LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 1315, as introduced, Romero. Parent empowerment.
Existing law requires a local educational agency to implement one
of several specified reforms for any other school which, after one
full school year, is subject to corrective action pursuant to a
specified provision of federal law and continues to fail to make
adequate yearly progress, and have an Academic Performance Index
score of less than 800, and where at least 1/2 of the parents or
legal guardians of pupils attending the school, or a combination of
at least 1/2 of the parents or legal guardians of pupils attending
the school and the elementary or middle schools that normally
matriculate into a middle or high school, as applicable, sign a
petition requesting the local educational agency to implement one of
the alternative governance arrangements, unless the local educational
agency makes a finding in writing why it cannot implement the
recommended arrangement and instead designates in writing which of
the other alternative governance arrangements it will implement in
the subsequent school year.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation relating to parent empowerment.
