The California Department of Education, the California State University Board of Trustees and the Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges are responsible for overseeing and ensuring that California's educational institutions comply with all state laws regarding facilities, courses of study, handicapped students, staff credentialing, health and safety. The State of California requires that you operate your school according to these applicable laws and if you fail to remain in compliance you are not only risking the educational wellbeing of those who are dependant on your leadership but your funding as well.
