Williams Monitoring Information
-
The Williams, et al., vs. State of California, et al. (Williams) case was filed as a class action in 2000. The basis of the lawsuit was that the agencies failed to provide public school students with equal access to instructional materials, safe and decent school facilities, and qualified teachers.
The case was settled in 2004, resulting in laws that ensure that all students have equal access to the basics of a quality education, including textbooks and instructional materials, safe and decent school facilities, qualified teachers, accurate reporting on the School Accountability Report Card, and a Uniform Complaint for alleged violations.
All schools in California must comply with requirements and accountability measures contained in the Williams legislation. The Williams legislation requires the county superintendent of schools to monitor schools eligible for monitoring under the Williams settlement legislation. As outlined in AB 599, schools that meet the criteria listed below are eligible for monitoring under the Williams settlement legislation:
- Schools eligible for Comprehensive Support and Improvement (CSI) under the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA); or
- Schools eligible for Additional Targeted Support and Improvement (ATSI) under ESSA; or
- Schools with fifteen percent or more of the school’s teachers that do not possess a valid and clear or preliminary teaching credential.
