BILL NUMBER:  AB 943
  VETOED	DATE: 09/28/2015




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 943 without my signature.

This bill explicitly directs the California Collaborative for
Educational Excellence to contract with a fiscal entity that has a
"record of success" in working with charter schools to improve pupil
outcomes.

The Collaborative is already directed under current law to contract
with individuals with expertise, experience and a record of success.
I am confident that the Collaborative, which began meeting in
February and is composed of five appointees including two appointees
from the Legislature, can handle it. Moreover, this bill strikes me
as a bit of micromanagement that might well constrain the
Collaborative in the exercise of its responsibilities.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
