What it does
This bill modifies provisions related to open enrollment policies and English-language learners. Current law requires receiving school districts to approve applications for open enrollment that are submitted in a timely manner unless the receiving school district has insufficient classroom space. Current law also requires each school district to adopt a policy that defines insufficient classroom space for purposes of open enrollment. The bill requires the definition of insufficient classroom space adopted by the school district to include standards related to the school district’s capacity to provide instruction to English learners.
