BILL NUMBER: AB 673	INTRODUCED
	BILL TEXT


INTRODUCED BY   Assembly Member Carter

                        FEBRUARY 25, 2009

   An act to amend Section 52335.4 of the Education Code, relating to
regional occupational centers or programs.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 673, as introduced, Carter. Regional occupational centers or
programs: apportionments.
   Existing law prescribes a formula for the apportionment of funds
to regional occupational centers or programs. This formula requires
the Superintendent of Public Instruction to calculate the funded
growth average daily attendance for each regional occupational center
or program (ROC/P).
   This bill would require, if the growth average daily attendance
funded in the annual Budget Act for any fiscal year is a negative
adjustment, that the existing formula for the calculation of the
funded growth average daily attendance for ROC/Ps be inoperative for
that fiscal year, and that the growth average daily attendance be
calculated as a percentage reduction and allocated to each ROC/P as
an equivalent percentage reduction to the cap on the average daily
attendance of that ROC/P.
   The bill would also require, for the 2009-10 fiscal year, that the
Superintendent of Public Instruction recalculate the prior year
average daily attendance for each regional occupational center or
program pursuant to a prescribed statute to apply a percentage
reduction equal to the 0.55% applied in the Budget Act of 2008.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 52335.4 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   52335.4.  The Superintendent  of Public Instruction
 shall determine each ROC/P's share of funded growth average
daily attendance by computing the sum of subdivisions (a), (b), and
(c):
   (a) Subtract the ROC/P's annual units of funded average daily
attendance for the prior year from the ROC/P's annual units of funded
average daily attendance for the second prior year. If the amount
computed pursuant to this subdivision is negative, it shall be deemed
to be zero.
   (b) Allocate 25 percent of the allowable growth average daily
attendance funded in the Budget Act to low participation ROC/P's,
pursuant to criteria established by the Superintendent  of
Public Instruction  .
   (c) (1) Subtract the statewide sum of the growth average daily
attendance computed pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) from the
allowable growth in average daily attendance funded in the Budget
Act. If the amount computed is negative, it shall be deemed to be
zero.
   (2) (A) Calculate the ROC/P's pro rata share of the funded growth
average daily attendance calculated pursuant to paragraph (1), based
on the prior year average daily attendance in grades 9 to 12,
inclusive, for the school districts served by the ROC/P in relation
to the total statewide prior year average daily attendance in grades
9 to 12, inclusive. For purposes of the calculation required by this
paragraph, the Superintendent  of Public Instruction
 shall use the average daily attendance reported for the
second principal apportionment of the prior year.
   (B) In calculating the pro rata share of funded growth average
daily attendance, the Superintendent  of Public Instruction
 shall ensure that each ROC/P is provided at least 10 units
of allowed growth average daily attendance pursuant to subdivisions
(b) and (c).
   (d) (1) It is the intent of the Legislature that each ROC/P use
its share of funded growth average daily attendance provided pursuant
to this section to serve pupils in grades 9 to 12, inclusive, unless
the governing board or governing boards of the school district or
districts overseeing the ROC/P determine that the needs of pupils in
grades 9 to 12, inclusive, have been met.
   (2) It is the intent of the Legislature that, if a determination
is made pursuant to paragraph (1) that the needs of pupils in grades
9 to 12, inclusive, have been met, then the governing board or
governing boards of the school district or districts overseeing the
ROC/P may authorize the ROC/P to use its share of funded growth
average daily attendance provided pursuant to this section to serve
adults. 
   (e) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a) to (d), inclusive, if the
growth average daily attendance funded in the annual Budget Act for
any fiscal year is a negative adjustment, subdivisions (a) to (d),
inclusive, shall not be operative for that fiscal year. That negative
adjustment in the annual Budget Act shall be calculated as a
percentage reduction, and allocated to each ROC/P as an equivalent
percentage reduction to the cap on the average daily attendance of
that ROC/P. 
  SEC. 2.  Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the
2009-10 fiscal year, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall
recalculate the prior year average daily attendance for each regional
occupational center or program pursuant to paragraph (1) of
subdivision (a) of Section 52335.2 of the Education Code to apply a
percentage reduction equal to the 0.55 percent applied in the Budget
Act of 2008.
