approval by the State Board of Education. Related onsite school and
district compliance visits and reviews are conducted by the
department.
Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
establish the process and frequency for conducting reviews of
district achievement and compliance with state and federal
categorical program requirements.
This bill would add to these provisions references to programs
funded through the local control funding formula, districtwide
advisory committees on bilingual education, and templates adopted for
the development of local control and accountability plans. The bill
would require school districts to develop local control and
accountability plans and annual updates in consultation with
schoolsite level advisory groups and ensure that the local control
and accountability plan and its specific actions are consistent with,
and reflective of, the goals and plans of the schoolsite.

Existing law requires a schoolsite council to be established at
each school that participates in school-based program coordination.

the county superintendent of schools to each establish an English
learner parent advisory committee if the enrollment of the school
district, or the enrollment of the pupils in the schools and programs
operated by the county superintendent of schools, includes a
specified percentage and number of English learners.
This bill would state the intent of the Legislature to enact

English learner parent advisory committees so as to better align the
operation of the councils and committees with the local control
funding formula.
