School attendance: residency requirements.

Existing law provides that a pupil is deemed to have complied with the residency requirements for school attendance in a school district if the pupil satisfies one of the specified requirements. Until July 1, 2012, existing law authorizes a school district in which at least one parent or the legal guardian of a pupil is employed to allow that pupil to attend a school in that district through grade 12 if the parent or legal guardian of the pupil so chooses and if the parent or legal guardian of the pupil continues to be employed by an employer situated within the attendance boundaries of the district. This bill would extend the operation of the provision authorizing the school district in which a parent or the legal guardian of the pupil is physically employed to allow the pupil to attend a school in that district, through June 30, 2017, and would repeal the provision on January 1, 2018. The bill additionally would modify this provision by requiring that the parent or legal guardian's employment occur within the boundaries of that school district for a minimum of 10 hours during the school week. The bill would also make technical, nonsubstantive changes.
