The bill also simplifies the process for dual-enrollment applications and makes it easier for K-12 schools and community college districts to form partnerships. · SB 554 by Senator Richard Roth (D-Riverside) provides a streamlined approach for adults enrolled in High School Equivalency programs to concurrently enroll in one or more community college course without tuition or fees. · SB 586 by Senator Richard Roth (D-Riverside) requires the governing board of a school and community college district to consult with the appropriate local workforce development board to ensure their career technical education program is aligned with regional and statewide employment needs.
