Summary

The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction, subject to the appropriation of funds in the annual Budget Act or the availability of funds from private sources, to make grants available to qualified recipients to fund California community schools and to enhance programs at California community schools. The bill would establish qualification requirements for grant applicants, and would require grant recipients to comply with specified requirements, including, among others, conducting annual evaluations.
