From committee: Without further action pursuant to Joint Rule 62(a).
Summary
AB 1797 lets a parent of a student enrolled in a low‑performing school district apply for that student to attend a school in a different district. The bill sets deadlines, priority groups, and nondiscriminatory admission standards, and it removes outdated references to the Academic Performance Index and federal Race‑to‑the‑Top funding. It also eliminates a mandated statewide evaluation of the program.
