School districts: four-day school week: Moorpark Unified School District.

Existing law authorizes certain school districts to operate one or more schools on a 4-day school week if the school district complies with specified instructional time requirements and other requirements related to the 4-day school week. This bill would, beginning in the 2013–14 fiscal year, authorize the Moorpark Unified School District to operate one or more high schools offering a middle college program on a 4-day school week if it complies with the specified instructional time requirements and other requirements related to the 4-day school week. The bill would require the authority of a school in the Moorpark Unified School District to operate on a 4-day school week to be permanently revoked if the school fails to achieve its Academic Performance Index growth target. The bill would authorize the Moorpark Unified School District operating a school on a 4-day school week, as described above, to claim a day of attendance pursuant to a provision related to attendance in early college high schools and middle college high schools, and specified provisions related to the operation of middle college high schools. The bill would update funding calculations to reflect changes to be made by the implementation of the local control funding formula. The bill would make these provisions inoperative on June 30, 2018, and would repeal these provisions as of January 1, 2019. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Moorpark Unified School District. This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
