California Code of Regulations Title 5 - Education
California Code of Regulations (CCR) – Title 5: Education
Title 5 of the California Code of Regulations deals with education. It is the main set of rules and regulations that govern public education in California, from preschool through postsecondary education. It is separate from the California Education Code (which is statutory law) and instead provides detailed regulations to implement those laws.
Key Areas Covered in Title 5:

How It Works
