Key Takeaways

  • Requires California schools to post teen dating violence prevention resources on their websites by January 2027.
  • Mandates the State Superintendent to develop statewide guidance on teen dating violence prevention by July 2026.
  • Applies to all public schools, charter schools, and county offices serving grades 7-12.

Summary

Assembly Member Macedo's teen dating violence prevention measure would require California's Superintendent of Public Instruction to develop and publish guidance materials and resources specifically focused on preventing teen dating violence in schools. The proposal builds upon the state's existing Safe Place to Learn Act by creating new requirements for both state and local education officials.

Under the measure, the Superintendent would need to create comprehensive guidance and compile a list of statewide teen dating violence prevention resources by July 2026, making these materials available on the Department of Education's website. County offices of education, school districts, and charter schools serving grades 7-12 would then have until January 2027 to post these resources on their own websites. The bill's provisions complement current requirements for the Superintendent to maintain and share resources supporting youth affected by school-based discrimination, harassment, and bullying.

The measure establishes this as a state-mandated local program, with provisions for reimbursing local educational agencies for any costs incurred in implementing the new requirements. The Commission on State Mandates would determine whether such reimbursement is warranted under existing state procedures.
