Senate Bill 777
A recent controversy has arisen over the passage and Governor’s signature of Senate Bill 777, which was to become effective January 1, 2008. The Poway Unified School District believes this new law contains nothing which was not previously covered under existing law and will not cause teachers or district programs to make any changes to current practices.
