Existing law provides that each person between 6 and 18 years of age not exempted is subject to compulsory full-time education and requires a person subject to compulsory education to attend the public full-time day school or continuation school or classes in the school district in which the residence of the parents or legal guardian is located. Existing law requires a school district to accept enumerated documentation, including property tax payment records, as reasonable evidence of a pupil’s residence. Existing law states that a pupil complies with the residency requirements if the pupil’s parent is transferred or is pending transfer to a military installation within the state while on active military duty pursuant to an official military order. Existing law authorizes a parent to use one of several enumerated addresses, including that of a temporary on-base billeting facility, for purposes of school application, enrollment, and registration.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
