   An act to add Section 49417 to the Education Code, relating to
pupils.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1368, as amended, Pan. Pupils: California Healthy Kids Survey.
   Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the
State Board of Education, and the State Department of Education to
provide to the State Chief Information Officer the individual
nonpersonally identifiable or aggregate data related to, among other
things, pupil assessment and accountability, including, but not
limited to, data generated from, or related to, adequate yearly
progress, graduation rates, pupils who drop out of school, and
demographics of pupils and teachers.
   Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, on
or before August 1, 2011, and annually thereafter, to submit to the
Governor, the Legislature, and the  State Board of Education
  state board  a report called the Annual Report on
Dropouts in California. Existing law requires the report to include
specified information and authorizes the report to include relevant
data on school climate and pupil engagement from the California
Healthy Kids Survey.
   This bill would establish the California Healthy Kids Survey,
which would be intended to collect data on specified pupil
perceptions. The bill would require a school district, to the extent
that funding is made available, to administer the California Healthy
Kids Survey on a  biannual   biennial 
basis to pupils in grades 5, 7, 9, and 11, and would require a school
district to comply with specified parent and guardian notification
and consent provisions prior to administering the survey, thereby
imposing a state-mandated local program.  The bill would also
require that the data collected by the California Healthy Kids Survey
be confidential and anonymous. 
   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: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.
