69521. (a) The Legislature finds and declares both of the following:
(1) The student loan guarantee business is not a core mission of government. Recognition of this fact led, in 1996, to the approval of the establishment of an auxiliary organization for the purpose of providing operational and administrative services for the Student Aid Commission’s participation in the Federal Family Education Loan Program.
(2) Pursuant to that authority, an auxiliary organization was established to provide, pursuant to contract, certain services to the Student Aid Commission.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the value of the auxiliary organization’s arrangement with the Student Aid Commission and the Student Aid Commission’s participation in the Federal Family Education Loan Program be maximized through either of the following:
(1) The sale of the state’s interest in the student loan guarantee portfolio of the Student Aid Commission and certain related assets and liabilities of the student loan guarantee program operated by the Student Aid Commission, to a firm approved to act as a state student loan guarantee agency for the Federal Family Education Loan Program by the Secretary of Education.
(2) The entry into an arrangement for the operation of the state student loan guarantee program by an entity meeting the financial and compliance standards established for the Federal Family Education Loan Program.

69612. (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:
(1) The growing shortage of high-quality teachers is most serious in particular subject areas, partly due to the shortage of students in these fields who enter the teaching profession.
(2) Many school districts have difficulty recruiting and retaining high-quality teachers for schools ranked in decile 1 or 2 on the Academic Performance Index, for pupils with special needs, for schools serving rural areas or large populations of pupils from low-income and linguistic minority families, and for schools with a high percentage of teachers holding emergency-type permits.
(3) The rising costs of higher education, coupled with a shift in available financial aid from scholarships and grants to loans, make the availability of financial aid and loan repayment assistance options an important consideration in a student’s decision to pursue a postsecondary education.
(b) It is, therefore, the intent of the Legislature that the Assumption Program of Loans for Education be designed to provide veteran teachers and outstanding postsecondary students, particularly economically disadvantaged students, with the assurance of financial assistance to encourage them to complete postsecondary education programs leading to teaching credentials, and to seek employment as teachers in designated subject-matter shortage areas or in schools serving a large population of pupils from low-income families, schools with a high percentage of teachers holding emergency-type permits, or schools ranked in the lowest two deciles on the Academic Performance Index.
