LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
(1)The Child Care and Development Services Act, administered by the State Department of Education, requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to administer childcare and development programs that offer a full range of services to eligible children from infancy to 13 years of age, inclusive. The act requires the Superintendent to administer all California state preschool programs, which include part-day age and developmentally appropriate programs for 3- and 4-year-old children, as provided. Existing law provides that 3- and 4-year-old children are eligible for the state part-day preschool program if the family meets specified eligibility requirements, including that the family needs childcare services for specified reasons.
This bill would require the Secretary of California Health and Human Services, in
concurrence with the executive director of the State Board of Education, and in consultation with the Superintendent, to prepare a report, or series of reports, on or before October 1, 2020, to be used to develop a master plan to ensure comprehensive, quality, and affordable childcare and universal preschool for children from birth to school age. The bill would establish a 27-member Early Childhood Policy Council with specified duties relating to statewide early learning and care policy.
The bill would make a family eligible for a full-day California state preschool program without meeting the requirements relating to the need for childcare services if all families meeting those requirements have been enrolled. The bill would, commencing January 1, 2020, and notwithstanding any other law, authorize a provider operating a state preschool program within the attendance boundary of a public school, except as provided, where at least 80% of enrolled pupils are eligible
for free or reduced-price meals, to enroll 4-year-old children meeting specified priorities. The bill would authorize any remaining slots to be open for enrollment to any other families otherwise not otherwise eligible, as provided.
(2)Existing law establishes the Child Care Facilities Revolving Fund in the State Treasury to provide funding for loans for the renovation, repair, or improvement of an existing building to make the building suitable for licensure for childcare and development services, and for the purchase of new relocatable childcare facilities for the lease to local educational agencies and contracting agencies that provide childcare and development services. Existing law requires that a local educational agency or a contracting agency using facilities purchased by the use of these funds be charged a leasing fee, as provided, over a 10-year period. Existing law requires title to be transferred from the state to the local
educational agency or contracting agency upon full repayment of the purchase and relocation costs. Existing law requires the Superintendent to deposit all revenue derived from the lease payments or renovation or repair loan repayments into the Child Care Facilities Revolving Fund.
This bill would make this program inoperative on January 1, 2020, except as provided. The bill would require the remaining moneys in the fund, as of December 31, 2019, to be allocated in a specified manner, including to the Early Learning and Care Infrastructure Grant Program, which this bill would establish. The bill would require the Superintendent to administer the grant program to expand access to early learning and care opportunities for children up to 5 years of age by providing resources to build new facilities or retrofit, renovate, or expand existing facilities, as provided. The bill would appropriate $142,705,000 from the General Fund to the State Department of Education for
these purposes, as provided. The bill would also require the Superintendent to administer the Early Learning and Care Workforce Development Grants Program, which the bill would establish, to expand the number of qualified early learning and care professionals and increase the educational credentials of existing early learning and care professionals across the state, as provided. The bill would appropriate $195,000,000 from the General Fund to the department for these purposes, as provided. The bill would require the Superintendent to provide annual reports on both grant programs to the Governor and the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature, as provided.
(3)The California Child Day Care Facilities Act provides for the licensure and regulation of family daycare homes by the State Department of Social Services. The Child Care and Development Services Act requires the Superintendent to administer childcare and development
programs that include, among others, resource and referral programs, alternative payment programs, and family childcare home education networks.
This bill would require the State Department of Education, the State Department of Social Services, and any other state department or agency administering a state-funded early care and education program, upon request from a provider organization, as defined, to immediately commence collecting personal information regarding any individual who has been a family childcare provider and make that information available to the provider organization, as specified. The bill would require those entities to remove that information from a list made available to a provider organization if a family childcare provider makes a written request to remove it. The bill would prohibit public disclosure of the personal information of family childcare providers under the California Public Records Act except for specified purposes, including the
purpose described above. The bill would appropriate $10,000,000 from the General Fund to the Controller for these purposes, to be allocated to the State Department of Education, the State Department of Social Services, the Department of Human Resources, and the Public Employment Relations Board according to a schedule provided by the Department of Finance.
Existing constitutional provisions require that a statute that limits the right of access to the meetings of public bodies or the writings of public officials and agencies be adopted with findings demonstrating the interest protected by the limitation and the need for protecting that interest.
This bill would make legislative findings to that effect.
(4)Existing law establishes the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, which is maintained by the State
Department of Education and consists of pupil data regarding demographic, program participation, enrollment, and statewide assessments.
This bill would establish the California Cradle-to-Career Data System Workgroup, composed of representatives of specified entities, to provide assessment, recommendations, and advice about statewide data infrastructure that integrates data from state entities responsible for elementary and secondary education data, entities responsible for early learning data, segments of public higher education, private colleges and universities, state entities responsible for student financial aid, childcare providers, state labor and workforce development agencies, and state departments administering health and human services programs. The bill would require the Director of State Planning and Research, or the director’s designee, to lead the workgroup.
The bill would require the Office of Planning and
Research to contract with entities with expertise in managing data for specified purposes relating to the workgroup’s activities. The bill would require those contracted entities to report to the Department of Finance and the Legislature (A) by July 1, 2020, on the proposed structure of the data system, including, but not limited to, the entity charged with managing the data system, the architecture of the data system, and the information that will be available on the data system, (B) by October 1, 2020, on the progress on preparing specific recommendations regarding the data system, and (C) by January 1, 2021, specified recommendations regarding the data system. The bill, by the 2020–21 academic year, would require the Office of the Chancellor of the California State University and the Office of the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, and would request the University of California, to identify and track currently and newly enrolled students, and, to the extent feasible, prospectively identify
and track each applicant for admission, in their respective data systems with the statewide student identifier assigned to pupils in the data system maintained by the department for each student who attended a local educational agency in California in a manner that maximizes efficiencies and limits the need for multiple memoranda of understanding.
The bill would appropriate $10,000,000 to the Office of Planning and Research for these purposes, as provided.
(5)Existing law requires the Controller to draw warrants on the State Treasury in favor of the county treasurer of each county at specified times in each fiscal year, as prescribed, so as to provide in each warrant a portion of the total amount certified by the Superintendent of Public Instruction as apportioned under specified programs from the State School Fund to the school districts and charter schools under the jurisdiction of the county
superintendent of schools of that county, to the county school service fund, and to the county school tuition fund of that county.
This bill would require state moneys appropriated in support of those specified programs to be transferred to Section A of the State School Fund for allocation in the amount and manner specified for each program, and would require those moneys to be applied to meet certain requirements of the California Constitution. The bill would prohibit state moneys appropriated in support of all other elementary and secondary education programs from being transferred to Section A of the State School Fund, but would deem those state moneys as transferred to Section A of the State School Fund and applied to meet the same requirements of the California Constitution.
(6)Existing law, the Full-Day Kindergarten Facilities Grant Program, appropriates $100,000,000 for the 2018–19 fiscal year
from the General Fund to the State Allocation Board to provide one-time grants to school districts to construct new school facilities or retrofit existing school facilities for the purpose of providing full-day kindergarten classrooms, as specified.
This bill would appropriate $300,000,000 for the 2019–20 fiscal year from the General Fund to the State Allocation Board to provide one-time grants for purposes of the program.
(7)Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district or a county board of education to request the State Board of Education to waive all or part of any section of the Education Code or any regulation adopted by the state board that implements a provision of the Education Code that may be waived, except for specified provisions.
This bill would prohibit the waiver of specified provisions relating to funding for county offices
of education and charter schools.
(8)Existing law authorizes the Big Sur Unified School District, the Leggett Valley Unified School District, and the Reeds Creek Elementary School District to operate one or more schools in their respective school districts on a 4-day school week if the school district complies with specified requirements, including instructional time requirements. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to reduce specified funding apportionments to those school districts if they fail to comply with the instructional time requirements.
This bill would revise those instructional time penalty provisions and would prohibit the imposition of any instructional time penalties that accrued for the 2016–17 fiscal year to the 2018–19 fiscal year, inclusive, for those school districts.
This bill would make
legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Big Sur Unified School District, the Leggett Valley Unified School District, and the Reeds Creek Elementary School District.
(9)Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution sets forth a formula for computing the minimum amount of revenues that the state is required to appropriate for the support of school districts and community college districts for each fiscal year. Existing law specifies that funds appropriated for part-day California state preschool programs apply toward that minimum funding obligation, as provided.
This bill would instead specify that only funds appropriated to local educational agencies for part-day California state preschool programs apply toward the minimum funding obligation.
If the Director of Finance determines that, for
the 2018–19 fiscal year, the state has applied moneys for the support of school districts and community college districts in an amount that exceeds the minimum funding obligation required for the 2018–19 fiscal year, this bill would require the excess, up to $368,355,000, to be deemed a payment in satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation in the 2009–10 fiscal year.
(10)For the 1990–91 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, existing law requires that moneys to be applied by the state for the support of school districts, community college districts, and direct elementary and secondary level instructional services provided by the state be distributed in accordance with certain calculations governing the proration of those moneys among the 3 segments of public education. Existing law makes that provision inapplicable to the 1992–93 to 2018–19 fiscal years, inclusive.
This bill would also make that provision inapplicable to the 2019–20 fiscal year.
(11)Existing law sets forth the maximum ratios of administrative employees to each 100 teachers in the various types of school districts, and requires the Superintendent to determine the reduction in state support resulting from excess administrative employees, as provided.
This bill would exempt a school district with average daily attendance of more than 400,000 as of the 2016–17 2nd principal apportionment from any reduction in state support resulting from excess administrative employees from the 2019–20 through the 2021–22 fiscal years.
This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Los Angeles Unified School District.
(12)Existing law authorizes a school district, county superintendent of schools, or consortium of those entities to establish an administrator training and evaluation program, as provided.
This bill would establish the 21st Century California School Leadership Academy to organize and offer professional learning opportunities for administrators and other school leaders and to provide grants to local educational agencies, institutions of higher education, and nonprofit educational services providers in a manner that ensures the availability of professional learning, free of charge, to certain local educational agencies, as provided.
(13)This bill would establish the Classified School Employee Summer Assistance Program and would appropriate $36,000,000 to the Controller for allocation by the State Department of Education for purposes of the
program. The bill would authorize local educational agencies to elect to participate in the program, and would authorize a classified employee of a participating local educational agency who meets specified requirements to withhold an amount from the employee’s monthly paycheck during the school year to be paid out during the summer recess period, as provided. The bill would require the department to apportion funds to participating local educational agencies to provide a participating classified employee up to $1 for each $1 that a participating classified employee elects to have withheld. The bill would require the participating local educational agency to pay the participating classified employee the amounts withheld in accordance with the classified employee’s choices, plus the amount apportioned by the department, as specified.
(14)For purposes of state apportionments, if the average daily attendance of a school district, county office of
education, or charter school during a fiscal year has been materially decreased during a fiscal year because of an emergency, existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to estimate the average daily attendance in a manner that credits to the school district, county office of education, or charter school the total average daily attendance that would have been credited had the emergency not occurred.
This bill would require the Superintendent to make specified calculations for purposes of state apportionments to a school district, county office of education, or charter school affected by the state of emergency declared by the Governor in November 2018. The bill would continuously appropriate the amounts necessary to provide those apportionments.
The bill would require a basic aid school district that experiences a decrease in local property tax revenues as a result of the state of emergency declared by the
Governor in November 2018 to be reimbursed from the General Fund for losses experienced in the 2018–19 and 2019–20 fiscal years, as provided.
(15)The Charter Schools Act of 1992 authorizes the establishment and operation of charter schools.
This bill would prohibit a charter school from discouraging any pupil from enrolling or seeking to enroll in the charter school for any reason, and would also prohibit a charter school from encouraging any pupil currently attending the charter school to disenroll from the charter school or transfer to another school for any reason.
(16)Existing law requires governing boards of school districts, county boards of education, and charter schools to adopt and annually update a local control and accountability plan, as provided. Existing law requires the governing board of a school district and a county
board of education to hold at least one public hearing regarding its local control and accountability plan or annual update to the local control and accountability plan. Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district and the county superintendent of schools to adopt revisions to a local control and accountability plan during the period it is in effect and requires those revisions to be adopted in a public meeting.
This bill would apply the public hearing and meeting provisions to charter schools. By requiring charter schools to hold a public hearing or meeting as part of its adoption, update, or revision of a local control and accountability plan, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(17)Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for school districts and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding
formula, as specified. Existing law requires funding pursuant to the local control funding formula to include, in addition to a base grant, supplemental and concentration grant add-ons, as specified. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to make specified calculations for each school district and charter school for the transition to the local control funding formula. Existing law requires, commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, a school district or charter school to receive a minimum amount of state-aid funding, as provided.
Existing law requires a sponsoring local educational agency to annually transfer to each of its charter schools funding in lieu of property taxes, as specified. Existing law requires, if the funding transferred in lieu of property taxes exceeds the calculations for the transition to the local control funding formula, the excess funding to offset the minimum amount of state-aid funding for the charter school.
This bill would revise the definition of sponsoring local educational agency. The bill would instead require, if the funding transferred in lieu of property taxes exceeds the sum of the amounts of the charter school’s local control funding formula supplemental and concentration grants, as adjusted, the excess funding to offset the minimum amount of state-aid funding for the charter school.
(18)If 15% or more of the pupils enrolled in a public school that provides instruction in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, speak a single primary language other than English, existing law requires all notices, reports, statements, or records sent to the parent or guardian of any such pupil by the school or school district to be written in English and the primary language, and authorizes the parent or guardian to respond either in English or the primary language.
This bill would apply those provisions to charter schools. By requiring charter schools to provide certain notices, reports, statements, or records to be written in English and a primary language other than English, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(19)Existing law requires the superintendent of a school district to post on the homepage of the internet website of the school district any local control and accountability plan approved by the governing board of the school district. Existing law requires a county superintendent of schools to post all local control and accountability plans submitted by school districts, or links to those plans, on the internet website of the county office of education. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to post links to all local control and accountability plans approved by the governing boards of school districts and county
boards of education on the internet website of the department.
This bill would also require the superintendent of a school district, county superintendent of schools, and Superintendent to post or link to the local control and accountability plans of charter schools in the same manner as described above, as specified. By requiring local educational agencies to post additional information on their internet websites, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
(20)Existing law creates within the State Department of Education an agricultural career technical education unit to assist school districts in establishing and maintaining career technical education programs in agriculture, as provided.
This bill would establish within the unit the position of Assistant State Supervisor of Agricultural Career Technical Education, and would require the Assistant
State Supervisor of Agricultural Career Technical Education to assume responsibility for the coordination of the state program of agricultural career technical education, as provided. The bill would require an appropriate number of employees of the department to serve as regional program consultants in agricultural career technical education, and would specify the duties of a regional program consultant.
(21)Existing law establishes the California Career Technical Education Incentive Grant Program, administered by the State Department of Education, with the purpose of encouraging and maintaining the delivery of high-quality career technical education programs. Existing law requires the department to award competitive grants under the program to a school district, county office of education, charter school, or regional occupational center or program operated by a joint powers authority, or any combination of those entities, if the entity or
combination of entities meets certain requirements, including providing a local funding match. Existing law prohibits using funding from certain sources for the local funding match.
Existing law establishes the Strong Workforce Program and a K–12 component of the Strong Workforce Program for purposes of creating, supporting, or expanding high-quality career technical education programs at the K–12 level that are aligned with the workforce development efforts occurring through the community college component of the program. Existing law authorizes a school district, county office of education, charter school, or regional occupational center or program operated by a joint powers authority, or any combination of those entities, to apply for a grant under the program if the entity or combination of entities meets certain requirements, including providing a local funding match. Existing law prohibits using funding from certain sources for the local funding match.
This bill would make a regional occupational center or program operated by a county office of education eligible for a grant under both of these programs. The bill would prohibit using funding from the Career Technical Education Facilities Program for the local funding match for both of these programs.
(22)Existing law requires every school district to submit to the Superintendent of Public Instruction a local plan for the education of all individuals with exceptional needs either on its own, in conjunction with one or more school districts, or with the county office of education, as specified. Existing law requires, commencing July 1, 2020, each local plan to include an annual assurances support plan, as provided.
This bill would instead require each local plan to include an annual assurances support plan commencing July 1, 2021.
(23)Existing law provides for the calculation of apportionments to fund the provision of special education instruction and services for pupils who qualify for these programs.
This bill would revise certain special education apportionment calculations for the 2019–20 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter. The bill would establish the Special Education Early Intervention Preschool Grant, which would require the Superintendent, in any year moneys are appropriated for this purpose, to allocate grant funding to school districts for preschool children with exceptional needs, as provided.
(24)Existing law requires the Superintendent, commencing with the 2004–05 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, to make certain calculations for, and the State Department of Education to apportion certain amounts to, special education local plan
areas, as provided, with respect to children and youth residing in foster family homes, small family homes, foster family agencies, group homes, skilled nursing facilities, intermediate care facilities, and community care facilities. Existing law requires the department to calculate an out-of-home care funding amount for each special education local plan area, as provided, for each fiscal year. Existing law, for purposes of the out-of-home care funding amount for group homes, foster family homes, small family homes, and foster family agencies in the 2017–18 and 2018–19 fiscal years, requires the Superintendent to use the data received from the State Department of Social Services that was used for the funding for the 2016–17 fiscal year.
This bill would require the Superintendent to also use the data that was used for the funding for the 2016–17 fiscal year for purposes of the 2019–20 fiscal year out-of-home care funding amount.
(25)Existing law requires, as a condition of receiving specified state and federal funding, a local educational agency to ensure that each school of the local educational agency that operates specified programs consolidates any plans that are required by those programs into a single plan, known as the School Plan for Student Achievement (SPSA). Existing law authorizes single school districts and charter schools to use the local control and accountability plan to serve as the SPSA, as provided.
This bill would authorize single school districts and charter schools to use the local control and accountability plan to serve as the SPSA only if the local control and accountability plan is adopted at a public hearing.
(26)Existing law establishes the Student Aid Commission as the primary state agency for the administration of state-authorized
student financial aid programs available to students attending all segments of postsecondary education.
This bill, subject to an appropriation of moneys by the Legislature, would establish the Golden State Teacher Grant Program under the administration of the commission to provide a grant to each student enrolled in an approved teacher credentialing program who commits to working in a high-need field at a priority school for 4 years after the student receives a preliminary teaching credential, as provided. The bill would require a grant recipient to agree to repay the grant to the state in specified circumstances.
(27)Existing law requires certain funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act for reimbursement for the cost of a new program or increased level of service of an existing program mandated by statute or executive order to be available as a block grant to school districts, charter schools, and
county offices of education to support specified state-mandated local programs, as provided.
This bill would add specified requirements relating to pupil applications for financial aid pursuant to the Ortiz-Pacheco-Poochigian-Vasconcellos Cal Grant Program to the list of programs and activities that are authorized for block grant funding.
(28)Existing law establishes the Investment in Mental Health Wellness Act of 2013. Existing law provides that funds appropriated by the Legislature to the California Health Facilities Financing Authority for the purposes of the act be made available to selected counties or counties acting jointly, and used to provide, among other things, a complete continuum of crisis services for children and youth 21 years of age and under regardless of where they live in the state. The act requires grant awards made by the authority to be used to expand local resources for the
development, capital, equipment acquisition, and applicable program startup or expansion costs to increase capacity for client assistance and services generally and for client assistance and crisis services for children and youth 21 years of age and under in specified areas.
This bill would establish the Mental Health Student Services Act as a mental health partnership competitive grant program for the purpose of establishing mental health partnerships between a county’s mental health or behavioral health departments and school districts, charter schools, and the county office of education within the county, as provided.
(29)Existing law requires each school district or county superintendent of schools maintaining kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, and, commencing with the 2019–20 school year, each charter school, to provide each needy pupil with one nutritionally adequate free or
reduced-price meal during each schoolday. Existing law authorizes a school district or county office of education, in order to comply with that requirement, to use funds made available through any federal or state program the purpose of which includes the provision of meals to a pupil, including, among other programs, the federal School Breakfast Program.
This bill would establish the Breakfast After the Bell Program, to be administered by the State Department of Education, for the purpose of awarding grants to school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education for schoolsite breakfast after the bell programs that provide breakfast to pupils after the schoolday has begun. The bill would establish criteria for awarding grants.
(30)This bill would appropriate $2,000,000 from the General Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for allocation to the Southern California Regional
Occupational Center for instructional and operating costs for the 2019–20 fiscal year, and would condition the receipt of this money on the Southern California Regional Occupational Center submitting an updated operational plan to the Department of Finance and the Legislative Analyst’s Office.
(31)This bill would appropriate $350,000 from the General Fund to the State Department of Education for the 2019–20 fiscal year to support the alignment and integration of the online platforms supporting the California School Dashboard, the Local Control and Accountability Plan Electronic Template System, and the School Accountability Report Card, as provided. The bill would appropriate $178,000 in the 2019–20 fiscal year and $154,000 in each fiscal year thereafter for the maintenance and support of the California School Dashboard and the School Accountability Report Card.
(32)The
Community Redevelopment Law authorized the establishment of redevelopment agencies in communities to address the effects of blight, as defined. Existing law dissolved redevelopment agencies as of February 1, 2012, and provides for the designation of successor agencies, as defined. Existing law requires successor agencies to wind down the affairs of the dissolved redevelopment agencies. Existing law requires a successor agency to, among other things, continue to make payments due for enforceable obligations, remit unencumbered balances to the county auditor-controller for distribution, and dispose of assets, as directed.
This bill would, on or before June 30, 2020, appropriate an amount to be determined by the Director of Finance from the General Fund to the Superintendent in augmentation of a certain item in the Budget Act of 2019. The bill would make these funds available only to the extent that revenues distributed to local educational agencies for special
education programs from successor agencies are less than the estimated amount determined by the Director of Finance. The bill would require, on or before June 30, 2020, the Director of Finance to determine if the revenues distributed to local educational agencies for special education programs from successor agencies exceed the estimated amount reflected in the Budget Act of 2019 and, if so, would require the Director of Finance to reduce the specified appropriation in the Budget Act of 2019 by the amount of that excess.
(33)This bill would appropriate $3,009,000 from the General Fund and $607,000 from the Educational Telecommunication Fund to the State Department of Education for the 2019–20 fiscal year for allocation to the Kern County superintendent of schools for the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team for the Standardized Account Code Structure system replacement project.

(36)This bill would appropriate $4,000,000 from the General Fund to the
State Department of Education for the 2019–20 fiscal year. The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to allocate these funds to the Special Olympics of Northern and Southern California for purposes of specified programs.

This bill would specify that those appropriations shall be applied toward the minimum funding requirements for school districts and community college districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the 2018–19 fiscal year.
(38)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.
