LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST SB 69, as amended, Liu. School finance: new pupil funding formula. (1) Existing law establishes the public school system in this state, and, among other things, provides for the establishment of county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools throughout the state and for their provision of instruction at the public elementary and secondary schools these local educational agencies maintain. Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires funding for county superintendents of schools and school districts to be calculated pursuant to a revenue limit, as specified, and requires funding for charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a general-purpose entitlement, except as provided, and requires the revenue limit and general-purpose entitlement to be composed of, among other things, state aid and certain local revenues. This bill, commencing in the 2014-15 fiscal year, would revise and recast the provisions related to the public school financing system by requiring state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools that previously received a general-purpose entitlement, to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified. (2) Existing law requires a county board of education, a governing board of a school district, and a governing body of a charter school to annually adopt a budget, as specified. This bill would require a county board of education, a governing board of a school district, and a governing body of a charter school that receives its funding directly, as specified, to annually adopt or revise a local control and accountability plan that aligns with the annual budget and contains certain elements and that, among other things, was developed in consultation with teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, parents, and pupils. By requiring county boards of education and school districts to annually adopt or revise a local control and accountability plan, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. (3) Existing law requires the State Department of Education to ensure that the California School Information Services system meets the needs of pupils in foster care and includes disaggregated data on pupils in foster care. This bill would instead require the department to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the State Department of Social Services for purposes of sharing specified information related to pupils under supervision of the juvenile court. The bill would also require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to submit a report related to pupils under supervision of the juvenile court, as specified, to the Legislature and the Governor by February 15 of each even-numbered year. (4) This bill would, on or before March 1, 2014, require the Legislative Analyst's Office to submit recommendations to the fiscal committees of both houses of the Legislature regarding revisions to the methods of funding pupil transportation, as specified. (3) (5) This bill would make conforming changes, correct cross-references, and make other nonsubstantive changes. (4) (6) This bill would become operative only if specified legislation is enacted in the 2013-14 Regular Session. (5) (7) 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. Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes. THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: SECTION 1. The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (a) The local control funding formula proposal, as specified in AB Assembly Bill 88 of the 2013-14 Regular Session, as amended April 3, 2013, attempts to increase local flexibility, make funding more equitable and transparent, and devote greater resources to children who come to school with greater challenges. (b) The Legislature supports the underlying goal expressed in the local control funding formula proposal of providing additional resources to support improved educational outcomes for disadvantaged pupils. However, the Legislature has concerns related to a number of its provisions, in particular the inadequate level of funding proposed for statewide pupil base grants. Additional concerns include, but are not limited to, proposed concentration grants, incomplete accountability provisions, inadequate data collection, lack of structure for high school grade span funding, perpetuation of historically inequitable funding allocations, and the timing for implementation of a new formula. (c) The local control funding formula proposal encompasses scores of repeals of sections, articles, and chapters of the Education Code, many of which could have unintended consequences. Such repeals require more careful consideration than the compressed annual Budget Act implementation timelines allow. (d) It is the intent of the Legislature to consider a new funding formula through a funding process that affords greater opportunity for analysis, amendment, and public input on a far reaching proposal that will have lasting impacts on California schools and the pupils they serve. SEC. 2. Section 1622 of the Education Code is amended to read: 1622. (a) On or before July 1 of each fiscal year, the county board of education shall adopt an annual budget for the budget year and shall file that budget with the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the county board of supervisors, and the county auditor.

For the 2015-16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, adjust the base grant provided in the prior year by the percentage change in the annual average value of the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States, as published by the United States Department of Commerce for the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. This percentage change shall be determined using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year compared with the annual average value of the same deflator for the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of the second preceding fiscal year, using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year, as reported by the Department of Finance.

(3) If the governing board of a local educational agency has not provided for an audit of the books and accounts of the local educational agency by April 1, the county superintendent of schools having jurisdiction over the local educational agency shall provide for the audit of each local educational agency.

(2) To the extent possible, a description of correction or plan of correction shall be incorporated in the audit report, describing the specific actions that are planned to be taken, or that have been taken, to correct the problem identified by the auditor. The descriptions of specific actions to be taken or that have been taken shall not solely consist of general comments such as "will implement," "accepted the recommendation," or "will discuss at a later date."

(3) Review the description of correction or plan of correction and determine its adequacy. If the description of the correction or plan of correction is not adequate, the county superintendent of schools shall require the local educational agency to resubmit that portion of its response that is inadequate.

( l ) In the audit of a local educational agency for a subsequent year, the auditor shall review the correction or plan or plans of correction submitted by the local educational agency to determine if the exceptions have been resolved. If not, the auditor shall immediately notify the appropriate county office of education and the department and restate the exception in the audit report. After receiving that notification, the department shall either consult with the local educational agency to resolve the exception or require the county superintendent of schools to follow up with the local educational agency. (m) (1) The Superintendent shall be responsible for ensuring that local educational agencies have either corrected or developed plans of correction for any one or more of the following: (A) All federal and state compliance audit exceptions identified in the audit. (B) Any exceptions that the county superintendent certifies as of May 15 have not been corrected. (C) Any repeat audit exceptions that are not assigned to a county superintendent to correct. (2) In addition, the Superintendent shall be responsible for ensuring that county superintendents of schools and each county board of education that serves as the governing board of a local educational agency either correct all audit exceptions identified in the audits of county superintendents of schools and of the local educational agencies for which the county boards of education serve as the governing boards or develop acceptable plans of correction for those exceptions. (3) The Superintendent shall report annually to the Controller on his or her actions to ensure that school districts, county superintendents of schools, and each county board of education that serves as the governing board of a school district have either corrected or developed plans of correction for any of the exceptions noted pursuant to paragraph (1). (n) To facilitate correction of the exceptions identified by the audits issued pursuant to this section, commencing with 2002-03 audits pursuant to this section, the Controller shall require auditors to categorize audit exceptions in each audit report in a manner that will make it clear to both the county superintendent of schools and the Superintendent which exceptions they are responsible for ensuring the correction of by a local educational agency.

(p) If a governing board or county superintendent of schools fails or is unable to make satisfactory arrangements for the audit pursuant to this section, the Controller shall make arrangements for the audit and the cost of the audit shall be paid from local educational agency funds or the county school service fund, as the case may be. (q) Audits of regional occupational centers and programs are subject to the provisions of this section. (r) This section does not authorize examination of, or reports on, the curriculum used or provided for in any local educational agency. (s) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a nonauditing, management, or other consulting service to be provided to a local educational agency by a certified public accounting firm while the certified public accounting firm is performing an audit of the agency pursuant to this section must be in accord with Government Accounting Standards, Amendment No. 3, as published by the United States General Accounting Office. (t) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 20. Section 41020 is added to the Education Code, to read: 41020.

(b) (1) Not later than the first day of May of each fiscal year, each county superintendent of schools shall provide for an audit of all funds under his or her jurisdiction and control and the governing board of each local educational agency shall either provide for an audit of the books and accounts of the local educational agency, including an audit of income and expenditures by source of funds, or make arrangements with the county superintendent of schools having jurisdiction over the local educational agency to provide for that auditing. (2) A contract to perform the audit of a local educational agency that has a disapproved budget or has received a negative certification on any budget or interim financial report during the current fiscal year or either of the two preceding fiscal years, or for which the county superintendent of schools has otherwise determined that a lack of going concern exists, is not valid unless approved by the responsible county superintendent of schools and the governing board of the local educational agency. (3) If the governing board of a local educational agency has not provided for an audit of the books and accounts of the local educational agency by April 1, the county superintendent of schools having jurisdiction over the local educational agency shall provide for the audit of each local educational agency.

The Education Audits Appeal Panel may waive this requirement if the panel finds that no otherwise eligible auditor is available to perform the audit.

The budget to be adopted shall be prepared in accordance with Section 42126. The agenda for that hearing shall be posted at least 72 hours before the public hearing and shall include the location where the budget will be available for public inspection. (A) For the 2011-12 fiscal year, notwithstanding any of the standards and criteria adopted by the state board pursuant to Section 33127, each school district budget shall project the same level of revenue per unit of average daily attendance as it received in the 2010-11 fiscal year and shall maintain staffing and program levels commensurate with that level. (B) For the 2011-12 fiscal year, the school district shall not be required to demonstrate that it is able to meet its financial obligations for the two subsequent fiscal years. (2) Adopt a budget. Not later than five days after that adoption or by July 1, whichever occurs first, the governing board of the school district shall file that budget with the county superintendent of schools. That budget and supporting data shall be maintained and made available for public review. If the governing board of the school district does not want all or a portion of the property tax requirement levied for the purpose of making payments for the interest and redemption charges on indebtedness as described in paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 1 of Article XIII A of the California Constitution, the budget shall include a statement of the amount or portion for which a levy shall not be made.

On or before September 1, the county auditor shall submit the rate computed to the board of supervisors for adoption. (c) The county superintendent of schools shall do all of the following: (1) Examine the adopted budget to determine whether it complies with the standards and criteria adopted by the state board pursuant to Section 33127 for application to final local educational agency budgets. The county superintendent of schools shall identify, if necessary, technical corrections that are required to be made to bring the budget into compliance with those standards and criteria. (2) Determine whether the adopted budget will allow the school district to meet its financial obligations during the fiscal year and is consistent with a financial plan that will enable the school district to satisfy its multiyear financial commitments. In addition to his or her own analysis of the budget of each school district, the county superintendent of schools shall review and consider studies, reports, evaluations, or audits of the school district that were commissioned by the school district, the county superintendent of schools, the Superintendent, and state control agencies and that contain evidence that the school district is showing fiscal distress under the standards and criteria adopted in Section 33127 or that contain a finding by an external reviewer that more than 3 of the 15 most common predictors of a school district needing intervention, as determined by the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team, are present. The county superintendent of schools shall either conditionally approve or disapprove a budget that does not provide adequate assurance that the school district will meet its current and future obligations and resolve any problems identified in studies, reports, evaluations, or audits described in this paragraph.

If a school district does not submit a budget to the county superintendent of schools, the county superintendent of schools shall develop, at school district expense, a budget for that school district by September 15 and transmit that budget to the governing board of the school district. The budget prepared by the county superintendent of schools shall be deemed adopted, unless the county superintendent of schools approves any modifications made by the governing board of the school district. The approved budget shall be used as a guide for the school district's priorities. The Superintendent shall review and certify the budget approved by the county. If, pursuant to the review conducted pursuant to subdivision (c), the county superintendent of schools determines that the adopted budget for a school district does not satisfy paragraph (1) or (2) of that subdivision, he or she shall conditionally approve or disapprove the budget and, not later than August 15, transmit to the governing board of the school district, in writing, his or her recommendations regarding revision of the budget and the reasons for those recommendations, including, but not limited to, the amounts of any budget adjustments needed before he or she can approve that budget.

(e) For districts electing to compute units of average daily attendance pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.5, the amount computed pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 42280) shall be added to the amount computed in subdivision (c) or (d), as appropriate. (f) For the 1984-85 fiscal year only, the county superintendent shall reduce the total revenue limit computed in this section by the amount of the decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System resulting from enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982, offset by any increase in those contributions, as of the 1983-84 fiscal year, resulting from subsequent changes in employer contribution rates. (g) The reduction required by subdivision (f) shall be calculated as follows: (1) Determine the amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the 1983-84 fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees' Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately before the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 was in effect during the 1983-84 fiscal year. (2) Subtract from the amount determined in paragraph (1) the greater of subparagraph (A) or (B): (A) The amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the 1983-84 fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees' Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately after the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 was in effect during the 1983-84 fiscal year. (B) The actual amount of employer contributions made to the Public Employees' Retirement System in the 1983-84 fiscal year. (3) For purposes of this subdivision, employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System for either of the following shall be excluded from the calculation specified above: (A) Positions supported totally by federal funds that were subject to supplanting restrictions. (B) Positions supported, to the extent of employer contributions not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) by a single educational agency, from a revenue source determined on the basis of equity to be properly excludable from the provisions of this subdivision by the Superintendent with the approval of the Director of Finance. (4) For accounting purposes, the reduction made by this subdivision may be reflected as an expenditure from appropriate sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent. (h) The Superintendent shall apportion to each school district the amount determined in this section less the sum of: (1) The district's property tax revenue received pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 75) and Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (2) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Part 18.5 (commencing with Section 38101) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (3) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 16140) of Part 1 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (4) Prior years' taxes and taxes on the unsecured roll. (5) Fifty percent of the amount received pursuant to Section 41603. (6) (A) The amount, if any, received pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000) of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code), except for any amount received pursuant to Section 33401 or 33676 of the Health and Safety Code that is used for land acquisition, facility construction, reconstruction, or remodeling, or deferred maintenance, except for any amount received pursuant to Section 33492.15 of, paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 33607.5 of, or Section 33607.7 of, the Health and Safety Code that is allocated exclusively for educational facilities. (B) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Sections 34177, 34179.5, 34179.6, and 34188 of the Health and Safety Code. (C) The amount, if any, received pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution. (7) For a unified school district, other than a unified school district that has converted all of its schools to charter status pursuant to Section 47606, the amount of statewide average general-purpose funding per unit of average daily attendance received by school districts for each of four grade level ranges, as computed by the department pursuant to Section 47633, multiplied by the average daily attendance, in corresponding grade level ranges, of any pupils who attend charter schools funded pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 47630) of Part 26.8 of Division 4 for which the school district is the sponsoring local educational agency, as defined in Section 47632, and who reside in and would otherwise have been eligible to attend a noncharter school of the school district. (i) A transfer of pupils of grades 7 and 8 between an elementary school district and a high school district shall not result in the receiving school district receiving a revenue limit apportionment for those pupils that exceeds 105 percent of the statewide average revenue limit for the type and size of the receiving school district. (j) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 26. Section 42238.01 is added to the Education Code, to read: 42238.01. It is the intent of the Legislature to do all of the following: (a) Phase in implementation of the local control funding formula, as specified in AB Assembly Bill 88 of the 2013-14 Regular Session, as amended April 3, 2013, in a manner and on a timeline that allows the state to restore local educational agency funding levels to those that existed before state budget cuts that were imposed starting in the 2008-09 fiscal year. (b) Redirect the dollar amounts that have been proposed for concentration grants to instead increase both base grants and supplemental grants, in proportions to be determined. (c) Require that the adjustment for grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as described in paragraph (4) of subdivision (d) of Section 42238.02 be spent on programs that prepare pupils for college and career. It is further the intent of the Legislature to consider other incentives for schools to continue successful career preparation programs, including the possible maintenance of existing categorical and competitive grant programs. (d) Require that funds allocated based on the current home-to-school transportation formula be spent on home-to-school transportation. It is further the intent of the Legislature, as increased funding allows, to adjust those allocations across school districts until all school districts are funded equitably, at a percentage of allowable costs to be determined. (e) Consider remedies for other funding allocations that are distributed according to inequitable, historically based formulas. (f) Provide some level of supplemental support for English learner pupils beyond the five-year limit proposed in paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.02. It is further the intent of the Legislature to ensure greater transparency in the provision of instruction and services for English learner pupils, such that strong local- and state-level oversight and accountability are supported. (g) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2014. SEC. 27. Section 42238.02 is added to the Education Code, to read: 42238.02. (a) The amount computed pursuant to this section shall be known as the school district and charter school local control funding formula. (b) (1) For purposes of this section , "unduplicated pupil" means a pupil enrolled in a school district or a charter school who is either classified as an English learner pursuant to Section 52164, as that section read on January 1, 2014, eligible to receive a free or reduced-price meal pursuant to Section 49552, as that section read on January 1, 2014, or is a foster youth pursuant to Sections 300 and 601 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. A pupil shall be counted only once for purposes of this section if any of the following apply: (A) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal. (B) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is a foster youth. (C) The pupil is classified as a foster youth and is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal. (D) The pupil is classified as an English learner, is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and is a foster youth. (2) Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year, a school district or charter school shall annually report its enrolled unduplicated pupil, free and reduced-price meal eligibility, foster youth, and English learner pupil counts to the Superintendent. (3) Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year, a county office of education shall review and validate reported English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil data for school districts and charter schools under their jurisdiction to ensure the data is reported accurately. (4) The counts of unduplicated pupils shall be derived by the Superintendent using the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. (5) The Superintendent shall calculate the percentage of unduplicated pupils for each school district and charter school by dividing the enrollment of unduplicated pupils in a school district or charter school by the total enrollment in that school district or charter school. (c) Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall annually calculate a local control funding formula grant for each school district and charter school in the state pursuant to this section. (d) The Superintendent shall compute a grade span adjusted base grant equal to the total of the following amounts: (1) For the 2014-15 fiscal year, a base grant of: (A) ____ Eight thousand three hundred sixty-eight dollars ($____) ($8,368) for average daily attendance in grades 9 to 12, inclusive.

(D) ____ Six thousand nine hundred dollars ($____) ($6,910) for average daily attendance in kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive. (2) In each year the grade span adjusted base grants in paragraph (1) shall be adjusted by the percentage change in the annual average value of the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States, as published by the United States Department of Commerce for the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. This percentage change shall be determined using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year compared with the annual average value of the same deflator for the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of the second preceding fiscal year, using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year, as reported by the Department of Finance. (3) (A) The Superintendent shall compute an additional adjustment to the kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, base grant as adjusted for inflation pursuant to paragraph (2) equal to 11.23 percent. The additional grant shall be calculated by multiplying the kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, base grant as adjusted by paragraph (2) by 11.23 percent. (B) Until paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03 is effective, as a condition of the receipt of funds in this paragraph, a school district shall make progress toward maintaining an annual average class size of not more than 24 pupils for each classroom per schoolsite in kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, unless a collectively bargained alternative annual average class size for each classroom per schoolsite in those grades is agreed to by the school district, pursuant to the following calculation: (i) Determine a school district's annual average class size for each classroom per schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, in the prior year. For the 2014-15 fiscal year, this amount shall be the annual average class size for each classroom per schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, in the 2013-14 fiscal year. (ii) Determine a school district's percentage of total need pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03. (iii) Determine the percentage of the need calculated in clause (ii) that is met by funding provided to the school district pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03. (iv) Determine the difference between the amount computed pursuant to clause (i) and an annual average class size of not more than 24 pupils for each classroom per schoolsite. (v) Calculate a current year annual average class size adjustment for each classroom per schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, equal to the adjustment calculated in clause (iv) multiplied by one minus the percentage determined pursuant to clause (iii). (C) School districts that have an annual average class size for each classroom per schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, of 24 pupils or less for each classroom per schoolsite in the 2013-14 fiscal year, shall be exempt from the requirements of subparagraph (B) so long as the school district continues to maintain an annual average class size for each classroom per schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, of not more than 24 pupils in each classroom, unless a collectively bargained alternative ratio is agreed to by the school district. (D) Upon full implementation of the local control funding formula, as a condition of the receipt of funds in this paragraph, all school districts shall maintain an annual average class size for each classroom per schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, of not more than 24 pupils for each classroom per schoolsite in kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, unless a collectively bargained alternative ratio is agreed to by the school district. (E) The annual average class size requirement for each classroom per schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, established pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to waiver by the state board pursuant to Section 33050 or by the Superintendent. (4) The Superintendent shall compute an additional adjustment to the base grant for grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as adjusted for inflation pursuant to paragraph (2), equal to 2.8 percent. The additional grant shall be calculated by multiplying the base grant for grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as adjusted by paragraph (2), by 2.8 percent. (e) The Superintendent shall compute a supplemental grant add-on equal to 35 percent of the base grants as specified in subparagraphs (A) to (D), inclusive, of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d), as adjusted by paragraph (2) of subdivision (d), for each school district or charter school percentage of unduplicated pupils. The supplemental grant shall be calculated by multiplying the base grants as specified in subparagraphs (A) to (D), inclusive, of paragraph (1), as adjusted by paragraph (2) of subdivision (d), by 35 percent and by the percentage of unduplicated pupils in that school district or charter school. (f) The Superintendent shall compute an add-on to the total sum of a school district's or charter school's base and supplemental grants equal to the amount of funding a school district or charter school received from funds allocated pursuant to the Targeted Instructional Improvement Block Grant program, as set forth in Article 6 (commencing with Section 41540) of Chapter 3.2, for the 2013-14 fiscal year, as that article read on January 1, 2014. A school district or charter school shall not receive a total funding amount from this add-on greater than the total amount of funding received by the school district or charter school from that program in the 2013-14 fiscal year. (g) The Superintendent shall compute an add-on to the total sum of a school district's or charter school's base and supplemental grants equal to the amount of funding a school district or charter school received from funds allocated pursuant to the Home-to-School Transportation program, as set forth in former Article 2 (commencing with Section 39820) of Chapter 1 of Part 23.5 and former Article 10 (commencing with Section 41850) of Chapter 5, for the 2013-14 fiscal year. A school district or charter school shall not receive a total funding amount from this add-on greater than the total amount received by the school district or charter school for that program in the 2013-14 fiscal year. (h) (g) The sum of the local control funding formula rates computed pursuant to subdivisions (c) to (e), inclusive, shall be multiplied by: (1) For school districts, the average daily attendance of the school district in the corresponding grade level ranges computed pursuant to Section 42238.05. (2) For charter schools, the total current year average daily attendance in the corresponding grade level ranges. (i) (h) Notwithstanding any other law, the Superintendent shall adjust the sum of each school district's or charter school's amount determined in subdivisions (f) to (h), inclusive, and (g), pursuant to the calculation specified in Section 42238.03, less the sum of the following: (1) (A) For school districts, the property tax revenue received pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 75) and Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (B) For charter schools, the in-lieu property tax amount provided to a charter school pursuant to Section 47635. (2) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Part 18.5 (commencing with Section 38101) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(7) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Sections 34183 and 34188 of the Health and Safety Code. (8) (A) Revenue received pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution. (B) Subparagraph (A) shall only offset entitlements provided for the purpose of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.03 as continued in subsequent years by paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.03. (j) (i) A school district shall annually transfer to each of its charter schools funding in lieu of property taxes pursuant to Section 47635. (k) (j) (1) The funds apportioned pursuant to this section and Section 42238.03, 42238.03 shall be available to a school district or charter school for any locally determined educational purpose. (2) (A) School districts and charter schools that receive supplemental grants pursuant to this section shall only use those funds to serve and assist the pupils whose circumstances generated those funds and shall supplement, not supplant, existing state and federal funds expended on unduplicated pupils pursuant to a school district's or charter school's local control and accountability plan. (B) School districts and charter schools that receive supplemental grants pursuant to this section shall provide services and assistance to an unduplicated pupil or pupils whose circumstances generated those funds at any school enrolling one or more unduplicated pupils. (3) (A) Notwithstanding paragraph (2), a school district or charter school may use funds apportioned pursuant to this article, together with any other federal, state, or local funds, to improve the entire educational program of a school in which at least 70 percent of the enrolled pupils are unduplicated pupils, as defined in subdivision (b), and that use of funds shall be referred to as a schoolwide program for purposes of this paragraph. (B) A school participating in a schoolwide program may use funds apportioned pursuant to this article to benefit any pupil enrolled in the participating school.

(a) Effective July 1, 1998, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make a one-time adjustment to the revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance of each school district. This one-time adjustment shall apply for the 1998-99 fiscal year, and for each fiscal year thereafter, but not for any year prior to 1998-99, and shall be accomplished by revision of the prior fiscal year revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance, as follows: (1) Determine a revised revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance for the 1996-97 fiscal year as follows: (A) For each school district that had its revenue limit funding for the 1996-97 fiscal year calculated on the basis of its 1996-97 average daily attendance pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.5, the revised revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance shall equal the adjusted total base revenue limit determined pursuant to paragraph (2) divided by the adjusted average daily attendance determined pursuant to subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3). (B) For each school district that had its revenue limit funding for the 1996-97 fiscal year calculated on the basis of its 1995-96 average daily attendance pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.5, the revised revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance shall equal the adjusted total base revenue limit determined pursuant to paragraph (2) divided by the adjusted average daily attendance determined pursuant to subparagraphs (B), (C), and (D) of paragraph (3). (2) Determine the amount of the 1996-97 total base revenue limit funding received pursuant to Section 42238 for growth and nongrowth average daily attendance, including, as nongrowth average daily attendance, attendance in necessary small schools in the year determined to be the greater pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.5 for the 1996-97 fiscal year, but excluding attendance in nonpublic, nonsectarian schools, county office operated special education, and county community school programs. (3) (A) Reduce the average daily attendance figure used to make the determination set forth in paragraph (2) by the amount of average daily attendance included in that figure for excused absences pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as that subdivision read on July 1, 1996. (B) Determine the second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the 1996-97 fiscal year, including attendance in necessary small schools and attendance for excused absences pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, but excluding attendance, including attendance for excused absences, in nonpublic, nonsectarian schools, county-operated special education programs, and county community schools. (C) Determine the second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the 1996-97 fiscal year, including attendance in necessary small schools, but excluding attendance in nonpublic, nonsectarian schools, county-operated special education programs, and county community schools and for excused absences pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996. (D) Calculate the adjusted revenue limit average daily attendance by multiplying the average daily attendance figure used to make the determination set forth in paragraph (2) by the quotient of the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) divided by the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (B). (4) Recalculate the 1997-98 fiscal year revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance to reflect the revision in the 1996-97 revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance determined pursuant to paragraph (1). (b) The calculations made pursuant to paragraphs (1) and (4) of subdivision (a) shall not be used for apportionment purposes for either of the fiscal years referred to in those paragraphs or for adjustments for those years. (c) If the governing board of any school district demonstrates to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Public Instruction that, because of extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the school district, the amount of absences excused in one or more district programs in the 1996-97 fiscal year 1996-97 pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, was significantly lower than it would ordinarily have been in comparison to the amount of actual attendance in the 1996-97 fiscal year 1996-97 , the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall make a compensating adjustment, consistent with the provisions of Section 2 of the Education Code, in the calculation set forth in this section. (d) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 57. Section 42238.9 of the Education Code is amended to read: 42238.9. (a) The amount per unit of average daily attendance subtracted pursuant to Section 56712 for revenue limits for pupils in special classes and centers shall be the district's total revenue limit for the current fiscal year computed pursuant to Section 42238, including funds received pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 42280), but excluding the total amount of funds received pursuant to Sections 46200 to 46206, inclusive, and Section 45023.4, as that section read on July 1, 1986, divided by the district's current year average daily attendance pursuant to Section 42238.5. The amount per unit of average daily attendance that is excluded in this calculation for each school district shall be increased for the 1998-99 fiscal year by the quotient for that district of the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.8 divided by the amount determined pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.8. (b) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 58. Section 42238.95 of the Education Code is amended to read: 42238.95. (a) The amount per unit of average daily attendance for pupils in special classes and centers that shall be apportioned to each county office of education shall be equal to the amount determined for the district of residence pursuant to Section 42238.9, increased by the quotient equal to the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (1) divided by the amount determined pursuant to paragraph (2). This subdivision only applies to average daily attendance served by employees of the county office of education. (1) Determine the second principal apportionment average daily attendance for special education for the county office of education for the 1996-97 fiscal year, including attendance for excused absences, divided by the corresponding average daily attendance excluding attendance for excused absences pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, reported pursuant to Section 41601 for the 1996-97 fiscal year. (2) Determine the second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the 1996-97 fiscal year, including attendance for excused absences, for all of the school districts within the county, excluding average daily attendance for county office special education and county community school programs and nonpublic nonsectarian schools, divided by the corresponding average daily attendance, excluding attendance for excused absences determined pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, and reported pursuant to Section 41601 for the 1996-97 fiscal year. (b) A county office of education shall provide the data required to perform the calculation specified in paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) to the Superintendent of Public Instruction in order to be eligible for the adjustment pursuant to subdivision (a). (c) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 59. Section 42238.11 of the Education Code is amended to read: 42238.11. Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 1994-95 fiscal year the county superintendent of schools shall reduce the total revenue limit for each school district in the jurisdiction of the county superintendent of schools by the amount of the decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System resulting from the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982, adjusted for any changes in those contributions resulting from subsequent changes in employer contribution rates, excluding rate changes due to the direct transfer of the state-mandated portion of the employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System, through the 1994-95 fiscal year. The reduction shall be calculated for each school district as follows: (a) Determine the amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the 1994-95 fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees' Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately prior to the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 were in effect during the 1994-95 fiscal year. For purposes of this calculation, no school district shall have a contribution rate higher than 13.020 percent. (b) Subtract from the amount determined in subdivision (a) the actual amount of employer contributions made to the Public Employees' Retirement System in the 1994-95 fiscal year. (c) For the purposes of this section, employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System for any of the following positions shall be excluded from the calculation specified above: (1) Positions or portions of positions supported by federal funds that are subject to supplanting restrictions. (2) Positions supported by funds received pursuant to Section 42243.6. (3) Positions supported, to the extent of employer contributions not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) by any single educational agency, from a non-General Fund revenue source determined to be properly excludable from this section by the Superintendent of Public Instruction with the approval of the Director of Finance. (d) For accounting purposes, the reduction made by this provision may be reflected as an expenditure from appropriate sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction. (e) The amount of the reduction made by this section shall not be adjusted by the deficit factor calculated pursuant to Section 42238.145. It is the intent of the Legislature to make adjustments to school district revenue limits for the 1994-95 fiscal year to reflect savings that these districts will realize in the contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System due to a reduced contribution rate for the 1994-95 fiscal year. This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 60. Section 42238.12 of the Education Code is amended to read: 42238.12. (a) For the 1995-96 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the county superintendent of schools shall adjust the total revenue limit for each school district in the jurisdiction of the county superintendent of schools by the amount of increased or decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System resulting from the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982, adjusted for any changes in those contributions resulting from subsequent changes in employer contribution rates, excluding rate changes due to the direct transfer of the state-mandated portion of the employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System, through the current fiscal year. The adjustment shall be calculated for each school district, as follows: (1) (A) Determine the amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the current fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees' Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately before the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 were in effect during the current fiscal year. (B) For purposes of this calculation, no school district shall have a contribution rate higher than 13.020 percent. (2) Determine the actual amount of employer contributions made to the Public Employees' Retirement System in the current fiscal year. (3) If the amount determined in paragraph (1) for a school district is greater than the amount determined in paragraph (2), the total revenue limit computed for that school district shall be decreased by the amount of the difference between those paragraphs; or, if the amount determined in paragraph (1) for a school district is less than the amount determined in paragraph (2), the total revenue limit for that school district shall be increased by the amount of the difference between those paragraphs. (4) For the purpose of this section, employer contributions to the Public Employees' Retirement System for any of the following positions shall be excluded from the calculation specified above: (A) Positions or portions of positions supported by federal funds that are subject to supplanting restrictions. (B) Positions supported by funds received pursuant to Section 41540 that are established in order to satisfy court-ordered desegregation requirements. (C) Positions supported, to the extent of employers' contributions not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) by any single educational agency, from a non-General Fund revenue source determined to be properly excludable from this section by the Superintendent with the approval of the Director of Finance. Commencing in the 2002-03 fiscal year, only positions supported from a non-General Fund revenue source determined to be properly excludable as identified for a particular local educational agency or pursuant to a blanket waiver by the Superintendent and the Director of Finance, before the 2002-03 fiscal year, may be excluded pursuant to this paragraph. (5) For accounting purposes, any reduction to school district revenue limits made by this provision may be reflected as an expenditure from appropriate sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent. (6) The amount of the increase or decrease to the revenue limits of school districts computed pursuant to paragraph (3) for the 1995-96 to 2002-03 fiscal years, inclusive, may not be adjusted by the deficit factor applied to the revenue limit of each school district pursuant to Section 42238.145. (7) For the 2003-04 fiscal year and any fiscal year thereafter, the revenue limit reduction specified in Section 42238.146 may not be applied to the amount of the increase or decrease to the revenue limits of school districts computed pursuant to paragraph (3). (b) The calculations set forth in paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (a) exclude employer contributions for employees of charter schools funded pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 47633) of Chapter 6 of Part 26.8. (c) Funding appropriated through the Budget Act of 2001 or legislation amending the Budget Act of 2001 for the purpose of limiting the reductions to revenue limits calculated pursuant to this section and to Section 2558 for the 2001-02 fiscal year shall be allocated on a one-time basis in the following manner: (1) Each school district and county office of education subject to a reduced apportionment pursuant to this section or to Section 2558 shall receive a share of the amount described in paragraph (3) that is proportionate to the reduction in their apportionment pursuant to this section or to Section 2558 for the 2001-02 fiscal year as compared to the statewide total reduction that would occur absent this paragraph. (2) For the 2001-02 fiscal year, instead of the alternative calculation authorized by paragraph (1), the San Francisco Unified School District shall receive an amount equal to five dollars and 57 fifty-seven cents ($5.57) multiplied by its second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the 2001-02 fiscal year. (3) Notwithstanding any other law, total allocations pursuant to this subdivision may not exceed thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000). (d) Thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) is hereby appropriated from the General Fund for transfer to Section A of the State School Fund for local assistance for the purpose of limiting the reductions to revenue limits calculated pursuant to this section and to Section 2558 for the 2003-04 fiscal year. Funding from this appropriation shall be allocated in the following manner: (1) Each school district and county office of education subject to a reduced apportionment pursuant to this section or to Section 2558 shall receive a share of the amount appropriated in this subdivision that is proportionate to the reduction in their apportionment pursuant to this section or to Section 2558 for the 2003-04 fiscal year as compared to the statewide total reduction that would occur absent this paragraph. (2) For the 2003-04 fiscal year, instead of the alternative calculation authorized by paragraph (1), the San Francisco Unified School District shall receive an amount equal to five dollars and 57 fifty-seven cents ($5.57) multiplied by its second principal apportionment average daily attendance for the 2003-04 fiscal year. (3) Notwithstanding any other law, total allocations pursuant to this subdivision may not exceed thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) for the 2003-04 fiscal year. (4) For the purposes of making the computations required by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the appropriation made by this section shall be deemed to be "General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts," as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 41202, for the 2003-04 fiscal year and included within the "total allocations to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B," as defined in subdivision (e) of Section 41202, for the 2003-04 fiscal year. (e) For the 2004-05 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, apportionment reductions pursuant to this section and to Section 2558 shall be limited as follows: (1) Each school district and county office of education subject to a reduced apportionment pursuant to this section or to Section 2558 shall receive a share of the amount described in paragraph (3) that is proportionate to the reduction in their apportionment pursuant to this section or to Section 2558 for the 2004-05 fiscal year as compared to the statewide total reduction as would occur absent this paragraph. (2) Instead of the alternative calculation authorized by paragraph (1), the San Francisco Unified School District shall receive funding equal to the amount of funding per unit of average daily attendance specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) as increased annually by cost-of-living adjustments specified in Section 42238.1, multiplied by its second principal apportionment average daily attendance for that fiscal year. (3) Notwithstanding any other law, total limitations pursuant to this subdivision may not annually exceed thirty-five million dollars ($35,000,000) as annually increased by the cost-of-living adjustments specified in Section 42238.1, multiplied by the annual statewide percentage growth in total average daily attendance, measured at the second principal apportionment. (f) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 61. Section 42238.13 of the Education Code is amended to read: 42238.13. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for any elementary school district that meets all of the criteria specified in subdivision (b), the base revenue limit for the 1988-89 fiscal year and each subsequent fiscal year computed pursuant to Section 42238 shall be computed as though the 1987-88 base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance was two thousand nine hundred sixty-five dollars ($2,965). The county superintendent shall compute the revenue limit on that basis. (b) The revenue limit computation described in subdivision (a) shall apply to any elementary school district that meets all of the following criteria: (1) The minority enrollment in the district in the 1987-88 school year was greater than 98 percent. (2) The AFDC enrollment in the district in the 1987-88 school year was greater than 32 percent.

Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for any school district that was reorganized effective July 1, 1992, as a unified school district and that is congruent to a school district that was reorganized as an elementary school district effective July 1, 1990, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall compute apportionments using the following data: (a) For the purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section 42238 for the 1990-91 and 1991-92 fiscal years, the superintendent shall use the actual number of units of average daily attendance for the 1990-91 fiscal year second principal apportionments. (b) For the purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision (d) of Section 42238, for the 1992-93 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the superintendent shall use the actual number of units of average daily attendance for the 1992-93 fiscal year second principal apportionment. This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and, as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2015, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed. SEC. 66. Section 42238.18 of the Education Code is amended to read: 42238.18. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, only those pupils enrolled in county office of education programs while detained in a juvenile hall, juvenile home, day center, juvenile ranch, juvenile camp, or regional youth educational facility established pursuant to Article 23 (commencing with Section 850), Article 24 (commencing with Section 880), and Article 24.5 (commencing with Section 894) of Chapter 2 of Part 1 of Division 2 of the Welfare and Institutions Code shall be counted as juvenile court school pupils. For purposes of apportionments, those pupils in a group home housing 25 or more children placed pursuant to Sections 362, 727, and 730 of the Welfare and Institutions Code or in any group home housing 25 or more children and operating one or more additional sites under a central administration for children placed pursuant to Section 362, 727, or 730 of the Welfare and Institutions Code shall be reported as county group home and institutions pupils to the Superintendent and shall be counted as juvenile court school pupils for purposes of apportionments. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any county superintendent of schools operating juvenile court schools, county group home and institutions schools, or community schools, or any combination of these schools shall maintain an account in their general fund to be known as the juvenile court and community school account, and shall deposit all funds derived from the operation of juvenile court, county group home and institutions schools, and community schools into that account. Expenditures from the juvenile court and community school account shall be limited to the following: (1) Those expenditures defined as direct costs of instructional programs by the California State School Accounting Manual, except that facility costs, including the costs of renting, leasing, purchasing, remodeling, constructing, or improving buildings and the costs of purchasing or improving land, shall be allowed as an instructional cost in the juvenile court and community school fund. Deferred maintenance contributions made pursuant to Section 17584 may also be allowed as an instructional cost of juvenile court and county community school programs, provided the contribution does not exceed the program's proportionate share of total county school service fund expenditures as defined in Section 17584, and provided the funds are used for deferred maintenance of juvenile court and county community school facilities. (2) Expenditures that are defined as documented direct support costs by the California State School Accounting Manual. (3) Expenditures that are defined as allocated direct support costs by the California State School Accounting Manual. (4) Other expenditures for support and indirect charges. However, these charges may not exceed 10 percent of the sum of the expenditures in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3). Expenditures that represent contract payments to other agencies for the operation of juvenile court and community school programs shall be included in the juvenile court and community school account and the contract costs distributed to the cost categories defined in paragraphs (1), (2), (3), and (4). At the end of any given school year the net ending balance in the juvenile court and community school account may be distributed to a reserved account for economic contingencies or to a reserved account for capital outlay, provided that the combined total transferred does not exceed 15 percent of the current year's authorized expenditures as specified above and also provided that funds placed in the reserved accounts shall only be expended for juvenile court, county group home and institutions, or community school programs. The net ending balance, except for those funds placed in a capital outlay fund, shall not exceed the greater of 15 percent of the previous year's expenditures or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000). A county may accumulate over a period of two or more given school years a net ending balance in the capital outlay reserved account of more than 15 percent of the current fiscal year's expenditures under provisions of a resolution of the governing board.

SEC. 84. Section 47634.1 of the Education Code, as added by Section 24 of Chapter 2 of the Fourth Extraordinary Session of the Statutes of 2009, is amended to read: 47634.1. (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 47634, a categorical block grant for charter schools for the 2005-06 fiscal year shall be calculated as follows: (1) The Superintendent shall divide the total amount of funding appropriated for the purpose of this block grant in the annual Budget Act or another statute, less the total amount calculated in paragraph (2), by the statewide total of charter school average daily attendance, as determined at the second principal apportionment for the 2005-06 fiscal year. (2) The statewide average amount, as computed by the Superintendent, of funding per identified educationally disadvantaged pupil received by school districts in the current fiscal year pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 54020) of Chapter 1 of Part 29. This amount shall be multiplied by the number of educationally disadvantaged pupils enrolled in the charter school. The resulting amount, if greater than zero, shall not be less than the minimum amount of economic impact aid funding to which a school district of similar size would be entitled pursuant to Section 54022. For purposes of this subdivision, a pupil who is eligible for subsidized meals pursuant to Section 49552 and is identified as an English learner pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 306 shall count as two pupils. (3) For each charter school, the Superintendent shall multiply the amount calculated in paragraph (1) by the school's average daily attendance as determined at the second principal apportionment for the 2005-06 fiscal year. (4) The Superintendent shall add the amounts computed in paragraphs (2) and (3). The resulting amount shall be the charter school categorical block grant that the Superintendent shall apportion to each charter school from funds appropriated for this purpose in the annual Budget Act or another statute. The Superintendent shall allocate an advance payment of this grant as early as possible, but no later than October 31, 2005, based on prior year average daily attendance as determined at the second principal apportionment or, for a charter school in its first year of operation that commences instruction on or before September 30, 2005, on estimates of average daily attendance for the current fiscal year determined pursuant to Section 47652. (b) (1) For the 2006-07 fiscal year, the categorical block grant allocated by the Superintendent for charter schools shall be four hundred dollars ($400) per unit of charter school average daily attendance as determined at the second principal apportionment for the 2006-07 fiscal year. This amount shall be supplemented by the amount calculated in paragraph (2). (2) The statewide average amount, as computed by the Superintendent, of funding per economic impact aid-eligible pupil count received by school districts in the current fiscal year, pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 54020) of Chapter 1 of Part 29, shall be multiplied by the number of economic impact aid-eligible pupils enrolled in the charter school. The resulting amount, if greater than zero, shall not be less than the minimum amount of economic impact aid funding to which a school district of similar size would be entitled pursuant to Section 54022. (c) (1) For the 2007-08 fiscal year, the categorical block grant allocated by the Superintendent for charter schools shall be five hundred dollars ($500) per unit of charter school average daily attendance as determined at the second principal apportionment for the 2007-08 fiscal year. For each fiscal year thereafter, this per unit amount shall be adjusted for the cost-of-living adjustment, as determined pursuant to Section 42238.1, for that fiscal year. This amount shall be supplemented in the 2007-08 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter by the amount calculated in paragraph (2). (2) The statewide average amount, as computed by the Superintendent, of funding per economic impact aid-eligible pupil count received by school districts in the current year, pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 54020) of Chapter 1 of Part 29, shall be multiplied by the number of economic impact aid-eligible pupils enrolled in the charter school. The resulting amount, if greater than zero, shall not be less than the minimum amount of economic impact aid funding to which a school district of similar size would be entitled pursuant to Section 54022. (d) It is the intent of the Legislature to fully fund the categorical block grant for charter schools as specified in this section and to appropriate additional funding that may be needed in order to compensate for unanticipated increases in average daily attendance and counts of economic impact aid-eligible pupils, pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 54020) of Chapter 1 of Part 29, in charter schools. In any fiscal year in which the department identifies a deficiency in the categorical block grant, the department shall identify the available balance for programs that count towards meeting the requirements of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution and have unobligated funds for the year. On or before July 1, the department shall provide the Department of Finance with a list of those programs and their available balances, and the amount of the deficiency, if any, in the categorical block grant. Within 45 days of the receipt of a notification of deficiency, the Director of Finance shall verify the amount of the deficiency in the categorical block grant and direct the Controller to transfer an amount, equal to the lesser of the amount available or the amount needed to fully fund the categorical block grant, from those programs to the categorical block grant. The Department of Finance shall notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee within 30 days of any transfer made pursuant to this section. (e) Commencing October 1, 2007, the Legislative Analyst's Office shall triennially convene a work group to review, commencing with appropriations proposed for the 2008-09 fiscal year, the appropriateness of the funding level provided by the categorical block grant established in this section. (f) Categorical block grant funding may be used for any purpose determined by the governing body of the charter school. (g) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2013. (h) On or after July 1, 2014, this section shall become inoperative if the categorical programs funded through the categorical block grant described in this section are instead included within, or funded by, the local control funding formula pursuant to Section 42238.02, as implemented by Section 42238.03. SEC. 85. Section 49085 of the Education Code is amended to read: 49085. (a) The department shall ensure that the California School Information Services system meets the needs of pupils in foster care and includes disaggregated data on pupils in foster care. and the State Department of Social Services shall develop and enter into a memorandum of understanding that shall, at a minimum, require the State Department of So cial Services, at least once per week, to share with the department both of the following: (1) Disaggregated information on children and youth in foster care sufficient for the department to identify pupils in foster care. (2) Disaggregated data on children and youth in foster care that is helpful to county offices of education and other local educational agencies responsible for ensuring that pupils in foster care received appropriate educational supports and services. (b) To the extent allowable under federal law, the department shall regularly identify pupils in foster care and designate those pupils in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System or any future data system used by the department to collect disaggregated pupil outcome data. (c) To the extent allowable under federal law, the Superintendent, on or before February 15 of each even-numbered year, shall report to the Legislature and the Governor on the educational outcomes for pupils in foster care at both the individual schoolsite level and school district level. The report shall include, but is not limited to, all of the following: (1) Individual schoolsite level and school district level educational outcome data for each local educational agency that enrolls at least 15 pupils in foster care, each county in which at least 15 pupils in foster care attend school, and for the entire state. (2) The number of pupils in foster care statewide and by each local educational agency. (3) The academic achievement of pupils in foster care. (4) The incidence of suspension and expulsion for pupils in foster care. (5) Truancy rates, attendance rates, and dropout rates for pupils in foster care. (d) To the extent allowable under federal law, the department, at least once per week, shall do all of the following: (1) Inform school districts and charter schools of any pupils enrolled in those school districts or charter schools who are in foster care. (2) Inform county offices of education of any pupils enrolled in schools in the county who are in foster care. (3) Provide schools districts, county office of education, and charter schools disaggregated data helpful to ensuring pupils in foster care receive appropriate educational supports and services. (e) For purposes of this section "pupil in foster care" means a pupil who is under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court pursuant to Section 300, 601, or 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. SEC. 86. Section 52052 of the Education Code is amended to read: 52052. (a) (1) The Superintendent, with approval of the state board, shall develop an Academic Performance Index (API), to measure the performance of schools, especially the academic performance of pupils. (2) A school shall demonstrate comparable improvement in academic achievement as measured by the API by all numerically significant pupil subgroups at the school, including: (A) Ethnic subgroups. (B) Socioeconomically disadvantaged pupils. (C) English learners. (D) Pupils with disabilities. (E) Pupils in foster care. (3) (A) For purposes of this section, except as specified in subparagraph (B), (C), or (D), a numerically significant pupil subgroup is one that meets both of the following criteria: (i) The subgroup consists of at least 50 30 pupils each of whom has a valid test score. (ii) The subgroup constitutes at least 15 percent of the total population of pupils at a school who have valid test scores. (B) If a subgroup does not constitute 15 percent of the total population of pupils at a school who have valid test scores, the subgroup may constitute a numerically significant pupil subgroup if it has at least 100 valid test scores. (C) For a subgroup of pupils in foster care, a numerically significant pupil subgroup is a subgroup that consists of at least 15 pupils in foster care. For purposes of this sections "pupil in foster care" means a pupil who is under the jurisdiction of the juvenile court pursuant to Section 300, 601, or 602 of the Welfare and Institutions Code. (C) (D) For a school with an API score that is based on no fewer than 11 and no more than 99 pupils with valid test scores, numerically significant pupil subgroups shall be defined by the Superintendent, with approval by the state board. (4) (A) The API shall consist of a variety of indicators currently reported to the department, including, but not limited to, the results of the achievement test administered pursuant to Section 60640, attendance rates for pupils in elementary schools, middle schools, and secondary schools, and the graduation rates for pupils in secondary schools. (B) The Superintendent, with the approval of the state board, may also incorporate into the API the rates at which pupils successfully promote from one grade to the next in middle school and high school, and successfully matriculate from middle school to high school. (C) Graduation rates for pupils in secondary schools shall be calculated for the API as follows: (i) Four-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school year, which is considered to be three school years after the pupils entered grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the total calculated in clause (ii). (ii) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in the school year three school years before the current school year, plus the number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating at the end of the current school year between the school year that was three school years before the current school year and the date of graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the school between the school year that was three school years before the current school year and the date of graduation who were members of the class that is graduating at the end of the current school year. (iii) Five-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school year, which is considered to be four school years after the pupils entered grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the total calculated in clause (iv). (iv) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in the school year four years before the current school year, plus the number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating at the end of the current school year between the school year that was four school years before the current school year and the date of graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the school between the school year that was four years before the current school year and the date of graduation who were members of the class that is graduating at the end of the current school year. (v) Six-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school year, which is considered to be five school years after the pupils entered grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the total calculated in clause (vi). (vi) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in the school year five years before the current school year, plus the number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating at the end of the current school year between the school year that was five school years before the current school year and the date of graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the school between the school year that was five years before the current school year and the date of graduation who were members of the class that is graduating at the end of the current school year. (D) The inclusion of five- and six-year graduation rates for pupils in secondary schools shall meet the following requirements: (i) Schools shall be granted one-half the credit in their API scores for graduating pupils in five years that they are granted for graduating pupils in four years. (ii) Schools shall be granted one-quarter the credit in their API scores for graduating pupils in six years that they are granted for graduating pupils in four years. (iii) Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii), schools shall be granted full credit in their API scores for graduating in five or six years a pupil with disabilities who graduates in accordance with his or her individualized education program. (E) The pupil data collected for the API that comes from the achievement test administered pursuant to Section 60640 and the high school exit examination administered pursuant to Section 60851, when fully implemented, shall be disaggregated by special education status, English learners, socioeconomic status, gender, and ethnic group. Only the test scores of pupils who were counted as part of the enrollment in the annual data collection of the California Basic Educational Data System for the current fiscal year and who were continuously enrolled during that year may be included in the test result reports in the API score of the school. (F) (i) Commencing with the baseline API calculation in 2016, and for each year thereafter, results of the achievement test and other tests specified in subdivision (b) shall constitute no more than 60 percent of the value of the index for secondary schools. (ii) In addition to the elements required by this paragraph, the Superintendent, with approval of the state board, may incorporate into the index for secondary schools valid, reliable, and stable measures of pupil preparedness for postsecondary education and career. (G) Results of the achievement test and other tests specified in subdivision (b) shall constitute at least 60 percent of the value of the index for primary schools and middle schools. (H) It is the intent of the Legislature that the state's system of public school accountability be more closely aligned with both the public's expectations for public education and the workforce needs of the state's economy. It is therefore necessary that the accountability system evolve beyond its narrow focus on pupil test scores to encompass other valuable information about school performance, including, but not limited to, pupil preparedness for college and career, as well as the high school graduation rates already required by law. (I) The Superintendent shall annually determine the accuracy of the graduation rate data. Notwithstanding any other law, graduation rates for pupils in dropout recovery high schools shall not be included in the API. For purposes of this subparagraph, "dropout recovery high school" means a high school in which 50 percent or more of its pupils have been designated as dropouts pursuant to the exit/withdrawal codes developed by the department or left a school and were not otherwise enrolled in a school for a period of at least 180 days. (J) To complement the API, the Superintendent, with the approval of the state board, may develop and implement a program of school quality review that features locally convened panels to visit schools, observe teachers, interview pupils, and examine pupil work, if an appropriation for this purpose is made in the annual Budget Act. (K) The Superintendent shall annually provide to local educational agencies and the public a transparent and understandable explanation of the individual components of the API and their relative values within the API. (L) An additional element chosen by the Superintendent and the state board for inclusion in the API pursuant to this paragraph shall not be incorporated into the API until at least one full school year after the state board's decision to include the element into the API. (b) Pupil scores from the following tests, when available and when found to be valid and reliable for this purpose, shall be incorporated into the API: (1) The standards-based achievement tests provided for in Section 60642.5. (2) The high school exit examination. (c) Based on the API, the Superintendent shall develop, and the state board shall adopt, expected annual percentage growth targets for all schools based on their API baseline score from the previous year. Schools are expected to meet these growth targets through effective allocation of available resources. For schools below the statewide API performance target adopted by the state board pursuant to subdivision (d), the minimum annual percentage growth target shall be 5 percent of the difference between the actual API score of a school and the statewide API performance target, or one API point, whichever is greater. Schools at or above the statewide API performance target shall have, as their growth target, maintenance of their API score above the statewide API performance target. However, the state board may set differential growth targets based on grade level of instruction and may set higher growth targets for the lowest performing schools because they have the greatest room for improvement. To meet its growth target, a school shall demonstrate that the annual growth in its API is equal to or more than its schoolwide annual percentage growth target and that all numerically significant pupil subgroups, as defined in subdivision (a), are making comparable improvement. (d) Upon adoption of state performance standards by the state board, the Superintendent shall recommend, and the state board shall adopt, a statewide API performance target that includes consideration of performance standards and represents the proficiency level required to meet the state performance target. When the API is fully developed, schools, at a minimum, shall meet their annual API growth targets to be eligible for the Governor's Performance Award Program as set forth in Section 52057. The state board may establish additional criteria that schools must meet to be eligible for the Governor's Performance Award Program. (e) (1) A school with 11 to 99 pupils with valid test scores shall receive an API score with an asterisk that indicates less statistical certainty than API scores based on 100 or more test scores. (2) A school annually shall receive an API score, unless the Superintendent determines that an API score would be an invalid measure of the performance of the school for one or more of the following reasons: (A) Irregularities in testing procedures occurred. (B) The data used to calculate the API score of the school are not representative of the pupil population at the school. (C) Significant demographic changes in the pupil population render year-to-year comparisons of pupil performance invalid. (D) The department discovers or receives information indicating that the integrity of the API score has been compromised. (E) Insufficient pupil participation in the assessments included in the API. (3) If a school has fewer than 100 pupils with valid test scores, the calculation of the API or adequate yearly progress pursuant to the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 6301 et seq.) and federal regulations may be calculated over more than one annual administration of the tests administered pursuant to Section 60640 and the high school exit examination administered pursuant to Section 60851, consistent with regulations adopted by the state board. (f) Only schools with 100 or more test scores contributing to the API may be included in the API rankings. (g) The Superintendent, with the approval of the state board, shall develop an alternative accountability system for schools under the jurisdiction of a county board of education or a county superintendent of schools, community day schools, nonpublic, nonsectarian schools pursuant to Section 56366, and alternative schools serving high-risk pupils, including continuation high schools and opportunity schools. Schools in the alternative accountability system may receive an API score, but shall not be included in the API rankings. SEC. 85. SEC. 87.
