Bill > SB374

This bill makes several changes to California education reporting requirements. First, it extends the deadline for a state department report on annual reporting requirements for local educational agencies (such as school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools) from January 1, 2026, to January 1, 2027. This report aims to review and potentially reduce the number of annual reports these agencies must complete. Second, and most significantly, the bill completely eliminates the previously planned IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act) Addendum requirements, which would have required certain schools to develop and submit a special addendum related to services for students with exceptional needs by July 1, 2027. The bill also makes some nonsubstantive changes to provisions related to public school enrollment and class size reporting. These modifications are intended to reduce administrative burden on local educational agencies by simplifying reporting requirements and eliminating potentially redundant documentation processes.
