Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and secondary education in this state. Under this system, local educational agencies throughout the state provide instruction and other services to pupils in kindergarten and in grades 1 to 12, inclusive. Existing law establishes various state commissions and committees with responsibilities relating to this system, including the Educational Management and Evaluation Commission. Existing law establishes the commission to assist and advise the State Board of Education in the evaluation of the program achievement of educational programs, in the determination of the relative cost-effectiveness of educational programs, and in the making of recommendations concerning the expanded use, modification, or replacement of educational programs so as to produce a higher degree of program achievement and cost-effectiveness. This bill would delete provisions establishing the commission and other related provisions.
This measure would urge the federal Office of Management and Budget to update its Uniform Guidance in order to improve job creation, quality, and equity.
This measure would recognize the month of January 2024 as National Human Trafficking Awareness Month.
This measure would designate, in perpetuity, the 4th week of January as Data Privacy Week and the last Sunday of January as Data Privacy Day.
Existing law requires the department to disseminate specified information pertaining to an applicant's convictions, arrests, sex offender registration status, and sentencing information whenever the department, as a result of an application, furnishes state or federal criminal history information for employment, licensing, or certification purposes. This bill would also require the department to provide this disseminated information to the governing board of a school district. When requesting a criminal record summary for a temporary, substitute, or probationary certificated employee, existing law requires the governing board of a school district to submit 2 fingerprint cards together with a personal description and fee to the Department of Justice. For an employee having direct contact with minors, this bill would require a governing board of a school district to submit to the department fingerprint images and related information, as specified. By requiring additional duties of local school boards, this bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
