LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

SB 69, as amended, Liu. School finance: new pupil funding formula.

(1) Existing law establishes the public school system in this state, and, among other things, provides for the establishment of county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools throughout the state and for their provision of instruction at the public elementary and secondary schools these local educational agencies maintain. Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires funding for county superintendents of schools and school districts to be calculated pursuant to a revenue limit, as specified, and requires funding for charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a general-purpose entitlement, except as provided, and requires the revenue limit and general-purpose entitlement to be composed of, among other things, state aid and certain local revenues.

This bill, commencing in the 2014-15 fiscal year, would revise and recast the provisions related to the public school financing system by requiring state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools that previously received a general-purpose entitlement, to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified.

(2) Existing law requires a county board of education, a governing board of a school district, and a governing body of a charter school to annually adopt a budget, as specified.

This bill would require a county board of education, a governing board of a school district, and a governing body of a charter school that receives its funding directly, as specified, to annually adopt or revise a local control and accountability plan that aligns with the annual budget and contains certain elements and that, among other things, was developed in consultation with teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, parents, and pupils. By requiring county boards of education and school districts to annually adopt or revise a local control and accountability plan, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(3) Existing law requires the State Department of Education to ensure that the California School Information Services system meets the needs of pupils in foster care and includes disaggregated data on pupils in foster care.

This bill would instead require the department to enter into a memorandum of understanding with the State Department of Social Services for purposes of sharing specified information related to pupils under supervision of the juvenile court. The bill would also require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to submit a report related to pupils under supervision of the juvenile court, as specified, to the Legislature and the Governor by February 15 of each even-numbered year.

(4) This bill would, on or before March 1, 2014, require the Legislative Analyst’s Office to submit recommendations to the fiscal committees of both houses of the Legislature regarding revisions to the methods of funding pupil transportation, as specified.

(5) This bill would make conforming changes, correct cross-references, and make other nonsubstantive changes.

(6) This bill would become operative only if specified legislation is enacted in the 2013-14 Regular Session.

(7) The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement.

This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to these statutory provisions.

Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes. State-mandated local program: yes.

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

P3    1

SECTION 1.  

The Legislature finds and declares all of the
2following:

3(a) The local control funding formula proposal, as specified in
4Assembly Bill 88 of the 2013-14 Regular Session, as amended
5April 3, 2013, attempts to increase local flexibility, make funding
6more equitable and transparent, and devote greater resources to
7children who come to school with greater challenges.

8(b) The Legislature supports the underlying goal expressed in
9the local control funding formula proposal of providing additional
10resources to support improved educational outcomes for
11disadvantaged pupils. However, the Legislature has concerns
P4    1related to a number of its provisions, in particular the inadequate
2level of funding proposed for statewide pupil base grants.
3Additional concerns include, but are not limited to, proposed
4concentration grants, incomplete accountability provisions,
5inadequate data collection, lack of structure for high school grade
6span funding, perpetuation of historically inequitable funding
7allocations, and the timing for implementation of a new formula.

8(c) The local control funding formula proposal encompasses
9scores of repeals of sections, articles, and chapters of the Education
10Code, many of which could have unintended consequences. Such
11repeals require more careful consideration than the compressed
12annual Budget Act implementation timelines allow.

13(d) It is the intent of the Legislature to consider a new funding
14formula through a funding process that affords greater opportunity
15for analysis, amendment, and public input on a far reaching
16proposal that will have lasting impacts on California schools and
17the pupils they serve.

16(4) For the 2015-16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
17adjust each of the amounts provided in the prior year pursuant to
18paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) by the percentage change in the annual
19average value of the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local
20Government Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States,
21as published by the United States Department of Commerce for
22the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal

10juvenile court school operated by a county superintendent of
11schools shall not be included in any enrollment counts.

12(3) Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year, a county
13superintendent of schools annually shall report the enrollment of
14unduplicated pupils, pupils classified as English learners, pupils
15eligible for free and reduced-price meals, and foster children in
16schools operated by the county superintendent of schools to the
17Superintendent using the California Longitudinal Pupil
18Achievement Data System. The Superintendent shall make the
19calculations pursuant to this section using the California
20Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.

21(c) Compute an alternative education grant equal to the sum of
22the following:

23(1) For the 2014-15 fiscal year, a base grant of eleven thousand
24forty-five dollars ($11,045). For the 2015-16 fiscal year and each
25fiscal year thereafter, adjust the base grant provided in the prior
26year by the percentage change in the annual average value of the
27Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local Government Purchases
28of Goods and Services for the United States, as published by the
29United States Department of Commerce for the 12-month period
30ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. This percentage
31change shall be determined using the latest data available as of
32May 10 of the preceding fiscal year compared with the annual
33average value of the same deflator for the 12-month period ending
34in the third quarter of the second preceding fiscal year, using the

13shall be posted at least 72 hours before the public hearing and shall
14include the location where the budget will be available for public
15inspection.

16(A) For the 2011-12 fiscal year, notwithstanding any of the
17standards and criteria adopted by the state board pursuant to Section
1833127, each school district budget shall project the same level of
19revenue per unit of average daily attendance as it received in the
202010-11 fiscal year and shall maintain staffing and program levels
21commensurate with that level.

22(B) For the 2011-12 fiscal year, the school district shall not be
23required to demonstrate that it is able to meet its financial
24obligations for the two subsequent fiscal years.

25(2) Adopt a budget. Not later than five days after that adoption
26or by July 1, whichever occurs first, the governing board of the
27school district shall file that budget with the county superintendent
28of schools. That budget and supporting data shall be maintained
29and made available for public review. If the governing board of
30the school district does not want all or a portion of the property
31tax requirement levied for the purpose of making payments for the
32interest and redemption charges on indebtedness as described in
33paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 1 of Article
34XIII A of the California Constitution, the budget shall include a
35statement of the amount or portion for which a levy shall not be
36made.

37(b) The county superintendent of schools may accept changes
38in any statement included in the budget, pursuant to subdivision
39(a), of the amount or portion for which a property tax levy shall
40not be made. The county superintendent of schools or the county
P48   1auditor shall compute the actual amounts to be levied on the
2property tax rolls of the school district for purposes that exceed
3apportionments to the school district pursuant to Chapter 6
4(commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the
5Revenue and Taxation Code. Each school district shall provide all
6data needed by the county superintendent of schools or the county
7auditor to compute the amounts. On or before August 15, the
8county superintendent of schools shall transmit the amounts
9computed to the county auditor who shall compute the tax rates
10necessary to produce the amounts. On or before September 1, the
11county auditor shall submit the rate computed to the board of
12supervisors for adoption.

13(c) The county superintendent of schools shall do all of the
14following:

15(1) Examine the adopted budget to determine whether it
16complies with the standards and criteria adopted by the state board
17pursuant to Section 33127 for application to final local educational
18agency budgets. The county superintendent of schools shall
19identify, if necessary, technical corrections that are required to be
20made to bring the budget into compliance with those standards
21and criteria.

22(2) Determine whether the adopted budget will allow the school
23district to meet its financial obligations during the fiscal year and
24is consistent with a financial plan that will enable the school district
25to satisfy its multiyear financial commitments. In addition to his
26or her own analysis of the budget of each school district, the county
27superintendent of schools shall review and consider studies, reports,
28evaluations, or audits of the school district that were commissioned
29by the school district, the county superintendent of schools, the
30Superintendent, and state control agencies and that contain
31evidence that the school district is showing fiscal distress under
32the standards and criteria adopted in Section 33127 or that contain
33a finding by an external reviewer that more than 3 of the 15 most
34common predictors of a school district needing intervention, as
35determined by the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management
36Assistance Team, are present. The county superintendent of schools
37shall either conditionally approve or disapprove a budget that does
38not provide adequate assurance that the school district will meet
39its current and future obligations and resolve any problems
P49   1identified in studies, reports, evaluations, or audits described in
2this paragraph.

3(d) On or before August 15, the county superintendent of schools
4shall approve, conditionally approve, or disapprove the adopted
5budget for each school district. If a school district does not submit
6a budget to the county superintendent of schools, the county
7superintendent of schools shall develop, at school district expense,
8a budget for that school district by September 15 and transmit that
9budget to the governing board of the school district. The budget
10prepared by the county superintendent of schools shall be deemed
11adopted, unless the county superintendent of schools approves any
12modifications made by the governing board of the school district.
13The approved budget shall be used as a guide for the school
14district’s priorities. The Superintendent shall review and certify
15the budget approved by the county. If, pursuant to the review
16conducted pursuant to subdivision (c), the county superintendent
17of schools determines that the adopted budget for a school district

19shall conditionally approve or disapprove the budget and, not later
20than August 15, transmit to the governing board of the school
21district, in writing, his or her recommendations regarding revision
22of the budget and the reasons for those recommendations,
23including, but not limited to, the amounts of any budget
24adjustments needed before he or she can approve that budget. The
25county superintendent of schools may assign a fiscal adviser to
26assist the school district to develop a budget in compliance with
27those revisions. In addition, the county superintendent of schools
28may appoint a committee to examine and comment on the
29superintendent’s review and recommendations, subject to the
30requirement that the committee report its findings to the county
31superintendent of schools no later than August 20. For the 2011-12
32fiscal year, notwithstanding any of the standards and criteria
33adopted by the state board pursuant to Section 33127, the county
34superintendent of schools, as a condition on approval of a school
35district budget, shall not require a school district to project a lower
36level of revenue per unit of average daily attendance than it
37received in the 2010-11 fiscal year nor require the school district
38to demonstrate that it is able to meet its financial obligations for
39the two subsequent fiscal years.

12superintendent of schools shall review the disapproval and the
13recommendations of the county superintendent of schools regarding
14revision of the budget at the public hearing. The revised budget
15and supporting data shall be maintained and made available for
16public review.

18standards and criteria adopted by the state board pursuant to Section
1933127, each school district budget shall project the same level of
20revenue per unit of average daily attendance as it received in the
212010-11 fiscal year and shall maintain staffing and program levels
22commensurate with that level.

23(2) For the 2011-12 fiscal year, the school district shall not be
24required to demonstrate that it is able to meet its financial
25obligations for the two subsequent fiscal years.

26(f) On or before September 22, the county superintendent of
27schools shall provide a list to the Superintendent identifying all
28school districts for which budgets may be disapproved.

29(g) The county superintendent of schools shall examine the

31standards and criteria adopted by the state board pursuant to Section
3233127 for application to final local educational agency budgets,
33(2) allows the school district to meet its financial obligations during
34the fiscal year, (3) satisfies all conditions established by the county

39revised budget. If the county superintendent of schools disapproves
40the budget, he or she shall call for the formation of a budget review

2of the school district and the county superintendent of schools
3agree to waive the requirement that a budget review committee be

23of the school district and the county superintendent of schools
24agree to waive the requirement that a budget review committee be

16(k) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2014, and,
17as of January 1, 2015, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute,

P64   1(a) Phase in implementation of the local control funding formula,
2as specified in Assembly Bill 88 of the 2013-14 Regular Session,
3as amended April 3, 2013, in a manner and on a timeline that
4allows the state to restore local educational agency funding levels
5to those that existed before state budget cuts that were imposed
6starting in the 2008-09 fiscal year.

7(b) Redirect the dollar amounts that have been proposed for
8concentration grants to instead increase both base grants and
9supplemental grants, in proportions to be determined.

8(i) The school district demonstrates that at the end of a three-year
9period the school district will experience a 10-percent reduction
10in the amount of funding that the school district would otherwise
11have received from state apportionments, funding received pursuant
12to the California State Lottery Act of 1984 (Chapter 12.5
13(commencing with Section 8880) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the
14Government Code), and funding received pursuant to Title VIII
15of Public Law 103-382, as a result of the loss of pupils related to
16the closure of a facility operated by a branch of the United States
17Armed Forces.

18(ii) The fiscal crisis and management assistance team established
19pursuant to Section 42127.8 has reviewed the school district’s
20finances and has found that the school district has taken significant
21steps to reduce expenditure.

22(C) The school district experiences a decline in the number of
23units of average daily attendance in excess of 5 percent of its total
24average daily attendance and the Director of Finance determines
25that the school district is likely, within eight years of that decline,
26to maintain a number of units of average daily attendance that is
27equivalent to the number of units of average daily attendance
28maintained by the school district prior to the decline.
29Notwithstanding subdivision (b), loan repayments shall commence
30no later than the fourth year after the base year or at a later time,
31as determined by the Director of Finance.

32(2) For purposes of this section, the year preceding a decline
33shall be the base year.

34(b) In the second year after the base year, the district average
35daily attendance pursuant to Section 42238.5 may, if the district
36chooses, be increased by 75 percent of the difference between the
37base year units of average daily attendance and the units of average
38daily attendance in the first year of decline. In the third year after
39the base year, the district average daily attendance pursuant to
40Section 42238.5 may, if the district chooses, be increased by 50
P81   1percent of the difference between the base year units of average
2daily attendance and the units of average daily attendance in the
3first year of decline. The amount of money represented by these
4increases shall be considered a loan to the school district. Loan
5repayments shall commence no later than the fourth year after the
6base year.

7(c) (1) The Superintendent of Public Instruction, in consultation
8with a school district subject to this section, shall determine a

11interest charged at a rate based on the most current investment rate
12of the Pooled Money Investment Account in the General Fund as
13of the date of the disbursement of funds to the school district.

14(2) Upon written notification by the Superintendent of Public
15Instruction that the school district has not made one or more of the
16payments required by the schedule established pursuant to
17paragraph (1), the Controller shall withhold from Section A of the
18State School Fund the defaulted payment which shall not exceed
19the amount of any apportionment entitlement of the district to
20moneys in Section A of the State School Fund. In that regard, the
21Controller shall withhold the amount of any payment made under
22this subdivision, including reimbursement of the Controller’s
23administrative costs as determined under a schedule approved by
24the California Debt Advisory Commission, from subsequent
25apportionments to the school district from Section A of the State
26School Fund.

27(3) Any apportionments made by the Controller pursuant to
28paragraph (2) shall be deemed to be an allocation to the school
29district for purposes of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI
30of the California Constitution, and for purposes of Chapter 2
31(commencing with Section 41200) of Part 24.

32(d) In no event shall the adjustment provided by this section
33cause the apportionment to a school district to exceed the amount
34that would otherwise be calculated for apportionment to the district
35pursuant to Sections 42238 and 42238.1.

36(e) This section does not apply to a school district that
37experiences a decline in enrollment as a result of a school district
38reorganization pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section
3935500) of Part 21 or any other law.

23attendance for the 1996-97 fiscal year as follows:

24(A) For each school district that had its revenue limit funding
25for the 1996-97 fiscal year calculated on the basis of its 1996-97
26average daily attendance pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision
27(a) of Section 42238.5, the revised revenue limit per unit of average
28daily attendance shall equal the adjusted total base revenue limit
29determined pursuant to paragraph (2) divided by the adjusted
30average daily attendance determined pursuant to subparagraph (A)
31of paragraph (3).

32(B) For each school district that had its revenue limit funding
33for the 1996-97 fiscal year calculated on the basis of its 1995-96
34average daily attendance pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision
35(a) of Section 42238.5, the revised revenue limit per unit of average
36daily attendance shall equal the adjusted total base revenue limit
37determined pursuant to paragraph (2) divided by the adjusted
38average daily attendance determined pursuant to subparagraphs
39(B), (C), and (D) of paragraph (3).

17necessary small schools and attendance for excused absences
18pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1,

4school district, the amount of absences excused in one or more
5district programs in the 1996-97 fiscal year pursuant to subdivision
6(b) of Section 46010 as it read on July 1, 1996, was significantly
7lower than it would ordinarily have been in comparison to the

4contribution rates, excluding rate changes due to the direct transfer
5of the state-mandated portion of the employer contributions to the
6Public Employees’ Retirement System, through the 1994-95 fiscal
7year. The reduction shall be calculated for each school district as
8follows:

9(a) Determine the amount of employer contributions that would
10have been made in the 1994-95 fiscal year if the applicable Public
11Employees’ Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect
12immediately prior to the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes

15Superintendent shall allocate an advance payment of this grant as
16early as possible, but no later than October 31, 2005, based on
17prior year average daily attendance as determined at the second
18principal apportionment or, for a charter school in its first year of
19operation that commences instruction on or before September 30,
202005, on estimates of average daily attendance for the current fiscal
21year determined pursuant to Section 47652.

22(b) (1) For the 2006-07 fiscal year, the categorical block grant
23allocated by the Superintendent for charter schools shall be four
24hundred dollars ($400) per unit of charter school average daily
25 attendance as determined at the second principal apportionment
26for the 2006-07 fiscal year. This amount shall be supplemented
27by the amount calculated in paragraph (2).

28(2) The statewide average amount, as computed by the
29Superintendent, of funding per economic impact aid-eligible pupil
30count received by school districts in the current fiscal year,
31pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 54020) of Chapter
321 of Part 29, shall be multiplied by the number of economic impact
33aid-eligible pupils enrolled in the charter school. The resulting
34amount, if greater than zero, shall not be less than the minimum
35amount of economic impact aid funding to which a school district
36of similar size would be entitled pursuant to Section 54022.

37(c) (1) For the 2007-08 fiscal year, the categorical block grant
38allocated by the Superintendent for charter schools shall be five
39 hundred dollars ($500) per unit of charter school average daily
40attendance as determined at the second principal apportionment
P136  1for the 2007-08 fiscal year. For each fiscal year thereafter, this
2per unit amount shall be adjusted for the cost-of-living adjustment,
3as determined pursuant to Section 42238.1, for that fiscal year.
4This amount shall be supplemented in the 2007-08 fiscal year and
5each fiscal year thereafter by the amount calculated in paragraph
6(2).

7(2) The statewide average amount, as computed by the
8Superintendent, of funding per economic impact aid-eligible pupil
9count received by school districts in the current year, pursuant to

1129, shall be multiplied by the number of economic impact
12aid-eligible pupils enrolled in the charter school. The resulting
13 amount, if greater than zero, shall not be less than the minimum
14amount of economic impact aid funding to which a school district
15of similar size would be entitled pursuant to Section 54022.

16(d) It is the intent of the Legislature to fully fund the categorical
17block grant for charter schools as specified in this section and to
18appropriate additional funding that may be needed in order to
19compensate for unanticipated increases in average daily attendance
20and counts of economic impact aid-eligible pupils, pursuant to
21Article 2 (commencing with Section 54020) of Chapter 1 of Part
2229, in charter schools. In any fiscal year in which the department
23identifies a deficiency in the categorical block grant, the department
24shall identify the available balance for programs that count towards
25meeting the requirements of Section 8 of Article XVI of the
26California Constitution and have unobligated funds for the year.
27On or before July 1, the department shall provide the Department
28of Finance with a list of those programs and their available
29balances, and the amount of the deficiency, if any, in the categorical
30block grant. Within 45 days of the receipt of a notification of
31deficiency, the Director of Finance shall verify the amount of the
32deficiency in the categorical block grant and direct the Controller
33to transfer an amount, equal to the lesser of the amount available
34or the amount needed to fully fund the categorical block grant,
35from those programs to the categorical block grant. The Department
36of Finance shall notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee
37within 30 days of any transfer made pursuant to this section.

38(e) Commencing October 1, 2007, the Legislative Analyst’s
39Office shall triennially convene a work group to review,
40commencing with appropriations proposed for the 2008-09 fiscal
P137  1year, the appropriateness of the funding level provided by the
2categorical block grant established in this section.

3(f) Categorical block grant funding may be used for any purpose
4determined by the governing body of the charter school.

5(g) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2013.

6(h) On or after July 1, 2014, this section shall become
7inoperative if the categorical programs funded through the
8categorical block grant described in this section are instead
9included within, or funded by, the local control funding formula
10pursuant to Section 42238.02, as implemented by Section 42238.03.

52052.  

(a) (1) The Superintendent, with approval of the state
22board, shall develop an Academic Performance Index (API), to
23measure the performance of schools, especially the academic
24performance of pupils.

25(2) A school shall demonstrate comparable improvement in
26academic achievement as measured by the API by all numerically
27significant pupil subgroups at the school, including:

28(A) Ethnic subgroups.

29(B) Socioeconomically disadvantaged pupils.

30(C) English learners.

31(D) Pupils with disabilities.

32(E) Pupils in foster care.

33(3) (A) For purposes of this section, except as specified in
34subparagraph (B), (C), or (D), a numerically significant pupil
35subgroup is one that meets both of the following criteria:

36(i) The subgroup consists of at least 30 pupils each of whom
37has a valid test score.

38(ii) The subgroup constitutes at least 15 percent of the total
39population of pupils at a school who have valid test scores.

P139  1(B) If a subgroup does not constitute 15 percent of the total
2population of pupils at a school who have valid test scores, the
3subgroup may constitute a numerically significant pupil subgroup
4if it has at least 100 valid test scores.

5(C) For a subgroup of pupils in foster care, a numerically
6significant pupil subgroup is a subgroup that consists of at least
715 pupils in foster care. For purposes of this sections “pupil in
8foster care” means a pupil who is under the jurisdiction of the
9juvenile court pursuant to Section 300, 601, or 602 of the Welfare
10and Institutions Code.

11(D) For a school with an API score that is based on no fewer
12than 11 and no more than 99 pupils with valid test scores,
13numerically significant pupil subgroups shall be defined by the
14Superintendent, with approval by the state board.

15(4) (A) The API shall consist of a variety of indicators currently
16reported to the department, including, but not limited to, the results
17of the achievement test administered pursuant to Section 60640,
18attendance rates for pupils in elementary schools, middle schools,
19and secondary schools, and the graduation rates for pupils in
20secondary schools.

21(B) The Superintendent, with the approval of the state board,
22may also incorporate into the API the rates at which pupils
23successfully promote from one grade to the next in middle school
24and high school, and successfully matriculate from middle school
25to high school.

26(C) Graduation rates for pupils in secondary schools shall be
27calculated for the API as follows:

28(i) Four-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the
29number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school
30year, which is considered to be three school years after the pupils
31entered grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the
32total calculated in clause (ii).

33(ii) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in
34the school year three school years before the current school year,
35plus the number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating
36at the end of the current school year between the school year that
37was three school years before the current school year and the date
38of graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the
39school between the school year that was three school years before
40the current school year and the date of graduation who were
P140  1members of the class that is graduating at the end of the current
2school year.

3(iii) Five-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the
4number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school
5year, which is considered to be four school years after the pupils
6entered grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the
7total calculated in clause (iv).

8(iv) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in
9the school year four years before the current school year, plus the
10number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating at the
11end of the current school year between the school year that was
12 four school years before the current school year and the date of
13graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the
14school between the school year that was four years before the
15current school year and the date of graduation who were members
16of the class that is graduating at the end of the current school year.

17(v) Six-year graduation rates shall be calculated by taking the
18number of pupils who graduated on time for the current school
19year, which is considered to be five school years after the pupils
20entered grade 9 for the first time, and dividing that number by the
21total calculated in clause (vi).

22(vi) The number of pupils entering grade 9 for the first time in
23the school year five years before the current school year, plus the
24number of pupils who transferred into the class graduating at the
25end of the current school year between the school year that was
26five school years before the current school year and the date of
27graduation, less the number of pupils who transferred out of the
28school between the school year that was five years before the
29current school year and the date of graduation who were members
30of the class that is graduating at the end of the current school year.

31(D) The inclusion of five- and six-year graduation rates for
32pupils in secondary schools shall meet the following requirements:

33(i) Schools shall be granted one-half the credit in their API
34scores for graduating pupils in five years that they are granted for
35graduating pupils in four years.

36(ii) Schools shall be granted one-quarter the credit in their API
37scores for graduating pupils in six years that they are granted for
38graduating pupils in four years.

39(iii) Notwithstanding clauses (i) and (ii), schools shall be granted
40full credit in their API scores for graduating in five or six years a
P141  1pupil with disabilities who graduates in accordance with his or her
2individualized education program.

3(E) The pupil data collected for the API that comes from the
4achievement test administered pursuant to Section 60640 and the
5high school exit examination administered pursuant to Section
660851, when fully implemented, shall be disaggregated by special
7education status, English learners, socioeconomic status, gender,
8and ethnic group. Only the test scores of pupils who were counted
9as part of the enrollment in the annual data collection of the
10California Basic Educational Data System for the current fiscal
11year and who were continuously enrolled during that year may be
12included in the test result reports in the API score of the school.

13(F) (i) Commencing with the baseline API calculation in 2016,
14and for each year thereafter, results of the achievement test and
15other tests specified in subdivision (b) shall constitute no more
16than 60 percent of the value of the index for secondary schools.

17(ii)  In addition to the elements required by this paragraph, the
18Superintendent, with approval of the state board, may incorporate
19into the index for secondary schools valid, reliable, and stable
20measures of pupil preparedness for postsecondary education and
21career.

22(G) Results of the achievement test and other tests specified in
23subdivision (b) shall constitute at least 60 percent of the value of
24the index for primary schools and middle schools.

25(H) It is the intent of the Legislature that the state’s system of
26public school accountability be more closely aligned with both the
27public’s expectations for public education and the workforce needs
28of the state’s economy. It is therefore necessary that the
29accountability system evolve beyond its narrow focus on pupil test
30scores to encompass other valuable information about school
31performance, including, but not limited to, pupil preparedness for
32college and career, as well as the high school graduation rates
33already required by law.

34(I) The Superintendent shall annually determine the accuracy
35of the graduation rate data. Notwithstanding any other law,
36graduation rates for pupils in dropout recovery high schools shall
37not be included in the API. For purposes of this subparagraph,
38“dropout recovery high school” means a high school in which 50
39percent or more of its pupils have been designated as dropouts
40pursuant to the exit/withdrawal codes developed by the department
P142  1or left a school and were not otherwise enrolled in a school for a
2period of at least 180 days.

3(J) To complement the API, the Superintendent, with the
4approval of the state board, may develop and implement a program
5of school quality review that features locally convened panels to
6visit schools, observe teachers, interview pupils, and examine pupil
7work, if an appropriation for this purpose is made in the annual
8Budget Act.

9(K) The Superintendent shall annually provide to local
10educational agencies and the public a transparent and
11understandable explanation of the individual components of the
12API and their relative values within the API.

13(L) An additional element chosen by the Superintendent and
14the state board for inclusion in the API pursuant to this paragraph
15shall not be incorporated into the API until at least one full school
16year after the state board’s decision to include the element into the
17API.

18(b) Pupil scores from the following tests, when available and
19when found to be valid and reliable for this purpose, shall be
20incorporated into the API:

21(1) The standards-based achievement tests provided for in
22Section 60642.5.

23(2) The high school exit examination.

24(c) Based on the API, the Superintendent shall develop, and the
25state board shall adopt, expected annual percentage growth targets
26for all schools based on their API baseline score from the previous
27year. Schools are expected to meet these growth targets through
28effective allocation of available resources. For schools below the
29statewide API performance target adopted by the state board
30pursuant to subdivision (d), the minimum annual percentage growth
31target shall be 5 percent of the difference between the actual API
32score of a school and the statewide API performance target, or one
33API point, whichever is greater. Schools at or above the statewide
34API performance target shall have, as their growth target,
35maintenance of their API score above the statewide API
36performance target. However, the state board may set differential
37growth targets based on grade level of instruction and may set
38higher growth targets for the lowest performing schools because
39they have the greatest room for improvement. To meet its growth
40target, a school shall demonstrate that the annual growth in its API
P143  1is equal to or more than its schoolwide annual percentage growth
2target and that all numerically significant pupil subgroups, as
3defined in subdivision (a), are making comparable improvement.

4(d) Upon adoption of state performance standards by the state
5board, the Superintendent shall recommend, and the state board
6shall adopt, a statewide API performance target that includes
7consideration of performance standards and represents the
8proficiency level required to meet the state performance target.
9When the API is fully developed, schools, at a minimum, shall
10meet their annual API growth targets to be eligible for the
11Governor’s Performance Award Program as set forth in Section
1252057. The state board may establish additional criteria that schools
13must meet to be eligible for the Governor’s Performance Award
14Program.

15(e) (1) A school with 11 to 99 pupils with valid test scores shall
16receive an API score with an asterisk that indicates less statistical
17certainty than API scores based on 100 or more test scores.

18(2) A school annually shall receive an API score, unless the
19Superintendent determines that an API score would be an invalid
20measure of the performance of the school for one or more of the
21following reasons:

22(A) Irregularities in testing procedures occurred.

23(B) The data used to calculate the API score of the school are
24not representative of the pupil population at the school.

25(C) Significant demographic changes in the pupil population
26render year-to-year comparisons of pupil performance invalid.

27(D) The department discovers or receives information indicating
28that the integrity of the API score has been compromised.

29(E) Insufficient pupil participation in the assessments included
30in the API.

31(3) If a school has fewer than 100 pupils with valid test scores,
32the calculation of the API or adequate yearly progress pursuant to
33the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (20 U.S.C. Sec. 6301
34et seq.) and federal regulations may be calculated over more than
35one annual administration of the tests administered pursuant to
36Section 60640 and the high school exit examination administered
37pursuant to Section 60851, consistent with regulations adopted by
38the state board.

39(f) Only schools with 100 or more test scores contributing to
40the API may be included in the API rankings.

P144  1(g) The Superintendent, with the approval of the state board,
2shall develop an alternative accountability system for schools under
3the jurisdiction of a county board of education or a county
4superintendent of schools, community day schools, nonpublic,
5nonsectarian schools pursuant to Section 56366, and alternative
6schools serving high-risk pupils, including continuation high
7schools and opportunity schools. Schools in the alternative
8accountability system may receive an API score, but shall not be
9included in the API rankings.
