                        FEBRUARY 17, 2009

Chapter 6.1 of Part 28 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Education
Code, relating to supplemental education services.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 296, as amended, Solorio. Supplemental educational services.
   (1) Existing federal law defines "supplemental educational
services" as tutoring and other supplemental academic enrichment
services that are provided in addition to instruction provided during
the schoolday and are high quality, research-based, and specifically
designed to increase academic achievement, as specified.
   Under federal law, local educational agencies, state educational
agencies, and providers of supplemental educational services are
required to comply with certain requirements relating to the
administration of these supplemental educational services.
   This bill would require local educational agencies and
supplemental educational service providers to comply with specified
requirements relating to these supplemental educational services,
including requirements relating to providing information to parents
and guardians and enrollment of pupils in supplemental educational
services. The bill would require local educational agencies to permit
supplemental educational service providers access to school
facilities if the local educational agency provides access to outside
entities, except as specified. Because the bill would require local
educational agencies to provide a higher level of service, it would
impose a state-mandated local program.
   (2) 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 these
statutory provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
