Education finance: local control funding formula: base grant add-on: pupil mental health.

Existing law establishes a public school financing system that requires state funding for county superintendents of schools, school districts, and charter schools to be calculated pursuant to a local control funding formula, as specified. Existing law requires the state funding apportioned to school districts and charter schools to be based on a base grant, as specified, and requires, among other things, the base grant for grades 9 to 12, inclusive, to be adjusted by an additional 2.6%, as adjusted for inflation. Commencing with the 2021–22 fiscal year, this bill would require the Superintendent of Public Instruction to additionally adjust each grade span adjusted base grant by a certain amount, as provided, and would condition eligibility of those funds on a school district or charter school annually electing to receive the funds and documenting in its annual audit that certain requirements relating to pupil mental health services have been met for the corresponding fiscal year.
