LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 563, as introduced, Roth.
Community colleges: College and Career Access Pathways Pilot Program.
Existing law authorizes the governing board of a community college district to enter into a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership with the governing board of a school district or the governing body of a charter school with the goal of developing seamless pathways from high school to community college for career technical education or preparation for transfer, improving high school graduation rates, or helping high school pupils achieve college and career readiness. Existing law requires the partnership agreement to outline the terms of the partnership, as specified, and to establish protocols for information sharing, joint facilities use, and parental consent for high school pupils to enroll in community college courses. These provisions are repealed on January 1, 2022.
This bill, upon appropriation by the Legislature, would
establish the College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) pilot program, to be administered by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to develop solutions to reduce barriers and enhance participation of school districts in CCAP partnerships. The bill would require the chancellor’s office, on or before July 1, 2020, to competitively select 3 community colleges, with one each located in northern, southern, and central California, and up to a total of 15 high schools located within the service area of those selected community colleges, with at least 3 and no more than 5 selected high schools located in each selected community college service area, to participate in the pilot program, except as provided. The bill would require the chancellor’s office to allocate to each selected community college and high school a specified award for each of the 2020–21 to 2022–23 fiscal years, inclusive, to be used for specified goals to encourage participation in, and enhance services for pupils participating in, a
CCAP program. The bill would require each selected community college and high school to report, on or before July 1, 2024, to the chancellor’s office, the Legislature, and the appropriate Senate and Assembly select committees relating to career technical education specified information for its respective pupils participating in a CCAP partnership program. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2025.
This bill would make its operation contingent on the enactment of AB 30 of the 2019–20 Regular Session.
Digest Key

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
SECTION 1.
The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:(a) Assembly Bill 288 of the 2015–16 Regular Session (Chapter 618 of the Statutes of 2015) eliminated many of the bureaucratic and statutory hurdles that previously made dual enrollment difficult.
(b) Since the passage of Assembly Bill 288 partnerships between school districts and community college districts have increased, but the volume of participation in dual enrollment statewide has not reached the levels needed for substantial improvement in college-going rates.
(c) Recent data indicates that California’s dual enrollment and completion rates are
still lagging behind other states.
(d) There are a few primary reasons for this, including, but not limited to, all of the following:
(1) Several persistent bureaucratic and statutory challenges.
(2) Best practices in dual enrollment management are neither well known nor uniformly implemented.
(3) The costs associated with wrap-around services and best practices are not provided by existing law.
(e) To mitigate these challenges, funding for wrap-around services and the development of best practices must be a priority.
