If
you

already,
no,
not
for
those
of
you
joining
online,
the
people

We
do
expect
courtesy
and
respect
in
this
committee.
A
We
don't
always
agree
on
le
on
policy,
but
we
need
to
be
respectful
of
one
another.
What
else
meeting
materials
can
be
found
on
the
committee's
website
annelise
and
for
those
of
you
who
are
watching
online?
Several
of
us
do
have
many
screens
we're
looking
at
in
this
virtual
world.
So
if
we
are
looking
away,
don't
take
it
as
a
a
sign
of
disrespect,
so
we
have
three
hearings
today
and
I
have
allocated
equal
time
and
testimony
for
support,
opposition
and
neutral
each
person.
A
A
Then
we
are
going
to
go
to
sb,
342
and
end
with
sb102.
So
with
that
superintendent
ebert.
If
you
would
like
to
come
up
to
the
dyess,
we
also
have
director
mcgill,
who
will
be
right
behind
and
ready
to
come
up
afterwards.
So
please,
superintendent,
ebert,
welcome
to
the
committee
and
begin
when
you're
ready.
C
Thank
you,
chair
bilbray
axelrod,
vice
chair
miller
committee
members.
For
the
record,
my
name
is
joan
ebert,
I'm
the
state
superintendent
of
public
instruction.
So
before
you
today,
you
have
a
bill
which
we
call
our
crisis
management
bill.
It
was
pre-filed
by
the
governor
on
behalf
of
the
department
of
education.
C
Senator
lang
provided
a
friendly
amendment
renaming
the
development
committee
to
crisis
committee
to
better
reflect
their
duties.
I
know
there's
an
amendment
there
as
well
renaming
the
committee
updated
beef
was
in
the
first
reprint
for
you.
Senator
dennis
also
provided
an
amendment
in
section
2,
subsection
2e,
that
the
parent
or
legal
guardian
member
of
a
committee
may
not
be
filled
by
an
individual
employed
by
the
school
district
or
charter
school.
C
A
friendly
amendment
was
submitted
by
the
statewide
schools
safety
task
force
to
update
language
with
national
best
practices
in
emergency
management
and
response,
and
finally,
section
7
expands
the
definition
of
an
outbreak
of
a
de
of
a
disease
as
well.
Thank
you
and
I
will
take
any
questions
you
may
have
at
this
time.
A
D
If,
if
I
caught
that
correctly,
this
was
the
section
that
they
advised
to
amend
out,
and
I
will
note
that
I
was
the
vice
chair
of
the
school
safety
task
force
originally
and
it's
in
its
formation
under
governor
sandoval,
and
I
this
really
stood
out
to
me
as
curious
as
to
why
we
were
taking
out
the
sections
relating
to
these
two
sections
in
subsection
two
of
section
five.
So
could
you
elaborate
a
little
bit
more
on
that.
C
For
the
record
superintendent
ebert,
those
components
actually
are
added
back
in
and
I'm
going
to
need
to
phone.
My
friend
christy
back
into
section,
and
actually
we.
E
B
B
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair
amanda,
mr
committee
council.
I'm
also
not
finding
it.
I
don't
want
to
say
it's
not
in
there,
but
I'm
not
finding
it
either.
D
Please,
thank
you,
madam
chair,
so
I
just
to
get
it
clear
on
the
record.
It's
my
understanding
that
the
intent
is
not
to
take
that
out,
because
we
of
course,
would
very
much
want
our
emergency
management
and
law
enforcement
to
still
be
part
of
our
crisis
response
plan.
So
just
to
be
clear
on
the
record,
I
heard
you
say
that
that's
not
the
intent
and
hopefully,
if,
for
some
reason
it
wasn't
put
back
in
it,
you
would
be
amenable
to
making
sure
that
we
amend
that
back
in
the
final
version.
A
B
Thank
you
chair
and
I
had
a
quick
question
about
the
makeup
of
the
committee.
I
was
looking
at
section
2.2
and
the
list
of
at
least
one
representative
of
several
groups.
It
looks
like
there's
about
12
people
that
could
be
in
this
committee.
So
is
there
a
maximum
number
of
people
that
could
be
in
this
committee
and
how
many
are
on
the
current
committee.
C
Superintendent
ebert
for
the
record,
all
of
these
components.
These
representatives
are
currently
sitting
on
the
committee.
There
are
not
any
members
that
are
missing.
I
will
tell
you
that
they
have
worked
since
january
is
when
we
were
able
to
get
them
doing
their
work
and,
when
necessary,
the
team.
Our
team
works
not
only
with
this
committee,
but
also
other
groups
across
the
united
united
states
across
nevada.
B
A
And
I
know
we
have
miss
anderson
on
from
washoe
county.
I
didn't
know
if
you
wanted
to
speak
to
the
amendment
with
of
the
name
change
on
the.
F
Committee,
thank
you.
Madam
chair
lindsay
anderson
from
the
washoe
county
school
district.
As
superintendent
ebert
mentioned
on
the
senate
side,
senator
lange
during
the
original
hearing
on
february
3rd
indicated
that
the
term,
in
the
current
bill,
citing
development
committee,
caused
a
little
bit
of
confusion
that
it
sounded
more
like
a
fundraising
group,
and
so
she
recommended
changing
that
to
crisis
committee.
F
After
that
amendment
was
adopted,
it
was
identified
that
within
the
school
district
we
have
several
other
crisis
committees
that
are
actually
responsible
for
responding
in
an
emergency
situation
and
it
was
causing
confusion
among
our
staff
and
so
working
with
our
emergency
manager
and
the
superintendent
and
senator
lang.
I've
submitted
an
amendment
to
nellis.
F
I
would
change
the
name
of
the
committee
to
the
emergency
operations
plan
development
committee
to
make
sure
there's
no
confusion
about
what
their
role
is,
and
this
would
align
that
name
to
fema's
guide
to
developing
high
quality
emergency
operations
plans,
and
so
that
was
submitted
to
your
committee
for
your
consideration
and
it's
my
understanding
that
the
superintendent
and
department
consider
this
as
a
friendly
amendment.
Thank
you.

Good
afternoon
sarah

accelerated
members
of
the
education
committee.
My
name
is
leonardo

o
b
e
n
a
v.
I
d
e
s
with
the
clark
county
school
district,
testifying
today
in
support
of
sb
36
and
the
friendly
amendment
provided
by
the
washoe
county
school
district
student
safety
is
a
top
priority
for
the
district
and
the
work
of
our
committees
that
address
students
in
crisis
has
become
important
to
this
mission.
F
We
are
supportive
having
regular
input
from
the
county
and
the
district
board
of
health,
as
well
as
the
additional
transparency
that
sp
36
provides.
In
addition,
the
amendment
to
change
the
name
of
these
committees
to
the
emergency
operations
plan
development
committee
is
helpful
in
that
it
avoids
confusion
with
our
school-based
committees.
So
ccsc
is
here
today
in
full
support
of
sb
36.
Thank
you
for
your
time.

I
Senator
dennis
I'll
start
out
and
we've
got
several
that
are
going
to
chime
in
as
we
go.
Thank
you,
madam
chair
members
of
this
assembly
education
committee
for
the
record,
senator
mo
dennis
representing
senate
district
2..
Today,
I'm
presenting
senate
bill
342,
which
will
further
leverage
collaborations
between
nevada's
higher
education
institutions
and
community
partners.
I
have
the
distinct
pleasure
to
introduce
my
co-presenters
with
me
today,
which
you
have
alluded
to
already.
I
We
have
brian
sandoval,
president
of
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
and
former
governor
dr
thomas
schwenk,
who's,
the
dean
of
the
unr
school
of
medicine,
dr
anthony
flolan,
president
chief
executive
officer
of
renowned
health.
We
might
even
have
dr
dubrava.
I
know
he
was
then
with
us
over
on
the
senate
side,
but
I'd
like
to
briefly
just
summarize
what
the
bill
does
before.
I
turn
things
over
to
them
well
and
then
they'll
expand
on
the
points
and
provide
more
context
as
to
why
this
bill
is
needed.
I
Senate
bill
342
authorizes
the
board
of
regents
to
enter
into
an
agreement
to
affiliate
with
a
publicly
or
privately
owned
medical
facility
or
related
entity
to
further
promote
and
enhance
medical
education
or
health
education
programs
at
a
university.
The
bill
further
provides
that
such
agreements
are
subject
to
policies
established
by
the
board,
and
one
thing
I
just
want
to
point
out,
even
though
we've
got
folks
here
that
are
presenting
from
unr
this
is.
This
can
also
be
used
by
unlv
to
do
these
types
of
agreements.
I
So
with
that,
madam
chair
and
members
committee,
thank
you
for
your
consideration
of
the
bill
and
I
urge
your
support
of
sb,
342
and
I'll
turn
it
over.
To
my,
I
think
I
think
president
sandoval
is
going
to
go
through.
I
remember
right
from
the
when
we
did
it
before.
A
We
are
getting
a
bobbin
head
from
mr
flores
here,
so
thank
you,
president
sandoval,
and
go
ahead.
J
J
The
partnership
will
advance
the
teaching
and
clinical
research
missions
of
renowned
health
and
the
university
of
nevada
reno
school
of
medicine.
Today
I
am
joined
by
dr
thomas
schwenk,
dean
of
the
university
of
nevada,
reno
school
of
medicine
and
dr
tony
sloanum,
ceo
of
renowned
health.
They
will
walk
the
committee
through
the
bill
and
provide
an
overview
of
the
affiliation
between
or
the
proposed
affiliation
between
you
and
our
med
and
renowned
health.
J
K
Thank
you.
I
apologize.
I
apologize
that
I
have
to
be
in
my
car,
I'm
actually
serving
as
a
driver
for
my
wife
who's
having
a
minor
medical
procedure,
and
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
testify
from
this
location.
I
apologize
I'm
not
in
a
better
spot
tom
schweink
dean
of
the
university
of
nederino
school
of
medicine.
K
Thank
you
again,
madam
chair,
and
to
the
committee
for
considering
this
bill,
and
thank
you
to
senator
dennis
for
introducing
this
and
managing
this
process
in
the
senate
and
then
bringing
it
here
and
and
greatest
thanks
to
president
sandoval
for
his
very
detailed
understanding
of
the
importance
of
this
bill.
K
Our
current
clinical
platform
consists
of
our
own,
very
small
primary
care
practice
with
family
medicine
and
internal
medicine
and
psychiatry
faculty
members
and
then
dependent
on
a
huge
number
of
volunteer
physicians
for
our
clinical
teaching,
and
that
has
been
quite
satisfactory
to
this
point
and
we
thank
our
volunteer
physicians,
who
have
been
so
giving
of
their
time.
But
the
reality
is
that
medical
practice
is
changing
dramatically
and
it's
consolidating
into
large
systems
and
volunteer.
K
For
that
reason,
we
are
very
limited
in
the
size
of
our
medical
school
class
and
then
the
size
and
number
of
our
residency
training
programs
in
the
number
of
our
fellowship
training
programs,
and
so
we
have
a
hard
time
really
feeding
the
pipeline.
That's
needed
for
the
state
for
physician
workforce.
K
The
other
issue
is
that
we
are
very
limited
in
the
types
of
clinical
research
that
we
can
do.
That
will
actually
transform
medical
practice,
as
well
as
give
research
experiences
to
our
students
and
residents
who
need
this
badly.
For
their
applications
to
the
next
phase
of
their
education
and,
and
so
what
nearly
all
medical
schools
have
done
in
the
country
is
to
partner
with
large
health
systems
to
provide
a
much
larger
clinical
platform.
K
Hundreds
of
employed
physicians
in
in
many
specialties,
tens
of
thousands
of
patients,
tens
of
thousands
of
inpatients
really
hundreds
of
thousands
of
outpatient
visits,
and
this
allows
us
as
a
as
an
academic
institution,
then
to
tap
into
that
platform
for
teaching
and
research
purposes.
K
It
also
allows
us
to
integrate
our
clinical
practices
with
a
large
health
system.
As
I
mentioned,
our
practices
are
primary
care
in
nature,
and
the
reality
is
that
reimbursement
levels
are
service
to
underserved
patients.
Our
service
to
government,
sponsored
patients,
makes
our
clinical
practices
very
tenuous
and
very
fragile
and
and
the
way
those
practices
actually
have
value
is
to
have
downstream
benefits
to
the
health
system.
Where
we
refer
patients,
we
hospitalize
patients,
patients
have
surgical
procedures,
patients
have
imaging
procedures
and
so
to
integrate.
K
So
that's
a
very
short
version
of
235
page
agreement
that
we
have
developed
over
many
months
now,
there's
been
literally
thousands
of
person
hours
devoted
to
developing
this
agreement
in
a
very
sophisticated,
very
intense,
very
robust
way.
I
will
tell
you
that
I
consulted
many
deans.
I
am
very
familiar
with
many
deans
in
medical
schools
around
the
country,
as
well
as
seeing
some
of
their
agreements.
K
This
is
a
far
superior,
far
more
elegant,
far
more
robust
agreement
that
we're
hoping
you
will
give
support
to
the
regents
to
approve
and
give
guidance
to
the
regents
to
to
bless
this
process.
It
really
is
the
future
of
the
medical
school.
It
allows
us
to
increase
our
class
size.
It
allows
us
to
do
new
teaching
programs.
K
L
Thank
you,
dean
schwenk.
I
am
dr
tony
sloane
s-l-o-n-I-m
for
the
record
president
and
senior
ground
health,
joe
bilbray,
axelrod
and
committee
members.
Thank
you
for
hearing
today.
We
appreciate
the
opportunity
included
in
the
presentation
of
sb
342
and
a
special
thanks
to
senator
dennis
as
well.
This
is
a
short
but
important
bill.
Now
health
is
a
locally
owned
and
operated
private,
not-for-profit
integrated
health
care
delivery
network,
and
we
are
a
proud
and
long-term
partner
of
unrmed
since
the
very
first
class
of
residents.
L
We
are
excited
of
the
opportunity
to
develop
an
even
stronger
affiliation
that
we
believe
is
in
the
best
interest
of
students,
as
it
relates
to
their
clinical
education
and
our
community
for
their
health
and
their
health
care.
We
also
believe
we'll
be
able
to
work
together
and
have
a
positive
influence
on
workforce
opportunities
here
in
nevada
in
the
healthcare
sector,
as
you
heard,
from
dean
schrank.
This
public-private
partnership
also
has
the
added
benefit
of
enhancing
research
in
the
data.
Well,
beyond
what
either
organization
creates
individually.
L
This
is
a
contemporary
model
from
around
the
country
and
is
notable
because
we
will
now
be
able
to
work
together
to
help
improve
our
state's
health
more
efficiently
and
more
effectively
than
we
have
in
the
past.
Thank
you
for
allowing
me
to
participate
and
I'm
happy
to
answer
any
questions.
Thank
you.
A
And
is
that
the
that
is
everyone
who
is
presenting?
So
thank
you
very
much
for
the
presentation
and
we
don't
mind
at
all
that
you
are
in
your
car
when
we
hope
for
a
speedy
recovery
for
your,
your
wife
and
it
just
kind
of
shows
the
accessibility
of
this
building,
even
though
we
are
in
these
crazy
coveted
times.
I
know
I
have
a
few
questions,
but
I
know
that
vice
chair
miller
also
has
a
question,
so
I
will
go
to
you.
First.
B
Thank
you
chair
and
thank
you,
everyone
who
participated
in
presenting
this
bill.
My
questions.
I
actually
have
a
two-fold
question
and
the
first
one
because
the
bill
itself
is
pretty
brief,
and
so
the
first
one
is.
This
is
a
bill
that
is
very
permissive,
allowing
the
board
of
regents
to
come
enter
into
an
agreement.
So
my
first
one
is:
if
you
have
any
plans
or
direction
on
how
the
process
will
actually
go
for
accepting,
because
the
bill
actually
would
be
open
to
where
other
medical
facilities
and
arrangements
could
be
made.
B
So
is
there
something
in
the
process
or
selection?
That's
been
determined.
Also,
the
bill
just
simply
says
agreement.
So
I'm
wondering
not
only
is
there
some
type
of
designation
process
or
rfp
process,
but
will
the
agreement
be
contractual?
Is
it
going
to
be
an
articulation
agreement?
What
would
the
length
of
the
contract
be
and,
of
course,
if
the
shared
goals
weren't
met,
is
there
a
way
to
terminate
any
said
agreement
based
on
what
type
of
agreement
we
enter.
K
I
might
respond
initially,
madam
chair
tom
schweink,
for
the
record.
I
believe
we
may
have
joe
reynolds
the
general
counsel
for
the
nevada
system
of
higher
education
who
may
wish
to
respond
to
the
parts
of
that
question.
K
I
would
say
in
in
general
that
there's
a
specific
reason
why
this
partnership
is
being
explored
with
renowned
health
as
a
community-governed,
not-for-profit
entity
in
northern
nevada,
which
is
typically
the
way
medical
schools
seek
these
partnerships,
and-
and
there
are
a
number
of
logistical
and
resource
and
platform
reasons
why
that
partnership
is
so
superior
to
others
that
we
might
pursue
the
bill,
does
not
necessarily
specify
or
limit
the
exploration
of
those
partnerships,
but
this
this
specific
partnership
has
dozens
of
reasons
why
it
would
be
preferred
at
this
point,
the
the
agreement
as
it's
currently
constructed
would
be
taken
to
a
special
board
of
regents
meeting
on
thursday
for
detailed
presentation,
and
then
we
would
hope
that
another
special
meeting
would
be
called,
maybe
two
or
three
weeks,
hence
at
which
there
would
actually
be
endorsement
to
give
us
guidance
in
signing
the
actual
agreement.
K
So
we
we
have
presented
to
the
regents
three
times
now
with
updates
going
back
to
last
september,
and
we
would
hope
to
bring
this
to
some
conclusion
in
the
next
month
or
so.
The
length
of
the
agreement
right
now
is
specified
to
be
very
long
actually
50
years,
and
the
reason
for
that
is
because
we
are
coming
full
force
into
this
an
agreement,
and
we
want
to
kind
of
require
the
two
parties
to
get
over
the
various
speed
bumps
that
will
inevitably
occur.
K
So
we
really
want
the
two
to
be
tied
together
if
at
all
possible,
there
are
exit
clauses
and
there
are
various
methods
for
termination
for
unusual
circumstances
such
as
loss
of
our
accreditation,
for
example,
or
loss
of
hospital
certification.
But
we
really
want
to
make
this
a
a
permanent
agreement,
because
that's
the
way
these
agreements
have
been
constructed.
K
There
are
agreements
like
this
that
in
the
country
that
have
existed
for
40
plus
years
at
this
point
and
their
inevitable
ups
and
downs,
but
they
continue
to
stay
together
and,
if
possible,
I
I
don't
know
if
joe
reynolds
could
sign
on
to
answer
some
of
the
other
questions.
M
Madam
madam
chair,
through
you
to
vice
chair
miller,
my
name
is
joe
reynolds
j-o-e-r-e-y-n-o-l-d-s
and
I
am
the
chief,
a
legal
counsel
for
inchi
to
answer
your
question
with
respect
to
the
agreement.
Agreement
is
contemplated
as
being
a
contract,
and
so
fundamentally
there
would
be
a
contractual
relationship
between
the
parties
and,
as
senator
dennis
mentioned
at
the
outset
of
the
presentation.
M
Not
only
you
and
our
school
of
medicine,
but
the
university
of
nevada,
las
vegas
school
of
medicine,
and
so
it
is
intentionally
broad
as
it's
it's
not
necessarily
geared
towards
any
one
specific
agreement,
though
we
certainly
have
a
unr
agreement
with
renown
before
us,
but
we
don't
know
what
future
agreements
may
be
entered
into
between
either
unr
or
unlv,
and
so
it's
not
specific
to
any
length
or
term
in
the
actual
bill
and
is
intended
to
be
authorization
for
the
board
of
regents
to
enter
into
these
new
types
of
public-private
partnerships
to
expand
health
care
throughout
our.
A
And-
and
thank
you
if
you
would
just
stay
on
the
zoom
for
a
second,
mr
reynolds,
because
you
actually
touched
upon
a
question
of
mine.
I
believe
it
was.
A
I
don't
remember
who
it
was,
but
somebody
mentioned
the
length
of
the
contract,
which
I
believe
was
235
pages,
and
I
was
just
wondering-
is
that
something
that
will
be
shared
without
with
through
the
medical
school,
so
obviously
not
like
just
removing
one
name
and
putting
in
another,
but
is
it?
Is
it
sort
of
a
template
agreement
that
we
would
be
able
to
see
unlv
medical
school
using
or
even
you
and
r,
using
with
another,
perhaps
hospital
or
organization?
Is
that
something
is
that
where
we
see
this
going.
M
Joe
reynolds
for
the
record
to
to
chair
bill
very
actual
ride,
it
certainly
can
be,
and
so
before
this
is
finally
approved,
it
would
have
to
be
vetted
by
the
board
of
regents
in
the
public
meeting,
and
so
the
actual
agreement
will
be
a
public
document
for
for
all
to
see,
and
certainly
unlv
school
medicine
or
any
other
school
of
medicine
will
certainly
be
able
to
use
it,
though,
this
legislation
doesn't
mandate
that
it's
an
it's
a
template,
but
it
certainly
could
be
used
that
way.
A
K
Time,
tom
schweink
for
the
record
we
currently
have
in
the
vicinity
of
150
residents,
training,
mostly
in
family
medicine,
internal
medicine
and
psychiatry.
K
This
agreement
could
easily
double
that
through
new
residencies
in
pediatrics,
we've
talked
about
obstetrics
and
gynecology.
K
It's
taken
us
to
a
certain
level,
but
this
agreement
would
open
up
huge
new
opportunities
because
of
the
the
kind
of
the
partnership
of
the
clinical
platform
and
the
academic
expertise
coming
together
at
a
different
level.
So
the
short
answer
to
question
manager
is
that
I
think
we
could
easily
double
the
number
of
residents
depending
on
the
types
of
needs
that
the
community
perceives.
K
So
we
have
good
numbers
for
that.
Dr
john
packham,
who
you
may
know
tracks
these
things
very
carefully
and
the
general
rule
is
that
if
someone
graduates
from
our
medical
school
and
goes
away
for
training
elsewhere,
they
have
about
a
40
percent
chance
of
coming
back,
which
is
doesn't
sound
great.
It's
actually
better
than
is
true
for
many
schools.
There's
a
strong
attraction
to
coming
back.
K
If
a
resident
comes
from
another
medical
school
into
the
state
to
a
residency
program,
they
have
about
a
60
chance
of
staying
and
if
they
graduate
from
our
school
and
stay
in
the
state
to
train,
they
have
about
an
80
percent
chance
of
staying.
So
you
can
see
the
tremendous
advantage
of
two
things.
One
is
for
this
partnership
to
allow
expanding
our
class
size
and
second,
is
to
track
as
many
of
those
students
as
possible
into
our
own
programs,
so
that
they
have
a
very
high
likelihood
of
staying
in
the
state
to
practice.
A
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill.
I
think
it's
much
needed
here
in
nevada.
I
guess
two
questions
that
I
have
right
now
as
it
stands
for
the
and
I'll
talk
about
the
unr
medical
students.
The
only
option
they
have
at
at
least
volunteering
is
at
the
student
outreach
clinic
correct
on
the
campus.
B
K
B
And
do
we
know
why
this
hasn't
been
an
issue
before
as
far
as
having
an
agreement
with
renown
or
obviously,
if
it's
at
unlv
med
school
with
one
of
the
hospitals
there?
Why
did
we
wait
so
long.
K
K
Now,
of
course,
two
medical
school
schools,
instead
of
one
marked
increase
in
the
number
of
residency
positions
in
las
vegas,
with
some
of
the
other
health
systems
coming
into
play.
K
Big
expansion
with
unlv
under
dean
mark
khan
and
his
relationship
with
umc,
and
I
I
feel
like
the
state-
has
just
now
kind
of
come
into
its
own
in
terms
of
exploring
the
types
of
relationships
that
really
have
existed
in
in
most
other
states
around
the
country,
and
so
I
guess
one
answer
to
your
question
is
that
we
were
just
behind
that
the
schools
were
small
and
we
were
conducting
our
affairs
as
best
we
could
on
a
volunteer
basis
and
the
changing
nature
of
medical
practice
and
the
power
of
academic
and
clinical
systems
coming
together
to
meet
both
missions.
K
So
this
will
enhance,
renounce
clinical
missions.
It
will
enhance
our
academic
missions
that
has
become
really
the
the
defining
feature
of
medical
education
around
the
country
and
and
we're
we're
just
kind
of
getting
to
it.
At
this
point,
and
I
would
also
say
that
you
know
like
a
lot
of
things.
These
are
sort
of
the
right
people
at
the
right
time
under
the
right
circumstances
to
finally
seize
upon
this
opportunity-
and
I
think
that's
happened
here
as
well.
E
Thank
you
chair.
Thank
you
all
for
being
here.
I
I
love
this
bill
and
it's
a
pleasure
to
be
able
to
have
you
present
it
today
as
a
proud
parent
of
a
university
of
nevada,
med
school
student
who
graduated
shortly
when
dean
schwenk
took
over
and
was
certainly
impressed
with
your
leadership
and
we're
one
of
the
fortunate
ones
to
get
a
doctor
back,
he
left
to
go
to
mayo,
but
he
came
back
so
the
draw
of
nevada
was
strong
for
him
and
we're
grateful
for
that.
E
So
I
wanted
to
see
with
this
in
place
what
it
looked
like,
what
it
looks
like
now.
For
instance,
a
med
school
student
at
the
university
of
nevada
reno
would
do
a
rotation
in
ob
and
trauma
at
umc.
They
would
uproot
for
five
months,
go
and
live
in
las
vegas
and-
and
there
was
great
training
there,
but
will
that
change?
Will
the
students
be
able
to
stay
here
locally
and
be
involved
in
in
having
that
kind
of
a
rotation
here.
K
Thank
you
for
that
question
tom
schweink,
for
the
record.
When
we
separated
from
our
las
vegas
campus
in
2017,
we
moved
to
a
model
in
which
our
students
did
all
of
their
rotations
in
the
north
did
not
go
to
las
vegas.
But
again
those
were
done
through
volunteer
physicians
and
through
some
rotations
at
renowned,
as
well
as
with
other
facilities.
K
We
actually
have
medical
student
relationships
with
essentially
every
medical
facility
from
south
lake
barton
to
elko,
but
what
this
agreement
does
is
to
take
this
to
a
whole
other
level
in
terms
of
integrated
governance
funds
flow
that
will
support
teaching
by
renowned
physicians,
integration
of
our
clinical
research
infrastructures.
That
will
lead
to
new
experiences
for
students
and
residents,
and
it
actually
takes
the
unr
renowned
relationship,
which
is
kind
of
medium-ish
right
now
into
a
much
higher
level
and
actually
takes
it
past.
K
The
current
unlv
umc
relationship,
but
we're
hoping
that
unlv
and
umc
will
see
this
as
an
opportunity
because
of
your
support
of
this
bill
to
consider
again
a
higher
level
academic
medical
center
relationship.
So
there
are
sort
of
stepwise
levels
of
integration
and
and
this
will
actually
create
the
kind
of
model
that
that
that
you
were
used
to
with
your
son
in
long
ago
days
in
las
vegas,
but
it'll
actually
take
it
beyond
that.
A
D
Okay,
thank
you.
So
I'm
just
thank
you
so
much
for
this
presentation.
I
too
am
very
supportive
and
excited
about
it.
I'm
just
curious
because
you
already
have
an
existing
relationship
with
renown
and,
as
you
mentioned,
you
know,
umc
in
hospitals.
Is
there
a
statutory
limitation
that
we're
trying
to
fix
with
this
legislation?
That's
keeping
you
from
entering
into
this
authorizing
relationship
and
why
why
we
need
this
bill
right
now.
K
K
It's
possible
that
some
other
statutes
might
have
been
permissive
in
this
regard,
but
we
actually
think
that
this
gives
great
power
to
the
school
and
to
renown
to
come
together
under
your
guidance
as
well
as
enfranchising
unlv.
To
do
the
same
thing,
we
believe
this
is
the
direction
of
academic
medicine
and
medical
education,
and
so
we
are
very
much
enthused
about
unlv's
prospects
as
well.
M
Thank
you.
Thank
you,
joe
reynolds
for
the
record,
through
chair,
billboard,
sword
to
assemblywoman
torres.
If
you
go
back
to
article
11
of
our
constitution,
the
legislature
is
authorized
to
prescribe
the
duties
of
the
board
of
regents
and,
as
dean
schwenk
mentioned,
there
was
a
way
to
to
to
perhaps
piece
together
the
authority
of
the
board
of
regents
to
move
forward
on
this.
M
But
thinking
you
know,
a
house
is
only
as
strong
as
its
foundation
and
my
recommendation
is
that
we
wanted
a
song,
a
strong
legal
foundation
and
what
you
heard
from
some
of
the
presenters
today
that
this
is
a
new
level
of
affiliation
and
wanted
to
present
this
to
the
legislature,
to
be
come,
stakeholders
and
and
have
the
express
authorization
of
the
legislature
to
move
forward
with
this
specific
agreement,
as
well
as
others
that
might
come
forward
in
the
future.
D
D
So
I
just
want
to
hearken
back
to
an
explanation
in
in
response
to
assemblywoman
or
excuse
me.
Vice
chair,
miller's
questions
about
the
timeline
and
the
process,
and
I
heard
you
say
that
there's
a
board
of
regents
meeting
next
week
and
that
your
hope
is
to
get
this
approved
sometime
even
after
that
within
the
next
month.
And
so
could
you
just
speak
to
you
know
the
timeline
here.
M
Joe
reynolds
chief
counsel
for
the
record
to
assemblywoman
torres
and
president
sandoval
may
be
able
to
to
elaborate
on
this
more.
The
board
of
regents
meeting
that
was
mentioned
is
just
an
information
only
item
for
president
sandoval
and
dean
schwenk
and
dr
sloanum.
To
give
an
update
to
the
board
on
the
progress
of
this.
M
There
would
be
no
board
of
regents
needing
to
review
any
final
affiliation
if
and
when
the
legislature
would
approve
this
bill
and
if
and
when
it
would
be
signed
into
law
by
the
governor,
and
so
no
formal
vote
would
be
on
this
or
scheduled
on
this.
Until
this
bill
moves
through.
A
A
I
am
not
seeing
anyone
running
up
to
testify.
I
don't
believe
we
have
anyone
on
zoom
other
than
the
folks
who
already
testified,
so
I
will
go
to
the
phone
lines
bps.
Do
we
have
anyone
on
the
phone
line
who
is
prepared
to
speak
in
support
of
assembly
bill?
I'm
sorry
senate
bill
342.
I
don't
know
my
glasses
on
great.
G
H
G
G
G
G
A
G
G
I
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
just
if
you've
already
heard
and
you've
heard
from
all
the
the
folks
that
are
involved.
This
is
what
allow
us
to
move
forward
into
the
future
in
not
only
medical
education
but
health
care
for
nevada
and
providing
these
collaborative
type
cooperation
between
entities.
So
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
bring
the
bill
and
thank
you
and
urge
support.
Thank
you.
A
O
O
Good
afternoon,
madame
chair,
billboard
axelrod
I
for
the
record.
My
name
is
scott
hammond
senator
hammond
for
senate
district
18..
O
I
really
I
know
I
could
have
phoned
in
done
a
zoom
meeting
with
you,
but
I
couldn't
resist
the
opportunity
to
come
up
to
the
assembly
for
the
first
time
this
session
and
actually
present
in
front
of
you,
because
I've
never
had
the
feel
of
a
hockey
game
like
this
before
so
it's
kind
of
nice.
But
I
appreciate
the
opportunity.
I
hope
you
guys
can
hear
me
hope.
I'm
loud
enough.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
senate
bill
102
for
your
consideration.
O
I
appreciate
you,
madam
chair
and
men
of
vice
chair
and
members
of
the
of
the
education
committee
here
in
the
assembly
I,
like
I
said
I
represent
senate
district
102
and
with
me
today
I
have,
I
hope
there.
She
is
miss
kate,
katie,
lackey
she's,
the
principal
of
sky
canyon,
campus
of
the
somerset
academy
of
las
vegas
she's,
going
to
provide
some
more
context
to
the
bill
itself.
But
I'll
say
this
about
the
bill.
O
O
A
national
longitudinal
longitudinal
study,
made
available
by
the
university
of
southern
of
southern
california
usc
center
for
economic
and
social
research
indicates
that
entering
kindergarten
at
an
older
age
has
significant
positive
effects
on
children's
social
behavioral
skills
through
the
elementary
school
years.
Others
believe
that
certain
children
can
begin
school
early.
O
I
think
we
all
hope
for
the
this
ideal
scenario
where
all
kids
have
access
to
school
as
early
as
possible.
However,
this
discussion
is
not
so
simple
from
a
public
policy
perspective.
Many
kids
are
just
not
ready
to
begin
school
in
the
national
longitudinal
study
from
usc.
The
researchers
point
out
that
differences
in
reading
and
math
scores
or
test
scores
between
older
and
younger
kindergarten
pupils
quote
start
out
large
at
school
entry
and
diminish
over
time.
O
One
of
the
most
critical
lessons
is
learning
to
read.
If
a
child
is
not
socially
and
behaviorally
ready
to
learn
when
they
enter
school,
how
can
they
successfully
build
a
strong
foundation
of
early
reading
skills
in
the
last
several
years,
this
legislature
has
focused
a
lot
of
attention
and
money
on
intervention
services
such
as
those
for
struggling
readers.
O
Why
not
do
something
proactive
rather
than
reactive,
in
this
regard,
so
what
I
have
for
you
today
is
pretty
simple
senate
bill.
102
seeks
to
change
the
date
in
which
a
student
can
enroll
in
kindergarten
and
in
the
the
revised
vision
that
every
in
the
revised
version
that
you
have
before
you.
We
have
changed
the
date.
There's
two
things.
Basically,
that
we're
looking
to
do
you
know
all
students
must
be
five
years
of
age
before
august
7th
and
of
course,
we
won't
begin
that
transition
until
2022.
O
I
have
contacted
the
chair
of
assembly
education
and
discussed
a
potential
amendment,
because
we
have,
over
the
last
few
years,
seen
changes
in
when
start
dates
begin.
It
seemed
pretty
practical
to
go
ahead
and
change
it
from
august
7th
to
just
basically
saying
that
students
must
be
of
five
years
of
age
before
entering
the
start
date,
whatever
the
start
date
is
for
that
particular
district,
although
most
of
them
are
about
the
same
time
now,
the
second
week
of
august.
O
N
N
N
Just
about
a
year
and
a
half
ago,
senator
hammond
came
to
my
school
for
a
visit,
and
I
was
speaking
to
him
about
my
desire
to
change
the
age
in
which
a
child
must
be
to
enter
school.
I'm
going
to
quickly
share
my
screen.
I
just
have
a
brief
presentation.
I'd
like
to
share
with
you.
While
I
speak-
and
I
hope
you
are
all
able
to
see
that
blue
screen
after
I
supplied
senator
hammond
with
some
critical
data.
I
encouraged
him
to
bring
forth
this
bill
to
all
of
you.
N
As
he
stated,
this
bill
revises
the
date
by
which
children
must
be
at
least
a
certain
age
to
be
admitted
to
certain
grades
of
school
and,
as
stated
previously,
it
does
change
the
date
and,
as
senator
hammond
explained
originally,
we
had
august
1st
written
in
the
bill
that
was
amended
then
to
reflect
the
date
of
august
7th
and
now
again
looks
like
it
will
be
amended
to
say
before
the
start
of
school.
At
least
we
hope
so
in
2010,
nrs
392.040
determined
the
age
in
which
students
must
be
in
order
to
enter
school.
N
However,
in
2017
the
majority
of
our
schools
in
nevada
moved
the
start
of
school
year.
Up
by
two
weeks.
However,
the
age
date
did
not
adjust
accordingly,
so
under
the
current
bill,
a
kindergarten
student
can
enter
kindergarten
at
the
beginning
of
august
at
age,
four
and
essentially
be
four
years
old
for
almost
one
entire
quarter
of
the
school
year
developmentally.
This
can
be
detrimental
to
the
younger
student
students
who
enter
kindergarten
at
age.
Four
potentially
are
in
a
class
with
students
who
are
a
whole
year
older
than
they
are
as
a
solution.
N
N
Did
some
pulled
some
data
up,
and
some
of
my
findings
indicate
that
this
is
a
graph
depicting
the
entrance
age
by
date
for
each
state
in
the
united
states
of
america,
as
you
can
see,
nevada
is
one
of
the
four
states
that
have
the
latest
entrance
age.
Nevada's
first
day
of
school
is
generally
between
august
10th
and
15th.
N
35,
I'm
sorry.
Let
me
add
that
nevada
is
currently
ranked
48
out
of
50th
educationally,
and
this
isn't
the
whole
reason
why
this
impacts
our
ranking.
But
this
is
a
portion
of
it.
I
then
took
some
school-wide
data.
We
have
been
open
for
three
years
and
this
following
graph.
You
see
here
depicts
data
that
was
collected
from
my
school
and
it
is
of
students
who
started
kindergarten
at
age
four
over
a
three-year
period.
N
N
In
addition,
the
state
of
nevada
requires
that
students
in
grades
k
through
3
take
the
reading
map
assessment
and
results
then
determine
if
a
student
qualifies
for
read
by
grade
3
or
bg3,
as
you
can
see
from
my
data
table
here,
11
of
my
29
4
year
olds,
qualified
for
read
by
grade
3.
11
of
those
qualified
for
rti
response
to
intervention
in
reading
and
11
also
qualified
for
rti
math.
N
N
Currently,
our
literacy,
specialist
or
read
by
grade
3
specialist,
supports
these
students,
but
the
position
is
slated
to
be
eliminated
by
the
state
for
the
2021-2022
school
year.
However,
we
are
still
expected
to
support
these
learners.
The
majority
of
the
four-year-olds
who
have
entered
my
school
over
the
last
three
years
have
also
displayed
significant
behavioral
problems.
N
They
have
qualified,
like
I
said
previously,
for
those
programs
such
as
rpg,
3
and
rti,
we
are
expected
to
admit
state
administer
the
statewide
assessments
like
I
said
another
one
is
also
the
brigance
assessment
and
it
provides
specialists
to
assist
and
we
have
to
provide
a
specialist
to
assist
students
who
qualify
for
these
programs,
all
the
while
the
state
most
likely
will.
I'm
sorry,
I'm
repeating
myself
reduce
the
funding
but
like
we
will
always
support
these
students
because
we
always
do
what's
best
for
them.
N
N
Okay,
that
is
just
a
source.
That's
supporting
the
performance
on
required,
statewide
assessments,
and
it
suggests
that
data
suggests
that
children
who
are
old,
older,
tend
to
perform
better
on
standardized
tests.
Taken
together.
This
body
of
research
suggests
that
changing
the
kindergarten
entry
age
would
be
generally
positive,
with
no
overall
negative
effect
on
children's
academic
achievement.
N
A
A
Thank
you
and-
and
I
so
appreciate
you
bringing
this
bill-
this
has
been
something
that
I've
been
passionate
about,
passionate
about
not
very
quietly
for
some
time.
I
happen
to
be
a
september
birthday
myself
and
was
the
oldest
in
my
class
and
and
because
of
that
you
know,
was
class
president
and
things
like
that,
and
I
look
at
the
the
girls
and
and
and
quite
frankly,
the
boys
in
the
class
ahead
of
me
and
just
know
that
I
would
not
have
excelled
in
this,
so
I
think
not
only
academically
but
socially.
A
B
Thank
you
chair,
and
I
too
am
very
appreciative
of
this
bill.
My
sister
was
two
days
ahead
of
the
deadline
and
she
will
tell
you
today
she
should
have
been
held
back
that
emotionally
and
socially.
She
did
not
fit
in
with
her
peers
and
there
were
issues
later
on
she's,
better
now
and
she's,
a
police
officer.
B
So,
but
that
did
lead
me
to
a
question
because
we
grew
up
in
indiana
and
that
deadline
used
to
be
october
1st-
and
it's
now
changed
to
august
or
excuse
me
september
1st,
so
she
would
have
been
held
back
if
she
was
in
kindergarten
today.
Are
we
seeing
this
trend
among
other
states,
to
move
that
date
back.
O
Senator
scott
hammer
for
the
record
to
3u
chair
to
selling
women
gorlo
yeah,
I
think
that
miss
lackey
did
a
great
job
of
showing
you
some
of
the
data
on
where
other
states
are,
and
actually
the
trend
has
been
to
be
moving
it
back
to
a
time
where
students
are
a
little
bit.
You
know
they're
ready,
they're
older,
you
know
a
lot
of
people
will
say
well,
there's
always
going
to
be
a
younger
or
an
older
student,
and
it's
not
necessarily
that
that
we're
trying
to
prevent
that.
O
We
can't
you
know
we
understand,
there's
going
to
be
someone
who's
going
to
be
older
and
somebody's
going
to
be
younger.
It's
about
when
is
the
right
time,
and
so
when
we
say
that
they're
more
ready,
we're
talking
about
socially
emotionally
ready
at
five,
it's
at
that
time
that
they
stay
with
their
family
or
others
who
you
know
they
have
a
chance
to
kind
of
get
them
ready
to
be
in
kindergarten.
O
It's
not
just
about
being
able
to
read
before
you
get
in
it's
about
that
that
separation
between
you
and
your
you
know
your
you
leave
your
family
and
you
go
into
a
classroom
with
other
peers,
and
then
you're
asked
to
do
certain
things
like
sit
still
or
be
able
to
interact
with
other
students.
That's
the
that's!
O
What
we're
really
aiming
at
is
to
make
sure
that
they're
all
ready
for
that,
and
that
really
the
the
study
that
I
saw
and
several
others
that
I
read
over
the
last
few
months
all
suggest
that
socially
emotionally
being
five
when
everybody
else
is
five
is
really
a
good
thing.
You
can
make
up
academically
if
you're
a
four-year-old,
you
tend
to
be
able
to
make
up
that
time
that
difference
between
four
the
age
of
four
and
eleven,
so
you
can
make
up
with
your
peers,
but
it's
the
social
emotional.
O
B
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
thank
you
senator
it's
good
to
see
you
over
here,
so
I
am
kind
of
on
the
opposite
end
of
the
two
stories
that
were
shared
I'm
a
september
baby
and
I
made
the
deadline
by
a
week.
B
But
for
me
I
was
reading
it
and
comprehending
at
a
7th
grade
level
in
kindergarten
and
was
determined
that
it
was
that
I
should
go
to
school
emotionally
and
all
of
that,
so
I'm
just
wondering.
Is
there
any
kind
of
exception
for
like
that,
and
not
just
that?
A
parent
comes
and
says:
oh,
my
students
ready
to
go
to
kindergarten.
Is
there
any
way?
You
know
that
you
could
test
for
that
or
or
something
like
that
for
those
kids
that
maybe
already
at
a
higher
level,
and
it
would
benefit
them
to
start.
O
Again,
this
is
senator
hammond
for
the
record
assemblywoman
hardy.
Thank
you
very
much
for
the
question
to
answer
your
question.
No,
there
is
nothing
that
we
have.
That
would
allow
a
student
to
get
into
kindergarten
earlier
in
this
bill
or,
quite
frankly,
right
now
as
it
exists,
you
either
make
that
cut
off
or
you
don't
and
the
reason
why
you
know
one
of
the
that
was
proposed.
O
Actually,
during
our
committee
hearing
in
the
senate,
somebody
asked
if
we
could
actually
have
a
mechanism
in
place
so
that
those
who
seem
to
be
prepared
could
get
in
and-
and
I
went
to
the
school
districts
to
you-
know
mold
us
over
to
find
find
out
what
we
could
do
and,
and
they
were
all
in
agreement-
it's
it's
too
difficult
to
do
something
like
that.
That's
why
they
had
a
hard
and
fast
cut
off
and
they've
always
had
that
hard
and
fast
cut
off
you
either
made
it
or
you
did.
O
O
However,
once
you
get
into
you
know
your
pastor
for
your
kindergarten
year,
you're
in
first
grade
second
grade
that
a
parent
can
always
advocate
for
their
child
to
move
up
a
grade
if
they
feel
like
they
need
to
move
up,
but
not
so
much
for
kindergarten.
I
hope
that
answers
your
question.
B
Yes,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
that
answer
and
so
then
my
second
question
would
just
be
just
to
make
sure
on
the
record.
It
says
here
on
page
three
section
line
29
where
it's
saying:
if
they
were
in
another
state
and
had
already
started
kindergarten,
they
would
be
enrolled
in
kindergarten
or
first
grade
here
if
they
were
already
enrolled.
O
Against
senator
scott
hammer
for
the
record,
that
is
correct.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
those
who
have
already
started
and
matriculated
into
kindergarten
could
continue
on
and
that
progress
and
I
think,
that's
pretty
much
the
way
it's
always
been.
So
we
would
just
accept
that
student,
as
as
we
have
in
the
past
right
into
kindergarten.
D
Thank
you,
madam
chair,
and
and
thank
you,
senator
hammond,
and
and
thank
you
to
our
principal
presenter.
I
I
do
appreciate
the
research
behind
this
proposal,
but
I
too
have
some
concerns.
My
daughter
is
an
august
13th,
you
know
child
and
she
would
have
fallen
into
this.
If
this
were
in
place,
when
she
started
kindergarten,
then
she
would
have
been
held
back
a
year
and
even
as
the
youngest
in
her
class,
she
was
still,
and
I
speak
as
one
tall
person
to
another.
D
She
was
still
a
foot
taller
than
everyone
in
her
class,
even
though
she
was
the
youngest.
If
she
had
held
back
a
year,
she
would
have
been.
You
know,
conceivably
a
foot
and
a
half
who
knows
maybe
even
two
feet
taller
and
that
would
have
created
another
set
of
social
issues
for
her.
So
I
too
would
have
questions
about
the
ability
to
have
some
sort
of
waiver
and
she'd
excelled
and
did
just
just
fine
even
being
the
youngest
in
the
class,
and
so
I
guess
my
question
would
be
maybe
more
for
legal.
D
O
I
know
you're
consulting
legal
again,
but
this
is
this
is
senator
hammer
for
the
record.
I
could
say
that
most
likely
legal
will
tell
you
no
there's,
no
legal
reason
why
you
can't
put
something
in
place.
It's
it's
more,
the
logistics
of
it.
That's
that's
kind
of
the
again
what
the
districts
would
would
probably
say
to
you
or
me.
If
we're
in
a
group
saying
it's
they've
tried
this
in
the
past
and
it's
very
difficult.
They
can't
figure
out
logistically
how
to
do
this
and
not
make
it
sort
of
messy
but
I'll.
B
D
Just
a
quick
follow-up
on
the
bill.
Thank
you,
madam
chair.
So
I
I
see
here
that
this
relates
to
nrs
392.040.
You
know,
obviously,
the
statute
relating
to
public
schools
so
and
charter
schools,
so
is
this.
Does
this
also
relate
to
private
schools
and
and
home
schools
as
well.
O
A
I
I'm
going
to
actually
step
in.
I
don't
think
it
would
hit
private
schools.
Is
that
correct
that
that
was
my
understanding,
because
that's
that,
how
that's
how
it
is
currently
I
I
actually
have
friends
who
who
did
not
hit
the
deadline
and
put
their
child
in
a
private
school
for
kindergarten
and
then
moved
them
over
to
a
public
school
at
first
grade.
So
I
would
imagine,
but
go
ahead.
Please.
B
Yes,
thank
you,
madam
chair
amanda,
meredith
committee
counsel.
That
is
correct.
It
doesn't
actually
apply
to
private
school
students
and
I
don't
believe
that
it
would
apply
to
homeschool
students
either.
O
O
What
we're
trying
to
hit
here
again,
even
with
all
the
studies
that
have
been
done
over
the
years,
there's
always
going
to
be
that
exception
right
that
bright
star
that
that
that
student,
who
would
have
excelled,
even
if
you
put
them
in
there
three
years
of
age,
and
so
we
really
can't
contemplate
the
outliers,
but
we
can
what
we
can
do
is
we
can
really
look
at
in
total.
If
we're
talking
about
policy
public
policy
that
will
will
have
a
net
a
net
positive
effect
on
our
society.
O
O
E
E
E
So
anyway,
I
may
be
an
exception
for
the
tall
kids
would
be
in
order,
but
and
also
as
politically
incorrect
as
this
is
to
say
it
used
to
be
better
late
than
early,
especially
if
it's
boys
and
I
had
four
boys
four
girls
and
I
kind
of
had
seen
that
senator
hansen
fell
into
that
realm
better
late
than
early
and
he
went
late.
E
E
The
next
year
talked
to
a
kindergarten
teacher,
her
kindergarten
teacher
at
the
end
of
the
year,
and
she
just
said
you
know
at
25
years
you
know
she's
she's
struggling
to
stay
up
with
to
speed
she's,
always
going
to
kept
her
out
the
next
year
put
her
back
in
the
next.
It
worked,
so
I
I've
had
human
experience.
E
This
is
more
of
a
testimonial
than
anything
else,
although
I'm
all
for
the
waiver
on
the
tall
jean
and
yes,
there
are
those
bright,
those
really
really
star
students,
and
but
we
have
to
draw
draw
the
the
line
somewhere
with
year-round
schools.
It's
been
a
while
for
me,
we
did
year-round
school
at
some
point
seemed
like
some
of
them
started
in
july.
Am
I
wrong?
O
Through
you,
madam
chair
to
assembly,
woman,
hanson
yeah,
I
mean
the
the
proposed
amendment
here
is
actually
really
good,
because
what
it
does
is
it
recognizes
the
fact
that
this
could
change
the
whole
impetus
for
this
particular
language,
or
this
bill
was
because
we,
over
the
last
few
years
last
five
or
six
years.
I
know
washoe
county
started
earlier
than
we
did
and
down
in
clark
county
by
starting
in
early
august
or
earlier
august
than
than
before,
but
it
you
know
it,
it's
come
to
our
attention
that
it
does
change
right.
O
People
will
sometimes
change.
We
finally
have
changed
in
clark
county
we're
starting
around
the
second
week
of
august,
which
means,
as
principal
lackey
said,
they
were
having
students
in
the
classroom
who
were
four
years
of
age
for
almost
a
quarter
and
which,
which
prompted
us
to
say
well,
maybe
there's
a
change
that
we
can
make,
and
so
we
can
watch
this
whole
cohort.
You
know
graduate
in
you
know
so
many
years
and
then
we'll
see
what
the
net
effect
is,
but
that's
why
we
did
it,
but
language
like
this
would
also
help.
O
A
P
P
Person
flores,
thank
you,
madam
chair
sitting.
Next
to
assemblywoman
torres
has
inspired
me
to
ask
some
questions.
You
know
I
don't
know
where
I'm
at
senator,
because
assemblywoman
hanson
and
assemblywoman
torres.
P
Unlike
them,
I
had
friends
that
were
both
tall
and
short,
so
I
am
really
conflicted
as
to
which
direction
I
wish
to
go,
but
senator
oh
sarcasm
and
fungicide.
P
P
We
then
decided
to
go
from
age
six
to
age,
five
and
then
now
we're
in
2021
and
we
stand
where
we
are,
and
I
guess
what
I'm
curious
to
understand
is
from
71
to
97.
We
obviously
decided
to
start
a
year
earlier.
We
moved
back
and
I'm
assuming
there
is
some
type
of
data
behind
it.
I
was
trying
to
run
through
the
minutes
and
I
apologize
I
couldn't
get
through
all
of
them
just
to
to
really
understand
the
rationale
there.
P
But
now
you
know
we
moved
20
years
down
the
road
and
and
now
we're
saying
and
we've
identified
all
these
issues
and
we
have
all
this
hosted
data.
So
I'm
just
I'm
trying
to
understand
you
know,
more
importantly,
not
just
for
the
record,
but
for
the
sake
of
understanding
the
emerging
discourse,
it
seems
that
after
20
years
of
better
said
40
years
of
messing
with
this
particular
start
date
and
age,
we've
landed
where
the
data
is
suggesting
that
we
need
to
perhaps
consider
ensuring
that
the
child
is
a
little
bit
more
mature.
P
But
I
was
just
curious
to
understand
if
you
had
an
opportunity
to
look
at
that
data
and
understanding.
Why
we've
done
that
shift
where
we
can,
we
thought
maybe
we
wanted
to
move
it
back.
We
went
from
december
to
september,
but
then
we
realized
at
that
point,
wait
a
minute.
Let's
go
from
six
to
five,
and,
and
maybe
this
is
a
middle,
perfect
middle
ground,
and
maybe
your
co-presenter
has
some
additional
data
points
that
could
help
highlight
the
legislative
process
and
where
we've
gone
through
the
history
of
this
particular
conversation.
O
Thank
you
again,
senator
scott
hammer
for
the
record
and
to
assembly
person,
flores,
yeah
I'll,
say
this
and
then
I
will
hand
it
over
to
miss
lackey
down
there,
because
I
think
it
would
be
valuable
to
hear
a
couple
of
her
thoughts
on
this.
I
know
she
does
a
lot
more
research
in
this
area
than
I
do
I'll.
Just
say
this
for
those
educators
on
your
committee-
and
I
know
there's
several.
O
What
we
know
about
how
to
educate
has
really
changed
a
lot
and
I
would
say,
over
even
the
last
10
years
it's
more
data
driven
than
anything
else.
Teachers
really
know
how
to
dive
into
the
data.
They
know
how
to
use
the
data
to
then
drive
their
their
I'm
gonna.
I've
been
so
long
since
I've
been
in
the
classroom
drive
their
their
instruction,
and
so
we
are
learning
a
lot.
More
people
are
doing
a
lot
more
research
to
look
at
and
figure
out.
O
How
do
students
respond
to
or
react
to
certain
pressures
or
certain
lessons
or
anything?
You
know
we
just
know
a
lot
more
than
we
did
before,
and
so
you
can
see
that
reflected
in
the
changes
that
have
occurred
over
the
years
and
really
when
we've
honed
in
on
the
fact
that
we
really
want
kindergarten
to
start
around
the
age
of
five
and
we
had
a
cutoff
date.
This
right
here
is
just
another.
O
I
think
further
evidence
that
we
know
more
than
we
just
do
before,
and
we'd
like
to
be
able
to
make
sure
everybody
has
a
good
chance
at
a
great
education
right.
We
want
to
make
sure
that
they
they
they
have
all
the
tools
necessary
to
be
successful
as
students,
as
was
mentioned
by
several
of
your
committee
members.
O
But
having
said
that,
I
I
don't
know
a
lot
more
than
that
and
looking
at
you
know
the
data
that
we
see
that
states
are
all
moving
to
to
inc
well
to
move
the
data
up
so
that
they
have
more
and
more
five-year-olds
in
class.
But
that's
all
I'll
say
about
that
I'll
I'll.
Let
the
expert
down
there
in
the
south
miss
lackey
respond
if
she,
oh,
that
that
is
not
very
comforting.
Look
that
you
just
gave
me
right
there,
I'm
just
reading
body
language
right
now,
it's
a
little
weird
but
I'll.
O
N
Thank
you,
senator
hammond
kate,
lackey
for
the
record.
I
appreciate
you
saying
I'm
the
professional,
that's
what
I
was
saying,
you're,
putting
me
on
a
high
pedestal,
but
I
completely
concur
with
senator
hammond.
Yes,
our
our
system
is
much
more
data
driven
these
days,
students
are
expected
to
take
more
assessments.
N
We
are
analyzing
data,
crunching
numbers
continuously
in
order
to
meet
the
students
needs,
and
I
don't
have
particular
research
on
which
you
are
speaking
of
assemblyman.
I
apologize.
I
do
know
that
the
date
has
fluctuated.
I
think
that,
based
on
the
data
that
I
provided
in
comparison
of
all
the
united
all
the
states
in
the
u.s
and
where
they
fall,
that
states
do
adjust
and
the
majority
of
them
fall
at
this
same
area.
N
The
majority
of
the
states
do
fall
at
september
1,
but
those
states
also
start
after
labor
day,
and
so
the
the
trend
is
2b5
before
entering
a
kindergarten.
If
you
will-
and
I
think
we're
just
trying
to
stay
aligned
to
that,
so
I
hope
I
answered
your
question.
P
Well,
thank
you
both
and,
and
I
know
I
also
put
you
on
the
spot,
just
by
referencing,
some
old
dates,
and
I
was
just
curious
to
know
if
there's
any
more
input
on
that.
Thank
you.
O
And
if
I
could
I'll
this
is
against
senator
hammer
for
the
record,
madam
chair
to
assembly
with
floors.
One
of
the
things
I
did
not
mention-
and
I
felt
like
it
might
come
up
in
questioning.
So
that's
why
I
kind
of
put
it
aside
for
a
little
bit.
The
the
education
commission
of
the
states
have
done
a
lot
of
research
on
this
too,
and
if
you
look
at
their
you
know,
you
look
at
their
website.
O
You
go
in
and
you
find
out
that
there
are
36
other
states
in
the
nation
that
have
cut
out
cut
off
dates
before
us,
assuming
that
that
school
starts
around
the
same
time
as
us.
That
would
put
us
in
a
good
spot,
but
really
the
additional
amendment
to
this
bill,
making
sure
that
they
start.
You
know
that
they're
five
before
they
start
school.
I
think
it's
even.
I
think
it's
going
to
take
a
lot
of
other
states
by
well.
I
better
make
sure
I
say
this
correct.
O
I
think
a
lot
of
states
will
take
notice
to
what
we're
doing
right
now,
because
we're
basically
fixing
it
to
the
start
of
school
instead
of
a
certain
date.
A
Q
Q
Researchers,
kathy
bedard
and
elizabeth
dewey
found
that
grade
schoolers,
who
are
among
the
oldest
in
their
class,
have
a
distinct
competitive
learning
edge
over
the
youngest
in
their
grades,
scoring
4
to
12
percent
higher
on
standard
math
and
science
tests.
This
book,
which
is
a
wonderful
book
it's
by
dorothy
and
raymond
moore.
It
re,
goes
over
some
six
thousand
studies,
which
indicate
that
children
who
go
to
school
at
a
later
age
do
better
in
almost
every
way
socially
emotionally
leadership.
Q
Q
Q
According
to
a
new
study
from
the
national
bureau
of
economic
research,
children
who
start
school
at
an
older
age
do
better
than
their
younger
classmates
and
have
better
odds
of
attending
college
and
graduating
from
an
elite
institution.
I
had
an
experience
with
my
own
son,
who
I
put
into
school.
He
was
he
was
older,
but
he
still
had
difficulty.
He
ran
away
from
school,
he
broke
out
in
hives,
I
had
to
put
him
back
in
to
kindergarten
and
and
so
he
had
a
photographic
memory,
he
did.
Q
A
R
Thank
you,
madam
chair
chris
daley,
nevada,
state
education,
association,
hanson
and
daley
from
the
support
position,
so
nsca
supports
sb
102
moving
the
minimum
age
for
kindergarten
from
five
on
september,
30th
to
5
on
now
august
7th
of
the
school
year.
R
This
is
an
item
that
has
received
a
good
bit
of
discussion
at
our
annual
delegate
assembly.
I
think,
with
several
new
business
items
brought
on
this
issue
by
many
of
our
kindergarten
teachers.
R
37
of
42
other
states,
my
account's
37,
senator,
might
be
36
have
set
minimum
ages
for
kindergarten
require
kindergartners
to
be
older
than
nevada's
requirement.
Seven
other
states
by
my
account
leave
that
decision
to
school
districts.
This
is
reflective
of
research
showing
a
positive
relationship
between
school
starting
age
and
children's
cognitive
development.
It
also
recognizes
additional
expectations
on
the
kindergarten
year,
including
the
development
of
fundamentals
for
learning,
to
read
and
write,
as
not
as
nevada
considers,
moving
up
the
required
age
for
kindergarten.

Q
L-Y-N-N-C-H-A-P-M-A-N,
I'm
state
vice
president
of
nevada,
eagle
forum.
We
support
sb
102.
We
want
our
children
to
be
successful
throughout
their
school
career,
so
let's
get
them
off
on
the
right
foot.
A
child
that
is
a
little
more
mature
is
more
apt
to
be
able
to
handle
all
types
of
situations
that
may
come
up
in
a
school
setting.
Q
Q
We
should
let
our
children
be
children
mature
a
bit
before
putting
them
into
the
school
setting
all
day.
If
parents
really
need
to
get
their
children
ready
for
a
school
setting,
especially
for
low-income
families,
there
is
always
head
start
and
many
churches
that
provide
low-cost
settings
for
young
children.
Q
I
would
like
to
also
say
we
also
support
the
amendment
that
was
presented.
Please
support
sb102.
Thank
you.
A
Thank
you

Thank
you,
miss
chapman,
any
other
calls
and
support
pps.
G
F
E-R-I-N-P-H-I-L-L-I-P-S
for
the
record,
the
president
of
power
to
parent,
I'm
calling
in
support
of
sd-102
we've
spoken
to
many
parents
who
feel
the
pressure
of
not
being
sure
and
I'm
one
of
them.
Frankly,
if
their
child
is
ready
for
school
and
then
having
to
make
a
decision
that
will
affect
your
child's
entire
educational
career
and
then
many
times
when
four-year-olds
are
put
into
kindergarten.
F
When
we're
talking
about
also
10
years
ago,
we
were
really
not
having
statewide
full-time
kindergarten.
Kindergarteners
came
in
on
a
half-day
basis
at
that
point
in
time,
and
so
so
we've
rolled
the
standard
as
well
of
what
we're
expecting
our
kindergartners
to
be
able
to
do,
and
at
the
same
time
I
also
agree
with
assemblywoman
tolls
and
and
and
scott
hammond
as
well,
that
we
really
need
to
be
able
to
allow
parents
to
choose.
F
So
if
a
parent
does
believe
that
their
child
is
ready,
you
know,
I
think
there
is
a
school
choice
option
in
there
that
should
exist
for
parents
as
far
as
a
waiver,
but
at
the
same
time
I
think
the
majority
of
our
kindergartens
really
need
to
be
five
years
old,
and
I
think
the
data
has
shown
that
so
our
position
is
that
delaying
kindergarten
is
what
is
best
for
kids
overall,
and
so
we
hope
that
you
will
also
support
this
bill.
Thank
you.

After
doing
some
research,
I
have
learned
that
six
percent
of
children
are
four
when
they
start
kindergarten
studies
show
that
when
children
wait
until
five
to
start
school,
their
brains
are
more
prepared
for
learning,
new
things
and
adapting
to
new
environments
as
four-year-olds.
Not
only
are
their
brains
not
ready
to
learn
new
and
harder
things,
but
socially
and
emotionally
they
are
not
ready.
They
really
lack
real-world
coping
skills
and
the
ability
to
verbalize
their
needs
because
of
their
age.
They
may
not
they.
H
They
may
not
be
developmentally
prepared
to
start
kindergarten.
As
someone
who
is
only
11
years
old
and
in
sixth
grade,
I
understand
the
struggle
of
being
younger
than
everybody
else.
Sometimes
I
feel
like
I'm
always
playing
catch
up.
For
example,
I
don't
understand
why
other
children
in
my
class
can
understand
certain
math
principles
better
than
I
can.
It
is
not
that
I
don't
think
I
am
smart,
but
sometimes
I
feel
discouraged
in
the
end.
H
In
conclusion,
moving
the
date
when
children
should
be
a
certain
years
of
age,
start
school
to
august,
7th,
instead
of
september,
30th
would
make
children
who
are
younger
and
most
than
most
kids
in
my
class,
wait
till
the
next
year
to
register
in
school,
so
that
they'll
have
time
to
develop
properly
so
that
when
they
start
school
the
next
year,
they
will
be
better
prepared
for
starting
school,
giving
a
child.
The
gift
of
time
is
one
of
the
greatest
gifts.
A
Thank
you
so
much
for
that
testimony
and
I
think
you
are
kind
of
the
perfect
example
of
what
we're
talking
about
someone
who's
so
bright
and
clearly
so
eloquent,
but
understands
the
advantage
that
you
would
have
had
by
being
old
in
your
class.
So
thank
you
for
that
testimony.
It
really
really
meant
a
lot
to
us
and
please
come
back
to
this
committee
as
as
soon
as
you
see
another
bill
that
that
moves
you
thank
you
for,
for
the
call
bps
do
we
have
any
other
callers.
A
Thank
you
and
I
will
close
the
testimony
and
support
and
move
on
to
opposition
of
sb-102.
Anyway,
I
don't
see
anyone
in
the
room
and
I
don't
see
anyone
on
the
zoom.
I
feel
like
I'm
a
dr
seuss
book.
Is
there
any
pps?
Do
we
have
any
callers
in
opposition
to
sb
102.

Hi,
my
name
is
selena
larue
hatch,
l,
a
space
r.
U
r-u-e-h-a-t-c-h,
I'm
calling
in
opposition
for
sb
102,
because
I
believe
it
is
an
equity
issue
and
moving
the
goal.
Posts
on
our
parents
who
have
been
planning
doesn't
actually
address
the
issue
that
we're
not
mandating
kids
to
start
school
until
seven.
I
think
a
child
starting
school
for
the
first
time
at
seven
years
old
is
at
a
much
greater
disadvantage
than
a
student
that
starts
kindergarten
at
four
years
old
and
is
four
for
a
month.
H
I
think
especially
for
families
in
poverty.
Our
kids
need
to
get
in
schools,
and
I
say
this
as
a
title:
one
teacher
they
need
to
get
in
schools
to
have
access
to
food
and
counseling
services
and
things
that
they
might
not
be
getting
in
their
home.
I
also
want
to
mention
that
families
are
planning
for
when
their
kids
are
going
to
kindergarten
and
families
that
are
planning
for
their
child.
To
start,
kindergarten
in
2022
will
now
have
to
pay
for
daycare
for
an
extra
year.
H
For
my
family,
that's
12
000
a
year,
and
I
don't
know
that
many
families
can
afford
a
surprise.
Twelve
thousand
dollar
bill,
moreover,
as
I
think
assemblyman
flores
pointed
out,
this
date
has
been
changed
over
and
over
and
over
again
and
we're
not
seeing
changes
in
achievement,
and
I
think
it's
disingenuous
in
the
materials
for
this
presentation
to
link
nevada's
last
in
the
nation
ranking
in
educational
attainment
to
start
date,
without
mentioning
that
we
are
last
in
our
school
funding,
which
is
a
much
larger
issue
and
first
in
class
sizes.
H
I
believe
those
issues
need
to
be
addressed
before
this.
I
also
agree
with
assemblywoman
tolls
that
there
are
children
who
are
ready.
My
daughter
is
also
the
tallest
in
her
class
and
also
was
absolutely
ready
when
she
was
born
on
september
7th,
she
was
able
to
start
kindergarten,
and
I
think
her
having
been
held
back
would
have
been
a
great
detriment
to
her,
and
so
I
urge,
for
all
of
those
reasons
for
the
this
committee
to
vote
against
sb
102.
Thank
you.
G
A
O
If
I
could,
madam
chair,
I
I
do
appreciate
the
time
that
you
all
put
into
hearing
your
testimony
and
those
who
came
up
to
testify
in
favor
and
those
who
testified
in
in
opposition.
I
understand
that
you
know.
We've
said
this
before
I
said
it
before.
There's
nothing,
that's
perfect!
You
know,
as
a
father
of
four
and
I've
got
the
tall
and
the
short
in
my
family,
you
know
it
it.
It
wasn't
necessarily
about
the
height
sometimes,
and
I
understand
that
it
can
be
socially.
O
O
I
think
of
the
young
lady
who
spoke,
I
didn't
catch
her
name,
but
you
know
I
think
she
she
was
powerful
because
she's
gone
through
it
and
remembers
it
because
she's
there
now.
That's
all
I
say,
and
I
appreciate
your
your
time
to
this.
Thank
you
I
I
should
say
one
other
thing.
I
have
been
approached
for
one
one.
Other
amendment
somebody's
asked
to
amend
their
name
into
the
bill,
and
so
I'm
more
than
happy
to
do
that
as
well.
A
Thank
you
very
much,
and
and
thank
you
for
bringing
this
bill
today
and
with
that
we
will
close
the
hearing
on
sb
102,
which
brings
us
to
our
last
agenda
item,
which
is
public
comment,
public
comment.
You
are
limited
to
two
minutes
and
it's
to
speak
on
a
general
items
that
are
in
the
purview
of
this
committee.
G
A
A
We
do
have
three
bills
and
it's
going
to
be
a
pretty
busy
couple
of
weeks
from
here.
We
have
just
over
two
weeks
until
the
we
have
to
get
these
bills
out
of
our
committee,
so
we
will
be
meeting
every
tuesday
and
thursday
from
now
until
that
deadline
and
probably
be
hearing
a
minimum
of
three
bills
each
day
so
but
they're,
good
bills
and
so
it'll
be
fun
more
dr
seuss
to
come,
and
so
with
that
I
will
see
you
all
on
thursday
at
1
30,
and
this
meeting
is
adjourned.
