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.
