Senate Bill
No. 911
| Introduced by Senator Borgeas |

An act to add Section 37222.21 to the Education Code, relating to public schools.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 911, as amended, Borgeas.
Public schools: September 11th Remembrance Day.
(1)Existing
Existing law designates particular days each year as having special significance, and encourages all public schools and educational institutions to observe those days and to conduct suitable commemorative exercises on those days.
This bill would designate and set apart September 11 each year as September 11th Remembrance Day, a day having special significance. The bill would require,
encourage, when September 11th Remembrance Day falls on a schoolday, each public elementary and secondary school to observe a moment of silence at an appropriate time while school is in session. By imposing new duties on local educational agencies, the bill would constitute 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 the statutory provisions noted above.
