Gavin Newsom's budget proposal that would make this the first state in the nation to extend safety-net health care coverage to all residents, regardless of immigration status. But with a $97 billion surplus projected in the governor's May budget revision, they say it's time for state leaders to go even further to strengthen the social safety net for unauthorized immigrants, many of whom have played an essential role as frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fact that we have such a huge surplus is because we have widening inequality, because the rich did so well,\" said Alexis Castro, government affairs director at the California Immigrant Policy Center, referring to the fact that much of the surplus revenue comes from income taxes on high earnings and capital gains from investments. \"Can we use that to invest in those that were most impacted, that are at the front lines, that are really the backbone of our communities?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with an unprecedented budget surplus, plans to further expand social programs will have to contend with a state spending limit approved by voters in 1979, along with uncertainty about where the state economy is headed and resistance from fiscal conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2016, California has expanded Medi-Cal to undocumented children and, beginning this month, adults over age 50. Newsom's plan, first announced in January, would cover the last remaining group: roughly 700,000 undocumented adults, age 26 to 49, at a cost of $800 million next year and $2.7 billion in future years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the governor's Medi-Cal expansion is enacted, though, it won't take effect until 2024.

Gavin Newsom's budget proposal that would make this the first state in the nation to extend safety-net health care coverage to all residents, regardless of immigration status. But with a $97 billion surplus projected in the governor's May budget revision, they say it's time for state leaders to go even further to strengthen the social safety net for unauthorized immigrants, many of whom have played an essential role as frontline workers during the COVID-19 pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\"The fact that we have such a huge surplus is because we have widening inequality, because the rich did so well,\" said Alexis Castro, government affairs director at the California Immigrant Policy Center, referring to the fact that much of the surplus revenue comes from income taxes on high earnings and capital gains from investments. \"Can we use that to invest in those that were most impacted, that are at the front lines, that are really the backbone of our communities?\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But even with an unprecedented budget surplus, plans to further expand social programs will have to contend with a state spending limit approved by voters in 1979, along with uncertainty about where the state economy is headed and resistance from fiscal conservatives.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Since 2016, California has expanded Medi-Cal to undocumented children and, beginning this month, adults over age 50. Newsom's plan, first announced in January, would cover the last remaining group: roughly 700,000 undocumented adults, age 26 to 49, at a cost of $800 million next year and $2.7 billion in future years.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the governor's Medi-Cal expansion is enacted, though, it won't take effect until 2024.

But all of those are unfunded promises.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>None of that money will be available unless lawmakers and the governor agree next year to fund them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $515 million to create a debt-free grant for lower- and middle-income University of California and California State University students? The budget deal for the 2021-22 fiscal year dedicates not one dollar to it but will next year, “subject to an available and sufficient appropriation.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The $149 million to fund 15,000 extra seats in 2022-23 for California residents at the UC and CSU? Not a dollar either.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>For now, the budget language says the Legislature has “the intent” to provide funds next year, a departure from recent practice when the budget act provided money upfront to grow enrollment later.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Legislative staffers explain that their revenue projections show the state will be more cash-rich next year than this year. The move puts pressure on the systems to begin hiring more faculty without money in the bank ahead of an expected mandate to enroll more students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds different than what Assemblymember Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat and chair of the Assembly’s budget committee, said yesterday during a hearing on the budget deal: “We also hear people that we need to increase access to higher education. So we are increasing slots for them for 15,000 more students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s getting money now\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The historic budget, the largest ever produced by Sacramento, does inject real money for the fiscal year starting July 1 that will immediately benefit hundreds of thousands of students — but on a smaller scale than what lawmakers’ budget summaries say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a dramatic change from just a year ago, when the state was staring down a $54 billion budget hole and imposed cuts and IOUs of nearly $2.6 billion on California’s public universities and community colleges. All those dollars are being restored and then some in this budget deal, with the UC and CSU getting increases in ongoing funding of 5% — about $173 million and $186 million, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that excludes other one-time investments, like more than $400 million to revamp Cal State Humboldt as the state’s third polytechnic university with the goal of beefing up California’s capacity to teach the sciences. Or the $2 billion over three years to build affordable student housing and other campus buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of that money will fund efforts at the UC and CSU to improve their graduation rates. This has the dual effect of getting students to a degree faster and opening slots for new students — though not as many as the proposed enrollment growth plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all the money for the UC still falls short of how much of its core funding for student academics used to flow from state support. Just over a decade ago, 60% came from the state’s general fund. Lately, it’s closer to 40%, meaning the system has relied more on tuition hikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c4661e74-01b9-4fc0-81a2-1f3a7617df21?src=embed\" title=\"Declining state support for the UC\" width=\"625\" height=\"1054\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cal Grants coming to twice as many community college students\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state’s marquee financial aid program, Cal Grant, will this year expand guaranteed eligibility to at least 133,000 more community college students, doubling how many community college students currently receive it. That number can grow in future years because the award is an entitlement. It’s the most significant update in two decades to arguably the nation’s most generous state financial aid program.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s because the restrictions on which community college students can get the guaranteed money are waived, including those a year or less from graduating high school and those under a certain age.

The move puts pressure on the systems to begin hiring more faculty without money in the bank ahead of an expected mandate to enroll more students.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That sounds different than what Assemblymember Phil Ting, a San Francisco Democrat and chair of the Assembly’s budget committee, said yesterday during a hearing on the budget deal: “We also hear people that we need to increase access to higher education. So we are increasing slots for them for 15,000 more students.”\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>What’s getting money now\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The historic budget, the largest ever produced by Sacramento, does inject real money for the fiscal year starting July 1 that will immediately benefit hundreds of thousands of students — but on a smaller scale than what lawmakers’ budget summaries say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s a dramatic change from just a year ago, when the state was staring down a $54 billion budget hole and imposed cuts and IOUs of nearly $2.6 billion on California’s public universities and community colleges. All those dollars are being restored and then some in this budget deal, with the UC and CSU getting increases in ongoing funding of 5% — about $173 million and $186 million, respectively.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And that excludes other one-time investments, like more than $400 million to revamp Cal State Humboldt as the state’s third polytechnic university with the goal of beefing up California’s capacity to teach the sciences. Or the $2 billion over three years to build affordable student housing and other campus buildings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>A lot of that money will fund efforts at the UC and CSU to improve their graduation rates. This has the dual effect of getting students to a degree faster and opening slots for new students — though not as many as the proposed enrollment growth plans.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But all the money for the UC still falls short of how much of its core funding for student academics used to flow from state support. Just over a decade ago, 60% came from the state’s general fund. Lately, it’s closer to 40%, meaning the system has relied more on tuition hikes.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe src=\"https://e.infogram.com/c4661e74-01b9-4fc0-81a2-1f3a7617df21?src=embed\" title=\"Declining state support for the UC\" width=\"625\" height=\"1054\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border:none;\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Cal Grants coming to twice as many community college students\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The state’s marquee financial aid program, Cal Grant, will this year expand guaranteed eligibility to at least 133,000 more community college students, doubling how many community college students currently receive it.

Bill Dodd, a Democrat who represents the Napa and Sonoma Valley wine country, which have been ravaged by wildfires in recent years, said he was “not pleased” that the prevention work decreased, and was initially “taken aback” by the last-minute budget trim. Dodd said he suspects Cal Fire doesn’t have the capacity to ramp up its prevention work.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You’ve seen what Cal Fire has been able to get out the door this year, whether it’s prescribed fire or any number of other things,” he said. “And it’s not as quick as we’d like to have it done.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Republican lawmakers seized on the investigation and \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/AsmVinceFong/status/1407831117101617157?s=20\">demanded\u003c/a> oversight hearings. Assemblyman James Gallagher, who represents the fire-ravaged city of Paradise, offered amendments to the state budget to shore up wildfire prevention funding, which were quickly squelched by the Democratic majority.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Gallagher said he was unaware that Newsom pushed back to 2025 the state’s goal of treating 500,000 acres annually.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s another example of how the Newsom administration isn’t treating this issue with the urgency that’s needed,” Gallagher said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Newsom staffers and lawmakers say that even though they’ve reduced the wildfire mitigation budget this year, they plan to add an extra half a billion dollars to next year’s budget. By then, they argue, Cal Fire will be better positioned to implement those projects as the state continues to build toward the 500,000-acre goal.\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}}],"link":"/news/11879965/newsom-retreats-on-1-billion-wildfire-prevention-plan-ahead-of-biden-meeting","authors":["byline_news_11879965"],"categories":["news_8","news_13","news_356"],"tags":["news_6383","news_20341","news_28199","news_16","news_70","news_29634"],"featImg":"news_11879974","label":"news"},"news_11879696":{"type":"posts","id":"news_11879696","meta":{"index":"posts_1591205157","site":"news","id":"11879696","score":null,"sort":[1624988628000]},"guestAuthors":[],"slug":"special-ed-and-high-needs-students-get-windfall-in-budget-deal","title":"Special Ed and High-Needs Students Get Windfall in Budget Deal","publishDate":1624988628,"format":"standard","headTitle":"KQED News","labelTerm":{},"content":"\u003cp>California schools are poised to get a record-breaking amount of money in the state budget to help students recover from 15 months of pandemic-related chaos, virtual classrooms, hybrid schedules and ever-shifting guidance.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Districts with lots of high-needs students, including those with disabilities, stand to get even more money.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Educators will use some of the extra funding to hire counselors who are better suited to address the mental health impacts of the pandemic.
