Board holds first reading on residency, attendance‑boundary and open‑enrollment policy updates
Summary
Staff read CSBA-recommended updates to district policies on residency (BP 5111.1), attendance boundaries (BP 5116) and intra/inter-district enrollment (BP 5116.1) as first readings; trustees discussed applicability given the district’s size and did not take final action.
Staff presented first readings of updated board policy and administrative regulations on district residency (BP 5111.1), attendance boundaries (BP 5116) and intra/inter-district enrollment (BP 5116.1). The presenter said the language was updated per California School Boards Association (CSBA) recommendations to clarify documentation requirements, residency based on parent/guardian employment, and substitute addressing for families in safe‑at‑home programs.
Board members asked whether the changes were net new policies or updates and staff confirmed these are revisions to existing policies. Because these were first readings, trustees did not adopt the policies at the meeting and will consider them again in a future session.
Why it matters: policy updates touch enrollment eligibility and documentation procedures; changes affect families applying for district enrollment or requesting inter‑district permits.
