LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST
AB 851, as amended, Brownley. Education finance.
(1) Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to
determine a revenue limit for each school district in the county
pursuant to a specified formula based on the base revenue limit of
the school district for the prior year, adjusted for inflation, and
the average daily attendance for the entire school district.
This bill would require the base revenue limit for each school
district for the 2010-11 2011-12 fiscal
year to include an adjustment , computed
, as specified.
The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to
calculate an add-on for each school district, as specified. The bill
would require the Superintendent to calculate and apportion for each
basic aid district, as defined, an amount equal to the amount
computed pursuant to the provision referenced in (4) below.
(2) Existing law specifies that the revenue limit for the
Newport-Mesa Unified School District will not include certain amounts
that were not received by the district due to bankruptcy proceedings
initiated by the County of Orange.
This bill would provide that these provisions would remain in
effect only until July 1, 2010.
(3) Existing law creates the Santa Cruz High School attendance
area, a program for middle school options to eliminate revenue limit
inequities.
This bill would provide that these provisions would remain in
effect only until July 1, 2010.
(4) Under existing law, in the computation of its revenue limit

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 prior to the enactment of Chapter 330 of the Statutes of

(2) Subtract from the amount determined in paragraph (1) the
greater of subparagraph (A) or (B):

sources of revenue as directed by the Superintendent.

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

in this attendance area to continue providing a middle school
program, in addition to the junior high school program operated by

all pupils in grades 7 and 8.
(b) In order for these elementary school districts to receive an
addition to the revenue limit pursuant to subdivision (g), these
districts shall do all of the following:
(1) Continue to participate in a consortium with the Santa Cruz
High School District.
(2) At a minimum, all pupils in grades 7 and 8 in the

computed and allocated pursuant to subdivision (g) will be used only
for pupils in grades 7 and 8.
(c) Participation by the districts in the consortium shall be
voluntary.

teach a common core curriculum to the same group of pupils in grades
6, 7, and 8, and provide a transition from self-contained classroom
education at the elementary level to subject-oriented,

(e) A school district shall not deny a request for enrollment made
pursuant to this section unless space is not available in the

enrollment option pursuant to this section and attending the
elementary school districts shall be credited to the elementary
school district of residence for purposes of determining state
apportionments and revenue limits. The average daily attendance of
pupils attending the high school district shall be credited to the
Santa Cruz High School District.
(g) For the 1990-91 fiscal year for the Live Oak Elementary School
District and each fiscal year thereafter, and for the 1991-92 fiscal
year for the Soquel Union Elementary School District and each fiscal
year thereafter, the Superintendent shall compute and allocate an
amount in addition to the revenue limit for each elementary school
district participating in the consortium, equal to the following:
(1) Calculate the average of the base revenue limits per unit of
average daily attendance of the districts participating in the
consortium.
(2) From the average base revenue limit calculated in paragraph
(1), subtract the base revenue limit of the elementary school
district per unit of average daily attendance.

multiply the result in paragraph (2) by the average daily attendance
of the elementary school district in grades 7 and 8. That amount
shall be added to the total revenue limit computed for that district.
If the result in paragraph (2) is zero, or less than zero, then no
adjustment shall be computed for the district.
