President Edington presented the President's Report.

• Last month, we participated in AIMS Unity Against Hate March. This was mainly focused against the recent violence against people of Asian descent in our local community and throughout the country. Our organization has made a public statement, participated in this event and other activities within the local community colloquially referred to as Chinatown. This is simple, we do not promote violence.

• Proposition 98 allocated $93.7 Billion dollars to California Schools.
  • Proposition 98 is a voter-approved constitutional amendment that guarantees minimum funding levels for K-12 schools and community colleges (collectively referred to as K-14 schools).
• Federal Government allocated $15 billion to K-12 schools in early 2021.
• AIMS will receive an increase of funding the 2021 - 2022 fiscal year.
• California For All Kids Plan
  • A five year investment strategy that addresses equity gaps by:
    • Offering year round access to enrichment and extended-day supplemental education programs in low-income communities.
    • Improving teacher preparation and training
    • Increasing staff, including counselors, social workers and nurses.
    • Increasing access to school-based nutrition.
  • The plan also proposes beginning universal access to transitional Kindergarten starting in 2022 - 23 and fully implemented by 2024-25.
• Proposition 98 Supplemental Plan
  • The 2020 Budget Act created a multi-year obligation to increase Proposition 98 funding by $12.4 billion, after estimates showed the Proposition 98 funding levels in 2019 - 20 and 2020 - 21 would drop below the target funding level (Test 2), by this amount.
• Proposition 98 Rainy Day Fund
  • The Governor's Budget projected a total $3 billion in payments to the Public School System Stabilization Account between 2020 - 21 and 2021 - 22.
• Local Control Funding Formula - LCFF
  • The Governor's Budget included a compounded LCFF cost of living adjustment of 3.84 percent, representing a 2020 - 21 cost of living adjustment of 2.31 percent and a 2021 - 22 cost of living adjustment of 1.5 percent.
• Deferrals
  • Recession-driven revenue reductions anticipated at the 2020 Budget Act drove the need to defer LCFF apportionments, in the amounts of $1.9 billion in 2019 - 20, growing to more than $11 billion in 2020 - 21.  The Governor's Budget proposed paying off the full K-12 deferral in 2019 - 20 and $7.3 billion of the K-12 deferral in 2020 - 21, leaving an ongoing K-12 deferral balance of $3.7 billion in 2021 - 22.
• School Reopening
  • The May Revision assumes a return to full-time in-person instruction for the 2021 - 22 school year.  Consistent with all school years prior to 2020 - 21, this mode of instruction will be the default for all students and schools, and generally one of only two ways in which local educational agencies can earn state apportionment funding in 2021 - 22.
  • August 2021 California requires all school to be reopened.
  • Students will be required to be back in the classroom on a full time schedule.
• Independent Study Option
  • Notwithstanding these measures, some parents may still be hesitant to send their children back to school for in-person instruction.  To give families a high-quality option for non-classroom based instruction, and to provide local educational agencies with an option to generate state funding by serving students outside the classroom in response to parent requests, the May Revision proposes a series of improvements to the state's existing independent study programs.
• Expanded Learning Time
  • The May Revision reflects a five-year plan to implement expanded-day, full-year instruction and enrichment for all elementary school students in local educational agencies with the highest concentrations of low-income student, English language learners, and youth in foster care (representing approximately 2.1 million children).
• Universal Transitional Kindergarten
  • The May Revision proposes a series of investments beginning in 2022 - 23 to incrementally establish universal transitional kindergarten, creating a "14th grade" of public education by 2024-25.
• Comprehensive Student Supports
  • To increase the number of adults providing direct services to students on school campuses, the May Revision includes an ongoing increase to the LCFF concentration grant of $1.1 billion Proposition 98 General Fund.
• Workforce Preparation
  • An Additional $450 million one-time Proposition 98 General Fund over five years (for a total of $550 million) to support approximately 22,000 teacher candidates in teacher residencies and other grow-your-own teacher credentialing programs.
• Retention and Training
  • An additional $1.3 billion one-time Proposition 98 General Fund over three years (for a total of $1.5 billion) for the Educator Effectiveness Block Grant, to provide local educational agencies with training resources for classified, certificated, and administrative school staff in specified high-need topics, including accelerated learning, re-engaging students, restorative practices, and implicit bias training.
• Nutrition
  • The May Revision includes $150 million ongoing Proposition 98 General Fund to encourage local educational agencies to participate in one of the federal universal meal provisions.
• Special Education
  • The May Revision includes several funding sources for special education.
