Assembly Bill No. 275

Introduced by Assembly Member Alejo

An act to amend Section 54441.5 of the Education Code, relating to migrant education.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 275, as introduced, Alejo. Migrant education.

Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt a state master plan for services to migrant children. Under existing law, with the concurrence of a child’s parent, a child who has been identified as a “migrant child” may be deemed a migrant child for a period, not in excess of 3 years, during which the child resides in an area where programs are provided for migrant children.

This bill would make a nonsubstantive change to the latter provision.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no. State-mandated local program: no.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:
