California · 2025-2026 Regular Session · lower
Description
Existing law establishes the State Department of Education under the administration of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and assigns to the department numerous responsibilities relating to the governance of the public elementary and secondary schools in the state. This bill would require the department, on or before October 1, 2027, to create and post to its internet website a standardized template, as specified, for use by school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools when completing programmatic or expenditure reports for competitive state grant programs, except as provided. In drafting the template, the bill would require the department to ensure that the template creates reporting efficiencies for local educational agencies and schools that receive state grants and to consult relevant stakeholders involved in local educational agency reporting, as specified. The bill would require the department, on or before October 1, 2027, to submit the template to the Legislature, as provided, and, commencing January 1, 2028, to issue the template to local educational agencies as part of the notice of award information, and again 6 months before the final report due date, and to prepopulate certain administrative information of those local educational agencies. Existing law requires a bill that requires a state agency to submit a report on any subject to either house of the Legislature, a committee or office of either house of the Legislature, or the Legislative Counsel Bureau, to include a provision that repeals the reporting requirement, or makes the requirement inoperative, no later than a date 4 years following the operative date of the bill or 4 years after the due date of any report required every 4 or more years. Existing law requires the Legislative Counsel, in drafting a bill or amendment that includes a reporting requirement as described above, to include a provision repealing the reporting requirement or making the requirement inoperative, as specified, unless directed to do otherwise. This bill, beginning January 1, 2027, would (1) require a bill that would require a school district, county office of education, or charter school to complete a plan or report to include a provision that repeals the planning or reporting requirement, or makes the requirement inoperative, no later than 4 years following the bill's operative date if the planning or reporting requirement has an undefined end date, or 4 years after the final due date of any plan or report and (2) require the Legislative Counsel to include a provision in that bill repealing the planning or reporting requirement or making the requirement inoperative, as specified, unless directed to do otherwise. The bill would require, beginning January 1, 2028, the Legislative Counsel, in drafting a bill or amendment that imposes a new programmatic or expenditure reporting requirement for competitive state grant programs on a local educational agency, except as provided, to include a provision that requires the final programmatic or expenditure report be submitted using the template created by the department, as described above, unless directed to do otherwise.
