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.
