shall, from the general fund of the school district, pay for the

the California School for the Blind as a day-class pupil.
   For determining the school district responsible under the
provisions of this section for making the payment when the pupils
reside in other than a unified school district, pupils 15 years of
age or older as of September 1 of each fiscal year shall be
considered residents of the high school district, and pupils 14 years

the California School for the Blind, an amount not to exceed three
hundred eighty-nine dollars ($389) per fiscal year per unit of

school exceed the actual total transportation expenditures of the
school.
   The administrators of such schools shall arrange for
transportation of such pupils utilizing the most practical means
including, but not limited to, commercial bus, rail, or air, charter
bus or private passenger vehicle.

the child while at the school, or is unable either himself or from
the estate of the child to reimburse the Department of Education for
expenses incurred by it in providing dental work, eye care,
operations, or hospitalization for the child in an emergency, the
parent or guardian may apply for a certificate to that effect to the
superior court of the county of which the parent or guardian of the
child is resident. If the court is satisfied that the parent or
guardian either himself or from the estate of the child is unable to
pay for any such service, it shall issue a certificate to that

the Department of Education for expenses incurred by it in providing
dental work, eye care, operations, or hospitalization for the child
in an emergency for which the Department of Education cannot be
reimbursed by the parent or guardian of the child as shown by the

the certificate is issued. Expenditures for clothing and
transportation shall not exceed the sum of three hundred eighty-five
dollars ($385) for the 1974-75 school year, and an amount thereafter
which shall be adjusted annually in conformance with the Consumer
Price Index, all items, of the Bureau of Labor Statistics of the

issued, of an itemized claim, duly sworn to by the superintendent of
the school before an officer authorized to administer oaths, for the
expense for clothing, transportation, and other items provided and
furnished under the authority of the certificate, or for the
reimbursement of the Department of Education, the claim shall be
processed and paid pursuant to the provisions of Chapter 4
(commencing with Section 29700) of Division 3 of Title 3 of the

parent or guardian has sufficient pecuniary ability or that there are
sufficient funds in the estate of the child to provide the service
for the child or to reimburse the Department of Education for
expenses incurred by it on providing the service for the child in an
emergency, the court shall not issue the certification, but shall
according to the nature of the application before it, either order
the superintendent to provide the child with the service, or order
the parent or guardian either himself or from the estate of the
child, as the court determines, to reimburse the Department of
Education for expenses incurred by it in providing the service for
the child in an emergency.



59130.  If the Department of Education is not reimbursed by the
parent or guardian personally or from the estate of the child for
expenditures made by the superintendent under the order of the court
or if the parent or guardian does not comply with an order of the
court to reimburse the Department of Education either personally or
from the estate of the child for expenses incurred by it in providing
the service for the child in an emergency the superintendent may sue
the parent or guardian, in the name of the state, to recover any
money paid out by order of the court or due the Department of
Education as reimbursement under an order of the court.




59131.  Blind persons not residents of this state may be admitted to
