Community College | Establishes the Prison Education Reform Act. Changes the position of Superintendent of Correctional Education to the Deputy Director of Correctional Education, to report directly to the Director of Corrections. Requires deputy director to oversee and administer all prison education programs in conjunction with the Robert E. Burton Correctional Education Committee. Renames the prison education advisory committee the Robert E. Burton Correctional Education Committee, to be composed of 15 appointed members, and established within the Department of Corrections. Requires the Deputy Director of Correctional Education, in consultation with the committee to approve education programs in
correctional institutions and adopt and enforce rules and regulations for the management and operation of education programs within the Department of Corrections. Requires the Deputy Director of Correctional Education, in consultation with the committee and in conjunction
with parole and other aftercare programs, to develop and implement a plan for providing transitional educational services for inmates, including, but not limited to, counseling and placement services.
Requires the Deputy Director of Correctional Education, in consultation with the committee, to develop a plan and make every reasonable effort to provide every inmate who has a reasonable expectation of release, with the opportunity to achieve a specified level of functional literacy,
among other educational benefits, and an opportunity to obtain the equivalent of a high school education if the inmate has demonstrated the intellectual capacity to benefit from that additional education, and to provide college-level academic programs. Requires the committee to advise the Deputy Director of Correctional Education regarding specified goals and objectives, including ensuring that correctional education programs meet minimum performance standards and provide 9th grade literacy skills and marketable vocational skills, developing a procedure, in cooperation with the State Department of Education, to evaluate the effectiveness of correctional education programs, developing a mechanism to test all offenders committed to the custody of the Department of Corrections for academic achievement, and developing a 5-year comprehensive plan for a unified correctional school system.
Additionally requires the committee to submit a report to the Legislature on or before January 1, 2007, with recommendations for further restructuring of correctional education in the state and focusing on, among other items, attaining parallel education structures between correctional and public education, funding sources, and correctional education curriculum. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_1901-1950/ab_1914_bill_20040824_enrolled.html

| CA | Vetoed 09/2004 | P-12 | Requires each person who becomes subject to the Department of Corrections on or after January 1, 2006, with the exception of inmates serving a sentence of imprisonment for life without the possibility of parole or who are sentenced to death, to be evaluated with respect to his or her educational and vocational level of development and capacity and with respect to his or her psychosocial level of development and ability to lead a constructive life. Requires that a program be prescribed and implemented for the inmate, based upon these evaluations, that addresses his or her deficient levels of educational, vocational, and psychosocial development, so as to better equip him or her to lead a constructive life upon release from prison. Provides for evaluations and programs exempted persons contingent upon available funds.
Also requires the Director of Corrections to make a parenting education course available to every inmate incarcerated in the state corrections system who is serving a sentence for a crime involving his or her child or a child formerly under his or her care. This bill would require the parenting course to be susceptible of completion within the sentence of the inmate, and would prohibit a reduction in the sentence for an
inmate who failed to complete an available parenting course. Also provides, commencing in the 2005–06 fiscal year, for the application of these provisions, subject to the availability of funding and other specified conditions, to other inmates incarcerated in the state corrections system.
Also requires the Department of the Youth Authority to make a parenting course available to wards confined by that department under similar conditions and criteria. Provides that the sole remedy available to an inmate or ward who is eligible for, but does not receive, the assessment, rehabilitation program, or education course described in these provisions shall be to file a petition for a writ of mandate to compel the department or the director to provide that assessment, rehabilitation program, or education course.

| CA | Vetoed 09/2004 | P-12 | Requires a court to take the educational needs of a minor into consideration when determining the disposition of the minor or when making any other orders related to the care and detention of the minor. Requires a probation officer's social study to include a description of a minor's educational needs and a recommendation for meeting those needs, and, whenever possible, preserving the stability of the minor's educational program. If a minor is required to attend a school program as a condition of probation, the probation officer is required to approve that program consistent with maintaining the stability of the minor's educational program and the educational needs of the minor. If a minor is detained in a secure facility, the facility is required to ensure the minor's attendance at an educational program in accordance with state law.
