BILL NUMBER: SB 512 VETOED DATE: 10/08/2011 To the Members of the California State Senate: I am returning Senate Bill 512 without my signature. This bill requires that current school reporting practices include performance data for "any pupil subgroup?that includes ten or more pupils." I commend the author for his important work to improve the public reporting of test scores for students. I note that the African American Advisory Committee convened by the State Board of Education made this recommendation in May and it has now been adopted and implemented. Therefore, this bill is no longer required. I welcome the opportunity to work with the author to achieve our mutual goals administratively whenever possible. Sincerely, Edmund G. Brown Jr.
