BILL NUMBER:  SB 369
  VETOED	DATE: 10/09/2015




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 369 without my signature.

This bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
add an indicator to the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement
Data System to identify students of military families.

While California is strongly committed to supporting military
families, I am not convinced how collecting state level data serves a
useful purpose. Local school districts already identify students of
military families and apply directly for federal grants based on
local need.

This ever-relentless effort to collect and store more and more
personal data in state computers should give us pause.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
