Summary

(1) Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to determine a revenue limit for each school district in the county pursuant to a specified formula based on the base revenue limit of the school district for the prior year, adjusted for inflation, and the average daily attendance for the entire school district. This bill would require the base revenue limit for each school district for the 2011–12 fiscal year to include an adjustment computed as specified. The bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to calculate an add-on for each school district, as specified. The bill would require the Superintendent to calculate and apportion for each basic aid district, as defined, an amount equal to the amount computed pursuant to the provision referenced in (4) below. (2) Existing law specifies that the revenue limit for the Newport-Mesa Unified School District will not include certain amounts that were not received by the district due to bankruptcy proceedings initiated by the County of Orange. This bill would provide that these provisions would remain in effect only until July 1, 2010. (3) Existing law creates the Santa Cruz High School attendance area, a program for middle school options to eliminate revenue limit inequities. This bill would provide that these provisions would remain in effect only until July 1, 2010. (4) Under existing law, in the computation of its revenue limit for the current fiscal year, a school district may add the amount computed in the preceding fiscal year for the Meals for Needy Pupils program. This bill would provide that these provisions would remain in effect only until July 1, 2010. (5) Existing law provides a revenue limit adjustment for a school district or county office of education that offers a minimum beginning teacher salary. This bill would recast and revise these provisions to generally delete their application to school districts as of July 1, 2010. (6) Existing law establishes the Jack O'Connell Beginning-Teacher Salary Incentive Program, under which a county superintendent of schools, or the county board of education, may increase the salary for certain teachers on its adopted certificated employee salary schedule, as specified. If a school district elects to meet specified requirements, it is eligible to receive an incentive amount. This bill would recast and revise these provisions to generally delete their application to school districts as of July 1, 2010.
