EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 59020-59031



59020.  Every deaf person between the ages of 3 and 21 years, who is
a resident of the state and who meets the criteria set forth in this
section, is entitled to an education in the California School for
the Deaf free of charge.
   Priority in admission to the California School for the Deaf shall
be given to elementary age deaf minors residing in sparsely populated
regions and to secondary age deaf minors in need of a high school
program, for whom appropriate comprehensive educational facilities
and services are not available or cannot be reasonably provided by
their local school districts or county educational agencies.
   The criteria of admission to California Schools for the Deaf and
Blind shall be administratively determined by the Superintendent of
Public Instruction.


59023.  If the parent or guardian of any pupil in the school is
unable either himself or from the estate of the child to clothe the
child, or pay for its transportation to and from school, or for
necessary dental work, eye care, operations, and hospitalization of
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 a 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
effect. The application for the certificate may also be made to the
court by the superintendent of the school.



59024.  If it appears to the satisfaction of the court that 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 in providing the service for the child in an
emergency, the court shall not issue the certificate, 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.



59025.  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.




59026.  All money expended under the authority of any such
certificate for clothing and transportation, necessary dental work,
eye care, operations, and hospitalization, and all money expended by
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
certificate, constitutes a legal charge against the county from which
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
United States Department of Labor, measured for the calendar year
next preceding the fiscal year to which it applies. The State
Controller shall determine the amount authorized pursuant to this
section for the 1975-76 school year and thereafter.



59027.  The certificate shall be presented to the superintendent of
the school. When the certificate shows that the parent or guardian of
the child is unable either himself or from the estate of the child
to clothe the child, or pay for his transportation to and from
school, or for necessary dental work, eye care, operations, and
hospitalization of the child while in school, the superintendent
shall clothe the child and provide the transportation, necessary
dental work, eye care, operations, and hospitalization. The expense
of the services, or any of them, shall be advanced by the Department
of Education out of money appropriated for the support of the school.




59028.  Upon presentation to the county in which the certificate is
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
Government Code. The amount paid and all reimbursements of the
Department of Education under this section shall be credited to the
current appropriation for the support and maintenance of the school.




59029.  All pupils in the school shall be maintained at the expense
of the state, except as provided in Sections 59021, 59023 to 59028,
inclusive, 59030, and 59031.



59030.  The governing board of each school district of residence
shall, from the general fund of the school district, pay for the
transportation cost of each pupil of the district in attendance at
the California School for the Deaf 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
of age or under as of September 1 shall be considered residents of
the elementary district.



59030.5.  The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allow to
the California Schools for the Deaf, an amount not to exceed three
hundred eighty-nine dollars ($389) per fiscal year per unit of
average daily attendance of each deaf pupil attending one of the
schools as a five-day residential pupil for the purpose of providing
transportation to and from the pupil's home on weekends and school
holiday periods. In no case shall the total apportionment made to the
schools exceed the actual total transportation expenditures of the
schools.
   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.



59031.  Deaf persons not residents of this state may be admitted to
the benefits of the school upon paying to the Department of Education
the school year cost for the maintenance, care, and instruction of
persons at the school, payable quarterly in advance. The cost of the
care, maintenance, and instruction shall be determined by the
Department of Education with the approval of the Department of
Finance.
