AB 2069, as introduced, Medina. Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act of 2012.
Existing law, the Seymour-Campbell Student Success Act of 2012, provides that the purpose of the act is to increase California community college student access and success by providing effective core matriculation services of orientation, assessment and placement, counseling, and other education planning services, and academic interventions. The act specifies the responsibilities of students and institutions in entering into the matriculation process. The act requires participating community college districts to, with the advice of the chancellor, establish and maintain institutional research to evaluate the effectiveness of the program and other programs designed to facilitate students’ completion of educational goals and courses of study.
This bill would require the metrics for that research to include the percentage of part-time faculty that are required to hold office hours per full-time equivalent students.
To the extent that the bill would impose new duties on community college districts, it would constitute a state-mandated local program.
The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.
This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.
