What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, the limit on the total number of pupils residing in a school district who may participate in the statewide parental choice program (pupil participation limit) in the 2015-16 and 2016-17 school years is 1 percent of the school district's membership in the previous school year. Beginning with the 2017-18 school year, the pupil participation limit increases one percentage point each school year until the limit reaches 10 percent in the 2025-26 school year, after which there is no pupil participation limit in the statewide parental choice program.
This bill creates an exception to the pupil participation limit. The exception allows a pupil who attended a private school under the statewide parental choice program in the previous year to attend a private school under the statewide parental choice program if the pupil's application to attend a private school under the statewide parental choice program is not accepted because the pupil's resident school district has exceeded its pupil participation limit.
