Summary

Existing law prohibits a school district from permitting access to pupil records to a person without written parental consent or under judicial order except as authorized by specified state and federal law. Existing law requires the Office of Emergency Services to establish and lead the California Cybersecurity Integration Center with a primary mission to reduce the likelihood and severity of cyber incidents that could damage California's economy, its critical infrastructure, or public and private sector computer networks in our state. This bill would require a local educational agency, as defined, to report any cyberattack, as defined, to the California Cybersecurity Integration Center and to designate a cybersecurity coordinator to serve as a liaison in cybersecurity matters between the local educational agency and the California Cybersecurity Integration Center. The bill would require the cybersecurity coordinator to notify the parent or legal guardian of a pupil that a cyberattack has occurred if records pertaining to the pupil may have been accessed. The bill would require the California Cybersecurity Integration Center to establish a database that tracks reports of cyberattacks submitted by local educational agencies and require the California Cybersecurity Integration Center to annually report to the Legislature on the state of cybersecurity in the state's local educational agencies, with recommendations for any improvements. By imposing new duties on local educational agencies, the bill would constitute a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
