pupil instruction.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1663, as amended, Dickinson. Pupil instruction: California
State Summer School for Mathematics and Science.
   Existing law establishes the California State Summer School for
Mathematics and Science to provide academic development to enable
pupils with demonstrated academic excellence in mathematics and
science to receive intensive educational enrichment in these subjects
and an opportunity for pupils who wish to study mathematics or
science or to pursue careers that require a high degree of skills in
and knowledge of mathematics and science. Existing law requests the
Regents of the University of California to operate the summer school.

   Existing law requests the regents to set a tuition fee for the
summer school within a range that corresponds to actual program
costs, up to but not exceeding $1,000  per session  in the
year 2000, and to increase this fee by an amount of up to 5% each
year thereafter.
   This bill would instead request the regents to  increase
the tuition fee for the summer school by an amount of up to 10% each
year   set a tuition fee within a range that corresponds
to actual program costs of up to but not exceeding $2,810 per
session in the year 2012  . The bill would also make technical,
nonsubstantive revisions in this provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 8669 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   8669.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that at least 50
percent, but not more than 75 percent, of the actual costs of the
California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science for each
fiscal year would be financed by state funds beginning in the
1999-2000 fiscal year. The balance of the operating costs would be
financed with fees and private support.
   (b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), the Regents of the
University of California are requested to set a tuition fee within a
range that corresponds to actual program costs, up to but not
exceeding  one thousand dollars ($1,000)   two
thousand eight hundred ten dollars ($2,810)  per session in the
year  2000   2012  , and may increase this
fee by an amount up to  10   5  percent
each year thereafter. It is the intent of the Legislature that the
University of California award full or partial scholarships on the
basis of need and that pupils who are unable to pay all or part of
the fee may petition the University of California for a fee reduction
or waiver to ensure that a qualified applicant is not denied
admission solely because of his or her inability to pay part or all
of the fee. Any public announcement regarding the summer school
program should include notification that need-based scholarships are
available  ,  and information regarding the
procedure for applying for a scholarship award.
   (c) For pupils who are not California residents, it is the intent
of the Legislature that the Regents of the University of California
set a tuition fee that is not less than the total actual costs to the
summer school of services per pupil.
   (d) The foundation authorized to be established pursuant to
subdivision (d) of Section 8664 may raise funds from the private
sector that may be used by the summer school for general program
operating costs, scholarships, program augmentation, public
relations, recruitment activity, or special projects. Private support
may include, but not necessarily be limited to, direct grants to the
summer school from private corporations or foundations, individual
contributions, in-kind contributions, or fundraising benefits
conducted by any entity.
