          SUMMARY:


          This bill is the annual education omnibus bill that makes  
          technical and non-controversial revisions to the Education Code.  
           Specifically, this bill:









                                                                     SB 436  


                                                                    Page  2






          1)Corrects references to non-existent code sections and makes  
            technical changes to provisions related to school district  
            reorganization.  


          2)Clarifies that the three schoolsite representatives of the  
            K-12 High Speed Network advisory board serve a renewable  
            two-year term, consistent with the terms of the other advisory  
            board members.  


          3)Removes obsolete references and eliminates various reporting  
            requirements and program evaluations that no longer exist.


          FISCAL EFFECT:


          Negligible state fiscal impact.


          COMMENTS:  This bill is the annual K-12 education clean-up bill  
          that makes various non-controversial revisions to the Education  
          Code.  The majority of the provisions were identified by the  
          California Department of Education and make technical  
          corrections to the statute, such as correcting a section  
          citation or striking obsolete language.  By tradition, objection  
          to any provision by the agency affected, the Department of  
          Finance, or any of the four legislative caucuses prevents that  
          provision from being included in this bill.
