SUMMARY : Extends for two additional years (through the 2016-17
fiscal year) the existing requirement that school districts
spend at least as much on regional occupational centers and
programs (ROC/Ps) as they did in the 2012-13 fiscal year.
EXISTING LAW : Requires school districts to spend at least as
much on ROC/Ps in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years as they
did in the 2012-13 fiscal year.
FISCAL EFFECT : According to the Assembly Appropriations
Committee, Proposition 98 (1988) cost pressure in millions to
the extent districts planned to expend funding for another
educational purpose other than ROC/Ps.
COMMENTS : ROC/Ps provide regional career-technical education
during the school day, after school, and in the evening in high
schools and regional centers. As a categorical program, ROC/Ps
were last funded at $384 million per year. From 2008-09 to
2012-13, districts were given flexibility over the use of these
funds. In 2010, approximately 42% of districts responding to a
survey by the Legislative Analyst's Office reported using at
least some of their ROC/P funds to support other programs. In
2013-14, ROC/P funds were rolled into the Local Control Funding
Formula. However, districts are required to maintain their
2012-13 level of ROC/P funding through 2014-15. The purpose of
AB 2216

the maintenance of effort requirement is to provide ROC/Ps with
some short term certainty during the transition to the LCFF and
to provide time to consider options for ROC/P funding in the
future.
