          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016






          Bill  
          Summary:  This bill requires the California Department of  
          Education (CDE) to identify professional development programs in  
          culturally responsive instruction and provide links to those  
          programs on its website.  


          Fiscal  
          Impact:  
           CDE estimates about $150,000 one-time General Fund for experts  
            to review and identify programs to post online and for CDE  
            staff to support the project.  These costs include the  
            substitute reimbursements and travel costs for 20 volunteer

            teachers to serve as reviewers for three days and for four  
            content experts.  To the extent that the intent of this bill  
            could also be met with consultation of a select few experts  
            and a comparable reduction in administrative oversight, costs  
            to the state would be less.


          Committee  
          Amendments:  Strikes the authorization that local educational  
          agencies may use professional development funding appropriated  
          in the Budget Act of 2015 to provide professional development in  
          culturally responsive instruction.
