Overview

California Education Code Section 280(b) , which became effective January 1, 2026, per Assembly Bill 715 (2025), states:

The Superintendent, in consultation with the executive director of the state board and the Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator established pursuant to Section 33803.1, shall develop and maintain a distinct internet web page containing resources and information specific to antisemitism on its internet website.

The resources and information below align with that requirement, and they will be updated as appropriate in consultation with the Antisemitism Prevention Coordinator once that person is appointed.
