SB 404: California School for the Blind.
- Session Year: 2021-2022
- House: Senate
- Latest Version Date: 2021-02-12
Existing law states that the object of the California School for the Blind is the education of visually impaired, blind, and deaf-blind pupils who, because of their severe sensory loss and educational needs, cannot receive an appropriate educational program and related services in the regular public schools. Existing law authorizes the Superintendent of Public Instruction, in connection with the California School for the Blind and in cooperation with public and private agencies, to, among other things, promote community and continuing education opportunities for visually impaired, blind, and deaf-blind individuals using existing community resources.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision.
The Superintendent of Public Instruction, Superintendent, in connection with the California School for the Blind and in cooperation with public and private agencies, may:
(a)Serve as a demonstration school to promote personnel development through student teaching, in-service education, internships, and professional observations for special education and related services personnel, in cooperation with institutions of higher education and local education educational agencies.
(b)Serve as a resource center to develop and disseminate special curriculum, media, teaching methods and instructional materials adapted for visually impaired, blind, and deaf-blind individuals, achievement tests, and other assessment methods useful to the instruction of visually impaired, blind, and deaf-blind individuals.
