Summary: Policy updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 99, 2017) which makes a number of changes to the school district of choice program, including (1) requiring a participating district to register as a school district of choice with the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the county board of education by July 1, 2018; (2) expanding the factors that must not be considered by districts in the selection process; and (3) revising the requirements for annually reporting the disposition of transfer requests.

Regulation updated to reflect provisions of AB 99 related to public announcements regarding the program, priorities for admission, and the timeline for notification of a student's provisional acceptance or rejection. Regulation also reflects NEW LAW (SB 344, 2017) which gives the county board in a class 1 county, as defined, 60 calendar days to decide an appeal when a district denies a transfer under an Interdistrict attendance agreement. Section on "Transfers Out of the District" moved from BP to AR, and revised to reflect NEW LAW (AB 2659, 2016) which provides that a district must not prohibit the transfer of a child of a military family to any district that approves the transfer.
