LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL’S DIGEST

AB 710, as amended, 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, commencing with the 2016-17 fiscal year, include a youth who is on probation, as defined, as an unduplicated pupil.

(2) Existing law, on or before July 1, 2014, requires 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, on or before July 1, 2017, 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 modify the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System, as appropriate, to collect pupil probationbegin delete dataend deletebegin insert data, including probationary status and the beginning and end date of the probation,end insert beginning no later than September 1, 2016, 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:

18(B) Sixty dollars ($60) multiplied by the number of units of
19countywide average daily attendance for the portion of countywide
20average daily attendance, if any, above 30,000 units, up to a
21maximum of 60,000 units.

22(C) Fifty dollars ($50) multiplied by the number of units of

17enrollment in those schools in the 2013-14 fiscal year.

18(B) For the 2014-15 fiscal year, divide the sum of the enrollment
19of unduplicated pupils in all schools operated by a county

28two prior fiscal years.

29(D) (i) For purposes of the quotients determined pursuant to
30subparagraphs (B) and (C), the Superintendent shall use a county
31superintendent of schools’ enrollment of unduplicated pupils and
32total pupil enrollment in the 2014-15 fiscal year instead of the
33enrollment of unduplicated pupils and total pupil enrollment in
34the 2013-14 fiscal year if doing so would yield an overall greater
35percentage of unduplicated pupils.

36(ii) It is the intent of the Legislature to review each county office
37of education’s enrollment of unduplicated pupils for the 2013-14
38and 2014-15 fiscal years and provide one-time funding, if

7 2 and the enrollment of pupils other than the pupils identified in
8clauses (i) to (iii), inclusive, of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4)
9of subdivision (c), shall be excluded from the calculation of the
10enrollment percentage of unduplicated pupils.

11(F) The data used to determine the percentage of unduplicated
12pupils shall be final once that data is no longer used in the current
13fiscal year calculation of the percentage of unduplicated pupils.

5district or charter school pursuant to all of the following:

6(A) For the 2013-14 fiscal year, divide the sum of unduplicated
7pupils for the 2013-14 fiscal year by the sum of the total pupil
8enrollment for the 2013-14 fiscal year.

9(B) For the 2014-15 fiscal year, divide the sum of unduplicated
10pupils for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years by the sum of the
11total pupil enrollment for the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years.

12(C) For the 2015-16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
13divide the sum of unduplicated pupils for the current fiscal year
14and the two prior fiscal years by the sum of the total pupil
15enrollment for the current fiscal year and the two prior fiscal years.

16(D) (i) For purposes of the quotients determined pursuant to
17subparagraphs (B) and (C), the Superintendent shall use a school
18district’s or charter school’s enrollment of unduplicated pupils and
19total pupil enrollment in the 2014-15 fiscal year instead of the
20enrollment of unduplicated pupils and total pupil enrollment in
21the 2013-14 fiscal year if doing so would yield an overall greater
22percentage of unduplicated pupils.

23(ii) It is the intent of the Legislature to review each school
24district and charter school’s enrollment of unduplicated pupils for
25the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years and provide one-time

29(6) The data used to determine the percentage of unduplicated
30pupils shall be final once that data is no longer used in the current
31fiscal year calculation of the percentage of unduplicated pupils.
32This paragraph does not apply to a change that is the result of an
33audit that has been appealed pursuant to Section 41344.

34(c) Commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year and each fiscal

13Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States, as published
14by the United States Department of Commerce for the 12-month
15period ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year. This
16percentage change shall be determined using the latest data
17available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year compared with
18the annual average value of the same deflator for the 12-month
19period ending in the third quarter of the second preceding fiscal
20year, using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding
21fiscal year, as reported by the Department of Finance.
