Key Definitions Live interaction means interaction between the pupil and local educational agency classified or certificated staff, and may include peers, provided for the purpose of maintaining school connectedness, including, but not limited to, wellness checks, progress monitoring, provision of services, and instruction. This interaction may take place in person, or in the form of internet or telephonic communication.

Synchronous instruction shall be provided by the teacher of record for that pupil.

AB 104 Summary Section 1 requires an LEA, upon receiving a written request from the parent of an eligible pupil to retain the pupil for the 2021-22 school year, to offer the parent a consultation with the parent, the pupil, the administrator, and a teacher. This consultation shall occur within 30 calendar days of receiving the written request for a consultation, and the LEA is required to notify the parent with the final determination of the LEA s decision within 10 calendar days of the consultation. An eligible pupil is a student in grades K through 11 who, during the 20-21 school year, received deficient grades (a D, F, No Pass, or as otherwise defined by the school agency) in at least half of their courses. Section 2 authorizes a parent or student in high school to request a grade on a transcript to be changed to Pass or No Pass Section 3 requires LEAs to exempt all juniors and seniors in 2020-21 from local HS graduation requirements if they were not on track to graduate in 4 years, and to give those students the opportunity for credit recovery or a 5thyear to complete state graduation requirements 8
