CaliforniaSchools would tell grades 7–12 families about college planning tools
Families of students in grades 7 through 12 would get information about college planning tools and encouragement to create parent accounts in the school year notice.
What it does
The annual notice to families would explain the California College Guidance Initiative’s benefits and encourage parents to create accounts, alongside information about certain courses.
If the state mandate commission finds that the act creates costs for local agencies or school districts, the state would reimburse those costs under existing procedures.
Argument forFamilies may learn about college and career planning tools and create parent accounts, which could help them support students’ plans.
Argument againstLocal schools may have more notice work, which could take staff time away from other tasks, even though the notice goes to families.
More detail
Local educational agencies would add information about the California College Guidance Initiative to their annual notice for families. This applies to school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools notifying parents or guardians of students entering or advancing through grades 7 to 12. The notice is due at the beginning of the first semester or quarter of the regular school term.
The state would reimburse local agencies and school districts for mandated costs if the Commission on State Mandates finds that the act creates them. This applies to local agencies and school districts with costs covered by that determination. Reimbursement depends on a Commission determination that the act contains costs mandated by the state.
