Section 6035 - Conditional Admission
(a) Any pupil seeking admission to a school or pre-kindergarten facility who lacks documentation of having received all the required vaccine doses for the pupil's age or grade as specified in Table A or B of section 6025, and has not obtained an exemption in accordance with section 6051 and Health and Safety Code sections 120335 and 120370, may be admitted conditionally if:
(1) The pupil has commenced receiving doses of all vaccines required for the pupil's age or grade in accordance with Table C or D of this section and is not currently due for any doses at the time of admission. The governing authority shall notify the pupil's parent or guardian of the date(s) by which the pupil must complete all remaining doses in accordance with Table C or D of this section; or
(2) The pupil is younger than 18 months and has received all immunizations required for the pupil's age but will require additional vaccine doses at an older age. The governing authority shall notify the pupil's parent or guardian of the date by which the pupil must complete all the remaining doses as they become due in accordance with Table A of section 6025; or
(3) The pupil's parent or guardian has obtained a temporary medical exemption from some or all required immunization(s) in accordance with section 6050. The governing authority shall notify the pupil's parent or guardian of the date by which the parent or guardian must provide documentation of receipt of the immunization(s) included in the temporary medical exemption.
(b) The governing authority shall review records of any pupil admitted conditionally to a school at least every 30 days from the date of admission, inform the parent or guardian of the remaining required vaccine doses until all required immunizations are received or an exemption is filed, and update the immunization information in the pupil's record.
(c) Continued attendance after conditional admission is contingent upon documentation of receipt of the remaining required immunizations in accordance with this section and sections 6025 and 6065.
(d)
(1) For a pupil transferring into a school in California from another school in the United States at kindergarten through 12th grade whose immunization record, as specified in section 6065 or 6070, has not been received by the new school at the time of admission, the governing authority of the school may admit the pupil for up to 30 school days. If the governing authority admits the pupil for up to 30 school days and the pupil's immunization record has not been received at the end of this period, the governing authority shall exclude the pupil from further attendance until the parent or guardian provides documentation of compliance with the immunization requirements specified in this section and sections 6025 and 6040(a). Documentation of compliance from the parent or guardian must be provided as specified in sections 6050, 6051, and 6065, as applicable.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of this subdivision, a pupil transferring into a school in California from another school in the United States on the first day of seventh grade, who has not provided documentation that the pertussis requirement has been met to the new school by the time of admission, shall not be admitted by the governing authority.
