Migrant education: extended school year program: average daily attendance.

Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt a state master plan for services to migrant children. Under existing law, with the concurrence of a child's parent, a child who has been identified as a "migrant child" may be deemed a migrant child for a period, not in excess of 3 years, during which the child resides in an area where programs are provided for migrant children. Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified, that includes average daily attendance as a component of that calculation. This bill, commencing on January 1, 2024, would authorize up to 2 local educational agencies to provide an extended school year program, as defined, to migratory pupils who, due to family agricultural migratory movement, enroll in kindergarten, including transitional kindergarten, or any of grades 1 to 6, inclusive, on or after March 1 of the school year and depart on or before December 1 of the next school year, and would authorize average daily attendance funding for those pupils if certain requirements are met, as provided. The bill would require a local educational agency operating the program to annually report to the State Department of Education information on the program, as specified.
