Interdistrict attendance: pupils who are English learners, eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and foster youth.

Existing law authorizes the governing boards of 2 or more school districts to enter into an agreement, for a term not to exceed 5 school years, for the interdistrict attendance of pupils who are residents of the school districts. Existing law, regardless of whether there is an agreement or permit, prohibits a school district of residence from prohibiting the transfer of a pupil who is a child of an active military duty parent to the school district of proposed enrollment if the school district of proposed enrollment approves the application for transfer. This bill would also prohibit a school district of residence from prohibiting the transfer of a pupil who is an English learner, eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, or a foster youth.
