California Department of Education (CDE) / California State Board of Education (SBE). Mathematics and English language arts are the California Common Core State Standards, adopted August 2010 and modified January 2013 (math) and March 2013 (ELA) — CCSS republished with California's own additions, which the document marks inline with a trailing "CA". Science is the Next Generation Science Standards for California Public Schools (CA NGSS), adopted September 4, 2013 — NGSS with a small number of California edits. History-social science is the History-Social Science Content Standards for California Public Schools, adopted October 1998 and still the adopted content standards (the 2016 document is a curriculum Framework, not standards). Art and music are the California Arts Standards for Public Schools, adopted January 9, 2019. Standard text is stored verbatim.

Standard text here is reproduced from those documents. We do not rewrite, renumber or reword a standard. Where a source is ambiguous or has been revised since we read it, the state’s document is the authority.
