2005 California Education Code Sections 54040-54041 Districts

54040.  The Legislature recognizes that because of insufficient
data, the formula for allocation of economic impact aid funds will
not provide sufficient resources to a limited number of school
districts with high concentrations of limited- and
non-English-speaking pupils and pupils in poverty to ensure funding
for appropriate educational services.
54041.  (a) After calculating allocations pursuant to Article 2
(commencing with Section 54020) of this chapter each year, the
Superintendent of Public Instruction shall review the estimated
allocations for the next three years.  He shall make this review to
identify a limited number of districts with high concentrations of
economic impact aid pupils, especially limited- and
non-English-speaking pupils, which under the three-year projection
will either not receive any funds or insufficient funds to meet the
excess costs of serving impact aid pupils.  The Superintendent of
Public Instruction shall identify the districts which are eligible
for special allocations by reviewing:
   (1) District information concerning the number and concentration
of pupils in poverty.
   (2) District level information concerning the number and
concentration of limited- and non-English-speaking pupils.
   (3) Other district level information which he determines to be
appropriate.
   (b) He shall then notify the limited number of districts which
meet the criteria specified in paragraphs (1), (2), and (3) that they
will receive special allocations to meet the excess costs of serving
impact aid pupils by filing an application for the amount of funds
he has determined will be needed.
   (c) District application for special allocation funds shall be
included in the application procedure adopted by the State Board of
Education pursuant to Section 54005.
   (d) Each year, the Superintendent of Public Instruction shall
notify the Joint Legislative Budget Committee and the Department of
Finance of methodology used to determine special allocations and the
districts which receive such funding.
