County superintendent of schools: inspection of public schools.
- Requires county superintendents to complete school textbook reviews by the 8th week of the school year.
- Mandates priority inspections within 4 weeks for schools with reported textbook or safety issues.
- Takes effect immediately to ensure proper implementation for the 2025-26 school year.
- Establishes state reimbursement for local agencies to cover mandated inspection costs.
Assemblymember Sharp-Collins' legislation modifies county superintendents' school inspection requirements by extending the timeline for reviewing textbooks and instructional materials while prioritizing urgent facility and resource concerns. The measure adjusts Section 1240 of the Education Code to allow superintendents until the eighth week of the school year to complete textbook reviews for schools identified on the state's 2024-25 priority list.
The bill directs county superintendents to prioritize inspecting schools within the first four weeks when they receive information through surveys, formal complaints, or other reliable sources indicating insufficient textbooks or facilities that pose health and safety threats. This targeted approach aims to address the most pressing deficiencies while providing more time for comprehensive materials reviews.
As a state-mandated local program, the legislation includes provisions for reimbursing county offices and school districts for associated costs, subject to determination by the Commission on State Mandates. The measure takes effect immediately upon passage to ensure implementation by the 2025-26 school year, when superintendents must begin conducting inspections under the revised timeline.
