Education finance.

The California Constitution requires the state, from all state revenues, to first set apart the moneys to be applied for the support of the public school system and public institutions of higher education. The Constitution requires that the moneys to be applied by the state for the support of school districts and community college districts be not less than the greater of 3 amounts computed pursuant to specified tests. Statutory provisions require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to perform various computations for purposes of allocating these moneys to local educational agencies in the form of revenue limit funding and grants for various categorical education programs. This bill would declare the intent of the Legislature to enact legislation regarding public school finance.
