Chino Valley Unified School District: minimum schoolday.

(1) Existing law prescribes the minimum length of time for the instructional school year and the minimum number of instructional minutes per schoolday. Existing law imposes fiscal penalties on school districts and county offices of education that fail to maintain those minimum instructional times per school year or schoolday. This bill would deem the Chino Valley Unified School District to have offered the minimum number of days of instruction in the 2008–09 school year if the district operates grades 4 to 6, inclusive, in the Dickson Elementary School and the Rolling Ridge Elementary School for 10 additional schooldays between June 15, 2009, and July 1, 2011, as specified. (2) The California Constitution provides that a special statute is invalid in any case if a general statute can be made applicable. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Chino Valley Unified School District. (3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
