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. Fiscal Impact: AB 2306 (Frazier) Page 1 of ? 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. -- END --
