Education finance: local control funding formula: aspirational funding level: reports.

Abstract

(1) Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified. Existing law requires funding pursuant to the local control funding formula to include, in addition to a base grant, supplemental and concentration grant add-ons that are based on the percentage of pupils who are English learners, foster youth, or eligible for free or reduced-price meals, as specified, served by the county superintendent of schools, school district, or charter school. Existing law specifies the amount of the base grant in the 2013–14 fiscal year, as provided, and requires that amount to be adjusted for changes in cost of living in subsequent fiscal years. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to compute the supplemental and concentration grant add-ons as certain percentages of the amount of the base grant. This bill would express the intent of the Legislature to increase the base grants to amounts equal to the national average per-pupil funding level, as provided. The bill would express the intent of the Legislature to apply a cost-of-living adjustment separate from, in addition to, and above the specified cost-of-living adjustment described above for purposes of certain funding provisions. (2) Commencing with the first fiscal year after full implementation of the local control funding formula, existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction, within 3 business days of the first principal, 2nd principal, and annual apportionments for each fiscal year, to publish on the State Department of Education's internet website the amount of a county office of education's, school district's, or charter school's funding derived from its local control funding formula allocation that is attributable to the supplemental and concentration grants. Commencing July 1, 2020, this bill would require the Superintendent to additionally publish on the department's internet website (A) the amount of a county office of education's, school district's, or charter school's funding derived from its local control funding formula allocation that is attributable to base grants and (B) the unduplicated pupil counts and percentages calculated for each school district, charter school, and county office of education. The bill would prohibit the Superintendent from publishing this information for any necessary small school, as defined.
