VBA embracing organizational transformation to enhance customer experience - VA News
HCS made marketing and outreach a priority by partnering with local and underserved communities and using a combination of targeted job announcements in key cities, as well as open and continuous announcements nationwide to help build a large pool of qualified applicants. This included partnering with VA Careers to promote current vacancies and to tap into their robust following across all social media platforms, allowing their followers to learn more about a rewarding career at VBA and share it within their networks.
When it came to the PACT Act, VBA adapted this growth mindset to implement best practices and develop new strategies to streamline hiring and improve retention. This included the development of the Federal Surge Hiring Model, which led to historic growth in VBA’s workforce with approximately 14,000 employees hired, a 57.2% increase that brought the total number of VBA employees to 33,400. VBA was praised by the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for achieving its best Time-to-Hire, which tracks how long it takes for agencies to fill a vacancy. This innovative approach to hiring and training has ensured VBA is on track to meet its FY 2024 goal — building our workforce to 36,000 employees.
Enhancing the customer experience
Customer-centricity is the heart of an exceptional customer experience. But how do you transform an organization to prioritize customer service across every level?
Our approach required a unique balance between improving organizational performance, driving innovation and change, and sustaining improvements over time. VBA identified three key drivers of success in transforming human capital delivery with a focus on becoming a customer-centric organization.
1. Focus on the customer
The first step in organizational change involves embracing the core tenets of customer service—listening to and understanding customer needs to provide a personalized experience along every step of their journey.
Across VBA, we developed strategic leadership philosophies that outlined the way we support and engage our customers, from ensuring alignment with VA strategic goals to establishing organizational core values built on the four pillars of customer service: consistency, agility, accountability, and responsiveness.

 AB 80, which chaptered on April 29, 2021, provides modified conformity to the federal provision under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021, which allows taxpayers to deduct eligible expenses paid for with covered loan amounts, except for an ineligible entity. If an ineligible entity deducted eligible expenses for federal purposes, then an adjustment is needed on Schedule CA (540NR), line 3, column C (Additions).
Revenue Procedure 2021-20 allows taxpayers to make an election to report the eligible expense deductions related to a PPP loan on a timely filed original 2021 tax return including extensions. If a taxpayer makes an election for federal purposes, California will follow the federal treatment for California tax purposes.
Per AB 80, California law conforms to the federal law regarding the treatment for an emergency Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) grant under the federal CARES Act or a targeted EIDL advance under the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021.

Increasing Transparency of County Office of Education Spending 
Although the two components are intended to cover costs of alternative education programs and district support services, respectively, COEs generally have flexibility to use the their LCFF funding from either part of the formula for any purpose. (The one exception is related to supplemental and concentration grant funds which we discuss in greater detail later in this section.)

Alternative Education Grant

Eligible student population

Students who are (1) under the authority of the juvenile justice system, (2) probation referred, (3) on probation, or (4) mandatorily expelled.

Base funding

$16,395 per student.a

Supplemental funding 

Provides 35 percent of the base rate for each student that is an English learner, low income, or foster youth.b

Concentration funding

Each English learner, low‑income student, and foster youth above 50 percent of enrollment generates an additional 17.5 percent of the base rate for juvenile court schools and 35 percent for county community schools.b

Minimum grantsc

$200,000 for COEs that operate at least one court school and $200,000 for COEs that operate at least one county community school.

Operations Grant

Base funding of $872,151 per COE.

Plus $347,167 per school district in the county.

Plus $69 to $109 per student in the county (less populous counties receive higher per‑student rates).

aAs measured by average daily attendance.
bFor juvenile court schools, all students are considered low income.
cMinimum grants technically considered add‑ons separate from the alternative education grant.

Note: COEs also receive funding from add‑ons associated with the Targeted Instructional Improvement Block Grant and Home‑to‑School Transportation.

COEs Also Receive “Hold Harmless” Funding Through LCFF. When the state transitioned to LCFF, it included two provisions intended to hold harmless COEs that otherwise would have received less funding under the new formula. The first provision guarantees that each COE will continue to receive at least as much total funding as it received from revenue limits and categorical programs in 2012‑13.

Increase in Required Reserve Deposits. In certain circumstances, the Constitution requires the state to deposit some of the available Proposition 98 funding into a statewide reserve account for schools and community colleges. Under the adopted budget plan, the state deposits a total of $7.5 billion into this account across the 2021‑22 through 2023‑24 period—an increase of $1.3 billion compared with the estimates made in June 2022. The higher required deposits are primarily due to revenue estimates from the administration that have capital gains accounting for a larger share of General Fund revenue over the period. 
Provides Large COLA to School and Community College Districts. In addition to the required reserve deposits, the budget package has several ongoing and one‑time increases. The largest ongoing augmentation is $4.8 billion to provide an 8.22 percent COLA for K‑12 and community college programs. In K‑12, the budget also includes $300 million ongoing targeted to low‑income schools with relatively high rates of student mobility within the school year, as well as $250 million one time for literacy coaches and reading specialists. For community colleges, the budget also includes $154 million ongoing for an apportionments funding protection known as “stability,” which cushions local college budgets from enrollment and other declines. 
Budget Has Notable K‑14 Structural Gap. The 2023‑24 Proposition 98 spending level is not sufficient to fully fund all ongoing spending authorized in the budget package. To cover these costs, the budget package uses $1.9 billion in one‑time, prior‑year funding to fund the primary school and community college funding formulas ($1.6 billion for schools and $290 million for California Community Colleges).
Increasing Transparency of County Office of Education Spending 
Typically, COEs taking on additional state level and regional roles are selected through a competitive application process and receive additional funding for these new activities. 
Funding 
LCFF Is Primary Source of State Funding for COEs. In crafting LCFF in 2013, the state consolidated most state funding for COEs and replaced most of the former funding formulas with a new, two‑part formula. As Figure 2 shows, the alternative education grant provides funding based on the average daily attendance of students enrolled in juvenile court and county community schools. For funding purposes, the state credits COEs with their average daily attendance in the current year, prior year, or the average of three prior years, whichever is higher. Beginning in 2023‑24, COEs also began receiving minimum grants if they operated at least one juvenile court school and at least one county community school. (These minimum grants are technically considered add‑ons, separate from the alternative education grant.) The operations grant provides funding based on the number of school districts and number of students in the county. COEs also receive add‑on funds associated with two categorical programs—the Targeted Instructional Improvement Block Grant and the Home‑to‑School Transportation program—that existed prior to LCFF. COEs that received funding from these programs in 2012‑13 continue to receive that same amount of funding in addition to what the LCFF provides each year. (Home‑to‑School Transportation began receiving an annual COLA in 2022‑23.) Each COE’s target funding level is the sum of the alternative grant, operations grant, and add‑ons. Like the school district LCFF, the COE LCFF is funded by a combination of state General Fund and local property tax revenue, with the proportion of each fund source varying by county. Although the two components are intended to cover costs of alternative education programs and district support services, respectively, COEs generally have flexibility to use the their LCFF funding from either part of the formula for any purpose. (The one exception is related to supplemental and concentration grant funds which we discuss in greater detail later in this section.)

SENATOR WIENER’S WORK ON LGBTQ ISSUES | Senator Scott Wiener
Outside of HIV work, in 2020, he passed SB 932, which mandates that all California health care providers collect sexual orientation and gender identity data on COVID-19 and all other reportable communicable diseases to ensure that the LGBTQ community is not left behind by our health care system. He's helped secure more than $18 million in state funds for LGBTQ health initiatives, particularly those involving LGB women.
Senator Wiener's work advancing LGBTQ civil rights has garnered national attention. He authored and passed SB 239, to decriminalize HIV. SB 239 brings California statutes up to date with the current understanding of HIV prevention, treatment, and transmission, in order to reduce stigma around HIV and improve public health outcomes. He also ended discriminatory laws that required judges to put LGBTQ youth on the sex offender registry, and extended judges the same discretion for LGBTQ youth they had for their straight offenders. He successfully repealed a discriminatory loitering law that disproportionatley targeted trans women and allowed law enforcement to arrest someone based solely on their appearence.
In 2018, Senator Wiener authored the Dignity and Opportunity Act to provide greater protection to transgender individuals in our criminal justice system. Knowing that 40% of California’s homeless youth identify as LGBTQ, Senator Wiener also authored the Youth Homelessness Act of 2018 to help address California’s homeless youth epidemic. In 2020, Senator Wiener passed SB 132, which requires prisons to house transgender incarcerated individuals according to where they’re safest (for example, by gender identity).
Before Senator Wiener’s election to the Senate, as a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, he authored legislation ensuring transgender individuals were covered by San Francisco’s universal health care program, and requiring more attention to the needs of LGBTQ seniors.
Before he was elected to the Board of Supervisors, Senator Wiener co-chaired the Alice B. Toklas LGBTQ Democratic Club, BALIF (the Bay Area’s LGBTQ bar association), and the San Francisco LGBTQ Community Center. He also served on the national Board of Directors of the Human Rights Campaign.

Weather Outlook Solid, GOES-T on Target for 4:38 p.m. EST Launch 

The weather outlook for today’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s (NOAA) Geostationary Operational Environmental Satellite-T (GOES-T) satellite launch from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station remains positive. Weather officials with the Space Force Station’s 45th Weather Squadron predict an 80% chance of favorable conditions for liftoff from Space Launch Complex 41.
The launch, which is managed by NASA’s Launch Services Program, based at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, is targeted for 4:38 p.m. EST. There is a two-hour launch window.
“Liftoff winds are going to be our primary concern with a smaller concern coming from some of those passing cumulus clouds,” said Arlena Moses, launch weather officer with the 45th Weather Squadron.
