INTRODUCED BY Committee on Education (Senators Romero (Chair),
Alquist, Hancock, Huff, Liu, Maldonado, Padilla, Simitian, and
Wyland)
FEBRUARY 26, 2009
An act to amend Sections 17592.5, 47660,
24216.5, 47660, 51452, 52052, 52127, and 54026 of, and to
repeal Sections 41857 and 47623 of, the Education Code, and to amend
Section 53892.1 of the Government Code, relating to education.
LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 509, as amended, Committee on Education. Education.
(1) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school
district to provide for the transportation of pupils to and from
school by purchasing or renting vehicles, contracting and paying for
the transportation of pupils to and from school by common carrier or
municipally owned transit system, or contracting with and paying
responsible private parties for the transportation. In each fiscal
year, a school district or county office of education is entitled to
receive the same transportation allowance that it received in the
prior fiscal year, as calculated by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction based on the approved costs of home-to-school
transportation, as defined, of the district or county office.
This bill would repeal a provision specifying that a charter
school is eligible for funding pursuant to those provisions.
(2) Under existing law, an elementary school that has been
operated by the University of California at the Los Angeles campus
prior to January 1, 1994, may apply to become a charter school.
Existing law specifies, if an elementary school petitions either the
governing board of the local school district or the State Board of
Education to become a charter school, that the school shall receive
state apportionments equal to the statewide average revenue limit for
elementary schools plus other specified funding.
This bill would repeal the provisions requiring the charter school
to receive those funds.
(3) Existing law requires the Superintendent, with approval of the
state board, to develop the Academic Performance Index (API)
consisting of a variety of indicators currently reported to the State
Department of Education to track the achievement of schools and
their pupils. Statutory provisions establish a specific calculation
for graduation rates to be included within the API and require the
Superintendent to provide an annual report to the Legislature on
graduation and dropout rates in California. Existing law requires the
API to be used for specified purposes, including, but not limited
to, ranking all public schools in the state for purposes of the High
Achieving/Improving Schools Program.
This bill would include 5- and 6-year graduation rates in the
indicators currently reported to the department for purposes of
calculating a school's API. The bill would specify a formula to
calculate these rates, and would provide that schools receive partial
credit in their API scores for graduating pupils in 5 and 6 years,
except that schools would be granted full credit for graduating in 5
or 6 years a pupil with disabilities who graduates in accordance with
his or her individualized education program.
(4) Existing law authorizes the allocation of economic impact aid
funding to support educationally disadvantaged youth programs and
bilingual education, and requires the Superintendent to determine an
economic impact aid-eligible pupil count and calculate an amount of
economic impact aid for each school district. For charter schools
that are funded through the block grant funding model, as specified,
in the 2006-07 fiscal year, the department is required to use counts
as of October 2006 of pupils 5 to 17 years of age, inclusive, who are
living with families whose annual income is at or below the federal
poverty guideline, as defined, without revision.
This bill would delete the provision specifying that it shall be
without revision.
(5) Existing law requires the Superintendent to furnish the
Controller with certain data no later than 6 months following the
close of each fiscal year.
This bill would instead require the Superintendent to make certain
data available on an as-needed basis.
(6) The bill also would update and correct
specified various statutory cross references.
Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.

Section 47606, shall include all attendance of pupils who reside in
the unified school district and who would otherwise have been
eligible to attend a noncharter school of the school district, if the
school district was a basic aid school district in the prior fiscal
year, or if the pupils reside in the unified school district and
attended a charter school of that school district that converted to
charter status on or after July 1, 2005. Only the attendance of the
pupils described by this paragraph shall be included in the
calculation made pursuant to paragraph (7) of subdivision (h) of
Section 42238.
(2) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), for the 2005-06 fiscal year
only, for purposes of computing eligibility for, and entitlements to,
revenue limit funding, the average daily attendance of a unified
school district, other than a unified school district that has
converted all of its schools to charter status pursuant to Section
47606 and is operating them as charter schools, shall include all
attendance of pupils who reside in the unified school district and
who would otherwise have been eligible to attend a noncharter school

forth in Section 42238.1, if this adjustment is provided, and also
adjusted for equalization, deficit reduction, and other state
general-purpose increases, if any, provided for the unified school
district in the year of conversion to, and operation as ,
a charter school.
(2) For a subsequent fiscal year, the general-purpose entitlement
shall be determined based on the amount per unit of average daily
attendance allocated in the prior fiscal year adjusted for the base
revenue limit per pupil inflation increase adjustment set forth in

SEC. 6. Section 51452 of the Education
Code is amended to read:
51452. The State Board of Education state
board shall determine and adopt, based upon the
recommendations of the Superintendent of Public Instruction
, the following:
(a) The means by which students pupils
may demonstrate mastery of the curriculum. For subject
matter areas included in the Golden State Examination (Article 5
(commencing with Section 60650) of Chapter 5 of Part 33), that
examination shall serve as the means by which students may
demonstrate mastery of the curriculum. For other
subject matter areas, the means may include, but shall not
be limited to, any subject matter examinations deemed appropriately
rigorous by the state board. For this purpose, the
state board may designate examinations administered by or under
the auspices of the State Department of Education
department , or examinations produced by private
providers or local educational agencies, that are supervised and
administered under conditions that are deemed adequate by the
state board.
(b) Student Pupil performance
standards or achievement levels that demonstrate mastery of the
curriculum.
SEC. 5. SEC. 7. Section 52052 of the
Education Code is amended to read:
52052. (a) (1) The Superintendent, with approval of the state
board, shall develop an Academic Performance Index (API), to measure
the performance of schools, especially the academic performance of
pupils.
(2) A school shall demonstrate comparable improvement in academic
achievement as measured by the API by all numerically significant
pupil subgroups at the school, including:
(A) Ethnic subgroups.
(B) Socioeconomically disadvantaged pupils.
(C) English language learners.
(D) Pupils with disabilities.
(3) (A) For purposes of this section, a numerically significant
pupil subgroup is one that meets both of the following criteria:
(i) The subgroup consists of at least 50 pupils each of whom has a
valid test score.
(ii) The subgroup constitutes at least 15 percent of the total
population of pupils at a school who have valid test scores.
(B) If a subgroup does not constitute 15 percent of the total
population of pupils at a school who have valid test scores, the
subgroup may constitute a numerically significant pupil subgroup if
it has at least 100 valid test scores.
(C) For a school with an API score that is based on no fewer than
11 and no more than 99 pupils with valid test scores, numerically
significant subgroups shall be defined by the Superintendent, with
approval by the state board.
(4) The API shall consist of a variety of indicators currently
reported to the department, including, but not limited to, the
results of the achievement test administered pursuant to Section
60640, attendance rates for pupils in elementary schools, middle
schools, and secondary schools, and the graduation rates for pupils
in secondary schools.
(A) Graduation rates for pupils in secondary schools shall be
calculated for the API as follows:
(i) Four-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking
the number of pupils who graduated on time for the current
school year, which is considered to be three school years after the
pupils entered grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number
by the total calculated in clause (ii).
(ii) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in
the school year three school years prior to the current school year,
plus the number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating
at the end of the current school year between the school year that
was three school years prior to the current school year and the date
of graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the
school between the school year that was three school years prior to
the current school year and the date of graduation who were members
of the class that is graduating at the end of the current school
year.
(iii) Five-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the
number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school year,
which is considered to be four school years after the pupils entered
grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the total
calculated in clause (iv).
(iv) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in
the school year four years prior to the current school year, plus the
number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating at the
end of the current school year between the school year that was four
school years prior to the current school year and the date of
graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the
school between the school year that was four years prior to the
current school year and the date of graduation who were members of
the class that is graduating at the end of the current school year.
(v) Six-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the
number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school year,
which is considered to be five school years after the pupils entered
grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the total
calculated in clause (vi).
(vi) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in
the school year five years prior to the current school year, plus the
number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating at the
end of the current school year between the school year that was five
school years prior to the current school year and the date of
graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the
school between the school year that was five years prior to the
current school year and the date of graduation who were members of
the class that is graduating at the end of the current school year.
(B) The inclusion of five- and six-year graduation rates for
pupils in secondary schools shall meet the following requirements:
(i) Schools shall be granted one-half the credit in their API
scores for graduating pupils in five years that they are granted for
graduating pupils in four years.
(ii) Schools shall be granted one-quarter the credit in their API
scores for graduating pupils in six years that they are granted for
graduating pupils in four years.
(iii) Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii), schools shall be
granted full credit in their API scores for graduating in five or six
years a pupil with disabilities who graduates in accordance with his
or her individualized education program (IEP).
(C) The pupil data collected for the API that comes from the
achievement test administered pursuant to Section 60640 and the high
school exit examination administered pursuant to Section 60851, when
fully implemented, shall be disaggregated by special education
status, English language learners, socioeconomic status, gender, and
ethnic group. Only the test scores of pupils who were counted as part
of the enrollment in the annual data collection of the California
Basic Educational Data System for the current fiscal year and who
were continuously enrolled during that year may be included in the
test result reports in the API score of the school. Results of the
achievement test and other tests specified in subdivision (b) shall
constitute at least 60 percent of the value of the index.
(D) Before including high school graduation rates and attendance
rates in the API, the Superintendent shall determine the extent to
which the data currently are reported to the state and the accuracy
of the data. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, graduation
rates for pupils in dropout recovery high schools shall not be
included in the API. For purposes of this subparagraph, "dropout
recovery high school" means a high school in which 50 percent or more
of its pupils have been designated as dropouts pursuant to the
exit/withdrawal codes developed by the department.
(E) The Superintendent shall provide an annual report to the
Legislature on the graduation and dropout rates in California and
shall make the same report available to the public. The report shall
be accompanied by the release of publicly accessible data for each
school district and school in a manner that provides for
disaggregation based upon socioeconomically disadvantaged pupils and
numerically significant subgroups scoring below average on statewide
standards-aligned assessments. In addition, the data shall be made
available in a manner that provides for comparisons of a minimum of
three years of data.
(b) Pupil scores from the following tests, when available and when
found to be valid and reliable for this purpose, shall be
incorporated into the API:
(1) The standards-based achievement tests provided for in Section
60642.5.
(2) The high school exit examination.
(c) Based on the API, the Superintendent shall develop, and the
state board shall adopt, expected annual percentage growth targets
for all schools based on their API baseline score from the previous
year. Schools are expected to meet these growth targets through
effective allocation of available resources. For schools below the
statewide API performance target adopted by the state board pursuant
to subdivision (d), the minimum annual percentage growth target shall
be 5 percent of the difference between the actual API score of a
school and the statewide API performance target, or one API point,
whichever is greater. Schools at or above the statewide API
performance target shall have, as their growth target, maintenance of
their API score above the statewide API performance target. However,
the state board may set differential growth targets based on grade
level of instruction and may set higher growth targets for the lowest
performing schools because they have the greatest room for
improvement. To meet its growth target, a school shall demonstrate
that the annual growth in its API is equal to or more than its
schoolwide annual percentage growth target and that all numerically
significant pupil subgroups, as defined in subdivision (a), are
making comparable improvement.
(d) Upon adoption of state performance standards by the state
board, the Superintendent shall recommend, and the state board shall
adopt, a statewide API performance target that includes consideration
of performance standards and represents the proficiency level
required to meet the state performance target. When the API is fully
developed, schools, at a minimum, shall meet their annual API growth
targets to be eligible for the Governor's Performance Award Program
as set forth in Section 52057. The state board may establish
additional criteria that schools must meet to be eligible for the
Governor's Performance Award Program.
(e) The API shall be used for both of the following:
(1) Measuring the progress of schools selected for participation
in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program
pursuant to Section 52053.
(2) Ranking all public schools in the state for the purpose of the
High Achieving/Improving Schools Program pursuant to Section 52056.
(f) (1) A school with 11 to 99 pupils with valid test scores shall
receive an API score with an asterisk that indicates less
statistical certainty than API scores based on 100 or more test
scores.
(2) A school annually shall receive an API score, unless the
Superintendent determines that an API score would be an invalid
measure of the performance of the school for one or more of the
following reasons:
(A) Irregularities in testing procedures occurred.
(B) The data used to calculate the API score of the school are not
representative of the pupil population at the school.
(C) Significant demographic changes in the pupil population render
year-to-year comparisons of pupil performance invalid.
(D) The department discovers or receives information indicating
that the integrity of the API score has been compromised.
(E) Insufficient pupil participation in the assessments included
in the API.
(3) If a school has fewer than 100 pupils with valid test scores,
the calculation of the API or adequate yearly progress pursuant to
the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 6301 et
seq.) and federal regulations may be calculated over more than one
annual administration of the tests administered pursuant to Section
60640 and the high school exit examination administered pursuant to
Section 60851, consistent with regulations adopted by the state
board.
(g) Only schools with 100 or more test scores contributing to the
API may be included in the API rankings.
(h) The Superintendent, with the approval of the state board,
shall develop an alternative accountability system for schools under
the jurisdiction of a county board of education or a county
superintendent of schools, community day schools, nonpublic,
nonsectarian schools pursuant to Section 56366, and alternative
schools serving high-risk pupils, including continuation high schools
and opportunity schools. Schools in the alternative accountability
system may receive an API score, but shall not be included in the API
rankings.
SEC. 6. SEC. 8. Section 52127 of the
Education Code is amended to read:
52127. (a) As a condition to receiving an apportionment pursuant
to Section 52126, school districts shall have a staff development
program that requires a certificated teacher who will provide direct
instructional services for a class participating in the school
district's class size reduction program to receive the appropriate
training necessary to maximize the educational advantages of class
size reduction. This training shall include, but not be limited to,
methods for providing each of the following:
(1) Individualized instruction.
(2) Effective teaching, including classroom management, in smaller
classes.
(3) Identifying and responding to pupil needs.
(4) Opportunities to build on the individual strengths of pupils.
(b) School districts may use funds currently received for staff
development or funds received under this chapter to meet the
requirements of this section.

(d).
(B) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) or subparagraph (A), for charter
schools that are funded through the block grant funding model
pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of
Part 26.8 in the 2006-07 fiscal year, the department shall use
counts as of October 2006 of pupils 5 to 17 years of age, inclusive,
who are living with families whose annual income is at or below the
federal poverty guideline, as collected through the first principal
apportionment data collection process, as defined in Section 41601.
Commencing in the 2007-08 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall use
counts as of October of the prior year of pupils 5 to 17 years of
age, inclusive, who are living with families whose annual income is
at or below the federal poverty guideline, as collected through the
