"SACRAMENTO – Governor Schwarzenegger signed Senate Bill (SB) 2 (in the 5th Extraordinary Session), authored by State Senator Joe Simitian (D-Palo Alto). Senate Bill X5 2 expands and improves public access to Californias student performance data (CALPADS). The bill passed during a special session focused on enacting legislation to qualify California to compete for up to $700 million in federal 'Race to the Top' funding.
'This bill is a step in the right direction for our schools,' Simitian said. 'It makes us more competitive for federal funding, and it will ultimately help us use scarce resources in the best way possible.'"
