                        FEBRUARY 26, 1999

   An act to add Section 69613.15 to the Education  Code, relating to
state special schools.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1187, Rod Pacheco.  State special schools.
   Existing law, the Assumption Program of Loans for Education,
authorizes the Student Aid Commission to issue up to 2,000
conditional warrants for loan assumption to applicants who, among
other things, agree to teach in a public school in the state for at
least 3 consecutive academic years after obtaining a teaching
credential in subject areas that are designated as current or
projected shortage areas by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

   This bill would require that the list of shortage areas designated
by the superintendent include the state special schools as a
category separate from special education.
   This bill would require the Department of Personnel Administration
to conduct and complete a survey of the salaries paid to public
school teachers who teach pupils with learning disabilities similar
to those of pupils taught in the state special schools.


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


  SECTION 1.  Section 69613.15 is added to the Education Code,
immediately following Section 69613.1, to read:
   69613.15.  (a) Commencing on January 1, 2000, the list of shortage
areas furnished pursuant to Section 69613.1 shall include the state
special schools as a category separate from special education.
   (b) By May 7, 2000, the Department of Personnel Administration
shall conduct and complete a survey of the salaries paid to public
school teachers employed by school districts located in the state who
teach pupils with learning disabilities similar to those of pupils
taught in the state special schools.
