Currently, school districts must notify each apprenticeship program, in the same county as the school district, of the date, time, and location of a planned college or career fair. A “college fair” is an event where multiple college or university representatives are invited to present college options to pupils. The law defines “career fair” as an event where multiple private businesses, governmental agencies, university representatives, or career technical school representatives present career options or career technical education options to pupils.
This bill requires a district that serves students in grades 9 to 12 to notify each community college district that has overlapping jurisdiction with the district of the date, time, and location of a planned college or career fair.
(AB 1173 adds Article 6 (commencing with Section 52770) to Chapter 11 of Part 28 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Education Code.)
