education technology.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 99, Zettel.  Education technology:  grants.
   Existing law, the Digital High School Education Technology Grant
Act of 1997, provides one-time installation grants and ongoing
technology support and staff training grants to school districts and
county offices of education that operate high schools.
   This bill would authorize a high school established after October
6, 2000, that would have been eligible for an annual technology
support and staff training grant, to receive that grant and would
require a high school to provide a technology plan to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction before receiving a grant.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 52262 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   52262.  (a) Commencing in the second fiscal year following the
year in which a high school receives a technology installation grant,
and upon certification of completion of the installation project,
the superintendent shall allocate to each high school an annual
technology support and staff training grant.  This grant shall
provide up to forty-five dollars ($45) per pupil enrolled, in grades
9 to 12, inclusive, as of the October census in each fiscal year.
However, no school shall receive more total funding than is matched
locally, except when the match requirement has been modified or
waived pursuant to Section 52254.  Funding for the purposes of this
section shall be contingent on an appropriation made in the annual
Budget Act or an appropriation contained in another measure, and, if
funds are insufficient to provide full funding, shall be
proportionately reduced.
   (b) (1) A high school established after October 6, 2000, that
would have been eligible for the program established pursuant to this
chapter except that it was established after October 6, 2000, may
receive a technology support and staff training grant pursuant to
subdivision (a).
   (2) Before receiving funding under this subdivision, a high school
shall provide one of the following technology plans to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction.
   (A) A digital high school site technology plan that complies with
the requirements of Section 52256.
   (B) A school district technology plan that is developed pursuant
to Section 51871.5 and meets the planning guidelines established in
the document "Education Technology Planning:  A Guide for School
Districts," approved by the State Board of Education in January 2001,
or any successor document approved by the State Board of Education.

   (C) A district or school technology plan that complies with the
requirements of the federal E-rate program.
   (3) The Superintendent of Public Instruction may review plans
submitted pursuant to paragraph (2), recommend modifications, and
withhold funding until a satisfactory plan is submitted.
   (c) Grant funds and matching funds shall be spent to maintain and
upgrade systems, to support pupil and faculty use of education
technology, and to provide ongoing staff training in education
technology.
