CONTRACTED PROVIDERS BASED ON
THE MAXIMUM LEVEL OF. THESE
INVESTMENTS ARE IN ADDITION TO
INVESTMENTS ALREADY MADE
THROUGH CARE SPENDING AND

PACKAGE ENACT. EARLIER THIS

ONE HUNDRED THOUSAND CHILD CARE
SLOTS. SIXTY THREE THOUSAND OF
THESE SLOTS ARE ALTERNATIVE

ABOUT THE FUNDED SLOTS- OF THE
SIX. SIXTY THOUSAND SLOTS OF

PURPLE. WE ASKED BASED ON THE
NUMBER OF SLOTS THAT AREN'T
WITH. WITH AND TWO TWENTY TWO
TO THREE. SO BIG BECAUSE OF
THIS WE DO RIGHT. ALL A- OUR
WITH. ONE WE ESTIMATE THE
ACTION WOULD COST TWO HUNDRED
AND NINETY FOUR MILLION. WITH
THE REMAINDER OF THE FUNDS THE
STATE COULD PROVIDE ADDITIONAL
VOUCHERS PLUS UNTIL JUNE
THIRTIETH TWENTY TWENTY FOUR.
WE RECOMMEND ABOUT GEORGE LOTS
INSTEAD OF GENERAL CHILD CARE

NATURE OF THE FUNDS SOURCED
THAT'S NOT YOUR FAULT YOU'RE
ABLE TO BEGIN. USING SLOTS- BUT
SHE QUICKER THAN GENERAL
CHILDCARE- DONALD TRUMP

APPROACH THE STATE WITH NEED TO
IDENTIFY UNDER THE UNDER OF THE
LA OVERCOME BIGELOW STREET
ACROSS THE STATE WOULD BE TO
IDENTIFY FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY
NINE MILLION. OF ONGOING
RESOURCE IN THE BUDGET BY

WOULD NEED TO IDENTIFY TWO
HUNDRED AND NINETY FOUR MILLION
AND ONGOING RESTRICTIONS BY
JULY TWENTY TWENTY TWO AND THEN
ANOTHER EIGHT HUNDRED AND
THIRTY TWO MILLION UP ON
FOREIGN. RESOURCES BY JULY
TWENTY TWENTY THREE- ARE.
CRIMINAL THE FLOOR IS WITH

SUBSIDIZED PROGRAM THE STATE'S
THE DEVELOPMENT APPLICATION
WARNS THAT BRITAIN. SHOULD
CHILD CARE. PROVIDERS BASED ON
OPERATING EXPENSES. SACRAMENTO
IS WITH REGARD TO THE CHOI AND
FIFTY MILLION. AND PARKER.
UNFUNDED PROPOSED IN FRESH
GRANTS WE WOULD JUST YOU KNOW
THAT ARE BUT SHALL CARE. CANNOT
BE EITHER FOR WHICH- OF A
THREE. PLAN IT IS IMPORTANT
INCLUDE MINUTE MINOR INTERFACE.
SUCH AS INSTALLING NEW AGE
FACTORS DETECTED IS THAT A
LOCAL USE OF THE R. PROVIDE. SO
GIVEN THESE RESTRICTIONS IF THE
SCOPE OF THE PROPOSAL WILL NEED
TO BE SIGNIFICANTLY MODIFIED TO
EXCLUDE. ACQUISITION
CONSTRUCTION AND THE
DEVELOPMENT. ORDER THE PROPOSAL
WOULD BE TO BE FUNDED WITH.
GENERAL FUND. THIS CONCLUDES MY
REMARKS BUT I'M HAPPY TO TAKE
QUESTIONS AT. THE APPROPRIATE
TIME OKAY THANK YOU. WE HEARD
FROM THE SOCIAL. TO DEPARTMENT
OF A- HAVE ANYTHING TO ADD. WE
DEAR GOOD MORNING MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS SERENATA MARC AND
DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT AT THE
CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION ON BEHALF OF STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION TONY THURMOND THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR HAVING ME SPEAK
WITH YOU TODAY. WE ARE VERY
HAPPY TO SEE SO MUCH IN THIS
PROPOSED MAY REVISED RELATED TO
EARLY EDUCATION WITH A HISTORIC
AND UNPRECEDENTED PROPOSED
INVESTMENT FOR T. K. EXPANSION
IN THE EARLY LEARNING CARE
SYSTEM A COUPLE. WE'LL BE
SAVING A REMARKS REGARDING THE
T. K. PROPOSAL FOR THE NEXT
PANEL. BUT WANTED TO BEGIN WITH
SHARING WHAT WE KNOW FROM
DECADES WORTH OF RESEARCH AS WE
WORK TOGETHER TO ENSURE THESE
HISTORIC INVESTMENTS LEVERAGE
THE PROMISE OF EARLY EDUCATION.
HIGH QUALITY EARLY LEARNING
EXPERIENCES CAN HAVE IMPACTS ON
THOSE SHORT TERM OUTCOMES LIKE
TEST SCORES. AS WELL AS LONG
TERM OUT KINDS INCLUDING GRADE
RETENTION REDUCTION IN SPECIAL
EDUCATION PLACEMENT HIGH SCHOOL
GRADUATION AND LATER INCOME AND
BECOMING A HOMEOWNER. THESE
HIGH QUALITY LEARNING
EXPERIENCES IN THE PRESCHOOL
YEARS ARE POSSIBLE INTO SCHOOL
BASED AND COMMUNITY BASED
SETTINGS. RECENT RESEARCH OUT
OF BOSTON AND THAT THEIR LOCAL
EDUCATION. BASED PRESCHOOL
PROGRAM BOOSTING COLLEGE
ATTENDANCE SAT TEST TAKING AND
HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATION RATES
AND ALSO DECREASED JUVENILE IN
PERSON INSPIRATION. HOWEVER
HIGH QUALITY PRESCHOOL LEARNING
EXPERIENCES REQUIRE INTENTIONAL
INVESTMENTS IN A WELL QUALIFIED
EDUCATORS DEVELOPMENTALLY
APPROPRIATE ENVIRONMENTS
THOUGHTFUL CURRICULUM
MEANINGFUL FAMILY ENGAGEMENT
AND SUPPORT FOR MULTI LINGUAL
AND STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES.
DESPITE THAT MAYBE PRICES MAJOR
INVESTMENT IN TEEKAY WE KNOW
THAT THE CALIFORNIA STATE
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM WILL CONTINUE
TO BE A BIG PART OF
CALIFORNIA'S PRESCHOOL SYSTEM.
WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
THE ADMINISTRATION AS THEY
DEVELOPED A COMPREHENSIVE PLAN
FOR THE FUTURE AT CSGP IN
ALIGNMENT WITH THE MASTER PLAN
RECOMMENDATIONS. A BIG PART OF
STABILIZING THE FUTURE AND THE
AVAILABILITY OF THIS THE FTP
PROGRAM WILL BE ADDRESSING
COMPENSATION. RATES AND THE
COST OF PROVIDING QUALITY CARE.
SAID THERE'S A LITTLE BACK
STATEMENTS WE'RE VERY HAPPY TO
SEE THE ME REVISED INCLUDE
FUNDING FOR ONE TIME STATEMENT.
WHICH WILL HELP WITH THE ONE
TIME HIGHER COSTS DUE TO COOK
AT NINETEEN. THE SUPER COLA.
WELL WE APPRECIATE RECEIVING A
CALL OF OUR PROGRAMS YOU ALSO
RECOGNIZE THAT OUR PRESCHOOL.
PROGRAMS DID NOT RECEIVE A CALL
ALLOW ASK YEAR IN LIGHT OF THE
GAP PROPOSED. HE TOLD AS WELL
AS HOW MUCH OF HER ARE
STRUGGLING WE WOULD ASK THE
LEGISLATURE TO ALSO ALLOCATE
THE SAME COLLECTED THE
CALIFORNIA STATE PRESCHOOL
PROGRAM FOR C. S. B. T.
ADVOCATE TWELFTH. RCS PP RATES
ONE CRITICAL PIECE THAT WE WILL
NEED TO ADDRESS AT THE STATE.
IS ABLE TO KEEP CURRENCIES P.
FROM GOING OUT OF BUSINESS AND
SUPPORT THE GOALS OF THE MASTER
PLAN. IS ADDRESSING THE C. S.
P. P. RATE WHICH IS FAR BEHIND
THE T. K. RATE AS WELL AS THE
AVERAGE. ARMAR A REGIONAL
MARKET RATE FOR VOUCHER BASED
CHILD CARE PROGRAMS. EVEN WITH
THE PROPOSED COLETTE THAT MAYBE
IF I SEE S. P. P. S. OUR RATE
IS ALMOST FOUR THOUSAND LESS
PER CHILD THAN THE AVERAGE RMR
FOR THE SAME EACH CHILD. IN A
CENTER SETTING THAT IS NOT
REQUIRED TO MEET THE HE THE
LEVEL OF QUALITY STANDARDS. IT
IS ALSO LESS THAN THE AVERAGE
FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME RIGHT
WHERE THERE'S NO REQUIREMENT
FOR ANY EDUCATION OR ANYTHING
BEYOND BASIC HEALTH AND SAFETY.
THE T. K. PROGRAMS ALSO
RECEIVED SIGNIFICANTLY MORE PER
CHILD PER DAY AND THE CSP KEEP
PROGRAMS. ABOUT 76% MORE
FRIENDS PER CHILD PER DAY THEN
THE PART DAY. AND 9% MORE AND A
FULL DAY. ADDITIONALLY THERE
ARE TWO OTHER AREAS WHERE
INVESTMENTS ARE NEEDED PER CDC
S. P. P. PROGRAMS. DIRECT
DEPOSIT. THEY MADE A REVISION
PROVIDES THE CDS THAT'S WITH
SIX MILLION TO SUPPORT DIRECTOR
PROCESS. FOR THE CHILD CARE
PROGRAMS UNDER THEIR PURVIEW.
AS THIS DOESN'T ADDRESS YES PP
THIS CD WOULD LIKE TO SEE
SIMILAR RESOURCES APPROPRIATED
TO ALLOW DIRECT DEPOSIT FOR
CSGP CONTRACTORS. ALTERNATIVELY
THE LEGISLATURE COULD ALLOCATE
THE RESOURCES CURRENTLY PLANNED
FOR THIS TO THE STATE
COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE. SAID THAT
A STATEWIDE SOLUTION THAT WOULD
APPLY TO BOTH DEPARTMENTS AND
ALL PROGRAMS AND EARLY LEARNING
CARE CAN BE DEVELOPED WHILE
MAINTAINING THAT. TRANSPARENCY
OF STATE ACCOUNTING DATA
THROUGH THE FISCAL ASSISTANT
INSTEAD OF MOVING OUTSIDE OF
IT. AND THEN TAKE. THE CD WILL
HAVE DATA NEEDS FOR C. S. B. P.
AND RIGHT OF CONNECTIONS TO
CRADLE TO CAREER. ON THE MASTER
PLAN GOALS AROUND P. THREE
ALIGNMENT. OVER THE NEXT YEAR
WE WILL BE DIVING INTO WHAT IS
NEEDED TO ESTABLISH UNIQUE
IDENTIFIERS AT THE CHILD
PROVIDER AND FAMILY LEVEL. TO
ENSURE THAT STATE PRESCHOOL
DATA CAN CONNECT WITH THE
CRADLE TO CAREER DATA SYSTEM.
WE BELIEVE THE NEXT STEPS FOR
CD IN THE SPACE IS TO BRING ON
PROJECT MANAGEMENT. TO NAVIGATE
THROUGH THE STATE'S PROJECT
APPROVAL LIFECYCLE HOW PROCESS.
WITH THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF TECHNOLOGY. THANK. YOU SO
MUCH THIS CONCLUDES MY REMARKS.
OKAY THANK YOU. I'LL TAKE ROLE
ROQUE. WE COULD. MCCARTY HERE

KATO EXISTENCE IS THE C. D. AND
E. S. S. PROGRAMS ALL I'LL HAVE
A FEW QUESTIONS BUT I CAN.
START WITH OTHER COMMITTEE
MEMBERS ANYBODY SOMEONE MEMBER
VITAS. THANK YOU- SO TO THE
DEPARTMENT OF WHAT. THIS IS
BEEN A DEVASTATING YEAR- FOR
CHILD CARE FOR FAMILIES- I KNOW
IN MY DISTRICT WE'VE LOST OLD
NEARLY- THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY
CHILD CARE PROVIDERS- I'M
REALLY CONCERNED ABOUT THE
INFRASTRUCTURE- AND REBUILDING-
TO THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES- ARE YOU DO YOU FEEL
LIKE YOUR DEPARTMENT IS
PREPARED DO YOU NEED ADDITIONAL
RESOURCES- ARE THERE ENOUGH
RESOURCES IN THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET- FOR YOU TO START TO.
ADD YOU HAVE ENOUGH ANALYSTS IN
YOUR COMMUNITY CHILD CARE
LICENSING- TO START TOO
APPROVAL LICENCES RAPIDLY- I DO
FEEL SUPPORTED. THANK YOU FOR
THE QUESTION ASSEMBLY MEMBER
OUR COMMUNITY CARE LICENSING
DIVISION DOES INDEED STAND
READY TO CONTINUE TO. ENSURE
THAT LICENSING IS THAT IS THE
SMOOTH AND EFFICIENT PROCESS WE
ALSO DO HAVE SOME INVESTMENTS
IN- BUT I MENTIONED IN THE
OVERVIEW WITH RESPECT TO BOTH
INFRASTRUCTURE IN TERMS OF THE
BUILDINGS THEMSELVES. BUT ALSO
WITH RESPECT TO CAPACITY
BUILDING IN THE FIELD AND WE
FEEL THAT THESE ARE CRITICAL
INVESTMENTS TO ADDRESS EXACTLY
BE CRISIS THAT YOU ARE
DESCRIBING. AND WHAT DO YOU
ANTICIPATE HOW LONG WOULD THE
PROCESS BE FOR A NEW PROVIDER-
WANTING TO. SECURE A LICENSE TO
PROVIDE CHILD CARE SLOTS AND IS
THERE DO YOU HOW MANY APPS DO
HAVE APPLICATIONS FOR- EXPECT
FOR FROM PROVIDERS TO EXPAND
THEIR SLOTS. WE DO HAVE
APPLICATIONS FROM PROVIDERS TO
EXPAND THEIR SPOTS WE DO
RECEIVE THOSE WE ALSO HAVE
RECEIVED DURING THE PANDEMIC OF
COURSE QUITE A FEW NOTICES THE
CLOSURE FROM. PROVIDERS SO ARE
KEY TO CONVINCING DIVISION
PROVIDES TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE
ON A REGULAR BASIS APPLICANTS-
WHO ARE APPLYING FOR LICENSURE
OR WHO ARE INTERESTED IN
EXPANDING THEIR LIGHTS INJURE.
THANK YOU WE DO ALSO TRACKED
CLOSELY HAVE SHARED WITH YOU
BEFORE THE CLOSURE DATA YEAH IF
WE COULD JUST IF YOU COULD HAVE
MY MAYBE WE CAN GET ON THAT A
CALL OFF LINE I JUST I'M TRYING
TO UNDERSTAND IF WE'RE ACTUALLY
SEEING GROWTH- IF I'M JUST
TRYING TO STAND UNDERSTAND
WHERE WE'RE AT. I'M SO MAYBE WE
CAN DO THAT I ADDED A LITTLE
LATER DATE- SO. IN CHILD CARE
ADVOCATES HAVE BEEN EXPRESSING
SOME CONCERNS WITH MANY OF THE
COMBAT COMPONENTS- PROPOSED
CHILD CARE EXPANSION
PARTICULARLY WITH THE LACK OF
RATE INCREASE THE DATA SHOWS
THAT THE AVERAGE ANNUAL PAY FOR
CHILD. CARE PROVIDER IS ABOUT
TO TWENTY TWO THOUSAND THREE
HUNDRED AND FORTY TWO DOLLARS
SO HOW DO THEY PROPOSE STIPENDS
IMPACT PROVIDERS COMPARED TO
RATE INCREASES- THIS MIGHT BE
APPROPRIATE FOR THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR
QUESTION. WE'RE CONTINUING TO
LOOK INTO THIS TOPIC OUR- RATE
REIMBURSEMENT AND WE LOOK. WE
LOOK TO FURTHER TO FUTURE
DISCUSSIONS ON THIS TOPIC AS OF
TWENTY EIGHTEEN WE ARE AT THE
SEVENTY FIFTH PERCENT NOW OF
THE- R. TWENTY EIGHTEEN OF THE
TWENTY SIXTEEN SURVEY HOWEVER
AS MENTIONED WE CONTINUE TO
LOOK FORWARD TO FUTURE
DISCUSSION. SO DO YOU KNOW
WHO'S GOING TO BE ELIGIBLE FOR
THIS STIPEND IS IT PROVIDERS
CURRENTLY OPEN- AND PROVIDING
CARE PROVIDERS THAT WERE OPEN
AT SOME POINT BUT NOW BE CLOSE
BUT MAY NOW BE CLOSED OR- NEW
PROVIDERS CLOSE PROVIDERS WHO'S
GONNA BE ELIGIBLE. COOPER TO MY
COLLEAGUE THAT THEIR DEPARTMENT
OF SOCIAL SERVICES. SECONDS
WILL BE PROVIDED TO ALL
LICENSED PROVIDERS. CURRENTLY
OPENED OR IF THERE. IF THEY'RE
CLOSE AND THINKING ABOUT RE
OPENING I MEAN. THE PROVIDERS
WERE OPEN AS OF JUNE. AS OF
JUNE THANK YOU. NO FOR THE OKAY
ASSEMBLY MEMBER GALLAGHER. YES
SIR I MEAN I THINK A LOT OF MY
FOCUS IS GOING TO BE ON IN
THESE BUDGET DISCUSSIONS IS WE
HEAR A LOT ABOUT THESE KIND OF
BIG NEW BUDGET PROPOSALS- YOU
KNOW TAKING CENTER STAGE BUT
WHAT'S GOING ON WITH THE
EXISTING PROGRAMMING I MEAN
THAT'S BECAUSE WE'VE HAD SOME
ISSUES WE'VE BEEN TALKING
ABOUT- YOU KNOW. FOR AS LONG AS
I'VE BEEN ON THIS COMMITTEE
ABOUT HOW DO WE IMPROVE WHAT WE
HAVE ALREADY- AND I THINK THAT
SHOULD BE A BIG BIG FOCUS HERE-
IN ADDITION PANDEMIC POLICIES
MAY ACTUALLY BE CONTRIBUTING TO
LIMITED ACCESS IN CHILD CARE
THIS IS THE SHORTAGE OF CHILD
CARE PROVIDERS WHICH PRECEDED
COVERT NINETEEN. HAS HAS ONLY
BECOME WORSE. ADD IN THIS LAST
YEAR AND LIKE EDUCATION
RESTAURANTS IN OTHER SECTORS
WHEN GOVERNMENT CONTINUES TO
PAY WITHOUT REQUIRING WORK. OR
SUBSIDIZES REDUCED WORKING
LEVELS GUESS WHAT WE HAVE. A
LABOR SHORTAGE. THE SO CALLED
HARD HOLD HARMLESS POLICIES MAY
ACTUALLY BE DOING MORE HARM.
CREATING DISINCENTIVES FOR
CHILD CARE PROVIDERS TO OFFER
AND RECIPIENTS TO ACCESS. AND
FULLY UTILIZE CHILD CARE. THE
LIMITED NUMBER OF AVAILABLE
SLOTS ARE DEEMED FULL EVEN IF
NOT BEING USED. LEAVING THOSE
WHO ACTUALLY NEED AND WOULD USE
CHILD CARE ON ON WAITING LISTS
IT'S UNCLEAR HOW ANY OF THESE
PROPOSALS IN THE MAY REVISE
WILL ACTUALLY REVERSE THIS
TREND AND ATTRACT THE THOUSANDS
OF QUALIFIED NEW PROVIDERS
NEEDED. I THINK THAT IS LIKE
FRONT ROW CENTER WHAT WE NEED
TO BE FOCUSED ON- WITH THIS. IN
PARTICULAR RIGHT HERE WITH THIS
MAY REVISED PROPOSAL SAUCEDA
THE ADMINISTRATION GIVEN THE
DECLINE IN THE NUMBER OF CHILD
CARE PROVIDERS DURING THE
PANDEMIC INCLUDING THE CLOSURE.
OF AN ESTIMATED FIFTY FIVE
HUNDRED CHILD CARE HOMES IN
NINETEEN NINETY TWO HUNDRED
CHILD CARE CENTERS. HOW DOES
THE ADMINISTRATION ANTICIPATE
IMPLEMENTING A HUNDRED THOUSAND
NEW SLOTS. IN THE NEW YEAR A
HUNDRED AND FIVE HUNDRED
THOUSAND SUBSIDIZED HEALTH CARE
SLOTS. IT WILL BE- AT IT'S AN
EXPANSION OF GENERAL CHILDCARE
ALTERNATE PAYMENT PROGRAMS AND
IT'S BEING PHASED IN IN THE
BUDGET YEAR. IT'S- IT'S AND WE-
FULLY WERE FULLY COMMITTED TO
THE HUNDRED CASE THOUGHT THAT
THE HISTORICAL INVESTMENT AND
AGAIN THEY WILL BE. A THERE
THERE NOT ALL BEGINNING JULY
FIRST THERE PHASED IN GRADUALLY.
FINE I UNDERSTAND HOW YOU GONNA
FILEM RIGHT NOW YOU HAVE SLOTS
THAT ARE ALREADY AVAILABLE THAT
WE CAN'T FILL- SO HOW YOU GONNA
FILL THESE HUNDRED THOUSAND
WHAT THE PHASE A MEN OR-
WHATEVER. YOU NEED THE WORKERS
WHERE YOU GONNA GET ON. I JUST
WANT TO ADD TO IT SO I
COLLEAGUES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE SHARED SKEWED TO
INDICATE THAT THIS IS A PART OF
WHAT WE ARE INVESTING IN WITH
RESPECT TO THE RELIEF PAYMENTS.
BAD WE DISCUSSED BOTH THE STATE
PLANS TO PROVIDERS TO ASSIST IN
STABILIZING THE FIELD AS WELL
AS THE- CHILD CARE. INITIATIVE
PROJECT TO BUILD CAPACITY- AND
WE DO ALSO HAVE QUITE A FEW WE
INVEST AND UNMET NEEDS ACROSS
THE STATE THAT WE THINK AND
THERE ARE PROVIDERS TO MEET
QUITE A FEW. OF OUR FAMILIES
ALL SUPPLY AND FAMILY FRIENDS
AND NEIGHBORS- FOR CARE
PARTICULARLY IF THEY NEED CARE
DURING WORK HOURS AND SO WE DO
EXPECT. IT WILL BE PROVIDED IN
THOSE SETTINGS AS WELL- BUT I
MEAN JUST IS STILL DOESN'T GET
TO MY QUESTION WHICH IS RIGHT
NOW YOU CAN'T FILL THESE BUT
SOME PEOPLE ARE WEIGHTLESS AND
WE'VE LOST WE HAD. A BUNCH OF
THESE CHILD CARE CENTERS CLOSE
DOWN- YOU'RE DOING A HOLD
HARMLESS POLICY WHICH PAYS THEM
WHAT REGARDLESS OF WHETHER
THEY'RE OPEN OR NOT. REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER THEY'RE HAVING THE
SAME HOURS OR NOT SO. I'M I'M
SORRY I'M JUST VERY CONFUSED
ABOUT HOW YOU'RE GOING TO
ACTUALLY INCREASE LOTS IN THIS
CURRENT LABOR SHORTAGE THAT
ARGUABLY YOU HELP CREATE. SO MR
GALLAGHER I CAN LET ME JUST
INTERJECT RIGHT HERE SO I THINK
THAT YOU'RE RAISING A POINT BUT
WE HERE HAVE TO YOU KNOW WALK
AND CHEW GUM AT THE SAME TIME.
SO THE PANDEMIC IS COMING TO AN
END WE'RE SEEING THIS ISSUE NOT
JUST IN CHILD CARE CENTERS
BUTTON. IN A PIZZA
ESTABLISHMENTS AND RETAIL AND
JOBS ACROSS THE COUNTRY WHERE
PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO FIGURE OUT
IS THAT THEIR- UNEMPLOYMENT
BENEFITS KEEPING THEM AT HOME
IS IT A COMBINATION THAT
FRANKLY THEY CAN'T GET CHILD
CARE TO. THAT'S BY THE PROBABLY
BIGGER ISSUE THEY CAN'T SEND
THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL SO IT'S
LIKE YOU KNOW WHAT. I'M IS
GONNA STAY HOME AND RIDE IT OUT
AND SO. YOU KNOW I THINK THINGS
ARE HAPPENING WITH THE RECOVERY
OF COVER NINETEEN VACCINATIONS
AND EVERYTHING AND WE'RE WE'RE
CHANGING SO. THIS BUDGET OF
COURSE. WE'RE ADOPTING A BUDGET
THAT WOULD START JULY FIRST GO
FOR THE NEXT TWELVE MONTHS.
BERASAL SETTING THE STAGE FOR
THE NEXT FIVE YEARS SO. WE'RE
TRYING TO THINK LONG TERM NOW
SO YOU'RE RIGHT. IF THE
CURRENT. TREND CONTINUED LIKE
WE ARE FOR COVER NINETEEN. IT
WOULDN'T WORK OUT WE'RE TRYING
TO FOCUS ON THE LONG TERM BUT-
I THINK THAT WE'RE TO WHERE WE
ARE TRYING TO LAY OUT- A
REALITY THAT. YOU KNOW FOR
CHILD CARE. PROGRAMS CALIFORNIA
FOR YOU KNOW YEARS EVEN DECADES
ABOUT A MASSIVE WAITING LIST.
WHICH WERE TRYING TO ADDRESS.
NOW THE GOVERNOR PROPOSES A
HUNDRED THOUSAND NEW SLOTS I
WILL NOTE THAT. THE ASSEMBLY
BUDGET BLUEPRINT WHICH WE
UNVEILED TWO WEEKS AGO.
PROPOSES THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND
SLOTS WITH THE PLAN TO GET TO
MILLION IN THE NEXT FIVE YEARS
THE SENATE. HAS A PLAN FOR TWO
HUNDRED THOUSAND SO. WE THINK
THAT THE HUNDRED THOUSAND. IS
NOT AMBITIOUS ENOUGH SO WE
pTHAT WE ADOPT OUR BUDGET. I'M
NEXT WEEK BUT- I WILL NT
LASTLY. THAT I WILL SAY THAT
BOTH THE S. AND T. K. WHICH
COMES NEXT THEY'RE NOT NEW
PROGRAMS WE'RE NOT CREATING
SOMETHING NEW AND YOU YOU
MENTIONED THAT WE SHOULD FOCUS
ON. DOING WELL WE HAVE HERE IN
CALIFORNIA. BOTH GENERAL CHILD
CARE. AND THE AND- THE-
EXPANSION HERE. THE ALTERNATE
PAYMENT PROGRAM AT EIGHT P.
WHICH ARE. THE MAJORITY 99% OF
THE SLOTS. OUR EXISTING PRODUCT
WHICH HAVE MASSIVELY LISTS SO-
SO I'VE I APPRECIATE THE MISTER
CHAIRMAN AND I AND I AGREE WITH
YOU WE HAVE A FIVE YEAR PLAN
RIGHT AND WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
THE LONG ERM. BUT WHAT I WANT
TO I WANT TO HEAR THE
ADMINISTRATION RESPOND TO THIS
BECAUSE THEY'RE THE ONES THAT
SAME WE'RE GOING TO DO THIS IN
A YEAR. THEY'RE THE ONES WHO
ARE SAYING IN THIS MAY REVISE
IN A YEAR WE'RE GOING TO
IMPLEMENT A HUNDRED SLOTS
PHASED IN. AND I WANT TO KNOW
HOW THAT'S GONNA HAPPEN.
CONSIDERING THE POLICIES THAT
THEY PUT IN PLACE. RIGHT NOW IN
THE CURRENT LABOR SHORTAGE I
WANT I WANT TO HEAR FROM THEM
YEAH. LIKE I THINK WE HAVE A
PLAN I THINK THEY JUST LIKE TO
ANNOUNCE THINGS WHAT I DID NOT
SAY HOW WE'RE GOING TO DO IT
YEAH I THINK IT'S HARD TO ME
JUST INTERJECT AGAIN BECAUSE- I
THINK YOU YOU'RE- HAVING
CONCERNS WITH THE PUBLIC HEALTH
DEPARTMENT WITH THE GOVERNOR'S
DOING ON THE- SHUT DOWN OF THE
ECONOMY AND OUR STATE AND- YOU
KNOW. THAT'S NOT THEIR DECISION
THEY RUN OUR CHILD CARE AND
EDUCATION PROGRAMS AND- YOU
KNOW THE GOVERNOR HAS MADE A
DECISION. JUNE FIFTEENTH THINGS
ARE GOING TO BE VERY VASTLY
DIFFERENT IN THEIR WORK YOU
KNOW SIX WEEKS AGO AND SIX
MONTHS AGO SO. I THINK THINGS
ARE CHANGING ANYWAY BUT I DON'T
KNOW. I THINK YOUR ISSUE. OKAY
BUT I THINK YOUR QUESTIONS TO
IN OTHER PARTS OF THE STATE
GOVERNMENT. NO IS IT TO THEM.
THAT YOU CARE FOR ORDER YEAH
JUST. KEEP WE HAVE A QUESTIONS.
PERTAINING TO THE TOPIC. AT
HAND. NOT NECESSARILY THE
OVERALL. PANDEMIC IN THE
GOVERNMENTAL RESPONSE TO IT.
NOT I MEAN NO QUESTION. BECAUSE
TO THIS WE HAVE A HOLD HARMLESS
POLICIES YEAH. THAT ARE
SPECIFIC TO THIS BUDGET ITEM.
IN CHILD CARE RIGHT AND WHAT
THAT MEANS IS WE'RE PAYING
PEOPLE REGARDLESS OF WHETHER OR
NOT THEY'RE OPEN AND REGARDLESS
OF WHETHER NOT THEY'RE HAVING
THE SAME HOURS AND- WHICH IS
LEADING TO A LABOR SHORTAGE SO
I'M ST NOW WE'RE GONNA SAY
WE'RE GONNA HAVE A HUNDRED
THOUSAND MORE SLOTS. THAT
SOUNDS GREAT I WANT TO HAVE A
HUNDRED THOUSAND MORE CHILD
CARE SLOTS BUT HOW ARE YOU
GONNA DO IT CONSIDERING. THAT
THE CLOSURES THAT WE'VE HAD AND
THE LABOR SHORTAGE THAT WE'RE
EXPERIENCING RIGHT NOW. SIX WE
HAD CITY YEARS- FINANCER SOCIAL
SERVICES TALK ABOUT THE HOLD
HARMLESS PROVISIONS WE HAD IN
THE LAST FEW COVERED PLANS AND
WHEN THOSE EXPIRE AND HOW
THOSE. HOW THOSE- CANNOT RELATE
AND- TIE INTO OUR EXPANSION
HERE. YEAH I THINK IT MAY IT
MAY BE HELPFUL JUST TO PROVIDE.
A QUICK CLARIFICATION THE HOLD
HARMLESS POLICY IS NOT ABOUT
PAYING PROVIDERS WHEN THEY ARE
CLOSE THE HOLD HARMLESS POLICY
IS ABOUT WHEN THE PROVIDER
REMAINS OPEN. AND THE CHILD
DOES NOT ATTEND DUE TO PANDEMIC
RELATED- IT TO THE ENTIRE
FAMILY SO THAT'S WHAT THE HOLD
HARMLESS POLICY IS HOWEVER
THERE ARE ALSO KEEP NOT
OPERATIONAL DAYS. THANK I'M A
LITTLE BIT MORE OF WHAT THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBERS DESCRIBING
THAT SAID THE CAPE NON
OPERATIONAL DAYS ARE LIMITED TO
SIXTEEN DAYS. SO THAT IS
SPECIFIC TO CRISES THAT MIGHT
BE HAPPENING RELATED TO THE
PANDEMIC AND IT IS A- LIMITED
NUMBER. OF DAYS SO- I JUST
WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT
CLARIFICATION BECAUSE THEY DO
ALSO THINK IT HELPS WITH THE
DISCUSSION. OKAY ALL I WANT IS
AN ANSWER LIKE HOW YOU'RE GOING
TO IMPLEMENT WHAT YOU'RE
PROPOSING THAT'S IT. I DON'T
THINK I'M ASKING SOMETHING
CRAZY HERE. I UNDERSTAND THOSE
POLICIES AND AGAIN AS I SAID
THEY'RE CONTRIBUTING TO THAT
FACT IF YOU'RE HOLDING IT OPEN
FOR A KID WHO'S NOT ATTENDING
THAT MEANS SOME OTHER KID AND
ANOTHER RECIPIENT WHO WANTS TO
BE ABLE TO USE IT UTILIZE THE
PROGRAM. CAN'T DO IT THAT'S WHY
THEY'RE ON THE WAITING LIST.
BUT AGAIN ADMINISTRATION YOU'RE
THE ONE SAYING WE'RE GOING TO
DO A HUNDRED THOUSAND YOU'RE
PROMISING BIG THINGS. AND NOW
ARE YOU GOING TO DO IT THAT'S
MY THAT'S THE QUESTION. WHAT
ARE YOU GONNA SOLVE THIS LABOR
SHORTAGE PROBLEM. WE BELIEVE
THAT THERE IS CAPACITY IN THE
FIELD FORGET TAKE UP THE SLACK
AND THAT THERE IS SUFFICIENT
NUMBER OF FAMILIES WHO NEED FOR
SLOTS AND THAT THOSE MATCHES
WILL BE MADE AND THESE ARE
CHILDREN AND FAMILIES WHO WILL
RECEIVE THE ADDITIONAL. I THINK
WHAT MY COLLEAGUE IS LOOKING
FOR IS CLARITY ON- AND- OFF ON
THE GROUND SO. WILL THE
DEPARTMENT BE CALLING FORMER
PROVIDERS TO SAY HEY YOU KNOW
THESE MONIES ARE AVAILABLE-
WOULD YOU WANT TO CONSIDER YOU
KNOW REOPENING- YOUR CENTER-
WHAT ARE. IS WHAT IS THE PLAN
TO RECRUIT FIT THE WORK FORCE
HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH
IN CHILD CARE- FINDING-
QUALIFIED TEACHERS- AND CARE
GIVERS- IS NOT EASY. SO WHAT IS
THE PLAN TO RECRUIT THEM TO
EVEN IF YOU ARE A PROVIDER THAT
WANTS TO OPEN. AND YOU'RE
APPROVED FOR FORTY EIGHT SLOTS-
CAN YOU HIRE THE TEACHERS TO
MEET RATIOS- THESE ARE SOME OF
THE THINGS THAT I THINK MY
COLLEAGUE IS LOOKING TO SEE. IF
WE WANT TO GET TO A HUNDRED
THOUSAND WHAT'S THAT WHAT'S THE
ACTUAL PLAN- FOR ACTUALLY
OPENING DOORS AT CENTERS. AND
PAIRING FAMILIES ABOUT WITH
PROVIDERS. WITH RESPECT TO
LICENSE CAPACITY I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT WE
AT THIS POINT ARE ALMOST ABOUT
A NET ZERO. AND IN TERMS OF THE
LAST AND THE GAINES SO WE HAVE
WE HAVE LOST SIGNIFICANT
CAPACITY AS YOUR KILEY DID AND
WE HAVE BEEN DEEPLY CONCERNED
ABOUT. THAT BUT AT THE SAME
TIME WE HAVE POP UP CENTERS
THAT HAVE. BEGUN AND WE ARE
TRANSITIONING THEM FLEXING AND
WE'VE HAD NEW PROVIDER. ARE
COMING AND THAT THOSE ARE A
VERY MINOR CHANGE IN THE
OVERALL FEEL. HAVING SAID THAT
WE HAVE BOB I WANTED TO
INCREASE THE AVAILABILITY OF
QUALITY CHILD CARE AND THERE
ARE INVESTMENTS IN THE BUDGET
BUT ALSO DO FOCUS. ON HOW. THE
CHILD CARE INITIATIVE PROJECT
IN PARTICULAR THAT FUNDING IS
INTENDED IT DOES INCLUDE. BOTH
OUTREACH AND ASSISTANCE TO FOR
PROVIDERS TO ASSIST THEM WITH
BECOMING LICENSE. AND THEN WE
ALSO HAVE THE NON LICENSE OR
LICENSE EXEMPT. CARE THAT IS
PROVIDED SO I HOPE THOSE ARE
HELPFUL CLARIFICATIONS TO-
PRESIDENTIAL CONTACTS BUT- EVEN
THOUGH THERE HAVE BEEN.
SIGNIFICANT CHALLENGES WE DO
ALSO HAVE GROWTH THAT'S
HAPPENING AT THE- OKAY LAST
LAST QUESTION HERE. IS. YEAH WE
PROPOSED FOR TKA OF WHICH-
WE'RE SUPPORTIVE OF WE'VE DONE
A FOUR POINT 005% COAL INCREASE
AND HERE WE'RE DOING A ONE
POINT 7% CALL INCREASE SO WHEN
YOU WHEN YOU'RE- DURING A VERY
MINIMAL CALL INCREASE AND NO
RATE INCREASE. RIGHT. IS THAT
PROBLEMATIC TO. ENSURING THAT
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE THE KIND OF
PROVIDERS THAT WE NEED. EVEN
JUST AN EXISTING PROGRAM. THE
MAN. IS THAT A PART IN A
FINANCE. OR WHOEVER WOULD LIKE
TO ANSWER FROM THE
ADMINISTRATION THAT BE GREAT
LET'S HAVE THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. ANSWER THAT AND THEN
LET'S STAY ON THIS TOPIC FOR A
BIT. YEAH WOULD THE REGIONAL
MARK RATE- AGAIN. WORD CAN. TO
INTO THE TOPIC. WE WORK- TO.
FUTURE DISK. ABOUT THE- AS FOR
THE- I DO NOT HAVE THAT IN.
WITH ME AT THIS MOMENT. BUT I
CAN BACK TEARS. OKAY THAT'S NOT
HOME THE DEPARTMENT OF RAINY
AND MOST HAPPY ADD ON AND- TO
MISTER DEALERS RESPONSE. WHAT
DID YOU LEARN FIRST JUST RIGHT
NOW WITH THE COLA QUESTION WHY
THE DIFFERENTIAL THERE. YEAH
SO- D. AS I BELIEVE THAT YOU'RE
SPEAKING TO IS THE HEALTHIEST
OF COLA WHICH WERE PROPOSING-
AT FIVE POINT 007% AND IN THE
BUDGET. AND THAT IS JUST
DISTRICT CONTACTS THAT IS THE-
COMPOUNDING OF THE TWO POINT
21% COLLECTING TWENTY TWENTY
ONE. ONE POINT 7% COLLECTING
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO AND ONE
PERCENT- ADDITIONAL OUT ON THAT
WE ARE PROPOSING- WITHIN THAT
THE MAY REVISION- SO THE 1%
OBVIOUSLY THE POLICY DECISION
WHICH WE'RE HAPPY TO DISCUSS
AND THE IN THE K. TWELVE- FIVE
THAT YOU'RE REFERRING TO IS
THAT COMPOUNDED COLA BETWEEN.
TWENTY TWENTY ONE TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO- UNDERSTANDING THAT-
THAT THE COLA DOES IMPACT THE
APPLICATION OF COLA. TO THE
TITLE FIGHT PROGRAMS DOES NOT
INCREASE THE RATES FOR THOSE
PROGRAMS- UNDERSTANDING THAT
WE'RE ALSO GOING TO HAVE A
CONTINUING CONVERSATION AS MY
COLLEAGUES- DISCUSSED EARLIER
REGARDING THE OVERALL RATE
SYSTEM AND WE KNOW THAT THERE'S
A LOT OF DIFFERENT PROPOSALS
OUT THERE. I'M SPECIFIC TO YOU
KNOW BRING IN THE RACE TOGETHER
AND HOW DOES THAT HOW DOES THE
ARE MARKED CONNECT TO THE S. R.
R. AND WE ARE KEEPING BACK CALL
LACK OF STATUTORY TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO. WITH THE
UNDERSTANDING THAT THOSE
CONVERSATIONS ARE GOING TO
CONTINUE ABOUT THE OVERALL RATE
STRUCTURE. GIVE A FOLLOW UP
QUESTION. MORE THAN JUST THE. I
UNDERSTAND THAT BUT IT'S DEAD
THE PROBLEMATIC THINGS WE'VE
BEEN TALKING ABOUT RATES. YOU
KNOW FOR AT LEAST THREE YEARS
HERE AND SO NOW WE'RE GOING TO
CONTINUE THE DISCUSSION WE GOT
A MONTH BEFORE WE GOT TO
FINALIZE A BUDGET SO. ONE OF
THOSE DISCUSSIONS I GUESS GOING
TO HAPPEN THEY'VE ALREADY BEEN
HAPPENING I KNOW ON OUR END-
AND WE'VE SEEN THE NEED FOR IT
IF YOU REALLY WANT TO ATTRACT.
MORE PEOPLE AND MORE PROVIDERS
YEAH LET'S LET ME JUST ADD ON
TO WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT MR
GALLAGHER AND 100% IN AGREEMENT
THERE AND THAT'S ONE OF THE TOP
PRIORITIES OF THE ASSEMBLY AND
OUR BUDGET IS ADDRESSING THE
RATES BECAUSE IF YOU WANT TO
WELL EVEN IF YOU JUST WANT TO
HAVE EXISTING CHILD CARE WHERE
WE HAVE NOW THE NUMBER OF SLOTS
RATES AS A PROBLEM. YOU KNOW WE
CAN'T KEEP UP WITH YOU KNOW THE
ECONOMIC FACTORS OF PAYING OUR
EMPLOYEES DECENT WAGES YOU KNOW
WE LOSE OUR WORK FORCE TO
BETTER JOBS THAT COSCO IN AND
OUT BURGER NOTHING AGAINST
COSCO NOW BURGER BUT YOU KNOW
PEOPLE MAKE FINANCIAL CHOICES
FOR THEIR FAMILIES AND IF. YOU
KNOW THE MOST IMPORTANT JOBS
SIZE TAKE CARE OF OUR KIDS WE
DON'T PAY THAT THAT WORKFORCE-
YOU KNOW LIVING WAGE YOU KNOW
IT'S NOT ROCKET SCIENCE TO SEE
WHAT HAPPENS THERE SO AND THEN
WE WERE LOOKING ABOUT EXPANDING
BY A HUNDRED THOUSAND
POTENTIALLY TWO HUNDRED
THOUSAND SLOTS- AND- YOU KNOW
HOW. IS THIS GOING TO WORK OUT
IN LESS WE ADJUST. OUR RATE
STRUCTURE SIMPLIFY IT WHICH
WE'RE TRYING TO DO IN THESE.
BILLS WE'VE- BEEN CAUGHT LAST
COUPLE YEARS- I KNOW DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE AND OTHERS TALK
ABOUT YOUR NEGOTIATING. WITH
YOU KNOW THE UNION CONTRACTORS%
PROVIDERS OUT THERE BUT REMIND
YOU THAT A LOT OF THE- CHILD
CARE FIELD OUT THERE IS NOT
UNION WHETHER SCHOOL DISTRICTS
ARE- CBO'S IN COMMUNITIES YOU
KNOW. WE WANT TO TAKE CARE OF
OUR OF OUR UNIONIZED WORKFORCE
AND NOW THAT'S THE LOG WITH THE
LIMóN THE FROM TWO YEARS AGO
AND RIGHTFULLY SO I'M GOING TO
DO THAT BUT- THERE'S A BIG
PIECE OF THE CHILD CARE FIELD
THAT NEED THAT TOO. SO IF WE
DON'T ADDRESS RATES. ALL THESE
WORDS HERE ON THESE ON THE PLAN
AND- THAT AND WHAT WE'RE
TALKING ABOUT THE IF THAT WON'T
WORK SO HOW DO YOU. ADDRESS.
THAT DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. SO
I'LL DEFINITELY DEFERRED TO MY-
DEPARTMENT SOCIAL SERVICES
COLLEAGUES TO DISCUSS THE
IMPACT ON THE OVERALL CHILD
CARE- SYSTEM- UNDERSTANDING OF
COURSE IN THE PRESCHOOL SIDE
WHICH IS WHICH I CAN SPEAK TO-
THAT THERE ARE SOME TOTAL BY
PROVIDERS WHO ARE FAMILY CHILD
CARE. PROVIDERS SO IT'S OKAY-
THE CONVERSATION IS NOT QUITE
SO CUT AND DRY AS- YOU KNOW
THOSE WHO ARE REPRESENTED- AT
THROUGH THE COLLECTIVE
BARGAINING PROCESS AND THOSE.
WHO AREN'T THERE ACTUALLY ARE
SOME REALLY TOUGH CAR
PROVIDERS THAT PARTICIPATE NOT
HEALTHCARE PROGRAMS. BUT BUT
RECOGNIZING THAT. THESE
CONVERSATIONS COUNTY HAD
SEPARATELY FROM EACH OTHER THEY
HAVE TO HAPPEN ALTOGETHER
OBVIOUSLY BECAUSE YOU KNOW AS
AS WE AS WE HAVE TALKED. ABOUT
FOR YEARS NOW AND- WITH YOU AND
IF MCCARTY- YOU KNOW THERE
THERE ARE IMPACTS THE WEEK
REACHING THREE TO ONE AREA- AND
DON'T CHANGE IN ANOTHER AREA
SO. AGAIN WE ARE WE ARE LOOKING
AT THIS CONVERSATION
HOLISTICALLY- AND THAT. ARE YOU
KNOW CERTAINLY TAKING INTO
CONSIDERATION- YOU KNOW YOUR
PRIORITIES AS WELL AS THE
PARTIES OF THE SENATE. ON A
MOVING FORWARD AND I WOULD JUST
DEFER TO MY COLLEAGUE SEPARATE
HEALTH COMPONENT SERVICES FOR
ANY KIND OF THING THEY HAVE. ON
THE IMPACT OF CHILD CARE THE
OVERALL CHILD CARE SYSTEM.
BEFORE THAT THEY DO WE GET PAST
THE EAGLES BEEN DELIVERING
THESE CONTRACTS FOR YEARS THE
THIRD LEVEL MORE GAMES. DO. YOU
THINK THAT WE COULD EXPAND. SLY
BY- THE HUNDRED DOLLAR OR MORE.
WITH THE EXISTING GREAT
STRUCTURE DO WE NEED TO
INCREASE RIGHT. THEIR NUMBER
MARKING CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION WE HAVE BEEN ABLE
TO EXPAND ITS THOUGHTS VSAT IT
JUST DEPENDS ON WHICH PART OF
THE SYSTEM YOU'RE LOOKING NOT I
DO THINK I THINK WE ALL KNOW
THAT RATES CONTINUE TO BE AN
ISSUE. AND AS WE LOOK FOR ME
THE REPORT I REALLY WANT TO
KEEP MY COMMENTS ON THE STATE
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM AND NOT
ADDRESS THE CHILD CARE SITE
THAT REALLY GETS DSS AS PER
VIEW AT THIS POINT. SO FOR THE
CALIFORNIA STATE PRESCHOOL
PROGRAM JUST TO MAINTAIN WHAT
WE HAVE WE NEED TO ENSURE THAT
THE RATES ARE INCREASED WE KNOW
THAT THEY STRUGGLE WITH KEEPING
TEACHERS WITH HIRING TEACHERS
WITH GETTING TEACHERS THAT ARE
QUALIFIED. FOR THOSE THE TITLE
FIVE STRUCTURE SO HARD OUT OF
WHAT NEEDS TO BE LOOKED AT AS
HOW WE ENSURE THAT THE CURRENT
SYSTEM IS SUPPORTED AT A RATE
AND A FUNDING AMOUNT AND I
THINK EARLIER MY TALKING POINTS
I SPOKE TO THAT. IN NOT EVEN A
FAMILY CHILD CARE HOME PROVIDER
IS MAKING MORE FOR THREE AND
FOUR YEAR OLD THAT OUR STATE
SCHOOL PROGRAMS AND INTERSTATE
PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS HAVE TO. DO
MUCH HIGHER STANDARDS AND TO
PROVIDE SPECIFIC SERVICES TO
THE PRESCHOOL AGE CHILDREN
ACTUALLY ARE DELIVERING A
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM WITH SPECIFIC
REQUIREMENTS. AND STANDARDS
AROUND SOME. OKAY I THANK I
FORGOT TO PRESS THE ON BUTTON
SO WE HEARD US HERE BUT PEOPLE
AT HOME I WAS ASKING ABOUT- HOW
COULD WE INCREASE LOTS WITHOUT
CORRESPONDINGLY INCREASE RATES
AND WE CAN WE CAN GO ON THIS I
JUST WANT TO MAKE THE POINT
CRYSTAL CLEAR THIS IS AN
ABSOLUTE. IN THE ASSEMBLY
BUDGET- WE WON'T PUSH FOR AND
GO FOR WITH THE BUDGET LAST
WEEK. THAT ADEQUATELY ADDRESS-
THE RATE STRUCTURE FOR EASY
PROGRAMS. FURTHER QUESTIONS ON
THESE ISSUES MR O'DONNELL. JUST
A QUICK QUESTION I MAY HAVE
HEARD IT RIGHT I MAY HAVE HEARD
IT INCORRECTLY. HI THIS
QUESTION IS FOR THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE THERE WERE SOME LA-
COMMENTS IF I INTERPRET THEM
CORRECTLY THAT. STEVE THE
FEDERAL FUNDS- PROPOSED FOR
INFRASTRUCTURE CANNOT BE USED
FOR CONSTRUCTION OR LAND
PURCHASE IS THAT ACCURATE. SO
DIFFIDENT POINT READY
INFRASTRUCTURE WERE MADE BEFORE
AFTER OKAY GUIDANCE WITH
AVAILABLE AND WE'RE CONTINUING
TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS AS
NEW FEDERAL GUIDANCE IS
AVAILABLE. OKAY THANK YOU OKAY.
AND THEN JUST LASTLY I WANT TO
KNOW THAT LMAO MENTIONED- THE-
FEDERAL MONEY AND POTENTIALLY
DECREASING NUMBER OF SLOTS AND
I THINK WE AND OUR BUDGET-
RECOGNIZE OUT YEAR REVENUES AND
PEGGED THESE TOWARDS MAKING
SURE THIS IS A PRIORITY. TO
INCREASE LOT SLIDE THIS YEAR IN
THE OUT YEARS AS WELL. SO THESE
ISSUES ISSUES WE WILL HOLD OPEN
CERTAINLY OF TOP PRIORITY OF
THE ASSEMBLY BUT WE WON'T TAKE
ACTION TODAY. ISSUE NUMBER TWO.

WILL LEAVE A COMMENT AT THAT
BUT I HAVE OF MYSELF AND
SEVERAL COLLEAGUES FROM OTHER
DEPARTMENTS ANSWER QUESTIONS
YOU HAVE ANY. AFTER THE REST OF
THE PANEL OF GETTING. OKY
THANK YOU L. A. L. THANK YOU MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS CAN GET ON
WITH THE LEGEND WITH OFFICE
I'LL BE SPEAKING FROM A
SHORTHAND OUT THAT OUR OFFICE
PUBLISHED ON OUR WEBSITE THIS
MORNING- BACK IN JANUARY YOU
HEARD US SAY THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET IN THE
BIGGEST NEED YOUR INCREASE IN
CASE FOURTEEN FUNDING IN THE
HISTORY OF PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT. AND THIS MAYOR VISION
CONTINUED RIGHT IN THAT SAME
VEIN BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF THE
CAR YOU ALSO REPRESENT. THE%
BIGGEST INCREASE IN FUNDING
BETWEEN JANUARY AND MAY- THAT
WE'VE SEEN IN THE HISTORY OF
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT. OTHER
PROMINENT FINANCE MENTIONED THE
SEVENTEEN POINT SEVEN BILLION
INCREASE THE PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT GUARANTEE THAT'S OVER THE
NINETEEN TWENTY TO TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO. YEAH AND AGAIN
THAT'S REFLECTING ABOUT 40% OF
THE INCREASE IN GENERAL FUND
REVENUES- AS REQUIRED BY- THAT
TEST ONE FORMULA THAT SET THE
SIDE. UP 40% THE STATE REVENUE.
AFTER SCHOOLS COMMUNITY
COLLEGES. WE THINK THE
GOVERNOR'S REVENUE ESTIMATES
ARE REASONABLE- SOLID STARTING
POINT FOR BUILDING THIS YEAR'S
BUDGET- WE ALSO THINK THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSAL TO
ELIMINATE THE SUPPLEMENTAL
PAYMENTS AS REASONABLE AS WELL-
THE PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEE THIS YEAR IS ABOUT AS
FAR ABOVE THE CREEK AND
DEMOCRATS HOLD. NOW AS WE
THOUGHT IT WOULD BE BELOW THE
CREEK ENDEMIC LEVEL BACK AND
YOU AND- AND SO THE RECOVERY
THAT THOSE SUPPLEMENTAL
PAYMENTS WERE INTENDED TO
ACCOMPLISH HAS BEEN ACHIEVED.
ALSO THE TOTAL INCREASE IN
FUNDING- IN THIS MAY REVISION
IS FIFTEEN POINT FOUR BILLION
THAT'S THE SEVENTEEN POINT
SEVEN BILLION INCREASING THE
GUARANTEE. LESS THE TWO POINT
THREE BILLION US UP ON A
PAYMENT. THAT WAS IN THE
GOVERNOR'S JANUARY BUDGET. I
ENTER OF THE- STRUCTURE OF THIS
BUT FIGURE STUFF. I WOULD NOT I
THINK ON PAGE STUFF OF HEARING.
AGAIN TO GIVE YOU GOOD OVER. I
SAW THE BACK. THE HIGHER PROP
NINE EIGHT GUARANTEE. I MAKES
THE HIGHER REQUIRED RESERVE
DEPOSIT AND THEN ALLOCATE 789%
OF THE REMAINING FUNDS TO
SQUIRRELS AND THE WEAPON
PERCENT TO COMMUNITY COLLEGES-
ARE CONSISTENT WITH THE
STATE'S. HEALTH PRACTICE. FOR
ALLOCATING INCREASES IN THE
GUARANTEED. I DON'T CARE A LOT
ABOUT THE COMING COLLEGE. I'LL
TOMORROW SO OFTEN JUST ON THE
NEED TO KEEP CHANGES. ARE YOU
PROBABLY REMEMBER THAT THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET HAD LITTLE
OVER SEVENTEEN POINT THREE
BILLION YEN HECALLED
PROPOSALS- THIS MAY REVISION
ADDS ANOTHER TWELVE POINT SIX
BILLION IT NEW PROPOSALS ON TOP
OF THAT AMOUNT. SO THE TOTAL
PACKAGE BEFORE YOU AT ABOUT
THIRTY BILLION IN. TOTAL K.
TWELVE- PROPOSALS- THE
GOVERNOR'S PROPOSING TO
ALLOCATE NEARLY TWENTY FOUR
BILLION OF THAT FOR A ONE TIME
ACTIVITIES. AND SIX BILLION FOR
ONGOING AUGMENTATIONS. I THINK
THE DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE GIVE
YOU A GOOD OVERVIEW OF SOME OF
THE MAKING MVING PIECES- FOR
THE ONGOING FUNDS ALMOST ALL OF
THAT IS RELATED TO. THE LOCAL
CONTROL FUNDING FORMULA IF THE
FIVE POINT 007% COST OF LIVING
ADJUSTMENT INCLUDING A 1%
ADDITIONAL BASE INCREASE FOR
ALL DISTRICTS. AS WELL AS THE
AUGMENTATIONS I TO THE
CONCENTRATION GRANT AND THEN A
NEW FUNDING STREAM- FOR
EXPANDED LEARNING- THAT WOULD
INCLUDE AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAMS
ACTUALLY SUMMER ENRICHMENT-
CURRENT. CURRENTLY STRUCTURED
TO BE SEPARATE FROM THE LCF
DEATH BUT IT COULD BE FOLDED.
INTO THE FORMULA OVER TIME. TO
WHAT THERE ARE BIG ON. ARE
COMPARED WITH JANUARY THAT'LL
HAVE THESE ARE BOTH ONE. I WON
AS THE COMMUNITIES. WE PROGRAM.
I THINK THAT THIS MAY REVISION
PROVIDES A TOTAL OF THREE
BILLION FOR THAT PROGRAM. STEP
TWO POINT EIGHT BILLION
COMPARED TO THE GOVERNOR'S
BUDGET. SETS ASIDE ABOUT 70% OF
THAT AMOUNT. TO CREATE YOU
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS AND 30% FOR
EXPANDING- AND CONTINUING
EXISTING COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.
ANOTHER MAJOR AUGMENTATION AND
FOCUSES ON THE EDUCATION
WORKFORCE- THIS MANAGING HAS
ABOUT TWO POINT EIGHT BILLION
FOR PREPARATION TRAINING AND
RETENTION ACTIVITIES THAT'S AN
INCREASE OF TWO POINT THREE
BILLION COMPARED TO THE
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET- ONE OF THE-
BIGGEST COMPONENT OF THAT PIECE
OF ONE POINT FIVE BILLION FOR
THE EDUCATOR EFFECTIVENESS
BLOCK GRANT- THAT'S SOMETHING
THAT DISTRICTS COULD USE. A TO
FIND A RANGE OF TRAINING-
COACHING AND MENTORING AND
OTHER ACTIVITIES. FOR TEACHERS
ADMINISTRATORS AS WELL AS
CLASSIFIED STAFF- THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE MATCHING
THE SCORE WE OPENING PROPOSED
SO THIS IS ANOTHER TWO BILLION
FOR HEALTH AND SAFETY
ACTIVITIES- THESE FUNDS
DISTRICTS COULD USE THESE FUNDS
FOR RANGE OF ACTIVITIES- THAT
WOULD INCLUDE TESTING FOR- I
THINK THE BETTER RESPECTS
INITIATIVES- CLEANING-
RECONFIGURING FACILITY IS.
INCLUDE MEDITATION- PERSPECTIVE
EQUIPMENT- REALLY ARRANGED
ACTIVITIES FOR THE OPENING
SCHOOLS. AGAIN SEPARATE FROM
THAT REALLY ACTION TWO BILLION
THAT. YOU PUT APPROVED BACK IN
MARCH. THERE'S ALSO EIGHT POINT
FOUR BILLION FOR PAYING DOWN
THE PEARLS THAT IS AN INCREASE
OF ABOUT ONE POINT ONE BILLION-
COMPARED WITH. THE GOVERNOR
GENERAL BUDGET BUT WHAT THE TWO
POINT SIX BILLION IN THE FOR
ALSO MEANING AT THE END OF
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO. THE BIG
MULTI YOUR PROPOSAL IS THE ONE
I RELATED TO TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN- SO THE GOVERNOR
WOULD MAKE ALL FOUR YEAR OLDS
ELIGIBLE FOR THAT PROGRAM OVER
A THREE YEAR PERIOD FROM TWENTY
TO TWENTY THREE- CONCLUDING IN
TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE. A
FOCUS JUST ON THE FISCAL SIDE
OF THAT- THE FUNDING THE
ONGOING FUNDING FOR DISTRICTS
BUT THIS PROGRAM WOULD COME
THROUGH MAKING THE STUDENTS
ELIGIBLE TO GENERATE ATTENDANCE
TO THE LOCAL CONTROL FUNDING
FORMULA. ADMINISTRATION
ESTIMATES STATUS NO COSTS- THAT
BY. TWENTY FOUR TWENTY FIVE
WOULD TOTAL ABOUT TWO POINT
SEVEN BILLION. AND THE GOVERNOR
ALSO PROPOSES TO INCREASE OR
WHAT WE CALL REVENGE THE
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEE TO COVER THOSE COSTS.
SO RATHER THAN PAYING FOR. IT
IF NOT I'LL SEE AT THE OFFICE
YOUR EXISTING GROWTH IN THE
GUARANTEE. OF THE STATE WOULD
PAY FOR IT BY. INCREASING THE
GUARANTEE AND ESSENTIALLY
TRYING DOWN NONPROFIT ASIAN AND
YET FUNDING TO PAY FOR THAT. A
SEPARATE FROM THOSE BASE COST
THE GOVERNOR ALSO HAS A
PROPOSAL TO REDUCE ADULT THE
CHILD RATIOS- THIS WOULD
PROVIDE THIS PROPOSAL TO
PROVIDE WANTED ADDITIONAL US
CERTIFICATE A CLASSIFIED STAFF
FOR EXTENDING EACH TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN CLASSROOM. THE
FINANCE ESTIMATES DIVISIONAL
COSTS WOULD TOTAL SEVEN HUNDRED
AND FORTY MILLION BY TWENTY
FOUR TWENTY FIVE. AND UNLIKE
THE BASE COST THE STATE WOULD
PAY FOR THOSE COSTS WITHIN
EXISTING GROWTH OF THE
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
GUARANTEE. I'VE BEEN THINKING
ABOUT RETENTION- THIS BILL
DECISION I THINK REALLY COMES
DOWN TO- THE TRADEOFF- AND YOUR
PRIORITIES WITHIN THE BROADER
STATE BUDGET CONTEXT- I
UNDERSTANDING IS THAT
PREVENTION IN THIS CIRCUMSTANCE
IS ALLOWABLE B THE
CONSTITUTION. WE DON'T THINK
IT'S- THAT REQUIRED IT WOULDN'T
HAVE TO DO IT. WHAT IT REALLY
MEANS IS THAT OVER TIME THE
STATE WOULD BE ABLE TO SPEND
MORE ON PROPOSITION NINETY
EIGHT PROGRAMS. AND LESS ON NON
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
PROGRAMS AND SO- THAT'S JUST
SOMETHING PRETTY TO THINK ABOUT
IN. DEVELOPING. A MULTI YEAR
STRUCTURE OF THIS BUDGET. HI
THERE TWO POINT SIX- FOR. THIS
YEAR'S BUDGET- THIS IS FINDING
THAT WOULD DRAW FROM A COUPLE
DIFFERENT POTS OF FEDERAL
FUNDING AND SIX HUNDRED MILLION
WHAT TWO HUNDRED MILLION IN
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT
FUNDING- FOR THIS TARGETED
INTERVENTION GRANT DISTRICTS
COULD USE THE FUNDS TO PAY FOR
A- WIDE VARIETY OF SERVICES.
INTENSIVE TUTORING ADDITIONAL
INSTRUCTIONAL TIME- OTHER TEXAS
SUPPORTS BY THE FEDERAL OF THIS.
COULD BE USED TO REMEMBER SIX-
BACK TO THE STATE OF THE PANDA.
OR EXPENSE- THE STATE. COULD BE
USED FOR X. JUST INCUR AFTER.
JULY FIRST OF. TWO TWENTY ONE.
I TURNED INTO A ASSESSMENT WE
THINK THIS IS HAS SOMEONE FOR.
SO IT DOES INCLUDE SOMETHING
AUGMENTATION FOR AREAS THAT
HAVE BEEN. A LEGISLATIVE
PRIORITIES A NUMBER OF YEARS I
THE BEST THING OF THE ARE
INCREASE RIGHT HI THE INCREASES.
FOR ACTORS AND LEARNING TIME.
AND THEN ADDITIONAL. I THIS
SUPPORT. I STRUCTURALLY THIS
BUT ALSO. A LARGE ONE TIME
BECAUSE- OF THE KICKOFF. THE
CPAS. US. TO TWENTY ONE FOR
TWO. I'M MORE THAN FOUR TWO
BILLION IN FOUR ONE TEN
ACTIVITY. AND COMBINING THAT
AMOUNT WITH THE PROPER NINETY
EIGHT WITH DEPART. AND SOMEONE
TEN COMMITTEE CALL SPEND. THIS
BUDGET AT THE TONE ONE TIME. A
NEARLY SAID BILLION. AND THAT'S
IMPORTANT PIECE OF THIS.
BECAUSE IF THEY HEARING WORK
DROP NOT YEAR. THAT ONE TIME
PRESSURE. BUT THE STATE OF
WAITING MAKE CUTS TO ON BLANCA.
OR I MEAN. TURNING BACK TO
DEFER. IF THE GUARANTEE DOESN'T
DROP IT. THAT'S FUNNY FREE TO
NEXT YEAR YOU CAN ADD USE THAT
ADDRESS. A NEW ISSUE IS A QUITE.
AND IT INCLUDES A ONE TIME
INCENTIVE FUNDING BUT IT WASN'T
CLEAR- WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
THE GOVERNOR WANTED TO GO WITH
THAT PROPOSAL. AND WE WEREN'T
SURE WHAT THE IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN WAS- THIS MAY REVISION HAS
A FAIRLY AS A CLEAR END GOAL
AND- A CLEAR IMPLEMENTATION
PLAN- THERE'S BOTH ONE TIME AND
ONGOING FUNDING THAT LINES UP
WITH- THE COST DISTRICTS ONE
CREATED INCREASE THESE PROGRAMS.
AND SO IT'S MUCH- I THINK IT'S
A MUCH MORE DEVELOPED A
PROPOSAL- THERE ARE SOME
DETAILS AN IMPORTANT ISSUE
STILL TO THINK ABOUT LIKE. WHAT
WE WOULD LIKE THE STATE
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM TO LOOK LIKE
THAT PROGRAM CURRENTLY SERVES
MANY FOUR YEAR OLDS. I
PERSONALLY WILL SERVE MUCH
FEWER OF THEM. I ONCE THAT I
WILL OUT OF TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN BEGINS. BUT
OVERALL- THIS IS STRONGER
PROPOSAL I THINK WE ALSO THINK
THERE'S BEEN SOME IMPROVEMENTS
IN THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
PROPOSAL AND ALL OF MY
COLLEAGUE I TOOK A LOOK. ON MY
COLLEAGUES TALK ABOUT MORE
ABOUT THAT. IN ONE OF THE NEXT
PANELS. BUT TO OUR CONCERN.
GOING TO FLY. AFTER PROPOSAL
FOR YOU ONE IS THE TWO POINT
SIX BILLION. FOR TARGETED
INTERVENTION AND THE SECOND TO
GET THE TWO BILLION FOR HEALTH
AND SAFETY ACTIVITIES.
DISTRICTS HAVE ALREADY RECEIVED
MORE THAN THIRTY MILLION
DOLLARS FOR. ADJUSTING LEARNING
LOSS AND- HEALTH AND SAFETY
ACTIVITIES RELATED TO THE
PANDEMIC MORE THAN TWENTY FOUR
BILLION IN FEDERAL FUNDS MORE
THAN SIX BILLION STATE FUNDS.
AND THOUGH THAT EIGHT PREVIOUS.
CAN BE USED TO SUPPORT ALL OF
THE SPECIFIC ACTIVITIES THAT
ARE OUTLINED IN THESE TWO MOST
RECENT PROPOSALS. INCLUDING
TARGETED INVENTION INTERVENTION
IS LIKE KIND OF TUTORING AND
ACTIVITIES- TO OPEN SCHOOLS.
AND WE ARE CONCERNED IS THAT
THESE TWO PROPOSALS PROVIDE A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE IN
FUNDING. I WITHOUT IT THEIR
JUSTIFICATION FOR IT. A LEADING
UP TO THE MAY REVISION WHAT WE
HEARD FROM DISTRICTS THAT THAT
DISTRICTS HAVE NOT SPENT ALL OF
THE ONE TIME FUNDED THEY'VE
ALREADY RECEIVED CITIES
ACTIVITIES. AND ALTHOUGH THEY
FACE A LOT OF CHALLENGES WITH
THE OPENING SCHOOLS MAKING UP
PREVENTING LOSS. THOSE DON'T
SEEM TO STEM FROM A LACK OF ONE
TIME FUNDING. IN FACT THE
BIGGEST CHALLENGE I THINK FOR
MANY DISTRICTS IS FINDING
EFFECTIVE WAYS TO USE THE
FUNDING WE'VE ALREADY RECEIVED.
SO WE THINK YOU COULD REJECT
BOTH OF THOSE PROPOSALS. AND
USE THOSE. FREED UP FUNDS FOR
HIGHER PRIORITIES. LASTLY WE
THERE IS A MISTER. IN THIS
MAYOR TO MAKE MORE PROGRESS ON
BUILDING SCHOOL DISTRICT-
BUDGET RESILIENCY- SPECIFICALLY
LEAVING TWO POINT SIX BILLION
AND APPROACH THE MEANING- THAT
SECOND STEP THE CONCERN TO US-
IT'S A CONTRAST TO WHAT THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING THE
COMMUNITY COLLEGE SIDE. ALL OF
THOSE DEFERRALS ARE PAID DOWN
WE THINK THAT'S MORE PROMISING
APPROACH AND WE RECOMMEND
ADOPTING. THAT SAME APPROACH
FOR. K. TWELVE EDUCATION- THE
BUDGET ALSO HAVE- ANY PROPOSALS
RELATED TO LONG TERM INCREASES
AND PENSION COSTS. AND IN
PREVIOUS YEARS THERE HAVE BEEN
SOME PROPOSALS AND WE'VE SEEN-
BASED ON THAT ARE MAKING OUT OF
LARGE ONE TIME PAYMENT IN ONE
YEAR CAN PROVIDE SAVINGS OVER A
NUMBER OF DECADES AND REALLY
HELP ADDRESS AND STABILIZE
DISTRICT BUDGETS OVER A LONGER
PERIOD OF TIME. AND I THINK. I
JUST WANT TO EMPHASIZE THAT ONE
REASON WE BRING UP THIS THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT BUDGET-
RESILIENCY CONCERN ISN'T JUST
ABOUT- IS BEING A GOOD FISCAL
PRACTICE ALTHOUGH WE THINK THAT
CLEARLY IS A CONCERN AND I
COULD. JUST CONSIDERATION. BUT
ALSO WE THINK THAT THE BENEFITS
STUDENTS BY INCREASING THE
LIKELIHOOD. THAT THE PROGRAMS
DISTRICTS CREATE OVER THE
COMING YEAR WITH ALL OF THIS
ONE TIME FUNDING THE RECEIVING.
THAT THOSE PROGRAMS CAN BE
SUSTAINED. OVER TIME OVER A
LONGER PERIOD AND THROUGHOUT AN
ECONOMIC CYCLE. BOB SO CAN DOWN
THE PEARLS ACTUALLY SOMETHING
PENSIONS WOULD BOTH THAT WOULD
LEAVE PREPARE BOTH THE STATE
AND DISTRICTS- THE BETTER DEAL
WITH. SOME OF THE ECONOMIC.
UNCERTAINTY ON THE ECONOMIC UPS
AND DOWNS. FIRST OF ALL STOP
THEIR MICHAEL IS A GROUP SOME
ADDITIONAL COMPANY PANEL BUT WE
HAVE THE ANSWER QUESTIONS. OKAY
YOU THAT NEXT DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION. GOOD MORNING MR
CHAIRMAN MEMBERS ELLIE GARNER
DIRECTOR OF GOVERNMENT AFFAIRS
FOR THE CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION ON BEHALF OF STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION TEMPERAMENT THANK
YOU SO MUCH FOR THE OPPORTUNITY.
WE ARE THANKFUL THAT THE
GOVERNOR CONTINUES TO MAKE
EDUCATION A TOP PRIORITY IN HIS
BUDGET. MANY OF THE PROPOSALS
IN THE NEIGHBORING VISION
ALIGNED WITH THE SHARED GOALS
OF THE SSD I. ENSURING
EQUITABLE EDUCATION FOR ALL
STUDENTS AND CREATING A FOCUS
ON STUDENTS HIT HARDEST DURING
THIS PANDEMIC. OUR STUDENTS OF
COLOR STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME
HOUSEHOLDS STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES AND ENGLISH
LANGUAGE LEARNERS. USE THAT THE
NAY REVISED INCLUDES THE
HIGHEST EVER HELLO FUNDING FOR
EDUCATION AND THE LARGEST K.
THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATION PER
PUPIL EXPENDITURE IN THE
STATE'S HISTORY. THE COMPANY
NINETEEN CABINET HAS BRIGHTENED
THE OPPORTUNITY GAP SO WE LOOK
FORWARD TO A CLOSE PARTNERSHIP
WITH THE ADMINISTRATION THE
LEGISLATURE AND STAKEHOLDERS IN
THE WEEKS AHEAD TO TAKE THIS
OPPORTUNITY TO CLOSE THE TO
CLOSE OPPORTUNITY GAPS TO MAKE
SURE THAT STUDENTS RETURNED
SAFELY TO SCHOOL FOR IN PERSON
LEARNING AND TO MAKE SURE THAT
ALL OF CALIFORNIA STUDENTS HAVE
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT AND
EQUITABLE OPPORTUNITIES TO
EXCEL. WE WOULD JUST REQUEST AS
WAS ELECTED LEADER TO AN INCH
AND THAT THAT THE LEGISLATURE
AND ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERED
THE SAME COLOR FOR CATEGORICAL
PROGRAMS AS FOR THE LCS MATH
AND SPECIAL EDUCATION. BUT
SECURELY TO THE EXTENT
ADDITIONAL REVENUES IDENTIFIED
WOULD REQUEST THAT THE
LEGISLATURE PRIORITIZE
INCREASING THE CALL OF FOR
THOSE PROGRAMS THAT WOULD
OTHERWISE ONLY RECEIVE A ONE
POINT 7% COLLAPSE AS OPPOSED TO
THE FOUR POINT OH SEVEN.
SPECIAL EDUCATION OR THE FIVE
POINT OH SEVEN FOR LCS. THERE
WERE MANY GREAT PROPOSALS AND
ANY REVISION THERE'S ONE IN
PARTICULAR THAT WE WOULD LIKE
TO HIGHLIGHT WHICH IS THE
UNIVERSAL TRANSITION. A
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
PROPOSAL STAR NOVEL MORGAN
DEPUTY SUPERINTENDENT FOR THE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ALL GRANT TO
YOU HEARD FROM ALREADY. IS HERE
TO PRESENT ON THE UNIVERSAL
TRANSITIONAL KINDERGARTEN
PROPOSAL. SEMI TO AT LEAST
THEIR NOVEL MARC AND-
REPRESENTING THAT CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION STATE
SUPERINTENDENT OF PUBLIC
INSTRUCTION TONY THURMOND. AS
WE MENTIONED ON THE LAST PANEL
THAT MAY REVISED PROPOSAL TO
HAVE UNIVERSAL TO TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN IMPLEMENTED ACROSS
THE STATE. BY TWENTY TWENTY
FOUR TWENTY FIVE IS BOTH
HISTORIC AND EXCITING. THIS
PROPOSAL ALSO PRESENTS
ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES FOR
PRE K. THROUGH THIRD GRADE
ALIGNMENT ACROSS THE STATE.
WHICH HAS BEEN FOUND TO EXPRESS
SUPPORT INVESTMENTS IN
PRESCHOOL AND I TRUST THINGS
LIKE TO FIGURE OUT WHAT. WE
HOPE THAT THIS IS A STARK
INVESTMENT WILL THAT
CALIFORNIA'S SERVE MANY MORE.
AT THE NEARLY FOUR HUNDRED
THOUSAND THREE AND FOUR YEAR
OLD CHILDREN. WHO ARE ELIGIBLE
FOR STATE SUBSIDIZED EARLY
LEARNING PROGRAMS BUT NOT
SERVED ITEM. THERE ARE CRITICAL
CONSIDERATIONS THAT MUSTBE
ADDRESSED TO MAKE SURE THAT
UNIVERSAL TKA WORKS FOR
CHILDREN FAMILIES AND
COMMUNITIES SPECIFICALLY.
EXPANSION OF T. K. AS WELL AS
STABILIZATION OF THE CALIFORNIA
STATE PRESCHOOL PROGRAM.
CREATES AN URGENT NEED FOR AN
ESTIMATED THOUSANDS OF NEW
TEACHERS. IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT
ADEQUATE FUNDS ARE ALLOCATED
AND INNOVATIVE PROGRAMS ARE PUT
INTO PLACE TO SUPPORT THE
EXISTING PRESCHOOL WORK FORCE
AND OTHERS. TO FILL THESE JOBS
SINCE IT IS INDIVIDUALS HAVE
KNOWLEDGE AND EXPERIENCE ARE
THE FIRST. AND DESERVE THE
OPPORTUNITY TO ADVANCE IN THEIR
FIELDS. AND THAT THAT EQUITABLE
COMPENSATION AS WELL AS
BENEFITS. THE TICKET EXPERIENCE
MUST BE DEVELOPMENTALLY
APPROPRIATE. WITH PROPER
SUPPORT TICKET CLASSROOMS CAN
SUPPORT INTENTIONAL LEARNING
THROUGH PLAY. WHICH GO HAND IN
HAND WHEN EDUCATORS ARE QUICK
BUT THOUGHTFUL SEQUENCED
CURRICULA AND HAVE THE SKILLS
AND KNOWLEDGE TO SUPPORT CHILD
DEVELOPMENT. AFRICOM TAXED. HE
CAME MOST ALL SUPPORT FAMILIES
NEEDS AND PRINT CHOICE. THE
GOVERNOR'S MAY REVISE PROPOSAL
AROUND. UNIVERSAL AFTER SCHOOL
FOR TEEKAY FAMILIES IN MANY
SCHOOLS WILL GO A LONG WAY TO
SUPPORT S. AND WE APPRECIATE
EXPANDED EARLY LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES. NEED TO HAVE
LOWER ADULT CHILD RATIOS AND BE
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE.
EXCELLENT OPTION THAT MANY
PARENTS WILL CHOOSE FOR THEIR
CHILDREN SO LONG AS THAT IS
DESIGNED TO MEET THEIR NEEDS
AND GEOGRAPHICALLY ACCESSIBLE.
IT IS CRITICAL THAT WE BEGIN TO
RECOGNIZE THE MATH OF PARENTAL
CHOICE IN THE CURRENT SYSTEM
FOR WHAT IT IS. CURRENTLY MANY
PARENTS ARE FORCED TO CHOOSE
BETWEEN PROGRAMS THAT MIGHT
PROVIDE BETTER EARLY LEARNING
OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR
CHILDREN AND PROGRAMS THAT ARE
GEOGRAPHICALLY ACCESSIBLE.
HOURS THAT THERE NEEDS. FOR THE
COST FACTORS ENSURING THAT T.
K. LEADS TO AN OVERALL
EXPANSION ACCESS TO THE EARLY
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES INSTEAD
OF A LOSS OF CAPACITY. THIS
WILL REQUIRE SIMULTANEOUSLY AND
THOUGHTFUL PLANNING AND
INVESTMENTS IN NEEDS SIXTEEN
COMMUNITY BASED INFRASTRUCTURE
PRIVATE PRESCHOOL PROGRAMS THAT
CURRENTLY HAVE SPACE AS WELL AS
STAFF AND EXPERTISE SERVING AT
THESE COMMUNITIES. WE
APPRECIATE THE RECOGNITION THAT
FACILITIES AND PLANNING SUPPORT
ALONG WITH SUPPORT FOR THE PRE
SCHOOL LEARNING FOUNDATIONS AND
ADDRESSING CURRICULUM. WILL
NEED TO BE OPERATIONALIZED FOR
THIS AND- WE HAVE SEVERAL
RECOMMENDATIONS TO YOU ON THESE
PROPOSALS TO HELP STRENGTHEN
THEM AND ARE HAPPY TO WORK WITH
YOU AND YOUR STAFF AS WE WORK
TOWARDS FINALISING. PACKAGES
FINALLY WE WANT TO FLAG THE MAY
WEEK THAT THEY MAY REVISED
PROVIDE SIGNIFICANT NEW
WORKLOAD AROUND UTK THE
PRESCHOOLER RENDITIONS AND THE
EARLY MATH INITIATIVE. WITHOUT
CORRESPONDING NEW STATE
OPERATIONAL FUNDING WE'VE
REACHED OUT TO THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE THE WEBSPHERE THAT
WE WILL NEED TO INVOLVE THE
LEGISLATURE I NEEDED RESOURCES.
TO ADDRESS THE. ADDITIONAL
WORKLOAD INCLUDED. THIS
CONCLUDE OUR REMARKS FROM THANK
HAVE DEPARTMENT OF ITS- THANK
YOU FOR. OKAY THANK. THANK YOU-
THAT WRAPS IT UP FOR IN THE
PRESENTERS NOW WILL GO TO-
QUESTIONS AND COMMENTS FROM
MANY MEMBERS ALL START WITH
ASSEMBLYMEMBER RANTS. THANK YOU
SO MUCH MISTER CHAIR FIRST I
WANT TO APPLAUD THE GOVERNOR.
IN THIS MAY REVISE FOR THE
MONUMENTAL INVESTMENTS IN
CALIFORNIA EDUCATION SYSTEM
THIS IS A REALLY IMPORTANT TO
THEIR NUMBER OF THINGS THAT ARE
INCLUDED IN HERE LIKE THE
EXTENDED AND EXPANDED LEARNING.
UNIVERSAL SCHOOL MEALS
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS AND THE
FUNDING FOR EDUCATOR
EFFECTIVENESS. I SINCERELY
APPRECIATE THE CHAIRS- ROLE IN
PROVIDING FOR AND PUSHING FOR
T. K. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY
IMPORTANT ASPECT OF THIS I HAVE
HEARD FROM MANY OF OUR CHILD
CARE PROVIDERS AND WOULD LIKE
TO ADVOCATE FOR THE MIXED
DELIVERY THAT IS SOMETHING THAT
IN THE BARDEN PROPOSAL WE HEAR
SO MUCH ABOUT AND I APPRECIATE.
AGAIN THE CHAIRS WORKING WITH
THE CHILD CARE PROVIDERS AND
MAKING SURE THAT WE LOOK AT ALL
OF THESE POSSIBILITIES WHEN WE
LOOK AT CHILD CARE PROVIDERS
WHAT WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE THAT
OUR PROVIDERS. WE'RE THE ONES
THAT WERE THE FRONT LINE
WORKERS THEY WERE THE ESSENTIAL
WORKERS ARE THE ONES THAT KEPT
EVERYTHING GOING PUT THEIR LIFE
ON THE LINE. AND THEY DESERVE
TO BE RECOGNIZED AND
COMPENSATED IN ACCORDANCE WITH
THE ESSENTIAL SERVICES THAT
THEY'VE PROVIDED. ANOTHER AREA
IS OUR SPECIAL NEEDS CHILDREN
I'VE HEARD FROM MANY IN OUR
COMMUNITY AND I KNOW THAT ISN'T
NECESSARILY WHAT WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT HERE BUT I DO WANT TO
BRING THIS UP NOW- ARE SPECIAL
NEEDS CHILDREN. NEED ADDITIONAL
SERVICES AND I KNOW THAT THERE
IS- THE INCREASE IN THE BUDGET
TO DEAL WITH THIS- AND I WANT
TO BE SURE THAT. THEIR VOICES
AND THEIR NEEDS ARE HEARD AND
THAT WE HEED THEIR PLEAS
BECAUSE IT ISN'T JUST A REQUEST
THEY ARE PLEADING WITH US TO
TAKE CARE OF OUR SPECIAL NEEDS
CHILDREN. IT WITH REGARD TO THE
CHILD CARE- VERY SPECIFICALLY
PROVIDING THE RATE INCREASES.
FOR THE PROVIDERS ACCESS ACROSS
ALL CARE SETTINGS. AND TO
ELIMINATE THE FAMILY FEES. BUT
MOST IMPORTANT I THINK THAT
IT'S WORKING COLLABORATIVELY
SO THAT OUR CHILD CARE SYSTEM
IS PROTECTED. WELL WE MOVE
FORWARD WITH RTK. AND THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I THINK REQUIRES
LEADERSHIP. AND THAT IS WHY
PERSONALLY I APPRECIATE THE
LEADERSHIP OF OUR CHAIR. OF
FROM FROM THE SUB COMMITTEE IN
MAKING SURE THAT WE MOVE
FORWARD IN A WAY THAT IS
EQUITABLE AND I WANT TO THANK
HIM FOR THAT. THANK YOU SOMEONE
NEVER KNOW YOU HAVE MAJORITY
LEADER DUTIES TODAY SO YOU'RE
IN AND OUT OF THE COMMITTEE
BUT- WHAT I WANTED TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE HAD OPPORTUNITY TO HEAR
FROM YOU ON THIS ISSUE THAT
YOU'RE- OFFENDED TO. I FELL OF
BLUE RIBBON COMMISSION AS WELL
AND- I'LL HAVE A SERIES OF
QUESTIONS WILL BE START WITH A
COMMITMENT MISTER DONALD HE
HAD- YES THANK YOU- A LONG
PRESENTATION BECAUSE IT'S A
LONG LIST- BUT AGAIN I THINK
WE'RE HEADING CERTAINLY IN A
POSITIVE DIRECTION WE WOULD ALL
AGREE. PHAM ALL JUST HAVE A FEW
A FEW QUESTIONS HERE- THIS ONE
IS FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE WITH REGARD TO THE SUB
MODEL PLANET OF THE
SUPPLEMENTAL PAYMENT. IT WAS MY
UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS
AGREEMENT AMONG STAKEHOLDERS
THAT. WE WILL CONTINUE ON WITH
THE SUPPLEMENTAL A PAYMENT IN
ORDER TO RAISE THE FLOOR PROP
NINETY EIGHT WHY ARE WE
ABANDONING THIS SUPPLEMENTAL
PAYMENTS AT THIS TIME. YOU'RE
SEEKING TO MOTIONS AND-
PROPOSING TO. COURSE AREA ARE
OF FINANCE ALL TAKE A ANSWER
THAT QUESTION SO IF YOU RECALL
GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO THE
CONVERSATIONS THAT WERE HAD. AT
THE BUDGET ACT OF LAST YEAR I
BATES ARE CALCULATED THAT THE
CRIME THE ASSUMPTION WAS THAT
THE TEST ONE CALCULATED AMOUNT
ATTACHED TO CALCULATING AMOUNT
IN NINETEEN TWENTY AND TWENTY
TWENTY ONE- THE TESTS TO
CALCULATE MY WAS GOING TO BE
OVER TWELVE BILLION DOLLARS
HIGHER THAN THE PAST ONE
CALCULATED AMOUNT CUMULATIVELY-
WITH NO MECHANISM- UNDER
CURRENT LAW FOR SCHOOLS TO
REGAIN NOT FUNDING ON AN
ONGOING BASIS- IN THE GUARANTEE
OF A JETS. ATTACHED TO WOULD
HAVE BEEN THAT MUCH HIGHER WE
WOULD FUND IT AT ONE- AND THERE
WOULD HAVE BEEN THAT LOST
RELATIVES TO AMOUNTS OF THE WAS
THE MAIN MAJOR IMPETUS BETWEEN
RESTORING ORIGINAL MODEL
PAYMENTS ARE MEANT TO RESTORE
THAT TWELVE POINT FOUR BILLION
OVER A PERIOD OF SEVERAL YEARS.
NOW AS- MY COLLEAGUE CAN THAT
THE L. A. L. MENTIONED. IN PART
WITH. BOX INCLUDED DIFFERENT IS
NO LONGER A NAY TOLD POINT FOUR
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY A CALL. NINE
THREE THREE. AND SO AT THE-
BACK WAS THE MAIN- THINKING
ABOUT BEHIND. US REMOVING A
COUPLE NAY PAYMENTS ALTOGETHER
THANK ARE NOW BACK ON A
TRAJECTORY MUCH MORE SO. TO IT
NOT BY THAN. WHAT WE HAD US- I
THINK BUDGET. OF TWENTY TWO
ONE. THE COMPANY PANDEMIC AND
ALL THE ASSOCIATED. ASSUMPTIONS
THAT WERE MADE AFTER THAT
ADDITIONALLY. I MENTIONED AS
WELL THERE IS EIGHT POINT ONE
BILLION DOLLARS IN. EXTRA
BATTLE THAT'S GOING TO BE GOOD-
GOING BACK TO. K. FOURTEEN
SCHOOLS AND PROBABLY 8485% OF
THAT WILL GO DIRECTLY TO K.
TWELVE SCHOOLS I JUST ON THE
BASIS THAT THE MOMENT- AND NOT.
LARA DISCRETIONARY FUND FOR
THEM THEY ARE SO BUT WAS THAT
ALL OF EVERYTHING I MENTIONED
AND THEN WITH THE FACT THAT
DOLLARS THE BEFORE ONE BILLION-
AND ALL THE COMPUTER PARTY
WITHIN THE BY. AT LARGE- THAT.
WHAT MADE THE MOST FOR US THE
MAYOR VISION HEARING WHICH ALSO.
ALLOWED DO DIRECT- TRULY
UNPRECEDENTED OF RESOURCES FOR
K. TWELVE SCHOOLS AS THEY
NAVIGATE BOTH FIVE RESPONDED
PANDEMIC AND ALSO OF COURSE
JUST. RISING FIXED COSTS THAT
ARE A PART BECAUSE THE DOING
BUSINESS THAT THEY HAVE ON. ON
WHAT BASIS. THANK YOU BUT BUT
THE AGAIN THERE'S NO. THAT THE
SET THAT THE THAT THE
TRAJECTORY WE ARE ON WILL
EXCEED THE SUPPLEMENT PAYMENTS
THAT OCCUR. WELL I BELIEVE WE
ARE ALREADY BACK. WELL YEAH
THAT'S CORRECT IF WE IF THE
REGULAR ON. MAY OR MAY NOT NEED
IF WE WOULD HAVE OTHERWISE
APPLIED THE PROBLEM ON A
PAYMENT IN EACH YEAR ON TOP WO
POINT SIX BILLION GROWING TO
WHATEVER IT WOULD WORK OUT TO
BE NOT YEAH BUT- THAT FACTOR.
THANK YOU. BOB WITH REGARD TO
THE COLD IT'S GOOD I'VE I'D
LIKE A LITTLE BIT HIGHER MAYBE.
TWO APPLIED OF TO MORE PROGRAMS
TO TOOK TO THE OTHER CREDIT TO
OTHER CATEGORICAL- I MEAN FOR A
LONG LIST YOU'RE SO EXCUSE ME
FROM. TAKING TO FIND MY
THOUGHTS HERE- WITH REGARD TO
REOPEN SCHOOLS MORE MONEY FOR
RE OPENING SCHOOLS TO SCHOOLS
NEED REALLY NEED MORE MONEY TO
RE OPEN. WE GAVE THEM A
CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT ALREADY TO
REOPEN. AND IF THEY DIDN'T TAKE
IT THEY DIDN'T REOPEN SO THEY
WOULD NEED THE MONEY SO WHAT
WOULD THEY NEED MORE MONEY FOR
NOW. PROBABLY FOR THE
DEPARTMENT FINANCE. HIS DESK
HOMES DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE.
THE VISION INCLUDES THE TWO
BILLION DOLLARS FOR IN PERSON
INSTRUCTION AND HEALTH AND
SAFETY GRANTS ON TO AUGMENT
WHAT HAS ALREADY BEEN PROVIDED
SO AB EIGHTY SIX INCLUDED- TWO
BILLION DOLLARS FOR THOSE
ELEAZAR THAT OPENED IN THE
CURRENT YEAR- CAN AND IS
AVAILABLE INTO THE INTO THE
BUDGET YEAR BUT WAS REALLY MADE
AVAILABLE TO COVER THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH THINGS THAT
COULD BE TESTING IN THE CURRENT
YEAR. SO THESE ADDITIONAL FUNDS
WHICH ARE AVAILABLE TO ALL AND
LIAISE ON THE BASIS THAT THE
PROPORTION OF LCF BATH- ARE
AVAILABLE ACROSS THE STATE AND
ALI IT'S FOR WORK IN PERSON
INSTRUCTION IN THE IN THE
BUDGET YEAR STILL A LITTLE BIT
DIFFERENT THAN WHAT WAS AB
EIGHTY SIX. AND REST TO THE-
THE SIGNIFICANT ADDITIONAL
FEDERAL FUNDS THE ELEAZAR- ARE
RECEIVING FROM THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT. AND THOSE ARE GOING
OUT ON THE BASIS OF TITLE ONCE
OR NOT- CONSISTENTLY AVAILABLE
TO ALL AREAS ACROSS THE STATE.
I THINK THAT THAT POLICY
CONCERN HERE IS THAT WE WANT TO
MAKE SURE IN ENCOURAGING
FAMILIES TO RETURN TO IN PERSON
INSTRUCTION- THAT THEY FEEL
LIKE THEIR SCHOOLS ARE.
PROPERLY RESOURCE TO PROVIDE
THAT INSTRUCTION AND HOW
HEALTHY AND SAFE MANNER. OKAY-
COMMONWEALTH I HOPE WE'RE
TRACKING HE EXPENDITURES OF
THOSE DOLLARS ARE WE ALREADY
DOLED OUT OF BEEN EXPENDED. SO
WE'RE NOT JUST ADDING ON MORE
MONEY WHAT IT MIGHT. AND I
DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THIS
MIGHT NOT IN FACT BE NEEDED
YOUR MONITORING THAT ASPECT I
ASSUME. CORRECT SO SPECIFICALLY
WITH THE FEDERAL FUNDS THERE IS
A FEDERAL THERE'S A MONITORING
REQUIREMENT. OF EXPENDITURES
FOR THE FEDERAL FUNDS- IN
REGARDS TO THE STATE FUNDS THAT
WE'RE PROPOSING TO PUT OUT- AND
THAT ALLOWABLE EXPENDITURES TO
BE CAUGHT- THROUGH THE AUDIT
PROCESS. PROPELLERS ALLOWABLE
EXPENDITURES THOSE TRACKING THE
DOLLARS SPENT. AYE AYE YOU YOU
EXPLAIN THAT THE FEDERAL
GOVERNMENT IS TRACKING THE
DOLLARS THAT IS A STATE TO.
TRACKING THE DOLLARS IT HAS
SPENT FOR BERMAN SPENT RE
OPENING. SO THE FEDERAL DOLLARS
THAT ARE AVAILABLE FOR RE
OPENING- HAVE RECALL HAVE AS
TRACKING REQUIREMENTS ATTACHED
TO THEM THAT THE STATE IS-
ADMINISTERING SO THE DEPARTMENT
OF EDUCATION HAS BEEN WORKING
ON THE FEDERAL TRACKING
REQUIREMENTS- IN TERMS OF THE
STATE FUNDING THAT'S AVAILABLE-
I WOULD DEFER. FOR THE EIGHTY
SIX BUT THEY WERE DIFFERENT
STP- AND- IN TERMS OF WHAT
KINDS OF TRACKING THEY'RE
DOING. I DON'T BELIEVE THAT WE
INCLUDED IN THAT LANGUAGE- A
SPECIFIC MECHANISM AROUND
TRACKING THE EXPENDITURES FOR
THOSE FUNDS BEYOND WHAT WOULD
NORMALLY BE CAPTURED AND- FOR
EXAMPLE ON THE STOCK SYSTEM.
THE KICK IN THE REAR I AM IS
BECAUSE MAYBE. THEY DON'T NEED
THE MONEY AND THE MONEY COULD
BE PUT TO A- SOME OTHER USED TO
CD HAVE A COMMENT ON THAT. I'M
SORRY AT. A SOMEONE CAN YOU
SHARE YOUR QUESTION AGAIN I'M
NOT THESE. I'M SORRY WHAT THE
QUESTION AGAIN. YES PLEASE OKAY
YOUR QUESTIONS ARE YOU TRACKING
THE FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN SENT
TO DISTRICT FOR REOPENING
SCHOOLS THERE'S A FEDERAL
REQUIREMENT THAT WE TRACK THE
FEDERAL DOLLARS BUT EVERY
TRACKING THE STATE DOLLARS THAT
HAVE GONE TO SCHOOLS RE OPENING
AND THE CONTEXT IS ASKING WHY
ARE WE GIVING SCHOOLS MORE
MONEY IF WE'RE NOT SURE IF THEY
EVEN NEEDED NOW THEY VERY WELL
MAY. I'M NOT SAYING THEY DON'T
AS MUCH THEM DO WE HAVE DATA
RELATIVE TO THIS. STILL V.
LEGISLATION AT THE EIGHTY
EIGHTY SIX LEGISLATION. ONLY
REQUIRED A FINAL REPORT WE ARE
NOT CURRENTLY TRACKING. ON HOW
THE SPENT THE HOW DOLLARS ARE
GOING OUT I WILL SAY THAT WE
ARE GETTING THEM OUT BUT- THOSE
ARE JUST NOW STARTING TO GET TO
THE SCHOOLS AND SO IT. WE DON'T
HAVE A GOOD SENSE OF. HOW
THEY'RE USING THEM AND WHAT
THEY'RE USING THEM FORM AND
OTHER THAN THE ALLOW POLICE
THAT'S- RIGHT THANK YOU MAYBE
THAT'S THE CONVERSATION WE HAVE
TO HAVE GOING FORWARD. OUR NEXT
QUESTION IS WITH REGARD
INDEPENDENT STUDIES. RIGHT NOW
INDEPENDENT STUDIES IS YOU KNOW
IT. AS I'VE COME TO UNDERSTAND
IS THE WILD WEST YOU CAN PRETTY
MUCH DO ANYTHING. AND PRETTY
MUCH DO NOTHING THERE'S FOR
EXAMPLE. IF A STUDENT IS
INDEPENDENT STUDY THERE'S NO
REQUIRED STUDENT TEACHER
CONTACT TIME. K. IS A LOT OF
OTHER THINGS THAT CAN HAPPEN
AND AN INDEPENDENT STUDY THEY
DON'T SERVE- THE ACADEMIC NEEDS
OF A CHILD WE REALLY NEED TO
CLEAN THAT UP I KNOW THERE'S
SOME LANGUAGE I BELIEVE IS
COMING OUT TODAY. I HAVEN'T
SEEN IT IT WAS COMING OUT OF
THE GUYS WERE WALKING INTO THE
ROOM MAYBE. SO MAYBE YOU COULD
SPEAK TO THAT A LITTLE BIT WHAT
WHAT DOES THE ADMINISTRATION
INTENDED. TO IT TO PROPOSED
WITH REGARD TO INDEPENDENT
STUDIES AND ESPECIALLY IN THE
AREAS OF CREDENTIALING. DOES
THE ADMINISTRATION AGREE THAT
TEACHERS SHOULD HAVE THE
APPROPRIATE CREDENTIALS. IF YOU
COULD MAYBE SPEAK TO THE
OVERALL- TOPIC OF INDEPENDENT
STUDIES SUGGEST- TOOK- PROPOSED
TRAILER LANGUAGE AND THE- THE
APPROPRIATE- CREDENTIALING AND
MAYBE ANYTHING ELSE YOU'RE
DOING THERE BECAUSE AGAIN. I
THINK WE'RE GOING TO AYE I KNOW
WE'RE GOING TO HAVE MORE
STUDENTS ON INDEPENDENT STUDY
THAN WE EVER HAVE NEXT YEAR. WE
CAN LIKE IT OR NOT LIKE IT'S
JUST A FACT THAT'S GOING TO
OCCUR. SO THE FACT IS WE NEED
TO MAKE SURE THOSE STUDENTS
THAT DO ON DO DO FALL UNDER THE
INDEPENDENT STUDIES UMBRELLA.
THERE IS- ACADEMIC
ACCOUNTABILITY. ON THE ON THE
THERE'S THAT KIND OF EARLY ON
THE ACADEMIC SIDE AND THE
FISCAL SIDE. SO COULD THE
ADMINISTRATION. SPEAK TO THE
PROPOSED LANGUAGE. CERTAINLY
AND JUST GO HOMES DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE- SO YOU ARE CORRECT AS
A MEMBER OF DONNELL AND THAT
LANGUAGE WAS RELEASED LAST
NIGHT SO MOST PEOPLE THOUGHT
THIS MORNING- THE
ADMINISTRATION IS PROPOSING TO
MAKE SOME CHANGES TO THE
INDEPENDENT STUDY LANGUAGE-
THAT ARE REALLY FOCUSED ON
PROVIDING AN OPTION FOR
FAMILIES- IN THE TWENTY ONE
TWENTY TWO SCHOOL YEAR FOR
DISTANCE LEARNING. HOWEVER
WANTED CABBIE OUT ALL OF THAT
AND KIND OF PROVIDE SOME
CONTEXT BY SAYING THAT WE ARE
PROPOSING THAT THE DEFAULT IS
IN PERSON FULL TIME IN PERSON
INSTRUCTION IN THE FALL- ELLIE
GAYS WILL ONLY HAVE THE SAME
TWO OPTIONS FOR BURNING AND
STATE APPORTIONMENT IN TWENTY
ONE TWENTY TWO AND THEY DID PRE
PANDEMIC. AND THAT IS THE MUST
OFFER ALL STUDENTS ACCESS TO A
FULL TIME IN PERSON INSTRUCTION
PROGRAM THEY CAN EARN A PORTION
OF THAT WAY AND THEN THEY CAN
CHOOSE TO OFFER INDEPENDENT
STUDY PROGRAM AND PARENTS CAN
OPT INTO THAT PROGRAM IF THEY
WISH. BUT ALL. THE IS CLEAR ALL
THE- WILL BE OFFERED. ACTS TO A
FULL TIME IN PERSON INSTRUCTION
PROGRAM IN THE FALL. SO THE
INDEPENDENT STUDY PIECE THAT IS
THE OPTIONAL I'M PROGRAM THE
LEDS CAN PROVIDE IN THAT
PARENTS CAN OPT INTO. IS BUILT
ON THE EXISTING INDEPENDENT
STUDY PROGRAM WE HAD SOME
STRONG CONCERNS ABOUT- THE
QUALITY OF SOME OF THE
INDEPENDENT THREE PROGRAMS THAT
WERE BEING. CONDUCTED A
MINISTER PRIOR TO COMMITTING
DURING COVE IT- IN A LOT OF
THEM HAVE TO DO I THINK WITH A
SIMILAR CONCERN. THAT YOU ALL
HAVE AROUND YOU KNOW THE IDEA
THAT UNDER THE OLD LAWS YOU
KNOW AT AT. AN EARLY AGE COULD
SEND A PACKET HOME WITH THE
STUDENTS AND- YOU KNOW THE
STUDENTS ACTUALLY IS TEACHING
THEMSELVES AND THEN COMING BACK
AND SWITCHING OUT PACKETS TWO
WEEKS LATER YOUTHAT THAT. IS
SOMETHING THAT WE'RE NOT
SUPPORT OF A- SO ARE PER. AND
IS. ON IT OF- IMPROVEMENTS TO
THE EXISTING PROGRAM. THE FIRST
EING THAT- FOR ANY STUDENT
THAT IS PARTICIPATING OPTING
INTO AN INDEPENDENT STUDY
PROGRAM LOCAL EDUCATIONAL
AGENCY WILL BE REQUIRED TO
PROVIDE THEM WITH THE DEVICE
THAT TECH THAT TECHNOLOGY
ESSENTIALLY DEVICE AND
CONNECTIVITY. ON TO PARTICIPATE
IN ONLINE INSTRUCTION- ANOTHER
KEY PIECE IN TERMS OF THE
STUDENT TEACHER ENGAGEMENT IS
THAT THE- TEACHER WILL BE
REQUIRED TO DO A DAILY CHECK
INS WITH A STUDENT TODAY TO
CHECK IN WITH THEM MAKE SURE
THEY'RE OKAY SEE IF THEY HAVE
ANY NEEDS OR CONCERNS. AND THEN
AT LEAST ONE DAY A WEEK
PROVIDES SYNCHRONOUS
INSTRUCTION WITH THAT STUDENT
SO THE IDEA OF BEING HERE THAT
AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK THAT THAT
THE TEACHER HAS TO PROVIDE A
LESSON TO THE INDEPENDENT STUDY
STUDENTS. ON THE LISTING CHRIS
MANNER- IN ADDITION WE HAVE
SOME. AROUND RE ENGAGEMENT
STRATEGIES FOR THIS IS SIMILAR
TO WHAT THE ADMINISTRATION THE
LEGISLATURE AGREED TO- WE PUT
TOGETHER SB NINETY EIGHT IN SB
TWENTY AROUND TO AGREEING GAUGE
AND STRATEGIES. ON BEING PUT IN
PLACE FOR STUDENTS WHO ARE NOT
ENGAGED ON FOR THREE DAYS AT
LEAST THREE DAYS- OR 60% OF
INSTRUCTIONAL TIME. HERE STILL
ENSURING THAT THOSE KIDS WHO
ARE NOT BEING SERVED WELL AND
IN THE AN INDEPENDENT STUDY
PROGRAM HAVE- SOMEONE REACHING
OUT TO THEM TO ENSURE THAT THEY
CAN RE ENGAGE IN THAT PROCESS.
SO THAT'S SORT OF A HIGH LEVEL
OVERVIEW OF THE CHANGES THAT WE
ARE PROPOSING- HAPPY TO ANSWER
ANY QUESTIONS HONOR. GREAT NOW
THANK THANK YOU FOR SHARING
THAT AND AGAIN I DON'T THINK IT
WAS MUCH QUITE FRANKLY THE
ADMINISTRATION'S PROPOSING IN
THIS TIME. TO REALLY BOLSTER
THAT PROGRAM ENSURE
ACCOUNTABILITY THERE NEEDS TO
BE GREATER AUDITING. I WOULD IN
A PERFECT WORLD I GRADUATE THE
FUNDING OF A STUDENTS AT SCHOOL
IS NOT IN A SCHOOL SETTING. THE
SCHOOL- THAT THE ALLEGATION NOT
GET FULL FUNDING FOR THAT
STUDENT- UNIVERSITY YOU KNOW
STEVE YOU'RE NOT NEVER THERE
ARE ONLY ONLINE WHITE WHITE WHY
WE SHOULD THEY RECEIVE FULL
EIGHTY AGE MAYBE MAYBE SEVENTY
PERCENT. IS THAT OF BRICKS AND
MORTAR AND ALL THE COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH BRICKS AND
MORTAR SHOULD BE A GRADUATED
FUNDING- A STREAM. AND AGAIN%
THE AUDITS ARE KEY AND
BOLSTERING THE ACADEMIC SIDE I
REALLY DON'T THINK WE'RE THERE
YET- YEAH I THINK IT IT'S GOING
TO BE PROBLEMATIC BECAUSE WE
ARE GOING TO HAVE MORE
CHILDREN- IT YET ENGAGING AN
INDEPENDENT STUDY- NEXT YEAR
BUT THAT'S- THE TOP. AT THE
PART OF THE ONE OF THE TOP OF
THE HEARING THIS HEARING BUT
NOT THE ONLY TOPIC. BUT AGAIN-
WITH REGARD TO- IT INDEPENDENT
STUDY NOW WE HAVE AS COMPANIES
COMING INTO SCHOOL DISTRICTS.
IN OFFERING TO HANDLE THEIR
ONLINE LEARNING FOR THEM. AND
THAT- PRESENTS A COUPLE
QUESTIONS AB FIVE ALONE. AB
FIVE VIOLATIONS. SO I HOPE THE
ADMINISTRATION IS WILLING TO
ENGAGE IN CONVERSATIONS. TO
ENSURE THAT- I INDEPENDENT
STUDY IS. IS BOLSTERED AND
APPROPRIATE AND LEGAL- SO WHAT
WE'LL HAVE THOSE CONVERSATIONS
GOING FORWARD- SO LET ME SWITCH
TO A DIFFERENT QUESTION HERE US
PROBABLY AGAIN FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE WITH
REGARD TO THE RE BENCHING A
PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT IS
THERE IS THERE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE YET ON THE RE BENCHING
OF PROPOSITION NINETY EIGHT IS
IT A TREE BENCHING. AND WHAT
WITH THE GUARANTEE BE THAT IT
ACTUALLY IS A REINVENTION AND
THAT THOSE THAT DID REMAINS
FUNDED IN THE OUT YEARS
ESPECIALLY IF WE'RE GOING TO
ADD A GRADE LEVEL THE PEOPLE
LEADER STANDIFER ADDING T. K.
WHAT WE'RE DOING IS WE'RE
ADDING A GRADE LEVEL WE DON'T
WANT TO JUST ADD A GRADE LEVEL
TO AN EXISTING BUCKET OF
DOLLARS WE WANT TO GROW THAT.
BUCKET OF DOLLARS AS WE GROW
THE STUDENTS THAT WERE ADDING
INTO THAT POCKET SO AGAIN THE
QUESTION IS WHAT IT WHAT ONE OF
THEMECHANICS REINVENTION
PROPOSITION. NINETY EIGHT IS
THERE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE YET
FOR THAT. OF COURSE. THE OTHER
PERMANENT FINANCE AGAIN I'LL
ANSWER THAT QUESTION ACTUALLY.
I THINK YOU DESCRIBED IT QUITE
TO THE ASSEMBLY MEMBER THAT.
THE INTENT WITH EVERY BATCH IT
TO BE ABLE TO GROW THE POT OF
FUNDING IN THE CASE UNDER OUT
THE ATTACK WITH THE FEET WITH
THIS INCREASE OF ADA. AND NOT
JUST CROWD OUT FUNDING. FOR
OTHER PROGRAMS BECAUSE OF
INCREASED ABOUT THE ABOUT WITH
HIM. PROBABLY NINETY EIGHT- IF
WE IF WE DIDN'T TAKE THAT
APPROACH SO. AT THE MOMENT.
BECAUSE BE ADDITIONAL ADA NOT
THAT TO. BE ROLE THEN UNTIL
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE. LPF
PERCEIVED THE CONTINUOUS OF
CORPORATION. OF THE APPROACH AT
THE MOMENT IS THAT WE WOULD.
OVER APPROPRIATE- THE
GUARANTEED MOST LIKELY BY
WHATEVER. AMOUNT OF ADDITIONAL
FUNDING WE ESTIMATE. WILL BE
INTRODUCED ASSOCIATED WITH THAT
INCREASE THEN CAN. TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN EIGHTY EIGHT.
TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE- AND
THEN ONE. FULL IMPLEMENTATION
IS ACHIEVED AFTER THE NEXT
THREE YEARS FROM THERE- WE
WOULD LOOK AT EXACTLY WHAT
WOULD MAKE THE MOST SENSE
WHETHER IT'S AN ONGOING TEST
ONE PERCENTAGE REBOUNDS OR OR
SOME OTHER MECHANISM ASSUMING
WE- WOULD STILL BE AN ATTACHED
ONE AT THAT TIME- WE WOULD LOOK
AT THAT. DOWN BUT CURRENTLY
UNDER THE- TRAILER BILL AS-
DRAFTED THE MOMENT THERE IS NOT
JUST A BIG LANGUAGE TO THAT
EFFECT. RIGHT- THANK YOU I.
WITH REGARD TO THE EXTENT OF
THE HOW THOSE- DAHLE DIFFERENT
THAN THE FOUR POINT SIX BILLION.
WE ALREADY PROVIDED FOR
LEARNING LOS. CARLOS DOLLARS
DIFFERENT WHAT EXTENDED
LEARNING VERSUS LEARNING LOSSES
OF THE SAME THING THAT MORE
MONEY FOR THE SAME PURPOSE.
PROBABLY FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF
FINANCE. APARTMENT OF FINANCE
SO THE FOUR POINT SIX BILLION-
WAS GEARED TOWARDS EXPANDING
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES WHICH
INCLUDED EXTENDING
INSTRUCTIONAL TIME ACCELERATING
PROGRESS TO CLOSE ANY GAPS AND
INTEGRATED SUPPORTS- THERE MAY
BE SOME OVERLAP WITH THE LEVEL
USES RELATED TO TUTORING AND
LEARNING RECOVERY PROGRAMS BUT
A. B. B. SIX WAS OUT A LITTLE
MORE BROAD TO ADDRESS IMMEDIATE
NEEDS ARRANGING RENTAL HEALTH
SUPPORTS TO COMMUNITY SUPPORT
CLUBS- ACCESS TO TECHNOLOGY-
THESE FARMS THE TWO POIT SIX
BILLION WITH SUPPLEMENTAL FOUR
POINT SIX BILLION INVESTMENT
FOR- GEARING TOWARDS INTENSIVE.
EACH MINUTE RESEARCH TESTED
INTERVENTIONS SUCH AS HIGH DOES
TUTORING AND IS INTENDED TO
SUPPORT LONGER TERM NEEDS OVER
THE NEXT THREE YEARS TO SUPPORT
TARGETED INTERVENTION AND RE
ENGAGEMENT- FOCUSING ON
STUDENTS FROM LOW INCOME
BACKGROUNDS ENGLISH LEARNERS
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES
ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO HAPPEN ON
THIS FORTUNATELY IMPACTED. BY
THE KIND OF. THANK YOU I THINK
WE NEED TO. ECN THAT EVERY
STUDENT HAS BEEN IMPACTED BY
THE PANDEMIC. AND EVERY STUDENT
HAS HAS NEEDS I MEAN THERE ARE
STUDENTS THAT HAVE
TRADITIONALLY GOTTEN- FOUR
POINT NO THAT ARE NOW TO THREE
POINT TWO. SO WE NEED TO
ADDRESS THE NEEDS OF THOSE
STUDENTS TO IT CAN'T BE JUST AT
THE HIGH SCHOOL LEVEL CREDIT
RECOVERY IT ALSO NEEDS TO BE
GPA RECOVERY SO I HELP OR
THINKING- BROADLY ON THIS AGAIN
BECAUSE THERE ARE MANY STUDENTS
WHO. WOULD HAVE DONE FINE BUT
FOR THE PANDEMIC THAT NOW ARE
NOT DOING SO FINE. AND THEIR
GPAS HAVE DROPPED ARE NOT GOING
TO GET ENOUGH CALLS THAT THEY
POTENTIALLY WOULD HAVE HAD THE
PANDEMIC. NOT HIT BUT WE NEED
TO THINK OF ALL STUDENTS. AND
CERTAINLY THERE ARE SOME THAT
ARE HURTING MORE THAN OTHERS
BUT- BUT BUT BUT MANY ARE
HURTING THAT WE MADE. THAT
MIGHT NT HAVE BEEN HURTING
YEAH- BUT FOR THE PANDEMICS ARE
OVERWORKED FOR THINKING BROADLY
ON IS. JUST ANOTHER A TOPIC A
CT. I MEAN IT'S TRAGIC THAT
THERE'S NO INCREASE IN CD
FUNDING- THERE'S A GREAT DEMAND
FOR THESE DOLLARS- THERE'S MORE
DEMAND THAN DOLLARS AND THIS
IS. ONE YEAR WE CAN TAKE CARE
OF THAT ADDRESS THAT ISSUE- ONE
OTHER ISSUE IS WITH PERSON
STIRS IS THERE AN INVESTMENT IN
PERSON STIRS. IT THE ON THE
MINIMUM IF YOU WILL- WHAT THE
WHAT IS TYPICALLY PUT INTO YOUR
PERSON STIRS AN ANNUAL BASIS.
THAT'S PROBABLY FOR THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE. I HAS
JUST GONE TO PARTNER FINANCE SO
BE- THE EMPLOYER SHARE OF COST
FOR SCHOOLS- PER PERSON SCARES
IS STILL RECEIVING AND THE ONE
TIME BENEFIT PROVIDED ON THE
TWENTY NINETEEN BUDGET ACT THAT
PROVIDED RESOURCES TO PAY DOWN
THE RATES IN TWENTY TWENTY. AND
THEN 202-020-2020 ONE AND
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO- BUT WE
ARE NOT PROPOSING ADDITIONAL
PAYMENTS INTO PERSON SERVICE ON
BEHALF. OF- SCHOOL EMPLOYERS.
OKAY I THINK YOU ARE WE ARE
STATE WHY ARE WE ARE WE PUTTING
MORE MONEY INTO PERSON SIR SO I
PULLED I THOUGHT WE WERE. FOR
UHHUH. I BELIEVE. GOD THIRTY.
I'M SORRY ASSEMBLY MEMBER OF
THE HOW CAN TO FIND WITH THE
GENTLEST OFFICE SO- WE'RE NOT
MAKING ANY ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS
LIKE WE HAVE IN PREVIOUS YEARS
BUT BOTH THE STATE CONTRIBUTION
RATE IN THE DISTRICT
CONTRIBUTION RATE IS GOING UP.
OVER TIME AND HAS BEEN GOING
UP- SO THOSE ARE INCREASES
LIKELY RELATED TO PAYING DOWN
UNFUNDED LIABILITIES WE JUST
THINK THAT THERE'S AN
OPPORTUNITY WITH THIS- LARGE
AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT'S
AVAILABLE THIS YEAR TO
ACCELERATE THAT PROCESS AND
GAIN SOME ADDITIONAL SAVINGS.
OVER POTENTIALLY THE NEXT
COUPLE DECADES. THANK YOU TO ME
THE NEW BRAINER THE STATE WOULD
PUT MORE MONEY INTO THE SO. IN
PERSON STIRS. AND JUST ONE LAST
THING IS WITH REGARD TO PULLING
THE TRAILER BILL LANGUAGE ON
THE ADULTS IN CHARTER SCHOOLS-
A TO ME THAT'S JUST CRIMINAL
MAYBE EVEN LITERALLY- AND IT'S
UNFORTUNATE THAT WE'RE NOW
GOING TO OPEN- THIS MONEY THE
THAT THE- ADULTS. INTO THESE
PRO OR INTO INTO BASICALLY PROP
NINETY EIGHT PROGRAMS IN
CHARTER SCHOOLS IS ONLY GONNA
GROW. SO THEY'RE ONLY GOING TO
ADD JOB OUT- MONEY THAT WE USED
TO EDUCATE. PRE K. THROUGH
FOURTEEN STUDENTS AND I JUST
THINK THAT'S RATHER UNFORTUNATE
I GET THE POLITICS OF IT BUT I
THINK IT'S UNFORTUNATE WITH
THAT BACK TO YOU MISTER CHAIR.
THANK YOU. I THINK AS YOU NOTED
THERE'S SOME HIGH LEVEL ISSUES
THAT WE'RE SPENDING A LOT OF
OUR TIME ON BUT- THIS. PROPOSAL
HAS QUITE A FEW NEW THINGS AND-
YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE TO- PASSER
CONSTITUTIONAL DEADLINE BY THE
FIFTEENTH OF JUNE FOR THE
BUDGET BUT- SOME OF THESE
THINGS. YOU KNOW MAY WE MAY NOT
AGREE ON RIGHT AWAY AND FIGURE
OUT AND WE CERTAINLY HAVE THE
REST THIS SUMMER AS WELL SO
JUST. KEEP THAT AS WELL THE FOR
NOT TOTALLY COMFORTABLE YOU CAN
ALWAYS REVISIT SOME OF THESE
PIECES- SOME MEMBERS. ASSEMBLY
MEMBER GALLAGHER. YEAH I JUST-
RIGHT I THINK MY COLLEAGUE
BROUGHT UP SEVERAL I THINK WE
GET ISSUES THERE- TO BE
THINKING ABOUT AGAIN I'M GONNA
COME BACK TO. I REALLY THINK WE
NEED TO BE PUTTING OUR FOCUS ON
SHORING UP AND IMPROVING OUR
EXISTING SYSTEM. AND NOT
GETTING TOO CARRIED AWAY WITH A
LOT OF NEW PROGRAMMING- AND
I'LL SAY IT THIS WAY. ARE ALL
OF OUR SCHOOLS COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS. HEY LET'S JUST FOCUS
ON ALL OF OUR SCHOOLS INSTEAD
OF NOW WE'RE GONNA HAVE A
SPECIAL PROGRAM FOR SOME NEW.
COMMUNITY SCHOOLS- IDEA. AND A
COMMUNITY ADMINISTRATION- AND I
THINK IN ORDER TO DO THAT
THERE'S SEVERAL THINGS THAT
THAT THAT SHOULD BE REMEDIED
AND- IN OUR- BUDGET ONE OF THAT
I BROUGHT TO THE COMMITTEE
SEVERAL TIMES I REALLY HOPE WE
WORK ON IS A MINIMUM FUNDING
FOR RURAL SCHOOLS. THAT SAID
THERE IS A THERE'S VERY MUCH A
MISSING MIDDLE AND RURAL
SCHOOLS THEY GET THEY GET
HAMPERED AFFECTED YOU KNOW
DRASTICALLY BY LCF FORMULA WE
TALKED ABOUT DOING IT EARLIER
THIS YEAR AND EARLY ACTION. I
THINK THE SENATE HAD A PROPOSAL
FOR A MINIMUM I'M I REALLY HOPE
HEY WE HAVE THIS ADDITIONAL
MONEY LET'S LET'S TRY AND
REMEDY THAT- SPECIAL EDUCATION
YESTERDAY IN A CALL INCREASE
THAT'S GREAT. BUT JUST LAST
YEAR THE GOVERNOR WAS SAYING HE
HAD A THREE FOR A THREE YEAR
PHASE IN MULTI YEAR PROCESS TO
REALLY INVEST IN OUR SPECIAL
EDUCATION. AND THIS THIS
PROPOSAL AS MAY REVISE DOESN'T
GET US THERE IT'S BETWEEN WHEN
YOU COMPARE WHAT WE WERE
TALKING ABOUT DOING ITS A VERY
MINIMAL. INVESTMENT CERTAINLY
WE NEED TO GET SPECIAL
EDUCATION RIGHT THAT'S BEEN A
BIG FOCUS OF THIS COMMITTEE AND
I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE THE
SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENT BASED ON
THIS THREE YEAR PROGRAM THAT WE
WERE ALREADY TALKING ABOUT.
DOING CT GETTING NO CALL
INCREASE STILL IN THIS MERRY
VISES JUST COMPLETELY
RIDICULOUS WE KNOW THAT WE NEED
THESE PROGRAMS WE KNOW HOW
IMPORTANT. THEY ARE LET'S SHOW
THAT THEY'RE IMPORTANT. NOT BY
GIVING ZERO. AND ANY OF HILL
IT'S EVEN MORE CRAZY ABOUT
THAT. IS THE CASE THROUGH
TWELVE CT IS GETTING NO CALL
INCREASE. BUT THE SORRY THE
STRONG WORK FORCE PROGRAM AT
COMMUNITY COLLEGES IS GAINING A
CALL INCREASE Y. IT MAKES NO
SENSE AND WE HAVE TALKED BEFORE
ABOUT MAYBE NEED TO CONSOLIDATE
THESE ANYWAY AS- MY COLLEAGUE
FROM LONG BEACH IS TALKED
ABOUT. BUT IF THESE ARE A
PRIORITY THEN LET'S INVEST IN
THEM AND MAKE SURE THAT. WE
HAVE SUSTAINABLE- CONTINUOUS
AND EFFECTIVE FUNDING FOR THE
C. T. PROGRAMS. FOSTER YOUTH A
SIMILAR STORY- WE HAD THE L. A.
O. DO A REPORT. THEY CAME OUT
WITH IT- RECOMMEND IN THE NEAR
TERM GOLD ALLOCATING FUNDS
BASED ON A TWO TIER FOR MODEL.
ONE FOR ALL FOSTER YOUTH IN A
SECOND RATE FOR STUDENTS IN
SHORT TERM- RESIDENTIAL
THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS- BUT YET
IN THIS MAY REVISE THAT THE
FUNDING FOR OUT OF HOME CARE
PROGRAM THIS IS STILL CURRENTLY
FROZEN- SO WE NEED TO MAKE
CHANGES THERE AND ENSURE THAT
OUR FOSTER YOUTH. IN IN OUR
EXISTING EDUCATION SYSTEMS- ARE
BEING ADDRESSED SO I MEAN THOSE
WOULD BE THE POINTS THAT I
WOULD REALLY. FOCUS ON I THINK
AS A COMMITTEE WE SHOULD- TRY
REINFORCE IN THIS BUDGET
PROCESS THANK YOU MISTER
CHAIRMAN OKAY THANK YOU FOR. SO
THE NUMBER OF I. S. THANK YOU-
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY KEY POINTS
BROUGHT UP BY MY COLLEAGUES
TODAY- I REALLY WANT TO TOUCH
ON SPECIAL EDUCATION- THIS IS
A- GROUP OF STUDENTS- IN K.
THROUGH TWELVE- BUT- REALLY- K.
THROUGH TWELVE BECAUSE WE DO
SERVE TO KATE NOW- THAT. HAS
HAD A REALLY TOUGH YEAR AND I
KNOW ALL OF OUR STUDENTS HAVE A
TOUGH YEAR- BUT HAS IT HAS BEEN
PARTICULARLY STRENUOUS DOWN THE
REGRESSION THAT WE'VE SEEN WITH
SO MANY SPECIAL NEEDS STUDENTS-
IS SOMETHING THAT- WE'RE GONNA
BE. TRYING TO RECOVER FOR THE
NEXT YOU KNOW DECADE PLUS. ON
THE MAY REVISION REFLECTS A TWO
HUNDRED AND SEVENTY SEVEN POINT
SEVEN MILLION INCREASE AND
FEDERAL ID A- FUNDING AND A
FOUR. POINT ZERO FIVE COLA. FOR
ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTEEN POINT
SEVEN MILLION GENERAL FUND
WHICH IS AN IMPROVEMENT OVER
THE ONE POINT FIVE COLA
PROPOSED IN JANUARY. HOWEVER IT
WAS JUST LAST YEAR THAT THE
GOVERNOR PROPOSED A THREE PHASE
A MULTI YEAR PROCESS. TO
IMPROVE SPECIAL EDUCATION
FINANCE SERVICES AND STUDENT
OUTCOMES. THIS YEAR'S PROPOSAL
SEEMS LIKE A MINIMAL INVESTMENT
AND DOESN'T MOVE THAT EFFORT
FORWARD. THE MAY REVISION ALSO
INCLUDES MORE THAN A TWENTY
MILLION IN STATE OPERATIONS
SUPPORT. FOR THE CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION
PRIMARILY FOR TECHNICAL
ASSISTANCE- OF FIFTEEN MILLION
DISPUTE RESOLUTION THREE POINT
THREE MILLION AND SIX NEW
POSITIONS WERE COMPLIANT
CASELOAD AND MONITORING NEARLY
A MILLION DOLLARS FOR THAT.
THESE PROPOSALS SUGGEST AN
EMPHASIS ON IEP COMPLIANCE AND
MEETING THE LETTER OF THE LAW
RATHER THAN FOCUSING ON
MAXIMISING RESOURCES. TO SERVE
STUDENTS SO MY QUESTION IS
SPECIAL EDUCATION STUDENTS WERE
STRUGGLING BEFORE THIS PANDEMIC
AND THE SCHOOL CLOSURES HAVE
HAD A DISPROPORTIONATE IMPACT
ON ASK AT RISK STUDENTS. WHY
DOESN'T THE MAY REVISION
INCLUDE A BIGGER AND TARGETED
INVESTMENT DESERVES SPECIAL
EDUCATION STUDENTS AND WHY ARE
WE LOOKING AT EVEN POSSIBLY
INCREASING INCREASING THAT THAT
THE BASED ON FOR SPECIAL NEEDS
STUDENTS. ALEXANDER WITH THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE THANK YOU
FOR THE QUESTIONS- I REITERATE
THE INVESTMENT THAT YOU PARTY
OUTLINED- THAT ARE INCLUDED IN
THE MAY REVISION AND WE DO
CONTINUE TO EMPHASIZE THAT THE
MAY REVISION- PROVIDES A
SIGNIFICANT INCREASE FOR AND
STUDENTS WITH DISABILITIES NOT
ONLY AND SPECIAL EDUCATION
SPECIFIC INVESTMENTS WITH YOU
HIGHLIGHTED. BUT ALSO AND I'M
AND I'M A NUMBER OF OTHER
INVESTMENTS- THAT HAVE BEEN
GOING OUT BOTH STATE BOTH STATE
AND FEDERAL INVESTMENTS- AROUND
IN PERSON INSTRUCTION- AND
TARGETED INTERVENTION GRANTS
WHICH ARE IN THE BILLIONS OF
DOLLARS- AND ALSO SPECIFICALLY
CALL OUT AND STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES AS ONE OF THE-
GROUPS TO PRIORITIZE FUNDING
FOR. I'M IN IN IN RESPONSE TO
THE CONCERNS ABOUT THE- THAT
MULTI YEAR PLAN THAT WAS LAID
OUT LAST YEAR WE WOULD JUST
NOTE THAT- AS PART OF THAT PLAN
LAST YEAR THE GOVERNOR AND THE
GOVERNOR IN THE BUDGET DID IT
DIDN'T BEST AND SEVERAL WORK
pPROCESS AROUND AND SPECIAL
EDUCATION FUNDING REFORM IN
PROGRAMMATIC REFORM THAT IS
NEEDED AND THOSE WORKERS ARE
CURRENTLY ONGOING SEVERAL OF
THOSE WORKERS HAVE REPORTS THAT
BE. USED TO THE LEGISLATURE
INTO. OCTOBER OF NEXT YEAR AND
WE DO INTEND TO- WORKING TO
REVIEW THOSE FINDINGS IN
COLLABORATION WITH THE
LEGISLATURE TO MAKE SURE THAT
WE CONTINUE TO COLLABORATE IN
TERMS OF REFORMS THAT ARE
NEEDED GOING FORWARD- WE'RE
VERY MINDFUL AND INTENTIONAL-
AROUND NOT GETTING OUT- IN
FRONT OF THOSE EFFORTS AND
WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH
OUR PARTNERS ON FUNDING REFORMS
THAT ARE NEEDED- WITH REGARDS
TO THE OUT OF HOME CARE
FUNDING- I BELIEVE THERE. THERE
WAS ATTENTION CALL TO THE FACT
THAT WE ARE AND I'M FREEZING
THAT FUNDING FOR AN ADDITIONAL
WEEK THERE THAT'S ALSO IN
RECOGNITION OF THE FACT THAT
THE ONLY- RECENTLY CONVENED IN
OUT OF HOME CARE FUNDING WORK
GROUP- AND- PRIOR TO THE
RELEASE OF THE MAYOR VISION
THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH TIME FOR
FINANCE AND OF THE LEGISLATURE.
IN THE L. A. O. TO GET TOGETHER
TO CAN TO- DECIDE ON WHAT THE
BEST BEST PATH FOR. WAS COMING
OUT OF THAT WORK FOR. AND AGAIN
WE WANT TO GET OUT IN FRONT OF
THAT. RECOGNIZING THAT THERE
HAS A GREAT DEAL CLASS. AROUND
ACTUALLY OR- ACT THIS POINT.
AND ONE YOU TO. WE WOULD. AN
UPDATE ON THE EUROPE EFFORT.
AGAIN I THINK THE REPORTS FROM
THE WORK THAT ARE COMING OUT IN
OCTOBER OF THIS NEXT YEAR WILL
GUIDE A LOT OF FACT EFFORT- WE
DO ANTICIPATE THAT THE THAT THE
NEXT YEAR'S BUDGET AND BECAUSE
WE WILL HAVE THOSE REPORTS AND-
BE FORMED LARGELY BY THOSE
WORKERS CONVERSATION THAT HAVE
BEEN OCCURRING. GREAT YOU. YEAH
YEAH MORE OKAY. OKAY THANK YOU
SO MEMBER TEAM. THANK YOU FOR
OUR FIRST LET ME JUST- THANK
ARCHIE FOR ALL HIS. ON THE
LEADERSHIP ON THE T. K. ISSUE I
THINK THIS IS A- GREAT- AND
HISTORIC OPPORTUNITY TO.
FINALLY ARE CORRECT I THINK
WHAT'S BEEN A FAIRLY LARGE AND
JUSTICE 275% OF OUR CHILDREN IN
THE STATE THAT. WE HAVE 25% OF
OUR CHILDREN ARE GETTING AN
EXTRA YEAR OF EDUCATION 75% NOT
GETTING AND I THINK THIS IS A-
HUGE STEP IN REALLY CORRECTING
THAT AND I. JUST WANT TO
COMMEND OUR OUR CHAIR FOR ALL
OF HIS HIS GREAT LEADERSHIP ON
THIS PARTICULAR ISSUE AS WELL
AS- I THANK THE GOVERNOR FOR
PUTTING IT IN HIS. MAY REVISE I
DID WANT TO GO BACK TO SOME
LIGHT ON COLLEAGUES QUESTIONS-
FROM LONG BEACH- PERHAPS MISS
HOME COULD COME BACK ON. AND WE
COULD TALK ABOUT THE REAL
OPENING DOLLARS I MEAN IF AB
EIGHTY SIX- GOT SCHOOLS- FOUR
BILLION DOLLARS TO HELP THEM RE
OPEN AS AN INCENTIVE- TWELVE
BILLION DOLLARS INCLUDING-
FEDERAL AID- TO HELP WITH.
LEARNING RECOVERY- IT'S NOT
CLEAR THAT ON TOP OF THAT
POTENTIAL SIXTEEN. BILLION
DOLLARS PLUS ADDITIONAL FEDERAL
RESOURCES ARE COMING OUT WHY
THEY WOULD NEED SOME MORE
MONEY- TO BE OPEN ESPECIALLY
WHEN OUR COVERT RATES ARE- AT
AS LOW A RATE AS A WORST MARCH
OF LAST OF LAST YEAR- THE CDC-
HOUSE HAS GONE TO A THREE FOOT
INSTEAD OF A SIX FOOT DISTANCE
AND- I ANTICIPATE BY THE FALL
YOU KNOW KNOCK ON WOOD. THAT WE
WILL BE PRETTY CLOSE TO NORMAL
SO JUST TRYING TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT. WHAT YOUR HEARING FROM
DISTRICTS THAT THEY WOULD
ACTUALLY. NEED TO SPEND THIS
MONEY ON. CERTAINLY ASSEMBLY
MEMBER TEAM AND DISCOMS
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE SO JUST
IN TERMS OF ALL CANCER BOTH
THOSE QUESTIONS- IN TWO PARTS
THE FIRST PART IS REGARDING THE
FUNDING THAT'S BEEN PROVIDED TO
ELEAZAR. WHO HAS BEEN PROVIDED
TO WOULD HAVE BEEN PROVIDED FOR
SO AS YOU AS YOU WELL KNOW AB
EIGHTY SIX- PROVIDED SIX POINT
SIX BILLION OF WHICH TWO
BILLION WAS AVAILABLE FOR IN
PERSON INSTRUCTION GRANTS TO
HELP ADDRESS HEALTH AND SAFETY
AND NEED THE VALLEY IT'S AN
OPENING. OR IN PERSON
INSTRUCTION IN THE CURRENT YEAR
THE FUNDS WERE ALSO AVAILABLE
TO THE EXTENT THAT ANYWHERE
REMAINING ON IN THE BUDGET
YEARS FILED. AN ADDITIONAL FOUR
POINT SIX BILLION WAS ON
PROPOSED FOR EXPANDING AN
INSTRUCTIONAL TIME. AS WELL AS
PROVIDING ACADEMIC
INTERVENTIONS SO IN TERMS OF
THE TWO BILLION. THAT WE'RE
PROPOSING IN THIS BUDGET-
THAT'S IT'S A LITTLE MORE CLOSE
ALIGN WITH THE- BILLION CORRECT
THAT WAS BY. THROUGH AB EIGHTY
SIX AS OPPOSED TO THE FOUR
POINT SIX BILLION THAT WAS
PROVIDED FOR EXPANDING LEARNING
TIME. ON ACADEMIC
INTERVENTIONS. SO THAT FUNDING
THE TWO BILLION AB EIGHTY SIX
AGAIN WAS AVAILABLE FOR THE
CURRENT YEAR- AND THEN AGAIN AT
CAN CARRY OVER INTO THE BUDGET
YEAR AS WELL. AND THAT WAS
REALLY INTENDED TO HELP COVER
THE COSTS OF OPENING IN THE
CURRENT YAR- GIVEN THAT THE
YOU KNOW I'VE AS YOU RECALL YOU
KNOW PRIOR TO YOU WHERE WE ARE
NOW. AND THAT THE MUCH MORE
STRICT REQUIREMENTS ON THINGS
LIKE TESTING- AND CLEANING
STANDARDS AND SOCIAL DISTANCING-
THIS TO BUILD. ISRAELI FOLK ON
THE BUDGET YEAR. AND IN TERMS
OF. AND PROVIDING RESOURCES TO
ALL LEDS SO- YOU ALSO REFERRED
TO THE BILLIONS OF DOLLARS THAT
HAVE GONE OUT ON A FEDERAL
FUNDS AND THOSE ARE REALLY
GOING FOCUSED ON TITLE ONE.
DOESN'T ALLOCATED BASED ON
TITLE ONE ENROLLMENT- SO THAT
THE MAJORITY OF FUNDS HAVE GONE
TO CERTAIN ALLEYS AND NOT
OTHERS- AND THE TWO BILLION
THAT WE'RE PROPOSING WOULD BE
SPREAD OUT MORE. EVENLY ACROSS
THE STATE FOR ALL LEDS-
ADDITION- IN TERMS OF THE NEED
FOR THESE FUNDS IN THE BUDGET
YEAR- WE DO RECOGNIZE THAT
THERE ARE GOING TO BE- THEY'RE
GONNA BE REQUIREMENTS RUN
HEALTH AND SAFETY AND SIMPLY
GIVEN THE FACT THAT FOR MANY
CHILDREN. ON THERE'S NOT
CURRENTLY A VACCINE AVAILABLE-
AND WE KNOW THAT THAT THIS WILL
CREATE SOME CONCERN AMONG MANY
PARENTS ON WHETHER OR NOT TO
SEND THEIR CHILDREN BACK FOR IN
PERSON INSTRUCTION. WE WANNA
MAKE SURE THAT SCHOOLS HAVE THE
RESOURCES THEY NEED TO BE
PROVIDING- THE KINDS OF HEALTH
AND SAFETY- PROTOCOLS AND THAT
HELP PARENTS FEEL COMFORTABLE
SENDING THEIR KIDS BACK TO
SCHOOL. IN ADDITION- THERE IS A
LIKELIHOOD THAT THERE WILL BE A
VACCINE- FOR YOUNGER CHILDREN
AS WE MOVE THROUGH YOU KNOW HE
COMING YEAR AND TO THE EXTENT
THAT ELEAZAR WANT TO FIND-
TAXATION CLINICS OR AND
CONTINUE TO DO TESTING UP UP UP
UP UNTIL THAT POINT. ON THE
SONS OF THE ALLOWABLE THE BIT
THAT WOULD BE ALLOWABLE USE FOR
THESE FUNDS AS WELL SO THEY'RE
INTENDED TO BUILD UPON THE
FUNDS THAT HAVE BEEN PREVIOUSLY
PROVIDED THEIR INTENDED TO
COVER THE NEEDS OF THE BUDGET
YEAR AND THEY'RE INTENDED TO BE
PROVIDED TO A BROADER. SWATH.
OF ALLEYS ACROSS THE STATE. DO
YOU HAVE FROM REGARD THE TO
MORE THAT WAS A PER. BUT THEY
BE AT LEAST DO YOU- KNOW HOW.
OF A HAS BEEN. AND ON WHAT. SO
THOSE FUNDS COULD BE USED TO
COVER COSTS THE LEDS INCURRED-
PRIOR TO THIS WE CAN AS LONG AS
HOLDEN I'M NOT ASKING WHAT THE
ALLOWABLE USES FOR NOT NOT FOR
THE TWO BILLION IN YOUR MAYBE
VICE PULLS OF THE TWO BILLION
THAT WE ALREADY APPROPRIATED
THREE B. EIGHTY SIX. YOU KNOW
HOW MUCH OF THAT HAS BEEN.
SPENT AND ON WHAT. SO THE FIRST
ALLOCATION OF THOSE FUNDS WAS-
I BELIEVE IT HAS JUST BEEN MADE
THE FIRST ALLOCATION WITH
INTENDED TO GO OUT IN MAY. OF
THIS YEAR AND THE WITH THE
FOLLOW UP TO GO OUT IN AUGUST
BECAUSE THAT WAS DEPENDENT UPON
SCHOOLS RE OPENING FOR IN
PERSON INSTRUCTION. SO WE DON'T
HAVE DATA YET ON WHAT THOSE
EXPENDITURES WERE. HOWEVER WE
DID PROVIDE ELEAZAR WITH THEIR-
TOTAL GRANT AWARD AMOUNT. AND
DID TELL THEM THAT THEY COULD
USE THOSE FUNDS. TO REIMBURSE
THEMSELVES FOR COSTS INCURRED
PRIOR TO THE RECEIPT OF THOSE
PLANS. SO WE WILL KNOW- AFTER
THAT THOSE FUNDS WILL GO OUT
HOW THEY WERE EXPENDED BUT IT
MAY BE THAT THEY'RE ALREADY
IDENTIFIED- INTACT. FOR
EXPENDITURES THAT HAVE ALREADY
HAPPENED. GOT IT WILL ALSO.
HOME WHAT WHAT WE DIDN'T
DISCUSS WITH THE FIVE BILLION
THAT WAS ALREADY APPROPRIATED
PREVIOUSLY. IN THIS YEAR'S
BUDGET. THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE
USED FOR RE OPENING- THE
MAJORITY OF IT WAS USED FOR
DISTANCE LEARNING SO THAT.
ELLIE IS HAD THAT CHOICE FOR
THE FIVE BILLION. TO SPEND IT
AND I WAS THE LEGISLATURE THAT
WITHOUR INSTRUCTION THE
GOVERNOR'S DESTRUCTION
LEGISLATURE DESTRUCTION TO.
SPEND IT ON- THE OPENING TO THE
GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE BUT-
SOMETHING THAT THEY DIDN'T DO
VERY WELL SO I GUESS- FOR ME I
WOULD AGREE WITH MY COLLEAGUE
FROM PALM BEACH OF THE TWO
BILLION DOLLARS IS GOING OUT
AND MAY. END IN AUGUST AND WE
DON'T EVEN KNOW. IF THEY HAVE
SPENT IT OR EVEN NEEDED IT
SEEMS- PREMATURE. TO DO ANOTHER
TWO BILLION ON TOP OF THAT.
WHEN IT'S NOT EVEN CLEAR THAT
THEY EVEN NEED THE TWO BILLION
ESPECIALLY. WILL BE GIVEN THE
FIVE BILLION FOR RE OPENING
WHICH WE HAD HOPED WOULD BE
USED FOR MASS AND PLEXIGLASS
AND SPACING- ONLY 10% OF IT WAS
USED FOR THOSE TYPES OF ITEMS
AND SO I THINK. THAT- TO ME THE
TWO BILLION COULD BETTER BETTER
USED ELSEWHERE. I WANTED TO GO
INTO. ON JUST JUST OF WHAT WHAT
ALSO JUST GOING TO INDEPENDENT
STUDY AS WELL I THINK IT'S
IMPORTANT MY COLLEAGUES ON THE
QUESTION IS THERE A REASON WHY
WE DON'T WANT THE GUY- THE
ADMINISTRATION DID NOT PROPOSE
A CAP ON. THE NUMBER OF
STUDENTS USING INDEPENDENT
STUDY. YES SO- WE DIDN'T
PROPOSED A CAP UNDERSTANDING
THAT IN SYDNEY TO THE EXTENT
THE PARENTS FROM WOULD LIKE THE
CHOICE TO HAVE THEIR CHILDREN
BE IN DISTANCE LEARNING AGAIN
NEXT YEAR. THAT THEY WOULD HAVE
THE OPTION NOT BE LIMITED AND
BYE BYE A NUMBER AN ARBITRARY
PERSON AT THE STATELEVEL. SO
IF A SCHOOL WANTED TO ENROLL
90% OF ITS STUDENTS AND
INDEPENDENT SAY THAT WOULD BE
OKAY. W. ALLOWABLE I'M EIGHT I
WANNA- JUST. MAKE SURE I'M
UNDERSTANDING YOUR QUESTION
CLEARLY SO- THERE'S A
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A PARENT
CHOICE AND A SCHOOL I HAVE. A
REFER THAT QUESTION SO IF 90%
OF PARENTS IN A PARTICULAR
SCHOOL WANTED TO ENROLL IN
DISTANCE LEARNING THEIR WOULD
BE ALLOWED TO AN END
INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. THAT'S
CORRECT AND BACK END THE
ADMINISTRATION BE OKAY WITHOUT.
YES WE ARE SUPPORTIVE PARENT
CHOICE AND IN TERMS OF THE
TWENTY ONE TWENTY TWO SCHOOL
YEAR AND WHETHER OR NOT PARENTS
FEEL COMFORTABLE BRINGING THEIR
KIDS BACK TO IN PERSON
INSTRUCTION THIS IS A CELL I AM
NOW I WOULD JUST SAY THAT I
THINK THAT THAT WOULD BE ON-
PRETTY CATASTROPHIC MISTAKE-
THAT. KNOWING HOW MUCH LEARNING
LOSS WE'VE HAD THIS YEAR-
KNOWING THAT AT THIS POINT
THERE'S NOTHING ABOUT. NEEDING
CREDENTIALED TEACHERS. FOR THIS
INDEPENDENT STUDY- WITHOUT
FURTHER TIGHTENING THIS I THINK
IT WOULD BE ON. IT WOULD NOT BE
VERY GOOD POLICY GIVEN WHAT WE
HAVE WITNESSED AYE I KNOW THAT
THIS TIME LAST YEAR WE DEBATED
DISTANCE LEARNING AND I THINK
GIVEN WHAT WE KNEW LAST YEAR TO
GET WILL BE NEW LAST YEAR AS WE
WERE IN. IN A MONTH TO OF THE
PANDEMIC THAT WE ACTUALLY KNOW
VERY LITTLE ABOUT AND WE HAD
HOPED THAT GIVING FROM
DISTRICTS THE FLEXIBILITY TO
DISTANCE LEARN BUT ALSO TO
BRING THE CHILDREN BACK WOULD
WOULD WORK. CLEARLY IT DID NOT
I DISTRICTS- DEMONSTRATED A
VERY- INABILITY TO SHUT DOWN
BUT THEY DID NOT DEMONSTRATE
ANY ALMOST NO ABILITY. TO OVER
80% OF CHILDREN REMAIN NOT
FULLY BACK IN SCHOOL EVEN AT A
TIME WHEN A COVERT RATES AGAIN
R. AS LAW WAS WHEN WE SHUT DOWN
IN MARCH. ALSO IN TERMS OF
INDEPENDENT STUDY I THINK IT'S
VERY CONCERNING THAT THERE IS
NOT DALY AND ASYNCHRONOUS
LEARNING WITH A CREDENTIAL
TEACHER I THINK THAT- NOT
HAVING- ANY PARTICULAR LANGUAGE
ASTO- WHAT WILL HAPPEN-HILL
CAN THAT PARTICULAR SETTING I
THINK- WE DON'T DEFINE THAT IN
GREATER DETAIL I THINK WE WILL
DEFINITELY. LIVE TO REGRET THIS
NEXT YEAR HEN WE'RE HAVING
THIS HEARING GOING INTO NEXT
YEAR'S ME REVISED. I'M JUST IN
ADDITION I THINK IT IS
IMPORTANT THAT- WE HAD HOPED-
THAT DISTRICTS WOULD FOLLOW OUR
INSTRUCTION TO HAVE IN PERSON
LEARNING TO THE GREATEST EXTENT
POSSIBLE- ALMOST EVERY DISTRICT
DEMONSTRATED AN ABILITY TO DO
THAT I THINK- MY OWN. DISTRICT
HAS BECOME THE POSTER CHILD OF
HOW NOT TO DO THIS. ON AND I
THINK IT IS IMPORTANT THAT WE
HAVE A TRIGGER ON HOW TO RE
OPEN IF IN FACT WE DO HAVE SOME
DISTRICTS THAT HAVE AN
OUTBREAK. OF BECAUSE IT SEEMS
THAT IF THERE IS AN OUTBREAK
DISTRICTS WILL PROBABLY THE BE
ALLOWED TO SHUT DOWN A WILL
NEED TO SHUT DOWN. BUT I THINK
WE NEED TO. FIGURE OUT WHAT
TYPE O TRIGGER WILL BRING THEM
BACK HI I FEAR THAT ONCE
DISTRICTS ARE SHUT DOWN BECAUSE
OF AN OUTBREAK THAT THEY WILL
NOT COME BACK AND I THINK THAT
IS A VERY. SIGNIFICANT
CONCERNS- JUST I WOULD JUST
LIKE TO HEAR A COMMENT. ABOUT
HAVING A TRIP. OR WHAT- WHAT DO
YOU THINK WE CAN DO TO BRING
DISTRICTS BACK SHOULD THERE BE.
AN OUTBREAK OF ONCE THEY OPEN
UP OPEN BACK UP IN THE FALL.
CERTAINLY AND JUST TO PROVIDE
SOME CLARIFYING AND CONTEXT TO
YOUR INITIAL REMARKS- WE ARE
NOT PROPOSING TO OFFER LEAST
THE OPTION. OF EITHER AN IN
PERSON INSTRUCTION OR DISTANCE
LEARNING. WE ARE PROPOSING THAT
IN THE FALL I LIAISE WILL BE
REQUIRED AS A DEFAULT TO
PROVIDE IN PERSON INSTRUCTION
FULL TIME TO EVERY SINGLE
STUDENT- WHAT WE ARE PROPOSING
IS SIMPLY THAT WE ALLOW THE
INDEPENDENT STUDY MODEL- THAT
EXISTED BEFORE KOBE TO CONTINUE
TO EXIST. POST CODE ED BUT WITH
IMPROVEMENTS AROUND QUALITY AND
WE ARE NOT SUGGESTING THAT I'M
CREDENTIALED TEACHERS BE ABLE
O TEACH THESE PROGRAMS-
THEY'RE REQUIRED TO HAVE
CREDENTIALS IN ORDER TO TEACH
AN INDEPENDENT STUDY- AND WE
ARE REQUIRING OUR LANGUAGE THAT
JUST WAS RELEASED THIS MORNING
DOES REQUIRE. I'M DAILY
INTERACTION AND AT LEAST ONE
DAY A WEEK OF SYNCHRONOUS
INSTRUCTION BETWEEN ON TEACHERS
AND STUDENTS- INDEPENDENT STUDY
SO JUST WANTED TO PROVIDE THAT
CONTACTS. INSURANCE AS THE
QUESTION THAT YOU HAD AROUND
PROVIDING A TRIGGER. FOR VALUES
THAT MAY EXPERIENCE OUTBREAKS
AND HAVING. A PLAN IN PLACE FOR
THEM TO COME BACK WE'RE HAPPY
TO WORK WITH YOUR STAFF SHOULD
TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THAT
CONCEPT. I'M INTO CONSIDERATION
AS WE MOVE. TOWARDS THE CLOSING
OUT THE BUDGET. THANK I BELIEVE
THAT. I THINK THE- ARE COMMENTS
REGARDING RE OPENING IN THE
PAUL HAVE BEEN CRYSTAL CLEAR
AND I REALLY DO COMMEND HIM. ON
HIS ADVOCACY HIS VERY VERY
CLEAR LANGUAGE AND I APPRECIATE
YOU FOR REITERATING THAT SO- I
WOULD JUST SAY THAT I MYSELF
COMPLETELY AGREE- THAT. SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AND FOR ALL THE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS LISTENING AND
FOR ALL THE ASSOCIATIONS
LISTING I THINK EVERY DISTRICT
NEEDS TO BE PREPARED TO RETURN
TO NORMAL. IN THE FALL BE BACK
AT SCHOOL FIVE DAYS A WEEK IN
PERSON I THINK WHAT'S VERY
CRITICAL IS I REALLY APPRECIATE
THE ONE BILLION DOLLARS FOR
AFTER SCHOOL BECAUSE I BECAUSE-
THERE'S BEEN TALK ABOUT
FAMILIES NOT GOING BACK I THINK
A NUMBER OF FAMILIES. ARE GOING
BACK BECAUSE THERE'S NO AFTER
SCHOOL PROGRAM RIGHT NOW. YOU
CAN'T. IF YOU KNOW IF YOUR
WORKING FAMILY YOU CAN'T PICK
UP YOUR CHILD AT ONE THIRTY
UNLESS YOU HAVE EXTENDED FAMILY
OR SOME OTHER. CARE GIVING
OPTIONS SO HAVING. SCHOOL OPEN
IN THE FALL IS NOT ENOUGH IT'S
HAVING SCHOOL AND- BEFORE AND
AFTER SCHOOL OPEN UP WITH THAT
SO WE GO BACK TO THAT MODEL. IS
ACTUALLY CRITICAL I REALLY
APPRECIATE THAT INVESTMENT IN
THAT PROGRAM IN THIS BUDGET I
DO REALLY WANT TO SAY THAT. I'M
LET ME JUST LEAVE IT
INDEPENDENT STUDY I UNDERSTAND.
WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS HOMES ARE
I WORRY THAT INDEPENDENT STUDY
WILL BE ABUSED THE WAY DISTANCE
LEARNING HAS BEEN ABUSED. AND
IF WE DON'T CLOSE THE LOOPHOLE
WE WILL REGRET. SELL I
UNDERSTAND WE NEED TO PASS A
BUDGET ON JUNE FIFTEENTH WITH
NOT WHICH NOT ONLY ARE REFLECTS
THIS ERA OF WHAT THE GOVERNOR
SAYING. BUT THAT THE LETTER OF
THE LAW REFLECTS BUT THE
GOVERNOR HE SAID. AND IF WE
REALLY WANT CHILDREN TO BE BACK
IN SCHOOL. IN THE FALL THAT
INDEPENDENT STUDY LOOPHOLE
HOUSE TO BE CLOSED. IT HAS TO
BE CLOSED IN A WAY TO MAKE A
LEGITIMATE HAS TO BE CLOSED IN
A WAY THAT WE ARE FULLY
CONFIDENT THAT EVERY STUDENT
WHO IS PURSUING THAT PATH IS
GOING TO GET AS GOOD AN
EDUCATION AS THOSE WHO ARE IN
THE CLASSROOM. SO I THINK THAT
IS WHAT WE SHOULD BE STRIVING
FOR AND I THINK THAT- WE VERY
MUCH LOOK FORWARD TO ONGOING
DISCUSSIONS TO ENSURE THAT WE
ARE ABLE TO ACHIEVE- NOT JUST A
GOAL IN SPIRIT. BUT THEIR GOAL
IN LIFE THANK YOU. OKAY THANK
YOU. SOME OF OUR BY THAT S. AND
TWO QUICK ONE QUICK COMMENTS
AND THEN- ONE POINT OF
CLARIFICATION- I WOULD AGREE
WITH MY COLLEAGUES THAT THE TWO
BILLION DOLLARS THAT WHAT I'M
HEARING FROM MY SCHOOL
DISTRICTS AS THEY HAVE A LOT OF
MONEY AND- THEY HAD ONE OF MY
SUPERINTENDENCIA WE ACTUALLY
DON'T NEED MORE MONEY I'M BUT
WHAT THEY NEED IS FLEXIBILITY
IN ORDER TO SPEND AND MOVE
AROUND CURRENT DOLLARS THAT
THEY DO HAVE SO I THINK WE
SHOULD REALLY BE CONSIDERING.
AN OLD EIGHT GIVING THEM NOT
FLEXIBILITY AND IS IT AN AND
JULIE IF WE'RE GOING TO GIVE
THEM AN ADDITIONAL TWO BILLION
DOLLARS MAKE SURE THAT THAT
MONEY CAN BE SPENT FLEXIBILITY
FLEXIBILITY BECAUSE THEY HAVE
P. TO DISTRICT IS DIFFERENT
EACH COMMUNITY HAS ITS OWN
NEEDS THAT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
ALLOW THEM TO DETERMINE WHERE
THESE FUNDS GO THAT ARE GONNA
BE MOST BENEFICIAL TO STUDENTS
ON. SECOND VACATION AMBLE FOR
OF ALL I'M REALLY EXCITED
ABOUT. AND T. K. I KNOW OUR
CHAMPION HERE OUR CHAIRMAN
MCCARTY- HAS BEEN- REALLY AN
ADVOCATE FOR EXPANDING T. K.
FOR ALL FOUR YEAR OLDS AND-
HAPPY TO BE AN AUTHOR ON ON THE
BILL- THAT IS NOW. IN THE
SENATE THAT WE'RE GOING TO GET
THROUGH- ON ONE OF MY CONCERNS-
IS WORK WITH THIS DECREASE IN
ENROLLMENT THAT WE'VE SEEN AND
T. K. AND KINDERGARTEN BECAUSE
OF THE PANDEMIC. SO I JUST
WANTED CLARIFICATION. ON WHEN.
BECAUSE WE ARE BECAUSE THE-
DEPARTMENT MINISTRATION. IT THE
IS PROPOSES TO REPURPOSE THE
TWO HUNDRED FIFTY MILLION IN
JANUARY BUDGET- UTK INCENTIVE
FUNDING TO AN ALLOCATION TO ALL
ELEAZAR BASED ON KINDERGARTEN
ENROLLMENT WHAT YEAR
KINDERGARTEN OPEN ROMAN ARE WE
USING I JUST WANNA MAKE SURE
THAT OUR OUR NUMBERS ARE GOING
TO BE OFF- I AM SO UPSET
BECAUSE IT'S REALLY IMPORTANT
THAT WE START. ON THIS NEW
PHASE STRONG SO AND IS ANOTHER
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE- AND TALK
TO THAT. A LITTLE BIT.
CERTAINLY I WE ARE PROPOSING
THAT AN ALLOCATION OF FUNDS.
THAT THE KINDERGARTEN
ENROLLMENT NUMBERS FROM
NINETEEN TWENTY ARGUES-
UNDERSTANDING THAT IN TWENTY
TWENTY ONE WE HAD QUITE AND
PRODUCTION AND THE NUMBER OF
KINDERGARTEN STUDENTS. ON
EDUCATE STUDENTS ATTENDING
SCHOOL- AND SO KNOWING THAT
THOSE NUMBERS MAY NOT BE
INDICATIVE OF THAT HAVE BEEN
NORMAL HERE. AND WE ARE
PROPOSING TO USE THE. NINETEEN
TWENTY NINE- EIGHTY EIGHT.
GREAT AND WHAT'S- I AM GETTING
YOU KNOW SOME QUESTIONS FROM
SOME CONCERNED PROVIDERS- THAT
CURRENTLY PROVIDE A PRESCHOOL
FOR FOUR YEAR OLDS- BECAUSE WE
HAVE WE DO HAVE A MIX DELIVERY
SYSTEM. THAT RELIES ON PRIVATE
NONPROFIT- WHAT. ONE OF MY
CONCERNS IS THAT WE MAKE SURE
THAT WE'RE NOT LEAVING THEM OUT
AND I UNDERSTAND THIS IS PROP
NINETY EIGHT FUNDING- BUT I
WANT TO JUST MAKE SURE THAT
THIS ROLLOUT GOES AS SMOOTHLY
AS POSSIBLE. AND NOT OUR
PROVIDERS KNOW THAT WE'RE NOT
LEAVING THEM BEHIND BOND THAT
WE ARE HOPEFUL THAT WE WILL SEE
AND- AND EXPANSION AND WE KNOW
WITH A HUNDRED THOUSAND- SLOTS-
PROPOSED ON THAT MORE THREE
YEAR OLDS WILL WILL BE SERVED-
EIGHT. I'M AB I DON'T KNOW IF
ANYONE CAN SPEAK TO THE ON THE
PANEL- COOPER PERFECT FOR MIXED
DELIVERY PROVIDERS. CERTAINLY
SO WE DEFINITELY UNDERSTAND
THAT THERE IS CONCERN IN THE
EARLY EDUCATION COMMUNITY
AROUND THE MOVEMENT THE
POTENTIAL MOVEMENT OF A
SIGNIFICANT NUMBER FOUR YEAR
OLDS AND TO THE T. CASE SYSTEM-
WE RECOGNIZE THAT. SYDNEY AND
PARENTS STILL SHOULD HAVE A
CHOICE AND SO WE ARE NOT
PROPOSING TO DISALLOW FOUR YEAR
OLDS FROM PARTICIPATING- IN A
PRESCHOOL PROGRAM IF THAT'S
THEIR PARENTS CHOICE- BUT WE
ARE ALSO LOOKING AT WAYS AND WE
ANTICIPATE HAVING A PROPOSAL
THE TWENTY TWO TWENTY THREE
BUDGET ACT TO THIS EFFECT. WE
ANTICIPATE TAKING THE FUNDS
THAT ARE CURRENTLY ALLOCATE
DISTINCT PRESCHOOL AND THINKING
THROUGH THAT PROGRAM AGAIN TO
MAKE IT MORE APPROPRIATE TO
SERVE YOUNGER CHILDREN-
RECOGNIZING THAT WILL NEED TO
DO SOME THINKING AROUND THE
RATES- GIVEN THAT RATIOS CAN
BE- MORE RESTRICTIVE FOR
SERVING INTERNATIONAL TREND.
BUT ALSO UNDERSTAND IT'S
IMPORTANT FOR THREE YEAR OLDS
TO ALSO HAVE. ADDITIONAL YEAR
OF. EDUCATION AND PLAY BASED NO
DEVELOPMENTALLY APPROPRIATE AND
ACCESS TO LOOK AT CARE- PRIOR
TO ENTERING TKA AS IT IS FOR
FOUR YEAR OLDS TO HAVE A YEAR
AS OF CARE QUALITY INSTRUCTION
PRIOR TO ENTERING KINDERGARTEN
SO THAT IS THE IDEAS THAT. ARE
MOVING FORWARD WILL WILL
RETHINK THE FUNDING AND THE
PROGRAMS FOR STATE PRESCHOOL TO
HELP THOSE PROVIDERS- SERVE
YOUNGER CHILDREN INTERCEDING ON
REIMBURSEMENT. APPROPRIATE TO
THAT SERVICE. THANK YOU. OKAY
THANK YOU AYE AYE I WANNA TALK
ABOUT THEM I KNOW THIS AGENDA
ITEM IS ALL ENCOMPASSING WE
COULD HAVE HAD FIFTY CHEN ITEMS
BUT IT'S THAT'S JUST A PROP
NINETY EIGHT PACKAGE SO I DO
HAVE SOME- ISSUES AND QUESTIONS
ON ON SCHOOLS AND T. K. BUT ALL
THE ALL THE START RIGHT WHERE
YOU LEFT OFF ON T. K. THIS IS A
BIG TOPIC WE'RE GOING TO HEAR
FROM THE PUBLIC IN A LITTLE
BIT- CERTAINLY I'M NOT
SURPRISED THAT HE WOULD PUT
HERE THAT I'M ALL IN ON THIS
WITH THE GOVERNOR'S PROPOSING
WE'VE BEEN TRYING TO ACCOMPLISH
THIS BURKE. FOR MANY YEARS HAS
BEEN- COUNTLESS ASSEMBLY
MEMBERS AND SENATORS AND TRIED
TO MAKE UNIVERSAL PRE K.
REALITY IN CALIFORNIA AND I
HAVE A LIST OF THEM SO MAKE
SURE WE RECOGNIZE THEM BECAUSE
SO MANY PEOPLE WORKED ON THIS
OVER THE YEARS- BUT I GUESS THE
BIG PICTURE I WANT TO SAY IS
THAT AND IN ADDITION TO BEING
ALL IN ON THIS A MAKING A
REALITY THAT I DO UNDERSTAND
THAT CHANGE IS HARD. AND THAT
SOMETIMES- AB SAYING THE ORDER
OF THINGS YEAH- CHANGERS A LOT
OF UNCERTAINTY ON THAT ON THE
POSITIVENESS OF THE IT AND FOR
PEOPLE THAT ARE NOT FOR THE
CHANGE RIGHT AWAY THERE IS 100%
CERTAINTY THAT IT'S GOING TO BE
DETRIMENTAL AND SO WE ARE
COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT
THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN- WE WANTED
TO FOCUS ON MAKING SURE THAT NO
ONE IS LEFT BEHIND NOT ONLY
KIDS AND FAMILIES ACROSS
CALIFORNIANS BUT PROVIDERS AND
WE TRULY THINK AS
ASSEMBLYMEMBER REYES SAID AT
HALF HOUR AGO THAT THERE'S AN
OPPORTUNITY. FOR A WIN WIN WIN
WITH OUR EXISTING- MIXED
DELIVERY SYSTEM IN CALIFORNIA
AND JUST WHAT THE- THE
DEPARTMENT OF FINANCE JUST
NOTED THAT NOT PART OF THIS
BUDGET NOT PARDEE EXPANSION%
SLOTS THAT A NO NO NO WE'RE
COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE THAT
THEIR PROVIDERS OUT THERE
WHETHER THEY'RE CBO'S OR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS OR WHAT HAVE YOU
FAMILY FAMILY- CHILD CARE
PROVIDERS. THAT CURRENTLY SERVE
FOUR YEAR OLDS HAVE THE
OPPORTUNISTS ARE MORE ZERO
THREE THREE YEAR OLDS- WE
EITHER A MASSIVE. WAITING LISTS
WE HISTORICALLY THERE HAVEN'T
BEEN UP LOTS. FOR INFANTS
TODDLERS AND I HE- SOME
PROVIDERS SAY WELL THE MATH
DOESN'T. WORK DOESN'T PENCIL
OUT WELL I'M HERE TO STATE THAT
WITH MY- INSULTS MY IPAD PENCIL
RIGHT HERE BUT- WE'RE GOING TO
MAKE IT PENCIL OUT WHO WORK
WITH US IN THIS BUDGET. IN AB
TWENTY TWO. IN SB FIFTY CENT
EARLY AMOUNTS BILL AND AS
FINANCE SAID IN THE NEXT YEAR
TO MAKE SURE IT PENCILS OUT
BECAUSE WE HAVE THE
OPPORTUNITY. TO BE
TRANSFORMATIONAL HERE TO MAKE
SURE THAT ALL THE PROVIDERS OUT
THERE ARE WHOLE. NO ONE LOSES
THEIR JOB NO ONE LOSES THEIR
BUSINESS FRANKLY WE'RE GONNA
NEED MORE ECG WORKERS. WITH THE
EXPANSION NOT LAST SO I DON'T
SEE THAT HAPPENING. BUT EVEN
MORE MORE A TRANSFORMATIONAL
THE FACT THAT WILL BE ABLE TO
SEE SERVE MARKETS. IF YOU'RE A
LOWER LOW INCOME FAMILY AND-
THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA RURAL
CALIFORNIA SOME URBAN AREAS.
ANOMALY BUT HAD A UNIVERSAL FOR
FOUR YEAR OLD ACCESS BUT THREE
YEAR OLD ACCESS YOU JUST THINK
ABOUT. WHAT A DIFFERENCE IT'LL
MAKE FOR KINDERGARTEN READINESS
AS THE GOVERNOR SPOKE LAST WEEK
IN THE MAY REVISE ITS NOT. AN
ACHIEVEMENT GAP IT'S REALLY THE
OPPORTUNITY GAP AND SO IF SO
MANY OF OUR FAMILIES LIVE TWO
YEARS OF HIGH QUALITY YOU SEE
BEFORE THEY ENTER KINDERGARTEN-
THAT WILLIE WILL BE
TRANSFORMATIONAL AND- WE DO
UNDERSTAND THAT WE DO NEED TO
FOCUS ON. THE NEEDS OF FAMILIES
THAT'S WHY WE'RE COMMITTED TO
THE EXTENDING AFTER SCHOOL
PROGRAMS EXTENDING RAP.
PROGRAMS AT TEEKAY SITES- IF
FAMILIES WANTED TO HAVE THE-
THE HALF DAY PROGRAM- IN AND WE
ARE SAYING THAT T. K. AND K. WE
DON'T WANT PART DATE WE WANT
FULL DAY. K. PROGRAM SO WE'RE
GONNA MAKE SURE WE HAVE THAT AS
WELL- WE'RE ALSO GOING TO MAKE
SURE WE HAVE APPROPRIATE-
QUALITY ELEMENTS TO MAKE SHOULD
UNDERSTAND THAT. HAVING ONE
ADULTS HAND TWENTY SOMETHING
KIDS THIS IS A DISASTER FOR
EVERYBODY SO- THE GOVERNOR
HASN'T. PLAN EVEN MORE
AGGRESSIVE THE NEST. HAVING ONE
ADULT FOR IT FOR TEN KIDS IN
THE T. K. AND CAN OUR
CLASSROOMS OVER A NUMBER OF
YEARS SO. WE REALLY ARE MINDFUL
OF THIS- OF WHAT'S NEEDED TO
MAKE THIS WORK. AS WELL THIS IS
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN OVERNIGHT
SO WE HAVE MULTIPLE YEARS TO
PHASES SENT TO WORK ON THE WORK
FORCE WORKING FACILITIES. BUT
ALSO ALLOW OUR PROVIDERS AND
CENTERS OUT THERE. TO WORK WITH
US AND THEN I LAST THE AS I
SAID IN THE LAST PANEL. NONE OF
THIS WORKS UNLESS WE HAVE
ADEQUATE- REIMBURSEMENT RATES
IN A FEE STRUCTURE. TO PAY
THESE PROGRAMS TO MAKE SURE
THAT CANCEL OUT SO- WERE 100%
COMMITTED TO THAT- DID JUST
AGAIN YOU KNOW- WE'RE COMMITTED
TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH OUR
PROVIDERS AND CHILD CARE FIELD
ACROSS CALIFORNIA. TO
UNDERSTAND HOW THIS CAN CAN BE
A WIN WIN WIN FOR ALL OF US.
AND SO- WITH THAT- I THINK
THAT'S ANOTHER STATE ON ON THAT
ISSUE I WILL SAY ON THE OVERALL
PROBABLY INDIAN SCHOOL AT 100%
CONCUR WITH BUT- OUR EDUCATION
CHAIR MISTER O'DONNELL. TALKED
ABOUT AS WELL AS OUR BUDGET
SHARES RETAIN. OUR SCHOOLS ARE
RETURNING THIS THIS FALL NO
DOUBT ABOUT IT QUIT ASKING
ABOUT IF AND WHAT AND WHEN PER
COMING BACK. UNLESS THERE'S
SOME NEW VARIANTS ARE CRAZY
SOMETHING HAPPENS DIFFERENT AND
THEN WE'LL WE'LL WE'LL ADAPT
ADAPT TO THAT- I DO THINK THAT
WE SHOULD. TIGHTEN UP THESE
INDEPENDENT STUDY IN A VIRTUAL
ACADEMY TYPE THINGS BUT THEY'RE
HAPPENING ANYWAY THESE ARE OF
THIS IS BIG ARTICLE IN OUR
LOCAL NEWSPAPER HERE TWO WEEKS
AGO. BUT THESE ARE HAPPENING
BEFORE. THE PANDEMICS OF SCHOOL
DISTRICTS CAN DO THESE ANYWAY
SO I DON'T SEE THERE AND THE
NEED. TO DO SOMETHING TOTALLY
DIFFERENT WE HAVE THE EXISTING
STRUCTURE TO DO THIS CURRENTLY.
AND IF WE NEED TO ADJUST THAT.
WE CERTAINLY. CAN AND- I WILL.
I'LL STOP THEIR EXYNOS GETTING
LAID THE CAUCUS TIME WE HAVE

MORNING MISTER TURNER MEMBERS
MICHAEL PEREZ WITH THE ILLEGAL
I WILL PROVIDING OUR BRIEF
COMMENT THE PROPOSAL ARE
GETTING HIGH POVERTY SCHOOLS IN
THE DISTRICT MY COLLEAGUE AMY
WE WILL PROVIDE OUR COMMENTS ON
EDUCATOR TYPE AND PROPOSALS.
ALTHOUGH TO INCREASE THE
CONCENTRATION GRANT TO PRODUCE
LITTLE TO STUDENT RATIOS. THE
PROPOSAL IS REASONABLE AND
CONSISTENT WITH THE INTENT OF
BOTH EFFECTIVE. AT PROVIDING
ADDITIONAL FUNDING TO DISTRICTS
WITH HIGHER PROPORTIONS LOW
INCOME STUDENTS FOSTER YOUTH IN
ENGLISH LEARNERS. HELPCENTER
DISTRICTS CAN INCREASE OR
IMPROVE SERVICES. THAT SUPPORT
STUDENT LEARNING AND WELL BEING.
THE PROPOSAL ALSO GIVES THE
CREDIBILITY TO DECIDE HOW TO.
ADDRESS VESTED THROUGH NEEDS-
NEXT FOR THE EXPANDED LEARNING
GRANT PROPOSAL WITHIN THE
LEGISLATURE COULD SHOULD
CONSIDER THE TRADE OFFS OF
RESTRICTING THE INCREASE
FUNDING FOR EXPANDED LEARNING.
ACCESS TO SUMMER AND AFTER
SCHOOL PROGRAMS CAN PROVIDE
STUDENTS WITH ADDITIONAL
OPPORTUNITIES FOR ENGAGING
ACTIVITIES OUTSIDE OF THE
SCHOOL DAY AND PROVIDE ADULT
SUPERVISION FOR CHILDREN WITH
PARENTS WORKING TRADITIONAL
HOURS. ALTERNATIVELY THE
LEGISLATURE COULD CONSIDER
PROVIDING FUNDING TO ROUGHLY A
FIFTH BUT GIVING DISTRICTS
LOOKS ABILITY TO SPEND FUNDS
ACTIVITIES THAT THEY THINK WILL
BEST INTERESTED STUDENTS AND
YOUTH WHICH COULD INCLUDE
SUMMER AND AFTER SCHOOL PROGRAM.
OF THE LEGISLATURE COULD ALSO
TARGET FUNDING TO OTHER
ACTIVITIES THAT WILL BENEFIT
STUDENTS WITH THE GREATEST
NEEDS. SUCH AS A THING OF THE
SCHOOL YEAR PROVIDING INTENSIVE
TUTORING OR OTHERS TO SUPPORT.
OUR LAST WEEK PER THE COMMUNITY
SCHOOL CARE PROPOSAL WE THINK
THE CHANGES MADE TO IMPROVE ON
THE JANUARY PROPOSAL. WE
RECOMMEND ADOPTING THE
MODIFICATIONS THE TRAILER BILL
LANGUAGE PARTICULARLY THE
CHANGES IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE
PROGRAM THAT ENSURES FUNDING IS
PRIORITIZE FOR CREATING NEW
PROGRAMS. OF THE LANGUAGE
AROUND- PROVIDING MORE
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAMS
EVEN SETTING UP A REGIONAL
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE CENTER.
AND BE A MUCH MORE OF A CLEAR
EXPECTATIONS THAT ARE SET FOR
THE SUPPORT THAT SCHOOL WHO
RECEIVE- THE MEMBER VISION
PROPOSED THE- INCREASE AND
FUNDING FOR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS.
THE LEGISLATURE MAY WANT TO
CONSIDER PROVIDING SMALLER
AMOUNT OF FUNDING INITIALLY BY
ADDING FUNDING IN FUTURE YEARS
THAT THE MANDATE HIGH- THAT
CONCLUDES MY PORTION OF OUR
REMARKS FINISHED WITH THREE ON
NOT PASSED ON TO MY COLLEAGUES
IN THE- GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS
A NEARLY WHAT THE ALEJO. I WILL
BE COVERING THE EDUCATOR
SUPPORT IN PIPELINE PROPOSALS-
I'LL KEEP MY COMMENTS BRIEF BUT
FOR REFERENCE THESE COMMENTS
CAN BE FOUND ON THE LAST PAGE
OF THE ALLEY OVER YOU CAN'T
OUT. SO WE HAVE THREE
OVERARCHING POINTS FOR THE
LEGISLATURE TO CONSIDER. FIRST
WE THINK THAT THE CAPACITY FOR
NEW OR EXPANDED PROGRAMS WILL
LIKELY BE LIMITED IMMEDIATELY
POST PANDEMIC. SO THE ME
REVISED PROPOSES NUMEROUS NEW
AND EXPANDED EDUCATOR WORKFORCE
INITIATIVES WHICH REQUIRE
ADDITIONAL CAPACITY TO
IMPLEMENT. GIVEN THE LIKELIHOOD
OF BURNOUT AND FATIGUE AMONGST
MANY SCHOOL STAFF SCHOOLS MAY
BE UNABLE TO IMPLEMENT OR TAKE
FULL ADVANTAGE OF THESE
INITIATIVES IMMEDIATELY. IN
RESPONSE THE LEGISLATURE MAY
WANT TO CONSIDER FOCUSING ON A
FEW IMMEDIATE PRIORITY IS TO
HELP STUDENTS AND STAFF RECOVER
FROM THE IMPACTS OF THE
PANDEMIC. AND EITHER REJECTING
PROPOSALS FOR EXTENDING
SPENDING DEADLINES FOR OTHER
PROGRAMS. SO WE NOT THE EDUCATE
TRAINING. OVERLAP WITH THE USES
FOR FEDERAL FUNDING SCHOOLS
HAVE RECEIVED SIGNIFICANT
POSSIBLE FEDERAL FUNDS- FROM
THE RECENT RELIEF PACKAGES
WHICH CAN BE USED FOR
ACTIVITIES INCLUDING
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT. THE
LEGISLATURE ME JUST WANT TO
CONSIDER HOW THE EDUCATOR
TRAINING- PROPOSALS COULD BE
BEST COMPLEMENTING THESE
FEDERAL FUNDS. LASTLY RECOMMEND
THE LEGISLATURE REQUIRE
CONSIDER REQUIRING CLEAR
DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTATIONS
FOR THE EDUCATOR TRAINING
PROPOSALS SEVERAL OF THE MAY
REVISION PROPOSALS INCLUDE FEW
DETAILS ON THE DELIVERABLES
EXPECTED ACTIVITIES TO BE
FUNDED SOME PROPOSALS DO NOT
INCLUDE SPECIFIC TYPES OF
ACTIVITIES TO BE FUNDED WITH
ADDITIONAL FUNDING. OR LACK
ROUTINE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
FOR THE LEGISLATURE WE THINK
IT'S AYE WISHING A CLEAR SET OF
DELIVERABLES AND EXPECTATIONS
FOR THESE PROPOSALS WOULD HELP
ENSURE THAT FUNDS ARE SPENT AS
INTENDED AND ACHIEVE THAT
DESIRED OUTCOMES. WITH THAT
I'LL CONCLUDE MY TESTIMONY BUT
HAPPY ANSWER QUESTIONS OF THE
PERFECT TIME THANK YOU. GREAT
THANK YOU DO WE HAVE ANY OTHER
PRESENTERS. NO NO THAT IS IT SO
WHAT ARE WE GOING TO QUESTIONS
FROM THE COMMITTEE RIGHT NOW.
THAT'S ME- SO MAYBE SOME
QUESTIONS IN JUST A COMMENT-
APPRECIATE THE- THE ADULT TO
STUDENT RATIOS CONVERSATION-
LISTEN IF THERE'S ONE WHITE
BEST WAY TO RETAIN TEACHERS AND
HELP OUR KIDS. IS TO LOWER
CLASS SIZES CALIFORNIA I
BELIEVE STILL HAS A LARGE CLASS
SIZES IN THE NATION- FOR MANY
YEARS I TAUGHT EIGHTH GRADE
WITH THIRTY EIGHT EIGHTH
GRADERS IN THE CLASSROOM AND
THAT JUST IS. THAT'S TOUGH IT'S
TOUGH ON THE KIDS IT'S TOUGH ON
THE TEACHER. AND IT JUST YOU
KNOW WE CAN DO BETTER. I SEE A
LOT OF MONEY IN HERE FOR A LOT
OF THINGS WE CAN EVEN THOUGH
THE ONE THE ONE KEY THING WE DO
AND ALSO EXERCISE IS TO LOWER.
CLASS SIZES- BECAUSE IT'S BOTH-
YOU KNOW PROVEN QUANTITATIVELY
QUANTITATIVELY AND
QUALITATIVELY THAT IT. IMPROVES
A CHILD'S EXPERIENCE AND THEN
ALSO HAVING- TWO CHILDREN ONE
WENT THROUGH CLASS SIZE
REDUCTION IN K. THREE. WHEN
THEY DID NOT I THINK I SAID I
BELIEVE I SEE A DIFFERENCE EVEN
TODAY AND THAT. SO I APPRECIATE
LEASE OF YOUR KNOWLEDGE OF
THAT. AND THAT'S SOMETHING WE
NEED TO HAVE A CONVERSATION
GOING FORWARD ABOUT BECAUSE
THAT THAT IS A REALLY BIG DEAL.
A FOM MY PERSPECTIVE. I JUST
REGARD WITH REGARD TO THE
EDUCATOR AND SUPPORT PIPELINE
THREE POINT THREE BILLION
DOLLARS. THAT'S A LOT OF MONEY
THAT'S LIKE TONS OF MONEY LIKE
PROBABLY TOO MUCH MONEY- BUT-
THAT'S JUST MY PERSPECTIVE-
AGAIN I APPRECIATE ALL OF THE
LIST HERE- SEEMS SO YOU KNOW
THAT THEY THINK WE NEED TO
THINK ABOUT GOING BACK TO THE
NATIONAL BIRD SAID. THE BOARD
CERTIFIED TEACHER THING. AND
WHAT THAT REALLY DOES- IS THERE
DATA THAT. TELLS US THAT'S A
GREAT IDEA THAT'S A
CONVERSATION WE DON'T HAVE TO
HAVE RIGHT NOW. BUT I KNOW WE-
WE PROMOTED THAT ABOUT WEALTH
PRIDE ABOUT TWENTY TWENTY FIVE
YEARS NOW WHEN THAT FIRST CAME
ON THE SCENE AND- WE JUST NEED
TO HAVE CONVERSATIONS WHETHER
OR NOT THAT'S THE BEST PASSED.
THE GO DOWN- WITH THAT I'M
GONNA TURN IT BACK TO THE
CHAIR- CHAIR MCCARTY WILL TAKE
IT BACK. THANK YOU THINK OF
YOUR PRESENTATIONS. OKAY THANK
YOU- I HAVE. A COUPLE QUESTIONS
ON THE ON THE COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
SO. THE DEPARTMENT OF A FROM
THE FINANCE WITH THE WHO THE
ONCE YOU GET YOUR. AMBER
ALEXANDER'S HERE AND I CAN FEEL
QUESTIONS ON THAT PROPOSAL OKAY
YES THOSE THIS BUILT UPON THE
PRIOR COMMUNITY SCHOOLS
PROPOSALS WITH THE- ECONOMICS
FOR HOW IT'S GOING TO BE PAID
FOR WITH THE MATCH REQUIREMENT
TO. MAKE SURE HE'S ACTUALLY ARE
FINANCIALLY VIABLE FOR SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BECAUSE I KNOW THAT
THERE'S A LOT OF SUPPORT AND I
SUPPORT THE CONCEPT COMMITTEE
SCHOOLS JUST WANT TO SEE HOW
THESE WOULD ACTUALLY. THE
COMMONALITY- THE LANGUAGE THAT
ACTUALLY WITH INTERVIEWS- I
GOVERNOR'S BUDGET WAS LARGELY
BUILT UPON THE LANGUAGE AND
THAT WAS DRAFTED LAST YEAR
AROUND THE FORTY FIVE MILLION
THAT WAS PROVIDED FOR COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS SO IN THAT SENSE- YES
IT IS CONSISTENT THAT LANGUAGE
DID NOT HAVE THE MATH
REQUIREMENT THAT IS A NEW
PIECE- THAT OF THE PROGRAM THAT
WE HAVE BUILT OUT FOR THE NAY
REVISION- WE WOULD NOTE THAT
BACK- MATCH REQUIREMENT- IS A
50% MATCH AMOUNT AND IT CAN BE
EITHER CASH OR IN KIND AND
WE'VE ALSO DRAFTED THE LANGUAGE
TO ALLOW FOR. THAT CONTRIBUTION
TO COME FROM PARTNER ENTITIES-
INCLUDING GOVERNMENT AGENCIES
AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND
THE PRIVATE SECTOR SO THE
BURDEN IN PROVIDING THAT MATCH
WOULD NOT- FALL SQUARELY ON AND
THE ONLY A WHICH WE THINK WOULD
HELP MITIGATE SOME OF THE
CONCERNS. IN THAT AREA. OKAY
FAIR ENOUGH. M. THEN. GO AHEAD
THANK. ONLY GONNA GONNA IN THE
DEPARTMENT EDUCATION. NOTE ON
THE 50% OF MATCH AGREE THAT IT
MAY BE AN ISSUE FOR SOME
SCHOOLS I WOULD ALSO IKE TO
JUST FLAG AT THE TIMELINE IS
DEPENDENT UPON THE TOTAL AMOUNT
OF FUNDS AVAILABLE THE CURRENT
TIMELINE ON THE COMMUNITY
SCHOOLS PROJECT WAS BASED UPON
THE TWO HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE
MILLION PREVIOUSLY BUT IF THE
FUNDING MOVES FROM THAT NUMBER
TO YOU. THE BILLIONS RANGE WE
ARE LOOKING AT AN EXTENSION AN
EXTENSION NEEDED FOR THE GRANT
ADMINISTRATION PROCESS AND WE
LOOK FORWARD TO AN OPPORTUNITY
TO ENSURE THAT THERE ARE
SUFFICIENT STATE OPERATIONS- TO
ENSURE THE SUCCESS OF THIS
PROGRAM BASED UPON INCREASED
FUNDING. GOTCHA OKAY AND THEN
MOVING ON TO THE- TO THE
TEACHER WORKFORCE SAID
CERTAINLY THIS IS CRITICAL OF
THE IT IN AND ALL- IN ALL OF.
TWENTY YEARS AS FAR AS- MAKING
SURE CAN WE CAN RECRUIT RECRUIT
RETAIN- YEAH OUR PARTY TO WORK
FORCE. WHAT THINK WHAT THINGS
DO WE THINK ARE ARE UNIQUE AS
FAR AS- POTENTIAL EXPANSION OF
EARLY EDUCATORS WITH T. K.
SPECIALLY. THAT THERE IS THE
TWO TEACHERS IN THE CLASSROOM
THE PART PROFESSIONALS WHO
DON'T NECESSARILY NEED A
TEACHER CREDENTIAL AND THEN THE
TO KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS WHICH
ARE ESSENTIALLY HE KNOWS THAT
THE TYPICAL SINGLE SUBJECT
CREDENTIAL FOR A K. TWELVE
TEACHER. DO WE THINK THIS IS-
IS ADEQUATE AND SUFFICIENT TO
DEAL WITH THE DEAL NEEDS OF
JUST OVERALL- NEED TO RECRUIT
MORE TEACHERS FOR A K. TWELVE
SCHOOL SYSTEM AND WITH THE
EXPANSION OF T. K. NUMBER
ALEXANDER WITH THE DEPARTMENT
OF FINANCE. ALL AND GO HEAD AND
BEGIN SPEAKING ON ON THAT POINT
AND THEN MAYBE PASS IT OFF TO
THE COMMISSION ON TEACHER
CREDENTIALING TO ADD MORE
COMMENTS- BUT WE WOULD NOTE
THAT A NUMBER OF THE PROPOSALS
THAT HAVE BEEN- DRAFTED
INCLUDING THAT. A LARGE AYE
ROAD MAP TO- PRE K. EDUCATIONAL
EMPLOYMENT. WERE DROPPED
INTENTIONALLY TO INCLUDE THAT
CREE QUE- WORKFORCE ANTI CASE
SPECIFICALLY- ACT DR CITY I
DON'T KNOW IF THERE'S ANYTHING
MORE THAT YOU WOULD HAVE TO
HAPPEN. OF ANY. OTHER SPECIFIC.
AND WE WERE VERY THOUGHTFUL AND-
IN MAKING SURE OUR TEETH
PARTNERS WORK WITH. YES YOU-
CHAIRMAN MCCARTY OF THE
COMMITTEE- I AGREE WITH EMBERS
SAID COMMENTS AND- THE NEW
TAKEN IN MAY REVISE HERE A
MULTI YEAR MULTI FACETED
SYSTEMIC APPROACH TO
RECRUITMENT- AND THAT'S GOING
TO BE NECESSARY IN ORDER IN
ORDER FOR US TO GET THE T. K.
THROUGH TWELVE IN THE PRE K.
THROUGH TWELVE EDUCATORS WE
NEED. OVER THE COMING YEARS SO
HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY OTHER
SPECIFIC QUESTIONS MIGHT HAVE
ABOUT THAT BUT- YOU KNOW WE
THINK THAT THERE ARE A NUMBER
OF POTENTIAL PATHWAYS THAT CAN
BE A LINE VERY WELL TO THE T.
K. SPACE. AND WE ARE WORKING ON
THAT OVER HERE AT THE
COMMISSION. TIGHTLIPPED SONNY
JUST ASK A DIFFERENT WAY SAID
YOU THINK AS WE X. AS WE EXPAND
T. K. WHICH IN OUR DOING WHICH-
HAS TO BE APPROVED FORCE FIRST
BUT THAT'S PART OF THE BUDGET
FOR EARLIER CHEN ITEM. DO YOU.
THINK ALL THESE. TEACH PIPELINE
IN AND TEACH TRAINING PRO. WILL
ARE SUFFICIENT AS WE LOOK TO.
EXPANDED T. K. WORKFORCE
ESSENTIALLY TRIPLE THE EXISTING
TICKET WORKFORCE FOR DO WE NEED.
BY THE BOX AND FUTURE AS WELL-
WELL CONTINUALLY WE SHOULD BE
THINKING OUTSIDE THE BOX- IN
ORDER TO KIND OF ****
CONTINUALLY ASSESS WHERE WE ARE
AND WHERE WE'RE MAKING
PROGRESS- AND WE DO BELIEVE
THIS IS ADEQUATE- TO REALLY
PURSUE- THE KINDS OF WORKFORCE.
THAT WE NEED THE PEOPLE WHO.
HAVE OPPORTUNITIES BASED ON
THESE INVESTMENTS FROM THE
GRANT PROGRAMS THE RESIDENCY
PROGRAM THE CLASSIFIED GRANT
PROGRAM THE GOLDEN STATE
TEACHER GRANT PROGRAM ALL OF
THESE OPPORTUNITIES WILL BE
THERE FOR THE TEA CARE WORK
FORCE. TO SUPPORT THEIR
ACHIEVEMENT OF THAT THE
APPROPRIATE CREDENTIAL TO WORK
IN THAT SPACE AND ITS
SIGNIFICANCE FUNDING OVER THE
NEXT FIVE YEARS WHICH IS GOING
TO BE NECESSARY. I THINK THE
ONE ISSUE THAT WE THINK IS
GOING TO BE CRITICALLY
IMPORTANT TO ATTEMPT TO
SIMULTANEOUSLY. IS THAT OUR
PREPARATION INSTITUTIONS HAVE
THE CAPACITY TO ABSORB AND
DEVELOP AND PREPARE THIS
WORKFORCE WE KNOW THE MAY
REVISE FOR HIGHER EDUCATION
INCLUDE SIGNIFICANT INVESTMENTS
FOR OUR PUBLIC INSTITUTIONS-
BUT WE THINK THAT WE REALLY
NEED TO TARGET IN THAT SPACE AS
WELL. A DOUBLING THE NUMBERS OF
TEACHERS THAT ARE COMING OUT OF
OUR INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER
EDUCATION TO ADDRESS CURRENT
AND CHRONIC SHORTAGES AND TO
ADDRESS THE FUTURE NEEDS THAT
T. K. WILL PRESENT. SURE
MCCARTY. YES I LIKE HONOR ON
BEHALF OF THE DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION I'D LIKE TO DO AS MY
COLLEAGUES THERE NETTLE MORGAN
MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY WITH SO
MANY NEW CHILDREN BEING SERVED
IN TKA IT IS ESSENTIAL THAT WE
WORK TO ADDRESS ON THE TKA-
TEACHER PIPELINE. AND AS WE
WELCOME ANY GRADE LEVEL TO THE
EDUCATION SYSTEM WE NEED TO
ENSURE THAT WE GET PARTICULAR
ATTENTION TO RECRUITING AND
SUPPORTING ENOUGH TEACHERS. TO
TEACH THE THOUSANDS OF NEW
STUDENTS WE ANTICIPATE WILL BE
ENTERING TRANSITIONAL
KINDERGARTEN. THAT SAID THE CD
DOES NOT THINK THAT THAT FIFTY
MILLION IS SUFFICIENT TO
ADDRESS THE WORKFORCE NEEDS
ADAMS THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS
OF NEW TEACHERS THAT WILL BE
NEEDED. TO SUPPORT A WHOLE
DIFFERENT LEVEL. OKAY THANK
YOU- NO FURTHER QUESTIONS WITH
THAT WILL ALSO HOLD THIS ISSUE-
OPEN. AND WITH THAT WE WILL NOW
PROCEED WITH THE PUBLIC%
COMMENT. ON ANY OF THE THREE-
ISSUES ON THE AGENDA TODAY.
LATER THAT MAY REVISE. BUDGET
THERE'S NO ONE IN THE ROOM
OPERATOR WHO'S HERE TO TESTIFY
