Summary

Existing law establishes the State Department of Education, under the administration of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and assigns to the department numerous duties relating to the governance and funding of public elementary and secondary education in this state. Existing law establishes the California Workforce Development Board, and assigns to the board the responsibility for assisting the Governor in the development, oversight, and continuous improvement of California's workforce investment system and the alignment of the education and workforce investment systems to the needs of the 21st century economy and workforce. This bill would require the department and the California Workforce Development Board, in consultation with the California-Mexico Border Relations Council, to jointly form a study group of subject matter experts in specified fields to analyze unique challenges and opportunities arising from the presence of a large binational student population and workforce on both sides of the California-Mexico border. The bill would require the department and the California Workforce Development Board to issue a report to the Legislature, by July 1, 2023, on recommendations and findings of the study group and a preliminary plan, resource needs, and scoping options based on available resources for increasing access to, and the quality of, educational opportunities for binational students and workers, and developing and providing a comprehensive suite of career services and job training opportunities for binational students and workers.
