66204
. (a) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall assist
all school districts to ensure that all public high school pupils
have access to a core curriculum that meets the admission
requirements of the University of California and the California State
University. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall advise
school districts that maintain high schools about the importance of
making readily available to each high school pupil the current list
of courses offered by the school attended by that pupil that are
certified by the University of California as meeting admissions
requirements. It is the intent of the Legislature that each public
high school shall provide the full precollegiate program, provide
adequate course sections in precollegiate programs to accommodate all
its pupils, and regularly counsel pupils to enter those programs and
courses. There shall be no policy or practice in any public
elementary or secondary school of directing, especially for cultural
or linguistic reasons, any pupil in kindergarten or any of the grades
1 to 12, inclusive, away from choosing programs that prepare that
pupil academically for college.
(b) The University of California is requested to assist each
school district that maintains a high school in order to ensure all
of the following:
(1) School districts understand the process by which courses are
submitted to the University of California to be reviewed and
certified as meeting admission requirement criteria.
(2) School districts have an internal process for developing
courses and submitting courses for review and certification by the
University of California in order to meet admission requirement
criteria.
(3) School districts maintain accurate lists of courses that are
currently offered by the high schools and are certified by the
University of California as meeting admission requirement criteria.
(4) Updated lists described in paragraph (3) are readily made
available by the school districts to each high school pupil and a
copy of that list is annually provided to each high school pupil.
(c) It is the intent of the Legislature that the public and
independent institutions of higher education participate in programs
that assist those in elementary and secondary education in meeting
their responsibilities in preparing students for college.
