INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Bradford

                        FEBRUARY 18, 2011

   An act to amend Section 49068 of the Education Code, relating to
pupil transfers.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1065, as introduced, Bradford. Pupil transfers: records.
   Existing law requires a pupil's former district or private school
to transfer the pupil's permanent record, or a copy thereof, upon a
request from the district or private school where the pupil intends
to enroll.
   This bill would require the former district or private school to
perform the transfer no later than 5 business days following the date
of the request. By imposing a new requirement on school districts to
transfer records within 5 business days, this bill would impose a
state-mandated local program.
   The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local
agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the
state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that
reimbursement.
   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates
determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state,
reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these
statutory provisions.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: yes.

  no later than five business days following the date of
the  request from the district or private school where the
pupil intends to enroll.  Any   A  school
district requesting such a transfer of a record shall notify the

the Government Code.
