	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1137, Strom-Martin.   Week of the School Administrator.
   Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district
to employ an individual in an administrative position if that
individual meets certain criteria including, among other things, that
he or she holds a valid teaching credential.
   This bill would designate the first full week of March of each
year as "Week of the Administrator" and would encourage schools,
school districts, and county superintendents of schools to observe
the week with public recognition of the contribution that school
administrators make to successful pupil achievement.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 44015.1 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   44015.1.  In observance of the importance of educational
leadership at the school, school district, and county levels, the
first full week in the month of March of each year shall be
designated as "Week of the School Administrator."  Schools, school
districts, and county superintendents of schools are encouraged to
observe the week with public recognition of the contribution that
school administrators make to successful pupil achievement.
