What it does
Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.
Under current law, each public school, including a charter school, and private school participating in a parental choice program must annually provide the parent or guardian of each pupil enrolled in the school with a copy of the school's accountability report, commonly referred to as the school report card. Current law also requires the school to provide a list of the educational options available to children residing in the pupil's resident school district at the same time the school provides the school report card to parents and guardians. In addition, under current law, each school board must annually publish as notice and post on the school board's Internet site a description of the educational options available to children in the school district.
This bill specifies that the youth apprenticeship program administered by the Department of Workforce Development must be included in the list of educational options that a school provides to parents and guardians and in the description of educational options published and posted on the Internet by a school board. The bill also creates an exception for a school or school board that does not operate high school grades. Under the exception, a school or school board that does not operate high school grades is not required to include an educational option that is available only to high school pupils in the list or description of educational options. For example, under the bill, an elementary school is not required to include the early college credit program, the part-time open enrollment program, or the youth apprenticeship program in the list of educational options it provides to parents and guardians of pupils enrolled in the elementary school.
