41325
. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that when a school
district becomes insolvent and requires an emergency apportionment
from the state in the amount designated in this article, it is
necessary that the Superintendent assume control of the district in
order to ensure the district's return to fiscal solvency.
(b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the Superintendent,
operating through an appointed administrator, do all of the
following:
(1) Implement substantial changes in the school district's fiscal
policies and practices, including, if necessary, the filing of a
petition under Chapter 9 of the federal Bankruptcy Code for the
adjustment of indebtedness.
(2) Revise the school district's educational program to reflect
realistic income projections, in response to the dramatic effect of
the changes in fiscal policies and practices upon educational program
quality and the potential for the success of all pupils.
(3) Encourage all members of the school community to accept a fair
share of the burden of the school district's fiscal recovery.
(4) Consult, for the purposes described in this subdivision, with
the school district governing board, the exclusive representatives of
the employees of the school district, parents, and the community.
(5) Consult with and seek recommendations from the county
superintendent of schools for the purposes described in this
subdivision.
(c) For purposes of this article, the Superintendent may also
appoint a trustee with the powers and responsibilities of an
administrator, as set forth in this article.
