SUMMARY: States the intent of the Legislature that the State Board of Education (SBE) consider appointing a student member to the Instructional Quality Commission (IQC), and establishes the terms of any student appointment to the IQC. Specifically, this bill:
States the intent of the Legislature to encourage the SBE to consider appointing a pupil to the IQC, using the current appointment process.
Requires that if the SBE appoints a student to the IQC, the student must have been enrolled in a California high school for a minimum of two consecutive years and be in good standing.
Requires that a student member of the IQC serve for a one-year term prohibits that member from serving more than one full term.
Establishes a student member as a voting member with the full rights and duties of the other members of the IQC.
The Senate amendments change the requirement that a student be appointed to the IQC to a statement of legislative intent, and change the process by which a student would be appointed from a requirement that he or she be chosen from the finalist candidates for the student member position on the SBE to a requirement that any student member be appointed using the current appointment process to the IQC.
EXISTING LAW:
Establishes the IQC as an advisory body to the SBE, and authorizes it to study problems of courses of study in the schools of the state, and, upon request of the SBE, recommend to the adoption of minimum standards for courses of study in preschool, kindergarten, elementary, and secondary schools. Requires that courses of study in the public schools conform to such minimum standards when adopted.

Requires that at least seven of the 13 public members appointed by the SBE be recognized authorities or experienced practitioners in their fields.
Requires that at least seven of the public members be current classroom teachers.
Encourages the SBE to consider the role of other representatives of the educational community in the development of curriculum and instructional materials, including administrators, school board members, and parents who are reflective of the various ethnic groups and types of school districts in California.
Requires the Governor to appoint a student member to the SBE, with the advice and consent of two-thirds of the Senate, and establishes the process for selecting the student member.
Establishes the term of office of the student member as one year, beginning on August 1.
Requires the student to be at the time of his or her term, a student enrolled in good standing in grade 12 in a public high school. Requires that the student member be selected from three students recommended by the SBE.
Establishes the student as a voting member with the full rights and duties of the other 10 members of the SBE.
Allows the SBE, whenever it is required by law to appoint members to a board, commission, or other statutorily created body, to also appoint a nonvoting student member to that body.
FISCAL EFFECT: According to the Senate Appropriations Committee, pursuant to Senate Rule 28.8, negligible state costs.
COMMENTS:
Need for the bill. The author's office states, "The current membership structure of IQC does not include student participation as members. It's important to recognize that students are the largest stakeholders in the state's education system and deserve an opportunity to participate in the development of curriculum, standards, and instructional material recommendations through representation on the IQC.
"The student member of the State Board of Education provides student opinion to the Board. However, the student perspective is not included, aside from public comment, in the development of curriculum and instructional materials by the IQC that are used to instruct millions of students in California. Adding one student member to the IQC will recognize the students' perspective on how and what they are taught."
A one-year appointment to a multi-year process. This bill establishes a one-year term for the student representative to the IQC. Many of the IQC's projects are multi-year in nature, such as the revisions to curriculum frameworks. But it is worth noting that much of the SBE's work is multi-year in nature, and in that setting a student representative has been able to contribute to the Board's work.

The term of office of the student member is set at one year, beginning on August 1, and is limited to one term. The student must be, at the time the student’s term on the SBE begins, enrolled in good standing in grade 12 in a public high school. (EC § 33000.5)
Authorizes the SBE, whenever it is authorized by law to appoint members to a board, commission, or other statutorily created body, to also appoint a nonvoting student member to that body. (EC § 33011)

ARGUMENTS IN SUPPORT: According to the Association of California School Administrators, “Currently, the student member on the SBE provides the student perspective to the board. However, this perspective is not included, aside from public comment, in the development of curriculum and instructional materials by the IQC. We believe that it is important to have genuine input of our students as the IQC develops and recommends new curriculum, instructional materials, and standards to the SBE.”

COMMENTS:
Need for the bill. The author’s office states, “The current membership structure of IQC does not include student participation as members. It’s important to recognize that students are the largest stakeholders in the state’s education system and deserve an opportunity to participate in the development of curriculum, standards, and instructional material recommendations through representation on the IQC.
The student member of the State Board of Education provides student opinion to the Board. However, the student perspective is not included, aside from public comment, in the development of curriculum and instructional materials by the IQC that are used to instruct millions of students in California. Adding one student member to the IQC will recognize the students’ perspective on how and what they are taught.” |
Process for selecting a student member. Current law specifies the process for selecting the student member for the SBE. It involves the following steps:
The SBE notifies every school district governing board, district superintendent, high school principal, high school student activities director, and student body president by September 15 of each year that applications are being accepted for the student member's position.
Applications for the student member's position are submitted to the SBE no later than October 31 of each year.
A screening committee of the SBE selects 12 semifinalists for the student member's position.
Local school board student members select six candidates from the 12 semifinalists.
The SBE, by December 31 of each year, selects three finalists for the Governor's consideration and ranks the finalists according to their preference. The Governor then chooses the student to appoint and submits the name to the Senate for confirmation.
This bill does not specify a process for the selection of the IQC student member. The author indicates that his intent is to allow one of the two semifinalists not chosen for the SBE position to be appointed by the Governor, thereby avoiding a separate process and associated costs. Staff recommends that the bill be amended to require the selection of the student member from among the two finalist candidates not appointed to the SBE.
A one-year appointment to a multi-year process. This bill proposes a one-year term for the student representative to the IQC. Many of the IQC’s projects are multi-year in nature, such as the revisions to curriculum frameworks. But it is worth noting that much of the SBE’s work is multi-year in nature, and in that setting a student representative has been able to contribute to the Board’s work.
Change in composition retains classroom teacher majority. Adding one member to the IQC would change the composition such that current classroom teachers would not comprise a majority. To address this, the bill proposes to increase the teacher membership on the IQC in order to maintain the majority of current classroom teachers on the Commission.
