INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Quirk-Silva

                        FEBRUARY 21, 2014

   An act  to add Section 60902 to the Education Code, 
relating to education data systems.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2341, as amended, Quirk-Silva.  Education data systems:
military children.   California Longitudinal Pupil
Achievement Data System: pupils of military families.  
   Under existing law, the California Education Information System
establishes, conducts, and keeps up to date a basic, integrated,
statewide information system for education. The system includes,
among other things, data from the California Longitudinal Pupil
Achievement Data System and the California Basic Educational Data
System.  
   Existing law establishes the California Longitudinal Pupil
Achievement Data System, as provided, and requires the system to have
specified characteristics, including, among other things, the
capability to monitor pupil achievement on certain tests and the high
school exit examination from year to year and school to school.

   Existing law also ratifies the Interstate Compact on Educational
Opportunity for Military Children with the purpose of removing
barriers to educational success imposed on children of military
families due to the frequent moves and deployment of their parents.

   This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact
legislation to assign an identifier for military children in
education data systems.  
   This bill would require, on or before July 1, 2015, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction to add a reporting process
within the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System
requiring local educational agencies to report the enrollment of
pupils of military families. The bill would prohibit this data from
being used to compile reports required by specified federal
provisions. By requiring local educational agencies to report this
information, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.
 
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.  
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  no
  yes  . State-mandated local program:  no
  yes  .


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

   SECTION 1.    Section 60902 is added to the

compile reports required by the federal No Child Left Behind Act of

dropout and graduation rates. 
   SEC. 2.    If the Commission on State Mandates
determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs
shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of
Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.  
  SECTION 1.    It is the intent of the Legislature
to enact legislation that would assign an identifier for military
children in education data systems.
