THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 1790 of the Education Code is amended to read:
   1790.   (a)    The Legislature finds and
declares: (1) that young people who have dropped out of high school,
thereby failing to receive a minimum education, are faced with
limited opportunities and employment barriers because of their lack
of training and skills; (2) that  such   these
 young people comprise a  disproportionatel y 
 disproportionately  large segment of the unemployed or
unemployables in this state; (3) that  such  
these  young people are disproportionately involved in juvenile
delinquency and youth offenses; (4) that  such  
these  young people comprise a disproportionate share of those
on the welfare rolls; (5) that there is an increasing shortage of the
skilled and trained workers needed because of rapid technological
change; (6) that many  such   of th  
ese  young people by aptitude are not suited for purely academic
studies; (7) that many  such   of these 
young people would benefit from technical, agricultural  , 
and natural resource conservation training so as to become
independent, productive workers; and (8) that  such 
technical, agricultural  ,  and natural resource
conservation training would provide skilled workers needed by our
rapidly developing technology. 
    It 
    (b)     It  is the intent and purpose
of the Legislature to encourage the establishment of technical,
agricultural  ,  and natural resource conservation schools
in those areas of the state where they are needed in order to reduce
the number of school dropouts, combat juvenile delinquency, and to
provide more skilled and trained workers.  The provisions of
this   This  article shall be liberally construed
to carry out these intents and purposes.
