Section 37712.

(a) Beginning in the 2013–14 fiscal year, the Moorpark Unified School District may operate one or more high schools offering a middle college program in the school district on a four-day school week, if the school district complies with the instructional time requirements specified in Section 37701 and the other requirements of this chapter.

(c) Notwithstanding Section 37710, if a small school having between 11 and 99 valid Standardized Testing and Reporting Program test scores operating on a four-day school week fails to achieve its Academic Performance Index growth target pursuant to Section 52052 for two consecutive years, the authority of that school to operate on a four-day school week shall be permanently revoked commencing with the school year following the second consecutive year the school failed to achieve its Academic Performance Index growth rate.

(d) If the school district operates one or more schools on a four-day school week pursuant to this section, the school district shall submit a report to the department, the Senate Committee on Education, and the Assembly Committee on Education on or before January 15, 2018. The report shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, information on all of the following:

(1) Programs the school district offered on the fifth schoolday and their participation rates.

(2) If the four-day school week schedule resulted in fiscal savings.

(6) Information on the Academic Performance Index, pursuant to Section 52052, for every year a school in the school district operated on a four-day school week. The information shall include, but not necessarily be limited to, the base and growth Academic Performance Index of each school that operated on a four-day school week and whether that school met the Academic Performance Index growth targets.

(7) Specific outcomes for pupils attending a school operating on a four-day school week including, but not limited to, attendance rates, graduation rates, college entrance and attendance rates, and employment rates of pupils who do not attend college.

(e) The Moorpark Unified School District operating one or more schools on a four-day school week pursuant to this section may claim a day of attendance for the pupils enrolled in a school operating on a four-day school week pursuant to Sections 11300, 11301, and 46146.5.

(f) Notwithstanding this section, upon a determination that the school district identified in subdivision (a) equals or exceeds its local control funding formula target computed pursuant to Section 42238.02, as determined by the calculation of a zero difference pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03, the school district, as a condition of apportionment pursuant to Section 42238.02, as implemented pursuant to Section 42238.03, shall offer 180 days or more of instruction per year, and shall meet the minimum minute requirements pursuant to paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 46207.

(g) This section shall become inoperative on June 30, 2018, and, as of January 1, 2019, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2019, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
