# California AB 30 (20192020) — Community colleges: College and Career Access Pathways partnerships.

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 or the governing body of a charter school with the goal of developing seamless pathways from high school to community college for career technical education or preparation for transfer, improving high school graduation rates, or helping high school pupils achieve college and career readiness. Existing law requires the partnership agreement to outline the terms of the partnership, as specified, and to establish protocols for information sharing, joint facilities use, and parental consent for high school pupils to enroll in community college courses. Existing law requires the governing board of each district, at an open public meeting of that board, to present the dual enrollment partnership agreement as an informational item, as a condition of, and before adopting, a CCAP partnership agreement. Existing law requires the governing board of each district, at a subsequent open public meeting of that board, to take comments from the public and approve or disapprove the proposed agreement. Existing law authorizes a community college district participating in a CCAP partnership to assign priority for enrollment and course registration to a pupil seeking to enroll in a community college course that is required for the pupil's CCAP partnership program that is equivalent to the priority assigned to a pupil attending a middle college high school and consistent with specified middle college high school provisions. Existing law repeals these provisions on January 1, 2022.
