LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

AB 39, as amended, Muratsuchi. Education finance: local control funding formula: grant add-on: aspirational funding level: reports.

(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 pupils who are English learners, foster youth, or eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as specified, served by the county superintendent of schools, school district, or charter school. Existing law specifies the amount of the base grant in the 2013–14 fiscal year, as provided, and requires that amount to be adjusted for inflation changes in cost of living in subsequent fiscal years. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to compute the supplemental and concentration grant add-ons as certain percentages of the amount of the base grant.

This bill would specify new, higher target base grant amounts commencing with the 2020–21 fiscal year, and would make funding to achieve those targets subject to an appropriation separate from, and in addition to, appropriations for the local control funding formula to be allocated as a grant add-on in accordance with a certain formula based on the higher target base grant amounts. The bill would require moneys received pursuant to these provisions to be treated as funds apportioned under the local control funding formula for purposes of requirements related to local control and accountability plans for school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education. By imposing additional duties on local educational agencies relating to local control and accountability plans, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The bill would require the Superintendent to annually compute an adjustment to the grade span base grants under the local control funding formula to reflect the percentage, as determined by the Director of Finance, equal to the amount of a grant add-on allocated pursuant to these provisions in the prior fiscal year.

This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to increase the base grants to amounts equal to the national average per-pupil funding level, as provided. The bill would express the intent of the Legislature to apply a cost-of-living adjustment above the specified cost-of-living adjustment described above for purposes of certain funding provisions.

(2) Commencing with the first fiscal year after full implementation of the local control funding formula, existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, within 3 business days of the first principal, 2nd principal, and annual apportionments for each fiscal year, to publish on the State Department of Education’s internet website the amount of a county office of education’s, school district’s, or charter school’s funding derived from its local control funding formula allocation that is attributable to the supplemental and concentration grants.

Commencing July 1, 2020, this bill would require the Superintendent to additionally publish on the department’s internet website (A) the amount of a county office of education’s, school district’s, or charter school’s funding derived from its local control funding formula allocation that is attributable to base grants, (B) the amount of a county office of education’s, school district’s, or charter school’s base, supplemental, and concentration grant portions of any grant add-on amounts calculated pursuant to the provisions in paragraph (1) above, and (C) grants and (B) the unduplicated pupil counts and percentages calculated for each school district, charter school, and county office of education. The bill would prohibit the Superintendent from publishing this information for any necessary small school, as defined.

(3)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 the statutory provisions noted above.

Bill Text

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

(a)The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1)Despite California’s leadership in the global economy, this state falls in the nation’s bottom quintile in nearly every measure of K–12 public school funding and staffing levels.

(2)California ranks 45th nationally in the percentage of taxable income spent on education, 41st in per-pupil funding, 45th in pupil-teacher ratios, and 48th in pupil-staff ratios, and K–12 public school funding in this state has not substantially increased, on an inflation-adjusted basis, for more than a decade.

(3)Under Proposition 98, approved by the voters as the Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act, state and local funding for K–12 public schools has only recently returned to the levels of funding that predated the Great Recession that began around 2007, and the modest revenue increases since the enactment of the local control funding formula (LCFF) have been eroded by rapidly increasing costs.

(4)California’s pupil population is the largest in the country, and is far more diverse with additional needs, with 58 percent of California’s K–12 public school pupils eligible for free and reduced-priced meals, which is 13 percent above the national average, and with 23 percent of California’s K–12 public school pupils classified as English learners, which is more than twice the national average.

(5)In 2013, California dramatically reformed its method of allocating K–12 education funding by creating the LCFF in order to increase local decisionmaking authority for those closest to pupils and, even more importantly, to distribute funds to all pupils through what are known as “base grants,” and then to more equitably account for additional needs of English learners, low income pupils, and pupils classified as foster youth through what are known as “supplemental grants” and “concentration grants.”

(6)In enacting LCFF, the Legislature established funding targets for the base grants at levels that were projected to be reached in the 2020–21 fiscal year. However, those targets were reached in the 2018–19 fiscal year.

(7)In order to prepare pupils for participation in a democratic society and an increasingly competitive, technology-driven global economy, California must fund public schools at a level sufficient to support pupil success.

(8)If California is to close opportunity and achievement gaps and create a K–12 public school system that offers consistently high levels of education, this state must provide public schools with the resources to meet the needs of their specific pupil populations.

(9)The September 2018 report from Policy Analysis for California Education and Stanford University titled “Getting Down to Facts II” stated, among other things, that California needs to increase funding to public schools by 38 percent over current funding in order to meet expectations placed on schools under the current curriculum standards and to give all pupils “the opportunity to meet the state’s goals.”

(10)When Proposition 98 was approved by voters in 1988, it set as a target for school spending per pupil to “equal or exceed the average annual expenditure per student of the 10 states with the highest annual expenditures per student for elementary and high schools.” This target is imbedded in the California Constitution in Section 8.5 of Article XVI.

(b)Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to establish updated LCFF targets for school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education in recognition that the LCFF funding targets established in Assembly Bill 97 of the 2013–14 Regular Session (Ch. 47, Stats. 2013) were met in the 2018–19 fiscal year. These updated funding targets will continue to support local educational agencies’ efforts to improve educational opportunities for pupils, to adhere to the goal of providing additional resources for local educational agencies serving pupils with the greatest needs, and to cover increasing fixed costs while preserving local control.

(c)Moreover, to the extent additional Proposition 98 revenue is available, and to the extent additional funding is committed to LCFF beyond Proposition 98, either by statute or initiative, it is the intent of the Legislature to continue to provide funding to local educational agencies through the LCFF beyond the original targets established in Section 42238.02 of the Education Code in 2013 and to set new targets for LCFF base grants using dollar amounts calculated at the national average in order to ensure that all local educational agencies are given the flexibility to use funds to meet locally identified pupil and community needs, in order to keep the focus on new educational investments on the equity-based distribution model that is the LCFF, and to provide resources to public schools to meet the needs of pupils to maximize educational opportunities and keep California in the lead in the world economy.

SEC. 2.Section 14002 of the Education Code is amended to read:

14002.

(a) Notwithstanding any other law, upon certification of the Superintendent pursuant to Sections 41330, 41332, and 41335, any amount necessary to meet the requirements of programs specified in subdivision (b) during each fiscal year are hereby continuously appropriated from the General Fund to Section A of the State School Fund for allocation by the Controller.

(b)Programs included for purposes of this section are all of the following:

(1)Chapter 12.5 (commencing with Section 2574) of Part 2.

(2)Section 41544.

(3)Article 2 (commencing with Section 42238) of Chapter 7 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2, except for Section 42238.026.

(4)Section 47663.

(5)Article 7 (commencing with Section 48300) of Chapter 2 of Part 27 of Division 4 of Title 2.

(6)Article 10 (commencing with Section 48350) of Chapter 2 of Part 27 of Division 4 of Title 2.

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, or a foster youth. For purposes of this section, the definitions in Section 42238.01 of an English learner, a pupil eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and foster youth shall apply. A pupil shall be counted only once for purposes of this section if any of the following apply:

(A) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal.

(B) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is a foster youth.

(C) The pupil is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal and is classified as a foster youth.

(D) The pupil is classified as an English learner, is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and is a foster youth.

(3) (A) Under procedures and timeframes established by the Superintendent, commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, a county superintendent of schools annually shall report the enrollment of unduplicated pupils, pupils classified as English learners, pupils eligible for free and reduced-price meals, and foster youth in schools operated by the county superintendent of schools to the Superintendent using the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.

(B) The Superintendent shall make the calculations pursuant to this section using the data submitted through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.

(C) The Controller shall include instructions, as appropriate, in the audit guide required by subdivision (a) of Section 14502.1, for determining if the data reported by a county superintendent of schools using the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System is consistent with pupil data records maintained by the county office of education.

(c) Compute an alternative education grant equal to the sum of the following:

(1) (A) For the 2013–14 fiscal year, a base grant equal to the 2012–13 per pupil undeficited statewide average juvenile court school base revenue limit calculated pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with Section 2550) of Chapter 12, as that article read on January 1, 2013. For purposes of this subparagraph, the 2012–13 statewide average juvenile court school base revenue limit shall be considered final as of the annual apportionment for the 2012–13 fiscal year, as calculated for purposes of the certification required on or before February 20, 2014, pursuant to Sections 41332 and 41339.

(B) Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, the per pupil base grant shall be adjusted 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.

(2) A supplemental grant equal to 35 percent of the base grant described in paragraph (1) multiplied by the enrollment percentage calculated in subdivision (b). The supplemental grant shall be expended in accordance with the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 42238.07.

(3) (A) A concentration grant equal to 35 percent of the base grant described in paragraph (1) multiplied by the greater of either of the following:

(i) The enrollment percentage calculated in subdivision (b) less 50 percent.

(ii) Zero.

(B) The concentration grant shall be expended in accordance with the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 42238.07.

(4) (A) Multiply the sum of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) by the total number of units of average daily attendance for pupils attending schools operated by a county office of education, excluding units of average daily attendance for pupils attending 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, who are enrolled pursuant to any of the following:

(i) Probation-referred pursuant to Sections 300, 601, 602, and 654 of the Welfare and Institutions Code.

(ii) On probation or parole and not in attendance in a school.

(iii) Expelled for any of the reasons specified in subdivision (a) or (c) of Section 48915.

(B) Multiply the number of units of average daily attendance for pupils attending 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 by the sum of the base grant calculated pursuant to paragraph (1), a supplemental grant equal to 35 percent of the base grant calculated pursuant to paragraph (1), and a concentration grant equal to 17.5 percent of the base grant calculated pursuant to paragraph (1). Funds provided for the supplemental and concentration grants pursuant to this calculation shall be expended in accordance with the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 42238.07.

(C) Add the amounts calculated in subparagraphs (A) and (B).

(d) Add the amount calculated in subdivision (a) to the amount calculated in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (c).

(e) Add all of the following to the amount calculated in subdivision (d):

(1) The amount of funding a county superintendent of schools received for the 2012–13 fiscal year from funds allocated pursuant to the Targeted Instructional Improvement Block Grant program, as set forth in Article 6 (commencing with Section 41540) of Chapter 3.2 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2, as that article read on January 1, 2013.

(2) (A) (i) The amount of funding a county superintendent of schools received for the 2012–13 fiscal year from funds allocated pursuant to the Home-to-School Transportation program, as set forth in former Article 2 (commencing with Section 39820) of Chapter 1 of Part 23.5 of Division 3 of Title 2, former Article 10 (commencing with Section 41850) of Chapter 5 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2, and the Small School District Transportation program, as set forth in former Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 42290) of Chapter 7 of Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2, as those articles read on January 1, 2013.

(ii) If a home-to-school transportation joint powers agency, established pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code for purposes of providing pupil transportation, received an apportionment directly from the Superintendent pursuant to Item 6110-111-0001 of Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2012, as identified in clause (i) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 2575, the joint powers agency may identify the member local educational agencies and transfer entitlement to that funding to any of those member local educational agencies by reporting to the Superintendent, on or before September 30, 2015, the reassignment of a specified amount of the joint powers agency’s 2012–13 fiscal year entitlement to the member local educational agency. Commencing with the 2015–16 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall add the reassigned amounts to the amounts calculated pursuant to this paragraph.

(B) On or before March 1, 2014, the Legislative Analyst’s Office shall submit recommendations to the fiscal committees of both houses of the Legislature regarding revisions to the methods of funding pupil transportation that address historical funding inequities across county offices of education and school districts and improve incentives for local educational agencies to provide efficient and effective pupil transportation services.

(f) It is the intent of the Legislature, in any year that the Legislature authorizes funding for a cost-of-living adjustment pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 42238.015 above the cost-of-living adjustment described in subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), to notwithstand subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) and make the cost-of-living adjustment for the fiscal year a percentage determined by the Director of Finance for purposes of calculating the alternative education grant.

(b) This section shall become operative on July 1, 2020.

SEC. 4.

 Section 42238.015 is added to the Education Code, immediately following Section 42238.01, to read:

42238.015.

 (a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following:

(1) Despite California’s leadership in the global economy, this state falls in the nation’s bottom quintile in nearly every measure of K–12 public school funding and staffing levels.

(2) California ranks 45th nationally in the percentage of taxable income spent on education, 41st in per-pupil funding, 45th in pupil-teacher ratios, and 48th in pupil-staff ratios.

(3) Under Proposition 98, approved by the voters as the Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act, state and local funding for K–12 public schools has only recently returned to the levels of funding that predated the Great Recession that began around 2007, and the modest revenue increases since the enactment of the local control funding formula (LCFF) have been eroded by rapidly increasing costs.

(4) California’s pupil population is the largest in the country, and is far more diverse with additional needs, with 58 percent of California’s K–12 public school pupils eligible for free and reduced-priced meals, which is 13 percent above the national average, and with 23 percent of California’s K–12 public school pupils classified as English learners, which is more than twice the national average.

(5) In 2013, California dramatically reformed its method of allocating K–12 education funding by creating the LCFF in order to increase local decisionmaking authority for those closest to pupils and, even more importantly, to distribute funds to all pupils through what are known as “base grants,” and then to more equitably account for additional needs of English learners, low-income pupils, and pupils classified as foster youth through what are known as “supplemental grants” and “concentration grants.”

(6) In enacting LCFF, the Legislature established funding targets for the base grants at levels that were projected to be reached in the 2020–21 fiscal year. However, those targets were reached in the 2018–19 fiscal year.

(7) In order to prepare pupils for participation in a democratic society and an increasingly competitive, technology-driven global economy, California must fund public schools at a level sufficient to support pupil success.

(8) If California is to close opportunity and achievement gaps and create a K–12 public school system that offers consistently high levels of education, this state must provide public schools with the resources to meet the needs of their specific pupil populations.

(9) The September 2018 report from Policy Analysis for California Education and Stanford University titled “Getting Down to Facts II” stated, among other things, that California needs to increase funding to public schools by 38 percent over current funding in order to meet expectations placed on schools under the current curriculum standards and to give all pupils “the opportunity to meet the state’s goals.”

(10) When Proposition 98 was approved by voters in 1988, it set as a target for school spending per pupil to “equal or exceed the average annual expenditure per student of the 10 states with the highest annual expenditures per student for elementary and high schools.” This target is imbedded in Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.

(b) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to establish new, aspirational LCFF grade span adjusted base grant funding levels for school districts, charter schools, and county offices of education in recognition that the LCFF funding targets established in Assembly Bill 97 of the 2013–14 Regular Session (Ch. 47, Stats. 2013) were met in the 2018–19 fiscal year. These aspirational funding levels will continue to support local educational agencies’ efforts to improve educational opportunities for pupils, to adhere to the goal of providing additional resources for local educational agencies serving pupils with the greatest needs, and to cover increasing fixed costs while preserving local control.

(c) Moreover, to the extent additional Proposition 98 revenue is available, and to the extent additional funding is committed to LCFF beyond Proposition 98, either by statute or initiative, it is the intent of the Legislature to continue to provide funding to local educational agencies through the LCFF beyond the original targets established in Section 42238.02 in 2013 and to set new, aspirational LCFF grade span adjusted base grant funding levels using dollar amounts calculated at the national average in order to ensure that all local educational agencies are given the flexibility to use funds to meet locally identified pupil and community needs, in order to keep the focus on new educational investments on the equity-based distribution model that is the LCFF, and to provide resources to public schools to meet the needs of pupils to maximize educational opportunities and keep California in the lead in the world economy.

(d) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that, as of the 2020–21 fiscal year, the LCFF grade span adjusted base grants would be equal to the following amounts to meet the national average per-pupil funding level:

(A) Twelve thousand one hundred eighty-eight dollars ($12,188) for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive.

(B) Twelve thousand three hundred seventy-seven dollars ($12,377) for grades 4 to 6, inclusive.

(C) Twelve thousand four hundred seventy-five dollars ($12,475) for grades 7 to 8, inclusive.

(D) Fourteen thousand seven hundred sixty-eight ($14,768) for grades 9 to 12, inclusive.

(2) It is the intent of the Legislature that the aspirational funding level for the alternative education grant for a county office of education determined pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 2574 is equal to the amount specified in subparagraph (D) of paragraph (1). It is further the intent of the Legislature that the amounts specified in subparagraphs (A) to (D), inclusive, of paragraph (1) are annually increased by the statutory cost-of-living adjustment described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 42238.02.

(e) In order to achieve the new, aspirational LCFF grade span adjusted base grant funding levels, in any year the Legislature authorizes, it is the intent of the Legislature to increase the statutory alternative education grant for county offices of education and LCFF grade span adjusted base grants for school districts and charter schools, determined pursuant to Sections 2574 and 42283.02, respectively, by more than the statutory cost-of-living adjustment determined pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of Section 2574 and paragraph (2) of subdivision (d) of Section 42283.02 by a percentage determined by the Director of Finance.

 Section 42238.02 of the Education Code is amended to read:

42238.02.

 (a) The amount computed pursuant to this section shall be known as the school district and charter school local control funding formula.

(b) (1) For purposes of this section “unduplicated pupil” means a pupil enrolled in a school district or a charter school who is either classified as an English learner, eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, or is a foster youth. A pupil shall be counted only once for purposes of this section if any of the following apply:

(A) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal.

(B) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is a foster youth.

(C) The pupil is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal and is classified as a foster youth.

(D) The pupil is classified as an English learner, is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and is a foster youth.

(2) Under procedures and timeframes established by the Superintendent, commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, a school district or charter school shall annually submit its enrolled free and reduced-price meal eligibility, foster youth, and English learner pupil-level records for enrolled pupils to the Superintendent using the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.

(3) (A) Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, a county office of education shall review and validate certified aggregate English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil data for school districts and charter schools under its jurisdiction to ensure the data is reported accurately. The Superintendent shall provide each county office of education with appropriate access to school district and charter school data reports in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System for purposes of ensuring data reporting accuracy.

(B) The Controller shall include the instructions necessary to enforce paragraph (2) in the audit guide required by Section 14502.1. The instructions shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, procedures for determining if the English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil counts are consistent with the school district’s or charter school’s English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil records.

(4) The Superintendent shall make the calculations pursuant to this section using the data submitted by local educational agencies, including charter schools, through the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System. Under timeframes and procedures established by the Superintendent, school districts and charter schools may review and revise their submitted data on English learner, foster youth, and free or reduced-price meal eligible pupil counts to ensure the accuracy of data reflected in the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.

(5) The Superintendent shall annually compute the percentage of unduplicated pupils for each school district and charter school by dividing the enrollment of unduplicated pupils in a school district or charter school by the total enrollment in that school district or charter school pursuant to all of the following:

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

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

(C) For the 2015–16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, divide the sum of unduplicated pupils for the current fiscal year and the two prior fiscal years by the sum of the total pupil enrollment for 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 school district’s or charter school’s 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 school district and charter school’s enrollment of unduplicated pupils for the 2013–14 and 2014–15 fiscal years and provide one-time funding, if necessary, for a school district or charter school with higher enrollment of unduplicated pupils in the 2014–15 fiscal year as compared to the 2013–14 fiscal year.

(6) 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 paragraph does not apply to a change that is the result of an audit that has been appealed pursuant to Section 41344.

(c) Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall annually calculate a local control funding formula grant for each school district and charter school in the state pursuant to this section.

(d) The Superintendent shall compute a grade span adjusted base grant equal to the total of the following amounts:

(1) For the 2013–14 fiscal year, a base grant of:

(A) Six thousand eight hundred forty-five dollars ($6,845) for average daily attendance in kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive.

(B) Six thousand nine hundred forty-seven dollars ($6,947) for average daily attendance in grades 4 to 6, inclusive.

(C) Seven thousand one hundred fifty-four dollars ($7,154) for average daily attendance in grades 7 and 8.

(D) Eight thousand two hundred eighty-nine dollars ($8,289) for average daily attendance in grades 9 to 12, inclusive.

(2) In each year the grade span adjusted base grants in paragraph (1) shall be adjusted 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.

(3) (A) The Superintendent shall compute an additional adjustment to the kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, base grant as adjusted for inflation pursuant to paragraph (2) equal to 10.4 percent. The additional grant shall be calculated by multiplying the kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, base grant, as adjusted by paragraph (2), by 10.4 percent.

(B) Until paragraph (4) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03 is effective, as a condition of the receipt of funds in this paragraph, a school district shall make progress toward maintaining an average class enrollment of not more than 24 pupils for each schoolsite in kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, unless a collectively bargained alternative annual average class enrollment for each schoolsite in those grades is agreed to by the school district, pursuant to the following calculation:

(i) Determine a school district’s average class enrollment for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, in the prior year. For the 2013–14 fiscal year, this amount shall be the average class enrollment for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, in the 2012–13 fiscal year.

(ii) Determine a school district’s proportion of total need pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03.

(iii) Determine the percentage of the need calculated in clause (ii) that is met by funding provided to the school district pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03.

(iv) Determine the difference between the amount computed pursuant to clause (i) and an average class enrollment of not more than 24 pupils.

(v) Calculate a current year average class enrollment adjustment for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, equal to the adjustment calculated in clause (iv) multiplied by the percentage determined pursuant to clause (iii).

(C) School districts that have an average class enrollment for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, of 24 pupils or less for each schoolsite in the 2012–13 fiscal year, shall be exempt from the requirements of subparagraph (B) so long as the school district continues to maintain an average class enrollment for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, of not more than 24 pupils, unless a collectively bargained alternative ratio is agreed to by the school district.

(D) As a condition of the receipt of funds in this paragraph, all school districts shall maintain an average class enrollment for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, of not more than 24 pupils for each schoolsite in kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, unless a collectively bargained alternative ratio is agreed to by the school district.

(E) The average class enrollment requirement for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, established pursuant to this paragraph shall not be subject to waiver by the state board pursuant to Section 33050 or by the Superintendent.

(F) The Controller shall include the instructions necessary to enforce this paragraph in the audit guide required by Section 14502.1. The instructions shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, procedures for determining if the average class enrollment for each schoolsite for kindergarten and grades 1 to 3, inclusive, exceeds 24 pupils, or an alternative average class enrollment for each schoolsite pursuant to a collectively bargained alternative ratio. The procedures for determining average class enrollment for each schoolsite shall include criteria for employing sampling.

(4) The Superintendent shall compute an additional adjustment to the base grant for grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as adjusted for inflation pursuant to paragraph (2), equal to 2.6 percent. The additional grant shall be calculated by multiplying the base grant for grades 9 to 12, inclusive, as adjusted by paragraph (2), by 2.6 percent.

(5)The Superintendent shall annually compute an additional adjustment to the grade span adjusted base grants in paragraph (1) to reflect the percentage, as determined by the Director of Finance, equal to the amount of a grant add-on allocated pursuant to Section 42238.026 in the prior fiscal year.

(e) The Superintendent shall compute a supplemental grant add-on equal to 20 percent of 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), for each school district’s or charter school’s percentage of unduplicated pupils calculated pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (b). The supplemental grant shall be calculated by multiplying the base grants as specified in subparagraphs (A) to (D), inclusive, of paragraph (1), as adjusted by paragraphs (2) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (d), by 20 percent and by the percentage of unduplicated pupils calculated pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (b) in that school district or charter school. The supplemental grant shall be expended in accordance with the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 42238.07.

(f) (1) The Superintendent shall compute a concentration grant add-on equal to 50 percent of 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), 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 of 55 percent of the total enrollment in that school district or charter school.

(2) (A) For a charter school physically located in only one school district, the 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 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 of 55 percent of the school districts in which the charter school has a school facility. The concentration grant shall be expended in accordance with the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 42238.07.

(B) For purposes of this paragraph and subparagraph (A) of paragraph (1) of subdivision (f) of Section 42238.03, a charter school shall report its physical location to the department under timeframes established by the department. For a charter school authorized by a school district, the department shall include the authorizing school district in the department’s determination of physical location. For a charter school authorized on appeal pursuant to subdivision (j) of Section 47605, the department shall include the sponsoring school district in the department’s determination of physical location. The reported physical location of the charter school shall be considered final as of the second principal apportionment for that fiscal year. For purposes of this paragraph, the percentage of unduplicated pupils of the school district associated with the charter school pursuant to subparagraph (A) shall be considered final as of the second principal apportionment for that fiscal year.

(g) The Superintendent shall compute an add-on to the total sum of a school district’s or charter school’s base, supplemental, and concentration grants equal to the amount of funding a school district or charter school received from funds allocated pursuant to the Targeted Instructional Improvement Block Grant program, as set forth in Article 6 (commencing with Section 41540) of Chapter 3.2, for the 2012–13 fiscal year, as that article read on January 1, 2013. A school district or charter school shall not receive a total funding amount from this add-on greater than the total amount of funding received by the school district or charter school from that program in the 2012–13 fiscal year. The amount computed pursuant to this subdivision shall reflect the reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.03.

(h) (1) The Superintendent shall compute an add-on to the total sum of a school district’s or charter school’s base, supplemental, and concentration grants equal to the amount of funding a school district or charter school received from funds allocated pursuant to the Home-to-School Transportation program, as set forth in former Article 2 (commencing with Section 39820) of Chapter 1 of Part 23.5, former Article 10 (commencing with Section 41850) of Chapter 5, and the Small School District Transportation program, as set forth in former Article 4.5 (commencing with Section 42290), as those articles read on January 1, 2013, for the 2012–13 fiscal year. A school district or charter school shall not receive a total funding amount from this add-on greater than the total amount received by the school district or charter school for those programs in the 2012–13 fiscal year. The amount computed pursuant to this subdivision shall reflect the reduction specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.03.

(2) If a home-to-school transportation joint powers agency, established pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code for purposes of providing pupil transportation, received an apportionment directly from the Superintendent from any of the funding sources specified in paragraph (1) for the 2012–13 fiscal year, the joint powers agency may identify the member local educational agencies and transfer entitlement to that funding to any of those member local educational agencies by reporting to the Superintendent, on or before September 30, 2015, the reassignment of a specified amount of the joint powers agency’s 2012–13 fiscal year entitlement to the member local educational agency. Commencing with the 2015–16 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall compute an add-on to the total sum of a school district’s or charter school’s base, supplemental, and concentration grants equal to the amount of the entitlement to funding transferred by the joint powers agency to the member school district or charter school.

(i) (1) The sum of the local control funding formula rates computed pursuant to subdivisions (c) to (f), inclusive, shall be multiplied by:

(A) For school districts, the average daily attendance of the school district in the corresponding grade level ranges computed pursuant to Section 42238.05, excluding the average daily attendance computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.05 for purposes of the computation specified in subdivision (d).

(B) For charter schools, the total current year average daily attendance in the corresponding grade level ranges.

(2) The amount computed pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 42280) shall be added to the amount computed pursuant to paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (d), as multiplied by subparagraph (A) or (B) of paragraph (1), as appropriate.

(j) The Superintendent shall adjust the sum of each school district’s or charter school’s amount determined in subdivisions (g) to (i), inclusive, pursuant to the calculation specified in Section 42238.03, less the sum of the following:

(1) (A) For school districts, the property tax revenue received pursuant to Chapter 3.5 (commencing with Section 75) and Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code.

(B) For charter schools, the in-lieu property tax amount provided to a charter school pursuant to Section 47635.

(l) (1) This section shall not be interpreted to authorize a school district that receives funding on behalf of a charter school pursuant to Section 47651 to redirect this funding for another purpose unless otherwise authorized in law pursuant to paragraph (2) or pursuant to an agreement between the charter school and its chartering authority.

(2) A school district that received funding on behalf of a locally funded charter school in the 2012–13 fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 42605, Section 42606, and subdivision (b) of Section 47634.1, as those sections read on January 1, 2013, or a school district that was required to pass through funding to a conversion charter school in the 2012–13 fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 42606, as that section read on January 1, 2013, may annually redirect for another purpose a percentage of the amount of the funding received on behalf of that charter school. The percentage of funding that may be redirected shall be determined pursuant to the following computation:

(A) (i) Determine the sum of the need fulfilled for that charter school pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03 in the then current fiscal year for the charter school.

(ii) Determine the sum of the need fulfilled in every fiscal year before the then current fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 42238.03 adjusted for changes in average daily attendance pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.03 for the charter school.

(iii) Subtract the amount computed pursuant to paragraphs (1) to (3), inclusive, of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.03 from the amount computed for that charter school under the local control funding formula entitlement computed pursuant to subdivision (i) of this section.

(iv) Compute a percentage by dividing the sum of the amounts computed pursuant to clauses (i) and (ii) by the amount computed pursuant to clause (iii).

(B) Multiply the percentage computed pursuant to subparagraph (A) by the amount of funding the school district received on behalf of the charter school in the 2012–13 fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 42605, Section 42606, and subdivision (b) of Section 47634.1, as those sections read on January 1, 2013.

(C) The maximum amount that may be redirected shall be the lesser of the amount of funding the school district received on behalf of the charter school in the 2012–13 fiscal year pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 42605, Section 42606, and subdivision (b) of Section 47634.1, as those sections read on January 1, 2013, or the amount computed pursuant to subparagraph (B).
