AB 1636 — Cerritos Community College District: data sharing.

Summary

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes community college districts throughout the state, and authorizes them to provide instruction to students at community college campuses. One of these districts is the Cerritos Community College District. Existing law establishes the California College Promise, under the administration of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to provide funding, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to each community college meeting prescribed requirements. Existing law authorizes a community college to use that funding to waive some or all of the fees for 2 academic years for certain first-time students at the college. Existing law authorizes the governing board of a community college district to enter into a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership with the governing board of a school district, a county office of education, or the governing body of a charter school for the purpose of offering or expanding dual enrollment opportunities for pupils who may not already be college bound or who are underrepresented in higher education, as provided. This bill would require the Cerritos Community College District, in consultation with the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to develop, on or before April 1, 2027, a recommended prototype for compiling and transmitting personally identifiable student information to the chancellor's office to create a community college student record, and would require the district, in consultation with the chancellor's office and the State Department of Education, to include a proposed form or process to obtain informed consent as part of the recommended prototype, as specified. The bill would require the chancellor's office to review and approve, on or before September 1, 2027, the district's recommended prototype, as provided. The bill would authorize, upon approval of the recommended prototype by the chancellor's office, the governing board of the Cerritos Community College District to enter into a data-sharing agreement with the governing board of a school district, county office of education, or charter school that partners with the district under the California College Promise or the College and Career Access Pathways Program to exchange personally identifiable student information for the limited and express purpose of creating a community college student record for course enrollment at the California Community Colleges. The bill would require, on or before January 1, 2031, the district, in consultation with the chancellor's office, to submit a report to the Legislature on the effectiveness of the bill, as specified. By imposing additional duties on the Cerritos Community College District, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Cerritos Community College District. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
