Changes to How County Community and Juvenile Court Schools Are Run

This law allows a county board of education to contract with any local school district within the same county to run community schools for certain students, rather than being limited by location.

What This Bill Does

  • Allows a county board of education to sign contracts with any local educational agency inside the same county to manage county community schools.
  • Requires that juvenile court schools be managed by either the county superintendent or through a contract with a local educational agency in the county, removing the requirement that the district must be where the school is located.

Who It Names or Affects

  • County boards of education
  • Local educational agencies such as elementary, high school, or unified districts within a county

Limits and Unknowns

  • The official text does not specify the exact date this law will take effect.
  • The source material does not explain what happens if no local educational agency agrees to sign a contract.
