I was a former Administrator at Calbright College (AKA California Online College), sadly my role ended. I saw students who needed accommodations never to secure them, but rather their leadership offered inadequate substitutions. Imagine sending your child with a disability to a public school, where resources should not be an issue, yet due to other personal agendas, your child's educational needs are neglected. I lost sleep over this, and I am sure you would too
Please share this with your fellow educators.
CA is spending millions on a failed community college.
If you can take a moment to write to your local legislators that would mean so much to me
ASSEMBLY BILL NO. 2820
(Find your legislatures ) https:findyourrep.legislature.ca.gov
Please write in for support of that bill to shut Calbright College (California Online Community College) down.
I support AB 2820. In just two years, fewer than 80 students have completed a certificate at Calbright College, California’s exclusively online, unaccredited community college. Currently there are 911 students enrolled. However, of the 911 Calbright’s officials did not disclose how many students are active in their programs nor have they answered why their enrollment period is 6 times the length of all other community colleges. Additionally, in the college’s last Mile Stone report, 43% of students have not completed any substantive activity in more then 90 days, yet they are not dropped.
California has allocated 60 million in one time funding with an additional 15 million of ongoing funding. I support section 75013 education code to redistribute Calbright Colleges funding to the other established accredited community colleges.
75013. (a) On or before January 1, 2024, the following sums of the college’s funding are hereby appropriated for the following purposes: (1) Five million dollars ($5,000,000) for increasing the number of single mothers and students with dependent children enrolling and attending community college by supporting the childcare of these students with dependent children. (2) ____ dollars ($____) for basic needs centers of the California Community Colleges. (3) ____ dollars ($____) for providing student housing for community college students. (4) All remaining funding, or the sum of ____ dollars ($____) for providing state financial aid to community college students. (b) This part shall become inoperative on January 1, 2024, and, as of January 1, 2025, is repealed.
