TO: BOARD OF SUPERVISORS Costa
FROM: Supervisor Tom Torlakson County
DATE: January 23, 1996
SUBJECT: CONSIDER POSITION IN SUPPORT OF SENATE BILL 643, SCHOOL-TO-WORK
OPPORTUNITIES PROGRAM INTRODUCED BY SENATOR PATRICK JOHNSTON
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Consider adopting a position in support of Senate Bill 643 (Johnston)
which would establish the School-to-Work Opportunities Program. This legislation would create a
School-to-Career Advisory Committee to advise the Governor, Legislature, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction, the State Board of Education, and the Chancellor of the California Community
Colleges on the development and implementation of a school-to-career system in California.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: SB 643 focuses on our educational system and the importance of
preparing our youth for productive roles in our economy and our society. A bridge between our
educational system and the business community is essential to provide our high school students with
meaningful choices -- to pursue a college education or a job with a future. This legislation serves as a
foundation for much needed reforms of our state's educational system that will assist educators in
equipping our youth with the necessary skills to succeed in their chosen career.
