Existing law establishes the State Board of Education and requires the state board to adopt rules and regulations, not inconsistent with the laws of the state, to govern the public elementary and secondary schools of the state. Existing law provides that the state board consists of 10 members, who are appointed by the Governor to 4-year terms with the advice and consent of 23 of the Senate. Existing law also provides for the appointment by the Governor, with the advice and consent of 23 of the Senate, of a student member to a single one-year term commencing on August 1. Existing law requires the state board to determine all questions of policy within its powers. This bill would create the Student Board Member Advisory Commission in the state government consisting of 13 commissioners, including the student member of the state board, who is required to chair the commission, and 12 other voting student members who meet certain requirements, including representing prescribed regions of the state, and are appointed by the state board. The bill would require commissioners to serve one-year terms, and prescribe provisions pertaining to reappointment, vacancies, and reimbursement of expenses. The bill would require the commission to study and provide assistance and advice to the student member of the state board, the state board, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Legislature, and the Governor in education policy as it relates to the experience of the state's pupils, and would require the commission to undertake certain other actions and activities. The bill would repeal these provisions on January 1, 2028.
