AB 2272

Bill Subjects

Abstract

Existing law provides that school districts that implement a class size reduction program are subject to specified requirements relating to grade levels to receive funding to implement the program. The governing board of a school district is required to certify to the Superintendent of Public Instruction that it has met the requirements. If a school district receives class reduction funding but does not implement its class size reduction program for all grades and classes for which it received funding, the Superintendent is required to notify the Controller and the school district in writing and the Controller is required to deduct an amount equal to the amount received by the school district for each class that the school district failed to reduce, as specified, subject to Constitutional limitation. This bill would make various specified changes in the formulas for determining the amount of funding deducted by the school district for failure to comply with the class reduction program. The bill would also make conforming changes.
