§ 10805 Educator And Student Data Sharing

This law says California's teacher and school data (like how many teachers there are, what credentials they have, and how students are doing) must be given to the State Chief Information Officer, who can then share it publicly while keeping privacy rules in mind.

Key Takeaways

•Teacher and student performance data must be shared with the State Chief Information Officer.
•The data must be non‑personal or aggregated and given at no cost.
•The CIO can publish the data publicly (paper or online) but must follow privacy laws.

Example

A school district sends the state a spreadsheet that shows the number of teachers with math certifications and the average math test scores for each school, without any student names.

The State Chief Information Officer can put that spreadsheet on a public website so anyone can see how teachers and students are doing across the state, as long as no personal info is included and privacy laws are followed.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, the Commission on Teacher Credentialing, the state board, and the department shall provide to the State Chief Information Officer the individual nonpersonally identifiable or aggregate data related to teacher distribution, educator credential status, pupil assessment and accountability, or other pupil academic and achievement data, including, but not limited to, data generated from, or related to, the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, the English language development test, the Academic Performance Index (API), and adequate yearly progress data and calculations, graduation rates, pupils who dropout of school, and demographics of pupils and teachers. (b) The data provided pursuant to the section shall be provided as follows: (1) In a format that is agreeable to all relevant parties. (2) In a timely manner, according to a schedule agreed upon by all relevant parties. (3) At no cost to the State Chief Information Officer. (c) The State Chief Information Officer may release the information provided pursuant to subdivision (a) in any of the following manners: (1) On paper at a single location that is accessible to the public. (2) Electronically at a single location that is accessible to the public. (3) Electronically via the Internet. (d) The State Chief Information Officer shall ensure that the use of this data is in compliance with applicable state and federal privacy laws. (Amended by Stats. 2017, Ch. 641, Sec. 4. (AB 830) Effective January 1, 2018.)
