Q: A student had an inter district transfer agreement. We were told her enrollment was conditional for truancy.
So we enrolled her in her home district just in case the enrollment was revoked a couple of days before school. The SARB was to be held a couple of days after school. Upon receiving the records request, the inter district immediately dropped the enrollment of the student before school and before the SARB. Was the enrollment drop unlawful, or did we have the right to choose to continue going to the other district until the SARB was complete.
A: Under California law, whether the drop in enrollment was lawful can depend heavily on the specific terms outlined in the inter-district transfer agreement and the district's policy on truancy. Generally, it would be expected that a decision such as this would only be made following the completion of the SARB process. To fully assess the lawfulness, it would be important to scrutinize the precise stipulations in the agreement while keeping in mind the individual policies of the involved districts.
