	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1225, as introduced, Wright. Pupil transportation: pupil
safety.
   Existing law prohibits a governing board of a school district from
requiring the transportation of a student or pupil for any purpose
or for any reason without the written permission of the parent or
guardian unless there is an emergency arising from illness or injury
to the student or pupil.
   This bill would also authorize the transportation of a pupil
without the written permission of the parent or guardian in situation
that requires the immediate transportation of the pupil to ensure
his or her safety. The bill would also make nonsubstantive changes to
this provision.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.
