BILL NUMBER: AB 1840INTRODUCED BILL TEXT INTRODUCED BY Assembly Member Alejo (Principal coauthor: Senator Cannella) FEBRUARY 22, 2012 An act to add Section 52055.741 to the Education Code, relating to education funding. LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST AB 1840, as introduced, Alejo. Quality Education Investment Act of 2006: class size requirements: King City Union School District. Existing law, the Quality Education Investment Act of 2006, authorizes school districts and other local educational agencies to apply to the Superintendent of Public Instruction to receive funding to allocate to elementary and secondary schools and charter schools that are ranked in either decile 1 or 2 on the 2005 Academic Performance Index for use in performing various specified measures to improve academic instruction and pupil academic achievement. The act imposes certain program requirements on each funded school, including class size requirements, as specified. This bill would deem the King City Union School District to have met those class size requirements for the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years. This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the King City Union School District. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: no. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. Section 52055.741 is added to the Education Code, to read: 52055.741. For the 2009-10 and 2010-11 fiscal years, the King City Union School District is deemed to have met the requirements for class size set forth in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 52055.740. SEC. 2. The Legislature finds and declares that a special law is necessary and that a general law cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique circumstances faced by the King City Union School District, including the separation in the administrative relationship with the South Monterey County High School District and the enhanced impact of the decrease in Quality Education Investment Act of 2006 (Article 3.7 (commencing with Section 52055.700) of Chapter 6.1 of Part 28 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Education Code) funds due to the high percentage of the King City Union School District's schools and pupils covered by the act.
