                        FEBRUARY 24, 2012

    An act to amend Section 32020 of the Education Code,
relating to school safety.   An act to add Section 51798

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2367, as amended, Bonilla.  School safety: gates to
school grounds.   Instructional school gardens: sale of
surplus produce.  
   Existing law establishes the Instructional School Gardens Program
for the promotion, creation, and support of instructional school
gardens. Under existing law, a school district, charter school, or
county office of education may apply to the Superintendent of Public
Instruction for funding for a 3-year grant in order to develop and
maintain an instructional school garden. Existing law limits the
grants to a maximum of $2,500 per schoolsite, except as provided.
 
   This bill would authorize a school district, charter school, or
county office of education to sell surplus produce grown in an
instructional school garden.  
   Existing law requires the governing board of a school district and
the governing authority of a private school that maintains any
building used for the instruction or housing of pupils on land
entirely enclosed by fences or walls to provide for the erection of
gates in those fences or walls that are of sufficient size to permit
the entrance of ambulances, police equipment, and firefighting
apparatus used by law enforcement and fire protection agencies,
subject to specified requirements.  
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions. 
   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.    Section 51798 is added to the 
 Education Code   , to read:  
   51798.  A school district, charter school, or county office of
education that is operating an instructional school garden program

of the program.  
  SECTION 1.    Section 32020 of the Education Code
is amended to read:
   32020.  The governing board of every school district, and the
governing authority of every private school, which maintains any

entirely enclosed (except for building walls) by fences or walls,
shall, through cooperation with the local law enforcement and fire
protection agencies having jurisdiction of the area, make provision
for the erection of gates in those fences or walls. The gates shall
be of sufficient size to permit the entrance of the ambulances,
police equipment, and firefighting apparatus used by the law
enforcement and fire protection agencies. There shall be no less than
one access gate and there shall be as many gates as needed to ensure
access to all major building and grounds areas. If the gates are to

with which the local law enforcement and fire protection agencies
may be equipped.
