Heritage schools: electronic registration form.

Existing law requires every person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation operating a heritage school, as defined, to annually file an electronic registration form, under penalty of perjury, with the Superintendent of Public Instruction that includes, among other things, the address, including city and street, of every place of doing business of the person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation within the state. Existing law authorizes, whenever 2 or more heritage schools are under the effective control or supervision of a single administrative unit, the filing of one electronic registration form by the administrative unit on behalf of each of the schools under its control or supervision. This bill would instead require the electronic registration form to include the address, including city and street, of the location at which the heritage school delivers services to pupils. The bill would also require the electronic registration form to include an acknowledgment that the director of a heritage school and all employees are mandated reporters and subject to the requirements established by the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, and certification that (1) the employer is aware that it is encouraged to provide its employees with training in the duties imposed by the Child Abuse and Neglect Reporting Act, (2) employees have signed a statement provided by the employer that the employees have knowledge of the act and will comply with its provisions, and (3) employees have been notified by the employer of their reporting obligations and confidentiality rights pursuant to a specified provision. The bill would instead require, if 2 or more heritage schools are under the effective control of a single administrative unit, the administrative unit to submit an electronic registration form on behalf of every heritage school under its effective control or supervision.
