Education Code sections 8150–8156 (Outside Source)
Article 8 on apprenticeship education was added to the California
Education Code in 1980 and contains authorizations and
procedures for the CDE and participating local education agencies
to follow in the administration of apprenticeship related and
supplemental instruction. Procedures explained include the reporting
of attendance and reimbursement of instructional time at the rate
designated in the annual Budget Act. Initial additions to this
section in the code were made in 1983 and include provisions for
the development of agreements and an annual review of enrollment
and funding levels.
The annual Budget Act in California designates statewide terms and funding for apprenticeship related and supplementary instruction. The Budget Act includes control language that requires the CDE to survey and report on costs of related and supplementary instruction funding. The hourly reimbursement rate is also designated in the Budget Act.
