Education finance: revenue limits.

(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. Existing law requires the base revenue limit for each school district for the 2011–12 fiscal year to include an adjustment computed as specified and related to funding incentives to increase beginning teachers' salaries and funding for Meals for Needy Pupils programs. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to calculate the amount of this adjustment for each school district, as specified. This bill would defer until the 2013–14 fiscal year that portion of the 2011–12 fiscal year adjustment related to funding for Meals for Needy Pupils programs. (2) A former provision, which became inoperative on July 1, 2010, and was repealed on January 1, 2011, authorized an adjustment of the revenue limit of a school district to reflect funding for Meals for Needy Pupils programs. This bill would reenact this authorization, which would be operative until July 1, 2013.
