SECTION 48050-48054

48050. The governing board of any school district may, with the
approval of the county superintendent of schools, admit to the
elementary and high schools of the district pupils living in an
adjoining state which is contiguous to the school district. An
agreement shall be entered into between the governing board and the
governing board or authority of the school district in which the
pupils reside providing for the payment by the latter of an amount
sufficient to reimburse the district of attendance for the total cost
of educating the pupil, including the total of the amounts expended
per pupil for the current expenses of education, the use of buildings
and equipment, the repayment of local bonds and interest payments
and state building loan funds, capital outlay, and transportation to
and from school. The amount of the tuition for the current expenses
of education per unit of average daily attendance of pupils from the
adjoining state shall equal the average current expenditure,
exclusive of all transportation expenditures, per unit of average
daily attendance in the district of attendance. The per pupil cost
attributable to capital outlay shall be on the basis of an average
expenditure for the preceding five years. The cost of transportation
shall not exceed ten dollars ($10) per month. Tuition payments shall
be made during the school year with final payment at the end of the
school year after all costs have been determined. If the amount paid
is more or less than the total cost of education and transportation,
adjustment shall be made for the following semester or school year.
The attendance of the pupils shall not be included in computing the
average daily attendance of the class or school for the purpose of
obtaining apportionment of state funds. In lieu of entering an
agreement with the governing board or authority of the school
district in which the pupil from the adjoining state resides, the
governing board of the school district in this state may enter an
agreement with the parent or guardian of the pupil on the same terms
as is provided in this section.

48051. Any person, otherwise eligible for admission to any class or
school of a school district of this state, whose parents are or are
not citizens of the United States, whose actual and legal residence
is in a foreign country adjacent to this state, and who regularly
returns within a 24-hour period to said foreign country may be
admitted to the class or school of the district by the governing
board of the district.

48052. The governing board of the district shall, as a condition
precedent to the admission of any person, under Section 48051,
require the parent or guardian of such person to pay to the district
an amount not more than sufficient to reimburse the district for the
total cost of educating the person, incuding the total of the amounts
expended per pupil for the current expenses of education, the use of
buildings and equipment, the repayment of local bonds and interest
payments and state building loan funds, capital outlay, and
transportation to and from school. The per pupil cost attributable to
capital outlay shall be on the basis of an average expenditure for
the preceding five years. The cost of transportation shall not exceed
ten dollars ($10) per month. Tuition payments shall be made in
advance for each month or semester during the period of attendance.
If the amount paid is more or less than the total cost of education
and transportation, adjustment shall be made for the following
semester or school year. The attendance of the pupils shall not be
included in computing the average daily attendance of the class or
school for the purpose of obtaining apportionment of state funds. The
school district shall not be eligible for nonimmigrant or noncitizen
reimbursement under the provisions of Chapter 11 (commencing with
Section 42900) of Part 24 of Division 3 of this title, Article 2
(commencing with Section 56865) of Chapter 6 of Part 30 of this

by his parents or guardian, for admission or attendance in any class
in any school district which provides instruction under Section 3074
of the Labor Code in accord with the requirements of subdivision (d)
of Section 3078 of that code.

and implement a specific plan to help achieve the objectives
contained in the April 17, 1996, Joint Statement between the United

the private sector. No state funds shall be appropriated to the State
Department of Education for the purposes of developing and
implementing the plan required pursuant to subdivision (a).
