CA AR87

Urges the California Legislature to adopt a formal analysis process for any new school reporting requirements, evaluating purpose, audience, value, feasibility, duplication, and duration before implementation

Addresses concerns that reporting obligations enacted since 2019 have become duplicative, fragmented, and disconnected from the Local Control and Accountability Plan (LCAP) process

Calls on the Governor, Senate, Department of Finance, State Board of Education, and State Department of Education to apply the same six-question framework when developing new planning or reporting mandates

Aims to reduce administrative burden on local educational agencies so limited resources can be directed toward direct services for pupils and classrooms

References the Assembly Committee on Education's analysis of Senate Bill 1315 (Chapter 468, Statutes of 2024) as the source for the proposed guiding questions
