Cal. Code Regs. tit. 5 § 56800

Current through Register 2024 Notice Reg. No. 52, December 27, 2024

Section 56800 - Purpose

The purpose of the Rising Scholars Network is to encourage the enrollment, retention, and success of justice-involved students in the California Community Colleges through a program that provides education and services that promote academic success. Providing this education and support to justice-involved students in California's community colleges serves a significant governmental and public interest, namely reduced recidivism and reduced poverty among Californians who have been involved in the criminal justice system. To achieve these goals, the Rising Scholars Network is built around three broad principles:

(1) on-site programming in prisons, county jails, juvenile facilities and at community and alternative schools;

(2) supported transition to college campuses upon release; and

(3) college buy-in and commitment to program success.
