    This section requires principal teachers in certain bilingual education programs to be bilingual-crosscultural or bilingual with specified credentials, and it sets waiver and reporting rules for school districts.

    ## Education Code - EDC ## TITLE 2. ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION [33000 - 65001] ( Title 2 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## DIVISION 4. INSTRUCTION AND SERVICES [46000 - 65001] ( Division 4 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## PART 28. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS [51000 - 53303] ( Part 28 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## CHAPTER 7. Bilingual Education [52160 - 52202] ( Chapter 7 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## ARTICLE 3. Bilingual-Bicultural Education Act of 1976 [52160 - 52178] ( Article 3 added by Stats. 1977, Ch. 36. ) ## 52178. All principal teachers providing instruction in programs defined by subdivision (a), (b), or, unless waived by the board, (c), and insofar as teachers are available, (d) of Section 52163 shall be bilingual-crosscultural teachers as defined pursuant to subdivision (h) of Section 52163, or shall be bilingual in English and the primary language of the pupils of limited-English proficiency in the bilingual class and hold an internship credential or an emergency bilingual-crosscultural credential. In recognition of the shortage of qualified bilingual-crosscultural teachers, a school district may request a renewable two-year waiver from the board for each teacher who is not bilingual-crosscultural but who is enrolled and participating in a program leading to a bilingual specialist credential or a certificate of competence for bilingual-crosscultural instruction pursuant to Section 44253.5. Such a teacher, with the assistance of a bilingual-crosscultural aide, may teach in a program of bilingual instruction mandated by Section 52165 for not more than four school years, except as otherwise provided by this section, commencing with the first year that the teacher was under waiver, so long as continuing progress toward the certificate of competence is indicated in accordance with this section. Each school district which requests waivers shall file its application for such a waiver with the State Board of Education on or before October 1 of the appropriate year, and shall give assurance that all teachers receiving such a waiver are, or will be, participating in, and fulfilling the requirements of, an appropriate program, as specified in this section, leading to a bilingual specialist credential or a certificate of competence for bilingual-crosscultural instruction pursuant to Section 44253.5 during each of the school years for which the waiver is granted, and shall state who is in charge of the program and which institution or district is conducting it. Existing state and federal staff development funds may be used for training and assessment leading to a bilingual specialist credential or a bilingual-crosscultural certificate of competence. The district shall further assure that all teachers receiving such a waiver have been notified in writing by the school board as to their obligations while under waiver. The waiver application shall list the names of the teachers who are to receive the waiver, the school to which they are assigned, and the date by which the teacher is expected to obtain a bilingual specialist credential or the certificate of competence. Each district, whether or not it requests a waiver, shall report the number of classrooms for which a bilingual teacher is required pursuant to Section 52165, the total number of certificated bilingual-crosscultural teachers employed by the district in classroom positions, and, in the event the district requests a waiver, the total number of teachers for whom a waiver is being requested. If a district hires new teachers, no waiver shall be granted unless the board finds that the district made a good faith effort to contact, recruit, and hire bilingual-crosscultural teachers. It is not the intent of the Legislature, by amending this section in the 1979–80 Regular Legislative Session, to expand the requirements for the certificate of bilingual-crosscultural competence. For purposes of this section, programs for the study of language, culture, and methodology offered by accredited postsecondary institutions shall be approved and regulated by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing. Courses for the study of language, culture, and methodology established by the State Department of Education pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 52180) of Chapter 7 of Part 28 shall be approved by the State Department of Education and shall be deemed appropriate. All other courses for the study of language, culture, or methodology offered for bilingual teachers on waiver shall meet the standards and criteria published by the State Department of Education. The department shall adopt standards and criteria for training programs in language, culture, and methodology for teachers on waiver lacking competencies in those areas. District applications for initial waivers to commence on or after July 1, 1984, and applications for two-year renewals, shall include certification by the district that the applicant is enrolled in or will be enrolled in an approved language, culture, or methodology course or a course for the study of language, culture, or methodology that meets the standards and criteria adopted by the State Department of Education, and certification by the employing school district or education agency that the applicant teacher is making the following progress toward meeting the requirements for the bilingual-crosscultural certificate of competence: (a) For the teacher who is just entering the bilingual program: no requirement. (b) For the teacher beginning his or her second year on waiver: (1) competence in language, culture, or methodology, as required by subdivision (a), (b), or (c) of Section 44253.5, and (2), for the teacher who is not competent in language, enrollment in a program for the study of language which is approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing or enrollment in a course for the study of language which is established or approved by the State Department of Education, or a program which meets the standards and criteria prescribed by the department under this section. (c) For the teacher beginning his or her third year on waiver: (1) competence in language as required by subdivision (a) of Section 44253.5, or (2) continued enrollment in a program for the study of language which is approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing or continued enrollment in a course for the study of language which is established and approved by the State Department of Education, or a program which meets the standards and criteria prescribed by the department under this section. (d) For the teacher beginning his or her fourth year on waiver: (1) competence in two of the three areas required by Section 44253.5 and (2), for the teacher who is not competent in language, continued enrollment in a program for the study of language which is approved by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing or continued enrollment in a course for the study of language which is established and approved by the State Department of Education, or a program which meets the standards and criteria prescribed by the department under this section.

In enacting this article, it is the intent of the Legislature to provide qualified students with the opportunity to attend a technical school or enroll in a career technical or technical training program, regardless of the geographical location of their residence in a county or region. The Legislature hereby declares that a regional occupational center will serve the state and national interests in providing career technical and technical education to prepare students for an increasingly technological society in which generalized training and skills are insufficient to prepare high school students and graduates, and out-of-school youth and adults for the many employment opportunities which require special or technical training and skills. The Legislature also declares that regional occupational centers will enable a broader curriculum in technical subjects to be offered, and will avoid unnecessary duplication of courses and expensive training equipment, and will provide a flexibility in operation which will facilitate rapid program adjustments and meeting changing training needs as they arise. It is recognized by the Legislature that career technical programs may achieve great flexibility of planning, scope and operation by the conduct of these programs in a variety of physical facilities at various training locations. It is the further intent of the Legislature that regional occupational centers and programs provide career technical and occupational instruction related to the attainment of skills so that trainees are prepared for gainful employment in the area for which training was provided, or are upgraded so they have the higher level skills required because of new and changing technologies or so that they are prepared for enrollment in more advanced training programs.

(a) (1) The county superintendent of schools of each county, with the consent of the state board, may establish and maintain, or with one or more counties may establish and maintain, a regional occupational center, or regional occupational program, in the county to provide education and training in career technical courses. The governing boards of any school districts maintaining high schools in the county may, with the consent of the state board and of the county superintendent of schools, cooperate in the establishment and maintenance of a regional occupational center or program, except that if a school district also maintains 500 or more schools, its governing board may establish and maintain one or more regional occupational centers or programs, without those restrictions. A regional occupational center or program may be established by two or more school districts maintaining high schools through the use of the staff and facilities of a community college or community colleges serving the same geographic area as the school districts maintaining the high schools, with the consent of the state board and the county superintendent of schools. (2) The establishment and maintenance of a regional occupational center or program, by two or more school districts may be undertaken pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code. In a regional occupational center or program, the functions of the county auditor undertaken pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code shall be performed by the county superintendent of schools in a county in which the board of supervisors has transferred educational functions from the county auditor to the county superintendent of schools pursuant to Sections 42649, as added by Chapter 533 of the Statutes of 1977, and 85265.5. If a school district or school districts establish and maintain a regional occupational center or program, pursuant to this chapter, the county superintendent of schools may, with the consent of the state board, establish and maintain a separate regional occupational center or centers or program or programs. (b) Notwithstanding other provisions of this section, a single school district located in a class 1 county, as defined in Section 1205, and having an average daily attendance of 50,000 or more, or a single school district located in a class 2 county, as defined in Section 1205, and having an average daily attendance of 100,000 or more, may apply to the state board through the county superintendent of schools for permission to establish a regional occupational center or program. Except as provided in subdivision (c), the state board shall, within 90 days of receipt of an application, prescribe a procedure whereby the school district may establish a center or program in accordance with its application and in compliance with the provisions of the State Plan for Career Technical Education. The county superintendent of schools may supervise establishment of the center or program. (c) (1) The state board may disapprove a waiver application submitted by a single school district pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 33050) of Chapter 1 of Part 20 for permission to establish a regional occupational center or program which does not meet the requirements of this section if the state board determines that the establishment of the center or program would have an adverse effect upon existing regional occupational centers or programs located in school districts which are contiguous to the applicant school district. (2) The state board shall establish criteria to measure adverse effect. The criteria shall include, but not be limited to, hardship on (A) school districts operating regional occupational centers or programs which are contiguous to the applicant school district and (B) students of school districts operating regional occupational centers or programs that are contiguous to the applicant school district. (d) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any regional occupational center or program operated by a single school district under Section 33050 shall be granted permanent status if the single school district has previously been granted two waivers from the state board to operate a single school district regional occupational center or program and the single school district maintains at least three but not more than five comprehensive high schools within the school district. The revenue limit for a regional occupational center or program established under this subdivision shall be the lower of either: (1) the revenue limit under which the center or program operates as of January 1, 1985, or (2) the revenue limit of the school district as of January 1, 1985, except that this revenue limit shall be subject to annual percentage cost-of-living adjustments provided for regional occupational centers and programs. The governing board of the school district shall retain authority to decide whether or not to operate the regional occupational center or program under this subdivision.

Any school district which in cooperation with other school districts maintains a regional occupational center, or regional occupational program, or any cooperating school districts may admit to the center, or program, any pupil, otherwise eligible, who resides in the district or in any of the cooperating districts. Any school district which by itself maintains a regional occupational center, or regional occupational program, may admit to the center, or program, any pupil, otherwise eligible, who resides in the district. No pupil, including adults under Section 52610 shall be admitted to a regional occupational center, or regional occupational program, unless the county superintendent of schools or governing board of the district or districts maintaining the center, or program, as the case may be, determines that the pupil will benefit therefrom and approves of his or her admission to the regional occupational center or regional occupational program. (2) Adult students shall not be enrolled in regional occupational center or program courses during the school day on a high school campus unless specifically authorized by the policy of the governing board of the school district. (3) A pupil may be admitted on a full-time or part-time basis, as determined by the county superintendent of schools or governing board of the school district or districts maintaining the center, or program, as the case may be.

(C) The pupil is enrolled in a school that maintains any of grades 9 to 12, inclusive. (3) The individualized education program of a pupil adopted pursuant to the requirements of Chapter 4 (commencing with Section 56300) of Part 30 prescribes occupational training for which his or her enrollment in a regional occupational center or program is deemed appropriate. (4) The pupil is enrolled in grade 10 and has a comprehensive high school plan that has been approved by a school counselor, and the admission of that pupil will not result in the denial of admission or displacement of pupils in grades 11 and 12 that would otherwise participate in the regional occupational center or program. (c) Each school district, county superintendent of schools, or joint powers agency that maintains a regional occupational center or regional occupational program shall submit to the department, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the Superintendent, the enrollment and average daily attendance for each grade level and the enrollment and average daily attendance for each exemption set forth in subdivision (b).

(b) A regional occupational center or program may budget and accumulate an amount necessary to meet the cashflow needs of the regional occupational center or program known as a general reserve, and also may budget and accumulate amounts known as the designated fund balance and as the unappropriated fund balance. Alternatively, a regional occupational center or program may budget and accumulate amounts necessary to meet its long-term program needs in a separate account known as the capital outlay and equipment replacement reserve account, and this account shall be part of the designated fund balance. At the end of each school year, the ending balance in the regional occupational center or program account may be distributed to any of the general reserve, designated fund balance, and unappropriated fund balance accounts, provided that the combined total distributed does not exceed 15 percent of the expenditures for the current school year. (1) The general reserve, the designated fund balance, including the capital outlay and equipment replacement reserve account, and the unappropriated fund balance shall be available for appropriation only after approval by a majority vote of the governing body of the regional occupational center or program. (2) Funds of a regional occupational center or program shall be distributed to the capital outlay and equipment replacement reserve account only upon adoption by the governing board of a resolution specifying the general use to which each appropriation from the account would be put. (c) (1) At the end of each school year, the combined ending balances of the general reserve, the designated fund balance, except the capital outlay and equipment replacement reserve account, and the unappropriated fund balance shall not exceed 15 percent of the expenditures for the current fiscal year.

(d) Funds placed in either the general reserve, the designated fund balance, including the capital outlay and equipment replacement reserve account, or the unappropriated fund balance shall be expended only for regional occupational center or program educational purposes. (e) Commencing in the 2007–08 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall require an annual certification by school districts, county superintendents of schools, and joint powers agencies that the regional occupational center or program funds have been expended as provided in this section. The Superintendent shall withhold from the apportionment of a subsequent fiscal year, any ending fund balance in excess of 15 percent of the expenditures for the year, except those funds specifically set aside by the governing board in the capital outlay and equipment replacement reserve account.

Regional Occupational Centers [52300 - 52334.7] ( Article 1 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## 52324.6. (a) Any regional occupational program shall be eligible to apply for apportionments as a necessary small regional occupational program under this section if it is a regional occupational program with an annual total average daily attendance of 350 or less in the prior fiscal year, and the regional occupational program provides instructional service to a comprehensive high school or schools that have an average daily attendance in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, during the fiscal year of 350 or less. A necessary small regional occupational program may apply for a small school regional occupational program service allocation pursuant to this section for any or all of the comprehensive high schools within its boundaries that have an average daily attendance of 350 or less during the fiscal year, and at which instruction is provided by the regional occupational program. The county superintendents of schools shall annually certify the eligibility of a regional occupational program as a necessary small regional occupational program and annually certify the eligibility of all comprehensive high schools within the boundaries that have been selected by the necessary small regional occupational program to receive small school regional occupational program service allocations. (b) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall annually allocate small school regional occupational program service funding, in accordance with the schedule prescribed in this subdivision, for any and all comprehensive high schools that are certified as eligible and are selected in accordance with subdivision (a). Regional occupational programs that do not certify the employment of the minimum number of full-time equivalent certificated employees at each school shall have the total small school regional occupational program service allocation for that school reduced by a pro rata amount, based on the percentage of employee service provided in comparison to the total number of regional occupational program employees required for full funding. Full-time equivalency for purposes of this subdivision shall be equal to six teaching periods of comprehensive high school. The small school regional occupational program service allocation shall be adjusted annually by the same percentage cost-of-living adjustment applied to other regional occupational center and program revenue limits. (c) (1) If a regional occupational program applies for funding under this section, the regional occupational program shall certify to the Superintendent of Public Instruction all concurrently enrolled average daily attendance generated during the previous year in each school to which small school regional occupational program service funds were allocated under subdivision (b). The average daily attendance certified under this subdivision shall be subtracted from the regional occupational program’s prior year total allowable average daily attendance, and the remainder shall become the current year allowable regional occupational program average daily attendance for all nonconcurrently enrolled students and concurrently enrolled students from schools not funded under subdivision (b). This calculation shall be completed the year a regional occupational program applies to become a necessary small regional occupational program or the year that the eligible regional occupational program selects any comprehensive high school defined in subdivision (a) to receive a small school regional occupational program service allocation. (2) In the fiscal year that an eligible regional occupational program selects to remove a certified comprehensive high school from the small school regional occupational program service allocation funding or when the comprehensive high school no longer qualifies under the provisions of subdivision (a), the superintendent shall allocate a sum equal to the average of the prior two years’ annual regional occupational program average daily attendance for the comprehensive high school multiplied by either the statewide average revenue limit per average daily attendance or the revenue limit per average daily attendance of the regional occupational program, whichever is greater, to the revenue limit of the eligible regional occupational program. (3) In addition, the superintendent shall raise the prior year’s annual concurrently enrolled average daily attendance for all schools not funded under subdivision (b) of the eligible small school regional occupational program an amount equal to the average of the prior two years’ annual regional occupational program average daily attendance for the comprehensive high school. This adjusted allowable average daily attendance shall be the new base upon which growth is calculated for nonconcurrently enrolled students and concurrently enrolled students from high schools not funded under subdivision (b), within an eligible regional occupational program. (d) Total annual apportionments for regional occupational programs that qualify for funding under this section as necessary small regional occupational programs shall be calculated in accordance with the following formula: Total small school ROP service allocations to selected comprehensive high schools of 350 or less average daily attendance pursuant to subdivision (b) + Reported allowable average daily attendance pursuant to subdivision (c) multiplied by either the statewide average ROP revenue limit or the ROP revenue limit, whichever is greater = Total annual state apportionment for a necessary small ROP (e) Nothing in this section shall be construed to require eligible regional occupational programs to apply for funding under this section. (f) In fiscal years subsequent to the 1989–90 fiscal year, the prior year’s apportionment under this section shall be annually adjusted by the same cost-of-living increase provided to regional occupational programs through the standard apportionment system.

Therefore, adult education, at a minimum, shall meet the following criteria: (a) All programs, courses, and classes conducted as adult education shall be open to adults and listed in the school district’s catalog of adult education classes provided to the public and shall be under the supervision and jurisdiction of the adult education administrator as determined by the governing board of the school district. Adults shall have priority over other students for admission to any adult education class if those adults enroll not later than the regular enrollment period for those classes. The enrollment period shall be published in the course catalog. A course required by the school district for high school graduation or necessary for pupils to maintain satisfactory academic progress shall not be offered exclusively through the adult education program. An adult for purposes of this section is a person 18 years of age or older or other person who is not concurrently enrolled in a regular high school program. (b) Each adult education teacher, whether part time or full time, under contract status or in an hourly position, shall be part of the adult school faculty and shall be under the direct supervision of the authorized adult education administrator.

Before enrollment by a high school pupil in an adult education program, class, or course, the pupil shall have documentation of the counseling session held pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 52500.1. (d) Enrollment of a high school pupil in an adult education program, course, or class shall be for sound educational purposes, including, but not limited to, the following: (1) The adult education program, course, or class is not offered in the regular high school curriculum. (2) The adult education program, course, or class is needed by the pupil to make up deficient credits for graduation from high school. (3) The adult education program, course, or class allows the pupil to gain vocational and technical skills beyond that provided by the regular high school’s vocational and technical education program. (4) The adult education program, course, or class supplements and enriches the high school pupil’s educational experience. (e) A high school pupil shall not be enrolled for apportionment purposes in an adult education program, course, or class that would be considered any of the following: (1) Physical education. (2) Driver’s training and education. (3) Visual and performing arts. (4) Band. (5) Preparation of a school yearbook or school newspaper. (6) Training for, or participation in, athletic camps, cheerleading or spirit organizations, student government, or extracurricular student clubs. (f) The Superintendent shall issue a program advisory that further defines the purposes set forth in subdivision (d) and the courses set forth in subdivision (e). The Superintendent is authorized to issue, at any time, rules and regulations instead of the program advisory. (g) Money under the Adult Education Program, established pursuant to Article 9 (commencing with Section 84900) of Chapter 5 of Part 50 of Division 7 of Title 3, shall not be used to support the costs of an adult education program, course, and class described in subdivision (e). A school district shall clearly demonstrate that the costs of instruction for pupils under 18 years of age enrolled in an adult education program, course, or class described in subdivision (e) are from another allowable fund source or sources. (h) Students enrolled in adult education programs, courses, and classes shall be assigned a statewide student identifier consistent with the identifiers assigned to pupils in K–12 education programs, if the student is not already identified by a social security number in the data system of the adult school or other local educational agency providing the adult education programs, courses, or classes. Adult schools shall share the assigned identifiers with the California Community Colleges for inclusion in the student data system. (Amended by Stats. 2021, Ch. 666, Sec. 67.

(a) Money in the Adult Education Fund of a school district may be expended only for the following charges: (1) Direct instructional costs relating directly to the adult education program, including, but not limited to, the salaries and benefits of adult education teachers and aides, textbooks, instructional supplies, travel and conference expenses for employees who work in the adult education program, and repair, maintenance, acquisition, and replacement of instructional equipment used in the adult education program. (2) (A) Direct support costs for the adult education program. For purposes of this section, “direct support costs” means: (i) Instructional administration and instructional media costs that are supported by auditable documentation. For purposes of this subparagraph, instructional administration costs include the documented costs of individuals who, regardless of specific job title, administer the district’s adult education program. (ii) School administration and pupil services costs that are supported by auditable documentation and that represent the activities of individuals whose employment by the school district is exclusively in support of the adult education program, or school administration and pupil services costs that are supported by auditable documentation and that meet all of the following conditions: (I) Those costs are able to be identified in a separate contract with the adult education program. (II) The administration and services are provided exclusively to adult students and only for the period identified in the contract made pursuant to subclause (I). (III) The services are provided during a time that is different than when services to pupils in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, are provided, and the administration is provided after 4:00 p.m. (IV) The persons who provide the services and administration to adult students report to the adult education director during the period of the contract made pursuant to subclause (I). (V) The person providing the administration immediately supervises the adult school personnel. (iii) Plant maintenance and operations costs, including costs for facilities that are used to provide childcare services to the children of the students attending the adult education program at a particular site as follows: (I) For facilities that exclusively house adult education programs, the costs that are supported by auditable documentation. For purposes of this clause, a facility that houses an adult education program and a regional occupational center or program or a childcare program, or both, is a facility that exclusively houses an adult education program. (II) For facilities that are used by more than one program, including the adult education program, a district may charge the Adult Education Fund for an amount attributable to the adult education program, but this charge shall not exceed the amount derived from the following calculation: (ia) Calculate, according to the general description in the California School Accounting Manual, the prorated number of classroom units that the adult education program uses for instructional and childcare purposes. (ib) Calculate the total number of classroom units in the district. (ic) Divide the amount calculated in sub-subclause (ia) by the amount calculated in sub-subclause (ib). (id) Multiply the quotient calculated in sub-subclause (ic) by the district’s total plant maintenance and operations costs. (iv) Facilities costs for nondistrict-owned facilities that exclusively house adult education programs, including, but not limited to, costs of facilities that are used to provide childcare services to the children of the students attending the adult education program at the same site. For purposes of this subparagraph, a facility that houses an adult education program and a regional occupational center or program or a child care program, or both, is a facility that exclusively houses an adult education program. (v) Facilities costs for the acquisition of facilities originally acquired by adult education programs, or for the restoration of those facilities, including costs for debt service for the acquisition or restoration of a facility, including the costs of facilities that are used to provide childcare services to the children of the students attending the adult education program at the same site. (B) For purposes of subparagraph (A), “auditable documentation” means time reports and other contemporaneous records that establish the time that individual employees spend working for the adult education program, and the documentation that supports nonpersonnel costs substantiating that the adult education program received the service, supply, or equipment. That documentation shall comply with the documentation requirements set forth in the California School Accounting Manual published pursuant to Section 41010. (b) If the department and the Department of Finance concur that a school district has violated this section, the Superintendent shall direct that school district to transfer double the amount improperly transferred to the school district’s general fund from that fund to the school district’s Adult Education Fund for the subsequent fiscal year, which amount shall be used for the improvement of the school district’s adult education program. If the school district fails to make that transfer as directed, the Superintendent shall reduce the school district’s regular apportionment determined pursuant to Section 42238.02, as implemented by Section 42238.03, by that amount, and that shall be used for improvement of the school district’s adult education program. (c) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting this section that responsible school district officials be held fully accountable for the accounting and reporting of adult education programs and that minor and inadvertent instances of noncompliance be resolved in a fair and equitable manner to the satisfaction of the Superintendent and the Department of Finance. (d) The Superintendent, with the approval of the Department of Finance, may waive up to the full transfer amount in subdivision (b) if the Superintendent determines that the noncompliance involved is minor or inadvertent, or both.

(2) The Armenian genocide. (3) The World War II internment, relocation, and restriction in the United States of persons of Italian origin and its impact on the Italian American community. (b) The Legislature finds and declares that there are few films or video recordings available on the subjects of the internment of persons of Japanese origin, the Armenian genocide, and the World War II internment, relocation, and restriction of persons of Italian origin for teachers to use when teaching pupils about these three devastating events. The shortage of available films or video recordings on these subjects is especially true for the Armenian genocide. (c) The Legislature hereby finds and declares that films and video recordings giving a historically accurate depiction of the internment in the United States of persons of Japanese origin during World War II, the Armenian genocide, and the World War II internment, relocation, and restriction of persons of Italian origin should be made in order that pupils will recognize these events for the horror they represented. The Legislature hereby encourages teachers to use these films and video recordings as a resource in teaching pupils about these three important historical events that are commonly overlooked in today’s school curriculum.

    This section states legislative findings about California’s science education needs and the importance of improving science teaching and student science achievement.

Legislative Findings and Declarations, and Statewide Goals [52950 - 52951] ( Article 1 added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1486, Sec. 1. ) ## 52951. The Legislature finds and declares as follows: (a) California is a national and international leader in scientific and technological development. California employs 45 percent of the nation’s computer specialists and 21 percent of its engineers. The economic growth of California and the nation will depend in a large part upon its ability to remain competitive with other states and with foreign nations. Maintaining our preeminence will be dependent upon persons who have a solid foundation in science. (b) There is growing concern about science illiteracy within the state’s adult population. A National Science Foundation Report shows that less than half of all high school juniors and one-third of high school seniors take a science course. As a result, American high school students receive only one-half to one-third the exposure to science as their counterparts in other developed countries, such as Japan, West Germany, East Germany, and the Soviet Union. (c) California has an insufficient number of teachers trained in science and mathematics. There were 1,400 positions filled by teachers not trained in science or mathematics in 1985, and there is a projected shortage of 2,000 to 2,500 positions being filled by teachers not trained in science and mathematics in 1986. (d) Due to the higher entry level salaries provided by the private sector for college graduates trained in science and mathematics, the growing shortage of qualified science and mathematics teachers will continue. (e) There are exemplary programs in California that upgrade the training of science teachers and train science teachers. (f) Complex problems must be overcome if science education is to advance students to a level of competence appropriate for an increasingly technological society. The decline in science achievement of students in schools, colleges, and universities in California affects all students, but is particularly acute for women students, minority students, and students from lower income groups. The problems related to this situation include, but are not limited to, all of the following: (1) A lack of understanding of the fundamental principles of science and their implications for everyday life. (2) Inadequate mastery of knowledge of science by students and many teachers, resulting in poor comprehension of college coursework and high attrition rates for those students who have these deficiencies. (3) A tendency among girls and young women to avoid taking science courses in high school, which limits their choice of educational options, and screens them out of future careers in science, engineering, and other science-related professions. (4) Lack of science instruction at the elementary school level to enable all students, including female, minority, and low-income students, to develop skills and attitudes which will enable and encourage them to pursue science successfully in later grades. (5) A critical shortage of qualified teachers, with significant numbers of science teachers leaving the classroom for nonteaching jobs, and few students training to take their places. (6) Lack of teachers’ training in the use of laboratory equipment and procedures, as well as the lack of laboratory-based facilities in schools, thereby reducing the opportunity for students to receive “hands-on” science instruction. (7) Staffing of more than 25 percent of science classes by teachers not certified to teach science. (g) While some colleges and universities are improving courses in the teaching of science, this will not fully address the problem, since the number of new teacher candidates is relatively small. Therefore, the Legislature recognizes the need to assist existing teachers in gaining the knowledge necessary to improve science education for all students. (h) The science problem is shared by all segments and levels of California education, and the problem can best be addressed by cooperatively planned and funded efforts. (i) Appropriate models for cooperative, intersegmental approaches to solving the science problem should address the findings of state and national science associations, including, but not limited to, the National Science Foundation and National Association of Science Teachers. The comprehensive approach will give special attention to providing in-service training of classroom teachers, defining more clearly those standards of science knowledge required at each school level, and developing curricula and instructional strategies to meet these standards. Whenever possible, existing resources shall be pooled to support this comprehensive program. Models for the program may include the California Writing Project; the California Mathematics Project; the EQUALS Project; the MESA Project; the University of California at Irvine’s Summer Science Institute; the Lawrence Hall of Science’s Programs for Schools; and the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory’s Science Education Center, Summer Science Institute, and Lesson In-service Science Workshop for Elementary and Middle School Teachers.

    This section requires California education authorities and local educational agencies to set up, adopt, and use approved reading-difficulty screening instruments for pupils in kindergarten through grade 2, with notice, timing, translation, and opt-out rules.

    ## Education Code - EDC ## TITLE 2. ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY EDUCATION [33000 - 65001] ( Title 2 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## DIVISION 4. INSTRUCTION AND SERVICES [46000 - 65001] ( Division 4 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## PART 28. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAMS [51000 - 53303] ( Part 28 enacted by Stats. 1976, Ch. 1010. ) ## CHAPTER 15.5. Screening for Risk of Reading Difficulties [53008 - 53009] ( Chapter 15.5 added by Stats. 2023, Ch. 48, Sec. 83. ) ## 53008. (a) (1) The Legislature finds and declares that screening pupils for risk of reading difficulties, including dyslexia, is one of many tools that educators can employ to gain information about how to support their pupils’ learning. Screening should be considered part of a school’s comprehensive instructional strategy, and should be used by educators like other types of formative and summative assessments: to inform individualized instruction, measure a pupil’s progress, identify pupil learning needs, and enable parents and educators to discuss pupil needs in a more informed way. (2) The Legislature further finds and declares that early identification and intervention with evidence-based early literacy instructional strategies and materials improves literacy outcomes for pupils at risk of, and with, reading difficulties, including dyslexia. Dyslexia is the most common learning disability; however, many pupils on the dyslexia spectrum struggle every day to read without proper identification and support. By screening all pupils for risk of reading difficulties early, California can help families and teachers achieve the best learning and life outcomes for all pupils and close academic achievement gaps. (3) It is the intent of the Legislature that local educational agencies be provided funding to offset costs related to administering pupil screenings pursuant to this section if the Commission on State Mandates determines that this section contains costs mandated by the state, pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (b) On or before January 31, 2024, the state board shall appoint an independent panel of experts for the purpose of creating an approved list of evidence-based, culturally, linguistically, and developmentally appropriate screening instruments for pupils in kindergarten and grades 1 and 2 to assess pupils for risk of reading difficulties, including possible neurological disorders such as dyslexia, pursuant to this section. The state board shall not appoint any person to the panel of experts with a financial interest in the screening instruments under consideration. The state board shall establish a review process, including how screening instruments will be evaluated against the criteria specified in subdivision (g), for the panel to use to evaluate and approve screening instruments. This subdivision does not prohibit the state board from periodically reconstituting this expert panel or updating the review process, nor does it prohibit the expert panel from periodically amending the list of screening instruments described in subdivision (c) at the request of the state board. (c) (1) The work of the panel of experts appointed by the state board pursuant to subdivision (b) is subject to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act (Article 9 (commencing with Section 11120) of Chapter 1 of Part 1 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Government Code) and all meetings of the panel are subject to the Bagley-Keene Open Meeting Act. (2) On or before December 31, 2024, the panel of experts appointed by the state board shall, at a regularly scheduled public meeting, vote to approve a list of screening instruments pursuant to the review process and evaluation criteria established by the state board pursuant to subdivision (b). The list shall include screening instruments that are developed both for English-speaking pupils and for non-English speaking pupils, in languages reflecting the primary languages of pupils in the state, to the extent assessments in those languages are available. The panel of experts shall also identify information about the appropriate administration of each screening instrument, including the appropriate grade or grades for administration of each screening instrument. (d) On or before June 30, 2025, the governing board or body of a local educational agency serving pupils in kindergarten or grades 1 or 2 shall adopt, at a public meeting, one or more screening instruments from the list adopted pursuant to subdivision (c) to assess pupils for risk of reading difficulties pursuant to this section. The screening instrument or instruments adopted shall provide assessments for both English-speaking pupils and non-English speaking pupils, in languages reflecting the primary languages of pupils in the local educational agency, to the extent assessments in those languages are available. (e) Commencing no later than the 2025–26 school year, and annually thereafter, a local educational agency serving pupils in kindergarten or grades 1 or 2 shall assess each pupil in kindergarten and grades 1 and 2 for risk of reading difficulties using the screening instrument or instruments adopted by the governing board or body of the local educational agency pursuant to subdivision (d), unless the pupil’s parent or guardian opts out of the screening in writing. In determining when during the school year to administer each screening instrument, a local educational agency shall consider whether pupils have received sufficient instruction in foundational reading skills to support a valid assessment. Nothing in this section restricts local educational agencies from providing additional pupil screenings or diagnostic evaluations, as appropriate. Employees administering screening instruments shall be appropriately trained to administer the instrument. (f) If a pupil enrolls for the first time in kindergarten or grades 1 or 2 after the screening instrument or instruments have been administered to all pupils in the given grade in that school year pursuant to subdivision (e), the local educational agency shall assess the pupil using the screening instrument or instruments adopted by the governing board or body of the local educational agency pursuant to subdivision (d) within 45 calendar days of enrollment, unless the pupil’s parent or guardian opts out of the screening in writing, or unless the parent or guardian provides documentation or the local educational agency has documentation that the pupil has had a similar screening in their prior school for their current grade and the parent or guardian was made aware of the results. (g) (1) To support the adoption of high-quality screening instruments that minimize the overidentification or underidentification of pupils’ risk of reading difficulties, and offer meaningful information for followup, the state board shall consider the extent to which a screening instrument addresses the following factors when adopting evaluation criteria pursuant to subdivision (b): (A) Use of direct measurement, supplemented by other pupil data, to determine if a pupil is at risk of a reading difficulty, including dyslexia. (B) Measurement of domains that may predict dyslexia and other reading disorders, including, but not limited to, measures of oral language, phonological and phonemic awareness, decoding skills, letter-sound knowledge, knowledge of letter names, rapid automatized naming, visual attention, reading fluency, vocabulary, and language comprehension. (C) Evidence that the tool is normed and validated using a contemporary multicultural and multilanguage sample of pupils, with outcome data for pupils whose home language is a language other than English as well as those who are native English speakers. (D) Integration of relevant pupil demographic information, such as home language, English language fluency, and access to prekindergarten education, to more fully understand a pupil’s performance. (E) Guidance and resources for educators regarding how to administer screening instruments, interpret results, explain results to families, including in pupils’ primary languages, and determine further educational strategies, assessments, diagnostics, and interventions that should be considered and that are specific to each type of pupil result. Guidance and resources provided pursuant to this subparagraph shall be informed by the English Language Arts/English Language Development Framework for California Public Schools developed pursuant to Section 60207 and the California Dyslexia Guidelines developed pursuant to Section 56335, as well as knowledge of effective interventions for the specific needs of individual pupils, and shall reflect a tiered interventions model aligned with the Multi-Tiered Systems of Support. (2) Assessments administered pursuant to this section shall not be considered an evaluation or diagnostic tool to establish eligibility for special education and related services pursuant to the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1400 et seq.), or an evaluation to determine eligibility for a plan pursuant to Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 794). However, assessments administered pursuant to this section shall not be used to delay the child find process required under the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act. Additionally, assessments administered pursuant to this section may be used by a local educational agency to recommend that a pupil receive further assessment and evaluation to establish eligibility for special education and related services pursuant to the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, or to determine eligibility for a plan pursuant to Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. (h) Pupils who do not speak sufficient English to be screened with an English-language instrument shall be screened pursuant to this section in their primary language if a screening instrument in their primary language approved pursuant to subdivision (c) is available. If a screening instrument is not available in at least one language in which a pupil is proficient, before the pupil can be screened, the pupil’s risk for reading difficulties shall be evaluated through an analysis of the pupil’s developmental history, educational history, and literacy progress, taking into account the pupil’s home background and evolving English language abilities, including speaking, listening, reading, spelling, and writing, consistent with the California Dyslexia Guidelines. Components of screening instruments that do not require English language proficiency may be used in this evaluation. When a pupil acquires sufficient English language knowledge and fluency to be able to be assessed using a screening instrument pursuant to this section, or if a screening instrument in their primary language becomes available, the local educational agency shall assess that pupil using the appropriate screening instrument. (i) A pupil may be exempted from the requirements of this section with the prior written consent of the parent or guardian if any of the following criteria are satisfied: (1) The pupil has a current identification or diagnosis of a reading difficulty, reading disorder, or other disability. (2) The pupil is eligible for special education and related services pursuant to the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or a plan pursuant to Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973. (3) The pupil is in the process of being assessed for eligibility for special education and related services pursuant to the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act or a plan pursuant to Section 504 of the federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the pupil is being evaluated with diagnostic assessments that make screening pursuant to this section redundant. (j) A local educational agency shall provide parents or guardians of pupils eligible for screening pursuant to this section with information about the screening, including the date or dates of the screening and instructions for how parents or guardians can opt out of the screening on behalf of their child, no later than 15 calendar days before the administration of the screening instrument or instruments. A local educational agency is encouraged to provide information about screening pursuant to this section with other back-to-school materials at the beginning of the school year. (k) Pupil results from assessments administered pursuant to this section shall be made available to the pupil’s parent or guardian in a timely manner, but no more than 45 calendar days from the date the assessment was administered. These results shall include information about how to interpret the results, as well as the next steps pursuant to subdivision (l), if applicable. (l) Screening results shall be used as a flag for potential risk of reading difficulties, not as a diagnosis of a disability. Results from a screening instrument shall be used as part of a broader process that further evaluates pupil needs and progress, identifies supports for classroom instruction, enables targeted individual intervention as needed, and allows for further diagnosis if concerns do not resolve. Accordingly, if a pupil is identified as being at risk of having reading difficulties after being screened pursuant to this section, the local educational agency shall provide the pupil with supports and services, appropriate to the specific challenges identified by the screening instrument and other pertinent information about the pupil, which may include, among other supports and services, any of the following: (1) Evidence-based literacy instruction focused on the pupil’s specific needs. (2) Progress monitoring. (3) Early intervention in the regular general education program. (4) One-on-one or small group tutoring. (5) Further evaluation or diagnostic assessment. (m) Results of an assessment administered pursuant to this section shall not be used for any high-stakes purpose, including, but not limited to, teacher or other school staff evaluation, accountability, pupil grade promotion or retention, identification for gifted or talented education, reclassification of English learners, or identification as an individual with exceptional needs. (n) Notifications to parents or guardians provided pursuant to this section shall comply with the translation requirements set forth in Section 48985. (o) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) “English learner” has the same meaning as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 306. (2) “Kindergarten” shall not include transitional kindergarten, as defined in subdivision (d) of Section 48000. (3) “Local educational agency” means a school district, county office of education, or charter school. (4) “Reading difficulties” means a barrier that impacts a pupil’s ability to learn to read or improve reading abilities, including dyslexia. (5) “Screening instrument” means a brief tool administered by an appropriately trained school employee, including, but not limited to, a certificated teacher of record, measuring discrete areas to determine pupils at risk of reading difficulties, including dyslexia.
