(a)
It is the intent of the Legislature, pursuant to “The Classroom Instructional Improvement and Accountability Act,” that school districts, as defined in Section 41302.5, and community college districts, as constituted during the 1986–87 fiscal year, annually receive a basic minimum portion of the revenues that is equivalent to the percentage of revenues that were deposited to the General Fund in that year.
(b)
In recognition of this intent, it is further the intent of the Legislature that both houses and the Governor be guided by the following:
(1)
If the revenues of a tax that were deposited in the General Fund in
the 1986–87 fiscal year are redirected to another fund, or level of government, then the percentages of General Fund revenues required to be applied by the state for the support of school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services shall be recalculated as if those revenues were not deposited in the General Fund in the 1986–87 fiscal year.
(2)
If the allocated local proceeds of taxes, as defined by subdivisions (g) and (h) of Section 41202, received by a school district or community college district during the 1986–87 fiscal year are redirected to other entities or statutorily or constitutionally reduced or eliminated, the additional General Fund support provided to replace the allocated local proceeds of taxes may not be counted as General Fund revenues required to be applied for the support of school districts, community college districts, and state agencies
providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution, unless the percentage of General Fund revenues appropriated to school districts, community college districts, and state agencies providing direct elementary and secondary level instructional services in the 1986–87 fiscal year is adjusted to reflect the amount of General Fund support that would have been provided in the 1986–87 fiscal year had the allocated local proceeds of taxes been correspondingly reduced.
(3)
If a program of a school district, as defined in Section 41302.5, or of a community college district was supported by state funds from a source other than the General Fund during the 1986–87 fiscal year and General Fund moneys are subsequently provided in support of the program and in lieu of the other source of funds, the supplanting General Fund revenues shall
not be counted as moneys to be applied by the state for the support of school districts or community college districts pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
(c)
Programs that existed in the 1986–87 fiscal year, and were not the functional responsibility of school districts or community college districts in that fiscal year, shall not be shifted to the responsibility or financial support of school districts or community college districts without appropriate corresponding adjustment to the calculations made pursuant to subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution. Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prevent the creation of a new educational program that is supported by a General Fund appropriation made in conformity with subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution.
(d)
Enrollment, average daily attendance, or average daily attendance equivalents used for the purpose of calculating “increases in enrollment” pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (b) of Section 8 of Article XVI of the California Constitution shall not be redefined, adjusted, or otherwise recalculated unless the appropriate action is taken to neutralize the effect of the change with respect to the adjustment required to be made for increases in enrollment.
