IMPLEMENTATION OF AB 490:
Assembly Bill 490 created new rights and duties related to the education of foster youth. Under this CA Law, schools must ensure school stability, provide timely transfer of records, protect grades and credits, and provide equal access to sports and extracurricular activities. Many of the obligations placed on local educational agencies by these laws also apply to charter schools participating in a special education local plan area.
