Summary

Existing law establishes the State Board of Education and requires the state board to study educational conditions and needs of the state and to make plans for the improvement of the administration and efficiency of the public schools of the state. Existing law establishes the State Department of Education under the administration of the Superintendent of Public Instruction and assigns to the department numerous responsibilities relating to the governance of the public elementary and secondary schools in the state. This bill would require a working group, proposed to be established by Assembly Bill 2225 of the 2025–26 Regular Session, to include as part of a report to the Governor and the Legislature, proposed to be required by Assembly Bill 2225 of the 2025–26 Regular Session, recommendations for the development of a State of the Achievement Gap Dashboard that would be annually updated to assess the state in its progress towards closing pupil academic achievement gaps. The bill would require the recommendations to include, among other things, a series of specified proposed metrics, as provided. This bill would become operative only if AB 2225 of the 2025–26 Regular Session is enacted and takes effect on or before January 1, 2027, and adds Section 52090 to the Education Code.
