Summary

Existing law establishes the professional development block grant to apportion funds to school districts for the purpose of funding specified staff development, credentialed teacher retention in high-priority schools, as defined, and intersegmental programs, as specified. This bill would authorize an institution of higher education, a nonprofit organization specializing in English learner research or professional development, or a county office of education with demonstrated success in establishing and implementing English learner professional development programs to offer a Leadership for English Learner Success Program for school administrators or counselors, or both, under contract or other cooperative arrangement with a school district. The program would be required to include specified components. Necessary facilities and equipment would be provided by the school district and the necessary instructional materials would be provided by the contractor. The program would be implemented with funds from the school improvement grants component of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The bill would require the State Department of Education to submit to the Legislature, by November 1, 2013, a report that evaluates the program and would require school districts that offer the program to provide the department with the information necessary to complete that report. This bill would make these provisions inoperative on July 1, 2015, and would repeal them as of January 1, 2016.
