          Bill  
          Summary:  This bill amends the Open Enrollment Act by replacing  
          the Academic Performance Index with new eligibility criteria for  
          identifying low-achieving schools.  Specifically, the bill  
          provides that a low-achieving school is either a school that is  
          identified by the Superintendent of Public Instruction or the  
          State Board of Education for comprehensive support and  
          improvement, as specified, or a school that is receiving  
          mandatory assistance by the California Collaborative for  
          Educational Excellence.

            Legislative Analyst's Office (LAO) for existing staff to  
            produce an evaluation and recommendations for the program.   
            (General Fund)

           Minor costs to California Department of Education (CDE) to  
            enter into a memorandum of understanding with the LAO  
            regarding data sharing. (General Fund)


          Committee  
          Amendments: Require only the LAO to conduct the program  
          evaluation report and delay the date it is required to be  
          submitted to the Legislature.  Require CDE to submit by a  
          certain date, the data necessary for the LAO to complete the  
          report.
