| CA | Vetoed 09/2004 | P-12 | Existing law establishes the Public School Performance Accountability Program which consists of the Academic Performance
Index (API), the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program, and the High Achieving/Improving Schools Program. The API
measures the performance of schools and the academic performance of pupils and consists of a variety of indicators.
This bill states the intent of the Legislature to establish the Opportunity for Teaching and Learning (OTL) index as part of the
Public School Performance Accountability Program to measure the opportunities for teaching and learning as evidenced by access to
high-quality learning resources, conditions, and opportunities, based on standards that specify what all schools should have available for
instruction and support.
This bill requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to, beginning in 2006, publish OTL index values for each school at
the same time and in the same manner as the API. The superintendent is required to, no later than October 15, 2005, develop the OTL index that includes various specified indicators. The superintendent is required to determine a method for computing an OTL index for each school on an annual basis, and to determine minimal standards for indicators measured within the OTL index on a school-level basis.
This bill would provide that its provisions are to be implemented only if funds are appropriated for its purposes. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_1401-1450/sb_1419_bill_20040818_enrolled.html

Postsec. | Requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing and, where appropriate, the State Department of Education, to incorporate into licensure requirements for teacher candidates, professional development requirements for renewal of licenses, and accreditation requirements for preparation programs components to ensure that teachers are capable of teaching children with diverse needs, ethnicities, nationalities, and
languages, of teaching children who bring particular challenges to the learning process, and of teaching in urban and rural settings.
Repeals provisions authorizing the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to issue or renew emergency teaching or specialist permits in accordance with regulations adopted by the commission and provided that certain conditions are met.
Authorizes the commission to issue or renew acute and anticipated emergency credentials, as defined. Requires an applicant seeking an emergency permit to meet specified criteria, including possession of a baccalaureate degree and passage of the state basic skills proficiency test. Provides that both types of permits shall be valid for only one year, except that the anticipated emergency permit may be renewed for
an additional year if the permitholder meets specified requirements.
Existing law requires that a person employed in a position requiring certification qualifications be classified on a salary schedule on the basis or uniform allowance for years of training and years of experience, as specified. This bill imposes a state-mandated local program by requiring the governing board of a school district to review its compensation policies and revise them as needed to ensure that the continuing professional education for which it grants salary credit is targeted to courses likely to yield clear benefit in terms of the pedagogical instructional leadership, management skills, or academic subject matter knowledge of its employees.]
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to eliminate waivers authorizing the assignment of a credentialholder to a position not authorized by the credential of the holder and that they be authorized only in cases where there is no other alternative but to fill the position with a 30-day substitute teacher. The bill would further express the intent of the Legislature that each teacher serving in a school ranked in the bottom 3 deciles of the Academic Performance Index possess a valid teaching credential authorizing the holder to provide the service to which the holder is assigned.
This bill would also express the intent of the Legislature that this act accomplish specified objectives, including, but not limited to, establishing professional development activities that reward exceptional teachers for continuing to render services in a classroom, collaborations among school districts, professional associations, and postsecondary educational institutions to develop and offer preparation and degree or credential programs that will prepare educational leaders, and that the California State University and the University of California develop technologically delivered professional development and coursework for teachers in geographically isolated areas.

| CA | Signed into law 09/2004 | P-12 | SEC. 1: Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to report to the Superintendent of Public Instruction on the financial condition of a school district if the county superintendent determines a school district may be unable to meet its financial obligations for the current or 2 subsequent fiscal years or if a school district has a qualified or negative certification. Existing law requires the county superintendent to take at least one of certain actions and all actions that are necessary to ensure that the district meets its financial obligations.
This bill requires those possible actions to include assigning the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team to review district teacher hiring practices, teacher retention rate, percentage of provision of highly qualified teachers, and the extent of teacher misassignment and
also to provide the district with recommendations to streamline and improve the teacher hiring process, teacher retention rate, extent of
teacher misassignment, and provision of highly qualified teachers.

| CA | Signed into law 09/2004 | P-12 | Existing 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

| CA | Signed into law 09/2004 | P-12 | Existing law requires the State Department of Education to establish a statewide system of school support that provides intensive and sustained support and technical assistance for school districts, county offices of education, and schools in need of improvement. Existing law requires the system to provide assistance by reviewing and analyzing all facets of a school's operation and by assisting the school in developing recommendations for improving pupil performance and school operations.
This bill requires the review and analysis to include the recruitment, hiring, and retention of principals, teachers, and other staff, including vacancy issues and the roles and responsibilities of district and school management personnel. The bill would authorize the system to access the assistance of the Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team to review district or school recruitment, hiring, and retention practices. The bill would require the system also to assist schools and districts in efforts to eliminate misassignments of certificated personnel. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/asm/ab_3001-3050/ab_3001_bill_20040929_chaptered.pdf
