</ns0:GeneralSubject>
<ns0:DigestText>
<html:p>Existing law establishes the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as one of the segments of public postsecondary education in this state. Existing law establishes community college districts throughout the state, and authorizes them to provide instruction to students at community college campuses. One of these districts is the Cerritos Community College District.</html:p>
<html:p> Existing law establishes the California College Promise, under the administration of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, to provide funding, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to each community college meeting prescribed requirements. Existing law authorizes a community college to use that funding to waive some or all of the fees for 2 academic years for certain first-time students
at the college.</html:p>
<html:p>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.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill, until January 1, 2032, would authorize the governing board of the Cerritos Community College District to enter into a data sharing agreement with the governing board of a school district, county office of education, or charter school that partners with the district under the California College Promise or the College and Career Access Pathways Program to exchange personally identifiable student information for the limited and express purpose of creating a community college student record to enable a student of the partnering local educational agency to enroll in community college courses offered by the district. The bill would require the data to be shared under the agreement on a form developed or approved by the
office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, as provided.
The bill would require, on or before January 1, 2031, the chancellor’s office to submit a report to the Legislature on the effectiveness of the bill, as specified.</html:p>
<html:p>This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Cerritos Community College District.</html:p>

<ns0:Content>
<html:p>The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique circumstances concerning the Cerritos Community College District, in that it serves a uniquely concentrated population of first-generation college students, operates an integrated college-going partnership with all high schools maintained by the district, and has developed a comprehensive onboarding and student success framework that enables the implementation and evaluation of an automatic registration pilot program in a manner not currently feasible statewide.</html:p>
