LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 477, as amended, Wright.  Inglewood Unified School District: emergency loan.   School district   reorganization: bonded indebtedness: Wiseburn Unified School District: Centinela Valley Union High School District.   (1) Existing law specifies the manner in which bonded indebtedness of a school district on general obligation bonds is reallocated among school districts when school districts are reorganized.   This bill, notwithstanding the provisions above, would specify the manner in which the liability for taxation, the bonding capacity, the permitted use of existing bond proceeds, and the allocation of authorized but unsold bonds of the Wiseburn Unified School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District would be determined upon the reorganization of the Wiseburn School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District by the formation of the Wiseburn Unified School District and the termination of the Wiseburn School District. The bill also would authorize a joint powers authority created by the Wiseburn School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District or the Wiseburn Unified School District and the Centinela Valley Union High School District to issue bonds pursuant to laws governing the issuance of school facilities construction bonds by school districts. To the extent that these actions would cause local taxing authorities to perform additional duties, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.   (2) Existing law requires plans and recommendations for the reorganization of school districts to include a computation of the base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance.   This bill would set the base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance for the Wiseburn Unified School District at $6,600.26 as increased by the statutory cost-of-living adjustment for each subsequent fiscal year.   (3) Existing law sets forth the procedures for the reorganization of school districts.   This bill would provide that no further action by various local authorities, including the governing board of the Wiseburn School District or the governing board or voters of the Centinela Valley Union High School District, is necessary to approve the reorganization plan for the Wiseburn Unified School District and allow the Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools to call an election, except for the approval by the State Board of Education of the reorganization plans.   The bill would authorize a pupil residing in the Wiseburn Unified School District who is eligible to attend any of grades 9 to 12, inclusive, to attend the Centinela Valley Union High School District without an interdistrict attendance agreement if the Centinela Valley Union High School District accepts that pupil for attendance.   (4) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Centinela Valley Union High School District and the Wiseburn School District.   (5) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.   This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.   (1) Existing law provides for emergency apportionments to school districts subject to specified conditions including, in certain circumstances, the repayment of an emergency loan over a period of no more than 10 years and the appointment by the Superintendent of Public Instruction of an administrator who would exercise the powers and responsibilities of the governing board of the school district.   This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to provide emergency apportionment assistance to the Inglewood Unified School District, and require the Superintendent to assume all the rights, duties, and powers of the governing board of the Inglewood Unified School District and to appoint, in consultation with the Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools, a state administrator to act on behalf of the Superintendent in exercising the Superintendent's authority over the school district.   The bill would continue the authority of the Superintendent and the state administrator over the school district until certain enumerated conditions are met, including the completion of assessment and improvement plans for the school district.   The bill would require the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team (FCMAT) to provide specified assistance relating to the development of a multiyear financial recovery plan, the preparation of budget reports, and the recommendation of activities that could enhance revenue or achieve cost savings.   The bill would require the school district to bear 100% of the costs associated with implementing the provisions of the bill relating to the administration of the emergency apportionment assistance and the activities of the FCMAT, thereby imposing a state-mandated local program.   The bill would appropriate $12,900,000 from the General Fund to the Superintendent for apportionment as an emergency loan to the Inglewood Unified School District, and would specify procedures for repayment of the loan. The bill would authorize the school district to sell property owned by the school district from June 1, 2011, to June 30, 2014, inclusive, and use the proceeds from the sale to reduce or retire the emergency loan, and would prohibit the school district from being eligible for financial hardship assistance under the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of 1998 from June 1, 2011, to June 30, 2016, inclusive.   (2) This bill would make a legislative finding and declaration that the unique circumstances of the Inglewood Unified School District warrant the enactment of a special statute.   (3) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.   This bill would provide that no reimbursement is required by this act for a specified reason.   (4) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.  Vote:  2/3  majority  . Appropriation:  yes   no  . Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

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 nature of the reorganization of school districts involving the Centinela Valley Union High School District, the Wiseburn School District, and equitable access to the commercial and industrial assessed valuation of property in those school districts.   SEC. 3.   If the Commission on State Mandates determines that this act contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement to local agencies and school districts for those costs shall be made pursuant to Part 7 (commencing with Section 17500) of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code.   SECTION 1.   It is the intent of the Legislature to provide emergency appropriation assistance to the Inglewood Unified School District, and invoke the provisions of Article 2 (commencing with Section 41320) of, and Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 41325) of, Chapter 3 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Education Code, except as otherwise provided in this act, in order to restore the school district to fiscal solvency.   SEC. 2.   As provided in subdivision (b) of Section 41326 of the Education Code, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall assume all legal rights, duties, and powers of the governing board of the Inglewood Unified School District, and shall appoint a state administrator, in consultation with the county superintendent of schools, to act on his or her behalf in carrying out the requirements of Article 2 (commencing with Section 41320) of, and Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 41325) of, Chapter 3 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Education Code.

The FCMAT's assistance under this section shall continue until the school district is certified as positive pursuant to the definition in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 42131 of the Education Code, or until all legal rights, duties, and powers are returned to the governing board of the school district, whichever comes first.   SEC. 5.   For the purposes of Article 2 (commencing with Section 41320) of, and Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 41325) of, Chapter 3 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Education Code, the administrator is a public school employer within the meaning of the Educational Employment Relations Act (Chapter 10.7 (commencing with Section 3540) of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code).

SEC. 7.   (a) The sum of twelve million nine hundred thousand dollars ($12,900,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for apportionment to the Inglewood Unified School District for the purpose of an emergency loan. In order to qualify for the loan, the school district shall comply with Article 2 (commencing with Section 41320) of, and Article 2.5 (commencing with Section 41325) of, Chapter 3 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2 of the Education Code to the extent those provisions are consistent with the conditions specified in this act. (b) Funds may be disbursed from the proceeds of the loan only if the state administrator and the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team jointly determine that the disbursement is necessary to support the immediate cashflow needs of the school district. (c) Based on the needs of the school district to meet its obligations, the Superintendent of Public Instruction may direct the Controller to disburse, on a monthly basis, specific amounts of the emergency loan before the approval of all of the conditions established by this act. (d) For the fiscal year in which the apportionments are disbursed and each year thereafter, the Controller, or his or her designee, shall cause an audit in lieu of the audit required by Section 41020 of the Education Code to be conducted of the books and accounts of the school district. At the discretion of the Controller, the audit may be conducted by the Controller, his or her designee, or an auditor selected by the school district and approved by the Controller. The costs of these audits shall be borne by the school district. The audits shall be required until the Controller determines, in consultation with the Superintendent of Public Instruction, that the school district is financially solvent but in no event earlier than one year following the implementation of the plan or later than the time the apportionment made is repaid, including interest.   SEC. 8.   (a) The Inglewood Unified School District shall repay the emergency loan incurred pursuant to Section 7 of this act as a straight line loan amortized over a 20-year term. This amount shall be repaid by the school district, plus interest calculated at a rate equal to the rate earned by the Pooled Money Investment Account on the date this act becomes effective, for a period not to exceed 20 years. (b) If a required payment is not made within 60 days after a scheduled date, the Controller shall pay the defaulted loan payment of principal and interest by withholding that amount from the next available payment that would otherwise be made to the county treasurer on behalf of the school district pursuant to Section 14041 of the Education Code. However, subject to the approval of the Department of Finance, the amount withheld may be in monthly amounts as determined by an agreement between the Inglewood Unified School District and the Controller during the period beginning with the next available apportionment through the month preceding the next scheduled payment. (c) The school district shall enter into a lease financing with the California Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank for the purpose of financing the emergency apportionment, including a repayment to the General Fund of the amount advanced pursuant to Section 7 of this act. In addition to the emergency apportionment, the lease financing may include funds necessary for reserves, capitalized interest, credit enhancements, and costs of issuance. The bank shall issue bonds for that purpose pursuant to the powers granted pursuant to the Bergeson-Peace Infrastructure and Economic Development Bank Act as set forth in Division 1 (commencing with Section 63000) of Title 6.7 of the Government Code. The term of the lease shall not exceed 20 years, except that if at the end of the lease term any rent payable is not fully paid, or if the rent payable has been abated, the term of the lease shall be extended for a period not to exceed 10 years. (d) The Director of Finance may amend the payment schedule set forth in subdivision (a) if the director concludes that the amendment is warranted and is in the best interests of both the state and the Inglewood Unified School District education program. Upon that determination, the director shall notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee that the payment schedule will be changed on the date that is 90 days from the date of notification if the Legislature is in session. If the 90-day period ends during a recess of the Legislature or while the Legislature is not in session, the 90-day period shall be extended until the Legislature reconvenes. Amendments to the payment schedule shall defer the unpaid portion of a repayment of the earliest fiscal year in which no other repayment is scheduled. Interest shall accrue on the unpaid portion of a repayment from the scheduled due date until the time the payment is actually made. The interest charge shall be the rate equal to the daily investment rate of the Pooled Money Investment Account on the date the pay schedule is changed. (e) The school district may repay its loan obligation without incurring any prepayment penalties.   SEC. 9.  (a) Notwithstanding Sections 17456, 17457, 17462, and 17463 of the Education Code, or any other law, from June 1, 2011, to June 30, 2014, inclusive, the Inglewood Unified School District may sell property owned by the school district and use the proceeds from the sale to reduce or retire the emergency loan provided in Section 7 of this act. The sale only of property pursuant to this subdivision is not subject to Section 17459 or 17464 of the Education Code. (b) Notwithstanding any other law, from June 1, 2011, to June 30, 2016, inclusive, the Inglewood Unified School District is not eligible for financial hardship assistance pursuant to Article 8 (commencing with Section 17075.10) of Chapter 12.5 of Part 10 of Division 1 of Title 1 of the Education Code.   SEC. 10.   The Los Angeles County Superintendent of Schools maintains the responsibility to superintend school districts under his or her jurisdiction. This act does not remove any statutory or regulatory rights, duties, or obligations from the county superintendent of schools.   SEC. 11.   The Legislature finds and declares that, due to unique circumstances relating to the fiscal emergency in the Inglewood Unified School District, a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution.   SEC. 12.   No reimbursement is required by this act pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution because the only costs that may be incurred by a local agency or school district are the result of a program for which legislative authority was requested by that local agency or school district, within the meaning of Section 17556 of the Government Code and Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution.   SEC. 13.   This act is an urgency statute necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, or safety within the meaning of Article IV of the Constitution and shall go into immediate effect. The facts constituting the necessity are: In order to address the fiscal emergency in which the Inglewood Unified School District finds itself and to ensure that it meets its cash obligations for this fiscal year, it is necessary that this act take effect immediately.
