CA AB740

Requires charter schools to provide written notice of intent to remove foster children and Indian children to their educational rights holders, attorneys, county social workers, and tribal social workers (as applicable), in addition to parents or guardians.

Mandates that foster children's educational rights holders, attorneys, and county social workers receive the same rights as parents to receive suspension notices, expulsion notices, manifestation determination notices, involuntary transfer notices, and related documents.

Requires school districts to notify foster children's and Indian children's representatives (educational rights holders, attorneys, social workers) when suspensions occur without prior conference, when assigning pupils to supervised suspension classrooms, and at least 10 calendar days before expulsion hearings.

Extends protections to Indian children by requiring notification to tribal social workers and county social workers in suspension, expulsion, and involuntary transfer proceedings, with the same rights afforded to parents.

Designates this legislation as imposing state-mandated local programs, allowing reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for compliance costs through existing statutory procedures.
