Background
California Education Code Section 18122 directs local governing boards to report to the California Department of Education (CDE) on the condition of school libraries. CDE created this online data collection evaluation tool to meet the Education Code requirement and to develop an accurate picture of the condition of school libraries across the state.
The annual online evaluation is closed. It will be open to collect information from the individual schools about their libraries in the 2026–27 academic year starting in 2027. Prior year evaluation responses are available as well.
For district or county downloads, or to schedule a training, contact Renée Ousley-Swank at 916-319-0449 or ROusleySwank@cde.ca.gov for assistance.
