INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Buchanan

                        FEBRUARY 23, 2012

   An act to amend Section 51102 of the Education Code, relating to
pupil instruction.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2123, as introduced, Buchanan. Pupil instruction: parental
involvement.
   Existing law provides that parents or guardians of pupils enrolled
in public schools have specified rights and should have specified
opportunities with regard to the education of their children.
Existing law, upon approval by the State Board of Education, requires
the State Department of Education to make materials available that
describe a comprehensive partnership at schoolsites that involves
parents and guardians of pupils in the public schools of California,
as specified.
   This bill would make technical, nonsubstantive changes to that
latter provision.
   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 51102 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   51102.   Upon approval of the materials by the  State
Board of Education   state board  , the 
State Department of Education   department  shall
make materials available that describe a comprehensive partnership at
a schoolsite that involves parents and guardians of pupils in the

variety of roles at all grade levels on or before December 31, 1999.
The materials shall include information about the possible roles of
