AB 600, as introduced, Alejo. State Board of Education: powers and duties
Existing law establishes the State Board of Education to adopt policies, and to establish rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the laws of the state, to govern the public elementary and secondary schools of the state. Existing law requires the board to issue a subpoena to compel the attendance of a witness before the board, or a board member, in the same manner as a court in this state. Existing law requires the president of the board to cause the attendance of a witness to testify before the board, or a board member, where the testimony of the witness is material to a matter pending before the board. The board is authorized to make a reasonable allowance for this purpose, not exceeding the fee of a witness in a civil case, except under specified circumstances. The allowance is required to be paid out of the appropriation for the expense of the board.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.
