Until July 1, 2017, authorizes a county board of education, subject to the concurrence of the county superintendent of schools, to loan moneys from the proceeds of revenue anticipation notes to a charter school for which the county board or county superintendent has supervisory responsibility or, regardless of whether the charter school is within or outside of the county, with which a county board or county superintendent has a contractual relationship. Requires the county superintendent, before the county board makes the loan, to take specified actions regarding the advisability of the loan. Provides that any loan of moneys pursuant to these provisions does not constitute a debt or liability of the county superintendent, the county board, or the state. Prohibits a charter school from receiving more than one of these loans per fiscal year. Requires the county board, as a condition of making a loan to a charter school, to report to the department by September 15 of each year specified information on loans made to charter schools within the prior fiscal year, and requires the department to compile that information into a report to be annually submitted to the appropriate policy and fiscal committees of the legislature, the department of finance, and the legislative analyst's office.
Requires the governing board of a district seeking to sell or lease real property designed to provide direct instruction or instructional support it deems to be surplus property to first provide a written offer for the sale or lease of the surplus property to any charter school that has submitted a written request to the district to be notified of surplus real property offered by the district for sale or lease. Requires any real property sold or leased to a charter school to be used exclusively to provide direct instruction or instructional support for no less than 5 years from the date the real property is available to the charter school pursuant to a sale, or, if the charter school leased the real property, until the real property is returned to the possession of the district. Authorizes a district governing board to (1) sell surplus property to any park district, city, or county in
which the school district is wholly or partially situated for specified uses, (2) sell or lease surplus real property to a contracting agency, or (3) only sell or lease any schoolsite containing specified land to certain public agencies in accordance with particular priorities, only if a charter school has not accepted an offer to purchase or lease the property. Requires the sale or lease with an option to purchase of district real property to first be offered for sale or lease to any interested charter school for purposes of providing direct instruction or instructional support.
Requires the price at which the real property is sold to a charter school to not exceed the district's cost of acquisition, adjusted as specified. Requires the annual rate of real property leased to a charter school not to exceed 5% of the maximum sale price. Requires the school district advisory committee to hold hearings to receive community input before selling or leasing real property to a charter school. Requires these provisions to only apply to real property identified by a district as surplus property after July 1, 2012. (Makes this provision inoperative on June 30, 2013, and repeals it as of January 1, 2014.)
Requires the department of education to monitor the adequacy of the amount of funds in the Charter School Revolving Loan Fund and report annually to the department of finance and the controller on the need, if any, to transfer funds from the Charter School Security Fund to the Charter School Revolving Loan Fund to replace funds lost due to loan defaults. Provides for such a transfer to be made.
Until July 1, 2017, authorizes a charter school to contract with a county superintendent or county board to borrow moneys to establish or operate a charter school. Requires the borrowed moneys to be expended solely for purposes of meeting the charter school's cash management needs due to the deferral of apportionment payments and not for purposes of making capital acquisitions. Existing law requires the state superintendent to annually compute a general-purpose entitlement, funded from a combination of state aid and local funds, for each charter school. New provisions require the computation of the general-purpose entitlement to be reduced by any amount derived from a proposed constitutional provision relating to education funding.
