<P class="articletxt">In anticipation of a &quot;Year of  Educational Reform&quot; a number of studies and a great deal of research were set  in motion. Among those working at improving the educational condition was the  Superintendent of Public Education&#39;s P-16 Council.&nbsp; Their report on professional development  contained 10 recommendations.&nbsp; An  important, and often overlooked aspect of student achievement can be found in  their recommendation number seven:</P>
<P class="articletxt"><EM>The state agencies responsible for administrative credentialing should  require new administrators, as well as experienced school and district-level  leaders who are hired into new positions, to participate in publicity financed  leadership induction and support program for a minimum of two years.</EM></P>
<P class="articletxt">The $16 Billion deficit in the  state budget shortstopped the Governor&#39;s own Committee for Education Excellence&#39;s  recommendation to &quot;Expand and Strengthen Administrator Training&quot; <EM>&hellip;by allowing county superintendents&nbsp; and districts to provide &quot;Induction&quot; support  to administrators that is modeled after the successful Beginning teacher Support  and Assessment (BTSA) program.</EM></P>
<P class="articletxt">Every year brings hundreds of  proposed new laws that would impact education.&nbsp;  Last year was no different.&nbsp; Among  those that caught the eye was a Senate Bill written by Jack Scott.&nbsp; You will recall his omnibus education bill  (SB 1209) that brought about 30 changes in the law.&nbsp; Senator Scott is a very influential  legislator and his proposed legislation is taken seriously.</P>
<P class="articletxt">Last year his SB 961 offered  another powerful change in how we go about improving the quality of education  in California.&nbsp; The bill would establish a <STRONG>leadership coaching program for public  school administrators</STRONG>. As written, the state would allocate financial  support of $5,000 per year for each participating principal with the local  district contributing another $1,000.&nbsp; </P>
<P class="articletxt">Therein lies the rub&hellip;money.&nbsp; The cost factor caused this piece of  potential legislation to be buried in the Senate Appropriations Suspense  File&hellip;where it was. &nbsp;Ready and waiting. </P>
