| CA | Vetoed 10/2011 | P-12 | From bill summary: Existing law, the Open Enrollment Act, allows the parent of a pupil enrolled in a low-achieving school to submit an application for the pupil to attend school in a district other than the district in which the parent of the pupil resides. Existing law defines a low-achieving school, for purposes of these provisions, as a school included by the superintendent of public instruction on a list of 1,000 schools ranked by increasing Academic Performance Index score. Existing law provides that no local educational agency may have more than 10% of its schools on the list and that specified types of schools, including charter
schools, may not be included on the list.
New provisions instead provide that the list created by the superintendent to define low-achieving schools may include up to 1,000 schools, that a local educational agency shall not have more than 10% of its schools on the list, calculated as specified, and that county offices of education operating a special education program and state special schools should not be included on the list. Provides that a school may only be identified as a low-achieving school if it is identified on the list for 2 consecutive years. Deletes the provision excluding charter schools from inclusion on the list. Provides that a school district of enrollment may
not reject the transfer of an individual with exceptional needs or an English learner if he or she is randomly selected through a lottery conducted if demand exceeds spaces available at a school.

| CA | In Senate. Consideration of Governor's veto pending 09/2011 | P-12 | Existing law defines a school district of choice as one in which the district's governing board has, by resolution, elected to accept interdistrict transfers and has determined the number of transfers it is willing to accept through a random, unbiased process. Existing provisions either require or permit priority for transfers to be given to children from certain specified groups. New provision requires a school district of choice to give priority for attendance to English learners, pupils who are individuals with exceptional needs, and pupils who are eligible for free and reduced-price meals. Requires that a school district of choice ensure that a pupil who transfers into the district is enrolled in a school with a higher Academic Performance Index score than the school in which the pupil was previously enrolled.

| FL | Signed into law 06/2011 | P-12 | From House of Representatives Staff Analysis: Expands the definition of a failing school for purposes of student eligibility for the Opportunity Scholarship Program (OSP) (Created in 1999 as part of a broad education reform package known as the A+ Plan; Designed to provide parents of public school students in failing schools the opportunity to send their children to another public school performing satisfactorily or to an eligible private school), by changing the classification of a failing school from a school receiving two "F's" in a four-year period to a school that receives a "D" or an "F" in the prior year and is in one of the two lowest categories of differentiated accountability.
