	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2236, Leach.  Instructional materials: textbooks.
   Existing law requires governing boards of school districts to
adopt rules, regulations, and procedures for prescribing standards
for determining when instructional materials adopted by them and
either loaned by them or in their possession are obsolete, and if the
materials are usable or unusable for educational purposes.
   This bill would permit a school district to review instructional
materials to determine when those materials are obsolete pursuant to
the rules, regulations, and procedures adopted by its governing board
and report the results and staff recommendations at a public meeting
of the school district governing board.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 60501 is added to the Education Code, to read:

   60501.  A school district may review instructional materials to
determine when those materials are obsolete pursuant to the rules,
regulations, and procedures adopted pursuant to Section 60500 and may
report the results of its review and staff recommendations at a
public meeting of the school district governing board.
