   An act relating to supplemental education services.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 296, as introduced, Solorio. Supplemental education services.
   Existing federal law defines "supplemental education services" as
tutoring and other supplemental academic enrichment services that are
provided, in addition to instruction provided during the day and are
high quality, research-based, and specifically designed to increase
academic achievement, as specified. Existing state law requires the
governing board of each school district to offer, and authorizes a
charter school to offer, various supplemental instructional programs,
including programs for pupils enrolled in grades 7 to 12, inclusive,
who do not demonstrate sufficient progress toward passing the high
school exit examination.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would modify these supplemental education services.

   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  It is the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would modify the supplemental education services, as
defined in subsection (e) of Section 1116 of the Elementary and
Secondary Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. Section 6301 et. seq.),
provided by school districts and charter schools.
