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. Under the local control funding formula, an important component is the number of "unduplicated pupils," as defined to be pupils classified as English learners, as eligible for free or reduced-price meals, or as foster youth, for purposes of supplemental grants. This bill would, commencing with the 2018–19 fiscal year, adjust the definition of "unduplicated pupils" to include pupils who are included in the lowest performing subgroup or subgroups, as defined, based on the most recently available mathematics or language arts results on the California Assessment of Student Performance and Progress, as specified.
