CALIFORNIA STATUTES AND CODES

SECTIONS 41200-41207

EDUCATION CODE
SECTION 41200-41207
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. 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. 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 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 any local governmental entity, 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. (c) No appropriation of funding to be allocated to school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, or community college districts, for the support of any program or activity of either or both of those entities, that is not an ordinary or historical responsibility of one or both of those entities shall be credited toward the state's funding obligation under subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. 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) 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, 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. (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. 41207. This chapter shall remain in effect only until July 1, 1990, and as of that date is repealed, unless Senate Constitutional Amendment No. 1 is ratified by the voters at the statewide election to be held on June 5, 1990.
