LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


SB 754, Padilla. School funding: economic impact aid.
Existing law provides economic impact aid funding to school districts based on the number of economically disadvantaged pupils and English learners enrolled in the school district. Existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to perform specified calculations to determine the amount of economic impact aid a school district receives for a fiscal year and further requires each school district to expend these funds for specified programs and activities.
This bill would require a school district, as a condition of the receipt of economic impact aid funds, to post in an easily accessible location on its Internet Web site data related to its economic impact aid funding and expenditures, as specified.
Vote: MAJORITY   Appropriation: NO   Fiscal Committee: NO   Local Program: NO
