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

Existing law requires the governing board of each school district to adopt a local control and accountability plan and requires the governing board of a school district to update its 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 pupil achievement to be measured by, and as applicable, among other things required by existing law, the percentage of pupils who have successfully completed (1) courses that satisfy the requirements for entrance to the University of California and the California State University; (2) career technical education sequences or programs of study that align with state board-approved career technical education standards and frameworks, as prescribed; or (3) to the extent possible, both (1) and (2) . To the extent this bill would impose additional duties on school districts 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 SB 874, AB 1840, and AB 2878, to be operative only if this bill and one or more of those bills 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.
