Blog Topic 14

Blog Topic 14: To what extent does the governor interact with your cp? Does he/she have authority to make an impact on your CP's operations?

The governor has no direct communication with my CP. The only interaction would be is that the Governor would sign all state documents regarding the school and the after school program.

Yes the Governor could choose to change regualtions regarding school, however the voters decided to fund the program. The Governor could make changes for my CP.

Blog Topic 13: Is your CP constitutionally mandated? Does it seek any kind of protection relating to its existence/scope, or any guarantee relating to its interests under state constitution? 

My CP is mandated by the city of San Bruno. A set of laws and regulations must be followed. For example when I wanted to ask parents surveys about attendance, my CP had to write a letter to the parents to inform them of my research paper and why they would be asked to take a quick survey.

It is protected by the law, as long as my CP follows the rules and regulations she is protected under the city and state constitutions. MY CP does not seek any protection, this is after school program that is run by the city of San Bruno.

Blog Topic 12

Blog Topic 12: Does your CP have authority to raise funds through taxation? If so, what factors or processes are involved. Discuss the ways in which your CP is associated with taxing, spending, or both.

No my CP does not have the authority to raise funds through taxation. The ASES program is funded by the state government through a school grant. Within various types of grants, my CP is allowed to manage the spending. The ASES program is funded by the government. The hours for this program is always after school until 6 pm. If a parent is late to pick up their child, each minute late the parent must may a dollar a minute. That is the only way my CP would return or add more money back into the program. My CP is not associated with taxing, as long as she does her job in terms of making sure attendance and other criteria is met, the funding for program will not be in jeopardy. The grant gives the school a budget to spend on teachers who run the program and on games, snacks, and other class room needs.
