Sen. Christopher Cabaldon is working to unite all of Yolo County’s schools into one community college district with SB 226, which passed the Senate Education Committee Wednesday on a 5-0 vote.

A bill by Sen. Christopher Cabaldon that aims to make it easier for California universities to offer their courses online to out-of-state students passed its first committee Monday. Members of the Senate Business, Professions, and Economic Development Committee voted 11-0 in favor of SB 790, which authorizes the governor to join an interstate reciprocity agreement with other states to offer classes virtually to students in those states. California is currently the only state that does not belong to the existing State Authorization Reciprocity Agreement. This disconnect means students in other states often don’t get to take advantage of the world-class instruction offered by California’s UCs, CSUs, and private universities.
