AB 2498

Bill Subjects

Abstract

If a school district or charter school elects to offer any interscholastic athletic program, existing law requires the school district or charter school to ensure that there is a written emergency action plan in place, and posted as specified. Existing law describes the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) as a voluntary organization that consists of school and school-related personnel with responsibility for administering interscholastic athletic activities in secondary schools, and sets forth the Legislature's intent regarding the California Interscholastic Federation's implementation of certain policies. This bill would add to the Legislature's intent policies that CIF shall cooperate with the State Department of Education to develop and maintain recommendations relating to air quality and its impact on athletic activity for schools, post on its internet website air quality activity recommendations for schools and air quality education materials, and require schools, as a condition of CIF membership, to ensure that their existing written emergency action plans educate administrators, staff, and coaches on air quality activity recommendations and education materials made available on CIF's internet website.
