must establish procedures to receive, review, and assess student records
for the initial course and educational program placement for a student
who is homeless or in substitute care upon enrollment at a new school.
(b) School districts and open-enrollment charter schools
must ensure that a student who is homeless or in substitute care has
the opportunity to pursue the same endorsement categories, to the
extent possible. If only one endorsement is offered, it must be multidisciplinary
studies.

charter schools shall ensure the continuation of a student's course
and educational programs, if appropriate, from the previous district
or charter school by placing the student in comparable courses and
programs for which they are eligible.
(d) School districts and open-enrollment charter schools
shall promote placement in academically challenging and career preparation
