Definition
In 1995 the Legislature enacted two significant bills that responded to the zero- tolerance mandate from the general public: AB922 and SB966. Among their many provisions, AB922 (Chapter 974) established Community Day Schools and SB966 (Chapter 9720) effective July 1, 1996, required a governing board of the LEA to provide an educational placement to all students who were expelled pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (e) of Education Code section 48915 . This placement must be in a program of study that can appropriately accommodate students with discipline problems, is not provided at a comprehensive school, and is not housed at the school that the student was attending at the time of expulsion. Community Day Schools have the following characteristics:
•
They are operated by LEAs.
• They must offer a 360-minute instructional day.
