BILL NUMBER:  SB 1057
  VETOED	DATE: 09/18/2014




To the Members of the California State Senate:

I am returning Senate Bill 1057 without my signature.

This bill would require the State Board of Education to adopt
history-social science content standards by July 30, 2018.

I agree that providing up to date instructional guidance to educators
for use in their classrooms is important. This is precisely why the
State Board of Education is currently updating the history-social
science framework which is on track to be adopted next spring.

I am concerned that this bill may slow progress that is already
underway, and does not include a role for the Instructional Quality
Commission.

For these reasons, I am unable to sign this bill.

Sincerely,



Edmund G. Brown Jr.
