Summary: The policy was updated to clarify that it specifically addresses involuntary transfers within the district, and now includes a review of available programs for students subject to these transfers. It adds that the Superintendent or designee must ensure such transfers are conducted in a nondiscriminatory manner, in line with new California Department of Education guidance on legal requirements and best practices for both voluntary and involuntary transfers. Furthermore, the policy outlines the procedures for transferring students convicted of violent felonies or firearm-related misdemeanors and provides details on involuntary transfers to continuation education programs or community day schools. Additionally, notice and disclosure requirements have been clarified.
