. (a) The Superintendent, in computing apportionments and
allowances from the State School Fund for the second principal
apportionment, shall determine the following for the regular day
classes of the elementary schools maintained by each school district:
(1) (A) For grades 1 to 3, inclusive, the Superintendent shall
determine the number of classes, the number of pupils enrolled in
each class, the total enrollment in all such classes, the average
number of pupils enrolled per class, and the total of the numbers of
pupils which are in excess of thirty (30) in each class.
(B) For those school districts that do not have any classes with
an enrollment in excess of 32 and whose average size for all the
classes is 30.0 or less, there shall be no excess declared. For those
school districts that have one or more classes in excess of an
enrollment of 32 or whose average size for all the classes is more
than 30, the excess shall be the total of the number of pupils which
are in excess of 30 in each class having an enrollment of more than
30.
(2) For grades 4 to 8, inclusive, the Superintendent shall
determine the total number of pupils enrolled, the number of
full-time equivalent classroom teachers, and the average number of
pupils per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher. The
Superintendent shall also determine the excess if any, of pupils
enrolled in such grades in the following manner:
(A) Determine the number of pupils by which the average number of
pupils per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher for the
current fiscal year exceeds the greater of the average number of
pupils per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher in all the
appropriate districts of the state, as determined by the
Superintendent for October 30, 1964, or the average number of pupils
per each full-time equivalent classroom teacher which existed in the
school district on either October 30, 1964, or March 30, 1964, as
selected by the governing board of the school district.
(B) Multiply the number determined in subparagraph (A) by the
number of full-time equivalent classroom teachers of the current
fiscal year.
(C) Reduce the number determined in subparagraph (B) by the
remainder that results from dividing such number by the average
number of pupils per each full-time equivalent teacher for October
30, 1964, as determined by the Superintendent in subparagraph (A).
(3) The Superintendent shall compute the product obtained by
multiplying the excess number of pupils, if any, in paragraph (1) by
ninety-seven hundredths.
(4) If the school district reports that it has maintained, during
the current fiscal year, any classes in which there were enrolled
pupils in excess of 30 per class pursuant to paragraph (1), and there
is no excess number of pupils computed pursuant to paragraph (2),
the Superintendent shall decrease the average daily attendance
reported under the provisions of Section 41601 by the product
determined pursuant to paragraph (3).
(5) If the school district reports that it has maintained, during
the current fiscal year, no classes in which there were enrolled
pupils in excess of 30 per class determined pursuant to paragraph
(1), and there is an excess number of pupils computed pursuant to
paragraph (2), the Superintendent shall compute the product obtained
by multiplying the excess number of pupils computed pursuant to
paragraph (2) by ninety-seven hundredths. The Superintendent shall
decrease the average daily attendance reported under the provisions
of Section 41601 by the resulting product.
(6) If the school district reports that it has maintained, during
the current fiscal year, any classes in which there were enrolled
pupils in excess of 30 per class determined pursuant to paragraph
(1), and there is an excess number of pupils computed pursuant to
paragraph (2), the Superintendent shall add to the product determined
pursuant to paragraph (3), the product determined pursuant to
paragraph (5), and shall decrease the average daily attendance
reported under the provisions of Section 41601 by this total amount.
(b) The governing board of each school district maintaining
elementary schools shall report for the fiscal year 1964-65 and each
year thereafter the information required for the determination to be
made by the Superintendent pursuant to this section in accordance
with instructions provided on forms furnished and prescribed by the
Superintendent. Such information shall be reported by the school
district together with, and at the same time as, the reports required
to be filed for the second principal apportionment of the State
School Fund. The forms on which the data and information is reported
shall include a certification by the superintendent of each school
district or its chief administrative officer that the data is correct
and accurate for the period covered, according to his or her best
information and belief.
(c) For purposes of this section, a "full-time equivalent
classroom teacher" means an employee of an elementary, high school,
or unified school district, employed in a position requiring
certification qualifications and whose duties require him to teach
pupils in the elementary schools of that district in regular day
classes for the full time for which he is employed during the regular
schoolday. In reporting the total number of full-time equivalent
classroom teachers, there shall be included, in addition to those
employees defined above, the full-time equivalent of all fractional
time for which employees in positions requiring certification
qualifications are required to devote to teaching pupils in the
elementary schools of the district in regular day classes during the
regular schoolday.
(d) For purposes of this section, the number of pupils enrolled in
each class means the average of the active enrollment in that class
on the last teaching day of each school month that ends before April
15 of each school year.
(e) This section shall not be applicable to school districts with
less than 101 units of average daily attendance for the current
fiscal year.
(f) The Superintendent shall adopt rules and regulations that he
or she may deem necessary for the effective administration of this
section. Those rules and regulations may specify that no decrease in
average daily attendance reported under the provisions of Section
41601 shall be made for a school district on account of large classes
due to instructional television or team teaching, which may
necessarily involve class sizes at periods during the day larger than
the standard set forth in this section.
