Pupils: school attendance: residency requirements.

California · 2025-2026 Regular Session · lower

Description

Under existing law, each person between 6 and 18 years of age, inclusive, who is not otherwise exempt is subject to compulsory full-time education. Existing law requires each person subject to compulsory full-time education to attend the public full-time day school and for the full time designated as the length of the schoolday by the governing board of the school district in which the residency of either the parent or legal guardian is located, except that a pupil is deemed to have complied with those residency requirements if the pupil meets specified criteria, including if the pupil is a foster child who remains in their school of origin, as provided. This bill would expressly define the term "foster youth" for purposes of the latter provision.
