AB 2178: Community colleges: county probation departments: instructional service agreements.
This bill aims to provide academic or career technical education courses at juvenile justice facilities operated by county probation departments. A home community college district can enter into an instructional services agreement with a county probation department to offer these courses. If the home district is unable to do so, a non-home community college district can enter into a similar agreement. The bill prohibits the home district from interfering with the non-home district's ability to provide instruction at the facility. The goal is to increase access to postsecondary education for justice-involved students.
