school facilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2419, Wyland  School facilities: new construction and
modernization: career technical education facilities.
   Existing law, the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998,
requires the State Allocation Board to allocate to applicant school
districts, prescribed per-unhoused-pupil state funding for
construction and modernization of school facilities, including
hardship funding, and supplemental funding for site development and
acquisition. The existing act requires a school district, as part of
its application for large construction and modernization projects, to
certify, in consultation with the career technical education
advisory committee, that it has considered the need for vocational
and career technical facilities to adequately meet its program needs.

   This bill would require the career technical education advisory
committee of a school district, in conjunction with an application of
the district for funding of any construction or modernization
project, and as a condition of the district receiving funds for the
project, to provide written confirmation that the need for vocational
and career technical facilities is being adequately met within the
district, as specified.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 17070.955 is added to the Education Code,
immediately following Section 17070.95, to read:
   17070.955.  In conjunction with an application of a school
district for any construction or modernization project, and as a
condition of the district receiving funds for the project, the career
technical education advisory committee for the district shall
provide written confirmation that the need for vocational and career
technical facilities is being adequately met within the district
consistent with Section 51224, subdivision (b) of Section 51225.3,
subdivision (b) of Section 51228, and Section 52336.1.
