Summary

(1) Existing law includes average daily attendance as a component of the calculation under the local control funding formula. For each school district that operates a school where one or more state-operated migrant housing projects are located within the attendance area of the school, and at least 13 of the maximum number of pupils enrolled in the school in the relevant fiscal year are migratory children, existing law requires the school district's fiscal year average daily attendance to be increased, as specified. This bill would repeal the latter provision. (2) Existing law establishes the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification Incentive Program to award grants to teachers who have, among other things, attained certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards. Under the program, a teacher who has attained a national board certification is eligible for an award of up to $25,000, upon agreeing to teach for 5 years at a high-priority school, and a teacher who initiates the process of attaining national board certification when teaching at a high-priority school is eligible for an award of $2,500, as provided. Existing law defines a high-priority school for these purposes as a school with 55% or more of its pupils being unduplicated pupils, determined as of the date of the teacher's agreement. Existing law appropriates $250,000,000 from the General Fund to the department for purposes of the program and makes those moneys available for encumbrance until June 30, 2026, as provided. This bill would, commencing July 1, 2023, authorize a teacher who initiates the process of maintenance of certification from the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards when teaching at a high-priority school to receive an award of $495. By expanding the allowable purposes of funds appropriated for the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards Certification Incentive Program, the bill would make an appropriation. The bill would require the State Department of Education to disburse these funds to the National Board for Professional Teaching Standards and would require unused funds to be applied to future candidates. The bill would revise the definition of a high-priority school to be a school with 55% or more of its pupils being unduplicated pupils, as determined by the department. (3) Funds appropriated by this bill would be applied toward the minimum funding requirements for school districts and community college districts imposed by Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. (4) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
