SB 438: School attendance: College and Career Access Pathways partnerships.
What SB 438 does, verified February 3, 2026
The proposed law aims to modify the minimum school day requirement in California. Currently, a high school student must attend for at least 240 minutes per day. However, this bill would reduce the minimum schoolday to 180 minutes for students participating in a College and Career Access Pathways (CCAP) partnership with a community college. This change would benefit students enrolled in such partnerships, allowing them to attend classes at the community college while still meeting the minimum school day requirement.
