School employees: School Social Worker Pilot Program.

Abstract

Existing law establishes the State Department of Education, under the administration of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, and assigns to the department numerous duties relating to the financing, governance, and guidance of the public elementary and secondary schools in this state. Existing law authorizes a school district to employ and compensate psychologists and social workers who meet specified qualifications. This bill, subject to an appropriation of moneys by the Legislature, would establish a pilot program, the School Social Worker Pilot Program, under the administration of the department to provide a multiyear grant award to one school district or the governing body of a charter school in each of the Counties of Alameda, Riverside, San Benito, San Joaquin, and Shasta to fund a social worker at each eligible school, as defined, within the school district or charter school, as applicable, for the 2020–21 fiscal year to the 2024–25 fiscal year, inclusive. The bill would require the department to develop an application process and criteria for determining grant recipients on a competitive basis, as provided. The bill would make the pilot program inoperative on July 1, 2025, and would repeal it on January 1, 2026.
