Education Code·California

AI SummaryVerified

Key Takeaways

•The State Board of Education can create new groups (divisions) inside the Department of Education if they think it will help them do their job better.
•The Director of Education suggests these new groups, but the Board makes the final decision.
•This is in addition to the Division of Libraries, which already exists.

Example

Imagine the Department of Education is like a big school. They already have a 'Library Club' (Division of Libraries).

If the principal (Director of Education) thinks they need a new club, like a 'Science Club', they can ask the school board (State Board of Education). If the board agrees, they can start the new club to help the school run better.
