County superintendent of schools: inspection of public schools.
- Extends the deadline for county superintendents to review school textbooks from 4 to 8 weeks of the school year.
- Requires priority inspections within 4 weeks for schools with reported textbook shortages or safety hazards.
- Mandates quarterly reports to school boards on inspection results and facility conditions.
- Takes effect immediately to ensure proper implementation for the 2025-26 school year.
Assembly Member Sharp-Collins's education oversight legislation modifies how county superintendents conduct school inspections, extending the timeline for textbook and instructional materials reviews from four to eight weeks while implementing a new prioritization system for high-risk facilities.
The bill requires county superintendents to prioritize inspecting schools within the first four weeks when credible information indicates insufficient textbooks or facilities posing urgent safety threats. This information may come through surveys, formal complaints under the Uniform Complaint Procedures, or other reliable sources documenting potential deficiencies.
For schools identified on the state's priority inspection list in 2024-25, county superintendents must complete textbook and materials reviews by the eighth week of the school year. The legislation maintains existing requirements for superintendents to ensure deficiencies are remedied by the second month of the school term. If districts fail to address issues, the state may purchase necessary materials directly and recover costs through reduced funding allocations.
The measure includes provisions for state reimbursement of county offices' implementation costs, as determined by the Commission on State Mandates. It takes effect immediately upon enactment to enable preparation for the 2025-26 academic year inspection cycle.
