. (a) The Pupil Textbook and Instructional Materials Incentive
Account is hereby created in the State Instructional Materials Fund,
to be used for the Pupil Textbook and Instructional Materials
Incentive Program set forth in Article 7 (commencing with Section
60117) of Chapter 1. All money in the account shall be allocated by
the Superintendent of Public Instruction to school districts
maintaining any kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 12, inclusive,
that satisfy each of the following criteria:
(1) A school district shall provide assurance to the
Superintendent of Public Instruction that the district has complied
with Section 60119.
(2) A school district shall ensure that the money will be used to
carry out its compliance with Section 60119 and shall supplement any
state and local money that is expended on textbooks or instructional
materials, or both.
(3) A school district shall ensure that textbooks and
instructional materials are ordered, to the extent practicable,
before the school year begins.
(b) The superintendent shall ensure that each school district has
an opportunity for funding per pupil based upon the district's prior
year base revenue limit in relation to the prior year statewide
average base revenue limit for similar types and sizes of districts.
Districts below the statewide average shall receive a greater
percentage of state funds, and districts above the statewide average
shall receive a smaller percentage of state funds, in an amount equal
to the percentage that the district's base revenue limit varies from
the statewide average. Any district with a base revenue limit that
equals or exceeds 200 percent of the statewide average shall not be
eligible for state funding under this section.
