   An act to amend Section 32020 of the Education Code, relating to
school safety.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2367, as introduced, Bonilla. School safety: gates to school
grounds.
   Existing law requires the governing board of a school district and
the governing authority of a private school that maintains any
building used for the instruction or housing of pupils on land
entirely enclosed by fences or walls to provide for the erection of
gates in those fences or walls that are of sufficient size to permit
the entrance of ambulances, police equipment, and firefighting
apparatus used by law enforcement and fire protection agencies,
subject to specified requirements.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to these
provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 32020 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   32020.  The governing board of every school district, and the
governing authority of every private school, which maintains any
building used for the instruction or housing of school pupils on land
entirely enclosed (except for building walls) by fences or walls,
shall, through cooperation with the local law enforcement and fire
protection agencies having jurisdiction of the area, make provision
for the erection of gates in  such   those 
fences or walls. The gates shall be of sufficient size to permit the
entrance of the ambulances, police equipment, and firefighting
apparatus  ,  used by the law enforcement and fire
protection agencies. There shall be no less than one  such
 access gate and there shall be as many  such
 gates as needed to  assure   ensure
 access to all major building and grounds areas. If 
such   the  gates are to be equipped with locks,
the locking devices shall be designed to permit ready entrance by the
use of the chain or bolt cutting devices with which the local law
enforcement and fire protection agencies may be equipped.
