California Legislature—2013–14 Regular Session

Assembly Bill No. 1281

Introduced by Assembly Member Morrell

February 22, 2013

An act to amend Section 52324 of the Education Code, relating to career technical education.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1281, as introduced, Morrell. Regional occupational centers and programs: attendance computation.

Existing law authorizes the county superintendent of schools of each county, with the consent of the State Board of Education, to establish and maintain, or with one or more counties to establish and maintain, a regional occupational center, or regional occupational program, in the county to provide education and training in career technical courses. Existing law also authorizes the governing board of any school district maintaining high schools in the county, with the consent of the state board and the county superintendent of schools, to cooperate in the establishment and maintenance of a regional occupational center or program, except as specified. For purposes of funding apportionments, existing law specifies the computation for determining units of average daily attendance in the regional occupational centers or regional occupational programs of a county for a fiscal year.

This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision regarding the attendance computation.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
