Summary:
|
MANDATED policy updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 1575) which clarifies the prohibition against charging of student fees, prescribes the use of uniform complaint procedures for filing a complaint when the charging of an impermissible fee is alleged, and requires information about student fees to be included in the annual notification regarding uniform complaint procedures. Also, updated to reflect NEW TITLE 5 REGULATION (Register 2013, No. 38) which addresses remedies to be provided to all affected students and parents/guardians if the district is found in violation of the prohibition against unauthorized student fees. Policy also clarifies that the prohibition against student fees does not restrict districts from soliciting for voluntary donations, participating in fundraising activities, or providing prizes or other recognition for participants in such fundraising events. Policy reorganized and updated to reflect a California Department of Education (CDE) management advisory regarding the prohibition against requiring parent/guardian volunteer hours or payment as a condition of the student's enrollment or participation in educational activities.
Regulation updated to reflect NEW LAW (SB 1016) which requires the district to charge a fee to families enrolled in part-day preschool programs and/or wraparound child care services in accordance with the fee schedule established by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. Also, updated to expand and clarify the list of permissible fees and align material with California Department of Education Fiscal Management Advisories, and updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 2615, 2016) which permits districts to charge a fee for participation in After School Education and Safety (ASES) programs, 21st Century Community Learning Center (21st CCLC) programs, and 21st Century High School After School Safety and Enrichment for Teens (ASSETs) program, as long as the fee is waived or reduced for low-income families and, effective July 1, 2017, the fee is not charged for a homeless or foster youth. Regulation also clarifies the permissibility of charging a fee for in-state field trips in accordance with CDE's interpretation of law, provided that no student is prevented from participating based on a lack of funds.
