| 618 | Lisa Norton | Medicaid funds have provided much needed equipment and services to children with special needs. Please preserve the Medicaid reimbursement to schools. |
| 619 | Joseph Tucker | The services funded by these monies are vital to well being of our most underpriviledged and fragile youth. |
| 620 | Faith Jones RN MS | Our district has 13 severe handicapped classrooms. These children are very expensive to assist, especially with hiring specialized medical aides (we have over 80 med. aides) and LVN's that are needed to provide care for our students. The LVN's are needed for their assessment skills and have saved children's lives at school. This fund reimburses our district. It needs to remain intact. Many of these students would not be coming to school without their help. |
| 621 | Connie Miller | Thank you for your time |
| 622 | Nancy Deutsch, LCSW | How be care for those in most need is a reflection of us as a nation. Do not cut services to children in need. |

| 626 | Carolee Villegas | This funding is vital to address the barriers to learning that exist with our school population today. |

| 631 | Jeannetta Altenburg | MAA funding is necessary to assist low income families to access and use appropriate medical and related services. These services allow the school to efficiently do our job of educating children. Cutting this funding would hurt our youngest and poorest children. |

| 637 | Christia Ogawa | MAA funds 3 credentialed school nurses in the Pajaro Valley Unified School District in Watsonville, CA. Now our ratio of nurse to student is 1:2400 (over 3 times the recommended ratio). Without these funds, our ratio would be 1:3400. |

| 641 | Glenn Miller | With the budget being cut at both State and Federal levels Medcaid funding has become all the more important. Our students are the scapegoats for lack of planning/funding beyond their control. |

| 644 | Jo Cybulski | These funds are important for services to continue. schools can not continue to pick up the high costs of providing these services. |
| 645 | James A. Irwin | It is my belief that these Medicaid dollars to schools are so critical to so many students. It seems to be one targeted program wherein the support is being provided to those who really need it, in a uniform manner.
As a special education director in a poverty-based district this funding means so much as monies being returned to us in exchange for the services we are already providing. Plus, in many ways in this case, I feel that we are on an equal playing field with other more prosperous districts. |

| 649 | Brittney Homann | Medicaid funds enable small school districts to do great things in the lives of students with disabilities. These educational benefits are far-reaching, even into the community as the students enter the work force prepared to contribute to society. It would be a great detriment to students and communities to lose this valuabnle funding. |
