Summary: Policy updated to reflect federal law applicable to districts participating in certain federal programs which requires that parental notifications be presented in an understandable and uniform format and, to the extent practicable, in a language that parents/guardians can understand. Policy also revised to reflect state law requiring that parental notifications be written in the primary language, in addition to English, whenever 15 percent or more of the students enrolled in a school speak a single primary language other than English.

Exhibit updated to reflect notices required by NEW LAW, including notices related to students' right to a free public education regardless of immigration status or religious beliefs (AB 699), the employee code of conduct related to employee interactions with students (AB 500), the district's meal payment policy (USDA Memorandum SP-23-2017), a student's identification as a long-term English learner (AB 81), a negative balance in a student's meal account (SB 250), educational rights of children of military families (AB 365), and any excessive level of lead found in drinking water (AB 746). Two legal cites renumbered pursuant to federal law and regulations.
