SB 959: Average daily attendance: emergencies: major safety hazard.
What SB 959 does, verified August 19, 2026
This bill aims to adjust the average daily attendance for schools affected by emergencies, including major safety hazards. If a school's attendance has been significantly decreased due to an emergency, the state will estimate the attendance based on the actual decrease, rather than the usual method. A local fire agency can now make a determination of the imminence of a major safety hazard, allowing for a more accurate estimate. The bill will take effect immediately, as it is declared an urgency statute.
