Education finance: average daily attendance funding for workforce development services.

Existing law establishes a system of public elementary and secondary schools in this state. Under this system, school districts provide instruction to pupils in kindergarten and grades 1 to 12, inclusive. Existing law establishes a system for the provision of state funding for public elementary and secondary schools. This funding system is based upon, among other factors, the average daily attendance levels of pupils enrolled at schools throughout the state. This bill would authorize a school district to recover average daily attendance funds that are attributable to the reenrollment of a pupil who was previously enrolled in that school district. The bill would also authorize a school district to expend average daily attendance funds recovered from the reenrollment of pupils on workforce development services, including subsidized career pathway employment or internship opportunities for the reenrolled pupils.
