California Legislature—2013–14 Regular Session

Assembly BillNo. 1083


Introduced by Assembly Member Brown

February 22, 2013


An act to amend Section 33126.15 of the Education Code, relating to school accountability.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 1083, as introduced, Brown. School accountability report card: standardized template.

Existing law requires the State Department of Education to develop and recommend for adoption by the State Board of Education a standardized template intended to simplify the process for completing the school accountability report card and to make the school accountability report card more meaningful to the public. Existing law requires the department, by July 1, 2006, to develop, and recommend for adoption by the state board, a revision to the standardized template.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to that latter provision.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
