Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41840. Section 41840.

A school district or county superintendent of schools may only claim average daily attendance for apportionment purposes for schools or classes maintained for adults in correctional facilities if those classes meet the requirements of Section 41976.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41841.5. Section 41841.5.

(a) The Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allocate to each school district maintaining a secondary school or county superintendent of schools that offers adult education classes for adults in correctional facilities an amount equal to the actual current expense of the district or county superintendent of schools of maintaining those classes for the fiscal year. The amount so allowed for each unit of average daily attendance in these classes shall in no event exceed the statewide average revenue limit for adults multiplied by 0.8. However, for the 1993–94 and 1994–95 fiscal years, the amount so allowed to a district or county superintendent of schools for each unit of average daily attendance in classes for adults in correctional facilities shall in no event exceed the statewide average revenue limit at which adults in correctional facilities were funded in the 1992–93 fiscal year, as adjusted by any cost-of-living adjustment pursuant to Section 42238.1. For the purposes of this section “correctional facilities” includes any county jail, county industrial farm, or county or joint county road camp. Each school district or county superintendent of schools shall receive advanced apportionments as authorized by Sections 41330, 41332, and 41335 on the basis of the cost data report of the district for the preceding fiscal year and each district or county superintendent of schools shall file a preliminary cost data report based upon estimated current expenses. For purposes of this section, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall, by rules and regulations, establish minimum standards for the conduct of the adult education classes, including, but not necessarily limited to, attendance requirements and requirements concerning records to be kept and reports to be submitted. (b) There is hereby appropriated from the General Fund to Section A of the State School Fund the following sums for the following fiscal years for the purposes of subdivision (a): (1) For the 1980-81 fiscal year $1,020,100 (2) For the 1981-82 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter $1,113,000 Commencing with the 1982–83 fiscal year, the amounts in paragraph (2) shall be cumulatively increased by 6 percent, unless otherwise provided by law. Commencing with the 1990–91 fiscal year, the amounts in paragraph (2) shall be increased by the percentage change determined pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 42238.1.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41841.6. Section 41841.6.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b) of Section 46191, for the 2000–01 fiscal year for purposes of Sections 1909 and 41841.5, in calculating the average daily attendance for schools or classes for adults in correctional facilities, a school district or county board of education may not claim or report any increase in average daily attendance in excess of the average daily attendance claimed and authorized pursuant to this article during the previous fiscal year multiplied by a factor of 1.025 to 1.14, as specified as follows: (1) A school district or county office of education that has not experienced a loss of average daily attendance due to extenuating circumstances may not claim or report an increase in average daily attendance in excess of that authorized pursuant to this article during the previous fiscal year multiplied by 1.025. (2) A school district that experienced a loss of units of average daily attendance due to extenuating circumstances may not claim or report an increase in average daily attendance in excess of that authorized pursuant to this article during the previous fiscal year multiplied by a factor equivalent to the number derived by adding 1.025 to the extenuating circumstances factor, as defined pursuant to paragraph (3). (3) For purposes of this section, “a school district or county office of education that experienced a loss of average daily attendance due to extenuating circumstances” means a school district or county office of education that experienced a loss of average daily attendance as a result of the temporary or permanent closure of jails, a jail, or a unit thereof, that occurred on or after June 30, 1993, at which the district or office provided jail education programs that were subject to reimbursement by the state. (4) For purposes of paragraph (2), “extenuating circumstances factor” means that number derived by dividing the number of units of average daily attendance lost to circumstances defined in paragraph (3) divided by the number of units of average daily attendance claimed in the fiscal year prior to the extenuating circumstances occurring, provided that the factor does not exceed 0.115. (5) Any school district or county office of education claiming additional average daily attendance pursuant to the “extenuating circumstances factor” defined in paragraph (4) shall document the extenuating circumstances and the data involved in calculating their extenuating circumstances factor. This subdivision shall apply only to average daily attendance generated in the 2000–01 fiscal year. (b) Except as otherwise provided in subdivision (b) of Section 46191, commencing with the 2001-02 fiscal year, and for each fiscal year thereafter, for purposes of Sections 1909 and 41841.5, in calculating the average daily attendance for schools or classes for adults in correctional facilities, a school district or county board of education may not claim or report any increase in average daily attendance in excess of the average daily attendance authorized pursuant to this article during the previous fiscal year multiplied by 1.025, unless the Legislature approves a greater increase for that fiscal year in the annual Budget Act. (c) Notwithstanding subdivision (b), for the 2003–04 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, a school district or county office of education shall calculate the maximum average daily attendance it may claim for schools and classes for adults in correctional facilities for the then-current fiscal year by multiplying the maximum average daily attendance that it would have been authorized to claim for those programs, without regard to actual average daily attendance, for the immediately preceding fiscal year by 1.025, or a greater increase if approved by the Legislature for that fiscal year in the annual Budget Act or other measure. (d) It is the intent of the Legislature to provide, through subsequent measures, additional adjustments to increase allocations for adults in correctional facility educational programs to the extent that funds are available. (e) No state funds shall be allocated to a school district or county board of education for units of average daily attendance for programs set forth in this section unless the allocations are in compliance with this section.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 41841.8. Section 41841.8.

Notwithstanding Sections 1909 and 41841.5, or any other provision of law, commencing with the 1994–95 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, any school district or county superintendent of schools that did not maintain schools or classes for adults in correctional facilities in the 1993–94 fiscal year and that subsequently offers those schools or classes shall not claim, or receive apportionments for, more than 20 units of average daily attendance for the first year in which the school district or county superintendent of schools offers those classes.
