BILL NUMBER:  AB 1765
  VETOED	DATE: 08/27/2012




To the Members of the California State Assembly:

I am returning Assembly Bill 1765 without my signature.

This bill would require the California Commission on Teacher
Credentialing to convene an advisory panel to come up with ways to
identify and possibly reward teachers who help other teachers become
more effective in the classroom.

Given that the Commission is facing a huge backlog of cases, it is
not the time to assume additional responsibilities. While I
enthusiastically support professional development, especially by
skilled teachers, nothing precludes local educators from doing this
work. I don't think another government panel is needed.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
