Section 8482.8.
-
(a) If there is a significant barrier to pupil participation in a program established pursuant to this article at the school of attendance for either the before school or the after school component, an applicant may request approval from the Superintendent, prior to or during the grant application process, to provide services at another schoolsite for that component. An applicant that requests approval shall describe the manner in which the applicant intends to provide safe, supervised transportation between schoolsites; ensure communication among teachers in the regular school program, staff in the before school and after school components of the program, and parents of pupils; and align the educational and literacy component of the before and after school components of the program with the regular school programs of participating pupils.
(b) For purposes of this article, a significant barrier to pupil participation in the before or after school component of a program established pursuant to this chapter means either of the following:
(1) Fewer than 20 pupils participating in the component of the program.
(2) Extreme transportation constraints, including, but not limited to, desegregation bussing, bussing for magnet or open enrollment schools, or pupil dependence on public transportation.
(c) In addition to the authority to transfer funds among school programs pursuant to Sections 8483.7 and 8483.75, and in addition to the flexibility provided by subdivisions (a) and (b), a program grantee that is temporarily prevented from operating a program established pursuant to this article at the program site due to natural disaster, civil unrest, or imminent danger to pupils or staff may shift program funds to the sites of other programs established pursuant to this article to meet attendance targets during that time period.
(d) If a program grantee is temporarily prevented from operating its entire program due to natural disaster, civil unrest, or imminent danger to pupils or staff, the department may recommend, and the state board may approve, a request by the grantee for payment equal to the amount of funding the grantee would have received if it had been able to operate its entire program during that time period.
(e) Upon the request of a program grantee, the state board may approve other unforeseen events as qualifying a program grantee to use the authority provided by subdivisions (c) and (d).
