| CA | Signed into law 07/2010 | P-12 | Amends Section 45125.01. Adds to existing provision allowing a single district or county superintendent to act on behalf of multiple districts to run a background check if a person is an applicant for employment, or is employed on a part-time or substitute basis, in a position not requiring certification qualifications in multiple school districts within a county. New provision extends this provision to include background checks on noncertificated candidates assuming a paid or volunteer position.
Amends Section 49024. Specifies that a parent volunteering in a classroom or on a field trip, or a community member providing noninstructional services, is included in the definition of "nonteaching volunteer aide" (and as such, is not required to obtain an Activity Supervisor Clearance Certificate from the Commission on Teacher Credentialing). Adds that the requirement to obtain a certificate does not
apply to a candidate who is required by the school district to clear a Department of Justice and FBI criminal background check prior to beginning the paid or volunteer activities.

| CA | Signed into law 01/2010 | P-12 | Creates new sections 53300 and ff. of the Education Code, establishing new "Parent Empowerment" section. Provides that for any school not identified as a persistently low-achieving school under new Section 53201 (see enacted S.B. 1E http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/09-10/bill/sen/sb_0001-0050/sbx5_1_bill_20100107_chaptered.pdf), that is subject to corrective action under the No Child Left Behind (NCLB) Act and after one full year continues to fail to make adequate yearly progress (AYP), and has an Academic Performance Index score of less than 800, and in which at least half of parents of students or a combination of at least half of such and of parents of students in a feeder elementary or middle school sign a petition asking the district to implement one or more of the four interventions specified in new Section 53202 (the turnaround model, the restart model, school closure or the transformation model) or the federally mandated alternative governance arrangement identified in NCLB, requires the district to implement the option requested by the parents unless, in a regularly scheduled public meeting, the district makes a finding in writing stating why it cannot implement the specific recommended option and instead designates in writing which of the other
options it will implement in the subsequent school year consistent with federal requirements. Directs the district to notify the state superintendent and state board upon receipt of a petition, and upon its final disposition of that petition. Provides that if the district indicates it will implement a different alternative governance arrangement than requested by the parents, it must notify the state superintendent and the state board that the alternative governance option selected has substantial promise of enabling the school to make AYP. Provides that no more than 75 schools may be subject to such a petition (with schools counted toward this total upon state receipt of its final disposition of the petition).
