CALIFORNIA LEGISLATURE— 2023–2024 REGULAR SESSION

Senate Bill

No. 648

Introduced by Senator Dahle

February 16, 2023

An act to add Section 46300.3 to the Education Code, relating to education finance.

LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST

SB 648, as introduced, Dahle. Education finance: average daily attendance: Mountain Valley Special Education Joint Powers Authority.

Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be 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. In computing average daily attendance of a school district or county office of education, existing law requires the attendance of pupils while engaged in educational activities required of those pupils and under the immediate supervision and control of an employee of the district or county office who possesses a valid certification document, to be included in computing the average daily attendance of a school district or county office of education.

This bill would require an employee of the Mountain Valley Special Education Joint Powers Authority who possessed a valid certification document, registered as required by law, to be deemed “an employee of a school district or county office who possessed a valid certification document, registered as required by law,” for purposes of computing the average daily attendance under the latter provision.

This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the County of Shasta.

Vote: MAJORITY Appropriation: NO Fiscal Committee: YES Local Program: NO

The people of the State of California do enact as follows:

SECTION 1.

Section 46300.3 is added to the Education Code, to read:

46300.3.

An employee of the Mountain Valley Special Education Joint Powers Authority who possessed a valid certification document, registered as required by law, shall be deemed an employee of a school district or county office who possessed a valid certification document, registered as required by law, for purposes of Section 46300.

SEC. 2.

The Legislature finds and declares that a special statute is necessary and that a general statute cannot be made applicable within the meaning of Section 16 of Article IV of the California Constitution because of the unique educational needs of the County of Shasta.
