	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2587, as introduced, Wilk. School funding: average daily
attendance calculation.

calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified.
Existing law requires the local control funding formula, in part, to
be based on average daily attendance, as defined.
   This bill would provide that, for the purposes of funding, the
average daily attendance for a school district or charter school that
has an average daily attendance calculated to be 94% or higher shall
be considered 100%.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
