51228.2
. (a) Commencing with the 2016-17 school year, except as
provided in subdivision (d), a school district maintaining any of
grades 9 to 12, inclusive, shall not assign a pupil enrolled in any
of grades 9 to 12, inclusive, in a school in the school district to a
course that the pupil has previously completed and received a grade
determined by the school district to be sufficient to satisfy the
requirements and prerequisites for admission to the California public
institutions of postsecondary education and the minimum requirements
for receiving a diploma of graduation from high school established
in this article, unless either of the following applies:
(1) The course has been designed to be taken more than once because pupils are exposed to a new curriculum year to year and are therefore expected to derive educational value from taking the course again.
(2) For any course that has not been designed to be taken more than once, all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(A) A pupil is assigned to the course only if the pupil or, for a pupil who has not reached the age of majority, the pupil's parent, guardian, or educational rights holder has consented in writing to the assignment for the purpose of improving a lower grade.
(B) A school official has determined that the pupil will benefit from being assigned to the course period.
(C) The principal or assistant principal of the school has stated in a written document to be maintained at the school that, for the relevant school year, no pupils are assigned to those classes unless the school has met the conditions specified in subparagraphs (A) and (B).
