LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
(1)Existing law provides for the attendance of apprentices at local educational agencies, as defined to include school districts and county offices of education, and at community colleges, under vocational education program standards that are established with the participation of the State Department of Education, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the Department of Industrial Relations. Existing law requires the chancellor to make allocations for related and supplemental instruction, as provided by the participating local educational agencies and community colleges related to apprenticeship programs, to be paid from funds appropriated for those purposes.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature that related and supplemental instruction for
apprentices, as defined, be fully funded for each fiscal year commencing with the 2015–16 fiscal year. The bill would authorize the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to adjust the amount of the allocations made to local educational agencies and community colleges under these provisions in order to fully fund the attendance hours of related and supplemental instruction for apprentices. The bill would also provide that if, in any fiscal year, the funds appropriated to the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges for these purposes exceed the amount needed to fully fund the attendance hours of related and supplemental instruction for apprentices reported for that fiscal year, those excess funds would be available for allocation for those purposes in the following fiscal year.
The bill would appropriate $10,000,000 to the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges for allocation to local educational agencies and to community colleges for
related and supplemental instruction, as defined, for the 2016–17 fiscal year.
