Fw: [elchorro] Urgent: support AB 811 by July 12

Kristen Pursley All Messages By This Member #233 Hi everyone, AB11 (Fong) goes before the California Senate Education Committee on July 12, and it needs our support. This bill would allow students to repeat community college courses they need to graduate.? The current laws which disallow repetition create a barrier, especially for ESL students, first generation students and adult learners.? A sample letter and contact information for the committee appears below. Please share this widely. Let's get the word out.

Donna Frankel All Messages By This Member #234 Hi Linda, In case I am not allowed to send to these two groups, I am sending to you to disperse, please. Thank you all so much for your advocacy and?for including other?faculty! This bill will assist older adults who want to take and retake courses in the arts, languages,PE. memoir writing, etc. Sometimes people find it easier to have a template to cut and paste. If any of the following resonates?with you, please feel free to use and or tweak it to suit. Then send it off to: "As a proud faculty member of the California Community Colleges, I am writing to request that you support AB 811 (Fong). If passed, this bill would help close the opportunity gaps present in education by providing consistent access for students to engage in courses, as well as additional opportunities to achieve better academic outcomes. This bill is an important recommitment to the promise of community colleges as “open access institutions”. Approximately 62% of community college students are part-time. As a result, these students frequently have responsibilities outside of school that require their attention, which may hinder their ability to succeed in specific courses. AB 811 would allow these students to retake courses in which they have previously received a poor grade up to 5 times and up to 3 times for courses in which they received a satisfactory grade. It is important to pass legislation that reaffirms the importance of supporting nontraditional students– a significant population that the California Community Colleges serve. AB 811 also recognizes the importance of allowing students to retake courses for enrichment and skill-building purposes. Specifically, this bill would positively impact enrollment in the arts, languages, and physical education courses.? AB 811 would cement these opportunities and increase the accessibility of higher education to students who disproportionately face barriers. It also reinforces the importance of all disciplines of study and contributes to a thriving educational environment. Thus, I strongly encourage you to vote AYE on AB 811." Donna Frankel Sending this out to nearly everyone I know who teaches. AB 811 (Fong), the bill FACCC is co-sponsoring about credit course repetition, is going to the Senate Education committee on July 12th, and we need to make sure it passes!
