Bill > AB1713

This bill makes minor, non-substantive changes to existing law regarding the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System (CALPADS), which is a state-run system designed to track student data to help identify and support students at risk of dropping out. Specifically, it clarifies some wording related to the system's ability to collect and report on pupil attendance, including rates of absence and chronic absenteeism, which is defined as a pupil being absent for 10 percent or more of the schooldays in a year. The bill also makes small adjustments to language concerning the use of "early warning systems" that utilize predictive indicators like attendance and grades to help identify students needing support. These changes are contingent on federal funding being available for these purposes.
