CaliforniaSchool facilities: inclusive school playgrounds.
What it does
If state funds are used for a public building or facility or local funds are used for a school or community college building or facility, including a school playground, existing law prohibits a contract from being awarded until the Department of General Services issues a written approval stating that the plans and specifications comply with the intent of provisions governing access to public buildings by physically handicapped persons, including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. Existing law establishes various state grant and funding programs administered by the State Department of Education that may be used for school facilities and related improvements, including school playgrounds.
More detail
This bill would require the department to curate and maintain an internet resource that demonstrates best practices for inclusive school playgrounds, as provided.
