Summary

The bill changes the Education Code so that any school district that joins an inter‑district transfer agreement after Jan. 1, 2027 must adopt and publish a detailed transfer policy online. It also adds automatic approval rules, appeal rights, and special protections for bullied students, military families, and low‑income pupils. The goal is to speed up transfers, reduce paperwork delays, and make the process more transparent for parents.
