school facilities.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1602, Dunn.   Year-round school grants:  teaching station.
   Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
allocate funding for the year-round school grant program pursuant to
a prescribed schedule relating to the percentage by which the number
of excess pupils reflects an increase in the capacity of the
schoolsite.
   This bill would require the superintendent to comply with
prescribed provisions of the Leroy F. Greene School Facilities Act of
1998 in making these calculations, and would exclude one classroom
for the first 800 pupils at a schoolsite, or 2 classrooms for
schoolsites with over 800 pupils, from the definition of "teaching
station" for purposes of determining existing school building
capacity if certain conditions are met.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:


  SECTION 1.  Section 42263.5 is added to the Education Code, to
read:
   42263.5.  (a) For purposes of the calculation of the capacity of
the school as required in subdivision (b) of Section 42263, the
superintendent shall comply with Section 17071.25 and this section.
   (b) For purposes of this section, "teaching stations" shall not
include one classroom for each schoolsite with 800 pupils or less,
and two classrooms for each schoolsite with over 800 pupils, if all
of the following conditions are met:
   (1) The school is operating on a multitrack year-round educational
program.
   (2) A number of pupils, equal to or greater than 30 percent of the
school district's total enrollment in kindergarten and grades 1 to
6, inclusive, are on the multitrack year-round program.
   (3) The classroom or classrooms are used during the intersession
for the academic remediation of pupils who are in the multitrack
year-round program.
