	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2269, 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 May to be Labor History
Month and encourage school districts to commemorate that month with
appropriate educational exercises, as specified.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 51009 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   51009.  The month of 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.
