Summary: Mandated policy reflects NEW LAW (AB 570, 2013) which mandates that the district adopt policy with specified provisions if it allows students to voluntarily enroll in continuation education and NEW LAW (AB 97, 2013) which eliminates the Pupil Retention Block Grant. Policy also adds material on alignment of the program with goals in the LCAP, student enrollment in a regional occupational center/program in lieu of continuation education, and program evaluation.

Mandated regulation updates sections on “Voluntary Enrollment” and “Intake and Orientation” to reflect NEW LAW (AB 570, 2013) which mandates procedures governing identification, placement, and intake of students who voluntarily enroll in continuation education. Regulation adds optional program components related to parent/guardian communication, parent and community involvement, professional development, support services, and safety and school climate. Regulation also reflects NEW COURT DECISION concluding that districts are not required to exhaust all other means of correction to bring about student improvement before involuntarily transferring a student to a continuation education program.
