| CA | Signed into law 09/2012 | P-12 | Amends conditions under which a trustee and necessary staff appointed to a district receiving an emergency apportionment must serve (a trustee must be appointed to a district by the superintendent of public instruction if the district board requests an emergency apportionment after determining during a fiscal year that its revenues are less than the amount needed to meet its current year expenditure obligations). New provisions require trustee to serve until the district has adequate fiscal systems and controls in place, the superintendent of public instruction determines that the district's future compliance with an approved fiscal plan is probable, and the superintendent of public instruction decides to terminate the trustee's appointment, but in no event, for less than 3 years.
Authorizes the county superintendent of schools who has jurisdiction over the district, after the trustee's period of service and until the loan is repaid, to stay or rescind an action of the district board that, in his/her judgment, may affect the district's financial condition. Requires the county superintendent of schools to notify the superintendent of public instruction within 5 business days of staying or rescinding an action of the district board. If the superintendent of public instruction receives this notice from the county superintendent of schools, requires the superintendent of public instruction to report to the legislature, on or before December 30 of every year, whether the district is complying with the fiscal plan approved for the district.
Authorizes the superintendent of public instruction, within 5 years after an appointed trustee is removed or the emergency apportionment is repaid, whichever occurs later, to reassume, either directly or through an
administrator, all of the legal rights, duties, and powers of the district board if the district violates any provision of specified recovery plans approved by the superintendent of public instruction. Authorizes a qualifying district's governing board, after one complete fiscal year has elapsed following the qualifying district's acceptance of an emergency apportionment, to conduct an annual advisory evaluation of the administrator appointed by the superintendent of public instruction. Requires the evaluation criteria to be agreed upon by the district board and the administrator. Requires the advisory evaluation of the administrator to be submitted to the governor, legislature,superintendent of public instruction, and the County Office Fiscal Crisis and Management Assistance Team.
Incorporates additional changes in Section 41326 of the Education Code, proposed by AB 2662 (http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/pub/11-12/bill/asm/ab_2651-2700/ab_2662_bill_20120926_chaptered.pdf), to be operative only if AB 2662 and this bill are both chaptered and become effective January 1, 2013, and this bill is chaptered last.
