What it would have done
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, in the 2013-14 school year, each school board and the governing body of each independent charter school must assess each pupil enrolled in four-year-old kindergarten to first grade for reading readiness. Beginning in the 2014-15 school year, each school board and charter school governing board must annually assess each pupil enrolled in four-year-old kindergarten to second grade for reading readiness.
This bill extends these requirements to private schools participating in a parental choice program. The requirements apply only to those pupils attending the private school under the program. The bill also authorizes the state superintendent of public instruction to issue an order barring a private school from participating in a parental choice program if it violates the requirement described above.
