Section 8669 to, the Education Code, relating to pupil instruction.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1663, Dickinson. Pupil instruction: California State Summer
School for Mathematics and Science.
   Existing law establishes the California State Summer School for
Mathematics and Science to provide academic development to enable
pupils with demonstrated academic excellence in mathematics and
science to receive intensive educational enrichment in these subjects
and an opportunity for pupils who wish to study mathematics or
science or to pursue careers that require a high degree of skills in
and knowledge of mathematics and science. Existing law requests the
Regents of the University of California to operate the summer school.

   Existing law requests the regents to set a tuition fee for the
summer school within a range that corresponds to actual program
costs, up to but not exceeding $1,000 per session in the year 2000,
and to increase this fee by an amount of up to 5% each year
thereafter. Existing law also requests the regents to develop and
implement a statewide application procedure, as specified, and
requires that the cost of the application process be at least
partially offset by charging each applicant a fee not to exceed $20.
   This bill would instead request the regents to set a tuition fee
within a range that corresponds to actual program costs of up to but
not exceeding $2,810 per session in the year 2012, but would return
this provision to existing law on January 1, 2018. The bill would
also increase the application fee to an amount not exceeding $30, and
would make nonsubstantive revisions in these provisions.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 8664 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   8664.  The Regents of the University of California are requested
to perform all of the following duties:
   (a) Provide for the operation and governance of the California
State Summer School for Mathematics and Science, including the
appointment of an advisory committee to assist in planning and
administering the summer school.
   (b) Develop and implement a statewide application procedure in
cooperation with appropriate state and local agencies, including, but
not limited to, school districts, the California State University,
and the California Community Colleges. The cost of the application
process shall be at least partially offset by charging each applicant
a fee not to exceed thirty dollars ($30). Applicants who are unable
to pay the fee shall petition the University of California for a
waiver, which shall be granted or denied pursuant to the rules and
regulations adopted pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8669.
   (c) Develop the curriculum of the summer school.
   (d) Establish a nonprofit foundation to develop and receive
private support for the summer school or establish a separate account
for donations.
  SEC. 2.  Section 8669 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   8669.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that at least 50
percent, but not more than 75 percent, of the actual costs of the
California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science for each
fiscal year would be financed by state funds beginning in the
1999-2000 fiscal year. The balance of the operating costs would be
financed with fees and private support.
   (b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), the Regents of the
University of California are requested to set a tuition fee within a
range that corresponds to actual program costs, up to but not
exceeding two thousand eight hundred ten dollars ($2,810) per session
in the year 2012, and may increase this fee by an amount up to 5
percent each year thereafter. It is the intent of the Legislature
that the University of California award full or partial scholarships
on the basis of need and that pupils who are unable to pay all or
part of the fee may petition the University of California for a fee
reduction or waiver to ensure that a qualified applicant is not
denied admission solely because of his or her inability to pay part
or all of the fee. Any public announcement regarding the summer
school program should include notification that need-based
scholarships are available and information regarding the procedure
for applying for a scholarship award.
   (c) For pupils who are not California residents, it is the intent
of the Legislature that the Regents of the University of California
set a tuition fee that is not less than the total actual costs to the
summer school of services per pupil.
   (d) The foundation authorized to be established pursuant to
subdivision (d) of Section 8664 may raise funds from the private
sector that may be used by the summer school for general program
operating costs, scholarships, program augmentation, public
relations, recruitment activity, or special projects. Private support
may include, but not necessarily be limited to, direct grants to the
summer school from private corporations or foundations, individual
contributions, in-kind contributions, or fundraising benefits
conducted by any entity.
   (e) This section shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2018, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted
statute, that is enacted before January 1, 2018, deletes or extends
that date.
  SEC. 3.  Section 8669 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   8669.  (a) It is the intent of the Legislature that at least 50
percent, but not more than 75 percent, of the actual costs of the
California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science for each
fiscal year would be financed by state funds beginning in the
1999-2000 fiscal year. The balance of the operating costs would be
financed with fees and private support.
   (b) Except as provided in subdivision (c), the Regents of the
University of California are requested to set a tuition fee within a
range that corresponds to actual program costs, up to but not
exceeding one thousand dollars ($1,000) per session in the year 2000,
and may increase this fee by an amount up to 5 percent each year
thereafter. It is the intent of the Legislature that the University
of California award full or partial scholarships on the basis of need
and that pupils who are unable to pay all or part of the fee may
petition the University of California for a fee reduction or waiver
to ensure that a qualified applicant is not denied admission solely
because of his or her inability to pay part or all of the fee. Any
public announcement regarding the summer school program should
include notification that need-based scholarships are available and
information regarding the procedure for applying for a scholarship
award.
   (c) For pupils who are not California residents, it is the intent
of the Legislature that the Regents of the University of California
set a tuition fee that is not less than the total actual costs to the
summer school of services per pupil.
   (d) The foundation authorized to be established pursuant to
subdivision (d) of Section 8664 may raise funds from the private
sector that may be used by the summer school for general program
operating costs, scholarships, program augmentation, public
relations, recruitment activity, or special projects. Private support
may include, but not necessarily be limited to, direct grants to the
summer school from private corporations or foundations, individual
contributions, in-kind contributions, or fundraising benefits
conducted by any entity.
   (e) This section shall become operative on January 1, 2018.
