Both offices were Co-sponsors of SB -224 Pupil instruction: mental health
education.(2021-2022) This bill would require each school district, county office of
education, state special school, and charter school that offers one or more
courses in health education to pupils in middle school or high school to include in
those courses instruction in mental health that meets the requirements of the
bill, as specified. The bill would require that instruction to include, among other
things, reasonably designed instruction on the overarching themes and core
principles of mental health. The bill would require that instruction and related
materials to, among other things, be appropriate for use with pupils of all races,
4
genders, sexual orientations, and ethnic and cultural backgrounds, pupils with
disabilities, and English learners. The bill would require the State Department of
Education to develop a plan to expand mental health instruction in California
public schools on or before January 1, 2024..

holds a meeting during a declared state of emergency, as that term is defined,
when state or local health officials have imposed or recommended measures to
promote social distancing, during a proclaimed state of emergency held for the
purpose of determining, by majority vote, whether meeting in person would
present imminent risks to the health or safety of attendees, and during a
proclaimed state of emergency when the legislative body has determined that
meeting in person would present imminent risks to the health or safety of
attendees, as provided.

5. "The relationship between school resource officers and school staff
is significant," said Irvine Unified spokeswoman Annie Brown "They
are seen as a resource and partner rather than a disciplinarian or
traditional law enforcement officers who provide criminal
consequences. They are a part of the fabric of the school community
and participate in restorative justice to ensure reconciliation and
correcting inappropriate or illegal behavior."
6. Mission of SROs
School resource officers perform three main roles — law enforcer,
mentor/counselor, and educator, according to the National Police
Foundation.
"These individuals are highly trained and usually go through basic,
intermediate and advanced school resource officer classes," said
Wayne Sakamoto, executive director of the California School Resource
Officers Association in Temecula.
Despite outcries, armed officers maintain presence at Southern California

7. AB -1419 Local educational agencies: meetings: online public
participation.(2021-2022)
This bill would require, in addition to the requirements of the Ralph M. Brown Act,
the governing board of a school district, a county board of education, and the
governing body of a charter school to make any public meeting of the board or
body accessible electronically online to all members of the public seeking to
attend and ensure the opportunity for the members of the public participating
electronically to comment on agenda items in the same manner as a person
attending a meeting in person. By imposing additional duties on local educational
agencies, the bill would impose a state -mandated local program.

OUTLINE MANY REASON.
AB 361 (Robert Rivas)
file:///C:/Users/SHAWN/Down loads/202120220AB361 Senate%20Judiciary.pdf
This Committee considered the bill's Brown Act provisions at its July 13, 2021,
hearing.
The analysis for that version of the bill is incorporated herein by reference.
In brief, the Brown Act portion of the bill will allow local legislative bodies
subject to
the Brown Act to implement, on their own, the teleconferencing provisions of the
Governor's executive orders during a declared state of emergency, subject to
the bill's
conditions. Specifically, the bill allows local legislative bodies to implement the
teleconference measures during a declared state emergency and when (1) state
or local
officials have imposed or recommended measures to promote social distancing;
(2) the
legislative body is meeting to determine whether an in-person meeting would
present
imminent health or safety risks as a result of the declared emergency; or (3) the
legislative body has already determined that such health or safety risks exist as
a result
of the declared emergency. When the stated conditions are met, a local
legislative body
may hold meetings entirely via teleconference without providing a public
location for
the meeting, having a quorum of members present in the jurisdiction, or posting
the
locations of all participating members, subject to requirements for providing
notice of
the meeting and the means for accessing the teleconference lines, and for
providing
Page 15 of 21
State bodies wishing to hold teleconferenced meetings under these conditions
may do
so only if they comply with the following requirements, in addition to the
remainder of
the Bagley -Keene Act:
Providing an electronic means for members of the public to observe and
address
the meeting, consistent with the notice and accessibility requirements listed
3
below.
Implementing a procedure for receiving and swiftly resolving requests for
reasonable modification or accommodation from individuals with disabilities,
consistent with the ADA and resolving any doubt whatsoever in favor of
accessibility; this procedure must be advertised each time notice is given of the
means by which members of the public may observe the meeting and offer
public comment.
Giving advance notice of the time of, and posting the agenda for, each public
meeting as required under the Bagley -Keene Act.
Providing, at each instance notice of the meeting is provided or the agenda is
posted, the means by which members of the public may observe the meeting
and
offer public comment.
In any instance where there is a change in the means of public observation or
comment, or when the meeting was initially noticed prior to the implementation
date of the bill, a state body may satisfy the requirement to provide the means of
public access by advertising it using the most rapid means of communication
available at the time, which may include posting the information on the state
body's website.
The bill also extends the above permissions and requirements to elected student
bodies
within the California State University (CSU) system subject to the public meeting
requirements of the Gloria Romero Act.9 The Gloria Romero Act is modeled after
the
Bagley -Keene Act and contains the same requirements and limitations on
teleconferenced meetings.10 The Governor's COVID-19 executive orders
authorizing
modified teleconferencing procedures under the Bagley -Keene Act and the
Brown Act
did not, however, extend that authorization to student bodies covered by the
Gloria
Romero Act. This bill will, therefore, allow for the first time CSU student
legislative
bodies to hold fully remote teleconferenced meetings.

Request support to address above documentation to address a lack of
awareness professionally ,parents, students education in order to truly identify
the root cause illness from technology vs a broad term mental illness as we have
clear evidence what segment of the children's population have miss understood
from a lack of awareness with those who hold back for political ideology.
A quote from former U.S. "President John F. Kennedy said technology `has no
conscience of its own. Whether it will become a force for good or ill depends on
man.' Yet swayed by digital -age myths, we are providing our children with
remarkably little guidance on their use of technology."
It was Albert Einstein who famously said that once you stop learning, you start
dying. It was Bill Gates who said that he would want the ability to read faster
Happy Veterans Day! Thank you to all who have served our country.
"As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation
is not to utter words, but to live by them."
- President John F. Kennedy
