Summary
(1) 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 requires the Board of Governors to appoint a chief executive officer, to be known as the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges. Existing law establishes community college districts, administered by a governing board, throughout the state, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction to students at the community college campuses maintained by the districts. This bill would establish the Accelerating Student Success College Initiative of 2010 and authorize the governing board of a community college district to petition the chancellor for designation as an accelerating student success college. The bill would authorize the chancellor to designate up to 5 community colleges as Accelerating Student Success Colleges. The bill would require a governing board to submit a strategic plan that identifies specified strategies and authorize the governing board to request relief from specified provisions of law when petitioning for designation as an accelerating student success college. The bill would provide a specified method for computing the units of full-time equivalent student for apportionment purposes for credit courses offered by accelerating student success colleges and would allow for an additional allocation in specified circumstances. The bill would require the governing board of an accelerating student success college to annually submit a report to specified persons that includes a description of specified progress. The bill would require an accelerating student success college that has been granted relief from specified provisions of law to prepare and submit a report to the chancellor within 5 years of being granted the relief. By requiring community college districts to perform specified functions to become an accelerating student success college, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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 these statutory provisions.
