Summary

The Public Schools Accountability Act of 1999 requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, with the approval of the State Board of Education, to develop an Academic Performance Index that measures the performance of schools and the academic performance of pupils. Existing law requires the Superintendent, on or before October 1, 2013, to report to the Legislature and recommend to the state board for adoption a method for increasing emphasis on pupil mastery of standards in science and social science through the system of public school accountability or by other means. This bill would require the Superintendent, on or before July 1, 2015, to report to the Legislature and recommend to the state board for adoption a project-based assessment, as specified, through the system of public school accountability, or by other means, to measure the civics learning objectives contained in the history-social science framework for grades 1 to 12, inclusive. The bill would require the civics learning objectives to include specified elements.
