INTRODUCED BY   Senators Ducheny and Florez

                        FEBRUARY 14, 2007

   An act to amend  Sections 99201 and   Section

	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 232, as amended, Ducheny. Instructional strategies: subject
matter projects.
   Existing law provides for the establishment and maintenance of 6
subject matter projects by the Regents of the University of
California with the approval of the Concurrence Committee. Existing
law provides that these subject matter projects are to create
opportunities for researchers, higher education faculty, and
elementary and secondary school faculty to work together to identify
exemplary teaching practices, examine and develop research on
learning, knowledge, and educational materials, and to provide
support to teachers to develop and enhance content knowledge and
pedagogical skills. Under existing law, these projects become
inoperative on June 30, 2007, and are repealed on January 1, 2008.
   This bill would  add The California Arts Project, the
California Foreign Language Project, and the California Physical
Education-Health Project to the subject matter projects authorized
under existing law. The bill would  extend the 
inoperative  date  of the projects   on
which those projects become inoperative  to June 30, 2014, and
the repeal date to January 1, 2015, thus extending the existence of
these  programs   projects  by 7 years.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
