	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 1189, Aanestad.  School finance.
   Existing law provides that a unified school district that meets
certain criteria is eligible to receive apportionments pursuant to
the schedules for a necessary small school and a necessary small high
school, as specified.  Under existing law, this provision becomes
inoperative on July 1, 2002, and, as of January 1, 2003, is repealed.

   This bill would extend this provision to July 1,  2004, and the
date on which the provision would be repealed to January 1,  2005.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 42285.3 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   42285.3.  (a) Notwithstanding subdivision (b) of Section 42280 or
any other provision of law, a unified school district that is the
only school district in a county, that has received more than two
million seven hundred thousand dollars ($2,700,000) in federal Forest
Reserve funds in the 1992-93 school year and less than one million
three hundred thousand dollars ($1,300,000) in federal Forest Reserve
funds in the 1996-97 school year, and that has fewer than 4,501
units of average daily attendance in the 1997-98 school year or in
subsequent school years shall be eligible to receive apportionments
pursuant to the schedules for a "necessary small school" and a
"necessary small high school," as set forth in this article, for up
to the total number of schools in the district that would have met
the criteria for classification as a necessary small school or a
necessary small high school in the 1996-97 fiscal year, if the
district had fewer than 2,501 units of average daily attendance in
the 1996-97 fiscal year, except that this section shall not apply in
any school year in which an otherwise eligible school district
receives more than two million dollars ($2,000,000) in federal Forest
Reserve funds.
   (b) A school district that receives apportionments pursuant to the
schedules for a necessary small school and a necessary small high
school under subdivision (a) shall report to the State Department of
Education and the Department of Finance by July 1, 2001, concerning
the district's plan to address the district's need for additional
funding when this section is repealed.
   (c)  This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2004, and,
as of January 1, 2005, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute
that is enacted before January 1, 2005, deletes or extends the dates
on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.
