Article 14. Allowances For Project Connected Pupils of California Education Code >> Division 3. >> Title 2. >> Part 24. >> Chapter 5. >> Article 14.

As used in this article the term "project" means any major, localized, undertaking by or under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Water Resources, or by or under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Water Resources and the federal government, jointly, which has a duration, estimated by the Director of the Department of Water Resources, of more than three years.

A project-connected pupil, as used in this article, means a child of a parent, guardian, or other person standing in loco parentis who has enrolled in the regular full-time day schools of the district subsequent to the commencement of a project, whose parent or guardian is employed by a contractor or subcontractor in connection with the project, or by the State of California whose work is in connection with the project, and which child is in addition to the number of children who would otherwise normally be expected to be in the district. The identification of project-connected pupils shall be subject to the approval of the Superintendent of Public Instruction in accordance with regulations that he is herewith authorized to adopt. The records identifying and accounting for the attendance of project-connected children shall be prescribed by the Superintendent of Public Instruction.

For the 1964-1965 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall allow to each eligible district, for each unit of average daily attendance in the regular full-time day schools of the district during the preceding fiscal year of project-connected pupils, as project-connected pupils are defined in Section 41931, an amount equal to the foundation program of the district, any supplemental amount computed under the Education Code, less basic state aid, and state equalization aid for the preceding fiscal year, divided by the second period average daily attendance of the district for the preceding fiscal year.

The units of average daily attendance of project-connected pupils, as defined in Section 41931 for a fiscal year shall be computed by dividing the total number of days of attendance of such pupils by the number of days school was actually taught in the regular day schools of the district during the fiscal year.

A district shall be eligible for an allowance under Section 41932 if the average daily attendance of project-connected pupils is at least 10 in the district during the preceding fiscal year.

For the purposes of this article, pupils in grades 7 and 8 attending a junior high school maintained by a high school district shall be deemed to be in attendance in the schools of the elementary district of residence.

Amounts allowed pursuant to this article shall be apportioned by the Superintendent of Public Instruction at the same time and as a part of the special purpose apportionment made under the provisions of Section 41334, whichever is in effect.
