Quick answers

What is CA AB 860 about?

Existing law requires school districts, county superintendents of schools, and charter schools to adopt and update a local control and accountability plan (LCAP) using a template adopted by the State Board of Education that requires an LCAP to include certain information, including, among other information, (1) a description of the annual goals to be achieved for specified state priorities, including, among others, pupil achievement and pupil outcomes, (2) a description of the specific actions that the local educational agency will take during each year of the LCAP to achieve these goals, and (3) an assessment of the effectiveness of the specific actions described in the existing LCAP toward achieving the goals, as provided. Existing law requires a school district, not later than 5 days after adoption of an LCAP or annual update to an LCAP, to file the LCAP or annual update to the LCAP with the county superintendent of schools. Existing law authorizes the county superintendent of schools to seek clarification regarding the LCAP or update to the LCAP and to submit recommendations for amendments to the school district regarding the LCAP or update to the LCAP. Existing law requires the governing board of the school district to consider the recommendations submitted by the county superintendent of schools, as specified. This bill would, for school districts that have been identified for certain technical assistance, instead require the county superintendent of schools to submit recommendations, in writing, for amendments to the LCAP or annual update to the LCAP. By imposing additional duties on local educational agencies and officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. 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.
