Adds an expression of legislative intent that, as the California Education Information System is implemented over time, access to public information already available on various measures of the quality of teacher preparation programs be available in electronic format and be accessible to the extent practicable through downloadable pages and reports accessible to the public in a consolidated manner. Requires all teacher preparation programs, including but not limited to local educational agencies or other programs not accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges, to provide information to prospective candidates on the licensure exam pass rates of its program completers for the most recent available year, if that data is available electronically through the Commission on Teacher Credentialing Web site. Provides the link may also include access to additional data from the commission and from the CALTIDES regarding the types of programs offered and data on program effectiveness.
Redefines "qualifying institution" for purposes of the Cal Grant Program to mean any institution that is (1) either a California private or independent postsecondary educational institution that participates in specified
federal student aid programs, a nonprofit institution that is headquartered and operating in California that meets specified criteria, or a California public postsecondary educational institution AND (2) that complies with a requirement to provide information on where to access California licensure exam pass rates for graduates of undergraduate programs leading to employment for which passage of a California licensing exam is required, if that data is electronically available through the Web site of a California licensing or regulatory agency. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/asm/ab_2051-2100/ab_2086_bill_20100924_chaptered.pdf

Postsec. | Provides for the calculation of state aid for unified systems and makes changes related to the early childhood education programs to be included in the calculation of state aid, as well as district responsibilities for students participating in open enrollment.

Among other provisions, removes a redundant reporting requirement for county assessors to certify taxable value of school districts; clarifies residency provisions for school districts; modifies qualifications for preschool programs that receive state aid funds; and harmonizes the calculation of unused budget authority with recent changes in the budget authority provisions for school districts. Defines the educational service unit coordinating council as a political subdivision, but does not grant taxing authority. Also requires the board to adopt a policy for sharing student data with the University of Nebraska Regents, the Nebraska State Colleges board of trustees and the board of governors from each community college area.
