California SB438 amends school attendance rules for early and middle college high schools.

California SB438 amends Section 46146.5 of the Education Code to adjust attendance requirements for pupils in early college high schools and middle college high schools. It specifies that a day of attendance for a pupil in grades 11 or 12 at these schools is 180 minutes if they are also enrolled part-time in courses at the California State University or the University of California. The bill also mandates that at least 80 percent of the instructional time offered by these charter schools must be at the schoolsite. These changes are subject to annual audits.
