Senate Bill 1494 amends the Education Code to extend to students who are homeless certain education-related assistance that is currently offered to students who are in substitute care. The bill also requires a school district from which an 11th or 12th grade student who is homeless transfers, if the student meets the graduation requirements of that district but is ineligible to graduate from the district to which the student transfers, to award a diploma at the student's request.
