Existing law also authorizes the governing board of any school district maintaining high schools in the county, with the consent of the state board and the county superintendent of schools, to cooperate in the establishment and maintenance of a regional occupational center or program, except as specified. For purposes of funding apportionments, existing law specifies the computation for determining units of average daily attendance in the regional occupational centers or regional occupational programs of a county for a fiscal year.
