| 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

| CA | Vetoed 09/2004 | P-12 | Establishes the High School Remediation Funding Flexibility Program for the purpose of providing funding flexibility for remediation instruction for high school pupils in grades 9 to 12 who are at risk of not passing the high school exit examination. Provides for remediation instruction class size. Requires such instruction to be in the core subject areas that are tested, and to be provided by a certificated employee who is highly qualified, as defined by the state board of education for purposes of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001. Authorizes a school district to participate in the program only if it received funding pursuant to the Morgan-Hart Class Size Reduction Act of 1989 continuously since the 2001-02 fiscal year, in which case, the bill would authorize the school district to use any available funds from that act for purposes of the program. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_2601-2650/ab_2647_bill_20040825_enrolled.html

| VA | Signed into law 04/2004 | P-12 | Amends section 22.1-253.13:1 and 22.1-253.13:2 . Specifies that the Standards of Learning form the core of Virginia's educational program and other educational objectives. Specifies that the state board must, at a minimum, define Standards of Learning for English, mathematics, science, history and social science. Specifies that "communication" as included in the Standards of Learning comprises listening, speaking, reading and writing. To passage on public input on proposed revisions to the Standards of Learning, adds that the department must provide and maintain Web capacity to allowing K-12 educators to submit recommendations for improvements to the Standards of Learning, when under review by the state board, as well as to the related assessments. Deletes "career education schools" from language requiring local boards to implement career and technical education programs.
Provisions (i) increase from one half-time to one full-time principal in elementary schools with fewer than 300 students; (ii) provide one full-time assistant principal for each 400 students in each school, regardless of grade level; (iv) lower the pupil-teacher ratio from 25:1 to 21:1 in middle and high schools, to ensure the provision of scheduled teacher planning time; (v) reduce the required speech pathologist caseload from 68 to 60 students; (vi) require two technology support positions per 1,000 students in kindergarten through grade 12 divisionwide; and (viii) modify the current funding mechanism for remediation.
Requires the state board to submit to the governor and the general assembly a report on the condition and needs of public education in the commonwealth and shall identify any school divisions and the specific schools therein that have failed to establish and maintain schools meeting the existing prescribed standards of quality.

| WA | Signed into law 03/2004 | P-12 | The bill repeals RCW 28A.165 current law governing the Learning Assistance Program (LAP), and adds new sections re-establishing LAP. Section 6 creates a new LAP approval process based on the submission of an annual plan addressing all elements represented in Section 4 of the bill (Progam Plan). School districts that achieve reading and mathematics goals as prescribed in RCW 28A.655 (Academic Achievement and Accountability) will have their program approved upon submittal. Districts with one or more schools in a state or federal program of school improvement will have their plan and programs approved in conjunction with state or federal school improvement program requirements. Schools districts that are not achieving reading and mathematics goals and are not in state or federal school improvement programs shall be subject to LAP plan approval once plan components are reviewed by the Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI). The purpose of the review is to provide districts with technical assistance in the final development of the plan. This additional requirement to provide technical assistance will require additional resources to ensure that school districts receive an adequate level of support. Promotes the use of assessment data when developing programs to assist underachieving students; guides school districts in providing the most effective and efficient practices when implementing such programs; provides the means by which a district becomes eligible for learning assistance program funds and the distribution of those funds. http://www.leg.wa.gov/pub/billinfo/2003-04/Senate/5875-5899/5877-s_e.pdf
