60110. It is the intent of the Legislature that the State Board of
Education give high priority to the adoption of instructional
materials on alcohol, drug, and traffic safety education for
classroom use by teachers and pupils. The materials shall be designed
to assist the teacher in presenting instruction on alcohol, drug,
and traffic safety education and to meet the needs of pupils at their
respective grade levels. The materials shall be accurate, objective,
and current.

60111. The Department of Education shall establish an information
center of current alcohol, drug, and traffic safety education
materials which may be used by school districts and teachers for
instruction on alcohol, drug, and traffic safety education. The
information center shall include, but not be limited to, all the
following: current state and federal alcohol and drug laws, including
those related to traffic safety; samples of effective courses of
study, curriculum guides, teaching materials, and reference
materials; and reports of current and school district policies
related to alcohol, drug, and traffic safety education.

60115. (a) The State Department of Education shall assemble,
coordinate, and make available to the public schools and to private
driving schools in this state, upon request, for their use in driver
education programs, any relevant programs, materials, and information
prepared or compiled by the Governor's Intergovernmental Advisory
Committee on Alcohol, Drugs, and Traffic Safety.
(b) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allow to each
school district maintaining a high school, county superintendents of
schools, and the Department of the Youth Authority an amount not to
exceed one dollar ($1) per pupil instructed in driver education
during the preceding fiscal year. At least 50 percent of the funds
received pursuant to this subdivision shall be used for the purchase
of related instructional materials or for related in-service training
for teachers, or both. Funds to implement this subdivision shall be
provided when appropriated by the Legislature from the Driver
Training Penalty Assessment Fund.
