State Legislative Advocacy

ACOE engages in state-level legislative advocacy for education policies that support its students and stakeholders.

This year, ACOE is proud to sponsor Assembly Bill 1230 (Bonta): Pupil Discipline: Expulsions: Procedures, which will strengthen the statutes governing rehabilitation plans for expelled students, help facilitate these students’ successful return to their home district school or appropriate alternative, and support data-based county office of education (COE) and school district planning regarding expulsion programs. Additional details are provided in ACOE’s letter to the Chair of the Assembly Education Committee.

ACOE has also taken advocacy positions on other bills introduced this legislative session consiste
