   An act to amend Section 52324 of the Education Code, relating to
career technical education.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1476, as introduced, Cook. Regional occupational centers and
programs: attendance computation.
   Existing law authorizes the county superintendent of schools of
each county, with the consent of the State Board of Education, to
establish and maintain, or with one or more counties to establish and
maintain, a regional occupational center, or regional occupational
program, in the county to provide education and training in career
technical courses. Existing law also authorizes the governing board
of any school district maintaining high schools in the county, with
the consent of the state board and the county superintendent of
schools, to cooperate in the establishment and maintenance of a
regional occupational center or program, except as specified. For
purposes of funding apportionments, existing law specifies the
computation for determining units of average daily attendance in the
regional occupational centers or regional occupational programs of a
county for a fiscal year.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that
provision regarding the attendance computation.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
