Bill > AB1493

This bill modifies the procedures for filling vacancies on school district and community college district governing boards and adjusts the criteria for charter school renewal. Regarding board vacancies, if a petition is submitted to trigger a special election to fill a vacancy, the county superintendent of schools will now consolidate that special election with the next regularly scheduled election, provided it occurs at least 88 days after the election order, and the provisional appointee can remain in office until the election results are certified. For charter schools, the bill changes the renewal process for schools with lower performance levels by allowing chartering authorities to consider measurable increases in academic achievement or strong postsecondary outcomes, demonstrated by verified data, until a new statewide student-level growth model for English language arts and mathematics is fully implemented and provides sufficient data for renewal decisions.
