BILL NUMBER:  AB 97
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2010




??













To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 97 without my signature.

Given California's participation in the Common Core initiative and
the anticipated reauthorization of the federal Elementary and
Secondary Education Act, this bill is premature.  This bill could
create an unnecessary, duplicative process in the development of
content standards and in the integration of those standards into the
state's assessment system.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Arnold Schwarzenegger
