Summary:
|
The policy was updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 167, 2021) which relaxes certain independent study (IS) requirements with respect to any student who is unable to attend in-person instruction due to a quarantine or school closure during the 2021-22 school year and to incorporate California Department of Education program clarifications, including that a district is permitted to (1) require students who cannot participate in classroom-based instruction during the school year due to quarantine or school closure because of infection with or exposure to COVID-19 to participate in IS, (2) claim apportionment credit for such students' participation in IS for fewer than the minimum three consecutive days generally required for IS, and (3) obtain a signed written agreement from each participating student not later than 30 days after IS begins, rather than before a student may participate in IS.
The regulation was updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 167, 2021) which permits districts to offer Independent Study (IS) to students who are unable to attend in-person instruction due to a quarantine pursuant to local or state public health guidance because of exposure to or infection with COVID-19. The regulation was also revised to clarify that a student must be enrolled in school in order to participate in IS. |
