Summary: The policy was updated to add that a budget be established for the purpose of student awards and that no fee or other cost be charged to any student in relation to any requirements in qualifying for or receiving any district achievement awards. Additionally, the policy was updated to separate out the State Seal of Biliteracy material from district-established awards for biliteracy and to clarify that the Governing Board may prohibit the district committee that administers the district's scholarship and loan fund from accepting any donation under conditions it finds incompatible with the fund's intents and purposes as specified in Board Policy 3290 - Gifts, Grants and Requests. Regulation updated to reflect NEW LAW (AB 370, 2023) which revises the criteria needed to be met for a student to be awarded the State Seal of Biliteracy and clarifies the eligibility requirements for an English learner to be eligible for the State Seal of Biliteracy.
