Interscholastic athletics: California Interscholastic Federation: racial discrimination, harassment, or hazing.

Existing law describes the California Interscholastic Federation as a voluntary organization that consists of school and school-related personnel with responsibility for administering interscholastic athletic activities in secondary schools, and sets forth the Legislature's intent regarding the California Interscholastic Federation's implementation of certain policies. Existing law requires the California Interscholastic Federation, on or before January 1, 2023, and on or before January 1 every 7 years thereafter, to report to the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature and the Governor on its evaluation and accountability activities undertaken pursuant to specified provisions. Upon receiving a report from the California Interscholastic Federation, existing law requires the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature to hold a joint hearing, and requires the California Interscholastic Federation to testify on information in the report, as provided. This bill would require the California Interscholastic Federation to, during years in which the California Interscholastic Federation is not required to submit a report, and at the request of the appropriate policy committees of the Legislature, make itself available for hearings regarding the information that is covered by the report. The bill would require the State Department of Education, on or before January 1, 2025, to develop, in consultation with relevant stakeholders, a standardized incident form to track racial discrimination, harassment, or hazing, as defined, that occurs at high school sporting games or sporting events, and annually report the information from completed incident forms on the department's internet website, as provided. The bill would require a school district, county office of education, or charter school that participates in the California Interscholastic Federation to, on or before April 1, 2025, post the standardized incident form on its internet website and upon request by the department, submit information related to any completed standardized incident forms received by that local educational agency.
