| CA | Vetoed--in Senate to unfinished business 10/2004 | P-12 | The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for costs mandated by the state and incurred by a local agency or school district to implement a new program or higher level of service. Existing law creates certain exceptions. This bill includes within that exception costs mandated by a statute or executive order that imposes a duty on a local agency or school district that was expressly included in a ballot measure approved by the voters in a local election.
Repeals provisions requiring a school district that succeeds the Grant Joint Union High School District to use, for home-to-school transportation, the funding made available pursuant to voluntary desegregation programs and requires that pupils in grades 7 to 12 who apply to transfer from a school district that succeeds the Grant Joint Union High School District to another school district that succeeds the Grant Joint Union High School District to be granted a transfer according to certain priorities, among which is that the transfer would mitigate schoolsite segregation. Replaces with statement of the intent of the Legislature that, if the Grant Joint Union High School District is reorganized to create two new unified school districts, the reorganization must be implemented in a manner that provides constitutionally permissible opportunities for the voluntary racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic integration of pupils attending each school district.
Requires a proposal to reorganize the Grant Joint Union High School District that is initiated by the Sacramento County Committee on School District Organization and approved by the State Board of Education before December 31, 2007, to include requirements that pupils eligible to enroll in any of grades 7 to 12, except expelled pupils, whose parents are residents of any school district that succeeds the Grant Joint Union
High School District have the same rights to enroll in any secondary school in a district that succeeds the Grant Joint Union High School District as a pupil whose parents are residents of that other district, and that the successor school districts to the Grant Joint Union High School District provide free transportation to these pupils if they so request, hold joint annual meetings to review segregation issues, and grant seniority rights to employees of school districts that cease to exist as a result of the proposal who become employees of the successor districts.
Requires a ballot measure to approve this proposal to clearly inform the voters that by approving the measure the voters are mandating the successor school districts to incur costs to implement the requirements described above and that these costs would not be reimbursed by the state. Makes legislative findings and declarations in this regard. http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/bill/sen/sb_1251-1300/sb_1271_bill_20040823_enrolled.pdf
