Bill > AB95

This bill establishes the California Education Interagency Council within the Government Operations Agency to improve coordination between education and workforce development systems. The council will be composed of key state education and workforce leaders, including representatives from the State Board of Education, University of California, California State University, California Community Colleges, and workforce development agencies. The council's primary goals include evaluating workforce and economic changes, aligning education and employment systems, supporting adult skill development, and coordinating regional education and workforce needs. The bill requires the council to adopt a strategic plan every six years, create biennial work plans, and submit reports to the Governor and Legislature on their activities and recommendations. Additionally, the bill establishes an Office of the California Education Interagency Council to serve as a neutral administrative body supporting the council's work. The council will be tasked with developing mechanisms to engage with industry, create student pathway recommendations, review educational and employment data, and provide advice on education and workforce issues. Importantly, the council will act in an advisory capacity, and its recommendations will not be automatically implemented without future legislative action. The bill specifies that implementation is subject to an appropriation in the annual budget.
