Overview
This bill updates California’s rules about where students must attend school, specifically regarding residency requirements. It clarifies that a student is considered to meet residency requirements if they are in a licensed institution or foster care, or if they are a foster child remaining in their original school. Starting in the 2030-31 school year, all work permits issued to students must be uploaded to a new online database called the Youth Employment System (YES).
Key provisions
- Defines ‘foster youth’ for residency requirements.
- Requires all active work permits issued to students to be uploaded to the Youth Employment System (YES) database.
- The YES database will be created by the State Department of Education by December 31, 2029.
- Expands the definition of who can be considered a resident for school attendance (including foster youth, caregiving adults, and students employed by their district).
- Allows for transfer of students to districts where a parent or guardian is employed, with certain restrictions.
- Establishes rules regarding pupil transfer and average daily attendance calculations for students admitted under specific residency provisions.
- Limits the number of students that can be transferred out of a district annually based on district size.
