Necessary small schools.

(1) Existing law defines a necessary small school as an elementary school with an average daily attendance of less than 101, exclusive of pupils attending grades 7 and 8 of a junior high school, maintained by a school district that maintains 2 or more schools, that meets other criteria involving combinations of distance and average daily attendance. Existing law requires the county superintendent of schools to make computations for each elementary and secondary school district that has fewer than 2,501 units of second principal apportionment average daily attendance and maintains at least one school that meets the criteria for a necessary small school. This bill would deem Gasquet Mountain Elementary School and Margaret Keating Elementary School to be necessary small schools and make the Del Norte County Unified School District eligible to receive apportionments for each school pursuant to its status as a necessary small school. The bill also would deem Rail Road Flat Elementary School to be a necessary small school and make the Calaveras Unified School District eligible to receive apportionments for this school pursuant to its status as a necessary small school. This bill would provide that if the average daily attendance of any of these schools exceeds 100, then the school would no longer be eligible to receive apportionments as a necessary small school. (2) This bill would make legislative findings and declarations as to the necessity of a special statute for the Del Norte County Unified School District and the Calaveras Unified School District. (3) This bill would declare that it is to take effect immediately as an urgency statute.
