Assembly Bill No. 710

Introduced by Assembly Member Brown

February 25, 2015

An act to amend Sections 2574, 42238.01, 42238.02, 52060, and 52066 of the Education Code, relating to homeless youth on probation.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 710, as introduced, Brown. Youth on probation: local control funding formula: local control and accountability plans.

(1) Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified. Existing law requires funding pursuant to the local control funding formula to include, in addition to a base grant, supplemental and concentration grant add-ons that are based on the percentage of certain categories of pupils, known as unduplicated pupils, served by the county superintendent of schools, school district, or charter school. Existing law includes among unduplicated pupils, a pupil who is classified as an English learner, eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, or a foster youth, as defined, and requires county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to submit and report data relating to these pupils.

This bill would include a youth who is on probation, as defined, as an unduplicated pupil.

(2) Existing law, on or before July 1, 2014, required the governing board of each school district and each county board of education to adopt a local control and accountability plan. Existing law requires the governing board of each school district and each county board of education to update its local control and accountability plan before July 1 of each year. Existing law requires a local control and accountability plan to include, among other things, a description of the annual goals to be achieved for each state priority, as specified, for all pupils and certain subgroups of pupils, including, among others, pupils who are English learners or foster youth.

This bill would require a local control and accountability plan to also include a description of the annual goals to be achieved for youth on probation for each state priority. By requiring the governing board of each school district and each county board of education to include additional information in the local control and accountability plan, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(3) This bill also would require the State Department of Education to add the appropriate data collection questions to the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, and would require local educational agencies, including charter schools, to provide the appropriate data using information provided by the juvenile courts, as specified. By requiring local educational agencies to submit additional data, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

(4) This bill also would update references and make other nonsubstantive changes.

(5) 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:

SECTION 1.  

Section 2574 of the Education Code is amended
to read:

2574.  

For the 2013-14 fiscal year and for each fiscal year
thereafter, the Superintendent annually shall calculate a county
local control funding formula for each county superintendent of
schools as follows:

(a) Compute a county office of education operations grant equal
to the sum of each of the following amounts:

(1) Six hundred fifty-five thousand nine hundred twenty dollars
($655,920).

(2) One hundred nine thousand three hundred twenty dollars
($109,320) multiplied by the number of school districts for which
the county superintendent of schools has jurisdiction pursuant to
Section 1253.

(3) (A) Seventy dollars ($70) multiplied by the number of units
of countywide average daily attendance, up to a maximum of
30,000 units.

(B) Sixty dollars ($60) multiplied by the number of units of
countywide average daily attendance for the portion of countywide
average daily attendance, if any, above 30,000 units, up to a
maximum of 60,000 units.

(C) Fifty dollars ($50) multiplied by the number of units of
countywide average daily attendance for the portion of countywide
average daily attendance, if any, above 60,000, up to a maximum
of 140,000 units.

(D) Forty dollars ($40) multiplied by the number of units of
countywide average daily attendance for the portion of countywide
average daily attendance, if any, above 140,000 units.

(E) For purposes of this section, countywide average daily
attendance means the aggregate number of annual units of average
daily attendance within the county attributable to all school districts
for which the county superintendent of schools has jurisdiction
pursuant to Section 1253, charter schools authorized by school
districts for which the county superintendent of schools has
jurisdiction, and charter schools authorized by the county
superintendent of schools.

(4) For the 2014-15 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
adjust each of the rates provided in the prior year pursuant to
paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) by the percentage change in the annual
average value of the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local
Government Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States,
as published by the United States Department of Commerce for
the 12-month period ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal
year. This percentage change shall be determined using the latest
data available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year compared
with the annual average value of the same deflator for the 12-month
period ending in the third quarter of the second preceding fiscal
year, using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding
fiscal year, as reported by the Department of Finance.

(b) Determine the enrollment percentage of unduplicated pupils
pursuant to the following:

(1) (A) For the 2013-14 fiscal year, divide the enrollment of
unduplicated pupils in all schools operated by a county
superintendent of schools in the 2013-14 fiscal year by the total
enrollment in those schools in the 2013-14 fiscal year.

(B) For the 2014-15 fiscal year, divide the sum of the enrollment
of unduplicated pupils in all schools operated by a county
superintendent of schools in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years
by the sum of the total enrollment in those schools in the 2013-14
and 2014-15 fiscal years.

(C) For the 2015-16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
divide the sum of the enrollment of unduplicated pupils in all
schools operated by a county superintendent of schools in the
current fiscal year and the two prior fiscal years by the sum of the
total enrollment in those schools in the current fiscal year and the
two prior fiscal years.

(D) (i) For purposes of the quotients determined pursuant to
subparagraphs (B) and (C), the Superintendent shall use a county
superintendent of schools’ enrollment of unduplicated pupils and
total pupil enrollment in the 2014-15 fiscal year instead of the
enrollment of unduplicated pupils and total pupil enrollment in
the 2013-14 fiscal year if doing so would yield an overall greater
percentage of unduplicated pupils.

(ii) It is the intent of the Legislature to review each county office
of education’s enrollment of unduplicated pupils for the 2013-14
and 2014-15 fiscal years and provide one-time funding, if
necessary, for a county office of education with higher enrollment
of unduplicated pupils in the 2014-15 fiscal year as compared to
the 2013-14 fiscal year.

(E) For purposes of determining the enrollment percentage of
unduplicated pupils pursuant to this subdivision, enrollment in
schools or classes established pursuant to Article 2.5 (commencing
with Section 48645) of Chapter 4 of Part 27 of Division 4 of Title
2 and the enrollment of pupils other than the pupils identified in
clauses (i) to (iii), inclusive, of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4)
of subdivision (c), shall be excluded from the calculation of the
enrollment percentage of unduplicated pupils.

(F) The data used to determine the percentage of unduplicated
pupils shall be final once that data is no longer used in the current
fiscal year calculation of the percentage of unduplicated pupils.
This subparagraph does not apply to a change that is the result of
an audit that has been appealed pursuant to Section 41344.

(2) For purposes of this section, an “unduplicated pupil” is a
pupil who is classified as an English learner, eligible for a free or
reduced-price meal, begin insert a youth on probation, end insert or a foster youth. For
purposes of this section, the definitions in Section 42238.01 of an
