Summary

Existing law requires a charter school, if a pupil is expelled or leaves the charter school without graduating or completing the school year for any reason, to notify the superintendent of the school district of the pupil's last known address within 30 days, and to, upon request, provide that school district with a copy of the cumulative record of the pupil, including a transcript of grades or report card, and health information. Existing law provides that these provisions apply only to pupils subject to compulsory full-time education. This bill would instead require a charter school, if a pupil is expelled, is dismissed, or leaves the charter school without graduating or completing the school year for any reason, to notify the superintendent of the school district of the pupil's last known address, and the superintendent of the school district within the jurisdiction the charter school is located, within 30 calendar days, and to, upon request, provide that school district with a copy of the cumulative record of the pupil, including a transcript of grades or report card, disciplinary record, and health information. The bill would delete the provision that made these provisions applicable only to pupils subject to compulsory full-time education. To the extent this bill would require a higher level of service from charter school officials, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would also require the parent, guardian, or pupil, if the pupil is emancipated or otherwise legally of age, if the pupil leaves, is expelled, or is dismissed from a charter school without graduating or completing the school year for any reason, to inform the receiving school district or charter school, upon enrollment, of the pupil's status with the previous charter school. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.
