This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there is no live prognosis. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

Existing law, operative until July 1, 2011, and to be repealed on January 1, 2014, requires the State Board of Education to adopt statewide academic content standards and performance standards, based on the recommendation of the Commission for the Establishment of Academic Content and Performance Standards and the Superintendent of Public Instruction, respectively. Existing law authorizes the state board to modify any proposed content standard or performance standard prior to its adoption. This bill would establish the Academic Content Standards Commission for Science and History-Social Science consisting of 21 appointed members, as specified. This bill would require the state board, upon recommendation of the Superintendent, to adopt a schedule for the commission to review and recommend revisions to the science and history-social science curriculum area content standards, when funding permits. This bill would require the state board to either adopt or reject the academic content standards as proposed by the commission within 90 days of their receipt and would also require the Superintendent and the state board to present specified information to the Governor and appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the Legislature.
