LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


AB 1189, as amended, Gipson. Pupil instruction: career technical education. Career technical education: Master Plan for Career Education.
Existing law provides funding for career technical education programs, including through, among others, the California Career Technical Education Incentive Grant Program and the Strong Workforce Program and a K–12 component of the Strong Workforce Program, with the purpose of creating, maintaining, supporting, encouraging, strengthening, and expanding the delivery of career technical education programs in the state, as provided.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact subsequent legislation that would implement aspects of Governor Gavin Newsom’s Master Plan for Career Education established pursuant to Executive Order No. N-11-23.

Existing law requires a school district maintaining any of grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to offer to all otherwise qualified pupils in those grades a course of study that provides an opportunity for those pupils to attain entry-level employment skills in business or industry upon graduation from high school. Existing law requires the adopted course of study for grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to offer courses in specified areas of study, including, among others, career technical education, as specified.

This bill would, commencing with the 2024–25 school year, require each school district maintaining any of grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to offer career technical education to all pupils in those grades. By imposing additional duties on school districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

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.
