BILL NUMBER: AB 230 VETOED DATE: 07/30/2001 7/30/01 To Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 230 without my signature. School district governing boards are given the responsibility to determine discipline for their classified employees and are held accountable for their actions. Districts need to retain a wide range of authority in order to fully implement the state's accountability objectives. Responsibilities should not be delegated to an outside arbitrator the local voters can not hold accountable. For these reasons, I am returning AB 230 without my signature. Sincerely, GRAY DAVIS
