Local educational agencies: annual reporting requirements: IDEA Addendum.
- Extends the deadline for school reporting requirements to January 1, 2027.
- Eliminates the requirement for schools to implement new special education service improvements.
- Requires the Department of Education to analyze and recommend ways to reduce school reporting burdens.
- Mandates legislative hearings to review recommendations for streamlining school reports.
Senator Archuleta's education accountability measure modifies two key reporting requirements affecting California's local educational agencies. The legislation extends the sunset date for a comprehensive review of school district reporting obligations while eliminating planned requirements for special education service improvements.
Under the bill's provisions, the State Department of Education would maintain until January 1, 2027, its mandate to analyze and recommend consolidation or elimination of annual reports currently required from school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools. The department must submit its findings to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, Governor, and Legislature by March 1, 2025. The analysis examines each report's purpose and solicits input from diverse educational agencies to identify opportunities for streamlining documentation requirements.
The measure also removes previously established requirements for the State Board of Education to adopt an IDEA Addendum focused on special education services. This eliminates the January 31, 2027 deadline for the board to develop the addendum and nullifies the July 1, 2027 implementation date when certain local educational agencies would have needed to incorporate those provisions into their operations. The bill requires a majority vote for passage and includes fiscal committee review, though it contains no direct appropriations or local program mandates.
