pupils.



	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1088, Price. Pupils: readmission.
   Existing law requires each school district and county office of
education to accept for credit full or partial coursework
satisfactorily completed by a pupil while attending a public school,
juvenile court school, or nonpublic, nonsectarian school or agency.
If a pupil completes the graduation requirements of his or her school
district of residence while being detained in a juvenile facility,
as specified, the school district of residence is required to issue
to the pupil a diploma from the school the pupil last attended before
detention or, in the alternative, the county superintendent of
schools is authorized to issue the diploma.
   This bill would prohibit a public school from denying enrollment
or readmission to a pupil solely on the basis that he or she has had
contact with the juvenile justice system, as specified.



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

  SECTION 1.  Section 48645.5 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   48645.5.  (a) Each public school district and county office of
education shall accept for credit full or partial coursework
satisfactorily completed by a pupil while attending a public school,
juvenile court school, or nonpublic, nonsectarian school or agency.
The coursework shall be transferred by means of the standard state
transcript. If a pupil completes the graduation requirements of his
or her school district of residence while being detained, the school
district of residence shall issue to the pupil a diploma from the
school the pupil last attended before detention or, in the
alternative, the county superintendent of schools may issue the
diploma.
   (b) A pupil shall not be denied enrollment or readmission to a
public school solely on the basis that he or she has had contact with
the juvenile justice system, including, but not limited to:
   (1) Arrest.
   (2) Adjudication by a juvenile court.
   (3) Formal or informal supervision by a probation officer.
   (4) Detention for any length of time in a juvenile facility or
enrollment in a juvenile court school.
