School accountability: local control and accountability plans: state priorities: pupil achievement.

Existing law requires the governing board of each school district and county board of education to adopt a local control and accountability plan and to update its respective local control and accountability plan before July 1 of each year. Existing law requires a local control and accountability plan to include, among other things, a description of the annual goals to be achieved for each state priority, as specified, for all pupils and certain subgroups of pupils. The state's delineated priorities include, among others, pupil achievement as measured by, and as applicable, among other things, the percentage of pupils who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University, or career technical education sequences or programs of study that align with State Board of Education-approved career technical education standards and frameworks, as prescribed. This bill instead would require school districts and county boards of education to measure pupil achievement in their respective local control and accountability plans by, and as applicable, among other things required by existing law, separate calculations for (1) the percentage of pupils who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University, (2) the percentage of pupils who have successfully completed courses that satisfy the requirements for career technical education sequences or programs of study that align with state board-approved career technical education standards and frameworks, as prescribed, and (3) the percentage of pupils who have successfully completed both types of courses described in (1) and (2) . To the extent this bill would impose additional duties on school districts and county boards of education in regard to local control and accountability plans, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 52060 of the Education Code proposed by AB 967 to be operative only if this bill and AB 967 are enacted and this bill is enacted last. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
