	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Senator Calderon

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2012

   An act to amend Section 69648 of the Education Code, relating to
community colleges.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1153, as introduced, Calderon. Community College Extended
Opportunity Programs and Services: student eligibility.
   Existing law establishes the Community College Extended
Opportunity Programs and Services to encourage local community
colleges to establish and implement programs to identify those
students affected by language, social, and economic handicaps, and to
assist those students to achieve their educational objectives and
goals, including, but not necessarily limited to, obtaining job
skills, occupational certificates, or associate degrees, and
transferring to four-year institutions. Existing law authorizes the
governing board of a community college district to establish extended
opportunity programs and services and receive state funding if
specified conditions are met. Existing law requires a student to
remain eligible for extended opportunity programs or services until
he or she has completed consecutively 6 semester terms or 9 quarter
terms of enrollment.
   This bill would require a student to remain eligible for extended
opportunity programs or services until he or she completes 8 semester
terms or 12 quarter terms of enrollment.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
