Summary

Assembly Member Solache's education accountability measure adds LGBTQ+ student support initiatives as a required state priority within California school districts' and county education offices' Local Control and Accountability Plans (LCAPs). The bill amends the Education Code to mandate that these plans address inclusive facility access, curriculum materials, campus activities, teacher training, and anti-bullying measures for LGBTQ+ students.

Under the legislation, school districts and county education offices must incorporate specific LGBTQ+ supportive policies into their three-year LCAPs, which require annual updates. These additions align with existing Education Code provisions on facilities access, instructional content, participation in school activities, staff professional development, and harassment prevention. The plans must be developed in consultation with teachers, administrators, school staff, labor representatives, parents, and students.

The measure designates implementation of these initiatives as the ninth state priority for school district LCAPs and the eleventh priority for county education offices, alongside current priorities like student achievement, engagement, and school climate. While the bill creates new planning and reporting requirements, it includes provisions for state reimbursement of associated local costs if determined necessary by the Commission on State Mandates.
