	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 754, as amended, Padilla. School funding: economic impact aid.
   Existing law provides economic impact aid funding to school
districts based on the number of economically disadvantaged pupils
and English learners enrolled in the school district. Existing law
requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to perform
specified calculations to determine the amount of economic impact aid
a school district receives for a fiscal year and further requires
each school district to expend these funds for specified programs and
activities.
   This bill would require a school district, as a condition 
upon   of  the receipt of economic impact aid
funds, to post online and in an easily accessible location  ,
 its economic impact aid budget, as specified.  The
bill also would require the State Department of Education to
determine, by July 1, 2017, whether each school district receiving
economic impact aid funds is using proven methods of teaching English
learners. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee:  yes
  no  . State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 54029 is added to the Education Code, to read:
   54029.   (a)    As a condition
 upon   of  the receipt of economic impact
aid funds, a school district shall post online and in an easily

district and each school within the school district. 
   (b) By July 1, 2017, the department shall determine whether each
school district receiving economic impact aid funds is using proven
