LOUD LAUGHTER AND IT WAS GOOD I

TWENTY THREE- AS WE ALL KNOW
STUDENT SAFETY IS A TOP PRIORITY
I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY ACCEPTING
THE COMMITTEE MEMBERS SO THANK
YOU FOR WORKING WITH MY STAFF.
ON THOSE DUE TO COMPLICATIONS
THAT ARISE WHEN A PERSON IS
DISABLED SOME INDIVIDUALS ARE
NOT ABLE TO FILE AN EVACUATION
EVACUATION PLAN EARTHQUAKER
LOCKDOWN PROTOCOL IN THE SAME
MANNER AS THE GENERAL PUBLIC SB
THREE TWENTY THREE REQUIRE
SCHOOLS TO ESTABLISH A SAFETY
ACCESS AND EQUITY COMMITTEE. AND
REQUIRES A COMMUNITY REVIEW THE
SCHOOLS COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY
PLANS TO CONSIDER WHETHER IT IS
INCLUSIVE OF THE STUDENT
POPULATION AT THAT SCHOOL AND TO
MAKE RECOMMENDATIONS TO THE
SCHOOL SITE COUNCIL. THE BILL
ALSO REQUIRES THAT THE COMMITTEE
DETERMINES ANY STUDENT KICKED
OUT OF THEIR SYSTEM THAT CANNOT
BE REASONABLY ASSURED OF SAFETY
BY THE PLAN IT CONVENE AN
INDIVIDUAL SAFETY PLANS TEAM TO
DEVELOP PROTOCOLS FOR THOSE
STUDENTS. IT IS UNIVERSALLY
ACCEPTED THAT CAREFUL PLANNING
AND PRACTICE DRILLS IMPROVE OUR
OUTCOMES AND SAFETY DURING A
NATURAL DISASTER OR SADLY-
VIOLENCE ON THE CAMPUS. THIS
BILL AS A PROACTIVE MEASURE THAT
TRIES TO PROTECT ALL STUDENTS BY
CREATING. A COMPREHENSIVE SAFETY
PLAN. TESTIFYING SUPPORT INJURE
CHRISTMAS CONSTITUENTS WHO
ACTUALLY BROUGHT THIS ISSUE TO
MY ATTENTION SO I'M HAPPY TO
STEAL OTHER PEOPLE'S GOOD IDEAS
LIKE THIS ONE IN ANDREAS HERE TO
SHARE HER PERSPECTIVE. THANK
THANK YOU SENATOR. MY SON DANIEL
HAS AUTISM INTELLECTUAL
DISABILITIES SEVERAL POLICY AND
CAN'T WALK OR STAND. WHEN DANIEL
WAS THE ONLY STUDENT AND
WHEELCHAIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL I
ASKED ABOUT EMERGENCY EVACUATION
PLANS. I GOT THE FEELING THE
ADMINISTRATOR WAS CAUGHT OFF
GUARD BY MY QUESTION BUT HE SAID
THEY HAD IT COVERED. SO I ASKED
TO SEE WHAT THE PLAN WAS. HE
SAID I HAVE TO WAIT BECAUSE IT
WAS UNDER REVIEW AND I NEVER GOT
TO SEE IT. IN ORDER TO GET A KID
IN A WHEELCHAIR DOWN FROM THE
SECOND FLOOR WITHOUT THE
ELEVATOR. IT WOULD HELP TO HAVE
AN EVACUATION SLINGER CHAIR AND
TRAINING ON HOW TO USE IT. ONCE
YOU'RE DOWNSTAIRS WHAT NEXT.
WELL MY SON'S MENU WILL WE ARE
WHEELCHAIR COULD BE CARRIED BUT
SOME STUDENTS HAVE POWER CHAIRS
WHICH ARE TOO HEAVY. SO YOU WANT
TO KEEP A COLLAPSIBLE WHEELCHAIR
ON THE GROUND FLOOR. ANOTHER
TIME A SPECIAL EDUCATION TEACHER
TOLD ME. A FIREFIGHTER HAD A
SUGGESTION FOR DURING AN
EARTHQUAKE TO THE WHEELCHAIR
ONTO ITS SIDE TO TRIANGULATE THE
SAFE SPACE IN CASE THE CEILING
FALLS IN. THEY THOUGHT THAT WAS
A GOOD IDEA BUT I THINK SOMEONE
MIGHT GET HURT. WHEELCHAIRS ARE
NOT MADE TO TIP OVER. SAFE TO
SAY ADVANCE PLANNING AND
TRAINING ARE REALLY IMPORTANT SO
THAT STAFF KNOW WHAT TO DO. SOME
STUDENTS CAN'T OR SHOULDN'T
FOLLOW THE SAME EMERGENCY
PROCEDURES AS EVERYONE ELSE. THE
REASON COULD BE ORTHOPEDIC
NEUROLOGICAL COGNITIVE MEDICAL
BEHAVIORAL OR SOMETHING ELSE.
EDUCATORS REALLY WANT TO PROTECT
ALL STUDENTS BUT SOMETIMES THE
KIDS WHO ARE WHO ARE THE
EXCEPTION TO THE RULE GET
OVERLOOKED. SB THREE TWENTY
THREE ADDS A LAYER OF SCRUTINY.
SCHOOL DISASTER PLANS NEED TO BE
VIEWED THROUGH MULTIPLE LENSES

CHAIR THANK YOU- THANK YOU
COMMITTEE I'D LIKE TO BEGIN BY
ACCEPTING THE AMENDMENTS
OUTLINED IN THE ANALYSIS. AND
THANKS COMMITTEE STAFFER
WORKING- WITH MINE AND THE
SPONSORS TO GET US TO WHERE WE
ARE TODAY AS YOU ALL KNOW THIS
IS BEEN A JOURNEY- AND I
APPRECIATE THE OPPORTUNITY TO
PRESENT THE BILL TODAY- AS A
PARENT AS A LEGISLATOR AS A AS A
NEIGHBOR. WE KNOW OUR KIDS ARE.
IN A CRISIS AND- AGAIN WE WANT
TO MAKE SURE THEY GO OFF TO
SCHOOL AND GET AN EDUCATION AND-
ALSO. ARE IN GOOD HEALTH WHEN
THEY COME HOME AND WHEN THEY'RE
BECAUSE IT MAKES A DIFFERENCE-
IN THE MIDST OF THIS CRISIS AND
WAS EXACERBATED BY THE COLD IN
NINETEEN PANDEMIC- WE KNOW ARE
YOU THIRTY CREEK INCREASINGLY
ISOLATED. DISENGAGED AND MANY OF
THEM. ARE DEPRESSED AND- IT'S
SAD TO SEE. ACCORDING THE US
DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH AND HUMAN
SERVICES. NEARLY ONE IN THREE
CALIFORNIA HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS
SURVEYED REPORTED FEELING SAD OR
HOPELESS ALMOST EVERY SINGLE
DAY. FOR TWO OR MORE WEEKS IN A
ROW NEARLY ONE IN FIVE REPORTED
THAT THEY HAVE SERIOUSLY.
CONSIDERED ATTEMPTING SUICIDE
AND WE KNOW THOSE NUMBERS ARE
EVEN GREATER FOR LGBTQ PLUS
STUDENTS AS WELL. RESEARCH SHOWS
THAT THE SOONER PEOPLE GET HELP
FOR MENTAL HEALTH. AND SUBSTANCE
ABUSE CONCERNS THE MORE LIKELY
THEY ARE TO HAVE A POSITIVE
OUTCOME. THIS BILL IS MORE
IMPORTANT THAN EVER BECAUSE AS
WE KNOW. TEACHERS ARE
ENCOUNTERING STUDENT BEHAVIOR
HEALTH ISSUES RESULTING FROM
EMOTIONAL IMPACT OF THE PANDEMIC
GUN VIOLENCE SOCIAL MEDIA. AND
OTHER SOCIO ECONOMIC FACTORS.
THE REALITY IS THAT WHEN
STUDENTS GO TO SCHOOL THEIR
TRAUMA AND DEPRESSION GOES WITH
THEM. IF WE DON'T TRAIN TEACHERS
AND OTHER FOLKS ON A CAMPUS-
STUDENTS. WILL BE LEFT WITHOUT
THE TOOLS THEY NEED TO IDENTIFY
CRISIS AND HELP THOSE STUDENTS
IN NEED. I LACK OF TRAINING.
DOES IT KEEP THE STUDENTS
DEPRESSION OR SUBSTANCE USE
DISORDER AT HOME- IT JUST
DOESN'T. WHILE EXISTING LAW
BECAUSE UPON CALIFORNIA
DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATIONAL
IDENTIFIED OF EVIDENCE BASED
MENTAL HEALTH TRAINING PROGRAM
IT DOES NOT MANDATE. THAT
SCHOOLS ESTABLISH THE TRAINING
PROGRAM FOR THEIR STAFF. SB FIVE
OH NINE HELPS ADDRESS THIS
PROBLEM BY REQUIRING
CALIFORNIA'S DEPARTMENT OF
EDUCATION TO ENSURE. THAT WITH
THE COMMITTEE AMENDS 40% OF
CLASSIFIED IN A 100% OF-
CERTIFIED EMPLOYEES ON SCHOOL
CAMPUS COMPLETE. AN EVIDENCE
BASED TRAINING. MANDATING THIS
TRAINING WILL PROVIDE ESSENTIAL
INSTRUCTION IN HOW STUDENTS
TEACHERS AND SCHOOL STAFF CAN
PROVIDE REFERRALS. TO MENTAL
HEALTH SERVICES AND I THINK
THAT'S IMPORTANT SOME FOLKS
THINK WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE THEM.
THE PROVIDERS. WERE NOT. FOR
TRYING TO HELP THEM IDENTIFY WHO
HAS A PROBLEM SO WE CAN STEER
FOLKS TO THE APPROPRIATE
PROVIDER. AND IT'S NOT AN
ATTEMPT TO TURN ANYBODY INTO A
MENTAL HEALTH PROFESSIONAL. IN
FACT IT'S SUCH AS THE CENTRAL
JUST THE CPR. IS WE TEACH PEOPLE
CPR SO IS THE FIRST STATE TO
HELP WITH THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH
ISSUES SO. TAKING THESE COURSES
IS IMPORTANT AND WILL MAKE A
DIFFERENCE AND WILL SAVE A LIFE
AND SO KIDS NEED OUR HELP TO BE
SAFE AT SCHOOL AND THAT SHOULD
INCLUDE. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH AS
WELL AS PHYSICAL HEALTH SB FIVE
ONLINE ALSO EXPANDS ON THE
ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF S. B. TWO TWO
FOUR. AND WITH THE ACCEPTED
COMMITTEE MEMBERS WOULD ADD
MENTAL HEALTH TO THE HEALTH
CURRICULUM. COURSE OF STUDY FOR
GRADES ONE THROUGH SIX- AND
AGAIN WHEN. SOMEBODY HAS A CUT
ME. WE GIVE THEM A MANDATE.
RIGHT WHENEVER INSIDE WE SHOULD
HELP THEM FIND THE BAND THEY
NEED TO HELP THEIR HURT INSIDE
AND SO WITH ME TODAY I HAVE

THE SECOND LEADING CAUSE OF
DEATH FOR YOU FIFTEEN TO TWENTY
FOUR YEARS OLD. AND THE THIRD
LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH AMONG
YOUTH AGED TEN TO FOURTEEN. WE
DEFINITELY HAVE A PROBLEM AND WE
KNOW THAT THIS PANDEMIC HAS
TAKEN A TOLL AND IT'S CREATED
ISOLATION AND IT'S HAD AN IMPACT
ON YOUTH AND IT'S MANIFESTING IN
THE FORM OF POOR COPING SKILLS
INCLUDING EATING DISORDERS SELF
HARMING BEHAVIORS. THE LIST GOES
ON AND ON. OUR COALITION
STRONGLY BELIEVES THAT WE NEED
TO BETTER EQUIPPED TEACHERS AND
SCHOOL STAFF ON THE FRONT LINES
OF THIS CRISIS BY INCREASING
ACCESS TO MENTAL HEALTH
TRAININGS FOR ALL ADULTS ALL
ADULTS INTERACT WITH YOU. WE
DON'T WANT SCHOOL PERSONNEL TO
BE MENTAL HEALTH EXPERTS AS A
SENATOR EXPOUNDED BUT WE NEED
THEM TO KNOW WHAT TO LOOK FOR
HOW TO DE ESCALATE IS STUDENT.

REFERRAL TO CARE. SCHOOLS ARE

IS ERIN FRIDAY I'M A LICENSED
ATTORNEY I AM A CO LEAD OF OUR
DUTY A GROUP OF OUR
INTERNATIONAL PARENTS
NONPARTISAN NON RELIGIOUS AND WE
OPPOSE THIS BILL. WE OPPOSE THIS
BILL BECAUSE ONCE AGAIN THE
PARENTS ARE CUT OUT OF THE
DISCUSSION I'M REALLY SORRY FOR
WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR DAUGHTER
BUT I IMAGINE THAT YOU WISHED
THAT THE TEACHER WOULD HAVE
INFORMED YOU. THERE IS NOTHING
IN THIS BILL THAT REQUIRES
PARENTS TO BE INFORMED ABOUT THE
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES GOING ON
WITH THEIR CHILDREN AT SCHOOL
ABSOLUTELY NOTHING- AND- WHAT
THIS BILL IS DOING IS NOT
ADDRESSING THE CRUX OF THE
PROBLEM WHY ARE CHILDREN SO
DEPRESSED IT'S NOT BECAUSE OF
KOBE. THIS THE CHILDREN'S MENTAL
HEALTH HAS BEEN DISINTEGRATING
FOR THE LAST DECADE ARE EVER
SINCE- THE BILL HAS BEEN PASSED
YOU TO PULL PARENTS OUT OF THE
EQUATION SUICIDE FOR TEN TO
TWELVE YEAR OLDS IN THE LAST TEN
YEARS HAS INCREASED BY FORTY
PERCENT. THAT'S WITH PARENTS
BEING REMOVED. IF YOU CAN SEE
THIS GRAPH THIS GRAPH SHOWS THE
EFFECT OF SOCIAL MEDIA. ON GIRLS
THIS IS CUTTING SUICIDE
DEPRESSION SELF HARM. WE NEED TO
ADDRESS THE ISSUE WHICH IS
SOCIAL MEDIA AND INDOCTRINATION
OF KIDS AND CONFUSING THAT WHILE
THEY ARE AT SCHOOL THIS BILL
HAS. FIRST GRADERS LEARNING
ABOUT MENTAL HEALTH PLEASE GET
OUT OF YOUR SILO AND GOING TO
TICK TOCK AND SEE THAT THESE
YOUNG GIRLS ARE COMPETING
AGAINST EACH OTHER TO HAVE
MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES. YOU WIN IF
YOU HAVE A D. I. T. OR MULTIPLE
PERSONALITY YOU WIN IF YOU HAVE
TO RATS IF YOU GET THAT
SCHIZOPHRENIA THEY ARE COMPETING
AGAINST EACH OTHER SO NOW YOU'RE
GOING TO TEACH SIX YEAR OLDS
THAT THEY COULD HAVE A MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUE OR MAYBE SECOND
GRADERS. THAT CUTTING IS AN
ISSUE OR THAT ANOREXIA IS A
DISEASE THESE ARE ALL SOCIAL
CONTAGION IN BAND I'M GONNA NEED
YOU TO WRAP UP INCLUDING SUICIDE
. THIS BILL IS MISPLACED PLEASE
ADDRESS THE CRUX OF THE ISSUE.
THANK MISTER CHAIR MEMBERS OF

OPPOSITION TO THE BILL. SEEING
NONE- LET ME BRING IT BACK TO
THE COMMITTEE. MR LEE. I SAW
THAT THINK THE AUTHOR SERVER
DELIVERING THIS BILL FOR- I KNOW
YOU'VE BEEN. VERY PROCESS AND
BRING THIS BILL FOR IT TO TAKE
CARE OF OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND I
REALLY DO BELIEVE THAT THIS IS A
GREAT STEP TO MAKE SURE THAT.
OUR EDUCATORS ARE QUICK TO
RECOGNIZE THE SIGNS AND- STEER
PEOPLE IN THE RIGHT PLACE FOR
HELP AND YOU KNOW. IT WAS ALWAYS
CUT INTO THE SLIGHTLY
CONTROVERSIAL AND YOU REALLY
**** THIS BILL. AT LEAST ONE
STAND WITH YOU ON THIS ONCE I
WOULD LOVE TO BE A CO AUTHOR IF
POSSIBLE FOR THIS BILL AS WELL-
BUT THIS BILL YOU KNOW SOMEBODY
OPPOSITION POINT TWO IS VERY
SIMILAR TO CONVERSATION ABOUT.
EIGHTY FIVE WHICH IS TRAINING
OUR SCHOOL POLICE TO RECOGNIZE
AND SUPPORT LGBTQ YOUTH THIS IS
A SIMILAR WAY. I'M NOT FOR IT
COINCIDENCE THE LGBT YOUTH
POPULATION ALSO IS A STRONG AND
DIAGRAM OVER SECTION. WITH
MENTAL HEALTH- DISORDERS ISSUES
AS WELL. SO HAVING THOSE
TRAININGS TOGETHER IT'S GOING TO
REALLY IMPACT OF OUR YOUTH WE'RE
EXPERIENCING SO MANY THINGS.
YOUNG PEOPLE TODAY EVEN GIVEN
ME. ARE ARE GOING UP SO MUCH
FASTER BECAUSE THEY'RE GOING
THROUGH SO MUCH JUST AS THE
AUTHOR TALK ABOUT HIS OPENING
STATEMENT. YEAH MY SILENCE
SOCIAL MEDIA PRESSURES ASIDE
EVERYTHING THAT'S HAPPENING ALL
ONCE. AND YOU KNOW IT ALWAYS
HELPS THAT THE ADULT THAT THEY
SEE ALMOST EVERY DAY IN THEIR
LIFE. AND SPEND A LOT OF TIME
WITH IF THESE NOTICE SOMETHING'S
GOING ON AT LEAST. THIS YEAR THE
RIGHT DIRECTION IN THE GIVEN
SOME GUIDANCE THAT'S ALL RASKIN
FOUR. AND I'M AT PEACE WITH HIS
BILL TODAY AND ON WITH THE BILL.
THANK YOU. OF THE- MOTIONS FOR
MADE IN SECOND. IN THE- OTHER
COMMON FROM THE COMMITTEE. SEVEN
FORTY AYE. I GIVE YOU THE LAST
WORD- FIRST OF ALL. SIR I'M ALSO
A FATHER OF A FOURTEEN YEAR OLD.
AND- YOU KNOW HI I FOLLOW. ALL
THE NEWS- NEVER ENDING NEWS
ABOUT. THE TEENAGE MENTAL HEALTH
CRISIS. THAT WE ARE SEEING- IN
THE ENTIRE COUNTRY- YOU KNOW I
AGREE THAT SOCIAL MEDIA IS.
APPEARS TO BE DRIVING MUCH OF
THIS TEENAGE MENTAL HEALTH
CRISIS IN FACT. A COUPLE YEARS
AGO YOU KNOW BASED ON THE BOOK
WRITTEN BY DR JANE TWENTY FROM
SAN DIEGO STATE. YOU KNOW I
INTRODUCED A BILL TO TRY TO
ADDRESS SMART PHONES IN SCHOOLS
THAT'S NOT THE BILL WON'T GO
INTO IT. BUT I JUST WANTED TO
SAY THAT THE- I. YOU KNOW YEAH
AS A PARENT I MY CONDOLENCES YOU
KNOW. THE OBVIOUSLY A PARENT'S
WORST NIGHTMARE- AND- IT
ESPECIALLY FOR TEENAGE GIRLS I
MEAN THAT CENTERS FOR DISEASE
CONTROL IT TALKS ABOUT. TWO OUT
OF FIVE KIDS YOU KNOW THEY'RE
TWO OUT OF FIVE TEENAGE GIRLS.
YOU KNOW WHAT WHETHER IT'S OUT
OF SOCIAL MEDIA OR OR WHATEVER I
MEAN. WE HAVE A TRUE CRISIS
HERE- AND I BELIEVE THAT WELL WE
HAVE A TRUE CRISIS. WE NEED TO
MAKE SURE THAT OUR SCHOOL
EMPLOYEES ARE PROPERLY TRAINED
TO BE ABLE TO DEAL WITH THIS
CRISIS- TO THE TEACHERS I KNOW
THAT- YOU KNOW OUR TEACHERS ARE
OVERWHELMED WITH SO MANY
MANDATES- REQUIREMENTS- YOU KNOW
BUT I LIKE. MY COLLEAGUE- FROM
THE SILICON VALLEY- YOU KNOW I
WOULD I WOULD COMPARE THIS TO
THE- THE CRISIS THAT WE'RE
SEEING NOW- IN TERMS OF THE TAX
ON OUR LGBT Q. PLUS. YOU I KNOW
THAT THIS COMMITTEE- WHAT THE
TEACHERS SUPPORT YOU KNOW PASSED
THE TRAINING REQUIREMENT FOR
TEACHERS TO ADDRESS THAT CRISIS
. AND SO. YOU KNOW IT IT
BECOMES- DIFFICULT FOR THIS
COMMITTEE YOU KNOW WE TRY TO BE
VERY VERY. JUDICIOUS IN TERMS OF
IMPOSING NEW TRAINING MANDATES
ON TEACHERS- ALONG WITH ALL THE
OTHER YOU KNOW LIABILITY IN
OTHER CONCERNS THAT THAT YOU
KNOW YOU PROPERLY REYES- THE
BEST FOR ME THE BOTTOM LINE- AND
THE REASON WHY I WANTED TO BRING
THIS BILL TO A HEARING CENTER IS
BECAUSE I SHARE. YOU KNOW WITH
YOU YOUR DEEP- YOU KNOW CONCERN
AND RECOGNITION THAT WE DO IN
FACT HAVE A TEENAGE MENTAL
HEALTH CRISIS- AND SO I AM PROUD
TO SUPPORT THIS BILL. US
SENATOR- THANK YOU FOR BRINGING
THIS FORWARD- LIKE TO GIVE YOU
THE LAST WORD THANK YOU THANK

UNIFIED THE SECOND LARGEST
SCHOOL DISTRICT IN THE COUNTY
ROLLED OUT A PROGRAM IN TWO
THOUSAND TWENTY THREE CALLED. WE
ARE ALL YEAR THAT LITERALLY
NEVER STOP CELEBRATING ALL
THINGS LGBTQ. THE IMPETUS OF FOR
THIS BILL- IS THE DENIGRATION OF
EIGHTY IN L. G. B. T. Q. FLAG-
WE DON'T CONDONE I ANY STUDENT-
DENIGRATING A FLAG REGARDLESS OF
THEIR- JUST DISDAIN FOR IT- BUT
WE NEED TO ASK THE QUESTION WHY
WOULD A STUDENT DO THAT. WELL
HEY MAYBE BECAUSE KIDS ARE TIRED
OF ALL THE LGBT Q. ALL THE TIME
EVERYWHERE AT SCHOOL KIDS ARE
TIRED OF THE PRONOUN QUESTIONS
THE ASSIGNMENTS FORCING THEM TO
EITHER LIE ABOUT THEIR BELIEFS
ABOUT. TRANSGENDERISM OR FAIL
THE KID IN MOUNTAIN VIEW HIGH
SCHOOL FAILED A PAPER BECAUSE HE
SAID THE GENDER IDENTITY ISN'T
REAL. STUDENTS ARE TIRED OF
BEING ASKED ABOUT THEIR
SEXUALITY- IN THOSE INVASIVE
HEALTHY KIDS ARE SURVEYS. THIS
WINTER WE HELD A PEACEFUL RALLY
AT DAVIS HIGH SCHOOL PROTESTING
THE TALK FROM AGE GENDER
SPECTRUM RAP WHO WAS TO DISCUSS
PUBERTY BLOCKERS WRONG SEX
HORMONES AND SURGERIES TO

WITHOUT PARENTAL CONSENT. A
COUPLE OF KIDS STOPPED AND
THANKED US THE FIRST WAS THE
YOUNG MAN WHO SAID MOST OF THE
KIDS ON THIS CAMPUS CAN'T EVEN
DO MATH LET ALONE MAKE MEDICAL
DECISIONS THAT WILL AFFECT THEM
FOR THE REST OF THEIR LIVES.
ANOTHER STUDENT A YOUNG LADY
SAID THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
STANDING UP FOR US YOU HAVE NO
IDEA ABOUT THE PRESSURE THEY'RE
PUTTING ON US. WHERE IS THE BILL
TO CREATE THE TASK FORCE TO
HIGHLIGHT THE MENTAL HEALTH AND
FEELINGS OF THE MUSLIM AND

THE COSBY ON THE PARENTS BACK.
SCHOOLS BECAUSE OF YOUR LAWS ARE
ACTUALLY CREATING GENDER
CONFUSED KIDS SO NO DON'T HAVE A
TASK FORCE TO SEE HOW YOU CAN
FURTHER INFLUENCE KIDS TO
BELIEVE THE BODIES ARE WRONG.
SCHOOLS ARE THE PIPELINE TO THE
BILLION DOLLAR MEDICAL INDUSTRY.

SEVERAL SKINNER THANK THANK YOU
VERY MUCH MR CHAIRMAN MEMBERS- I
WANT TO START FIRST WITH I'M
THINKING THAT YOU'RE IN THE
COMMITTEE WE WORKED VERY LONG
HOURS- TO- TO COME UP WITH A
SUBSTANTIAL NUMBER OF AMENDMENTS
THAT I THINK MAKE THE BILL
BETTER. AND- AND THAT I HOPE IS
WE HEAR IN THE TESTIMONY HAS
REMOVED MUCH OF THE OPPOSITION I
. THE THOSE AMENDMENTS. I DON'T
KNOW IF YOU'D LIKE ME TO GO
THROUGH THEM WHAT IS YOUR
PREFERENCE MISTER CHAIR. AS LONG
AS YOU ACCEPT THEIR MEMBERS ON
THE RECORD NONE AND THERE IS A
WHOLE VARIETY OF THEM THAT DEAL
WITH THE- SOCIAL SERVICE
AGENCIES FOR EXAMPLE THAT
TRANSPORT OUR FOSTER CHILDREN IN
OUR CHILDREN WITH SPECIAL NEEDS
LOTS OF EXEMPTIONS FOR OUR
SCHOOL EMPLOYEES WHO WHETHER IT
IS- FOR FIELD TRIPS AND SUCH AND
OTHER AND OTHER PURPOSES
EXEMPTIONS FOR PARENTS AND OTHER
RELATIVES. EVEN IF THEY ARE
COMPENSATED FOR DRIVING A
STUDENT AND A WHOLE VARIETY OF
THINGS LIKE THAT- SO I JUST
WANNA MAKE SURE AGAIN THERE IN
THE ANALYSIS AND RATHER THAN MY
GOING THROUGH ALL OF THEM WILL
SO WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THIS
BILL- CALIFORNIA UNFORTUNATELY
WAS WE DID NOT PROVIDE GOOD
FUNDING FOR OUR SCHOOLS FOR A
LONG TIME WE WERE. IN THE BOTTOM
OF PER PUPIL OF FUNDING THANK
GOODNESS THIS YEAR WE'RE GOING
TO BE AT THE HIGHEST WE'VE EVER
BEEN AGAIN WE CAN STILL DO
BETTER BUT- ANYWAY FOR THE
LONGEST TIME WE REALLY WERE NOT
PROVIDING ADEQUATE FUNDING TO
OUR SCHOOLS. AND SO OVER TIME
THEY BEGAN TO ELIMINATE OF
TRANSPORTATION BUS SERVICE-
BECAUSE OF COURSE. WE WOULD
EXPECT THAT THE TO KEEP THEIR
FOCUS ON THE CLASSROOM SO THE
CALIFORNIA BECAME OVER TIME DEAD
LAST IN THE U. S. IN TERMS OF
THE OFFER THE AMOUNT OF STUDENTS
WHO GOT HOME TO SCHOOL
TRANSPORTATION. NOW IT IS NOT
COMPLETELY COROLLARY BUT WE HAVE
A MUCH HIGHER RATE OF
ABSENTEEISM IN OUR LOWEST GRADES
IN OUR K. THREE THREE GRADES
THAN MANY OTHER STATES AND
THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF STUDIES
THAT INDICATE A GOOD DEAL OF
THAT IS BECAUSE THE KIDS CAN'T
GET TO SCHOOL. AND OF COURSE WE
KNOWN KIDS MISS SCHOOL THEY
DON'T DO AS WELL IN SCHOOL. SO
ASKED WEEPING PRIEST THE FUNDING
TO OUR SCHOOLS WE HAVE ALSO LAST
YEAR WE PASSED A BILL INTO A
BUDGET WHERE WE ASK SCHOOLS TO.
WE DIDN'T MANDATE WE DID NOT
REQUIRE THEM TO PROVIDE A HOME
TO SCHOOL FOR EVERY SINGLE
STUDENT BUT WE SAID WE GOT TO
GET THOSE NUMBERS UP WE'RE GOING
TO FIND YOU. FOR THAT WOULD NOT
AGAIN FOR A 100% BALLOON TO GET
THOSE NUMBERS UP. AND SO AS WE
INCREASE. THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
AND THE SCHOOL SITES PROVISIONAL
HOME TO SCHOOL THUS THAT MEANS
WE'RE GOING TO BE PAYING MORE
DRIVERS TO BE DRIVING KIDS. AND
THEY WON'T ALL BE BUS DRIVERS BY
NO MEANS BECAUSE WE HAVE A
SHORTAGE OF BUS DRIVERS WE HAVE
A SHORTAGE OF BUSES. WE WANTED
TO MAKE SURE THAT WHOEVER WE
HIRED WE MADE SURE THAT THERE
WAS A LEVEL OF SAFETY. FOR THEIR
VEHICLES AND FOR THE DRIVERS AND
THAT'S REALLY THE PURPOSE OF THE
BILL. SO WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE
TO HAVE OUR WITNESSES IN
SUPPORT. AND AGAIN THANK YOU
VERY MUCH TO THE COMMITTEE. SO

FOR PEOPLE. INCLUDING TRAINING
THE MULTIPLE SUBJECTS LIKE

PROCEDURES. TO BE CLEAR OF
TUBERCULOSIS TO COMPLETE A
MEDICAL EXAMINATION. TO BE

WITH SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND CHILD
WELFARE AGENCIES TO PROVIDE

YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE AND THOSE
WITH SPECIAL NEEDS WHO ARE
UNABLE TO ACCESS TRADITIONAL BUS
ROUTES. LAST YEAR THE
APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE SAW
THIS BILL BUT DECIDED THAT A
STUDY WAS FIRST REQUIRED TO
DETERMINE IF THERE IS A SAFETY
PROBLEM IN STUDENT
TRANSPORTATION AND HOW TO BEST
ADDRESS THAT PROBLEM THAT STUDY
WAS NEVER DONE. THIS BILL
CONTAINS A NUMBER OF
INACCURACIES THE FIRST IS THAT
THE BILL FALSELY CLAIMS THAT WE
ARE UNREGULATED HOP SKIP DRIVE
IS A LICENSE TNC REGULATED BY
THE PUBLIC UTILITIES COMMISSION
AS CONFIRMED IN THE BILL
ANALYSIS FOR BOTH PUBLIC SAFETY
AND EDUCATION COMMITTEE. THE
CHARTER PARTY CARRIERS ACT
LISTENS VERY EXEMPTION HOWEVER

CLAIMS THAT WE NEED TO IMPROVE

COUNTY IS ASKING FOR THIS BILL
OR HAS STATED ANY SAFETY
CONCERNS. DATA IN OUR ANNUAL
SAFETY REPORT CONFIRMS THAT WE
HAVE NEVER HAD A CRITICAL SAFETY
INCIDENT IN OUR OPERATING
HISTORY. THERE'S NO EVIDENCE OF
ANY SORT OF UNIQUE WEAKNESS AND
HOP SKIP DRIVE APPROACH OR THE
EXISTING QC REGULATION. N. H.
TSA DATA SITES BUSES ARE THE
SAFEST MODE OF TRANSPORT BUT IT
ONLY LOOKS AT THE TOTALITY.
THERE IS MORE TO SAFETY THAN
JUST THAT CHP REPORTS ON SCHOOL
BUS SAFETY ONLY LIST CRASHES AND
CRASH RELATED. INJURIES NOTHING
ON DRIVING UNDER THE INFLUENCE
HARASSMENT ASSAULT CRASH HIT FOR
IT NOT CRASH RELATED INJURIES OR
ANY OF THE METRICS THAT WE
REPORT TO THE P. YOU SEE UNDER

ISSUES WE OPERATE IN TWELVE
STATES ALL OF WHICH HAVE MORE
PER PEOPLE TRANSPORTATION
FUNDING THE CALIFORNIA. AND
DISTRICTS ARE STILL UTILIZING
SERVICES LIKE HOP SKIP DRIVE
DISTRICT NEED TOOLS IN THEIR

DEPENDED AND EXTENDED FOSTER
CARE. AND A PROUD MEMBER OF
CALIFORNIA YOU CONNECTION TODAY
I'M HERE ON BEHALF OF YOUTH
IMPACTED BY CALIFORNIA'S FOSTER
CARE SYSTEM- AND A BROAD
COALITION OPPOSING SENATE BILL
EIGHTY EIGHT UNLESS AMENDED
WHICH CAN HAVE A HARMFUL IMPACT.
ON SCHOOL STABILITY FOR FOSTER
YOUTH. I GREW UP IN AND OUT OF
FOSTER CARE SINCE THE AGE OF
EIGHT MONTHS OLD AND ABRUPT
CHANGES WERE ACCOSTED HIM IN MY
LIFE. I WAS PLACING MULTIPLE
HOMES AND INSTITUTIONS. WHAT
SORRY I WAS PLACED MULTIPLE
HOMES AND INSTITUTIONS THAT
SEPARATED ME FROM MY FAMILY AND
MY LOVED ONES AND ALSO MY
COMMUNITY. PLACEMENT INSTABILITY
IS AN UNFORTUNATE REALITY FOR
MANY YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE AND
HAS THE IMPACT ON EVERY ASPECT
OF IT A YOUTH LIFE INCLUDING
THEIR EDUCATION. THE STATE
LEGISLATOR RECOGNIZE THE BENEFIT
OF SCHOOL STABILITY WHEN IT
PASSED ASSEMBLY BILL FOUR NINETY
IN TWO THOUSAND THREE. A LAW
THEY GIVE YOU THE FOSTER CARE
THE RIGHT RIGHT TO REMAIN IN
THEIR SCHOOL OF ORIGIN EVEN WHEN
PLACED ON THE SCHOOL DISTRICT.
THE IMPORTANCE OF SCHOOLS
ABILITY WAS ALSO RECOGNIZED BY
CONGRESS WITH THE PASSAGE OF THE
FOSTERING CONNECTIONS TO SUCCESS
ACT IN TWO THOUSAND EIGHT. AND
THE EVERY STUDENT SUCCEEDS ACT
IN TWO THOUSAND FIFTEEN- WHICH
CREATED A FEDERAL RIGHT FOR ALL
CHILDREN IN FOSTER CARE TO
REMAIN IN THEIR SCHOOL OF
ORIGIN. FOR THE FIRST HALF OF MY
HIGH SCHOOL EXPERIENCE I HAD TO
DIVERT YOU RISE HIGH IN SOUTH
CENTRAL LOS ANGELES. A CHARTER
SCHOOL BUILT SPECIFICALLY TO AT
G. CASE. YOUTH IN FOSTER CARE
AND JUVENILE JUSTICE SYSTEM.
ALTHOUGH I WAS MOVING TO
MULTIPLE FOSTER CARE PLACEMENTS
ARE WAS ABLE TO ATTEND SCHOOL TO
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES LIKE HOP
SKIP DRIVE WHICH ALLOWED ME TO
KEEP THE SAME SCHOOL EDUCATIONAL
RELATIONSHIPS AND FRIENDS WHILE
I WAS IN CARE. MORE THAN HALF OF
MY PEERS USE HEALTHCARE DRIVE TO
GET TO AND FROM SCHOOL AND WHAT
WOULD HAVE BEEN A ONE TO TWO
HOUR BUS DRIVE CREATED- WAS. A
TWENTY MINUTE CAR DRIVE WITH HOP
SKIP DRIVE. HOWEVER THE PANDEMIC
HIT AND EVERYONE WAS FORCED TO
ATTEND SCHOOL VIRTUALLY. I HAD
THE OPPORTUNITY TO REPLACE MY
OLDER BROTHER IN SACRAMENTO
COUNTY AND FINISH MY HIGH SCHOOL
EXPERIENCE HERE. SENATE BILL.
EIGHTY EIGHT WILL NOT ONLY
IMPACT ORGANIZES SINCE THAT
PROVIDE TRANSFER. SIR FOR.
POPULATION AND SCORED. BUT THIS
BILL WOULD NEGATIVELY IMPACT
CARE GIVERS AND ADULTS IN A
YOUNG PERSON'S LIFE TO PROVIDE
TRANSPORTATION SERVICES FOR
FOSTER YOUTH. WE ALL KNOW THE
NEGATIVE OUTCOMES IN EDUCATION
FOR YOUTH IN THE FOSTER CARE
SYSTEM. I WAS TOLD MANY TIMES
THAT I WOULDN'T GRADUATE BE A
PRODUCTIVE MEMBER OF SOCIETY.
AND I WOULD JUST END UP IN
ANOTHER FOSTER CARE STATISTIC.
BUT HERE I AM IN FRONT OF YOU I
GRADUATED FROM C. K. MCCLATCHY

WASN'T DESIGNED FOR ME TO BE

CARTER WITH THE ALAMEDA COUNTY

BEEN IN OPPOSE POSITION BUT ALSO
WILL BE REMOVING OUR OPPOSITION
POSITION PENDING THE AMENDMENTS
. WITH ALL RIGHT. SAY NO FURTHER
PUBLIC. TESTIMONY IN OPPOSITION.
OR ANY TWEENER IS. BRING IT BACK
TO COMMITTEE MISTER GUARDIA.
SENATOR YOU WORK HARD ON THIS SO
THE- CARE BASED ON THE TESTIMONY
HERE TODAY- UP TO TWO QUESTIONS
ONE OF THEM- HAVING TO DO WITH
THE ARGUMENT THAT UP FOR SICK
KIDS AND- ADA STUDENTS WILL BE
AFFECTED. BY THE SPILL OF
LISTENING TO THE COMMENTS AND
THOSE THAT HAVE REMOVED THEIR
OPPOSITION- WILL NEED TO SEE THE
AMENDMENTS THAT YOU MENTIONED
BUT- JUST WANT TO BE CLEAR ON
THE RECORD THAT THIS IS NOT
GOING TO AFFECT THE WAY THE
TRANSPORTATION FOR THOSE FORCE
OR STUDENTS AND THOSE WHO. ABA
I'M IT IS CERTAINLY- THERE WERE
THAT WAS IN AGAIN THINKING THAT
COMMITTEE STAFF AND CHEER- AS
WELL AS MANY OTHER STAKEHOLDERS
INVOLVED IN MY STAFF. THAT THE
AGENCIES. THAT SERVE FOSTER
YOUTH AND THE COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS WHOSE
RESPONSIBILITY IS TO THE
EDUCATION OF FOSTER YOUTH AS
YOU'VE HEARD- ALL WITHDRAWING
THEIR OPPOSITION AND THEIR
CONCERN WAS EXACTLY IN THAT AREA
SO I THINK WE HAVE ADDRESSED THE
RIGHT CONCERNS. YET JUST WANTED
TO HAVE THAT ON THE RECORD TO
THE OTHER THING IS ON- SMALL
MAKERS- I BELIEVE THAT YOU
MENTION OF A BE EXEMPTED FROM
FROM TRANSPORTING THE STUDENTS
TO SCHOOL PICKING THEM UP AND
THEY WANTED TO AFFECTED IN THE
WAY THIS DOES NOT AFFECT OUR DAY
CARE. PROGRAMS I HAD SOMEONE
MENTION THAT AND I JUST WANT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THAT'S ON THE
RECORD OR SOME OF. THANK YOU.
MISTER HOOVER. THANK YOU- SO IF
YOU QUIT- I IT IT'S I'M GONNA
START WITH A COUPLE. FOR THE
ARE- SPECIFIC AS IT RELATES TO
THE P. C. ISSUE AND WHAT. THE P.
YOU SEE KIND OF ALREADY REQUIRES
YOU TO DO AND HOW THE SUPPOSED
TO PLUCK IT IS CAN YOU CAN I
CLARIFY THAT FOR ME YES SO I
MEAN WE NEED TO THE SAFETY
INTENT OF EVERYTHING IN THIS
BILL WE JUST DO IT UNDER QCF
FORTY AND WE DO IT IN A WAY THAT
MAKES SENSE FOR OUR PARTICULAR.
MODEL AT THERE IS ALSO AN
ONGOING OPEN WILL MAKING ACT IF
YOU SEE FOR UNACCOMPANIED MINORS
SO IF THERE ARE ANY SAFETY
ISSUES. THE COMMITTEE COULD
AMENDED THE BILL TO HAVE TO HAVE
THIS BE ADDRESSED AT THE PC WITH
SPECIFIC ITEMS THAT THEY WOULD
LIKE THE PC TO TAKE A LOOK AT.
OUR BUT WE DO FINGERPRINT BASED
BACKGROUND CHECKS WE ARE IN THE
POLL NOTICE PROGRAM SO WE HAVE
ON GOING AT MOTOR VEHICLE RECORD
TAX. WE ARE REQUIRED BY THE PC
TO DO TRAINING ON SAFE VEHICLES
TO DO TRAINING ON SEXUAL
HARASSMENT AND ASSAULT. I'M WE
DO- WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO ANNUAL
DATA RECORDING THAT IS ABOVE AND
BEYOND EVEN WHAT IS IN THE SCOPE
OF THIS BILL. AND AND WE PUBLISH
THAT REPORT PUBLICLY. AND WHILE
NOT REQUIRED TO DO- BY THE
PUBLIC CHILES COMMISSION WE HAVE
TELEMATICS IN OUR VEHICLE THAT
TRACKS EVERY RIDE LIVE IN REAL
TIME AND TRACKS THE DRIVING.
YOUR THE SIX RISKY AS DRIVING
BEHAVIOUR. TELEMATICS BEEN SHOWN
TO BE 98% EFFECTIVE IN DETECTING
IMPAIRMENT. AND MUCH BETTER USE
BECAUSE IF EVERY RIDE EVERY DAY
EVERY SINGLE TIME VERSUS BEING
SUBJECT TO. RANDOM DRUG TESTING
AND THE POINT 3% LIKELIHOOD OF
BEING SUBJECT WHICH HAS NOT ANY
GIVEN DAY. OKAY THANK YOU.
THANKS FOR. THAT ONE MORE
QUESTION. YOU TALK TO THE DAY-
THIS EDSOURCE ARTICLE THAT WAS
BROUGHT UP YOU KNOW I REMEMBER.
IN IN READING THAT ARE. THERE
WAS ALSO A LOT OF CONVERSATION
ABOUT THE- THE AMOUNT OF FOSTER
YOUTH THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION
CURRENTLY YOU KNOW OUR
ORGANIZATIONS LIKE YOURS
CURRENTLY GET TO SCHOOL. AND I
THINK THIS IS PROBABLY ONE OF MY
BIGGER CONCERNS WITH THIS
LEGISLATION SO. I WAS KIND OF
CURIOUS IF YOU COULD SPEAK TO
LIKE THE CURRENT STATISTICS ON.
HOW MANY FOSTER YOUTH ACTUALLY-
TRANSPORTED USING THESE SERVICES
YES IT'S A GREAT QUESTION I CAN
GET A JOB THAT I IT ALSO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER CREATORS AT
QUESTION BECAUSE WHILE THE BILL
REMOVES EXEMPTIONS FOR SOCIAL
WELFARE AGENCIES AND SOCIAL
WORKERS. THEY'RE NOT THEY'RE NOT
STAFF TO PROVIDE THIS KIND OF
TRANSPORTATION HUBS CAN DRIVE IS
PROBABLY PROVIDING YOU KNOW
ALMOST 90% OF THE TRANSPORTATION
FOR FOSTER YOUTH AND IF WE CAN'T
OPERATE UNDER THESE RULES. THOSE
KIDS AREN'T GETTING TO SCHOOL
THERE'S A GREAT REPORT IN TWENTY
NINETEEN L. A. COUNTY AT
DEPARTMENT OF CHILDREN AND
FAMILY SERVICES BODY CABLES
EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR PUBLISHED
ABOUT A PILOT DURING THE HIGHLY.
THEY LOOKED AT HOW MANY FOSTER
YOUTH COULD BE TRANSLATE
TRANSPORTED USING CARE GIVER
REIMBURSEMENT THE CARE GIVERS
ARE ARE EXEMPTED IN THIS BILL
HOW MANY CAN BE REACHED AT
TRANSPORTED USING L. A. U. S. T.
PASSING. AND HOW MANY COULD BE
TRANSPORTED USING A SERVICE LIKE
HOP SKIP DRIVE THIRTY FIVE
CAREGIVERS. PROVIDED
TRANSPORTATION TWENTY FIVE
STUDENTS WERE USING AN L. A. U.
S. T. PASSING OVER THOUSAND
FOSTER YOU'VE GOT TO SCHOOL
USING HOUSE GET DROPPED. SO
TAKING THE SERVICE AWAY OR
PUTTING THESE ONEROUS
REQUIREMENTS ON US THAT WE DON'T
KNOW THAT WE CAN OPERATE ON OR
NOT WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANY OF THESE
AMENDMENTS OR THE LANGUAGE IN
THESE AMENDMENTS. REALLY DOES.
FOSTER YOUTH AND THERE IS NO
SCHOOL. IN PLACE FOR PROPOSED.
ADDRESS OKAY NATION ON THE
AUTHOR SPONSORS BEEN ABLE TO
PREPAY THERE'S- BUT IT WILL HURT
. THANK YOU. AND SO I GUESS FOR
THE SENATOR YOU KNOW. WITH THAT
BEFORE THIS HOUSE ON A SCHOOL.
AND ONE OF THE BAY CHALLENGES
THAT WE FACE. AS SCHOOL BOARD
MEMBERS WERE- WE HAD A MAJOR
DRIVER. FOR TRANSPORTATION. WE
WERE CONSTANTLY STRIVE TO FIND
IN HIRE. YOU KNOW MEET THE EX
NEED IF PRIOR TO THE I JUST. SO
I GUESS I'M JUST LOVE GET YOUR
FEEDBACK ON HOW YOU. WE'RE GONNA
DO THAT IN STILL FIND ENOUGH TO.
IN ALSO- CAN MAYBE THESE
COMMENTS ON THE QC. IF YOU.
THANK YOU- YOU WE ARE HEARING
FROM ONE COMPANY. TWENTY AND SEE
THAT PROVIDES THE SERVICE THERE
ARE MANY MORE. AND- THIS- WE
HAVE BEEN IN MANY COMMITTEE
HEARINGS. AND IF YOU LOOK
CLOSELY AT BOTH THE PUC'S. BOTH
THE MANDATE FOR THEM AND THEIR
OWN. REGULATIONS FIRST OFF THEIR
OPEN RULEMAKING ON UNACCOMPANIED
MINORS IS TO ALL TNC SO IN OTHER
WORDS YOU PER LEFT IN OUR AND
NOT SPECIFIC. TO THOSE WHO ARE
COMPENSATED BY ELLIE AS TO DRIVE
STUDENTS. SO THAT'S ONE ISSUE
SECOND ISSUE IS THAT THE P. UC'S
CURRENT REGULATION FOR TNCS WHO
ARE COMPENSATED BY ELLIE AS- IS
. THE FIRST TO- ELLIE A SAFETY
STANDARDS AND TO PUBLIC
EDUCATION CODE OUR PUBLIC
EDUCATION CODE HAS NO
SPECIFICATION FOR SAFETY
STANDARDS FOR THESE TYPES OF
COMPANIES NEEDS DRIVERS WHICH IS
THE NEED FOR THE BILL. NOW WELL
AS WE KNOW IN HER FREE- HEARING
THAT WE HAVE AROUND ANY TYPE OF
BILL THAT PUTS A NEW EXPECTATION
ON A PRIVATE SECTOR CUT THAT.
YOU KNOW IT LOOK NONE OF US WHAT
WE DON'T WE PREFER NOT TO BE TO
GET NEW REGULATIONS WE PREFER
NOT TO HAVE THE WAY WE OPERATE
CHANGE- AND- I YOU KNOW I CANNOT
SPEAK FOR AN OPERATOR AS TO- THE
THAT THIS WOULD MAKE THEM CEASE
DOING BUSINESS HERE BUT IN ALL
THE PREVIOUS- INTERACTIONS WITH
TRYING TO SEE WHERE WE COULD GET
AT A MEETING OF THE MINDS. THE
BOTTOM LINE FOR THE TNC
OPERATORS FOR SUCH COMPANIES
LIKE THEY ARE WITNESSES
DESCRIBING WAS THEY DID NOT WANT
TO BE FORCED TO HAVE TO HAVE
THEIR DRIVER'S BE EMPLOYEES.
THAT IS NOW REMOVED FROM THE
BILL THAT IS NO LONGER A
REQUIREMENT OF THE BILL. AND
WHEN WE OFFERED VARIOUS OTHER
THINGS WHILE WE'RE STILL IN THE
SENATE CORPORATE WE. SO THAT IS
REMOVED AS IS MANDATED REPORTER
AND IS A VARIETY OF OTHER THINGS
ARE NOW REMOVED FROM THE BILL
THE AMENDMENTS WE ARE TAKING AND
YET WE'RE STILL HEARING BUT
WE'LL LET THAT- AS YOU HEARD
FROM THE VARIOUS- COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS OF SCHOOLS AND
SOCIAL SERVICE AGENCIES. THEY
CLEARLY- OUR DAY FEEL THAT THE
AMENDMENTS ARE NOT GOING TO PUT
THEM IN A POSITION OF WHERE
FOSTER. OUR FOSTER YOUTH WHO ARE
THE STATE'S RESPONSIBILITY WOULD
BE LEFT ABANDONED. THANK YOU I'M
IN I DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU HAD ANY
THOUGHT OR ANY OF THAT
PROPONENTS HAVE ANY THOUGHTS ON
THE DRIVER SHORTAGE ISSUE
BECAUSE I THINK THAT IS AN
ONGOING PROBLEM I DON'T.
INSTANCES THIS I MEAN I OPENED
WHEN I HAPPENED WAS TOTALLY
KNOWLEDGE MENT OF VARIOUS
SHORTAGE. INTERACTED I AM
COMPLETELY BOTH NOT ONLY AWARE
BUT IT JUST THAT WE ARE
DISTRICTS IN OUR ELEAZAR WILL BE
UTILIZING CONTRACTED SERVICES
THEY WILL BE OUT. AND THERE'S
ANY NUMBER OF THEM IT'S TNCS ARE
NOT THE ONLY CONTRACTED SERVICE
THAT. BURKE USE- BY OF COURSE
THERE'S NO LIMITATION IN THE
BILL DATE THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS
STILL CAN USE CONTRACTED
SERVICES ABSOLUTELY. I'M LAST
QUESTION WOULD BE FOR ACCESS OR
CSPA OR THE COUNTY
SUPERINTENDENTS I GUESS WHOEVER
WANTS TO ANSWER IT BUT- I GUESS
MY QUESTION IS THAT WHAT I
UNDERSTAND WELL MAYBE WITH THE
EXCEPTION CSPA BUT WHILE I
UNDERSTAND ACCESS. AND COUNTY
SEATS ARE REMOVING THEIR
OPPOSITION. I MEAN IS THERE AN
EXPECTATION THAT THIS IS STILL
IN ITS CURRENT FORM- IT'S
AMENDED FORM GOING TO INCREASE
COSTS. ON SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN
ANYWAY I'M JUST CURIOUS IF
THERE'S ANY DEFINITIVE ANSWER ON
THAT. I SEE MS BEAR WITH ACCESS
TO PROTEIN THE MIKE. HI SORRY I
WAS IN THE HALLWAY- IT MAY
INCREASE COSTS AND WE THINK THE
BILL STRIKES A GOOD BALANCE
BETWEEN SAFETY AND ACCESS- AND
YOU KNOW. WE'RE COMFORTABLE WITH
THE COMPROMISE AND- BUT YES I
MEAN ANYTIME YOU CREATE YOUR
APARTMENT THERE MAY BE A COST TO
THAT BUT WE THINK IT STRIKES A
FAIR BALANCE. OKAY THANK YOU SO
MUCH- SO I APPRECIATE THE
CONVERSATION IN THE RESPONSES I
THINK. YOU KNOW- ONE OF THE
COMMENTS MADE IS THAT YOU KNOW.
OUR BUS DRIVERS AND THIS IS
ACCURATE WRITER DEVELOPING
REALLY GREAT RELATIONSHIPS WITH
OUR STUDENTS I THINK THAT'S
FANTASTIC. I THINK RELATIONSHIPS
ARE FANTASTIC BUT I THINK WHAT
FAMILIES AND DISTRICTS ARE
REALLY. LOOKING FOR IS
AFFORDABLE AND RELIABLE WAYS TO
GET THEIR KIDS TO SCHOOL AND
TRANSPORTATION AND SO. YOU KNOW
I DO WORRY THAT- YOU KNOW THIS
IS GOING TO HAMPER THAT IN SOME
WAY- I REALLY DO APPRECIATE YOU
WORKING WITH ACCESS ON THIS AND
STRIKE YOU KNOW HELPING ADDRESS
SOME OF THEIR CONCERNS- I HAVE
REACHED OUT TO MY LOCAL
DISTRICTS AND- YOU KNOW WILD.
YOU KNOW THEY'RE THANKFUL FOR
THE WORK THAT HAS BEEN DONE THEY
THEY STILL DO HAVE A NUMBER OF
CONCERNS- JUST WITH THE
POTENTIAL COST INCREASES AND
POTENTIAL- YOU KNOW FOR NOT
BEING ABLE TO GET AS MANY KIDS
TO SCHOOL ON TIME AND SO. I
THINK FOR THOSE REASONS I WON'T
BE ABLE TO SPORTS TODAY BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THE EXTENSIVE WORK
YOU'VE DONE ON IT THANK YOU.
THANK YOU. SEEING NO FURTHER
REQUESTS FROM THE COMMITTEE- I
CAN MY TWO BEDS SATTAR- I KNOW
THAT- YOUR STAFF AND MY STAFF.
SPECIFICALLY MARKET RESEARCH
HERE- WORK TO. VERY LONG HOURS
OVER THE FOURTH OF JULY WEEKEND
IN PARTICULAR TO- TRIED TO
ACCOMPLISH WHAT WE SET FORTH. AT
THE BEGINNING OF OUR-
NEGOTIATIONS WHICH WAS. TO
SUPPORT. THE INCREASING THE-
SAFETY STANDARDS A TO MAKE SURE
THAT THAT ALL STUDENTS ARE ARE
PROTECTED- WHILE AT THE SAME
TIME MAKING SURE THAT WE'RE NOT.
LEAVING ANY STUDENT. WITHOUT A
RIDE. AND- IN PARTICULAR THE
THERE WERE THERE IS A LOT OF
DISCUSSION ABOUT THE PRIVATE
TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES- THE
ORIGINAL BILL HAD LANGUAGE IN IT
THAT. WOULD HAVE REQUIRED THAT-
L. E. AS- ONLY CONTRACT WITH
COMPANIES THAT HAVE DIRECT
CONTROL OVER THE MANNER MEANS OF
EMPLOYMENT- AND- SATURDAY- YOU
YOU YOU AGREED TO TAKE THAT OUT-
SO THAT- DISTRICTS CAN CONTINUE
TO. CONTRACT WITH PRIVATE
TRANSPORTATION COMPANIES NOW IS
IT GOING TO BE MORE EXPENSIVE- I
SUSPECT THAT IT MAY- BUT- MY I
I'M I'M LOOKING. PRIMARILY TO
OUR SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS ARE
COUNTY ARE OUR SUPERINTENDENTS
AS WELL AS I REALLY APPRECIATED
THE- THE COMMENT FROM. THE I
BELIEVE IS THE CHILDREN'S
LAWCENTER ADVOCATES FOR FOSTER
YOUTH WE WANT TO MAKE SURE IN
PARTICULAR AND CENTER I KNOW
THAT THAT THE U. FEEL AS
STRONGLY ABOUT THIS AS ANYONE IN
THE IN THE LEGISLATURE THAT WE
WANT TO MAKE SURE THAT WE DON'T
LEAVE ANY. STUDENT WITH- YOU
KNOW DISABILITY- THE HOMELESS
KIDS FOSTER KIDS WE DON'T WANT
TO LEAVE ANYONE WITHOUT A RIDE-
AND SO- I LOOK TO THE
ADMINISTRATORS- TO. MAKE SURE
THEY'RE THE ONES THAT RUN THE
TRANSPORTATION PROGRAMS- AND- I
WAS LOOKING TO THEM- TO MAKE
SURE THAT WE WERE NOT LEAVING
ANY CHILD BEHIND WITHOUT A RIDE-
AND- AND SO THAT IS- WHY I WANT
TO THANK YOU SIR FOR A TAKING
AMENDMENTS AND- AND WORKING WITH
US. HOW TO MAKE THIS. A BETTER
BILL SO- PROBABLY SUPPORTED-
CENTER WAS LIKE CLOSE. S. ZERO
VOTE. THANK YOU. MATTIS SECTOR
PLEASE CALL- WE NEED A MOTION

. OKAY WHILE WE WHILE FOLKS ARE
CLEARING OUT OF THE ROOM I'D
LIKE TO WELL. GIVE A SPECIAL
WELCOME TO THE SUMMER INTERNS
WITH THE OFFICE OF THE LESSEN
THE COUNCIL WELCOME. THE RUN.
OKAY GETTING. ONE FOR OVER. ALL
RIGHT SIR THE IS YOURS. THANK
THANK YOU VERY MUCH I MISSED
CHAIR AND MEMBERS- THIS BILL IS
I WILL GET TO THE SUGGESTED- WE
HAVE- THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF WELL
I THINK AT FIRST AND FOREMOST
ALL US WANT TO MAKE SURE. THAT
OUR THRIVE THE PURPOSE OUR
PROVIDING PUBLIC EDUCATION IS
TO- TO HAVE STUDENTS SUCCESSFUL
IN THAT PUBLIC EDUCATION AND
THERE HAS BEEN A LOT OF RESEARCH
AS TO WHETHER APPROPRIATE
DISCIPLINE MEASURES AND WHAT
WORKS WHAT DOESN'T AND WHAT-
WHAT'S THINGS WHAT PRACTICES WE
MAY HAVE NOW THAT HAVE A
PARTICULAR HARM- IN SPECIFICALLY
A PARTICULAR HARM ON OUR BLACK
STUDENTS OUR STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES ARE LGBTQ STUDENTS
AND OTHER STUDENTS OF COLORS FOR
THE FIRST THREE CATEGORIES I
MENTIONED. OURS WHERE THE DATA
IS MOST CLEAR AND PARTICULARLY
THAT IS IN THE CATEGORY OF WHAT
IS CALLED WILLFUL DEFIANCE
SUSPENSIONS. AND WELL I
APPRECIATE THAT WE CLEARLY WANT
TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR TEACHERS
CAN TEACH AND OUR STUDENTS IN A
CLASSROOM OR CAN LEARN THEY'RE
NOT JUST WRAPPED IT. WHAT IS THE
NATURE OF ALL OF US HUMANS IS
THAT ONE ATTITUDE I MADE DISPLAY
THAT MIGHT BE VIEWED BY ONE
PERSON AS WELL FOR DEFIANCE
MIGHT BE VIEWED AT BY ANOTHER
PERSON IS JUST. YOU KNOW MY YOU
KNOW MY PARTICULAR SELF YOU KNOW
NOT AND NOT NECESSARILY TRYING
TO BE- ACTING IN A WAY THAT IS
SAFE. TOUR OR WE USE WHEN ANY
OTHER TERM. AND SO THE WHAT THE
RESEARCH HAS SHOWN IS THAT IT
WAS A VERY SUBJECTIVE CATEGORY
AND SO OVER THE YEARS THE
LEGISLATURE HAS LIMITED IT MOST
OF THE LARGE ALL OF THE LARGE
SCHOOL DISTRICTS IN THE STATE
HAVE ELIMINATED. BUT WHAT WE
HAVE BEFORE US TODAY- WAS A BILL
THAT WOULD. BE GOOD IF SOMEBODY
CLOSE YES THEY WERE WE MIGHT
HAVE SOME WILLFUL DEFIANCE GOING
IN THE BACK THERE. MAYBE I WAIT
TO SOME OKAY. THANK YOU PLEASE
PROCEED. THANK YOU SO THE BILL.
THAT I INTRODUCED IN THE SENATE
AND WAS PASSED IN THE SENATE
WOULD HAVE ELIMINATED WILLFUL
DEFIANCE. I WE ALREADY
UNDERSTAFFED YOU'D HAVE NO
WILLFUL DEFIANCE SUSPENSIONS FOR
UP TO GRADE FIVE. AND WE HAD A
WE NOW CURRENT STATUTE DOES NOT
ALLOW WILLFUL DEFIANCE
SUSPENSIONS FOR GRADES SIX
THROUGH EIGHT BUT WITH A SUNSET
IN A FEW YEARS. ON HIGH SCHOOLS
WERE NOT INCLUDED YET AND SO
WHAT THE ORIGINAL BILL WOULD
HAVE ADDED THIS ELIMINATION OF
WILLFUL DEFIANCE FOR HIGH
SCHOOLS AND LIFTED THE SUNSET ON
THE MIDDLE SCHOOL- BUT WITH IN-
LUCK LOTS OF VERY PER.
CONVERSATION WITH THE CHAIR
WE'VE AGREED BECAUSE WE HAVE
NOT. HAD THE EXPERIMENT STATE.
OF ELIMINATING WILL DEFIANCE IN
HIGH SCHOOL THAT WE WOULD HAVE A
SUNSET ON BASS AND SO IN OTHER
WORDS IT WOULD BE THE BILL THAT
I'VE INTRODUCED- THERE THAT CAME
OUT OF THE SENATE BUT WITH AN
EXTENSION OF THE SUNSET. ON THE
MIDDLE GRADES AND THE SAME
SUNSET ON OUR HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS AND OF COURSE I COULD
SPEAK LONGER ON IT BUT I WILL
LEAVE THAT AND I WILL GO TO MY
WITNESSES IN SUPPORT AND I WILL
THANK THE COMMITTEE STAFF IN THE
CHAIR BUT FIRST I WILL- BUT I
JUST DO WANT TO MENTION BEFORE I
HAVE. MY WINDOWS JUST IN SUPPORT
FOR AND FOR ON THE RECORD WHICH
I KNOW THAT YEAR UNDERSTANDS
VERY WELL THIS BILL DOES NOT
PREVENT A TEACHER FROM THE
CLASSROOM SUSPENSION SO IN OTHER
WORDS IF A STUDENT IS DISRUPTING
THAT CLASS A TEACHER. CAN
SUSPEND THAT STUDENT FROM THAT
CLASS AND ALREADY AN AD CODE IT
SPELLS OUT THE PROCEDURES FOR
THAT. AND THOSE ARE NOT TOUCHED
IN THE BILL THEN THERE ARE
SPECIFIC PROCEDURES FOR THAT-
AND EVEN. WITH THIS ACTION IT
WOULD STILL PRESERVE THAT. AND
SO WHAT THAT I WOULD LIKE TO-
MY- ARE. JIM CRAWFORD WHO SAY
BLACK PERILLO SCHOOL BOARDS. AND
JEWELERS TO FROM THE DOORS WERE
TO FOUNDATION. HELLO MY NAME IS
MIKE ROBERT AN EIGHTEEN YEAR
OLD. STUDENT WITH SINCE YOU
MCCARTY THE ORGANIZATION THE
ORGANIZATION I'M PART OF THE
BLACK PEARL SCHOOL BOARD HAS
BEEN WORKING TO PROTECT THEM
FROM BEING SUSPENDED FOR
DEFIANCE BECAUSE WE HAVE SEEN
HOW IT EFFECTS AND HARMS. YOUNG
PEOPLE OF ALL AGES THE DUCKS IN
THE PARTICULAR OFTEN TARGETED
AND LABELLED AS DEFIANCE PARENTS
AND STUDENTS HAVE SHARED ARE YOU
THERE BEING SUSPENDED FOR
DEFIANCE FOR THINGS SUCH AS
RUNNING HIDING. UTILIZING FOR
THE CLASS TARTNESS AND XCERRA
CALIFORNIANS NEED TO PASS
BUDGETS FOR DEFIANCE BECAUSE
THERE'S A WILL BENEFIT TO IT. IT
RESULT IN MENTAL HEALTH IN A
MINUTE CLASSES AND MORE. HOW MY
SCHOOL AND PER THE POLICY DEBATE
SEEM VERY NO FORGETTING
PASSIONATE DURING DEBATE ROUNDS
AND PAPER I WENT TO DEBATE
TOURNAMENT ARE YOU SEE BURKE AND
MIGHT. PARTNER A BLOG ON I. LOST
WHEN OF AROUND NUMBER ANY LONGER
WE BUT THE- WE WERE TO ADDRESS
ACCORDING TO THE JUDGE WHEN THE
OPPOSING TEAM TO LIKE WERE JUST
AS AGGRESSIVE AS WE WERE BUT
BECAUSE YOU'RE TWO BLACK KIDS
WHO ARE PASSIONATE BY BASED
PACIFIC TOPIC. WE ARE LABELED
AND TARGETED AS AGGRESSIVE ONE
INDIVIDUAL I KNOW WHAT OFTEN
BECOME SUSPENDED FOR BEHAVIOR
USUALLY ANGER TOWARDS TEACHERS
AND PEERS WHICH WILL LEAD TO
FIGHTS. AS A RESULT THE
PRINCIPALS AND TEACHERS WITH THE
SPEND HIM HOPING THAT IT WOULD
CALM HIM. IT DID THE OPPOSITE
THEY DO NOT LOOK INTO HIS HOME
LIFE WHICH WAS A PACE HE DID NOT
NEED TO BE LONG. AND BECAUSE THE
ONLY SOLUTION WAS SUSPENSION
THIS LED TO HIM NOT HAVING FACED
WITH THE SYSTEM AND THAT'S OF
HIM DROPPING OUT AS A RESULT HE
TELLS PEOPLE TO THIS DAY WHY
WOULD I STICK AROUND. WHEN SO
MANY TEACHERS AND STAFF MEMBERS
NEVER STUCK AROUND FOR ME.
INSTEAD OF SUSPENDING STUDENTS
FOR THINGS LIKE FEEDING CLASS
AND DEFIANCE. WE SHOULD HAVE
SOMEONE ON CAMPUS. THAT THEY
TRUST TALK TO THEM. FINALLY
REPUBLICAN. FIND A SOLUTION- IT
BECAUSE IF NOT IT SEEM LIKE
THEY- CARE. I'M A BLACK AND
LATINO STUDENTS WHICH SAYS. FOR
OF. HEAVILY AND AFFECTS PEOPLE.
ME I WOULD HEART WHAT. THIS CAR
IS GOING THAT PEOPLE DON'T
UNDER. THAT MY PEOPLE FILL.
EXPIRY WILL COST. AND MAKE. WITH
BECAUSE- THE IMPACT. IT'LL HAVE
ON THE COMMUNITY. WHICH THE CAST
OF THE- ARE. BUT YES. SB TWO

THE SOLUTION. DON'T OUR STUDENTS
. FURTHER THANK YOU SEE SOME.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH MR- MY NAME
WHEN. IS DOUGLAS WORKED. OF THE

MORE. A SUSPENSION THE NEXT OF
STUDENTS THAN DO AND THE OTHER
OF CALIFORNIA. AND W. HAT
ACTUALLY. OUR CURRENT SCHOOL TO.
BECAUSE HAD EXPERT. TWENTY FIVE
HUNDRED STUDENTS IN ONE YEAR.
BLACK ABOUT STUDENT THE MAJORITY
OF THOSE TO WE WANT ALL THROUGH
. A WITH THE CALIFORNIA LEGAL
LEGAL DOESN'T. AND THE NUMBER.
US TO SPEND AND- SCRAP TWENTY
UNDER. TO TWENTY ONE. SO WE WERE
SUCCESSFUL IN THAT WOULD GOVERN
CAL CITY A BECAUSE THEY ARE
EIGHT OUT OF TEN BLACK STUDENTS.
WERE BEING EXPELLED SUSPENDED
EIGHT OUT OF TEN. THAT NUMBER
HAS ALSO DROPPED SO WE WANT TO
THANK THE COMMITTEE AND THE
SERVERS SKINNER FOR WORKING ON
THIS AWFUL DEFENSE ISSUE FOR SO
MANY YEARS. BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
THE BLACK ABOUT STUDENTS OR 40%
MORE LIKELY TO BE A SUSPENDED
AND EXPELLED AND HAVING OF THE
OF THE- THE IN SCHOOL.
SUSPENSION SO TO SPEAK ABOUT
PUTTING THE KIDS ON THE STREET
WINDLE HAS REALLY REALLY HELPED
AND NURTURED VERY POSITIVE
OUTCOME THAT HAVE THE COME OF
THIS. A CALIFORNIA
ADMINISTRATORS. HAVE REPORTED.

BECAUSE- MA'AM THIS IS NOT THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS BILL. UP
IN THE BILL CAN BE AMENDED TO
REPEAL OTHER THAT IS NOT THE
SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS BILL- AND
YOUR TWO MINUTES ARE UP NEXT
WITNESS PLEASE. EVEN LETTER.
IT'S THE SAME. ARMED WITH THE
CHAIRS PERMISSION I THINK IT IS
ON THE SAME LINE OF- SO USUALLY
I DON'T WANT TO PREDETERMINE THE
CONTENT OF HER SPEECH HERE SO.
OKAY SHE'S NOT COMFORTABLE THANK
YOU THANK YOU FOR MAKING
COMFORTABLE. ALL RIGHT THE
PUBLIC IN OPPOSITION TO THE BILL
. C. O. GENTLEMAN COMING FORWARD
. HELLO MY NAME IS JOE PURCHASE
I'M ACTUALLY HERE FOR SOMETHING
ELSE BUT I AM A HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHER. PLEASE DON'T PASS THIS
BILL ARE OUR CLASSROOMS ARE
ALREADY A MESS THANK YOU. THANK
YOU. ANY FURTHER. PUBLIC
COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL. SEEING NONE BRING IT BACK
TO THE COMMITTEE. QUESTIONS FROM
THE COMMITTEE. WELL MOTIONS MADE
BY MR LEE- BY SURE DOLLY. THANK
YOU- THANK YOU SENATOR I KNOW
WE'VE HAD EXTENSIVE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT THIS AND I
DID REACH OUT TO MY OF LOCAL
SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND- I'M IN
DIRECT CONTACT WITH MY
SUPERINTENDENTS AND THEY GOT
BACK TO ME- QUICKLY. AND IT'S
ABOUT A FIFTY FIFTY SPLIT WHICH
IS- INTERESTING BECAUSE MOST OF
THEM SAID WE'VE WE'VE MOVED AWAY
FROM USING THIS- FOR OUR
SUSPENSIONS OR TRY TO DO
INTERVENTIONS MORE ANY FOR MORE
MY RULE SCHOOLS. THE ISSUE
THAT'S WHERE THE WHERE THE
OPPOSITION CAME IN BECAUSE THEY
DON'T HAVE AS MANY TOOLS AND
OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTERVENTION-
I THINK YOU KNOW WE'VE WE'VE HAD
THIS DISCUSSION PART OF IT SO
I'M NOT TO BE ABLE TO SUPPORT IT
TODAY I DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOU.
WHERE YOU'RE GOING AND I
APPRECIATE THAT AND I DO KNOW
THAT- IT'S CHALLENGING RIGHT NOW
IN OUR CLASSROOMS AND WE'VE
TALKED ABOUT THAT SOME OF OUR MY
PERSONAL STORIES WITH MY
CHILDREN AS WELL SO- THANK YOU
SO MUCH I KNOW THAT YOU'RE
YOU'VE WORKED REALLY HARD ON
THIS- BUT I WON'T BE ABLE TO
SUPPORT TODAY. THE THANK YOU
MISTER HOOVER THEN MISS PARTS OF
. THANK YOU- DID YOU. KNOW I
APPRECIATE THE SUNSET I THINK
THAT THE IMMINENCE OF THE SUNSET
IS THAT CORRECT OKAY SO I DO
APPRECIATE THAT I THINK. THAT'S
IMPORTANT AMENDMENT TO MAKE SURE
THAT WE CAN YOU KNOW SEE HOW
THIS GOES BUT- I DO HAVE SOME
CONCERNS AND LIKEWISE YOU KNOW I
I'VE HEARD SOME CONCERNS FOR MY
LOCALS ABOUT. THIS TAKING TOOLS
AWAY FROM ADMINISTRATORS AND
TEACHERS- I GUESS MY ONLY
QUESTION IS THERE ANY REASON WHY
THIS CAN'T ALREADY BE DONE AT
THE LOCAL LEVEL CAN LOCAL SCHOOL
DISTRICTS YOU KNOW OR SCHOOL
BOARDS. DETERMINE ON THEIR OWN
TO MOVE AWAY FROM AWFUL DEFIANCE
AND- I GUESS WHY IS THAT NOT
ENOUGH LIKE WHY DO WE NEED TO
STEP IN THAT THAT I GUESS I WAS
THE MY ONLY QUESTION- AND I WILL
ANSWER THAT IN. HI- AS I OPEN.
OUR OKAY I THINK IT'S EVERY
LARGE DISTRICT IN THE STATE IS
ALREADY ELIMINATED WILLFUL
DEFIANCE. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE
SPECTRUM GREATS SO ALL THE WAY
THROUGH HIGH SCHOOL. BUT AS OUR
WITNESS- TOURISTS WHERE TO POINT
IT OUT. SO WE'RE BACKING UP FOR
A MINUTE. SO I WAS PROBABLY MORE
THAN THE MAJORITY OF STUDENTS IN
CALIFORNIA ALREADY NOT SUBJECTED
TO THIS SO THEN OBVIOUSLY YOU
COULD SAY AS YOU HAVE R. ASKING
WHY ARE WE THEN. REQUIRING IT
STATEWIDE. BECAUSE IT IS FAIR TO
THE STUDENT IF WE PUT OUR
STUDENTS FIRST. THEN NONE OF OUR
CALIFORNIA'S STUDENTS SHOULD BE
SUBJECTED TO SOMETHING. THAT THE
DATA SHOWS IS HARMFUL TO THE
STUDENT ANNIS DISPROPORTIONATELY
USED AND AS WE HEARD FROM OUR
WITNESS STORES WHERE TO. ON IT
EIGHT IT WAS EIGHT OUT OF TEN
BLACK STUDENTS IN CERTAIN OF THE
DISTRICTS IN CENTRAL CALIFORNIA.
THE CENTRAL VALLEY WE'RE
LITERALLY EXPELLED SO NOT ONLY
WERE THE WEST THIS SUSPENSION
USED BUT EVEN FURTHER. AND IN
THE NUMBER THEY HAD TO GO TO
COURT SO- IF WE TAKE FOR EXAMPLE
ACCESS AND IT'S- DATE DATE
SHOULD ARTICULATE THIS
THEMSELVES BUT IN THE MANY
CONVERSATIONS I HAD WITH THEM.
THEY SAID THEY TO THEIR BOARD
YOU KNOW STRUGGLED LONG AND HARD
WITH THIS BUT THEY CONCLUDED
BECAUSE THEY THEY DO HAVE.
DISTRICTS AND SUPERINTENDENTS
WHO WANT TO CONTINUE TO USE THE
TOOL BUT THEY FELT WE NEEDED
THEIR JOB WAS TO. PUT THE
STUDENTS IN NEEDS AND THE
STUDENTS INTEREST FIRST AND
PROTECT STUDENTS AND SO ON
BALANCE THEY FELT THAT THERE WAS
MORE HARM FROM THIS PARTICULAR
CATEGORY OF SUSPENSION AND HELP.
AND I JUST WANT TO NOTE IN YOU
PROBABLY ARE AWARE BUT EVERY
OTHER CATEGORY OF SUSPENSION IS
STILL ON THE BOOKS. THIS BILL
DOES NOT COVER ANY OTHER
CATEGORY IN THOSE CATEGORIES
INCLUDE SUCH THINGS AS- OCBC
HARM OR THREAT OF HORROR.
VULGARITY OF BULLYING OBSCENITY
LANGUAGE OF SO THERE'S REALLY A
VERY EXTENSIVE. ARRAY OF A DISH
NO SUSPEND THAT ARE OF THE- TO
THE SCHOOL AND NOT AFFECTED BY
THIS BILL. BUT IT ALSO STILL
ALLOWS FOR THE CLASSROOM TEACHER
AND FOR TALKING HIGH SCHOOL WE
KNOW THAT USUALLY THEY HAVE
MULTIPLE DIFFERENT TEACHERS
MULTIPLE CLASSES. AND IT IS
POSSIBLE THAT YOU COULD HAVE.
THE PROBLEM IN ONLY ONE CLASS
AND NOT IN ALL THE CLASSES SO
IT'S SORT OF THAT THING WHY
WOULD YOU BE REMOVING FROM THE
ENTIRE YOU KNOW ALL THE ALL THE
CLASSES IF THE PROBLEM IS IN ONE
CLASSROOM. SO THIS ALLOWS FOR
THAT USE OF IT WHERE IT IS
UNIQUE OR SPECIFIC TO THAT ONE
CLASSROOM. THANK YOU THAT'S
REALLY HELPFUL AND I APPRECIATE
THAT RESPONSE- I WOULD SAY YOU
KNOW I KIND OF SHARE THE
CONCERNS THE VICE CHAIR I THINK-
I'M SURE YOU CAN FIND PEOPLE IN
MY DISTRICT ARE SUPPORTIVE OF
THIS AND THAT ARE NOT SUPPORT OF
THAT SO IT'S KIND OF. IT
CERTAINLY IS A DIFFICULT
DIFFICULT ISSUE I ABSOLUTELY
APPRECIATE YOUR DESIRE IN YOUR
GOAL TO REDUCE SUSPENSIONS I
THINK WE HAVE TO DO MORE ON THAT
I THINK. THE EVIDENCE IS PRETTY
CLEAR THAT SENDING A STUDENT
HOME IS NOT WHILE IT MAY BE
ADDRESSED THE DISRUPTION IT
CERTAINLY IS NOT NECESSARILY
ADDRESSING THAT CHILD'S NEEDS-
AND SO. TO THE TO THE EXTENT
THAT THIS COMMITTEE IN THIS
LEGISLATURE CAN WORK TO DO THAT
AND MAYBE WORK TO EXPAND ONSITE
SUSPENSIONS OR OTHER
INTERVENTIONS I THINK IS REALLY
GOOD- BUT I THINK YOU KNOW FOR
ME. TO TAKE AWAY THESE TOOLS FOR
SOME OF MY LOCAL ADMINISTRATORS
AND KIND OF TAKE AWAY THEIR
LOCAL CONTROL ON THIS. AFTER
HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS YOU KNOW I
JUST DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE ABLE
TO GET THERE TODAY BUT I DO
APPRECIATE THAT THE WORK THE
DONE ON IT AND. THE ADDITION OF
THE SUNSET. RESHAPE THAT AND
THROUGH FOR ME TO CHAIR. OUR YOU
KNOW WE OBVIOUSLY DE. CERTAIN
WAY. AND WE FOLLOW THE PRO. OF
THE- BUT DOCTOR HALF IS HERE FOR
ME CLA HAS BEEN STUDYING. THE
NOT ONLY STUDY. THIS ITSELF AND
ITS IMPACTS AND WHO IT'S
UTILIZED ON BUT IT'S ALSO BEEN
ENGAGED IN. STUDYING AND
PROVIDING SCHOOLS RESOURCES FOR
ALTERNATIVES. AND THE- OUR-
STATE BUDGET. JUST THIS YEAR IN
THE PAST WE HAVE FUNDED SOME OF
THIS RESEARCH AND AGAIN IN THE
STATE BUDGET WE'RE PROVIDING
ANOTHER ADDITIONAL ONE MILLION.
TO THIS RESEARCH WHICH IS AT
UCLA AND UC BERKELEY IT'S A
COLLABORATIVE PROGRAM. TO
BASICALLY NOT ONLY STUDY IMPACTS
BUT ALSO TO REALLY. DO THAT WORK
TO HELP TEACHERS. YOU KNOW
PROVIDE SCHOOLS AND TEACHERS
LOTS OF ALTERNATIVES SO THAT
STUDENT SUCCESS IS OUR NUMBER
ONE. GOAL AT. THE HAPPY TO HEAR
BRIEFLY FROM THE DOCTOR THAT'S
OKAY BUT YES ON SOME OF THAT
WORK BUT- THANK YOU. THANK YOU I
THANK YOU FOR THE QUESTION LIKE
THAT- OVER THE PAST FIVE YEARS
AT UCLA CENTER FOR THE
TRANSMISSION SCHOOLS REVENGE THE
RESEARCH PARTNER AND THE
CALIFORNIA SOMETHING THAT SHOULD
HAVE BEEN SELLING OUT MULTI
TIERED SYSTEMS OF SUPPORT. AND
ESSENTIALLY AND THAT IS A BIG
INVESTMENT FROM THE STATE
ALREADY. AND WHAT WE FOUND FROM
THAT WE HAVE THE PRIVILEGES
INTERVIEWING ADMINISTRATORS AND
COLLECTING QUALITATIVE AND
QUANTITATIVE DATA. EVERY YEAR
AND FORMER ADMINISTRATORS AND
BOTH RURAL AND MORE URBAN
DISTRICTS WE DO HEAR THAT THESE
PROBLEMS FACING THESE CHILDREN
AT HOME OUR STUDENTS AT HOME.
OUR OF THOSE PROBLEMS IMPORTANCE
AND THAT WE HEAR ADMINISTRATORS
NOT WANTING TO USE WILLFUL
DEFIANCE AS A TOOL SO IT IS A
TOOL THAT THEY DON'T REALLY WANT
ON THE TABLE AND WE HAVE SPOKEN
TO MANY ADMINISTRATORS WHO SAY.
IT IS HARMFUL THEY UNDERSTAND
THE IMPACT OF THE HARM AND THEY
UNDERSTAND THE IMPACT OF THE
HARM IS EVEN MORE SO AFTER THE
RETURN TO FOR SOME LEARNING. AND
THEY BELIEVE THAT THOSE TRAUMAS
THAT OUR STUDENTS HAVE FACED
DURING COVERT NINETEEN HAVE PUT
THEM IN A PARTICULAR SITUATION
WHERE. LEARNING MUST EXPAND
BEYOND JUST ACADEMICS WE MUST BE
ABLE TO LEARN FROM THEIR
MISTAKES THEY MUST BE ABLE TO
LEARN FROM. THEIR SOCIAL
EMOTIONAL SUPPORTS AND THAT IS A
PLACE. IN SCHOOLS THAT WOULD
ALLOW THEM TO DO THAT SAFELY TO
LEARN THOSE LESSONS. AND SO I
THINK THAT WOULD BE- MOSTLY THE
MOST IMPORTANT. INFORMATION UP
LIKE THAT- MS CALL. I'LL TO
THANK THE AUTHOR FOR BRING THIS
PHOTO AND- SOME OF YOU MY
MENTION IT USUALLY TEMAS. THAT I
THE THIRD RIVER THIRTY YEAR
CLASS TEACHER AND SO THIS BILL.
TO ME A REQUIRED ME TO DO QUITE
A BIT OF CONVERSATIONS NOT ONLY
WITH THE CHAIR BUT ALSO WITH THE
AUTHOR AND OTHERS- BECAUSE ONE
OF THE- CONCERNS I HAVE OR WAS
CONCERNED ABOUT WAS THE TEACHER
IN A CLASS AND I'M TALKING.
MOSTLY WITH YOUNGER KIDS BUT
ALSO HOLDERS- IS WHAT THEY STILL
HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY TO REMOVE
A STUDENT- IF NEEDED TO BE- AS
YOU NO MA'AM MOST ELEMENTARY
EVEN THROUGH JUNIOR HIGH
STUDENTS OUT BETWEEN THIRTY AND
THIRTY FIVE STUDENTS. IF THERE
IS A STUDENT THAT'S REALLY.
CAUSING QUITE A BIT OF GUILTY IF
THEY DON'T HAVE THAT OPPORTUNITY
THEN ALL OF THE FOCUS AND
ATTENTION GOES ON THOSE ONE OR
TWO STUDENTS SOMETIMES MORE. BUT
I WOULD IT WAS CLARIFIED TO ME
THAT THIS WOULD NOT CHANGE THAT
OPPORTUNITY- THE OTHER THING
THAT REALLY COMPELLED ME TO LOOK
DEEPER ON THIS BILL WAS TO
REALLY UNDERSTAND THE DATA WHICH
WE KNOW THAT WHEN WE LOOK AT THE
DATA- IT IS MANY TIMES STUDENTS
OF COLOR. THAT ARE SUSPENDED OR
EXPELLED AT MUCH HIGHER RATES
THAN OTHER STUDENTS SOMETIMES
FOR THE SAME EXACT INFRACTION.
OVER THE YEARS MUCH MORE WORK
HAS COME OUT ON STUDENT TRAUMA
ADULT TRAUMA WITH THE ASUS
TESTING AND IT DOESN'T TAKE TOO
LONG TO FIND OUT THAT WHEN
STUDENTS ARE ACTING OUT THERE'S
USUALLY A PROBLEM THAT'S
FOLLOWING THEM. I KNOW THAT-
JUST GIVE A PERSONAL EXAMPLE MY
HUSBAND IS WHAT THEY CALL A
MENTOR COACH IN THE JUNIOR HIGH
RIGHT NOW. IN HIS ASSIGNMENT
ALWAYS ON BREAK RIGHT NOW BUT.
LAST YEAR AND NUMEROUS TO HI WAS
WORKING WAS TO IN THE CLASS US
WITH TEACHER. AND AS THE AUTHOR
JUST STATED THAT SAME STUDENT
COULD HAVE AN INTERACTION IN
PERIOD ONE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
FINE NO PROBLEM PERIOD TO
EVERYTHING ESCALATED AND THE
STUDENT WAS BEING ASKED TO BEING
SENT OUT- ON IN THEN REMOVE FROM
ALL THEIR CLASSES. BUT EVERY
TIME THESE INTERACTIONS HAPPENED
A AND HE PULLED THEM OUT HE
WOULD FIND A STORY THAT MANY OF
US- WOULD UNDERSTAND THE
BEHAVIOR SOMETIMES- EVERYTHING
FROM LEAVING THEIR HOMES AT FIVE
IN THE MORNING. AND NOT
RETURNING BACK TILL NINE O'CLOCK
BECAUSE OF THE TRANSPORTATION
ISSUES AND TRYING TO. FIGURE OUT
NOW THE KATE NAVIGATING A NEW
JOBS NEW HOMES DIVORCES THESE
TYPES OF THINGS SO WITH THAT I
WILL BE SUPPORTING THE BILL-
BUT- I DO UNDERSTAND THE
CONCERNS OF- THE SPLIT IF YOU
WANT TO SAY AS WAS NOTED WITH-
C. T. A. AND WHY THERE ARE
CONCERNS. ABOUT MAKING SURE THE
TEACHER STILL HAS- AUTONOMY IN
THE CLASSROOM TO MAKE THOSE
DECISIONS BUT I WILL BE
SUPPORTING IT TODAY. THANK YOU.
ANY OTHER COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE. THEN ALL OF. IT'S MY
TURN. OF SUTTER I- FIRST OF ALL
I MEAN I COMPLETELY- YOU KNOW
WHAT ACT KNOWLEDGE AND AGREE
WITH YOUR YOUR WITNESSES- IN
SUPPORT OF- YOUR BILL THAT YOU
KNOW OBVIOUSLY WE DON'T WANT.
ANY KIND OF- LAWLER POLICY THAT-
YOU KNOW IS BEING APPLIED IN A
DISCRIMINATORY WAY- YOU KNOW
WHETHER IT'S AGAINST. YOUNG
BLACK KIDS OR WHETHER IT'S
AGAINST LATINOS IN THE CENTRAL
VALLEY OR ANYWHERE- AND SO. THE
DATA- APPEARS TO BE CLEAR THAT-
THAT THERE IS AT LEAST A- YOU
KNOW. DISPARATE IMPACT AGAINST
BLACK AND LATINO OF STUDENTS. AT
THE SAME TIME AS YOU KNOW
SENATOR- I WAS VERY CONCERNED.
WITH I ADDED A FEW BROUGHT TO
UCLA HERE SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE
OF THE SURVEY THAT THEY
CONDUCTED IN TWENTY TWENTY TO OF
TEACHERS. ARE WHERE. THE CTA
UCLA CENTER FOR TRANSPIRATION OF
SCHOOLS A SURVEY IN TWENTY
TWENTY TWO ON THE STATE OF OUR
TEACHERS- IN TERMS OF.
ESPECIALLY IN TERMS OF TRYING TO
ADDRESS ALL THE BURN OUT THAT
TEACHERS- SUFFERED DURING THE
PANDEMIC AND- HOW MANY ARE
LEAVING THE PROFESSION. HOW THEY
CITED THAT THE TOP TWO
PRIORITIES FOR THREE TEACHERS
WHO INDICATE THAT THEY WILL BE
LEAVING THE PROFESSION NUMBER
ONE WAS BETTER PAY. BUT RIGHT
BEHIND AT NUMBER TWO WAS THEIR
DESIRE TO STRENGTHEN DISCIPLINE
FOR STUDENTS WITH DISRUPTIVE
BEHAVIOR. AND- I. BEEN HEARING
THIS A LOT FROM TEACHERS THAT
I'VE BEEN TALKING TO- YOU KNOW
TEACHERS AND WHO ARE CURRENTLY
SERVING IN THE LEGISLATURE AS
WELL AS- THOSE THAT I'VE SPOKEN
THROUGHOUT THE STATE THAT THERE
IS YOU KNOW. THEY ALL TALK
ABOUT- HOW THERE IS A WITH
THERE'S BEEN A REAL SURGE AND-
BEHAVIOR ISSUES- IN THE
CLASSROOM AND THAT'S AT SCHOOLS
THROUGHOUT THE STATE YOU KNOW I
THINK- IT'S NO SURPRISE TO
ANYONE YOU KNOW WHO HAS AN
INKLING OF UNDERSTANDING OF ALL
THE TRAUMA THAT THAT STUDENTS
WENT THROUGH- DURING THE
PANDEMIC- AND SO. I SHARED- YOU
KNOW ALONG WITH THE SOME OF MY
COLLEAGUES- I ON ON THE STOCK
YES- YOU KNOW TAKING AWAY THAT
TOOL FROM. TEACHERS AND SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS TO BE ABLE TO YOU
KNOW. MAKE SURE THAT THE REST OF
THE KIDS WHO ARE NOT CAUSING
TROUBLE YOU KNOW HAVE THAT.
ORDERLY LEARNING. ENVIRONMENT
AND THAT THE TEACHERS NOT HAVING
TO SPEND ALL OF THEIR TIME AND
ATTENTION ON THE STUDENT HOUSING
YOU KNOW- DESTRUCTIVE BEHAVIOR
ON TAKING THEIR ATTENTION AWAY
FROM THE REST OF THE CLASSROOM
THAT ONE THAT'S THEY'RE TRYING
TO LEARN TRYING TO GET THE BEST
EDUCATION THAT THEY CAN GET- AND
SO AS YOU KNOW CENTER I WAS
VERY- WE- SPENT A LOT OF TIME
TALKING. AND YOU OF COURSE SHE
HAD TO BRING TO LARA'S WHOEVER
THE INTO THE GAME RIGHT YOU
KNOW. SHE COMES TO MY OFFICE
YESTERDAY WE TALKED FOR ABOUT AN
HOUR YOU KNOW NOT ONLY ABOUT THE
CHALLENGES OF STUDENTS IN THE
CENTRAL VALLEY BUT I'VE HEARD
FROM THE DISABILITY- RIGHTS-
ADVOCATE- TALKING ABOUT YOU KNOW
HOW. THE DISPROPORTIONATE NUMBER
OF- DISABLED STUDENTS YOU KNOW
WHERE TEACHERS MAY NOT- HAVE THE
TRAINING TO RECOGNIZE STUDENTS
ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM AND IN SO
THAT IF THEY ACT UP THAT THEY
CAN. YOU KNOW BE- THIS WOULD
DISPROPORTIONATELY- AT
DISCIPLINE YOU KNOW IDENTIFIED
AS EXHIBITING WELL WILLFUL
DEFIANCE. AND SO. YOU KNOW. BUT
THE BOTTOM LINE FOR ME WHAT MADE
ME. COME AROUND TO SUPPORT YOUR
BILL WITH THE SUNSET- IS. YOU
KNOW. MY DEFERENCE TO THE THAT
THE FOLKS WHO ARE ACTUALLY IN
THE CLASSROOMS AND AT THE END
AND AT THE SCHOOL SITES I MEAN
THE FACT. THAT THE. ASSOCIATION
OF CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
ADMINISTRATORS IS NOT ONLY IN
THERE THEY ARE IN SUPPORT OF
YOUR BILL- AND THE FACT THAT THE
TEACHERS. WHERE THE FEDERATION
OF TEACHERS ARE IN SUPPORT OF
YOUR BILL. AND THAT THERE IS NO
OPPOSITION TO YOUR BILL I MEAN
TO ME THAT WAS VERY IMPORTANT.
BECAUSE YOU KNOW IF THE TEACHERS
ARE NOT GOING TO POSE YOUR BILL.
THEN IT'S HARD FOR ME TO OPPOSE
YOUR BILL- AND SO YOU KNOW I
SHARE A LOT OF THE CONCERNS
THAT- MS QUIRK-SILVA AS AS THE-
THE- THE CLASSROOM TEACHER- ON
ON THIS COMMITTEE HAS AS RATES-
WANT TO SEE HOW THIS. PLAYS OUT
IN THE NEXT. FIVE YEARS- BUT- I
AM HERE TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL.
THANK YOU SO WELL IN THE-
FURTHER COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE SAYING NONE. MATTER
SERVICE SKINNER WHO'S LIKE
CLOSE. THANK YOU CHAIR AND
MEMBERS AND- THE STUDY THAT YOU
REFERENCED WAS DONE BY THE
CENTER THAT A- DOCTOR HALF IT-
REPRESENTS OR IS A DIRECTOR OF.
AND CERTAINLY- WE DON'T
NECESSARILY NEED TO TAKE THE
TIME NOW BUT I KNOW THAT THEY'VE
DONE SUBSEQUENT STAYS IN THERE
SOME DIFFERENT INTERPRETATIONS
BUT AT SOME POINT. I CHEERED
YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO HIM OR
ASKING WHEN THERE'S- CERTAINLY
WHAT YOU READ WAS AT IS ACCURATE
FROM WHAT THOSE ASPECTS YOU READ
BUT THERE'S MUCH MORE DATA THAT
HE COULD PROVIDE. SO JUST WANT
TO PUT THAT IN THERE ON THE
RECORD AND- I THINK SPEND A GOOD
DEBATE I WOULD OF COURSE LOVE IT
IF WE WERE JUST LIFTING IT OFF
THE MIDDLE SCHOOLS BUT THIS RATE
WILL EXTEND TO SUNSET. AND I
HOPE THAT- DO WE HAVE GOOD
PEOPLE- AS TIME GOES ON WHO CAN-
REVIEW AND WORK WITH OUR
TEACHERS AND TO MAKE SURE THIS
IS WORKING SO THAT WE COULD
POTENTIALLY ELIMINATED

FUTURE WITHOUT. I ASK FOR YOUR

CHILD CARE IS IN THIS IS
ESSENTIAL TO A FUNCTIONAL
ECONOMY WITHOUT AFFORDABLE AND
AVAILABLE TO HEALTHCARE PARENTS
CANNOT WORK. WE NEED TO THE
CENTER FOR AMERICAN PROGRESS THE
TELL YOUR WORKFORCE'S LOST
EIGHTY EIGHT THOUSAND JOBS
NATIONALLY SINCE FEBRUARY OF
TWENTY TWENTY CHILD CARE WORKERS
ARE SOME OF THE LOWEST PAID
WORKERS ACROSS THE COUNTRY THERE
ARE CURRENTLY EMPTY EARLY
CHILDHOOD CLASSROOMS BECAUSE
PROVIDERS CANNOT HIRE TEACHERS
TO STAFF THEM. THIS BILL WILL
HELP EARLY LEARNING AND
CHILDCARE PROVIDERS AND FAMILIES
BY TRANSITIONING PROVIDERS TO A
SINGLE COST BASED REIMBURSEMENT
RATE AND SUSPENDING FAMILY FEES
UNTIL AN EQUITABLE FAMILY FEE
SCHEDULE CAN BE ESTABLISHED AT
WITH ME TODAY'S JULIET TERRY
FROM THE TALCHER RESEARCH CENTER
TO SPEAK IN SUPPORT OF THE BILL.
A GOOD AFTERNOON SHERRY MEMBERS
I THINK YOU CENTER KNOWN FOR
OFFERING THIS VERY IMPORTANT
BILL ANGELINA TERRY WITH THE
CHILD CARE RESOURCE CENTER WE
PROBABLY SERVE OVER FIFTY
THOUSAND CHILDREN OF FAMILIES
BOTH IN NORTHERN LOS ANGELES
COUNTY AND SAN BERNARDINO
COUNTY. THE ISSUES AFFECTING
CALIFORNIA'S CHILD CARE SYSTEM
HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AT LENGTH
THIS LEGISLATIVE SESSION SB
THREE EIGHTY TARGETS A CORE
ISSUE WITHIN OUR SYSTEM BY
REQUIRING THE STATE TO DEVELOP A
NEW RATE SYSTEM BASED ON THE
TRUE COST OF PROVIDING CARE.
TODAY WE RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR
YOUR AYE VOTE IN SB THREE EIGHTY
BECAUSE IT WORKS TO TARGET
CENTRAL ISSUES WITHIN OUR CHILD
CARE SYSTEM FIRST IT TARGETS THE
NEED TO ACCESS AND SUSTAIN A
HIGH QUALITY EASY WORK FORCE.
THERE BEEN DECADES OF RESEARCH
CONDUCTED BOTH NATIONALLY AND
RIGHT HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THAT
PROVIDE AN OVERWHELMING
CONSENSUS THAT REIMBURSEMENT
RATE FOR RATE REFORM. IS THE
MOST CRITICAL ISSUE NEEDING TO
BE ADDRESSED IN ORDER TO SUSTAIN
THE EARLY CARE AND LEARNING
WORKFORCE. THIS WORKFORCE IS
COMPRISED OF RITUALLY ALL WOMEN
THE MAJORITY OF WHOM ARE WOMEN
OF COLOR. WHO ARE HIGHLY.
COMPETENT AND EDUCATED AND THEY
DESERVE A LIVABLE WAGE. WITHOUT
LIVABLE WAGES CHILDCARE WORKERS
WILL CONTINUE TO LEAVE THE FIELD
LEAVING OUR SYSTEM WITHOUT
ACCESS TO HIGH QUALITY AND SKIP
AND A SKILLED WORKFORCE. SECOND
THIS BILL ADDRESSES LONG OVERDUE
RACIAL AND GENDER PAY
INEQUITIES. IN TWENTY TWENTY ONE
THE U. S. BUREAU OF STATISTICS
FOUND THAT THE NATIONAL AVERAGE
MEDIAN PAY FOR CHILDCARE WORKER
WAS JUST THIRTEEN DOLLARS AND
TWENTY TWO CENTS AN HOUR. NOT
NEARLY ENOUGH TO COVER THE COST
OF RENT OR ONCE BASIC NEEDS. IN
FACT IN CALIFORNIA AT LEAST A
QUARTER OF ALL CHILD CARE
WORKERS LIVE IN POVERTY. AND
HAVE TO RELY ON STATE ASSISTANCE
SUCH AS CAL FRESH TO MAKE ENDS
MEET. AS A RESULT EASY PROGRAMS
HAVE AN EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TIME
HIRING STAFF AND AS A SENATOR
MENTIONED SOME PROGRAMS. HAVE
CLASSROOM SITTING DARK DUE TO
UNDERSTAFFING. ARE SUBSIDIZED
CHILDCARE SYSTEM. WHICH ONLY
SERVES LOW INCOME CHILDREN AND
HOW THE WORK FORCE COMPROMISED
OF PRIMARILY LOW INCOME WOMEN OF
COLOR. IS SIMPLY UNJUST BECAUSE
IT'S CURRENTLY CONSTRUCTED IN A
WAY THAT DEEPENS INEQUITIES
RIGHT NOW CURRENT RATES ONLY
COVER ABOUT HALF THE COST OF
PROVIDING CARE. FINALLY THIS
BILL ADDRESSES THE NEED TO
SUSTAIN AN ESSENTIAL INDUSTRY
THAT SUPPORTS ALL OTHER
WORKFORCE SECTORS. BY
STRENGTHENING THE CHILD CARE
WORKFORCE IN ADDRESSING THIS
ANTIQUATED RATE SYSTEM. WE ARE
GOING TO BE STRENGTHENING
OPPORTUNITIES TO PROVIDE SUPPORT
TO OUR CHILDREN'S DEVELOPMENT
DURING THEIR MOST CRITICAL
STAGES OF BRAIN DEVELOPMENT.
THIS IS THE WORK FORCE THAT
SUPPORTS ALL OTHER WORK FORCES
CHILDREN FOR THESE REASONS I
RESPECTFULLY ASK YOUR AYE VOTE.
THANK YOU. ANY PUBLIC COMMENTS

WEEKS AGO I SAW I SAW HERE
PRESENT SENATOR HENRY STERN'S
BILL ON SCHOOL ST STRUCTURES TO
JAPAN PERCENT A COMPLIMENT BILL
SB FOUR NINE NINE THE COOL
SCHOOLS ACT. IT'S WE'RE LOOKING
TO ADDRESS THE HOT SERVICES ON
OUR SCHOOL CAMPUSES IMPACT
HEALTH AND SAFETY OF STUDENTS-
JUST YESTERDAY THE GOVERNOR
ANNOUNCED HIS HE READY
CALIFORNIA CAMPAIGN BECAUSE THIS
IS A HUGE PRIORITY AND IT'S A-
IT'S AN EMERGENCY WERE SEEN
RIGHT NOW- IN THIS CAMPAIGN IS
BECAUSE HE'S CALLING FOR ACTION
ACROSS THE STATE TO ADDRESS THIS
ISSUE AS BEFORE NINE NINE IS ONE
OF THOSE TOOLS. IN THE TOOLBOX
SPECIFICALLY IT'S LOOKING TO
REQUIRE SCHOOLS TO DO TWO
THINGS. CREATE AN EXTREME ACTION
EXTREMELY ACTION PLAN SITTING BY
THE EARLIEST TIME OR NEXT TIME
SCHOOLS WILL SURFACE TO
RESURFACE THEY WILL OFFER A
QUICK SOLUTION TO MOVE SCHOOLS
TO START HAVING. THE
CONVERSATIONS ABOUT IMPLEMENTING
TREE. CANOPY ON THEIR SCHOOLS.
IN A PART OF HER. OF FUNDS-
WOULD SEND THEM WE TOOK BROUGHT
THIS. BEING OF THE LACK MONEY-
FOR THIS. SCHOOLS WILL ACT ON
THIS EXTRA ACTION PLAN THOUGH
MOST SCHOOLS WHEN START REPAIRS
THAT HAVE BEEN SHOWN TO MITIGATE
THE IMPACTS. OF EXTREME HEAT IN
POPULATION THIS BILL ALSO
REQUIRES THE DEPARTMENT
EDUCATION IN CONSULTATION WITH
THE DEPARTMENT OF SOCIAL
SERVICES TO DEVELOP A TEMPLATE.
FOR EXTREME ACTION PLAN THAT
WOULD HELP GUIDE SCHOOLS- ALONG
WITH A CHILD DAYCARE FACILITIES
THAT ARE LOCATED ON SCHOOL
CAMPUSES IT ALSO REQUIRES A
PERMANENT SOCIAL SERVICES RIGHT
AND FIRE LIAISON. BUT IT'S
TRAINING EXTREME HEAT
MEDICATION. MEMBERS WILL KNOW
THAT CHANGE IS THAT AVERAGE.

WE'RE MINDFUL THIS IS NOT A ONE
SIZE FITS ALL- EVERY SINGLE
SCHOOL IS LOCATED IN A VERY
UNIQUE. A DRILL GRAPHIC AREA OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA WE-
WITHIN WITH THAT IN MIND WE'RE
ASKING SCHOOLS TO TAKE THAT INTO
CONSIDERATION TO WORK WITHIN THE
PARAMETERS OF THEIR LOCAL
ORDINANCE. TO ENSURE THAT
THEY'RE NOT A VIOLATED ANY OF A
LOCAL ORDINANCE REQUIREMENTS FOR
EXAMPLE CERTAIN SCHOOLS LIKE IN
RIVERSIDE COUNTY HAVE THE MAX
AMOUNT OF TREES THEY CAN PLANT
WE DON'T WANT THAT THEM TO
SUPERSEDE THAT NUMBER BUT TO
WORK WITHIN THAT- IN THEIR
SURROUNDING AREAS. LET'S ON TOP
OF THE GOVERNOR. CAUGHT AYE AYE
- WE ALSO REASONS ANOTHER REPORT
OUT OF UCLA IT'S A COALITION OF
NEARLY FIFTEEN AIRPORTS THAT ARE
CALLING FOR. ACTION AND THEIR
FIRST AND THIRD RECOMMENDATION

IN THIS BILL SPECIFICALLY. I
WANT TO SCHOOLS OUR STUDENTS ARE
BROUGHT THRIVING SCHOOL OVER
REMOVING THESE HARMFUL- SERVICES
IN ADDING GREEN SPACES A CURRENT
LEGISLATION BOTH IN YOUR HOUSE
IN MY HOUSE- IS. GOING THROUGH
THE PROCESS RIGHT NOW TO FIND
SOME FUNDING LIKE ASSEMBLY

CALIFORNIA PREVIOUSLY A HUNDRED
FIFTY MILLION DOLLARS WERE PUT
ASIDE FOR THIS SPECIFICALLY IN
COMPETITIVE GROUNDS- CALIFORNIA
LONG WITH OUR- ALONG WITH.
REGARD SCHOOLS HAVE PUT TOGETHER
US BEST PRACTICES FOR SCHOOL
SITES TO LOOK. AT TO BE ABLE TO
POUR DOWN AND WE HOPE THAT ON
TOP OF THE FEDERAL MONEY THAT
RECENTLY WAS MADE AVAILABLE THE
GRANT JUST ACTUALLY CLOSED ABOUT
TWO MONTHS AGO. MORE AVENUES
WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE FOR OUR
SCHOOLS STATEWIDE TO BE ABLE TO
FIND THESE BEST PRACTICES- WITH
ME AT TO TESTIFY FURTHER IS. OUR

OF WHICH EXTREME HEALTH RISKS
THAT COME WITH EXTREME HEAT
WHERE STUDENTS HAVE SUFFERED
HEAT EXHAUSTION DEHYDRATION
DIFFICULTY CONCENTRATING. ALSO
MOTHER OF A SON WITH SPECIAL
NEEDS THAT GOES TO A PUBLIC
SCHOOL IN SOUTH LA STRUGGLES
WITH THE SAME ISSUES- I HAVE
SEEN FIRST HAND THE HEALTH
IMPACTS THAT COME WITH SCHOOLS
THAT ARE BILLED TO BE RESILIENT
HEAT NOT THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE
CRIME CRISIS. JUST LAST WEEK AT
THE CENTRE MENTION FOR FOUR DAYS
IN A ROW THE PLANET REACHES
HOTTEST DAYS APART DUE TO INJURY
DANGERS HE- EACH YEAR EXTREME HE
KILLS MORE AMERICANS THAN. ANY
OTHER CRIME IF YOU'LL HAS
INCLUDING HURRICANES FLOODS
WILDFIRES BUT GETS FAR LESS
ATTENTION. BETWEEN TWENTY NINE
EIGHT TEN TWENTY NINETEEN THE
ESTIMATED POOL OF DATA THIRTY
NINE HUNDRED DEATHS FROM HEAT.
ARE BLACK CALIFORNIANS ARE MORE
LIKELY THAN ANY OF THOSE ANY
OTHER RESTART FROM HEAT FOR THE
MORE CHILDREN ARE MORE
VULNERABLE TO THE EFFECTS OF
HEAT THAN ADULTS.
PHYSIOLOGICALLY THEIR BODIES ARE
LESS ABLE TO SELF REGULATE IN
EXTREME TEMPERATURES. CHILDREN
ALSO FACE A HEIGHTENED RISK OF
SOME HEALTH CONDITIONS LIKE
ASTHMA. WHEN THEY EXPERIENCE
EXTREMELY HIGH TEMPERATURES WE
NEED URGENT ACTION FOR
IMPLEMENTATION OF EXTREME HEAT
MITIGATION SCHOOLS. WHERE
CHILDREN SPEND MOST OF THEIR
TIME WITH THE REASONABLE URGENT
TIMELINE WHICH THIS BILL SAYS TO
CHANGE THESE OUTCOMES. WE KNOW
TO BE CANCELED TO SAVE LIVES
ACROSS OUR STATE. ON ESPECIALLY
THE MOST VULNERABLE COMMUNITIES
WE HAVE TO SET THE STANDARD FOR
SCHOOL DISTRICTS TO MEET. SB
FOUR NINE NINE REQUIRE SCHOOLS
TO CREATE EXTREME HEAT ACTION
PLAN TO OFFER ESSENTIALLY COOLER
SCHOOLS. CALIFORNIA BUILDING
STANDARDS DO NOT CURRENTLY
REQUIRES SCHOOLS TO MITIGATE
HEAT EXPOSURE ON SCHOOL GROUNDS.
THE HEALTH IMPACTS OF THAT THE
CHANGE WAS CLIMATE RESILIENT
SCHOOLS I CAN RESPOND TO EXTREME
HEAT NOT A CLIMATE IMPACTS TO
SIMPLY NOT HAPPENING FAST ENOUGH
EVEN THOUGH SOME DISTRICTS ARE
DOING IN OUR CALL DISTRICTS ARE
DOING IT. IT'S UP TO OUR SEATS
THAT THE PRESIDENT FOR
IMPLEMENTATIONS THAT YOU THE
COST CALIFORNIA PROTECTED RIGHT
NOW. OTHER STATES ARE MOVING
WITH GREATER URGENCY HE TO
CONFRONT THE PUBLIC HEALTH. THAT
IS. PERILS THE MOST. IT'S TIME
WE STOP UP WITH A BILL THAT. NOW
JUST UP. BUT IMPLEMENTED. SO WE
SEE. ACTION ON THE ISSUE OF X.
HEAT SCHOOLS. IT IS FOR THESE
REASONS WE ARE TALKING THE
MEMBERS WHAT I ON SB FOUR NINE

EFFORTS- AND I'M HERE TO EXPRESS
OUR STRONG SUPPORT FOR SENATE
BILL. ONE NINETY NINE. AS PART
OF OUR WORK WITH GREEN
SCHOOLYARDS AMERICA WE KNOW THAT
10% OF CALIFORNIA'S PUBLIC
SCHOOLS HAVE LESS THAN 2% TREE
CANOPY. AND THE MAJORITY OF
SCHOOLS HAVE LESS THAN 10% TREE
CANOPY. ALSO THERE IS A
DISPROPORTIONATE BURDEN ON
COMMUNITIES WITH THE LOWEST
INCOME AND ON COMMUNITIES OF
COLOR BECAUSE THEY HAVE THE
FEWEST J. TREES AND THE LEAST
GREEN SPACE. I'M JADED ASK AND
SERVICES ON SCHOOL GROUNDS REACH
HIGH TEMPERATURES THAT ARE
HAZARDOUS TO STUDENTS HEALTH.
UNSHADED ASPHALT CAN REACH A
HUNDRED AND FORTY DEGREES ON A
SUNNY DAY WHEN THE AIR
TEMPERATURES ARE ABOVE NINETY
DEGREES AND RUBBER SAFETY
SERVICES CAN REACH ABOVE A
HUNDRED AND SIXTY FIVE DEGREES.
EVEN ON A MILD DAY ASPHALT AND
RUBBER ARE HOT. I'VE SEEN AREAS
WHERE SCHOOLS HAVE HAD TO PUT
CAUTIONARY TAPE AROUND THE
PLAYGROUND- TO KEEP KIDS OFF OF
IT- YEAH MY MOM AMONG YES ARE
CHILDREN'S SMALLER BODY SIZE
MAKES THEM MORE VULNERABLE TO
HEAT. THAN ADULTS SO THIS IS A
PROBLEM THAT AFFECTS ALL
SCHOOLS. SCHOOLYARD FOREST AND
GREEN SCHOOLYARDS ADDRESS THE
CLIMATE CRISIS IN A WAY THAT
DIRECTLY PROTECTS CHILDREN FROM
HEAT. AND SCHOOL GROUNDS OUR
PUBLIC LANDS THAT ARE EFFICIENT
AND STRATEGIC PLACES TO INVEST
IN CALIFORNIA'S SCARCE WATER
RESOURCES SINCE THE SHADE
PRODUCED BY SCHOOL YARD TREES
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO COOL
MILLIONS OF STUDENTS EVERY DAY.
LAST YEAR TEN STRANDS IN
PARTNERSHIP WITH GREEN
SCHOOLYARDS AMERICA CAL FIRE AND
CD EAT LUNCH THE CALIFORNIA
SCHOOLYARD FOREST SYSTEM. WITH A
MISSION TO SHADE AND PROTECT
STUDENTS FROM RISING
TEMPERATURES AND TO HELP BRING
EQUITABLE ACCESS TO SCHOOL YARD
FORCE THAT TO SCALE. WE COMMEND
THE LEGISLATURE ON THE
INVESTMENTS CALIFORNIA IS MAKING
TO ADDRESS CLIMATE CHANGE
ENVIRONMENTAL JUSTICE. AND
PUBLIC EDUCATION AND WE STRONGLY
SUPPORT SENATE BILL FOUR NINETY
NINE AS ANOTHER CRITICAL STEP
TOWARD THE GOAL OF PREPARING OUR
SCHOOLS FOR A NEW CLIMATE
REALITY. THE DATA INITIATIVE.
SUPPORTS RESEARCH POLICY AND
ADVOCACY EFFORTS AS IT. PROVIDES
BELT AS IT PROVIDES PATTERNS AND
TRENDS OF SCHOOL ACTIONS AROUND
CLIMATE AWARE ACTION AND
INACTION IN REGIONS WITH THOSE
WHO ARE MOST MARGINALIZED OR
EXPERIENCING THE HIGHEST LEVELS
OF ENVIRONMENTAL INJUSTICE.
WITHOUT DATA IT'S DIFFICULT CAN
I ASK YOU TO WRAP UP PLEASE
YEAH- WITHOUT. HOW WIDESPREAD
DANGEROUS HEAT EXPOSURE IS IN
OUR SCHOOL DISTRICTS AND THIS

REPRESENTING THE RIVERSIDE
COUNTY SUPERINTENDENT OF SCHOOLS

DISTRICTS SUPERINTENDENTS OF
RIVERSIDE COUNTY. I WANT TO
ASSURE THE OF THE AUTHOR AND THE
COMMITTEE THAT- OUR OPPOSITION
TO THAT BILL AND I THINK THIS IS
TRUE OF THE OTHER ORGANIZATIONS
AND OPPOSITION BECAUSE NOT
REFLECT- A FEELING ON OUR PART
THAT CLIMATE CHANGE IS NOT AN
IMPORTANT ISSUE. OUR SENIOR
IMPACTS IN RIVERSIDE COUNTY WE
HAVE FOR SCHOOL DISTRICTS THAT
ARE LOCATED ENTIRELY WITHIN A
DESERT. AND AT LEAST ONE OF THE
DESERT SANDS UNIFIED- HAS TAKEN
GREAT STRIDES TO CREATE
INDIVIDUAL HEAT MITIGATION PLANS
AT EACH OF THEIR CAMPUSES. I
THINK OUR CONCERN WITH THE BILL
AS IT IS BEFORE YOU TODAY.
REALLY GOES BACK TO A COMMENT
THAT IS IN THE ANALYSIS- THAT IS
BEFORE YOU WHICH IS THAT THE
DIVERSITY OF SIZE CONDITION AND
LOCATION OF CALIFORNIA'S ELLIE
AS- CREATE SIGNIFICANT
CHALLENGES FOR UNILATERALLY
REQUIRING SPECIFIC METHODS. TO
REDUCE THE IMPACT OF HEAT ON
STUDENTS AND SCHOOLS I ALSO WANT
TO MAKE THE POINT THAT AGAIN ALL
OF THE ORGANIZATIONS THAT ARE
CURRENTLY IN OPPOSITION HAVE
BEEN WORKING WITH YOUR STAFF AS
A WORKGROUP ON ASSEMBLY BILL.
FORTY SEVEN- TO PLACE THE
STATEWIDE EDUCATION BOND ON THE
BALLOT IN TWENTY TWENTY FOUR- I
AM AS WELL AS SOME OTHERS ARE
PART OF A CLIENT NETWORK GROUP-
SUBCOMMITTEE HAS PART OF THEIR
WORK GROUP- AND WE ARE WORKING
WITH YOUR STAFF. TO ENSURE THAT
THE LANGUAGE IN THE BOND DOES
PROVIDE EITHER AN INCENTIVE OR
SOME OTHER METHOD WITHIN THE
STRUCTURE OF THE SCHOOL
FACILITIES PROGRAM AT TO PROVIDE
THE ABILITY. TO MAKE
EXPENDITURES FOR EXACTLY ALL THE
TYPE OF GREAT THINGS THAT THE
SENATOR MITCH OF OUR AND HER-
SPONSORS HAVE TALKED ABOUT
TODAY- BUT AS IT IS TODAY- WE DO
REMAIN OPPOSED TO THE L. THANK
YOU ANY OF FURTHER WITNESSES
ENOUGH. PLEASE FORWARD. GOOD
AFTERNOON MR CHAIRMAN CHRIS
CHRISTIE FROM ABOUT THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION FOR MANY OF THE SAME
REASONS DAY BUT MY COLLEAGUE
FROM RIVERSIDE COUNTY OFFICE OF

COMMITTEE MEMBERS MICHELLE
GILLEN BEHALF OF CALIFORNIA
ASSOCIATION OF SCHOOL BUSINESS
OFFICIALS AND OUR COLLEAGUES AT-
IT. ADDITION CALIFORNIA SCHOOL
DISTRICT IN OPPOSITION. ALL
RIGHT ANY FURTHER. PUBLIC
COMMENTS IN OPPOSITION TO THE
BILL. SEEING NONE LET ME BRING
IT BACK TO THE COMMITTEE
ACTUALLY. I WANT TO THANK US
EVERY THE BILL FOR YOU KNOW I
WOULD BE SUPPORTING THE BILL
TODAY BUT I KNOW THAT COMMITTEE
NOW SUGGESTED A COUPLE OF
AMENDMENTS TO CONSIDER AND I WE
HAD A BRIEF CONVERSATION ABOUT
MOVIE FOR THERE'S SOMETHING SORT
OF CONSIDER- I WHICH IS CLAIMED
BY WOULD YOU BE CONSIDERING.
ABOUT CHANGING IT FROM MAKING A
SCHOOL SCHOOL SITE PLANS WHEN
ELLIE A BASED PLAN AND THE
SECOND PART ABOUT WHAT'S UP IS
SHE GOT TALK ABOUT TO ALSO THINK
ABOUT SOME NEW ONES IN IT. THE
BILL RIGHT NOW HAS A LOT OF VERY
SPECIFIC PRESCRIPTIONS LIKE EVEN
SHADING WINDOWS VERY SICK
WINDOWS BUT QUESTIONED
CALIFORNIA VERY DIFFERENT BIOMES
IN DIFFERENT AREAS LIKE MY
SCHOOL DISTRICTS ARE QUITE
DIFFERENT THAT PERHAPS EVEN THE
ONES IN YOUR DISTRICT- SO
PERHAPS INTERVENTIONS THE PLANTS
MY BILL DIFFERENT. GIVE SOME OF
THE NEW ONCE I DO WHAT I SAY I
DO APPRECIATE A LOT OF WE TALK
ABOUT- SPECIFIC HEAT ON A
SERVICES THAT'S A HUGE PROBLEM
OF COURSE WE SEE WITH ASPHALT OR
WITH ROBERT- SO THOSE KIND OF
PRINCIPLES WHICH ARE BASED ON
THE SCIENTIFIC. INPUT MUCH LESS
THAN A SPECIFIC TYPE OF PLAN
NEXT TO TOP WINDOW KIND OF THING
SO I JUST WANTED THAT GIVE YOU
SOME ROAD ADDRESS IF YOU'RE
GONNA BE TAKING SORT OF MEN'S
ABOUT. ELLIE AS AND ALSO ABOUT-
SPECIFIC- CONSTRUCTION
INTERVENTIONS TO. THINK IS A
MEMBER OF THAT QUESTION YOU KNOW
THE INTENT OF THIS BILL AND YOU
KNOW THIS WAS. BROUGHT UP IN THE
FIRST HOUSE. WAS TO NOT MAKE A
PRESCRIPTIVE TO WORK WITHIN THE
CONFINES OF THE LOCAL
ORDINANCES. NOT EVERYTHING THIS
IS NOT GONNA BE UNILATERAL.
ACROSS THE ENTIRE. US SCHOOLS.
IN THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA.
WITHOUT A MINUS ON THE
MEMBERSHIP THIS WILL MAKE IT
OUT- BUT YOU HAVE MY COMMITMENT
TO. ENSURE THAT THERE IS
CLEARER- INTO IN LANGUAGE IN
HERE THAT STATES THAT
SPECIFICALLY- THAT LOCAL
ORDINANCES. SHOULD BE
CONSIDERED. WHEN MOVING FORWARD
WITH THIS ADDITIONALLY. A MISS
AMERICA CONVERSATION YOU KNOW.
WHEN FACT. BEEN PUT IN A LOT OF
WORK. I DO SHARED WITH ALL YOUR
BILLS RIGHT. IT GOES WITHOUT-
AND- I CAN. I TOLD COMMIT TO
MOVING. THE ACCOUNT OF. FOR
SPECIFICS SITES. TO ELLIE AIDS-
TO ENSURE BETTER. PROGRAMMING
ACROSS THE SCHOOL DISTRICTS-
ACCOUNTABILITY AND SO FORTH- AND
I WOULD LIKE TO ALSO ADD
EMBEDDED INTO YOU THE RESPONSE
THAT. IN TERMS OF THE FUNDING I
AM VERY EXCITED TO SEE THE BONDS
IN BOTH HOUSES TO PUT A
FACILITIES BOND ON THE BALLOT TO
BRING FUNDING TO THIS WHICH IS
WHY I INVENTED MY BILL TO DO
UPON APPROPRIATION SHOULD THE
SCHOOLS IMPLEMENT THIS-
ADDITIONALLY ON. GREEN IF I'M
SAYING IT CORRECTLY THE GREEN.
SCHOOLS YARDS THERE IS ALREADY A
TEMPLATE THAT'S L. E. A. L. V.
A.'S COULD POUR DOWN TO START
RIVERSIDE THE SCHOOL THAT WAS
REFERENCED THE FANS. DISTRICT IN
RIVERSIDE IF THEY HAVE THEIR
PLANS ARE READY THIS BILL GREAT
THEY COULD BYPASS IT BECAUSE
THEY'RE ALREADY DEAD THEIR PLANT
SPECIFIC TO THEIR SCHOOL
DISTRICT THIS IS AN ASKING FOR
ANYTHING EXTRA EXTRA BECAUSE
THEY ALREADY HAVE THEIR PLANS.
ALL THAT TO SAY ASSEMBLY MEMBER
I DO COMMIT TO TAKE. THESE
AMENDMENTS INTO PROBES SHOULD
GET OUT OF THIS COMMITTEE TO
MOVE IT TO ELEAZAR AND ALSO
SUPPORT VERY SPECIFIC LANGUAGE
THAT IS NOT PRESCRIPTIVE
DESCRIPTIVE AND BINDS SCHOOL
DISTRICT ARE NOW L. THE ACE. TWO
ONE UNIFORM- TEMPLATE AND I
APPRECIATE THIS COMMITMENT
CENTER I NEED I THINK I REALLY
WITH THE PROMISE OF THE BILL
IT'S IMPORTANT TO PROTECT OUR
KIDS FROM. DEVASTATING EFFECTS
OF CLIMATE CHANGE I JUST THINK
THERE'S SOME- DETAILS TO BE
IRONED OUT TO MAKE THE BILL
STRONGBRIDGE CHEAP THE GOALS YOU
WANTED WHAT DO. A MILES DON'T
SEE THIS IN THE SELLING CONFLICT
ALL THE OTHER BILLS WITHIN I
THINK IT'S AN ONLINE WITH A LOT
OF THINGS ARE DOING ESPECIALLY.
TRIED BEFORE WITH THE SCHOOL
FACILITIES BOND AND THANKFULLY
PUT IN THE PART ABOUT TO JUMP
OPERATION BECAUSE I. I'M SURE WE
WILL GET THE BOND THROUGH AND I
THINK IT'S IN LINE WITH A LOT OF
THINGS SO I'M HAPPY SUPPORT YOUR
BILL TODAY AND THANKS FOR THIS
COMMITMENTS BECAUSE MY MOM. IS
DOLLARS I SHOULD ALL. THANK I
JUST WANT TO HAVE AN COUPLE
CLEAR QUESTIONS SO THE PART- A
PROBE FOR ALL PRIVATE. BECAUSE
RIGHT HERE IT'S LIKE RICK THAT
WHEN YOU RESEARCH. YOU GO TO
NATURAL GRASS. SO AND THAT'S
ONLY. WHEN THEY HAVE FUNDING FOR
IT SO NOTHING CAN BE
IMPLEMENTED. UNLESS THERE'S
FUNDING AVAILABLE THERE'S NO
MANDATE THERE'S ALSO NO
ENFORCEMENT COMPONENTS WITHIN
THIS BILL. OKAY I WANT TO
CLARIFY THAT BECAUSE I
UNDERLYING NATURAL GRASS WHICH
YOU'VE BEEN TO MY DISTRICTS AND
PUT MOST OF MY DISTRICT RT HAVE
NATURAL GRASS. BUT SO A LOT OF
IT. BUT RIGHT NOW BUT- I THINK.
FOR SOME SCHOOL DISTRICTS ACROSS
THE STATE IF THEY CONVERT BACK
TO NATURAL GRASS AND THERE'S
WATER AND THERE'S- EXPENSES THAT
GO ALONG WITH THAT ALL OF US.
AGREE OUR CHILDREN SHOULD BE
PLAYING ON I BELIEVE THEY SHOULD
BE PLAN AFTER BREAST. BUT THERE
IS. THERE IS THOSE EXPENSES THAT
COME ALONG WITH THAT. FOR
MAINTENANCE MOWING WATER ALL
THOSE THINGS COME WITH YOU KNOW
THOSE TRANSITIONING NO SERVICES
. PROP PROBABLY. TO GRASS. SO I
JUST WANNA MAKE SURE THAT WE'RE
NOT PUTTING IN AN UNDUE BURDEN.
ON OUR SCHOOL SITES. NOT JUST
FOR ONE TIME. EXPENSES BUT
ONGOING AS WELL TOO BECAUSE
THERE IS ALSO THAT WHOEVER'S
RESURFACING OR READ REDOING THAT
HEAT THEY HAVE TO BE TRAINED ON
EXTREME HEAT. SO I THINK MAYBE
CLARIFYING WHO THAT IS THAT. A
CLASSIFIED SO WE'VE BEEN WORKING
WITH THE DEVELOPER SORRY
SOMETHING WE DON'T KNOW. I JUST
THINK THERE'S SOME CLARIFYING
LANGUAGE THAT WOULD BE HELPFUL
WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH
DEPARTMENTS- I'M GETTING SOME.
SOME TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE YOU
KNOW WE ARE ASKING DEPARTMENTS
TO PROTECT TO ASSIGN A LIAISON.
WHO WILL BE TRAINED IN THIS SO
THIS WOULD BE PLACED UPON THE
BURDEN OF THE DEPARTMENT TO PUT
THAT PERSON IN PLACE TO HELP
GUIDE. NOW THE ELEAZAR VERSUS
THE SCHOOL SITE IN IN IN
REGARDING THE NATURAL GRASS
YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY. RIGHT I HAVE
VISITED YOUR AREA. EIGHTY GREEN
- BUT YOU ALSO HAVE TO TAKE
POLLUTION AND CONSIDER. AND
AREAS AND PERHAPS THE BURDEN OF
THE PRICES TOO MUCH SO SWITCHING
OVER TO SHAPE. GONNA FIND THE
AREAS- MAYBE THE ASPHALT IS IN
SOMETHING THEY CAN DO WHAT THAT
MOMENT IT'S WHAT'S- SPECIFIC TO
THAT AREA I WANT OUR SCHOOL
SITES ARE LEDS TO BE ASSETS AS-
POSSIBLE. ANY KIND OF MITIGATION
MOVING FORWARD WOULD BRING
RELIEF TO OUR STUDENTS- SO ANY
STEPS FORWARD ARE GOING TO BE A
WIN FOR THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA
. MS QUIRK-SILVA. AGAIN THANK
THE AUTHOR AND I SUPPORT THIS
FULLY- I WAS ACTUALLY LIKE TO BE
ADDED AS A- AUTHOR ON OUR SIDE-
I DO. CONCUR WITH MY COLLEAGUES
COMMENTS UP HERE BUT IF YOU LOOK
AT IT IT'S A TEMPLATE FOR AN
EXTREME HEAT. ACTION PLAN THE
REASON IT'S IMPORTANT THAT WE
NOT ONLY MOVE FORWARD WITH THIS
NOW BUT WE REALLY SHOULD HAVE
DONE THIS TEN YEARS AGO FIFTEEN
YEARS AGO. MANY OF THE-
RECOMMENDATIONS TAKE A VERY LONG
TIME TO INSTITUTE ANY OF US WHO
LOVE. GREEN SPACE AND GARDENS
KNOW THAT TO BE PLANTED TREE
IT'S GOING TO TAKE A DECADE OR
LONGER- TO REALLY SEE THAT FULL
GREAT GROWTH AND TO REALLY
PROVIDE THE SHADE WE'RE TALKING
ABOUT AND SADLY WE DO HAVE SOME
FULL GROWN TREES- ON CAMPUSES
AND ALL TOO OFTEN IN THE- BEFORE
WE HIT THIS CLIMATE CHANGE.
DISCUSSION THOSE TREES WERE CUT
DOWN FOR MANY REASONS SOMETIMES
A AS WE KNOW IN OUR CITIES THERE
COULD BE A SIDEWALK THAT LOOKED
LIKE IT WAS COMING UP AND
BECAUSE OF POTENTIAL LITIGATION
WE'D SEE HUNDRED YEAR TREES.
JUST BE CUT DOWN- SO WE NEED TO
DO THINGS LIKE PRESERVE AND
PROTECT THE LITTLE BIT OF SHADE
TREES WE DO HAVE ON CAMPUSES BUT
WE CAN ALSO LEARN I KNOW THAT I
WAS ON CITY COUNCIL OVER FIFTEEN
YEARS AGO WHEN WE MOVED. FROM
TAKING A GREEN LAWN AREA AND
MOVING TO CHANGE THAT TO
SYNTHETIC TURF AT THAT TIME IT
WAS VERY POPULAR AND WHAT HAVE
WE LEARNED SETS. THAT THOSE-
TURF FIELDS ARE EXTREMELY HOT
AND CAN ACTUALLY BE VERY
DANGEROUS FOR THE YOUNG ATHLETES
PLANE ON THEM SO AS WE GO
THROUGH MAKING DECISIONS WHETHER
IT'S AT THE LOCAL LEVEL AT THE
SCHOOL LEVEL WE LEARN THINGS.
BUT CERTAINLY PLANNING BEEN
AGGRESSIVE ABOUT A PLAN IN
LOOKING FOR OPPORTUNITIES I
ACTUALLY THINK I'D BE A GREAT.
WAY TO GET STUDENTS INVESTED BY
GOING OUT AND ASKING THEM HOW
WOULD THEY CHANGE THEIR SPACES.
BECAUSE IT'S NOT JUST ABOUT
LAWN. OR ABOUT TREES IT'S A-
WALKWAYS IT'S ABOUT PATHWAYS
IT'S ABOUT WHERE IT PLACES THAT
KIDS CAN CONGREGATE ON CAMPUSES
THAT ARE COOL- BUT ALSO PROVIDE
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LEARNING I
KNOW- I STARTED TO BELIEVE IT OR
NOT EVERYBODY IT WAS NEVER INTO
POLITICS BUT TWENTY FIVE YEARS
AGO I STARTED A SCHOOL GARDEN.
AND AS A FIRST GRADE TEACHER
JUST A LITTLE SCHOOL GARDEN- AND
THAT WAS IN SOME WAYS HOW I
ENDED UP GETTING ON THE PARKS
AND RECREATION COMPLEX-
COMMISSION IT WAS JUST ABOUT A
GARDEN. SO THERE'S LOTS OF WAYS
TO CREATE SPACES ON CAMPUSES
THAT CAN REALLY ELEVATE NOT ONLY
EDUCATION BUT PROTECT OUR KIDS.
THANK YOU AS A MEMBER GIVEN YOUR
BACKGROUND AS A TEACHER AND
EDUCATION THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR
THAT SUPPORT. THANKS K. ANY
FURTHER COMMENTS FROM THE
COMMITTEE. SEE NON. SENATE
RESERVOIR THANK YOU VERY MUCH

ADDRESSING THIS VERY IMPORTANT

THE HEAT HAS BEEN- ESPECIALLY
EXTREME HEAT HAS BEEN ESPECIALLY
PRONOUNCED AT. THE LAUSD SCHOOLS
IN THE SAN FERNANDO VALLEY AND
SO. YOU KNOW I THINK WE ALL
RECOGNIZE THAT IT IS A- URGENT
ISSUE- THAT NEEDS TO BE
ADDRESSED- UNFORTUNATELY I WILL
NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT YOUR BILL
TODAY- BECAUSE OF THE CONCERNS
BEING RAISED BY. THE
ADMINISTRATORS THE SCOREBOARD
ORGANIZATIONS THE
SUPERINTENDENT- BECAUSE YOU KNOW
I YOU KNOW WHY I'M A 100% 110%
IN SUPPORT OF THE INTENT OF YOUR
BILL. YOU KNOW WE NEED TO MAKE
SURE THAT- WE CAN MAKE IT
WORKABLE- FOR OUR SCHOOLS- YOU
KNOW THERE IS. LIKE PUTTING
REQUIREMENTS ON YOU KNOW WHAT IS
IT THOUSAND SCHOOL DISTRICTS TEN
THOUSAND SCHOOL SITES- IN OUR
STATE IS VERY COMPLICATED- I
WOULD HAVE PREFERRED THAT- WE
COULD WORK TOGETHER ON MORE ON
THIS BILL. WITH IT AT A TO YOUR
BILL AS I HAS SUGGESTED- BUT-
YOU KNOW. I UNDERSTAND YOU WANT
TO MOVE FORWARD WITH THE BILL
AND- BUT I JUST WANTED TO MAKE
SURE THAT I MADE IT CLEAR THAT I
SUPPORT- THE INTENT- AND THE
GOALS OF YOUR BILL- BUT I WANT
TO GET A RATE- SPY
RESPONSIBILITY AS THE CHAIR OF
THE EDUCATION COMMITTEE. TO GET
A RIDE OR TRY MY BEST TO DO GET
IT RIGHT AND SO FOR THAT REASON
I COULD BE LAID OFF TODAY. GIVE
YOU THE LAST WORD THANK YOU
MISTER JOURNAL YOU KNOW WE HAD
SOME RECENT CONVERSATIONS ON

SIR THE IS YOURS. THIS IS A IT'S
A PLEASURE TO BE HERE- I BELIEVE
THIS IS MY FIRST. BILL IN THIS
THIS YEAR IS IT IT IS OK M. IT'S
A PLEASURE TO BE. I LIKE TO BE
BY X. THAT- AS I BEGAN PREPARED
STATEMENT HIGHER TO FOR THANK
CIRCLE THAT I A WONDERFULLY KIND
AND BRAVE WOMAN FOR SHE HER. AB
OF HER DAUGHTER I DON'T THINK
THAT OUR SCHOOLS WITH THE
LEGISLATURE AS A MATTER OF FACT
I HAVE THE PLEASURE TO MEET HER
ON THAT NIGHT THAT HER THAT HER
. DAUGHTER WAS ADMITTED TO THE
HOSPITAL I WAS A RECENTLY AB
APPOINTED A BOARD MEMBER TO THE
SCHOOL DISTRICT AND SO I
REMEMBER GOING TO THIS THE
HOSPITAL MELINDA. ON THAT NIGHT
SO THIS THIS BILL IS ACTUALLY
VERY CLOSE TO HOME. AND I'M
GRATEFUL TO BE HERE RESENTING IT
. ON OCTOBER THIRTY FIRST TWO
THOUSAND NINETEEN ADALINE
ALERTED A NEARBY ADULT AT SCHOOL
THAT SHE WAS HAVING ISSUES
BREATHING OVER THE COURSE OF THE
SCHOOL DAY OUT OF THE WALK FROM
THE ATHLETIC FIELDS OUR
CLASSROOMS SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT
ADULT SUPERVISION. THIS IS THE
LENGTH OF SEVERAL FOOTBALL
FIELDS. WINNER CONDITION
WORSENED TO THE POINT SHE WAS
UNABLE TO STAND OR SPEAK SHE WAS
TRANSPORTED TO THE NURSES OFFICE
BACK UP PART. NINE DAYS LATER I
DON'T MEAN PASSED AWAY SHE WAS
ONLY THIRTEEN YEARS OLD
UNFORTUNATELY I DON'T IN THIS
CASE IS NOT UNIQUE. AS MY IS THE
LEADING CHRONIC ILLNESS AMONG
SCHOOL AGE CHILDREN AND ONE OF
THE MOST COMMON CAUSE OF SCHOOL
ABSENTEEISM. ACCORDING TO THE
CENTERS FOR DISEASE CONTROL IT
IS LIKELY THAT ONE INTENDS TO DO
SUFFER FROM ASTHMA. IN THE
UNITED STATES AS MY KILLS MORE
THAN THREE HUNDRED CHILDREN AND
YOUNG ADULTS UNDER THE AGE.
UNDER TWENTY FOUR EACH EACH
YEAR. HOWEVER ACCORDING TO THE
RECORDS MEDICAL SCHOOL THE
NUMBER MAY BE MUCH HIGHER
BECAUSE THE OFFICIAL CAUSE OF
DEATH MAY NOT REFLECT
ANNOUNCEMENTS CITED. AT U. BENT
OF AN INDIVIDUAL WITH A CARDIAC
ARREST UPON ARRIVAL AT THE
EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT. IT IS
CRITICAL THAT WE DO EVERYTHING
IN OUR POWER TO PROTECT OUR MOST
VULNERABLE STUDENTS. AS AMENDED
SB TWO EIGHTY THREE WOULD
REQUIRE LDAC DEVELOP
INDIVIDUALIZED ASTHMA ACTION
PLANS PER STUDENT WHEN PARENTS
OR GUARDIANS NOTIFY THE L. E. A.
THAT THEIR CHILD HAS ASTHMA. THE
BILL ALSO WILL ALSO ENCOURAGE AT
LEAST TO PROVIDE EMPLOYEES WITH
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT RELATED
TO ASK MARK. WILL ENCOURAGE NOT
MANDATE. JOINING ME IN SUPPORT

ADDERLEY'S FAMILY AND FAMILY
GIVES EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF

GOOD AFTERNOON MISTER CHAIR
MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE.
HOLLOWING OCTOBER. TWO THOUSAND
NINETEEN. THIRTEEN YEAR OLD
EIGHTH GRADE STUDENT AT ALLOWING
CARRASCO LOST HER LIFE DUE TO A
FATAL ASTHMA ATTACK AT SCHOOL
CAN SAMPOERNA DINO. THE
CIRCUMSTANCES OF HER DEATH ARE
HORRIFIC. BUT THE FACT THAT HER
DEATH. WAS COMPLETELY
PREVENTABLE MAKES THIS CASE.
EVEN THAT MUCH MORE. TRAGIC.
DURING HER LAST PERIOD OF SCHOOL
ON HALLOWEEN ADALINE OR SCIENCE
CLASS WENT FROM THEIR CLASS DOWN
TO THE LOWER ATHLETIC FIELD AT
MESA VIEW MIDDLE SCHOOL TO
PARTICIPATE IN A HALLOWEEN THEME
SCIENCE EXPERIMENT. WHEN SHE GOT
DOWN THERE SHE ALERTED HER
SCIENCE TEACHER THAT SHE WAS
HAVING DIFFICULTY BREATHING. THE
TEACHER THEN SENT ADALINE BACK
UP INTO THE CLASSROOM TO GET HER
INHALER. AND SHE CAME BACK DOWN
TO THE FIELD. SHE TOLD HER
TEACHER THAT THE INHALER WAS NOT
HELPING HER. THE TEACHER THEN
SENT OUT ONLY BACK UP THE HILL
TO THE NURSES OFFICE. AND THAT
IS WHEN SHE COLLAPSED AND WENT
INTO CARDIAC ARREST AS THE
SENATOR POINTED OUT AT THAT
POINT IN TIME. ADALINE HAD
ALREADY TRAVELED APPROXIMATELY.
ELEVEN FOOTBALL FIELDS. GOING
BACK AND FORTH FROM THE CLASS OF
THE FIELD. TO THE NURSE. SHE DID
ALL THAT WITHOUT ADULT
SUPERSTITION. BY THE TIME SHE
WAS FOUND. IN THE PARAMEDICS
WERE CALLED IT WAS ALREADY TOO
LATE THEY COULDN'T BRING HER
BACK TO LIFE. SHE WAS TAKEN OFF
LIFE SUPPORT NINE DAYS LATER AT
LOMA LINDA CHILDREN'S HOSPITAL.
WE LATER FOUND OUT THAT. ADALINE
ACUTE ASTHMATIC CONDITION WAS
WORSENED OR MADE- EXACERBATED BY
THE EXTREME PHYSICAL EXERTION.
THAT WAS PUT ON HER BODY BY
GOING BACK AND FORTH. IN THE
CASE SEAT SCHOOL SAFETY EXPERT
HIRED BY THE DISTRICT ITSELF
TESTIFIED THAT THE SCIENCE
TEACHER DID THE EXACT OPPOSITE.
THING THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE DONE
IN THAT SITUATION. ADALINE THIS
CASE HOWEVER IS THE SENATOR
POINTED OUT IS NOT UNIQUE THIS
IS A CHRONIC ILLNESS IT AFFECTS
MORE KIDS THAN ANY OTHER DISEASE
IT KEEPS MORE KIDS AWAY FROM
SCHOOL AND SENDS MORE KIDS TO
THE EMERGENCY ROOM THAN ANYTHING
ELSE. SB TWO EIGHTY THREE WILL
HELP SAVE THE LIVES OF STUDENTS
WHO HAVE ASTHMA IN SCHOOL
DISTRICTS BY HAVING THE SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S DEVELOPED ASTHMA
ACTION PLANS. THAT WILL HELP THE
TEACHERS AND STAFF KNOW WHAT TO
DO. IF THEY'RE EVER FACED WITH A
STUDENT EXPERIENCING AN ASTHMA
ATTACK AT SCHOOL GOOD ASK
INTEROP ABSOLUTELY- MISTER CHAIR
SO ONE BEHALF OF ADELAIDE'S

MANAGEMENT PLAN DESPITE THE
CALIFORNIA SCHOOL BOARDS
ASSOCIATION'S RECOMMENDATION
ALMOST FIFTEEN YEARS AGO AND
UNFORTUNATELY AZIMA IS STILL ON
THE RISE. I WILL NEVER FORGET A
STARTLING CHILDHOOD MEMORY THAT
INVOLVED IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
CLASSMATE WHO SUFFERED AN ASTHMA
ATTACK ON THE BLACKTOP DURING
RECESS. THE CHILD PASSED OUT
WHILE THE YARD DUTY TEACHERS TRY
TO ASSIST. EMERGENCY PERSONNEL
ARRIVED TO HELP REVIVE THE CHILD
BUT HAVING A PLAN AND
IDENTIFYING THIS CHILD IN
ADVANCE OF SUCH AN EVENT. WOULD
HAVE SAVED THE CHILD SCHOOL
PERSONNEL AND SCHOOL CHILD
ONLOOKERS FROM THE TRAUMA OF
WITNESSING SUCH A SCARY EVENT IN
THE FIRST PLACE. THIS EVENT IN
THIS CASE COULD HAVE BEEN TRAGIC
BUT THE CHILD DIDN'T SURVIVE. AS
WE KNOW HAS ALREADY MENTIONED
MANY CHILDREN DIE AND MANY USED
DIE FROM ASTHMA. SB TWO EIGHTY
THREE CAN PROVIDE IMPORTANT
GUIDANCE AND TOOLS TO SCHOOLS TO
DRAMATICALLY REDUCE THE NUMBERS
OF- BY REQUIRING LOCAL EDUCATION
AGENCIES. TO ADOPT A
COMPREHENSIVE ASTHMA MANAGEMENT
PLANS WHEN THEY ARE INFORMED OF
THE DISKS OF STUDENTS WHO HAVE
ASTHMA. THE ALBUM PLAN WOULD
INCLUDE BUT NOT LIMITED TO
INFORMATION ABOUT SYMPTOMS
COMMON TRIGGERS OF ASTHMA WAYS

TOPICS. THE CSPA ASTHMA

RESPONSE TO THIS PROPOSAL AS
WELL AS TO THE INSTABILITY
CONCERNING GENERATED CALIFORNIA
STATE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC
TRUST IN TONY THURMOND WORN AT
THE CHINO VALLEY UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT'S PROPOSED RESOLUTION
TO EXCLUDE NON BINARY STUDENTS
AT LIKELY REPRESENT A VIOLATION
OF STATE LAW. ALTHOUGH THE
PROPOSED MEASURE ULTIMATELY FAIL
THE SUPERINTENDENT AND. I
BELIEVE THERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY
IN FACT. A TWO INCH THE SAFEST
AND MOST INCLUSIVE FOR ALSO AND
CAL SCHOOLS IN ORDER FOSTER
DISCUSSION AND DEVELOP A
FRAMEWORK FOR PERSPECTIVE RATHER
THAN LEGISLATION THE
SUPERINTENDENT. CONVENE AN AD
HOC COMMITTEE PER SE SCHOOL
BATHROOMS. THAT WAS COMPRISED
PRIMARILY OF STUDENTS WITH
DIRECT EXPERIENCE WITH THIS
CHALLENGING ISSUE AND WANTED. TO
CONTRIBUTE TO CREATING A SAFE
AND INCLUSIVE ENVIRONMENT FOR
EVERYONE. NOT OVER THE PAST YEAR
I'VE HAD THE PRIVILEGE OF
WORKING ALONGSIDE THE MEMBERS OF
THE AD HOC COMMITTEE. AND I'M
PROUD TO SAY THAT THE MEASURE
BEFORE YOU TODAY IS IN LARGE
PART THE PRODUCT OF THE HARD
WORK OF THOSE BRAVE. CREATIVE
AND PRINCIPLED STUDENTS ARE WITH
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS THIS
BILL REQUIRES EACH CALIFORNIA
PUBLIC SCHOOL TO ESTABLISH AT
LEAST ONE ALL GENDER RESTROOM.
TO MAYBE TO BE MADE AVAILABLE TO
ALL STUDENTS REGARDLESS OF
GENDER EXPRESSION AND- IF THE
SCHOOL CURRENTLY HAS TO OUR
RESTROOMS REMAIN ACCEPTABLE TO
STUDENTS BY JULY FIRST. TWENTY
TWENTY SIX NOW IN A CASE WHERE
SCHOOL HAS TWO OR FEWER
RESTAURANTS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE
WHICH CAN OFTEN BE THE CASE AND
SMALL SCHOOLS. IN RURAL
DISTRICTS THAT SCHOOL WOULD
INSTEAD BE REQUIRED TO
CORPORATION ALL GENDER RESTROOM
AS PART OF ITS NEXT.
MODERNIZATION PROJECT
ALTERNATIVELY AS IF THE SCHOOL
SITE WITH TWO OR FEWER
RESTAURANTS. IDENTIFIES EXISTING
RESTROOM THAT CAN BE CONVERTED
FOR STUDENT USE- THERE'S NOTHING
THE BILL THAT WOULD PREVENT THAT
SCHOOL SITE. FOR MAKING THAT
RESTROOM AVAIL THE STUDENTS
THEREBY AVOIDING PERSPECTIVE
COSTS. AND COMPLICATIONS OF NEW
CONSTRUCTION. I TO ENSURE THAT
LIMITS ARE PLACED IN SCHOOL
RESTROOMS UNNECESSARILY OR
ARBITRARILY THIS BILL REQUIRES A
DOCUMENTED CONCERN. FOR PEOPLE
SAFETY ABSENT. AN IMMEDIATE
THREAT UNDER THE PROVISIONS THE
BILL. THE CALIFORNIA APARTMENT
EDUCATION. I WILL BE REQUIRED TO
CONDUCT COMPLIANCE REVIEWS
INCREASE APPROPRIATE GUIDANCE TO
HELP SCHOOLS ESTABLISHING. ALL
GENDER RESTROOMS THIS MEASURE
ALSO ALIGNS WITH CALIFORNIA'S
MENSTRUAL EQUITY ACT OF TWENTY
TWENTY ONE- ENSURES
ACCESSIBILITY TO MENSTRUAL
PRODUCTS PER. THE PROVISIONS OF
THAT ACT HERE WITH ME TO
TESTIFY. TODAY I IS A LIVIA
SOONER- ONE OF THE STUDENTS TO
PARTICIPATE IN THE AD HOC
COMMITTEE. ON BEHALF OF THE
SUPERINTENDENT PUBLIC STRETCH
AND- IT WAS ADMITTED AS A
MISSION A CO SPONSOR- AND ALSO
CREATE POSSIBLE. BEHALF OF
AQUATIC HEALTH. WHICH IS ALSO A
CO SPONSOR I'M- ASK YOU FOR YOUR
VOTE TODAY. GOOD AFTERNOON MY
NAME IS OLIVIA I AM A RISING. IN
THE POP TO UNIFY SCHOOL THIS.
AND REPRESENT A ON THIS YOU.
SCHOOL BATHROOMS AT COMMITTEE.
I'VE SPENT THE LAST FOUR YEARS
WORKING WITH MY DISTRICT TO
INCREASE STUDENT ACCESS TO ALL
GENDER FACILITIES. AND I'VE SEEN
FIRST HAND THE POSITIVE EFFECT
IT HAS ON MY PEERS LIVES. I AM
GENDER NON CONFORMING. END AND
ONE OF MANY LGBTQ PLUS STUDENTS
WHO DO NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE
USING SEX SEGREGATED BATHROOMS
AT SCHOOL. FOR A LONG TIME I
COUNTERED THIS DISCOMFORT BY NOT
DRINKING ANYTHING UNTIL I
RETURNED HOME AT THE END OF THE
DAY. AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE
WHO HAS MADE THAT CHOICE.
ADDITIONALLY I AM PRONE TO
HEADACHES WHICH ARE WORSENED BY
DEHYDRATION THEY CAN MAKE
FOCUSING IN CLASS AND COLLECT
CREDIBLY DIFFICULT. AND TAKE
AWAY FROM MY EDUCATION. I HAVE
ATTENDED SCHOOLS THAT HAVE ALL
GENDER RESTROOMS AND ONES THAT
DO NOT. AND THE DIFFERENCE IS
STAGGERING. WHEN STUDENTS ARE
ABLE TO RELIEVE THEMSELVES
SAFELY AND COMFORTABLY THEY'RE
ABLE TO FOCUS IN CLASS AND BE
ACTIVE IN SCHOOL EVENTS AND THE
LARGER COMMUNITY. SINGLE STALL
ALL GENDER RESTROOMS WILL
DECREASE BATHROOM HARASSMENT AND
BULLYING FACED BY TRANS AND NON
BINARY STUDENTS. AS WELL AS
DECREASE THE RISK OF URINARY
TRACT INFECTIONS AND OTHER
HEALTH ISSUES. SINGLE STALL
RESTROOMS ARE ALSO AN
INDISPENSABLE ASSET TO ALL
STUDENTS. BATHROOMS ARE
INHERENTLY AWKWARD AND
UNCOMFORTABLE FOR EVERYONE BUT
FOR SOME THE BECOME UNSAFE.
BULLYING IS NOT AN LGBTQ PLUS
ONLY EVENTS. AND ALL GENDER
RESTROOMS PROVIDE A SAFE
ALTERNATIVE FOR EVERYONE. ACCESS
ALL GENDER FACILITIES ESPECIALLY
ONES THAT ARE ACCESSIBLE AND
WILL MAINTAIN TO MAKE THE WORLD
OF DIFFERENCE AND PLAY
SIGNIFICANT ROLE. IN IMPROVING
STUDENT HEALTH ACROSS THE BOARD.
THANK YOU. GOOD AFTERNOON CHURCH
MEMBERS CRACKLES FROM BEHALF OF
ALL THE CALIFORNIA COAST BONSER-
I THINK WE CAN ALL AGREE THAT
EVERY STUDENT DESERVES TO FEEL
SAFE WHEN PERFORMING ONE OF. THE
MOST BASIC BODILY FUNCTIONS AT
SCHOOL. AND SADLY THIS IS NOT
THE REALITY FOR MANY SPEAK
STUDENTS ESPECIALLY TRANSGENDER.
AND GENDER NONCONFORMING YOUNG
PEOPLE- GLISTENS TWENTY TWENTY
ONE NATIONAL SCHOOL CLIMATE
SURVEY. FOUND THAT ABOUT 45% OF
LGBTQ STUDENTS ACTUALLY AVOID
USING RESTROOMS AT SCHOOL
BECAUSE THEY FEEL UNSAFE OR
UNCOMFORTABLE. AND OF COURSE AS
HAS BEEN NOTED STUDENTS CAN
SUFFER SIGNIFICANT HEALTH AND
ACADEMIC CONSEQUENCES BY NOT
USING THE RESTROOM DURING AN
EIGHT HOUR SCHOOL DAY. SB SEVEN
SIXTY IS INTENDED TO ADDRESS
THIS PROBLEM AND JUST ONE
HIGHLIGHT AGAIN THAT THIS BILL
WAS DESIGNED AND CAME FROM
STUDENTS THEMSELVES AND SO
ALWAYS VERY HAPPY TO BE WORKING
WITH STUDENTS ON LEGISLATION-
THAT THEY RECOMMEND- THE BILL-
WE BELIEVE THIS IS LANDMARK
LEGISLATION- THE FIRST OF ITS
KIND IN THE NATION. AND AN
IMPORTANT AND TIMELY
DEMONSTRATION OF THE STATE'S
COMMITMENT TO IMPROVING SCHOOL
CLIMATE FOR LGBTQ STUDENTS- AND
AS YOU ALL KNOW IT STANDS IN
STARK CONTRAST TO THE OVER FIVE
HUNDRED ANTI LGBTQ BILLS HAVE
BEEN INTRODUCED ACROSS THE
COUNTRY- MANY OF WHICH TARGET
TRAINED STUDENTS. AND THEIR
ABILITY TO USE THE RESTROOM- SO
VERY GRATEFUL TO BOTH CENTER
NEWMAN AND THE SUPERINTENDENT
FOR CHAMPION THIS BILL AND
RESPECTFULLY REQUEST DRIVE OF.

CHILDHOOD WAS FILLED WITH
DEPRESSION MOOD SWINGS VIOLENT
OUTBURSTS SUICIDALITY IN SELF
HARM AT ELEVEN I DISCOVER
TRANSGENDER INFLUENCES ONLINE I
WAS HOOKED AND CONVINCE THE
REASON FOR MY PAIN WAS THAT I
WAS TRANS. I HAD A LONG HISTORY
OF MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES MY
MEDICAL CHART NONE OF THAT
MATTERED WHEN I MADE MY
ANNOUNCEMENT TO MY DOCTORS. I
WAS A FIRM BY ADULTS LIKE YOUR
LAWS SAY TO. MY MOTHER IS
DESPERATE TO GIVE ME SOME RELIEF

D'ARNAUD TRANSKEI JUST KIDS GET
CONFUSED KIDS I HIT THEIR BODIES
WERE KIDS LIKE ME WITH MENTAL
HEALTH ISSUES. SCHOOL SHOULD NOT
BE ENCOURAGING GENDER DYSPHORIA
THEY SHOULD BE SPENDING MONEY ON
TEACHING CHILDREN BIOLOGICAL
REALITY AND LOVE OF SELF.
SCHOOLS RETURNING THE BOYS AND
GIRLS AND VICE VERSA ONLY
SOLIDIFIES DELUSION THAT ONE CAN
CHANGE SEX. BIOLOGY MATTERS WHEN
I WAS A TRANS IDENTIFIED KID I
DID NOT USE THAT BATHROOMS AT
SCHOOL BOYS OR GIRLS I JUST HELD
ALL DAY. I KNEW THAT I MADE THE
GIRLS UNCOMFORTABLE BUT I KNEW
THAT I WOULD BE IN DANGER IN THE
BOYS BATHROOM. HAVING A GENDER
NEUTRAL BACK INTO SCHOOL UNLESS
TO SOLO BATHROOM IS NOT GOING TO
HELP GENDER CONFUSED KIDS.
HAVING A MULTI STALL GENDER
NEUTRAL BATHROOM ONLY PUTS ALL
KIDS IN DANGER. IF YOU WANT TO
SUPPORT GENDER CONFUSED CHILDREN
STOP TEACHING KIDS THAT THEY
COULD BE CAUGHT BORN IN THE
WRONG BODY. IF YOU WANT TO BE
INCLUSIVE. STOPPED BERMAN KIDS
THERE ARE TRANS GENDER WHEN

THANK ST NEW OF BRING THIS BILL
FOR THE LGBTQ CAUCUS PRIORITY
BILL AND I LIKE TO BE A CO
AUTHOR THANK YOU. GRATEFUL FOR
THEM SURE. SERVER SENATOR. JUST
A QUESTION ABOUT YOUR BILL YOU
KNOW I DO IT DOES CONCERN ME FOR
THE SAFETY OF OUR YOU KNOW OF.
KIDS PARTICULARLY KIDS- I THAT
THIS BILL IS TRYING TO HELP
ABOUT A MULTI STALL AND ALL
GENDER RESTROOM AND KIND OF THE
SAFETY ASPECTS OF THAT. IS THERE
A REASON WHY- YOU KNOW IT'S KIND
OF OPEN ENDED IN THE BILL ARE
YOU OPEN TO- YOU KNOW NARROWING
IT TO A SINGLE STALL. FOR SAFETY
I JUST WANTED TO GET YOUR
THOUGHTS. IT'S A FAIR QUESTION
SO- NOW I'M A OPEN TO IT I THINK
IT THAT WOULD BE IDEAL I THINK
IS A LIVE YOU WOULD SAY. AT THE
CHALLENGE IS. IF YOU MAKE THAT
THE PRESCRIPTION. THEN WE
NECESSITATE A BUNCH OF REALLY
EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION- RIGHT
AND SO WE'RE LEAVING SOME LEVEL
OF DISCRETION. TO L. ARIES IS TO
AVOID. READ WRITES IT YOU KNOW
THE LAST THING I WANTED TO DO
AND- IN THIS BILL. I WANNA BE
CLEAR I MEAN IT DID THIS BILL
AND I'D BE HAPPY TO HAVE A LIVE
YOU SPEAK TO IT- IT'S NOT REALLY
ABOUT GENDER AFFIRMATIONS THAT
SAFETY. OF FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE
UNCOMFORTABLE- IN SCHOOL AS MR
POSTER MENTIONED DOING WHAT WE
ALL TAKE FOR GRANTED USING THE
BATHROOM- IT DID THIS VERY
NARROW RIGHT THIS IS ABOUT
CURRICULUM. THIS ISN'T ABOUT
ANYTHING OTHER THAN A AFFORDING
THESE YOUNG PEOPLE. FOR THE
OBVIOUS REASONS A PLACE TO GO
USE THE RESTROOM WITHOUT
STIGMATIZATION WITHOUT BULLYING
WITHOUT ANXIETY. IF WE MADE THE
LEGISLATION PRESCRIPTIVE. WE
WOULD ACTUALLY BE SHOULDERING
SCHOOL DISTRICTS WITH MASSIVE-
FISCAL LIABILITIES- AND SO I
WOULD LIKE NOTHING MORE I MEAN
ON AND I'M GLAD TO MAKE IT FOR
YOU KNOW ADDING TEN LANGUAGES IS
TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE-
IDENTIFIES SINGLE STALL RESTROOM
IN THAT FACILITY. THAT WOULD BE
IDEAL- BUT IT WAS IT'S REALLY
OBVIOUS WHEN YOU GET YOUR
OBLIGATION TO FUND THE
LEGISLATION THAT WE CREATE- YOU
KNOW PROBLEMATIC ACROSS A STATE
AS LARGE AS US. WITH AS MUCH
PRIDE ACROSS SCHOOLS AND SCHOOL
DISTRICTS ALL RIGHT TO MANDATE
SINGLE STALL BATHROOMS BUT THAT
IS THE ASPIRATION AND IF YOU
WOULD MIND IT LIKELY TO SPEAKERS
. YEAH THINK WHEN COMES TO MOLD
USUAL VERSUS AND ALL I. DON'T
KNOW MY PEERS- OPINIONS ON THIS
AS JUST A COMMUNITY SO I CAN'T
SPEAK TO THAT BUT I THINK
PERSONALLY I WOULD PREFER MULTI
STALL IT'S JUST IT'S A MORE
PRIVATE SPACE. STUFF YES SORRY
SINGLE STALL- IT'S A MORE
PRIVATE SPACE IT'S- OFTEN TIMES
BIGGER AS WELL SO IF YOU'RE AND-
IF YOU'RE CLAUSTROPHOBIC OR IF
YOU. HAVE MOBILITY ISSUES
THERE'S MORE SPACE FOR YOU TO BE
ABLE TO EXIST. AND- WELL I YEAH
MULTI SO I HAVE NO PROBLEM WITH
MULTI STONE MANY OF MY FRIENDS
WHO I KNOW DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM
WITH MULTI STYLE IT'S ALL JUST A
MATTER OF. PERSONAL PREFERENCE
AND- THE- GENERAL CLIMATE. OF
THE DISTRICT IN THE AREA OF THE
STATE THAT THAT SCHOOL RESIDES
AND ENCOURAGES I THINK WE WOULD
ALL PREFER SINGLE STALL
BATHROOMS WHERE WE GO. IN AGAIN-
IF I COULD DO THAT WOULD. AND I
THINK THAT'S GOOD SHOULD BE
CONSIDERATION FOR US AS POLICY
MAKERS. I THINK- THANK YOU FOR
THAT AND I APPRECIATE YOUR
COMMENTS I THINK TO- I THINK
CONSIDERING MAYBE SOME INTENT
LANGUAGE ON THAT AT LEAST. TO
THE GREATEST EXTENT POSSIBLE YOU
KNOW WE URGE THAT I THINK WOULD
BE HELPFUL TO ADD MAYBE IN THE
FUTURE COMMITTEE- PROBABLY WON'T
BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THE BILL
WITHOUT SOMETHING LIKE THAT IN
THERE BUT- I DO REALLY
APPRECIATE CUSTOMER THANK YOU.
LIKE I SAID GLAD TO COMMIT TO
THAT INTENT LANGUAGE I JUST I
DON'T KNOW THAT I COULD COMMIT
TO THE ACTUAL. BILL UNDERSTOOD.
THIS QUIRK-SILVA THEM IS DAHLE.
I WANT TO THANK THE AUTHOR FOR
BRINGING THIS FORWARD THIS IS
NOT AN EASY BILL BECAUSE- OF.
WHAT THE BILL DOES VERSUS WHAT
WILL BE SAID THAT THE BILL DOES
IS TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS
THIS IS SIMPLY ABOUT PROVIDING.
ALL GENDER RESTROOMS- IT IS NOT
ABOUT TRANSGENDERISM KIDS IT IS
NOT ABOUT ALL THE OTHER THINGS
THAT WILL BE SAID. AND ONE OF
THE MEMBERS ALONG WITH THE
ASSEMBLY MEMBER MURATSUCHI WHO
HAVE BEEN HERE FOR QUITE A WHILE
AND WHEN SOME OF THE LEGISLATION
CAME DOWN IN TWENTY. LEAVE IT
WAS TWENTY FOURTEEN REGARDING-
BATHROOMS FOR TRANSGENDER. THERE
WERE MANY MANY HYSTERIA COMMENTS
MADE THAT FOOTBALL PLAYERS WILL
NOW BE PEEKING IN ON GIRLS ON
REST IN RESTROOMS. IN ORANGE
COUNTY WHERE I REPRESENT IT WAS
MASSIVE HYSTERIA AND WE MADE IT
A POINT TO COUNT COUNT TO CALL
SUPERINTENDENTS. TO CALL US- AT
PRINCIPLES OF HIGH SCHOOLS TO
FIND OUT EXACTLY WHAT THEY WERE
SEEN ON THE GROUND. AND GUESS
HOW MANY COMPLAINTS THAT THEY
HAD AND HAVE HAD RELATED TO
THIS- IDEA THAT SOMEBODY IS
GOING TO BECOME TRANS GENDER AND
THEN TRY TO GO INTO THE LOCKER
ROOM TO. BEGIN ON WOMEN YOUNG
GIRLS. AT LEAST IN ORANGE COUNTY
I DO WANT TO GUESS I'M GUESSING
YOU DON'T YOU DON'T HAVE. FOR
YOU BECAUSE WE THE RESEARCH AND
IT WAS. AND THIS CONTINUES TO BE
TO BE SAID IT CONTINUES TO CAUSE
HARM TO INDIVIDUALS AND IT'S A
WAY OF TAKING. WHAT IS ACTUALLY
THE INTENT OF THIS BILL I'M
MAKING IT SOMETHING ELSE SO I DO
SUPPORT THIS AGAIN WE'VE HAD
CONTENTIOUS. HEARINGS UNDER
MULTIPLE ISSUES RELATED TO
SEXUALITY OF STUDENTS IN THIS
CONSISTENT FEAR THAT PUBLIC
SCHOOL TEACHERS I'VE EVEN HEARD
THAT WE HAVE TRANS GENDER
CLOSET. WHICH MEANS THAT
STUDENTS GO INTO A CLOSET OUT OF
PUBLIC SCHOOL CHANGE THEIR
GENDER FOR THE DAY. COME OUT AT
THE END OF DAY THE DAY IN CHANGE
THEIR GENDER BACK. SO THESE TYPE
OF THINGS I HAVE HEARD AT
COFFEES AT PUBLIC VENUES AND
IT'S SIMPLY NOT HAPPENING. THE
OTHER ISSUE IS THAT THERE ARE
MANY VENUES THAT ARE TAKING
SERIOUSLY THIS NON GENDER
RESTROOM IF YOU GO TO THE
AIRPORT NOW YOU GO TO
RESTAURANTS NOW THEY HAVE
ADAPTED AND THEY USUALLY WILL
HAVE. ONE NON GENDER RESTROOM IF
THEY HAVE SPACE MANY TIMES THEY
MAY HAVE A MALE RESTROOM A
FEMALE BUT THERE IF THEY ONLY
HAVE ONE RESTROOM. THEY'RE
MAKING IT INTO A NON GENDER SO
WE CAN. ADAPT WE CAN CHANGE AND
THERE HAVE BEEN MANY PLACES
WHERE THEY DO THIS OTHER
COUNTRIES HAVE MALE FEMALE
RESTROOMS FOR DECADES AND THIS
IS HOW THEY LEARN TO LIVE
AMONGST EACH OTHER WITH ALL OF
THAT WITHOUT THESE TYPES OF-
ALMOST HYSTERICAL COMMENTS AND
I'VE SEEN IT. IT'S BEEN USED
AGAINST MANY OF US AS ELECTED
OFFICIALS THAT WERE TRYING TO
TRANSGENDER CHILDREN AND
STUDENTS AND IT'S ABSOLUTELY NOT
TRUE AND I THINK THAT WE NEED TO
CONFRONT THAT BUT THIS BILL IN
FACT IS ABOUT BUILDING. NINE A
GENDER OF BATHROOMS AND WHERE
POSSIBLE I'M SURE AT SOME
SCHOOLS WILL FIND THAT THEY CAN
FIND A SINGLE STAR ONE THERE MAY
BE OTHERS THAT CAN'T BUT AT
LEAST IT STARTS MOVING TOWARDS
THAT WITH THAT I SUPPORT BILL
THANK YOU. THANK YOU. VISSCHER
DOLLY. AS OF A COUPLE CLARIFYING
QUESTIONS SO FOR THE SMALL
SCHOOLS TO REMOVE YOUR
OPPOSITION WITH THE AMENDMENT
THAT SPECIFICALLY THAT YOU TOOK
FOR THAT SO TO OUR LAST
BATHROOMS. AND TELL THEIR
MODERNIZATION CORRECT THAT'S
CORRECT THAT'S CORRECT IN THE US
TO OUR LAST BATHROOMS IT SO I'M
JUST BE I'M THINKING OF MY TO MY
OUR BOYS THEIR ELEMENTARY SCHOOL
HAD TWO BATHROOMS AND ONE
HALLWAY AND THEN THEY HAD.
KINDERGARTEN TKA BATHROOMS ON
THE- DO THOSE BATHROOMS ARE
THOSE THOSE DON'T COUNT THEY DO
NOT CARE. SO THEN OKAY SO
ASSEMBLY MEMBER YOU KNOW IF THE
SCHOOL SMALL SCHOOL HAS TWO OR
FEWER BATTERS TOTAL. THAT YOU
DESCRIBE A SITUATION THAT MORE
THAN TWO IF THERE'S TRUTH WILL
STILL BE ALLOCATED FOR EACH
GENDER- BUT THE OBLIGATION WILL
THEN- APPLY THAT. IN THE NEXT
MODERNIZATION THAT SCHOOL ADDED
BATHROOM. ALL RIGHT THAT SAME
BATHROOM MIGHT HAVE FOR INSTANCE
AFFECT THE BATHROOM RIGHT TO
SINGLE STALL BATHROOM. THAT OR
MULTIPLE FACTORS RATHER NOTHING
STOPPING AT SCHOOL FROM THEN RIO
OKAY ONE OF THOSE BATHROOMS. IF
THEY DO THAT THEN THEY'RE
THEY'RE OUT FROM UNDER THAT
OBLIGATION- TO DO THE MULTITUDE
TO DO THE MODIFICATIONS. FOR
THEIR NEXT MODERNIZATION. IF
THAT MAKES SENSE. SO THEY HAVE A
FIVE BATHROOM HER. THAT THEY
COULD DO. IT'S THEIR- IT ARE ALL
. THERE OPTION IN THE IS GIVE.
TO SAVE SCHOOL MONEY. RIGHT IN
IN IN FUTURE. BUT IT'S AN
OPTION. BUT THEY'RE NOT GONNA
HELP. OKAY ANY OTHER- SO CENTER
WE UP YOU KNOW MYSELF IN THE
EDUCATION COMMITTEE STAFF WE
SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING
ABOUT. YOU KNOW THE BATHROOM IS
SPECIALLY THE THAT THAT THE
PARENTS- AND- AND I HAD TO BE
REMINDED THAT THE- THE BATHROOMS
HERE AT THE STATE CAPITOL ARE
ALL GENDER BATHROOMS- AND I.
REMEMBER DOING SOMETHING
REMINDED ME THAT THAT- I HAD I
HAD A RECENT EXPERIENCE WHERE
YOU KNOW I. WALKED IN THE
BATHROOM AND IN THERE IT- TO-
PERSONS WHO APPEAR DO IDENTIFY
AS AS AS A FEMALE- YOU KNOW SEEM
STARTLED THAT I WALKED IN I HAD
TO LIKE SAY HEY IT'S ALL GENDER
BATHROOM- WAS IT A SINGLE SERVE
OTHERS THAT WOULD BE A PROBLEM.
NO NO. AND NUMBER MY POINT IS
THAT YOU KNOW I MEAN WE'RE ALL.
WHERE WE WERE ALL ADAPTING RAY
DO A BIT BETTER- BUT WE WANT TO
ACCOMMODATE- THE PEOPLE- YOU
KNOW WHO. ARE EXPLORING GENDER
IDENTITY ISSUES PEOPLE WHO
DENIED THAT IDENTIFY. LAW- WITH
THE- HUMAN AND NON BINARY
INDIVIDUALS. AND- AND I WANT TO
MAKE IT CLEAR FOR THE COMMITTEE
THAT- THAT AS PART OF OUR
DISCUSSIONS THAT YOU KNOW WE
CAME UP WITH THE AMENDMENT TO
MAKE SURE THAT THAT YOU ONLY
HAVE TO HAVE AN ALL GENDER
BATHROOM IF. THERE IS ONE
BATHROOM DESIGNATED FOR THE FOR
A SINGLE MALE GENDER BATHROOM
AND ONE FOR A SINGLE FEMALE
GENDER BATHROOM SO THAT THOSE
THAT FELT. YOU KNOW WE WANTED
NOT ONLY ACCOMMODATE- NON BURNT
BINARY STUDENTS- BUT ALSO WE
WANTED TO ACCOMMODATE. GIRLS
THAT WANT TO USE THE GIRLS
BATHROOM IN A BOYS THAT WANT TO
USE A VOICE. SO YOU KNOW I. WITH
THAT I. FEEL VERY- COMFORTABLE I
IN IN IN IN SUPPORTING AND PROUD
TO SUPPORT THIS BILL- MOVING
FORWARD. SENYUMAN WHICH I CLOSE
IT YES YOU THINK THANK YOU
RECEPTION THANK YOU FOR THE
SUPPORT- MY ENTREE TO THIS BILL
AS YOU KIND OF AVERAGE. GUY WHAT
IS A STORY VERY SIMILAR LIMITS
AYE AYE BECAUSE TUITION WHOSE
HAS CHILDHOOD. IS THAT
IDENTIFIES AS NON BINARY I AND
WAS HAVING THE SAME IF NOT
WORSE- ANXIETY- PHYSICAL- IMMUNO
CERTIFICATIONS FROM FROM
AFFORDING USING THE RESTROOM FOR
EIGHT HOURS A DAY. ALL RIGHT AND
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT FOR
PEOPLE- YOUNG PEOPLE AT THAT
POINT THEIR LIVES- COMMITTEE
DELICATE TIME ANYWAY BUT IMAGINE
YOU KNOW ADDING TO THE MIX. ALL
RIGHT AND SO- YEAH THIS WAS.
YEAH SO MY CONNECTION TO THE
SUPER CARE PROCESS AND- THANK
YOU FOR YOUR TEST. NINETY DAY
VERY PROUD BY THE WAY I'VE BEEN
IN KERR SHOW FAR THIS IS THE
THIRD POLICY HEARING THAT THAT
UNTIL NOW. THIS CONVERSATION
THIS QUESTION BY PROVIDING PRICE
YOU GUYS HAD NOT BEEN SUBSUMED
INTO THE BROADER- OUR ARGUMENT
ABOUT GENDER IDENTITY GENDER
EXPRESSION- AND IT'S UNFORTUNATE
HAS THIS THIS BILL IS NOT ABOUT.
ANY IDEOLOGIES ABOUT PRIVACY
RIGHT AND IT'S ABOUT PRIVACY FOR
YOUNG PEOPLE WERE TIME TO LODGE
ARE MOST DESERVING OF THAT
PRIVACY AND MOST IN NEED OF IT.
AND SOME SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE

WELL RIGHT AFTERNOON- MISTER
CHAIR MEMBERS OF THE COMMITTEE I
TO DATE I AM HERE TO PRESENT SB
FORTY SIX WHICH ENSURES THAT THE
CALIFORNIA INTERSCHOLASTIC
FEDERATION HOLDS ALL STATE
FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES FOR
ALL DIVISIONS AT COMPARABLE
MUTUAL LOCATIONS. TO PROVIDE AN
EQUITABLE EXPERIENCE FOR ALL OF
CALIFORNIA STUDENTS ATHLETES.
THANK YOU I WILL BE A STEP IN
THE COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS
OUTLINED IN THE COMMITTEE'S
ANALYSIS AND I WANT TO THANK THE
CHAIR THE COMMITTEE STAFF FOR
WORKING WITH MY OFFICE ON THIS
ISSUE. SB FOUR EIGHTY SIX SEEKS
TO TACKLE THE LARGER ISSUE OF IN
EQUITY SEEN THROUGHOUT OUR
EDUCATION SYSTEMS ESPECIALLY
WHEN IT COMES TO THOSE IN OUR
ROLE LOW INCOME AND
DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
PRESENTLY STUDENTS ACROSS THE
STATE ARE FIFTEEN AN EQUITY
ISSUE ISSUES IN THE QUALITY AND
AVAILABILITY OF OPPORTUNITIES
BETWEEN HIGH INCOME AND LOW
INCOME SCHOOLS IN CALIFORNIA.
THIS INCLUDES ACCESS TO HIGH
QUALITY SPORTS FIELDS AS WELL AS
EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES
UNFORTUNATELY THE REALITY IS
THAT ATHLETIC EXPERIENCES FOR
STUDENTS FROM RURAL LOW INCOME
AND DISADVANTAGED COMMUNITIES
ACROSS CALIFORNIA SHAPE BY THE
NEIGHBORHOODS THAT THEY LIVE IN.
UNDER THE CURRENT RULES OF THE
CIF THIRTY HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL
TEAMS COMPETE IN THE STATE
CHAMPIONSHIP GAME HELD ACROSS
FIFTEEN. DIVISIONS FOURTEENS
COMPETING WITHIN THE TOP FIVE
DIVISIONS THEIR GAMES TAKE PLACE
AT A NEUTRAL LOCATION WHAT
BETTER FIELD CONDITIONS BETTER
MEDICAL. ASSESS ABILITY BETTER
SEATING BETTER SIGHT LINES AND
OVERALL BETTER MEDIA
PARTICIPATION. THE REMAINING
DIVISIONS ARE NOT AFFORDED THE
SAME LEVEL OF ATTENTION OR
OPPORTUNITIES AND THE CONDITIONS
UNDER WHICH THOSE GAMES ARE
PLAYED VERY SIGNIFICANTLY FROM
THE CIF STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
HOSTED. FOR THE TYPE FIVE TOP
FIVE DIVISIONS. ON TOP OF A
COMPLETELY SUPPORT EXPERIENCE
THOSE PLAYERS AND COMMUNITIES
ARE RELEGATED TO OUTDATED
FACILITIES AND ARE DEPRIVED OF
THE CHANCE TO PLAY IN A NEUTRAL
LOCATION. DEVOID OF MEDIA
COVERAGE AND SCOUTING EXPOSURE
AND I JUST WANT TO YOU KNOW A
PROVIDE AN EXAMPLE IN THE STATE
OF TEXAS- ALL DIVISIONS PLATE AT
THE AT AND T. STADIUM. SO WELL
HERE ALL WINNING TEAMS CAN
RIGHTFULLY CLAIM THE TITLE OF
CALIFORNIA STATE CHAMPION IT IS
EVIDENT THAT THE PLANE
CONDITIONS ARE FAR FROM
EQUITABLE. STUDENTS EARN THE
OPPORTUNITY TO PLAY IN ANY CIF
STATE CHAMPIONSHIP GAME DESERVE
THE SAME TREATMENT SO THEY CAN
BE SAFE SO THEY CAN BE SHOWCASED
THEIR TALENTS AND THEIR SKILLS.
AND THEY CAN BE RECOGNIZED FOR
THE HARD WORK AND DISCIPLINE IT
TOOK TO GET THEM THERE. I DO

STORIES. ALL RIGHT TWO MINUTES
EACH. GOOD AFTERNOON MY NAME IS
MARIO SLOW AND I WILL BE A
SOPHOMORE IS AFTER SCHOOL FIRST
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE
COMMITTEE FOR ALLOWING ME TO
SPEAK TO ON THIS TOPIC THAT'S
REALLY SPECIAL AND IMPORTANT TO
ME. WHEN I WAS YOUNGER I HAD THE
HONOR AND PLEASURE OF PLAYING
FLAG FOOTBALL AND WAS ABLE TO
PLAY MANY CHAMPIONSHIP GAMES
SEVERAL OF THESE GAMES BEING
HELD- NFL STADIUMS ACROSS THE
NATION INCLUDING. THE L. A. RAMS
DALLAS COWBOYS AND NEW ORLEANS
SAINTS THOSE EXPERIENCES CREATE
A POSITIVE. MEMORIES THAT I WILL
CHERISH FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE
. AS A FRESHMAN IN THE WEEK
LEADING UP THE STAGE. GAME I WAS
SUPER EXCITED. AND WHEN I
THOUGHT OF OUR SEAFOOD STATES.
GAME I THOUGHT A BIG STADIUM AND
A NICE WITH. OF THOUSANDS OF
SOFT. READY TO THEIR TEAM. NOT
SAYING I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE AN
IN A PHOTO BUT I EXPECT TO BE
SOMETHING PRETTY NICE A MEMBER.
WHEN WE GOT TO ORLAND HIGH'S IN
THE SAN TENTH THOUSAND TWENTY
TWO. IT WAS THE EXACT OPPOSITE
OF WHAT I EXPECTED THERE
VISITORS STANDS WEREN'T EVEN BIG
ENOUGH TO SELL ALL OF OURS AFTER
FANS. BEFORE WE EVEN CAME OUT
FOR MOST OF STANDS WERE FULL
WITH PEOPLE SITTING ON THE
STAIRS STANDING ALONG THE GATE
AND STANDING ALONG THE SIDES OF
THE STANDS. THERE EVEN PEOPLE
WHO BROWN SIGNED THEIR OWN
CHAIRS THE FOOD WAS FLOODED WITH
POSTS SPREAD OUT ACROSS
DIFFERENT AREAS OF THE FIELD. AS
SOON AS I TOOK A STEP MY FOOD
SINK AND STUCK IN THE MUD. THE
MODEL SO BAD I COULDN'T MOVE I
WANTED I FOCUSING LIMITED AND
RESTRICTED. IT WAS DIFFICULT TO
CATCH THE BALL BECAUSE IT WAS SO
SLICK. I WAS HAVING A HARD TIME
SWITCHING A- IN MY TACK BECAUSE
EVERY TIME I WOULD MAKE A- WITH
. MY FEET WAS SLY OUT FROM A ME
. THE MY WAS ONLY. MY ABILITY
BUT IT WAS. GO INTO MY EYES
AGAIN. AFFECTING MY VISION.
TOWARD THE END OF THE GAME I
GOING TO BECAUSE THE MUD BURNS
BAD. NORMALLY DURING THE GAME
I'D BE. AND SO.
REALLY EXCITED ABOUT MAKING IT
TO THE CIF STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
GAME. BUT IT WAS NOT WHAT I
EXPECTED A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP
WOULD LOOK LIKE. OKAY WE'RE
GONNA ASK YOU TO WRAP UP OKAY.
EACH YEAR OVER. VALUE WE GOT.
CORRECT MOVIE ABOUT FOURTEEN
MILES SOUTH THE TEAM FROM
LIBERTY HIGH SCHOOL WAS
RETURNING TO THE STATE GAME FOR
THE SECOND YEAR IN A ROW. THEN
ABOUT NINETY PLAYERS FROM ALL
OVER A MUCH BIGGER TOWN I LIKE
EVERY OTHER QB HAVE ALWAYS DRAWN

TV AND SOCIAL MEDIA FROM LIBERTY

AND LIVE STREAM BY PROFESSIONAL
MEDIA TEAM ALL IN A FAIR NEUTRAL
SITE I WAS SURPRISED WHEN I

TWO SYNAPTICS FOR COMING
SPEAKING TODAY FOR THE MULTIPLE
TIMES EXCLUDING ARE FEDERATED
COUNCIL MEETING IN FEBRUARY

TO LOOK AT THIS ISSUE- AND WE AS
WE DID AT THE CONCLUSION OF OUR
DECEMBER GAMES. AND WE ARE
ALREADY MOVING IN THIS
DIRECTION- FACT AS OF YESTERDAY-
WE'VE SECURED TWO OF THE THREE
SITES NECESSARY WITH A THIRD I
THINK VERY CLOSE TO SECURING SO
WE ARE ALREADY MOVING IN THIS
DIRECTION TO DO THIS. ALSO I
THINK AUTHORS OFFICE FOR
ENGAGING IN DISCUSSIONS WITH US-
ALTERNATELY WE'RE HERE TO OBJECT
KNOCKS THE INTENT OF THE BILL
BUT THE FACT THAT THIS
INTERFERES WITH OUR MEMBER
DRIVEN GOVERNANCE PROCESS AND
THAT'S REALLY WHY WE'RE HERE TO
TALK TO TODAY- THE COMMITTEE
STAFF ANALYSIS I THINK DOES A
GREAT JOB OF EXPLAINING THE
CURRENT STRUCTURE OF FOOTBALL
CHAMPIONSHIPS. WHICH IS A CAESAR
MADE BY MEMBER SCHOOLS IT'S
ABOUT COMPETITIVE EQUITY IT'S
NOT ABOUT. RURAL OR URBAN IT'S
NOT ABOUT SOCIOECONOMIC STATUS
WE HAD SCHOOLS FROM ALL THOSE
DIFFERENT AREAS PARTICIPATE IN
HOME SITE GAMES AS WELL. SIMPLY
PUT THE SAMPLE IS A BEST SELLING
FOR RESOLVING THIS MATTER IS TO
THE PROCESS ALREADY ESTABLISHED
INTERNALLY. AND THIS BILL IS
UNNECESSARY AND USE UNNECESSARY
USE OF STATE AUTHORITY. WELL WE
APPRECIATE THE RECOMMENDED
COMMITTEE AMENDMENTS PROVIDE
FLEXIBILITY FOR UNFORESEEN
CIRCUMSTANCES WE CONTINUE TO
POSE A BILL BELIEVE WE SHOULD BE
GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO THIS ON
OUR OWN. WE ALSO THINK THIS GUY
ED CHAU HAS BEEN A GOOD STEWARD
OF ATHLETICS IN CALIFORNIA- YEAH
. WE HAVE NOT OPPOSED THE BILL
SINCE TWO THOUSAND SIX-
COUNTLESS BILLS WE BIG.
INCLUDING THAT ARE LISTED THE IN
OUR- IF THE LEGISLATURE IS
UNSATISFIED WITH OUR FOOTBALL
CHAMPIONSHIPS THIS FALL AS I
SAID WE'RE DOING AT THIS POINT
OF THE BILL WOULD REQUIRE US TO
DO IT TILL DECEMBER OF TWENTY
TWENTY FOUR. THEN YOU KNOW WE
ASK THAT WHEN MY MOM RECORD OF
SAYING THIS ARE FEDERATED
COUNCIL THAT WE'RE MOVING IN
THIS DIRECTION. IF WE DON'T DO
WHAT WE'RE SUPPOSED TO DO THIS
FALL THEN I ASK YOU TO GO AHEAD
BRING THE BILL BACK NEXT YEAR.
AND HOLD US ACCOUNTABLE AT THAT
POINT TIME. SO THANK YOU FOR
LISTENING TODAY AND THANK YOU
FOR A FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION.

ONE SIZE FITS ALL FOR ALL OF OUR

EIGHT MAN FOOTBALL TEAM MADE IT
TO A STATE CHAMPIONSHIP AND THAT
CENTRAL LOCATION. WAS AN EIGHT
HOUR DRIVE TO GET THERE IT'S
GOING TO BE EXTREMELY HARD IT'S
A HARDSHIP. FOR THOSE KIDS IN
THOSE FAMILIES TO GO TO. SO I
APPRECIATE THAT YOU'RE MOVING
