School attendance: interdistrict attendance.

Existing law authorizes the governing boards of 2 or more school districts to enter into an agreement for the interdistrict attendance of pupils who are residents of the school districts. If the governing board of either of 2 school districts subject to such an agreement fails to approve a request for a permit to attend another school district that is also a party to the agreement within 30 calendar days after the person having legal custody of a pupil has requested the permit, or, in the absence of an agreement between the school districts, fails or refuses to enter into an agreement, the person requesting the permit shall be advised of the right to appeal to the county board of education, as specified. Existing law requires the county board of education, within 30 calendar days after the appeal is filed, to determine whether the pupil should be permitted to attend the school district in which the pupil desires to attend and the applicable period of time, unless the county board of education is located in a class 1 or class 2 county, as defined, in which case the county board of education, until July 1, 2015, is required to make this determination within 40 schooldays. This bill would instead, until July 1, 2018, require a county board of education located in a class 1 or class 2 county, as defined, to determine within 40 schooldays whether the pupil should be permitted to attend the school district in which the pupil desires to attend and the applicable period of attendance. The bill would make nonsubstantive changes to these provisions.
