Bill
Summary: This bill authorizes a school district to grant
parental leave to a student, and provides that such absences
generate average daily attendance (ADA) funding if the school
district files an expectant and parenting student policy with
the California Department of Education (CDE).
*********** ANALYSIS ADDENDUM - SUSPENSE FILE ***********
The following information is revised to reflect amendments
adopted by the committee on May 27, 2016
Fiscal
Impact:
ADA funding: To the extent school districts file an expectant
and parenting student policy, students choose to take leave,
and are absent up to the length provided in this bill, state
costs would be in the mid tens of millions related to
including these absences in their ADA calculation. Actual
costs would likely be less by an unknown amount as school

districts would only generate ADA funding for the days that
schools devote at least one hour related to the instruction
each student on parental leave. (Proposition 98)
Mandate costs: The bill's requirements to expand the existing
annual parent notification mandate and disseminate information
as specified, could drive state costs of about one million.
To the extent the Commission on State Mandates (COSM)
determines these activities to be reimbursable, it could
create pressure to increase the K-12 mandate block grant.
(Proposition 98)
Administrative costs: The CDE indicates unknown costs
attributed to providing guidance to local educational agencies
related to attendance accounting for students that go on
parental leave and other programmatic and legal guidance.
(General Fund)
Author
Amendments: Reduce allowable leave time for student giving, or
expecting to give, birth to six weeks and for parenting pupils
not giving birth, three weeks. Remove the requirement to notify
pregnant and parenting students of their rights and options, as
specified, in school libraries.
Committee
Amendments: Only allow school districts to generate average
daily attendance funding for a student on parental leave for the
days that at least one hour is spent related to the instruction
of that student.
