Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified. Existing law provides that if the average daily attendance of a school district, county office of education, or charter school has been materially decreased during any fiscal year because of specified emergencies, that fact shall be established to the satisfaction of the Superintendent of Public Instruction by affidavits of the members of the governing board or body of the school district, county office of education, or charter school and the county superintendent of schools. Existing law provides that in the event of a state of emergency declared by the Governor in a county, which causes a decrease in the average daily attendance in the county for a school district, county office of education, or charter school, the Superintendent shall determine the length of the period during which average daily attendance has been reduced by the state of emergency. Existing law requires the Superintendent to estimate the average daily attendance for the fiscal year in a manner that credits to the school district, county office of education, or charter school, for determining the apportionments to be made to it, the approximate total average daily attendance that would have been credited to the school district, county office of education, or charter school, had the emergency not occurred. This bill would allow the period determined by the Superintendent to be extended to the 2019–20 fiscal year, for a state of emergency declared by the Governor in a county due to the 2017 wildfires, for those wildfires, if a specified showing is made by a school district, county office of education, or charter school, to the satisfaction of the Superintendent. The bill would require the Superintendent to make a supplemental apportionment for the 2019–20 fiscal year to a school district, county office of education, or charter school in an amount that credits to the school district, county office of education, or charter school 50% of the apportionment the school district, county office of education, or charter school would have received from the State School Fund based on the average daily attendance the school district, county office of education, or charter school lost due to the 2017 wildfires, as determined by the Superintendent.
