AB 490, as introduced, Alejo. Community College Extended Opportunity Programs and Services.
Existing law establishes the Community College Extended Opportunity Programs and Services to encourage local community colleges to establish and implement programs directed to identifying those students affected by language, social, and economic handicaps, and to assist those students to achieve their educational objectives and goals, including, but not limited to, obtaining job skills, occupational certificates, or associate degrees, and transferring to 4-year institutions.
