SUMMARY : Revises provisions of the Career Technical Education
Pathways (CTEP) program and extends the program's sunset date
from January 1, 2013, to June 30, 2015. Specifically, this
bill :
1)Requires the chancellor of the California Community Colleges
(CCCs) and the Superintendent of Public Instruction (SPI) to
assist economic and workforce regional development centers and
consortia, CCCs, middle schools, high schools, and regional
occupational centers and programs (ROC/Ps) to improve linkages
and CTE pathways between high schools and CCCs to accomplish
specified goals that increase middle and high school pupil
success and access to postsecondary education, as specified.
2)Requires the SPI and the CCC Chancellor to jointly administer
contracts and competitive grants for programs and initiatives
that demonstrate a plan for collaboration among regional
institutions/entities, including, but not limited to school

districts, public postsecondary educational institutions,
ROC/Ps, local workforce investment boards (LWIBs), and
business/industry, as specified:
a) Requires first priority for contracts and grants to be
given to applicants that can demonstrate comprehensive
regional collaboration to create new pathways or course
sequences, as specified; and, where practicable,
demonstrate their ability to leverage additional financial
and in-kind public and private resources to support their
efforts.
b) Requires second priority for contracts and grants to be
given to applicants that meet certain specified
characteristics, such as displaying a statewide benefit
through dissemination of courses, best practices or other
means.
3)Requires all contract or grant awardees to demonstrate
outcome-based data pertinent to the type of program and
individuals they serve, as specified.
4)Requires the SPI and the CCC Chancellor to: a) develop
standardized procedures/tools to collect outcome based data;
and, b) submit a report to the governor and the Legislature on
or before March 1 of each year on the CTEP program, as
specified.
5)Requires the SPI and CCC Chancellor to provide an
implementation and expenditure plan to the Legislature and the
Department of Finance at least 30 days before taking action to
execute the expenditure plan.
6)Authorizes a CCC district to enroll a high school pupil, who
is not a resident of the district, in a CTEP program that is
developed and implemented by the district, as specified.
7)Extends the program's sunset date from January 1, 2013, to
June 30, 2015.
FISCAL EFFECT : Costs include General Fund/Proposition 98 costs,
likely between $20 million and $38 million, to continue funding
the CTEP program. This measure requires the program to only be
operative in fiscal years (FYs) where funds are appropriated for
this purpose. The 2012 Budget Act allocates $38 million for
SB 1070

this program. In the 2013-14 FY, the CTEP program is scheduled
to receive $20 million.
Per the California Teachers Association, et al. v.
Schwarzenegger settlement, CCCs are required to receive a total
of $292 million over a seven-year period for this program and
one-time costs. The original allocations were between the
2007-08 FY and the 2013-14 FY. However, due to the state's
fiscal crisis, the amount of funding allocated to CCCs under
this agreement fluctuated between $18 and $38 million. As such,
the state added an extra year to the timeline to ensure the
entire $292 million obligation to CCCs is met.
COMMENTS : In 2005, the Career Technical Education Pathways
Initiative (Initiative) was established by SB 70 (Scott),
Chapter 352, Statutes of 2005, to provide resources for the
support of CTE programs at middle schools, high schools, ROC/Ps,
and CCCs. The Initiative sunsets effective January 1, 2013.
According to the author, the Initiative has served nearly
750,000 California middle and high school pupils and college
students through a variety of programs and services designed to
increase their success in college and career. The Initiative,
administered by the CCC Chancellor and the SPI, has focused on
enhanced articulation and collaboration. Some of the programs
supported through the Initiative include high school California
Partnership Academies, CCC Career Advancement Academies, and the
University of California Curriculum Integration Institute.
