Original Committee Reference: ED.
SUMMARY : Makes technical and non-controversial revisions to the
Education Code. Specifically, this bill :
1)Specifies that an action to lapse a school district is also
subject to plans and recommendations of the county committee
on school district reorganization.
2)Authorizes the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
reassume, either directly or through an appointed
administrator, all the legal rights, duties, and powers of the
governing board of a school district if the district violates
specified improvement plans during the period of the trustee's
appointment.
3)Specifies that for the purpose of the provisions establishing
a process for repaying an apportionment significant audit
exception or to pay a penalty arising from an audit exception,
"local educational agency" includes charter schools.
4)Specifies that if a county office of education (COE) receives
a qualified certification from the governing board of a school
district when it determines a negative certification should
have been filed, the county superintendent of schools shall
change the certification, as appropriate.
5)Corrects an obsolete citation in the provision requiring an
adjustment of revenue limits for the 1995-96 fiscal year and
fiscal years thereafter by the amount of increased or
decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees'
Retirement System resulting from the enactment of Chapter 330
of the Statues of 1982.
6)Corrects a cross reference in the provisions establishing the
AB 2662

Annual Report on Dropouts in California.
7)Aligns the calculation and effective date of the annual change
to Parental Liability for Willful Pupil Misconduct with the
calculation and effective date of the annual change to
Contract Bid Limit under the Public Contract Code.
8)Deletes the requirement that a school has not been awarded
federal startup funds to initiate a school breakfast program
or a summer food service program as eligibility for limited
financial assistance to encourage the startup of School
Breakfast Programs and expansion into all qualified schools.
9)Includes COEs in the authority to approve supplemental
instructional materials other than those approved by the State
Board of Education.
10)Makes a conforming change in the Revenue and Taxation Code
regarding basic aid funding.
11)Makes non-substantive, technical corrections.
The Senate amendments add provisions that do the following:
1)Update obsolete language to reflect the change from the
Curriculum Development and Supplemental Materials Commission
to the Instructional Quality Commission (Section 1).
2)Update the obsolete term "mentally retarded" with "pupils with
intellectual disabilities" (Section 12).
3)Extend from 2012-13 to 2014-15 in which payments from the
California State Lottery Education Fund includes the same
amount of average daily attendance for classes for adults and
regional occupational centers as made in the 2007-08 fiscal
year, consistent with categorical flexibility provisions.
Finds and declares that this Section furthers the purposes of
the California State Lottery Act of 1984 (Sections 13 and 15).
4)Avoid chaptering out problems with AB 2279 (Swanson) and SB
1497 (Negrete McLeod) (Sections 4.5 and 9.5) of this
legislative session.
AS PASSED BY THE ASSEMBLY , this bill was substantially similar
to the version passed by the Senate.

FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Senate Appropriations
Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.
COMMENTS : This bill is the annual K-12 education clean-up bill
that makes various non-controversial revisions to the Education
Code. The majority of the changes were identified by the
California Department of Education and make technical
corrections to the statute, such as correcting a section
citation, grammatical corrections, or striking obsolete
language. By tradition, objection to any provision by the
agency affected, the Department of Finance, or any of the four
legislative caucuses prevent that provision from being included
in this bill.
