“California’s educators are working tirelessly to support students, but the state has never had a unified plan to help close achievement gaps,” Assemblymember Darshana Patel, a San Diego Democrat, said as a four-bill package was unveiled Tuesday.
She is authoring Assembly Bill 2225, which requires creation of a “comprehensive statewide strategy with clear goals, measurable benchmarks and annual performance targets so the state can provide local school districts the support needed for student success.”
The other bills would have the Legislative Analyst’s Office study how the plan aligns with the state budget (AB 2149), devise a dashboard to inform the public about progress (AB 2514) and empower a new commission to oversee the plan (AB 2202).
