	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2269, as amended, Swanson. Pupil instruction: Labor History
Month.
   Existing law deems the first week of April to be Labor History
Week and encourages school districts to commemorate that week with
appropriate educational exercises that make pupils aware of the role
that the labor movement has played in shaping California and the
United States.
   This bill would instead deem the month of  April 
 May  to be Labor History Month and encourage school
districts to commemorate that month with appropriate educational
exercises, as specified.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.

   51009.  The month of  April   May  is
hereby deemed to be Labor History Month throughout the public
schools, and school districts are encouraged to commemorate this
month with appropriate educational exercises that make pupils aware
of the role the labor movement has played in shaping California and
the United States.
