SACRAMENTO – (INT) – Assembly member Chris Holden’s (D-Pasadena) bill to expand pathways for high school students who want to pursue college courses or career tech classes was unanimously approved in the Senate Education Committee Wednesday.

AB 1451 enhances concurrent enrollment opportunities by encouraging school districts and community colleges to enter into formal partnership agreements that outline the terms and goals of the partnership.


The Senate Ed Committee also approved Holden’s AB 1557 which asks the Governor to consider appointing individuals to the Community College Board of Governors who reflect our diverse populations, including but not limited to: disabled persons, veterans, and the spectrum of races and genders.
