Existing law requires school districts maintaining any of grades 5, 7, and 9 to annually administer to each pupil in those grades a physical performance test designated by the State Board of Education. SB 820 waives the physical performance test requirement for the 2020-2021 school year. SB 820 also requires the State Superintendent of Public Instruction to submit a report with recommendations on the purpose and administration of the test to the appropriate fiscal and policy committees of the Legislature, the Department of Finance, and the State Board of Education.
Because it is a bill providing for the appropriations related to the budget bill, SB 820 became effective immediately when the Governor signed it on September 18, 2020.
(SB 820 amends Sections 313.3, 8209, 14041.8, 17199.4, 17391, 17463.7, 37700, 41024, 41207.47, 43501, 43502, 43503, 43504, 43505, 43509, 48412, 51461, 52065, 52074, 56836.07, 56836.148, 56836.24, 60010, 69996.3, 71000, and 92495 of, adds Sections 1241, 17199.15, 43502.5, 43506.5, and 92411 to, adds and repeals Section 92496.1 of, the Education Code, amends Sections 14900, 14901, 14902, 14903, 14904, 14905, 14906, 14910, and 14911 of, to adds Section 8880.4.1 to, and repeals Section 14905.1 of, the Government Code, amends Sections 8025, 102426, and 102430 of, and adds Section 8024 to, the Health and Safety Code, repeals Section 48 of Chapter 29 of the Statutes of 2016, to amend Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of Chapter 3 of the Statutes of 2020, and amends Sections 95, 97, 110, 111, 112, 116, 117, 118, and 119 of Chapter 24 of the Statutes of 2020, relating to education finance.)
