For the 2013-14 fiscal year and for each fiscal year
thereafter, the Superintendent annually shall calculate a county
local control funding formula for each county superintendent of
schools as follows:
(a) Compute a county office of education operations grant equal to
the sum of each of the following amounts:
(1) Six hundred fifty-five thousand nine hundred twenty dollars
($655,920).
(2) One hundred nine thousand three hundred twenty dollars
($109,320) multiplied by the number of school districts for which the
county superintendent of schools has jurisdiction pursuant to
Section 1253.
(3) (A) Seventy dollars ($70) multiplied by the number of units of
countywide average daily attendance, up to a maximum of 30,000
units.
(B) Sixty dollars ($60) multiplied by the number of units of
countywide average daily attendance for the portion of countywide
average daily attendance, if any, above 30,000 units, up to a maximum
of 60,000 units.
(C) Fifty dollars ($50) multiplied by the number of units of
countywide average daily attendance for the portion of countywide
average daily attendance, if any, above 60,000, up to a maximum of
140,000 units.
(D) Forty dollars ($40) multiplied by the number of units of
countywide average daily attendance for the portion of countywide
average daily attendance, if any, above 140,000 units.
(E) For purposes of this section, countywide average daily
attendance means the aggregate number of annual units of average
daily attendance within the county attributable to all school
districts for which the county superintendent of schools has
jurisdiction pursuant to Section 1253, charter schools authorized by
school districts for which the county superintendent of schools has
jurisdiction, and charter schools authorized by the county
superintendent of schools.
(4) For the 2014-15 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
adjust each of the rates provided in the prior year pursuant to
paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) by the percentage change in the annual
average value of the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local
Government Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States, as
published by the United States Department of Commerce for the
12-month period ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.
This percentage change shall be determined using the latest data
available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year compared with the
annual average value of the same deflator for the 12-month period
ending in the third quarter of the second preceding fiscal year,
using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal
year, as reported by the Department of Finance.
(b) Determine the enrollment percentage of unduplicated pupils
pursuant to the following:
(1) (A) For the 2013-14 fiscal year, divide the enrollment of
unduplicated pupils in all schools operated by a county
superintendent of schools in the 2013-14 fiscal year by the total
enrollment in those schools in the 2013-14 fiscal year.
(B) For the 2014-15 fiscal year, divide the sum of the enrollment
of unduplicated pupils in all schools operated by a county
superintendent of schools in the 2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years by
the sum of the total enrollment in those schools in the 2013-14 and
2014-15 fiscal years.
(C) For the 2015-16 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter,
divide the sum of the enrollment of unduplicated pupils in all
schools operated by a county superintendent of schools in the current
fiscal year and the two prior fiscal years by the sum of the total
enrollment in those schools in the current fiscal year and the two
prior fiscal years.
(D) (i) For purposes of the quotients determined pursuant to
subparagraphs (B) and (C), the Superintendent shall use a county
superintendent of schools' enrollment of unduplicated pupils and
total pupil enrollment in the 2014-15 fiscal year instead of the
enrollment of unduplicated pupils and total pupil enrollment in the
2013-14 fiscal year if doing so would yield an overall greater
percentage of unduplicated pupils.
(ii) It is the intent of the Legislature to review each county
office of education's enrollment of unduplicated pupils for the
2013-14 and 2014-15 fiscal years and provide one-time funding, if
necessary, for a county office of education with higher enrollment of
unduplicated pupils in the 2014-15 fiscal year as compared to the
2013-14 fiscal year.
(E) For purposes of determining the enrollment percentage of
unduplicated pupils pursuant to this subdivision, enrollment in
schools or classes established pursuant to Article 2.5 (commencing
with Section 48645) of Chapter 4 of Part 27 of Division 4 of Title 2
and the enrollment of pupils other than the pupils identified in
clauses (i) to (iii), inclusive, of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (4)
of subdivision (c), shall be excluded from the calculation of the
enrollment percentage of unduplicated pupils.
(F) The data used to determine the percentage of unduplicated
pupils shall be final once that data is no longer used in the current
fiscal year calculation of the percentage of unduplicated pupils.
This subparagraph does not apply to a change that is the result of an
audit that has been appealed pursuant to Section 41344.
(2) For purposes of this section, an "unduplicated pupil" is a
pupil who is classified as an English learner, eligible for a free or
reduced-price meal, or a foster youth. For purposes of this section,
the definitions in Section 42238.01 of an English learner, a pupil
eligible for a free or reduced-price meal, and foster youth shall
apply. A pupil shall be counted only once for purposes of this
section if any of the following apply:
(A) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is eligible
for a free or reduced-price meal.
(B) The pupil is classified as an English learner and is a foster
youth.
(C) The pupil is eligible for a free or reduced-price meal and is
classified as a foster youth.

a free or reduced-price meal, and is a foster youth.
(3) (A) Under procedures and timeframes established by the
Superintendent, commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year, a county
superintendent of schools annually shall report the enrollment of
unduplicated pupils, pupils classified as English learners, pupils
eligible for free and reduced-price meals, and foster youth in
schools operated by the county superintendent of schools to the
Superintendent using the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement
Data System.
(B) The Superintendent shall make the calculations pursuant to
this section using the data submitted through the California
Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data System.
(C) The Controller shall include instructions, as appropriate, in
the audit guide required by subdivision (a) of Section 14502.1, for
determining if the data reported by a county superintendent of
schools using the California Longitudinal Pupil Achievement Data
System is consistent with pupil data records maintained by the county
office of education.
(c) Compute an alternative education grant equal to the sum of the
following:
(1) (A) For the 2013-14 fiscal year, a base grant equal to the
2012-13 per pupil undeficited statewide average juvenile court school
base revenue limit calculated pursuant to Article 3 (commencing with
Section 2550) of Chapter 12, as that article read on January 1,
2013. For purposes of this subparagraph, the 2012-13 statewide
average juvenile court school base revenue limit shall be considered
final as of the annual apportionment for the 2012-13 fiscal year, as
calculated for purposes of the certification required on or before
February 20, 2014, pursuant to Sections 41332 and 41339.
(B) Commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year, the per pupil base
grant shall be adjusted by the percentage change in the annual
average value of the Implicit Price Deflator for State and Local
Government Purchases of Goods and Services for the United States, as
published by the United States Department of Commerce for the
12-month period ending in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year.
This percentage change shall be determined using the latest data
available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal year compared with the
annual average value of the same deflator for the 12-month period
ending in the third quarter of the second preceding fiscal year,
using the latest data available as of May 10 of the preceding fiscal
year, as reported by the Department of Finance.
(2) A supplemental grant equal to 35 percent of the base grant
described in paragraph (1) multiplied by the enrollment percentage
calculated in subdivision (b). The supplemental grant shall be
expended in accordance with the regulations adopted pursuant to
Section 42238.07.
(3) (A) A concentration grant equal to 35 percent of the base
grant described in paragraph (1) multiplied by the greater of either
of the following:
(i) The enrollment percentage calculated in subdivision (b) less
50 percent.
(ii) Zero.
(B) The concentration grant shall be expended in accordance with
the regulations adopted pursuant to Section 42238.07.
(4) (A) Multiply the sum of paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) by the
total number of units of average daily attendance for pupils
attending schools operated by a county office of education, excluding
units of average daily attendance for pupils attending schools or
classes established pursuant to Article 2.5 (commencing with Section
48645) of Chapter 4 of Part 27 of Division 4 of Title 2, who are
enrolled pursuant to any of the following:

of the Welfare and Institutions Code.
(ii) On probation or parole and not in attendance in a school.
(iii) Expelled for any of the reasons specified in subdivision (a)
or (c) of Section 48915.
(B) Multiply the number of units of average daily attendance for

Division 4 of Title 2 by the sum of the base grant calculated
pursuant to paragraph (1), a supplemental grant equal to 35 percent
of the base grant calculated pursuant to paragraph (1), and a
concentration grant equal to 17.5 percent of the base grant
calculated pursuant to paragraph (1). Funds provided for the
supplemental and concentration grants pursuant to this calculation
shall be expended in accordance with the regulations adopted pursuant
to Section 42238.07.
(C) Add the amounts calculated in subparagraphs (A) and (B).
(d) Add the amount calculated in subdivision (a) to the amount
calculated in subparagraph (C) of paragraph (4) of subdivision (c).
(e) Add all of the following to the amount calculated in
subdivision (d):
(1) The amount of funding a county superintendent of schools
received for the 2012-13 fiscal year from funds allocated pursuant to
the Targeted Instructional Improvement Block Grant program, as set
forth in Article 6 (commencing with Section 41540) of Chapter 3.2 of
Part 24 of Division 3 of Title 2, as that article read on January 1,
2013.
(2) (A) (i) The amount of funding a county superintendent of
schools received for the 2012-13 fiscal year from funds allocated
pursuant to the Home-to-School Transportation program, as set forth
in former Article 2 (commencing with Section 39820) of Chapter 1 of
Part 23.5 of Division 3 of Title 2, former Article 10 (commencing

(ii) If a home-to-school transportation joint powers agency,
established pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 6500) of
Chapter 5 of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code for
purposes of providing pupil transportation, received an apportionment
directly from the Superintendent pursuant to Item 6110-111-0001 of
Section 2.00 of the Budget Act of 2012, as identified in clause (i)
of subparagraph (A) of paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of Section
2575, the joint powers agency may identify the member local
educational agencies and transfer entitlement to that funding to any
of those member local educational agencies by reporting to the
Superintendent, on or before September 30, 2015, the reassignment of
a specified amount of the joint powers agency's 2012-13 fiscal year
entitlement to the member local educational agency. Commencing with
the 2015-16 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall add the reassigned
amounts to the amounts calculated pursuant to this paragraph.
(B) On or before March 1, 2014, the Legislative Analyst's Office
shall submit recommendations to the fiscal committees of both houses
of the Legislature regarding revisions to the methods of funding
pupil transportation that address historical funding inequities
across county offices of education and school districts and improve
incentives for local educational agencies to provide efficient and
effective pupil transportation services.
(3) The difference determined by subtracting the amount calculated
pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) for pupils attending a
school that is eligible for funding pursuant to paragraph (2) of
subdivision (b) of Section 42285 from the amount of funding that is
provided to eligible schools pursuant to Section 42284, if the
difference is positive.
(a) Commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year and for each
fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent shall calculate a base

2012-13 fiscal year, as calculated for purposes of the certification
required on or before February 20, 2014, pursuant to Sections 41332
and 41339. All other average daily attendance claimed by the county
superintendent of schools and any other average daily attendance used
for purposes of calculating revenue limits pursuant to Article 3
(commencing with Section 2550) of Chapter 12, as that article read on
January 1, 2013, shall be considered final for purposes of this
section as of the annual apportionment for the 2012-13 fiscal year,
as calculated for purposes of the certification required on or before
February 20, 2014, pursuant to Sections 41332 and 41339.

computed pursuant to subparagraph (B) by the sum of the differences
for all county superintendents of schools computed pursuant to
subparagraph (B).
(D) Multiply the proportion computed pursuant to subparagraph (C)
by the unapportioned balance in the appropriation. That product shall
be the county superintendent of schools' proportion of total need.
(E) Apportion to each county superintendent of schools the amount
calculated pursuant to subparagraph (D), or if subdivision (c) is
negative, apportion the sums of subdivisions (b) and (c) and
subparagraph (D) of this subdivision if the sum is greater than zero.

2013-14 fiscal year, the amount computed pursuant to subdivision (c)
is greater than the amount computed pursuant to subdivision (d), in
the first fiscal year in which the amount computed pursuant to
subdivision (c) would be less than the amount computed pursuant to
subdivision (d), the Superintendent shall apportion to the county
superintendent of schools the amount computed in subdivision (d) in

the Superintendent apportions to a county superintendent of schools
the amount computed pursuant to subdivision (d) pursuant to paragraph
(1), (2), or (3) of this subdivision, an amount of property tax of
the county superintendent of schools equal to the negative amount
shall be deemed restricted and not available for expenditure during
that fiscal year. In the following fiscal year the restricted amount

of Division 7 of Title 1 of the Government Code for purposes of
providing pupil transportation shall not redirect that funding for
another purpose unless otherwise authorized by law or pursuant to an
agreement between the home-to-school transportation joint powers
agency and the contracting county superintendent of schools.
(k) (1) In addition to subdivision (j), of the funds a county
superintendent of schools receives for home-to-school transportation
programs, the county superintendent of schools shall expend, pursuant
