	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1114, as introduced, Bonilla. Kindergarten evaluation.
   Existing law provides that school districts offering kindergarten
may maintain kindergarten classes at different schoolsites for
different lengths of time. Existing law requires the Superintendent
of Public Instruction to provide the Legislature with an evaluation
of kindergarten program implementation in the state, including
part-day and full-day kindergarten programs, as specified. Existing
law requires this provision to become inoperative on July 1, 2017.
   This bill would change the inoperative date to July 15, 2017, and
would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
