	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1050, as introduced, De León. Elementary and secondary
education: achievement gap: teachers: courses of study.

pupils for high school graduation and career entry.
   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation that would close the achievement gap, ensure an adequate
supply of well-trained teachers, expand access to quality support
services, and ensure access for all pupils to a rich course of study
in both academic and career-related subjects.
