INTRODUCED BY   Senator Anderson

                        FEBRUARY 8, 2016

   An act to amend Section 42238.07 of the Education Code, relating
to education finance.


	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 963, as introduced, Anderson. Education finance: local control
funding formula: supplemental and concentration grants.
   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 funding
pursuant to the local control funding formula to include, in addition
to a base grant, supplemental and concentration grant add-ons that
are based on the percentage of pupils who are English learners,
foster youth, or eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as
specified, served by the county superintendent of schools, school
district, or charter school. Existing law requires the State Board of
Education to adopt regulations that govern the expenditure of funds
apportioned pursuant to the supplemental and concentration grant
add-ons.
   This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to the provision
requiring the state board to adopt regulations that govern the
expenditure of funds apportioned pursuant to the supplemental and
concentration grant add-ons.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: no.
State-mandated local program: no.


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

  SECTION 1.  Section 42238.07 of the Education Code is amended to
read:
   42238.07.  (a) On or before January 31, 2014, the state board
shall adopt regulations that govern the expenditure of funds
apportioned on the basis of the number and concentration of
unduplicated pupils pursuant to Sections 2574, 2575, 42238.02, and
42238.03. The  adopted  regulations shall include, but are
not limited to, provisions that do all of the following:
   (1) Require a school district, county office of education, or
charter school to increase or improve services for unduplicated
pupils in proportion to the increase in funds apportioned on the
basis of the number and concentration of unduplicated pupils in the
school district, county office of education, or charter school.
   (2) Authorize a school district, county office of education, or
charter school to use funds apportioned on the basis of the number of
unduplicated pupils for schoolwide purposes,  or, 
for school districts, districtwide purposes, for county offices of
education, countywide purposes, or for charter schools, charterwide
purposes, in a manner that is no more restrictive than the
restrictions  provided for   set forth  in
Title I of the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (20 U.S.C.
Sec.  6301,   6301  et seq.).
   (b) The state board may adopt emergency regulations for purposes
of this section.
