(a) Notwithstanding any other provisions of this chapter, if a school district and school participate in the school-based program coordination, any schoolsite advisory committee may elect to designate the schoolsite council to function as that advisory committee for all purposes required by statute or regulations for a period of up to two years.
  (b) If the governing board of a school district adopts a policy that establishes a schoolwide decisionmaking body at each school to promote continuous improvement through a single planning process that coordinates federal and state programs and services, then that body may be designated as a single decisionmaking or coordinating body, if the composition of the body meets the requirements of Section 52852.
