If the offense in question occurred outside this state, then the person may seek a finding of rehabilitation from the court having jurisdiction where he or she is resident. (g) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) shall certify in writing to the heritage school that neither the employer nor any of its employees who are required by this section to submit or have their fingerprints submitted to the Department of Justice and who may come in contact with pupils have been convicted of a felony as defined in Section 45122.1. (h) An entity having a contract as specified in subdivision (a) on the effective date of the act adding this section and an entity required to comply with this section pursuant to subdivision (d) by a heritage school with which it has a contract on the effective date of the act adding this section shall complete the requirements of this section within 90 days of that date.

General Provisions [35010 - 35012] ( Article 2 repealed and added by Stats. 1987, Ch. 1452, Sec. 182. ) ## 35012. (a) Except as otherwise provided, the governing board of a school district shall consist of five regular members elected at large by the qualified voters of the school district. The terms of the regular members shall, except as otherwise provided, be for four years and staggered so that as nearly as practicable one-half of the regular members shall be elected in each odd-numbered year.

The governing board of a school district may order the inclusion of more than one pupil member. (3) Upon receipt of a petition for pupil representation, the governing board of a school district shall, commencing July 1, 1976, and each year thereafter, order the inclusion within the membership of the governing board, in addition to the number of regular members otherwise prescribed, at least one pupil member. The governing board of a school district may order the inclusion of more than one pupil member. The governing board of a school district may appoint a pupil to serve as an alternate pupil member who would fulfill all duties and have the same rights as a pupil member if the governing board of a school district determines the pupil member is not fulfilling their duties.

The term of a pupil member shall be one year, commencing on July 1 of each year, except that the term of a pupil member may be adjusted only in cases where a vacancy occurs or to provide more pupils with an opportunity to serve on the governing board. (8) A pupil member shall be entitled to the mileage allowance to the same extent as regular members, and may receive compensation as specified in subdivision (f) of Section 35120. (9) (A) A pupil member shall be seated with the regular members of the governing board of the school district, and shall be recognized as a full member of the governing board at the meetings, including receiving all open meeting materials presented to the regular members at the same time the materials are presented to the regular members, being invited to staff briefings of regular members or being provided a separate staff briefing within the same timeframe as the staff briefing of regular members, being invited to attend other functions of the governing board of the school district, such as forums, meetings with pupils and parents, and other general assemblies, and participating in the questioning of witnesses and the discussion of issues. (B) A pupil member shall also receive all materials received by regular members between open meetings, except for materials that pertain to closed session items. (C) (i) The governing board of the school district may authorize the pupil member or members to make restorative justice recommendations that may be considered by the governing board of the school district in closed session expulsion hearings. If the governing board of the school district authorizes pupil recommendations in expulsion hearings, then notwithstanding subparagraph (B), the governing board of the school district shall disclose limited case information that pertains to closed session items to the pupil member or members to allow the pupil member or members to make those recommendations. (ii) Disclosure of case information to the pupil member or members pursuant to clause (i) shall be conditioned on the voluntary, written consent of the pupil who is subject to the expulsion hearing and the pupil’s parent or guardian, and shall be consistent with federal and state privacy laws, including, but not limited to, the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 2001 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 1232g) and any implementing federal regulations. (10) The pupil member shall not be included in determining the vote required to carry any measure before the governing board of the school district. (11) The pupil member shall not be liable for any acts of the governing board of the school district. (12) A majority vote of all voting regular members shall be required to approve a motion to eliminate the pupil member position from the governing board of a school district.
