require the participating party to agree to the following conditions:

(1) If a participating party adopts a resolution by a majority vote
of its board to participate under this section, it shall provide notice
to the Controller of that election. The notice shall include a
schedule for the repayment of principal and interest on the bonds,
notes, certificates of participation, or other evidence of
indebtedness and identify the public credit provider that provided
credit enhancement. The notice shall be provided not later than
the date of issuance of the bonds.

(2) If, for any reason, a public credit provider is required to
make principal or interest payments, or both, pursuant to a credit
enhancement agreement, the public credit provider shall
immediately notify the Controller of that fact and of the amount
paid out by the public credit provider.

(3) Upon receipt of the notice required by paragraph (2), the
Controller shall make an apportionment to the public credit
provider in the amount of the payments made by the public credit
provider for the purpose of reimbursing the public credit provider
for its expenditures made pursuant to the credit enhancement
agreement. The Controller shall make that apportionment only
from moneys designated for apportionments to a participating
party, provided that such moneys are from one or more of the
following:

(A) Any funding apportioned for purposes of revenue limits or
the local control funding formula pursuant to Section 42238.02,
as implemented by Section 42238.03, to a school district or county
office of education without regard to the specific funding source
of the apportionment.

(B) Any general apportionments to a community college district
without regard to the specific funding source of the apportionment.

(C) Any funding apportioned for purposes of the charter school
block grant or the local control funding formula pursuant to Section

without regard to the specific funding source of the apportionment.

(b) The amount apportioned for a participating party pursuant
to this section shall be deemed to be an allocation to the
participating party and shall be included in the computation of

interest of the bonds. The notice shall be provided not later than
the date of issuance of the bonds or 60 days before the next
payment, whichever date is later. The participating party shall
update the notice at least annually if there is a change in the
required payment for any reason, including, but not limited to,

financing.

payment at the time the payment is required, the participating party

information to the Controller.

Controller shall make an apportionment to the trustee on the date
shown in the schedule in the amount of the deficiency for the
purpose of making the required payment. The Controller shall

repair.

(3) There should be no teacher vacancies or misassignments as

Section 48660 of the Education Code is amended to
read:

48660.  

The governing board of a school district may establish
one or more community day schools for pupils who meet one or
more of the conditions described in subdivision (b) of Section
48662. A community day school may serve pupils in any of
kindergarten and grades 1 to 6, inclusive, or any of grades 7 to 12,
inclusive, or the same or lesser included range of grades as may
be found in an individual middle or junior high school operated
by the school district. If a school district is organized as a school
district that serves kindergarten and grades 1 to 8, inclusive, but
no higher grades, the governing board of the school district may
establish a community day school for any kindergarten and grades
1 to 8, inclusive, upon a two-thirds vote of the governing board of
the school district. It is the intent of the Legislature, that to the
extent possible, the governing board of a school district operating
a community day school for any of kindergarten and grades 1 to
8, inclusive, separate younger pupils from older pupils within that
community day school.

Section 60119 of the Education Code is amended to
read:

60119.  

(a) The governing board of a school district shall take
the following actions:

(1) (A) The governing board of a school district shall hold a
public hearing or hearings at which the governing board of the
school district shall encourage participation by parents, teachers,
members of the community interested in the affairs of the school
district, and bargaining unit leaders, and shall make a
determination, through a resolution, as to whether each pupil in
each school in the school district has sufficient textbooks or
instructional materials, or both, that are aligned to the content
standards adopted pursuant to Section 60605 or 60605.8 in each
of the following subjects, as appropriate, that are consistent with
the content and cycles of the curriculum framework adopted by
the state board:

(i) Mathematics.

(ii) Science.

(iii) History-social science.

(iv) English language arts, including the English language
development component of an adopted program.

(B) The public hearing shall take place on or before the end of
the eighth week from the first day pupils attend school for that
year. A school district that operates schools on a multitrack,
year-round calendar shall hold the hearing on or before the end of
the eighth week from the first day pupils attend school for that
year on any tracks that begin a school year in August or September.
For purposes of the 2004-05 fiscal year only, the governing board
of a school district shall make a diligent effort to hold a public
hearing pursuant to this section on or before December 1, 2004.

(C) As part of the hearing required pursuant to this section, the
governing board of a school district also shall make a written
determination as to whether each pupil enrolled in a foreign
language or health course has sufficient textbooks or instructional
materials that are consistent with the content and cycles of the
curriculum frameworks adopted by the state board for those
subjects. The governing board of a school district also shall
determine the availability of laboratory science equipment as
applicable to science laboratory courses offered in grades 9 to 12,
inclusive. The provision of the textbooks, instructional materials,
or science equipment specified in this subparagraph is not a
condition of receipt of funds provided by this subdivision.

(2) (A) If the governing board of a school district determines
that there are insufficient textbooks or instructional materials, or
both, the governing board of the school district shall provide
information to classroom teachers and to the public setting forth,
in the resolution, for each school in which an insufficiency exists,
the percentage of pupils who lack sufficient standards-aligned
textbooks or instructional materials in each subject area and the
reasons that each pupil does not have sufficient textbooks or
instructional materials, or both, and take any action, except an
action that would require reimbursement by the Commission on
State Mandates, to ensure that each pupil has sufficient textbooks
or instructional materials, or both, within two months of the
beginning of the school year in which the determination is made.

(B) In carrying out subparagraph (A), the governing board of a
school district may use moneys in any of the following funds:

(i) Any funds available for textbooks or instructional materials,
or both, including any funds received pursuant to Section 8880.5
of the Government Code.

(ii) Any other funds available to the school district for textbooks
or instructional materials, or both.

(b) The governing board of a school district shall provide 10
days’ notice of the public hearing or hearings set forth in
subdivision (a). The notice shall contain the time, place, and
purpose of the hearing and shall be posted in three public places
in the school district. The hearing shall be held at a time that will
encourage the attendance of teachers and parents and guardians
of pupils who attend the schools in the school district and shall
not take place during or immediately following school hours.

(c) (1) For purposes of this section, “sufficient textbooks or
instructional materials” means that each pupil, including English
learners, has a standards-aligned textbook or instructional materials,
or both, to use in class and to take home. This paragraph does not
require two sets of textbooks or instructional materials for each
pupil. The materials may be in a digital format as long as each
pupil, at a minimum, has and can access the same materials in the
class and to take home, as all other pupils in the same class or
course in the school district and has the ability to use and access
them at home.

(2) Sufficient textbooks or instructional materials as defined in
paragraph (1) do not include photocopied sheets from only a
portion of a textbook or instructional materials copied to address
a shortage.

(d) The governing board of a school district that receives funds
for instructional materials from any state source is subject to the
requirements of this section.

(e) For the purpose of transitioning to instructional materials
that are aligned with the common core academic content standards,
it is the intent of the Legislature that textbooks, instructional
materials, and supplemental instructional materials be deemed to
be aligned with the content standards pursuant to subdivisions (a)
and (c), and be deemed consistent with the content and cycles of
the curriculum framework adopted by the state board pursuant to
subdivision (a) if the textbooks, instructional materials,
supplemental instructional materials, or a combination of any such
materials are aligned to the content standards adopted pursuant to
Section 60605 or 60605.8.

Section 60851 of the Education Code is amended to
read:

60851.  

(a) Commencing with the 2003-04 school year and
each school year thereafter, each pupil completing grade 12 shall
successfully pass the high school exit examination as a condition
of receiving a diploma of graduation or a condition of graduation
from high school. Funding for the administration of the high school
exit examination shall be provided for in the annual Budget Act.
The Superintendent shall apportion funds appropriated for this
purpose to enable school districts to meet the requirements of this
subdivision and subdivisions (b), (c), and (d). The state board shall
establish the amount of funding to be apportioned per test
administered, based on a review of the cost per test.

(b) Each pupil shall take the high school exit examination in
grade 10 beginning in the 2001-02 school year and may take the
examination during each subsequent administration, until each
section of the examination has been passed.

(c) (1)  At the parent or guardian’s request, a school principal
shall submit a request for a waiver of the requirement to
successfully pass the high school exit examination to the governing
board of the school district for a pupil with a disability who has
taken the high school exit examination with modifications that
alter what the test measures and has received the equivalent of a
passing score on one or both subject matter parts of the high school
exit examination. A governing board of a school district may waive
the requirement to successfully pass one or both subject matter
parts of the high school exit examination for a pupil with a
disability if the principal certifies to the governing board of the
school district that the pupil has all of the following:

(A)  An individualized education program adopted pursuant to
the federal Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C.
Sec. 1400 et seq.) or a plan adopted pursuant to Section 504 of the
federal Rehabilitation Act of 1973 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 794(a)) in place
that requires the accommodations or modifications to be provided
to the pupil when taking the high school exit examination.

(B)  Sufficient high school level coursework either satisfactorily
completed or in progress in a high school level curriculum
sufficient to have attained the skills and knowledge otherwise
needed to pass the high school exit examination.

(C)  An individual score report for the pupil showing that the
pupil has received the equivalent of a passing score on the high
school exit examination while using a modification that
fundamentally alters what the high school exit examination
measures as determined by the state board.

(2) A school district shall report to the state board, in a manner
and by a date determined by the Superintendent, the number and
characteristics of waivers reviewed, granted, and denied under this
subdivision and any additional information determined to be in
furtherance of this subdivision.

(d) The high school exit examination shall be offered in each
public school and state special school that provides instruction in
grades 10, 11, or 12, on the dates designated by the Superintendent.
An exit examination may not be administered on any date other
than those designated by the Superintendent as examination days
or makeup days.

(e) The results of the high school exit examination shall be
provided to each pupil taking the examination within eight weeks
of the examination administration and in time for the pupil to take
any section of the examination not passed at the next
administration. A pupil shall take again only those parts of the
examination he or she has not previously passed and may not retake
any portion of the exit examination that he or she has previously
passed.

(f) Supplemental instruction shall be provided to any pupil who
does not demonstrate sufficient progress toward passing the high
school exit examination. To the extent that school districts have
aligned their curriculum with the state academic content standards
adopted by the state board, the curriculum for supplemental
instruction shall reflect those standards and shall be designed to
assist the pupils to succeed on the high school exit examination.
This chapter does not require the provision of supplemental
services using resources that are not regularly available to a school
or school district, including summer school instruction. In no event
shall any action taken as a result of this subdivision cause or require
reimbursement by the Commission on State Mandates. Sufficient
progress shall be determined on the basis of either of the following:

(1) The results of the assessments administered pursuant to
Article 4 (commencing with Section 60640) of Chapter 5 and the
minimum levels of proficiency recommended by the state board
pursuant to Section 60648.

(2) The grades of the pupil and other indicators of academic
achievement designated by the school district.
