BILL NUMBER: SB 1059
VETOED DATE: 09/30/2010
??
To the Members of the California State Senate:
I am returning Senate Bill 1059 without my signature.
I have always been committed to ensuring that every child receives a
free and appropriate public education, including students with
special needs through the implementation of an Individualized
Education Plan. This bill attempts to provide additional
clarification on which local educational agency is responsible for
foster care pupils with special needs who have been detained in a
juvenile hall. While I appreciate the intent to address this complex
issue, in light of pending litigation regarding this issue, it is
premature to enact these statutory changes.
For this reason, I am unable to sign this bill.
Sincerely,
Arnold Schwarzenegger
