School attendance: College and Career Access Pathways partnerships.
Returned to Secretary of Senate pursuant to Joint Rule 56.
Summary
The bill changes the Education Code so that 11th‑ and 12th‑grade students attending early‑college, middle‑college, or any school with a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) agreement—and who are taking part‑time CSU, UC, or community‑college classes for credit—need only 180 minutes of attendance per day instead of the usual 240. It also sets onsite‑instruction and attendance percentages for charter schools that run these programs and requires an annual audit of compliance. The goal is to give students more flexibility to earn college credit while still meeting high‑school attendance rules.
