Subchapter 3.75. Standardized Testing and Reporting Program
Article 1. General
§850. Definitions.
Note     •     History

For the purposes of the Standardized Testing and Reporting (STAR) Program, the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context indicates otherwise:
(a) “Accommodations” means any variation in the assessment environment or process that does not fundamentally alter what the test measures or affect the comparability of scores. 
(b) “Administration period” means one of multiple test administration periods used by school districts with schools or programs on non-traditional calendars that begin and complete the school year at various times and have staggered vacation periods to ensure that all pupils are tested at approximately the same point in the instructional year.
(c) “Alternate assessment” means an assessment as provided in Education Code section 60640(e) and its test materials developed to measure the degree to which pupils with exceptional needs who are unable to take the California Standards Tests (CSTs) even with accommodations or modifications are achieving the state content standards. The alternate assessments for the STAR Program are the California Alternate Performance Assessment and the California Modified Assessment (CMA). The student shall not be allowed to take both the California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA) and the California Modified Assessment (CMA). Students shall take CAPA in all subject areas, CSTs in all subject areas, CMA in all subject areas, or a combination of CSTs and CMA in the subject areas being assessed. 
(d) “Alternate performance assessment” means an alternate assessment as provided in Education Code section 60640(e) and its test materials for pupils with significant cognitive disabilities. The alternate performance assessment for the STAR Program is the California Alternate Performance Assessment. 
(e) “California Alternate Performance Assessment (CAPA)” is the alternate assessment as provided in Education Code section 60640(e) and its test materials for pupils with significant cognitive disabilities. 
(f) “California Modified Assessment (CMA)” is the alternate assessment based on modified achievement standards as provided in Education Code section 60640(e) and its test materials. 
(g) “California Standards Tests (CSTs)” means an assessment as provided in Education Code section 60642.5 and its test materials that measures the degree to which pupils are achieving the state content standards.
(h) “CDE” means the California Department of Education.
(i) “Eligible pupil” is any pupil who is not otherwise exempted pursuant to Education Code section 60615.
(1) For the primary language test, an eligible pupil is an English learner in grades 2 to 11, inclusive, with a primary language for which a test is required or optional pursuant to Education Code section 60640.
(2) For the California Alternate Performance Assessment, an eligible pupil is any pupil in grades 2 to 11, inclusive, who has an individualized education program (IEP) that designates the use of the alternate performance assessment and is unable to take the CSTs even with accommodations or modifications. 
(3) For the CMA, an eligible pupil is any pupil in grades 3 to 11, inclusive, who has an IEP, meets the State Board of Education (SBE)-adopted eligibility criteria described in paragraphs (A) through (E) below, and whose IEP designates the use of the modified assessment in one or more content areas. The SBE-adopted eligibility criteria for guiding IEP teams in making decisions about which students with disabilities may participate in the CMA are based, in part, on Title 34 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 200, Title 1, Improving the Academic Achievement of the Disadvantaged. Those criteria are as follows: 
(A) Previous Participation. 
1. CSTs. The student shall have taken the CST in a previous year and scored Below Basic or Far Below Basic in the subject area being assessed by the CMA and may have taken the CSTs with modifications; or
2. CAPA. The student shall have taken the CAPA Level II-V in two previous years and received a performance level of either Proficient or Advanced. The student shall not be allowed to take both the CAPA and CMA. 
(B) Progress Based on Multiple Measures and Objective Evidence. The student's disability has precluded the student from achieving grade-level proficiency, as demonstrated by such objective evidence as the student's performance on the CSTs and other assessments that can validly document academic achievement within the year covered by the student's IEP plan. The determination of the student's progress must be based on multiple measurements, over a period of time, that are valid for the subjects being assessed. The student will not receive a proficient score on the CSTs (even with provision of accommodations) based on evidence from multiple, valid, and objective measures of student progress (or lack of progress). 
(C) Response to Appropriate Instruction. 
1. The student's progress to date in response to appropriate grade-level instruction, including special education and related services designed to address the student's individual needs, is such that, even if significant growth occurs, the IEP team is reasonably certain that the student will not achieve grade-level proficiency within the year covered by the student's IEP plan. 
2. The student who is assessed with the CMA has access to the curriculum, including instruction and materials for the grade in which the student is enrolled. 
3. The student's IEP includes grade-level California content standards-based goals and support in the classroom for a subject or subjects assessed by the CMA. 
4. The student has received special education and related services to support access to and progress in the general curriculum in which the student is enrolled. 
5. The IEP team has determined that the student will not achieve grade-level proficiency even with instructional intervention. 
(D) High School Diploma. The student who takes alternate assessments based on modified academic achievement standards is not precluded from attempting to complete requirements as defined by the State for a regular high school diploma. 
(E) Parents Are Informed. Parents of the students selected to be assessed with the CMA are informed that their child's achievement will be measured based on modified achievement standards. 
(j) “Grade” means the grade assigned to the pupil by the school district at the time of testing.
(k) “Modification” means any variation in the assessment environment or process that fundamentally alters what the test measures or affects the comparability of scores.
(l) “Modified assessment” means an alternate assessment based on modified achievement standards as provided in Education Code section 60640(e) and its test materials. The modified assessment for the STAR Program is the CMA. 
(m) “Nonpublic schools (NPS)” are nonpublic, nonsectarian schools as set forth in California Education Code section 56034.
(n) “Primary language test” means an assessment as provided in Education Code sections 60640(f)(1) and (2) and 60640(g) and its test materials in each primary language for which a test is available for English learners. The primary language test for the STAR Program is the Standards-based Tests in Spanish. 
(o) “School districts” includes elementary, high school, and unified school districts; county offices of education; any charter school that for assessment purposes does not elect to be part of the school district or county office of education that granted the charter; any statewide benefit charter; and any other charter school chartered by the SBE.
(p) “Scribe” is an employee of the school district, or a person assigned by a nonpublic school to implement a pupil's IEP who has signed a STAR Test Security Affidavit and is required to transcribe a pupil's responses to the format required by the test. A pupil's parent or guardian is not eligible to be the pupil's scribe.
(q) A “significant medical emergency” is a significant accident, trauma, or illness (mental or physical) that precludes a pupil in grades 2 to 11, inclusive, from taking the standards-based achievement tests. An accident, trauma, or illness is significant if the pupil has been determined by a licensed physician to be unable to participate in the tests.
(r) “Standards-based achievement tests” means an assessment that measures the degree to which pupils are achieving the state content standards as provided in Education Code sections 60640(e) alternate assessment(s), Education Code section 60642.5 CSTs and its test materials, and Education Code section 60640(f)(3) Standards-based Tests in Spanish, and its test materials. The STAR Program alternate assessments, the California Alternate Performance Assessment and the CMA, are standards-based achievement tests. 
(s) “Standards-based Tests in Spanish” is the standards-based achievement test as provided in Education Code section 60640(f)(3), and its test materials, that is administered as the primary language test as provided in Education Code sections 60640(f) and (g) for pupils whose primary language is Spanish.
(t) “Test examiner” is an employee or contractor of a school district or a non-public school who has been trained to administer the tests and has signed a STAR Test Security Affidavit. For the alternate performance assessment, the test examiner must be a certificated or licensed school, district, or county staff member.
(u) “Test materials” include administration manuals, administrative materials, test booklets, practice tests, and test answer documents provided as part of the administration of the STAR Program assessments. 
(v) “Test proctor” is an employee of a school district, or a person assigned by a nonpublic school to implement a pupil's IEP, who has signed a STAR Test Security Affidavit and has received training designed to prepare him or her to assist the test examiner in the administration of tests within the STAR Program.
(w) “Translator” is a person who has been assigned to translate the test directions into the pupil's primary language pursuant to section 853.5(f), who has signed a Test Security Affidavit as identified in section 859(d), and who has received training specifically designed to prepare him or her to assist the test examiner in the administration of the STAR Program assessments. A pupil's parent or guardian is not eligible to be the pupil's translator. A translator must be: 
(1) an employee of the school district;
(2) an employee of the nonpublic school; or
(3) supervised by an employee of the school district or an employee of the nonpublic school. 
(x) “Variation” means a change in the manner in which a test is presented or administered, or in how a test taker is allowed to respond, and includes, but is not limited to, accommodations and modifications.
(y) “Writing portion of the English-language arts tests” is the performance component of the standards-based achievement tests.

Article 1.5. Education Improvement Incentive Program
§1030. Computation of Change in a School's Performance.
Note     •     History

(a) The formula in subdivision (b) shall be applied by the California Department of Education to all secondary schools eligible to compete in the Education Improvement Incentive Program and whose performance in the prior fiscal year has decreased from that in the next preceding fiscal year. All schools with a 12th grade enrollment of 50 students or fewer and all continuation education schools are excluded from the computation.
(b) The formula:
(1) Subtract the school's prior year composite score on the California Assessment Program (CAP) from the current year score to compute a change score.
(2) Regress the number of students tested in CAP and the square of the number of students tested onto the change score using a standard multiple regression procedure.
(3) Using the results of the multiple regression, compute a predicted change score.
(4) Subtract the actual change score obtained by the school from the predicted change score to obtain a residual.
(5) Studentize the residual to have a mean of zero and a standard deviation of 1.
(6) Identify those schools which have a studentized residual equal to or less than minus 1.5. A studentized residual is the ratio of the residual to its standard error after the model has been fit and predicted change scores and residuals calculated. The predicted change scores are calculated from the estimated regression equation. The residuals are calculated as actual minus predicted.
(7) For those schools identified in paragraph (6) of this subdivision, the incentive award for the current year shall be based on the improvement in performance between the current year and the 1983-84 fiscal year or the fiscal year in which the school first participated in the incentive program.
(c) Any school whose incentive award is adversely affected by a calculation pursuant to subdivision (b) may appeal to the State Superintendent of Public Instruction.

§1032. General Eligibility Criteria for Award Programs Related to API Growth.
Note     •     History

(a) For purposes of this Article, “schools” shall be defined as all schools, including charter schools, that receive a ranking on the API including schools participating in the Immediate Intervention/Underperforming Schools Program. These schools are eligible to participate in the award programs identified in Section 1031. 
(b) For the purposes of these award programs, the API shall be the measure of accountability for all schools, except those that fall under the alternative accountability system, once such a system is adopted by the State Board of Education as required by Education Code section 52052(g). The Superintendent of Public Instruction will develop an alternative accountability system for schools with fewer than 100 valid test scores, schools that fall under the jurisdiction of a county board of education or a county superintendent of schools, community day schools, and alternative schools, including continuation high schools and independent study schools. 
Alternative schools may elect to be part of the API accountability system for the purposes of awards and interventions pursuant to the API. If the school elects to be part of the API accountability system, the school shall remain in the system for at least the three subsequent years. 
(c) For the purposes of these award programs, growth API means the API in the second year of two consecutive years for which the API is calculated. 
(d) In 2001 and subsequent years, a school's API shall be considered invalid under any of the following circumstances: 
(1) The local educational agency notifies the California Department of Education (department) that there were adult testing irregularities at the school affecting 5% or more of the pupils tested. 
(2) The local educational agency notifies the department that the API is not representative of the pupil population at the school. 
(3) The local educational agency notifies the department that the school has experienced a significant demographic change in pupil population between the base year and growth year, and that the API between years is not comparable. 
(4) The school's proportion of parental waivers compared to its Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR) enrollment, pursuant to Education Code section 60640 et seq., is equal to or greater than 15 percent for the 2000 STAR. For the 2001 STAR and each subsequent STAR, the school's proportion of parental waivers compared to its STAR enrollment is equal to or greater than 10 percent, except when the school's proportion of parental waivers compared to its STAR enrollment is equal to or greater than 10 percent but less than 20 percent. In this case, the department will conduct standard statistical tests to determine whether the pupils tested at the school represent the school's pupils by grade level. If the standard statistical tests demonstrate that the pupils tested represent the school's pupils, then the school's API shall be considered valid. If the standard statistical tests demonstrate that the pupils tested do not represent the school's pupils, then the school's API shall be considered invalid. There shall be no rounding in determining this minimum parental waiver proportion (i.e., 9.99 percent is not 10 percent).
(5) In any content area tested pursuant to Education Code sections 60642 and 60642.5 and included in the API, the school's proportion of the number of test-takers in that content area compared with the total number of test-takers is less than 85 percent. There shall be no rounding in determining the proportion of test-takers in each content area (i.e., 84.99 percent is not 85 percent).
(6) If, at any time, information is made available to or obtained by the department that would lead a reasonable person to conclude that one or more of the preceding circumstances occurred. If after reviewing the information, the department determines that further investigation is warranted, the department may conduct an investigation to determine if the integrity of the API has been jeopardized. 
The department may invalidate or withhold the school's API until such time that the department has satisfied itself that the integrity of the API has not been jeopardized.
(e) If a school's API is considered invalid pursuant to subdivisions (d)(1), (d)(2), (d)(4), or (d)(5), the school is ineligible for participation in any of the award programs for the current and subsequent year. If a school does not receive an API pursuant to subdivision (d)(3), the school is ineligible for participation in any of the award programs for the current year only.
(f) If fewer than 5% of the pupils tested are affected by adult testing irregularities, the school will receive a valid API, however, the school is not eligible for participation in any of the award programs for the current year.
(g) All schools that have an API score increase of at least 5% of the difference between the school's prior year score and 800 or an API score increase of five points, whichever is greater, and have comparable improvement as defined in subdivision (h), and meet the minimum participation rate in subdivision (i), shall be recognized through the Governor's Performance Award Program. 
(h) Comparable improvement for numerically significant ethnic or socioeconomically disadvantaged subgroups pursuant to Education Code section 52052(a) shall be defined as an API score increase of at least 80% of the school's API growth target as established pursuant to Education Code section 52052 except when the sum of a subgroup's growth target and the subgroup's API is greater or equal to 800. In these cases, comparable improvement shall be defined as the distance from the subgroup's API to 800. In no case shall comparable improvement be less than 4 points. 
(i) For elementary and middle schools, the minimum participation rate for the awards programs shall be 95 percent; for high schools, it shall be 90 percent, with the intention of increasing this rate to 95 percent in the future. 
(1) If the test publisher determines, for grades 2 to 11, that a pupil did attempt to take any content area tested pursuant to Education Code sections 60642 and 60642.5 and included in the API, the pupil shall be counted as a test-taker. 
(2) No pupil shall be counted more than once as a test-taker. 
(3) The participation rate shall be calculated as follows: 
(A) Divide the total number of test-takers in grades 2-11 at the school site by 
(B) The total enrollment in grades 2-11 minus the number of pupils exempted from taking the test either by their Individualized Education Program (IEP) pursuant to Education Code section 60640(e) or parental waivers pursuant to Education Code section 60615. 
(4) For purposes of subdivision (3)(B) above, enrollment shall be determined by the enrollment information collected by the department as part of the Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR), pursuant to Education Code sections 60640 et seq. 
(5) In the case of pupil testing irregularities, the scores of affected pupils shall be eliminated from the calculations of the school's growth API, although the pupils are counted as tested and shall contribute to the school's participation rate. 
(6) There shall be no rounding in determining this minimum participation rate (i.e., 94.9 percent does not equal 95 percent). 
(j) The department will publish on its web site a report of STAR testing and demographic data used in the calculation and reporting of the API. Prior to publishing the report on its web site, the department will announce the report in writing and/or by electronic communication to each local educational agency that appears in the API report. The local educational agency must notify the department and the test publisher via e-mail or in writing whether there are errors in the STAR testing or demographic data. The local education agency's notification must be received by the department and the test publisher within thirty (30) calendar days of the initial date of publication of the STAR testing and demographic data on the department's web-site. The local educational agency must submit all data corrections to the test publisher in writing or e-mail. The test publisher shall specify a deadline for submittal of the data corrections that is no less than forty-five (45) calendar days after the date of publication of the STAR testing and demographic data.
(k) The criteria for awards eligibility based on the 2001 growth API for a school that had its 2000 API invalidated solely because of excessive parental waivers pursuant to subdivision (d)(4) or for a school whose school district obtained a State Board of Education waiver of Section 1032(c) on their behalf will be (1) twice the school's 1999 growth target or 10 points, whichever is greater, and (2) comparable improvement for numerically significant ethnic or socioeconomically disadvantaged subgroups pursuant to Education Code section 52052(a), and the school has met all other 2001 eligibility criteria. Comparable improvement shall be defined as twice the 1999 subgroup target for each subgroup, except when the sum of a subgroup's 1999 growth target and the subgroup's 1999 API is greater than or equal to 800. In these cases, comparable improvement shall be defined as two times the distance from the subgroup's 1999 API to 800. In no case shall comparable improvement be less than 8 points. While being eligible for the Governor's Performance Awards, such a school would not be eligible for awards under the Certificated Staff Performance Incentive Act (Education Code sections 44650 et seq.).

§1035. Award Funding Criteria for Certificated Staff Performance Incentive Act.
Note     •     History

Distribution of Certificated Staff Performance Incentive Act awards pursuant to the 2000 growth API shall be as follows, with at least one thousand (1,000) $25,000 awards, three thousand seven hundred fifty (3,750) $10,000 awards and up to seven thousand five hundred (7,500) $5,000 awards being distributed in the process. The total amount of funding for this Act provided in the annual State Budget shall be distributed proportionally across each of elementary, middle, and high schools statewide by the number of certificated staff as reported in the most current CBEDS report. 
(a) Schools will be declared eligible or ineligible according to the rank of schools pursuant to Education Code section 52052. An “eligible list” will be determined for each type of school (elementary, middle, and high) for the awards distribution. 
(b) Beginning with the school on each of the three “eligible lists” with the greatest raw score API improvement over two times its annual target, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall apportion $25,000 per certificated school site staff FTE position to be distributed to the certificated school site staff in certificated positions at that school. The number of FTE positions counted shall be subtracted from the awards pool of 1,000 FTE positions. 
(c) Beginning with the school on each of the three “eligible lists” with the next greatest raw score API improvement over two times its annual target, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall apportion $25,000 per certificated school site staff FTE position to be distributed to the certificated school site staff at that school. The number of FTE positions counted shall be subtracted from the awards pool remainder. 
(d) This process shall continue until all 1,000 $25,000/FTE awards have been allocated to the eligible school sites. If, before all 1,000 awards have been allocated, an eligible school site has more eligible FTE positions than remain in the 1,000 FTE awards pool, all of that school site's FTE positions shall receive $25,000 awards. If more than one school site has an identical score in this circumstance, the school with the greatest improvement over it's API growth target in the prior year shall receive $25,000 awards. 
(e) Beginning with the school on each of the three “eligible lists” with the greatest raw score API improvement over two times its annual target that did not receive $25,000 rewards, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall apportion $10,000 per certificated school site staff FTE position to be distributed to the certificated school site staff at that school. The number of FTE positions counted shall be subtracted from the awards pool of 3,750 $10,000 awards. 
(f) Beginning with the school on each of the three “eligible lists” with the next greatest raw score API improvement over two times its annual target, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall apportion $10,000 per certificated school site staff FTE position to be distributed to the certificated school site staff at that school. The number of FTE positions counted shall be subtracted from the awards pool remainder. 
(g) This process shall continue in consecutive order until all 3,750 $10,000/FTE awards have been allocated to the school sites. If, before all 3,750 awards have been allocated, an eligible school site has more eligible FTE positions than remain in the 3,750 FTE pool, all of that school site's FTE positions shall receive $10,000 awards. If more than one school site has an identical score in this circumstance, the school with the greatest improvement over its API growth target in the prior year shall receive $10,000 awards. 
(h) The sum of the awards distributed under subdivisions (b) through (g) shall be subtracted from $100 million, and the remainder shall be divided by $5,000 to determine the maximum number of $5,000 awards to be distributed. The $5,000 awards shall be distributed in the same manner as the $25,000 and the $10,000 awards, with the exception that the distribution process will end when the pool of available $5,000 awards is not sufficient to fully fund the eligible FTE positions of the next school or schools in line for the awards.

§1039.1. Definition of the Dropout Rate for the Purpose of Inclusion in the API.
Note     •     History

(a) For the purpose of this article, the “Grade Eight Dropout Rate” and the “Grade Nine Dropout Rate” are one year rates equal to the number of dropouts divided by enrollment. 
(1) The Grade Eight Dropout Rate for the purpose of inclusion in the API is calculated for each school and local educational agency (LEA) with a grade eight enrollment greater than zero. The school Grade Nine Dropout Rate for the purpose of inclusion in the API is calculated for each school with grade nine as the highest grade offered at the school with a grade nine enrollment greater than zero. The LEA Grade Nine Dropout Rate for the purpose of inclusion in the API is calculated using dropout and enrollment information from only those schools in the LEA with grade nine as the highest grade offered at the school with a grade nine enrollment greater than zero.
(2) The number of dropouts in the school Grade Eight Dropout Rate is equal to the number of grade eight academic year dropouts. The number of dropouts in the school Grade Nine Dropout Rate is equal to the number of grade nine academic year dropouts.
(3) The number of dropouts in the LEA Grade Eight Dropout Rate is equal to the number of grade eight academic year dropouts plus the number of grade eight transition dropouts. The number of dropouts in the LEA Grade Nine Dropout Rate is equal to the number of grade nine academic year dropouts plus the number of grade nine transition dropouts.
(b) A “grade eight academic year dropout” means a pupil who enrolled in grade eight during the academic school year, left school prior to completing the academic school year, and was not enrolled at any school on the first Wednesday in October of the following academic year. A grade eight academic year dropout is attributed to the grade eight school and the LEA in which the pupil was last enrolled.
(c) A “grade eight transition dropout” means a pupil who was enrolled in grade eight at the end of the academic school year, and did not begin attending grade nine or any other grade in any school by the subsequent academic school year up to the first Wednesday in October of the following academic year. A grade eight transition dropout is attributed to the LEA in which the pupil completed grade eight.
(d) A “grade nine academic year dropout” means a pupil who enrolled in grade nine during the academic school year, left school prior to completing the academic school year, and was not enrolled at any school on the first Wednesday in October of the following academic year. A grade nine academic year dropout is attributed to the grade nine school in which the pupil was last enrolled.
(e) A “grade nine transition dropout” means a pupil who was enrolled in grade nine at the end of the academic school year, and did not begin attending grade ten or any other grade in any school by the subsequent academic school year up to the first Wednesday in October of the following academic year. A grade nine transition dropout is attributed to the LEA in which the pupil completed grade nine.
(f) A pupil is not a grade eight academic year dropout, grade eight transition dropout, grade nine academic year dropout, or grade nine transition dropout if he or she meets any of the following conditions by the first Wednesday in October of the academic year following his or her enrollment in grade eight for grade eight academic year dropouts and grade eight transition dropouts or enrollment in grade nine for grade nine academic year dropouts and grade nine transition dropouts: 
(1) The pupil transferred to and attended another public or private educational institution leading toward a high school diploma or its equivalent. This does not include adult education programs;
(2) The pupil received a high school diploma or its equivalent (General Educational Development [GED] exam, California High School Proficiency Examination [CHSPE], or adult education high school diploma program); 
(3) The pupil transferred to and attended a college offering a baccalaureate or an associate's program;
(4) The pupil moved out of California;
(5) The pupil has a temporary school-recognized absence due to suspension or illness; or
(6) The pupil died. 
(g) Enrollment for the purpose of calculating the Grade Eight Dropout Rate is equal to the number of grade eight academic year dropouts plus the number of prospective grade nine pupils. Prospective grade nine pupils include those pupils who have successfully completed grade eight by the end of the academic school year. Enrollment for the purpose of calculating the Grade Nine Dropout Rate is equal to the number of grade nine academic year dropouts plus the number of prospective grade ten pupils. Prospective grade ten pupils include those pupils who have successfully completed grade nine by the end of the academic school year.
(h) For the purposes of this article “academic year” begins July 1 and ends June 30.

Article 3.1. Individuals with Exceptional Needs
§3030. Eligibility Criteria.
Note     •     History

A pupil shall qualify as an individual with exceptional needs, pursuant to Section 56026 of the Education Code, if the results of the assessment as required by Section 56320 demonstrate that the degree of the pupil's impairment as described in Section 3030 (a through j) requires special education in one or more of the program options authorized by Section 56361 of the Education Code. The decision as to the whether or not the assessment results demonstrate that the degree of the pupil's impairment requires special education shall be made by the individualized education program team, including personnel in accordance with Section 56341(d) of the Education Code. The individualized education program team shall take into account all the relevant material which is available on the pupil. No single score or product of scores shall be used as the sole criterion for the decision of the individualized education program team as to the pupil's eligibility for special education. The specific processes and procedures for implementation of these criteria shall be developed by each Special Education Local Plan Area and be included in the local plan pursuant to Section 56220(a) of the Education Code.
(a) A pupil has a hearing impairment, whether permanent or fluctuating, which impairs the processing of linguistic information through hearing, even with amplification, and which adversely affects educational performance. Processing linguistic information includes speech and language reception and speech and language discrimination.
(b) A pupil has concomitant hearing and visual impairments, the combination of which causes severe communication, developmental, and educational problems.
(c) A pupil has a language or speech disorder as defined in Section 56333 of the Education Code, and it is determined that the pupil's disorder meets one or more of the following criteria:
(1) Articulation disorder.
(A) The pupil displays reduced intelligibility or an inability to use the speech mechanism which significantly interferes with communication and attracts adverse attention. Significant interference in communication occurs when the pupil's production of single or multiple speech sounds on a developmental scale of articulation competency is below that expected for his or her chronological age or developmental level, and which adversely affects educational performance.
(B) A pupil does not meet the criteria for an articulation disorder if the sole assessed disability is an abnormal swallowing pattern.
(2) Abnormal Voice. A pupil has an abnormal voice which is characterized by persistent, defective voice quality, pitch, or loudness.
(3) Fluency Disorders. A pupil has a fluency disorder when the flow of verbal expression including rate and rhythm adversely affects communication between the pupil and listener.
(4) Language Disorder. The pupil has an expressive or receptive language disorder when he or she meets one of the following criteria:
(A) The pupil scores at least 1.5 standard deviations below the mean, or below the 7th percentile, for his or her chronological age or developmental level on two or more standardized tests in one or more of the following areas of language development: morphology, syntax, semantics, or pragmatics. When standardized tests are considered to be invalid for the specific pupil, the expected language performance level shall be determined by alternative means as specified on the assessment plan, or
(B) The pupil scores at least 1.5 standard deviations below the mean or the score is below the 7th percentile for his or her chronological age or developmental level on one or more standardized tests in one of the areas listed in subsection (A) and displays inappropriate or inadequate usage of expressive or receptive language as measured by a representative spontaneous or elicited language sample of a minimum of fifty utterances. The language sample must be recorded or transcribed and analyzed, and the results included in the assessment report. If the pupil is unable to produce this sample, the language, speech, and hearing specialist shall document why a fifty utterance sample was not obtainable and the contexts in which attempts were made to elicit the sample. When standardized tests are considered to be invalid for the specific pupil, the expected language performance level shall be determined by alternative means as specified in the assessment plan.
(d) A pupil has a visual impairment which, even with correction, adversely affects a pupil's educational performance.
(e) A pupil has a severe orthopedic impairment which adversely affects the pupil's educational performance. Such orthopedic impairments include impairments caused by congenital anomaly, impairments caused by disease, and impairments from other causes.
(f) A pupil has limited strength, vitality or alertness, due to chronic or acute health problems, including but not limited to a heart condition, cancer, leukemia, rheumatic fever, chronic kidney disease, cystic fibrosis, severe asthma, epilepsy, lead poising, diabetes, tuberculosis and other communicable infectious diseases, and hematological disorders such as sickle cell anemia and hemophilia which adversely affects a pupil's educational performance. In accordance with Section 5626(e) of the Education Code, such physical disabilities shall not be temporary in nature as defined by Section 3001(v). 
(g) A pupil exhibits any combination of the following autistic-like behaviors, to include but not limited to:
(1) An inability to use oral language for appropriate communication.
(2) A history of extreme withdrawal or relating to people inappropriately and continued impairment in social interaction from infancy through early childhood.
(3) An obsession to maintain sameness.
(4) Extreme preoccupation with objects or inappropriate use of objects or both.
(5) Extreme resistance to controls.
(6) Displays peculiar motoric mannerisms and motility patterns.
(7) Self-stimulating, ritualistic behavior.
(h) A pupil has significantly below average general intellectual functioning existing concurrently with deficits in adaptive behavior and manifested during the developmental period, which adversely affect a pupil's educational performance.
(i) Because of a serious emotional disturbance, a pupil exhibits one or more of the following characteristics over a long period of time and to a marked degree, which adversely affect educational performance:
(1) An inability to learn which cannot be explained by intellectual, sensory, or health factors.
(2) An inability to build or maintain satisfactory interpersonal relationships with peers and teachers.
(3) Inappropriate types of behavior or feelings under normal circumstances exhibited in several situations.
(4) A general pervasive mood of unhappiness or depression.
(5) A tendency to develop physical symptoms or fears associated with personal or school problems.
(j) A pupil has a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes involved in understanding or in using language, spoken or written, which may manifest itself in an impaired ability to listen, think, speak, read, write, spell, or do mathematical calculations, and has a severe discrepancy between intellectual ability and achievement in one or more of the academic areas specified in Section 56337(a) of the Education Code. For the purpose of Section 3030(j):
(1) Basic psychological processes include attention, visual processing, auditory processing, sensory-motor skills, cognitive abilities including association, conceptualization and expression.
(2) Intellectual ability includes both acquired learning and learning potential and shall be determined by a systematic assessment of intellectual functioning.
(3) The level of achievement includes the pupil's level of competence in materials and subject matter explicitly taught in school and shall be measured by standardized achievement tests.
(4) The decision as to whether or not a severe discrepancy exists shall be made by the individualized education program team, including assessment personnel in accordance with Section 56341(d), which takes into account all relevant material which is available on the pupil. No single score or product of scores, test or procedure shall be used as the sole criterion for the decisions of the individualized education program team as to the pupil's eligibility for special education. In determining the existence of a severe discrepancy, the individualized education program team shall use the following procedures:
(A) When standardized tests are considered to be valid for a specific pupil, a severe discrepancy is demonstrated by: first, converting into common standard scores, using a mean of 100 and standard deviation of 15, the achievement test score and the ability test score to be compared; second, computing the difference between these common standard scores; and third, comparing this computed difference to the standard criterion which is the product of 1.5 multiplied by the standard deviation of the distribution of computed differences of students taking these achievement and ability tests. A computed difference which equals or exceeds this standard criterion, adjusted by one standard error of measurement, the adjustment not to exceed 4 common standard score points, indicates a severe discrepancy when such discrepancy is corroborated by other assessment data which may include other tests, scales, instruments, observations and work samples, as appropriate.
(B) When standardized tests are considered to be invalid for a specific pupil, the discrepancy shall be measured by alternative means as specified on the assessment plan.
(C) If the standardized tests do not reveal a severe discrepancy as defined in subparagraphs (A) or (B) above, the individualized education program team may find that a severe discrepancy does exist, provided that the team documents in a written report that the severe discrepancy between ability and achievement exists as a result of a disorder in one or more of the basic psychological processes. The report shall include a statement of the area, the degree, and the basis and method used in determining the discrepancy. The report shall contain information considered by the team which shall include, but not be limited to:
1. Data obtained from standardized assessment instruments;
2. Information provided by the parent;
3. Information provided by the pupil's present teacher;
4. Evidence of the pupil's performance in the regular and/or special education classroom obtained from observations, work samples, and group test scores;
5. Consideration of the pupil's age, particularly for young children; and
6. Any additional relevant information.
(5) The discrepancy shall not be primarily the result of limited school experience or poor school attendance.

§3043. Extended School Year.
Note     •     History

Extended school year services shall be provided for each individual with exceptional needs who has unique needs and requires special education and related services in excess of the regular academic year. Such individuals shall have handicaps which are likely to continue indefinitely or for a prolonged period, and interruption of the pupil's educational programming may cause regression, when coupled with limited recoupment capacity, rendering it impossible or unlikely that the pupil will attain the level of self-sufficiency and independence that would otherwise be expected in view of his or her handicapping condition. The lack of clear evidence of such factors may not be used to deny an individual an extended school year program if the individualized education program team determines the need for such a program and includes extended school year in the individualized education program pursuant to subsection (f).
(a) Extended year special education and related services shall be provided by a school district, special education local plan area, or county office offering programs during the regular academic year.

§3052. Designated Positive Behavioral Interventions.
Note     •     History

(a) General Provisions.
(1) An IEP team shall facilitate and supervise all assessment, intervention, and evaluation activities related to a individual's behavioral intervention plan. When the behavioral intervention plan is being developed, the IEP team shall be expanded to include the behavioral intervention case manager with documented training in behavior analysis including positive behavioral intervention(s), qualified personnel knowledgeable of the student's health needs, and others as described in Education Code Section 56341(c)(2). The behavioral intervention case manager is not intended to be a new staff person and may be an existing staff member trained in behavior analysis with an emphasis on positive behavioral interventions.
(2) Behavioral intervention plans shall only be implemented by, or be under the supervision of, staff with documented training in behavior analysis, including the use of positive behavioral interventions. Such interventions shall only be used to replace specified maladaptive behavior(s) with alternative acceptable behavior(s) and shall never be used solely to eliminate maladaptive behavior(s).
(3) Behavioral intervention plans shall be based upon a functional analysis assessment, shall be specified in the individualized education program, and shall be used only in a systematic manner in accordance with the provisions of this section.
(4) Behavioral emergency interventions shall not be used as a substitute for behavioral intervention plans.
(5) The elimination of any maladaptive behavior does not require the use of intrusive behavioral interventions that cause pain or trauma.
(6) To the extent possible, behavioral intervention plans shall be developed and implemented in a consistent manner appropriate to each of the individual's life settings.
(b) Functional Analysis Assessments. A functional analysis assessment must be conducted by, or be under the supervision of a person who has documented training in behavior analysis with an emphasis on positive behavioral interventions. A functional analysis assessment shall occur after the individualized education program team finds that instructional/behavioral approaches specified in the student's IEP have been ineffective. Nothing in this section shall preclude a parent or legal guardian from requesting a functional analysis assessment pursuant to the provisions of Education Code sections 56320 et seq.
Functional analysis assessment personnel shall gather information from three sources: direct observation, interviews with significant others, and review of available data such as assessment reports prepared by other professionals and other individual records. Prior to conducting the assessment, parent notice and consent shall be given and obtained pursuant to Education Code Section 56321.
(1) A functional analysis assessment procedure shall include all of the following:
(A) Systematic observation of the occurrence of the targeted behavior for an accurate definition and description of the frequency, duration, and intensity;
(B) Systematic observation of the immediate antecedent events associated with each instance of the display of the targeted inappropriate behavior;
(C) Systematic observation and analysis of the consequences following the display of the behavior to determine the function the behavior serves for the individual, i.e., to identify the specific environmental or physiological outcomes produced by the behavior. The communicative intent of the behavior is identified in terms of what the individual is either requesting or protesting through the display of the behavior;
(D) Ecological analysis of the settings in which the behavior occurs most frequently. Factors to consider should include the physical setting, the social setting, the activities and the nature of instruction, scheduling, the quality of communication between the individual and staff and other students, the degree of independence, the degree of participation, the amount and quality of social interaction, the degree of choice, and the variety of activities;
(E) Review of records for health and medical factors which may influence behaviors (e.g. medication levels, sleep cycles, health, diet); and
(F) Review of the history of the behavior to include the effectiveness of previously used behavioral interventions.
(2) Functional Analysis Assessment Reports. Following the assessment, a written report of the assessment results shall be prepared and a copy shall be provided to the parent. The report shall include all of the following:
(A) A description of the nature and severity of the targeted behavior(s) in objective and measurable terms;
(B) A description of the targeted behavior(s) that includes baseline data and an analysis of the antecedents and consequences that maintain the targeted behavior, and a functional analysis of the behavior across all appropriate settings in which it occurs;
(C) A description of the rate of alternative behaviors, their antecedents and consequences; and
(D) Recommendations for consideration by the IEP team which may include a proposed plan as specified in Section 3001(f).
(c) IEP Team Meeting. Upon completion of the functional analysis assessment, an IEP team meeting shall be held to review results and, if necessary, to develop a behavioral intervention plan, as defined in Article 1, Section 3001(f) of these regulations. The IEP team shall include the behavioral intervention case manager. The behavioral intervention plan shall become a part of the IEP and shall be written with sufficient detail so as to direct the implementation of the plan.
(d) Intervention. Based upon the results of the functional analysis assessment, positive programming for behavioral intervention may include the following:
(1) Altering the identified antecedent event to prevent the occurrence of the behavior (e.g., providing choice, changing the setting, offering variety and a meaningful curriculum, removing environmental pollutants such as excessive noise or crowding, establishing a predictable routine for the individual);
(2) Teaching the individual alternative behaviors that produce the same consequences as the inappropriate behavior (e.g., teaching the individual to make requests or protests using socially acceptable behaviors, teaching the individual to participate with alternative communication modes as a substitute for socially unacceptable attention-getting behaviors, providing the individual with activities that are physically stimulating as alternatives for stereotypic, self-stimulatory behaviors);
(3) Teaching the individual adaptive behaviors (e.g., choice-making, self-management, relaxation techniques, and general skill development) which ameliorate negative conditions that promote the display of inappropriate behaviors; and
(4) Manipulating the consequences for the display of targeted inappropriate behaviors and alternative, acceptable behaviors so that it is the alternative behaviors that more effectively produce desired outcomes (i.e., positively reinforcing alternative and other acceptable behaviors and ignoring or redirecting unacceptable behaviors).
(e) Acceptable Responses. When the targeted behavior(s) occurs, positive response options shall include, but are not limited to one or more of the following:
(1) the behavior is ignored, but not the individual;
(2) the individual is verbally or verbally and physically redirected to an activity;
(3) the individual is provided with feedback (e.g., “You are talking too loudly”);
(4) the message of the behavior is acknowledged (e.g., “You are having a hard time with your work”); or
(5) a brief, physical prompt is provided to interrupt or prevent aggression, self-abuse, or property destruction.
(f) Evaluation of the Behavioral Intervention Plan Effectiveness. Evaluation of the effectiveness of the behavioral intervention plan shall be determined through the following procedures:
(1) Baseline measure of the frequency, duration, and intensity of the targeted behavior, taken during the functional analysis assessment. Baseline data shall be taken across activities, settings, people, and times of the day. The baseline data shall be used as a standard against which to evaluate intervention effectiveness;
(2) Measures of the frequency, duration, and intensity of the targeted behavior shall be taken after the behavioral intervention plan is implemented at scheduled intervals determined by the IEP team. These measures shall also be taken across activities, settings, people, and times of the day, and may record the data in terms of time spent acting appropriately rather than time spent engaging in the inappropriate behavior;
(3) Documentation of program implementation as specified in the behavioral intervention plan (e.g., written instructional programs and data, descriptions of environmental changes); and
(4) Measures of program effectiveness will be reviewed by the teacher, the behavioral intervention case manager, parent or care provider, and others as appropriate at scheduled intervals determined by the IEP team. This review may be conducted in meetings, by telephone conference, or by other means, as agreed upon by the IEP team.
(5) If the IEP team determines that changes are necessary to increase program effectiveness, the teacher and behavioral intervention case manager shall conduct additional functional analysis assessments and, based on the outcomes, shall propose changes to the behavioral intervention plan.
(g) Modifications without IEP Team Meeting. Minor modifications to the behavioral intervention plan can be made by the behavioral intervention case manager and the parent or parent representative. If the case manager is unavailable, a qualified designee who meets the training requirements of subsection (a)(1) shall participate in such modifications. Each modification or change shall be addressed in the behavioral intervention plan provided that the parent, or parent representative, is notified of the need and is able to review the existing program evaluation data prior to implementing the modification or change. Parents shall be informed of their right to question any modification to the plan through the IEP procedures.
(h) Contingency Behavioral Intervention Plans. Nothing in this section is intended to preclude the IEP team from initially developing the behavioral intervention plan in sufficient detail to include schedules for altering specified procedures, or the frequency or duration of the procedures, without the necessity for reconvening the IEP team. Where the intervention is to be used in multiple settings, such as the classroom, home and job sites, those personnel responsible for implementation in the other sites must also be notified and consulted prior to the change.
(i) Emergency Interventions. Emergency interventions may only be used to control unpredictable, spontaneous behavior which poses clear and present danger of serious physical harm to the individual or others  and which cannot be immediately prevented by a response less restrictive than the temporary application of a technique used to contain the behavior.
(1) Emergency interventions shall not be used as a substitute for the systematic behavioral intervention plan that is designed to change, replace, modify, or eliminate a targeted behavior.
(2) Whenever a behavioral emergency occurs, only behavioral emergency interventions approved by the special education local planning area (SELPA) may be used.
(3) No emergency intervention shall be employed for longer than is necessary to contain the behavior. Any situation which requires prolonged use of an emergency intervention shall require staff to seek assistance of the school site administrator or law enforcement agency, as applicable to the situation.
(4) Emergency interventions may not include:
(A) Locked seclusion, unless it is in a facility otherwise licensed or permitted by state law to use a locked room;
(B) Employment of a device or material or objects which simultaneously immobilize all four extremities, except that techniques such as prone containment may be used as an emergency intervention by staff trained in such procedures; and
(C) An amount of force that exceeds that which is reasonable and necessary under the circumstances.
(5) To prevent emergency interventions from being used in lieu of planned, systematic behavioral interventions, the parent and residential care provider, if appropriate, shall be notified within one school day whenever an emergency intervention is used or serious property damage occurs. A “Behavioral Emergency Report” shall immediately be completed and maintained in the individual's file. The report shall include all of the following:
(A) The name and age of the individual;
(B) The setting and location of the incident;
(C) The name of the staff or other persons involved;
(D) A description of the incident and the emergency intervention used, and whether the individual is currently engaged in any systematic behavioral intervention plan; and
(E) Details of any injuries sustained by the individual or others, including staff, as a result of the incident.
(6) All “Behavioral Emergency Reports” shall immediately be forwarded to, and reviewed by, a designated responsible administrator.
(7) Anytime a “Behavioral Emergency Report” is written regarding  an individual who does not have a behavioral intervention plan, the designated responsible administrator shall, within two days, schedule an IEP team meeting to review the emergency report, to determine the necessity for a functional analysis assessment, and to determine the necessity for  an interim behavioral intervention plan. The IEP team shall document the reasons for not conducting an assessment and/or not developing an interim plan.
(8) Anytime a “Behavioral Emergency Report” is written regarding an individual who has a behavioral intervention plan, any incident involving a previously unseen serious behavior problem or where a previously designed intervention is not effective should be referred to the IEP team to review and determine if the incident constitutes a need to modify the plan.
(9) “Behavioral Emergency Report” data shall be collected by SELPAs which shall report annually the number of Behavioral Emergency Reports to the California Department of Education and the Advisory Committee on Special Education.
(j) SELPA Plan. The local plan of each SELPA shall include procedures governing the systematic use of behavioral interventions and emergency interventions. These procedures shall be part of the SELPA local plan.
(1) Upon adoption, these procedures shall be available to all staff members and parents whenever a behavioral intervention plan is proposed.
(2) At a minimum, the plan shall include:
(A) The qualifications and training of personnel to be designated as behavioral intervention case managers, which shall include training in behavior analysis with an emphasis on positive behavioral interventions, who will coordinate and assist in conducting the functional analysis assessments and the development of the behavioral intervention plans;
(B) The qualifications and training required of personnel who will participate in the implementation of the behavioral intervention plans; which shall include training in positive behavioral interventions;
(C) Special training that will be required for the use of emergency behavioral interventions and the types of interventions requiring such training; and
(D) Approved behavioral emergency procedures.
(k) Nonpublic School Policy. Nonpublic schools and agencies, serving individuals pursuant to Education Code Section 56365 et seq., shall develop policies consistent with those specified in subsection (i) of this section.
(l) Prohibitions. No public education agency, or nonpublic school or agency serving individuals pursuant to Education Code Section 56365 et seq., may authorize, order, consent to, or pay for any of the following interventions, or any other interventions similar to or like the following:
(1) Any intervention that is designed to, or likely to, cause physical pain;
(2) Releasing noxious, toxic or otherwise unpleasant sprays, mists, or substances in proximity to the individual's face;
(3) Any intervention which denies adequate sleep, food, water, shelter, bedding, physical comfort, or access to bathroom facilities;
(4) Any intervention which is designed to subject, used to subject, or likely to subject the individual to verbal abuse, ridicule or humiliation, or which can be expected to cause excessive emotional trauma;
(5) Restrictive interventions which employ a device or material or objects that simultaneously immobilize all four extremeties, including the procedure known as prone containment, except that prone containment or similar techniques may be used by trained personnel as a limited emergency intervention pursuant to subsection (i);
(6) Locked seclusion, except pursuant to subsection (i)(4)(A);
(7) Any intervention that precludes adequate supervision of the individual; and
(8) Any intervention which deprives the individual of one or more of his or her senses.
(m) Due Process Hearings. The provisions of this chapter related to functional analysis assessments and the development and implementation of behavioral intervention plans are subject to the due process hearing procedures specified in Education Code Section 56501 et seq. No hearing officer may order the implementation of a behavioral intervention that is otherwise prohibited by this section, by SELPA policy, or by any other applicable statute or regulation.

§3088.1. Sanctions: Withholding Funds to Enforce Special Education Compliance.
Note     •     History

(a) When a district, special education local plan area, or county office of education fails to comply substantially with a provision of law regarding special education and related services, the superintendent may withhold funds allocated to such local educational agency (LEA) under Chapter 7.2 (commencing with section 56836) of Part 30 of the Education Code and the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (20 U.S.C. 1400 et seq.). Such noncompliance may result from failure of the LEA to substantially comply with corrective action orders issued by the California Department of Education (CDE) in monitoring findings or complaint investigation reports. “Substantial noncompliance” means an incident of significant failure to provide a child with a disability with a free appropriate public education, an act which results in the loss of an educational opportunity to the child or interferes with the opportunity of the parents or guardians of the pupil to participate in the formulation of the individual education program, a history of chronic noncompliance in a particular area, or a systemic agency-wide problem of noncompliance.
(b) Prior to withholding funds, the CDE shall provide written notice to the LEA, by certified mail, of the noncompliance findings that are the basis of the CDE's intent to withhold funds. The notice shall also inform the LEA of the opportunity to request a hearing to contest the findings and the proposed withholding of funds.
(c) The notice shall include the following information:
(1) The specific past and existing noncompliance that is the basis of the withholding of funds.
(2) The efforts that have been made by the CDE to verify that all required corrective actions have been taken.
(3) The specific actions that must be taken by the LEA to bring it into compliance by an exact date to avoid the withholding of funds.
(d) The LEA shall have 30 calendar days from the date of the notice to make a written request for a hearing. The CDE shall schedule a hearing within 30 days of receipt of a request for hearing, and notify the LEA of the time and place for hearing. A hearing officer with experience in special education and with administrative hearing procedures shall be assigned by the CDE to conduct the hearing and make an audio recording of the proceeding. The hearing officer may grant continuances of the date for hearing for good cause.
(e) The LEA shall have the opportunity, prior to the hearing, to obtain all documentary evidence maintained by the CDE's Special Education Division that supports the findings of noncompliance at issue in the notice of intent to withhold funds.
(f) Technical rules of evidence shall not apply to the hearing, but relevant written evidence or oral testimony may be submitted, and given probative effect only if it is the kind of evidence upon which reasonable persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs. A decision of the hearing officer to withhold funding shall not be based solely on hearsay evidence but must be supported by evidence produced at the hearing showing substantial noncompliance with the provisions of special education law. LEA's may be represented by counsel and the hearings will be open to the public.
(g) If a hearing is not requested, the CDE shall withhold funds as stated in the notice. If a hearing is held, a written decision shall be rendered within 30 calendar days from the date the hearing is held.

Note     •     History

(a) The hearing officer shall determine, based on the totality of the evidence, whether a preponderance of the evidence supports the Department's findings of noncompliance and the determination that withholding of funds is appropriate in the particular circumstances of the case. The hearing officer's decision shall be the final decision of the Department of Education.
(b) If the Superintendent of Public Instruction determines, subsequent to withholding funds, that a local educational agency has made substantial progress toward compliance with the state law, federal law, or regulations governing the provision of special education and related services to individuals with exceptional needs, the superintendent may apportion the state or federal funds previously withheld to the local education agency.

Article 4. Special Funds to Assist Districts
§4320. Determination of Funding to Support Programs to Overcome the Linguistic Difficulties of English Learners.
Note     •     History

(a) School districts are required to provide services to English learners in all schools in accordance with Education Code Sections 300 et seq. and 62002. In order to meet this requirement, districts shall allocate adequate resources from local, state, and other funds. To assist in providing adequate resources, a portion of EIA funds may be used to provide services to schools which otherwise may not be eligible for SCE funds.
(b) School districts may determine the amount and level of resources to meet the excess cost requirements of Education Code Section 62002, and may use EIA funds for all or part of meeting those requirements. There are a variety of allocation patterns and levels which may be appropriate in local districts.
(c) Those determinations may be made in accordance with a standard to be established as outlined in subsection (d) below. The standard for the district will be described in the district's intradistrict allocation plan required by Education Code Sections 54004.3, 54004.5, and 54004.7.
(d) School districts may use a standard established by:
(1) Determining the number eligible educationally disadvantaged students in all schools eligible to receive state compensatory education funds.
(2) Determining the number of English learners who are not counted in subsection (1).
(3) Dividing the sum of subsection (1) and (2) into the total EIA allocation (after subtracting total district EIA indirect costs and EIA security, limited to not more than 10 percent of the total EIA grant).
(4) The resultant per pupil expenditure levels (as established in subsection (3)) will establish the appropriate minimum average per pupil level of funding to provide services to pupils of limited English proficiency in all schools in the district with such students in attendance.
(e) If a school district decides to provide EIA funding for services to English learners at a per pupil level either below or above the standard, the district must apply to the State Department of Education for approval of that per pupil level. In their intradistrict allocation plan, those districts must demonstrate that their per pupil level will fairly provide the necessary resources to meet the needs of all English learners. These districts shall have an affirmative responsibility to demonstrate that their intradistrict allocation system and allocations from other sources will meet the requirements of Education Code Section 62002.
(f) It is the intent of this article to encourage school districts to make an equitable distribution of EIA funds and ESEA, Title I, funds among all students receiving services; therefore, the allocation of EIA funds under this article will precede the allocation of SCE funds under Chapter 6 or Chapter 7 and precede the allocation of ESEA, Title I, funds. In addition, districts will not allocate SCE or ESEA, Title I, funds for English learners who are receiving, from this article, services of the same nature and scope as would otherwise be provided by SCE or ESEA, Title I, funds so that the total per pupil funding level exceeds the maximum established pursuant to Section 4416. It is assumed that the funds allocated under this article provide at least a portion of the services that would have been provided by SCE or ESEA, Title I.

Article 3. Designating Eligible and Participating Schools
§4410. General Standards for Determining School Eligibility.
Note

General standards for determining school eligibility are:
(a) A school district must determine, on an annual basis, for all schools in the district (e.g., kindergarten through grade twelve), which schools have high concentrations of pupils in need. SCE funds may be used only in such schools and in schools meeting one or more of the requirements of Sections 4411 and 4413.
(b) The school district shall use the following criteria for determining concentrations of pupils in need, giving equal weight to each criterion:
(1) The concentration of limited- and non-English-speaking students;
(2) The concentration of students from low-income families;
(3) The concentration of educationally disadvantaged students.
In calculating the concentrations of pupils in need at each school site, the district may, at its option, use either an unduplicated count of pupils in need or count a child more than once if he or she meets more than one criterion. Districts may use other factors, in addition to using criteria (1)-(3), to identify pupils in need. Districts proposing to use such other factors must demonstrate to the Superintendent of Public Instruction that the additional factors chosen by the district measure special needs of pupils which are not otherwise adequately measured by criteria (1)-(3).
(c) A school will be considered to have a high concentration of pupils in need if it meets one of the following criteria:
(1) On a numerical or percentage basis (or a combination of such bases), the concentration of pupils in need is as high or higher than the districtwide average. If a combination of the numerical and percentage bases is used, the number of schools considered eligible for assistance under this section may exceed the number of such schools that could be so designated if only one such method had been used.
(2) At least 25 percent of the students are limited- or non-English-speaking;
(3) At least 25 percent of the students are from low-income families;
(4) At least 50 percent of the students are educationally disadvantaged per Section 4414.

§4411. Selecting Participating Schools.
Note

A district may choose to operate compensatory education programs at all eligible schools if it is able to provide a program for each educationally disadvantaged child at those schools which meet the criterion established by the district for participation in such programs at a level of funding per pupil meeting the requirements of Article 5. If the available compensatory education funds are not sufficient to serve all educationally disadvantaged students who meet the district criterion for participation at every eligible school, the district must select schools for participation in rank order, from highest to lowest, according to the relative degree of concentration of pupils in need as determined under Section 4410.

The same measures of low-income, educational disadvantagement, and linguistic needs, which shall be chosen by the school district and which may be composites of several indicators, shall be used with respect to all such schools, both to identify eligible schools and, where applicable, to determine the ranking of each school. Acceptable types of data for student identification by category are as follows:
(a) LES/NES students. Measures of the concentrations of LES/NES students in each school site shall be made in accordance with the census required by Section 4304. The numbers determined through this census will be the data used in the intradistrict allocation plan.
(b) Students from low-income families. The 1970 census data on the number of children from low-income families; data on children in families receiving payments under the program of aid to families with dependent children under a state plan approved under Title IV of the Social Security Act and foster children; data concerning children eligible to receive benefits under the National School Lunch Act; and data on children residing in homes with low-assessed value for a single family residence are acceptable sources. A school district may select any of these data or a combination of such data to determine its count of students from low-income families. However, whatever data are used must be applied uniformly throughout the district and must be clearly identified in the intradistrict allocation plan.
(c) Educationally disadvantaged students. The number of educationally disadvantaged students will be established through the use of general standards for determining student eligibility as discussed in Section 4414 of these regulations. If a school district varies its procedures for such identification from those established to satisfy the requirements of Section 4414, such variation must be described clearly in the intradistrict allocation plan.

§4413. Exceptions to the General Rule for Designating Eligible and Participating Schools.
Note

(a) Designating Grade Spans. Among schools eligible for assistance under this article, a school district may elect to designate schools having specified grade spans as participating schools, irrespective of the relative incidence of pupils in need in other grade spans.
(b) Continuation of Participating School Designation. A school may be selected as a participating school under Section 4410 for a fiscal year even though it does not qualify under such subsection for that fiscal year if such school was eligible for and participated in the program in either of the two preceding fiscal years.
(c) Use of Title I Rules for Designating Schools. Notwithstanding Sections 4410 and 4411, a school district may choose to designate eligible and participating schools in accordance with 20 U.S.C. 2732.
(d) Expanding the Number of Participating Schools. Notwithstanding Sections 4410 and 4411, a school district may designate a school as participating if it:
(1) Satisfies the requirements of 20 U.S.C. 2752.
(2) Ensures that all children who satisfy the school district's criterion for participation in programs assisted under this article and attend schools designated as participating schools in accordance with Section 4410 participate in those schools' programs.
(3) Ensures that schools made eligible for assistance under this article will be served in rank order.

Article 4. Designating Students to Be Participants
§4414. General Standards for Determining Student Eligibility.
Note     •     History

(a) School districts must use SCE funds for educationally disadvantaged students attending participating schools as determined in accordance with Sections 4410-4413.
(b) For purposes of this article, the term “educationally disadvantaged students” means students who have need for special educational assistance in order that their level of educational attainment may be raised to that appropriate for students of their age. The term includes LES/NES students who are not proficient in English and students with a primary language other than English who are proficient in the English language and who are not functioning at the level appropriate for students of their age.
(c) In general, the needs assessment used to identify educationally disadvantaged students within eligible schools must be based on objective empirical evidence in the English language which indicates the students whose educational attainment in the basic instructional areas is below that appropriate for students of their age. It is presumed that the use of standardized, nationally normed tests meets the requirements of this subsection. The use of other objective measures, including validated criterion-referenced tests, diagnostic tests, and development scales, may be used if they provide a standardized means for determining the level of educational attainment appropriate to children of their age, and if such measures meet the following criteria:
(1) The cutoff point, score, or criterion for eligibility must have been determined by its empirical relationship to the educational attainment appropriate to the age of the student and may be identified by the fiftieth (or more stringent) percentile on a nationally normed test.
(2) Districts must have conducted an empirical study of the relationship between their means of identification and a nationally normed test, and demonstrate that students identified as eligible for participation in compensatory education programs by using the alternative procedure would have scored below grade level using a nationally normed standardized test.
It is not necessary that such a study be conducted with every group of students to be identified. Districts are encouraged to use a variety of valid, reliable indicators to provide the best possible information on student performance for purposes of identification of eligible students.

§4415. General Standards for Determining Students to Be Participants.
Note

(a) In the event that not all eligible students in those schools designated as participating schools can be participants, a school district must select a uniform objective criterion for purposes of determining which eligible students will participate in programs receiving funds from SCE and/or Title I as amended. The criterion selected must ensure that the students of greatest need are selected as participants.
(b) The total number of students receiving ESEA, Title I and SCE funds, as determined by district policy pursuant to this article, must not exceed the total number of students who score below the fiftieth percentile on a nationally normed achievement test unless the district is able to demonstrate that such a policy is appropriate.

§4420. General Standards.

(a) In general, except as provided in the next sentence, SCE funds must be distributed according to an objective criterion without taking into account the availability or existence of Title I funds and in accordance with subsections (b) through (g). The existence of Title I funds may be taken into account in allocating SCE funds so long as students satisfying the objective criteria for participation residing in Title I eligible areas receive, in the aggregate, the same amount of SCE funds as they would have received if Title I funds were not available.
(b) Students residing in Title I eligible areas who satisfy the objective criterion must receive assistance under SCE or Title I before any student who does not satisfy the objective criterion.
(c) School districts must ensure that the services provided to all educationally disadvantaged students in greatest need of assistance residing in Title I areas who receive assistance under SCE in lieu of Title I and who would have received assistance under Title I if SCE did not exist, are of the same nature and scope that would have been provided under Title I.
(d) School districts must also ensure that educationally disadvantaged students attending nonpublic schools will be selected for participation in Title I programs according to the Title I procedures for ranking school attendance areas without regard to an exemption to the Title I ranking procedure which allows programs for students residing in certain areas to receive SCE funds in lieu of Title I funds.
(e) Further, all schools which satisfy Section 4410 (pertaining to SCE school eligibility) must be served before any school which does not satisfy Section 4410.
(f) SCE funds must be allocated at a level per participant in Title I eligible areas which is consistent with Section 4416 and that is at least equal to the minimum level per participant used in non-Title I eligible areas.
(g) At a minimum, at least 50 percent of SCE funds must be spent in Title I eligible areas.
§4421. Allocation Models.
Note     •     History

(7) Rank schools eligible for SCE funds which are in Title I eligible areas according to section 4411.
(8) Allocate the portion of SCE funds which may be spent in non-Title I eligible areas (the amount remaining after subtracting SCE funds allocated to Title I eligible schools as determined in subdivision (6) to schools in the order established in subdivision (9). For each such school receiving an allocation (except for the last school to receive funds), the amount allocated must be sufficient to serve all students who meet the district criterion for participation.
(9) Allocate Title I funds to Title I eligible schools and students in accordance with Title I law and regulations.
(10) If Title I eligible schools are skipped for purposes of receiving Title I funds because their programs for educationally disadvantaged students are funded by SCE, these Title I eligible schools must receive the same nature and scope of service as those which would have otherwise been provided under Title I.
(11) If Title I eligible schools are skipped for purposes of receiving Title I funds because their programs for educationally disadvantaged students are funded by SCE, Title I services must be provided to qualifying nonpublic school students who reside within an area skipped such that the services provided are comparable to the services provided to public school students served by SCE funds. The total number of nonpublic school participants served by Title I must be determined without regard to the availability of SCE funds. Services to nonpublic school students shall be provided to eligible areas in Title I rank order.

(3) an LEA shall have on the list no more than 10 percent of its total number of schools that are not closed. However, when that total number of schools is not evenly divisible by 10, the 10 percent number of the LEA's schools shall be rounded up to the next whole number; and 
(4) to produce the final list of 1,000 schools, the SSPI shall apply the following process: 
(A) create a pool of schools by selecting all schools from the most current year's growth API file; 
(B) create an initial pool of eligible schools by excluding from the pool set forth in subdivision (a)(4)(A) all schools identified in subdivision (a)(2); 
(C) from the pool of eligible schools set forth in subdivision (a)(4)(B), select the list of 1,000 schools with the lowest API scores while maintaining the number of the elementary schools, middle schools, and high schools respectively, as set forth in subdivision (a)(1); 
(D) from the list of 1,000 schools identified in subdivision (a)(4)(C), retain only the schools with the lowest API scores from each LEA irrespective of whether it is an elementary school, middle school, or high school until the LEA reaches the 10 percent cap pursuant to subdivision (a)(3); 
(E) from the schools remaining in the eligible pool after the list of 1,000 schools as set forth in subdivision (a)(4)(C) was removed, retain only the schools that are part of LEAs that have not yet reached their 10 percent cap pursuant to subdivision (a)(3); 
(F) create the next pool of eligible schools by combining the schools retained in subdivision (a)(4)(D) with the schools retained in subdivision (a)(4)(E); and 
(G) repeat the procedures outlined in subdivisions (a)(4)(C) through (a)(4)(F) until such time as the number of schools as set forth in subdivision (a)(4)(D) is 1,000 schools with no LEA exceeding the 10 percent cap. 
(5) The final list of 1,000 Open Enrollment schools is achieved when the list contains 1,000 schools that meet the requirements for both the decile 1 ratio and the LEA “10 percent” cap.

§4802.1. Verification of Petition Signatures and Obligations of the LEA.
Note     •     History

(a) An LEA must provide, in writing, to any persons who request it, information as to how the LEA intends to implement section 4800.1(g) as to any subject school and any normally matriculating elementary or middle schools, including providing enrollment data and the number of signatures that would be required pursuant to section 4802.1(e). 
(b) Upon receipt of the petition, the LEA may make reasonable efforts to verify that the signatures on the petition can be counted consistent with these regulations. The LEA and matriculating LEAs shall use common verification documents that contain parent or guardian signatures to verify petition signatures such as emergency verification cards signed by all parents or guardians. In order to verify the enrollment of a pupil in a school that normally matriculates into the subject school, but is not within the jurisdiction of the LEA, an LEA may contact the school or the LEA of the school. The matriculating LEA or school shall provide information necessary to the subject school and LEA in order to assist in verifying signatures. An LEA shall not invalidate the signature of a parent or legal guardian of an eligible pupil on a minor technicality assuming the parent or legal guardian is entitled to sign it. The LEA and the matriculating LEA or school shall make a good faith effort to contact parents or guardians when a signature is not clearly identifiable including phone calls to the parent or guardian.
(c) If, on the date the petition is submitted, a school is identified pursuant to section 4800.1(k), it shall remain a subject school until final disposition of the petition by the LEA even if it thereafter ceases to meet the definition of a subject school, unless that school has exited federal Program Improvement and is at or over 800 on the Academic Performance Index.
(d) If a petition has sought only signatures of parents of pupils attending the subject school, then for purposes of calculating whether parents or legal guardians of at least one-half of pupils attending the subject school on the date the petition has been submitted have signed the petition, only those signatures of parents or legal guardians of pupils attending the subject school on the date the petition is submitted to the LEA shall be counted. 
(e) If a petition has sought signatures of parents or legal guardians of pupils attending the subject school and the elementary or middle schools that normally matriculate into the subject school, then for purposes of calculating whether the parents or legal guardians of at least one-half of pupils attending the subject school and the elementary or middle schools that normally matriculate into the subject school on the date the petition has been submitted have signed the petition, only those signatures of parents or legal guardians of pupils attending the subject school and the parents or legal guardians of pupils attending the elementary or middle schools who would normally matriculate into the subject school at the time the petition is submitted to the LEA shall be counted. Where pupils attend elementary or middle schools that normally matriculate into more than one subject school, only those pupils attending the subject school and those pupils that normally matriculate, as defined in section 4800.1(g), into the subject school, shall be counted in calculating whether the parents or legal guardians of at least one-half of pupils attending the subject school and the elementary or middle schools that normally matriculate into the subject school on the date the petition has been submitted have signed the petition. There is no specified ratio required of signatures gathered at each school, rather the total ratio of signatures gathered must meet the one-half requirement.
(f) In connection with the petition, the LEA may only contact parents or legal guardians to verify eligible signatures on the petition. The identified lead petitioners for the petition shall be consulted to assist in contacting parents or legal guardians when the LEA fails to reach a parent or legal guardian.
(g) Upon receipt, the LEA may, within 40 calendar days, return the petition to the person designated as the contact person or persons as specified in section 4802(c), if the LEA determines any of the following:
(1) One half of the parents or legal guardians of pupils meeting the requirements of section 4801(a) have not signed the petition;
(2) The school named in the petition is not a subject school; or
(3) The petition does not substantially meet the requirements specified in section 4802. In such a case, the LEA shall immediately provide the contact person written notice of its reasons for returning the petition and its supporting findings.
(h) If the LEA finds that sufficient signatures cannot be verified by the LEA it shall immediately notify the lead petitioner contacts and provide the lead petitioner the names of those parents and legal guardians it cannot verify. The lead petitioner contacts shall be provided 60 calendar days to assist the LEA to verify the signatures. A number of methods may be used, including, but not limited to, an official notarization process or having the parent or guardian appear at the school or district office.
(i) If the LEA finds a discrepancy or problem with a submitted petition it shall notify the lead petition contacts in writing and request assistance and clarification prior to the final disposition of the petition. The LEA shall identify which signatures need verification, any errors found in the petition, or any need for further clarification regarding the petition.
(j) If the petition is returned pursuant to section 4802.1(g)(1), the same petition may be resubmitted to the LEA with verified signatures as long as no substantive changes are made to the petition. The petitioners shall be provided one resubmission opportunity which must be completed within a window of 60 calendar days after the return of the petition pursuant to section 4802.1. This is the same window for verification of signatures and any corrections or additional signatures submitted pursuant to section 4802.1(h). The LEA shall have 25 calendar days to verify the resubmitted signatures, additional signatures or corrections to the petition. The resubmitted petition may not contain substantive changes or amendments. If substantive changes are made to the petition, it must be recirculated for signatures before it may be submitted to the LEA and it shall be deemed a new petition.
(k) If the LEA does not return the petition the LEA shall have 45 calendar days from the date the petition is received to reach a final disposition. The date may be extended by an additional 25 calendar days if the LEA and the person listed in section 4802(c) agree to the extension in writing. 
(l) The LEA shall notify the SSPI and the SBE in writing within fifteen calendar days of its receipt of a petition and within five calendar days of the final disposition of the petition. The notice of final disposition shall state that the LEA will implement the recommended option or include the written finding stating the reason it cannot implement the specific recommended option and designating which of the other options it will implement and stating that the alternative option selected has substantial promise of enabling the school to make adequate yearly progress. 
(m) If the number of schools identified in a petition and subject to an intervention by a final disposition will exceed the maximum of 75 schools pursuant to Education Code section 53302, and the SSPI and the SBE receive two or more notifications of final dispositions that agree to implement an intervention on the same day, the petition will be chosen by random selection.

§4802.2. Restart Requirements for Parent Empowerment Petitions.
Note     •     History

(a) Except where specifically designated in this section, a charter school proposal submitted through a parent empowerment petition shall be subject to all the provisions of law that apply to other charter schools.
(b) Parents or legal guardians of pupils will only need to sign the parent empowerment petition to indicate their support for and willingness to enroll their children in the requested charter school. A separate petition for the establishment of a charter school will not need to be signed. The signatures to establish a charter school pursuant to Education Code sections 47605(a)(1) through (3) and 47605(b)(3) will not be required if the petition that requests that the subject school be reopened under a charter operator, charter management organization or education management organization otherwise meets all the requirements of Education Code section 53300.
(c) A petition that requests that the subject school be reopened under a specific charter school operator, charter management organization or education management organization may be circulated for signature with the proposed charter for the school. Upon receipt of the petition that requests a restart model as the intervention and includes a proposed charter, the LEA must follow the provisions of section 4802.1 and implement the option requested by the parents, unless, in a regularly scheduled public hearing, the LEA makes a finding in writing stating the reason it cannot implement the specific recommended option and instead designates in writing which of the other options described in Education Code section 53300 it will implement. If a petition requests that the subject school be operated under a specific charter school operator, charter management organization or education management organization, and the LEA does not reject the petition pursuant to Section 4802.1(g), then the rigorous review process required by Education Code section 53300 and section 4804 shall be the review process and timelines set forth in Education Code section 47605(b), excepting 47605(b)(3).

Upon submittal of the charter proposal, the LEA shall conduct the rigorous review process required by Education Code section 53300 and section 4804, which shall be the review process and timelines set forth in Education Code section 47605(b) excepting 47605(b)(3). 
(2) If the petitioners inform the LEA that they have declined the option to solicit charter proposals and select a charter school operator, the LEA shall, within 20 calendar days, solicit charter proposals from charter school operators, charter management organizations and education management organizations. Thereafter, the LEA shall select a charter school operator, charter management organization or education management organization, through the rigorous review process required by Education Code section 53300 and section 4804. The rigorous review process shall be the review process and timelines set forth in Education Code section 47605(b), excepting 47605(b)(3), and shall begin at the end of a solicitation period not to exceed 90 calendar days. 
(e) If the parents petition for a restart option to operate the school under an educational management organization that is not a charter school, the LEA shall work in good faith to implement a contract with a provider selected by the parents. In the absence of parent selection of a specific provider, the LEA shall immediately solicit proposals from educational management organizations, and shall select an education management organization, through the rigorous review process required by Education Code section 53300 and section 4804 unless the LEA is unable to implement the option requested by the parents and shall implement one of the other options specified in Education Code section 53300.

1. Take into account data on student growth (as defined in the United States Department of Education notice published in the Federal Register at 74 Federal Register 59806 (Nov. 18, 2009)) as a significant factor as well as other factors such as multiple observation-based assessments of performance and ongoing collections of professional practice reflective of student achievement and increased high-school graduations rates; and
2. Are designed and developed with teacher and principal involvement.
(C) Identify and reward school leaders, teachers, and other staff who, in implementing this model, have increased student achievement and high school graduation rates and identify and remove those who, after ample opportunities have been provided for them to improve their professional practice, have not done so;
(D) Provide staff with ongoing, high-quality, job-embedded professional development (e.g., regarding subject-specific pedagogy, instruction that reflects a deeper understanding of the community served by the school, or differentiated instruction) that is aligned with the school's comprehensive instructional program and designed with school staff to ensure they are equipped to facilitate effective teaching and learning and have the capacity to successfully implement school reform strategies; and
(E) Implement such strategies as financial incentives, increased opportunities for promotion and career growth, and more flexible work conditions that are designed to recruit, place, and retain staff with the skills necessary to meet the needs of the students in a transformation school.
(2) Permissible activities. An LEA may also implement other strategies to develop teachers' and school leaders' effectiveness, such as:
(A) Providing additional compensation to attract and retain staff with the skills necessary to meet the needs of the students in a transformation school;
(B) Instituting a system for measuring changes in instructional practices resulting from professional development; or
(C) Ensuring that the school is not required to accept a teacher without the mutual consent of the teacher and principal, regardless of the teacher's seniority.

(B) Implementing a school wide “response-to-intervention” model;
(C) Providing additional supports and professional development to teachers and principals in order to implement effective strategies to support students with disabilities in the least restrictive environment and to ensure that limited-English-proficient students acquire language skills to master academic content;
(D) Using and integrating technology-based supports and interventions as part of the instructional program; and
(E) In secondary schools: 
1. Increasing rigor by offering opportunities for students to enroll in advanced coursework (such as Advanced Placement or International Baccalaureate; or science, technology, engineering, and mathematics courses, especially those that incorporate rigorous and relevant project-, inquiry-, or design-based contextual learning opportunities), early-college high schools, dual enrollment programs, or thematic learning academies that prepare students for college and careers, including by providing appropriate supports designed to ensure that low-achieving students can take advantage of these programs and coursework;
2. Improving student transition from middle to high school through summer transition programs or freshman academies;
3. Increasing graduation rates through, for example, credit-recovery programs, re-engagement strategies, smaller learning communities, competency-based instruction and performance-based assessments, and acceleration of basic reading and mathematics skills; or
4. Establishing early-warning systems to identify students who may be at risk of failing to achieve to high standards or graduate.
(c) Increasing learning time and creating community-oriented schools.
(1) Required activities. The LEA must:

(B) Extending or restructuring the school day so as to add time for such strategies as advisory periods that build relationships between students, faculty, and other school staff;
(C) Implementing approaches to improve school climate and discipline, such as implementing a system of positive behavioral supports or taking steps to eliminate bullying and student harassment; or
(D) Expanding the school program to offer full-day kindergarten or pre-kindergarten.
(d) Providing operational flexibility and sustained support.
(1) Required activities. The LEA must:
(A) Give the school sufficient operational flexibility (such as staffing, calendars/time, and budgeting) to implement fully a comprehensive approach to substantially improve student achievement outcomes and increase high school graduation rates; and
(B) Ensure that the school receives ongoing, intensive technical assistance and related support from the LEA, the State Educational Agency (SEA), or a designated external lead partner organization (such as a school turnaround organization or an EMO).
(2) Permissible activities. The LEA may also implement other strategies for providing operational flexibility and intensive support, such as:
(A) Allowing the school to be run under a new governance arrangement, such as a turnaround division within the LEA or SEA; or

(i) A statement of assurance from the local educational agency that the proposed materials are for use in kindergarten or any of grades 1 to 3, inclusive.
(j) A statement of assurance from the local educational agency that the proposed materials are based on the fundamental skills required by reading, including, but not limited to, systematic, explicit phonics and spelling, within the meaning of Education Code section 60200.4.
(k) A statement of assurance from the local educational agency that the proposed materials include, but are not necessarily limited to, phonemic awareness, systematic explicit phonics, and spelling patterns, accompanied by reading materials that provide practice in the lesson being taught, within the meaning of Education Code section 60352(d).
(l) Evidence that the local educational agency's governing board:
(1) Formally approved the authorization request at a properly noticed public meeting.
(2) Supports the use of the specified funds for the purpose expressed in the request.
(3) Verified that the local educational agency considered the California State Board of Education adopted materials for its core reading program and considered the reasons given by the California State Board of Education for not adopting the materials proposed for purchase, if those materials were submitted for adoption in 1996.
(4) Verified that the proposed materials comply with Education Code sections 60040, 60041, 60042, 60044, 60045, and 60046.

Article 2. Demonstration Grant Applications
§11843. Scoring Applications.
Note     •     History

(a) The score for each demonstration grant application is based on the proposal as a whole rather than the sum of its individual school part, district or consortium part, and collaborative compact part (description of the school's efforts to consult with key stakeholders such as the district, governing board, collective bargaining units, businesses, public institutions of higher education, public and private nonprofit social services and child development agencies, and other organizations as appropriate). 
(b) The application, submitted on behalf of any school, shall describe the vision guiding their restructuring effort and the actions the school and district or consortium propose to take to integrate the primary elements of restructuring. For purposes of this article, “vision” means what the applicant wants students to be able to know and do, and how the school needs to be structured and organized to accomplish this. The vision provides an overarching picture of what could be rather than what is, and it is the source from which the goals and action plan follow.
(c) The application shall describe, with a rationale:
(1) What will be done to restructure public education in the school and district;
(2) Why such action is important; and
(3) How the action plan will be carried out.
(d) Each application will be reviewed and scored as a whole entity on a four part scale, with four being the highest score. Specific criteria for scoring will be based on the degree to which the proposal as a whole demonstrates:
(1) an understanding of the goal and focal point of restructuring:
(A) a focus on learning and students;
(B) quality of analysis of the primary issues and problems the school faces regarding student performance; and
(C) understanding of the depth and quality of change needed to transform learning, teaching, curriculum, and assessment;
(2) an understanding of the critical elements of restructuring and how they work together to transform learning:
(A) an integrated and comprehensive vision which includes all of the restructuring elements in a manner which shows promise for materially improving the learning of all students and for engaging all students in a rigorous, meaningful learning experience;
(B) the required elements of a restructuring plan are:
1. an active, thinking-centered rather than skill-centered curriculum, involving multiple and diverse instructional strategies, and performance-based student assessment for ALL students, especially those at risk;
2. outcome-based accountability systems that include agreement on multiple and diverse, performance-based outcomes which drive the design of school structures and policies at every level of the system (district, school, department, classroom, individual, students, teachers);
3. professional collaboration, development and decision-making focused on learning and teaching, and involving all members of the school community;
4. organizational patterns and processes that encourage expanded involvement of parents, and greater inclusion and collaboration among the various stakeholders in the decision-making process (school staff members, parents, the business community, institutions of higher education, social service agencies, and others as appropriate to the particular school setting);
5. technology as a tool to enhance learning and instruction and to strengthen management of the school; and
6. ongoing, objective evaluation of:
a. individual student progress in learning and in social and emotional growth;
b. the effectiveness of actions taken to meet long-range goals; and
c. continuous feedback which uses evaluation results to reconsider and redesign the learning environment for greater success.
7. A restructuring demonstration proposal that includes grades 11 or 12 must include new and expanded opportunities for 11th and 12th grade students to attend classes in colleges and universities, enroll in specialized schools and programs, and to participate in internships or other field work with business, industry, schools, and community organizations.
8. A restructuring demonstration proposal that includes preschool programs and/or school-age parenting and infant development programs that have received separate, targeted funding for such programs must include an explanation of how these programs fit into the overall restructuring effort.
(3) a clear and convincing picture of the specific actions needed to move toward the vision:
(A) completeness and validity of the action plan;
(B) clear and convincing links between the vision and the particular strategies, structures, actions and activities to be undertaken;
(C) a detailed and specific action plan, particularly related to the timeline, budget, evaluation systems, professional development, and governance structure, depth and quality of the strategies, actions and activities; and
(4) an understanding of how to manage change, provide for growth and development, and sustain systems for continuously reevaluating and improving the learning and teaching environment evidenced by:
(A) a rational, sound approach to managing the change process;
(B) systems for continuous evaluation of progress toward long-range goals and of feedback to guide change efforts;
(C) potential for successfully carrying out fundamental change across several interrelated dimensions;
(D) actions, roles, responsibilities for stakeholders which are clearly described; and
(E) specific descriptions of the kinds and sources of support, leadership, staff development, and the conditions needed to maximize the chances of successful change.

§11844. Interviews.
Note     •     History

(a) Final selection will include an interview with panelists composed of the advisory committee representatives identified pursuant to Education Code section 58916 and other individuals representing a variety of roles (school and district and county level administrators, teachers, business persons and university faculty) who are knowledgeable about restructuring. The highest scoring schools in the categories described in Education Code section 58906(a) will be invited to participate in an oral interview to determine the level of communitywide support and schoolsite leadership for the proposed restructuring proposal.
(1) Communitywide support includes the specific resources, support, conditions or leadership to be provided by those whose participation is crucial to the restructuring effort, such as teachers, the school district, the governing board, certificated and classified bargaining units, parents, the non-parent public, business, community organizations, institutions of higher education, and others as appropriate.
(2) Schoolsite leadership includes evidence of collaborative decision-making and governance structures focused on learning and teaching; opportunities for expanded participation by parents in the change process; processes for building the capacity and knowledge of all members of the school site to enable them to develop and successfully carry out their restructuring vision and action plan; and a commitment of all the school's resources to the restructuring effort.
(b) The score of each oral interview is based on the interview as a whole rather than on the quality of answers to individual questions. The score will be based on a four part scale, with four being the highest score. Specific criteria for scoring will be based on:
(1) communitywide support as described in subsection 11844(a)(1);
(2) schoolsite leadership as described in subsection 11844(a)(2); and

Subchapter 19. Charter Schools
Article 1. Charter School Regular Average Daily Attendance
§11960. Regular Average Daily Attendance for Charter Schools.
Note     •     History

(a) As used in Education Code section 47612, “attendance” means the attendance of charter school pupils while engaged in educational activities required of them by their charter schools, on days when school is actually taught in their charter schools. “Regular average daily attendance” shall be computed by dividing a charter school's total number of pupil-days of attendance by the number of calendar days on which school was actually taught in the charter school.  For purposes of determining a charter school's total number of pupil-days of attendance, no pupil may generate more than one day of attendance in a calendar day.
(b) The State Superintendent of Public Instruction shall proportionately reduce the amount of funding that would otherwise have been apportioned to a charter school on the basis of average daily attendance for a fiscal year, if school was actually taught in the charter school on fewer than 175 calendar days during that fiscal year.
(c)(1) Beginning in 2004-05, a pupil who is over the age of 19 years may generate attendance for apportionment purposes in a charter school only if both of the following conditions are met:
(A) The pupil was enrolled in a public school in pursuit of a high school diploma (or, if a student in special education, an individualized education program (IEP)) while 19 years of age and, without a break in public school enrollment since that time, is enrolled in the charter school and is making satisfactory progress towards award of a high school diploma (or, if a student in special education, satisfactory progress in keeping with an IEP) consistent with the definition of satisfactory progress set forth in subdivision (h) of section 11965.
(B) The pupil is not over the age of 22 years.
(2) This subdivision shall not apply to a charter school program specified in Education Code section 47612.1. A charter school program as specified in Education Code section 47612.1 may be either:

Note     •     History

(a) In accordance with the definition of classroom-based instruction specified in Education Code section 47612.5(e)(1), and for purposes of identifying and reporting that portion of a charter school's average daily attendance that is generated through nonclassroom-based instruction pursuant to Education Code sections 47634.2(c) and 47612.5(e)(2), classroom-based instruction in a charter school occurs only when all four of the following conditions are met. 
(1) The charter school's pupils are engaged in educational activities required of those pupils, and the pupils are under the immediate supervision and control of an employee of the charter school who is authorized to provide instruction to the pupils within the meaning of Education Code section 47605(l). 
(2) At least 80 percent of the instructional time offered at the charter school is at the schoolsite. 
(3) The charter school's schoolsite is a facility that is used principally for classroom instruction. 
(4) The charter school requires its pupils to be in attendance at the schoolsite at least 80 percent of the minimum instructional time required pursuant to Education Code section 47612.5(a)(1). 
(b) The requirement to be “at the schoolsite” is satisfied if either of the following conditions is met. 
(1) The facility in which the pupils receive instruction is: 
(A) Owned, rented, or leased by the charter school principally for classroom instruction; 
(B) Provided to the charter school by a school district pursuant to Education Code section 47614 principally for classroom instruction; or 
(C) Provided to the charter school free-of-charge principally for classroom instruction pursuant to a written agreement. 
When not being used by the charter school for classroom instruction, the facility may be rented, leased, or allowed to be used for other purposes (e.g., for evening adult classes not offered by the charter school, local theater productions, or community meetings) and still be deemed to be principally for classroom instruction. 
(2) The charter school facility meets the criteria in paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) and the pupils are on a field trip during which the pupils remain under the immediate supervision and control of the employee of the charter school and are carrying out an educational activity required of the pupils. 
(c) The requirement to be “at the schoolsite” is not satisfied if the pupils are in a personal residence (i.e., a dwelling), even if space in the residence is set aside and dedicated to instructional purposes and/or the charter school rents or leases space in the residence for the provision of instruction. As used in this subdivision, a personal residence shall not include a facility that is licensed by a state or local government agency to operate as a facility in which pupils not related to the facility's owners are provided custodial care and supervision (e.g., a licensed children's institution or a boarding school). 
(d) The definitions in this section are solely for the purpose of determining if a charter school must submit a determination of funding request pursuant to Education Code section 47634.2.

§11963.4. Evaluation of Determination of Funding Requests Regarding Nonclassroom-Based Instruction.
Note     •     History

(a) When a complete determination of funding request is received from a charter school, it shall be reviewed by the California Department of Education and presented to the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools, along with credible information pertaining to the request obtained from any other source. The Advisory Commission shall develop a recommendation pursuant to this section to the State Board of Education regarding the request, and that recommendation shall be presented to the State Board of Education by the California Department of Education. The following criteria shall guide the process of reviewing and developing a recommendation on the request. The California Department of Education shall report any difference of opinion between the California Department of Education and the Advisory Commission as to the recommendation presented to the State Board of Education. 
(1) If the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 equals at least 35 percent but less than 40 percent, and the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 equals at least 60 percent but less than 70 percent, the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools shall recommend to the State Board of Education approval of the request at 70 percent, unless there is a reasonable basis to recommend otherwise. If the recommended percentage is lower than the requested percentage, the recommendation to the State Board shall include the reasons justifying the reduction and, if appropriate, describe how any deficiencies or problems may be addressed by the charter school. 
(2) If the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 equals or exceeds 40 percent, and the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 equals at least 70 percent but less than 80 percent, the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools shall recommend to the State Board of Education approval of the request at 85 percent, unless there is a reasonable basis to recommend otherwise. The recommendation to the State Board shall include the reasons justifying a percentage that is greater than 70 percent and, if the recommended percentage is lower than the requested percentage, the reasons justifying the reduction and, if appropriate, describe how any deficiencies or problems may be addressed by the charter school. 
(3) If the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 equals or exceeds 40 percent, the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 equals or exceeds 80 percent, and the ratio of average daily attendance for independent study pupils to full-time certificated employees responsible for independent study does not exceed a pupil-teacher ratio of 25:1 or the equivalent ratio of pupils to full-time certificated employees for all other educational programs operated by the largest unified school district, as measured by average daily attendance, in the county or counties in which the charter school operates, the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools shall recommend to the State Board of Education approval of the request at 100 percent (i.e. full funding), unless there is a reasonable basis to recommend otherwise. If the recommended percentage is lower than the requested percentage, the recommendation to the State Board shall include the reasons justifying the reduction and, if appropriate, describe how any deficiencies or problems may be addressed by the charter school. 
(4) If the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 is less than 35 percent, or the percentage calculated pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c) of section 11963.3 is less than 60 percent, then the charter school's nonclassroom-based instruction is not substantially dedicated to the instructional benefit of the students, and the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools shall recommend that the State Board of Education deny the request, unless there is a reasonable basis to recommend otherwise. The recommendation to the State Board shall include the reasons justifying the denial and, if appropriate, describe how any deficiencies or problems may be addressed by the charter school. Denial of a determination of funding request by the State Board of Education shall result in no funding being apportioned for average daily attendance identified by the charter school as being generated through nonclassroom-based instruction pursuant to Education Code section 47634.2(c). 
(5) Any request for a funding determination received prior to the effective date of these regulations will be reviewed pursuant to the criteria in effect at the time of submittal. 
(b) The Advisory Commission on Charter Schools and/or the California Department of Education may ask the charter school to provide additional information in order to make possible a more detailed review or to develop a reasonable basis for a recommendation other than those prescribed in subdivision (a). With the consent of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, the request for additional information shall be considered a reasonable inquiry to which the charter school must respond pursuant to Education Code section 47604.3. 
(c) Any multi-year funding determination approved by the State Board of Education may be modified by the State Board of Education, in terms of both the multi-year approval and the percentage of funding authorized, if any information that may change the conclusion to approve the original multi-year funding determination is found. 
(d) Prior to a recommendation by the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools (that a determination of funding request be denied or approved at a percentage lower than that requested) being forwarded to the State Board of Education, the affected charter school shall be given thirty (30) calendar days in which to amend its determination of funding request and/or to provide additional information in support of the request. Based upon consideration of the amended request or any additional information that may be provided, the Advisory Commission may modify its recommendation to the State Board. 
(e) A reasonable basis for the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools to make a recommendation other than one that results from the criteria specified in subdivision (a) may include, but not be limited to, the following: the information provided by the charter school pursuant to paragraphs (2) through (8), inclusive, of subdivision (b) of section 11963.3, documented data regarding individual circumstances of the charter school (e.g., one-time or unique or exceptional expenses for facilities, acquisition of a school bus, acquisition and installation of computer hardware not related to the instructional program, special education charges levied on the charter school by a local educational agency, restricted state, federal, or private grants of funds awarded to the charter school that cannot be expended for teacher salaries, or contracted instructional services other than those for special education), the size of the charter school, and how many years the charter school has been in operation. The Advisory Commission on Charter Schools shall give charter schools with less than a total of one hundred (100) units of prior year second period average daily attendance or that are in their first year of operation serious consideration of full funding.

§11963.5. Determination of Funding Requests for Nonclassroom-Based Virtual or On-Line Charter Schools.
Note     •     History

A virtual or on-line charter school is one in which at least 80 percent of teaching and student interaction occurs via the Internet. 
(a) A virtual or on-line nonclassroom-based charter school may receive approval of a funding determination with no maximum pupil-teacher ratio if the charter school has and maintains an 8 or above Academic Performance Index (API) rank in either its statewide or similar schools ranking and has no less than a 6 in the other of these two rankings. 
(b) In order to be funded pursuant to (a) above, a virtual or on-line charter school, must demonstrate that: 
(1) The school has met its overall and subgroup API growth targets. 
(2) Instructional expenditures are at least 85 percent of the overall school budget.

(a) An approved determination of funding for a new charter school in its first year of operation shall be submitted by December 1 and shall be for two fiscal years. Within 90 days after the end of its first fiscal year of operation, a charter school shall submit unaudited actual expense reports and a funding determination form based on the school's actual second-year budget. If the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools determines that the actual expenditures of the charter school or the second year funding determination form do not support the funding determination for the second year, the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools shall recommend that the State Board of Education revise the funding determination. 
(b) For the 2005-06 fiscal year only, a determination of funding request approved by the State Board of Education for any nonclassroom-based charter school that is not in its first year of operation shall be for the 2005-06 fiscal year and additionally a minimum of one year but a maximum of four years prospectively (for a total funding determination of not more than five years). 
(c) Any determination of funding request approved by the State Board of Education for an existing nonclassroom-based charter school from the 2006-07 fiscal year forward shall be prospective (not for the current year), in increments of a minimum of two years and a maximum of five years in length. Beginning with the 2007-08 fiscal year, nonclassroom-based charter schools that had a funding determination in the prior year must submit a funding determination request by February 1 of the fiscal year prior to the year the funding determination will be effective, when a new request is required under these regulations. 
(d) A determination of funding shall be subject to review each time a material change is made in the school's charter with respect to nonclassroom-based instruction, and may be subject to review each time the school's charter is renewed, and/or in accordance with any conditions the State Board of Education may impose at the time of the determination of funding request approval. A material change in the school's charter with respect to nonclassroom-based instruction is any significant change that affects the level of resources devoted to nonclassroom-based instruction, the courses to be offered through nonclassroom-based instruction, and/or the delivery of educational services to pupils receiving nonclassroom-based instruction. The charter school shall notify the California Department of Education no later than thirty (30) days after the material change is made. 
(e) A charter school may submit a request for funding determination up to one year prior to the fiscal year in which the request will initially be effective. The State Board may grant the request for up to five years following the effective date of the request. 
(f) Not more than 120 days following the receipt of a complete determination of funding request, the California Department of Education shall present the request and the recommendation of the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools to the State Board of Education in accordance with subdivision (a) of section 11963.4. 
(g) If, during the effective period of a determination of funding, a charter school wishes to seek a higher or lower determination of funding, it shall do so by the filing of a new determination of funding request.

(3) The period of time that the chartering authority has concluded is a reasonable period of time for the charter school to remedy or refute the identified violation(s). In identifying the time period that will serve as the charter school's reasonable opportunity to remedy the identified violation(s), the chartering authority shall consider the amount of time reasonably necessary to remedy each identified violation, which may include the charter school's estimation as to the anticipated remediation time.

The State Board of Education shall utilize the criteria set forth in Section 11967.5.1. in reviewing the elements of a charter petition submitted for its approval in accordance with the provisions of Education Code section 47605(b) and (j). The purpose of the criteria is to convey to charter petitioners the State Board of Education's understanding of the meaning of the elements specified in Education Code section 47605(b), or otherwise to convey essential information about the elements. The criteria are intended to require no charter provisions in excess of those that the State Board of Education believes necessary to determine whether each element specified in Education Code section 47605(b) has been satisfactorily addressed. Where the criteria call for judgments to be made, the judgments will be made in such a manner as to be reasonable, rational, and fair to the petitioners and other parties potentially affected by the chartering of the school by the State Board of Education.

§11967.5.1. Criteria for the Review and Approval of Charter School Petitions and Charter School Renewal Petitions by the State Board of Education (SBE).
Note     •     History

(a) For purposes of Education Code section 47605(b), a charter petition shall be “consistent with sound educational practice” if, in the SBE's judgment, it is likely to be of educational benefit to pupils who attend. A charter school need not be designed or intended to meet the educational needs of every student who might possibly seek to enroll in order for the charter to be granted by the SBE. 
(b) For purposes of Education Code section 47605(b)(1), a charter petition shall be “an unsound educational program” if it is any of the following: 
(1) A program that involves activities that the SBE determines would present the likelihood of physical, educational, or psychological harm to the affected pupils. 
(2) A program that the SBE determines not to be likely to be of educational benefit to the pupils who attend. 
(3) If the petition is for renewal of a charter school, and either the charter school has not met the standards for renewal pursuant to Education Code section 47607(b), as applicable, or the charter school has not met the measurable pupil outcomes as described in its charter.
(c) For purposes of Education Code section 47605(b)(2), the SBE shall take the following factors into consideration in determining whether charter petitioners are “demonstrably unlikely to successfully implement the program.” 
(1) If the petitioners have a past history of involvement in charter schools or other education agencies (public or private), the history is one that the SBE regards as unsuccessful, e.g., the petitioners have been associated with a charter school of which the charter has been revoked or a private school that has ceased operation for reasons within the petitioners' control. 
(2) The petitioners are unfamiliar in the SBE's judgment with the content of the petition or the requirements of law that would apply to the proposed charter school. 
(3) The petitioners have presented an unrealistic financial and operational plan for the proposed charter school. An unrealistic financial and operational plan is one to which any or all of the following applies: 
(A) In the area of administrative services, the charter or supporting documents do not adequately: 
1. Describe the structure for providing administrative services, including, at a minimum, personnel transactions, accounting and payroll that reflects an understanding of school business practices and expertise to carry out the necessary administrative services, or a reasonable plan and time line to develop and assemble such practices and expertise. 
2. For any contract services, describe criteria for the selection of a contractor or contractors that demonstrate necessary expertise and the procedure for selection of the contractor or contractors. 
(B) In the area of financial administration, the charter or supporting documents do not adequately: 
1. Include, at a minimum, the first-year operational budget, start-up costs, and cash flow, and financial projections for the first three years. 
2. Include in the operational budget reasonable estimates of all anticipated revenues and expenditures necessary to operate the school, including, but not limited to, special education, based, when possible, on historical data from schools or school districts of similar type, size, and location. 
3. Include budget notes that clearly describe assumptions on revenue estimates, including, but not limited to, the basis for average daily attendance estimates and staffing levels. 
4. Present a budget that in its totality appears viable and over a period of no less than two years of operations provides for the amassing of a reserve equivalent to that required by law for a school district of similar size to the proposed charter school. 
5. Demonstrate an understanding of the timing of the receipt of various revenues and their relative relationship to timing of expenditures that are within reasonable parameters, based, when possible, on historical data from schools or school districts of similar type, size, and location. 
(C) In the area of insurance, the charter and supporting documents do not adequately provide for the acquisition of and budgeting for general liability, workers compensations, and other necessary insurance of the type and in the amounts required for an enterprise of similar purpose and circumstance. 
(D) In the area of facilities, the charter and supporting documents do not adequately: 
1. Describe the types and potential location of facilities needed to operate the size and scope of educational program proposed in the charter. 
2. In the event a specific facility has not been secured, provide evidence of the type and projected cost of the facilities that may be available in the location of the proposed charter school. 
3. Reflect reasonable costs for the acquisition or leasing of facilities to house the charter school, taking into account the facilities the charter school may be allocated under the provisions of Education Code section 47614. 
(4) The petitioners personally lack the necessary background in the following areas critical to the charter school's success, and the petitioners do not have a plan to secure the services of individuals who have the necessary background in these areas: 
(A) Curriculum, instruction, and assessment. 
(B) Finance and business management. 
(d) For purposes of Education Code section 47605(b)(3), a charter petition that “does not contain the number of signatures required by subdivision (a)” of Education Code section 47605 shall be a petition that did not contain the requisite number of signatures at the time of the submission of the original charter to a school district governing board pursuant to Education Code section 47605(a). The SBE shall not disregard signatures that may be purported to have been withdrawn or to have been determined to be invalid after the petition was denied by the school district. The signature requirement set forth in Education Code section 47605(a) is not applicable to a petition for renewal.
(e) For purposes of Education Code section 47605(b)(4), a charter petition that “does not contain an affirmation of each of the conditions described in subdivision (d)” of Education Code section 47605 shall be a petition that fails to include a clear, unequivocal affirmation of each such condition, not a general statement of intention to comply. Neither the charter nor any of the supporting documents shall include any evidence that the charter will fail to comply with the conditions described in Education Code section 47605(d). 
(f) For purposes of Education Code section 47605(b)(5), the SBE shall take the following factors into consideration in determining whether a charter petition does not contain a “reasonably comprehensive” description of each of the specified elements. 
(1) The description of the educational program of the school, as required by Education Code section 47605(b)(5)(A), at a minimum:

(E) If not otherwise covered under subparagraphs (A), (B), (C), and (D): 
1. Provide for due process for all pupils and demonstrate an understanding of the rights of pupils with disabilities in regard to suspension and expulsion.

(1) Comply with all statutory requirements otherwise applicable to charter schools, except those relating to geographic and site limitations (See Education Code section 47605.8). 
(2) If applicable, comply with all requirements of law relative to the provision of independent study. 
(A) A charter that does not expressly provide for independent study shall not be interpreted as allowing independent study beyond that which is incidental and required to address the temporary needs of particular students. 
(B) If the independent study (nonclassroom-based instruction) exceeds the percentage specified in Education Code section 47612.5, it shall be funded only in keeping with a determination of funding approved pursuant to Education Code section 47634.2. 
(3) Describe how an annual independent audit of the statewide benefit charter school will be conducted in keeping with applicable statute and regulation and indicate how the statewide benefit charter school's individual schools will be appropriately included in the audit process. 
(4) Incorporate a plan that provides for initial commencement of instruction in at least two schools, which shall be in at least two different school districts or two different counties. The plan for instruction shall describe how the instructional services will provide a statewide benefit, as specified in section 11967.6(b) that cannot be provided by a charter school operating in only one school district, or only in one county. Existing charter schools previously approved by a charter authorizer may not be included in a petition to establish a statewide benefit charter school. 
(5) Include an assurance that the instructional services for similar student populations described in the charter will be essentially similar at each school and, thus, that each pupil's educational experience will be reasonably the same with regard to instructional methods, instructional materials, staffing configuration, personnel requirements, course offerings, and class schedules. 
(6) Describe how the statewide benefit charter school will participate as a member of a special education local plan area, and ensure a coordinated structure for the provision of necessary programs and services specific to students with individualized education programs (IEPs). 
(7) Demonstrate success in operating charter schools previously approved in California as evidenced by improved pupil academic performance and annual financial audits with no audit findings or exceptions. Data that shall be considered in determining the likelihood of a charter operator to successfully operate a statewide benefit charter school include, but are not limited to, a statewide or similar schools ranking of 8 or higher on the Academic Performance Index, evidence of having met growth targets over time, and other alternative indicators of success as defined in the alternative accountability system pursuant to subdivision (h) of Education Code section 52052. 
(8) Describe how local community input for each school included in the plan was solicited (or will be solicited). Satisfaction of this paragraph shall involve the holding of at least one publicly noticed meeting for each school, with a summary of the input received at the meeting(s) being provided to the State Board of Education (SBE). 
(9) Contain sufficient signatures either of parents, guardians, or of teachers in keeping with Education Code section 47605(a)(1) for each school proposed in the first year. 
(10) Address all charter elements specified in Education Code section 47605 adapted appropriately for application at the statewide level. 
(11) Contain or address any provisions or conditions specified by the SBE at the time of charter approval. 
(12) Contain a plan for operations of the statewide benefit charter school that describes the distinction between centralized and individual school level responsibilities and includes a staffing plan to implement the activities at the designated level. This plan shall be a part of the petition as initially approved by the SBE. If amendments to the plan are proposed, these amendments must be submitted to the SBE for approval. The plan shall address statewide benefit charter school operations including, but not limited to: 
(A) Academic program, 
(B) Facilities and school operations, 
(C) Legal and programmatic compliance, 
(D) Financial administration, 
(E) Governance, and 
(F) Decision-making authority. 
(13) Provide a list that includes each school the statewide benefit charter school proposes to operate. This list shall be a part of the petition as initially approved by the SBE. This list shall include: 
(A) A timeline for the commencement of instruction at each school. Commencement of instruction must begin during the term of the charter. 
(B) The general location of each school and the school district and county in which each school is to be located. 
(C) A description of the potential facilities to be used at each school. 
(D) The approximate number of pupils that can safely be accommodated by each school facility. 
(b) “Instructional services of a statewide benefit”, as referenced in Education Code section 47605.8(b), shall include, but not be limited to, the following factors: 
(1) Unique factors and circumstances related to the statewide benefit charter school's educational program that can only be accomplished as a statewide benefit charter and not as a single district- or single county-authorized charter, including specific benefits to each of the following: 
(A) The pupils who would attend the statewide benefit charter school, 
(B) The communities (including the school districts and the counties) in which the individual schools would be located (e.g., in terms of pupil demographics and performance), 
(C) The state, to the extent applicable, and 
(D) The statewide benefit charter school itself (e.g., in fund raising, community partnerships, or relationships with institutions of higher education). 
(2) Neither an administrative benefit to a charter operator, nor a desire by a charter operator to provide services in more than one district and county, shall be considered sufficient in and of itself to constitute a statewide benefit. 
(c) A statewide benefit charter school, regardless of the number of individual schools, is treated as a school district for all purposes, including but not limited to, compliance monitoring, data reporting and collection, student performance data, oversight, and apportionments. For purposes of compliance monitoring and oversight, the SBE, in its review, will look at each individual school's independent progress in meeting federal and state growth targets. 
(d) Following its submission, a petition to establish a statewide benefit charter school may be modified or new schools added that were not included in the original petition only with the approval of the SBE. 
(e) Each statewide benefit charter school shall provide an annual report to the SBE reflecting student achievement data, performance benchmarks, and other pertinent data supporting stated charter goals.

The county office may charge the statewide benefit charter school for the actual cost of services. 
(2) In designating a county office of education, the State Board shall give preference to the county office of education of the county that the statewide benefit charter school identifies as the principal location of its business records. 
(3) If the county office of education in the county that the statewide benefit charter school identifies as the principal location of its business records declines to accept the responsibility for the statewide benefit charter school, the State Board of Education may designate another county office of education by mutual agreement.

§11968.5. Revocation of, or Other Action Related to, a Charter by the State Board of Education upon Recommendation by the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) Pursuant to Education Code Section 47604.5(c).
Note     •     History

(a) The California Department of Education (CDE) on or before November 1 of each year shall identify and notify the State Board of Education (SBE) of each charter school that meets the conditions specified in subdivision (e) and any other charter school that the SSPI determines warrants action pursuant to Education Code section 47604.5(c). 
(b) On or before November 1 of each year, the CDE shall notify the charter schools identified pursuant to subdivision (e) of these regulations and each school's authorizer in writing that: 
(1) the SSPI may recommend, among other actions, revocation of the school's charter; and 
(2) the SBE will consider the SSPI's recommendation and take appropriate action, including, but not limited to, revocation of the school's charter. 
(c) The notice provided pursuant to subdivision (b) of these regulations shall provide that the charter school and the authorizer shall be given an opportunity to provide information in writing to the SSPI and the SBE as to why the school's charter should not be revoked. Such information may include, but is not limited to, action by the school or the local authorizer to address the departures such as the initiation of a plan of corrective action or other local authorizer board action. 
(d) Any action to revoke a charter school shall be effective at the end of the fiscal year in which the action is taken, to allow sufficient time for transition in accordance with school closure regulations in section 11962 of these regulations, unless the SBE identifies cause for immediate revocation and closure and makes a public finding that the departures at the school are so significant as to require the immediate revocation and closure of the charter school. At the beginning of the revocation review, the CDE shall require any school being reviewed to immediately provide, at their own expense, written notification to every parent, guardian, or caregiver that fully describes the revocation process, all options including specific schools available to students to transfer if it is needed or desired, and any administrative assistance required for a timely transfer. 
(e) Substantial and sustained departure from measurably successful practices that jeopardize the educational development of a school's pupils within the meaning of subdivision (c) of Education Code section 47604.5 occurs when a charter school: 
(1) is in operation five years or more, and 
(2) the charter school has not qualified for the Alternative School Accountability Model pursuant to subdivision (h) of Education Code section 52052, and 
(3) The charter school has met each of the following: 
(A) a statewide rank of 1 on API base data for the last two years, and 
(B) did not achieve a cumulative API growth of at least 50 points over the last three API cycles (i.e., an API cycle represents the difference between a current year growth API and the prior year's base API). 
(4) These criteria do not limit the discretion of the SSPI and SBE to recommend or take action relating to a charter school that does not meet these criteria, but which otherwise demonstrates a substantial and sustained departure from measurably successful practices that jeopardize the educational development of a school's pupils within the meaning of subdivision (c) of Education Code section 47604.5. 
(f) Nothing in this section shall be interpreted to relieve the chartering authority of its duties as a charter authorizer. 
(g) After the CDE determines the conditions in subdivision (e) exist for any charter school, and makes notifications in accordance with subdivisions (b) and (c), the following shall occur: 
(1) If the charter school or the authorizer choose to submit any supporting materials, the materials shall be received by the CDE by 5:00 p.m. on December 1. 
(2) The SSPI shall deliver his/her recommendation to the executive director of the SBE no later than January 15. 
(3) No later than February 1, the CDE shall send notification to the charter school and its authorizer of the SSPI's recommendation and the date of the SBE meeting when the recommendation is scheduled to be heard. 
(4) The SBE shall hold a public hearing and consider action in accordance with Education Code section 47604.5 no later than March 31. 
(h) The authority of the SBE pursuant to Education Code section 47604.5 is not limited to revocation. Based on additional information provided by the charter school, the school's authorizer, or teachers and parents of pupils at the school, which may include data on more recent academic gains, similar schools rankings and other analysis of similar student populations, and school safety, the SBE may offer the charter school an opportunity to take specific corrective actions in lieu of revocation for the remaining term of the charter. The specific corrective actions shall address the sustained low academic achievement and may include, but is not limited to, a plan to address any subgroups failing to make academic progress. Corrective actions may include, but are not limited to, restructuring of the school's staffing or governance to ensure that the school and all numerically significant subgroups have substantial promise of increasing academic performance in subsequent years.

§11969.2. Definitions.
Note     •     History

(a) Average Daily Classroom Attendance. As used in Education Code section 47614(b), “average daily classroom attendance,” or “classroom ADA,” is average daily attendance (ADA) for classroom-based apportionments as used in Education Code section 47612.5. “In-district classroom ADA” is classroom ADA attributable to in-district students. Nothing in this article shall prohibit a school district from allowing a charter school to include nonclassroom-based ADA in average daily classroom attendance, but only: 
(1) to the extent of the instructional time that the students generating the nonclassroom-based ADA are actually in the classroom under the direct supervision and control of an employee of the charter school; and 
(2) if the school district and charter school agree upon the time(s) that facilities devoted to students generating nonclassroom-based ADA will be used. 
(b) Operating in the School District. As used in Education Code section 47614(b), a charter school is “operating in the school district” if the charter school meets the requirements of Education Code section 47614(b)(5) regardless of whether the school district is or is proposed to be the authorizing entity for the charter school and whether the charter school has a facility inside the school district's boundaries. 
(c) In-district Students. As used in Education Code section 47614(b), a student attending a charter school is an “in-district student” of a school district if he or she is entitled to attend the schools of the school district and could attend a school district-operated school, except that a student eligible to attend the schools of the school district based on interdistrict attendance pursuant to Education Code section 46600-46611 or based on parental employment pursuant to Education Code section 48204(b) shall be considered a student of the school district where he or she resides. 
(d) Contiguous. As used in Education Code section 47614(b), facilities are “contiguous” if they are contained on the school site or immediately adjacent to the school site. If the in-district average daily classroom attendance of the charter school cannot be accommodated on any single school district school site, contiguous facilities also includes facilities located at more than one site, provided that the school district shall minimize the number of sites assigned and shall consider student safety. In evaluating and accommodating a charter school's request for facilities pursuant to Education Code section 47614, the charter school's in-district students must be given the same consideration as students in the district-run schools, subject to the requirement that the facilities provided to the charter school must be contiguous. If a school district's preliminary proposal or final notification presented pursuant to subdivisions (f) or (h) of section 11969.9 does not accommodate a charter school at a single school site, the district's governing board must first make a finding that the charter school could not be accommodated at a single site and adopt a written statement of reasons explaining the finding. 
(e) Furnished and Equipped. As used in Education Code section 47614(b), a facility is “furnished and equipped” if it includes reasonably equivalent furnishings necessary to conduct classroom instruction and to provide for student services that directly support classroom instruction as found in the comparison group schools established under section 11969.3(a), and if it has equipment that is reasonably equivalent to that in the comparison group schools. “Equipment” means property that does not lose its identity when removed from its location and is not changed materially or consumed immediately (e.g., within one year) by use. Equipment has relatively permanent value, and its purchase increases the total value of a Local Educational Agency's (LEA's) physical properties. Examples include furniture, vehicles, machinery, motion picture film, videotape, furnishings that are not an integral part of the building or building system, and certain intangible assets, such as major software programs. Furnishings and equipment acquired for a school site with non-district resources are excluded when determining reasonable equivalence. 
(f) General Fund. As used in Education Code section 47614(b)(1), “general fund” means the main operating fund of the LEA. It is used to account for all activities except those that are required to be accounted for in another fund. In keeping with the minimum number of funds principle, all of an LEA's activities are reported in the general fund unless there is a compelling reason to account for an activity in another fund. An LEA may have only one general fund. 
(g) Unrestricted Revenues. As used in Education Code section 47614(b)(1), “unrestricted revenues” are those funds whose uses are not subject to specific constraints and that may be used for any purposes not prohibited by law. Restricted revenues are those funds received from external sources that are legally restricted or that are restricted by the donor to specific purposes. Programs funded by a combination of restricted and unrestricted sources will be accounted for and reported as restricted. Funds or activities that are not restricted or designated by the donor, but rather by the LEA's governing board, will be accounted for and reported as unrestricted. 
(h) Facilities Costs. As used in Education Code section 47614(b)(1), “facilities costs” are those activities concerned with keeping the physical plant open, comfortable, and safe for use and keeping the grounds, buildings, and equipment in working condition and a satisfactory state of repair. These include the activities of maintaining safety in buildings, on the grounds, and in the vicinity of schools. This includes plant maintenance and operations, facilities acquisition and construction, and facilities rents and leases.

§11969.3. Conditions Reasonably Equivalent.
Note     •     History

The following provisions shall be used to determine whether facilities provided to a charter school are sufficient to accommodate charter school students in conditions reasonably equivalent to those in which the students would be accommodated if they were attending public schools of the school district providing facilities, as required by Education Code section 47614(b). 
(a) Comparison Group. 
(1) The standard for determining whether facilities are sufficient to accommodate charter school students in conditions reasonably equivalent to those in which the students would be accommodated if they were attending public schools of the school district providing facilities shall be a comparison group of district-operated schools with similar grade levels. If none of the district-operated schools has grade levels similar to the charter school, then a contiguous facility within the meaning of subdivision (d) of section 11969.2 shall be an existing facility that is most consistent with the needs of students in the grade levels served at the charter school. The district is not obligated to pay for the modification of an existing school site to accommodate the charter school's grade level configuration. 
(2) The comparison group shall be the school district-operated schools with similar grade levels that serve students living in the high school attendance area, as defined in Education Code section 17070.15(b), in which the largest number of students of the charter school reside. The number of charter school students residing in a high school attendance area shall be determined using in-district classroom ADA projected for the fiscal year for which facilities are requested. 
(3) For school districts whose students do not attend high school based on attendance areas, the comparison group shall be three schools in the school district with similar grade levels that the largest number of students of the charter school would otherwise attend. For school districts with fewer than three schools with similar grade levels, the comparison group shall be all schools in the school district with similar grade levels. 
(4) Although the district is not obligated to pay for the modification of an existing school site to accommodate the charter school's grade level configuration, nothing in this article shall preclude the district from entering into an agreement with the charter school to modify an existing school site, with the costs of the modifications being paid exclusively by the charter school or by the school district, or paid jointly by the district and the charter school. 
(b) Capacity. 
(1) Facilities made available by a school district to a charter school shall be provided in the same ratio of teaching stations (classrooms) to ADA as those provided to students in the school district attending comparison group schools. School district ADA shall be determined using projections for the fiscal year and grade levels for which facilities are requested. Charter school ADA shall be determined using in-district classroom ADA projected for the fiscal year and grade levels for which facilities are requested. The number of teaching stations (classrooms) shall be determined using the classroom inventory prepared pursuant to California Code of Regulations, title 2, section 1859.31, adjusted to exclude classrooms identified as interim housing. “Interim housing” means the rental or lease of classrooms used to house pupils temporarily displaced as a result of the modernization of classroom facilities, as defined in California Code of Regulations, title 2, section 1859.2, and classrooms used as emergency housing for schools vacated due to structural deficiencies or natural disasters.
(2) If the school district includes specialized classroom space, such as science laboratories, in its classroom inventory, the space allocation provided pursuant to paragraph (1) of subdivision (b) shall include a share of the specialized classroom space and/or a provision for access to reasonably equivalent specialized classroom space. The amount of specialized classroom space allocated and/or the access to specialized classroom space provided shall be determined based on three factors:
(A) the grade levels of the charter school's in-district students;
(B) the charter school's total in-district classroom ADA; and
(C) the per-student amount of specialized classroom space in the comparison group schools. 
(3) The school district shall allocate and/or provide access to non-teaching station space commensurate with the in-district classroom ADA of the charter school and the per-student amount of non-teaching station space in the comparison group schools. Non-teaching station space is all of the space that is not identified as teaching station space or specialized classroom space and includes, but is not limited to, administrative space, kitchen, multi-purpose room, and play area space. If necessary to implement this paragraph, the district shall negotiate in good faith with the charter school to establish time allocations and schedules so that educational programs of the charter school and school district are least disrupted. 
(c) Condition. 
(1) All of the factors listed below shall be used by the school district and charter school to determine whether the condition of facilities provided to a charter school is reasonably equivalent to the condition of comparison group schools. Condition is determined by assessing such factors as age (from latest modernization), quality of materials, and state of maintenance. 
(A) School site size. 
(B) The condition of interior and exterior surfaces. 
(C) The condition of mechanical, plumbing, electrical, and fire alarm systems, including conformity to applicable codes. 
(D) The availability and condition of technology infrastructure. 
(E) The condition of the facility as a safe learning environment including, but not limited to, the suitability of lighting, noise mitigation, and size for intended use. 
(F) The condition of the facility's furnishings and equipment.
(G) The condition of athletic fields and/or play area space. 
(2) Notwithstanding paragraph (1) of subdivision (c), at a charter school established at an existing public school site pursuant to Education Code sections 47605(a)(2), 52055.5, 52055.55, or 52055.650, the condition of the facility previously used by the school district at the site shall be considered to be reasonably equivalent to the condition of school district facilities for the first year the charter school uses the facility. During its first year of operation, the charter school shall be subject to charges for pro rata costs pursuant to section 11969.7, but shall not be subject to reimbursement for over-allocated space pursuant to section 11969.8. 
(d) Additional Provisions Relating to a Charter School Established at an Existing Public School Site. 
The following provisions apply only to a charter school established at an existing public school site pursuant to Education Code sections 47605(a)(2), 52055.5, 52055.55, or 52055.650 and that operated at the site in its first year pursuant to paragraph (2) of subdivision (c). 
(1) The school site, as identified in the school's charter, shall be made available to the school for its second year of operation and thereafter upon annual request pursuant to Education Code section 47614. The district is entitled to charge the charter school pro rata costs for the school site pursuant to section 11969.7, and the district is entitled to receive reimbursement for over-allocated space from the charter school pursuant to section 11969.8, except as provided in paragraph (3). 
(2)(A) If, by material revision of the charter, the location of a charter school is changed, or if one or more additional sites are approved pursuant to Education Code section 47605(a)(4), then the school is entitled to request and the district shall provide for the use of facilities by the school in accordance with the revised charter, Education Code section 47614, and the provisions of this article. 
(B) If the charter school was established pursuant to Education Code section 47605(a)(2), the district shall change the school's attendance area only if a waiver is first secured from the State Board of Education (SBE) pursuant to Education Code sections 33050-33053 of the requirement in Education Code section 47605(d)(1) that the school continuously give admission preference to students residing in the former attendance area of the school site. 
(C) If the charter school was established pursuant to Education Code sections 52055.5, 52055.55, or 52055.650, the district shall relocate the school or change the school's attendance area only if a waiver is first secured from the SBE pursuant to Education Code sections 33050-33053 of the provision of statute binding the school to the existing school site. 
(D) If a school district decides to change a charter school's attendance area as provided in subparagraphs (B) or (C), and if the decision occurs between November 1 and June 30 and becomes operative in the forthcoming fiscal year, then the space allocated to the charter school is not subject to reimbursement for over-allocated space pursuant to section 11969.8 in the forthcoming fiscal year. 
(3) If, by February 1 of its first year of operation, a charter school notifies the district that it will have over-allocated space in the following fiscal year, the space identified is not subject to reimbursement for over-allocated space pursuant to section 11969.8 in the following year or thereafter, and the district is entitled to occupy all or a portion of the space identified. To recover space surrendered to the district pursuant to this paragraph, a charter school must apply to the district. An application to recover surrendered space shall be evaluated by the district in accordance with the provisions of this article.

§11969.7. Charges for Facilities Costs.
Note     •     History

If the school district charges the charter school a pro rata share of its facilities costs for the use of the facilities, the pro rata share shall not exceed (1) a per-square-foot amount equal to those school district facilities costs that the school district pays for with unrestricted revenues from the district's general fund, as defined in sections 11969.2(f) and (g) and hereinafter referred to as “unrestricted general fund revenues,” divided by the total space of the school district times (2) the amount of space allocated by the school district to the charter school. The following provisions shall apply to the calculation of the pro rata share of facilities costs: 
(a) For purposes of this section, facilities costs that the school district pays with unrestricted general fund revenues includes those costs associated with plant maintenance and operations, facilities acquisition and construction, and facilities rents and leases, as defined in section 11969.2(h). For purposes of this section, facilities costs also includes: 
(1) contributions from unrestricted general fund revenues to the school district's Ongoing and Major Maintenance Account (Education Code section 17070.75), Routine Restricted Maintenance Account (Education Code section 17014), and/or deferred maintenance fund, 
(2) costs paid from unrestricted general fund revenues for projects eligible for funding but not funded from the deferred maintenance fund, and
(3)  costs paid from unrestricted general fund revenue for replacement of facilities-related furnishings and equipment, that have not been included in paragraphs (1) and (2), according to school district schedules and practices. 
For purposes of this subdivision, facilities costs do not include any costs that are paid by the charter school, including, but not limited to, costs associated with ongoing operations and maintenance and the costs of any tangible items adjusted in keeping with a customary depreciation schedule for each item. 
(b) For purposes of this section, the cost of facilities shall include debt service costs. 
(c) “Space allocated by the school district to the charter school” shall include a portion of shared space where a charter school shares a campus with a school district-operated program. Shared space includes, but is not limited to, those facilities needed for the overall operation of the campus, whether or not used by students. The portion of the shared space to be included in the “space allocated by the school district to the charter school” shall be calculated based on the amount of space allocated for the exclusive use of the charter school compared to the amount of space allocated to the exclusive use of the school-district-operated program. 
(d) The per-square-foot charge shall be determined using actual facilities costs in the year preceding the fiscal year in which facilities are provided and the largest amount of total space of the school district at any time during the year preceding the fiscal year in which facilities are provided. 
(e) The per-square-foot charge shall be applied equally by the school district to all charter schools that receive facilities under this article, and a charter school using school district facilities pursuant to Education Code section 47614 shall report the per-square-foot charge it is paying in the current fiscal year to the California Department of Education (CDE) in any notification the charter school makes to the CDE pursuant to Education Code section 47630.5(b).

§11969.8. Reimbursement Rates for Over-Allocated Space.
Note     •     History

(a) Space is considered to be over-allocated if (1) the charter school's actual in-district classroom ADA is less than the projected in-district classroom ADA upon which the facility allocation was based and (2) the difference is greater than or equal to a threshold ADA amount of 25 ADA or 10 percent of projected in-district classroom ADA, whichever is greater. The per-pupil rate for over-allocated space shall be equal to the statewide average cost avoided per pupil set pursuant to Education Code section 42263 for 2005-06, adjusted annually thereafter by the CDE by the annual percentage change in the general-purpose entitlement to charter schools calculated pursuant to Education Code section 47633, rounded to the next highest dollar, and posted on the CDE Web site. The reimbursement amount owed by the charter school for over-allocated space shall be equal to (1) this rate times the difference between the charter school's actual in-district classroom ADA and the projected in-district classroom ADA upon which the facility allocation was based, less (2) this rate times one-half the threshold ADA. For purposes of this subdivision, the actual in-district classroom ADA shall be determined using the report submitted pursuant to section 11969.9(l) in conjunction with the second principal apportionment under Education Code section 41601. 
(b) A charter school must notify the school district when it anticipates that it will have over-allocated space that could be used by the school district. Upon notification by a charter school that the charter school anticipates having over-allocated space, a school district may elect to use the space for school district programs. The school district must notify the charter school whether or not it intends to use the over-allocated space within 30 days of the notification by the charter school. If the school district notifies the charter school that it intends to use all or a portion of the over-allocated space, payments for over-allocated space and pro rata share payments shall be reduced accordingly beginning at the time of the school district notification to use the space. If the school district notifies the charter school that it does not intend to use the space, the charter school must continue to make payments for over-allocated space and pro rata share payments. The school district may, at its sole discretion, reduce the amounts owed by the charter school. 
(c) With respect to charter schools established at existing public school sites pursuant to Education Code sections 47605(a)(2), 52055.5, 52055.55, or 52055.650, the provisions of this section are limited by the applicable provisions of subdivisions (c) and (d) of section 11969.3.

§11969.9. Procedures and Timelines for the Request for, Reimbursement for, and Provision of, Facilities.
Note     •     History

(a) A charter school must be operating in the school district as defined in Education Code section 47614 before it submits a request for facilities. A new or proposed new charter school is operating within the school district and, therefore, eligible to request facilities for a particular fiscal year only if it submitted its charter petition pursuant to Education Code sections 47605, 47605.5, 47605.6, or 47605.8 on or before November 1 of the fiscal year preceding the year for which facilities are requested. A new charter school is entitled to be allocated and/or provided access to facilities only if it receives approval of the petition before March 15 of the fiscal year preceding the year for which facilities are requested. 
(b) To receive facilities during a particular fiscal year, a charter school must submit a written facilities request to the school district on or before November 1 of the preceding fiscal year. 
(c)(1) The written facilities request consists of: 
(A) reasonable projections of in-district and total ADA and in-district and total classroom ADA, based on ADA claimed for apportionment, if any, in the fiscal year prior to the fiscal year in which the facilities request is made, adjusted for expected changes in enrollment in the forthcoming fiscal year; 
(B) a description of the methodology for the projections; 
(C) if relevant (i.e., when a charter school is not yet open or to the extent an operating charter school projects a substantial increase in in-district ADA), documentation of the number of in-district students meaningfully interested in attending the charter school that is sufficient for the district to determine the reasonableness of the projection, but that need not be verifiable for precise arithmetical accuracy; 
(D) the charter school's operational calendar; 
(E) information regarding the district school site and/or general geographic area in which the charter school wishes to locate; and 
(F) information on the charter school's educational program, if any, that is relevant to assignment of facilities. 
(2) Projections of in-district ADA, in-district classroom ADA, and the number of in-district students shall be broken down by grade level and by the school in the school district that the student would otherwise attend. 
(3) School districts may require the charter school to submit its facilities request containing the information specified in paragraphs (1) and (2) on a form available from the CDE and developed in consultation with the Advisory Commission on Charter Schools (ACCS) or another form specified by the school district. School districts may also require the charter school either to distribute a reasonable number of copies of the written facilities request for review by other interested parties, such as parents and teachers, or to otherwise make the request available for review. 
(d) The school district shall review the charter school's projections of in-district and total ADA and in-district and total classroom ADA and, on or before December 1, express any objections in writing and state the projections the district considers reasonable. If the district does not express objections in writing and state its own projections by the deadline, the charter school's projections are no longer subject to challenge, and the school district shall base its offer of facilities on those projections.
(e) On or before January 2, the charter school shall respond to any objections expressed by the school district and to the district's projections provided pursuant to subdivision (d). The charter school shall reaffirm or modify its previous projections as necessary to respond to the information received from the district pursuant to subdivision (d). If the charter school does not respond by the deadline, the district's projections provided pursuant to subdivision (d) are no longer subject to challenge, and the school district shall base its offer of facilities on those projections. 
(f) On or before February 1, the school district shall prepare in writing a preliminary proposal regarding the space to be allocated to the charter school and/or to which the charter school is to be provided access. At a minimum, the preliminary proposal shall include (1) the projections of in-district classroom ADA on which the proposal is based, (2) the specific location or locations of the space, (3) all conditions pertaining to the space, including a draft of any proposed agreement pertaining to the charter school's use of the space, and (4) the projected pro rata share amount and a description of the methodology used to determine that amount. The district shall also provide the charter school a list and description of the comparison group schools used in developing its preliminary proposal, and a description of the differences between the preliminary proposal and the charter school's facilities request as submitted pursuant to subdivision (b). 
(g) On or before March 1, the charter school shall respond in writing to the school district's preliminary proposal made pursuant to subdivision (f), expressing any concerns, addressing differences between the preliminary proposal and the charter school's facilities request as submitted pursuant to subdivision (b), and/or making counter proposals. 
(h) On or before April 1, having reviewed any concerns and/or counter proposals made by the charter school pursuant to subdivision (g), the school district shall submit in writing a final notification of the space offered to the charter school. The notification shall include a response to the charter school's concerns and/or counter proposals (if any). The notification shall specifically identify:
(1) the teaching station, specialized classroom space, and non-teaching station space offered for the exclusive use of the charter school and the teaching station, specialized classroom space, and non-teaching station space to which the charter is to be provided access on a shared basis with district-operated programs; 
(2) for shared space, the arrangements for sharing; 
(3) the in-district classroom ADA assumptions for the charter school upon which the allocation is based and, if the assumptions are different than those submitted by the charter school pursuant to subdivision (e), a written explanation of the reasons for the differences; 
(4) the specific location or locations of the space;
(5) all conditions pertaining to the space; 
(6) the pro rata share amount; and 
(7) the payment schedule for the pro rata share amount, which shall take into account the timing of revenues from the state and from local property taxes. 
(i) The charter school must notify the school district in writing whether or not it intends to occupy the offered space. This notification must occur by May 1 or 30 days after the school district notification pursuant to subdivision (h), whichever is later. The charter school's notification can be withdrawn or modified before this deadline. After the deadline, if the charter school has notified the school district that it intends to occupy the offered space, the charter school is committed to paying the pro rata share amount as identified. If the charter school does not notify the school district by this deadline that it intends to occupy the offered space, then the space shall remain available for school district programs and the charter school shall not be entitled to use facilities of the school district in the following fiscal year. 
(j) The space allocated to the charter school by the school district (or to which the school district provides the charter school access) must be furnished, equipped and available for occupancy by the charter school for a period of at least ten working days prior to the first day of instruction of the charter school. For good cause, the period is subject to reduction by the school district, but to no fewer than seven working days.
(k) The school district and the charter school shall negotiate an agreement regarding use of and payment for the space. The agreement shall contain at a minimum, the information included in the notification provided by the school district to the charter school pursuant to subdivision (h). In addition: 
(1) The charter school shall maintain general liability insurance naming the school district as an additional insured to indemnify the school district for damage and losses for which the charter school is liable. The school district shall maintain first party property insurance for the facilities allocated to the charter school.
(2) The charter school shall comply with school district policies regarding the operations and maintenance of the school facility and furnishings and equipment. 
(3) A reciprocal hold-harmless/indemnification provision shall be established between the school district and the charter school. 
(4) The school district shall be responsible for any modifications necessary to maintain the facility in accordance with Education Code section 47610(d) or 47610.5. 
(l) The charter school must report actual ADA to the school district every time that the charter school reports ADA for apportionment purposes. The reports must include in-district and total ADA and in-district and total classroom ADA. The charter school must maintain records documenting the data contained in the reports. These records shall be available on request by the school district.

§11977. Funding.
Note     •     History

Funds will be competitively awarded on a geographic basis conforming to the 11 CTAP regions, as referenced above in Section 11973(f). Applicants within each region will compete against other applicants from that region. The amount of funding available for each region is based upon the California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) data two years prior to the grant award to determine grade 4-8 enrollment. Actual grant awards to school districts will be based on CBEDS data for one year prior to the grant award. Technology survey data will be used to determine the current student-to-multimedia computer ratio and compare to the request for additional technology within the application. Allocations are determined through the following procedure: 
(a) Listing of districts serving grades 4-8 in the state with the highest number of children from families with an income below the poverty line established by the federal Director of the Office of Management and Budget; 
(b) Listing of districts serving grades 4-8 in the state with the highest percentage of children from families with an income below the poverty line established by the federal Director of the Office of Management and Budget; 
(c) Merging the top third of the districts from each list to determine final eligibility list; 
(d) Removing all districts that neither (1) operate one or more schools identified for improvement or corrective action under Section 1116 of the Federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (Public Law 107-110), nor (2) have a substantial need for assistance in acquiring and using technology; 
(e) Sorting the list by CTAP region; 
(f) Determining the grade 4-8 enrollment for all districts remaining on the list, and 
(g) Determining the proportionate amount of funding for each CTAP region based upon the total grade 4-8 enrollment for all districts remaining on the list.

§11978. Funding Priority.
Note     •     History

Funding priority will be determined as follows: 
(a) All scored applications will be grouped within each CTAP region by score percentage ranges (100-90, 89-80, 79-70, 69-60, and 59-50); 
(b) Within each score percentage range, applications will be ranked as follows: 
(1) Applications from school districts that received less than $10,000 in funding from the EETT formula grant will be ranked by score percentage and listed first. In the event of a tied score, the applicant with the higher substantial need for assistance in acquiring and using technology as determined by the California School Technology Survey will be listed first. 
(2) Applications from school districts that received $10,000 or more from the EETT formula funding will be ranked by score percentage range and placed below the school districts that received less than $10,000 in EETT formula funding. In the event of a tied score, the applicant with the higher substantial need for assistance in acquiring and using technology as determined by the California School Technology Survey will be listed first. 
(c) Starting with the 100-90 score percentage range and working downward, funding will then be allocated within each scoring percentage range to school districts based upon the middle and junior high schools contained in each application. 
(d) If there is a balance remaining after all middle and junior high schools have been funded, starting with the 100-90 score percentage range and working downward, funding will next be allocated within each scoring percentage range to each school district based upon the elementary schools in each application. 
(e) If there is a balance remaining after all elementary schools have been funded, starting with the 100-90 score percentage range and working downward, funding will be allocated within each score percentage range to each school district based upon the other schools serving grades 4-8 in the application. 
School type will be verified prior to funding. School type will be determined based on the County District School (CDS) ownership code for each school listed on forms 8a, 8b, and 8c (see Section 11975(h)-(j)) as of the date the grant application is due. School districts that request a change of ownership code must have completed a Change Request for a County-District-School (CDS) Code (revised 6/2003), and submitted the form to the California Department of Education a minimum of 30 (thirty) working days prior to the grant application deadline to assure the correct ownership code can be validated.

Note     •     History

The process for awarding grants will be as follows: 
(a) Applications will be read and scored with other applications from the same CTAP region after the application deadline by readers selected by CDE. Each reader will read and score the application against the Scoring Criteria. Those criteria are incorporated by reference and were issued on April 9, 2003. Readers will not read applications from their own CTAP region. If the readers' scores for the application are not more than 10 points apart, the two scores will be averaged to yield the final application score. If the readers' scores are more than 10 points apart, the application will be re-read and re-scored by a Chief Reader. The Chief Reader's score determination will be the final score. 
(b) Awards for each successful applicant for the implementation grant will be made in two allotments as follows: 
(1) One allotment for two-thirds of the grant award total.
(2) A second allotment for one-third of the grant award total.
(c) A one-time follow-up grant, depending on funding availability, may be awarded if the applicant successfully completes the implementation grant, as referenced in Section 11973(g). For schools not defined as “small school” as referenced above in Section 11973(d), the one-time follow-up grant may be in the amount of $45 per eligible pupil. For those defined as “small school” as referenced above in Section 11973(d), the one-time follow-up grant may be allocated: 
(1) $6,000 for 1-100 eligible students; 
(2) $10,000 for 101-200 eligible students; 
(3) $13,500 for 201-300 eligible students. 
(d) The one-time follow-up grant may be awarded, subject to funding availability, only after the CDE verifies that the LEA has met or made significant progress in meeting its accountability measures as referenced in Section 11973(g).

§11981.3. Funding Allocation for Teachers of English Learners.
Note     •     History

(a) Program funds issued to an LEA for the 40-hour English learner (EL) professional development for teachers of EL pupils shall be used for the EL professional development program described in Education Code section 99237.5. If an LEA has any remaining program funds after paying for EL professional development, then those funds shall be spent for additional EL professional development pursuant to Education Code section 99237.5 or for other professional development which focuses on improving the delivery of mathematics or reading/language arts instruction to EL pupils.
(b) At the end of each state fiscal year, the CDE shall accrue any remaining balance in the appropriations for this program until funding reverts for a state fiscal year. Accrued funding shall be used only to pay for training completed during the same state fiscal year in which the funding was appropriated. From funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act for Education Code section 99237.5 in a given state fiscal year, the CDE shall allocate accrued funding as follows:
(1) Claims for EL training that are postmarked or faxed to the CDE by November 15th of the following state fiscal year and that meet at least one of the three funding criteria specified in Education Code section 99237.5(c) shall receive first priority for funding. An LEA shall indicate on the claim each criterion under which it qualifies for priority in funding. If funding is insufficient to fully fund all of these claims, then the CDE shall prorate the funds. The proration shall consist of first dividing the funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act by the product of $1,250 and the total number of teachers who received EL training as reflected in these first priority claims. The resulting number shall then be multiplied by 100 to determine the maximum percentage of an LEA's trained teachers for which reimbursement may be made pursuant to this subdivision. As it deems necessary, the CDE may adjust the percentage, which shall apply equally to all LEAs, to ensure that the amount appropriated in the annual Budget Act is not exceeded.
(2) If funding remains after paying all the claims specified in subdivision (b)(1), then claims for EL training that are postmarked or faxed to the CDE by November 15th of the following state fiscal year and that do not meet any of the funding criteria specified in Education Code section 99237.5(c) shall receive second priority for funding. If funding is insufficient to fully fund all of these claims, then the CDE shall prorate the funds. The proration shall consist of first dividing the remaining funds by the product of $1,250 and the total number of teachers who received EL training as reflected in these second priority claims. The resulting number shall then be multiplied by 100 to determine the maximum percentage of an LEA's trained teachers for which reimbursement may be made pursuant to this subdivision. As it deems necessary, the CDE may adjust the percentage, which shall apply equally to all LEAs, to ensure that the amount appropriated in the annual Budget Act is not exceeded.
(3) If funding remains after paying all the claims specified in subdivisions (b)(1) and (b)(2), then claims for EL training that are postmarked or faxed to the CDE after November 15th of the following state fiscal year shall be funded on a first-come-first-served basis according to the date the claim is postmarked or faxed and provided the claim is postmarked or faxed by the second March 1st date after the November 15th date in this subdivision. If funding is insufficient to fully fund all the claims received on the same day, then the CDE shall prorate the funds. The proration shall consist of first dividing the remaining funds by the product of $1,250 and the total number of teachers who received EL training as reflected in the claims received by the CDE on that day. The resulting number shall then be multiplied by 100 to determine the maximum percentage of an LEA's trained teachers for which reimbursement may be made pursuant to this subdivision. As it deems necessary, the CDE may adjust the percentage, which shall apply equally to all LEAs, to ensure that the amount appropriated in the annual Budget Act is not exceeded.

Subchapter 22.5. Reading First Achievement Index/Definition of Significant Progress
§11991. Reading First Achievement Index.
Note     •     History

(a) The California Reading First Plan, approved by the United States Department of Education on August 23, 2002, requires the development of criteria to determine progress for Reading First local educational agencies (LEAs). To comply with this requirement, the Reading First Achievement Index (RFAI) was created. The RFAI is an annually calculated numerical index of a school's reading achievement in kindergarten through grade three, and comprises weighted test results from the following assessments: 
(1) The Standardized Testing and Reporting Program (STAR), California Standards Test (CST) in English language arts, for grades two and three. Each of these assessments is weighted as 30 percent of a school's RFAI, for a total of 60 percent; 
(2) The STAR norm-referenced subtests in reading, language arts, and spelling for grade three. The reading subtest is weighted as 6 percent, the language arts subtest as 2 percent, and the spelling subtest as 2 percent of a school's RFAI, for a total of 10 percent; and 
(3) The Reading First End-of-Year Reading Assessments in either English or Spanish for kindergarten through grade three. The kindergarten and grade three assessments are each weighted as 5 percent of a school's RFAI, and grade one and two assessments are each weighted as 10 percent of a school's RFAI, for a total of 30 percent. 
(b) If a school does not have test results as specified in section 11991(a), due to either not having classrooms in one or more of the primary grade levels, kindergarten through grade three, or having less than 11 students in any grade level, the LEA's mean values on those missing data elements will be used to calculate the school's RFAI. 
(c) If a school does not submit test results for any of the assessments specified in section 11991(a), a value of zero will be used for that data element to calculate the school's RFAI. 
(d) If a school does not have at least 45 percent of the RFAI weights specified in section 11991(a), an RFAI will not be calculated for that school.

Such notice shall also include information regarding the LEA's ability to appeal the defunding determination. 
(b) If an LEA chooses to appeal the defunding determination, the following process shall be adhered to: 
(1) Within 30 days of receipt of the defunding determination notification, the LEA shall file a written request for appeal with the CDE. The request shall include an explanation of the basis for the appeal and any supporting documentation. 
(2) Upon receipt of an LEA appeal, the CDE shall have 30 days to investigate the appeal. CDE shall have the right to request the LEA to provide additional or clarifying information. CDE shall also have the right to reasonably extend the investigation period for up to an additional 30 days, if in its opinion, more time is required to complete a thorough review of the appeal and supporting documents. 
(3) Upon completion of its investigation, CDE shall make a recommendation to the SBE to either uphold or deny the LEA's appeal, including the reasons for such recommendation. CDE shall also notify the LEA that its investigation is complete and that the recommendation has been forwarded to the SBE. 
(4) The SBE shall consider the recommendation at the earliest regularly scheduled SBE meeting at which the appeal can be placed on the Agenda. 
(c) An LEA involved in the appeal process may continue to offer the Reading First program while the appeal is being considered and a final determination achieved.

Article 2. School Sites
§14010. Standards for School Site Selection.
Note     •     History

All districts shall select a school site that provides safety and that supports learning. The following standards shall apply:
(a) The net usable acreage and enrollment for a new school site shall be consistent with the numbers of acres and enrollment established in the 2000 Edition, “School Site Analysis and Development” published by the California Department of Education and incorporated into this section by reference, in toto, unless sufficient land is not available or circumstances exist due to any of the following:
(1) Urban or suburban development results in insufficient available land even after considering the option of eminent domain.
(2) Sufficient acreage is available but it would not be economically feasible to mitigate geological or environmental hazards or other site complications which pose a threat to the health and/or safety of students and staff.
(3) Sufficient acreage is available but not within the attendance area of the unhoused students or there is an extreme density of population within a given attendance area requiring a school to serve more students on a single site. Choosing an alternate site would result in extensive long-term bussing of students that would cause extreme financial hardship to the district to transport students to the proposed school site.
(4) Geographic barriers, traffic congestion, or other constraints would  cause extreme financial hardship for the district to transport students to the proposed school site.
(b) If a school site is less than the recommended acreage required in subsection (a) of this section, the district shall demonstrate how the students will be provided an adequate educational program including physical education as described in the district's adopted course of study.
(c) The property line of the site even if it is a joint use agreement as described in subsection (o) of this section shall be at least the following distance from the edge of respective power line easements:
(1) 100 feet for 50-133 kV line.
(2) 150 feet for 220-230 kV line.
(3) 350 feet for 500-550 kV line.
(d) If the proposed site is within 1,500 feet of a railroad track easement, a safety study shall be done by a competent professional trained in assessing cargo manifests, frequency, speed, and schedule of railroad traffic, grade, curves, type and condition of track need for sound or safety barriers, need for pedestrian and vehicle safeguards at railroad crossings, presence of high pressure gas lines near the tracks that could rupture in the event of a derailment, preparation of an evacuation plan. In addition to the analysis, possible and reasonable mitigation measures must be identified.
(e) The site shall not be adjacent to a road or freeway that any site-related traffic and sound level studies have determined will have safety problems or sound levels which adversely affect the educational program.
(f) Pursuant to Education Code sections 17212 and 17212.5, the site shall not contain an active earthquake fault or fault trace.
(g) Pursuant to Education Code sections 17212 and 17212.5, the site is not within an area of flood or dam flood inundation unless the cost of mitigating the flood or inundation impact is reasonable.
(h) The site shall not be located near an above-ground water or fuel storage tank or within 1500 feet of the easement of an above ground or underground pipeline that can pose a safety hazard as determined by a risk analysis study, conducted by a competent professional, which may include certification from a local public utility commission.
(i) The site is not subject to moderate to high liquefaction or landslides.
(j) The shape of the site shall have a proportionate length to width ratio to accommodate the building layout, parking and playfields that can be safely supervised and does not exceed the allowed passing time to classes for the district.
(k) The site shall be easily accessible from arterial roads and shall allow minimum peripheral visibility from the planned driveways in accordance with the Sight Distance Standards established in the “Highway Design Manual,” Table 201.1, published by the Department of Transportation, July 1, 1990 edition, and incorporated into this section by reference, in toto.
(l) The site shall not be on major arterial streets with a heavy traffic pattern as determined by site-related traffic studies including those that require student crossings unless mitigation of traffic hazards and a plan for the safe arrival and departure of students appropriate to the grade level has been provided by city, county or other public agency in accordance with the “School Area Pedestrian Safety” manual published by the California Department of Transportation, 1987 edition, incorporated into this section by reference, in toto.
(m) Existing or proposed zoning of the surrounding properties shall be compatible with schools in that it would not pose a potential health or safety risk to students or staff in accordance with Education Code Section 17213 and Government Code Section 65402 and available studies of traffic surrounding the site.
(n) The site shall be located within the proposed attendance area to encourage student walking and avoid extensive bussing unless bussing is used to promote ethnic diversity.
(o) The site shall be selected to promote joint use of parks, libraries, museums and other public services, the acreage of which may be included as part of the recommended acreage as stated in subsection (a) of this section.
(p) The site shall be conveniently located for public services including but not limited to fire protection, police protection, public transit and trash disposal whenever feasible.
(q) The district shall consider environmental factors of light, wind, noise, aesthetics, and air pollution in its site selection process.
(r) Easements on or adjacent to the site shall not restrict access or building placement.
(s) The cost and complications of the following shall be considered in the site selection process and should not result in undue delays or unreasonable costs consistent with State Allocation Board standards:
(1) Distance of utilities to the site, availability and affordability of bringing utilities to the site.
(2) Site preparation including grading, drainage, demolition, hazardous cleanup, including cleanup of indigenous material such as serpentine rock, and off-site development of streets, curbs, gutters and lights.
(3) Eminent domain, relocation costs, severance damage, title clearance and legal fees.
(4) Long-term high landscaping or maintenance costs.
(5) Existence of any wildlife habitat that is on a protected or endangered species list maintained by any state or federal agency, existence of any wetlands, natural waterways, or areas that may support migratory species, or evidence of any environmentally sensitive vegetation.
(t) If the proposed site is on or within 2,000 feet of a significant disposal of hazardous waste, the school district shall contact the Department of Toxic Substances Control for a determination of whether the property should be considered a Hazardous Waste Property or Border Zone Property.
(u) At the request of the governing board of a school district, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction may grant exemptions to any of the standards in this section if the district can demonstrate that mitigation of specific circumstances overrides a standard without compromising a safe and supportive school environment.

Article 4. Standards, Planning and Approval of School Facilities
§14030. Standards for Development of Plans for the Design and Construction of School Facilities.
Note     •     History

The following standards for new schools are for the use of all school districts for the purposes of educational appropriateness and promotion of school safety:
(a) Educational Specifications.
Prior to submitting preliminary plans for the design and construction of school facilities, and as a condition of final plan approval by CDE, school board-approved educational specifications for school design shall be prepared and submitted to the California Department of Education based on the school district's goals, objectives, policies and community input that determine the educational program and define the following:
(1) Enrollment of the school and the grade level configuration.
(2) Emphasis in curriculum content or teaching methodology that influences school design.
(3) Type, number, size, function, special characteristics of each space, and spatial relationships of the instructional area that are consistent with the educational program.
(4) Community functions that may affect the school design.
(b) Site Layout.
Parent drop off, bus loading areas, and parking shall be separated to allow students to enter and exit the school grounds safely unless these features are unavailable due to limited acreage in urban areas or restrictive locations, specifically:
(1) Buses do not pass through parking areas to enter or exit school site unless a barrier is provided that prevents vehicles from backing directly into the bus loading area.
(2) Parent drop off area is adjacent to school entrance and separate from bus area and staff parking.
(3) Vehicle traffic pattern does not interfere with foot traffic patterns. Foot traffic does not have to pass through entrance driveways to enter school. Crosswalks are clearly marked to define desired foot path to school entrance.
(4) Parking stalls are not located so vehicles must back into bus or loading areas used by parents. Island fencing or curbs are used to separate parking areas from loading/unloading areas.
(5) To provide equal access to insure the purposes of the least restrictive environment, bus drop off for handicapped students is in the same location as for regular education students.
(c) Playground and Field Areas.
Adequate physical education teaching stations shall be available to accommodate course requirements for the planned enrollment, specifically:
(1) A variety of physical education teaching stations are available to provide a comprehensive physical education program in accordance with the district's adopted course of study (including hardcourt, field area and indoor spaces).
(2) The physical education teaching stations are adequate for the planned student enrollment to complete the minimum instruction and course work defined in Education Code Sections 51210(g), 51220(d) and 51225.3(a)(1)(F).
(3) Supervision of playfields is not obstructed by buildings or objects that impair observation.
(4) Joint use for educational purposes with other public agencies is explored. Joint use layout with parks is not duplicative and fulfills both agencies' needs.
(d) Delivery and Utility Areas.
Delivery and service areas shall be located to provide vehicular access that does not jeopardize the safety of students and staff:
(1) Delivery/utility vehicles have direct access from the street to the delivery area without crossing over playground or field areas or interfering with bus or parent loading unless a fence or other barrier protects students from large vehicle traffic on playgrounds.
(2) Trash pickup is fenced or otherwise isolated and away from foot traffic areas.
(e) Future Expansion.
Site layouts shall have capability for expansion without substantial alterations to existing structures or playgrounds:
(1) Site layout designates area(s) for future permanent or temporary additions that are compatible with the existing site plans for playground layout and supervision.
(2) Utilities to the expansion area are included in the plans and have the capacity to accommodate anticipated growth.
(3) Exits, corridors, stairs, and elevators are located to accommodate capacity of additions, particularly in such buildings added as the multi-purpose/cafeteria, administration, gymnasium/or auditorium.
(f) Placement of Buildings.
Building placement shall consider compatibility of the various functions on campus and provide optimum patterns of foot traffic flow around and within buildings. Site layout of buildings, parking, driveways, and physical education areas shall be adequate to meet the instructional, security and service needs of the educational program:
(1) Building placement is compatible with other functions on campus; e.g., band room is not next to library.
(2) Physical relationship of classrooms, auxiliary, and support areas allows unobstructed movement of staff and students around the campus.
(3) Building placement has favorable orientation to wind, sun, rain, and natural light.
(4) Restrooms are conveniently located, require minimum supervision, and, to the extent possible, are easily accessible from playground and classrooms.
(5) Parking spaces are sufficient for staff, visitors, and students (where applicable).
(6) The campus is secured by fencing and electronic devices such as code entries, electronic monitoring or motion sensors when needed.
(g) Classrooms.
Classrooms at new school sites shall have adequate space to perform the curriculum functions for the planned enrollment as described in the school district's facility master plan, specifically:
(1) Classroom size standards:
(A) General classrooms, grades one through twelve are not less than 960 square feet.

§14105. School Bus and School Pupil Activity Bus (SPAB) Passenger Restraint System Use.
Note     •     History

All passengers in a school bus or in a school pupil activity bus that is equipped with passenger restraint systems in accordance with sections 27316 and 27316.5 of the Vehicle Code, shall use the passenger restraint system. All pupils described in subdivision (a) of Education Code Section 39831.5, shall be instructed in an age-appropriate manner in the use of passenger restraint systems required by Education Code Section 39831.5(a)(3). The instruction shall include, but not be limited to, the following information:
(a) Proper fastening and release of the passenger restraint system:
(1) Fastening: To fasten, insert the latch plate (the metal “tongue” attached to one side of the webbing) into the proper buckle (the receptacle that comes out from the “bight” in the back of the seat, a slot in the seat cushion, or from the side). The latch plate inserts into the buckle until you hear an audible snap sound and feel it latch. Make sure the latch plate is securely fastened in the buckle.
(2) Unfastening: To unfasten, push the buckle release button and remove the latch plate from the buckle. The buckle has a release mechanism that, when manually operated during “unbuckling,” breaks the bond and separates the two sections.
(b) Acceptable placement of passenger restraint systems on pupils: Adjust the lap belt to fit low and tight across the hips/pelvis, not the stomach area. Place the shoulder belt snug across the chest, away from the neck. Never place the shoulder belt behind the back or under the arm. Position the shoulder belt height adjuster so that the belt rests across the middle of the shoulder. Failure to adjust the shoulder belt properly would reduce the effectiveness of the lap/shoulder belt system and increase the risk of injury in a collision.
(c) Times at which the passenger restraint system should be fastened and released: Passenger restraint systems shall be used at all times the school bus or school pupil activity bus is in motion except when exempted in subdivisions (e) and (f) of this section.
(d) Acceptable placement of the passenger restraint systems when not in use: When not in use, passenger restraint systems shall be fully retracted into the retractors so that no loose webbing is visible, or stored in a safe manner per the school bus manufacturer's instructions.
(e) This section does not apply to a passenger with a physically disabling condition or medical condition which would prevent appropriate restraint in a passenger restraint system, providing that the condition is duly certified by a licensed physician or licensed chiropractor who shall state in writing the nature of the condition, as well as the reason the restraint is inappropriate.
(f) This section also does not apply in case of any emergency that may necessitate the loading of school children on a school bus in excess of the limits of its seating capacity. As used in this section, “emergency” means a natural disaster or hazard (as determined by the school district superintendent or their designee) that requires pupils to be moved immediately in order to ensure their safety.

Subchapter 1. Nonresident Tuition
§15000. Definitions Under Education Code Section 37107.
Note     •     History

(a) Total Current Expense of Education.
The term “total current expense of education, exclusive of the expense of transportation,” as used in Education Code Section 37107, means the total current expense of education for grades 9 through 12 of the district as defined in the California School Accounting Manual. Such expenditures are the current general fund operating expenditures of the school district excluding expenditures for pupil transportation services, food services, community services, and object classifications 6000 and 7000 (except 7250, current expense for “Regional Occupational Centers or Regional Occupational Programs”).
(b) Actual Expense of Transportation.
The “actual expense of transportation” is the amount computed, as hereinafter in this section provided, for transportation between home and school of all high school pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in a county and not in any district maintaining a high school, plus the amount computed, as hereinafter in this section provided, for other than home-to-school transportation for such pupils.
(c) Computation for Home-to-School Transportation.
The amount for transportation of such pupils between home and school shall be computed by using any one or a combination of the following alternate methods:
(1) When one or more vehicles are used to transport between home an school pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in one county and not in a district maintaining a high school and 90 percent of the pupils regularly so transported in each vehicle are such pupils, the actual expense of such transportation shall be computed by multiplying the number of miles the one or more vehicles traveled to provide such transportation by the average cost per mile of all vehicles operated by the district to transport pupils during the fiscal year.
(2) When one or more vehicles are used to transport between home and school pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in two or more counties and not in any district maintaining a high school and 90 percent of the pupils regularly so transported in each vehicle are such pupils, the actual expense of such transportation shall be computed by multiplying the miles traveled to provide such transportation by the average cost per mile of all vehicles operated by the district to transport pupils during the fiscal year, and such expense shall be prorated among the two or more counties in the following manner:
(A) The distance measured by the nearest traveled road from the school of attendance to the most distant point in a county to which transportation is provided shall be determined.
(B) A percentage for each county shall be determined by dividing the distance for each county measured as provided in (A) above by the sum of the distances so measured for each county.
(C) The percentage for each county shall be multiplied by the amount to be prorated.
(3) When vehicles are used for the transportation between home and school of pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in a county and not in any district maintaining a high school and for the transportation between home and school of other pupils, regardless of the respective percentages of the pupils, the actual expense of transportation of pupils in grades 9 through 12 who reside in a county and not in any district maintaining a high school shall be computed by any one of the following methods:
(A) The product obtained by multiplying the average number of pupils per bus transported one way daily by the total miles traveled in providing all transportation between home and school shall be divided into the total expense of providing home-to-school transportation, and the quotient so obtained shall be multiplied by the product obtained by multiplying the number of pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in a county and not in any district maintaining a high school by the total miles traveled to provide such pupils transportation. When daily records of the number of pupils transported are not kept by a district, the average number of pupils transported for the purposes of this subsection shall be determined by the district by a survey on or about October 1st, December 1st, February 1st, and May 1st by counting the number of pupils transported one way between home and school, designating separately by name those pupils residing in a county and not in a district maintaining a high school.
(B) The product obtained by multiplying 75 percent of the average number of seats in each vehicle operated by the district to transport pupils by the total number of miles traveled by all vehicles in home-to-school transportation shall be divided into the total expense of providing home-to-school transportation, and the quotient so obtained shall be multiplied by the product obtained by multiplying the number of pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in a county and not in any district maintaining a high school by the number of miles traveled to provide such pupils transportation.
(C) The sum of the miles each pupil was transported between home and school shall be divided into the total expense of transporting all pupils between home and school, and the quotient so obtained shall be multiplied by the sum of the miles each pupil in grades 9 through 12 residing in a county and not in any high school district was transported. When daily records of the miles each pupil is transported are not kept by a district, the sum of the miles each pupil was transported for the purpose of this subdivision shall be determined by the district by a survey on or about October 1st, December 1st, February 1st, and May 1st by measuring the number of miles one way that each pupil is transported between home and school, designating separately by name those pupils residing in a county and not in a district maintaining a high school.
Total expenses of providing home-to-school transportation shall be determined for the purposes of this subsection (3) by multiplying the number of miles traveled in providing such transportation by the average cost per mile to the district in providing all pupil transportation.
(d) Computation for Transportation Other Than Home-to-School.
The amount for providing transportation other than home-to-school transportation for pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in a county and not in any high school district shall be computed as either (1) that amount which is the same percent of the total expense of providing transportation other than home-to-school transportation as the amount computed for home-to-school transportation is of the total expense of providing home-to-school transportation; or (2) that amount which is the same percent of the total expense of providing other than home-to-school transportation for grades 9 through 12 as the average daily attendance of pupils in grades 9 through 12 residing in a county and not in any high school district is to the average daily attendance of all pupils in grades 9 through 12.
(e) “Expense” Defined.
The term “expense,” as used in subsection (b) of this section, means current expenses as defined in Section 15240 of this title.

For the purposes of administering the provisions of this chapter and the provisions of Education Code Sections 41376 and 41378, the following definitions apply:
(a) “Class” means a group of pupils scheduled to report regularly at a particular time to a particular teacher as opposed to a grade which is a broader segment of the school organization.
(1) Where the type of teaching in kindergarten and grades 1, 2, and 3 is other than in self-contained classes, the “class” is the basic homeroom where all of the following applies for a child:
(A) Attendance is recorded and investigation of absences is instigated.
(B) The child has his desk, locker, or drawer.

(2) For kindergarten and grades 1, 2, and 3, when it is necessary for a specific group of pupils, consisting of a portion or all of the pupils otherwise enrolled in a “class,” to meet together for a particular period or periods during the regular school day for a particular phase of education for which responsibility is assigned to two or more teachers, or for an extracurricular school activity, such group shall not be considered a “class” under the provisions of this section.
(b) “Regular day class” means a class maintained during the regular school day as defined by the governing board. Classes in special day and evening and summer schools, juvenile hall schools, and classes for the physically handicapped, mentally retarded, severely mentally retarded, educationally handicapped, and mentally gifted are not regular day classes for the purposes of this section. 
(c) “Active enrollment” on a day a count is taken means the pupils in enrollment in the class on the first day of the school year on which the class was in session, plus all later enrollees, minus all withdrawals since that first day.
(1) For kindergarten and Grades 1, 2, and 3, a count shall be made on the last teaching day of each school month that ends prior to April 15 of the school year.

(e) The “average number of pupils enrolled per class” for grades 1, 2, and 3 is the number obtained by dividing the sum of the quotients derived under subsection (d) for all classes in those grades, by the number of those quotients. The “average number of pupils enrolled per class” for kindergarten is the number so obtained for all classes in kindergarten.
(f) The “total number of pupils enrolled” for grades 4 to 8, inclusive, means the active enrollment, as defined in subsection (c), in those grades at the end of the sixth school month, exclusive of the active enrollment of pupils in grades 4 to 8, inclusive, in classes considered to be of grades 1, 2, or 3 under Section 15102.
(g) “Classroom teacher” means an employee of the district in a position requiring certification qualifications whose duties require him to teach in regular day classes in any grade of Grades 4 to 8, inclusive, during the regular school year.

§15106. Kindergarten Exemption.
History

Written application for waiver authorized by Education Code section 41379 shall be directed to the Bureau of School Apportionments and Reports, California Department of Education. The application shall be filed by November 1.
Possible reasons for exemption are:
(a) The expense of adding a class or classes and/or the added expense of transporting kindergarten children to another school will cause the district to be unduly burdened with expense. In order to determine this the district shall include the following information: 
(1) Beginning balance, exclusive of restricted funds, in the General Fund for the current fiscal year.
(2) Estimated total income in the General Fund for the current fiscal year.
(3) Estimated expenditures and the appropriation for contingencies before costs of adding classes and/or transportation to reduce kindergarten class size.
(4) Number of classes to be added and/or the number of pupils to be transported.
(5) Estimated cost of item 4.
(b) Shifting kindergarten children from one school attendance area to another school in order to balance the class size will cause a child to be traveling undue time in reaching the class to which he is reassigned. In order to determine this, the district shall include the following information:
(1) List the children to be reassigned and the length of time each kindergarten child will travel in order to reach reassigned class from his home.
(2) The distance between the schools by the shortest traveled route. 
(3) If the reassigned children are to be transported, give the average time for the current kindergarten bus runs in the district.
(c) Requiring kindergarten children to travel from one school attendance area to another school in order to balance class size will expose a child to hazards. In order to determine exemption for this the district shall submit a description of the hazardous condition and how a kindergarten child is endangered by the condition.

Each participating school must have a student to certificated teacher ratio no greater than 20 to 1, with no more than 22 pupils in any participating class pursuant to Education Code section 52084(c). Students who are recognized as being in grades 10, 11, or 12, but who are nonetheless enrolled in participating classes are to be included in the total number. The result is rounded to 2 decimal places. A result of 20.49 or less will be rounded down to 20, and a result of 20.50 or greater will be rounded up to 21. Any school with a ratio of 20.50 or greater is not eligible to receive funding. 
(c) Both the MH-CSR9-A Request for Application (Rev. 01/2005) and the J-9MH-A Report of Enrollment (Rev. 01/2005) shall be completed in full and submitted to the California Department of Education. 
(1) For grade 9 class size reduction the forms shall include: 
(A) The designated course or courses, which must be intended primarily for students recognized as being in grade 9. 
(B) The student to teacher ratio as defined in section 15141(b)(2) above. 
(2) For grades 10, 11, and 12, inclusive, class size reduction, pursuant to Education Code section 52084(g), the forms shall include: 
(A) The district-wide designated grade level and the designated course. 
(B) The number of classes at each school and the total number of classes in the participating school district for the designated course. 
(C) The number of pupils enrolled in classes at each school and the total number of pupils enrolled in all classes in the participating school district for the designated course. 
(d) In apportioning funds pursuant to Education Code section 52086, school district funding is calculated by multiplying the FYEE by the per pupil rate at each participating school. Maximum funding for one course may not exceed the total 9th grade student enrollment as reported in the California Basic Educational Data System (CBEDS) multiplied by the per pupil rate or, for two courses, two times the 9th grade student enrollment as reported in CBEDS multiplied by the per pupil rate. While a school may receive funding for non-ninth graders in grade 9 CSR classes, at least 50 percent of those enrolled in participating classes must be ninth graders.

History

For the purposes of Section 41855 of the Education Code, “excessive distances” traveled to transport “relatively few pupils” (sparsity) and expense due to travel for excessive distances, are as follows:
(a) All miles traveled on each bus route both outgoing and incoming in excess of ten miles from the school terminal and on which route the number of pupils transported does not exceed the number of miles required to be traveled one way. The expense due to travel for excessive distances is the product of the cost per mile as entered in item C, column 5 on Form No. J-141, and the number of miles determined to be excessive.
(b) All miles traveled on a feeder route, the furthermost point of which is more than ten miles, by the routes traveled, from the school terminal, and connects to a primary route for transfer of students. The expense due to travel for excessive distances is the product of the cost per mile as entered in item C, column 5 on Form No. J-141 and the total miles traveled on the feeder route.
(c) All expense incurred by a school district for payments to parents or guardian living in the district in lieu of transportation (Education Code Section 39806), is expense due to excessive distances if eligibility is established under either (a) or (b) above.
(d) All expense incurred by a school district for payments for board and lodging for pupils whose parents or guardian live in the district (Education Code Section 39807) shall be considered as expense due to travel for excessive distances.

As used in this chapter, “bus” means school bus.
Article 2. Classification of School Bus Fleets for Transportation Allowance Purposes
§15246. Definition.

In this article, “the average number of hours per day school buses are operated” means the number of hours accumulated between the time when the buses depart from the location in which they are customarily stationed when not in use, and the time when the buses are returned there at the end of the day, (excluding the time when the buses are not in use between trips) divided by the total number of days buses are operated during the regular school term.
§15247. Establishment of School Bus Fleet Classes.

As a basis for determining expenditures upon which allowances shall be computed, 16 classes of school bus fleets for districts are hereby established.
The 16 classes are as shown in the following schedule, wherein capital letters indicate the average number of hours of bus operation per day, and Roman numerals indicate the average size of buses so operated:

	                                      Average hours of bus operation per day
	A	B	C	D
Average size of buses	Less than	4-5	6-7	8 or more

§15248. Emergency Affecting Normal Classification: Exemption.

When, because of a temporary emergency, a district has used additional school buses or increased the hours of operation, or both, and inclusion of the additional buses and hours in computation of its school bus fleet classification would result in a classification other than the expected normal, the school district may request an exemption excluding the additional buses and hours of operation from such computation. The request for exemption shall be submitted to the Superintendent of Public Instruction not later than June 30 of the fiscal year in which the emergency occurred. If the Superintendent of Public Instruction determines that a temporary emergency did exist and that the changes in operational procedure were necessary to continue to provide a safe and efficient transportation system, he may approve the exemption.

§15371. Definitions.
Note

(a) “School Revenue Limit.” The revenue limit is a computed amount that places a limit on the amount of revenue that a district is allowed to receive from property taxes, certain local sources of income, and from the state. A district may receive state and federal categorical aid, property taxes for repayment of capital projects outside the revenue limit, and some limited fees in addition to the revenue limit. The total revenue limit consists of a base revenue limit plus any of a number of revenue limit adjustments.
(b) “Base Revenue Limit.” The base revenue limit is an amount that is computed by formula each year from the previous year's base revenue limit. Some of the revenue limit adjustments are permanent increases or decreases to the revenue limit and so become incorporated into the base revenue limit. Other revenue limit adjustments are computed anew each year.
(c) “Average Daily Attendance” (hereafter referred to as ADA). Unless otherwise indicated, attendance is measured as the count of daily attendance averaged over the school year consisting of at least 175 school days meeting for the minimum length school day as specified in the Education Code. For classes for adults and classes for regional occupational centers or programs pursuant to Education Code Section 41601, the average daily attendance shall be determined by dividing the total number of days of attendance in all full school months in the first period of attendance by a divisor of 70, in the second period by 135, and at annual time by 175. For classes for adults and classes for regional occupational centers or programs, three hours of attendance are equal to one apportionment day of attendance. There are three attendance periods for each fiscal year. The First Principal attendance period, designated P1, is the attendance count from July 1 through December 31, and is used to compute the First Principal Apportionment due February 20 of the fiscal year. The second principal attendance period, designated P2, is the attendance count from July 1 through the last school month that ends on or before April 15 of the fiscal year, and is used to compute the Second Principal Apportionment due June 25 of the fiscal year. Annual Attendance is the attendance count from July 1 through June 30 of the fiscal year.
(d) “Categorical Aid.” In addition to the revenue limit support, school districts receive other state and federal funds which are apportioned on allotment for specific purposes named in the law, regulation, or statute. These are known as categorical aid because they can be spent only for specific categories.
(e) “General Aid.” Revenue limit support, both local and state, are general aid as it can be spent for general purposes of the district.

(5) Line E: Report the total amount per ADA, equal to the amount in Line C divided by the ADA reported in Line D, rounded to two decimal places. 
(6) Line F shall be used to perform the computation of the adjustment factor. 
(A) Line F-1a: Report the foundation program amount to be used in this recomputation for districts which do not meet the provisions of Chapter 119 of the Statutes of 1979 (AB 445). This amount is $1,241 for elementary school districts, $1,427 for high school districts, or $1,322 for unified school districts. 
(B) Line F-1b: Report the foundation program amount to be used in this calculation for districts that do meet the following three criteria specified by Chapter 119, Statutes of 1979 (AB 445), specifically that: 
(1) the district has an average daily attendance of less than 10,000, as reported on Line C-1 of Form K-12-A (1978-79); 
(2) the district maintained a necessary small school in 1977-78 and 1978-79 other than a continuation high school or a special education school; and 
(3) the district was credited with a foundation program amount in the 1977-78 school year pursuant to Education Code Sections 41701, 41703, or subdivision (a) of Section 41711. For districts that meet all of these requirements, the amount used in Line F-1b shall be equal to the district's average foundation program amount per unit of average daily attendance for the 1978-79 fiscal year, which is determined by dividing the foundation program amount shown in Line C-3 of Form K-12-A (1978-79) by the average daily attendance shown in Line C-1 of the same form. The result shall be rounded to the nearest whole dollar. This amount must be the same as that shown in Line F-1b in Schedule Q(B) (1978-79). 
(C) Line F-2: Report the computed factor, equal to the amount in Line E divided by the amount in Line F-1a or F-1b, as appropriate, rounded to four decimal places. 
(D) Lines F-3, F-4, and F-5 shall be used to determine the adjustment factor. If the factor in Line F-2 is less than or equal to 1.1000, use Line F-3 to report a deficit factor of .910000. If the factor in Line F-2 is greater than or equal to 1.5000, use line F-4 to report a deficit factor of .850000. If the factor in Line F-2 is between 1.1000 and 1.5000, perform the following calculation: subtract 1.1000 from the amount in Line F-2, divided the difference by .4, and multiply quotient by .06 and then add this product to .09, and then subtract that result from 1.00. (Round the answer in Line F-5 to six decimal places).

§15386. Calculation of 1979-80 Revenue Limit for School Districts Using Form K-12.
Note

The county superintendent of schools shall calculate the 1979-80 revenue limit for each school district in the county using Form K-12 and Schedules C, D, E, G, J, and S. Form K-12 shall be completed as follows:
(a) Line A: Report the recomputed K-12 base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance as shown in Line O of Schedule B (1979-80). This amount shall be reported to two decimal places.
(b) Line B-1: Report the appropriate weighted mean base revenue limit computed pursuant to Section 15378. The weighted mean revenue limits provided on Forms K-12 (P-1) and K-12 (P-2) are an estimate. The weighted mean revenue limits provided on Form K-12(A) shall be the actual weighted mean. For purposes of Line B-1, “ADA” shall be the 1978-79 regular average daily attendance, equal to the attendance in Line N-4 minus the attendance in Line N-2 of Schedule B (1979-80). Use the appropriate weighted mean for the type and size of district as follows:
(1) Line B-1a: For elementary districts with less than 101 ADA.
(2) Line B-1b: For elementary districts with greater than 100 but less than 901 ADA.
(3) Line B-1c: For elementary districts with greater than 900 ADA.
(4) Line B-1d: For high school districts with less than 301 ADA.
(5) Line B-1e: For high school districts with greater than 300 ADA.
(6) Line B-1f: For unified districts with less than 1,501 ADA.
(7) Line B-1g: For unified districts with greater than 1,500 ADA. 
(c) Line B-2: Determine the computed factor equal to the appropriate amount in Line B-1 divided by the amount in Line A. Report this amount rounded to four decimal places. Note that this computed factor may be greater than 1.0000.
(d) Line B-3: Computation of the annual inflation adjustment. The adjustment for all districts is based on 8.6 percent (.086) times the weighted mean revenue limit of a unified district with ADA greater than 1,500 ADA (estimated to $1,476). $1,476 times .086 = $127 when rounded to whole dollars. The accuracy of the $127/per ADA will not be totally known until the final data to determine the $1,476 are available in the summer of 1980.
(e) Line B-4: Report a permanent decrease in the revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance which is required by Education Code Section 42244.7 when special education programs are transferred from a school district to a county superintendent of schools pursuant to Section 1710 of the Education Code. The amount of reduction shall be equal to the amount of excess cost which the district expended from its revenue limit, exclusive of income from federal sources or tuition for such programs in 1978-79, divided by the average daily attendance in 1979-80 as shown on Line C-1 of this form. This computed amount represents a decrease to the revenue limit and so shall be shown in brackets () and shall be reported to two decimal places.
(f) Line B-5: Report a permanent increase to the revenue limit authorized by Section 42237.5 of the Education Code and calculated pursuant to Section 15387.

(1) Line C-1a: Report the regular average daily attendance reduced by class-size penalties. Exclude summer school ADA and adult ADA attendance in both adult and regional occupational programs and centers. Do include concurrently enrolled pupils in ROP/C and adult programs. Also count ADA in summer programs for the substantially handicapped, as this is regular attendance and not summer school attendance.
(2) Line C-1b: Report the 1979-80 actual ADA in summer school programs for graduating seniors times .6, rounding the result to the nearest whole number. If the district had a 1979-80 summer program for graduating seniors and this result, prior to rounding, is less than one, report one ADA.

§15387. Calculation of Increase in Revenue Limit for a High School District Maintaining a Junior High School Using Schedule J.
Note

Note: Only high school districts with junior high programs are affected.
The increase in revenue limit for a high school district maintaining a junior high school authorized by Section 42237.5 of the Education Code shall be calculated using Schedule J. This calculation shall not apply to any high school district whose 1978-79 recomputed base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance, as shown on Line A of Form K-12 (1979-80) exceeds 120 (one hundred and twenty) percent of the 1978-79 weighted average revenue limit for high school districts having over 300 units of average daily attendance computed pursuant to Section 15378, nor shall this calculation apply to high school districts that do not receive junior high school tuition payments pursuant to Section 37062 of the Education Code. The calculation described in Steps (a) through (j) below shall be made for each elementary school district sending junior high school pupils to the high school district, using Schedule J.
(a) Line A: Compute the 1979-80 base revenue limit per unit of average daily attendance for the elementary school district, equal to the sum of the amounts shown in Lines A and B-3 of Form K-12 (1979-80) for the elementary school district. Report this amount rounded to two decimal places on Line A.
(b) Line B: Compute the 1979-80 base revenue limit for the high school district, equal to the sum of the amounts shown in Lines A and B-3 of Form K-12 (1979-80) for the high school district. Report this amount, rounded to two decimal places, on Line B.
(c) Line C: Subtract the elementary district's base revenue limit shown in Line A from the high school district's base revenue limit shown in Line B and multiply this difference by .75. Report this result rounded to two decimal places on Line C.
(d) Line D: Report the 1979-80 elementary school district junior high school tuition rate pursuant to Section 37062 of the Education Code. This amount shall be rounded to two decimal places.
(e) Line E: Subtract the elementary district's base revenue limit shown in Line A from the junior high school tuition rate shown in Line D, and report this result to two decimal places on Line E.
(f) Line F: Report the 1979-80 Second Principal seventh and eighth grade average daily attendance attending the high school district.
(g) Line G: Subtract the amount in Line E from the amount in Line C, and multiply this result by the average daily attendance shown in Line F. Report this result to a whole dollar on Line G. If this result is less than zero, report zero.
(h) Line H: Subtract the high school district's base revenue limit shown in Line B from the junior high school tuition rate shown in Line D, and multiply this result by the average daily attendance in Line F. Report this result to a whole dollar on Line H. If this result is less than zero, report zero.
(i) Line I: Subtract the amount in Line H from the amount in Line G. This is the amount for a single district. A separate Schedule J must be completed for each of the elementary school districts that send junior high school students to the high school district. When this has been done, add the amounts shown in Line I of Schedule J for all the feeder elementary districts of the high school district, and divide this sum by the high school ADA, as shown on Line C-1, 1979-80, Form K-12. This quotient shall be rounded to two decimal places and reported on Line B-5 on the 1979-80 Form K-12. Note: If the sum of the Feeder elementary districts, Line I adjustments, is less than zero, there is no adjustment to the high school revenue limit.

(1) Line C-1: If the amount in Line A is less than the 1978-79 statewide average adult revenue limit computed in Section 15380, multiply the amount in Line A times 1.07 times the ADA in Line B, and report this result rounded to a whole dollar in Line C-1.
(2) Line C-2: If the amount in Line A is greater than or equal to the 1978-79 statewide average adult revenue limit computed in Section 15380, but less than or equal to 1.07 times the 1978-79 statewide average, then compute an amount equal to 1.07 times that statewide average times the ADA in Line B, and report this result to the nearest dollar in Line C-2.
(3) Line C-3a and b: 
(A) Line C-3a: If the amount in Line A is greater than the 1978-79 statewide average adult revenue limit computed in Section 15380 times 1.07, compute the 1979-80 revenue limit as follows. Multiply the amount in Line A by either the 1978-79 adult average daily attendance in mandated programs shown in Line K-4 of Schedule B (1979-80) or the 1979-80 average daily attendance in mandated adult programs shown in Line B, whichever is less, and report the result to the nearest dollar in Line C-3a.
(B) Line 3C-b: If the 1978-79 adult average daily attendance in mandated programs shown in Line K-4 of Schedule B (1979-80) is less than the 1979-80 average daily attendance in mandated adult programs shown in Line B, then also compute an amount equal to:
1. The 1978-79 statewide average amount computed in Section 15380 times
2. The factor 1.07 times
3. The 1979-80 average daily attendance in mandated adult programs, minus the 1978-79 average daily attendance in mandated adult programs, and report this result, rounded to a whole dollar, on Line C-3b.
(d) Line D: Report any adjustments to the adult revenue limit. Note that prior-year adjustments pursuant to Education Code Section 42245 shall not be a revenue limit adjustment in the 1979-80 fiscal year for the prior fiscal year, and therefore Line D-1 is not to be used. Any corrections to he 1978-79 adult revenue limit shall be made through the recalculation of the 1978-79 adult revenue limit due February 1980.
(1) Line D-2: Report any gain or loss from interdistrict attendance agreements pursuant to subdivision (d) of Section 46605 of the Education Code. This adjustment is computed in the same manner as that for the K-12 program described in Section 15386(k), but relates only to mandated adult average daily attendance.
(2) Line D-3: Report an increase in the revenue limit to reflect mandated costs imposed by final court orders, federal statutes, or initiative enactments after January 1, 1978, pursuant to Section 42243.6 of the Education Code. If this revenue limit adjustment is used, a letter of explanation shall be sent to the Local Assistance Bureau.
(3) Line D-4: Report the total adjustments to the 1979-80 adult revenue limit, equal to the amount in Line D-2 plus the amount in Line D-3.
(e) Line E: Compute the 1979-80 adult revenue limit, which is equal to either the amount in Line D-4 plus the amount in Line C-1, or the amount in Line C-2, or the sum of the amounts in Lines C-3a and C-3b, depending on the districts' prior-year adult revenue limit. Report this result on Line E and also on Line C-9 of Form K-12 (1979-80).

Note

(a) “Revenue Limits.” The revenue limit for county superintendents is a computed amount that places a limit on the amount of revenue that the county superintendent can receive from property taxes, other local sources of income, and from the state for the support of special education programs, special schools and classes, vocational/technical schools and classes, and other specified county school service fund operations (reference Sections 2550-2555, Education Code). The county superintendent may also receive categorical funds, certain property taxes levied for specific indebtedness repayment purposes, and some limited fees in addition to the revenue limit. The revenue limit is computed each year from the prior year's base revenue limit, adjusted for inflation and/or various other factors.
(b) “Categorical Funds.” Revenue designated for direct service and other purpose apportionments, contracted income and fees, and funds designated exclusively for the support of a specific program (or programs) which cannot be used to supplant the revenue limit of that program.
(c) “Average Daily Attendance” (hereinafter referred to as ADA). Unless otherwise indicated below, attendance is measured as the count of daily attendance averaged over the school year consisting of at least 175 school days meeting for the minimum length school day as specified in the Education Code. For Regional Occupational Centers/Programs pursuant to Section 41601 (Education Code), the average daily attendance in all full school months in the first period of attendance by a divisor of 70, in the second period by 135, and at annual time by 175. For ROC/Ps, three hours of attendance are equal to one apportionment day of attendance.
(d) “Attendance Periods.” There are three attendance periods for each fiscal year. The First Principal attendance period, designated “P1,” is the attendance count from July 1 through the last school month that ends on or before December 31 of the fiscal year, and is used to compute the First Principal Apportionment due February 20 of the fiscal year. The Second Principal attendance period, designated “P2,” is the attendance count from July 1 through the last school month that ends on or before April 15 of the fiscal year, and is used to compute the Second Principal Apportionment due June 25 of the fiscal year. The annual attendance period, designated “A,” is the attendance count from July 1 through June 30 of the fiscal year, and is used to compute the Annual Recalculation of the Apportionment due February 20 of the following fiscal year.
(e) “Excess Costs.” Excess costs are any and all costs for a particular program that are in excess of the revenue limit and/or the state and federal allowances for that program.
(f) “Allowed Average Expenditures.” The average expenditure per class or ADA, excluding capital outlay, as determined for a designated base fiscal year and increased each year thereafter by an inflation adjustment. Allowed average expenditures are used to establish certain base revenue limits.

§15407. Computation of 1979-80 Revenue Limits for Physically Handicapped and Mentally Retarded Programs Using Schedule W and Back-Up Schedules WW and T.
Note     •     History

For each county superintendent of schools, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall calculate the 1979-80 revenue limits for physically handicapped and mentally retarded programs using Schedule W. This schedule shall be completed as follows:
(a) Use Schedule W to report data and make separate computations for the following programs (reference Sections 2500b), (c), (d), and 2550(a)(1), Education Code).
(1) Physically Handicapped--Special Day Classes:
(A) Hearing handicapped
(B) Vision handicapped
(C) Orthopedically handicapped--other health impaired
(D) Aphasic 
(E) Pregnant minors
(F) Deaf-Blind and other multihandicapped
(G) Other handicapped
(H) Autistic
(2) Physically Handicapped--Other Classes:
(A) Remedial physical education
(B) Other remedial instruction--speech
(C) Individual instruction
(D) Special speech instruction--speech aides
(E) For the special blind allowance
(3) Mentally Retarded Programs for the Educable Mentally Retarded
(4) Mentally Retarded Programs for the Trainable Mentally Retarded
(b) Column 1: Report on the appropriate program line the 1978-79 allowed average expenditures per class or ADA. This is determined by multiplying the 1977-78 allowed average expenditures per class or ADA times 1.1327 and rounding the result to two decimal places (Reference 1978-79 Worksheet W and Form J-73-W(A)).
(1) Counties which have computed pupil transportation separately from special day class allowed average expenditures in prior years shall complete Schedule WW (P-2). All other counties shall include transportation expenditures in their respective Physically Handicapped and Mentally Retarded programs and shall not complete Schedule WW (P-2).
(2) Those counties completing Schedule WW (P-2) shall prorate to the respective special day classes in column (a) their 1978-79 total transportation expenses which had been reported as a separate program item on their 1978-79 Schedule J-73 W(A). The county shall report their 1978-79 actual special education transportation allowances in column (b). Column (c) is computed as follows: Determine the allowed adjusted transportation expenditure per special day class programs by subtracting the amount in column (b) from the amount in column (a) and multiply the difference by the adjustment factor (.90). The column (c1) is the sum of column (b) (Special Allowances) and column (c). The county shall report their actual number of 1978-79 ADA transported per respective special class program in column (d). The actual allowed transportation expenditure shall be determined by dividing the amount in column (c1) by the ADA reported in column (d). This quotient is reported in column (e). The county shall report their 179-80 annual ADA being transported in each respective special class program in column (f) and multiply this ADA by the allowed average transportation expenditure shown in column (e). This product is reported in column (g) Schedule WW (P-2) and column (7) of Schedule W (P-2).
(3) In determining allowed average expenditures per class or ADA for programs involving more than one class size and/or level, it is necessary to develop a weighted average expenditure per class or ADA for such programs.
(4) Those counties that maintained programs but did not tax in prior years shall use the 1977-78 current expenditures per class or ADA for such programs increased by 1.1327.
(5) If a district transfers its physically handicapped or mentally retarded program(s) to the county superintendent of schools pursuant to Section 1710 of the Education Code, the revenue limit of the district shall be reduced by the amount of excess cost which the district expended from its revenue limit for the program(s) in the prior fiscal year. This excess cost shall not include expenditures of income from federal sources of tuition (reference Section 42244.7, Education Code).
If a special education program is transferred from a district to the county superintendent, it is necessary to develop a weighted average expenditure per class or ADA for both the county and the district-operated program.
(6) If the county superintendent started a new program in 1978-79 not previously maintained by the county superintendent or a district within the county, the allowed average expenditures shall be determined by using either the 1977-78 current expenditures of the most similar program already in operation multiplied by 1.1327 or the 1977-78 statewide average expenditure for the program (obtained from the Local Assistance Bureau) multiplied by 1.1327.
(c) Column 2: Report the 1978-79 actual average special allowances, and any federal aid, per class or ADA determined by dividing the sum of the actual 1978-79 annual recalculated special allowances and any actual 1978-79 federal aid for each program by the actual number of classes or ADA for each program as reported in the 1978-79 annual attendance count (Form J-22-A). Report this result carried to two decimal places.
(1) In determining average special allowances per class or ADA for programs involving more than one class size and/or level, it is necessary to develop a weighted average allowance per class or ADA for such programs.
(2) Include federal aid only if the allowed average expenditure base included any such federal aid.
(d) Column 3: Report the 1978-79 deficit adjustment determined by subtracting column 2 from column 1, and multiplying the difference by .90. Report this result carried to two decimal places.
(e) Column 4: Determine the 1978-79 revenue limit per class or ADA by adding column 2 to column 3. Report this result carried to two decimal places.
(f) Column 5: Report the number of classes or ADA as determined for the 1979-80 annual attendance period. (Report to two decimal places if fractional classes are involved.)
(1) If a class is operated for only part of the year, arrive at a fraction of a whole class by dividing the number of days taught for that class by 175 days. Carry the result to two decimal places.
(2) If a class is operated for extended sessions, arrive at an additional fraction of a whole class by dividing the total number of days taught in extended session for that class by 175 days. Carry the result to two decimal places.
(g) Column 6: Determine the 1979-80 base revenue limit per class or ADA by multiplying the 1978-79 allowed average adjusted expenditure reported in column 3 by the 1979-80 annual Class/ADA reported in column 4. Report this result rounded to two decimal places. If the county superintendent starts a new program in 1979-80 not previously maintained by the county superintendent or a district within the county, the revenue limit shall be computed by using either the 1978-79 current expenditures of the most similar program already in operation multiplied by 1.086, or the 1978-79 statewide average expenditure for the program (obtained from the Local Assistance Bureau) multiplied by 1.086.
(h) Column 7: Those counties completing Schedule WW shall report, on column 7 of Schedule W, their total transportation expenditure as reported on column g of Schedule WW.
(i) Column 8: Determine the total 1979-80 revenue limits for physically handicapped and mentally retarded programs by adding column 5 and column 6. Report this result rounded to the nearest dollar. Only the “TOTALS” lines, A & B, in column 7 shall be used to report the total 1979-80 revenue limits for physically handicapped and mentally retarded programs on Form O, lines A-1a and A-1b.

§17606. Pay Plan for School Term Employee.
Note     •     History

(a) Pay for Entire School Term. A school term employee who completes all the service required for an entire school term shall for such service be paid his or her annual school term salary in installments payable on state pay days covering the period of one year beginning with the effective date of his appointment to the position. The first installment shall be paid on an appropriate state pay day following the effective date of his appointment for the year and shall be the amount of the established monthly salary for the position. If such employee separates from the position following the completion of assigned duties in the position but prior to the end of the period of a year, the employee may on separation be paid as a final settlement the unpaid balance of the salary due, such balance to be computed by taking into account changes, if any, in the salary rate and time base. Such balance will equal the amount which the employee would have been paid if employment had continued until the end of the period of a year.  For each month the employee works one-half or more of the workdays certified to the Controller for that month the employee shall be granted a qualifying pay period. 
(b) Interim Adjustment in Pay Due to Noncompensable Absence. If, because of a late start or noncompensable absence of a school term employee, it is necessary to reduce the salary payment for any state pay period, the interim reduction for that period shall be computed as follows: 
(1) First Step -- Divide the annual salary by 210. The annual salary shall be the monthly salary rate in effect at the time of dock multiplied by twelve.
(2) Second Step -- Divide the number of hours on dock by 8.
(3) Third Step -- The amount of dock shall be the result of the first step multiplied by the result of the second step.
(c) If the amount of dock computed in any one pay period would result in zero or minus pay, the dock pay shall be calculated as follows: 
(1) First Step -- Divide the annual salary by 210. The annual salary shall be the monthly salary rate in effect at the time of dock multiplied by twelve.
(2) Second Step -- Divide the number of hours on dock by 8.
(3) Third Step -- The amount of dock shall be the result of the first step multiplied by the result of the second step.
(d) Settlement Payments. A school term employee who serves less than a school term, or whose pay has been adjusted due to a late start or a noncompensable absence, or who has had a change in time base, or who is transferred to service in a position other than as a school term employee shall, on the state pay day immediately following the final state pay period for which appointed and served or at the time separated or transferred from the school term position, receive a final settlement payment computed in accordance with the following formula: 
(1) First step -- The total salary earned equals the total days worked by the employee divided by the number of workdays in the school term for the employee's classification; the resulting figure is multiplied by the employee's annual school term salary.
(2) Second step -- The amount of settlement pay equals the total salary earned minus the salary payment previously received by the employee for the current school term.
(e) Report to Controller. The final settlement payment shall be computed by the special school and a copy of such computation furnished to the State Controller.

Note     •     History

(a) If the basis of need as stated on the application for services is employment of the parent, the documentation of the parent's employment shall include the days and hours of employment. 
(b) If the parent has an employer, the documentation of need based on employment shall consist of one of the following:
(1) The pay stubs provided to determine income eligibility that indicate the days and hours of employment;
(2) When the provided pay stubs do not indicate the days and hours of employment, the contractor shall verify the days and hours of employment by doing one of the following:
(A) Secure an independent written statement from the employer; 
(B) Telephone theemployer and maintain a record;
(C) If the provided pay stubs indicate the total hours of employment per pay period and if the contractor is satisfied that the pay stubs have been issued by the employer, specify on the application for services the days and hours of employment to correlate with the total hours of employment and the parent's need;
(D) If the variability of the parent's employment is unpredictable and precludes the contractor from verifying specific days and hours of employment or work week cycles, specify on the application for services that the parent is authorized for a variable schedule for the actual hours worked, identifying the maximum number of hours of need based on the week with the greatest number of hours within the preceding four weeks and the verification pursuant to subdivisions (A), (B), or (C) above. Until such time as the employment pattern becomes predictable, need for services shall be updated at least every four months and shall be based on the requirements of subdivision (b) and the child care services utilized; 
(E) If the employer refuses or is non-responsive in providing the requested information, record the contractor's attempts to contact the employer, and specify and attest on the application for services to the reasonableness of the days and hours of employment based on the description of the employment and community practice; or
(F) If the parent asserts in a declaration signed under penalty of perjury that a request for employer documentation would adversely affect the parent's employment, on the application for services:
(i) Attest to the reasonableness of the parent's assertion; and
(ii) Specify and attest to the reasonableness of the days and hours of employment based on the description of the employment and community practice.
(3) When the employed parent does not have pay stubs or other record of wages from the employer and has provided a self-certification of income, as defined in section 18078(o), the contractor shall assess the reasonableness of the days and hours of employment, based on the description of the employment and the documentation provided pursuant to section 18084(a)(3), and authorize only the time determined to be reasonable.
(c) If the parent is self-employed, the documentation of need based on employment shall consist of the following:
(1) Parent provided information that includes:
(A) A declaration of need under penalty of perjury that includes a description of the employment and an estimate of the days and hours worked per week;

If the parent has unpredictable hours of employment, the contractor shall authorize the parent for a variable schedule not to exceed the number of hours determined to be needed per week. Need for services for unpredictable hours shall be updated at least every four months and shall be based on the requirements of subdivision (c). If the contractor has been unable to verify need based on the documentation provided, the contractor shall take additional action to verify self-employment that includes any one or more of the following:

Note     •     History

(a) The requirements of this section are in addition to those stated in section 18086. 
(b) If the parent's employment is in the family's home or on property that includes the family's home, the parent must provide justification for requesting subsidized child care and development services based on the type of work being done and its requirements, the age of the family's child for whom services are sought, and, if the child is more than five years old, the specific child care needs.

§18086.5. Documentation of Seeking Employment; Service Limitations.
Note     •     History

(a) If the basis of need as stated on the application for services is seeking employment, the parent's period of eligibility for child care and development services is limited to 60 working days during the contract period, except as specified in subdivisions (d) and (e). Services shall occur on no more than five days per week and for less than 30 hours per week. The period of eligibility shall start on the day authorized by the contractor and extend for consecutive working days.
(b) Documentation of seeking employment shall include a written parental declaration signed under penalty of perjury stating that the parent is seeking employment. The declaration shall include the parent's plan to secure, change, or increase employment and shall identify a general description of when services will be necessary.
(c) The contractor shall determine the number of working days available for seeking employment and the child care schedule, which may be a variable schedule, based on the documentation. During the period of authorization and if necessary to verify need, the contractor may request that the parent provide, no more than once a week, a description of the activities he or she has undertaken during the previous week to seek employment and, as appropriate, may require additional documentation.
(d) If the Governor declares a state of emergency and if the factual bases for the Governor's declaration indicate that opportunities for employment have temporarily diminished to such a degree that parents cannot be reasonably expected to find employment within 60 working days of diligent searching, the State Superintendent of Public Instruction (SSPI) may investigate to determine whether the 60-working-days limitation described in paragraph (a) should be suspended. If the SSPI determines that it is in the public interest to do so, he or she may, by order, suspend the 60-working-days limitation on eligibility during the period of the emergency or for a lesser time. The scope of the suspension, including the geographic areas and the persons affected, and its duration, shall be no more than necessary to respond to the emergency as determined in the SSPI's investigation, and shall be specifically described in the SSPI's order. If a parent's services for seeking employment were exhausted after an emergency was declared and before the SSPI suspends the eligibility limitation, the contractor may re-authorize services for seeking employment in accordance with the conditions specified in the SSPI's order.
(e) If the parent has concurrently received services based on employment or vocational training for at least 20 working days while receiving services for seeking employment, eligibility for seeking employment may be extended for an additional 20 working days. For such a parent, services for this purpose shall not exceed 80 working days during the contract period.
(f) If services for this purpose are discontinued, the number of working days remaining in the period of eligibility shall be available for a subsequent period of eligibility during the contract period.
(g) As used in this section, the working days used to determine the period of eligibility shall include the consecutive Mondays through Fridays, excluding any federal holidays.

§18573. Criteria for Reorganization of School Districts.
Note     •     History

(a) The analysis of the proposal or petition by the California Department of Education shall state findings of fact and recommendations as to whether each district affected by the proposed reorganization substantially meets the following criteria and standards:
(1) It is the intent of the State Board that direct service districts not be created which will become more dependent upon county offices of education and state support unless unusual circumstances exist. Therefore, each district affected must be adequate in terms of numbers of pupils, in that:
(A) Each such district should have the following projected enrollment on the date that the proposal becomes effective or any new district becomes effective for all purposes:

Elementary District	 901

High School District 	 301

Unified District 	 1,501
(B) The analysis shall state whether the projected enrollment of each affected district will increase or decline and the extent thereof.
(2) To determine whether the new district is organized on the basis of substantial community identity, the following criteria should be considered:
(A) Isolation.
(B) Geography.
(C) Distance between social centers.
(D) Distance between school centers.
(E) Topography.
(F) Weather.
(G) Community, school, and social ties and other circumstances peculiar to the area.
(3) To determine whether an equitable division of property and facilities will occur, the California Department of Education will determine which of the criteria authorized in Education Code Section 35736 shall be applied. It shall also ascertain that the affected districts and the county office of education are prepared to appoint the committee described in Education Code section 35565 to settle disputes arising from such division of property.
(4) To determine whether the new districts will promote racial or ethnic discrimination or segregation, the effects of the following factors will be considered:
(A) The current number and percentage of pupils in each racial and ethnic group in the affected districts and schools in the affected districts, compared with the number and percentage of pupils in each racial and ethnic group in the affected districts and schools in the affected districts if the proposal or petition were approved.
(B) The trends and rates of present and possible future growth or change in the total population in the districts affected, in each racial and ethnic group within the total district, and in each school, of the affected districts.
(C) The school board policies regarding methods of preventing racial and ethnic segregation in the affected districts and the effect of the proposal or petition on any desegregation plan or program of the affected districts, whether voluntary or court ordered, designed to prevent or to alleviate racial or ethnic discrimination or segregation.
(D) The effect of factors such as distance between schools and attendance centers, terrain, and geographic features that may involve safety hazards to pupils, capacity of schools, and related conditions or circumstances that may have an effect on the feasibility of integration of the affected schools.
(E) The effect of the proposal on the duty of the governing board of each of the affected districts to take steps, insofar as reasonably feasible, to alleviate segregation of minority pupils in schools regardless of its cause.
(5) The proposal or petition shall not significantly adversely affect the educational programs of districts affected by the proposal or petition. In analyzing the proposal or petition, the California Department of Education shall describe the districtwide programs, and the school site programs, in schools not a part of the proposal or petition that will be adversely affected by the proposal or petition.
(b) The Board may waive the criteria specified in subsections (a)(1) through (a)(5) of this section and may approve a proposal or petition or decide an appeal under Education Code section 35710.5 or 35711 if the Board determines circumstances with respect to the proposal, petition or appeal provide a sufficient exceptional situation.

After public notice and hearing, the standard code may be amended by the Fair Political Practices Commission to conform to amendments in the Political Reform Act. Therefore, the terms of 2 Cal. Code of Regulations section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission are hereby incorporated by reference. This regulation and the attached Appendix, designating positions and establishing disclosure categories, shall constitute the conflict-of-interest code of the State Board of Education (Agency), except as provided below.
Individuals holding designated positions shall file statements of economic interests with the Agency, which will make the statements available for public inspection and reproduction. (Gov. Code Sec. 81008.) Upon receipt of the statements of members of the board and the Executive Director, the agency shall make and retain a copy and forward the originals of these statements to the Fair Political Practices Commission. All other statements will be retained by the Agency. 

Exception: As provided in 2 Cal. Code of Regulations section 18730(b)(1), the definitions contained in the Political Reform Act of 1974 shall apply to the terms used in this Code except that neither the term “investment” nor the term “business entity” shall operate to exclude any private school in California, whether or not such school is operated for profit.

Chapter 21. Private Postsecondary Education Instructions
Subchapter 1. General Provisions
§18800. Definitions.
Note     •     History

(a) “Instructor.” An instructor is the individual who is responsible for the routine operation of a course on its scheduled basis; a person who is the primary source of instruction, knowledge and expertise by reason of his or her constant presence or availability in the classroom or facility or through correspondence instruction. “Instructor” does not include persons designated as teaching assistants, guest lecturers, substitute teachers, teacher aides or any other personnel specifically not subject to approval by the superintendent. However, such designated personnel may be used without specific approval so long as, in the opinion of the superintendent, the quality or effectiveness of instruction is not impaired and the intent of Sections 18814(b) and 18817 is not circumvented.
(b) “Administrator.” An administrator is any owner or staff member of an institution who has an active role in its operation and has responsibilities such as managing, supervising, planning, research, personnel, financial operations, or working directly with students or prospective students in a noninstructional capacity excepting personnel who function exclusively as off-site agents holding permits pursuant to Education Code Section 94333. “Administrator” does not include persons who provide support services and do not have primary responsibility for the area of operation in which they are working, custodial and maintenance staff, and outside personnel under contract.
(c) “Specific Degree.” As used in Education Code Section 94310.2, “specific degree” means a degree, the title of which includes the specific academic, educational, technological or professional objective attained 
which, in turn, is recognized by any institution operating under Education Code Section 94310.1.
(d) “Superintendent.” “Superintendent” means the State Superintendent of Public Instruction and includes the Private Postsecondary Education Division where appropriate.
(e) “Avocational or Recreational Education.” Education solely avocational or recreational, as used in Education Code Section 94303, is education, the object of which is not primarily to train for employment, but which is commonly pursued for personal entertainment, recreation, individual edification or as a hobby.
(f) “Makes Available.” As used in Education Code Section 94312(h), “makes available” means to expressly inform the prospective student that a catalog or brochure may readily be examined or obtained.
(g) “Institution Structured by Schools of Theology.” As used in Education Code Section 94310.4, an “institution structured by schools of theology” is one in which the education is restricted primarily to courses or curriculum in theology or ministry, and other education or instruction directly related to theology or ministry, the content of which is not necessarily limited to the principles of any particular church or denomination.

§18805. Refund Policy.
Note     •     History

(a) Institutions approved or authorized pursuant to Education Code Sections 94310.2, 94310.3, and 94310.4, and 94311(d) shall, in the event of a student or applicant cancels enrollment prior to the completion of the course, promptly refund to each student the unused portions of paid tuition fees and other charges or reduce the amount due under the enrollment contract, as appropriate, in accordance with the following minimum standards:
(1) Cancellation of Contract or Enrollment. A student or applicant may cancel the contract or enrollment by notifying institution personnel of that intention. Such notice is effective when delivered or when postmarked. An institution may require a written notice of cancellation provided that such requirement is clearly detailed in the catalog and enrollment agreement.
(2) Instructional Materials. If there is to be any charge to a student or applicant for instructional materials under any circumstances whatever, the school must detail provisions, if any, for the return or recovery of the materials, and a specific price must be affixed to the items and clearly cited. Fees for instructional materials shall not be considered as “tuition fees” as used in this section.
Initial correspondence course materials shall be sent to the student within 7 working days following receipt of student enrollment, or the student may rescind the contract and shall be entitled to full refund of all monies paid.
At any time during the enrollment period, a correspondence institution shall upon written request send the balance of all course materials to any student who has paid in full under his contract. If the student has not paid in full but has paid in excess of the amount owed under paragraph (6) below, the institution shall upon written request send the student the materials paid for but not received, which will constitute full settlement of the institution's obligation to the student. In such event, the school shall remain obligated for all services to which the student is entitled.
(3) Registration Fees. An institution shall be entitled to a minimum registration fee of $25.00 with a maximum of 15 percent of the total tuition fees or $100.00, whichever is less.
(4) Three-Day Full Refund Period. Where the provisions of Education Code Section 94312(e) are not applicable, the student or applicant shall be given no less than 3 working days following the day on which enrollment was signed or effective to cancel enrollment and receive refund of all monies paid to institution or its representative, including the refund of registration and instructional materials fees, provided no classes have been attended, lessons completed, or materials used.
(5) Cancellation After Three-Day Period. Where the provisions of Education Code Section 94312(e) are not applicable, and should the student or applicant cancel enrollment more than 3 working days following the day on which enrollment was signed or effective, the institution may retain, as earned, the amount disclosed as a registration fee plus any disclosed and used instructional material costs not inconsistent with its stated policy, provided that:
(A) In resident institutions, the cancellation was made prior to the date upon which the institution is scheduled to start classes or instruction, or
(B) In correspondence institutions, the cancellation was made prior to the date on which the institution received the first completed lesson or prior to the 30th day following the date on which the student or applicant first received materials, whichever occurs first.
(6) Minimum Refund. Should a student cancel enrollment after the time period described in (a)(5)(A) of this section, whether or not he or she was in attendance, or after the time period described in (a)(5)(B) of this section, the student is entitled to a refund of fees and charges, except registration fees and costs of instructional materials consistent with the institution's stated policy, in accordance with the following refund formula:

Percent of attendance time or of	
course length as related to the	Minimum Amount of
total course time or length:	Refund
Up to 10% 	90%
10% and up to 25% 	75%
25% and up to 50% 	50%
50% and over 	No Refund

The requirements of this part do not apply to institutions operating under Education Code Section 94310. Those institutions shall develop and use a fair, equitable and positive policy of incremental refund of unused fees and other charges applicable to cancellations.
(7) Fees Which Shall be Refunded. Fees which shall be refunded are:
(A) Any fee or charge collected in error shall be repaid in full.
(B) Any charges collected from a student which the institution holds for the purpose of paying to any other public or private person, firm, organization, or agency, such as for a bond, license application or examination fees, or any similar fees or charges shall, where the student fails to enter the course or withdraws therefrom at any time prior to completion of the course, be refunded in full. Such charges are not subject to any refund if the institution has paid them prior to receipt of cancellation of a contract or enrollment.
(C) All prepaid but unearned fees and other charges paid by a student to the institution shall be refunded to the student if the institution discontinues the class or course for which the student has enrolled.
(8) Refunds to Veterans. A student enrolled under any federal or state veterans' education assistance plan may receive all the refunds of fees in accordance with the law or regulations under which the federal or state veterans' education assistance plan is operated, regardless of any limitation set forth in this section.
(9) Timely Refunds. Refunds must be made by the institution within 30 days of the cancellation.
(b) In addition to inclusion in the catalog or brochure, the institution's refund policy shall be fully, clearly and conspicuously included in each contract of enrollment.
(c) The superintendent may, at his discretion, permit exceptions to an institution's refund policy upon the institution making application to the superintendent for such exception and detailing the reasons. After consideration by the superintendent, he may deny such exception, grant the exception, or order a suitable refund policy.

§19819. Independent Study.
Note     •     History

If the local education agency reported Average Daily Attendance generated through independent study, perform the following procedures
(a) At the agency level: 
(1) Reconcile the local education agency's independent study attendance records to Average Daily Attendance generated through full-time independent study reported to the California Department of Education. 
(2) From the independent study attendance records, select a representative sample of pupils for whom Average Daily Attendance generated through independent study was claimed, including pupils on intermittent or “short term” independent study if the local education agency offered that option, and confirm that every pupil in the sample is identified in the written records of the district or county board by grade level, by program placement, and by the school in which he or she is enrolled.
(3) If, pursuant to the foregoing audit procedure, any pupils are found that were not identified in the written records of the district or county board by any one or more of grade level, program placement, and the school in which he or she was enrolled, recalculate, consistent with the provisions of Education Code Section 46303, the correct number of units of Average Daily Attendance. Include a statement in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report of the number of pupils and the number of units of Average Daily Attendance that were inappropriately reported for apportionment and an estimate of their dollar value.
(4) Verify the local education agency's calculation, made pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (a) of Education Code Section 51745.6, of ineligible Average Daily Attendance, if any, generated through full-time independent study by pupils 18 years of age or less.
(5) Interview administrative personnel and school counselors of the local education agency to determine if the local education agency had policies and procedures to ensure that any pupil terminating an independent study agreement was permitted to immediately recommence classroom study. 
(6) Interview local education agency administrative personnel as well as a sample of independent study teachers and review written agreements to determine whether it was the local education agency's policy or practice to provide independent study pupils or their parents/guardians with monetary funding or any other things of value such as equipment or paid private instruction. If so, determine whether classroom pupils or their parents/guardians had the same access to funding or things of value. Read program materials provided to all parents/guardians to determine that opportunities were equal and that pupils engaged in independent study were neither offered nor given incentives or special benefits. 
(b) Select a sample of schools that is representative of the local education agency and sufficient in size to allow the auditor to draw a reasonable conclusion with respect to the local education agency's compliance with independent study requirements. Verify that the monthly site summaries used for summarizing attendance provide accurate information by performing the following procedures: 
(1) At each school, examine the attendance accounting records to verify that the attendance of pupils or adult education students or both while engaged in independent study was maintained on separate registers or the local education agency had another mechanism in place to track Average Daily Attendance generated through independent study separately from other Average Daily Attendance. 
(2) Determine the total number of days of attendance reported for each sampled school that resulted from attendance by pupils or adult education students or both while engaged in independent study. Reconcile the monthly totals (days of apportionment attendance) on the site's attendance summary to the summary maintained by the local education agency for the Second Principal and the Annual attendance reports. 
(3) Select a test month in the Second Principal or Annual attendance reporting period. Verify the mathematical accuracy of the monthly report and trace totals to the school's attendance summary. 
(4) Verify that a certificated employee of the local education agency coordinated, evaluated, and provided general supervision, as that term is defined in Section 11700(b), of each pupil's or adult education student's independent study, as required by the provisions of subdivision (a) of Education Code Section 51747.5. 
(5) Select a representative sample of teachers. Verify the mathematical accuracy of the teachers' attendance records of pupil or adult education student attendance. Trace the monthly totals from the monthly report to the attendance records. 
(6) If 100 percent apportionment attendance was recorded for all independent study pupils or adult education students or both, ensure that the teacher did not accrue more days of apportionment credit for any assignment than there were school days in that assignment (“banking”); or accrue days of attendance for work submitted subsequent to the specified due date for the assignment (“make-up”). 
(7) For programs in which hourly attendance accounting is not required pursuant to Section 406, verify that attendance credit was recorded in whole days based on the supervising teacher's personal review, evaluation, and assignment of time value to the pupil's or adult education student's work product, or the supervising teacher's review of the evaluation and assignment of time value made by another certificated teacher. 
(c) From the attendance records, select a representative sample of pupils/adult education students for whom Average Daily Attendance generated through independent study was claimed, including pupils on intermittent (“short term”) independent study if the local education agency offered that option, and perform the following procedures: 
(1) Verify that no pupil was enrolled in the local education agency pursuant to subdivision (b) of Education Code Section 48204 while engaged in full-time independent study. 
(2) Determine each selected pupil's or adult education student's county of residence at the time of commencing independent study and verify that it is the county in which the apportionment claim is reported or a contiguous county within California. 
(3) Determine whether mailing addresses or other evidence of residency changed during the time the pupils/adult education students were in independent study and, if so, whether each pupil or adult education student remained resident of the same or a contiguous county within California. 
(4) Verify that a total of not more than one day of attendance generated through independent study was recorded for each pupil, including pupils enrolled in more than one program, for any calendar day on which school was in session. 
(5) Verify that a written agreement exists for each pupil/adult education student selected. 
(6) Verify that every pupil whose independent study attendance was claimed for apportionment was participating under an agreement for a minimum of five consecutive school days. 
(7) Verify that every written agreement contained all the required elements: 
(A) The manner, time, frequency, and place for submitting a pupil's or adult education student's assignments and for reporting his or her progress. 
(B) The objectives and methods of study (pupil/adult education student activities selected by the supervising teacher as the means to reach the educational objectives set forth in the written agreement) for the pupil's or adult education student's work. 
(C) The methods utilized to evaluate that work (any specified procedure through which a certificated teacher personally assesses the extent to which achievement of the pupils/adult education students meets the objectives set forth in the written assignment). 
(D) The specific resources, including materials and personnel, to be made available to the pupils/adult education students (resources reasonably necessary to the achievement of the objectives in the written agreement, not to exclude resources normally available to all pupils/adult education students on the same terms as the terms on which they are normally available to all pupils/adult education students). 
(E) A statement of the policies adopted pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) of Education Code Section 51747 regarding the maximum length of time allowed between the assignment and the completion of a pupil's or adult education student's assigned work, and the number of assignments a pupil or adult education student may miss before there must be an evaluation of whether it is in the pupil's or adult education student's best interests to continue in independent study. 
(F) The duration of the independent study agreement, including the beginning and ending dates for the pupil's or adult education student's participation in independent study under the agreement, with no agreement being for a period longer than one semester, or one-half year for a school on a year-round calendar. 
(G) A statement of the number of course credits or, for the elementary grades, other measures of academic accomplishment appropriate to the agreement, to be earned by the pupil/adult education student upon completion. 
(H) A statement in each independent study agreement that independent study is an optional educational alternative in which no pupil may be required to participate. In the case of a pupil who is referred or assigned to any school, class, or program pursuant to Section 48915 or 48917, the agreement also shall include the statement that instruction may be provided to the pupil through independent study only if the pupil is offered the alternative of classroom instruction. 
(I) Signatures, affixed prior to the commencement of independent study, by 
1. the pupil or adult education student; 
2. the pupil's parent, legal guardian, or caregiver as that term is used in Family Code Section 6550 and following, if the pupil is less than 18 years of age; 
3. the certificated employee who has been designated as having responsibility for the general supervision of independent study; and 
4. all other persons, if any, who had direct responsibility for providing assistance to the pupil or adult education student. 
(8) Verify that no days of attendance were reported for dates prior to the signing of the agreement by all parties. 
(9) Trace each pupil's or adult education student's attendance from the attendance records to the teacher's register, record of the pupil's or adult education student's work completed, and the corresponding work assignment record. Verify that evaluated pupil/adult education student work samples, bearing signed or initialed and dated notations by the supervising teacher indicating that he or she personally evaluated the work, or that he or she personally reviewed the evaluations made by another certificated teacher, have been retained in the file. 
(10) Verify that the pupil/adult education student work product samples are related to the assignment pursuant to which the work was undertaken and reflect the curriculum adopted by the local governing board and not an alternative curriculum. 
(11) Review records and other relevant documentation to verify that each pupil's choice to commence or to continue in independent study was entirely voluntary and uncoerced. 
(d) If any inappropriately reported units of Average Daily Attendance are identified through the foregoing audit procedures, recalculate, consistent with the provisions of Education Code Section 46303, the correct number of units of Average Daily Attendance. Include a statement in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report of the number of units of Average Daily Attendance that were inappropriately reported for apportionment and an estimate of their dollar value.

(2) Determine, by grade level, the total number of days in each sampled school's attendance calendar that were of at least the minimum length required, pursuant to Education Code sections 46112, 46113, 46114, 46115, 46117, and 46119, for elementary schools, or sections 46141, and 46142, for junior high schools and high schools, and compare the totals to the standards set forth in Education Code section 41420 or 37670, as applicable.
(3) If all sampled regular day schools have fewer than the applicable minimum number of days, determine whether the same is true for all the regular day schools of the district.
(4) If all regular day schools have fewer than the applicable minimum number of days, the district is subject to the penalty provided in subdivision (a) of Education Code Section 41420. Include a statement of that fact and the amount of the penalty in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report.
If the district is not subject to the penalty provided in subdivision (a) of Education Code Section 41420 but is subject to one or more penalties as provided in subdivision (b) of Education Code Section 41420, prepare a separate schedule for each school that was not in compliance showing the number of additional days the school would have had to maintain operations to meet the 175 day requirement, or the 163 day requirement if the school was operated on a multitrack year-round schedule, and calculate the penalty or penalties. Include both the schedule(s) and the amount(s) of the calculated penalty or penalties in a finding in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report.
(5) Compare the amount of time offered for each grade level in each sampled school during the year being audited to the required amount of instructional time as set forth in Education Code Section 46201, and to the amount offered by the district during the 1982-83 year. 
(6) Determine whether the district offered optional classes to satisfy incentive funding requirements. If enrollment in optional classes is low, review the district's documentation of class offerings to ensure that the district has acted effectively to comply with the law. Practices that are not consistent with effectively offering additional instructional time may include, but are not limited to, offering only a small number of courses that in addition are appropriate only for limited numbers of pupils, and courses scheduled such that pupils may take them only by giving up their lunch period or by attending school outside the schedule of district-provided bus service. 
(7) Prepare the “Schedule of Instructional Time” that must be presented in the Supplementary Information section of the audit report, showing by grade level the number(s) of instructional minutes offered by the district in the 1982-83 year; the 1986-87 instructional time requirements specified in Education Code Section 46201; the instructional minutes offered during the year audited showing the school with the lowest number of minutes offered at each grade level; the number of instructional days offered during the year audited on the traditional calendar and on any multitrack calendars; and whether the district complied with the instructional minutes and days provisions. State in a note to the schedule whether the district received incentive funding for increasing instructional time pursuant to the Longer Instructional Day incentives. 
(8) If any schools were not in compliance with the instructional minutes or days provisions, or both, prepare a separate schedule for each school showing only those grade levels that were not in compliance and calculate the penalty or penalties pursuant to Education Code Section 46200(c), 46201(d), or 46202(b).

§19846. After School Education and Safety Program.
Note     •     History

For fiscal years 2007-08 through 2010-11, if the local education agency received After School Education and Safety funds, perform the following procedures:
(a) If the local education agency operated an after school program component: 
(1) Determine whether the local education agency established a policy regarding reasonable early daily release of pupils from the program. 
(2) Select a representative sample of schools for each program type, as that term is used in the attendance report, for which data was reported to the California Department of Education for the after school base grant program. Determine whether the reported number of students served, as that term is used in the report, for each selected school is supported by written records that document pupil participation, by tracing the reported numbers through any documentation used to summarize the numbers of students served, to written data origination documentation. 
(3) For each school selected pursuant to subparagraph (a)(2) of this section, determine whether the after school program commenced every day immediately upon the conclusion of the regular schoolday, operated a minimum of 15 hours per week, and operated until at least 6:00 p.m. every regular schoolday, by reviewing, for example, local policies and procedures, program staffing schedules, sign in/out sheets, program brochures, and other relevant documentation. 
(4) For each school selected pursuant to subparagraph (a)(2) of this section, determine whether elementary school pupils participated in the full day of the after school program on every day during which pupils participated, and determine whether pupils in middle or junior high schools attended the after school program a minimum of nine hours a week or three days a week, except as consistent with the established early release policy.
(5) If any noncompliance is found through the foregoing procedures, include a statement in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report, stating that the local education agency did not have a policy on reasonable early daily release from the after school program, if that is the case, and including discrepancies, if any, between the reported numbers of students served and the totals arising from the supporting documentation; failure to operate consistent with the days/hours requirements set forth in subparagraph (a)(3) of this section, if any; and the portion of reported students served that resulted from attendance, inconsistent with the established early release policy, by elementary school pupils for less than the full day of the after school program, and from attendance by middle or junior high school pupils for less than nine hours a week or fewer than three days a week, if any.
(b) If the local education agency operated a before school program component:
(1) Determine whether the local education agency established a policy regarding reasonable late daily arrival of pupils to the program.
(2) Select a representative sample of schools for each program type, as that term is used in the attendance report, for which data was reported to the California Department of Education for the before school base grant program. Determine whether the reported number of students served, as that term is used in the report, for each selected school is supported by written records that document pupil participation, by tracing the reported numbers through any documentation used to summarize the numbers of students served, to written data origination documentation. 
(3) For each school selected pursuant to subparagraph (b)(2) of this section,

(A) Determine whether the local education agency operated the before school program for not less than one and one-half hours per regular schoolday as specified in Education Code Section 8483.1(a)(1), by reviewing, for example, local policies and procedures, program staffing schedules, sign in/out sheets, program brochures, and other relevant documentation.
(B) Determine whether attendance by pupils for less than one-half of the daily before school program hours was included in the report of students served. 
(C) Determine for any pupils reported on the report of students served who attended for one-half day or more but less than the full day, whether the attendance was consistent with the established late arrival policy.
(4) For each middle or junior high school selected pursuant to subparagraph (b)(2) of this section, determine whether the local education agency has a process or procedure that gives priority for enrollment for pupils who attend daily.
(5) If any noncompliance is identified through the foregoing procedures, include a statement in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report, stating 
(A) that the local education agency did not have a policy on reasonable late daily arrival of pupils to the before school program, if that is the case; 
(B) discrepancies, if any, between the reported numbers of students served and the totals arising from the supporting documentation; 
(C) failure to operate for the required hours each schoolday as set forth in subparagraph (b)(3)(A) of this section, if any; 
(D) the portion of reported students served that resulted from attendance, by pupils attending less than one-half of the daily program hours, if any;
(E) the portion of reported students served that resulted from attendance by pupils who attended for one-half day or more but less than the full day and did not attend consistent with the established late arrival policy;
(F) that the local education agency did not have a process or procedure in place that gives enrollment priority to pupils in middle school or junior high school who attend daily.
(c) General requirements:
(1) Verify that the local education agency contributed cash or in-kind local funds, equal to not less than one-third of the total state grant, which may have originated from the school district, other governmental agencies, community organizations, or the private sector. Facilities or space usage may fulfill not more than 25 percent of the required local contribution.

§19850. Contemporaneous Records of Attendance.
Note     •     History

(a) Determine whether the Second Principal report of attendance submitted to the California Department of Education is supported by written contemporaneous records that document all pupil attendance included in the charter school's Average Daily Attendance calculations, by tracing the Average Daily Attendance numbers from the Second Principal report of attendance through any documentation used by the charter school to summarize attendance, to written contemporaneous data origination documents. 
(b) If any inappropriately reported units of Average Daily Attendance are identified through the foregoing audit procedure, recalculate, consistent with the provisions of Education Code Section 46303, the correct number of units of Average Daily Attendance. Include a statement in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report of the number of units of Average Daily Attendance that were inappropriately reported for apportionment and an estimate of their dollar value. 
(c) For fiscal year 2011-12 only, from the attendance records, select a representative sample of pupils enrolled in any of grades 7 through 12, inclusive, for whom Average Daily Attendance generated through classroom based or nonclassroom-based instruction (independent study) was claimed, and verify for each pupil in the sample who was under age 18 that evidence was on file by the 30th calendar day after the pupil's first day of attendance in school year 2011-12 of 
(1) a pertussis booster vaccine given on or after the pupil's 7th birthday, or 
(2) a pertussis booster immunization exemption statement.
(A) If the exemption from the new pertussis booster requirement was a temporary medical exemption that terminated any time during the 2011-12 school year, verify that evidence is on file that the pupil obtained the required pertussis booster vaccine when the temporary exemption terminated, or filed a permanent medical or personal beliefs exemption by that date. 
(B) If the exemption is based on personal beliefs, the statement must be specific to the new pertussis booster immunization requirement as specified by Title 17, Section 6051.
(d) For each pupil in the sample who was under age 18 who transferred into the charter school, and whose immunization record was not received at the time of entry to the new school, verify that evidence was on file, as provided in Title 17, Section 6070(d), by the 30th school day after the pupil's first day of attendance in school year 2011-12 of compliance with the requirements set forth in (1) or (2) of subparagraph (c) of this section.
(e) If, pursuant to the foregoing audit procedures, any pupils are found who did not have evidence of a pertussis booster vaccine or exemption, verify that attendance was not claimed for pupils on or after the pupil's 31st calendar day of school, or on or after a transfer pupil's 31st school day. Once evidence is provided of the pertussis vaccination or a pertussis booster immunization exemption statement is received, the pupil is no longer excluded from school.
(f) If any inappropriately reported units of Average Daily Attendance are identified through the foregoing audit procedures, recalculate, consistent with the provisions of Education Code Section 46303, the correct number of units of Average Daily Attendance. Include a statement in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report of the number of units of Average Daily Attendance that were inappropriately reported for apportionment and an estimate of their dollar value.

§19852. Nonclassroom-Based Instruction/Independent Study.
Note     •     History

If Average Daily Attendance was reported by the charter school to the California Department of Education as generated through nonclassroom-based instruction (independent study), or was reported as generated through classroom-based instruction but was not generated in compliance with all of the conditions set forth in subdivision (a) of Section 19851, perform the following procedures: 
(a) Determine whether the governing body of the charter school had adopted written policies for independent study as required by the provisions of Education Code Section 51747. If it had not, any reported Average Daily Attendance generated through independent study is not eligible for apportionment. If the required policies were in place, determine whether any reported Average Daily Attendance was generated before the written policies were adopted. Any reported Average Daily Attendance generated through independent study before the written policies were adopted is not eligible for apportionment. 
(b) Verify the charter school's calculation, made pursuant to Section 11704, of ineligible Average Daily Attendance, if any, generated through full-time independent study. 
(c) Verify that the documentation used by the charter school to summarize monthly attendance provides accurate information. If the charter school had multiple sites through which it provided independent study, select a sample of school sites that is representative of the charter school's grade spans (elementary, middle, and high schools) and sufficient in size to allow the auditor to draw a reasonable conclusion with respect to the charter school's compliance with independent study requirements. Perform the following procedures: 
(1) Determine the total number of days of attendance reported for each sampled site that resulted from attendance by pupils while engaged in independent study. Reconcile the monthly totals (days of apportionment attendance) on the site's attendance summary to the summary maintained by the charter school for the Second Principal attendance report. 
(2) Select a test month in the Second Principal attendance reporting period. Verify the mathematical accuracy of the monthly report, or its equivalent if no monthly report is prepared, and trace totals to the site's attendance summary. 
(3) Verify that a certificated employee of the charter school, as defined by Section 11700.1, coordinated, evaluated, and provided general supervision, as that term is defined in Section 11700(b), of each pupil's independent study, as required by the provisions of subdivision (a) of Education Code Section 51747.5. 
(4) Select a representative sample of teachers. Verify the mathematical accuracy of the teachers' attendance records of pupil attendance. Trace the monthly totals from the monthly report to the attendance records. 
(d) From the attendance records, select a representative sample of pupils for whom Average Daily Attendance generated through independent study was claimed, including pupils on intermittent (“short term”) independent study, if the charter school offered that option, and perform the following procedures: 
(1) Determine each pupil's county of residence at the time of commencing independent study and verify that it is the county in which the apportionment claim is reported or a contiguous county within California. 
(2) Determine whether mailing addresses or other evidence of residency changed during the time the pupils were in independent study and, if so, whether each pupil remained a resident of the same or a contiguous county within California. 
(3) Verify that, on each day for which a pupil's attendance was reported, the pupil engaged in an educational activity or activities required of him or her by the charter school. 
(4) Verify that each day of each pupil's attendance included in calculations of Average Daily Attendance took place on one of the charter school's schooldays. 
(5) Verify that a total of not more than one day of attendance was recorded for each pupil for any calendar day on which school was in session. 
(6) Verify that a written agreement exists for each pupil. 
(7) Verify that every written agreement contained all the elements required by the provisions of Education Code Section 51747(c): 
(A) The manner, time, frequency, and place for submitting a pupil's assignments and for reporting his or her progress. 
(B) The objectives and methods of study (pupil activities selected by the supervising teacher as the means to reach the educational objectives set forth in the written agreement) for the pupil's work. 
(C) The methods utilized to evaluate that work (any specified procedure through which a certificated teacher personally assesses the extent to which achievement of the pupils meets the objectives set forth in the written assignment). 
(D) The specific resources, including materials and personnel, to be made available to the pupils (resources reasonably necessary to the achievement of the objectives in the written agreement, not to exclude resources normally available to all pupils on the same terms as the terms on which they are normally available to all pupils). 
(E) A statement of the policies adopted pursuant to the provisions of subdivisions (a) and (b) of Education Code Section 51747 regarding the maximum length of time allowed between the assignment and the completion of a pupil's assigned work, and the number of assignments a pupil may miss before there must be an evaluation of whether it is in the pupil's best interests to continue in independent study. 
(F) The duration of the independent study agreement, including the beginning and ending dates for the pupil's participation in independent study under the agreement, with no agreement being for a period longer than one semester, or one-half year for a school on a year-round calendar. 
(G) A statement of the number of course credits or, for the elementary grades, other measures of academic accomplishment appropriate to the agreement, to be earned by the pupil upon completion. 
(H) A statement in each independent study agreement that independent study is an optional educational alternative in which no pupil may be required to participate. 
(I) Signatures, affixed prior to the commencement of independent study, by 
1. the pupil; 
2. the pupil's parent, legal guardian, or caregiver as that term is used in Family Code Section 6550 and following, if the pupil was less than 18 years of age; 
3. the certificated employee who was designated as having responsibility for the general supervision of the pupil's independent study; and
4. all other persons, if any, who had direct responsibility for providing assistance to the pupil. 
(8) Verify that no days of attendance were reported for dates prior to the signing of the agreement by all parties.

§19853. Determination of Funding for Nonclassroom-Based Instruction.
Note     •     History

If more than 20 percent of the charter school's total Average Daily Attendance was generated through nonclassroom-based instruction (independent study) as set forth in Section 19852, perform the following procedures: 
(a) Determine whether the charter school has 
(1) a multi-year funding determination, made pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (d) of Education Code Section 47612.5 and of Section 47634.2, that applies to the year being audited and that was granted in a year prior to the year being audited, or 
(2) a funding determination otherwise applicable to the year audited. 
(b) If the charter school does not have either type of funding determination specified in subdivision (a) of this section, the charter school was not eligible for funding for any Average Daily Attendance generated through nonclassroom-based instruction. Include a statement in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report of the number of units of Average Daily Attendance that were inappropriately reported for apportionment and an estimate of their dollar value. 
(c) If the charter school has a funding determination as specified in subdivision (a)(2) of this section, and the charter school was in operation in the fiscal year prior to the year being audited, verify the accuracy of the following data submitted by the charter school to the California Department of Education on the nonclassroom-based funding determination form applicable to the year being audited:

§19854. Annual Instructional Minutes -- Classroom Based.
Note     •     History

For fiscal year 2011-12 only, do not perform the procedures set forth in this section. Perform the procedures set forth in Section 19854.1 instead.
(a) Review the charter school's attendance calendar and bell (class) schedules or other available comparable documentation. If the charter school has multiple sites, select a sample of school sites that is representative of the charter school's grade spans (elementary, middle, and high schools). 
(b) For each sampled site, compare the amount of instructional minutes offered for each grade level during the year being audited to the amount of instructional minutes required pursuant to the provisions of subdivision (a)(1) of Education Code Section 47612.5 as set forth below for fiscal years 2005-06 through 2008-09: 

	Kindergarten 	36,000 minutes
	Grades 1 through 3 	50,400 minutes
	Grades 4 through 8 	54,000 minutes 
	Grades 9 through 12 	64,800 minutes 
For fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11, and fiscal years 2012-13 through 2014-15, the minimum instructional time is reduced pursuant to the provisions of Education Code Section 46201.2 and consistent with subdivision (a) of Education Code Section 46201.3, as set forth below: 

	Kindergarten 	34,971 minutes 
	Grades 1 through 3 	48,960 minutes 
	Grades 4 through 8 	52,457 minutes 
	Grades 9 through 12	62,949 minutes
(c) Determine whether the charter school offered optional classes to satisfy instructional minutes requirements. If enrollment in optional classes was low, review the charter school's documentation of class offerings to ensure that the charter school acted effectively to comply with the law. Practices that are not consistent with effectively offering instructional time may include, but are not limited to, offering only a small number of courses that in addition are appropriate only for limited numbers of pupils, and courses scheduled such that pupils may take them only by giving up their lunch period. 
(d) Prepare the “Schedule of Instructional Time” that must be presented in the Supplementary Information section of the audit report, showing by grade span the minimum instructional minutes requirements specified in subdivision (a)(1) of Education Code Section 47612.5 for fiscal years 2005-06 through 2008-09, or for fiscal years 2009-10 and 2010-11, and fiscal years 2012-13 through 2014-15, the minimum instructional time as reduced pursuant to the provisions of Education Code Section 46201.2 as set forth in subparagraph (b) of this section, the instructional minutes offered during the year being audited showing the sampled site with the lowest number of minutes offered at each grade span; and whether the charter school complied with the instructional minutes provisions. 
(e) If the charter school did not offer the required number(s) of instructional minutes, prepare a separate schedule for each site, showing only the grade level(s) that were not in compliance, and calculate a proportional reduction in apportionment consistent with the provisions of subdivision (c) of Education Code Section 47612.5. Include both the schedule(s) and the calculated reduction in apportionment, in a finding in the Findings and Recommendations section of the audit report.

§20203. Residency.

For purposes of this Article, each resident of the State shall be deemed to have a single legal residency, which shall entitle him/her to resident library services of the jurisdiction in which he/she resides, and such services shall not be reimbursable under this Article. In determining the places of residency, the following rules as excepted from Government Code section 244 shall be observed:

(b) There can be only one residence.
(c) A residence cannot be lost until another is gained.
(d) The residence of the parent with whom an unmarried minor child maintains his or her place of abode is the residence of such unmarried minor child.

(d) All materials normally loaned by a participating public library are available for loan to non-residents under the same rules and policies applied to local residents.
(e) All loan and return rules governing circulation apply equally to residents and non-residents. If overdue materials are returned to a library other than the library from which borrowed, fines may be paid to and retained by the library to which the return is made. Payments for lost or damaged material are payable to the lending library, and are to be forwarded by the library to which payment is made.
(f) Special loan privileges extended by the participating public library to teachers and other groups within its jurisdiction need not be extended beyond the jurisdiction.
§20205. Non-Resident Borrower Eligibility.

An eligible non-resident borrower must be a resident of California,
(a) Hold a valid borrowers card issued by his/her home library, or (b) Hold or obtain a valid non-resident borrowers card issued by any California public library, or
(c) Hold a valid state borrowers identification card issued by any California public library;
(d) And present any additional identification normally required by a library of its own residents.
(e) Nothing in this section shall prevent the issuing of a non-resident card or charging of fees to a resident of another state, except that loans to such non-residents shall not be counted as reimbursable transactions.
§20206. Valid Identification.

The lending library must be supplied with the name and current address of the borrower and the name of the library jurisdiction in which the borrower maintains his or her legal residency.
§20210. Exchange of Local Funds Prohibited.

Libraries participating in direct loan programs authorized by the Act, shall not charge other jurisdictions for borrowing privileges extended to their residents, except that contracts for loan or other services provided within a defined geographic area by a library jurisdiction to residents of another jurisdiction not served by their library jurisdiction are not prohibited. Persons served under such contracts are to be registered as residents of the jurisdiction providing the contract service.
§20211. Maintenance of Local Service Standards.

It is the intent of this Article that local service standards be maintained:
(a) Extension of borrowing privileges by libraries to non-residents, should not adversely affect the level of service provided by the home library to its own residents.
(b) No library jurisdiction may reduce or fail to maintain or improve the level of service to its residents for the purpose of placing undue reliance on the library services of neighboring library jurisdictions.
§20215. Reimbursement for Net Direct Loans.

Loan of a library material of any type by a participating public library to an eligible nonresident borrower shall result in reimbursement from the state under Education Code Sections 18731 and 18743 to the extent that the number of such loans exceeds the number of items borrowed by that library jurisdiction's residents from other participating public libraries, during a specific reporting period.
§20216. Reporting Requirements.

To obtain reimbursement, participating public libraries shall provide reports in the form and manner, and for the period required. Reports must be submitted by established deadlines. Records in support of claims for state funds must be maintained for four years. 
§20217. Reimbursable Costs.

Reimbursable costs, expressed on a unit basis, are those handling costs incurred by the lending library in processing a direct loan to a non-resident. The State Board shall periodically review, at least once a year, and approve such cost data, but the reimbursement rate, as adopted, shall be uniform statewide.
Article 7. Communication and Delivery
§20235. Definition of Reporting Terms.
Note     •     History

In complying with the reporting requirements of Section 20135 each system shall report the following items using the following definitions with respect to the communication and delivery programs:
(a) “Message” means the transmission of a discrete body of information from one library to another by means of a telecommunications system to a single individual or institutional addressee. Many separate items of information may be contained in a single message. The same body of information transmitted to several addressees at physically distinct locations constitutes several, not one, messages. Written information physically conveyed by delivery van, U.S. Mail, or other courier services is not considered a “message” for communications and delivery reporting purposes.
(b) “Item delivered” means the physical removal of a discrete item from one library to another by means of a delivery van, U.S. Mail, courier service, or other delivery system. Reasonable judgement shall be exercised in determining particular “items” status (e.g., a carton containing 10,000 brochures is one--not 10,000 items).
(c) “Frequency/schedule of delivery service” means that specific (daily, twice weekly, weekly, etc.) frequency of delivery service received by member libraries. If not all members receive the same frequency of delivery service the number of member libraries served on each differing schedule must be reported.
(d) “Other” means that when a system employs communications or delivery methods other than those specifically cited on the standard reporting forms, the system must specify the method(s) employed and separately account for the message or delivery volume for each such method.

§20252. Intent.

It is the intent of this program of the Act to support the sharing of library resources through interlibrary loan. Library materials needed by a library user and not available in that user's library will be made available to the user via interlibrary loan.
§20255. Eligibility.

(a) Public Libraries. Any public library as defined in Education Code section 18710(l), which has been authorized by its jurisdiction to participate in programs of the Act must participate in the interlibrary loan programs of the Act.
(b) Libraries Other Than Public Libraries. To be eligible to participate these libraries must be authorized by their own administrative authorities to do so and must file the proper notice with the State Board as outlined in section 20105(c). Further, a library, other than a public library, may be eligible for a reimbursement only for a loan to an eligible public library. Libraries, other than public libraries, which can become eligible for participation in the interlibrary loan reimbursement programs of the Act include only the following:
(1) Libraries operated by public schools or school districts. These libraries include only those defined in Education Code section 18710(m).
(2) Libraries operated by public colleges or universities. These include those academic libraries (Education Code section 18710(a)) which are funded primarily with public funds. Academic libraries potentially eligible for these programs include the libraries of the University of California, of the State University and College System, and of the California Community Colleges.
(3) Libraries operated by public agencies for institutionalized persons. Libraries for the institutionalized include hospital, correctional, and residential treatment facility libraries which are funded primarily with public funds (i.e. local, state, or federal tax monies).
(4) Libraries operated by nonprofit private educational or research institutions. These libraries include those operated by private colleges and universities which maintain nonprofit status under provisions of the federal Internal Revenue Service or the California Franchise Tax laws. These libraries also include those operated by private companies which are primarily devoted to educational or research purposes and which maintain nonprofit status under provisions of the federal Internal Revenue Service or the California Franchise Tax laws. Such libraries may be required by the State Board to furnish proof of their nonprofit status in addition to any other required notices and forms.
§20257. Reimbursable Transaction.

An interlibrary transaction can result in reimbursement under Education Code sections 18744 and 18765 if it consists of the loan of a library material of any type which is collected by a library or if it consists of the provision of a copy in lieu of loan of a library material, from any eligible, participating lending library to any eligible public library as defined in section 20255 and in Education Code sections 18744 and 18765.
§20260. Reimbursable Costs.

Reimbursable costs are only those handling costs which a lending library incurs in filling a successfully completed interlibrary loan transaction. The State Board shall periodically, and at least annually, review and approve the cost data and determine an appropriate funding formula which shall be uniform statewide.
§20265. Participation Requirements.

Participating libraries, both public and nonpublic, shall conform to the following requirements:
(a) Reporting. To obtain reimbursement a library shall provide by the deadline reporting date, all required reports of its interlibrary loan transactions in an established form and manner determined by the Board for the period required.
(b) Audit. For audit purposes, a record of the interlibrary loan transactions must be maintained for four years.
(c) Fees. A library providing an item for interlibrary loan may not collect a handling fee on a transaction for which that library claims an interlibrary loan reimbursement under provisions of this article. A photocopy fee, exclusive of photocopy handling charge, may be collected.
(d) Direct Loan Availability. Participating libraries shall make maximum use of available bibliographic access tools to refer users to borrow directly from nearby libraries where requested material is easily available, rather than to process an interlibrary loan.
(e) Responsibility for Borrowed Materials. The borrowing library shall be responsible for all items it borrows, and if such item is lost or damaged by the library or its users, the borrowing library may be required by the lending library to make restitution for the item.
(f) Adherence to Standards. All participating libraries shall attempt to follow the standards described in the “California Library Services Act Interlibrary Loan Standards,” which is hereby incorporated by reference. The State Board may withhold reimbursements to libraries which continually fail to meet the standards of performance.

Therefore, the terms of 2 Cal. Code of Regulations Section 18730 and any amendments to it duly adopted by the Fair Political Practices Commission, along with the attached Appendix in which officials and employees are designated and disclosure categories are set forth, are hereby incorporated by reference.

(b) Filing Requirements. Designated individuals shall file statements of economic interests with CalSTRS, pursuant to Section 4 of the Standard Code. CalSTRS shall make such statements available for public inspection and reproduction.

With respect to officials who are determined to manage public investments, within the meaning of Government Code Section 87200, they shall also be required to file statement of economic interests (contractors who fall within the meaning of managing public investments shall also be required to file statements of economic interests). Upon receipt of the statements of economic interests of Board Members, representatives of Ex-Officio Board Members, Chief Executive Officer, Chief Investment Officer, Directors of all programs of CalSTRS' Investment Branch, and others falling within the designation of officials who are determined to manage public investments, CalSTRS shall make and retain a copy and forward the original of these statements to the Fair Political Practices Commission. Statements of all other designated employees will be retained by CalSTRS.

The written protest shall be identified using the word “protest”, shall specify the election, and shall state the grounds of the protest and suggested remedy.  
Upon receipt of a valid and timely protest, the Election Coordinator shall mail a copy of the request to all candidates in the election and notify the Board and other interested parties that a protest has been filed. 
An ad-hoc committee of the Board consisting of an odd number of members no fewer than three shall determine, what remedy, if any, shall be granted to the candidate filing the protest. No Board member who is a candidate in the election under protest, or has endorsed a candidate in the election under protest may become a member of the committee or participate in its selection. 
The Board chairperson shall appoint Board members to the committee. If the Board chairperson is a candidate or has endorsed a candidate in the election under protest, the Board vice chairperson shall appoint Board members to the committee. If the Board vice chairperson is a candidate or has endorsed a candidate in the election under protest, the Board shall appoint from its number, members to the committee at its next regularly scheduled meeting. 
If a minimum of three Board members are not eligible to participate on the ad-hoc committee, or if a majority of the full Board, excluding candidates but including endorsers of candidates so directs, the protest shall instead be determined by a panel of three arbitrators in accordance with the provisions below, the laws of the State of California, and the Labor Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in effect at the time, to the extent the AAA rules are not in conflict with these regulations. One member of the panel shall be selected by the protesting candidate, one member of the panel shall be selected by the successful candidate, and the third member, who shall serve as chair, shall be selected by the first two panel members. 
The committee may consider written and/or oral arguments submitted by the candidate filing the protest and any other interested party, in making its determination. Any oral proceedings by the committee shall be held in the Board's meeting room and be open to the public. Other procedures, including those for receiving and considering arguments and factual allegations, shall be determined by the committee or arbitration panel in its sole discretion. 
The determination of the committee or arbitration panel shall be rendered within 30 calendar days of its appointment and shall be final and binding on the System and candidates for office. The committee or arbitration panel shall declare the election under protest void, and the position vacant, only upon a finding that Board-adopted election procedures were not substantially followed and that, without this lack of substantial compliance, the election outcome would likely have been different.  
The filing of a protest shall not delay the seating of an elected Board member. Such elected Board member shall take office on either the day provided for by statute or immediately, if elected to fill a vacancy, subject to the potential termination of such Board membership as a result of the protest. Any newly elected member, as the result of a protest, shall hold office for a period equal to the remainder of the term of the vacated office.

Note     •     History

(a) Any applicant who disagrees with a Decision, excluding audit findings as referenced in section 27102, may request a review of that Decision by the Program Executive. The request for review must:
(1) Be made in writing;
(2) Be addressed to the Program Executive;
(3) State all facts, any basis in the Education Code or other law that applicant believes are relevant, and any other pertinent information, which may include but is not limited to medical records, which the applicant relies on to dispute the Decision.
(A) The stated facts, law, and pertinent information, which may include but is not limited to medical records, must be submitted with all documentary evidence applicable to the disputed Decision. If there is no documentary evidence, the writing should expressly state there is an absence of such evidence.
(B) It is the applicant's burden to show that the facts, law, and pertinent information would provide a legal basis for CalSTRS to reverse the Decision.
(4) Within forty-five (45) days after the date of the disputed  written Decision, be received by the System Headquarters or by a  CalSTRS Field Office or at the following email address:  [CalSTRSInternalReview@calstrs.com].
(b) CalSTRS will inform the applicant of the applicant's right to an administrative hearing. CalSTRS will also refer the applicant to the Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) for information pertaining to administrative hearings, notify the applicant that the applicant has a right to self-representation or counsel at their own expense and that CalSTRS will be represented by counsel.
(c) If the applicant's request for review by a Program Executive (“Executive Review”) does not contain additional information or legal basis for review beyond the facts and/or documentary evidence previously provided to or obtained by the program area and merely repeats information previously provided, the applicant's request for Executive Review by the Program Executive shall be denied and the applicant may request an administrative hearing. The Program Executive may consult with CalSTRS staff prior to denying applicant's request for Executive Review.
(d) If the Program Executive determines that the applicant has provided sufficient additional information or legal basis for review, the Program Executive will review the Decision and make one of the following Determinations:
(1) Based upon review of the law and facts, including any additional information provided by applicant, applicant has not provided a legal basis to reverse the Decision and has therefore failed to meet his or her legal burden. The Program Executive shall inform the party in writing of the Determination and the applicant's right to an administrative hearing.
(2) Informal fact finding is necessary in regard to the applicant's dispute with the Decision and the matter is referred to staff for investigation. The informal factual investigation may include, but is not limited to, inquiries made to the applicant and requests for further documentary evidence pursuant to Education Code sections 22207, 22250, 22450, 24003, 24103, and 26002. The applicant must in good faith cooperate with and respond to staff.
(A) The applicant must respond in writing, either through mail, facsimile or email, to any inquiries made and/or requests for further documentary evidence. If the applicant fails to respond in writing or produce documentary evidence within forty-five (45) days after the inquiry or request was made, the applicant shall be deemed to have waived the right to pursue any additional administrative remedies. Accordingly, the Decision will be deemed to be a Determination by the Program Executive.
(B) At the discretion of the Program Executive an extension to respond to any inquiries made and/or requests for further documentary evidence may be granted if the request for an extension is made prior to the last day to respond, in writing, and received at the System Headquarters, at a CalSTRS field office, or at the following email address: [CalSTRSInternalReview@calstrs.com].
(C) Upon completion of the informal factual investigation, the Program Executive will conduct a review of the additional information, the legal basis for review that applicant believes are relevant, and the information gathered through investigation. The review may include consultation with, including but not limited to, staff, the Ombudsman, a Legal Services representative, and a representative from the relevant program area.

Note

A suspension removes an institution's eligibility to participate in the CELP for a period of not longer than sixty (60) days.

A suspension bars any further CELP processing or guarantee of loans to be made to borrowers to cover the cost of attending a suspended school or to be made by a suspended lender or school lender and bars delivery by a suspended school of any CELP checks.
Suspension does not bar disbursement or delivery of loans guaranteed prior to the suspension by a suspended lender or school lender or by a suspended school, unless specifically so provided in the order of suspension.

A (number of additional awards requested by the eligible institution or participating district intern program office) / B (the total additional awards requested by all eligible institutions or participating district intern program offices) x C (the number of unutilized awards) = number of additional awards granted to an eligible institution or participating district intern program office
If A = 100, B = 500, and C = 100 
A/B x C = 
(100/500) x (100) = 20
In this example, the first 20 eligible applicants from the reallocation list would be given an award
(d) All invalid awards shall be cancelled. No invalid awards shall be reallocated.
(e) The Commission will send each eligible institution, eligible school district, and participating district intern program that submit nominations pursuant to Section 30702 an Institutional Acceptance Report identifying the nominees that have been accepted into the program.

(b) Additional Definitions. The following definitions shall also apply to the Golden State Scholarshare Trust Program:
Account--means an account established under the Act.
Account owner--means the “participant” as defined in Section 69980 of the Education Code. An account owner who is an individual (other than an individual who is a custodian under the California Uniform Transfers to Minors Act) is specifically referred to in these regulations as an “individual account owner.” An account owner who is a custodian under the California Uniform Transfers to Minors Act is specifically referred to in these regulations as a “custodial account owner.” An account owner that is a trust, estate, partnership, association, company or corporation, or a state or local government agency, is specifically referred to in these regulations as an “entity account owner.” Account owner includes the legal representative of an account owner.
Annual Report--means a statement meeting the requirements of Section 69990 of the Education Code.
Business day--means any day that the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) is open. The close of a business day is the time that the NYSE closes for that day.
California Uniform Transfers to Minors Act--means the act by that name that is contained in Part 9 (commencing with Section 3900) of Division 4 of the California Probate Code.
Cash--shall include but not be limited to checks (except for travelers checks, third-party checks exceeding $10,000, money orders, or cashier's checks), rollover distributions, payroll deduction, automatic contribution plan, and electronic funds transfers. Cash does not include property.
Contribution--means cash deposited into an account.
Distributee--means the designated beneficiary or the account owner who receives or is treated as receiving a distribution from the Scholarshare trust.
Distribution--means any disbursement from an account.

A legal representative of an account owner shall provide to the program administrator's designee a document establishing the authority of the legal representative to so act that is signed by the account owner, or a court order establishing the authority of the legal representative to so act. The document or court order must be dated within sixty (60) days of receipt by the Scholarshare trust. The program administrator's designee shall rely conclusively upon the document or court order until the earlier of its stated expiration date or the date of receipt by the program administrator's designee of a document or court order terminating the authority evidenced thereby. The legal representative of an account owner shall be deemed to be acting for or on behalf of the account owner in the account owner's legal capacity. 
Non-qualified distribution--means any distribution from an account other than 1) a qualified distribution; or 2) a withdrawal by reason of the death or disability of the designated beneficiary of the account or a scholarship received by the designated beneficiary to the extent that the amount distributed does not exceed the amount of the scholarship, all as provided in Section 30954(d); or 3) a rollover distribution.

Rollover distribution--means a distribution or transfer from an account for a current designated beneficiary that is transferred or deposited within sixty (60) days of the distribution into an account for another designated beneficiary who is a member of the family of the current designated beneficiary. A distribution is not a rollover distribution unless there is a change of designated beneficiary except that a change of designated beneficiary is not required for a distribution or transfer that occurs between qualified tuition programs, provided that such a distribution or transfer cannot occur more than once within a twelve-month period from the date of a previous distribution or transfer by the account owner for the same designated beneficiary. For rollover distributions that involve a change of designated beneficiary, the newly designated beneficiary's account may be an account established under the Act or established within another qualified tuition program and the account owner must certify in the written request for the rollover distribution that the new beneficiary is a member of the family of the current beneficiary. If the rollover distribution is by a state or local government agency or an entity described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and identified in Section 30959(a)(2), the newly designated beneficiary can not be a member of the family of the current designated beneficiary and the account owner must so certify in the written request.

An entity account owner may transfer ownership of an account to another eligible account owner at any time by submitting a written request to the program administrator's designee with substantiation that the change of ownership is authorized by the entity and that the signer of the request is authorized to conduct the transaction.

The contingent account owner designation may be revoked by the individual account owner at any time by submitting to the program administrator another written request that either designates a new contingent account owner or revokes all previous designation(s) of a contingent account owner. Upon the death of the individual account owner who has in effect a designation of a contingent account owner, the assets of the account shall not be deemed assets of the estate of such deceased account owner for any purpose. The change of ownership shall not be effective until the successor account owner has submitted to the program administrator's designee a certified copy of a death certificate sufficiently identifying the deceased by name and Social Security number, or such other proof of death as is recognized under applicable law and is acceptable to the program administrator, and a completed participation agreement signed by the successor account owner.

The program administrator's designee shall not implement a change in ownership (other than a change in ownership described in paragraph (d) of this Section) without first receiving a written request signed by the account owner of record, a court order, or an affidavit or declaration as herein described.

§30957. Dispute Resolution.
Note     •     History

(a) Optional Pre-Arbitration Procedure. In the event a controversy or claim arises out of or relates to a participation agreement, the account owner or designated beneficiary may elect to discuss the matter informally with the program administrator or his or her designee. If the dispute is not resolved to the satisfaction of the account owner or designated beneficiary, the account owner or designated beneficiary may send a letter explaining the dispute to the Executive Director of the ScholarShare Investment Board. The Executive Director or his or her designee shall meet in person or by telephone with the account owner or designated beneficiary within ten (10) working days of receipt of the letter from the account owner or designated beneficiary or such longer period as may be mutually acceptable, and the Executive Director or his or her designee shall mail a written decision, and the reasons therefor, to the account owner or designated beneficiary within twenty (20) working days of the meeting. The procedure set forth in this paragraph is not a substitute for mandatory arbitration, which is required by paragraph (b) below. The procedure set forth in this paragraph is an informal process that may resolve controversies and claims and make arbitration unnecessary.
(b) Arbitration Mandatory. Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any participation agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association, and judgement on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
(c) Arbitration Clause and Disclosure. Every participation agreement shall include the following arbitration clause and disclosure language. The arbitration clause and the disclosure language shall be underlined or printed in bold face type.
Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this participation agreement, or the breach, termination or validity thereof, shall be settled by arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
The foregoing is a predispute arbitration clause. By signing an arbitration agreement, the parties agree as follows:
(1) All parties to this agreement are giving up the right to sue each other in court, including the right to a trial by jury, except as provided by the rules of the American Arbitration Association.
(2) Arbitration awards are generally final and binding; a party's ability to have a court reverse or modify an arbitration award is limited.
(3) The ability of the parties to obtain documents, witness statements and other discovery is generally more limited in arbitration than in court proceedings.
(4) The arbitrators do not have to explain the reason(s) for their award.
(5) The rules of the American Arbitration Association may impose time limits for bringing a claim in arbitration.
(d) Predispute Arbitration Clause Disclosure. Immediately preceding the signature line on the participation agreement there shall be a statement, which shall be highlighted, that the agreement contains a predispute arbitration clause. The statement shall also indicate at what page and paragraph the arbitration clause is located.
(e) Copy of Agreement to Account Owner. Upon request by an account owner, the program administrator or his or her designee shall provide the account owner with a copy of the participation agreement executed by the account owner, within ten (10) business days of receipt of the account owner's request.
(f) Information Upon Request. Upon request by an account owner, the program administrator or his or her designee shall provide the account owner with information on how to contact or obtain the rules of the American Arbitration Association.

Note     •     History

(a) Rollover Distribution From Another Qualified Tuition Program. An account owner (other than a custodial account owner) may make a rollover distribution at any time from another qualified tuition program to an account, either owned by the same or a different account owner, by submitting a written request to the program administrator's designee and by complying with applicable federal and state law governing this transaction. The rollover distribution shall be effective provided that the transfer of funds does not cause the aggregate amount of contributions held for the new designated beneficiary to exceed the maximum account balance limit applicable to that beneficiary.
(b) Rollover of Account Funds Methods. A rollover of account funds from another qualified tuition program shall be effective through a direct transfer of funds from the other qualified tuition program to an account, or as a deposit of the funds by the account owner into an account within 60 days of withdrawal of the funds from the other qualified tuition program. Both the direct transfer of funds and the deposit of funds by the account owner must be accompanied by a written statement from the other qualified tuition program that identifies the portion of the amount directly transferred, or deposited, that represents contributions and the portion of the amount that represents earnings.
(c) Limitation of Rollover of Account Funds to Savings Program. A rollover distribution from another qualified tuition program shall not be accepted unless the funds are transferred from a tuition savings account as defined in Section 529(b)(1)(A)(ii) of the Internal Revenue Code.
(d) Transfer of Account Funds as Rollover Distribution. An account owner (other than a custodial account owner) may transfer funds from an account to another account either owned by the same or a different account owner at any time by submitting a written request to the program administrator's designee. The transfer of account funds shall be effective provided that: (1) the funds are transferred to an account for a new designated beneficiary who is a member of the family of the designated beneficiary of the account from which the funds are being transferred and the account owner so certifies in the written request (unless the entity making the rollover distribution is a state or local government agency or an entity described in Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code and identified in Section 30959(a)(2) in which case the account owner must certify that the newly designated beneficiary is not a member of the family of the current beneficiary); and (2) the transfer of funds does not cause the aggregate amount of contributions held for the new designated beneficiary to exceed the maximum account balance limit applicable to that beneficiary.
(e) Execution of New Participation Agreement. Any rollover distribution that is intended to transfer funds to a new account not yet established under the Act shall not be effective until the account owner who is to receive the transferred funds has submitted to the program administrator's designee a completed and signed participation agreement for the new account and the account has been established.
(f) Rollover Distribution to Another Qualified State Tuition Program. An account owner (other than a custodial account owner) may make a rollover distribution at any time from an account to another qualified tuition program by submitting a written request to the program administrator's designee and by complying with applicable federal and state law governing this transaction.
(1) The program administrator's designee shall treat the rollover distribution as a non-qualified distribution unless the program administrator's designee receives confirmation that the amount of the distribution has been deposited in another qualified tuition program within sixty (60) days of distribution from the account.
(g) Rollover Distributions Requested By Entity Account Owners. An entity account owner must provide with the written request for a rollover distribution substantiation that the rollover distribution is authorized by the entity and that the signer of the written request is authorized to conduct the transaction.

§40405. General Education--Breadth Objectives.
Note     •     History

General education-breadth requirements in The California State University are so designed that, taken with the major depth program and elective credits presented by each candidate for the bachelor's degree, they will assure that graduates from the several campuses in the system have made noteworthy progress toward becoming truly educated persons. Particularly, the purpose of the breadth requirements is to provide means whereby graduates:
(a) will have achieved the ability to think clearly and logically, to find and critically examine information, to communicate orally and in writing, and to perform quantitative functions;
(b) will have acquired appreciable knowledge about their own bodies and minds, about how human society has developed and how it now functions, about the physical world in which they live, about the other forms of life with which they share that world, and about the cultural endeavors and legacies of their civilizations;
(c) will have come to an understanding and appreciation of the principles, methodologies, value systems, and thought processes employed in human inquiries.
It is the intent of this section that the general education-breadth requirements be planned and organized in such a manner that students will acquire the abilities, knowledge, understanding, and appreciation suggested as interrelated elements and not as isolated fragments.
There are three acceptable programs: The California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements (Section 40405.1), the Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum (Section 40405.2), and General Education Reciprocity with the University of California (Section 40405.3).

(a) Each recipient of the bachelor's degree completing the California State University General Education-Breadth Requirements pursuant to this subdivision (a) shall have completed a program which includes a minimum of 48 semester units or 72 quarter units of which 9 semester units or 12 quarter units shall be upper division level and shall be taken no sooner than the term in which the candidate achieves upper division status. At least 9 of the 48 semester units or 12 of the 72 quarter units shall be earned at the campus granting the degree. The 48 semester units or 72 quarter units shall be distributed as follows:
(1) A minimum of 9 semester units or 12 quarter units in communication in the English language, to include both oral communication and written communication, and in critical thinking, to include consideration of common fallacies in reasoning.

The specification of numbers of units implies the right of discretion on each campus to adjust reasonably the proportions among the categories in order that the conjunction of campus courses, credit unit configurations and these requirements will not unduly exceed any of the prescribed semester or quarter unit minima. However, the total number of units in General Education-Breadth accepted for the bachelor's degree under the provisions of this subdivision (a) should not be less than 48 semester units or 72 quarter units.
(b) The president or an officially authorized representative of a college which is accredited in a manner stated in Section 40601 (d) (1) may certify the extent to which the requirements of subdivision (a) of this section have been met up to a maximum of 39 semester units (or 58 quarter units). Such certification shall be in terms of explicit objectives and procedures issued by the Chancellor.

(a) The term “systemwide lower-division transfer pattern by major” means a set of lower-division curricular specifications comprising at least 45 semester units but no more than 60 semester units that will be accepted at every CSU campus offering a program leading to that degree and major. Each unit that a student completes in the systemwide lower-division transfer pattern by major reduces by one unit the total number of units that the student must complete to earn that degree with that major. A systemwide lower-division transfer pattern by major will ordinarily include courses that fulfill General Education-Breadth or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum requirements; United States History, Constitution, and American Ideals requirements; and major-specific, lower-division requirements. A course in a systemwide lower-division transfer pattern by major may contribute to completion of more than one requirement.
(b) The term “campus-specific lower-division transfer pattern by major” means a set of lower-division curricular specifications beyond the systemwide lower-division transfer pattern by major, comprising units that will be accepted at a particular CSU campus offering a program leading to that degree and major. Each unit that a student completes in the campus-specific lower-division transfer pattern by major reduces by one unit the total number of units that the student must complete to earn that degree with that major.
(c) For purposes of this article, majors are distinguished by the CSU program code assigned to them and the degrees to which they lead.
(d) For purposes of this article, a major will be considered high-priority if it meets criteria established by the Chancellor. In establishing criteria, the Chancellor shall consider (1) the number of CSU campuses at which the major is offered and (2) the proportion of the undergraduate student body enrolled in the major at the CSU campuses offering that major.

Article 9. Requirements for Admission to Teacher Basic Credential Programs and Student Teaching and Recommendation for Teaching Credential
§41100. Admission to Teacher Education Basic Credential Program.
Note     •     History

To be admitted to a teacher education basic credential program, a candidate for admission shall be evaluated by the campus as provided in subsection (a) and shall be determined to have satisfied all entrance requirements of the California State University as provided in  this section.
(a) Evaluation Procedure. When a candidate requests admission to a teacher education basic credential program, the campus shall evaluate the candidate and review the candidate's record in accordance with the review and evaluation procedures established at the campus. The teacher education faculty shall be involved in this review and evaluation. The decision of the campus resulting from this evaluation shall be final.
(b) Evaluation Standards. Requirements for admission to a teacher education basic credential program shall be prescribed by the Chancellor, after appropriate consultation, and shall include the following:
(1) Scholarship. The candidate shall have attained a grade point average that is equal to or greater than a standard established by the Chancellor in consultation with the faculty. That standard shall ensure that successful candidates will have demonstrated academic achievement that places them in the upper half of a comparable student population, in conformity with criteria adopted by the California Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
(2) Prerequisite Courses and Field Experience. The candidate shall have successfully completed at least one documented field experience as prescribed by the Chancellor and other prerequisite courses prescribed by the campus.
(3) Professional Aptitude. The candidate shall demonstrate suitable aptitude for teaching in public schools, as determined by the campus. The procedures for making this determination shall include interviews and letters of recommendation.
(4) Physical Fitness. The candidate shall satisfy the standards of health and physical fitness required by the Commission on Teacher Credentialing.
(5) Fundamental Skills. The candidate shall demonstrate proficiency in fundamental skills. Fundamental skills shall include written and spoken English. The Chancellor may require the demonstration of proficiency in additional fundamental skills for entrance to or continuation in a basic credential program. The campus shall determine whether the evidence of proficiency is acceptable.
(6) Personality and Character. The candidate shall demonstrate personality and character traits that satisfy the standards of the teaching profession. The assessment of the candidate shall be made by the teacher education faculty of the campus, who may also consider information from public school personnel and others. Tests, observations, and interviews may be employed by the campus for this assessment.
(c) Exceptions. The campus may admit a candidate to a teacher education program as an exception when the candidate has not met one or more of the requirements if the candidate possesses compensating strengths in other required areas. A campus may grant exceptions that are conditioned on satisfaction of requirements within a specified time period. The campus shall limit the number of exceptional admissions to teacher education programs in the current year to a number no greater than 15 percent of those regularly admitted to the campus teacher education program in the current or previous year.
(d) The evaluation standards established by the Chancellor may vary with the type of basic credential program to which admission is sought. The standards may be based, as appropriate, on one or more of the following: undergraduate class standing or post-baccalaureate standing; completion of, partial completion of, or enrollment in an approved subject matter program; submission of examination scores or passage of one or more examinations; possession of a certificate of clearance; offer of employment as an intern teacher in a collaborating district.
(e) A candidate who has been determined by a campus to meet the minimum standards for entrance to a basic credential program shall be considered to be eligible for admission to a basic credential program of the same type that is offered by any other California State University campus and that is not impacted pursuant to Sections 40650 and 40651.

Subchapter 4. Student Affairs
Article 1. Scholastic Probation and Disqualification
§41300. Academic Probation and Disqualification.
Note     •     History

For purposes of determining a student's eligibility to remain at the campus both quality of performance and progress toward his or her objective shall be considered. Such eligibility shall be determined by use of grade points, and grade point average and by application of guidelines provided for in Section 41300.1.
Campuses shall adhere to the following criteria to ensure satisfactory student progress toward the degree:
(a) An undergraduate student shall be subject to probation if, in any academic term the student fails to maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 2.0 (grade of C);
(b) An undergraduate student shall be subject to disqualification if the student's cumulative grade point balance displays a deficiency in excess of the number permitted for his or her class level pursuant to deficiency levels established by the Chancellor;
(c) An undergraduate student who is not on probation may be disqualified if at any time the student's cumulative grade point average falls below 1.0 (grade of D) and, in the opinion of the appropriate campus authority it is unlikely in light of the student's overall educational record, that the resultant grade point deficiency will be removed in subsequent terms.
(d) A student who is enrolled in a graduate degree program in conditionally classified or classified standing shall be subject to academic probation if the student fails to maintain a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.0 (grade of B) in all units attempted subsequent to admission to the program;
(e) A student who is enrolled in any post-baccalaureate status other than in conditionally classified or classified standing shall be subject to academic probation if the student fails to meet criteria established by the campus. Such criteria shall not be less than those established for undergraduate students;
(f) A graduate or post-baccalaureate student shall be subject to disqualification if while on probation the student fails to earn sufficient grade points to be removed from probationary status. Disqualification may be either from further registration in a particular program or from further enrollment at the campus as determined by appropriate campus authority.
A student disqualified for scholarship deficiency may not enroll in any regular session of the campus without permission from the appropriate campus authority, and may be denied admission to other educational programs operated or sponsored by the campus.

Article 2. Student Conduct
§41301. Standards for Student Conduct.
Note     •     History

(a) Campus Community Values
The University is committed to maintaining a safe and healthy living and learning environment for students, faculty, and staff. Each member of the campus community should choose behaviors that contribute toward this end. Students are expected to be good citizens and to engage in responsible behaviors that reflect well upon their university, to be civil to one another and to others in the campus community, and contribute positively to student and university life.
(b) Grounds for Student Discipline
Student behavior that is not consistent with the Student Conduct Code is addressed through  an educational process that is designed to promote safety and good citizenship and, when necessary, impose appropriate consequences.
The following are the grounds upon which student discipline can be based:
(1) Dishonesty, including:
(A) Cheating, plagiarism, or other forms of academic dishonesty that are intended to gain unfair academic advantage.
(B) Furnishing false information to a University official, faculty member, or campus office.
(C) Forgery, alteration, or misuse of a University document, key, or identification instrument.
(D) Misrepresenting one's self to be an authorized agent of the University or one of its auxiliaries.
(2) Unauthorized entry into, presence in, use of, or misuse of University property.
(3) Willful, material and substantial disruption or obstruction of a University-related activity, or any on-campus activity.
(4) Participating in an activity that substantially and materially disrupts the normal operations of the University, or infringes on the rights of members of the University community.
(5) Willful, material and substantial obstruction of the free flow of pedestrian or other traffic, on or leading to campus property or an off-campus University related activity.
(6) Disorderly, lewd, indecent, or obscene behavior at a University related activity, or directed toward a member of the University community.
(7) Conduct that threatens or endangers the health or safety of any person within or related to the University community, including physical abuse, threats, intimidation, harassment, or sexual misconduct.
(8) Hazing, or conspiracy to haze. Hazing is defined as any method of initiation or pre-initiation into a student organization or student body, whether or not the organization or body is officially recognized by an educational institution, which is likely to cause serious bodily injury to any former, current, or prospective student of any school, community college, college, university or other educational institution in this state (Penal Code 245.6), and in addition, any act likely to cause physical harm, personal degradation or disgrace resulting in physical or mental harm, to any former, current, or prospective student of any school, community college, college, university or other educational institution. The term “hazing” does not include customary athletic events or school sanctioned events.
Neither the express or implied consent of a victim of hazing, nor the lack of active participation in a particular hazing incident is a defense. Apathy or acquiescence in the presence of hazing is not a neutral act, and is also a violation of this section.
(9) Use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of illegal drugs or drug-related paraphernalia, (except as expressly permitted by law and University regulations) or the misuse of legal pharmaceutical drugs.
(10) Use, possession, manufacture, or distribution of alcoholic beverages (except as expressly permitted by law and University regulations), or public intoxication while on campus or at a University related activity.
(11) Theft of property or services from the University community, or misappropriation of University resources.
(12) Unauthorized destruction, or damage to University property or other property in the University community.
(13) Possession or misuse of firearms or guns, replicas, ammunition, explosives, fireworks, knives, other weapons, or dangerous chemicals (without the prior authorization of the campus president) on campus or at a University related activity.
(14) Unauthorized recording, dissemination, or publication of academic presentations (including handwritten notes) for a commercial purpose.
(15) Misuse of computer facilities or resources, including:
(A) Unauthorized entry into a file, for any purpose.
(B) Unauthorized transfer of a file.
(C) Use of another's identification or password.
(D) Use of computing facilities, campus network, or other resources to interfere with the work of another member of the University community.
(E) Use of computing facilities and resources to send obscene or intimidating and abusive messages.
(F) Use of computing facilities and resources to interfere with normal University operations.
(G) Use of computing facilities and resources in violation of copyright laws.
(H) Violation of a campus computer use policy.
(16) Violation of any published University policy, rule, regulation or presidential order.
(17) Failure to comply with directions or, or interference with, any University official or any public safety officer while acting in the performance of his/her duties.
(18) Any act chargeable as a violation of a federal, state, or local law that poses a substantial threat to the safety or well being of members of the University community, to property within the University community or poses a significant threat of disruption or interference with University operations.
(19) Violation of the Student Conduct Procedures, including:
(A) Falsification, distortion, or misrepresentation of information related to a student discipline matter.
(B) Disruption or interference with the orderly progress of a student discipline proceeding.
(C) Initiation of a student discipline proceeding in bad faith.
(D) Attempting to discourage another from participating in the student discipline matter.
(E) Attempting to influence the impartiality of any participant in a student discipline matter.
(F) Verbal or physical harassment or intimidation of any participant in a student discipline matter.
(G) Failure to comply with the sanction(s) imposed under a student discipline proceeding.
(20) Encouraging, permitting, or assisting another to do any act that could subject him or her to discipline.
(c) Procedures for Enforcing This Code
The Chancellor shall adopt procedures to ensure students are afforded appropriate notice and an opportunity to be heard before the University imposes any sanction for a violation of the Student Conduct Code.
(d) Application of This Code
Sanctions for the conduct listed above can be imposed on applicants, enrolled students, students between academic terms, graduates awaiting degrees, and students who withdraw from school while a disciplinary matter is pending. Conduct that threatens the safety or security of the campus community, or substantially disrupts the functions or operation of the University is within the jurisdiction of this Article regardless of whether it occurs on or off campus. Nothing in this Code may conflict with Education Code Section 66301 that prohibits disciplinary action against students based on behavior protected by the First Amendment.

Note     •     History

The President of the campus may place on probation, suspend, or expel a student for one or more of the causes enumerated in Section 41301. No fees or tuition paid by or for such student for the semester, quarter, or summer session in which he or she is suspended or expelled shall be refunded.

During periods of campus emergency, as determined by the President of the individual campus, the President may, after consultation with the Chancellor, place into immediate effect any emergency regulations, procedures, and other measures deemed necessary or appropriate to meet the emergency, safeguard persons and property, and maintain educational activities.
The President may immediately impose an interim suspension in all cases in which there is reasonable cause to believe that such an immediate suspension is required in order to protect lives or property and to insure the maintenance of order. A student so placed on interim suspension shall be given prompt notice of charges and the opportunity for a hearing within 10 days of the imposition of interim suspension. During the period of interim suspension, the student shall not, without prior written permission of the President or designated representative, enter any campus of the California State University other than to attend the hearing. Violation of any condition of interim suspension shall be grounds for expulsion.

Article 15. Alumni Associations
§42397. Purpose.
Note     •     History

Campus alumni organizations aid the California State University in achieving its goals by providing leadership in fostering participation and support of campus priorities and representing alumni interests. As a public trust and the beneficiary of the support provided by alumni associations, the trustees are obligated to require that the funds raised by alumni associations be properly controlled and expended. Consequently, it is the intent of the trustees (1) to develop policies and procedures governing the recognition and management of alumni organizations, including the use of funds and institutional resources and, (2) to ensure cooperative and collaborative efforts between the alumni organizations and the campuses. To accomplish this, the campus president has the responsibility of granting and periodically reviewing recognition of a campus alumni association. These provisions govern the relationship between the alumni association and the campus it supports.

A total of any six such quarters in a period of eight consecutive quarters, shall constitute two academic years.
(w) “College year” means that period of time, in which a campus offers regular session instruction, which period consists of two, three, or four regular terms.
(1) For campuses not on quarter system year-round operations, the college year is coterminous with the academic year.

(aa) “Qualifying monthly pay period” means, for purposes of computing credit for vacation with pay, a monthly pay period during which an employee is in pay status for eleven or more work days. Omission from pay status for more than eleven consecutive working days within two consecutive monthly pay periods bars one such period from being qualified.

The rights and responsibilities of a Management Personnel Plan employee shall be defined by those sections in Subchapter 7 which address Management Personnel Plan employees which sections shall supersede any other section of Subchapter 7 which may have applied to them prior to their having become Management Personnel Plan employees. A Management Personnel Plan employee is neither an administrative, academic, or nonacademic employee while serving in a Management Personnel Plan position. These previous designations shall be relevant only when a Management Personnel Plan employee exercises rights to retreat to a position in which permanent status or tenure was held prior to January 1, 1984. Only after reassuming such position shall the employee assume any rights or duties associated with administrative, academic or nonacademic status.

Article 2.2. Management Personnel Plan
§42720. Structure.
Note     •     History

(a) The California State University Management Personnel Plan is an integrated personnel system addressing the employment rights, benefits, and conditions of those California State University employees designated as “management” or “supervisory” under the Higher Education Employer-Employee Relations Act. The Management Personnel Plan includes four grade levels each with a salary delimited by minimum and maximum rates of salary determined by the Chancellor and approved by the Board of Trustees on the basis of comparative salary data from competitive public and private organizations. The salary ranges may be reviewed and adjusted as the Chancellor and the Trustees deem appropriate.
(b) The Chancellor or designee shall assign each Management Personnel Plan position to one of the four grade levels within the Management Personnel Plan. The assignment of a position to a particular grade level shall be based on an assessment of the skills, knowledges, and other qualifications needed to satisfactorily perform the position's assigned duties as well as the nature and complexity of the program or organizational unit managed or supervised by the position, the scope of management or supervisorial responsibility, job demands, extent of independent decision making authority, accountability, and impact of policies administered and/or decisions made. Working and organizational titles devised by the appointing power may be used to describe a Management Personnel Plan position and the assignment of a position to a grade level may vary from campus to campus depending on an assessment of the circumstances and factors on each campus.
(c) The Chancellor or designee may review and change the grade level to which a position in the Management Personnel Plan has been assigned using the criteria of subdivision (b). A Management Personnel Plan position shall remain in the grade level to which the position is assigned until a different grade level is assigned by the Chancellor or designee.

Although no salary steps are prescribed, salary increments of approximately 1.0 percent shall be established for each salary range to facilitate salary administration and payroll processes.
(b) The appointing power may review and adjust a Management Personnel Plan employee's salary and perquisites.

Adjustments of salary or perquisites or both salary and perquisites of a Management Personnel Plan employee shall be in accordance with a merit evaluation plan developed and administered by the appointing power. Unless otherwise prescribed by law, there shall be no general salary adjustments nor automatic adjustments for such employee. Adjustment of the salary range of an employee's grade level shall not automatically affect the employee's salary.

The evaluation plan requires criteria that will assure equity in pay based on merit factors, including quality, productivity, and the like.
Management Personnel Plan employees shall be evaluated after six-months and one year of service, and subsequently at one year intervals. The criteria and process for evaluation shall be determined by the appointing power. Evaluation shall also form the basis for recommendations for management development, professional leaves or other activities related to career development and upward mobility.

(a) As used in this Section, the term “extra quarter assignment” means an assignment given to an academic employee to teach full-time or part-time within the employee's four quarter period, a quarter other than one of the quarters which comprise the employee's academic year.
(b) In exceptional instances when the needs of the campus require it, an academic year employee may teach an extra quarter assignment. The employee will not, as a general policy, teach more than six consecutive quarters, and, subject to the exception in subdivision (e)(1), shall not teach more than the equivalent of seven consecutive full-time quarters in the California State University.
(c) No academic year employee shall teach an extra quarter assignment unless the employee agrees to do so.
(d) When an academic year employee teaches an extra quarter assignment, the employee may elect whether the work shall be for extra compensation or for a quarter off at a later date. Service for a quarter off at a later date must be full time for the entire quarter. The employee shall make the election by notifying the campus in the form and in the manner and by the time prescribed by the president.
(e) An academic year employee may teach extra quarter assignments either for extra compensation or for a compensating quarter off at a later date provided that: 
(1) For extra compensation--the employee's teaching, including teaching pursuant to this subdivision (e), shall not exceed the equivalent of one quarter for extra compensation nor more than the equivalent of ten quarters during any triad. An exception may be granted by the campus president if an eleventh quarter assignment is essential to the offering of required instruction. No service credit for tenure, retirement, sabbatical leave, sick leave, or seniority, will be earned during this extra quarter; and
(2) For a compensating quarter off at a later date--the employee's teaching, including teaching pursuant to this subdivision (e), subject to the exception in subdivision (e)(1), shall not exceed the equivalent of ten quarters during any triad. Such compensating quarter off will normally be taken during the employee's next succeeding academic year, but may, with the approval of the campus president or designee, be taken at a later time within 36 months of the completion of the extra quarter of service. No service credit for tenure, retirement, sabbatical leave, sick leave or seniority shall accrue during the period of the extra quarter assignment, but shall accrue with respect to the paid time taken as a compensating quarter off, in the same manner as though the employee had taught during the period of such compensating time off rather than during the period of the extra quarter assignment.
(f) As used in this article, the terms “teach” and “teaching” shall include service during a period of sabbatical leave taken pursuant to Article 5 (commencing with Section 43000) and service while on a special leave for research or creative activity, taken pursuant to Article 5.1 (commencing with Section 43050).

An academic year employee who completes all the service required for three quarters or two semesters shall be paid for such service his or her annual salary for an academic year adjusted for changes in salary rates, and time base for the periods covered by such adjustments, in twelve consecutive installments payable on state pay days covering the period of twelve months beginning with the effective date of his or her appointment; provided that adjustments for changes in salary rates may not be made applicable to the vacation period of an academic year employee subsequent to the conclusion of his or her academic year unless that employee has been reappointed or has retired or is retiring within 120 days of the end of the academic year, pursuant to the Public Employees' Retirement Law or the State Teachers' Retirement Law. The first installment shall be paid on the first state pay day following the conclusion of the first academic pay period as determined pursuant to subdivision (c) of Section 42800 and shall be the amount of his or her established monthly salary equivalent for the position. If such employee separates from the position following the completion of his or her assigned duties in the position but prior to the end of the twelve-month period, he or she may on separation be paid as a final settlement the unpaid balance of the salary due him or her.

(4) Date of Payments for Service for Semester or Quarter. 
(A) An academic year employee who is appointed to serve for one semester only or for one or two quarters only shall be paid in installments payable on state pay days covering the six-month period where appointment is for one semester, or the four-month or eight-month period, as the case may be, where the appointment is for one or two quarters, beginning on the effective date of his or her appointment.

A ten-month employee (including librarians electing to be employed on a ten-month basis pursuant to Article 2.7 of this Subchapter) who completes all service required for the ten-month period shall for such service be paid his or her regular annual salary in twelve consecutive installments payable on state pay days.

A ten-month employee paid under a 10-12 pay plan, who completes all service required for the designated ten-month period, shall for such service be paid his or her regular annual salary, adjusted for changes in salary rates and time base for the periods covered by such adjustments, in twelve consecutive installments payable on state pay days. The first installment shall be paid on the first state pay day following the effective date of the appointment. If the employee serves at any one campus in the same class or class series in excess of ten months out of the twelve months covered by the employee's assignment, payment for such excess service shall be at the monthly rate of one-tenth of the annual salary or the fractional equivalent thereof, in case of part-time service, adjusted for changes in salary rate and time base for the periods covered by such adjustments. Credit for vacation with pay accumulated during the ten-month period which the employee was unable to take because of assigned duties, may, at the discretion of the President, be paid at the monthly rate of one tenth of his or her regular annual salary adjusted for changes in salary rates. Pay for excess service and vacation shall be in addition to any salary due for service during the regular ten-month period, but the total pay for excess service and for accumulated vacation shall not exceed an amount equal to two-tenths of his or her regular salary.
(e) Eleven-month Employees paid under an 11-12 Pay Plan. An eleven-month employee paid under an 11-12 pay plan, who completes all service required for the designated eleven-month period, shall for such service be paid his or her regular annual salary, adjusted for charges in salary rates and time base for the periods covered by such adjustments, in twelve consecutive installments payable on state pay days. The first installment shall be paid on the first state pay day following the effective date of the appointment. If the employee serves at any one campus in the same class or class series in excess of eleven months out of the twelve covered by the employee's assignment, payment for such excess service shall be at the monthly rate of one-eleventh of the annual salary or the fractional equivalent thereof, in case of part-time service, adjusted for changes in salary rate and time base for the periods covered by such adjustments. Credit for vacation with pay accumulated during the eleven-month period which the employee was unable to take because of assigned duties, may, at the discretion of the president, be paid at the monthly rate of one-eleventh of his or her regular annual salary adjusted for changes in salary rates.

§42805. Settlement Payments.
Note     •     History

(a) When and to whom paid. Any academic year employee and any ten-month employee paid under a 10-12 pay plan shall receive a settlement payment in the following events:
(1) If there has been an interim reduction in pay pursuant to Section 42804 due to a noncompensable absence, a settlement payment shall be required at the completion of the period of service, or upon termination of the assignment for any reason, whichever event occurs earlier.
(2) If the employee serves less than the complete period of service covered by the assignment, a settlement payment shall be required upon termination of the assignment for any reason.
(3) If the total time required for completion of the period of service is changed, a settlement payment shall be required upon completion of the period of service.
(4) If the employee is transferred to service in a position falling under a different period of service or pay plan, a settlement payment shall be required upon termination of service in the previous position.
(5) The settlement payment shall be made to the employee on the state pay day immediately following the date described in the foregoing subsections when the settlement payment is required.
(b) Academic Year Employee. When required, the amount of a settlement payment which shall be paid to an academic year employee shall be equal to the difference between the total salary earned and the total amount previously paid to the employee for the period of service.
Full pay shall be allowed for each semester or quarter for which all required service has been completed.
For each semester or quarter for which the employee served less than the complete period of service, the settlement payment shall be computed by determining the amount that bears the same ratio to one-half (for a semester) or one-third (for a quarter) of the employee's total annual salary, adjusted for any changes in salary rate and time base for the periods covered by such adjustments, as the total number of workdays served by the employee bears to the total number of workdays in the semester or quarter. The same computation shall be used if he total employment time required of an employee in an academic year position or positions is changed.
(c) Ten-Month Employee. When required, the amount of a settlement payment which shall be paid to a ten-month employee shall be equal to the difference between the total salary earned and the salary previously paid to the employee for the period of service. The total salary earned is that amount which bears the same ratio to his or her regular annual salary for the position, adjusted for any changes in salary rate and time base for the periods covered by such adjustments, as the number of workdays served bears to the total number of workdays in the ten-month period. The same computation shall be used if the total employment time required of an employee in a ten-month position or positions is changed.
(d) Ten-Month Employees Paid Under a 10-12 Pay Plan. When required, the amount of a settlement payment which shall be paid to ten-month employees serving in ten-month assignments under a 10-12 pay plan shall be computed in the same manner as prescribed in subdivision (c) of this section.
(e) Report to Controller. The final settlement payment shall be computed by the campus and notification of the amount due furnished to the Controller.

§42850. Purpose.
Note     •     History

It is the purpose of the Board of Trustees in adopting this Article, to implement the authority of the Board to afford employees of the California State University an opportunity to participate in a retirement benefit program which satisfies the provisions of the United States Internal Revenue Code, Section 403(b) as amended. Generally, participation in this program will involve a reduction in the salary of each participating employee in an agreed amount. The amount reduced will be applied as a contribution to a qualified 403(b) plan on behalf of such employee.
The Board of Trustees does not necessarily recommend that any individual employee participate in the retirement benefit program authorized by this Article. Rather, the Board is of the view that the decision on whether or not to participate is personal to each employee, who must personally consider and determine the relative merits of the retirement benefit program and its alternatives. The Board is not responsible for and does not warrant any particular tax consequence to employees who elect to participate.

An academic year employee taking vacation in advance of the completion of his or her academic year shall be obligated to complete his or her academic year of service during the four quarter period or, upon approval of the president, during the next succeeding four quarter period; provided, however, that this obligation shall be further deferred for any period during which the employee is a “person in military service” as that phrase is defined in the Soldiers' and Sailors' Civil Relief Act of 1940, as amended, of the United States (50 App. U.S.C. Section 501, et seq. ). This obligation shall be exonerated by the employee's death or disability.

§42905. Computation of State Service.
Note     •     History

State service for the purpose of determining which vacation accumulation rate in the schedule in subsection (a) of Section 42904 to use shall include all qualifying monthly pay periods of service. Part-time qualifying service at the rate of one-half time or more shall be counted as full-time service. Part-time qualifying service at a rate of less than one-half time shall be accumulated until it is equal to one month of full-time service (e.g., 4 months of one-fourth time service equal one qualifying monthly pay period) at which time it shall be credited to the employee.
For purposes of the schedule in subsection (a) of Section 42904, 160 hours of service of an hourly employee equals one qualifying monthly pay period. However, hours worked in a monthly pay period in excess of 160 shall be carried forward to the next accumulation. Not more than 160 hours may be credited in any one pay period.
When a person employed half-time or more changes time base to less than one-half time or is changed to an hourly rate employee, or when a person employed less than half-time or on an hourly basis changes time base to half time or more, he or she shall retain qualifying service credit already received and shall continue accumulating qualifying service credit applicable to the new time base. Any time worked by a person employed less than half-time or on an hourly basis which does not equal a month of full-time service, upon a change in time base or return to service following a break in service, shall not be credited to the employee.
When any employee changes from less than one-half time to hourly (or vice versa), the service under each time base shall be accumulated until it equals one month of full-time service.

(b) Notwithstanding subsection (a) to the contrary, the president of a campus at which an employee is employed, or the Chancellor in the case of all other employees, may permit an employee to carry over more vacation credits than the prescribed maximum when the employee was prevented from taking enough vacation to reduce the credits because the employee (1) was required to work as a result of fire, flood or other similar emergency, (2) was prevented from taking vacation by work the president or the Chancellor, as the case may be, has determined to be of a priority or critical nature over an extended period of time, (3) was absent on full salary for compensable injury, or (4) was prevented by campus rule from taking vacation until December and at that time was unable to take vacation because of illness requiring use of sick leave. This subsection (b) shall not apply to vacation carry over of a campus President, General Counsel, Vice Chancellor, and Chancellor.
When verification of past state service requires it, an employee's accumulated credit for vacation with pay shall be adjusted. In such case, any additional credit which exceeds the maximum carry-over limitation shall be used within one year following the qualifying monthly pay period in which credited.

The determination made by the President or Chancellor shall be made after consultation with the employee. The President or Chancellor shall seek to accommodate the employee's needs to the needs of the employment.

In the event the appointing power does not, during the calendar year, schedule vacation for an employee sufficient to reduce credit for vacation accumulated with pay as of the following January 1 to the amount permitted by Section 42907, the employee may take, as a matter of right, immediately preceding the following January 1 the number of days of accumulated vacation required to reduce such accumulation to the amount permitted by that section.
Notwithstanding the authority of the President or Chancellor to determine when vacation shall be taken, an employee who is in the final year of employment prior to service retirement under the Public Employees' Retirement System or the State Teachers' Retirement System may elect not to take vacation carried over from prior years and instead, receive a lump sum payment as of the date of separation, subject to the requirements of Section 42912.

§43005. Bond, Compensation and Further Leaves.
Note     •     History

(a) Final approval of an application for a leave of absence to engage in study or travel during or for which the applicant is to receive compensation as provided hereinbefore shall not be granted until the applicant has filed with the Chancellor a suitable bond indemnifying the State of California against loss in the event the employee fails to render service in the California State University following the return of the employee from the leave of absence at the rate of one term of service for each term of leave. The bond shall be in the amount of the total salary computed to become due to the applicant during the applicant's leave of absence, except that in the case of an academic employee on sabbatical leave in residence, pursuant to Section 43000, subdivision (d), in which event the bond shall be in the amount of 4/5 of his or her total salary computed to become due to the applicant during such leave of absence. The bond shall be exonerated if the failure of the employee to return and render the requisite service in the California State University following the employee's leave of absence is not due to the fault of the employee. The obligation to file a bond may be waived by the Chancellor if the Chancellor finds that the interests of the State will be protected by the written agreement of the employee to return to the service of the California State University and render the requisite service therein following the employee's return from the leave of absence. Such agreement shall be accompanied by a statement of assets showing, to the satisfaction of the Chancellor, the employee's capacity to indemnify the State of California against loss in the event that the employee fails, through fault of the employee, to fulfill the agreement.
(b) Compensation granted an employee on leave of absence under this article shall be paid during the leave of absence in the same manner as if the employee were not on leave of absence. The bond shall be exonerated if the failure of the employee to return and render the requisite service is not due to the fault of the employee.
(c) The Chancellor may, upon recommendation of the President, grant to an employee on leave of absence with pay under this article one leave of absence without pay, which shall not exceed one year, and which shall commence at any time following the completion of leave of absence with pay. In addition, the Chancellor may, upon recommendation of the President, grant to such employee a second leave of absence without pay which shall not exceed one year. Time spent on any leave of absence without pay granted pursuant to this subsection shall not be credited toward the service required by this section following a leave of absence with pay.

The CSU difference in pay acts as a salary supplement to military pay. The limit specified by the Chancellor is in addition to any paid active duty military leave under existing law. If an employee does not return to CSU service within the required time of being released from active duty, the CSU difference in pay salary supplemental shall be treated as a loan that must be repaid to the CSU with interest.
Employees on a difference in pay salary supplement continue to receive CSU provided health, dental, and vision benefits at the level current with the leave for the period of time specified by the Chancellor.

Article 6.3. Reduced Worktime Program for All Employees Other Than Academic Teaching Employees
§43130. Purpose and Definitions.
Note     •     History

It is the purpose of the Board of Trustees in adopting this Article to implement Government Code Section 19996.20 et seq. and Education Code Section 89557 to provide a voluntary reduced worktime program, to the extent feasible, for full-time employees of the California State University serving in positions in the non-academic, administrative and academic closely related job categories, employees serving in academic-administrative assignments, and Management Personnel Plan employees. “Reduced worktime” means working less than full time and taking a pro rata reduction in salary and benefits. Options available to employees subject to this Article include fewer hours of work per day or fewer days of work per year. These and other variations will be made available to full-time employees on a voluntary basis, where feasible.
Permanent full-time employees will derive the primary benefit from participation in this program since only permanent full-time employees retain permanent status when reducing their time base to less than full time. Full-time probationary employees choosing to reduce their time base to less than full time are, upon the reduction, temporary employees and lose the opportunity to gain credit toward permanent status.
As used in this Article, “President” means president or designee of a University or College with regard to employees of a State University or College or the Chancellor or designee with regard to employees of the headquarters office.

Note     •     History

Participation in the reduced worktime program authorized by this Article shall be approved if the President determines that the reduction in time base is feasible in terms of the overall management and operation of services and programs.
(a) In determining whether participation is feasible, the President shall consider such factors as the following:
(1) Participation should not adversely affect provision of service to students or the public or create an unacceptable decline in the timeliness or quality of service rendered;
(2) Participation should not remove unique expertise or specialized skill needed to provide a service on a continuing basis during normal working hours;
(3) Participation should not reduce the effectiveness of a multipart workflow process by reducing or shifting an integral part of that process performed by the employee;
(4) The cost of granting reduced worktime should not involve significant expenditures such as the purchase of additional equipment, acquisition of more office space or renovation of existing space to accommodate more personnel, or other costs which could not be considered incidental or routine;
(5) The granting of reduced worktime where the flow of work is heavy or constant should not adversely affect the unit's ability to regularly produce the work in a timely manner;
(6) The granting of reduced worktime should not accentuate existing recruitment difficulties in a work unit, and, therefore, have an adverse effect on the ability of the unit to effectively accomplish its work;
(7) The granting of reduced worktime should not result in a threat to health, safety, or property;
(8) The granting of reduced worktime should not adversely affect provision of office or departmental coverage or other services during assigned hours of operation.
(b) Generally, participation will be less feasible for employees who are in positions included in the Management Personnel Plan.
(c) If requests for reduced worktime exceed the number that can be granted within these provisions, employees may be selected based on program need.

Article 6.4. Reduced Worktime Program for Academic Teaching Employees
§43140. Purpose and Definitions.
Note     •     History

It is the purpose of the Board of Trustees in adopting this Article to implement Government Code Section 19996.20 et seq. and Education Code Section 89557 to provide a voluntary reduced worktime program, to the extent feasible, for full-time academic teaching employees of the California State University. “Reduced worktime” means working less than full time and taking a pro rata reduction in salary and benefits. Options available to teaching faculty in a reduced worktime program include:
(a) reducing the employee's time base;
(b) reducing the number of terms taught; or
(c) a combination of (a) and (b).
Tenured full-time employees will derive the primary benefit from participation in this program since only tenured full-time employees retain tenure status when reducing their time base to less than full time. Full-time probationary employees choosing to reduce their time base to less than full time are upon the reduction, temporary employees and lose the opportunity to gain credit toward tenure.
As used in this Article, “President” means president or designee of a California State University or College with regard to employees of a State University or College.

§43173. Conditions of Participation, Salary and Benefits.
Note     •     History

Participation in the Faculty Early Retirement Program shall be subject to the following conditions:
(a) Within the limitation set forth in the applicable retirement law for such post-retirement service, retirant shall have the right to continued employment for one term each academic year at the rank held at the time of retirement, unless the employee elects otherwise, until attaining mandatory retirement age or until the conclusion of the academic year in which he or she attains mandatory retirement age. As used in this Article, “mandatory retirement age” means the mandatory retirement age as provided in Government Code Section 20981. Retirant's right to continued employment shall terminate at an earlier date in the event of dismissal for cause, layoff, or failure to meet the employment commitment. For purposes of layoff affecting a retirant's teaching service area, the order for layoff shall be in the inverse order of the retirant's total length of service at the campus, including service before and after retirement.
(b) Retirants shall serve during the term of employment determined by the campus.
(c) Retirant's time base for service under this Article shall be the same as his or her time base during the academic year immediately prior to retirement.
(d) During his or her term of service, a retirant serving full time under this Article shall fulfill his or her employment obligation and service contributions, including teaching, advisement, committee service, and other instructionally related assignments which would be required if such person had not retired, provided that such obligations, contributions, and assignments shall not extend beyond the conclusion of the term of service under this Article. For purposes of such obligations, contributions, and assignments, a retirant shall be deemed a tenured member of the faculty.
(e) With the consent of the campus president, a participant in this program may be granted leave without pay for one or more terms in which he or she is scheduled to teach. After electing to participate in this program, a retirant shall be entitled to one leave of absence without pay for a term in which he or she is scheduled to teach if such leave is needed because of the participant's personal illness. No compensated leave of any kind, other than sick leave, shall be allowed participants in this program. The balance of accrued sick leave time of members of Public Employees' Retirement System and State Teachers' Retirement System is converted to service credit at the time of retirement and is therefore not available for use by retirants serving in this program. Retirants serving in the early retirement program shall accrue sick leave benefits in the same manner and subject to the same regulations as other employees of the California State University.

Note     •     History

Decisions with respect to the award or denial of tenure to a probationary academic employee as defined in Section 42700, subdivision (1), appointed pursuant to Article 2, Article 2.5, or both, shall be on the basis of full-time service in accordance with the procedures established pursuant to Section 42701 and pursuant to the following provisions:
(a) The normal pattern of awarding tenure, except as modified below, shall involve the assessment of a faculty member's performance over a period of four successive academic years, and for those not awarded tenure, a terminal year.
(b) The president may determine to award a fifth probationary year appointment. Should it be considered by the end of that year that more time is still necessary to evaluate the probationary academic employee for tenure purposes, the president may award a final sixth probationary year appointment. For those denied tenure following the final probationary year, a terminal year shall be awarded as provided in Subdivision (c) of Section 43561. A probationary academic employee shall not serve more than seven successive full-time years.
(c) If the academic employee transfers from an existing campus to a newly established campus under the provisions of Education Code Section 89545, the employee shall be accorded such tenure rights at the newly established campus as the employee had acquired at the existing campus.
(d) If a tenured academic employee transfers from one campus to another campus and such transfer is not under the provisions of Education Code Section 89545, the employee may be appointed with tenure or with such credit towards tenure as the president of the campus to which the employee transfers shall determine.
(e) If a probationary academic employee transfers from one campus to another campus, and such transfer is not under the provisions of Education Code Section 89545, the employee may be appointed with such credit toward tenure as the president of the campus to which the employee transfers shall determine.
(f) If the academic employee is initially appointed to the rank of professor, the employee may be considered for tenure during his or her first academic year, and, not later than June 1 of the employee's second year, he or she shall be notified by the president or designee that the employee will either receive tenure or a terminal year.
(g) Notwithstanding any provision in this article to the contrary, the president in special circumstances may award tenure to any probationary academic employee earlier than the normal probationary period otherwise provided in this section, when, following an evaluation of the performance of the faculty member at the campus, the president finds that such early award of tenure is advantageous to the institution.
(h) Except as provided in subdivision (c), (d) and (g) of this Section, whenever tenure is awarded to an academic employee, the tenure shall be effective when the academic employee enters upon his or her duties at the same campus at the beginning of the academic year next succeeding the year during which tenure is awarded.
(i) If the academic employee is promoted to the rank of assistant professor during his or her probationary period, he or she shall be credited with consecutive probationary years already served at the campus at the rank of instructor.

(A) An activity directly undertaken by the Trustees including ut not limited to, public works construction or related activities, clearing or grading of land and improvements to existing public structures, which will result in a physical change in the environment; and the adoption of a new campus Master Plan or substantial revisions thereof.

(A) Anything specifically exempted by state law.
(B) Proposals for legislation to be enacted by the state Legislature other than Trustee requests for authorization of funding independently from the Budget Act.

(b) For the purposes of this section the following programs and allocations are deemed to be essential and core to the mission and budgets of the California Community Colleges: general apportionment, growth for apportionment, cost-of-living adjustments, basic skills, Partnership for Excellence, financial aid administration, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services, Disabled Student Programs and Services, matriculation, part-time faculty compensation, part-time faculty health insurance, part-time faculty office hours, program improvement and allocations directed specifically to help reach the 75 percent full-time faculty standard.
(c) If a district's full-time faculty percentage, as calculated pursuant to section 53308, is less than 75 percent, the following shall apply:
(1) If the Board of Governors has determined pursuant to subsection (a) that adequate funds have been provided for implementation of this paragraph, the district's base full-time faculty obligation (as defined in section 53311) shall be increased for the fall term of the succeeding fiscal year, by the product of the base full-time faculty obligation multiplied by the percentage change in funded credit FTES, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
In computing the district's full-time faculty obligation for the succeeding fiscal year, the base obligation will be increased by the lower of the projected fundable growth at the time of the budget enactment or the actual percentage change in funded credit FTES. For the second succeeding fall term the obligation will be adjusted to the actual percentage change in funded credit FTES.
(2) Districts which, as determined from their base data, had a full-time faculty percentage of 67 percent or greater, but less than 75 percent shall apply up to 33 percent of their program improvement allocation pursuant to subsection (b) of section 58775, as necessary to reach the 75 percent standard pursuant to paragraph (4) below.
(3) Districts which, as determined from their base data, had a full-time faculty percentage of less than 67 percent shall apply up to 40 percent of their program improvement allocation pursuant to subsection (b) of section 58775, as necessary to reach the 75 percent standard pursuant to paragraph (4) below.
(4) For program improvement funds identified in paragraph (2) or (3), as appropriate, the district's base full-time faculty obligation shall be further increased for the fall term of the succeeding fiscal year, by the quotient of the applicable program improvement funds divided by the statewide average replacement cost for the current fiscal year, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
(5) If the number of full-time faculty derived in paragraphs (1) and (4), or in paragraph (6), result in the district exceeding the 75 percent standard, the Chancellor shall reduce the number of the full-time obligation to a point that leaves the district as close as possible to, but in excess of, the 75 percent standard.
(6) If the Board of Governors determines pursuant to subsection (a) that additional funds have been provided for the purpose of increasing the full-time faculty percentage, the district's base full-time faculty obligation shall be further increased for the fall term of the succeeding fiscal year by the quotient of the applicable funds divided by the statewide average replacement costs for the current fiscal year, rounded down to the nearest whole number.
(7) If the Board of Governors determines pursuant to subsection (a) that adequate funds have not been provided to implement paragraph (1), the district's base full-time faculty obligation shall be unchanged. However, for the fall term of the succeeding fiscal year the district may choose, in lieu of maintaining its base obligation, to maintain, at a minimum, the full-time faculty percentage attained in the prior fall term.
(d) Statewide average replacement cost is the statewide average faculty salary plus benefits, minus the product of the statewide average hourly rate of compensation for part-time faculty times the statewide average full-time teaching load.
(e) On or before January 31 of each year, the Chancellor shall determine, based on information submitted by districts, the extent to which each district, by the fall term of that fiscal year, has maintained or hired the number of full-time faculty, or maintained the full-time faculty percentage if applicable, determined pursuant to subsection (c) for the prior fiscal year. To the extent that the number of full-time faculty or percentage of full-time faculty has not been maintained or additional full-time faculty have not been retained, the Chancellor shall reduce the district's revenue for the current fiscal year by an amount equal to the average replacement cost for the prior fiscal year times the deficiency in the number or percentage equivalent of full-time faculty. If the Board has determined, pursuant to subsection (a), that there are not adequate funds in the current fiscal year to allow full implementation of paragraph (1) of subsection (c), then the Chancellor may defer this reduction of revenue until the subsequent fiscal year in which the Board determines that adequate funds have been provided to allow full implementation of that paragraph. To the extent a district hires the additional full-time faculty in subsequent fiscal years, the reductions will no longer be levied. Notwithstanding this provision, the Chancellor may not waive reductions that are deferred under the authority of this subsection. The Chancellor may authorize a funding reduction that is deferred under the authority of this subsection to be made over a period not to exceed three fiscal years, provided that the district is meeting its full-time faculty obligation and it is the Chancellor's judgment that the district's financial integrity otherwise would be jeopardized.
(f) All revenues available due to reductions made pursuant to subsection (e), shall be made available for statewide distribution on a one-time basis for that fiscal year, for purposes of promoting equal employment opportunities for faculty and staff pursuant to Education Code section 87107.
(g) For districts that experience a reduction in base credit FTES, the Chancellor shall make a proportionate reduction to their base number of full-time faculty.

§51102. Enforcement.
Note     •     History

(a) If any review pursuant to section 51100 discloses that a district may not be in compliance with the provisions of subchapter 1 (commencing with section 51100) of chapter 2, the Chancellor shall notify the chief executive officer of the district in writing, and shall request an official written response from the district by a date which the Chancellor shall specify.
(b) After receiving the district's written response, or after the time for response has lapsed, the Chancellor shall pursue one or more of the following courses of action:
(1) accept in whole or part the district's response regarding the alleged noncompliance;

§53001. Definitions.
Note     •     History

As used in this subchapter:
(a) Adverse Impact. “Adverse impact” means that a statistical measure (such as those outlined in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's “Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures”) is applied to the effects of a selection procedure and demonstrates a disproportionate negative impact on any group defined in terms of ethnic group identification, gender, or disability. A disparity identified in a given selection process will not be considered to constitute adverse impact if the numbers involved are too small to permit a meaningful comparison.
(b) Business Necessity. “Business necessity” means circumstances which justify an exception to the requirements of section 53021(b)(1) because compliance with that section would result in substantial additional financial cost to the district or pose a significant threat to human life or safety. Business necessity requires greater financial cost than does mere business convenience. Business necessity does not exist where there is an alternative that will serve business needs equally well.
(c) Equal Employment Opportunity. “Equal employment opportunity” means that all qualified individuals have a full and fair opportunity to compete for hiring and promotion and to enjoy the benefits of employment with the district. Equal employment opportunity should exist at all levels and in all job categories listed in section 53004(a). Ensuring equal employment opportunity also involves creating an environment which fosters cooperation, acceptance, democracy, and free expression of ideas and is welcoming to men and women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from all ethnic and other groups protected from discrimination by this subchapter.
(d) Equal Employment Opportunity Plan. An “equal employment opportunity plan” is a written document in which a district's work force is analyzed and specific plans and procedures are set forth for ensuring equal employment opportunity.

§53004. District Evaluation and Report to Chancellor.
Note     •     History

(a) Each district shall annually survey its employees and shall monitor applicants for employment on an ongoing basis in order to evaluate the implementation of its equal employment opportunity plan and to provide data needed for the analyses required by sections 53003, 53006, 53023, and 53024. Each district shall annually report to the Chancellor, in a manner prescribed by the Chancellor, the results of its annual survey of employees at each college in the district. Each employee shall be reported so that he or she may be identified as belonging to one of the following seven job categories:
(1) executive/administrative/managerial;
(2) faculty and other instructional staff;
(3) professional nonfaculty;
(4) secretarial/clerical;
(5) technical and paraprofessional;
(6) skilled crafts; and

Chinese, Japanese, Filipinos, Koreans, Vietnamese, Asian Indians, Hawaiians, Guamanians, Samoans, Laotians, and Cambodians are to be counted and reported as part of the Asian/Pacific Islander group as well as in separate subcategories. However, in determining whether additional steps are necessary to ensure that monitored groups have not been excluded on an impermissible basis, analysis of the separate subgroups is not necessary.

§53006. Additional Steps to Ensure Equal Employment Opportunity.
Note     •     History

(a) If a district determines that a particular monitored group is significantly underrepresented with respect to one or more job categories, the district shall take additional steps consistent with this section. At a minimum, the district shall:
(1) review its recruitment procedures and identify and implement any additional measures which might reasonably be expected to attract candidates from the significantly underrepresented group;
(2) consider various other means of reducing the underrepresentation which do not involve taking monitored group status into account, and implement any such techniques which are determined to be feasible and potentially effective;
(3) determine whether the group is still significantly underrepresented in the category or categories in question after the measures described in (1) and (2) have been in place a reasonable period of time; and
(4) if significant underrepresentation persists, the staffing rate for the significantly underrepresented group in the specified job category or categories shall be monitored on an ongoing basis until the projected representation has been achieved for that group in the category or categories in question.
(b) If a reasonable period of time passes and significant underrepresentation persists for a particular group in the job category in question, the district shall:
(1) review each locally established “required,” “desired” or “preferred” qualification being used to screen applicants for positions in the job category to determine if it is job-related and consistent with business necessity through a process meeting the requirements of federal law or is among those qualifications which the Board of Governors has found to be job-related and consistent with business necessity throughout the community college system;
(2) discontinue the use of any locally established qualification that has not been found to satisfy the requirements set forth in paragraph (1) of this subdivision; and
(3) continue using qualification standards meeting the requirements of paragraph (1) only where no alternative qualification standard is reasonably available which would select for the same characteristics, meet the requirements of paragraph (1) and be expected to have a less exclusionary effect.
(c) For purposes of this section, “a reasonable period of time” means three years, or such longer period as the Chancellor may approve, upon the request of the equal employment opportunity advisory committee and the chief executive officer, where the district has not filled enough positions to appreciably affect its work force in the job category in question.
(d) Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to prohibit a district from taking any other steps it concludes are necessary to ensure equal employment opportunity, provided that such actions are consistent with the requirements of federal and state constitutional and statutory nondiscrimination law.

§53021. Recruitment.
Note     •     History

(a) Except as otherwise provided in this section, community college districts shall actively recruit from both within and outside the district work force to attract qualified applicants for all new openings. This shall include outreach designed to ensure that all persons, including persons from monitored groups, are provided the opportunity to seek employment with the district. The requirement of open recruitment shall apply to all new full-time and part-time openings in all job categories and classifications, including, but not limited to, faculty, classified employees, categorically funded positions, the chief executive officer, and all other executive/administrative/managerial positions. Recruitment for full-time faculty and educational administrator positions shall be at least statewide and, at a minimum, shall include seeking qualified applicants listed in the California Community Colleges Equal Employment Opportunity Registry and posting job announcements with the Registry. Recruitment for part-time faculty positions may be conducted separately for each new opening or by annually establishing a pool of eligible candidates, but in either case full and open recruitment is required consistent with this section.
(b)(1) “In-house or promotional only” recruitment shall not be used to fill any new opening for any position described in subdivision (a) except when the position is being filled on an interim basis for the minimum time necessary to allow for full and open recruitment; provided however, that no interim appointment or series of interim appointments exceed one year in duration. The Chancellor may approve an extension of up to one additional year if the district demonstrates “business necessity” as defined in section 53001(b).
(2) If a district believes justification exists for use of the exception listed in subsection (b)(1), it shall so notify the Equal Employment Opportunity Advisory Committee established pursuant to section 53005 and the Chancellor at least ten (10) working days prior to offering the position to a candidate.
(3) Where in-house or promotional only recruitment is permitted, the district shall comply with its established hiring procedures and all district employees shall be afforded the opportunity to apply and demonstrate that they are qualified.
(4) The job announcement for the interim position shall comply with section 53022 and the selection process shall be consistent with the requirements of this subchapter.
(c) For purposes of this section, a new opening is not created when:
(1) there is a reorganization that does not result in a net increase in the number of employees;
(2) one or more lateral transfers are made and there is no net increase in the number of employees;
(3) a position which is currently occupied by an incumbent is upgraded, reclassified, or renamed without significantly altering the duties being performed by the individual;
(4) the faculty in a division or department elect one faculty member to serve as a chairperson for a prescribed limited term;
(5) the position is filled by a temporary, short-term, or substitute employee appointed pursuant to Education Code sections 87422, 87480, 87482.5(b), 88003, 88106 or 88109; 
(6) a part-time faculty member is assigned to teach the same or fewer hours he or she has previously taught in the same discipline without a substantial break in service. For purposes of this section, “a substantial break in service” means more than one calendar year or such different period as may be defined by a collective bargaining agreement; or
(7) an individual not currently employed by the district, who is specially trained, experienced, and competent to serve as an administrator, and who satisfies the minimum qualifications applicable to the position, is engaged to serve as an administrator through a professional services contract. No appointment or series of appointments pursuant to this provision may exceed a period of one year.

§53023. Applicant Pool.
Note     •     History

(a) The application for employment shall afford each applicant an opportunity to voluntarily identify his or her gender, ethnic group identification and, if applicable, his or her disability. This information shall be kept confidential and shall be used only in research, validation, monitoring, evaluating the effectiveness of the district's equal employment opportunity program, or any other purpose specifically authorized in this subchapter, or by any applicable statute or regulation.
(b) After the application deadline has passed, the composition of the initial applicant pool shall be analyzed to ensure that any failure to obtain projected representation for any monitored group is not due to discriminatory recruitment procedures. If necessary, the application deadline shall be extended and additional recruitment shall be conducted that eliminates discriminatory recruitment procedures and ensures that recruitment efforts provide a full and fair opportunity for participation to a wide diversity of potential applicants.  When recruitment efforts have offered an opportunity for participation to a wide diversity of potential applicants or further recruitment efforts would be futile, applications shall be screened to determine which candidates satisfy job specifications set forth in the job announcement. 
(c) Before the selection process continues, the composition of the qualified applicant pool shall be analyzed to ensure that no monitored group is adversely impacted pursuant to section 53001(a). If adverse impact is found to exist, the chief executive officer or his or her designee shall take effective steps to address the adverse impact before the selection process continues. Such steps may include, but are not limited to:
(1) extending the deadline and undertaking inclusive outreach efforts to ensure that members of the adversely impacted group have equal opportunity to seek employment with the district;
(2) including all applicants who were screened out on the basis of any locally established qualifications beyond state minimum qualifications which have not been specifically demonstrated to be job-related and consistent with business necessity through a process meeting the requirements of federal law or which are not among those which the Board of Governors has found to be job-related and consistent with business necessity throughout the community college system.
(d) If adverse impact persists after taking steps required under subdivision (c), the selection process may proceed only if:
(1) the job announcement does not require qualifications beyond the statewide minimum qualifications; or
(2) locally established qualifications beyond state minimum qualifications, if any, are demonstrated to be job-related and consistent with business necessity through a process meeting the requirements of federal law and suitable alternative selection procedures to reduce the adverse impact were unavailable; or

§53024. Screening or Selection Procedures.
Note     •     History

(a) All screening or selection techniques, including the procedure for developing interview questions, and the selection process as a whole, shall be:
(1) provided to the Chancellor upon request;
(2) designed to ensure that for faculty and administrative positions, meaningful consideration is given to the extent to which applicants demonstrate a sensitivity to and understanding of the diverse academic, socioeconomic, cultural, disability, and ethnic backgrounds of community college students;
(3) based solely on job-related criteria; and
(4) designed to avoid an adverse impact, as defined in section 53001(a), and monitored by means consistent with this section to detect and address any adverse impact which does occur for any monitored group.
(b) If monitoring pursuant to subsection (a)(4) reveals that any selection technique or procedure has adversely impacted any such group, the chief executive officer or his/her designee shall suspend the selection process and timely and effective steps shall be taken to remedy the problem before the selection process resumes. The equal employment opportunity officer, or other official charged with responsibility for monitoring selection procedures, may assist the screening committee by discussing the overall composition of the applicant pool and the screening criteria or procedures which have produced an adverse impact, provided that confidential information about individual candidates is not disclosed. If adverse impact results from locally established qualifications beyond state minimum qualifications that have not been verified as described in section 53023(c)(2) or replaced with suitable alternatives having a lesser adverse impact, the use of such qualifications shall be immediately discontinued and any applicant eliminated on the basis of that qualification shall be continued in the hiring process. Where necessary, the position may be re-opened at any time and a new selection process initiated in a way designed to avoid adverse impact.
(c) A district may not designate or set aside particular positions to be filled by members of any group defined in terms of ethnic group identification, race, color, national origin, religion, age, gender, disability, ancestry or sexual orientation, or engage in any other practice which would result in discriminatory or preferential treatment prohibited by state or federal law. Nor may a district apply the district's equal employment opportunity plan in a rigid manner which has the purpose or effect of so discriminating.
(d) Seniority or length of service may be taken into consideration only to the extent it is job related, is not the sole criterion, and is included in the job announcement consistent with the requirements of section 53022.
(e) Selection testing for employees shall follow procedures as outlined in the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission's “Uniform Guidelines on Employee Selection Procedures.”
(f) Whenever possible, screening committees shall include a diverse membership which will bring a variety of perspectives to the assessment of applicant qualifications.
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this division, the governing board or its designee shall have the authority to make all final hiring decisions based upon careful review of the candidate or candidates recommended by a screening committee. This includes the right to reject all candidates and to order further review by the screening committee or to reopen the position where necessary to further achievement of the objectives of the equal employment opportunity plan or to ensure equal employment opportunity. However, a consistent pattern of not hiring qualified candidates from a monitored group who are recommended by screening committees may give rise to an inference that the selections are not consistent with the objectives of equal employment opportunity that are required by this subchapter.

§53025. Persons with Disabilities.
Note     •     History

(a) Districts shall ensure that applicants and employees with disabilities receive reasonable accommodations consistent with the requirements of Government Code sections 11135 et seq. and 12940(m), section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, and the Americans with Disabilities Act. Such accommodations may include, but are not limited to, job site modifications, job restructuring, part-time work schedules, flexible scheduling, reassignment to a reasonably equivalent vacant position, adaptive equipment, and auxiliary aids such as readers, interpreters, and notetakers. Such accommodations may be paid for with funds provided pursuant to article 3 (commencing with section 53030) of this subchapter.
(b) If a district established a goal for persons with disabilities prior to the effective date of this subsection and if significant underrepresentation still exists, it shall update that goal, set a new target date for achieving projected representation in the category or categories in question, and concurrently comply with subsections (a)(1), (a)(2) and (b) of section 53006 with respect to persons with disabilities.
(c) Where persons with disabilities are found to be significantly underrepresented, measures required under subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) of section 53006 shall be implemented concurrently with setting a goal with a target date for achieving projected representation for persons with a disability in each job category where the underrepresentation was found to exist. Goals shall remain in effect only until projected representation has been achieved for that group in the category or categories in question. Until the Chancellor's Office provides data regarding the availability of persons with disabilities by job category, an aggregate labor force availability rate shall be utilized for setting goals for hiring persons with disabilities with respect to the total district work force. The district may also concurrently take other additional steps which take disability into account, so long as such measures are discontinued when projected representation is achieved for persons with disabilities in the category or categories in question.

§53203. Powers.
Note     •     History

(a) The governing board of a community college district shall adopt policies for appropriate delegation of authority and responsibility to its college and/or district academic senate. Among other matters, said policies, at a minimum, shall provide that the governing board or its designees will consult collegially with the academic senate when adopting policies and procedures on academic and professional matters. This requirement to consult collegially shall not limit other rights and responsibilities of the academic senate which are specifically provided in statute or other Board of Governors regulations.
(b) In adopting the policies and procedures described in Subsection (a), the governing board or its designees shall consult collegially with representatives of the academic senate.
(c) While in the process of consulting collegially, the academic senate shall retain the right to meet with or to appear before the governing board with respect to the views, recommendations, or proposals of the senate. In addition, after consultation with the administration of the college and/or district, the academic senate may present its views and recommendations to the governing board.
(d) The governing board of a district shall adopt procedures for responding to recommendations of the academic senate that incorporate the following:
(1) in instances where the governing board elects to rely primarily upon the advice and judgment of the academic senate, the recommendations of the senate will normally be accepted, and only in exceptional circumstances and for compelling reasons will the recommendations not be accepted. If a recommendation is not accepted, the governing board or its designee, upon request of the academic senate, shall promptly communicate its reasons in writing to the academic senate.
(2) in instances where the governing board elects to provide for mutual agreement with the academic senate, and agreement has not been reached, existing policy shall remain in effect unless continuing with such policy exposes the district to legal liability or causes substantial fiscal hardship. In cases where there is no existing policy, or in cases where the exposure to legal liability or substantial fiscal hardship requires existing policy to be changed, the governing board may act, after a good faith effort to reach agreement, only for compelling legal, fiscal, or organizational reasons.
(e) An academic senate may assume such responsibilities and perform such functions as may be delegated to it by the governing board of the district pursuant to Subsection (a).
(f) The appointment of faculty members to serve on college or district committees, task forces, or other groups dealing with academic and professional matters, shall be made, after consultation with the chief executive officer or his or her designee, by the academic senate.

The FTEF of replacement faculty, whether full-time or part-time, shall be excluded from the computation to determine the full-time faculty percentage pursuant to section 53308.
Districts are required to fill the position(s) by the following Spring primary term unless designees for the district governing board and academic senate jointly agree that it is in the best interests of the district to delay the filling of the position. In such cases, replacement must be made by the following primary term or the Chancellor shall reduce the district's state apportionment revenues for the current year in accordance with the provisions of section 51025.

§53312. Additional Full-Time Faculty Positions.
Note     •     History

(a) The Chancellor shall compute the number of full-time faculty which each district is to secure in accordance with Sections 51025 and 53308, as the result of applying additional FTES growth and program improvement revenue allotments.
(b) This computation shall be made by dividing the applicable portion of program improvement revenue (0 percent, 33 percent, or 40 percent of the program improvement allocation), by the statewide average “replacement cost” (a figure which represents the statewide average faculty salary plus benefits, minus the statewide hourly rate of compensation for part-time instructors times the statewide average full-time teaching load).
(c) If the quotient determined in paragraph (b) is not a whole number, then the quotient shall be rounded down to the nearest whole number. If the quotient, once applied, will result in the district exceeding the 75 percent standard, the Chancellor shall further reduce the quotient to a whole number that will leave the district as close as possible to, but in excess of, the 75 percent standard.
(d) The computation for the funded growth in full-time equivalent student workload obligation to secure additional full-time faculty shall, when required pursuant to the provisions of Section 51025(a)(1) and (e), be made by multiplying the percentage of funded credit FTES growth times the base number of full-time faculty that were to be in place by Fall of the current year.

(3) student insurance programs
(4) environmental health and safety, including illness and injury prevention programs.
The local district governing board establishing a health supervision and services fee shall decide what scope and level of services will be provided. The board policy will be available to all students.
When the burden of supporting a student health program is shared by all students through a general fee, the programs and services for which the funds are expended must be sufficiently broad to meet health care needs of the general student body. Those programs and services directed at meeting the health care needs of a select few to the exclusion of the general student body shall not be supported through student health fees.
Nothing within these provisions shall prevent an exclusive service to a select group of students or service to the college faculty or staff; however, these services must be supported from sources other than the student fee.

§55002. Standards and Criteria for Courses.
Note     •     History

(a) Degree-Applicable Credit Course. A degree-applicable credit course is a course which has been designated as appropriate to the associate degree in accordance with the requirements of section 55062, and which has been recommended by the college and/or district curriculum committee and approved by the district governing board as a collegiate course meeting the needs of the students.
(1) Curriculum Committee. The college and/or district curriculum committee recommending the course shall be established by the mutual agreement of the college and/or district administration and the academic senate. The committee shall be either a committee of the academic senate or a committee that includes faculty and is otherwise comprised in a way that is mutually agreeable to the college and/or district administration and the academic senate.
(2) Standards for Approval. The college and/or district curriculum committee shall recommend approval of the course for associate degree credit if it meets the following standards:
(A) Grading Policy. The course provides for measurement of student performance in terms of the stated course objectives and culminates in a formal, permanently recorded grade based upon uniform standards in accordance with section 55023. The grade is based on demonstrated proficiency in subject matter and the ability to demonstrate that proficiency, at least in part, by means of essays, or, in courses where the curriculum committee deems them to be appropriate, by problem solving exercises or skills demonstrations by students.
(B) Units. The course grants units of credit based upon a relationship specified by the governing board between the number of units assigned to the course and the number of lecture and/or laboratory hours or performance criteria specified in the course outline. The course also requires a minimum of three hours of student work per week, including class time for each unit of credit, prorated for short-term, extended term, laboratory and/or activity courses.
(C) Intensity. The course treats subject matter with a scope and intensity that requires students to study independently outside of class time.
(D) Prerequisites and Corequisites. When the college and/or district curriculum committee determines, based on a review of the course outline of record, that a student would be highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade unless the student has knowledge or skills not taught in the course, then the course shall require prerequisites or corequisites that are established, reviewed, and applied in accordance with the requirements of this article.
(E) Basic Skills Requirements. If success in the course is dependent upon communication or computation skills, then the course shall require, consistent with the provisions of this article, as prerequisites or corequisites eligibility for enrollment in associate degree credit courses in English and/or mathematics, respectively.
(F) Difficulty. The course work calls for critical thinking and the understanding and application of concepts determined by the curriculum committee to be at college level.
(G) Level. The course requires learning skills and a vocabulary that the curriculum committee deems appropriate for a college course.
(3) Course Outline of Record. The course is described in a course outline of record that shall be maintained in the official college files and made available to each instructor. The course outline of record shall specify the unit value the expected number of contact hours for the course as a whole, the prerequisites, corequisites or advisories on recommended preparation (if any) for the course, the catalog description, objectives, and content in terms of a specific body of knowledge. The course outline shall also specify types or provide examples of required reading and writing assignments, other outside-of-class assignments, instructional methodology, and methods of evaluation for determining whether the stated objectives have been met by students.
(4) Conduct of Course. Each section of the course is to be taught by a qualified instructor in accordance with a set of objectives and with other specifications defined in the course outline of record.
(5) Repetition. Repeated enrollment is allowed only in accordance with the provisions of section 51002, article 4 (commencing with section 55040) of subchapter 1 of chapter 6, and section 58161.
(b) Nondegree-Applicable Credit Course. A credit course designated by the governing board as not applicable to the associate degree is a course which, at a minimum, is recommended by the college and/or district curriculum committee (the committee described and established under subdivision (a)(1) of this section) and is approved by the district governing board.
(1) Types of Courses. Nondegree-applicable credit courses are:
(A) nondegree-applicable basic skills courses as defined in subdivision (j) of section 55000; 
(B) courses designed to enable students to succeed in degree-applicable credit courses (including, but not limited to, college orientation and guidance courses, and discipline-specific preparatory courses such as biology, history, or electronics) that integrate basic skills instruction throughout and assign grades partly upon the demonstrated mastery of those skills; 
(C) precollegiate career technical preparation courses designed to provide foundation skills for students preparing for entry into degree-applicable credit career technical courses or programs;
(D) essential career technical instruction for which meeting the standards of subdivision (a) is neither necessary nor required.
(2) Standards for Approval. The college and/or district curriculum committee shall recommend approval of the course on the basis of the standards which follow. 
(A) Grading Policy. The course provides for measurement of student performance in terms of the stated course objectives and culminates in a formal, permanently recorded grade based upon uniform standards in accordance with section 55023. The grade is based on demonstrated proficiency in the subject matter and the ability to demonstrate that proficiency, at least in part, by means of written expression that may include essays, or, in courses where the curriculum committee deems them to be appropriate, by problem solving exercises or skills demonstrations by students.
(B) Units. The course grants units of credit based upon a relationship specified by the governing board between the number of units assigned to the course and the number of lecture and/or laboratory hours or performance criteria specified in the course outline. The course requires a minimum of three hours of student work per week, per unit, including class time and/or demonstrated competency, for each unit of credit, prorated for short-term, extended term, laboratory, and/or activity courses.
(C) Intensity. The course provides instruction in critical thinking and generally treats subject matter with a scope and intensity that prepares students to study independently outside of class time and includes reading and writing assignments and homework. In particular, the assignments will be sufficiently rigorous that students successfully completing each such course, or sequence of required courses, will have acquired the skills necessary to successfully complete degree-applicable work.
(D) Prerequisites and corequisites. When the college and/or district curriculum committee deems appropriate, the course may require prerequisites or corequisites for the course that are established, reviewed, and applied in accordance with this article.
(3) Course Outline of Record. The course is described in a course outline of record that shall be maintained in the official college files and made available to each instructor. The course outline of record shall specify the unit value, the expected number of contact hours for the course as a whole, the prerequisites, corequisites or advisories on recommended preparation (if any) for the course, the catalog description, objectives, and content in terms of a specific body of knowledge. The course outline shall also specify types or provide examples of required reading and writing assignments, other outside-of-class assignments, instructional methodology, and methods of evaluation for determining whether the stated objectives have been met by students. Taken together, these course specifications shall be such as to typically enable any student who successfully completes all of the assigned work prescribed in the outline of record to successfully meet the course objectives.
(4) Conduct of Course. All sections of the course are to be taught by a qualified instructor in accordance with a set of objectives and with other specifications defined in the course outline of record.
(5) Repetition. Repeated enrollment is allowed only in accordance with the provisions of section 51002, article 4 (commencing with section 55040) of subchapter 1 of chapter 6, and section 58161.
(c) Noncredit Course. A noncredit course is a course which, at a minimum, is recommended by the college and/or district curriculum committee (the committee described and established under subdivision (a)(1) of this section) and approved by the district governing board as a course meeting the needs of enrolled students.
(1) Standards for Approval. The college and/or district curriculum committee shall recommend approval of the course if the course treats subject matter and uses resource materials, teaching methods, and standards of attendance and achievement that the committee deems appropriate for the enrolled students. In order to be eligible for state apportionment, such courses must be approved by the Chancellor pursuant to article 2 (commencing with section 55150) of subchapter 2 of this chapter and satisfy the requirements of section 58160 and other applicable provisions of chapter 9 (commencing with section 58000) of this division.
(2) Course Outline of Record. The course is described in a course outline of record that shall be maintained in the official college files and made available to each instructor. The course outline of record shall specify the number of contact hours normally required for a student to complete the course, the catalog description, the objectives, contents in terms of a specific body of knowledge, instructional methodology, examples of assignments and/or activities, and methods of evaluation for determining whether the stated objectives have been met.
(3) Conduct of Course. All sections of the course are to be taught by a qualified instructor in accordance with the set of objectives and other specifications defined in the course outline of record.
(4) Repetition. Repeated enrollment is allowed only in accordance with provisions of section 58161.
(d) Community Services Offering. A community services offering must meet the following minimum requirements:
(1) is approved by the district governing board; 
(2) is designed for the physical, mental, moral, economic, or civic development of persons enrolled therein;
(3) provides subject matter content, resource materials, and teaching methods which the district governing board deems appropriate for the enrolled students;

§55003. Policies for Prerequisites, Corequisites and Advisories on Recommended Preparation.
Note     •     History

(a) The governing board of a community college district may establish prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories on recommended preparation, but must do so in accordance with the provisions of this article. Nothing in this subchapter shall be construed to require a district to establish prerequisites, corequisites, or advisories on recommended preparation; provided however, that a prerequisite or corequisite shall be required if the course is to be offered for associate degree credit and the curriculum committee finds that the prerequisite or corequisite is necessary pursuant to sections 55002(a)(2)(D) or 55002(a)(2)(E). Unless otherwise specified in this section, the level of scrutiny required to establish prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories on recommended preparation shall be based on content review as defined in subdivision (c) of section 55000 or content review with statistical validation as defined in subdivision (f) of this section. Determinations about prerequisites and corequisites shall be made on a course-by-course or program-by-program basis.
(b) A district governing board choosing to establish prerequisites, corequisites, or advisories on recommended preparation shall, in accordance with the provisions of sections 53200-53204, adopt policies for the following:
(1) the process for establishing prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories on recommended preparation. Such policies shall provide that in order to establish a prerequisite or corequisite, the prerequisite or corequisite must be determined to be necessary and appropriate for achieving the purpose for which it is being established. 
(2) procedures to assure that courses for which prerequisites or corequisites are established will be taught in accordance with the course outline of record, particularly those aspects of the course outline that are the basis for justifying the establishment of the prerequisite or corequisite.
(3) the process to ensure that each section of the prerequisite or corequsite is to be taught by a qualified instructor and in accordance with a set of objectives and with other specifications defined in the course outline of record, as required in section 55002 for all courses.
(4) the process, including levels of scrutiny, for reviewing prerequisites and corequisites to assure that they remain necessary and appropriate. These processes shall provide that at least once each six years all prerequisites and corequisites established by the district shall be reviewed, except that prerequisites and corequisites for vocational courses or programs shall be reviewed every two years. These processes shall also provide for the periodic review of advisories on recommended preparation. 
(5) the bases and process for an individual student to challenge the application of a prerequisite or corequisite.
(c) A district governing board choosing to use content review as defined in subdivision (c) of section 55000 to establish prerequisites or corequisites in reading, written expression or mathematics for degree-applicable courses not in a sequence shall first adopt a plan specifying:
(1) the method to be used to identify courses to which prerequisites might be applied;
(2) assurance that courses are reasonably available to students when prerequisites or corequisites have been established using content review as defined in subdivision (c) of section 55000. Such assurance shall include sufficient availability of the following:
(A) appropriate courses that do not require prerequisites or corequisites, whether basic skills or degree-applicable courses; and
(B) prerequisite or corequisite courses;
(3) provisions for training for the curriculum committee; and
(4) the research to be used to determine the impact of new prerequisites based on content review.
(d) Prerequisites or corequisites may be established only for any of the following purposes: 
(1) the prerequisite or corequisite is expressly required or expressly authorized by statute or regulation; or
(2) the prerequisite will assure, consistent with section 55002, that a student has the skills, concepts, and/or information that is presupposed in terms of the course or program for which it is being established, such that a student who has not met the prerequisite is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade in the course (or at least one course within the program) for which the prerequisite is being established; or
(3) the corequisite course will assure, consistent with section 55002, that a student acquires the necessary skills, concepts, and/or information, such that a student who has not enrolled in the corequisite is highly unlikely to receive a satisfactory grade in the course or program for which the corequisite is being established; or
(4) the prerequisite or corequisite is necessary to protect the health or safety of a student or the health or safety of others. 
(e) Except as provided in this subdivision, no prerequisite or corequisite may be established or renewed unless it is determined to be necessary and appropriate to achieve the purpose for which it has been established. A prerequisite or corequisite need not be scrutinized using content review as defined by subdivision (c) of section 55000 or content review with statistical validation as defined by subdivision (f) of this section, if:
(1) it is required by statute or regulation; or
(2) it is part of a closely-related lecture-laboratory course pairing within a discipline; or
(3) it is required by four-year institutions; or
(4) baccalaureate institutions will not grant credit for a course unless it has the particular communication or computation skill prerequisite.
(f) Content review with statistical validation is defined as conducting a content review (as defined in subdivision (c) of section 55000) and the compilation of data according to sound research practices which shows that a student is highly unlikely to succeed in the course unless the student has met the proposed prerequisite or corequisite. 
(g) If the curriculum committee, using content review with statistical validation, initially determines, pursuant to section 55002(a)(2)(E), that a new course needs to have a communication or computation skill prerequisite or corequisite, then, despite subdivision (e) of this section, the prerequisite or corequisite may be established for a single period of not more than two years while the research is being conducted and the final determination is being made, provided that all other requirements for establishing the prerequisite or corequisite have been met. The requirements of this subdivision related to collection of data shall not apply when the prerequisite or corequisite is required for enrollment in a program, that program is subject to approval by a state agency other than the Chancellor's Office and both of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1) colleges in at least six different districts have previously satisfied the data collection requirements of this subdivision with respect to the same prerequisite or corequisite for the same program; and
(2) the district establishing the prerequisite or corequisite conducts an evaluation to determine whether the prerequisite or corequisite has a disproportionate impact on particular groups of students described in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, age or disability, as defined by the Chancellor. When there is a disproportionate impact on any such group of students, the district shall, in consultation with the Chancellor, develop and implement a plan setting forth the steps the district will take to correct the disproportionate impact.
(h) Prerequisites, corequisites, and advisories on recommended preparation must be identified in college publications available to students as well as the course outline of any course for which they are established.
(i) By August 1 of each year districts choosing to establish prerequisites, corequisites or advisories shall submit to the Chancellor's Office in the manner specified by the Chancellor the prerequisites and corequisites that were established during the prior academic year. Districts shall also specify the level of scrutiny, i.e., content review as defined in subdivision (c) of section 55000 or content review with statistical validation as defined in subdivision (e) of this section, used to determine whether the prerequisite or corequisite was necessary and appropriate for achieving the purpose for which it was established.
(j) Prerequisites establishing communication or computational skill requirements may not be established across the entire curriculum unless established on a course-by-course basis.
(k) The determination of whether a student meets a prerequisite shall be based on successful completion of an appropriate course or on an assessment using multiple measures, as required by section 55521(a)(3). Any assessment instrument shall be selected and used in accordance with the provisions of subchapter 6 (commencing with section 55500) of this chapter.
(l) If a prerequisite requires precollegiate skills in reading, written expression, or mathematics, the district shall: 
(1) ensure that courses designed to teach the required skills are offered with reasonable frequency and that the number of sections available is reasonable given the number of students who are required to meet the associated skills prerequisites and who diligently seek enrollment in the prerequisite course.
(2) monitor progress on student equity in accordance with section 54220. Monitoring shall include:
(A) conducting an evaluation to determine the impact on student success including whether the prerequisite or corequisite has a disproportionate impact on particular groups of students described in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, age or disability, as defined by the Chancellor.
(B) where there is a disproportionate impact on any such group of students, the district shall, in consultation within the Chancellor, develop and implement a plan setting forth the steps the district will take to correct the disproportionate impact.
(m) Whenever a corequisite course is established, sufficient sections shall be offered to reasonably accommodate all students who are required to take the corequisite. A corequisite shall be waived as to any student for whom space in the corequisite course is not available.
(n) No exit test may be required to satisfy a prerequisite or corequisite unless it is incorporated into the grading for the prerequisite or corequisite course.
(o) The determination of whether a student meets a prerequisite shall be made prior to his or her enrollment in the course requiring the prerequisite, provided, however, that enrollment may be permitted pending verification that the student has met the prerequisite or corequisite. If the verification shows that the student has failed to meet the prerequisite, the student may be involuntarily dropped from the course. If the student is dropped, the applicable enrollment fees shall be promptly refunded.
Otherwise a student may only be involuntarily removed from a course due to excessive absences or as a result of disciplinary action taken pursuant to law or to the student code of conduct.
(p) Any prerequisite or corequisite may be challenged by a student on one or more of the grounds listed below. The student shall bear the initial burden of showing that grounds exist for the challenge. Challenges shall be resolved in a timely manner and, if the challenge is upheld, the student shall be permitted to enroll in the course or program in question. Grounds for challenge are:
(1) The prerequisite or corequisite has not been established in accordance with the district's process for establishing prerequisites and corequisites;
(2) The prerequisite or corequisite is in violation of this section;
(3) The prerequisite or corequisite is either unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner;
(4) The student has the knowledge or ability to succeed in the course or program despite not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite;
(5) The student will be subject to undue delay in attaining the goal of his or her educational plan because the prerequisite or corequisite course has not been made reasonably available; or
(6) Such other grounds for challenge as may be established by the district governing board.
(q) In the case of a challenge under subdivision (p)(3) of this section, the district shall promptly advise the student that he or she may file a formal complaint of unlawful discrimination pursuant to subchapter 5 (commencing with section 59300) of chapter 10 of this division. If the student elects to proceed with the challenge, completion of the challenge procedure shall be deemed to constitute an informal complaint pursuant to section 59327. 
(r) District policies adopted pursuant to this section shall be submitted to the Chancellor's Office as part of the district's matriculation plan pursuant to section 55510.

Note     •     History

(a) The policy adopted pursuant to section 55021 may permit courses to be offered in either or both of the following categories and, if so, shall require that each college catalog specify the category into which each course falls:
(1) Courses wherein all students are evaluated on a “pass-no pass” basis.
(2) Courses wherein each student may elect on registration, or no later than the end of the first 30 percent of the term, whether the basis of evaluation is to be “pass-no pass” or a letter grade.
(b) All units of credit earned on a “pass-no pass” or “credit-no credit” basis in accredited California institutions of higher education or equivalent out-of-state institutions shall be counted in satisfaction of community college curriculum requirements.
(c) Units earned on a “pass-no pass” basis shall not be used to calculate grade point averages. However, units attempted for which the symbol “NP” (as defined in section 55023) is recorded shall be considered in probation and dismissal procedures.
(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this chapter, a district may continue to designate courses as being offered on a “credit-no credit basis” instead of a “pass-no pass” basis and may continue to use the “CR” and “NC” symbols, as defined in section 55030, instead of the “P” and “NP” symbols until the Fall 2009 term. Until the Fall 2009 term, any reference in this chapter to the “P” symbol shall be deemed to include the “CR” symbol and any reference to the “NP” symbol shall be deemed to include the “NC” symbol.

§55023. Academic Record Symbols and Grade Point Average.
Note     •     History

(a) Except as provided in subdivisions (b) and (c), grades from a grading system shall be averaged on the basis of the point equivalencies to determine a student's grade point average using only the following evaluative symbols:

Symbol	Definition	Grade Point

	A	Excellent	4
	B	Good	3
	C	Satisfactory	2
	D	Less than satisfactory	1
	F	Failing 	0
	P	Passing (At least satisfactory - units awarded not
		counted in GPA. Has the same meaning as “CR”
	 	as that symbol was defined prior to June 30,
		2007.) 
	NP	No Pass (Less than satisfactory, or failing - units
		not counted in GPA. NP has the same meaning as
		“NC” as that symbol was defined prior to June 30,
		2007.)
(b) The governing board of a community college district may use “plus” and “minus” designations in combination with letter grades, except that the grade of C minus shall not be used. If pluses and minuses are used, the grade point value of a plus shall be computed by adding 0.3 to the value assigned to the letter grade with which it is combined, and the grade point value of a minus shall be computed by subtracting 0.3 from the value assigned to the letter grade with which it is combined, except that no grade point value shall be less than 0 or greater than 4.0.
(c) Regardless of whether the governing board elects to use plus and minus grading, it may provide for the use of the “FW” grade symbol to indicate that a student has both ceased participating in a course some time after the last day to officially withdraw from the course without having achieved a final passing grade, and that the student has not received district authorization to withdraw from the course under extenuating circumstances. The “FW” symbol may not be used if a student has qualified for and been granted military withdrawal. If “FW” is used, its grade point value shall be zero (0).
(d) The governing board of each community college district shall publish the point equivalencies for the grades used in subdivision (a), or, subdivisions (a) and (b) (if pluses and minuses are used) in the catalog or catalogs of each college in the district as a part of its grading policies. In the event the governing board chooses to use the “FW” described in subdivision (c), it shall be included in the grading system and point equivalencies published in the catalog.
(e) The governing board of each community college district may authorize the use, under controls and conditions specified below, of only the following nonevaluative symbols:

Symbol	Definition

	I	Incomplete: Incomplete academic work for unforeseeable, emergency and justifiable reasons at the end of the term may result in an “I” symbol being entered in the student's record. The condition for the removal of the “I” shall be stated by the instructor in a written record. This record shall contain the conditions for the removal of the “I” and the grade assigned in lieu of its removal. This record must be given to the student with a copy on file with the registrar until the “I” is made up or the time limit has passed. A final grade shall be assigned when the work stipulated has been completed and evaluated, or when the time limit for completing the work has passed.

		The “I” may be made up no later than one year following the end of the term in which it was assigned.

		The “I” symbol shall not be used in calculating units attempted nor for grade points. The governing board shall provide a process whereby a student may petition for a time extension due to unusual  circumstances.

	IP	In progress: The “IP” symbol shall be used only in those courses which extend beyond the normal end of an academic term. It indicates that work is “in progress,” but that assignment of an evaluative symbol (grade) must await its completion. The “IP” symbol shall remain on the student's permanent  record in order to satisfy enrollment documentation. The appropriate evaluative symbol (grade) and unit credit shall be assigned and appear on the student's permanent record for the term in which the course is completed. The “IP”shall not be used in  calculating grade point averages. If a student  enrolled in an “open-entry, open-exit” course is assigned an “IP” at the end of a term and does not re-enroll in that course during the subsequent term, the appropriate faculty will assign an evaluative symbol (grade) in accordance with subdivision (a) or (a) and (b) if plus and minus grading is used) to be recorded on the student's permanent record for the course.

	RD	Report Delayed: The “RD” symbol may be assigned by the registrar only. It is to be used when there is a delay in reporting the grade of a student due to  circumstances beyond the control of the student. It is a temporary notation to be replaced by a  permanent symbol as soon as possible. “RD” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages.

	W	Withdrawal: The “W” symbol may be used to  denote withdrawal in accordance with the requirements of section 55024.

	MW	Military Withdrawal: The “MW” symbol may be used to denote military withdrawal in accordance with section 55024.
(f) In calculating students' degree-applicable grade point averages, grades earned in nondegree-applicable credit courses shall not be included.

§55024. Withdrawal.
Note     •     History

(a) The governing board of a district which decides to provide a withdrawal procedure shall adopt a policy which provides for withdrawal from credit courses consistent with the following:
(1) Withdrawal from a course or courses shall be authorized through the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction (or 75 percent of a term, whichever is less). The governing board, however, may establish a final withdrawal date which prohibits withdrawal after a designated point in time between the end of the fourth week of instruction (or 30 percent of a term, whichever is less) and the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction (or 75 percent of a term, whichever is less). The academic record of a student who remains in a course beyond the time allowed by district policy must reflect a symbol as authorized in section 55023 other than a “W.”
(2) The governing board may by regulation authorize withdrawal from a course or courses in extenuating circumstances after the last day of the fourteenth week (or 75 percent of the term, whichever is less) upon petition of the student or his or her representative and after consultation with the appropriate faculty. Extenuating circumstances are verified cases of accidents, illnesses or other circumstances beyond the control of the student.
(3) No notation (“W” or other) shall be made on the academic record of the student who withdraws during the first four weeks or 30 percent of a term, whichever is less. The governing board may establish a period of time shorter than the first four weeks or 30 percent of a term, during which no notation shall be made.
(4) Withdrawal between the end of the fourth week (or such time as established by the district) and the last day of the fourteenth week of instruction (or 75 percent of a term, whichever is less) shall be authorized, provided the appropriate faculty is informed.
(5) Withdrawal after the end of the fourteenth week (or 75 percent of a term, whichever is less) when the district has authorized such withdrawal in extenuating circumstances, after consultation with appropriate faculty, shall be recorded as a “W.”
(6) For purposes of withdrawal policies, the term “appropriate faculty” means the instructor of each course section in question or, in the event the instructor cannot be contacted, the department chair or appropriate administrator. 
(7) The “W” shall not be used in calculating grade point averages, but shall be used in determining probation and dismissal pursuant to article 3 of this subchapter.
(8) A “W” shall not be assigned, or if assigned shall be removed, from a student's academic record, if a determination is made pursuant to sections 59300 et seq. that the student withdrew from the course due to discriminatory treatment or due to retaliation for alleging discriminatory treatment.
(9) The district policy shall establish the number of times (not to exceed three times) that a student may withdraw and receive a “W” symbol on his or her record for enrollment in the same course. The district policy may permit a student to enroll again in a course after having previously received the authorized number of “W” symbols in the same course in colleges within the district, if the chief instructional officer, chief student services officer or other district official designated in the district policy approves such enrollment after review of a petition filed by the student.
(10) The district policy may provide that a “W” symbol will not be assigned to any student who withdrew from one or more classes, where such withdrawal was necessary due to fire, flood or other extraordinary conditions and the withdrawal is authorized by the district pursuant to section 58509. 
(11) The district policy shall include provisions for intervention in cases of multiple withdrawals.
(b) Within the parameters set forth in subdivision (a), criteria for withdrawal and the procedures to accomplish it shall be established by the district governing board and published in college catalogs.
(c) A district's responsibilities with respect to enrollment or attendance accounting shall not be modified or superseded in any way by adoption of a withdrawal policy.
(d) The governing board of a district which decides to provide a withdrawal policy shall also adopt military withdrawal procedures consistent with the following:
(1) “Military Withdrawal” occurs when a student who is a member of an active or reserve United States military service receives orders compelling a withdrawal from courses. Upon verification of such orders, a withdrawal symbol may be assigned at any time after the period established by the governing board during which no notation is made for withdrawals. The withdrawal symbol so assigned shall be a “MW.”
(2) Military withdrawals shall not be counted in progress probation and dismissal calculations.
(3) “MW” shall not be counted for the permitted number of withdrawals.
(4) In no case may a military withdrawal result in a student being assigned an “FW” grade.

(a) The district policy and procedures on course repetition adopted pursuant to section 55040 may designate as repeatable courses only those courses described in this section.
(b) If a district permits repetition of courses regardless of whether substandard academic work has been recorded, repetition shall be permitted, without petition, in instances when such repetition is necessary for a student to meet a legally mandated training requirement as a condition of continued paid or volunteer employment. Such courses must conform to all attendance accounting, course approval, and other requirements imposed by applicable provisions of law. Such courses may be repeated for credit any number of times. The governing board of a district may establish policies and procedures requiring students to certify or document that course repetition is necessary to complete legally mandated training pursuant to this subdivision.
(c) The district policy adopted pursuant to section 55040 may also designate courses of the types described in this subdivision as repeatable courses, subject to the following conditions: 
(1) The district must identify the courses which are to be repeatable, and designate such courses in its catalog.
(2) The district must determine and certify that each identified course is one in which either:
(A) the course content differs each time it is offered; or 
(B) the course is an activity course where the student meets course objectives by repeating a similar primary educational activity and the student gains an expanded educational experience each time the course is repeated for one of the following reasons:
(i) Skills or proficiencies are enhanced by supervised repetition and practice within class periods; or
(ii) Active participatory experience in individual study or group assignments is the basic means by which learning objectives are obtained.
(3) Activity courses which may qualify as repeatable courses meeting the requirements of paragraph (2)(B) of this subdivision include, but are not limited to the following:
(A) Physical education courses; or 
(B) Visual or performing arts courses in music, fine arts, theater or dance. 
(4) foreign language courses, ESL courses and nondegree-applicable basic skills courses are not considered “activity courses” for purposes of paragraph (2)(B of this subdivision).

(6) Students may repeat a course pursuant to this subdivision for not more than three semesters or five quarters. For purposes of this subdivision, semesters or quarters include summer or intersessions.
(7)(A) Except as provided in subparagraph (B) of this paragraph, where a college establishes several levels of courses which consist of similar educational activities, the repetition limitation in paragraph (6) of this subdivision applies to all levels of courses that involve a similar primary educational activity regardless of whether the repetitions reflect multiple enrollments in a single course or in multiple courses involving the same primary activity. 
(B) Visual or performing arts courses in music, fine arts, theater or dance which are part of a sequence of transfer courses are not subject to subparagraph (A) of this paragraph. 
(d) When a course is repeated pursuant to this section, the grade received each time shall be included for purposes of calculating the student's grade point average.

§55042. Course Repetition to Alleviate Substandard Academic Work.
Note     •     History

(a) The district policies and procedures on course repetition adopted pursuant to section 55040 may permit a student to repeat a course in an effort to alleviate substandard academic work. 
(b) If a student repeats a course which is not designated as a repeatable course and receives a satisfactory grade, then he or she may not repeat the course again pursuant to this section and any further repetition of the course must be authorized by another provision of this division. If a student repeats the course and receives another substandard grade, the district policy may permit the student to repeat the course one additional time in an effort to alleviate substandard work. District policy may permit a student to petition to repeat a course for which three substandard grades have been assigned, provided apportionment is not claimed pursuant to section 58161. The first two substandard grades may be excluded in computing the student's GPA if the student repeats the class two or more times.
(c) If a student repeats a repeatable course and a substandard grade has been recorded, district policy may allow the previous grade and credit to be disregarded provided that no additional repetitions are permitted beyond those limits specified in section 55041(c)(6). No more than two substandard grades may be alleviated pursuant to this section.
(d) Notwithstanding section 55041, policies and procedures related to course repetition to alleviate substandard academic work shall:

§55043. Course Repetition Due to Significant Lapse of Time.
Note     •     History

(a) In addition to permitting course repetition in the circumstances described in other provisions of this article, a district may also permit or require repetition of a course where the student received a satisfactory grade the last time he or she took the course but the district determines that there has been a significant lapse of time since that grade was obtained and: 
(1) the district has properly established a recency prerequisite for a course or program pursuant to section 55003 or has otherwise defined “significant lapse of time” in its policy on course repetition; or 
(2) another institution of higher education to which the student seeks to transfer has established a recency requirement which the student will not be able to satisfy without repeating the course in question. 
(b) If the district determines that a student needs to repeat an activity course of the type described in subdivision (c)(2)(B) of section 55041 due to significant lapse of time, that repetition shall be counted in applying the limit on repetitions set forth in subdivision (c)(6) of section 55041 except that, if the student has already exhausted the number of repetitions permitted under subdivision (c)(6), an additional repetition due to significant lapse of time may be permitted or required by the district. 
(c) When a course is repeated pursuant to this section, the district policy may allow the previous grade and credit to be disregarded in computing the student's GPA.

§55061. Philosophy and Criteria for Associate Degree and General Education.
Note     •     History

(a) The governing board of a community college district shall adopt a policy which states its specific philosophy on General Education. In developing this policy governing boards shall consider the following policy of the Board of Governors: 
The awarding of an Associate Degree is intended to represent more than an accumulation of units. It is to symbolize a successful attempt on the part of the college to lead students through patterns of learning experiences designed to develop certain capabilities and insights. Among these are the ability to think and to communicate clearly and effectively both orally and in writing; to use mathematics; to understand the modes of inquiry of the major disciplines; to be aware of other cultures and times; to achieve insights gained through experience in thinking about ethical problems; and to develop the capacity for self-understanding. In addition to these accomplishments, the student shall possess sufficient depth in some field of knowledge to contribute to lifetime interest.
Central to an Associate Degree, General Education is designed to introduce students to the variety of means through which people comprehend the modern world. It reflects the conviction of colleges that those who receive their degrees must possess in common certain basic principles, concepts and methodologies both unique to and shared by the various disciplines. College educated persons must be able to use this knowledge when evaluating and appreciating the physical environment, the culture, and the society in which they live. Most importantly, General Education should lead to better self-understanding.
In establishing or modifying a general education program, ways shall be sought to create coherence and integration among the separate requirements. It is also desirable that general education programs involve students actively in examining values inherent in proposed solutions to major social problems.
(b) The governing board of a community college district shall also establish criteria to determine which courses may be used in implementing its philosophy on the associate degree and general education.
(c) The governing board of a community college district shall, on a regular basis, review the policy and criteria established pursuant to subdivisions (a) and (b) of this section.

§55062. Types of Courses Appropriate to the Associate Degree.
Note     •     History

The criteria established by the governing board of a community college district to implement its philosophy on the associate degree shall permit only courses that conform to the standards specified in section 55002(a) and that fall into the following categories to be offered as degree-applicable credit courses:
(a) All lower division courses accepted toward the baccalaureate degree by the California State University or University of California or designed to be offered for transfer.
(b) Courses that apply to the major or area of emphasis in non-baccalaureate career technical fields.
(c) English composition or reading courses not more than one level below the first transfer level course. Each student may count only one such course below transfer level for credit toward the associate degree, except that reading courses which also satisfy the requirements of subdivision (a) are not subject to this limit. English as a Second Language (ESL) courses which teach composition or reading skills are not considered to be English composition or reading courses for purposes of this subdivision. 
(d) All mathematics courses above and including Elementary Algebra.
(e) Credit courses in English and mathematics taught in or on behalf of other departments and which, as determined by the local governing board require entrance skills at a level equivalent to those necessary for the courses specified in subdivisions (c) and (d) above.

§55063. Minimum Requirements for the Associate Degree.
Note     •     History

The governing board of a community college district shall confer the associate degree upon a student who has demonstrated competence in reading, in written expression, and in mathematics, and who has satisfactorily completed at least 60 semester units or 90 quarter units of degree-applicable credit course work (as defined in section 55002(a)) which falls into the categories described in section 55062. A college may also accept toward satisfaction of this requirement courses that were not completed at a California community college that would reasonably be expected to meet or exceed the standards of section 55002(a).
Effective for all students admitted to a community college for the Fall 2009 term or any term thereafter, competence in written expression shall be demonstrated by obtaining a satisfactory grade in an English course at the level of the course typically known as Freshman Composition (either Freshman Composition or another English course at the same level and with the same rigor, approved locally) or by completing an assessment conducted pursuant to subchapter 6 of this chapter (commencing with section 55500) and achieving a score determined to be comparable to satisfactory completion of the specified English course. Satisfactory completion of an English course at the level of Freshman Composition shall satisfy both this competency requirement and the coursework requirement set forth in subdivision (b)(1)(D)(i) of this section.
Effective for all students admitted to a community college for the Fall 2009 term or any term thereafter, competence in mathematics shall be demonstrated by obtaining a satisfactory grade in a mathematics course at the level of the course typically known as Intermediate Algebra (either Intermediate Algebra or another mathematics course at the same level, with the same rigor and with Elementary Algebra as a prerequisite, approved locally) or by completing an assessment conducted pursuant to subchapter 6 of this chapter (commencing with section 55500) and achieving a score determined to be comparable to satisfactory completion of the specified mathematics course. Satisfactory completion of a mathematics course at the level of Intermediate Algebra shall satisfy both this competency requirement and the coursework requirement set forth in subdivision (b)(1)(D)(ii) of this section.
The competency requirements for written expression and mathematics may also be met by obtaining a satisfactory grade in courses in English and mathematics taught in or on behalf of other departments and which, as determined by the local governing board, require entrance skills at a level equivalent to those necessary for Freshman Composition and Intermediate Algebra respectively. Requirements for demonstrating competency in reading shall be locally determined.
The required 60 semester or 90 quarter units of course work must be fulfilled in a curriculum accepted toward the degree by a college within the district (as shown in its catalog). It must include at least 18 semester or 27 quarter units in general education and at least 18 semester or 27 quarter units in a major or area of emphasis as prescribed in this section. Of the total required units, at least 12 semester or 18 quarter units must be completed in residence at the college granting the degree. Exceptions to residence requirements for the associate degree may be made by the governing board when it determines that an injustice or undue hardship would be placed on the student.
(a) Requirements for a major or area of emphasis. 
(1) At least 18 semester or 27 quarter units of study must be taken in a single discipline or related disciplines, as listed in the community colleges “Taxonomy of Programs,” or in an area of emphasis involving lower division coursework which prepares students for a field of study or for a specific major at the University of California or the California State University.
(2) Effective for all students admitted to a community college for the Fall 2009 term or any term thereafter, each course counted toward the unit requirement of this subdivision must be completed with a grade of C or better or a “P” if the course is taken on a “pass-no pass” basis.
(b) General Education Requirements.
(1) Students receiving an associate degree shall complete a minimum of 18 semester or 27 quarter units of general education coursework which includes a minimum of three semester or four quarter units in each of the areas specified in paragraphs (A), (B) and (C) and the same minimum in each part of paragraph (D). The remainder of the unit requirement is also to be selected from among these four divisions of learning or as determined by local option:
(A) Natural Sciences. Courses in the natural sciences are those which examine the physical universe, its life forms, and its natural phenomena. To satisfy the general education requirement in natural sciences, a course shall be designed to help the student develop an appreciation and understanding of the scientific method, and encourage an understanding of the relationships between science and other human activities. This category would include introductory or integrative courses in astronomy, biology, chemistry, general physical science, geology, meteorology, oceanography, physical geography, physical anthropology, physics and other scientific disciplines.
(B) Social and Behavioral Sciences. Courses in the social and behavioral sciences are those which focus on people as members of society. To satisfy the general education requirement in social and behavioral sciences, a course shall be designed to develop an awareness of the method of inquiry used by the social and behavioral sciences. It shall be designed to stimulate critical thinking about the ways people act and have acted in response to their societies and should promote appreciation of how societies and social subgroups operate. This category would include introductory or integrative survey courses in cultural anthropology, cultural geography, economics, history, political science, psychology, sociology and related disciplines.
(C) Humanities. Courses in the humanities are those which study the cultural activities and artistic expressions of human beings. To satisfy the general education requirement in the humanities, a course shall be designed to help the student develop an awareness of the ways in which people throughout the ages and in different cultures have responded to themselves and the world around them in artistic and cultural creation and help the student develop aesthetic understanding and an ability to make value judgments. Such courses could include introductory or integrative courses in the arts, foreign languages, literature, philosophy, and religion.
(D) Language and Rationality. Courses in language and rationality are those which develop for the student the principles and applications of language toward logical thought, clear and precise expression and critical evaluation of communication in whatever symbol system the student uses. Such courses include: 
(i) English Composition. Courses fulfilling the written composition requirement shall be designed to include both expository and argumentative writing.
(ii) Communication and Analytical Thinking. Courses fulfilling the communication and analytical thinking requirement include oral communication, mathematics, logic, statistics, computer languages and programming, and related disciplines.
(2) Ethnic Studies will be offered in at least one of the areas required by subdivision (1).
(c) While a course might satisfy more than one general education requirement, it may not be counted more than once for these purposes. A course may be used to satisfy both a general education requirement and a major or area of emphasis requirement. Whether it may be counted again for a different degree requirement is a matter for each college to determine. Students may use the same course to meet a general education requirement for the associate degree and to partially satisfy a general education requirement at the California State University, if such course is accepted by that system to satisfy a general education requirement.
(d) For the purpose of this section, “satisfactorily completed” means either credit earned on a “pass-no pass” basis or a grade point average of 2.0 or better in community college credit courses in the curriculum upon which the degree is based.

Article 7. Credit Certificates
§55070. Credit Certificates.
Note     •     History

(a) Any sequence of courses consisting of 18 or more semester units or 27 or more quarter units of degree-applicable credit coursework shall constitute an educational program subject to approval by the Chancellor pursuant to section 55130. The college-awarded document confirming that a student has completed such a program shall be known as a certificate of achievement and may not be given any other designation. The award of a certificate of achievement is intended to represent more than an accumulation of units. Listing of the certificate of achievement on a student transcript symbolizes successful completion of patterns of learning experiences designed to develop certain capabilities that may be oriented to career or general education; provided however, that no sequence or grouping of courses may be approved as a certificate of achievement pursuant to this section if it consists solely of basic skills and/or ESL courses. For purposes of this subdivision, the term “general education” includes coursework taken to satisfy transfer patterns established by the University of California, the California State University, or accredited public postsecondary institutions in adjacent states which award the baccalaureate degree.
(b) Shorter credit programs leading to a certificate may be established without review and approval by the Chancellor after approval by the college curriculum committee and the district governing board. Such a certificate may be given any name or designation deemed appropriate by the district governing board, except that such a certificate may not be referred to as a certificate of achievement, a certificate of completion, or a certificate of competency, unless approved by the Chancellor pursuant to subdivision (c). Such a certificate may not be listed on a student's transcript, unless approved by the Chancellor pursuant to subdivision (c).
(c) A district may submit any sequence of courses consisting of 12 or more semester units or 18 or more quarter units of degree-applicable credit coursework to the Chancellor and request that it be approved as a program leading to a certificate of achievement. The Chancellor may approve such a program if he or she determines that it satisfies the requirements of subdivision (a) despite requiring fewer than 18 semester or 27 quarter units of degree-applicable credit coursework.
(d) Content and assessment standards for certificates shall be defined by the local curriculum committee and comply with the requirements of this chapter. Such standards should also ensure that certificate programs will be consistent with the mission of the college, meet a demonstrated need, be feasible, and adhere to guidelines on academic integrity which may be developed by the Chancellor, the Academic Senate for California Community Colleges or other appropriate statewide bodies.
(e) A description of each approved program shall be included in the college catalog. 
(f) The Chancellor shall develop forms and procedures for submission of applications for approval of a program leading to a certificate of achievement.
(g) Provisions of this section regarding the naming or designation of certificates shall become effective for the Fall 2008 term.

The required 160 credits of high school level course work must be fulfilled in a core curriculum consisting of courses in the categories described in paragraph (2) and accepted toward the diploma by a college within the district (as shown in its catalog). A college may accept toward satisfaction of this requirement courses that were completed at an accredited high school or college that would reasonably be expected to meet or exceed the standards of this section, provided that at least 20 of the total 160 required high school credits must be completed in residence at the college granting the diploma.
(2) The curriculum must include the indicated minimum number of high school credits in each of the areas listed below. Each course shall be of a duration sufficient to permit a student to master the content of the course as specified in the content standards described in paragraph (3).

§55185. Additional Criteria for Approval of Educational Centers.
Note     •     History

(a) In addition to satisfying the other requirements of this article, in order for a proposed center to be considered for state approval as an educational center after May 1, 2008, the needs assessment required by section 55182 must demonstrate that the proposed educational center meets at least one of the following criteria or those specified in subdivision (b): 
(1) The proposed educational center will generate at least 500 full-time equivalent student (FTES) in the first full academic year of operation to be used for eligibility to become an educational center by replacing locations other than the main campus of an existing college that have generated at least 500 FTES as reported on the district's most recent final attendance reports. 
(2) In service areas of proposed educational centers where locations other than an existing college are constrained by site limitations from providing the full range of instruction proposed for the educational center, as determined by standards set by the Chancellor, the proposed educational center must be able to generate at least 500 FTES in the first full academic year of operation that is used for eligibility to become an educational center based on both of the following: 
(A) the total number of FTES currently reported for courses offered at locations other than the main campus of an existing college which reported FTES on the district's most recent final attendance report and are to be replaced by the proposed educational center; and
(B) the number of FTES the proposed educational center is projected to generate, based on a thorough analysis of current attendance practices, as a result of students residing in the proposed service area who currently attend courses offered at locations outside the proposed service area and would be expected to attend courses offered at the proposed educational center. 
(b) If the service area of a proposed educational center has an exceptionally high rate of population growth, as determined by standards set by the Chancellor, the district may obtain conditional approval of the educational center by demonstrating that, by no later than the third consecutive full academic year of operation that is used for eligibility to become an educational center, the proposed center will be able to generate at least 500 FTES in a year. This conclusion must be based on a thorough analysis, which includes but is not limited to, a review of the facility development schedule, population trends and projected demand for the educational programs to be included in the proposed educational center. Once the district demonstrates that the educational center has generated at least 500 FTES as reported on the district's most recent final attendance report, then full state approval for the educational center may be granted.

(1) Conduct field trips or excursions in connection with courses of instruction or instructionally-related social, educational, cultural, athletic, or band activities to and from places in the state, or any other state, the District of Columbia, or a foreign country for students enrolled in a college. A field trip or excursion to and from a foreign country may be permitted to familiarize students with the language, history, geography, natural sciences, and other studies relative to the district's course of study for the students.
(2) Engage instructors, supervisors, and other personnel who desire to contribute their services over and above the normal period for which they are employed by the district, if necessary, and provide equipment and supplies for the field trip or excursion.
(3) Transport students, instructors, supervisors or other personnel to and from places in the state, any other state, the District of Columbia, or a foreign country where the excursion or field trip is being conducted. Transportation may be provided by use of district equipment, by contracting with a transportation provider, or by arranging transportation by the use of other equipment. When district equipment is used, the governing board shall secure liability insurance, and if travel is to and from a foreign country, the liability insurance shall be secured from a carrier licensed to transact insurance business in the foreign country.
(4) Provide supervision of students involved in field trips or excursions by academic employees of the district.
(b) No student shall be prevented from taking a field trip or excursion which is integral to the completion of a course because of lack of sufficient funds. To this end the governing board shall coordinate efforts of community service groups to supply funds for students in need of them.
(c) No group shall be permitted to take a field trip or excursion which is integral to the completion of a course if any student who is a member of such an identifiable group will be excluded from participation in the field trip or excursion because of lack of sufficient funds. Nothing in this subdivision or subdivision (b) shall be construed to prevent a district from offering a study abroad course or program because a particular student or group of students is unable to participate in the course or program due to lack of funds. 
(d) Expenses of students participating in a field trip or excursion authorized by this section may not be paid with public funds, except where:
(1) the expenditure is authorized pursuant to subdivision (a); or 
(2) funds from a state or federal grant or categorical program are used consistent with the statutory, regulatory or contractual conditions applicable to the expenditure of such funds.
(e) For purposes of subdivision (d), funds of an auxiliary organization duly established pursuant to education Code section 72670 et seq. shall not be considered to be public funds. 
(f) Expenses of instructors, chaperons, and other personnel participating in a field trip or excursion authorized by this section may be paid from district funds, and the district may pay from district funds all incidental expenses for the use of district equipment during a field trip or excursion authorized by this section.
(g) The attendance or participation of a student in a field trip or excursion authorized by this section may be claimed for apportionment to the extent that the field trip or excursion is part of a course. However, attendance claimed for apportionment as a result of a field trip or excursion shall be limited to the amount of attendance that would have accrued had the students not been engaged in the field trip or excursion. No more contact hours shall be generated by a field trip or excursion than if the class were held on campus.
(h) All persons making the field trip or excursion shall be deemed to have waived all claims against the district or the State of California for injury, accident, illness, or death occurring during or by reason of the field trip or excursion. All adults taking out-of-state field trips or excursions and all parents or guardians of minor students taking out-of-state field trips or excursions shall sign a statement waiving such claims.

The employer and the qualified Community College Instructor/Coordinator shall share responsibility for on-the-job supervision, which shall include but not be limited to:
(1) Instructor/Coordinator consultation in person with employers or designated representatives to discuss students' educational growth on the job.
(2) Written evaluation of students' progress in meeting planned on-the-job learning objectives.
(3) Consultation with students in person to discuss students' educational growth on the job.
(b) The district shall provide the above services at least once each quarter or semester for each student enrolled in the Cooperative Work Experience Education. Qualified adjunct faculty may be hired from other institutions to develop the learning contracts and make the “in-person” consultation for a student that is out of a college's geographical region, state, or in another country. For legally indentured apprentices, the requirements of this section may be delegated to the Joint Apprenticeship Committee in order to avoid duplication of supervisory services. The responsibility for compliance with Education Code and title 5 Cooperative Work Experience Education requirements remains with the college.

The guidelines will specify the types of alternatives which districts may approve and the circumstances under which they may be used. In establishing and maintaining guidelines on such alternatives, the Chancellor shall consult with, and rely primarily on the advice and judgment of, the statewide Academic Senate and shall provide a reasonable opportunity for comment by other statewide and regional representative groups.

§55502. Definitions.
Note     •     History

For purposes of this subchapter, the following definitions shall apply:
(a) “Matriculation” means a process that brings a college and an enrolled student into an agreement for the purpose of realizing the student's educational goal through the college's established programs, policies, and requirements. This agreement is to be implemented by means of the student's individual educational plan developed pursuant to section 55525.
(b) “Assessment” means the process of gathering information about individual students to facilitate student success. Assessment shall include, but is not limited to, information regarding the student's study skills, English language proficiency, computational skills, aptitudes, goals, learning skills, career aspirations, academic performance, and need for special services. Assessment involves the collection of such information at any time before or after enrollment, except that the process by which an instructor assigns a grade or otherwise evaluates the extent to which a student has achieved the objectives of a course shall not be considered part of the assessment process. Once a grade has been assigned and recorded on a student's transcript, it can be used in the assessment process.
(c) “Assessment instruments, methods, or procedures” means one or more assessment instruments, assessment methods, or assessment procedures, or any combination thereof. These include, but are not limited to, interviews, standardized tests, holistic scoring processes, attitude surveys, vocational or career aptitude and interest inventories, high school or college transcripts, specialized certificates or licenses, educational histories and other measures of performance. The term “assessment instruments, methods, or procedures” also includes assessment procedures such as the identification of test scores which measure particular skill levels, the administrative process by which students are referred for assessment, the manner in which assessment sessions are conducted, the manner in which assessment results are made available, and the length of time required before such results are available. The term “assessment instrument” does not include a test which is used solely to determine whether a student who has formally challenged a prerequisite or corequisite pursuant to subdivision (m)(4) of section 55003 has the knowledge or ability to succeed in a course or program despite not meeting the prerequisite or corequisite. 
(d) “Disproportionate impact” occurs when the percentage of persons from a particular racial, ethnic, gender, age or disability group who are directed to a particular service or placement based on an assessment instrument, method, or procedure is significantly different from the representation of that group in the population of persons being assessed, and that discrepancy is not justified by empirical evidence demonstrating that the assessment instrument, method or procedure is a valid and reliable predictor of performance in the relevant educational setting.
(e) “Exemption” means waiving or deferring a student's participation in orientation, assessment, counseling, or advisement required pursuant to subdivisions (b), (c), and (f) of section 55520.
(f) “Matriculation services” are those services listed in section 55520.
(g) “Matriculation practices” means one or more instruments, methods, or procedures, or any combination thereof, used in providing any of the matriculation services listed in section 55520.
(h) “Orientation” is a process which acquaints students and potential students with college programs, services, facilities and grounds, academic expectations, and institutional procedures.
(i) “Student follow-up” is the process of monitoring a student's progress toward his or her educational goals and providing the student with appropriate advice based on the results of such monitoring.

§55512. Evaluation and Audits.
Note     •     History

(a) Each community college district shall establish a program of institutional research for ongoing evaluation of its matriculation process to ensure compliance with the requirements of this subchapter.
As part of this evaluation, all assessment instruments, methods or procedures shall be evaluated to ensure that they minimize or eliminate cultural or linguistic bias and are being used in a valid manner. Based on this evaluation, districts shall determine whether any assessment instrument, method or procedure has a disproportionate impact on particular groups of students described in terms of ethnicity, gender, age or disability, as defined by the Chancellor. When there is a disproportionate impact on any such group of students, the district shall, in consultation with the Chancellor, develop and implement a plan setting forth the steps the district will take to correct the disproportionate impact. The evaluation shall include, but not be limited to, an analysis of the degree to which the matriculation program:
(1) impacts on particular courses, programs, and facilities;
(2) helps students to define their educational goals;
(3) promotes student success, as evidenced by outcome and retention data such as student persistence, goal attainment, skill improvement, and grades;
(4) assists the district in the assessment of students' educational needs;
(5) matches district resources with students' educational needs; and
(6) provides students with the support services described in section 55520(g).
(b) Each district shall also, as part of its annual financial audit, provide for a review of the revenue and expenditures of the matriculation program.

Note     •     History

The Board of Governors finds and declares that it is in the interest of the state and of the people thereof for the state to aid community college districts in finding cost-effective methods of conserving energy in buildings maintained by the districts. The Board of Governors also finds that while many districts may desire to participate in energy conservation programs designed to reduce the steadily rising costs of meeting the energy needs of district buildings, that the costs involved in improving existing facilities to become more energy efficient are often prohibitive.
It is the intent of the Board of Governors in adopting this regulation to encourage community college districts to retrofit buildings so as to conserve energy and reduce the costs of supplying energy.

§58003.1. Full-time Equivalent Student; Computation.
Note     •     History

(a) Pursuant to the provisions of section 58051, the units of full-time equivalent student for apportionment purposes shall be computed for courses, including those delivered by distance education under article 1 (commencing with section 55200) of subchapter 3 of chapter 6, based on the type of course, the way the course is scheduled, and the length of the course.
(b) The governing board of each community college district shall, for each of its colleges or its district, select and establish a single primary term length for credit courses that are scheduled regularly with respect to the number of days of the week and the number of hours the course meets each week, inclusive of holidays. The units of full-time equivalent student of credit courses scheduled coterminously with the term, exclusive of independent study and cooperative work-experience education courses, shall be computed by multiplying the student contact hours of active enrollment as of Monday of the weeks nearest to one-fifth of the length of the term, unless other weeks are specified by the Chancellor to incorporate past practice, by the term length multiplier, and divided by 525. The term length multiplier for attendance accounting purposes shall be determined in accordance with this chapter, provided that the maximum multiplier for semester length terms shall be 17.5 and the maximum multiplier for quarter length terms shall be 11.67.
(c) For credit courses scheduled to meet for five or more days and scheduled regularly with respect to the number of hours during each scheduled day, but not scheduled coterminously with the college's primary term established pursuant to subdivision (b), or scheduled during the summer or other intersession, the units of full-time equivalent student, exclusive of independent study and cooperative work-experience education courses, shall be computed by multiplying the daily student contact hours of active enrollment as of the census days nearest to one fifth of the length of the course by the number of days the course is scheduled to meet, and dividing by 525.
(d) For credit courses scheduled to meet for fewer than five days, and all credit courses scheduled irregularly with respect to the number of days of the week and the number of hours the course meets on the scheduled days, the units of full-time equivalent student, exclusive of independent study and cooperative work-experience education courses, shall be computed by dividing actual student contact hours of attendance by 525.
(e) For all open entry-open exit credit courses and for all noncredit courses otherwise eligible for state aid, except those described in subdivision (f), the units of full-time equivalent student shall be computed by dividing actual student contact hours of attendance by 525.
(f) For distance education courses not computed using other attendance accounting procedures described in this section and for independent study and cooperative work-experience education courses, the following alternative attendance accounting procedure shall be used:
(1) For credit courses, for purposes of computing full-time equivalent student only, one weekly student contact hour shall be counted for each unit of credit for which a student is enrolled in one of those courses. The full-time equivalent student of those courses shall be computed by multiplying the units of credit for which students are enrolled as of the census day prescribed in subdivision (b) or (c), as appropriate, for the primary term or intersession and duration for which the course is scheduled, by the term length multiplier as provided for in subdivision (b), and dividing by 525.
(2) For noncredit course sections covered by this subdivision, for purposes of computing full-time equivalent student only, weekly student contact hours shall be derived by counting the total hours of instruction or programming received by the students, plus instructor contact as defined in sections 55204 or 55234, plus outside-of-class work expected as noted in the course outline of record and approved by the curriculum committee, and dividing the total number of hours for the course thus derived by 54. Hours of instruction or programming received shall be independently verified by the instructor using a method or procedure approved by the district according to policies adopted by the local governing board as required by section 58030. Full-time equivalent student for such noncredit course sections shall be computed by: 
(A) multiplying the average of the number of students actively enrolled in the section as of each census date (those dates nearest to one-fifth and three-fifths of the length of the course section) by, 
(B) the weekly student contact hours as derived above in this section, by 
(C) the primary term length multiplier of 17.5, and 
(D) dividing by 525.
(g) Notwithstanding subdivisions (b) and (c) of this section, the units of full-time equivalent student for any credit course other than independent study and cooperative work-experience education courses may, at the option of the district, be computed by dividing the actual student contact hours of attendance by 525. When a district chooses to exercise the option of computing attendance for any course section by the actual student contact hours method, such method must be used consistently for all attendance accounting for that section.

§58051. Method for Computing Full-Time Equivalent Student (FTES).
Note     •     History

(a)(1) Except as otherwise provided, in computing the full-time equivalent student of a community college district, there shall be included only the attendance of students while they are engaged in educational activities required of students and while they are under the immediate supervision and control of an academic employee of the district authorized to render service in the capacity and during the period in which he or she served.
(2)(A) A community college district may also include the attendance of students enrolled in approved courses or programs of independent study who are under the supervision, control, and evaluation, but not necessarily in the immediate presence, of an academic employee of the district who is authorized to render such service. 
(B) The community college district shall determine the nature, manner, and place of conducting any independent study courses or program in accordance with the requirements of this section and article 3 (commencing with section 55230) of subchapter 3 of chapter 6. 
(C) Each district conducting independent study courses shall ensure that the components of each independent study course or program for each student shall be set out in a written record or program, including the number of units (if applicable) and hours of study required, the arrangements for consultation with the instructor, and the work product to be evaluated.
(3) A community college district may also include the attendance of students enrolled in approved distance education in accordance with the provisions of article 1 (commencing with section 55200) of subchapter 3 of chapter 6.
(b) For the purpose of work-experience education programs meeting the standards of the Carl D. Perkins Career Technical Education Act of 2006 California State Plan (or any successor agreement related to career technical education), “immediate supervision” of off-campus work training stations means student participation in on-the-job training as outlined under a training agreement, coordinated by the community college district under a state-approved plan, wherein the employer and academic school personnel share the responsibility for on-the-job supervision. The student/instructor ratio in the work-experience education program shall not exceed 125 students per full-time equivalent academic coordinator.
(c) For purposes of computing the full-time equivalent student of a community college district, attendance shall also include student attendance and participation in in-service training courses in the areas of police, fire, corrections, and other criminal justice system occupations that conform to all apportionment attendance and course of study requirements otherwise imposed by law, if the courses are fully open to the enrollment and participation of the public. However, prerequisites for the courses shall not be established or construed so as to prevent academically qualified persons who are not employed by agencies in the criminal justice system from enrolling in and attending the courses.
(d) Notwithstanding subdivision (c) and any regulations related thereto, a community college may give preference in enrollment to persons who are employed by, or serving in a voluntary capacity with, a fire protection or fire prevention agency in any course of in-service fire training at the community college in cooperation with any fire protection or fire prevention agency or association. Preference shall only be given when such persons could not otherwise complete the course within a reasonable time and when no other training program is reasonably available. At least 15 percent of the enrollment in in-service fire training courses shall consist of persons who are neither volunteers of, nor employed by, a fire protection or fire prevention agency or association, if the persons are available to attend a course. Full-time equivalent student for the courses may be reported for state aid.
(e) Subdivision (d) shall apply only to the following:
(1) Community colleges which, in cooperation with any fire protection or fire prevention agency or association, have been, as of January 1, 1980, the primary source of in-service fire training for any fire protection or fire prevention agency or association.
(2) Community colleges which, in cooperation with any fire protection or fire prevention agency or association, establish in-service fire training for any fire protection or fire prevention agency or association which did not have in-service fire training, prior to January 1, 1980.
(f) In the event that in-service training courses are restricted to employees of police, fire, corrections, and other criminal justice agencies, attendance for the restricted courses shall not be reported for purposes of state apportionments. A community college district which restricts enrollment in in-service training courses may contract with any public agency to provide compensation for the cost of conducting such courses.
(g) Positive records of student admissions and full-time equivalent student in all in-service training courses in the areas of police, fire, corrections, and other criminal justice system occupations, as described in subdivision (c), shall be maintained by each district.

§58056. Immediate Supervision and Control.
Note     •     History

(a) Subdivision (a)(1) of section 58051 requires, as a condition for claiming attendance for apportionment purposes, the immediate supervision and control of an academic employee authorized to render service in a capacity and during the period in which he or she served. Immediate supervision and control requires the presence of the authorized employee. More specifically, immediate supervision or presence is characterized by all of the following:
(1) The authorized employee is able, in terms of physical proximity and range of communication, to provide immediate instructional supervision and control; and
(2) The authorized employee is in a position to provide the supervision and control necessary for the protection of the health and safety of students; and
(3) The authorized employee is not to have any other assigned duty during the instructional activity for which attendance is being claimed. The criteria specified above are to be applied in recognition of the fact that the need for immediate supervision will vary according to the course being offered, as well as with the design or mode of instruction of such course or program.
(b) Under the following limited circumstances, attendance of students enrolled in a course or program which does not meet the requirements of subdivision (a) shall qualify for apportionment purposes if:
(1) The course or program is approved and being conducted as distance education in accordance with article 1 (commencing with section 55200) of subchapter 3 of chapter 6; or
(2) The course or program is approved and being conducted as independent study in accordance with subchapter 4 (commencing with section 55300) of chapter 6; or
(3) The course or program is approved and being conducted as work experience education in accordance with article 4 (commencing with section 55250) of subchapter 3 of chapter 6 of this part; or
(4) The course or program is approved and is being conducted as health sciences education in accordance with section 58055(a).
(c) Attendance generated solely under an instructional assistant or aide does not qualify for apportionment. In addition, instructional aides shall not be used to increase the number of students in relation to the number of classroom instructors in the district. However, attendance may qualify for apportionment under the following limited circumstances:
(1) The assistant or aide functions under the exclusive direction of the authorized employee assigned to that educational activity, and not independently; and
(2) The assistant or aide performs only those duties specifically authorized by law, including, but not limited to, sections 88240-88249 of the Education Code; and,
(3) The authorized employee is able, in terms of physical proximity and range of communication, to provide necessary supervision and control of students, so that by working in conjunction with the assistant or aide, the requirements of subsection (a) of this section are met.

Note     •     History

In order to be claimed for purposes of state apportionment, all courses shall be open to enrollment by any student who has been admitted to the college, provided that enrollment in specific courses or programs may be limited as follows:
(a) Enrollment may be limited to students meeting prerequisites and corequisites established pursuant to section 55003,
(b) Enrollment may be limited due to health and safety considerations, facility limitations, faculty workload, the availability of qualified instructors, funding limitations, the constraints of regional planning or legal requirements imposed by statutes, regulations, or contracts. The governing board shall adopt policies identifying any such limitations and requiring fair and  equitable procedures for determining who may enroll in affected courses or programs. Such procedures shall be consistent with one or more of the following approaches:
(1) limiting enrollment to a “first-come, first-served” basis or using other nonevaluative selection techniques to determine who may enroll; or
(2) limiting enrollment using a registration procedure authorized by section 58108; or
(3) in the case of intercollegiate competition, honors courses, or public performance courses, allocating available seats to those students judged most qualified; or
(4) limiting enrollment in one or more sections of a course to a cohort of students enrolled in one or more other courses, provided however, that a reasonable percentage of all sections of the course do not have such restrictions; or
(5) limiting enrollment using any selection procedure expressly authorized by statute; or 
(6) with respect to students on probation or subject to dismissal, the governing board may, consistent with the provisions of sections 55031 and 55032, limit enrollment to a total number of units or to selected courses, or require students to follow a prescribed educational plan.
(c) A student may challenge an enrollment limitation established pursuant to subdivision (b) on any of the following grounds:
(1) the enrollment limitation is either unlawfully discriminatory or is being applied in an unlawfully discriminatory manner;
(2) the district is not following its policy on enrollment limitations;
(3) the basis upon which the district has established an enrollment limitation does not in fact exist; or
(4) any other criteria established by the district.
(d) The student shall bear the burden of showing that grounds exists for the challenge. Challenges shall be handled in a timely manner, and if the challenge is upheld, the district shall waive the enrollment limitation with respect to that student.
(e) In the case of a challenge under subdivision (c)(1), the district shall, upon completion of the challenge procedure, advise the student that he or she may file a formal complaint of unlawful discrimination pursuant to subchapter 5 (commencing with section 59300) of chapter 10. Completion of the challenge procedure shall be deemed to be an effort at informal resolution of the complaint under section 59327.

(c) Districts shall limit their credit FTES in nonpriority areas to two percent (2%) of total credit FTES.
(d) If the Chancellor determines that a district has generated more than two percent (2%) of its credit FTES in areas outside the priority areas identified in subdivision (b), he or she shall notify the district that it will be subject to a reduction in its general apportionment (including growth for apportionment) to the extent that its full-time equivalent students exceeds the two percent (2%) cap.
(e) The reduction of a district's apportionment pursuant to subdivision (d) of this section, shall be held in abeyance if, within thirty (30) days of receiving notice of the proposed reduction, the district elects to submit to the Chancellor an explanation of how it is complying with the priorities established by this section.
(f) If the explanation is unsatisfactory, the Chancellor shall request the district to prepare a compliance plan within ninety (90) days of the request for the plan. If no plan is submitted, the plan is unsatisfactory or the district fails to adhere to the plan, the Chancellor shall proceed to make the reduction in apportionment to subdivision (d).
(g) For purposes of this section, degree applicable and ESL courses will be presumed to be related to student needs in the priority categories unless the Chancellor receives evidence to the contrary.
(h) This regulation shall be effective beginning with the 2004-05 academic year.

(b) Where a community college in a district maintaining more than one community college is closed for a part of a term by order of a city or county board of health or of the State Board of Health, or because of fire, flood, impassable roads, epidemic, or other emergency, or by an order provided for in (a), the full-time equivalent student of the community college shall be estimated separately, as provided in (c), and added to the full-time equivalent student of the other community colleges of the district.
(c) Whenever the full-time equivalent student of any district during any fiscal year has been materially decreased during any fiscal year because of:
(1) fire,
(2) flood,
(3) impassable roads,
(4) an epidemic,
(5) the imminence of a major safety hazard as determined by the local law enforcement agency,
(6) a strike involving transportation services to students provided by a nondistrict entity,
(7) the unavailability of classroom facilities leased by the district where the unavailability commences July 1, 2005, or thereafter and is caused by extraordinary factors wholly external to and beyond the control of the district, or
(8) an order provided for in (a). The facts demonstrating the applicability of one of the circumstances described in this subdivision shall be established to the satisfaction of the Chancellor by affidavits of the members of the governing board of the district.

The provisions of this section shall apply to any funding workload measure which occurs during any part of a fiscal year.
(d) As a condition to receiving the credit under subdivision (c), the district must demonstrate to the satisfaction of the Chancellor that it made good faith efforts to seek alternate facilities that were unaffected by the circumstances described in subdivision (c).
(e) No credit under subdivision (c) will be allowed for the unavailability of facilities for more than one full term beyond the beginning of the circumstances described in subdivision (c) unless authorized by the Board of Governors.

(2) The attendance of a student with a disability may be claimed for state apportionment each time the student repeats a credit special class as a disability-related accommodation which is justified by one of the circumstances described in section 56029. 
(3) The attendance of a student repeating a portion of a variable unit open entry/open exit credit course may be counted for state apportionment only to the extent that repetition of such courses is permitted pursuant to section 55044. 
(4) The attendance of a student repeating a cooperative work experience course pursuant to section 55253 may be claimed for state apportionment without limitation.

§58310. Report on District's Financial Condition.
Note     •     History

The chief executive officer or other designee of the governing board of each district shall regularly report in detail to the governing board of the district the district's financial condition and shall submit reports showing the financial and budgetary conditions of the district, including outstanding obligations, to the governing board at least once every three months. The chief executive officer or other designee shall also prepare a quarterly report on forms provided by the Chancellor. The district shall submit a copy of the certified report to the appropriate county offices and the Chancellor no later than forty-five days following the completion of each quarter. The certified report shall be reviewed by the district governing board at a regularly scheduled meeting and entered into the minutes of the meeting.
Upon review and analysis of the report, the Chancellor or his/her designee shall determine if follow-up or intervention is needed. Intervention may be necessary if a district's financial data indicate a high probability that, if trends continue unabated, the district will need an emergency apportionment within three years or that the district is not in compliance with the principles of sound fiscal management specified in section 58311. Such follow-up or intervention may include, but shall not be limited to, requiring the submission of additional or more frequent reports, requiring the district to respond to specific concerns, and directing the district to prepare and adopt a detailed plan for achieving fiscal stability and an educational plan demonstrating the impact of the fiscal plan on the district's educational program.
Intervention may also include the assignment of a special trustee having the authority described in section 58312 to any district that requires intervention within the five fiscal years immediately following the ending date of the services of a previously assigned special trustee. The renewed assignment of a special trustee under this paragraph may be made upon a finding by the Chancellor or his/her designee that if trends continue unabated, the district will need an emergency apportionment within three years or that the district is noncompliant with the principles of sound fiscal management specified in section 58311, except that the special trustee may only assume management and control of the district if authorized to do so by the Board of Governors. The costs incurred by the performance of the special trustee shall be paid in the manner described in subdivision (f) of section 58312 from funds which would have otherwise been apportioned to the district.
The Chancellor shall develop and maintain procedures for the administration of the fiscal monitoring program specified in Education Code section 84040 and this section.

§58311. Principles for Sound Fiscal Management.
Note     •     History

In any organization certain principles, when present and followed, promote an environment for growth, productivity, self-actualization, and progress. The following principles shall serve as the foundation for sound fiscal management in community college districts:
1. Each district shall be responsible for the ongoing fiscal stability of the district through the responsible stewardship of available resources.
2. Each district will adequately safeguard and manage district assets to ensure the ongoing effective operations of the district. Management will maintain adequate cash reserves, implement and maintain effective internal controls, determine sources of revenues prior to making short-term and long-term commitments, and establish a plan for the repair and replacement of equipment and facilities.
3. District personnel practices will be consistent with legal requirements, make the most effective use of available human resources, and ensure that staffing costs do not exceed estimates of available financial resources.
4. Each district will adopt policies  to ensure that all auxiliary activities that have a fiscal impact on the district comport with the educational objectives of the institution and comply with sound accounting and budgeting principles, public disclosures, and annual independent audit requirements.
5. Each district's organizational structure will incorporate a clear delineation of fiscal responsibilities and establish staff accountability.
6. Appropriate district administrators will keep the governing board current on the fiscal condition of the district as an integral part of the policy- and decision-making processes.
7. Each district will effectively develop and communicate fiscal policies, objectives, procedures, and constraints to the governing board, staff, and students.
8. Each district will have an adequate management information system that provides timely, accurate, and reliable fiscal information to appropriate staff for planning, decisionmaking, and budgetary control.
9. Each district will adhere to appropriate  fiscal policies and procedures and have adequate controls to ensure that established fiscal objectives are met.
10. District management will have a process to evaluate significant changes in the fiscal environment and make necessary, timely, financial and educational adjustments.
11. District financial planning will include both short-term and long-term goals and objectives, and broad-based input, and will be coordinated with district educational planning.
12. Each district's capital outlay budget will be consistent with its five-year plan and reflect regional planning and needs assessments.
To the extent that the foregoing principles repeat or paraphrase mandates already in existence, these underlying mandates shall continue to be legally binding. Otherwise, these principles, by themselves, shall be applied to the extent that existing state and district funding is available.

§58312. Inadequate Plans by District or Failure to Implement Plans; Authorized Actions by the Chancellor.
Note     •     History

If the Chancellor determines that the district's plans prepared and adopted pursuant to section 58310 are inadequate to solve the financial problems or to implement the principles of sound fiscal management, or if the district substantially fails to implement the plans, the Chancellor shall have the authority to take any of the following actions. The Chancellor should first utilize measures which minimize interference with normal district operation, unless he or she determines that acting otherwise is necessary to prevent the worsening of fiscal conditions at the district.
(a) Conduct a comprehensive management review of the district and its educational programs and an audit of the financial condition of the district. The Chancellor may also contract for, or request another appropriate agency to conduct, the reviews and audit or require the district, at the expense of the district, to contract for the reviews and audit. The terms and conditions of the contract and the final selection of a contractor shall be subject to the written approval of the Chancellor.
(b) Direct the district to amend and readopt the fiscal and educational plans prepared pursuant to section 58310 based on the findings of the comprehensive audits.
(c) Review and monitor the implementation of the plans and direct the district to make any further modifications to the fiscal and educational plans he or she deems necessary for the district's achievement of fiscal stability.
(d) Appoint or assign a special trustee at district expense for the period of time necessary for the district to achieve fiscal stability or solvency or to implement the principles of sound fiscal management. The Chancellor shall establish benchmarks that indicate the presence of local capacity to manage fiscal duties. The special trustee shall have recognized expertise in finance, and may, with the approval of the Chancellor, employ on a short-term basis any staff necessary to assist the special trustee. The Chancellor shall determine and specify in writing the duties of the special trustee, which may include, but are not limited to, any or all of the following:
(1) Reviewing and monitoring the plans, reports, and other financial material required under section 58310 and this section.
(2) Requiring any further modifications to the fiscal and educational plans which he or she deems necessary.
(3) Determining district spending levels and priorities to further the district's achievement of fiscal stability.
(4) Approving or disapproving actions of the district which affect or relate to the implementation of the fiscal and educational plans.
(e) If the Chancellor determines that further efforts to have the district modify or implement the plans would be futile, the Chancellor may, with the approval of the Board of Governors, also authorize a special trustee appointed pursuant to subdivision (d) to assume management and control of the district, including assumption of the legal rights, powers and duties of the governing board of the district to the full extent deemed necessary by the Board of Governors in order to achieve fiscal stability or solvency or to implement the principles of sound fiscal management set forth in section 58311. The Chancellor may authorize the special trustee to exercise such powers as are approved by the Board of Governors for a period of no more than one year, unless the Board of Governors approves one or more one-year extensions. The exercise by the special trustee of such powers shall be subject to all legal requirements applicable to the district. The governing board of the district may not exercise any authority so assumed.
(f) The Chancellor may require the district, at district expense, to pay all costs incurred in performing any of the services described in this section. This may include requiring the district to employ staff or contract for services necessary to assist the special trustee, to compensate the special trustee for his or her services and for any expenses or liabilities that he or she may incur, to insure the special trustee, and to defend, indemnify and hold harmless the special trustee, the Office of the Chancellor or its employees and the state for any liability arising out of or in connection with the conduct of the district or its governing board prior to the appointment of the special trustee. Alternatively, or to the additional extent necessary, the Chancellor may withhold funds necessary to pay for any or all such costs incurred in performing the services described herein from funding that would otherwise have been apportioned to the district under Section B of the State School Fund.

(a) Reduce or withhold any apportionment to the district in any amount he or she deems appropriate.
(b) Report to the Board of Governors and the chairs of the educational policy and fiscal committees of both houses of the Legislature, the Director of Finance, and the Governor regarding the reasons for the continuing lack of fiscal stability at the district, any actions taken against the district, and the Chancellor's recommendations regarding further steps necessary to restore the district to fiscal stability or solvency or to bring it into compliance with the principles of sound fiscal management.

§58316. Appropriation for Emergency Apportionment; Repayment Schedule.
Note     •     History

(a) If the procedures pursuant to Sections 58310, 58312 and 58314 fail to stabilize the financial condition of the district before an emergency apportionment is necessary, the Chancellor may seek an appropriation for an emergency apportionment in an amount necessary to maintain the educational programs of the district as specified in the educational plan pursuant to Sections 58310 and 58312 and to preclude a negative ending balance.
(b) For each of three fiscal years, the Controller shall deduct from apportionments paid to a district pursuant to law, an amount not less than one-third of the amount actually allocated to the district pursuant to this section, together with amounts representing interest at a rate based on the most current investment rate of the Pooled Money Investment Account as of the date of the disbursement of funds to the district.
For each of three fiscal years, the amount deducted by the Controller pursuant to this subdivision shall be reapportioned to the source of the funds allocated to the district pursuant to this section. Amounts so reapportioned to Section B of the State School Fund shall be apportioned by the Chancellor to districts to alleviate any deficits in state funding in the year in which the loan is made or during the period of repayment. Unless otherwise determined pursuant to subdivision (c), the three-year repayment period shall consist of three consecutive fiscal years commencing with the fiscal year following the year in which the emergency apportionment is made.
(c) Any district which has received an emergency apportionment pursuant to this section may request a revision of the repayment schedule. The request shall be submitted to the Chancellor, the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, and the Director of Finance. The request shall be accompanied by appropriate justification for any deferral of repayment, including a revision to the plans adopted by the district's governing board as specified in this section, together with specified identification of the reasons that the actions were taken by the district to correct the financial problems.
The Chancellor shall consult with representatives of the Joint Legislative Audit Committee, the Joint Legislative Budget Committee, the Director of Finance, and representatives which the Chancellor may select from the chief executive officers and presidents of the other community colleges and districts throughout the state. After consulting with these representatives, the Chancellor may revise the repayment schedule, may forgive the interest payments otherwise compounded as a result of any deferral of payment, and may specify any conditions that he or she determines are necessary to assure the repayment of the emergency apportionment. The Chancellor shall report his or her actions to the Board of Governors, the Director of Finance, the Controller, and Joint Legislative Budget Committee. The Controller shall deduct amounts from the apportionment schedule in accordance with the revised repayment plan.

Article 8. Allocation Process
§58770. State Apportionment Procedure.
Note     •     History

(a)(1) Except as provided in subdivisions (2) or (3), the fiscal year revenues for each community college district shall be the noncredit base revenues associated with the funded FTES specified in subdivision (c) of section 58771, plus the credit base revenues associated with the funded FTES specified in subdivision (b) of section 58771, plus the career development and college preparation noncredit base revenues associated with the funded FTES specified in subdivision (d) of section 58771, plus the basic allocation base revenues as defined in subdivisions (e) and (i) of section 58771, plus the inflation adjustments specified in section 58773, plus the workload adjustments specified in section 58774, plus the budget stability adjustment specified in section 58776.
(2) If the sum of the local property tax and fee revenues as defined in subdivision (b) equals or exceeds a district's fiscal year revenue as calculated pursuant to subdivision (1) above, then the fiscal year revenue for that district shall be the sum of the property tax and fee revenues pursuant to subdivision (b) rather than the figure calculated pursuant to subdivision (1). If, in the subsequent year, the sum of the local property tax and fee revenues as defined in subdivision (b) equals or is less than the district's fiscal year revenue as calculated pursuant to subdivision (1) above, then the base revenue for that fiscal year for that district shall be equal to the district's prior year total computational revenue.
(3) If a district's revenue for the 2006-07 fiscal year is based on the program-based funding principles authorized by former Education Code section 84750, as provided for by paragraph (9) of subdivision (d) of Education Code section 84750.5, then the revenue for that district for subsequent fiscal years shall be the higher of:
(A) its prior year total computational revenue, plus the inflation adjustments specified in section 58773, plus the workload adjustments specified in section 58774, plus the budget stability adjustment specified in section 58776; or
(B) the figure calculated pursuant to paragraph (1) of this subdivision. Beginning with the fiscal year for which the higher amount for a district is the figure calculated pursuant to paragraph (1), for each fiscal year thereafter the district's fiscal year revenue shall be calculated pursuant to paragraph (1).
(b) For each community college district, the Chancellor shall subtract from the revenues determined pursuant to subdivision (a), the local property tax revenue specified by law for general operating support, exclusive of bond interest and redemption, timber yield tax revenue pursuant to section 38905.1 of the Revenue and Taxation Code, and 98 percent of the fee revenues required to be collected pursuant to Education Code section 76300. The remainder shall be the state general apportionment for each district.
(c) The Chancellor shall adjust the amount determined pursuant to subdivision (b) and the corresponding FTES associated with that adjustment to provide for prior year adjustments required pursuant to sections 51102, 58134, 59112 et seq. or other provisions of this division authorizing subsequent adjustment of a district's apportionment.
(d) Warrants shall be drawn on the State Treasury by the Controller in favor of the treasurer of each county for the allocations certified by the Chancellor in accordance with the following schedule, as adjusted by the Chancellor in accordance with the provisions of subdivision (e):
(1) Eight percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in July.
(2) Eight percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in August.
(3) Twelve percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in September.
(4) Ten percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in October.
(5) Nine percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in November.
(6) Five percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in December.
(7) Eight percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in January.
(8) The remaining percent of district eligibility shall be allocated in the months for February through June on a schedule as certified by the Chancellor.
(e) The Chancellor may, upon the demonstrated need of any community college district for increased levels of allocations of state funds in any month based on district expenditure patterns and cash flow needs, adjust the allocations provided in subdivision (d), provided that the total of the allocations to be made between July 1 and February 1 shall not exceed 70 percent. The Chancellor may also revise the levels of allocation on a system-wide basis to accommodate legislated deferrals of the system's appropriated apportionment not included in subdivision (d).
(f) The Chancellor, at the request of a governing board of a community college district, and when necessary to maintain the secure deposit and prudent investment of district funds, may direct the Controller to draw warrants in favor of the Local Agency Investment Fund within the State Treasury in lieu of drawing warrants in favor of the county treasurer of the county in which the district resides. The governing board shall certify, and the Chancellor shall find, that the revenues being apportioned are not required for immediate needs.

§58771. Base Fiscal Year Revenues.
Note     •     History

(a) The base revenues for each community college district shall be the sum of the revenues received for the preceding fiscal year in accordance with section 58770 (including any subsequent adjustments pursuant to subdivision (c) thereof), exclusive of section 58776, plus any unfunded shortage in revenues identified pursuant to the provisions of sections 58772 and 58779, less any adjustment for declining FTES pursuant to section 58774 in the preceding fiscal year.
(b) Base credit FTES shall be the funded FTES of the prior fiscal year.
(c) Base noncredit FTES shall be the funded noncredit FTES of the prior fiscal year.
(d) Base career development and college preparation noncredit FTES shall be the funded career development and college preparation noncredit FTES of the prior fiscal year. The 2006-07 fiscal year begins with a base of zero FTES.
(e) Base basic allocation level shall be contingent upon the status of the college, center and FTES criteria pursuant to subdivision (i) of this section.
(f) The noncredit base revenue for each community college district shall be equal to the units of base noncredit FTES determined pursuant to subdivision (c), multiplied by the base rate of $2,479.23; in subsequent years the base rate shall be the prior year base rate plus an inflation adjustment pursuant to section 58773. The 2006-07 marginal rate for noncredit FTES after the inflation adjustment is $2,626.00.
(g) The credit base revenue for each community college district shall be equal to the units of base credit FTES determined pursuant to subdivision (b), multiplied by the base rate of $4,122.92 in the 2006-07 fiscal year; in subsequent years the base rate shall be the prior year base rate plus an inflation adjustment pursuant to section 58773(b). The 2006-07 marginal rate for credit FTES after the inflation adjustment is $4,367.00.
(h) The career development and college preparation noncredit base revenue for each community college district shall be equal to the units of base career development and college preparation noncredit FTES determined pursuant to subdivision (d) multiplied by the base funding rate for that year. In  subsequent years the base rate shall be the prior year base rate plus an inflation adjustment pursuant to section 58773. In 2006-07, the marginal rate will be $3,092.00 if the $30 million provided for this category of FTES is adequate to fully fund all qualifying FTES.
(i) The basic allocation base revenue for each community college district shall be contingent upon the number and size of colleges and educational centers, as those terms are defined in section 55180 and this section. The annual basic allocation base rates for fiscal year 2006-07 shall be the basic allocation rates shown below. The basic allocation base rate for subsequent years will be the 2006-07 base rate plus any inflation adjustments applied in intervening years. Apportionment allocations for the basic allocation base revenues and base rates are based on the prior year's FTES as reported on the final attendance report. The unadjusted basic allocation base rates, before any inflation adjustment for 2006-07, shall be:
(1) Single college districts: $5,000,000 per single college district with FTES equal to or greater than 20,000.
(2) Single college districts: $4,000,000 per single college district with FTES equal to or greater than 10,000 FTES but less than 20,000 FTES.
(3) Single college districts: $3,000,000 per single college district with less than 10,000 FTES.
(4) Multi-college districts: $4,000,000 per college with FTES equal to or greater than 20,000 FTES; $3,500,000 per college with FTES equal to or greater than 10,000 FTES but less than 20,000 FTES; and $3,000,000 per college with less than 10,000 FTES.
(5) Educational centers: $1,000,000 for each center described in subdivision (b)(1) of section 55180 and reporting 1,000 or more FTES. A district is not eligible for the basic allocation revenue provided by this subdivision associated with an educational center that is approved by the Board of Governors on or after May 1, 2008, unless and until the Chancellor determines that the center reported at least 1,000 FTES on the district's most recent final attendance report. 
(6) Grandparented centers described in subdivision (b)(2) of section 55180: amounts as specified below for 2006-07 plus inflation adjustments to be applied to calculate the entitlement for subsequent years.

(A) Greater than or equal to 1,000 FTES:	$1,000,000

(B) Greater than or equal to 750 FTES but less than 
1,000 FTES:	$750,000

(C) Greater than or equal to 500 FTES but less than 
750 FTES:	$500,000

(D) Greater than or equal to 250 FTES but less than 
500 FTES:	$250,000

(E) Greater than or equal to 100 FTES but less than 
250 FTES:	$125,000
(7) For grandparented centers described in subdivision (b)(2) of section 55180, the amount of certified FTES used to calculate the center's 2006-07 entitlement shall not be increased until the center in question is approved as an educational center pursuant to article 4 of subchapter 2 of chapter 6 (commencing with section 55180) but may be decreased in accordance with the provisions of paragraph (8) below. The provisions of paragraphs (10) and (11) of this subdivision shall not apply to a grandparented center pursuant to paragraph (6) above until it is approved as an educational center pursuant to article 4 of subchapter 2 of chapter 6 (commencing with section 55180).
(8) Beginning with fiscal year 2005-06, districts shall report FTES for each college and educational center in accordance with guidance from the Chancellor's Office. These FTES will be used to calculate the amount of basic allocation earned by each district. If an educational center does not serve at least an amount of FTES sufficient to continue at the same basic allocation funding level, the unadjusted basic allocation amount will be recalculated consistent with the FTES level served. If the recalculation results in a lower funding amount, the reduction will not occur until the third year after the initial recalculation that resulted in the lower calculated funding amount. If the educational center increases the level of FTES served in years subsequent to the reduction in its basic allocation amount, the Chancellor shall recalculate the basic allocation amount using the larger FTES level, but in no case will the basic allocation be recalculated using a level of FTES that exceeds the FTES amount from its initial center certification.
(9) The Chancellor may authorize extraordinary basic allocation base revenue pursuant to this section to a partner district under Education Code section 74292.
(10) Other than as provided in paragraphs (7) and (11), the amount of FTES served by each college and center as reported on the 2005-06 final attendance report shall be used to calculate the minimum unadjusted basic allocation amount for the initial 2006-07 fiscal year of the apportionment and the following two years.
(11) Other than as provided in paragraph (7), if a new college or center is established, or if the FTES from an existing college or center increases to a level that warrants an adjustment of the district's previous basic allocation base amount, the basic allocation adjustment shall be included in the fiscal year following the approval or increase in size occurs.
(12) Single college districts that reported credit attendance at less than or equal to 5,000 FTES for the 2005-06 final attendance report that are serving areas of the state with less than 217 people per square mile are eligible for a base allocation adjustment of $500,000 to the initial base allocation amount. 
(13) Changes to basic allocation funding pursuant to paragraph (11) of this subdivision shall come from the same funding sources as the base funding pursuant to section 58772.
(14) FTES produced from distance education courses or courses taught at a physical location other than a college or a center shall be credited to the base allocation of the college or center from which they were reported for the first principal apportionment of the 2006-07 fiscal year. Subsequent to the first principal apportionment of the 2006-07 fiscal year, any new FTES produced from a distance education course or courses taught at a physical location other than a college or center shall be credited to the base allocation of the college or center where they were initially reported. The intent of this section is to specify that FTES may not be moved among colleges after they have been initially reported so as to increase the base allocation of a college.
(15) In the event that a college or center is closed, the FTES produced from a distance education course or courses taught at a physical location other than a college or center and reported from that college or center shall be credited to another college or center in the same district, to the extent that such additional FTES is produced at the recipient college or center. The FTES may not be credited to a subsequent college or center in the district at a later date unless the original recipient college or center is also closed. The intent of this section is that FTES may not be moved among colleges or centers after they have been initially reported so as to increase the base allocation of a college or center.

§58772. Base Revenue and Workload Reduction.
Note     •     History

Notwithstanding sections 58771 and 58779, if it is known at the time of the adoption of the State Budget Act for the current year that revenues are not sufficient to fully fund base revenues pursuant to section 58771, district base revenues shall be reduced proportionally by the ratio of the statewide total revenue available for purposes of section 58771, to the statewide total calculated amount for purposes of section 58771, and all base workload measures pursuant to section 58771, shall be reduced proportionally by the ratio of the statewide total revenue available for purposes of section 58771, to the statewide total calculated amount for purposes of sections 58771 and 58773.

§58774. Growth and Decline.
Note     •     History

(a) District growth rates for the 2006-07, 2007-08 and the 2008-09 fiscal years shall be determined based upon the regulations and processes in effect as of September 30, 2006, except that by August 31, 2008, the Chancellor shall notify districts of revised growth rates which are adjusted proportionately to reflect the amount of growth funding provided in the 2008-09 Budget Act.
(b) Commencing with the 2009-10 fiscal year, district “growth rates” shall be determined by the Chancellor based on, at a minimum, the sum of the following factors:
(1) Determination of an equally weighted average rate of change in the primary county population of persons between the ages of 19 and 24 and the rate of change in the primary county population of persons between the ages of 25 and 65, both as determined by the Department of Finance's Demographic Research Unit as determined for the preceding fiscal year. 
(2) To the extent a college district's primary county unemployment rate exceeds 5 percent for the most recently completed year, an adjustment based on that positive difference shall be added to the rate computed in paragraph (1).  In no event shall that positive difference used in calculating this adjustment exceed 2 percent.
(3) The Chancellor may also add to these amounts the number of FTES in the areas of transfer, career technical education, and basic skills that were unfunded in the current fiscal year.  For this purpose, the following computation shall be determined for each district, and a statewide total shall be calculated:
(A) Establish the base level of FTES earned in the prior fiscal year for transfer courses consisting of courses meeting the California State University breadth or Intersegmental General Education Transfer Curriculum requirements or major course prerequisites accepted by the University of California or the California State University.   
(B) Establish the base level of FTES earned in the prior fiscal year for career technical education courses consisting of courses defined by the Chancellor's office Student Accountability Model codes A and B that are consistent with the courses used for measuring success in this program area under the accountability system established pursuant to Education Code section 84754.5.  
(C) Establish the base level of FTES in the prior fiscal year for basic skills courses, both credit and noncredit.  
(D) Add the sum of FTES for paragraphs (A) to (C), inclusive. 
(E) Multiply the result of the calculation made under paragraph (D) by one plus the district's funded growth rate in the current fiscal year. This figure shall represent the maintenance of effort level for the budget year. 
(F) FTES in transfer, career technical education, and basic skills that are in excess of the total calculated pursuant to paragraph (E), shall be considered in excess of the maintenance of effort level, and shall be eligible for overcap growth funding if the district exceeds its overall funded FTES. 
(G) In no event shall the amount calculated pursuant to paragraph (F) exceed the total unfunded FTES for that fiscal year. 
(c) Each district shall receive a minimum growth allocation of 1% or a rate which will provide at least 100 total FTES. Preliminary growth rates for a fiscal year shall be calculated and made available to the districts as early as possible during the preceding fiscal year. Preliminary growth rates are subject to change.
(d) To the extent the computations specified in this section require the reporting of additional data by community college districts, that reporting shall be a condition of the receipt of apportionment for growth pursuant to this section and those funds shall be available to offset any and all costs of providing the data.
(e) District growth rates are used to determine growth revenue caps when funding required to meet all FTES increases in the system exceeds the growth appropriation in the annual Budget Act. The district's total revenue growth cap is the sum of the revenue caps for all the district's FTES workload measures. A district's growth revenue cap is calculated by multiplying the marginal growth funding rates for its credit, noncredit, and career development and college preparation FTES by the product of a district's growth rate determined annually pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c), multiplied by the appropriate base FTES for that funding rate. A district's growth revenue cap for credit FTES, noncredit FTES, and career development and college preparation FTES to the extent funds are available to fully fund increases in these workload measures shall be the sum of the following:
(1) Credit FTES -- The product of the current year's marginal credit funding rate multiplied by the growth rate determined pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c), times the number of base credit FTES.
(2) Noncredit FTES -- The product of the current year's marginal noncredit funding rate multiplied by the growth rate determined pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c), times the number of base noncredit FTES.
(3) Career development and college preparation noncredit FTES -- The product of the current year's marginal career development and college preparation noncredit funding rate multiplied by the growth rate determined pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c), times the number of base career development and college preparation noncredit FTES. 
(f) Growth revenue shall be computed for districts that have fully restored revenue and FTES lost in the prior three fiscal years due to workload declines in those years. An actual growth revenue computation for credit FTES, noncredit FTES, and career development and college preparation noncredit FTES shall be the sum of the following:
(1) Credit FTES -- The product of the current year's marginal credit funding rate times the net change in credit FTES reported in the current year relative to the district's base credit FTES for that year and net of any credit FTES restoration.
(2) Noncredit FTES -- The product of the current year marginal noncredit funding rate times the net change in noncredit FTES reported in the current year relative to the district's base noncredit FTES for that year and net of any noncredit FTES restoration.
(3) Career development and college preparation noncredit FTES -- The product of the current year marginal career development and college preparation noncredit funding rate times the net change in career development and college preparation noncredit FTES reported in the current year relative to the district's base career development and college preparation noncredit FTES for that year and net of any career development and college preparation noncredit FTES restoration. If the district's career development and college preparation noncredit base is zero and the current year is the first year the district has reported career development and college preparation noncredit FTES, growth revenue shall be calculated using the regular noncredit marginal rate for that portion of career development and college preparation noncredit FTES converted from regular noncredit FTES. The funding rate differential shall be reported as a “career development and college preparation funding rate adjustment.” If total noncredit (regular and career development and college preparation noncredit) FTES is greater than the noncredit base FTES level, growth revenue for that portion of career development and college preparation noncredit in excess of the noncredit FTES base shall be calculated as the product of the career development and college preparation FTES and the career development and college preparation noncredit marginal funding rate for that portion of career development and college preparation noncredit in excess of the noncredit FTES base. 
(g) If the total growth computed in subdivision (f) is less than zero, the district's base revenue for the subsequent fiscal year shall be adjusted in accordance with subdivision (h). If the amount computed in subdivision (f) is greater than zero and less than or equal to the revenue cap computed pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c), the district revenue shall be adjusted by the amount computed pursuant to subdivision (f). If the amount computed in subdivision (f) is greater than the revenue cap computed pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c), the district's revenue could be constrained by the revenue cap computed pursuant to subdivisions (b) and (c).
(h) A decline in FTES for any particular workload occurs when the actual funded FTES is less than the amount of the corresponding base FTES.  A district receives stability revenue when its total growth revenue from all FTES measures is negative. Total growth revenue shall be the sum of all the positive and negative growth revenue for all FTES.
(i) A district shall be entitled to additional funding in its basic allocation equal to the amounts identified in subdivision (i) of section 58771 and as adjusted for inflation pursuant to section 58773 in subsequent years to the extent additional resources are provided in the annual Budget Act for any new colleges or centers added in the current fiscal year or if sufficient general apportionment base funding exists to fund new colleges and centers.  Growth funds appropriated in the annual Budget Act shall be available to fund any new colleges and centers if other specific new funds are not provided in the Budget Act and there are not sufficient unallocated funds remaining in the general apportionment schedule.  The intent of this section is to fund increases to the system's basic allocation before funding FTES growth as identified in subdivisions (e), (f) and (g) above.
(j) This section shall become inoperative on April 30, 2009.

§59204. Definitions.
Note     •     History

For the purposes of Education Code Section 84362, the following terms shall be defined as set forth below.
(a) “Salaries of classroom instructors” as used in Education Code Section 84362 means:
(1) that portion of salaries paid for purposes of instruction of students by full-time and part-time instructors employed by the district, and
(2) all salaries paid to district classified employees who are
(A) assigned the basic title of “Instructional Aide” or other appropriate title designated by the governing board which denotes that the employees' duties include instructional tasks, and
(B) employed to assist instructors in the performance of their duties, in the supervision of students, and in the performance of instructional tasks. Instructional aides who perform instructional and noninstructional tasks shall have their salaries and benefits prorated. An employee shall be deemed to be under the supervision of an instructor for the purpose of Education Code Section 84362 if the employee performs duties under the general direction of an instructor.
In addition, salaries of classroom instructors shall include the cost of all benefits provided such instructors and instructional aides (Object of Expenditure code 3000 as defined in the California Community Colleges Budget and Accounting Manual).
(b) “Current expense of education” (CEE) shall include Object of Expenditures 1000 through 5000 for activity codes 0100 through 6700 as defined in the California Community College Budget and Accounting Manual less expenditures for activity code 64XX (Student Transportation) and less expenditures of:
(1) categorical aid received from the federal and state government requiring expenditure in a program not incurring any instructor salary expenditures;
(2) categorical aid received from the federal and state government requiring disbursement of the funds without regard to the requirement of Section 84362;
(3) funds for lease agreements for plant and equipment;
(4) funds received from the federal or state government pursuant to the “Economic Opportunity Act of 1964”;
(5) state or federal funds received for grants to community college students or for the employment of community college students; and
(6) other monies received which are restricted by an external party, law or other legal requirement.
(c) “Serious hardship” shall mean conditions under which:
(1) conformance with the 50% requirement during the year of deficiency would have resulted in the district's inability to discharge financial liabilities;
(2) the first year of infusion of new moneys resulted in the district's inability to comply with the requirements of Education Code Section 84362;
(3) unanticipated, unbudgeted, and necessary expenditures resulted in the district's inability to comply with the requirements of Education Code Section 84362; or
(4) the district has expended funds pursuant to Section 59213(f).
In viewing a district's inability to discharge financial liabilities, consideration will be given to such factors as (1) the district's general fund ending balance, less noncash assets, is less than three percent (3%) of general fund expenditures (Object of Expenditure codes 1000 through 6000) for the year application for exemption is filed, or (2) the district's credit base FTES for the year for which exemption is being sought was less than 3,001. New monies shall mean monies which are allocated for transitional program improvement pursuant to Educational Code Section 84755. To the extent that such monies are built into the district's general apportionment funding in the following years, no further consideration for serious hardship will be given.
Unanticipated, unbudgeted, and necessary expenditures shall mean certifiable expenditures that the district could not have reasonably anticipated or budgeted for, and that were necessary for the district to incur. Such expenditures may include, but are not necessarily limited to, expenditures resulting from arbitration or litigation; replacement or repair of utility services; an abnormal increase in the cost of energy, insurance, or security; or a cost increase mandated by state or federal law.
In determining the impact of the infusion of new monies, the Chancellor's Office shall determine the amount of new monies pursuant to Education Code Section 84755 which were expended for salaries of classroom instructors and for the current expense of education. Following the Chancellor's determination, the percentage shall be recalculated without the effect of the expenditure of these new monies. If the district would have complied with the requirements of Education Code Section 84362 without the expenditure of new monies, a full exemption may be granted. If the district still does not comply with the requirements of Education Code Section 84362, then a partial exemption may be granted to the degree the deficiency was increased by the expenditure of these new monies.
(d) “Attendance FTES” means the units of full-time equivalent student or equivalent accrued by the district during the fiscal year as a result of the attendance of all students as reported to the Chancellor's Office on prescribed attendance reports.
(e) “Community college districts of comparable type functioning under comparable conditions” are deemed to be any which:
(1) had met the 50% salary requirement for the year in question;
(2) had CEE per attendance FTES which is within $250 of the district seeking exemption; and
(3) had attendance FTES which is within 30% of the applicant district. If Subsections (e)(2) and (e)(3) above do not yield at least 5 districts, then Subsection (e)(2) will be expanded by $50 increments and Subsection (e)(3) will be expanded by 5% increments until at least 5 districts are determined.
(f) Payment of comparable salaries of classroom instructors will be deemed to exist when a district's expenditure for salaries of classroom instructors, divided by attendance FTES, equals or exceeds the same aggregated data for districts functioning under comparable conditions.

§59204.1. Supplemental Definition of “Serious Hardship” for F/Y 2009-10 through 2012-13.
Note     •     History

“Serious hardship” is defined in section 59204. Notwithstanding the provisions of section 59204, “serious hardship” is further defined as follows:
Conformance with the 50 percent requirement during the year of deficiency would have likely resulted in a substantial reduction of funding for categorical programs as compared to the level of funding for categorical programs in 2008-09. Such a reduction would have had a detrimental impact on those programs and a detrimental impact on student success.
In determining the serious hardship under this section, the Board of Governors shall consider the following:
(a) the level of categorical funding provided by the state for categorical programs in 2008-09 compared to the fiscal year for which an exemption is requested; and
(b) the district's level of unrestricted general fund support for categorical programs in 2008-09 compared to the fiscal year for which an exemption is requested.
It is not the intent of this section to provide an exemption for a district that would have expended less than 50 percent of its CEE on the payment of classroom instructors absent the reduction of categorical funding.
This section shall be in effect for fiscal years 2009-10 through 2012-13.

Such amount may be reduced by expenditures for salaries of classroom instructors exceeding the requirements of Eduction Code section 84362 in the two years immediately following the year of noncompliance. The Chancellor shall instruct the district to develop a plan as to how the amount of the deficiency not exempted by the Board of Governors will be expended for salaries of classroom instructors during the next fiscal year.

In implementing subdivision (b)(2) of section 72675, the district regulations may specify different standards for different types of auxiliary organizations.
(g) Provisions which establish recordkeeping responsibilities of auxiliary organizations;
(h) Provisions which establish a procedure for periodic review of each auxiliary organization by the district to insure that it is complying with sections 72670-72682 of the Education Code, district implementing regulations, any written agreement with the district, and its articles of incorporation or bylaws; and
(i) Provisions which prohibit the district from transferring any of its funds or resources other than funds or resources derived from gifts or bequests, to any of its auxiliary organizations, when the purpose of such transfer is either to avoid laws or regulations which constrain community college districts or to provide the district with an unfair advantage with respect to the application of any state funding mechanism. Such state funding mechanisms include, but are not limited to, general apportionment funding, capital outlay funding, Extended Opportunity Programs and Services funding, and funding for programs and services for students with disabilities.
(j) Provisions which shall specify the following:

The charge or rental specified shall not require involved methods of computation, and should be identified in sufficient time before its incurrence so that the auxiliary organization may determine to what extent it shall be liable therefor;
(6) Full reimbursement to the district for services performed by district employees under the direction of the auxiliary organization. No more than 50% of the reimbursement by an auxiliary organization may be made in the form of non-monetary benefits that the auxiliary organization provides to a community college district, such as increased community awareness or other such benefits that are agreed upon by district officials and the auxiliary organization. Such non-monetary benefits shall be assigned a good-faith reimbursement value by the district. Methods of proration where services are performed by district employees for the auxiliary organization shall be simple and equitable;
(7) A simple and stable method of determining in advance to what extent the auxiliary organization shall be liable for indirect costs relating to federally-sponsored programs;
(8) The responsibility for maintenance and payment of operating expenses;
(9) The proposed expenditures for public relations or other purposes which would serve to augment district appropriations for operation of the college. With respect to expenditures for public relations or other purposes which would serve to augment district appropriation for the college, the auxiliary organization may expend funds in such amount and for such purposes as are approved by the board of directors of the auxiliary organization. The governing board shall name a designee who shall file with the governing board a statement of auxiliary organizations' policies on accumulation and use of public relations funds. The statement will include the policy and procedure on solicitation of funds, source of funds, amounts, and purpose for which the funds will be used, allowable expenditures, and procedures of control;
(10) The disposition to be made of net earnings derived from the operation of facilities owned or leased by the auxiliary organization and provisions for reserves;
(11) The disposition to be made of net assets on cessation of the operations under the agreement; and
(12) Provisions which require a covenant of the auxiliary organization to maintain its existence throughout the period of the agreement and to operate in accordance with sections 72670-72682 of the Education Code, and with the regulations contained in this subchapter as well as district implementing regulations.
In addressing the requirements of this subdivision in its district implementing regulations, a district may provide for such requirements in a written agreement or agreements with an auxiliary organization. The agreement shall provide for all requirements of this subdivision which have not been addressed in the district implementing regulations. Notwithstanding subdivision (e) of section 59255, if the requirements of this subdivision are provided for in the written agreement rather than the district's implementing regulations, the auxiliary organization may not be recognized by the district until the agreement is submitted to the Chancellor for approval.

Article 2. Admissions and Academic Achievement Standards
§71770. Admissions Standards and Transferred Credits Policy.
Note     •     History

(a) The institution shall establish specific written standards for student admissions for each educational program. These standards shall be related to the particular educational program. An institution shall not admit any student who is obviously unqualified or who does not appear to have a reasonable prospect of completing the program. In addition to any specific standards for an educational program, the admissions standards must specify as applicable that:
(1) Each student admitted to an undergraduate degree program, or a diploma program, shall possess a high school diploma or its equivalent, or otherwise successfully take and pass the relevant examination as required by section 94904 of the Code.
(2) Each student admitted into a post-baccalaureate degree program shall possess a bachelor's degree or its equivalent. If a graduate program leads to a profession or an occupation requiring state licensure and the licensing agency does not require that a member of the profession or occupation possess a Bachelor's degree or its equivalent, this subdivision does not apply.
(b) The institution shall specify the maximum credit it will transfer from another institution for each educational program, and the basis upon which the transferred credit will be awarded.
(1) Except as limited by subdivision (c) of this section, a maximum of 75 percent of the units or credit that may be applied toward the award of a bachelor's degree may be derived from a combination of any or both of the following:
(A) Units earned at institutions approved by the Bureau, public or private institutions of higher learning accredited by an accrediting association recognized by the U. S. Department of Education, or any institution of higher learning, including foreign institutions, if the institution offering the undergraduate program documents that the institution of higher learning at which the units were earned offers degree programs equivalent to degree programs approved by the Bureau or accredited by an accrediting association recognized by the U.S. Department of Education;
(B) Challenge examinations and standardized tests such as the College Level Placement Tests (CLEP) for specific academic disciplines.
(2) No more than 20% of graduate semester units or the equivalent in other units awarded by another institution may be transferred for credit toward a Master's degree. An institution may accept transfer credits only from the institutions of higher learning described in subsection (1)(A).
(3) No more than 30 graduate semester credits or its equivalent awarded by another institution may be credited toward a doctoral degree. This subdivision does not apply to graduate programs that lead to a profession or an occupation requiring state licensure where the licensing agency has a regulation permitting a different standard.
(c) If credit for prior experiential learning is to be granted, the policy for granting such credit shall be included in the institution's catalog.
(1) An institution may grant credit to a student for prior experiential learning only if:
(A) The prior learning is equivalent to a college or university level of learning;
(B) The learning experience demonstrates a balance between theory and practice and;
(C) The credit awarded for the prior learning experience directly relates to the student's degree program and is applied in satisfaction of some of the degree requirements.
(2) Each college or university level learning experience for which credit is sought shall be documented by the student in writing.
(3) Each college or university level learning experience shall be evaluated by faculty qualified in that specific subject area who shall ascertain (1) to what college or university level learning the student's prior experience is equivalent and (2) how many credits toward a degree may be granted for that experience.
(4) The faculty evaluating the prior learning shall prepare a written report indicating all of the following:
(A) The documents in the student's record on which the faculty member relied in determining the nature of the student's prior experience;
(B) The bases for determining that the prior experience (i) is equivalent to college or university level learning and (ii) demonstrates a balance between theory and practice; and
(C) The bases for determining (i) to what college or university level the experience is equivalent and (ii) the proper number of credits to be awarded toward the degree for that experience.
(5)(A) The institution shall designate at least one administrator to be responsible for the review of faculty determinations regarding the award of credit for prior experiential learning.
(B) The administrator shall document the institution's periodic review of faculty evaluations to assure that the faculty written evaluations and awards of credit comply with this section and the institution's policies and are consistent.
(6) The amount of credit awarded for prior experiential learning shall not be related to the amount charged the student for the assessment process.
(7)(A) Of the first 60 semester credits awarded a student in an undergraduate program, no more than 15 semester credits may be awarded for prior experiential learning.
(B) Of the second 60 semester units (i.e., credits 61 to 120) awarded a student in an undergraduate program, no more than 15 semester credits may be awarded for prior experiential learning. 
(C) Of the first 30 semester credits awarded a student in a graduate program, no more than 6 semester credits may be awarded for prior experiential learning.
(D) Of the second 30 semester credits (i.e., credits 31 to 60) awarded a student in a graduate program, no more than 3 semester credits may be awarded for prior experiential learning.
(E) No credit for experiential learning may be awarded after a student has obtained 60 semester credits in a graduate program.

(b) All fees lawfully collected are non-refundable. 
(c) A fee that is not paid timely is subject to penalty as set forth in section 94931 of the Code.
(d) The Bureau shall deny a renewal of an approval to operate if the institution fails to submit at the time it files its application for renewal of an approval to operate: all unpaid fees; penalty fees; penalties; orders for reimbursement of costs and expenses; and assessments for, and reimbursement of all payments made to students from, the Student Tuition Recovery Fund.
(e)(1) If an institution fails to pay any fee and any penalty fees timely, the Bureau may initiate proceedings to revoke the institution's approval to operate for failure to pay fees.
(2) Any proceeding to revoke an institution's approval to operate is subject to the provisions of Chapter 5 of the Administrative Procedures Act. If a hearing is requested, it shall be limited to the issues of whether any fee or penalty was owed and, if so, whether the fee or penalty were paid when originally due.
(3) The procedure specified in this subdivision is cumulative to any other right or remedy the Bureau may invoke against an institution which fails to pay its annual fee or a penalty fee when originally due. Nothing in this subdivision restricts the Bureau's authority to bring other administrative or judicial action against an institution that fails to pay its fees when due.
(4) An institution whose approval to operate was revoked because of nonpayment of an annual fee or penalty fee may seek to obtain approval to operate only by filing an application for a new approval to operate.

3 “Graduates available for employment” means the number of graduates minus the number of graduates unavailable for employment. “Graduates unavailable for employment” means graduates who, after graduation, die, become incarcerated, are called to active military duty, are international students that leave the United States or do not have a visa allowing employment in the United States, or are continuing their education in an accredited or bureau-approved postsecondary institution.

4 “Graduates employed in the field” means graduates who report that they are gainfully employed within six months of graduation in a position for which the skills obtained through the education and training provided by the institution are required or provided a significant advantage to the graduate in obtaining the position.

5 Placement Rate is calculated by dividing the number of graduates gainfully employed in the field by the number of graduates available for employment.
(f) License Examination Passage Rates. If license examination passage rates are not available from the appropriate state agency, an institution shall collect the information directly from its graduates. If an institution demonstrates that, after reasonable efforts, it is unable to obtain the examination passage information from its graduates, the institution shall report the number of students it could not contact and note in a font the same size as the majority of the data on the Performance Fact Sheet, “License examination passage data is not available from the state agency administering the examination. We were unable to collect data from [enter the number] graduates.”
Reporting of license examination passage rates for the Annual Report and the Performance Fact Sheet shall include, for each educational program: the number of students completing the program within 150% of published program length in the reported year, the number of documented graduates who passed the first examination, number of documented graduates who failed the first examination, the number of graduates for whom data is not available. An optional column may be added to separately report licensing examination data for students who take and pass the exam after failing initially. The Annual Report shall also include a description of the processes for attempting to contact those students.
For licensing examinations that are not continuously administered, license examination passage rates shall be included in the Performance Fact Sheet in a format substantially similar to the chart below, including the footnoted information below (dates, numbers, and other data shown are for example only):

(b) The notice to comply shall be in writing and shall describe the nature and facts of the violation, including a reference to the statute or regulation violated, and may indicate the manner in which the institution must correct the violation to achieve compliance.
(c) The notice to comply shall be given prior to leaving the institution after the inspection to any owner, person in control, chief academic officer, chief executive officer, chief operating officer, institution director, or any person delegated by any of the aforementioned persons to facilitate the inspection or accept such notice.
(d) The notice to comply shall inform the person approved to operate the institution that he or she may do either of the following:
(1) Within 30 days from the date of the inspection, sign and return the notice to comply, declaring under penalty of perjury that the violation was corrected and describing how compliance was achieved; or
(2) Within 30 days from the date of the inspection, file with the Bureau a written notice of disagreement, specifying the minor violations described in the notice to comply with which the person approved to operate the institution disagrees, and appealing it by requesting an informal office conference. If a written notice of disagreement is not timely filed with the Bureau, the right to appeal is deemed to have been waived.
(e) Within 30 days from the timely receipt of a written notice of disagreement, the Director or his or her designee, shall hear the appeal by holding an informal office conference with the person approved to operate the institution or an authorized representative. Upon request and approval by the Director or his or her designee, the person approved to operate the institution or representative may participate in the office conference by telephone. The 30-day period may be extended by the Director or his or her designee for good cause.
(f) Prior to or at the office conference, the person approved to operate the institution or authorized representative may submit to the Director or his or her designee declarations or documents pertinent to the subject matter of the notice to comply, which shall be duly considered along with the notice to comply and any supporting documentation.

A written order affirming, modifying, or withdrawing the original notice to comply shall be served on the person approved to operate the institution within 30 days from the informal office conference. If the order affirms or modifies the original notice to comply, said order shall fix a reasonable period of time up to 30 days for correction of the violation. This order shall be deemed the final administrative decision concerning the notice to comply prior to any enforcement action.
(h) Within the time set for correcting the violation, the person approved to operate the institution shall comply with the order affirming or modifying the notice to comply, and shall submit to the Bureau a declaration under penalty of perjury that the violation(s) was (or were) corrected, containing facts sufficient to document compliance with the order, and incorporating attached documentation to that effect.

The provisions of section 75040 shall apply to this subsection.
(c) In addition to the requirements of section 94936 of the Code, each citation shall inform the cited institution or person that:
(1) if a hearing pursuant to the Administrative Procedure Act (APA) is not requested, payment of the administrative fine is due 30 days from the date of service, and shall not constitute an admission of the violation charged.
(2) if a hearing pursuant to the APA is conducted and payment of an administrative fine is ordered, the administrative fine is due 30 days from when the order is effective;

Where citations pursuant to section 94936 of the Code and section 75020, subsection (a) include an assessment of an administrative fine, the fine shall be not less than $50 or exceed $5,000 for each violation. Each violation shall be classified according to the nature of the violation and shall indicate the classification on the face thereof as follows:
(a) A “Class A” violation shall not be less than $2,501 nor more than $5,000. A Class A violation is one that the Bureau has, in its discretion, determined to be more serious in nature, deserving the maximum fine. A Class A violation may, in the Bureau's discretion, be issued to an institution that has committed one or more prior, separate Class B violations.

(c) A “Class C” violation shall not be less than $501 nor more than $1,000. A Class C violation is one that the Bureau has, in its discretion, determined to be a minor or technical violation, which may be directly or potentially detrimental to students or potentially impacts their education.
(d) A “Class D” violation shall not be less than $50 nor more than $500. A Class D violation is one that the Bureau has, in its discretion, determined to be a minor or technical violation, which is neither directly or potentially detrimental to students nor potentially impacts their education.

(b) The Bureau Chief, or his or her designee, or the Director, or his or her designee, shall within 30 days from the Bureau's receipt of a written request for an informal conference, hold an informal conference with the cited institution or person.

(c) Following the informal conference, the Bureau Chief, or his or her designee, or the Director, or his or her designee, will affirm, modify, or dismiss the citation, including any fine assessed and/or order of abatement issued.

(d) If the informal conference results in the modification of the findings of violation(s), the amount of the fine and/or the order of abatement, the citation shall be considered modified, but not withdrawn. Unless waived, a cited institution or person is entitled to a hearing to contest the modified citation if the institution or person filed a timely request, but is not entitled to an informal conference to contest an affirmed or modified citation. If a timely request for a hearing was not filed, the decision on the affirmed or modified citation shall be considered final.
(e) If the citation is dismissed after the informal conference, the request for a hearing, if any, shall be deemed withdrawn.
(f) Submission of a written request for a hearing pursuant to section 94936(c)(2) of the Code, or an informal conference as provided in subsection (a), or both, stays the time period in which to pay the fine.

§76210. Claims Amount, Payment and Denial.
Note     •     History

(a) The Bureau may negotiate with a lender, holder, guarantee agency, or the U.S. Department of Education for the full compromise or write-off of student loan obligations to relieve students of economic loss and, if possible, to reduce the liability of the Fund for the payment of claims.
(b) The Bureau may pay a student's claim directly to the lender, holder, guarantee agency, or U.S. Department of Education.
(c) If the Bureau grants the claim, the amount of the payment is measured by the total amount of the student's economic loss, as defined in Section 76000, less the amount of any refund, reimbursement, indemnification, restitution, compensatory damages, settlement, debt forgiveness, discharge, cancellation, compromise or any other benefit received by, or on behalf of, the student that was related to the economic loss. The amount of the payment is not dependent on, or necessarily limited to, the amount of refund the student would have received from the institution if the student had voluntarily withdrawn. The Bureau cannot pay any claim to a student without a social security number or a taxpayer identification number.
(d) In addition to the reductions in (c) above, the Bureau may reduce the amount of the payment by the value of the benefit, if any, of the education obtained by the student before the closure of the institution.
(e) If a student participated in a teach-out, the following conditions also apply:
(1) If the student withdraws from the teach-out institution within the first two weeks of enrollment, the student's economic losses are calculated as though the student never received the teach-out.
(2) If the student withdraws from the teach-out institution after the first two weeks of enrollment, the student's economic loss includes only a pro rata portion of charges for the hours of the education service paid for, but not received from, either institution. 
(3) If the teach-out institution provides all of the remaining instruction that the closed institution had represented it would provide, the student's economic loss shall not include any amount the student paid to the closed institution specifically for instruction.
(4) Regardless of participation in a teach-out, a student may recover economic losses other than those specifically related to the instruction.
(f) Upon payment of the claim, all of the student's rights against the institution for that amount of payment shall be deemed assigned to the Bureau.
(g) If the Bureau denies the claim, or reduces the amount of the claim, the Bureau may informally consider a written appeal and modify its decision. 
(h) If a written appeal is not received by the Bureau within 30 calendar days from the date of the decision, the Bureau's decision shall be final.

(m) An individual credential applicant who already holds a valid non-emergency teaching credential that requires a baccalaureate degree and is seeking an additional teaching authorization is exempt from the provisions of subsection (l).
(n) The Commission will not consider appeals by credential applicants who have failed to achieve the passing standard established by the Commission at the time the CBEST has been most recently attempted.
(o) The Commission will issue annually a report on the passing rates of various groups on the CBEST, including passing rates by institution attended.

Regionally accredited California colleges and universities approved by the Commission to offer subject matter programs in compliance with Education Code Section 44256 shall be authorized to determine the equivalence of courses and programs to their Commission approved program which students may submit from another institution. The Commission shall accept the verification of subject matter equivalence from approved institutions provided that, with the exception of persons whose academic and professional preparation were completed in regionally accredited institutions outside of California, the applicant for a multiple or single subject teaching credential has completed all or part of his or her undergraduate or graduate academic or professional preparation at the institution determining the equivalency of the subject matter. The Commission shall also accept the verification of subject matter equivalence from an approved institution where the applicant has not completed course work when neither the degree granting institution nor the institution at which the program is being completed has an approved subject matter program in the subject to be listed on the credential. However, the verification of subject matter equivalence must be in the applicant's degree major. The Commission shall also accept the verification of subject matter equivalence from an approved institution where the applicant has not completed course work if the equivalence was approved prior to the implementation of these regulations and all academic standards required in the institution's approved subject matter have been met.
For applicants whose academic and professional preparation were completed in regionally accredited institutions outside of California, the Commission shall accept subject matter equivalence determinations by approved California institutions so long as the institution submits verification that the out-of-state applicant has met requirements equivalent to those in the institution's approved program. Such verification shall include, but not be limited to, a listing of courses completed by the applicant deemed to be equivalent to courses in the institutions approved program, attainment of all academic standards required in the institution's approved program, and successful completion of any final assessment required of students in the institution's approved program.

§80424. Fifth Year of Study.
Note     •     History

(a) The Commission finds that the fifth year of study is an integral element of the teacher education program, and provides the potential teacher with much greater opportunity following completion of the relatively rigid course requirements of the baccalaureate degree program to select a course or program of study designed to improve the teacher's competence and skills, and which is more suited to the candidate's particular professional interests. In recognition of these facts, the Commission expects that the design of the fifth year course of study will be a large responsibility of the teacher candidate in cooperation and consultation with the accredited college or university.
(b) The teacher candidate may select either a student-designed fifth year of study approved by the institution or an institution-designed fifth year of study. The fifth year of study selected by the teacher-candidate shall be a Commission-approved program, and shall be a full academic year, or its equivalent, at the postgraduate level taken at an accredited college or university.
(c) In furtherance of the foregoing concepts, the Commission shall permit a wide latitude for fifth year programs, including, but not limited to the following purposes:
(1) Additional subject matter preparation including, but not limited to, pursuit of a master's or higher degree;
(2) Completion of an approved program for an advanced or specialized credential;
(3) Study undertaken for in-service training for which college or university credit is given; and
(4) Study undertaken to complete an approved program of professional preparation.
(d) If a college or university refuses to approve a fifth year of study for a teacher-applicant, it shall state its reasons in writing to the applicant. The applicant shall thereafter have the right to appeal the decision of the institution directly to the Commission. In doing so, the applicant shall submit to the Commission a copy of his or her program for the fifth year of study and other supporting documents, including a copy of he college or university's written reasons for refusal. The Commission shall evaluate the materials submitted and determine whether to approve the fifth year of study.

(c) Course work, programs, or degrees completed in an institution of higher education outside of the United States are acceptable toward certification when the Commission or an evaluating agency approved by the Commission, based on the standards contained in The Criteria for Agencies Seeking Approval to Review Foreign Academic Programs for Equivalency to United States Standards, January 1, 1996 edition, has determined that such institution's course work, programs, or degrees are equivalent to those offered by a regionally accredited institution in the United States. The Commission reserves the right to accept or reject an approved evaluating agency's determination.
(d) For certification purposes, an accredited institution, accredited college, or accredited university is defined as a regionally accredited institution of higher education, unless otherwise defined in statutes or regulations.

§80509. Appeal Grounds and Procedure.
Note     •     History

(a) The applicant shall initiate an appeal by filing with the Executive Director a written notice stating that the applicant appeals a particular decision of the Commission staff regarding the application, on the grounds of mistake of fact, mistake of law, or equivalence to the minimum requirements for the credential requested including the specific requirements set forth in this section. Applicants appealing under (1) or (2) below must meet the requirements in Section 80413(a) of Title 5 Regulations if qualifying for the preliminary credential and Section 80413(a)&(b) if qualifying for the professional clear credential other than that requirement being appealed. Applicants appealing under 3 below must meet the requirements in Section 80048.2(b) of Title 5 Regulations other than that requirement being appealed.
(1) If the applicant is appealing to use actual teaching experience in lieu of the student teaching requirement for a Multiple or Single Subject Teaching Credential, the applicant must verify the completion of a minimum of three years of satisfactory classroom teaching experience. The experience shall meet the requirements described below:
(A) “Year of classroom teaching” means classroom teaching for the minimum school day applicable to the level taught for at least 75 percent of the number of days the regular schools of the district were in session in the school year.
2. A school day for a single subject assignment shall be no less than three periods per day of teaching experience.
3. Long-term substitute or replacement teaching assignments may be considered when such assignments include all of the functions of the teacher of record. To be considered, experience must be a minimum of one semester or its equivalent in quarters (approximately 18 weeks) in the same assignment. Day to day substitute experience will not be cumulated to meet the requirement.
(B) Actual teaching experience submitted by the appellant shall be assessed in relation to the professional teacher preparation standards.
1. The teaching experience shall be acquired after completion of a baccalaureate degree and professional teacher preparation program excluding student teaching verified in writing by an IHE with a teacher preparation program accredited by the Committee on Accreditation in the credential requested. Experience acquired concurrently with the teacher preparation program will be considered only when verification from the IHE is submitted attesting to the fact that the university is unable or unwilling to provide supervision of the current assignment to meet the student teaching requirement.
2. An appellant who has been admitted to student teaching by an IHE but who has failed to complete the requirement because the IHE found the student teaching below acceptable performance levels as set forth in the IHE's program standards shall not have grounds for appeal.
(C) The teaching experience shall be performed in public schools or agencies, or private schools accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC). The appellant's employer or employers must verify that his or her competence and performance meet standards required of a student teacher.
(D) The appellant must submit comprehensive evaluations of successful teaching experience as well as a statement from each employer which explains how the appellant was evaluated, supported, and supervised, and by whom. The evaluations for the last year of experience submitted must show satisfactory or higher ratings in all areas.
(E) The teaching experience shall be of a level, scope and responsibility beyond the service performed by an aide, reader, assistant, para-professional, tutor, day-to-day substitute, children's center or special center permit holder, consultant, or student practitioner.
(F) The teaching experience shall be appropriate to the setting of the credential being sought. For a Single Subject Teaching Credential the experience must be in a subject specified in Education Code Section 44257 which will be listed on the appellant's Single Subject Teaching Credential. For the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential, the experience must be in self-contained settings.
1. Adult school teaching experience, military teaching experience, and teaching experience in other non-traditional settings in the subject area of the credential being sought may be used to meet up to one-half of the experience requirement.
2. An appellant may use experience in a self-contained special education classroom for up to one half of the required experience. This option applies only to the Multiple Subject Teaching Credential. Appellants cannot combine this option with option 1 above.
(G) The appellant must submit in writing a statement that demonstrates his or her ability to develop, implement, and evaluate a variety of pedagogical approaches to teaching academic skills and content areas appropriate to the credential.
(2) A minimum of eight years of satisfactory teaching experience which have been acquired with no teacher preparation program may be considered by the Commission on an individual basis. The experience must be acquired after the completion of a baccalaureate degree. Such experience shall be verified in detail following criteria listed in (1)(A) and (C) through (G) above.
(3) If the appellant is appealing to use actual teaching experience in lieu of the student teaching requirement for a Specialist Instruction Credential in Special Education, the appellant must verify the completion of a minimum of three years of satisfactory special education experience. The experience shall meet the requirements described below:
(A) “Year of classroom teaching” means classroom teaching for the minimum school day applicable to the level taught for at least 75 percent of the number of days the regular schools of the district were in session in the school year.
1. A school day for a special education assignment shall be at least four hours exclusive of non-instructional time.
2. Long-term substitute or replacement teaching assignments may be considered when such assignments include all of the functions of the teacher of record. To be considered, experience must be a minimum of one semester or its equivalent in quarters (approximately 18 weeks) in the same assignment. Day to day substitute experience will not be cumulated to meet the requirement.
(B) Actual teaching submitted by the appellant shall be assessed in relation to the professional special education teacher preparation standards.
1. The teaching experience shall be acquired after completion of a baccalaureate degree and special education teacher preparation program excluding student teaching verified in writing by an IHE with a special education teacher preparation program accredited by the Committee on Accreditation in the area requested. Experience acquired concurrently with the teacher preparation program will be considered only when verification from the IHE is submitted attesting to the fact that the university is unable or unwilling to provide supervision of the current assignment to meet the student teaching requirement.
2. An appellant who has been admitted to student teaching by an IHE but who has failed to complete the requirement because the IHE found the student teaching below acceptable performance levels as set forth in the IHE's program standards shall not have grounds for appeal.
(C) The teaching experience shall be performed in public schools or agencies, or non-public, non-sectarian schools or agencies certified by the California Department of Education. The appellant's employer or employers must verify that he or she meets the same competency standards required of a student teacher.
(D) The appellant must submit comprehensive evaluations of successful teaching experience as well as a statement from each employer which explains how the appellant was evaluated, supported, and supervised, and by whom. The evaluations for the last year of experience submitted must show satisfactory or higher ratings in all areas.
(E) The teaching experience shall be of a level, scope and responsibility beyond the service performed by an aide, reader, assistant, para-professional, tutor, day-to-day substitute, children's center or special center permit holder, consultant, or student practitioner.
(F) The teaching experience shall be appropriate to the authorized field of the Specialist Instruction Credential in Special Education being sought.
(G) The appellant must submit in writing a statement that demonstrates his or her knowledge of basic principles and strategies of assessment, curriculum, and instruction that are appropriate for individuals with special needs.

The Secretary for Education has set a preliminary goal of reducing all Priority Two schools to a 5:1 ratio. However, the Secretary for Education retains the authority to adjust the ratio to a higher or lower ratio, depending on the results of the CTAP survey, in order to remain within the $175 million in one-time funds allocated for this program. Allocations shall be made in such a manner as to improve or maintain an equal ratio across all eligible high schools.
