THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 37712 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   37712.  Notwithstanding any other law, the Moorpark Unified School
District may operate one or more schools in the school district on a
four-day school week, if the school district complies with the
instructional time requirements specified in Section 37701 and the
other requirements of this chapter.
  SEC. 2.  The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is
necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the
meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution
because of the unique circumstances facing many of the pupils
enrolled in the Moorpark Unified School District.
