LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 398, as amended, Chu.
School accountability: local control and accountability plans: visual and performing arts.
(1) 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 a description of the annual goals to be achieved for each of the state’s delineated priorities, as specified, for all pupils and certain subgroups of pupils, and a description of the specific actions the school district will take during each year of the local control and accountability plan to achieve the identified goals. The state’s delineated priorities include, among others, the extent to which pupils have access to, and are enrolled in, a broad course of study that includes all of the subject areas described in the adopted course of study
for grades 1 to 6, inclusive, including visual and performing arts.
This bill would require a school district to highlight in its local control and accountability plan the access to required instruction and course offerings, as applicable, in visual and performing arts for pupils enrolled in kindergarten and any of grades 1 to 6, inclusive, as applicable, when describing the annual goals to be achieved for the state priority specified above. The bill would require a school district to submit enrollment and completion data specifically related to visual and performing arts using existing state course codes for pupils enrolled in kindergarten and any of grades 1 to 6, inclusive, as applicable, through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS) to support the information provided under these provisions and to promote public awareness of offered instruction in arts education. By imposing additional requirements on school districts, the bill
would impose a state-mandated local program.
(2) Existing law establishes CALPADS and requires a local educational agency to retain all data necessary to compile reports required by a specified federal law, including, but not limited to, dropout and graduation rates. Existing law requires CALPADS to be used to accomplish certain goals, and that it have, among other things, the capability to be expanded to include pupil achievement data from multiple years.
The bill would require the department, whenever the department updates upon the next update to CALPADS, to consider designing CALPADS to incorporate elementary pupil enrollment
and completion data for visual and performing arts. arts into CALPADS.
(3) 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.
