EDUCATION CODE

SECTION 46160-46162

46160. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, the governing
board of a school district that maintains a junior high school or
high school may schedule classes in these schools so that each pupil
attends classes for at least 1,200 minutes during any five-schoolday
period or 2,400 minutes during any 10-schoolday period.
Under that kind of schedule, any pupil may be authorized to attend
school for less than the total number of days in which the school is
in session as long as the pupil attends the required number of
minutes per five-schoolday period or per 10-schoolday period to
accommodate career technical education and regional occupational
center and program courses and block or other alternative school
class schedules.
Computations authorized by this section shall not result in an
increase in state apportionments to a school district.

46161. If a pupil attends classes pursuant to a schedule adopted
under the authority of this chapter, he shall be deemed to have
complied with all of the requirements of this code relating to school
attendance.

46162. Prior to implementing a program under the provisions of this
chapter in any school of the district, the school district governing
board shall consult in good faith in an effort to reach agreement
with the certificated and classified employees of the school, with
the parents of pupils who would be affected by the change, and with
the community at large. Such consultation shall include at least one
public hearing for which the board has given adequate notice to the
employees and to the parents of pupils affected.
