- House: Assembly
- Latest Version Date: 2022-08-26
The California Urban Forestry Act of 1978 has a purpose of, among other things, promoting the use of urban forest resources for purposes of increasing integrated projects with multiple benefits in urban communities. The act requires the Department of Forestry and Fire Protection to implement a program in urban forestry to encourage better tree management and planting in urban areas to increase integrated, multiple-benefit projects by assisting urban areas with innovative solutions to problems, as provided. The act authorizes the Director of Forestry and Fire Protection to make grants to provide assistance of 25% to 90% of costs for projects, as provided.
This bill would require funds allocated to the department for the explicit purposes of supporting school greening, as defined, to be administered to provide grants to eligible local educational agencies, as defined, nonprofit organizations, cities, counties, and districts, including special districts, through a competitive grant process, as provided. The bill would require, on or before July 1, 2023, the department to develop the competitive grant process, including guidelines and selection criteria. The bill would require the department, before developing the grant process, to hold at least 2 public hearings to gather public input on the grant process development. The bill would, upon appropriation in the annual Budget Act, require funding for these purposes to be transferred to the School Greening and Resiliency Fund, which the bill would establish in the State Treasury.

Under existing law, if the governing board of a school district, by majority vote, makes a specific finding that an emergency exists and this finding is included in the board minutes, the governing board may contract with a private licensed security agency to ensure the safety of specified personnel, pupils, and property. Existing law permits these contracts when the personnel normally required to provide that service fail to do so because of an emergency, including, but not limited to, war, epidemic, fire, flood, or work stoppage, as specified. Existing law also permits these contracts when such an emergency necessitates additional security services.This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to this provision.Under existing law, if the governing board of a school district, by majority vote, makes a specific finding that an emergency exists and this finding is included in the board minutes, the governing board may contract with a private licensed security agency to ensure the safety of specified personnel, pupils, and property.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to this provision.
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(a)The latest California Climate Change Assessment projects hotter, longer, and more frequent heat events. Extreme heat is responsible for more deaths than all other extreme weather events, and disproportionately impacts communities of color, persons with disabilities, seniors, and low-income communities.
(b)California has experienced record-setting temperatures in the last two years, demonstrating the urgency of addressing climate-intensified extreme heat impacts. In 2020, temperatures in the County of Los Angeles reached as high as 121 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest temperature ever recorded there, causing an increase of 10 times the normal number of emergency room visits. Additionally, in 2021, the Coachella Valley had its hottest year ever, with temperatures reaching 123 degrees Fahrenheit.
(c)Children, especially those that attend schools in urban areas built with heat-retaining materials and that are ill-equipped to shelter students from extreme heat, are at heightened risk of suffering heat-related illnesses, poor health outcomes, and a reduction in their ability to learn, as excessive heat interrupts outdoor activity and exercise.
(d)Trees and green spaces help mediate temperatures in urban areas. A 2015 urban forestry study in ScienceDirect examined tree canopy coverage in a particular area and found that an increase in coverage from 10 percent to 25 percent resulted in an average daytime cooling benefit of up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit in residential neighborhoods at the local scale.
(e)Several studies that have examined the relationship of green space in school playgrounds to desired educational outcomes consistently show a positive relationship between natural playscapes and enhanced physical activity, motor development, creative play behavior, and environmental learning.
SEC. 2.Section 4799.12.1.5 is added to the Public Resources Code, immediately following Section 4799.12.1, to read:4799.12.1.5.(a)For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply:

(I)A charter school that has received a grant from the Charter Schools Facilities Program established pursuant to Section 17078.52 of the Education Code shall be eligible for a grant pursuant to this section.
(e)Not less than 80 percent of funds made available for grants pursuant to this section shall be designated for in-need education facilities if sufficient applications for in-need education facilities are received and qualify for the grants.
(f)Before developing the grant process pursuant to subdivision (c), the department shall hold at least two public hearings to gather public input on the grant process development.

(a)The latest California Climate Change Assessment projects hotter, longer, and more frequent heat events. Extreme heat is responsible for more deaths than all other extreme weather events, and disproportionately impacts communities of color, persons with disabilities, seniors, and low-income communities.
(b)California has experienced record-setting temperatures in the last two years, demonstrating the urgency of addressing climate-intensified extreme heat impacts. In 2020, temperatures in the County of Los Angeles reached as high as 121 degrees Fahrenheit, the highest temperature ever recorded there, causing an increase of 10 times the normal number of emergency room visits. Additionally, in 2021, the Coachella Valley had its hottest year ever, with temperatures reaching 123 degrees Fahrenheit.
(c)Children, especially those that attend schools in urban areas built with heat-retaining materials and that are ill-equipped to shelter students from extreme heat, are at heightened risk of suffering heat-related illnesses, poor health outcomes, and a reduction in their ability to learn, as excessive heat interrupts outdoor activity and exercise.
(d)Trees and green spaces help mediate temperatures in urban areas. A 2015 urban forestry study in ScienceDirect examined tree canopy coverage in a particular area and found that an increase in coverage from 10 percent to 25 percent resulted in an average daytime cooling benefit of up to 35 degrees Fahrenheit in residential neighborhoods at the local scale.
(e)Several studies that have examined the relationship of green space in school playgrounds to desired educational outcomes consistently show a positive relationship between natural playscapes and enhanced physical activity, motor development, creative play behavior, and environmental learning.
