Cal. Education Code - EDC § 42238. Section 42238.

(a) For the 1984–85 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the county superintendent of schools shall determine a revenue limit for each school district in the county pursuant to this section. (b) The base revenue limit for a fiscal year shall be determined by adding to the base revenue limit for the prior fiscal year the following amounts: (1) The inflation adjustment specified in Section 42238.1. (2) For the 1995–96 fiscal year, the equalization adjustment specified in Section 42238.4. (3) For the 1996–97 fiscal year, the equalization adjustments specified in Sections 42238.41, 42238.42, and 42238.43. (4) For the 1985–86 fiscal year, the amount per unit of average daily attendance received in the 1984–85 fiscal year pursuant to Section 42238.7. (5) For the 1985–86, 1986–87, and 1987–88 fiscal years, the amount per unit of average daily attendance received in the prior fiscal year pursuant to Section 42238.8. (6) For the 2004–05 fiscal year, the equalization adjustment specified in Section 42238.44. (7) For the 2006–07 fiscal year, the equalization adjustment specified in Section 42238.48. (8) For the 2011–12 fiscal year, the equalization adjustment specified in Section 42238.49. (c) (1) (A) For the 2010–11 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall compute an add-on for each school district by adding the inflation adjustment specified in Section 42238.1 to the adjustment specified in Section 42238.485. (B) For the 2011–12 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall compute an add-on for each school district by adding the inflation adjustment specified in Section 42238.1 to the amount computed pursuant to this paragraph for the prior fiscal year. (2) Commencing with the 2010–11 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall compute an add-on for each school district by dividing each school district’s fiscal year average daily attendance computed pursuant to Section 42238.5 by the total adjustments in funding for each school district made for the 2007–08 fiscal year pursuant to Section 42238.22 as it read on January 1, 2009. (d) The sum of the base revenue limit computed pursuant to subdivision (b) and the add-on computed pursuant to subdivision (c) shall be multiplied by the school district average daily attendance computed pursuant to Section 42238.5. (e) For school districts electing to compute units of average daily attendance pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 42238.5, the amount computed pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 42280) shall be added to the amount computed in subdivision (c) or (d), as appropriate. (f) For the 1984–85 fiscal year only, the county superintendent of schools shall reduce the total revenue limit computed in this section by the amount of the decreased employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System resulting from enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982, offset by any increase in those contributions, as of the 1983–84 fiscal year, resulting from subsequent changes in employer contribution rates. (g) The reduction required by subdivision (f) shall be calculated as follows: (1) Determine the amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the 1983–84 fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees’ Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately before the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 was in effect during the 1983–84 fiscal year. (2) Subtract from the amount determined in paragraph (1) the greater of subparagraph (A) or (B): (A) The amount of employer contributions that would have been made in the 1983–84 fiscal year if the applicable Public Employees’ Retirement System employer contribution rate in effect immediately after the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of 1982 was in effect during the 1983–84 fiscal year. (B) The actual amount of employer contributions made to the Public Employees’ Retirement System in the 1983–84 fiscal year. (3) For purposes of this subdivision, employer contributions to the Public Employees’ Retirement System for either of the following shall be excluded from the calculation specified above: (A) Positions supported totally by federal funds that were subject to supplanting restrictions. (B) Positions supported, to the extent of employer contributions not exceeding twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) by a single educational agency, from a revenue source determined on the basis of equity to be properly excludable from the provisions of this subdivision by the Superintendent with the approval of the Director of Finance. (4) For accounting purposes, the reduction made by this subdivision may be reflected as an expenditure from appropriate sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent. (h) The Superintendent shall apportion to each school district the amount determined in this section less the sum of: (1) The school district’s 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. (2) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Part 18.5 (commencing with Section 38101) of Division 2 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (3) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 16140) of Part 1 of Division 4 of Title 2 of the Government Code. (4) Prior years’ taxes and taxes on the unsecured roll. (5) Fifty percent of the amount received pursuant to Section 41603. (6) (A) The amount, if any, received pursuant to the Community Redevelopment Law (Part 1 (commencing with Section 33000) of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code), except for any amount received pursuant to Section 33401 or 33676 of the Health and Safety Code that is used for land acquisition, facility construction, facility reconstruction, facility remodeling, maintenance, or deferred maintenance, and except for any amount received pursuant to Section 33492.15 of, paragraph (4) of subdivision (a) of Section 33607.5 of, or Section 33607.7 of, the Health and Safety Code that is allocated exclusively for educational facilities. (B) The amount, if any, received pursuant to Sections 34177, 34179.5, 34179.6, and 34188 of the Health and Safety Code. (C) The amount, if any, received pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution. (7) For a unified school district, other than a unified school district that has converted all of its schools to charter status pursuant to Section 47606, the amount of statewide average general-purpose funding per unit of average daily attendance received by school districts for each of four grade level ranges, as computed by the department pursuant to Section 47633, multiplied by the average daily attendance, in corresponding grade level ranges, of any pupils who attend charter schools funded pursuant to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 47630) of Part 26.8 of Division 4 for which the school district is the sponsoring local educational agency, as defined in Section 47632, and who reside in and would otherwise have been eligible to attend a noncharter school of the school district. (i) A transfer of pupils of grades 7 and 8 between an elementary school district and a high school district shall not result in the receiving school district receiving a revenue limit apportionment for those pupils that exceeds 105 percent of the statewide average revenue limit for the type and size of the receiving school district. (j) Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, this section shall be used only for purposes of allocating revenues received pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution. (k) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2033, and, as of January 1, 2034, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2034, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 42238.2. Section 42238.2.

(a) (1) Notwithstanding Section 42238.5 or any other law, a school district that meets any of the following conditions shall be entitled to an adjustment to its units of average daily attendance pursuant to this section: (A) The school district experiences a decline in the number of units of average daily attendance in excess of 8 percent of its total average daily attendance as a result of the closure of a facility operated by a branch of the United States Armed Forces in the school district’s boundaries. (B) The school district experiences a decline in the number of units of average daily attendance that is less than 8 percent but at least 5 percent of its total average daily attendance as a result of the closure of a facility operated by a branch of the United States Armed Forces in that school district’s boundaries, upon a finding by both the Superintendent and the Director of Finance that both of the following conditions exist: (i) The school district demonstrates that at the end of a three-year period the school district will experience a 10-percent reduction in the amount of funding that the school district would otherwise have received from state apportionments, funding received pursuant to the California State Lottery Act of 1984 (Chapter 12.5 (commencing with Section 8880) of Division 1 of Title 2 of the Government Code), and funding received pursuant to federal Title VIII of Public Law 103-382, as a result of the loss of pupils related to the closure of a facility operated by a branch of the United States Armed Forces. (ii) The fiscal crisis and management assistance team established pursuant to Section 42127.8 has reviewed the school district’s finances and has found that the school district has taken significant steps to reduce expenditure. (C) The school district experiences a decline in the number of units of average daily attendance in excess of 5 percent of its total average daily attendance and the Director of Finance determines that the school district is likely, within eight years of that decline, to maintain a number of units of average daily attendance that is equivalent to the number of units of average daily attendance maintained by the school district before the decline. Notwithstanding subdivision (b), loan repayments shall commence no later than the fourth year after the base year or at a later time, as determined by the Director of Finance. (2) For purposes of this section, the year preceding a decline shall be the base year. (b) In the second year after the base year, the district average daily attendance pursuant to Section 42238.5 may, if the school district chooses, be increased by 75 percent of the difference between the base year units of average daily attendance and the units of average daily attendance in the first year of decline. In the third year after the base year, the school district average daily attendance pursuant to Section 42238.5 may, if the school district chooses, be increased by 50 percent of the difference between the base year units of average daily attendance and the units of average daily attendance in the first year of decline. The amount of money represented by these increases shall be considered a loan to the school district. Loan repayments shall commence no later than the fourth year after the base year. (c) (1) The Superintendent, in consultation with a school district subject to this section, shall determine a schedule for repayment of the total amount loaned pursuant to this section that may not exceed 10 years. Payments shall include interest charged at a rate based on the most current investment rate of the Pooled Money Investment Account in the General Fund as of the date of the disbursement of funds to the school district. (2) Upon written notification by the Superintendent that the school district has not made one or more of the payments required by the schedule established pursuant to paragraph (1), the Controller shall withhold from Section A of the State School Fund the defaulted payment that shall not exceed the amount of any apportionment entitlement of the school district to moneys in Section A of the State School Fund. In that regard, the Controller shall withhold the amount of any payment made under this subdivision, including reimbursement of the Controller’s administrative costs as determined under a schedule approved by the California Debt Advisory Commission, from subsequent apportionments to the school district from Section A of the State School Fund. (3) Any apportionments made by the Controller pursuant to paragraph (2) shall be deemed to be an allocation to the school district for purposes of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, and for purposes of Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 41200) of Part 24. (d) In no event shall the adjustment provided by this section cause the apportionment to a school district to exceed the amount that would otherwise be calculated for apportionment to the school district pursuant to Sections 42238 and 42238.1. (e) This section does not apply to a school district that experiences a decline in enrollment as a result of a school district reorganization pursuant to Chapter 3 (commencing with Section 35500) of Part 21 or any other law. (f) Commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year, this section shall be used only for purposes of allocating revenues received pursuant to subparagraph (B) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (e) of Section 36 of Article XIII of the California Constitution. (g) This section shall become inoperative on July 1, 2033, and, as of January 1, 2034, is repealed, unless a later enacted statute, that becomes operative on or before January 1, 2034, deletes or extends the dates on which it becomes inoperative and is repealed.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 42238.02. Section 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. (E) (i) Notwithstanding any other law, for purposes of subparagraph (C), the unduplicated pupils and total pupil enrollment in prior fiscal years shall be the following: (I) For a transferred charter school, the counts shall be equal to the counts reported for the original charter school. (II) For an acquiring charter school, the counts shall be equal to the counts reported for the original charter school. This subclause shall become inoperative on July 1, 2026, unless its operation is extended by the Legislature. (III) For the restructured portions of a divided charter school, the counts shall be zero. (IV) For the remaining portion of a divided charter school, the counts shall be equal to the counts reported for the original charter school. (ii) The definitions in Section 47654 apply for purposes of this subparagraph. (6) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 14002, 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 exception, as described in paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section 41341. (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 pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (5) 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 paragraphs (2) and (5), 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) (i) Upon full implementation of the local control funding formula, 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. (ii) Notwithstanding clause (i), for purposes of meeting the requirements of paragraph (1) of subdivision (g) of Section 48000, a school district shall maintain an average transitional kindergarten class enrollment of not more than 24 pupils for each schoolsite. (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 pursuant to paragraphs (2) and (5), 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 paragraphs (2) and (5) by 2.6 percent. (5) For the 2022–23 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall increase the base grants for kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, by 6.7 percent. This adjustment shall be calculated by multiplying the grade span-adjusted base grants calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) for the 2021–22 fiscal year by 6.7 percent. The adjustment shall be included in grade span-adjusted base grants amounts for purposes of the adjustment pursuant to paragraph (2) commencing with the 2023–24 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 (5), 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 (5), 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) (A) 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 (5), 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 (5), 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. (B) Commencing with the 2021–22 fiscal year, the concentration grant add-on referenced in subparagraph (A) shall instead be equal to 65 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 (5), 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 (5), inclusive, of subdivision (d), by 65 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 on appeal pursuant to subdivision (k) of Section 47605, the department shall include the school district that initially denied the petition in the department’s determination of physical location. Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of Section 14002, the reported physical location of the charter school shall be considered final as of the second principal apportionment for that fiscal year, and, 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) (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 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. (2) Notwithstanding Section 42238.05, for the 2022–23 fiscal year to the 2024–25 fiscal year, inclusive, 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 two thousand eight hundred thirteen dollars ($2,813) multiplied by the then current fiscal year’s second principal apportionment period average daily attendance in transitional kindergarten. Commencing with the 2023–24 fiscal year, the add-on computed pursuant to this paragraph shall be adjusted by the percentage change applied pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d). It is the intent of the Legislature that the costs to meet the requirements of paragraph (2) of subdivision (g) of Section 48000 be supported by the add-on computed pursuant to this paragraph. (3) Commencing with the 2025–26 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 five thousand five hundred forty-five dollars ($5,545) multiplied by the then current fiscal year’s second principal apportionment period average daily attendance in transitional kindergarten. Commencing with the 2026–27 fiscal year, the add-on computed pursuant to this paragraph shall be adjusted by the percentage change applied pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (d). It is the intent of the Legislature that the costs to meet the requirements of paragraph (3) of subdivision (g) of Section 48000 be supported by the add-on computed pursuant to this paragraph. (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. (3) Commencing in the 2023–24 fiscal year, the add-on amounts referenced in paragraphs (1) and (2) shall receive the annual cost-of-living adjustment specified in paragraph (2) of subdivision (d). (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.

(k) A school district shall annually transfer to each of its charter schools funding in lieu of property taxes pursuant to Section 47635. ( l ) (1) This section does not 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.

(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 Superintendent shall annually apportion any entitlement provided to the state special schools from the items specified in subparagraph (A) to the state special schools in the same amount as the state special schools received from those items in the 2012–13 fiscal year. (D) Commencing with the 2015–16 fiscal year, any portion of funding transferred to a school district or charter school by a joint powers agency pursuant to clause (iii) of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (6) of subdivision (a) shall be deemed to be included in the entitlements specified in subparagraph (A) for the school district or charter school. (3) The allocations pursuant to Sections 42606 and 47634.1, as those sections read on January 1, 2013, divided by the 2012–13 average daily attendance of the charter school. That quotient shall be multiplied by the current fiscal year average daily attendance of the charter school. (4) (A) For purposes of this subdivision, funding for a restructured charter school shall be calculated as follows: (i) Funding for a transferred charter school that meets the requirements of Section 47653 shall be calculated by doing both of the following: (I) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (3), using the quotient calculated for the original charter school. (II) For purposes of paragraph (2), using the same amount of entitlement funding calculated for the charter school before the restructuring. (ii) (I) Funding for an acquiring charter school that meets the requirements of Section 47653 shall be calculated by doing both of the following: (ia) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (3), using the median quotient calculated for the original charter schools.

(II) This clause shall become inoperative on July 1, 2026, unless its operation is extended by the Legislature. (iii) Funding for a divided charter school that meets the requirements of Section 47653 shall be calculated by doing the following: (I) For purposes of paragraphs (1) and (3), using the quotients calculated for the original charter school for both the restructured portions of a divided charter school and the remaining portion of a divided charter school. (II) For purposes of paragraph (2), dividing the amount between the restructured portions of a divided charter school and the remaining portion of a divided charter school based on each charter school’s share of the combined average daily attendance of the original charter school computed pursuant to Section 42238.05 as of the second principal apportionment in the fiscal year immediately before the first fiscal year of instruction as a restructured charter school. Data regarding average daily attendance shall be provided by the charter school in a format prescribed by the Superintendent. The total average daily attendance attributable to the restructured and remaining portions of a divided charter school shall not exceed the total average daily attendance of the original charter school for the applicable fiscal year. The amounts shall be final as of the second principal apportionment for the first fiscal year of instruction as a restructured charter school and each fiscal year thereafter. (B) The definitions in Section 47654 apply for purposes of this paragraph. (f) (1) For purposes of this section, commencing with the 2013–14 fiscal year and until all school districts and charter schools equal or exceed their local control funding formula target computed pursuant to Section 42238.02, as determined by the calculation of a zero difference pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b), a newly operational charter school shall be determined to have a prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance equal to the lesser of: (A) The prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance for the school district in which the charter school is physically located. The Superintendent shall calculate the funding amount per unit of average daily attendance for this purpose by dividing the total local control funding formula entitlement, calculated pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b), received by that school district in the prior year by prior year funded average daily attendance of that school district. For purposes of this subparagraph, a charter school that is physically located in more than one school district shall use the calculated local control funding entitlement per unit of average daily attendance of the school district with the highest prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance. For purposes of this subparagraph, the prior year funding amount per unit of average daily attendance for the school district in which the charter school is physically located shall be considered final as of the second principal apportionment of the prior fiscal year. (B) The charter school’s local control funding formula rate computed pursuant to subdivisions (c) to (i), inclusive, of Section 42238.02. (2) For charter schools funded pursuant to paragraph (1), the charter school shall be eligible to receive growth funding pursuant to subdivision (b) toward meeting the newly operational charter school’s local control funding formula target. (3) Upon a determination that all school districts and charter schools equal or exceed the local control funding formula target computed pursuant to Section 42238.02, as determined by the calculation of a zero difference pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) for all school districts and charter schools, this subdivision shall not apply and the charter school shall receive an allocation equal to the amount calculated under Section 42238.02 in that fiscal year and future fiscal years. (4) For purposes of this subdivision, the determination of a charter school’s physical location shall be considered final as of the second principal apportionment for the applicable fiscal year. (g) (1) In each fiscal year the Superintendent shall determine the percentage of school districts that are apportioned funding pursuant to this section that is less than the amount computed pursuant to Section 42238.02 as of the second principal apportionments of the fiscal year. If the percentage is less than 10 percent, the Superintendent shall apportion funding to school districts and charter schools equal to the amount computed pursuant to Section 42238.02 in that fiscal year. (2) For each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall apportion funding to a school district and charter school equal to the amount computed pursuant to Section 42238.02.

(a) The Legislature finds and declares all of the following: (1) According to 2023 findings from the Economic Policy Institute (EPI), inflation-adjusted average weekly wages of teachers have been relatively flat since 1996, finding that the average weekly wages of public school teachers (adjusted only for inflation) increased just twenty-nine dollars ($29) from 1996 to 2021, from one thousand three hundred nineteen dollars ($1,319) to one thousand three hundred forty-eight dollars ($1,348) (in 2021 dollars), where, in contrast, inflation-adjusted weekly wages of other college graduates rose from one thousand five hundred sixty-four dollars ($1,564) to two thousand nine dollars ($2,009) over the same period — a four hundred forty-five-dollar ($445) increase. (2) The EPI also found that the teacher wage penalty, when comparing wages of teachers to other professions with similar educational and certification requirements, grew to a record high in 2021 at 23.5 percent nationally and 17.6 percent in California, up from 6.1 percent in 1996. (3) Even when taking other benefits into account, the teacher total compensation penalty grew by 11.5 percentage points from 1993 to 2021. (4) 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 embedded in Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (b) Therefore, it is the intent of the Legislature to establish a public education transparency and accountability lens to better inform the Members of the Legislature as to the impacts of the state budget on the pay and benefits of the education workforce by reporting salary and benefits data of certificated and classified employees and the impacts on the professional respect and competitiveness of pay and benefits for classified and certificated employees.

Cal. Education Code - EDC § 42238.016. Section 42238.016.

(a) The department shall, on or before July 1, 2026, create a data collection system for salary and benefits data for represented certificated and classified nonmanagement employees. The data collected shall include salary, benefits, and full-time equivalent employee counts for certificated employees and for employees in the following classified bargaining unit classifications, which shall be collected in the same manner as for certificated employees, as determined by the department: (1) Entry level schoolsite secretary or administrative assistant. (2) Entry level central office secretary or administrative assistant. (3) Entry level custodian. (4) Entry level bus driver. (5) Entry level food service worker.

A school district or county office of education that is the chartering authority or designated oversight agency of a locally funded charter school as described in Section 47651 shall complete and report the data to the department for the locally funded charter school. (2) (A) For the 2026–27 fiscal year, the department shall make the data for the immediate prior fiscal year submitted by school districts, county offices of education, and direct-funded charter schools pursuant to this section publicly available in a downloadable open file data format by February 26, 2027. (B) Commencing with the 2027–28 fiscal year, the department shall make the data for the immediate prior fiscal year submitted by school districts, county offices of education, and direct-funded charter schools publicly available in a downloadable open file data format pursuant to this section by December 31 of each year. (c) On or before January 31, 2027, and on or before November 30 annually thereafter, the department shall report to the Legislature, in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code, on the progress of school districts, county offices of education, and charter schools in increasing salaries for classified employees and certificated employees. This report shall include the following: (1) The change in salary rates for certificated employees as compared to the last 10 fiscal years or, if the data has been filed for fewer than 10 fiscal years, whichever year the data was filed for first. (2) The change in salary rates for classified employees as compared to the last 10 fiscal years or, if the data has been filed for fewer than 10 fiscal years, whichever year the data was filed for first. (3) The salary rate changes year over year.

(5) The rate of total compensation changes year over year. (d) For purposes of this section, the following definitions apply: (1) “Classified bargaining unit classification” does not include, for purposes of determining employees in that classification, confidential employees as defined in Section 3540.1 of the Government Code. (2) “Full-time equivalent” means, for classified employees, the total number of full-time equivalent employees in the local educational agency, with the number of full-time equivalent employees in each classified bargaining unit classification computed as the sum of both of the following: (A) The sum of the full-time equivalent of employees who work full-time hours in each work day, as defined by the local educational agency, in that classification. Each of these employees shall count as 1.0 full-time equivalent. (B) The sum of the full-time equivalent of employees who work less than full-time hours in each work day, as defined by the local educational agency, in that classification. The full-time equivalent of these employees shall be calculated by dividing the number of hours each employee works each day in that classification by the number of full-time hours. (3) “Salary” means the hourly wage paid for work by classified employees or the annual wage paid for work by certificated employees.

(2) In the 2021–22 school year, a school district or county office of education that received a waiver by June 15, 2022, pursuant to subdivision (g) of Section 51745, from independent study requirements, or a school district or county office of education that entered into a contract with a county office of education or an interdistrict transfer agreement with another school district pursuant to subdivision (f) of Section 51745 for the offering of independent study, shall be deemed to have met the requirements specified in paragraph (1). (3) (A) On or before November 1, 2022, a school district or county office of education shall certify its compliance with paragraph (1) or (2) using a form the department shall provide for this purpose. A school district or county office of education that does not certify compliance shall not receive the 2021–22 average daily attendance calculation pursuant to this Section. (B) The department shall make this form available to school districts and county offices of education on or before October 11, 2022. (4) The 2022–23 fiscal year Guide for Annual Audits of K–12 Local Education Agencies and State Compliance Reporting, the Controller shall incorporate verification of compliance with the requirements specified in subparagraphs (A) and (B) of paragraph (1), which may include reviewing the local educational agency’s annual audit for the 2021–22 fiscal year to determine compliance with those requirements.

(a) On or before January 1, 2026, the Legislative Analyst’s Office shall submit a report to the Legislature, in compliance with Section 9795 of the Government Code, on the effects of changing the pupil count methodology of the local control funding formula from average daily attendance to pupil enrollment. The report, at a minimum, shall analyze all of the following, to the extent data is available: (1) The legislative history of the change from funding excused absences to funding based on average daily attendance pursuant to Senate Bill 727 (Chapter 855 of the Statutes of 1997), including legislative intent and any indications of inaccurate or inappropriate attendance reporting of excused absences. (2) The impact on attendance of the change from funding excused absences to funding based on average daily attendance pursuant to Senate Bill 727 (Chapter 855 of the Statutes of 1997), including statewide attendance, and the equity impact of this change, including attendance by pupil subgroup, and attendance at local educational agencies with high percentages of pupils who are English learners, low-income pupils, and foster youth. (3) The programmatic changes made by local educational agencies to increase attendance after the switch to funding based on average daily attendance pursuant to Senate Bill 727 (Chapter 855 of the Statutes of 1997). (4) The methods used by other states to count pupils for education funding purposes and the ways in which other states create incentives for local educational agencies to encourage pupil attendance. (5) A review of research regarding both of the following: (A) Evidence-based approaches to improving pupil attendance. (B) The extent to which a state’s method of funding affects pupil attendance rates. (6) The fiscal, programmatic, and administrative impacts of changing the pupil count methodology of the local control funding formula from average daily attendance to pupil enrollment, including the effects on the state and local educational agencies. (7) The potential impacts on pupil attendance of changing the pupil count methodology of the local control funding formula from average daily attendance to pupil enrollment, including the effects on the state and local educational agencies, including by pupil grade and pupil subgroups as described in Section 52052. (8) How a change to enrollment-based funding would affect local educational agencies of varying sizes, locations, and pupil demographics. (9) Alternative methods of changing the local control funding formula that would have a similar effect on local educational agencies serving a higher percentage of English learners, low-income pupils, and foster youth. (10) Phase-in approaches to implement the cost of an enrollment-based funding model over several years that do not reduce the funding received by any local educational agency. (11) If the pupil count methodology for the local control funding formula is changed, whether the state should continue using average daily attendance for the Proposition 98 funding calculation and other education programs, such as lottery funding. (12) The impacts on Proposition 98 and the minimum funding guarantee set forth in Sections 8 and 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution and its implementing statutes, and the ability of the local control funding formula with a pupil count methodology based on pupil enrollment to fund existing and ongoing public education obligations.
