Version:

Existing law establishes the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress as the statewide system of pupil assessment, under which various assessments are required or authorized to be administered in public schools, including, among others, summative assessments aligned to the common core state standards in English language arts and mathematics, and alternative assessments, as specified.

This bill would require the State Department of Education to provide, upon request, technical assistance to a rural school district pertaining to the districts implementation and administration of the assessment system.

Existing law, the Charter Schools Act of 1992, requires a pupil over 19 years of age, in order to be eligible for generating charter school apportionments, to be continuously enrolled in a public school and make satisfactory progress towards a high school diploma. Existing law provides an exception to those provisions for a charter school that provides instruction exclusively in partnership with one of specified entities if the charter schools charter was granted before July 1, 2014. The provision limiting that exception to charter schools chartered before July 1, 2014, becomes inoperative on July 1, 2015, and is repealed on January 1, 2016.

This bill would continue until July 1, 2017, the operation of the requirement that the charter school be chartered before July 1, 2014.
