(1)Existing law, the Arts and Music in SchoolsFunding Guarantee and Accountability Act, an initiative measure approved by the voters as Proposition 28 at the November 8, 2022, statewide general election, provides a minimum source of annual funding to K12 public schools, including public charter schools, to supplement arts education programs for pupils attending those schools, as specified. Existing law requires the continuous appropriation for these purposes, without regard to fiscal years, from the General Fund to the State Department of Education, of an amount equal to 1% of the total state and local revenues received by local educational agencies in the preceding fiscal year that are included in the calculation of the minimum funding guarantee established by the California Constitution, as provided. Existing law requires funds to be allocated by the department to local educational agencies based on a formula that includes, among other things, a calculation of 30% of the total funds appropriated for the above-described purposes multiplied by the schools enrollment of economically disadvantaged pupils in the prior fiscal year, divided by the total statewide enrollment of economically disadvantaged pupils in the prior fiscal year of local educational agencies, as provided. Under existing law, a school serving preschool pupils enrollment of economically disadvantaged pupils equals the preschools enrollment times the same percentage of pupils that are economically disadvantaged at the closest elementary schoolsite within the preschools local educational agency, if applicable. Existing law defines a preschool pupil, for these purposes, as a pupil enrolled in the California state preschool program or a preschool for pupils with exceptional needs in a local educational agency. Existing law authorizes funds allocated to schoolsites to be available for use for up to 3 fiscal years after which the funds revert to the department, as provided. Proposition 28 authorizes the Legislature to amend its provisions by a 2/3 vote of each house if the amendment furthers its purposes.
This bill would revise and recast the provisions of Proposition 28 by, among other things, defining a preschool pupil as a pupil enrolled in the California state preschool program or a pupil 3 years of age through 5 years of age enrolled in a preschool program for pupils with exceptional needs in a local educational agency. The bill would deem the enrollment of economically disadvantaged preschool pupils to instead equal the enrollment of preschool pupils in the prior fiscal year times the same percentage of pupils that are economically disadvantaged at the elementary schoolsite with the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged pupils in the prior year within the preschools local educational agency. If there is no elementary school within the preschools local educational agency, the enrollment of economically disadvantaged preschool pupils would instead be deemed to equal the enrollment of preschools pupils in the prior fiscal year times the same percentage of pupils that are economically disadvantaged at the elementary schoolsite with the highest percentage of economically disadvantaged pupils in the prior year within the preschools county. The bill would also require unexpended funds to revert to the department, including in the event of a closure of a charter school, as provided. The bill would require local educational agencies to report to the department, by October 1, the amount of unexpended funds following the conclusion of the 3-year-expenditure period, and would authorize the department to withhold the release of a local educational agencys allocation for the fiscal year in which the expenditure report is due until that local educational agency has submitted the expenditure report, as provided. The bill would declare that these provisions further the purposes of Proposition 28.
(2)This bill would, commencing with the 202324 fiscal year, and for each fiscal year thereafter, appropriate $148,000 from the General Fund to the department for the maintenance and support of the Local Control and Accountability Plan Electronic Template System and a specified database and reporting interface, as provided.
(3)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.
(4)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 2023.This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to enact statutory changes changes, relating to the Budget Act of 2023.
