Bill	School accountability: academic performance: dropout recovery high schools.	Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, with approval of the State Board of Education, to develop an Academic Performance Index (API) , as part of the Public School Performance Accountability Program, to measure the performance of schools, especially the academic performance of pupils. Existing law requires the Superintendent, with approval of the state board, to develop an alternative accountability system for specified types of schools and allows these schools to receive an API score, but prohibits them from being included in the API rankings of schools. Existing law requires the Superintendent and the state board, as part of the alternative accountability system for schools, or any successor system, to allow no more than 10 dropout recovery high schools to report the results of an individual pupil growth model, as specified, instead of reporting other indicators, and requires the Superintendent to review the individual pupil growth model proposed by a dropout recovery high school and certify that model if it meets specified criteria. Existing law defines a dropout recovery high school as a school offering instruction in any of grades 9 to 12, inclusive, in which 50% or more of its pupils are designated as dropouts, as specified, and the school provides specified instruction.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20112012	AB 1668	California AB 1668 (20112012)	bill	School accountability: academic performance: dropout recovery high schools.	enacted	Carter	8	25	5	2012-02-14	2012-09-21	openstates	ocd-bill/0666539d-ff53-47e7-b3eb-9afb3f1dc375	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201120120AB1668	a4ff44a71f4cf928a6c039dc0d2b969121bedcec02bc6a7600051e0b2d78be2f	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
