cherokee dhani chair taniguchi vice chair mercado kim vice chair ihara and members of the committee the department supports senate bill 3092 and appreciates the legislature's support with our efforts to provide work-based learning experiences for our students student internship is an integral part of our workforce development initiative providing our students with the hands-on and real-world experiences that are critical to post-secondary and work for success the revenue generated from commercial enterprises will allow schools to sustain and grow their programs and to continue to provide students with work-based opportunities thank you for your continued support thank you superintendent members are there questions of the superintendent what i do have a question to the superintendent yes senator do you have a s do you have a number an estimate of how many interns there are with businesses in the last year uh curly's thank you for the question senator curley um i don't have that number but i can definitely get that to you um i understand there's a climb high um program that you folks have is that accurate and how far i want to just get a because i believe that part of that is is in turn in having a doe a student's intern with businesses yes um climb high bridge uh is a um is an organization organization that the department does partner with and um climb high bridge actually is is a um a process where it connects industry uh work-based learning opportunities for students from uh it could include guest speakers in the classroom all the way to internships and the different experiences uh between those two uh and climb high bridge acts as a connector for schools to um connect with industry partners sorry you're not on the gym huh so um uh there are many schools that are currently connected with climb high bridge i'm not sure though uh senator hara how many of our um students in participating in with climb high are um actively in internship programs uh but i do know that it does they do support schools with a range from guest speakers and work based learning all the way to internships but i definitely can find out from them um how many active internships that we have uh in the department and get that information to you because they'd be covered by this bill i think yes thank you thank you thank you members further questions if not thank you superintendent thank you second bill on the agenda is senate bill 2711 relating to education specifies additional exceptions under child labor laws to include work-based learning programs with employers to testify interim superintendent hiyashi please good afternoon chair kidani vice chairman of kim chair tony gucci and vice chair zara and members of the committee i am tera ushijima interim assistant superintendent with the department of education testifying on behalf of interim superintendent ayashi the department supports the intent of sb 2711 but defers to the department of labor and industrial relations in regards to the legal implications this measure could have on current labor laws thank you for this opportunity to provide testimony on sb2711 thank you next to testify director from dlir ankura estakio vice chair mercado kim and vice chair ihara as well as the members of the folk committees the department stands on its written testimony in opposition to this measure as it removes the statutory protections for child laborers i just want to point out that the current statute does not prohibit the expanded exemptions sought in this proposal but does require work permits and limitations of age hours and total time for these underage individuals and i'm here for any questions thank you thank you director next to testify david miyashiro testifying as executive director for hawaii kids can david aloha chairs vice chairs and committee members hawaii kids can support sb 2711 hawaii has a strong interest in students having career readiness and employability skills sp 2711 does not take hawaii out of the mainstream of state efforts or out of compliance for example delaware has exceptions for programs like work study student learner or apprenticeships where employment is procured and supervised by schools or by a federal or state monitored apprenticeship program similarly the federal government does not require work permits or proof-of-age certificates for a minor to be employed under sb 27-11 the relevant work-based learning experiences are official school and dewey programs which provide ample oversight and protections and cte programs of study already include coursework and multiple iterations of safety training the humble request for the build and move forward with amendments thank you very much thank you david next to testify trevor or missoula for the chamber of commerce hawaii trevor please thank you chair vice chair members of the committee trevor zero chamber of commerce hawaii we stand in support of sb 2711 after hearing from a lot of our business community that are wanting to participate in work-based learning and internship programs there's just a lot of red tape in the way currently and this bill would help fix that and i echo a lot of david's testimony and we stand in support thank you thank you trevor members that concludes the oral testimony are there any questions for our testifiers any questions um director estacio yes chair can you go over your testimony one more time and um be clear on the reasons you oppose this yes so in the current statutes the current statutes do not prohibit what they want the outcomes to be where these individuals who are minors can perform services with the exceptions that they're proposing what it does still require though is the employers to get work permits so a registration and a permit and individuals who are under the age of 16 so 15 and 14 there will still be limitations on the hours that they work so there would still be some oversight for these miners but they could continue they could perform the services that this exception wants them to perform as the statues are currently and how long does it take to get uh the permit required i can have um our wage standards division answer that question yes so they're saying that you can get that um permit the same day that you come in for it online or you can do it online chair thank you for that members for the questions thank you senator chair of tonight please yeah thank you um just a quick question for ann um i guess in reviewing the bill i guess my staff felt that um the language is currently drafted exempts all these uh vocational apprenticeship programs from all child labor laws and so i think what we wanted to do was kind of make amendments so that we can place the vocational apprenticeships within the child labor laws and still have basically the bill that we have now is that your understanding that's correct chair it would accept all child labor laws for all minors that perform under that program right our concern is that we the the statute allows them to perform this service now so if we made that amendment i think would you be willing to withdraw your opposition i guess could you explain the amendment to me again sorry chair um would um amend the definition of youth vocational training program or internship in hrs 390-1 and also meant to insert news a new subsection to hrs 390-2 for youth vocational training programs or internships apprentices validated under federal state law and minors who complete a vocational or career education program approved by the doe so you would remove the requirement for registration and permits and to oversee the hours of miners under 16.

right so as i told you um the other day and it's a very uh thank you and talk to my students these students are they're seniors in the mall program so for the past three years they've been learning about criminal justice and the different safety occupations things like that some of them are having interest in going into law enforcement not so much uh corrections so i'm not really happy you're here but that's such an important part of the criminal justice system uh we do have the benefit of the jail right next door to us that we have done field trips uh in the past but uh because of the pandemic we haven't been able to do that and i don't think you guys could you could probably scoot out bigger so that was just going to hurt us a little bit but nonetheless you know they don't they did learn about corrections yourself four years all different aspects of corrections um but we previously would do field trips so to the jail we may be able to speak with corrections officers to learn about the job so i think that's been part of your presentation right and all right so let's turn it up to you guys thanks for coming and uh we do have the presentation everybody can see everything right okay so i thought my name was austin mccombs i'm the department of corrections state department of corrections i've been with the department for a little over nine years and this is my partner officer amato when you guys would go is it the county jail that you guys visit so it's different from the state facility does anyone know anyone that works in the state jails or even in the county jails any family anybody been to jail how was your experience horrible [Music] we're here to tell you about the custody side of the institution it's much better we get to go home every day you know we get paid to be in jail not like the inmates like my partner said we're with the state department you can also get a job with the county right now the civil service exam is open if you guys weren't aware almost every law enforcement agency in the state's hiring right now but we are the largest now what is the space side um this is bayside southern state south woods this is we're covering the whole state we have 11 institutions it all depends on residency but because you guys live down here you'd end up at any one of those three institutions so the civil service test is up right now so is anyone 18 oh fantastic so what you need to do is go on the civil service website and sign up to take the civil service exam if you're interested in any law enforcement you know any law enforcement period unfortunately what's going on right now where in the past you paid one application fee and you can check off every box of law enforcement that you want to do right now what the state is doing you have you're getting charged for every law enforcement agencies that you want to sign up for so if you want to be wild police kpa please you have to sign up and pay for each application so the best thing i can tell you to do right now is to sign up for the department of corrections because we're the largest hiring we would hire you before any you know local municipalities where they're hiring five or ten people we're hiring 500 to 1 000 people go ahead sign up pay for the application for the state of corrections and pay you know for like one or two other municipalities that you want to you know get in you know want to get into like i said we're the largest hiring we're gonna call you first and um and also our job application for the state department corrections that due date for that is february 28th of this year to sign up for a job application we don't have an exam day currently but we do anticipate that being within the next couple of months or so has anyone gone on the civil service website and attempted to sign up for the law enforcement exam you got to get on that like i said if you're looking into getting it because that that this test score will last for about three years so even if you don't you know you might take the test this year you know you're not going to get hired for another year or whatever but just know that that score will last for about three years so go ahead and take it now because even if you're not interested or if you take it now and in a year you're not interested then that's fine at least you know you took that test and you have that score you have the ability to go into an agency if they contact you this is our mission for the new jersey department of corrections to protect the public by operating safe secure and humane correctional facilities the mission is realized through effective supervision proper classification appropriate treatment of offenders and by providing services that promote successful re-entry into society the main statement i like to focus on there is services that promote successful re-entry into society a lot of people think these images come into the institutions and they're just there serving a sentence a lot of them earn high school college degrees they can earn work certificates the southern state facility they offer masonry electric hvac we're trying to give these inmates opportunities so that when they get out and they're not incarcerated any longer they're productive members of society you know there are some that are you know doing life sentences that's on them but the other ones we want them to come out and be able to give back to society everybody knew what the expectations were come there in shape ready to go and you must surpass those guidelines because um this is a competitive environment and doing the bare minimum isn't going to get you through all these videos that we have coming up everyone is talking on here they were going through the academy so they're giving you that firsthand knowledge like my partner and i we have been in the academy in a couple years so these video clips with these um now officers that are talking really pay attention to everything they have to say so these are qualifications for the department of corrections you must be 18 years of age or older possessive new jersey driver's license uh you must have the united states citizenship and residency in the state of new jersey with the department of corrections the only thing that we require is a high school diploma or ged equivalent i know most other municipalities a lot of different departments require you to have associates degrees and bachelor's degrees that's one thing about our department we do not require for uniform capacity meaning officer sergeant lieutenant and major we do not require any sort of degree we go by our civil service examinations so each rank including officer you will undergo a civil service examination for officer you will undergo general questions it won't be specific some of them will be specific to the job but not like a promotion to a sergeant or a tenant or a major then they're going to really be asking you details about the job so it'll be a series of general uh multiple choice questions that you'll have to answer for the civil service commission um we also you also undergo medical uh psychological and drug screening uh while you're at a recruitment unit before you go through the process and you'll go on your underwear pre-academy assessment we'll talk about that a little bit later i already spoke about this a little bit this like i said the civil service commission a completely separate entity from uh from our department you know they're the ones that run the test i wish we could run our own tests i wish we could sign everybody up today if you want to come and join our department we can give you a test and you can come work for us right away but that's not it's not how it works you're going to go on the civil service website right now they have the examination announcement so you're going to sign up yes sir where did that when was that announced the the examiner went up for uh at least three weeks now okay because i looked and i hadn't seen it and uh i would i thought it wasn't going to be released until later on this year next year but it's uh it's out now yeah just a little bit okay and you have to apply by uh february 28th this year so once you have what's up don't turn um before february we're not like we can't we have to wait until next year yes yes the next time test comes out your birthday is february 28th you're good as long as you're 18 before the close of that date which is the 28th you're fantastic if you were born in march unfortunately you know you're gonna have to wait till the next time the test comes around which is about every two and three years so once you sign up for that test they will send out uh send out a little card tells you when your test date is and where it's going to be usually it's at like a high school like each county has it at a big high school so you're taking a test you know with a whole bunch of other people they offer study courses they put stuff out on the civil service we can't endurance endorse any one thing because then we seem biased to something but the civil service does offer you know different you know uh course studies you can take um then once you take that test again it comes in it will come in the mail your test score and then you kind of just wait until whatever department you know uh that you signed up for contacts you like myself when i took the exam i checked off every every law enforcement box i could up to you know park police i got like i said department of corrections you know called me first largest hiring entity in the state i was probably on the job for about two years when i got a uh what was it called a certification from cape may county asking if i wanted to come work in their jail because you know you stay on the list but i already had the job in the department i wasn't going to leave i was happy right where was that so it could be a situation like that like i said the civil service i wish i wish we could just take everyone like the military does you know we take it as vap and we can do whatever we want but unfortunately we're held to you know police training commission standards and that's what they you know that's what they run [Music] orientation i believe was in new lisbon and um a lot of people found out that it wasn't for them at orientation we put that in there you know we're gonna we don't try to scare anybody we understand this job isn't for everybody and it's not and you're not gonna hurt our feelings if you don't wanna come work inside of jail every day but we try to give you a little bit of how it's going to be like especially the academy a lot of people aren't used to people yelling at them it's paramilitary so if you've ever watched videos about the marines or the army you see how their boot camps are it's kind of along those lines so we give you a little bit we try to give you a little bit of an orientation just so you know because we don't you know honestly we don't want to waste your time we don't want you to go through especially if you could be with another municipality we don't want you to come and um after two three weeks four weeks decided it's not pretty ill so we try to give you a little bit of taste of that so you kind of know what you're getting into so that's our certification process so you'll all have the law enforcement application which will fill out background check so i'm going to elaborate on our background checks okay how many of you in here have social media accounts everybody right so you have tick tock facebook everything so i try to tell you all that at a younger age right before you're about to get into the workforce to be very mindful of the things that you post online because a lot of people post different things even if you might like something and a lot of you i'm sure are trying to get how many of you trying to get into the law enforcement field okay so no matter where you apply you're going to do a background check it's not going to matter if it's a municipality if it's a state police department corrections and they are going to go they will check certain things that you might post online and something that you might put might that you might like that you might think is funny but could be offensive to other people so i tell people at a very young age to be very very mindful of what you're putting on your social media accounts okay because they can dig back as far as 10 15 years plus you know they can go all the way back they have high capabilities so just be mindful of what you're posting on the line um like i said you'll be undergoing medical psychological and drug screenings um at least when you come that's where we work down at recruitment in lisbon you'll undergo uh your drug screenings and all that and then you'll and you'll receive an invitation to participate in the csta training academy which is our academy which is 12 weeks and it's going to be in seagra new jersey i don't know if any of you are familiar with super new jersey but it's in a beach town and what county is that that's ocean county by point pleasant okay third round there so it's like i said it's 12 weeks in residency training so by that you are there monday through friday your house there monday through friday which means you get there monday at 6 a.m and you don't go home till friday at 6 00 p.m okay and then you you go home on the weekends pretty much got enough time to wash your clothes and get prepared sunday to drive back monday and be there by 6 a.m so that's what i mean by in residency training and then you'll also have two weeks of on-the-job training once you get to the institutions we don't just throw you out there once you get to the institution so don't think that once you get to these these prisons that you're just going to be left by yourself you will have training officers there that will guide you um for your for your two weeks and beyond that um you have to get your only thing you'll have to pay for is your training uniforms when you go through the academy roughly between 800 to 900 you have to pay for that all food and board and all that is paid for and you are also paid while you're in the training academy i believe it's based off of a 34 000 salary just while you're in the academy you do get you do get paid um so that's good because before some they were making two or three hundred dollars while they're in academy now you're making a decent living while you're actually at the academy until you finish um and then you'll undergo [Music] all orientation the basic training course that my partner was saying it's a residential academy you're going to go over college-level type courses um law enforcement curriculum we discuss administrative codes 2c and 10a which are the laws that govern new jersey and also what governs our department you're gonna get firearms training defensive tactics uh we do drilling ceremony every day we also do physical training every day we'll elaborate a little more on the physical training because it's uh it's it's intense you know we're our our academy is ranked up there one of the highest in the country and we have some of the best instructors you know their job is to exercise and stay in shape because they're there to make you guys you know future correctional officers is the best shape you could be in i'm hard to say you have the on-the-job training once you get inside the institution for the first two weeks you're there you're like shadowing senior officers that are there they're showing you around the institutions i never expected in a police academy for it to be like college i think i i was in class and did more work here than i than i did in college honestly we were in class from six to eight hours a day um from eight o'clock in the morning to three uh just before three o'clock in the afternoon and it was very intense very long modules um a lot of different diverse topics normally what they call what they would say in jail but i thought oh you're just babysitting adults all day but it's actually a lot more to it so being in the academics part of it i learned a lot actually um and some of the things that we learned was very interesting so i got to learn some new things i didn't know about i got to understand more about being a correctional police officer and why they do things they do and why they go by certain books and knowing that there are so many laws and rules that they still have to go through while protecting and certainly not only the public but also making sure that these inmates come out their facilities ready to be safe and in public again one thing that i didn't realize is how long the classes here were and i haven't to be honest i skipped a lot of classes in college but so i wasn't used to sitting down for seven eight hours straight most people think they come down here and it's just going to be you know maybe a little bit of physical fitness here uh learning about the institution things like that but no there's a lot of academics that goes into it there's a lot of different things that you learn about new jersey law there's a lot of different things that you learn about the institution um title 10a that governs the ng dlc so there's a lot of different academics and there's a lot of studying because these tests um if you fail twice well if you fail you know you can be out so there's a lot of studying there's a lot of preparation there's a lot of bouncing information back and forth across your follow trainings to make sure that everyone is prepared for that that test or that exam at the end of that week you you would think you come in here it's a physical thing like just get in shape to go to work but in reality there's so much knowledge you have to have to work in these prisons you don't realize what correctional authors actually do every day now you're the one training exclaimed that he's getting a lot of classes in college there's no skipping classes at the academy you're going to be there and you're going to be awake the entire time i can speak i can tell you my one story um i my eyes weren't even shut yet it just looked like i was about to fall asleep and i had to start doing push-ups so you're gonna get strong and you're gonna get smart at our academy for sure so our academics as we spoke on our csta uh stands for correctional with the cstx uh curriculum sorry the academic portion of the academy training will include a college level course of studies such as psychological and sociological issues language and communication skills i want to touch on the language and communication skills briefly because you have to learn how to a lot of times the situations happen in the institutions whether it be assaults or or so what so forth you have to realize how to communicate with people just like out in the real world you treat people with respect you know so a lot of inmates are in there they're just in there during their time i'm not saying that inmates are nice i'm not saying all inmates are bad a lot of them are in there for for a certain reason a lot of them can be manipulators so basically what i'm getting at with that is work your communication skills you just treat people in general just how you want to be treated and a lot of times you'll be okay it's not going to be an issue i don't want people thinking that the jail is this big scary place but once you get into these institutions you will have your two weeks on the job training as well as the training that you had in 12 weeks while you're in the academy pay attention to that pay attention to the veteran officers that have been in the business for 25 plus years because they've been through different experiences as me and my partner you'll learn criminal law and you'll learn constitutional issues correctional and police practice procedures and comprehensive examinations and written assignments as we said it's not only physically demanding it's also academically demanding it's academically demanding for a reason because title 10a obviously governs the rules and regulations of the department of corrections title 2c governs the state of new jersey and a lot of times these inmates know their rights so you can't go into these institutions not knowing policy and procedures so we want you all to go into these institutions as prepared as possible so that's why we teach you about the laws of the department the policy of the department and the laws of the state of new jersey the basic uh course for state correctional police officers can offer up to 24 college credits i also like to say this as well our sergeant right now is going for her doctoral degree okay and the department is paying 50 percent of it okay so i also i encourage even though any uniform capacity it is not required to have a degree you have to take the civil service examination i also encourage people even through our department you get credit you get up to 50 of your college tuition paid depending on your gpa so that's also very important and it's other apartment departments in our department like internal affairs and administration that do require degrees so if you ever want to move up out of the uniform capacity there will be some positions that do require degrees you know so i am i definitely encourage you getting your degree as well and the department will absolutely help you get that dependent on your gpa there are different groups within the pt groups that are tailored to every person so even if um you're the most fit person in the academy the instructors are gonna be a lot more fit than you and they're gonna push you to be the best person you are and to be in the best shape that you could be right now no stretching let's go outside you can do this no problem everything not even not this right now this is our absolutely bare minimum this is just remained in our academy but then the first two weeks you get there this is the physical assessment that you're going to take now out of all this if you fail any one portion you get nine pt sessions to work on it and then you retake that portion again not the whole thing so if you just fail the sit-ups you get nine pt sessions to work on it then you just do those sit-ups again bare minimum on any given day in our academy you're going to be doing a million push-ups a thousand jumping jacks burpees rpt right now is kind of like crossfit based so we do stuff with ropes we do box jumps it's all body weight though so if you think you're going to go to the gym before you you know get into the academy start lifting a lot of weights and doing all that no do you know do the burpees do jumping jacks do push-ups do sit-ups because lifting weights is not and you do that once you get out absolutely because you're going to be inspired when you see all these inmates working out every day it's going to inspire you to keep yourself in shape as well that one and a half mile run i wish believe me i do not like running i never liked running i was a marine for seven years didn't like it then either but they get you in shape they make you run and the running becomes fun like my partner said it's a beach town so do you think we're gonna go out and run on the beach absolutely are we gonna run by that hard sand by the water we're gonna run up on the dunes where it's nice and soft now we're gonna do some jumping jacks and we're gonna do some push-ups in the dudes and then we're gonna run some more in that soft sand and then we're gonna come out of the sand and run on the gravel we're gonna run at the grass we're gonna run the pavement where's the enemy academy you're gonna run up to eight miles at about a ten minute mile pace so that's something you can kind of gauge yourself off of like the gentleman said in the video there's there's different groups you start off and depending on how big the academy is my academy class started off with three pt groups and it's just about how it's just about the running because like i said the first assessment to keep track of who's running and how fast and then they split you up into those groups your goal is if you start off in group number three which is the slow runners by the end of the academy you want to build yourself up to be running with that you know the a group you know that's running real fast i guess the instructors down there they're in shape and they want you to be in shape they want you to be better they want you to be your best they're there to push you and they will push you any questions about our physical training it's tough don't get me wrong it's tough but it'll get you there these instructors will get you there my first initial pt test when i failed and then when i came back the second week two weeks in they would retest and if you don't actually go home so in my head i was like this is not for me for my family so i have to pass i'm i'm in much better shape actually i started running before the academy and i can run it's 8 minute 30 second mile now since i've been here so that's really impressive for me because i've never been a big runner so i push myself every time i run here and i can run very well now and that's important because the academy our instructors are about seeing you progress and putting in an effort to try to do better so as my partner said our instructors will work with you you just have to show that you're willing to try because not everybody's going to start out running two and three miles or four miles you know that that takes progression that takes time so what i suggest and this is what i did before i went through the academy is it's a lot of i would suggest you do a lot of cal states and this is with any any department when you start getting into the gym and you start weightlifting and then you injure yourself before you get to the academy you're not going to be able to complete their physical assessments so what i tell people is a lot of running uh jumping jacks a lot of calisthenics stuff like that that's what you should be doing to prepare yourself for the academy and when you get your academy date you should be preparing five six months ahead of time to get yourself ready for the academy because like my partner says our academy is paramilitary and it is one of the toughest academies in this in the country you know um so just just get yourself prepared for the physical aspect of it the good thing about this is like when i um i didn't know that corrections was a career path when i was in high school i kind of wish i did maybe i would have gone that route but i said i chose the military but us being able to come out here and tell you now like look this is what you can expect you know so if this is something you have this is a goal that you have you know you can start preparing yourself now you're not waiting until you get the certification from the civil service commission that says oh the department of practice wants to hire you and then you come down to our phase processing where we tell you this is how the physical training is and you're like oh i didn't know it was going to be like this so you know you have it in your mind already that this is it's going to be physically demanding like you know and it's going to be with a mark so drilling ceremony is something that i've never had until um this academy it was really exciting for me because you know it's one of the first things you do in the morning just after mess hall we had breakfast and you know you're yelling major mainstream does a great job with cadences uh some of them have a little bit of humor to them so it adds levity to our situation but that's not to be mistaken like it's very very it's a very serious time it's a very serious matter drone ceremony dnc is uh it's great for unit morale it's great for self-confidence and um but it takes a very long time it's a very long a certain process i had to fall in with somebody to my right being right next to me oh i can't walk too far because then i'm off setting the line so you have to really like where the team like hey you might have to whisper really fast like hey fall back a little bit or hey united speed up a little bit [Music] i think dnc instills in everyone the importance of one uh being on the same page together being one unit and also um potentially detail and because if one person's uniform's off by a little bit everyone gets smoked and if um one person makes a mistake it's very noticeable because everyone else is doing the same thing so i think paying attention to those little details is what this academy amounts to when you're a team you work together and in prison you might not know everybody but it's so important to come together as a team even though you don't know each other so being in the drone ceremony and working together as a team you realize like everyone is around you has your back and they they'll be there for you through the thick and thin the grilling ceremony was mostly one of the most important parts of the academy for me because it teaches discipline like once said like i remember a particular time for me i forgot when i was in the academy i forgot my duty felt so i was late getting to line up so when i finally got there and got myself together not only did i have to do 100 push-ups but everybody had to do microsoft so and it teaches it teaches discipline and it teaches you that everybody has to be on on the same page because when you get to these institutions they become much more than your friends you know even if you might dislike a person you are all you all have while you're inside of these institutions so they become like family members to you you know if a cold breaks out or whatever we have each other's back 100 doesn't matter if you like the person or not you will have that person back you know so it's important for everybody to to be on the same page and i feel like drilling ceremony and the academy taught that to me and it taught that to to a lot of people that i know because if one person messes up with one person's ties not right as the person that said in the video everybody gets smoked so everybody's going 100 push-ups so i think that that was the most important part for me in the academy because it teaches discipline everybody's favorite page money paid that look good you start off as an officer we start off four thousand dollars we're making upwards now of 92 000 that's also not that's not including the overtime that we get inside the institution so if you decide you know when you first you know start working at the jail you can start working more hours you can get paid with money or you can get paid with time me i like to get money you can get promoted you can become a sergeant they're maxing out that's um they just got a new contract so they're they're a little over um right our lieutenants max out at 113 and our majors maxed out 129.

because it'll make john turn different shades of red we'll keep going um it is black history month times two times two just means that my mom is alive and she's black and it's black history month and my mom's black and she's alive so this piece is for her if that's okay say okay if not you can take it with my mother you will lose um after doing a lot of scientific research i have come to the fallen conclusion that conclusion is just that women are not human especially black women extra unhuman they're water because they're constantly adjusting to their surroundings see to know a black woman is to know power to see a black woman is to see power however to be raised by a black woman is to know fear take for example my mom and probably some of y'alls uh standing on the porch in the projects in dating ohio wearing that bathrobe they didn't have the belt no more it should have been burned into a long time ago like tossed away burn hide bury somewhere uh standing where she said the the property outside gave away to her property her ears were tuned to the sound of electric generators used to come on miles away she could hear the street lights come on a millisecond before they started to glow pause sorry this is a high school uh most you guys are like mad young okay before apps and cell phones and where is mykid.com and where are you sinned don't worry about where i am i'm at where i be send i don't want to go home early forget her i'm just i could cut up with my battery drain sorry mom um see before you could lie there was a this thing called a curfew and everyone said curfew and your mom didn't trust you with the watch because you're you so your curfew was when the street light came on amen i got a witness over here amen amen i got some witnesses in the building so uh you had to be on your property when the street lights came on because there's always someone afterwards i don't understand how come his mom didn't just text him because there weren't self-helps when i returned to the pool my mom could hear the sound of electric generators coming on miles away she could hear the street lights come on a millisecond before they started to glow see she could hear my labor breathing my runny nose we're gonna be honest tonight y'all my mom can actually hear the blood running through my veins as i would try to make it on that front porch in vain her hands would be casually wrapped around my church belt which is wrapped around her neck at the time and she checked her watching out of her head in approval of my trying the translation is that black women know that freedom is in your trying see a black woman is equal part serena williams back hand and a bible across your backside every woman in this room is five foot three when she's smiling but six foot eight when she is angry but equally beautiful in both of those moments when she's to whoop you it was like mr miyagi lesson to be the emergency broadcast system this is only a butt whooping it is just a regular old butt whooping he'd have been a real emergency butt whooping you'd be dead by now i would look up to see her crying more than me and she tell me baby it's better that i whoop and correct you in here and you go out into that world thinking you want anything more to your hopes and your dreams and went up in a hearse out there see she knew every piece of policeman's chalk was eager to make me street payment paparazzi famous wanted to outline my existence as if an outlet of a human is all i ever was she simply wanted to teach me the color within my lifelines learn how to fill up that space first before i start learning how to dance on the edges of razor blades see a black woman is cornbread from scratching keep your feet off my furniture [ __ ] on the mean of the phrase hard work all a black woman knows his work his job is two jobs is get up on the good foot his car public bus is walk if i have to moonlight waitress tips and cash under the table to do whatever i got to do to keep food on this table see everybody wants to beat her these days and everybody wants to judge her these days but last time i checked out nobody want to help her these days a black woman knows better than to ask the world for help she can smell or know a mile away she might sometimes come up short on her tithing at church but she's never once come up short on her life insurance policy because unfortunately most of all these days from her history a black woman has been trained to understand and comprehend the art of death shows that highs in the space of a house a broom and never reach it whispers in the ears to her children across the right street at the wrong time since she knows her mortality and that's what makes her immortal she hides her own wings from her own babies so i don't think she ever fly without them but in spite of that whenever hesitate they put on some horns and plays the devil that means keeping her children alive for one more day she's in the evil of men on her block in her white house and oftentimes even in her own bedroom every single black mother lives with post-traumatic stress disorder because she has to kick out the same man and she had to kick out restraining order so just trying to tell me from away from middle night and still love them even when his words mature because out of their mouth she is queen sniper negros ninja the swallow of the ugly truth and the holder of all your unbroken promises she is a righteous reflection she's the reason why 300-pound football players on sunday are gonna look dead in the camera and say hi mom at super bowl cameras she is america with the soul she's a constitution with a heart she's a dream that you can actually hold on to a black mother goddess queen a smart mouth or get your lips switching don't you stop away from me roll your eyes and i give you something to roll them for she is step on a crack and break your mama's back i dare you she says what makes you think my back ain't already broken she says i am more than just your mother she says i'm a rose trying to teach you how to bloom and how to grow and how to rise but that's how i say all right everybody got all super quiet john way right that's a good job [Applause] uh let's do this make it short make it sweet and get out your way everybody say hey i can't if norway's going good job say ooh that was extra for that one door i don't know why but you did something special do whatever you just did again all right let's do this bit and get out the way uh don't pause we're time restricted i point at you say a word good good that's the word is good good good as in is it good enough for me as in the room and the space we have here with these people is exactly enough to keep my heart filled in spite of running behind schedule from idiocy moments that happened in downtown lake cause downton late is kind of synonymous with dumb things happening so we always have to feel good about where we come from louder strength i don't know if i have much of that anymore left in his body as much as getting older and things are starting to sag this shouldn't sag anymore but looking across this space i see an unlimited amount of strength the capability don't need to wear a cape to be a superhero understand we need more than superheroes these days we need you each of you sitting here massed up showing your strength and solidarity is one strong not letting something as simple as a cough get between us strong making sure that you recognize that empty spaces aren't empty but actually filled with spirits that need to be part of this event this evening wrong we are here together not just to exemplify and glorify a race of people because there's only one month but all the other 11 we still have the same color and hue but we have come in a space to show that we can actually lift up and uplift one another in this process we will find a way to get through this every single day like we have before together hands will always be good enough to hold with strength for each one of us to make sure we pick up the weaker person around us and let them know that they are valuable they are necessary they are important so today make sure before you leave here you make a promise to yourself to don't leave the good deeds for only the strong people when each of us has an accountability and a responsibility to love so in closing i see you and i love you and i see you sport coat and i love you i see you blue work shirt and i love you i see you sound engineer and i love you i always see norton and i love him i see you blue and i love you what if we simply started to move and pass love around even faster than covet what if we started to find a way instead of being afraid of what's behind someone's mask of greeting each person with a smile that they could feel even when your face is covered because some of us have been wearing masks even before covet hit some of us wear a mask every day in front of a mirror so what if today we simply make a promise to greet each other in the name of love before i even ask your name i must say i love you what you doing later i love you you wanna get some food i love you what about del taco i love you i hate in-n-out burger i can't lie about it i love you anybody some orange tic tacs i love you marvel's better than dc i love you except for comic books and dc's better than marvel i love you lead with love beyond all the moments let's make sure that we can start eliminating something like a black history month so much so because we start to forget and forgive and move on and we start to apologize who needs to give up and we move on let's move on to something much bigger and better than ourselves we don't need superheroes we just need you thank you [Applause] oh [Music] thank you ed maverie for those words of wisdom they truly filled me with the right energy to continue on with our black history month celebration yes cynthia girl i definitely agree now can we direct our focus to nordstrom wisdom with his amazing painting of ed mabry's spoken word wow oh it's amazing i like it it does reflect what and mary was talking about about love and people and how important it is to be all together here for one greater cause today yeah cynthia i definitely agree now i am pleased to invite our next guest on stage we have an amazing speaker from raytheon technologies and engineering director named mark anthony thomas who'll be joining us today right now and giving this little speech and educational thing and right after that we have our q dogs up in the house who's going to come and do a little performance for us so stay in tune thank you thank you ladies that was amazing is everybody having a good time all right so just like my guy said right before me i love you so i'm here because i love you and i want to go through this journey i want you to go through this journey with me because i'm going to tell three stories all at one as a people we're creative i'm i'm gonna try to show my creativity by telling you three stories all at one time and you'll see hopefully how it all comes together at the end and by the way this is an outline of a book that i'm gonna actually release so you're the first ones that get to see this so fly with me come with me on this journey uh first chart please is it me hello okay gotta give it some time to warm up and and and what what i'm going to do is i come from raytheon technologies and it's important that you guys know that i sat in some of the same auditoriums and chairs as you at as a youngster uh the the youngest of five i didn't have much so don't think that i'm some some guy that came up here that had it had it easy you're gonna go through this journey with me and it wasn't easy but in the end i'm gonna tell you all my secrets and i want you to walk away with all of these secrets so um at raytheon we build a lot of things that protect the country some stuff i can't even tell you or i have to kill you so i'm not going to talk about my work i'm gonna talk about how i got there so fly with me let's go let's go let's go okay so here's the first chart i'm not going to spend a lot of time but i come from los angeles and i and i come from john c fremont high school i just actually saw that school on the news the other day so it wasn't an easy life and and i know for sure it's probably similar to a lot of the things that you guys are going through but you can make it and i'm going to show you how i graduated from john c fremont with a 3.8 gpa i went on to cal state northridge for my mechanical engineering degree and then i got my master's degree in one year at stanford university but we're going to come back to stanford because even though i did that in a year it's something happened there that i got to share with you i've done so many things at general motors use aircraft boeing as well as raytheon but again i'm not going to go through what i'm doing now it's important what did i do to now own a 23 million dollar contract what did i do to get to where i am today that's the part i want to leave with you so let's do it okay so here's the thing everything i did it i i really believe everything started kind of like in middle school where i i played sports and i i did academics very well i used to go to a summer internship at ucla while playing football and basketball but an important thing happened during that time frame in about the ninth grade um i was in a algebra class and my teacher gave us homework i turned the homework in and he's going over to homework and he got a different answer to me you know i'm a respectable kid right you know we all grew up with respect but i told him he was wrong not only is he wrong but the book is wrong and so he's like dude the book got this answer i got the same answer maybe you're not right so three weeks later he's doing some more homework and he calls me up to the in front of the class and he says i want to apologize to you mark because i called the publishing company and you actually were right and so so what i want to tell you and the rest of the kids here when i teach you something and you know what you're doing whether it's an adult or even a teacher like myself you make them prove you wrong because if you know what you know you stick with it and that stuck with me for a long time and that's when i first thought for the first time maybe i am a little smart maybe just a little bit and then all of my friends start calling me the professor so if you call me the professor and you say i'm smart now i have to live up to what you're saying and i'm telling you that was the motivation to to boost me to say okay we can do this so then a pivotal point came in my life because now i had matriculated to high school and i was playing on the football team but i also loved the academics part and i had to choose between the two i had to choose and i chose the academics and the only reason i chose the academics because i was slow i went that fast i mean i had a few little moves right that's all i have right there and and and that's it so i said i'm not gonna play pro i'm five foot four 144 pounds back then um but i know i'm not going to play pro so academics was it and at that time i made myself of the machine that no matter what is put in front of me i have to make it through academics and that was a pivotal moment in my life so now i'm at the end of high school applying for college and see i had a college advisor that you have to understand my whole family all wanted me to go to ucla all my brothers wanted to go to ucla i'm the youngest of five ucla is the thing but my advisor says you still better apply to two cal state schools two uc schools two historical black colleges two private schools you have to do that with the grade point averages that that you have and i'm telling you guys all of this because don't think you know exactly what you're going to do this is about options it's about options in your life because even though i knew i was going to go to ucla i needed options i applied and i got into every school except stanford i told you we're going to go back there i didn't get into stanford at undergrad so i was a little pissed i got into ucla but i was still you know a little salty about stanford but three weeks before school started i said i need to go to a smaller school i feel like i had gone to ucla for seven summers and i felt like it was a big lecture halls and i needed to know my teachers so i changed my mind changed everything that my family wanted for me and i went against them and i went to cal state northridge smaller school but here's the thing if i do well at a smaller school it propels me for graduate school so i chose northridge at cal state northridge i want mechanical engineering and what i did was i developed what i called the six-pack what i mean there is every the the the five guys you could barely see them here the five guys there and myself we did everything together in undergrad we made a promise to ourselves this is not the thomas promise i'm gonna get there but we made a promise to ourselves that we're gonna make sure that every one of us made it through undergraduate school so we studied together we played basketball together we ate together we had a chalkboard in our dorm every every high school i mean every homework assignment that we got we had to rotate in front of that that chalkboard so just if one person knew all of the answers we wanted to make sure everybody knew the answers and knew the right approach that's pulling each other up to make sure that we all succeed i'm dropping science to you while i'm telling my story okay next so we did the six-pack doing well at cal state northridge i'm about at about a 3.6 grade point average mom is still mad that i didn't go to ucla but will hold that story and then a pivotal moment comes and the reason i'm telling you this i'm telling you some secrets that i haven't even told too many people my roommate gets a phone call and it's it is hugh's aircraft calling for to give him a fellowship to go to grad school so i answer the phone hey this is mark how are you what we're calling for trevor is trevor there oh no uh trevor's not hearing that right now can i take a message well we're calling him about a fellowship this is hugh's aircraft oh trevor works for northrop grumman but but i'll make sure he gets the call so trevor had an already had a fellowship at northrop grumman and two weeks later he tells hughes aircraft i'm not interested but because your boy opened up the door and made some some noise and told them that i was interested i get a call the next day and it was somebody different too and they try to play like i was the first choice oh mr thomas uh we're so proud to tell you that you you got the fellowship and i'm like oh my god i did it oh my god knowing that i was the second fiddle but that's okay and what i'm trying to tell you sometimes it it sometimes it may take luck but a closed mouth don't get fed so so sometimes if you have to do some things to let everybody know where you want to go things like this can happen and my whole life changed there then because this is the reason why now i have a fellowship and what that means is i have all the money i need to pay for the schooling to go to grad school that means i get a thousand dollar stipend per month that means all of the schooling is done and if any school knows that you have the money now they're listening to you so okay mr stanford yeah remember remember me four years ago right i choose stanford and my whole freaking life changed i go to stanford freaking amazing now remember i thought i was smart so i'm continuing to think i'm smart until i got into those classes when i got into those classes it hit me hard but then i thought about the things i did in the past i formed a pack i may not know everything but together we can learn this this together so i did the same thing i said okay i'm gonna find some other guys that are taking the same classes as me and we will do this together we got two twins that i met that was on a general motors fellowship we got together we did the same thing we ended up with a 3.6 grade point average from stanford the darn school that didn't accept me for undergrad and now with a master's degree finished in one year i can go anywhere i want i'm talking about this is that little kid from south central los angeles i get a phone call from general motors and they say i want you i'm like general motors detroit okay let's let's sum it up i got los angeles and i have detroit you want me to come to the troy but then this girl is in in my life that and that wasn't part of the deal i don't supposed to be falling in love and and things like that right but gm said if you don't want to deal with a long-distance relationship and guys i'm telling you this is in the interview they hire me and my fiance in the interview so i was on my way to detroit so we go to detroit right i leave my mom though see i'm the youngest of five and and there's so many things everything that motivated me was was my mom related but my mom got mad at me so i can take the job in general motors she had to make me mad to take you talking about love i i'm trying to make sure i don't cry because what she did was amazing so i leave and i go to general motors i got the new wife all of that stuff and now gm asked me what are some of the important things that you did at stanford and i said i brought stanford's community together because everything that i've done is not about me it's about us it's always been about us everything that i told you when i tutored um i i put the pack together it's always about us so i got general motors to give me money for five high schools to design and build cars and teaching young people engineering principles while building the cars and that that picture there is out of the first book that i wrote an algebra book that got released across the country with the kids that built the cars with general motors so so so so now gm lets us build at five high schools so that we can use the cars to make people love engineering after that we wrote a grant for the national national science foundation grant and i got a 27 000 grant to do the program more that led me to winning the u.s black engineer of the year for community service can you believe that can you believe that that that's just doing what's in my heart with what we learned as a people growing up and to get that kind of exposure but here's another pivotal point my mom starts to get sick now i'm all the way in detroit i'm doing so well i got all of these vps as mentors and everything but family comes first so i have to leave gm i transferred to a company called hughes aircraft remember hughes aircraft was the company that gave me that fellowship so now i'm back and they transfer all of my uh years that i worked at general motors i get those years back so i'm starting off fresh i'm 27 years old and i'm a manager and so so i'm excited i'm back here i'm starting to tutor more um the director of my uh uh unit at hughes aircraft they asked me to tutor her son who's doing bad and math and at the end of the year i get him a b-plus and they're like oh my god this is great so but before i left i made a promise to my mom that when i come back she always said i always wanted you guys to go to ucla of course but she's still on that right i'm gonna go to ucla i really want that bruins okay i went to stanford mom okay but she always said i wanted one of you guys to go so far even to get a phd or a doctorate and so now i have that on my heart and i'm gonna do whatever i can to make it so that's the thomas promise i'm gonna get you a doctor mom a thomas doctor i'm gonna do that for you two years later she passed and and i i just i just was so hurt but now i'm motivated to do even better i continue my whole career i'm tutoring middle school students there's this young girl that i start tutoring she wanted to know everything how i got there all the little tricks and i'm gonna show you on the last page all of the tricks but this girl she knew all of that stuff because i kept grinding and telling her all of these things as as i tutor now raytheon does like general motors they make me an offer that i really i just couldn't refuse because i was running manufacturing at hughes aircraft and and i'm gonna tell you this because when we get to the other pages i'm showing you that if you're good no i'm i'm spilling it no just wait till we get the other page if you're good and passionate about everything you do i'll wait till we get to the next page anyway i go to raytheon now i've been there 17 years they've flown me everywhere all over the the world i've done so many things but i can't tell you about it right because at least one of you i may have to take you up so so some of the stuff that we even build is going to be flying over the super bowl on sunday too so but i can't talk too much about it now i tell you what i've done where i've gone but how did i make it here's the seven get your pencils ready here's here's my method and everybody that i tutored this these are the guiding principles that i've had throughout my whole entire life and it's aim high these are the things that i believe in a is for attitude have a positive attitude things will always happen to you but it's how you respond to them that allows you to move on i is for intelligence as you can see i made sure that i knew i wasn't going to play football so i made sure that i made myself a machine and i tried to learn and go as far as i can through school be a mentor not only a mentor but a mentee i'm i'm sharing this stuff it's gonna be in the book you guys getting it for free be your mentor and and be a mentee always lift each other up because just like people i'm helping people others did the same for me work ethic when it comes to hard working work ethic is probably the most important thing that people overlook they think that if you're gifted and you have all of this i know so many people that knew way more than me in class but you're not gonna all work me you're not gonna work out work me and every time i do tutoring i explain that you gonna get your butt at that chalkboard right get at the chalkboard you're gonna outwork everybody that it's almost like that kobe mentality nobody's gonna outwork me indispensable that's the one i wanted this when gm wanted me so bad and when they do that and will fly you out i didn't even tell you about the limo picking me up and and take me around all of that stuff and then offer me and the fiance a job when you when you've got it like that and you do things with passion and make them desperately want you you you're a winner and that's what we need to strive for last two god keep him in your heart and live by his principles but the last one is hope and that's being inspired by others and inspiring other people because if i never i'm telling you as i was growing up i always thought i was i i i would be something i mean i wanted it really bad because i used to just sit in this in in the in this chairs at in school and i used to want to be something so bad i didn't know what it was going to be but i wanted to be successful you got to want it you got to want it you guys so life is a marathon it's not a sprint don't try to cheat life but embrace the journey and if you aim high and reach for the sky even if you don't make it to the sky you're going to always be amongst the stars that is it but wait there's one more slide i told you guys about the promise right i told you about a young girl that i used to tutor right we've been talking about the whole 15 minutes right that young girl name is ariane she was she was named after ariane rocket that her dad the first job that he had at hughes aircraft she was named after that aircraft because he wanted her to be an astronaut but she went to ucla right oh not only did she went to ucla she was pre-med and finished 3.85 grade point average huh and guess what on march 18th she becomes dr ariane s thomas howard university sports medicine and guess what you guys she fulfills the thomas promise thank you [Applause] thank you mr thomas i am sure everyone enjoyed listening to your insightful words as much as i did now can we direct our focus to the amazing painting from norton wisdom wow he really did illustrate what mr thomas was talking about that looks like a like a schoolhouse to me what do you think florence um there's so many interpretations to this i see a lot of money symbolism and i also see someone on his back and i i guess that's maybe the influence people had in his life do you hear that hear what the barking the footsteps and the clapping does that remind you of anything in particular oh yeah we have our historically african american omega sci-fi fraternity joining us right now can we give it up for our q-dog [Applause] well let's meet up team [Music] all right all right

correct um then it would take away the protections that we sold value as the department of labor to make sure miners are protected it does not mean that they cannot perform these services yes um we would want to place the vocational apprenticeships within the child labor laws so that we wouldn't be exempting these apprenticeships from all child labor laws right so that would be i guess a policy call on whether you wanted to remove the requirement for just the apprentice program that they would not have to be permitted or registered and those under the age of 16 their hours would not be monitored or regulated um i thought we sent you a draft do we note that okay sorry we should have done that um okay there we would be in favor if it did not remove the requirement for a permit or a certificate um and that those at under the age of 16 there would be um oversight of the hours that they work okay we'll try to draft something along those lines thank you chair thank you for the discussion okay moving on to that was two builds i'm going to the breakout room please recess convening the committees on education and labor culture and the arts the recommendation of the chairs will be to pass out senate bill 3092 relating to commercial enterprises in schools to pass as is shared votes eye the recommendation is to pass out senate bill 3092 unamended the chair votes i voice your vote side senator de la cruz aye senator kanoha senator favello hi all members president voting on affirmative recommendations adopted thank you and for committee on labor culture and arts um same recommendation um senator iahara we're voting on for members of the community and labor culture in the arts we're voting on the chair's recommendation to pass senate bill on amended chair taniguchi aye senator hara vice chief of side senator chang hi senator kyo kaloli aye senator favela aye accommodation is adopted thank you and for senate bill 27-11 relating to education after the discussion the recommendations of the chair is to pass with amendments amendments would be to remove the youth vocational training program or internship from the exceptions subsection add that instead as a definition under also add youth vocational training or internship as defined under 390-1 as an allowable employment opportunity under 390 dash and 4 will defect the date to july 1 2050 for further discussion as we move it on to the next committee and we also have a couple technical and non-substantive amendments members questions if not recommendation is to pass 27 11 with amendments chair of education votes eye chair of education votes eye on senate bill 2711 to pass with amendments vice chair chairman sai uh any members uh senator de la cruz canoe favela voting with reservations or in opposition hearing none all five members voted affirmative thank you for the committee on labor culture and arts chair thank you same recommendation sorry any any reservations objections to the chair's recommendation past senate bill 27-11 with amendments hearing none the recommendation is adopted with all members present thank you that concludes this hearing thank you thank you very much we are convening the committees on education and committee on higher education it's friday february 11 3 15 pm we are in conference room 229.

and like a partner said you only need a high school education to be a uniformed officer so you can have a high school education you know if you have to drive to get promoted you can make upwards of 129 000 that sounds pretty good right i think that sounds amazing the other good thing is you get paid time off you get 15 sick days a year time you can use you know whenever you'd like mostly you know you're supposed to use it when you're sick but being as we're down here by the shore it's a nice day out during the week especially because how's it on the weekends it's packed and i'd be working at the jail on the weekend so i might take a day off during the week and i might take my you know rest day go to the uh go down the beach for the day we also get vacation time and personal days our medical benefits are fantastic our retirement plan whichever one you know gets into a career like this so we can have retirement we can have a nice pension military benefits is anyone thinking about the military nobody yeah you can think about it you know that's not to say if you don't get in a department you spend a year you know on your probation you know your probation period if you decide that you want you know you want to go into the military you want to do you know the armored reserves or the you know you should join the marines because you know just unbiased but if you decide to do anything with the military our department is extremely military friendly you know they work with you when you have your drill weekends and two weeks off and you also get paid while you're off doing uh your military stuff so you're gonna get paid by the government by the military you're also gonna get paid by an apartment while you're away another wonderful thing we don't have layoffs throughout this um pandemic we've closed institutions but all those officers just go to other institutions we don't lay anybody off and the top tuition reimbursement like we said uh our academy is worth up to 24 college credits depending how much you go to so if you decide to continue your you know college career your college education will pay 50 depending on your course load and depending on how many are depending on grade point average and um these are career opportunities and advancements these are different specialized units that we have in the department let everybody know that being correctional is a correctional police officer now is our actual title um it's not just about being in the jail we have several specialized units like me and my partner we work down in recruitment where we do the background investigations uh we check the social medias and you know we go out to different high schools and colleges we go to churches we go to food drives so there are different things you can do our special investigations division is similar to internal affairs which is where i said i i also encourage you to take advantage of our tuition reimbursement because to get into an internal affairs one you have to have three years of being an officer and two you have to have some sort of a degree so that's why i do tell people and promotions as far as like administration they do require a master's degree so i encourage people to get that degree as well um our training academy is where you will be down there for 12 weeks for your training before you go to your institution for the additional two weeks so that's another place where we have officers place that to train you physically and teach you positive procedure of the department our central transportation unit is where our officers transport the inmates out of state and throughout the state uh whether it be from medical appointments or transporting to different prisons in different states and different um cities throughout the state of new jersey we also have a central medical unit where we do have inmates that are housed we have a certain portion of the hospital we have officers stationed there um our firearm plane unit is one thing when you go to the academy you must qualify for our firearm training um that's a big part we do i do tell people um do not go out trying to practice trying to shoot before you go to our range because you can develop bad habits so i always tell people to learn how to shoot if you're going to go to an academy learn once you're in the academy because you don't want to pick up bad habits and like i said our firearm training we have officer station here we also have our honor guard unit where they go to different uh special ceremonies funerals etc um and like i said our promotions would be officers going all the way from officer sergeant lieutenant to major which we discussed does not require a degree each do require civil service tests and they do hire based off the highest score on down i believe passing the score is and then we have our administration like i said earlier requires a master's degree and our administrator is someone who runs who's at the top of the chain in each institution in each prison has an administrator and they run the jail and then they report to the commissioner and commissioner reports to the government so there's a lot of different positions that you can that you can get into in this department well these next couple slides are going to be all the pictures of everything we just discussed so this is our our special operations group he said like a version of at least a swat team something like that so you know something really big kicks off inside of an institution they're going to call these guys in you know give it you know help give all the officers that are already in the institution you know give us a hand you know getting a situation under control is an instructor overlooking a pt uh session at the academy these are the buses that you probably see out on the highways and turnpikes you also see bands my partner said that moving the inmates all around the state this is our firearms unit doing a training exercise this is the night fire you do one night fire class at the uh when you're through the academy this is one of our honor guards like i said they go to all kinds of special events i was just at a new jersey doubles game when they do the national anthem you know they have the people come out and present the flags me and you know three other officers we just did that you know last weekend but we also do uh funerals and everything else like that this is just women in corrections a lot of people when i think about law enforcement that don't immediately think that it's a job for women but it absolutely is all these women that you see here that they're all different rights the women in the white shirts or majors the one woman in the uh red blazer she's one of our administrators um the woman in the black suit she's a special investigator and you have all the different ranks of the uniformed officers and that's just a little bit of what we have in the department so don't think just because you're a lady can't be in law enforcement because it's absolutely it's absolutely a place for us so i had very high expectations going into it and they did not disappoint at [Applause] [Music] you just didn't all what to expect you know going to that orientation that's that's really what i remember just not knowing what to expect getting there and just being prepared for whatever it is law enforcement has been my goal ever since i can remember since i was a child um and i've worked my entire life to this moment um to get to this moment rather and i've applied to multiple different police agencies and this is the first opponent that gave me a shot and wanted to see what i could offer them and i'm just really excited having gone through this entire academy um as tough as it was to getting so close to the finish line only five days away i feel like i'm about to complete the biggest goal of my life it's been a long amount of time to be here we had an extended academy because of the covid but finally we've made it we have a couple hours left we're counting down now we're all done tuesday so i didn't think i could do it honestly i thought i was going to fail the second pt assessment i was going to end up home but now that i'm here and i'm going to graduate i'm just so ecstatic and so proud of myself this is something that i thought about just watching my father do this for a long time he did this for 24 years before he retired to now taking his footsteps and you know growing from where he left or from where he left off and taking my career hopefully the next step so you know coming coming up to graduation or coming up to leaving him on this tuesday and then getting ready to go in facilities so it's breathtaking i'm still proud of myself i still feel very accomplished with myself [Music] so i had a good support system so with a good support system i needed that to be able to kick through this is one of the graduating classes being sworn in at the trenton memorial [Music] hey we're going home [Music] so that concludes our presentation so anybody have any questions but now we're going to open it up to questions great so um so like uh i talked to a military recruiter okay and in there you obviously aren't allowed to have your phone or any form of communication really at all i'm guessing it's the same way no phones inside the secure perimeter institution so we have certain parts outside of the institution but once you're inside that you might not have any sort of communication device that goes for apple watches that goes for cell phones also um when we talk about grooming standards and as far as the department of corrections you're not allowed to have and as you can see when you saw the video as far as the males go completely shaped so that means no beard no mustache like i got right now nothing okay so um and that that that's how it is especially you know when you've gone through the academy women you don't have to shave your hair so don't worry about that but it has to be either in a bun or has to be shoulder length so those are the uh zoning standards anybody else have any questions i'm at like in the academy while you're in the academy no you don't have your goals they might give you if you guys are um i don't want to call it being good but if everyone is doing good everyone's on track everyone's doing how they're supposed to be doing they might give you 20 minutes on like a wednesday night to go make a phone call but that's about it we do have like something called incentive nights out depending on if like she said i hate to say good but you know they do give you though every wednesday my class we got it for one week and that was it so you know we pretty much uh contact our family uh when we saw them at first you know when we got home on friday so you know that's one thing um it's good to have a good support system like the trainee has said in the video because you know you will need it for me i'm third generation in department of corrections for my grandparents on down in different capacities so i had that support system and i had people in my family that that knew about this department and any different factors of it so but i will say that nothing has prepared me for working in this department until i got into those prisons and the doors shut behind me and i had to learn um hands-on so it's no matter what people can tell you he had helped me out a lot to prepare me and a lot of people don't know about the department of corrections because because we're not in the spotlight as much as the police are on the street so that's why we try to travel to the different high schools and teach you all about what we do because a lot of you don't don't know because like i said we're not the public spotlight um so it's like i said it's an excellent career it's plenty of room for for growth and advancement i mean work your way up from officer or there's somebody who's worked their way all the way up an officer all the way up to deputy commissioner of the department of corrections so there's so many different things that you can do you know even in the civilian aspect of we have social workers we have nurses we have psychologists psychiatrists so there's so many different things that you can do we are the largest like my partner said largest law enforcement agency in the state of new jersey and the second largest employer in state new jersey health care so anybody else that has any questions you gotta have some questions no more questions about the academy any other questions about the academy and requirements touched on everything when you complete the academy do you have it are you offered different facilities throughout the state or you have a choice or while you're in the academy they do create they ask pretty much they know where everybody lives at their addre before it was a lengthy period of time like there are some people that don't get lucky very few though there are some people that might have to travel about an hour you know but the department is very good at trying to put you in an institution that's close to you because we do have 11 institutions throughout the state northern central and southern so they try to pitch you as close as they can but you know that doesn't always work out if you do get placed far away it used to be 16 months before you can uh request a transfer but i think they're trying to get it down to like four months if they haven't already done so they do allow you to put an order at least while i was in the academy this is going back nine years ago but i believe they still do the same thing where they allow you to do a wish list of the different institutions that you want to go to go to and then they'll pitch you wherever you know depending on the needs of the institutions you might have said this but where is the training academy located secret where seaguar museum gotcha do you investigate it or um as a police officer will you conduct the investigation well what we do is we write inmate in charge the officer will write the inmate in charge uh sergeant or or above will come and investigate that charge and adjudicate it depending on you know the situation always will go through to sip which is our internal affairs department and it may take it from there the charge that it may whether it be with a street crime or whatever because like i said assaulting um staff is considered aggravated assault so an sid would get involved in that and that would become a street any other questions so we do have um some literature over here that we'd like you to take this one of each on anything you see on the desk you can take one of each other on your way out we appreciate you all having us here anytime do you all have anything please let us know all right um contact us we're always willing to come out for anything that's our sole job to travel to different schools and so let us know we appreciate everybody coming out tonight today sorry you all have a good rest of your day all right thank you okay guys back to room 120.

interim assistant superintendent with the department of education testifying on behalf of interim superintendent kipayachi the state department of education supports the intent of sb 2142 and respectfully offers comments on this measure relating to computer science the department supports a measure to allow computer science to fulfill up to two credits of world language fine arts and career technical education as part of the high school diploma credits however the department considers computer science as a separate subject area from those subjects mentioned earlier and believes that adding computer science to the list of subject area options may be more appropriate than as a replacement in addition the department will need to seek approval from the hawaii state board of education to revise the graduation requirements and request that the implementation date be extended to school year 2023 to 2024 or the graduating class of thank you terry for your testimony moving on yvonne law interim executive director for hawaii state public charter school commission yvonne please not present chair thank you in support nathan morata dean college of education good afternoon hi good afternoon uh chair kidani chair kim and members of committee nathan morata dean for the college of education at the university of hawaii at manoa we're in support of the intent of sb 2142 relating to computer science the university of hawaii college event offers comments within our written testimony and i'll be available for any questions thank you thank you very much dean morocco osatui junior president hsta aloha laverne moore speaking on behalf of osa tui jr president of the hawaii state teachers association while hsd supports this bill and its goals we respectfully request one amendment to the bill under section five of the bill on page six line nine cross out the word include and insert offer for we don't believe curriculum requirements should necessarily be set in statute but instead offering them at the university to provide incentives and opportunities for our students and teachers in hawaii to excel in computer science the hsd asked your committee to support this bill mahalo thank you laverne kate hendricks president testifying for code.org not present chair thank you celeste endo individual celeste there aloha chair kidani chairman carla kim and members of the education and higher education committees as a computer science teacher here at queen ka'ahumanu elementary and a parent with a son at kalani high and daughter at uh manoa i encourage your support of sb2142 my son from a very early age showed a keen sense of creativity he would tinker with legos and as a toddler would imaginatively build all kinds of intricate lego designs just like yours at home he learned coding and robotics in elementary yet when he got to middle school didn't have computer science experiences at kalani he is learning computer science yet doesn't feel confident to see to continue after this year we can close these huge ladder gaps in learning computer science by providing pathways and incentives for pre-service teachers and hawaii school high school students mahalo for your consideration now is the time let's go hawaii wow that's the most exuberant testimony i've heard in such a long time thank you so much celeste and thank you for being a teacher that concludes our oral testimony and we have uh 23 testimonies um all in support or offering comments moving on senate bill 2-3 any questions oh sorry any questions i do i'm late for you playing it sir any questions so dean morata yes hi i just wanted to find or ask you i know you provided comments but um do you feel that this bill or any bills of this nature is meddling into uh and we're trying to take over the role of the border board of regents uh no i don't think it's uh cons i don't i wouldn't consider it meddling i think that um we are very serious about we've had we have faculty that are actually working on creating and have collaborated already with its ncs on developing computer science tracks and add a field for licensure already so uh we've been you know focusing on this particular area for quite some time already okay so as long as you guys agree with what it is we propose then it's not meddling but if you guys don't agree then it's meddling um no no i i i think um you know i i i we're fine with this particular bill no i'm trying to make a point here because when uh agrees with something then we're not meddling but if you if you know we put in things that you guys don't agree with then we're meddling we're overstepping we're we don't know any better and why are we telling the university what to do so i'm just trying to get some consistency here because um you know it's very frustrating for us especially when these recommendations come from the university themselves we put it into a bill that we get accused of uh you know overstepping our boundaries uh going over the constitution or the um the constitutional whatever that they the union state so i just want to make sure that as you guys come forward that you guys are consistent yes and uh in addition to myself the uh the provost provost bruno has also i see that and that's another reason why i bring it up thank you okay thank you thank you further questions [Music] if not thank you for the testimony moving on to senate bill 2359 relating to the university of hawaii i think i have the lead on that madam chair yes okay and we will start with um kitayashi superintendent this requires the university of hawaii to establish in each county k-12 expanded teaching cohort programs for students who are pursuing undergraduate degrees in education requires interim reports prior to the regular session of 2023 2024 2025 and a final report prior to the regular session of 2026 and repeals 12 31-26 superintendent good afternoon chair kadani chair mercado kim and members of the committee sean bacon interim assistant superintendent for the office of talent management testifying on behalf of interim superintendent keith ayashi and the hawaii state department of education the department's department supports this measure and sees this as an additional avenue through which we can increase our teacher workforce thank you for your support and the opportunity to testify thank you next is laverne moore from hsta aloha uh laverne moore speaking on behalf of osatui president of hsd certainly our aspiring teachers need more support with respect to availability of courses throughout the uh system particularly on the neighbor islands it should also be noted that the existing grow your own program could be expanded to perhaps reach the same goal hsta feels it's important to point out that at the heart of our teacher recruitment and retention difficulties is the fact that teachers in hawaii are dramatically underpaid when cost of living is factored in with many taking second and third jobs to provide a more structural support for teachers and aspiring teachers in hawaii the hawaii state teachers association asked your committee to support this bill mahalo for the opportunity to testify thank you laverne and nathan murata from the university of hawaii uh good afternoon cherokee donnie cher kim and members of the committee uh the thank you for the opportunity to testify in support of sb2359 relating to the university system to establish an each county of k-12 expanded teaching co-op programs for students who are pursuing undergraduate degrees in education we do stand by written testimony and i am available for any questions thank you okay thank you that is all that we have that is testifying via zoom or in writing so with that members any questions no again dean morata just want to get this on the record so this measure requires the university to establish in each county k-12 expanded teaching cohort programs correct that's correct okay and so you guys are okay with us requiring you guys to do that we are we are anticipating getting out to the neighbor islands as part of our strategic plan yes okay so we're not meddling right you are not meddling okay thank you you can expect that question from me consistently from now on actually i do have a question does this um bill allow the expansion to be through that grow our own program uh no no the uh to grow our own is is well i mean we'd love to expand the program correct yes um but we use that the grown as the uh the catalyst as to how we can then promote the recruitment on neighbor islands uh with our potential candidates there so okay but are you saying that this would this bill would require separate funds then yes okay thank you thank you and the funding would come from your funding mechanism or where does the funding come from uh that is yet to be determined by whom by the university by the i don't think the legislature by at this point i believe it's the legislature yeah but there's no money in this bill right is there money in this bill i don't see any um i i don't see any um funding mechanism or money you know this one has to move on to wham so maybe um before it gets to ways and means uh maratha if you want to uh um let the chair kim know what you think would be the required amount for this it would be um helpful so that we can try and get the funding we'll do thank you thank you okay uh that's it then senator i'll turn it back over to you senator chidani okay we're now on senate bill 2636 relating to civil rights specifies additional forms of

made a commitment to to interpret title ix prohibition against discrimination on the basis of sex to include discrimination in the form of sexual harassment including sexual violence and to include discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity this reverses the trump administration usde regulations undercutting such protections yes shifting federal usdoe interpretation of title ix protections highlights the need for strong state law in this area the state law should expressly prohibit discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation as it does in our other state civil rights statutes i'd like to call your attention to the amended section hrs section 360 thank you bill next to testify yankee overly policy chair for aauw of hawaii uh good afternoon territory and

we do have a number of written testimony um mostly in support and a couple with comments next item i believe is george here kim um i have a question oh sorry questions from university of hawaii hello chair hi um can the university do this now do you need this measure can we do are we able to to implement it right is that the question or right can the university do this requires covered entities to adopt written policies and undertake other specified enforcement actions no later in january 1 2023 so um are you folks uh able to do this without any kind of legislation um yes we are we have we have policies in place so we are we are able to um you know if the question is around policies and procedures or um notification of title ix rights we we are doing that already we have the capability yes yeah i'm asking because i don't know why you folks don't do it i mean why do we need a measure and a bill uh to force you to do something when you are already have that ability to do that oh i think that we have actually been working you know closely with you know the women's legislative caucus and the legislature over the years to because we all care about title ix and it we share the same goals so i'm not sure as far as you know the why um the question of why it has to be done um i think that you know there has been some concern around reporting requirements and i understand them um but the policies are are there and i understand that there are always external stakeholders you know who care deeply to ensure that title ix is being implemented you know in its in its true spirit and intent so i'm not sure if that answers your question properly but well i'm just concerned because i've heard from the women's caucus i've heard from representatives who have met with uh and feel that they have not acted timely they have not they've dragged their feet on this they've consistently asked for updates as to what's going on which is why we have this kind of measure in this bill when they're not doing it and again it bothers me that i consistently hear that we shouldn't be meddling and we shouldn't be interfering and yet you guys don't don't act timely and so when we do exercise our oversight but these are areas that you folks can do already so i'm not sure why you're not you know taking on the responsibility and then force us to have to implement um statues like this i well i would say that you know respectfully we i don't feel that there has been dr dragging a feat in terms of updates um i think in terms of you know being transparent about reporting and um how we are doing there's some of that that's listed in the testimony um you know transparency around the prevalence um and ensuring that students are aware of their rights i think those are data points that we have always shared and that we actually welcome you know the legislature and external stakeholders and community members to have more conversations about how we can improve programming um but so i think it is a really i understand your question it is really broad and i'm speaking as to the policies and the specific need of of what bill which i understand is around legislating a policy and also reporting requirements so i think from my own experience i feel like that commitment has been there and that there hasn't been any hiding and i always welcome i i mean i feel that i have had a very strong relationship with the women's legislative caucus and i always welcome more um you know collaborative um work to effectuate something that it is so important i mean particularly in this the 50th year um of title ix so i i mean if there's anything specific i'm i'm hoping i'm answering your question but if there's anything specific i mean i i appreciate your answer but i'm just sharing with you that i got a visit from a key member of the women's caucus specifically about this issue specifically about having met with the university and that having them dragged their feet and i was asked as the chair of higher education to see that we can't get more action from the university and it just uh bothers me that we have to take these kinds of measures and when we do then we get criticized um for meddling which is is our oversight so um i think you should talk more closely with some of the representatives in the women caucus and with the university of hawaii because they actually met with the president and that's why i got the call where i got the visit so i am speaking directly from them and i just raised these concerns so thank you very much for being hi thank you members for their questions if not moving on and the next one is actually my deal bill 214 relating to student journalism establishes freedom of press protections for student journalists producing school-sponsored media or university-sponsored media unless subject to certain exceptions to testify interim superintendent kitayashi please good afternoon cheers kidania mccarthy members of the committee here i'm terry shijima again interim assistant superintendent testifying on behalf of interim superintendent keith hayashi we stand on our written testimony and respectfully offer comments on sb 214 the department of education strongly values student voice and encourages students to be fully engaged in their own learning including civic engagement the board of education currently has two policies that directly address this topic of the bill board of ed policy 101-1 student code of conduct and board of ed policy 101-9 schools sponsored student publications so given the expanded opportunities to promote student agency it's critical that all schools continue to balance the intellectual and social development of their students with freedom of expression thank you for this opportunity to testify on sb 214.

resolution to change the name of mckinney high school i am proud of that article and i learned a lot too our current laws would allow a principal to search a certain article because it's too

decides whether or not that article could be written is it explicit in the bill i mean is there any checks and balances um so for our staff we have an advisor who always looks over our articles and to we in the beginning of the year we always revisit the laws of journalism we make sure that we we we don't harm another person and with with an advisor it's an extra step of precaution that was protect other students we generally do not write about um bringing somebody down especially another student okay but what happened if if if a reporter gets zealous and do write something like that can then the advisor then make the decision that you're not allowed to print it or publish it well so what happens at our school we um we always we always look at each other's work we never um if somebody comes up with something that's you know this never happened before at ours because we always look over each other and we always share our ideas but what if that does happen then is does advisor have that right under this bill to then um either have you change some of the things in the article or um so advisors is just there um they well they would tell us not to write about it it's not like it's not like the principal will censor it because the principal will just censor it even though we've written it we usually have to tell the advisor what we're writing before we can even write it or even publish it okay they have the advisor would have that ability to do that yes just yet okay jerome did you have something to say jerome you had something oh oh we know about the the laws of the yeah okay but i mean you know even adults know the laws and they break it sometimes so yeah i'm just wondering you know to make sure that uh that oh we haven't don't get violent uh yeah thank you thank you
