52064.5.

(a) On or before October 1, 2016, the state board shall adopt evaluation rubrics for all of the following purposes:

(1) To assist a school district, county office of education, or charter school in evaluating its strengths, weaknesses, and areas that require improvement.

(2) To assist a county superintendent of schools, the department, or a chartering authority in identifying school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools in need of technical assistance pursuant to Section 52071, 52071.5, or 47607.3, as applicable, and the specific priorities upon which the technical assistance should be focused.

(3) To assist the Superintendent in identifying school districts and county offices of education for which intervention pursuant to Section 52072 or 52072.5, as applicable, is warranted.

(b) The evaluation rubrics shall reflect a holistic, multidimensional assessment of school district and individual schoolsite performance and shall include all of the state priorities described in subdivision (d) of Section 52060.

(c) As part of the evaluation rubrics, the state board shall adopt state and local indicators to measure school district and individual schoolsite performance in regard to each of the state priorities described in subdivision (d) of Section 52060. No later than January 31, 2021, local indicators shall reflect school-level data to the extent the department collects or otherwise has access to relevant and reliable school-level data for all schools statewide.

(d) The state board may adopt alternate methods for calculating the state and local indicators described in subdivision (c) for alternative schools, as described in subdivision (d) of Section 52052, if appropriate to more fairly evaluate the performance of these schools or of a specific category of these schools. Alternate methods may include an individual pupil growth model.

(e) (1) As part of the evaluation rubrics, the state board shall adopt standards for school district and individual schoolsite performance and expectations for improvement in regard to each of the state priorities described in subdivision (d) of Section 52060. The standards shall be based on the state and local indicators specified in subdivision (c).

(2) (A) No later than January 31, 2020, the standards for local indicators shall, at a minimum, ensure that the governing board of a school district, the county board of education, and the governing body of a charter school review any data to be publicly reported for the local indicators in conjunction with the adoption of a local control and accountability plan pursuant to Section 52062, 52068, or 47606.5, as applicable. No later than January 31, 2021, the standards for local indicators for which the department collects or otherwise has access to relevant and reliable school-level data for all schools statewide shall, to the extent practicable, be based on objective criteria, which may include, but are not necessarily limited to, the extent of any disparities across schoolsites within a school district or county office of education or performance relative to statewide data.

(B) If the governing board of a school district, the county board of education, or the governing body of a charter school is unable to review any data required pursuant to subparagraph (A) due to any of the events described in subdivision (a) of Section 46392, the local indicator data shall be reviewed at the next meeting of the governing board or body and a resolution shall be adopted and submitted to the department with the following information:

(i) A description of the emergency event.

(ii) The date on which the local indicator data was reviewed.

(f) (1) The department, in collaboration with, and subject to the approval of, the executive director of the state board, shall develop and maintain the California School Dashboard, a web-based system for publicly reporting performance data on the state and local indicators included in the evaluation rubrics.

(2) The public reporting of performance data on state and local indicators via the web-based system shall be completed on or before the following dates for the prior school year:

(A) December 15, 2023.

(B) December 1, 2024.

(C) November 15, 2025.

(D) October 15, 2026, and October 15 of each year thereafter.

(3) Timelines associated with the collection of data through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System pursuant to Section 60900 shall be adjusted to support the public reporting dates in paragraph (2) .

(g) (1) As part of the evaluation rubrics, the state board shall adopt performance criteria for local educational agency assistance and intervention pursuant to Sections 47607.3, 52071, 52071.5, 52072, and 52072.5. The criteria shall be based on performance by pupil subgroups either across two or more of the state and local indicators specified in subdivision (c) or across two or more of the state priorities described in subdivision (d) of Section 52060 and subdivision (d) of Section 52066. The criteria may also be based on performance by an all pupils subgroup, comprised of at least 30 pupils at a local educational agency, in addition to the criteria based on performance by pupil subgroups.

(2) (A) No later than July 15, 2026, the state board shall update the performance criteria, taking into consideration the findings and recommendations from the state-funded evaluation of the state’s differentiated assistance system and its implementation, pursuant to Section 127 of Chapter 44 of the Statutes of 2021, as amended by Section 37 of Chapter 252 of the Statutes of 2021, and the need to appropriately focus resources and supports where the demonstrated needs are greatest.

(B) No later than May 15, 2029, the state board shall do all of the following:

(i) Provide recommendations to the Legislature regarding possible statutory changes to ensure the performance criteria for alternative schools, as described in subdivision (d), is based on methods of measuring performance that fairly evaluate the performance of local educational agencies serving alternative school pupil populations.

(ii) Provide recommendations to the Legislature regarding possible statutory changes to ensure the performance criteria for assistance and intervention pursuant to Sections 52072 and 52072.5 are based on factors that demonstrate the local educational agency is in need of intensive, extended support, and is not duplicative of performance criteria pursuant to Sections 47607.3, 52071, and 52071.5.

(iii) Update the performance criteria for local educational assistance and intervention pursuant to Sections 52072 and 52072.5, taking into consideration the impact of any updates to the performance criteria pursuant to Sections 47607.3, 52071, and 52071.5, and any relevant research conducted on differentiated assistance, direct technical assistance, and the statewide system of support.

(3) Beginning with the release of the 2026 California School Dashboard pursuant to subdivision (f), and every three years thereafter, the department shall determine local educational agency eligibility for assistance and intervention pursuant to Sections 47607.3, 52071, and 52071.5, according to the performance criteria adopted by the state board pursuant to paragraph (2) .

(h) The department shall annually publish information on the following:

(1) All school districts and county offices of education identified for technical assistance pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 52071.1 and subdivision (a) of section 52071.51.
