Reinvestment in Public Education Needed Now

By Michael Watkins, County Superintendent of Schools

O

n two separate occasions over the past few years I have had an opportunity to visit a number of schools in China.

On each visit I came away impressed on many fronts. However, the one area that left an indelible imprint on me was the way in which they prepared, supported and respected the role of the classroom teacher.

In the debate on how to improve student achievement one truism stands out: attracting and retaining wellis accepted as the essential prerequisite to raising educational standards.

According to a recent study conducted by the University of Sussex which examined public attitudes of teaching as a career based on professional status, pay, trust and desirability of a teaching career, China had the highest levels of public respect out of the 21 countries surveyed.

On my visits it showed how teachers were treated by students, parents and political leaders who have invested heavily in public

education. Only a few decades ago China was an agrarian, poverty- stricken and illiterate country therefore their economic growth can be directly attributed to the realization that a highly educated society is the best way to move forward.

The most profound observations and impressions that I came away with from my visits to China was that their leaders were focused, organized and determined to improve education in order to raise their people out of poverty (1 in 4 children attending California schools lives in poverty — Highest in the U.S.) and produce a highly skilled population to compete in a world economy.

That leads me to California’s teacher shortage.

For much of the twentieth century, the United States led the world in high school and higher education participation and although our graduations rates are rising, the rest of the world is catching up.

After decades of leading the world in higher education, the United States now

ranks ninth in the proportion of young adults in college, and has fallen to 16th in degree attainment suggesting that while graduation rates are improving, the drop-out rate remains far too high.

Today’s Higher Education has Special Needs

A

Institute, teacher workforce trends have worsened in the past year “with especially severe consequences in special education, bilingual education.”

With the demand for high-tech jobs showing no signs of abating, and the rise in the growing number of students in need of special education services (autism alone) and bilingual educational support, one can easily see that this is indeed a crisis, a crisis of our own making.

be repaid for many years.

A beginning teacher’s yearly salary is $45,000 - about the same as a year’s tuition for obtaining a teaching credential at many colleges. All the while enrollment in teacher preparation colleges remains near historic lows.

Investing in Our State’s Future or California to live up to its reputation as a beacon of futuristic thinking, a reinvestment in public education is needed now.

It can take shape in any number of ways.

I would start by creating policies that adequately compensate teachers as the professionals that they are; develop

And for the most part they are right because the college debt that one would incur on a path to a teaching credential is

Sparing the Air in the Valley T

With those facts, and with an abundance of wood burning stoves as the only source of heat Bruce McPherson in many former “summer cabins,” the Valley is subjected to violating national air standards for particulate matter (i.e. black carbon emissions).

they worked feverishly on Thursday of the last week of the 2017 session to act on hundreds of bills which needed to be addressed before the Friday September 15 midnight deadline.

Only this time, I was on the “outside looking in” as to what the vote count will be on a bill, not as the voting state senator that I was while representing the 15th District from 1996-2004. Today, as a Santa Cruz County Supervisor I have an equal concern of what the state might do “for us” as well as what it might do “to us” in local government.

Some things never change. The hallways were jammed with lobbyists looking at television screens to see which legislation passed or failed, or had not received the necessary votes for passage – in turn being placed “on call” in the author’s hopes that he/she could “work” some of his/ her colleagues to come on board to support “the most important bill of the year.”

There was a noticeable, exciting buzz as speeches/pleas were given, pro and con on a variety of legislative proposals, from health care and parks to education and public safety. They had to wind through one or more of the 21 Senate standing committees, as well as well as some of the Assem-

bly’s 32 committees to get this far.

It’s a long and tedious process when you consider that more than 2,000 pieces of legislation are introduced each year, some dying or becoming two-year bills, with roughly 800 or 900 being signed by the governor. And that bill package includes the ever-present practice of last minute amendments that hardly allow much time for in-depth debate.

Thank heavens for the 72-hour rule that says those changes must be in print for at least three days to become actionable. cally because of several issues that, County’s local authority. AB 1250 would have all but ended county contracting for services; SB 649 would limit local authority over siting wireless telecom equipment and there were also various pieces of legislation that would have limited the expansion of local electric service known as Community Choice Aggregation (CCA).

It amounts to a public subsidy for large corporations, allowing them to have preemptive rights to use street light and other poles — to place refrigeratorsized boxes to accommodate their technology.

It would force cities and counties to rent space for small cells and other communications equipment on public property at rates far below fair market value while stripping local jurisdictions of their current oversight.
