EHA(LEGAL) - CURRICULUM DESIGN: BASIC INSTRUCTIONAL PROGRAM

Request for Program

If the parents or guardians of at least 22 students at a school request a transfer for the same school year to another school in the district for the purpose of enrolling in an educational program offered at that school, the district shall offer such a program, beginning with the following school year, at the school from which the transfers were requested. The program may be offered by teleconference.

"Educational program" means a course or series of courses in the required curriculum other than a fine arts course or a career and technology course.

Education Code 28.003

Parental Requests

A parent is entitled to request, with the expectation that the request will not be unreasonably denied:

  1. The addition of a specific academic class in the course of study of the parent's child in keeping with the required curriculum if sufficient interest is shown in the addition of the class to make it economically practical to offer the class.
  2. That the parent's child be permitted to attend a class for credit above the child's grade level, whether in the child's school or another school, unless the board or its designated representative expects that the child cannot perform satisfactorily in the class.

The decision of the board concerning such a request is final and may not be appealed. [See FNG]

Pandemic Cancellation

A district is not liable for damages or equitable monetary relief arising from a cancellation or modification of a course, program, or activity of the district if the cancellation or modification arose during a pandemic emergency and was caused, in whole or in part, by the emergency. Education Code 148.004

Videotape or Recording

A district employee is not required to obtain the consent of a child's parent before the employee may videotape the child or record the child's voice if the videotape or recording is to be used only for a purpose related to regular classroom instruction. Education Code 26.009(b)(3)
