42127.9
. (a) No later than five days after a school district
receives notice of any change or changes adopted by the county
superintendent of schools in the district's budget pursuant to
subdivision (b) of Section 42127.3, subdivision (e) of Section
42127.6, or subdivision (b) of Section 42131, the governing board of
the district may submit an appeal to the Superintendent of Public
Instruction, based upon the contention that the change or changes
would do one or more of the following:
(1) Exceed the financial or program changes necessary to allow the
district to meet its financial obligations in the current fiscal
year and with regard to its multiyear financial commitments. It is
the intent of the Legislature that any change or changes adopted by
the county superintendent of schools in a school district's budget
minimize, to the extent possible, any impact upon the educational
program of the district.
(2) Require reductions that are unnecessary in view of other
reductions that are proposed by the governing board of the district
and that reasonably can be expected to be realized.
(3) Make one or more changes in the district's operations that are
inconsistent with any provision of state or federal law.
(b) No later than five days after receiving that appeal, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction shall deny or uphold the appeal.
If the appeal is denied, the district shall implement the change or
changes adopted by the county superintendent of schools. If the
appeal is upheld, the Superintendent of Public Instruction may revise
the change or changes adopted by the county superintendent of
schools or issue guidelines governing the manner in which the
governing board of the district or the county superintendent of
schools shall be required to change the district budget.
