SB 959: Average daily attendance: emergencies: major safety hazard.

For purposes of state apportionments based on average daily attendance, as provided, if the average daily attendance of a school district, county office of education, or charter school has been materially decreased during a fiscal year because of a specified emergency, including, among others, the imminence of a major safety hazard as determined by a local law enforcement agency, existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to estimate the average daily attendance in a manner that credits to the school district, county office of education, or charter school approximately the total average daily attendance that would have been credited to the school district, county office of education, or charter school had the emergency not occurred.

This bill, for the above-described purposes, would additionally allow a local fire agency to make a determination of the imminence of a major safety hazard.

This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
