Summary

Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges. Existing law authorizes the establishment of community college districts under the administration of community college governing boards, and authorizes these districts to provide instruction at community college campuses throughout the state. Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to determine which pupils would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational work. In addition, existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district to authorize these pupils, with parental permission, to attend community college as special part-time students to undertake one or more courses of instruction at the community college level, in order to provide these eligible pupils with educational enrichment opportunities. This bill instead would authorize school districts to enter into partnerships with community college districts to provide secondary school pupils who have exhausted all opportunities to enroll in an equivalent course at the high school of attendance, adult education program, continuation school, regional occupational center or program, or any other program offered by the local governing board with the opportunity to benefit from advanced scholastic, career-technical, or other coursework at a campus of the California Community Colleges. The bill would, on or before January 1, 2011, and each year thereafter, require the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to report to the Department of Finance and the Legislature the number of pupils who enroll in community college pursuant to these provisions, the courses these pupils enroll in, and the number of these pupils who receive a passing grade. Existing law requires the principal of a school to determine whether a pupil meets various criteria before recommending the pupil for community college summer session, and prohibits the principal from recommending for community college summer session attendance more than 5% of the total number of pupils from any particular grade level who completed that grade immediately prior to the time of recommendation, except as specified. This bill would delete those provisions. The bill would prohibit a community college district from receiving an allowance or apportionment for an instructional activity for which a school district has been, or will be, paid. The bill would also make conforming changes.
