begin insert

(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.

end insert begin insert

This bill would include a pupil who is redesignated as fluent English proficient, as specified, as an unduplicated pupil. The bill would authorize a county superintendent of schools, school district, or charter school to receive supplemental and concentration grant add-ons for pupils redesignated as fluent English proficient for the 2 consecutive fiscal years following redesignation. By requiring county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to also submit and report data related to pupils redesignated as fluent English proficient, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program.

enrollment for each schoolsite shall include criteria for employing
sampling.

(d), for each school district’s or charter school’s percentage of
unduplicated pupils calculated pursuant to paragraph (5) of
subdivision (b) in excess of 55 percent of the school district’s or
charter school’s total enrollment. The concentration grant shall be
calculated by multiplying the base grants as specified in
subparagraphs (A) to (D), inclusive, of paragraph (1) of subdivision
(d), as adjusted by paragraphs (2) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision
(d), by 50 percent and by the percentage of unduplicated pupils
calculated pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (b) in excess

calculate concentration grants shall not exceed the percentage of
unduplicated pupils calculated pursuant to paragraph (5) of
subdivision (b) in excess of 55 percent of the school district in
which the charter school is physically located. For a charter school
physically located in more than one school district, the charter
school’s percentage of unduplicated pupils calculated pursuant to
paragraph (5) of subdivision (b) in excess of 55 percent used to
calculate concentration grants shall not exceed that of the school
district with the highest percentage of unduplicated pupils
calculated pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (b) in excess
