Bill	Pupils: extracurricular activities: work permits.	(1) Existing law requires the governing board of a school district that maintains one or more schools containing any of grades 7 to 12, inclusive, to establish a policy regarding participation in extracurricular and cocurricular activities by pupils in those grades as a condition for the receipt of specified school funding allocations. Existing law requires the policy to condition pupil participation in extracurricular and cocurricular activities upon satisfactory educational progress in the previous grading period. Existing law authorizes the governing board of each school district to adopt, as part of the policy, provisions that would allow a pupil who does not achieve satisfactory educational progress in the previous grading period to remain eligible to participate in extracurricular and cocurricular activities during a probationary period that does not exceed one semester in length. Existing law prohibits a pupil who does not achieve satisfactory educational progress during the probationary period from participating in extracurricular and cocurricular activities in the subsequent grading period.	us/states/ca	California Legislature	20192020	AB 908	California AB 908 (20192020)	bill	Pupils: extracurricular activities: work permits.	enacted	O'Donnell	10	28	6	2019-02-20	2020-09-11	openstates	ocd-bill/34f569e5-66f6-4e5b-955f-3e8ddaa08ef2	http://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=201920200AB908	562aae11cc9ffbfd435522e2ed12b94ec5dc6614e67a40ae4bb8f30928ac40be	2026-07-01	https://data.openstates.org/daily/2026-07-01/public.pgdump	2026-07-06	reported	legislation bill us-ca
