The State of California maintains a searchable database of it's various legislative codes. I search of that database can be like the proverbial "needle in a haystack" because the search uses a very primitive code with no boolean conditional terms recognized. Consequently, it helps to know which section of the code you need to read in advance for a particular question. Check below for some select areas of the Ed. Code:

FAQs to Help Your Keyword Search at the State Legislative Code Search Engine.

  • Catastrophic Leave? see Ed. Code Sec. 44043.5.
  • For economically disadvantaged students requiring financial assistance & grants for college undergraduate school there's the CA State University Education Opportunity Act see Ed. Code Sec. 89250-89258.
  • Field trips? see Sec. 35330-35332
  • Audio recording devices for teachers in the classroom? See Sec. 44034 which permits such devices.
  • In-Class Video Films as supplimentary to instruction? See our V.C.U.S.D. Board policy.
