CASigned into law 09/2004P-12Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to annually monitor and review school district certificated employee assignment practices according to certain priorities with first priority going to schools and school districts that are likely to have problems with teacher misassignment and teacher vacancies based on past experience or other available information. Existing law requires a county superintendent of schools to submit an annual report to the Commission on Teacher Credentialing summarizing the results of all assignment monitoring and reviews.

This bill requires the county superintendent of schools to give priority to schools ranked in deciles 1 to 3, inclusive, of the Academic Performance Index, as defined, if those schools are not currently under review through a state or federal intervention program. The bill requires a county superintendent of schools to investigate school and district efforts to ensure that any credentialed teacher in an assignment requiring a certificate authorizing the holder to teach English language development to English learners or training that authorizes the holder to teach English language development to English learners completes the necessary requirements for one of those certificates or completes the required training.

This bill requires a county superintendent of schools to submit the annual report summarizing the results of assignment monitoring and reviews to the department. The bill requires that report to include information on certificated employee assignment practices in schools ranked in deciles 1 to 3, inclusive, of the Academic Performance Index, as defined, to ensure that in any classes in these schools in which 20% or more pupils are English learners, the assigned teachers possess a certificate authorizing the holder to teach English language development to English learners or have completed training that would authorize them to teach English language development to English learners or are to the duties of county superintendents of schools, the bill imposes a state-mandated local program.

The bill requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to submit a summary of the reports submitted by county superintendents of schools to the Legislature and requires the Legislature to hold public hearings on pupil access to teachers and to related statutory provisions. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_3001-3050/ab_3001_bill_20040929_chaptered.pdf

Requires the county superintendent for the Counties of Alpine, Amador, Del Norte, Mariposa, Plumas, Sierra, and the City and County of San Francisco to contract with a neighboring county office of education or an independent auditor to conduct the required visits and make all required reports.

LASigned into law 07/2004P-12Subject to appropriation, creates the Kindergarten Plus pilot program of classes, at least one in each of the state's eight regional service districts, of extended kindergarten for disadvantaged children from the 2005-06 through the 2007-08 school year. For purposes of this program, disadvantaged children are those eligible to participate in the federal free and reduced-cost lunch program. Every local board is invited to submit a proposal to the department to provide such a class in one of its schools. Should a large number of qualified proposals be submitted from one regional service district, the winning class must be selected by random drawing. Kindergarten Plus classes will offer full-day kindergarten starting two months before the kindergarten classes in the local district.

Requires the department, with state board approval, to establish rubrics of evaluation for use in every participating school which must be designed to provide clear and usable information regarding the effect the additional two months of kindergarten has on the students' academic achievement and overall school success when compared to similar students who enroll in the regularly provided kindergarten classes extended through their primary grades.

Based on an analysis of the evaluations of the effect of Kindergarten Plus classes, beginning in the 2008-2009 school year, the department may expand the number of schools participating in the pilot, continue the pilot limited to eight schools, or discontinue the Kindergarten Plus classes.

Requires annual reporting to the legislature on the progress, evaluations, the analysis of the evaluations, and department opinion on the expansion, continuation or discontinuation of Kindergarten Plus. http://www.legis.state.la.us/leg_docs/04RS/CVT9/OUT/0000LVK1.PDF
