LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 845, as amended, Prez. Pupil instruction: career technical education, career education, and apprenticeships.(1)Existing law requires any entity that has a contract with a school district, county office of education, or charter school to ensure that any employee who interacts with pupils, outside of the immediate supervision and control of the pupils parent or guardian or a school employee, has a valid criminal records summary, as specified. Existing law exempts an employee of any entity that has a contract with a local educational agency, and that offers work experience opportunities for pupils or workplace placements as part of a pupils individualized education program, from the requirement to have a valid criminal records summary if certain requirements are met, including, if the pupil participates in an independent study program provided by the contractor under parental supervision and control, the local educational agency to either verify a criminal records summary of employees of the contractor who interact with the pupil or receive parental consent that acknowledges that the contractor does not have a criminal records summary of the employees.This bill would limit the requirement to obtain a criminal records summary of employees of contractors to those employees who supervise, mentor, or provide direct guidance or instruction to pupils, instead of any employee of a contractor who interacts with pupils, pursuant to the above-described provisions. For purposes of those requirements, the bill would require the state special schools to comply to the same extent as school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools.(2)(1) Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to coordinate the development, on a cyclical basis, of model curriculum standards for required courses of study, including a career technical education course, for pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, as specified. Existing law requires the Superintendent to set forth these standards in terms of a wide range of specific competencies in each academic subject area, as specified. Existing law requires the Superintendent to seek advice of classroom teachers, school administrators, parents, postsecondary educators, and representatives of business and industry in developing these standards.This bill would require the Superintendent to set forth those standards in terms of a wide range of specific competencies in each career technical education subject area, rather than in each academic subject area, as specified. The bill would require the Superintendent to seek advice of career technical classroom teachers, instead of classroom teachers generally, and to also seek advice of representatives of labor, in developing those career technical education standards. The bill would define cyclical basis, for purposes of the development of those standards, as a period not exceeding 5 years.Existing law requires the Superintendent, upon adoption of model curriculum standards for required courses of study for pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to develop a curriculum framework that offers a blueprint for implementation of career and technical education. Existing law requires the Superintendent to, in developing the framework, work in consultation and coordination with a specified advisory group.This bill would require the Superintendent, in developing and updating career technical education model curriculum standards and framework on a cyclical basis, to work in consultation and coordination with career technical education industry advisory groups consistent with the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 State Plan, and would require the department to convene an advisory group for each career technical education subject area for those pupils, as specified. The bill would make other changes regarding the development of those standards and the framework, including defining cyclical basis as a period not exceeding 5 years, as specified.(3)(2) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district maintaining a high school to (A) establish courses of work-based learning or work experience education to provide pupils with instruction in the skills, attitudes, and understanding necessary for success in employment, (B) provide guidance and supervision procedures to ensure maximum educational benefit to pupils from placement in suitable work-based learning or work experience education courses, (C) provide for arranging, approving, coordinating, and awarding credit for work-based learning or work experience education courses, and employing personnel for purposes of providing that credit, and (D) provide or require pupils to acquire liability insurance for off-school-grounds work experience programs.This bill would extend the above-described authorizations provided by the governing boards of school districts to the governing boards or bodies of county offices of education, charter schools, and state special schools. The bill would define work-based learning and work experience education for purposes of those authorizations, would make other changes to those authorizations, and would make various other changes to law relating to work-based learning, as specified.Existing law authorizes work-based learning opportunities for pupils to be delivered by partnership academies, regional occupational programs, and local educational agencies, as specified. Existing law authorizes those opportunities to include work experience education, community classrooms, cooperative career technical education programs, and job shadowing experience, as specified.This bill would authorize work-based learning activities, instead of work-based learning opportunities, to be delivered by those entities, and would authorize work-based learning activities to include certain school-based apprenticeships, internships, and mentorships. The bill would instead authorize work-based learning activities to be offered through work experience education courses, community classrooms, cooperative career technical education programs, early college credit courses, and other academic courses, among other related changes, as specified.Existing law requires the governing boards of school districts to grant credit to pupils enrolled in grade 11 or a higher grade for completing a work experience education program, as specified.This bill would extend to pupils enrolled in grade 10 the granting of credit for completing a work experience education program to the same extent granted to pupils in grade 11 or a higher grade. To the extent that the bill would impose new duties on school districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.This bill would require the State Department of Education, upon appropriation by the Legislature for this purpose, to establish a system to collect and maintain data on work-based learning, work experience education, and work permits issued by local educational agencies, and school-based registered apprenticeship programs, as specified.Existing law authorizes the governing board of any high school district, the governing board of any joint powers regional occupational center or program, or the county superintendent of schools that conducts any county-operated regional occupational center or program to establish and maintain, in connection with any high school or regional occupational center or program under its jurisdiction, cooperative career technical education programs or community classrooms as part of a career technical education course, as specified.This bill would authorize the governing bodies or boards of school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and state special schools that do not operate a regional occupational center or program to offer a work experience education course for the purpose of granting credit toward high school graduation to pupils for completing work-based learning activities, as specified.Existing law requires the Superintendent to adopt rules and regulation for cooperative career technical education programs and community classrooms, as specified.This bill would require the Superintendent to adopt rules and regulations for cooperative career technical education programs and community classrooms offered by the governing board of any joint powers agreement-established regional occupational center or program or by the county superintendent of schools maintaining any county-operated regional occupational center or program, rather than for cooperative career technical education programs and community classrooms generally.Existing law requires the governing board of each school district opting to expend supplemental grant funding or accepting other funds for this purpose to provide a series of career technical education programs, each offering a sequence of courses leading to specific competencies, as specified. Existing law requires those governing boards to also develop and implement plans for articulation of career education courses with community colleges to extend the sequence of courses through grades 13 and 14.For governing boards of school districts opting to extend supplemental grant funding or accepting other funds for this purpose, this bill would require those governing boards to, within each series of career technical education programs, offer a sequence of at least 2 courses leading to those specific competencies. The bill would require those governing board plans with community colleges to instead regard articulation of career technical education courses to establish opportunities for pupils to earn college credit and meet prerequisite requirements for community college career education certificates and degree programs, and to align the sequence of courses through grades 13 and 14.Existing law provides for apprenticeship programs within the Division of Apprenticeship Standards within the Department of Industrial Relations, sponsored by specific entities and employers, and requires the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to perform various functions with respect to apprenticeship programs and the welfare of apprentices.This bill would require the State Department of Education to, in collaboration with the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, convene an interagency workgroup composed of representatives of certain state agencies for specified purposes, including, among others, establishing guidance for youth apprenticeship programs registered by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. The bill would require the department to, in collaboration with the interagency workgroup, establish priorities for occupational frameworks, as defined, and industry skills frameworks, as defined, and present those frameworks to the Division of Apprenticeship Standards for adoption. The bill would require the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to modify, reject, or adopt those frameworks presented by the department. The bill would make the implementation of these provisions contingent upon an appropriation by the Legislature for these purposes in the annual Budget Act or another statute.(4)(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES Bill TextThe people of the State of California do enact as follows:SECTION 1.Section 45125.1 of the Education Code is amended to read:45125.1.(a)Any entity that has a contract with a local educational agency shall ensure that any employee who supervises, mentors, or provides direct guidance or instruction to pupils, outside of the immediate supervision and control of the pupils parent or guardian or a school employee, has a valid criminal records summary as described in Section 44237.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGESTSB 845, as amended, Prez. Pupil instruction: career technical education, career education, and apprenticeships.(1)Existing law requires any entity that has a contract with a school district, county office of education, or charter school to ensure that any employee who interacts with pupils, outside of the immediate supervision and control of the pupils parent or guardian or a school employee, has a valid criminal records summary, as specified. Existing law exempts an employee of any entity that has a contract with a local educational agency, and that offers work experience opportunities for pupils or workplace placements as part of a pupils individualized education program, from the requirement to have a valid criminal records summary if certain requirements are met, including, if the pupil participates in an independent study program provided by the contractor under parental supervision and control, the local educational agency to either verify a criminal records summary of employees of the contractor who interact with the pupil or receive parental consent that acknowledges that the contractor does not have a criminal records summary of the employees.This bill would limit the requirement to obtain a criminal records summary of employees of contractors to those employees who supervise, mentor, or provide direct guidance or instruction to pupils, instead of any employee of a contractor who interacts with pupils, pursuant to the above-described provisions. For purposes of those requirements, the bill would require the state special schools to comply to the same extent as school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools.(2)(1) Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to coordinate the development, on a cyclical basis, of model curriculum standards for required courses of study, including a career technical education course, for pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, as specified. Existing law requires the Superintendent to set forth these standards in terms of a wide range of specific competencies in each academic subject area, as specified. Existing law requires the Superintendent to seek advice of classroom teachers, school administrators, parents, postsecondary educators, and representatives of business and industry in developing these standards.This bill would require the Superintendent to set forth those standards in terms of a wide range of specific competencies in each career technical education subject area, rather than in each academic subject area, as specified. The bill would require the Superintendent to seek advice of career technical classroom teachers, instead of classroom teachers generally, and to also seek advice of representatives of labor, in developing those career technical education standards. The bill would define cyclical basis, for purposes of the development of those standards, as a period not exceeding 5 years.Existing law requires the Superintendent, upon adoption of model curriculum standards for required courses of study for pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to develop a curriculum framework that offers a blueprint for implementation of career and technical education. Existing law requires the Superintendent to, in developing the framework, work in consultation and coordination with a specified advisory group.This bill would require the Superintendent, in developing and updating career technical education model curriculum standards and framework on a cyclical basis, to work in consultation and coordination with career technical education industry advisory groups consistent with the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006 State Plan, and would require the department to convene an advisory group for each career technical education subject area for those pupils, as specified. The bill would make other changes regarding the development of those standards and the framework, including defining cyclical basis as a period not exceeding 5 years, as specified.(3)(2) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district maintaining a high school to (A) establish courses of work-based learning or work experience education to provide pupils with instruction in the skills, attitudes, and understanding necessary for success in employment, (B) provide guidance and supervision procedures to ensure maximum educational benefit to pupils from placement in suitable work-based learning or work experience education courses, (C) provide for arranging, approving, coordinating, and awarding credit for work-based learning or work experience education courses, and employing personnel for purposes of providing that credit, and (D) provide or require pupils to acquire liability insurance for off-school-grounds work experience programs.This bill would extend the above-described authorizations provided by the governing boards of school districts to the governing boards or bodies of county offices of education, charter schools, and state special schools. The bill would define work-based learning and work experience education for purposes of those authorizations, would make other changes to those authorizations, and would make various other changes to law relating to work-based learning, as specified.Existing law authorizes work-based learning opportunities for pupils to be delivered by partnership academies, regional occupational programs, and local educational agencies, as specified. Existing law authorizes those opportunities to include work experience education, community classrooms, cooperative career technical education programs, and job shadowing experience, as specified.This bill would authorize work-based learning activities, instead of work-based learning opportunities, to be delivered by those entities, and would authorize work-based learning activities to include certain school-based apprenticeships, internships, and mentorships. The bill would instead authorize work-based learning activities to be offered through work experience education courses, community classrooms, cooperative career technical education programs, early college credit courses, and other academic courses, among other related changes, as specified.Existing law requires the governing boards of school districts to grant credit to pupils enrolled in grade 11 or a higher grade for completing a work experience education program, as specified.This bill would extend to pupils enrolled in grade 10 the granting of credit for completing a work experience education program to the same extent granted to pupils in grade 11 or a higher grade. To the extent that the bill would impose new duties on school districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.This bill would require the State Department of Education, upon appropriation by the Legislature for this purpose, to establish a system to collect and maintain data on work-based learning, work experience education, and work permits issued by local educational agencies, and school-based registered apprenticeship programs, as specified.Existing law authorizes the governing board of any high school district, the governing board of any joint powers regional occupational center or program, or the county superintendent of schools that conducts any county-operated regional occupational center or program to establish and maintain, in connection with any high school or regional occupational center or program under its jurisdiction, cooperative career technical education programs or community classrooms as part of a career technical education course, as specified.This bill would authorize the governing bodies or boards of school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and state special schools that do not operate a regional occupational center or program to offer a work experience education course for the purpose of granting credit toward high school graduation to pupils for completing work-based learning activities, as specified.Existing law requires the Superintendent to adopt rules and regulation for cooperative career technical education programs and community classrooms, as specified.This bill would require the Superintendent to adopt rules and regulations for cooperative career technical education programs and community classrooms offered by the governing board of any joint powers agreement-established regional occupational center or program or by the county superintendent of schools maintaining any county-operated regional occupational center or program, rather than for cooperative career technical education programs and community classrooms generally.Existing law requires the governing board of each school district opting to expend supplemental grant funding or accepting other funds for this purpose to provide a series of career technical education programs, each offering a sequence of courses leading to specific competencies, as specified. Existing law requires those governing boards to also develop and implement plans for articulation of career education courses with community colleges to extend the sequence of courses through grades 13 and 14.For governing boards of school districts opting to extend supplemental grant funding or accepting other funds for this purpose, this bill would require those governing boards to, within each series of career technical education programs, offer a sequence of at least 2 courses leading to those specific competencies. The bill would require those governing board plans with community colleges to instead regard articulation of career technical education courses to establish opportunities for pupils to earn college credit and meet prerequisite requirements for community college career education certificates and degree programs, and to align the sequence of courses through grades 13 and 14.Existing law provides for apprenticeship programs within the Division of Apprenticeship Standards within the Department of Industrial Relations, sponsored by specific entities and employers, and requires the Chief of the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to perform various functions with respect to apprenticeship programs and the welfare of apprentices.This bill would require the State Department of Education to, in collaboration with the office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, convene an interagency workgroup composed of representatives of certain state agencies for specified purposes, including, among others, establishing guidance for youth apprenticeship programs registered by the Division of Apprenticeship Standards. The bill would require the department to, in collaboration with the interagency workgroup, establish priorities for occupational frameworks, as defined, and industry skills frameworks, as defined, and present those frameworks to the Division of Apprenticeship Standards for adoption. The bill would require the Division of Apprenticeship Standards to modify, reject, or adopt those frameworks presented by the department. The bill would make the implementation of these provisions contingent upon an appropriation by the Legislature for these purposes in the annual Budget Act or another statute.(4)(3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.Digest Key Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: YES | |
