The project team and steering leadership will ask for a legal position concerning AB620 and minors from CCCCO. If steering in consultation with CCCCO legal decides to move forward, the AB620 questions will be shown to minors who will be 18 as of the RDD (day before start of term).
- For the Spring of 2015 application cohort, if no significant challenges have prevented further implementation with minors, the AB620 questions will be shown to minors who will be 18 as of the last day of term.
