BILL NUMBER:  AB 288
  VETOED	DATE: 10/08/2011




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 288 without my signature.

Requiring every community college to follow a uniform process for
evaluating a student expulsion taken by another district adds
unnecessary burdens and costs that the state will have to reimburse.

I invite Chancellor Scott and the California Community Colleges Board
of Governors to work with local districts to craft a more flexible
and cost-effective approach to enable districts to share critical
information about student expulsions.

Sincerely,


Edmund G. Brown Jr.
