   An act to amend Section 37254.1 of the Education Code, relating to
supplemental instruction.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1226, as introduced, Huber. Supplemental instruction.
   Existing law requires the governing board of each school district
maintaining any or all of grades 2 to 9, inclusive, to offer, and
authorizes a charter school to offer, programs of direct, systematic,
and intensive supplemental instruction to pupils enrolled in grades
2 to 9, inclusive, who have been recommended for retention or who
have been retained, and authorizes a school district or charter
school to require a pupil who has been retained to participate in
supplemental instructional programs. Existing law authorizes the Long
Beach Unified School District or any other school district to
require pupils, who are identified pursuant to a policy adopted by
the governing board of the school district at a regularly scheduled
board meeting, to participate in those supplemental instructional
programs.
   This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
