§ 55251. District Responsibilities.
Currentness

(3) how the district will:
(A) provide guidance services for students during enrollment in work experience education;
(B) assign sufficient instructional or other personnel to direct the program and provide other required district services;
(C) assess student progress in work experience education through written, measurable learning objectives and outcomes;

(G) ensure adequate clerical and instructional services are available to facilitate the program; and
(H) ensure equitable access to work experience opportunities for underrepresented and socioeconomically disadvantaged students.
(b) Districts shall identify appropriate public or private employers to partner with in providing work experience education opportunities to students.

Any appropriate fund source may be used for such subsidies, which shall be calculated not to exceed a reasonable estimate of the net costs of providing the work experience education opportunity, and shall not be used to inflate an employer's usual compensation rate for work experience employees. Districts may provide workers' compensation insurance for students employed in unpaid work experience education.
(d) District governing boards may authorize work experience education programs and opportunities outside district boundaries.
(e) Districts shall provide sufficient administrative support, including classified and instructional personnel, for initiating and maintaining relationships with work experience employers, coordinating programs, and supervising students.
