   AB 767, Santiago. Community colleges: emergency preparedness
standards.
   Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under
the administration of the Board of Governors of the California
Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary
education in this state. Under existing law, the board of governors
appoints a chief executive officer, known as the Chancellor of the
California Community Colleges.
   Existing law requires the Office of the Chancellor of the

   This bill would require the chancellor's office to review and

including an active shooter response plan, as specified.
