(3)(A)Commencing with the 201314 fiscal year, a county office of education shall review and validate certified aggregate English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil data for school districts and charter schools under its jurisdiction to ensure the data is reported accurately. The Superintendent shall provide each county office of education with appropriate access to school district and charter school data reports in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System for purposes of ensuring data reporting accuracy.
(B)The Controller shall include the instructions necessary to enforce paragraph (2) in the audit guide required by Section 14502.1. The instructions shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, procedures for determining if the English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil counts are consistent with the school districts or charter schools English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil records.
(4)The Superintendent shall make the calculations pursuant to this section using the data submitted by local educational agencies, including charter schools, through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.

(C)For the 201516 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, divide the sum of unduplicated pupils for the current fiscal year and the two prior fiscal years by the sum of the total pupil enrollment for the current fiscal year and the two prior fiscal years.
(D)(i)For purposes of the quotients determined pursuant to subparagraphs (B) and (C), the Superintendent shall use a school districts or charter schools enrollment of unduplicated pupils and total pupil enrollment in the 201415 fiscal year instead of the enrollment of unduplicated pupils and total pupil enrollment in the 201314 fiscal year if doing so would yield an overall greater percentage of unduplicated pupils.
(ii)It is the intent of the Legislature to review each school district and charter schools enrollment of unduplicated pupils for the 201314 and 201415 fiscal years and provide one-time funding, if necessary, for a school district or charter school with higher enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the 201415 fiscal year as compared to the 201314 fiscal year.
(6)The data used to determine the percentage of unduplicated pupils shall be final once that data is no longer used in the current fiscal year calculation of the percentage of unduplicated pupils.
