AB 2632: Education and workforce development: statewide framework.

Official summary

Legislative Counsel’s Digest (official, as of the latest version). Written by nonpartisan legislative staff; reproduced verbatim.

Existing law establishes a system of elementary and secondary education in this state, under which school districts, county offices of education, charter schools, and state special schools provide instruction to pupils in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, at schoolsites throughout the state.

Existing law establishes the University of California, under the administration of the Regents of the University of California, the California State University, under the administration of the Trustees of the California State University, and the California Community Colleges, under the administration of the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges, as the public segments of postsecondary education in the state.

This bill, on or before July 1, 2028, would require the State Board of Education, in partnership with the State Department of Education, to establish a formal framework, to be known as the Vision for California Education, to serve as the primary guiding framework for education policy across the state’s elementary, secondary, and public postsecondary educational systems. The bill would require the vision to achieve specified goals, including, among other goals, establishing clear pathways that connect the state’s elementary, secondary, and public postsecondary educational systems and the workforce, as provided. The bill further would require the state board, on or before January 1, 2030, and every 2 years thereafter, to report to the Legislature on the progress made toward achieving the vision’s goals.
