For purposes of computing eligibility for, and entitlements
to, general purpose funding and operational funding for categorical
programs, the enrollment and average daily attendance of a sponsoring
local educational agency shall exclude the enrollment and attendance
of pupils in its charter schools funded pursuant to this chapter.
(a) (1) For a pupil of a charter school sponsored by a basic
aid school district who resides in, and is otherwise eligible to
attend, a school district other than a basic aid school district, the
Superintendent shall apportion to the sponsoring school district an
amount equal to 70 percent of the local control funding formula base
grant computed pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 42238.02, per
unit of average daily attendance that would have been apportioned to
the school district that the pupil resides in, and would otherwise
have been eligible to attend.
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1), until the Superintendent
determines that the school district the pupil resides in, and would
otherwise have been eligible to attend, is funded pursuant to Section
42238.02 in the prior fiscal year, the Superintendent shall
apportion, for average daily attendance pursuant to this article, the
lesser of the amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) or 70
percent of the sum of the entitlements for the school district that
the pupil resides in, and would otherwise have been eligible to
attend, 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 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 the fiscal year computed pursuant to
Section 42238.02.
(3) If the entitlements for the school district the pupil resides
in, and would otherwise have been eligible to attend, as 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 of Part 24 of Division 3 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).
(b) A school district that loses basic aid status as a result of
transferring property taxes to a charter school or schools pursuant
to Section 47635 for pupils who reside in, and are otherwise eligible
to attend, a school district other than the school district that
sponsors the charter school, shall be eligible to receive a pro rata
share of funding provided by subdivision (a), with the proration
factor calculated as the ratio of the following:
(1) The amount of property taxes that the school district receives
in excess of its total base grant per unit of average daily
attendance calculated pursuant to Section 42238.02, as implemented by
Section 42238.03, before any transfers made pursuant to Section
47635, except for transfers in lieu of property taxes made for pupils
who reside in, and would otherwise be eligible to attend, a school
of the school district.
(2) The total amount in lieu of property taxes transferred
pursuant to Section 47635 to the charter school or schools that it
sponsors, except for transfers in lieu of property taxes made for
pupils who reside in, and would otherwise be eligible to attend, a
school of the school district.
(c) In no event shall the amount provided pursuant to this section
exceed the amount in lieu of property taxes transferred on behalf of
charter school pupils who do not reside in the school district, less
the proportionate amount of base grant state aid provided pursuant
to Section 42238.02, as implemented by Section 42238.03, that is
attributable to the charter school pupils who do not reside in the
school district.
(d) The Superintendent shall not apportion funds for the
attendance of a pupil in a charter school of a nonbasic aid school
district who resides in, and is otherwise eligible to attend school
in, a basic aid school district unless the pupil is subject to the
exceptions set forth in paragraph (5) of subdivision (b), and
subdivision (c), of Section 47635.
(e) For purposes of this section, "basic aid school district"
means a school district that does not receive from the state, for any
fiscal year in which the subdivision is applied, an apportionment of
state funds as described in subdivision (o) of Section 42238.02.
