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.
- Takes effect immediately to ensure proper implementation for the 2025-26 school year.
- Mandates state reimbursement to county offices for costs associated with new inspection requirements.
Assembly Member Sharp-Collins' legislation modifies the timeline for county superintendents' annual reviews of textbooks and instructional materials in California public schools. Under the measure, superintendents must complete these reviews by the eighth week of the school year for schools identified on the state's 2024-25 priority inspection list, extending the current four-week deadline.
The bill directs county superintendents to prioritize inspecting schools within the first four weeks when credible information indicates insufficient textbooks or facility conditions that pose health and safety risks. This information may come through surveys, formal complaints under the Uniform Complaint Procedures, or other reliable sources.
For schools requiring immediate attention, superintendents must verify the adequacy of textbooks and instructional materials as defined in state law, and assess whether facilities present urgent safety threats or fail to meet good repair standards. The measure maintains existing requirements for superintendents to document deficiencies, notify districts, and ensure timely remediation of identified issues.
The legislation includes provisions for state reimbursement of costs incurred by county offices of education in implementing these new inspection requirements. As an urgency statute, the bill would take effect immediately upon enactment to enable implementation for the 2025-26 school year.
