Findings and Declarations [300- 300.] ( Article 1 added June 2, 1998, by initiative Proposition 227. ) ## 300. The people of California find and declare as follows: (a) Whereas, The English language is the national public language of the United States of America and of the State of California, is spoken by the vast majority of California residents, and is also the leading world language for science and technology, thereby being an important language of economic opportunity; and (b) Whereas, All parents are eager to have their children master the English language and obtain a high-quality education, thereby preparing them to fully participate in the American Dream of economic and social advancement; and (c) Whereas, California is home to thousands of multinational businesses that must communicate daily with associates around the world; and (d) Whereas, California employers across all sectors, both public and private, are actively recruiting multilingual employees because of their ability to forge stronger bonds with customers, clients, and business partners; and (e) Whereas, Multilingual skills are necessary for our country’s national security and essential to conducting diplomacy and international programs; and (f) Whereas, California has a natural reserve of the world’s largest languages, including English, Mandarin, and Spanish, which are critical to the state’s economic trade and diplomatic efforts; and (g) Whereas, California has the unique opportunity to provide all parents with the choice to have their children educated to high standards in English and one or more additional languages, including Native American languages, thereby increasing pupils’ access to higher education and careers of their choice; and (h) Whereas, The government and the public schools of California have a moral obligation and a constitutional duty to provide all of California’s children, regardless of their ethnicity or national origin, with the skills necessary to become productive members of our society, and of these skills, literacy in the English language is among the most important; and (i) Whereas, The California Legislature approved, and the Governor signed, a historic school funding reform that restructured public education funding in a more equitable manner, directs increased resources to improve English language acquisition, and provides local control to school districts, county offices of education, and schools on how to spend funding through the local control funding formula and local control and accountability plans; and (j) Whereas, Parents now have the opportunity to participate in building innovative new programs that will offer pupils greater opportunities to acquire 21st century skills, such as multilingualism; and (k) Whereas, All parents will have a choice and voice to demand the best education for their children, including access to language programs that will improve their children’s preparation for college and careers, and allow them to be more competitive in a global economy; and (l) Whereas, Existing law places constraints on teachers and schools, which have deprived many pupils of opportunities to develop multilingual skills; and (m) Whereas, A large body of research has demonstrated the cognitive, economic, and long-term academic benefits of multilingualism and multiliteracy. (n) Therefore, It is resolved that: amendments to, and the repeal of, certain provisions of this chapter at the November 2016 statewide general election will advance the goal of voters to ensure that all children in California public schools shall receive the highest quality education, master the English language, and access high-quality, innovative, and research-based language programs that provide the California Ed.G.E. (California Education for a Global Economy). (Amended by Stats. 2014, Ch. 753, Sec. 2. (SB 1174) Approved in Proposition 58 at the November 8, 2016, election.

The governing board of any educational institution, except a school district or community college district and except the State Department of Education special schools as defined in Sections 59000, 59100, and 59200, shall provide for each member of an athletic team insurance protection for medical and hospital expenses resulting from accidental bodily injuries in an amount of at least five thousand dollars ($5,000) for all services for each member of an athletic team, through group, blanket, or individual policies of accident insurance from authorized insurers, or through a benefit and relief association described in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 10493 of the Insurance Code. The coverage shall be for the injury to members of athletic teams arising while the members are engaged in or are preparing for an athletic event promoted under the sponsorship or arrangements of the educational institution or a student body organization thereof or while the members are being transported by or under the sponsorship or arrangements of the educational institution or a student body organization thereof to or from school or other place of instruction and the place of the athletic event.

In the event that the governing board of a school district or community college district should determine that a member of an athletic team or the parents, guardian, or other person having charge or control of a member of an athletic team are financially unable to pay the costs of insurance protection, then the governing board shall require the costs of the protection to be paid either out of funds of the district or funds of the student body. The insurance required by this article shall be issued by an admitted insurer, or through a benefit and relief association described in paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 10493 of the Insurance Code. The insurance otherwise required by this section shall not be required for any individual team member or student who has insurance or a reasonable equivalent of health benefits coverage provided for him or her in any other way or manner, including, but not limited to, purchase by himself or herself, or by his or her parent or guardian.

(a) On or before July 1, 2030, each public school, including charter schools, with an enrollment of 100 pupils or more is encouraged to implement a web-based or app-based school safety program that includes the following program parameters: (1) A common alphanumeric grid mapping system for the identification of all buildings and locations upon the schoolsite that is replicable across all schoolsites in the state, with each building within the mapped system having conspicuous signage upon all corners of the structure listing the alphanumeric identification and any other pertinent information. (2) A multilayered digital map of the schoolsite that contains key information, including, but not limited to, detailed building floor plans, alphanumeric building identification, gate locations, shut-off valve locations, first aid equipment locations, automated external defibrillator locations, links to 360-degree interior and 360-degree aerial photography, and the location of, and field of view of, schoolsite surveillance cameras. (3) The ability to place time stamped event markers on the digital map that identify important information about a crisis, including, but not limited to, injuries, hazards, suspect sightings, and safety zones. (4) (A) The ability to alert first responders from multiple agencies within a reasonable geographic area from the school in the event of an emergency on or around the schoolsite. (B) A designated schoolsite administrator or staff member may request law enforcement assistance using the web-based or app-based school safety program only when there is a situation involving imminent danger of serious physical injury or death to a person on school property, and shall not request law enforcement assistance in a situation that can be safely and appropriately handled by the school’s internal pupil disciplinary procedures, even if a parent or guardian requests the designated schoolsite administrator or staff member to request law enforcement assistance. A parent or guardian who requests the designated schoolsite administrator or staff member to request law enforcement assistance when there is no imminent danger of serious physical injury or death to a person on school property shall be informed that school policy requires alternative measures to be taken to respond to the situation. The designated schoolsite administrator or staff member shall provide the parent or guardian with a list of alternative measures that may be taken to respond to the situation, along with any community resources that may be used, as appropriate. (5) (A) Remote access for first responders to connect to a schoolsite’s surveillance system, with each camera having alphanumeric identification, displaying the direction of the camera’s view, and including a brief description of what is seen within the camera’s field of view. (B) First responders may connect to a schoolsite’s surveillance system only when a designated schoolsite administrator or staff member requests law enforcement assistance for a situation involving imminent danger of serious physical injury or death to a person on school property. (6) Detailed schoolsite information, including, but not limited to, both of the following: (A) The general schoolsite location, schoolsite size, pupil populations, the schoolsite’s grade levels, and the number of staff on campus. (B) The schoolsite’s Wi-Fi connection information, a hierarchy representation of those with responsibility duties, including their name, title, photograph, and contact information, and the emergency procedures for that schoolsite. (7) (A) The ability for school administrators to know the location and condition of pupils and staff through an information relay built into the application in order to allow for schoolsite staff to designate pupils as “absent,” “present,” “missing,” “injured,” and “reconnect,” based upon their accurate accounting, with the “reconnect” feature including a messaging system that notifies each pupil’s emergency contacts when that pupil has been safely secured by an authorized emergency contact. (B) The web-based or app-based school safety program shall not use biometric information or require pupils or staff to use or install an app that provides real-time location tracking. (8) A one-directional message service that allows the program director and the schoolsite primary contact to keep schoolsite staff up to date with current, urgent details. (9) The ability to operate the program to conduct emergency practice drills and archive dates, times, and comments related to an emergency practice drill. (b) If a school implements a web-based or app-based school safety program pursuant to subdivision (a), the school shall ensure that the program developers ensure that best practices are implemented to protect the security and data of all pupils and staff listed within the program. The program developers shall, at a minimum, do all of the following: (1) Consult with the department to ensure that the best practices and requirements described in this section are met. (2) Comply with the Student Online Personal Information Protection Act (Chapter 22.2 (commencing with Section 22584) of Division 8 of the Business and Professions Code). (3) Comply with the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232g). (4) Make the contract between the school and the program developers publicly available. (5) Make the best practices followed by the program developers publicly available. (c) This section does not preclude the governing board or body of a local educational agency from implementing more stringent or additional requirements regarding school safety programs. (d) Paragraphs (1) and (2) of, and subparagraph (B) of paragraph (6) of, subdivision (a), contain sensitive and tactical response information that is critical to the safety and well-being of public schools and their pupils. Therefore, the information in paragraphs (1) and (2) of, and subparagraph (B) of paragraph (6) of, subdivision (a), shall be kept confidential, except as otherwise required for purposes of implementing the section, and shall be exempt from any school safety plan disclosure requirements under this article and from disclosure under the California Public Records Act (Division 10 (commencing with Section 7920.000) of Title 1 of the Government Code). (e) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) “Biometric information” has the same meaning as defined in Section 1798.140 of the Civil Code. (2) “Imminent danger of serious physical injury or death” means that based on the totality of the circumstances, a reasonable person in the same situation would believe that an individual has the present ability, opportunity, and apparent intent to immediately cause serious physical injury or death to a person. “Imminent danger of serious physical injury or death” is not merely a fear of future harm, no matter how great the fear or likelihood of the harm, but is a fear of future harm that, from appearances, must be instantly confronted and addressed. (3) “Serious physical injury” means bodily injury that involves a substantial risk of death, extreme physical pain, protracted and obvious disfigurement, or protracted loss or impairment of the function of a bodily member, organ, or mental faculty.

(a) Each school district and county office of education is responsible for the overall development of all comprehensive school safety plans for its schools operating kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive. (b) (1) Except as provided in subdivision (d) with regard to a small school district, the schoolsite council established pursuant to former Section 52012, as it existed before July 1, 2005, or Section 52852 shall write and develop a comprehensive school safety plan relevant to the needs and resources of that particular school. (2) The schoolsite council may delegate this responsibility to a school safety planning committee made up of the following members: (A) The principal or the principal’s designee. (B) One teacher who is a representative of the recognized certificated employee organization. (C) One parent whose child attends the school. (D) One classified employee who is a representative of the recognized classified employee organization. (E) Other members, if desired. (3) The schoolsite council shall consult with a representative from a law enforcement agency, a fire department, and other first responder entities in the writing and development of the comprehensive school safety plan. The comprehensive school safety plan and any updates to the plan shall be shared with the law enforcement agency, the fire department, and the other first responder entities. (4) In the absence of a schoolsite council, the members specified in paragraph (2) shall serve as the school safety planning committee. (c) This article does not limit or take away the authority of school boards as guaranteed under this code. (d) Subdivision (b) shall not apply to a small school district if the small school district develops a districtwide comprehensive school safety plan that is applicable to each schoolsite. (e) (1) When a principal or their designee verifies through local law enforcement officials that a report has been filed of the occurrence of a violent crime or sex offense on the schoolsite of an elementary or secondary school at which they are the principal, the principal or the principal’s designee may send to each pupil’s parent or legal guardian and each school employee a written notice of the occurrence and general nature of the crime. If the principal or their designee chooses to send the written notice, the Legislature encourages the notice be sent no later than the end of business on the second regular workday after the verification. If, at the time of verification, local law enforcement officials determine that notification of the violent crime or sex offense would hinder an ongoing investigation, the notification authorized by this subdivision shall be made within a reasonable period of time, to be determined by the local law enforcement agency and the school district. (2) This subdivision does not create any liability in a school district or their employees for complying with paragraph (1). (f) (1) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), a school district or county office of education may, in consultation with law enforcement officials, elect to not have its schoolsite council develop and write those portions of its comprehensive school safety plan that include tactical responses to criminal incidents that may result in death or serious bodily injury at the schoolsite. The portions of a comprehensive school safety plan that include tactical responses to criminal incidents may be developed by administrators of the school district or county office of education in consultation with law enforcement officials and with a representative of an exclusive bargaining unit of employees of that school district or county office of education, if the representative chooses to participate. The school district or county office of education may elect not to disclose those portions of the comprehensive school safety plan that include tactical responses to criminal incidents. (2) As used in this article, “tactical responses to criminal incidents” means steps taken to safeguard pupils and staff, to secure the affected school premises, and to apprehend the criminal perpetrator or perpetrators. (3) This subdivision does not preclude the governing board of a school district or county office of education from conferring in a closed session with law enforcement officials pursuant to Section 54957 of the Government Code to approve a tactical response plan developed in consultation with those officials pursuant to this subdivision. Any vote to approve the tactical response plan shall be announced in open session following the closed session. (4) This subdivision does not reduce or eliminate the requirements of Section 32282. (g) For purposes of this article, the following definitions apply: (1) “Child abuse or neglect” has the same meaning as defined in Section 11165.6 of the Penal Code.

The maintenance of a quality environment for the people of this state now and in the future is a matter of statewide concern. The Legislature further finds and declares that the volume of solid waste generated within the state coupled with an increased rate in the consumption of paper products and the absence of adequate programs and procedures for the reuse of these materials threaten the quality of the environment and well-being of the people of California. In making these findings the Legislature declares that the policy and intent of this article is to increase the public’s awareness of the value of recycling and the need to recycle, and to improve environmental quality by the recycling of paper products.

(i) The department shall maintain current Internet links with the Internet Web sites of local educational agencies to provide parents and the public with easy access to the school accountability report cards maintained on the Internet. In order to ensure the currency of these Internet links, local educational agencies that provide access to school accountability report cards through the Internet shall furnish current Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) for their Internet Web sites to the department. (j) A school or school district that chooses not to utilize the standardized template adopted pursuant to this section shall report the data for its school accountability report card in a manner that is consistent with the definitions adopted pursuant to subdivision (c). (k) The department shall provide recommendations for changes to the California Basic Educational Data System, or a successor data system, and other data collection mechanisms to ensure that the information will be preserved and available in the future. (l) The department shall monitor the compliance of local educational agencies with the requirements to prepare and to distribute school accountability report cards, including, but not limited to, the requirements contained in this section, subdivision (c) of Section 35256, and Section 35258.

Superintendent of Public Instruction [33100 - 33195.6] ( Chapter 2 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## ARTICLE 5. Verification of Private School Instruction [33190 - 33193] ( Article 5 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## 33192. (a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), if the employees of any entity that has a contract with a private school to provide any of the following services may have any contact with pupils, those employees shall submit or have submitted their fingerprints in a manner authorized by the Department of Justice together with a fee determined by the Department of Justice to be sufficient to reimburse the department for its costs incurred in processing the application: (1) School and classroom janitorial. (2) Schoolsite administrative. (3) Schoolsite grounds and landscape maintenance. (4) Pupil transportation. (5) Schoolsite food-related. (b) This section shall not apply to an entity providing any of the services listed in subdivision (a) to a private school in an emergency or exceptional situation, such as when pupil health or safety is endangered or when repairs are needed to make school facilities safe and habitable. (c) This section shall not apply to an entity providing any of the services listed in subdivision (a) to a private school when the private school determines that the employees of the entity will have limited contact with pupils. In determining whether a contract employee has limited contact with pupils, the private school shall consider the totality of the circumstances, including factors such as the length of time the contractors will be on school grounds, whether pupils will be in proximity with the site where the contractors will be working, and whether the contractors will be working by themselves or with others. If a private school has made this determination, the private school shall take appropriate steps to protect the safety of any pupils that may come in contact with these employees. (d) A private school may determine, on a case-by-case basis, to require an entity providing schoolsite services other than those listed in subdivision (a) or those described in Section 33193 and the entity’s employees to comply with the requirements of this section, unless the private school determines that the employees of the entity will have limited contact with pupils. In determining whether a contract employee will have limited contact with pupils, the private school shall consider the totality of the circumstances, including factors such as the length of time the contractors will be on school grounds, whether pupils will be in proximity with the site where the contractors will be working, and whether the contractors will be working by themselves or with others. If a private school makes this determination, the private school shall take appropriate steps to protect the safety of any pupils that may come in contact with these employees. If a private school requires an entity providing services other than those listed in subdivision (a) and its employees to comply with the requirements of this section, the Department of Justice shall comply with subdivision (e). (e) (1) The Department of Justice shall ascertain whether the individual whose fingerprints were submitted to it pursuant to subdivision (a) has been arrested or convicted of any crime insofar as that fact can be ascertained from information available to the department. Upon implementation of an electronic fingerprinting system with terminals located statewide and managed by the Department of Justice, the department shall ascertain the information required pursuant to this section within three working days. When the Department of Justice ascertains that an individual whose fingerprints were submitted to it pursuant to subdivision (a) has a pending criminal proceeding for a felony as defined in Section 45122.1 or has been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1, the department shall notify the employer designated by the individual of that fact. The notification shall be delivered by telephone or electronic mail to the employer. (2) The Department of Justice, at its discretion, may notify the private school in instances when the employee is defined as having a pending criminal proceeding described in Section 45122.1 or has been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1. (3) The Department of Justice may forward one copy of the fingerprints to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to verify any record of previous arrests or convictions of the applicant. The Department of Justice shall review the criminal record summary it obtains from the Federal Bureau of Investigation and shall notify the employer only as to whether or not an applicant has any convictions or arrests pending adjudication for offenses which, if committed in California, would have been punishable as a violent or serious felony. The Department of Justice shall not provide any specific offense information received from the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The Department of Justice shall provide written notification to the contract employer only concerning whether an applicant for employment has any conviction or arrest pending final adjudication for any of those crimes, as specified in Section 45122.1, but shall not provide any information identifying any offense for which an existing employee was convicted or has an arrest pending final adjudication. (f) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) shall not permit an employee to come in contact with pupils until the Department of Justice has ascertained that the employee has not been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1. (1) This prohibition does not apply to an employee solely on the basis that the employee has been convicted of a felony if the employee has obtained a certificate of rehabilitation and pardon pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 4852.01) of Title 6 of Part 3 of the Penal Code. (2) This prohibition does not apply to an employee solely on the basis that the employee has been convicted of a serious felony that is not also a violent felony if that employee can prove to the sentencing court of the offense in question, by clear and convincing evidence, that he or she has been rehabilitated for the purposes of schoolsite employment for at least one year. If the offense in question occurred outside this state, then the person may seek a finding of rehabilitation from the court having jurisdiction where he or she is resident. (g) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) shall certify in writing to the private school that neither the employer nor any of its employees who are required by this section to submit or have their fingerprints submitted to the Department of Justice and who may come in contact with pupils have been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1. (h) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) on the effective date of the act adding this section and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) by a private school with which it has a contract on the effective date of the act adding this section shall complete the requirements of this section within 90 days of that date. (i) For purposes of this section, “private school” means a person, firm, association, partnership, or corporation offering or conducting private school instruction on the elementary or high school level. (j) Where reasonable access to the statewide electronic fingerprinting network is available, the Department of Justice may request electronic submission of the fingerprint cards and other information required by this section.
