Bill > AB1348

This bill addresses how schools can maintain funding and provide educational continuity during emergencies, with a specific focus on immigration enforcement activities. From January 1, 2025, to June 30, 2026, the bill allows school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools to receive state funding for average daily attendance even if students miss school due to immigration enforcement actions. Schools will be limited to receiving credit for no more than 10 days of missed attendance per student in such situations. For these immigration-related school closures, schools must develop an independent study plan that either offers live interaction or synchronous instruction or provides a detailed explanation of why such instruction is not possible and how student engagement will be maintained. Importantly, any documentation related to immigration enforcement activities submitted to the Superintendent will be exempt from the California Public Records Act, which aims to protect the privacy and safety of affected students and families. The provisions of this bill will become inoperative on July 1, 2029, and will be fully repealed on January 1, 2030, reflecting its temporary nature in addressing a specific set of educational challenges related to immigration enforcement.
