  1. Committee chair1:37:43

     Chair Committee. Thank you. Alright, uh, with that we'll move to the next item, uh, house Bill 1 63. Grow your Own Educator pipeline program amendments. Uh, rep Representative Wilcox.

  2. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:37:57

     Thank you. Hopefully we don't need as much debate on this one. Um, hopefully everyone's familiar with the Grow Your Own Program. We're a few years into that right now. I'm a super fan of this. Um, I don't know if Luke's behind me. Sorry, superintendent either. Yeah. Everybody please recognize his beautiful Royal Blue suit in honor of his favorite team. The, the BYU Cougars on the record. I appreciate him wearing that for me today. I'm still not seeing him. I think he's planning on Yeah, I think that, uh, you're being invited to join, join the Good Representative. Unless, unless that's visible to everyone on the camera. I don't think it has the same effect, uh, superintendent. But as part of my presentation, actually, I'm running this bill because I got a phone call from, from Superintendent Rassmuson and seems super reasonable. All we're really doing is, um, adding, uh, those who serve our special needs, uh, children, uh, special needs to, uh, this qualification. So, but I want to, I want him to tell the story about why, um, yeah. I just want to, You guys hear me? There we go. Uh, thank you for supporting Grow Your Own. First of all. It's been a huge, yeah, it's been a huge thing for, for us in education. Um, it's really removed a lot of the deed to solely re um, rely on universities for our teaching candidates. It's allowed us to develop and grow our own candidates within our school district. And we've been able to see great success in my district and I know many others in, and we're starting to see the fruits of those labors really pay off. Um, where across the board we are full. Um, we are fully staffed. We have, uh, and many of those now are grow your own educators who are thriving in our system. And so this simply just allows an area of need that is really concerning special education. It's still a challenge to find special educators. It allows us to use this same program to help, um, special education teachers get through school. So, um, just appreciate what you've done in this regard. Thank you.

  3. Committee chair1:39:53

     Thank you. And just for the record, uh, superintendent Rasmusson, will you introduce yourself in the Oh Yeah. District that you represent?

  4. Luke Rasmussen, Superintendent, Ogden School District1:39:57

     Yep. Luke Rasmussen. I'm the superintendent for Ogden City School District.

  5. Committee chair1:40:00

     Okay. Thank you very much. Does that conclude your presentation? It does. Thank you. Alright, thank you. So to the committee for clarifying questions, Representative Moss

  6. Rep. Michael J. Petersen1:40:12

     Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, representative, I know there are programs, um, that allow people to get licenses that already have college degrees. Um, one is called, it was called Alternate Route to licensure. Sure. Now I think they call it the Apple program. A-P-P-E-L. I know, um, a person who's getting a special ed degree who previously was in another profession and already graduated from college. Is this different? I mean, it's obviously different, but, but is it just one more opportunity? Is this a statewide or how, how do those things, uh,

  7. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:40:48

     Compare? Yeah, that's good question. Um, Mr. Chair, it's, uh, it is, it is a little bit different, but it's really just the same scholarship program. We're just allowing it to apply to a special education license. Where previously we were, uh, we weren't allowed to do that. And we have a massive need in this particular area. We've seen it work, it's proven now. This isn't like a risky thing we're doing. Um, and you know, I will say after visiting, I know Representative Thompson has talked, talked recently to me about, uh, his visits to schools when I've made those, those are some of the most, uh, both heartbreaking and heart, uh, warming are the ones that get you the most excited. When you see a really good experience with, uh, with this, our disabled children. And, uh, finding those people, oftentimes they come from the part-timers that come in that just want to help. And we figure out, actually, would you consider going back to school? 'cause you should probably be doing this full time and these kids need you more than, more than that. And, uh, we've seen that work and grow your own. I think it can work here.

  8. Rep. Karen M. Peterson1:41:50

     Could I ask a follow up? Yes, please. Go ahead. So again, I'm not certain whether this means, so if someone's a paraprofessional, but they haven't gotten a college degree, they could get a license without going back to school and taking two or three years. 'cause the person I know already had a degree and was in another profession, then switched professions. And now he's getting, doing this to get a license. But he doesn't have to get a degree.

  9. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:42:16

     To answer it more simply, yes, all of those things still apply. Okay. Yeah, we haven't changed any of those programs. We're literally just expanding Grow your own to allow the special educator license.

  10. Rep. Carol S. Moss1:42:25

      Very good. Yes. Thank you.

  11. Committee chair1:42:27

      Thank you for your clarifying question. Representative Moss. We'll go to Representative MacPherson.

  12. Rep. Matt MacPherson1:42:34

      Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, quick question. I, I know there's not a fiscal note on this. We're not expanding the funding for the program. No, just the, the footprint as far as What can do with the funding. We can Go. So I, I guess the question is just really do we, do we have stats right now on how this will, I don't wanna use the term dilute, but right now, you know, how how many teachers are, are, um, are eligible versus those grants that are giving out that we, we, we do give out and do we know how this will affect that overall? Again, it's a, it's a matter of policy, but I'm just curious

  13. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:43:06

      For data. Sure. Yeah. I don't, I don't know that we have that level of data, right. I mean, we have anecdotal stuff like obviously we have in Ogden, we've seen the other one work. But, you know, in talking to the school board, I don't, I don't believe we have that level of data.

  14. Rep. Matt MacPherson1:43:18

      Okay. That would be great for me to be able to tell you.

  15. Committee chair1:43:21

      Thank you. All right. Thank you representative. Uh, we'll go to Representative Thompson.

  16. Rep. Jason E. Thompson1:43:27

      Thank you, Mr. Chair. Um, thank you for, uh, for, for running this. Um, I, uh, um, I guess since this is a time for questions, I guess my question for, for the sponsor would be, um, you know, as you've, as, as you've gone to schools and have you talked with, as you've talked with teachers, um, have, are you feeling an increased burden and increased need within special education? I think that's, uh hmm. I, I don't think that's unique to special education. Um, increased need from a staffing perspective. Yes, that's true. Um, but I think you, you mentioned increased burden and need, like the training requirements all Yeah. There's a lot of, there's a lot right now that I would say, and honestly, I don't know how much of that is Wow. Is a reflection of just the current environment that we're all in with the political world and everything else, or, you know, I, I don't really know. I can't tell you how, you know, how much of that is, um, related to, to training or anything else. That might be a better question for, for the superintendent, I guess. Do you wanna take a shot at Luke? So when you say burden, can you kinda help me clarify that? Yeah, I, um, I'm asking a little bit of a leading question because I already have an opinion that I can't wait to share when the time's appropriate. But, um, um, how are, how are your, how are your special ed teachers, how do they feel on, um, on a regular basis? Do they feel compared to, to maybe other teachers? Do they feel burdened? Do they feel tired? Do they feel, uh, emotionally exhausted because of some of the extreme behaviors and some of the things that they have to deal with?

  17. Luke Rasmussen, Superintendent, Ogden School District1:45:09

      Yeah, I think special education is a tremendously hard, hard filled, I mean, I think for the reasons that you stated, they also have a huge paperwork burden. Um, there's a lot, there's a lot that they have to do, which is why I believe we still have a shortage, you know, in that area. Yeah. And you would you call it like it is, that's, that's a fact. It's hard to hire special education teachers and keep them. Um, and, and it's, it's a challenging field and I think this will help us identify some of those candidates that can be successful, that are already working in our schools, maybe in special education as a staff assistant and help them get their license. And I, and that's what we've seen is when we've been able to have teachers that, that have grown up in our system, maybe even Uintah, our schools become familiar with, our schools are successful working in our schools. This helps them stay. And that's what we've been, we've been really excited about. And that's exactly for your reasons that you stated why I think this is a really good thing to add special education into the bill Representative. This particular specialty is probably more important than a lot of the other others that we apply to. So yeah. For all of those reasons, Does that conclude your questions?

  18. Rep. Jason E. Thompson1:46:15

      That does. Thank you, Mr. All right.

  19. Committee chair1:46:16

      Thank you. We'll go to Representative Lyon.

  20. Rep. Lyon (not on roster)1:46:19

      Can I, can I just add a little bit to that conversation? It's really not a question, just, just to help some folks understand. So this is my wife's space. Um, she, she does mild, moderate, right. And severe. Those folks burn out a lot faster. Right. It's a very, very difficult thing. This would've been huge for a couple of Paradise in our school. Sure. Um, that we're trying to get to this level because we do have a shortage. So this is awesome. I mean, this is, this is absolutely needed and it would help significantly with what, what you're asking about.

  21. Committee chair1:46:53

      Alright. Thank you Representative Eliason. Um, appreciate the committee's questions at this point. Um, we're gonna move to public comment and, uh, if there are members of the public that are here to speak to this issue. Do you have anyone online? Alright. Seeing no public comment, uh, we'll move back to the Committee for Action. Representative Thompson. Oh, I've got lots of lights coming on. Representative

  22. Rep. Jason E. Thompson1:47:19

      Thompson. Yeah. I'd like to make a motion that we, uh, favorably pass out a committee HB 1 63.

  23. Committee chair1:47:26

      All right. I have a, um, motion to recommend Favorably House Bill 1 63, grow your Own Educator Pipeline program amendments. Would you like to speak to that motion?

  24. Rep. Jason E. Thompson1:47:35

      I would like to, um, you know, my time, uh, uh, in, in a large number of schools, um, I, um, my heart breaks when I get to some of our special ed classrooms. It's also warmed at the same time. I mean, you look at the compassion that these teachers have for, for these kids. Um, but you also look at the number of extreme behaviors and you look at the things that they deal with on a daily basis. We can't keep, um, in some of the districts that I visited, we can't keep temporary Paradise in with a special education, um, students because they get burned out and they don't come back. And I think that we would be, um, that, that we'd be very shortsighted not to extend this opportunity for teachers seeking to be special education teachers. Um, and, and, and the the cost to other students and other teachers is great when we don't have appropriate staff. Um, and, and we don't appropriately take care of, of, um, our special education students and students with extreme behaviors. That's where you're watching, um, five other teachers in the school having to rush to one crisis moment at the disruption of all the other students. I support this bill. I think it's a great bill.

  25. Committee chair1:48:50

      Representative Wilcox.

  26. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:48:51

      I'm just frustrated that I'm not the one who ran it.

  27. Committee chair1:48:55

      Thank you, Representative Thompson to the sponsor. Don't wave. I'll leave that one there. All right. Thank you. Let it Hang. Um, I have no other lights back to you to, uh, some I'll wave. All right. Motion before us is to recommend Favorably House Bill 1 63, grow your Own Educator pipeline program amendments. Uh, all in favor, please say Aye. Aye. Aye. Any opposed? That passes unanimously. Thank you to the members of the committee. Thank you, Representative Wilcox. Thanks.

  28. Committee chair1:49:24

      Um, at this time I'm gonna turn over the, uh, chair to Representative Defay and, uh, she's gonna move you through the next agenda item.

  1. Reading Clerk46:02

     Madam Reading Clerk House Bill 1 63, grow your own Educator pipeline program amendments by Representative Wilcox. This bill was heard in education with the vote of 13 0 2

  2. Speaker (presiding)46:15

     Representative Wilcox.

  3. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox46:17

     Thank you Mr. Speaker representatives. The Grow Your Own program is, uh, frankly been a wild success for the past three, four years, uh, since we implemented it here. What it does for those who unfamiliar, it allows our schools to identify paraprofessionals, aides, those who are already working in our schools, and, uh, help to, to facilitate them who they believe would be great educators, great teachers, and to help them get those endorsements, uh, to move 'em to the front of the line. That's working. That's the great news. This one right here, because it's working, um, we have identified an area in public education where we need some more help, and that's with our paraprofessionals in our, our disabled community. Um, all this bill does is, uh, allow those funds that are in that. We're not expanding that at all, but it allows those scholarships to be provided for the paraprofessionals and, uh, the educators who are seeking, uh, license and special education where we have the greatest need in our schools at the moment. I'm happy to answer any questions, but that's, that's the function of the bill.

  4. Speaker (presiding)47:26

     Thank you Representative Wilcox discussion to the bill. Representative Arthur.

  5. Rep. John Arthur47:35

     Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just wanted to rise very quickly in support of this bill. Um, I'll tell you right now, from my own personal experience, finding qualified special education teachers who love working with students, um, can be a challenge at times. And I see this as a, as a fantastic solution, leveraging the people who are already in our schools and have shown that this is what they wanna do with their professional lives, giving them the opportunity to go ahead and become great teachers in our schools. So I encourage all colleagues to go and support this bill.

  6. Speaker (presiding)48:09

     Thank you, representative Arthur. Further discussion to the bill, back to Representative Wilcox for summation.

  7. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox48:15

  1. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:33:19

     Senator. I mean, Representative Wilcox. I have to be careful calling you Senator, given that you live in my Senate district. Okay. To, uh, HB 1 63, grow your own Educator Pipeline Program Amendments Representative Wilcox. Go ahead.

  2. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:33:38

     Thank you. Thank you, Senator. Uh, chair Johnson. I, I appreciate it. That was pretty funny. It made me laugh out loud if you didn't hear that on the record, on the way up. Um, but this one, uh, I think we're fairly familiar. We've been running this program now for, you know, four or five years, and it's, frankly, it's been a, a wild success story on the education side. Uh, it's been kind of beautiful to watch. I've been able to see, uh, up close in our own districts, um, paraprofessionals and, and aides who, uh, we thought always, you know, a person should just be one of our teachers. They're awesome. We love to, to see that and to help them. This, this scholarship program essentially has allowed, uh, many of those people to in fact, make that transition. I'm aware of, uh, several in my wife's school, uh, where she teaches that have gone through that program. I'm aware of, uh, several others throughout the district that that has, uh, worked. And that's why we're here today. Um, we're also facing a, a unique shortage. Um, the previous conversation, uh, that you just had with Senator Escamilla really kind of reminded me of why we're doing what we are in this bill. And that is, uh, we've seen, uh, a lot of, it's very difficult to get the right teachers, um, for special education, more so than a lot of the other areas of need. And we have a shortage because of that. And that can be, uh, I guess that could speak to the importance of having the, the right training, the right understanding. But for whatever reason, uh, when we built the Grow Your Own Educator program, uh, we didn't include special education endorsements. And that's the request, um, came out of, uh, Ogden School District, and he's not able to join me here this morning. But, uh, superintendent Rasmussen called me, uh, several months ago and, and asked for, asked for some help there. And we, you know, going back and forth, we just needed to make a small change. That's all this bill does. Um, no new appropriations just adds a specific high need category, um, to this, uh, scholarship program, existing grant program, so that we can recruit and retain, uh, the very best of our paraprofessionals and transform them into the teachers that we so desperately need. That's it.

  3. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:36:02

     Thank you. Does that conclude your presentation?

  4. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:36:04

     Yeah, mostly. Yeah. Go ahead.

  5. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:36:07

     We're, uh, we're gonna come back to the committee for clarifying questions. Senator Hinkins, you've got your light on. Uh,

  6. Sen. David P. Hinkins1:36:13

     Yeah. Thank you. Uh, Mr. Chairman, I would just like to say thanks for this because I represent San Juan County, which has half Native American population, and, and it's very hard to keep, uh, teachers down in that area, and so be able to have, and there are special education needs there. And so half the school districts are strictly Native Americans. And so to be able to allow those individuals to get degrees, to be able to teach special ed and stuff like that, it's, uh, uh, really, uh, important to my district. And I really appreciate this. So it's, it'll help a lot. Thanks. Yeah.

  7. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:36:47

     Thank you. Uh, any other clarifying questions or comments? Seeing none, we're gonna go to members of the audience. Did you, did you have one? Senator Rebe, I, I missed you, Mr. Chair.

  8. Sen. Kathleen A. Riebe1:37:02

     Um, thank you so much for including these people into this, um, program. Uh, as a teacher, as I just mentioned, I love my job. I have never wanted to do anything else in my life besides be in classrooms and schools. It is a privilege and an honor to spend my day with the kids in our community. And I, I miss it tremendously when I'm not in the classroom. Um, uh, I, I'm kind of gonna use this as a pitch. If anyone's leaving the listening, the millions and millions of people out there, education and teaching is the best job you can ever do. 99% of the day, you are having a great, great time. The kids are fun. You, you, you can go anywhere in the world. You can go anywhere in the day. I mean, you can just have so much fun. But that, that 1% of the time, when we need a special ed teacher to really understand the needs of kids, it is so important. Yeah. It changes the whole school. When you have a caring individual that understands the needs of a person who's legally, um, you are legally obligated to provide that support. So it is so paramount that we have people that are trained, educated, and, um, dedicated to students with special ed needs. So thank you so much for running the bill.

  9. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:38:19

     Thank you. Seeing no other lights. I'm gonna come to members of public for a comment come forward. Uh, state your name for the record and tell us who you represent.

  10. Piper Riddle, Northeastern Utah Educational Services1:38:30

      Hi there, Piper Riddle, uh, executive director of Northeastern Utah Educational Services, one of four rural service centers in Utah. And I just wanna speak in favor of this bill. Uh, for rural schools, the Grow Your Own program is a critical element for staffing and, um, adding the, uh, special education element, um, will help us serve kids better, um, in rural Utah. Thank you.

  11. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:38:55

      Thank you. Come forward, state your name for the record, tell us who you're representing today.

  12. Lexi Cunningham, Utah School Superintendents Association1:39:09

      Good morning. Thank you, Mr. Chair. Lexi Cunningham, representing the Utah School Superintendent's Association and the Utah School Board's Association. I'm here to speak favorably of the, to this bill. This is a great opportunity for our LEAs. This will provide them more options to get good quality special education students, I mean teachers to work with our, our students. So we are in favor of this and urge the committee to vote. Yes.

  13. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:39:34

      Thank you. Any other comments? Seeing none, we will, uh, do, do we have any online? We're gonna come back to, uh, members of the Committee for Action.

  14. Sen. David P. Hinkins1:39:46

      Uh, Senator Hinkins. Thank You, Mr. Chairman. I would make a motion that we pass out house bill 1 63 with a favorable recommendation.

  15. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:39:53

      Okay. So the motion is to send out HB 1 63 with a favorable recommendation, uh, discussion of that motion. Seeing none, I'm gonna come back to Representative Wilcox.

  16. Rep. Ryan D. Wilcox1:40:06

      Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the motion. Um, uh, one of our best friends is a special ed teacher, uh, in the Ogden School District. And they have a hard time hanging on. It's really easy to get burned out as a teacher. We lose a lot the few first few years anyway. Um, so when we, I just want everybody to, that's hearing, and not that I'm pitching to do this, but I feel like a little bit like Senator Riebe. Um, when we find the ones that, uh, are sticking around, the volunteers that show up all the time, that actually, you know, have that in their heart, it's more important than ever that we convert them into the, to the solution. They're gonna be there anyway. They keep coming. So I'm, I'm honored to carry it, and I appreciate your support.

  17. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:40:53

      Thank you. Thank you very much. Uh, Senator Hinkins.

  18. Sen. David P. Hinkins1:40:56

      Ditto, uh, representative Wilcox's statement. Very good.

  19. Sen. John D. Johnson (committee chair, presiding)1:41:00
