| CA | Vetoed 09/2004 | P-12 | Requires a school district, as a condition of receiving funding for supplemental instruction, to convene a pupil study team for each pupil who is
retained, or at risk of being retained, between the 2nd and 3rd grades because the pupil's reading ability is unsatisfactory. Requires a pupil study team to develop an intervention plan for the pupil to whom it is assigned and to meet once a year for this purpose until the pupil graduates from the school or until the team determines that the pupil no longer needs intervention. If a pupil graduates from elementary school and is
still in need of the services provided pursuant to his or her intervention plan, a letter to that effect would be required to be placed in the pupil's cumulative file so that this need is communicated to personnel at the school the pupil will subsequently attend. Requires that a school district
give first priority for the use of supplemental instruction funding to the implementation of the intervention plans developed by pupil study teams. Makes implementation of these provisions contingent upon funds being appropriated for this purpose in the annual Budget Act or other statute. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_0651-0700/sb_651_bill_20040826_enrolled.html
