The Quality Education Investment Act (QEIA) was signed into statute in 2006 under Senate Bill 1133. The purpose of the legislation was to improve student academic success in California's lowest performing schools by creating substantially improved conditions for teaching and learning that feature fully qualified and experienced teachers. Improved teaching and learning conditions include smaller class sizes, improved high school counseling ratio, professional development for teachers, clean, safe schools that are conducive to learning, experienced, well-trained teachers and administrators, instructional materials for each student in each subject and a single integrated school plan.
The bill provides $268 million in 2007-08 and $402 million for the subsequent 6 years to fund this program. The funding will be allocated to 500 eligible schools. The bill also provides $5 million to create two technical assistance centers in county offices of education.
County Superintendents must perform oversight and monitoring functions to ensure these requirements are fulfilled. CCSESA has worked to develop forms and templates for county superintendents to comply with the legislation. For more information, contact the CCSESA office at (916) 446-3095.
