Summary

(1) Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools, upon the request of the governing board of a school district within his or her jurisdiction that elects to take advantage of specified provisions of law, to transfer a specified sum from the general fund of the school district to the school maintenance and repair fund. This bill would delete obsolete cross-references relating to these provisions and would make technical changes. (2) Existing law authorizes a county superintendent of schools to establish a fund or funds for losses and payments, including, but not limited to, property of the superintendent, any liability, and workers' compensation, in the county treasury for the purpose of covering the deductible amount under deductible types of insurance policies, losses or payments arising from self-insurance programs, or losses or payments due to noninsured perils. Existing law specifies that these provisions do not preclude a county superintendent from providing protection against those losses and liability partly by means of insurance written by acceptable insurers. This bill would delete an obsolete cross-reference relating to insurance and would make technical changes. (3) Existing law requires that all expenses necessary for the county board of education, the county committee on school district organization, and the county superintendent of schools, to comply with certain provisions of law, are payable from the county general fund, except as specified. This bill would delete an obsolete cross-reference relating to these provisions. (4) Existing law requires a unified school district that is coterminous with or includes within its boundaries a chartered city or city and county to be governed by the board of education provided for in the charter of the city or city and county. Existing law exempts such a unified school district from certain provisions of law, except as specified. This bill would delete an obsolete cross-reference relating to these provisions and would make technical changes. (5) Existing law requires that certain school funds be transferred to the special reserve fund of a school district, or designated building fund of a community college district, and be used only for specified purposes. This bill would delete obsolete cross-references relating to these provisions. (6) Existing law authorizes the governing board of a school district or the county superintendent of schools of a county to, among other things, conduct field trips or excursions in connection with courses of instruction or school-related social, educational, cultural, athletic, or school band activities. This bill would delete an obsolete cross-reference relating to these provisions. (7) Existing law provides that any action to reorganize a school district shall be effective for all purposes on July 1 of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the action is completed, except as specified. This bill would correct an erroneous cross-reference relating to these provisions. (8) Existing law provides that whenever the boundaries of an elementary school district and a high school district become coterminous, the districts are merged into a new unified district. Existing law authorizes an elementary school district that has boundaries within a high school district to be excluded from an action to unify those districts if the governing board receives approval from the State Board of Education. This bill would instead authorize an elementary school district that has boundaries within a high school district to be excluded from an action to unify those districts if the governing board receives approval from the county committee, if specified conditions are met, or from the state board if these conditions are not met.
