An act to add Section 60902 to the Education Code, relating to
education data systems.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 369, Block. California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data
System: pupils of military families.
Existing law establishes the California Longitudinal Pupil
Achievement Data System, as provided, and requires the system to have
specified characteristics, including, among other things, the
capability to monitor pupil achievement on certain tests and the high
school exit examination from year to year and school to school.
Existing law also ratifies the Interstate Compact on Educational
Opportunity for Military Children with the purpose of removing
barriers to educational success imposed on children of military
families due to the frequent moves and deployment of their parents.
This bill would require, on or before July 1, 2016, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction to add a reporting process
within the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System
requiring local educational agencies to report the enrollment of
pupils of military families, as defined. The bill would require the
State Department of Education to include pupils of military families
as an indicator for specified purposes. The bill would prohibit this
data from being used to compile reports required by specified federal
provisions. By requiring local educational agencies to report this
information, 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 these
statutory provisions.
THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1. Section 60902 is added to the Education Code, to read:
60902. (a) On or before July 1, 2016, the Superintendent shall
add a reporting process within the California Longitudinal Pupil
Achievement Data System requiring local educational agencies to
report the enrollment of pupils of military families.
(b) The department shall include pupils of military families as an
indicator for purposes of Section 60901.
(c) Data collected pursuant to this section shall not be used to
compile reports required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act of
2001 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 6301 et seq.), including, but not limited to,
dropout and graduation rates.
(d) The implementation of this section shall not subject the
department to a loss of funding pursuant to the conditions specified
in Provision 16 of Item 6100-001-0890 of the Budget Act of 2015.
(e) For purposes of this section, "pupils of military families"
means pupils whose parent or legal guardian is an active duty member
of the Armed Forces of the United States.
SEC. 2. If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this
act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local
agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant
to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of
the Government Code.
