Summary
Existing law requires the Commission on Teacher Credentialing to establish standards for the issuance and renewal of credentials. Existing law requires, as a minimum requirement for a preliminary multiple subject, single subject, or education specialist teaching credential, the satisfactory completion of a program of professional preparation, as specified. Existing law also authorizes the commission to issue a PK–3 early childhood education specialist instruction credential, as provided. Existing law requires a candidate for a credential to obtain a certificate of clearance from the commission before admission to student teaching under any professional preparation program approved by the commission, or participation in a field experience program, as provided. This bill would revise and recast that latter provision by requiring a candidate, before admission to any professional preparation program approved by the commission for one of the above-described credentials to provide verification that the candidate either (1) holds a valid permit or credential previously issued by the commission or (2) has applied for a certificate of clearance from the commission. For a candidate who provides verification that the candidate has applied for a certificate of clearance, the bill would require the candidate to obtain the certificate of clearance before beginning student teaching, clinic practice, or participation in a field experience program, as provided. This bill would require a professional preparation program approved by the commission for one of the above-described credentials to (1) submit specified candidate profile information to the commission for each enrolled credential candidate within 30 days of the candidate beginning the program, (2) update each candidate's profile information annually, and (3) indicate to the commission a candidate's program completion within 30 days of the candidate completing all credential requirements. Existing law provides that each person between 6 and 18 years of age not exempted is subject to compulsory full-time education and requires a person subject to compulsory education to attend the public full-time day school or continuation school or classes in the school district in which the residence of the parents or legal guardian is located. Existing law requires a school district to accept enumerated documentation, including property tax payment records, as reasonable evidence of a pupil's residence. Existing law states that a pupil complies with the residency requirements if the pupil's parent is transferred or is pending transfer to a military installation within the state while on active military duty pursuant to an official military order. Existing law authorizes a parent to use one of several enumerated addresses, including that of a temporary on-base billeting facility, for purposes of school application, enrollment, and registration. This bill would expand the list of addresses authorized for the purposes identified above to include, among others, an off-base hotel. To the extent the bill imposes additional duties on school districts, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
