APRIL 2014 AGENDA
SUBJECT
Reconsideration of Requests for Determination of Funding as Required for Nonclassroom-based Charter Schools Pursuant to California Education Code Sections 47612.5 and 47634.2, California Code of Regulations Section 11963.6(g), and Associated California Code of Regulations, Title 5. / Action
Information

SUMMARY OF THE ISSUE

California Education Code (EC) sections 47612.5 and 47634.2 specify that a charter school may receive apportionment funding for nonclassroom-based instruction only if a determination of funding is made by the State Board of Education (SBE). Additionally, if during an approved determination period 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 for consideration by the SBE pursuant to California Code of Regulations Title 5 (5 CCR) Section 11963.6(g).

The charter schools listed in Attachment 1 are requesting reconsideration of their previously approved determination of funding. Each charter school is requesting a reconsideration to increase its funding determination to 100 percent, which would replace the determination of funding currently in effect.

PROPOSED RECOMMENDATION

The CDE proposes to recommend approval for a 100 percent funding determination, replacing the previously approved determination of funding currently in effect for fiscal years (FYs) 2013-14 through 2016-17.

BRIEF ANALYSIS OF THE ISSUE

Each nonclassroom-based charter school listed in Attachment 1 submitted a request for reconsideration of its current SBE-approved determination of funding. Each request includes increasing the existing funding determination to 100 percent.

At its May 2013 meeting, the SBE approved an 85 percent funding determination for fiscal years 2013–14 through 2016–17 for Opportunities for Learning (OFL)-Baldwin Park II (#874), OFL-Hermosa Beach (#1130), Options for Youth (OFY)-San Gabriel (#117), OFY-San Juan (#217) and OFY-Victorville (#13). At its May 2013 meeting, the SBE also approved a 70 percent funding determination for fiscal years 2013–14 through 2016–17 for OFL-Baldwin Park (#402) and OFL-Santa Clarita (#214) with the consideration of mitigating circumstances. The funding determinations were based on revenues and expenditures for FY 2011–12, as submitted by each charter school.

Pursuant to 5 CCR Section 11963.6(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. During the effective period of a charter school’s determination of funding, no more than one additional determination of funding request (which would replace the determination of funding then in effect) may be submitted by the charter school in the same fiscal year. Based on the information provided by each charter school, which include revenues and expenditures for FY 2012–13, and pursuant to 5 CCR Section 11963.4(a), the CDE finds that each charter school meets the criteria for a proposed recommendation of 100 percent, which would replace the determination of funding currently in effect for FYs 2013–14 through 2016–17.
