Education finance: emergencies: snowstorms.

Existing law requires that a school district, county office of education, or charter school that was prevented, due to certain emergencies, including, but not limited to, prescribed natural disasters, from maintaining its schools during a fiscal year for at least 180 days for a school district or county office of education or at least 175 days for a charter school, to receive the same apportionments as if it had not been prevented from maintaining those required number of days, as provided. For purposes of state apportionments based on average daily attendance, as provided, if the average daily attendance of a school district, county office of education, or charter school has been materially decreased during a fiscal year because of a specified emergency, existing law requires the Superintendent of Public Instruction to estimate the average daily attendance in a manner that credits to the school district, county office of education, or charter school approximately the total average daily attendance that would have been credited to the school district, county office of education, or charter school had the emergency not occurred. This bill would add snowstorms to the list of emergencies for which the above-described provisions apply, as provided.
