	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1431, as introduced, Mitchell. Pupil curriculum: general
instructional programs.
   Existing law sets standards and guidelines for educational
programs for the public schools of the state, including establishing
required courses of study for specific grades, and defines various
terms for purposes of those provisions, including the term "goal."
   This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the definition of
"goal."
   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 51020 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   51020.  "Goal" means a statement of broad direction or intent
 which   that  is general and timeless and
is not concerned with a particular achievement within a specified
time period.
