(1) Existing law requires every entity offering or conducting private school instruction on the elementary or high school level to annually verify information by filing with the Superintendent of Public Instruction an affidavit or statement under penalty of perjury setting forth specified information relating to the current year. The affidavit or statement must be made available to any parent or guardian whose child is currently enrolled or is considering whether to enroll his or her child in the school. If the employees of any entities that have a contract with a private school to provide specified services may have any contact with pupils, those employees are required to submit their fingerprints to the Department of Justice for a background check. The Department of Justice is authorized to notify the private school when the employee has a pending criminal case, or a criminal conviction, of specified crimes. Private schools contracting with an entity for construction or other related services where employees of the entity will have other than limited contact with pupils, are required to ensure the safety of the pupils by utilizing one or more methods. This bill would apply a substantially identical verification requirement to heritage schools, which is a school for children that serves children who are at least 4 years and 9 months of age to 18 years of age and who attend a public or private full-time school, and which offers foreign language education or tutoring and cultural education relating to a foreign country. The heritage school would also be required to maintain membership in a state or national cultural or language association, comply with relevant applicable local regulations, and not operate out of a residential home. (2) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
