LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1016, as amended, Wyland. School facilities: State
Allocation Board. Pupil instruction: common core
academic content standards and curriculum frameworks.
(1) Existing law appropriates $1,250,000,000, from the General
Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for transfer to
Section A of the State School Fund to support the integration of
academic content standards in instruction, as specified, and requires
the Superintendent to apportion these funds to school districts,
county offices of education, charter schools, and the state special
schools using an equal rate per pupil based on prior year enrollment.
Existing law, among other things, requires the school districts,
county offices of education, charter schools, or state special
schools receiving these funds to use them for certain purposes,
including professional development of teachers, administrators,
paraprofessional educators, or other classified employees involved in
the direct instruction of pupils, as specified.
This bill would make these provisions inoperative on May 15, 2014,
and repealed as of January 1, 2015, and would, except as provided in
(2), require the Superintendent to apportion any of the appropriated
moneys not already apportioned pursuant to the authority described
above to school districts, county offices of education, and charter
schools using an equal rate per unit of average daily attendance.
(2) This bill, on May 15, 2014, would, from the appropriated
moneys not already apportioned pursuant to the authority described in
(1), appropriate $50,000,000 to the Superintendent for purposes of
establishing pilot programs in urban, suburban, and rural school
districts that measure the effectiveness of the adopted common core
academic content standards and adopted curriculum frameworks that are
aligned to the adopted common core academic content standards. The
bill would require a school district receiving funding to establish a
pilot program, to develop, on or before July 1, 2015, and in
consultation with parental organizations in the district, the pilot
program. The bill would require the school district to review and
revise, in consultation with parental organizations in the district,
the pilot program every 6 months. The bill would require the school
district to submit to the State Department of Education the pilot
program and revisions of the pilot program for review. The bill would
require the school district to make available to the public the
pilot program and revisions to the pilot program.
(3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as an urgency statute.
Existing law provides that the members of the State Allocation
Board and the Members of the Legislature meeting with the board
receive no compensation for the services they provide under the Leroy
F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998, but are to be reimbursed
for the actual and necessary expenses they incur in connection with
the duties they perform pursuant to that act.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision
described above.
Vote: majority 2/3 . Appropriation:
no yes . Fiscal committee: no
