The governing board of each school district maintaining a high school shall annually review and assess the participation of pupils in grades 11 and 12 in regional occupational centers and programs. The governing board shall prepare an annual plan to increase the participation of these pupils unless it determines that there are no additional pupils enrolled in the district who would benefit from this participation.
The governing board shall conduct public hearings for purposes of reviewing the participation of these pupils and for the adoption of the plan required under this section.
