the Education Code, relating to American Indian education programs.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 911, Hertzberg. California American Indian education centers.
   Existing law, to be repealed on January 1, 2017, provides for the
establishment of California American Indian education centers by any
tribal group or incorporated American Indian association to meet
specified objectives, and further provides for the administration of
grants, upon application, by the State Department of Education for
those purposes in accordance with specified provisions. Existing law
requires each center to annually submit specified data to the
department that reflects each center's ability to meet its stated
objectives, and requires the department, on or before January 1,
2011, and again on or before January 1, 2016, to report consolidated
results for all California American Indian education centers, provide
information required to evaluate the results, and make
recommendations for program improvement.
   This bill would instead require each center to submit data that
reflects the center's progress toward meeting its stated objectives
and any other objectives chosen by the center. The bill would require
the department to report the information on or before January 1,
2021, and every 5 years thereafter, and would specify that the
information shall be reported to the appropriate fiscal and policy
committees of the Legislature. The bill would also delete the January
1, 2017, repeal date.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 33384 of the Education Code is amended to read:

   33384.  (a) (1) Each center shall annually submit a report to the
department that includes appropriate data, presented in a format
developed jointly with the department, that reflects each center's
progress toward meeting its stated objectives, including pupil
academic performance, meeting the continued educational and cultural
needs of the community that the center serves, and any other
objectives chosen by the center.
   (2) On or before January 1, 2021, and every five years thereafter,
the department shall report all of the following information to the
appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature:
   (A) Consolidated results for all centers, consistent with federal
law regarding the privacy of pupil information.
   (B) Information required to evaluate the consolidated results.
   (C) Recommendations for program improvement.
   (b) The centers shall maintain sound fiscal policies. The
department shall provide technical assistance and training to the
centers in order to assist the centers to maintain sound fiscal
policies. The department may require an annual program audit.
However, if the department deems it fiscally unsound for the centers
to provide an annual audit, a fiscal review shall suffice.
   (c) The department shall provide technical assistance and
professional development to the directors of the California American
Indian education centers throughout the year that shall include
timely documented responses and professional guidance meant to
improve center programs.
  SEC. 2.  Section 33385 of the Education Code is repealed.
