BILL NUMBER:  AB 1166
  VETOED	DATE: 09/14/2012




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1166 without my signature.

This bill would prohibit a school district from including information
about a pupil's standardized test scores or course grades on any
materials a pupil may be required to carry while at school.

This bill is unnecessary, as existing federal and state laws already
protect pupil privacy. Moreover, this bill was written in response to
a problem that was resolved at the local level.

Local districts are governed by trustees elected by and responsible
to their respective communities. The principle of subsidiarity
suggests limits to state intervention in school district matters.
Sacramento should not easily or too quickly pre-empt local decisions.


Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
