EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 41200-41209
41200. (a) The Legislature finds and declares that the California Constitution, as amended by "The Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act" as adopted by the voters on November 8, 1988, mandates that a specific minimum level of state General Fund revenues be guaranteed and applied for the support of school districts, community college districts, and state agencies that provide direct elementary and secondary level instructional services. The Legislature further finds and declares that, by defining certain terms used in establishing a method of calculation for determining the guaranteed minimum level of funding, Section 14022.3, 14022.5, and this chapter further the purposes of "The Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act." (b) It is the intent of the Legislature that the annual Budget Bill, required by Section 12 of Article IV of the California Constitution, include a section that specifies the respective percentages and amounts of General Fund revenues that must be set aside and applied for the support of school districts, community college districts, and the direct elementary and secondary level instructional services of state agencies, as required by subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41202. The words and phrases set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the Constitution of the State of California shall have the following meanings: (a) "Moneys to be applied by the State," as used in subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, means appropriations from the General Fund that are made for allocation to school districts, as defined, or community college districts. An appropriation that is withheld, impounded, or made without provisions for its allocation to school districts or community college districts, shall not be considered to be "moneys to be applied by the State." (b) "General Fund revenues which may be appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B," as used in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI, means General Fund revenues that are the proceeds of taxes as defined by subdivision (c) of Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, including, for the 1986-87 fiscal year only, any revenues that are determined to be in excess of the appropriations limit established pursuant to Article XIII B for the fiscal year in which they are received. General Fund revenues for a fiscal year to which paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) is being applied shall include, in that computation, only General Fund revenues for that fiscal year that are the proceeds of taxes, as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, and shall not include prior fiscal year revenues. Commencing with the 1995-96 fiscal year, and each fiscal year thereafter, "General Fund revenues that are the proceeds of taxes," as defined in subdivision (c) of Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, includes any portion of the proceeds of taxes received from the state sales tax that are transferred to the counties pursuant to, and only if, legislation is enacted during the 1995-96 fiscal year the purpose of which is to realign children's programs. The amount of the proceeds of taxes shall be computed for any fiscal year in a manner consistent with the manner in which the amount of the proceeds of taxes was computed by the Department of Finance for purposes of the Governor's Budget for the Budget Act of 1986. (c) "General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts," as used in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, means the sum of appropriations made that are for allocation to school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, regardless of whether those appropriations were made from the General Fund to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to the Controller, or to any other fund or state agency for the purpose of allocation to school districts. The full amount of any appropriation shall be included in the calculation of the percentage required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Article XVI, without regard to any unexpended balance of any appropriation. Any reappropriation of funds appropriated in any prior year shall not be included in the sum of appropriations. (d) "General Fund revenues appropriated for community college districts," as used in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, means the sum of appropriations made that are for allocation to community college districts, regardless of whether those appropriations were made from the General Fund to the Controller, to the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, or to any other fund or state agency for the purpose of allocation to community college districts. The full amount of any appropriation shall be included in the calculation of the percentage required by paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Article XVI, without regard to any unexpended balance of any appropriation. Any reappropriation of funds appropriated in any prior year shall not be included in the sum of appropriations. (e) "Total allocations to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B," as used in paragraph (2) or (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, means the sum of appropriations made that are for allocation to school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, and community college districts, regardless of whether those appropriations were made from the General Fund to the Controller, to the Superintendent of Public Instruction, to the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, or to any other fund or state agency for the purpose of allocation to school districts and community college districts. The full amount of any appropriation shall be included in the calculation of the percentage required by paragraph (2) or (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI, without regard to any unexpended balance of any appropriation. Any reappropriation of funds appropriated in any prior year shall not be included in the sum of appropriations. (f) "General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and community college districts, respectively" and "moneys to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts," as used in Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, shall include funds appropriated for the Child Care and Development Services Act pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 8200) of Part 6 and shall not include any of the following: (1) Any appropriation that is not made for allocation to a school district, as defined in Section 41302.5, or to a community college district regardless of whether the appropriation is made for any purpose that may be considered to be for the benefit to a school district, as defined in Section 41302.5, or a community college district. This paragraph shall not be construed to exclude any funding appropriated for the Child Care and Development Services Act pursuant to Chapter 2 (commencing with Section 8200) of Part 6. (2) Any appropriation made to the Teachers' Retirement Fund or to the Public Employees' Retirement Fund except those appropriations for reimbursable state mandates imposed on or before January 1, 1988. (3) Any appropriation made to service any public debt approved by the voters of this state. (g) "Allocated local proceeds of taxes," as used in paragraph (2) or (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, means, for school districts as defined, those local revenues, except revenues identified pursuant to paragraph (5) of subdivision (h) of Section 42238, that are used to offset state aid for school districts in calculations performed pursuant to Sections 2558, 42238, and Chapter 7.2 (commencing with Section 56836) of Part 30. (h) "Allocated local proceeds of taxes," as used in paragraph (2) or (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, means, for community college districts, those local revenues that are used to offset state aid for community college districts in calculations performed pursuant to Section 84700. In no event shall the revenues or receipts derived from student fees be considered "allocated local proceeds of taxes." (i) For the purposes of calculating the 4 percent entitlement pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, "the total amount required pursuant to Section 8(b)" shall mean the General Fund aid required for schools pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, and shall not include allocated local proceeds of taxes. 41203. Any calculation of the monies to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts, pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, shall be made as a single, aggregate calculation for the school districts serving kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive, for the community college districts, and for the direct elementary and secondary level instructional services provided by the State of California. 41203.1. (a) For the 1990-91 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, allocations calculated pursuant to Section 41203 shall be distributed in accordance with calculations provided in this section. Notwithstanding Section 41203, and for the purposes of this section, school districts, community college districts, and direct elementary and secondary level instructional services provided by the State of California shall be regarded as separate segments of public education, and each of these three segments of public education shall be entitled to receive respective shares of the amount calculated pursuant to Section 41203 as though the calculation made pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution were to be applied separately to each segment and the base year for the purposes of this calculation under paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution were based on the 1989-90 fiscal year. Calculations made pursuant to this subdivision shall be made so that each segment of public education is entitled to the greater of the amounts calculated for that segment pursuant to paragraph (1) or (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (b) If the single calculation made pursuant to Section 41203 yields a guaranteed amount of funding that is less than the sum of the amounts calculated pursuant to subdivision (a), the amount calculated pursuant to Section 41203 shall be prorated for the three segments of public education. (c) Notwithstanding any other law, this section does not apply to the 1992-93 to 2010-11 fiscal years, inclusive. 41203.3. On or after the effective date of the act adding this section to the Education Code, in order for an appropriation that is not made for allocation to and administration by school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5 of the Education Code, or to community college districts to be counted towards the state's minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the appropriation shall, in addition to all other requirements of law, have statutory authorization independent of the annual Budget Act that reflects a legislative determination that the appropriation shall be counted toward satisfying that obligation. 41203.5. (a) In any fiscal year in which the amount of the moneys that are required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts is determined under paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, a supplemental appropriation shall be made from the General Fund for the support of those entities in that sum by which the amount determined under that paragraph is exceeded by the amount computed under subdivision (b) of this section. (b) The amount of General Fund revenues required to assure that the rate of growth in total allocations per unit of average daily attendance to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B of the California Constitution, excluding any revenues allocated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, and allocated local proceeds of taxes is not less than the rate of growth in per capita appropriations for all other programs and services from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B of the California Constitution, excluding any revenues allocated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (c) In no event shall the total amount appropriated in any fiscal year pursuant to this section and paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution exceed the amount which would have been computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41203.6. For purposes of subdivision (c) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, "the amount computed pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b)" shall not be deemed to mean either the amount applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts in a fiscal year for which subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution is suspended pursuant to subdivision (h) of that section, or the amount computed pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (b) of that section. 41203.7. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a supplemental appropriation shall be made from the General Fund for the support of school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, in each fiscal year for the purposes set forth in subdivision (c). The amount of that supplemental appropriation shall be equal to the sum of the amount allocated to school districts pursuant to this section in the prior fiscal year and 25 percent of the amount, if any, allocated to school districts in the prior fiscal year pursuant to Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. That amount shall be adjusted annually for changes in enrollment, and for the change in the cost of living pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution. (b) The funds appropriated for the purposes of subdivision (a) shall be allocated to each school district in an equal amount per unit of enrollment, in accordance with the allocation procedure set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (c) The amount allocated to each school district pursuant to this section shall be used only for the reduction of class size in any grade level or subject area. That class size reduction shall occur in accordance with Chapter 6.8 (commencing with Section 52080) of Part 28 of the Education Code, or in any other manner determined by the school district governing board. Not later than 90 days following each fiscal year in which a school district receives funding pursuant to this section, the governing board of that school district shall certify in writing to the Superintendent of Public Instruction that all expenditures of that funding were in compliance with this subdivision. 41203.8. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a supplemental appropriation shall be made from the General Fund in the annual Budget Act for the support of community college districts in each fiscal year for the purposes specified in the Budget Act. The amount of that supplemental appropriation shall be equal to the sum of the amount allocated to community college districts pursuant to this section in the prior fiscal year and 25 percent of the amount, if any, allocated to community college districts in the prior fiscal year pursuant to Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. That amount shall be adjusted annually for changes in enrollment, and for the change in the cost of living pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution. (b) The funds appropriated for the purposes of subdivision (a) shall be allocated to each community college district in an equal amount per unit of enrollment, in accordance with the allocation procedure set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41204. (a) It is the intent of the Legislature, pursuant to "The Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act," that school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, and community college districts, as constituted during 1986-87 fiscal year, annually receive a basic minimum portion of the revenues that is equivalent to the percentage of revenues that were deposited to the General Fund in that year. (b) In recognition of this intent, it is further the intent of the Legislature that both houses and the Governor be guided by the following: (1) If the revenues of a tax that were deposited in the General Fund in the 1986-87 fiscal year are redirected to another fund, or level of government, then the percentages of General Fund revenues required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services shall be recalculated as if those revenues were not deposited in the General Fund in the 1986-87 fiscal year. (2) If the allocated local proceeds of taxes, as defined by subdivisions (g) and (h) of Section 41202, received by a school district or community college district during the 1986-87 fiscal year are redirected to other entities or statutorily or constitutionally reduced or eliminated, the additional General Fund support provided to replace the allocated local proceeds of taxes may not be counted as General Fund revenues required to be applied for the support of school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, unless the percentage of General Fund revenues appropriated to school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services in the 1986-87 fiscal year is adjusted to reflect the amount of General Fund support that would have been provided in the 1986-87 fiscal year had the allocated local proceeds of taxes been correspondingly reduced. (3) If a program of a school district, as defined in Section 41302.5, or of a community college district was supported by state funds from a source other than the General Fund during the 1986-87 fiscal year and General Fund moneys are subsequently provided in support of the program and in lieu of the other source of funds, the supplanting General Fund revenues shall not be counted as monies to be applied by the state for the support of school districts or community college districts pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (c) Programs that existed in the 1986-87 fiscal year, and were not the functional responsibility of school districts or community college districts in that fiscal year, shall not be shifted to the responsibility or financial support of school districts or community college districts without appropriate corresponding adjustment to the calculations made pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent the creation of a new educational program that is supported by a General Fund appropriation made in conformity with subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (d) Enrollment, average daily attendance, or average daily attendance equivalents used for the purpose of calculating "increases in enrollment" pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution shall not be redefined, adjusted, or otherwise recalculated unless the appropriate action is taken to neutralize the effect of the change with respect to the adjustment required to be made for increases in enrollment. 41204.1. (a) (1) Pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 41204, the Director of Finance shall annually adjust "the percentage of General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and community college districts, respectively, in fiscal year 1986-87" for purposes of applying paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, to reflect those property tax revenue allocation modifications required by the qualifying provisions in a manner that ensures that those modifications will have no net fiscal impact upon the amounts that are otherwise required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (2) For purposes of this section, "qualifying provisions," means all of the following: (A) The amendments made to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of Division 1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code and Article 7 (commencing with Section 33680) of Chapter 6 of Part 1 of Division 24 of the Health and Safety Code during the 1991-92 Regular Session to the 2003-04 Regular Session, inclusive, and during any Extraordinary Session concurrently held during those session years, inclusive. (B) Section 97.80 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (C) Section 100.06 of the Revenue and Taxation Code. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 2004-05 fiscal year and each fiscal year thereafter, "the percentage of General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and community colleges districts, respectively, in fiscal year 1986-87," for purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, shall be deemed to be the percentage of General Fund revenues that would have been appropriated for those entities if the qualifying provisions had been operative for the 1986-87 fiscal year. (c) It is the intent of the Legislature in enacting the act adding this section to ensure both of the following: (1) That the changes required by the qualifying provisions in the allocations of ad valorem property tax revenues do not have a net fiscal impact upon school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, or community college districts. (2) That the changes required by the qualifying provisions in the allocations of ad valorem property tax revenues do not have a net fiscal impact upon the amounts of revenue otherwise required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41204.2. The Director of Finance shall adjust "the percentage of General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and community college districts, respectively, in fiscal year 1986-87" for purposes of applying paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution in a manner that ensures that the shift in General Fund revenues pursuant to Sections 6051.8, 6201.8, 6357.7, and 7361.1, subdivision (b) of Section 7360, and subdivision (b) of Section 60050 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, as those provisions were enacted in the 2009-10 Eighth Extraordinary Session, shall have no net fiscal impact upon the amounts that are otherwise required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41204.5. (a) The Legislature finds and declares this section to be in furtherance of the purposes set forth in Section 41204. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 1992-93 fiscal year, the percentage of "General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and community college districts, respectively, in fiscal year 1986-87," for purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, shall be deemed to be the percentage of General Fund revenues that would have been appropriated for those entities if the amendments made to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code by statutes enacted during the 1991-92 Regular Session having the effect that property tax revenues are shifted from one or more counties, cities, or special districts to one or more school districts or community college districts, had been operative for the 1986-87 fiscal year. (c) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, for the 1993-94 fiscal year and each year thereafter, the percentage of "General Fund revenues appropriated for school districts and community college districts, respectively, in fiscal year 1986-87," for purposes of paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, shall be deemed to be the percentage of General Fund revenues that would have been appropriated for those entities if the amendments made to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code by statutes enacted during the 1991-92 Regular Session and the amendments made to that chapter by statutes enacted during the 1993-94 Regular Session having the effect that property tax revenues are shifted from one or more counties, cities, or special districts to one or more school districts or community college districts, had been operative for the 1986-87 fiscal year. 41204.6. Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, for the purposes of determining the minimum state school funding obligation pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the 1993-94 fiscal year and the supplemental appropriation for school districts and community college districts pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 41203.5 of the Education Code for the 1993-94 fiscal year, the 1993-94 fiscal year "appropriations for all other programs and services from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B of the California Constitution, excluding any revenues allocated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution," as used in subdivision (b) of Section 41203.5, shall be deemed to be appropriations for all other programs and services from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIIIB of the California Constitution, excluding any revenues allocated pursuant to subdivision (a) of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, that would have been appropriated for those entities if the amendments made to Chapter 6 (commencing with Section 95) of Part 0.5 of the Revenue and Taxation Code by statutes enacted during the 1993-94 Regular Session having the effect that property tax revenues are shifted from one or more counties, cities, or special districts to one or more school districts, county offices of education, or community college districts, had not been enacted. 41205. The Legislature hereby finds and declares that the only state agencies that provide direct elementary and secondary level instructional services within the meaning of Section 41302.5 are those state agencies enumerated in Section 8880.5 of the Government Code, or in any successor to that section, not including any agency enumerated in any of subdivisions (a) to (e), inclusive, of that section, and California Indian education centers as established pursuant to Article 6 (commencing with Section 33380) of Chapter 3 of Part 20. The amount of any appropriation made to a state agency for direct elementary and secondary level instruction services shall be determined by applying the definition of those services, as defined in the California School Accounting Manual, to the expenditures of the agency. However, for the Diagnostic Schools for Neurologically Handicapped Children, as established pursuant to Article 1 (commencing with Section 59200) of Chapter 3 of Part 32, all expenditures of the agency shall be considered appropriations made to a state agency for direct elementary and secondary level instruction. 41206. (a) For purposes of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, all determinations of percentages, amounts, revenues, appropriations, allocations, proceeds of taxes, increases in cost of living, or enrollments shall be based upon the best available estimate until actual data becomes available, and then upon actual data when it is available. (b) (1) Within nine months following the end of any fiscal year, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Director of Finance shall recalculate, as necessary, and jointly certify all actual data pertaining to school districts, as defined, for the prior fiscal year. Any amount of funding required by subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution to be appropriated to school districts for that year, less any amounts already appropriated for that year including any amounts appropriated for deficiencies pursuant to paragraph (2), shall be set aside by the Controller and, if not appropriated to school districts by the Legislature within 90 days, shall be allocated to school districts by the Controller in proportion to the enrollment in school districts as determined for purposes of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (2) For purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, appropriations for deficiencies or prior year adjustments shall be deemed to be appropriations in the fiscal year in which the deficiencies or prior year adjustments occurred, unless otherwise provided by law. (c) Within nine months following the end of any fiscal year, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges and the Director of Finance shall recalculate, as necessary, and jointly certify all actual data pertaining to community college districts, as defined, for the prior fiscal year. Any amount of funding required by subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution to be appropriated to community college districts for that year, less any amounts already appropriated for that year, shall be set aside by the Controller and, if not appropriated to community college districts by the Legislature within 90 days, shall be allocated to community college districts by the Controller in proportion to the enrollment in community college districts as determined for purposes of Section 8.5 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41206.1. Pursuant to Section 41206, the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the Chancellor of the California Community Colleges, and the Controller shall ensure that the General Fund appropriations transferred to Sections A and B of the State School Fund include adjustments reflected in the amounts finally certified by the superintendent or the chancellor, respectively, at the annual certification of apportionments pursuant to Sections 41336, 41341, and 84320, for purposes of determining appropriations and allocations pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41206.5. For purposes of paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, "total allocations to school districts and community college districts from General Fund proceeds of taxes appropriated pursuant to Article XIII B and allocated local proceeds of taxes" for any fiscal year shall include any revenues that are allocated to school districts and community college districts, as a result of the determination, pursuant to the two-year calculation set forth in subdivision (a) of Section 2 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution, that their allocation would not result in an appropriation by the state in compliance with Article XIII B of the California Constitution. 41207. (a) Notwithstanding Section 41206, by January 1, 2006, the Superintendent of Public Instruction and the Director of Finance shall jointly determine the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the 1995-96 to 2003-04 fiscal years, inclusive. The Director of Finance shall notify the Governor and Legislature of the amount of the outstanding balance for each fiscal year between the 1995-96 and 2003-04 fiscal years, inclusive, and the total amount of the outstanding balance for those years. This notification does not constitute a certification for purposes of Section 41206. (b) If the joint determination required pursuant to subdivision (a) is not made for any fiscal year by January 1, 2006, the Controller shall make the determination for that fiscal year or years and shall notify the Governor and Legislature of that determination on or before March 1, 2006. This notification does not constitute a certification for purposes of Section 41206. (c) For purposes of this section, the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for a fiscal year is the amount, if any, by which the amount required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, including any maintenance factor that should have been allocated in that fiscal year pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XVI, exceeds the amount applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year. (d) Commencing with the 2006-07 fiscal year, the sum of one hundred fifty million dollars ($150,000,000) is hereby annually appropriated from the General Fund to the Controller for allocation to school districts and community college districts for the purpose of discharging in full the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution identified in subdivision (a) or (b) of this section. This annual appropriation shall continue until the Director of Finance reports to the Legislature that the sum of appropriations made and allocated pursuant to this subdivision equals the total outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution determined pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b), as applicable. (1) The amount annually appropriated pursuant to this subdivision shall be allocated to school districts and community college districts in a manner that reflects the proportion of regular average daily attendance in school districts, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 41209, to funded full-time equivalent students in community college districts, as those numbers are reported at the time of the second principal apportionment for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which funds are to be received. (2) The Controller shall allocate funds annually appropriated pursuant to this subdivision to school districts and community college districts based on attendance information provided by the department and Chancellor of the California Community Colleges on August 15 of each year commencing with the 2006-07 fiscal year, unless otherwise provided by the Legislature pursuant to subdivision (g). For purposes of this subdivision a school district includes a county office of education and a charter school. (e) For purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the amounts appropriated and allocated pursuant to this section shall be applied to the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the 1995-96 to 2003-04 fiscal years, inclusive, in chronological order beginning with the 1995-96 fiscal year and shall be deemed to be appropriations made and allocated in the fiscal year in which the deficiencies resulting in the outstanding balance were incurred. When the amount determined to be owed for each fiscal year pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) is fully appropriated and allocated pursuant to subdivision (d), the data used in the computations made under subdivision (a) or (b) and the total amount owed by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for that fiscal year, including as much of the maintenance factor for that fiscal year determined pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 8 of Article XVI as has been allocated as required by subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XVI by virtue of the payments made under this section, shall be deemed certified for purposes of Section 41206. (f) Funding received by school districts and community college districts pursuant to this section shall first be deemed to be paid in satisfaction of any outstanding claims pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution for reimbursement of state-mandated local costs for any fiscal year. Notwithstanding any amounts that are deemed, pursuant to this subdivision, to be paid in satisfaction of outstanding claims for reimbursement of state-mandated local costs, the Controller may audit any claim as allowed by law and may reduce any amount owed by a local educational agency pursuant to an audit by reducing amounts owed for any other mandate claims. The Controller shall apply amounts received by each school district or community college district against any balances of unpaid claims for reimbursement of state-mandated local costs and interest in chronological order beginning with the earliest claim. The Controller shall report to each local educational agency the amounts of any claims and interest that are offset from funds provided pursuant to this section and shall report a summary of the amounts offset for each mandate for each fiscal year to the Department of Finance and the fiscal committees of the Legislature. The governing board of a school district or community college district may expend funds received pursuant to this section in excess of amounts offsetting mandate claims for any other one-time purposes, as determined by the governing board. (g) The Legislature may specify in the annual Budget Act or other statute other one-time purposes for which the funds appropriated pursuant to this section shall be used so long as those appropriations are made for allocation to school districts or community college districts. 41207.1. (a) Notwithstanding Section 41206, the minimum state educational funding guarantee for school districts and community college districts for the 2004-05 fiscal year, as determined pursuant to Chapter 213 of the Statutes of 2004, is forty-eight billion six hundred seventy-five million six hundred seventy-four thousand dollars ($48,675,674,000), creating an outstanding balance of one billion six hundred twenty million nine hundred twenty-eight thousand dollars ($1,620,928,000). The outstanding balance shall be appropriated and allocated pursuant to Article 3.7 (commencing with Section 52055.700) of Chapter 6.1 of Part 28. (b) Notwithstanding Section 41206, the outstanding balance of the minimum state educational funding requirement for school districts and community college districts required by subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution in the 2005-06 fiscal year shall be determined using actual data agreed to by the Superintendent and the Director of Finance no later than January 31, 2008. The Director of Finance shall provide a written notification to the Legislature within one month after completion of the determination, detailing the data of the determination. The outstanding balance shall be appropriated and allocated pursuant to Article 3.7 (commencing with Section 52055.700) of Chapter 6.1 of Part 28. (c) When the amount determined to be owed for the 2004-05 and 2005-06 fiscal years pursuant to subdivision (a) or (b) is fully appropriated and allocated pursuant to Article 3.7 (commencing with Section 52055.700) of Chapter 6.1 of Part 28, the data used in the computations made under subdivisions (a) and (b) and the total amount owed by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution and Chapter 213 of the Statutes of 2004 for those fiscal years, including as much of the maintenance factor for those fiscal years determined pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 8 of Article XVI as has been allocated as required by subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XVI by virtue of the payments made under this section, shall be deemed certified for purposes of Section 41206. 41207.2. (a) Notwithstanding Sections 41203.5 and 41206 and any other provision of law, the minimum funding obligation for school districts and community college districts pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the 2008-09 fiscal year is forty-nine billion one hundred two million forty-one thousand dollars ($49,102,041,000). The maintenance factor created pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the 2008-09 fiscal year, together with the balances of maintenance factor obligations for prior fiscal years that are unpaid as of June 30, 2009, totals eleven billion two hundred twelve million nine hundred nine thousand dollars ($11,212,909,000). The maintenance factor shall be appropriated and allocated pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (b) For the 2009-10 fiscal year, computations of funding obligations pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution shall be based on the amount of the minimum funding guarantee for the 2008-09 fiscal year, and the amount of the maintenance factor obligation set forth in subdivision (a) of this section. (c) The computations required by subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for a fiscal year shall be performed prior to, and separately from, the computation of the maintenance factor allocation identified in subdivision (a) of this section and required by subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 41207.3. (a) If the Superintendent and the Director of Finance jointly determine that, for the 2008-09 fiscal year, the state has applied moneys for the support of school districts and community college districts in an amount that exceeds the minimum amount required for that fiscal year pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the excess, up to one billion one hundred million five hundred ninety thousand dollars ($1,100,590,000), shall be deemed, as of June 30 of that fiscal year, a payment in satisfaction of the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation under that section for the 2002-03 and 2003-04 fiscal years in accordance with the following: (1) The first four hundred eighty-three million sixteen thousand dollars ($483,016,000) in payment of the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation for the 2002-03 fiscal year. (2) The next six hundred seventeen million five hundred seventy-four thousand dollars ($617,574,000) in payment of the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation for the 2003-04 fiscal year. (b) For purposes of this section, the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for a fiscal year is the amount, if any, by which the amount required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, including any maintenance factor that should have been allocated in that fiscal year pursuant to subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XVI, exceeds the amount applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts for that fiscal year. (c) The amounts allocated pursuant to this section shall be deemed, for purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, to be appropriations made and allocated in the fiscal year in which the deficiencies resulting in the outstanding balance were incurred. When the amount determined to be owed for each such fiscal year is fully allocated pursuant to this subdivision, the data used in the computations made under this section with regard to the total amount owed by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for that fiscal year, including as much of the maintenance factor for that fiscal year determined pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 8 of Article XVI as has been allocated as required by subdivision (e) of Section 8 of Article XVI by virtue of the allocations made under this section, shall be deemed certified for purposes of Section 41206. (d) The amount described in subdivision (a) shall be deemed a payment in full satisfaction of the amounts owed pursuant to Section 41207. 41207.3. (a) Notwithstanding Section 41206, the minimum state educational funding obligation for school districts and community college districts pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution is determined to be the following: (1) Fifty-three billion three hundred forty-five million four hundred twenty thousand dollars ($53,345,420,000) for the 2005-06 fiscal year, with an outstanding balance of one billion one hundred ten million five hundred sixteen thousand dollars ($1,110,516,000). The outstanding balance is appropriated and allocated pursuant to Article 3.7 (commencing with Section 52055.700) of Chapter 6.1 of Part 28. (2) Fifty-five billion two hundred fifty-one million two hundred sixty-six thousand dollars ($55,251,266,000) for the 2006-07 fiscal year, with an outstanding balance of two hundred eleven million five hundred thirty-three thousand dollars ($211,533,000). Commencing with the 2014-15 fiscal year, the Legislature shall appropriate the outstanding balance and specify in the annual Budget Act or other statute making such appropriations that the funds shall be used for any one-time purpose so long as those appropriations are made for allocation to school districts or community college districts. (3) Fifty-six billion five hundred seventy-seven million four hundred ninety-one thousand dollars ($56,577,491,000) for the 2007-08 fiscal year, with no outstanding balance. (b) (1) The amount determined pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of this section shall be deemed certified for purposes of Section 41206 when the conditions set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 41207.1 are met. (2) The amount determined pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of this section shall be deemed certified for purposes of Section 41206 upon appropriation of the full amount of the outstanding balance determined for that year. (3) The amount determined pursuant to paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of this section is deemed to be certified for purposes of Section 41206 upon enactment of this section. 41207.4. (a) The sum of two hundred ten million one hundred thousand dollars ($210,100,000) is hereby appropriated in the 2010-11 fiscal year from the General Fund to the Controller for allocation to school districts and community college districts for the purpose of offsetting the 2009-10 outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (1) The amount appropriated pursuant to this subdivision shall be allocated to school districts and community college districts as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 41203.1. (2) The amount allocated to school districts pursuant to this subdivision shall be distributed in a manner that reflects the proportion of regular average daily attendance in school districts, as defined in subdivision (a) of Section 41209, as those numbers are reported at the time of the second principal apportionment for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which funds are to be received. (3) The amount annually allocated to community college districts pursuant to this subdivision shall be distributed based on enrolled full-time equivalent students, as those numbers are reported at the time of the second principal apportionment for the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which funds are to be received. (4) For purposes of this subdivision a school district includes a county office of education and a charter school. (b) For purposes of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the amounts appropriated and allocated pursuant to this section shall be applied to the outstanding balance of the minimum funding obligation to school districts and community college districts pursuant to Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution for the 2009-10 fiscal year, and shall be deemed to be appropriations made and allocated in that fiscal year in which the deficiencies resulting in the outstanding balance were incurred. (c) Funding received by school districts and community college districts pursuant to this section shall first be deemed to be paid in satisfaction of any outstanding claims pursuant to Section 6 of Article XIII B of the California Constitution for reimbursement of state-mandated local costs for any fiscal year. Notwithstanding any amounts that are deemed, pursuant to this subdivision, to be paid in satisfaction of outstanding claims for reimbursement of state-mandated local costs, the Controller may audit any claim as allowed by law and may reduce any amount owed by school districts and community college districts pursuant to an audit by reducing amounts owed for any other mandate claims. The Controller shall apply amounts received by each school district or community college district against any balances of unpaid claims for reimbursement of state-mandated local costs and interest in chronological order beginning with the earliest claim. The Controller shall report to each school district and community college district the amounts of any claims and interest that are offset from funds provided pursuant to this section and shall report a summary of the amounts offset for each mandate for each fiscal year to the Department of Finance and the fiscal committees of the Legislature. The governing board of a school district or community college district may expend funds received pursuant to this section in excess of amounts offsetting mandate claims for any other one-time purposes, as determined by the governing board. 41207.5. There is hereby established in the General Fund the Proposition 98 Reversion Account. The Legislature shall, from time to time, transfer into the Proposition 98 Reversion Account moneys previously appropriated in satisfaction of the requirements of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution that have not been disbursed or otherwise encumbered for the purposes for which they were appropriated. Moneys that are appropriated in satisfaction of the minimum funding obligation under Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution that would otherwise revert to the unexpended balance of the General Fund shall instead be deposited in the Proposition 98 Reversion Account. 41208. To ensure that the changes to average daily attendance resulting from the revision of the calculation of apportionments for high school pupils concurrently enrolled in adult education pursuant to Assembly Bill 1891 of the 1991-92 Regular Session do not result in unintended reductions to the minimum funding guarantee established by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, the following shall be used to determine the average daily attendance computed pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (a) of Section 14022.3, for the purpose of determining "changes in enrollment" for the 1992-93 and 1993-94 fiscal years and for subsequent fiscal years pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution: (a) For the 1992-93 fiscal year, Section 42238.5 is hereby deemed to refer to that section as it existed on July 1, 1992, for the purpose of calculating average daily attendance for both the 1991-92 and 1992-93 fiscal years. (b) For the 1993-94 fiscal year, Section 42238.5 is hereby deemed to refer to that section as amended by Assembly Bill 1891 of the 1991-92 Regular Session for the purposes of calculating the average daily attendance for both the 1992-93 and 1993-94 fiscal years. (c) For the 1994-95 and each fiscal year thereafter, Section 42238.5 is hereby deemed to refer to that section as amended by Assembly Bill 1891 of the 1991-92 Regular Session for the purposes of calculating the average daily attendance for both the prior and current fiscal years. 41209. (a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), and notwithstanding any other provision of law, in any fiscal year when, in addition to any allocations required pursuant to Section 42238.42, an appropriation is made for the purposes of meeting the minimum funding requirements for public education, as set forth in Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, because these requirements were not sufficiently funded in a prior fiscal year, and the appropriation is apportioned on the basis of equal payments for each unit of each school district's average daily attendance, it is the intent of the Legislature that average daily attendance shall include the average daily attendance for regular education, adult education, and regional occupational programs and centers, as claimed in the school year in which the funding deficiency occurred. It is not the intent of the Legislature to interfere with, or to change, the application of Section 42238.42. (b) Nothing in this section shall be construed to limit the flexibility of the Legislature or Governor to propose budget appropriations apportioned on the basis of equal payments for each unit of each school district's average daily attendance that exclude funds for adult education programs or regional occupational programs and centers. (c) A district receiving funds distributed as described in subdivision (a) shall, consistent with Section 52501.5, use any funds allocated for average daily attendance of adult education programs or regional occupational centers or programs only for purposes of adult education programs or regional occupational centers or programs.
