Senior Executive Director
DATE: August 29, 2022
POLICY: This bulletin outlines the policies and guidelines for the District’s Independent Study (IS) Programs. This policy applies to all schools except when noted. IS is not permitted
at Community Day Schools (CDS), or Carlson Home and Hospital School.
MAJOR CHANGES: This replaces BUL-6779.4 - Guidelines for Independent Study Programs, dated August 1, 2022. This version reflects changes with the law made through Assembly Bill 181. Key changes include:
• Tiered Reengagement: Modifications to the thresholds that activate when a student
enrolled in a traditional independent study program is subject to Tiered Reengagement strategies (EC §51747[d]).
• Additional Guidance regarding pupils with IEPs (EC §51745 [c])
• Exemptions to Long-Term Independent Study Requirements: Adding students who are
receiving specified clinical treatments and who are enrolled in comprehensive schools, to the list of students exempt from live interaction, synchronous instruction, tiered reengagement, and a transition plan (EC § 51747[i]).
• Written Agreement Requirements: Changing the requirements of who must sign
agreements, to include
51749.6[b][1]).
This policy also reflects changes in implementation procedures. Beginning in the 2022- 2023 school year My Integrated Student Information System (MiSiS) will be the system of record for all IS programs except for Extraordinary Conditions, Specified
Medical/In-Patient Treatment and independent charter schools. All IS forms for Full- Time/Long-Term, Short-Term, and Part-Time at elementary, secondary, opportunity, and continuation schools must be initiated in MiSiS. Forms for Extraordinary Conditions must be completed using Attachment I, Master Agreement for IS,
Extraordinary Conditions and Attachment J, Record of Assignment Form,
Extraordinary Conditions. For Short-Term IS at elementary, secondary and opportunity schools, the student’s schedule will no longer need to be changed. Step by step

GUIDELINES: I. BACKGROUND
IS is a voluntary alternative instructional program by which pupils may access District curriculum objectives, master state standards, and fulfill graduation requirements outside of the traditional classroom setting. The teacher determines the time value of completed assignments (number of attendance days). IS is individualized instruction based on a Master Agreement between the pupil, teacher, and Parent and other person(s) if applicable.
On September 14, 2021, the District Board of Education ratified a delegation of its
authority to approve the District’s IS policy and procedures to the District’s Superintendent of Schools/designee to remain in force until the delegation is rescinded.
II. OVERVIEW The primary purpose of IS is to provide an alternative program to meet the academic needs of pupils outside of the traditional classroom setting. Schools shall not use IS as an alternative program for pupils displaying behavioral challenges. Pupils participating
in IS must meet the District’s requirements and be likely to succeed in IS as well as or better than in the regular classroom setting.
IS is a voluntary instructional program and a choice made by the pupil, Parent, the
teacher(s) and other certificated school staff. No pupil or staff member shall be required to participate in IS. All pupils must have the option of a full program in a traditional classroom setting at the time IS is made available and should the pupil decide to transfer from IS at any time, the option of a traditional classroom setting must be
Educational opportunities offered through IS may include, but shall not be limited to, the following:
• Special assignments extending the content of regular courses of instruction.
• Individualized study in a particular area of interest or in a subject not currently
available in the regular school curriculum.
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL D
POLICY BULLETIN
BUL-6779.5 Division of Instruction Page 3 of 27 August 29, 2022
• Individualized alternative education designed to teach the knowledge and skills of the core curriculum. IS shall not be provided as an alternative
curriculum. Note: Individualized Education Plan (IEP) teams may determine
that IS is appropriate for a pupil on the alternate curriculum if the pupil is able to make satisfactory educational progress in IS.
• Continuing and special study during travel.
• Volunteer community service activities and leadership opportunities that support and strengthen pupil achievement.
• Individualized study for a pupil whose health would be put at risk by in- person instruction, as determined by the Parent of the pupil, or a pupil who is
unable to attend in-person instruction due to a quarantine due to exposure to, or infection with, COVID-19, pursuant to local or state public health guidance. IS courses shall be consistent with the California State Frameworks and Standards. IS content shall be aligned to grade level standards and provided at a level of quality and intellectual challenge substantially equivalent to in-person
instruction. For high schools, this shall include access to all courses offered by the Local Educational Agency for graduation and approved by the University of California or the California State University as creditable under the a-g admissions criteria. No course included among the courses required for high
school graduation shall be offered exclusively through IS.
A. Key Definitions
The following definitions apply to this policy:
1. Independent Study (IS): An alternative to classroom instruction consistent with a school district’s course of study and is not an alternative curriculum. Participation is voluntary. 2. Written Agreement: The Master Agreement (MA), (Attachment A
Elementary School Master Agreement for IS, Attachment C, Secondary Schools Master Agreement for IS, or Attachment I, Master Agreement for IS, Extraordinary Conditions) and subsidiary agreements, including the Record of Assignment (ROA) (Attachment B, Elementary School Record of Assignment, Attachment D, Secondary Schools Short-Term or Part-
Time Record of Assignment (ROA), or Record of Assignment Form,
Extraordinary Conditions) for the individual pupil participating in IS.
3. Live Interaction: Interaction between the pupil and Local Educational Agency classified or certificated staff, and may include peers, provided for the purpose of maintaining school connectedness, including, but not
limited to, wellness checks, progress monitoring, provision of services, and instruction. This interaction may take place in person, or in the form of internet or telephonic communication. 4.

Procedures for all Independent Study Programs, teacher evaluation of work, and attendance accounting. This administrator oversees and implements a comprehensive system to carry out and ensure compliance with IS policies and procedures on behalf of the District.
9. Independent Study Supervising Designee: This designee follows the
General Procedures for all Independent Study Programs, provides general supervision, instruction, evaluates the submitted work, coordinates the IS processes by completing the Master Agreement and ROA in MiSiS, and Attendance for All Independent Study Programs.
• For IS schools and Short-Term IS at comprehensive elementary schools, the pupil’s scheduled teacher is designated as the IS Supervising Designee.
• For Short-Term and Part-Time IS (two classes) at comprehensive
secondary, opportunity and continuation schools, one of the scheduled teachers is assigned as the IS Supervising Designee. 10. IS Teacher: A credentialed teacher provides general supervision, instruction, evaluates the pupil’s work, and implements the Master
Agreement aligned to District policies and procedures. For Short-Term
and Part-Time IS at comprehensive secondary schools, if the pupil is

POLICY BULLETIN
BUL-6779.5 Division of Instruction Page 5 of 27 August 29, 2022
scheduled for IS with more than one teacher, each teacher is responsible for completing the approved ROA in MiSiS, providing instruction, and evaluating the submitted work.
11. IS Schools: Long-Term/Full-Time Schools providing IS. City of Angels
and Virtual Academies are the only Long-Term/Full-Time IS schools. B. National College Athletic Association (NCAA) Requirements
NCAA guidelines regarding nontraditional coursework (defined as online, or
through distance learning, hybrid/blended, IS, individualized instruction, correspondence or similar means) requires that all of the following criteria be met in order for a course to be used for NCAA initial-eligibility purposes. 1. Courses must meet all requirements for an NCAA-approved core course, which are only classes in English, math (Algebra 1 or higher), natural or
physical science, social science, foreign language, comparative religion or philosophy may be approved as NCAA core courses. Remedial classes and classes completed through credit-by-exam are not considered NCAA core courses.
2. There must be a regular instructor-led interaction for all students in the course. The instructor and the pupil must have ongoing access to, and regular interaction with one another for purposes of instruction, evaluation, and providing assistance to the pupil throughout the duration of the course. The pupil’s work (e.g., exams, essays, assignments) must be available for evaluation and validation.
3. Evaluation of the pupil’s work is conducted by the appropriate academic
authorities in accordance with the high school’s established academic policies. 4. The course includes a defined time period for completion as stipulated in the Master Agreement. 5. The course is identified as nontraditional on the official high school
transcript. The District shall ensure that courses taught in IS schools meet NCAA requirements. To maintain approval, teachers must meet with pupils for a minimum of one hour per week.
C. Equity of Pupil Services No funds or other item of value shall be provided to the pupil or pupil’s Parent that the District does not provide to pupils who attend regular classes. Providing access to connectivity and Local Educational Agency-owned devices adequate to participate in an IS program and complete assigned work,
or to participate in an IS course, shall not be considered funds or other items of value. All pupils enrolled in IS shall receive appropriate existing services and
resources to enable them to complete their IS courses successfully. School
administrators shall ensure the same access to all existing services and
resources as available to other pupils in the school of enrollment.

III. SUPPORTING DIVERSE PUPIL POPULATIONS The following provides information/guidelines for supporting pupils with IEPs,
pupils with 504 plans, English learners, and pupils in entertainment and allied industries seeking enrollment in an IS program. A. English Learner All English Learners (ELs) need to be provided a comprehensive ELD program,
comprised of Designated ELD (dELD) and Integrated ELD (iELD). During this instructional time, ELs develop listening, speaking, reading, and writing skills in English. According to the California ELA/ELD Framework, dELD and iELD are defined as follows: 1. Integrated ELD (iELD): Instruction provided to ELs throughout the
schoolday and across all subjects by all teachers of ELs. The CA ELD
Standards are used in tandem with the content standards to ensure pupils strengthen their abilities to use English as they simultaneously learn content through English. 2. Designated ELD (dELD): Instruction provided by teachers during a
protected time in the school day. Teachers use the CA ELD Standards as the focal standards that build into and from content instruction to develop the critical language ELs need for content learning in English. Elementary ELs must receive a daily designated time for Designated ELD and
Secondary ELs must have an appropriate ELD/Long-Term EL course in their
schedule. Moreover, the Parent must receive meaningful communication in a language they can understand about the available instructional programs and services, including the right to decline or opt their children out of a school’s EL
program or out of particular EL services within an EL program. B. Pupils with IEPs An individual with exceptional needs, as defined in Section 56026, may participate in independent study, if the pupil’s individualized education
program specifically provides for that participation. If a Parent of an
individual with exceptional needs requests independent study, the pupil’s individualized education program team shall make an individualized determination as to whether the pupil can receive a free appropriate public education in an independent study placement. An IEP team meeting is
required to determine if placement in IS is appropriate as a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE). As part of the IEP meeting, IEP teams including all relevant related services providers will determine accommodations and how related services may be provided to pupils. A pupil’s inability to work independently, the pupil’s need for adult support, or the pupil’s need for
special education or related services shall not preclude the individualized
education program team from determining that the pupil can receive a free appropriate education in an independent study placement. A pupil with an IEP
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL D
POLICY BULLETIN
BUL-6779.5 Division of Instruction Page 7 of 27 August 29, 2022
may not be enrolled in IS unless the IEP specifically provides for such enrollment, even for a Short-Term or limited time frame or for Part-Time IS. The information regarding the placement, accommodations, and services in IS
must be entered in the IEP FAPE 1 and 2 Part 4.
The Education Code provides pupils with IEPs the right to return to in-person learning from IS in no less than 5 instructional days. The District school of attendance will schedule an IEP team meeting within 30 days, not including
school breaks of more than 5 days. For more information on pupils with IEPs and IS, see BUL-5412.3, Procedures for Students with DisabilitiesParticipating in Independent Study School, dated August 2, 2021 and REF-125902, Guidance Regarding Students
with Disabilities and Virtual Academy Online Independent Study Programs,
dated May, 9, 2022. C. Pupils with Section 504 Plans If the pupil has a Section 504 Plan, the plan should be updated in a meeting to
reflect any changes in accommodations as a result of the IS placement. Information about Section 504 plans can be found at the Educational Equity Compliance Office website: https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/3581. Refer to BUL-4692.8, Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, issued February 8, 2021.
D. Temporarily Disabled Pupil
A temporarily disabled pupil may receive individual instruction through IS instead of instruction through Carlson Home and Hospital school, if the pupil’s Parent or if the pupil is over 18 years of age and the District agrees. If
a pupil’s disability initially appears temporary, but later appears to be ongoing, consider whether referrals for evaluation for special education or under section 504 are warranted.
E. Pupils in Entertainment and Allied Industries
For more information regarding pupils in the entertainment and allied
industries, see BUL-6837.1, Pupils in the Entertainment and Allied Industries, dated November 21, 2017.
IV. CREDENTIALING
IS for each pupil shall be under the general supervision of a District employee who possesses a valid certification document pursuant to EC section 44865 or an emergency credential pursuant to EC section 44300. Pupils’ IS shall be coordinated, evaluated, and documented, as prescribed by law.
The California Commission on Teacher Credentialing and the federal Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) require that pupils be taught by a teacher who has
met licensure requirements for the grade level and subject area to which the
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL D
POLICY BULLETIN
BUL-6779.5 Division of Instruction Page 8 of 27 August 29, 2022
teacher has been assigned, including an appropriate English Learner (EL) Authorization. In the case of special education, the teacher must hold the appropriate authorization for the special education eligibility area of each pupil. In
the case of Career Technical Education (CTE), the teacher must hold the
appropriate authorization for the specific CTE Industry Sector. A multiple subject or single subject general education credentialed teacher who holds a valid teaching credential obtained via B.A. degree and teacher preparation program that included student teaching, may qualify for credential flexibility via EC section
44865 (Teacher Consent Form for Alternative Settings, which requires teacher and principal consent and can be accessed at https://achieve.lausd.net/Page/1542). Please note that permits and intern documents do not qualify a teacher for EC section 44865.
EC section 44865 does not apply to Special Education, English Language
Development, or Career Technical Education courses. In addition, for schools that are designated Title I sites, ESSA requires that the Parent of any child who is taught by an inappropriately authorized teacher or a substitute teacher for 20 consecutive days must receive a Parent Notification Letter (see ESSA reference
guide available at REF-097901.1, Every Student Succeeds Act).
A. The responsibilities of the IS Supervising Designee shall include, but are not limited to: 1. Completing the Master Agreement and signing it. 2. Completing the subsidiary agreements, Record of Assignments (ROA) and supervising and approving coursework and assignments. 3. Maintaining records of pupil assignments showing the date the assignment is given and the date the assignment is due.
4. At Continuation Schools maintaining a daily or hourly attendance register in accordance with section XVID 4, Additional Record-Keeping Requirements for the District 5. Providing direct instruction and counsel as necessary for individual pupil
success.
6. At IS Schools, regular meetings with the pupil to discuss the pupil's progress and documenting it in the MiSiS Contact Log. 7. Determining the time value of assigned work or work products completed and submitted by the pupil. 8. Assessing pupil work and assigning grades or other approved measures of
achievement. 9. At IS Schools, documenting each pupil’s participation in live interaction and synchronous instruction, as applicable, pursuant to EC 51747 on each school day for which IS is provided.
B. At the secondary grade levels, for purposes of “other persons responsible” and is required by federal and state law, the course section teacher, holding a valid
subject matter teaching authorization and EL authorization, generally provides
the curriculum and assignments to be completed by the pupil. Each IS Teacher
will evaluate the pupil’s completed work assignments and products for

determination of academic credit earned.
V. COMMITMENTS NECESSARY FOR SUCCESSFUL INDEPENDENT STUDY IS requires the commitment of the pupil and family to ensure academic success. Pupils are expected to work independently, complete assignments in a timely
manner with the support of Parent monitoring. Parents of elementary pupils
requesting IS must make a commitment to properly assist the teacher to meet all the requirements of IS. At the secondary level, the pupil must make a major commitment, assisted, or supported as necessary by Parent and others who may assist directly with
instruction. For more information, schools can refer Parents to the online learning
website at: https://achieve.lausd.net/onlinelearning.
VI. RESIDENCY REQUIREMENT

F. GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR INDEPENDENT STUDY PLACEMENT
(ALL INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAMS)
1. The general placement requirements for all types of IS available within the District are as follows: a. A written Master Agreement is required for all pupils placed in IS. The
Master Agreement for IS serves as authorization to substitute the pupil's work product for the pupil's presence in a classroom. The Master Agreement shall be signed, dated by all required parties, and in effect prior to the start of IS. NOTE: The Master Agreement includes ROA subsidiary
agreements.
Prior to the signing of the Master Agreement, the certificated employee
representing the District ensure that the Parent and pupil understand the conditions of the Master Agreement for IS. Parent’s failure to sign the Master Agreement will result in the student being referred to the student’s in-person school.
b. Only District-approved Master Agreement and ROA subsidiary agreements for IS are attached in this bulletin and are in MiSiS (Attachments: Elementary A and B; Secondary C, D, or E; Extraordinary Conditions I and J; Specified Medical/In-Patient
Treatment M and N). Failure to use the most current District approved
Master Agreement and ROA subsidiary agreements may result in the
disallowance of attendance for apportionment purposes. c. The Master Agreement for IS must be for a period of no less than three consecutive instructional days and no more than a school year for elementary pupils and no more than a semester for secondary pupils. An
additional semester for a secondary pupil could be added with another Master Agreement. Comprehensive elementary, continuation, and opportunity schools may offer Short-Term IS only.
The Master Agreement includes general pupil data, including the pupil's
name, address, grade level, birth date, school of enrollment, and program
placement. The IS agreement for each participating pupil shall also

including materials and personnel, and access to internet connectivity and devices adequate to participate in the educational program and complete assigned work. • A statement of the Board's policy detailing the maximum length of
time allowed between an assignment and its completion, the level of
satisfactory educational progress, and the number of missed assignments that will trigger an evaluation of whether the pupil should be allowed to continue in IS. • The duration of the IS agreement, including the beginning and ending dates for the pupil's participation in IS under the agreement.
• A statement of the number of course credits or, for the elementary grades, other measures of academic accomplishment appropriate to the agreement, to be earned by the pupil upon completion. • A statement detailing the academic and other supports that will be

assigned.
e. The Master Agreement and subsidiary agreements (or written agreements) may be signed using an electronic signature that complies with state and federal standards, as determined by the Department of Education, that may be a marking that is either computer generated or produced by electronic
means and is intended by the signatory to have the same effect as a handwritten signature. The use of an electronic signature shall have the same force and effect as the use of a manual signature if the requirements for digital signatures and their acceptable technology, as provided in EC Section 16.5 of the Government Code and in Chapter 10 (commencing

LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL D
POLICY BULLETIN
BUL-6779.5 Division of Instruction Page 18 of 27 August 29, 2022
in MiSiS, scheduling, teacher ROA evaluation of work and attendance accounting. b. If a pupil requests IS longer than 14 days per school year, Short-Term IS is only available up to the 14th day. The Short-Term IS Master Agreement
must accurately reflect the start and end dates. 3. School of Attendance - Part-Time at Secondary, Opportunity and Continuation Schools a. An IS Administrator must ensure that each pupil is enrolled and scheduled into classes immediately and no later than the day the pupil begins the
program and ensure the required General Procedures for all Independent
Study Programs are followed. An IS Supervising Designee shall coordinate the processes required for IS, including Master Agreement (Attachment C) and Record of Assignment (ROA) form (Attachment D and G),
scheduling, and teacher evaluation of work.
b. When a pupil cannot take one or two classes due to scheduling constraints
and it is decided that the course will be offered through IS, the pupil’s schedule must be updated accordingly. This course must be scheduled at the pupil’s school of enrollment.
At Continuation Schools, when a pupil is enrolled in the regular or work experience program and needs to take one or two classes at their school of enrollment as IS, the IS sections are scheduled to exclude attendance. Refer to General Procedures for all Independent Study Programs for
instructions on scheduling and attendance procedures.
H. GENERAL PROCEDURES FOR ATTENDANCE ACCOUNTING (ALL INDEPENDENT STUDY PROGRAMS) 1. The general attendance requirements for all types of IS available within the District are as follows: a. IS attendance is based on pupil work product rather than presence in class. When the pupil submits or demonstrates evidence of completed assigned work by the due date established in the Record of Assignment form
(subsidiary agreement to the Master Agreement) and the work has been
evaluated, the teacher determines the time value of completed assignments (number of attendance days). IS pupils who are late for or miss scheduled conferences, or who do not
submit assigned work on time should not be reported as tardy or truant. There are no unexcused absences in IS. Only the following attendance codes are allowed:
IS Schools:
• P (Present): Attendance credit earned for time value of work equivalent to at least a minimum schoolday. Synchronous instructional time for which evidence of pupil participation is furnished and maintained may be
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL D
POLICY BULLETIN
BUL-6779.5 Division of Instruction Page 19 of 27 August 29, 2022
combined with the daily time value of pupil work products personally
judged by the IS supervising teacher to determine attendance credit for each day (EC section 51747.5).
• A (Absent): IS assignment submission or evaluation pending, incomplete assignments, or did not complete enough assignments equivalent to a minimum schoolday
Comprehensive Elementary, Secondary, Opportunity Schools:
• IC (IS Complete): Attendance credit earned for time value of work equivalent to at least a minimum schoolday
• IN (IS Not Complete/Absent): IS assignment submission or evaluation
pending, incomplete assignments, or did not complete enough assignments equivalent to a minimum schoolday
b. Pupil may not earn attendance credit prior to signing a Master Agreement.
The start date for pupil work cannot be earlier than the effective date of
the Master Agreement which is the last date signed on the Master
Agreement. c. Attendance credit may not be earned for work submitted after the due date. Such work only qualifies for academic credit. d. A pupil who turns in completed assignments representing more attendance
days in a reporting period than the number of schooldays in that reporting period does not earn any surplus or bankable attendance credit usable in the future or applicable against past absences, (i.e., attendance credit is limited to the number of instructional days for the period work is
assigned).
e. Attendance for pupils enrolled in regular or special education TK-12
classes is accounted for in whole days. Pupils should be assigned full day's schedule of work. No attendance credit may be claimed for an IS pupil unless the pupil has completed an amount of work for that day that is sufficient, in the teacher’s judgment, to constitute at least completing
work equivalent to a full day. No attendance credit is allowable for fractions of a day. Any fraction of a minimum day must be dropped for apportionment purposes when the teacher determines the total time value. Synchronous instructional time for which evidence of pupil participation
is furnished and maintained may be combined with the daily time value of
pupil work products personally judged by the IS supervising teacher to
determine attendance credit for each day (EC section 51747.5). f. A pupil placed in IS shall not be credited with more than one day of attendance per calendar day. g. Long-Term/Full-Time Tiered Reengagement Strategies (Pupils in IS for
15 or More Schooldays in a Year): For pupils enrolled in an IS School, tiered reengagement strategies are required in IS for 15 or more schooldays in a year for all pupils who are not generating attendance for more 10 percent of required minimum instructional time over four
continuous weeks of the District’s approved instructional calendar, found
LOS ANGELES UNIFIED SCHOOL D
POLICY BULLETIN
BUL-6779.5 Division of Instruction Page 20 of 27 August 29, 2022
not participatory in synchronous instructional offerings for more than 50 percent of the scheduled times of synchronous instruction in a school month as applicable by grade span, or who are in violation of the written
agreement, tiered reengagement strategies must be implemented. Refer to
Attachment K, Pupil Services and Attendance: Tiered Attendance Intervention Strategies for Independent Study. These strategies include, but are not limited to, the following: • Verify current contact information of the pupil.
• Notify the Parent of lack of participation within one schoolday of the absence (non-attendance day) or lack of participation. • A plan for outreach from the school to determine the pupil’s needs, including connection with health and social services as necessary. • Remind the Parent that if the pupil fails to meet satisfactory
educational progress in one or more courses, the Parent, pupil, and
teacher must have a conference to review the pupil’s written agreement and reconsider the IS program’s impact on the pupil’s achievement and well-being. Pupils at risk of not making satisfactory educational progress include pupils who fail to complete three
consecutive assignments (for each subject of study when applicable) during any period of 15 days or miss two synchronous sessions without a valid reason. • Tiered reengagement strategies shall be documented in MiSiS. • For more information about tiered reengagement strategies, see
Attachment K and/or visit the Pupil Services website.
h. For Continuation Schools: Attendance for pupils enrolled in continuation schools are accounted for in whole hours, with a day’s worth of work credited for a maximum of three hours or 180 instructional minutes per week. Synchronous instructional time for which evidence of pupil
participation is furnished and maintained may be combined with the daily time value of pupil work products personally judged by the IS supervising teacher to determine attendance credit for each day (EC section 51747.5). i. For Apportionment Credit for Continuation High School or Opportunity
Schools: The maximum number of pupils eligible for IS apportionment
credit at any specific continuation high school, or opportunity school, is limited to 10 percent of the pupils enrolled in the school. j. For Affiliated Charter Schools: In addition to the above general requirements, the State also requires that charter school pupils must do the
work assigned on the scheduled school day for which it is claimed as attendance (Attachment L, Affiliated Charter Schools Pupil Contemporaneous Daily Educational Activity Record).
