INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Alejo

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

	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:

  SECTION 1.  Section 54441.5 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   54441.5.  With the concurrence of the 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 three years, during which the
child resides in an area where programs are provided for migrant
children. Priority for the provision of services shall be consistent
with federal statutes and regulations  governing 
 that govern  migrant education programs.
