Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 46146.5 of the Education Code, relating to school attendance.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing California education law to expand the definition of a reduced-length school day for high school students participating in College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnerships. Currently, students in grades 11 and 12 at early college or middle college high schools can have a shorter school day of 180 minutes if they are simultaneously enrolled in university or community college courses. The bill would now explicitly include students enrolled under a CCAP partnership agreement in this reduced school day provision, standardizing the attendance requirements for these students. A CCAP partnership is a formal agreement between a community college district and a school district that allows high school students to take community college courses, which helps students gain college credits and potentially accelerate their education. The bill also updates definitions of middle college and early college high schools and ensures that these attendance changes will be subject to annual audits to maintain accountability. By making these changes, the bill aims to provide more flexible educational pathways for high school students to simultaneously earn high school and college credits.
