOOL DISTRICT IN SANTA
CLARA COUNTY I'M HERE TODAY TO
SUPPORT ASSEMBLY BILL FIFTY NO
SEX YET WOULD LIKE TO SEE.
MODIFICATION.
I SUPPORT A AP ON THE
ESTABLISHMENT OF NEW CHARTER
SCHOOLS YET A LIMITATION ON
CHARTER SCHOOL ENROLLMENT ALONE
IS OUR ON ENROLLMENT IS ALSO
ESSENTIAL TO MITIGATE THE
NEGATIVE IMPACTS OF CHARTER
SCHOOLS THAT HAVE.
ARE ALREADY OPERATING IN SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AND ROMAN RESTRICTIONS
SUCH AS AN AGGREGATE TOTAL
PERCENTAGE CAP ON STUDENTS
TRANSFERRING TO CHARTER SCHOOLS
WITHIN THE DISTRICT BOUNDARIES.
IS THE MOST EFFECTIVE IMPRECISE
MEANS OF ADDRESSING THAT HAS
GONE DEMOGRAPHIC IMPACTS CHARTER
SCHOOLS CREATE.
A PERCENTAGE ENROLLMENT CAP IS
CONSISTENT WITH THE DISTRICT OF
CHOICE LEGISLATION ALREADY IN
PLACE.
WHICH SAFEGUARD TO LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS FISCAL HEALTH BY
CAPPING THE NUMBER OF OUTBOUND
STUDENT TRANSFERS.
STUDIES SHOW THE CHARTER SCHOOL
GROWTH DRAINS MONEY AWAY FROM
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOL
STUDENTS.
AND THOSE STUDENTS BEAR THE COST
OF ON CHECK CARD CHARTER
EXPANSION UNDER CURRENT LAW WHEN
DISTRICTS LOSE ENROLLMENT TO
CHARTERS THE ONLY RECOURSE IS TO
LAY OFF STAFF AN INCREASE CLASS
SIZE WHAT'S WORSE.
MANY CHARTERS LEAVE BEHIND THE
MOST VULNERABLE STUDENTS TO COST
THE MOST EDUCATE.
SIMPLY PUT AS A OPERATE TODAY
CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE INCREASINGLY
INEQUALITY IN EDUCATION THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION RELEASED DATA.
JUST THIS PAST MARCH.
CHARTER SCHOOLS HAVE A SMALLER
PERCENTAGE OF DISADVANTAGED SUB
GROUPS SUCH AS ENGLISH LEARNERS
FOSTER YOUTH HOMELESS MIGRANT
STUDENTS STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES AND SOCIO
ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED
STUDENTS.
WHAT?
WELL IT MAY NOT HAVE BEEN THE
ORIGINAL INTENSE.
WE CREATED A TWO TIERED
EDUCATION SYSTEM WHERE MANY
CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE ALLOWED TO
SERVE THE NARROW INTERESTS OF A
SELECTED GROUP OF STUDENTS TO
THE DETRIMENT OF DISTRICT
STUDENTS WHETHER HIGH OR LOW
ACHIEVING WHICH ARE LEFT WITH
FEWER RESOURCES.
THE UNREGULATED ABILITY OF
CHARTER SCHOOLS TO ENROLL
UNLIMITED STUDENTS WITHOUT ANY
CONSIDERATION TO THE IMPACTS
UPON THE LOCAL COMMUNITY
UNDERMINES OUR COMMITMENT TO A
PUBLIC EDUCATION THE DENTURES WE
MEET THE DIVERSE NEEDS OF ALL
STUDENTS.
PLEASE ENACTED BE FIFTEEN NO SEX.
PLEASE ALSO STRONGLY CONSIDER AN
AMENDMENT TO INCLUDE ENROLLMENT
LIMITATIONS TO PROTECT
EDUCATIONAL EQUITY AND FISCAL
HEALTH OF ALL STUDENTS -- OTHERS
IN SUPPORT MISTER CHAIR SEVEN
RAMBLE HERE ABOUT THE CALIFORNIA
TEACHERS ASSOCIATION WEREN'T
SUPPORT I'M HERE.
AVAILABLE TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
THANK YOU SEEN OTHERS IN SUPPORT
OF THE OPPOSITION.

HELLO MY NAME IS MARGARET
FORTUNE ON THE PRESIDENT AND CEO
FORTUNE SCHOOL AND THE CHAIR OF
THE BOARD OF THE CALIFORNIA
CHARTER SCHOOLS ASSOCIATION.
AND I AM IN STRONG OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL -- MY CONCERN IS THAT
A CAP ON CHARTER SCHOOLS
REPRESENTS A CAP ON
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS -- IN
THE CASE OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL
SYSTEM THAT I RUN THE COUNTY
BOARD OF EDUCATION MADE A
FINDING OF FACT BASED.
BACK IN.
TWO THOUSAND ELEVEN THAT THERE
IS A SEVERE AND PERSISTENT
AFRICAN AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT GAP
IN ALL OF THE TH THE COUNTIES
THIRTEEN SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
SUCH A THERE IS NO PLACE AN
AFRICAN AMERICAN FAMILY COULD GO
AND NOT CONFRONT THIS GAP.
AND SO THEY CHIU CHOSE TO
EXERCISE THEIR AUTHORITY. TO
APPROVE OUR NETWORK OF SCHOOLS
FOR THE PURPOSES OF CLOSING THE
AFRICAN AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT GAP
IN OF COURSE WERE OPEN TO ALL
STUDENTS.
WE ARE THE ONLY CHARTER SCHOOL
THAT THAT THE COUNTY BOARD OF
EDUCATION APPROVES SO IN THE
CASE OF THE APPLICATION OF THIS
BILL.
WHAT IT WOULD MEAN IS THAT IN
ORDER FOR A NEW?
CHARTER SCHOOL FROM FORTUNE
SCHOOL TO BE OPEN AN EXISTING
CHARTER SCHOOL AND AND FORTUNE
SCHOOL WOULD HAVE TO BE CLOSED --
IT WOULD CANNIBALIZE OUR SCHOOL
SYSTEM.
THIS IS A TIGHT RESTRICTION ON
THE PROGRESS OF CHARTER SCHOOLS.
AND THE IMPORTANT THING IS THAT.
THERE ARE STUDENTS.
AND YOU SAW MANY OF THEIR
PARENTS TODAY.
AND THE STUDENTS THEMSELVES.
THAT ARE DESPERATELY SEEKING
ANOTHER OPTION WITHIN THE PUBLIC
SCHOOL SYSTEM -- THAT -- THAT
DESIRE IS REAL -- YOU CAN'T FAKE
THAT.
AND IN THE CASE OF THE BLACK
COMMUNITY IT'S VERY WILL
ESTABLISH THE BLACK STUDENTS ARE
THE LOWEST PERFORMING SUBGROUP
OTHER OUTSIDE OF STUDENTS WITH
SPECIAL NEEDS.
THE DISTRICT THAT MR MCCARTY
MAKES REFERENCE TO SACK CITY
ONLY 13% OF AFRICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS MEET STEP MET STANDARDS
ON THE LAST STATE ASSESSMENT OF
MATHEMATICS.
A CAP ON SCHOOLS.
BETTER DESIGNED TO CLOSE THOSE
ACHIEVEMENT GAPS.
ARE IS A REAL INJUSTICE TO THE
FAMILIES THAT NEED OPPORTUNITIES.
THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH THIS BILL.
IS THAT IT SUGGESTS THAT NGUYEN
AN OPPORTUNITY TO CREATE A NEW
SCHOOL I WOULD WOULD BE CREATED
THAT.
AN EXPERIENCED OPERATOR COULDN'T
DO THAT WORK -- AND SO FOR THOSE
REASONS -- WE STAND IN
OPPOSITION TO THIS BILL.
GOOD AFTERNOON CARLOS ARE CARED
CABS HERE REPRESENTING THAT
CALIFORNIA CHARTER SCHOOLS
ASSOCIATION IN OPPOSITION. TO AB --
FIFTEEN OH SIX AS MISFORTUNE
HIGHLIGHTED BRIEFLY A. B.
FIFTEEN OH SIX MAKES AN
ARBITRARY JUDGMENT THAT SOMEHOW
NEW SINGLE SITE CHARTERS ARE
BETTER PREPARED TO MEET THE
NEEDS OF OUR MOST VULNERABLE
STUDENTS.
OVER OPERATORS WITH A PROVEN
TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS
OPERATING EXISTING SCHOOLS.
THIS POLICY RUNS COUNTER TO
STRONG EVIDENCE BY THE CENTER
FOR RESEARCH ON EDUCATED ON
EDUCATION OUTCOMES AT STANFORD.
THAT IN CALIFORNI IN BOTH THE
READING AND MATH STUDENTS IN CMO
TO HAVE LARGER LEARNING GAINES
PER YEAR.
THEN THERE DISTRICT COUNTERPARTS
AND THEN THERE INDEPENDENT
SINGLE SITE CHARTER SCHOOL PEERS.
THE DIFFERENCE IS EQUIVALENT TO
A STUDENT ATTENDING SEVENTEEN
ADDITIONAL DAYS OF SCHOOL PER
LEARNING IN BOTH SUBJECTS.
SO THE POSITIVE IMPACT OF
ATTENDING A CMO IS EVEN LARGER
FOR BLACK IN LATIN NEXT STUDENTS
AND THE GAINES EVEN GREATER
AMONG BLACK IN LATIN NEXT
STUDENTS IN POVERTY.
AND THESE ARE THE SAME STUDENTS
OF GROUPS THAT HAVE EXPERIENCED
THE WIDEST LEARNING GAPS IN
DISTRICT SCHOOLS.
AS STANFORD RESEARCH FINDS AND
SO FURTHER WE NEW SCHOOLS ARE
REPLICATED BY SEE A MOST.
CREDO FOUND THAT THOSE SCHOOLS
PRODUCE LEARNING RESULTS IN
THEIR FIRST YEAR THAT ARE MORE
POSITIVE THAN THEIR DISTRICT
PEERS SO THE BOTTOM LINE HERE IS
THAT SEE A MOST IN CALIFORNIA.
I UNDERSTAND THIS HOW TO SCALE
AND REPLICATE HIGH QUALITY
OUTCOMES FOR OUR MOST
DISADVANTAGED STUDENTS.
SO WHY WOULD WE DISADVANTAGED
THESE TYPES OF CHARTERS FROM
OPENING NEW SCHOOLS.
THE OTHER POINT I WANT TO RAISE
TO RESPOND THE COMMITTEES
ANALYSIS ON A. B. FIFTEEN OH SIX
IS THE DEEPLY FLAWED MISLEADING
RESEARCH BY IN THE PUBLIC
INTEREST.
I PROVIDED WRITTEN TESTIMONY IN
FULL BY ROBIN LAKE THE DIRECTOR
OF CENTER ON REINVENTING PUBLIC
EDUCATION TO ALL OF THE
COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
BUT JUST TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW
OBSERVATIONS LAVERS ANALYSIS
FAILS TO FOLLOW EVEN THE MOST
BASIC REQUIREMENTS -- AROUND --
PEER REVIEWED RESEARCH AND WE
WOULD JUST -- RESPECTFULLY ASK
THAT THE COMMITTEE CONSIDER
OBJECTED PEER REVIEWED RESEARCH
IN ITS ANALYSIS MOVING FORWARD
WE URGE YOUR KNOW ABOUT.

LEVEL -- THE WE HAD OUR LAST ONE
HERE.
ARE YOU GOING TO SPEAK.
YOU WISH TO SPEAK.
YES YES OKAY HI MY NAME IS SIX
ANA I PROPOSES THIS BILL.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH ALL RIGHT
THANK YOU ALL FOR THAT -- OVER
YOUR BACK IN THE COMMITTEE BRING
BACK BEHIND THE RAIL ANYBODY
WISH TO COMMENT -- SEEING NONE.
A MISTER KILEY ME.
IT'S YOUR TURN MISTER MCCARTY
HERE YOU GO.
MR FORTY S. LET'S SEE IT'S
SUBSECTION EIGHT TWO OF YOUR
BILL SAYS THAT -- THE PRIORITY
SHOULD BE GIVEN TO A CHARTER
PETITION SUBMITTED UNDER THIS
PART ESTABLISH A CHARTER SCHOOL
THAT WILL NOT BE OPERATED BY AN
ENTITY THAT IS OPERATING AT A
CHARTER SCHOOL.
SO -- FOR EXAMPLE MISFORTUNE
IT'S HER SCHOOLS HAVE A TRACK
RECORD OF CLOSING ACHIEVEMENT
GAPS AND YOUR BILL WOULD DE
PRIORITIZE FOR POSITION
PRECISELY ON THAT BASIS.
WHY IS THIS GOOD POLICY?
WELL I THERE'S THERE'S TWO
THINGS CLICK TO CLARIFY
[inaudible]
SO [inaudible]
THE FOR EXAMPLE SACRAMENTO HER
AUTHORIZES SAT COUNTY ONE OF FOR
CHARTER SCHOOLS WOULD NOT HAVE
TO CLOSE DOWN FEATHER WENT TO
OPEN UP.
BUT THERE IS A THOUGHT THAT
WE'RE CURRENTLY EVALUATING AND
AND SHOULD WE MOVE FORWARD WILL
KEY LOOK AT IT.
IS SIMPLY A ALLOW THESE -- YOU
KNOW LACK OF BETTER TERM
CORPORATE STYLE AT T. CHARTER
OPERATORS TO COME INTO COMMUNITY
AND OPEN.
ONE WHEN THEY REALLY ARE GONNA
BE FOCUSED ON THAT COMMUNITY.
LIKE A LOCAL ENTITY WAY.
SO THE NOTION IS TO GIVE
PRIORITIES TO A NEW CHARTER
OPERATOR THAT AS MORE ROOTS IN
THE LOCAL COMMUNITY.
HOWEVER -- IT'S SOMETHING THAT
RECENTLY.
WAS -- EVALUATED WHEN WE SAT
DOWN WITH THE OPPOSITION AND YOU
WERE OPEN TO LOOKING AT THAT
THAT PIECE GOING.
FOR SO YOU'RE OPEN TO TAKING UP
OR OUT OF IT OR MAYBE MODIFYING
THAT WE'RE LOOKING AT AND
WORKING AT THAT THE SO I THINK
IT RAISES SOME LEGITIMATE
QUESTIONS TO MAKE SURE THAT.
IF THERE IS CAPACITY HAS SOME WE
ALL AGREE THERE ARE SOME BAD
OPERATORS AND SO IF IF A CHARTER
SCHOOL -- SHUTS DOWN.
OR YOU KNOW PHASES OUT FOR
WHATEVER REASON
AND WE HAVE CAPACITY TO OPEN UP
A NEW SCHOOL SERVING ADDITIONAL
STUDENTS BASED UPON THAT.
EIGHTY EIGHT WE WANT TO FOCUS ON
WHAT'S BEST FOR THE COMMUNITY
WHAT'S GOING TO BE A STABLE
ENTITY THERE.
CAN BE A LONG TERM NET POSITIVE
FOR THE COMMUNITY.
THERE'S BEEN THAT SOME REFERENCE
TO A STUDY FROM -- THE STANFORD
UNIVERSITY CENTER FOR RESEARCH
ON EDUCATION OUTCOME SO JUST FOR
THE RECORD I WANT -- TO SAY WHAT
SOME OF THE THINGS THAT STUDY
FOUND HI THIS IS A QUOTE IN
TERMS OF ACADEMIC GROWTH OVER
TIME CHARTER SCHOOLS TO
SIGNIFICANTLY BETTER THAN
DISTRICT SCHOOLS AND URBAN AREAS.
AND PROFESSIONALLY LOWER
PERFORMING STUDENT GROUPS AS
FOLLOWS.
STUDENTS ARE ECONOMICALLY
DISADVANTAGED ESPECIALLY THOSE
WERE AFRICAN AMERICAN LATINO
IT'S A DEFINITELY GREATER
PROGRESS IN CHARTER SCHOOLS IN
THEIR MATCH PEERS IN TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
BLACK STUDENTS IN GENERAL FOUND
HAVE IMPROVED OUTCOMES IN
CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THE ACT IN A
PROGRESS OF AFRICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS AND POVERTY WAS EVEN
MORE POSITIVELY AFFECTED.
CHARTER SCHOOLS PROVIDE GREATER
LEARNING GAMES FOR STUDENTS
IDENTIFIED AS NEEDING SPECIAL
EDUCATION SUPPORT. FOR ENGLISH
LANGUAGE LEARNERS THE CHARTER
SCHOOL ADVANTAGES PARTICULARLY
LARGE AND SIGNIFICANT WHICH IS
NOT TYPICAL IN OTHER STATES.
AND FINALLY CHARTER SCHOOL
SERVING DIVERSE STUDENT
POPULATION AND SERVE MORE
STUDENTS ARE ECONOMICALLY
DISADVANTAGED AND AFRICAN
AMERICAN IN THE STATE AS A WHOLE.
SO GIVEN THESE FACTS WHY IS THIS
THE SECTOR OF OUR PUBLIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM WHOSE GROWTH WE
WANT TO LIMIT.
WELL FIRST OF ALL I'M NOT
FAMILIAR WITH THAT STUDY BUT YOU
CAN CERTAINLY PASS ON TO ME AND
WE'LL WE'LL TAKE A LOOK -- YOU
KNOW THE I THINK THIS IS A
REALITY CHECK FOR A SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AND OUR TAXPAYERS THE
LEGISLATURE [inaudible]
TODAY.
WE KNOW THE CHARTER SCHOOLS HAVE
A ROLE WE KNOW THERE'S SOME HIGH
ACHIEVING CHARTER SCHOOLS.
BUT THEN VITAL GROWTH YEAR AFTER
YEAR AFTER YEAR HAS A NEGATIVE
IMPACT.
ON OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM
AND WE'RE GONNA SEE THE
CONSEQUENCES HEARING YOUR
COMMUNITIES IN MY COMMUNITY AT
THE STATE CAPITOL AND THIS IS AN
OPPORTUNITY. TO ALLOW CHARTER
SCHOOLS TO THRIVE THAT ARE
EXISTING TODAY.
AND CONTRARY TO THE LETTERS THAT
I GOT OVER AND OVER FROM ROCKET
SHIP.
WITH THESE MEASURES ARE NOT
GOING TO CLOSE DOWN.
CHARTER SCHOOLS THIS CASE I'M
GONNA PUT A MORATORIUM.
SOME OF ASKED ME TO GO DOWN.
SOME OF SAID WE SHOULD GET RID
OF CHARTER SCHOOLS THIS IS NOT
THAT THIS I THINK IS A FAIR
SOLUTION WHICH ALLOWED CHARTER
SCHOOLS TO THRIVE.
AND ASK POPULATIONS DECREASE
RESISTING CHARTER SCHOOLS WE CAN
OPEN NEW ONES BUT PROVIDING SOME
FINANCIAL BREATHING ROOM.
THE SCHOOL DISTRICT'S UP AND
DOWN CALIFORNIA.
I JUST WANT TO CLEAR CHARTER
SCHOOLS ARE PART OF THE PUBLIC
EDUCATION SYSTEM.
THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT.
FOLKS THE CHARTER SCHOOLS ARE
THERE YOU KNOW VOLUNTARY KNOWN
SPORTS GO TO ANY PARTICULAR
SCHOOL SO I'D ASK YOU TO KEEP
THAT IN MIND WHEN YOU MAKE
CLAIMS ABOUT.
OUR PUBLIC EDUCATION SYSTEM AS A
WHOLE.
THANK YOU.
SEE NO FURTHER COMING FROM
COMMITTEES A BILL THEN MOVED.
WELL I I I I WILL NOT JUST
REITERATE WHAT I'VE SAID OF
COURSE IN TERMS OF PROCESS.
BUT I DO HOPE AT SOME POINT IN
THIS -- DISCUSSION THAT WE
FIGURE OUT -- WHAT'S THE
STUDENTS ARE GOING TO GET OUT OF
ALL OF THIS STUFF WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT TODAY IN OTHER WORDS.
THERE SEEMS TO BE NO GUARANTEES
OR NO DISCUSSION.
OF HOW EITHER PUTTING A CAP. ONE
CHARTERS OR WHATEVER PROCESS WE
HAVE WILL BENEFIT THOSE STUDENTS
WHO ARE WHO ARE REMAINING IN
PUBLIC SCHOOLS OR WHO MAY BE
FORCED TO GO TO PUBLIC SCHOOL.
IF THAT HAPPENS TO BE A
SITUATION WHERE THEIR CHART IS
CLOSE TO WHAT HAPPENED.
THESE PANTS THOUGH SINCE OF
DESPERATION AND I THINK MOST OF
YOU SINCE THAT.
THAT -- AND AND AND I THINK IT'S
IT'S WRONG TO TRY TO CONNECT --
THE PROLIFERATION OF CHARTERS
WITH THE LIMITED -- OUTCOMES IN
THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS BECAUSE IF SO
THEN YOU'RE YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY
SAYING THAT YOU'RE GOING TO
GUARANTEE THAT OUR SCHOOLS ARE
GOING TO DO BETTER GET BETTER
FOR KIDS AS A RESULT OF ALL THIS
WORK THAT WE'RE DOING HERE.
AND AND I DON'T THINK THE
EVIDENCE SHOWS THAT EVEN BEFORE
CHARTERS.
WITH A TO PLACE TWENTY FIVE
YEARS AGO THE SYSTEMS CONTINUE
TO FAIL AFRICAN AMERICAN KIDS.
AND AND SO I I I UNDERSTAND THE
NEED FOR SOMETHING THAT NEEDS TO
HAPPEN BECAUSE OF THE GROWTH IN
THE LACK MANAGEMENT AND CONTROL
AND I'M NOT A LOT OF OVERSIGHT
THAT.
THAT THAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN THAT
HASN'T BEEN HAPPENING AND I
DON'T.%
I DON'T EVEN AYE LESSER TO SEE
THE OVERSIGHT COMING IN THIS AND
I WOULD HAVE LOVED TO SEEN
SOMETHING IN ALL OF THIS THAT
REALLY MADE A COMMITMENT.
OF OVERSIGHT AND OUTCOMES FOR
KIDS WHO ARE POOR.
BUT IF WE'RE TAKING THE MONEY
AND PUTTING IT BACK INTO AND
WE'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE
FINANCIAL PIECE ISN'T CONCERNED
ABOUT THOSE THINGS WHICH WE
SHOULD BE.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT THINGS ARE NOT
GOING RIGHT AT THIS POINT FOR A
LOT OF KIDS AND WE'RE YOUR
FORTUNE IN SACRAMENTO TO THE
FOURTEEN SCHOOLS.
BUT THAT THE PERFORMANCE IS UP
AND DOWN THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
AND WE DON'T SEEM TO BE.
AGGRESSIVELY DEALING WITH THAT
WE SEEM TO DEAL MORE WITH --
FINANCES AND MANAGEMENT AND ALL
THESE KINDS OF THINGS AND WE
KNOW WHEN SCHOOLS HAVE DONE
EXTREMELY WELL FINANCIALLY.
BLACK AND BROWN HE'S STILL FAIL.
WHEN THEY LOST MONEY BLACK AND
BROWN KIDS STILL FAIL?
SO EVEN AS WE DO THIS WE HAVEN'T
MADE A COMMITMENT TO WHAT WE'RE
DOING AND ATTACHING IT IN SOME
WAY.
THAT OUR SYSTEMS ARE GOING TO
GET BETTER FOR OUR KIDS I THINK
THOSE ON THIS COMMITTEE WE HAVE
TO COMMIT OURSELVES AFTER THESE
THREE BILLS.
AND ALL THE OTHER ONES WE SEE TO
REALLY TALK ABOUT.
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE MAJORITY
OF KIDS IN PUBLIC SCHOOLS
KNOWLEDGE TO PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
BUT WHAT ACT WHERE I KIDS
FLEEING WHAT A PAN STILL SO
DESPERATE.
UP I MEAN IT.
I UNDERSTAND IT THE WORST YOU
KNOW IN TERMS OF THE DECISIONS
PARENTS HAVE TO MAKE ABOUT
WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN WITH THEIR
KIDS THESE THESE FOLKS A
DESPERATE.
AND AND SO AND THEN AT THE SAME
TIME WE BUT WE SAT BACK AND KIND
OF ALLOW THE CHARTER TEAM TO GO
UP AND DOWN TO GIVE WEEKLY
WAGGLE YOU.
GET SOME THINGS OF THAT
SHOULDN'T BE THERE THAT WE GET
TO TOSS OUT AND WE'VE HAD TO
DRESS.
BUT I'M HOPING AT SOME POINT
THAT THOSE WERE PUT FORTH THESE
THREE FOUR BILLS.
THAT WOULD DRAMATICALLY CHANGE
CHARTERS ALSO WE'LL TALK ABOUT.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO GET SOME
ACCOUNTABILITY? FOR PERFORMANCE
INTEREST IN OUR SCHOOL SYSTEM
BECAUSE WE CAN'T JUST CLAMP DOWN
THIS AND THINK EVERYTHING'S
GONNA BE OKAY BECAUSE IT WILL
NOT.
AND SO I HOPE THAT BECOMES A
PART OF THE CONVERSATION THAT WE
REALLY START TALKING ABOUT.
PERFORMANCE AND WHAT WE NEED TO
DO FOR OUR KIDS FOR EVERY KID IN
CALIFORNIA TO GROW AND TO THRIVE.
AND IF NOT WE'RE GOING TO
BASICALLY PUSH OUR FOLKS OUT
AGAIN.
OUT OF FRUSTRATION.
AND MY FEAR IS THAT THEY WILL GO
INTO THE VOUCHER SITUATION THAT
WE WERE CONCERNED ABOUT SOME
TWENTY SIX YEARS AGO.
AND I CHAIRED THE VOUCHER NO ONE
AS I TOLD YOU THE NO ONE THOUGHT
TO COMMITTEE AND I STILL WANTED
TO THIS DAY IF I DID THE RIGHT
THING.
BECAUSE THERE WAS SOME
ASSURANCES MADE AS TO WHAT WAS
GOING TO HAPPEN IN OUR SCHOOLS.
IF WE DEFEATED VOUCHERS AND THAT
INSURANCE WAS NOT LIVED UP TO
FOR ME IN TERMS WITH PEOPLE
SHORT ME WHEN I TOOK THAT CHARGE
TO DO THAT IN SAN DIEGO COUNTY.
SO I'M HOPEFUL THAT THAT
CONVERSATION WILL RISE TO A
DIFFERENT LEVEL OF
ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THE
PERFORMANCE.
IN ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS SO THAT WE
CAN BE PROUD OF CALIFORNIA
SCHOOLS AND AND AND BOTH RUNNING
TO CHART IS IS JUST A SYMPTOM.
OF OUTCOME OF OF WHAT WE SEE AND
WE HAVE TO ADDRESS THE REAL
ISSUE WHICH IS EVERY SCHOOL IN
THIS STATE SHOULD BE AN
EXCELLENT SCHOOL SO THE PARENT
CAN WALK DOWN THE STREET AND PUT
THEIR KID IN A PUBLIC SCHOOL.
AND FEEL THAT'S A GOOD THING AND
AS A GRANDMOTHER YOU KNOW I MY
DAUGHTER PAYS ALMOST FORTY
THOUSAND DOLLARS A YEAR FOR HER
TWO KIDS GO TO SCHOOL.
THAT IS CRIMINAL YOU KNOW THAT
IS CRIMINAL AND SHE LIVES IN A
DECENT NEIGHBORHOOD BUT THE
SCHOOLS ARE NOT PERFORMING AT
THE LEVEL THAT SHE THINKS IS
IMPORTANT.
SO THE FACT THAT YOU HAVE TO DO
THAT IS A STATEMENT ABOUT.
PEOPLE CRYING OUT FOR HELP AND
I'M HOPING THAT ONCE WE DO ALL
THIS MISCEGENATION EVERYONE DO
WITH THESE THREE BILLS.
THAT WE AS A COMMITTEE BEGIN TO
ADDRESS THE CRYING OUT FOR A
QUALITY SCHOOL IN EVERY
NEIGHBORHOOD IN THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WE MUST COMMIT
OURSELVES TO THAT.
OTHERWISE THEY WILL FEEL THAT
THEY'VE BEEN DUPED AGAIN.
GREAT -- SEE NO FURTHER COMMENT --
MISTER MCCARTY.
YOU MAY -- CLOSE THE MOTION IS
TO PASS TO PROVISIONS OF EMOTION.
THE BILL WILL AS THE CALLER
SECOND MIGHT MISS SMITH.
UP YOU MAY CLOSE.
YEAH I THINK THANK YOU I I
APPRECIATE THE DISCUSSION AND
YOU KNOW I KNOW PEOPLE THINK IT
THIS IS A A BLACK AND WHITE
ISSUE.
IT'S A LOT OF GRAY BETWEEN AND
WE'RE GOING TO CONTINUE AS YOU
SAID IN YOUR MEASURE AND ARE
MEASURE TO WORK WITH THAT.
WITH THOSE SITES YOU KNOW THIS
IS THE REALITY WE'VE BEEN HERE
FOR FOUR HOURS YOU KNOW I
HAVEN'T HEARD ONE TO FOUR HOURS.
HOWEVER WOEFULLY UNDER FUNDING
OUR SCHOOLS.
RIGHT. FORTY FIRST THE NATION IN
PER PEOPLE FUNDING THAT'S A
DISGRACE WE PROBABLY WOULD NOT
BE HERE RIGHT NOW.
IF WE WERE TWENTY FIFTH IN THE
NATION -- FIT IN THE NATION ARE
TENTH IN FUNDING OUR PUBLIC
EDUCATION INCLUDING OUR CHARTER
SCHOOLS THAT ARE TRADITIONAL
PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
BUT RIGHT NOW WE HAVE X. ON
UNBELIEVABLE PRESSURE ON OUR
FINANCIAL -- WHERE WITH ALL OF
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS
CALIFORNIA AND THAT MEANS EIGHT
IN SCHOOLS INCREASE CLASS SIZES
DON'T HAVE THE IN RICHMOND THAT
THE SPORTS THE MATH?
AND ON THE MAP THE SPORTS THE
MUSIC THE DR SO THAT TOO
SOMETIMES A MATHIS DOCTOR WHERE
I WAS JUST POINTING OUT.
AND YOU KNOW MONEY IS NOT THE
ANSWER TO ALL OF OUR WILLOWS BUT
I THINK THAT'S A CRITICAL ISSUE
THAT WE NEED.
pTRACK ON BUT THIS ISN'T IS THAT
NECESSARY PIECE.
I THINK IT'S A FAIR PERSPECTIVE.
HEARING WHAT THE ALTERNATIVES
ARE.
AND WITH THAT HAS BEGUN.
THANK YOU MISTER MCCARTY THINK
YOU'RE POINTING OUT THE FUNNY
ISSUE YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY ACCURATE
WITH REGARD TO THAT AND IN SOME
COMMUNITIES OF ACTUALLY INCREASE
THEIR LOCAL TAXES TO SUPPORT
THEIR SCHOOLS.
NOT ALL COMMUNITIES HAVE THAT
OPTION OR HAVE BEEN ABLE TO YOU
KNOW GET THAT PASSED BUT THAT
SHOWS YOU THE DESPAIR NESS OF
OUR FUNDING ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO
BE ADDRESSED SO THANK YOU --
WITH THAT PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
THE MOTION IS THE REAL QUICK
MISTER MCCARTY YOU DO IT ON A
MICROPHONE YOU DO ACCEPT THE
AMENDMENTS.
YES I SAID AT THE BEGINNING ALSO.
THE MOTION IS THE PASTOR
APPROPRIATIONS WITH AMENDMENTS
TO BE TAKEN AND APPROPRIATIONS
O'DONNELL AYE O'DONNELL AYE
KILEY.
KILEY NO KALRA.
KALRA AYE MCCARTY.
I SMITH SMITH I WEBER.
WEBER NOT VOTING.
THE BILL HAS FOUR VOTES ITIS
OUT AND I JUST WANNA MAKE IT
QUICK ANNOUNCEMENT -- EIGHTY
SEVEN ELEVEN HAS BEEN PULLED AS
HAS AB EIGHT SEVEN FIVE THOSE OF
BOTH AND PULL FROM TWO NIGHTS
AGENDA.
IT WAS TODAY NOW IT'S TIME.
I'M SORRY NEXT NEXT TO FILE
ITEMS THIRTY ONE FILE ITEM
THIRTY ONE AND THIS IS. FIFTEEN
OH SEVEN BY MISS SMITH -- YOU
MAY PROCEED WHEN READY WITH AB
FIFTEEN OR SEVEN MISS SMITH
.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS I'D LIKE TO OPEN BY
ACCEPTING THE COMMITTEE
AMENDMENTS WHICH CLARIFY
PREVIOUS AMENDMENTS AND INCREASE
TRANSPARENCY FOR SCHOOLS.
AB FIFTEEN OH SEVEN CONTINUES
THE GOVERNOR AND THE
LEGISLATURE'S WORK IN INCREASING
CHARTER TRANSPARENCY.
THIS BILL INCREASES LOCAL
CONTROL BY ELIMINATING LOOPHOLES
IN CURRENT CHARTER LAW WHICH
ALLOW CHARTER SCHOOLS TO OPERATE
DISTRICT.
THIS BILL RESTORES THE RIGHT OF
INDIVIDUAL DISTRICTS HAVE
OVERSIGHT OVER THE SCHOOLS
LOCATED WITHIN THEIR GEOGRAPHIC
BOUNDARIES AND CLARIFIES THE
JURISDICTIONAL SOVEREIGNTY OF
THE DULY ELECTED SCHOOL BOARDS
AND THEIR ROLES IN PUBLIC
OVERSIGHT.
MY STAFF AND I PROVIDED RECENT
LA TIMES AND CAL MATTERS
ARTICLES TO YOU FRAMING OUT OF
DISTRICT CHARTER AUTHORIZATION
ABUSES.
THE ISSUE THAT AB FIFTEEN OH
SEVEN SEEKS TO ADDRESS AND IS
NOW BEEN A CONSISTENT AN ONGOING
CHALLENGE LEAVING IMPACTED ELLIE
IS NO RECOURSE OTHER THAN COSTLY
LITIGATION.
ELEAZAR HAVE BEEN TASKED WITH
ENSURING STUDENT SUCCESS BUT
THAT SUCCESS IS BUILT OFF TRUST
FROM THE COMMUNITY WITHIN THE
ALLEY A AND THE COMMUNITY
IMPACTED BY IT.
REST IS BUILT OFF MEASURES OF
ACCOUNTABILITY AND OVERSIGHT
WHICH IS NOT PRACTICABLE IF
ANOTHER SCHOOL DISTRICT HAS
AUTHORITY OVER THE SCHOOL IN
YOUR BACKYARD.
THIS WAS THE CASE DURING MY
TENURE ON THE NEW HALL SCHOOL
BOARD.
WE DO NOT HAVE THE TOOLS NORTH
ALREADY TO EXERCISE OVERSIGHT.
ON A SCHOOL.
THERE WAS AUTHORIZED BY ANOTHER
DISTRICT BUT PHYSICALLY LOCATED
WITHIN OUR SCHOOLS BOUNDARIES IN
FACT ACROSS THE STREET FROM OUR
DISTRICT HEADQUARTERS.
WE COULD NOT DO ARE DULY ELECTED
JOB TO LOOK OUT FOR AN ADVOCATE
ON BEHALF OF THOSE STUDENTS.
IN THE SCHOOL NOR COULD WE
ADVOCATE TO MITIGATE ANY FACTORS
TO DECREASE THE IMPACT TO THE
SCHOOL AND ITS SURROUNDING
NEIGHBORHOOD.
AS A CAL MATTERS ARTICLE
INDICATES THE CHARTER IN MY
DISTRICTS CASE CLOSED IN A FEW
SHORT YEARS DUE TO WOEFULLY
MISMANAGED FINANCES THROUGH
THEIR CMO.
AS HAD BEEN PREDICTED BY THE
MULTIPLE ELLIE ETS WHO WOULD
CAREFULLY VETTED AND DENIED
THEIR ORIGINAL PETITION.
THE AUTHORIZED OR IN THIS CASE
WAS A SMALL RURAL DISTRICT IN
FINANCIAL DISTRESS DUE TO
DECLINING ENROLLMENT.
AND THIS IS OCCURRING IN
DISTRICTS THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
THE LOOPHOLE IN THE CHARTER
SCHOOLS ACTION LITERALLY SETS UP
A PERVERSE SET A FINANCIAL
INCENTIVES FOR STRUGGLING ELLIE
ETS IN A MANNER INCONSISTENT NOT
ONLY WITH THE INTENT OF THE
CHARTER SCHOOLS ACT BUT WITH OUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO ADEQUATELY
FUND ALL DISTRICTS.
ESPECIALLY THOSE IN DECLINING
ENROLLMENT AS THE COST OF
OPERATION OFTEN DON'T DIMINISH
IN DIRECT PROPORTION TO
DIMINISHMENT OF ADA.
HOWEVER AB FIFTEEN OH SEVEN
ULTIMATELY IS ABOUT LOCAL
CONTROL AND MAKING SURE THAT
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS HAVE THE TOOLS AND
POWER TO BEST USE TAXPAYER
DOLLARS FOR OUR COMMUNITY IN
CHILDREN.
AND FOR THOSE LOCAL ENTITIES TO
DO WHAT THEY WERE ELECTED TO DO.
PROVIDE OVERSIGHT TO ALL PUBLIC
SCHOOLS WITHIN THEIR STATUTORY
JURISDICTION.
WITH ME TODAY TO TESTIFY OUR
GUILD GARBARINO MOJICA
SUPERINTENDENT OF PLASTER
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT AND MARK
WINGER MY FORMER SUPERINTENDENT
IN THE FORMER SUPERINTENDENT OF
THE NEW LAW SCHOOL DISTRICT.
GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS GAIL
GARBARINO MOJICA AND I'M THE
PLASTER COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF
SCHOOLS AND FOR THE PAST TEN
YEARS WE HAVE HAD A NEW NUMEROUS
AMOUNTS.
OF CHARTER SCHOOLS THAT WERE
LOCATING IN OTHER DISTRICTS THAT
WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY THEM.
WE ARE AS A COUNTY OF ABOUT
SEVENTY TWO THOUSAND KIDS
SIXTEEN SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND
TWENTY ONE CHARTER SCHOOLS.
AT ONE POINT WE HAD SIX CHARTER
SCHOOLS THAT WERE OPERATING
OUTSIDE OF THEIR AUTHORIZES
BOUNDARIES.
BASED UPON MY EXPERIENCE THESE
LAST TEN YEARS I'VE COME ACROSS
TO TRANSIT I FIND TROUBLING WHEN
WE HAVE A CHARTER SCHOOL THAT
RELOCATES OUTSIDE AN AUTHOR
RISERS BORDERS.
THE FIRST ONE HAPPENS IS WHEN WE
DON'T HAVE A GOOD GOVERNMENT
SYSTEM A LOCAL CONTROL SYSTEM.
WE HAVE A VERY LARGE CHARTER
SCHOOL THAT'S LOCATED IN
ROSEVILLE.
AND THERE WERE SOME INGRESS
EGRESS ISSUES THAT HAVE IMPACTED
THE BUSINESS AND THE COMMUNITY
MEMBERS.
THE BUSINESS IN THE COMMUNITY
MEMBERS THOUGHT THAT THEY WERE
TAKING THEIR CONCERNS TO THEIR
LOCALLY ELECTED OFFICIALS THEIR
SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS.
YOUR CITY COUNCIL MEMBERS THERE
CITY GOVERNMENT.
BUT UNFORTUNATELY THAT WASN'T
THE CASE THEY WERE AUTHORIZED BY
A TOWN THAT WAS TO SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AWAY.
FROM THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE A
TOWN THAT HAD A SCHOOL BOARD
THAT DID NOT HAVE RELATIONSHIPS
WITH THE CITY OF ROSEVILLE THE
SCHOOL BOARD OR THE CAST CITY
GOVERNMENT.
IT RESULTED IN MANY CONSTITUENTS
BEING VERY CONFUSED AS TO HOW
THEY CAN CONFIRM CONVEY THEIR
CONCERNS REGARDING THE INGRESS
AND EGRESS ISSUES.
THE SECOND ISSUES THAT I'VE COME
ACROSS IN THE LAST TEN YEARS IS
THE I DO THE THE PARTICIPATION
OF MANY CHARTER SCHOOLS SEEKING
A SMALL AUTHORIZED -- SUCH AS
ONE OF MY SMALLEST SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN THE COUNTY LOCATED
IN THE FOOTHILLS.
THEY ARE SMALL.
A SCHOOL DISTRICT AND THEIR
AUTHORIZATION PROCESS AND THEY
DO NOT HAVE A LOT OF STAFF TO
CONDUCT A IN DEPTH HIGH QUALITY
REVIEW.
AS SOON AS SUCH THEY HAVE
AUTHORIZED MANY LARGE CHARTER
SCHOOLS SOME OF WHICH THREE OF
THEM ARE LOCATED IN TAHOE SIX
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AWAY FROM THEIR
CURRENT AUTHORIZED -- SO IF YOU
DRIVE UP HIGHWAY EIGHTY YOU HAVE
TO DRIVE THROUGH SIX OTHER
SCHOOL DISTRICTS BEFORE YOU GET
TO THE CHARTER SCHOOLS.
WHAT IS THE SERBS WHAT HAS
RESULTED IS THE LACK OF
OVERSIGHT THAT THE SMALL RULE
SCHOOL DISTRICT HOUSE FOR THESE
CHARTERS I HAVE WITH WITNESSED
IT MYSELF?
THE FACT THAT THIS CHARTERS THIS
DISTRICT DOESN'T EVEN MEET THE
BASIC REQUIREMENTS SET FORTH IN
LONG WHEN IT COMES TO OVERSIGHT.
SO I HAVE GRAVE CONCERNS AND I
WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS THOSE IN
DEPTH IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS
LATER.
GOOD EVENING CHAIRMAN O'DONNELL
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE ON MARK
WHERE FORMER SUPERINTENDENT NEW
HALL SCHOOL DISTRICT AND I THANK
YOU FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO BEGIN
SUPPORT OF AB FIFTEEN OH SEVEN
I'M GONNA TELL YOU ARE DISTRICTS
STORY SO TO A LITTLE MICROCOSM
OF WHAT YOU JUST HEARD -- WE
REJECTED A PETITION FROM THE
ALBERT EINSTEIN A KIA CAN ME IN.
TWO THOUSAND TEN DUE TO FISCAL
ASSUMPTIONS THAT THEY WERE
MAKING THAT WE KNEW WERE WRONG
AND THEIR ABILITY TO OR THEIR
LACK OF ABILITY.
TO NOT DELIVER PROGRAM FOR OUR
ENGLISH LANGUAGE LEARNERS IN THE
DISTRICT.
THEIR PETITION WAS ALSO REJECTED
BY OUR NEIGHBORING DISTRICTS
SAUGUS SCHOOL DISTRICT.
AND REJECTED BY THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY OF EDUCATION ON APPEAL
FROM THE SAUGUS DISTRICT AND
REJECTED.
BY FOUR OTHER LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS IN THE LOS ANGELES AND
VENTURA COUNTIES.
AT AROUND A PARALLEL TRACK IN ON
TWO THOUSAND IN TWO THOUSAND
THIRTEEN ACTON I WOULD ALSO
UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS --
IS FIFTEEN HUNDRED STUDENT
DISTRICT AT THAT TIME ABOUT
TWENTY MILES AWAY FROM US.
AND THEY WERE NEGATIVELY
CERTIFIED BY LA COUNTY THEY
COULDN'T MEET THEIR OBLIGATIONS
IN THE COMING YEARS -- THEIR
BOARD DECIDED THAT THE WAY THEY
WERE GOING TO PROVE THIS WAS BY
APPROVING MULTIPLE CHARTERS AND
I HAVE THE SLIDE PRESENTATION
FROM THE BOARD -- MEETING AT
THAT TIME MULTIPLE CHARTERS AND
THEY WOULD GENERATE ONE POINT
THREE MILLION DOLLARS AND SOLVE
THEIR FISCAL PROBLEMS -- SO YOU
CAN IMAGINE THAT.
ACT AND I WOULD ALSO BE AND THE
EINSTEIN CHARTER FOUND EACH
OTHER AND ACT AND THEY'LL SEE
APPROVED THERE -- PETITION AND
THE PETITION TALK ABOUT SERVING
THE STUDENTS OF THE ACT AND I
WOULD ALSO A SCHOOL DISTRICT.
BUT THE IMMEDIATELY DECLARED
THERE WAS NO ROOM IN THE
DISTRICT AND THEY HAVE TO MOVE
ELSEWHERE -- AND AND THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT WE ALSO SAW ON
THE SMALL DISTRICTS WAS THEY
MANUFACTURE THE ARGUMENT TO FIT
THE LOOPHOLE THAT THERE'S NO
ROOM IN THE DISTRICTS ARE SMALL
DISTRICT -- SO THE THEY WANT TO
MOVE TO SANTA CLARITA AND THEY
TRIEDAND THEY FAILED TO OPEN.
BUT THEY DID OPEN THAT FIRST
YEAR THEY OPENED AN ABANDONED
SCHOOL IN ACT AND I WOULD ALSO.
GOING TO DEFINE THEIR OWN CLAIM
OF NOT HAVING SPACE A YEAR LATER --
PRIVATE SCHOOL CAME ON THE
MARKET IN SANTA CLARITA IN THE
NEW HOUSE SCHOOL DISTRICT AND
THEY MOVED INTO THAT PRIVATE
SCHOOL AND OPENED NOT TO SERVE
THE STUDENTS OF BACKING OUT OF
THE I WOULD ALSO BUT TO SERVE.
THE SCHOOLS IN SANTA CLARITA.
WE HAD ONE PETITION.
IN THE TWENTY FIVE YEAR HISTORY
OF THE CHARTER SCHOOL LAW ONE
PETITION WE DENIED IT.
WE FOLLOW THE LAW WE DID NOT IT
ON SIGNIFICANT FOR SIGNIFICANT
REASONS AND IF THAT SCHOOL WAS
OPERATING IN OUR DISTRICT.
AND HERE'S AN EXAMPLE OF THE
LACK OF OVERSIGHT THAT WE ARE
OVERSIGHT THAT WE COULD NOT
APPLY A FEW YEARS INTO THEIR RUN --
FIFTH MAC CONDUCTED AN EXTRA
EXTRAORDINARY HOT IT.
AND FOUND ALL KINDS OF FISCAL
MISMANAGEMENT A COMPLETE LACK OF
PAPERWORK IN A LOT OF CASES THEY
COULDN'T PROVE THAT THERE WAS
ANYTHING CRIMINAL GOING ON
BECAUSE A CONFINED ENOUGH
RECORDS TO DO THAT.
AND NEW -- SCHOOL DISTRICT WAS
COMPLETELY UNABLE. TO OVERSEE
THAT CHARTER OPERATING OUR
DISTRICT I THINK MATT HAD
SEVERELY CRITICIZED AND AFTER
NOT WITH ALL STATE I COMPETING
INTERESTS HERE DIDN'T THEY DO
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT THICK MAT.
AND AS ASSEMBLY MEMBER SMITH
SAID THEY DROVE THEMSELVES INTO
THE GROUND EVENTUALLY AND CLOSE --
ANY AS YOU KNOW THIS WAS NOT AN
ISOLATED CASE A DOCTOR WEBER YOU
KNOW TWELFTH BECAUSE IT HAPPENED
IN SAN DIEGO UNIFIED WITH THE
SAME GROUP -- IT'S HAPPENED
ACROSS THE STATE THE COMMON
THEME IS SMALL FISCALLY
DISTRESSED UNITS MANUFACTURING
THIS NO SPACE SOLUTION. TO
EXPLOIT THIS LOOPHOLE IN THE
WHAT.
AND HOW I FEEL STRONGLY A LOCAL
LOCALLY ELECTED BOARDS OF WE'VE
HEARD ALL DAY TODAY.
HAVE THE RESPONSIBILITY FOR
EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS INCLUDING
CHARTERS WITHIN THEIR GEOGRAPHIC
DISTRICTS.
THE CURRENT LAW ALLOWS OTHER
DISTRICTS TO VIOLATE THAT WHOLE
CONCEPT AND AND THE SOVEREIGNTY
OF OTHER DISTRICTS.
AND IT NEEDS TO BE CHANGED AND I
DON'T SEE THIS CONVERSELY IF
THAT LOOPHOLE ISN'T CLOSED
THAT'S SENDING A SIGNAL THAT
THIS UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR IS
ACCEPTABLE TO THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE ALLOWING IT
TO GO ON SO COURSE I URGE YOU TO
SUPPORT IF YOU KNOW SO.

OPPOSITION [inaudible]
FOR ALMOST
.
WHEN WE IN THE?
THANK YOU MAY PROCEED WHEN READY.
HI MY NAME IS THE RANDY GUESS
AND I HAVE BEEN WORKING IN
EDUCATION AS A TEACHER AND NOW
AS A COUNSELOR. FOR THE PAST
TWENTY THREE YEARS.
I MADE THE SWITCH FROM WORKING
IN A TRADITIONAL SCHOOL ELEVEN
YEARS AGO WHEN I BEGAN WORKING
AT A SITE BASED CHARTER SCHOOL.
BECAUSE I WAS INTERESTED IN
WORKING WITH A POPULATION OF
STUDENTS IN WHICH I CAN MAKE A
DIFFERENCE.
I HAVE DECIDED TO SPEAK TO YOU
TODAY BECAUSE OF THE THREAT THAT
AB FIFTY NO SEVEN PRESENTS TO
THE POPULATION OF STUDENTS.
THAT ATTEND OUR SITE.
STUDENTS THAT HAVE COME TO OUR
SITE.
ARE THE STUDENTS.
THAT COME TO US FOR VARIOUS
REASONS [inaudible] FOR EXAMPLE.
STUDENTS WITH DEPRESSION.
ANXIETY.
VICTIMS OF BULLYING.
STUDENTS THAT PERHAPS ARE
LOOKING TO START THEIR CAREER.
AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL EARLY.
WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM A FLEXIBLE
SCHEDULE?
AND A SMALL CLASS INSTRUCTION.
STUDENTS WHO HAVE BIBLE FORCE OR
I. E. P.'S WHO ARE STRUGGLING
ACADEMICALLY.
AT OUR SITE STUDENTS CAN ENROLL
IN SMALL CLASSES.
THAT ARE NO BIGGER THAN.
FIVE AND HAVE THE BENEFITS OF
TRUE DIFFERENTIATED INSTRUCTION.
I CAN BE TRULY ENGAGED.
YOU CAN IMAGINE HOW DETRIMENTAL
IT WOULD BE TO THESE STUDENTS.
LIVES IF THAT WAS TAKEN AWAY.
MY BIGGEST CONCERN IF AB FIFTEEN
OH SEVEN PASSES.
IS WHAT WILL HAPPEN TO THE
STUDENTS.
WHO HAVE FOUND SUCCESS IN OUR
BACK OF BILL SITE BASED PROGRAM?
WILL THEY BE FORCED TO GO BACK
TO THE PROGRAM.
AT THEIR TRADITIONAL SCHOOL SITE.
THAT OBVIOUSLY DID NOT MEET
THEIR NEEDS.
WILL THEIR I EP GOALS.
BE MAD AT THE RICH AT THE
TRADITIONAL SITE.
OR WHERE OR WILL THEY JUST
SIMPLY DROP OUT.
KNOWING THAT THE EDUCATIONAL
SYSTEM FAILED THEM.
AND I LEAVE THAT QUESTION FOR
YOU TO PONDER.
I KNOW.
THAT OUR SITE PROGRAM MAKES A
DIFFERENCE EVERY DAY.
PERHAPS YOU KNOW FOR THE PAST
ELEVEN YEARS WITH THE STUDENTS
THAT I WORK WITH.
AND I WILL SHARE WITH YOU THAT
OUR ORGANIZATION.
ATTEMPTED TO GET CHARTER
APPROVED BY OUR LOCAL DISTRICT.
AND WE WERE DENIED TWICE.
DESPITE THE CLEAR STUDENT NEED.
A COMMUNITY DESIRE IN THAT
DISTRICT FOR OUR PROGRAM.
I KNOW IT MUST HAVE BEEN BECAUSE
THEY DID NOT HAVE CLEAR
UNDERSTANDING OF THE WORK THAT
WE DO EVERY DAY.
HOW CAN ANY EDUCATOR OR LEADER
DENY A STUDENT A SCHOOL LARA
PROGRAM OF CHOICE?
IF THEIR TRADITIONAL SCHOOL DID
NOT WORK FOR THEM.
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.
AND AT THE END OF MY SPEECH HERE.
I WANT TO JUST CONVEY THAT I
WANT WHAT'S BEST FOR ALL
STUDENTS.
HELLO AND GOOD AFTERNOON.
MY NAME IS DRIVING SPORTS AND
I'M SIXTEEN AND I'M A JUNIOR AT
US AND I'M A STUDENT AT RIO
VALLEY.
CHARTER SCHOOLS AND I'M HERE TO
TALK ABOUT HOW.
GOING TO CHARTER SCHOOL CHANGING
FOR THE BETTER AND HOME
EDUCATIONAL ON WHAT EVERYONE
ELSE IS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
SO FIRST OFF I WASN'T ALWAYS IN
A CHARTER SCHOOL I WAS ALWAYS
INTRODUCTION ALL PUBLIC SCHOOLS
AND THE PUBLIC SYSTEM.
I WENT TO TRADITIONAL HIGH
SCHOOLS I WILL FOLLOW FOR PLAN
AND I FELT LIKE EVERY SCHOOL
THAT I WENT TO DON'T REALLY CARE
ABOUT THE FACT THAT I NEEDED
THAT EXTRA AN INDIVIDUAL HELP.
FROM TEACHERS I NEVER GOT THAT
AND THAT'S WHY I WAS FEELING
MOSTLY ALL MY CLASSES AND I'M
GETTING ANYTHING DONE.
AND I WAS FALLING BEHIND IN A
LOT AND EVERYTHING AND SO I WENT
TO THE CHARTER SYSTEM AND IT WAS
THE BEST THING I EVER DID.
I WENT IN AND I FEEL LIKE I
REALLY GOT A SECOND CHANCE AT
SCHOOLING.
MY FIVE OH FOR PRIME WAS
RESPECTED AND I GOT THE
INDIVIDUAL HELP I NEEDED AND I
FELT SO MUCH BETTER AND MORE
CONFIDENT IN MY FUTURE AND THAT
I WAS GOING TO GRADUATE ON TIME.
AND IT IS GOOD SHOT DOWN
EVERYONE INCLUDING ME WILL BE
PUSHED BACK INTO THE PUBLIC
SYSTEM AND EVERYTHING WILL NOT
WILL BE THE SAME AS IT WAS
BEFORE.
AND I HONESTLY THOUGHT THAT'S
NOT THE BEST THING FOR ME.
BECAUSE THEN THERE GOES MY HOPE
FOR PLAN AND MY GRADES ARE GONNA
SLIP AND WHAT I'M TRYING TO SAY
IS THAT WE AS KIDS AND
ASSISTANCE ON DESERVED COVER
SCHOOL SHUT DOWN WE DESERVE A
GREAT EDUCATION AS WELL AS
EVERYONE ELSE.

THANK YOU WILL BRING IT BACK
BEHIND THE RAIL -- FOR QUESTIONS
FROM ANY COMMITTEE MEMBERS I
JUST WANTED.
I THINK.
MAYBE THE AUTHOR SHOULD CLARIFY
I DON'T THINK THIS BILLS AIMED
AT H
ANY FASHION AS IF WE'RE NOT
YOU'RE NOT SEEKING. TO STOP
PEOPLE FROM HOME SCHOOLING ARE
RIGHT THANK YOU MISTER TERRY
PRETTY THE OPPORTUNITY TO
CLARIFY THAT SO -- WE ACTUALLY
ARE PLANNING ON WORKING ON ONE
ADDITIONAL SET OF AMENDMENTS
WHICH WOULD GRANDFATHER IN
EXISTING CHARTERS AND THAT MAY
BE WHAT SOME OF THIS OPPOSITION
IS SPEAKING TO OF THEIR CHOOSING
A HOMESCHOOL OPTION NOW THAT.
THAT MAY HAVE PRIOR BEEN LOCATED
OUTSIDE OF A DISTRICT WE ARE
GOING -- TO SEEK TO GO AHEAD AND
GRANDFATHER THOSE SO THAT WILL
BE ACCOMMODATED I'M AND WE ALSO
PLAN ON ADDING FLEXIBILITY RICK
REGARDING -- OPERATIONS AND
CITING AFTER NATURAL DISASTERS
AND EMERGENCIES AS WE RECENTLY
SIGNED PARADISE SOMETIMES
NECESSARY FOR CHARTER TO GO
AHEAD AND AND LOCATE OUTSIDE OF
ITS BOUNDARY -- IN AN EMERGENCY
SITUATION SO WE ARE GONNA BE
TAKING THOSE AMENDMENTS BUT YOU
KNOW TO FURTHER CLARIFY AND AND
IN SEPARATION FROM THE PRIOR.
FIFTEEN HUNDRED SERIES OF BILLS
IT'S BEEN DISCUSSED THIS HAS
BEEN A VEXING PROBLEM FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS AN INITIAL
VERSION OF THIS BILL WAS
AUTHORED BY SENATOR PRACTICE FAN
FRIEND POWERFULLY IT WAS -- SB
TWELVE SIXTY THREE IT CLEARED
BOTH HOUSES OF THE LEGISLATURE
UNFORTUNATELY WAS NOT SIGNED BY
GOVERNOR BROWN BECAUSE HAD IT
BEEN WE COULD HAVE STOP TO THOSE
ABUSES.
YEARS AGO AND WE WOULDN'T BE
HERE TODAY BUT THE ONGOING
CHALLENGE REMAINS AND YOU KNOW I
SAY ON BEHALF OF THE THE LOCAL
SCHOOL DISTRICT THAT I REPRESENT
THAT WENT THROUGH THIS ONE
CHALLENGE WITH THIS.
ONE AUTHORIZED -- AND AND ONE
BAD ACTOR IN THE CHARTER SPACE
WE SPENT WELL IN EXCESS OF A
MILLION DOLLARS.
IN NOT ONLY VETTING THIS CHARTER
PETITION BY HIRING ACCOUNTANTS
AND BY HIRING CONSULTANTS TO
REVIEW THEIR ACADEMIC PLAN BUT
ALSO IN WHAT WE SPENT IN LEGAL
COSTS.
IT STRAINED OUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH OUR COMMUNITY BECAUSE THEY
THE CHARTER AS A LOCATED WITHIN
OUR BOUNDARIES WERE NOT
NECESSARILY ALWAYS GOOD
NEIGHBORS THERE WERE TRAFFIC
ISSUES.
AND THEN OF COURSE THERE WERE
CONCERNS WHEN THE SCHOOL DID
CLOSE DUE TO THAT FINANCIAL
MISMANAGEMENT SO.
WHAT I AM SAYING IS THIS IS A
GOOD GOVERNANCE BILL THAT IS
LONG -- OVER DOOM AND I
RESPECTFULLY URGE YOUR AYE VOTE
TODAY.
GREAT THANK YOU.
I AGREE THAT IT IS LONG OVERDUE
AND I JUST.
I'LL SAY IT FOR YOU BUT YOU SAID
IT YOU'RE NOT SEEKING TO STOP
THEM FROM HOME SCHOOLING YOUR
CHILDREN.
I DON'T KNOW WHERE THAT CAME
FROM BUT IT IS NOT TRUE.
IT IS NOT TRUE IF YOU HAVE BEEN
LED TO BELIEVE THAT YOU HAVE
BEEN LED DOWN THE WRONG PATH SO
WITH THAT -- THERE ANY OTHER
COMMENTS MANY THE COMMITTEE
MEMBERS.
AND ARE THERE ANY TINO COMMENTS
MR KILEY THANK YOU.
OUR FIRST ONE THANK EVERYONE WHO
CAME TO TESTIFY TODAY -- I KNOW
IT'S BEEN A LONG DAY -- AND BUT
IT'S SO SO IMPORTANT THAT THE
AUTHORS THESE BILLS CONCEALED
UNDER PACKED UNDERSTAND THE
IMPACT IT'LL HAVE ON YOU SO I
THINK SEVERAL IT CAME OUT --
ASSEMBLYMEMBERS WHAT I DO JUST
HAVE A FEW PAN AYE AYE TECHNICAL
QUESTIONS AND GOOD EVENING I
THINK FOR AN EVENING NOW -- BUT
YOU JUST SAID YOU WERE TAKEN AND
LOOKING AMENDMENT YOU TAKE --
THAT WOULD.
GRANDFATHER IN RESOURCE CENTERS
THAT ARE -- CURRENTLY OUTSIDE
THE BOUNDARIES OF THEIR
AUTHORIZING DISTRICT -- SO IT
ALSO GRANT YOU GRANDFATHER IN.
RESOURCE CENTERS THAT ARE
OUTSIDE THE BOUNDARIES OF THEIR
AUTHORIZING DISTRICT WHETHER
THOSE ARE IN A DIFFERENT COUNTY
AND THE DISTRICT OP RESIN OR
WITHIN THE SAME COUNTY IS THAT
RIGHT.
THE FOR THOSE THAT ARE CURRENTLY
EXISTING WE NEED TO FIGURE OUT
WHAT THOSE DEFINITIONS LOOK LIKE
WE WE PLAN ON WORKING ON WITH
THE OPPOSITION AS WELL AS OUR
ALLIES IN MAKING SURE WE'VE GOT
SOME CLARITY ON THAT.
OKAY THAT'S GOOD TO HEAR THANK
YOU ON AND SO I I THINK I I FOR
YOUR ARGUMENT AS FAR AS WHY YOU
DON'T WANT -- RESOURCE CENTERS
OPERATING OUTSIDE THE DISTRICT
THEIR AUTHORIZED MISTER NORM BUT
WHAT IF THERE'S EXTENUATING
CIRCUMSTANCES LIKE THERE ARE
FACILITIES IN VAIL AVAILABLE
WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
AUTHORIZED INDUSTRY WITH THE
BILL ALSO PROHIBIT THAT.
WELL YEAH I MEAN UNFORTUNATELY
BECAUSE THAT'S WHERE THE
GREATEST ABUSES BEEN RIGHT IS
THAT IS THAT LITERALLY THAT
ASPECT OF THIS LOOPHOLE WAS
WHAT'S BEEN EXPLOITED -- AND YOU
KNOW THEY DID FOR TO GO INTO A
NEIGHBORING DISTRICT IN
NEIGHBORING COUNTY AND SAY WELL
THERE ARE FACILITIES AVAILABLE --
AND SO YEAH UNFORTUNATELY
BECAUSE THERE'S BEEN SO MUCH
ABUSE IT WILL I THINK WE'RE AT
KNOW NOW I'M AND NUMBER OF THESE
FOLKS WHO ARE HERE REPRESENTING --
PLACES YOU KNOW VERY OFTEN IF
IT'S A RESOURCE CENTER NOW
THEY'RE THEY'RE ABLE TO FIND A
LOCATION IN A STRIP MALL
LOCATION AND BUSINESS CENTER
THAT KIND OF THING SO THERE'S A
LITTLE BIT MORE FLEXIBILITY
AROUND THE KIND OF SPACES ON
THAT THEY'D BE.
ABLE TO BE ACCOMMODATED IN DO
YOU THINK YOU MIGHT BE ABLE TO
WORK -- TO MAYBE -- MORE
STRICTLY RAIN IN WHAT YOU
PERCEIVE TO BE THE ABUSES
WITHOUT AT WHILE STILL ALLOWING
FOR SOME -- OPTION OF LOCATING
OUT OF DISTRICT EXTENUATING
CIRCUMSTANCES WELL I MEAN I
WOULD HOPE SO BUT AGAIN THIS IS
CONVERSATIONS THAT HAVE BEEN
HAPPENING ON WITH AND PRIOR TO
HIS TENURE -- WITH THAT YOU KNOW
CHARTER SCHOOLS FOLKS FOR A
NUMBER OF YEARS I MEAN WE'VE
ASKED AND AND LITERALLY THE ONLY
RECOURSE MY DISTRICT WAS LEFT
WITH WAS LITIGATION.
WE ASKED WE DID WE WENT TO THE
AUTHORIZING DISTRICT AND ASK
THEM NOT TO AUTHORIZE WE ASK HIM
TO RECONSIDER -- AND IN MANY
CASES THERE THERE IS A LAB LEVEL
OF KIND OF ABSTINENCE AROUND
THIS MATTER AND THAT THAT HASN'T
REALLY GOTTEN US TO A GOOD PLACE
AND AND IS IS SIMPLY IS A MATTER
OF GOOD GOVERNANCE I MEAN IF YOU
THINK IF YOU WILL.
YOU KNOW IT THE SCHOOL BOARD IS
A MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT AND A
CITY IS A MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENTS
OF THE CITY ABOUT GROW SAID TO
THE CITY OF SACRAMENTO WELL WE
NEED MORE LAW ENFORCEMENT BUT WE
DON'T KNOW PLACE TO LOCATED
WITHIN OUR CITY SO WE'RE
BUILDING A NEW POLICE DEPARTMENT.
IN YOUR CITY.
BUT YOU HAVE NO OVERSIGHT OVER
IT YOU CAN'T CONTROL WHAT
HAPPENS WITH THE COMINGS OR
GOINGS OF LOGISTICS OR THE
TRAFFIC AROUND IT I DON'T THINK
VERY MANY OF US WHO CARE ABOUT
LOCAL CONTROL LOCAL GOVERNMENT
WOULD.
SUPPORT THAT RIGHT AND SO WE
NEED TO RESTORE THIS IDEA OF THE
JURISDICTIONAL SOVEREIGNTY OF A
SCHOOL BOARD AND THAT'S WHAT WAS
REALLY IMPORTANT TO ME TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE CRAFTED THIS IN A
WAY.
AT THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION WAS ON BOARD BECAUSE
WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THOUSANDS OF
PEOPLE ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA WHO HAVE BEEN ELECTED
TO DO THIS WORK. TO TRY TO HELP
THE STATE MANAGE THESE REALLY
PRECIOUS RESOURCES ACROSS THE
SPECTRUM OF THE SCHOOLS THAT
THEY AUTHORIZE AND REPRESENT SO
I FEEL LIKE THE TIME IS NOW TO
FOR ITS TO A LEASE CLOSE THE
CHAPTER ON THIS MATTER THAT WE
KNOW WE CAN GET TO NOW.
IN AND I I I JUST WANTED TO
THINK THAT -- THE AUTHOR AS WELL
FOR GREEN TO TAKE SOME
AMENDMENTS AND MISTER COLLEY
APPRECIATE YOUR YOUR QUESTIONS I
WILL SAY -- JUST ACKNOWLEDGE
THAT WE BELIEVE THAT.
THERE IS A GREAT NEED FOR
OVERSIGHT OF AUTHORIZES
PARTICULARLY.
SMALL AUTHORIZES AUTHORIZES THAT
MIGHT AUTHORIZED CHARTERS THAT
WITH A WITH AN ENROLLMENT THAT'S
LARGER THAN THEIR OWN -- WHICH
SHOULD INVITE SOME STREET
SCRUTINY BY SOME.
HIGHER AUTHORITY RIGHT I'M GONNA
REMEMBER YOU JUST SAID THAT WELL
LET'S LET'S I DON'T HEAR THAT
REALLY.
GOT IT DONE AND I APPRECIATE
THAT YOU WERE SAYING I KNOW I
HONESTLY I DO APPRECIATE YEAH.
WELL INTO THE POINT WE HAVE A
VERY SPECIAL AND SIGNIFICANT
RESPONSIBILITY TO ADDRESS THAT
NEED AS WELL WE HAVE STRUGGLING
RURAL DISTRICTS IN DECLINING
ENROLLMENT WHOSE COSTS OF
OPERATION DON'T CHANGE
NECESSARILY IN RELATION TO
EIGHTY A DIMINISHMENT RIGHT.
THEY HAVE TO KEEP THE LIGHTS ON
THEY HAVE TO KEEP A CERTAIN
NUMBER OF STAFF BASED ON
STUDENTS THAT THEY HAVE WE'VE
GOT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT AS A
FUNDING CHALLENGE ON OUR IN TO
MAKE SURE WE'RE ADDRESSING THAT
IS A PIECE OF THIS OVERALL
CONVERSATION AS WELL.
YEAH AND THE LAST THING IS THAT
THERE'S A SEPARATE VERSION OF
THE BILL THAT SAYS THAT EVEN IF
YOU'RE RESOURCE CENTERS WITHIN
THE BOUNDARIES OF THE
AUTHORIZING DISTRICT YOU CAN
ONLY HAVE ONE OF THEM.
YEAH WHAT'S THE WHAT'S THE
RATIONALE FOR THAT.
WELL WE'RE HOPING THAT ONE
SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT RIGHT I
MEAN WHAT WE KIND OF WANT TO NOT
HAVE TO DO IS BE PLAYING THE GO
FOR GAME AS RESOURCE CENTERS POP
UP ALL OVER THE PLACE IT'S
EASIER FOR AN AUTHORIZED OR TO
HAVE OVERSIGHT ON AND MAINTAIN
YOU NO.
ISSUES WITH QUALITY AND SAFETY
AT THAT ONE RESOURCE CENTER SAYS
IT'S A MATTER AGAIN OF A LINE OF
SIGHT AND EFFECTIVE
AUTHORIZATION I CAN SEE HOW
MAYBEIT THAT YOU KNOW.
MIGHT MAKE SOME SENSE FOR REALLY
COMPACT DISTRICT WHEN YOU LOOK
AT RURAL AREAS THAT THAT WE'RE
TALKING LARGE AMOUNTS OF
TERRITORY POTENTIALLY FOR ONE
DISTRICT AND SO YOU FEEL CAN
ONLY HAVE ONE THAT YOU'RE GONNA
HAVE A LOT OF KIDS WHO.
GOT TO DRIVE A LONG WAY JUST TO
GET THERE SO LET ME ONE WELL
WHICH IS ALSO A CHALLENGE FOR
OUR NEIGHBORHOOD PUBLIC SCHOOLS
RIGHT IN IN AREAS LIKE THAT IS
SOMETHING THAT WE NEED TO THINK
ABOUT CERTAINLY SOME A PLACE WE
CAN GO.
IN THE FUTURE.
SO YOU'RE WILLING TO LOOK AT
POTENTIALLY -- MODIFYING THAT
PROVISION TO ALLOW FOR MORE THAN
ONE RESOURCE CENTER WITHIN THE
BOUNDARIES OF THE NOT AT THIS
TIME BECAUSE I THINK THIS LEVEL
OF CLARITY AND SPECIFICITY IS
ESSENTIAL FOR US TO BE ABLE TO
CLOSE THIS LOOPHOLE AND HOW
PEOPLE ACTING IN GOOD FAITH.
BUT GOING FORWARD WITH BOTH.
TRADITIONAL NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOLS
AND SCHOOLS OF CHOICE I THINK WE
WANT TO BE LOOKING AT ACCESS AND
DISTANCE RELATIVE TO WHERE FOLKS
LIVE [inaudible]

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN AND
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE -- AT
MY WITNESSES HAVE BEEN HERE ALL
DAY AND THEY HAVE A PLANE TO
CATCH SO UNFORTUNATELY THEY HAVE
TO LEAVE AT SIX FORTY FIVE SO
I'M GOING TO JUST ROLL RIGHT
THROUGH THIS IF YOU DON'T MIND
DOING -- I WANT TO BEGIN MY
TESTIMONY FIRST BY ACCEPTING THE
IT COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS CURRENT
THINK CHAIR FOR HIS ASSISTANCE
IN CRAFTING THE BILL IN THIS WAY
THIS BILL DOES TOO SIMPLE THINGS.
FIRST IT WILL REQUIRE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS TO PROVIDE THE
OPPORTUNITY FOR CPR TRAINING AND
SECOND IT REQUIRES CREDENTIALED
EDUCATORS TO PROVIDE A VALID CPR
CERTIFICATE. TO THE COMMISSION
ON TEACHER CREDENTIALING WHEN IT
COMES TIME FOR THEM TO RENEW
THEIR THEIR CREDENTIALS I AM
GOING TO REFER THE REST OF MY
TIME TO MY WITNESS WHO IS HERE
TO SPEAK TODAY I'M.
SABRINA PEERS AND AND HER
HUSBAND RODRIGUEZ PEERS ARE HERE
TO SPEAK -- THEY ARE THE WHOLE
REASON FOR THIS BILL -- AND I
WOULD LIKE TO TURN IT OVER TO
THEM.
GOOD EVENING MY NAME IS SABRINA
PIERCE AND I AM THE MOTHER OF
ALEX PIERCE.
MY BLONDE HAIR BLUE EYED FRECKLE
FACED SWEET BOYS WOULD BE WITH
HIS FAMILY RIGHT NOW.
FIDGETING IN HIS SEAT SMILING
AND JOKING AROUND WITH US IF
SOMEONE AT THE SCHOOL ANYONE HAD
PERFORMED CPR ON MY SON.
IN JUNE TWO THOUSAND SIXTEEN
ALEX WAS A SEVENTH GRADE STUDENT
SWIMMING AT A SCHOOL SPONSORED
PARTY AT THE HIGH SCHOOL POOL
WITH HIS CLASSMATES WHEN HE
SLIPPED UNDER THE WATER WHILE
UNDER THE SUPERVISION OF
MARIETTA VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT STAFF AND PERSONAL.
IT WASN'T THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
STAFF PERSONNEL.
OR EVEN THE LIFEGUARDS THAT CAME
TO MY SON'S IMMEDIATE RESCUE IT
WAS HIS MIDDLE SCHOOL CLASSMATES
THAT PULLED HIM FROM THE BOTTOM
OF THE POOL.
AND DELIVERED HIM TO LIFEGUARDS
WHO MISSY VALUE WAITED HIS
TREATMENT AND PLACE THEM ON A
FLOATING BACKBOARD IN THE POLL
WITHOUT CHECKING HIS AIRWAY HIS
BREATHING HIS CIRCULATION OR
REMOVING HIM FROM THE POOL TO
ADMINISTER CPR.
MY SON WAS ONLY UNDER WATER FOR
TWO MINUTES.
BUT WAS WITHOUT OXYGEN FOR NINE
MINUTES.
ONLY ONE TEACHER AT THE POOL
PARTY WAS CPR CERTIFIED HE
CLAIMED HE WAS NOT WORKING AT
THIS TIME.
IF SOMEONE ANYONE HAD PERFORM
CPR AND ALEX HE WOULD BE WITH US
TODAY TO SHARE HIS STORY OF
SURVIVAL AND HE WOULD CELEBRATE
HIS SEVENTEENTH BIRTHDAY IN
AUGUST.
INSTEAD I STAND BEFORE YOU NOW
IS A MOTHER WITH THE SUPPORT OF
MY FAMILY AND AS AN ADVOCATE FOR
THE MILLIONS OF SCHOOL AGE
CHILDREN LIKE ALEX.
WHOSE PARENTS AND TRUST THE
SAFETY OF THEIR CHILD TO THEIR
SCHOOL.
SHOULDN'T SCHOOL DISTRICT STOCK
AND PERSONAL BE EQUIPPED WITH
ALL THE NECESSARY TOOLS TO
ENSURE THE SAFETY OF THAT CHILD
AND EVEN SAVE A CHILD'S LIFE IN
A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
CHILDREN ARE IN SCHOOL FOR MORE
THAN ONE THOUSAND EIGHTY SIX
HOURS EACH SCHOOL YEAR THEY
SPEND MORE TIME IN SCHOOL AND
THEY DO IN THEIR OWN HOME.
CPR IS AN EXTREMELY IMPORTANT
TOOL.
IN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY BOTH ON
AN OFF CAMPUS WHAT IF YOUR
CHILD HAD AN ASTHMA ATTACK.
ON A SCHOOL FIELD TRIP OR HEART
FAILURE RECESS OR DROWNED AT A
SCHOOL SPONSORED SWIM PARTY LIKE
MY ALEX.
I SERVED SEVENTEEN YEARS IN THE
NAVY AND MY HUSBAND SERVE.
NINE BOTH OF US THOUGHT THAT
WHILE WE WERE FIGHTING FOR OUR
COUNTRY OUR CHILDREN WOULD BE
SAFE AND SOUND IN SCHOOL.
NO PARENT SHOULD GET A PHONE
CALL SAYING THAT YOUR SON OR
DAUGHTER IS ON THEIR WAY TO THE
HOSPITAL BECAUSE OF AN ACCIDENT.
AT SCHOOL AND THEY DON'T KNOW IF
HE OR SHE IS GOING TO MAKE IT.
IT'S A NIGHTMARE AND NO ONE
WOULD EVER KNOW HOW BROKEN WE
FEEL UNLESS THEY'VE LOST A CHILD
THEMSELVES.
AS A PARENT YOU WANT TO MAKE
SURE YOUR CHILD THE STEEP AT
SCHOOL AND THE STAFF SUPERVISING
YOUR SON OR DAUGHTER KNOWS WHAT
TO DO WHEN A MEDICAL EMERGENCY.
HOW AND WHEN TO PERFORM CPR IS A
BASIC LIFE SAVING SKILL?
THAT SHOULD BE REQUIRED OF ALL
ADULTS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE
SAFETY OF OUR CHILD WHILE THE
CHILD IS IN HIM OR HIS OR HER
CARE.
EVERY TIME OUR CHILDREN WERE
DISCHARGED FROM THE NECK YOU WE
HAD TO LEARN CPR AND FIRST AID.
WHY IS THIS NOT A BASIC TEACHING
REQUIREMENTS?
MORE NEEDS TO BE DONE TO ENSURE
THE BASIC SAFETY OF OUR CHILDREN
DURING A MEDICAL EMERGENCY AT
SCHOOL AND CPR INSTRUCTION
SHOULD BE REQUIRED OF ALL
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF.
MY FAMILY AND I ARE STEADFAST IN
OUR FIGHT TO ENSURE THAT NO
PARENT OR FAMILY SUFFERS.
THE LOSS OF A CHILD LIKE WE HAVE.
WE ARE THANKFUL FOR ASSEMBLY ONE
MELINDA'S IN DRAFTING THIS BILL
AND FOR HER DEDICATION
ADVOCATING FOR FAMILIES TO
ENTRUST SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH
THE SAFETY OF THEIR CHILDREN.
THANK YOU.
YOUR NEXT WITNESS -- DOES
ANYBODY ELSE WANT TO SPEAK I
THINK SHE PRETTY MUCH SAID IT
ALL FOR EVERYONE I BELIEVE SO
WE'RE SORRY EVERY TRAGEDY -- ARE
THERE ANY OTHERS IN SUPPORT.
OF THE BILL.
ANY OPPOSITION TO THE BILL.
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS I'M
ISABEL GARCIA WITH THE
CALIFORNIA TEACHERS ASSOCIATION
WE FIRST WANT TO EXTEND OUR
DEEPEST CONDOLENCES AND
SYMPATHIES TO MR MRS PIERCE.
ON FOR THEIR AND THEIR
PASSIONATE ADVOCACY WHICH WE
SHARE.
AND WE AGREE WITH THE AUTHOR
THAT.
CPR IS AN IMPORTANT LIFE SKILL
FOR EVERYONE.
BUT IN PARTICULARLY FOR THE BEST
INTERESTS OF OUR STUDENTS.
AND WE'RE ONLY OPPOSING THE
PROVISION IN THE BILL EVEN WITH
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS.
ON AT THAT PLACE IS AN UNRELATED
ON CERTIFICATED STAFF.
THAT BEFORE THEY RENEW THEIR
CREDENTIALS THEY HAVE TO TAKE A
CPR.
CLASS AND WE BELIEVE THAT EVERY
SCHOOL EMPLOYEE WHETHER THEY'RE
CERTIFICATED OR NON CERTIFICATED.
SHOULD HAVE -- DISTRICT PROVIDED
CPR TRAINING.
AND I CALLED A FEW LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS
REQUIRE CPR TRAINING FOR THEIR
SECRETARIES FOR THEIR COACHES
AND THEIR HEALTH TEACHERS.
OTHERS REQUIRED FOR DIFFERENT
PEOPLE AND THEY'VE PROVIDED OR
THEY REIMBURSE.
SO WE ARE SAYING THAT FOR THE
BEST INTEREST OF STUDENTS.
DISTRICTS SHOULD BE PROVIDING
CPR FOR ALL THEIR SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES.
AND IT'S MY UNDERSTANDING THAT
THE DISTRICT.
THAT WERE THIS TRAGEDY HAPPENED
THE POSTPONEMENT THEY ARE WE
PROVIDING CPR FOR ALL OF THEIR
EMPLOYEES.
WE'RE SAYING THAT'S WHERE THE
BILL SHOULD BE AND WE'RE WE'RE
OPEN TO WORKING WITH THE AUTHORS.
TO BRING THE BILL TO THAT PLACE
AND NOT.
PUT UP IN AN UNRELATED BEER
YOU'RE IN THE CREDENTIALING
PROCESS WHICH IS ALREADY
COMPLICATED AS TO DO.
AND WE'RE STAYING YOU'RE ONLY
REACHING SOME OF THIS EMPLOYEES
AND NOT ALL OF THE EMPLOYEES --
SO WE'RE SEEING THAT IT SHOULD
BE IT FOR THE NON CERTIFICATED
IN THE CERTIFICATED STAFF AND
THAT'S WHERE WE WOULD LIKE TO
SEE THE BILL GO AND AGAIN WE'RE
HOPING. TO TO WORKING WITH YOU
GOING FORWARD TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE GET TO THAT PLACE AND IT'S
FOR THE BEST INTEREST OF THE

TIMELY PIECE OF LEGISLATION I

AND WITH THAT I MOVE THE BILL.
THANK YOU.
BILL'S BEEN MOVED AND MISS
MCCARTY WISHES SECOND YOU HAVE
CALM YEAH A SECOND AND ALSO I
I'M A BIG SUPPORTER THIS THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER AND I'VE BEEN
WORKING THE LAST COUPLE YEARS IN
THE BUDGET AS YOU KNOW MISTER
DONALD. TO INVEST IN
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN TWO
LANGUAGE INSTRUCTION IN THE
VOTERS SPOKE LOUD AND CLEAR IT
PROP FIFTY EIGHT THIS ISN'T.
THE BILINGUAL EDUCATION FROM
TWENTY YEARS AGO THIS IS ABOUT
MAKING SURE OUR LEARNERS OF
TODAY AND TOMORROW ARE LITERATE
IN MORE THAN ONE LANGUAGE THAT'S
A FUTURE IN THIS GLOBAL
WORKPLACE SO.
THIS IS CRITICALLY IMPORTANT
THIS IS A BILL THAT HAS A MONEY
COSTS I KNOW WE'LL BE TALKING
ABOUT THIS AS WE GO ALONG.
THROUGH THE BUDGET PROCESS AS
WELL THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK
YOU -- THE MOTION IS.
YET ONE MORE YOU GUYS LEVEL IS
JUST A QUICK QUESTION BECAUSE I
KNOW WE HAVE TIME ISSUES --
WOULD LIKE WHICH IS ARE WE
TALKING ABOUT WITH THIS
PARTICULAR PROGRAM.
ALL.
WHATEVER THE LANGUAGES MOST
PEOPLE THINK THAT WHEN WE TALK
ABOUT BI LINGUAL.
IT'S SPANISH AND ENGLISH THAT IS
THE MAJORITY BUT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT ALL THE LANGUAGES.
SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS -- OFFER A
CANTONESE PROGRAM THERE ARE ALSO
ARMENIAN PROGRAMS DOWN IN LOS
ANGELES SO IT REALLY DEPENDS ON
YOUR POPULATION VIETNAMESE COME
I MEAN ARE YOU LOOKING.
YEAH ARE YOU LOOKING AT
ALTERNATIVE WAYS OF DOING IT
OTHER THAN JUST.
I DON'T THINK IT'S A CHALLENGE
TO TRY TO FIND BILINGUAL
TEACHERS OBVIOUSLY.
AND IF EVERYONE HAS TO HAVE A
BILINGUAL TEACHER THAT'S A REAL
CHALLENGE -- I KNOW THERE'S BEEN
SOME GERMAN PROGRAMS WHERE.
WHERE WHERE THERE'S A TRADE OFF
EVERY EVERY WEEK IN SO THAT ONLY
HALF OF THE STAFF AS THE HIT
SPEAK GERMAN AND THEY DO
EXTREMELY WELL?
YOU KNOW SO THAT I THINK BECAUSE
I THINK IT DELAYS US TO KEEP
THINKING THAT WE HAVE TO HAVE IT
A A A TEACHER WHO SPEAKS TWO
LANGUAGES IN EVERY CLASSROOM.
AND DOG I WAS IMPRESSED WITH THE
THE EINSTEIN ACADEMY IN SAN
DIEGO AND HAD SOME FRIENDS KIDS
IN AND WHERE.
EVERY OTHER WEEK ONE WEEK THEY
WERE WITH THE GERMAN TEACHER THE
NEXT WEEK THEY WERE WITH THE
ENGLISH SPEAKING TEACHER AND THE
REALITY WAS THAT IF THEY ONLY
pGERMAN.
AND THE KIDS ALL CAME UP
BILINGUAL SO I'M JUST SAYING
THAT NUMBER OF MODELS TO LOOK AT
AND SO RATHER THAN SLOW US DOWN
BECAUSE WE'RE ALL IN FAVOR OF IT.
WE NEED LOOK AT SOME OTHER
ALTERNATIVE MODELS RATHER THAN
EVERY TEACHER HAVING TO BE IN
SCHOOL VIOLENCE.
YEAH BUT I SUPPORT THE THE
EFFORTS.
THANK YOU FOR COMING WE'LL LOOK
INTO THAT.
TOO CAN YOU DID AGREE TO ACCEPT
THE AMENDMENTS.

APPRECIATE THE CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR WORKING WITH
ME ON THIS BILL -- TODAY I'M
HAPPY POST TO BE AMENDED THE
BILL WILL APPLY ONLY TO STUDENTS
WHO ARE VICTIMS OF BULLYING AND
WILL ALLOW THEM TO TRANSFER. TO
ANOTHER SCHOOL WITHIN THE
DISTRICT AS LONG AS THE OTHER
SCHOOL HAS THE CAPACITY TO
ACCEPT A NEW STUDENT.
IF THERE ARE NO OPTIONS TO
TRANSFER WITHIN THE DISTRICT
THIS MEASURE WILL ALSO ALLOW THE
STUDENT WAS A VICTIM OF BULLYING
TO APPLY FOR A TRANSFER OUTSIDE
OF THE DISTRICT.
WHICH THE SCHOOL OF ORIGIN
CANNOT REJECT.
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT TO NOTE
THAT ALTHOUGH THERE ARE
PROVISIONS IN THE LAW.
THAT ALLOWS STUDENTS TO TRANSFER
WITHIN AND OUT OF THE DISTRICT.
THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT A
TRANSFER WILL BE GRANTED.
GIVEN THE DATA PROVING THE
PREVALENCE OF BULLYING AND THE
NEGATIVE EFFECTS HOUSE.

BILL THAT IS SUPPORTED BOTH BY
TRADITIONAL PUBLIC SCHOOLS AND
BY CHARTER SCHOOL ADVOCATES.
AND YOU KNOW I I I I I HAD
BUSLOADS OF OF SUPPORTERS HERE
BUT I THINK THEYALL WENT HOME
READY.
SO.
THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND
ATTENTION I KNOW IT'S BEEN A
VERY LONG DAY THANK YOU TO THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR YOUR
THOUGHTFUL.
CONSIDERATION I ACCEPT THE
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS I'M HERE TO
PRESENT ASSEMBLY BILL THIRTY
NINE THE BILL THAT REFERS TO
WHAT MAKES YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
AND WHAT MISTER MCCARTY REFERRED
TO EARLIER THAT.
WE WOULD BE AVOIDING A LOT OF
THE ALL THESE PROBLEMS THAT
YOU'VE BEEN DISCUSSING TODAY IF
WE HAD FULL AND FAIR FUNDING FOR
ALL SCHOOLS.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA.
THIS BILL THAT I AM PRESENTING
IT PROPOSES A ROAD MAP TO GET
CALIFORNIA BACK TO WHERE WE USED
TO BE.
AMONG THE TOP TEN IN THE NATION
AND K. THROUGH TWELVE PER PEOPLE
SPENDING.
THIS BILL -- PAPA PROPOSES FULL
AND FAIR FUNDING FOR ALL SCHOOL
KIDS IN CALIFORNIA REGARDLESS OF
WHERE YOU LIVE.
THERE ARE THREE MAIN POINTS THAT
I WANT TO BRIEFLY EMPHASIZE
BEFORE TURN OVER TO MY MY
WITNESS BECAUSE MY SECOND WHEN
THIS ONE ALREADY.
BUT THE FIRST POINT I'D LIKE TO
EMPHASIZE IS THAT THIS IS NOT A
NEW IDEA WE DID THIS BEFORE WHEN
WE ADOPTED THE LCF AT THE LOCAL
CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA AND
TWENTY THIRTEEN SOME OF US
INCLUDING -- DOCTOR WEBER AND
AND MISTER O'DONNELL AND AND
MYSELF WE WERE HAND THE
LEGISLATURE AT THAT TIME WHEN WE
ADOPTED LC FF.
AND AT THAT TIME AS YOU WELL
KNOW MISTER CHAIR WE ADOPTED
FUNDING TARGETS TO GET
CALIFORNIA BACK -- THEN TO WHERE
WE USED TO BE BEFORE THE BUDGET
CUTS THE LEGISLATURE HAD TO MAKE
DURING THE GREAT RECESSION.
GOVERNOR BROWN PUSHED THOSE --
THE DEAD TWENTY THIRTEEN FUNDING
TARGETS THESE FUNDING TARGETS
THAT WE ADOPTED IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN PROVIDED THE ROAD MAP
OR THE BENCHMARK SPIKE WHICH ME
MEASURE WE MEASURE OUR PROGRESS
TOWARD ACHIEVING.
OUR GOAL AND THANKS TO A STRONG
ECONOMIC RECOVERY WE RESTORED
THIRTY ONE BILLION DOLLARS AND
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT FUNDING
IN THE LAST SEVEN YEARS.
AND IN TWENTY EIGHTEEN WE MET
THE FUNDING TARGETS TWO YEARS
AHEAD OF THE GOVERNOR'S TIMELINE.
THIS BILL PROPOSES WHAT I'M
CALLING L. C. F. F. TWO POINT NO.
NOW THAT WE MET OUR FIRST ROUND
OF FUNDING TARGETS RESTORE
EDUCATION FUNDING CUTS MADE
DURING THE RECESSION WE NEED A
NEW SET OF FUNDING GOALS TO GET
CALIFORNIA BACK TO THE TOP TEN
IN THE NATION.
IN PER PUPIL SPENDING.
WE DID THIS BEFORE WE CAN DO IT
AGAIN.
SECOND POINT I WANT TO EMPHASIZE
THIS BILL PROPOSES A ROAD MAP
NOT AN APPROPRIATION WE ALL KNOW
THAT THE SCHOOL FUNDING IS
ULTIMATELY DETERMINED BY THE
BUDGET BILL THAT WE PASSED EVERY
YEAR.
THIS BILL PROVOKED OPPOSES THE
PLAN WITH FUNDING TYPE TARGETS
TO GUIDE OUR FUTURE BUDGET
DELIBERATIONS THIS BILL DOES NOT
BY ITSEF CREATE A THIRTY FIVE
BILLION DOLLAR OBLIGATION.
FINAL POINT IT'S A TIME LINE FOR
THESE FUNDING TARGETS GOVERNOR
BROWN'S BASED GRANT FUNDING
TARGETS WAS DALLAS IN TWENTY
THIRTEEN BUT HE CREATED AN EIGHT
YEAR TIMELINE TO CHIEF.
HAS FUNDING TARGETS THAT TIME
LINE WAS NOT WRITTEN IN STATUTE
SIMILARLY THIS BILL DOES NOT.
HAVE A TIME LINE WRITTEN IN
STATUTE BUT IN TERMS OF THE YOU
KNOW HOW WE CAN ACCOMPLISH THE
FUNDING TARGETS THAT AS PART OF
THE ONGOING CONVERSATIONS THAT
WE ARE HAVING WITH THE
GOVERNOR'S OFFICE.
AND THE BUDGET CHAIRS BUT I WANT
TO MAKE SURE EVERYONE
UNDERSTANDS THAT I'M NOT
PROPOSING A THIRTY FIVE BILLION
DOLLAR INCREASE IT ELSE YET THE
FUNDING.
IN ONE YEAR.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND LET ME TURN OVER --
TO TO MY WITNESSES SUPPORT WE
HAVE ELK GROVE UNIFIED
SUPERINTENDENT CHRISTOPHER
HOFFMAN WHO HAS BEEN VERY
PATIENTLY WAITING FOR HIS TURN
THANK YOU VERY MUCH SIR YES SIR --
SO MY NAME IS CHRIS FOR OFTEN ON
THE PRIDE SUPERINTENDENT OAK
GROVE UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT --
AND I THINK YOU FOR HEARING THIS
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION TODAY -- I
ALSO THINK OF ASSEMBLYMEMBER
SUSHI FOR HIS LEADERSHIP AND
AUTHORIZING UNEXPLAINED AB
THIRTY NINETY TONIGHT -- UNDER
REAL CFF DISTRICTS WERE ASKED TO
COLLABORATE WITH OUR
STAKEHOLDERS LOCALLY AND DEVELOP
MULTI YEAR PLANS DEVELOPED TO
MEET THE NEEDS OF STUDENTS ALL
STUDENTS.
AND AS WELL AS DOLLARS CAME BACK --
WE'VE BEEN DOING THAT SO THE
OAKLAND UNIFIED SCHOOL DISTRICT
SOME OF THE SPECIFIC THINGS THAT
WE'VE DONE -- TO INCREASE
SERVICES TO STUDENTS INCLUDE
FIVE MAJOR AREAS I WANT TO SHARE
WITH YOU TONIGHT.
NEW THINGS TO THE DISTRICT THE
OFFICE OF FAMILY COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT DIDN'T EXIST BEFORE
WE'RE NOW ABLE TO DO THAT AND
ENGAGE WITH OUR COMMUNITIES.
THE OFFICE OF EDUCATIONAL EQUITY
AGAIN A NEW DEPARTMENT IS BUILT
IN THE DISTRICT THAT SERVING OUR
STUDENTS ARE STAFF ACROSS THE
DISTRICT.
WE ALSO BUILT UP ON THINGS WE
ALREADY KNEW WERE WORKING
INSTEAD OF JUST CREATING NEW --
WE EXPAND OUR QUITE OUR K.
TWELVE LITERACY PROGRAMS WITH AN
INTENSE FOCUS ARCADE THREE
EDUCATION -- MULTI TIERED
SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT INCLUDING P.
B. I. S. AND SOCIAL EMOTIONAL
LEARNING SERVICES OF AN EXPANDED
ACROSS ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS.
WE'VE ALSO DID EXPANDED LEARNING
EXPAND OF ARNICA SUMMER SCHOOL
INTERCESSION BEFORE AND AFTER
SCHOOL PROGRAMS AS WELL AS ON
LINE OF CREDIT RECOVERY ALL
THESE THINGS ARE NOW IN PLACE.
BUT WITHOUT INCREASE FUNDING --
THROUGH WHAT IS PROPOSING
PROPERTY PROP THIRTY NINE WE
CAN'T TAKE THIS FORWARD WE HAVE
TO STAY WHERE WE ARE FOR IT WORK
WE'VE MADE GREAT PROGRESS BUT
WE'RE GOING TO TAKE THIS TO THE
NEXT LEVEL AND SERVE THE NEXT
GROUP OF KIDS.
ADDITIONAL FUNDING IS NECESSARY
WITH SUBSTANTIAL SUCCESS IS
ALREADY IN PLACE.
THE ONLY WAY WE CAN EXPAND THAT
IS DUE FOR THE FUNDING AND THAT
WAY WE CAN BETTER SERVE OUR
FOSTER YOU OUR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES AFRICAN AMERICAN
STUDENTS AND OTHER STUDENTS TO
HAVE.
A PERSISTENT ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
THE REALITY IS THE CURRENT
FUNDING ONLY ALLOWS US TO TAKE
CARE OF OUR EXISTING ONGOING
FUNDING THINGS LIKE.
RAISES THINGS LIKE STIRS
EMPERORS THINGS LIKE SPECIAL LED
ENCROACHMENT INTO OUR BUDGET --
THESE ARE THE THINGS WE KNOW WE
HAVE TO COVER AND THE CALL ONLY --
EXPENDITURES WILL ALLOW US TO DO
THAT BUT NOT ANYTHING ELSE --
WITH PROP THIRTY NINE SEASON AB
THIRTY NINE A REVIEW OF THAT
SENSE OF THE VOTERS LET THEM DO
SO WITH THAT WITH AB.
THIRTY NINE WE KNOW THIS IS A
ROAD MAP FOR ASPIRATIONAL
FUNDING WE KNOW WE'RE NOT GONNA
GET THIRTY FIVE MILLION SO THANK

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS I AM PLEASED TODAY 2%
EIGHTY SIX TWO FOUR WHICH WAR
CRIER SCHOOLS THAT CHOOSE TO
ISSUE STUDENT ID CARDS TO
INCLUDE ON THOSE CARDS PHONE
NUMBERS FOR SEXUAL ASSAULT.
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH HOTLINES
THIS LEGISLATION BUILDS ON SB
NINE SEVEN TWO WHICH WILL SOON
REQUIRE STUDENT ID CARDS IN
CALIFORNIA TO INCLUDE THE NUMBER
FOR THE NATIONAL SUICIDE.
PREVENTION LIFELINE.
THE PURPOSE OF THIS LEGISLATION
IS TO ENSURE THAT YOUNG PEOPLE
ESPECIALLY THOSE FACING A
CHALLENGING SITUATION INVOLVING
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SEXUAL ASSAULT
OR SEXUAL HEALTH.
ARE ABLE TO ACCESS TIMELY AND
ACCURATE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE
ESSENTIALTO THEIR PHYSICAL OR
MENTAL WELL BEING.
UNFORTUNATELY THERE IS A REAL AN
URGENT NEED FOR YOUNG PEOPLE TO
HAVE ACCESS TO THIS INFORMATION.
STATISTICS DEMONSTRATE THAT ONE
IN THREE TEENS WILL EXPERIENCE
TEEN DATING VIOLENCE ONE IN NINE
GIRLS WILL EXPERIENCE SEXUAL
ASSAULT OR ABUSE BEFORE AGE
EIGHTEEN AN STI RATES CONTINUE
TO RISE SOMEONE CALIFORNIA'S
TEENS AND YOUNG ADULTS.
IN SHORT IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT
THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE ACCESS TO
RESOURCES INCLUDING INFORMATION
SUPPORT COUNSELING AND TREATMENT
REGARDING SEXUAL ASSAULT
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH.
AB SIX TWO FOUR WOULD MAKE THIS
INFORMATION MORE EASILY
ACCESSIBLE ESPECIALLY FOR THOSE
WHOSE INTERNET USAGE MAY BE
MONITORED BY AN ABUSER.
I'M FORCING ONE OF MY WITNESSES
HAD TO LEAVE BUT WITH ME TO
TESTIFY IN SUPPORT IS LEE ENTRE

REQUEST YOUR AYE VOTE.
GOOD EVENING -- I'M LEON CLICK
HARVEY FROM C. B. HA WE
REPRESENT THE NONPROFIT
COMMUNITY BEHAVIOR ON HEALTH
ORGANIZATIONS ON THE PROVIDE
MENTAL HEALTH AND SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDER SERVICES ACROSS THE
STATE.
UNFORTUNATELY CALIFORNIA
STUDENTS ARE VICTIMS OF SEXUAL
ASSAULT DOMESTIC VIOLENCE AND DO
NOT ALWAYS HAVE APPROPRIATE
INFORMATION ABOUT REPRODUCTIVE
HEALTH.
EFFECTS OF SEXUAL ASSAULT AND
DOMESTIC VIOLENCE CAN BE LONG
LASTING AND COULD AFFECT A
STUDENT'S MENTAL.
NO WAY STUDENTS DON'T ALWAYS
HAVE THE ABILITY TO READ ONLY
ACCESS INFORMATION AND RESOURCES
THAT CAN HELP THEM COPE WITH
THESE ISSUES.
SO WE'RE SUPPORTIVE OF THE
EFFORTS TO PROVIDE STUDENTS WITH
GREATER ACCESS TO RESOURCES THAT
PROMOTE BETTER MENTAL HEALTH AND
WE URGE YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS
MEASURE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU OTHERS IN SUPPORT.

SIDE.

YOU MAY PROCEED WHEN READY THANK
YOU VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE MY NAME
IS RAY BURNELL.
AND I SERVE AS THE EDUCATION
DIRECTOR FOR CALIFORNIA CATHOLIC
CONFERENCE.
AS THE OFFICIAL PUBLIC POLICY
VOICE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH IN OUR
STATE WE ARE OPPOSED TO A. B..
SIX TWO FOUR OUR OPPOSITION TO
THIS BILL IS BECAUSE THE
MANDATED INCLUSION.
OF MULTIPLE HOTLINE NUMBERS
REGARDLESS HOW WORTHY WOULD
DIMINISH THE EFFICACY OF THE
ONLY NUMBER NOW REQUIRED ON
STOOD IDENTIFICATION CARDS.
THE NATIONAL SUICIDE PREVENTION
HOTLINE.
ADOLESCENT SUICIDE AND SELF
INFLICTED INJURY.
IS AN UNPARALLELED NATIONAL
CRISIS.
DEATH FROM SUICIDE AMONG
CHILDREN YOUNGER THAN SEVENTEEN
YEARS OLD GREW 84% THE LAST
DECADE.
AND INCREASED BY 210031% FOR
GIRLS AGE.
TEN TO FOURTEEN SUICIDEIS THE
THIRD LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH FOR
CHILDREN AGE TEN TO FOURTEEN AND
THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF
DEATH. FOR THOSE AGE.
FIFTEEN TO TWENTY FOUR NEARLY
ONE IN.
FIVE CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS SERIOUSLY CONSIDER
ATTEMPTING SUICIDE. 9% HAVE
ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ONE OR MORE
TIMES.
EVERY LIES IS PRECIOUS AND MUST
BE PROTECTED ESPECIALLY WHEN
MOST WEAK AND VULNERABLE.
REQUIRING ONLY THE NATIONAL
SUICIDE PREVENTION HOTLINE ON
ID'S HELP PREVENT IMMINENT DEATH
AMONG OUR YOUTH WHO ARE AT RISK
OF KILLING THEMSELVES.
THAT'S WHY THE SINGLE NUMBER WAS
REQUIRED ON STUDENTS ID'S WITH
UNANIMOUS APPROVAL OF THE
CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE AND WITH
UNIVERSAL SUPPORT AMONG OUR
STATE'S PUBLIC AND PRIVATE
SCHOOL COMMUNITIES.
THIS NUMBER GIVE STUDENTS
CONTEMPLATING SUICIDE.
IN OTHER STUDENTS WHO KNOW
CLASSMATES THEY MAY BE DOING SO.
I DEDICATED RESOURCE TO
IMMEDIATELY ACCESS VITAL
SUPPORTS NECESSARY TO CHAIR
CHALLENGE AND CHERISH THEIR LIFE.
WE SHOULD NOT TO DISTRACT FROM
THIS RESOURCE AS AB SIX TWO FOUR
WOULD DO AND WE ASK FOR YOUR
NOVO SO CAN I ASK YOU WHAT ARE
YOU ASKING FOR WHAT WHAT DO YOU
WANT NOT ONE THIS BILL I'M
CONFUSED.
WERE OPPOSED TO THE BILL.
I KNOW THAT BUT WHAT WHAT.
WHAT WHAT DO YOU OPPOSED TO IN
THE BILL THE ADDITION OF ANY
NUMBERS IN ADDITION TO THE
NATIONAL SUICIDE HOTLINE OKAY SO
YOU DON'T WANT THE SEXUAL
ASSAULT HOTLINE ADDED?
AT A LOCAL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
HOTLINE AT IT CORRECT CORRECT
OKAY UNDERSTOOD SORRY I WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT YES THAT IS
CORRECT.
OKAY THANK YOUR NEXT WITNESS.
MY NAME IS MATT SHARP I'M AN
ATTORNEY WITH ALLIANCE DEFENDING
FREEDOM OVER FORTY YEARS AGO THE
SUPREME COURT RULED STRUCK DOWN
A NEW HAMPSHIRE LAW THAT
REQUIRED IT CITIZENS TO HAVE
PLAYED DISPLAY THE STATE MOTTO
ON LICENSE PLATE.
HOLDING THAT AN INDIVIDUAL HAS A
FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHT NOT TO BE
A CAREER OF THE STATE'S MESSAGE
AND JUST LAST YEAR THE SUPREME
COURT STRUCK DOWN A CALIFORNIA
LAW THAT REQUIRED PRO LIFE
PREGNANCY CENTERS. TO POST
CONTACT INFORMATION FOR ABORTION
REFERRALS.
SB SIX TWENTY FOUR SUFFERS THE
SAME CONSTITUTIONAL FLAWS
BECAUSE IT COMPELS RELIGIOUS
SCHOOLS STUDENTS AND STAFF TO
USE ID BADGES THE COMMUNICATE
MESSAGES THEY MAY FIND
OBJECTIONABLE.
UNDER THE BILL A PRIVATE COLLEGE
THAT ENDORSES A PRODI UP PRO
LIFE IDEOLOGY WOULD BE REQUIRED
TO DESIGN PRINT AND DISTRIBUTE
STUDENT ID CARDS.
INCLUDE THE TELEPHONE NUMBER FOR
SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH
HOTLINE.
USING THREAT OF LOSING STATE
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID THE
PRIVATE INSTITUTION MUST
SURRENDER ITS VOICE IN ORDER TO
PROMOTE THE STATE'S PREFERRED
IDEOLOGY.
GET THE HARMS OF AB SIX TWENTY
FOUR ARE NOT LIMITED TO PRIVATE
INSTITUTIONS STUDENTS AT BOTH
PRIVATE AND PUBLIC SCHOOLS ARE
LIKE LAST FORCED TO BECOME
CARRIERS OF THE STATE'S IDEOLOGY.
ON ISSUES OF SEXUAL AND
REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH.
STUDENTS PUBLICLY USER ID'S TO
CHECK IN AT SCHOOL PURCHASE
LUNCHES AND GAIN ACCESS TO
SCHOOL EVENTS SOME SCHOOLS EVEN
REQUIRE STUDENTS TO WEAR THEIR
ID'S AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION.
BUT UNDER AB SIX TWENTY FOUR A
TEENAGE GIRL WHO STARTS A PRO
LIFE CLUB AT OUR SCHOOL WOULD BE
REQUIRED TO DALY KERRY USE AND
EVEN WHERE A TELEPHONE NUMBER
FOR PLANNED PARENTHOOD.
AND THIS COMPELLED SPEECH
REQUIREMENT CUTS BOTH WAYS I
SOME PRO CHOICE STUDENTS MAY
OBJECTIVE THEIR SCHOOL CHOSE TO
USE A LOCAL PRO LIFE PREGNANCY
CENTER IS THE HOTLINE.
I'M TO PUBLISH ON STUDENT ID'S
THIS LAW WILL INEVITABLY LEAD TO
COSTLY LITIGATION AGAINST SCHOOL
DISTRICTS THAT THEY WILL ALMOST
INEVITABLY LOSE.
REQUIRING STUDENTS TO BE
MESSENGERS ON BEHALF OF THE
GOVERNMENT IDEOLOGY OPENS A
PANDORA'S BOX BECAUSE ANY
MESSAGE FORCED ON STUDENTS BY
THE GOVERNMENT IS GOING TO BE
CONTROVERSIAL TO SOME.
IF THE STATE WANTS TO PROMOTE A
HOTLINE IT HAS A NUMERAL WAYS TO
DO SO BILLBOARDS AD CAMPAIGNS
FLYERS BUT WHAT IT CANNOT DO IS
FORCE PRIVATE PARTIES TO SPEAK
ITS MESSAGE ON ITS BEHALF THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU VERY WELL DONE AND
WITHIN TWO MINUTES -- WITH THAT
OTHERS IN OPPOSITION YES PHILLIP
ASKING ME WILLIAM JOSEPH
UNIVERSITY WHAT ARE OPPOSE THANK
YOU.
THANK YOU AS ONE OTHER THERE
THERE ARE TWO SIDES THIS BILL IS
A SEVEN TWELVE PORTION.
AND THERE'S A HIGHER EDUCATION
PORTION WHICH IS GOING TO BE
DISCUSSED IN THE HIGHER ED
COMMITTEE WE'RE NOT GOING TO
ADDRESS THAT TODAY -- WITH THAT
I'M GOING -- TO THERE'S MORE
THEIR OPPOSITION ANSWER YEAH
GREG BURKE CALIFORNIA FAMILY
COUNCIL IN OPPOSITION THANK YOU.
JONATHAN KELLERMAN BEHALF OF THE
CALIFORNIA SOUTHERN BAPTIST
CONVENTION OPPOSED.
THANK YOU -- WITH THAT --
ECONOMY THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
THIS IS COLOR RESTRICT KILEY.
GOOD EVENING MISTER GARRETT ALSO
I'M.
I I UNDERSTAND THAT THE PRIVATE
SCHOOLS. SEVEN THROUGH TWELFTH
GRADE BUT TAKEN OUT OF THE BILL
BUT THE PRIVATE COLLEGES ARE
STILL IN THERE SO IS THERE A
PLAN TO ADDRESS THAT YOU KNOW IS
THAT IS GOING BE DISCUSSING
HIGHER EDUCATION COMMITTEE SAYS
NO THIS IS NOT.
COMMITTEE FOR THAT WE'RE NOT
GOING TO DISCUSS THE HIGHER IT
PROVISIONS BECAUSE THAT'S GOING
TO BE IN THE NEXT COMMITTEE.
SO WELL WE ARE VOTING ON THE
BILL TODAY SIZE WILLIAMS YEAH MY
SUGGESTION IS THAT YOU DON'T
KNOW.
IF I HAD A MODEL LIKE JUST ASK
THANK YOU BUT AGAIN.
THIS IS THE PURVIEW OF THIS
COMMITTEE.
IS K. TWELVE WELL I'LL LEAVE IT
UP.
TO ME THAT IF I HAVE TO LISTEN
ON THE CHAIR I'M GONNA SPEAK THE
PURVIEW OF THIS COMMITTEE IS IS
K..
TWELVE THE PURVIEW OF THE HIGHER
EDUCATION THE HIGHER EDUCATION
THE HIRED COMMITTEE IS HIGHER
EDUCATION SO THAT'S WHERE
THEY'RE GOING TO ADDRESS THOSE
POLICY CONCEPTS ARE I'M SURE YOU
HAVE CONCERNS.
YOU'VE GOT EXPRESSLY AUTHOR
INDIVIDUALLY OUTSIDE OF THIS
TERM.
I DON'T WANNA GET INTO THAT
DEBATE TODAY BECAUSE WE'RE NOT
ADDRESSING THAT PORTION OF THE
BILL TODAY WORK WE'RE WE'RE
DISCUSSING THE CAGE WALL
PORTIONS.
AND HE HAS MADE SIGNIFICANT
AMENDMENTS TO THE K. TWELVE
PORTION DID YOU WANT TO ADDRESS
THAT -- I'M HAPPY TO MOVE ON I
SINCE WE BOTH ON THE HIGHER
EDUCATION AND HAPPY TO TALK
ABOUT IT THEN IN WITH YOU OFF
LINE AND I'LL DEFER TO THE CHAIR
I I LISTEN.
I JUST WE'RE NOT GOING TO AMEND
ANY PART OF BILL THAT SPEAKS TO
HIGHER EDUCATION PROVISIONS
BECAUSE THAT IS THE PURVIEW OF
THE HIGHER EDUCATION COMMITTEE.
SO THERE'S NO NEED TO DISCUSS
THEM HERE TODAY.
AGREED THANK YOU.
I AM I HAVE A COUPLE MORE
QUESTIONS -- SO THERE'S THAT
CASES MENTIONING WAS MUCH OF THE
TESTIMONY IN ITS AND SOME OF THE
MATERIALS I RELATED TO THIS BILL
I NATIONAL TO THE FAMILY AND
LIFE ADVOCATES -- VIVA SERRA
HIGH SUPREME COURT DECISION
STRUCK DOWN -- PREVIOUS
CALIFORNIA STATUTE AT THE
REQUIRED AT PRIVATE CRISIS
PREGNANCY CENTERS TO POST
NOTICES REGARDING WHERE TO
OBTAIN -- ACCESS TO ABORTION --
STRUCK DOWN ON FIRST AMENDMENT
GROUNDS COURSE ABOUT COMPELLING
INDIVIDUALS TO SPEAK A
PARTICULAR MESSAGE SAYS NOTICES
ALTER THE CONTENT OF THEIR
SPEECHES COMPELLED SPEECH SO.
I HOW WOULD YOU DO WITH THIS
THIS PARTICULAR BILL IS IS
CONSTITUTIONAL UNDER THAT
DECISION OR HOW WOULD YOU
DISTINGUISH IT.
YEAH I'M SO I THINK IT -- IF
FALL SQUARELY OUTSIDE OF THE NEW
FLU DECISION -- SO THERE'S A
COUPLE THINGS GOING ON HERE THAT
ARE FOR TO KNOW FIRST OF ALL
THERE'S NO COMPELLED SPEECH
ISSUE HERE BECAUSE THERE'S NO
REQUIREMENT IN CALIFORNIA ISSUE
ID CARDS.
SO THAT ALONE OBVIATES THE ISSUE
THE SECOND PART OF THIS IS WE
ACTUALLY HAD A CONVERSATION WITH
A NUMBER OF DISTINGUISHED
CONSTITUTIONAL LAW EXPERTS
INCLUDING LIKE ELEVEN WHO IS A
CLARK -- TO FORMER JUSTICE
ANTHONY KENNEDY IS NOW A
PROFESSOR AT UC IRVINE ALSO THE
DEAN OF UC BERKELEY LOST HER OWN
INSURANCE KEEP BOTH OF THEM ALL
BEHIND ON THE CONSTITUTIONALITY
THE BILL THEY THINK THAT THERE'S
VERY VERY CLEAR DISTINCTIONS
BETWEEN.
WHAT WAS GOING ON AND NAY FLOCK
IN HERE WERE SIMPLY ASKING FOR
NUMBER TO BE PRINTED ON THE BACK
OF THE ID CARD SO WE ARE VERY
VERY CONFIDENT OF THIS BILL'S
CONSTITUTIONALITY?
OKAY SO I I GUESS.
THE WAY I MIGHT TAKE SOME ISSUE
WITH THAT IS IF THE SCHOOL IS
REQUIRED THE STUDENTS WHERE THE
IDEA.
AND THERE'S SPEECH ON THE ID
THAT IS RUNS AGAINST A CORE
BELIEF OF THE STUDENTS DO YOU
THINK THAT RAISES FIRST I'M
CONCERNS.
NO I MEAN WE WE REQUIRE YOUNG
PEOPLE TO DO THINGS ALL THE TIME
RIGHT AND THERE'S COMPETE WE SEE
WE SEE EXAMPLES OF CONSULT
COMPELLED SPEECH ALL THE TIME IN
YOUR LICENSE PLATE IS COME
COMPELLED SPEECH THE THE LABELS
ON A WINE BOTTLE OR BE --
BORROWER COMPELLED SPEECH SO
THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF
EXAMPLES OF COMPELLED SPEECH
THAT'S CONSTITUTIONALLY
PERMISSIBLE IT'S NOT THAT ANY
COMPELLED SPEECH IS
IMPERMISSIBLE IT'S JUST DOESN'T
FALL WHICH SIDE OF THE WIND AS A
PHONE I THINK PUTTING A PHONE
NUMBER.
WHICH A PHONE NUMBER ALONE ON
THE BACK OF ID CARD CLEARLY
FALLS ON THE CONSTITUTIONAL
CITED ONLINE.
GOT IT SO IT WAS SO WHAT IS THE
TYPE OF COMPELLED SPEECH I GUESS
I DIDN'T HEAR HOW YOU
DISTINGUISHED THE THE THE
PREVIOUS STATUTE ON THAT BASIS.
I'M I'M SORRY I DON'T FULLY FALL
SO ON THE BASIS OF THE TYPE OF
SPEECH ISSUE IT SEEMS LIKE IT'S
A PRETTY SIMILAR TYPE OF SPEECH
ISSUE HERE.
AS WITH -- WHAT WAS CALLED THE
FACT ACT NO I MEAN THERE I MEAN
THE THE FAX IN THOSE CASES COULD
NOT BE MORE DIFFERENT ENCOURAGE
YOU TO GO BACK AND READ THE
NESTLE DECISION TO GET A LITTLE
BIT OF A FLAVOR OF THAT?
HERE THIS IS SIMPLY REQUIRING
SIMPLE FACTUAL INFORMATION IT'S
NOT REQUIRING A IN IN THE FACT
ACT AS I AS I RECALL THE THE
COMPELLED SPEECH ISSUE REQUIRED
SOMEBODY TO ACTUALLY COMMUNICATE
A MESSAGE.
HERE IS SIMPLEA FACTUAL PIECE
OF INFORMATION I ONE EIGHT
HUNDRED NUMBER THERE'S NO
IDEOLOGY THERE IT'S A SIMPLE
FACTUAL PIECE OF INFORMATION SO
IT'S VERY VERY DIFFERENT THAN
THE FACTS AND CIRCUMSTANCES OF
NETWORK.
OKAY I WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS
CONCERN THAT WAS OUT ALSO RAISED
A ONE OF THE WITNESSES -- THAT
WE'RE GONNA BE OF LIMITING THE
EFFICACY OF THE IS THE SUICIDE
PREVENTION HOTLINE THIS IS A
BILL FROM CENTER PORTANTINO LAST
YEAR -- YOU HEARD SOME
STATISTICS I MEAN IT'S AN ISSUE
I'VE BEEN WORKING ON QUITE A BIT
WE'VE HAD THIS.
RISING YOU SUICIDES IT'S REALLY
TRAGIC I THINK THERE'S IF YOU'RE
A CLEVERNESS THAT SHOWS YOU KIND
OF HAVE A JUMBLE OF INFORMATION
IT.
EVEN IF SOME OF IT'S GOOD
INFORMATION HERE AT AND YOU KNOW
YOU IF YOU REDUCE THE SALIENCE
OF OF THE INFORMATION THAT'S
THERE SO HOW DO YOU RESPOND.
YEAH AND I AND I JUST WANT TO
THANK -- THE OPPOSITION WE HAD A
VERY VERY -- RESPECTFUL AND AN
APPROPRIATE CONVERSATION -- I DO
AND I APPRECIATE THEM COMING
INTO RAISING CONCERNS IN THE
MANNER THAT THEY DID I THINK WE
I JUST RESPECTFULLY DISAGREE ON
THIS POINT WE'RE CONFIDENT THAT.
WITH FOUR NUMBERS YOUNG PEOPLE
CAN FIND THE NUMBER THAT THEY
NEED I DON'T THINK THAT THAT'S
OVER AGAIN OVERWHELMED OR
CONFUSED ANYBODY.
AND YOU KNOW WE WE HAD A
CONVERSATION PERHAPS WOULD BE
APPROPRIATE TO PUT THAT ITEM AND
READ OR BOLD IT OR DO SOMETHING
ELSE TO TO CALL OUT THE THE
SUICIDE LIFELINE BUT WE WE HAVE
A LOT OF CONFIDENCE IN YOUNG
PEOPLE IN THEIR ABILITY TO FIND
THE LINE.
THAT THEY NEED [inaudible]
THANK YOU.
ARE YOU DOING THIS.
ALL RIGHT QUESTION.
WHAT REMAINS NOW I I'M LOOKING
AT THE AMENDMENTS AND SO MUCH
HAS BEEN TAKEN OUT SO WHAT IS
THE?

THEY SHOULD YOUR ADVOCATING FOR
THANK YOU DOCTOR SO WHAT WE TOOK
OUT WISE -- THE APPLICATION OF
THE BILL TWO K. THROUGH TWELVE
RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS I'M SORRY
SEVEN THROUGH TWELVE RELIGIOUS
SCHOOLS ALSO EVER IT APPLY STILL --
TO SEVEN THROUGH TWELVE PUBLIC
AND THEN HIGHER ED BOTH PRIVATE
AND PUBLIC.
BUT IT ALSO SAYS YOU'RE REMOVING
THE AUTHORIZATION FOR THE
DOMESTIC HOTLINE.
AND THE SEXUAL ASSAULT LINE.
CHAU WHAT WHAT WHAT WE HAD IN
THE BILL WE WANTED TO GIVE
FLEXIBILITY -- IF FOLKS WOULD
RATHER IS THAT TO SAY THAN HAVE
THE NATIONAL HOTLINE YOU WANTED
TO PRINT A LOCAL HOTLINE.
WE'VE REMOVED THAT FOUR SEVEN
THROUGH TWELVE BUT IT WOULD GIVE
FOR EXAMPLE IF SAN DIEGO STATE
WANTED TO HAVE A A CAMPUS --
SEXUAL ASSAULT HOTLINE RATHER
THAN THE NATIONAL LINE WOULD
STILL GIVE SAN DIEGO STATE THE
ABILITY TO DO THAT SO WE
PRESERVE THAT FLEXIBILITY AT THE
HIGHER EDUCATION LEVEL BUT FOR
PUBLIC SCHOOLS JUST TO MAKE IT
EASIER -- SEVEN THROUGH TWELVE
THAT THEY'LL HAVE THE NATIONAL
HOTLINE OKAY SO THE HAVE THE
NATIONAL RATHER THAN THE LOCAL
SO THAT WAS THE ONLY CHANGE YES
OKAY.
RIGHT.
THANK YOU SEE NO FURTHER COMMENT
BILL HAS BEEN MOVED AND SECONDED --

I THE THESE ARE THESE ARE
IMPORTANT PROVISION OF AND ADD
TO THE STEW NINETIES I'M VERY
SUPPORT OF THEM BUT I JUST HOPE
THAT NEXT YEAR WE DON'T HAVE TEN
MORE THESE BILLS.
SO THAT OTHER NUMBERS BECOME
ALMOST IMMATERIAL NOT EVEN
REVERSIBLE OF STUDENT ID WHICH

NEXT YEAR TO HELP ME PUSH BACK.
WHEN I GET TEN BILLS AT ONCE

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS I
AM PLEASED TODAY TO PRESENT AB
SIX SIX SIX A BILL THAT REQUIRES
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION TO DEVELOP A MODEL
REFERRAL PROTOCOLS. TO ADDRESS
STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH CONCERNS I
WILL BE TAKING THE COMMITTEES
AMENDMENTS THE COMMITTEE IS NO
DOUBT AWARE OF THE STUDENT
MENTAL HEALTH CRISIS WE FACE IN
CALIFORNIA.
TEACHERS ARE OFTEN THE FIRST TO
NOTICE CHANGES IN STUDENT
BEHAVIOR THAT CAN SIGNAL MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES GET EDUCATORS
REPORT A LACK OF PREPAREDNESS IN
ADDRESSING MENTAL HEALTH
CHALLENGES.
THIS BILL ADDRESSES THE ISSUE BY
REQUIRING THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION TO CONSULT WITH MENTAL
HEALTH AND EDUCATION EXPERTS TO
DESIGN A MENTAL HEALTH REFER A
PROTOCOL FOR VOLUNTARY USE BY
SCHOOLS TO ENSURE THAT STUDENT
PLEASE WILL HAVE THE RESOURCES
AND TRAINING. TO BETTER ADDRESS
DID MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS WITH ME
TODAY TO TESTIFIED AS AN EXPERT
ON THE ISSUE SHERRY COBURN
PRESIDENT OF THE CALIFORNIA
SCHOOL NURSES ASSOCIATION THANK
YOU AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE.
GOOD AFTERNOON -- AS YOU KNOW
ONE IN FIVE STUDENTS -- SUFFER
FROM MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES --
SCHOOL NURSES SPEND OVER 30% OF
THEIR TIME PROVIDING MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES AS A PRIMARY
HEALTH CARE PROFESSIONAL IN
SCHOOLS WE'RE OFTEN FIRST TO
ASSESS.
AND IDENTIFY SIGNS AND SYMPTOMS
OF MENTAL HEALTH OR BEHAVIORAL
HEALTH ISSUES.
THESE ISSUES WHICH AFFECT
STUDENT ACHIEVEMENT ATTENDANCE
AND SUCCESS IN SCHOOL THE
DEVELOPMENT OF A PROCESS IS
NECESSARY FOR IDENTIFYING
PROBLEMS BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY
HAVING A REFERRAL PROTOCOL. FOR
STAFF WILL LIKELY INCREASE THE
NUMBER OF STUDENTS THAT RECEIVE
SERVICES TO ADDRESS MENTAL
HEALTH CONCERNS.
THIS IS ALSO NECESSARY FOR THE
ORDERING REFERRAL AND
PRESCRIPTION PROCESS FOR THE
ELLIE MEDI CAL BILLING OPTION
PROGRAM -- TO READ BRING DOWN
FEDERAL DOLLARS FOR STUDENT
SERVICES WE ARE SO IN SUPPORT
BECAUSE AS PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES
WE UNDERSTAND HOW BEHAVIORAL
ISSUES.
CAN IMPACT A STUDENT SUCCESS IN
SCHOOL A PREVENTION AND EARLY
EVEN INTERVENTION PROCESS WILL
SIS SCHOOL STAFF IN ADDRESSING
SOME OF THE ISSUES AND IN FACT
MY OWN SON WAS SUICIDAL.
IN SCHOOL AND IN BECAUSE HE WAS
REFERRED TO A NURSE WHO KNEW
WHAT TO DO HE WAS ABLE TO GET
HELP SO THIS PERSONALLY TOUCHES.

TO BE A JOINT AUTHOR ON THIS SAW
SOME BILLS ARE PERSONAL PEOPLE
THIS ONE'S PROFESSIONAL TO ME.
THIS IS ACTUALLY A BILL I RAN A
COUPLE YEARS AGO NOT ON BEHALF
OF ANY ADVOCACY GROUP BUT MY OWN
EXPERIENCE IN THE CLASSROOM
WHERE AND I SAW THAT THERE
WEREN'T PROTOCOLS WHEN YOU WERE
NOTICING A STUDENT THAT MIGHT
HAVE SOME CHALLENGES.
CERTAINLY THAT WE DON'T WANT TO
TEACHER DIAGNOSING OR TREATING.
BUT WE NEED A PATH FOR STUDENTS
TO FIND RESOURCES AND I YOU KNOW
I'M NOT CONFIDENT.
THAT THAT EXISTS ON EVERY SCHOOL
SITE ACROSS THE STATE OF
CALIFORNIA MEANS HOW DO WE GET
THE STUDENT WE THINK MIGHT HAVE
SOME CHALLENGES TO A PLACE WHERE
THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING
ON AND HOPEFULLY ADDRESS SOME.
JUST HANDING THEM OFF TO A
COUNSELOR ISN'T ENOUGH THERE
NEEDS TO BE SOME PROTOCOLS
ESTABLISHED PROTOCOLS THAT'S
WHAT THIS BILL WILL DO SO I'M.
I'M VERY POSITIVE ON THIS BILL
THANK YOU WITH THAT ANY.

THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR GOOD
EVENING YOUR NUMBERS I WANNA
START OFF BY THANKING THE
COMMITTEE STAFF FOR ALL THE HELP
ON THIS BILL MAKES UP ALL THE
COMMITTEES AMENDMENTS.
AB SEVEN FIFTY REQUIRE ALL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHARTER
SCHOOLS HAVE AT LEAST ONE SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER THE PRESENT ON
EACH CAMPUS DEAR RIVER SCHOOL
HOURS AND WHATEVER PRINCIPLES
AND PEOPLES ARE PRESENT ON
CAMPUS.
THIS BILL ALSO SPECIFIES THAT
FUNDING FOR THESE OFFICERS NOW
COME FROM LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING
FORMULA BILL CFF RATHER BEFORE
THERE'S A STATE MANDATE AND
THEREFORE IT IS NOT TAKING AWAY
ANY EXISTING SCHOOL FUNDING.
SCHOOL SHOOTINGS NATION WIDE A
HEARTBREAKING WE NEED TO BE
PROACTIVE IN OUR APPROACH TO
PROTECTING OUR STUDENTS.
CALIFORNIA USE ALL TOOLS AT ITS
DISPOSAL PREVENT SCHOOL BASED
TRAGEDIES HAVING A SCHOOL
RESOURCE OFFICER ON EACH CAMPUS
WILL NOT FIX ALL SCHOOL SAFETY
RELATED ISSUES BUT IT IS A START.
THIS WILL SHOW THEIR STUDENTS AT
THE STATE CARES ABOUT THEIR
SAFETY WHILE BEING.
ON LIKE TO THANK THE COMMITTEE
CHAIRED STAFFER DRAFTING
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS EXPLAINED
THAT THE INTENT OF THE BILL IS
RELY STUDENTS WITH PHYSICAL
EMOTIONAL SECURITY.
THIS ALSO ENCOURAGES SCHOOLS
LOOK AT ALL STAFFING NEEDS IN A
COMPREHENSIVE MANNER.
COULD YOU MENTAL HEALTH
PROFESSIONALS IS STUDENT SUPPORT
SERVICES.
UP WITH THAT -- WILL ALREADY
OTHERS IN SUPPORT [inaudible]
ANY OPPOSITION.
GOOD EVENING MISTER CHAIR
NUMBERS.
THE SHARP FOR THE ACLU OF
CALIFORNIA.
IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL CHILDREN
SHOULD BE ABLE TO FOCUS ON
LEARNING WITHOUT WORRYING ABOUT
THEIR PERSONAL SAFETY AND
PARENTS SHOULD FEEL THAT SCHOOLS
PLACE WHERE THEIR CHILDREN WILL
BE PROTECTED FROM HARM.
THE MISSION OF EDUCATING OUR
CHILDREN HAS TO START WITH
PROVIDING A SAFE PLACE TO LEARN.
THAT SAID WE DISAGREE AS TO HOW
TO MAKE SURE OUR SCHOOLS ARE
SAFE.
THE ACLU RECENTLY ISSUED A
NATIONAL REPORT TITLED COPS AND
NO COUNSELORS HOW THE LACK OF
SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH STAFF IS
HARMING STUDENTS.
THAT REPORT CALLS ATTENTION TO
THE LACK OF ADEQUATE NUMBERS OF
SCHOOL COUNSELORS AND OTHER
MENTAL HEALTH SUPPORT STAFF WHO
ARE A KEY PART OF IMPROVING
SCHOOL CLIMATE AND MAKING
SCHOOLS SAFER.
THE DATA USED FOR THAT REPORT
SHOW THAT OVER THREE HUNDRED AND
NINETY THOUSAND STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA ARE IN SCHOOLS WHERE
THERE IS A FULL TIME LAW
ENFORCEMENT OFFICER.
AT THE SCHOOL BUT NO COUNSELOR.
FOR MANY STUDENTS WITH THE
PRESENCE OF A OF SCHOOL RESOURCE
OFFICER CAN MAKE SCHOOL FEEL
MORE LIKE A DETENTION CENTER
THAN A SCHOOL A PLACE WHERE THEY
ARE SEEN AS SUSPECTS.
WE'VE ALL SEEN THE VIDEOS OF
STUDENTS PUSHED OR THROWN TO THE
GROUND BY THE OFFICERS AND THEIR
SCHOOL SOMETIMES FOR OFFENSES AS
MINOR AS PUT FAILING TO PUT A
CELL PHONE AWAY.
WE NEED TO BE LOOKING FOR WAYS
TO REDUCE THE PRESENCE OF POLICE
IN OUR SCHOOLS NOT TO INCREASE
AT WE KNOW HOW TO KEEP SCHOOL
SAFE.
WE NEED TO MAKE OUR SCHOOLS AND
A WELCOMING INCLUSIVE PLACES
THAT SUPPORT THE SOCIAL AND
EMOTIONAL HEALTH OF THE STUDENTS
AND THAT HAVE RESOURCES THEY
NEED TO BUILD COMMUNITY AND
ADDRESS CONFLICT WITH NON
PUNITIVE METHODS.
LET'S FOCUS ON PROVIDING SCHOOLS
WITH THOSE RESOURCES RATHER THAN
INVESTING IN EXPENSIVE MEASURES
THAT WILL JUST MAKE THINGS WORSE
THANK YOU ASKED FOR YOUR NOVEL.
GOOD EVENING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS STANDARD FOR ON BEHALF
OF THE CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION WE HAVE
CONCERNS THAT AB SEVEN FIFTY
COULD LEAD TO CONTRACTING OUT OF
CLASSIFIED POSITIONS.
I'M MORE STILL REVIEWING THOSE
OF THE AUTHORS OFFICE DID SHARE
THAT THEY WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT DISTRICTS HAVE FLEXIBILITY --
TO CONTRACT WITH OUTSIDE
AGENCIES I'M HOWEVER EDUCATION
CODE DOES ALLOW CONTRACTING OUT
OF CLASSIFIED SERVICES IN
SPECIFIC INSTANCES WHERE CERTAIN
CONDITIONS ARE MET.
AND SOME OF THOSE CONDITIONS ARE
PROJECTS TO PROTECT CLASSIFIED
JOBS AND THE PUBLIC'S INTEREST.
I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOU KNOW
VOTE THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
OTHERS IN OPPOSITION.
SEEN OTHERS UP THE OPPOSITION
WILL BRING A BEHIND THE THE REAL
OF THE COMMITTEE ANY COMMENTS --
BUT MISTER KALRA.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIRMAN THANK
YOU SUMMER FOR BRING THIS
FORWARD -- I APPRECIATE YOUR
TRYING TO DO I THINK THE
INTENTION KNOWING YOU.
ARE CERTAINLY IS GENUINE --
SOMEONE THAT YOU KNOW WHAT YOU
JUST RECALL MY OWN.
UPBRINGING AND BE IN HIGH SCHOOL
AND HAVING FENCING AROUND AND
CAMPUS THAT ALONE -- HAD HAS
EMOTIONAL -- BUT THE MOST TIMES
TO USE HAVING TAUGHT IN HIGH
SCHOOLS AND FOR EXAMPLE IN DC
WHERE.
I STUDENTS AT THE WATER METAL
DETECTORS GOING TO THE SCHOOL --
YOU KNOW I JUST I THINK IT -- IT
SENDS THE WRONG MESSAGE
ESPECIALLY AS WE'RE TRYING.
TO CHANGE THIS SCHOOL TO PRISON
PIPELINE -- CULTURE THAT'S BEEN
CREATED OVER MANY DECADES
UNFORTUNATELY WE NEED MORE
COUNSELORS BUT OPERATIONAL
NURSES AND MORE TEACHERS IN THE
SCHOOLS BEFORE WE REQUIRE --
THEM TO HAVE MORE SECURITY
OFFICERS SO JUST RESPECTFULLY I
WON'T GO TO SUPPORT YOU TODAY
BUT STILL PUSHING.
THANK YOU MISTER CARTER.
YEAH I THINK YOU AYE AYE I MET
WITH YOU AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
YOUR DIALOGUE IN YOUR HISTORY
TALKING ABOUT HOW THIS IS
SOMETHING THAT YOU.
HAVE WORK WITHIN YOUR PRIOR LIFE
AND I'M HAVING A TOUGH TIME
ESPECIALLY AFTER LAST BILL.
WE TALKED ABOUT THE NEED FOR
MORE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES.
IN OUR SCHOOLS AND THEY AND THE
COUNSELOR RATIO IS IS --
DISGRACE AND YOU KNOW IT'S
GETTING WORSE IN SOME DISTRICTS
THEY'RE ACTUALLY LAYING OFF
COUNSELORS IN THESE
PROFESSIONALS AND YOU KNOW I SAW
A BUNCH OF YOUNG PEOPLE HERE AT
THE CAPITOL FEW WEEKS AGO THE
SIGNS AND THEY SAID WHAT THEY
WANTED MORE COUNSELORS NOT
SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICERS AND SO.
I THINK IT'S HARD WITH A
STRAIGHT FACE AND TALK TO THEM
AND SUPPORT THEM.
AT THE SAME TIME.
FOCUS ON THIS BUT I WILL NOTE
THAT -- YOU KNOW ONE OF THE
BEAUTIES OF LCF AFTER FRANKLY
NOT ENOUGH MONEY AS WE KNOW
WE'RE STILL FORTY FIRST NATION
FUNDING OUR SCHOOLS WAS THAT.
IT'S UP TO LOCAL COMMUNITIES IF
THEY THINK THIS IS A PRIORITY.
THEY CERTAINLY CAN CAN STEP UP
AND FOCUS THEIR THEIR RESOURCES
HERE -- I DO APPRECIATE YOUR
EFFORT TO TAKE IT OUT OF THAT
MOVIE TO MANDATE BUT IT'S IT ONE
MORE DOLLAR GOING TO PAY A STATE
MANDATE WHETHER I'LL SET UP OR
NOT HE'S IS A DOLLAR THAT WE
WON'T HAVE. TO TO POTENTIALLY
OVER APPROPRIATE NINETY EIGHT I
MEAN MY COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE WE
ARE TALKING ABOUT HEALTH NINETY
IT SHOULDN'T BE.
SHOULDN'T BE -- YOU KNOW.
THE END ALL THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS
ON OVER A PER PER OVER
APPROPRIATING SO.
IT DOES PUT PRESSURE ON US IN
HERE IS THAT -- I DON'T THINK
OUR PURPOSE SO -- I WILL BE ABLE
TO SUPPORT IT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU.
FOR IT LET ME SEE IF I'M IF I'M
CLEAR ON THIS THIS BEGAN
ORIGINALLY AS A MANDATE.
EVERYBODY HAD TO HAVE AT LEAST.
ONE NOW IT JUST SAYS THAT IS
THAT YOU YOU CAN HAVE.
ONE OR YOU CAN DO IT BUT YOU'RE
NOT REQUIRED TO DO IT IS THAT
CORRECT. FOR ASKING THAT -- ALL
THE CHARTER SCHOOLS IN THE
PUBLIC SCHOOLS IN EVERY SCHOOL
CAMPUS HAVE AN SRO WHEN THE
AMENDMENTS THAT WE CHANGE FROM A
SIMILAR BILL AS TO THE LAST YEAR.
ARE THOSE PRESENTED BY SOMEONE
JAMES GALLAGHER WAS THE S. R. O.
COULD BE ARMED OR UNARMED IT
WOULD BE UP TO THE SCHOOL
DISTRICTS OF WHETHER OR NOT.
THEY'LL BE.
CHOOSING A DECIDING SUCH.
OKAY SO.
BASICALLY THE RECORD YOUR
ORIGINAL ONE WAS TO REQUIRE
THE AMENDMENT SAY IT INTENT TO
AN URGE SCHOOLS TO CONSIDER
OVERALL STAFFING LEVELS TO
ENSURE AB ONE IS NOT THERE
ANYMORE JUST.
THE IDEA THAT PEOPLE ARE BEING
URGED TO CONSIDER IT IS THAT
CORRECT MISTER CHAIR.
WELL WE HAVE A DID THE
AMENDMENTS.
IT IS A MANDATE. FOR AN SRO PER
SCHOOL -- SOLIS WAS IN CHARTER
SCHOOLS.
IT TO BE CLEAR IT IS A MANDATE
IT IS A MANDATE OKAY THEN AB I
THOUGHT IT'D GONE RECOMMENDATION
THEN I I WOULD MANDATE IT MOST
OF MY SCHOOLS HAVE AS SORROWS
BUT I DON'T THINK I WANT TO
MANDATE THAT THEY HAVE TO HAVE --
ONE I WOULD MIND IF YOU KNOW
THEY WANT TO CONSIDERED WHICH
THEY CAN'T AT THIS POINT BUT IT
BECOMES DIFFICULT TO MANDATE --
S. ARE ALL WHEN YOU DON'T HAVE
OTHER THINGS ON CAMPUS SO ANYWAY
BUT THANK YOU I THOUGHT IT WAS
HAD BEEN CHANGED SO THIS
LANGUAGE IS VERY.
THANK YOU -- I I I THINK YOU FOR
THE BILL I THINK THERE'S SOME
THINGS YOU NEED TO THINK ABOUT
AS FAR AS LIKE EIGHTY A WHAT IS
THE ATTENDANCE OF THE SCHOOL.
AS EVERY SCHOOL REALLY NEED THAT.
SOME OF OUR LARGER SCHOOLS LIKE
THE HIGH SCHOOL I CAME FROM HEAD.
TO OKAY BUT THEY AREN'T ALWAYS
ON CAMPUS AS WELL I THINK PEOPLE
NEED TO REALIZE -- THEY'RE OFTEN
DRIVING AROUND THE CAMPUS
BECAUSE THINGS HAPPEN AROUND THE
CAMPUS DURING THE DAY AND
CERTAINLY THE BEGINNING TODAY
AND FOR SURE AT THE END OF THE
DAY.
SO TO SAY WE DON'T NEED THESE ON
OUR CAMPUSES AT ALL IS A VERY
UNDER EDUCATED PERSPECTIVE THAT
IS SOMEONE WHO HAS NOT SEEN THE
TRAGEDY.
THAT WE HAVE SEEN.
FROM MY HIGH SCHOOL MORE THAN
ONCE.
AND I'D LOVE TO THE FACT OF THE
MATTER IS THAT.
ACTIVE PRESENCE FROM PLACE RIGHT
AROUND THE SCHOOL IN PARTICULAR --
DURING THOSE THOSE THOSE THOSE
MORE VULNERABLE HOURS BEFORE AND
AFTER SCHOOL IS VERY VERY
IMPORTANT TO THE SAFETY OF OUR
STUDENTS.
AND I THINK HAVING A A AN
OFFICER ON CAMPUS HELPS A LOT TO
KNOW IN OFTENTIMES YOU KNOW THEY
AREN'T THEY THEY ARE.
I THINK PEOPLE HAVE THE VISION
THAT IS SOMEHOW WALKING AROUND
THE CLASSROOMS AND READY TO
CATCH A BUS BECAUSE THEY'RE NOT
PERFORMING ANY DISCIPLINE ON
CAMPUS UNLESS IT'S PROBABLY SOME
SERIOUS CRIME.
BUT VERY RARELY WHAT A POLICE
OFFICER EVER ENGAGES STUDENTS
WITH REGARD TO THE TO SOMETHING
THE STUDENT DID AT SCHOOL AGAIN
UNLESS IT WERE A SERIOUS CRIME
SO -- THESE OFFICERS.
TO PROVIDE SAFETY AT OUR
CAMPUSES LISTEN MY SCHOOL FIVE
THOUSAND KIDS PLUS RIGHT THAT'S
A SMALL CITY.
YEAH BUT YOU A SMALL CITY OF
FIVE THOUSAND AS MORE POLICE
OFFICERS THAT BUT DO WE NEED
MORE COUNSELORS ABSOLUTELY WE
NEED MORE COUNSELORS WILL YOU
NEED BE COPS ON CAMPUS -- GRANT
YOU THAT BUT TO SAY WE DO NOT
NEED ANY COPS ON CAMPUS IS IS A
VERY UNEDUCATED PERSPECTIVE AND
I THINK PUTS CALIFORNIA STUDENTS
YOU KNOW IN IN IN AN UNSAFE SPOT
I HAVE.
A DAUGHTER HIGH SCHOOL QUE I
WANNA.
POLICE OFFICER ON OUR CAMPUS AND
I KNOW THAT IN OUR CITY IN THE
PAST I DON'T KNOW WHAT THEY'RE
DOING TODAY WHEN I MATCH IS
STILL THE CITY ACTUALLY FUNDS
THAT POLICE OFFICER.
ON THE CAMPUS BECAUSE THEY SEE
IT AS A NET BENEFIT FOR THE FOR
THE ENTIRE CITY TO HAVE A A
PRESENCE ON CAMPUS AND ALSO.
YOU KNOW DURING A LITTLE HOURS
TO DRIVE AROUND THE SCHOOL TO
HAVE THAT PRESENCE SO WITH THAT
I'M GONNA BE SUPPORTIVE OF YOUR
BILL BUT AGAIN I THIS IS VERY
COSTLY.
I THINK YOU KNOW THAT -- AND
AGAIN I WANT MORE COUNSELORS AND
COPS BUT STILL I WANT COPS WITH
THAT -- THERE'S BEEN MOVED AND
SECONDED I BELIEVE KNOW IF.
WE HAVE A VOTE MOTION.
YOU MUST KNOW ALL SECOND.
IT'S TO PASS TO APPROPRIATIONS
PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
WHAT -- TIME SORRY DID NOT CLOSE
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR AND
COMMITTEE MEMBERS THANK YOU SO
MUCH FOR TIME I REALLY REALLY
APPRECIATE MR MCLARTY'S COMMENTS
DR WEBBER'S AND ALSO MISTER
KALRA AS IN THE ROBUST
DISCUSSION THAT WE HAD PART OF
THIS.
FROM MY BACKGROUND IS EDUCATOR
I'VE YOU SEE MY DOCTORATE FROM
USC YET I DON'T HAVE TO PAY MY
WAY AND BY THE WAY.
BUT I DID GET MY DOCTORATE FROM
U. S. C. AND ONE OF THE
DISCUSSIONS WE HAD AND THE
ACADEMIC JOURNALS THAT WE HAD.
WAS BY DOCTOR PATIENT GARCIA AND
IT TALKED ABOUT PUBLIC SAFETY AS
RELATIONS ACHIEVEMENT GAP.
AND ALTERNATIVE THE THESIS THE
IMPETUS OF THAT ACADEMIC DURABLE
WAS WHEN STUDENTS DON'T FEEL
SAFE IT REDUCES OUR ABILITY TO
LEARN.
AND I TRULY BELIEVE HAS A FORMER
RESERVE DEPUTY AS A FORMER
EDUCATOR MYSELF.
THAT THE OPPORTUNITY TO BE SAFE
IN A SCHOOL ENVIRONMENT
INCREASES THE LIKELIHOOD OF
MAKING SURE THAT ACHIEVEMENT GAP
IS SOMETHING THAT THEY CAN
SECURE.
IN ADDITION TO A LOT OF ESTARá
OWNS THEIR MORE THAN SOMEONE IS
JUST A SOURCE OF SECURITY.
THEIR SOCIAL EMOTIONAL THEY'RE
THE BIG BROTHERS AND BIG SISTERS
ON CAMPUS AND THEIR SURROGATE
MOTHER AND FATHER SO THIS REALLY
MY INTENT TO CREATE A INDICATION
ENVIRONMENT.
HOUSE WERE SCHOOL SYSTEM THAT IS
SAFE FOR ALL KIDS AND THE STATE
OF CALIFORNIA BUT I APPRECIATE --
THE CONCERNS THAT YOU HAVE I
CERTAINLY WOULD LOVE TO BE ABLE
HAVE THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH
YOU CONTINUING ON THIS BILL.
I SAY WITHOUT I RESPECTFULLY AS
WHEN I WROTE THE HEARING AT THAT
POINT THEY'RE MORE THAN JUST
POLICE OFFICERS OR ASST.
SOME TYPE OF OFFICER BECAUSE THE
FACT OF THE MATTER IS THINGS
THAT HAPPEN OUTSIDE THE SCHOOL
OFTEN COME INTO THE SCHOOL AND
THINGS THAT HAPPEN INSIDE THE
SCHOOL OFTEN GO OUTSIDE OF
SCHOOL.
ESPECIALLY IN SUMMER MORE DENSER
NEIGHBORHOODS AND THEY CAN OTHER
FINGER ON THE PULSE TO HELP
ADDRESS THEM VERY PROACTIVELY
BEFORE THEY BECOME A TRAGEDY SO
THANK YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL.
THE MOTION IS THE PAST TWO
APPROPRIATIONS WITH AMENDMENTS
TO BE TAKEN IN APPROPRIATIONS
O'DONNELL.

YOUR TIME MISTER THANK YOU THANK
YOU.
WITH THAT WE'RE GONNA MOTOR FILE
ITEM NUMBER.
SEVEN AB FOR THIRTEEN BY MISTER --
JONES SAWYER.
MISTER JONES STORY MAY PROCEED
WHEN READY.
THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS
OF AB FOUR ONE THREE CHANGES.
REFERENCES OF AT RISK TO AT
PROMISE IN THE EDUCATION AND
PENAL CODES.
AT RISK IS A STIGMATIZED LABEL
THAT IS CREATED AN EX
EXPECTATION OF FAILURE FAILURE
AND FOCUSES.
ON THE LIKELIHOOD OF USE
BECOMING ANOTHER STATISTIC THIS
IS A MINDSET THAT IS ALL TOO
PERVASIVE IN OUR SCHOOLS AND
COMMUNITIES.
AT THE STATE WE NEED TO BE MORE
INTENTIONAL WITH THE LANGUAGE WE
USE AND BE AWARE OF THE MESSAGE
THAT IT SENDS TO BOTH THE
STUDENTS AND THE PROFESSIONALS
WORKING WITH THEM.
IMAGINE OUR STUDENTS ATTENDING
AN AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM THAT IS
KNOWING THAT THEY'RE VIEWED AS
AT RISK.
RISK IS SOMETHING WE ACTUALLY
TRY TO AVOID OFTENTIMES IS
SOMETHING WE WANT NOTHING TO DO
WITH OUR WILL MINIMIZE ALL AT
ALL COSTS.
THIS LABEL SHOULD NOT BE USED TO
DESCRIBE THE POTENTIAL OF OUR
MOST VULNERABLE YOUTH.
BY CHANGING THIS LANGUAGE WE DO
TWO THINGS. ONE WE'RE SENDING A
MESSAGE TO PROFESSIONALS WORKING
WITH STUDENTS THAT WE NEED TO
INVEST IN IT IN EIGHT GIVES
EVERY CHILD POSSESSES AND TO
WE'RE TELLING THE STUDENT THAT
THEY'RE WORTH IT.
AND THAT WE BELIEVE IN THEIR
ABILITY TO SUCCEED WORDS MATTER.
IT'S TIME FOR CALIFORNIA TO
FOLLOW THE PRESIDENT WE HAVE
ALREADY SET USING PEOPLE FIRST
LANGUAGE AND THE PEOPLE WITH
DISABILITIES COMMUNITY.
AND TRANSITION TO THE STRENGTH
BASED APPROACH OF AT PROMISED
THE STUDENTS ARE MORE THAN THEIR
SITUATION AND THEY NEED TO BE
TREATED AS SUCH.
BY USING A MORE POSITIVE MINDSET
AB FOR THIRTEEN ENCOURAGES
TEACHERS TO EMPOWERS STUDENTS
AND EMPHASIZED THEIR IMMENSE
POTENTIAL TO SUCCEED RATHER THAN
FOCUS ON WHAT THEY LACK FOR
THESE REASONS I RESPECTFULLY ASK
FOR AYE BOAT WITH ME TODAY TO
PROVIDE ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY.
IS ARE ANY SOBRE FROM AS I. A.
TECH AND PAM GIVES OF THE LOS
ANGELES COUNTY.
OFFICE OF EDUCATION.
YOUR FIRST WITNESS THANK YOU
MISTER CHAIRMAN AND MEMBERS OF
THE COMMITTEE ON MANY SILVA --
ON BEHALF OF THE CO SPONSORS
SAITEK I ALSO SERVE AS THE
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR FOR THE
REACHING OUT PROMISE STUDENTS
ASSOCIATION WE PICKED THAT TITLE
BECAUSE WORDS ARE POWERFUL.
AND SHOWERING UNDER PERFORMING
STUDENTS WITH POSITIVE LANGUAGE
LIKE AT PROMISE NOT ONLY
INCREASES THE CONFIDENCE AND
PERSISTENCE.
IT ALL THE DATE ALSO SHOWS THAT
INCREASES EDUCATE ALSO
EDUCATIONAL ASSESSMENT OUTCOMES
AS WELL.
THE FOCUS ON DEFICIT LOW IS
EXPECTATIONS LOWERED
EXPECTATIONS LEAD TO FILL YOUR
DISENGAGEMENT.
HAVE PROMISED FOCUSES ON THE
POTENTIAL OF A STUDENT WE
RECOGNIZE POTENTIAL STUDENTS
HAVE HIGHER EXPECTATIONS FOR
THEMSELVES AND THEY DEMONSTRATE
STRONGER OUTCOMES AB FOR
THIRTEEN SUPPORTS CALIFORNIA'S
WORK AT ADDRESSING TRAUMA.
BUILDING MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY
RELATIONSHIPS AND RECOGNIZING
THE INHERENT VALUES OF STUDENTS
AND THEIR FAMILIES WE ASK FOR
YOUR IPHONE.
GOOD EVENING MISTER CHAIR AND
MEMBERS PAMELA GIPSON
REPRESENTING THE LOS ANGELES
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS
DR TO AVERAGE ONE OF WE'RE IN
SUPPORT OF THIS BILL BECAUSE WE
KNOW AS THE MEMBER SAID AND AS
OUR CO SPONSOR SAID WORDS MATTER.
I RECENTLY ATTENDED AN EVENT
WHERE I VOLUNTEERED TO HELPS
SUPPORT STUDENTS WHO WERE
CONSIDERED AT RISK AND I WAS
VERY DISMAYED TO SEE A POSTER.
REFERRING TO THEM AS SUCH THEY
WERE AT RISK STUDENTS AND THIS
IS WHAT THE PROGRAM IS SUPPOSED
TO DO WAS THIS SUPPOSED TO SERVE
TO SERVE THEM.
AND I FELT THIS MADE ABOUT THAT
BECAUSE IN LIGHT OF THIS BILL I
THOUGHT ONE OF THE STUDENTS
FEELING.
FROM THEIR PERSPECTIVE EVEN
THOUGH WE KNOW OF THE FOLKS WHO
ARE VOLUNTEERING AND EDUCATORS
HAVE AN INTEREST IN SEEING THE
BEST IN THE CHILDREN.
THAT WE ARE SERVING.
IT'S THE CHILDREN'S VIEW OF
THEMSELVES WHEN THEY SEE A
POSTER LIKE THAT IMAGINE IF IT
SAID SERVING AT PROMISE YOU WHEN
THEY WALK INTO THE DOOR OF SUCH
A PROGRAM.
SO IS FOR THESE REASONS THAT WE
FEEL A CHANGE IN THE LAW WOULD
BE HELPFUL BUT ALSO IT THE
CHANGE IN THE WAY WE SPEAK ABOUT
THESE USE OF WOULD BE HELPFUL TO
THEM FOR THESE REASONS WE URGE
YOUR SUPPORT.

I THINK -- IT'S TIME TO PUT --
THESE MEASURES ON THE BALLOT
TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY TWENTY TWO
AND FULL SUPPORT.
THE MEASURE THAT WE HAD THE
BALLOTS TO THE YEARS AGO IT'S
ALREADY NOT ENOUGH.
AND WE NEED TO STEP IT UP NOT
JUST FOR OF COURSE -- NEW
CLASSROOMS WITH OUR ENROLLMENT
CALIFORNIA BUT TO START AGING
FACILITIES AND TO MAKE SURE THAT.
OUR CLASSROOMS MEET THE NEEDS OF
EDUCATION IN THE TWENTY FIRST
CENTURY SO I'M ALL WITH YOU ON
THIS.
I HAVE ONE ISSUE THAT THE YOU
KNOW I'VE TALKED TO YOU ABOUT IS --
WE GO FOR HISTORICALLY THEY'VE
BEEN EITHER A K. FOURTEEN BOND.
OR SOMETIMES A CASE SIXTEEN BOND
AND I'M ASKING THAT WE PUT ONE
LITTLE LETTER AT THE BEGINNING A
P.. FOR OUT REALLY EDUCATION AND
THAT'S FOR PUBLIC EARLY
EDUCATION PROGRAMS FOR STATE
STATE FUNDED PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS
AT PUBLIC FACILITY SO.
I HAVE ANOTHER MEASURE THAT TIME
WORKING WITH AS YOU KNOW AND YOU
KNOW -- THINKING ABOUT IT'S IT'S
GOING FORWARD BETTER TO TO TO
TEAM UP WITH THIS ONE ON YOU SO
HOPE WE CAN MAKE THAT --
PARTNERSHIP AND AND WE'RE GOING.
FOR THANK YOU THANK YOU.
DR WEBER.

I'M AND YOU KNOW WHAT ALWAYS IN
FAVOR BONDS AND BECAUSE OF
FACILITIES ARE. FOR EVERY NEED
OF REPLACEMENT AND UPGRADE AND
EVERYTHING ELSE THAT COMES ALONG

LOOKING FACILITIES -- ONE OF THE
THINGS WE OFTEN TALK ABOUT WHEN
WE DOING BOND MEASURES WE DID
WITH THE OR YOU COULD JUST
CONSTRUCTION WHATEVER WE TALK
ABOUT THE ISSUE THAT IT CREATES
JOBS.
AND OPPORTUNITIES ACROSS THE
BOARD I WOULD JUST SIMPLY LIKE
TO ENCOURAGE US TO RECOGNIZE
THAT OFTENTIMES.
LIKE MANY COMMUNITIES ARE LEFT
OUT OF THAT IN PARTICULAR
AFRICAN AMERICAN COMMUNITIES ARE
NOT INCLUDED IN THE
APPRENTICESHIPS.
THE BONDS THE CONTRACTS THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS AND OFTENTIMES
NOT BENEFIT FROM THE BOND THAT
WE PUT OUT THERE.
AND SO I KNOW PROP TWO OH NINE
IS A OR WHATEVER WHATEVER BUT AT
THE SAME TIME WE CAN DO A BETTER
JOB I THINK IT OUT WHICH THANK
YOU.
ALL RIGHT THANK YOU MISTER CHAIR

THANK YOU.
THE MANAGER OF A GOOD MOVE AB
ELEVEN TWENTY SIX PLEASE DON'T.
YEP ALREADY -- I THANK YOU
MISTER KILEY FOR BEING.
AN AUTHOR ON THIS AS WELL -- I
AM PLEASED TO PRESENT AB ELEVEN
TWENTY SIX WHICH WILL FACILITATE
THE DELIVERY OF MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES TO CHILDREN AND YOUTH
BY ENSURING THAT AVAILABLE
MENTAL HEALTH FUNDS ARE USED
EFFECTIVELY.
WE KNOW THAT YOUTH AND MENTAL
HEALTH PROBLEMS ARE MORE LIKELY
WE KNOW THAT YOUTH WITH MENTAL
HEALTH PROGRAMS ARE MORE LIKELY
TO DROP OUT OF SCHOOL. TO ENGAGE
IN SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND OTHER
RISK TAKING BEHAVIOS.
RULES RECOGNIZE THE NEED FOR
MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES FOR
STUDENTS BUT GENERALLY LACK THE
LACK LACK ACCESS TO THE
NECESSARY FUNDING TO PROVIDE THE
SERVICES THE SERVICES ARE
EXPENSIVE AND THEY NEED TO BE.
CONDUCTED BY PROFESSIONALS.
THE MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES
COMMISSION OVERSEES THE MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES ACTOR MHSAA
WHICH FUNDS MENTAL HEALTH
SERVICES AT THE COUNTY LEVEL
THROUGH A 1% TAX ON PERSONAL
INCOMES ABOVE ONE MILLION
DOLLARS.
A PORTION OF THE M. HSA FUNDS
ARE TO BE USED FOR PREVENTION
AND EARLY PREVENTION FOR
CHILDREN IN YEARS.
IN MANY CASES SCHOOLS ARE UNDER
WELLER UNAWARE OF THE
AVAILABILITY OF THESE FUNDS OR
HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ACCESS THEM
TO MEET THE MENTAL HEALTH NEEDS.
OF THEIR STUDENTS.
THIS BILL WILL ESTABLISH
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTERS TO
SUPPORT COUNTIES IN ADDRESSING
KEY MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES
INCLUDING SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH.
THE BILL ALSO REQUIRES THE
COMMISSION TO DEVELOP TOOLS TO
INCREASE THE TRANSPARENCY
ACCOUNTABILITY A MENTAL HEALTH
EXPENDITURES ACROSS THE STATE.
THIS WILL ALLOW LOCAL
COMMUNITIES TO UNDERSTAND MORE
ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH SERVICES IN
THEIR COMMUNITIES AND FUNNY
AVAILABLE TO MEET LOCAL NEEDS.
FINALLY AB ELEVEN TWENTY SIX
WILL ESTABLISH AN INNOVATION AND
AGAIN CURATOR. TO PROVIDE
GUIDANCE TO INNOVATIVE COUNTY
SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS WRITING

SET UP TO BE HERE THIS EVENING --
SO THE OVER THE PAST FEW YEARS
THE COMMISSION REALLY HAS BEEN
WORKING TO PUT IN PLACE TOOLS
AND STRATEGIES TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND WHAT'S WORKING IN OUR
COUNTIES AND WHERE WE NEED TO
IMPROVE.
THE COMMISSION HAS PRIORITIZE
SCHOOL MENTAL HEALTH AS A TOPIC
THAT WE NEED TO BETTER
UNDERSTAND.
WHAT THE BILL IS DESIGNED TO DO
IS REALLY EQUIPPED THE STATE TO
BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT'S WORKING
AND WHAT'S NOT WORKING AND WHEN
THEY'RE AREAS WHERE WE NEED TO
IMPROVE TO PUT IN PLACE
STRATEGIES THAT CAN SUPPORT THE
KINDS OF PARTNERSHIPS THAT ARE
NECESSARY BETWEEN OUR COUNTIES?
AND OUR SCHOOLS AND OTHER
PARTNERS PARTNERS AND I WOULD
AND I WOULD ADD IN IN REFERENCE
TO MR MCCARTY'S COMING EARLIER
THAT WOULD INCLUDE FIRST FIVE
COMMISSIONS AND OTHER KINDS OF
PARTNERS FOR THAT KEY.
PRIOR TO THAT THE K. TWELVE OF
THE CASE SIXTEEN CONVERSATION.
IT ALSO IS DESIGNED TO SUPPORT
THE STATE'S ABILITY TO ENGAGE
THOSE PARTNERS TO THINK ABOUT
CREATIVE AND INNOVATIVE WAYS
THAT WE CAN RE THINK HOW WE
DELIVER CARE IN WAYS IT'S MORE
HUMAN CENTERED.
SO THAT WE CAN MOVE PAST THAT
THE HISTORICAL TRADITIONAL WAYS
OF OFTEN STYLING CARE BASED ON A
DIAGNOSIS ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA
AND REALLY THINK ABOUT
PREVENTION EARLY INTERVENTION
STRATEGIES THE DROP ON THE
STRENGTH OF OUR COMMUNITIES
PARTICULARLY THOSE INSTITUTIONS.
SUCH AS OUR SCHOOLS AND OUR
COUNTIES WITHOUT THE COMMISSION
IS VERY SUPPORTIVE OF THIS BILL
BECAUSE WE THINK IT SIGNALS AN
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE STATE TO
REALLY PARTNER WITH THE COUNTIES.
TO NOT JUST UNDERSTAND IS
WORKING AND WHAT'S NOT WORKING
BUT TO PUT IN PLACE THE
STRATEGIES TO STRENGTHEN OUR
MENTAL HEALTH SYSTEM WITH THAT
WE ASK YOUR SUPPORT.

IT WILL DO THIS BY INCREASING
STAKEHOLDERS ABILITY. TO
EVALUATE THE EFFICACY OF
SERVICES FUNDED BY THE MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES ACT.
BY INCORPORATING STUDENT
CENTERED METRICS A. B. ELEVEN
TWENTY SIX WILL INCREASE THE
FOCUS ON PREVENTION AND EARLY
INTERVENTION AT SCHOOLS.
WE ALSO BELIEVE THAT IT AB
ELEVEN TWENTY SIX WILL HELP TO
BREAK DOWN SILOS BETWEEN
EDUCATION AND COUNTY PROVIDERS.

TWENTY FIVE AB.
THIRTEEN OH THREE THANK YOU
MADAM CHAIR I AM PLEASED TO
PRESENT AB THIRTEEN OH THREE
WHICH INCREASES THE FUNDING FOR
CRITICAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS TWO
TO FOUR HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION
DOLLARS.
PER YEAR FOR THE ONE ONE LOCAL
MATCH.
THIS BILL ALSO CONSOLIDATES K.
TWELVE CT PROGRAMS BY SHIFTING
TO K. TWELVE PORTION OF THE
STRONG WORKFORCE PROGRAM.
FROM COMMUNITY COLLEGES BACK TO
THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION.
HIGH QUALITY CAREER TECHNOLOGY
KENSHIN'S IN OUR SCHOOLS ARE
CRITICAL TO ENSURE THAT STUDENTS
GAIN THE SKILLS THEY NEED TO
ENTER THE WORKFORCE OR MARK ON
POST SECONDARY EDUCATION AND
TRAINING.
THE STRENGTH OF THE CALIFORNIA
ECONOMY DEPENDS ON SKILLED
WORKFORCE A SKILLED WORKFORCE
AND SEAT HE PROGRAMS ARE
ESSENTIAL.
ARE ESSENTIAL PART OF BUILDING
THAT WORKFORCE AND I I WAS IN MY
CLASSROOM I CAN SAY THAT.
I'M A FIRM BELIEVER THAT
STUDENTS NEED MULTIPLE PATHS TO
SUCCESS.
WE SHOULD NOT TRACK THEM.
WE SHOULD MAKE THEM ALL YOU KNOW
RATE COLLEGE READY BUT THE SAME
TIME WE SHOULDN'T MANDATE THAT
THEY CAUGHT THEY ALL GO TO
COLLEGE.
THE TWENTY EIGHTEEN TWENTY
NINETEEN BUDGET PROVIDING
ONGOING FUNNY ONE HUNDRED FIFTY
MILLION FOR THE C. T. PROGRAMS.
AS WELL AS WATER FIFTY MILLION
FOR THE STRONG WORK FORCE
PROGRAM -- CLEARLY THERE IS A
NEED FOR ADDITIONAL FOR FUNNY ON
GOING FUNDING TO SUPPORT HIGH
QUALITY C. T. PROGRAMS ARE IS
ALSO A CLEAR NEED TO CONSOLIDATE.
THE K. TWELVE CT PROGRAMS TO
AVOID SIGNIFICAN HURDLES AND
ADMINISTRATIVE BURDENS THAT
WE'VE BEEN HEARING ABOUT.
AT BOTH THE STATE AND LOCAL
LEVELS AND HERE TO SPEAK IN
SUPPORT OF AB. THIRTEEN OH THREE
US -- WHEN SKILLS THAT -- NO --
MAYBE NOT -- LINDA GRANGER
SUPERINTENDENT OF THE EATEN R.
O. P. AND JULIE DUNCAN TRI
VALLEY R. O. P..
I WITH THAT BEFORE I TURN OVER
TO MY WITNESSES I ALSO WANT TO
THANK CHAIRMAN CARTY.
WHO IS VERY ACTIVE IN SUPPORT OF --
FUNDING C. T. AS CHAIR OF BUDGET
SUB TO THANK YOU THANK YOU BUT
WITHOUT MY WITNESSES MANAGER.
THE GRAINGER SUPERINTENDENT WITH
EATING AREA REGIONAL
OCCUPATIONAL PROGRAM AND I'D
LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT THREE THINGS
THAT I HAVE THINK OF BEEN
EFFECTIVE UNDER THE SEA TAKE
PROGRAM. ONE IS THE ALLOCATION
MODEL GIVEN THAT IT IS BASED ON
EIGHTY EIGHT IT PROVIDES FOR A
MORE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO CAREER
TECHNICAL EDUCATION THROUGHOUT
THE STATE. TO ONGOING FUNDING
WITH ANNUAL ACCOUNTABILITY
INSURERS THAT WE MAINTAIN IN
PROGRESS.
NAME PROGRESS TOWARD EVERY
PROGRAM MEETING HIGH QUALITY
STANDARD FORT CTP. THREE THE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM
REGIONAL MODEL OF DELIVERY
THROUGH THE COUNTIES LEVERAGES
STAFFING TO PROVIDE TAILOR
CONTENT TO THE FIELD BASED ON
THE NEEDS OF THE REGION.
CONTRAST THAT WITH THE STRONG
WORK FORCE MODEL ONGOING
STATEWIDE FUNDING HAS BEEN
TURNED INTO A ONE TIME REGIONAL
COMPETITIVE GRANTS AND YOU CAN
ONLY APPLY IF THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGES AGREES TO WORK WITH YOU.
YET THE ALLOCATION IS PARTIALLY
BASED ON EIGHTY A OF THE REGION
THIS CREATES AN ACCESS AND
EQUITY ISSUE.
GRANTS ARE ADMINISTERED THROUGH
THE STRONG WORK FORCE REGIONS
AND THEY WERE NOT SET UP TO HAVE
THE STRUCTURE OR KNOWLEDGE OF K.
TWELVE NEEDED TO MANAGE THIS
PROGRAM WHY CREATING ANOTHER
SYSTEM WHEN WE HAVE THE CD.
ACCOUNTABILITY IS AN ISSUE SEVEN
OF THE METRICS ARE LAGGING
INDICATORS ASSESSED ONLY AFTER
THE STUDENT ENTERS COMMUNITY
COLLEGE FOR COMPLETE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE AND THERE IS NO
ACCOUNTING FOR STUDENTS WHO
ENTER DIRECTLY INTO UNIVERSITY.
JOIN THE MILITARY OR TRADE
SCHOOL OR GO TO WORK IF WE WANT
A COORDINATED SYSTEMATIC
DELIVERY OF C. D. E. IT ONLY
MAKES SENSE FOR IT TO BE UNDER
ONE SYSTEM THROUGH THE C. T. E. --
THROUGH THIS YOU TAKE PROGRAM
UNDER THE CD THANK YOU.
MY NAME IS JULIE DUNCAN AND I AM

AS SUPER TENET GRANGER STATED ON
GOING FUNDING WITH ANNUAL
ACCOUNTABILITY ENABLES YOU TO
MAINTAIN AND IMPROVE CD PROGRAM
SYSTEMATICALLY.
THE WAY IN WHICH THE INCENTIVE
GRANT WAS DESIGNED.
THE SYSTEM PUTS IT -- PUT IN
PLACE BY THE CITY OVER THE LAST
THREE YEARS.
SPECIFICALLY WITH THE REGIONAL
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROVIDERS
AND ABLE DISTRICTS TO RECEIVE
THE TRAINING.
AND THE TOOLS TO DEVELOP
MAINTAIN AND ENHANCE THEIR C. T.
PROGRAMS.
IN ALL MY YEARS IN EDUCATION
I'VE NEVER BEEN MORE IMPRESSED
WITH THE LEVEL SUPPORT AND
CONSISTENCY AT ALL LEVELS WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION.
IN REGARDS THE INCENTIVE GRANT.
THE METRICS WERE CLEAR AND
FOCUSED ON THE ELEMENTS THAT
MAKE UP A HIGH QUALITY C. T.
PROGRAM WHICH DO INCLUDE
RELATIONSHIPS WITH THE COMMUNITY
COLLEGE.
THROUGH ARTICULATIONS DUAL
ENROLLMENT AND WITH EMPLOYERS
THROUGH INDUSTRY ADVISORY
COMMITTEES WORK BASED LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES WHICH INCLUDE
INTERNSHIPS AND CERTIFICATIONS.
AND MORE SPECIFICALLY IS ALIGNED
TO THE COLLEGE AND CAREER
INDICATOR.
I UNDERSTAND THE CHANCELLOR'S
OFFICE THE DEPARTMENT OF ED WERE
HANDED THE STRONG FORCE
LEGISLATION AND HAD TO MAKE THE
BEST WITH WHAT THEY WERE GIVEN.
HOWEVER WE HAVE A CHANCE TO
CORRECT WHAT MOST SEE IS AN
ACCESS AND EQUITY ISSUE IN PLACE
ALL THE C. T. E. DOLLARS FOR
KATE TROLL THROUGH THE CD TO THE
AND C. D. E. INCENTIVE GRANT.
