intended to have low student-teacher ratios. Students benefit from learning support services that include school counselors and psychologists, academic and vocational counselors, and pupil discipline personnel. Students also receive collaborative services from county offices of education, law enforcement, probation, and human services agency personnel who work with at-risk youths. CDSs are supported by supplemental apportionments for CDS attendance, in addition to base revenue funding. The laws specific to CDSs are in California Education Code (EC) sections 48660—48667. More information is available on the CDE Community Day Schools Web site at http://www.cde.ca.gov/sp/eo/cd and at the Community Day Schools Network Web site at http://www.cdsnetwork.org. In October 2005, the California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) reported that 244 districts and 17 county offices of education operated CDSs. While CBEDS shows that 11,182 students were enrolled in 338 CDSs on the reporting day, there is a significant turnover in CDS students as they transition in and out of CDSs throughout the year. Approximately 30,000 students actually were served in CDSs during the 200-06 school year. Also, the number of CDSs continues to grow. Approximately 370 CDSs are expected to be in operation during the 2006-07 school year. Continuation Education Continuation education, an educational option for students since 1919, is a high school diploma program to meet the needs of students sixteen through eighteen years of age who have not graduated from high school, are not exempt from compulsory school attendance, and are deemed at risk of not completing their schooling. The Model Continuation High School Recognition program is a partnership between the California Department of Education and the California Continuation Education Association that identifies outstanding schools and creates a list of quality programs for school visitations. Students enrolled in continuation education programs are often credit deficient. They may need a flexible educational environment because they are employed or fulfilling family obligations. An attendance day is 180 minutes. However, many continuation high school programs provide a wide spectrum of courses that exceed the minimum daily requirement. In addition to academic courses, the program emphasizes an occupational or a career orientation or a work-study schedule. Supplemental programs may include independent study, regional occupational programs, career counseling, and job placement and apprenticeship programs. In October 2005 there were 525 continuation high schools reporting an enrollment of 69,601. County Community Schools County community schools are operated by county offices of education to serve students who are expelled from their regular schools, who are referred by a School Attendance Review Board or at the request of the pupil’s parent or guardian, who are referred by probation (pursuant to sections 300, 601, 602, 654 of the Welfare and 110
Institutions Code), who are on probation or parole and are not in attendance in any school, or who are homeless. A minimum day program for county community schools is 240 minutes. Students are provided with learning opportunities in academic skills, independent life skills, positive self-concepts, and effective relationships with others. Although many students graduate from county community schools, the programs are designed to help students transition to an appropriate educational, training, or employment setting upon the completion of their attendance in the county community school. High-Risk Youth Education and Public Safety Program The High-Risk Youth Education and Public Safety Program provides after-school programming for students who have been incarcerated or are first-time offenders, The Transitioning High-Risk Youth Program serves youths who have had a commitment to a youth facility for six months or more and have served at least 90 days of incarceration. The First-Time Offender Program serves youths fifteen years of age or younger who have been placed on probation for their first offense. The use of the funds for <strong>this</strong> program is now at the discretion of the administration in each county office of education and school district that receives funds for the Pupil Retention Block Grant. Home and Hospital Instruction Home and Hospital Instruction helps students maintain continuity of instruction during a period of temporary disability. Any student with a temporary disability that makes attendance in the student’s regular classes or other education program impossible or inadvisable must receive individual instruction provided by the student’s school district. “Temporary disability” means a physical, mental, or emotional disability incurred while a student is enrolled, after which a student can reasonably be expected to return to regular day classes or an educational options program without special interventions. “Individual instruction” means instruction provided to a student in a hospital or other residential health facility, excluding instruction in state hospitals, in the student’s home, or under other circumstances prescribed by the State Board of Education. Independent Study Independent study was used by more than 107,650 full-time kindergarten through grade twelve students in 2005-06. It is an alternative instructional strategy that responds to individual student needs and learning styles. Students are required to follow the districtadopted curriculum, and work is governed by a written agreement signed by the student, teacher, parent, and relevant others. Independent study is a voluntary option authorized under California Education Code sections 51745—51749.3 and other sections, including 46300(e). Independent study is available to students from kindergarten through high school as well as to students in adult school who are taking courses to meet the requirements for 111
