           SUBJECT  :    Education:  technical changes

           SOURCE  :     Author


           DIGEST  :    This bill corrects technical errors and  
          oversights, and makes numerous non-controversial and  
          conforming changes to various provisions of the Education  
          Code.  Specifically, this bill corrects a reference to a  
          Regional Occupational Center that recently changed its name  
          to the Metropolitan Education District, and corrects a  
          reference to the teacher credentialing agency from its old  
          name of Commission on Teacher Preparation and Licensing to  
          the current name: the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.

           ANALYSIS  :    According to the Senate Education Committee  
          analysis, this bill is the annual Education Code clean up  
          legislation, sponsored by the Department of Education, that  
          makes various non-controversial revisions to statute.  This  
          education omnibus bill corrects errors, resolves conflicts,  
          and deletes obsolete references.  By tradition, objection  
          to any provision by the Department of Education, the
