SB 413: School attendance: interdistrict attendance.

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. Under existing law, a parent may appeal a school districts decision regarding a request for interdistrict transfer, within 30 calendar days of the school districts final denial, to the county board of education. 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 district of proposed enrollment and the applicable period of attendance.

This bill would authorize a county board of education in a class 1 or class 2 county to, in certain circumstances, extend the time period to determine whether the pupil should be permitted to attend the school district of proposed enrollment and the applicable period of attendance to up to 60 calendar days after the appeal is filed, as provided.
