CA SB586

Requires community college districts and school districts offering career technical education pathways under CCAP partnerships to consult with local workforce development boards to ensure pathways align with regional and statewide employment needs, with final decision-making authority retained by the districts.

Consolidates the public meeting requirement so governing boards present, take public comments on, and approve or disapprove CCAP partnership agreements at a single open public meeting instead of requiring two separate meetings.

Extends the CCAP partnership authorization from January 1, 2022 to January 1, 2027, allowing an additional 5 years of operation for these dual enrollment programs.

Includes conforming changes related to continuation high schools, parental consent forms, and registration priority for students completing units under CCAP agreements.

Requires the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges to revise the special part-time student application process by July 31, 2020 to allow students to complete one application for their entire duration in a CCAP partnership.
