What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

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.
