CA SB563

Extends the College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership law from its January 1, 2022 expiration date to January 1, 2027, allowing community colleges and school districts to continue dual enrollment partnerships.

Establishes a competitive CCAP Grant Program administered by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, upon legislative appropriation, to fund effective models of fully funded CCAP partnerships.

Requires selection of 3 community colleges (one each in northern, southern, and central California) by July 1, 2020, partnered with 1-5 school districts or charter schools per community college, to receive grant awards of $300,000 per community college and $200,000 per school district/charter school annually for fiscal years 2020–21 through 2022–23.

Expands the Chancellor's required summary report to include recommendations on reducing paper-based registrations, tracking pupil outcomes, wrap-around services, best practices dissemination, educator professional development, and ensuring dual enrollment completers are counted in statewide metrics.

Imposes conditions on grant recipients including prohibition on supplanting existing funding, alignment with local control and accountability plans, and maintenance of ongoing funding commitments from partners beyond the grant period.
