AB 916: Career technical education: student organizations: funding.

Existing law provides funding for various career technical education programs, including regional occupational centers and programs, specialized secondary programs, partnership academies, and agricultural career technical education programs.

This bill would appropriate the sum of $1,170,000 from the General Fund to the State Department of Education for the purposes of allocating funds to a certain county office of education in support of career technical education student organizations, as specified. The bill would also express various findings and declarations of the Legislature relating to career technical education.

Funds appropriated by this bill would be applied toward the minimum funding requirements for school districts and community college districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
