This bill died with 2015-2016 Regular Session. It reached “In Committee” and never advanced before the session ended, so it can no longer move — a new version would have to be reintroduced in the current session.

This bill is no longer active — its legislative session has ended, so there are no live odds of enactment. It would have to be reintroduced in the current session to move again.

Summary

(1) Existing law, for specified purposes, provides that a necessary small school is an elementary school with an average daily attendance of less than 97, excluding pupils attending the 7th and 8th grades of a junior high school, maintained by a school district to which any of certain conditions apply. Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to make computations for each elementary and secondary school district that has fewer than 2,501 units of second principal apportionment average daily attendance and maintains at least one school that meets the criteria for a necessary small school. This bill would deem Rail Road Flat Elementary School to be a necessary small school and make the Calaveras Unified School District eligible to receive apportionments for this school pursuant to its status as a necessary small school. The bill would provide that if the average daily attendance of this school exceeds 96, then the school would no longer be eligible to receive apportionments as a necessary small school. (2) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Calaveras Unified School District. (3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
