Report, Report, Report! How Many Are Too Many?

Bureaucracies all start out with good intentions, but sometimes those good intentions have unintended consequences, like diverting time and resources from the primary purpose of educating students.  California Senate Bill 1315 is designed to streamline the reporting requirements for educators, with the hope of redirecting some of their reporting time and effort back to the classroom.

The California School Boards Association (CSBA) and the California Association of School Business Officials (CASBO) are co-sponsoring Senate Bill 1315 (Archuleta, D-Pico Rivera) to require that the California Department of Education document and report to the Legislature the number of state and federally mandated reports districts and COEs must submit. The goal is to identify where information could be consolidated, and which reports could be eliminated — helping schools to free up more time and resources to provide for the needs of California’s students.
