AB 2239 California Assembly · 2017-2018 Regular Session

Pupil instruction: world language courses: A-G course certification.

Summary
Existing law requires the California State University, and requests the University of California, to establish a model uniform set of academic standards for high school courses for purposes of recognition for admission to the California State University and to the University of California, respectively. These uniform set of academic standards are commonly referred to as the "A–G" subject requirements. Existing law encourages the governing board of a school district to support schools in submitting any computer science course that a school wishes to use to fulfill school district imposed mathematics subject area requirements to the University of California for certification and addition to the school's "A–G" course list. This bill would require the State Department of Education to encourage the governing board of each school district, and the governing body of each charter school, whose schools offer world language courses that are specifically designed for native speakers that are not approved as "A–G" courses, to support their respective schools in submitting those courses to the University of California for certification and addition to the schools' "A–G" course list.
