	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 429, as amended, DeSaulnier. Before and after school programs:
After School Education and Safety Program: supplemental grants.
   Existing law provides that every school that establishes a before
school program component pursuant to the After School Education and
Safety Program is eligible to receive a 3-year renewable direct
grant, as specified, and is eligible to receive a supplemental grant
to operate the program in excess of 180 schooldays during any
combination of summer, intersession, or vacation periods, as
specified.
   This bill would instead provide that any school that establishes a
program pursuant to the After School Education and Safety Program,
or establishes a program with a before school program component
pursuant to the program, is eligible to receive a supplemental grant
to operate the program in excess of 180 regular schooldays or during
any combination of summer, intersession, or vacation periods for a
maximum of 30% of the total grant amount awarded, per  school
 year, to the school, as specified. The bill would allow
supplemental grantees to change the location of the program and to
open eligibility for the program, as specified. The bill would also
require a supplemental grantee operating a 6-hour extended day
program to submit, for prior approval by the State Department of
Education, a revised program plan, as specified.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 8483.75 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   8483.75.  (a) (1) (A) Each school that establishes a before school
program component pursuant to Section 8483.1 is eligible to receive
a three year renewable direct grant, that shall be awarded in three
one-year increments and is subject to semiannual attendance reporting
and renewal as required by the department. Before school programs
established pursuant to this section shall be subject to the same
reporting and accountability provisions described in subparagraph (A)
of paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 8483.7.
   (B) The maximum total grant amount awarded annually pursuant to
this paragraph shall be thirty-seven thousand five hundred dollars
($37,500) for each regular school year for each elementary school and
forty-nine thousand dollars ($49,000) for each regular school year
for each middle or junior high school.
   (C) The Superintendent shall determine the total annual direct
grant amount for which a site is eligible based on a formula of five
dollars ($5) per pupil per day that the program plans to serve, with
a maximum total grant of twenty-five dollars ($25) per projected
pupil per week.
   (2) For large schools, the maximum total grant amounts described
in paragraph (1) may be increased based on the following formulas, up
to a maximum amount of twice the respective limits specified in
paragraph (1):
   (A) For elementary schools, multiply seventy-five dollars ($75) by
the number of pupils enrolled at the schoolsite for the normal
schoolday program that exceeds 600.
   (B) For middle schools, multiply seventy-five dollars ($75) by the
number of pupils enrolled at the schoolsite for the normal schoolday
program that exceeds 900.
   (3) Each program shall provide an amount of cash or in-kind local
funds equal to not less than one-third of the total grant from the
school district, governmental agencies, community organizations, or
the private sector. Facilities or space usage may fulfill not more
than 25 percent of the required local contribution.
   (4) (A) The department may award up to 125 percent of the maximum
total grant amount for an individual school, so long as the maximum
total grant amount for all school programs administered by the
program grantee is not exceeded.
   (B) A program grantee that is awarded funds pursuant to
subparagraph (A) shall have an established waiting list for
enrollment, and may receive funds only from another school program
that has met a minimum of 70 percent of its attendance goal.
   (b) The administrator of a program established pursuant to this
article may supplement, but not supplant, existing funding for before
school programs with grant funds awarded pursuant to this article.
State categorical funds for remedial education activities shall not
be used to make the required contribution of local funds for those
before school programs.
   (c) Up to 15 percent of the initial year's grant amount for each
grant recipient may be utilized for startup costs. Under no
circumstance shall funding for startup costs result in an increase in
the grant recipient's total funding above the approved grant amount.

   (d) For each year of the grant, the department shall award the
total grant amount for that year not later than 30 days after the
date the grantee accepts the grant.
  SEC. 2.  Section 8483.76 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   8483.76.  (a) A school that establishes a program pursuant to
Section 8483.7 or 8483.75 is eligible to receive a supplemental grant
to operate the program in excess of 180 regular schooldays or during
any combination of summer, intersession, or vacation periods for a
maximum of 30 percent of the total grant amount awarded, per school
year, to the school.
   (b) An existing after school supplemental grantee may operate a
three-hour or a six-hour per day program, but is not eligible to
receive additional grant funds  for the purpose of operating a
six-hour program  pursuant to this section. If the grantee
operates a six-hour per day program, the target attendance level for
the purpose of grant reductions pursuant to subparagraph (A) of
paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 8483.7 shall be computed
as if the grant award were based upon the lesser of fifteen dollars
 ($15.00)   ($15)  per day of pupil
attendance or 30 percent of the total grant awarded to the school per
school year.
   (c) A supplemental grantee that operates a program pursuant to
this section may change the location of the program to address the
needs of pupils and school closures. The program may be conducted at
an offsite location or at an alternate schoolsite. The supplemental
grantee shall give notice to the department of the change of location
and shall include a plan to provide safe transportation pursuant to
Section 8484.6.
   (d) A supplemental grantee that operates a program pursuant to
this section may open eligibility to every pupil attending a school
in the district. If the program is conducted at a schoolsite,
priority for enrollment shall be given to the pupils  in the
attendance area of   enrolled in  the school.
   (e) A supplemental grantee operating a six-hour per day program
shall provide for each needy pupil  at least  one
nutritionally adequate free or reduced-price meal during each program
day  pursuant to Section 49550  .
   (f) A supplemental grantee that operates a six-hour extended day
program is required to submit, for prior approval by the department,
a revised program plan that includes all of the following:
   (1) A plan for provision of the free or reduced-price meal
required by subdivision (e).
   (2) An attendance and early release policy for the program that is
consistent with the local educational agency's early release policy
for the regular schoolday.
