Summary

(1) Existing federal law requires schools and educational agencies receiving federal financial assistance to comply with specified provisions regarding the release of pupil data. State law prescribes additional rules relating to the authorized release of pupil data. Under existing law, the State Department of Education is required to contract for the development of proposals to provide for the retention and analysis of longitudinal pupil achievement data on the tests administered pursuant to the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR) , the English language development tests, and the high school exit exam. This longitudinal achievement data, known as the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, is required to be used to accomplish specified goals, including providing school districts and the department access to the data necessary to comply with federal reporting requirements, as specified, providing a better means of evaluating educational progress and investments over time, providing local educational agencies with information that can be used to improve pupil achievement, and providing an efficient, flexible, and secure means of maintaining longitudinal statewide pupil data. This bill would require the State Chief Information Officer to manage the data of local educational agencies through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. The bill would authorize local educational agencies to share data with each other through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. The bill would require the State Chief Information Officer to establish a pupil data team composed of specified persons to provide input and make recommendations to the State Chief Information Officer regarding policy and procedures, including, but not limited to, the functionality of the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System data and response to requests for data. The pupil data team would be required to comply with specified requirements. (2) Under the Information Practices Act of 1977, state agencies are prohibited from disclosing any personal information in a manner that would link the information disclosed to the individual to whom it pertains unless specified conditions are met. Existing law authorizes state agencies to release personally identifiable data to the University of California or a nonprofit educational institution conducting scientific research, provided the request for information is approved by the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects (CPHS) for the California Health and Human Services Agency. Existing law authorizes the CPHS to enter into written agreements to enable other institutional review boards to provide the required data security approvals, as specified. This bill would require the State Chief Information Officer to establish an institutional review board to review and respond to all requests for individually identifiable data, if authorized to do so by the CPHS. The bill would require the institutional review board to comply with specified requirements to protect individually identifiable data. The bill would require the State Chief Information Officer to adopt regulations to establish detailed criteria and procedures for the institutional review board to review and respond to data requests. The bill would require the entity charged with governing the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System to make available to the public an online query tool for the purpose of facilitating online searches for aggregate data.
