          *********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
             The following information is revised to reflect amendments 
                     adopted by the committee on August 11, 2016






          Bill  
          Summary:  This bill extends policies for graduation requirements  
          and completed coursework credit currently provided to students  
          who are in foster care or who are homeless to also apply to  
          students who transfer from a juvenile court school.  This bill,  
          among other things, requires a school district to exempt a  
          student who transfers from a juvenile court school any time  
          after the completion of grade 10 from local graduation  
          requirements that are in addition to the coursework required by  
          the state.

           Mandate: Unknown reimbursable state mandate costs, potentially  
            in the hundreds of thousands, related to expanding the areas  
            in which complaints may be made to local educational agencies  
            under the Uniform Complaint Procedures.  Likely minor costs  
            for a county office of education to award a diploma for  
            juvenile court school students fulfilling statewide graduation  
            requirements.  (Proposition 98)
           The California Department of Education indicates costs to  
            implement this bill are minor.


          Committee  
          Amendments:  Removes the mandate to expand the required course  
          of study for juvenile court schools and provides that the school  
          district operated by the Department of Juvenile Justice is not  
          subject to the bill's requirements.
