School attendance: interdistrict attendance.
Summary
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. Existing law provides for appeal to the county board of education if the governing board of either school district fails to approve a request within a specified time period or the governing board fails or refuses to enter into an agreement. 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 in which the pupil desires to attend 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, 2018, is required to make this determination within 40 schooldays. This bill, in regard to appeals in a class 1 or class 2 county, would instead require the county board of education in a class 1 county, until July 1, 2023, to make the determination within 60 calendar days and the county board of education in a class 2 county, until July 1, 2019, to make the determination within 45 calendar days.
