Average daily attendance: emergencies: major safety hazard.
Read second time. Ordered to consent calendar.
Summary
The bill changes the Education Code so that if a school district, county office of education, or charter school’s average daily attendance drops because of a declared emergency—such as fire, flood, epidemic, or a major safety hazard identified by police or fire officials—the state will estimate the attendance as if the emergency had not occurred. This ensures the district receives its full funding allocation despite the disruption. It also adds procedures for how long the emergency period can be counted and provides limited COVID‑19 attendance rules.
