SB 1244: Pupil instruction: dual enrollment: College and Career Access Pathways partnerships.

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, a county office of education, or the governing body of a charter school for the purpose of offering or expanding dual enrollment opportunities for pupils who may not already be college bound or who are underrepresented in higher education, as provided. Existing law prohibits a community college district from entering into a CCAP partnership with a school district, county office of education, or charter school within the service area of another community college district except where an agreement exists, or is established, between those community college districts authorizing that CCAP partnership.

This bill would instead require a community college district to allow an existing CCAP partnership to be amended, or a new CCAP agreement to be established with a school district, county office of education, or charter school and a community college district outside of the primary community college districts service area, if the primary community college district has declined a request from the school district, county office of education, or charter school, or has failed to take action within 60 calendar days of a request by the school district, county office of education, or charter school to either amend into the existing CCAP partnership the requested courses, or to approve another community college district to enter into a CCAP partnership to offer those courses.
