Chapter 3.2. Categorical Education Block Grant Funding of California Education Code >> Division 3. >> Title 2. >> Part 24. >> Chapter 3.2.

(a) There is hereby established the targeted instructional improvement block grant. Commencing with the 2005-06 fiscal year, the Superintendent shall apportion block grant funds to a school district in the same relative statewide proportion that the school district received in the 2003-04 fiscal year for the programs listed in Section 41541.
  (b) If a school district is not in violation of a court order regarding desegregation, the school district may expend funds received pursuant to this article for any purpose authorized by the programs listed in Section 41541 as the statutes governing those programs read on January 1, 2004.
  (c) For purposes of this article, "school district" includes a county office of education if county offices of education are eligible to receive funds for the programs that are listed in Section 41541. The block grant of a county office of education shall be based only on those programs for which it was eligible to receive funds in the 2003-04 fiscal year.
  (d) A school that received funding in the 2000-01 fiscal year, or any fiscal year thereafter, from a desegregation program or a targeted instructional improvement grant program pursuant to Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 54200) of Part 29, that was allocated by a school district as part of a court-ordered desegregation program before the school converted to a charter school, shall continue to receive its proportionate share of funding from the school district through the block grant established pursuant to this section if all of the following conditions are met:
  (1) The charter school continues to serve the same general population.
  (2) The charter school implements the intended goals of the court order.
  (3) The court order remains in effect.
  (e) On and after July 1, 2006, subdivision (d) shall not apply to charter schools that receive funds through the Charter School Categorical Block Grant established pursuant to Section 47634.1.
The targeted instructional improvement block grant shall include funding apportioned to school districts prior to January 1, 2005, for purposes of the following programs:
  (a) Targeted instructional improvement as set forth in Chapter 2.5 (commencing with Section 54200) of Part 29.
  (b) Supplemental grants as set forth in Article 9 (commencing with Section 54760) of Chapter 9 of Part 29.
Commencing with the 2006-07 fiscal year, the amount of funding a school district receives pursuant to this article shall be adjusted for inflation by the amount calculated pursuant to Section 42238.1 and for growth as measured by the regular average daily attendance used to calculate the second principal apportionment for kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, unless otherwise provided in the annual Budget Act.
In expending funds received pursuant to this article, a school district shall give first priority to funding the costs of a court-ordered desegregation program if the order exists and is still in force.
(a) For a basic aid school district that was entitled to reimbursement pursuant to former Section 42247.4, as that section read on January 1, 2001, and that received an apportionment pursuant to subdivision (h) of former Section 42247.4, as that section read on January 1, 2001, because a court order directs pupils to transfer to that school district as part of the court-ordered voluntary pupil transfer program, the Superintendent, from the 2001-02 fiscal year to the 2012-13 fiscal year, inclusive, shall calculate an apportionment of state funds for that basic aid school district that provides 70 percent of the school district revenue limit calculated pursuant to former Section 42238, as that section read on January 1, 2013, that would have been apportioned to the school district from which the pupils were transferred for the average daily attendance of any pupils credited under that court order who did not attend the basic aid school district before the 1995-96 fiscal year.
  (b) (1) For a basic aid school district that was entitled to reimbursement pursuant to former Section 42247.4, as that section read on January 1, 2001, and that received an apportionment pursuant to subdivision (h) of former Section 42247.4, as that section read on January 1, 2001, because a court order directs pupils to transfer to that school district as part of the court-ordered voluntary pupil transfer program, the Superintendent, commencing with the 2013-14 fiscal year, shall calculate an apportionment of state funds for that basic aid school district that provides 70 percent of the school district local control funding formula base grant calculated pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 42238.02, as implemented by Section 42238.03, that would have been apportioned to the school district from which the pupils were transferred for the average daily attendance of any pupils credited under that court order who did not attend the basic aid school district before the 1995-96 fiscal year.
  (2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), until the Superintendent determines that the school district from which the pupil or pupils were transferred is funded pursuant to Section 42238.02 in the prior fiscal year, the Superintendent shall apportion, for average daily attendance credited pursuant to paragraph (1), the lesser of the amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) or 70 percent of the sum of the entitlements for the school district from which the pupil or pupils were transferred for the specified fiscal year as computed pursuant to paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (a), and paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), of Section 42238.03, divided by the average daily attendance of that school district for that fiscal year and then multiplied by the ratio of local control funding formula base grant funding computed pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 42238.02 to the local control funding formula amount for that fiscal year computed pursuant to Section 42238.02.
  (3) If the entitlements for the school district from which the pupil or pupils were transferred computed pursuant to paragraphs (1) to (4), inclusive, of subdivision (a), and paragraph (3) of subdivision (b), of Section 42238.03, include funding calculated pursuant to Article 4 (commencing with Section 42280) of Chapter 7 for a fiscal year, paragraph (2) shall not apply and the apportionment of state funds for the average daily attendance credited pursuant to this section for that fiscal year shall be calculated pursuant to paragraph (1).
  (c) For purposes of subdivision (b), "basic aid school district" means a school district that does not receive from the state, for any fiscal year in which this section is applied, an apportionment of state funds pursuant to subdivision (o) of Section 42238.02.
