 BILL NUMBER: SB 745INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Senator Hernandez FEBRUARY 18, 2011 An act to amend Section 48306 of the Education Code, relating to pupils. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 745, as introduced, Hernandez. Pupils: school attendance. Existing law defines a school district of choice as one in which the governing board has, by resolution, elected to accept interdistrict transfers and has determined the number of transfers it is willing to accept through a random, unbiased process, as specified. Existing law requires a school district of choice to give priority for attendance to siblings of children already in attendance in that district. Existing law provides that a school district of choice may give priority for attendance to children of military personnel. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to that provision. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 48306 of the Education Code is amended to read: 48306. (a) A school district of choice shall give priority for attendance to siblings of  children   pupil   s  already in attendance in that district. (b) A school district of choice may give priority for attendance to children of military personnel.
