LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
SB 78, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review.
Budget Act of 2015. Education finance: local control
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, before July 1, 2013,
established a public school financing system that required funding
for county superintendents of schools and school districts to be
calculated pursuant to a revenue limit, as specified, and required
funding for charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a
general-purpose entitlement, except as provided, and required the
revenue limit and general-purpose entitlement to be composed of,
among other things, state aid and certain local revenues. Existing
law also establishes various categorical education programs under
which funding was provided for specific educational purposes.
Existing law, commencing July 1, 2013, revised and recast the
provisions related to the public 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.
This bill would, among other things, repeal provisions requiring
or authorizing many categorical education programs. The bill would
repeal provisions relating to the revenue limit and would replace
references to the former review limit and general-purpose entitlement
calculations with the references to the current local control
funding formula calculation. The bill would, commencing with the
2014-15 fiscal year, revise the authorization for a school
participating in a special assistance alternative authorized under
the federal National School Lunch Program to establish a base year
for purposes of the local control funding formula for determining
pupils eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as specified. The
bill would require specified information to be included in an
alternative household income data collection form for the federal
National School Lunch Program for purposes of the local control
funding formula. The bill would also change the funding calculations
for necessary small schools.
(2) Existing law requires a county superintendent of schools to
annually present a report, on or before August 15, to the governing
board of the school district and the Superintendent of Public
Instruction regarding the fiscal solvency of a school district with a
disapproved budget, qualified interim certification, or a negative
interim certification, or that is determined to be in a position of
fiscal uncertainty.
This bill would instead require a county superintendent of schools
to present the report on or before September 15.
(3) Existing law specifies how funds appropriated pursuant to a
specified budget item of the Budget Act of 2006 for specified county
offices of education for site visits shall be allocated.
This bill would delete that provision.
(4) Existing law, on or before July 1 of each fiscal year,
requires the county board of education to adopt an annual budget for
the budget year and file the budget with the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, the county board of supervisors, and the county
auditor. Existing law requires the Superintendent to examine the
budget, as specified, and, on or before August 15, approve or
disapprove the budget, as specified. If the Superintendent
disapproves the budget, existing law requires the county
superintendent of schools and the county board of education, on or
before September 8, to review recommendations of the Superintendent
at a regularly scheduled meeting of the county board of education and
respond to those recommendations, as specified. Existing law
requires the Superintendent to examine a revised budget, as
specified, and, on or before October 8, to approve or disapprove the
revised budget. If the Superintendent disapproves the budget,
existing law requires him or her to call for the formation of a
budget review committee, and requires the budget review committee, on
or before October 31, to review the proposed budget, as specified.
If the budget review committee disapproves the budget of the county
office of education, existing law requires the Superintendent to
either approve or disapprove the budget, as specified. If the
Superintendent disapproves the budget, existing law authorizes the
Superintendent or his or her designee to do certain things for the
remainder of the year, including, among others, to develop and adopt,
in consultation with the county superintendent of schools and the
county board of education, on or before November 30, a fiscal plan
and budget for the county office of education, as specified.
This bill would, among other things, extend those dates by one
month to September 15, October 8, November 8, November 30, and
December 31, respectively.
(5) Existing law, on or before July 1 of each fiscal year,
requires a school district to adopt a budget for the subsequent
fiscal year and file the adopted budget with the county
superintendent of schools, as specified. Existing law requires the
county superintendent of schools to examine the adopted budget, as
specified, make certain determinations related to the adopted budget,
and, on or before August 15, approve, conditionally approve, or
disapprove the adopted budget for each school district, as specified.
If the county superintendent of schools conditionally approves or
disapproves the budget, existing law requires the governing board of
the school district, in conjunction with the county superintendent of
schools, on or before September 8, to review and respond to the
recommendations of the county superintendent of schools as specified.
Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to
examine the revised budget to make certain determinations and, on or
before October 8, to approve or disapprove the revised budget, as
specified. If the county superintendent of schools disapproves the
budget, existing law requires him or her to call for the formation of
a budget review committee, and requires the budget review committee,
on or before October 31, to review the proposed budget, as
specified. If the budget review committee disapproves the budget of
the school district, existing law requires the Superintendent of
Public Instruction to either approve or disapprove the budget, as
specified. If the Superintendent disapproves the budget, existing law
requires the county superintendent of schools to do certain things,
including, among others, on or before November 30, develop and adopt,
in consultation with the governing board of the school district and
the Superintendent, a fiscal plan and budget for the school district,
as specified.
This bill would, among other things, extend those dates by one
month to September 15, October 8, November 8, November 30, and
December 31, respectively.
(6) This bill would appropriate $5,994,417,000 from the General
Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction for purposes of
allocating those funds to school districts and charter schools
pursuant to the local control funding formula for those local
educational agencies.
(7) This bill also would make conforming changes, would correct
cross-references, would delete obsolete provisions, and would make
other nonsubstantive changes.
(8) Funds appropriated by this bill would be applied toward the
minimum funding requirements for school districts and community
college districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the
California Constitution.
(9) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately
as a bill providing for appropriations related to the Budget Bill.
This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact
statutory changes relating to the Budget Act of 2015.

(D) If the deficiency is not remedied as required pursuant to
subparagraph (C), the county superintendent shall request the
department to purchase the textbooks or instructional materials
necessary to comply with the sufficiency requirement of this
subdivision. If the department purchases textbooks or instructional
materials for the school district, the department shall issue a
public statement at the first regularly scheduled meeting of the
state board occurring immediately after the department receives the
request of the county superintendent and that meets the applicable
public notice requirements, indicating that the district
superintendent and the governing board of the school district failed
to provide pupils with sufficient textbooks or instructional
materials as required by this subdivision. Before purchasing the
textbooks or instructional materials, the department shall consult
with the school district to determine which textbooks or
instructional materials to purchase. The amount of funds necessary

Superintendent shall notify the Controller and the Controller shall
deduct an amount equal to the total amount used to purchase the
textbooks and materials from the next principal apportionment of the
school district or from another apportionment of state funds.
(j) Preserve carefully all reports of school officers and
teachers.

official term, all records, books, documents, and papers belonging to
the office, taking a receipt for them, which shall be filed with the
department.

the county board of education in accordance with the following:
(A) The first report shall cover the financial and budgetary
status of the county office of education for the period ending
October 31. The second report shall cover the period ending January
31. Both reports shall be reviewed by the county board of education
and approved by the county superintendent no later than 45 days after
the close of the period being reported.
(B) As part of each report, the county superintendent shall
certify in writing whether or not the county office of education is
able to meet its financial obligations for the remainder of the
fiscal year and, based on current forecasts, for two subsequent
fiscal years. The certifications shall be classified as positive,
qualified, or negative, pursuant to standards prescribed by the
Superintendent, for the purposes of determining subsequent state
agency actions pursuant to Section 1240.1. For purposes of this
subdivision, a negative certification shall be assigned to a county
office of education that, based upon current projections, will not
meet its financial obligations for the remainder of the fiscal year
or for the subsequent fiscal year. A qualified certification shall be
assigned to a county office of education that may not meet its
financial obligations for the current fiscal year or two subsequent
fiscal years. A positive certification shall be assigned to a county
office of education that will meet its financial obligations for the
current fiscal year and subsequent two fiscal years. In accordance
with those standards, the Superintendent may reclassify a
certification. If a county office of education receives a negative
certification, the Superintendent, or his or her designee, may
exercise the authority set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 1630.
Copies of each certification, and of the report containing that
certification, shall be sent to the Superintendent at the time the
certification is submitted to the county board of education. Copies
of each qualified or negative certification and the report containing
that certification shall be sent to the Controller at the time the
certification is submitted to the county board of education.

standards and criteria adopted by the state board pursuant to Section
33127, each county office of education 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.
(ii) For the 2011-12 fiscal year, the county superintendent shall
not be required to certify in writing whether or not the county
office of education is able to meet its financial obligations for the

attendance for the 1996-97 fiscal year for each of the programs. Each
revised revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance shall
equal funding received for the program for the 1996-97 fiscal year
that is directly attributable to the original revenue limit per unit
of average daily attendance, divided by the attendance, excluding
absences excused pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it
read on July 1, 1996, reported pursuant to Section 41601 for that
program in the 1996-97 fiscal year.

used for apportionment purposes for either of those years or for
adjustments for those years.

because of extraordinary circumstances beyond the control of the
county office of education, the amount of absences excused in one or
more county office programs in fiscal year 1996-97 pursuant to

adjustment, consistent with the provisions of Section 2 of the
Education Code, in the calculation set forth in this section.

calculated pursuant to paragraph
(2) of subdivision (a) of Section 2550.2.

the inflation adjustment calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (a) of Section 2550.2 exceed the amount needed to fully
fund the revenue limit increases calculated pursuant to subdivisions
(b) to (f), inclusive, of Section 2550.6, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction shall, from those excess funds, allocate the
amounts necessary to increase the revenue limits of county
superintendents of schools pursuant to Section 2550.7. If those funds
are not sufficient to fully fund the revenue limit increases
described in Section 2550.7, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
shall make allocations for those revenue limit increases on a pro
rata basis. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall, in each
subsequent fiscal year that those excess funds are available,
continue to allocate funds for the purposes of Section 2550.7 until
the revenue limits are increased to the level contemplated by that
section.

excess funds are available, the Superintendent of Public Instruction
shall, for the purpose of making an inflation adjustment, allocate
those funds in a uniform amount per unit of average daily attendance
for each school receiving a revenue limit increase pursuant to the
relevant subdivision of subdivision (b), (c), (d), (e), or (f) of
Section 2550.6, with the uniform amount per unit of average daily
attendance reduced as necessary and the amount thereby saved

increase pursuant to the relevant subdivision (b), (c), (d), (e), or
(f) of Section 2550.6 to ensure that it has a funding level per unit
of average daily attendance in the then current fiscal year that is
not less than the highest funding level per unit of average daily
attendance in the then current fiscal year for schools that receive a
revenue limit increase pursuant to the relevant subdivision (b),
(c), (d), (e), or (f) of Section 2550.6.
(e) If in the 2000-01 fiscal year there are not sufficient funds
available to fully fund revenue limits for schools subject to Section
2550.6 at the level calculated pursuant to subdivision (f) of
Section 2550.6, then the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall
continue to equalize revenue limits per unit of average daily
attendance for those schools in a manner consistent with Section
2550.6 in the 2001-02 fiscal year, and in any subsequent fiscal year,
as necessary, and consistent with subdivision (f) of Section 2550.6.
(f) The equalization of revenue limits per unit of average daily
attendance pursuant to Section 2550.6 shall be complete in the fiscal
year in which the revenue limit per unit of average daily
attendance, as computed pursuant to Section 2550.6, for each school
subject to this section is within the following range:
(1) Not less than the statewide average revenue limit per unit of
average daily attendance for pupils enrolled in schools for the prior
fiscal year multiplied by the inflation adjustment computed pursuant
to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 2550.2 for the
current fiscal year.
(2) Not more than the product calculated in paragraph (1)
multiplied by 1.15.

calculated pursuant to subparagraph (C) of paragraph (2) of
subdivision (d) is less than the amount determined pursuant to
paragraph (1), make the following computation:
(A) From the amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) subtract

the total revenue
limit computed pursuant to Section 2558 of the Education Code by the
amount of the decreased employer contributions to the Public

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
2558.45.
It is the intent of the Legislature to make adjustments to county

academic or educational achievements of pupils is not an
extracurricular or cocurricular activity as defined by this section.

elements:
(A) (i) It may provide that special circumstances exist that might
be harmful or dangerous to a particular pupil in the current
attendance area of the pupil, including, but not necessarily limited
to, threats of bodily harm or threats to the emotional stability of
the pupil, that serve as a basis for granting a priority of
attendance outside the current attendance area of the pupil. A
finding of harmful or dangerous special circumstances shall be based
upon either of the following:
(I) A written statement from a representative of the appropriate
state or local agency, including, but not necessarily limited to, a
law enforcement official or a social worker, or properly licensed or
registered professionals, including, but not necessarily limited to,
psychiatrists, psychologists, or marriage and family therapists.
(II) A court order, including a temporary restraining order and
injunction, issued by a judge.
(ii) A finding of harmful or dangerous special circumstances
pursuant to this subparagraph may be used by a school district to
approve transfers within the district to schools that have been
deemed by the school district to be at capacity and otherwise closed
to transfers that are not based on harmful or dangerous special
circumstances.
(B) It may provide that schools receiving requests for admission
shall give priority for attendance to siblings of pupils already in
attendance in that school and to pupils whose parent or legal
guardian is assigned to that school as his or her primary place of
employment.

reimbursement pursuant to former Section 42247.4, as that
section read on January 1, 2001, and that received an apportionment
pursuant to subdivision (h) of former Section 42247.4, as
that section read on January 1, 2001, because a court order directs
pupils to transfer to that school district as part of the
court-ordered voluntary pupil transfer program, the Superintendent,
from the 2001-02 fiscal year to the 2012-13 fiscal year, inclusive,
shall calculate an apportionment of state funds for that basic aid
school district that provides 70 percent of the school district
revenue limit calculated pursuant to former Section 42238,
as that section read on January 1, 2013, that would have been
apportioned to the school district from which the pupils were
transferred for the average daily attendance of any pupils credited
under that court order who did not attend the basic aid school
district before the 1995-96 fiscal year.
(b) (1) For a basic aid school district that was entitled to
reimbursement pursuant to former Section 42247.4, as that
section read on January 1, 2001, and that received an apportionment
pursuant to subdivision (h) of former Section 42247.4, as
that section read on January 1, 2001, because a court order directs
pupils to transfer to that school district as part of the
court-ordered voluntary pupil transfer program, the Superintendent,
commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year, shall calculate an
apportionment of state funds for that basic aid school district that

42238.02, as implemented by Section 42238.03, that would have been
apportioned to the school district from which the pupils were

fiscal year, the Superintendent shall apportion, for average daily
attendance credited pursuant to paragraph (1), the lesser of the
amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) or 70 percent of
the sum of the entitlements for the school district from which the
pupil or pupils were transferred for the specified fiscal year as
computed pursuant to paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision
(a), and paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), of Section 42238.03,

which this section is applied, an apportionment of state funds
pursuant to subdivision (o) of Section 42238.02.
SEC. 43. Section 41610 of the Education
Code is repealed.
41610. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, commencing
with the 1988-89 fiscal year any school district that has discovered
an error in the attendance accounting computer program that has
caused it to overstate its average daily attendance is not required
to amend its prior years' reports, if the independent audit for the
1987-88 fiscal year or any previous fiscal year did not reveal the
error.
Commencing with the 1989-90 fiscal year, no school district is

or any other provision, for a decline in average daily attendance
that is a result of an overstatement of the 1987-88 fiscal year
average daily attendance.
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, any school
district that has experienced all of the following shall not have its
revenue limit apportionment adjusted for the 1988-89 fiscal year or
any prior fiscal year as a result of any attendance reporting error
occurring in the 1987-88 fiscal year or any prior fiscal year:
(1) The district has used an attendance accounting computer system
since the 1978-79 school year.
(2) The attendance accounting system has been audited during the

annual audits, has been found to contain an error.
(3) The district has experienced declining enrollment from the
1987-88 fiscal year to the 1988-89 fiscal year.
(c) Any school district for which subdivision (b) is applicable
shall calculate its declining enrollment adjustment pursuant to

the 1987-88 fiscal year rather than based upon the average daily
attendance originally reported for the 1987-88 fiscal year.
SEC. 44. Section 42127 of the Education
Code is amended to read:
42127. (a) On or before July 1 of each year, the governing board

42103 on the budget to be adopted for the subsequent fiscal year. 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.
(2) (A) 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. The 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. For the 2014-15 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
the governing board of the school district shall not adopt a budget
before the governing board of the school district adopts a local
control and accountability plan, if an existing local control and
accountability plan or annual update to a local control and
accountability plan is not effective for the budget year. The
governing board of a school district shall not adopt a budget that
does not include the expenditures necessary to implement the local
control and accountability plan or the annual update to a local
control and accountability plan that is effective for the budget
year.
(B) Commencing with budgets adopted for the 2015-16 fiscal year,
the governing board of a school district that proposes to adopt a
budget, or revise a budget pursuant to subdivision (e),
budget that includes a combined assigned and
unassigned ending fund balance in excess of the minimum recommended
reserve for economic uncertainties adopted by the state board
pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 33128, shall, at the public
hearing held pursuant to paragraph (1), provide all of the following
for public review and discussion:
(i) The minimum recommended reserve for economic uncertainties for
each fiscal year identified in the budget.
(ii) The combined assigned and unassigned ending fund balances
that are in excess of the minimum recommended reserve for economic
uncertainties for each fiscal year identified in the budget.
(iii) A statement of reasons that substantiates the need for an
assigned and unassigned ending fund balance that is in excess of the
minimum recommended reserve for economic uncertainties for each
fiscal year that the school district identifies an assigned and
unassigned ending fund balance that is in excess of the minimum
recommended reserve for economic uncertainties, as identified
pursuant to clause (ii).
(C) The governing board of a school district shall include the
information required pursuant to subparagraph (B) in its budgetary
submission each time it files an adopted or revised budget with the
county superintendent of schools. The information required pursuant
to subparagraph (B) shall be maintained and made available for public
review.
(b) The county superintendent of schools may accept changes in any
statement included in the budget, pursuant to subdivision (a), of
the amount or portion for which a property tax levy shall not be
made. The county superintendent of schools or the county auditor
shall compute the actual amounts to be levied on the property tax
rolls of the school district for purposes that exceed apportionments
to the school district pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section
95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. Each
school district shall provide all data needed by the county
superintendent of schools or the county auditor to compute the
amounts. On or before August 15, the county superintendent of schools
shall transmit the amounts computed to the county auditor who shall
compute the tax rates necessary to produce the amounts. 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.
(3) Determine whether the adopted budget includes the expenditures
necessary to implement the local control and accountability plan or
annual update to the local control and accountability plan approved
by the county superintendent of schools.
(4) Determine whether the adopted budget includes a combined
assigned and unassigned ending fund balance that exceeds the minimum
recommended reserve for economic uncertainties. If the adopted budget
includes a combined assigned and unassigned ending fund balance that
exceeds the minimum recommended reserve for economic uncertainties,
the county superintendent of schools shall verify that the school
district complied with the requirements of subparagraphs (B) and (C)
of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a).
(d) (1) On or before August September
15, the county superintendent of schools shall approve,
conditionally approve, or disapprove the adopted budget for each
school district. For the 2014-15 fiscal year and each fiscal year
thereafter, the county superintendent of schools shall disapprove a
budget if the county superintendent of schools determines that the
budget does not include the expenditures necessary to implement a
local control and accountability plan or an annual update to the
local control and accountability plan approved by the county
superintendent of schools. If the governing board of 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 budget prepared by the county superintendent of
schools shall also comply with the requirements of subparagraph (B)
of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a). 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), (2),
(3), or (4) of that subdivision, he or she shall conditionally
approve or disapprove the budget and, not later than August
September 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.
The county superintendent of schools may assign a fiscal adviser to
assist the school district to develop a budget in compliance with
those revisions. In addition, the county superintendent of schools
may appoint a committee to examine and comment on the superintendent'
s review and recommendations, subject to the requirement that the
committee report its findings to the county superintendent of schools
no later than August September 20.
(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, for the
2014-15 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the budget shall
not be adopted or approved by the county superintendent of schools
before a local control and accountability plan or update to an
existing local control and accountability plan for the budget year is
approved.
(3) If the adopted budget of a school district is conditionally
approved or disapproved pursuant to paragraph (1), on or before
September October 8, the governing
board of the school district, in conjunction with the county
superintendent of schools, shall review and respond to the
recommendations of the county superintendent of schools at a regular
meeting of the governing board of the school district. The response
shall include any revisions to the adopted budget and other proposed
actions to be taken, if any, as a result of those recommendations.
(e) On or before September October
22, the county superintendent of schools shall provide a list to the
Superintendent identifying all school districts for which budgets may
be disapproved.
(f) (1) The county superintendent of schools shall examine the
revised budget as provided in paragraph (3) of subdivision (d) to
determine whether it (A) complies with the standards and criteria
adopted by the state board pursuant to Section 33127 for application
to final local educational agency budgets, (B) allows the school
district to meet its financial obligations during the fiscal year,
(C) satisfies all conditions established by the county superintendent
of schools in the case of a conditionally approved budget, (D) is
consistent with a financial plan that will enable the school district
to satisfy its multiyear
financial commitments, and, not later than October
November 8, shall approve or disapprove the
revised budget, and (E) whether the revised budget complies with the
requirements of subparagraph (B) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a).
If the county superintendent of schools disapproves the budget, he
or she shall call for the formation of a budget review committee
pursuant to Section 42127.1, unless the governing board of the school
district and the county superintendent of schools agree to waive the
requirement that a budget review committee be formed and the
department approves the waiver after determining that a budget review
committee is not necessary. Upon the grant of a waiver, the county
superintendent of schools immediately has the authority and
responsibility provided in Section 42127.3. Upon approving a waiver
of the budget review committee, the department shall ensure that a
balanced budget is adopted for the school district by
November 30. December 31. If no budget is
adopted by November 30, December 31,
the Superintendent may adopt a budget for the school district. The
Superintendent shall report to the Legislature and the Director of
Finance by December January 10 if any
school district, including a school district that has received a
waiver of the budget review committee process, does not have an
adopted budget by November 30. December 31.
This report shall include the reasons why a budget has not been
adopted by the deadline, the steps being taken to finalize budget
adoption, the date the adopted budget is anticipated, and whether the
Superintendent has or will exercise his or her authority to adopt a
budget for the school district.
(2) Notwithstanding any other law, for the 2014-15 fiscal year and
each fiscal year thereafter, if the county superintendent of schools
disapproves the budget for the sole reason that the county
superintendent of schools has not approved a local control and
accountability plan or an annual update to the local control and
accountability plan filed by the governing board of the school
district pursuant to Section 52070, the county superintendent of
schools shall not call for the formation of a budget review committee
pursuant to Section 42127.1.
(g) Not later than October November
8, the county superintendent of schools shall submit a report to the
Superintendent identifying all school districts for which budgets
have been disapproved or budget review committees waived. The report
shall include a copy of the written response transmitted to each of
those school districts pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (d).
(h) Not later than 45 days after the Governor signs the annual
Budget Act, the school district shall make available for public
review any revisions in revenues and expenditures that it has made to
its budget to reflect the funding made available by that Budget Act.
(i) Any school district for which the county board of education
serves as the governing board of the school district is not subject

actual attendance in 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.
SEC. 63. Section 42238.9 of the
Education Code is repealed.
42238.9. 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.
SEC. 64. Section 42238.95 of the
Education Code is repealed.
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).
SEC. 65. Section 42238.11 of the
Education Code is repealed.
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.
SEC. 66. Section 42238.12 of the
Education Code is repealed.
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

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

52335.2. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall calculate
a revenue limit for each ROC/P in the following manner:
(a) Calculate a base revenue limit per unit of average attendance
for the current fiscal year as follows:
(1) Divide the revenue limit for the prior year computed pursuant
to this section by the annual units of average daily attendance
funded in the prior year pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d).
(2) Increase the amount computed in paragraph (1) by the
percentage inflation adjustment specified in the Budget Act for the
current fiscal year multiplied by the statewide average ROC/P revenue
limit per unit of average daily attendance for the prior fiscal
year.
(b) Calculate a revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance
for program growth by increasing the revenue limit per unit of
average daily attendance for program growth computed pursuant to this
subdivision for the prior fiscal year by the percentage inflation
adjustment specified in the Budget Act for the current fiscal year.
(c) Multiply the amount computed pursuant to subdivision (a) by
the lesser of the ROC/P's annual units of average daily attendance
for the current fiscal year or the ROC/P's annual units of funded
average daily attendance for the prior fiscal year.
(d) Subtract the ROC/P's annual units of funded average daily
attendance for the prior fiscal year from the ROC/P's annual units of
average daily attendance for the current fiscal year and multiply
the difference by the amount computed pursuant to subdivision (b). If
the product computed pursuant to this subdivision is negative, it
shall be deemed to be zero.
(e) Except as provided in Section 52335.3, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction shall apportion to the ROC/P the sum of the
amounts computed pursuant to subdivisions (c) and (d).
(f) The average daily attendance used for purposes of this section
shall not include the average daily attendance in schools receiving
funding pursuant to Section 52324.6.
(g) Any state funds made available as a result of local property
tax revenues deducted pursuant to Section 52335.3 shall be allocated
to each ROC/P in an equal amount per unit of funded average daily
attendance and shall not be included in the calculation of the base
revenue limit made pursuant to subdivision (a) for the subsequent
fiscal year.
(h) Before making the calculations described in subdivisions (c)
and (d) to determine the amount to be apportioned to each ROC/P
pursuant to subdivision (e) for the 1998-99 fiscal year, average
daily attendance for the 1997-98 fiscal year shall be adjusted by a
factor equal to the number one minus the quotient of the number of
units of that ROC/P's 1996-97 average daily attendance for absences
excused pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010, as that
subdivision read on July 1, 1996, divided by that ROC/P's total
1996-97 average daily attendance.
SEC. 113. Section 52335.3 of the
Education Code is repealed.
52335.3. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall deduct
from the amount computed pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section
52335.2 for each ROC/P operated by a county office of education any
local revenue that would otherwise be deemed restricted and not
available for expenditure in the current fiscal year pursuant to
subdivision (e) of Section 2558. Any local revenue so deducted shall
be used by the county office for support of the ROC/P.
SEC. 114. Section 52335.4 of the
Education Code is repealed.
52335.4. The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall determine
each ROC/P's share of funded growth average daily attendance by
computing the sum of subdivisions (a), (b), and (c):
(a) Subtract the ROC/P's annual units of funded average daily
attendance for the prior year from the ROC/P's annual units of funded
average daily attendance for the second prior year. If the amount
computed pursuant to this subdivision is negative, it shall be deemed
to be zero.
(b) Allocate 25 percent of the allowable growth average daily
attendance funded in the Budget Act to low participation ROC/P's,
pursuant to criteria established by the Superintendent of Public
Instruction.
(c) (1) Subtract the statewide sum of the growth average daily
attendance computed pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) from the
allowable growth in average daily attendance funded in the Budget
Act. If the amount computed is negative, it shall be deemed to be
zero.
(2) (A) Calculate the ROC/P's pro rata share of the funded growth
average daily attendance calculated pursuant to paragraph (1), based
on the prior year average daily attendance in grades 9 to 12,
inclusive, for the school
districts served by the ROC/P in relation to the total statewide
prior year average daily attendance in grades 9 to 12, inclusive. For
purposes of the calculation required by this paragraph, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction shall use the average daily
attendance reported for the second principal apportionment of the
prior year.
(B) In calculating the pro rata share of funded growth average
daily attendance, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall
ensure that each ROC/P is provided at least 10 units of allowed
growth average daily attendance pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c).
(d) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that each ROC/P use
its share of funded growth average daily attendance provided pursuant
to this section to serve pupils in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, unless
the governing board or governing boards of the school district or
districts overseeing the ROC/P determine that the needs of pupils in
grades 9 to 12, inclusive, have been met.
(2) It is the intent of the Legislature that, if a determination
is made pursuant to paragraph (1) that the needs of pupils in grades
9 to 12, inclusive, have been met, then the governing board or
governing boards of the school district or districts overseeing the
ROC/P may authorize the ROC/P to use its share of funded growth
average daily attendance provided pursuant to this section to serve
adults.
SEC. 115. Section 52335.5 of the
Education Code is repealed.
52335.5. In the event that the funds appropriated for purposes of
this article are insufficient to fully fund the apportionments
herein authorized, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall
reduce the amounts computed pursuant to Section 52335.2 for each
ROC/P based on equal amounts per unit of average daily attendance,
consistent with the following priorities:
(a) First priority shall be given to fully funding average daily
attendance that is less than or equal to the average daily attendance
funded in the prior fiscal year.
(b) Second priority shall be given to fully funding each ROC/P's
share of funded growth average daily attendance determined pursuant
to Section 52335.4.
(c) Third priority shall be given to funding current year annual
average daily attendance that exceeds the sum of the average daily
attendance specified in subdivisions (a) and (b).
SEC. 116. Section 52335.6 of the
Education Code is repealed.
52335.6. For purposes of allocating allowable growth average
daily attendance to low participation ROC/Ps, the Superintendent of
Public Instruction shall:
(a) Calculate for each ROC/P the prior year average daily
attendance in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, for the school districts
served by the ROC/P.
(b) Divide the funded average daily attendance of the ROC/P for
the prior year by the amount calculated in subdivision (a).
(c) Divide the statewide funded ROC/P average daily attendance for
the prior year by the prior year statewide average daily attendance
in grades 9 to 12, inclusive.
(d) For each ROC/P where the amount calculated in subdivision (b)
is less than the amount calculated in subdivision (c), calculate the
ROC/P's pro rata share of allowable growth daily attendance for low
participation ROC/Ps, based on the average daily attendance needed by
the ROC/P to be at the percentage of participation calculated in
subdivision (c) in relation to the total of average daily attendance
needed by low participation ROC/Ps for each ROC/P to be at the
percentage of participation calculated in subdivision (c).
