Existing law establishes a single system for providing support to local educational agencies and schools, known as the statewide system of support, to build the capacity of local educational agencies to perform certain activities. Existing law requires the State Department of Education to develop and maintain the California School Dashboard for publicly reporting local educational agency performance data. Existing law prohibits the department from publishing the California School Dashboard in 2020 and 2021 and from identifying a local educational agency during the 2020–21 or 2021–22 school year for the technical assistance or intervention process based on the performance criteria used for the California School Dashboard.
This bill would declare the Legislature’s intent to enact subsequent legislation to implement revisions to the state K–12
education accountability system to address data and performance gaps resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic.
