Pupil achievement: California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.

Existing law requires the State Department of Education to contract for the development of proposals that will provide for the retention and analysis of longitudinal pupil achievement data on the STAR Program, English language development tests, and the high school exit examination, known as the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. This bill would require the department to allocate specified funding, subject to funds being appropriated in the annual Budget Act, as part of a local data management support program, to local educational agencies and direct-funded charter schools that complete specified acts. Local educational agencies and direct-funded charter schools would be limited in the use of these funds for specified activities.
