. (a) Notwithstanding any other law, the Pacific Unified
School District, the Leggett Valley Unified School District, and the
Reeds Creek Elementary School District may operate one or more
schools in their respective school districts on a four-day school
week, if the school district complies with the instructional time
requirements specified in Section 37701 and the other requirements of
this chapter.
(b) If a school district operates one or more schools on a
four-day week pursuant to this section and the program for the school
year provides less than the 180 days of instruction required under
Section 46200, as it read on January 1, 2013, the Superintendent
shall reduce the local control funding formula grant apportionment
pursuant to Section 42238.02, as implemented pursuant to Section
42238.03, for the average daily attendance of each affected grade
level, by 0.0056 multiplied by that apportionment for each day less
than what was required by subdivision (a) of this section, as this

school district operates one or more schools on a four-day school
week pursuant to this section and the program provides less than the

control funding formula grant apportionment pursuant to Section
42238.02, as implemented pursuant to Section 42238.03, for the

of that apportionment multiplied by the percentage of the minimum
required minutes at that grade level that the school district failed
to offer.
(c) A school district with an exclusive bargaining representative
may operate a school on a four-day school week pursuant to this
section only if the school district and the representative of each
bargaining unit of school district employees mutually agree to that
operation in a memorandum of understanding.
(d) Notwithstanding subdivisions (a), (b), and (c), upon a
determination that a school district identified in subdivision (a)
equals or exceeds its local control funding formula target computed
pursuant to Section 42238.02 as determined by the calculation of a
zero difference pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of
Section 42238.03, the school district, as a condition of

to Section 42238.03, shall offer 180 days or more of instruction per
school year, and meet the minimum minute requirements pursuant to
