	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2885, Jerome Horton.  School safety plans.
   Existing law makes each school district and county office of
education responsible for the overall development of comprehensive
school safety plans for their schools operating kindergarten and any
of grades 1 to 12, inclusive.
   Existing law authorizes the filing of a complaint of noncompliance
with the school safety plans under the Uniform Complaint Procedures.

   This bill would, instead,  authorize the filing , under those
procedures, of a complaint of noncompliance with the school safety
planning requirements of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of
2001.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 32289 is added to the Education Code, to read:

   32289.  A complaint of noncompliance with the school safety
planning requirements of Title IV of the federal No Child Left Behind
Act of 2001, 20 U.S.C. Sec. 7114(d)(7), may be filed with the
department under the Uniform Complaint Procedures as set forth in
Chapter 5.1 (commencing with Section 4600) of Title 5 of the
California Code of Regulations.
  SEC. 2.  Section 35294.95 of the Education Code is repealed.
