County superintendent of schools: inspection of public schools.
- Extends the deadline for county superintendents to inspect priority schools from 4 to 8 weeks into the school year.
- Requires superintendents to prioritize inspecting schools with reported textbook shortages or safety hazards.
- Mandates annual inspections to verify sufficient textbooks and safe facility conditions in public schools.
- Establishes state reimbursement for counties to implement the new inspection requirements.
Assembly Member Sharp-Collins proposes modifying how county superintendents conduct annual school inspections by extending review deadlines and implementing new prioritization criteria for schools identified on the state's oversight list.
The legislation extends the completion deadline for annual school reviews from the fourth to the eighth week of the school year, specifically for schools listed during the 2024-25 fiscal year review cycle. County superintendents must prioritize inspections of schools where surveys, formal complaints, or other credible sources indicate insufficient textbooks or facilities that pose urgent health and safety risks.
The measure maintains existing inspection requirements, including evaluating textbook availability, facility conditions, and accuracy of school accountability report cards. County superintendents retain their authority to conduct follow-up visits, document non-compliance, and mandate repairs. The state continues its three-year cycle of identifying schools requiring enhanced oversight based on academic performance metrics and teacher qualification standards.
As a state-mandated local program, the new inspection requirements qualify county offices of education for reimbursement of associated costs, subject to review by the Commission on State Mandates. The provisions apply only during fiscal years when the 2024-25 school list remains active.
