Summary
AB 1113, as amended, McCarty. The Expanded Learning Opportunities Program: the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System: the After School Education and Safety Program: the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program. (1) Existing law establishes the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program to provide funds to school districts and certain charter schools to offer, outside of any instructional time, expanded learning opportunities, as defined, to pupils enrolled in classroom-based instructional programs in kindergarten and grades 1 to 6, inclusive, under specified funding methodologies and program conditions.Existing law establishes the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, which is maintained by the State Department of Education and consists of pupil data from elementary and secondary schools, as specified, relating to demographics, program participation, enrollment, and statewide assessments, among other things. Existing law requires the system to be used to accomplish specified goals, including to provide an efficient, flexible, and secure means of maintaining statewide pupil level data, as provided.This bill would require the department, by July 1, 2024, to collect, as part of the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, pupil data for each pupil enrolled in a program under the Expanded Learning Opportunities Program, the After School Education and Safety Program (ASES), or the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program, as specified. The bill would require the department, on or before January 1, 2025, to identify and reduce data reporting redundancies in the collection of pupil data pursuant to these provisions and existing local educational data reporting requirements for those programs. The bill would express the intent of the Legislature to provide equitable opportunities to pupils in grades 7 to 12, inclusive, with a welcoming and enriching space through afterschool programs.(2) The After School Education and Safety Program Act of 2002, an initiative statute approved by the voters as Proposition 49 at the November 5, 2002, statewide general election, establishes the After School Education and Safety Program (ASES) under which participating public schools receive grants to operate before and after school programs serving pupils in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 9, inclusive. The act requires an amount not to exceed $550,000,000 to be continuously appropriated to the State Department of Education from the General Fund in each fiscal year for purposes of the program, and requires the amount to be allocated to public elementary, middle, and junior high schools according to a specified priority scheme, as provided. The act authorizes the Legislature to amend the provisions containing that priority scheme only by a statute, enacted by a 2/3 vote of each house and signed by the Governor, that furthers the purposes of the act. Commencing with the 2024–25 fiscal year, this bill would require, notwithstanding any other law, at least a certain percentage of the total amount appropriated pursuant to the act or by the Legislature in the annual Budget Act or another statute or for purposes of the ASES to be allocated on a priority basis for programs serving middle school pupils, as provided. The bill would set forth a legislative finding and declaration that the bill furthers the purposes of the act.(3) Existing federal law establishes the 21st Century Community Learning Centers Program to provide pupils with academic enrichment and other activities during nonschool hours or periods when school is not in session, as provided. Under the program, of the total amount appropriated for after school grants to community learning centers, at least 50% is required to be allocated on a priority basis to community learning centers serving high school pupils and at least 40% is required to be allocated on a priority basis to community learning centers serving elementary and middle school pu
