SB 517, as introduced, Wyland. Student Opportunity and Access Program.
Existing law establishes the Student Opportunity and Access Program administered by the Student Aid Commission to apportion funds on a progress payment schedule for the support of projects designed to increase the accessibility of postsecondary educational opportunities for specified elementary and secondary school pupils and community college students. Existing law requires allocation of funds appropriated for this program to be limited to those consortia meeting requirements of the program that will provide equal matching resources from existing or budgeted increases in federal, state, local, and private funds.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that provision.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
