- Session Year: 2015-2016
- House: Senate
- Latest Version Date: 2016-02-08
Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified. Existing law requires funding pursuant to the local control funding formula to include, in addition to a base grant, supplemental and concentration grant add-ons that are based on the percentage of pupils who are English learners, foster youth, or eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as specified, served by the county superintendent of schools, school district, or charter school. Existing law requires the State Board of Education to adopt regulations that govern the expenditure of funds apportioned pursuant to the supplemental and concentration grant add-ons.
This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision requiring the state board to adopt regulations that govern the expenditure of funds apportioned pursuant to the supplemental and concentration grant add-ons.
(a)On or before January 31, 2014, the state board shall adopt regulations that govern the expenditure of funds apportioned on the basis of the number and concentration of unduplicated pupils pursuant to Sections 2574, 2575, 42238.02, and 42238.03. The adopted regulations shall include, but are not limited to, provisions that do all of the following:
(1)Require a school district, county office of education, or charter school to increase or improve services for unduplicated pupils in proportion to the increase in funds apportioned on the basis of the number and concentration of unduplicated pupils in the school district, county office of education, or charter school.
(2)Authorize a school district, county office of education, or charter school to use funds apportioned on the basis of the number of unduplicated pupils for schoolwide purposes, or, for school districts, districtwide purposes, for county offices of education, countywide purposes, or for charter schools, charterwide purposes, in a manner that is no more restrictive than the restrictions provided for set forth in Title I of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 6301, 6301 et seq.).
(b)The state board may adopt emergency regulations for purposes of this section.
