SECTION 48800-48802



48800.  (a) The governing board of a school district may determine
which pupils would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational
work. The intent of this section is to provide educational enrichment
opportunities for a limited number of eligible pupils, rather than
to reduce current course requirements of elementary and secondary
schools, and also to help ensure a smoother transition from high
school to college for pupils by providing them with greater exposure
to the collegiate atmosphere. The governing board may authorize those
pupils, upon recommendation of the principal of the pupil's school
of attendance, and with parental consent, to attend a community
college during any session or term as special part-time or full-time
students and to undertake one or more courses of instruction offered
at the community college level.
   (b) If the governing board denies a request for a special
part-time or full-time enrollment at a community college for any
session or term for a pupil who is identified as highly gifted, the
governing board shall issue its written recommendation and the
reasons for the denial within 60 days. The written recommendation and
denial shall be issued at the next regularly scheduled board meeting
that falls at least 30 days after the request has been submitted.
   (c) A pupil shall receive credit for community college courses
that he or she completes at the level determined appropriate by the
governing boards of the school district and community college
district.

community college summer session only if that pupil meets all of the

studied.
   (B) Exhausts all opportunities to enroll in an equivalent course,
if any, at his or her school of attendance.
   (2) For any particular grade level, a principal shall not
recommend for community college summer session attendance more than 5
percent of the total number of pupils who completed that grade
immediately prior to the time of recommendation.
   (3) A high school pupil recommended by his or her principal for
enrollment in a course shall not be included in the 5-percent
limitation of pupils allowed to be recommended pursuant to paragraph
(2) if the course in which the pupil is enrolled meets one of the
criterion listed in subparagraphs (A) to (C), inclusive, and the high
school principal who recommends the pupil for enrollment provides
the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, upon the request
of that office, with the data required for purposes of paragraph
(4).
   (A) The course is a lower division, college-level course for
credit that is designated as part of the Intersegmental General
Education Transfer Curriculum or applies toward the general education
breadth requirements of the California State University.
   (B) The course is a college-level, occupational course for credit
assigned a priority code of "A," "B," or "C," pursuant to the Student
Accountability Model, as defined by the Chancellor of the California
Community Colleges and reported in the management information
system, and the course is part of a sequence of vocational or career
technical education courses leading to a degree or certificate in the
subject area covered by the sequence.
   (C) The course is necessary to assist a pupil who has not passed
the California High School Exit Examination (CAHSEE), does not offer
college credit in English language arts or mathematics, and the pupil
meets both of the following requirements:
   (i) The pupil is in his or her senior year of high school.
   (ii) The pupil has completed all other graduation requirements
prior to the end of his or her senior year, or will complete all
remaining graduation requirements during a community college summer
session, which he or she is recommended to enroll in, following his
or her senior year of high school.
   (4) On or before March 1 of each year, the Chancellor of the
California Community Colleges shall report to the Department of
Finance the number of pupils recommended pursuant to paragraph (3)
who enroll in community college summer session courses and who
receive a passing grade. The information in this report may be
submitted with the report required by subdivision (c) of Section
76002.
   (5) The Board of Governors of the California Community Colleges
shall not include enrollment growth attributable to paragraph (3) as
part of its annual budget request for the California Community
Colleges.
   (6) Notwithstanding Article 3 (commencing with Section 33050) of
Chapter 1 of Part 20 of Division 2 of Title 2, compliance with this
subdivision shall not be waived.
   (e) Paragraphs (3), (4), and (5) of subdivision (d) shall become
inoperative on January 1, 2014.



48800.5.  (a) A parent or guardian of a pupil, regardless of the
pupil's age or class level, may petition the governing board of the
school district in which the pupil is enrolled to authorize the
attendance of the pupil at a community college as a special full-time
student on the ground that the pupil would benefit from advanced
scholastic or vocational work that would thereby be available. If the
governing board denies the petition, the pupil's parent or guardian
may file an appeal with the county board of education, which shall
render a final decision on the petition in writing within 30 days.

public school may directly petition the president of any community
college to authorize the attendance of the pupil at the community

that the pupil would benefit from advanced scholastic or vocational
work that would thereby be available.
   (d) Any pupil authorized to attend a community college as a
special full-time student shall, nevertheless, be required to
undertake courses of instruction of a scope and duration sufficient
to satisfy the requirements of law.
   (e) For purposes of allowances and apportionments from the State
School Fund, a community college shall be credited with additional
units of average daily attendance attributable to the attendance of
special full-time students at the community college.



48801.  Any student authorized to attend a community college as a

   The student shall also be required to attend school for the
minimum schoolday, except as provided for in Section 46145 or 46147.
However, the governing board of the school district may permit the
student to attend school for such a lesser period of time than the
minimum schoolday as the board shall find to be in the student's best
interests.


48802.  (a) For purposes of allowances and apportionments from
Section B of the State School Fund, a community college shall be
credited with additional units of average daily attendance
attributable to the attendance of pupils at the community college as
special part-time students pursuant to this article and as set forth
in Section 76002.
   (b) A school district whose pupils attend a community college as
special part-time students pursuant to this article shall, for

School Fund, continue to receive credit for attendance by those
pupils computed in the manner prescribed by law, and a pupil's
attendance at school for the minimum schoolday shall be deemed a day
of attendance for purposes of making the computation.
