SB 97, as amended, Committee on Budget and Fiscal Review. School finance: local control funding formula.
(1) Existing law provides for the attendance of apprentices at high schools, unified school districts, regional occupational centers or programs, community colleges, and adult schools under vocational education program standards that are established with the participation of the State Department of Education, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the Department of Industrial Relations.
Existing law establishes standards for the provision of state funding and reimbursements for these programs at high schools, unified school districts, regional occupational centers or programs, and adult schools separate from these programs at community colleges. Existing law requires, by March 15, 2014, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the Department of Industrial Relations, with equal participation by specified entities, to develop common administrative practices and treatment for costs and services, as well as other policies related to apprenticeship programs.
This bill would amend these provisions so that they refer to local educational agencies, as defined to mean a school district or county office of education, rather than to high schools, unified school districts, regional occupational centers or programs, and adult schools. The bill would change the deadline for the development of common administrative practices and treatment of costs and services by the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the Division of Apprenticeship Standards of the Department of Industrial Relations by one day to March 14, 2014.
(2) Existing law establishes the Charter School Revolving Loan Fund, and authorizes loans to be made from the fund to qualifying charter schools. Existing law establishes the Charter School Security Fund, and authorizes deposits to be made from that fund into the Charter School Revolving Loan Fund in case of a default on a loan made from the latter fund. Existing law has transferred the responsibility for the administration of these funds from the State Department of Education to the California School Finance Authority commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year. Existing law also establishes the Charter School Facility Grant Program under the administration of the authority. Existing law requires the authority to adopt emergency regulations to implement these provisions.
This bill would authorize, rather than require, the California School Finance Authority to adopt any necessary rules and regulations for the implementation of these provisions.
begin insert(3) Existing law requires the Controller to transfer from Section A of the State School Fund and the Education Protection Account the amount of funds necessary to pay certain warrants so that the effective cost of the lease financing provided to the Oakland Unified School District, the Vallejo City Unified School District, and the West Contra Costa Unified School District is equal to the cost of the original General Fund emergency loan made to each school district. Existing law also specifies the original interest rate to be used in determining the cost of the original emergency loan made for these school districts.
end insertbegin insertThis bill would require the Controller, for the 2013-14 to 2029-30 fiscal years, inclusive, to make that transfer with respect to the lease financing provided to the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District pursuant to a specified 2009 statute. The bill would specify the original interest rate to be used in determining the cost of the original emergency loan for the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District as equal to the annual rate of return of the Pooled Money Investment Account for the applicable fiscal year, plus an additional 2%. The bill would require this rate to also apply to any disbursements of the loan pursuant to the 2009 statute that are subsequent to September 15, 2013. The bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the South Monterey County Joint Union High School District.

Existing law requires, as part of the local control funding formula calculation, the calculation of an annual local control funding formula transition adjustment that is calculated on the basis of moneys appropriated in the Budget Act of 2012 for specified programs, including, among others, regional occupational centers and programs. Existing law, for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years only, requires a county superintendent of schools and a school district that, in the 2012-13 fiscal year, received funds on behalf of, or provided funds to, a regional occupational center or program joint powers agency, to not redirect that funding for another purpose, except as specified. Existing law also requires, for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years only, a county superintendent of schools and a school district, respectively, to spend no less for regional occupational centers and programs than the amount of funds the county superintendent and school district expended in the 2012-13 fiscal year.
This bill would, for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years, require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to apportion to a regional occupational center or program joint powers agency the same amount that agency received in the 2012-13 fiscal year from specified funding sources. The bill would authorize a county office of education and school district to include expenditures made by the county office of education and the school districts within the county for purposes of regional occupational centers or programs so long as the total amount of expenditures made by the county office of education and school districts within the county equals or exceeds the total amount required to be expended for regional occupational centers or programs pursuant to specified provisions. The bill would, for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years, require the Superintendent to reduce the amount of the Budget Act of 2012 entitlement for regional occupational centers and programs used in the computation of the local control funding formula transition adjustment for the Torrance Unified School District by $3,473,574 and would require the Torrance Unified School District to continue to allocate $3,473,574 for purposes of a regional occupational center or program joint powers agency. The bill would also make numerous technical and substantive changes to provisions related to the local control funding formula.

Existing law requires the budgets to not be adopted if they do not include the expenditures identified in a local control and accountability plan or an annual update to the local control and accountability plan that will be effective in the subsequent fiscal year. Existing law also requires, if a budget is disapproved, the formation of a budget review committee, as specified.
This bill would, commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year, require that a budget review committee not be formed if the sole reason for a budget not being approved is the lack of an approved local control and accountability plan or an annual update.

local control and accountability plan to include a description of the annual goals to be achieved for each of certain state priorities and the specific actions that will be taken to achieve the annual goals. Existing law requires the governing board of a school district and the county superintendent of schools to consult with teachers, principals, administrators, other school personnel, parents, and pupils in developing the local control and accountability plan. Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to approve a local control and accountability plan or annual update to a local control and accountability plan adopted by the governing board of a school district, and requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to approve a local control and accountability plan or annual update to a local control and accountability plan adopted by the county board of education, if specified determinations are made.

The program requires, in order for students enrolled in their respective segments to remain eligible to receive financial aid under the bill, that the University of California and the California State University maintain their respective institutional need-based grant program policies and maintain their funding amounts at a level that, at a minimum, is equal to the level maintained during the 2013-14 academic year.
This bill would provide that the scholarship award under the Middle Class Scholarship, combined with other publicly funded student financial aid, would be for up to 40% of the mandatory systemwide tuition and fees, rather than up to 40% of the mandatory systemwide tuition, charged to an eligible student in a fiscal year.
The bill would require that an eligible student maintain satisfactory academic progress, rather than a 2.0 grade point average, to receive a scholarship award under the program.
The bill would also require that the University of California and the California State University not supplant their respective institutional need-based grants with funds provided for scholarships under the program, rather than maintain their respective need-based grant program policies, as specified.

23average amount of general-purpose funding per unit of average
24daily attendance received by school districts for each of four grade
25level ranges: kindergarten and grades 1, 2, and 3; grades 4, 5, and
266; grades 7 and 8; and, grades 9 to 12, inclusive. For purposes of
27making these computations, both of the following conditions shall

29(1) Revenue limit funding attributable to pupils in kindergarten
30and grades 1 to 5,
inclusive, shall equal the statewide average
31revenue limit funding per unit of average daily attendance received
32by elementary school districts; revenue limit funding attributable
33to pupils in grades 6, 7, and 8, shall equal the statewide average
34revenue limit funding per unit of average daily attendance received
35by unified school districts; and revenue limit funding attributable

35commencing with the 1999-2000 fiscal year for the inflation
36adjustment calculated pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section
3742238.1. Average daily attendance reported for this program shall
38not exceed 0.375 percent of a school district’s prior
year P2 average
39daily attendance in an elementary school district, 0.5 percent of a
