Notice of Intention to Amend the Conflict of Interest Code of the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence


NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that the California Collaborative for Educational Excellence (“CCEE”), pursuant to the authority vested in it by section 87306 of the Government Code, proposes amendment to its conflict of interest code. A comment period has been established commencing on February 14, 2025, and closing on March 31, 2025. All inquiries should be directed to the contact
listed below.


The CCEE proposes to amend its conflict of interest code to include employee positions that involve the making or participation in the making of decisions that may foreseeably have a material effect on any financial interest, as set forth in subdivision (a) of section 87302 of the Government Code. The amendment carries out the purposes of the law and no other alternative would do so and be less burdensome to affected persons.


Changes to the conflict of interest code include: (1) addition of two new positions–Executive Advisor and Senior Advisor positions each of which has disclosure categories 1, 2, 3, 4, (2) removal of the three Director positions which no longer exist, along with their disclosure categories–Director, Systems Improvement and Innovation; Director, Systems Improvement and Leadership Development; and Director, Continuous Improvement, and (3) revising the language defining “Administrative Agent” to be consistent with the relevant statute and requirements for selection and approval of the Administrative Agent.


The proposed amendment and explanation of the reasons can be obtained from the agency’s contact.


Any interested person may submit written comments relating to the proposed amendment by submitting them no later than March 31, 2025, or at the conclusion of the public hearing, if requested, whichever comes later. At this time, no public hearing is scheduled. A person may request a hearing
no later than March 16, 2025.

The CCEE has determined that the proposed amendments:

  1. Impose no mandate on local agencies or school districts.
    2. Impose no costs or savings on any state agency.
    3. Impose no costs on any local agency or school district that are required to be
    reimbursed under Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of
    the Government Code.
    4. Will not result in any nondiscretionary costs or savings to local agencies.
    5. Will not result in any costs or savings in federal funding to the state.
    6. Will not have any potential cost impact on private persons, businesses or small businesses.

All inquiries concerning this proposed amendment and any communication required by this notice should be directed to: Leighann Nguyen, Executive Assistant, (916) 619-7488, [email protected].
