BREAKING NEWS
CA Governor Newsom signs measure for banning “Lunch shaming!”
California’s governor has signed into law a bill that guarantees all students a state-funded meal of their choice, even if their parent or guardian has unpaid meal fees.
The measure bans the practice of “lunch shaming,” in which students who owe the school money for meals are denied food or given a cheaper alternative meal.
Under the new law, a school can no longer give a student a cheaper alternative meal.
CA Ed Code 48205 - Make Up Assignments and Tests
California Education Code 48205 (b) states that "A pupil absent from school under this section shall be allowed to complete all assignments and tests missed during the absence that can be reasonably provided.. The teacher of the class from which the pupil is absent shall determine which test and assignments shall be reasonably equivalent to, but not necessarily identical to, the tests and assignments that the pupil missed during the absence."
