Existing law mandates that by March 1, 2025, the State Department of Education must report to the Superintendent, Governor, and Legislature on the reports school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools are required to submit annually. This report should include each report’s purpose and suggestions for consolidation, elimination, or reduction. This requirement was initially set to expire on January 1, 2026, but SB 374 extends this deadline by one year to January 1, 2027.
Additionally, existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt an Individuals with Disability Education Act (IDEA) Addendum by January 31, 2027, aimed at enhancing services for individuals with exceptional needs. Certain educational institutions were required to complete this addendum and related activities by July 1, 2027. SB 374 eliminates the IDEA Addendum requirements.
(SB 374 amends Section 33318.2 of, and repeals Section 52064.3 of, the Education Code.)
