School finance: necessary small schools.

Existing law requires, for each school district that includes a necessary small school, as defined, in the current or prior fiscal year, the Superintendent of Public Instruction to compute a specified funding allocation for each necessary small school in the school district. Existing law requires that funding allocation to be the greater of either the amount calculated based on prior year average daily attendance or the amount calculated based on current year average daily attendance, as provided. This bill would instead require the Superintendent to make that funding allocation for each school district that includes a necessary small school in the current fiscal year or either of the 2 most recent prior fiscal years. The bill would require the funding allocation to be the greater of the amount calculated based on current year average daily attendance or the amount based on the fiscal year in which the funding level would be the greatest out of the 2 most recent prior fiscal years.
