Section 46600 Of Chapter 5. Interdistrict Attendance Computation From California Education Code >> Division 4. >> Title 2. >> Part 26. >> Chapter 5.
46600
. (a) (1) The governing boards of two or more school districts
may enter into an agreement, for a term not to exceed five school
years, for the interdistrict attendance of pupils who are residents
of the districts. The agreement may provide for the admission to a
district other than the district of residence of a pupil who requests
a permit to attend a school district that is a party to the
agreement and that maintains schools and classes in kindergarten or
any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive, to which the pupil requests
admission. Once a pupil in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12,
inclusive, is enrolled in a school pursuant to this chapter, the
pupil shall not have to reapply for an interdistrict transfer, and
the governing board of the school district of enrollment shall allow
the pupil to continue to attend the school in which he or she is
enrolled, except as specified in paragraphs (2) and (4).
(2) The agreement shall stipulate the terms and conditions under
which interdistrict attendance shall be permitted or denied. The
agreement may contain standards for reapplication agreed to by the
district of residence and the district of attendance that differ from
the requirements prescribed by paragraph (1). The agreement may
stipulate terms and conditions established by the district of
residence and the district of enrollment under which the permit may
be revoked.
(3) The supervisor of attendance of the district of residence
shall issue an individual permit verifying the district's approval,
pursuant to policies of the governing board and terms of the
agreement for the transfer. A permit shall be valid upon concurring
endorsement by the designee of the governing board of the district of
proposed attendance. The stipulation of the terms and conditions
under which the permit may be revoked is the responsibility of the
district of attendance.
(4) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), a school district of residence
or school district of enrollment shall not rescind existing transfer
permits for pupils entering grade 11 or 12 in the subsequent school
year.
(b) A pupil who has been determined by personnel of either the
district of residence or the district of proposed enrollment to have
been the victim of an act of bullying, as defined in subdivision (r)
of Section 48900, committed by a pupil of the district of residence
shall, at the request of the person having legal custody of the
pupil, be given priority for interdistrict attendance under any
existing interdistrict attendance agreement or, in the absence of an
agreement, be given additional consideration for the creation of an
interdistrict attendance agreement.
(c) In addition to the requirements of subdivision (e) of Section
48915.1, and regardless of whether an agreement exists or a permit is
issued pursuant to this section, any district may admit a pupil
expelled from another district in which the pupil continues to
reside.
