Pupil instruction: California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science.

Existing law establishes the California State Summer School for Mathematics and Science to provide academic development to enable pupils with demonstrated academic excellence in mathematics and science to receive intensive educational enrichment in these subjects and an opportunity for pupils who wish to study mathematics or science or to pursue careers that require a high degree of skills in and knowledge of mathematics and science. Existing law requests the Regents of the University of California to operate the summer school. Existing law requests the regents to set a tuition fee for the summer school within a range that corresponds to actual program costs, up to but not exceeding $1,000 per session in the year 2000, and to increase this fee by an amount of up to 5% each year thereafter. Existing law also requests the regents to develop and implement a statewide application procedure, as specified, and requires that the cost of the application process be at least partially offset by charging each applicant a fee not to exceed $20. This bill would instead request the regents to set a tuition fee within a range that corresponds to actual program costs of up to but not exceeding $2,810 per session in the year 2012, but would return this provision to existing law on January 1, 2018. The bill would also increase the application fee to an amount not exceeding $30, and would make nonsubstantive revisions in these provisions.
