Planning grants provided pursuant to this chapter shall be for an amount up to thirty dollars ($30) per pupil, with a minimum planning grant of ten thousand dollars ($10,000). If the total amount requested by all planning applicants exceeds the funding appropriated for those purposes, the State Board of Education shall not provide for a pro rata reduction in the funding of the proposals, but shall approve applications to the amount of funds appropriated, in accordance with Sections 58906 and 58916.

It is the intent of the Legislature that each demonstration grant consist of a five-year grant awarded to each school district or consortium of districts selected to participate. The total amount of the demonstration grant shall be based on the number of pupils enrolled in schools participating in the demonstration of restructuring in education each year, multiplied by up to two hundred dollars ($200) per pupil per year, depending upon the nature and scope of the proposed demonstration.

It is the intent of the Legislature that each school district with an approved proposal to provide preschool and schoolage parenting and child development services pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 58905 and Section 58906.5, be provided funding for that purpose from amounts that have been separately appropriated for the specific purposes of subdivision (e) of Section 58905 and Section 58906.5.

The State Board of Education may vary the amount of the demonstration grant, depending on the nature and magnitude of the restructuring proposal submitted.

The demonstration grants shall support all components of education restructuring pursuant to this act, exclusive of the provision of preschool and schoolage parenting and child development services.

Any participating school may use the school-based coordination program and funding provisions in this code to further the goals and objectives of an approved restructuring demonstration proposal.

When a child in a preschool and infant development demonstration program will be transferring to a local public school, the program may choose, with the permission of the parent or guardian, to transfer information from the previous year deemed beneficial to the pupil and the teacher, including, but not limited to, development issues, social interaction abilities, health background, and diagnostic assessments, if any, to the public school.
