We
have
tremendous
needs
in
this
county,
and
so
we
are
so
excited
today
to
hear
the
governor's
proposal
and
we're
looking
forward
to
the
great
news
that
he's
going
to
share
with
us
very
very
shortly.
So
with
that,
it
is
my
pleasure
to
introduce
to
you
the
president
of
the
state
board
of
education,
dr
linda
darling,
hammond
dr
hammond.
D
Thank
you
very
much
when
the
governor
asked
me
to
join
his
administration
when
he
first
entered.
I
was
thrilled
to
do
so
because
of
his
vision
for
california
for
all
his
vision
for
public
education
in
this
state
and
his
vision
for
a
whole
child
framework
within
which
we
raise
our
children
here
and
we've
made
progress
on
that
vision
during
the
pandemic.
But
this
set
of
investments
and
reforms
will
catapult
california
forward
and
really
allow
us
to
reinvent
the
public
education
system
in
this
state.
D
If
you
think
about
what
children
need
to
progress
in
their
learning
and
in
their
achievement,
there
are
three
major
things.
One
is
that,
of
course,
we
all
want
children
to
have
caring,
competent
and
qualified
and
committed
teachers
and
educators,
and
this
package
will
put
forward
a
strategy
to
ensure
that
we
not
only
solve
our
teacher
shortages,
but
that
we
bring
teachers
through
the
pipeline
into
pathways
and
into
the
schools
that
need
them
most,
including
accomplished
teachers
who
will
be
incentivized
to
go
even
further
in
their
development
and
training.
D
The
way
in
which
services
from
six
in
the
morning
till
six
in
the
evening
preschool
for
infants
and
toddlers
and
young
children.
Before
and
after
school
care,
health
and
mental
health
care
come
together
to
create
not
only
a
path
to
survival,
but
a
path
to
thriving
so
important
on
the
heels
of
the
pandemic.
That
has
really
brought
so
much
challenge
to
so
many
families
in
the
state.
D
So
this
moment
is
a
historic
one.
California
was
the
undisputed
leader
in
education
in
the
1970s
50
years
ago,
and
we
had
a
period
of
disinvestment
in
our
public
schools
over
a
number
of
years
that
has
been
turned
around
in
recent
years
with
some
recent
recalibration
and
a
new
funding
formula.
But
this
set
of
interlocking
invent
interventions
and
investments
are
going
to
catapult
california
back
to
that
leadership
position
and
more
important.
E
Thank
you
linda
and
thanks
for
having
us
here
at
elkhorn
and
to
monterey
county
and
all
the
incredible
staff.
Here,
it's
been
great
to
spend
a
few
minutes
on
a
school
campus
as
a
pediatrician
and
somebody
who
is
raising
young
kids
during
this
pandemic.
It
is
certainly
quite
a
moment
to
be
able
to
visit
a
school.
E
This
link
between
education,
service,
community
services
and
health
services.
We
have
for
decades
lamented
on
an
inadequate
underfunded
under
scaled
behavioral
health
system
that
often
waits
too
long
to
address
issues
for
young
people
and
adults
the
same
and
today's
announcement
not
just
is
about
what
we
can
do
here
on
school
campuses,
to
support
education,
but
really
to
bolster
and
we've
been
saying
it
a
lot
once
in
a
generation
once
in
a
lifetime
opportunity
to
change
the
course
and
change
the
arc
of
young
people's
lives
that
begins
today.
E
With
some
of
these
budget
proposals
focused
specifically
on
children's
and
young
people's
behavioral
health,
historic
recommendations
for
investments
in
virtual
care.
We
talked
as
linda
mentioned
this
opportunity.
What
we've
learned
in
the
pandemic
is
that
some
of
the
things
that
we've
had
to
do,
we
actually
want
to
continue
doing
some
of
those,
so
the
opportunity
to
build
on
virtual
health
virtual
care,
bringing
an
expectation
that
all
californians
0
to
25
have
access
to
behavioral
health
services.
E
We
have
all
too
long
been
able
to
make
a
referral
just
to
find
out.
Somebody
has
a
many
month
long
wait
list
to
get
services
to
young
people
that
needs
to
end
now.
We
need
to
make
these
investments
in
building
up
that
workforce
so
together,
starting
with
a
virtual
platform
that
allows
us
to
link
all
young
people
to
assessments
and
care
that
they
might
need
linked
to
the
schools
integrated
with
our
partners
here
in
education,
but
beyond
working
with
our
primary
care.
E
Our
family
practice
practitioners
are
internal
medicine
docs
who
take
care
and
provide
care
to
older
young
people.
Those
in
institutes
of
higher
education
are
colleges
or
universities
or
community
colleges,
whose
students
and
and
staff
have
suffered
throughout
the
pandemic
today
is
that
opportunity
to
double
down
on
this
investment,
not
just
in
a
small
way,
not
just
with
a
few
million
dollars
or
even
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars,
but
billions
of
dollars
of
recommended
investments
in
that
system.
E
So
we
go
from
a
system
that
is
reactionary
to
one
that
is
proactive,
looking
out
for
our
well-being,
investing
in
today's
young
people,
so
that
tomorrow's
leaders
are
well
equipped
to
lead
california
into
the
future.
So
with
that,
I
will
introduce
a
partner
and
friend
our
superintendent
for
public
education.
Mr
tony
thurman
thank.
F
F
F
It
is
so
great
to
be
here,
as
you
heard,
to
be
in
a
school
community
that
has
put
full
supports
and
wrap-arounds
for
our
students,
as
we
continue
to
make
our
way
through
what
has
been,
I
believe,
the
toughest
experience
of
our
lifetime
as
dr
darling
hammond
referenced
to
be
at
a
school
community
where
there
is
support
for
students
and
their
families
from
6
00
am
to
6
pm.
That
means
great
learning,
in-person
instruction.
That
means
meals.
That
means
family
engagement
to
help
families.
That's
exactly
what
you're
going
to
hear
today.
F
As
you
hear
our
governor
talk
about
california
roaring
back
for
our
schools.
It
is
exactly
the
model
and
it
is
why
we
are
here
today,
and
it
is
honor
to
be
here.
I'd
be
remiss
if
I
did
not
say
that
this
is
a
homecoming
for
me
of
sorts.
I
was
born
at
the
old
fort
ord,
which
is
now
csu,
monterey
and,
and
while
I
was
not
an
ocelot
ever
in
life,
I'm
glad
to
be
here
with
the
ocelot
community.
F
F
F
You
know
there
wasn't
a
lot
of
discussion
about
how
do
we
address
trauma
for
our
students
and
so
all
that
to
say
it's
not
lost
on
me.
How
important,
when
our
students
in
this
state
have
fully
returned.
Most
of
our
schools
have
reopened
for
in-person
instruction,
and
everyone
understands
that
as
we
head
to
the
fall.
In-Person
instruction
is
what
our
students
need
for
social
connection
for
connection
with
their
educators.
F
It's
not
lost
on
me
that
as
much
as
it's
important
for
us
to
focus
on
how
we
accelerate
learning
and
how
we
provide
tutoring
and
professional
development
for
educators
to
offset
learning
gaps
that
our
students
have
experienced.
I
can't
think
of
anything
more
important
than
how
we
address
the
social
emotional
learning
needs
of
our
students,
their
mental
health
and
their
well-being.
We
know
it,
we
know
the
stories
in
spite
of
the
great
efforts
of
so
many
educators
and
others.
Who've
tried
to
go
into
distance
learning
overnight.
F
There
have
just
been
impacts,
there
have
been
impacts
on
our
students
and
those
impacts
have
been
felt
in
terms
of
a
depression
for
our
students
and
and
and
setbacks
in
their
in
their
learning
opportunities,
and-
and
this
is
their
opportunity
to
come
back
from
that,
and
so
I'm
grateful
to
our
governor
who's
had
the
vision.
This
is
not
a
new
area
for
governor
newsom.
If
you
look
at
what
the
governor
has
done
in
these,
you
know
two
plus
years
in
his
service.
F
He
has
prioritized
programs
like
community
schools,
which
means
that
the
school
is
the
community
center
and
provides
the
wraparound
supports
that
our
families
need
and
we're
seeing
that
example
right
here
where
we
stand
today,
and
so
I'm
grateful
to
this
governor
for
that
commitment.
I'm
grateful
to
hear
the
governor
and
the
secretary
of
health
and
human
services
talk
about
billions
for
helping
right
billions
to
help
our
behavioral
health
systems
do
what
they
can
to
support
our
students.
F
Our
all
of
our
systems
have
been
stretched,
and
the
pandemic
has
certainly
stretched
us
even
more
and
to
hear
the
governor
and
his
team
say
that
we're
making
billions
in
terms
of
investments
means
that,
as
we
come
out
of
this
difficult
circumstance
that
we
capture
the
moment
to
make
the
investments
that
propel
us
forward
to
support
the
needs
of
our
students.
Right
here
and
right
now
and
at
the
same
time
to
say,
as
dr
darling
hammond
has
said,
we
must
reimagine
how
we
approach
education.
F
I
believe
that
we
have
a
fractured
system.
That's
trying
to
support
students
and
their
mental
health.
Schools
are
doing
all
they
can
county
mental
health
systems
are
doing
all
they
can,
but
we
need
the
ability
to
fill
gaps
and
what
you're
hearing
here
today
again
in
the
billions
is
a
program
that
helps
to
fill
those
gaps,
that
layers
together
resources
to
address
trauma
and
to
support
well-being
for
our
students.
F
We'll
do
our
part
at
the
california
department
of
education
we've
been
busy
doing
webinars
on
social,
emotional
learning,
to
make
sure
our
educators
get
the
training
and
the
support
that
they
need.
We've
been
talking
about
the
pandemic
and
we've
been
talking
about
the
pandemic
of
racism.
This
has
been
an
incredibly
difficult
year.
Our
students
have
watched
the
murder
of
george
floyd
on
television.
Our
students
have
watched
the
surge
and
spike
in
hate
crimes
against
the
asian
american
pacific
islander
community.
F
Our
students
have
watched
a
negative
counter
culture
against
immigrant
families
and
latinx
families,
and
we
have
to
address
the
trauma
that
they
have
experienced.
We
support
their
learning
needs
and
we
support
their
developmental
needs,
and
so
I'm
proud
of
our
governor,
I'm
proud
of
our
state.
Our
governor
needs
no
introduction.
F
He
has
been
at
the
forefront
of
everything
that
this
state
needs
during
this
pandemic,
to
get
our
schools
open
to
get
our
business
communities
open,
to
follow
the
science
and
to
keep
us
safe.
I
wouldn't
want
to
be
in
any
other
state
and
I'm
grateful
that
our
state
is
led
by
our
40th
governor
and
I'm
happy
to
present
him
to
you
now.
Please
welcome
our
governor
gavin
newsom.
G
I
think
the
superintendent
has
done
this
before.
Let
me
thank
each
and
every
one
of
you
for
the
privilege
of
your
time
and
I'll
brag
on
the
superintendent
and
the
chair
of
our
board
and
others
that
are
assembled,
including
dr
galley,
just
in
a
moment,
but
I
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
this
week.
G
Just
a
couple
days
ago,
on
monday,
we
announced
the
state
was
going
to
reach
an
historic
milestone,
a
surplus,
the
likes
of
which
no
other
state
in
american
history
has
ever
experienced
75.7
billion
dollars,
almost
a
76
billion
dollar
operating
surplus
in
the
state
of
california.
We
marked
that
moment
by
making
a
point
that
the
superintendent
just
made
we're
not
coming
back
as
a
state.
G
The
state
is
roaring
back
after
a
pandemic
induced
recession,
we're
mindful
that
by
no
stretch
of
the
imagination
or
where
we
want
to
be,
but
we're
also
mindful
of
the
fact
that
in
february
california
created
41
percent
californians
created
41
percent
of
america's
jobs.
This
state
is
indeed
coming
roaring
back
with
that
surplus
comes
a
great
deal
of
responsibility
to
be
more
accountable,
more
transparent
and
to
address
some
of
these
systemic
issues,
many
of
which
were
assembled
here
today
to
announce
and
discuss.
G
We
started,
though,
by
providing
an
assurance
to
the
people
of
the
state
of
california,
the
taxpayers,
the
state
of
california,
particularly
those
that
have
been
most
impacted
by
coven
19,
that
we
see
you
and
we
have
your
back,
and
we
announced
a
12
billion
dollar
commitment,
the
largest
state
tax
rebate
in
american
history,
to
families
earning
up
to
seventy
five
thousand
dollars.
Seventy
eight
percent,
almost
eighty
percent
of
taxpayers
tax
filers,
will
receive
a
direct
check,
a
direct
stimulus
and
a
supplemental
check
if
those
tax
filers
have
children
under
the
age
of
six
years
old.
G
We
also
announced
a
commitment
and
was
reminded
of
this
just
driving
up
here,
that
this
state
needs
to
clean
itself
up.
We
actually
need
to
clean
the
streets.
We
need
to
clean
the
thoroughfares
and
the
entrances
and
exits
to
major
communities
like
yours
that
we
have
to
address
some
of
the
accumulation
on
the
side
of
our
freeways
of
mattresses
and
all
the
illegal
dumping,
and
that
we
can
beautify
this
state
as
well
in
the
process.
It's
not
just
about
removing
litter.
G
It's
about
bringing
back
a
sense
of
pride
in
community
and
re-engaging
our
artists
up
and
down
the
state,
and
we
put
an
historic
investment
just
two
years
ago,
with
60
million
dollars
to
invest
in
litter
removal
statewide.
The
announcement
we
made
yesterday
is
one
and
a
half
billion
dollars
to
not
only
pick
up
litter
but
to
beautify
our
thoroughfares
and
beautify
this
state.
I
say
all
of
that
to
contextualize
this
moment,
because
so
often
a
week
like
this,
you
hear
a
lot
of
numbers
talk
in
terms
of
superlatives.
G
I
made
this
point
on
monday
you're
going
to
be
hearing
a
lot
that
may
sound
like
hyperbole,
talking
in
historic
terms,
transformative
terms,
but
the
reality
is.
We
are
talking
in
historic
terms
and
transformational
terms,
and
I
hope
people
are
paying
attention,
because
what
I'm
about
to
say,
I
never
thought
I'd
ever
have
a
chance
to
say
as
a
californian,
let
alone
as
governor
of
this
state.
G
What
I'm
about
to
announce
today
is
incredible
privilege
as
a
generation
california,
as
someone
with
four
young
children,
as
someone
who
cares
deeply
about
this
community
cares
deeply
about
all
of
our
children.
The
opportunity
to
share
with
you
this
budget,
it's
one
of
the
most
exciting
things.
I've
ever
had
the
privilege,
an
opportunity
to
do
you
heard
from
linda
darlingham,
and
she
talked
in
those
historic
terms.
G
We've
often
said
this
people,
you
know
we
talk
about
achievement
gaps,
it's
a
readiness
gap,
it's
much
more
than
it
is
an
achievement
gap.
People
aren't
left
behind
as
often
as
they
are,
they
start
behind,
and
that's
why
that
investment
is
so
foundational
and
so
important.
Three
hours
minimum
of
instructional
time
is
connected
with
that
tk
investment.
We
recognize
that
we
need
to
provide
more
enrichment.
We
need
to
provide
more
wrap
around
services.
We
need
to
do
more
in
the
classroom
to
recognize
the
issues
outside
the
classroom.
G
Why
are
we
here
because
you're
doing
about
as
well
or
better
than
any
community
in
this
state?
The
fact
that
this
school,
this
elementary
school,
has
washers
and
dryers,
not
for
the
kids
but
for
families?
It
says
a
lot
about
the
society
in
the
world
we're
living
in,
but
also
says
a
lot
about
the
resourcefulness
of
this
community,
a
recognition
that
we
need
to
break
down
those
silos
between
the
community,
we're
working
in
in
the
community,
we're
serving
and
educating,
and
that's
exactly
what
this
budget
commits
to
do.
G
We've
talked
a
lot
about
community
schools
over
the
years,
but
we
haven't
followed
up
with
real
resources.
We
put
in
10
million
here,
20
million.
Here
we
put
100
million
over
a
few
years
there,
but
we've
never
made
a
commitment
like
this
three
billion
dollars
for
community
schools
and
wrap
around
services
all
up
and
down
the
state
of
california,
to
build
on
many
of
these
models
of
success
and
we'll
talk
about
that
in
richmond
in
a
moment
in
any
in
the
q,
a
about
what
that
looks
like
and
what
that
means.
G
But
one
of
the
things
that
I'm
so
proud
of
is
the
thing
that
brought
dr
galley
down
here
today
and
that's
to
get
serious
about
the
issue
of
brain
health.
Get
serious
about
the
issue
of
adolescent
mental
health,
to
get
serious
about,
reconciling
the
fact
that
the
brain
is
also
part
of
the
body
and
that
we
need
to
do
more
and
better
to
address,
as
the
superintendent
talked
about
his
own
trauma
as
a
child,
but
talk
about
the
trauma
that
so
many
have
experienced
over
the
course
of
last
year.
G
But
for
that
matter
over
the
course
of
the
last
few
decades,
issues
of
anxiety
and
deep
depression
leading
to
tragic
outcomes.
I
don't
need
to
enumerate
all
those
tragic
outcomes.
You
live
it
here.
In
this
community
at
this
school,
so
many
communities
struggling
because
of
lack
of
access
to
counselors
and
support
services.
What
we're
doing
today
is
something
we've
never
done
in
state
history
literally
brought
dr
galley
down.
We
were
sitting
in
the
back
a
moment
ago.
He
said:
do
you
realize
that
we're
actually
about
to
make
this
announcement?
G
He
goes
of
all
the
things
I
thought
I'd
have
a
privilege
to
do.
I
never
thought
we'd
actually
be
here
just
two
and
a
half
years
into
the
administration
and
we're
here
because
of
all
of
you
in
the
extraordinary
surplus
that
provides
this
privilege,
but
four
billion
dollar
commitment
for
wellness
for
mental
health,
a
four
billion
dollar
commitment
for
universal
screening
and
access
to
real
treatment
based
upon
need
for
every
child
0
to
25
in
the
state
of
california,
the
most
comprehensive
transformational
youth,
behavioral
health
commitment.
This
state
has
ever
made.
G
That's
also
part
of
the
announcement
we're
making
here
today,
and
I
want
to
thank
dr
galley
for
his
incredible
support
and
stewardship
and
leadership,
and
those
points
of
connection
in
this
opportunity
are
self-evidently,
most
importantly,
defined
by
the
place
and
location
that
so
many
of
our
youth
are
each
and
every
day
during
the
school
year,
and
that's
why
school-based
counselors,
wellness
centers
at
school
sites
are
integral
in
advancing
that
cause.
That's
the
third
of
what
is
just
six
major
announcements
that
we're
making
here
today.
G
Let
me
briefly
sum
up
the
remaining
three
as
part
of
this
20
billion
dollar.
Transformational,
commitment
that
we
are
announcing
here
today,
in
addition
to
universal
support
for
all
four-year-olds,
with
tk,
for
all,
in
addition
to
the
three
billion
dollars
for
community
supports
and
wrap-around
services
through
a
community
school
model.
In
addition
to
the
four
billion
dollars
we
announced
on
behavioral
health
and
mental
health
for
our
kids,
we
also
want
to
fulfill
the
promise
that
was
made
and
promoted,
and
I
give
the
former
governor
enormous
credit
for
proposition
49.
G
Arnold
schwarzenegger
made
a
commitment
and
the
people
of
california
back
that
commitment
up,
provide
support
services
after
school
before
school
and
support
services
for
activities
and
enrichment
during
the
summer
that
was
the
after
school
for
all
initiative.
The
problem
is
that
set-aside
became
a
ceiling,
not
just
a
floor
at
about
500
550
million
dollars
a
year,
wasn't
enough
to
provide
comprehensive,
after-school
programs
and
for
all
the
good
intention
and
for
all
the
promotion.
G
We've
never
been
able
to
fill
that
universal
commitment.
Until
today,
we
are
announcing
today
a
commitment
that,
over
the
next
number
of
years,
will
total
five
billion
dollars
each
and
every
year,
starting
with
one
billion
dollars
this
year,
but
a
commitment
to
fully
implement
and
to
fully
advance
that
call
for
universal
after
school
all
up
and
down
the
state
of
california
we're
going
to
get
it
done
once
and
for
all.
G
G
Without
all
of
you-
and
I
appreciate
the
superintendent's
direct
recognition
of
each
and
every
one
of
you
and
the
power
and
potency
and
importance
that
was
placed
years
ago
by
the
incredible
work
of
linda,
darling,
hammond
at
stanford
university
and
all
the
work
she's
done
nationally
advising
on
education
reform.
One
of
her
principal
calling
cards
is
her
expertise.
G
And
by
the
way
on
the
tk,
we're
cutting
the
ratios
in
half
from
24
to
one
down
to
12
to
one
with
an
additional
740
million
dollar
investment.
So
we
mean
business
when
it
comes
to
these
ratios
and
I'll.
Just
conclude.
By
making
two
additional
announcements,
we
talked
about
something
like
the
phrase
learning
loss
because
they
said
you
can't
lose
something
you
never
had,
which
I
understood.
G
We
want
to
have
interventions
with
high
dose
tutoring
to
address
some
of
the
anxiety
and
some
of
the
gaps
because
of
the
fits
and
start
over
this
last
school
year
and
so
we're
putting
an
additional
2.6
billion
dollars,
specifically
targeted
at
scientifically
based,
really
effective,
high
dose,
tutoring
and
investments
that
we
think
can
make
a
real
impact
across
the
spectrum
in
our
k-12
education
system.
But
I
will
just
finally
say
that
all
that's
nice,
but
one
of
the
things
I'm
most
excited
about
is
this
final
announcement
today
tune
in
friday
for
more
on
education.
G
It
is
a
I
one
of
the
issues
that
just
infuriates,
I
think
all
of
us
is
that
we
live
in
a
society
of
haves
and
have-nots.
We
talk
often
about
income
inequality.
We
don't
always
talk
about
wealth
inequality
as
much
as
I
think
we
should
talk
about
assets
and
the
disparities
in
assets
and
opportunities.
I
had
the
privilege
over
the
course
of
many
many
years
and
I'm
my
firstborn
montana,
to
open
up
a
529
account.
G
Not
everyone
can
afford
a
529
account.
Not
everybody
could
start
to
seed
those
investments
early
on
to
create
a
college
going
mindset
within
the
family
and
went
into
the
minds
of
our
children.
In
fact,
the
vast
majority
of
folks
never
even
heard
of
a
529
account
can
never
even
imagine
getting
the
tax
benefits.
Wealthy
families
are
able
to
get
one
of
the
things
I
was
very
proud
of.
As
mayor
of
san
francisco
is
we
created
a
small
program
called
kindergarten
to
college.
G
We
became
the
first
city
in
the
united
states
of
america
to
open
up
child
college
savings
accounts
to
incoming
kindergartners.
It
was
a
very
exciting
program.
I
remember
announcing
with
the
obama
administration
and
we've
seen
it
replicated
in
some
communities
up
and
down
the
state.
Last
year
we
ought
to
put
25
million
dollars
to
build
on
some
pilots
around
the
state.
G
25
million
dollars
was
not
going
to
ultimately
change
directory
for
folks
and
that's
why
today,
I'm
very
pleased
to
announce
that
we
are
going
to
open
up
if
we
are
successful
with
this
proposal,
it
is
not
prop
98
money.
This
is
general
fund
money,
additional
resources
to
open
up
3.7
million
child
savings
accounts
in
providing
opportunities
for
every
low-income
californian
that
enters
into
our
school
system
to
have
their
own
personal
savings
account
seating
it
with
500
dollars,
foster
and
homeless,
use
an
additional
five
hundred
dollars.
G
No
state
in
american
history
has
ever
done
anything
like
this
at
the
scale
we
are
committing
to
do
it,
and
then
every
first
grader
will
coming
in
will
build
off
that
and
provide
hundreds
of
millions
of
dollars
of
additional
resources
to
build
those
accounts.
If
you
believe
in
going
to
college,
you
got
to
create
a
college
calling
mindset
and
once
a
mind
just
stretched.
It
never
goes
back
to
its
original
form.
G
G
So
forgive
me
for
being
so
long-winded.
I'm
just
profoundly
enthusiastic
about
joining
all
of
you
here
today.
I'm
so
grateful
for
this
privilege
and
opportunity
to
look
at
transforming
public
education
in
the
state
of
california
was
transformed
last
year
for
all
the
wrong
reasons.
We're
now
going
to
transform
it
in
the
next
five
years
for
all
the
right
reasons
and
no
longer
will
we
be
bottom
and
per
pupil,
expen
finishers
and
this
state
and
our
kids,
I
assure
you,
are
top
of
our
agenda.
G
So
forgive
me
again
for
all
the
time,
but
I
wanted
folks
to
understand
the
attention
we're
placing
on
these
issues
and
what
we
hope
is
the
power
and
potency
of
this
20
billion
dollar
transformation
of
our
public
education
system
that
we
are
presenting
formally
again
friday
to
the
california
legislature
for
their
consideration.
With
that,
we
are
happy
to
take
any
questions.
H
Governor
welcome
to
the
central
coast
welcome
to
the
central
coast.
My
name
is
adriana,
frederick
sutton
from
univision.
I
have
a
question
for
you.
What
are
you
doing
regarding
the
digital
divide,
so
that
students
have
access
to
internet,
knowing
that
it's
been
a
really
big
problem
in
the
central
coast
and
california?
Thank
you.
G
We
are
going
to
be
making
a
rather
significant
announcement
on
friday
and
at
my
own
peril.
I
think
I've
announced
enough
today
I'll
leave
it
at
that,
but
we're
not
we're
not
we
will
not
be.
I
can
assure
you
this
playing
in
the
margins
on
addressing
the
digital
divide
and
looking
at
access
looking
at
quality
and
looking
at
universal
opportunities
that
not
only
include
access
to
broadband
but
devices
as
well.
I
G
I
mentioned
that
2.6
billion
dollars
for
tutoring
at
2.6
billion
dollars
for
accelerated
learning
that
2.6
billion
dollars
builds
on
the
4.6
billion
dollars
that
was
approved
and
advanced
in
a
proposal
that
was
codified
and
supported
by
the
legislature
in
march.
All
around
supporting
our
ability
to
safely
reopen
our
schools
for
in-person
instruction,
and
so
that
is
the
expectation,
certainly
mine
and
will
be
the
case
again
june.
30Th
at
midnight
in
statute.
G
Well,
we're
looking
to
expand
the
opportunities
that
are
being
expanded
just
right
here
in
this
elementary
school
and
that's
providing
year-round
education
6
a.m
to
6
00
p.m.
Summer
school,
they
already
have
a
wait
list
here
for
summer
school
we're
seeing
the
vast
majority.
I
think
mr
superintendent,
it's
90,
plus
percent
of
the
districts
providing
summer
school
in
richmond
across
the
board.
G
Resources
they've
never
had
in
the
past
to
be
able
to
do
that
and
support
those
enrichment
and
wraparound
activities
and
supports-
and
we
also
are
looking
and
linda's,
been
talking
a
lot
about
this
writing
a
lot
about
this.
Look
we're
still
stuck
on
an
agrarian
calendar.
That
means
a
lot
more
here
in
monterey
county
than
in
other
parts
of
the
state,
but
this
notion
that
we
have
to
be
stuck
in
a
mindset
for
a
world.
That's
changed
a
bit
from
bygone
eras
suggests.
G
Perhaps
we
can
reimagine
and
rethink
the
school
day
the
school
year
and
start
to
provide
the
kind
of
flexibility
and
resources
that
are
necessary
to
do
that
and
we're
allowing
in
the
language
we
refer
to
as
our
trailer
bill,
as
well
as
the
resources
we're
putting
up
to
provide
districts
like
this,
the
ability
to
reimagine
their
school
year
in
their
enrichment
programs
to
address
not
just
learning
loss.
Thank
you,
but
also
to
accelerate
learning
and
address
equity,
foundationally
and
again.
G
G
Plan
a
is
to
continue
to
keep
our
vaccine
rates
going
we're
1.1
percent
positivity.
We
had
1931
cases
today.
Our
case
rate
remains
stable
and
among
the
lowest
in
the
nation,
the
positivity
rate
remains
stable,
it's
among
the
lowest
in
the
nation.
If
we
continue
with
our
vaccine
rates,
just
shy
of
33
million
doses
have
been
administered,
we're
not
backing
away
from
requesting
the
full
allocation
from
the
federal
government,
2
million
76
000
doses.
We
ordered
this
week
from
the
federal
government.
That's
the
full
allotment
that
we're
afford.
G
If
we
continue
in
the
rate
of
administration,
continue
to
see
people
take
advantage
of
the
opportunity
to
get
vaccinated,
then
there's
no
question
plan
a
is
the
only
plan
we
need
and
june
15th
number
of
weeks
away,
we'll
move
beyond
the
blueprint
and
we'll
be
in
a
completely
different
space.
Now
I
want
to
clarify
in
that
context
that
we
will
be
updating
our
mask
guidelines
outdoor
masking,
if
we
reach
that
threshold,
where
we
hope
to
be
will
be
substantially
in
fact,
will
be
eliminated.
G
Those
mandates
there'll
be
guidelines
and
recommendations,
but
for
indoor
activities
we
will
still
have
likely
some
mass
guidelines
and
mandates,
but
we
hope
sooner
than
later
that
those
will
be
lifted
as
well,
but
the
bottom
line
is
we'll:
go
back
to
most
broad
strokes,
a
semblance
of
normalcy.
If
we
continue
down
this
path
in
the
next
five
weeks
and
I'm
confident
based
on
all
the
good
work,
that's
being
done
all
throughout
the
state
that
will
reach
those
goals.
K
G
Yeah
we're
looking
county
by
county
region
by
region,
making
determinations
on
the
basis
of
hydrology
on
the
basis
of
storage
and
need.
We
announced
first
two
counties
in
a
drought
emergency
in
sonoma
and
mendocino
county.
Just
over
three
weeks
ago,
just
two
days
ago,
I
was
out
in
the
central
valley
out
here
central
coast,
central
valley,
announcing
that
we
added
an
additional
39
counties
to
that
list.
A
total
now
of
41..
I
made
the
point
that
we
will
flex
up
as
needed
and
we're
mindful
of
changing
conditions
in
real
time.
G
We
also
announced
a
5.1
billion
dollar
package
to
support
safe
drinking
water
to
support
water
system
improvements.
Those
include
systems
out
here
in
monterey
county,
improve
support
here
in
the
county
as
well.
I
appreciate
the
privilege
of
everybody's
time
I'm
really
grateful
and
humbled
that
the
superintendent
joined
us
and
I
thank
him
for
all
his
extraordinary
leadership
during
these
trying
times.
G
It's
wonderful,
as
always
to
be
with
linda
darlene,
hammond
and
her
remarkable
leadership
and
partnership,
and
to
have
dr
galley
here,
just
showing
a
sense
of
urgency
and
opportunity
to
develop
partnerships
with
communities,
counties,
community-based
organizations
and
the
health
and
human
service
agency,
integrate
them
with
our
public
education
system
to
the
principal
superintendent
county,
local
superintendent,
we're
incredibly
grateful
and
all
the
educators
it's
remarkable
elementary
school.
Thank
you.
Take
care,
everybody.
